This paper examines the origin and evolution of the Scholarship for Amazonian Native Communities, Beca 18 (CNA) in Peru from 2014 and 2021, focusing on the perspective of both the national indigenous federation, Aidesep and the National Program of Scholarships and Educational Credit (Pronabec). The research methodology combines the analysis of institutional documents and in-depth interviews with members of both institutions. We highlight Aidesep's initiative to establish a dialogue with Pronabec in 2013, the collaborative efforts between Aidesep and Pronabec during the early years of the scholarship, and the lack of publicly available statistics, particularly regarding the retention and graduation of indigenous university students. Both institutions identify the "loss of the scholarship" as amajor limitation, though each has different views on providing support to students to help them complete their studies. The Amazonian notion of 'getting usedd to' (acostumbrarse) emerges as a key element of the indigenous approach to supporting indigenous students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to examine the specificities of scientific cooperation in the Global South, with a focus on Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, and Arab States. The first section develops a theoretical discussion that contrasts the dominant concept of internationalization (Knight; De Wit) with recent critical studies in this field (Stein; Marginson; Teferra). It questions the applicability of the hegemonic conception of internationalization to the Global South and examines the unequal power relations and resource access disparities between countries and institutions. The second section, utilizing secondary statistical data and qualitative reports, provides a concise overview of the state of higher education and internationalization in these regions, highlighting key challenges. Finally, to illustrate alternatives models for a more autonomous and self-centered South-South internationalization, the article discusses the experience of the Knowledge Network on the Right to Education in the Global South (REGS), a cooperative initiative established among scientific associations in Latin America, Africa, and Arab States from 2021 to 2023.

Over the two decades, international academic rankings have significantly increased their influence in global higher education. Serving as benchmarks for the formation of public policies and the opinions of key actors in the field, these classifications have impacted academic and administrative activities of higher education institutions worldwide. In Brazil, research has highlighted the rankings’ role in institutional planning and university media; however, their impact on decision-making processes within higher education institutions remains unclear. This article aims to contribute to such understanding by analyzing minutes of the university boards of USP and Unicamp from 2010 to 2023. Our findings reveal that rankings are frequently utilized as a source of external authority in constructing argumentative strategies, shaping how stakeholders make sense of quality in higher education.

School failure as a phenomenon present in educational institutions today is a subject of constant investigation by postgraduate institutions and government agencies. The aim of this research was to investigate the theoretical and thematic shifts in the phenomenon of school failure within Brazilian public higher education. We sought to analyze this phenomenon from a critical viewpoint. To do this, we used bibliographical research, whose sources were searched in the Brazilian Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD). Despite the challenges of trying to analyze the phenomenon in the context of higher education, the results seem to point to the conjugation of a discourse centered on the core of positivist thinking on how to do science, with the authors and their reproducers seeking to blame educational institutions and individuals for the ills resulting from so-called school failure.

It analyzes the behavior of enrollment and academic performance of men and women in careers with low female presence. After creating a set of indexes of gender gaps and internal efficiency, a descriptive and longitudinal statistical analysis of academic registration databases of the programmatic offerings of a public university between 2014 and 2023 was performed. As a result, women apply less to engineering, but once they choose this option, they show a better academic performance. Although female enrollment has expanded, in areas such as engineering there is evidence of lags and gaps. It is women who show higher rates of retention, permanence, approval and timely graduation, in addition to presenting a significantly higher average performance. The argument of lower mathematical competencies of women to explain their professional choices in engineering is questioned. It highlights the importance of socio-educational interventions of attitudinal change that expand their choices to this area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, we present the profile of science outreach actions conducted at the University for International Integration of the Afro-Brazilian Lusophony (UNILAB). We analyzed qualitative and quantitative data sourced from the Pro-Rectorate for Science Outreach, Arts and Cultures of the institution, based on two documents published in 2021 and 2022. Thus, we explore key parameters and references essential to science outreach in Brazil, situating the analysis within the current context of Brazilian higher education institutions, focusing on their academic and social relevance, as well as potentials and challenges encountered. We then identified and analyzed science outreach actions, taking into consideration thematic areas, registered and carried out actions, collaborations with academic units, engagements with civil and political agents, alignment with sustainable development objectives, methods of registration and assessment and project-specific needs. Finally, we present the main synthetic-analytical results derived from this investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work aims to present the results of analysis developed from a bibliographic search on the theme of University Pedagogical Advisory. Studies about formative and support spaces for teaching in higher education have been expanded in Brazil, mainly through investigative movements of actions mapping. Methodologically, a search was realized in specific sources, focusing on periodicals articles. After selection of texts with contributions to study theme, nine answered the defined criteria, based on understanding the relevance of mobilizing theme and the keywords. The texts were published in periodicals of national public universities, that, however, are based on books as sources that provide the basis for reflections and important concepts to the area. The theoretical referential result from University Pedagogy and the University Pedagogical Advisory, through writings of Cunha (2014a, 2014b, 2015), Lucarelli (2000, 2007, 2008), Carrasco (2016, 2020), Xavier (2019) and Antonello (2020, 2021). The analysis showed that there is a coherent perspective on the function and work of pedagogical advisory in higher education. Although the notion of pedagogical advisory is not expressed clearly and conceptually, there is a convergence in understanding this as a field of help that, together with and dependent on institutional policies, is being instituted in the academic culture and constructing professional profiles.

