Full textInternationalising an academic curriculum is a comprehensive process directed towards the overall improvement of curricula quality through the addition of intercultural and international dimensions. Internationalisation of the curriculum is recognised as a highly contextualised process which is received and interpreted in many different ways across academic disciplines and regional settings. Previous research also reports that it is a process where academic staff play a critical role and their continuous engagement with it is necessary. Many challenges in recruiting staff to engage in internationalisation of the curriculum have been raised. Internationalisation of higher education has become a strategic priority of policy makers and institutional leadership in Israel in the past few years. Resources are directed towards the development of institutional strategies for internationalisation, with the goal of increasing student and staff mobility and raising the quality of teaching and research. Internationalisation of the curriculum is seen as an integral part of this trend. Although there is research on the process of internationalisation in higher education in Israel, little research exists on the process of internationalisation of the curriculum in this space. The objective of this study is to explore the process of internationalisation of the curriculum in one Israeli college across three academic departments and record the engagement of academic staff in it focusing on responses, motivations, interpretations and enactment. The study uses Leask’s (2015) conceptual framework for internationalisation of the curriculum as a theoretical lens, where the process of internationalisation of the curriculum is positioned within a super complex environment and impacted by multiple layers of context. The research assumes a participatory action research approach with a qualitative research design, constructed around three case studies. The case studies are triangulated using three data channels: in-depth interviews, analysis of syllabi documents and insider, informal channels. A total of 17 participants from three academic departments were interviewed and interview transcripts were subjected to thematic analysis. In addition, 15 syllabi documents were subjected to document analysis, using the Internationalisation of the Curriculum Indicators tool which was developed as part of this study. The results of the research demonstrate the role of internationalisation of the curriculum as a catalyst for curriculum design for academic individuals and teams in one higher education institution in Israel. It shows that academics are motivated to embark on the process even in a case when there is no obvious need such as the presence of international students on campus. In addition, it shows contextualised modes of engagement with internationalisation of the curriculum across the disciplines, supporting and extending previous research in this area. Specifically, the study offers important insights into the process of internationalisation of the curriculum and suggests enhancements to Leask's (2015) framework and makes several practical recommendations which are relevant for the unique space of Israeli higher education and possibly beyond.

Full textThis study seeks to understand how new academics learn to judge student performance in complex assessment tasks, i.e. tasks that allow students substantial initiative and latitude in their response. It was conducted at a research intensive historically white university in South Africa and involved case studies in three academic departments. Thirty one academics were interviewed across the three departments. The analysis of these cases was conducted in two parts, using a framework developed from Bourdieu's theory of practice and Lave and Wenger's situated learning theory. In the first part, I analysed the academic workplace in each case and identified three different configurations of communities of practice that formed key dimensions of the fields within which these departments were situated. In the second part, I applied the concepts of habitus and legitimate peripheral participation (LPP) to understand how new academics engaged with the communities of practice in their departments and learnt how to judge student performance of complex assessment tasks. The study revealed limitations in the explanatory power of social learning theory in contexts where the stability of communities of practice was uncertain, where there were no opportunities for LPP and where knowledge was deemed to reside in the individual rather than to be distributed in the community. In contrast to the view that learning in the workplace is informal and unstructured, in each of the case studies it was possible to identify a learning to judge trajectory, which, in some cases more than others, provided a structured "learning curriculum" (Wenger, 1998) for new academic staff. Learning to judge student performance happened through participation in a series of assessment practices along this trajectory. The experience of following a learning to judge trajectory was closely associated with the identity trajectory of each individual academic and depended on three factors: the particular configuration of communities of practice within each field, the capital valued within this configuration, and the nature of the capital that the newcomer brings into the department. However, the existence of these trajectories did not mean that learning was unproblematic, as they appeared to support the dominant relationships of power within each field and posed particular challenges for those individuals who embarked on alternative trajectories.

