The increasing demand of students with Autistic Spectrum Disorder entering higher education has changed the educational scenario and fostered important discussions about the need for inclusive education and the use of adequate pedagogical/methodological materials for teaching this specific public. By reflecting on these needs, considering the scarcity of teaching material and attempting to contribute to the inclusion of the ASD students in higher education, we based this research on the following question: How to assist university professors on the process of teaching ASD students? The main purpose of this research is to create a teaching material composed by guidelines and methodological strategies which are based on active teaching and learning methodologies. In this context, we developed an educational product named TEAr. It consists of a pocket book for university professors that focuses on teaching students with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. It was based on the guiding principles of active teaching-learning methodologies; hence it proposes an adaptation of inverted learning in order to meet the main educational needs of ASD students. In order to elaborate the product, we carried bibliographical research on active teaching-learning methodologies applied to teaching students with ASD, the public policies for inclusion on general and inclusion of ASD university students specifically, and the academical characteristics of students with ASD by working with reports from the university students themselves. After conducting the bibliographic research and analyzing the reports, we created the project’s proposal. The proposal was submitted to the evaluation of a experts’ panel, which consisted of 3 different representations: a teacher, a student with ASD, and a UFPA’s mentor. The goal was to collect suggestions and make adjustments. After the contribution of multiple perspectives, the final version of TEAr was considered suitable to be used by university professors who teach undergraduate students.

Educação Inclusiva e jogos de cartas: o Jogo Acolher como proposta facilitadora do processo de inclusão de pessoas com deficiência no Ensino Superior
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-03-05) ASSUNÇÃO, Paulo Andrey Loredo de; RODRIGUES, Ronaldo de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1573942492848983; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5721-2926
The aim of this research was to develop a card game aimed at higher education students, which would help to reduce attitudinal barriers and contribute to the inclusion of people with disabilities (PwD) at this level of education. It was carried out using a qualitative approach, which guided the exploratory and field research. The theoretical basis was provided by studies involving Inclusive Education, such as Oliveira, I. (2002, 2017); Lima, S. (2017); Gamification and Games such as Kapp (2012); Gomes (2015, 2019) and Busarello (2016), in addition to documents from international conventions and Brazilian legislation regarding guidelines and orientations on the teaching of PwD, such as the Salamanca Declaration and the Brazilian Law for the Inclusion of People with Disabilities Law No. 13.146/15, respectively. The field research unfolded from internships and experiences at the Dentistry Course at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) and at the institution's Accessibility Coordination Office (CoAcess), with monitoring in each of the five divisions that provide support for students with disabilities. The active methodology called Gamification was used to develop the product. The product validation process was supported by a semi-structured questionnaire answered by course students and a panel of experts via Google Forms. The results from the students' point of view indicate that the game meets the proposed objectives and arouses interest in the subject, while the experts believe that the product can generate curiosity about the subject and contribute to reflection and a change in attitude. Thus, it is understood that even though the final version of the game is presented, it is not limited to a single version, situation or form of gameplay, but provides and invites the challenge of different practices in the teaching context to which it is directed.

Entraves e desafios para a efetivação da governança administrativa nas IES: um estudo comparativo entre a Universidade de Melbourne, a Universidade de Campinas e a Universidade Federal do Pará (Brasil - Austrália)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-06-28) CASTELLO, Rebecca do Nascimento; PONT VIDAL, Josep; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4415362518177732
This study aims to analyze the administrative governance of the University of Melbourne (UNIMELB) in Australia, the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), these two in Brazil, through a comparative study, based on analytical categories of financial autonomy, control, model and decision-making logic. The research was carried out through a specific literature review, using Niklas Luhmann's Theory of Self-Referential Systems as theoretical-methodological support. A mixed approach (quali quanti) was applied, using semi-structured interviews and documentary research as an instrument for data collection, interpreted through content analysis. As main results, it was identified that the three universities have predominant characteristics of the “Stakeholders” governance model, with UNIMELB moving towards an “Entrepreneur” model. The three institutions have characteristics predominantly of the bureaucratic decision-making model, but Brazilian universities still use secondary codes when it comes to appointments to senior management positions, which can directly impact the use of overcodes. The need to argue the selected choice was evident in all HEIs, thus generating differences in the system. With regard to financial autonomy, UFPA and UNICAMP do not have diversification of sources of resources, depending mostly on public resources, as a consequence of a poor relationship with the productive sector and administrative decisions that are inoperative in relation to increasing this autonomy. With regard to the control category, UFPA stood out, followed by UNIMELB and UNICAMP, the latter with problems to be overcome in relation to transparency and internal and external audits. Making a parallel between the theoretical framework and the analytical categories, an “ideal model” for university governance in the administrative area was purposefully outlined. It was concluded that governance in the three universities needs improvement in at least one of the analyzed categories. Brazilian HEIs need to focus on policies aimed at greater diversification of financial resources; correct communication codes with other systems making decision making more adequate and; finally, UNIMELB and UNICAMP need to improve actions involving control.

