Stöd eller styrning? : En studie av Skolverkets stödmaterial

Forssbeck, Mikael, Lindahl, Camilla January 2018 (has links)
I den här studien undersöktes hur Skolverkets stödmaterial kan påverka lärares autonomi. I studiens teoretiavsnitt presenteras begreppet continuing professional development  (CPD) som handlar om den fortbildning lärare förväntas genomgå under sitt yrkesliv och hur CPD kan ses som ett sätt att styra lärares arbete. Skolverket anses vara en betrodd källa vid val av fortbildning. I avsnittet behandlas även vad autonomi innebär för lärare. Studiens empiriska material bestod av fyra av Skolverkets stödmaterial i undervisningen. Det analytiska verktyg som användes för att kunna undersöka stödmaterialens påverkan på autonomin baserades på LaCoes (2008, s. 39) sex dimensioner av den individuella autonomin. I studiens forskningsöversikt presenteras ett urval av den forskning som genomförts rörande styrningen och olika faktorer som kan påverka styrningen av den svenska skolan. I bakgrunden presenteras den Tillitsdelegation som Regeringen tillsatte år 2016 för att undersöka hur styrningen av bland annat skolan kan förbättras och hur reformerna påverkat hur styrningen av skolan sett ut. Studiens resultat visade att lärares autonomi kan påverkas av innehållet i stödmaterialen och att stödmaterialen kan anses styrande. Analysen av empirin visar även att det finns detaljstyrning i materialens innehåll som liknar en regelstyrning.

Caminhos para o Advento da Escola de Aprendizes Artífices de São Paulo: um Projeto das Elites para uma Sociedade Assalariada / Paths to the advent of São Paulo School of Apprentice Artificers (1910-1930): a Project of the Elites for a salaried society

D\'Angelo, Márcia 18 May 2000 (has links)
O objetivo desse trabalho foi caracterizar a Escola de Aprendizes Artífices de São Paulo, criada em 1909, como uma instituição que atendia às especificidades de São Paulo na época, como nacionalizar os trabalhadores, majoritariamente estrangeiros. Assim, cuidava-se de transmitir a língua e a cultura brasileira; a disciplina baseada na assiduidade, pontualidade, respeito à hierarquia e principalmente educar os futuros artífices, mestres e contra mestres, através de um ensino racional e científico, no sentido de descaracterizar o conhecimento empírico desses trabalhadores. A referida escola, apesar de ter sido criada por Nilo Peçanha, possivelmente, no sentido educar os desfavorecidos da fortuna, ilustrando a tese de uma elite brasileira, não representativa do polo dinâmico e que propunha, no Congresso Agrícola de 1878, no Rio de Janeiro, o aproveitamento da mão-de-obra livre pobre e ex-escrava, acabava por corresponder às expectativas da burguesia moderna paulista, que, no mesmo Congresso, fora vencedora ao propor o uso do imigrante no mercado de trabalho livre nacional. Diferentemente de suas congêneres nacionais. o seu alunado era formado por filhos de operários, profissionais urbanos e pelos próprios operários. Enquanto isso, e dando continuidade ao projeto da fração de elite moderna paulista, houve na década de 1920 a criação da Escola de Mecânica Prática do Liceu de Artes e Ofícios , a criação do Centro Ferroviário de Ensino e Seleção Profissional em 1934 e em 1942 a criação do SENAI, tendo como figura chave o engenheiro suíço Roberto Mange, inaugurando a seriação metódica, com a parcelização da produção e a requalificação por função, indicando um processo que iria ocorrer nas Escolas de Aprendizes Artífices de modo muito mais moroso. / The purpose of this work was to characterise the São Paulo School of Apprentice Artificers (\"Escola de Aprendizes Artífices de São Paulo\"), founded in 1909 as an institution to meet the specific needs of the city then, such as nationalising the workers, which were mostly foreigners. Being so, the Brazilian language and culture were taught there, as well as a discipline based on assiduity, punctuality and hierarchical respect ; and above all, the future artificers, masters and quartermasters were educated by means of a rational and scientific teaching, aiming to disqualify these workers previous empirical knowledge. This school, although having possibly been created by Nilo Peçanha in order to educate the unfortunate, illustrating, thus, the thesis of a Brazilian elite which did not represent the dynamic pole and which proposed, at the 1878 Agricultural Congress in Rio de Janeiro, the use of the free, poor and ex-slave work force, in fact turned out to meet the modern São Paulo bourgeoisies expectations. At such Congress, this class succeeded when proposing the use of immigrants in the free national job market. Unlike its national counterparts, the pupils at this school were workmen, their children and urban professionals. Meanwhile and continuing the project of part of this modern elite in São Paulo, in the 1920s the School of Practical Mechanics at the Arts Lycée (\"Escola de Mecânica Prática do Liceu de Artes e Ofícios\") was created, as w3ell as the Railroad Centre for Professional Teaching and Selection (\"Centro Ferroviário de Ensino e Seleção Profissional\") in 1934 and SENAI in 1942, headed by the Swiss engineer Roberto Mange. An orderly and mass production sequence was then initiated, together with requalification by functions, indicating a process which would take place at the Schools of Apprentice Artificers, but at a much slower pace.