Full textDrawing on Pierre Bourdieu's theory of field and capital, this thesis examines the disciplinary differences in the social sciences concerning the possession of scientific capital and levels of engagement with academic and non-academic constituencies in three African universities, Eduardo Mondlane University in Mozambique, Makerere University in Uganda and the University of the Western Cape in South Africa. Contrary to approaches that regard disciplinary fields as homogeneous epistemic and social spaces on the grounds of the principles of the stratification of scientific fields, this study investigates the relationship between the hierarchical position of selected discipline-clusters and the levels of engagement with both internal and external constituencies. The study reveals that levels of possession of scientific capital have a significant effect on the differentiation of the disciplinary fields, both within and across institutions, and on the levels of engagement with (internal) academic and (external) non-academic entities. The analysis shows that scientific capital does not determine the level and forms of engagement with different constituencies. However, the differences across discipline-clusters at institutional level reflect the engagement with academic rather than with non-academic constituencies. In other words, this means that the level of engagement varies more between different disciplines when the engagement is related to academic entities than is the case when non-academic entities are concerned. Therefore, engagement is not a major discriminator amongst institutions. Scientific capital is what gives academics prestige and symbolic capital to the institution. The significance of this is that academics from different discipline-clusters might have different experiences of engagement with different constituencies. I further conclude that the growing importance that the notion of engagement has for the university is, perhaps, too simple if it does not account for the complex and multifaceted characteristics of disciplinary and institutional fields.

Full textIs there such a thing as unadulterated nature? All that surrounds us is culturally modified by man somewhere along our past. But culture is only a fictitious conception itself, created in an attempt to break the world into controllable objects.
So in what do we find culture? In everything? In the objects or the stories they embrace? Who chooses what’s worth saving and how to save? Choosing what is culture is made from personal, ingrained dichotomies of what’s important and what is not. A selective eye creates a distorted truth, which could have unintentional long-term effects.
This thesis will give a historical account of the archaeological discipline’s development in tending to our cultural heritage. By demonstrating its many complications, with examples of forest remains, I will argue for the need of innovation, communication and documentation. Only then can we get a broader, more varied and slightly less modified picture of the culture we choose to keep.

Full textIn recent years, there is growing concern with on the teaching of engineering in Brazil and world. One of the problems of the courses is the disciplines of the Basic Cycle, which are very theoretical and out of the context of the future engineers. The objective of this work is to establish and characterize correlations between basic disciplines of the Electrical Engineering course, at the Polytechnic School of University of São Paulo, with reference to the Curricular Structure from 2000 to 2010. For this study, a literature review was made, approaching historical facts in engineering education, in Europe and Brazil, as well as a survey and study of the teaching program, templates and tests of the disciplines chosen for this research. Content and/or skills that characterize the correlations were identified, verifying their importance for the development of the disciplines. Among the results of this study, we propose an Integrator Project as an alternative to improve the academic performance of students considered to be high-risk, as way of allow the understanding of correlations between disciplines, promoting the interdisciplinarity and the articulation of knowledge in each academic semester worked. Among the conclusions, stands out the importance of the teachers of Basic Cycle and Vocational Cycle opening a wide debate, to establishing important connections between the course materials, as way of make it possible to soften the problems of the Basic Cycle of engineering courses.

Full textThe purpose of this text is to contribute to theunderstanding of a specific academic discipline (in Swedishcalled Ekonomistyrning). Another purpose is to contribute to arenewal of this field. Theoretical bases are theories from thesociological field like new institutional theory and theoriesof social constructions. The text consists of two parts. Thefirst part is about the academic discipline and the second isabout newer practices and a renewal of the discipline. In thefirst part twelve prominent academics give their views ofdifferent aspects of the discipline. The images are groupedtogether in different categories and also discussed from aninstitutional theory point of view. The second part puts focuson the pragmatic orientation in theory and on two kinds ofnewer production in practice. Two companies that producetelevision programmes and four biotech-companies are described.Interpretations are made regarding the nature of theirmanagement and control activities. Contributions from the firstpart are that (1) there are two aspects of the discipline. Thefield has first of all a strong pragmatic orientation but alsosmall and growing academic influence. The limit (2) for what isconsidered ekonomistyrning are wider and not so obvious asbefore. Traditional parts of the discipline (3) like budgetinghave been questioned and reconsidered. Consultants (4) havecreated room for new concepts like JIT, BPR, TQM, BSC and SCMinside the discipline. Contributions from the second part arethat (1) individuals are self managed and guided by theirknowledge and that these companies use (2) a "new" kind ofmanagement systems like e.g. milestones. These kinds of newpractices give vital contributions to the discussion about arenewal of the discipline. Arguments are given (3) forregarding management and control as human activities ratherthan technical questions. This calls for an extended use of newmodels, of a different language and of new images based onsocial sciences.