The objective of this study was to review the scientific literature in order to gather empirical evidence about self-compassion in college students. The integrative review included articles published from 2009 to 2021, indexed in the PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, available in Portuguese, English, or Spanish. A total of 183 studies were found, and after undergoing the screening, eligibility, and selection steps, 9 articles were included, following the guidelines as established by PRISMA. The analysis of the results was categorized into two main topics: (i) self-compassion-based interventions for academics and (ii) self-compassion as a psychological protective factor for the mental health of higher education students. The results showed that self-compassion is considered an important protective factor for positive psychological functioning and for the development of characteristics that reflect positive dimensions of mental health and academic performance in college students. Keywords: compassion, college students, higher education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this scientific research product is to develop a methodological route for the design and implementation of learning outcomes in the Nursing program of the Popular University of Cesar. The research had a qualitative approach, using the documentary review technique of a bibliographic type and as an instrument a data collection form was used for the elaboration of comparative matrices, whose central axes were international and national guidelines for the construction of learning results., the competencies and profile of the nursing professional. In addition, a review of articles was carried out in the databases: Scielo, Science Direct, Scopus, LILACS and PubMed, as a reference framework for the design of a methodological route, which integrates problematizing nodes in each of the study plan areas., with the programmatic contents, the academic activities and the learning results, which contribute to the development of competencies and compliance with the graduation profile of the nursing professional.

Business Schools have positioned themselves as one of the central axes of specialized education in the world, and Latin America is no exception to this phenomenon. International accreditations are one of the main aspects of its positioning, which homogeneous guidelines can lead to imitation and nondifferentiation processes, without adopting adaptation strategies to the needs of its context. For this, the sustainable development goals (SDGs) are studied as a context, through a content analysis of 229 strategic elements from 60 business schools in Latin America, Europe, Asia, North America, the Middle East and Africa, and Oceania is analyzed to identify if Latin American schools differ or have isomorphic behavior compared to schools in other regions. Similarly, a comparison is established with the strategic response of companies to the SDGs, to identify if there is an aligned position of business schools against the actions taken by these. It was found that Latin American business schools have a similar behavior in terms of linking sustainable development goals in their strategy with schools in other areas of the world. Moreover, the strategic response of business schools to these needs is not articulated with the actions taken by companies in Latin American, so it is interpreted that there is a double disarticulation of business schools, opening a field to generate differentiation and positioning in the short and medium term.

Education in the knowledge society faces enormous challenges that must be faced under the perspective of pedagogical and didactic innovation. In this time of change, Challenge-Based Learning stands as a timely orientation for the improvement of teaching and learning practices, particularly in business administration programs offered in higher education institutions. Although CBL is a methodology that in recent years has been developed in different areas of knowledge, the full potential that this approach has to offer to university education is still unknown in the economic and administrative sciences. This being so, this article presents a systematic review of the literature on the pedagogical contribution of Challenge-Based Learning to the training of new business managers in higher education, so that they can respond to the needs of present and future organizations. A descriptive study is conducted by analyzing research published from 2019 to 2023, following the Prisma guidelines. Seventy-one articles were reviewed using a qualitative thematic matrix. The results describe the benefits of integrating challenge-based learning into the pedagogical structure of business administration programs. This research contributes to the state of the art of a relevant aspect that is making its way into higher education in Latin America. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At the beginning of the 21st century, social inclusion is one of the most present characteristics in policies for admission to higher education. These policies have led to a social diversification of the university population, but the trajectories of the benefited students are marked by encounters with social inequality. This article addresses this theme by problematizing the associations that students establish between difficulties arising from social inequality and individual talents and gifts, characterizing such association as a product of symbolic domination. The reports collected through interviews show that the so-called “new students” needed to be super-selected through school to acquire habitus and cultural capital that enabled their admission to the university. The encounter with social inequality can occur, especially, through economic and academic paths, with the latter being configured as a more potent symbolic violence because it claims to be natural. The data brought in this article show that the students themselves question and classify their performances by associating them with issues of capacity and gift, without the need for any institutional intervention or evaluation. Unconsciously, students employ categories of perception that make them enter the university game, even in an unfavorable situation. That is, students act as accomplices in this relationship of domination because their dispositions have already been dominated by recognizing the legitimacy of the university, believing in the individualizing discourse of merit, and ignoring the power relations that are maintained for the reproduction of an unequal society through school success.
