Managerial tools in the management of universities: a integrated literature review

2024-04-01T17:00:33-03:00

Introduction: The foundational precepts that govern the management process, namely efficiency and effectiveness, are inexorably intertwined with the attainment of institutional objectives. The use of managerial tools proves to be a vital support in the intricacies of management, fostering critical reflection and enabling continuous improvements in procedures. However, delving into managerial processes in academic environments proves to be a challenging endeavor, stemming from the pressing need to adapt concepts originated from the business sphere and the lack of specific terminologies that can guide research in the pertinent literature. Objective: The present research undertakes a scientific investigation with the scope of meticulously analyzing the empirical evidence concerning the applicability of managerial tools in the context of university administration. Methodology: The Integrated Literature Review (ILR) technique was employed as a methodological instrument to address the primary question guiding this research: what is the impact of managerial tools on the efficiency and effectiveness of university management? For this purpose, a systematic approach was adopted in the search for pertinent information, using specific keywords, through searches conducted in two renowned bibliographic databases, the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Inclusion criteria were meticulously delineated, encompassing original or complete review articles, published between 2018 and 2023, available free and accessible online. The theme of the selected studies should focus on the managerial process in higher education institutions, providing subsidies on the managerial tools employed. In addition, the works should be written in one of the languages relevant to the research - Portuguese, English, or Spanish - and contain the specific keywords previously stipulated. On the other hand, articles that were duplicates, as well as correspondences, editorials, incomplete documents, book chapters, and studies focusing on the student population or dedicated exclusively to the teaching-learning process and library management were excluded from the analysis. These criteria proved essential for the precise delimitation of the research scope and for obtaining relevant and congruent results with the proposed objectives. Results: After a thorough analysis of a bibliographic corpus composed of 774 articles, only 14 were subjected to rigorous scrutiny to integrate the Integrated Literature Review (ILR). The results obtained highlight the pressing importance of a holistic understanding and effective integration of managerial processes as ineluctable premises for the achievement of effective university management. The critical role played by managerial tools, exemplified by Value Stream Mapping and process matrices, in the relentless pursuit of continuous improvement in educational processes, stands out prominently. Furthermore, unequivocal evidence emerges from the analyses conducted regarding the increasing pressure exerted on contemporary higher education institutions, compelling them to continuously adapt to emerging demands. Such a context underscores the indispensability of proactive and strategic leadership, capable of facing inherent challenges such as work overload, bureaucratic sluggishness, and exogenous influences. In this vein, the preponderance of collaborative values, democratic participation, and the flourishing of leadership skills become indubitable, emerging as fundamental pillars for the success of university management in the face of present and future vicissitudes. Conclusion: The efficiency and effectiveness of university management are influenced by the adoption and application of managerial tools, but it needs to be closely associated with the skills and competencies of the manager in guiding processes and the involved team to deliver effective and efficient results.

Who governs governance? iGG analysis from the capacities of Federal Education Institutions

2024-04-08T00:11:55-03:00

Our aim was to validate the integrated index of public governance and management (iGG) of Brazilian IFES, based on aspects of the technical capacity of these institutions. Data collected from 103 IFES were subjected to cluster analysis and means tests. Based on the identification of possible weaknesses in the index in the areas of personnel, information technology, financial resources, and internal control, it is clear that the iGG needs improvement to, as a management instrument, facilitate the promotion of governance in IFES and, therefore, contribute to quality public education.

Participants responded to a demographic questionnaire, the Career Project Affect Scale, and the Emotional Skills Inventory. The results indicate that meeting students' needs through student assistance contributes to emotional regulation, and positive career affects explain satisfaction with the career and the course.

