Academic literature on the topic 'Teacher s intervention'

This study tests the impact of a randomly assigned professional development coaching intervention (MyTeachingPartner-Secondary; MTP-S) on teacher projections of their students’ educational attainment. Results indicate that students who report more behavior problems in the Fall of the academic year are projected by teachers to have lower future educational attainment in the Spring of the academic year. However, analyses further indicate that participation in the MTP-S intervention moderates the association between Fall student behavior problems and teachers’ Spring projections for student attainment, such that this link is not significant for students in classrooms where the teacher is participating in MTP-S. In fact, results indicate that teachers who participate in the intervention project better educational attainment for their students than teachers who are in a business-as-usual control condition, regardless of their students’ behavior. Findings are discussed in terms of the role that interventions targeting classroom interactions may play in altering teachers’ internal view of students, thus ultimately promoting adolescent development.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of using the Islamic Project© Module by preschool teachers in the development of KEMAS kindergarten children in the state of Kelantan. This module seeks to provide significant and critical data on the integration of values in subject-matter teaching. The Modified Delphi technique was used to get consensus for the different module components. Experts from different educational fields fully involved in the module development. The respondents were 100 teachers from 100 government sponsored-kindergarten in the rural areas (TABIKA KEMAS) in Kelantan. All participating teachers were given 3 days of intensive training before implementing the Moral project approach. Using Kirkpatrick's 4-Level Assessment Model, the results of this study clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of this intervention model. Repeated measure of the ANCOVA analysis also showed that there were significant differences in comparisons between the intervention (experimental) and control groups. The findings further revealed a significant increase in teacher practice score change between the intervention and control groups over time (F-stat = 528.71, p-value = <0.001); and control over time (p-value = <0.001). Additionally, a significant increase in teacher attitude score change between the intervention and control groups (p-value = <0.001) was also recorded.

Few research studies within the field of mathematics education have focused on the ability to recognize quantities quickly and accurately without counting (i.e. subitizing). The aim of this research was to empirically explore the role of conceptual subitizing activities for enhancing preschool class children’s learning of the part-part- whole relations of number. 24 children (aged 6-7) and two teachers participated in the intervention. Due to ethical issues, data were only collected from 18 of the children. The design was a collaborative and iterative intervention, employing a mixed-method approach. Data consisted of pre-and post-test, teacher observation notes and teacher responses to questions about the children’s learning. Both the quantitative and qualitative analysis showed that conceptual subitizing activities supported children’s knowledge development regarding part-part-whole relations of number. At the group level, the children´s results between pre-and post-test showed an increase of 18.1 percent units and more than half of the children showed conceptual subitizing abilities in a qualitatively more developed way after having participated in the intervention. The result indicated that conceptual subitizing activities might enhance preschool class children’s understanding of the part-part-whole relations of number. The results however also elucidated that not all children improved their understanding of the part-part -whole relations of number. Future research should therefore consider individual differences when developing and carrying out interventions. Keywords: collaborative intervention, conceptual subitizing, part-part-whole relations of numbers, preschool class children

The purpose of this explanatory mixed method study was to investigate the effect of Online Based (OB) and Field Based (FB) teaching practicum experience on student teacher (ST)s’ sense of self efficacy levels in instructional strategies, student engagement and classroom management within the Faculty of Education at a private university in Erbil, Iraq. An explanatory mixed method was designed with two treatment groups. Both groups were administrated the Teacher Sense of Self-Efficacy Scale (TSES) theorized by Tschannen-Moran and Hoy (1998) . Since the results of the survey was different from what is being expected, a semi structured interview was held with a ST from each department. Results from the t-test demonstrated that the OB group (OBG) students demonstrated a very high-level sense of self-efficacy in terms of instructional strategies, student engagement and classroom management. However, after the interview it was figured out that the FB group (FBG) students improved their self-efficacy in the authentic school environment. This study demonstrated the importance of continuous, appropriate and authentic challenges in eventually establishing a stable sense of self-efficacy among student teachers.

This study examined the differences among social skills and problem behaviors of disabled ( n = 22) and nondisabled ( n = 27) preschoolers on Social Skills Rating System–Teacher Version. Significant differences were found between the two groups on all measures of social skills and all but one measure (internalizing problems) of problem behaviors. Also, correlations with a measure of social competence and S teachers' ratings strongly supported the validity of this measure of social skills for preschool children. Implications for designing early intervention programs are discussed.

IntroductionChildren engage in a high volume of sitting in school, particularly in the classroom. A number of strategies, such as physically active lessons (termed movement integration (MI)), have been developed to integrate physical activity into this learning environment; however, no single approach is likely to meet the needs of all pupils and teachers. This protocol outlines an implementation study of a primary school-based MI intervention: CLASS PAL (Physically Active Learning) programme. This study aims to (A) determine the degree of implementation of CLASS PAL, (B) identify processes by which teachers and schools implement CLASS PAL and (C) investigate individual (pupil and teacher) level and school-level characteristics associated with implementation of CLASS PAL.Methods and analysisThe intervention will provide teachers with a professional development workshop and a bespoke teaching resources website. The study will use a single group before-and-after design, strengthened by multiple interim measurements. Six state-funded primary schools will be recruited within Leicestershire, UK.Evaluation data will be collected prior to implementation and at four discrete time points during implementation: At measurement 0 (October 2016), school, teacher and pupil characteristics will be collected. At measurements 0 and 3 (June–July 2017), accelerometry, cognitive functioning, self-reported sitting and classroom engagement data will be collected. At measurements 1(December 2016–March 2017) and 3 , teacher interviews (also at measurement 4; September–October 2017) and pupil focus groups will be conducted, and at measurements 1 and 2 (April–May 2017), classroom observations. Implementation will be captured through website analytics and ongoing teacher completed logs.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval was obtained through the Loughborough University Human Participants Ethics Sub-Committee (Reference number: R16-P115). Findings will be disseminated via practitioner and/or research journals and to relevant regional and national stakeholders through print and online media and dissemination event(s).

The international academic community recommends the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in order to better prepare students to face the increasing challenges of our real world. However, literature diagnoses difficulties related to the implementation of STEM integrated tasks by the teachers in school, related to the need of having enough specialised knowledge to achieve this goal. Teachers are the key to any process of a pedagogical intervention. In this regard, there is the need to promote their professional development, which raises the following question: What strategies of a professional development programme (PDP) provide teachers with motivation and confidence to innovate their practices? This paper discusses the role of leadership as an important strategy to promote the efficacy of a STEM PDP. With a qualitative methodology and an interpretative approach, a primary school teacher case study is presented. The teacher was able to develop STEM integrated tasks in the context of a collaborative network involving the team´s project leader, the school leaders and the training centre leader. Keywords: Collaboration, leadership, primary school, professional development, STEM.

Abstract Background Epilepsy, although a common disorder, yet is highly stigmatized. Under this condition, children with epilepsy are more vulnerable to stigmatization, social isolation, lack of support, and psychological and emotional problems. Thus, there is an immediate need of literature focusing on intervention studies to change the attitudes of school teachers and children. Methods The study was conducted with the objectives to evaluate knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) about epilepsy among school teachers and children; provide educational training program to teachers; and check the efficacy of training program imparted by teacher and trainer. Results Repeated measure of analysis of variance shows that knowledge (F = 1,134.875, p < 0.001), attitude (F = 2,429.909, p < 0.001), and practice (F = 2,205.122, p < 0.001) are significantly different between pre- and posttests indicated by Pillai’s trace test. Similarly, from the Pillai’s test, knowledge (F = 49.317, p < 0.001), attitude (F = 125.304, p < 0.001), and practice (F = 178.697, p < 0.001) are significantly different among teachers, trainer imparting training to children, and teachers imparting training to children. It is seen that KAP scores significantly differ between two time points and across the three groups. Among all the groups, teachers imparting training to children had high level of practice. Conclusion Inclusion of health education programs in the textbooks and health education schemes for teachers and school children are crucial ways to bring a change in their attitude, behavior, and practices toward epilepsy.

