Many artist-teachers struggle to nurture and pursue their ambitions in their dual roles. The purpose of this research is to explore the nature of the professional practices of artist-teachers. While there is a substantial amount of research that provides models of artist-teachers, who teach at the post secondary levels, there are not many models for artist-teachers who teach primary and secondary age groups. Four artist-teachers, whose practices are currently contributing to the art world, as well as the educational world, were interviewed for a multiple case study. The roles represented in the study include painters, sculptors, a ceramist, a musician, a performance artist, art teachers, a music teacher, and a performance-art educator. This multiple case study provides four models of artist-teachers whose professional practices contribute to their identity and fulfillment in their dual roles. The study reveals the artist-teacher’s practice as an artist, practice as a teacher and relationship between the dual roles.

A certain architectural &quot / ethos&quot / come into being as a result of the specific training which architects receive as producers of space, of their dual status as artists and professionals, of the conditions in which they live and the social status of their profession. This ethos is a product of the architects&#039 / collective habitus. The attitudes of architects regarding their position in the building industry, their role in society and their self-image (or its lack of) as artists determine the transformation within the architectural profession under the impact of the changes in society. This study investigates architects&#039 / professional practice by focusing only on those architects working independently and mostly having their on offices. Thirty-one architects were grouped by age, gender, the faculties from which they graduated and province of residence and work. The international influence on architectural discourse, the effects of architects&#039 / organisations and their professional ideology were introduced as additional variables for investigating the nature of their habitus. The interviews revealed that the architects&#039 / &quot / spontaneous professional ideology&quot / (SPI) is the main adhesive of their collective habitus and ethos, and it force architects to think in a specific way about space, the sovereignty of architecture, its art component, its legitamacy, architects&#039 / devotion to their profession, their feelings of superiority over clients and users as well as their overall code of conduct.

Seit 2005 untersuchen Fachbehörden in Dauerfeldversuchen unterschiedliche Bodenbearbeitungssysteme und Verfahren zum Schutz vor Wassererosion und Schadverdichtung. Sechs Fachbeiträge stellen die Wirkung auf Ertrag, Erosionsgefährdung, Infiltrationsverhalten sowie Humus- und Nährstoffgehalte dar. Dauerhaft konservierende Bodenbearbeitung ist die wirksamste Erosionsschutzmaßnahme und vermindert den Bodenabtrag durch Wassererosion um bis zu 90 Prozent. Sie führt auf sandigeren Böden und auf Lössböden in den oberen Bodenschichten zur Anreicherung von Humus, Kalium und Magnesium, in Sachsens Lössboden auch zur P-Anreicherung. Zwischen pfluglos und mit Pflug bestellten Fruchtarten gab es keine Ertragsunterschiede. Konservierende Bodenbearbeitung/Direktsaat führen gegenüber dem Pflug zum Anstieg der Bodendichte im unbearbeiteten Krumenboden und zur Abnahme der Luftkapazität. Auf Lössböden wird dies durch Wurmgänge und Wurzelröhren ausgeglichen. Lössböden können daher langfristig flach bearbeitet werden. Strukturschwache Sandböden müssen dagegen bodenzustandsabhängig intensiver und im Einzeljahr krumentief gelockert werden. Bandlaufwerke schützen Ackerflächen im Unterboden auch bei hoher Auflast von 14 t vorsorgend gegen Schadverdichtung. Schonend für das Bodengefüge wirkt eine Reifeninnendruckabsenkung in Kombination mit Vermeidung von Radlasten über 10 t.

