On the other hand, the results of researches, such as Vale e Pimentel (2005) and Machado (2006) among others, emphasized the importance of working with the observation and generalization of patterns to develop the algebraic thinking, which can help to overcome this problem. This situation and the suggestion help me to decide to investigate if high school students in a situation of patterns observation and generalization could construct an algebraic formulation of a general term of an arithmetic progression. To collect data drafted a didactic sequence based on the assumptions of Didactic Engineering as described by Machado (2008). The didactic sequence occurred in tree sessions with the participation of some of my students, all volunteers. For the conclusion I took into account only the results of the data analysis of 11 students present at all sessions. The results led me to conclude that, although students have expressed in natural language a formula for the general term, it was not enough to convert this result for the symbolic algebraic way / Tem sido amplamente divulgada o mau desempenho dos alunos do Ensino Médio em relação a questões de Matemática e especialmente da Álgebra. Por outro lado, os resultados de pesquisas, como os de Vale e Pimentel (2005) e de Machado (2006), entre outros, enfatizam a importância do trabalho com a observação e generalização de padrões para o desenvolvimento do pensamento algébrico, o que pode auxiliar na superação desse problema. Essa situação e a sugestão me levou a investigar se alunos da segunda série do Ensino Médio frente a atividades de observação e generalização de padrões de seqüências constroem uma fórmula para o termo genérico de uma Progressão Aritmética. Para a coleta de dados, elaborei uma seqüência didática embasada nos pressupostos da Engenharia Didática, conforme descrita por Machado (2008). Realizei três sessões com a participação de alguns de meus alunos, todos voluntários. Para a conclusão levei em conta somente os resultados das análises do desempenho de 11 alunos que estiveram presentes em todas as 3 sessões. Os resultados me levaram a concluir que, embora os alunos tenham expressado em linguagem natural uma fórmula para o termo geral, isso não foi suficiente para converterem esse resultado para uma forma simbólica algébrica

This work assumptions that there is a Deaf culture; however, this is still not socially or academically, recognized; this condition, is essential to affirmation of Deaf rights. The main claim sustained here is a Deaf Curriculum, made up by Deaf community which the natural language applied is LIBRAS; because is a right to the deaf subject an education that recognizes and values its own difference, characteristic and peculiarities: a Deaf Culture. Current education is not able to guarantee the rights to a Deaf subject mainly because of incapacity and/or unaccepting of their own culture and identity and it’s happening because of the knowledge lack around Deaf culture. Also impacts directly on their development and specially does not supports their rights as citizens as well. To investigate this issue this doctoral dissertation presents an study from the main experts in Deaf Culture; analysis of some studies regarding Deaf Culture; theories of identity, and also of Deaf Identities and also the epistemology of Brazilian Sign Language – LIBRAS. Also it’s going to present a research in curriculum, raising the critical points regarding of pre-training, bringing issues about political rights of Deaf community, we propose the curriculum that is presented by the Deaf, the Curriculum in LIBRAS. To sustain the whole theory, looked for discuss the practice of all these ideas and reflections as well. The Deaf communities was the subject of this research and were analyzed and observed directly under the school space, choosing spaces that is prioritizing the use of LIBRAS to teaching, as the case of current Bilingual Schools (it’s offered in few places in Brazil, since it is not an offer guaranteed, schools where is being using the native language of the Deaf). It has been proven that experiences shared within of deaf community allow the Deaf to feel able and lives an own culture The deaf that grown up in contact with other Deaf, are raised to live in a Deaf reality, since that period, up to adults, participating in the Deaf movements, building up their own identity and enable to enjoy fully their citizenship, in full exercise of their rights / O objetivo central desta tese é desvelar o elo entre a cultura Surda e o currículo escolar e a importância de se trabalhar com ambos unificados como um só: um Currículo Surdo. Trazemos neste trabalho o pressuposto de que existe cultura Surda, no entanto, isto ainda não está, socialmente e academicamente, reconhecido; condição esta que é indispensável para a afirmação dos direitos dos Surdos. O direito que sustentamos aqui é de um Currículo Surdo, constituído pela comunidade Surda e cuja língua natural é Libras; pois é de direito ao sujeito Surdo uma educação que reconheça e valorize sua sua diferença e suas especificidades, suas particularidades: a Cultura Surda. O problema fundamental, então, é que a educação não tem sido um direito assegurado aos Surdos devido a seu impedimento e à inaceitação de sua cultura e identidade; e isso se dá pelo desconhecimento da cultura Surda; desconhecimento tal que impede o reconhecimento da mesma, o seu desenvolvimento no currículo escolar dos Surdos e, sobretudo, o cumprimento de seus direitos como cidadãos. Para investigar este problema, apresentamos, no decorrer desta tese, um estudo a partir dos principais e precursores estudiosos da Cultura Surda; análise de alguns estudos consolidados da Cultura Surda; teorias da Identidade, das Identidades Surdas, do Ser Surdo e da Epistemologia da Língua de Sinais. Após localizar também a pesquisa em currículo, levantar críticas à semi-formação, trazer questões do desempoderamento e direitos políticos dos Surdos, propomos o currículo que é apresentado pelo Surdo, o Currículo em Libras. Para sustentar toda a teoria, buscou-se discutir também a prática de todas estas concepções e reflexões. O objeto de pesquisa foram as comunidades surdas, analisadas sob observação participativa dentro do espaço escolar, escolhendo espaços de aprendizagem que priorizassem o uso da Libras, como é o caso das atuais Escolas Bilíngues (oferecidas em poucos lugares do Brasil, já que não é uma oferta garantida, escolas onde a língua de instrução é a língua materna dos Surdos). Comprovou-se que as experiências compartilhadas dentro da comunidade surda permitem aos Surdos se sentirem capazes e sujeitos culturais. Surdos que crescem em contato com outros Surdos são criados para viver em uma realidade Surda e desde esse período, até quando já adultos, participando dos movimentos Surdos, constroem sua identidade e se habilitam a usufruir inteiramente de sua cidadania, no pleno exercício dos seus direitos

