Davidson, Janet Morton. "'Dumping grounds' or a meaningful educational experience? : the involvement of Scotland's colleges in the education of disengaged young people." Thesis, University of Stirling, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/1893/360.
Full textAbstract:
The research examines the discourses surrounding disengaged young people, particularly those under the age of 16, and the role of Scotland’s Colleges in making provision for them. Consideration is given to the voices of the young people themselves: how their college experiences compare to school and how they view themselves over this transition period. Consideration is also given to the policy in this area and how it has developed since the Beattie watershed of 1999. The debate surrounding the involvement of colleges in the provision of education for this group of young people touches on issues of social justice and the construction of children and young people, as well as throwing up questions about the roles and identity of Scotland’s schools and colleges. Among the questions it raises about colleges, it raises issues of pedagogy and of the professional status of its teaching staff and offers recommendations about the lessons each sector might learn from the other . Ultimately, it proposes that Scotland’s Colleges are uniquely placed to seek ascendancy in the post-school sector, welcoming and developing the role that they now play in the transition of young people to adulthood.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is centred on the work of Portuguese writer José Régio (1901-1969). He was a teacher-writer and, arguably, the most philosophical of Portuguese school novel authors.
In his novel ‘A Drop of Blood’ (1945), Régio shows interest in the formation of the artist as the special object of education – the ‘marked man’ –, whose sensitivity distances him irremediably from the crowd. He adopted the radical individualism of Nietzsche not in order to be ‘for’ or ‘against’ this or that schooling model but to exemplify the perpetual clash, inherent in mankind, between the individual and the group, the artist and the non-artistic person, the young and the adult, the son and the father and the self and the world.

Full textAbstract:
<p> This study titled <i>When the spaces dominate A study of the school as disciplinary rooms </i>is a study where the emphasis is on quality and where the results are based on observations. The purpose of the research was to analyse rooms and other artefacts in the school as seen from Foucault’s analysis of power. He emphasised that power is expressed in human relationships. To understand how that power is used one can study the techniques adopted and resistance offered. We have studied two types of schools, firstly schools with n open architecture and secondly schools with a more confined architecture. In those schools, where there is an open architecture, there is a less visible disciplinary control than in those schools where the architecture is more confined. By rendering the techniques of power invisible you obtain a feeling of freedom while the disciplinary responsibility lies with he individual. That how looks and open and freely are in fact more controlled than the visible control.</p><br><p>Denna studie med titeln <i>När rummen råder En studie om skolan som disciplinerande rum</i> är en kvalitativ inriktad studie där observationer har legat till grund för resultatet. Syftet med undersökningen var analysera skolans rum och dess artefakterutifrån Foucaults maktanalytik. Han betonade att makt uttrycks i relationer mellan människor. För att förstå hur makten utövas kan man studera de tekniker som används och det motstånd som bjuds. Vi har studerat två typer av skolor, dels skolor med öppen arkitektur dels skolor med en mer sluten arkitektur. I de skolor som har en öppen arkitektur råder en mer osynlig disciplinerande kontroll än i de skolor som har en mer sluten arkitektur. Genom att göra maktteknikerna osynliga erhålls en frihetskänsla samtidigt som ansvaret för disciplineringen läggs på individerna, man bygger in disciplineringen i individerna. Det till synes öppna och fria innebär i själva verket mer kontroll än den synliga kontrollen. </p>

Full textAbstract:
This is a thesis presented on the position of the distance education student at a distance education university in the present era. Traditionally, the distance education student has been a sort of Cinderella: marginalised, being constructed as some form of lesser version of the on campus one. A largely invisible part of the higher education system in Australia since 1911, the distance education student has really only come to be foregrounded in university education discourses from 1983 onwards. It was not until then that the distance education student emerged from hidden pools identified by Karmel (1975), and since then the construction of this student has undergone a number of modifications, mapped in this thesis. At the same time university education itself has undergone a series of modifications, not least of which has been its taking on mercantilist overtones as investments made by students in their own careers and professional development. The modifications, also mapped in this thesis, have progressed to the stage where the construction of the old distance education student is now one of a flexible learner in a mercantilist system of university education. The notion of distance education and the distance education student has undergone significant shifts, redefinitions and constructions, which are tracked in this thesis. My research has focussed on a number of pertinent questions, based on a study of Deakin University and its practice since its establishment.
The thesis draws on a number of works which have been informed by those of Foucault, and I have framed my research questions accordingly. I have asked why and how Deakin University came into being as a distance education provider at tertiary level. What were the conditions of its establishment and progression in relation to the political events, economic practices and communication technology in use over time?
To consider such questions, I needed to analyse the changes that I had seen occurring in the context of wider restructurings in university education. These had occurred in the context of government forging a closer interconnectedness between education and national economic aims and objectives at the same time as it demanded greater productivity in the face of commercial and industrial sector pushes for applied knowledge.
Poststructuralist philosophical developments offer tools to explore not only questions of power, but the practical outcomes of questions of power, and how the complicity of individuals is established. This thesis explores ways in which such considerations helped to shape the changing constructions of the distance education student from a marginalised, disadvantaged and under-represented participant in higher education to a privileged, well catered for and advantaged learner. These same considerations are used to explore ways in which they have helped to shape university distance education courses from a perceived second-rate form of higher education to a prototype that better captures the essential elements of learning for what has been styled in a postmodern world as the Information Age. Overlaid on these considerations is a changing view of the economics of such provision of higher education.
It is anticipated that this thesis will contribute to developing new understandings of the construction of subjectivities in relation to the distance education university student specifically, and to the university student generally, in the postmodern world. The implications of this examination are not inconsiderable for students and academics in a self-styled Information Society.

Esta dissertação é fruto de uma pesquisa realizada com o objetivo de examinar enunciados produzidos por professoras dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental sobre uma escola bilíngue para alunos surdos e o ensino de matemática. Os aportes teóricos que sustentam a investigação são as teorizações de Michel Foucault e Ludwig Wittgenstein, principalmente aqueles presentes em na obra Investigações Filosóficas. Além disso, foram utilizados conceitos do campo dos Estudos Surdos, conforme descrito por Carlos Skliar, Maura Corcini Lopes e Adriana Thoma. O material de pesquisa examinado consiste em: narrativas de quatro professoras dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental da escola investigada, geradas em entrevistas, documentos oficiais e Registros de Chamada da instituição. A estratégia analítica utilizada para examinar esse material orientou-se pela análise do discurso, na perspectiva de Michel Foucault. O exercício analítico realizado a partir do uso das ferramentas teóricas selecionadas mostrou que a escola de ouvintes e a escola de surdos têm fortes semelhanças de família, responsáveis pela disciplinarização dos corpos e dos saberes e condução das condutas dos alunos. Também foi possível identificar que tanto a escola de surdos como a de ouvintes se ocupam da produção de sujeitos disciplinados, normalizados a partir de um modelo a ser seguido, contudo, no caso dessa primeira, com um referencial de normalidade pautado em saberes provenientes da comunidade surda. Na disciplina de Matemática, especificamente, foi identificado que as semelhanças de família entre o ensino de surdos e ouvintes é ainda mais forte, visto que este campo de conhecimento, segundo os dados empíricos, pode ser trabalhado visualmente. Percebeu-se que a imperatividade do uso dos materiais concretos nas aulas de Matemática também está presente, porém com uma outra justificativa: a de que o aluno surdo é um sujeito visual. Assim, pode-se pensar que os jogos de linguagem que constituem a Matemática Escolar seguem predominantes, mesmo nas escolas de surdos, com sua gramática pautada por formalismo, ordem e assepsia.<br>This dissertation is the result of a research carried out with the objective of examining statements made by elementary school teachers about a bilingual school for deaf students and the teaching of mathematics. The theoretical contributions that support the investigation are the theories of Michel Foucault and Ludwig Wittgenstein, mainly those present in the work Philosophical Investigations. In addition, concepts from the field of Deaf Studies were used, as described by Carlos Skliar, Maura Corcini Lopes and Adriana Thoma. The research material examined consists of: narratives of four Elementary School teachers of the school investigated, generated in interviews, official documents and some observation records from the institution. The analytical strategy used to examine this material was guided by discourse analysis, from Michel Foucault's perspective. The analytical exercise based on the use of the selected theoretical tools showed that the school of hearers and the school of the deaf have strong family resemblances, responsible for disciplining the bodies and the knowledge and conducting the students' behaviors. It was also possible to identify that both the school of deaf and the hearers are concerned with the production of disciplined subjects, normalized from a model to be followed, however, in the case of this first, with a referential of normality based on knowledge from the deaf community. In the discipline of Mathematics, specifically, it was identified that the family similarities between the teaching of deaf and hearers are even stronger, since this field of knowledge, according to the empirical data, can be worked visually. It was noticed that the imperative use of concrete materials in Mathematics classes is also present, but with another justification: that the deaf student is a visual subject. Thus, one may think that the language games that make up School Mathematics remain predominant, even in schools of the deaf, with its grammar marked by formalism, order and asepsis.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the history of physical education in the United States, as well as a general look into how public schooling affects how kids learn about and come to view their bodies. Theory and research by Michel Foucault, Elias Norbert, and Katy Bowman form the theoretical framework for this essay, and accounts of visits to a local elementary school to observe PE also grounds the work in present-day experiences. The work concludes that public schools in the US improperly teach students about how to listen to and care for their bodies.

