Ensino superior em Turismo: uma análise da relação dos cursos acadêmicos de Turismo da cidade do Natal-RN e o mercado de trabalho na percepção dos egressos dos anos de 2009 e 2010

The process of development of any area is closely linked to teaching and research, and in Tourism it is not different. Thus, in this area in which service is one of the factors intrinsically related to its success , it is observed the need for people with deep and critical training in the various aspects of this activity acting in this sector. However, we can see the existence of some differences between what is offered by the academy from what is required by the market. Therefore, the objective of this research is to verify the relationship between higher education in Tourism and labor market through the perception of the bachelor in this area, graduated in Natal-RN, since it is the tourismologist who makes the link between this two fields. To know the perception of these tourismologists, it was necessary to apply a questionnaire to those ones graduated in the years 2009 and 2010. In accordance with the aim of this study, this research was exploratory-descriptive. Related to the technical procedures, it was a documentary, literature and field research. To have it analyzed, some qualitative and quantitative techniques were applied according to our specific objectives and the types of data collected, such as: content analysis, factorial analysis to synthesize the information and identify the basic dimensions that represent the different variables studied, the standard deviation to verify the variation of the responses in some items and the correlation technique that allows the analysis of the relationship between two variables. In response to the objectives proposed here, we could finally conclude that: the syllabuses of these courses are too general and the graduates themselves consider them so. It was diagnosed that the graduates 1) are mostly female, 2) a very small part of them is working in the area that they are graduated in, and 3) not all of them receive satisfactory wages which contributes to having a negative view of their degree course. Moreover, the educational institution where they studied was not a decisive factor to get a job. It was still diagnosed that most part of them do not have positive perceptions when thinking about the future of their careers as bachelors in Tourism. Many of them, including, if it was possible to change something in their careers so far, they could have chosen another college degree. It was found that, although there is a negative perception about their professional future, almost half of them believe that the course met the needs of the market. However, those ones that are not working have a more positive point of view related to the applicability of higher education. On the other hand, the other ones who already worked in this area have a more negative perception about it and do not believe that the course meets the market's needs. In summary, this study allowed the understanding of the existence of some gaps that exist between higher education in Tourism and the market needs, professionally speaking, thus contributing to the spreading of ideas on that subject for teachers, researchers and the current and future students of the area.

Desenvolvimento territorial e a política nacional de água em Moçambique: o caso do distrito de Chibuto

The development has been a phenomenon in constant discussion today, whose fundamental importance should be to promote the welfare of humanity. Thus, the development becomes an element that adds political, economic, social and environmental values . In Mozambique the development model adopted by the State prioritizes the economic dimension, in this case favoring the growth of capitalist structure production. Thus , the basic conditions for human survival still leaves much to be desired and the Mozambican population in general and the district of Chibuto , in particular , continue to face several difficulties to have access to such conditions, and the lack of potable water is a that most of the problems afflicting this population . The water was always a factor related to the socio-economic development of the population, where great civilizations and major economic marks were always influenced by water availability, and today this feature is present in all sectors of production. In Mozambique, much effort has been made by the government, national and international organizations to enhance and guarantee the supply of potable and drinking water, and despite all this effort, most of the population does not have access to this precious resource. In this sense, this work presents an analysis of the effects of the National Water Policy in the study area, analyzes the shortage of potable water in the district of Chibuto, discusses the design and development contained in the official discourse of the state and, opposes the idea of human development. For such issues that help to understand the phenomenon under study, such as territory, public policy and criticism of hegemonic conception of development are addressed. To make the desired approach, we performed a characterization of the District of Chibuto, addressing the issue of poverty, with a brief discussion of this concept, from different approaches, and analyze the impact of the PARPA (Action Plan for the Reduction of Absolute Poverty) in fighting poverty in Mozambique, and became a description of the scenario of poverty and vulnerability in Chibuto district with the construction of Territorial Human Development Index. Research also brings up a discussion about territory and technicization which describes the senary of the water supply system in the District and territorial dynamics of Chibuto, from the analysis and description of existing structures and other technical objects that structure the territory under study. Thus, it was found that the development should be summarized in the satisfaction of human needs, and should be the cornerstone of the new type of development that is intended for the purpose of triggering urgently actions to overcome or combat bleak misery suffered by the majority of inhabitants of the District of Chibuto

As necessidades formativas de professores para o trabalho com a educação integral

In Brazil, since the 1990, the country has been operating an extensive transformation in the education system. This situation is justified, among other reasons, the search for answers to the new demands that modern society gives to school, to new technologies and information and communication systems. To better put the Brazilian school that context, the federal government, through the Ministerial Decree No. 17/2007, created the More Education Program as a measure to combat low levels of development of basic education in the capital cities and metropolitan areas, aiming at the implementation of comprehensive education in schools. After the first year since the implementation of the program, there are advances in the permanence of students within the school. But as for the teachers, there is a gap on ownership and consequent acceptance. Considering the reality of the state system of schools of Basic Education in Natal - RN, this study investigates the training needs of teachers in institutions working with More Education Program, envisioning the educational relationship with Macrocampos contained in this national project. Answering this question allows us to absorb the concept of such needs in teachers, as well as to check priority in relation to the continuing education of teachers for this new pedagogical reality.

