This study aims to assess whether WhatsApp as a pedagogical space can be considered an instrument of participatory management, according to an educational institution's experience in the northern region. It is qualitative work. We researched five subjects who use this application as a pedagogical space to detect their perception of their effectiveness in using this instrument for this purpose. The results showed that this communicational tool could contribute to implementing participatory management in professional and technological education institutions.

The aim of this study was to analyze the association between institutional variables and the performance of Accounting and Administration students. The microdata of Enade 2018 were used, obtaining 152,491 valid observations. Performance was measured in three ways: final performance, performance in the general training test and performance in the specific component test. In addition, the following institutional variables were considered: academic organization, region, modality and shift. The data were examined using zero adjusted Box Cox Cole Green (BCCG) regression models. The results indicated the institutional variables were relevant to explain the performance. Specifically, it was staked students enrolled in federal centers of technological education had superior performance than the other forms of academic organization. Another relevant point was the students in the North region performed worse than other regions in general. However, they outdid the students from Central-East region in the issues of general training. Regarding the teaching modality, it was found that students of face-to-face teaching presented higher performance than the distance learning students (DL). And the full-time students had better performances overall. As implications, it is pointed out that institutions offering Accounting and Administration courses in the Northern region may want to improve the quality of education, as well as those of the Centre-Western shall want to do so in relation to general training education. Similarly, the teaching on the DL modality can be improved and the offer of full-time courses can be thought of and potentially implemented.

Master’S Degree

Scientific production within undergraduate and graduate courses has its importance for the construction of a new way of thinking of the student. The Professional Master’s Degree in Professional Education in National Network (ProfEPT) unites disciplinary content, pedagogical knowledge, and the final academic production and links them to real situations of educational practice, and the final work can be presented in various ways (articles, books, educational products). The academic production, both of the advisor and the guiding, in addition to the importance related to scientific dissemination, has weight in the evaluation of the program and also in its maintenance. The objective of this work is to quantitatively show the academic and educational production of a master’s student in Professional and Technological Education (EPT) from the Institute of Education, Science and Technology (IFAP) of Macapá, Amapá, Amazônia, Brazil. During the master’s degree, scientific production in various forms proved necessary during the training process. Uniting the theory with the practice of writing, facilitated the production of the dissertation that should be presented at the end of the course. Through the organization process, planning of ideas resulted in a new thought structured according to the standards of the academy, but that is not limited to this space and norms. The production during the master’s degree seeks to contribute both quantitatively and qualitatively to the scientific production of the northern region, positively impacting it and the master’s program. In addition to the importance in the contribution of scientific creation and dissemination, the productions tend to positively impact the evaluation and maintenance of the PROFEPT-IFAP program, carried out by CAPES.

The agency of women in most African countries is often affected by the socio-economic and political policies that are almost always disadvantageous to women, especially women who have little to no knowledge of their rights. Using the shea industry in Ghana as a case study, I chronicle the challenges as recounted by rural women involved in this home-based work in the Northern Region of Ghana and critically analyse these challenges and their implications. Focusing mainly on the results of my recent field work, I present some of the accounts relating to the lack and exclusion of recognition of and respect for the experiences of rural women who are in fact the linchpin of the shea industry in Ghana. Initiatives and strategies of non-governmental organisations and some governmental policies have attempted to address these challenges that have implications for the livelihoods of rural women. Research and policies have only offered “band-aid solutions” to the economic disempowerment of rural women in the shea industry in Ghana as they have not dealt with the causes. This article seeks to refute the claim that equity exists by indicating the lack of equity and justice in the policies in the shea industry. In an attempt to provide an understanding of the economic disempowerment of women in this industry, I consider my field work as a good source as it exposes the experiences and everyday practices as narrated by rural women in the industry. This article seeks to analyse the existing discourses especially those pertaining to the contributions and experiences of rural women in the shea industry.

Qualitative Work

It is not clear what an Egyptian god was, what was believed about them, or how people responded to them. This qualitative work induces the nature of gods from the fourth and third millennia B.C.E. culture with the intention of stating what Egyptians believed. Framed in a philosophical design, it explores three features. First, using language, archaeology, and iconography the essentials of the god identity are outlined for original qualification. Second, god existence is argued using classical proofs. Third, god character is examined to reveal the specific psychological archetype that dictated their behaviour in myth. Then, delineated by the essential qualities of all three features, the nature of the gods is consolidated and filtered through an Old Kingdom value structure to reveal their conception—habitual ideal individual behaviour. The ancient Egyptians had a monistic idea for god that was internalised by every individual thus creating a system of internal equality despite the external inequality.
