The case study, which was based on the epistemology of Paulo Freire, has as its main plea the use of radio on the internet and takes as starting and arrival point, the voice of the subjects (teacher and student), mediated by the use of technologies in a way of favoring the participation on the curriculum construction and, consequently, the learning process and empowerment. It is a case study about the project called Rádio Jacaré FM (FM Alligator Radio), a pedagogical action that takes shape on the use of radio on the internet, accomplished by a kindergarten teacher and her students from the municipal public network. The research involved the analysis of the directors , the teacher s and sixteen students voices. The research points out, under consideration, that the dialogical action based on Paulo Freire s pedagogy makes the assumption of subjects (teacher and students) while curriculum constructors, by their participation on the radio on the internet, what potentiates the expression of their voices on the classroom dimension which also covers other spaces outside the school and in the digital world / Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo refletir sobre integração de tecnologias da informação e comunicação ao currículo. O estudo de caso, fundamentado na epistemologia de Paulo Freire, tem como argumento central o uso da rádio na internet e toma como ponto de partida e chegada a voz dos sujeitos (professor e aluno), mediatizada pelo uso das tecnologias, de forma a favorecer sua participação na construção do currículo e, por conseguinte, a aprendizagem e o empoderamento. Trata-se de um estudo de caso sobre o projeto Rádio Jacaré FM, uma ação pedagógica que se concretiza no uso do rádio na internet, realizada por uma professora de educação infantil e sua turma de alunos e alunas da rede pública municipal. A pesquisa envolveu a análise da voz dos gestores, da professora e de dezesseis alunos e alunas. A pesquisa aponta, a título de considerações, que a ação dialógica (dialogicidade) fundamentada na pedagogia freireana oportuniza a assunção dos sujeitos (professor e aluno) enquanto construtores do currículo, por meio da participação da rádio na internet que potencializa a expressão de sua voz na dimensão da sala de aula que também abarca outros espaços fora da escola e no mundo digital

No. of bitstreams: 1 Maria do Carmo Custodio.pdf: 1700987 bytes, checksum: 8d438671ba4fde82cf931f71a7947be7 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-05-19 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / This research aims to understand and analyze the implications of educational policies for improving the teaching, post LDB 9394/96, in the process of professionalization of teaching in basic education, especially in kindergarten and early years of elementary school. Considering the professional differences between teachers in initial and final stages of basic education, research is directed toward the analysis of teacher s professional development of kindergarten and early years of elementary school in the municipal schools of Uberaba-MG. Like a conceptual cutout, the study focuses on two axes of discussion and analysis: first, the theoretical debate on the issues related to teaching and professionalization of teaching, and second, the management of public policies aimed at valorization of teaching in the context of the educational reforms arising from the LDB 9394/96, focusing fundamentally training and career. These axes allow us to think the complexity of links and interpenetrations within the process of professionalization of faculty teaching, the tension between public policy of valorization of teaching, when taking the dimensions of training and career as a unit and the implications for the teacher s professional valorization in kindergarten and early years of elementary school. This is a qualitative research with a descriptive and exploratory mold, with the principles of Freire's epistemology dialectic. For the survey, was used as procedures: a bibliographical and documentary research, application of questionnaires and semistructured interviews. For the research of lifting of empiric data were investigated educational managers and teachers working in kindergarten and early years of elementary schools of the municipal school of Uberaba-MG. This study allowed us to realize that policies for valorization of teaching, in those matters which relate to training and career are historically intertwined with the problem of quality of public education. With regard to the teaching profession, we can see a split between those who possess knowledge or not a socially recognized knowledge. In this sense, teaching in kindergarten and early years of primary education is still not recognized as a profession by society and governments in its training and career policies. The discourse of professionalism has been constituted as a contradictory set of values in the articulation of production and reproduction that has served to maintain the devaluation of the teaching profession and to legitimize the control and the reforms sought by the State. Thus, the discourse of the professionalization of the educational policies converges in practices against the professionalization / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender e analisar as implicações das políticas educacionais de valorização do magistério, pós LDB 9394/96, no processo de profissionalização do magistério na educação básica, especialmente na educação infantil e nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. Considerando as diferenciações profissionais existentes entre os professores das etapas iniciais e finais da educação básica, a investigação está direcionada para a análise da valorização profissional do professor da educação infantil e anos iniciais do ensino fundamental na rede municipal de ensino de Uberaba-MG. Como recorte conceitual, o estudo centra-se em