For this purpose qualitative methodologies are used: bibliographical research and documentary research of dissertations and theses, in order to identify the themes and the organizing agents that appears, more frequently, in the creation and maintenance of these experiences. Nationally, emerge with greater regularity as organizing agents of PVPs the black movements and student movements. However, at the most recent studies consulted the State also appears as organizer of preparatory courses. The text is grounded on the idea that PVPs need to be analyzed due to the surpluses of the entrance exam and the tension between an inclusion-exclusion relation of universities. In this way, we try to analyze these courses in function of the social contradictions and inclusions that the courses propose to realize. It is pointed that there is a structural limit in the proposal of these courses because the possibilities of inclusion are subordinated to the shortage of vacancies in higher education. It is concluded that with the State as a new organizing agent, and if it is compared to the experiences of the black and student movements, occurs a reconfiguration of popular pre entrance exam in form and content. / A pesquisa ―Pré-Vestibulares Populares: estratégia de acesso dos excedentes à educação superior‖, desenvolvida na Linha de Pesquisa Educação, Trabalho e Movimentos Sociais, no PPGE/FE/UFG, objetiva investigar a emergência, constituição e reconfiguração dos cursos preparatórios populares de acesso ao ensino superior. Para tanto, empregam-se metodologias qualitativas: pesquisa bibliográfica e pesquisa documental de dissertações e teses, a fim de identificar as temáticas e os agentes organizadores que aparecem, com maior frequência, na criação e manutenção destas experiências. Nacionalmente, emergem com maior regularidade como agentes organizadores dos PVPs os movimentos negros e os movimentos estudantis. No entanto, nos estudos consultados mais recentes o Estado também aparece como organizador de cursos preparatórios. O estudo fundamenta-se na ideia de que os PVPs necessitam ser analisados em função dos excedentes dos vestibulares e da tensão entre a relação inclusão-exclusão das universidades. Deste modo, procura-se analisar tais cursos em função das contradições sociais e das inclusões que esses cursos se propõem a realizar. Aponta-se que há um limite estrutural na proposta destes cursos, pois as possibilidades de inclusão estão subordinadas à escassez de vagas na educação superior. Conclui-se que com o Estado como novo agente organizador, e se comparado às experiências dos movimentos negros e estudantis, ocorre uma reconfiguração dos Pré-Vestibulares Populares em forma e conteúdo.

O Brasil viveu, nas últimas décadas, um crescimento exponencial no ensino superior, aumentando-se o número de instituições, cursos, vagas e matrículas. No entanto, mesmo com essa expansão, o acesso à universidade ainda é restrito a poucos, principalmente nas universidades públicas. As universidades utilizam processos de seleção para ingresso, com o objetivo de escolher os candidatos mais aptos, para que, assim, aumentem as chances de sucesso no ensino superior. Nesse sentido, este trabalho buscou analisar a relação entre o desempenho no vestibular e o rendimento acadêmico dos alunos de uma universidade pública paulista, sendo que o desempenho no vestibular foi medido pela pontuação final do aluno para ingresso na universidade e o rendimento acadêmico, pela média geral do aluno concluinte nas carreiras selecionadas. Esse objetivo foi atingido por meio de uma pesquisa quantitativa utilizando dados de 6055 alunos ingressantes nos anos de 2005, 2006 e 2007, em 12 carreiras das áreas de Ciências Exatas e Tecnológicas, Ciências Biológicas e Humanidades. Os dados iniciais demonstraram que a média de idade dos alunos ingressantes é de 20 anos, sendo a maioria homens (64,3%), solteiros (96,5%), com renda familiar acima de R$ 3.000,00 (59,3%), cujos pais e mães, em sua maioria, têm ensino superior completo, e ensino fundamental e ensino médio cursados em escolas particulares. Do total de alunos ingressantes no período de análise, 4237 concluíram o curso superior até o momento da análise dos dados; assim, utilizando-se os dados dos alunos concluintes, foram elaborados 4 modelos de regressão, um modelo geral