Full textAbstract:
Non-francophone teachers of French as a second or additional language (FSL) often struggle with overwhelming oral anxiety, consequent low self-confidence, and workplace marginalisation. Core French or Basic French teachers, in particular, and their subjects have been undervalued (Carr, 2007; Lapkin, McFarlane, & Vandergrift, 2006; Richards, 2002). Moreover, recent national FSL research points to challenges in the areas of teacher attrition, lack of methodological and /or linguistic preparation, and lack of professional development opportunities in the FSL context (Karsenti, 2008; Salvatori, 2007). In this dissertation, I present the findings of my qualitative research study, which examined the conditions and experiences of non-francophone FSL teachers in Manitoba. To do so, I looked at the teachers' relationship with French and how French oral competency and oral language communicative confidence are intertwined to foster the teachers' sense of agency. The theoretical orientations underpinning this study draw from socio-constructivism (Bruner, 1985, 1990; Vygotsky, 1978), Feminist Standpoint theory (De Vault, 1999; Lather, 1991), Bakhtinian dialogism (Vitanova, 2005), and Institutional Ethnography (Smith, 1987, 2005). The lens I used to understand and interpret the voices and self-perceptions of the teachers is Process Drama, delivered in the form of professional development workshops. Process Drama (Heathcote, 1991) consists of thematically based improvisations, which are used to explore a topic and, at the same time, to invite self-exploration. It possesses unique characteristics, and has been successfully used in the second and foreign language classroom (Dicks & Le Blanc, 2009; Kao & O'Neill, 1998; Liu, 2002; Marshke, 2005). My particular focus, however, was on the Manitoba FSL teacher as a student, rather than as a teacher of language. Findings from this study indicate reduced oral anxiety as related to French language competency, reduced performanceLes enseignantes et enseignants non-francophones du français langue seconde et additionnelle (FL2) se trouvent parfois aux prises avec l'anxiété orale, le manque d'estime de soi et la marginalisation au travail. En particulier, les enseignants du Français de base sont souvent sous-valorisés par rapport à la matière enseignée (Richards, 2002 ; Lapkin, McFarlane & Vandergrift, 2006 ; Carr, 2007). Des sondages et des études récentes à l'échelle nationale indiquent des défis dans le domaine de l'attrition professionnelle, du manque de préparation méthodologique et/ou linguistique, et de la pénurie d'occasions de perfectionnement professionnel dans le contexte du FL2 (Salvatori, 2007 ; Karsenti, 2008). Ce mémoire de thèse présente les résultats de mon étude qualitative où j'ai examiné les conditions et les expériences des enseignants non-francophones du FL2 au Manitoba. Je me suis concentrée sur la relation entre l'enseignant et la langue française et comment la compétence orale et la confiance communicative se combinent pour construire l'identité linguistique et l'agentivité du locuteur non-natif. À la base de cette étude, mes orientations théoriques proviennent du socio-constructivisme (Vygotsky, 1978 ; Bruner, 1985, 1990), de la théorie de « Feminist Standpoint » (De Vault, 1999; Lather, 1991), du dialogisme bakhtinien (Vitanova, 2005) et de l'ethnographie institutionnelle (Smith, 1987, 2005). Les voix et les perceptions des enseignants-participants de cette étude sont interprétées sous l'optique du Process Drama. Le Process Drama (Heathcote, 1991) consiste en épisodes thématiques improvisés où les participants explorent un sujet et s'explorent parallèlement. Le Process Drama possède des caractéristiques uniques qui font l'objet de recherche dans des classes de langue seconde et de langue étrangère (Dicks & Le Blanc, 2009 ; Kao & O'Neill, 1998 ; Liu, 2002; Marshke, 2005 ). Mon intérêt, cependant, porte sur l'e

Full textAbstract:
Two developmental theories propose guidelines for professional development programs. The basic assumption shared by both these theories is that teachers' preferences will vary between individuals and that this variation reflects different stages of teachers' development. Teachers at lower levels of development (either professional or conceptual) will prefer highly structured programs that focus on "concrete" concerns, with little interaction between peers. Teachers at higher levels of development will prefer loosely structured programs, with more teacher interaction, autonomy, and discussion of theoretical problems underlying "concrete" issues.
This study investigated: 1) FSL teachers' preferences for decision-making roles and for content in professional development programs; 2) FSL teacher characteristics possibly influencing teachers' preferences for professional development.
Teachers' preferences were measured using an instrument developed by the researcher. The survey consisted of two parts:
1) A section on teachers' characteristics, providing a profile of the teacher's background and current professional development opportunities;
2) A questionnaire on teachers' preferences for structure and content in professional development programs. The survey was answered by 132 teachers from 12 school districts in British Columbia (12.2% of all French teachers in British Columbia).
The findings showed that respondents would like to actively participate in professional development programs. Teachers' preferences for structure and content were varied. This supports one basic assumption of developmental approaches: that the learning environment and material of professional development programs should be designed to meet the varied needs of teachers.
Teachers did not express a preference for lower level content and a directive structure of professional development. While professional development programs should address the varied needs of participating teachers, it should not be aimed primarily at lower levels of development, as can be assumed from the findings of developmental research.
When teachers' characteristics were examined as possible factors influencing teachers' preferences for structure and content, no significant differences were observed between teacher characteristics and their preferences for content. Significant differences were observed between teacher characteristics and teachers' preferences for structure (decision-making roles). Two teacher characteristics showed significance: 1) Grade level taught by FSL teachers and their preference for structure in the presentation of professional development content. A significant number of elementary school teachers preferred to leave responsibility for presentation with a supervisor. A significant number of secondary teachers preferred a collaborative structure.
2) Significant differences were observed between teachers' current professional development opportunities and their preferences for decision-making roles in a professional development structure. A significant number of teachers that had previously had responsibility for decision-making expressed a preference for a non-directive structure. Teachers that had never had responsibility preferred to leave decision-making to a supervisor.
From these results, it can be concluded that teacher characteristics might be influencing teachers' preferences and should be taken into account by organizers of professional development. The responsibility experienced by teachers in their current professional development activities would appear to be a factor influencing their preferences for future responsibility. The importance of environment in stimulating growth would appear to be a factor deserving the consideration of both practitioners intending to adopt a developmental approach and researchers in this area.Education, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The objectives of this qualitative multiple case study are as follows: (a) identify the professional beliefs or representations of two student teachers before, during and after their last practicum in FSL (French as a second language) or in French immersion at a High School; and (b) study the evolution of these beliefs or representations during the student teaching period.The investigation was conducted by means of semi-structured interviews: of two student teachers; of two associate teachers; of one university supervisor; and of the student teaching coordinator. Other data, taken from the portfolio of the two student teachers, were also analysed. The classroom actions of the two student teachers were observed on a daily basis (three teaching periods during seven weeks), alternating between the two student teachers. The data yielded by this observation were also examined.
The following conclusions were drawn: (a) the student teachers constructed a number of professional beliefs which were then reflected in their classroom practice; (b) social interactions with individuals and groups, personal experiences, former high school experiences, the training program and early field experiences were the basis of these student teachers' professional beliefs or representations; (c) some of the student teachers' beliefs or representations evolved as a result of their awareness of problems which were resolved through discussions and reflexive practice; (d) analysis revealed an inconsistency between certain beliefs or representations and their actualization. These findings were particularly significant in FSL and immersion classes where the two student teachers were in favour of a lot of interaction in view of promoting communicative competence. Yet, observation revealed a rather traditional teacher-centered approach oblivious of the learning process. The results of the research suggest that the evolution of the student teachers' beliefs or representations was impeded due to the lack of a more concerted, coordinated, rigorous support-oriented training program involving both the university and the associate school.
This study suggests a shared individual and collective responsibility of schools, universities and governments for improving the student teaching structure in view of more cohesiveness between all partners involved; a better articulation between theory and practice in the teacher training program; and efficient development of supervised reflexive practice.