Teaching at the interface: Curriculum and pedagogy in a teachers' institute on Virginia Indian history and cultures

Heuvel, Lisa L. 01 January 2011 (has links)
In the 1990s, as Virginia Indians faced the 2007 quadracentennial of Jamestown's founding, they initiated plans to publicly correct inaccuracies and omissions embedded in the historical narrative. The Beyond Jamestown: Virginia Indians Past and Present Teachers' Institute was one such initiative through the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities' Virginia Indian Heritage Program. Designed for educators' professional development regarding Virginia Indian history and cultures, the Institute's first two years (2007 and 2008) featured a Virginia Indian-developed curriculum with both Native and non-Native presenters.;This qualitative, interpretivist study sought evidence of teaching at the interface of cultures by these invited presenters using pedagogy and curriculum as units of analysis, and questioned whether they shared an educational vision or paradigm despite different cultural backgrounds. The study revealed that the Institute demonstrated effective collaboration among presenters influenced by both Indigenous and European-American paradigms It exposed participating educators to a little-known period in Virginia history--the era of the Racial Integrity Act of 1924 and segregation--through the stories of tribal experts who experienced the attempted eradication of cultural identity. These oral histories contributed to the distinct Virginia Indian epistemology that emerged in the program. The BJTI also demonstrated Virginia Indians' 21st-century agency in inviting its non-Native presenters and participating educators to collaborate in decolonizing Virginia education.

The relationship among professional recommendations, certification standards and preservice program requirements in early childhood special education

Fore, Lisa Gaye 01 January 1992 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among competencies recommended by the Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children (DEC/CEC), state requirements for teacher certification, and college and university personnel preparation program requirements for educators working with children with disabilities from birth-5 years of age. The study included all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The groups of subjects interviewed by phone consisted of state Part H coordinators, department of education staff, and college and university professors from early childhood education (ECSE) programs.;Overall the results indicate an increase in the number of states requiring certification in early childhood special education and in the number of college and university preparation programs since the passage of P.L. 99-457 in 1986 and the 1991 Part B mandate for states to serve 3 year old children with disabilities. as the nation proceeds in implementing the preschool mandate and moves toward the fifth year of services of Part H for infants and toddlers with disabilities, this growth is crucial to the success of newly developed programs for the education of young children with disabilities. The number of states issuing certification to early childhood special educators has grown from 19 in 1989 (37%) to the 37 (71%) identified in this study. This indicates an increase of 18 additional states requiring certification.;This increase is also shown in college and university teacher preparation programs. Four states currently have no college or university teacher preparation programs in early childhood special education, while forty-seven states have one or more teacher preparation programs in ECSE. Thirty states have more than one preparation program.;Teacher preparation program requirements appear to be equally extensive as state certification regulations; however the correspondence between state certification requirements and college and university requirements appears to be low. The results of this study indicate that state requirements and college and university preparation program requirements appear to be focusing on different content but an equal number of courses and/or competencies. The overlap among state certification requirements, college and university requirements and the 15 DEC/CEC competency recommendations was only 3.4.

