Clima organizacional de discentes e servidores de pós-graduação de uma instituição pública de ensino superior / Organizational climate of servers and teachers post graduation of a public institution higher educationMoro, Angélica Balconi 28 August 2013 (has links)
Evaluating the organizational climate is a tool that provides knowledge about the work environment with information that managers may use strategically to make sense of scenario changes. This allows them to apply corrective measures, especially for improving quality and productivity gains, thus ensuring the success in the evaluation process from CAPES. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify related factors to organizational climate that influence the workplace of students and employees of the Post-Graduate Program (PPGs) of a Public Institution of Higher Learning. For this purpose, we carried out a climate research by means of a questionnaire based on models of Rizzatti (2002) and Luz (2003) and adapted to the reality of each program that it was intended to investigate. The results obtained, through the perception of the academic public, validated a set of components and respective indicators to investigate the organizational climate for learners and teachers of PPGs studied. On the basis of the analysis carried out, we conclude that the academic community notices the organizational climate factors that influence the work environment similarly in different dimensions. Students, teachers and technical-administrators evaluate the workplace in a very satisfactory way, mainly in relation to the activity which play in programs, resulting commitment, hard work, and dedication in carrying out tasks. This provides motivated behavior, especially between students and teachers, where the chances of placing on the market, growth opportunities, and the curriculum represent a stimulus in this process, which otherwise generates competition between colleagues, especially between different groups within the PPGs. On the other hand, the relationship between colleagues of the same workgroup shows a climate of integration, cooperation, and friendship. However, related factors include interpersonal relationships between different groups of work, working conditions, financial support for research and events, and the quantity of hours of class. Additionally, disciplines and work overload and topics pertaining to managers negatively interfere in the workplace, compromising the establishment of an organizational climate. In this way, the aim of this study has been reached, to the extent that it has contributed information and useful research tools for effectively managing process PPGs. With this information, the managers may detect the possible causes and consequences of occurring problems, and may apply corrective measures, especially in improving the quality and academic productivity, which will contribute to the success in the process of program evaluation from CAPES. Also, this will help the development of studies by improving the various processes that make up not only the study programs of IES, but also others who wish to avail themselves of this research instrument. / A avaliação do clima organizacional surge como uma ferramenta que permite conhecer o ambiente de trabalho, fornecendo informações que os gestores poderão utilizar estrategicamente para dar sentido às mudanças de cenários, aplicando medidas corretivas, principalmente para a melhoria da qualidade e o aumento da produtividade, garantindo assim, o sucesso no processo de avaliação junto a CAPES. Logo, o objetivo desse estudo foi identificar os fatores relacionados ao clima organizacional que influenciam no ambiente de trabalho dos discentes e servidores de Programas de Pós-Graduação (PPGs) de uma Instituição Pública de Ensino Superior. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa de clima por meio de um questionário baseado nos modelos de Rizzatti (2002) e Luz (2003) e adaptado à realidade de cada programa e ao que se pretendia investigar. Com os resultados obtidos, por meio da percepção do público acadêmico, validou-se um conjunto de componentes e seus respectivos indicadores para investigação do clima organizacional de discentes e docentes dos PPGs estudados. Por meio das análises realizadas, conclui-se que a comunidade acadêmica percebe os fatores do clima organizacional que influenciam no ambiente trabalho de forma semelhante nas suas diferentes dimensões. Discentes, docentes e técnico-administrativos avaliam o local de trabalho de forma bastante satisfatória, principalmente em relação à atividade que desempenham nos programas, resultando comprometimento, empenho e dedicação na realização das tarefas, proporcionando um comportamento motivado, especialmente entre discentes e docentes, onde as chances de colocação no mercado, as oportunidades de crescimento e o currículo representam um estímulo neste processo que, entretanto, gera competitividade entre colegas, especialmente entre diferentes grupos dentro dos PPGs. Por outro lado, o relacionamento entre colegas de mesmo grupo de trabalho revela um clima de integração, cooperação e amizade. No entanto, fatores relacionados às relações interpessoais, entre diferentes grupos de trabalho, às condições de trabalho, o apoio financeiro para pesquisa e eventos, a quantidade de horas-aula e disciplinas e a sobrecarga de trabalho, além de aspectos relacionados aos gestores, interferem negativamente no ambiente de trabalho, prejudicando o estabelecimento de um clima organizacional favorável. Desta forma, o propósito deste estudo foi alcançado, na medida em que contribuiu com informações e instrumentos de pesquisa efetivamente úteis para o processo de gestão dos PPGs. De posse dessas informações os gestores poderão detectar as possíveis causas e consequências de problemas ocorridos, aplicando medidas corretivas, principalmente, na melhoria da qualidade e produtividade acadêmica e, por conseguinte, para o sucesso no processo de avaliação dos programas junto a CAPES. Além disso, contribuirá para o desenvolvimento de estudos que visem à melhoria dos diversos processos que compõem não apenas os programas da IES estudada, como as demais que desejarem se valer deste instrumento de pesquisa.