Resumo: De acordo com diversos autores, as políticas educacionais brasileiras, desde o início da década de 1990, seguem as orientações de organismos internacionais, especialmente do Banco Mundial. Segundo Menga Ludke, entre as propostas de formação de professores existentes nos países "desenvolvidos", os IUFMs teriam uma influência sobre as proposições feitas no Brasil, pelo Ministério da Educação, no tocante à formação de professores. Através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, nós procuramos compreender as razões da criação daqueles institutos e os debates que os envolvem, e como se configura a formação de professores na França após a criação dos mesmos. Esses institutos foram criados em um contexto polêmico. Sua criação está ligada a importantes mudanças do sistema educacional francês, iniciadas na década de 1970, quando o duplo sistema de formação escolar (curso primário superior, para o povo, e secundário, para a burguesia urbana), herança das origens da escola republicana do final do século XIX, foi definitivamente e oficialmente substituído pelo "Colégio único", em 1975 (Reforma Haby). As mudanças na formação de professores estão, também, ligadas aos debates sobre a "profissionalização" do trabalho de ensino, vinculados à idéia de "universitarização" da formação. O objetivo inicial dos IUFMs de aproximar a formação dos professores das escolas e dos professores de liceu e colégio não obteve muito sucesso. A intenção de elevar o status profissional dos professores primários foi melhor alcançada, ao se substituir essa denominação pela de "professores das escolas", elevando sua formação ao nível "universitário", embora ainda existam professores primários nas escolas, os quais não têm o mesmo estatuto. Desde o início de 2007, os IUFMs começaram a ser integrados às universidades e se tornaram agora Escolas Internas às Universidades, como é o caso em bom número de países. Essa iniciativa se inscreve dentro do "Processo de Bologna". As polêmicas sobre o lugar dos "IUFMs" dentro das Universidades, sobre sua autonomia, sobre a "profissionalização" do trabalho do ensino, sobre a "universitarização" da formação dos professores bem como do lugar da pesquisa dentro dessa fomação voltam novamente ao debate.
Resumé: D'après divers auteurs, les politiques éducatives brésiliennes, depuis le début de la décennie de 1990 ont suivi les orientations d'organismes internationaux, spécialement de la Banque Mondiale. Selon Menga Ludke, parmi les types de formation des enseignants existant dans les pays dévélopés exerçant une influence sur les propositions faites au Brésil à travers le Ministére de l'Éducation à ce sujet figure le modèle français des IUFMs. A travers une recherche bibliographique et documentaire, nous avons cherché à comprendre les raisons de leur création et les débats qui l'entourent et comment se fait la formation des professeur en France après la création des IUFMs. La création de ces instituts en France s'est faite dans un contexte de vives polémiques. Leur création est liée à d'importants changements du système éducatif français initiées dans la décennie 1970, quand le double réseau de formation scolaire (cours primaire supérieur pour le peuple et secondaire pour la bourgeoisie urbaine) hérité des origines de l'école républicaine, à la fin du 19ème siècle est définitivement et officiellement remplacé par le collège unique en 1975 (réforme Haby). Les changements de la formation des enseignants sont aussi liés aux débats sur la "professionnalisation" du métier enseignant, liés à l'idée d'«universitarisation» de la formation. Le but initial, concernant les IUFMs, de rapprocher la formation des professeurs des écoles et les professeurs de lycées/collèges n'a pas bien réussi. L'intention d'élever le statut professionnel des instituteurs, en replaçant cette dénomination pour celle de "professeurs des écoles" et en leur donnant une formation "universitaire" a davantage abouti, bien qu'il existe encore dans les écoles des instituteurs, qui n'ont pas le même statut. Depuis le début 2007, les IUFMs ont commencé à être intégrés aux Universités et déviennent alors des Écoles Internes aux Universités, comme cela est déjà le cas dans un certain nombre de pays. Cette initiative s'inscrit dans le cadre du Processus de Bologne. Les polémiques sur la place des IUFMs dans les Universités, sur leur autonomie, sur la "professionnalisation" du métier enseignant, sur l'«universitarisation» de la formation des professeurs ainsi que sur la place de la recherche dans cette formation se poursuivent.