Full textAbstract:
A partir da alegação de uma crise educacional generalizada operando na atualidade, a presente investigação devota-se a explorar a conjectura de um expansionismo sem precedentes das práticas educativas no campo social, movimento este consubstanciado na crescente conversão das relações entre os homens em instâncias passíveis de conhecimento e intervenção pedagógicos. Com o fito de perspectivar esse horizonte argumentativo, o corpus do trabalho foi constituído por 930 artigos que evocaram temáticas educacionais extraescolares em 34 periódicos acadêmicos nacionais de destaque, considerados em um intervalo temporal que se estendeu de 1944 a 2015. Tal produção discursiva foi analisada de acordo com um duplo viés teórico-metodológico inspirado no pensamento de Michel Foucault. De um lado, ao perscrutar os textos publicados no período compreendido entre 1996 e 2015, a investigação visou dimensionar os movimentos fronteiriços do campo pedagógico contemporâneo por meio da composição de um inventário das práticas e dos saberes voltados a experiências não escolares, estas consideradas na ampla escala que o arquivo constituído possibilitou traçar. De outro lado, a partir de uma abordagem específica da Revista Brasileira de Estudos Pedagógicos, a qual abrangeu todos os fascículos publicados até 2015 desde sua fundação, em 1944, tratou-se de circunscrever os contextos de emergência/proveniência atinentes a tal espraiamento dos domínios educacionais. Como saldo analítico da investigação, desponta uma perspectiva adversativa às discussões atuais concernentes a processos reconhecidos como educacionalização, pedagogização e escolarização sociais, sobretudo em virtude da intensa permeabilidade das práticas escolares às múltiplas demandas do presente. Daí a assunção de que os processos de subjetivação contemporâneos redundariam em uma acentuada educabilização da experiência civil, esta consoante a determinados jogos de veridicção calcados em uma demarcada matriz pedagógico-escolarizante.<br>Considering the allegation of a widespread educational crisis taking place in the present, this investigation is dedicated to exploring the assumption of an unparalleled expansionism of educative practices in the social field, a process which is characterized by an increasing conversion of the relationship between individuals into objects susceptible to pedagogical knowledge and intervention. With the aim of inspecting this argumentative horizon, 930 papers evoking educational out-of-school themes formed the research corpus, all of them published in 34 national academic journals through the period 1944-2015. This discursive production was analyzed according to a double theoretical-methodological approach inspired in Michel Foucaults thought. On the one hand, by examining the texts published between 1996 and 2015, the investigation attempted to dimension the borderline movements in the contemporary pedagogical field by means of an inventory of practice and knowledge focused on out-of-school experiences, the latter considered within the wide scale the archive thus built enabled to outline. On the other hand, in accordance with a specific approach of the Brazilian journal Revista Brasileira de Estudos Pedagógicos, which comprised all the issues published from its foundation, in 1944, to 2015, the intention was to circumscribe the contexts of emergence/provenance regarding the enlargement of educational realms. As an analytic outcome of the investigation, what is offered is an adversative perspective before the current discussions on processes identified as social educationalization, pedagogization and scholarization, mostly by virtue of an intense permeability of school practices to current demands. Thus, the assumption that contemporary subjectification processes would promote a marked educabilitization of the civil experience, the latter in congruence with certain veridiction games based on a strong pedagogical-schooling emphasis.

Na presente dissertação, efetuamos uma reflexão sobre textos jornalísticos dedicados ao tema da educação escolar. O objetivo do trabalho foi problematizar as racionalidades e práticas ali constituídas, as quais compõem materialidades que concebem e levam a cabo um projeto político específico para a sociedade contemporânea. Para tanto, analisamos as matérias veiculadas sobre educação escolar no jornal Folha de São Paulo entre 1996 e 2006, tomando como referência o campo teórico dos estudos pós-estruturalistas e, em especial, o legado analítico de Michel Foucault. Consideramos que, por meio dos textos jornalísticos, são produzidos enunciados que sustentam um discurso afiliado às perspectivas econômicas, políticas, sociais e culturais predominantes. Assim, nosso estudo pretendeu apontar as relações de poder que ali se processam, analisando-as como práticas cotidianas e capilares que são incorporadas por esse discurso; compreendemos tais práticas sem qualquer conotação repressora ou autoritária, mas como fomentadoras de políticas de verdade que circulam em espaços públicos, interagindo produtivamente com seus leitores e reverberando na instituição escolar. Ao tomar como objeto de pesquisa o discurso jornalístico sobre a educação, nosso trabalho centrou-se na investigação do modo como as matérias jornalísticas operam via produção, articulação e circulação das relações de saber-poder na contemporaneidade pedagógica. O rol de textos selecionados e examinados perfaz uma teia discursiva que, por um lado, justifica e atualiza a importância da educação escolar e, por outro, intervém nas supostas dificuldades enfrentadas pela escola para continuar operando nos tempos e espaços em que tradicionalmente tem operado. Quando abordam a educação, os textos jornalísticos não estão veiculando apenas informações, opiniões e comentários sobre ela, mas compõem enunciados que problematizam e prescrevem formas de fazer, de aprender, de ensinar e, sobretudo, de ser e de compreender o mundo, arregimentando assim uma eficaz maquinaria de governamentalização pedagógica.<br>This dissertation focuses on journalistic texts which address the issue of school education. Its reflection aimed at problematizing the rationalities and practices built therein, which make up materialities that conceive and unfold a specific political project for the contemporary society. For that purpose, articles on school education published in the newspaper Folha de São Paulo between 1996 and 2006 were analyzed, based on the theoretical field of the poststructuralist studies, with special emphasis on the legacy of Michel Foucault. It is assumed that, through journalistic texts, enouncements are produced that maintain a discourse associated with the predominant economic, political, social and cultural perspectives. Thus, this study looked to point out the power relations which take place therein, analyzing them as everyday and capillary practices which are incorporated by this discourse. Such practices are seen without any repressive or authoritarian connotation, but rather as a means to foster truth policies which circulate in public spaces, interacting productively with their readers and reverberating in the school institution. By having the journalistic discourse on education as its object, this study focused on the investigation of the manner in which journalistic articles operate via production, articulation and circulation of knowledge-power relations in contemporary education. The array of texts selected and examined makes up a discursive web which, on the one hand, justifies and updates the importance of school education, and, on the other hand, intervenes in the alleged difficulties faced by school to continue operating in the spaces and times where it has traditionally operated. When they approach education, journalistic texts are not conveying only information, opinions and comments about it, but are composing enouncements that problematize and prescribe ways of acting, learning, teaching and, above all, being and understanding the world, thus assembling an effective machinery of pedagogical governmentalization.

Full textAbstract:
This essay consists of a heuristic analysis of referents in the Swedish educational act, leaning on the methodological guidelines of discourse analysis. The overall aim of the essay has been to analyse in what way language in the educational act works as guidelines and law in relation to teachers’ work. To correspond to this aim an openly structured questionnaire has been used, providing an empirical view of how teachers understand certain words, or referents, in the educational act. This empirical data has then been shaped to a spectrum view of the definitions of the referents showing a number of deductable facts, including the significance of the apparent use of institutional and professional language, which then have been viewed from two theoretical perspectives. The theories are a structuralist one represented by Ferdinand de Saussure and Claude Lévi-Strauss, and a sociolinguistic one represented by Michel Foucault and Norman Fairclough. The theoretical analysis is based on three stages of the constitution of meaning in the communication between the educational act and the interpreting teachers. Four questions has guided the analyses and reads as follows: Which referents are used in the educational act to describe the purpose and forming of the education for the students?; How are said referents interpreted by active teachers?; Which are the gains of the understandings provided by the theoretical perspectives of the analysis of referents in relation to the empirical enquiry?; How are the referents to be understood functioning as imperative law regarding the teacher and its practice? The main conclusion of the essay is that depending on our theoretical understanding of language, the function of the Swedish educational act as imperative law with a clear relationship between vision and reality is questionable. Therefor it is important to acknowledge the need for guidelines in teachers’ interpretation of the law, better ensuring consensus in how central values of the school corresponds in practice.