Abstract Background Although epilepsy is a common disorder, it is highly stigmatized. Not only public but even teachers are not free from stigmatization and cultural barriers. Under this condition, children with epilepsy are more vulnerable for stigmatization, social isolation, lack of support, and psychological and emotional problems. At the same time, there is an immediate need of literature focusing on intervention studies to change the attitudes of school teachers and children. Materials and Methods The study was conducted with the objectives to evaluate knowledge, attitude, and practices about epilepsy among school teachers and children; provide educational training program to teachers; and check the efficacy of training program imparted by teacher and trainer. Results Repeated measure of analysis of variance shows that knowledge (F = 1134.875, p < 0.001), attitude (F = 2429.909, p < 0.001), and practice (F = 2205.122, p < 0.001) are significantly different between pre- and posttest indicated by Pillai’s trace test. Similarly, from the Pillai’s test knowledge (F = 49.317, p < 0.001), attitude (F = 125.304, p < 0.001) and practice (F = 178.697, p < 0.001) are significantly different among the teachers, trainer imparted training group of children, and teachers imparted training group of children groups. It is seen that knowledge, attitude, and practice scores significantly differ between two time points and across three groups. Among all the groups, teachers imparted training group children had high level of practice. Conclusion Inclusion of health education programs in the textbooks and health education schemes for teachers and school children is a crucial way to bring a change in their attitude, behavior, and practices.

The forms of intervention carried out by the teachers through the conflicts that occur among the students differ due to the interference of some factors. From this observation comes up the following questions, which factors could interfere in the type of intervention that each teacher adopts? And how does this intervention occur? These questions led to the construction of this research which general objective is to understand the factors that can interfere in the teacher?s intervention in the face of the students' conflicts, and as specific objectives to identify the types of intervention used and considered as ideal by the teachers and to discuss about the difficulties encountered by them to intervene in the conflicts of the children. In order to achieve these objectives, a qualitative research was carried out through the case study of a municipal school in the city of Feira de Santana using the assumptions of moral development theory. The subjects were four teachers from the 3rd to the 5th year of elementary school, with which observations and interviews were made. The research was based on Piagetian theory of moral development, as well as the discussions of contemporary authors such as La Taille (1998; 2006), Puig (1998; 2004), Vinha (2000; 2003) and Tognetta (2009). The school conflicts were discussed from two dimensions, danger and learning opportunity (TOGNETTA; VINHA, 2011). The analysis of the data, showed up to the existence of five forms of teacher?s intervention, they are: the resolution of the conflict by the student, the preference of other contents instead of the conflict, the immediate containment of them, the mediation and the transfer of the conflict. Regarding the factors that interfere in the type of intervention chosen by the teacher, four were found, wich also represent some difficulties encountered by them to intervene. The first concerns the ambiguities of know-how in favor of autonomy. The second factor falls on children and families considered to be more difficult to cope with. The relationship between the sociomoral environment and the didactic time was the third interference factor found. The fourth factor refers to the representations that the teachers make of themselves, as to the intervention they perform in the face of conflicts. Thus, it is possible to conclude that each of the factors found can interfere of different way in the way the teachers make their interventions, being somehow interconnected. The continued education in service is an opportunity for teacher?s learning and transformation know-how-want-to-believe, to make that your tendency to intervention is more in favor of moral autonomy than heteronomy.
As formas de interven??o realizadas pelas professoras, mediante os conflitos que ocorrem entre os estudantes diferem devido ? interfer?ncia de alguns fatores. A partir dessa constata??o, surgem os seguintes questionamentos: quais fatores poderiam interferir no tipo interven??o que cada docente adota? E como acontecem essas interven??es? Essas quest?es levaram ? constru??o desta pesquisa, que tem como objetivo geral: compreender os fatores que podem interferir na interven??o docente, diante dos conflitos entre pares; e como objetivos espec?ficos: identificar as formas de interven??o praticadas e tidas como ideais pelas professoras; e discutir sobre as dificuldades encontradas por elas para intervir nos conflitos escolares. Para o alcance desses objetivos, foi realizada uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, atrav?s do estudo de caso de uma escola da rede municipal de Feira de Santana, que utiliza os pressupostos da teoria do desenvolvimento moral. Os sujeitos foram quatro professoras do 3? ao 5? ano, com as quais foram realizadas observa??es e entrevistas. A pesquisa teve como base a teoria do desenvolvimento moral piagetiana, al?m das discuss?es de autores contempor?neos como La Taille (1998; 2006), Puig (1998; 2004), Vinha (2000; 2003) e Tognetta (2009). Os conflitos escolares foram discutidos a partir de duas dimens?es: perigo e oportunidade de aprendizagem (TOGNETTA; VINHA, 2011). A an?lise dos dados apontou para a exist?ncia de cinco formas de interven??o docente, que s?o elas: a resolu??o do conflito pelo aluno; a preteri??o do conflito em detrimento de conte?dos outros; a conten??o imediata; a media??o; e a transfer?ncia do conflito. Quanto aos fatores, que interferem no tipo de interven??o realizada pelas docentes, foram encontrados quatro, que tamb?m representam algumas dificuldades encontradas por elas para intervir. O primeiro diz respeito ?s ambiguidades de saber-fazer uma interven??o em prol da autonomia. O segundo fator recai sobre a discuss?o das crian?as e das fam?lias tidas como mais dif?ceis de lidar. A rela??o entre o tempo did?tico e o ambiente sociomoral foi o terceiro fator de interfer?ncia encontrado. O quarto fator se refere ?s representa??es que as professoras fazem de si, quanto ? interven??o que realizam diante dos conflitos. Assim, ? poss?vel concluir que cada um dos fatores encontrados pode interferir de forma diferente, no modo como as docentes fazem as suas interven??es, estando, assim, interligados. A forma??o continuada em servi?o se configura como uma oportunidade de aprendizagem e de transforma??o do saber-fazer-querer-crer docente, para que a tend?ncia de interven??o seja mais a favor da autonomia moral do que da heteronomia.

The objective of this research is to carry-out a reflexiuve analysis of a text production practice with students concluding their secondary school. The didactic-pedagogical proposal here consists of taking into class-room the practice of a specific text production methodology during the teaching terms of a year, with the objective to analyze the effect of the teacher s intervention in the students performance, through guided learning activities. Based on investigatory pedagogical action procedures, the plan was formated, and the didactic actions executed were observed and noted in the form of narrative, having in view the reflexive analysis of the proposed application. It was used the historical-cultural methodology approach with the contribution of Vygotsky, Leontiev, Davydov and Bakhtin. In the area of text production were used Boaventura, Costa Val, Fiorio, Garcez, Geraldi, Koch, among others, with the intention of promoting text production activities that might serve as tools to a conscious work in the textual production. Related to the research results, it s pointed out that the students production analysis shows the teacher s role importance as mediator in the practices of text production, being at the same time a helping element in the constitution of the student s subjectivity, leading to the authorship of their own texts. This essay was divided into three chapters. In chapter 1, was presented the details of the questions pertaining to text production processes, introducing some authors who approach this theme, as well as how came about the proposal of this text production methodology, aimed at improving students performance in writing through guiding activities. In chapter 2, was presented the methodology used in this research, which was a pedagogical investigation-action, turned to a qualitative socio-historical approach. In chapter 3, were made the considerations in respect to the efficacy of the teaching methodology proposed for writing classes. Key words: text production, secondary school teaching, language, teacher s mediation.
O objeto desta pesquisa foi o de realizar a análise reflexiva de uma prática de produção de textos com alunos concluintes do Ensino Médio. A proposta pedagógico-didática consistiu de pôr em prática na sala de aula uma metodologia específica de produção de textos ao longo de um ano letivo, visando analisar o efeito da intervenção do professor no desempenho dos alunos, por meio de atividades orientadoras de aprendizagem. Com base em procedimentos da investigação-ação pedagógica, foi formulado o planejamento, e as ações didáticas levadas a efeito foram observadas e registradas na forma de narrativa, tendo em vista a análise reflexiva da aplicação da proposta. Como abordagem metodológica, foi utilizada a teoria históricocultural, aportando contribuições de Vygotsky, Leontiev, Davydov e Bakhtin. Na área de produção de textos, foram utilizados Boaventura, Costa Val, Fiorio, Garcez, Geraldi, Koch, entre outros, com o intuito de que fossem promovidas atividades de produção de textos que servissem como instrumento para o trabalho consciente na produção textual. Em relação aos resultados da pesquisa, cabe destacar que a análise da produção dos alunos evidencia a importância do papel do professor como mediador nas práticas de produção de textos, ao mesmo tempo como elemento de ajuda na constituição da subjetividade dos alunos, levandoos a se tornarem autores de seus próprios textos. Esta dissertação foi dividida em três capítulos. No Capítulo 1, foi feito o detalhamento das questões pertinentes aos processos de produção de textos, apresentando-se alguns autores que se referem a esta temática, bem como se deu esta proposta de metodologia de produção de texto que visa melhorar o desempenho dos alunos na escrita por meio de atividades orientadoras. No Capítulo 2, foi apresentada a metodologia utilizada nesta pesquisa, que foi uma investigação-ação pedagógica, voltada para a abordagem sócio-histórica qualitativa. No Capítulo 3, foram feitas as considerações a respeito da eficácia da metodologia de ensino proposta para as aulas de redação.

