This campus was the first academic unit from the Federal Program for Expansion and Decentralization of Higher Education Institutions in Brazil (REUNI). It was also the first campus established by UFRPE in the country side of Pernambuco State. The new unit is considered an important tool to foster local development in the ‘Agreste Meridional’ region of Pernambuco State. The main characteristic of this study was to identify sustainable development through the actions of the Agroecology Group from UAG/UFRPE by measuring educational, social, and economical development as well as professional qualification. The research was classified as a case study where qualitative and exploratory aspects were addressed. The survey was performed by analyzing the documents from the Agroecology group records. Methods used in this assessment included reports, systematization of participatory diagnostics, semi-structured interviews, direct observations, and bibliographic research. The dissertation was organized in for chapters, reporting its discussions under the framework of University rural extension; family farming; agroecology and sustainable local development. Confronting the findings of the research with the empirical contextualization of this study allowed identifying the difficulties found by the Agroecology Group, such as the infrastructure and the responsibility from both local and state governmental agencies, with the support of the University. From the intellectual build-up and humanistic perspective for the family farmers, the Agroecology Group delivered the expected results by promoting the continuation of the true process of sustainable development and agroecology by fostering local culture and endogenous knowledge. / Neste estudo é analisada a experiência do Núcleo de Agroecologia da Unidade Acadêmica de Garanhuns da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco (UAG/UFRPE), primeira unidade implantada pela UFRPE no interior do estado, a partir do Projeto de Expansão e Interiorização das Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior do País, como importante instrumento no processo de desenvolvimento local, neste caso específico, do Agreste Meridional de Pernambuco. A principal característica desse estudo foi identificar como a perspectiva do desenvolvimento sustentável aparece nas ações daquele núcleo, por meio do desenvolvimento educacional; socioeconômico e qualificação profissional. Trata-se de um estudo de caso de caráter qualitativo e exploratório, utilizando as ferramentas metodológicas centradas na pesquisa documental do Núcleo de Agroecologia, relatórios, sistematização de Diagnósticos Participativos, entrevistas semiestruturadas, observações diretas e pesquisa bibliográfica. O texto dissertativo está organizado em quatro capítulos, cujas discussões se reportam à Extensão Rural e Universitária; Agricultura Familiar; Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Sustentável. O confronto destas categorias com as contextualizações empíricas deste trabalho possibilitaram identificar as dificuldades encontradas pelo Núcleo, no que diz respeito à infraestrutura, sobretudo, às responsabilidades que cabiam ao Poder Público municipal e com o apoio da própria Universidade. Por outro lado, em referência à formação intelectual e humana dos agricultores familiares, docentes, discentes e participantes das ações, o núcleo vem cumprindo expressivamente seu papel, possibilitando a continuidade do processo de desenvolvimento sustentável, através da Agroecologia, por meio da valorização cultural e respeito aos saberes endógenos.

Fundamentado na teoria piagetiana, esse curso tem por objetivo a formação continuada de professores de creche de acordo com os princípios pedagógicos do PROEPRE- Programa de Educação Infantil e Ensino Fundamental-, conta também com a contribuição dos modelos curriculares oficiais das cidades de Reggio Emília (Itália) e Barcelona (Espanha), da "Associação Criança" da Universidade do Minho, Braga (Portugal). Para realizar essa investigação formaram-se dois grupos. O primeiro constituído por uma amostra de 34 alunos matriculados na cidade de Campinas-SP e, o segundo, por uma amostra de 29 alunos matriculados na cidade de Itapira-SP, totalizando, assim, uma amostra de 63 alunos. Para a coleta de dados utilizaram-se dois instrumentos: um questionário para obtenção dos dados demográficos, ou seja, a idade do aluno, o tempo de serviço, sua formação inicial e continuada, carga horária de trabalho; e um teste situacional, o qual foi aplicado como pré e pós-teste. A presente pesquisa foi desenvolvida em três etapas. A primeira etapa consistiu na aplicação do questionário para coleta dos dados demográficos, sendo que, ainda nesta fase, foi aplicado o teste situacional. Na segunda etapa as alunas participaram do curso do PROEPRE: "Fundamentos teóricos e práticas pedagógicas para a educação infantil I" e, na terceira e última etapa foi aplicado novamente o teste situacional. Tendo por objetivo comparar o desempenho das alunas no pré-teste e no pós-teste, foi realizada a análise estatística os resultados a fim de relacionar os dados demográficos e o desempenho apresentado no teste situacional e comparar o desempenho entre as turmas de Campinas-SP e Itapira-SP. Para isso