Full textAbstract:
Nesse trabalho, o tema do fracasso escolar sofre uma abordagem foucaultiana. Ele é analisado a partir dos efeitos de poder que produz. O referencial teórico impõe à pesquisa a busca por enunciados proferidos por personagens sociais capazes de conduzir condutas de outrem. O corpo documental coletado refere-se a laudos de avaliações aplicadas por clínicas de atendimento psicopedagógico de viés notadamente psiquiátrico. Sobre essa base empírica, especula-se que as similitudes entre os diversos relatórios insinuam a instalação de um regime de verdade em torno de um sujeito, qual seja: o aluno transtornado. Destrinchando a lógica discursiva dessas avaliações diagnósticas, a dissertação sugere que o escolar deficitário produzido por essas testagens é uma recorrência do pregresso aluno-problema constituído pelas narrativas de Artur Ramos na década de trinta do século XX. Supõe-se que as aproximações entre o transtornado dos laudos e o problemático de Artur Ramos apontam para técnicas de governo aplicadas com fito a disciplinar educandos. Decorre dessa suposição a análise a respeito do mecanismo pelo qual opera a dita governamentalidade. Nesse percurso, aventa-se que ela instiga a práticas de auto-governo. Tais ações são escavadas em textos historiográficos dedicados a estudar a conexão entre as medidas estatais dirigidas à população e as intervenções públicas voltadas aos corpos dos indivíduos. A hipótese desse trabalho alega que os saberes psi tiveram suma importância para viabilizar a efetiva transferência dos ideais de normalidade chancelados pelo Estado nos comportamentos dos indivíduos. Considera-se, atualmente, que tais saberes tornaram-se fundamentais, pois permitem a sondagem da alma e, por conseguinte, a condução das interioridades com base na norma aferida nos exames aplicados pelos biotécnicos. Nesse grupo social detecta-se, com base nas pesquisas de Lucien Sfez sobre a biotecnologia na contemporaneidade, a imersão de muitos de seus agentes em uma nova utopia definida pelo autor como uma Utopia da Saúde Perfeita. Nela comparecem definições que apontam para a formação de bioidentidades. Estas operariam no sentido de atrelar cada qual a seu corpo. Assim fazendo, tais verdades produzidas no ambiente laboratorial viabilizariam a redução da vida a um fato biológico. A pesquisa que aqui se sintetiza visa, por fim, atrelar os saberes performativos do aluno-problema às estratégias da biopolítica. Assim, imagina-se a escola como espaço privilegiado para a disseminação de agentes biopolíticos, ou seja, atores competentes para aplicar técnicas de governo sobre todo o alunado por meio da promoção da livre busca pelas interioridades auto-governáveis.<br>In this work, the subject of school failure follows a Foucaultian approach. The school failure is analyzed from the power effects that it produces. The theoretical referential imposes the search for statements pronounced by social personages capable of driving the behavior of others. The documental corpus so gathered refers to the evaluation reports applied by psychopedagogic treatment clinics with a noticeable psychiatric bias. From this empirical basis, it is supposed that the similarities between the various reports suggest the setting of a system of truth around the individual, that is, the upset pupil. By explaining the discursive logic of these diagnostic evaluations, this essay suggests that the deficitary student coming up from these tests is, in fact, the return of the former problem pupil constituted by the narratives of Arthur Ramos in the thirties of the twentieth century. It is assumed that the approaches between the upset individual from the reports and the disturbed one of Arthur Ramos point out to the government techniques that were applied in order to correct pupils. Such a hypothesis leads to the analysis concerning the mechanism by which the so-called governamentability operates. Hence, it is supposed that it brings about auto-government practices. Such actions were investigated from historiographic texts committed to the study on the connection between the state procedures intended for the population and the public interventions intended for the bodies of the individuals. The hypothesis of this work asserts that the \"psy\"\' knowledges have had a great relevance in making possible the effective transference of the ideals of normality for the individuals behaviors, which was approved by the State. Presently, this kind of knowledge is considered essential, because it allows the assessment of the soul, therefore, the control of the interiorities on the basis of the standard estimated in the exams applied by the biotechnicians. In this social group, it was verified, based on the research by Lucien Sfez on biotechnology in the contemporaneity, the immersion of many of its agents in a new utopia, defined by the author as the Utopia of the Perfect Health. It brings definitions that point out to the development of bioidentities. These ones would operate in order to link each one to his/her own body. Thus, such truths, produced in the lab environment, would make possible to reduce life to a biological fact. Finally, the research, here summarize aims at linking performative knowledges of problem pupil to the strategies of the biopolitics. Therefore, school is seen as privileged place to propagate biopolitical agents, that is, competent actors capable of applying government techniques to the whole group of students, by means of promoting the free search for auto-governed interiorities.

A presente pesquisa buscou dar visibilidade às relações de poder na atualidade educacional, lançando luz aos nexos saber-poder-verdade aí em fluxo. Tomou as práticas de administração escolar, enunciados do presente que são, como mirante para observar o poder em funcionamento. O conceito de governamentalidade foi operante no desenvolvimento deste estudo, o qual está referenciado no conjunto do pensamento de Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Nikolas Rose, Peter Pál Pelbart, Jorge Ramos do Ó, Alfredo Veiga-Neto, dentre outros. A análise se pautou em enunciados extraídos de algumas publicações sobre administração escolar, bem como de discursos de diretores de escolas municipais da capital paulista, a qual buscou investigar os regimes de verdade inscritos nessas práticas. Por meio de cinco imagens tomadas como portais analíticos, investigaram-se os sistemas de conhecimento e de raciocínio que orientam a condução da conduta nas escolas neste início de século. No primeiro portal, Entrevidas, tencionou-se dar a ver as atualizações do poder pastoral e a inserção do saber psi nas práticas administrativas responsáveis por fazerem circular um vocabulário próprio à racionalidade vigente: liderança, persuasão, motivação. No portal, O Grito, destacou-se a vigência da ética da liberdade que remonta ao projeto da Ilustração e aos reformadores liberais, percutindo nos dias atuais formas de governo que, cada vez mais, incitam os indivíduos a se voluntariarem às técnicas do poder. No terceiro portal, A persistência da Memória, explorou-se o regime de tempo que tem vigorado na atualidade, qual seja, linear, progressivo, finalista, e que tem desdobrado práticas bastante disseminadas no campo educacional. Em Integralidade, o quarto portal, retomou-se a questão do Liberalismo como modus operandi distendendo, dessa abordagem, o discurso da democracia. E, na imagem As Armas do Cavaleiro Solitário, procurou-se desdobrar o papel dos experts que anunciam o que, talvez, constitua o novo mote do poder pastoral na sociedade contemporânea: o empreendedorismo. Por fim, ao perscrutar a ética da liberdade nas formações discursivas analisadas, a qual tem orientado a racionalidade educacional em voga, o estudo investigou a topografia moral que esses discursos moldam, a política de responsabilização a ela inerente e a forma pela qual tais discursos, num caráter incitatório do poder, arregimentam os indivíduos (cada um e todos) em empreitadas civilizatórias por meio de tecnologias específicas de governo, tais como: projeto pedagógico, formação continuada, pedagogia de projetos, gestão democrática, dentre outras práticas cujo fim último é a produção de individualidades autogeridas.<br>This study aims to give visibility to the associations of power in modern-day education, and to shed light on the knowledge-power-truth nexus that flows through it. It takes practices of school administration, as they are presently asseverated and which act like a lookout from which to observe the working of power. The concept of governmentality was operative in the development of this study, which has references to the academic works of Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Nikolas Rose, Peter Pál Pelbart, Jorge Ramos do Ó and Alfredo Veiga-Neto, among others. The analysis is based on statements extracted from publications on school administration, as well as speeches delivered by the principals of county schools located in the capital city of the state of São Paulo. It aims to investigate the regimes of truth extolled by these practices. The systems of knowledge and reasoning that have guided the direction of conduct in schools since the beginning of the century were investigated with the aid of five images, considered here to be analytical portals. In the first portal, Between lives, the intention was to demonstrate the actualization of pastoral power and the insertion of Psi knowledge into administrative practices which have been responsible for the adoption of a suitable vocabulary for the current reasoning: leadership, persuasion, motivation. In the portal The Scream, the validity of the freedom ethic that harks back to the illustrative project and the liberal reformers, which still resounds in modern times and makes for more sophisticated forms of government that, more and more, stimulates individuals to volunteer for the techniques of power. In the third portal, The Persistence of Memory, the time regime that is currently in force was explored. It is linear, progressive, finalist and has led to fairly widespread practices in the educational field. In Integrity, the fourth image, the issue of liberalism as a modus operandi was revisited, in this approach, expanding on the dissertation of democracy. And, in the portal The Lone Horsemans Weapons, an attempt was made to execute the role of the experts who announced what may have constituted the new mottos of pastoral power in present-day society: entrepreneurialism. Finally, upon scrutinizing the ethics of freedom in the meandering tomes analyzed, which has guided the currently fashionable educational rationality, the study investigates the moral topography that these dissertations shape, the policy of responsibility inherent to it and the manner in which these dissertations, in an inspirational characteristic of power, arrange individuals (each and every one) into civilizing ventures through specific governmental technologies, such as pedagogic projects, further education, pedagogy of projects and democratic management, among others.

