It Started in analyses of the Active Methodologies in a Management course in an Institution of Superior Teaching in Cascavel city – Parana State – Brazil. It brings the perception of the student around of the educative innovation. The study dedicates in document analysis (Political Pedagogical Project/ Plans of Teaching) of the course researched in order to complement the perceptions obtained in the data‘s collect through questionnaires. The methodology that study is classified as a qualitative research, for its interpretive character and dialogical, suiting itself to the study of singular cases. The study presents as results the understanding that the active learning presupposes greater and more effective interaction between students and teachers, the combination of active methodologies with digital technologies favor better learning through practices, activities, games, problems, relevant projects. For almost all the students, the new organization of the contents facilitated the learning and understanding, favoring to greater student engagement in the proposed actions. It strengthened the collective work confirming the proposal of a collaborative pedagogical action. It made strong the collective job confirming the proposes of the collaborative pedagogical action. It stands out the importance of the hybrid model of the teaching and learning. There were still some shortcomings in the process, especially with regard to teacher training for this type of approach and use of active methodologies. he results show us that innovative proposals, under the student's vision, although with small difficulties, are highly mobilizing and have a high impact on student engagement in the teaching and learning process. / O presente trabalho apresenta um estudo acerca da aplicação de novos modelos de ensino e aprendizagem. A partir da análise da implementação de Metodologias Ativas de Aprendizagem em um curso de Administração em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior na cidade de Cascavel/PR – Brasil. Este traz a percepção discente acerca da inovação educativa. O estudo ainda se dedica à análise de documentos (Projeto Político Pedagógico / Planos de Ensino) do curso pesquisado a fim de complementar as percepções obtidas na coleta de dados via questionários. A metodologia deste estudo é classificada como uma pesquisa qualitativa, por seu caráter interpretativo e dialógico, adequando-se ao estudo de casos. O estudo apresenta como resultados a compreensão de que a aprendizagem ativa pressupõe maior e mais efetiva interação entre alunos e professores, a junção das metodologias ativas com tecnologias digitais favorece uma melhor aprendizagem por meio de práticas, atividades, jogos, problemas, projetos relevantes. Evidenciou-se, para quase a totalidade dos alunos, que a nova organização dos conteúdos facilitou a aprendizagem e compreensão, favorecendo maior engajamento discente nas ações propostas. Fortaleceu o trabalho coletivo confirmando a proposta de uma ação pedagógica colaborativa. Destaca-se a importância do modelo híbrido de ensino e aprendizagem. Foi diagnosticado ainda algumas lacunas no processo, especialmente no que diz respeito à formação docente para este tipo de abordagem e utilização de metodologias ativas. Os resultados mostram que propostas inovadoras, sob a visão discente, ainda que com pequenas dificuldades, são altamente mobilizadoras e de alto impacto no engajamento discente no processo de ensino e aprendizagem.

A presente pesquisa tem como base a formação continuada de professores do Ensino Médio, que ministram as disciplinas pertencentes à área de Ciências da Natureza, tendo como objetivo aplicar uma metodologia didática que busca o desenvolvimento de habilidades dos alunos, denominada nessa pesquisa de \"Aula Operatória\", e analisar seu efeito na prática pedagógica de professores de Ciências da Natureza. Dessa forma, a partir do ajuste das metodologias utilizadas pelos professores, as aulas possam ser mais motivadoras, interessantes e envolventes, promovendo a melhoria do ensino. As bases teóricas utilizadas para essa pesquisa foram de Cleide do Amaral Terzi e Paulo Afonso Caruso Ronca - que fundamentam as bases do entendimento a respeito de Aula Operatória -, e Philippe Perrenoud, esclarecendo a respeito das competências dos professores, necessárias nos dias de hoje, e fundamentando a parametrização utilizada pelo pesquisador, no processo avaliativo que teve enfoque qualitativo. Buscando as raízes conceituais e práticas da Aula Operatória no decorrer da história, a pesquisa traz os