The present research focus on an analyses on the teacher intervention process related to the subject sports in Physical Education classes taking into consideration, its teaching value, its understanding while multicultural phenomena and their manifestations in the society. The research objective was to analyze the professional intervention possibilities by means of the subject sports in Physical Education classes, shedding lights to its educational value and its possible understanding while multicultural phenomena. The methodological option is characterized as a qualitative approach (THOMAS; NELSON; SILVERMAN, 2007. The design was supported by a unique case study (GIL, 2009; YIN, 2005). The central question of the research which we seek answer was: How the teacher‟s intervention process happens, by means of the subject sports in the Physical Education classes taking into consideration its educational value, its understanding while multicultural phenomena and its manifestations in the society? The theoretical basis was enriched by studies related to the considerations about: the sports manifestations, the spectacular sport in school by means of communication, theoretical presuppositions and subsidies about the sport in the Physical Education classes, the teaching of physical Education from pedagogical approaches, and the debate about the theoretical presuppositions departing from sports pedagogy. The research involved the context of pedagogical practice of nine (9) of Physical Education teachers, two (02) State Public Schools from Guarapuava – PR (A, B), its practice was developed in classes of 8º e 9º grades from fundamental level, in which one hundred (117) students were involved in the total amount of schools from the two school institutions that participated in the research. The instruments used in the research to collect data were the non participants and systematic observation of the classes and the application of a questionnaire to the teachers and students. The Subject Analyzes was the option taken to analyze and interpret the data (BARDIN, 1977). The discussion and analyzes developed by means of observations, shed lights to the conceptual dimension, related to procedures and attitudes the contents which appeared in an isolated way in some classes, in this sense, being the sport appropriated by students in a fragmented way and without links with a valued conception that could add values and recognize the relevance of many manifestations of sport. On the other hand, it was possible to notice the concern of teacher in the attempt to offer and give chance to the students the systematic knowledge about the sport from a didactic perspective which prizes diverse methodological phases to the debate, experimentation, living, transformation and reflection of the issues efectivated on pedagogical work. Related to answers of the teachers and students questionnaires, it was concluded that it is necessary a large debates and discussions from the conception the such conception, because although of this research has focused to analyses of how the teachers intervention happens by means of the subject sport in Physical Education classes, many aspects related to the day by day in the classes, to the students knowing about sport and about the teachers pedagogical work it is necessary to develop deeper insights from a reflexive perspective.
Esta pesquisa apresenta uma análise do processo de intervenção docente em relação ao conteúdo esporte nas aulas de Educação Física considerando seu valor educativo, seu entendimento enquanto fenômeno multicultural e suas manifestações na sociedade. O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar as possibilidades de intervenção profissional por intermédio do conteúdo esporte nas aulas de Educação Física, considerando seu valor educativo e seu possível entendimento enquanto fenômeno multicultural. A opção metodológica se caracteriza como uma abordagem qualitativa (THOMAS; NELSON; SILVERMAN, 2007). O delineamento foi subsidiado por um estudo de caso único (GIL, 2009; YIN, 2005). A questão central da pesquisa que buscamos responder foi: Como se dá o processo de intervenção docente por meio do conteúdo esporte nas aulas de Educação Física considerando seu valor educativo, seu entendimento enquanto fenômeno multicultural e suas manifestações na sociedade? A fundamentação teórica foi consubstanciada por estudos referentes às considerações sobre: as manifestações do esporte; o esporte espetáculo na escola via meios de comunicação; os pressupostos e subsídios teóricos sobre o esporte nas aulas de Educação Física; o ensino da Educação Física a partir das abordagens pedagógicas e o debate acerca dos pressupostos teóricos a partir da pedagogia do esporte. A pesquisa envolveu a análise do contexto da prática pedagógica de nove (9) professores de Educação Física, de duas (02) Escolas Públicas Estaduais do município de Guarapuava – PR (A, B), sendo tal prática efetivada em turmas dos 8º e 9º anos do ensino fundamental, das quais participaram cento e dezessete (117) alunos, totalizando assim o número de escolares das duas instituições de ensino participantes da pesquisa. Os instrumentos utilizados na pesquisa para a coleta de dados foram a observação não participante e sistemática das aulas e a aplicação do questionário para os professores e alunos. Para a análise e interpretação dos dados optamos pela Análise de Conteúdo (BARDIN, 1977). As discussões e análises desenvolvidas por meio das observações desvelaram que as dimensões conceituais, procedimentais e atitudinais dos conteúdos se apresentam de forma isolada em algumas aulas, sendo o esporte apropriado pelos alunos de maneira fragmentada e desvinculada de uma proposta que valoriza e reconhece a relevância das diversas manifestações do esporte. Por outro lado, foi possível perceber a preocupação do professor em oferecer e proporcionar aos alunos o conhecimento sistematizado sobre o esporte a partir de uma didática que contempla diversas fases metodológicas para o debate, a experimentação, vivência, transformação e reflexão dos assuntos efetivados no trabalho pedagógico. Referente às respostas dos questionários dos professores e alunos, concluímos que se faz necessário maiores debates e discussões a luz dessa temática, pois embora esta pesquisa tenha buscado analisar como se dá o processo de intervenção docente por meio do conteúdo esporte nas aulas de Educação Física, vários aspectos relacionados ao cotidiano das aulas, aos saberes dos alunos sobre o esporte e o trabalho pedagógico do professor necessitam ser aprofundados a partir de uma perspectiva reflexiva.

This research based its analysis on the speeches, depositions and notes taken during the implementation of a teachers training project in their working time. The aim was to identify training approaches that take into account the authorship of the involved parties, based mainly on their contexts, background, culture and representations, motivating them to acquire the way of doing it, overcoming difficulties, and sharing the existing practices in an emancipating perspective. This project chose to apply the cooperative-intervention, method based on the studies of Fals Borda (1981), Pimenta (2005), Pimenta e Moura (2000), Thiolent (1994) e Zeichner (1998), undertaking the individuals to an authorship process, which confirms or guides priorities and pathways of analysis, with the implementation of educational policies in the background, in this specific case, the organization of education in cycles. We chose to work with three institutions of the Rede Oficial de Ensino do Município de São Paulo (Official Educational System of the City of São Paulo), selected under the following criteria: distance; the availability of the individuals who were willing to undertake the study projects; and having all the ages of the elementary school. The data collected along the formation project were analyzed through the view of social psychology, taking as reference the sabers docents (TARDIF) and habitus (BOURDIEU), undertaking this information to analysis under the following categories: professional knowledge , pedagogical knowledge , disciplinary knowledge , content knowledge and experience knowledge . Besides defining the training approaches that make teachers able to switch from the social actor position to become authors of their own training paths, we reached the conclusion that the experience knowledge usually changes in being-teacher and becoming-teacher
Esta pesquisa se ocupou da análise das falas, depoimentos e observações arroladas no decorrer da implementação de um projeto de formação de professores em situação de trabalho. Teve como objetivo contribuir para com modelos de formação que considerem a autoria dos sujeitos envolvidos, debruçando-se sobre seus contextos, suas histórias, culturas e representações, provocando-os a se apropriarem do modo de fazer, superando dificuldades e compartilhando práticas exitosas numa perspectiva emancipadora. Optamos por usar como metodologia a pesquisa intervenção colaborativa, apoiada em estudos de Fals Borda (1981), Pimenta (2005), Pimenta e Moura (2000), Thiolent (1994) e Zeichner (1998), envolvendo os pesquisados num processo de autoria afirmando ou redirecionando prioridades e caminhos de análise, usando como pano de fundo a implementação de políticas educacionais, no caso em tela, a organização do ensino em ciclos. Trabalhamos com três unidades da Rede Oficial de Ensino do Município de São Paulo, selecionadas a partir do critério de proximidade, disposição de seus sujeitos para adesão a projetos de estudos e de comportarem todas as idades trabalhadas pela educação básica. Os dados colhidos no decurso do projeto de formação foram analisados na perspectiva da psicologia social, usando-se como referencial teórico os saberes docentes (TARDIF) e habitus (BOURDIEU), submetendo-os a análises mediante as categorias saber profissional , saber pedagógico , saber disciplinar , saber curricular e saber experiencial . Para além de se revelar um modelo de formação capaz de mobilizar os professores da posição de atores sociais para a condição de autores de seus percursos formativos, o percurso desenvolvido revelou a predominância na mobilização de saberes experienciais no ser professor e no fazer-se professor

