CONTRIBUIÇÃO DOS CURSOS DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO LATO-SENSU PARA A FORMAÇÃO DE GESTORES DE COMUNICAÇÃO ORGANIZACIONAL: ESTUDO DE CASO - GESTCORP

A gestão eficiente da comunicação organizacional representa um diferencial estratégico para qualquer organização, pública ou privada. A conscientização sobre a importância do executivo que fica à frente dessa área aumentou, no entanto, a nova realidade das organizações reduziu ao mínimo o quadro de funcionários de comunicação nas empresas. Esse cenário provocou mudanças na expectativa das competências e atuação do profissional desejado. Junto com o reconhecimento, veio a exigência do mercado de trabalho em encontrar pessoas completas para exercer a função. O Gestor de Comunicação, no cumprimento de seus objetivos, necessitará de uma visão ampla e ética, que contemple ao mesmo tempo, interesses institucionais e interesses dos públicos envolvidos. A atuação profissional à frente dessa área vai requerer, de qualquer indivíduo, domínio de conhecimentos técnicos e teóricos. Habilitar pessoas para atender essa demanda tem sido objetivo de cursos oferecidos em instituições de ensino superior em todas as regiões do país. Essas iniciativas, na maioria das vezes, são promovidas no âmbito da pós-graduação lato sensu. Desse modo, parte deste estudo será dedicada a contextualizar esta modalidade de ensino no universo da pósgraduação brasileira, verificando, inclusive, dados que se referem a sua regulação junto ao MEC. Além disso, o estudo pretende conhecer o contexto e o processo de formação dos profissionais/estudantes que buscam aprimoramento por meio desses cursos. Para atender esse objetivo, analisaremos a experiência de 10 anos de realização do Gestcorp - Curso de Gestão Estratégica de Comunicação Organizacional e Relações Públicas. Trata-se de um curso de especialização oferecido pela Escola de Comunicações e Artes da USP cujo propósito é formar gestores de comunicação organizacional para atuarem em instituições públicas, privadas ou do terceiro setor. Esperamos que este estudo possa esclarecer e/ou responder algumas indagações, entre elas: Qual o perfil do público que busca a especialização em Gestão da Comunicação Organizacional? Quais temáticas estão demandando estudos nesta área? Onde podem atuar estes formandos?.(AU)

INFLUÊNCIA DA COMUNICAÇÃO POLÍTICA NO SISTEMA DE VOTAÇÃO ELETRÔNICO BRASILEIRO

A velocidade da informação e do conhecimento instaurou na sociedade contemporânea uma constante busca pela melhoria dos processos informacionais, com vistas a garantir maior rapidez nos processamentos e resultados. No universo público, as exigências caminham de modo similar, sob o olhar do eleitor cidadão, portanto, a proposta da pesquisa é promover um panorama do sistema eletrônico de votação brasileiro, mais precisamente a Urna Eletrônica e transitar desde a concepção do projeto nos idos da década de 90 até o momento atual, apontando um olhar científico para as ações comunicacionais do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE), no sentido de promover campanhas publicitárias para fomentar a conscientização do sistema informatizado de voto pelos eleitores, supostamente mais rápido e eficiente. A pesquisa utiliza para fins descritivos múltiplas visões da comunicação da urna: por intermédio do órgão mantenedor, os políticos, diretamente envolvidos no pleito competitivo e os consultores políticos, atuantes nas estratégias de bastidores das campanhas eleitorais. Essa diversidade de visões e posições acerca da credibilidade do sistema busca propiciar a pesquisa um caráter de macro compreensão dos impactos de um sistema informatizado em um ambiente democrático.(AU)

TRANSMISSÃO GERACIONAL E A PRESENÇA DA ESCOLA NA FORMAÇÃO DA CONSCIÊNCIA AMBIENTAL Estudo exploratório de famílias que convivem em áreas de proteção aos mananciais

