Abstract:

Advanced Placement Statistics Teaching Knowledge Assessment Increasing student enrollment in high-school level Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics courses necessitates the need for teachers who are knowledgeable in the subject-area. However, no benchmark has been established that describes the amount or types of teaching knowledge that is required, or even desirable, of AP Statistics teachers. More specifically, there does not exist a criterion of reference to determine if an AP Statistics teacher does or does not possess the content-specific knowledge necessary to teach the subject. Therefore, a teacher may possess sufficient knowledge to teach mathematics but be deficient in the subject-specific knowledge necessary to teach AP Statistics.

This study had two main research goals. The first was to design an Advanced Placement Statistics Teaching Knowledge (APSTK) online assessment to investigate the content and pedagogical knowledge of secondary-level, in-service AP Statistics teachers. The second goal was to explore the relationships among individual teacher assessment scores and teacher characteristic variables including educational background, years of experience teaching AP Statistics, and a self-reported percentage of student success on the AP Statistics exam.

There were three primary methodological phases included in this study. Phase I consisted of item development and item-level analysis based on responses from a national sample of current AP Statistics teachers. Phase II consisted of completing a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to evaluate the results of a measurement model and structural model using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Phase III consisted of a multiple regression analysis to determine which teacher characteristic indicator variables predicted APSTK latent variable score (LVS).

Phase I resulted in a modified assessment with nine AP Statistics Content Knowledge (APSCK) and five AP Statistics Pedagogical Content Knowledge (APSPCK) multiple-choice items. Phase II produced a measurement model with acceptable fit, and proved that items designed to measure APSCK and APSPCK fit well within the model. In addition, a structural model produced good fit, and showed evidence that APSCK was a more reliable construct than APSPCK. However, APSPCK was found to be a stronger predictor of overall APSTK. Phase III concluded that a linear combination of teacher characteristic variables was a significant predictor of APSTK LVS. Specifically, the self-reported "Student Success on the AP Statistics Exam" variable was the only statistically significant variable in predicting APSTK LVS.

Abstract:
Trainees on the Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS) Graduate Employed Pathway are graduate practitioners working in the school or Private, Voluntary and Independent (PVI) sectors of early years services. On this one-year pathway, trainees undertake a placement in the alternate and unfamiliar sector to complement their workplace practice. There is little published research on teachers’ lived experience of placement in early years services with children aged between 0-5 years. This longitudinal study sought to address gaps in the research literature by focussing on the placement experience for EYTS trainees using a novel approach of combining Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) with creative methods and semi-structured interviews. Five trainees represented their lived experience through multi-dimensional models using Lego and playdough. I discuss my findings in relation to two worlds, a world of learning and development that promotes a predominantly relationship-based pedagogy, partially overlapping with a world of schooling that promotes a predominantly readiness-based pedagogy. The trainees’ perceptions of commonalities and differences pertaining to enactments of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) (DfE 2014) suggest that these two distinct worlds exist, despite a single statutory framework, indicating that the historical split in early years services in England continues today. The findings suggest a dichotomy of professional identity for EYTS trainees that rests on the different teaching cultures of each world. This dichotomy troubles the current policy concept of a single graduate practitioner successfully teaching across the different worlds. The study has implications for professional practice in the field of early years, specifically for the preparation and support of EYTS trainees undertaking placements. Wider implications include the need for greater clarity and guidance in early years policy.

Abstract:
A longitudinal study followed a cohort of students through the Bachelor of Education (Honours) degree course, the main route to primary teaching at the University of Strathclyde. The main purpose was to determine the extent to which the school experience element met the expressed aims of the course, in particular, the aim of developing reflective practitioners, which is the model of the teacher that underpins the four-year course. In the first year of the study, baseline data was gathered from students in all four years of the course, their faculty tutors, supervising teachers and those members of staff in school holding the remit for students. First year students formed the basis of the longitudinal study, with data gathered through questionnaires and interviews over the subsequent three years. This data was supplemented by an analysis of students' self-evaluation reports and 'good practice' interviews with a sub-sample of supervising teachers. The findings indicate that the major ity of students experienced a primarily apprenticeship form of preparation for the teaching profession, rather than a reflective practitioner model. While considerable opportunities were provided within the structure of the course for the acquisition and exercise of skills of reflection and critical analysis, other factors influenced the extent to which these were realised. These included resources, and the ways in which teachers and tutors interpreted their roles and responsibilities as supervisors. Consideration is given as to how these might be addressed in order to provide a professional workforce of reflective practitioners might be realised within the current framework of pre-service primary education. More fundamentally, issues of professionalism, government policy changes and the changing context of professional education generally, support the argument that the Scottish BEd, in its present form, is unlikely to support the development of the reflective primary despite the professed aims of its designers.

Abstract:
While research in gifted education has been conducted in specific curriculum areas such as language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and fine arts, there is a paucity of literature connecting gifted and world language education. While world languages historically were elective courses at the high school level, attracting college bound students, world language credit requirements for high school graduation or college admission have expanded, encouraging enrollment in Advanced Placement world language courses for a broader range of learners. Since Advanced Placement options are still the current face of gifted services at the secondary level, there is a need for differentiated pedagogy in AP classrooms for secondary gifted learners, a need often not addressed (Hertberg-Davis, Callahan, & Kyburg, 2006). In most states AP teachers are not required to be trained in gifted education instructional practices, and their perceptions toward gifted students are unknown. This survey research study collected data from Advanced Placement world language teachers regarding their perceptions of high ability world language students and self-assessed use of differentiated instructional approaches. Instrumentation included the Gagne and Nadeau (1991) scale of teacher perceptions toward gifted students, the William and Mary Classroom Observation Scale-Revised (VanTassel-Baska, Avery, Struck, Feng, Bracken, Drummond, & Stambaugh, 2005) which assessed teacher behaviors with respect to differentiation practices, and a researcher-created questionnaire which collected participant demographic data. In this descriptive study, findings indicated teachers held somewhat positive attitudes toward providing needs and support for gifted students and the social value of gifted persons in society. Teachers held ambivalent attitudes about the instructional practice of ability grouping, the rejection of gifted students by others, and the practice of actively advocating for gifted learners. Teachers reported somewhat negative attitudes toward the instructional practice of appropriate acceleration. Findings further revealed limited teacher use of differentiated strategies in the AP classroom, limited teacher training in gifted education pedagogy, yet a positive relationship between high and low student achievement and teachers' training background in gifted education. Implications for practice from this study focus on the need for gifted education training for Advanced Placement world language teachers on the characteristics of high ability students and differentiated instructional practices that are found to be effective for increased student achievement. Specifically, professional development is needed for teachers that address (1) differentiated curriculum for the gifted with an emphasis on remodeling AP curriculum to meet high ability student needs, and (2) the use of advanced instructional practices with specific information regarding effective delivery and classroom management techniques. Implications for research include the need for more studies on AP teachers' attitudes and practices in relation to gifted learners and a set of studies focusing on effective instructional practices for teaching world languages.

