O sentido do estudo para os alunos de graduação em administração e as percepções dos agentes envolvidos nesse processo

O censo da educação superior de 2009 mostrou que o curso de Administração é o maior curso de graduação em número de matrículas no país. Somados os cursos presenciais e a distância são 1.102.579 alunos matriculados (18,5% do total). Além disso, o número de matrículas no curso de Administração cresceu 51% entre 2005 e 2009. Devido à representatividade do curso, não se pode desprezar o sentido do estudo para os alunos que buscam o título de bacharel em Administração. Também não pode ser desprezada a congruência entre o significado atribuído ao curso por esses alunos e os objetivos dos agentes envolvidos no planejamento e na execução desses cursos. Essas agentes são: o governo federal, representado pelo Ministério da Educação e Cultura (MEC); o órgão de classe, representado em nível estadual pelo Conselho Regional de Administração do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (CRA-RJ); as instituições de ensino superior (IES); os Coordenadores dos cursos de Administração; os Professores; e, finalmente, os Alunos. Sabendo que cada um desses agentes tem seus próprios objetivos e interesses e pensando no aluno como destinatário das políticas e práticas de todos os envolvidos no processo, busca-se, no presente estudo responder à seguinte questão: Qual o sentido do estudo para o aluno de graduação em Administração do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e as percepções dos agentes envolvidos nesse processo? A pesquisa de campo foi realizada em instituições de ensino superior do estado do Rio de Janeiro que disponibilizam cursos de graduação em Administração. Foram entrevistados nove coordenadores de curso, 17 professores e 58 alunos, totalizando 84 entrevistados. As entrevistas foram transcritas e submetidas à análise de conteúdo. O estudo conclui que o sentido atribuído ao curso pelos estudantes é o da empregabilidade e os agentes envolvidos na formação do administrador, em sua maioria, a ele vêm se adaptando quando deveriam provocar e oferecer um sentido mais amplo ao curso.

As relações acadêmicas de produção na pós-Graduação em administração no Brasil

A presente tese pretende contribuir criticamente para o entendimento das intrincadas relações existentes entre o Estado, o capital e a produção acadêmica. Para isso, se propôs a interpretar as relações acadêmicas de produção na pós-graduação em Administração no Brasil articulando-as com categorias analíticas mais amplas, delineadas de forma a fornecer um quadro, ao fundo, da economia-política. O pressuposto de que a atual intensificação dos ritmos de produção acadêmica contrasta com um passado – idealizado – de ciência contemplativa precisou ser confrontado com o desenvolvimento histórico da educação superior e da pós-graduação no país objetivando-se demover certas mitificações do debate. O Estado, em sua versão reformada a partir do ideário friedmaniano, o conceito de capital monopolista e a teoria do processo de trabalho forneceram suporte teórico-metodológico – e empírico – para a interpretação do quadro político-econômico proposto. Para a passagem do geral para o particular – das conexões entre o Estado e o capital à produção acadêmica – recorreu-se à coleta de dados em duas frentes: (i) analisou-se a produção acadêmica de todos os 168 pesquisadores-doutores bolsistas (até março de 2014) em Produtividade em Pesquisa (PQ) do CNPq na área de Administração e (ii) realizou-se entrevistas em profundidade com pesquisadores-doutores e doutorandos dos mais variados programas de pós-graduação em Administração do país. Os resultados foram inquietantes: verificou-se que está em curso um processo de intensificação da incorporação da mão-de-obra formada por alunos-orientandos às estruturas pedagógico-produtivas dos cursos de pós-graduação. Os orientandos respondem pela parcela mais substantiva do total da produção acadêmica, enquanto que os processos de trabalho aprofundam re-significações das atribuições dos cursos de pós-graduação e intensificam a divisão do trabalho, com impactos diversos nas relações entre os sujeitos da pós-graduação. Quando se procede ao movimento analítico inverso – das relações no interior da pós-graduação em Administração no Brasil para o quadro da economia-política posicionado ao fundo – observa-se que o Estado (principalmente através da CAPES e do CNPq) e o mercado capitalista acadêmico (tendendo a poucas empresas de capital monopolista) acrescentam determinações fundamentais às relações acadêmicas de produção. Índices de avaliação baseados em métricas de contabilidade da pesquisa se legitimam como monopólios epistemológicos da qualidade e se institucionalizam pelas ações coordenadas da CAPES e do CNPq no conjunto do sistema oficial de pós-graduação. Metas de produção são estabelecidas e re-significadas pelos sujeitos. No limite, define-se até mesmo o tipo de ciência que se produz na área. Conclui-se que a resistência aos atuais padrões intensificados de produção acadêmica passa pelo entendimento crítico de todas essas relações que se costuram e se estruturam no interior da pós-graduação.

