Full textAbstract:
In this research I examined the implementation of the problem-based learning (PBL) approach, an innovation implemented as a part of the science education reform that Quebec, Canada, underwent in the last ten years. Throughout my research, I explore various approaches that three high school science teachers take in implementing PBL into their own teaching of the science curriculum. This research is focused on three detailed case-study of these teachers which includes interviews, classroom observations, co-creation and implementation of PBL units, examination of their concerns about the reform using the Sages of concerns model, and reflective journals. Four main findings emerging from the research are: (1) Teachers teach through some aspects of PBL but are unaware of the explicit mandate preventing them from creating lessons in accordance with this mandate. (2) Teachers are experiencing disconnect between the mandated PBL approach to teaching and the content-based mandatory final examinations. (3) Teachers cite a lack of proper financial resources, insufficient time and training as external barriers to the effective implementation of PBL. (4) Teachers cite personal resistance, lack of knowledge, training, and fear of the innovation as internal barriers. The barriers that teachers encounter emerging in this research can help curriculum developers in Quebec to have a better understanding of how to structure future reforms to ensure they are understood by the teachers. Exams mandated in Quebec should be structured in a way, which is more reflective of the curriculum currently employed, ensuring teachers see the value of the curriculum in relation to how the students will be evaluated.Dans cette recherche, j'introduis le concept d'apprentissage par la résolution de problèmes (ARP), une innovation appliquée comme faisant partie de la réforme en enseignement des sciences que le Québec, au Canada, a con¬nu au cours des dix dernières années. Au fil de ma recherche, j'explore diverses approches qu'ont utilisées trois enseignants des sciences au secondaire pour l'implémentation de l'ARP dans leur propre enseignement du programme de sciences.Cette recherche se concentre sur trois étude de cas détaillée de trois enseignants en sciences du secondaire, et comprend des entrevues, des observations faites en classe, la co-création et l'implémentation de modules d'ARP, des analyses Stages of Concern et un journal de bord contenant mes réflexions. Quatre découvertes principales ressortent de cette recherche : (1) Les enseignants intègrent certains aspects de l'ARP dans leur enseignement mais ne sont pas conscients du mandat explicite de cette approche, ce qui les empêche de créer des plans de cours conformes à ce mandat. (2) Les enseignants connaissent une certaine déconnection entre l'approche mandatée de l'ARP et les évaluations finales obligatoires de contenu. (3) Les enseignants mentionnent un manque de ressources financières convenables, de temps et de formation comme étant des obstacles externes à une implémentation efficace de l'ARP. (4) Une résistance personnelle au changement et une crainte face à cette nouvelle réforme incomprise sont mentionnées comme étant des obstacles internes. Les obstacles auxquels font face les enseignants qui sont ressortis de cette recherche aideront les concepteurs de programmes d'études du Québec à mieux bâtir de futures réformes, afin de s'assurer qu'elles soient bien comprises des enseignants. Les évaluations mandatées au Québec devraient être structurées de manière à mieux refléter le programme actuellement utilisé. Cela ferait en sorte que les enseignants saisissent la valeur du programme en relation avec la manière dont les élèves seront évalués.

selection, criterion and convenience sampling strategy was used. First, 17 high schools (4 private, 3 Anatolian, 6 regular, and 4 vocational) were determined in Ankara province, and then 17 English teachers, one from each school, were selected based on the predetermined criteria. Totally, 17 teachers and 17 administrators were included in the study. Observations, document analysis, and interviews were used to collect the data. The data were analyzed through content analysis. The data were categorized under emerged themes, general technology knowledge, planning, using, evaluation and assessment, personal purposes, attitudes, support, and wishes. The findings of the study indicated that private high school teachers perceived themselves more knowledgeable in technology knowledge than regular, Anatolian, and vocational high school teachers. In addition, the interview results showed that private high school teachers integrate technology into planning, instruction, evaluation and assessment, and professional development more than the other English teachers. When school resources and support mechanisms were compared, private high schools were in a better condition than public high schools. Finally, most of the administrators included in the study wanted teachers use available school resources in their lessons.

Full textAbstract:
Professional learning environments and professional development practices among educators throughout the United States have experienced a great deal of attention in the need for changes toward collaborative learning models and professional learning opportunities that engage in hands-on work focused on student learning and the growth of teachers’ practice to help students develop their ability to think critically. This qualitative phenomenological study explored middle and high school teachers’ and administrators’ previous professional learning experiences through the practice of School-Based Instructional Rounds and Student Shadowing. The research focused on exploring the impact, if any, on transforming teaching strategies that provide deeper learning experiences for students in college and career readiness. A transformative framework under the theory of Mezirow’s transformative learning theory and Knowles’s adult learning theory using a constructivist paradigm and grounded theory approach informed the exploration of worldviews from the data of this research study.
The participants who took part in School-Based Instructional Rounds included 8 high school and middle teachers and administrators in 3 school districts representing 4 Southern California schools. In-person interviews support the research findings in this study. The participants represented in the Shadow a Student Challenge consisted of school leaders and a teacher who work in public and private middle and high school districts in the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Rhode Island. Document analysis and personal interviews support the research findings of this study. Professional learning experiences of School-Based Instructional Rounds and Student Shadowing were explored within the lived experiences of teachers and administrators professional learning practices. Perceptions of deeper learning opportunities in middle and high school classrooms were examined, connecting professional development and the transformation of deeper learning instructional practices. This study will contribute to the body of literature on the value of implementing School-Based Instructional Rounds and the Shadow a Student Challenge as hands-on professional learning practices for teachers and administrators toward supporting the adoption of engaging, meaningful, and relevant strategies for 21st-century learning skills in middle and high school classrooms.

