Worldwide, including in South Africa, involvement in research is making increasing quality demands on higher education institutions in terms of sustaining high-level research capability and involvement on an efficient and effective basis. These are complex issues, particularly when concerns such as the quality of postgraduate training, lengthy postgraduate completion rates and the high percentage of suspension of postgraduate studies are present. These are just some of the issues leading to this improvement-oriented study investigating new-generation postgraduate students at a case-study university of technology. The research methodology applied in this study was primarily a qualitative research method, supported by a quantitative research element.

Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate the motivation of whether pursuing postgraduate study or not among Chinese students in Inner Mongolia University and Dalian Nationalities University. All in all fourteen specific questions were designed in the questionnaire. Psychodynamic theory, social cognitive theory and Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory have been employed to analyze the data. The results indicate that students’ motivations to pursue postgraduate studies have both internal and external causes. For those who want to pursue postgraduate studies, the internal causes can be listed as following: a higher degree for a decent job and students’ thirst for knowledge. The external causes include peer influence and extra expectation to fulfill parents' dreams. Those who do not want to pursue postgraduate studies hold more than a different idea on the relation between a better job and a higher degree. They think they can find a good job without a higher degree, and higher education level will not make any difference.

Abstract:

This mixed method, grounded theory study aimed to explore access to Master's level study at Rhodes University, a small, traditional South African university established in 1904, over the ten year period 1999-2008. It also sought to capture the essence of 'postgraduate readiness': the generic (non-certificated) attributes which academics expect graduates to possess in order to undertake Master's degree study. While the majority of students enter Master's level via the formal route (which at Rhodes is an Honours or 4-year bachelor's degree), a significant number are admitted based on the recognition of prior learning (RPL), a practice which is encouraged in South African higher education national policy as a means of widening access and also of acknowledging that learning can take place in ways other than 'formally'. The findings show that while RPL is well defined nationally at the undergraduate level, the concept of RPL at the postgraduate level is vague and largely left to institutional discretion. No national, and few institutional, guidelines are available on which to base the assessment of potential Master's degree students who do not have Honours degrees. Interviews with Deans, supervisors and policy makers at Rhodes indicated that while there is institutional support for admitting alternative access candidates, there is a general perception of deficit compared to those entering the Master's with formal qualifications. However, the statistical findings showed no significant difference in success rates or time taken to completion between students with and without Honours degrees. In addition, comments from supervisors with extensive experience of alternative access students praised the diversity and rich life experience which such students brought to their studies and their peers. The study concludes that an institutional culture characterized by resistance to change, risk and externally imposed regulations at Rhodes has resulted in weak implementation of the University's RPL policy, little marketing or publicizing of alternative access routes to postgraduate study, and low numbers of RPL enrolments at the Master's level. A framework for the assessment of potential Master's candidates - both RPL and formal admissions - for use at Rhodes University and potentially also at other higher education institutions, is proposed in conclusion.

Abstract:

Magister Artium - MA
Postgraduate research throughput and problems associated with appropriate supervision are a key focus area for many higher education institutions around the world (Lessing & Schulze, 2012; Amehoe, 2014; Botha, 2016). Central to this challenge is the supervisory relationship, which by its very nature, is not one-sided. A productive and rewarding supervisory process requires that both student and supervisor(s) are committed to fulfilling clearly-articulated responsibilities relevant to the research project at hand (Eley & Jennings, 2005). Both student-centric and institutional factors have been found to contribute to low student throughput and to the time taken to complete postgraduate studies (Amehoe, 2014; Luescher-Mamashela, 2015). In South Africa, the higher education landscape is increasingly fraught with varied challenges, including issues of attrition and completion rates as they relate to postgraduate students. Some of the implications of the premature termination of postgraduate research are that various academic fields are deprived of potentially valuable research contributions, and there is a significant cost incurred by the affected students and supervisors (Lovitts, 2001; Lessing & Lessing, 2004), as well as the relevant faculties and institutions, and society at large. Additionally, a number of South African universities are still grappling with inequities resulting from the Apartheid era (Pillay & Karlsson, 2013). It is against this backdrop that this research, through a narrative research lens involving semi-structured interviews, explores and chronicles the stories of six Master’s students who have encountered supervision-related challenges. According to Pearson and Kayrooz (2004), a limited narrative research spotlight has been trained on the issue of postgraduate supervision from the student perspective. The primary objective of this study, therefore, is to facilitate a platform through which the six respondents are able to share the stories of their Master’s supervision experience. On a secondary level, the sharing of these student stories has the potential to enhance the postgraduate research experience, as Lovitts (2001) and Lessing and Lessing (2004) point out.

Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch,2002.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Changing circumstances and new initiatives have made it necessary for Higher Education institutions to reflect on all aspects of their teaching portfolios. Recent global and national trends have had numerous implications for different aspects of the university as an entity, which in turn have important implications for teaching, and particularly postgraduate teaching. The need for greater transparency and efficiency is forcing universities into discussions around facing these challenges. The overarching aims of this study were twofold: firstly, to identify historical and current tendencies and patterns in postgraduate studies at the University of Stellenbosch and secondly, to determine the enabling and constraining factors relating to postgraduate studies at the University of Stellenbosch. It was decided to focus on both completed postgraduate students (years 1991 - 1999) as well as current postgraduate students (year 2000). Furthermore, "postgraduate" was defined as relating to all Master's and Doctoral students at the University of Stellenbosch. The empirical research for this study included three components. Firstly, two postal surveys were carried out at the University of Stellenbosch in 2000 in order to explore a representative sample of postgraduate students' attitudes and perceptions. Secondly, a secondary data analysis of existing data on the University database for postgraduate students was carried out in order to do an estimate of success- and follow through rates. Finally, interviews were conducted with coordinators of four postgraduate programmes at different departments in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Stellenbosch. Results show that the nature of postgraduate studies at the University follows the same form of dynamics, diversity and complexity that characterizes postgraduate studies worldwide. Although there has been an exceptional increase in the number of postgraduate students over the past decade, completion rates have stayed the same. This increase in numbers places enormous additional administrative, academic and managerial demands on the University. Although postgraduate students (both completed and current students) seem to have a general positive perception of the University, its academic and administrative services as well as the quality of postgraduate supervision, there are certain aspects that can still be improved upon. For example: the University has to realize that although the completion rates of postgraduate students have reasonably stayed the same over the last decade, the number of students who did not complete increased with almost 50%. The University has to put structures in place in order to cope with the increasing demands these students are placing on administration, departments and supervisors. Also, although it seems as if the University are open to the trends in higher education, they are not totally geared for part-time and non-resldentlal students. All four programmes in the Arts Faculty were initiated by individual academics within the departments. In terms of managing postgraduate students within departments, it seems that greater standardization regarding aspects of admission, administrative support, requirements for research proposals, examination and guidelines for the research components are needed. Supervisors and students both need to know what is expected from them. In terms of the supervisory process, supervisors must have guidelines in terms of what their responsibilities are and they have to realize the importance of their task. Students need to be informed about their rights and the whole process of postgraduate studies. Overall, it is the responsibility of the University, together with its postgraduate students and supervisors to ensure that the process of postgraduate studies is characterized by success, effectiveness and efficiency.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Veranderende omstandighede en nuwe beleldsmaatreels maak dit noodsaaklik dat Hoer Onderwysinrigtings deurentyd besin oor aile aspekte van hul missies en funksies. Resente globale en nasionale tendense het verreikende implikasies vir verskeie aspekte van die universiteitswese, waarvan die gevolge vir die onderrigtaak, en in besonder nagraadse onderrig, van besondere belang is. Oproepe tot deursigtigheid, gekoppel aan die imperatief tot doeltreffendheid, is alles faktore wat universiteite tot besinning dwing. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die historiese en huidige tendense en patrone in nagraadse studie aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch te skets asook om vas te stel wat is die bemiddelende en belemmerende faktore wat nagraadse studie by die Universiteit kenmerk. Daar is besluit om te fokus op beide afgestudeerde studente (vanaf 1991 tot 1999) asook huidige studente (ingeskryf in die jaar 2000). Verder is "nagraads" gedefinieer as verwysende na aile meesters en doktorale studente by die Universiteit van Stellenbosch. Die empiriese navorsing vir hierdie studie bestaan uit drie komponente. Eerstens is twee posopnames in 2000 uitgevoer om "n verteenwoordigende steekproef van nagraadse studente aan die Universiteit se persepsies rakende hul nagraadse studie te toets. Verder is daar "n sekondere analise uitgevoer van bestaande data op die Universiteit se databasis vir nagraadse studente spesifiek met die doel om sukses- en deurvloeikoerse van nagraadse studente te bepaal. Laastens is onderhoude gevoer met koordineerders van vier nagraadse programme aan verskillende departemente binne die Fakulteit Lettere en Wysbegeerte. Die resultate toon dat die aard van nagraadse studie aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch dieselfde mate van dinamika, toenemende diversiteit en gepaardgaande kompleksiteit weerspleel as wat nagraadse studies wereldwyd kenmerk. Alhoewel daar "n buitengewone toename in nagraadse studentegetalle aan die Universiteit oor die afgelope dekade was, het die voltooiingskoerse van studente dieselfde gebly. Hierdie toename in getalle plaas geweldige ekstra administratiewe, akademiese en bedryfseise aan die Universiteit. Alhoewel nagraadse studente (beide afgestudeerd sowel as huidig) in die algemeen "n positiewe persepsie van die Universiteit, sy akadernlese en administratiewe dienste, sowel as die kwaliteit van nagraadse studieleiding blyk te he, is daar enkele sake waarop verbeter kan word. 50 byvoorbeeld moet die Universiteit besef dat alhoewel voltooiingskoerse konstant gebly het, het die getal van nagraadse studente wat nie voltooi nie, met ongeveer 50% gestyg. Die Universiteit moet strukture in plek stel om te kan voldoen aan die toenemende eise wat sy nagraadse studente aan administrasie, departemente en studieleiers stel. Alhoewel die Universiteit oop blyk te wees vir nuwe tendense in hoer onderwys, blyk dit dat hy nog nie heeltemal gerat is vir deeltydse studente en nle-resldenslele studente nie. AI vier die programme in die Fakulteit Lettere en Wysbegeerte het ontwikkel uit individuele akademici binne departemente. In terme van die bestuur van nagraadse studente binne departemente, is groter standardisasie van aspekte rakende toelating, administratiewe ondersteuning, vereistes rondom navorsingsvoorstelle, eksaminering en riglyne vir die navorsingskomponent van nagraadse studies nodig. Beide studieleiers en studente moet besef wat van hulle verwag word. In terme van die proses van studieleiding, moet studieleiers oor riglyne beskik van hulle verantwoordelikhede en verder moet die belangrikheid van die taak besef word. 5tudente moet ingelig word oor hulle regte en die proses van nagraadse studie. Die Universiteit, tesame met sy nagraadse studente en studieleiers, moet verseker dat die proses van nagraadse studies gekenmerk word deur sukses, effektiwiteit en doeltreffendheid.

Abstract:

The main aim of higher education goal is well educated society and personalities with capacious mind and orientation to knowledge and cultural values. The alterations of ourdays society determinate rethinking of education conception and therefore reform of system of higher education. The dynamic development of information technologies changing the usual lifestyle is intensively creating new opportunities for life long learning and for person to learn at any stage of his age in any geographical place. The goal of this final master thesis is to analyse the motivation of postgraduate studies. During data collecting period the applicants for master studies (n=227) from Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education, Kaunas University of Technology and Klaipeda University were interviewed. According this study respondents prefer the university which awarded bachelor’s degree for master studies to another university. Studies in master programs are motivated mainly by prospect of future job and improving professional skills.

