Uma proposta de implementação do blended learning para a educação a distância em cursos superiores

Abstract: Apresenta-se neste artigo uma proposta de implementacao da ferramenta BMG Canvas ( Busineess Model Generation ), como meio de viabilidade para o blended learning - aprendizagem hibrida - aplicado a Educacao a distância (EaD), no curso de Administracao em uma Instituicao de Ensino Superior, sendo este o objeto de estudo. O trabalho esta organizado de forma a explanar EaD desde sua organizacao curricular e sua mutacao por meio das novas tecnologias, sendo seguida pela proposta do uso do blended learning operacionalizado atraves do flipped classroom . O artigo traz como metodos algumas releituras de possibilidades ferramentais tanto para o ensino a distância. Como resultado, este artigo apresenta como o uso do BMG Canvas pode oportunizar que os alunos saltem do conhecimento passivo para o ativo, ou seja, um aluno capaz de construir o conhecimento de forma interdisciplinar. Discute-se ainda, a construcao de um conhecimento efetivo atraves de processos de ensino e aprendizagem no sentido de apresenta-lo como sendo parte de uma comunidade de praticas.

ADHD Comorbid With Major Depression on Parents and Teachers Perceptions

Abstract: Objective: Examine the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) responses of parents and teachers for children with ADHD comorbid with major depressive disorder (MDD), with an emphasis on determining how well the respondent groups' responses correlate, and how well the results obtained perform as predictors of clinical diagnosis. Method: The SDQ was completed by parents and teachers of (n = 215 participants, 7-12 years old) in ADHD, MDD, ADHD + MDD, and healthy control groups. Agreement between parent and teacher SDQs and their concordance with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; DSM-IV) diagnoses were assessed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and Kappa concordance analyses were used to compare the groups with the health control group. Results: The comorbid group presented greater impairments than the ADHD, MDD, and control groups (p < .001). Conclusion: The presence of psychiatric comorbidity causes greater impairment for school children with ADHD. The SDQ has good sensitivity for detecting these children and correlates well with DSM diagnosis.

Store creativity, store potency, store performance, retailing

Abstract: Purpose The purpose of the paper is to test whether retail stores’ creativity predicts several indicators of performance through stores’ potency. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 45 stores (n = 317 employees) of a Brazilian retail chain was included, and a group/store level of analysis was adopted. Performance was measured through objective measures. To reduce the risks of common method variance, group creativity and group potency were measured with data from different store members. Findings The findings show that store creativity predicts indicators of store performance through store potency. Research limitations/implications The study was carried out within a single organization, and the stores’ sample is small. Other causalities are plausible, and future studies should adopt a longitudinal design to test reciprocal effects between the variables of the study. Practical implications Cultivating creativity (via the selection of creative individuals and nurturing contextual conditions that encourage creativity) may have at least indirect effects on store performance. Originality/value While the few empirical studies relating group creativity (still an under-researched topic) and performance have mostly used subjective performance measures, this study uses objective measures.

Organizações não capitalistas na América Latina: lições de uma comunidade brasileira de base rural, Sistemas Faxinais

Abstract: This essay reveals the foundations of an unconventional form of social organization observed in Brazil’s South region, the Faxinal. Methodologically, from the perspective that the Faxinal community embodies a traditional form of organization that has decreased dramatically in recent decades and that many of its original features have changed, we decided to adopt a historical approach. This was a means used to grasp traits and characteristics that, although lost or abandoned, may be instructive regarding the study objectives. Historically, capitalism has taken a position of higher order, by disseminating ideological principles and rationality as possibilities of evolution and better life when compared to the traditional foundations of social organization. The hegemonic view of the dominant model, with determinations imposed by instrumental rationality, pose limits to the richness deriving from the multiplicity of beliefs, traditions, particular customs and practices of the Faxinais, as it supports the generation of ideas and thoughts aimed at maintaining the rationale of development and progress. Thus, substantive organizational phenomena, such as the Faxinais, are situated in a historical process of construction, subject to the local social context of Brazilian regions marginalized by the urbanization and rationalization process of the capitalist economy, which has led their members to devise ways of organizing the social, economic, and political life based on principles different from those that support ideologically the capitalist organizational model. Therefore, the characteristics of the Faxinais point out Unconventional Form of Organization that break with the assumptions of the Organizational Studies.

Wittgenstein e bourdieu: linguagem, poder simbólico e análise da cultura organizacional

Abstract: Aproximando ideias de Wittgenstein e Bourdieu, ensaiamos de que forma o exercicio do poder simbolico constitui a cultura organizacional, potencializando investigacoes empiricas que posicionem, centralmente, o uso da linguagem na economia das trocas linguisticas, indagando como este participa da formacao dos capitais simbolicos representativos de poder que influenciam tal elemento organizacional. Cotejamos a nocao de 'jogos de linguagem' aos conceitos de ' habitus ', 'campo' e 'poder simbolico', demonstrando como o dominar de especificos jogos de linguagem angaria capital simbolico – mediante insercao, familiarizacao e dominio de especificos 'jogos' –, influenciando culturas organizacionais. Contribuimos para discussoes sobre cultura organizacional e poder simbolico, oferecendo subsidio teorico e conceitual para estudos das praticas nas organizacoes.
