A pesquisa mostra o ensino da educação em saúde (ES) na formação do enfermeiro. Objetivos: identificar a concepção dos estudantes de Enfermagem sobre ES e Identificar e analisar as ações educativas realizadas pelos estudantes de Enfermagem no processo de cuidar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa. Foram entrevistados, após aprovação do Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa e autorização da Instituição, 15 estudantes cursando o estágio curricular de Enfermagem. Feita a análise temática dos dados, que foram discutidos à luz do referencial da ES. Emergiram das entrevistas: o conceito de ES; as concepções a respeito de ser agente educador e desenvolver a prática da ação educativa; as disciplinas que abordam a ES e as situações vivenciadas em que ações educativas foram implementadas. A ES é concebida como transmissão de Conhecimento, desenvolvimento do autocuidado e ação transformadora. O conhecimento transmitido é técnico-científico, o foco das ações é curativo e voltado à ideia de prevenção de complicações de patologias. Há concepções que avançam no sentido de emergir no conceito de ES a dimensão de uma ação transformadora, voltada à resolução de problemas e modificações na realidade de saúde. Ser agente educador significa ser capaz de transmitir o conhecimento de forma clara e objetiva. Na prática da ação educativa, a aprendizagem de conhecimentos técnico-científicos e do raciocínio clínico e o desenvolvimento de habilidades e atitudes são expressos por características de ordem pessoal, relacional e instrumental. A pesquisa abre perspectivas para modificar o ensino da ES voltado não somente à prevenção de doenças e manutenção da saúde, mas para ações de promoção da saúde. / The research shows the teaching education\'s health (HE)in the nursing development. Objective: identify the nursing student\'s conceptions in the HE and identify and analyze the educative actions performed by the nursing students in the process of taking people\'s care. This is about a qualitative research.They were interviewed After the approval of the ethics committee and researches,and the institution\'s authorization,15 curricular s nursing students\' trainee. When was done the thematics analyze of the data that was discussed in the reference subject of HE, it was shown from the interviews: The HE concept; the conceptions of being educating agent and develop the practice of educative action, the disciplines that are connected with HE and the situation that were experienced that educative actions were implemented. The HE is known as a knowledge transmission, development of self care and the transformative actions. The knowledge is being passed by technical-scientific, the actions focus is on cure and everything turns to the preventions idea of not having pathologys complications. There are conceptions that goes focused in the conceit of HE, the dimension of the transformations actions, getting into the conceit of solving the problems and the modification of healths reality. Being an educating agent means being able to transmit the knowledge in a clear and objective way. In the educations practice, the knowledge of technical-scientific, the clinical reasoning , the developments abilities and the attitudes are express for the characteristics of personal order relational and instrumental. The research opens the perspectives to modify the learning of HE focused not only to the prevention of diseases and keeping the health in order, but to actions on healths promotion development.

This article examines the work of Highlander Research and Education Center, as founded by Myles Horton and others, implemented by staff, and experienced by program participants. Interviews with 8 program participant adult educators and community leaders illustrate Highlander's educational principles and practices, which are briefly compared with transformative educational principles and practices subsequently identified by Freire, with whom Horton ultimately met and compared notes; Mezirow, who later popularized a theory of transformative learning; and others.