foram utilizados a Análise de Variância (ANOVA), o teste de TuKey e o teste de Mann-Whitney. A análise estatística comprovou que houve mudança significativa nas concepções teóricas do professor, tanto na turma de Campinas-SP como na turma de Itapira-SP. Os resultados indicam que, a idade, o tempo de serviço, a carga horária de trabalho e a formação inicial não influenciaram as mudanças constatadas. Isso significa somente ao curso de extensão do qual participaram podem ser atribuídas às diferenças apontadas pelos resultados do pré-teste e do pós-teste. Tais resultados, também, sinalizam a necessidade e a importância de cursos específicos para a formação de professores de creche, que abordem o desenvolvimento global das crianças pequenas e a organização do trabalho pedagógico para essa instituição, conteúdos insuficientemente trabalhados na formação do professor. / Abstract: The stage of development of the baby and the small child (0-3 years) has been considered a great importance to the the intelligence building, of the emotional ties, for the moral building, construction for the first habits and the motor building. Considering that the envionment where the baby and small child live, it influences the inicial constructions the day nursery centers must be an appropriate and safe place in order to occur this development. Throughout this work it, will be discussed the pedagogical practices from different countries, such as Spain, Italy, Portugal and Brazil that aims to contribute with quality work for this age group. In that sense, this work studied the influence that the course of University Extension - PROEPRE: Fundamentals theoretical and practical teaching for early childhood education (EDU-044) from Campinas, Grimsby, in the year 2007, is on the training of teachers in day nursey centers. For this research we use the data collection and analysis of two instruments: a question form to collect demographic data and situational test, applied as pre-and post-test. The results in this study, it showed that there were significant changes in the theoretical concepts of the teacher has attended the PROEPRE, which leads to reflect the necessity and importance of specific courses for the training of the teachers of day nursey centers. / Doutorado / Psicologia Educacional / Doutor em Educação

Its general objective was to analyze the multiple determinations that have influenced the conceptions of extension in Catholic Universities that, since the approval of Federal Law 12.881, on November 12th in 2013, are now part of a specific group in the scope of higher education: Community Institutions of Higher Education - ICES. The following questions guided the investigation: what determines the conceptions of extension of the Catholic Community Universities? In what way has university extension contributed, over time, for the ICES to maintain their differentiated identity before the State? The studies revealed that: i) there is not only a conception of extension in force in Brazilian universities. Such conceptions are forged in the conceptions of a disputed university in society and are, in one way or another, also referred to the forms of understanding that one has of the relation of exteriority between university and society; ii) the ICES have a complex identity, marked by ambiguities insofar as they converge, in addition to the elements that make up their logos and ethos as a social institution and the particularities of the university in Brazil, the fact that they are nonprofit, mostly philanthropic, therefore in interface with the National Policy of Social Assistance. In addition, their recognition by the State as community IES because of their differentiated work, including through extension, have consolidated them as non-state public institutions - a field that is interposed between public IES and private IES in the strict sense; iii) in the case of Catholic ICES, the orientations emanating from the Catholic Church are added to this identity. From the studies carried out, it is understood that the conceptions of the extension of these Universities determine the tensions between elements of Science, Faith, State and, gradually, the Market, and these elements also conform the identity of these institutions. This calls into question the paradoxes, dilemmas and contradictions that historically demarcate it, and also make it a field of dispute for university conceptions and, at the most, society. As a methodological course, documentary analysis was used in a broad sense, mainly through bibliographical research, analysis of dissertations and theses, and the elaboration of an inventory based on information from the worldwide computer network to characterize ICES and, especially, Of Community Catholic Universities in Brazil and in the World. With the purpose of apprehending conceptions of extension in a Catholic community university, aspects of the extension of the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás were taken by reference for analysis. / Este estudo vincula-se à linha de pesquisa Estado, Políticas e História da Educação e tem como objeto a extensão em Universidades Comunitárias Católicas. Seu objetivo geral foi analisar as múltiplas determinações que têm incidido nas concepções de extensão