Magister Curationis - MCur / The clinical Skills Laboratory Method (SLM) is currently utilised at some universities in South Africa. This is an innovative clinical teaching and learning strategy that allows learner nurses to set their own goals and take responsibility for their learning. In 2007, the method had been introduced to the new first-year learners and subsequently the second, third and fourth year student levels followed. The skills laboratory method consists of five phases: orientation, visualisation, guided practice, independent learning, and assessment. It allows learners the opportunity to observe, practise, and develop their clinical skills in a safe and risk-free environment. In addition, it might assist learners with developing their critical thinking, critical reasoning, and decision-making abilities. As a clinical facilitator at a university, the researcher observed that certain problems occurred in relation to the implementation of the phases. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe learners’ perceptions of the manner in which the facilitators implemented the SLM and to describe guidelines for facilitators to improve the comprehensive implementation of the SLM of an undergraduate nursing programme. A quantitative, explorative, and descriptive research design was used to investigate how learner nurses perceive the skills laboratory method and to what extent the phases of the method were implemented. The accessible population (N = 980) consisted of learner nurses who were enrolled for a Bachelor of Nursing degree at a university in the Western Cape Province. In this study systematic stratified random sampling were used because class lists of all registered learner nurses from first to fourth year were available. The researcher identified every fourth learner (k = 4) of the four years respectively (n = 276). The researcher collected the data personally by means of a survey questionnaire with closed-ended questions that required responses to be indicated according to a 5-point Likert scale. It took approximately 15 - 20 minutes to complete the questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and a factor analysis were performed to reduce the data with the purpose of making it more interpretable. Data was analysed with the assistance of a statistician who used the Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 21 (SPSS). For interpretation purposes, the researcher presented the statistical information in tables and figures. Twelve factors emerged from the factor analysis: (i) information received during orientation, (ii) introduction during orientation, (iii) orientation to resources in the skills laboratory, (iv) facilitator interaction during visualisation, (v) progression of demonstrations, (vi) authenticity of simulation, (vii) progression of guided practices, (viii) facilitator feedback during guided practice, (ix) encouragement during independent practice, (x) support during independent practice, (xi) planning of assessments, and (xii) facilitator’s role during assessments.The findings indicated that although facilitators did implement the phases of the SLM, some facilitators omitted or did not fully adhere to all the steps in each of the five phases. Factors such as the information and organisation during the orientation phase, knowledge and behaviour of facilitators throughout the phases, teaching strategies used by facilitators during demonstrations, and feedback to learners during assessments required attention. Twelve guidelines were described from those findings with the aim of improving the comprehensive implementation of the SLM and it was recommended that facilitators implement those factors to ensure positive learning experiences for learner nurses. The researcher ensured validity and reliability during the study and adhered to ethical considerations.

This study aims at finding out instructors&rsquo / perceived competencies in Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and Ministry of Education (MONE) competencies, and accordingly exploring strengths and weaknesses of the ELT undergraduate program as well as providing suggestions for a more effective and fruitful program. At the first phase of the research, a questionnaire is given to seventy-five participants, working in the department of Foreign Languages at various universities. For the second phase of the study, an interview prepared in the light of the questionnaire results is conducted with thirty-four of aforementioned participants. The results of this study illustrate that the participants find themselves more competent in learning, language proficiency, planning, instructing, and content than assessing, identity and context, and commitment and professionalism since the participants believe in the need of improving themselves in latter standards. Similarly, they consider the methodology, general education and language components of the ELT undergraduate program effective because they find those components practical and focused during the program while the literature and linguistics components are thought to be ineffective in preparing them for the profession as the methodology of these components, which is not integrated with ELT enough. Lastly, in the lights of these findings, some suggestions are made for improving the program. For further research, all ELT teachers&rsquo / perceptions in Turkey can be investigated and suggestions for a better undergraduate program can be asked.

