Neutralność płci w szwedzkiej polityce edukacyjnej

The Author discusses the concept of gender neutrality in the context of the Swedish education system. The article is based on critical analyses of the international press discourse, studies of Nordic scholars and on a small-scale empirical study carried out in Stockholm in the autumn of 2014. The study involved non participant observation, interviews with academics associated with the subject matter, interviews with head teachers of schools and nurseries in Stockholm and a number of openquestion, questionnaires completed by teachers and students enrolled in specialist teaching courses at Stockholm University at the time of the study. This triangulation of qualitative techniques allowed the building of an in-depth understanding of what gender neutrality means in educational practice.

University Reforms in the Context of the Bologna Process

Georgia, a former Soviet Union state, has undergone a lot of political, social, economic and of course educational changes. This article shows how Georgia’s higher education system has developed after the collapse of the Soviet Union. As an independent country, Georgia has started developing a free nation with a new type of the education system. The government of Georgia chose the European system of higher education and their major aim was to become a part of the Bologna process. Reforms made in Georgian higher education system have been essential for the country and indeed a lot has changed since the starting period. Georgia managed to hold unified national entry exams and has implemented the ECTS system; there are modern curricula that meet the requirements of European standards. etc. But still, even though a lot is being done, a lack of funding, outdated teaching methods and old facilities in some universities are still unresolved problems.

Training patterns of German companies in India, China, Japan and the USA: What really works?

The transfer of vocational education and training (VET) systems is currently the subject of lively international debate, but there has so far been very little documentation of the process or analysis of how such transfers are achieved in practical terms. This paper therefore considers the potential for transferring Germany’s ‘dual’ vocational training system to German subsidiaries abroad, specifically in China, India, Japan and the USA. Using the EPRG typology as a theoretical framework, the paper systematises the range of training strategies deployed by German subsidiaries. It analyses the findings of interviews with training officers and Directors of Human Resources in more than 40 German subsidiaries abroad. These interviews show clearly that local factors in the host country exert such a strong influence that it is not possible completely to transfer the German VET system to another country. What is more likely is that an accommodation is reached with local VET structures, local labour market conditions and other socio-cultural features. The findings suggest that policy borrowing in the area of VET is likely to be only partial and will be strongly influenced by the national characteristics of the host country. (DIPF/Orig.)

Processo de planejamento estratégico em universidade pública: o caso da Universidade Federal do Pará

The goal of this research is to check if the strategic planning developed between 2001 and 2009 into the State University of Para (Universidade Federal do Pará - UFPA) was consolidated into its Academic Centers as a management practice. To this end, we identified the planning formalization degree of the Academic Centers, the conceived tools for the planning, the conception and the methodological process used in the tools elaboration, as also its implementation. The research used a qualitative approach: it is descriptive and it uses the case study technique. The data were gathered from primary and secondary sources, through bibliography, documents, and field researches through semi-structure interviews. The analysis and data interpretation were done by each investigated Academic Center from the analytics categories guided by the specifics goals. We used theoretic fundamental based principles and the university as a study empiric reference based on its structure analysis, organizational processes and institutional strategic plan. We inspected how the strategic planning process was developed throughout the fixed period and how the investigated Academic Centers are from the collected documents and interviews. The theoretical foundation was built from three axis: the Brazilian undergraduate and posgraduate education system; the university itself including its singularity and complexity as an organization; and the planning as a strategic management process. The main results show us that the UFPA has updated regulatory milestones, presenting organizational structure, laws, instructions, manuals and deployed management model that give the strategic planning development conditions beyond its administration, i. e., into its Academic Centers. The centers also present those established milestones and develop the basic planning processes of the institution. Those processes are conceived based on the institutional strategic planning and the managers mainly use the procedural orientation defined by the university management, from where the conceptual foundation is originated and propagated. According to the literature and to the research done in this work, we can conclude that the Academic Centers from the UFPA developed the strategic planning practice. This planning is organized and founded and guided the plans and decisions which avoided the disordered management and, according to the managers, allowed the advances and performance improvement. We can conclude that the UFPA built an important foundation with respect to the management professionalization. On the other hand, we can not conclude that the management practice is consolidated since there are weaknesses into the structuring of the technical teams and there is not any management tool for the implementation of the elaborated plans

