Teaching, research and service: Experience and opinions of accounting Spanish academics

Research, teaching and service are the main activities carried out in almost all European universities. Previous research, which has been mainlycentred in North-American universities, has found solid results indicatingthat research and teaching are not equally valued when deciding on facultypromotion. This conclusion creates a potential conflict for accountingacademics on how to distribute working time in order to accomplish personalcareer objectives. This paper presents the results of a survey realisedin two European countries: Spain and the United Kingdom, which intendedto explore the opinions and personal experience of accounting academicsworking in these countries. Specifically, we focus on the following issues:(i) The impact of teaching and service on time available for research;(ii) The integration of teaching and research; (iii) The perceived valueof teaching and research for career success and (iv) The interaction betweenprofessional accounting and accounting research. The results show thatboth in Spain and in the United Kingdom there is a conflict between teachingand research, which has its origin in the importance attached to researchactivities on promotion decisions. It also seems evident that so far, theconflict is being solved in favour of research in prejudice of teaching.

Balancing the role of the dental school in teaching, research and patient care; including care for underserved areas

Inequalities within dentistry are common and are reflected in wide differences in the levels of oral health and the standard of care available both within and between countries and communities. Furthermore there are patients, particularly those with special treatment needs, who do not have the same access to dental services as the general public. The dental school should aim to recruit students from varied backgrounds into all areas covered by the oral healthcare team and to train students to treat the full spectrum of patients including those with special needs. It is essential, however, that the dental student achieves a high standard of clinical competence and this cannot be gained by treating only those patients with low expectations for care. Balancing these aspects of clinical education is difficult. Research is an important stimulus to better teaching and better clinical care. It is recognized that dental school staff should be active in research, teaching, clinical work and frequently administration. Maintaining a balance between the commitments to clinical care, teaching and research while also taking account of underserved areas in each of these categories is a difficult challenge but one that has to be met to a high degree in a successful, modern dental school.

Accessibility instruments for planning practice: bridging the gap between academic research and decision-making.

One of the core objectives of urban planning practice is to provide spatial equity in terms of opportunities and use of public space and facilities. Accessibility is the element that serves this purpose as a concept linking the reciprocal relationship between transport and land use, thus shaping individual potential mobility to reach the desired destinations. Accessibility concepts are increasingly acknowledged as fundamental to understand the functioning of cities and urban regions. Indeed, by introducing them in planning practice, better solutions can be achieved in terms of spatial equity. The COST Action TU1002 "Accessibility instruments for planning practice" was specifically designed to address the gap between scientific research in measuring and modelling accessibility, and the current use of indicators of accessibility in urban planning practice. This paper shows the full process of introducing an easily understandable measure of accessibility to planning practitioners in Madrid, which is one of the case studies of the above-mentioned COST action. Changes in accessibility after the opening of a new metro line using contour measures were analyzed and then presented to a selection of urban planners and practitioners in Madrid as part of a workshop to evaluate the usefulness of this tool for planning practice. Isochrone maps were confirmed as an effective tool, as their utility can be supplemented by other indicators, and being GIS-based, it can be easily computed (when compared with transport models) and integrated with other datasets.

A tudományterületi sajátosságok következményei a kutatásban, az oktatásban és a felsőoktatási intézmények vezetésében (The consequences of disciplinary difference on teaching, research and institutional management of higher education)

