A pós-graduação em educação no Brasil: alguns aspectos à luz de estudos realizados na área

Neste artigo apresentamos resultados obtidos com parte das atividades de pesquisa desenvolvidas em estágio pós-doutoral sobre a pós-graduação stricto sensu e a pesquisa educacional no Brasil. Para tanto, foi possível reunir uma vasta quantidade de estudos publicados, sobretudo no formato de artigo, em periódicos considerados de relevância para a área da educação. Nesses artigos, a opção foi pinçarmos alguns aspectos que julgamos capazes de proporcionar uma leitura sobre a pós-graduação em educação no Brasil, à luz dos estudos realizados na área. em considerações finais, destacamos, entre outros identificados nos estudos selecionados, aspectos que lembram aos integrantes das comissões que normatizam e avaliam o trabalho e a produção acadêmico-científico nos programas de pós-graduação em educação no Brasil de que ela é parte integrante de um projeto educacional geral do país e que, portanto, possui papel sócio-educativo de formação do pesquisador, do professor do ensino superior e de produção de conhecimento capaz de propor novas perspectivas para a nossa universidade e para os problemas educacionais brasileiros.

Em busca da formação social brasileira: marxismo e vida acadêmica

O texto trata da articulação entre o nacional-desenvolvimentismo presente na produção cultural da década de 1950 e a pauta, essencialmente acadêmica e científica, proposta pela chamada escola de sociologia uspiana, sob o comando de Florestan Fernandes. Pretende-se demonstrar que, a despeito da aparente incongurência das duas proposições, na conjuntura de radicalização política e ideológica que se desenvolveu no período e em virtude da leitura de Marx efetivada pelos discípulos de Fernandes, ocorreu um deslocamento desse grupo para uma posição de esquerda que o aproximou, ainda que criticamente, dos temas hegemônicos à época.

O dispositivo metodológico e interventivo autoconfrontação e seus usos em pesquisas de educação

This article presents an academic and scientific study about the use of the device methodological and intervening of selfconfrontation in research in post-graduate studies in Education in Brazil. The self-confrontation is a device created by linguist Daniel Faïta and perfected by psychologist Yves Clot. She seeks to capture the multiple discourses and perspectives around a particular craft, integrating researcher and workers to facilitate the installation of a dialectical movement of analysis and production of knowledge about the work, ownership of these knowledge workers and the collective transformation of labor activity. We chose a qualitative approach and the realization of documental analysis of the abstracts of researches that resulted in the production of doctoral theses and dissertations held in Brazil between 1987 and 2011. Were examined studies that had their abstracts gathered and made available by the Coordenadoria de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) on its website. The results show that self-confrontation is used piecemeal studies produced in the area of Education, used primarily to collect data and to give less emphasis to the transformation of the labor process.

Estudo exploratório sobre a delimitação e práticas contemporâneas da educação não formal

This paper presents the survey, demarcation and discussion of different forms of education, which are education unintentional or intentional informal education, which unfolds in formal and non-formal education. The study of the proposed theme was carried through the review, critical analysis and synthesis of academic and scientific literature relevant to different forms of education. It approaches so prominent non-formal education, due to the significant rise of the practices related to it and increase the visibility of the professionals who took teaching as craft specifically in this educational modality. The main sub-areas of non-formal education presented in the article are: corporate education, non-formal education in social held on nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), non-formal education aimed at prevention and health promotion, formation of free courses to people in different areas of knowledge and practice. At the end, pointing to the importance of considering the non-formal education records within its ambit the existence of political and pedagogical rationales different, even opposite, which requires teachers and researchers in the educational field constant vigilance epistemological, so to contribute to the construction and consolidation of a critical education, creative and emancipatory.

ENDNOTE: A EXPERIÊNCIA DA FMVZ/USP NA CAPACITAÇÃO E NORMALIZAÇÃO DE TRABALHOS

O presente trabalho relata a experiência da Biblioteca Virginie Buff D’Ápice da FMVZ/USP na capacitação do uso do software EndNote e sua aplicabilidade por seus usuários; objetiva ainda demonstrar o potencial de uso dessa ferramenta na normalização de trabalhos científicos e acadêmicos. Com dados preliminares obtidos entre os anos de 2009 e 2010, além da experiência vivenciada nesse período, foi possível constatar que o uso do EndNote pelos estudantes que participaram da capacitação oferecida pela biblioteca promoveu um índice de acerto na normalização de seus trabalhos muito acima daqueles que não foram capacitados e/ou não o utilizaram o programa. Dessa forma, pode-se considerar que uma capacitação efetiva e o uso adequado do EndNote facilitam o trabalho do pesquisador que, ao utilizá-lo, pode focar mais seus esforços na escrita do trabalho, bem como o da biblioteca responsável pela normalização de trabalhos científicos/acadêmicos

Talents in Migration Processes in the Conditions of the Czech Republic of the Nineties

