GESTÃO DA CULTURA NA UNIVERSIDADE: O NÚCLEO DE ARTE E CULTURA DA UNIVERSIDADE METODISTA DE SÃO PAULO

Essa dissertação resulta de um processo de reflexão autobiográfica, com base no resgate de memórias e vivências do percurso de vida-trabalho da pesquisadora, a partir da experiência na gestão do Núcleo de Arte e Cultura (NAC) da Universidade Metodista de São Paulo (UMESP), desde a sua criação, em 2005. Compreender o processo de criação, constituição e inserção do NAC na UMESP, como também o exercício da gestão cultural nesse espaço universitário, foram objetivos dessa pesquisa, que destaca o diálogo entre Educação e Cultura, mediado pela Arte, a partir da inserção de ações artístico-culturais focadas no respeito às diferenças e na valorização da diversidade humana e cultural. Qual o papel da ação cultural dentro de uma universidade? Como essas ações podem somar com o processo de formação educacional? Que desafios envolveram a construção e constituição do Núcleo de Arte e Cultura da UMESP? Essas são questões geradoras do desenvolvimento desse trabalho, no qual é utilizada a abordagem (auto)biográfica como metodologia de pesquisa. Na narrativa propiciada por essa abordagem, a pesquisadora procurou revisitar e ressignificar, numa perspectiva de produção de conhecimento, memórias e histórias que contribuíram para a construção da sua própria identidade e que alavancaram sua inserção na gestão da Cultura na UMESP, legitimando e firmando a atuação do Núcleo de Arte e Cultura, ao longo dos seus 10 anos de existência. Ao refletir sobre essa práxis, evidenciou-se que trabalhar com as subjetividades é o grande desafio da gestão da Cultura, como também a construção de processos colaborativos, na perspectiva do “fazer com” e não do “fazer para” é o caminho para o fortalecimento e enraizamento das ações.

Peronismo, dictadura y universidades privadas en la Argentina de los años 70

A partir del análisis de normativas universitarias, bibliografía especializada y fundamentalmente fuentes documentales y testimoniales, este artículo aborda la trama del sector universitario privado durante el complejo interregno que significaron los años setentas para la historia reciente Argentina. Observaremos que tras el reingreso del peronismo al poder del Estado en 1973, la alta sustentabilidad adquirida por el sector en años anteriores fue puesta en jaque: conflictos estudiantiles, intervenciones políticas y un crecimiento institucional refrenado, fueron algunos de sus rasgos distintivos. En cuanto a la última dictadura militar (1976-1983), abrió una contradictoria etapa de desarrollo para las universidades privadas. Pese a la alternancia de católicos conservadores en el área educativa y al sesgo privatista identificado como un hito del modelo económico implementado, el sector privado resultó contraído en el marco del avasallamiento más brutal del sistema universitario en su conjunto. Sin embargo, algunas universidades católicas resultaron beneficiadas con importantes estímulos económicos.

O Modelo de gestão participativa do Plano Nacional do Turismo (PNT-2003/2007): a atuação do CONETUR/RN

To implement policies and plans at the tourist sector involve disposition to the establishment of parceries among government and private initiative, space to the action of studious, researchers and professionals of several areas of knowledge and formation, able of to give new courses no only at the tourism, but to the economy how a every, seen which the tourism had a effect multiplicator, reaching 52 sectors of the economy. At this sense, the Brazil came pruning for a new phase of politic actuation at the touristy activity. Until the year 2002, the tourism politic in the Brazil no had detail, because herself treated of isolated actions and many without continuity. However, at to start 2003, several actions were developed in order to contribute for the national touristy planning. The principal was the creation of Ministério do Turismo, accompanied of the formulation and implementation of the Plano Nacional do Turismo (2003/2007). This work pretend to understand the implementation at the Rio Grande do Norte of the model of participative administration extolled by Plano Nacional do Turismo. The your centre detail the action of the Conselho Estadual de Turismo do Rio Grande do Norte (CONETUR), to promote the participation at the tourism public policies. The bibliographical research contemplated diverse sources in order to compile knowledge of credential authors in the quarrel of inherent subjects to the participation and to the tourism public policies, especially at the Brazil. A qualitative perspective the case study was adapted as research method and for attainment of the data interviews with the members of the Conselho had been carried through beyond consultation the referring documents the dynamics of functioning of the Conselho. The principal actuations of the CONETUR, the directives tourism public policies already made and directed to implementation, the type of participation at made decision, the principal difficulties of the implementation of the participative administration model of the Plano Nacional do Turismo and the degree of participation of the members of the Conselho at the reunions had been identified. The results had shown that exist some difficulties at the implementation of the participation at the Conselho Estadual de Turismo do Rio Grande do Norte, knowledge of the Conselheiros of CONETUR function, the presence of bodies which doesn t directly connected at the touristy activity; the absence of time of the Conselheiros to be presents at reunions; the discontinuity of the presidency of the Conselho; among others. So, the CONETUR show himself how a Conselho with participative characteristics, but with some adapted needs.

