Higher Education in dispute: Expansion of Distance Learning, public policies and enrollment in Secretarial Studies
The objective of this article is to analyze how public policies for access to higher education influenced the profile of students in Secretarial courses between the years 2010 and 2023. The methodological approach is based on a quantitative, descriptive-exploratory methodology, carried out mainly through descriptive statistics. The data used were extracted from the microdata of the Higher Education Census provided by Inep. The results indicate the predominance of the private sector and the distance learning modality, especially in technological degree courses, and reveal significant advances in the inclusion of students from public schools and belonging to historically underrepresented ethnic-racial groups, especially after the implementation of the Lei de Cotas (Law No. 12,711/2012). The study also highlights the retraction of programs such as FIES and Prouni and the growth of private institutions' own financing schemes. It is concluded that, although there are signs of democratization in access, challenges still persist related to the lack of investment in the public sector and the possible transformation of distance learning into a marketable product in the Secretarial field .

The uses of digital tools and Artificial Intelligence at work: a study with executive secretariat professionals
The adoption of digital tools for the performance of work-related activities has increased significantly in recent years, with particular emphasis on the emergence and use of artificial intelligence–based tools, which have increasingly entered professional environments across various fields. This is the case of executive secretariat, a profession closely linked to organizational management and one that deals daily with data, information, and communication, elements that are strongly influenced by the use of technologies. In this context, this study aims to investigate the relationship between executive secretariat professionals and the use of digital and artificial intelligence tools in their daily professional practices. Through an exploratory study with a mixed-methods approach, an electronic questionnaire was administered to professionals working in secretarial and advisory positions between August 26 and December 13, 2024, resulting in 129 respondents. The main findings reveal that the professionals surveyed use a wide range of digital and artificial intelligence (AI) tools in their daily work activities and perceive AI as an ally in the workplace, insofar as these tools support the execution of routine tasks, enhance administrative work, and facilitate internal communication processes. On the other hand, perceived negative impacts include the possibility of technological dependence, either on specific tools or technology providers, data loss, information security issues, and potential job displacement in certain technical functions. These findings suggest the need for a critical and ethically grounded approach to the use of digital and AI-based tools.
Marketing digital no Brasil: uma revisão da produção científica na Web of Science (2006–2024)
The world has undergone a process of digitalization in which an increasing number of people have access, through mobile devices, to information, purchases, advertising, announcements, and consumption options in the palm of their hands. As a result, new possibilities for conducting marketing have emerged, especially what can be referred to as digital marketing. Considering the relevance and timeliness of the topic, it is necessary to understand how Brazilian researchers have produced knowledge on this subject. Thus, the objective of this study is to map the scientific literature published up to 2024, focusing on articles in the Portuguese language indexed in the Web of Science database. The purpose is to understand how Brazilian academic research has evolved in addressing this constantly growing topic. The analysis of this article is structured into two main parts: the first consists of a descriptive analysis of the publications, while the second involves an analysis of the objectives and main results identified. It is possible to understand that digital marketing should not be merely an isolated action undertaken by companies, but rather an activity that is part of a broader and more organized strategic construction. Many companies use digital marketing to build relationships with consumers; however, there remains a conceptual and practical gap regarding what digital marketing is, as in practice it often relies on social media as an action strategy, with little effort devoted to measurement and monitoring by companies.
The secretary profession in the international context: a study based on the requirements of the vacancies offered
The executive secretary profession has been undergoing constant transformations, keeping pace with changes in the job market, the needs of companies, and technological evolution. The profession is regulated by laws in Brazil and developed in various countries, each with its own specificities. Thus, the present study aims to analyze the job market for the secretarial professional in different countries around the world. The research, of a qualitative and quantitative nature, with an exploratory investigation method, was elaborated through bibliographical and documentary research, in which job vacancies for the professional were analyzed in international platforms that offer such opportunities. The results obtained revealed that, in different countries, in order to apply for most vacancies, having a higher education degree in the area, prior experience and/or mastering another language are competences required with low frequency. This indicates that the Brazilian professional is able to apply for these vacancies, as, given the higher education in the area, the professional has a set of technical and personal skills that enables them to perform in an international scope.