Full textAbstract:
Com o avanço das tecnologias, dos processos de internacionalização das universidades e da crescente possibilidade de interação em contextos profissionais, as situações de comunicação em língua estrangeira têm sido cada vez mais presentes. Inserido nesse cenário, o indivíduo deve ser capaz de compreender documentos orais e escritos, expressar-se e interagir em uma determinada língua estrangeira. No âmbito do ensino-aprendizagem do Francês Língua Estrangeira, estudos realizados apontam a compreensão oral como uma das competências mais difíceis de desenvolver e uma das mais indispensáveis para favorecer a interação em língua francesa (GREMO; HOLEC, 1990, PORCHER, 1995; CORNAIRE, 1998; CUQ; GRUCA, 2009). Tal constatação nos levou a refletir, a discutir e a investigar quais seriam as questões centrais relacionadas à compreensão oral que deveriam integrar a formação inicial do professor de francês visando seu desenvolvimento para o ensino dessa competência em sala de aula a partir do uso de documentos orais autênticos. As referências teóricas adotadas basearam-se nos estudos acima sobre compreensão oral, sobre a postura crítico-reflexiva do professor (BROWN, 1997; SHÖN, 2000; PERRENOUD, 2002; ALMEIDA FILHO, 1997, 2000, 2006) e, também, sobre o desenvolvimento e mobilização do sentido de plausibilidade (PRABHU, 1987, ALMEIDA FILHO, 1997). Para a realização desta pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa-interpretativista, selecionamos o método pesquisa-ação (THIOLLENT, 1986). Inserida em contexto de formação inicial de professores, esta pesquisa integrou a disciplina Atividades de Estágio, do Curso de Licenciatura em Letras/Francês da Universidade de São Paulo por meio da elaboração e aplicação do módulo Ensino da compreensão oral em Francês. Com o auxílio de instrumentos formativos metarreflexivos, que configuraram espaço de reflexão crítica, os participantes foram levados a analisar as proposições de atividades de compreensão oral elaboradas e apresentadas pelo professor-pesquisador com objetivo de conscientizar o futuro professor a respeito dos critérios a serem considerados para seleção, análise e didatização de documentos orais. Ademais, durante o desenvolvimento do módulo, os participantes foram levados a propor atividades de compreensão oral que foram igualmente analisadas dentro da perspectiva teórica adotada. O corpus desta pesquisa foi constituído, portanto, pelas respostas dos participantes registradas nos questionários e nas fichas metarreflexivas utilizadas ao longo da formação, bem como pelas atividades elaboradas por eles. Num primeiro momento, as análises dos resultados mostraram a necessidade de reforçar o ensino da compreensão oral como item de formação didático-metodológica nas disciplinas de Licenciatura dos Cursos de Letras, o que significa discutir as etapas de seleção, análise e didatização de documentos orais junto aos licenciandos. Num segundo momento, a análise dos dados obtidos demonstrou que os instrumentos de metarreflexão utilizados na pesquisa favoreceram a participação dos futuros professores e contribuíram para o desenvolvimento de sua reflexão-crítica. Por último, a conscientização dos procedimentos didático-metodológicos, visando o desenvolvimento da compreensão oral em língua estrangeira, aproxima o aluno em formação de situações de sala de aula e permite, no espaço de formação inicial na Licenciatura, que vários questionamentos sejam realizados, gerando mais aprendizado e promoção de autonomia nos futuros professores.With the advance of technologies, the internationalization process of the universities and the increasing possibility of interaction in professional contexts, the situations of communication in foreign language have been more and more present. Inserted in this scene, the individual must be able to comprehend oral and written documents, express him/herself and interact in certain foreign language. In the scope of the teaching and learning of French as a foreign language, the studies pointed out the Listening as one of the most difficult skills to develop and one of the most essential to favor the interaction in French language (GREMO ; HOLEC, 1990; PORCHER, 1995; CORNAIRE, 1998; CUQ e GRUCA, 2009). Such confirmation led us to reflect, discuss and investigate what would be the central questions related to Listening comprehension that should take part in the initial formation of the French teacher aiming his/her development to teach this skill in class by using authentic oral documents. The theoretical references used were based on the Listening studies above, on the teachers critical reflective practice (BROWN, 1997; SHÖN, 2000; PERRENOUD, 2002; ALMEIDA FILHO, 1997, 2000, 2006) and also on the development and mobilization of the sense of plausibility (PRABHU, 1987; ALMEIDA FILHO, 1997). To carry this research out, a qualitativeinterpretative one, we selected the action research method (THIOLLENT, 1986). Inserted in a context of teachers initial formation, this research was part of the discipline Atividades de Estágio, from the undergraduate course in Languages/French of the University of São Paulo by means of elaborating and applying the module Ensino da compreensão oral em Francês. With the help of metareflective formative instruments, that define the space of critical reflection, the participants were encouraged to analyze the Listening activities propositions elaborated and presented by the teacher-researcher with the objective to make the future teacher aware of the criteria to be considered in selecting, analyzing and using oral documents. Furthermore, during the development of the module, the participants were led to propose listening activities that were analyzed in the same way considering the theoretical perspective adopted. This research corpus was constituted, though, by the participants answers filled in the questionnaires and metareflective cards used during the formation, as well as the activities made by them. At a first moment, the results analyses revealed the necessity to reinforce the teaching of Listening as an educational-methodological formation item in the disciplines of the undergraduate course in Languages, which means to discuss the stages of selecting, analyzing and using oral documents with the undergraduate students. At a second moment, the collected data analysis showed that the instruments of metareflection used in the research encouraged the participation of the future teachers and contributed towards the development of their reflection-critic. Finally, the awareness of the educationalmethodological procedures, aiming the development of Listening in foreign language, bring the student in formation closer to class situations and stimulate, in the space of the undergraduate initial formation, the formulation of many questions, generating more learning and the promotion of autonomy in future teachers.

Considering limited professional contexts for Teachers of French as a Foreign Language, which working scenes, generally, refer to specific purposes, this thesis defends Letters Undergraduations should provide a formation which develops such competences for future Teachers of French as a Foreign Language. Thus, this research discusses the needs of preservice Teachers of French as a Foreign Language of learning and practicing teaching French for Specific Purposes approach. It is supposed that such approach will develop future teachers’ autonomy and critical reflective consciousness, once there are restricted spaces in Brazilian context to offer the teaching of French as a Foreign Language in Regular Education. Inserted in Apllied Linguistics Studies, this research brings Hutchinson and Waters (1998) and Mangiante and Parpette (2004, 2011) to approach general aspects on Teaching Languages for Specific Purposes. It also shows Perrenoud (2001, 2002) and Schön (2008) to focus on reflective practices and Freire (2008, 2011) and Gallison and Puren (2001) as a foundation for a discussion on autonomy and political formation for teachers. Besides, Tomlinson (1998), Ramos (2009, 2010) and Celani (2005), have brought up reflections on teaching material for teaching French for Specific Purposes. The concept of local needs have taken as basis the notion of local knowledge by Canagarajah (2005) to justify the validity of Teaching French for Specific Purposes in a given region. Therefore, it is a qualitative research, taking as methodological support the modality of Case Study and Data Analysis Procedures based on the studies of Bardin (2011) in order to construct analysis criteria, also considering criteria defined by Ramos (2010) to analyse taching material. This research brings as contribution the thesis that the process of formation for Teachers of French as a Foreign Language brings about the development of three distinct types of knowledge: savoir, savoir-faire and savoir-être which are exposed by the stages of perception, reflection and action, recognized in the predisposition for Teaching Practice Stage, in the production of teaching material and in the pre-service Teachers’ classes. Our results reveal that the formation of Teachers of French as a Foreign Language in the approach of Teaching French for Specific Purposes develops needed competences for teachers’ actions, teaching in specific contexts and the development of the three knowledges decribed in this research are confirmed, especially by the stages of perception, reflection and action
Diante de um atual cenário profissional limitado para o professor de Língua Francesa, para quem o locus de trabalho contempla, na maioria das vezes, contextos específicos de ensino, esta tese defende que os cursos de graduação em Letras devem prover uma formação que desenvolva as competências desse professor, com foco na Abordagem de Ensino de Francês com Objetivo Específico. Nesse sentido, este trabalho discute a necessidade do futuro professor aprender e praticar essa Abordagem ao longo de sua formação, desenvolvendo sua autonomia e sua consciência crítico-reflexiva para atuar nesses contextos uma vez que, a cada dia, se vê diminuir os espaços de atuação do professor de Francês na escola regular. Inserida na Linguística Aplicada, esta pesquisa traz as contribuições de Hutchinson e Waters (1998) e Mangiante e Parpette (2004, 2011) para tratar dos aspectos gerais ligados à Abordagem de Ensino de Línguas para Fins Específicos e se fundamenta nos escritos de Perrenoud (2001, 2002) e Schön (2008) para abordar a questão da prática reflexiva. Freire (2008, 2011) e Gallison e Puren (2001) fundamentam a discussão sobre autonomia e formação política do professor, neste trabalho. Tomlinson (1998), Ramos (2009, 2010) e Celani (2005), contribuem para com o desenvolvimento das reflexões em relação ao material didático para o ensino de Francês e é elaborado, nesta pesquisa, o conceito de necessidade local, tomando-se como base o conceito de saber local de Canagarajah (2005), para justificar a validade da Abordagem de Ensino de Francês com Objetivo Específico em uma dada região. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, cujo suporte metodológico é o estudo de caso e os procedimentos para a análise de dados tiveram como referencial teórico os estudos de Bardin (2011) para a elaboração das categorias de análise e os critérios de Ramos (2010) para a análise do material didático. Esta pesquisa traz como contribuição a tese de que a formação do professor de Francês na Abordagem com Objetivo Específico é responsável pelo desenvolvimento dos três saberes, descritos como savoir, savoir-faire e savoir-être o qual é possibilitado pelas etapas de percepção, reflexão e ação, reconhecidas na predisposição para o estágio, na elaboração do material didático e na regência das aulas pelo professor em formação. Os resultados revelam que a formação na Abordagem de Ensino de Francês com Objetivo Específico desenvolve as competências necessárias para a atuação do professor em contextos específicos de ensino e que há o desenvolvimento dos saberes que defendo nesta pesquisa, desencadeados pelas etapas de percepção, reflexão e ação