fundamentos do trabalho didático com foco no desenvolvimento de habilidades dos discentes, apresentando John Dewey e as bases da operacionalização do conhecimento, dentro da sua visão instrumentalista; Jean William Fritz Piaget e a teoria desenvolvimentista; Lev Semenovitch Vygotsky e a concepção da aprendizagem mediada; Louis Raths e a importância do \"pensar\". Considerando o problema do baixo índice de aprendizagem e de interesse dos alunos, nas disciplinas pertencentes à área de Ciências da Natureza no cenário da educação no Brasil e no mundo, esta pesquisa propõe a Aula Operatória como prática na formação continuada de professores para a mudança no ensino, visando ao desenvolvimento das habilidades dos alunos. Os professores das disciplinas foram escolhidos de forma voluntária, e a formação para a Aula Operatória se deu nas seguintes etapas: análise diagnóstica realizada a partir de observações qualificadas individuais para planejamento das ações; encontros formativos para oportunizar aos professores a reflexão sobre a própria prática, e para repertoriálos teoricamente com as bases para o desenvolvimento de Aulas Operatórias; execução de Aula Compartilhada como estratégia formativa prática; avaliação final com entrevista e relatório da coordenadora pedagógica em cada caso. Os resultados, de modo geral, mostraram resistência inicial à aplicação da nova metodologia, eliminada com o apoio fornecido pelo pesquisador na elaboração e planejamento das atividades. Posteriormente, foi possível verificar mudança na abordagem dos temas em sala de aula, por parte dos professores, ao empregar os princípios da Aula Operatória, mas mantiveram o registro de planejamento sem mudanças significativas. Desta forma, conclui-se pela necessidade de acompanhamento contínuo para que não haja a retomada de hábitos antigos. / The present research is based on the continuing education of high school teachers, who teach the subjects belonging to the area of Natural Sciences, aiming to apply a teaching methodology which seeks the development of abilities of students, named in this research of \"Operative Classroom\" and analyze your effect on pedagogical practice of teachers of natural sciences. In this way, from the set of methodologies used by teachers, classes may become more motivating, engaging and interesting, promoting the improvement of education. The theoretical bases used for this research were Cleide do Amaral Terzi and Paulo Afonso Caruso Ronca - that underlie the basis of understanding regarding Operative Classroom -, and Philippe Perrenoud, clarifying the competences of teachers, needed these days, and basing the parameterization used by the researcher, in the evaluation process that had a qualitative approach. Seeking practical and conceptual roots of the Operative Classroom in the course of the story, the research brings the basics of didactic work with focus on developing skills of students, featuring John Dewey and the bases of the operationalization of the knowledge within its instrumentalist vision; Jean William Fritz Piaget and theory development; Lev Semenovitch Vygotsky and mediated learning design; Louis Raths and the importance of \"thinking. Considering the problem of the low content of learning and interest of students, in the subjects belonging to the area of natural sciences in education in Brazil and in the world, this research proposes the Operative Classroom practice on continuing education of teachers for change in education, aiming at the development of the skills of the students. Teachers of disciplines were chosen voluntarily, and training for the Operative Classroom took the following steps: diagnostic analysis undertaken from qualified individual observations for planning of actions; formative meetings to provide opportunities for teachers to reflect on their own practice, and for the repertoriár in theory with the bases for the development of Operative Classroom; executing Shared Lessons as formative strategy practice; final review with interview and report the pedagogical coordinator in each case. The results generally showed initial resistance to the application of the new methodology, eliminated with the support provided by the researcher in the development and planning activities. Later, it was possible to verify change in approach the topics in the classroom, on the part of teachers, to employ the principles of Operative Classroom, but they held the record of planning without significant changes. Thus, it is concluded by the need for ongoing monitoring to prevent the resumption of old habits.