Especificamente, investigou-se os conteúdos das disciplinas e o lugar ocupado pelas mesmas na matriz curricular do curso. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa aplicada, de natureza qualitativa, com alguns aspectos quantitativos, na qual se fez uso do método descritivo e exploratório em razão das características do objeto estudado. Do universo em estudo, participaram da pesquisa os coordenadores dos cursos de Biblioteconomia e docentes que ministram disciplinas que apresentem relações com a temática investigada. Além disso, como fontes de obtenção de dados utilizou-se os Projetos Político Pedagógico (PPP) e as matrizes curriculares dos referidos cursos. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de questionário semiaberto e de informações constantes em fontes documentais. Para analisar os dados foram criadas categorias temáticas com o intuito de facilitar a interpretação e as discussões dos resultados. Os resultados evidenciaram que os componentes curriculares contemplam de forma superficial os conteúdos relacionados à formação dos bibliotecários para atuar na BE, sendo que as disciplinas que abordam esses conteúdos estão em posição de menor expressão na matriz curricular, isto é, no quadro de disciplinas optativas. Os dados trazidos por este estudo revelaram que a formação do bibliotecário ainda está aquém da desejável, uma vez que os conteúdos abordados nas disciplinas mostramse insuficiente para capacitar esses profissionais. Diante do apresentado, conclui-se que as lacunas no processo de formação do bibliotecário na referida região poderão repercutir negativamente no exercício da cidadania, haja vista que é no espaço da BE que são desenvolvidas atividades de fomento à leitura, à pesquisa e ao estudo. Via de regra, é nesse ambiente que os estudantes da comunidade escolar têm contato com as várias possibilidades de conhecimentos necessários à vida em sociedade. Nesse sentido, repensar a responsabilidade social na formação desses profissionais ainda é um desafio, principalmente quando se trata de preparar agentes que desenvolverão ações voltadas para formação do leitor e do usuário de biblioteca. / ABSTRACT The study aimed to analyze the curricular program of the courses of Library Scienceat Federal Universities in Northeast of Brazil, identifying the subjects that approach the school library (SL) on the librarian ‘undergraduate program. Specifically, we investigated the subjects of the course and the place occupied by them in the curricular program. This work is an applied and qualitative research, with some quantitative aspects which made use of the descriptive and exploratory method considering the characteristics of the studied object. From the studied context, who participated during the research were coordinators of Library Science courses and professors who teach subjects that have relations with the subject investigated. Further, as sources for obtaining data we have used the Projetos Político Pedagógico (PPP) and curricular program of these courses. Data were collected through a semi-open questionnaire and information contained in documentary sources. To analyze the data were created thematic categories to facilitate the interpretation and discussion of results. The results evidenced that curricular program components include superficially the related subjects in refer to the librarians’ undergraduate course in their training to work in SL. However these subjects that address these contents have a low position in curricular program in the context of elective courses. The data provided by this study revealed that the formation of the librarian is still bellow to desirable, due to the studied subjects to act in SL are insufficient to train these professionals. Ultimately, it is concluded that gaps in the training process of the librarian in Northeast of the Brazil will could have negative repercussions on the construction of citizenship in this place, considering SL as an environment where activities for encouraging studying, researching and reading are developed. Accordingly, it is in this environment that the students of the school community have contact with the various possibilities of necessary knowledge to live in society. In this sense, rethinking the social responsibility in the training of these professionals is still a challenge, especially regarding to preparing agents to will develop actions for the reader and library user training.