A worldwide concern are focusing on the quality of postgraduate training in higher education institutions, the length of time it takes postgraduate students to complete their studies, and the high percentage of postgraduate students who terminate there studies. Furthermore the involvement in research is making increasing quality demands on higher education institutions in terms of sustaining high-level research capability and involvement on an efficient and effective basis. It is clear that the postgraduate environment will have certain expectations as well as obstacles for the students and therefore if the undergraduate students are prepared beforehand for the postgraduate environment, they will be able to bridge the gap between undergraduate and postgraduate studies more successfully.

Abstract:

Magister Artium (Psychology) - MA(Psych)
Postgraduate students are assumed to develop the capacity to conduct research independently and to evaluate their own work as internal supervisors through the process of thesis supervision. Research capacity building amongst postgraduate students is evidenced by the successful completion of degree requirements or graduation, but student retention and throughput is a problem. The study aimed to establish an evidence base of filtered information on interventions addressing the successful completion of thesis requirements in postgraduate students. The study design entailed a systematic review that explored published findings about research reporting on capacity building strategies and initiatives respectively. The researcher made the following ethical considerations namely, transparency, non-bias during data extraction and using two independent reviewers to assist the principle researcher and avoidance of plagiarism as the proposed study is project based and a collaborative process, which are essential when using a systematic review approach. The proposed study forms part of a larger parent study, which aims to identify factors that facilitate or hinder research capacity development in postgraduate students and new academics. The present study used an adaptation of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses (PRISMA) statement, which is aimed at improving the reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analysis. Extracted data were subjected to a meta-synthesis, which included descriptive meta-synthesis and theory-explicative meta-synthesis. Eight articles were identified as good quality articles based on methodological rigour. The good quality research identified 1) high quality supervision, 2) faculty modelling, 3) support and 4) protected research time as effective strategies or interventions that stimulate successful completion of the thesis requirement. The use of appropriate theoretical frameworks in understanding supervision was identified as integral to effective strategies. Limitations of the study were identified and recommendations for future research were provided.

Abstract:

The Regional Maritime University (RMU) Ghana, pays between $5,000 and $8,000 in annual subscription for e-resources with the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Ghana (CARLIGH) to support postgraduate studies and lecturers. However, statistics from the library and library research rooms indicate very low use of the e-resources by postgraduate students and lecturers. This study is therefore set to address the problem of low patronage of the e-resources. The study aimed at finding what library e-resources and services could be provided by the RMU library to enable postgraduate studies. The main research tool that was used to collect data was a questionnaire with both closed and open-ended questions. The total population for this study was 25 postgraduate students and five lecturers. Thirty (30) copies of the questionnaire were distributed to postgraduate students and their lecturers at the department of ports and shipping administration with a response rate of 66.66%. Undergraduate students were excluded from this study. The study revealed that the RMU library has enough e-resources to support both academic and research work and this is known to the majority (75%) of the respondents who use them occasionally. The main reasons for the occasional use of the e-resources were lack of user-education, user-training and lack of off-campus access to fully put the resources to maximum use. Apart from the study suggesting an extensive user education and awareness creation initiative, it also recommends the rolling out of new user services to enhance usage of the e-resources.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this research report I have argued that postgraduate student retention and completion rates in nursing education can be enhanced by attending to the following actions: increased institutional support, initiating students into an ethics of care, and engaging students and lecturers in some form of dialogical communication. In order to ensure that students do not prematurely depart from their programme of study, I have shown that it is not sufficient to offer merely institutional (mostly administrative) support to students, but also cultivating caring and dialogical communication in teaching and learning activities. My argument in defence of caring and dialogical communication is corroborated by an empirical investigation which confirms students’ non-completion and retention in the non-clinical postgraduate nursing education programmes offered by Stellenbosch University’s Nursing Division in 2008.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie navorsingsverslag het ek geargumenteer dat die nagraadse studentebehoud- en voltooiingkoerse in verpleegonderwys versnel kan word deur aandag aan die volgende aksies te skenk: toenemende institusionele ondersteuning, inisi¸ring van ’n etiek van omgee ten opsigte van studente en die betrokkenheid van studente en dosente in ’n vorm van dialogiese kommunikasie. Om te verhoed dat studente nie voortydig die studieprogram verlaat nie, het ek aangedui dat dit nie voldoende is om slegs institusionele (meesal administratiewe) ondersteuning aan studente te verskaf nie, maar ook om ’n kultuur te skep van omgee en dialogiese kommunikasie in onderrig- en leeraktiwiteite. My argument ter stawing van omgee en dialogiese kommunikasie word ondersteun deur ‘n empiriese ondersoek van studente se nie-voltooiings- en retensiekoerse in die nie-kliniese nagraadse onderwysprogramme wat deur Universiteit Stellenbosch se Verpleegkunde-afdeling in 2008 aangebied is.

As libraries are in the transition of moving from print to electronic resources, the purpose of the study was to investigate the use and value of library's e-resources by academics and postgraduates at Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT). There is evidence from previous studies that today's users have their information needs met via a number of options. They need not physically come to the library; they can stay at home or at their offices to access e-resources. The study focused on the use and value of the library's e-resources in two departments (Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering) in the Faculty of Engineering. The main aim was to determine whether academics and postgraduates use e-resources, the purpose for which they used e-resources in the process of teaching, learning and research, the extent to which they were aware of the e-resources, the value they regarded as the benefit from using e-resources and the problems they encountered in their use of e-resources. The study population consisted of 251 academics and postgraduates. A questionnaire was used as data collection instrument. The questionnaire was distributed to 82 academics, 135 MTech and 34 DTech students. The results of the study are based on the data from 60 returned questionnaires from academics and postgraduates. The study found that the majority of the respondents used e-resources, but a few respondents did not use e-resources because they were not aware of them. Respondents who used e-resources used them for a variety of purposes, including gathering information for a specific topic; doing literature reviews, getting answers to specific questions, and gaining general information. The study also encountered respondents who had problems when using e-resources. These problems included internet connections, slow downloading of articles; time constraints and the need for training in the use of e-resources. The majority of respondents from the study thought that they benefited from using the library's e-resources.

Abstract:

There has been a movement across South Africa's education sector to widen access and participation in higher education (HE). Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) programmes offer an opportunity to do so by providing access to HE to those who do not necessarily have the prerequisite requirements. There is still much to learn regarding RPL programmes and the unique needs and challenges of RPL students, as most of these programmes are still in the pilot stage. This study is specifically concerned with the transition of RPL students into postgraduate HE, as little research has been conducted on this topic. To gain a deeper understanding of RPL student transition, the researcher followed a case-study approach in which the experiences of RPL students enrolled in an online postgraduate diploma programme in management in marketing (PgDipMM) at a South African university were investigated. The programme piloted a novel RPL assessment and selection process which aimed to address criticisms of previous models. Qualitative data was obtained through eight open-ended, in-depth interviews with RPL students enrolled in the programme. Using a thematic analysis approach, nine key themes were identified as possible mechanism that facilitated RPL students' successful transition into the postgraduate diploma and six themes that did not. Findings indicated that, to a large extent, the novel RPL assessment and selection process appeared to have facilitated RPL students' successful transition into a postgraduate diploma through technical preparation and building students' confidence in their abilities. Possible enablers and barriers to RPL students' successful transition were also identified and discussed. In short, the enablers included learner maturity, transference of prior knowledge and skills, social support, sense of belonging, access to effective resources and financial security. Conversely, the barriers included academic difficulties, under preparedness for the intensity of HE and time restrictions. The study had theoretical and practical implications in that it contributed to our understanding of RPL student transition to HE and provided suggestions for ways in which their successful transition can be facilitated

Abstract:

Design management has not previously been taught in China and the courses are largely ‘imported’ from the west. The transfer of knowledge to a culturally different context must consider a range of aspects which impact upon design management education. This research study aims to conduct an intensive investigation into the transferability of postgraduate design management education (Pg DME) system and programmes from the UK to China. The key objectives are to identify key issues of design management knowledge and its education in a Chinese context; and understand the impact of findings on the interaction in Chinese social, industrial and educational environments. The following areas were reviewed to inform the key theoretical context of Pg DME development in China: 1) the essential issues of knowledge transfer; 2) the theory of design and design management; and 3) the strategic content of design management education and its implications. Through the literature review, the themes of the research were finally indentified: differences in culture, economic drivers and education systems make the transfer complex, thus requiring interpretation as well as translation in Chinese Pg DME 1) policy making; 2) curriculum development; and 3) teaching & learning strategies. This research project is based upon an innate belief in the subjective nature of reality from within the interpretive paradigm. Therefore the research is exploratory with an inductive approach. The 3-phased multi-method comparative research study includes a design management 1) education related policy study; 2) curriculum development study; and 3) is comprised of 18 semi-structured qualitative interviews; providing three distinct but comparable data sets, allowing investigation of the research objective from strategic, tactical and operational perspectives. Models have also been developed in this study, where each level has been designated an essential framework for the healthy development of Pg DME in China. The main findings of the research study highlight Pg DME as an enabling discipline where the needs to be satisfied are internal to the design manager and external to the market and social environment. This necessitates consideration of the appropriate level of understanding of culture background; business & market awareness; and professional practice under the influence of globalisation and knowledge transfer for the society; industries; HEIs; academics and students. It also provides a deeper understanding of cultural aspects of design management provision, enabling the understanding of knowledge transfer, curricula, and teaching & learning across cultural borders.

Abstract:

