Full textThis mixed methods research investigated the relationship between student and teacher perceptions of five motivational components of instruction—appeal, challenge, choice, meaningfulness, and academic self-efficacy—and how teachers’ knowledge of their students’ perceptions informed their reflection on the quality of instruction. The Student Perceptions of Classroom Quality (SPOCQ; Gentry & Owen, 2004) and Teacher Perceptions of Classroom Quality (T-POCQ; Seward, 2016) survey results of students with gifts and talents (n = 306 for a total of 518 administrations of the SPOCQ) and teachers (n = 23 for a total of 39 administrations of the T-POCQ) who participated in a summer academic enrichment program were analyzed. Significant negative but weak correlations existed between these two groups in appeal and meaningfulness, and their perceptions did not significantly correlate on challenge, academic self-efficacy, and choice. The strengths of all five correlations are weak. Ten teachers who represented various demographic groups participated in guided reflection interviews during which teacher and student survey results were compared. Teachers who did not hold degrees in education and/or lacked previous teaching experience felt a tension between content and motivation, viewing teaching as delivering content efficiently, not necessarily motivationally. All teachers perceived that they provided choice but were surprised when their students’ perceptions suggested otherwise, causing them to reevaluate their actual use of choice in instruction. Overall, teachers valued the addition of the student perspective during their reflections, indicating that it shifted their focus away from the content and learning activities toward the social-emotional aspects of learning. In addition, teachers valued guided reflection with a supportive peer as it kept them focused, helped them “think through” the data, and provided a sounding board for potential instructional improvement. Implications for instructional practices and professional development in other K-12 settings are discussed in the summary.

Full textThe aim of this research was to understand the integration process (appropriation) of the micro-computer in the family life. It means that i want to situate the family organization possible disruption and, further, to analyse how the mc could be the basis for the social rules rebuilding through peculiar uses and symbolical universe. The main work hypothesis can be summarizedas follow: the domestic micro-computer can't only be considered as a functional tool, nor is its acquisition a unique factor of differenciation and short-term social promotion. It is included in a familly normative logic. It correspond to a general project, just as well as a social or cultural, individual or collective, professional or play activity. Each member of the family invests his hopes, fears and waits in this tool. The mc, through the technical and symbolical appropriation, obtains the status of a transitional (by focusing the family problems) and incitative object. So it finally contributes to the family structure recomposition, the personal rules reconstitution, the individual identity reconstruction

Full textAlthough development assistance is meant to reduce the gap between industrialised and developing countries, africa which has long benefited from this aid has not yet taken off and remains poverty-stricken. However, with the end of the cold war and increasing globalization, the main issue is no longer that of the volume of aid but that of its efficiency, and the united states has chosen a pragmatic approach to maximize the profitability of its assistance. Recent and still modest, american assistance to africa has remained selective and takes into account strategic, political and cultural data. It targets both english-speaking countries and a number of francophone ones, such as senegal which now ranks first among the united states' francophone partners in subsaharan africa. However, this has not led to a questioning of senegal's privileged relationships with france. This thesis first explores the issues at stakes and the main features of american assistance to subsaharan africa before focusing more specifically on the case of senegal

Full textThe aim of this research is to tackle and understand the Conseil d’Etat’s court’s decisions motivation which are often criticised. Fundamental notion in procedural law, motivation is an argumentative discourse expressing a jurisdictional technique but moreover it is specifically a discourse trying trough a legal reasoning to justify a decision in order to convince the audience. Thus we shall have to analyse its architecture and its functions in a dynamic perspective. Either way we can note that since the beginning of the 21st century the court’s motivation has evolved.This phenomenon is the result of the Europeanization and the complexity of the normative production and is also due to enhanced protection of the fundamental rights, legal certainty and the Conseil d’Etat’s wish to promote a communicational policy in order to legitimise its action. This research entails to revisit certain traditional topics such as jurisdictional syllogism, argumentation, interpretation, the motivation’s style or the normative jurisprudential power to both note and measure this evolution

