The emergence of the concept of sustainable development and social and environmental responsibility in organizations has evolved over time, from a view focused on the economic and legal aspects to a new stance of organizations that includes responsibility in labor relations or the social aspect. In this context of change, both private and public organizations have made efforts to contemplate labor relations in their daily practices and in the decisionmaking process. Public institutions, and within them, Higher Education Institutions (HEI),play a fundamental role in this aspect as a driving force in changing proactive behaviors in relation to their collaborators, in addition to having a training role externally, citizens or future entrepreneurs who have a more humane background and are committed to the quality of life in the work place. In this sense, this study aims to investigate the social responsibility practices contemplated in the management of the Serra Talhada Academic Unit of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UAST/UFRPE), from management and operational practices related to labor relations, besides knowing the perception of the servers about suchpractices. The research adopted a qualitative and quantitative approach and is configured forbeing applied and descriptive in nature. For data collection, questionnaires were used. As a result, it was possible to highlight the concern with the issue of labor relations by the institution since it is formally inserted in it’s management, even if in an embryonic way. However, the perception of the staff differs as to the institutional position regarding socialissues, especially regarding labor relations, suggesting the need for better dissemination of existing actions in UAST.

Higher Education Public Institutions can be understood as major consumers of goods and services, in the case of Brazil. To lessen the negative impacts of their activities, these entities have a primary role in the dissemination and implementation of sustainable ideas in their administrative routines. Thus, this study investigated the main difficulties faced by public actors in adopting sustainable practices in their administrative routines. The case study methodology was used as methodological strategy, and the research was classified as descriptive, applied in nature and of qualitative approach. The unit of analysis chosen was the Garanhuns Academic Unit of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UAG/UFRPE).For data collection, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 servants representatives of strategic sectors of UAG/UFRPE. The data collected through the interviews were analyzed using content analysis. The results showed that the main difficulties in adopting sustainable practices in the workplace were administrative, budgetary and cultural, with the most critical obstacles being the lack of knowledge and training factors on sustainable actions and the scarcity of effective institutional policies. From these results, it is concluded that it is necessary to overcome these difficulties to implement effective sustainable management in the Unit.

A Robótica Educacional e a utilização de drones na educação têm se tornado cada vez mais populares nos últimos anos. Isto se deve, principalmente, às possibilidades que estas ferramentas possuem, quando utilizadas em harmonia, uma maior capacidade de envolvimento dos alunos para o entendimento de disciplinas como a matemática e a física. Dessa forma, percebe-se que a robótica educacional e o uso dos drones na educação podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento potencial, científico e tecnológico dos alunos. Este estudo objetivou realizar um mapeamento sistemático da literatura existente em língua portuguesa publicadas nos últimos cinco anos (2018-2022) sobre a temática: Robótica Educacional e utilização de drones na Educação. Esta pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e caráter descritivo utilizou como procedimento técnico um mapeamento sistemático de literatura. É uma pesquisa de caráter secundário que visou identificar e selecionar as publicações sobre Robótica Educacional e Utilização de Drones na Educação. O estudo consultou duas plataformas digitais de grande importância para a comunidade acadêmica, a Biblioteca Nacional Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) e o Portal de Periódicos da Capes. A pesquisa compreendeu o período de 2018 a 2022, procurando identificar as produções existentes nessas plataformas, bem como identificar possíveis lacunas existentes sobre a temática pesquisada. Definidas e aplicadas as estratégias de busca, inicialmente foram encontrados 20 documentos entre artigos, dissertações e teses, dos quais 5 foram selecionados por sua pertinência direta com as questões de pesquisas aqui trabalhadas.

This article seeks to analyze the importance of socio-environmental actions as tools for structuring sustainability management in the public sphere, with a view to fulfilling corporate responsibility, based on the Ecos Committee from Pernambuco-Brazil. To carry out this study, a bibliographical and documental research was carried out, where scientific articles, resolutions and other bases of formal documents were raised for a wider understanding of the theme in focus. Then,we conducted a survey of the actions put into practice by the Ecos Committee between 2015 and 2017. Confronting their planning with this survey, it was possible to analyze its strategic alignment, confronting theory and practice. The main results point to the existence of feasible public initiatives that endorse sustainability ramifications denoting potential for replication in other organizations, since the Ecos Committee from Pernambuco appears to fulfill its role.Further research initiatives are also presented.