em Universidades Católicas que, a partir da aprovação da Lei federal no 12.881, de 12 de novembro de 2013, passam a compor um grupo específico no âmbito da educação superior: as Instituições Comunitárias de Educação Superior – ICES. As seguintes questões orientaram a investigação: o que determina as concepções de extensão das Universidades Comunitárias Católicas? De que modo a extensão universitária tem contribuído, ao longo do tempo, para que as ICES mantenham sua identidade diferenciada perante o Estado? Os estudos revelaram que: i) não há apenas uma concepção de extensão vigente nas universidades brasileiras. Tais concepções são forjadas nas concepções de universidade em disputa na sociedade e estão, de um modo ou outro, também referidas às formas de compreensão que se tem da relação de exterioridade entre universidade e sociedade; ii) as ICES possuem uma identidade complexa, marcada por ambiguidades na medida em que convergem, além dos elementos que compõem seu logos e etos como instituição social e as particularidades da universidade no Brasil, o fato de serem IES sem fins lucrativos, majoritariamente filantrópicas, portanto em interface com a Política Nacional de Assistência Social. Além disso, seu reconhecimento pelo Estado como IES comunitárias em razão do trabalho diferenciado que realizam, inclusive por meio da extensão, consolidaram-nas como instituições públicas não-estatais - campo que se interpõe entre as IES públicas e as IES privadas em sentido estrito; iii) no caso das ICES católicas acrescentam-se a essa identidade as orientações emanadas da Igreja Católica. Dos estudos realizados compreende-se que determinam as concepções de extensão dessas Universidades as tensões entre elementos da Ciência, da Fé do Estado e, gradativamente, do Mercado, sendo que esses elementos também conformam a identidade dessas instituições. Isso põe em questão os paradoxos, dilemas e contradições que a demarcam historicamente e fazem da extensão também um campo de disputa de concepções de universidade e, no limite, de sociedade. Como percurso metodológico utilizou-se a análise documental, em sentido lato, fundamentalmente por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, análise de dissertações e teses e da elaboração de um inventário a partir de informações constantes da rede mundial de computadores para caracterização das ICES e, especialmente, das Universidades Comunitárias Católicas no Brasil e no Mundo. Com o fito de apreender concepções de extensão em uma universidade comunitária católica, tomou-se por referência para análise aspectos da extensão da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás.

Extension agents with Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) programmatic responsibilities come from a variety of backgrounds but are expected to implement educational programs across FCS knowledge areas. This study examined [state] University Extension personnel’s perceived importance of and perceived ability related to human development competencies. There was a significant difference between how specialists (state-level) and agents (county-level) perceived the importance of three of the five human development concepts. Most agents’ perceived their ability across the human development competencies to be average or just above average. Using the perceived importance and perceived ability data from the agents, next steps include piloting a novel rank-order method which will yield data concerning the relative need for training and the percent of agents needing training in each competency. This information can be used to provide targeted professional development to agents.

The problem of this study was to test and compare the impact of two alternative educational treatments on the rate of success among high-risk students enrolled in the United States History telecourse at Richland College, DCCCD during the Spring Semester of 1980. The purposes of the study were to determine whether 1. The rate of success, that is, the proportion of students completing the course with a grade of "C" or higher, would increase among high-risk students in either experimental group; 2. The rate of success would increase among high-risk students with poor reading skills in either experimental group; 3. The rate of success would increase among high-risk students with poor academic motivation for telecourses in either experimental group; 4. The rate of success would increase among high-risk students when related to the demographic variables used as predictors and collected for the students who were in either experimental group; 5. There would be a difference in the effects of experimental treatment I and experimental treatment II in helping students with poor reading skills to complete the course with a grade of "C" or higher; 6. There would be a difference in the effects of experimental treatment I and experimental treatment II in aiding students with different levels and types of motivation to complete the course with a grade of "C" or higher; 7. There would be a difference in the effects of experimental treatment I and experimental treatment II in helping students with the various demographic characteristics used in the prediction equation to complete the course with a grade of "C" or higher.