Full textAbstract:
England’s long history of education has witnessed many conflicts in regard to language teaching. In this thesis, I investigate the conflicts surrounding two language education reform movements, Language Awareness and Knowledge About Language, during the Conservative administration between 1979 and 1997. The investigation examines official and non-official plans and policy texts produced by various groups and actors, notably Hawkins and Cox, that detail how the teaching of ‘Language’ should be conducted in England’s state school curriculum. The focus of the research is upon identifying what LA and KAL were as pedagogical concepts; why LA was reconstituted as KAL; what the motives underpinning these various plans and policies were; and finally, why efforts to establish LA and KAL were resisted. In the effort to make sense of this history, I draw theoretically and methodologically upon the work of Foucault, Fairclough, Bernstein and Ager. Limitations of my interpretation of this history notwithstanding, my findings revealed that LA was an educational reform movement that emerged from common schooling discourses, and one that sought to improve its educational provision. While LA was originally intended to be a subject in its own right that bridged the English and Foreign Language subject areas, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate reconstituted LA and placed its responsibility firmly within the English subject area. The motives underpinning LA and KAL planning and policy are varied. Those underpinning the policies, however, are distinctly ideological in nature, drawing a strong relationship between language education and democracy. Nearly all motives pertain to what Bernstein calls a competence model of education, the modes of which are notably attuned to addressing inequality and promoting social integration. LA and KAL were reforms that were both ill understood and resented, for varying and complex reasons, by educators and the Conservatives alike. The thesis closes with directions for future research.

Full textAbstract:
<p>The aim of this essay is to analyze how students are constituted as subjects in local curricula. The theoretical perspective is grounded in Michel Foucault’s notion of governmentality and power/knowledge and his critique of a sovereign subject. From this theoretical perspective I use Foucault’s concept of formation of objects and Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s idea of subject positioning as tools for a discourse analysis. The analyzed documents are local curricula from fourteen Swedish municipalities. The documents are divided in to two equally sized groups based on the political governing in the municipality.</p><p>The analysis presents five themes by which statements that constitute students as subjects can be categorized. These five themes are; lifelong learning, desire, essential traits, students responsibility and life and health. The differences between local curricula from political right wing and political left wing governed municipalities are rather small, but there can be seen differences in the technologies of liberal governing. The subject that is constituted in local curricula is primarily a self-governing subject who governs it self in relation to a expertise knowledge.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Condom use is promoted as an effective method for prevention and contraception for people who practice or are at risk of practicing high-risk sexual behaviors. According to the UNAIDS (2009) report, condoms are the only resource available to prevent the sexual spread of the HI-Virus; and with regard to family planning, the same report proposes that condoms expand the choices, have no medical side effects, and thus provide dual protection against pregnancy and disease. However, in Africa as elsewhere in the world, condom use has been fiercely debated. The debates on the accessibility, availability and distribution of condoms in schools are not new nor are they uncontested. In Namibia, the HIV and AIDS policy in education does not explain how, when and by whom condoms should be made available to learners. This leaves it to schools to decide on how (and whether) to make condoms available to learners. As a result, individual school‘s choices not only vary, but are mediated by different factors that are not always in the best interest of learners who, as the foregoing discussion suggests, continue to participate in behaviour that, amongst other things, puts them at risk of HIV infection and falling pregnant. Relying on Foucault‘s theory of discourses, this study investigated the dominant discourses that shape learner, teacher, parent religious and traditional leader and traditional healer perspectives, responses, and experiences with regard to the accessibility, availability, and distribution of condoms in school. The study was conducted in nine schools in Kavango Region in Namibia using a mixed methods approach. The study used triangulation in the data collection process through the use of questionnaires where 792 learners participated in this component, and focus group discussions and individual interviews targeting four groups namely, learners, teachers, parents and religious leaders, traditional leaders and traditional healers. The quantitative data were analyzed using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS), and findings from the focus group discussions and individual interviews were analyzed identifying themes and patterns and then organizing them into coherent categories with sub-categories. The study revealed that the majority of adult participants opposed the idea of making condoms available in schools; advocating abstinence instead. This was despite evidence on the prevalence of sexual activity amongst youth in the community. Reasons had to do with various competing and hierarchized discourses operating to shape participant beliefs, perspectives, and responses in a highly regulated and surveilled social and cultural context. Put differently, the dominant discourses invoked a particular sexual subject; authorized and legitimated who invoked such a subject; who was and was not allowed to speak on sexual matters; as well as how sexual matters were brought into the public space of schools. Such authorization and legitimation regulated the discursive space in which discussions on sexual health, safe sex, and resources such as condoms were permitted; with negative consequences for the sexual well-being of youth in Kavango Region. The study also highlighted the tension between freedom, choice, and rights, showing how complex in fact is decision to make condoms available in school. On the one hand, teenagers positioned themselves as capable subjects who had the right to exercise choice over their sexual lives. Requesting parent consent was thus viewed as a violation of this right to choose. Such a position displayed authority and agency by learners that was pitted against views amongst adults in this study that positioned youth as having no agency. In their view, youth (a) were still children and thus innocent and pure, (b) ought to abstain, and (c) were difficult to control given the modern context. Adults believed that early sexual involvement by learners did not result from lack of vigilance and control on their part, but rather from exposure to modern social mores. The study concluded that (a) schools remain difficult spaces not only for mediating discussions of sex and sexuality, but also for providing resources to mitigate sexual risk amongst leaners, (b) in highly regulated societies, dominant religious discourses are produced and reproduced in and through existing institutions such as family, church, and schools; highlighting how these serve to normalize beliefs and perspectives, (c) the dominant discourses shaping communities in which schools find themselves remain inconsistent with school discourses that are shaped by modernist conceptions of childhood and youth, and (b) adult choices to sanction and obstruct schools from making condoms available (and in the case of teachers, not accessible and distributable) put the very children at risk that they propose to be protecting.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Despite the increased awareness and education to the public, concussions in children continue to ensue without proper concussion education and management in school systems. Whether the child suffers a concussion in school or at home, it is essential for school nurses to have proper concussion education and evidence based management strategies to further monitor post-concussive symptoms in the school setting. Concussion symptoms can affect the student up to 7-10 days following the injury. Concussions can range from mild to severe, with symptoms lasting hours, days, months or longer. Children who experience a concussion can experience academic challenges that will affect them in the classroom. Without proper concussion education for school nurses, concussed youth may experience post-concussive symptoms. School nurses have a significant role, collaborating with the parents, providers, and the student in providing accommodations and support while transitioning back into the classroom. Purpose: To assess the knowledge of Utah school nurses regarding concussion education and management of the concussed student. In addition evaluating the educational intervention, which changed the knowledge base of the participants. Methods: A one group pre-test and post-test design was used. Study materials were emailed via the Utah School Nurse Association listserv to all Utah school nurses. A concussion educational power point was provided to these nurses before having them complete the post-test. Results: The results of the paired sample t-test revealed that there was a significant difference (p= .000) in comparison of the pre-test and post-test results after viewing the concussion educational power point. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test results after viewing the concussion educational power point. Therefore it can be concluded that providing education and awareness regarding concussion and its management will increase the knowledge and ultimately may change practice which in turn may improve patient outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Education is a critical social process and is the responsibility of the society of which a child is a member. Education and Schooling promote the cognitive development and professional skills acquisition that produce economic development and positive socio-economic outcomes. In the modern world, education is strongly correlated with employability, access to food, housing, social status and associates strongly with measures of individual health and wellbeing. However, despite moderate gains in education outcomes for Inuit students, school engagement and graduation rates remain low across Inuit Nunangat in the K-12 system, and entry into post-secondary education has increasingly lagged behind that of the rest of Canadians. All the while, Inuit remain the most socio-economically disadvantaged people in Canada.
At the root of this education gap is the collision of two cultures and world views. In the last sixty-five years (roughly just two generations), Inuit non-monetary social and economic systems, as well as teaching methods, have been eroded and replaced by dominant Western pedagogical and economic practices. This has caused tension between Inuit and Western pedagogy and provoked re-examination of what gets taught in the dominant Western education system in order to prepare Inuit students to participate in Canadian society.
This study narrates the experiences of six Inuit students' education journeys and explores how they navigated cultural tensions to successfully reach and complete their post-secondary education. Findings indicate that the presence of Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (Inuit epistemology), or rather its prescriptive Guiding Principles (the branch of Inuit social epistemology) when practiced, supported their success. Further, the lack of these Principles, evident in microaggressions from educators, segregation, racism, suicides, and lateral violence from peers all served as barriers to their educational goals of being able to participate bi-culturally in both the Inuit and Western ways of living.

