The idea is to promote a discussion that takes into consideration the individual experiences that enable viewing of the aspects that constitute the profession and fields of work. Who are these professionals? How do they see themselves? What do they think about their background? How do they realize themselves immersed in a constantly changing society? And, how are their performances represented? The motivation to the studying and developing of this research derived from the concern that aims to socialize performances and actions developed in this area and its collaboration in the current scenario. What paths to choose? How is the Educational Advising area according to its coverage, demand and offering aspects in the researched school unit? We intend, with this dissertation, to contribute to the characterization of the Guidance Counsellor performance in the perspective of his professionals. The text is divided into a set of the analyses of the expectations and living experiences of the Guidance Counsellor; in the investigation of the critical-reflection of his performance and its contribution in the school space. The narratives derived from encounters where stories were told. A qualitative research was made with a social-historical-cultural focus under a dialogic perspective, that counts on the ?meeting? as the methodology, having as methodological-theoretical reference the well known author Mikhail Bakhtin. / Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar narrativas de Orientadores Educacionais da Rede Municipal de Ensino da Cidade de S?o Jo?o de Meriti.

The aim of this research was to determine the factors that influence the participation of students from Sub-Saharan Africa at the undergraduate level of study in United States. A literature study was undertaken which defined the various aspects involved in pursuing undergraduate study in the United States as applied to international students at three types of institutions, namely: two-year community colleges, four year private colleges and four-year public colleges. Quantitative research was also undertaken, the results of which evolved from two surveys, one sent to a combined group of two-year, four-year private and public U.S. institutions and one sent out to Educational Advising Centers within Sub-Saharan Africa. The findings indicated that the primary constraints Sub-Saharan African students face are a lack of funding as well as an inability to access information. A comparison of the results of the two surveys was undertaken as well as recommendations for further research. / Educational Studies / M. Ed (Comparative Education)