Les expériences d’adaptation d’étudiants internationaux en sciences infirmières aux cycles supérieurs dans un milieu universitaire francophone au Québec : perspectives d’étudiantsFarhat, Zouhour 11 1900 (has links)
Contexte : Les étudiants internationaux en sciences infirmières font face à plusieurs défis durant leurs expériences d’adaptation dans les universités. Leur adaptation est influencée par plusieurs facteurs facilitants et entravants et, pour s’adapter, plusieurs stratégies sont utilisées. Cette étude visait à décrire les expériences d’adaptation vécues par les étudiants internationaux en sciences infirmières aux cycles supérieurs dans un milieu universitaire francophone au Québec. Méthodes :
Une approche descriptive qualitative a été utilisée. Huit étudiants (hommes et femmes) internationaux inscrits à la maîtrise et au doctorat en sciences infirmières ont participé à des entrevues semi-structurées et les données ont été analysées de façon thématique.
Résultats : Sept thèmes ont été identifiés: 1) avant de venir/en arrivant au Canada; 2) les défis rencontrés (la langue, leur absence auprès de leur famille, problèmes financiers); 3) comparaison avec les étudiants québécois et doute de capacités; 4) les facteurs influençant l’adaptation, les stratégies utilisées pour s’adapter et l’adaptation progressive; 5) les aspects positifs de l’expérience d’adaptation; 6) influence de la pandémie mondiale de Covid-19 sur l’adaptation; et 7) les expériences avec les services de soutien universitaire, les recommandations et les conseils.
Conclusion : Les étudiants internationaux en sciences infirmières aux cycles supérieurs ont fait face à une accumulation de défis qui ont rendu leur processus adaptatif plus complexe, surtout pour les étudiants provenant des pays africains. Durant la première période, un sentiment d’être perdus et désorientés a été exprimé par la plupart des participants. Le choc lié à l’écart entre les attentes des participants et la réalité a entraîné une comparaison entre eux et les étudiants québécois, ce qui a engendré un doute de leurs capacités à réussir. La pandémie de Covid-19 a été décrite comme un défi additionnel et un facteur entravant leurs adaptations également. Plusieurs facteurs favorisants ont été mentionnés tels que l’automotivation/être proactif, avoir le temps pour s’adapter, et avoir un soutien plus étroit au niveau administratif et au niveau des enseignants/directeurs de recherche. L’expérience d’adaptation n’était pas toute négative, cette expérience a été décrite comme enrichissante par la plupart des participants. Ces résultats ont mis l’accent sur l’importance d’adopter une approche d’éducation inclusive dans les milieux universitaires francophones au Québec à travers une prise de conscience et sensibilisation des acteurs clés envers les situations et les contextes diversifiés des étudiants internationaux en sciences infirmières aux cycles supérieurs. / Background: International nursing students face several challenges during their adaptation to
university life. Their adaptation is influenced by several facilitating and hindering factors, and
different strategies may be used to help with adaptation. This study aimed to describe the adaptation
experiences of international graduate nursing students in French-speaking universities in Quebec.
Methods: A qualitative descriptive approach was used. Eight international nursing students (male
and female) enrolled in masters or doctoral studies participated in semi-structured interviews, and
data were thematically analyzed. Results: Seven themes were identified: 1) before coming / upon
arrival in Quebec; 2) the challenges encountered (language barriers, their absence from family,
financial problems); 3) comparison with Quebec students and doubting their abilities; 4) factors
influencing adaptation, coping strategies and adaptation over time; 5) the positive aspects of the
adaptation experience; 6) influence of the global Covid-19 pandemic on adaptation; and 7)
experiences with academic support services, referrals and advice. Conclusion: International
graduate nursing students faced an accumulation of challenges that made their adaptive process
more complex, especially for students from African countries. During the initial phase, a feeling
of being lost and disoriented was expressed by most of the participants. The shock associated with
the gap between participants' expectations and reality led to comparisons between themselves and
the Quebec students, which caused them to doubt their ability to succeed. The Covid-19 pandemic
was described as an additional challenge as well as a factor that hampered their adaptation. Several
enabling factors were mentioned such as self-motivation / being proactive, having time to adapt,
and having more direct support from the administration and professors/supervisors. The adaptation
experience was not all negative, most participants also felt their experience was enriching. Overall,
the results emphasize the importance of further raising the awareness of key stakeholders of the
diverse contexts and needs of international graduate nursing students so that a more inclusive
education approach may be adopted in French-speaking universities in Quebec.