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo determinar as características da pesquisa científica em contabilidade e controladoria, por meio da análise das dissertações e teses produzidas nos programas stricto sensu no Brasil, no período de 2007 a 2009. No período analisado foram produzidos 757 trabalhos, sendo 719 dissertações e 38 teses, que constitui-se como universo para este estudo. A amostra refere-se a 645 estudos, o que representa 85% do total, divididos em 38 teses e 607 dissertações. O problema de pesquisa está delimitado em torno da contribuição da pesquisa dos programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu para a promoção da evolução do conhecimento científico. Utilizando a técnica bibliométrica de análise de coocorrência de palavra (co word analysis) foi realizado um mapeamento das teses e dissertações defendidas nos programas, a fim de conhecer a trajetória, os temas, as bases de dados mais utilizadas nos estudos empíricos, os setores da economia abrangidos pelas pesquisas e se há, nas instituições, indícios de institucionalização da pesquisa. O conceito institucionalização está relacionado à ciência da informação (WITHLEY, 1980), que determina que as estruturas formais e informais estabelecidas em um campo de estudos orientam e legitimam as atividades de pesquisa. Foram identificadas as frentes de pesquisa em educação e pesquisa em contabilidade na UniFecap, estrutura e custo de capital na FEARP, conteúdo informacional na FEA-SP e UNB. A área de maior concentração foi controladoria e contabilidade com 40,2% de estudos, cujos temas controle gerencial nas organizações e controladoria aplicada à gestão pública foram as mais frequentes. A segunda área foi contabilidade para usuários externos e finanças, representando 30,10%, que evidenciou os temas contabilidade socioambiental, com foco em disclosure ambiental e contabilidade tributária. As pesquisas em mercado financeiro, de crédito e capitais representaram 21,9% com temas voltados à evidenciação, conteúdo da informação contábil e mensuração e, por fim, os estudos voltados para educação e pesquisa em contabilidade representaram 7,9% das defesas no período com foco na formação profissional. As fontes de dados mais utilizadas foram os dados das empresas de capital aberto e da administração pública em todas as esferas. Os setores mais abrangidos, além do público e empresas de capital aberto foram as indústrias e universidades. Nesse ambiente foi identificada a tendência de estudos com abordagem gerencial. Foram concedidas 56 bolsas, sendo três bolsas CNPq concedidas à USP. As demais foram concedidas pela CAPES. O sul recebeu 47% dos auxílios, o sudeste 37%, o centro oeste 12% e o nordeste 3,57%. A UNISINOS recebeu o maior volume de auxílios (21,43%), seguido pela USP SP (14,14%) e UFPR (12,50%).
This study aimed to determine the characteristics of scientific research in accounting and controlling, through the analysis of dissertations and thesis produced by Stricto Sensu programs in Brazil, in the 2007-2009 period, when 757 works were produced, of which 719 dissertations and 38 thesis, which constitutes our research universe. The sample refers to 645 studies, which represents 85% of the total thesis divided into 38 thesis and 607 lectures. The research problem is defined around the contribution of the research programs of post-graduate programs for the promotion and development of scientific knowledge. Using the technique of bibliometric analysis of co word analysis, was built a mapping of thesis and dissertations in the programs, in order to meet the trend, the themes, the databases most used in empirical studies, the sectors of economy covered by the research and if there are evidences of research institutionalization. The concept of institutionalization is related to the Science Information (WITHLEY, 1980) , which states that the formal and informal structures established in a study field guide and legitimate research activities. Were identified research fronts in education and research in accounting at UniFecap, structure and cost of capital in FEARP, informational content in FEA - SP and UNB. The area of highest concentration was \"controlling and accounting\" with 40.2% of study subjects whose \"management control in organizations\" and \"controller applied to public administration\" themes were more frequent. The second one was \"accounting and finance for external users\", representing 30.10%, which showed the \"environmental accounting\", with a focus on environmental disclosure and tax accounting, as an important research area. The researches in the \"financial market\", \"credit\" and \"capital\" accounted 21.9% of topics related to the disclosure evidences, contents of information and accounting measurement and, finally, the studies focused on education and accounting research represented 7.9% of the defenses in the period focusing on vocational training. The data sources used were the data of public companies and public administration at all levels. The sectors covered, in addition to public and publicly traded companies, were the industries and universities. In this environment was identified trend studies managerial approach. Were awarded 56 scholarships, witch three was CNPq granted to USP. CAPES granted the others. The South region of the country received 47% of aid , Southeast 37%, and 12% for Midwest and Northeast got 3.57% . The UNISINOS received the most of aid (21.43 %), followed by USP-SP (14.14 %) and UFPR (12.50%).

Abstract:

A história da humanidade encontra-se fortemente entrelaçada aos avanços na produção do conhecimento. Neste entorno, o século XXI transcorre em um cenário que têm desafiado as comunidades científicas; conduzindo-as à reflexão acerca do modelo hegemônico que dirige a Ciência Moderna. Visando a superar tais desafios, emerge a perspectiva interdisciplinar, direcionada à produção de um conhecimento inovador, ao alimentar-se pela articulação de diferentes olhares. Neste contexto, a universidade como locus privilegiado de produção de conhecimento têm a sua frente políticas que a induzem a novos compromissos; dentre os quais, a adesão à interdisciplinaridade no âmbito da pós-graduação, que tem no Plano Nacional de Pós-Graduação - PNPG 2011-2020 grande força indutora. Essa questão implica mudanças institucionais, visto que toca em quadros de referência que remetem ao conhecimento disciplinar. É nesse âmbito que a cultura organizacional adentra no tema. Esta tese tem como objetivo central compreender as significações de interdisciplinaridade na pesquisa, construídas na cultura organizacional de uma universidade pública. O foco de análise privilegia os valores organizacionais e as práticas sociais de pesquisa conduzidas junto ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Memória Social e Patrimônio Cultural – PPGMP. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que se assenta em um estudo de caso (YIN, 2001). Para tanto, optou-se por realizar a leitura da cultura organizacional sob três prismas: integração, diferenciação e fragmentação (MARTIN, FROST, 2001). A coleta de dados envolveu entrevistas aplicadas a dirigentes/gestores docentes e discentes. A análise foi conduzida à luz da análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 1979). Resultados indicaram como inibidores à interdisciplinaridade, o individualismo, a estrutura dispersa, a cooperação restrita aos grupos, os favoritismos e privilégios. Como indutores à interdisciplinaridade, constataram-se valores e práticas recentes. Democracia e igualdade de oportunidades vêm sendo materializadas nas discussões quanto às diretrizes norteadoras da instituição. Editais internos buscam superar o favoritismo. Reuniões itinerantes e integração de eventos têm promovido aproximação propícia ao diálogo. A partir de tal análise, foi possível constatar como significações de interdisciplinaridade na pesquisa, na cultura organizacional da UFPel: inexistência de uma política institucional; iniciativas individuais direcionam a pós-graduação; dificuldade de interação e construção coletiva, interdisciplinaridade prejudicada pelo individualismo; titulação que impõe limites; falta de visão de coletividade; falta de espírito de equipe e de práticas de construção coletiva, bem como avanços institucionais, (integração). Significações comuns apenas dentro de grupos específicos (diferenciação): desafio (docentes), liberdade de adesão e responsabilidade pela operacionalização (docentes), PDI como avanço (gestores) interdisciplinaridade dificultada por questões administrativas (docentes), incerteza conferida pelo título” (discentes); degrau à pós-graduação disciplinar (discentes); pesquisador “menos dono do conhecimento” (docentes); preconceito (discentes). E, como significações partilhadas temporariamente entre indivíduos (fragmentação): liberdade de adesão (gestores/ docentes); interdisciplinaridade necessita de disciplinaridade profunda (docentes/discentes); silenciamento da UFPel (gestores/docentes); cooperação restrita aos guetos (gestores/ docentes); dificuldades provenientes do fator tempo (docentes/discentes). Com este trabalho pretendeu-se contribuir com uma lacuna, no que diz respeito aos estudos ligados à interdisciplinaridade junto à pós-graduação, sobretudo, ao adotar-se uma leitura sob o prisma da cultura organizacional – importante diferencial desta tese, que busca suprir a carência de estudos e pesquisas em âmbito nacional e internacional.
The history of mankind is strongly intertwined to advances in the production of knowledge. In this environment, the 21st century takes place in a scenario, which have challenged the scientific communities; leading them to reflection about the model that drives modern science. In order to overcome such challenges, interdisciplinary perspective, directed at production of innovative knowledge, to feed the articulation of different looks. In this context, the University as a privileged locus of knowledge production has at its front policies that induce on new commitments; among them, joining the interdisciplinarity within the postgraduate, which has the National Plan of Postgraduate - NPOP 2011-2020 strength-inducing. This question involves institutional changes, since it touches on frames of reference which refer to disciplinary knowledge. It is in this context that the organizational culture enters the theme. This thesis aims to understand the central meanings of interdisciplinarity in research, built on the organizational culture of a public University. The focus of analysis privileges on the organizational values and social practices of research by the Graduate Program in Social Memory and Cultural Heritage - GPSMCH. It is a qualitative research, which is based on a case study (YIN, 2001). Thus, when, it was decided to carry out the reading of the organizational culture under three prisms: integration, differentiation and fragmentation (MARTIN, FROST, 2001). Data collection interviews to directors/managers, professor and students. The analysis was conducted in the light of the content analysis (BARDIN, 1979). Several aspects of organizational culture act as inhibitors to interdisciplinarity, the individualism, the dispersed structure, cooperation restricted to groups, the favorites and privileges. As inductors to interdisciplinarity has been recent values and practices. Such as democracy and equality of opportunity, has been materialized in the discussions as the main guidelines of the institution. Internal edicts to overcome the cronyism. Itinerant meetings and event integration have promoted the approach for dialogue. From such analysis, it was possible to see how meanings of interdisciplinarity in research on organizational culture from UFPel: lack of an institutional policy; individual initiatives lead to postgraduate; difficulty of interaction and collective construction, interdisciplinarity impaired by individualism; titration imposing limits; lack of a vision of collective; lack of team spirit and collective construction practices, as well as institutional advances (integration). Common meanings just within specific groups (differentiation): challenge (professors), freedom and responsibility for operationalizing (professors), IDP as (managers) interdisciplinarity hindered by administrative matters (professors), uncertainty conferred by title (students); step posgraduate school discipline (students); researcher "least owner of knowledge" (professors); prejudice (students). And, how shared meanings between individuals temporarily (fragmentation): freedom of membership (managers and professors); Interdisciplinarity needs a deep disciplinarity (professors and students); silencing by the UFPel (managers and professors); cooperation restricted to ghettos (managers and professors); hampered from the time factor (professors and students). With this work was to contribute a gap with regard to studies related to interdisciplinarity by the postgraduate school, in particular, to adopt a reading under the prism of organizational culture - key differentiator of this thesis, which seeks to make up for the lack of studies and research in national and international scope.

Full text

Abstract:

Human Resource Management (HRM) is a contested academic discipline and professional space, in which mid‐career entry is not uncommon, and where study and professional membership are often key to career advancement. Subsequently, engagement with study while working full‐time occurs frequently, commonly at postgraduate level. However, understanding of the student‐practitioner experience is limited due to recognised gaps around research of part‐time, taught postgraduate and mature student experience. This is an odd omission given that it represents a potential growth area following recent funding changes. This study explores these experiences in the context of constellations and landscapes of practice, focussing on issues of social identity theory and academic literacies within them. Utilising Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to explore reflective accounts of the lived experiences of five practitioner‐students in one Higher Education (H.E.) Institution, the study used an innovative focus group approach, combined with semi‐structured interviews. Analysis was conducted through the development of case vignettes alongside thematic analysis supported through NVivo. For all participants studying occurred during career transition, with studying for additional qualifications intended to validate this transfer. However, in the wider personal context of career and family, study had significant impacts, with complex negotiations involved around obligations to family and employers. Participants legitimised their membership of HRM communities though their wider practice experience. Practice experience was also used to delineate between other members of both their academic and practice communities, with individuals who demonstrated experience given preference. Participants’ experience of education was characterised by comparisons between academic and practice communities, and negotiation of the boundaries between them was constant. Strength of practitioner identity affected alignment and approaches to studying. Engagement with discourse was also heavily influenced by dominant practitioner discourse patterns. This study offers insight into particular experiences of H.E. which may align to other niche student cohorts, and contributes to closing the gap around knowledge of part‐time, postgraduate and mature student experiences. It further adds to knowledge of communities of practice, constellations and landscapes and maps an example. It provides insight into how such students negotiate academic discourse engagement, and the impact balancing study with employment has on approaches to learning. Lastly, it applies this understanding to the support of practitioner‐students learning across academic‐practice boundaries, making recommendations to those facilitating these experiences.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores the motivations and lived experiences of Nigerian Christian women engaged in postgraduate studies in UK higher education based on 20 semi-structured interviews. For this group of women, their educational quest abroad is happening at the phase in the normative life course when they are expected by Nigerian society to be wives as well as mothers. Such cultural expectations carry social sanctions for non-conformity. This thesis investigates the immense social pressures the women come under as their educational achievements are not considered as important as the fulfillment of their social roles in their home country, and the strategies/negotiations they engage in to gain and maintain support for their educational pursuit. Being that they are studying and living in an egalitarian society like the UK, the thesis also examines why the women remain attached to Nigerian patriarchal values. Using empirical data, the thesis attempts to challenge and critique the current debates on international student migration that portray it as an individualized process and international student migrants as a homogenous group. It argues that the participants’ motivations and migration experiences are gendered and embedded in social relationships and processes. Furthermore, the thesis claims that the set of women interviewees are not just engaged in academic study alone as the literatures tend to portray international student migrants, they are also family members (wives/mothers/daughters) and workers, who consciously juggle their multiple roles in an order that seems to prioritize their social roles above the rest. The thesis asserts that the women are not victims; rather they are agentic beings whose compliant attitudes to patriarchal gender structures and roles are rooted in their religious and cultural beliefs.