School Psychology

Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are spending greater amounts of time in inclusive classroom settings. The perceptions of teachers regarding the educational placement of children with ASD are a critical topic of study, since teachers are primarily responsible for the implementation of inclusion (Soodak, Podell, & Lehman, 1998). While there is a substantial research base that has examined the attitudes of teachers about inclusion, less research has focused on ASD that compared the attitudes of general and special education teachers. As reported in the literature, there are multiple barriers that prevent successful inclusion, particularly in high-poverty, urban districts. Since teachers are key stakeholders in decision-making processes for students' educational placement, their attitudes are important to assess as they may act as either barriers or facilitators of inclusion. These high-stakes decisions inevitably alter students' trajectories in terms of developmental outcomes, and therefore warrant further examination. Identifying teachers' specific resource needs is also crucial in determining how to make inclusion more successful for this population of students. Two similar surveys were developed and administered to 27 Autism Support (AS) and 28 general education (GE) teachers who presently had students with ASD in their classrooms. The surveys included quantitative items presented through a Likert-type scale, as well as open-ended items. They were designed to gather information on teacher demographics, students' current and recommended placement, teachers' perceptions of child and context-related variables found in the literature to impact inclusion, and resource needs. Overall, both AS and GE teachers felt their current students' placement was appropriate, though AS teachers' ratings of appropriateness were significantly lower. AS teachers reported they were likely to recommend more time in the general education setting for a majority (70%) of their students with ASD. While GE teachers believed a majority of their students (86%) should be included for most or all of the school day, they recommended less time in general education for 27% of students. GE teachers also expressed more concerns about the functioning of their students with ASD than they did about their own ability to teach those students or aspects related to the classroom context. AS teachers, on the other hand, felt less confident in the supportiveness and prior experience of the general education teachers at their school, whereas they felt their students were prepared to meet general education classroom demands. For both groups of teachers, their beliefs about child-related factors were associated with their recommendations for more time in an inclusive classroom. Identified barriers at the classroom and school-wide levels differed significantly for AS and GE teachers, with AS teachers focused more on skill development among general educators, and GE teachers indicating a greater need for external supports (e.g., classroom assistants, paraprofessionals). AS teachers also indicated a need for a more inclusive climate and greater acceptance than did GE teachers. Findings provide insight into the unique perspectives of AS and GE teachers, in terms of their perceptions of inclusion and their identified resource needs. Results indicate that the survey measures had good internal consistency α = 0.86) and a factor structure that clustered roughly as intended, despite the small sample size. Thus, this measure may be a valuable tool for use in future research on this topic.

Abstract:

Teacher preparation programs are facing increased pressure to report on the outcomes of their graduates, including their job placement rates. Prior research on job placement for teachers establishes that a variety of factors are related to whether or not individuals apply for and receive jobs. This research study explored these factors through quantitative analysis of three cohorts of teacher preparation program completers within the institutions of the University of Maine system, using logistic regression to identify the individual and contextual characteristics that are most predictive of job application and hiring.

Of the factors studied, the most influential factors in job placement in public schools in the state were (1) in-state residency status, (2) preparation in a teacher shortage area, (3) completion of a post-baccalaureate preparation pathway, (4) receipt of financial assistance that requires completion of future teaching service, (5) institution attended, (6) GPA relative to other graduates, (7) year of graduation, and (8) age at the time of completing the program. However, these combined variables provide less than 20% of the potential predictability in job placement outcomes. This suggests that additional work is needed to identify the factors influencing beginning teacher placement. Job placement rates for preparation programs should be interpreted with caution, as at least some of the related factors are not within the control of preparation programs (e.g. year of graduation). Furthermore, the use of job placement rates to make high-stakes decisions may provide incentives to programs to implement policies that may not be ethical (such as preferential admission of younger applicants) or that may not be advisable for other reasons.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research study was to gather data on a sample of technology teacher candidates in order to determine how many graduates with a technology teaching endorsement actually entered the teaching profession. In addition, data were collected to investigate the attrition rate of the same pool of candidates. For those who left the education profession, the study also examined how long these individuals taught before leaving as well as investigated the reasons these individuals decided to leave the technology teaching profession. For those who have remained in the teaching profession this study also explored their reasons for remaining in education. In addition, data were collected regarding how many technology teaching candidates remained within the state of Utah as well as how many have accepted positions outside of the state of Utah. To accomplish these tasks, a survey instrument was designed to gather employment data from Technology Teacher Education (TTE) graduates of Brigham Young University over the last 14 years. There were 189 technology teacher education graduates from 1994-07. Contact information was located and compiled for 148 of the 189 graduates; therefore, the results of this survey were calculated using the 148 graduates with current contact information. Of the 148 potential participants in this study, 110 (74%) of the TTE graduates responded. From the responses of the 110 TTE graduates the following was determined. There were 85 of those who responded that entered the teaching profession; 84 of those graduates entered within two years of graduation. Of the 85 graduates entering education, 54 stayed in the state of Utah and 31 left the state to teach. There were 67 of 110 responders to the survey (60%) that reported they entered education within two years and have remained in education since graduation. One teacher out of the 85 entered education after attending graduate school. The survey indicated that 17 of the 85 teachers exited education which is equal to 20% of the responding educators leaving education. Of the 17 educators who left the profession six left the first year, and 13 of the 17 left sometime during the first three years. Of the 17 educators that left education, four returned to the profession.

Abstract:
The Post-Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), offered by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in partnership with schools, is an established route into teaching. Typically pre-service teachers (PSTs) are supported by an HEI-based subject tutor who visits during school placements. An interpretivist, qualitative approach was taken to investigate the practices and knowledge tutors used during visits, and the PSTs’ perceptions of how they benefited. Six science tutors working in different HEIs were accompanied on their visits to one PST throughout a one-year PGCE course. Audio recordings and field notes supported in-depth interviews that were used to construct tutors’ practice. The PSTs’ perspectives were elicited through semi-structured interviews. Through a thematic template analysis of the interview data three main dimensions to tutors’ knowledge and practice were identified: support, development and management. The findings revealed that tutors’ knowledge of PST development, combined with their external perspective, leaves them well-positioned to play an important role in initial teacher education. Whilst PSTs’ characteristics and school context contributed to variation in outcomes, it was the tutors’ underlying aims, view of PST development and the extent to which their practice was PST-centred that were most significant. 4 Tutors’ management practices indicated that separatist or HEI–led views of partnership dominated. Although the intention was to support, when PSTs were left to make sense of the conflicting advice of teachers and tutors they rejected both, opting to rely on their existing beliefs about teaching. School and HEI partners must work collaboratively with PSTs if the contribution of each is not to be undermined by the other and PSTs are to understand the value of each. This would be enhanced if the rationale behind tutors’ practice was shared and their expertise made explicit. In addition, tutors need to know the PST’s expectations and beliefs and have regard for these.

Abstract:

Product placement is a relatively new idea within marketing. Despite this, it has become a more accepted and used concept, especially within the motion picture industry. It has been noticed that exposure on screen has had a positive effect on sales of the showed products, even though there are still no clear method to measure its efficiency. Evidence has shown that there is an increased tourism to destinations exposed on screen. For example, the movie Braveheart increased tourism to Scotland, Notting Hill has brought attention to London’s district Notting Hill, and the books of Wallander has benefited Ystad. We therefore see a possible development of product placement, which so far only has incorporated products, to also include placement of geographical places (cities, region or nations etc), i.e. location placement. The exposures that to this point has occurred has been random, with no active participation from marketers or filmmakers.

Our purpose is to investigate if media placement of locations (defined as paying for the placement) is a possible future source of revenue for location marketers as well as film and product placement agencies.

We have interviewed people from three main areas: marketer of a geographical location, product placement agency, and representatives from the film production. Since we had some problems collecting sufficient data, we decided to complement our empirical findings with secondary data.

We see a potential development of location placements. It does however require some conditions to be fulfilled. First, the placement must be seamlessly placed, should lead the story forward and should not be the main focus before the script. Second, the placement must be communicated openly throughout the entire production process and with all parties involved. Finally we see that placement must be founded on good relationships and having the right channels. The actors involved in a location placement are the marketer, product placement agency, location shout, director and other film production crew.

To sum up, a well thought-thru location placement that are consistent with the overall location brand image and the story, would benefit both the location and the film.

