Higher education is responsible for educating and serving society, and guidance is among the competencies of a higher education institution. Facing the obligation to accomplish this proposal, the students come across a reality - such as the need to read and write - to which they often have not been stimulated in previous stages of their formal education. The activities inherent to scientific work enable reflexive situations on academic knowledge and their expansion at the research level. Due to such finding, in Term Paper (Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso in Portuguese/TCC) and Undergraduate Research (Iniciação Científica in Portuguese/IC) activities at the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT) Entomology Laboratory, as well as in interdisciplinary research with the Portuguese Language, the academics are invited to exercise the ability of authorship and criticality in front of reflections and what is produced. The academics learn to participate and value scientific events and to retextualize monograph for scientific article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper relates the debate of education to the model of the capitalist society, proposing an analysis of an experience in the field of public higher education. This point is triggering for entering the model of education and consequently in the field of inclusive education. We shall indicate some contradiction inherent in the conflicts and complexities that constitute these themes, delimiting the antagonism of what is advocated in the conception of inclusion in education with the stated intention of the capital to increasingly subordinate education to commodity. Moreover, we will extend the analysis onto the access barriers, as well as the development of measures that allow better accessibility conditions for students with disabilities in higher education.

The objective of this paper is to identify ways of improving higher education in entrepreneurship, focusing on Brazilian students who want to be self-employed or have their own business. In this article, they are named intentional founders. The study is a survey complemented by a short literature review. The online questionnaire was answered by 12,604 Brazilian students from 37 public and private higher-education institutions. According to their answers, they present a higher demand for entrepreneurship education and a higher entrepreneurial intention than students from other countries. Three hypotheses were tested. Results show that more or less entrepreneurship education (EE) has no effect on students' entrepreneurial intention and self-efficacy (self-perception of being well-prepared to do successful entrepreneurial activities). On the other hand, entrepreneurial intention has a significant and positive association with demand for EE. Taking advantage of students' high demand seems attractive to facilitate the necessary improvement of EE in Brazil. The discussions and conclusions at the end of the paper offer recommendations not only for the improvement of higher education, but also for conducting further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The following paper explores the role played by Professional Master Courses in Brazilian universities. These Courses can be considered as a new educational experience in the Brazilian academic field and they are presented here as holders of an innovative potential for the universities as a whole. Those new initiatives can renew the way the Brazilian academic field produces knowledge and also the manner that this knowledge interacts with the society as a whole. The paper analyzes this subject as a social conflict and reveals the way that market friendly practices in Brazilian universities are able to appropriate this novelty. The author argues that such market friendly practices must not be the only way to deal with Professional Master Courses and invites the reader to view them in terms of a social dispute for public education.

In order to obtain a more accurate comprehension of organizations' strategizing and of the relations formed by actors and governance networks, this article intended to contribute to the theories used-- Governance Networks, Strategy as a Social Practice, Strategic Outcomes and Actor-Network Theory -- by delineating how the articulation of strategizing, as a process of translation, with governance network theory configures the governance and strategic outcomes of Business programs in private Higher Education Institutions in Curitiba (Parana, Brazil). The chosen research method was a comparative case study, by which five cases were studied and twenty-nine in-depth semi-structured interviews were held, besides non-participant observations and document analysis. Data analysis was developed through (a) Narrative Analysis and (b) Qualitative Comparative Analysis (Análise Qualitativa Comparativa [QCA]). The results showed that the strategizing process and the intertwining between human and nonhuman actors are essential to the comprehension of governance and strategic outcomes of the studied institutions. It is believed that the theoretical articulation undertaken in this paper and the empirical research findings form a consistent body of knowledge and elucidate current and relevant questions to understand nuances related to governance networks, strategy as practice, strategizing (and its outcomes) and sociomaterial issues (human and nonhuman actors).

The undergraduate degree in Business Administration aims to give a comprehensive view on the functioning of businesses, preparing students to work in administrative or management tasks. The objective of this study is to see how the use of technology can help teaching the IT itself to Business Administration students and to verify the expected gains for their professional lives. IT is increasingly present in our private, social or professional life, and these students -- digital natives -- seem to have a natural ability in the use of digital technology. This paper discusses the importance of IT in the teaching-learning process, it examines some academic and technological risks arising from these practices and reports as a case study an experience by the author in the subject. It concludes that the use of technology can bring gains in knowledge, but the risks must be measured and minimized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
