Distance Education and Corporate Training in Brazil: Regulations and interrelationships

Stella C. S. Porto ; Zane L. Berge

Brazil ; corporate universities ; higher education ; distance education

Distance education in Brazil has evolved more slowly than distance education offerings in other developing countries. This is because all aspects of Brazil’s publicly-funded educational system are excessively regulated, highly bureaucratic, and tightly centralized. Such highly centralized bureaucracy and strict control has resulted in tremendous hurdles that work to thwart the adoption, provision, and diffusion of distance education.

THE INTERACTION OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICS IN BRAZIL DURING THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIP

Conte, Carolina Siqueira

Brazil ; Latin America ; Military Dictatorship ; Econimics of Brazil ; Politics of Brazil

In the period from 1964 to 1985, Brazil experienced a dictatorial regime and also its greatest economic growth rates.

This work aims to examine some representations of Brazil among students of a public school in Osasco, in the metropolitan area of Sao Paulo. These representations of Brazil are many times contradictory and they were the fonts of this research. In this sense, this work has systematized a set of representations formulated by the students in a lot of materials: questionnaires, texts and drawings made in 2006 and 2007. It also investigated some papers and books that have studied the ...
