Despite the feeling of exploitation, control and domination present in the administration of this kind of school, which generate anguish and suffering, these professionals demonstrate a pleasurable relation with their working environment. In order to investigate this issue we select theoretical definitions for three fundamental categories: the organization as a system of mediations, the power relation perceptions and the individual as a suffering subject. Based on these definitions we tried to analyze the patterns of power exerted over the teachers by the school organizations and to demonstrate the subjectivity construction process of these individuals within this relation. We carried out eight semi directed interviews with secondary private school teachers, using as technique the psychological interviews for obtaining data and the sociomental approach of dialectical perspective for analyzing these data. The use of this methodology yielded two significant life dimensions of these interviewees during their school years formation: the evocation and reenactment of the aguish and pleasure conflict which will be operated by the organization and the discovering of affinity with an area of knowledge which will interfere in his/her course of life. In the working environment the teacher faces the power of the school organizations in two dimensions: on one hand, coercive, repressive and castrating mechanisms for a rigorous commitment to the rules and the threat of dismissal, on the other hand, a system for the mediation of these contradictions ...(Complete abstract, click electronic address below)

Orientador: Elisa Tomoe Moriya Schlünzen / Banca: Myrtes Alonso / Banca: Anna Augusta Sampaio de Oliveira / Resumo: A presente investigação, vinculada à linha de pesquisa Práticas Educativas e Formação de Professores, pretende contribuir para a construção da Escola Inclusiva. Para tanto, objetivou analisar como estavam presentes as referências à inclusão na organização pedagógica de escolas públicas e privadas de Presidente Prudente. A obrigatoriedade da inclusão escolar está assegurada por meio de leis e decretos elaborados em busca de uma sociedade que supere os processos de exclusão e segregação existentes na educação. No entanto, o acesso e permanência de alunos que desafiam os saberes estabelecidos e a forma de lidar com o conhecimento provoca a escola a fazer mudanças em sua organização pedagógica e que culminarão em um novo Projeto Pedagógico. Apesar de atuar em nível de intenções, o Projeto Pedagógico intenciona fazer a escola rever suas relações com a forma de trabalho com as diferenças, especialmente com os alunos que requerem necessidades educacionais especiais. A pesquisa teve características de um estudo qualitativo do tipo exploratório atuando em um universo composto por quatro escolas da cidade de Presidente Prudente, sendo duas públicas e duas privadas. Nestes ambientes o procedimento de coleta dos dados se deu através da análise documental dos Projetos Pedagógicos das quatro escolas bem como de entrevistas com os gestores de cada instituição. Os Projetos Pedagógicos e as entrevistas constituíram um conjunto de informações para perceber se as referências que as quatro escolas expunham acerca da Inclusão ocorriam de forma explícita e/ou implícita, de acordo com as seguintes categorias elencadas como relevantes de serem modificadas em uma escola para se tornar inclusiva: o trabalho coletivo, a forma de trabalho com as diferenças, as regras e os limites, a avaliação, a organização do espaço físico...

The main aim was to analyze how the references to inclusion were presented in the pedagogic organization of public and private schools of Presidente Prudente. The school obligation to inclusion is assured through laws and decrees prepared for seeking a society that surpasses the existent processes of exclusion and segregation in the education. However, the access and permanence of pupils, who challenge the established knowledge, and the form of dealing with the knowledge have the school establish changes in the pedagogic organization and thus originating a new Pedagogic Project. In spite of acting in intentions level, the Pedagogic Project intends to make the school revise the relations with the form of coping with the differences, especially with pupils who apply for special educational needs. The research characterized as an exploratory qualitative study acting in a universe composed by four schools of Presidente Prudente, being two of them public and the two others private. The data collection procedure was accomplished through documentary analysis of the Pedagogic Projects of the four schools as well as interviews with the directors of each institution. The Pedagogic Projects and the interviews composed a set of information used to realize if the references exposed by the four schools about the Inclusion occurred in a explicit and/or implicit form, in accordance with the following categories, which are relevant to an inclusive school: the collective work, the form of dealing with the differences, the rules and limits, the assessment, the physical space organization, the classroom routine, the projects and the use of pedagogic materials, making allusion to the form as each school conceives concepts like inclusion and people with special...