Recursos metodológicos para gestão do relacionamento com egressas/os da pós-graduação na Universidade Federal do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-08-08) FIGUEIREDO, Mônica de Souza; CUNHA, Janice Muriel Fernandes Lima da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4027012189701116; LOPES, Suzana Cunha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9267654589941610
The relationship between the alumni of postgraduate has become an emerging theme, stimulated, among other factors, by the valorization of indicators of social impact in national and international evaluations of higher education. This research presents the following guiding question: How to assist the coordinators and secretaries of the postgraduate programs from the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) to enhance the management actions of the relationship between the alumni students and their associated programs? To propose a solution to this questioning, the research aimed at developing methodological resources to assist in the relationship management with the alumni students from the postgraduate programs of UFPA. The theoretical background was based on the study of the history and the management of postgraduate programs in Brazil, as well as the scenario of postgraduate programs at UFPA. Another theoretical basis were the studies about the alumni students, specially referring to the relation between the alumni postgraduate students and their programs, and how this relationship can be fostered since the entrance period. From this discussion, it is proposed an initial conception from the term “alumni students’ relationship management”. In the same way, a survey about how UFPA currently holds the relationship management with the alumni students was carried out. In this diagnostic, it was clarified that the postgraduate programs are a complex scenario, and that the alumni students’ relationship management have been highlighted in the discussions about the management and the assessment of the postgraduate programs in Brazil, although the theme is incipient. Therefore, it is proposed two educational products composed by a set of methodological resources directed to coordinators and secretaries of postgraduate programs (as the first target audience of the research), for it to be used in the administrative, academic, and relationship management among the students (future alumni students) and alumni students. The methodological approach adopted was composed by bibliographical and documental research, state-of-the-art, the target audience profile survey, and a survey containing the information about the relationship with the alumni students in the reports of Coleta CAPES 2020 of the postgraduate programs of UFPA. The validation/co-creation of the product was realized through six sections, with groups of two or three participants each, totalizing 15 collaborators, who discussed all the educational product’s components. For the development of the methodological resources that compose the product, it was established four timeframes: the entrance, the middle way, the conclusion, and the alumni. As a result, it was elaborated a methodological matrix, with assessment criteria for each timeframe, that can be used by postgraduate programs for the relationship management with their students and alumni students. As a proposal for the matrix application, it is indicated the use of graphics as the “wheel of life” type, in which it is summarized the evaluative aspects and allows a diagnosis for the program and a self-evaluation to the student/alumni student. The second product is a strategies catalogue to the relationship management with the alumni students, with guidelines for actions to the creation and maintenance of relation with the alumni students. For a better diagnosis and selection of strategies to be applied, it is attached to the product a perception graphic of the relationship with the alumni students. It is expected this product to be an aggregator component for the postgraduate programs and to foster the collaborative and integrated work of management between coordinators and secretaries of postgraduate programs.

VED - Vídeo-Ensaio Discente: incentivo às experimentações audiovisuais no ensino superior
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-06-27) BRITO, Anderson da Silva; SEIXAS, Netília Silva dos Anjos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2301685130625189
The present master's research focused on analyzing the interaction between technological advancements in the audiovisual field and higher education. Given the constant evolution of instructional devices, university students face persistent challenges in dealing with emerging technologies in the academic environment. The use of video as a didactic resource can be pivotal in the practical context of the teaching and learning process. With the goal of enhancing students' audiovisual skills in higher education, the research gave rise to the Student Video Essay (VED). The VED is an educational product developed between 2021 and 2023, within the scope of the Graduate Program in Creativity and Innovation in Higher Education Methodologies (PPGCIMES), a subunit of the Center for Innovation and Technologies Applied to Teaching and Extension (NITAE²) at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA). This program focuses on research related to Creativity and Innovation in Educational Processes and Products (CIPPE). The VED is designed as an audiovisual educational resource, aimed at facilitating video production and encouraging the creation of creative and innovative approaches in higher education. It was developed with the purpose of enabling students to understand the global relevance of moving media in various academic and professional situations. Additionally, the VED aims to contribute to students' autonomy in video production, allowing them to participate more actively in the educational process and reflect on their own academic contributions. The research adopted an approach that encompassed both qualitative and quantitative aspects, using the following methodological procedures: the conception phase (including literature review and exploratory research), the elaboration stage (including pre-production, production, and post production), the validation period (through application to a group of undergraduate students at UFPA), the analysis phase (involving data collection and analysis), and the finalization stage (encompassing maintenance and formatting of the final product). The VED presents itself as a variant of a video essay, blending elements of a written essay with visual resources, offering an option to enhance content comprehension and technical skills such as video editing and teamwork. The underlying objective of the research was to promote the adoption of audiovisual technology as a strategy to assist students' academic journey, fostering knowledge generation, and improving the quality of learning.