Full textGenerating ideas is something that is done in a lot of different industries. To be able to generate ideas, some techniques can be used, and these techniques may involve different kinds of social settings. Some techniques demand that the participant generates ideas on an individual basis, whilst other demand a group. There is research about the different kinds of techniques that can be used so there is a good academic foundation, but there has not been a lot of research on the effects of mixing these techniques. To create a greater basis for knowledge about the usage of one or multiple techniques during one ideation session have interviews been held with different kinds of professionals involved with creativity and ideation as well as a literature review. This, in turn, has led to a greater knowledge about ideation.

Full textRaising tomorrows democratic citizens is one of the main purposes of education. In the subject of civic education pupils get an opportunity to learn about and to get an understanding of society and its functions and inhabitants. Motivation is a positive factor for knowledge development and the aim of this thesis is to contribute with knowledge about pupils´ opinions on motivational and learning techniques in the subject of civic education. To answer the thesis aim, framing of questions has been made about pupils´ opinions on motivation and how lessons should be designed to increase knowledge development in the subject of civic education. The focus of this thesis is motivation and knowledge development in the subject of civic education in school years 4–6, and the theoretical framework is the sociocultural perspective in which communication and knowledge development in social contexts are fundamental. The thesis data were collected through focus group interviews which is a qualitative method. The data from the interviews were then transcribed and analyzed in three different steps; coding, categorizing and conceptualization. The result shows many factors that motivate pupils and increases their knowledge in the subject of civic education. Some of these factors were interactive learning, pictures and films. How teachers act in the classroom was also something that the pupils felt had a significant impact on their motivation and knowledge development. The pupils described many factors, both positive and negative ones, which have an impact on their motivation and their knowledge development. These factors should be considered when designing lessons in the subject civic education.

Full textExperts’ “outreach” is a two-dimension element. First dimension is organizational dimension, which contributes to core competencies development. Second one is individual dimension, which leads to experts’ intrinsic motivation.Experts’ outreach is the parallel of scientific reputation used for researchers. It can be defined as “a personal and organizational element to appreciate experts’ reputation, which changes with expert’s career development. Outreach can take place inside or outside the organization and also allows to measure expert’s impact on his / her scientific community”. The integration of outreach in experts’ management practices can contribute to improve practices, which need some renewal. The ambition is not to resolve all the already identified problems, but to bear a new perspective on the experts’ management practices. The research aims to study both dimensions of experts’ outreach, linked with the firm performance. A multiple case study is realized to analyze four big industrial firms. The link between outreach and firm performance depends on outreach integration within all the strategic levels of the organization, it means general strategy, strategic human resources management and operational management. To conclude, experts’ outreach contributes to improve experts’ management practices, on a long-term perspective. It allows firms to identify and anticipate their needs of experts’ competences