Este projeto de pesquisa trata sobre a influência de processos educacionais e de conscientização junto a dois grupos de famílias, em três gerações, que convivem em áreas de proteção dos mananciais da represa Billings, reservas de produção hídrica de alta importância estratégica para gestão de um ambiente e seus ecossistemas frágeis com uma acentuada necessidade preservacionista e estrutural para a manutenção de sua qualidade para as atuais e futuras gerações. A importância dos resultados obtidos pela pesquisa sobre o longo processo de conscientização destas comunidades são fundamentais para perceber o status em que se encontram, seja a partir das condições e de seu status quanto as relações da escola na formação da consciência ambiental através de observações das condições de vida no próprio habitat, pela questão da terra, da relação fundiária conquistada quanto à propriedade em que residem, pelo esgotamento sanitário, incluindo condição e destino dos dejetos e águas residuárias, origem da água para dessedentação e da gestão sobre as doenças. Além destas questões este trabalho buscou importantes relações quanto às condições das fontes hídricas e seus usos múltiplos pela comunidade local, seja para lazer e consumo de bens naturais, tipos de tratamento da poluição e contaminação ambiental, infra-estrutura e equipamentos públicos existentes como suporte sustentável a qualidade de vida dos cidadãos locais.

O PAPEL DO COORDENADOR PEDAGÓGICO NA FORMAÇÃO DOS PROFESSORES

Esta dissertação de mestrado, na área da Educação, tem como tema central o trabalho de coordenação pedagógica na escola que vem sendo aprimorado aos longo dos últimos anos, dada a evolução da Educação e a conscientização sobre a necessidade de formação continuada por parte dos professores e da equipe gestora em nome de uma melhor qualificação profissional e, consequentemente, da qualidade de ensino. Como problema de pesquisa foi colocado: qual é o papel da coordenação pedagógica na formação continuada dos professores e em que isto resulta em maior compromisso político e social com a educação? Dentre as hipóteses que orientaram o estudo estão as seguintes: a atuação do coordenador pode favorecer a construção de um trabalho articulado, que tenha como objetivo favorecer a autonomia da equipe escolar, enriquecendo a prática profissional e propiciando um exercício de troca de experiências; o exercício de diálogo favorece a superação dos obstáculos e a parceria entre o coordenador e a sua equipe escolar, de forma que, ao serem compartilhados, os problemas possam ser transformados em estímulos para busca de novos caminhos; a Educação Continuada pode ser uma boa alternativa para que o coordenador, no exercício de sua função, prepare a equipe escolar, principalmente os professores, para que, progressivamente, assumam atitudes autônomas frente às situações de conflito que interferem no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. O objetivo geral do estudo foi pesquisar o compromisso político e social dos coordenadores pedagógicos da cidade de Mauá com a educação. Dentre os objetivos específicos apontam-se os seguintes: apresentar uma abordagem histórica sobre o coordenador pedagógico; analisar as atribuições do coordenador pedagógico; analisar a trajetória formativa do coordenador pedagógico; e, discutir a importância da formação continuada para o coordenador pedagógico. Além do embasamento teórico em busca dos objetivos propostos, o estudo contou com uma pesquisa de campo, de natureza qualitativa, com entrevistas a coordenadores pedagógicos e professores, sendo que os resultados, de um modo geral, vão ao encontro das hipóteses adotadas, com destaque para o trabalho da coordenação pedagógica na construção do diálogo entre a equipe e dos caminhos para a formação continuada, requisito esse de extrema essencialidade na Educação e na sociedade atual.

OS DESAFIOS DO PROFESSOR COORDENADOR PEDAGÓGICO NA FORMAÇÃO CONTINUADA DOS DOCENTES DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL: O CASO DA REGIÃO DO VALE DO RIBEIRA/SP

O presente estudo realiza uma análise sobre as funções de trabalho do Professor Coordenador Pedagógico da Rede Pública Estadual de Ensino, considerando os desafios e as contribuições da ação coordenadora e, principalmente, como esse profissional do ensino articula a formação continuada dos docentes e a sua própria formação como educador. As questões norteadoras da pesquisa são: 1. De que forma o Professor Coordenador Pedagógico consegue dar conta da formação dos docentes, durante as reuniões de HTPC Horário de Trabalho Pedagógico e Coletivo? 2.Como consegue cuidar de sua própria formação continuada, diante dos inúmeros entraves e obstáculos, das múltiplas resistências, dos conflitos, das emergências, dos imediatismos e da sobrecarga de trabalho, tendo em vista as relações interpessoais no seio da Escola?