A importância do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) para a formação de professores de língua(s): o caso de um Curso de Letras da UFMS
This report aims to present and encourage student participation in programs that contribute to the training process of undergraduate students, such as the Institutional Program for Teaching Initiation Scholarships (PIBID), as part of the National Teacher Training Policy of the Ministry of Education and CAPES. Many academics, when they are in the classroom for the first time, do not have a broad understanding of which teaching methods or practices to use in the classroom that meet the needs of students and allow for broad and meaningful learning in their lives. Given this, based on the experience in the aforementioned Program, specifically in the Interdisciplinary Subproject in the Area of Languages with qualifications in Portuguese, English, and Spanish at the Aquidauana Campus of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (PIBID/UFMS 2022-2024 Notice), it became clear that the program not only provides contact and reflection on teaching practice in the classroom, but also opens up opportunities for possible scientific research. Therefore, it is necessary to participate in programs that connect undergraduate students with educational contexts in basic education, in order to improve teaching methods and learn from both teachers and students who are at this stage of their training.
A contribuição do secretário executivo no processo decisório envolvendo a gestão de projetos: um estudo de caso em uma fundação no estado de Pernambuco
Considering the increasing complexity of organizational environments and the need for efficient management, the objective of this study is to investigate how the executive secretary contributes to the decision-making process involving project management in a foundation located in the state of Pernambuco. To achieve this, content analysis was used to examine the data collected through interviews, along with descriptive analysis supported by statistical tools to evaluate the data obtained from the structured questionnaire applied to the foundation’s executive secretaries. The results indicate that the executive secretary plays a fundamental role in organizing and systematizing information, mediating between different departments, and managing deadlines and costs—essential factors for the success of projects. However, challenges such as excessive bureaucracy, difficulties in interdepartmental communication, and the need for greater professional recognition remain as barriers to be overcome. In light of this, the study suggests investments in training, greater integration between departments, and the improvement of technological tools to strengthen the role of the secretary in the decision-making process within project management. It is concluded that the presence of this professional in project management is essential to promote efficiency and more assertive decision-making within the organization.
Occupation of Higher Education Professionals under Remote Work: An Analysis of the Social Processes Shaping the Occupational Mandate
The study examines concepts of occupations and professions to understand how the social processes that constitute the occupational mandate of education professionals are formed in remote‐work contexts. Occupation is defined by those who practice it and by judgments internal and external to the group, articulating multiple levels of analysis rather than a purely social one (Da Costa, 2018). The topic is salient because employment has historically become the principal means of achieving security, success, and the fulfillment of basic needs (Woleck, 2017). A qualitative design was adopted to capture phenomena associated with labor precarization (Sampieri, 2013). Data collection relied on a semi-structured interview, “guided by a set of points of interest that the interviewer explores throughout the process” (Gil, 2002). Interviews were conducted online with eight participants working directly in education. The corpus was examined through content analysis. Findings indicate that the rapid transition to remote teaching contributed to the precarization of teaching work and to diminished control over tasks that compose the occupational mandate, in both practical and symbolic dimensions. Four aggregated dimensions emerged from the interview data, synthesizing these transformations. Insufficient technological and infrastructural resources among students further hindered teacher–student interaction and complicated the assessment of learning outcomes. In conclusion, the abrupt modification of work processes disrupted the occupational mandate of teachers, intensifying precarization within a socially vital profession. Adaptation required a reframing of professional practice, the reconfiguration of instructional mechanisms, and an active search for knowledge and tools capable of improving the dynamics of remote classes.