A szerző tanulmányában vizsgálja a tudományterületek különbségeinek következményeit az oktatásban, a kutatásban és a felsőoktatási intézmények irányításában. A tanulmány első felében a tudományterületek episztemológiai és közösségi különbségeit tárgyalja Becher és Trowler (2001) népszerű kategorizálása alapján. A tanulmány második felében a tudományszerveződésre, a publikációs gyakorlatra, a doktori képzésre, az oktatás céljára és formáira, a diákok tudásképére, valamint a menedzsmentfelfogásra gyakorolt hatást mutatja be. A konklúzióban egyrészt a minőség- és teljesítményértékelési rendszerek differenciált megközelítésének szükségességére hívja fel a figyelmet, másrészt arra, hogy a Bologna-rendszer és az élethosszig tartó tanulás erősödésének következményeként egy-egy mesterszakon nemcsak a hallgatóság háttere, előismerete lesz sokszínű, hanem a tudásról alkotott képe is. Ez újfajta oktatói szerepeket és oktatási megközelítéseket tesz szükségessé. ________ In the article the consequences of disciplinary difference on teaching, research and institutional management is examined. In the first part of the paper the epistemological and sociological differences of scientific disciplines are summarized based on the popular typology of Becher and Trowler (2001). In the second part the influence of differences on organisation of sciences, publication practices, PhD studies, the goal and form of teaching, students’ conception of knowledge as well as on the understanding on management and leadership are discussed. In the conclusions, attention is drawn on the necessity of differentiation in quality and performance management processes. Another conclusion is that new roles for teachers and approaches for teaching is required if students’ conception of knowledge become more heterogeneous which is the result of result of life long learning and Bologna-reform.

AS INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO SUPERIOR DA CIDADE DE GUARUJÁ (SP) E A INSTITUCIONALIZAÇÃO DAS ATIVIDADES DE EXTENSÃO

O presente trabalho possui como objetivo geral a análise da institucionalização da extensão universitária, tendo como foco as instituições de ensino superior (IES) particulares do município de Guarujá (SP). A pesquisa se justifica pela importância que a extensão tomou no contexto da educação no Brasil, tendo em vista a indissociabilidade entre Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão. A pergunta norteadora é: De que forma a institucionalização dos projetos de extensão universitária vem sendo administrada nas IES do município de Guarujá (SP)? Como objetivos específicos foram delimitados: a) Identificar as concepções políticas, assim como as práticas extensionistas declaradas pelas IES e b) Analisar a visão do gestor na administração da extensão no que tange a sua institucionalização. A abordagem metodológica foi de cunho qualitativo, exploratório, por meio de estudos de casos múltiplos. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram documentos e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os principais resultados encontrados foram: 1) A execução dos projetos de extensão é realizada de forma burocrática somente para cumprir requisitos legais e políticos; e 2) A institucionalização dos projetos de extensão é feita de forma lenta somente com objetivos legais e/ou políticos para atender uma parcela da população no entorno da instituição, porém sem fins sociais legítimos no que tange à essência dos valores de extensão universitária. Constatou-se, portanto, a ausência da indissociabilidade entre ensino, pesquisa e extensão

DE PROFESSORA À PESQUISADORA: A FORMAÇÃO DA IDENTIDADE DOCENTE NO ENSINO SUPERIOR

Esta pesquisa refere-se à formação da identidade docente no Ensino Superior que se caracteriza pela indissocialibilidade entre o ensino, a pesquisa e a extensão. A metodologia utilizada é a História Oral, por meio de Relatos Orais de Vida de quatro professoras que lecionam na pós-graduação de uma universidade privada. A principal fundamentação teórica: António Nóvoa, (1988, 2009), Luis Antonio Cunha (1980, 1997), Dermeval Saviani, (2001), Antonio Joaquim Severino, (2001), Carlos Benedito Martins, (1981, 2002), Gaston Pineau, (2006) e Maria Isaura de Pereira Queiroz, (1988, 1999, 2010). A noção de identidade profissional docente advém das posturas e concepções atribuídas por diferentes discursos e agentes sociais aos professores e às professoras no exercício de suas variadas atividades docentes em distintos contextos, ou seja, em distintas instituições de ensino. Analisa-se o exercício da docência do ensino superior e os saberes desta profissão, os quais tanto possibilitam a formação de futuros docentes com uma visão da importância da metodologia científica, quanto proporciona um salto de qualidade e de atualização contínua condizente com as exigências do ensino superior, atreladas à importância da responsabilidade social.
