Analýza cizojazyčných interakcí v kontextu rané imerze. Kvalitativní výzkum komunikačních strategií na základě videozáznamu. / Analysis of foreign language interactions in the context of early immersion. Qualitative research of communication strategies based on videorecording.

KŘIKAVOVÁ, Alena January 2017 (has links)
This diploma thesis focuses on teaching German language to preschool children in Czech nursery schools. The theoretical section defines the conditions of early foreign language learning and opinions on it, and presents arguments for early German as a second language learning. Suitable methods for education of preschool children are discussed as well. The aim of this thesis is to determine and compare how early foreign language learning is realized in particular preschool institutions, based on the information from videos made within the project "Intercultural education of children, students and teachers". E.g. whether the children understand instructions given in foreign language and the teacher's speech, the extent to which the communication takes place in German within the group, which activities are most often used, the ways or forms of implementation of these activities and whether they meet the conditions of early foreign language learning. The diploma thesis summarizes the education methods of individual preschool institutions and identifies potential mistakes made, and it suggests more effective ways of teaching.

Examining multiple dimensions of fidelity and their relation to student reading outcomes: A retrospective analysis of kindergarten interventions

Parisi, Danielle Marie, 1982- 06 1900 (has links)
xiii, 122 p. : ill. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / This dissertation study explored the dimensions of fidelity to aid both researchers and practitioners in their measurement of the construct and use of the data. Understanding the dimensions of fidelity is important for three reasons: (a) limited agreement on a definition, (b) variability in measurement, and (c) inconsistent relations demonstrated between fidelity and outcomes. Leaders in the fields of program evaluation, behavioral health, psychology, and education have begun to promote an expanded definition of fidelity that looks beyond whether surface level components of interventions were delivered to include examination of whether interventions are delivered with quality and whether students are engaged. With this issue in mind, an expanded definition of fidelity was used to explore surface/content dimensions of fidelity or total fidelity, quality/process dimensions of fidelity, and student engagement. Specifically, this study examined how these dimensions relate to each other and how each dimension relates to student literacy outcomes. Multi-process multi-level models were used to study the interrelations among the dimensions of fidelity and the interrelations among the group level fidelity measures and multiple measures of student literacy development. The results of this study indicated that the construct of fidelity is multidimensional and potentially more complicated than has been discussed in the literature to date. When examining the relations among the dimensions of fidelity, total fidelity and quality were highly related, quality and engagement may be related, and total fidelity and engagement were not related. The relation between total fidelity and student outcomes was in the opposite direction of what was hypothesized--lower total fidelity was related to higher student outcomes. The relation between student engagement and student outcomes was in the hypothesized direction--higher engagement was related to higher student outcomes. The relation between quality of delivery and student outcomes was also in the hypothesized direction with higher quality related to higher student outcomes. The results highlight several issues related to fidelity that need to be considered by both researchers (measuring multiple components, repeated assessment, data analytic methods) and practitioners (how and what to measure, general variability in implementation, use of the data) in the field of education. / Committee at large: Elizabeth Ham, Co-Chairperson, Special Education and Clinical Sciences; Kenneth Merrell, Co-Chairperson, Special Education and Clinical Sciences; David Chard, Member, Special Education and Clinical Sciences; Yvonne Braun, Outside Member, Sociology