O presente estudo situa-se no âmbito da História da Educação e tem como objetivo central demonstrar como se desenvolveu o ensino secundário na cidade do Rio Grande/RS a partir da segunda metade do século XIX, de forma a abarcar outras demandas para além da formação para o ingresso no ensino superior. Desse modo, utilizamos como corpus documental os anúncios dos colégios e aulas particulares publicados na imprensa local, sobretudo, no jornal Diario do Rio Grande de 1848 a 1890, juntamente com Relatórios, Ofícios, Mapas, Estatutos, Catálogos, Anuários e Almanaques da Província, entre outros documentos. O intuito desta tese é comprovar que o ensino secundário rio-grandino estabeleceu um novo paradigma para a educação formal, consolidando-se como uma alternativa viável para a formação intelectual de outros grupos sociais que não almejavam o ingresso no ensino superior. O ensino secundário nesta cidade diferenciava-se justamente por redimensionar a sua finalidade neste período, possibilitando que outros públicos ascendessem socialmente por meio da instrução secundária Para corroborar com a presente tese analisamos a significativa oferta de instituições de ensino secundário presentes na cidade, ao longo do período analisado, sinalizando a existência de uma demanda local oriunda de determinados grupos sociais que tinham como objetivo manter certa situação de classe que seria responsável por consolidar e sustentar os interesses das gerações anteriores e, que também estavam voltados à ascensão social através da educação formal. Identificamos que esta formação intelectual, proporcionada pelo ensino secundário, não estava somente voltada ao ingresso no ensino superior, mas, sobretudo, a uma formação cultural e profissional que o ensino primário não contemplava e que precisava ser amparada através de novas ofertas de ensino que o setor público não conseguiu abarcar, e nem mesmo, rivalizar. Desse modo, conseguimos identificar, através de diferentes indícios, que a instrução secundária, de caráter laico e particular que se desenvolveu ao longo do período imperial, consolidou-se em função de diferentes necessidades da sociedade rio-grandina que não incluía apenas a preparação para os exames de preparatórios, mas também, a formação para atuar no comércio, na política e na docência. / The present study lies within the History of Education scope and aims to show how secondary education was developed in the city of Rio Grande / Rio Grande do Sul State from the second half of the nineteenth century so as to cover other demands beyond training towards higher education entrance. For that purpose, school and private class announcements published by the local press, especially in the Diario do Rio Grande newspaper from 1848 to 1890, together with Provincial Reports, Official letters, Maps, Statutes, Catalogs, Yearbooks and Almanacs, among others, were consulted. This thesis aims to prove that the Rio Grande high school system established a new paradigm for formal education, consolidating itself as a viable alternative for the intellectual formation of other social groups that did not intend to follow higher education studies. Secondary education in this city was differentiated precisely by reshaping its purpose in this period, allowing public at large to ascend socially through high school In order to support this thesis, a significant supply of secondary education institutions in the city during the aforementioned period was analyzed, signaling the existence of a local demand by some groups that sought to maintain their social status, which served the purpose of consolidating and maintaining the interests of previous generations and which were also aimed at social ascent through formal education. This identified intellectual formation provided by secondary education was not only directed towards entering higher education, but provided, above all, cultural and professional formation that primary education did not contemplate and needed to be supported by new educational offers that the public system could not and did not rival. In this way, and through different indicators, secondary education of secular and particular character that was consolidated during the imperial period due to different needs of the Rio Grande society, including not only preparation for preparatory exams but also training in trade, politics and teaching, was identified.