This is an exploratory, descriptive and inferential, developed from qualitative and quantitative approaches, held in the city of João Pessoa, in the period from February to November 2010. This research was divided into two sequential phases: the first included the collection of data through a questionnaire applied to doctors and nurses of Districts I and II, and the second concerning the qualitative phase, conducted by semistructured interview for professionals health have developed some alternative strategy or tactic in their professional practices. We used the Hypothesis Test as a method of Decision Making and Technical Analysis of Discourse proposed by Fiorin (2008) for empirical analysis, aimed at the construction of empirical categories, representing every element of the work process. It was evident that health districts I and II show a distribution of physicians and nurses with similarities in relation to aspects: training, time undergraduate, graduate, area of interest to postgraduate students and encourage continuing education. Moreover differences were observed regarding gender, age, area of postgraduate uptime in Primary Care, service time at the Health Unit, Office of another activity and socioeconomic profile. The results showed a higher proportion of these professionals implementing acts and actions characteristic of health care models and Privativist Sanitarian. By analyzing the characteristics of the FHS model, it was found that most doctors and nurses, at least in the field of intention, implements health acts with a view to consolidate the principles and guidelines of this model. Regarding the development of alternative strategies or tactics, only three acts of health professionals have developed which, although not flag something innovative, it reveals a concern to overcome practices of previous models, the prospect of changing the work process. / Objetivou-se apreender as características dos modelos de atenção à saúde a partir dos atos e ações dos profissionais médicos e enfermeiros, das equipes de saúde da família dos Distritos Sanitários I e II, do município de João Pessoa-PB, identificando Estratégias ou Táticas alternativas produzidas por esses profissionais. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, descritivo e inferencial, desenvolvido a partir de abordagens quantitativa e qualitativa, realizado no município de João Pessoa-PB, no período de fevereiro a novembro de 2010. Esta pesquisa foi dividida em duas fases seqüenciais: a primeira contemplou a coleta de dados através de um questionário, aplicado aos profissionais médicos e enfermeiros dos Distritos I e II, e a segunda, referente à fase qualitativa, conduzida pela entrevista semiestruturada, aplicada aos profissionais de saúde que desenvolveram alguma Estratégia ou Tática alternativa em suas práticas profissionais. Utilizou-se o Teste de Hipótese, como método de Tomada de Decisão e a Técnica de Análise de Discurso proposta por Fiorin (2008), para análise do material empírico, visando à construção das categorias empíricas, representativas de cada elemento do processo de trabalho. Evidenciou-se que os Distritos Sanitários I e II apresentam uma distribuição dos médicos e enfermeiros com semelhanças em relação aos aspectos: formação profissional, tempo de graduação, pós-graduação, área de interesse de pós-graduação e incentivo à educação continuada. Por outro lado foram observadas diferenças com relação ao gênero, faixa etária, área de pós-graduação, tempo de atividade na Atenção Básica, tempo de serviço na Unidade de Saúde, exercício de outra atividade e perfil socioeconômico. Foi evidenciada uma maior proporção destes profissionais implementando atos e ações de saúde característicos dos modelos de atenção Privatista e Sanitarista. Ao analisar características do modelo da ESF, foi verificado que a maioria dos profissionais médicos e enfermeiros, pelo menos no campo da intenção, implementa atos de saúde na perspectiva de consolidar os princípios e diretrizes deste modelo. Quanto ao desenvolvimento de Estratégias ou Táticas alternativas, apenas três profissionais desenvolveram atos de saúde que, embora não sinalizem algo inovador, revelam uma preocupação em superar práticas de modelos anteriores, na perspectiva de mudança do processo de trabalho.

Integration of work-placements into undergraduate degrees is now established on awards linked to professional registration in healthcare. Pre-registration training forms the basis for development of capability and entry onto a professional register. This enquiry explores how key stakeholders on a programme leading to registration as a Biomedical Scientist (BMS) position themselves in their role and the subsequent impact of this upon the development of the capable BMS. It draws upon current knowledge of work-based pedagogy and utilises a constructivist grounded theory (CGT) approach to explore the perceptions and experiences of individuals and groups to develop an interpretative portrayal and deeper understanding of the implementation of pre-registration training in one region of England. Data gathering and analysis was divided into two stages. The first employed analysis of professional documents to provide an insight into current discourses around BMS training. This provided initial developing categories and directed the creation of a questionnaire. Questionnaire responses confirmed the relevance of the developing categories and a summary of responses provided an ‘ice-breaker’ to guide stage two of data gathering. This stage employed focus groups and interviews to enable a greater understanding of how individuals make sense of their experiences. Initial, focused and theoretical coding allowed synthesis and conceptualisation of the data gathered and presented direction for the enquiry. The findings expose the challenges of integrating professional registration training into an academic programme of study. Three theoretical categories were identified: Role conflict, Expectations and Ownership. Conceptualising the interactions and intersections of these categories enabled the recognition of ‘Doing the portfolio’ as a way of describing and conceptualising the stakeholders positioning within the current programme. The registration portfolio has become an objective reductionist measure of learning, reflecting the positivist typology of practice in this profession. This provides a theoretical explanation as to how the programme is delivered and why there is a need to rethink conceptualisation of the role of the programme in supporting pre-registration training and the development of the capable BMS. To ensure that BMS students are supported to develop not only technical skills but also professional capability there is a need for a paradigm shift from a positivist episteme to one that embraces both the positivist and socio-cultural paradigms, viewing them as complementary and parallel. The novel research approach used in this enquiry has generated rich insights into how stakeholders interact with the pressures of internal and external influences and the impact this has upon behaviours and strategies adopted. The theoretical understanding proposed, which recognises the tensions emerging from a positivist typology of practice, has a range of implications for practice and for the development of practitioner capability through pre-registration training and beyond.