dois eixos de discussão e análise: primeiro, a discussão teórica em torno dos aspectos relativos ao trabalho docente e profissionalização do magistério, e segundo, a gestão das políticas públicas direcionadas à valorização do magistério no contexto das reformas educacionais decorrentes da LDB 9394/96, enfocando fundamentalmente a formação e a carreira. Esses eixos permitem pensar a complexidade das relações e interpenetrações existentes no processo de profissionalização do magistério docente, a tensão entre as políticas públicas de valorização do magistério, quando se toma as dimensões da formação e da carreira como unidade e as implicações na valorização profissional do professor da educação infantil e anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. Trata-se de uma investigação de natureza qualitativa, com caráter descritivo-exploratório, tendo como princípios a epistemologia dialética freireana. Para a realização da pesquisa, foi utilizado como procedimentos: a pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e a aplicação de questionários e entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Para a pesquisa de levantamento de dados empíricos foram investigados gestores educacionais e professores que atuam na educação infantil e anos iniciais do ensino fundamental de escolas da rede municipal de ensino de Uberaba-MG. Este estudo possibilitou perceber que as políticas de valorização do magistério, nos aspectos que se referem à formação e a carreira estão, historicamente, entrelaçadas à problemática da qualidade do ensino público. No que diz respeito ao magistério como profissão percebe-se uma fratura entre os que possuem ou não um conhecimento reconhecido socialmente e, nesse sentido, o magistério na educação infantil e anos iniciais do ensino fundamental ainda não é reconhecido como profissão pela sociedade e pelos governos em suas políticas de formação profissional e carreira. O discurso da profissionalização tem se constituído em um jogo contraditório de valores na articulação das esferas da produção e da reprodução que tem servido para a manutenção da desvalorização do magistério e para legitimar o controle e as reformas pretendidas pelo Estado. Assim, o discurso da profissionalização das políticas educacionais se convergem em práticas desprofissionalizantes

The purpose of this study was to examine the cognitive types and functions of questions orally posed by early childhood teachers in kindergarten through 3rd grade during a 90-minute literacy block. The cognitive types of questions were determined by the criteria established using Hess’ Cognitive Rigor Matrix (Hess, Jones, Carlock, & Walkup, 2009). The functions of the posed questions were determined by criteria based on the work of Costa (2001), Hughes (as cited in Fusco, 2012), and Lowery (as cited in Fusco, 2012). This study examined questioning strategies used by 12 early childhood teachers from a Northeast Tennessee School District. The 12 teachers orally posed questions were recorded, scripted, and coded by the researcher to determine each question’s type, frequency, and function and how these indicators serve to increase student engagement during the literacy block. Results from the study show that the majority of questions posed are low in cognitive level requiring students to perform primarily at the basic level of remembering and understanding. The primary function of the recorded posed questions called for students to verify their understanding and many closed questions were asked during the documented lessons. The time teachers gave students to answer a question was minimal and a single student generated response was the predominant vehicle used to glean an answer to a presented question. While the teachers in this study appeared to understand the importance of posing high level cognitive questions in order to increase Common Core Standards instruction, results from this study showed that there seems to be a disconnect between what teachers think they do and their actual practice in regard to posing effective questions as a strategy for active student engagement and learning.

Although public education in the United States has had remarkable growth and improvement since its beginning, significant inadequacies concerning racial equity continue to cast a shadow on the system. Despite desegregation efforts and specific attention to providing integrated school settings there has been little progress in establishing educational justice. The purpose of this case study was to uncover perceptions about racial inequity within Asheville City Schools as well as potential facilitators of equity. A qualitative case study using 10 guiding research questions was conducted to evaluate the perceptions of parents as well as educators at Asheville City Schools Preschool regarding racial inequities and potential facilitators of equity. Transcripts from a Racial Equity Photovoice Project were used to identify perceptions of the presence and the impact of racial inequity as well as assets of, barriers to, and potential facilitators of equity. Findings indicate parents and educators agree that barriers of racial equity include elements of negative societal influences, antiquated educational policies and procedures, inapt curricula and instruction, external systems that perpetuate biases, meager funding structures and poor home-school connections. Further, findings indicate parents and educators agree that diverse student bodies and faculties, culturally and social-emotionally relevant curricula and instruction, positive relationships between educators and children, and authentic 2-way communication are potential facilitators of racial equity. Overarching themes incorporate concerns related to resources, mandates, personal narratives, and relationships. This research adds to the literature related to racial equity and has implications for practice as well as future research.