Full textAbstract:
Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) is considered innovative in foreign language teaching. However, the body of research on TBLT employment in vocabulary instruction is still modest. This study explored teachers’ beliefs and practices regarding vocabulary instruction using TBLT. This study examined such application among Vietnamese high-school EFL teachers (N = 60) using a mixed methods research design. Data were collected using online questionnaires.
Data analysis showed that 53.6% of the participating teachers associated vocabulary instruction with TBLT. However, regardless of their years as instructors, they still found it challenging to implement TBLT vocabulary instruction due to numerous factors. In fact, 66.2% of the participating teachers acknowledged a variety of constraints in applying TBLT, among which, exam-oriented curricula were reported as the biggest impediment.

The purpose of this study was to examine if there is an association between effective supervision and communication competence in divisions of student affairs at Christian higher education institutions. The investigation examined chief student affairs officers (CSAOs) and their direct reports at 45 institutions across the United States using the Synergistic Supervision Scale and the Communication Competence Questionnaire. A positive significant association was found between the direct report's evaluation of the CSAO's level of synergistic supervision and the direct report's evaluation of the CSAO's level of communication competence. The findings of this study will advance the supervision and communication competence literature while informing practice for student affairs professionals. This study provides a foundation of research in the context specific field of student affairs where there has been a dearth of literature regarding effective supervision. This study can be used as a platform for future research to further the understanding of characteristics that define effective supervision.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding nature of science (NOS) is an important learning objective of the science curricula in many countries. However, research shows that there is a large gap between the curriculum emphasis and classroom practice. There have been calls for more studies on how teachers can be better prepared for teaching NOS. This study examines what teachers have learned, how they have learned it and the factors affecting their learning in a teacher professional development (TPD) programme to prepare them to teach NOS. The study was conducted in 2008-10, when the new Hong Kong Senior Secondary Biology curriculum, with its emphasis on NOS, was introduced.
Three of the 18 teachers participating in the programme were chosen for in-depth case studies to illuminate their process of learning to teach NOS. Over a 20-month period, the teachers worked collaboratively to learn how to teach NOS in study group settings. Initially, the teachers were given curriculum materials designed for the explicit and reflective teaching of NOS. They selected, adapted and refined the curriculum materials to suit their own students. They then taught NOS to their students using the modified curriculum materials in their classroom, and the lessons were videotaped. These videos were later shared and analyzed collaboratively in study group meetings and workshops.
To monitor their learning, the teachers were asked to complete reflection tasks and follow-up interviews after participating in each of the TPD activities, including the trial teaching of NOS in their own classroom, reflecting on the lesson, reflecting on the lesson video, and discussing the lesson video with their peers. Using an interpretive approach, other data sources, including field notes from classroom observations, transcripts of teacher discussions in meetings and workshops, and interviews with individual teachers before and after the programme on their confidence and concerns about NOS teaching, were also collected for triangulation purposes, and for the production of individual case reports for each teacher.
It was found that the teachers had improved their NOS knowledge, NOS teaching skills, confidence as well as intention to teach NOS after participating in the programme. The process of learning to teach NOS can be characterized as lengthy, recursive and closely embedded in authentic classroom practices. Four major factors related to the TPD programme were identified as contributory to teachers’ learning to teach NOS. They are: (1) the formation of a community of practice with a shared goal to improve NOS teaching, (2) the provision of educative curriculum resources for explicit and reflective teaching of NOS, (3) first-hand experience of teaching NOS in authentic classroom settings, and (4) video-based discussions on NOS teaching in meetings and workshops. Based on the findings, an emergent model of effective use of video for learning to teach NOS was also proposed. The implications of the findings on the design of effective TPD programmes for learning to teach NOS were discussed.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study was to investigate teacher receptivity of a new curriculum, in particular, the new integrated curriculum of South Africa. As the New Revised national curriculum Statement is starting to be operational this year, Curriculum 2005 was used as a model of an integrated curriculum in this study. The study focused on the following sub-problems: the meaning of an integrated curriculum; teacher receptivity of an integrated curriculum; and the extent to which teachers are receptive of the new integrated foundation phase curriculum. The review of relevant literature provided a conceptual framework for the study. Six dimensions of a curriculum that were regarded as critical in classroom practice for practicing teachers were identified and used to describe an integrated curriculum. These were: platform, learning outcomes, content, instructional materials, teaching and learning strategies and assessment. The conceptual framework for teacher receptivity was also identified by means of review of relevant literature. Teacher receptivity was conceptualised as comprising of attitudes and behavioral intentions. The empirical part of the study was undertaken to determine the attitudes of teachers towards an integrated foundation phase curriculum and the extent to which foundation phase teachers were receptive of the new curriculum. The sample for the empirical part of the study included 63 foundation phase teachers randomly selected from 21 schools in Herschel District. The schools were randomly selected from 3 zones which had been randomly selected from 7 zones that make up Hershel Educational District in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Empirical data on teachers’ attitudes towards an integrated curriculum indicated that the majority of teachers were viewed the curriculum in an extremely positive light/somewhat positive light. There were responses which indicated that some teachers regarded the curriculum as complicated, restrictive, and idealistic. This situation is highlighted in their responses to the semantic differential on the attitude objects of the curriculum. Data on teacher receptivity indicated positive responses but vi there were some area of concern such as, for example, support from the district manager, school and the community. Data indicated that teachers were not so positive abut learning outcomes and assessment as a basis of teaching an integrated curriculum. Based on the empirical part of the study, conclusions and recommendations were made.

