A EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR E O PROLETARIADO: O ACESSO ÀS UNIVERSIDADES PELA CLASSE OPERÁRIA NO ABC PAULISTA

A facilidade crescente de acesso à Educação Superior e a necessidade de uma formação profissional mais ampla levaram operários com ensino médio e técnico a frequentar o espaço acadêmico, lugar que fora sempre o direito de uma pequena elite formadora da liderança dominante. O intuito deste trabalho é analisar como a relação do operário comum com o mundo acadêmico das universidades realmente influencia as relações de trabalho da Classe Operária na fábrica. Uma pesquisa em forma de enquete operária foi realizada junto aos metalúrgicos do ABC para o levantamento de dados, levando em consideração o ano de 1996 como marco inicial, tendo como referência o ano da promulgação da LDB 9394/96, ajudando-nos a delinear o novo perfil da Classe Operária do ABC paulista e verificando as possíveis contribuições dadas pelos operários que concluíram ou estão cursando o Ensino Superior.

A EDUCAÇÃO E A SEGURANÇA DO TRABALHO EM ELETRICIDADE FRENTE À NORMA REGULAMENTADORA NR-10

Nossa dissertação tem como objetivo estudar a Educação e a Segurança do Trabalho em Eletricidade frente à Norma Regulamentadora NR-10 (Segurança em Instalações e Serviços em Eletricidade). Segundo os aspectos aparentes da própria NR-10 em seus noventa e nove (99) itens e nos dois anexos de treinamento: curso básico (NR-10) e complementar (Sistema Elétrico de Potência – SEP), sua finalidade consiste na garantia da segurança do trabalho em eletricidade, todavia, a partir de nossa análise (da NR-10) e de nossa experiência no trabalho em eletricidade surgiu à demanda representada na hipótese de que: os trabalhadores em eletricidade percebem que as medidas preconizadas na NR-10 e em seus treinamentos não correspondem integralmente as suas necessidades. Nossa estratégia é testar a NR-10 ao examinarmos: a) sua formatação e aplicação baseada do modelo tripartite; b) seus conceitos de segurança do trabalho; c) as consolidações de seus artigos jurídicos; d) as programações, carga horária, as estratégias didáticas e educacionais de seus treinamentos. Isto é, examinaremos a NR-10 frente aos conteúdos dos processos de Educação, Luta por Saúde e Condições de Vida da Classe Trabalhadora, excepcionalmente do trabalhador em eletricidade.(AU)

The campaign to save Croxteth comprehensive: an ethnographic study of a protest movement

This thesis is based on ethnographic research carried out on a Liverpool protest movement which occurred between November, 1980 and July,1983. The protest movement was waged by residents of the working class community of Croxteth Liverpool who wished to retain their state secondary school, Croxteth Comprehensive. The Liverpool City Council voted in favour of closing Croxteth Comprehensive in January, 1981 because of its declining roles. Residents began theIr campaign as soon as they became aware of intentions to close the school at the end of the previous year. The campaIgn itself went through a number of different phases, distinguishable accordIng to the groups of people involved, the strategy and tactics they employed, the ways in which they justified their campaign, and the goals they pursued. In July of 1982 the organisation which led the protest, the Croxteth Community Action Committee, took illegal possession of the school buildings and ran a pilot summer school project. In September of 1982 they opened the school doors for all secondary pupils on the council estate and began running classes, with the help of volunteer teachers. The school was run successfully in this way for the entire 1982/83 school year. By the end of this period the school was officially reinstated by a new Labour Party majorIty on the city council. This thesis presents a comprehensive account of the entire campaign, from its beginning to end. The campaign is analysed in a number of ways: by situating the closure itself in the economic and political conditions of Liverpool in the 1980s, by examining the relation of Croxteth Comprehensive to its community, by describing the conditions in which different groups of people contributed to the campaign and the changes it went through in its use of tactics, and through a close examination of the activities which took place inside the school during its year of occupation. A number of levels of analysis are used in the study. To explain the closure and the early forms of resistance which developed to oppose it, the structural location of the local government of Liverpool in the late 1970s and early 1980s is described. To explain the relationship of the school to its community, the formation of a group of activists and their leaders, and the resources available to the protestors for pursuing their aims, a single-group model of social action is used. To analyse the establishment of social routines and schooling practices within the school during its occupation, action-theoretica1 models are drawn upon., The chapters of literature review and concept analysis with which this thesis begins link these different levels theoretIcalIy through a model of actIon and its conditions. The theoretical framework employed is reviewed in the last chapter. It is one which could be used to study any social movement, and has applications to other social phenomena as well. Lastly various issues within the sociology of education are examined in light of the events which took place in Croxteth Comprehensive, especially the theory of community education.

The European Patterns of "Homo Academicus“ and The Chances of Its Evolution In Current Hungarian Higher Education

In the recent four or five years, there have been abrupt and radical changes in the governance of Hungarian higher education. It can then be interesting to assess the state of “homo academicus“ as it looks currently in Hungary. The notion of “homo academicus“ is obvious: it concerns participants in the system of a country’s higher education. The paper as follows still comes back to the definition of “homo academicus“ by referring first to it as occupation, or rather as a profession that can be interpreted in terms of sociology. Secondly, some historic patterns can also be mobilised, based on the assumption that university is a very European institutions that is even rooted in the tradition of the Middle Ages. The elbow-room of seeking for identity and the role to be filled by academics are limited by the effective system of the governance of higher education. It is a key to the chances of academics of meeting the historically corroborated professional standards that they exercise academic freedom. As it cannot be done individually, but in cooperation (through a collegial system), academic freedom is always combined with collective action. The field where this freedom can be exercised can be specified through university autonomy, the lack of which makes a serious barrier to the full development of a character of “homo academicus“. This is now the case in Hungary, the paper suggests. The paper seeks to gain deeper understanding of the character of academics, their vocation and professional roles, and the governance of higher education, serving as the environment for academic activity, by creating a conceptual framework. The paper is established on the results of sociological research and the experience of legal management, although it remains to be of theoretical nature. It criticises the current Hungarian situation of the governance of higher education, arguing for the reconstruction of university autonomy and financial stability. It also emphasises the importance of predictable regulations.