School-university partnerships: An exploration of the relationship

Wood, Daisy Bertha 01 January 1996 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of a particular model for collaboration when applied to a successful school-university partnership. A specific framework for establishing and maintaining successful school-university partnerships, proposed by Frank Wilbur of Syracuse University, was identified in the literature. Wilbur's model was selected as the conceptual framework for this study since it contains critical elements supported by at least four other researchers studying and writing on collaborative endeavors and was, in fact, the most comprehensive of any of the suggested conceptual frameworks. The answer to one overall research question was sought: to what extent does Wilbur's model for school-university partnerships fit when applied to a highly successful school-university partnership? Answers to questions pertaining to Wilbur's nine most important factors (e.g., leadership; economics; governance and communication) positively impacting interinstitutional alliances were explored in an existing school-university partnership known as the Center for Collaborative Advancement of the Teaching Profession.;Historical documents regarding the Center, including the initial grant proposal, interim and final reports, and published articles, were reviewed for content and consistency in answering the main and subsidiary research questions. Individual, paired, and focus group interviews were conducted with persons felt to be most knowledgeable of the Center's activities.;Evidence that particular elements of successful partnerships were considered and included in the design, implementation, and maintenance of the collaborative effort was sought to determine the extent to which Wilbur's model could be applied to this partnership. The nine factors included in Wilbur's conceptual framework for creating successful school-university partnerships were evident, in varying degrees, in the establishment and maintenance of the Center for the Collaborative Advancement of the Teaching Profession. However, the data indicated that the success of the Center may also be attributable to a tenth factor which Wilbur's model does not include.

Emotions in Teaching: Self-Compassion

Freeman, Stacey 01 June 2016 (has links)
It has been hypothesized that negative emotions, left unresolved, contribute to feelings of burnout experienced by teachers. Self-compassion offers a kind, mindful way of approaching difficult emotions. The purpose of this study is to explore how teachers experience self-compassion by qualitative means. In semi-structured interviews, four elementary school teachers shared critical incidents of self-doubt or disappointment in their teaching. They also completed Neff's (2003a) Self Compassion Survey. Through intra-case and cross case analysis the findings revealed how teachers' lived experiences include episodes of conflict, reflection, resolution, and self-compassion, but in differing orders. Also, participants experienced self-compassion in ways that align with previous work on self-compassion, however an additional element of support seeking emerged. This study provided a context to understand the common ways in which self-compassion was lived out in the classroom while highlighting the differences in participants' experiences. This additional insight into the lived experience of the teachers adds to the body of knowledge regarding emotionality in the classroom and positive ways that teachers can and do regulate emotion through self-compassion. Additionally, participants' drive to seek support from others exposed a social side of self-compassion that Neff's (2003a) definition or a simple dictionary definition did not include.

Professional Learning Committee Team Functionality and Team Trust

Wood, Chris S. 01 July 2015 (has links)
In response to increasing demands placed on public education, professional learning communities (PLC) have emerged as a means of providing teachers with opportunities to collaborate together. Collaboration has been shown to improve teaching practices and lead to better student outcomes. Many collaborative teams, however, struggle to reach their collaborative potential. Trust has been shown to be an important factor contributing to the success of collaborative efforts. Few studies exist that empirically assess the relationship between team functionality and team trust. This study examines the relationship between these two constructs. A measurement tool was developed by the author to measure PLC team functionality based on five domains of functionality. Team trust was measured by a preexisting tool developed by Costa & Anderson (2010) based on four dimensions of trust. Multiple regression analyses were performed to assess the strength of the relationship between PLC team functionality and team trust. Control factors such as team stability, years of teaching, and principal support were included in the analysis. Findings showed a positive, significant relationship between the five domains of PLC team functionality and the four dimensions of team trust. While individual relationships between domains of functionality and dimensions of trust varied, between 46%-60% of variability in team functionality was explained by team trust. This study demonstrates the importance of trust in collaborative efforts of PLC teams as well as highlights a more complex relationship between the two constructs than previously understood in the literature.