Full textAbstract:
In 1968, in the midst of the Civil Rights Era, the Louisiana government created the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana (CODOFIL). During this period of heightened ethnic awareness, CODOFIL aimed to rectify the damage done by prior Louisiana legislation, which prohibited French language on public school grounds. In an effort to revitalize the French language in Louisiana, the organization hired teachers from foreign francophone countries and advocated for a curriculum rooted in Standard French. According to historians, many locals felt Louisiana-specific French dialects were once again rejected. Alongside these foreign teachers were teachers local to Louisiana. Utilizing interviews with Louisiana natives who became French teachers in the state, this paper aims to add to the narrative by presenting their discussion of the topic. The interviews consistently refute claims that local educators were opposed to CODOFIL’s hiring of foreign teachers. In addition, the interviews explore the strides these teachers made in revitalizing Louisiana French in spite of CODOFIL’s complicated founder, James Domengeaux.

Full textAbstract:
Les réflexions sur le français au Sénégal sont souvent envisagées dans une perspective historique, sociolinguistique ou pédagogique. L'orientation de cette thèse est plutôt didactique. Son objectif est d'analyser l'enseignement /apprentissage du français dans les établissements moyen et secondaire. La recherche porte sur une problématique spécifique à un système institutionnel qui vise la maîtrise du français comme en situation de LM dans un cadre où cet idiome est LS. Cette attente de l'institution permet-elle une activité enseignante et une appropriation convenables de la langue, des cultures? La réponse a nécessité l'élucidation des concepts de savoir, de savoir-faire, de compétence, de langue, de culture. Nous avons caractérisé les objets, les outils, les contenus et les méthodes fondamentales. Cela dans un contexte où les biographies langagières et culturelles des apprenants se définissent par des statuts plurilingues et pluriculturels. La transposition didactique et l'action conjointe sont étudiées pour décrire les activités de classe et la circulation des savoirs. Ce travail a privilégié une approche ethnographique avec des vidéographies, des entretiens, des autoconfrontations et un recueil de productions écrites. L'analyse des résultats de cette étude empirique est présentée suivant les savoirs, les enseignants et les apprenants. Elle a vérifié l'idée que la didactique du français langue seconde permet d'élaborer des savoirs linguistiques et culturels adaptés au contexte sénégalais, de pallier les difficultés dans l'activité enseignante et de faire des apprenants les acteurs de leur apprentissage. Cette analyse est complétée par des propositions didactiquesReflexions on French language in Senegal are often considered from a historical, sociolinguistical or educational perspective. The orientation of this thesis is rather didactic. Its aim is to analyze the Teaching/Learning of French in college and secondary schools. The research deals with a specific problematic for an institutional system which aims at the mastery of French as a native language when this idiom is a second language. Does this expectation from the institution allow for an effective teaching activity an appropriation of the language, of the school culture and of the anthropological culture? The answer to this question has required the elucidation of the concepts of knowledge, know-how, skill, language, culture. We have characterized objects, tools, contents, and fundamental methods for teaching and learning. That, in a context where the language biographies and cultural identities of the learners are defined by multilingual and multicultural status. Didactic transposition and joint action are studied to describe teaching activities and the circulation of knowledge. This work has priviledged an ethnographical approach with videographs of classes, interviews, selfconfrontations, and a collection of written productions. The analysis of the results from this empirical study is presented around three poles: skills, teachers and learners. Eventually, it has confirmed the idea that the didactics of french as a second language helps to elaborate linguistic and cultural skills adapted to the Senegalese context, to overcome difficulties in teaching activity, to make learners the actors of their learning. This analysis is completed with didactic suggestions

Full textAbstract:
Dans le contexte actuel de réformes des programmes de langue française à l’Université Libanaise, les institutions franco-libanaises se repositionnent pour améliorer la formation des enseignants du secteur public. Dans ce cadre, cette recherche s’attache à proposer un programme linguistique conçu à partir d’une ingénierie pédagogique de type FOS. Elle vise à améliorer le niveau de langue des enseignants de mathématiques bilingues pour offrir à l’Éducation de Base publique (cycle primaire) des maîtres d’école capables de communiquer efficacement en français et par conséquent de contribuer à améliorer le niveau de français de leurs élèves. À ce titre, la première phase de cette étude consiste à définir les enjeux politiques et institutionnels liés à la mise en œuvre d’un programme sur mesure. Ensuite, à travers l’analyse des besoins langagiers d’une part, et d’un corpus filmé, transcrit et enrichi d’observations d’autre part, nous étudions les pratiques langagières et examinons les fonctions de la parole enseignante. Cette étude convoque les outils conceptuels de l’analyse des discours et de la pragmatique linguistique. Un regard croisé sur les analyses a permis de dégager des objectifs didactiques spécifiques inscrits dans une perspective interventionniste. Les principales propositions prônent une didactisation de l’alternance codique et ciblent des tâches professionnelles prioritaires telles qu’exposer une démarche pour calculer, animer en français un cours de mathématiques et utiliser les manuels dans l’enseignement/apprentissage de cette discipline.Finalement, une offre de formation complète ainsi qu’une évaluation sur mesure sont conçues et doivent être intégrées à un dispositif de formation continue dispensé à la faculté de pédagogie de l’Université LibanaiseIn the current context of reforms of French language programs at the Lebanese University, the Franco-Lebanese institutions reposition themselves to improve the training of public school teachers. In this context, this research aims to offer a linguistic program designed from an educational engineering French for Specific Purposes type. It aims to improve the level of language of bilingual mathematics teachers in order to offer for public Basic Education (primary school) teachers that are able to communicate effectively in French therefore helping to improve the students' level of French. As such, the first phase of this study is to define the political and institutional issues related to the implementation of customized program. Then, through the analysis of the language needs on one hand, and analyzing a corpus that is filmed, transcribed and enriched of observations on the other hand, we will study the language practices and will examine the functions of teaching discourse. This study convenes the conceptual tools of discourse analysis and linguistic pragmatics. A fresh perspective on an analysis has identified specific learning objectives enshrined in an interventionist perspective. The main didactic proposals advocates a didactization of code switching and targets professional priority tasks as exposing an approach to calculate, animating a French mathematics course and using textbooks in the teaching / learning of this discipline. Finally, a complete training offer and a customized assessment are designed and must be integrated into an in-service training provided to the Education Faculty of the Lebanese University