Children born to teen mothers tend to score lower on language development assessments and to have school readiness delays. To support teen mothers and their children in improving language development, educators need information about mothers' daily interactions with their children and how they contribute to their children's language development. The purpose of this descriptive case study was to understand mothers'perceptions of how they influenced their children's language development through play, routines, and other informal interactions. Flavell, Vygotsky, and Bruner's views on how learners' construct knowledge informed the study. Research questions were focused on the mothers' perceptions regarding interactions during routines and during play and on the mothers' beliefs about how influential they were developing their children's language skills. Data were gathered through semistructured interviews, journals, and follow-up questions addressed in narratives or additional interviews. A combination of a priori and open coding was used to support inductive analysis. Participants believed that they influenced their children's development and wanted to increase what they know about overall development and specifically language development. They indicated that they did not have enough time for reading, that they used songs and chants frequently, and that participation in the study made them think more about the importance of conversations shared within activities. The results of this study may help teen mothers, their families, and those who provide education and support to teen mothers in mentoring groups, faith-based support groups, and alternative high schools. Social change will occur when young parents are supported in enhancing the lives of their children.

Children begin to develop their understanding of gender in preschool, yet there is a dearth of research focused on understanding how preschool teachers affect the gender identity development of young children. Guided by Rokeach's belief systems theory, this qualitative case study explored the pedagogical strategies and perceptions of 4 Sacramento County, California preschool educators related to the gender identity development of young children. Interview data were collected and coded to derive 12 participant-specific themes and 3 common intersecting themes, which showed that teachers' perspectives on gender identity development were influenced by social rules, biases, and a lack of pedagogical knowledge related to more expansive definitions of gender. As a result of the lack of pedagogical knowledge, there was only 1 gender-related instructional strategy concerning gender roles, and this strategy was used by only 1 of the 4 respondents. Although they may have shown confusion relating to aspects of gender, these preschool teachers demonstrated a genuine interest in learning how to create safe spaces for gender exploration in the preschool classroom. These findings have led to the creation of a professional development series designed to educate preschool teachers about gender identity development, provide them with opportunities to develop curricula, and allow them to reflect upon their cisgender-related biases. Educators, administrators, and policymakers may find it useful to apply the results of this study and resultant project when creating educational programs and college-level curricula and policies. The results could also help educators create affirmative educational environments for all children, regardless of their biological sex, gender identity, or gender expression.

本研究旨在探討團隊式、主從式、輪流式之合班教學類型其教師課堂經驗與幼兒課程經驗之內涵。本研究使用自編之「幼兒課程經驗記錄表」與「教師課堂經驗記錄表」進行結構式之觀察，觀察對象為台北市公立幼稚園「團隊式」、「主從式」、「輪流式」班級之教師及幼兒，各兩班；觀察時間從早上九點至下午四點，共18天，並於觀察結束後進行教師訪談。 分析結果發現，教師課堂經驗層面，(一)團隊式教師之合作方式以「共同主導」為主，工作內容以「教學相關內容」為主。而「共同討論」比例最高，深度亦是最深，「常規」管理之時間最少。(二)主從式教師合作方式以「一主一協」為主，除中午生活活動時段「獨自帶領」比例提升；工作內容以「教學相關內容」為主。(三)輪流式教師合作方式以「獨自帶領」為主，除中午生活活動時段以「共同主導」為主；工作內容以「照料幼兒」為主，由於獨自帶領比例高，因此「常規」比例最高。 幼兒課程經驗層面，(一)三種合班教學類型皆以「生活活動」比例最高，「學習活動」次之，「轉銜活動」最少。其中上午時段以「學習活動」為主，中午以「生活活動」為主。(二)「學習活動」以「團隊式」、「主從式」之比例最高；「生活活動」以「輪流式」比例最高；「轉銜活動」以「主從式」、「輪流式」比例最高。(三)下午時段，「團隊式」、「主從式」以「學習活動」為主，但主從式多為角落與各類遊戲活動；「輪流式」則以「生活活動」為主。(四)三種合班教學類型之共同參與者皆以「教師與同儕」為主；活動主導者皆以「教師主導」為主；目標明確度以「團隊式」最高。 本研究亦發現，(一)三種合班教學類型其個別指導比例皆偏低，其與研究者進班觀察時間有關。(二)「團隊式」、「主從式」教師間會交流資訊；影響教師參與專業成長活動因素為教師時間與體力、研習內容等。(三)教師兼任行政工作之影響為中斷教學、增加教師負擔、提升教師獨自帶領比例等。(四)公幼並非完全無注音教學，原因為幼小銜接、因應家長需求。(五)自然科學比例較低，美術活動多為繪畫，素材多為彩色筆、蠟筆，缺乏多元性。 最後根據以上之結論，研究者針對幼稚園教師、幼稚園所、教育行政機關及後續研究提出建議。 關鍵字：合作教學、教學類型、課堂經驗、課程經驗、幼稚園 / The main purpose of this study is to discuss teachers' experiences and young children's experienced curriculum in three co-teaching types of classrooms, including “team work type”, “teach- assist type”, and “ rotation type”. This study uses “children's experienced curriculum record” and “teachers' experiences in the classroom record” to do the structural observation. Researcher observed three co-teaching types of classrooms choosing from Taipei city public kindergartens, two classrooms for each co-teaching type, totally six classrooms, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., totally 18 days, and interviewed teachers after observation. Following are the results of this study: First, on the part of teachers' experiences, (A) The primary cooperation way of team work type is “leading together”, and the primary work of team work type is about teaching. Besides, the percentage of discussion is the most, and the classroom- rule management is the least. (B) The primary cooperation way