e um para cada área de carreira, ou seja, Ciências Exatas e Tecnológicas, Ciências Biológicas e Humanidades. Concluiu-se que o desempenho no vestibular se relaciona positivamente com o rendimento acadêmico, independentemente da área da carreira, ou seja, melhores desempenhos no vestibular estão associados a melhores rendimentos acadêmicos no curso superior. Além disso, o gênero, a cor, a quantidade de bens, o tipo de ensino fundamental e médio cursado pelo aluno, a quantidade de vestibulares e a nota de corte para ingresso nas carreiras ajudam a explicar o rendimento acadêmico dos alunos concluintes na universidade pesquisada. / Brazil has experienced, in the past decades, an exponential growth in higher education, with increasing number of institutions, courses, vacancies and enrollment. However, even with such an expansion, college access is still restricted to a few, especially in public universities. Universities use selection processes for entrance in order to choose the most suitable candidates, so thus the chances of success in higher education increase. In this sense, this work was to examine the relationship between performance in the university entrance exam and academic achievement of students of a public university; the performance in the entrance exam was measured by the final score of the student for entrance into the university and academic achievement, the overall average of students who finish the course in their selected careers. This goal was achieved by means of a quantitative study using data from 6055 entering students in 2005, 2006 and 2007, in 12 career areas of Exact and Technological Sciences, Biological Sciences and Humanities. Initial data showed that the average age of entering students is 20 years, most of which were men (64.3%), single (96.5%), with family income up to $ 3,000.00 (59.3%), whose parents, mostly, went to higher education, and elementary and secondary education attended in private schools. From the total students entering the period of analysis, 4237 had university course until the time of data analysis; so, using the data of the graduating students, 4 regression models, one general model and one for each career area were prepared, that is, Exact and Technological Sciences, Biological Sciences and Humanities. It was concluded that the performance in the entrance exam is positively related to academic performance, regardless of career field, that is, better performance in the entrance exam is associated with better academic performance in college. In addition, gender, color, quantity of goods, the type of middle and high school attended by the student, the amount of entrance exams and the cutoff for entrance into careers help explain the academic performance of the graduates from the searched university.

Orientador: Paula Tavares Pinto / Resumo: Tendo como base teórico-metodológica o ensino de língua inglesa (LI) para fins específicos (IFE) (DUDLEY-EVANS; ST. JOHN, 1998) em associação com a Linguística de Corpus (LC) (BERBER SARDINHA, 2004, 2009; O’KEEFFE, MCCARTHY, CARTER, 2007; VIANA, TAGNIN, 2011), o objetivo do presente trabalho é avaliar a aplicabilidade do levantamento de agrupamentos lexicais para o desenvolvimento de atividades de compreensão de escrita em LI a fim de contribuir para a identificação vocabular de notícias da atualidade. Para isso, foram compilados quatro corpora de textos jornalísticos autênticos com temática saúde, tecnologia, política e mundo, advindos dos sites CNN® e BBC® (coleta em 2018) com o intuito de desenvolver atividades voltadas para o vestibular da UNESP (Universidade Estadual Paulista). Por meio do software Sketch Engine® foram extraídas as palavras-chave mais frequentes de cada corpus e, concomitantemente, os agrupamentos lexicais dessas palavras para posterior desenvolvimento das atividades, de modo que os exercícios tenham como base as combinações lexicais mais frequentes das notícias compiladas. Em função disso, foi possível verificar que quando o conteúdo do corpus está em consonância com o objetivo dos alunos, é possível extrair informações relevantes para o desenvolvimento de materiais úteis para a sala de aula. Assim, os textos jornalísticos foram muito importantes para os exercícios elaborados por meio dos corpora, visto que esse gênero textual é constante nos vestibular...