This collective case study explores second language (L2) training experiences from the perspectives of six Canadian statutory civil servants and examines factors that may have influenced their L2 learning experience. Three instruments were used to collect data: a preliminary questionnaire, an in-depth questionnaire, and an interview protocol. Findings reveal that a language and culture connection, opportunities to use the L2, and a short-term intensive cultural and linguistic immersion experience in particular were all associated with more positive L2 learning experiences. Negative comments regarding L2 learning experiences revolved around the anxiety and stress surrounding the one-shot summative nature of the oral exam, and seemingly no link between instruction and evaluation. This research contributes to the growing literature on factors affecting the L2 learning processes and outcomes. Furthermore, it may be beneficial for future candidates, language teachers, L2 program planners and curriculum designers within the Public Service Commission (PSC) and similar contexts.

Policy makers, school and district leaders, researchers, industry, and parents are all increasingly concerned with improving the quality of education in schools. Therefore, teachers need to welcome and keep themselves up-to-date about the improvements, developments, and educational reforms. At this point, in-service training of teachers is one of the most urgent concerns of teacher educators and policy makers. Although there is a widespread view on the importance of teachers&rsquoprofessional learning, how design and process should be handled is still questioning issue. The purpose of this study was to determine the kinds and qualities of in-service training that teachers needed. Professional development designs&rsquo
three elements were highlighted in this research. Content refers what designer of professional development expects teachers to learn
form denotes the context, materials, schedule, and evaluation in which learning takes place
audiences are targeted group of teachers who needs to participate some certain programs. Via survey design
data were collected from 1730 teachers, and analyzed through ANOVA and Structural Equation Modeling. Teachers reported an occasional need for Guidance and Special Education, Preparation for Inter/national Exams, Self-development, Professional Teaching Knowledge, and Technology Use, and reported medium satisfaction with previous programs. They also reported their preferences for in-service training program format. All these results were discussed together, and combined as design elements of training programs. Determining what teachers need and prefer and how they learn best made it possible to provide suggestions for Turkish teacher training policy to maximize the match between teacher needs and the content and process by which those needs are met.

Full textAbstract:
Like other fields of life also the education system has affected in Afghanistan by long lasting war and the whole system face with lack of professional cadre. For addressing the deficit in teaching cadre Ministry of Education beside other long term programs has designed short term courses for training of in-service teachers; these courses are called INSETs and it has been delivered through a unified modality of District Teacher Training Team (DT3) and covers all teachers nationwide. In this research I tried to study views of teachers about effectiveness of In-Service Trainings (INSET), since the INSET training program has important role in professional development and capacity building of teachers, but its effectiveness depends on the effectiveness of its composing elements such as teachers’ interest, time and duration, trainers’ ability, subjects covered in each training and follow-on support; to this end I collected the data through questionnaire. The findings show that generally teachers feel the need to their professional development, so they are interested to participate in INSET programs. The respondents believed that scheduling and planning for the INSET shall be made in close coordination to school management. The study findings also illustrate that both male and female respondents have same perception about trainers’ qualification, but female and BA holders have more critics about the trainers’ qualification. Majority of the respondents are satisfied about follow-up activities and they said they received follow-up support to practice the knowledge and skills in their daily class room activities. Majority of the respondents believed that the subjects or topics which are covered in the INSET courses are useful, but during developing of any study materials for INSET courses, more attention shall be paid for avoiding of ambiguity in the course materials, also those materials which are translated from foreign languages shall be adopted in Afghan context; and shall be translated professionally. Based on the teachers’ views the INSET program is effective, but still there are some problems to be solved to make the programs more functional and effective for teachers. Prior to designing of any training, need assessment of teachers through scientific methods is highly recommended. Lack of professional trainers is another issue toward effective implementation of the program.TEMP

Full textAbstract:
In 1983 two pilot schools in Tunis began teaching sciences and mathematics, one through French, the other through English, but based on the French curriculum and textbooks. The content and language of science was assumed to be similar: only the host language changed. In the pilot schools, physics, chemistry, and biology lessons were observed, set textbooks and their translations were compared, teachers' meetings attended, and sixth year pupils were tested. The validity of the assumption that scientific language is similar in French and English was assessed, and some of the consequences explored. The work was restricted to communication through words and non-verbals such as symbols. The results show that the assumption is only fully valid for the symbols of the elements and amino acids, and the SI system of units. Scientific language is not necessarily constant between French and English. Implications are drawn for linguistics and for the teaching of English to students of science; the differences cannot be ignored, because many of them are fundamental ones.

This research work is based upon a training technique devised and recommended by J. Smith (1985) in a pamphlet published by The British Historical Association. The technique involves training school pupils in the making of notes from text books and references and then selecting appropriate points to answer specific questions. The technique was slightly adapted and used on a small Experimental Group drawn from Black first year College of Education students at an Eastern Cape College. A Control Group from the same College received conventional lectures on two topicS from the first year college syllabus - the San and Khoi peoples of Southern Africa. The Experimental Group was given a brief training period in Smith's technique and then worked independently on extended reading passages on the same topics. Both groups received a similar introduction of a video tape on the San and a slide presentation on the Khoi. Both groups wrote the same final test after their learning experiences were over and both groups completed questionnaires on the initial visual input and on their reactions to the learning experience. Comparisons are drawn between the results and the students' reaction to those learning experiences.

