Advances and New Perspectives in Higher Education Quality
The changes that have occurred in today's society require Higher Education to be highly efficient in the academic and professional preparation of young people who enter university. For that reason, universities around the globe have been advocating in recent years for an improvement in the quality of teaching-learning processes. As an example, the World University Consortium (2023) currently presents, among its most urgent and priority objectives, the identification of the best evaluative practices of the educational processes that are carried out at the University, as well as the recognition of the actions aimed at improving educational processes based on scientific evidence. In this way, it seeks to distinguish all those educational actions that are at the forefront; going from actions at the micro level, such as individual teaching practices in the classroom (such as the application of the flipped classroom or the use of augmented reality); up to actions taken at the macro level such as those proposed in the Horizon Europe 2020 strategy.
Health Promotion in Schools, Universities, Workplaces, and Communities
Health education, well-being improvement, and advocacy are effective health promotion strategies among cutting-edge Public Health practices. Salutogenic perspectives, rooted in ecological models, have taken their rightful place to empower individuals and communities to change their life ecosystems and preserve and improve their health. It is imperative to shift from targeting protective or risk factors, which have linear causal relationships with health conditions and/or comorbidities, and encompass a systemic understanding of the role of health determinants in creating health. Individual, collective, and structural ecological approaches can better reduce health inequities. Moreover, engagin...

Accelerating Entrepreneurial Decision- Making with Hybrid Intelligence
Previous studies revealed that around 75 percent of all start-ups fail at an early stage. One main reason for this tremendous failure rate is that decision-makers are typically confronted with high levels of uncertainty about the viability of their proposed business idea. Following this argumentation, entrepreneurial decisions can be defined as complex decision-making problem under both risk and uncertainty. While risk includes quantifiable probabilities, uncertainty describes situations where neither outcomes nor their probability distribution can be assessed a priori. Consequently, the strategic decision-making context is highly complex and contains lots of “black swan events” that seems to be unpredictable. As previous research does not provide any software solutions for decision augmentation in such domains, the purpose of this study is to explore the decision- making context and then suggest novel and innovative design paradigms and design principles for decision augmentation for strategic decision-making.
Students at Risk of School Failure
The main objective of this Research Topic is to determine the conditions that place students at risk of school failure, identifying student and context variables. In spite of the fact that there is currently little doubt about how one learns and how to teach, in some countries of the “developed world,” there is still there is a high rate of school failure. Although the term “school failure” is a very complex construct, insofar as its causes, consequences, and development, from the field of educational psychology, the construct “student engagement” has recently gained special interest in an attempt to deal with the serious problem of school failure. School engagement builds on the...
O olhar da psicologia da educação para o ensino superior
A evasão nas universidades é uma questão conhecida há muito tempo, mas a análise desse fenômeno sob a perspectiva da Psicologia da Educação é relativamente recente, ganhando destaque especialmente após a pandemia de covid-19. Neste livro, exploramos o bem-estar dos estudantes ingressantes no ensino superior: o que esperam dessa nova fase? Como lidam com os novos desafios – novas amizades, professores, rotina e expectativas? Os autores, renomados pesquisadores no campo, dedicam-se a investigar a evasão e a permanência dos estudantes universitários, identificando os fatores cruciais que influenciam esse processo. A obra está organizada em três partes: a primeira aborda as prin...
Políticas de Permanência Estudantil: Representações e Práticas de Gestores Universitários
O livro Políticas de permanência estudantil: representações e práticas de gestores universitários busca analisar os principais problemas enfrentados na implementação de políticas públicas/ações de permanência estudantil em Instituições de Ensino Superior brasileiras. O autor realizou entrevistas com alguns profissionais que atuam nas Divisões de Apoio ao Estudante (ou equivalentes) de três grandes universidades brasileiras (duas públicas e uma privada) e com agentes que exercem cargos de chefia e atuam no processo de implementação, acompanhamento acadêmico e apoio pedagógico aos estudantes. Este estudo permitiu analisar as percepções desses agentes institucionais, sua...
Osteochondral Tissue Engineering
This book reviews the most recent developments in the field of osteochondral tissue engineering (OCTE) and presents challenges and strategies being developed that face not only bone and cartilage regeneration, but also establish osteochondral interface formation in order to translate it into a clinical setting. Topics include nanotechnology approaches and biomaterials advances in osteochondral engineering, advanced processing methodology, as well as scaffolding and surface engineering strategies in OCTE. Hydrogel systems for osteochondral applications are also detailed thoroughly. Osteochondral Tissue Engineering: Nanotechnology, Scaffolding-Related Developments and Translation is an ideal book for biomedical engineering students and a wide range of established researchers and professionals working in the orthopedic field.
Understanding and Reducing College Student Departure
Student departure is a long-standing problem to colleges and universities. Approximately 45 percent of students enrolled in two-year colleges depart during their first year, and approximately one out of four students departs from a four-year college or university. The authors advance a serious revision of Tinto's popular interactionalist theory to account for student departure, and they postulate a theory of student departure in commuter colleges and universities. This volume delves into the literature to describe exemplary campus-based programs designed to reduce student departure. It emphasizes the importance of addressing student departure through a multidisciplinary approach, engaging the whole campus. It proposes new models for nonresidential students and students from diverse backgrounds, and suggests directions for further research. Academic and student affairs administrators seeking research-based approaches to understanding and reducing student departure will profit from reading this volume. Scholars of the college student experience will also find it valuable in defining new thrusts in research on the student departure process.