HIV/AIDS: um perfil epidemiológico do vírus e uma análise das práticas seguras, conhecimento e percepção de mulheres

In recent decades, the debate surrounding the consequences of the HIV has passed by great changes. Earlier, prevention campaigns focused risk groups then risk behaviors and ultimately vulnerability. Furthermore, over the years, the dimensions of HIV that emerged in the social environment are these: internalization, heterosexualization, impoverishment and feminization. Based on these contexts, the composition of this study comprises two papers: the former has the overall objective to analyze the epidemiology and incidence of HIV in Brazilian regions in the period from 1980 to 2012; the latter, it aims to find out whether there is the relationship among safe practices, knowledge and perception of women residents in Manaus and Boa Vista cities on the infection by HIV. In paper 1, it was used information from the Health Ministry, as a data source. Besides, it was developed an exploratory and spatial analysis of incidence rates and relative proportion of notified cases. In paper 2, was used as a source of data, the research "Evaluating the process of spatial and epidemic diffusion of HIV in the federal units of Brazil-Northern Region" in 2008. Furthermore, Statistical Techniques of Cluster Analysis, Analysis of Variance, Chi-Square and Logistic Regression were applied. In this paper, it was found that, in Brazilian Regions, the prevalence of reported cases occurred among heterosexuals in men 20-40 year age group and residing in metropolitan areas. It was observed a significant spatial correlation of the incidence rate of reported cases of HIV. It was also noted by the results that have good knowledge and awareness about HIV does not imply, essentially, in a safe sexual intercourse. These results have shown the need public policies geared to the guiding of society, based in educational strategies aiming both information about the virus and its prevention, as well as public awareness for safe sex practices or in stable or not intercourses

“Currículo encarnado”: cartografia simbólica e afinidades pós-coloniais

This thesis has as main objective to reflect about the defining conceptual elements of the embodied curriculum concept, ident ified curriculum conception from the analysis about the rationality employed in the doctoral work of teacher Antonio Fernando Gouvê a da Silva, entitled The construction of the curriculum in popular critical perspective: the significant words to the context ualized practices , written and defended in the Postgraduate Program in Education: Curriculum, in the Pontifícia Catholic University of São Paulo, in 2004. We looked, also, on the problematization of the affinities between postcolonial theories – analytical perspectives towards the discussion about coloniality and their effect on contemporary social weaving – and the embodied curriculum concept. We argue that the reflections present in the aforementioned work bring an articulated curriculum concept based on three conceptual symbiotic elements, namely: negativity, dialogue and praxis, which, by endorsing the possibility of a curricular ingrained practice in the life context of the individuals, have some post - colonial inclinations that lead to the problematizat ion about the neo - colonial manifestations in curricular sphere, outlining a critique of the modus operandi of the colonialism, particularly, in its cultural and epistemic dimension from which the education is inseparable. For that, we used as methodologica l procedure the symbolic cartography, knowledge building strategy systematized by Boaventura de Sousa Santos, which allowed us to construct interpretive maps that enabled the symbolization of the universe which we longed to understand, that is, the concept ual categories mentioned above, which, in our view, underlie the concept of embodied curriculum. In this direction, we anchored ourselves in a meaningful dialogue with the theoretical approach of Paulo Freire and some of his interpreters regarding the disc ussion on curriculum, especially the reflections dev eloped by Antonio Fernando Gouvê a da Silva, and authors whose theoretical developments resonate in prospects for humanization, social justice and empowerment, among which we highlight: Theodor Adorno, Hug o Zemelman, Wilfred Carr, Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez, among others. We seek, in the same manner, on the contributions of authors considered post - colonial, as Hugo Achugar, Gayatri Spivak, Boaventura de Sousa Santos and Enrique Dussel, to name a few, the reason s why we consider the embodied curriculum as a place of political - pedagogical enunciation, conducive to an educational praxis that engages in a curricular work of reality translation in order to see what overwhelms it to, then, elicit the construction of a school curriculum as an awareness project for releasing in relation to what is unjust and inhumane. We consider, finally, that the success of this curriculum embodied translation implies a larger number of speakers mobilized in the production of knowledge that yearns for social emancipation and contribute to the enrichment of human capabilities as the maintenance of the life and the dignity of people.

