Conjecturamos se esses professores estariam se apropriando e administrando de forma reflexiva as demandas da área e usufruindo de forma palpável dos mecanismos apropriados ao seu desenvolvimento, tendo em vista os atuais avanços no campo do ensino - aprendizagem de PL2/PLE. Nesse sentido, este trabalho contribui para fomentar o debate sobre a noção da prática reflexiva no ensino de português como língua estrangeira, além de buscar despertar tanto nos professores entrevistados como nos leitores, o interesse por uma postura reflexiva no seu cotidiano. Desse modo, decidimos investigar, a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas, o que dez professores de PL2 e/ou PLE entendem por prática reflexiva e até onde em suas práticas costumam refletir sobre as mesmas. O trabalho fundamenta-se na teoria da prática reflexiva dos teóricos John Dewey (1979) e Donald Schön (2000), além de Nóvoa (1995), que trata mais especificamente da formação do professor. Três conceitos-chave da teoria deweyana embasam este trabalho, sendo fundamentais para a categorização de um profissional como reflexivo: observação, compartilhamento e pesquisa/investigação. Dez professores de três diferentes perfis são participantes desta pesquisa, sendo atuantes em universidades, em cursos livres e/ou multinacionais e finalmente, em contextos diferenciados do ensino de português como segunda língua (L2). A análise apresenta um panorama diverso e curioso de interpretações do que vem a ser uma prática reflexiva para os três diferentes grupos de professores entrevistados, não resultando no estabelecimento de um padrão de interpretação para cada grupo. Todos os professores, independentemente do grupo a que pertencem, compreenderam e interpretaram diferentemente o conceito da prática reflexiva. Os resultados revelaram que não possuem a reflexão como prática fundamental isto é, não possuem "um hábito de refletir tendo como recurso básico a prática da "experimentação", da provocação de acontecimentos" (Dewey, 1979). Embora todos valorizem o ato de refletir, o fazem intuitivamente, o que nos leva a reafirmar a importância da reflexão como ação de compartilhamento, de pesquisa e formação de professores, ações que conduzem à construção de mecanismos de interlocução e que consequentemente, resultam numa maior abrangência e reconhecimento da área / Abstract: The elaboration of this work was motivated by interest in investigating the extent to which teachers of Portuguese as a second language (PSL) in Brazil and for foreigners (PFL) assume in practice, a reflective attitude, conduct that we believe, helps transform experience and as a result improves practice. We conjecture that these teachers would be appropriating and managing reflectively the demands of the area enjoying tangible form of appropriate mechanisms for its development, giving the current advances in the field of teaching ¿ learning PL2/PLE. Thus, this work contributes to stimulating debate on the notion of reflective practice in teaching Portuguese as a foreign language and seek to awaken both of the teachers interviewed as in readers, interest in a reflective posture in their daily lives. Thus, we decided to investigate, from semi-structured interviews, which ten teachers of PL2 and / PLE understand by reflective practice and how far in their practice tend to reflect on them. This work is based on the theory of reflective practice the theoretical John Dewey (1979) and Donald Schön (2000) and Nóvoa (1995) which deals more specifically with teacher education. Three fundamental concepts of Dewey's theory underlay this work it is fundamental to the categorization of a professional as a reflective: observation, sharing and research/investigation. Ten teachers from three different profiles are participants in this study, being active in universities, in free or/and multinational courses and finally, in different contexts of teaching Portuguese as a second language (L2). The analysis presents a diverse and interesting panorama of interpretations of what comes to be a reflective practice for three different groups of teachers interviewed, not resulting in the establishment of a standard interpretation for each group. All teachers, regardless of the group they belong to, understood and interpreted differently the concept of reflective practice. The results revealed that they do not have the reflection as a fundamental practice, that is, do not have "a habit of thinking with the basic use of the practice of "experimentation", the provocation of events" (Dewey, 1979). Although all value the act of reflection, do intuitively, which leads us to reaffirm the importance of reflection and sharing of action, research and teacher training, actions that lead to the construction of dialogue mechanisms and consequently, result in a greater coverage area and recognition / Mestrado / Lingua Estrangeira / Mestra em Linguística Aplicada