Full textAbstract:
With the newly designed curricula, the preparatory year of the Anatolian High Schools (AHS) was terminated while expanding its English program to four years. Within that context, utilizing semi-structured interview protocols this descriptive study aimed to bring an insight into the perceptions of parents, students, and teachers about the new AHS English program. Moreover, the perceptions of the participants on the materials provided by MONE and European Language Portfolio were also aimed to be revealed. Additionally, it was targeted to bring out what participants think about the applicability of the communicative language teaching, student-centered approach, and multiple intelligences, since they were stated in the foreign language curricula. While the population consisted of AHSs in Ankara, the sample of the study made up of 4 groups of parents, students, and teachers from 4 AHSs in Ankara. Each group consisted of 12 interviewees, which makes 36 participants in total. In selecting students and parents convenience sampling, and in selecting teachers purposive sampling was utilized.
Analyzing the data collected using content analysis the findings revealed that parents, students, and teachers do not favor the current English language practice in AHSs where preparatory class is terminated. Additionally, the findings showed that in order to learn English, preparatory class is a necessity either after 5-year or after8-year elementary education. Results also showed that all groups perceive English positively and support teaching and learning of the language. As for the perceptions of the participants on the materials, they expressed how insufficient they are in terms of teaching the language and in terms of practicing the language teaching approaches stated in the curriculum. Moreover, it was found that most of the participants did not know about the European Language Portfolio. Lastly, according to the answers, the English language teaching approaches stressed in the curriculum were difficult to be practiced in classes.

Full textAbstract:
Underachievement among secondary students in Tanzania is tragic: the failure rate on the national exams after the fourth year is between 65 to 100 percent (Mushi, 2011). The literature affirms that student learning is primarily improved by enhancing quality classroom instruction while the second most impactful strategy is consistent school leadership to ensure that effective practices are utilized in the classroom (Blase & Blase, 2004; Chenoweth & Everhart, 2002; Fink & Markholt, 2011; Leithwood, Louis, Anderson, & Wahlstrom, 2004; Leithwood, Harris, & Strauss, 2010; Marzano, Waters, & McNulty, 2005). Despite the research, the researcher's pilot study revealed that there is currently little or no oversight of classroom instruction in most Tanzanian secondary schools. This paradox yielded two research questions: 1. Can Tanzanian schools leaders improve the quality of classroom instruction in order to enhance student learning and performance by employing systematic, fair, and culturally relevant teacher evaluation techniques? 2. Are the teacher evaluation tools developed for American school systems suitable to serve the Tanzanian school system or must they be adapted into the Tanzanian cultural context?
Using a Problem-Based Learning [PBL] method, the researcher field-tested and refined The Curriculum for Training Secondary School Leaders, and a workshop in which it was taught. The workshop and its curriculum provided instruction in Evaluation and Supervision of Classroom Instruction (ESCI) to Tanzanian Head Masters and Mistresses (HMs), or as commonly referred to as principals in America, in an effort to develop their pedagogical leadership skills. During the workshop, HMs refined the American-designed evaluation tools to make them culturally relevant to a Tanzanian context. After attending the six-day intensive ESCI workshop, participants indicated in surveys that they felt capable of providing support and coaching to their teachers and capable of assisting teachers in their efforts to improve their pedagogical skills. The researcher provided additional workshops for teachers and HMs at their school sites to support educators in the implementation of ESCI. Qualitative research demonstrated teachers also had favorable post-workshop reactions to ESCI. Though the implementation of the product and training will be further assessed in 2014, the initial qualitative results from post-workshop surveys strongly confirmed that HMs developed confidence, skill, and competence in employing ESCI, thus increasing the likelihood that HMs would employ ESCI in their own schools in the year to come.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho foi desenvolvido dentro da linha de pesquisa "Fundamentos e Estratégias Educacionais no Ensino de Ciências e Matemática" que tem por objetivo: investigar, avaliar e pôr em prática estratégias educacionais, à luz dos fundamentos da educação. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a utilização da metodologia “Ilhas Interdisciplinares de Racionalidade” em torno do tema “As descargas elétricas no Brasil” na aprendizagem de estudantes de Ensino Médio. Esta proposta pretende ainda promover a aprendizagem ativa em ambiente investigativo e interdisciplinar por meio da construção de uma Ilha Interdisciplinar de Racionalidade (IIR). Busca também motivar os estudantes a estudar e compreender as Ciências e a Matemática desafiando-os a um comportamento investigativo. O problema de pesquisa veio ao encontro do seguinte questionamento: As Ilhas Interdisciplinares de Racionalidade podem promover a aprendizagem ativa, a interdisciplinaridade e a atitude investigativa dos estudantes do Ensino Médio, assim como desenvolver a Alfabetização Científica e Tecnológica (ACT)? No ano letivo de 2013, uma IIR foi aplicada na disciplina de Física com uma turma de terceiro ano do Ensino Médio em uma escola estadual de Caxias do Sul, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, no terceiro trimestre do ano letivo como um projeto-piloto e reaplicada com o mesmo tema no primeiro semestre do ano letivo de 2014 com outra turma de terceiro ano do Ensino Médio da mesma escola. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido com base na proposta de Gerard Fourez na perspectiva de proporcionar aos estudantes uma Alfabetização Científica e Tecnológica, observada a necessidade de tornar os conteúdos científicos significativos para os estudantes, bem como úteis para suas vidas. A teoria de aprendizagem escolhida para fundamentar as evidências de ocorrência de aprendizagem por parte dos estudantes devido à aplicação da metodologia foi a Teoria da Aprendizagem Significativa de David Ausubel. Tanto em 2013 quanto em 2014, os estudantes demonstraram predisposição para aprender, participando ativamente das atividades que foram sugeridas no decorrer do desenvolvimento da IIR. Os estudantes tiveram a oportunidade de analisar e discutir sobre as principais consequências causadas pelas descargas elétricas no Brasil, do ponto de vista social, econômico, ambiental e científico. Este fenômeno está em constante estudo por pesquisadores do nosso país. Estudos do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) mostram que caem 57 milhões de descargas elétricas por ano no Brasil, um recorde mundial. O desenvolvimento da IIR incentivou o comportamento investigativo e a pesquisa, promovendo a utilização de tecnologias digitais e propondo a contextualização e a interdisciplinaridade de maneira simples, com naturalidade, levando em conta os conhecimentos prévios dos estudantes. Os mesmos atingiram os objetivos da Alfabetização Científica e Tecnológica de acordo com a perspectiva da metodologia, demonstrando domínio da situação estudada, autonomia na produção do conhecimento e facilidade na comunicação da situação pensada. Os estudantes procuraram relacionar os conteúdos científicos com as situações vivenciadas no seu cotidiano. A análise das observações e das produções dos estudantes permitiu verificar que os mesmos foram mais ativos e criativos no processo de ensino aprendizagem, conseguindo apropriar-se dos conteúdos em torno do tema de maneira interdisciplinar. Os estudantes demonstraram também evidências de uma aprendizagem significativa de acordo com a teoria de Ausubel.Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-09-14T16:34:06Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Elisiane da Costa Moro.pdf: 3801053 bytes, checksum: 7dce501b4dc470bf152e5a41da60a1e5 (MD5)