Núcleos de acessibilidade e o atendimento a alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais nas universidades federais do nordeste brasileiro

In the current context of policies for inclusiveness in the Brazilian higher education, the accessibility centers are responsible for the organization of actions toward the fulfillment of the legal requirements regarding accessibility and the elimination of barriers that interfere with the participation and learning of persons with special learning needs (SLN), providing conditions for the full inclusion of these students in the activities of learning, research and community outreach in this learning level. This research had the goal to analyse the work developed by the accessibility centers in the federal universities in the northeastern region of Brazil towards the care of students with SLN. It is a descriptive work, with quantitative and qualitative approaches. Twelve federal universities participated through their accessibility center’s coordinators. The data - gathered by means of an electronic survey filled out in 2014 - was organized and analyzed through descriptive statistics and content analysis; their discussion was made around four topics: organization of accessibility centers for the care of students with SLN, kinds and numbers of students with SLN cared for, actions developed, and suggestions for the improvement of the accessibility centers. It was found that in the sphere of the researched universities, the accessibility centers have been taking actions involving many parts of the academic community towards the improvement of the conditions and permanence of students with SLN. However, in some institutional realities, these action need to be expanded and/or consolidated. The coordinators suggest further actions towards the betterment of these centers, regarding expansion of financial and human resources, professional qualification, awareness of the academic community, institutionalization and the formation of a collaborative network among the accessibility centers. Thus, although there are still challenges to overcome, the presence of the accessibility centers is shown to advance the realization of policies for the inclusion of students with SLN in the post-secondary education, towards the democratization of learning starting from the universal right to education.

A motivação no teatro musical sob a perspectiva da teoria da autodeterminação

Este estudo teve por objetivo geral investigar os processos motivacionais dos participantes de um grupo de Teatro Musical sob a perspectiva da Teoria da Autodeterminação - TAD (RYAN; DECI, 2004; REEVE, 2006). Os pesquisadores Edward Deci e Richard Ryan (1985, 2000, 2008a, 2008b) afirmam que todos os indivíduos possuem uma propensão inclinada à autorregulação. Por esse motivo, a TAD analisa as razões pelas quais os indivíduos podem se envolver ou evitar participar de determinadas atividades, e adota um conceito de internalização que é representada por um continuum de autodeterminação, evidenciando os diferentes tipos de motivação previstos na miniteoria da integração organísmica. Os tipos de motivação podem ser identificados de acordo com o nível de autodeterminação dos indivíduos, através da satisfação de três necessidades psicológicas básicas: a necessidade de autonomia, a necessidade de competência e a necessidade de pertencimento. Esta pesquisa tem uma abordagem qualitativa e escolheu-se o estudo de entrevistas como estratégia de investigação, utilizando a entrevista semiestruturada como principal técnica de coleta de dados. A pesquisa foi realizada com 12 participantes de um grupo de Teatro Musical de uma universidade do Estado Rio Grande do Norte, referida na pesquisa com o pseudônimo de Companhia Musicale. Os resultados apontam que a principal motivação dos alunos não era a intrínseca. Portanto, a motivação foi considerada complexa e multifacetada, pois os participantes passaram por internalização do comportamento dependendo das condições situacionais. As complexidades nas interações puderam promover a satisfação das necessidades psicológicas básicas dos integrantes que apresentaram maior internalização dos comportamentos autodeterminados. Assim, os integrantes com maior desempenho nas tarefas foram os que internalizaram a importância e o valor das atividades. O estudo busca contribuir para futuras pesquisas e colaborar no sentido de perceber a importância de investigar e promover a motivação de alunos, professores, diretores, regentes, coordenadores e participantes de grupos artísticos em geral, trazendo esclarecimentos que ressaltam as contribuições e a importância que a motivação tem sobre o ensino, a aprendizagem musical e o envolvimento de participantes de grupos artísticos em diferentes atividades.

Pirometamorfismo provocado por intrusões básicas cenozoicas em rochas da Bacia Potiguar, RN: integração de dados geológicos e petrofísicos

The Potiguar Basin is located in the Brazilian Equatorial Margin and presents sedimentary rocks affected by Cenozoic basic igneous intrusions, known as Macau Magmatism. The most prominent effect related to these intrusions is the formation of buchites, pyrometamorphic rocks that occur at very high temperatures and very low pressures in the sanidinite metamorphic facies. Through literature review, field observations, petrographic and petrophysical data, accessing the database of previous studies and results from this research, it was possible to characterize and estimate the effects produced in the thermal aureole of some hypabyssal bodies in the basin. The most relevant features associated with the intrusions are: compactation, hydraulic fracturing, partial melting and recrystallization of country rocks. According to the observed mineral occurrences, temperature of 800 to 1200 °C and pressure below 0,5 kbar were estimated at the contacts of the igneous bodies. The thermal modeling of the São João plug indicates thermal effects extending up to 150 m away from the contact and cooling time of approximately 265,000 years. After the peak of temperature, followed a cooling phase registered by remobilization and precipitation of minerals at low-temperature in faults, fractures and geodes, interpreted as derived from reactions with sedimentary rocks and metasomatic / hydrothermal fluids with abundant carbonatization and silicification.