No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 947307 bytes, checksum: 9f89fc2c3417e6b2076d850f765d1740 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-03-31 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This work was to focus the child as a fundamental right, focusing on the concepts of management of the Reference Center for Education Infantil (CREI's) the city of Joao Pessoa - PB, about early childhood education as a form of social protection. The research was guided considering the early childhood education as one of the most efficient forms of social protection of the young child. The study was conducted with 15 managers of CREI's selected in view of the following criteria: diversity of geographical location of CREI; age of the manager, time of expertise in managing the Children's Education; time of expertise in management of institutions of Education Child; and training of management. All 15 subjects studied were female. With an average age of 46 years, being 14 top-level and 1 of average level. The instrument for data collection was a semi-structured interview, which included the following questions: 1) How do you see the early childhood education as a right of the child?; 2) In what ways do you consider the educational practices of care / education in the perspective of effectiveness of the rights of the child?; 3) For you to early childhood education is a form of social protection?; 4) As the early childhood education contributes to the social protection of children's rights? The interviews were recorded on digital media - MP3 then transcribed. Following the criteria for the completion of the analysis of content, according BARDIN (1997), were constructed categories of analysis: perceptions about the right of the child to kindergarten; relation care - education - effectiveness of children's rights in relation kindergarten -- effectiveness of social protection of the rights of children. Analyses indicate that early childhood education is a right of the young child in the perception of managers. This in fact shows a line between their words and what determines the Brazilian educational standardization. But still linger remnants of conceptions assistencialista that prioritize the rights of working mothers to the detriment of the rights of children. The results show the perception of early childhood education as a right justified and not guaranteed, as well as a conceptual incompleteness of the managers in that the subjects pointed standard required to provide kindergarten (State, family and society). Despite the data of the research show that the managers reported work in harmony with the relationship care / education, their speeches have dissociam contradictions that the dimensions of the relationship. The data extracted that there are ideas of managing the design of small children as being integral. Note the presence of conceptions of both early childhood education that emphasize their point care as other covering other dimensions. We constructions of wrong perceptions they attach to CREI'so power to ensure the social protection of children isolating them from the outside world, and others who emphasize the importance of interaction with the networks of integral protection of children and adolescents. Finally, this study indicates the making of searches later that address the early childhood education as one of the most efficient ways of achieving human dignity in their most varied dimensions. / Este trabalho teve como tema central a infância enquanto direito fundamental, enfocando as concepções de gestoras de Centro de Referência da Educação Infantil (CREI s) do Município de João Pessoa PB, acerca da educação infantil como forma de proteção social. A pesquisa foi norteada considerando a educação infantil como uma das formas mais eficientes formas de proteção social da criança pequena. O estudo foi realizado com 15 gestoras de CREI s selecionadas tendo em vista os seguintes critérios: diversidade de localização geográfica do CREI; idade da gestora; tempo de atuação da gestora na Educação Infantil; tempo de atuação na gestão de instituições de Educação Infantil; e formação inicial da gestora. Todos os 15 sujeitos estudados eram do sexo feminino. Com idade média de 46 anos, sendo 14 de nível superior e 1 de nível médio. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi a entrevista semi-estruturada, que contemplou as seguintes questões: 1)Como você vê a educação infantil enquanto direito da criança?; 2)De que forma você considera as práticas educativas do cuidar/educar na perspectiva de efetividade dos direitos da criança?; 3) Para você a educação infantil é uma forma de proteção social?; 4) Como a educação infantil contribui para a proteção social dos direitos da criança? As entrevistas foram gravadas em mídia digital MP3, em seguida transcritas. Seguindo os critérios para a realização da Análise de conteúdo, segundo BARDIN (1997), foram construídas as categorias de análise: percepções sobre o direito da criança à educação infantil; relação cuidado - educação - efetivação dos direitos da criança; e relação educação infantil efetivação da proteção social dos direitos das crianças. As análises indicam que a educação infantil é um direito da criança pequena na percepção das gestoras. Esse fato nos demonstra uma conformidade entre suas falas e o que determina a normatização educacional brasileira. Contudo, ainda perduram resquícios de concepções assistencialista que priorizam o direito das mães trabalhadoras em detrimento do direito das crianças. Os resultados demonstram a percepção da educação infantil como sendo um direito justificado e não garantido, assim como uma incompletude conceitual das gestoras na medida em que apontam os sujeitos normativamente obrigados a fornecer a educação infantil (Estado, família e sociedade). Apesar dos dados da pesquisa mostrarem que as gestoras relatam trabalharem em harmonia com a relação cuidado/educação, seus discursos apresentam contradições que dissociam as dimensões da referida relação. Dos dados extraímos também que há no ideário das gestoras a concepção de criança pequena enquanto ser integral. Notamos a presença de concepções de educação infantil tanto que ressaltam seu aspecto assistencial como outras que abrangem demais dimensões. Vemos construções de percepções equivocadas que atribuem aos CREI s o poder de garantir a proteção social das crianças isolando-as do mundo externo, e outras que ressaltam a importância da interação com as redes de proteção integral da criança e do adolescente. Por fim, este estudo aponta a feitura de pesquisas posteriores que contemplem a educação infantil como um das mais eficientes formas de consecução da dignidade da pessoa humana em suas mais variadas dimensões.