Abstract:

South Africa does not produce enough Doctoral graduates each year compared to other developed and developing countries. There are also too few Black and female graduates. Black postgraduates are particularly underrepresented in psychology in South Africa. This is problematic for future knowledge producers. Gender, race, age, marital status, institutional and socioeconomic issues, and academic performance play a role in progression to postgraduate studies. The current study aimed to explore: (a) the demographic and academic characteristics of a cohort of Psychology Honours students at the University of Cape Town; (b) whether there was an association between gender and enrolling or not enrolling in postgraduate studies; (c) whether there was an association between race and enrolling or not enrolling in postgraduate studies; (d) whether there was an association between academic performance and enrolling or not enrolling in postgraduate studies; (e) what students' reasons were for deciding to enroll or not to enroll in postgraduate degrees after Honours.

Esta pesquisa aborda o processo inovativo no Programa de Pós-Graduação Multi-Institucional em Biotecnologia (PPGBIOTEC), coordenado pela Universidade Federal do Amazonas (UFAM). A inovação tem sido bastante estudada nas últimas décadas, no Brasil a formulação de políticas públicas e o envolvimento crescente do setor produtivo tem sido estimulada pelo govern. Todavia, isto ainda não tem sido suficiente para reduzir a grande lacuna entre os objetivos e resultados das pesquisas desenvolvidas no âmbito acadêmico e a consequente transferência desse conhecimento para o mercado, que resulte em inovações de maior valor e qualidade. Isto tem se revelado também nas pesquisas realizadas no âmbito do PPGBIOTEC que embora já apresente uma produção científica considerável, tem exibido reduzidos exemplos de registros de propriedade industrial e a inexistência de transferência de tecnologia para o mercado. Esta pesquisa busca assim analisar o processo inovativo e seus impactos na geração de inovação no PPGBIOTEC. A relevância desta pesquisa na inovação como elemento essencial na valorização e competitividade de produtos e processos; o papel do PPGBIOTEC na formação de pessoal qualificado; e seus objetivos em produzir processos e produtos inovadores. Para a realização da pesquisa, além da revisão bibliográfica, foi adotado o Método Misto, que combina vários métodos ao integrar dados qualitativos e quantitativos: Pesquisa Documental, Entrevistas e Questionários. Os dados apresentados destacam, especialmente, os percentuais obtidos com as questões inseridas nos questionários e classificadas em dimensões interna e externa do PPGBIOTEC, organizados posteriormente em pontos fortes e fracos, ameaças e oportunidade com a aplicação da técnica SWOT, por ser a mais utilizada na Metodologia de Formulação por Objetivos que foi empregada na análise do diagnóstico organizacional do ambiente inovativo do PPGBIOTEC. Entre os resultados mais significativos o estudo revelou algumas fragilidades no processo inovativo: o pouco conhecimento por parte dos atores sobre os atuais mecanismos institucionais de apoio à inovação, e a baixa cooperação e proximidade com o setor produtivo. No grupo de docentes que responderam ao questionário (18 professores) 50% tem atuação na área de concentração de Biotecnologias para a saúde, 22,2% na área de biotecnologias para a área agroflorestal e 27,8% na área de gestão da inovação. No grupo de docentes os fatores positivos que podemos observar é a familiaridade dos mesmos a respeito da maioria dos conceitos relacionados à inovação. Observa-se, porém que os docentes têm menos familiaridade sobre aspectos com conceito de incubação de empresas (média 3,9), legislação de apoio à inovação e política de apoio ao setor biotecnológico (média 3,7). Observa-se, porém, que quando se trata do acesso aos conhecimentos gerados no Programa (Teses, dissertações, artigos etc.), a maioria discorda que este acesso seja fácil (média 3,38), da mesma forma como afirmam não conhecer completamente as pesquisas e projetos com potencial para novos processos ou produtos que estão sendo desenvolvidos no PPGBIOTEC, estes dados revelam a necessidade de melhorar a forma de disponibilização das informações relativas ao Programa. Já no grupo de discentes e egressos (63 pessoas) quando consultados se havia faltado algum tipo de equipamento durante o desenvolvimento de suas teses 57.1% afirmou que não e 74,6% do grupo também afirmou que já havia utilizado infraestrutura das instituições parceiras, o que indica dois cenários favoráveis. Um dado preocupante é que mais da metade dos respondentes (55,6%) nunca havia ouvido falar da PROTEC, 47,6% do grupo não conhecia nenhuma incubadora com atuação na área biotecnológica, 81,0%, afirmou nunca ter gerado produtos e processos, transferido tecnologia ou gerado negócios na área biotecnológica e 69,8% nunca participaram de trabalhos desenvolvidos com o apoio da iniciativa privada, mas a grande maioria, contudo, destaca-se que 90,5%, demonstra ter interesse em fazê-lo

Bibliography
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: During the past number of years, the pressure on universities worldwide, including universities in South Africa, has increased to bridge the gap between higher education and society. This includes becoming active partners with its communities. Therefore, the importance of community engagement as one of the three pillars of higher education, alongside teaching and learning, and research, has gained considerable momentum. Higher education institutions in South Africa are also increasingly challenged to elevate the status of their teaching and to raise their levels of community engagement. This also pertains to the area of postgraduate education, which points to the need for a close relationship between teaching, learning and research. The aim of this study was to develop a contextualised and integrated curriculum framework for community-engaged teaching, learning and research in a postgraduate Play Therapy programme. This was done using a contextualised perspective on higher education with reference to current higher education legislation in South Africa as well as curriculum development in general. A literature review of community engagement provided a perspective on the current state of community engagement - nationally, as well as internationally. The study used a qualitative single case study design and an interpretive paradigm to generate empirical data. The first phase of the empirical part of the study focused on determining the current state of community engagement within the postgraduate Play Therapy programme. Data was generated using questionnaires completed by current students and lecturers. In the second phase of the empirical study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with lecturers from 13 national as well as international higher education institutions to review curriculum frameworks and content from other higher education community engagement models. The last empirical phase included two focus groups, one with current students and one with current lecturers in the postgraduate Play Therapy programme under investigation. From the findings of the study, a curriculum framework emerged which outlines community engagement within the postgraduate programme. The emerging framework points to the need for a stronger integration of teaching and learning with community engagement (service component) through service learning. In the South African context and within the programme that was investigated, service learning provides for engaged learning which includes experiential learning and opportunities for students to engage in interactive and experiential processes. The study has also pointed out that research within the postgraduate programme should reflect, in a much stronger way, links to community-based research. Such links may benefit a scholarship of engagement. Also, the research component of the programme needs to be linked more closely to teaching and learning in order to better inform the curriculum in terms of trends, needs and priorities. These activities need to take place within community partnerships with a reciprocal benefit to both the programme and the communities involved.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Universiteite wêreldwyd, asook in Suid-Afrika, het gedurende die afgelope paar jaar druk ervaar om die gaping tussen hoër onderwys en die gemeenskap te verminder. Dit sluit in om aktiewe vennote van gemeenskappe te word. Die belangrikheid van gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid as een van die drie pilare van hoër onderwys, saam met leer, onderrig en navorsing, het dus aansienlik toegeneem. Hoëronderwysinstansies in Suid-Afrika word ook uitgedaag om die stand van hul leer en onderrig te verhoog en die vlakke van hul gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid te versterk. Dit geld ook vir nagraadse opleiding, wat neerkom op 'n hegter verband tussen leer, onderrig en navorsing. Die doel van hierdie navorsing was om 'n gekontekstualiseerde en geïntegreerde kurrikulumraamwerk vir gemeenskapsgerigte leer, onderrig en navorsing binne 'n nagraadse program in Spelterapie te ontwikkel. Dit is gedoen deur 'n kontekstuele oorsig van hoër onderwys te gee met verwysing na die huidige hoëronderwys-wetgewing in Suid-Afrika asook 'n oorsig oor kurrikulumontwikkeling. 'n Literatuuroorsig van gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid het perspektief op die huidige stand van gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid landwyd én wêreldwyd verskaf. Hierdie studie berus op 'n kwalitatiewe enkelgevallestudie-ontwerp en benut 'n interpretatiewe paradigma om die empiriese data te genereer. Die eerste fase van die empiriese gedeelte van die studie was gerig op die bepaling van die huidige stand van gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid in die meestersprogram in Spelterapie. Data is gegenereer deur die gebruik van vraelyste wat deur huidige studente en dosente ingevul is. In die tweede fase van die empiriese studie is semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude met dosente van 13 nasionale asook internasionele hoëronderwysinstansies gevoer om die kurrikulumraamwerke en inhoud van ander hoër instansies se gemeenskaps-betrokkenheidsmodelle te verken. Die laaste empiriese fase sluit twee fokusgroepe in - een met huidige studente en een met huidige dosente in die meestersprogram in Spelterapie, wat die onderwerp van hierdie studie uitmaak. 'n Kurrikulumraamwerk het vanuit die bevindinge van die studie ontstaan wat 'n uiteensetting van gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid in die meestersprogram in Spelterapie verskaf. Die opkomende raamwerk dui op die behoefte aan sterker integrasie van leer en onderrig met gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid (dienskomponent) deur middel van diensleer. In die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks en in die program wat ondersoek is, bied diensleer die geleentheid vir betrokke leer wat die volgende insluit: ervaringsleer en geleenthede vir studente om betrokke te raak by interaktiewe ervaringsprosesse. Die studie het ook uitgewys dat navorsing in die meestersprogram op 'n baie sterker wyse die verband met gemeenskapsgerigte navorsing moet reflekteer. Hierdie konneksies kan ook die vakkundigheid van betrokkenheid versterk. Daarby moet die navorsingskomponent van die program nader aan leer en onderrig beweeg sodat die kurrikulum altyd die jongste tendense, behoeftes en prioriteite weerspieël. Hierdie aktiwiteite moet in gemeenskapsvennootskappe plaasvind om voordele vir die program sowel as die betrokke gemeenskappe te bied.

Abstract:

Magister Artium - MA (Psychology)
Honours students in Psychology typically form larger cohorts with numbers ranging from 20 to 40 students in comparison to other disciplines that have fewer than 10 students in a cohort. The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) requires Honours students to complete a thesis that is equivalent to 300 notional hours or 30 credits. The learning outcome is that students conduct low level research that prepares them for conceptualizing, executing and writing up a research project. The thesis requirement should also prepare them for future studies. The larger cohorts and revised NQF thesis requirement places increased pressure on the staff compliment of Psychology departments. Some of the ways in which departments have attempted to cope with this increased demand include conducting group-based research projects, and secondary research projects. One of the concerns raised is whether these particular types of methodology prepared students adequately for reactive research in further studies. This study aimed to explore students' subjective perceptions about the extent to which group-based systematic review methodology in the Honours year adequately prepared students for conducting research during their masters-level studies. An explorative study was conducted to explore the experiences of purposively selected recent graduates from two identified Honours programmes that have progressed to Masters level studies. Participants were invited on the basis of being graduates or alumni rather than their registration status as Masters students at particular universities.