This study was originally undertaken to change and improve the way I do my practice at Walter Sisulu University as a Research Associate whose responsibility is to facilitate research capacity development and research excellence within the University, amongst academics and postgraduate students. The success of the Research Resource Centre that I manage depends on the way I promote research culture and research productivity amongst academics and postgraduate students. According to Leedy and Ormrod (2013, p. 2), research is a systematic process that is used to collect, analyse, and interpret data in order to increase my understanding of the phenomenon about interest and concern about a given/identified phenomenon. In this case my own practice changed and improved for the better. The main objective of this study, therefore, was to examine the reasons behind the decline in research productivity in terms of research output and how this could be reversed through action research study intervention in order to enhance research productivity at Walter Sisulu University (WSU). The Department of Higher Education and Training’s (DHET) allocation of research output units for WSU indicated that there was a decline in research output from 2005 to 2010. The extent to which my practice improvement could contribute towards changing or improving research productivity was a question which this study addressed through a quantitative, qualitative and self-reflective action research cyclic inquiry. I organized sample strategies of this study as follows: For quantitative data, I used 120 lecturers as my respondents through questionnaires (females = 47 and males = 73) who were randomly selected; For qualitative data, I used 24 lecturers as respondents who were randomly selected with whom I conducted interviews; and For self-reflective action research cyclic inquiry I used 7 Transformative Education/al Studies (TES) project group members as my focus group. My research findings concluded that the heavy teaching workload at WSU was problematic and lecturers/academics could not devote time to do research. My recommendation is that research should be made compulsory so that academics become aware that at least one or two published articles are required from them, for the benefit of annual university research productivity. Some research participants also recommended that the Research Resource Centre must include programs that focus directly on active participation in research in order to increase the capacity of individual researchers so as to build a critical mass of competent researchers, perhaps by even including incentives as a reward for doing research. According to Koshy (2010), action research is a specific method of conducting research by professionals and practitioners with the ultimate aim of improving practice. My new knowledge, therefore, in respect of how a concerned Research Associate, from a Historically Disadvantaged Institution (HDI), provided the impetus to create a collaborative practice in a higher education institution which was forced to merge with two former technikons (which lacked understanding of what a university means by research productivity and research output). I consequently developed the Nkosinathi Sotshangane’s cyclic practice improvement model through self-reflective action research, from which I believed other research practitioners could learn by doing something similar in their own context.

No. of bitstreams: 1 RONALDO ROSA DOS SANTOS JUNIOR.pdf: 2031911 bytes, checksum: 8113efbb06fee67688b9b346bcb2b902 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-08-31 / This work, entered in the Line of Research Education, Society and Culture, proposed hold a political balance of the 10 years the State Law of number 14.832 of 12 July 2004, historical experience at the State University of Goiás, focusing on racial quotas, comprising as affirmative action, therefore strategy of democratization policies of access to public higher education. The process bureaucratic / legislative allowed the legal procedures, initials, of the initiative proposed of the State Representative Luis César Bueno, vetoed by Governor Marconi Perillo Júnior, later presenting a new project decision, approved and sanctioned. Was approached learn the plots of political clashes dissension and consensus. The memories of the rite of passage of Law n. 14,832 covers the testimonies of state representatives, the meetings held in the Legislative Assembly, with the participation of the Department of Science and Technology (Sectec), the State University of Goiás (UEG) and civil society. This law expresses a commitment to certain social agents historically excluded from access to public higher education, which are: the students coming from public schools, blacks and Afro-descendants, indigenous and disabled people. The first generation of creation and implementation of the quota policies's entrance in higher education, besides to the University of Brasilia (UNB), State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), is part of the experience of State of Goias state in a certain Brazilian political context, the beginning of the new XXI century. Therefore, the historical experience of 10 years of effectiveness of this policy at the State University of Goiás 2005-2015, was considered as the object of this thesis with the general objective to make a critical assessment, and highlighting the academic performance of black and African descent. It was prioritized as indicators of this assessment: a) Impacts Academics - theoretical production, measured by the amount of scientific work in the field of education dedicated to the Affirmative Action policies and Quotas in Brazil and Goiás in the period 2004-2015. Sources: Bank of Theses and Dissertations of CAPES, Public Domain, Network Affirmative Action (AA), Digital Repository of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (LUME), Bank