Women, poverty, and educational success : a critical exploration of low-income women's experience in community colleges

Barry, Kate R. 01 May 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to critically explore low-income women's experience as they negotiate post secondary education in community colleges. Three research questions explore the context through which low-income women have entered the college experience, what that experience is like for them, and how the community college experience has impacted their consciousness and view of their futures. This study has significance because poverty is a critical social issue for women, post secondary education is a route out of poverty yet social welfare policy does not support access to education, community colleges have traditionally provided access to education but supports for women have been diminished, and poor women's voices and their own definitions of educational access and success are missing from the public and academic debate of these issues. Past qualitative studies that focus on poor women's experience of college are smaller parts of quantitative studies. Other existing in depth studies have focused on obstacles, persistence, and support systems, or have been studies of special transitional programs formed specifically for welfare eligible women. There is little knowledge of women's experience and sense of self from their perspective as students who are also in poverty. This study uses the research technique of in depth unstructured interviews with eight welfare eligible women student parents in Oregon's Parents as Scholars Program. Six themes emerge from the narrative interviews with the participants that that have implications for educational practice and add to and expand the small body of qualitative work that has been done on the college experiences of low-income women students. / Graduation date: 2012

Expressions of modernity in rural Pakistan : searching for emic perspectives

Niazi, Amarah, 1981- 12 June 2012 (has links)
This dissertation examines women's lives in a rapidly urbanizing rural community in Southern Pakistan to understand their responses to modernity in developing societies. Applying a mixed-methods approach, socio-demographic data is collected and contrasted with oral history and personal narratives to analyze social change through women's access to education and reproductive health care in the village. The results are framed within a post-modern and post-colonial feminist anthropological discourse to reveal that Sheherpind represents a model of 'multiple modernities' where women's agency and progress could only be contextualized in non-western, local cultural perspectives. Emerging trends in the village are evaluated for their 'Applied' significance to underscore areas of local, national and transnational policy significance. / Graduation date: 2013