TITLE: Teacher Evaluation AUTHOR: Mgr., Bc. Jiří Trunda DEPARTMENT: Primary Education SUPERVISOR: prof. PhDr. Vladimíra Spilková, CSc. Abstract: This dissertation thesis deals with the evaluation of teachers in the context of the Czech educational system. The theoretical part first mapped theories related to the concepts of evaluation and teacher. The conclusions of these two chapters are then relate in the chapter Evaluation of Teachers. The second part of the thesis presents quantitative research of the situation of teacher's evaluation in the context of Czech primary schools. The description is then compared with the theoretical model of evaluation of teachers, which is the output of theoretical part. Dissertation should contribute to the implementation of systematic teacher evaluation as a tool for improving the quality of education and simultaneously to the professionalisation of teaching.

The purpose of this descriptive and exploratory study was to obtain insight into collaborative partnership trends between educational psychology researchers and teachers, in order to inform participatory theory and practice in future methodology studies. The Community of Practice Framework theoretically framed the study, describing professional communities and the way in which meanings, beliefs and understandings are negotiated and reflected in communal practices. Five symposium and two reflection session presentations were purposefully selected and transcribed for qualitative content analysis in terms of a trend analysis. Findings indicate that collaborative partnerships between educational psychology researchers and teachers differ from other partnerships in that collaborative partnerships between teachers and educational psychology researchers appear to be directed by an overarching philosophy of “care”. Also, collaborative partnership studies between teachers and educational psychology researchers favour methodologies encouraging participation in identifying and addressing school-community issues. In this way, knowledge exchange and the co-creation of knowledge is promoted. These partnerships focus on how education, as well as teacher and learner experiences can be enhanced and be meaningful, rewarding, enabling and supportive. Finally, benefits and challenges in collaborative partnerships between teachers and educational psychology researchers are similar to those experienced by other professionals participating in collaborative partnerships. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Educational Psychology / unrestricted

[pt] Esta tese apresenta uma proposta de ensino-aprendizagem de Design de Interfaces Físicas em um curso de graduação em Design, com base na metodologia da Prática Reflexiva definida por Donald Schon (1983). O estudo trata da definição, concepção e implementação de um ambiente de ensino-aprendizagem de Design de Interação. No estudo explora-se o contexto da Ubiquidade Computacional definido por Marc Weiser (1991), estabelecendo-se uma relação entre este contexto e o campo do ensino de Interfaces Físicas (O SULLIVAN, 2004), área emergente do Design de Interação. Propõe-se um ambiente de ensino-aprendizagem de Interfaces Físicas a partir de um conjunto de iniciativas como o desenvolvimento de disciplinas em um curso de graduação em design; processos colaborativos inter, multi e transdisciplinares para experimentação e desenvolvimento de projetos e a criação de um laboratório de ensino. Subsequentemente, apresenta-se uma discussão sobre alguns resultados decorrentes da criação desse ambiente. Na discussão, são investigados como e porque a experiência no ambiente de ensino-aprendizagem proposto foi determinante na definição dos processos metodológicos de Design utilizados, e busca-se compreender quais são as características destes processos e de seus resultados. / [en] This thesis presents a proposal for the teaching of Physical Computing in an undergraduate Design course, based on the Reflective Practice methodology defined by Donald Schon (1983). The study comprises de definition, conception and implementation of a Physical Computing learning environment. In the study, the context of Ubiquitous Computing defined by Marc Weiser (1991) is explored, and a relation between this context and the field of knowledge of Physical Computing (O SULLIVAN, 2004) as an emerging area of Interaction Design is established. The Physical Computing Learning Environment is proposed after a series of initiatives that comprehend the development of academic disciplines, interdisciplinary collaborative processes, and the creation of a laboratory. Subsequently, we present a discussion about the results of the creation of this environment. In the discussion, we investigate how and why the experience in the Physical Computing learning environment was determinant in the definition of the methodological Design processes used, in order to understand what are the characteristics of such processes and its results.

