Evaluation of public policies in Portuguese regional development context – a preliminary methodological approach supported in north region
The evaluation of territorial programs and plans has been gaining importance, both in political-institutional speeches and practices and in academic reflections. In Portugal, the structure of planning, operacionalized on a vast number of quite recent instruments, requires an effort of articulation in the guidelines to various scales (from European until the municipal) and of the various fields (some sectoral, others, of more transversal nature). The development of monitoring systems, as well as the generalisation of the evaluation procedures, answer to the need of articulation between policies and support the strategic nature that is planning today. As a part of the Research Project SPOTIA - Sustainable Spatial Policy Orientations and Territorial Impact Assessment - Contribution to Portuguese context' (Centre of Geographical Studies – University of Lisbon to the Ministry of Science and Technologies), this paper aims to present an example of the first outputs of this research on the analysis of coherence between three different instruments planning, such as the National Policy Planning (PNPOT), a guiding document of national level, the Regional Spatial Plan to Northern Territory (PROT-Norte), the regional guidance document, and the Regional Operational Programme (PO-Norte), the regional program associated to a financing plan and program implementation. The analysis of coherence between these documents is not only between their general, strategic and specific objectives, but also by the indicator system assessment of each document. With this analysis we can reach the domains that are constantly, or not, present in these documents. In this context, a first essay of a methodological approach on evaluation of public policies in Portuguese context will be presented.

O silenciamento do multiculturalismo na pauta das Universidades Federais do sudeste e nordeste brasileiro: tendências na formação do bibliotecário e cientista da informação
This article investigates the graduation system of librarians and information science scientists, at federal universities of the southeast and northeast regions of Brazil. More precisely, our research aims to discuss the extent to which the courses on Library Science and Information Science encompass Multiculturalism in the field of university teaching, research and extension. We take account of the theoretical framework of Multiculturalism and Intercultural Education, leading an investigation of qualitative and quantitative nature. The evidence indicates that the discussions on Multiculturalism still occurs in an incipient way in four of the six universities of the southeast. More than that, the debate is absent at two universities in this region. On the other hand, in the Northeast region it is incipient in four of the eight universities surveyed, being absent in the others. Our work may contribute to stimulate reflections on the role of the university in the informational demands of

On the complementarity of classical test theory and item response models: item difficulty estimates and computerized adaptive testing
This study aims to provide statistical evidence of the complementarity between classical test theory and item response models for certain educational assessment purposes. Such complementarity might support, at a reduced cost, future development of innovative procedures for item calibration in adaptive testing. Classical test theory and the generalized partial credit model are applied to tests comprising multiple choice, short answer, completion, and open response items scored partially. Datasets are derived from the tests administered to the Portuguese population of students enrolled in the 4th and 6th grades. The results show a very strong association between the estimates of difficulty obtained from classical test theory and item response models, corroborating the statistical theory of mental testing.JRC.DDG.01-Econometrics and applied statistic

PROGRAMA BOLSA FAMÍLIA E VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA AS MULHERES: a efetividade das politicas públicas em Balneário Camboriú
TCC(especialização) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Filosofia de Ciências Humanas. Gênero e Diversidade na Escola.Esta pesquisa objetivou analisar a capacidade de um Programa de Transferência Condicionada de Renda (PTCR), o Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) brasileiro, na promoção da autonomia e “empoderamento” das mulheres beneficiárias que vivenciam situações de violência de gênero no município de Balneário Camboriú – SC. Teve como objetivo também, com base nos seus resultados, propor à Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Balneário Camboriú, a constituição de uma comissão de estudo da temática violência doméstica e familiar, para o desenvolvimento de ações e materiais pedagógicos a serem utilizados nas escolas e núcleos de educação infantil do município. A pesquisa utilizou metodologia qualitativa, através de entrevistas e análise documental. Foram entrevistadas coordenadoras e trabalhadoras do PBF e do Centro de Referência Especializado de Assistência Social (CREAS), programa que desenvolve serviços de apoio as mulheres vítimas de violência de gênero no referido município. Como o PBF garante uma segurança de renda mensal às famílias em situação de pobreza e extrema pobreza, benefício cuja titularidade em geral é concedida às mulheres, a pesquisa pretendeu relacionar o acesso ao benefício à capacidade das titulares do PBF em lidar com situações de violência doméstica e familiar que porventura vivenciassem. Foram analisados os prontuários do CREAS referentes a mulheres em situação de violência no município, para entender se o acesso seguro a uma renda mensal favoreceu sua autonomia para lidar com situações de violência e se a condição de titular do PBF contribuiu para proporcionar às mulheres beneficiárias que vivenciaram violência doméstica, condições de maior autonomia para enfrentar essa situação. Os resultados obtidos não permitiram estabelecer esta relação, em função da dificuldade de acesso a dados seguros sobre os casos de violência doméstica e familiar em organizações voltadas para esta questão, bem como pela falta de articulação entre as várias instituições responsáveis pelo combate à violência contra mulheres em Balneário Camboriú, conforme relatos das entrevistadas. Como resultado desse estudo de caso com aprofundamento das reflexões sobre o tema, a pesquisadora elaborou sua proposta de desenvolvimento de estratégias, por grupo de trabalho da Secretaria Municipal de Educação, para tratar sobre o tema da violência nas escolas locais.This research had as aim to analyze the capacity of a Conditional Income Transfer Program (PTCR in Portuguese acronym), the Brazilian Programa Bolsa Família (PBF, to promote autonomy and women “empowerment” for those who are benefited by the program and live in situations of violence of gender in Balneário Camboriú, a town in Santa Catarina.
