“…Podemos, pois, concluir que existe, no geral, um deficit de participação dos diversos grupos constituintes da comunidade universitária e de outras IES. Esta circunstância não permite uma participação efetiva no processo de tomada de decisão e na gestão dessas mesmas instituições para além das falhas de carácter democrático que se registam (Luescher-Mamashela & Mugume, 2014;Zavale et al, 2017). Apesar desta situação geral, mesmo assim pode-se considerar que em alguns casos existe uma reveladora participação dos docentes devido, sobretudo, à sua preparação profissional que conduz a um certo ascendente relativamente a outros grupos da comunidade académica.…”

Resumo O presente artigo discute a transposição dos princípios normalmente aplicados na gestão empresarial para as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES). Discute-se, nomeadamente, a influência exercida pelo managerialismo na estruturação e funcionamento das Instituições de Ensino Superior. No estudo empírico conduzido em Moçambique, procede-se à análise dos posicionamentos de distintos atores sobre diferentes dimensões e categorias do problema, sustentado por uma metodologia de análise qualitativa a partir de uma amostra de 9 IES. As principais conclusões revelam que no ensino superior moçambicano permanece uma certa resistência das comunidades do ensino superior, particularmente dos seus profissionais, à intromissão do managerialismo, destacando-se um posicionamento favorável à colegialidade e à democraticidade. Não obstante o criticismo existente, alguns atores (minoritários) reconhecem a influência dos aportes managerialistas aos objetivos do ensino superior e à conceção e materialização da gestão das IES, propondo um modelo híbrido que associe as duas dimensões. O estudo revela, igualmente, um deficit de participação da comunidade do ensino superior nos processos de gestão e de tomada de decisão, dificultando a aplicabilidade do modelo colegial.

“…In literature, there have been very few studies conducted with the aim of discovering the factors lead in studies length problem and graduation dropout rate, N. Zavale et al [24] utilize a logistic regression analysis to measure and explain the graduation rate at Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM), Mozambique. The data of undergraduate students from 2003 to 2006 are collected to measure the graduation rate, where 8 independent variables (6 variables as student-specific and 2 concerning socio-demographic profile) are selected as core factors affecting in graduation rate.…”

Students are the key asset for any higher education institutions and their success in achieving the best academic performance within study planned period are resulting in producing graduates with high educational and professional quality skills. These graduates will become great leaders, manpower and play an important role in country's economic and social development. In most Higher Education Institutions, the students' studies length problem has not been investigated comprehensively despite the seriousness of this problem and its impact in the long and short terms. The aim of this research is to develop mining classification model based on decision tree to support academic administrators in decision making by defining features of linger students which could be used to develop an early warning system that has the ability to predict the students "who" might exceed the planned study length period. Data from faculty of computers and information technology at Uuniversity of Tabuk, KSA, has been collected using a survey method; students from male and female sections are participated in this survey. Then the data is preprocessed, after preprocessing of the data, C4.5 algorithm has been applied to discover the classifications.Index Terms-Data mining, classification, computer in education, C4.5, linger students commas.

“…À l'origine de ces faiblesses, les travaux soulignent les effets de la bureaucratisation du processus de mise en oeuvre des réformes, les critères de choix des enseignants et des évaluations pour les étudiants, l'utilisation du système de quota et la dynamique de commercialisation de l'ES comme autant de facteurs qui compromettent la performance du secteur (Zavale et al 2015(Zavale et al , 2017. En se focalisant sur les faiblesses d'organisation et de management universitaire, ces travaux ne s'intéressent pas suffisamment aux facteurs exogènes aux universités.…”
