Vers una cultura d'acollida a la universitat

El treball parteix d'una enquesta realitzada a tots els estudiants de primer de grau de la Universitat de Lleida en finalitzar el Programa d'Acollida que aquesta institució ofereix. Els objectius de l'enquesta són avaluar la funcionalitat del programa d'acollida, a fi d'introduir-hi millores, i també relacionar diverses variables com el grau de motivació inicial dels estudiants, la seva percepció de la utilitat del programa i l'expectativa del seu èxit en els estudis acabats de començar. El treball conclou que aquestes variables estan relacionades estretament i proposa millores a realitzar quant al programa, elements a introduir i la seva extensió en el temps

La Inserció universitaria dels alumnes de primer curs

Partint de que els alumnes que arriben a l'EPS ja han assolit la decisió prèvia de seguir estudis tècnics, i després del primer semestre d'haver iniciat els seus estudis, els proposem una reflexió sobre els seus estudis i la possibilitat d'exposar les seves il·lusions i desencisaments respecte al que n'esperaven de la universitat. Aprofitem per a remarca-els-hi la disponibilitat dels processos que ha organitzat el Centre per a facilitar-els-hi la seva integració als estudis. Aquesta part del procés s'inicia amb l'oportunitat de respondre una enquesta preparada per a fer el seguiment de la seva inserció universitària amb preguntes de resposta oberta que al mateix temps d'ajudar a la verificació del funcionament de les diferents activitats de suport que els dóna l'escola, serveixen de invitació a la reflexió tant per als alumnes matriculats per primera vegada com per als professors i equip de direcció de l'Escola Politècnica Superior de la Universitat de Girona a qui es fan arribar els resultats de les valoracions de l'enquesta

A survey of the implementation status of environmental management systems in U.S. colleges and universities, and, An environmental management system implementation model for U.S. colleges and universities

A census of 925 U.S. colleges and universities offering masters and doctorate degrees was conducted in order to study the number of elements of an environmental management system as defined by ISO 14001 possessed by small, medium and large institutions. A 30% response rate was received with 273 responses included in the final data analysis. Overall, the number of ISO 14001 elements implemented among the 273 institutions ranged from 0 to 16, with a median of 12. There was no significant association between the number of elements implemented among institutions and the size of the institution (p = 0.18; Kruskal-Wallis test) or among USEPA regions (p = 0.12; Kruskal-Wallis test). The proportion of U.S. colleges and universities that reported having implemented a structured, comprehensive environmental management system, defined by answering yes to all 16 elements, was 10% (95% C.I. 6.6%–14.1%); however 38% (95% C.I. 32.0%–43.8%) reported that they had implemented a structured, comprehensive environmental management system, while 30.0% (95% C.I. 24.7%–35.9%) are planning to implement a comprehensive environmental management system within the next five years. Stratified analyses were performed by institution size, Carnegie Classification and job title. ^ The Osnabruck model, and another under development by the South Carolina Sustainable Universities Initiative, are the only two environmental management system models that have been proposed specifically for colleges and universities, although several guides are now available. The Environmental Management System Implementation Model for U.S. Colleges and Universities developed is an adaptation of the ISO 14001 standard and USEPA recommendations and has been tailored to U.S. colleges and universities for use in streamlining the implementation process. In using this implementation model created for the U.S. research and academic setting, it is hoped that these highly specialized institutions will be provided with a clearer and more cost-effective path towards the implementation of an EMS and greater compliance with local, state and federal environmental legislation. ^