Full text
Abstract:
This PhD researches the role of product placement in modern Chinese cinema, exploring the shifting discourses and textually-specific practices that are unique to the practice of product placement within the Chinese film industry. Existing studies have focused almost exclusively on the Hollywood film industry, and have analysed product placement in terms of its effectiveness with audiences, and as a potential influence on consumer behaviour, often from a psychological or marketing viewpoint. This study approaches product placement from industrial and textual perspectives, more interested in the process of product placement in film production: how trade press reports, state and industry discourse, and practitioner commentary, frames product placement within the Chinese film experience. Therefore, this is a shift from work on the consequences of product placement, or simplistic notions of good/bad product placement, to an investigation of the discursive and textual strategies used by the Chinese film industry when using product placement in modern film production. This allows the thesis to focus on how the Chinese industry offers an illusion of serving the public, able to use its expertise to position product placement as what an assumed audience wants. Examining different players in product placement deals such as film producers, product placement agencies, brand companies, and the Chinese government, also allows the study to consider the shifting hierarchies of expertise and power. Within this, the study identifies and analyses two specific power relationships: state vs film industry, and creativity vs commercialisation. Alongside industrial commentary, the study examines the textual status of product placement through close mise-en-scène analysis of a range of contemporary Chinese film examples. It identifies three elements – 2 narrative, character, and genre – as key areas where product placement is most overtly displayed, visualised and embodied, and considers the impact this has on narrative coherence. Through this combination of discourse analysis and film analysis, the study is able to critically investigate the role product placement plays within the modern Chinese film industry.

Full text
Abstract:

This study compared data related to National Board Certification (NBC) of mathematics teachers in a South Florida school district. Data included 1,162 student scores on the 2014 AP Calculus AB exam, student gender, student grade level, and eligibility for free or reduced price lunch (FRL) status. Teachers completed the Standards’ Beliefs Instrument (SBI) (Zollman & Mason, 1992) to determine alignment of their beliefs with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards. Interviews were conducted with five NBC mathematics teachers to understand how they incorporate best mathematics teaching practices in their daily instruction.

A t-test analysis revealed that students taught by NBC teachers scored significantly higher (M = 3.70) on the AP Calculus AB Exam than those taught by non-NBCTs (M = 2.74); Cohen’s d (.6429) indicated a moderately large effect size. No causation is to be implied; various confounding factors may also contribute to the variance in student scores.

Three factorial ANOVA tests were performed to test interaction effects. Two significant interaction effects were detected: (1) NBCT status and student grade level; and (2) NBCT status and student FRL (free and reduced price lunch) status. No significant interaction was found between NBCT status and student gender.

With a reliability estimate using Cronbach’s alpha, a second t-test was conducted. A statistically significant difference was found regarding the mean scores of NBCTs and non-NBCTs regarding their beliefs according to the vision of the NCTM. NBCTs generally have practices that align more with the NCTM mathematics teaching standards. Interviews with five NBC teachers of AP Calculus provided rich qualitative descriptions of their teaching philosophies, approaches, and best practices contributing to student success.

The results of this study reinforce evidence from previous research that the process of obtaining the NBC contributes to a teacher’s professional expertise and is related to student success; however, since there may be other confounding factors related to teachers, students, and their schools, the NBC cannot be considered the sole factor contributing to student success in AP coursework and exams.

This qualitative action research study looked at my collaboration with a science teacher as we combined a Television Production class with an Advanced Placement Environmental Science class. This cross-curricular case study explored the implementation of the principles of media literacy, defined by the National Association for Media Literacy Education, into the science classroom where media literacy has traditionally been a non-factor. The impact of media and technology on everyone's daily lives is making it necessary for us to become media literate. The use of media literacy tools and strategies in a combined media production class and an AP science class created opportunities to explore cross-curricular understandings of media literacy education that would not have existed otherwise.

Abstract:
Universities in Zimbabwe have universally adopted a full-year integrated undergraduate student workplace-based learning pedagogy following the precedent set in 1991 by one pioneering university, the National University of Science and Technology. In this explorative study I analyse participants’ views, reflections and understanding of how the full-year model of workplace-based learning enhances quality academic practices and impacts on short, medium and long-term visions and opportunities for students and other stakeholders. I employed the embedded concurrent mixed methods research design (Creswell&Clark, 2007) using interviews with lecturers, university administrators and industry supervisors, as well as open-ended questions in three matched versions of a questionnaire to students, lecturers and industry supervisors respectively. The same questionnaire provided quantitative data that was statistically analysed. Interviews were conducted with 24 participants from the university under study, industry and other universities, while 363 university students, 40 NUST lecturers and 34 industry supervisors responded to the respective questionnaires. Students, lecturers and industry supervisors concurred on the coherence between industry experiences and university learning, the beneficial experiences at the workplace, and the relevance of those experiences to society, confirming the expressed view that industry-based learning promoted quality learning and teaching, and enabled students to become work-ready. However there were perceptions of inadequate student supervision and assessment, unsatisfactory student welfare safeguards, inadequate research enthusiasm among lecturers, and the lack of involvement of the whole spectrum of industry categories. There was an underlying regard for lifelong learning enabling societal transformation into the increasingly dominant industrialised culture. Lecturers indicated an appreciation for a holistic orientation to teaching and learning (Taylor, 2009), and were inclined towards adopting the hermeneutic approach to education (Danner, 2002). It is recommended, among other things, to revitalise effective practices through staff development efforts, increasing student knowledge and empowerment, and strengthening collaborative platforms between the university and its industry partners. Chief among the suggestions for future research is the understanding and promotion of student welfare during their placement in the workplaces.

Abstract:
Florida has experienced some of the greatest growth of Advanced Placement (AP) programs in recent years and student scores on the AP exams have evolved into a highly significant metric in evaluating student proficiency and teacher and school effectiveness. Despite this growth, it is not well known how AP teachers make decisions about the content they teach, what learning activities they select, how much the AP exam influences their decision making, how they modify learning opportunities for diverse learners, and how they prepare their students for the College Board AP exam. This interpretive, phenomenological study examines the lived experiences of four AP U.S. History teachers whose students consistently achieve pass rates above the Florida average. The study examines how these teachers interpret competing environmental factors, construct meaning, and develop course plans and classroom environments for their students that lead to successful outcomes. Four successful AP U.S. History teachers were selected from a large school district in central Florida and invited to participate in the study. Participants were purposefully selected to create a sample where all participants possessed the "intensity" characteristic of successful student performance but where variability in the high school settings and individual teacher demographics were maximized. Data collection consisted of a pre-interview survey, a classroom observation, and three one-hour semi-structured interviews for each participant. The four participants' data were used to construct interpretive phenomenological narratives to share the lived experiences of these successful AP teachers. Additionally, analysis of participant data yielded participant and inter-participant themes. Findings indicate that the successful teachers in this study were highly organized, developed supportive and caring classrooms, and designed their courses, in large part, based on their own personal beliefs about what a college experience should be like. While all teachers in this study reported considerable academic diversity in their individual classrooms, the greatest effects of academic diversity were seen when comparing teachers in different academically performing schools where teachers adapted their pacing, content, and methods to the academic skills of their students. The significant impact of the AP exam on all dimensions of teacher course planning and decision making was clearly evident throughout this study. Implications of these findings are that educators and administrators should select AP teachers carefully, recognize that the academic characteristics of students influence these classrooms, and be cognizant that they surrender a significant degree of control over content and skills taught in these types of classes. Furthermore, given the nature and size of the current AP program, policymakers and the College Board should examine whether they provide sufficient curricular-instructional guidance to teachers, students, and other stakeholders.

Abstract:
The purpose of this mixed methods study was to investigate the factors that impact the quality of implementation of the Advanced Placement (AP) Program at a select urban high school and determine if the implementation methods can be attributed to the exam success rates. Furthermore, this study analyzed the quality of program implementation through student and teacher perceptions to investigate a relationship between factors of implementation and student performance on the AP exams. This research was conducted at a large metropolitan Atlanta high school, with a large minority population, located in the suburbs of a large urban school district in the southeastern part of the United States. The participants in this study were juniors and seniors who were currently participating in Advanced Placement at their school. Additionally, teacher and administrative personnel who worked with the Advanced Placement program participated in the study. Data collection was done through the concurrent embedded research design. The data for this study were collected through surveys, interviews, and test scores. The findings/conclusions from this study suggest that student classification (junior or senior), perception of the value of AP classes and the overall program, teaching methods, the number of AP classes taken in one year, teacher training, and the lack of a clear policy may influence the success rates of students on AP examinations. Practical implications and recommendations for educational leaders are offered.