Les stratégies et les facteurs facilitants pour l'intégration et la réussite des étudiants internationaux aux études supérieures : une revue intégrative des écritsBoubaker, Asma 06 1900 (has links)
Avec un nombre croissant d'étudiants internationaux à travers le monde, des facteurs facilitants leur intégration et des stratégies de succès doivent être explorés pour faire face aux défis auxquels cette population est confrontée. Plusieurs études antérieures ont évoqué ce sujet. Toutefois, malgré la pertinence des résultats de ces écrits scientifiques, il subsiste un manque de consensus en ce qui a trait aux solutions et stratégies facilitant l’intégration et la réussite des étudiants internationaux. Pour apporter pierre à cet édifice, cette étude vise à identifier les solutions et les stratégies envisageables pour faciliter l'intégration et la réussite des étudiants internationaux aux études supérieures dont ceux en sciences infirmières. Une revue intégrative selon l’approche de Whittemore et Knafl (2005) a été conçue en suivant les cinq étapes, à savoir ; 1) l’identification du problème; 2) la recension des écrits; 3) l’évaluation des données; 4) l’analyse des données; et 5) la présentation des résultats. Vingt-deux articles ont été retenus. L’analyse et l’interprétation des résultats ont été élaboré en s’appuyant sur le cadre théorique de 4 Systems de Schlossberg. Ainsi, quatre grands groupes de facteurs ont été émergés. Le premier groupe renvoie aux facteurs contextuels et aux ressources qui étaient en disposition en moment de la transition. Le deuxième groupe est associé aux caractéristiques personnelles telles que les traits de personnalité, entre autres, l’intelligence émotionnelle, la confiance en soi et les compétences linguistiques. Le troisième groupe évoque les différents types de soutien notamment, le soutien familial, le réseau d’amis et le mentorat. Le dernier groupe est en lien avec les stratégies d’adaptation pour assurer une meilleure transition des étudiants internationaux, notamment en lien avec la mise en place d’une pédagogie inclusive et d’autres stratégies pour réduire le stress. À la lumière des résultats de cette revue intégrative, des recommandations pour la recherche, les politiques universitaires et la formation académique ont été présentées en mettant de l’avant l’importance de créer des opportunités d'apprentissage inclusives et ouvertes, et ce, dans le but de mobiliser les parties intéressées à agir en faveur des étudiants internationaux. / With a growing number of international students worldwide, factors facilitating their integration and strategies for success need to be explored to meet the challenges faced by this population. Several previous studies have touched on this subject. However, despite the relevance of the results of these scientific writings, there remains a lack of consensus regarding solutions and strategies to facilitate the integration and success of international students. To contribute to this, this study aims to identify possible solutions and strategies to facilitate the integration and success of international students in higher education, including nursing. An integrative review based on Whittemore and Knafl's (2005) approach was designed, following five steps: 1) problem identification; 2) literature review; 3) data assessment; 4) data analysis; and 5) presentation of results. Twenty-two articles were selected. The analysis and interpretation of results were based on Schlossberg's 4 Systems theoretical framework. Four main groups of factors were identified. The first group refers to contextual factors and the resources available at the time of transition. The second group is associated with personal characteristics such as personality traits, including emotional intelligence, self-confidence, and language skills. The third group refers to different types of support, including family support, friends, and mentoring. The last group relates to coping strategies to ensure a better transition for international students, including the implementation of inclusive pedagogy and other strategies to reduce stress. Considering the results of this integrative review, recommendations for research, university policy and academic training were presented, highlighting the importance of creating inclusive and open learning opportunities, with the aim of mobilizing stakeholders to act on behalf of international students

Les expériences sociales et universitaires d’étudiants internationaux au Québec, le cas de l’Université de Montréal : comprendre leur persévérance aux étudesMaïnich, Sarah 05 1900 (has links)
Notre recherche a pour objet la persévérance aux études supérieures d’étudiants internationaux à l’Université de Montréal (UdeM) inscrits en programme de recherche (maîtrise et doctorat). L’objectif général de cette étude est d’explorer leurs conditions de vie et d’études afin de tendre vers une compréhension approfondie leur persévérance à l’UdeM. Constatant l’augmentation des migrations étudiantes, nous avons choisi de nous intéresser aux expériences sociales et universitaires d’étudiants internationaux. Des étudiants en mobilité internationale arrivent dans un pays et une université qu’ils ne connaissent pas ou peu et dans une nouvelle ville et une nouvelle culture qui leur sont souvent étrangères. Toutefois, nous ignorons beaucoup des conditions de vie et d’études des étudiants internationaux aux cycles supérieurs alors qu’ils jouent un rôle clé au chapitre des performances économique et scientifique des pays et institutions qui les accueillent. Dès lors, nous voulons comprendre comment des étudiants internationaux inscrits en programmes de recherche (maîtrise et doctorat) persévèrent à l’Université de Montréal. Cette thèse expose donc les points relatifs aux conditions d’accueil, d’intégration et de formation d’étudiants internationaux inscrits en programme de recherche à l’Université de Montréal. Nous partons des contextes canadiens et québécois de l’internationalisation de l’enseignement supérieur pour analyser la trame de l’expérience desdits étudiants, depuis les conditions scolaires, sociales et personnelles de leurs milieux d’accueil.