Fatores que influenciam a predisposição dos usuários em aderir a uma política de segurança da informação

The information constitutes one of the most valuable strategic assets for the organization. However, the organizational environment in which it is inserted is very complex and heterogeneous, making emerging issues relevant to the Governance of information technology (IT) and Information Security. Academic Studies and market surveys indicate that the origin of most accidents with the information assets is the behavior of people organization itself rather than external attacks. Taking as a basis the promotion of a culture of safety among users and ensuring the protection of information in their properties of confidentiality, integrity and availability, organizations must establish its Information Security Policy (PSI). This policy is to formalise the guidelines in relation to the security of corporate information resources, in order to avoid that the asset vulnerabilities are exploited by threats and can bring negative consequences to the business. But, for the PSI being effective, it is required that the user have readiness to accept and follow the procedures and safety standards. In the light of this context, the present study aims to investigate what are the motivators extrinsic and intrinsic that affect the willingness of the user to be in accordance with the organization's security policies. The theoretical framework addresses issues related to IT Governance, Information Security, Theory of deterrence, Motivation and Behavior Pro-social. It was created a theoretical model based on the studies of Herath and Rao (2009) and D'Arcy, Hovav and Galletta (2009) that are based on General Deterrence Theory and propose the following influencing factors in compliance with the Policy: Severity of Punishment, Certainty of Detection, Peer Behaviour, Normative Beliefs, Perceived Effectiveness and Moral Commitment. The research used a quantitative approach, descriptive. The data were collected through a questionnaire with 18 variables with a Likert scale of five points representing the influencing factors proposed by the theory. The sample was composed of 391 students entering the courses from the Center for Applied Social Sciences of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. For the data analysis, were adopted the techniques of Exploratory Factor Analysis, Analysis of Cluster hierarchical and nonhierarchical, Logistic Regression and Multiple Linear Regression. As main results, it is noteworthy that the factor severity of punishment is what contributes the most to the theoretical model and also influences the division of the sample between users more predisposed and less prone. As practical implication, the research model applied allows organizations to provide users less prone and, with them, to carry out actions of awareness and training directed and write Security Policies more effective.

Caracterização físico-química e química do fruto do juazeiro (Ziziphus joazeiro Mart) e avaliação da sua conservação por fermentação láctica

Considering the plant biodiversity in the Brazilian Northeast, whose components can be inserted into sustainable production systems, the jujube (Ziziphus joazeiro Mart.) emerges as to recovery of its fruit. The present study has as objective to characterize the fruit of the jujube under the physical, physicochemical and chemical approach and assess its conservation by spontaneous lactic fermentation under the influence of chloride, sodium, calcium and potassium. According to the legislation, vegetable acidified by fermentation that is subjected to lactic acid fermentation in order to achieve a final product pH less than or equal to 4.5. The results of the physical, chemical and physico-chemistry of ripe fruit jujube showed the potential of this species for agro-processing. The yield of edible portion (91.83%), soluble solids content (18,98º Brix), titratable acidity (0.14% citric acid), pH (5.30) and its composition, divided in moisture (79.01%), protein (2.01%), lipids (0.52%), carbohydrate (17.59%), fiber, ash (0.76%) and its minerals were consistent with the characteristic profile fruits, thus favoring the development of spontaneous lactic fermentation. The minimum pH and titratable acidity observed maximum in the fermentation process under the influence of mixtures of salts (NaCl and KCl NaCl2) values ranged from 3.4 to 3.7 and from 0.54 to 0.95 (% lactic acid), respectively. The profile of the lactic fermentation of fruit of jujube in brine, fermented microbiological quality and the result of analysis of primary sensory prepared preserved, the application of endorsed by the consumer sensory evaluation, more particularly, derived from fermented fruit preserved in the presence of chloride sodium, in accordance with the traditional techniques of lactic fermentation of vegetables. The results of sensory evaluation conducted with 100 consumers (tasters) revealed an acceptance rate equal to 78% of the preserve. Despite restrictions on the sensory acceptability of fermented under the influence of salts (KCl and CaCl2) substitutes sodium chloride, preserved these perspectives presented to balance the optimization of mixtures, health product safety and consumer awareness towards prefer a more healthy product with reduced sodium content.