Increased investment in education to build capacity and quality is essential if the world is to meet its ambitious targets on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education. There are 258 million school aged children out of school, of which 98 million are in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Low-income countries are experiencing dramatic growth in their populations and have severe limitations on their ability to fund the required infrastructure development. The financing gap is estimated to be US$ 1.8 trillion to achieve SDG goals (Education Commission, 2016). Low-Cost Private Schools (LCPS), accessible to children from poor families, are growing rapidly in SSA to fill this gap. This study is focused on the potential to increase the use of innovative financing to improve capacity and quality for LCPSs. Most innovative finance schemes utilise some form of a School Development Loan to achieve greater investment in capacity and quality of education. The study evaluates the effect of School Development Loans on several indicators which have been directly associated with capacity and quality, using data from Ghana and Uganda, countries estimated to need a combined 5 million new seats for children by 2023 (7% of their combined population) to account for population growth. Capacity indicators include the Number of Students enrolled in the school and the Number of Classrooms available for use. The indicators of school quality were Pupil Teacher Ratios (Lower), the Number of Washrooms, the Number of Washrooms Dedicated to Girls and the Number of Extracurricular Programmes Offered by the school. The study leveraged pairwise correlation and regression analysis to identify the most directly linked indicators, followed by a mean difference analysis. The study finds that schools taking out School Development Loans have more classrooms, higher enrolment, greater amounts of washrooms and extracurricular activities on offer, indicating that School Development Loans increase both capacity and quality at LCPSs. Despite the encouraging findings, it is early to assess whether the significance of the increase over time. The study recommends a fully coordinated Randomised Control Trial (RCT) for further research, where data is collected prior to the school receiving its first loan and again at the conclusion of the loan.

Thesis (MPH.) -- University of Limpopo, 2020 / The South African government provides human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination to public school girls for free. The study aimed to investigate knowledge, attitudes and practices towards HPV vaccination, of caregivers of girls aged ≥9 years in grade 4 to 7 attending private schools in South Africa. Objectives included determining levels of knowledge; describing attitudes; describing practices; and investigating levels of knowledge and attitudes of caregivers associated with HPV vaccination coverage in these girls. Turfloop Research Ethics Committee granted ethical clearance. A link to an online survey (Survey Monkey®, USA) was circulated to caregivers via an email to school principals and a Facebook advert. Epi InfoTM was used for data analysis. While 76.5% of caregivers had good knowledge about cervical cancer and HPV vaccination, 45.3% had positive attitudes towards HPV vaccination and 19.4% of the girls were vaccinated. Caregivers with good knowledge were 3.6 (95% CI: 1.6-8.0; p<0.005) times more likely to have vaccinated their daughters/wards, while caregivers with a positive attitude were 5.2 (95% CI: 2.9-9.2; p<0.05) times more likely. The low HPV vaccination uptake is concerning. Results suggest that a positive attitude towards HPV vaccination is a strong predictor of its uptake. / University of Limpopo, Anova Health Institute and National Research Foundation (NRF)

In the mid-nineteenth century, with the influx of European immigrants into the cities, public schools became the answer to the poverty and ignorance of the urban masses. Then, in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, urban public schools were again called on to educate the many African-Americans who migrated to the cities from poor Southern states. Again, the idea of mass education of the public, funded by the public, became the panacea for all the problems of city living. The civil rights movement brought a flood of litigation, and courts attempted to provide equal educational opportunities to all students, even those in poor urban localities. Currently, urban public schools face the flight of middle-income families from the cities to the suburbs, within-district flight of more affluent families to private and parochial schools, and diminishing funds with which they must serve their populations. This study explored the factors that would influence middle-income families to return or remain in urban public schools to restore the original concept of a public education for all by all (Hunter & Donahoo, 2003) / Ed. D.

Over the past six years, analyses of the National Center for Education Statistics' High School and Beyond data have primarily focused on the differences in achievement between public and Catholic high school students. Valuable data on non-Catholic private school students have been virtually ignored. Based on a strategy proposed by Althauser and Rubin (1970), in this study non-Catholic private schools are matched with public schools similar in school average base year student achievement levels, school average base year student socioeconomic levels, geographic region and racial composition. T-test results show that, among students in the most similar matches, non-Catholic private school students score significantly higher on vocabulary, reading, and a test composite of vocabulary, reading and general math scores. Public/non-Catholic private differences in basic and advanced math, science and civics are not significant although all but the civics tests show a small non-Catholic private advantage. The multiple regression analyses suggest that, for the most closely matched pairs, non-Catholic private school students have a small statistically significant advantage over public students on the 1982 reading test and test composite. However, the non-Catholic private advantage on general math, science, vocabulary and writing tests, and the public advantage on the advanced math and civics tests, are not significant. Thus, the null hypothesis stating that there are no differences between the 1982 achievement test scores of students in public schools and the tests scores of students in non-Catholic private schools is generally refuted. Yet, the differences, primarily favoring non-Catholic private school students, are small and in many cases not significant. / Master of Science
