This study examines how e-learning can contribute to undergraduate management education, regarding the development of student’s competences. The research first reviewed e–learning and management education literature, including learning theories and styles. In the second phase, empirical research was conducted using 119 students from the Introduction to Human Resources Management course, part of the management undergraduate program at FEA/USP. The results tend to confirm that not all people can adapt to e-learning. Depending on a student’s preferences with respect to his or her own learning process, e-learning benefits can vary. The research results support adding e-learning to the Higher Education Institutions’ discussion agenda. Factors to consider include e-learning’s potential for stimulating the development of self-learning and conduct in a virtual environment, besides technical competences, and how learning styles affect the ability to utilize this teaching method.

In the 21st century employers put a higher value than ever before on the interpersonal and thinking competencies of employees such as skills of teamwork, problem solving, and communi-cation, and the capability of creativity as the most important abilities (A. Herrington & J. Her-rington, 2006; Ramsden, 2003). Based on some of these learning theories, J. Herrington and Oliver (2000) further developed an authentic learning framework (p. 30). In this study, I re-ferred to their framework to build a rationale for my research design. The elements of critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration, expressed in this authentic learning framework, are the core concepts in my study.<p> My past teaching experiences in China sparked my interest in the study because I wit-nessed an inconsistency between teaching practices in higher education and the needs of students in schools and workplaces. Further, my learning experiences in Canada as a full-time student deepened my research interest. Thus, I devised the purpose of my study to probe the perceptions of professors in the University of Saskatchewan about their philosophies and practices with re-spect to their undergraduate teaching. I wanted to examine the perceptions of their teaching re-garding the authentic learning process in terms of critical thinking, problem solving, and collabo-ration. My study was a qualitative case study and I used semi-structured interviews to collect the data from six participants with diverse backgrounds from three different disciplines.<p> I organized the findings of the data in the following categories: Understanding of Authentic Learning (which provides the introduction to understanding the authentic learning process); themes of Context, Diversity of Perspectives, and Relationship; and the special theme of Dinas Belief Construction. There were similarities and variations emerging from the data. The varied backgrounds of participants such as their discipline, class size, teaching level, and administrative position appeared to exert influence on the participants perceptions of their teaching. Most of the differences occurred within themes of context and relationship. Apart from the pre-existent features, personal belief was another factor that might be seen to have led to some different perceptions.<p> The data findings provided a foundation to address the level of consistency between the findings and the literature. The discrepancy between my research findings and literature primarily consisted of the conflicting perceptions of teaching practices in relation to collaboration and problem solving. Collaboration was an important area in the literature but the participants per-ceptions of their teaching practices concerning collaboration varied. The adoption of technology in the teaching of my participants (e.g., the use of the Internet and video) was an unexpected finding in my study. Most participants described that the blending of technology in their teaching practices reinforced the cultivation of critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration.<p> Some implications rendered from the discussions are noteworthy for future research. In the belief construction, Dina (2007) described how implicit and explicit beliefs steered students thinking, transformed their behaviors, and eventually enhanced students abilities in critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration. From the constructivist perspective, Dina and Mary (2007) viewed learning as a process of constructing the understanding of diverse contexts in a community. Some teaching practices described by the participants were the special features of a particular discipline. Technology was a new focus in much of the literature of the past 10 years, which was closely linked with real life and collaboration nowadays. In addition, I found that each component of authentic learning (i.e., critical thinking, problem solving, and collabora-tion) deserved further exploration in the future. Although some deficiencies existed, I learned how to design a qualitative case study and these research experiences will become valuable ref-erences for my future research.

While once almost indistinguishable, the systems of higher education in the United States and the United Kingdom have diverged during the past 200 years to the point where today there are few similarities. However, due to increasing globalization and the growing ubiquity of the internet, many contemporary issues in higher education are often faced by institutions across the globe. After detailing the historical role of scholarship and teaching in the two countries, this study concentrates on two aspects that have been extensively researched in recent years, namely the role of technology in the classroom and the balance that many modern day faculty must seek with regard to teaching and research. A new perspective on these issues is then explored by considering the perceptions of current and former exchange students from the United States and the United Kingdom. Data were collected by interviewing 12 students representing eight universities in the two countries, and an analysis was conducted according to established phenomenological principles. Four primary themes emerged as a result, which allowed me to seek commonalities and differences with the existing literature, and make suggestions for the direction of future research. The conclusions made center around how students want technology to be used by faculty in a moderated fashion, and a distinction is formed between the way in which faculty and institutions in the two countries use web-based technology. With regard to the teaching-research nexus, this study largely refutes the notion that contemporary faculty prioritize research to the detriment of undergraduate students, and posits that the two disciplines are integrated in the sense that they can positively affect each other.