Práticas interdisciplinares no ensino superior: a experiência do curso de graduação em administração da UNAMA - Pará

This work addresses the study of interdisciplinarity in higher administration education, a topic of great relevance in the present context, due to guidelines issued by Ministry of Education through the National Curriculum Guidelines -NCGs for undergraduate courses in Management. The attention on the subject emerges from the gained experience of a researcher and teacher working as manager of an undergraduate course in Business Administration who set up interdisciplinarity through interdisciplinary projects in a management course pedagogical project at a private university in State of Pará/Brazil. The work rebuilds and reports experiences, and studies the practice of lecturers involved in those interdisciplinary actions. The study aimed to identify changes in pedagogical practices of teachers involved in the searched interdisciplinary experience. To address the questions that directed the work and achieve proposed objectives, from a qualitative approach, a significant bibliographical and documentary work was conducted on the topic. In the survey carried out on secondary sources such as publications of major authors and scientific papers reporting interdisciplinary experiences in higher administration education, it was found that interdisciplinarity for its ambiguous character is still poorly understood by teachers, and reports on its application in administration teaching are incipient. This study also used data collected from primary sources, from dialogues through interviews with educational fellows - teachers and officers of the institution that served as locus of the research, who had the opportunity to experience the studied interdisciplinary experience. Data were processed and analyzed using content analysis technique. Research results showed that teachers of the institution of research have a good understanding of meaning of interdisciplinarity as a link between disciplines; it was also found substantial evidence of changes in teaching practices and actions of such teachers based on their participation in interdisciplinary projects. Although the experience studied can be considered innovative and challenging, much needs to be done in the course management for achievement of interdisciplinary actions in the course, particularly regarding to the removal of institutional, methodological, psychosocial, epistemological obstacles in operationalizing interdisciplinary practices, with emphasis on the need of a process of continuous and specific training aiming at developing skills for interdisciplinary acting, to the extent that these education professionals do not perceive themselves able to act as interdisciplinary lecturers

PROPUESTA PARA LA CREACIÓN DE UNA BIBLIOTECA VIRTUAL EN LA UNIVERSIDAD LATINOAMERICANA DE CIENCIA Y TECNOLOGÍA ULACIT

La Universidad Latinoamericana de Ciencia y Tecnología (ULACIT) es una universidad privada que fomenta el desarrollo de la ciencia y la tecnología entre sus estudiantes. Además, ULACIT participa en el proceso de acreditación nacional ante SINAES” (Sistema Nacional para la Acreditación de la Educación Superior).Pese a esto y conscientes de la importancia que conlleva una buena biblioteca en una institución de educación superior, se ha visto que la biblioteca de esta Universidad no reúne las condiciones necesarias para responder a las demandas y exigencias que el usuario de hoy requiere de ellas. Por lo contrario, se carece de tecnología actualizada para prestar servicios documentales de información y de interacción académica, que se ajuste a los propósitos de la institución.

Hábitos saudáveis na velhice : efeitos de uma intervenção psicoeducativa com homens idosos

O presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar os efeitos de uma intervenção psicoeducativa em grupo que foi planejada para fortalecer o autocuidado em idosos do sexo masculino. Participaram treze homens recrutados em um Centro de Convivência para Idosos em funcionamento em uma universidade privada localizada em Brasília, Brasil, com idades entre 62 e 78 anos (M= 69,5), todos eles casados, alfabetizados, aposentados e com doenças crónicas. Dados referentes aos hábitos de vida dos idosos foram obtidos mediante entrevistas individuais conduzidas antes e após o engajamento destes em nove encontros temáticos em grupo embasados no modelo cognitivo-comportamental. Os resultados evidenciaram o fortalecimento, no repertório comportamental dos participantes, da prática de exercícios físicos, de um padrão de alimentação saudável e de comportamentos assertivos, além da maior ênfase em crenças quanto aos benefícios de condutas promotoras de saúde. A intervenção mostrou-se vantajosa para maximizar hábitos de vida saudáveis, embora tenha evidenciado efeitos maiores para sensibilização e manutenção do que para modificação de comportamentos. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT

El objetivo del presente estudio es estimar la prevalencia y los factores asociados, en población administrativa y docente de una universidad privada.