The study examined the perceptions of counselor trainees and faculty for multicultural training courses. It developed curriculum information, compared program emphases in the training categories of awareness, skills and knowledge, and explored training importance and opportunity. Professional guidelines were reviewed to identify the training expected from courses which prepared counselors to work with clients from diverse populations. Survey forms were developed and administered to trainees and faculty. The resulting data were analyzed by descriptive methods, primarily of mean scores and ranked preferences. The Kruskal-Wallace and Mann-Whitney interpretations of group differences were used to identify statistically significant variations in group responses. The Macintosh programs, EXCEL and STATVIEW 512+ were used to manage the survey data. The ASK model classification system, derived from the relevant literature, was created to identify and compare training categories of awareness, skills and knowledge emphases in the courses visited. Selected findings: (1) Two major ideologies were evident; training based on a strong general knowledge curriculum and training based on awareness and cultural contact. (2) There appeared to be a steady, sequential, slow movement from knowledge-only training through awareness opportunities toward skill-oriented cultural experiences. (3) There was little demand for ethnically diverse instructors, (although 9 of 11 instructors who participated represented groups other then Anglo) and great demand for ethnically diverse presenters. (4) There was agreement about the importance and training opportunities currently provided (more then 50% of the responses), Indicating general satisfaction with current training. (5) A pattern of responses emerged that indicated those who received the least diverse training and had the least cultural contact perceived themselves to be the most adequately trained and indicated little awareness of cultural concerns. (6) Conversely, those with the most diverse training, the most cultural contact and who indicated the greatest cultural concern, wanted even more training. (7) The multicultural course was perceived to be a very important part of counselor training. (8) The skills development component of training was provided at a minimal level in the multicultural training course.

This study explores how hosting an international exchange youth influences families. Participants in the study took part in a four-week summer exchange by hosting a middle school aged Japanese youth through the Kentucky 4-H/Labo program. Labo is a Japanese club program that encourages youth to learn about American culture through international travel. As society becomes more globalized, the skills and abilities associated with international travel are increasingly important (Anderson, Lawton, Rexeisen & Hubbard, 2006). Hosting international youth through exchange programs is one method of developing these skills and abilities. This qualitative study uses thematic analysis to analyze three primary data sources. These were in-depth, semi-structured interviews (n = 20), program evaluation, and lifeline interview methodology graphs. This study explored the gap left by prior research by being concerned with families who have hosted an exchange youth for a short period of time. Previous research has focused on long-term exchanges, individuals and Americans traveling abroad. From this analysis, seven major themes were identified. These include (a) challenges of communication, (b) anxiety of program participants, (c) belief in a privileged experience, (d) personal growth, (e) familial relationship development, (f) feelings of loss upon departure, and (g) increased appreciation of home and foreign cultures. Two outlying themes of (a) father made a surprising contribution to hosting the exchange youth and (b) idealization of Japan were included for the additional context of understanding they provided. These findings offer insights into the efficacy of these programs as well as how they benefit the family. The findings, implications for program managers and potential areas for future research are discussed.

O ambiente marinho muitas vezes é negligenciado nas discussões ambientais devido ao aparente distanciamento entre esse e nosso cotidiano, tendo sofrido um acentuado processo de transformação e degradação. Assim, fica evidente a necessidade de atividades de Educação Ambiental que abordem tal ambiente. A Exposição interativa Mergulho Fora d\'Água (MFA) insere-se nesse contexto. O presente trabalho visa contribuir para a ampliação do conhecimento sobre concepções de estudantes do Ensino Fundamental acerca do ambiente marinho, bem como para a avaliação e aprimoramento da exposição interativa MFA. A pesquisa apresenta como objetivos específicos investigar concepções iniciais e verificar se e como a atividade MFA influência tais concepções dos alunos do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola da cidade de São Paulo sobre: (1) meio ambiente; (2) ambiente marinho, sua conservação e relação com o cotidiano desses alunos. Para isso, foram aplicados questionários estruturados compostos por questões fechadas e abertas, antes e após os estudantes participarem da exposição MFA. Para a análise dos dados, as respostas de questões abertas foram submetidas a um processo de categorização aberta e as categorias foram comparadas por meio de quantificações simples (cálculo de médias de ocorrência). Respostas provenientes de questões fechadas foram diretamente quantificadas e comparadas. Os dados foram coletados em turmas de sétimo, oitavo e nono ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma Escola Estadual da Cidade de São Paulo, localizada nas proximidades da USP. Um total de 476 estudantes participou da pesquisa. Nossos resultados evidenciaram que os estudantes sujeitos da pesquisa podem apresentar diversas concepções de meio ambiente, aplicando-as dependendo das várias situações as quais são expostos. Por exemplo, como concepções iniciais, ao pensarem no meio ambiente em geral, foram predominantemente Naturalistas