Preceptoria em profissionais de saúde: viabilizando meios para uma formação pedagógica em hospitais públicos em Natal-RN

This study aimed to construct and carry out a distance course of pedagogical training for health professional performing preceptorship functions in public health institutions. The preceptorship in health is a pedagogical practice that occurs in workplace, led by assistance professionals with teaching position or not, where the vast majority of these acts intuitively, reproducing their own training, confusing transmitting information with education. These preceptors often do not dominate the pedagogical knowledge, necessary for the organization of training activities, such as the various teaching-learning processes and the different assessment types. Student supervision is essential in the training process of students in the health field, and on the occasion of supervised internships that the teaching-learning process is based on practical experience with participation in real life situations and professional work. It was realized an exploratory study, descriptive with qualitative approach, with the development of tutoring teaching course in health as final product. Applied semi structured research instrument from may to july 2014. It were evaluated 162 health professionals who perform the preceptorship, which made it possible define the preceptor's profile and identify the educational requirements related to the educational process, which justified the construction of the program content and the professionals’ perception analysis about preceptorship through identification of three categories: clinic knowledge valuation; valuation of professional orientation and valuation of professional future. The course was available on distance mode through Moodle platform with forty hours of work load from October to November 2014. With the aim of capacitate the health professionals to development of necessary abilities and skills to tutoring performance through thoughts about tutoring concepts, professional training within the curricular guidelines and SUS precepts, the role of health professionals as educators, application of active teaching methodologies, and evaluation methods. The applications were done online through the provided link; 300 vacancies offered, 243 professionals applied, chosen 134 that works on tutoring, where 49 represented professionals that works on the location of the study. The course lasted 45 days, and counted with tutors responsible to interact and evaluate the students. 28 professionals joined the course, 12 concluded. Opportunities were identified to stimulate the involvement, however the professionals’ satisfaction shows that, make an investment on tutors education, starting from the Permanent Education precepts, will provide a bigger appropriation of the knowledge to the education and therefore the awareness of their role as an educator on work ambit, proportioning essential tools to tutors act while enabler of integration between theory and practice and result better teaching-learning process.

Produção de sentidos sobre a militância política de mulheres vinculadas ao MST/RN

Studies show that the theme of gender relations within the MST (Rural Landless Workers Movement) has incorporated some feminist guidelines discussions in the set of its speeches and daily practices. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the production of meanings about the political militancy of women linked to MST in Rio Grande do Norte. The specific objectives sought to identify the continuities and ruptures related to the women's role in the family of the militant women and to investigate the militant’s discursive positioning about their work. The study is configured as a qualitative research, which six women militants linked to the MST at the RN participated. These women occupy the coordination and leadership functions in the movement. We will use a semi-structured interview, initially guided by triggering questions that included, among others, the dimensions: political militancy, family and work as an access tool to the phenomenon. The reports were analyzed from an initial categorization, based on the guiding principles: militancy, family and work, and were based on theoretical perspective of studies about the production of meaning, discursive practices, social psychology and gender studies. The meanings of militancy point to: contribution, hope, recognition, transformation, awareness and fight. The results show that there is always a positivation speech of life, achievements of a formation and about a new place as a woman at stake. These results come justified by the collective investment of struggle, not only for the access to land, but for social rights achievements too. Finally, the MST stands with a discursive agency that contributes to produce in these women not only the way of political participation: but a way to be exercised with collective subjects and their rights.