Full textAbstract:
<p> The transition to adulthood for students with learning disabilities is not a single life event; rather it is a series of smaller steps that lead students to become independent adults. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) 2004 and its regulations required states to deliver transition services as well as follow-up with students who had an Individual Education Plan (IEP) within one year of graduating or exiting from high school. States are required to report on student's postsecondary outcomes to the U.S. Department of Education within one year of graduating or leaving high school.</p><p> This study followed-up with former students with learning disabilities who participated in a tiered transition program that focused on career development at the Kingsbury Center in Washington, DC. The follow-up study was conducted to (a) report on former student postsecondary outcomes (e.g., education, employment, and independent living), (b) gain insight regarding levels of satisfaction, and (c) receive feedback regarding the Kingsbury Transition Program (KTP) and the Career Investigations for Transitioning Youth (C.I.T.Y.). There were 56 former students who were invited to participate in the study. A total of 16 former students was interviewed that yielded a 29% response rate. Former students were interviewed within three to five years since leaving or graduating from high school. The interview protocol consisted of questions originally developed by the National Post-School Outcomes Center. A revised interview protocol was used to interview former students after three rounds of expert review and a pilot test to achieve content validity.</p><p> The data indicated that students with learning disabilities (a) are going to college and working part-time, (b) are currently or have been employed, (c) continue to live with their parents with a few students living on or off campus, (d) are satisfied with their lives, and (e) think that the KTP/C.I.T.Y. Program helped them work toward their postsecondary goals. The student interviews did highlight some areas of concern: transition program issues, overemphasis on a college pathway, length of time to obtain postsecondary degree, disclosure, adult services, and employee benefits. Recommendations and limitations of the study were addressed to help future students transition into adult life. </p>

Full textAbstract:
Magister Artium (Development Studies) - MA(DVS)<br>This study investigated the factors that could influence Grade 12 learners from low socio-economic backgrounds and their decision-making process with regard to accessing post-school education. The aims of the study were to establish the factors that could facilitate a successful transition from high school to university study, as well as identify the factors that potentially could inhibit the learners’ transition. The objective of the study was to make recommendations, based on the findings of the research data, that could assist the different role players on how best to facilitate, guide and support high school learners’ post-school educational choices. It was proposed that knowledge of the factors that could promote or inhibit the decision-making process of learners would provide valuable insights that could be used to enable more learners to access higher education and, in so doing, increase the participation rates of African and coloured youth at higher education institutions. The student-focused Chapman college-choice model was used as the theoretical framework in order to gain insights into what the factors were that have a significant influence on the choice of learners to pursue studies beyond high school. The study was situated within an interpretative, qualitative research paradigm, using a case study design. The research site was a high school in Phillipi near Cape Town. The research participants consisted of twenty-eight Grade 12 learners who were selected by means of purposive sampling. Three Grade 12 educators also participated in the study. The research instruments included, for the learners, a demographic information sheet, a self-reflective questionnaire and three focus group interviews. Secondary data was included in the discussions. The educators had to complete a self-reflective questionnaire only. Content analysis, using a three-stage open coding process was used to analyse the qualitative data which were organised according to the study’s three sub-questions. The factors discussed in the theoretical framework were used as a guide to group the data into themes and sub-themes. The findings of this study corresponded with the literature reviewed and the factors identified in the theoretical framework, but one finding contradicted the literature, while new factors emerged from the data collected. The findings revealed that there was a greater need of support required from the different role players - family, friends, the community, educators and the school; the Departments of Basic Education and Higher Education; higher education institutions, non-governmental organisations; and companies and other institutions - to ensure that an enabling environment is created to support Grade 12 learners’ transition from high school to university studies. Based on these findings, recommendations were made on how an enabling and supportive environment for Grade 12 learners could be strengthened.

Full textAbstract:
The technology acceptance model (TAM) has been widely used to assess technology adoption in business, education, and health care. The New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) launched a web-based Individualized Educational Program (IEP) system for school psychologists to use in conducting evaluations and reviews. This quantitative study examined the relationship between school psychologists' TAM factors associated with the web-based IEP system's perceived usability and usefulness measured by a TAM Instrument with individual job performance assessed by the Job Performance Ratings Measure. A random sample of 69 NYCDOE school psychologists participated in this study, and a regression analysis addressed the research questions. The results showed no positive effects of perceived ease of use in job performance. In addition, there were no positive effects of perceived usefulness in job performance. The results of this study might benefit administrators and districts to see the need to explore additional resources. As ease of use and usefulness are vital to technology acceptance, providing resources to school psychologists are key to the overall success of the IEP process. Future research should take a qualitative approach to illuminate why and how school psychologists accept technology, especially when it involves the IEP process.

In 1970, cross-town busing was court mandated to enforce school desegregation in Richmond, Virginia. Unitary status was declared in Richmond when cross-town busing ended in 1986. Richmond Public Schools (RPS) no longer operated as a dual school system for blacks and whites after 1986. Class and racial segregation continued to exist in the City of Richmond. RPS remained predominately black and poor. Socio-economic conditions of the city continued to impact the school district. Controversies, mismanagement and low academic achievement stigmatized RPS until state and federal performance measures forced the district to improve. By 2006, RPS was still segregated; however, as a result of better leadership, academic success was demonstrated on Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to explore how post-16 education prepares young people for life beyond school. It does this by drawing on the work of Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum to develop a capability approach to education, which pays specific attention to the freedoms and achievements that young people secure through their education. The thesis argues that post-16 education is uniquely well-positioned to support capability development for individual students and that under the current policy framework this aspect of education or schooling is underappreciated. This thesis draws conclusions from an empirical study carried out at an inner-city London academy sixth-form. As part of this study, 20 students participated in a series of interviews that explored their day-to-day school experiences and their reasons for valuing particular ‘beings and doings’ related to their post-16 education. These interviews are analysed with use of Grounded Theory and evaluated with use of a capability approach framework. The discussion focuses on how each of these student narratives reveal the ways in which the post-16 setting can serve to enhance and diminish the quality of life of students: making available or withholding resources and opportunities for capability development. The discussion of the thesis presents the ideal form of post-16 education as an autonomy-building process, in which young people are encouraged to be agents in the post-16 setting. On this account, the post-16 setting acts as a site for ‘identity work’ in which multiple forms of agency are made possible in order for students to explore what kinds of life they value. A line of argument is developed that presents capability development as consisting of deep practices of agency, which are dependent upon the quality of freedom and opportunities available to them. Here, emphasis is placed on the need for schools to be highly individuating institutions, where the development of young people can take place in social-ecological niches. In this regard, there are important structural forces created by the school that condition the kinds of agency students might practice and can therefore advantage or disadvantage student capability development. Beyond this, an account of internal capabilities is offered, arguing that these furnish students with a relational view of the world: assisting them with determining where they stand in relation to their past, their community, their present commitments, their imagined future, and the things they have reason to value. A ‘good post-16 education’, therefore, is one in which individual students are able to develop their internal capabilities in an environment that recognises individuality and autonomy as fundamental to preparing young people for life beyond school.