A presente investigação procura explorar implicações do uso de portfólios reflexivos na formação inicial de professores, na realidade sociocultural específica do nosso país, fazendo-o quer da perspectiva do professor em formação, quer da perspectiva da instituição que opta pela sua implementação. No ano lectivo 2000/01, os professores de um Núcleo de Estágio da Licenciatura em Ensino de Biologia e Geologia da Universidade de Évora desenvolveram um portfólio reflexivo como parte da sua formação e avaliação. O portfólio substituiu o dossier de estágio. Foi usado como modelo o Science Teaching Portfolio do BEST Profiram do Connecticut State Department of Education (EUA). A promoção de uma prática reflexiva e o contributo para uma avaliação mais formativa, autêntica, dinâmica e participada, parecem ser, para o professor em formação, as principais vantagens desta metodologia. A instituição de formação deve proceder a uma implementação cuidada que envolva a clara definição de objectivos, estrutura e formas de avaliação do portfólio, num processo negociado que apele à colaboração entre todos os intervenientes e em que a adequada formação destes assume um papel crucial. *** - Abstract - Reflective Portfolios in Initial Teacher Education a Study with Biology and Geology Teachers at the Student Teaching Level: - The objective of this study is to explore the implications of reflective portfolios use in Initial teacher training in the Portuguese sociocultural reality. These implications were studied from two different perspectives: the student teachers perceptions of the portfolio development process and the institution perceptions about portfolios in is Initial teacher training program. In the 2000-2001 school years, four placement teachers in their Initial teaching training course for Biology and Geology teachers at the Universidade de Évora have developed reflective student teaching portfolios as an assessment tool. The portfolio entered the training program as a replacement for the traditional teaching dossier. We have used the Science Teaching Portfolio of the Beginning Educator Support and Training (BEST) Program, Connecticut State Department of Education (EUA), as a model. Promotion of reflective practice and contribution to a more formative, authentic, dynamic and collaborative assessment seems to be the major positive outcomes to the student teacher. At the institution level, the process of implementing a portfolio must be carefully prepared. It demands a clear definition of gools, guidelines and assessment criteria. It must be a negotiated process that appeals to collaborative work and involves specific training of students and mentors.

Abstract:
Num contexto de rápidas e profundas alterações, em que a sociedade evolui a um ritmo vertiginoso, com inestimáveis repercussões no meio escolar, impõe-se uma formação de professores (em especial, uma formação inicial) que vise a preparação de profissionais proficientes, capazes de cumprir o grande objectivo de uma educação que se pretende de qualidade: preparar os jovens de hoje para vencerem os desafios do amanhã. É urgente, pois, proceder-se a uma profunda e cuidada reflexão acérca das práticas que, no domínio da formação de professores (neste caso, inicial), se têm vindo a desenvolver. A presente investigação refere-se a um estudo delineado, precisamente, com o objectivo de investigar as percepções dos professores estagiários dos cursos de formação inicial de professores de Biologia e Geologia de todas as universidades públicas portuguesas, acerca do currículo e do funcionamento dos respectivos cursos, em particular do estágio pedagógico. A dissertação é configurada por duas vertentes: uma vertente de investigação teórica, na qual se apresenta o quadro conceptual do estudo, construído a partir da revisão de literatura efectuada; uma vertente empírica, onde se apresenta a contextualização e descrição metodológica do trabalho de campo e onde se procede à apresentação, análise e discussão dos resultados obtidos. A postura metodológica que advogamos recusa antagonismos, preconizando antes a complementaridade entre procedimentos de pesquisa quantitativos e procedimentos qualitativos tendo-se, por isso, recorrido a métodos de triangulação metodológica (questionário, entrevista semi-estruturada e, pontualmente, diários de aula). Os resultados obtidos apontam, genericamente, para a necessidade de uma formação académica mais prática e mais contextualizada, mais adaptada, em suma, à realidade existente. O estágio pedagógico, em particular, parece ter-se afirmado como um contributo indispensável na formação de professores, tendo sido elevado o grau de satisfação global quanto à formação proporcionada durante este período de formação e ao modo como o mesmo decorreu, muito embora tenham sido apresentadas pertinentes propostas de reformulação. Uma delas prende-se com a necessidade de uma melhor definição de parâmetros no que diz respeito á avaliação e aos respectivos instrumentos de suporte. A vocação parece ter sido o principal factor que levou a maioria dos inquiridos a optar pela profissão docente, tendo sido elevada a percentagem de questionados a quem a profissão parecia agradar. Só um reduzido número de professores estagiários admitiu, aliás, uma eventual mudança de profissão. *** -Abstract - In a context of rapid and profound change in society, which is developing at a giddy pace, the impact on education is inestimable. Therefore, teacher training (especially initial training) must be provided which is capable of producing proficient individuals who can achieve the overall objective of the quality education system we are aiming at: to prepare today's young people for the challenges of tomorrow. There is therefore an urgent need for deep and careful thought on practices which have been developed in the field of teacher training (in this case, initial training). The objective of this study is to research the perceptions of placement teachers who are engaged in initial training courses for Biology and Geology teachers at all the state universities in Portugal regarding the curriculum and the course itself, and in particular teaching practice on placement in schools, as part of the course. There are two aspects to the dissertation: theoretical research, in which the conceptual framework for the study is presented, based on reading of the literature in the field; and empirical study, in which the contextualization and methodological description of field work is presented and the results are detailed, examined and discussed. The proposed methodology avoids taking an openly negative stance, rather seeking complementarity between quantitative and qualitative research procedures; therefore methodological triangulation methods have been used (questionnaire, semi-structured interview, and lesson diaries). The results obtained point to the need for academic training of a more practical and more contextualized nature, in short, the kind of training which is better adapted to the situation as it exists in schools. Placement teaching practice, in particular, seems to have been shown to provide an essential contribution to teacher training, demonstrated by the degree of overall satisfaction as regards training provided during placement and the way in which this was carried out, although pertinent proposals were made for alterations to the training scheme. One of these pointed out the need for a better definition of parameters regarding assessment and assessment tools. Vocational reasons are the most common factor leading interviewees to choose teaching as a career, and a high proportion of them enjoyed teaching. A small number admitted that they may give up teaching and seek a new career.

Abstract:
In recent years there has been growing enthusiasm among researchers for the promotion of online learning communities designed to support professional learning in preservice teacher education. The primary purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the role of such an online community in supporting student teacher learning during the school placement in a Chinese Normal University, and hence to enrich the understanding of student teachers’ learning experiences in an online ecology. The study’s subjects included a cohort of 42 student teachers enrolled on a four-year preservice teacher education programme, along with two university supervisors at one of China’s teacher-training universities. Primary data were collected from six weeks of online threaded discussions and from semi-structured group interviews. Supplementary data were taken from an end-of-school-placement evaluation and web-tracking logs. Data analysis has been informed and illuminated by the theoretical proposition of communities of practice. The findings of the study indicate that the online learning community is a valuable resource for supporting student teachers both personally and professionally. Findings suggest that online communication not only helps student teachers tackle immediate teaching concerns and technical problems, but, more importantly, provides them with opportunities to reflect collectively, to co-construct new teaching ideas, and to gain professional discourse competence through articulating and negotiating their evolving thoughts on teaching as a profession. In this regard, student teachers are found to be more comfortable with online self-disclosure of their personal and professional encounters and critiquing each other than they are with face-to-face communication. The research also shows that university supervisors experience mixed feelings about the fact that student teachers are more able to take ownership of their learning and therefore become less dependent on supervisor guidance as time wears on. Furthermore, these findings provide evidence suggestive of a possibly reciprocal relationship between Chinese view of learning and the building of online learning communities. Based on the results of the study, I provide recommendations as to how the significance of the school placement can be reinforced in fostering distributed student teachers’ professional growth. The results also contribute to a better understanding of the key factors in the design and implementation of effective online learning communities within preservice teacher education in China. Finally, the analytical approach used in this study provides fresh methodological insight into an alternative means of analysing online postings. It thus contributes both to the theorisation of learning communities in the context of computer-mediated communication, and to the further development of concepts drawn from the communities of practice literature.

