The work deals with the study of the conditions of the policy and the provision of higher education for individuals who live in the countryside, especially the provision of the Agricultural Engineering course for the beneficiaries of agrarian reform conducted by the Federal University of Sergipe-UFS with support National Program for Education in Agrarian Reform - PRONERA / INCRA / MDA. The purpose of this research was to examine the importance of devolution of scientific knowledge as an important strategy for creating conditions for sustainable development of living and working in rural areas. The research was developed from two tests on the deployment of special course of Agricultural Engineering in the State of Sergipe directed at agrarian reform settlers and the curriculum developed in the course based on the specific field in northeastern Brazil. Started from the assumption that education helps expand the thinking and social practices on economic, political, cultural and environmental faced by all who struggle and try to build a decent life in the Brazilian countryside. Adopted as a method study in historical-Marxist dialectic, seeking amid the contradictions, identify the course of training proposed by the UFS, since the course proposal differs by its audience (children of settlers and settlements) its methodology (alternating - Time and Time Community School), the elements that contribute to broaden the dialogue between technical assistance and farmer in order to build a new knowledge and developing the field. From the interviews, reading the field diaries, technical reports, projects and programs underway, it was possible to infer that, despite the many problems faced in its development, the course provided access to scientific knowledge to farmers and children of peasants and enabled the creation of projects, which can be extended to rural communities in which these students. / O trabalho trata do estudo das condições da política e da oferta de Educação Superior para os sujeitos que vivem no campo, em especial da oferta do curso de Engenharia Agronômica para os beneficiários da reforma agrária, realizado pela Universidade Federal de Sergipe UFS com o apoio do Programa Nacional de Educação na Reforma Agrária PRONERA/INCRA/MDA. O objetivo da pesquisa foi o de analisar a importância da desconcentração do conhecimento científico como uma importante estratégia para a criação de condições do desenvolvimento sustentável dos que vivem e trabalham no meio rural. A pesquisa se desenvolveu a partir de duas análises sobre a implantação do curso especial de Engenharia Agronômica no Estado de Sergipe direcionados aos assentados da reforma agrária e, o currículo desenvolvido no curso a partir da especificidade do campo na região Nordeste do Brasil. Partiu-se do pressuposto de que a educação possibilita ampliar a reflexão e as práticas sociais sobre as questões econômicas, políticas, culturais e ambientais enfrentadas por todos que lutam e tentam construir uma vida digna no campo brasileiro. Adotou-se como método um estudo na perspectiva histórico-dialética marxista, procurando em meio às contradições, identificar no percurso da formação profissional proposto pela UFS, uma vez que a proposta do curso se diferencia pelo seu público (assentados e filhos de assentados), sua metodologia (alternância Tempo Comunidade e Tempo Escola); os elementos que contribuem para ampliar a interlocução entre a assistência técnica e o agricultor, de forma a construir um novo conhecimento e desenvolvimento do campo. A partir das entrevistas realizadas, da leitura dos diários de campo, relatórios técnicos, projetos e programas do curso, foi possível inferir que, apesar dos inúmeros problemas enfrentados no seu desenvolvimento, o curso proporcionou acesso ao conhecimento científico aos camponeses e filhos de camponeses e possibilitou a criação de projetos, os quais podem ser estendidos às comunidades rurais de origem destes estudantes.

