Desde a criação do Facebook, diversas utilidades da sua plataforma foram direcionadas à educação. Atualmente, vários estudos têm sugerido o seu uso como ferramenta de construção colaborativa no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho pretende analisar referenciais teóricos para identificar o uso do Facebook como ferramenta colaborativa e assinalar ações de gestão e planejamento nas instituições de ensino superior para o adequado funcionamento e uso deste pelos docentes e discentes para tal uso. Pelas revisões realizadas, pode-se observar que, devido à ubiquidade das redes sociais e à ampla penetração do Facebook entre os jovens e universitários, essa ferramenta possibilita maior comunicação, interação e flexibilidade no ambiente universitário, bem como é promissora ao estender a aprendizagem para além do tempo da aula, promovendo a autonomia do aprender. Dessa forma, as universidades têm um importante papel ao planejar adequadamente o uso das tecnologias de comunicação e informação, além de tomar medidas junto aos professores e alunos para o êxito do uso do Facebook como ferramenta de apoio ao ensino dentro do contexto geral de aprendizagem colaborativa.Palavras-chave: Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem.

Currently, several studies have suggested their use as a collaborative tool in the teaching learning processes. In this sense, this work intends to analyze theoretical references to identify the use of Facebook as a collaborative tool, and mark management actions and planning in higher education institutions for proper operation and use by teachers and students. Due to the ubiquity of social networks, and the widespread penetration of Facebook among young and undergraduate students, this tool allows their greater communication, interaction and flexibility in the university. Thus, in addition to promising the extension of learning beyond the class time, it promotes the autonomy of learning. In this way, universities play an important role in properly planning the use of information and communication technologies, and to take management actions with teachers and students to successfully use Facebook as a collaborative learning tool.

The subject of the research presented in this article is evaluation of competence of Geography and Entrepreneurship teachers and students who are teachers-to-be. In the teacher training process the crucial role is played by competences, developed mainly in the course of studies and during school practice. The author of this article has for over ten years conducted research on the students’ development of subject competence and didactic competence including the research on Geography teacher-trainees. Personal and interpersonal competencies of graduates of higher education significantly affect their chances on the ever-changing labour market. The presented research results should become an impulse for further analyses and reflection concerning the development of competence in teacher-trainees. Research in this area should successfully contribute to optimization of the teacher-training process, including Geography and Entrepreneurship teachers (not only in Poland), and to the development of an effective and efficient model of education and competence acquisition by graduates.

Purpose The purpose of this article was to extend the concepts of systems of oppression in higher education to the clinical setting where communication and swallowing services are delivered to geriatric persons, and to begin a conversation as to how clinicians can disrupt oppression in their workplace. Conclusions As clinical service providers to geriatric persons, it is imperative to understand systems of oppression to affect meaningful change. As trained speech-language pathologists and audiologists, we hold power and privilege in the medical institutions in which we work and are therefore obligated to do the hard work. Suggestions offered in this article are only the start of this important work.