The role of the school library: resource center in the current educational environment

Principle 7 of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child (UN General Assembly, 1959) states in part: "The child has the right to receive education which will be free and compulsory ... You will be given an education that promotes their general education and training on an equal opportunity to develop their individual judgment skills and sense of moral and social responsibility, and to become a useful member of society. " I will expose to you that the school library resource center is the general instrument essential to fulfill this right of the child. Within the comprehensive range of materials and acquisition objective of their materials, school library complements and supports all aspects of the educational program.

El rol de la biblioteca escolar: centro de recursos en el ambiente educacional actual

El principio 7 de la Declaración de los Derechos del Niño (Asamblea General de la ONU, 1959) declara en parte: "el niño tiene el derecho de recibir educación la cual será gratuita y obligatoria... Se le dará una educación que promueva su cultura general y lo capacita sobre una base de oportunidad equitativa para desarrollar sus habilidades su juicio individual y su sentido de responsabilidad moral y social, y para llegar a ser un miembro útil de la sociedad".Yo les expongo a Uds. que la biblioteca escolar centro de recursos es el instrumento general esencial para cumplir este derecho del niño.Dentro del alcance comprehensivo de materiales y la adquisición objetiva de sus materiales, la biblioteca escolar complementa y apoya todos los aspectos del programa educacional.

Son un reto para el maestro bibliotecario o especialista en centros de recursos o cualquier denominación que se use para identificar al bibliotecario escolar. Ellos retan la ingenuidad y creatividad de uno, las aptitudes gerenciales, financieras, la comprensión educativa y conciencia comunitaria, aceptación tecnológica y facilidad de utilización del mismo. Pero, más que todo, ellos retan nuestra habilidad para proveer servicios para estudiantes y maestros con tantas clases de medios como podamos traer nuestros programas.

Patrimoine textile malgache: cas du lambahoany tissé par la cotona d' antsirabe

Le lambahoany est un pagne tissé par une société textile malgache telle que la Cotona d’ Antsirabe. D’ailleurs, il enveloppe le peuple malgache depuis son existence, les hommes comme les femmes, puis les vivants comme les morts. C’est ainsi que le lambahoany occupe une importante place dans la communauté malgache, non seulement comme un panneau de transmission des messages spécifiques mais également pour son rôle au système éducatif social au même titre que les arts virtuels développés aux écoles des arts. Ensuite, il est aussi nécessaire pour sensibiliser des personnes à travers d’un sujet donné. C’est en ce sens qu’il n’est plus un simple pagne mais il s’agit d’un objet patrimonial qui permet d’identifier les malgaches. Alors, leur préservation et leur valorisation se confirme primordial. D’où, la valorisation du lambahoany et sa pérennisation pour les générations futures constituent les principaux objectifs de cette étude; ABSTRACT: The Lambahoany is woven loin cloth by Malagasy textile companies like Cotona Antsirabe. Moreover, it wraps the Malagasy people since its existence, men and women, and the living and the dead. Thus the Lambahoany occupies an important place in the Malagasy community, not only as a sign of transmission of specific messages but also for its role in social education system as well as virtual arts developed schools of the arts. Then it is also necessary to educate people through a given topic. It is in this sense that it is no longer a simple loincloth, but it is a heritage object that identifies the Malagasy. So, their preservation and enhancement confirms paramount. Hence, the enhancement of Lambahoany and its sustainability for future generations are the main objectives of this study.

