O uso das tecnologias da informação e da comunicação como recurso na administração de uma instituição federal de ensino superior: o caso Universidade do Rio de Janeiro - UNIRIO

O estudo objetivou verificar até que ponto, a Universidade do Rio de Janeiro está se beneficiando da utilização das novas Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação - TIC em suas atividades administrativas. Os resultados mostram que a informatização, com o incremento das TIC, estão em fase de implantação. Onde a rede já é uma realidade, seu uso tem sido pouco explorado. É comum as pessoas usarem a intranet, para navegar na internet e utilizar o correio eletrônico em assuntos pessoais, em vez de aproveitá-la para comunicação administrativa interna ou externa. Este fato confirma que praticamente não houve reflexos efetivos na agilização da comunicação e dos procedimentos administrativos na instituição. Os resultados indicam que as intenções de emprego na administração poderiam ser ainda maiores, caso houvesse maiores facilidades e se fossem incluídas em um planejamento institucional.

Fábricas de software e a academia: análise da formação acadêmica em informática no município do Rio de Janeiro

As Brazil wants to be perceived as a competitor in providing computer applications and system development services in the global market, the concept of Software Factory gains importance. The metaphor for the 'Factory', when applied to the activity of software development, is used to describe organizations which produce software with a minimum quality standard and at competitive costs. However, the term 'Factory' recalls Fordist concepts, which have been challenged for a few decades in the manufacturing industry. This study analyzed university curricula and how students and teachers perceive the concept of Software Factory and assessed them in relation to the Fordism ------------ post-Fordism /continuum/. It was observed that some of the teachers who have influence over curricula define Software Factories according to Fordist concepts. It was also observed that, despite opportunities for improvements, curricula are adequately structured with regards to the skills a professional at these organizations must possess. We conclude that education provided at the programs being analyzed is adequate, but that it must be supplemented by companies or by the professionals themselves so that the knowledge acquired in the programs may be put in practice.