Mediante entrevistas a profundidad de carácter exploratorio realizadas a dos grupos de segmentos, se pudo evidenciar que el segmento uno, estudiantes entre las edades de 15 a 20 años que deciden postular a universidades tanto públicas como privadas, indicaron principalmente que, no cuentan con conocimientos básicos, los cuales son requeridos para rendir un examen de admisión. Por otro lado, el segmento dos, docentes que se encuentren trabajando y requieran de un ingreso extra brindando clases de preparación preuniversitaria, mencionaron que su principal problema es la insatisfacción de remuneración percibida. Después de analizar dichas entrevistas, se evaluó la creación de “PostulaYa.pe” una academia preuniversitaria virtual, en la cual, se brindarán clases con horarios flexibles que se ajusten a la disponibilidad de tiempo tanto para el alumno como para el docente. Asimismo, la metodología de enseñanza será interactiva y la cantidad de alumnos por clase será reducida. Lo que diferencia a esta empresa de la competencia es el modelo de negocio pues, se brindará un servicio de calidad con baja inversión por parte de los estudiantes, ya que, los clientes no necesitarán estar físicamente en el aula de clase, sino que, podrán acceder a la plataforma virtual desde cualquier lugar y dispositivo, así como recibir educación en grupos pequeños el cual facilitará otorgar una educación personalizada. Como conclusión, se puede mencionar que ¨PostulaYa.pe¨ es un modelo de negocio rentable ya que, después de realizar el análisis financiero, los indicadores VAN y TIR resultaron ser positivos. / Through in-depth exploratory interviews carried out with two groups of segments, it was shown that segment one, students between the ages of 15 and 20 who decide to apply to both public and private universities, mainly indicated that they do not have basic knowledge, which are required to sit an entrance exam. On the other hand, segment two, teachers who are working and require an extra income by providing pre-university preparation classes, mentioned that their main problem is dissatisfaction with perceived remuneration. After analyzing these interviews, the creation of “PostulaYa.pe” was evaluated, a virtual pre-university academy, in which classes will be offered with flexible schedules that adjust to the availability of time for both the student and the teacher. Likewise, the teaching methodology will be interactive and the number of students per class will be reduced. What differentiates this company from the competition is the business model, since a quality service will be provided with low investment by the students, since the clients will not need to be physically in the classroom, but will be able to access the virtual platform from any place and device, as well as receive education in small groups which will facilitate the provision of a personalized education. In conclusion, it can be mentioned that ¨PostulaYa.pe¨ is a profitable business model since, after carrying out the financial analysis, the NPV and IRR indicators turned out to be positive. / Trabajo de investigación

Digital Education: OER H.1 / Aus Punkt 1 Einführung: Im Kontext gesellschaftlicher Veränderungsprozesse in einer immer stärker vernetzten und digital gestützten Wissenskultur gewinnt die gleichberechtigte Teilhabe an lebenslanger Bildung gleichermaßen an Bedeutung. Hochschulen können dazu beitragen, indem sie ihre Bildungsmaterialien – u. a. für sozial, wirtschaftlich oder geografisch benachteiligte Menschen – öffnen, als Open Educational Resources (OER) bereitstellen und dabei eine bedarfsgerechte Anpassung und Nachnutzung ermöglichen.

The Edinburgh Mathematical Society started out in 1883 as a society with a large proportion of teachers. Today, the member base is mainly academical and there are only a few teachers left. This thesis explores how and when this change came about, and discusses what this meant for the Society. It argues that the exit of the teachers is related to the rising standard of mathematics, but even more to a change in the Society’s printing policy in the 1920s, that turned the Society’s Proceedings into a pure research publication and led to the death of the ‘teacher journal’, the Mathematical Notes. The thesis also argues that this change, drastic as it may seem, does not represent a change in the Society’s nature. For this aim, the role of the teachers within the Society has been studied and compared to that of the academics, from 1883 to 1946. The mathematical contribution of the teachers to the Proceedings is studied in some detail, in particular the papers by John Watt Butters. A paper in the Mathematical Notes by A. C. Aitken on the Bell numbers is considered in connection with a series of letters on the same topic from 1938–39. These letters, written by Aitken, Sir D’Arcy Thompson, another EMS member, and the Cambridge mathematician G. T. Bennett, explores the relation between the three and gives valuable insight into the status of the Notes. Finally, the role of the first women in the Society is studied. The first woman joined without any official university education, but had received the necessary mathematical background from her studies under the Edinburgh Association for the University Education of Women. The final chapter is largely an assessment of this Association’s mathematical classes.