The 10 years of the Quota Law in Brazilian higher education

2024-08-10T14:37:20-03:00

This study sought to identify how the literature has discussed the effects of the Quota Law No. 12,711/2012 on Brazilian Public Higher Education after ten years, in 2022. The integrative literature review method was used, analyzing studies published between 2012 and 2022 on the topic on different platforms. The corpus analyzed demonstrated that there was no significant difference in academic performance between quota and non-quota students and most of the cases studied did not detect an increase in the dropout rate after the policy was included. Some research also indicates that dropout rates were lower among quota students, and that entry policies unaccompanied by retention policies generate false inclusion.

The curricularization of extension and its influence on the constitution of professional identity: from systemic structures to curricular implementation

2024-08-10T14:30:05-03:00

The research on the Curricularization of University Extension (CUE), was based on the speeches of the actors who manage the Physical Education (PE) courses, involved in the CUE implementation process, choosing as its objective to analyze the CUE process and its identity relationships with initial training in PE courses in public Higher Education Institutions in the state of Paraná. From the outsiders and the devices highlighted, it was observed that CUE is a basic prerogative for the implementation of the teaching-research-extension triad as an action of professional identification of the future teacher.

The financing of student assistance in higher education in Brazil in the context of capital financialization (2015-2022)

2024-08-10T14:35:49-03:00

The aim of this article is to analyze the process of capital financialization and the way in which the financing of Student Assistance at Brazilian federal public universities has been shaped in this context. The research is qualitative in nature and uses bibliographic review and documentary analysis as its technical-methodological procedures. The findings of the research allowed us to infer that the financing of Student Assistance suffers the deleterious effects generated by the expansion of rentier capital, which is fed and sustained, among other factors, by the strengthening of the public debt.

The weakness of the basic education and the curricular flexibilization in the new high school: denial of young people’s rights

2024-06-23T19:17:08-03:00

This article analyzes the limits and perspectives of the curricular flexibility proposed by Law No. 13.415/2017 regarding the guarantees of the rights of young people to have access to historically produced knowledge and integral human training. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with students in the 2nd year of the New High School at two public schools in Santa Catarina. The main theoretical references are based on Saviani and Kuenzer. The results showed that the current educational politics weakens the concept of Basic Education and also highlights its denial to young people.

The public and the private in the formulation of higher education evaluation policies in Brazil

2024-01-16T10:23:13-03:00

The aim of this article is to understand the participation of private actors in the formulation of higher education evaluation policies based on the analysis of events held by private IES associations, as well as their participation in the Ministry of Education's Working Group, between 2007 and 2023. Eighty-six (86) events related to higher education evaluation were mapped which, given the public they bring together, can be characterized as a window of opportunity, in Kingdon's (2003) sense, for the private sector to become involved in the public sector. The definition of public and private is anchored in Cury's (2006) conceptualization and starts from the theoretical debate already established by Cunha (1989), Cury (1988,1992), Rocha (1992), Amaral (2003), Leher (2001), Lombardi, Jacomeli and Silva (2003), Pinheiro (2001), Saviani (2007) and Sampaio (2015). The results, based on the evidence shown in the text, point to a closer relationship between the public and the private in a system of correlation, where private actors organize themselves into pressure groups that present their agendas at events with the participation of government actors who, in turn, share their technical and informational expertise.

Formative trajectories of former PIBID scholarship holders at Feevale University

2024-09-12T09:57:01-03:00

The study investigates the formative trajectories of former PIBID scholarship holders from Feevale University. The theoretical framework is based on authors who discuss the trajectory of graduates. Quantitative and qualitative data were used, including a questionnaire with 34 former scholarship holders and interviews with six of them. For the majority of former scholarship holders, PIBID contributed to their insertion, professional performance and permanence in basic education. However, the program could expand its space and duration, allow greater freedom for interdisciplinary approaches, and avoid occurring in the reverse school shift.

Student protagonism and the challenges of democracy at school

2024-06-09T23:09:30-03:00

This is a review of the book Escola e democracia: entre políticas e práticas (School and democracy: between politics and practices), written by Alice Botler and José Almir do Nascimento.