Abstract:

This research aimed at understanding the reading practices of two groups of international postgraduate students across three semesters. The research was underpinned by a conceptual framework incorporating metacognitive concepts with framing theory. The methodology involved individual interviews using academic text and pair think-alouds followed by retrospective interviews using general-interest texts. The interviews and pair think-alouds took place at an Australian university with Thai and IndianBangladeshi postgraduate students and at university campuses in Thailand and India. The data selected from the interviews and pair think-alouds revealed significant changes in reading practices between first and third semester at an Australian university and the participants' awareness of these changes. The participants' reflections also provided some explanation for the differences in their cognitive and metacognitive strategy use. The research study was important because, at the postgraduate level, students are faced with complex text interpretation processes. International students, in addition, have to make a significant cultural/study shift; not only do they have to become accustomed to the reading of academic texts using discipline-specific patterns but often have to adjust to different conventions used by authors from cultural backgrounds other than their own. Little is known, in particular, about Thai and Indianmangladeshi postgraduate students' reading experiences in their own countries or how their reading practices change during study at an Australian university. The research findings suggest a dynamic, multi-dimensional, developmental framework for conceptualising international postgraduate students' reading practices in first semester at an Australian university, and the changes in reading practices and the educational and socio-cultural influences on these changes by third semester; the findings, in addition, can inform the debate on literacy levels in the cross-cultural academic environment and can contribute to discussions on such pedagogical issues as reforming of curricular structure, the internationalisation of curricula and the development of more culturally sensitive supervisory frameworks.

This research is part of the search line "Education, Subjects, Society, History of Education and Educational Public Policies", previously called "Public Policy and Education" from the Master Degree in Education UFVJM - UFVJM, and it has as main objective to analyze the integration of graduates of the university's graduate programs in the professional market as well as their trajectories and perceptions. The interest in the subject arose from my experience as an administrative technique located at the Pro Rectory of Research and Graduate Studies and the fact that this sector does not count in its physical or online collection with any data on the professional performance of graduate students and their integration into the labor market. The authors Cunha (2010), Saviani (2011), Dias Sobrinho (2004), Velloso (2003), Lousada and Martins (2005), Balbachevsky (2014) who relate the themes education and graduates, will guide this study. To enable the development of this research, I proposed to conduct a case study with descriptive and exploratory methodology, with qualitative approach, through a bibliographic study and interviews. As data collection source, it was used the official records of the university related to the students in question, and posteriorly, it was applied an online questionnaire. I sought the graduates insertion placement in the labor market and possible gaps in academic education. I believe that this research will be relevant to feed information on the university's database, as well as the community in general.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore academic learning experiences of students who have dropped out of postgraduate studies in a Higher Education Institution in Eastern Cape. The study employed phenomenological approach using unstructured in-depth interviews to collect data from participants who have dropped out of Masters Programme in HEI in Eastern Cape. Four participants participated in this study. A lot of themes emerged from what the participants reported and similar experiences were noted as well as different experiences. Central to what this study ascertained is the relationship between the supervisor and supervisee. From the findings of the study it can be ascertained that for any postgraduate student to succeed in his/her studies he / she needs a positive relationship with the supervisor who will play a role of guide, mentor, supporter and a friend. However, the academic preparedness of the students in terms of academic reading and writing, computer literacy and determination to be an independent researcher is also key. Whilst this study provides insight to what the students have experienced academically its findings cannot be generalised because the experiences are those of individuals.

Abstract:

This research, undertaken between 2004 and 2010, examines the progress of a single cohort of students on an undergraduate degree – the B.A. Educational Studies – at the University of Hull. It investigates their entry profiles, their progress on the degree and the impact their studies have had on their postgraduate lives. The research has been informed by a range of literature, most notably that of Archer et al. (2003), Thomas (2001), Wolf (2002) and Connor et al. (2006), in its examination of the policy and values underpinning education as a force for economic growth; widening participation; the impact of family background in relation to education; and the links between vocational and academic entry routes to higher education. The research has been set within a series of policy and value contexts, moving from the global to the national and finally to the local. The research combines quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate an overarching research question: How does the performance and experience of students on a B.A. Educational Studies degree relate to their prior qualifications and background? This has been done through an examination of seven key sub-questions: 1. What kinds of students are enrolled for an Educational Studies degree at the University of Hull? 2. Why do students apply to do an Educational Studies degree at the University of Hull? 3. Whom do Hull University admissions staff admit to an Educational Studies degree? 4. How do these students perform on the degree? 5. Do students with different entry profiles perform differently on the degree? 6. What are the students‟ eventual ambitions? Do these change, or stay the same? If they change, what leads to this? 7. How beneficial have the students‟ pre-university experiences been in preparing them for undergraduate study, postgraduate study/work? The outcome of the research shows that the students are predominantly young and female, living in or near to Hull. Applicants from traditional academic entry routes were accepted with a wider range of UCAS points than students from vocational entry routes, but both groups fared equally well on the degree, whatever the nature of their pre-entry qualifications or whichever subjects they studied beforehand. Mature students, in general, had higher achievement rates on the degree than younger students. In their early postgraduate lives, the students themselves perceived their pre-entry qualifications as having provided little benefit in preparing them for their undergraduate studies, but those with vocational qualifications had found these useful in their postgraduate studies and working lives. Later interviews suggested that these perceptions began to change once the former students were settled in careers. From the research, it emerges that – outwith the nature of students‟ entry qualifications – family background and teacher expectations have importance in determining the students‟ reasons for entering higher education. In addition, one of the most significant factors in their successfully gaining graduate jobs appears to have been students‟ access to work experience both before coming to university and during their time as undergraduates. The sample interviewed three years after graduation was able to reflect on their degree studies as having been a positive and personally fulfilling experience, a finding that relates to key literature underpinning the research.

Dissertation linked to the research line, Training, Teaching Professionalization and Educational Work of the Graduate Program in Education of the Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Goiás, a member of the Federal University of Goiás developed by the Network of Researchers on Teachers of the Center-West Region (REDECENTRO). Based on the dialectical historical materialist method and critical theoretical reference, a case study was developed on the conceptions of teacher training in the postgraduate context, with a qualitative approach, whose object of investigation are the discursive meanings produced by the students of the PPGE / UFG, on the conceptions of teacher education, and its relationship with the different epistemological, political and ideological positions that constitute the bases of foundation on the theme. We tried to answer the following questions: How did the process of implantation and expansion of the postgraduate course in Brazil consider the historical, social and political-ideological process? What are the conflicting conceptions surrounding the debate about teacher education? What are the discursive meanings about the conceptions of teacher education constructed by undergraduate students in the education presented in the dissertations and theses researched on the subject in the period from 2013 to 2016? What are the discursive meanings about conceptions of teacher formation produced by the students, considering the categories teacher training, epistemology and ideological political positioning? The corpus of the research consists of speeches of 24 students from the PPGE / UFG, who studied subjects related to the mentioned line, in the years 2015 to 2017/1. In order to achieve these objectives, the study of the historicity of the Brazilian postgraduate course was developed in the context of contemporary capitalism; as well as the historical development of university and teaching training; the documentary analysis was carried out in the selected databases, in the VI National Postgraduate Plan, in the PPGE / UFG regiment and in the course plans of the courses; and the analysis of students' discourses was carried out under the principles of Discourse Analysis Theory, having as reference the categories teacher formation, epistemology and political-ideological positioning, collected through questionnaire. We conclude from our investigation that the Brazilian postgraduate course, from its inception, had its objectives tied to the industrial development interests of the country, based on the Human Capital Theory. As for the documentary analysis of the data banks, it was verified that the subject has not been the recurring choice of post-graduate students and their supervisors for dissertations and dissertations. From the empirical research, it is confirmed that the attempts to construct counter-hegemonic paths, through the formation of intellectuals researchers and teachers, from the perspective of praxis, have predominated in this program. The course syllabuses of the disciplines offered by the Training, Professionalization and Educational Work line, were manifest in the senses of the program regiments, with repercussions in 75% of the participating students, who presented discursive meanings on the conceptions of teacher formation, based on the same epistemology and with the same political-ideological position: that of praxis. Throughout the course, a critical perspective was the indissociability between training, professionalization and teaching practice. It is argued that teacher training is conceived as Bildung, which does not dissociate theory and practice, given by and for work, conceived as a revolutionary praxis, practical-critical human activity, emancipating, constructing a human society, solidary and just.
Dissertação vinculada à linha de pesquisa Formação, Profissionalização Docente e Trabalho Educativo do Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação da Faculdade de Educação da Universidade da Federal de Goiás, integrante dos trabalhos desenvolvidos pela Rede de Pesquisadores sobre professores da região Centro–Oeste (REDECENTRO). Com base no método materialista histórico dialético, e referencial teórico crítico, desenvolveu-se um estudo de caso sobre as concepções de formação docente no contexto da pós-graduação, com uma abordagem qualitativa, cujo objeto de investigação são os sentidos discursivos produzidos pelos discentes do PPGE/UFG, sobre as concepções de formação docente, e sua relação com as distintas posições epistemológicas, políticas e ideológicas que constituem as bases de fundamentação sobre o tema. Procuramos responder às seguintes questões: Como se deu o processo de implantação e expansão da pós-graduação no Brasil considerando-se o processo histórico, social e político-ideológico? Quais as são as concepções em disputa em torno do debate sobre formação docente? Quais os sentidos discursivos sobre as concepções da formação docente construídas por discentes da pós-graduação strictu sensu em educação apresentados nas dissertações e teses pesquisadas sobre o tema no período de 2013 a 2016? Quais são os sentidos discursivos sobre concepções de formação docente produzidos pelos discentes, considerando-se as categorias formação docente, epistemologia e posicionamento político ideológico? O corpus da pesquisa constitui-se de discursos, de 24 discentes do PPGE/UFG, que cursaram disciplinas ligadas à linha citada, nos anos de 2015 a 2017/1. Para a consecução desses objetivos, desenvolveu-se o estudo da historicidade da pós-graduação brasileira, no contexto do capitalismo contemporâneo; bem como do desenvolvimento histórico da formação universitária e docente; procedeu-se à análise documental nos bancos de dados selecionados, no VI Plano Nacional da Pós-graduação, no regimento do PPGE/UFG e nos planos de cursos de disciplinas; e realizou-se a análise dos discursos dos discentes sob os princípios da Teoria da Análise de Discurso, tendo por referência as categorias formação docente, epistemologia e posicionamento político-ideológico, coletados via questionário. Concluímos por meio de nossa investigação, que a pós-graduação brasileira, desde seu início, teve seus objetivos atrelados aos interesses de desenvolvimento industrial do país, pautados na Teoria de Capital Humano. Quanto à análise documental aos bancos de dados, verificou-se que o tema não tem sido escolha recorrente dos pós-graduandos e de seus orientadores para a realização de dissertações e teses. A partir da pesquisa empírica, confirma-se que as tentativas de construir caminhos contra-hegemônicos, através da formação de intelectuais pesquisadores e docentes, na perspectiva da práxis, têm predominado nesse programa. Sendo manifestas nos sentidos dos discursos do regimento do programa, dos Planos de cursos das disciplinas ofertadas pela linha Formação, Profissionalização e Trabalho educativo, com repercussão nos 75% dos discentes participantes, que apresentaram sentidos discursivos sobre as concepções de formação docente, fundamentados na mesma epistemologia e com o mesmo posicionamento político-ideológico: o da práxis. Em todo percurso sustentou-se, numa perspectiva crítica, a indissociabilidade entre formação, profissionalização e prática docente. Defende-se que a formação docente seja concebida como Bildung, que não dissocia teoria e prática, dada pelo e para o trabalho, concebido como práxis revolucionária, atividade humana prático-crítica, emancipadora, construtora de uma sociedade humana, solidária e justa.