Full textThis thesis presents a diagnosis of the impacting factors in the learning process regarding students of a business school in the city of São Paulo. These students have demonstrated academic performance and level of involvement below expectations. The theoretical framework considers the need of learning and mobilization concepts of Bernard Charlot; the way Marco Antonio Moreira understands meaningful learning; the three dimensions of learning and its obstacles pointed out by Knud Illeris; the importance of Involvement highlighted by Astin, the concept of learning environment according to Astin and Antonio; and the relevance to learn that Vera Lucia Felicetti gives to commitment. Based on the main question: Which factors are important to mobilize business students to learn? , the objective of this work is to identify the key factors encouraging or limiting mobilization to learn the content related to Business Administration. It is an exploratory research using mixed approaches, such as field study and documental field surveys. The data collection was done using an online questionnaire that was answered by 144 enrolled students, and consistence cross-checking was made using documental data from 194 graduates from the first semester of 2014. Data were tabulated and classified by gender, period and semesters. The diagnosis shows that students appear to study for the test but not to learn. The tabulated data indicates that the students do not properly associate commitment to engagement. In spite of the existing commitments, the proper engagement was not taken into account, based on related behaviors such as: poor reading level before classes, low involvement and participation in the classes, susceptibility to distracting factors and rates of performance, absence, repetition and school evasion. Two of the analyzed factors were identified as critical factors to the students lack of mobilization to learn, commitment and teaching techniques
Essa tese apresenta o diagnóstico dos fatores que impactam no aprendizado do aluno do curso de graduação em Administração de uma IES da cidade de São Paulo. O alunado tem apresentado resultados acadêmicos e nível de envolvimento abaixo das expectativas. O referencial teórico considera a necessidade de aprender e os conceitos de mobilização para a aprendizagem de Bernard Charlot; a forma como Marco Antonio Moreira entende a aprendizagem significativa, as três dimensões da aprendizagem e seus obstáculos considerados por Knud Illeris, a importância envolvimento destacada por Astin, os conceitos sobre o ambiente estudantil de Astin e Antonio e a importância do comprometimento na aprendizagem dada por Vera Lucia Felicettti. A partir da questão principal: Quais fatores são relevantes na mobilização do aluno do curso de graduação em Administração para a aprendizagem? , o objetivo do trabalho é a identificação dos fatores que facilitam e/ou dificultam as ações de mobilização para a aprendizagem de conteúdos relacionados ao curso de graduação em Administração. Pesquisa exploratória com abordagem mista e uso dos métodos estudo de campo e de levantamento documental. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de questionário eletrônico junto a 144 alunos dos semestres letivos e verificação cruzada com o histórico dos 194 formandos 2014-1. Os dados foram tabelados e correlacionados por gênero, período e semestres. O diagnóstico mostra que o aluno parece estudar para a prova, não para aprender. Os dados tabulados indicam que o aluno não associa de forma adequada compromisso e comprometimento. Apesar dos compromissos existentes, o comprometimento efetivo não foi considerado, a partir dos comportamentos declarados de: baixo volume de leituras previamente às aulas; pouco envolvimento na participação em aulas; suscetibilidade a fatores de distração e nos níveis de faltas, notas, reprovações e evasão escolar. Dois dos fatores analisados foram identificados como críticos à falta de mobilização para a aprendizagem, comprometimento e prática didática

Full textSchool failure continues to increase in France, as well as the gap between the lowest and highest performing pupils (PISA 2003, 2006, 2009, 2012). Reading is a complex activity that requires mastering conjointly two skills, word identification and meaning understanding. Word identification is the main cause of reading difficulty: the code that binds oral and written information must be understood as being based on conventions, and the pupils who cannot access to symbols encounter difficulties in this understanding. In the present work, we have developed a new learning device that makes clear to children the relationships between oral and written syllables. This device comprises a representation of the writing system and material that enables to manipulate phonogrammes. To this end, we have included an additional step within a reading and writing method, the identification of pseudo-words, that is to say, of “signifieds” (plausible words) without “signifiers” (no corresponding referee or meaning). In order not to neglect the understanding dimension at the beginning of the learning phase, oral stories were presented to the children. They were extracted from an album of 30 chapters in which the heroine, a young witch, attributes meaning to these pseudo-words through her magic spells. In the training phase, the pseudo-words (associated with its signifier) are presented inside various reading - identification and understanding - and writing activities. Our specific training had the expected positive effects in unselected grade 1 elementary pupils from areas of prioritary education. These effects concerned mainly the identification and production of words, without adverse effects in other aspects of writing