This work was developed within the research area "Educational Foundations and Strategies in Science and Mathematics Teaching" which aims: to investigate, evaluate and implement educational strategies in the light of education foundations. The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of the methodology "Interdisciplinary Islands of Rationality" about the theme "The electrical discharges in Brazil" in high school students’ learning. This proposal also aims to promote active learning in investigative and interdisciplinary environment through the development of an Interdisciplinary Island of Rationality (IIR). It also seeks to motivate students to study and understand Science and Mathematics challenging them to an investigative behavior. The research problem met the following question: can the Interdisciplinary Islands of Rationality promote active learning, interdisciplinarity and investigative attitude of high school students, as well as to develop Scientific and Technological Literacy (STL)? In the academic year of 2013, a IIR was applied in the Physics course to a class of third year of high school in a public school in Caxias do Sul, state of Rio Grande do Sul, in the third quarter of the school year as a pilot project and, applied again with the same theme in the first semester of the school year of 2014 with another third grade class of high school in the same school. This work was developed based on the proposal of Gerard Fourez that aims to provide to the students a Scientific and Technological Literacy, considering the need to make scientific contents meaningful for students, as well as useful for their lives. The learning theory chosen to support the evidence of the occurrence of learning by the students due to the application of the methodology was the Theory of Meaningful Learning by David Ausubel. Both in 2013 as in 2014, students demonstrated willingness to learn, actively participating in the activities that were suggested during the development of the IIR. Students had the opportunity to analyze and discuss the main consequences caused by the electrical discharges in Brazil, from the social, economic, environmental and scientificpoint of view. This phenomenon is in constant study by researchers of our country. Studies of the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) show that 57 million electrical discharges fall per year in Brazil, a world record. The development of the IIR encouraged the investigative behavior and the research, promoting the use of digital technologies and proposing the contextualization and the interdisciplinarityin a simple and natural way, taking into account the previous knowledge of students. They reached the goals of Scientific and Technological Literacy according to the perspective of the methodology, demonstrating mastery of the situation, autonomy in the production of knowledge and good communication of the thought situation. The students attempted to relate the scientific content with the situations experienced in their daily lives. The analysis of the observations and the productions of the students has shown that they were more active and creative in their learning process, managing to appropriate of the content about the theme in an interdisciplinary way. Students also showed evidences of a meaningful learning according to Ausubel’s theory.

This dissertation presents a directed research for History teaching in the High School and a work offer that favors learning through interdisciplinary projects, because it makes oneself respected which that methodology type puts young people and teachers before challenging educational practices. Objectives of this work: to examine the History discipline role in integrated projects, to analyze as they contribute to make the significant historical knowledge and to contribute to the thoughtful individuals training to their reality. The theme of this research is concern about the relevance of History classes for High School students. It investigates the integrated projects contribution, as an alternative to a significant learning in History, and the starting point is the experience analysis and presentation of a school. The sample consists of narratives from 88 students and two teachers involved with the project “Family Relations Ransom – where I live and where I came from”, fulfilled in 2011. For that analysis it chose itself the indicators perspective of a significant learning, presented by Seffner. It follows that the interdisciplinary activities break disciplines frontiers and defenses among people. For that, it is necessary attitude and posture interdisciplinary by teachers.