O brincar, desde os tempos imemoriais, faz parte da vida humana. Salientamos o papel cada vez maior das instituições sociais e culturais criando espaços de interação lúdica, mostrando sua importância preventiva e curativa para melhores desempenhos futuros. Buscamos suporte teórico na teoria interacionista, basicamente centrada nos estudos de Jean Piaget, bem como em reflexões acerca de outros autores. O trabalho de campo foi delineado como pesquisa exploratória e envolveu dois momentos. A aproximação inicial, através de questionário, permitiu traçar o perfil dos profissionais educadores, subsidiando a abordagem qualitativa no segundo momento, através de entrevista semi-estruturada. Pudemos observar nas categorias de análise:significado do brincar - importante para o desenvolvimento em geral; brincar como preparação para o trabalho - a percepção da promoção de competências para o futuro; preparação da educadora como mediadora - ocorrem muitas vezes por iniciativas próprias; espaço do brincar nas creches e pré-escolas - disponibilizado às crianças, apenas quando tudo já estiver sido feito. Constatamos a complexidade para os educadores infantis, embora instintivamente aceito, de se apropriar do brincar, e a percepção de como que a espontaneidade das crianças, está tolhida no adulto. A participação do adulto no brincar das crianças torna-se benéfica para ambas as partes, garantindo maior entendimento de sentimentos, atitudes, pensamentos e diferenças mútuas. Possibilitando às pessoas que influenciam a vida das crianças, conhecer, compreender e reconhecer fatores que possibilitam o aprender a ser, a estar no mundo e a lidar com valores. / In this study, we tried to understand the meaning of playing for the educators, having as central axis, the focus in the infantile education - day care center and kindergarten, in the municipal district of Batatais, involving the totality of the day care center. The playing, since the immemorial times, it is part of the human life. We pointed out the paper every larger time of the social and cultural institutions creating spaces of playful interaction, showing its preventive and healing importance for better future performances. We looked for theoretical support in the interactionist theory, basically centered in Jean Piaget's studies, as well as in reflections concerning other authors. The fieldwork was delineated as exploratory research and it involved two moments. The initial approach, through questionnaire, allowed tracing the educating professionals' profile, subsidizing the qualitative approach in the second moment, through semi-structured interview. We could observe in the analysis categories: meaning of playing - important for the development in general; to play as preparation for the work - the perception of the promotion of competences for the future; preparation of the educating as mediatress - they happen many times for own initiatives; space of the playing in the day care center and kindergarten - made available the children, just when everything be already made. We verified the complexity for the infantile educators, although instinctively accept, of appropriating of playing, and the perception of as that the children's spontaneity, is hindered in the adult. The adult's participation in playing of the children becomes beneficial for both parts, guaranteeing larger understanding of feelings, attitudes, thoughts and mutual differences. Facilitating to people that influence the children's life, to know, to understand and to recognize factors that facilitate learning to be, to be in the world and to work with values.

Culturas infantis = crianças brincando na rua e em uma pré-escola na cidade da Praia (Cabo Verde) / Peer culture in the early years : children playing on the street and at a preschool in Praia city (Cabo Verde)