e excluíram o homem do meio ambiente. Já quando pensam no ambiente marinho propriamente dito, justificam a necessidade de sua conservação também com base em concepções Naturalistas, mas estabelecem relação entre tal ambiente e seu cotidiano com base em uma concepção Antropocêntrica, justificada principalmente por uso de substâncias e alimentos derivados do mar. Vale ainda ressaltar que uma porcentagem bastante reduzida dos estudantes (20%) conseguiu estabelecer tal relação ambiente marinho-cotidiano. A principal palavra associada a esse ambiente foi “curiosidade” e, ao serem questionados sobre organismos marinhos, os cordados foram os mais citados (baleias, peixes e tubarões). Apesar da persistência de muitas dessas concepções iniciais, pudemos verificar algumas mudanças após a realização da exposição MFA, como uma maior inclusão do homem como elemento do meio ambiente. Além disso, concepções Antropocêntricas e Problema de meio ambiente sofreram redução. Quanto às concepções sobre ambiente marinho, a porcentagem absoluta de estudantes que conseguiu estabelecer a relação desse ambiente com seu cotidiano aumentando discretamente (para 30%). Quanto às palavras associadas ao ambiente marinho, “curiosidade” aumentou para estudantes de todos os anos. Já para os mais jovens alguns aspectos negativos também sofreram aumento (como poluição, doença e medo). No caso do nono ano, a situação foi diferente, ocorrendo maior citação de aspectos positivos, como beleza e diversão. Para todos os anos escolares, as citações de animais não cordados (ex. estrelas e ouriços), vegetais (algas) e plâncton foram maiores e organismos não marinhos (ex. girinos) foram menos citados. Nossa percepção geral é que a exposição MFA alcançou objetivos mais efetivos para os alunos de nono ano. Pautamos essa percepção em dados como o aumento de interesse após a exposição por parte dos alunos e do aumento da associação do ambiente marinho à beleza e diversão, além de curiosidade. Assim, o presente trabalho representou um esforço inicial para a melhor compreensão sobre as concepções de meio ambiente e, especialmente sobre o ambiente marinho. Esperamos que os dados obtidos possam ser subsídios para a avaliação à atividade MFA por parte de seus idealizadores em um processo continua de aprimoramento / The marine environment is often neglected in environmental discussions due to the apparent detachment between this and our daily lives, having undergone a marked transformation and degradation processes. Based on this, it is evident the need for environmental education activities about this environment. The interactive exhibition Out of Water Diving (OWD) is inserted in this context. The present work aims to contribute to the expansion of knowledge about the concepts of elementary school students about the marine environment, as well as for the evaluation and improvement of the interactive exhibition OWD. The specific objectives are to investigate the initial conceptions and check whether and how the OWD activity influence conceptions of students from a São Paulo school about: (1) the environment, (2) marine environment, its conservation and relation with the daily lives of students. We used structured questionnaires consisting of open and closed questions, before and after OWD exhibition. For data analysis, responses to open questions were subjected to a process of open categorization and categories were compared. Answers from closed questions were directly quantified and compared. Data were collected in classes of seventh, eighth and ninth year of elementary school in a public School of São Paulo city, located near at USP. A total of 476 students participated in the survey. Our results showed that students may have different environment conceptions, applying them depending on various situations which are exposed. For example, as initial conceptions about the environment, the students showed predominantly Naturalist concepts and excluded the man of environment. However, when they think about marine environment, they justify the need for its conservation also based on conceptions Naturalists, but establish relationship between such an environment and their daily based on an anthropocentric concepts, mainly explained by substance use and food derived from the sea. In addition, a small percentage of students (20 %) was able to establish a relation between marine environment and everyday life. The key word associated with this environment was “curiosity”, and when questioned about marine organisms, the chordates were the most frequent cited (whales , fishes and sharks ). Despite the persistence of many of these initial conceptions, we could detect some changes after the exposure OWD, as an increase on inclusion of man as an element of the environment. In addition, Anthropocentric and Problem concepts of environmental were reduced. Regarding conceptions of the marine environment, the absolute percentage of students who were able to establish the relationship of this environment with their everyday life slightly increasing (to 30 %). About the words associated with the marine environment, “ curiosity” increased for students of all years. However, for the youngest students, some negative aspects also increase (pollution, disease and fear). For the ninth year, the situation was different, occurring most citations of positive aspects, such as beauty and fun. For all school years, the citations of animals not chordates (eg. stars and sea urchins), vegetables (seaweed) and plankton were higher and non-marine organisms (eg, tadpoles) were lower cited. Our general perception is that OWD exposure achieved goals more effective for students of ninth year. We base this perception on data such as the increase after exposure of interest by students and increased of the association among marine environment and beauty and fun, as well as curiosity. Thus, this study represented an initial effort to better understanding of environment concepts as well as marine environment concepts. We hope that the data can be subsidy for the evaluation OWD exposition by its creators in a continuous improvement process
