MOBILIDADE ACADÊMICA EM PERSPECTIVA: EXPERIÊNCIAS DA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE OURO PRETO

A educação superior brasileira vem assistindo nos últimos anos, uma expansão significativa da mobilidade acadêmica nacional e/ou internacional, com destaque para o intercâmbio de estudantes. Este é o objeto de reflexão do artigo, que se inicia com uma discussão sobre a ruptura com os currículos mínimos e o advento das diretrizes curriculares nacionais, cuja principal característica é a flexibilidade curricular. Para os autores, a mobilidade acadêmica deve ser considerada neste contexto. Assim, apresenta-se a experiência de uma universidade federal, que através de três programas específicos, vem promovendo o intercâmbio estudantil com instituições brasileiras e do exterior. Constata-se, porém, que esta mobilidade, como experiência incipiente, necessita ações institucionais, visando a sua assimilação nos projetos político-pedagógicos dos cursos, na perspectiva das diretrizes curriculares

PESQUISA DE DESENVOLVIMENTO DE DISCIPLINAS DA GRADUAÇÃO: SUBSÍDIOS PARA A REFLEXÃO SOBRE A CONDUÇÃO PEDAGÓGICA DOS CURSOS DE GRADUAÇÃO DA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE OURO PRETO

A preocupação com a avaliação da e na universidade é antiga, remonta à sua origem como instituição. Avalia-se a universidade tanto em atendimento ao compromisso de prestação de contas à sociedade quanto visando ao monitoramento de suas ações para eventuais correções de rumos. A década de 1990 marca um período de muitos questionamentos quanto à eficiência e à eficácia das universidades públicas brasileiras, reflexo do ideário neoliberal, segundo o qual se aplicava um volume expressivo de recursos nesse nível de escolarização. Foi nesta conjuntura, que em 1995, a Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (Ufop) implementou o Sistema de Avaliação das Disciplinas da Graduação, no âmbito do Programa de Avaliação Institucional, agregado ao Programa de Avaliação Institucional das Universidades Brasileiras (Paiub). A Pesquisa de Desenvolvimento de Disciplinas da Graduação da Ufop foi criada no ano de 2011, como resultado da reformulação do sistema de avaliação das disciplinas, tendo como foco o levantamento de dados relevantes sobre a condução pedagógica dos cursos de graduação oferecidos na instituição. Este trabalho apresenta a Pesquisa de Desenvolvimento de Disciplinas da Graduação: sua concepção, propósitos, metodologia e os encaminhamentos de seus resultados

Health-related quality of life in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus in the different geographical regions of Brazil : data from the Brazilian Type 1 Diabetes Study Group

Background: In type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) management, enhancing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is as important as good metabolic control and prevention of secondary complications. This study aims to evaluate possible regional differences in HRQoL, demographic features and clinical characteristics of patients with T1DM in Brazil, a country of continental proportions, as well as investigate which variables could influence the HRQoL of these individuals and contribute to these regional disparities. Methods: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study performed by the Brazilian Type 1 Diabetes Study Group (BrazDiab1SG), by analyzing EuroQol scores from 3005 participants with T1DM, in 28 public clinics, among all geographical regions of Brazil. Data on demography, economic status, chronic complications, glycemic control and lipid profile were also collected. Results: We have found that the North-Northeast region presents a higher index in the assessment of the overall health status (EQ-VAS) compared to the Southeast (74.6 ± 30 and 70.4 ± 19, respectively; p < 0.05). In addition, North- Northeast presented a lower frequency of self-reported anxiety-depression compared to all regions of the country (North-Northeast: 1.53 ± 0.6; Southeast: 1.65 ± 0.7; South: 1.72 ± 0.7; Midwest: 1.67 ± 0.7; p < 0.05). These findings could not be entirely explained by the HbA1c levels or the other variables examined. Conclusions: Our study points to the existence of additional factors not yet evaluated that could be determinant in the HRQoL of people with T1DM and contribute to these regional disparities

The heteroidentification in the UFOP : the social control impelling the improvement of the public policy.

O artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre a experi?ncia da Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto com a heteroidentifica??o ?tnico-racial nos processos de recrutamento de candidatos para os cursos de gradua??o, bem como na apura??o de den?ncias de supostas fraudes na ocupa??o de vagas reservadas para negros, pela chamada ?Lei de Cotas? (Lei n? 12.711/2012). Apresenta breve hist?rico da Universidade, abordando as discuss?es institucionais para a cria??o de pol?ticas de a??o afirmativa pr?prias, a partir de 2008. Analisa criticamente o processo de implementa??o da Lei e problematiza o uso da heteroidentifica??o como mecanismo complementar ? autodeclara??o firmada pelo candidato. Conclui que a ado??o de tal medida tem car?ter pedag?gico e representa uma importante estrat?gia de controle da execu??o da pol?tica de cotas para negros, afastando das vagas reservadas, aqueles que a ela n?o fazem jus.The article aims to reflect on the experience of the Federal University of Ouro Preto with ethnic-racial heterogeneity in the processes of recruiting candidates for undergraduate courses, as well as in the investigation of allegations of alleged fraud in the occupation of places reserved for blacks, by the so-called "Quota Law" (Law No. 12.711/2012). It presents a brief history of the University, addressing the institutional discussions for the creation of affirmative action policies of its own, starting in 2008. Critically analyzes the process of implementation of the Law and problematizes the use of heteroidentification as a complementary mechanism to the self-declaration signed by the candidate. It concludes that the adoption of such a measure has a pedagogical character and represents an important strategy to control the implementation of quota policy for blacks, moving away from reserved places, those who are not entitled to it
