Higher Education Legislation

Politicians have displayed a keen interest in the build-up of regulations and bureaucracies for quite some time now. A case in point is the Netherlands. The second Balkenende cabinet, though, vowed to downsize the number of rules as one of its main policy initiatives. Evaluating the success of such a policy requires the measurement of changes in rule volumes. Doing so is no easy task. Using higher education legislation as a case study, this article attempts to chart and explain developments in regulation volumes for the period 1986—2004. For the time being, there appears to be no evidence that rule levels are on the decline — in fact, the reverse is the case. We also provide evidence for a so-called ecology of law, suggesting that the rules-breed-rules mechanism is difficult to put to a halt.

Resumo: O artigo objetivou analisar as implicações da Lei nº 775, de 6 de agosto de 1949 no ensino e na prática da enfermagem cearense. Optou-se pela História Cultural como referencial teórico-metodológico. Quatro professoras Enfermeiras da EESVP participaram do estudo. A coleta de informações foi de novembro de 2015 a janeiro de 2017. O artigo sustenta que a situação embrionária da formação e prática da enfermeira cearense, no período de 1949-1961, instala uma crise na profissão, na medida em que dois ocupacionais passam a ter o mesmo objeto de trabalho, no caso o cuidado. Assim, há o reconhecimento de uma só imagem e identificação de uma só profissão, especialmente pelo paciente. A projeção de uma única imagem implica diretamente na identidade da Enfermeira, assim como em seus espaços de prática e poder. Logo, constata-se a necessidade de conhecer a história da profissão para entender aonde se chegou ou aonde se chegará.Palavras-chave: Enfermeiras e Enfermeiros; Educação Superior; Legislação; Auxiliar de Enfermagem. The teaching and practice of nursing cearense: implications of the law 775 of 1949Abstract: The article aimed to analyze the implications of Law No. 775, of August 6, 1949 in the Teaching and practice of Cearense Nursing. Cultural history was chosen as a theoretical-methodological framework. Four EESVP nurse teachers participated in the study. The period of information collection was from November 2015 to January 2017. The article maintains that the embryonic situation of the education and practice of the nurse in Ceará, in the period of 1949-1961, installs a crisis in the profession, in that two occupational conditions start to have the same object of work, in the case of care. Thus, there is the recognition of a single image and identification of a single profession, especially by the patient. The projection of a single image implies directly in the identity of the nurse, as well as in their spaces of practice and power. Thus, we see the need to know the history of the profession to understand where it has arrived or where it will arrive.Keywords: Nurses and nurses; Higher education; Legislation; Nursing Assistant.

Background: Student leadership is central to the South African transformation agenda in higher education. Even so the understanding of student leadership, especially regarding its purpose and its implementation varies across contexts.Aim: This article aims to present propositions for student leadership practice considering the current diverse and often fragmented understanding of student leadership. Such propositions should aid the formation of a streamlined multi-levelled and systemic co-curriculum for student leadership that equips student leaders for their significant transformation task.Setting: The study was conducted in a South African higher education institution within the associated Student Affairs department. The university where data was collected is referred to as a historically White university.Methods: Social dream drawing was utilised to elicit data that enabled insights into student leadership. The data was analysed by pluralistically fusing discourse analysis with a psychodynamic interpretation.Results: The findings reveal a preoccupation in student leadership with South African historical narratives and the implications thereof for the present, and future, of the country. Additionally, student leaders indicated that there are complex psychological implications that result from their leadership experiences. Six propositions for student leadership are presented.Conclusion: The insights gained from the research study have the potential to contribute positively to higher education legislation and student development practice, particularly regarding the psychological conflicts that student leaders experience, and to the possible ways to resolve these. Because student leaders are key to the transformation agenda in South Africa, these insights can contribute directly towards their suitability in fulfilling this role.

The implementation of the extension in the engineering course complies with the Brazilian government's directive for the implementation of extension in the Brazilian undergraduate courses. The objective of this article is to describe the implementation of extension activities in the area of technology and production in a module of professional discipline of an engineering course in a Brazilian federal university in the form of workshops in the field of technology and production. We did a participatory action research in which it was tried to meet the new requirements of Higher Education legislation in relation to the 10% extension that should be included in the higher courses. We did this research on a degree in engineering course. The results were auspicious, enabling compliance with the legal requirements and the satisfaction of the local academic community.

Higher Education Legislation

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is based on the principle that valuable learning, worthy of recognition, takes place outside formal education. In the context of higher education, legislation provides an enabling framework for the implementation of RPL. However, RPL will only gain its rightful position if it can ensure the RPL candidates’ success. Hence, the purpose of this study is to describe the significance of the learner profile of candidates. In this study, empirical research was conducted, which entailed the analysis of RPL candidates’ life stories as narratives. The findings illuminated specific characteristics of RPL candidates in terms of personal attributes, learning contexts, knowledge, and skills gained through a process of personal development. The conclusion is that this calls for an RPL approach that explicitly considers the significance of the profile at learner, practitioner, and institutional level.