Full textBased on a microsociological research, this thesis points out the existence of a bilateral relationship between an organizational form and the characteristics of a professional group. The most recent organizational changes in the engineering department of a worldwide firm have noticeably altered the characteristics of the engineers' working situations. Although traditionally considered as impossible to rationalize, today the engineers' technical activities can be specialized, planned, affected by a strong process of standardization and controlled in several ways. These changes have occured in a context of a cross-functional organization, raising contradictions and uncertainty. Consequently, individuals adopt different ways to deal with opportunities and constraints provided by the context according to their position in the structure, but also according to their previous career paths and their social multi-positionning. Precisely, the feminization and the diversification of qualification inside the professional group are thus made decisive in the understanding of what is going on within the organization. The different ways of acting then play a part in strengthening some structural characteristics and developping weak social links within the organization like punctual commitments and a conditional and hypothetical solidarity between individuals. Actually, under such conditions, four types of working commitment are triggered: involvement, contribution, consent and withdrawal. They are the expression of several models of social success, which means that the relationships to time, work and organization are now the determining factors in the segmentation of the professional group

Full textThis research approaches the problems in relation to training in the process of e-learning. It raises the question of the self-directed learning’s power in this type of training situation. The human teaching mediation and the technological mediatization are both in the center of the concerns. This research is an approach, through the design even of instruments of investigation, to the concepts :control, autodirection, autonomy, effectiveness, competence, self-determination in relation with the engagement. Competences and readiness scales related to the adults’ self-training are also observed. One proposes to observe motivational directions and the engagement’s reasons in relation with the perception of oneself as self-directed learners in a context of self-training. Our reflections also relate to the concept of Alterdidacticism in opposition to the self-educated steps, to the Autodidacticism in a context of adults’ self-training.

Full textEste relatório tem por objetivo o estudo da formação e desenvolvimento, que se revela essencial para o sucesso de qualquer organização. A escolha deste tema deveu-se ao facto do estágio, inserido no Mestrado em Gestão de Recursos Humanos, ter sido realizado no Departamento de Desenvolvimento e Formação da Câmara Municipal de Lisboa. Deste modo, foi necessário estudar todas as componentes no âmbito deste tema, começando-se pelos conceitos de formação e desenvolvimento. Estes conceitos são importantes para se compreender todo o processo de formação e desenvolvimento nas organizações e, desta forma, fazer uma ponte da teoria para a prática, durante os três meses em que o estágio decorreu. Para o efeito, abordaram-se os conceitos, métodos e técnicas de formação, ciclo formativo, motivação para transferir os conhecimentos na formação, diferenças e semelhanças entre empresas públicas e privadas, sendo ainda importante realçar que o estágio foi realizado numa empresa pública. Por fim, considerou-se necessário fazer uma avaliação do impacto da formação ao curso Lisboa Interativa Módulos Gerais (Lxi), leccionado na modalidade de e-learning, como meio de conhecer as perceções dos formandos acerca desta formação.
The aim of this report was the study of the training and development which is essential for the success of every organization. This theme was chosen due to the fact that the internship inserted in the Human Resources Master?s Degree was done in the Development and Training Department of the Lisbon?s City Council. This way, it was necessary to study all the components of this theme starting by approaching the concepts of training and development which are important in order to understand the whole process of training and development inside organizations and with this establish a bridge between the theory and practice during the 3 months of internship. For that were approached concepts of training, methods and training techniques, training cycle, motivation in order to transfer the training knowledge, differences and similarities between public and private enterprises, emphasizing the fact that the training took place in a public enterprise. At last, it was necessary to evaluate the impact of the training of Lisboa Intertativa Módulos Gerais (LXI) lectures through e-learning in order to understand the perceptions of the interns relative to the training programme.