Abstract:
Being proficient with technology is becoming an essential part of a high school education, and some high schools now require computer skills as a prerequisite to graduation. School districts that recognize the relevancy and value of Information Technology (IT) courses to student careers and education can provide insight into effective teaching. Although most high school technology teachers have professional teaching certifications from passing prescribed subject area tests, many of these IT teachers do not possess IT industry certifications. IT industry certifications are official recognitions that verify competence through an array of requirements including education, experience, and examinations. The goal of this study was to quantify the effect of student achievement by comparing student posttest scores of teachers holding relevant IT industry certifications with those of teachers not possessing IT industry certifications. To accomplish the goal, nine North Carolina school districts furnished student posttest data on teachers who taught the Computer Applications I course. In addition, 51 of 80 Computer Applications I teachers completed an online survey that solicited information on IT industry certifications (e.g., Microsoft Office and IC3 Certifications). The posttest data and survey information was compared and analyzed using parametric inferential statistics. The study demonstrated that IT certified teachers had a significant, positive effect on the level of achievement of Computer Applications I high school students. Thus, high school teachers who possess IT industry certifications may be better equipped to instruct complex technology courses to their students. Based on the findings of this study, school districts should institute professional development programs that promote relevant IT industry certification to their Computer Applications I teachers. Finally, IT teachers possessing relevant IT certification could advocate the importance of IT industry certifications to their students in an effort to elevate the perceived value of technology courses.

Full text
Abstract:
As part of a comprehensive, multi-tiered system of support for students’ emotional, academic, and behavioral success, effective universal screenings are essential to identify students who may benefit from early intervention and targeted prevention services (Strein, Kuhn-McKearin, & Finney, 2014). Although many screening procedures and methods have been developed and evaluated for general education populations, more research is needed on screening procedures designed for one traditionally underserved population in school-based mental health services—students in accelerated curricula (namely, students in Advanced Placement classes or in the International Baccalaureate program; AP/IB). When teachers are involved in universal screening procedures, regardless of student population served, training strategies to improve teacher accuracy in identifying students at-risk have resulted in gains in teacher knowledge of mental health disorders, but not improvements in accuracy (Deacon, 2015; Moor et al., 2007; Veira et al., 2014). This study examined prevalence of academic and emotional risk among 352 9th grade AP/IB students (enrolled in AP Human Geography or IB Inquiry Skills) in seven schools. Within a subgroup of 245 students (from five schools) who also participated in a teacher nomination procedure, this study also examined the accuracy of teachers (N = 6) in identifying the students who demonstrate signs of risk academically (defined by low grade in class or overall GPA) or emotionally (defined by high levels of perceived stress and low school satisfaction). Almost one in four students (24.17%) were designated as at-risk academically for either low course grades or GPA, and almost one in three students in the sample (28.88%) met at-risk criteria for emotional risk for either low school satisfaction or high perceived stress. In terms of teacher accuracy, teachers were found to have a high sensitivity and specificity identifying students with academic risk (90% sensitivity and 90.32% specificity across all 6 teachers). Mirroring previous research, teacher accuracy identifying students at-risk emotionally was lower (42.42% sensitivity and 76.14% specificity across all 6 teachers). The study also explored patterns in at-risk students missed by teachers, based on student characteristics such as gender, race, socio-economic status, risk severity, and risk type. Due to a low sample size of teachers, analyses were unable to detect differences in the rate of students missed across different student variables. Finally, the study advanced and evaluated the effects of a brief teacher training and feedback intervention intended to increase accuracy in identifying students at-risk. Low sample sizes again precluded identification of meaningful statistical differences. Although statistical findings were limited, quantitative and qualitative acceptability measures indicated high participant acceptability and feasibility for the new intervention. Conclusions from the study may be used within a population-based framework of student mental health services, to best inform early identification methods of students in accelerated curricula at-risk for diminished academic and emotional success, and working with teachers in screening efforts. Further, future research points to continued need to evaluate the brief teacher intervention with larger sample sizes to evaluate any possible intervention effects.

Abstract:
The problem of this study concerns the structure and content of teacher education programs in colleges and universities which are members of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). A questionnaire was developed and consisted of four sections: (1) general background information of the respondent; (2) questions relating to the live NCATE standards using a Likert scale of 1 to 3, regarding respondent's teacher education program; (3) general information concerning Bible credit hours required, critical problems and factors considered in job placement of graduates; and (4) an opinionnaire concerning current issues in teacher education, significant changes in respondents' programs and cooperative and unusual program arrangements. One hundred questionnaires were mailed to the 100 collegiate members of ACSI in 1987. Of the 75 returned, 57 were usable. This represents a 57 percent response rate. Based on the information provided by the chairpersons participating in the study, the following conclusions are drawn relative to ACSI teacher education programs: 1. The influence of an outside agency, such as the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), seems to benefit teacher education programs. 2. State accreditation of teacher education programs appears to be important to both NCATE and non-NCATE accredited programs. 3. Of the five NCATE standards, knowledge base for professional education was the standard that seemed to be the strongest to ACSI collegiate members. 4. ACSI schools emphasize biblical and theological education concurrent with teacher education. 5. Institutions with NCATE accredited programs seem to be satisfied with NCATE accreditation, although institutions with non-NCATE accredited programs seem to favor additional accreditation from an organization other than NCATE. 6. The small number of ACSI programs accredited by NCATE may be due to (1) theological conflicts, (2) fiscal requirements, (3) the amount of work involved in the accreditation process, or any combination of the three.

Abstract:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 1 in 6 children are diagnosed with a developmental disability or with developmental delays, which are associated with impairments in physical, language, cognitive, and/or adaptive behaviors. To fill a gap in the literature, the adaptive profile of young children initially served as developmentally delayed (DD) were analyzed to explore adaptive differences between different ethnicities and placement settings of children at the time of the initial referral prior to DD assessment. Archival data included 333 preschool aged children. The independent variables of eligibility status (DD or not DD eligible), ethnicity (White, Black, or Hispanic), and placement setting prior to testing (home, daycare, or school) and the dependent variable of Adaptive Behavior Assessment Scale-II Parent/Primary Caregiver Form General Adaptive Composite (GAC) standard scores were used. Three 1-way ANOVAs indicated a significant difference between the 2 levels of eligibility status. There was no difference for the 3 levels of ethnicity. There was a significant difference in GAC scores between public school setting versus home setting but not between daycare setting versus public school and home settings. To effect positive social change, knowledge from this study highlights the need to increase professional and public awareness of early identification of DD children; the importance in mandating competent care by highly trained individuals; and the impact of educating parents, daycare professionals, educators, and other providers about the role of social learning on development and mastery of functional life skills for all young children.

