This contribution focuses on the organizational climate of universities and their facultiepp. After providing theoretical background for the topic of organizational climate and description of research realized abroad and its methods, the development itself of the tools for research on perception of the organizational climate of faculties providing teacher training by the academic workers is introduced. It is represented by a concept of three versions of a questionnaire and one sheet of semi-structured interview. Research tools are characterized and their specifications are provided. For illustration purposes, descriptions and interpretations of results of realized research at three faculties are provided. Because of the nature of the topic the results cannot be compared. Data gathered during this phase of the research do not enable to define standardpp. Descriptive statistics therefore represent the basis for the interpretation. Process of lifelong learning and education is applied also in the university environment as one of the factors influencing the organizational climate at the workplacepp. Concerning the academic workers lifelong learning and education is implicitly expected.

Training Objective

Objetivo: averiguar as ações pedagógicas adotadas por docentes de um curso de Licenciatura em Educação Física para abordar a escola no decorrer das aulas. Métodos: participaram da pesquisa 41 acadêmicos do último ano e 18 professores permanentes de um curso de Licenciatura em Educação Física, os quais participaram de entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram tratados por meio de análise de conteúdo, com a utilização do software de análise qualitativa NVivo 10. Resultados: Os resultados demonstram que os professores, de modo geral, estabelecem relações entre os conteúdos e a escola por meio de discussões nas salas de aula na universidade, ou ainda promovem aulas simuladas, nas quais os acadêmicos planejam e ensinam conteúdos para a própria turma no ambiente universitário. No entanto, constatou-se que são raras as ações que oportunizam a aproximação entre teoria e prática, por meio de encontros, visitas, aulas e demais práticas de ensino no contexto escolar da Educação Básica. Conclusão: reforça-se a necessidade de possibilitar ao futuro professor de Educação Física a sua imersão na realidade da escola, como forma de vivenciar in loco os elementos básicos e aplicados do ser professor.ABSTRACT.  Pedagogical actions linked to school in the physical education initial training. Objective: to investigate the pedagogical actions adopted by professors of a degree in Physical Education to approach the school in the course of the classes. Methods: thirty-one students of a last year course and eighteen permanent professors from a Physical Education degree participated in the study, by a semi-structured interview. The results were treated through content analysis using the NVivo 10 qualitative analysis software. Results: the results demonstrate that professors, in general, establish relationships between content and school through discussions in the classroom university, or they promote simulated classes in which students plan and teach content for their own class in the university environment. However, it has been observed that there are few opportunities in which the approach between theory and practice is approached through meetings, visits, classes and other teaching practices in the school context of Basic Education. Conclusion:  the need to enable the future Physical Education teacher to be immersed in the reality of the school is reinforced as a way of experiencing in practice the basic and applied elements of being a teacher.

Different authors report a deep transformation of the classic mission of the University which this article proposes to identify as new paradigms (lifelong learning and learning based competencies), new perspectives (internationalization and employability), and new values (social responsibility and sustainability). Different international organizations account for and promote this trend. In order to delve into the characteristics and scope of the changes, a study has been carried out. It examines documents published in the last 10 years by three international organizations in the field of education: UNESCO, OECD and OEI. To achieve this goal, a systematic document screening process was carried out. The following aprioristic dimensions were identified in the selected materials: lifelong learning, competency-based learning, internationalization, employability, social responsibility and sustainability. In addition, associated emerging themes were sought. The result of the study allows us to provide evidence on the issue and make a useful documentary classification available to continue investigating global trends in the university environment.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the perceptions of student leaders of the undergraduate course in Nursing about the motivations and/or risk factors for substance use in the university environment. Method: qualitative, transversal, descriptive study developed in a university campus in the state of São Paulo. Thirty members of associations affiliated with the course in Nursing participated. A questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were used, and the information was subjected to content analysis. Results: the influence of the social environment was the central element in the results. The circumstances of the context, some conditions that favor the use of substances and the students’ expectations regarding their use were perceived as risk factors, among which the influence of friends (96%), curiosity and search for fun (93%) stood out. Final considerations: alternatives in the university context, in conjunction with student leaders, aimed at reducing the exposure to physical and psychological suffering, constitute important resources to prevent substance abuse.

