Qualificando - ambiente virtual de aprendizagem via Internet

A recente proliferação do uso da Internet como mídia pedagógica no cenário contemporâneo da educação à distância tem gerado discussões e interesse, tanto no meio acadêmico quanto no meio empresarial. A elaboração de metodologias para desenvolvimento de soluções tecnológicas, neste contexto, vem sendo objeto de pesquisa em diversas áreas do conhecimento. Os Sistemas de Informação Web se inserem nesta realidade, particularmente através dos Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem (AVA), sistemas que integram os diversos recursos da Internet passíveis de emprego educacional, como a transmissão de conteúdos multimídia e ferramentas de comunicação e interação, devidamente orientados por uma base pedagógica adequada aos objetivos e pressupostos da iniciativa educacional almejada. Assim, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo a proposição de uma estrutura para desenvolvimento de Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem via Internet. Para tanto, empregou-se a metodologia de pesquisa-ação. Como resultado prático da estruturação proposta, é descrito o AVA via Internet Qualificando, voltado para o ensino à distância de Engenharia de Produção no Departamento de Engenharia de Produção e Transportes da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul.

Tipologia e freqüência de métodos de ensino em disciplinas de formação profissionalizante em engenharia de produção

A globalização dos mercados trouxe, para o cenário brasileiro, impactos políticos, socioecônomicos e culturais enfatizando a figura de um homem, denominado cidadão do mundo. Devido às próprias limitações humanas, em um mundo em que as mudanças são constantes, esse cidadão tem como característica ser um eterno aprendiz. A universidade, locus de produção de identidade do país e cuja função social é formar indivíduos neste novo contexto global, se encontra em um dilema existencial: pesquisa e ensino; a superação dessa dicotomia poderá derivar de novas relações humanas na formação do sujeito-coletivo que constrói sua identidade através das possibilidades de diversidades do mundo que o circunda. Estando na aprendizagem, para a aquisição de conhecimentos ou o desenvolvimento de habilidades e atitudes pelas experiências educativas, o papel do docente como mediador em organizar estratégias (métodos e técnicas de ensino) para que o discente conheça e crie a cultura. O objetivo desta pesquisa é mapear a tipologia e freqüência de métodos de ensino em disciplinas de formação profissionalizante em engenharia de produção. Identificar, através de um estudo teórico e revisão bibliográfica, os tipos e métodos mais utilizados no ensino superior do curso de engenharia de produção, bem como as vantagens, limitações e habilidades desenvolvidas segundo a utilização adequada dessas técnicas. No estudo de caso, se analisam os métodos de ensino e as competências necessárias nas disciplinas profissionalizantes do curso de engenharia de produção mecânica da escola de engenharia de São Carlos cujos métodos de coleta foram através de questionário para os discentes e entrevistas junto aos docentes. Embora haja uma variedade de técnicas socializantes que deveriam atender aos objetivos específicos de cada disciplina, os avanços tornam-se despercebidos pela descrição da técnica. Ao menosprezar a conduta e observação docente (dimensão técnica/ética/política), durante o processo, o docente abdica de sua autoridade no processo de ensino/aprendizagem; as limitações, como a aula expositiva tradicional (centrando o conhecimento no professor), têm se tornado fonte de estagnação, desfavorecendo a amplitude do desenvolvimento do potencial humano e fazendo com que o discente não se torne co-autor de seu processo de aprender a aprender, pois limita sua fonte de investigação, criatividade e anseio de desafio.

Balanced Scorecard como ferramenta de avaliação da consistência estratégica: um estudo em instituição de ensino superior privada

This Master of Science Thesis investigates in an exploratory modeling the idea of strategy consistency applying as an assessment tool a model of performance indicators of a higher education institution based on the balanced scorecard (BSC). It is carried on a review of conceptual BSC perspective hierarchy models and of studies on higher education institution in Brazil and worldwide. From a BSC model with three indicators at each perspective is carried on a case study with directors and coordinators of a private higher education institution with a descriptive and multivariate analysis using cluster analysis. The main findings point to a different perception of respondents on the importance level of the perspectives with a higher importance level given to Learning and Growth and Process that to Customer and Financial. Particularly, the financial perspective got a importance level significantly lower that the others, what suggests an inconsistency on the strategy deployment on the institution considered in terms of the perception of the managerial levels of the importance level of the perspectives

Educação do empreendedorismo: um estudo em instituição de ensino superior

This Thesis deals with entrepreneurship on higher education undergraduate programs. The main objective is investigating the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education in terms of entrepreneurial attitudes and behavior. The study is done on a University that has an entrepreneurship education program on a Business Management undergraduate program. It is conducted a survey using a questionnaire on the Business Management undergraduate students resulting in a random stratified sample of 264 students. The entrepreneurial attitudes variables used are those found on the entrepreneurship literature. The entrepreneurial behavior variables are typical entrepreneurial situations like a decision on how to apply money and if the student would leave a good job to open his or her own company. It is applied multiple regression, cluster, bivariate and chi-square analysis. The main findings are first that it was not found a strong relationship between the entrepreneurial attitudes variables found on the entrepreneurship literature and the behavior situation proposed, with a multiple regression adjusted r2 = 0,30. Second, there is no statistically significant difference among the students comparing different years of the undergraduate program. Finally, the entrepreneurship education in this research appears to be effective in change attitudes toward entrepreneurship but not in changing entrepreneurial behavior. The main theoretical implication is that the entrepreneurship education on higher education level could be effective to change attitudes but changing behavior could goes beyond the possibilities of education on a usual university environment