However these studies are rare in Brazil. The current research had the purpose to set out the way knowledge changes and therefore the teaching-learning, can be reflecting on the pedagogic-didactic experience of the Veterinary Parasitology teaching in the Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ) Veterinary Medicine Graduation Course. The descriptive study was the methodology used. The research was developed with the Animal Parasitology Department Teachers and the Veterinary Medicine Students, from October 2000 to December 2000. The data was obtained by applying student questionnaires, teachers interviews and theoretical and practical classes survey. It was divided into three articulated chapters. First we look for the relation between the university knowledge and the society, the University history, the today University crisis and its renewal proposals. Second we tried to understand the teaching-learning process in the University. In the third chapter we linked the themes from the first and second to the questionnaires results. They reveal teachers and students points of view as well as the way practical and theoretical classes can dialogue with the teacher-student-knowledge in the UFRRJ Veterinary Parasitology teaching context. The results analysis indicate the teachers are considered competent at their functions. A better theoretical and practical classes time management is required in some cases. The practical classes became the most democratic forum for the pedagogical doing and a more progressive educational action. The results also indicate a study organization difficulty among the students, nevertheless they are aware of the parasitology knowledge importance for their professional lives. Testing was considered the best evaluation method. Practical evaluation with free consultation, CD ROM and specific revision aid utilization were initiatives praised by the students. The university teacher attributions go beyond the simply teaching by teachers points of view. They are all involved with research and, although they don?t have a pedagogic specific education, they consider themselves as full educators. Teaching changes, due to the new social realities, are also mentioned as an important necessity. A conjugation of conservative and emancipative pedagogic conceptions exists and the transforming of the teaching into a research field would be a direction to renew and amplify the Parasitology in UFRRJ. / O ensino de Parasitologia Veterin?ria no mundo tem se revelado importante tema de investiga??o, fato comprovado pelo grande n?mero de artigos publicados em revistas cient?ficas. Entretanto, ainda s?o raros estes estudos no Brasil. O presente trabalho teve como objetivos explicitar de que forma as mudan?as em rela??o ao conhecimento e, conseq?entemente, sobre o ensino-aprendizagem, podem estar se refletindo na viv?ncia did?tico-pedag?gica, do ensino de Parasitologia Veterin?ria, no Curso de Gradua??o em Medicina Veterin?ria da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). Utilizou-se, como metodologia, o estudo descritivo, sendo a pesquisa desenvolvida com os docentes do Departamento de Parasitologia Animal e discentes do referido curso, no per?odo de outubro de 2000 a dezembro de 2001. Os dados foram obtidos atrav?s da aplica??o de question?rios aos discentes, entrevistas com os docentes e observa??o de aulas te?ricas e pr?ticas. O estudo se organizou em tr?s cap?tulos articulados. No primeiro, buscou-se compreender a rela??o existente entre o conhecimento produzido pela universidade e a sociedade, bem como a trajet?ria desta institui??o, a crise vivenciada hoje e as propostas para a sua renova??o. No segundo, procurou-se entender o processo de ensino aprendizagem na universidade, reconhecendo-o como complexo. No terceiro, vincularam-se as tem?ticas dos dois primeiros cap?tulos, costurando-as aos resultados encontrados. S?o reveladas as vis?es dos discentes e docentes, bem como a configura??o das aulas te?ricas e pr?ticas no confronto professoraluno- conhecimento para o ensino de Parasitologia Veterin?ria da UFRRJ A an?lise dos resultados mostrou que os docentes s?o considerados profissionais competentes no trabalho que v?m realizando. Em alguns casos, observou-se que seria importante realizar a adequa??o melhor do tempo das aulas te?ricas e pr?ticas. As aulas pr?ticas se mostraram como o espa?o mais democr?tico do fazer pedag?gico, no que diz respeito ? possibilidade de uma a??o educacional progressista. Entre os discentes, os resultados mostraram dificuldades na organiza??o dos estudos, mas, mesmo assim, eles possuem consci?ncia da import?ncia do conhecimento em Parasitologia para o seu exerc?cio profissional. A prova foi considerada a melhor forma de avalia??o, embora n?o fosse a ?nica. A realiza??o da avalia??o pr?tica, com consulta, utiliza??o de CD-ROM e apostilas espec?ficas, foi iniciativa elogiada pelos alunos. Na concep??o dos docentes, as atribui??es do professor universit?rio v?o al?m do mero ensinar, estando todos envolvidos com pesquisa e, mesmo sem terem tido uma forma??o pedag?gica espec?fica, consideram-se educadores. Revelaram, tamb?m, a necessidade de mudan?as no ensino, frente ?s novas realidades sociais. Conclui-se que existe uma conjuga??o de concep??es pedag?gicas conservadoras e emancipadoras, e que transformar o ensino em campo de pesquisa seria um dos caminhos para a renova??o e amplia??o da Parasitologia na UFRRJ.