Ainsi, la thèse nous plonge dans l’univers de ces étudiants et présente de nombreux points d’intérêt et une contribution à la sociologie de l’enseignement supérieur. Nous avons analysé les aspects relatifs aux caractéristiques des étudiants susceptibles de favoriser ou compromettre leur persévérance (Tinto, 1993) et les expériences scolaires et sociales de ces étudiants et le sens qu’ils donnent à ces expériences (Dubet, 1994; Rochex, 1995) et, enfin, nous avons exploré les trois temps de l’affiliation (Coulon, 1997).
La question de recherche est la suivante : quels sont les aspects associés aux caractéristiques des étudiants (Tinto), à leurs expériences sociales (Dubet) et à l’apprentissage du métier d’étudiant (Coulon) susceptibles d’influencer la persévérance aux études chez les étudiants internationaux ?
En ce qui concerne la méthodologie, cette recherche est de type exploratoire et repose sur une démarche d’investigation qualitative. Notre étude s’est attachée à décrire le cheminement scolaire des étudiants internationaux, nous avons tenté de tirer du sens de données institutionnelles mises à disposition. Des entretiens auprès de huit étudiants internationaux ont été réalisés. Nous proposons un survol des facteurs freinant ou favorisant la poursuite des études.
Finalement, l’analyse compréhensive des entretiens suggère une forte capacité de résilience et l’importance d’une solidarité entre étudiants internationaux, en dépit de l’absence de bourses d’études ou d’autres soutiens financiers. Concernant leur intégration sociale et académique, si le Canada est décrit comme une société accueillante, les étudiants internationaux ont encore à surmonter des barrières culturelles et linguistiques, ils souffrent également d’un manque d’amitiés interculturelles faisant en sorte qu’ils ressentent un malaise général. Les échos de leurs récits suggèrent également l’importance des interactions de qualité avec leurs directions de recherche. Les étudiants internationaux ont besoin du soutien intellectuel, moral et financier de leur direction de recherche. Ces dernières sont souvent et systématiquement décrites comme première, voire unique, source d’informations. Elles sont aussi reconnues comme favorisant la persévérance aux études. Dans un tout autre ordre de déterminant, les étudiants internationaux mentionnent également que leur bien-être (physique et psychologique) dépend également de leur alimentation et la pratique de leur religion. Par exemple, certains sont véritablement en lutte pour accepter une alimentation totalement différente de celle de chez eux. De toute évidence, l’alimentation, la langue et la religion sont décrites comme véhicule de maintien de leur identité culturelle, au Canada et ce maintien est important pour leur bien-être et leur confort général dans le pays d’accueil.
La recherche a permis de rendre plus audible la vie universitaire et sociale de ces étudiants jusque-là méconnue au Québec et à Montréal. L’approche exploratoire et compréhensive a montré que les migrations pour études répondent avant tout à des choix individuels liés à des aspirations sociales et professionnelles élevées. Mais, la décision de persévérer dépend de l’interrelation entre les stratégies individuelles et les contraintes migratoires, économiques et sociales.
La thèse contribue à une meilleure compréhension de l’expérience des étudiants internationaux, notamment en montrant comment leur persévérance s’accompagne d’une fragilité et ces connaissances sont importantes pour les universités qui cherchent à accroître leur place sur le marché international de l’enseignement supérieur. / The purpose of this research is to develop a strong understanding of persistence in higher education among a specific international population: International Postgraduate Students. We do not know much about international students in Montréal thought we think they play a key role on the economic performance of host country and institution. Therefore this thesis presents the issues relating to reception, integration and training conditions among international postgraduate students at the Université de Montréal. We begin with the Canadian and Quebec contexts of internationalization of higher education to analyze the frame of their experiences in the host community.