JOHN, 1998) along with the use of Corpus Linguistics (CL) BERBER SARDINHA, 2004, 2009; O'KEEFFE, MCCARTHY, CARTER, 2007; VIANA, TAGNIN, 2011), the aim of this research is to evaluate the applicability of lexical bundles for the development of reading comprehension activities in English in order to contribute to the lexical comprehension of current news. To this end, four corpora of authentic journalistic texts on health, technology, politics and world, from the CNN® and BBC® websites, were compiled (collected in 2018) in order to develop activities aimed at the entrance exam of UNESP (São Paulo State University). We extracted the most frequent keywords from each corpus with the aid of the Sketch Engine® software and, concomitantly, the lexical bundles originated from these words for further development of teaching activities, so that the exercises are based on the most frequent lexical combinations of the compiled news. As a result, it was possible to verify that when the content of the corpus is in line with the students' objective, it is possible to extract relevant information for the development of useful materials for the classroom. Thus, the journalistic texts were very important for the exercises elaborated through the corpora, since this textual genre is constant in the entrance exams applied to the students. The activities were administered to students of a ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo estudar a influência do sistema de verificação final de aprendizado sobre as práticas de ensino de Química no nível médio. Para tanto, identificamos e caracterizamos o nível de compreensão do conhecimento químico solicitado dos alunos egressos do ensino médio Brasileiro para seleção dos futuros universitários. Focamos nossas investigações sobre as questões das provas de Química da segunda fase dos concursos vestibulares da Universidade de São Paulo e da Universidade de Campinas, assim como nas provas de conhecimento específico para as carreiras das áreas de Ciências Biológicas e Ciências Exatas da Universidade Estadual Paulista e os relatórios de desempenho correspondentes, entre os anos de 1998 e 2008. O percurso metodológico desenvolvido analisa as questões em três eixos: (1) tema do ensino de química, que se utiliza da Proposta Curricular para o ensino de Química do estado de São Paulo de 1998; (2) processo cognitivo, que tem como referencia a Taxonomia de Bloom e (3) o desempenho médio dos candidatos nas questões das provas de Química. A triangulação dos dados evidenciou o caráter normativo, orientador e controlador destes exames sobre o sistema de ensino que os antecede. / This work aimed to study the influence of the system of final verification of learning on Chemistry teaching practices in high school. For that, we identified and characterized the level of chemical knowledge comprehension required from Brazilian students egress from high school for the selection of future undergraduates. We focused our investigations on the Chemistry questions of the second phase of the entrance tests from the University of São Paulo and the University of Campinas, as well as on the specific knowledge tests for careers in the field of Biological Sciences and Exact Sciences from the University of São Paulo State and the performance reports between the years of 1998 and 2008. Our methodological route follows the questions in three axes: (1) Chemistry teaching theme, which uses the Curriculum Proposition for the Chemistry teaching from the state of São Paulo from 1998; (2) cognitive process, whose reference is Bloom\'s Taxonomy and (3) average performance of the candidates in the questions in the Chemistry tests. The triangulation of data made clear the normative, guiding and controlling character of these exams on the teaching system that precedes them.

Considerable research has been conducted regarding the usefulness of placement testing in community colleges. Many stuides show that using the COMPASS exam may lead to students' unsuccessful course completion. To better identify the factors that may result in reduced attrition, the relationship between attrition and placement testing was studied. Using Tinto's student retention model and employing qualitative methodology, this study explored the perceptions of students and faculty regarding whether COMPASS placement assessment predicted future student success in first year courses at a community college that reports higher rates of attrition when compared to other area community colleges. After completing interviews with the 10 students, 6 faculty, and 2 administrators, the data indicated that using the COMPASS placement scores did not contribute greatly to attrition. Rather, the findings from the data analysis revealed that work ethic, family obligations, and test stress factored greatly in first-year student attrition. As a possible solution, 3 retention programs identified at comparable institutions address the findings of this study: An Alternative Learning Program, a Summer Bridge Program, and use of peer mentoring. In other sites, use of these retention programs have resulted in a 15% reduction in first-year student attrition. Reducing first year student attrition provides implications for social change. By adopting these retention initiatives, the community college in this study may improve overall first-year student retention, increased funding for the college, and better serve the local community.