Full textThe psychological characteristics that predict behavior and job performance, as assessed by an individual psychological assessment (IPA), have been the subject of a large number of studies. These studies have influenced the importance given to certain characteristics by I/O psychologists qualified to conduct this type of assessment (Morris, Daisley, Wheeler, & Boyer, 2015). However, little is known about the psychologists’ practices when providing feedback following an IPA and the behavioural effects of feedback on the participants returning to work. According to Plunier (2012), only 20% of the latter modify their behaviour and undertake developmental actions in the direction of the feedback received, regardless of the assessment context and the recommendation that results (Boudrias, Bernaud, & Plunier, 2014). A question arises: under what conditions does IPA feedback promote behavioural integration among participants? This dissertation aims to document certain conditions that maximize the behavioural integration of feedback, operationalized by behavioural changes and engagement in developmental activities. A set of conditions and variables is added to the feedback integration model proposed by Boudrias et al. (2014). Theses variables, discussed in two empirical articles, are the psychologists’ techniques focused on the development, the social support for development from a significant individual (e.g. supervisor, colleague, family member) perceived by the participants as well as the number and difficulty of the competencies to be improved. In the first article, relying in particular on the theory of goal setting (Locke & Latham, 1990), we postulate that the psychologists’ techniques focused on the development (Lessard, 2019) will predict the participants’ motivational intention to change. It is expected that the intention will in turn predict behavioural integration (Boudrias et al., 2014), but that this relationship will be moderated by social support for development. Theses hypotheses were verified with 240 participants in a real IPA context using structural equation modeling. The results show that the motivational intention to change mediates the relationship between the psychologists’ techniques and social support, while social support mediates the relationship between motivational intention and developmental activities. One possible explanation is that seeking social support is a learning strategy used by participants who want to change (Haemer, Borges-Andrade, & Cassiano, 2017). The goal setting theory (Locke & Latham, 2015) suggests that there will be an interaction between the difficulty of the competencies to be improved and the number of competencies targeted during the feedback. In the second article, we test the hypothesis that this interaction will predict the motivational intention to change in the direction of feedback and the behavioural integration of feedback. To do this, we performed moderated hierarchical regression analyses on a sample of 65 participants for which we analyzed IPA reports specifying the targeted competencies in the feedback. The results show that the relationship between developmental difficulty and intention is positive when the feedback provider addresses three deficient competencies or fewer. The relationship between developmental difficulty and developmental activities is positive when the feedback provider presents only one deficient competency while it is negative when the provider presents nine deficient competencies. The theoretical contribution of each of the articles as well as the practical avenues for intervention arising therefrom are discussed separately and taken up in an overall conclusion. Limits and proposals for future research are also discussed in this last section.

Full textThe term serious game refers to games that have a bigger impact than entertainment and have been growing over the last years. Serious games usually are developed for a target audience and a target teaching goal. This results in a high cost development for a small audience. One of the most relevant problems in serious games is the need to adapt and balance the game, this balance is restricted to one person and it can't be extrapolated to a bigger audience, turning the small audience to just a few peoples.In order to have an efficient control of learning, it is necessary to understand the latent relation between the cognitive capacity, motivation and performance of each person. The more personalized the material given to each student, the better their learning will be, because the balance is tailored to your needs.Machine learning, especially reinforcement learning (RL) can be used for automated NPC behaviour generation and it can be applied to an agent that controls the difficulty of a game in an unknown, unsupervised environment. For that reason, the application of algorithms like Q-learning may help on the creation of personalized learning curves in a game.The broad objective of this thesis is exploring how Artificial Intelligence can help monitor and adapt a game in real time to a player's needs and profile. Specifically, we want to study the state-of-the-art in the context of serious games as well of adaptative games. We aim to create a game with real time adaptation in the area of Mathematiques, that can create a reliable profile of any player inside our target audience and adapt to the needs of that profile. Ideally, this will be the next step on e-learning and serious games development as we can expand our audience to a bigger number with the same resources. There is a broad range of work in serious games and how they are the answer to motivate the students, however it is need to keep a flow state in the student for better results. Some papers also explore how AI can help with these questions but there is no concrete answer to this need and no definite study of how to do it. Nonetheless, the research work help us define some parameters need for the success of this dissertation work. This work starts by analysing the state of art in education and games, as well AI adapted to these games. After there will be the layout and plan of the game design that was made with the help of an expert.