In an earlier era of instructional technology, researchers proposed a set of criteria to help practitioners understand what assumptions about their work could help them develop well-designed instruction, as well as what assumptions could lead them to develop rigid instruction that did not characterize the goals they had for their practice. They named these criteria Technology I, II, and III. Technology I presupposed that using physical hardware improved instruction. Technology II presupposed that using formulas or strategies improved instruction. Technology III was the belief that good instruction could consist of many different product or process technologies, but that technology use alone did not define good instruction. Rather, good instruction was the realization of improved systems in which learning could take place. I used a historical case study method to analyze the major themes of Technology I, II, and III, as well as reasons why some practitioners might limit themselves to only Technology I or II. My purpose was to discover how to help instructional technologists better accomplish more of the goals they want to achieve. I compared the original goals of two instructional technologies (programmed instruction and problem-based learning), along with twelve case study reports of actual practice of these technologies, against the criteria for Technology I, II, and III. I found that Technology I, II, and III can describe the goals and practices of instructional technologists. Additionally, I discovered four reasons why instructional technologists may limit themselves to Technology I or II, and therefore might not achieve all the important goals for their practice: (a) distracted focus (or compromised integrity); (b) status quo adherence; (c) solidification; and (d) deliberately chosen Technology I or II. I also discovered three methods to help instructional technologists to avoid limiting themselves and more consistently practice Technology III: (a) legitimate evaluation; (b) adopting guiding principles for practice; and (c) using opinion leaders to disseminate the value of Technology III. This study also provides recommendations to help instructional technologists use Technology III to help them better develop flexible instructional technology that better characterizes their goals for their practice.

[pt] No contexto atual, de um mundo cada vez mais digital, os fazeres manuais sofrem um isolamento no que diz respeito ao ato de projetar. Partindo de autores como Adélia Borges (2011), Tomás Maldonado (2009) e Richard Sennett (2013), temos o plano de fundo para começar a entender as relações entre o fazer manual e os preconceitos existentes em relação a tais práticas. Por sua vez José Luiz Ripper (apud COUTO, 1991) e Lorraine Wild (2015) defendem a importância de manualidades como parte fundamental do processo de Design. A presente dissertação expõe, uma investigação sobre tal fazer e a sua importância no ato de projetar. Com foco específico no uso e apropriação dos laboratórios de ensino práticos como complemento ao ensino teórico, e as habilidades manuais como ferramenta de desenvolvimento do aluno durante a sua formação como designer. Valendo-se da metodologia da prática reflexiva definida por Donald Schön (2000), entendemos as práticas manuais experimentais, como sendo fundamentais para o desenvolvimento do aluno de Design, onde o fazer e o analisar durante todo o processo se tornam partes indissociáveis. Para o desenvolvimento da dissertação realizamos uma pesquisa de natureza aplicada, com uma abordagem qualitativa. Executando uma pesquisa de tipologia exploratória que se apropriou dos procedimentos de pesquisa bibliográfico, pesquisa de campo e pesquisa-ação. Com o intuito de alcançar o objetivo geral de propor a experimentação prática no âmbito dos laboratórios de ensino, como forma de construção de repertório. / [en] In the current context of an increasingly digital world, manual making is isolated from Design. Taking advantage of authors such as Adélia Borges (2011), Tomás Maldonado (2009) and Richard Sennett (2013), we have the background to begin to understand the relationship between manual making and existing prejudices regarding such practices. In turn José Luiz Ripper (apud COUTO, 1991) and Lorraine Wild (2015) argue the importance of manual practices as a fundamental part of the Design process. This dissertation presents an investigation about manual making and its importance in the act of designing. With specific focus on the use and appropriation of practical teaching laboratories as a complement to theoretical teaching, and manual skills as a student development tool during their training as a designer. Using the methodology of reflexive practice defined by Donald Schön (2000), we understand experimental manual practices as fundamental to the development of the Design student, where doing and analyzing throughout the process become inseparable parts. For the development of the dissertation we conducted a research of an applied nature, with a qualitative approach. Performing an exploratory typology research that appropriated the procedures of bibliographic research, field research and action research. In order to achieve the general objective of proposing practical experimentation within the teaching laboratories, as a form of repertoire construction.