Esta tese de doutorado aborda o processo de formação e a prática profissional dos educadores da rede pública municipal e estadual da cidade de Igrejinha, RS. Este é um estudo de caso que segue a teoria materialista e utiliza as categorias filosóficas do Materialismo Dialético, as categorias sociológicas do Materialismo Histórico e também as categorias da Economia Política de Marx. A partir do Materialismo Dialético, analisamos os princípios, as leis e as categorias que estão imbricadas no processo de formação dos professores e também envolvidas em sua prática profissional. Esta tese é caracterizada como um estudo de caso que procura analisar as contradições existentes entre a formação e a prática profissional dos professores da rede pública municipal e estadual de ensino dentro de uma visão de totalidade. Com esta tese procuramos conhecer e compreender as contradições existentes entre a formação e a prática profissional e, num segundo momento, sugerimos ações concretas e viáveis no sentido de melhorar a prática dos educadores em sala de aula e, conseqüentemente, contribuir para a melhoria do nível de qualidade da educação pública na cidade de Igrejinha, RS. Nesta tese, afirmo que as contradições existentes entre a formação e a prática profissional dos educadores estão relacionadas com o baixo nível de qualidade da educação igrejinhense e também contribuem para que haja um clima de desânimo e desmotivação entre os professores, alunos e os diferentes profissionais que estão envolvidos com a educação. Os dados que expusemos nesta tese são provenientes de pesquisas em fontes bibliográficas e documentais e, como técnicas de coletas de dados, utilizamos a entrevista semi-estruturada e a observação semi-dirigida das aulas de dez professores. A partir desta tese, podemos afirmar que é urgente a viabilização de projetos destinados a organização de ações concretas voltadas à formação continuada/permanente dos professores para que estes consigam harmonizar mais a dimensão teórica com a dimensão prática presentes no processo pedagógico. O aumento dos investimentos em educação para a concretização de uma política salarial justa, bem como o aumento dos salários, são soluções que se impõem em regime de urgência como saída para estimular os professores que lutam em diferentes salas de aula em diversas turmas de alunos. Preconizamos que a educação e a formação são fenômenos políticos capazes de contribuir no processo de emancipação dos seres humanos e, a partir disto, preparar os jovens para o exercício consciente da cidadania e, desta forma, estaremos criando condições para aperfeiçoar a democracia e transformar a sociedade. / This doctoral thesis addresses the educators’ professional training and practice process of the municipal and state public network of the city of Igrejinha, RS. This is a case study that follows the materialist theory and uses the philosophical categories of the Dialectical Materialism, the Historical Materialism sociological categories and also Marx's Political Economy categories. From the Dialectical Materialism we discuss the principles, laws and categories that are interlinked in the training process of the teachers and also involved in their professional practices. This thesis is characterized as a case study that tries to analyze the existing contradictions between the municipal and state public network education teachers’ training and practice within a vision of totality. With this thesis we try know and understand the contradictions between the professional training and practice, and at a second time, we suggest concrete and viable actions in the sense of improving the educators’ practice in the classroom and thus contribute to improving the level of quality of public education in Igrejinha, RS. In this thesis I state that the existing contradictions between the educators’ professional training and practice are linked to the low quality level of Igrejinha’s education and they also contribute to a discouragement atmosphere and demotivation among the teachers, students and various professionals who are involved with education. The data that we outlined in this thesis come from research in bibliographic and documentary sources, and as data collection techniques, we used the semistructured interview and the semi-directed observation of ten teachers’ lessons. From this thesis we can claim that the viability of projects for the organization of concrete actions focusing on teachers’ continuing/permanent education is urgent so that they can harmonize more the theoretical dimension together with the practice dimension present in the pedagogical process. The education investment raise to the achievement of a fair wage policy, as well as the wage raise, are solutions that are required under the emergency regime as a way out to stimulate teachers who struggle in different classrooms in various students’ groups. We advocate that education and training are political phenomena able to contribute in the process of emancipation of human beings and from that prepare young people to the conscious exercise of citizenship and thus we are creating conditions for enhancing democracy and transform the society.

Foi utilizada a técnica da entrevista semi-estruturada para a coleta de dados, tendo dezoito enfermeiros como sujeitos desse estudo, dentre eles enfermeiros assistenciais e coordenadoras de enfermagem. Para análise dos dados foi utilizado o método de Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin foram identificadas três categorias: A prática profissional definindo as atividades de capacitação; Os ditames da sociedade contemporânea como fatores limitantes à capacitação dos enfermeiros; A capacitação como elemento transformador da prática de enfermeiros. Os resultados evidenciaram que a prática profissional e a motivação pessoal têm ditado o caminho a ser seguido pelos enfermeiros em busca de suas atividades de capacitação. A partir daí, a interface entre o conhecimento adquirido nas capacitações e a prática profissional fica facilitado, resultando numa simbiose importante entre teoria e prática, respaldando ainda os conceitos da Educação Permanente em Saúde que visa transformar o cotidiano em oportunidade de aprendizado. As dificuldades encontrad as pelos enfermeiros são relativas à falta de tempo, geralmente devido a uma extensa carga horária de trabalho ou pela multiplicidade de vínculos empregatícios, além de questões financeiras e falta de comunicação eficaz. Apontaram ainda para a importância da organização hospitalar como força propulsora para que esses profissionais se qualifiquem continuamente, seja a partir de treinamentos interno, seja na facilitação para a capacitação fora do ambiente de trabalho.