No. of bitstreams: 1 rosane.pdf: 60136 bytes, checksum: 264940dfb0a895bb985f9a0b0400097f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-02-12 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This research approaches an exploratory study, in the scope of History and Sociology of Education, aiming to investigate the Women Professional School in the context of the city of Florianópolis, in the period of 1935 to 1983. The concepts of habitus and reproduction were first presented by Pierre Bourdieu s Theory. A special theoretical background was also grounded upon Historians as Otaíza de Oliveira Romanelli, in the field of Brazilian Education History, and Zoraide Rocha de Freitas, in the field of the Professional Teaching History. Besides of the dialectic research method, which gave a general orientation for knowing and interacting with a delimitated social reality, the following approaches were also used: non-directive or semi structured interviews; statistical data collection (application/questionnaire); and documental data collection (transcript records) within public civil institutions and at the target school, and the participant observation. It was verified that this school was founded and operated as a cultural and social representation and reproduction of popular classes, as a result of the implantation of a dualist teaching system that reinforced class and gender inequality. Nevertheless, an incongruity was observed between the political discourse, the popular education implementation and this women professional school reality, when the attending population was verified to be also from higher classes as middle and elite. In this context, the experiences carried out were incorporated from work and a bourgeois women habitus- in which was characterized by a women raising aiming marriage and domestic homemaking, but that also interacted with private and public sectors, by doing self-employed work as dressmakers, embroiderers, and so on, in such a way allowing a socialization process and the social rising, besides of the maintenance of the women model. A comparative consideration was also established between the women professional school and the Superior school of Fashion, in such a way that there was an interface with fashion through the production and reproduction of clothing. Consequently, the history of education of Brazil was amplified, as it has been studied by many research centers throughout the years, promoting historical records of the education in the state of Santa Catarina. Further studies on this subject are important to follow, since it may open paths to study other women professional schools of the state in which were not investigated yet, and that preserve this state educational memory and built up historical knowledge / Esta pesquisa aborda um estudo exploratório, abrangendo as áreas da História e da Sociologia da Educação, com o objetivo de investigar a Escola Profissional Feminina, no contexto da cidade de Florianópolis, no período histórico de 1935 a 1983. Os conceitos de habitus e de reprodução foram apresentados a partir da teoria de Pierre Bourdieu. Buscou-se, também, especial suporte teórico nas historiadoras Otaíza de Oliveira Romanelli, na área de História da Educação no Brasil, e Zoraide Rocha de Freitas, na área de História do Ensino Profissional no Brasil. Além do método dialético de pesquisa utilizado que proporcionou a orientação geral para conhecer e interagir com a realidade social delimitada, foram utilizadas as seguintes técnicas: entrevistas não-diretivas ou semi-estruturadas, levantamento estatístico (aplicação/questionário) e documental (histórico) junto aos órgãos públicos e à própria escola em apreço e a observação participante. Verificou-se que esta escola surgiu e funcionou como representação e reprodução cultural e social de classes populares e como resultado da implantação de um sistema de ensino dualista, que veio a reforçar desigualdades de classe e de gênero. Constatou-se, porém, a contradição entre o discurso político da implantação da educação popular e a realidade na escola profissional feminina ao se verificar que o público freqüentador era formado também por membros da classe intermediária e da elite. As experiências realizadas neste contexto eram incorporadas de um habitus feminino burguês e de trabalho um modelo feminino que caracterizava uma formação feminina dirigida para o casamento e para as prendas domésticas, mas que também interagia no espaço privado e no espaço público, realizando trabalho autônomo como costureiras, bordadeiras, etc., possibilitando, desta forma, um processo de socialização e de ascensão social, além da manutenção do modelo feminino. Estabeleceu-se também uma reflexão comparativa entre a escola profissional feminina e a escola superior de moda, desta forma surgindo uma interface com a moda através da produção e reprodução do vestuário. Conseqüentemente, foi ampliada a história da educação brasileira, que vem sendo estudada em vários centros de pesquisas ao longo dos anos, promovendo o registro da história da educação catarinense, considerando-se importante a continuidade desta pesquisa, pois ela abre caminhos para estudar outras escolas profissionais femininas do Estado de Santa Catarina que não foram investigadas, preservando-se a memória educacional catarinense e construindo-se saber histórico

No. of bitstreams: 1 Laura.pdf: 5291976 bytes, checksum: abc6a97d53c823e6d5deb658b8001980 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-12-15 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This paper aims to try to recognize and analyse which ways of behaviour were presented by the speeches in significant spaces of the journal, such as stories, Right and Wrong in Little Things column, letter pages and advertisements of Querida magazines (1958-1968). It is looked to understand, still, which representations of a time these speeches, conveyed in the pages of the selected magazines, echoed. The fountains of this research are composed by 31 volumes of the Querida magazine with examples that represent the years between 1958 and 1968. The present research looks to present a little of the context in which the analysed magazine was inserted, trying to show a possible "place" for the Querida's reader, as well as the importance of the women magazines for this woman at this given place and historical moment. From this, the research privileges to show aspects of the magazine trajectory: its appearance, production, circulation, emphasizing the educative power of this type of press. It is also necessary to look for what the Querida magazine made circulate between his readers, and, that way, what imaginary and behaviors it contributed to create. To achieve this research there was a dialogue with the theoretical assumptions of Cultural Studies in Education and Cultural History, interfaced with gender discourses in printed media / Este trabalho tem como objetivo procurar reconhecer e analisar modos de comportamento que circulavam nos discursos presentes em espaços significativos do periódico, tais como contos, coluna Certo e Errado nas Pequenas Coisas, seções de cartas, e propagandas das Revistas Querida (1958-1968). Busca-se compreender, ainda, que representações de uma época estes discursos, veiculados nas páginas das revistas selecionadas, ecoaram. As fontes da pesquisa são compostas por 31 volumes da Revista Querida com exemplares que representam os anos compreendidos entre 1958 e 1968. A presente pesquisa busca apresentar um pouco do contexto em que o periódico analisado estava inserido, procurando evidenciar um possível ―lugar‖ da mulher leitora de Querida, bem como a importância das revistas femininas para esta mulher neste dado lugar e momento histórico. A partir disto privilegia-se fazer uma breve caracterização acerca da revista: surgimento, produção, editora, circulação, enfatizando o poder educativo deste tipo de impresso. Deste modo faz-se necessário buscar perceber o que a revista Querida fez circular entre suas leitoras e, assim, que imaginários e comportamentos contribuiu para criar. Para a consecução deste trabalho foi realizado um diálogo teórico com os pressupostos dos Estudos Culturais em Educação e da História Cultural, em interface com os discursos de gênero em mídia impressa