As a qualitative research in its core, with the use of questionnaire and interviews to collect data and main theoretical reference brings theory/practice concepts, as well as pre-teaching internship programs and distance learning. Bibliographic review showed that monitored internship is the most important phase of teacher training, when students can approach professional teaching practice and have the opportunity to reflect upon theories visited during their program as well as creating their own. The choice for distance learning programs is a result of a cost-benefit analysis, which includes schedule flexibility, affordable tuition fees, compliance with legal educational requirements and teaching career development. Monitored internship offers multiple formative possibilities, and is part of a context of expansion of Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in Brazil, and at the same time, of commodification of higher education. A great number of participants of this research reported they have not accomplished the legal requirement of completing internship time in Basic Education schools, and also that the monitoring and follow up services provided by the HEI is insufficient for proper teacher training. The articulation between theory and practice for these students will only make sense after the end of the program, while the internship (if carried) brings new meanings for the practice of these new professionals. Such scenario shows the problems of the uncontrolled expansion of Distance Learning Education Programs in Brazil in the latest years, by the huge number of programs that are offered by private HEIs, and reveals the need for revision of the procedures and provisions of this educational format. / A presente pesquisa tem como tema o estágio na formação do docente em cursos de Pedagogia a distância (EAD), buscando compreender o olhar de professores (as) formados (as) nessa modalidade (e que atuam profissionalmente) sobre o estágio realizado nesses cursos, identificando as tensões e as contribuições na formação acadêmica do pedagogo/professor. Com abordagem qualitativa, fazendo uso de questionários e entrevistas para a coleta de dados, o estudo tem como principais referenciais teóricos os conceitos de teoria e prática, o estágio na formação de professores/pedagogos e a educação a distância. A revisão bibliográfica realizada demonstra que o estágio supervisionado é o grande ápice da formação docente, constituindo o momento em que o aluno se aproxima da prática profissional e tem a possibilidade de refletir e tecer articulações acerca das teorias estudadas no curso. A opção pela modalidade a distância por parte do estudante ocorre devido à flexibilidade quanto aos horários de estudo, à acessibilidade dos valores das mensalidades, ao atendimento das exigências legais e à pretensão de desenvolvimento na carreira docente. O estágio supervisionado apresenta múltiplas possibilidades formativas, em um contexto de expansão do ensino superior brasileiro e, ao mesmo tempo, de mercantilização da educação superior. A maioria dos sujeitos da pesquisa relatou não ter realizado o estágio nas escolas de educação básica, conforme exigência legal, sendo o acompanhamento e a supervisão insuficientes para uma formação de qualidade. A articulação entre teoria e prática vai fazer sentido para os estudantes após o término do curso, enquanto o estágio (quando realizado) serve para ressignificar as práticas desses profissionais. Tal cenário indica a imperativa problematização da expansão dos cursos de Licenciatura em Pedagogia na modalidade EAD no Brasil nos últimos anos, pelo gigantismo dos cursos oferecidos por instituições de ensino superior privadas, bem como revela a necessária revisão dos procedimentos de regulamentação dessa modalidade educacional.

Guided by the dialectical historical materialism method, discussing the theme: the discursive meanings formation and professionalization of the beginners and graduating students’ from the undergraduate program Pedagogia, from FE/UFG, year of 2017; the methodology used was a questionnaire, with both open and closed types of questions. In the research, the goal is to answer the following questions - what are the discursive meanings about the conceptions of the formation and professionalization of the beginner and graduating teacher-students from the undergraduate program Pedagogia, from FE/UFG? Which kinds of discursive meanings do the students reveal? The main goal was to identify, to analyze, and to comprehend the discursive meanings about the beginners and graduating teacher-students formation and professionalization among the undergraduate students from the program Pedagogia, from FE/UFG, year 2017; and how the specific goals were to analyze and comprehend the constitution of the public university, the historic process of the teachers’ formation and professionalization, in special the teacher graduated from the program Pedagogia, as well as how to describe, analyze the discursive meanings and to comprehend the socioeconomic profiles of the of the teacher-students surveyed and the other data collected with the answers to the questionnaire questions. It was considered the influence of the educational politics, throughout a bibliographic survey and a documental