A pandemia de Covid-19 trouxe desafios significativos para o varejo, especialmente para as empresas de vestuário feminino. Neste sentido, este estudo visa compreender o processo de adaptação das estratégias de marketing, de empresas de vestuário feminino da cidade de Santana do Livramento/RS, diante dos desafios impostos pela pandemia, preenchendo uma lacuna na literatura que carece de pesquisas focadas nesse contexto local. Assim, foi realizada uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, do tipo descritiva, a partir de uma pesquisa narrativa. Para a coleta de dados foram realizadas entrevistas por meio de um roteiro semiestruturado com onze empresas da cidade, sendo que os dados foram analisados por análise interpretativa. Os resultados mostraram que, no início da pandemia, as empresas enfrentaram grandes dificuldades devido à falta de preparação para o ambiente digital. No entanto, a necessidade de se reinventar levou à adoção de novas estratégias, como o uso intensivo de redes sociais para vendas e divulgação. As empresas que se adaptaram rapidamente ao marketing digital e inovaram em suas abordagens tiveram mais sucesso em manter suas operações. A pesquisa ressalta a importância da flexibilidade e criatividade para a sobrevivência das empresas, evidenciando que aquelas que dominaram as novas ferramentas digitais tiveram maiores chances de sucesso no cenário pós-pandemia. Em suma, o estudo contribui para a compreensão do impacto da pandemia no setor de vestuário feminino, sugerindo que futuras pesquisas explorem experiências em diferentes contextos e regiões.
The meaning of work: a perception of executive secretariat students
The word work has several meanings. For this reason, this study aims to highlight the perception of work according to students of the Trilingual Executive Secretarial course at the Federal University of Viçosa. This problem arose because research related to the concept of work in the profession is scarce. According to future professionals, the perception of the word contributes to the academic community in possible research related to the topic. To achieve the result, qualitative methods were used, a demographic questionnaire and a semi-structured questionnaire, based on bibliographic research. The questions were applied in individual interviews and in two focus groups, in which students from different periods of their undergraduate studies participated. The results showed that there are in fact students who understand work solely as an activity that generates financial return. On the other hand, due to family and personal portraits, some see the activity as a routine and unrelated task, which directly influenced the choice of career that the participants wish to pursue, indicating that secretarial work is a profession welcomed by personal identification and not only by financial return.

Secretarial work in the Covid-19 pandemic the perception of professionals regarding the adaptation to remote work on the pandemic context
This study's main objective was to investigate the perception of executive secretaries regarding the adaptation of remote work during the Covid-19 pandemic. To this end, the concept and regulation of teleworking was analyzed, in addition to its benefits, difficulties and secretarial skills. Using online forms and semi-structured interviews, a qualitative and descriptive research was carried out with ten graduated executive secretary professionals and working in different organizations. It was found that most of them felt prepared, totally or in part, to continue their activities at home office, thus demonstrating the ability to adapt. Among the challenges of this pandemic period, the internal communication of organizations was especially evident, which was affected due to the isolation and, consequently, the distance from co-workers. However, most participants mentioned communication competence as being very important when it comes to teleworking. It was also observed that challenges existed, however, they didn’t prevent the demands from being carried out and fulfilled. Finally, most of the interviewees identified benefits and positive points through the experience of remote work, whether in their personal life or for the organizations as a whole.

Internacionalização e Secretariado: Um estudo Bibliométrico baseado em Corpus
Internationalization is, directly or indirectly, present in the daily routine of the Executive Secretariat (ES) professional. Regarding their academic training, the skills developed, and the necessary competencies, internationalization emerges with the purpose of enhancing the qualification of ES professionals to work in this field. This implies that ES professionals must be prepared to deal with international matters, whether in communicating with people from different cultures, managing schedules, or participating in international negotiations. Based on this discussion, the present research aims to understand how the literature addresses internationalization in the context of ES, considering publications in scientific journals specific to the field of Secretariat Studies and the proceedings of the National Academic Meeting of Executive Secretariat (Enasec). To this end, bibliometric and descriptive design, supported by tools such as WordArt and WordSmith Tools (for data collection and extensive corpus statistics), provided a detailed overview of the academic production related to internationalization in ES. The study's objective was achieved through the analysis of 11 full articles and three expanded abstracts that relate Executive Secretariat and Internationalization. It was possible to understand that internationalization, besides being a career option for ES professionals, is also present in the academic literature in this field. Furthermore, the existing publications can contribute positively to reflections in this area and to better training of professionals for their international roles.
nvisible Professionals in the Corporate World: The Role of a Professional Council in Valuing Executive Secretaries (ES)
This paper addresses the invisibility of Executive Secretariat (ES) professionals in the corporate context, highlighting the importance of establishing a Federal Council of Executive Secretariat (CFSEC) as a mechanism for valuing and recognizing this profession. The aim of this study is to analyze how the creation of a Federal Council of Executive Secretariat (ES) could contribute to the enhancement and strengthening of these professionals' identity, as well as to their visibility in the labor market. The theoretical approach is based on a bibliographic review, covering concepts such as invisibility in the workplace, the role of ES in organizations, the complexities of visibility in the current corporate environment, and the challenges faced in regulating the profession. The methodology involves a bibliographic study characterized by the analysis of existing literature and critical reflection on the subject. The main findings indicate that the absence of a regulatory council contributes to the perpetuation of ES professionals' invisibility, affecting their professional identity and recognition in the labor market. It is concluded that the creation of CFSEC could be a crucial step towards transforming these professionals into valued and respected agents, fostering a significant shift in the social and organizational perception of the profession.