Full textThe term serious game refers to games that have a bigger impact than entertainment and have been growing over the last years. Serious games usually are developed for a target audience and a target teaching goal. This results in a high cost development for a small audience. One of the most relevant problems in serious games is the need to adapt and balance the game, this balance is restricted to one person and it can't be extrapolated to a bigger audience, turning the small audience to just a few peoples.In order to have an efficient control of learning, it is necessary to understand the latent relation between the cognitive capacity, motivation and performance of each person. The more personalized the material given to each student, the better their learning will be, because the balance is tailored to your needs.Machine learning, especially reinforcement learning (RL) can be used for automated NPC behaviour generation and it can be applied to an agent that controls the difficulty of a game in an unknown, unsupervised environment. For that reason, the application of algorithms like Q-learning may help on the creation of personalized learning curves in a game.The broad objective of this thesis is exploring how Artificial Intelligence can help monitor and adapt a game in real time to a player's needs and profile. Specifically, we want to study the state-of-the-art in the context of serious games as well of adaptative games. We aim to create a game with real time adaptation in the area of Mathematiques, that can create a reliable profile of any player inside our target audience and adapt to the needs of that profile. Ideally, this will be the next step on e-learning and serious games development as we can expand our audience to a bigger number with the same resources. There is a broad range of work in serious games and how they are the answer to motivate the students, however it is need to keep a flow state in the student for better results. Some papers also explore how AI can help with these questions but there is no concrete answer to this need and no definite study of how to do it. Nonetheless, the research work help us define some parameters need for the success of this dissertation work. This work starts by analysing the state of art in education and games, as well AI adapted to these games. After there will be the layout and plan of the game design that was made with the help of an expert. After that the exploration of the integration of Q-learning algorithms within the game we provide some alterations to the normal Q-learning. Finally there is the analyse of the data collected from the target audience and conclusions.

In recent years, online group-buying is the latest issue on Internet. With widespread use of internet and development of web 2.0, people share consuming information frequently through the community websites. People gather the purchase quantity to increase the bargaining power in order to get more discounts through the internet. Therefore, online group-buying becomes a popular consuming model. According to the research by Institute of Information Industry (III), 18.5% people purchase online with group at least once per month. Furthermore, the usage of this kind of consuming model is increasing annually. In order to figuring out the consuming phenomenon, this research used Critical Incident Technique (CIT) to study the consumer motivation and satisfaction during the buying process. Based on different initiators, the study divided online group-buying into two models: consumer initiator model and non-consumer initiator model, and used CIT to classify 60 samples. In consumer initiator model, the result indicated that consumers join group-buying online for five motivations, and they are satisfied by four factors. In non-consumer initiator model, the result shows that consumers join group-buying online for four motivations, and they are satisfied by three factors.

Drama-based pedagogy has been successfully applied within many language contexts, and numerous studies have shown evidence of how drama techniques can be used to lead a student-centered class. However, this technique has received considerably less attention in primary school English learning due to limitations of the educational system in Taiwan. The objective of this study is to investigate how drama techniques influence students’ learning motivation and oral performance in a second-grade class. Two groups of participants were selected to conduct this study: (i) an experimental group to which drama techniques were applied and; (ii) a control group to which conventional teaching methods were applied. Quantitative and qualitative measurements, including motivational questionnaires, oral tests and teachers’ observations, were used in the data collection process in order to address the questions posed in this paper. The results of the study show that the intrinsic and integrative motivation of participants increased significantly in the drama-based class. Although there was no significant difference in oral performance between the two groups of participants with respect to language structure and vocabulary, the pronunciation and fluency of those in the drama-based class showed great improvement. Based on teachers’ observations, participants with low motivation began using active learning skills over passive learning skills in the drama-based class.