In parallel, we have identified a large number of theories on attrition and retention in postsecondary education (Tinto, 1993), giving us factors that explain success, persistence and dropout. However, we noted that Tinto’s one in particular is not sufficient to understand persistence among international students. Thus, we analyzed the academic and social experiences of these international students and the meaning they give to such experiences (Dubet, 1994, Rochex, 1995) and, finally, we wanted to explore the temps de l’affiliation (Coulon, 1997).
Those purposes allowed me to finally identify and set the following research question: what aspects associated with student characteristics (Tinto), their social experiences (Dubet) and learning the métier d’étudiant (Coulon) may influence academic persistence among international students?
Regarding the methodology, this exploratory research used a qualitative method (collecting and analyzing data). We conducted a descriptive data analysis in order to set a portrait of the international students in Montreal. We received institutional data from the Institutional Research Office of the Université de Montréal. We also wanted to discuss students’ sense making on their academic and social experiences. So, interviews were conducted with a limited number of volunteers (n = 8) giving a stronger analysis of their experiences and different understanding of persistence.
Students voices heard in interviews suggest a strong resilience of the individual and the ethnic solidarity in spite of a lack of scholarships and other financial supports. Regarding their social and academic integration, though Canada is described as a welcoming society, they still have to deal and struggle with cultural boundaries, a lack of intercultural friendships so that they feel a general discomfort. Echoes of ethnographic interviews also suggest the influence of good quality interactions with their thesis supervisors. In a different matter, international students mention a strong relationship between their wellbeing and food. As a vehicle for maintaining or remembering their cultural identity in Canada, they struggle accepting a totally different food than the one from back home. Obviously, food, religion and language are important determinants of international students’ well being and general comfort in the new country.
Research has made more audible the academic and social life of these students previously unknown in Quebec and Montreal. The exploratory and comprehensive approach showed that the decision to persist depends on the interrelation between the individual strategies and economic and social constraints.
The thesis contributes to a better understanding of the experience of international students, including showing how perseverance is accompanied by fragility and they are important for universities seeking to enhance their position in the international higher education market.

Produção científica em Ciência da Informação: reflexos dos avanços tecnológicos nas comunicações apresentadas nos EnANCIBs / Scientific outcome in Science InformationMoraes, Fernanda Miranda de 27 August 2013 (has links)
Com o desenvolvimento das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TICs) e, principalmente, a partir dos anos 90, com a criação da World Wide Web, a forma de registro e acesso à informação foram modificadas. Passa-se do papel para o registro eletrônico e a informação que, anteriormente, estava condicionada ao seu local de armazenamento passa a ser acessada remotamente, a qualquer hora do dia. Se, por um lado, os avanços tecnológicos provocaram mudanças significativas, principalmente no que diz respeito ao armazenamento e divulgação do conhecimento, por outro, surgiram questões importantes. Diante desse cenário é que, ao menos nos últimos anos, os processos analisados pela Ciência da Informação (CI) foram influenciados pelos avanços das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação. Nesse sentido, entender como a CI lida com as novas tecnologias surge como tarefa necessária, inclusive porque as mudanças tecnológicas ocorrem de forma cada vez mais acelerada no mundo contemporâneo. O trabalho trata-se de uma dessas tentativas de compreensão, tendo-se como premissa que a partir de análise desses avanços tecnológicos é possível estabelecer uma linha do tempo com indicações das mudanças, que refletiram diretamente nos processos de armazenamento e uso da informação. Nesse sentido, o objetivo da pesquisa foi traçar um panorama sobre a inserção das TICs na Ciência da Informação. Para isto, foram analisados os trabalhos apresentados no Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Informação (EnANCIB) de 1994 até 2012. Do conjunto de 1913 comunicações apresentadas nas 13 edições do evento, foram selecionados 387 trabalhos, por tratarem de questões relacionadas aos avanços tecnológicos. As comunicações foram analisadas e classificadas segundo o tipo de abordagem dos trabalhos: Uso de ferramentas ou Análise reflexiva. Em seguida os trabalhos foram analisados em relação à temática, baseadando-se nos descritores de cada comunicação. Observa-se que a maior parte (82%) dos trabalhos apresentam uma reflexão crítica sobre as TICs e apenas 18% tratam do uso de ferramenta. Em relação à temática, os trabalhos foram classificados em 25 descritores dos quais os seis mais citados representam 80% dos trabalhos. Observa-se a posição de destaque do descritor Internet, que representa 45% dos trabalhos, aparecendo em