A utilização de tecnologias digitais é característica expressiva da sociedade atual, facilitando a realização de atividades cotidianas e possibilitando o acesso à informação e à comunicação de forma interativa, colaborativa e instrutiva nos mais diversos contextos sociais (LÉVY, 1993;1999; KENSKI, 2003; 2007). Considerando seu potencial para o desenvolvimento do ensino-aprendizagem de línguas estrangeiras (LANCIEN, 2004; MANGENOT; LOUVEAU, 2006; ALBUQUERQUE-COSTA; MAYRINK, 2013; BRAGA, 2013; PIETRARÓIRA, 2013) e a urgência de colocar em prática inovações metodológicas para acompanhar as necessidades sociais e cognitivas dos nativos digitais (PRENSKY, 2010; CASTELLS, 2011), esta pesquisa foi realizada em um Centro de Estudo de Línguas do Estado de São Paulo (CEL) com o uso de tecnologias como instrumentos mediadores para a aprendizagem do francês língua estrangeira (VYGOTSKY, 1934), tendo como característica específica, a extensão da sala presencial a um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem. Desse modo, este estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de analisar como as tecnologias digitais podem auxiliar na realização de tarefas comunicativas na língua estrangeira (PUREN, 2009; ROSEN, 2009) que levem o aluno a ser um aprendiz ativo (BACICH; MORAN, 2018; VALENTE, 2017) em seu processo de aprendizagem em contextos híbridos (BACICH; TANZI-NETO; TREVISANI, 2015), na era da Sociedade da Informação (COLL; MONEREO, 2010). A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa-interpretativista e foi desenvolvida aos moldes da pesquisa-ação junto a adolescentes do curso de francês do CEL e as tarefas propostas foram desenvolvidas e compartilhadas através da realização do projeto coletivo RADIO/MAG 6èmeA: a criação de uma rádio/revista virtual, em sala de aula presencial e no ambiente virtual no Evernote. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que as tecnologias digitais mediadas pelo professor e associadas à realização de tarefas autênticas de comunicação na língua estrangeira, em contexto presencial e virtual, ampliam os espaços de aprendizagem por possibilitarem a interatividade com a informação e interações com os pares, características que favorecem o desenvolvimento de uma postura ativa do aprendiz potencializando sua aprendizagem e sua transformação como sujeito na sociedade atual (FREIRE, 1996). / The use of digital technologies is a significant feature of todays society, making it easier for people to do everyday tasks and allowing access to information and communication in an interactive, collaborative and instructive way in various social contexts (LÉVY, 1993;1999; KENSKI, 2003; 2007). By taking into account their potential in the development of the teaching and learning of foreign languages (LANCIEN, 2004; MANGENOT; LOUVEAU, 2006; ALBUQUERQUE-COSTA; MAYRINK, 2013; BRAGA, 2013; PIETRARÓIRA, 2013) as well as the urgency to put into practice methodological innovations to cater to the social and cognitive needs of digital natives (PRENSKY, 2010; CASTELLS, 2011), our study was carried out in a Language Study Center (CEL) located in São Paulo with the technologies as mediating tools in the learning of French as a foreign language (VYGOTSKY, 1934) and having as its distinctive feature the virtual learning environment as an extension of in-person classes. The aim of this study is to analyze how digital technologies can help students perform communicative tasks in the foreign language (PUREN, 2009; ROSEN, 2009), which may turn them into active learners (BACICH; MORAN, 2018; VALENTE, 2017) in their learning process in hybrid contexts (BACICH; TANZI-NETO; TREVISANI, 2015) in the age of Information Society (COLL; MONEREO, 2010). We have conducted a qualitative-interpretive research, which was based on action research carried out with teenagers taking the French course at CEL. The suggested tasks were developed and shared in a group project entitled RADIO/MAG 6èmeA: the making of a virtual radio/ magazine, both in the classroom and in the virtual learning environment in Evernote. The results of our study have shown that digital technologies mediated by the teacher and associated with the completion of authentic communicative tasks in the foreign language, both in person and virtually, broaden the learning spaces since they allow interactivity with the information and interactions with peers. These features foster an active attitude of the learner by boosting their learning and promoting their transformation into subjects in todays society (FREIRE, 1996).