Dans cette thèse, nous étudions l’impact du P.I.B.I.D. (Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência), programme de formation des professeurs au Brésil, créé en 2007, sur la formation des enseignants de mathématiques.Notre problématique est double : le P.I.B.I.D. apporte-t-il une amélioration conséquente à la formation des enseignants ?, et pour les professeurs de mathématiques : est-ce que la didactique des mathématiques, telle qu’elle est enseignée dans les Instituts d’Enseignement Supérieur, est liée réellement à la pratique de classe des enseignants formés par ce programme ?L’impact de la pensée française dans la sphère éducative brésilienne est indéniable. Ce sont de grands chercheurs français qui ont dirigé la construction des curriculums de formation des enseignants brésiliens. Il est donc naturel de comparer la formation donnée par le P.I.B.I.D. avec celle donnée dans les E.S.P.E. en France. Quatre parties composent cette thèse. Dans la première nous traçons le cadre général dans lequel se place la formation des enseignants en faisant une brève comparaison des systèmes scolaires brésilien et français au Chapitre I. Dans le suivant après avoir présenté succinctement le système d’enseignement supérieur brésilien, nous faisons un historique de la formation des professeurs au Brésil depuis 1 827, puis nous présentons le PIBID, sa création et son évolution jusqu’à nos jours où il va être remplacé par le Programme de Résidence Pédagogique.Dans la deuxième partie, nous abordons un point technique essentiel pour comprendre le PIBID : le système statistique complexe utilisé au Brésil pour piloter le système éducatif et repérer les écoles ayant le plus d’élèves en difficulté afin de les encourager à participer à ce programme en accueillant des boursiers. Au chapitre III, nous décrivons le Recensement Scolaire et son organisation. Nous explicitons certains concepts statistiques comme le flux scolaire et le taux de performance. Pour trouver des comparaisons pertinentes entre le Brésil et de la France, nous portons notre attention sur le redoublement et le décrochage scolaire en France. Au chapitre IV nous approfondissons ces concepts en détaillant le fonctionnement du S.A.E.B. (Système National d’Évaluation de l’Éducation de Base) et le calcul de l’I.D.E.B. (Indice de Développement de l’Éducation de Base) qui est crucial pour le P.I.B.I.D.Dans la troisième partie au chapitre V, nous analysons les réponses aux questions que nous avons posées lors des entretiens menés auprès de 34 acteurs du P.I.B.I.D. L’intégralité des échanges traduits en français figure à l’Annexe A. V. La transcription représente plus de 3 700 tours de parole.Enfin la quatrième partie est consacrée au point central de notre réflexion sur la formation des enseignants de mathématiques au Brésil, c’est-à-dire l’apport des théories pédagogiques et didactiques à cette formation.Nous décrivons brièvement au chapitre VI, l’influence au Brésil des recherches françaises en pédagogie et en didactique des mathématiques, en prenant en considération les travaux de Gaston Bachelard et Jean Piaget pour la pédagogie et de Guy Brousseau, Gérard Vergnaud, Yves Chevallard et Michèle Artigue, Gérard Sensevy et Rémi Brissiaud pour la didactique. Dans le chapitre VII, après un bref rappel des dispositifs de formation des enseignants en France nous portons un regard personnel sur cette formation dans les E.S.P.E. à travers des comptes rendus de séances d’observation que nous a pu effectuer à Nice. Enfin concernant le P.I.B.I.D., nous concluons que c’est un programme innovant qui a apporté beaucoup de progrès dans la formation des enseignants, et nous suggérons quelques améliorations sur la nature des stages dans les écoles et en retour quelques améliorations à apporter en France dans le choix des écoles où se déroulent les stages de formation des futurs enseignants.Cette recherche est complétée par une bibliographie de 180 référencesIn this thesis, we study the impact of the P.I.B.I.D. (Programa Institucional of Bolsas de Iniciação in Docência), training program of teachers in Brazil, created in 2007, on the formation of the teachers of mathematics.Our problem is twofold: does the P.I.B.I.D. provide a significant improvement in teacher training ?, and for mathematics teachers: is the didactic of mathematics, as taught in Higher Education Institutes, really linked to the class practice of teachers trained by this program?The impact of French thought in the Brazilian educational sphere is undeniable. These are great French researchers who led the construction of Brazilian teacher training curricula. It is therefore natural to compare the training given by P.I.B.I.D. with that given in the E.S.P.E. in France.Four parts compose this thesis. In the first we draw the general framework in which teacher training takes place by doing a brief comparison of the Brazilian and French school systems in Chapter I. In the following chapter, after presenting briefly the Brazilian higher education system, we write a historical of the training of teachers in Brazil since 1827, next we present the P.I.B.I.D., its creation and its evolution until our days when it will be replaced by the Pedagogical Residence Program.In the second part, we address an essential technical point to understand the P.I.B.I.D.: the complex statistical system used in Brazil to steer the education system and identify the schools with the most students in difficulty, to encourage them to participate in this program, welcoming fellows future teachers. In Chapter III, we describe the School Census and its organization. We explain some statistical concepts such as school flow and performance rate. To find relevant comparisons between Brazil and France, we turn our attention to repetition and drop out of school in France. In Chapter IV we delve deeper into these concepts by detailing the functioning of the National Basic Education Assessment System (S.A.E.B.) and the calculation of the I.D.E.B. (Basic Education Development Index) which is crucial for the P.I.B.I.D.In the third part, in Chapter V, we analyze the answers to the questions we asked in interviews with 34 stakeholders in the P.I.B.I.D. All the exchanges translated into French are given in Appendix A. V. The transcript represents more than 3,700 speaking slots.Finally, the fourth part is devoted to the central point of our reflection on the training of mathematics teachers in Brazil, that is to say the contribution of pedagogical and didactic theories to this training. We briefly describe in Chapter VI, the influence in Brazil of French researches in pedagogy and didactics of mathematics, taking into account the work of Gaston Bachelard and Jean Piaget for pedagogy and Guy Brousseau, Gérard Vergnaud, Yves Chevallard, Michèle Artigue, Gérard Sensevy and Rémi Brissiaud for didactics.In Chapter VII, after a brief review of teacher training schemes in France, we take a personal look at this training in the E.S.P.E. through reports of observation sessions that we have done in Nice.Finally, concerning the P.I.B.I.D., we conclude that it is an innovative program that has made a lot of progress in the training of teachers, and we suggest some improvements on the nature of internships in schools and in return some improvement to be made in France in the choice of schools where the training courses for future teachers take place.This research is completed by a bibliography of 180 references

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the views of teachers and further education lecturers in England and Wales about creativity and its development. A survey questionnaire was administered to 1028 teachers and lecturers, and interviews were conducted with a sub-sample of 31 teachers. The questionnaire included original measures of teachers' opinions about creativity and teaching style preferences, as well as the Torrance "Ideal Pupil" and "Ideal Person" Checklists - included to facilitate comparisons with previous research. Results indicate that most teachers subscribe to a definition of creativity perceived mainly in terms of "imagination", "originality" and "self-expression". "Divergence is regarded as synonymous with creativity by only half the sample. Most teachers think creativity can be developed, but almost three quarters think it is rare. Creativity is perceived as quite different from intelligence. Over two thirds think creativity is limitless, whilst less than a third think intelligence is. Clear differences in views on creativity emerged in terms of some major socio-biographical factors - sex and subjects taught, in particular. Such differences appear to be linked to teaching style preferences by the phenomenon "person orientation", as defined by Collings (1978). It has been found that females, general subject teachers, creative arts teachers and nurse tutors tend to favour a pupil oriented teaching style significantly more than males and maths/science/ technology teachers. Moreover, females are significantly more likely to view creativity in terms of self-expression than males, who are more "objectoriented", as discussed by Collings and Smithers (1984). Similarly, maths/science/technology teachers are significantly less likely to envisage creativity as "self-expression" than are all other groups. What mainly distinguishes those teachers in the sample most oriented to creativity from those much less oriented, is a body of opinion which reflects a preference for pupil-centred learning.

