No. of bitstreams: 1 Alessandro De Almeida Vieira.pdf: 1389465 bytes, checksum: 20afe67b9ffeb8ace28c54df50377f5e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-05-12 / Year after year, the kind of market where universities function has been showing an increase in competition and creating specific needs of innovation in educational management area. Researches indicate that the educational management of the universities differs from the organizational management which is conceptualized and taught to their students. The elements considered to reach this conclusion are the administrative complexity of these institutions and the diversity of actors or stakeholders in the decision-making process. Signaling from national agencies for educational control and monitoring, including the Higher Education Personnel Improvement Coordination - CAPES, responsible for evaluating Brazilian post-graduation, indicates the need for monitoring the students of these programs. This fact indicates an opportunity for innovation and differentiation in the educational market, related to administrative matters, in addition to human material capturing issues. Within this context, this study aims at answering the question “How can project management contribute to the development of a students and graduates association, from a post-graduate studies program, based on stakeholder management?”. The main objective of the study is to present a plan to develop a students and graduates association from a post-graduate studies program, based on project management and using stakeholders management. It aims at assisting in the development and growth of the association, using both the tools and concepts of project management. To answer this question and achieve the main goal, an applied research was conducted. The research was of descriptive and explanatory nature, using qualitative approach and action-research methodology. The results identified who are the stakeholders of such an association, as well as the point of view of its managers. Results also showed the contribution of a proper project management to leverage the development of the association, bringing benefits which are extensible to the higher education institution it represents. / O mercado de atuação das universidades vem apresentando ano após ano, um aumento na concorrência, criando necessidades específicas de inovação nas áreas do gerenciamento educacional. Pesquisas apontam que o gerenciamento educacional das universidades difere do gerenciamento organizacional que as próprias universidades conceituam e ensinam aos seus alunos, considerando a complexidade administrativa destas instituições e a diversidade de atores, ou partes interessadas no processo decisório das mesmas. A sinalização dos órgãos nacionais de controle e acompanhamento educacional, entre eles a Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior – CAPES, responsável pela avaliação da pós-graduação no Brasil, indica a necessidade do acompanhamento de alunos e egressos dos programas de pós-graduação. Sendo assim, apresenta-se uma oportunidade de inovação e diferenciação, no mercado educacional, para as questões administrativas, além das questões de captação de material humano. Dentro deste contexto, o presente estudo busca responder a seguinte questão: Como a gestão de projetos pode auxiliar o desenvolvimento de uma associação de alunos e egressos em um programa de pós-graduação stricto sensu, baseado na gestão de stakeholders? O objetivo principal deste trabalho é apresentar um plano para o desenvolvimento de uma associação de alunos e egressos de um programa de pós-graduação stricto sensu, com base na gestão de projetos e utilizando a gestão de stakeholders, visando auxiliá-la em seu desenvolvimento e crescimento, utilizando para tanto, as ferramentas e os conceitos da gestão de projetos. Para responder à esta questão e alcançar o objetivo principal, foi realizada uma pesquisa aplicada, de abordagem qualitativa, natureza descritiva e explicativa e com método de condução por meio de uma pesquisa-ação. Os levantamentos realizados apresentaram uma visão sobre quem e quais são os stakeholders de uma associação de alunos e egressos, bem como as visões dos gestores desta associação e como uma adequada gestão deste projeto pode colaborar e potencializar tal associação, revertendo em benefícios extensíveis para a instituição de ensino superior que a mesma representa.

In Sweden, an egalitarian ethos has long rendered it impossible even to consider the needs of gifted and talented (G&T) children. By interviewing English and Swedish educators and Swedish governmental officials, I compare the developments in the two countries and make recommenda-tions as to how Sweden could improve its provision. Over the last ten years, following a House of Commons report in 1997, a number of measures have been implemented in England. In Sweden, some changes have taken place, notably the establishment of the focus classes [spetsutbildningar] in 2008. Although there is official support for G&T children and signs of changing attitudes in Sweden, there are still concerns about the general acceptance of G&T students' need for support and help. Their social situation is often difficult and they do not always get challenged. One recommendation is that Sweden, in line with many other countries, should investigate the option of setting a clear, national policy for gifted and talented children.

The summer of 2002 marked the 26th anniversary of the youth camp “Especially for Youth” (EFY). Over 34,000 teenagers from across the United States, Canada and several foreign countries gathered on thirty-one different college campuses to attend one of the sixty-four sessions of the five-day program. Since the first session in 1976, Especially for Youth has enjoyed steady increases in attendance and popularity. Beginning in the early 1980s, the program's success reached the point that applicants were turned away because there was not enough space to house all those who wanted to attend.EFY is sponsored by Brigham Young University (BYU) Division of Continuing Education. Programs within the Division with a religious emphasis fall under the direction of the Church Educational System (CES).This thesis is an attempt to gather basic, historically significant information about the first eleven years of Especially for Youth (1976-1986). Primary sources include Continuing Education administrators, former counselors and participants, and Division of Continuing Education Annual Reports.