research. It is discussed, through the chapters, the repercussions of the most recent educational reforms about the public universities and the teachersstudents’ education, formation and professionalization, from undergraduate students from the program Pedagogia, from FE/UFG. The social political historicity from the country is resumed with the intent of highlighting how the changes occurred reshaped the formation of the teachers and, therefore, the Brazilian educational system through its reconceptualization as merchandise, removing, this way, the formation as well as the education of their character of social rights, in which the main requirement would be the performance of conscious and emancipated teachers. Entailing into the achievement of a lightened and hegemonic formation, focused on fulfilling the interests of Multilateral Organisms, overvaluing the practice, efficiency, competency, and efficacy. Stating, like this, the alienation of the individuals in the process that modifies the social functions of the teachers. This reality is also reinforced in the teachers’ professionalization processes, with the finality that they follow the neoliberal ideological discourse that excludes their identity and group conscience. Through the data analysis, it is understood the need of the implementation of discussions, during the undergraduate program Pedagogia from FE/UFG, about the contradictions and ideological disputes found in the public university, also the conception of the formation and, specially, a teachers’ professionalization against hegemonic ideals, which would bring up not alienated, critics, questioners and autonomous individuals. Through this work with subjective meanings it was possible to also identify the existence of gaps in the discourses of the researched students, in terms discussed, such as teaching, social function of the schools, educational work, research and curriculum, therefore it was noticed the need of rethinking about those themes during the undergraduate program. / Esta dissertação vincula-se à linha de pesquisa “Formação, Profissionalização Docente e Trabalho Educativo” do PPGE/FE/UFG, e integra a Redecentro - Rede de pesquisadores sobre professores(as) do Centro-Oeste/Brasil. Pautando-se no método materialismo histórico dialético, trabalha com o tema: os sentidos discursivos sobre formação e profissionalização docente dos(as) graduandos(as) ingressantes e concluintes do curso de Pedagogia, da FE/UFG, do ano de 2017; utilizando-se do instrumento metodológico questionário, com perguntas fechadas e abertas. Na pesquisa, busca-se responder as seguintes questões: quais são os sentidos discursivos sobre a concepção de formação e profissionalização docente dos(as) graduandos(as) ingressantes e concluintes do curso de Pedagogia da FE/UFG? O que os sentidos discursivos dos estudantes revelam? Tendo como objetivo geral identificar, analisar e compreender os sentidos discursivos sobre a formação e profissionalização docente entre os discentes ingressantes e concluintes do curso de Pedagogia da FE/UFG do ano de 2017; e como objetivos específicos analisar e compreender a constituição da universidade pública, o processo histórico da formação e da profissionalização docente, em especial do(a) Pedagogo(a), bem como descrever, analisar e compreender os sentidos discursivos e o perfil socioeconômico dos estudantes da graduação pesquisados e os demais dados coletados com as respostas as perguntas do questionário. Considerando, para isso, a influência das políticas educacionais, por meio de um levantamento bibliográfico e de uma pesquisa documental. Discute-se, ao longo dos capítulos, as repercussões das reformas educacionais mais recentes sobre a universidade pública e a educação, formação e profissionalização docente no curso de Pedagogia/FE/UFG. A historicidade sociopolítica do país é retomada no intuito de destacar como as mudanças ocorridas reconfiguram a formação de docentes e, por consequência, a educação brasileira por meio de sua reconceituação como mercadoria, destituindo, desta maneira, tanto a formação como a educação do seu caráter de direito social, cuja principal exigência seria o trabalho de professores emancipados e conscientes. O que acarreta a realização de uma formação hegemônica e aligeirada, direcionada ao atendimento dos interesses dos Organismos Multilaterais, supervalorizando a prática, a eficiência, a competência e a eficácia. Constatando-se, assim, a alienação dos sujeitos no processo que modifica a função social dos docentes. Esta realidade está reforçada também nos processos de profissionalização docente, com a finalidade de que os professores sigam o discurso ideológico neoliberal, que retira a sua identidade e consciência de classe. Através da análise dos dados, compreende-se a necessidade da realização de discussões no curso de Pedagogia FE/UFG sobre as contradições e disputas ideológicas presentes na universidade pública, debatendo-se a respeito da concepção de formação e, em especial, de profissionalização docente contra-hegemônica, buscando a constituição de sujeitos desalienados, críticos, questionadores e autônomos, que lutam contra os ditames neoliberais. Mediante o trabalho com os sentidos subjetivos foi possível identificar também a existência de lacunas nos discursos dos discentes pesquisados, de termos como ensino, função social da escola, trabalho educativo, pesquisa e currículo, por isso a necessidade de serem repensados no curso.