The socioeconomic context in learning foreign languages for the Executive Secretariat
With the advancement of technology and the advent of globalization, professionals in a variety of areas, including Executive Secretariats, need to be constantly developing to meet the demands of the job market. One of the most demanded skills for professionals is mastery of a second language, and for professionals in the secretarial field, this skill becomes essential for the performance of their duties. Thus, this research aims to identify the socioeconomic context in the learning of foreign languages ​​by Executive Secretariat students for the exercise of the profession. The theoretical basis of this study includes authors such as Oliveira (2008), Nonato Júnior (2009), Durante (2012), among others. The methodology is qualitative and descriptive, adopting a field survey, through the application of a questionnaire, using the framework for congruence of objectives and questions. The main results show that there is a relationship between the aspects of socioeconomic context and learning of foreign languages, since most students have never taken a private foreign language course due to the high cost of these services. Despite this relationship, students seek more accessible alternative means of learning foreign languages, aiming to meet the demands of the job market and to be in constant development. The analysis of the results revealed that students recognize the importance of foreign language proficiency for the Executive Secretariat and have a professional development plan to improve this skill demanded by the world of work.
Idiomatic expressions in the context of english language teaching in Take Action: a sociolinguistic study
Based on the studies of Educational Sociolinguistics, more specifically with regard to communicative practices as a social phenomenon, this article aims to analyze whether and how idiomatic expressions (IEs) were used in Take Action (Ritcher; Larré, 2020), a textbook approved by the PNLD 2019. The textbook analyzed was chosen on the basis of its use in schools offering secondary education, which are part of the Supervised Curricular Internship in Languages course at the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Jardim Unit. This study is divided into three main parts: “Theoretical Framework: Educational Sociolinguistics”, “English idioms in teaching materials: the importance of understanding them and using them in different contexts” and, finally, “Methodological aspects: focus on Take Action”. We used Bortoni-Ricardo (2005), Labov ([1972] 2008), Gobber and Morani (2010), Muniz et al (2017), Teer and Bevilacqua (2018), Albuquerque and Ferreira (2019) and others as a theoretical framework. In the course of the analysis, based on the readings made, we consider that the work has a well-organized structure and is based on what the BNCC requests, that is, an English language treated as a lingua franca and a student who becomes critical and increasingly autonomous in their learning. However, as far as idioms are concerned, only one chapter of the book deals with this content explicitly, leaving it up to the teacher to present websites, books and various other sources of research, so that the student can seek out this knowledge on their own.
Educação Financeira: uma análise com acadêmicos de um curso de administração
This study aims to examine the relationship between the level of financial education and the financial behavior of students in the Administration course at the State University of Western Paraná, Campus Marechal Cândido Rondon. The methodology employed in this research is descriptive, utilizing a survey approach with a quantitative method. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire containing multiple-choice questions. The study revealed a statistically significant relationship between personal income and financial knowledge. It was also noted that students place importance on aspects like personal financial management, budgeting, saving, investing, and retirement planning. A correlation was identified between the level of financial education and the perceived importance of car loans and retirement planning. Furthermore, respondents generally believe they possess a good understanding of financial concepts required for managing personal finances and demonstrate a rational approach when making financial decisions. They tend to make financial choices, such as financing, loans, and investments, only after acquiring all necessary information. Additionally, a correlation was established between students' level of financial education and the presence of savings and various types of financial investments.
A importância do estágio supervisionado em Secretariado Executivo para a formação de profissionais
Internship is understood as the practice period that precedes certain professions, that is, the period in which students can apply in practice the theories studied in the classroom up to that point, fostering the development of skills to fully exercise their profession. Based on these theoretical assumptions, the study aims to identify and analyze the role of supervised internships in the training of students in the Executive Trilingual Secretariat course at Unioeste. As a temporal cut, the analysis focused on the period between 2019 and 2022, during which a new Pedagogical Project was implemented in the course, changing the configuration of the supervised internship. Methodologically, the study is characterized as exploratory and descriptive, being developed through observations, records, analysis, and the application of a questionnaire directed at interns who carried out activities during the defined period. The results revealed a significant improvement in the interns' skills, especially regarding communication, organizational understanding, and managerial development. Likewise, the research results showed that supervised internships are essential for the development and preparation of interns for the labor market, promoting the development of essential skills and both personal and professional growth. It was also identified that most students carry out their internships in the service sector and in the areas of management/administration and secretarial work, highlighting gaps concerning internships in the communication field, which is little sought after by students.