of teach- assist type is “one teach and one assist”, but the percentage of “leading alone” is increased only in the period of noon, and the primary work is about teaching. (C) The primary cooperation way of rotation type is “leading alone”, the percentage of “leading together” is increased only at the time of daily routine in the period of noon, and the primary work is about taking care of children. Besides, the percentage of classroom- rule management is the most. Second , on the part of children's experienced curriculum, (A) In all three types of co-teaching, “daily routine ” has the highest percentage of the context of curriculum, the “learning time” has the second most percentage, and the “transition time” has the least. And the primary activity in the period of morning is “learning”, while the primary activity in the period of noon is “daily routine ”. (B) “Learning time” in the team work type and teach-assist type classrooms is the most, and the “ rotation type” classrooms have the most “daily routine ” time. The teach-assist type and “rotation type” classrooms have the most percentage of “transition time” (C) In the period of afternoon, the primary activity in the team work type and teach- assist type classrooms is “learning time”, but teach- assist type classrooms have more learning corner and play time. And the primary activity in the “rotation type” classrooms is “daily routine ”. (D) The co-participants in all three types of co-teaching classrooms are teachers and peers, and teachers are the main leaders in the activities. And the goal of team work type is most explicit. This study also found, (A) The reason that the percentage of “individual instruction” in the three types of co-teaching classrooms is low, is because of the researcher’s observation time. (B) Teachers belong to team work type and teach-assist type usually exchange information. The factors affect teachers on attending professional development activities are their time, energy, and training programs. (C) The effects that teachers participate in administrative works are interrupting teaching, increasing teachers’ burden, and the percentage of “leading alone”. (D) Owing to the demand of transition from kindergarten to primary school, and the expectations of parents, there still be Chinese phonetic symbol teaching in public kindergartens. (E) The percentage of science curriculum is low. The art activities are mainly drawing, and the materials of art are mostly crayons or color pens, which are lack of varieties. On the basis of the results, this study proposes some suggestions for kindergarten managers, administrations, teachers, and researchers. Key words: co-teaching, teaching type, teachers' experiences, young children's experienced curriculum, kindergarten

Abstract The purpose of this exploratory, qualitative single case study was to explore the Full Service Community Schools model in one, urban elementary school. More specifically, the study sought to understand the impact this model had on students and teachers at one particular research site. This study was also intended to examine the impact the Full Service Community School model had on the role of school administrators. The research questions that guided this study were: (1) How does the Full Service Community School model impact students? (2) How does the Full Service Community School model impact teachers? (3) What impact does the Full Service Community School model have on the role of school administrators? The study found students who were struggling academically were assigned a volunteer that served as a tutor and provided individualized instruction to the students. These students were found to complete their classwork and homework when working with tutors while practicing academic skills they had not mastered. Findings also suggested students formed relationships with their tutors which prompted personal dialogues to occur. Students would talk to their tutors about problems they were facing at home and school. In addition, this study also found aggressive and defiant students were provided a volunteer who served as a mentor. These students would work on social, emotional and behavioral skills. Mentors would motivate the students to behave appropriately in school and reward them when this was accomplished. Lastly, the after school component of the Full Service Community Schools model was found to impact students because it gave students a safe and structured environment to attend when the regular school day had ended. The findings of the study found the Full Service Community Schools model impacted teachers in several ways. Volunteers serving as mentors and tutors worked with the most challenging students. This gave teachers more instructional time to work with other students. When volunteers listened to students’ problems, teachers were freed up to continue teaching. Also, teachers were able to relinquish responsibilities to the volunteers who worked with students. The volunteers gave teachers an extra set of hands in the classroom. Lastly, this study found the Full Service Community School model impacted the role of administrators the least. The model put extra responsibilities on principals due to having extra individuals in the building during and after the school day. Administrators also had to coordinate the schedules of these individuals. On a positive note, volunteers working with disruptive students did assist administrators because these students were less likely to visit the office.

