Arlindo Lopes Correa
Education must be given the financial resources needed for expansion and be made
more productive by the economic use of human resources. Technology can help to
solve the problems of growth. The situation in Brazil has been greatly improved
as a result of a comprehensive ten-year plan and the application of educational
technology, but much still needs to be done.

Emily F. Henderson

Jussi Välimaa
The aim of this article is to develop a cultural approach in higher education
studies. It will be argued that the cultural approach is rooted mainly in two

cultural entities: studies of disciplinary cultures and institutional cultures.
Notions of disciplines as cultural entities have been developed in Europe in