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This dissertation is associated to the doctoral program in Education from the Graduation Program in Education from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) and belongs to the Research Line LP3 Special Education. The relevance and need of this study proposal lies on the fact that there are no studies on high abilities/gifted (HA/G) directed to the identification of elderly people and also in the lack of theoretical contributions that support this discussion. The objective of this study was to identify HA/G in elderly scholars inserted in the undergraduate program of the Federal University of Santa Maria, located in Rio Grande do Sul (RS) in order for them to be able to recognize themselves with indicators and characteristics of HA/G) and receive educational service consistent with their needs. Thus, it was developed a tool that allowed the identification of HA/G in elderly scholars in order to facilitate their insertion the social and academic environment. This qualitative research is characterized as a case study. The participants of this investigation were eight scholars that were more than 60 years old, who entered UFSM through vestibular for attending mode , and that are nowadays regular students of the institution in the graduation courses. Following a theoretical framework that serves as basis for the study and the data collected, categories of analysis were selected based on the premises of Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2011). Among the instruments that were part of this study, there is the individual questionnaire used to identify the indicators of HA/G in Elderly People (QIIAHSDI), adapted from Pérez (2008), that went through a process of validation previous to its application, a Personal Information Form (PIF) used in order to obtain personal, family, work, and leisure activities information, and also a semi-structures interview. Many of the common indicators found in the studies carried out with adults cited by Pérez (2008) and Delpretto (2009) were noticed in the elderly participants, such as curiosity, creativity, leadership, persistence, high sense of humor, autonomy, and preference for challenges. The identification of elderly people will favor adequate educational alternatives and recognition of their behaviors and potentialities, since it is a necessity to identify them, favoring their understanding according to their personal, intelectual, and emotional characteristics linked to HA/G. / Esta tese está vinculada ao curso de doutorado em Educação do Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM) e faz parte da Linha de Pesquisa LP3 Educação Especial. A relevância e a necessidade desta proposta de estudo estão no fato de não existirem estudos referentes às Altas Habilidades/Superdotação (AH/SD) direcionados à identificação de pessoas idosas e na escassez de aportes teóricos que subsidiem essa discussão. Este estudo teve como objetivo a identificação de AH/SD em acadêmicos idosos inseridos no ensino superior da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, localizada no Rio Grande do Sul (RS), no intuito de que estes possam se reconhecer com indicadores e características de AH/SD e receber um atendimento educacional condizente com as suas necessidades. Dessa forma, foi desenvolvido um instrumento que possibilitou a identificação das AH/SD em acadêmicos idosos para facilitar a sua inserção no âmbito acadêmico e social. Esta pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo, caracteriza-se como estudo de caso. Os sujeitos participantes desta investigação foram oito acadêmicos com mais de 60 anos, os quais tiveram como forma de ingresso na UFSM o concurso do vestibular para a modalidade presencial, e que, atualmente, são alunos regulares da instituição nos cursos de graduação. Partindo do embasamento teórico que estrutura o estudo e dos dados coletados, foram elencadas categorias para a realização da análise, partindo dos pressupostos da Análise do Conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011). Dentre os instrumentos que fizeram parte deste estudo, está o questionário individual para identificação de indicadores de AH/SD em Idosos (QIIAHSDI), adaptado de Pérez (2008), que passou por um processo de validação para posterior aplicação, uma Ficha de Informações Pessoais no intuito de obter informações pessoais, familiares, laborais e sobre as atividades de lazer, e uma entrevista semiestruturada. Muitos dos indicadores comuns encontrados nos estudos realizados com pessoas adultas citados por Pérez (2008) e Delpretto (2009) foram visualizados nos sujeitos idosos, como a curiosidade, a criatividade, a liderança, a persistência, o senso de humor elevado, a autonomia e a preferência por desafios. A identificação do público idoso favorecerá alternativas educativas adequadas e reconhecimento de seus comportamentos e potencialidades, pois é uma necessidade identificá-los, favorecendo o seu entendimento de acordo com as suas características pessoais, intelectuais e emocionais relacionadas às AH/SD.