The transformation of the 1990s has had a bearing on the academic and scientific world, as is becoming increasingly obvious with the changing numbers of foreign students wishing to study in the Czech Republic and of Czech students wishing to study abroad, the virtual collapse of doctoral studies, and the rapidly increasing age of Czech academics (placed at 48 by official sources and at rather more by this research). At the same time there is an apparent lack of interest in analysing and understanding these trends, which Mr. Cermak terms an ostrich policy, although his research showed that academics are in fact both aware and concerned about them. The mid-1990s migration of talent to and from R+D in the Czech Republic is also reflected in the number of talented Czech students studying abroad, who represent the largest and most interesting group of actual and potential migrants. Mr. Cermak's study took the form of a Delphi enquiry participated in by 44 specialists, including experts in the problems of higher education and science policy from the Presidium of the Higher Education Council (n = 23), members of the Council's Science and Research Commission (n = 14), former and current managers of higher education authorities (n = 4) and selected participants of the longitudinal talent research (n = 3). Questions considered included the influence of continuing talent migration from domestic R+D on the efficiency of domestic higher education, the diversification of forms of the brain drain and their impact on other processes in society, the possibility of positive influence on the brain drain processes to minimise the risks it presents, and the use of the knowledge obtained about the brain drain. The study revealed a clear drop of interest in brain drain problems in higher education in the mid-1990s, which is probably related to the collapsed of Czech R+D in the field of talent education. The effects on this segment of the labour market appeared earlier, with a major migration wave in 1991-1993 which significantly "cleared" the area of scientific talent. In addition, prospective talents from the ranks of younger students have not been integrated into domestic R+D, leading to the increasing average age of those working in this field. "Talent scouting" tended to be oriented towards much younger individuals, even in some cases towards undergraduate students. The R+D institutions deprived of human resources considered as basic in a functional R+D system have lost much of their dynamism and so no longer attract not only domestic talent but also talent from other regions. As a result the public, including the mass media and political structures, have stopped regarding the support of domestic science as a priority. This is clear both among the young people who are important for the future development of R+D (support for the education of talented children has dropped), from the drop in the prestige of this area as a profession among university students, and from the lack of explicit support for R+D by any of the political parties. On the basis of his findings Mr. Cermak concludes that there is no basis for the belief that the brain drain will represent a positive force in stimulating the development of the open society. Migration data shows that the outflow of talent from the Czech Republic far exceeds the inflow, and that the latter is largely short-term. Not only has the number of returning Czech professors dropped to half of its level at the beginning of the 1990s, but they also tend to take up only short-term contracts and retain their foreign positions. Recruitment of scientific talent from other countries, including the Slovak Republic, is limited. Furthermore internal contacts between those already involved in R+D have been badly hit by economic pressures and institutional co-operation has dropped to a minimum. There have been few moves to counteract this situation, the only notable one being the Program 250, launched in 1996 with government support to try and attract younger (i.e. under 40) talent into R+D. Its resources are however limited and its effects have not so far been evaluated. The deficit of academic and scientific talent in the Czech Republic is increasing and two major directions of academic work are emerging. Classic higher education science based on the teaching process is declining, largely due to economic factors, while there is an increasing emphasis on special; ad hoc projects which cannot be related directly to teaching but are often interesting to specialists outside the Czech Republic. This is shown clearly by the increase in publishing and in participation in domestic and foreign grant projects, which often serve to supplement the otherwise low salaries in the higher education sector. This tend was also accelerated by the collapse of applied R+D in individual sectors of the national economy and by substantial cutbacks in the Czech Academy of Sciences, which formerly fostered such research. Some part of the output of this research can be used in the education system and its financial contribution does significantly affect the stability of the present staff, but Mr. Cermak sees it as generally unfavourable for the development of talent education. In addition, it has led to a certain resignation on the question of integration into international structures, due to the emphasis on short-term targets, commercial advantages and individualism rather than team work. At the same time, he admits that these developments reflect those in other areas of the transformation in the Czech Republic.

Flujos informacionales en repositorios cooperativos : Consideraciones sobre algunas experiencias en instituciones académicas de América Latina

Este trabajo, de tipo descriptivo exploratorio, se propone efectuar un análisis de una serie de repositorios cooperativos pertenecientes a instituciones académicas de América Latina. Hace hincapié en la importancia de la cooperación como práctica de larga data en el ámbito de las bibliotecas, muchas de las cuales se han convertido en líderes o partícipes importantes tanto en la implementación como en el desarrollo de los repositorios en sus respectivas instituciones. Se toman en consideración los flujos informacionales que los atraviesan a fin de conocer cómo se delinean y desarrollan en el marco de instituciones académicas de cierta envergadura y complejidad, a través de un análisis de documentación. Se resaltan los modelos de flujos de información detectados en dichos repositorios cooperativos y cómo estos, desde su singularidad, favorecen la visibilidad y la difusión del conocimiento académico y científico existente en formato digital

El campo científico argentino en los años de plomo : Desplazamientos y reorientación de los recursos

El golpe de Estado producido en 1976 abrió una de las etapas más sombrías para el campo académico y científico argentino. Las universidades nacionales fueron intervenidas militarmente y se desplegaron acciones de terror material y simbólico: desmantelamiento de centros de investigación, disminución de la matrícula universitaria y reducción del plantel docente, persecución ideológica, cesantías masivas. El CONICET sufrió procesos de depuración-expulsión de investigadores y de concentración de cargos directivos en manos de un reducido grupo de agentes. Intentaremos comprender las orientaciones de esta compleja política científico-universitaria, poniendo el foco en un aspecto escasamente explorado: la transferencia de recursos de la Finalidad Ciencia y Técnica del Presupuesto General de la Administración Nacional desde las universidades hacia el CONICET. Nos proponemos analizar cómo en este periodo el Consejo creció en términos estructurales, de recursos humanos y materiales y, simultáneamente, las universidades nacionales fueron despojadas de su actividad de investigación