Full textAbstract:
Esta dissertação apresenta uma proposta para desenvolver e implementar situações de ensino-aprendizagem, utilizando a compostagem e a agroecologia como dinamizadores da Educação Ambiental continuada no currículo escolar, em duas escolas municipais de Pinhais, Paraná. Buscando formar futuros cidadãos responsáveis e comprometidos com os destinos e a qualidade ambiental da comunidade em que vivem, foram desenvolvidos temas de aplicação prática da compostagem e dos princípios de Agroecologia como dinamizadores da Educação Ambiental. Estes temas foram explorados de forma transversal visando a abordagem holística da relação homem, natureza e sociedade. Os temas tratados foram: compostagem - utilizando três técnicas diferentes; metodologias de ensino- aprendizagem aplicadas como germinação de feijões; cuidando do presente da mamãe – vasos de temperos; e organizando a horta escolar. Cada metodologia foi desenvolvida com as turmas do ensino fundamental de 1o ao 5o ano, em duas escolas municipais de Pinhais, totalizando 805 alunos e 49 professores atuando e participando do processo. Foi realizado um levantamento dos conteúdos curriculares e suas respectivas áreas do conhecimento, do ensino fundamental do município de Pinhais, a fim de identificar as relações entre os temas transversais e de como poderiam estar sendo trabalhados de forma multi e interdisciplinar. Como resultado identificou-se que a técnica de compostagem utilizando gaiolas foi a que melhor se adaptou à dinâmica escolar. Quanto as dinâmicas aplicados propostas pela pesquisa, após analisadas e comparadas com os conteúdos curriculares e áreas do conhecimento, demonstraram uma grande possibilidade de aplicação interdisciplinar. Isto demonstrou que o tema abordado de forma transversal possui aderência com o currículo e permite a dinamização da Educação Ambiental neste sentido. Quanto ao tema organizando a horta escolar, verificou-se que se faz necessário ter um servidor que esteja voltado a planejar, implantar, cuidar e organizar os temas transversais e suas práticas, para que os projetos possam de fato ser executados na escola. Da forma como a estrutura está posta atualmente, os professores não possuem condições de desenvolver projetos e temas transversais para a Educação Ambiental, por apresentarem uma sobre carga horária grande para vencer os conteúdos curriculares tradicionais, e por se sentirem inseguros em relação aos temas ambientais e suas implicações de desenvolvimento prático.This dissertation present one proposal to develop and implement teaching situations, using composting and agro ecology as a dynamic way to environmental education in the school resume, in two municipal schools from Pinhais, Paraná. Searching to form future citizens responsible and compromised with the destiny and the environmental quality of the community that they live, have been develop themes of practice application of composting and the principles of agro ecology as dynamic ways to the environmental education. This themes were explore in a transversal way looking the holistic approaching of the men relation, nature and society. The treated themes were: composing – using tree different techniques; teaching methodology – apply learning as beans germination; caring about the mothers present – vessels of spice; and organization the school gardem. Each methodology was develop with the elementary school classes, in two municipal schools from Pinhais, totalizing 805 students and 49 teachers acting in the process. Have been realized a survey about the resume contends and their respective knowledge area, in the elementary teaching in the municipality of Pinhais, trying to found the relations between the transversal themes and how it could be work in an interdisciplinary way . As a result was noted that the composing techniques using cages have been the ones that have better adapted to the school dynamic, and presented results Satisfactory in relation of C/N of 11/1, in six months of composing. About the propose dynamics apply by the research, after analyze and compared with the resume contents and areas of knowledge, had demonstrate a big possibility of interdisciplinary application. This had demonstrate that the addressed theme in a transversal way has adherence as the Resume and allow a dynamic environmental education in this way. About the theme organizing the garden, it is noticed that is necessary to have a server that is face to planning , implementing, taking care and organizing the transversal themes e it practices, so the projects could in fact run in the school. In the way that the structure is post annually, the teachers don ́t have conditions to develop projects and transversal themes to the environmental education, for presenting one about huge workload to win the traditional resume contends, and for feel insecure in relation to the environmental themes and it implication of practical development.

Full textAbstract:
O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o papel das ações interdisciplinares na formação do conceito de escala do estudante. Para isso, investigou-se, a literatura e os livros-texto sobre o assunto, assim como a posição dos docentes e a legislação estabelecida pelos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais sobre o tema. A pesquisa insere-se na linha de Epistemologia e Linguagem, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade de Caxias do Sul, coordenado pelo Professor Doutor Jayme Paviani e orientada pelo Professor Doutor Francisco Catelli que trabalha na investigação de abordagens alternativas no ensino de ciências. No primeiro capítulo é feita uma análise do objeto de pesquisa, "escala", buscando-se elementos na história da Matemática e da Física e relacionando-os com a Educação, especialmente com a construção do conhecimento. No segundo capítulo é realizada uma investigação na literatura sobre o conceito de interdisciplinaridade, consultando principalmente autores como Jayme Paviani e Olga Pombo, a fim de examinar a presença da noção de interdisciplinaridade no processo de construção do conhecimento. No terceiro capítulo procura-se identificar o processo de construção, leitura e interpretação do objeto escala na perspectiva dos professores de matemática e de física do ensino médio, verificando suas concepções sobre esse objeto e em que ele contribui para a formação do aluno. Observou-se, antes mesmo do início desta pesquisa, que o objeto escala não estava suficientemente esclarecido ao aluno de Ensino Médio que, frequentemente, apresenta dificuldades em construí-la e interpretá-la. Procura-se então responder à pergunta: "Que argumentos ajudam a sustentar o encaminhamento de ações interdisciplinares no ensino de escalas e medidas no Ensino Médio?" Buscando compreender a forma com que o objeto escala está sendo desenvolvido, foi feita uma análise de alguns livros didáticos de matemática e física distribuídos aos professores e alunos das escolas públicas de Ensino Médio pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático. Para conhecer o posicionamento dos professores sobre a forma com que o conceito de escala é trabalhado, foi feita uma entrevista semi-estruturada com um grupo de docentes que trabalha rotineiramente com esses livros. A partir da análise das respostas procurou-se verificar como eles acreditam que o aluno aprende, não apenas esse conceito, mas as definições fundamentais para a formação do estudante, e, se acreditam que ações interdisciplinares possam promover a melhoria na apreensão de conceitos. Através desta pesquisa foi possível perceber que os conceitos de escala e de medida são vistos, muitas vezes, apenas como ferramentas e não como formas de comunicação e representação. Esses conceitos não pertencem a uma disciplina somente, justificando a necessidade da presença da interdisciplinaridade, conceito pouco desenvolvido no contexto escolar atual. O presente trabalho tem como relevância científica a percepção da necessidade de se ampliar o campo de visão da ciência, extrapolando o conhecimento de apenas uma disciplina e interagindo com outras áreas. Além disso, esta investigação é relevante pedagogicamente na medida em que pretende contribuir para o preenchimento de uma importante lacuna existente no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de Matemática e de Física, a saber, a consciência limitada, por parte de alunos e professores, do caráter inerentemente interdisciplinar dos conceitos de escala e de medida, caráter esse que dá a elas a devida amplitude.Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-06-02T17:37:03Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Marcia Fernandes.pdf: 791355 bytes, checksum: efd11c66de5608e3bc74efdade4b156a (MD5)