The purpose of this study was to survey information systems (IS) curriculum in Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accredited information systems programs across the United States, to evaluate current adherence to the IS 2010 curriculum guidelines, and to assess the number and type of career track developments initiated as a result of less stringent requirements in the new curriculum guidelines. In addition, an analysis was conducted to see if curriculum in AACSB-accredited information systems programs across the United States changed significantly since other similar evaluations reported in 1996 and 2006, and whether it is closer in adherence to the IS 2010 curriculum guidelines. The results of this study provided a current-state description of IS curriculums in the United States, specifically: (a) percentage adherance relationships and between AACSB-accredited information systems programs to IS 2010 curriculum guidelines; (b) defined curriculum profiles or latent class cluster characteristics of recent career track developments that have emerged; and (c) perceptions of adherence by the IS department faculty compared to the assessed adherence to IS 2010 curriculum guidelines. In the findings, a comprehensive view of the landscape for adherence to IS curriculum guidelines is discussed, including the following. (a) There is a wide range of adherence to the IS curriculum guidelines. In addition, none of the IS program assessed were either entirely compliant or not compliant at all. (b) Some topics are widely covered (over half) as core curriculum while other topics are offered as core curriculum in less than half of IS programs. (c) Very few IS programs have formally implemented the IS 2010 career track guideline recommendations. (d) IS programs implementing formal career tracks specify a reasonably small number of track options for students to consider. (e) IS programs that include career tracks provide unique offerings beyond the proposed sample tracks depicted in the IS 2010 curriculum guidelines. (f) There appear to be reasonably well-defined categories or clusters of IS programs as related to IS 2010 curriculum guideline adherence. (g) IS program faculty describe a higher perceived adherence to IS curriculum guidelines than what is actually assessed in this study. (228 pages)

A fim de melhorar o processo de tomada de decisão dos coordenadores de curso de graduação e contribuir para a qualidade e sustentabilidade dos cursos de graduação, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo geral propor um Sistema de Informações Gerenciais (SIG), com base em dados internos e externos. A pesquisa busca responder à seguinte questão: na gestão de cursos de graduação em IES privadas, quais informações são relevantes para os coordenadores de cursos, considerando o binômio qualidade e sustentabilidade? A instituição utilizada como campo empírico foi a Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, universidade jesuíta e comunitária no sul do país. O método utilizado para esta pesquisa foi o estudo de caso, com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, utilizando-se como instrumentos para a coleta de dados entrevistas com gerentes da Unidade de Graduação e a aplicação de um questionário online aos coordenadores de curso. Para a análise dos dados, foi utilizada a técnica da análise descritiva. O resultado final deste projeto evidencia a dificuldade e o esforço dos coordenadores para a busca e acesso às informações necessárias para suas atividades de gestão. Além disso, foi possível classificar diversos tipos de informação quanto à sua importância e acessibilidade para os coordenadores de curso visando à composição de um sistema de informações gerenciais. Outrossim, foi possível demostrar, através de um protótipo, a simulação do sistema com base na arquitetura de TI proposta para este projeto. / Brazilian Education has had a new configuration due to the expansion of the private educational sector since the 1990’s. In this context, educational management of the undergraduate courses, through the figure of the coordinator, has been a key element in the management process as it guarantees academic excellence and sustainability of Brazil’s higher education institutions. In order to enhance the process of decision taking among the coordinators of undergraduate programs and also to contribute to the quality and sustainability of those courses, this research has the general aim of proposing a System of Managerial Information (SIG, for short in Portuguese), based on both internal and external data. The research seeks to answer the following question: in the management of the undergraduate courses of Higher Education Institutions, what pieces of information are relevant to the courses managers when quality and sustainability are taken into consideration? The institution that has been empirically used was Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, a jesuit and community university in Southern Brazil. A case study has been carried out as the method for this research, with both a quantitative and qualitative approach. As instruments for the data collection, we have used interviews with managers of the Undergraduation Department as well as an online questionnaire to courses managers. For the data analysis, the technique of descriptive analysis has been used. The final result of this project lets show the difficulty and effort of coordinators and managers to search and access information which is necessary for their managerial activities. Furthermore, it was possible to classify several types of information regarding its importance and accessibility for college managers aiming at the development of a system of managerial information for undergraduate programs managers. It has also been possible, by means of a prototype, the simulation of the system based on the IT architecture that was proposed for this project.