A tese aqui apresentada aborda o processo de pesquisa realizado entre os anos de 2008 e 2012, no decorrer do curso de doutorado, que foi direcionado para o estudo sobre a formação docente inicial e o ensino ao aluno com deficiência em classe comum na perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva. Tal pesquisa teve como objetivo principal analisar o percurso da formação docente inicial ― tomando como base a disciplina Intervenção Pedagógica e Necessidades Educativas Especiais, ofertada pela Faculdade de Educação – FACED ― voltada para o ensino/atendimento ao aluno com deficiência em classe comum na perspectiva da educação inclusiva, no contexto da Universidade brasileira, e mais especificamente o da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul – UFRGS. A abordagem escolhida foi de natureza qualitativa baseada na pesquisa histórico-cultural, que percebe os sujeitos como “criadores de ideias e consciência que, ao produzirem e reproduzirem a realidade social, são ao mesmo tempo produzidos e reproduzidos por ela” (FREITAS, 2002, p. 22). Desse modo, o contexto da pesquisa se configurou no espaço da UFRGS, e em particular, na FACED. Os sujeitos investigados se subdividiram em três grupos distintos: ex-alunos da disciplina Intervenção Pedagógica e Necessidades Educativas Especiais, durante os semestres 2009/2, 2010/1 e 2010/2; coordenadores dos cursos de licenciatura da UFRGS, perfazendo um total de dezessete profissionais, correspondendo às dezessete áreas de conhecimento que esses cursos abrangem; e os professores da referida disciplina. Os instrumentos metodológicos utilizados foram: análise de documentos; entrevista semiestruturada; experiência pessoal; e diário de campo. O estudo apresenta como aportes teóricos as obras de dois autores: Basil Bernstein e sua sociologia da educação, e Lev Seminovich Vygotsky e sua teoria histórico-cultural. A pesquisa possibilitou uma percepção de avanços discretos, ainda que tardios, no que diz respeito à atuação educacional da UFRGS com vistas a desenvolver, cada vez mais, ações que propiciem o acesso e a permanência de alunos com deficiência em seus cursos; propiciem principalmente o incremento de uma formação docente que responda à demanda dos futuros professores que irão trabalhar com alunos com deficiência em classes comuns das escolas regulares, e também à ampliação de projetos de pesquisa e extensão que contemplem esse campo de conhecimento. Para tanto, o papel da disciplina Intervenção Pedagógica e Necessidades Educativas Especiais é crucial, como espaço de mediação entre alunos, professores e a prática pedagógica. Espaço também de interação com outros professores, cursos e departamentos, apostando numa visão trialética de inclusão, através da criação de culturas inclusivas, da produção de políticas inclusivas e do desenvolvimento de práticas inclusivas. E que a Universidade brasileira se torne um campo de recontextualização pedagógica que leve à transformação social, e o professor seja o autor de seu discurso pedagógico.
This doctoral dissertation addresses the research process that has taken place during graduate school from 2008 to 2012. It was directed to the study of early teacher education and education to the people with disabilities in regular classes from the perspective of Inclusive Education. This research aimed at analyzing the course of early teacher education, which has been built when teaching Educational Intervention and Special Education Needs academic subjects, offered by the College of Education (FACED) which are focused on teaching people with disabilities in regular classes from the referred perspective in the context of Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul ― UFRGS, a Brazilian university. The chosen approach was that of qualitative research, carried out through cultural-historical research, which conceives the actors as “creators of ideas and conscious of producing and reproducing the social reality and simultaneously produced and reproduced by it” (FREITAS, 2002, p. 22). Thus, the research context has taken share at UFRGS, particularly at the College of Education ― FACED. The subjects investigated were subdivided into three distinct groups: alumni of Educational Intervention and Special Education academic subjects, during 2009/2, 2010/1 and 2010/2 semesters; coordinators of UFRGS undergraduate courses preparatory for teaching, totaling seventeen professionals corresponding to the seventeen various areas of knowledge covered in these courses; and the professors of Educational Intervention and Special Needs Education academic subjects. The methodological tools used were document analysis, semi-structured interviews, the researcher’s personal experience in Special Education and field diary. The study provides the theoretical contributions of two authors: the sociological approach of Basil Bernstein and its sociology of education and the cultural-historical theory of Lev Seminovich Vygotsky. This research allowed a discrete realization regarding to the educational role of UFRGS in order to develop increasingly actions that ease the access and permanence of people with disabilities in their courses; principally promoting an increase of early teacher education that responds to the prospective teachers’ demands who will teach people with disabilities in regular classes in regular schools; and it has also broaden research and extension projects in this field of knowledge. Therefore, the role of Educational Intervention and Special Education Needs academic subjects is of crucial relevance, as a place of mediation among students, teachers and pedagogical practice. It is also a place for interaction with other professors, courses and departments, focusing on a trialetic vision of inclusion through the creation of inclusive cultures, the production of inclusive policies and the development of inclusive practices. The aim is that the Brazilian universities become a pedagogic recontextualized field that leads to social transformation and that the teachers become the authors of their pedagogical discourse.
La tesis doctoral que aquí se presenta se refiere a la investigación llevada a cabo entre 2008 y 2012, durante el posgrado, dirigido al estudio de la formación inicial del profesorado y educación a los estudiantes con discapacidad en el aula regular desde la perspectiva de la Educación Inclusiva . Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo examinar el curso de formación inicial del profesorado ― basándose en la disciplina de Intervención Pedagógica y Educación Especial, ofrecido por la Facultad de Educación – FACED ― orientados a la enseñanza / servicio a los estudiantes con discapacidad en clases regulares en perspectiva la educación inclusiva en el contexto de la universidad brasileña, y más específicamente de la Universidad Federal de Rio Grande do Sul – UFRGS. El método elegido fue de carácter cualitativo basado en la investigación histórico-cultural, se da cuenta de que los sujetos como "creadores de ideas y de la conciencia, para producir y reproducir la realidad social, son producidos y reproducidos por ella" (FREITAS, 2002 p. 22). Por lo tanto, el contexto de la investigación se configura en el espacio UFRGS, y ante todo en. Los sujetos estudiados fueron subdivididos en tres grupos distintos: ex alumnos de la disciplina de Intervención Pedagógica y Educación Especial, durante los semestres 2009/2, 2010/1 y 2010/2; coordinadores de la UFRGS pregrado, para un total de 17 profesionales, que representan a las cinco áreas de conocimiento que estos cursos cubren, y los maestros de esta disciplina. Las herramientas metodológicas utilizadas fueron: análisis de documentos, entrevistas semi-estructuradas, la experiencia personal y diario de campo. El estudio proporciona aportaciones teóricas como las obras de dos autores: Basil Bernstein y su sociología de la educación, y Lev Vygotsky Seminovich y su teoría histórico-cultural. Los avances en la investigación permitió una realización discreta, aunque tarde, con respecto a la función educativa de la UFRGS con el objetivo de desarrollar cada vez más las acciones que faciliten el acceso y permanencia de los estudiantes con discapacidad en sus cursos; conducente principalmente al aumento una formación docente que responda a la demanda de los futuros maestros que trabajan con estudiantes con discapacidades en las clases regulares en las escuelas normales, así como la expansión de los proyectos de investigación y extensión que se ocupan de este campo de conocimiento. Por lo tanto, el papel de la disciplina de Intervención Pedagógica y Educación Especial es crucial, como un espacio de mediación entre estudiantes, profesores y la práctica pedagógica. El espacio también interactuar con otros profesores, cursos y departamentos, apostando trialética una visión de inclusión, mediante la creación de culturas inclusivas, que producen las políticas de inclusión y el desarrollo de prácticas inclusivas. Y la universidad brasileña se convierte en un campo pedagógico recontextualización que conduce a la transformación social, y el profesor es el autor de su discurso pedagógico.