This study appeared linked to the Group for Study and Research on Popular Education, Social Services and Social Movements - GEPEDUPSS, which is articulated to the Department of Social Work at the Federal University of Paraíba - UFPB and the Post - Degree in Education from the same university. The study aimed to analyze the academic productions on Popular Education in post-graduate courses in Education of the Northeast region, and specific objectives, meet the prevailing and emerging approaches in the field of popular education, identifying and analyzing the objectives, theoretical framework, methodology and conclusions of this research, and examine whether these studies Popular Education is the object of study or secondary theme. To achieve this, the approach used was the qualitative quantity through a literature search. In this sense, the research proceeded as follows: first, we conducted a literature review about the master's theses and doctoral dissertations of Postgraduate Education in the Northeast region, which addressed the popular education, then select abstracts for later analysis. In the data analysis phase, we based on the content analysis technique elucidated by Bardin (1977). During the analysis of content, search passed over three chronological divisions: the pre-analysis, exploration of the material and finally the processing of results and interpretation. Therefore, we use as the main sources of data collection, the bank of CAPES portal theses, which has master's and doctoral productions from all over Brazil, 2010 to the present day, in addition to reports PIBIC's keys ( 2012), Sousa (2013; 2014), Santos (2014) and the Working Kiss of Course (2013). The main theorists who subsidize this study were: Demo (1995), Bardin (1977), Rabbit (2002), Brandão (1981; 2006), Beisiegel (1982; 1986), Bezerra (2001), Garcia (1980), Porto and Lage (1995), Scocuglia (2000), Haddad (200), among others. Finally, research has shown in its results that the 155 productions found, 74% treated Popular Education as a secondary issue, and 26% as a primary theme. Furthermore, we observed that the productions that addressed the Popular Education were articulated 45 different themes. We also found that 100 productions, 62% were concentrated in the critical theoretical framework (Freire). Given this, we assess that the Popular Education presents itself in many forms, so there is no unequivocal meaning to study it and even understand it.
O presente estudo surgiu vinculado ao Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Educação Popular, Serviço Social e Movimentos Sociais – GEPEDUPSS, o qual está articulado ao Departamento de Serviço Social da Universidade Federal da Paraíba – UFPB e a Pós- Graduação em Educação da mesma universidade. O estudo teve como objetivo geral, analisar as produções acadêmicas sobre Educação Popular nas pós-graduações em Educação da região Nordeste do país, e como objetivos específicos, conhecer as abordagens dominantes e emergentes na área da Educação Popular, identificando e analisando os objetivos, o referencial teórico, a metodologia e as conclusões dessas pesquisas, além de examinar se nesses estudos a Educação Popular é o objeto de estudo ou temática secundária. Para tal alcance, o tipo de abordagem utilizado foi o quanti- qualitativo por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica. Neste sentido, a pesquisa procedeu da seguinte forma: inicialmente, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico acerca das dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado das Pós-Graduações em Educação da região Nordeste, que abordavam a Educação Popular, em seguida, selecionamos os resumos para posterior análise. Na fase de análise dos dados, tomamos por base a técnica de análise de conteúdo elucidada por Bardin (1977). Durante a análise de conteúdo, a pesquisa perpassou por três polos cronológicos: a pré- análise, a exploração do material e por fim, o tratamento dos resultados obtidos e interpretação. Para tanto, utilizamos como fontes principais de coleta de dados, o banco de teses do portal da CAPES, o qual apresenta produções de mestrado e doutorado de todo o Brasil de 2010 até os dias atuais, além dos relatórios de PIBIC´s de Chaves (2012), Sousa (2013; 2014), Santos (2014) e o Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso de Kiss (2013). Os principais teóricos que subsidiaram esse estudo foram: Demo (1995), Bardin (1977), Coelho (2002), Brandão (1981; 2006), Beisiegel (1982; 1986), Bezerra (2001), Góes (1980), Porto e Lage (1995), Scocuglia (2000), Haddad (200), entre outros. Por fim, a pesquisa mostrou em seus resultados que das 155 produções encontradas, 74% trataram a Educação Popular como temática secundária, e 26% como temática primária. Ademais, observamos que as produções que abordavam a Educação Popular estavam articuladas a 45 temáticas distintas. Além disso, constatamos também que de 100 produções, 62% concentravam-se no referencial teórico crítico (freireano). Diante disto, aferimos que a Educação Popular se apresenta de múltiplas formas, assim, não há um sentido unívoco para se estuda-la e até mesmo compreendê-la.

This dissertation evaluated the perceptions of service quality according the master's students expectations. Students are from the Technology Center - CT of the Federal University of Paraíba, using the SERVQUAL model proposed by Parasuraman, Zeithaml e Berry (1985). It is a research of applied nature, qualitative-quantitative, descriptive, a survey. SERVQUAL measures the quality in 5 dimensions: tangibility, responsibility, reliability, empathy and guarantee, which have been adapted for the services associated with postgraduate courses. The sample consisted of 187 respondents studding in Civil Engineering, Production, Mechanical, Food, Chemical, Materials and Architecture and Urbanism posts. Through this research it was also possible to determine the profile of the students, research object, where 50.5% are male and 49.5% are female. Approximately 71% of the students devoted their time to other activities that are not part of the master's program, 75% of the students were within the regular time for completion of the master's degree. It was also identified that 75.9% had scholarship. Regarding the self-assessment of the same students, 75% of them consider their performance to be good, 12% say it is great and 13% as reasonable. Another data collected states that 50% of the students who are part of the sample of this research did not publish any article during the master's and 24% published only one article. The comparison between student satisfaction and attendance performance was made based on the responses obtained from the variables for the perceived service, expected service and the minimum acceptable service. With the quality perceived by the student‟s analysis, it was verified that their expectations were not being met. The analysis data generally indicate that students of UFPB's master's degree courses expect something different from what has been offered in their respective courses. According to the analysis, it is stated that reliability and empathy are the ones that are closest to the service expected by students, object of this research and it was concluded that the order of priority in the satisfaction of students considering the dimensions of quality was constituted First of the dimension Tangibility followed by Stability, Empathy, Security and Reliability.
Esta dissertação avaliou as percepções da qualidade do serviço e as expectativas dos alunos de mestrado do Centro de Tecnologia (CT) da Universidade Federal da Paraíba, utilizando o modelo SERVQUAL proposto por Parasuraman, Zeithaml e Berry (1985). Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza aplicada, quali-quantitativa, descritiva, uma pesquisa de levantamento ou survey. O SERVQUAL mensura a qualidade em 5 dimensões: tangibilidade, responsabilidade, confiabilidade, empatia e garantia, que aqui foram adaptadas para os serviços associados aos cursos de pós-graduação. A amostra foi composta por 187 respondentes matriculados nas pós de Engenharia Civil, de Produção, Mecânica, Alimentos, Química, Materiais e na pós de Arquitetura e Urbanismo. Através desta pesquisa foi possível, também, determinar o perfil dos estudantes, objeto de pesquisa, constatou-se que 50,5% são do sexo masculino e 49,5% são do sexo feminino. Aproximadamente 71% dos alunos dedicaram seu tempo a outras atividades que não fazem parte do programa de mestrado, 75% dos alunos estavam dentro do tempo regular para conclusão do mestrado. Identificou-se, ainda, que 75,9% dispunham de bolsa-auxílio. Sobre a autoavalição dos mesmos alunos, 75% deles consideram seu desempenho bom, 12% afirmam que é ótimo e 13% como razoável. Outro dado colhido afirma que 50% dos alunos que fazem parte da amostra desta pesquisa não publicaram nenhum artigo durante o mestrado e 24% publicaram apenas um artigo. A comparação entre satisfação do aluno e desempenho do atendimento foi feita com base nas respostas obtidas das variáveis para o serviço percebido, serviço esperado e o serviço mínimo aceitável. Com a análise da qualidade percebida pelos alunos, constatou-se que as expectativas dos mesmos não estavam sendo atendidas. Os dados da análise, em geral, indicam que os estudantes dos cursos de mestrado do CT da UFPB esperam algo diferente do que tem sido oferecido nos seus respectivos cursos. Ainda segundo a análise afirma-se que a confiabilidade e empatia são as que mais se aproximam do serviço esperado pelos alunos, objeto desta pesquisa e concluiu-se que a ordem de prioridade no atendimento da satisfação dos alunos considerando as dimensões da qualidade constituiu-se primeiramente da dimensão Tangibilidade seguido de Presteza, Empatia, Segurança e Confiabilidade.

Abstract:

O aumento da demanda informacional agregado ao planejamento que nos últimos 40 anos melhorou a qualidade dos programas de pós-graduação no país levou a uma consequente evolução dos profissionais oriundos destes programas e de suas pesquisas. A partir de uma produção qualificada e de maior volume surge a possibilidade e a necessidade de criar mecanismos que possam avaliar a evolução do campo científico. Diversas métricas podem ser utilizadas para quantificar e mensurar a produção do conhecimento, dentro de uma lógica do pensar computadorizado que quantifica dados e identifica padrões, entre elas selecionamos a bibliometria e sociometria. O trabalho justifica-se pela ausência de estudos métricos na área de Educação que enfoquem especificamente as Juventudes, em teses e dissertações produzidas nos programas de pós-graduação localizados na região sul do Brasil. Tem por objetivo contribuir para a cartografia sobre a Educação no Brasil, além de identificar o que está sendo pesquisado, analisar indicadores bibliométricos e refletir sobre a distribuição dos temas na região. Este estudo terá caráter exploratório e dissertativo, pois pretende aprofundar o conhecimento da realidade a partir do universo expresso nas teses e dissertações constantes em catálogos e repositórios das instituições onde estão localizados os programas, durante o período de 2010 a 2014. Foi possível identificar padrões dentro da produção científica de teses e dissertações, como por exemplo, as principais temáticas abordadas, palavras-chaves mais utilizadas, e evolução do número de estudos desenvolvidos. Dados quantitativos com relação a tipo de trabalhos, instituições de ensino superior, ano de defesa e orientadores envolvidos – a partir dos quais mapeamos as redes de colaboração na região também foram levantados. Ao traçar um panorama geral do atual estágio de desenvolvimento da pesquisa em Educação sobre juventudes esperamos contribuir com estudos posteriores, bem como promover revisões da área.
The increase that aggregate informational demand planning in the past 40 years has improved the quality of graduate programs in the country led to a consequent development of professionals from these programs and their research. From a qualified production and higher volume comes the possibility and the need to create mechanisms to assess the evolution of the scientific field. Several metrics can be used to quantify and measure the production of knowledge, within a logic of computerized think that quantifies data and identifies patterns, including selected bibliometrics and sociometry. The work is justified by the absence of metrical studies in the field of education that specifically focus on the Youth in theses and dissertations produced in graduate programs located in southern Brazil. It aims to contribute to the mapping on Education in Brazil, and to identify what is being researched, analyze bibliometric indicators and reflect on the distribution of issues in the region. This study will have exploratory and argumentative character, it aims to deepen the knowledge of reality from the universe expressed in theses and dissertations contained in catalogs and repositories of the institutions where the programs are located, during the period 2010 to 2014. It was possible to identify patterns within the scientific production of theses and dissertations, such as the main themes addressed, keywords most used, and changes in the number of studies conducted. Quantative data regarding type of work, higher education institutions, year of the defense and supervisiors involved – from which we tracked the collaborative networks in the region were also collected. By tracing an overview of the current research stage of development in Education on youths we hope to contribute to further studies, and promote the area reviews.