Analyse probabiliste est l'un des domaines de recherche les plus attractives en langage naturel En traitement. Analyseurs probabilistes succès actuels nécessitent de grandes treebanks qui Il est difficile, prend du temps et coûteux à produire. Par conséquent, nous avons concentré notre l'attention sur des approches moins supervisés. Nous avons proposé deux catégories de solution: l'apprentissage actif et l'algorithme semi-supervisé. Stratégies d'apprentissage actives permettent de sélectionner les échantillons les plus informatives pour annotation. La plupart des stratégies d'apprentissage actives existantes pour l'analyse reposent sur la sélection phrases incertaines pour l'annotation. Nous montrons dans notre recherche, sur quatre différents langues (français, anglais, persan, arabe), que la sélection des phrases complètes ne sont pas une solution optimale et de proposer un moyen de sélectionner uniquement les sous-parties de phrases. Comme nos expériences ont montré, certaines parties des phrases ne contiennent aucune utiles information pour la formation d'un analyseur, et en se concentrant sur les sous-parties incertains des phrases est une solution plus efficace dans l'apprentissage actif. / Probabilistic parsing is one of the most attractive research areas in natural language processing. Current successful probabilistic parsers require large treebanks which are difficult, time consuming, and expensive to produce. Therefore, we focused our attention on less-supervised approaches. We suggested two categories of solution: active learning and semi-supervised algorithm. Active learning strategies allow one to select the most informative samples for annotation. Most existing active learning strategies for parsing rely on selecting uncertain sentences for annotation. We show in our research, on four different languages (French, English, Persian, and Arabic), that selecting full sentences is not an optimal solution and propose a way to select only subparts of sentences. As our experiments have shown, some parts of the sentences do not contain any useful information for training a parser, and focusing on uncertain subparts of the sentences is a more effective solution in active learning.

Tertiary institutions in South Africa are currently faced with several challenges: Student numbers are increasing, funding is not necessarily sufficient and the type of student who enters Higher Education is part of a generation which grew up with technology (Prensky, 2001). Expectations are that tertiary education institutions need to keep up with the changing environment, whilst still maintaining high standards. Interaction within the learning environment is essential, both from an academic, as well as a social point of view. Students who leave the institution need to be able to function in a working environment, with all the challenges that accompany it, as well as be academically qualified for their careers. Universities, and specifically Economics departments, are often accused of being ivory towers with no regard for the real world (Fullbrook, 2003). The design for this study is a case-study within a qualitative research design. The study focuses on the use of an LMS to aid the learning process in a blended learning environment at the department of Economics, at the University of the Free State. In this study, several tools were used to support students and add another dimension to learning economics. Data-collection instruments include a literature review, focus group meetings, semi-structured questionnaires and observations. The value of this study is that it forms a basis for lecturers in other disciplines to include aspects of blended learning in their courses. The findings of the research include the usability of the different LMS tools, students’ experiences of these tools and the effect that these tools have on their understanding and integration of economics. The rationale of this study is based on the fact that students who attend university come from a generation identified as Digital Natives (Prensy, 2001) and have certain methods of data integration. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to focus and analyse students’ experiences of using WebCT tools as an additional aid to the course. The target group for the study was the Economics firstyear, second semester, English medium of instruction students. The course runs over a full semester, with two traditional facetoface classes, as well as tutor groups. In addition to two semester tests and an examination, students had to participate in a biweekly discussion forum, based on economic events and four online, multiple choice quizzes. They also had access to class notes, additional readings, informal discussions and a forum for questions. This research makes use of a qualitative approach and a casestudy, because it studies a “…human activity embedded in the real world which can only be studied or understood in context … which exists in the here and now that merges in with its context so that precise boundaries are difficult to draw” Gillham (2000). This study falls within the Interpretivist paradigm (Burrel and Morgan). Data were collected by means of focus group meetings, informal discussions, openended questionnaires, observations and a course evaluation. In this way, students’ attitudes towards the LMS could be gauged. Three categories were identified during the data analysis and coding process. The first category relates to interaction between students and lecturers (or tutors), the second to peerinteraction and the last category refers to contentstudent interaction. The findings of this study concludes that students need interaction with lecturers, peers and content in order to make sense of what they are learning, to link the theory with realworld issues and to enhance generic skills. Lecturers should consider making use of a hybrid learning system, but must consider their specific course content before deciding which of the available tools to use. / Thesis (PhD (Curriculum Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Curriculum Studies / unrestricted

Quels sont les savoirs qui font référence dans une classe ? Au delà de ceux à enseigner, d'autres sont en jeu comme ceux que les élèves ou les enseignants possèdent à titre personnel et qui s'enracinent dans la vie courante, la société, les cultures et les civilisations. Dans ce mémoire, un état des lieux des sources de références praxéologiques utilisées dans les classes ou suggérées par les institutions scolaires est dressé. Il s'appuie sur un concept de référence essentiellement modélisé à partir des cadres fournis par la Théorie Anthropologique du Didactique et par la Théorie de l'Action Conjointe en Didactique. Élargissant la question de la référence à celle des ouvertures écologiques possibles des classes, nous entrons ensuite dans le paradigme de questionnement du monde. Quelques dispositifs propices à la diversification des sources praxéologiques et à l'accroissement des rôles des élèves sont alors proposés et mis en œuvre dans deux Parcours d'Étude et de Recherche. / What knowledge does a class refer to? Beyond the official one, students and teachers involve theirs and thus deeply root the courses in everyday life, society, cultures and civilizations. In this thesis, an overview of the praxeological references' sources used in classes or suggested by scholar institutions is proposed. The concept of reference itself is derived from the theorical frameworks provided by the Anthropological Theory of Didactic and the Theory of Joint Action in Teaching. Extending the question to the one of the possible ecological openings of classes, we then integrate the paradigms of world's questionning and active learning. Several teaching schemes are finally described and implemented in order to diversificate the references' sources and to increase students' roles.