seguida,Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação (15%), Redes (6%), Biblioteca digital (5%), Publicações eletrônicas (5%) e Ciberespaço (4%). O trabalho permitiu elaborar uma visão geral dos avanços das tecnologias de informação e comunicação e seus reflexos no campo científico da Ciência da Informação, sendo assim, foi possível analisar as variáveis que interferem nos processos da área, possibilitando reflexões que possam garantir a adequação de produtos e serviços às necessidades do usuário em contextos específicos. / With the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and especially since the 90s, when the era of the World Wide Web emerged, the way to access information has changed. We move from paper to electronic records and the information that was previously subject to its storage location is then accessed remotely, at any time of day. If, on the one hand, technological advances brought about significant changes, particularly with regard to the storage, and dissemination of knowledge, on the other, important issues emerged. Faced with this scenario is that, at least in recent years, the processes analyzed by Information Science (CI) were influenced by the advances of Information and Communication. In this sense, understanding how CI handles new technology emerges as a necessary task, especially because technological changes are occurring in ever faster in contemporary society. This present work is one such attempt of these understandings, having premised that from earlier analysis of these technological advances, it is possible to establish a time line with indications of changes, which directly reflected in the processes of storage and use of information. Accordingly, the objective of this research was to find out about the integration of ICT in Information Science. For this, there have been analyses of works presented at the National Research and Graduate Studies in Information Science (ENANCIB) from 1994 until 2012. From the set of 1913 communications presented in 13 editions of the event, there were selected 387 works by addressing issues related to technological advances. The communications were analyzed and classified according to the type of work approaches: Using tools or Reflective Analysis. Then the works were studied in relation to the theme, based on the descriptors of each type of communication. It was observed that the majority (82%) of the works present a critical reflection on ICTs and only 18% treat the use of tools. In relation to the theme, the works were classified into 25 descriptors of which the six most cited represent 80% of the reports. It was observed that to the prominent position of the descriptor Internet, representing 45% of the work, appearing then Information Technology and Communication (15%), Networking (6%), digital library (5%), Electronic Publications (5%) and Cyberspace (4%). The study elaborated an overview of advances in information and communication technologies and their impact in the scientific subject of information science, so it was possible to analyze the variables that influence the processes in the field, allowing reflections that can ensure the adequacy products and services to user needs in specific contexts.

Previous issue date: 2006-06-13 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This bibliographic-documental investigation aims at building a map of the aspects regarding graduate (four-year college) studies that stood out in the academic production presented in the ANPEd (National Association for Post-graduate studies and Research in Education) meetings between the years 1996 and 2003. In order to do so, we have analysed 163 papers contained in the ANPEd historical CD-ROM which gathers documents up to 2001 and from the 2002 and 2003 annual meeting CD-ROMs, selecting those that deal with higher education and approach aspects of graduate studies. Special attention was given to aspects that refer to the relationship between teaching and research in this level of teaching. We set off from a bibliographic review that situates graduate studies into higher education and universities and analyses teaching and research functions as inserted in the history of higher education in Brazil and in the expectations for the XXI century. For the data analyses we based on studies of Brazilian authors that produced syntheses of the academic production in theses, dissertations and national periodicals on higher education and teachers training. The texts that have been analyzed originate mainly from public universities; 30% refer to the relationship between teaching and research as inserted in analises of the history, financing, structure or organization of the Brazilian higher education; 38% of the texts approach in classroom investigations or documental and bibliographic research the courses, disciplines, curricular structure, pedagogical practices, teaching/learning processes or several concepts from teachers and students, among others. Although the production that focuses on graduate studies increases in this period, it tends to decrease in the last years, as opposed to the texts that approach the teachers training for higher education, which show an increase. We find a greater incidence of studies on teachers training courses and less on another graduate courses, as well as a recurrence of studies about courses as Pedagogy and Mathematics. The field of research about graduate students is little explored and investigations on quality and working conditions for professors, as