Foreign Language Training and São Judas University. Methods: The methodology used has a quali-quantitative character, of an applied nature, with explanatory objectives, with bibliographic content, of non-participatory observation. The instrument used was Google Forms, together with the data analysis strategy. Results: The results obtained in this research emphasize that it is necessary to make adaptations in the workload in the English language subjects of the Secretariat course, as well as to establish greater communicative interaction within the classroom in the foreign language. Conclusions: It was also concluded that the application of differentiated teaching-learning tools contributes to a greater scope of the fluency of the English language, in the secretarial branch.
Estratégias tecnológicas de marketing digital como medidas de enfrentamento às dificuldades da pandemia do Covid19
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone, with evidence of health and health issues that have an impact on society and business. Although the internet is a known operating channel, some companies are not yet inserted in this market and, given the restrictive measures, have been deeply impacted. This article aims to study and propose digital marketing strategies combined with the use of technological tools as measures to combat the pandemic, with emphasis on the positioning of companies in e-commerce.

Satisfaction with academic training and the labor market
This study aims to evaluate the aspects that make up the construct 'satisfaction with the course', from the perspective of graduates of the Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration at a federal university in the state of Minas Gerais. This construct is basically formed by variables related to course management and employability in the labor market. For data collection, the application of questionnaires was used, and the sample consisted of 59 respondents out of a total of 297 graduates. As for the methodological approach, the research is characterized as descriptive with a quantitative approach and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis and multiple linear regression. The results revealed that the graduates participating in the research evaluate the Course as satisfactory, but their satisfaction with the expectation they had when entering the University is predominantly determined by dimensions related to employability, such as satisfaction with the changes in life caused by work after graduation, the skills developed and the opportunity to work. Regarding the implications of the study, it is suggested that the management of the courses pay more attention to the employability of graduates through strategies that enhance market opportunities, such as partnerships, local economic development projects, among others.

Insights for an integrated model of sustainable competitive advantage
Os modelos VRIS (Barney, 1991) e Pedras Angulares (Peteraf, 1993) são bases importantes para compreender, por meio da RBV “pura”, as condições para que as empresas desenvolvam vantagem competitiva sustentável. Este artigo teórico possui o objetivo de discutir, teoricamente, insights para uma futura unificação dos modelos, não esgotando discussões ou limitando novas contribuições. Com isso, seis pontos teóricos dos modelos foram pontuados, identificando pontos comuns (heterogeneidade, modelo estratégico, nível de análise de recursos, aplicação dos modelos e análise econômica) e divergente (mecanismos de imitabilidade). O esforço maior foi argumentar, teoricamente, a fim de aproximar o ponto divergente e estabelecer uma visão para um modelo próspero de integração, com possibilidades de aplicação empírica. Como resultado da discussão teórica, observa possibilidades emergentes futuras para combinar elementos para um modelo de vantagem competitiva sustentável.