Full textBased on a double survey, both quantitative (questionnaires) and qualitative (interviews, observations), this thesis focuses on life-styles and connection to the culture of academics, as well as on their profession, their vocation to become academics and their choice of research topics. University is a legitimate instance of cultural legitimization, endowed with a dual and contradictory mission of preserving and updating knowledge and cultural norms. Studying life-styles and profession of academics is then to study the fabrication and possible transformation of these cultural legitimacy norms. The first part of the project therefore focuses on the study of the lifestyles and cultural relationships of academics, from the perspective of differences within the group. This first part relies in particular on the performance of a multiple correspondence analysis, which permit to identify three major lifestyles. These life-styles are then related to academic variables (such as discipline), to account for the struggles about the type of culture that University must transmit. The second part focuses more particularly on academic vocations, the choice of engagement in an academic career and research objects, as well as the relationship to teaching and the transmission of academics. This second part provides a link between non-university practices and academic work, capturing elements of the dynamics of the academic field and the constant renewal of scholarly culture. Ascetic aristocratism and the consumption of classical and heritage cultural works continue to appear dominant in the university field. But new life-styles, closer to a form of hedonism, made of a more distant relationship to the classical humanities and carried by new disciplines, compete with the classical disciplines and their culture, thus working to redefine the bounds of legitimate culture

In the wake of 9/11, the enterprise now called homeland security rocketed into the limelight leaving an educational gap that many academic institutions rushed in to fill. Educators and scholars alike from various disciplines rallied together to form a useful curriculum, and in doing so, they established a new community that shares a common intellectual commitment to making insightful, valuable, and practical contributions to the sphere of human knowledge focused on societal resilience and prosperity. Once the dust settled, a debate began to unfold. Is homeland security an emerging academic discipline This paper seeks to answer the question by defining a common analytical framework for what constitutes an academic discipline including the concept of legitimacy and the interrelationships or co-evolution between academia, industry, and government. It then compares through qualitative research and weighted scoring several widely accepted disciplines to see how they fit within this model. Finally, given the persistent threat of natural and manmade disasters, steady funding and continuous career prospects, ongoing rapid advances in technology, and systematic widespread integration into university curricula, this research concludes that homeland security has begun its emergence as a formal academic discipline especially given the interdisciplinary nature of its dynamic and complex domain.

Full textThis longitudinal research concerns the emergence of pupils learning attitudes in school disciplines (French and sciences) at the beginning of primary school education. It lays on the Vygotski’s Theory of human development and on the dialogic, enunciative and pragmatic approach of language which consider that pupils should be part of different disciplinary contexts (with specific purposes, values and practicies) and adjust their utterance status to be relevant in relation to the knowledge involved in classroom situations. It is based on didactic concepts as learning enunciation attitudes and school discourse communities specialized in academic fields. It focuses on the description of how young people learn to adapt to different communities like school discourse community for french or science subject, and how they can possibly change their initial enunciation attitude in each discipline to differentiate them. For a social and discursive space of mutual linguistic understandin happens to develop between teacher, pupils, cultural objects, practicies, values, uses of language, hnowledge wording etc. It may have a retroactive effect on learning enunciation attitudes and empower them. The purpose is to identify how pupils adjust their utterance status, that would mean they can sucessfully adapt the way to do, think and speak when they enter the field from another discipline. It would also mean that they manage to change and adapt their enunciation learning attitude, which is necessary for accessing knowledge. It is a three years study that seeks to highlight the construction process of learning attitudes in scientific and french disciplines and its progression for pupils between 5 and 7 years old. It aims to show the incidence of learning attitudes and their emergence, stiffening or évolution on learning difficulties. Corpus analysis is based on transcriptions of recorded interviews and learning sessions concerning 11 pupils and their three teachers during three years so as to reveal pupils activity as well as teachers and pupils joint action in standard teaching practicies throughout french class and science class. Data has been collected then analyzed to determine the relationship between the setting of school discourse communities specialized in academic fields and the emergence of learning enunciation attitudes