Notre projet de recherche porte sur l’enseignement/apprentissage de l’oral en FLE aux étudiants russes de deuxième – et en partie de troisième - année de la faculté de langues de l’université pédagogique. Nous sommes notamment centrés sur l’agir de l’enseignant, celui-ci étant la figure clé assurant la progression du processus de l’apprentissage organisé dans une situation exolingue, en milieu hétéroglotte. Son rôle est plurifonctionnel, ses manifestations sont variables. Les polylogues pédagogiques se trouvent au cœur de nos analyses, dont le but est d’optimiser le processus d’enseignement/apprentissage par l’intermédiaire des modifications de l’agir de l’enseignant en y appliquant notre thèse du « naturel didactique » censée créer des conditions d’expression naturelles dans une situation didactique en motivant ainsi la parole des apprenants, d’une part, et en diminuant la dissymétrie des relations enseignant-apprenants, d’autre part.Les analyses quantitatives ont permis de dégager les particularités discursives des interactions verbales en groupe de FLE de l’université pédagogique russe, notamment la manière spécifique d’agir de l’enseignant. Les éléments dégagés de cette observation permettent d’ouvrir une réflexion sur la pédagogie à concevoir en contexte de la Russie
Our research project is concerned with the teaching/apprentiship of oral French in the « French as a Foreign Language » (FLE) program for Russian students in the second and, in part, third years in the Faculty of Languages of the teaching university of Vologda. We concentrated in particular on the action of the teacher, since the teacher is the key actor who ensures progress in the learning process in a situation using a non-native language in a foreign language context. The teacher assumes multiple functions with varying manifestations. Pedagogical polylogues are at the heart of our analyses. They aim to optimize the process of teaching/learning by modifying the action of the teacher via the application of our hypothesis of « natural didactics ». This method favors the creation of conditions allowing natural expression in a didactic situation by motivating the learners to speak on the one hand, and by reducing the asymmetry of the teacher-student relation on the other. Quantitative analyses allowed us to isolate particular aspects of verbal interaction in a FLE group within the Russian teaching university and in particular the specific action of the teacher. The results of these observations open up the possibility of a study of pedagogical methods appropriate for use in Russia

The Study on campus bullying behaviorsand teachers’ interventions Abstract The purpose of this study is to understand the current situation of campus bullying behaviors, teachers’ intervention, and satisfaction of teachers’ intervention. The relationships between bullying behaviors and the teachers’ interventions are examined. In addition, campus bullying behaviors are predicted, by using the demographic variables, teachers’ interventions, and the satisfaction of teachers’ interventions. This is a survey research and the structured questionnaire is applied. There are 698 valid samples which were collected from the junior high school in Taichung County. The data is processed by SPSS 12.0 and the statistics are frequency and percentage, T-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and Stepwise Regression. The main findings are: 1. The grades, gender, school performance, socioeconomic status, parenting styles, peer relations and family structures are all significantly different on campus bullying behaviors. 2. The grades, socioeconomic status and peer relations are significantly different on teachers’ intervention on campus bullying behaviors. 3. The grades, gender, parenting styles and peer relations are significantly different on satisfaction of teacher''s intervention on campus bullying behaviors. 4. The correlation between teachers’ intervention and campus bullying behaviors is not significant. 5. The correlation between the satisfaction of teachers'' intervention on campus bullying behaviors and campus bullying behaviors is positively significant. 6. The students’ demographic variables, teachers'' intervention and the satisfaction of teacher''s intervention on campus bullying behaviors have significant predicting power on campus bullying behaviors. Finally, suggestions are proposed for the parents, teachers, schools and the recommendations for further researches are included as well. keywords：campus bullying behaviors, teachers'' interventions, satisfaction of teachers’ interventions

The dissertation addresses the issue of death education. It represents the concept of this education as it was created and is realized in the United States (Levinton, 1977; Wass, 2003; Doka 2015). The aim of qualitative research is to map the experiences of teachers with the theme of school death. It follows experiences of interventions in cases of death in the closest family of pupils or the death of a member of the school community, experience with topics related to death in teaching, as well as conditions for education related to death. The data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with ten teachers. Part of the work on based on teacher intervention in 11 cases, six of which were concerned with deaths in the pupil's family, in three a pupil died. In two cases, deaths were related to teachers. In the interviews, teachers paid much attention to the situation regarding the classroom reporting, usually choosing a factual announcement after which the pupils were recommended how to behave to the mournful classmate. In this recommendation, there was an emphasis on empathy or on the preservation of common behavior. If the event was communicated by a pupil or the teacher perceived their interest, a discussion in which the pupils communicated their reflections, experiences followed. No teacher noticed a strong emotional response from pupils. To the grieving pupil, teachers usually expressed their participation outside the classroom. In their further negotiations with him, they either sought to maintain the order or considered different options. These included both the demands on the pupil and the choice of topics in the classroom respecting the sensitivity to family issues or devoting attention to death issues (often through reading). Part of the work on the subject of death in teaching presents school subjects where teachers can deal with death related topics. It is the Czech language, Elementary studies, Natural sciences, History or Ethical and Dramatic Education. Although the themes of death in the curriculum appear, only some teachers are giving them attention. Most often it is then the case for a wide range of discussions or essay writing of pupils, which usually follows common reading. Teachers perceive pupils' interest in these topics. In some cases, teachers have sought to counterbalance the numbing impact of contemporary death mediation by making pupils feel through reading or film watching. The theme of death has sometimes been raised by the pupils themselves. Teachers perceived support from their personal experience (for five their parents died in childhood or adolescence). In their professional training, they perceived courses such as Critical Thinking or Philosophy for Children superior providing them with tools for work with demanding themes. Many teachers apply a personal approach to their pupils which naturally forms an appropriate framework for interventions as well as teaching on the theme of death.

The diploma with title Preparing the teachers for the integration of the children with autistic spektrum disorders into regular primary school aims in its theoretical part acquaint the reader with the concept of autistic spectrum disorders, the classification and individual characteristics closer disorders. It provides an overview of suitable approaches, forms and methods of work with these children, educational opportunities and further aims at integration into mainstream schools. In its research section it aims to penetrate deeper into the issue of preparing teachers to integrate pupils with autism and a description of its subsequent course. Based on qualitative research methods, namely semi-structured interviews and document research presents a collection of opinions, attitudes, experiences, recommendations and advice on how to integrate teachers and school principals, as well as opinions and attitudes of teachers who don't have experience with integration. The results of the investigation could be a base for further research of a quantitative nature.