Full textAbstract:
This instrumental qualitative case study sought to explore the experiences of four Ontario elementary French immersion teachers with the factors that influence elementary student attrition, where French is the minority language. The study used the social constructivist approach to learning and development (Vygotsky, 1978), as well as the principles of interaction and continuity in experience (Dewey, 1971), to show that experience shapes learning within a social context. The three research questions that guided this study were: 1) According to a group of Ontario elementary French immersion teachers, what academic and social factors influence student attrition from French immersion?; 2) How are this group of teachers’ current teaching practices affected by their previous experiences with the academic and social factors that influence student attrition in French immersion, by their personal and professional learning experiences, as well as by their social context?; and 3) How might these teachers encourage students to stay in or leave French immersion? Two semi-structured individual interviews with each of the four participants were conducted. The interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim for coding and analysis. Results suggest that academic and social factors influence student attrition, that the teachers regularly change their teaching approaches and strategies to address student attrition and to help their students learn French, and that the teachers have experience encouraging students to stay in and leave French immersion. The findings of the present study contribute to the literature on French immersion teachers’ experiences with the factors that influence student attrition.

Full textAbstract:
Preservice teachers' perceptions of their learning, reading, and teaching in an experientially designed course, Children's Literature in the Classroom, is the focus of this study. Qualitative methods included data sources such as initial student surveys, written early literacy memories, audiotaped and transcribed discussions of children's and adolescent literature, mid-term and final self-evaluations, audiotaped and transcribed exit interviews, and various written artifacts created throughout the semester. Several levels of data analysis were used to discover answers to the following questions: What do preservice teachers view as the purpose of this course for themselves personally and professionally? What role do they see literature playing in learning, reading, and teaching? What class experiences were most significant to students? What are preservice teachers' perceptions of themselves and children as learners, readers, and teachers? Each question was extended by also examining the new understandings that were constructed during the many transactions within the semester. The findings of the study emphasized the positive learning experiences within the constructivist framework of this course. Concerning the purpose of the course and children's literature, class members gained a knowledge base in children's literature and an understanding through experience of the purpose and implementation of literature in the classroom. The most significant course aspect was stated as literature discussion groups. Reasons given for this included the personal experiences shared, the various understandings of literature through diverse responses, and the meaning making about text and life that transpired. As learners, preservice teachers developed a greater understanding of the complexities of learning as well as professional knowledge about literature and its use. As readers, they discovered new insights into the reading process, and for many a renewed love of reading emerged. As teachers, they constructed new attitudes and beliefs about teaching in addition to resources and professional preparation gained from the course. Three case studies showed how class members who had very different perceptions of how they best learned were all supported in their construction of knowledge within the class.

Full textAbstract:
The development of reflective thinking in student teachers has been gaining greater attention in the teacher education literature. Nevertheless, some of the multiple factors involved in this process have not yet been examined. This study focused on the perceptions that student teachers have of their relationship with their cooperating teachers in the context of a practicum. More specifically, it attempted to determine if and how cooperating teachers trigger student teachers' reflective thinking. Seventeen student teachers, who made up the first cohort to experience the four-year undergraduate program in teaching English as a second language, participated in this exploratory study. Three sets of data were collected through questionnaires, interviews and reflective logs. Two phases of analysis followed, allowing the categorization of results and patterns into five distinct categories that corresponded to the research questions. The quantitative phase provided the results to the Likert-type questionnaire using two statistical management softwares: SPSS 10.0 and Excel. The qualitative phase used a coding system to identify the emerging patterns in the interview and in the reflective log data. The first phase of analysis provided descriptive statistics indicating that it is the cooperating teachers' verbal communication that most triggers student teachers' reflective thinking. The second phase revealed that student teachers attribute the triggering of their reflective thinking more to themselves and to class incidents than to their cooperating teachers. Based on the findings, Taggart's (1996) Reflective Thinking Model was enhanced by a socio-constructivist micro-model designed to help cooperating teachers better support student teachers' reflection. The study contributes to teacher education research by elucidating the relationship between student teachers and cooperating teachers with regards to the development of reflective thinking.

Full textAbstract:
Programs designed for teachers’ training should prepare them to attend to the needs of talented/gifted students in their classrooms. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether future teachers had sufficient knowledge to attend the talented/gifted students. The sample consisted of 170 undergraduate students (145 women, 25 men), who were enrolled in teachers’ preparation courses in 2 private and 3 state universities in Brazil. A questionnaire with six open questions about talent/giftedness was administered in a group setting, and answers were classified by content analysis. The results indicated that teachers have several doubts about these concepts and question if they are responsible or the school administrators are responsible to attend to these students. In conclusion, future teachers are not receiving adequate preparation to guide talented/gifted students in their classrooms.La formación de los profesores brasileños a nivel de pregrado debe prepararlos para enseñar a los estudiantes talentosos / dotados.

As a result of low student scores on math assessments and teachers' seeming inability to raise those scores, professional development (PD) interventions were developed to address teachers' knowledge and understanding of math instruction. The purpose of this case study was to gain a deeper understanding of teachers' experiences with the math staff development training and how those experiences influence their teaching and students' learning. Guided by constructivist theory, the key research questions addressed the math teachers' experiences with the math PD and what teachers perceive to be their needs for effective math PD. Data for this case study were collected through interviews and observations of 25 secondary math teachers at 3 high schools. The data were coded using an analytic method to discern themes and patterns. The findings indicated that PD should have a focus on strategies that are relevant, include team collaboration and time to observe demonstration lessons. As a result, a 3-day PD was designed to focus on specific course content taught by teachers, opportunities to observe lessons, and team collaboration to design lessons. This project study affects positive social change via a PD training program with consistent, pertinent and content-specific support for math teachers in the classroom. Teachers will be more engaged in the process, students will be more engaged in their learning, and the community will benefit from increased student success. Effective PD has the potential to improve teacher practice, thus student learning, enabling student success in school and beyond. Successful students make successful adults who live independent, constructive and fulfilled lives.