The initial idea was that the knowledge of writing is enrolled in the story of discursive actions of human- in- the- world- with- Another. As reference there is a theoretical-conceptual methodology inspired in Vygotski (1993, 1995), Bakhtin (1995, 2003), Foucault (2002) and Eco (1989, 1995), as well, studies in the Language field, in which the ones from Faundez and Mugrabi (2000, 2003) stand out, facing the theoretical tools that present and that seem adequate to the object and to the goals of that work. The study field was PEC- Municipal University Education, developed under the coordination of PUC-SP, which goal was to offer Licentiate for teachers specialized in teaching children and beginning grades of the Fundamental Teaching of municipal schools. This Program uses a non conventional methodology using advanced technology, printing material and diversified team of teachers. Considering that, the teaching content is transmitted by determined discursive ways from didactic utterance destined for students-teachers, there is an analysis of conceptions and subjacent feelings to foreseen activities in order to orienting about their role in the initiation process of the children in the world of written language. In general, what the didactic utterance, in the study ambit, provide is a group of data that project a triadic configuration in which the interrelation formers/student-teachers/ writing teaching seem lacunaria and inconsistent. That inconsistence observed in the university formation tends to affect the interrelations teacher/children/object-written, for the emphasis in the formatting discourses in making the teachers believe that the psychogenetic theory of the written language is the only theory that make them able to do adequate interventions, not considering multiple accomplishments and multidimensionality of the written language development process by children. The evidence found lead to conclude that, in spite of the innovation attempts, there are more continuities than ruptures in relation to conceptions and criticized practices / Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o tratamento teórico-metodológico dado ao ensino da Linguagem Escrita em um processo de formação universitária de professores-alfabetizadores, levando em consideração a natureza do papel deste profissional na tríade didática: professor/aluno/objeto-escrita, Segundo nosso ponto de vista, a linguagem escrita se inscreve na história das ações discursivas do humano-no-mundo-com-o-Outro. Adotamos como referência um quadro teórico-conceitual inspirado em Vygotski (1993, 1995), Bakhtin (1995, 2003), Foucault (2002) e Eco (1989, 2000), assim como, outros estudos no domínio da Linguagem, dentre os quais destacamos os trabalhos de Faundez e Mugrabi (2000, 2003). Nestes vários trabalhos encontramos as referências teóricas que nos pareceram mais adequadas ao nosso estudo. O campo empírico de nossos estudos foi o Programa PECFormação Universitária Municípios, desenvolvido sob a coordenação da PUC SP, cuja finalidade era oferecer licenciatura para docentes da Educação Infantil e séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental das redes municipais. Este Programa adota uma metodologia nãoconvencional que faz uso de tecnologia avançada, material impresso e uma equipe diversificada de professores. Considerando que, o conteúdo de ensino é veiculado através de determinadas formas discursivas, a partir dos enunciados didáticos dos formadores, tentamos analisar as concepções e sentidos subjacentes às atividades previstas para orientar os alunosprofessores quanto ao seu papel no processo de iniciação da criança no mundo da linguagem escrita. De modo geral, os dados analisados projetam uma configuração das inter-relações formadores/alunos-professores/ensino da escrita se mostram lacunares e inconsistentes. Esta inconsistência observada na formação universitária tende a afetar as inter-relações professor/crianças/objeto-escrita, mediante a ênfase nos discursos formadores em fazer crer aos professores que a psicogênese da linguagem escrita é A Teoria que lhes permite acompanhar a escrita da criança [...] e fazer intervenções adequadas, desconsiderando que unidimensionalidade do pensamento é insuficente para explicar a multidimensionalidade do processo de desenvolvimento da linguagem escrita, pelas crianças. Enfim, as evidências encontradas encaminham à conclusão que, apesar das tentativas de inovação, há mais continuidades que rupturas em relação às concepções e práticas criticadas

The Czech Republic and Scotland rank similarly in international pupil's performance tests. However, education systems of these countries differ greatly. This research has three main focus areas: 1) general aspects of Scottish education including teaching methods, school and real life connections in teaching, and school leaver's destinations 2) studying Chemistry and teaching at university 3) Chemistry in the senior phase of secondary education and the change of topics and exam paper brought in with the new Curriculum for Excellence. Comparative analysis of syllabi, exam papers, government publications and OECD reports was used and personal experience from an exchange study programme at a Scottish university and a work placement at a secondary school in England were utilized. The Higher exam paper was translated and Czech secondary students sat the test Furthermore, teacher trainees and Chemistry teachers were asked to evaluate the test. Results show that Czech students are taught different things and are accustomed to different ways of being tested, ones that are more focused on knowledge and less on critical thinking. Chemistry education in Scotland is more focused on school and real life connections and newest scientific discoveries. Therefore, Chemistry support notes for the senior phase were analyzed...