Relatório de Estágio do Mestrado em Ensino de Educação Física nos Ensinos Básico e Secundário apresentado à Faculdade de Ciências do Desporto e Educação Física
O presente Relatório de Estágio representa a conclusão do Mestrado em Ensino de Educação Física nos Ensinos Básico e Secundário da Faculdade de Ciências do Desporto e Educação Física da Universidade de Coimbra, sendo que este documento é resultante da prática pedagógica desenvolvida na Escola Básica 2,3/S Dr. Daniel de Matos, sede do Agrupamento de Escolas de Vila Nova de Poiares, junto da turma B do 10º ano de escolaridade, durante o ano letivo 2018/2019.O Estágio Pedagógico constitui-se, então, como um período de formação curricular, que possibilita ao professor estagiário a execução e cumprimento da função docente, em todas as suas áreas e dimensões, sobre supervisão, em que realmente é efetivada a prática e aplicação da teoria adquirida na formação inicial. Esta transferência entre a teoria e a prática só é exequível através de uma postura critico-reflexiva, de acordo com as especificidades do contexto experienciado, de forma a potenciar o desenvolvimento do processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Assim, através de uma reflexão crítica, fundamentada e estruturada, são descritas as experiências vivenciadas, as aprendizagens efetivadas e os conhecimentos adquiridos durante esta prática docente na Educação Física, sendo que se dividem em três capítulos essenciais do processo: a contextualização da prática desenvolvida, a análise reflexiva sobre a prática pedagógica e o aprofundamento de um tema-problema sobre “A intervenção pedagógica entendida pelos diferentes atores de um mesmo contexto de ensino-aprendizagem: estudos-caso com professor estagiário e professor experiente, e as suas turmas do ensino secundário”.
This Teacher Training represents the conclusion of the Master's Degree in Teaching of Physical Education in Basic and Secondary School by the Faculty of Sports Sciences and Physical Education of the University of Coimbra. This document is a result of the pedagogical practice developed in Escola Básica 2,3/S Dr. Daniel de Matos together with class B of the 10th grade, during the 2018/2019 school year.The Teacher Training is a period of curricular training, which enables the trainee teacher to execute and fulfill the teaching function, in all its areas and dimensions, on supervision, in which the practice and application of the theory acquired in initial formation is accomplished. This transference between theory and practice is only feasible through a critical-reflexive posture, according to the specificities of the context experienced, in order to enhance the development of the teaching-learning process.Thus, through a critical reflection, based and structured, are described the experiences, the actual learning and the knowledge acquired during this teaching practice in Physical Education, and are divided into three essential chapters of the process: the contextualization of the practice developed, the reflexive analysis on the pedagogical practice and the deepening of a thematic called "The pedagogical intervention understood by the different actors of the same teaching-learning context: Case studies with trainee teacher and experienced teacher, and their classes in high school ".