The current paper aims to analyze the role of disciplinary actions in shaping the formaction of the concept of the scale of the student. In order to do so, the literature, didactics about the subject, the position of the docents who work in the areas and the legislation established by the National Curricula Parameters were investigated. The research is held in the line of Epistemology and Language, of the Post Graduation Program in Education at the University of Caxias do Sul, coordinated by Professor Doctor Jayme Paviani and monitored by Professor Doctor Francisco Catelli who works in the investigation of alternative approaches in the teaching of sciences. In the first chapter an analysis of the research object, "Scale", is made in order to search for elements in the history of Mathematics and Physics and relate them with Education, especially concerning the of knowledge building. In the second chapter an investigation on the literature about interdisciplinarity is held, consulting mainly to authors Jayme Paviani and Olga Pombo, to examine the presence of the concept of interdisciplinarity in the construction of knowledge. In the third chapter the aim is to identify the process of building, reading and interpretation of the scale object in the perspective of mathematics and physics teachers of high school, verifying their conceptions about this object, and in what it contributes on the pupils´ formation. It was observed even before the beginning of this research that the scale object was not clear enough for the High School student who often has difficulty in building it and interpreting it. It was then necessary to answer the question: "What arguments give support of implementation of actions interdisciplinary teaching of scales and measures in high school?" In order to understand the way in which the scale object is being developed, an analysis of didactic materials was made, having books of Math and Physical aproved in the National Program of Didactic Book, and delivered for teachers and students of public high schools selected as samples.So that we could find out the positioning of the docents about the way the concept of scale is worked, a semi-structured interview was conducted with a group of mathematics and physics teachers who work with these books every day. From the analysis of their answers it was verified how they believe their pupils learn, not only this concept, but the fundamental definitions of the student´s formation, and, if they believe that interdisciplinary actions can foster the improvement in grasping concepts. Through this research it was possible to notice that the concepts of scale and of measure are often seen only as tools and not as ways of communication or representations. These concepts do not belong to a unique subject, that is why the interdisciplinarity is needed, a concept which is not enough developed in the school context. The realization of the need to broaden the view camp of science gives scientific relevance to the research, going beyond the knowledge of only one subject and interacting with other areas. Furthermore, this investigation is pedagogically relevant as it intends to contribute for the bridging of an important gap existing in the process of teaching-learning of Mathematics and Physics, the limited awareness of teachers and pupils of the inherent character of the concepts of scale and measure, a character that gives them the due extension.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates how teachers from different disciplines understand and implement education for sustainable development in their teaching. A nationwide questionnaire study was conducted with 3229 upper secondary school teachers representing 224 schools in Sweden. The concept of sustainable development is complex and research has shown that teachers exhibit uncertainties in their understanding of it, and that the way they conceptualize sustainable development can have consequences for how they incorporate it into their teaching. Previous research has emphasized that Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) should promote interdisciplinary and holistic learning rather than traditional subject-based learning. This is in accordance with the Swedish curriculum, which emphasizes that all teachers in all subjects should integrate education for sustainable development. The teachers in the study were grouped into four disciplines; science-, social science-, language-, and vocational/esthetical-practical teachers. The results showed that there were many subject-bound barriers to successful implementation of ESD. Teachers were influenced by their subject tradition in: 1) how they understand sustainable development, 2) which teaching methods they use, 3) which barriers they experience, and 4) which teaching tradition they work within. Because of these differences it is important to adjust any further training of teachers according to their discipline. This study highlights the need for improved teacher education and further training of in-service teachers; more than 70% of the teachers stated that they need such training. It also highlights the issue how strong subject-bound traditions make it difficult to implement general goals of the curricula such as sustainable development.