Contribuições da metodologia service-learning para o ensino de responsabilidade social em cursos de graduação em administração

A temática da Responsabilidade Social está em grande discussão na atualidade, fazendo a sociedade repensar o papel das empresas e exigindo delas mais responsabilidade e envolvimento com o seu desenvolvimento. No Brasil, a discussão de questões relativas à Responsabilidade Social ganhou espaço apenas mais recentemente, em seguida ao processo de industrialização e vinda de grandes empresas para o país. Dessa forma, vem à tona uma discussão sobre o preparo dos profissionais de Administração brasileiros para trabalhar a Responsabilidade Social nas empresas e sobre a inclusão desta temática nos cursos de graduação em Administração. O desafio dessas instituições é abordar a Responsabilidade Social e a ética dentro de seus currículos, conjugando a formação acadêmica, técnica e ética dos alunos. As metodologias de ensino tradicionais levam a um esclarecimento teórico sobre o tema, no entanto não preparam os alunos para lidar com as questões de responsabilidade social na prática. Este estudo propôs o service-learning como uma metodologia de abordagem prática para o ensino de Responsabilidade Social, permitindo a aproximação entre instituições de ensino superior e comunidades, em uma experiência de aprendizado e ganho para ambas. Foram analisados neste estudo dois casos de instituições de ensino brasileiras que desenvolvem programas junto a comunidades, com o objetivo de conhecer suas práticas e estudar as possíveis contribuições que o uso da metodologia service-learning poderia trazer ao contexto educacional brasileiro, em busca da formação de profissionais mais sensibilizados às questões sociais.

Desafios na implementação da educação ambiental nos cursos de graduação em administração: um estudo em instituições de ensino superior de Teresina-PI

O objetivo primário da pesquisa foi “analisar como a EA é implementada nos cursos de administração, tendo em vista as disposições instituídas pela Política Nacional da Educação Ambiental”. Seus objetivos secundários foram: (a) analisar como os atores chaves do processo pedagógico dos cursos de administração de empresas compreendem a educação ambiental; (b) identificar quais os parâmetros as IES utilizam para inserir a educação ambiental nos cursos de administração; (c) identificar como e quais as práticas de educação ambiental estão envolvidas na formação do administrador. Trata-se de um estudo de casos múltiplos com três IES de Teresina-PI, foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo com auxílio do Atlas/ti. A análise da implementação da EA nas Instituições de Ensino Superior reafirmou dificuldades já previstas em outros estudos e apontou novos desafios relatados no decorrer desse texto. Duas forças surgem nessa análise: a institucional e a individual. A força institucional é corroborada pelas ações mais amplas e que são fortemente influenciadas pelas diretrizes legais da EA; a força individual se confirma pela presença de docentes envolvidos com a questão, essa força assume uma relevância quando se considera o próprio significado da EA como instrumento de fortalecimento de valores sociais, assim como torna mais fácil sua disseminação pelo modelo de envolvimento que os sujeitos apresentam.

Auto-eficácia de alunos de administração: um estudo com concluintes do curso de graduação em Administração no Estado do Pará

The current study presents the characteristics of self-efficacy of students of Administration course, who work and do not work. The study was conducted through a field research, descriptive, addressed quantitatively using statistical procedures. Was studied a population composed of 394 students distributed in three Higher Education Institutions, in the metropolitan region of Belém, in the State of Pará. The sampling was not probabilistic by accessibility, with a sample of 254 subjects. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire composed of a set of questions divided into three sections: the first related to sociodemographic data, the second section was built to identify the work situation of the respondent and the third section was built with issues related to General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale proposed by Schwarzer and Jerusalem (1999). Sociodemographic data were processed using methods of descriptive statistics. This procedure allowed characterizing the subjects of the sample. To identify the work situation, the analysis of frequency and percentage was used, which allowed to classify in percentage, the respondents who worked and those that did not work, and the data related to the scale of self-efficacy were processed quantitatively by the method of multivariate statistics using the software of program Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows - SPSS, version 17 from the process of Exploratory Factor Analysis. This procedure allowed characterizing the students who worked and the students who did not worked. The results were discussed based on Social Cognitive Theory from the construct of self-efficacy of Albert Bandura (1977). The study results showed a young sample, composed the majority of single women with work experience, and indicated that the characteristics of self-efficacy of students who work and students who do not work are different. The self-efficacy beliefs of students who do not work are based on psychological expectations, whereas the students who work demonstrated that their efficacy beliefs are sustained by previous experiences. A student who does not work proved to be reliant in their abilities to achieve a successful performance in their activities, believing it to be easy to achieve your goals and to face difficult situations at work, simply by invest a necessary effort and trust in their abilities. One who has experience working proved to be reliant in their abilities to conduct courses of action, although know that it is not easy to achieve your goals, and in unexpected situations showed its ability to solve difficult problems