Nationalism: Past as Prologue began as a single volume being compiled by Ad Akande, a scholar from South Africa, who proposed it to me as co-author about two years ago. The original idea was to examine how the damaging roots of nationalism have been corroding political systems around the world, and creating dangerous obstacles for necessary international cooperation. Since I (Bruce E. Johansen) has written profusely about climate change (global warming, a.k.a. infrared forcing), I suggested a concerted effort in that direction. This is a worldwide existential threat that affects every living thing on Earth. It often compounds upon itself, so delays in reducing emissions of fossil fuels are shortening the amount of time remaining to eliminate the use of fossil fuels to preserve a livable planet. Nationalism often impedes solutions to this problem (among many others), as nations place their singular needs above the common good. Our initial proposal got around, and abstracts on many subjects arrived. Within a few weeks, we had enough good material for a 100,000-word book. The book then fattened to two moderate volumes and then to four two very hefty tomes. We tried several different titles as good submissions swelled. We also discovered that our best contributors were experts in their fields, which ranged the world. We settled on three stand-alone books:” 1/ nationalism and racial justice. Our first volume grew as the growth of Black Lives Matter following the brutal killing of George Floyd ignited protests over police brutality and other issues during 2020, following the police assassination of Floyd in Minneapolis. It is estimated that more people took part in protests of police brutality during the summer of 2020 than any other series of marches in United States history. This includes upheavals during the 1960s over racial issues and against the war in Southeast Asia (notably Vietnam). We choose a volume on racism because it is one of nationalism’s main motive forces. This volume provides a worldwide array of work on nationalism’s growth in various countries, usually by authors residing in them, or in the United States with ethnic ties to the nation being examined, often recent immigrants to the United States from them. Our roster of contributors comprises a small United Nations of insightful, well-written research and commentary from Indonesia, New Zealand, Australia, China, India, South Africa, France, Portugal, Estonia, Hungary, Russia, Poland, Kazakhstan, Georgia, and the United States. Volume 2 (this one) describes and analyzes nationalism, by country, around the world, except for the United States; and 3/material directly related to President Donald Trump, and the United States. The first volume is under consideration at the Texas A & M University Press. The other two are under contract to Nova Science Publishers (which includes social sciences). These three volumes may be used individually or as a set. Environmental material is taken up in appropriate places in each of the three books. * * * * * What became the United States of America has been strongly nationalist since the English of present-day Massachusetts and Jamestown first hit North America’s eastern shores. The country propelled itself across North America with the self-serving ideology of “manifest destiny” for four centuries before Donald Trump came along. Anyone who believes that a Trumpian affection for deportation of “illegals” is a new thing ought to take a look at immigration and deportation statistics in Adam Goodman’s The Deportation Machine: America’s Long History of Deporting Immigrants (Princeton University Press, 2020). Between 1920 and 2018, the United States deported 56.3 million people, compared with 51.7 million who were granted legal immigration status during the same dates. Nearly nine of ten deportees were Mexican (Nolan, 2020, 83). This kind of nationalism, has become an assassin of democracy as well as an impediment to solving global problems. Paul Krugman wrote in the New York Times (2019:A-25): that “In their 2018 book, How Democracies Die, the political scientists Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt documented how this process has played out in many countries, from Vladimir Putin’s Russia, to Recep Erdogan’s Turkey, to Viktor Orban’s Hungary. Add to these India’s Narendra Modi, China’s Xi Jinping, and the United States’ Donald Trump, among others. Bit by bit, the guardrails of democracy have been torn down, as institutions meant to serve the public became tools of ruling parties and self-serving ideologies, weaponized to punish and intimidate opposition parties’ opponents. On paper, these countries are still democracies; in practice, they have become one-party regimes….And it’s happening here [the United States] as we speak. If you are not worried about the future of American democracy, you aren’t paying attention” (Krugmam, 2019, A-25). We are reminded continuously that the late Carl Sagan, one of our most insightful scientific public intellectuals, had an interesting theory about highly developed civilizations. Given the number of stars and planets that must exist in the vast reaches of the universe, he said, there must be other highly developed and organized forms of life. Distance may keep us from making physical contact, but Sagan said that another reason we may never be on speaking terms with another intelligent race is (judging from our own example) could be their penchant for destroying themselves in relatively short order after reaching technological complexity. This book’s chapters, introduction, and conclusion examine the worldwide rise of partisan nationalism and the damage it has wrought on the worldwide pursuit of solutions for issues requiring worldwide scope, such scientific co-operation public health and others, mixing analysis of both. We use both historical description and analysis. This analysis concludes with a description of why we must avoid the isolating nature of nationalism that isolates people and encourages separation if we are to deal with issues of world-wide concern, and to maintain a sustainable, survivable Earth, placing the dominant political movement of our time against the Earth’s existential crises. Our contributors, all experts in their fields, each have assumed responsibility for a country, or two if they are related. This work entwines themes of worldwide concern with the political growth of nationalism because leaders with such a worldview are disinclined to co-operate internationally at a time when nations must find ways to solve common problems, such as the climate crisis. Inability to cooperate at this stage may doom everyone, eventually, to an overheated, stormy future plagued by droughts and deluges portending shortages of food and other essential commodities, meanwhile destroying large coastal urban areas because of rising sea levels. Future historians may look back at our time and wonder why as well as how our world succumbed to isolating nationalism at a time when time was so short for cooperative intervention which is crucial for survival of a sustainable earth. Pride in language and culture is salubrious to individuals’ sense of history and identity. Excess nationalism that prevents international co-operation on harmful worldwide maladies is quite another. As Pope Francis has pointed out: For all of our connectivity due to expansion of social media, ability to communicate can breed contempt as well as mutual trust. “For all our hyper-connectivity,” said Francis, “We witnessed a fragmentation that made it more difficult to resolve problems that affect us all” (Horowitz, 2020, A-12). The pope’s encyclical, titled “Brothers All,” also said: “The forces of myopic, extremist, resentful, and aggressive nationalism are on the rise.” The pope’s document also advocates support for migrants, as well as resistance to nationalist and tribal populism. Francis broadened his critique to the role of market capitalism, as well as nationalism has failed the peoples of the world when they need co-operation and solidarity in the face of the world-wide corona virus pandemic. Humankind needs to unite into “a new sense of the human family [Fratelli Tutti, “Brothers All”], that rejects war at all costs” (Pope, 2020, 6-A). Our journey takes us first to Russia, with the able eye and honed expertise of Richard D. Anderson, Jr. who teaches as UCLA and publishes on the subject of his chapter: “Putin, Russian identity, and Russia’s conduct at home and abroad.” Readers should find Dr. Anderson’s analysis fascinating because Vladimir Putin, the singular leader of Russian foreign and domestic policy these days (and perhaps for the rest of his life, given how malleable Russia’s Constitution has become) may be a short man physically, but has high ambitions. One of these involves restoring the old Russian (and Soviet) empire, which would involve re-subjugating a number of nations that broke off as the old order dissolved about 30 years ago. President (shall we say czar?) Putin also has international ambitions, notably by destabilizing the United States, where election meddling has become a specialty. The sight of Putin and U.S. president Donald Trump, two very rich men (Putin $70-$200 billion; Trump $2.5 billion), nuzzling in friendship would probably set Thomas Jefferson and Vladimir Lenin spinning in their graves. The road of history can take some unanticipated twists and turns. Consider Poland, from which we have an expert native analysis in chapter 2, Bartosz Hlebowicz, who is a Polish anthropologist and journalist. His piece is titled “Lawless and Unjust: How to Quickly Make Your Own Country a Puppet State Run by a Group of Hoodlums – the Hopeless Case of Poland (2015–2020).” When I visited Poland to teach and lecture twice between 2006 and 2008, most people seemed to be walking on air induced by freedom to conduct their own affairs to an unusual degree for a state usually squeezed between nationalists in Germany and Russia. What did the Poles then do in a couple of decades? Read Hlebowicz’ chapter and decide. It certainly isn’t soft-bellied liberalism. In Chapter 3, with Bruce E. Johansen, we visit China’s western provinces, the lands of Tibet as well as the Uighurs and other Muslims in the Xinjiang region, who would most assuredly resent being characterized as being possessed by the Chinese of the Han to the east. As a student of Native American history, I had never before thought of the Tibetans and Uighurs as Native peoples struggling against the Independence-minded peoples of a land that is called an adjunct of China on most of our maps. The random act of sitting next to a young woman on an Air India flight out of Hyderabad, bound for New Delhi taught me that the Tibetans had something to share with the Lakota, the Iroquois, and hundreds of other Native American states and nations in North America. Active resistance to Chinese rule lasted into the mid-nineteenth century, and continues today in a subversive manner, even in song, as I learned in 2018 when I acted as a foreign adjudicator on a Ph.D. dissertation by a Tibetan student at the University of Madras (in what is now in a city called Chennai), in southwestern India on resistance in song during Tibet’s recent history. Tibet is one of very few places on Earth where a young dissident can get shot to death for singing a song that troubles China’s Quest for Lebensraum. The situation in Xinjiang region, where close to a million Muslims have been interned in “reeducation” camps surrounded with brick walls and barbed wire. They sing, too. Come with us and hear the music. Back to Europe now, in Chapter 4, to Portugal and Spain, we find a break in the general pattern of nationalism. Portugal has been more progressive governmentally than most. Spain varies from a liberal majority to military coups, a pattern which has been exported to Latin America. A situation such as this can make use of the term “populism” problematic, because general usage in our time usually ties the word into a right-wing connotative straightjacket. “Populism” can be used to describe progressive (left-wing) insurgencies as well. José Pinto, who is native to Portugal and also researches and writes in Spanish as well as English, in “Populism in Portugal and Spain: a Real Neighbourhood?” provides insight into these historical paradoxes. Hungary shares some historical inclinations with Poland (above). Both emerged from Soviet dominance in an air of developing freedom and multicultural diversity after the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union collapsed. Then, gradually at first, right wing-forces began to tighten up, stripping structures supporting popular freedom, from the courts, mass media, and other institutions. In Chapter 5, Bernard Tamas, in “From Youth Movement to Right-Liberal Wing Authoritarianism: The Rise of Fidesz and the Decline of Hungarian Democracy” puts the renewed growth of political and social repression into a context of worldwide nationalism. Tamas, an associate professor of political science at Valdosta State University, has been a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University and a Fulbright scholar at the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. His books include From Dissident to Party Politics: The Struggle for Democracy in Post-Communist Hungary (2007). Bear in mind that not everyone shares Orbán’s vision of what will make this nation great, again. On graffiti-covered walls in Budapest, Runes (traditional Hungarian script) has been found that read “Orbán is a motherfucker” (Mikanowski, 2019, 58). Also in Europe, in Chapter 6, Professor Ronan Le Coadic, of the University of Rennes, Rennes, France, in “Is There a Revival of French Nationalism?” Stating this title in the form of a question is quite appropriate because France’s nationalistic shift has built and ebbed several times during the last few decades. For a time after 2000, it came close to assuming the role of a substantial minority, only to ebb after that. In 2017, the candidate of the National Front reached the second round of the French presidential election. This was the second time this nationalist party reached the second round of the presidential election in the history of the Fifth Republic. In 2002, however, Jean-Marie Le Pen had only obtained 17.79% of the votes, while fifteen years later his daughter, Marine Le Pen, almost doubled her father's record, reaching 33.90% of the votes cast. Moreover, in the 2019 European elections, re-named Rassemblement National obtained the largest number of votes of all French political formations and can therefore boast of being "the leading party in France.” The brutality of oppressive nationalism may be expressed in personal relationships, such as child abuse. While Indonesia and Aotearoa [the Maoris’ name for New Zealand] hold very different ranks in the United Nations Human Development Programme assessments, where Indonesia is classified as a medium development country and Aotearoa New Zealand as a very high development country. In Chapter 7, “Domestic Violence Against Women in Indonesia and Aotearoa New Zealand: Making Sense of Differences and Similarities” co-authors, in Chapter 8, Mandy Morgan and Dr. Elli N. Hayati, from New Zealand and Indonesia respectively, found that despite their socio-economic differences, one in three women in each country experience physical or sexual intimate partner violence over their lifetime. In this chapter ther authors aim to deepen understandings of domestic violence through discussion of the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of theit countries to address domestic violence alongside studies of women’s attitudes to gender norms and experiences of intimate partner violence. One of the most surprising and upsetting scholarly journeys that a North American student may take involves Adolf Hitler’s comments on oppression of American Indians and Blacks as he imagined the construction of the Nazi state, a genesis of nationalism that is all but unknown in the United States of America, traced in this volume (Chapter 8) by co-editor Johansen. Beginning in Mein Kampf, during the 1920s, Hitler explicitly used the westward expansion of the United States across North America as a model and justification for Nazi conquest and anticipated colonization by Germans of what the Nazis called the “wild East” – the Slavic nations of Poland, the Baltic states, Ukraine, and Russia, most of which were under control of the Soviet Union. The Volga River (in Russia) was styled by Hitler as the Germans’ Mississippi, and covered wagons were readied for the German “manifest destiny” of imprisoning, eradicating, and replacing peoples the Nazis deemed inferior, all with direct references to events in North America during the previous century. At the same time, with no sense of contradiction, the Nazis partook of a long-standing German romanticism of Native Americans. One of Goebbels’ less propitious schemes was to confer honorary Aryan status on Native American tribes, in the hope that they would rise up against their oppressors. U.S. racial attitudes were “evidence [to the Nazis] that America was evolving in the right direction, despite its specious rhetoric about equality.” Ming Xie, originally from Beijing, in the People’s Republic of China, in Chapter 9, “News Coverage and Public Perceptions of the Social Credit System in China,” writes that The State Council of China in 2014 announced “that a nationwide social credit system would be established” in China. “Under this system, individuals, private companies, social organizations, and governmental agencies are assigned a score which will be calculated based on their trustworthiness and daily actions such as transaction history, professional conduct, obedience to law, corruption, tax evasion, and academic plagiarism.” The “nationalism” in this case is that of the state over the individual. China has 1.4 billion people; this system takes their measure for the purpose of state control. Once fully operational, control will be more subtle. People who are subject to it, through modern technology (most often smart phones) will prompt many people to self-censor. Orwell, modernized, might write: “Your smart phone is watching you.” Ming Xie holds two Ph.Ds, one in Public Administration from University of Nebraska at Omaha and another in Cultural Anthropology from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing, where she also worked for more than 10 years at a national think tank in the same institution. While there she summarized news from non-Chinese sources for senior members of the Chinese Communist Party. Ming is presently an assistant professor at the Department of Political Science and Criminal Justice, West Texas A&M University. In Chapter 10, analyzing native peoples and nationhood, Barbara Alice Mann, Professor of Honours at the University of Toledo, in “Divide, et Impera: The Self-Genocide Game” details ways in which European-American invaders deprive the conquered of their sense of nationhood as part of a subjugation system that amounts to genocide, rubbing out their languages and cultures -- and ultimately forcing the native peoples to assimilate on their own, for survival in a culture that is foreign to them. Mann is one of Native American Studies’ most acute critics of conquests’ contradictions, and an author who retrieves Native history with a powerful sense of voice and purpose, having authored roughly a dozen books and numerous book chapters, among many other works, who has traveled around the world lecturing and publishing on many subjects. Nalanda Roy and S. Mae Pedron in Chapter 11, “Understanding the Face of Humanity: The Rohingya Genocide.” describe one of the largest forced migrations in the history of the human race, the removal of 700,000 to 800,000 Muslims from Buddhist Myanmar to Bangladesh, which itself is already one of the most crowded and impoverished nations on Earth. With about 150 million people packed into an area the size of Nebraska and Iowa (population less than a tenth that of Bangladesh, a country that is losing land steadily to rising sea levels and erosion of the Ganges river delta. The Rohingyas’ refugee camp has been squeezed onto a gigantic, eroding, muddy slope that contains nearly no vegetation. However, Bangladesh is majority Muslim, so while the Rohingya may starve, they won’t be shot to death by marauding armies. Both authors of this exquisite (and excruciating) account teach at Georgia Southern University in Savannah, Georgia, Roy as an associate professor of International Studies and Asian politics, and Pedron as a graduate student; Roy originally hails from very eastern India, close to both Myanmar and Bangladesh, so he has special insight into the context of one of the most brutal genocides of our time, or any other. This is our case describing the problems that nationalism has and will pose for the sustainability of the Earth as our little blue-and-green orb becomes more crowded over time. The old ways, in which national arguments often end in devastating wars, are obsolete, given that the Earth and all the people, plants, and other animals that it sustains are faced with the existential threat of a climate crisis that within two centuries, more or less, will flood large parts of coastal cities, and endanger many species of plants and animals. To survive, we must listen to the Earth, and observe her travails, because they are increasingly our own.