Acompanha: Temas ambientais no ensino da química: tratamento de água de abastecimento, estudo dos solos e fontes de energia: material do professorEsta pesquisa teve como objetivo elaborar um recurso educacional, contendo propostas de temas ambientais para o ensino da disciplina de Química do primeiro ano do Ensino Médio. A escolha dos temas ambientais se deu após análise dos três livros didáticos mais utilizados no universo das 30 maiores escolas estaduais de Curitiba e Região Metropolitana, o que levou à avaliação dos temas ambientais, segundo as seguintes categorias: temas conectados ao conteúdo programático; temas não conectados ao conteúdo programático e temas que apresentam conexão com outras disciplinas. Os dados da referida análise proporcionaram a elaboração de quatro tabelas, as quais elencam os temas ambientais apresentados nos livros volume um dos três autores analisados, a relação desses temas com o conteúdo programático do primeiro ano do ensino médio, os assuntos (água, energia, atmosfera, resíduos e materiais tóxicos e litosfera) que abrangem os temas apresentados e, por último, as sugestões interdisciplinares baseadas nos temas apresentados. A escolha dos temas ambientais utilizados na elaboração do recurso educacional foi baseada em dois aspectos: temas ambientais de grande relevância para a humanidade e/ou temas que aparecem com menor frequência nos livros didáticos analisados. Os temas selecionados e abordados no recurso educacional são: Tratamento de água para abastecimento, Contaminação radioativa do solo e Fontes de energia. As propostas de trabalho sugeridas no recurso educacional estão embasadas nos pilares da contextualização, temas geradores e interdisciplinaridade, em uma proposta que incentiva o educando a buscar o conhecimento a partir da pesquisa e do debate. O recurso educacional foi distribuído nas escolas que fazem parte do universo dessa pesquisa, acompanhado por um questionário a ser respondido pelo professor de Química que trabalha com o primeiro ano do Ensino Médio. O questionário objetivou verificar o grau de importância da aplicação de temas ambientais para o professor e com que frequência ele utiliza esses temas em suas aulas; a opinião do professor em relação aos temas ambientais tratados nos livros didáticos e a opinião com relação ao recurso educacional elaborado no que tange à conexão com o conteúdo programático para o primeiro ano do Ensino Médio. Também se buscou avaliar se os temas desenvolvidos estão adequados para os alunos do primeiro ano e se as sugestões de abordagem interdisciplinar são suficientes para a aplicação no processo ensino e aprendizagem. Após a análise das respostas dadas ao questionário, é possível inferir que os professores consideram importante a abordagem ambiental nas aulas de Química, mas utilizam pouco dessa abordagem. Os professores dividem-se na questão da adequação dos temas ambientais contidos no livro didático ao conteúdo programático da disciplina. Praticamente 90% dos professores responderam de forma positiva à aplicação do recurso educacional, declarando que as propostas estão condizentes e conectadas ao conteúdo programático do primeiro ano do Ensino Médio e que permitem uma ampla abordagem interdisciplinar.
This research aimed at developing an educational resource for Chemistry teaching, including proposals for the teaching of environmental issues for the first year of high school. The choice of the specific environmental issues occurred after analysis of the three textbooks most used among 30 public schools in Curitiba and its metropolitan region. The environmental issues were analyzed and classified under the following categories: themes connected to the curriculum; topics not connected to the program content and themes that have connection with other disciplines. From this analysis, data was organized in four tables which summarize the environmental themes presented in the first volume of each author’s book, and relate them to the first year of high school curriculum, to the main issues (water, energy, air, waste and toxic materials, and lithosphere) associated with the presented topics and; in addition, we propose interdisciplinary didactic suggestions based on the topics presented. The choice of environmental themes used in this educational didactic resource was based on two aspects: environmental issues of great importance for humanity and/or themes that appeared less frequently in the textbooks which were analyzed. The selected topics addressed in the educational didactic resource are: drinking water treatment, radioactive contamination of soil, and energy sources. The suggested educational resource is based in the pillars of contextualization, generating themes and interdisciplinarity, in a proposal that encourages the students to seek for knowledge based on research and debate. The educational resource was distributed in schools that took part in this research, accompanied by a questionnaire to be answered by the first year of high school chemistry professor. This questionnaire aimed at verifying: the importance of applying environmental issues in teacher’s opinion, and how often teachers use these themes in their classes; the teacher's opinion in relation to environmental issues discussed in textbooks; and teacher’s opinion regarding both the educational resource developed in this work and its connection to the curriculum of high-school first year. We also sought to assess whether the developed themes are suitable for first-year students and if the interdisciplinary approach proposed was suitable for application in the classroom. After analyzing the replies to the questionnaire, it can be inferred that teachers agree with the importance of an environmental approach in chemistry class, yet they do not often follow this approach. With respect to the adequacy of the environmental topics contained in the textbooks with the syllabus of the course, teachers have mixed opinions. Nearly 90% of teachers responded positively to the implementation of the proposed educational resource, declaring that is consistent and connected to the curriculum of the first year of high school, and that it allows a broad interdisciplinary approach.

Full textAbstract:
Acompanha: Ciência e arte na sala de aula e atividadesEste trabalho se propôs a repensar o ensino de alguns tópicos da óptica a partir das relações entre ciência e arte, entendidas como expressões humanas inseparáveis e instrumentos de compreensão do mundo. O referencial teórico possibilitou reflexões sobre o processo ensino-aprendizagem, sobre as relações entre Ciência a Arte como áreas do conhecimento humano construídas sócio historicamente e sobre o papel da criatividade e da imaginação no ensino de ciências. Baseando-se nestas relações, foi desenvolvida uma unidade didática alternativa para transposição de conceitos da óptica geométrica no ensino médio. A intervenção teve como concepção norteadora a pedagogia dialógico-problematizadora de Paulo Freire e se utilizou dos três momentos pedagógicos Estudo da Realidade, Organização do Conhecimento e Aplicação do Conhecimento, que são proposição dos pesquisadores J.A. Angotti e D. Delizoicov. Foi desenvolvida em três etapas e envolveu seis turmas de três colégios estaduais em Curitiba. O tema gerador foi a Arte Urbana (especialmente o grafite), presente no universo dos nossos educandos. A discussão gerada abordou o conceito de Ciência e a problematização foi feita utilizando-se a tela “An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump” (1766), de Joseph Wright of Derby. A estratégia de pesquisa foi do tipo observação participante e o tratamento de dados pelo método comparativo constante. Os dados foram obtidos no estilo cooperativo e a categoria geral definida para análise foi a das “Perspectivas tidas pelos sujeitos”, pois esta é consoante com a concepção freiriana de educação centrada nos sujeitos envolvidos e suas vivências. A pesquisa possibilitou concluir que são promissoras as possibilidades de incrementar o ensino de Física numa abordagem que busque reflexão sobre o papel da Ciência na construção coletiva e histórica do conhecimento, enriquecida pelas suas relações com a Arte; tanto na dimensão pedagógica quanto na acadêmica de pesquisa.
A summary of the stages of a qualitative research on Education, developed at UTFPR, Brazil, is presented. The purpose of this work is to rethink Education on some topics of Optics, on the basis of the relationship between Science and Art, which are understood here as inseparable human expressions and representations of the world. Based on this relationship, an alternative didactic unit was developed, aiming the transposition of concepts on Geometrical Optics in high school. The intervention was based on the dialogical and problem-posing approach due to Paulo Freire, and it was applied to six classes at three State high schools in Curitiba. The generative theme was Street Art, ubiquitous in the universe of students. The generated discussion involved the concept of Science and questioning was made using the painting “An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump”, by Joseph Wright of Derby (1766). The research strategy was participant observation, and data were processed by constant comparative method. The data were obtained from the cooperative style and the general category set for analysis was that of “Perspectives taken by subject”, since this is consonant with the Freirian conception for education centered on the involved subjects and their experiences. The research made it possible to conclude that the possibilities are promising to increase the teaching of Physics in an approach that aims to reflect on the role of science in building collective and historic knowledge, enriched by their relationships with art; both in pedagogical and academic research.