This thesis examines the ways in which the histories of the Military School of Realengo (EMR), the Military Police Academy of Barro Branco (APMBB) and the Officers’ Training School (EFO) of the Military Police of the Federal District (PMDF) are interwoven. The main objective was to uncover the process of the creation and consolidation of a particular military school model present throughout the country: Military Police Academies (APMs). The research sought to prove the hypothesis that the APM prototype would have resulted from a mixture of the curriculum of the professional course of the PMDF, created in 1920, and the traditions invented by the José Pessoa reform in the EMR, between 1931 and 1934, and also that the first school which underwent this transformation was the APMBB, between 1935 and 1938. From there, the model would have been disseminated to all Brazilian Military Police (PMs), including the PMDF itself. The research advances studies in the history of school institutions and educational intellectuals, with an emphasis on the processes of the invention of traditions, the reformulation of curricula, and the history of school subjects. Starting from a criticism of the theoretical-methodological reference of Althusserian structuralism, the work references ideas such as Thompson's notion of experience, Hobsbawm’s invention of tradition, and the meaning of the term intellectual as attributed by Sirinelli. This reference was supplemented by notions from Anthropology like Gilberto Velho's “field of possibilities” and Celso Castro's “military spirit”. Specific references from the history of education also provided support for the research, including notions of curriculum from Goodson, Forquin, Sacristan and Circe Bittencourt, as well as Cherval's ideas about the history of school subjects. As research involving the invention of traditions, the origins and the stabilization of these traditions were examined, which involved taking a historical cross-section covering the founding of the Military Division of the Royal Guard of Police in 1809 to the consolidation, in 1958, of the ceremony in which the cadets receive their swords in the EFO of the PMDF. For this purpose, an investigation of a variety of sources was necessary: personal archives, official documents, legislation, archives of materials, press, among others. It was possible to conclude that that the APMs were an invention of Brazilian army officers who adapted the traditions idealized for the EMR between 1931 and 1934 and the curriculum of the PMDF’s professional course from 1920. They created a new type of military school that was established in São Paulo at the APMBB between 1935 and 1938, and then disseminated throughout the country. The purpose of this invention would be to facilitate the transformation of state military forces into MPs, the army’s reserve and auxiliary force. However, such a standard was not imposed on state military forces, it was desired; and the companies not only assimilated but improved this new type of military school. As a result, state military forces became PMs, the army's reserve force, in order to survive the imminent threat of extinction after the Revolution of 1930 and the end of the governors' policies
A presente tese estuda as imbricações entre as histórias da Escola Militar do Realengo (EMR), da Academia de Polícia Militar do Barro Branco (APMBB) e da Escola de Formação de Oficiais (EsFO) da Polícia Militar do Distrito Federal (PMDF). O principal objetivo foi desvendar o processo de gênese e consolidação de um modelo específico de escola militar presente em todo o país: as Academias de Polícia Militar (APMs). Buscou-se comprovar a hipótese de que o protótipo de APM seria resultante de um amálgama entre os currículos do curso profissional da PMDF, criado em 1920, e as tradições inventadas pela reforma José Pessoa na EMR, entre 1931 e 1934, e que a primeira escola que sofreu essa transformação foi a APMBB, entre 1935 e 1938. A partir dela, o modelo teria sido disseminado para todas as Polícias Militares (PMs) do Brasil, incluindo a própria PMDF. A pesquisa avança nos estudos da história das instituições escolares e dos intelectuais da educação, com ênfase nos processos de invenção das tradições, reformulação de currículo e na história das disciplinas escolares. A partir da crítica ao referencial teórico e metodológico do estruturalismo althusseriano, foram utilizados referenciais como a noção de experiência de Thompson, o processo de invenção das tradições de Hobsbawm e a acepção de intelectual de Sirinelli. Esse referencial foi complementado por noções da Antropologia, como o “campo de possibilidades” de Gilberto Velho e o “espírito militar” de Celso Castro. Deram suporte ainda referenciais específicos da história da educação, como as noções de currículo de Goodson, Forquin, Sacristán e Circe Bittencourt, e as ideias sobre história das disciplinas escolares de Chervel. Por tratar-se de uma pesquisa que envolve a invenção de tradições, foram examinadas as origens e a estabilização dessas mesmas tradições, o que implicou um recorte histórico que englobou desde a fundação da Divisão Militar da Guarda Real de Polícia, em 1809, até a consolidação da solenidade de entrega de espadins na EsFO da PMDF, em 1958. Para tal, foi necessária a investigação em diversos tipos de fontes, como arquivos pessoais, documentos oficiais, legislação, acervo material, imprensa, entre outros. Pudemos concluir que as APMs foram uma invenção de oficiais do Exército brasileiro que adaptaram as tradições idealizadas para a EMR, entre 1931 e 1934, e os currículos do curso profissional da PMDF de 1920. Com isso, criaram um novo tipo de escola militar que foi implementado em São Paulo, na APMBB, entre 1935 e 1938, depois disseminado para o país. O objetivo dessa invenção seria facilitar a transformação das forças militares estaduais em PMs, força reserva e auxiliar do Exército. Porém, tal padrão não foi imposto às forças militares estaduais, foi desejado, e as corporações não só assimilaram como aprimoraram esse novo tipo de escola militar. Com isso, as forças militares estaduais transformaram-se em PMs, força reserva do Exército, visando sobreviver à ameaça iminente de extinção após a Revolução de 1930 e o fim da política dos governadores