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study was to investigate The effect of the Problem-Based Learning Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach in the teaching of composition and inverse functions in a foundation programme. PBL is a philosophical approach to teaching and learning where problems drive the learning. The study was important because it was trying to find out if PBL can improve students’ performance in compositions and inverses of functions at the bridging course for undergraduate mathematics at Oshakati Campus. The study intended to come up with a PBL model suitable for FP mathematics in the teaching of compositions and inverses of functions. The study was done on Science Foundation students who are registered for FP. Eighty students were randomly selected from the foundation students registered for the 2013 academic year. The students were randomly assigned into the experimental and the comparison groups of 40 each. In this study the comparison group of the Foundation students was predominantly taught through the traditional lecture approach while the experimental group was predominantly taught using a hybrid PBL approach. The study also attempted to establish the students’ perceptions with regard to the relevance of inverses and compositions of functions as a concept in a topic that determines their academic destination. It also attempted to ascertain how the PBL approach could best be implemented in order to improve FP students’ understanding of inverses and composition of functions; how Bridging course for undergraduate mathematics (FP) students experience the PBL approach in the teaching and learning of inverses and composition of functions compared to those who are taught using the lecture method and how FP students’ performance on inverses and composition of functions as a result of their PBL experience compare to those who are taught using the lecture method. This study used the concurrent nested mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) research designs. A quasi experimental design was adopted through the administration of a pre-post-test on experimental and comparison groups. The other designs or methods included a questionnaire survey, focus group interviews, non-participant lesson observation and a group research project on compositions and inverses of functions. The experimental group was then mainly taught through a hybrid PBL approach while the comparison group mainly through the lecture approach for a period of three months. The findings of this research study showed that experimental group students performed significantly better in the overall results analysis but there were no significant differences in performance between the two groups for some Hypothetical Learning Trajectory (HLT) domains on compositions and inverses of functions. It is recommended that PBL should be implemented in the other foundation programme subjects. However, the role of the conventional teaching approaches cannot be undermined in the teaching and learning of compositions and inverses of functions since the students who were taught using this method also improved their performances, and as such these conventional teaching approaches should be used together with PBL in order to get the best results on FP students’ mathematics performance. This study recommends further research on how PBL can be implemented in other FP subjects. This study also recommended that PBL should be implemented right at the beginning of the year when the FP students start their classes in the foundation programme. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van die studie was om die effek van die probleemgebaseerde leer (PBL) benadering in die onderrig van die samestelling en inverse funksies in 'n Stigting program te ondersoek. PBL is 'n filosofiese benadering tot onderrig en leer waar probleme ry die leer. Die studie is belangrik omdat dit probeer het om uit te vind of PBL kan studente se prestasie in komposisies en inverses van funksies te verbeter by die Stigting Program op Oshakati-kampus. Die studie bedoel om vorendag te kom met 'n PBL model wat geskik is vir fondament in die onderrig van komposisies en inverses van funksies. Die studie is gedoen op Science Foundation studente by Oshakati-kampus van die Universiteit van Namibië. Tagtig studente is lukraak gekies uit die fondament studente wat geregistreer is vir die 2013 akademiese jaar. Die studente is ewekansig toegewys in die eksperimentele en die vergelyking groepe van 40 elk. In hierdie studie is die vergelyking groep van die Stigting studente is hoofsaaklik geleer word deur die tradisionele lesing benadering terwyl die eksperimentele groep was hoofsaaklik geleer met behulp van 'n hibriede PBL benadering. Die studie het ook probeer om vas te stel uit wat die studente se persepsies met betrekking tot die toepaslikheid van inverses en komposisies van funksies is soos 'n konsep in 'n onderwerp wat bepaal hul akademiese bestemming. Dit het ook probeer om vas te stel hoe die PBL benadering kan die beste om FP studente se begrip van inverses en samestelling van funksies te verbeter geïmplementeer word; hoe FP studente die PBL benadering in die onderrig en leer van inverses en samestelling van funksies in vergelyking met diegene wat geleer is met behulp van die lesing metode en hoe FP studente se prestasie op inverses en samestelling van funksies as 'n gevolg van hul PBL ervaring vergelyk met dié wat geleer is met behulp van die lesing-metode. Hierdie studie gebruik om die konkurrente geneste gemengde metodes (kwalitatiewe en kwantitatiewe) navorsing ontwerpe. 'N quasi eksperimentele ontwerp is aangeneem deur die administrasie van 'n pre-na-toets op eksperimentele en vergelyking groepe. Die ander ontwerpe of metodes het 'n vraelys opname, fokusgroeponderhoude, nie-deelnemer leswaarneming, en 'n groep navorsingsprojek oor komposisies en inverses van funksies. Die eksperimentele groep is dan hoofsaaklik geleer deur middel van 'n kruising PBL benadering terwyl die vergelyking groep hoofsaaklik deur die lesing benadering vir 'n tydperk van drie maande. Die bevindinge van hierdie navorsing het getoon dat die eksperimentele groep studente uitgevoer aansienlik beter in die algehele resultate analise, maar daar was geen betekenisvolle verskille in prestasie tussen die twee groepe vir 'n paar MTT gebiede op komposisies en inverses van funksies. Die studie het ook bevind dat PBL aan die begin van die jaar reg geïmplementeer moet word wanneer die FP studente begin hul klasse in die fondament program. Dit word aanbeveel dat PBL in al die ander fondament program vakke moet geïmplementeer word. Tog kan die rol van die konvensionele onderrig benaderings nie ondermyn word in die onderrig en leer van komposisies en inverses van funksies, en as sodanig die konvensionele onderrig benaderings moet saam met PBL word gebruik om die beste resultate op FP studente se wiskunde prestasie te kry . Hierdie studie beveel aan verdere navorsing oor hoe PBL in 'n ander fondament program vakke geïmplementeer kan word.