Full textAbstract:
Integrated curriculum reform in China is meant to change the traditional teaching culture. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the education authority should implement the reform in a gradual manner and takes cultural changes into consideration. It is also essential to support the reconstruction of teachers' beliefs and their professional identities.The education system of Mainland China has been dominated by the discipline-based curriculum. One of the major curriculum reform initiatives launched in September, 2001, is curriculum integration. Two new integrated curricula, "Science" and "History and Society" are implemented in junior secondary schools in the experimental zones. The ideology and teaching approach of these new integrated curricula differ from teachers' usual classroom practices. To what extent are the integrated curricula implemented? How have teachers' beliefs changed? What are the factors shaping these changes?
The study reveals that the deep and core belief of teachers is very stable. The factors influencing teachers' belief changes included the personal experience of teachers, the school environment and the societal context. During the reform, teachers were trapped in two contradictory discourses, one treasured humanistic values fostering personal growth, while the other emphasized standard examination and competition. Facing two paradoxical educational value stances, teachers experienced serious conflicts in their educational beliefs, and their professional identities were challenged. The changes of belief reflect the process of adapting and adjusting to their new roles in the education system.
This study, from a cultural-personal perspective, aimed to show teachers' beliefs and their changes. In this study, two schools and fourteen teachers were chosen to be studied. Ethnographic research methods, including in-depth interview, field observation and document analysis were adopted to inquire into teachers' collective daily experiences, their beliefs and their changes, and factors shaping the changes in beliefs.

The research takes resource class teachers in a junior high school in Taichung city for subjects, aiming at discussing both of the situation in carrying out Inclusive education and the difficulty. The research uses Qualitative Research Method, gaining the subjects’ inner viewpoints by deep interview, then summarize and analyze them according to their background with hoping to realize the true need and expectation of special education teachers who are close to teaching students. Different from most of foreign and domestic documents which focus on general education teachers, the research proposes the conclusion and advice which are based on the standpoint of special education teachers. Hope it could be a reference or advice for related departments when improve every measure or revise adaptable strategies in the future.

"Transitioning Science Teachers to an Inquiry-Based Approach to Develop Critical Reasoning Skills in High School Students." Doctoral diss., 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.49083.
Full textAbstract:
abstract: To develop critical reasoning skills potentially advances students' ability to critically consume information, make informed decisions, and actively participate in a democracy. An inquiry-based pedagogical approach to science teaching remains an effective means to develop critical reasoning skills. Participating in scientific inquiry requires students to generate arguments and test alternative hypotheses using experimental evidence. Scientific inquiry demands that students use their critical reasoning skills. Unfortunately, many teachers fail to allocate an adequate amount of time for genuine experimentation in science classes. As a result, science classes often leave students unprepared to think critically and apply their knowledge in a practical manner.
The focus of this study was to investigate the extent to which an inquiry-based professional development experience, including a two-day summer workshop and 18 weeks of follow up Professional Learning Community (PLC) support, affected the attitudes and pedagogical skills regarding scientific inquiry among six high school biology teachers. A concurrent mixed methods, action research design was used to measure changes in teachers' attitudes, perceptions, and skills regarding inquiry-based pedagogy was measured throughout the 22 weeks of the study. A survey instrument, card sorting activity, classroom observations using the Reformed Teacher Observation Protocol (RTOP), individual interviews, and PLC observations were used to gather data. Results indicated the professional development was effective in transforming the participating teachers' attitudes, perceptions, and skills regarding inquiry-based pedagogy.Dissertation/Thesis

Choiniere, Barbara Anne. "The Complexities of the Work Experiences of Urban Middle School Teachers on Interdisciplinary Teams: An In-Depth Phenomenological Interview Study." 2010. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/open_access_dissertations/227.
Full textAbstract:
There are about 16,000 middle schools in the United States; the half million teachers who teach in them affect the academic and emotional lives of about a hundred students while working cooperatively with an array of adult personalities and endeavoring to cover the curriculum. Although research has been conducted on many components of the middle school, an in-depth look at teachers’ experiences with the concept is missing. The purposes of this study were to explore three ideas: the complexities of the work experiences of teachers who participate on interdisciplinary teams in urban middle schools, the possible interactions of the structures and principles of the middle school philosophy with their work lives, and how the reality of interdisciplinary teams connect to the ideals in the middle school and organizational theory literature. I conducted three in-depth phenomenological interviews with 15 urban middle school teachers. Teachers shared their teaching experiences, life histories (to put their experiences in context), and how teaching fits in with their lives. Subject matters, ethnicities, ages, and years experience varied. They came from 9 schools in 5 school districts in the Northeast. I include a brief history of how the junior high morphed into the middle school. The “ideal” practices, programs, and philosophy of the middle school and teaming (as defined by middle school and organizational theory literature) are explained and then contrasted with the realities. Results indicate that the “ideal” characteristics, as described in the literature, do not exist in all urban middle schools. Teachers lamented their absence and described their frustrations with student behavior, colleagues, administrators, and state testing. They also shared the joy they find in seeing their students progress, giving back to the community, and making a difference in students’ lives. I propose that these rewards make up for the incredible difficulties they face daily. I conclude that teachers need team planning time to implement the middle school characteristics and overcome the difficulties of teaching urban students, which include transience, absenteeism, poverty, lack of familial support, and a belief that being smart is “lame.” I also propose increasing community involvement and providing alternative schools.