of Theses and Dissertations of the University of São Paulo (USP), Virtual Library the Federal University of Goiás (UFG); b) Political Impacts expressed by narratives of UNEGRO, Coordination of Human Rights of the UEG and teachers; c) Impacts Political-Pedagogic expressed by statistics demands, vacancies, income and graduation, focusing on racial quotas. The main findings point to the reduced theoretical production on the investigated object; the black movement - UNEGRO has seizure of UEG quota policy; This policy is not shared with teachers therefore restricted to direction of UEG, Selection and Coordination of Human Rights; the percentage of students black quota holders who complete graduation is almost equal to the number of dropouts and absenteeism; the lack of disclosure among teachers of UEG about quota policy promotes academic silencing and reinforces prejudice, stigmatizing the black shareholders students. / Este trabalho, inserido na Linha de Pesquisa Educação, Sociedade e Cultura, propôs realizar um balanço político dos 10 anos da Lei Estadual n.14.832, de 12 de julho de 2004, experiência histórica na Universidade Estadual de Goiás, com foco nas cotas raciais, compreendendo-as como ação afirmativa, portanto, estratégia das políticas de democratização do acesso ao ensino superior público. O processo burocrático/legislativo permitiu revelar os tramites legais, iniciais, da proposta de iniciativa do deputado estadual Luis César Bueno, vetada pelo governador Marconi Ferreira Perillo Júnior, posteriormente apresentando um novo projeto tramitado, aprovado e sancionado. Procurou-se apreender nas tramas dos embates políticos os dissensos e consensos. As memórias do rito de aprovação da Lei n. 14.832 abrangem os depoimentos dos deputados estaduais, as sessões realizadas na Assembleia Legislativa, a participação da Secretaria de Ciência e Tecnologia (SECTEC), a Universidade Estadual de Goiás (UEG) e a sociedade civil. Esta Lei expressa um compromisso para com determinados agentes sociais historicamente excluídos do acesso à educação superior pública, quais sejam: os alunos egressos de escola pública, negros e afrodescendentes, indígenas e deficientes. Na primeira geração de criação e implantação das políticas de cotas para ingresso na educação superior, além da Universidade de Brasília (UnB), Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), insere-se a experiência de Goiás num determinado contexto político brasileiro, os primórdios do novo século XXI. Portanto, a experiência histórica de 10 anos de efetividade desta política na Universidade Estadual de Goiás (2005-2015) foi considerada como objeto desta tese, fazer um balanço crítico, destacando-se o desempenho acadêmico dos cotistas negros e afrodescendentes. Priorizou-se como indicadores desta avaliação: a) Impactos Acadêmicos – produção teórica, mensurados pela quantidade de trabalhos científicos da área de educação dedicados às políticas de ações afirmativas e cotas no Brasil e em Goiás no período 2004-2015. Fontes: Banco de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES, Domínio Público, Rede Ação Afirmativa (AA), Repositório Digital da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (LUME), Banco de Teses e Dissertações da Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Biblioteca Virtual da Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG); b) Impactos Políticos expressos pelas narrativas da União de Negros Pela Igualdade (UNEGRO), da Coordenação de Direitos Humanos da UEG e professores/as; c) Impactos Político-Pedagógicos expressos pelas estatísticas de demandas, vagas, ingressos e diplomação, com foco nas cotas raciais. As principais conclusões apontam para a reduzida produção teórica sobre o objeto investigado; o movimento negro (UNEGRO) não tem apoderamento da política de cotas da UEG. Essa política não é compartilhada com docentes, restringindo-se à Direção da UEG, ao Núcleo de Seleção e à Coordenação de Direitos Humanos; o percentual de estudantes cotistas negros que concluem a graduação é praticamente igual ao número de abandonos, desistências e jubilamentos; a falta de divulgação entre os docentes da UEG sobre a política de cotas promove o silenciamento acadêmico e reforça o preconceito, estigmatizando os estudantes cotistas negros.

I denna rapport vill vi lyfta fram de möjligheter och begränsningar som finns för att skapa nya engagerande läromiljöer genom att implementera ett mobilt lärospel i ett svenskt skolsammanhang. För att exemplifiera detta har vi i vårt projekt skapat ett mobilt lärospel kallat Agent O, som två högstadieskolor med ungdomar mellan 15-16 år gamla fått testspela. / This essay is a product of our bachelor of science in interactiondesign. Our focus in this project was to evaluate the mobile learning game from MIT and transform it so it would fit into Swedish schools and to redesign the interface from an interactiondesigners perspective and make it more goal-orientated for teenagers at the age of 13 to 16 years old. This resulted in the mobile learning game called Agent O. A learning game with the main purpose to evolve an interaction between the pupils and the pedagogical material through a handheld computer. Taking the learning procedure to a level where the learning part differs as when reading a textbook or solving a mathematic equation. Learning by doing may encourage the teenager to be active in the lecture in a progressive way.In this essay we present the theoretical basis by giving a background and context description of technology where it has been used as an educational complement. We will describe the limitations when designing an interface for mobile games, and look upon the possibilities for this kind of mobile learning game in Swedish schools. We have performed two main usertests at two schools in Malmö and the results of these tests are presented in the report.