The topic of the thesis is the use of translation exercises in foreign language lessons (namely Spanish). The first part of the thesis deals with the development of foreign language teaching, the status of mother tongue (and translation) in foreign language teaching, positive cross-linguistic transfer and interference. Further, individual methods of foreign language teaching are analyzed. It is stated whether or not the translation exercises are used for each of the methods. In the second part, we find the definition and categorization of the translation and examples of the translation exercises. The last part is focused on stylistics (narrative techniques, writing genres and functional styles). The specifics of translation are listed and the translation exercises are suggested for each functional style.

Thesis (M. A. (Language Education)) -- University of Limpopo, 2017 / This study investigates the methods of teaching poetry to English First Additional (EFAL) secondary school learners in the Shiluvane Circuit, in order to establish whether their teaching and learning methods equip them as second or additional language poetry teachers at secondary school level. Although English plays a significant role as a language of instruction at the secondary level in South Africa, underperformance at secondary school examinations has generated a continuous debate with many suggesting that the standards of English language competence has declined. Also the role of teachers is usually questioned whenever issues of learners’ performance are raised. The study focuses on the methods of teaching that English first additional language teachers use in poetry to instil the passion for the genre. This study was conducted in rural secondary schools. Forty learners from grade ten classes and their teachers participated. The study used qualitative approaches for gathering information through lesson observations, learners’ focus group interviews and teacher interviews at four secondary schools to evaluate the application of English poetry teaching. A case study design was used using 4 schools. This study is informed by Lev Vygotsky’s constructivist or socio-cultural theory (1978). Literature consulted points to the fact that the Shiluvane Circuit secondary teachers seem to avoid teaching poetry. This reveals that only four out of eleven secondary schools exposed their learners to poetry during their EFAL lessons. The findings also revealed that most respondents lacked interest in English poetry. Instead the learner interacting through cooperative or collaborative group work they competed against each other and believe in witchcraft should they share their learning experiences with fellow learners. The study recommended the use of different methods, such as cooperative learning, to teach poetry. Culturally relevant poems also add to the interest of the learners.