O gritante silêncio em uma nota de rodapé: gênero nas dissertações e teses sobre PROEJA no Estado do Paraná

Freitas, Lucas Bueno de 17 December 2014 (has links)
CAPES / O presente trabalho objetiva analisar o não dito sobre as questões relativas à gênero nas teses e dissertações produzidas pelo Grupo Interinstitucional Demandas e Potencialidades do PROEJA no Paraná. A metodologia utilizada para o desenvolvimento do estudo foi pesquisa analítica, do tipo bibliográfica, tendo dissertações e teses como objetos de análise. Em um primeiro momento apresentamos um apanhado teórico sobre questões de gênero, educação e trabalho, bases para a pesquisa. Posteriormente realizamos um breve estado da arte sobre EJA e, mais especificamente, PROEJA, entre os anos de 2006 e 2012 no Banco de Teses da Capes. A partir do resultado buscamos dentre esses trabalhos, dissertações e teses que abordem especificamente a temática de gênero. Em seguida realizamos este mesmo processo em âmbito estadual, mais especificamente em trabalhos produzidos no Grupo Interinstitucional Demandas e Potencialidades do PROEJA no Paraná, grupo criado a partir de edital para financiamento vinculado ao MEC/SETEC, foco escolhido para empreender nossa discussão. Após a leitura das 12 dissertações e uma tese selecionamos quatro temáticas comuns às pesquisas para discutirmos junto às teorias de gênero: (a) o ingresso de estudantes no PROEJA, (b) evasão, (c) corpo docente e (d) linguagem utilizada pela pesquisadora e por seus/suas entrevistados/as. Como resultado, apontamos uma grande demanda por pesquisas sobre gênero e EJA, pois na maioria das pesquisas as questões relacionadas à mulher é silenciada e/ou naturalizada, estereótipos construídos sócio-histórico-culturalmente pululam nas dissertações e teses, mas não há discussão ou valorização. / This work aims to analyze the not told about the issues of gender in theses and dissertations produced by the the Interinstitutional Group Demands and Possibilities of PROEJA in Paraná. The methodology used to develop the study was analytical research, bibliographical, and dissertations and theses as objects of analysis. At first we present a theoretical overview of gender issues, education and work, bases for the research. Subsequently we conducted a short state of the art about young and adult education and, more specifically, PROEJA, between the years 2006 and 2012 in the thesis database Capes. From the result we seek from these works, dissertations and theses that specifically address the gender issues. Then we perform the same process at the state level, specifically in works produced in the Interinstitutional Group Demands and Possibilities of PROEJA in Paraná, a group created from issuance to financing linked to the MEC/SETEC, focus chosen to undertake our discussion. After reading the 12 dissertations and the thesis, we selected four themes common in the searches to discuss the gender theories: (a) the admission of students in PROEJA, (b) avoidance, (c) teachers and (d) language used by the researcher and his/her interviewees. As a result, we point out a great demand for research on gender and young and adult education, because most of the researches, issues related to women is silenced and/or naturalized, stereotypes culturally constructed socio-historical-swarming in dissertations and theses, but there is no discussion or recovery.