本研究旨在探討幼兒家長對幼兒的學習期望與如何確認期望達成之歷程。因過去的相關文獻以量化調查研究為主，缺乏質性觀點；又過去多以消費者行為模式探討選擇幼兒園的決策行為，但不能深入了解家長選擇這些因素背後的想法。因此本研究以質性訪談的方式，探究家長對幼兒的教育期望、對幼兒園的課程期望與這些期望如何被達成或期望是否改變的歷程，試圖建構家長在選擇幼兒園與對幼兒期望之間的關係。 研究設計上，先就過去文獻之研究進行整理與分析，提出尚未被探究及可深入探究的議題，蒐集相關資料而擬定訪談大綱，針對台北市公私立幼兒園大班家長進行深入訪談，公私立幼兒園各兩所共計十四位家長。 本研究結論可歸納為下列五點： 一、教育期望:公私立家長對幼兒學習的教育期望主要皆為生活自理、人際互動、品格個性與認知學習等等；而在認知學習上公私立幼兒園家長看法不同。 二、課程期望:公私立家長對幼兒學習的課程期望都會先要求教學方式，再要求與教育期望相關的課程內容，其中，私立家長進而要求認知方面的課程；此外，公私立家長都會期望園所在音樂或工作等美感領域課程上進行多元化或才藝教學。 三、期望確認:公私立家長都會將選擇幼兒園前的期望與選擇後的經驗做確認，確認方式以觀察幼兒在學校或家庭中的行為表現為主，而參與園所活動也是家長了解課程的一種方式。四、滿意度:樣本家長對幼兒園滿意度高，滿意的項目集中在課程與師資上；而期望確認及其歸因推論影響滿意度。五、期望改變:公立幼兒園家長對幼兒的課程期望會因園所特色而改變，並隨著上小學的時間拉進，公私立家長皆會增加與銜接小學相關的新期望。 根據研究結論，本研究對幼兒園提出以下建議，做為增進幼兒園品質參考： 一、幼兒園需要了解家長的期望，跟著家長一起做確認，幫助教師與園所看見家長觀點進而反思與成長。二、建立園所教學特色並努力發展，成為有深度的課程。 三、教師應幫助家長用更多的方式來確認學習，以客觀的資料去補充主觀的觀察結果。四、教師應讓家長看見教學的多元化，用不同的方式讓家長了解音樂或美術等方面的課程是包含在原本的課程規劃中；教師也應加強美感領域課程的專業能力。 / The purpose of this study is to inquire parent's perspective of early children’s learning expectation and outcomes confirmation. There are many quantitative studies about this process, while few are conducted qualitatively. In the past few years, most research focus on how to make a decision to choose kindergartens by consumer’s decision behavior. But we can’t understand what the real reasons of the parents’ decision. This study explores the parents’ educational expectations on early children in a qualitative way, including curriculum expectations and how these expectations will be achieved or changed, attempt to construct the relationship between the choice of kindergartens and child learning expectations. In this research, we review prior studies and purpose issues that has not yet been explored and can be in-depth inquired, gathering relevant information and arranging the interview outline for the Taipei public and private kindergarten parents, a total of fourteen parents in two public and two private kindergartens. The conclusions of this study can be summarized as the following five points: First, educational expectations: public and private kindergarten parents have different views on the cognitive learning. Second, the curriculum expectations: In addition to the curriculum related to educational expectations, parents would expect the music or arts-type learning, they hope kindergarten provide the field of diversified curriculum or skills and talent teaching. Third, expectation confirmation: parents really do expect confirmation, confirm the performance of the main way to observe the behavior of children in school or at home, and participate in kindergarten activities also the way of parents to confirm the curriculum. Forth, satisfaction: parents kindergarten satisfaction is high, satisfactory project focused on curriculum and teacher; expect recognition and attributed inference affect satisfaction. Fifth, the expectations change: the curriculum expectations of public kindergarten parents will change with kindergarten’s features, and parents would increase the new expectations related to the convergence Primary.