As escolhas metodológicas, para a realização deste trabalho inserem-se na linha de pesquisa dos Estudos Culturais em Educação, em sua vertente pós-estruturalista, e valem-se dos estudos sobre governamentalidade, conforme foram tematizados por Michel Foucault e também da Análise do Discurso inspirada no referido autor. Além de Michel Foucault, destaco como trabalhos que me auxiliaram em minhas argumentações os de Iole Maria Faviero Trindade, Clarice Salete Traversini, Alfredo Veiga-Neto, Pat O’Malley, Jorge Ramos do Ó, entre outros. Foram analisadas as publicações do Ministério da Educação sobre o Ensino Fundamental de Nove Anos, bem como Atos Legais e informações pertinentes à temática. Procurei examinar como os saberes visibilizados pelos documentos legitimam propostas e práticas educacionais que objetivam o sucesso da alfabetização e da escolarização. Problematizo os discursos postos em circulação pelo Ministério da Educação, que procuram minimizar danos provenientes de repetências e evasões, ao engajaram-se em crenças que não visam somente prover uma educação de qualidade, mas constituir um controle e gerenciamento do risco social, beneficiando, assim, o desenvolvimento econômico do país, por meio da inclusão de todas as crianças de seis anos no Ensino Fundamental. Discuto que o governamento da população infantil se exerce por meio de uma regulação da ação pedagógica ao prescrever orientações sobre como trabalhar a alfabetização e o letramento em sala de aula. Essa ação de condução do trabalho docente também gera um efeito sobre o outro, a criança, o aluno que está sendo incluído no 1º ano do Ensino Fundamental e que integra uma parte da população que também é governada e controlada por meio de políticas públicas.<br>This dissertation analyses the 9-year Elementary School system as a public policy for education, considering the mandatory schooling of six-year-old-children in Elementary School as a way of governance. The methodological choices for this study are taken from the Cultural Studies for Education perspective in its post-structuralist stream and make use of studies about the governmental practices as topicalized by Michel Foucault as well as of studies about Discourse Analysis inspired by the referred author. Besides Michel Foucault, I highlight some other studies which helped me build up my claims, like those carried out by Iole Maria Faviero Trindade, Clarice Salete Traversini, Alfredo Veiga-Neto, Pat O'Malley, Jorge Ramos do O, and others. Official publications, from the Ministry of Education about the 9-year Elementary School system, as well as the Legal Acts and other information related to the practice were analyzed. I tried to examine the way knowledge made possible through the documents legitimate educational proposals and practices which aim at literacy and schooling success. I problematize discourses produced by the Ministry of Education, which minimize damage caused by school failure and breakout as they align themselves to beliefs that do not aim at providing quality education, but which instead constitute themselves as a social risk controlling and management mechanism, which benefits, thus, economical development of the country, through the inclusion of every six-year-old child in Elementary School. I discuss that the governance of children population is exercised in the regulation of the pedagogical action while prescribing orientations on how to work on literacy in the classroom. This action of conducting the teaching work also causes an effect on the other, the child, the student who is a first grader and who is part of a population who is also governed and controlled by public policies.

Full textAbstract:
<p> The purpose of this research was to develop the components of a theory for retention of young people after their high school years by examining the factors that contribute to continued spiritual vitality in Assemblies of God (AG) post-high school young adults. Data was collected from a stratified sample of ninety-five young adults in the United States during their senior year of high school in 2011 and two years later in 2013. In line with research by the Fuller Youth Institute (FYI), continued spiritual vitality was operationalized by using the Religious Behavior Scale, the Religious Identity Scale, and the Risk Behavior Scale. The results identified nine elements from spiritual formation factors, social considerations, and high school youth group experiences that produced fourteen statistically significant correlations with higher levels of retention and spiritual vitality in the sample two years after leaving school. This research appears to suggest that it is the aggregated effect of intentional youth group experiences providing opportunity for the internalized guidance of the Holy Spirit, recognized as God's work, and not specific youth group programs or religious activities that have the potential to create a unique spiritual journey that would ensure spiritual vitality for the youth after they leave high school.</p>

Full textAbstract:
A minority of young people have difficulty in accessing Post School Education, particularly those who are vulnerable. In this study, consideration is given to a specific population of potentially vulnerable young people, those who are in the care of the Local Authority. This study explores Looked after Young Peoples' experience of transition into Post School Education, considering two main research questions; what makes this transition process easier, and what makes this process more challenging. The study was carried out in a small metropolitan borough in the West Midlands where I work as a Trainee Educational Psychologist. In this small scale, exploratory study, four young peoples' experiences were considered though semi-structured interviews. To ensure the full transitional experience was considered, participants were interviewed multiple times, (these being pre, during and post transition). An idiographic approach was taken to this research and therefore each participant's account was considered uniquely using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Super-ordinate themes emerged for each participant and these are presented in a case by case basis. Commonalities amongst these experiences emerged in developing master themes. The master themes were as follows: Self Transformation, Environmental Adaption, Interpersonal Relationships and Securing Positive Futures. These emergent themes provided insight in relation to the research questions. Benefits of emotional support, clear expectations and stable consistent relationships were identified as making the process easier. Practically, a graduated approach to transition, which developed advanced familiarity and facilitated opportunities for social inclusion, was also valued. The importance of positive attitudes, with high expectations for aspirational futures, were also recognised as key by the participants. Challenge was described in relation to identity changes and emotional regulation. A loss of routine, and adapting to new environments, were further described as being initially difficult. Relational loss and a fear of social isolation were also described as demanding elements of the transition. Finally, a lack of an individualised approach to transition planning and access to appropriate advice and guidance were also identified as creating challenge. Considerations for Educational Psychology practice are made based on these findings.

Esta Tese tem o objetivo de discutir como o Ensino Fundamental de nove anos está inserido em práticas de governamento da infância e, ainda, como essas práticas possibilitam um outro lugar escolar para as crianças de seis anos de idade. Utilizo os conceitos de governamentalidade, governamento e biopoder, a partir de algumas aproximações com o pensamento de Michel Foucault, entre outros autores que assumem uma perspectiva pósestruturalista. Utilizei como material de pesquisa alguns documentos que tratam da política de Ensino Fundamental de nove anos elaborados pelo Ministério da Educação e pela Secretaria de Educação do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, bem como matérias jornalísticas que estavam sendo publicadas sobre o assunto no período mais intenso da implementação do Ensino Fundamental de nove anos (2005-2008). Organizei o estudo em duas dimensões de análise da política de Ensino Fundamental de nove anos. A primeira dimensão aborda o nível institucional, a partir de três eixos: a inclusão, a gestão e a avaliação. A segunda aborda o discurso sobre os sujeitos, ou seja, como o sujeito infantil de seis anos é narrado no material coletado. Essa segunda dimensão foi analisada a partir de dois eixos: o esmaecimento de fronteiras e a infantilização e a desinfantilização da infância. A análise dos materiais me possibilitou compreender essa política educacional para além do discurso da universalização e da igualdade de oportunidades. Isso implica perceber que incluir “todas” as crianças de seis anos na escola de Ensino Fundamental, passa por uma estratégia voltada para a gestão do risco social e para uma gestão de resultados. Também procurei mostrar que a política de Ensino Fundamental de nove anos pode estar contribuindo para aproximar as crianças de seis anos da lógica escolar já instituída no Ensino Fundamental. No que diz respeito à infantilização e à desinfantilização da infância penso que ainda que esses processos pareçam contraditórios, não são excludentes, eles estão implicados numa mesma racionalidade governamental. É nesse cenário constituído de paradoxos e tensões que se configuram e se subjetivam esses sujeitos infantis de seis anos que estão começando a ocupar este novo lugar no espaço do Ensino Fundamental de nove anos.<br>This thesis aims to discuss how the nine-year primary education is embedded in practices of childhood government and how these practices allow another school place for six-year-old children. I use the concepts of governmentality, government and biopower, from some approaches to the thought of Michel Foucault, among other authors who take a poststructuralist perspective. I used documents about the nine-year primary education policy prepared by the Ministry of Education and the State of Rio Grande do Sul Education Department as research material, as well as news stories that were being published about the issue during the most intense period of the implementation of the nine-year primary education (2005-2008). I organized the study in two dimensions of analysis of the nine-year primary education policy. The first dimension addresses the institutional level, from three axes: inclusion, management and evaluation. The second deals with the discourse on the subject, in other words, how the six-year-old child subject is narrated in the gathered material. This second dimension was analyzed from two perspectives: the fading of borders and infantilization and disinfantilization of childhood. The analysis of materials enabled me to understand this education policy beyond the discourse of universality and equality of opportunities. This implies realizing that including "all" six-year-old children in primary education involves a strategy focused on social risk and results management. I also tried to show that the nine-year primary education policy may be contributing to bring six-year-old children closer to the scholastic logic which has already been established in primary school. Concerning infantilization and disinfantilization of childhood, although these processes may seem contradictory, they are not mutually exclusive; they are implicated in the same governmental rationality. In this scenario, consisting of paradoxes and tensions, these six-year-old subjects, who are beginning to occupy this new place in the nine-year primary education space, shape and subjectify themselves.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis draws on the experiences of 21 young people transitioning from a special school for students with labels of moderate learning difficulty, to further education college. Taking a disability studies approach, that is, viewing disability as a social and political response to human diversity, I examine some social processes through which student identity and agency meanings may be negotiated during transition. Times of change offer circumstances of opportunity in which new identity and agency meanings may be improvised and tested in various forms. Some students found emergent ways to subvert and transgress expectations, given the different labels applied to them. Transition, with its focus on future change, offers limbic moments which appear to support situations for such opportunistic transgression. Of particular interest are the environments and circumstances that support or promote broadening of identity and agency options, because an understanding of these may enable the engineering of such situations. Whilst the students were transitioning to college, my own researcher subjectivities and understandings of ‘knowledge’ were also in flux. I describe the considerable influence these changes had on the research processes and my understandings of identity and agency. I propose that identity and agency meanings, whilst fluid and ever-changing, are linked with particular people and situated in particular social sites. With this in mind, and as a provocation to new ways of thinking I discuss foundation level further education as an ethical project, envisaging circumstances that may support and promote broader, more positive opportunities for identity and agency negotiations amongst young people with labels of learning disability. In this context, further education is re-imagined as an opportunity for potential empowerment, repositioning learning disabled students as agents of social change.

