Thus, the portion of the population of students who are not from the city of San Carlos, but it has to be present daily to provide their respective courses in San Carlos, has the need to rent property. The housing market, in turn, uses the application of capital to meet the demands of students and business is taking steps that make the production of space and provide new scope of the place, giving new meaning to the settings and new residents.

Den utvärdera(n)de staten : Utvärderingens institutionalisering på den högre utbildningens område

In recent years evaluation has become a very important element in the public administration. The Swedish state administration to a significant extent both evaluates and is evaluated. This means that the evaluating state is at the same time the evaluated state. In this dissertation the institutionalization of evaluation is studied in a field within which this development has been particularly lively and interesting, namely the field of higher education. The dissertation focuses on evaluation activity that has been carried out in conjunction with central public authorities within higher education: the Office of the Chancellor of the Universities and Colleges in Sweden, the National Swedish Board of Universities and Colleges, and the Office of the University Chancellor, and encompasses the period 1964-1995. A newly revived research tradition within political science – historical institutionalism – is used as a perspective and a methodology. Since the application of this tradition has not yet been fully tested, another purpose is to examine the practical utility of this analytical tool and the kind of knowledge that it produces. The dissertation thereby combines the fields of education policy, evaluation research and institutional theory. The beginning of the institution has been dated to the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s. In the dissertation the forces behind the initiation of the institution are taken up. Events and developments in the field that have influenced the further development of the institution have been identified and analyzed. Developments reveal that the institution has been stable during the entire period of time under study, despite some changes. The use of historical institutionalism as a perspective and methodology has proven satisfactory on a general level. However, special solutions have been required as problems and ambiguities have arisen. The dissertation concludes with reflections on the practical utility of historical institutionalism in political science research.

O ensino superior das artes visuais na União Europeia à luz do Processo de Bolonha

No presente artigo procurar-se-á, depois de uma breve abordagem sobre a concretização do Processo de Bolonha, nos países da união europeia, compreender em que fase se encontra a adequação dos cursos de Artes Visuais e em que medida têm sido acolhidas as orientações emanadas das diferentes conferências de ministros que tutelam o ensino superior, quanto à estrutura de graus, à duração dos ciclos, à implementação do sistema de garantia da qualidade, entre outros aspectos. Advirta-se, contudo, que para efeitos da presente caracterização apenas se consideraram as instituições de ensino superior com sítios disponíveis na internet, tendo sido efectuada a recolha de dados durante o ano de 2008 e o primeiro trimestre de 2009. O levantamento das instituições foi feito junto das associações internacionais, consideradas interlocutoras credíveis como a ELIA (The European League of Institutes of ARTS) e a Cumulus Association Of Universities and Colleges of Art, Design and Media. Em Portugal, esse levantamento foi feito junto da Direcção Geral do Ensino Superior e em Espanha junto da ANECA (Agencia Nacional de Evaluacion de la Calidad Y Acreditacion).