The present research aims to analyze the implementation and functioning of the Sandwich Program Abroad (PDSE) of the Federal University of Paraíba. It also intends to investigate the scholarship holders' perceptions of the contributions, difficulties and/or facilities found during the Program in the institution, as well as their perception of the internationalization process in the UFPB. The theoretical foundation is based on university discussions and the process of internationalization of higher education. This is a qualitative approach to case-study research, with descriptive and exploratory characteristics. For its accomplishment and data collection, the following technical procedures were used: bibliographic review, analysis of documents and structured online questionnaires performed by Google Docs – forms, sent by e-mail to the doctoral fellows. Data analysis was performed using the content analysis developed by Laurence Bardin. The results indicated that from January 2014 to December 2015 period, the UFPB postgraduate program sent 45 doctoral students abroad through the Sandwich Doctoral Program. According to the large areas of knowledge determined by CAPES, 50% of them are concentrated in Applied Social Sciences, Human Sciences and Health Sciences areas. The other 50% are distributed in the remaining areas. In the perception of scholarship holders, the main contributions of their sandwich internship abroad is the expansion of the analysis capacity of research objects, interaction with another culture and expansion of the world view. In addition, the internationalization of higher education is an opportunity to integrate produced knowledge from several countries and research cooperation between centers all over the world. The data also indicated that the PDSE contributes, even timidly, to the internationalization process of the UFPB.
A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar o processo de implantação e funcionamento do Programa de Doutorado Sanduíche no Exterior (PDSE) da Universidade Federal da Paraíba. Pretende também investigar a percepção dos doutorandos bolsistas sobre as contribuições, dificuldades e/ou facilidades encontradas diante do funcionamento do Programa na instituição, bem como sua percepção sobre o processo de internacionalização na UFPB. A fundamentação teórica está alicerçada em discussões sobre Universidade e o processo de internacionalização da educação superior. Trata-se de uma abordagem qualitativa da pesquisa do tipo estudo de caso, com características descritivas e exploratórias. Para sua realização e coleta de dados foram utilizados como procedimentos técnicos a revisão bibliográfica, a análise de documentos e questionários estruturados na ferramenta online Google Docs – formulários, enviados por e-mail aos doutorandos bolsistas. A análise dos dados foi realizada mediante a análise de conteúdo desenvolvida por Laurence Bardin. Os resultados indicaram que no período de janeiro de 2014 a dezembro de 2015 a pósgraduação da UFPB enviou ao exterior, através do Programa Doutorado Sanduíche, 45 doutorandos. Destes, de acordo com as grandes áreas do conhecimento determinadas pela CAPES, 50% se concentra nas áreas de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, Ciências Humanas e Ciências da Saúde. Os outros 50% se distribuem nas demais áreas. Na percepção dos doutorandos bolsistas, as principais contribuições do seu estágio sanduíche no exterior estão associadas à ampliação da capacidade de análise dos objetos de pesquisa, interação com outra cultura e ampliação da visão de mundo. Além disso, a internacionalização da educação superior é uma oportunidade de integração de conhecimentos produzidos em diversos países e de cooperação entre centros de pesquisa do mundo inteiro. Os dados indicaram também que o PDSE tem contribuído para o processo de internacionalização da UFPB.

Resumo: Foi pelo caminho (auto)biográfico, amalgamado com o cartográfico, que decidi prosseguir. Tantas outras terras já haviam sido desbravadas no Território da Educação... Mas... Um Grupo de Pesquisa... Em que chão pisavam? Do que se alimentavam? Com que tribo se relacionavam? Que língua falavam? Como se mantinham e como se intercomunicavam? Eu precisava saber. E me apegando a viajores experientes como Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Maria Isabel da Cunha, Milton Santos e Marilena Chauí, me embrenhei mata a dentro. Lá, numa pequena Ilha de Pesquisa, pude observar seus moradores e registrar seu cotidiano: publicações; estrutura interna; temáticas das reuniões; organização de congressos; em verdade, gostaria de saber se estaria frente a um Espaço, Lugar ou Território, tentando identificar o “dialeto” dos habitantes, seus “costumes” de pesquisa, suas correlações com outras Ilhas e como influenciavam e/ou eram influenciados por elas. Tudo isso interligando significações geográficas dos três termos – Espaço, Lugar e Território - às transposições pedagógicas de sentido. Como resultado, cheguei à conclusão de que a Ilha é, por enquanto, um Lugar. Entretanto, certamente, migrará para Território no sentido de que já se organiza como centro de produção de artigos científicos, de formadora e compartilhadora de conhecimentos. Ao final da jornada, como uma grata surpresa, descobri que o encontro é “núpcias sempre fora e entre”.
Abstract: It was through the (auto) biographic path, amalgamated with the cartographic, that I decided to continue. So many other lands had already been cleared in the Territory of Education ... But ... A Research Group ... On what ground did they step on? What did they feed on? With which tribe did they relate? What language did they speak? How did they stay and how did they intercommunicate? I needed to know. And clinging to experienced travelers like Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Maria Isabel da Cunha, Milton Santos and Marilena Chauí, I got a lot of trouble inside. There, on a small Island of Research, I was able to observe its inhabitants and register their daily life: publications; internal structure; meetings; organization of congresses; in fact, I would like to know if I would be facing a Space, Place or Territory, trying to identify the "dialect" of the inhabitants, their research "customs", their correlations with other Islands and how they influenced and / or were influenced by them. All this interconnecting geographical meanings of the three terms - Space, Place and Territory - to the pedagogical transpositions of meaning. As a result, I came to the conclusion that the Island is, for the time being, a Place. However, it will certainly migrate to Territory in the sense that it is already organized as a center for the production of scientific articles, as a formator and knowledge-sharing. At the end of the journey, as a pleasant surprise, I discovered that the meeting is "... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Os estudos que mensuram de forma ampla e objetiva a atuação e impacto dos programas de pós-graduação oferecem subsídios para o aprimoramento das diretrizes político-científicas. Neste contexto, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo propor o uso de indicadores adicionais (média de citações e Índice h) como parte da avaliação dos programas de pós-graduação brasileiros, que atualmente são baseados somente em indicadores de produtividade, a fim de identificar o impacto científico e a visibilidade dos programas, tomando como universo de aplicação os programas de pós-graduação da área de Zootecnia, com conceitos de 4 a 7, com mestrado e doutorado. Para cada programa de Zooctenia com mestrado e doutorado, analisam-se os artigos completos, publicados em periódicos Qualis A1 e A2 no triênio 2010-2012. Utilizam-se como fonte de dados, os cadernos de indicadores da CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior. Para cada artigo presente na produção científica analisada, identificou-se o número de citações recebidas, registradas na base de dados SCOPUS. A partir destes, calcularam-se a média de citações e o Índice h de cada programa. Para verificar a distribuição e dispersão dos índices resultantes para os indicadores propostos, utilizaram-se análises descritivas, gráficos de caixas (Boxplot) e análise de cluster. Os resultados obtidos revelam que não há diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os indicadores analisados relativos aos programas, pelo agrupamento dos programas segundo o conceito atribuído pela Capes na avaliação de 2013, referente ao triênio 2010-2012. Como conclusão, evidenciou-se que a inclusão de indicadores relativos ao impacto da produção científica dos programas de pós-graduação pode contribuir para a melhoria da compreensão do desempenho científico dos programas e reconhecimento da relevância dos seus conhecimentos produzidos e subsidiar na avaliação e classificação dos programas realizada pela CAPES, contribuindo de forma qualitativa na avaliação de programas de pós-graduação brasileiros em áreas similiares à de Zootecnia.
The studies, which quantify in a large and objective way the acting and impact of post-grade programs, offer tools to enhance of political-scientific guidelines. That way, this work aims to propose the use of two indicators (average number of citations and h index) as a part of the evaluation of the Brazilian post-grade programs, which nowadays are only evaluated by productivity indicators, in order to identify the scientific impact and visibility of the programs, taking as subject post-grade programs in Animal Science area, with CAPES concept between 4 and 7, with master and doctor degree. For each program in Animal Science area with master and doctor degree, it was analyzed the complete articles published in scientific journals, which were classified with Qualis indicator A1 and A2 between 2010 and 2012. The notebooks of CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior) indicators were used as data source. For each article analyzed, the number of citations that were registered on SCOPUS was counted. Then, the average number of citations and h index of each program were calculated. Descriptive analyzes, box plots and clustering were used in order to verify the distribution and dispersion of the resulting indices for the proposed indicators. As conclusion, it was displayed that the indicators regarding to impact of the scientific production of post-grade programs can contribute to the enhance of the comprehension about the scientific performance and recognizing of the knowledge´s relevance produced, as well as supports on evaluation and classification of the programs, which CAPES carries out, contributing in qualitative way on evaluation of Brazilian post-grade programs in Animal Science similar areas.

Abstract:

O objetivo dessa tese de doutorado é investigar processos micropolíticos de produção de conhecimento acadêmico científico, que normalizam as práticas metodológicas nos Programas de Pós-graduação em Comunicação stricto sensu, avaliados pela Capes e reconhecidos pelo Ministério da Educação. O posicionamento epistemológico ocorre pela lente da filosofia da diferença em que a micropolítica é entendida como o processo de produção do pensamento a partir das relações de saber-poder, detecta como se produzem modos de subjetivação. Assim, não se quer saber apenas “o quê?” nem “por quê?”, mas “de que modo” e, principalmente, “como” determinado saber e não outro está sendo normalizado. Para isso, propõe-se o caminho da experimentação metodológica da lógica dos sentidos e das séries de paradoxos, no que se relaciona à desnaturalização das práticas e na análise dos agenciamentos coletivos de enunciação com a pragmática crítica. Nesse caso, o problema orientador da pesquisa se articula em Como a normalização de um saber-poder metodológico vem sendo constituída nos programas de pós-graduação em comunicação? Como esses dispositivos morais emergem nas nossas estratégias de produção do conhecimento? Como se poderia produzir diferentes práticas metodológicas? Por meio dessa problematização, a discussão metodológica merece ser reconhecida como elemento vital na produção de conhecimento não apenas ao desnaturalizar as quatro séries da moral representativa (ciência metodológica, pesquisa metodológica, pedagogia metodológica e língua acadêmica metodológica), mas ao fazer emergir diferentes paradoxos, nesse mundo inacabado, pois muitas verdades podem ser construídas e caminhos oferecidos. No entanto, para reivindicar a existência é preciso conceber o pensamento numa possibilidade de criação em que não se confunde o pensar com o reconhecer ou representar. Por isso, pouco se discute no saber metodológico sobre a capacidade que o pensamento tem para oferecer outras maneiras de existir e que, sem ele, se é prisioneiro dos saberes-poderes vigentes. Em se tomar o pensamento num fluxo como o da vida se verá que isso apresenta uma ruptura com a representação clássica recognitiva para fazer dele uma potência criadora. Com isso, propõe-se o conceito de étodos em que a ética inspira um caminhar questionador dos modelos teleológicos, e possibilita pensar diferentemente as práticas que agenciam os acontecimentos.
The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to investigate micro-political processes of production of scientific knowledge, which standardize the methodological practices in the Postgraduate Programs in Communication stricto sensu, evaluated by Capes and recognized by the Ministry of Education. The epistemological positioning occurs through the lens of the philosophy of difference. In this way, micropolitics is understood as the process of production of thought from the relations of knowing-power, detecting how we produce modes of subjectivation. Thus, one does not only want to know "what?" nor "why?", but also "in what way" and especially "how" determined knowledge and not another is being normalized. This way, we propose the path of methodological experimentation of the logic of the senses in confluence with series of paradoxes, in relation to the denaturation of practices and to the analysis of the collective assemblages of enunciation with the critical pragmatics. In this case, the guiding problem of the research articulates in the following questions: How has the normalization of a methodological know-how been constituted in the postgraduate programs in communication? How do these moral devices emerge in our knowledge production strategies? How could one produce different methodological practices? Through this problem, methodological discussion deserves to be recognized as a vital element in the production of knowledge, not only by denaturalizing the four series of representative morality (methodological science, methodological research, methodological pedagogy and academic methodological language), but also by emerging different paradoxes, in our unfinished world, for many truths can be built and many paths can be offered. However, in order to claim existence, we must conceive of thinking in an authentic possibility of creation in which we do not confuse thinking with recognizing or representing. Therefore, little is discussed in the methodological knowledge about the capacity of the thought in offering different ways of existing that assure we do not become prisoners of the knowledge-powers in force. If we take thought in a flow like that of life we shall see that this shows a rupture with the classical recognizing representation to make it a creative power. This way, we propose the concept of an ethos in which ethics inspire a questioning walk of teleological models, making it possible to think differently the practices that organize events.

