Graduate school socialization and mentoring are based on adult development theory as articulated by Jung, Erickson, and Levinson. As adults mature, they go through several stages of detaching from family and learning how to live in the world. During this period (which encompasses undergraduate and graduate education), special relationships are often formed to help ease the transition to adulthood by providing advice and mentoring. A mentor is a person who helps guide another person into a profession and contributes to his or her professional development. The mentor may serve as a professional role model and teacher, providing encouragement, direction, information, and friendship. Levinson’s work in particular revealed mentoring to be an important part of adult development. However, a review of the literature revealed a lack of research on the characteristics and consequences of mentor relationships and on male-female differences in mentor relationships A written multiple choice survey was administered to 28 male and 28 female doctoral level faculty members at Western Kentucky University. The results were examined to learn whether subjects had been mentored in graduate school, and whether they had same-gender or cross-gender relationships. The study assessed the characteristics and functions of mentoring relationships, and sought to determine whether graduate school mentoring was associated with differences in productivity, professional satisfaction, and whether they had become mentors themselves. A stratified sample was used to match subjects by academic college, year degree was received (within five years), age (within 10 years), and, where possible, academic department and type of degree. The results were analyzed using the Chi-Square test for significance. It was found that 78.6% of the men and 75.0% of the women had mentors, but women were significantly more likely than men to have had cross-gender relationships. The presence or absence of mentoring was not significantly related to either productivity or professional satisfaction. Although the difference was not significant, faculty members who had been mentored were more likely to become mentors themselves. The findings from the present study were compared to the findings of previous research, and suggestions for future research were discussed, including the need for similar research with a larger sample that includes a wide variety of professional and non-professional occupations. A longitudinal study which follows the professional development of students who have been questioned about their mentor relationships was also suggested as a means toward a better understanding of the possible contribution of mentor relationships to a person’s professional development.

A pesquisa foi desenvolvida na PUC-Campinas, valendo-se de questionários aplicados aos acadêmicos do Programa de Pós- Graduação e dos cursos de Especialização e Graduação da Faculdade de Educação. Foram sujeitos da pesquisa 331 alunos os quais opinaram sobre ação afirmativa, cota, democracia racial, fornecendo dados quanto ao trabalho, aos cursos freqüentados anteriormente, à renda familiar e auto declaração quanto à cor, a fim de mapear-se o número de alunos negros na Faculdade de Educação. Como resultado, obtiveram-se estes dados: a faculdade de educação é freqüentada por uma maioria feminina e branca e o total de negros (a soma daqueles que se auto declararam de cor preta ou de cor parda) é de 61 alunos. Brancos e negros declararam a inoperância das cotas e questionaram as ações afirmativas dirigidas ao negro por julgarem a medida discriminatória / Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the presence of black students in the university, analyzing the measures proposed by the government for augmenting the number of black students in higher education. This research was proposed at the Catholic University of Campinas, using questionnaires answered by graduate, specialization and undergraduate students at the School of Education. Opinions on affirmative action, quotas, and racial democracy were emitted by 331 research subjects. Data was collected on work, previous university programs, family income and self declarations about color, in order to map out the number of black students in the School of Education. The results showed that the student body at the School of Education is made up primarily of white female students. The total number of black students (who declare themselves black or of mixed blood) is 61 students. Both black and white declare that the quota issue is not viable and they question affirmative actions directed towards the black population, as being essentially discriminatory / Doutorado / Doutor em Educação

Die Fakultät Wirtschaftswissenschaften der Technischen Universität reicht mit ihren Vorläufereinrichtungen bis in die Gründungsphase der Technischen Bildungsanstalt und späteren Technischen Universität Dresden im Jahr 1828. In ihrer Geschichte spiegelt sich wie kaum bei einer anderen Fakultät dieser Universität die deutsche Geschichte der vergangenen knapp 200 Jahre mit allen ihren Höhen und Tiefen, Brüchen und Neuanläufen wider. (... aus dem Vorwort)