Abstract The study is of empirical character. It presents a story of a kindergarten which is a private, a company and a university kindergarten. The establishing authority is a university that can preferentially accept children of its employees. The parents of the children financially contribute to running the kindergarten.The research was based on the strategy of a one-case study. This integrated quantitative and qualitative research approach. Data from two types of questionnaires were used in the study presenting interviews with parents, teachers, students in teacher training and members of the school board, as well as data from observations of the educational process and from the analyses of the available school documentation. The aim was to describe the kindergarten and the contexts in which it operates, explain its operation and clarify the mechanics, circumstances and subjects it is most influenced by. Three basic factors influencing the school’s operation and fulfilling its function emerged from the collected data: the relations with the establishing authority, the community of university-educated parents and the status of a faculty school providing space for practical training of the students in teacher training. The major conclusion that emerged from the study is: The kindergarten works in specific conditions with strong contextual conditioning linked to the university environment and the authority’s conditions.

This article describes a study that examined the lifelong learning of information systems academics in relation to their normal work. It begins by considering the concept of lifelong learning, its relationship to real-life learning and that lifelong learning should encompass the whole spectrum of formal, non-formal and informal learning. Most world governments had recognised the importance of support for lifelong learning. Borrowing ideas and techniques use by Livingstone in a large-scale 1998 survey of the informal learning activities of Canadian adults, the study reported in this article sought to uncover those aspects of information systems academics’ lifelong learning that might lead policy setters to understand the sources of learning valued by these academics. It could be argued that in the past the university sector was a leader in promoting the lifelong learning of its academic staff, but recent changes in the university environment around the world have moved away from this ideal and academics interviewed from many countries all report rapidly decreasing resources available for academic support. In this environment it is important to determine which learning sources are valued by information systems academic so that informed decisions can be made on support priorities.

Formación Docente

  La formación docente es un asunto que ha cobrado importancia en Chile producto de cambios derivados de nuevas políticas emanadas desde el Mineduc, específicamente las contenidas en la ley 20.903, la cual puso como intención mejorar la formación de los futuros profesores generando una serie de cambios que, entre otros, revalorizaron las prácticas en la formación docente, buscando posibilitar la articulación entre lo aprendido en la universidad y lo requerido en el contexto escolar. El presente estudio tiene por objetivo develar los componentes que se precisan para el desempeño de la práctica profesional desde la perspectiva y significado que le otorgan los integrantes de la triada formativa. Se orientó metodológicamente como investigación cualitativa con un diseño fenomenológico, considerando para la recogida de información la entrevista semiestructurada, la que se aplicó a una muestra de participantes que cumplían con los criterios de inclusión. Los resultados muestran que los significados se orientan en tres grandes focos: formación docente, práctica pedagógica y triada formativa, los cuales integran una serie de competencias, responsabilidades y acciones que deben ser consideradas para el óptimo desempeño de la práctica profesional en un estudiante de pedagogía en educación física.  Abstract. Teacher training is an issue that has become important in Chile as a result of changes arising from new policies emanating from Mineduc, specifically those contained in Law 20.903, which intended to improve the training of future teachers generating a series of changes that, among others, revalued the practices in teacher training, seeking to enable the articulation between what was learned in the university and what was required in the school context. The purpose of this study is to reveal the components required for the performance of professional practice from the meanings given by tutor teachers, mentoring teachers and pedagogy students in physical education. It was methodologically oriented as qualitative research with a phenomenological design, considering for the collection of information the semi-structured interview, which was applied to a sample of subjects who met the criteria of inclusion. The results show that the meanings are oriented in three main focuses: teacher training, pedagogical practice and training triad, which integrate a series of competencies, responsibilities and actions that must be considered for the optimal performance of professional practice in a student of pedagogy in physical education.