Práticas interdisciplinares no ensino superior: a experiência do curso de graduação em administração da UNAMA - Pará

This work addresses the study of interdisciplinarity in higher administration education, a topic of great relevance in the present context, due to guidelines issued by Ministry of Education through the National Curriculum Guidelines -NCGs for undergraduate courses in Management. The attention on the subject emerges from the gained experience of a researcher and teacher working as manager of an undergraduate course in Business Administration who set up interdisciplinarity through interdisciplinary projects in a management course pedagogical project at a private university in State of Pará/Brazil. The work rebuilds and reports experiences, and studies the practice of lecturers involved in those interdisciplinary actions. The study aimed to identify changes in pedagogical practices of teachers involved in the searched interdisciplinary experience. To address the questions that directed the work and achieve proposed objectives, from a qualitative approach, a significant bibliographical and documentary work was conducted on the topic. In the survey carried out on secondary sources such as publications of major authors and scientific papers reporting interdisciplinary experiences in higher administration education, it was found that interdisciplinarity for its ambiguous character is still poorly understood by teachers, and reports on its application in administration teaching are incipient. This study also used data collected from primary sources, from dialogues through interviews with educational fellows - teachers and officers of the institution that served as locus of the research, who had the opportunity to experience the studied interdisciplinary experience. Data were processed and analyzed using content analysis technique. Research results showed that teachers of the institution of research have a good understanding of meaning of interdisciplinarity as a link between disciplines; it was also found substantial evidence of changes in teaching practices and actions of such teachers based on their participation in interdisciplinary projects. Although the experience studied can be considered innovative and challenging, much needs to be done in the course management for achievement of interdisciplinary actions in the course, particularly regarding to the removal of institutional, methodological, psychosocial, epistemological obstacles in operationalizing interdisciplinary practices, with emphasis on the need of a process of continuous and specific training aiming at developing skills for interdisciplinary acting, to the extent that these education professionals do not perceive themselves able to act as interdisciplinary lecturers

Da letargia ao realento: notas sobre o ensino de graduação em administração pública no Brasil no entremeio da crise do Estado e da redemocratização no país (1983-94)

Considering the meantime of Brazilian crisis of State and redemocratization, this article looks for a description and analysis of the facts and circumstances that marked the undergraduate education of Brazilian public administration during this period, considered by the authors as one of the cycles (or stages of construction) of academic education. Methodologically, this article makes a review of academic and non-academic works which deal directly and indirectly the PA themes, including revisiting the sources and analyzing the existing laws and opinions about the undergraduate education in public administration in a continuum of time between 1983-94, through a semi-structured interview with academics who have experienced such period. Regarding the results, this article observes that the period between 1983-94, unlike the first cycle (1952-65) and second cycle (1966-82), when the academic background in public administration had an identity - adherent to the conception (and project) of State and the contours (and production) in the public administration field of knowledge - having the Ebap/FGV a model case, was a problematic stage of construction, reflecting the crisis of State in the 80's years and also the paradigmatic crisis (or discontinuity) in public administration field of knowledge in Brazil during this time.