From the theoretical perspective of Ciampa, based on the historicdialectic materialism, life history narratives of undergraduate students are studied. Such universe is first of all taken as source of reference of activities and experiences assimilated along their lives, thus serving as reference to the understanding of the process of constitution of their identities. The study seeks to apprehend this process, based on the conception of the socio-historic man and of identity as a metamorphosis process. Through these life histories, the process of development of specifically human aptitudes and the human sense named conscience are analyzed. Under the light of the conceptions from the socio-historic psychology, the qualitative transformation of the conscience through embedded factors that are internal and external to men is studied, particularly in what refers to identity. For this reason, research extends to the analysis of form and content of what the students think and how they express their thoughts as narratives, considering these as the objectivation of capacities or acquisitions implied in their academic activities. We then come to the analysis of elaborations of the students and to the interactions that sustain such elaborations. Consequently, we come to the work of the Social Service Course at PUC/SP and to the implication of this work in the process of constitution of the identity of its students, in this study, represented by two of them. By focusing on the identity process as metamorphosis, research is centered in the relationship established between course-student, grounded on the pedagogic project of the course and on the professional profile it proposes. As a result of this study, the effectiveness of a process of constitution of human identities was evidenced, considering that a determined proposal of undergraduate teaching and determined kinds of learning produce movements in the identity of the students, participants of this research. That is, it is possible to organize revolutionary teaching under the capitalist roof / Esta pesquisa constitui-se num estudo sobre o processo de constituição da identidade humana. Sob a perspectiva teórica de ciampa, com base no materialismo histórico-dialético, estudam-se as narrativas de histórias de vida de alunas universitárias. Tal universo é tomado primeiramente como fonte de referência de atividades e experiências assimiladas no percurso de suas vidas, sendo, assim, referência para a compreensão do processo de constituição de suas identidades. A pesquisa busca apreender esse processo, tendo por base a concepção de homem sócio-histórico e de identidade como processo de metamorfose. Por meio dessas histórias de vida analisa-se o processo de desenvolvimento de aptidões especificamente humanas e o sentido humano chamado consciência. À luz das concepções da psicologia sócio-histórica, estuda-se, principalmente no que se refere à identidade, a transformação qualitativa da consciência por imbricamento de fatores internos e externos ao homem. A pesquisa se estende, por isso, à análise da forma e do conteúdo do que as alunas pensam e como expressam seus pensamentos em narrativas, considerando-os como objetivação de capacidades ou aquisições implicadas em suas atividades acadêmicas. Chega-se, assim, à análise de elaborações das alunas e às interações que dão sustentação a tais elaborações. Consequentemente chega-se ao trabalho do Curso de Serviço Social da PUC/SP e à implicação desse trabalho no processo de constituição da identidade de seus alunos, nesta pesquisa representados por duas deles. Com foco no processo de identidade como metamorfose, a pesquisa centra-se na relação que se estabelece entre curso-aluno tendo por base o projeto pedagógico do curso e o perfil profissional proposto por este. Assim, como resultado deste estudo, evidencia-se a efetivação de um processo de constituição de identidades humanas, mediante o que uma determinada proposta de ensino superior e determinadas aprendizagens produzem movimentos na identidade das alunas, sujeitos desta pesquisa. Ou seja, é possível, organizar um ensino revolucionário sob o teto capitalista