Full textStorytelling is an ancient cultural practice. In addition to the intergenerational dimension, it has a very significant impact on the psychosocial development of children, in particular at the level of reasoning, imagination and creativity (Dohme, 2000). In the pre-school education, the practice of storytelling occupies a fundamental place, not only due to the recognition of its benefits in the development of children. The objective of this work was to understand the relationship between the various techniques of storytelling and the motivation and the engagement of a group of children belonging to the 4-year room of a private institution of pre-school education. It was used qualitative methodology, in particular the case study, and different types of instruments for data collection: observation, semi-structured interviews and questionnaire surveys. The use of different storytelling techniques, the diversification of those techniques and the selection of the history, were the most crucial factors in respect of the relation between motivation and engagement of children in that activity. In this investigation, we found the techniques that were more favourable to the motivation of the children were the use of «puppets» and «digital media», and the most favourable to the engagement were the use of «book», «puppets», «drama» and «digital media»

Full textO ensino em grupo apresenta-se hoje como um importante contributo para uma maior motivação dos alunos na aprendizagem do instrumento musical, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de entreajuda, bem como de partilha de conhecimentos e experiências. Por outro lado, no contexto da disciplina de flauta transversal, a formação artística dos alunos pode ser fortalecida através de abordagens diferenciadas, tais como, a inclusão de técnicas estendidas - técnicas não-tradicionais, que permitem a produção de novas sonoridades no instrumento. Esta abordagem poderá despertar no aluno a curiosidade e o interesse pela disciplina, tornando-se pertinente a sua aplicação no ensino, como forma de auxiliar os alunos a desenvolverem as suas capacidades no instrumento, fortalecendo a produção sonora, bem como o controle muscular e respiratório. O presente Relatório de Estágio debruça-se sobre a temática da abordagem de técnicas estendidas no contexto do Ensemble de Flauta Transversal, no âmbito do Mestrado em Ensino de Música da Universidade do Minho e em resposta à realidade observada ao longo do Estágio Profissional, realizado na Academia de Música José Atalaya, local de implementação do Projeto de Intervenção. Este projeto assentou em dois principais objetivos: o primeiro, prendeu-se com o incentivo da prática instrumental em conjunto; o segundo, centrou-se em estimular a prática de técnicas entendidas na Flauta Transversal em alunos do ensino básico e secundário do ensino vocacional da música. Para cumprir os objetivos referidos procedeu-se à criação do Ensemble de Flauta Transversal da Academia de Música José Atalaya, constituído por 10 alunos compreendidos entre o 2º e o 8º graus. Neste âmbito realizaram-se aulas de grupo semanais, em que foram trabalhadas, entre outras, obras com recurso a técnicas estendidas, bem como realizadas apresentações públicas, que proporcionaram aos alunos a demonstração do trabalho efetuado. Como elementos de avaliação deste Projeto de Intervenção, elaboraram-se dois questionários, um aplicado no início e outro no final da intervenção, que permitiram concluir que o projeto teve resultados amplamente positivos em vista dos objetivos inicialmente traçados.
Nowadays, group teaching delivers an important contribution to greater Student's motivation in learning the musical instrument, contributing to the development of mutual support strategies and sharing knowledge and experience. On the other hand, in the context of the flute discipline, students' artistic training can be strengthened through differentiated approaches such as the inclusion of extended techniques – sounds that are not part of the traditional sonority of the instrument. This approach may spark students' curiosity and interest in the discipline, becoming relevant to its application in teaching, as a way to help them develop instrumental skills, strengthening sound production, and also at muscular and respiratory control. This internship report focuses on the approach of extended techniques in the context of the flute ensemble, under the scope of the Master´s Degree in Music Education of the University of Minho and in response to the reality observed throughout the Professional Internship held at the Music Academy José Atalaya, place where the Intervention Project was implemented. The present study is based on two main objectives: at the first the aim is to encourage the instrumental practice in group; the second focuses on stimulating the practice of the extended techniques understood in flute in primary and secondary school students from the Vocational Music Education. In order to fulfil the goal, a transver ensemble was built at the Music Academy José Atalaya, consisting of 10 students between the 2nd and 8th music grades. In this way, group classes were weekly held (in which were worked, among others, the use of extended techniques), as well as public presentations, which provide students the demonstration of the work done. As a starting point for the implementation of this Intervention Project, two Questionnaires had been established, one applied at the beginning and the other at the end of the intervention, which led to the conclusion that the project had largely positive results taking into account the objectives initially set.
