No contexto de acirramento das forças do regime civil-militar e da intensificação das estratégias de controle da população, em 1969 é criada a disciplina Estudo de Problemas Brasileiros (EPB), como matéria obrigatória. Direcionada ao ensino superior, era um instrumento ideológico do projeto educacional dos militares para o enfrentamento do movimento estudantil e das supostas ameaças do comunismo. Neste sentido, o presente artigo almeja contribuir para as discussões acerca do projeto de socialização dos interesses do regime militar nas universidades brasileiras. Por meio de pesquisa documental, contextualiza a EPB na Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Minas Gerais, a partir de fontes oficiais, como os catálogos de disciplinas da instituição, as atas e os documentos das reuniões de conselhos colegiados superiores do período de vigência da disciplina (1969-1993). No que tange à pesquisa documental, pode-se inferir, com base na organização dos cursos de EPB e na sua vigência, a sua plena aderência na instituição. Outro aspecto que merece destaque foi a realização dos cursos de EPB mesclando alunos do Colégio Universitário (COLUNI) e dos cursos de graduação e pós-graduação, mesmo que essa prática não tivesse sido prescrita na lei, o que nos leva a concluir que houve empenho na transmissão da mensagem dos governos militares aos estudantes brasileiros, em detrimento de um esforço didático-pedagógico, a supor pelas diferenças entre os níveis de escolarização contemplados. ***In the context of the intensification of the forces of the civil-military regime and the intensification of population control strategies, in 1969 the discipline Study of Brazilian Problems (EPB) was created. Directed to higher education, it was an ideological instrument of the educational project of the military to confront the student movement and the supposed threats of communism. In this sense, the text aims to contribute to the discussions about the project to socialize the interests of the military regime in Brazilian universities, based on documentary research, contextualizing the EPB discipline at the Federal University of Viçosa (MG), through official sources, such as the catalogs of disciplines of the institution and of the minutes and documents of the meetings of higher collegiate councils of the period of validity of the discipline (1969/1993). With regard to the research in its locus, one can conclude, due to the organization of the BPS courses and their validity, the full adherence to the institution. Another point that deserves to be highlighted was the realization of the courses of EPB merging students of the University College and undergraduate and postgraduate courses, even such practice not being prescribed by law. What gives us the strength to think that there was not a didactic-pedagogical effort, to suppose by the differences between the levels of schooling, but rather the commitment in transmitting the message of the military governments to the Brazilian students.

O presente artigo faz uma análise do movimento estudantil paraense durante a Ditadura Militar de 1964-1985 e sua imprensa alternativa, importante canal de comunicação por onde circularam informações estratégicas de mobilizações e ações da categoria contrárias à nova ordem instituída. Destacam-se, neste trabalho, as atuações de dois jornais produzidos pelos estudantes da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPa): O Papagaio (1967) e Nanico (1979). Os universitários encontraram, nesta imprensa, uma forma de tornar públicas as perseguições sofridas dentro do campus do Guamá, envolvendo professores e estudantes considerados subversivos. Nas páginas dessa imprensa havia também a negação da concepção bancária de educação (FREIRE, 2011), que deformava a criatividade educacional.

The performance of two newspapers elaborated by the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) students are highlighted: O Papagaio (1967) and  Nanico (1979). The university students found, in this press, a way of making the persecutions suffered in the Guamá campus, involving students and professors considered subversive, known. In the pages of this press there was also the denial of the education bank conception (FREIRE, 2011) which deformed the educational creativity.

Internal Division

In 1986 the University of Ife (later renamed Obafemi Awolowo University) unveiled a wood statue of Oduduwa, the mythical founder of the Yoruba nation. Present at the occasion was Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the most famous Yoruba politician of the twentieth century. Either for political gain, or to celebrate or praise him, an Ife intellectual told Chief Awolowo that the statue looked exactly like him and that, in trying to represent the image of Oduduwa, the carver, the highly distinguished Chief Lamidi Fakeye, had simply used Awolowo as a model.Chief Awolowo was very happy with this comparison, and gladly affirmed it. The story spread like wildfire. As the statue came to be interpreted, Awolowo and Oduduwa had the same physical build, elegance, and cap which they wore in the same style! Here indeed was the modern Oduduwa. To those in search of heroes, the Yoruba now had two “national” ones—Oduduwa, the progenitor and Awolowo, the modernizer—and a host of other aspiring and local ones. If Oduduwa founded the nation, Awolowo would unite it, after a period of internal division.Both in Yoruba popular and intellectual discourse, the hero commands prominent attention. The Yoruba appear to be seeking the equivalent of a Mahdi, the reformer in Islam, a cultural, folk, and political hero. The ambition of many Yoruba elite, especially the politician, is to become a hero of the nation. Many have tried in vain—men such as Chief Adisa Akinloye, a longtime veteran politician, and the Chairman of the National Party of Nigeria during the Second Republic, and, until recently, Chief M.K.O. Abiola, the business magnate and politician who was denied the presidency of the country by the military regime in collaboration with powerful civilians.

