Os desportos de adaptação ao meio, numa vertente aplicada, tendo em conta predominante as especificidades da escola e do turismo no quadro da RAM

O desporto é um meio que contribui para a transformação do Homem, por isso é preciso entender as atividades desportivas como instrumentos que solicitam comportamentos que ajudam na relação dialógica que o Homem tem com o contexto. De uma forma global é retratado o contexto atual da sociedade, do desporto, do turismo, da educação e dos DAM. Depois é aprofundado mais especificamente o interesse, potencialidades e constrangimentos na integração dos DAM na escola. É dado especial ênfase ao contexto específico da RAM pela sua pertinência ao nível dos seus atributos naturais bem como no setor estratégico do turismo. Defende-se que é possível ultrapassar constrangimentos e criar um produto do conhecimento específico dos DAM, pelo que é construído a título exemplificativo uma situação de Orientação limitada ao contexto escolar. Neste sentido coloca-se à refutação três aspetos essenciais. A operacionalidade da situação criada, através de uma situação exemplificativa aplicada a uma escola de 1.º ciclo da RAM. A recetividade do produto por parte dos professores e por fim as possibilidades de implementação de uma estrutura de apoio nas escolas para a construção deste tipo de produtos. Conclui-se que é possível construir, aplicar e avaliar na escola produtos do conhecimento específico dos DAM, que se pode identificar variáveis por parte dos professores que implicam na recetividade a estes produtos e que existem mecanismos legais de implementação de uma estrutura de apoio para professores que queiram implementar um produto com as características da proposta apresentada e possivelmente participar num projeto de implementação mais vasto.

Gestão híbrida em cooperativa de crédito: uma análise a partir do interesse, participação, satisfação e expectativa dos cooperados da COOPERUFPA

The globalization of markets has confirmed for the processes of change in organizations both in structure and in management. This dynamic was also observed in credit unions because they are financial institutions and are under the rules of the Brazil´s Financial System. Given the context of organizational changes in the financial capital has played the traditional management reform is urgent. In organizations credit unions, given its dual purpose, because in the same organizational environment and capitalism coexist cooperative whose logics are antagonistic, but can live through the balance between instrumental rationality and substantive rationality in credit unions. Based on this concept a new form of management should be thought to be able to accommodate the demand of cooperative, community, government and the market. Hybridization has been observed in management practices` COOPERUFPA into dimensions financial, social and solidarity participation with a trend in paradigmatic form of hybrid management, in that it directly or indirectly affect the management decisions in the credit union. The hybrid management is a trend that has been setting the basis for societal transformation, so that credit unions promote actions of welfare oriented cooperative members and the community around the same time that attend the dynamics of market globalization. These actions, in the context of hybrid management should be implemented by COOPERUFPA from the sociability of the remains and the wide diffusion of solidarity culture between cooperative partnership as a way to recover their participation in trade relations, financial and the social collective developement. For the members of COOPERUFPA financial interest is evidenced in greater relevance for the social interest given its dominant relationship as "mere customer" of the credit union, however, the proactive participation of the life of the cooperative credit union is one of its expectative among of participation of to share power in decisions by general meetings. This passivity`s cooperator of the COOPERUFPA in defending the ideals overshadowed the spread of cooperative principles and values of cooperation among them. Thus his conception for COOPERUFPA in the financial dimension, social and solidarity democracy, performed transversely. The COOPERUFPA for not developing an education policy for the cooperation among its members, contributed to a process of collective alienation of cooperative ideals, since the cooperative do not understand the reality that surrounds them as members of an organization whose mission is to social and financial sustainability of its members