well as substitute professors are practically ignored in the academic production / O objetivo dessa investigação, de tipo documental bibliográfica, foi construir um mapa dos principais aspectos abordados nos estudos sobre graduação com base nos textos apresentados nas reuniões da Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Educação (ANPEd), no período entre 1996 e 2003. Para tanto, foram analisados 163 textos, de um total de 1985 publicados no CD ROM histórico da ANPEd - que reúne documentos até 2001 - e nos CDs ROM das reuniões anuais de 2002 e 2003. Dentre eles, foram selecionados aqueles que tratam da educação superior e que abordam questões relacionadas à graduação. Especial atenção foi dedicada aos trabalhos que focalizam a relação entre ensino e pesquisa nesse nível de ensino. Partiu-se de uma revisão bibliográfica que situa a graduação no ensino superior e nas universidades e analisa as funções de ensino e pesquisa inseridas no contexto histórico do ensino superior no Brasil e suas expectativas para o Século XXI. Para análise dos dados tomou-se por base estudos de autores brasileiros que realizaram sínteses da produção acadêmica em teses e dissertações e em periódicos nacionais sobre Educação Superior, Formação de Professores e Licenciaturas. Os textos analisados procedem, em sua maioria, de universidades públicas ou privadas, do tipo confessional; 30% referem-se à relação ensino e pesquisa inserida em análises da história, do financiamento, da estrutura ou da organização da educação superior brasileira; 38% dos textos abordam em investigações em sala de aula ou em pesquisas bibliográficas e documentais - os cursos, as disciplinas, a estrutura curricular, as práticas pedagógicas, os processos de ensino - aprendizagem ou diversas concepções de professores e alunos. A produção que focaliza aspectos da graduação, apesar de aumentar no período, tende a diminuir nos últimos anos, ao contrário dos textos que abordam a formação do professor para o ensino superior que evidenciam crescimento. Encontrou-se maior incidência de estudos sobre licenciaturas e menor sobre cursos de bacharelado, assim como recorrência de estudos sobre alguns cursos como os de Pedagogia e Matemática. O campo de pesquisa sobre os alunos de graduação é pouco explorado e investigações sobre qualidade e condições de trabalho dos professores, bem como a dos professores substitutos são praticamente ignoradas na produção acadêmica

O trabalho permitiu elaborar uma visão geral dos avanços das tecnologias de informação e comunicação e seus reflexos no campo científico da Ciência da Informação, sendo assim, foi possível analisar as variáveis que interferem nos processos da área, possibilitando reflexões que possam garantir a adequação de produtos e serviços às necessidades do usuário em contextos específicos. / With the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and especially since the 90s, when the era of the World Wide Web emerged, the way to access information has changed. We move from paper to electronic records and the information that was previously subject to its storage location is then accessed remotely, at any time of day. If, on the one hand, technological advances brought about significant changes, particularly with regard to the storage, and dissemination of knowledge, on the other, important issues emerged. Faced with this scenario is that, at least in recent years, the processes analyzed by Information Science (CI) were influenced by the advances of Information and Communication. In this sense, understanding how CI handles new technology emerges as a necessary task, especially because technological changes are occurring in ever faster in contemporary society. This present work is one such attempt of these understandings, having premised that from earlier analysis of these technological advances, it is possible to establish a time line with indications of changes, which directly reflected in the processes of storage and use of information. Accordingly, the objective of this research was to find out about the integration of ICT in Information Science. For this, there have been analyses of works presented at the National Research and Graduate Studies in Information Science (ENANCIB) from 1994 until 2012. From the set of 1913 communications presented in 13 editions of the event, there were selected 387 works by addressing issues related to technological advances. The communications were analyzed and classified according to the type of work approaches: Using tools or Reflective Analysis. Then the works were studied in relation to the theme, based on the descriptors of each type of communication. It was observed that the majority (82%) of the works present a critical reflection on ICTs and only 18% treat the use of tools. In relation to the theme, the works were classified into 25 descriptors of which the six most cited represent 80% of the reports. It was observed that to the prominent position of the descriptor Internet, representing 45% of the work, appearing then Information Technology and Communication (15%), Networking (6%), digital library (5%), Electronic Publications (5%) and Cyberspace (4%). The study elaborated an overview of advances in information and communication technologies and their impact in the scientific subject of information science, so it was possible to analyze the variables that influence the processes in the field, allowing reflections that can ensure the adequacy products and services to user needs in specific contexts.