The “Autobiographical R/W/L/S Method” was deployed by eight teacher candidates to develop literacy skills and socio-emotional learning (SEL) competencies in 4th-grade students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The R/W/L/S intervention was focused on autobiographical writing. Interactions took place in a HyFlex environment with the intervention delivered through the Microsoft Teams video conferencing platform. After the intervention, students shared more information about themselves than before, demonstrating improved autobiographical literacy skills. The heightened willingness to share is indicative of trust-building among participants and therefore suggestive of socio-emotional learning. Outcomes also suggest that enhanced autobiographical literacy is beneficial to children who may once have struggled to express their feelings by alleviating stress and providing pathways to camaraderie through the sharing of autobiographical stories. The use of digital communication technology is thought to be key in allowing for these positive outcomes to occur during an international pandemic.

This chapter describes how a positive school climate can contribute to students bonding with and staying in the school. It also describes how a negative or “toxic” school climate can contribute to the dropout problem. The chapter looks at the important role of teacher(s) and how they contribute to students staying in or leaving school prior to graduation. The chapter also looks at school climate as a “therapeutic intervention.”

Many parents and teachers are often confounded when it comes to figuring out a child's presenting issues. Mental health consultants are able to note the frequency, proximity, duration and intensity of and in which the behavior(s) occur (American Psychological Association, 2013; Henderson & Martin, 2014). These professionals are equipped with the tools, education, and experience and are able to gather information, observe, and assess the challenging behaviors or presenting issues in order to formulate and conceptualize a treatment plan for the child, their parent(s), and/or the school/center based setting. Additionally, mental health consultants may offer valuable feedback; increase of knowledge, skills and awareness; development of treatment plans; and implementation of the necessary interventions. This chapter seeks to provide professionals with the definitions, differences, structure, and implementation of a mental health consultation model.

Students with specific learning disorder (SLD) account for 35% of all students receiving special education services. In the DSM-5, SLD combines four previous diagnoses into one. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) agree that children should be excluded from being diagnosed if the disorder is primarily due to environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage. They differ on the DSM-5’s exclusion for the lack of proficiency in the language of instruction. Schools can screen for SLD using the testing or the dual-discrepancy model of response to intervention (RTI). Assessment requires a comprehensive evaluation by the school. Students with SLD often suffer from poor social skills and low self-esteem. Intervention may be titrated according to the student’s level of need using multitiered systems of support. Collaborating with teachers, parents, and community providers is especially important for these students. A case example illustrates how an ecological approach can help students grow and learn.

History on PWID indicates influence of various psycho-social, biological, religious and educational factors for the existence of stereotypical attitudes towards PWID. Across the world until the mid-80's they were a marginalized group of people who were discriminated from others' who considered themselves as “normal”. But since the early part of the 21st century significant efforts have been reported across countries in integrating and mainstreaming the PWID in the community at large. To attain this challenging milestone attitude plays a very significant role. Families of PWID undergo high levels of stress and emotional reactions resulting from daily care demands, emotional distress, interpersonal difficulties (family discord), financial hardships as well as social isolation which call for intervention not just for the intellectually disabled but also with the family members. Positive attitude among the health and all professionals with humane qualities such as empathy, genuineness, unconditional positive regard towards the PWID leads to positive expectation and better outcome. Interestingly in developing countries stereotypes are based on ignorance and families find it extremely difficult to disclose the presence of Intellectual Disability (ID) as it is considered to be a ‘loss of face'' and is believed to tarnish the family reputation. Hence, families often adopt strategies to hide the existence of a disability, which in turn delays the treatment, and rehabilitation of PWID. Along with parents and family members other stakeholders like siblings and relatives, teachers, educationists, health professionals and general public's attitudes towards them are highly influential factors for their rehabilitation and integration in the mainstream community. Hence, this chapter is an attempt to focus on the importance of attitude that determines the course towards acceptance of PWID. The authors' focus is on the various perceptions towards intellectual disability and the implications of the favorable and unfavorable attitudes towards PWID since the Egyptian era in developed and developing nations. Further, the recommendations provided are for the policymakers and stakeholders to design intervention programs to alter people's attitude towards acceptance and compassion towards PWID. This is believed to help in their rehabilitation, and integration into the society at all levels and thereby reduces the prejudice and discrimination towards them.

This conference paper aims to elucidate the attuning processes between teacher knowledge and the learning moment of the students, in interactive situations within the university classroom, under a situated perspective and in real-time; specifically, in relation to the process of didactical interpretation. An episode performed by an expert teacher is analyzed; it took place in the Clinical Nursing subject of the nursing degree and was about the use of the physiological serum in certain situations. The analysis focuses on the interaction between the teacher and the students, adopting a research methodology close to the ethnography of communication -in its microethnographic aspect-, adopting the sequence S-T-S' (student-teacher-student) as the unit of analysis. The results show how the teacher has the ability to evaluate the appropriateness of the students’ interventions in situ, thanks to which she is able to adjust her response (dynamic coupling), generating a pedagogic resonance. Concurrently, it can also be seen how, beyond tuning in with a particular student, she manages to tune in with the rest of the class (collective attunement).