Denna uppsats tar sin utgångspunkt i frågeställningar som berör handledarens yrkeskunnande. Benämningen handledare syftar i detta fall på lärare som är VFU-handledare för lärarstudenter eller mentorer för nyutexaminerade lärare. VFU och introduktionsår för nya lärare befinner sig i gränsområdet mellan utbildning och yrkespraktik. Vilka är de kritiska punkterna i handledarrollen? Är det möjligt att följa en modell och vad fungerar i verkligheten? Vilka områden och frågeställningar är relevanta för blivande handledare? Hur kan man utbilda för att kunna hantera dessa områden? Det empiriska material som ingår i denna uppsats har bland annat arbetats fram med hjälp av dialogseminariemetoden. I linje med grundsynen inom forskningsämnet Yrkeskunnande och teknologi har exempel från praktisk yrkesverksamhet, både utifrån författarens egna och blivande handledares upplevelser, fått utgöra stommen i arbetet. Utöver konkreta exempel på dilemman i koppling till handledning beskrivs forskning inom handledningsområdet. Olika perspektiv på kunskap och yrkeskunnande är ytterligare en beståndsdel i arbetet. Avslutningsvis förs ett resonemang kring de kritiska punkterna i handledarrollen och hur man kan betrakta dem i koppling till olika perspektiv på kunskap samt hur denna relation påverkar möjligheten att utbilda yrkeskunniga handledare enligt ”en modell för verkligheten”.
This essay has its basis in issues concerning supervisors’ skills. The term supervisor, in this case, refers to teachers functioning as supervisors during teacher students’ placements or as mentors during the probationary year. What is the crucial point in the role of the supervisor? Is it possible to follow a model and what works in reality? What fields of interest and which questions are relevant for future supervisors? How can you educate these individuals so the will be able to handle such issues? The empirical material that is a part of this essay is a result of the dialogue seminar. According to the basic outlook of the research subject Skill and technology examples from practice is the foundation of this work. Beyond these practical examples of dilemmas in connection to supervision research in the field of supervision is described. Different perspectives of knowledge and skill are other components in this essay. Finally, a discussion about the crucial points in the role of the supervisor is conducted. It is illustrated how different perspectives of knowledge affects the possibility to educate skilled supervisors by using “a model for reality”.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: ABSTRACT Chapter 1 investigates teacher wages in the South African labour market, in order to ascertain whether teaching is a financially attractive profession, and whether high ability individuals are likely to be attracted to the teaching force. Making use of labour force survey data for the years 2000 to 2007 and for 2010, wage returns to educational attainment and experience are measured for teachers, non-teachers and non-teaching professionals. The returns to higher levels of education for teachers are significantly lower than for non-teachers and non-teaching professionals. Similarly, the age-wage profile for teachers is significantly flatter than it is for non-teachers, indicating that there is little wage incentive to remain in teaching beyond roughly 12 years. The profession is therefore unlikely to attract high ability individuals who are able to collect attractive remuneration elsewhere in the labour market. Chapter 2 deals with explicit teacher incentives in education. It provides a technical analysis of Holstrom and Milgrom’s (1991) multitasking model and Kandel and Lazear’s (1992) model of peer pressure as an incentivising force, highlighting aspects of these models that are necessary to ensure that incentive systems operate successfully. The chapter provides an overview of incentive systems internationally, discussing elements of various systems that may be useful in a South African setting. The prospects for the introduction of incentives in South Africa are discussed, with the conclusion that the systems in place at the moment are not conducive to introducing teacher incentives. There are however models in Chile and Brazil, for example, that may work effectively in a South African setting, given their explicit handling of inequality within the education system. Chapter 3 makes use of hierarchical linear modelling to investigate which teacher characteristics impact significantly on student performance. Using data from the SACMEQ III study of 2007, an interesting and potentially important finding is that younger teachers are better able to improve the mean mathematics performance of their students. Furthermore, younger teachers themselves perform better on subject tests than do their older counterparts. Changes in teacher education in the late 1990s and early 2000s may explain the differences in the performance of younger teachers relative to their older counterparts. However, further investigation is required to fully understand these differences.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In Hoofstuk 1 word die lone van onderwysers in die Suid-Afrikaanse arbeidsmark ondersoek om vas te stel of onderwys ʼn finansieel aantreklike beroep is en hoe waarskynlik dit is dat mense met sterk vermoëns na die onderwys gelok sal word. Met gebruik van arbeidsmagopnamedata van 2000 tot 2007 en van 2010 word die loonopbrengs op jare onderwys en ervaring vir onderwysers, nie-onderwysers en beroepslui buite die onderwys gemeet. Die opbrengste vir hoër vlakke van opvoeding is beduidend laer vir onderwysers as vir nie-onderwysers en nie-onderwys beroepslui. Netso is die ouderdom-loonprofiel van onderwysers beduidend platter as vir nie-onderwysers, wat dui op weinig looninsentief om langer as ongeveer 12 jaar in die onderwysveld te bly. Dit is dus onwaarskynlik dat hierdie beroep baie bekwame mense sal lok wat elders in die arbeidsmark goed sou kon verdien. In Hoofstuk 2 word na eksplisiete insentiewe in die onderwys gekyk. Die hoofstuk verskaf ʼn tegniese analise van die multi-taak-model van Holstrom en Milgrom (1991) en van Kandel en Lazear (1992) se model van portuur-druk as aansporingskrag, met klem op die aspekte van hierdie modelle wat in Suid-Afrikaanse omstandighede van nut mag wees. Vooruitsigte vir die instelling van insentiewe in Suid-Afrika word bespreek, met die slotsom dat die stelsels wat tans in plek is nie bevorderlik vir die instelling van onderwysersinsentiewe is nie. Daar is egter modelle in byvoorbeeld Chili en Brasilië wat effektief in Suid-Afrikaanse omstandighede sou kon funksioneer, gegewe hulle eksplisiete klem op ongelykheid binne die onderwys. In Hoofstuk 3 word hiërargiese liniêre programmering gebruik om te ondersoek watter eienskappe van onderwysers ʼn belangrike invloed op studenteprestasie uitoefen. Met gebruik van data van die SACMEQ III studie van 2007 is ʼn interessante bevinding dat jonger onderwysers beter in staat is om die gemiddelde wiskunde prestasie van hulle student te verbeter. Verder vertoon sulke jonger onderwysers self ook beter in die vaktoetse in Wiskunde en taal as hulle ouer kollegas. Veranderings in onderwysopleiding in die laat negentigerjare en vroeë jare van hierdie eeu kan dalk die verskille in die vertonings van jonger onderwysers relatief tot hulle ouer eweknieë verklaar. Verdere ondersoek is egter nodig om hierdie verskille beter te verstaan.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur tillåtande, tillgänglig och föränderlig litteraturen är i förskolans miljö. Undersökningen har genomförts genom intervjuer med förskollärare, samt genom observation och dokumentation av litteraturens placering med hjälp av foton. Resultatet visar att förskolorna har litteraturen nära platsen för vila, för att litteraturen ska vara tillgänglig och nära till hands när barnen och pedagogerna ska läsa. Litteraturen är i barnens höjd vilket gör att de kan plocka till sig litteraturen när de önskar. Utöver litteraturen i samband med platsen för vila, har några avdelningar fördelat litteratur på resten av avdelningen. Två av avdelningarna har litteratur i näst intill alla rum för att den ska vara tillgänglig för barnen överallt, även i leken. På några förskolor är litteraturens miljö ständigt i förändring, medan de på andra nästan aldrig förändrar miljön. Förskollärarna är medvetna om litteraturens och miljöns betydelse för barnen, dock speglas detta inte alltid i verksamheten. Förskollärarna är alltså medvetna om syftet till litteraturplaceringen i olika grad.
The main purpose with this survey is to review how variable, available and allowable the literature is in the preschool environment. When having interviews with preschool teachers and through observation and documentation of the placement of the literature by photos, the answers to the main questions have been answered. The result showed that the preschools have literature next to the place for rest because it´s supposed to be close while reading for the children. The literature is in available height for the children so they can reach the literature. Except the literature by the resting place some of the preschool teachers have placed the literature in every room so it is available everywhere in the preschool, even in the children’s play environment. The preschool teachers were aware of the meaning of the surrounding and the literature for the children, unfortunately this didn´t always reflect in the preschool environment. The preschool teachers were aware of the purpose and the placement of the literature in different degrees.