Política e planeamento linguístico da língua portuguesa na Namíbia : perspetivas de futuro

A importância da língua portuguesa, idioma representado nos cinco continentes, é uma realidade incontornável. Este prestígio linguístico é visível no aumento do número de falantes ao longo das últimas décadas. Hoje em dia, o português é usado como língua de comunicação de aproximadamente 250 milhões de pessoas. Para além da representatividade cultural, técnica, tecnológica e económica que possui nos países de língua oficial portuguesa, esta ocorrência é impulsionada também por países pertencentes a outros espaços linguísticos que se sentem atraídos economicamente por economias de países de língua portuguesa. Nesta dissertação apresenta-se o caso da Namíbia, país situado na África subsaarina que mantém relações político-económicas com países de língua portuguesa e que, por isso mesmo, integrou o português como língua curricular estrangeira no sistema de ensino. Questiona-se os motivos pelos quais o ensino formal de português tem cada vez mais aprendentes, isto é, pretende saber-se se a motivação dos alunos adultos está de facto relacionada com razões estritamente económicas ou não. Para o caso foi elaborado um questionário, aplicado em todos os locais onde o português é aprendido como PLE. Seguindo a mesma linha de dúvidas, pretendia-se também aferir se a política linguística que estava a ser implementada na Namíbia se estava a consolidar ou, se pelo contrário, não se estava a solidificar, e, assim sendo, deixar pistas no sentido de encaminhar o planeamento linguístico para as reais necessidades comunicativas dos informantes e potenciais falantes de português.

The development of an eBook for teaching and learning mathematics

Mobile devices, smartphones, phablets and tablets, are widely avail‐ able. This is a generation of digital natives. We cannot ignore that they are no longer the same students for which the education system was designed tradition‐ ally. Studying math is many times a cumbersome task. But this can be changed if the teacher takes advantage of the technology that is currently available. We are working in the use of different tools to extend the classroom in a blended learning model. In this paper, it is presented the development of an eBook for teaching mathematics to secondary students. It is developed with the free and open standard EPUB 3 that is available for Android and iOS platforms. This specification supports video embedded in the eBook. In this paper it is shown how to take advantage of this feature, making videos available about lectures and problems resolutions, which is especially interesting for learning mathematics.

O envolvimento familiar no processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos alunos com necessidades educativas especiais : o caso da Escola de Ensino Especial de Benguela, Angola

A família é o meio natural em que a criança começa sua vida e sua aprendizagem básica por meio de uma série de estímulos e de vivências que a condicionam profundamente ao longo de toda a sua existência. A escola representa o espaço em que a criança consolida a sua aprendizagem e se prepara para vida futura. A cooperação entre família e escola constitui o pilar fundamental na construção de um processo de ensino aprendizagem de qualidade, sobre tudo para crianças com Necessidades Educativas Especiais (N.E.E). Com base nestes pressupostos o objetivo geral da presente dissertação de natureza qualitativa é aferir o impato do envolvimento familiar no processo de ensino aprendizagem dos alunos com necessidades educativas especiais na cidade de Benguela – Angola, através de inquéritos e entrevistas aplicadas a uma amostra constituída pelos familiares dos alunos, os respetivos alunos, professores e antigos gestores da única escola de Ensino Especial da cidade de Benguela. Os resultados do estudo revelaram um fraco grau de envolvimento familiar, tendo em conta as orientações da Lei, nº 13/01, Lei de Bases do Sistema de Educação (L.B.S.E), e o Decreto Presidencial nº 20/11, sobre o Estatuto da Modalidade de Educação Especial que recomendam a participação indispensável da família na elaboração dos programas (E.M.E.E) educativos dos alunos com N.E.E, bem como os resultados de estudos que ressaltam a importância da relação escola e família para melhoria da qualidade do Ensino Especial em Angola. A dissertação constitui uma abordagem pioneira no contexto em que se insere e o seu valor prático é determinado pelo contributo que os seus resultados podem aportar a compreensão e melhoria da qualidade de ensino e das relações familiares dos alunos com N.E.E num contexto fortemente marcado por barreiras culturais e tradicionais.