This doctoral thesis is part of a line of research on the topic School Practices and Public Policies from the Program of Graduate Studies of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM). Its object of study is a reflection on the teaching of philosophy in a preparatory course for the entrance exam, which emerged from the dialogue between the readings in Michel Foucault and my teaching practice. The overall objective of this thesis is to discuss the limits and possibilities of teaching philosophy as a technologie of the self that is constituted as resistance to political governanment in a preparatory course for the entrance exam. The study analyzes, from a Foucauldian inspiration, the conditions for the emergence of the discourse about the importance of philosophy in the entrance exam to UFSM and its implications; the limits to problematize and the (im) possibilities to produce the teaching of philosophy in a preparatory course for the entrance exam; and it proposes that a governamentality technology may constitute a government technology itself that points to an ethical dimension founded in the care of life and truth. To confirm the thesis former students of the preparatory course for the entrance exam, enrolled in the first and second half of the years 2012 and 2013 in the discipline of Philosophy (the investigated universe consists of 855 students) were interviewed. Through the interviews we could confirm the thesis that teaching philosophy in a preparatory course for the entrance exam may be a space of resistance to this neoliberal governmentality in that it becomes a practice of the self. / A presente tese de doutorado insere-se na Linha de Pesquisa de Práticas Escolares e Políticas Públicas do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM). O objeto de estudo é uma reflexão sobre o ensino da Filosofia, em um curso preparatório para o vestibular, a qual surgiu do diálogo entre as leituras em Michel Foucault e a minha prática docente. O objetivo geral desta tese é problematizar os limites e as possibilidades de ensinar Filosofia como uma técnica de si que se constitua como resistência ao governamento político em um curso preparatório para o vestibular. No estudo, analisam-se, a partir de uma inspiração foucaultiana, as condições de emergência do discurso sobre a importância da Filosofia no vestibular da UFSM e suas implicações; problematizam-se os limites e as (im) possibilidades para produzir o ensino da Filosofia em um curso preparatório para o vestibular; e se propõe que uma tecnologia de governamentalidade pode se constituir numa tecnologia de governo de si que aponte para uma dimensão ética fundada no cuidado com a vida e com a verdade. Para confirmar a tese foram entrevistados ex-alunos do curso preparatório para o vestibular, matriculados no primeiro e segundo semestres dos anos de 2012 e 2013 na disciplina de Filosofia (o universo investigado é constituído por 855 alunos). Por meio das entrevistas pudemos confirmar a tese de que ensinar Filosofia em um curso preparatório para o vestibular pode se constituir em um espaço de resistência a esta governamentalidade neoliberal na medida em que se converte numa prática de si.

在評量學生的寫作能力時，通常採用直接測驗。然而，四技二專統一入學測驗英文專業考科卻採用間接測驗，來評量應用外語科學生的英文寫作能力。本研究旨在檢視專業考科之效力，並研究如何改進現行的考試方式。 為了達成該研究目的，119位應用外語科三年級學生參與本研究。本研究間接測驗試題採用四技二專統一入學測驗英文專業考科，直接測驗試題採用看圖寫作，以檢視專業考科與直接寫作成績之間的相關性。此外本研究使用問卷以調查學生對直接與間接寫作測驗的看法。 結果顯示，專業考科與看圖寫作之間呈現中度相關，表示該專業考科在某種程度上，能顯示出受試者的直接寫作能力。在四個大題中，段落組成及段落語意不連貫句子挑選與看圖寫作呈現中度相關，因此，這兩個大題較能顯示出受試者的直接寫作能力。 然而，問卷調查結果發現，受試者運用篇章結構的知識來完成間接測驗。但是，卻沒有運用相同的概念於直接測驗中。此種現象可能是因為傳統的寫作教學方式著重在文法分析及單字教學。因此，四技二專統一入學測驗的英文專業考科應同時施測直接與間接測驗，以期對英文寫作教學產生正面的回衝效應。 / Direct writing assessment is usually employed to evaluate students’ writing proficiency. However, the Technological and Vocational Education (TVE) Joint College Entrance Exam adopts indirect writing assessment to assess students from Department of Applied Foreign Languages (DAFL) in English Professional Subject (EPS). The purpose of the present paper is to examine the effectiveness of the EPS indirect writing test and how the current practice can be improved. For serving the purpose, a total of 119 third-year DAFL students participated in the study. The researcher uses indirect writing assessment, the EPS indirect writing test, and direct writing assessment, a picture writing task, as the testing instruments to examine the correlation between the two writing measures. Moreover, questionnaires are used to investigate the participants’ perceptions of the two writing tasks. Results indicated that the EPS multiple-choice writing test and the picture writing task exhibited a moderate correlation, suggesting the indirect test could, at least in part, serve as a good indication of the students’ writing competence in direct writing. Results also showed that sentence insertion (SI) and sentence deletion (SD), among the four subtests, moderately correlated with the direct writing task. The two subtests could thus be depended on as a better indication of the participants’ direct writing proficiency. Nevertheless, questionnaire findings displayed that the students applied discourse-level knowledge in the indirect test. Nonetheless, the same concept was not applied to the direct task probably because of the traditional teaching approach to English writing, focusing on grammar analysis and vocabulary teaching. Therefore, the two writing tasks should be combined in the entrance exam to produce positive washback effect on writing instruction.