Abstract:
Utvecklingen inom industribranschen sker snabbt där maskiner, processer och fabriker blir både mer komplexa och mer avancerade. Industribranschen ställer höga krav på de som ska arbeta inom industrin och det ställer nya krav på yrkeslärarna som ska utbilda den framtida arbetskraften. Detta innebär att yrkeslärare behöver kontinuerlig fortbildning och yrkeskompetensutveckling för att vara up to date med sitt grundyrke och sin yrkesidentitet. Syftet med studien var att beskriva yrkeslärares erfarenheter av och möjligheten till yrkeskompetensutveckling inom sitt yrkesområde på industritekniska programmet inriktning produkt och maskinteknik. En kvalitativ forskningsansats användes utifrån semistrukturerade intervjuer (n=4) med yrkeslärare på industritekniska programmet. Intervjuerna analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. De fyra informanterna jobbade på tre olika skolor varav två av skolorna bedrivs i helt kommunal regi medan den tredje bedrivs ute hos ett företag på uppdrag av kommunen. I resultatet framkom tre huvudkategorier av yrkeslärares erfarenheter av yrkeskompetensutveckling; Behov av yrkeskompetensutveckling, Främjande faktorer för yrkeskompetensutveckling samt Hindrande faktorer för yrkeskompetensutveckling. I studien framkommer att yrkeskompetensutveckling är viktigt utifrån den förändring som sker inom industribranschen. Möjligheter till yrkeskompetenutveckling sker genom exempelvis utbildningar eller externa aktörer men yrkeslärarna upplevde även hinder till densamma då skolorna oftast anordnar kompetensutveckling som ska passa alla lärare på hela skolan eller på grund av för stram ekonomi.
Developments in the industrial industry are cutting fast. Machines, processes and factories are becoming both more complex and more advanced. The industry places high demands on those who will work in the industry and it places new demands on the vocational teachers who will train the future workforce. This means that vocational teachers need continuous training and vocational skills development to be up to date with their basic profession and professional identity. The aim was to describe vocational teachers' experiences of and the possibility of continuing professional development within their professional area in the industrial engineering program focusing on product and mechanical engineering. A qualitative research approach was used based on semi-structured interviews (n=4) with vocational teachers on the engineering program. The interviews were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The four informants worked at three different schools, two of which are run entirely municipally, while the third is conducted at a company on behalf of the municipality. In the result, three main categories emerged; Need for continuing professional development, Promoting factors for continuing professional development and obstacles for continuing professional development. The study shows that vocational skills development is important based on the change that is taking place in the industrial industry. Opportunities for professional development are made through, for example, education or external actors, but vocational teachers also experience obstacles to the same as schools usually arrange competence development that should suit all teachers throughout the school or due to tight finances.

Abstract:
Esta pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo filmes brasileiros contemporâneos que têm professores e/ou a escola como personagens/cenários em seus conteúdos. Para a análise desses filmes, realiza-se, inicialmente, a apresentação do desenvolvimento da atividade cinematográfica no Brasil e seu funcionamento como indústria, a partir de três etapas: produção, distribuição e exibição. Todas essas etapas envolvem grandes investimentos que podem ser públicos ou privados. Atualmente, o Estado brasileiro financia de forma indireta a produção fílmica, através de parcerias com o mercado. As fases de distribuição e exibição, por sua vez, só recebem investimentos de instâncias privadas, o que contribui para um processo de monopolização da atividade cinematográfica brasileira por indústrias culturais, sejam americanas ou nacionais. A partir da relação cinema e indústria, apresenta-se o conceito de indústria cultural, desenvolvido por Adorno e Horkheimer, abordando os interesses econômicos e ideológicos que permeiam a criação de produtos culturais. No intuito de explicitar, ainda mais, a importância dos interesses ideológicos, busca-se o conceito de hegemonia, de Gramsci, a partir do qual se afirma que a indústria cultural pode funcionar como um aparelho privado de hegemonia, contribuindo para hegemonizar valores comuns aos parceiros. No Brasil, o foco está posto nas Organizações Globo como indústria cultural e aparelho privado de hegemonia, com a discussão de suas práticas econômicas e sociais. A Globo Filmes é a empresa das Organizações Globo responsável pelo cinema, atuando na produção e divulgação de filmes nacionais. Os filmes escolhidos para análise nesse trabalho foram produzidos ou apoiados por essa empresa e são eles: Verônica (2009), Uma Professora Muito Maluquinha (2011) e Qualquer gato vira-lata (2011). Todos eles têm o professor como personagem principal e os dois primeiros apresentam a escola como cenário. A análise do discurso na abordagem tridimensional apresentada por Fairclough é utilizada como proposta teórico-metodológica, para abordar os filmes como texto, prática discursiva e prática social, permitindo a aproximação do objeto expresso no título da tese
This research analyzes the discourse of three Brazilian films that present the teacher and/or school as characters/main scenarios: Veronica (2009), Uma Professora Muito Maluquinha (2011) and Qualquer gato vira-lata (2011). The Critical Discourse Analysis, proposed by Fairclough (2001), was the theoretical and methodological framework chosen. Approaching the movies as text, starting from screenplay and film language, discourse and social practices. Regarding the text, preference was given to three points of entry: semantic, involving lexical choices; syntactic, which corresponds to the relations between words and also shots of the film; and pragmatic, which concerns the relationship of producers with text. Both in textual analysis and in discursive and social practices, several concepts of Cultural Industry and Hegemony, related to movies and other means of communication and education were referred to. To perform the analysis was established first a social-historical characterization of Globo Organizations, main responsible for production and dissemination of selected films, as a Cultural Industry and Private Hegemony Apparatus. Aiming at point out the main conceptions of teacher and school that this company wanted to hegemonize through its films, along with its economic partners and the State itself. Like semiformation, from Adorno (1996), in which the films extolled the annulment of teaching, in the teaching- learning process, focusing on an uncritical learning content from the learner autonomy. And conformism, from Gramsci (1982), where such placement is stimulated facing the presentation of problems related to teaching practice. Therefore, based on Critical Discourse Analysis of films, this research approaches the film not only as a work of art, but as a social practice that hegemonizes ideologies of the culture industry which produces it

Abstract:
Reports and consultative documents published at national level since about 1980 have indicated that British Industry must look to modern technology and also educate and train its workers on a 'broad base', with an 'integrated' approach. Traditionally, and still very much the mode of operation, teaching has been confined within subject boundaries. A research group was established by Professor Bajpai consisting of the author, Mr Rod Bond (Burleigh Community College, Loughborough) and a few others working overseas to investigate a teaching strategy based on an interrelated approach to teaching mathematics. Measurement was chosen as the first topic of investigation using this approach which then formed the basis for further research undertaken by the two research workers of the group whose work is reported in the form of two theses. This thesis aims to show that mathematics is naturally related to science and technology in industrial practice and that when taught in an interrelated way it would be more interesting and have more relevance to real applications in technology-based employment at craft and technician levels. To help establish the case experiments carried out by the author are referred to; these include a few case studies, a questionnaire survey and results analysed from more than five hundred basic mathematics tests. The various kinds of mathematics taught in further education are described and compared with mathematics in a practical context as seen from a case study within an engineering training school. Next a survey of mathematics at work shows that, like the training school, there is a task associated with the mathematics which is also related to science or technology or both. Another case study in the pharmaceutical industry lends further support to the way mathematics is used in industry. Much of the mathematics also seems to be basic and used in association with measurement and a particular task. It was decided by the research group that a tape/slide programme on measurement for students and educators should be developed by the author and tested in different situations. Teaching modules on relevant mathematical topics based on the interrelated approach were constructed for students with strong support from industry in the form of materials and advice. Testing of these modules, in their original and revised forms after feedback, is described. These trials were also carried out in other establishments. Modules based upon the interrelated approach developed by the author formed a basis for promoting the underlying philosophy behind this approach. These were presented to educators in in-service training and staff development programmes in the north western region of the UK with success. Observations and conclusions drawn clearly indicate that this type of method makes mathematics more interesting and relevant for students of different abilities and backgrounds. Finally pointers are given in the thesis as to the wider use and promotion of this approach for teaching mathematics in further education.