Santos, Dijanira Noemy Vieira Lopes dos 12 March 2010 (has links)
Orientador: Ana Lúcia Goulart de Faria / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Educação / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-17T04:43:29Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Santos_DijaniraNoemyVieiraLopesdos_M.pdf: 1745982 bytes, checksum: 02f41cea5f62a56bea45d302724ddd74 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010 / Resumo: Este estudo etnográfico teve como propósito a observação e reflexão sobre as brincadeiras de crianças nas ruas, como também as realizadas no cotidiano de um jardim infantil na cidade da Praia, capital de Cabo Verde - África. A pertinência deste estudo se insere no coletivo de produções acadêmicas com criticas ao colonialismo, que vem sendo empreendidas no Brasil e em nível internacional sobre infâncias e crianças, pequenas e grandes, fundamentadas nos referenciais teóricos da Sociologia da Infância na busca incessante de notar as crianças como sujeitos de direito, produtoras de cultura, e protagonistas da construção social, histórica e cultural. A pesquisa envolveu crianças de diversas idades, com enfoque para as de zero a seis anos. Dentre os procedimentos metodológicos adotados para análises constam: documentos escritos, entre eles, poemas e textos literários, no intuito de compreender a infância caboverdiana a partir das múltiplas representações sociais; entrevistas (história oral) com homens e mulheres caboverdianos sobre suas infâncias; observações nos espaços da rua e de um jardim de infância, para devidas anotações no caderno de campo; e imagens fotográficas e filmagens. Ao longo da investigação foi possível observar que a rua constitui-se também como espaço de educação, onde crianças de idades diferentes interagem reproduzindo, inventando, imitando e produzindo as culturas infantis. Essas ações se entrecruzam com o pertencimento de origem - língua materna (crioulo caboverdiano), música, gastronomia, dança, contexto geográfico, e outros artefatos ressignificados num encontro entre o novo e o legado deixado por gerações anteriores. Com isso verifica-se que culturas infantis denotam uma hibridação nas diversas formas em que meninos e meninas apropriam-se de repertórios de brinquedos e brincadeiras, universalmente conhecidos. A rua torna-se, então, um dos lugares privilegiado de socialização de crianças pequenas em Cabo Verde, estejam elas participando ou não, de jogos e de brincadeiras na interação com os pares, crianças maiores e adultos, e também, sozinhas. A presença de crianças com menos de seis anos, bebês, confirmou a hipótese inicial de que elas estariam na rua, ainda que no colo de alguém. O espaço da rua, de acordo com a pesquisa, se evidencia como espaço da resistência para os pequenos que por vezes, em jogos e brincadeiras são preteridos pelas crianças maiores em virtude da idade, tamanho ou destreza física, mas que nem por isso deixam de usufruir desse espaço. Com relação ao jardim de infância, a pesquisa revelou que, com crianças dos quatro aos cinco anos, a cultura se manifesta na construção de ações com significados partilhados, mesmo sob o controle dos adultos, demonstrando a coexistência de relações de poder, conflitos, solidariedade entre os pares nas suas reproduções e criações. Em suma, é possível, a partir deste estudo na África, afirmar concordando com pesquisas realizadas em outros continentes, que é na produção das culturas infantis que as crianças entre elas, e com os adultos e adultas formulam e mostram sua interpretação da sociedade que as cercam. / Ruzumu: Kel studu itinografiku li, djobi ozerba y rafleti brinkaderas di mininus na rúa y n'un járdin di mininus na sidadi di Práia, kapital di Kabu Verdi - Afrika.

The pertinence of this study is based on the group of academic productions that criticize the colonialism that has been carried out in Brazil, and around the world, related to childhood and children, young or older, based on theoretical references of Sociology of Childhood in the continuous search to identify the children as right-holders, who produce culture and who play a leading role in social, historical, and cultural construction. This survey has included children of different ages, especially those between zero and six years old. The methodological procedures adopted for the analysis are: written documents such as poems and literary texts, in order to understand Cape Verdean childhood from the several social representations; interviews (oral history) with Cape Verdean women and men about their childhood; observations in the street and in a kindergarten, written down in the notebook; and pictures and films. Throughout the survey, it was possible to observe that the streets are also an educational place where children of different ages can interact, reproduce, create, imitate, and produce childhood cultures. These actions cross mutually with original belonging - mother tongue (cape Verdean creole), music, gastronomy, dance, geographical context, and other re-significant artefacts where new things meets the legacy of past generations. Therefore, it is possible to verify that childhood cultures denote an interbreeding in the different ways that girls and boys catch hold of the universally known repertories of toys and plays. The street becomes a privileged place for young children socialization in Cape Verde, even participating or not, a place of games and plays, a place to interact with the partners, older children and adults, and also alone. The presence of children under six (babies) has confirmed the initial hypothesis: that they would be in the streets, even carried by someone else. According to the survey, the street is a place of resistance for those small ones that sometimes are excluded by older children due to their age, height, or physical skill. However this does not stop them from enjoying this space. With regard to kindergarten, the survey has proved that, in relation to children between four and five years old, the culture is revealed in the construction of actions with shared meanings, even when controlled by adults, revealing the coexistence of relations of power, conflicts, and solidarity between the partners in their reproduction and creation. To sum up, from this study in Africa, it is possible to confirm and agree with the surveys carried out in other continents that it is in the production of childhood cultures that the kids, and with the adults, create and show their interpretation of the society that surround them. / Mestrado / Ciencias Sociais na Educação / Mestre em Educação