Full textAbstract:
It is claimed that during the 1960s and 1970s a new chapter in the history of English Religious Education (hereafter RE) began. Christian Confessionalism, whereby children were introduced to, nurtured in, and encouraged to adopt, the Christian faith, was swept aside and replaced by a non-confessional, phenomenological, multi-faith model, in which children were introduced to a variety of World Religions, with the aim that they would become more understanding of and tolerant towards others. Subsequently the study of World Religions (hereafter SWR) was adopted at all phases of the school system. Whilst this transition has been subjected to a wealth of historical analysis, existing accounts concentrate on narrative reconstructions of what happened, rather than investigating the complex interaction of discourses that created circumstances in which the change became possible. By framing analysis within national boundaries these reconstructions also overlook supranational influences. Thus, the supranational ecumenical movement (concerned with achieving greater unity and co-operation between denominationally separated Christian groups) has hitherto been largely overlooked. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s historical methods, I have developed a critical methodology, which examines how certain practices become possible. This method, Statement Archaeology, follows Foucault in emphasizing ‘discontinuities’, ‘statements’, and the search for the ‘relative beginnings’ of particular practices. Deploying the method entailed a detailed forensic exploration of relevant primary, unutilized, sources drawn from relevant domains of ecumenical discourses at both supranational (World Council of Churches) and national (British Council of Churches) levels. These sources were identified by tracing the provenance, and origin, of ecumenical statements repeated within Schools Council Working Paper 36 (1971). A ‘compound’ framework of understanding, combining the notions of Governmentality and Normalization, has been used. The thesis presents a number of original contributions to knowledge. By focusing on the multiple intersections of supranational and national domains of ecumenical discourse, Statement Archaeology reveals a much greater level of complexity than has hitherto been described and exposes a more nuanced understanding of how it became possible for SWR to be adopted, suggesting that the ‘relative beginnings’ of the practice are located—to some extent—in national ecumenical discourses. Further, supranational issues that affected these processes are unearthed, and motivations behind them are exposed, thus highlighting the importance of incorporating ecumenical discourses into the historiography of RE. The research also problematizes some assertions that have become characteristic of the existing historical narrative. Amongst other things, it disputes the existing positioning of Working Paper 36, highlights the problematic positioning of ‘mass immigration’ as a causal factor in adoption of SWR, and exposes a complexity of terminology, none of which appear to have been examined previously. These findings have application both in England and elsewhere, and are briefly discussed in relation to two other national contexts where approaches akin to SWR have been adopted. Finally, the limitations of the study are discussed and recommendations made for further work.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis makes the first sustained attempt to locate post-war British art school pedagogy in relation to systems-inspired cultural practice after World War II. I explore how in the post-war era in Britain, system, cybernetic and network theories had an instrumental presence in visual arts pedagogy and practice which marked a fundamental shift in the values of cultural production. This was informed both by General System Theory, which had emerged in biology before the war (GST) and its part in the new systemic presence across culture and economy in the wake of the war. I draw out this cultural trend through the examination of student work of the period, pedagogical documents and new interview material with teachers and students. The immediate post-war years form one of the most vital periods of technological development of all time, in which the physical and biological sciences played an ever-more prominent – and integrated - part. The pedagogies of 1945-1970 incorporated a range of systemic and mechanical approaches into creative practice, which had a clear link to contemporaneous technological developments. That mechanisms, networks and systemic approaches were a fundamental aspect of visual arts pedagogies of the period is a phenomenon which has never been analysed and this is the task of this thesis. This was manifested both in the subject matter of classes and courses and in the teaching structures and models that this thesis will examine. These consist of the Basic Design movement, Groundcourse and the Hornsey protest of 1968. The presence of mechanics as process, pedagogy, practice and symbol within British art education demonstrates the evolving importance of technology within culture. With this in mind, each case study within this thesis investigates systems characteristics of British art school pedagogies during the period. The underlying aim is not to create a narrative account of each pedagogical moment, but rather to pursue the material and cultural influences which shaped their development.

Full textAbstract:
School Psychology<br>Ph.D.<br>Since the federal law IDEIA of 2004 allowed for the determination of LD eligibility for Special Education services, it was expected that School Psychologists would have begun spending less time devoted to standardized tests, and more time providing other services such as counseling, consultation, and interventions. Moreover, any benefit that these services might have for students would ideally extend beyond the K-12 period when they receive these services. This study compares the time school psychologists spend engaged in service delivery unrelated to testing with post-school outcomes for special education students. Data are compared from all 50 states, as well as other variables such as the ratio of students to psychologists, socio-economic status, and per pupil spending. While time not testing did not correlate with post-school outcomes, other variables proved to correlate significantly, and are discussed in accordingly. Data were collected from a variety of sources, including state and national governments, education departments, professional school psychology organizations, and research institutions. Students' post-school outcomes were tracked for eight years after high school, and measured and compared based on level of education. The ratio of students to school psychologists proved to correlate significantly with the graduation rate of special education students both from high school and from four-year secondary institutions, suggesting that the fewer students a psychologist serves, the better the outcomes for those students. However, socio-economic status (as represented by students receiving free lunch or lunch assistance) was by far the most significant correlate with school and post-school outcomes, necessitating comparisons between statistics with that variable removed. Ultimately, variables for which school psychologists have little control, such as socioeconomic status, the ratio, per pupil spending, the percentage of students receiving ELL instruction, and other factors, proved to be more significant in their correlation with graduation rates and post-school outcomes than how much time psychologists spent providing services other than testing. Further study is recommended, as various elements of this study proved to limit the value of the results, such as the use of states as units of study, as opposed to smaller units, the inability to further divide the ways in which psychologists allocate their time, and the inability to obtain post-school data for more specific subsets of the special education population, such as LD. A study employing smaller units of comparison, such as school districts, and which could accurately measure time school psychologists spend in a variety of service delivery capacities, as well as more uniform groups of special education students, is recommended.<br>Temple University--Theses

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate post-secondary students' perceptions of the role and functions of their high school counselor. One hundred seventy-three students currently attending a community college in a suburban area of a large metropolitan city participated in this study. The participants were asked to complete a survey developed by the researcher. Five research questions (listed below) guided this study.
1) Do post-secondary students perceive that high school counselors are performing the functions outlined by the American School Counselor Association (see Appendix B and C), and are there gender and ethnic differences?
2) How are perceptions of services rated as "very" important by post-secondary students, and are there gender and ethnic differences?
3) How are perceptions of services rated as "often" performed by post-secondary students, and are there gender and ethnic differences?
4) What are post-secondary student's perceptions of the importance with which specific counseling functions are performed as compared to perceptions of frequency?
5) What is the level of unmet need for counseling services perceived as "very" important by post-secondary students?
The results indicated that only two percent of high school counselors performed all functions identified on the questionnaire, however the majority of participants indicated counselors performed nearly one-third of the functions. The functions were noted as academic, career, or personal/social domain. The most important function and the most often performed function rated by participants was discussing graduation requirements and the least important as well as the least performed function was identified as assistance with relationship issues. In general, there was not a significant difference between gender and ethnicity. The percentage of participants who indicated a function was "very" important, however was "seldom" or "never" performed was above 50% for most functions.<br>Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
This study is an investigation into the relationship between attitudes, beliefs and practices in relation to poetry and the study of poetry. Its participants consisted of teachers and students at a post-secondary institution in Malta as well as the chief examiner responsible for the Matriculation Certificate Advanced level English syllabus and examination. The study’s application of a mixed methods approach entailed the use of a number of research methods and instruments, including a questionnaire, classroom observation, and semi-structured and focus group interviews. These interviews employed the use of poetry as stimulus material. This research design was deployed as a means of developing an understanding of the participants’ attitudes and beliefs in relation to poetry and its pedagogy, as well as a way of examining their practices in the poetry classroom and their approach to poetry outside the school environment. This study shows that the interplay between attitudes, beliefs and practices is fundamental. Given that such research is to a large extent missing from the literature on poetry education, this study’s main contribution to advancing knowledge in the field is the light it throws on the importance of the relationship between attitudes and beliefs on the one hand and practices on the other. Rather than restricting itself to exploring the influence of examinations on poetry pedagogy, as is the case with much previous research, this study clarifies the importance of shared attitudes and beliefs in determining the way teachers and students approach poetry. It demonstrates how fundamental it is for them and other stakeholders to develop an awareness of the effect of attitudes and beliefs in relation to poetry and poetry pedagogy. Its findings lead to a better understanding of the complexity of the events that occur in the poetry classroom and beyond, events that are engaged in by teachers and students both consciously and not.