Education and learning have ever been at the core of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Throughout its history that now extends nearly one hundred ninety years, the Church has made numerous attempts to provide educational opportunities for its members. Some attempts have failed, and others were met with some success—though limited, to be sure. In hindsight, most of these efforts were simply laying the foundation for something far greater. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, the groundwork for global Church education had been laid, and the seeds planted. Beginning with a pilot administered through BYU-Idaho, a program known as “Pathway” grew into a worldwide effort that is successfully providing educational opportunities to individuals distanced from such occasion. The Church-affiliated university also created a robust online program, that coupled with Pathway, was providing a largely affordable, yet high-quality education to Church members and even a few other individuals across the globe. Not without its barriers, Pathway and the BYU-Idaho online degree program worked to overcome legal and other limitations in order to create and expand a vigorous offering across cultures, time, and space. Recently, these programs have given root to what is now a global education initiative, collaborating a united effort from each institution affiliated with the Church Educational System.

<p>This project discusses a major issue in the educational system of the Province of Ontario in the 1980' s. With the full implementation of Bill 82 in September of 1985, school boards across the province will be forced once again to determine how the needs of children with handicapping conditions ought best be met. Should they be mainstreamed with their chronological peers in neighbourhood schools or should they attend special schools where all ancillary services are provided? The purpose of this paper is to examine this integration/segregation debate. The first two chapters provide the reader with a historical overview of the issue as well as with a description and critical analysis of the early efficacy studies that have been used as justification for the choice of one type of administrative arrangement over another. Chapter three outlines more contemporary arguments and research in support of the mainstreaming position. It also describes the philosophy, strategies and tec110iques of a local school board that has been mainstreaming children with handicapping conditions since the late 1960's. The final chapter outlines two evaluative techniques that can be used to asses the effectiveness of integration segregation as educational models. Further, a proposal for future research is described in which both of these evaluative techniques would be employed.</p> / Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT)

Ce travail se veut une réflexion sur l’usage de la langue française à l’école à Djibouti. Devant la surpopulation des classes et la baisse généralisée du niveau en français des élèves en début du primaire, il a fallu revoir la situation didactique du français en république de Djibouti pour améliorer le rendement du système éducatif djiboutien. Pour améliorer la maîtrise de la langue française au sein de l’école et ainsi contribuer à la réussite scolaire, il est apparu nécessaire de prendre en compte les langues nationales djiboutiennes, de transmettre les enseignements de base (du moins dans les premières années) à travers elles mais aussi de les enseigner en même temps que le français. Ainsi, l’apprenant, par un travail de va et vient métalinguistique (inconscient puis conscient), pourra comparer les deux langues, opérer des transferts positifs et prendre conscience et éviter les interférences avec la langue source dans l’apprentissage du français. L’élève bilingue réussira, non seulement, mieux dans l’apprentissage des contenus scolaires mais développera aussi des stratégies d’apprentissages des langues. / This brainwork is a reflection about using french language in schools in Djibouti. Faced with overcrowded classrooms and the general decline in the level of french language in early elementary school, it was necessary to review the condition of french teaching in the republic of Djibouti to improve the performance of the educational system. To improve mastery of French language in school and to contribute to success, it should be necessary to take into the djiboutians nationals languages. Through these it is more efficient to transmit the basic elementary curriculum (at least for the early year) without neglecting French language instruction. Thus, the learner, by working back and forth meta-linguistically (unconsciously and consciously), can compare the two languages, make positive transfer by cross-linguistic influence and avoid interference with the source language in learning french. The bilingual students perform better in classroom content and also develop strategies for learning languages.

The thesis is focused on the analysis of the Scottish education system in the context of community education. The thesis focuses on the analysis of the educational system in terms of structure and curriculum documents and analyzes the conception of community education. Great emphasis is placed on linking community education with the school. Work is supplemented with a content analysis of school - political and curricular documents that form the basic theoretical framework for practice. These documents are also an inspiration for the creation of similar documents in the Czech Republic. Conducted content analysis summarizes theoretical information and highlights the importance of community planning and cooperation in the community education. The results of this study allow to dissemination of the Czech comparative pedagogy and contribute to the debate on the conception of community education in the Czech Republic.

Autonomy of directors and teachers in the current Chinese educational system Mgr. Radana Wagenknechtová 2015 ABSTRACT This thesis looks at the Chinese educational system and the autonomy that directors and teachers share in the decision making process. It not only examines the educational system as a whole but analyses different levels of the educational system, puts an emphasis on the autonomy of teachers and directors in a school environment, and introduces various school reforms in China since 1976. Consequently, it clarifies the current Chinese educational system with an emphasis on various organizational levels along with the power they have in the decision making process and the options for creating change. Through the study of key documents of the Chinese educational system, political system, and other foreign literature, the legislative processes and documents that are responsible for the Chinese educational policies are made apparent. The thesis compares the official Chinese educational system's documents and processes with the actual situation. Based on this research, the thesis determines the real level of autonomy that directors and teachers possess in the decision making process.