Ex combatientes y proceso de reintegración: representaciones sociales de un grupo estudiantes del área de la salud

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo describir las representaciones sociales de un grupo de estudiantes del área de la salud frente a los excombatientes de grupos armados al margen de la ley en Colombia y frente a los procesos de reintegración. El estudio es cualitativo, desde un enfoque procesual de la teoría de las representaciones sociales, participaron estudiantes del área de la salud de una universidad privada de la ciudad de Bogotá. Los datos fueron recogidos mediante un ejercicio de asociación libre para conocer el componente semántico de las representaciones y una entrevista semiestructurada de forma individual con el fin de identificar las dimensiones de información, actitud y campo representacional. Se encontró la prevalencia de prejuicios hacia los excombatientes y la influencia de los medios de comunicación en el nivel y calidad de la información sobre estos objetos de representación, y se identificó una ambigüedad frente al proceso de reintegración; lo que de alguna forma sugiere las dificultades para la inclusión de este grupo a la sociedad, la presencia de una discriminación negativa y las bajas expectativas frente a procesos de cambio en el marco del proceso de paz.

A university-based clinical exercise facility that serves as a clinical, teaching and research space

Deakin University opened its Clinical Exercise Learning Centre (CELC) in May 2011, initially staffed by four (now seven) Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEP), and funded by the university. The main objectives of CELC are to provide (i) excellent clinical practicum learning opportunities for postgraduate students enrolled in the Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology that prepare students for subsequent external placements; (ii) learning opportunities that are vertically integrated with the preparatory components of the Masters, including pathophysiology units and pre-clinical units; (iii) learning opportunities that are also integrated with the external clinical practicum program that is embedded in the Masters; (iv) a clinical service to the community and strong referral networks with local GPs; (v) a research centre that is focussed on evaluating the efficacy of Accredited Exercise Physiology (AEP) services for a range of clinical situations, with a view to contributing to a future national evidence-based practice network supported by ESSA. Deakin University funds the CELC facility, equipment, consumables, limited car parking, practice management software and server and, most importantly, the staff. Therefore CELC runs at a loss even against fees charged and this was built into the original model. Staff include an AEP clinical practicum coordinator, two casual AEPs and several academic AEPs; the latter practise as a small part of their approved workloads. The practice model is for all AEPs to provide clinical services with referred clients who are billed as if CELC is a private practice, whilst concurrently teaching and mentoring students; the latter are expected to be active learners in CELC and have exposure to a wide range of pathologies and clinical situations. Billable hours are always provided by AEPs, not students, but students can assist. CELC provides clinical services 1:1:1 (client: AEP: student), 1:1:5 and 8:1:5. CELC was awarded national runner-up in the ESSA Exercise Physiology clinic of the year in 2011 and has grown its caseload to > 200 referrers in 2013. CELC recently designed a generic research platform and has begun to roll out research projects that are designed to translate 'traditional' research-based evidence of exercise benefits for chronic disease in order to evaluate AEP efficacy of practice in the Australian context. CELC provides a model for other universities, provided those universities see it for its learning value, and not to generate revenue or profit.

What student attributes affect experience of PBL in Virtual Space?

Some Engineering Faculties are turning to the problem-based learning (PBL)paradigm to engender necessary skills and competence in their graduates. Since, at the same time, some Faculties are moving towards distance education, questions are being asked about the effectiveness of PBL for technical fields such as Engineering when delivered in virtual space. This paper outlines an investigation of how student attributes affect their learning experience in PBL courses offered in virtual space. A frequency distribution was superimposed on the outcome space of a phenomenographical study on a suitable PBL course to investigate the effect of different student attributes on the learning experience. It was discovered that the quality, quantity, and style of facilitator interaction had the greatest impact on the student learning experience. This highlights the need to establish consistent student interaction plans and to set, and ensure compliance with, minimum standards with respect to facilitation and student interactions.