Full textAbstract:
This particularistic qualitative study examined the perceptions of 18 students’ dual credit experience and the viewpoints of three administrators. While limited in scope, this study makes an important contribution to what is currently known about dual credit experiences from students that have graduated with a dual degree at the completion of high school. Primary data collection occurred through individual interviews with the students and with the administrators. Nine themes were identified from the qualitative analysis of the students’ interview responses and 10 themes were identified from analysis of the administrators interview responses. Student themes related to influence, the dual credit experience, student decisions/choices, value, desire to continue, dual credit concerns, advice to high school students, and the top three advantages to a dual credit program. The student participants reported that, while the dual credit experience had been challenging, the program resulted in positive educational outcomes, time savings, cost savings, and access to college courses. Administrator themes related to the dual credit enrollment process, influence, the student experience, support systems, student choice, outcomes of acquiring a dual degree, impact of dual degree status on pursuit of higher education, degree completion, advice for dual credit students, and the future of dual credit programs. While the three administrator participants valued the dual credit program, each provided a unique view of the program. The findings from this study may help to improve future dual credit experiences for the students and help to create a favorable relationship between the community college and high school. Conclusions drawn from the findings were reported. Implications for policy, research, and practice were identified. Recommendations were made for further research.

The UK government, under the Primary Capital Programme, is planning to rebuild or refurbish approximately half of all primary schools by 2022/23. The aim is to create primary schools that are equipped for 21st century teaching and learning. Around £7 billion will be invested in the scheme with £1.9 billion of the budget being spent 2008-11, £650 million for all local authorities in 2009-10 and £1.1 billion in 2010-11. However, this substantial investment will only meet the target of providing a 21st century educational environment, with opportunities for exemplary teaching and learning, if the design of new and refurbished schools is fit for this purpose. The research set out to answer the question ‘How can all user groups be involved in the evaluation of newly built primary schools?’ This question was addressed by achieving the aim of developing a post-occupancy evaluation toolkit specifically for primary schools which accounted for the views of all stakeholders. The research focussed on primary schools in the city of Coventry in the UK West Midlands and was conducted in two phases: an examination of schools built before the introduction of a model brief in 1996 and an evaluation of schools that were built using its guidance. The findings from the initial case studies indicated issues to be addressed in the design of the toolkit. Following the initial case studies in pre-1996 schools, the research focussed on five recently built primary schools that were constructed according to the guidelines contained in Coventry’s model brief. At the time of commencing the research, six primary schools had been built using this framework. However, there had been no attempt to evaluate the schools to establish whether they met the needs of all stakeholders. The post-occupancy evaluation toolkit that was developed took a multi-stakeholder perspective on primary school builds and resulted in findings which indicate the variability in responses between different stakeholder groups and schools. The research concluded that the post-occupancy toolkit can provide information on school buildings, from a multi-stakeholder perspective, which may be useful architects and designers. It also proposes an approach to primary school design which accounts for the variability in the needs of diverse stakeholder groups and the individuality of each school, including their geographical location.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate what leadership and followership means in a Post-1992 University Business School. The focus of the research study is in the areas of transformational leadership, followership and distributed leadership within three English post-1992 university business schools. The research proceeds from the perspective of exploring leadership through qualitative methodology and constructivist analysis. The majority of respondents’ reported the perception that they did not experience transformational leadership. Furthermore, the respondents reported a propensity by those in management posts to approach complex leadership and followership situations with more controls and reporting systems, and /or as critical events requiring major staff restructuring and redundancies. Whereby the cases study managers perceived themselves unable to resist what the system required and/or were compelled to impose control measures. On the basis of the findings, what is required is a more inclusive academic community. Within a complex knowledge based environment, such as a business school, individuals might be both leaders and followers at different times. The research indicates that blended leadership, which is consultative and distributed, will encourage more collegiate engagement and thereby promote a climate within which each person can contribute to the effective leadership of the institutions concerned.

A presente dissertação intitulada Do quadro negro à tela do computador: a produtividade do governamento na constituição do aluno no Curso de Pedagogia a Distância da FACED/UFRGS tem como objetivo apresentar e analisar as estratégias de governamento utilizadas no Curso de Pedagogia a Distância da FACED/UFRGS, responsáveis pela constituição do aluno de um determinado tipo. Descreve e analisa as atividades desenvolvidas com e por um grupo de alunas do 5º semestre do curso, em 2008/2, propostas pela interdisciplina intitulada Seminário Integrador. Apresenta e analisa, também, a proposta do referido seminário para o semestre. Nesta dissertação o estudo do governamento das alunas, termo sugerido por Veiga-Neto (2002, p. 3) no intuito de aproximá-lo do uso feito por Foucault, é considerado como "[...] um conjunto de ações de poder que objetivam conduzir (governar) deliberadamente a própria conduta ou a conduta dos outros [...]", destacando a produtividade de tal estratégia. Tendo em vista que o governamento acontece por meio de tecnologias de dominação e tecnologias do eu, a proposta do Seminário Integrador é vista nesse trabalho, operando como uma tecnologia de dominação e as produções escritas das alunas como tecnologias do eu. A investigação insere-se no campo dos Estudos Culturais em Educação, principalmente nos estudos que se aproximam da perspectiva pós-estruturalista, mais precisamente dos estudos de Foucault. É um estudo de caso feito a partir da análise de documentos. O estudo feito permite afirmar que o curso, através Seminário Integrador, investiu numa heterogeneidade de atividades, entendidas como estratégias de governamento, que buscaram fazer as alunas ao falarem de si, se modificarem como professoras e alunas. Nesse processo de falar de si, por meio da escrita, as alunas foram modificando seus modos de agir, de pensar, de se expressar constituindo-se como alunas desejadas pelo curso, mais autônomas, críticas e comprometidas com a proposta do mesmo. Os dados analisados também possibilitam salientar, que no curso de EAD estudado, os processos de acompanhamento, controle e regulação podem ser vistos como tão ou mais efetivos do que na modalidade presencial.<br>The present dissertation titled From the blackboard to the computer screen: the productivity of the government in training the student in the Distance Pedagogy Major of FACED/UFRGS aims to present and analyze the strategies of the government utilized in the Distance Pedagogy Major of FACED/UFRGS, responsible for training a determined type of student. It has described and analyzed activities developed with and by a group of female students from the 5th semester of the Major, in 2008/2, proposed by the titled Integrator Seminar. It has presented and analyzed, also, the referred seminar propose for the semester. In this dissertation, the study of the government of students, a term suggested by Veiga-Neto (2002, p.3) with the means of approximating it to the use made by Foucault, has been considered as "a set of power actions that aims to conduct (govern) deliberately the own conduct or the others' conduct", highlighting the productivity from such strategy. In view of the government occurring by the means of technologies of domination and technologies of self, the propose of the Integrator Seminar has been seen, in this work, operating as a technology of domination and students' written productions as technologies of self. The investigation has been inserted in the field of Cultural Studies in Education, mainly in studies that approximate to the post-structuralized perspective, to be more precisely, to Michel Foucault's studies. It is a study of effect-cause occurring from the analysis of documents. The study realized allows to affirm that the Major, through the Integrator Seminar, has invested in the heterogeneity of activities, understood as strategies of government that searched for making the female students talk about themselves, and be transformed as teachers and students. In this process of talking about themselves, through writing, the female students started modifying their way of acting, thinking, and expressing, being trained as students that desired the Major, and becoming more autonomous, critical and compromising with its propose. The data analyzed made also possible to highlight that, to DE, the processes of accompanying, controlling and regulating may be seen as so or more effective than in the modality of presence teaching.