ROTATIVIDADE DOCENTE EM PROGRAMAS DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM ADMINISTRAÇÃO: UM ESTUDO DE CASOS MÚLTIPLOS

Esta pesquisa analisa a rotatividade docente como uma variável dependente do contexto em que os PPGAs (Programas de Pós-Graduação em Administração) analisados estão imersos. Portanto, foi adotada a Metodologia de Estudo de Casos Múltiplos com viés em redes sociais. Considera-se que as deliberações regulatórias da CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior) e símbolos tais como estatutos, regimentos e cânones dos casos analisados neste estudo, influenciam as decisões de demitir. Foram encontrados indícios de que se trata da crença em uma rotatividade funcional como prática emergente no campo das IESs confessionais (UMESP, PUC/SP e UPM) como um recurso para adaptar-se às mudanças propostas pela CAPES. Para tal, com objetivo de produzir melhoras na produtividade científica e enquadrar-se aos critérios de avaliação da CAPES, os coordenadores de PPGA-Ego atribuem à rotatividade docente em outro PPGA-Alter como principal fator de sucesso do PPGA-Alter. As evidências encontradas se fundamentam na inter-subjetividade entre coordenadores de distintos programas dos casos analisados, portanto a rotatividade funcional pode ser dependente do contexto e não se trata de em fenômeno aleatório ou mesmo atomístico. O presente trabalho também contribui para a sugestão de futuros trabalhos, como por exemplo, a rotatividade disfuncional além de outros descritos no final. Em todos os três casos PPGA UMESP, PPGA UPM e PPGA PUC-SP ocorreu mobilidade docente para instituições estatais e particulares, que segundo os coordenadores entrevistados representava um movimento desfavorável sob algum aspecto para os docentes que se demitiram. Neste sentido passa a ser necessário um trabalho específico, eventualmente uma avaliação empírica com base nos constructos de intenção em demitir-se fundamentada nos estudos de Comportamento Organizacional ou Psicologia I/O (Industrial e Organizacional) como Congruência Pessoa-Organização (ARGYRIS, 1973, KRISTOFF, 1996), Modelos de RH (ARTHUR, 1982; MOBLEY, 1982; BAUM, 1993), Modelo Steers e Mowday e outros. Porém contextualizado e estruturado.

Análise do uso do Portal de Periódicos da CAPES na perspectiva de mestres e doutores formados pelo Programa de Pós-graduação em Administração da UFRN

The Brazilian CAPES Journal Portal aims to provide Information in Science and Technology (IST) for academic users. Thus, it is considered a relevant instrument for post-graduation dynamics and the country´s Science and Technology (S&T) development. Despite its importance, there are still few studies that focus on the policy analysis and efficiency of these resources. This research aims to fill in this gap once it proposes an analysis of the use of the CAPES Journal Portal done on behalf of the master´s and doctoral alumni of the Post Graduate Program in Management (PPGA) at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). The operationalization of the research´s main objective was possible through the specific objectives: characterize graduate profile as CAPES Journal Portal users b) identify motivation for the use of CAPES Journal Portal c) detect graduate satisfaction degree in information seeking done at CAPES Journal Portal d) verify graduate satisfaction regarding the use of the CAPES Journal Portal e) verify the use of the information that is obtained by graduates in the development of their academic activities. The research is of descriptive nature employing a mixed methodological strategy in which quantitative approach predominates. Data collection was done through a web survey questionnaire. Quantitative data analysis was made possible through the use of a statistical method. As for qualitative analysis, there was use of the Brenda Dervin´s sense-making approach as well as content analysis in open ended questions. The research samples were composed by 90 graduate students who had defended their dissertation/thesis in the PPGA program at UFRN in the time span of 2010-2013. This represented by 88% of this population. As for user profile, the analysis has made evident that there are no quantitative differences related to gender. There is predominance of male graduates that were aged 26 to 30 years old. As for female graduates, the great majority were 31 o 35 years old. Most graduates had Master´s degree scholarship in order to support their study. It was also seen that the great majority claim to use the Portal during their post graduation studies. The main reasons responsible for non use was: preference for the use of other data bases and lack of knowledge regarding the Portal. It was observed that the most used information resources were theses and dissertations. Data also indicate preference for complete text. Those who have used the Portal also claimed to have used other electronic information fonts in order to fulfill their information needs. The information fonts that were researched outside in the Portal were monographs, dissertations and thesis. Scielo was the most used information font. Results reveal that access and use of the Portal has been done in a regular manner during post graduation studies. But on the other hand, graduates also make use of other electronic information fonts in order to meet their information needs. The study also confirmed the important mission performed by the Portal regarding Brazilian scientific communication production. This was seen even though users have reported the need for improvement in some aspects such as: periodic training in order to promote, encourage and teach more effective use of the portal; investment aiming the expansion of Social Sciences Collection in the Portal as well as the need to implement continuous evaluation process related to user satisfaction in regarding the services provided.