Integração e interdisciplinaridade no processo ensino/aprendizagem de projeto: o curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Potiguar de Mossoró-RN

Training in Architecture and Urbanism with its general characteristic involves, in its nature, knowledge of various areas (technology, theory, history, representation, and design), being the space of design conception that place where the synthesis of this knowledge is reflected more clearly. We believe that the integrated work in the architectural curriculum can provide an overview of the project, thus contributing to better training of the architect. This research aims to reflect on the role of integration and interdisciplinary in teaching architectural design. This theme has been work recurrently by critics in the teaching area of project and events of the area as the seminars of the Projetar, highlighted by several authors to search integration as an essential pedagogical approach to design education. The work aims to contribute to reflection and awareness of those involved on the importance of integration in the architectural course of project processes. For this, we analyzed the potential and limits of this process in Architecture and Urbanism Course (CAU) at the Universidade Potiguar (UNP) Mossoró, which has the integration and interdisciplinary recorded since the Pedagogical Project of the Course. This analysis will be performed by observing the development of “interdisciplinary work” in the fifth term during the first half of 2014.1. This research concerns an exploratory qualitative study that aims to investigate specific issues on the teaching/learning architecture project and the integration in architecture courses, following a non-participant observation in architectural design classes in the fifth term of CAU/UnP/ Mossoró, and analysis of final products, which would be the work of the last unit of the semester, called “Interdisciplinary work”. Questionnaires for the teachers who participated in the process has been apply via email and analyzed. Reflection supports several other already carried out to identify the difficulties inherent in applying these principles satisfactorily. Noting, however, that interdisciplinarity, in fact, it goes beyond integration and is even more difficult to achieve. In addition to an educational project that incorporates these principles, such as the course of Architecture and Urbanism of the UNP-Mossoró, full adhesion it is necessary by the faculty and students of this teaching philosophy.

Danças Circulares e o Eco-humanismo nas Organizações

A presente dissertação pretende avaliar como os membros das organizações relacionam a prática das danças circulares com elementos do comportamento organizacional. A pertinência desta investigação consiste no fato de estudos e intervenções direcionadas ao comportamento organizacional poderem impactar positivamente o desempenho tanto dos servidores quanto da organização como um todo. As organizações estão enfrentando desafios que demandam teorias e práticas que as fortaleçam, buscando-se atender às necessidades de todos que a compõe. A profundidade dessas mudanças faz com que seja necessário alinhar-se o esforço individual ao grupal. Necessita-se o aprendizado em grupo, o pensamento sistêmico. As danças circulares parecem proporcionar efeitos de bem-estar, segurança, solicitude, cooperação, abertura ao diálogo e eles são extremamente importantes em relação a diversos aspectos da organização, como liderança, hierarquia, motivação, poder, clima organizacional, cultura, comunicação, etc. Seus efeitos, por conseguinte, podem fazê-las importante instrumento que melhore os ambientes de trabalho, além de proporcionarem uma conscientização quanto à importância de levar às organizações o tema da sustentabilidade. A sustentabilidade insere-se no paradigma eco-humanista, alinhado, por sua vez, ao resgate da inteireza do homem. As danças circulares, podem expressar e materializar tal paradigma, de modo a favorecer o comprometimento, a motivação e a participação nas organizações. / This dissertation aims evaluate how the members of organizations relate the practice of circle dances with elements of organizational behavior. Its importance derives in the fact that studies and interventions addressed to the organizational behavior may impact positively both the performance of the workers as well of the organization as a whole. The organizations are facing challenges that need theories and practices to strengthen them, in order to fill the needs of all its members. The depth of the changes makes it necessary to encompass the individual and the grupal efforts. It is necessary the group learning and the systemic thinking. The circle dances seems to provide effects such as well being, security, solicitude, cooperation, openness to dialogue and they are extremely important related to various aspects of organization, as leadership, hierarchy, motivation, power, organizational climate, culture, communication, etc. Its effects, thus, may make them important tool to the betterment of the work environment, besides allow the awareness of the importance to bring to organizations the theme of sustainability. The sustainability is a part of the eco-humanistic paradigm, related to the integrity of man. The circle dance may express and materialize this paradigm, helping commitment, motivation and participation in the organizations.