The conditions are investigated in which Spanish university teachers carry out their teaching and research functions. 655 teachers from the University of Oviedo took part in this study by completing the Academic Setting Evaluation Questionnaire (ASEQ). Of the three dimensions assessed in the ASEQ, Satisfaction received the lowest ratings, Social Climate was rated higher, and Relations with students was rated the highest. These results are similar to those found in two studies carried out in the academic years 1986/87 and 1989/90. Their relevance for higher education is twofold because these data can be used as a complement of those obtained by means of students' opinions, and the crossing of both types of data can facilitate decision making in order to improve the quality of the work (teaching and research) of the university institutions.

For over two centuries, the College was the characteristic form of higher education in the United States, and the College was closely allied to the church in a predominantly Protestant land. The university became the characteristic form of American higher education starting in the late nineteenth Century, and universities long continued to reflect the nation's Protestant culture. By about 1900, however, Catholics and Jews began to enter universities in increasing numbers. What was the experience of Jewish students in these institutions, and how did authorities respond to their appearance? These questions will be addressed in this article by focusing on the Jewish presence at the University of Illinois in the early twentieth Century. Religion, like a red thread, is interwoven throughout the entire fabric of this story.

The Common European Framework of Reference for Language (CEFR) has become the standard used to describe and evaluate students’ command of a second or foreign language. It is an internationally acknowledged standard language proficiency framework which many countries have adopted such as China, Thailand, Japan and Taiwan. Malaysia Ministry of Education is aware and realise the need for the current English language curriculum to be validated as to reach the international standard as prescribed by the CEFR. The implementation of CEFR has begun at primary and secondary level since 2017 and now higher education institutions are urged to align their English Language Curriculum to CEFR as part of preparation in receiving students who have been taught using CEFR-aligned curriculum at schools by year 2022. This critical reflection article elucidates the meticulous processes that we have embarked on in re-aligning our English Language Curriculum to the standard and requirements of CEFR. The paper concludes with a remark that the alignment of the English curriculum at the university needs full support from the management in ensuring that all the stakeholders are fully prepared, informed and familiar with the framework.

In this article, the author explores the concept of terquedad or waywardness as a blueprint towards gender/queer justice in education. Using María Lugones’s (2003) theorizing resistance against multiple oppressions, the author presents Gloria Anzaldúa’s' writings in Borderlands/La Frontera (1987) and This Bridge Called My Back (1981/2015) as a project of storying the plurality of terquedad. In doing so, the author calls for a theory and praxis of terquedad as a framework to understand the embodied resistances queer and trans-Latinx/e students deploy as textual inconveniences to push back and resist the “institutional grammars” of U.S. universities (Crawford & Ostrom, 1995; Bonilla-Silva, 2012). Through a plática methodology (Fierros & Delgado Bernal, 2016), the author introduces Quiahuitl, a doctoral student engaging with a praxis of terquedad when confronted with institutional and sexual violence as she moves within and against the geographies and power structures of the university.

HIV/AIDS Knowledge and Risk-Taking Behaviours among Youths at a University in Enugu, Nigeria

Hiv Aids

 A national sentinel survey of 2006 shows that Enugu State in south-eastern Nigeria is the worst hit by HIV infections. Despite numerous control strategies having been implemented, the state was still reported by another national HIV sentinel survey in 2010 as the worst hit by HIV/AIDS within the zone, and that youths are the most affected. The researchers conducted a cross-sectional descriptive survey to assess the HIV/AIDS knowledge and risk-taking behaviours of youths at a federal university in Enugu, south-eastern Nigeria. They adopted a multistage sampling method to recruit 460 unmarried, consenting students between 15 and 30 years of age, from three faculties of the university. Almost 90 per cent of the university youths had a sound knowledge of key concepts related to HIV/AIDS; despite this, a subset (7.39%) still engaged in risk-taking behaviours. The major risky behaviours identified include having premarital sex, having multiple sexual partners, the sharing of shaving or razor blades, the use of public clippers and tribal marking. Although an analysis of variance demonstrated no significant relationship (t = −0.036) between university youths’ knowledge of HIV/AIDS and their related risk-taking behaviour, risky behaviours were found to be more (13%) among respondents who had insufficient or incorrect knowledge of the disease. An analysis of covariance, however, showed that gender and socio-economic backgrounds were not determinants of the HIV/AIDS risk-taking behaviours of these youths. Therefore, factors such as attitude or culture are areas that should be focused on, and should then, along with educational awareness campaigns, help to reduce the spread and prevalence of the disease.