CAPES
Considerando o contexto de reestruturação produtiva e neoliberalismo que incidem na formação social brasileira desde as últimas décadas do século XX, a literatura especializada da área Educação Física estabelece relações entre a divisão da formação em Educação Física e a reestruturação produtiva. Apropriando-se da revisão teórico-conceitual do que a literatura marxista reconhece como reestruturação produtiva, esta pesquisa visa – no âmbito da economia – apanhar a cadeia produtiva da indústria da cultura corporal em academias de ginástica, bem como os sinais de existência de uma reestruturação produtiva que indiquem nexos com a divisão da formação de professores de Educação Física. Buscamos entender os nexos entre o estágio de desenvolvimento da indústria da cultura corporal no setor de academias e – até que ponto, esse estágio de desenvolvimento interfere, influencia, determina – as disputas pela direção da formação em Educação Física no Brasil (1980-2012). A Concepção Materialista e Dialética da História é a teoria do conhecimento que orienta o modo como estamos pensando esse objeto, síntese de múltiplas determinações. As categorias centrais que se articulam são: modo de produção capitalista/reestruturação produtiva do capitalismo na formação social brasileira; reestruturação produtiva x reestruturação da educação/formação da força de trabalho; indústria da cultura corporal (setor de academias); reestruturação produtiva da indústria da cultura corporal/formação de professores de Educação Física. Dentre os resultados da pesquisa, verificamos que houve a necessidade de adequação da força de trabalho no setor de academias, no que se refere as inovações nos equipamentos e aparelhos, novas modalidades corporais, conhecimento de marketing e, principalmente, em relação a atitude pessoal que deve estar voltada ao empreendedorismo e flexibilização, contudo não foram alterações significativas no conteúdo de trabalho do professor de Educação Física, a ponto de justificarem a divisão da formação em Licenciatura e Bacharelado. No nosso entendimento não estão claros os nexos da relação entre reestruturação produtiva e divisão da formação. O reconhecimento da cadeia produtiva do setor de academias e os dados econômicos desse mercado, possibilitou-nos problematizar o debate sobre os interesses dos empresários de academias e suas determinações na direção da formação em Educação Física.
Abstract Considering the context of productive restructuring and neoliberalism that have influenced the Brazilian social formation since the last decades of the twentieth century, the specialized literature of Physical Education establishes relations between the division of Physical Education formation and productive restructuring. Approaching the theoretical-conceptual revision of what Marxist literature recognizes as a productive restructuring, this research aims - in the ambit of the economy - to pick up the productive chain of the body culture industry in gymnasiums, as well as the signs of a restructuring productive relationship that indicate links with the division of the formation of Physical Education teachers. We seek to understand the links between the development stage of the body culture industry in the academy sector and - to what extent, this stage of development interferes, influences, determines - disputes by the direction of training in Physical Education in Brazil (1980-2012) . The Materialist and Dialectical Conception of History is the theory of knowledge that guides the way we are thinking this object, synthesis of multiple determinations. The central categories that are articulated are: capitalist mode of production / productive restructuring of capitalism in the Brazilian social formation; productive restructuring x restructuring of workforce education / training; body culture industry (academies sector); productive restructuring of the body culture industry / training of Physical Education teachers. Among the results of the research, we verified that there was a need to adapt the workforce in the academy sector, in terms of innovations in equipment and devices, new body modalities, marketing knowledge and, especially, the personal attitude that should be focused on entrepreneurship and flexibility, but there were no significant changes in the work content of the Physical Education teacher, to the point of justifying the division of the training in Bachelor's and Bachelor's degree. In our understanding, the links between productive restructuring and division of training are unclear. The recognition of the productive chain of the academies sector and the economic data of this market enabled us to problematize the debate about the interests of entrepreneurs of academies and their determinations in the direction of the formation in Physical Education.

Abstract:
This study examined the interactions--(1) research grants and contracts, (2) faculty consultation, (3) employee training, (4) student internships and co-ops, (5) universities sharing firm facilities, and (6) firms sharing university facilities--between higher education and high-tech industries in East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia using multiple regression modeling. The purpose of the study was the development of a vision of what the future could be and the strategies to successfully overcome the threats and enrich the opportunities that exist between higher education and high-tech industries. Data were collected from the engineering and engineering technology faculty at Tennessee Technological University, East Tennessee State University, Virginia Polytechnical Institute and State University, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and selected high-tech firms in East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. The analytical process included four phases: (1) data collection and preparation, (2) reduction of independent variables, (3) model refinement, and (4) model validation. The analysis suggested that large universities with well-defined organizational channels seemed to have an advantage in obtaining research grants and contracts from large firms that were strongly involved in research and development. Likewise, faculty members seemed to use the facilities of large high-tech firms that were near to the university. More importantly, the study emphasized the mutual benefits that universities and industries could share through university-industry interactions if each could overcome formidable barriers that have been established through tradition, culture, and bureaucratic processes.

Abstract:
Building the capacity of Australian organisations continues to be a challenge in today’s changing work environments. Increasing concern about the calibre of graduates entering the workforce highlights a ‘disconnect’ between pedagogy and contemporary business practices, as the Higher Education (HE) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) sectors seek to address industry’s demand for employment-ready graduates. In order to meet this challenge, HE and VET educators are expected to have current industry knowledge and skills relevant to their areas of teaching, yet there is considerable difficulty in forging academia-industry partnerships to achieve this. Teacher placement in industry (TPI) schemes are a form of continuing professional development, whereby the teacher spends a predetermined period of time working for a host organisation in situ, immersed in contemporary industry-based processes, whilst working alongside peers. For HE and VET educators, TPI provides opportunities for teachers to upgrade and/or expand their industry knowledge and skills to support teaching and learning. For enterprises, TPI initiatives may contribute to the creation of new knowledge and build organisational capacity through the transfer of information and ideas between educators and firms’ employees. Yet, notwithstanding the acknowledged benefits of TPI, the challenges of implementing such initiatives are at odds with broader policies encouraging education-industry alliances. Constraining forces such as lack of funding, poorly developed HR policies and workforce casualisation raise concerns about the long-term viability of TPI schemes. The research question this study set out to addresses is: In what ways may TPI contribute to the development of individual and organisational capacities? A relativist-constructivist paradigm was applied to a mixed-methodological framework to explore HE, and VET business disciplines managers, and industry managers’ views about the value of TPI schemes, and the benefits and challenges of implementing such initiatives. The theoretical framework employed in the study was drawn from situated theories of workplace learning. This thesis should be of interest to teachers, education managers, senior university management, managers in industry, government policy makers, industry associations and professional/accrediting bodies, as each of these is potentially influenced/impacted by the outcomes of TPI initiatives. The thesis contributes to the research question by revealing several issues, including the need to expand academia-industry partnerships, which would strengthen the workplace proficiency of teachers in HE and VET. The findings from this study indicate that there is considerable goodwill from both academia and industry to engage with each other, as each can see benefits from TPI initiatives. However, there are also a considerable number of challenges that make it difficult in practice, for such engagements to flourish, including issues such as: funding, the setting of goals and objectives, and the evaluation of TPI outcomes. This thesis contributes to the field of workplace learning and capacity building by proposing a number of recommendations to strengthen education-industry alliances through TPI initiatives, including; policy changes; the provision of dedicated funding for sustainable TPI schemes; and the development of a national register of HE, VET, and industry partners.
