A escola sob o olhar dos alunos e das alunas

No seu papel de instituição de ensino mas também de educadora, a escola enfrenta hoje um grande desafio face à emergência de alunos/as cada vez mais heterogéneos e fruto de um mundo em evolução mas também com novos problemas sociais e económicos. Por isso, precisa de constantemente questionar o seu modo de funcionamento e questionar o conhecimento que pretende que os alunos aprendam. Nesse processo de questionamento é necessário incluir os alunos e alunas, pois são eles que dão sentido à escola e determinam a sua existência. Para que isso possa acontecer é preciso que sejam ouvidos e que se tenham em conta as suas opiniões. Foi o que tentámos fazer no estudo que agora se apresenta: ouvir a opinião dos alunos e das alunas do 3.º ciclo do ensino básico sobre a sua escola, sobre a relação que têm com ela, com o que nela aprendem e com os seus professores/as. Os resultados que apurámos e interpretámos ao longo deste estudo de caso deixam perceber que os sujeitos participantes, na sua maioria, desenvolvem uma relação positiva com a escola que frequentam, com o que nela aprendem e com os seus professores e professoras.

Caracterización del archivo de investigación : Un estudio de caso

El objetivo del artículo es describir los procesos administrativos del área de investigación en la Escuela Interamericana de Bibliotecología de la Universidad de Antioquia (Medellín-Colombia) en relación al archivo documental en sus diferentes niveles y tipologías. Para ello se realizó, en primer lugar, una identificación de la experiencia en investigación de la Escuela y, en segundo, una caracterización de los procesos de tratamiento archivístico del archivo de investigación, con el fin de proponer planteamientos conceptuales y metodológicos sobre este tipo de archivos. Por último, se plantean algunas recomendaciones y consideraciones finales sobre el archivo de investigación como un tipo especializado, de singular valor para la gestión y apropiación social del conocimiento científico y/o tecnológico.

Industry-specific human capital, knowledge labour, and industry wage structure in Taiwan

This paper investigates the role of industry-specific human capital (ISHC) in determining industry wage structure. The model presented in this paper distinguishes between knowledge labour and physical labour. Knowledge labour is physical labour embodied with ISHC. It is postulated that more ISHC-intensive industries, such as high-tech industries, pay higher wages and the wage premiums increase with workers' experience. The hypothesis is tested using a merged sample of 1997 - 1999 manpower utilization survey data from a newly industrialized economy - Taiwan. The findings show support for the effect of ISHC.

Two new tools for assessing patients' knowledge and beliefs about obstructive sleep apnea and continuous positive airway pressure therapy

Background and purpose: Patients' knowledge and beliefs about their illnesses are known to influence a range of health related variables, including treatment compliance. It may, therefore, be important to quantify these variables to assess their impact on compliance, particularly in chronic illnesses such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) that rely on self-administered treatments. The aim of this study was to develop two new tools, the Apnea Knowledge Test (AKT) and the Apnea Beliefs Scale (ABS), to assess illness knowledge and beliefs in OSA patients. Patients and methods: The systematic test construction process followed to develop the AKT and the ABS included consultation with sleep experts and OSA patients. The psychometric properties of the AKT and ABS were then investigated in a clinical sample of 81 OSA patients and 33 healthy, non-sleep disordered adults. Results: Results suggest both measures are easily understood by OSA patients, have adequate internal consistency, and are readily accepted by patients. A preliminary investigation of the validity of these tools, conducted by comparing patient data to that of the 33 healthy adults, revealed that apnea patients knew more about OSA, had more positive attitudes towards continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment, and attributed more importance to treating sleep disturbances than non-clinical groups. Conclusions: Overall, the results of psychometric analyses of these tests suggest these measures will be useful clinical tools with numerous beneficial applications, particularly in CPAP compliance studies and apnea education program evaluations.

Should the knowledge-based economy be a savant or a sage? Wisdom and socially intelligent innovation

Discourse about knowledge-based economies rarely moves beyond the commercialization of science and engineering, and is locked in the discursive limits of functionalism. We argue that these discourses limit the scope of what knowledge-based economies might achieve because they are uninformed by an adequate conception of knowledge. In particular, knowledge management and knowledge-based economy discourse has not included the axiological dimension of knowledge that leads to wisdom. Taking an axiological perspective, we can discuss policy frameworks aimed at producing the social structures needed to bring fully formed and fully functioning knowledge societies into being. We argue that while the dominant discourse of industrial modernity remains rationalist, functionalist, utilitarian and technocratic, knowledge-based economies will resemble a savant rather than a sage. A wisdom-based renaissance of humanistic epistemology is needed to avoid increasing social dysfunction and a lack of wisdom in complex technological societies.

Knowledge management and tourism

The study and practice of knowledge management has grown rapidly since the 90s, driven by social, economic, and technological trends. Tourism has been slow in adopting this app oach due to not only a lack of gearing between researchers and tourism, but also to a 'hostile' knowledge adoption environment. Its acquisition would close the gap and also provide both insights and potential applications for tourism. Research in Australia supports the assertion that this field is a late adopter of knowledge management. In response, this paper provides a model for tourism. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