Como eses dispositivos morales emergen en nuestras estrategias de producción de conocimiento? Como se podría produccir diferentes prácticas metodológicas? A través de esta problematización, el debate metodológico merece ser reconocido como un elemento vital en la producción de conocimiento no sólo desnaturalizando las cuatro series de la representación moral (la ciencia metodológico, la investigación metodológica, la pedagogía metodológico y el lenguaje académico metodológico), sino que haciendo emerger diferentes paradojas, en ese nuestro mundo inacabado, pues muchas verdades se puede construir y caminos ofrecer.

Por eso, poco se discute en el saber metodológico acerca de la capacidad que el pensamiento tiene de ofrecer otras formas de existir y que sin ello somos prisioneros de los conocimientos de los poderes-saberes vigentes. Si tomamos el pensamiento como un flujo como o de la vida eso presenta una ruptura con la representación clásica recognitiva para hacer de el una potencia creadora. Por lo tanto, proponemos el concepto de étodos donde la ética inspira un caminar interrogador de los modelos teleológicos, que permiten pensar de forma diferente las prácticas que agencian los acontecimientos.

Para tanto, inicialmente, contextualiza o ensino superior no Brasil e a composição dos saberes docentes: disciplinares, experienciais e pedagógicos. Destes, explicitaram-se a composição e sua inter-relação com a identidade profissional docente, considerando a pedagogia universitária e didática, o processo de ensino e aprendizagem de adultos, o planejamento pedagógico, a prática pedagógica em aula, a formação docente e pesquisas recentes sobre o tema. A pesquisa de campo coletou o perfil dos docentes num questionário on-line e depois, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, os saberes pedagógicos de oito docentes da IES selecionada. Os resultados confirmaram a hipótese inicial. Constatou-se que eles praticamente não tiveram formação pedagógica prévia a sua atuação docente, mas se conscientizaram da importância desses saberes durante seu desenvolvimento profissional, a partir da prática de sala de aula, sem contar com uma fundamentação teórica educacional. As principais dimensões pedagógicas destacadas nas declarações foram a relação construtiva com os alunos e o desenvolvimento de seu pensamento crítico e complexo. Essas constatações subsidiaram propostas relevantes como dar voz aos alunos do lato sensu para que se complementem os resultados obtidos, intensificar o repertório de metodologias que promovam a autonomia do aluno, ampliar a responsabilidade da IES mediante a promoção e o desenvolvimento de ações pedagógicas formativas com o apoio dos coordenadores dos cursos lato sensu e mobilizar o Ministério da Educação (MEC) para fortalecer a regulamentação desses cursos.
The present study aims to investigate the pedagogical know-how of postgraduate diploma professors. In order to do so, it shall first contextualize higher education in Brazil and the constitution of a facultys disciplinary, experiential and pedagogical know-how. It shall focus on such constitution and its interrelation with teachers professional identity, taking into account university and didactic pedagogy, adult teaching and learning processes, pedagogical planning, pedagogical practice in classrooms, teacher training, and recent studies on the topic. Our field research collected teachers\' profiles by means of an online questionnaire. Then, the pedagogical know-how of eight professors from the selected higher education institution was assessed with semi-structured interviews. The results confirmed our initial hypothesis: most of them had not undergone pedagogical training before they started teaching; they noticed their classroom practice lacked a theoretical framework and became aware of its importance during their professional development. The main pedagogical dimensions highlighted in their testimonies were constructive relationships with students, and the development of complex and critical thinking. These findings supported relevant propositions such as giving voice to students so as to complement the results achieved, enhancing the repertoire of methodologies that promote students autonomy, increasing the institutions responsibility by promoting and developing pedagogical training with the support of postgraduate diploma coordinators, and mobilizing the Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC) to strengthen the regulation of these programs.

Abstract:

The impact of the Contact Centre workplace upon employee satisfaction or wellness is attracting the attention of researchers across the globe. Over 10 years of research has resulted in recommendations about how Contact Centres should be managed and how the jobs of Contact Centre agents should be designed. There is growing concern that the current practices result in significant psychosocial risk factors which are ultimately harming the Contact Agents and less obviously the bottom line of their organisations through emotional exhaustion, stress, employee absenteeism and turnover. The aim of this study was to explore whether Contact Centre managers were aware of these recommendations, in particular those relating to the design of motivating, satisfying and “healthy” jobs. Using an expanded Job Characteristic Model, this descriptive study explored the level of awareness of New Zealand Contact Centre managers (n=20) regarding the recommendations about the design of jobs, and what changes, if any, have occurred as a result. Where changes have not been forthcoming, the study explored the constraints which were preventing or limiting change. The results of this study indicated that there is a low level of awareness of the research recommendations, that approaches to improving the management and design of Contact Centre agents roles are ad hoc, and that there is a level of resistance in providing agents with autonomy to manage their day to day roles. Some efforts to increase task and skill variety have been made but these are also ad hoc rather than built into the job. As a result of this study, it appears that Contact Centres in New Zealand are still adopting a mass production model of management. This study has implications for Contact Centre managers and senior organisational managers, these are discussed. Limitations of the research, implications for Contact Centre Managements are highlighted and areas for further research are highlighted

Abstract:

Education for Sustainability is seen as a powerful change and social transformation tool aimed at greater equity in relations between society and the environment. Thus, this dissertation aims to analyze the scenario of Education for Sustainability in cur¬sos Graduate Sensu stricto in Rio Grande do Sul State Administration - Brazil. For this, the nine master's programs in existing Administration in Rio Grande do Sul were searched. In terms of methodological procedures, a descriptive and exploratory research of qualitative nature was carried out to meet four distinct stages: i) analyze the pedagogical projects of the nine courses, covering characterization of the subjects and relations with sustainability in the curriculum; ii) the documentary analysis of all 1813 dissertations have been published in the gauchos masters, seeking to relate these documents to Sustainability; iii) analyzes of publications derived from dissertations to identify which "green" dissertations were published in books, events and journals and vi) interviews with coordinators of the programs to identify concepts of program management for Sustainability and teachers from different lines of research aimed at identify the concepts of Sustainability, teaching strategies and learning methodologies. In total, sixteen teachers and coordinators were interviewed. The results show that the pedagogical projects of the courses are committed to issues of regionalities and sustainable issues, but when that aspect is transferred to the subjects of the courses, this query can not be measured directly. In the item analysis of dissertations, it was observed that they do not have great representation, with only 126 of the total 1813 in academic master's degrees in Administration of Rio Grande do Sul. It was also observed that the Graduate programs do not have the incentive to sustainable management and conceptions of teachers are private and are related to the line of research in which they are linked not with the Graduate program. Thus, it analyzes the scenario is still capable of improvement, such as encouraging the publication of dissertations "green", the integration of sustainable curriculum and improvements in sustainable management.
A Educação para Sustentabilidade é vista como uma poderosa ferramenta de mudanças e transformações sociais visando uma maior equidade nas relações entre a sociedade e o ambiente. Assim, esta dissertação objetiva analisar o cenário da Educação para Sustentabilidade nos cursos de Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu em Administração do estado do Rio Grande do Sul Brasil. Para isso, os nove programas de mestrado em Administração existentes no Rio Grande do Sul foram pesquisados. Em termos de procedimentos metodológicos, uma pesquisa descritiva e exploratória de natureza qualitativa foi realizada, visando atender quatro etapas distintas: i) analisar os projetos pedagógicos dos nove cursos, contemplando caracterização das disciplinas e relações com a Sustentabilidade no currículo; ii) Análise documental de todas as 1813 dissertações já publicadas nos mestrados gaúchos, buscando relacionar esses documentos com a Sustentabilidade; iii) análises das publicações oriundas das dissertações visando identificar quais as dissertações verdes foram publicadas em livros, eventos e periódicos e vi) Entrevistas com coordenadores dos programas visando identificar concepções sobre gestão dos programas para a Sustentabilidade e professores de diferentes linhas de pesquisa visando identificar as concepções sobre Sustentabilidade, estratégias de ensino e metodologias de aprendizagem. No total, dezesseis professores e coordenadores foram entrevistados. Os resultados apontam que os projetos pedagógicos dos cursos estão comprometidos com temáticas de regionalidades e com questões sustentáveis, porém quando este aspecto é transferido para as disciplinas dos cursos, este quesito não pode ser mensurado de forma direta. No quesito análise das dissertações, observou-se que estas não possuem grande representatividade, sendo apenas 126 do total de 1813 nos mestrados acadêmicos em Administração do Rio Grande do Sul. Observou-se também que os programas de Pós-Graduação não possuem o incentivo para a gestão sustentável e as concepções dos docentes são particulares e possuem relação com a linha de pesquisa na qual estão vinculados e não com o programa de Pós-Graduação. Desse modo, analisa-se que o cenário ainda é passível de melhorias, como o fomento a publicação de dissertações verdes , a integração de um currículo sustentável e melhorias na gestão sustentável.

Abstract:

Die internationale Ausrichtung der akademischen Bildung ist nicht nur eine moderne Randerscheinung, sondern hat sich in den letzten Jahren als unverzichtbar im Wettbewerb der Hochschulen um Studierende und hochqualifizierten wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs erwiesen. Ausgehend davon wird in diesem Papier ein Konzept für die Integration des postgradualen Master- und Promotionsstudiums in Economics präsentiert. Ein besonderes Merkmal dieses Konzeptes stellt die Bifurkation des Studienverlaufs nach einem gemeinsamen zweijährigen Kurssystem dar, wonach sowohl Graduierung als Master, als auch nach einer sich anschließenden Forschungs- und Kollegphase die Promotion erfolgen kann. Ziel ist es, nicht nur die Chancen und die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Ökonomen/innen auf dem nationalen und internationalen Arbeitsmarkt für hochqualifizierte Tätigkeiten zu erhöhen, sondern auch die Attraktivität des postgradualen Studiums und die Zukunft des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses zu gewährleisten
The international orientation of the academic education is not only a modern side issue but in recent years it has proven as indispensable in the competition of universities among students and highly-qualified young scientists. Based on this, the paper presents an approach for the integration of the postgraduate master and doctoral studies in economics. A specific feature of this approach is the bifurcation of the course of study after a two-year curriculum course system. Afterwards both the graduation as Master and the PhD after a subsequently research and college phase can be made. The aim is not only to increase the chance and the competitiveness of economists in the international labour market for highly-qualified activities but also to ensure the attractiveness of the postgraduate studies and the future of high-qualified young scientists
