O artigo apresenta a " Pesquisa Nacional Qualidade da Educação: a escola pública na opinião dos pais" , realizada pela Fundação Cesgranrio para o DAEB/INEP/MEC, em 2004/2005. A pesquisa caracteriza-se por ser um estudo de natureza metodológica qualiquantitativa, que teve por objetivo produzir uma visão geral e compreensiva da relação entre escola e responsáveis de alunos, a partir da perspectiva dos pais/responsáveis dos alunos. A metodologia utilizada para a coleta de informações, foi efetuada em duas etapas: a primeira, através da realização de 10 grupos focais, e a segunda, através da aplicação de questionários a 10.500 pais ou responsáveis, entrevistados em todas as unidades federativas brasileiras. Os resultados apresentados no artigo ilustram as percepções e expectativas dos pais em relação à escola de seus filhos, estudantes de instituições públicas, estaduais e municipais de Ensino Fundamental. A pesquisa revelou, entre outros resultados, que os responsáveis pelos alunos da escola pública brasileira, de modo geral, estão satisfeitos com a educação recebida hoje por seus filhos, considerando-a melhor do que a educação que receberam em sua época de estudo.
Galápagos is one of the most pristine archipelagos in the world and its conservation relies upon research and sensible management. In recent decades both the interest in, and the needs of, the islands have increased, yet the funds and capacity for necessary research have remained limited. It has become, therefore, increasingly important to identify areas of priority research to assist decision-making in Galápagos conservation.
This study identified 50 questions considered priorities for future research and management. The exercise involved the collaboration of policy makers, practitioners and researchers from more than 30 different organisations. Initially, 360 people were consulted to generate 781 questions. An established process of preworkshop voting and three rounds to reduce and reword the questions, followed by a two-day workshop, was used to produce the final 50 questions. The most common issues raised by this list of questions were human population growth, climate change and the impact of invasive alien species. These results have already been used by a range of organisations and politicians and are expected to provide the basis for future research on the islands so that its sustainability may be enhanced.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