The Israeli Ministry of Education launched the "Tomorrow 98" programme in 1994 to integrate computer-technology into the educational system. Training the teachers for this change was one of the main goals of the programme. This study examined the integration of computer-based technology of 167 ESL teachers who had participated in the course "Integrating Computers into the English Class" organised since 1994 by the Israeli Ministry of Education. This two phased study included a questionnaire sent to all the ESL teachers who participated in the course and in-depth interviews conducted with five teachers (three users and two non- users of computer technology in their teaching) and five leading figures in their schools (three computer coordinators who work in the users' schools and two school principals in whose schools the two non-users teach). The analysis of the findings shows that 70 per cent of the teachers who participated in the course integrate computer technology in their teaching. A majority of these teachers have changed their teaching methods both in the computer environment and the regular classroom. They enjoy working in the computer room more than in the normal classroom and believe that their learners feel the same. The teachers state that their main obstacles are lack of time and access. Technical problems ceased to intimidate them as they have learnt to overcome them with the aid of their learners or peers. Of the 30 per cent who do not use computers in teaching, 93 per cent use computers to prepare their lessons and worksheets. The main reason they do not integrate computers in their teaching is lack of access to computers in school. The study shows that school principals and school cultures have a distinct influence on the success or failure of computer integration in their schools. Collegial school management and supportive school culture encourage teachers to use computers in their teaching and to experiment new teaching methods. It is the hope of the researcher that this study will help teachers, principals, course developers, and other professionals working to integrate technology into instructional settings to understand the issues which accompany this process and lead it to success.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the training and development of teachers in multi-grade teaching in selected Eastern Cape primary schools with a particular focus on the integration of vertical and horizontal knowledge in post-training. Multigrade teaching is the combining of learners of different grade levels in one classroom taught by one teacher. To gain better understanding of the construct of vertical and horizontal integration of knowledge within post-training environment, this qualitative case study design sampled eight teachers, four school principals and three trainers, purposively. In order to evaluate the training and development provided for teachers in multi-grade classrooms the researcher examined the training programmes, the training curriculum and transfer of training inputs. The results of the study indicate that post-training is the determinant of the extent of the effectiveness of the transfer of training skills, knowledge and attitudes gained in multi-grade teaching training. The study found a massive gap that currently exists between training in multi-grade teaching and the actual transferability of such training in multi-grade contexts. Positive transfer of training in multi-grade teaching strategies was found to be skills related to teaching strategies, lesson management, curriculum integration and social components of multi-grade teaching. Negative transfer of training included classroom organisation, lesson planning, timetabling, curriculum adaptation and assessment. Although multi-grade teacher training programme is assumed to change behaviours, attitudes, impart knowledge and improve teaching skills, the results of the study indicate that training inputs might not necessarily transform into classroom practice. In order to facilitate and ensure vertical and horizontal integration of knowledge and skills and transfer of training to classroombased teaching, recurrent training in multi-grade teaching is therefore, suggested.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis’ main theme is the relationship between teacher training, distance education, ICT and community. These aspects of an educational practice are conceptualised within a hermeneutical approach as aspects of edukation. The thesis consists of eight articles. These are all related to one specific teacher training programme, in the thesis considered as being one demarcated social context, and treated as a single case. In articles I-III, different theoretical conceptions are elaborated upon both in relation to the discipline of Education (in Swedish Pedagogik), and in relation to the hermeneutical approach. Articles IV-VIII reports on the analysis of several data-gatherings, understood as being parts of an embedded case study. Teacher trainees on the programme have responded to a questionnaire, and have been interviewed. Teacher trainers organising the programme have been interviewed, and governmental and local policies concerning both teacher training and distance education were included. The data were gathered with the intention of enabling an understanding of the conditions through which the teacher trainees understand their societal commission, as a strive for upholding and developing legislated constitutive values, such as multiculturalism, equity, democracy and freedom. All in all, the aim of the thesis is to present an overall understanding of the process of edukation, the establishment of an educative relationship between the individual and the society in distance-based teacher training. The analysis points towards an understanding that emphasises the possession by trainees of competencies that include self-sufficiency, self-direction in their learning and self-confidence providing independence from their fellow trainees, their trainers and society at large. Being assessed primarily on an individual basis does not seem to encourage the trainees to take a collective responsibility for their learning. The trainees seem to associate the social dimensions in the programme primarily to feelings of being at ease, rather than to aspects of learning. Seen as an overall aspect of a process of edukation, the norms and values developed when the trainees negotiate meaning and values appear, in this context, to promote individuality. Additionally, this understanding seems to apply to aspects of democracy as well. Having been able to regard the teacher training programme from different theoretical positions over time, and to consider the teacher trainees and their studies as belonging to a learning community; the Online Learning Community that intersects the issues of learning and technology with the issues of values and society, one might ask; is this then a story of community? If the trainees’ views on education and learning stem from a sense of community, then it might be that of a community as a place of belonging. This could be why the trainees regard the sense of being at ease in the study-group as being more important than the aspects of learning in the study-group. Learning might incorporate conflicting views and contrasting standpoints that potentially challenge the study-group and their sense of belonging. Feeling at ease and taking an inclusive stance might then be one way of ensuring that the group provides what it promises: a safe and warm place. This could be contrasted with the way community implies a strong normative tendency to embrace while disciplining, or as the trainees put it; you may belong here if you adjust to the norms of the group. This in turn begs the question: what is the ethical stance taken in a community, society or study-group? In this thesis, one possible interpretation of this matter is provided.

This thesis defines and presents discipline-based art education curricula as defined by Greer 1983 for Nigerian Art Education Students. Current requirements in art education programs both in Nigeria and the United States are compared in order to more fully understand and develop this course of study. Attention is paid to the national goals and the inherent culture of Nigeria. An analysis of the curriculum of five colleges with discipline-based and education programs has been studied in order to determine a suitable outline of curricula for college teachers in Nigeria. It is concluded that Nigerian teachers, through this proposed program, will be exposed to the contemporary discipline-based approach to art education, and that Nigerian children taught by means of this approach will be able to gain a better understanding and appreciation of their artistically rich culture.

Full textAbstract:
This is a study of six elementary school teachers' personal constructs about learning. I used ethnographic methods to interview each teacher twice. The questions guiding this study are: How do these teachers believe learning happens? How clearly do they express these beliefs? And who are these teachers as learners themselves? My premise is that teachers must also be learners, and must be aware of their own learning if they are to help others learn. Besides being interested in whether or not these teachers were familiar with their beliefs, I was interested in their view of knowledge, whether constructivist (knowledge created by the learner) or objectivist (knowledge transmitted to the learner). I found that some teachers were more familiar with their beliefs about learning than others. This seemed to be related to the kinds of opportunities they had had for discussion and reflection: workshops and inservice sessions, or long-term training programs.

Full textAbstract:
This research explores the implications of the practice of collaborative professional enquiry on professional re-formation and development. A series of case studies focuses on four aspiring Chartered Teachers as they lead collaborative enquiries in two schools. The case studies take account of the experiences of the teachers in the collaborative groups, as well as the managers in both schools. Using a Foucauldian theoretical framework, relations of power between all participants are explored. This reveals that active positioning is in operation. The Chartered Teachers are positioned in an ‘in-between’ space: neither teacher nor manager, and this appears to have allowed them to construct and negotiate new possibilities, contributing to their developing professional identities. While this challenged the established hierarchies in schools, the teachers reported that undertaking collaborative professional enquiry under the leadership of the Chartered Teachers, benefitted themselves and their pupils, appearing to offer opportunities to demonstrate an active professionalism which was in contrast to the expectations of their managers. The findings raise several issues for consideration by the profession. These include a recommendation that collaborative professional enquiry is encouraged as a core pedagogical resource. The research also highlights the need for policy makers to take account of the way power is exercised in and on schools when developing new policies and evaluating the success of current ones. It is argued that genuine and open dialogue is necessary and it is recommended that the national CPD framework should reconsider the current practice of supporting distinctive pathways within the profession.