The main theme of the study is exploring and understanding the impact of an innovative continuing professional development model for integrating ICT into classroom pedagogy. The focus is on the relationship between teachers’ beliefs, knowledge and pedagogic practice in the process of developing and adopting new knowledge and skills to cope with 21st century education. The study explores the 'future schools' primary teachers’ education, in-service training, status, beliefs, knowledge, and skills of using ICT in practice in the Kuwait context. The finding from the exploratory study shows that teachers’ lack of Technological, Pedagogical and Content knowledge TPACK and that this impacts on their capacity to improve their pedagogic practice. The study applied a social-constructivist approach to understand the process of change in the nine participants' teachers' beliefs, knowledge through an innovative continuing professional development model, and stimulating teachers to develop a reflective practice skills focusing on improving pedagogic practice and using ICT. A case study approach was used as the methodology of the study to develop an understanding of the process of change in the nine participant teachers' reflection on and experienced of the effects of adopting alternative pedagogic practice and integrating ICT. The numerous small findings from the quantitative and qualitative methods applied to the six months of continuing professional development involving nine primary teachers come under four main themes: 1) In-service teachers' beliefs and knowledge development, 2) Classroom pedagogy for autonomy with ICT integration, 3) Constraints affecting future schools’ teachers' integration of ICT, and 4) The key principles of an RP-BCPD model for teachers CPD in Kuwait. The understandings from the findings of the study show that the quality of the CPD for improving teachers' pedagogic practice is affected by the socio-cultural context of the 'future schools'. The study shows that the nine participant teachers can develop effective alternative pedagogic practice and successfully integrate ICT, when they are empowered to reflect, inquire into their practice, and learn from each other and from cross-cultural best practice. The unique finding of the study indicated that the nine participant teachers experiences some difficulties with engaging in the change process because of classroom cultural context such as: teachers' TPACK knowledge and competences, curriculum overload, and classroom size. Finally, the finding shows that providing the participant teachers with reflective practice as the base of CPD programme within schools context linked learning theory to improve pedagogic practice.

A Journey from the Wordless is a study of the development of the author’s own professional knowledge.  After an introductory chapter on theory and method, there are four chapters treating of the author`s academic training as an artist (Ch. 2), a presentation and analysis of his own exhibitions (Ch. 3), a chapter on a cooperative effort entitled Pompeii in Time and Space (Ch. 4), and a concluding discussion of the nature of personal knowledge (Ch. 5). Questions are addressed concerning artistic knowledge; how it is built and transferred and how it is developed and transformed. Since the author`s own professional knowledge is the object of the research, special perspectives on personal experience emerges that otherwise would be difficult to articulate. The thesis is also a contribution to the debate surrounding artistic research in the visual arts, focusing on the importance of reflection and analysis in art education and creative art work.

La réflexion est considérée comme un élément significatif de la pédagogie et de la pratique médicales sans qu’il n’existe de consensus sur sa définition ou sur sa modélisation. Comme la réflexion prend concurremment plusieurs sens, elle est difficile à opérationnaliser. Une définition et un modèle standard sont requis afin d’améliorer le développement d’applications pratiques de la réflexion. Dans ce mémoire, nous identifions, explorons et analysons thématiquement les conceptualisations les plus influentes de la réflexion, et développons de nouveaux modèle et définition. La réflexion est définie comme le processus de s’engager (le « soi » (S)) dans des interactions attentives, critiques, exploratoires et itératives (ACEI) avec ses pensées et ses actions (PA), leurs cadres conceptuels sous-jacents (CC), en visant à les changer et en examinant le changement lui-même (VC). Notre modèle conceptuel comprend les cinq composantes internes de la réflexion et les éléments extrinsèques qui l’influencent. / Although reflection is considered a significant component of medical education and practice, the literature does not provide a consensual definition or model for it. Because reflection has taken on multiple meanings, it remains difficult to operationalize. A standard definition and model are needed to improve the development of practical applications of reflection. In this master’s thesis, we identify, explore and thematically analyze the most influential conceptualizations of reflection, and develop a new theory-informed and unified definition and model of reflection. Reflection is defined as the process of engaging the self (S) in attentive, critical, exploratory and iterative (ACEI) interactions with one’s thoughts and actions (TA), and their underlying conceptual frame (CF), with a view to changing them and a view on the change itself (VC). Our conceptual model consists of the five defining core components, supplemented with the extrinsic elements that influence reflection.