Previous issue date: 2012-04-25 / This work aims to analyze the performance of post-graduate studies at the Federal University of Amazonas from the perspective of the indicators of CAPES in the last three operating triennia (2001-2009). The main focus is to identify factors related to the performance of existing faculty, guidance in preparing a thesis / dissertation, and existing infrastructure. In
order to investigate the quality of programs in the last three study periods, we performed a literature review, survey of concepts through the records and reports on existing programs and departments of the CAPES website. Data collection was done in October and December/2011, through interviews with the coordinators of the current courses. In the data analysis we used the quantitative and qualitative approaches focusing on the performance statistics of the courses in the last three assessments (2004, 2007, 2010) at the Federal University of
Amazonas. The data showed the bottlenecks and the need for mechanisms to contribute to the improvement of the concepts of evaluation of courses / programs. The study proposed a
management policy courses in the graduate studies program with an emphasis on efficiency to meet the requisites of the system of CAPES evaluation, taking into account the reality of
programs and other important elements for its improvement, and indicated mechanisms that may contribute to the improvement of the concepts at the time of evaluation / Este trabalho objetiva analisar o desempenho dos cursos de Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu da Universidade Federal do Amazonas sob a ótica dos indicadores da CAPES nos últimos três triênios (2001-2009). O foco principal é verificar os fatores existentes relacionados com o desempenho do corpo docente, orientação na elaboração tese/dissertação, e da infraestrutura existente. Com o intuito de investigar a qualidade dos programas nos três últimos triênios, foi realizada a revisão de literatura, levantamento dos conceitos por meio das fichas e relatórios existentes nas secretarias dos programas e website da CAPES. A coleta de dados foi feita nos meses de outubro a dezembro/2011, através de entrevista com os coordenadores atuais dos cursos. Na análise dos dados utilizou-se das abordagens quantitativas e qualitativas enfocando dados estatísticos do desempenho dos cursos nas três últimas avaliações (2004, 2007, 2010) na Universidade Federal do Amazonas. O estudo permitiu detectar os gargalos existentes e a necessidade da criação de mecanismos para contribuir com a melhoria dos conceitos da avaliação dos cursos/programas. O estudo propôs uma política de gerenciamento nos cursos e programas stricto sensu com ênfase na eficácia para atender aos quesitos do sistema de avaliação da CAPES, levando-se em conta a realidade dos programas e demais elementos importantes para o seu contínuo aprimoramento, e indicou mecanismos que possam contribuir para a melhoria dos conceitos no momento da avaliação

Using Site-Directed Mutagenesis to Determine Impact of Amino Acid Substitution on Substrate and Regiospecificity of Grapefruit Flavonol 3-O-GlucosyltransferaseAdepoju, Olusegun A., Shiva, Devaiah K., McIntosh, Cecelia A. 03 April 2014 (has links)
Flavonoids are secondary metabolites that are important in plant defense, protection and human health. Most naturally-occurring flavonoids are found in glucosylated form. Glucosyltransferases (GTs) are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of glucose from a high energy sugar donor to an acceptor molecule. A flavonol-specific 3-O-GT enzyme has been identified and cloned from leaf tissues of grapefruit. The enzyme shows rigid substrate specificity and regiospecificity. F3-O-GTs from grape (Vitis vinifera) and grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) were modeled against F7-O-GTs from Crocus sativus and Scrutellaria biacalensis, and several non-conservative amino acid differences were identified that may impact regioselectivity. This research is designed to test the hypothesis that specific amino acid residues impart the regiospecificity of the grapefruit enzyme. Site-directed mutagenesis was performed on three potentially key amino acid residues within the grapefruit F3-O-GT that were identified through homology modeling. Analyses of the enzyme activity of the mutant F3-O-GT proteins revealed that the single point mutations of serine 20 to leucine (S20L) and proline 297 to phenylalanine (P297F) rendered the recombinant enzyme inactive with flavonol substrates. Mutation of glycine 392 to glutamate (G392E) was active at 80% relative to the wild type. The mutant enzyme also did not show broadened acceptor specificity as it also favored flavonols as the preferred acceptor substrate. The glucosylation products of the active mutant enzyme will be analyzed to determine if this resulted in a change in regiospecificity.

Effects of Amino Acid Insertion on the Substrate and Regiospecificity of a Citrus paradisi GlucosyltransferaseTolliver, Benjamin M., Shivakumar, Devaiah P., McIntosh, Cecelia A. 03 April 2014 (has links)
Glucosyltransferases, or GTs, are enzymes which perform glucosylation reactions. These glucosylation reactions involve attaching a UDP-activated glucose molecule to acceptor molecules specific to the enzyme. The products of these reactions are observed to have a myriad of effects on metabolic processes, including stabilization of structures, solubility modification, and regulation of compound bioavailability. The enzyme which our lab focuses its research on is a flavonol-specific 3-O-GT found in Citrus paradisi, or grapefruit. This enzyme is part of the class of enzymes known as flavonoid GTs, which are responsible for, among other things, the formation of compounds which can affect the taste of citrus. Our lab focuses its research on performing site-directed mutagenesis on Citrus paradisi 3-O-GT in an attempt to modify its substrate specificity and regiospecificity. In this poster, we report our findings thus far concerning the addition of specific residues to the 3-O-GT's amino acid sequence based on an alignment with the sequence of a putative flavonoid GT found in Citrus sinensis.