This field study examines the comparative effectiveness of traditional and humanistic teaching methods. In part I the origins of humanistic teaching and their relationship to Gestalt therapy are considered. The influence of Humanistic education adult learning theory is also discussed. Part I concludes with an assessment of humanistic teaching. Part II: To measure the comparative effectiveness of the humanistic and traditional teaching methods, three groups of first year students in General English classess in a College of Technical and Further Education were selected. The effectiveness was measured in terms of differences in 1. Self-esteem. 2. Spelling Ability. 3. Attrition rates. 4 Academic Results. It can be concluded that there is: No difference in measures of self-esteem between groups, on the basis of the teaching method used. A large increase in the measure of self-esteem was observed in one of the groups that was taught with humanistic teaching strategies. Spelling measures showed no significant changes in any of the groups. Attrition rates were significantly reduced in groups that received humanistic teaching. Academic results of students completing the course showed no significant differences.

Detta examensarbete visar på vilka faktorer somyngre elever finner motiverande när det kommer till att skriva en skolblogg. Undermin senaste verksamhetsförlagda utbildning genomförde jag projektet skolblogg.Alla elever i åk 5 fick starta varsin skolblogg. Under mina fem veckors praktikså observerade jag att eleverna tyckte detta var ett roligt sätt att arbeta på.Jag har intervjuat 12 av eleverna i denna klass för att ta reda påmotivationsfaktorerna till skolbloggsskrivandet. De faktorer som jag kom framtill är: att andra kan läsa, att få göra något nytt och annorlunda, att få mertid med datorn, att få skriva, att kunna läsa klasskompisarnas skolbloggar, attfixa med designen mm. Kunskap om elevers motivation får oss lärare att förståeleverna bättre vilket i sin tur leder till att vi kan anpassa undervisningen.Förhoppningsvis kan detta arbete leda till att lärare kan få en insyn iskolbloggen som undervisningsmöjlighet och bidra till en förståelse för attInternet ger oss den möjligheten. / This thesis demonstrates thefactors that young pupils find motivating when it comes to writing a schoolblog. During my last teacherpractice I introduced school blogs to all the students in year 5. The studentsworked with the blogs for five weeks and I observed that the majority of thestudents really enjoyed this teaching method. I haveinterviewed 12 students in the class to find out what the factors of theirmotivation were about working in this way. I found out that the factors thatmotivated the students the most was: the importance of multiple readers, thefact that they got to do something different and exiting, to get more time withthe computer, to write, to read their classmates blogs and to play around withthe design and layout of the blog etc. Thisinformation will help teachers to understand what students find motivating aboutwriting school blogs and also to understand that we have good use of the differentpossibilities that the Internet can offer us in the way of finding new methodsto teach.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of constructivist instruction on the achievement, attitude towards science teaching, science process skills and retention of fourth grade preservice science teachers in Science Teaching Methods II course. Two groups (one experimental and one control) were assigned from Hacettepe University Faculty of Education Department of Science Education. Experimental group consisted of 53 preservice science teachers and the control group consisted of 50 preservice science teachers / totally 103 preservice science teachers participated in this study. Quasi experimental research design was used in this study. Constructivist instruction was used in experimental group and traditional instruction was used in control group during the teaching and learning process. This research study was conducted in fall semester of the 2007-2008 academic year and lasted 15 weeks including the final examination term. Science Process Skills Test, Attitude towards Science Teaching Scale and Achievement Test in Science Teaching Methods II course were administered to participants three times / at the beginning of the study, immediately after the implementation process and 10 weeks later. A mixed between within ANOVA with repeated measures was used as a statistical technique for analyzing quantitative data and both descriptive and content analysis was used for analyzing questionnaire, formative and summative focus group interviews. Statistical mean difference was obtained for all tests in favor of experimental group and the findings of quantitative data analysis results were supported by the qualitative data analysis results. After interpreting the results, it can be claimed that constructivist instruction is effective in preservice science education.