This study investigated the effects of interactive lessons and learning style on student learning outcomes in self-defense education classes. The study utilized an experimental design that incorporated four self-defense education classes at the University of North Texas (UNT) during the fall semester 2007 (N = 87). A pre-test was administered during the first week of class to determine prior knowledge of the participants. The Visual Auditory Reading/Kinesthetic Inventory (VARK) was used to assess the learning styles of the students and was completed after the pre-test of knowledge was administered. The treatment group received the interactive lesson and the control received a paper review. The difference between the pre and posttest was used as a measure of improvement of the student's learning outcomes. A 2 (treatment/control) by 2 (pretest/posttest) ANOVA with repeated measures was conducted to examine the differential improvement in knowledge across the intervention. Based on the 2-way ANOVA there was a significant difference between the treatment group and the control group based on their learning outcomes. A repeated measures ANOVA was conducted to determine if there was a significant difference between the groups based on the pre and post test scores. Based on the results of a one week study it was determined that interactive lessons do make a significant impact on learning outcomes compared to traditional reviews.

Nowadays, there are huge collections of handwritten text documents in libraries all over the world. The high demand for these resources has led to the creation of digital libraries in order to facilitate the preservation and provide electronic access to these documents. However text transcription of these documents im- ages are not always available to allow users to quickly search information, or computers to process the information, search patterns or draw out statistics. The problem is that manual transcription of these documents is an expensive task from both economical and time viewpoints. This thesis presents a novel ap- proach for e cient Computer Assisted Transcription (CAT) of handwritten text documents using state-of-the-art Handwriting Text Recognition (HTR) systems. The objective of CAT approaches is to e ciently complete a transcription task through human-machine collaboration, as the e ort required to generate a manual transcription is high, and automatically generated transcriptions from state-of-the-art systems still do not reach the accuracy required. This thesis is centered on a special application of CAT, that is, the transcription of old text document when the quantity of user e ort available is limited, and thus, the entire document cannot be revised. In this approach, the objective is to generate the best possible transcription by means of the user e ort available. This thesis provides a comprehensive view of the CAT process from feature extraction to user interaction. First, a statistical approach to generalise interactive transcription is pro- posed. As its direct application is unfeasible, some assumptions are made to apply it to two di erent tasks. First, on the interactive transcription of hand- written text documents, and next, on the interactive detection of the document layout. Next, the digitisation and annotation process of two real old text documents is described. This process was carried out because of the scarcity of similar resources and the need of annotated data to thoroughly test all the developed tools and techniques in this thesis. These two documents were carefully selected to represent the general di culties that are encountered when dealing with HTR. Baseline results are presented on these two documents to settle down a benchmark with a standard HTR system. Finally, these annotated documents were made freely available to the community. It must be noted that, all the techniques and methods developed in this thesis have been assessed on these two real old text documents. Then, a CAT approach for HTR when user e ort is limited is studied and extensively tested. The ultimate goal of applying CAT is achieved by putting together three processes. Given a recognised transcription from an HTR system. The rst process consists in locating (possibly) incorrect words and employs the user e ort available to supervise them (if necessary). As most words are not expected to be supervised due to the limited user e ort available, only a few are selected to be revised. The system presents to the user a small subset of these words according to an estimation of their correctness, or to be more precise, according to their con dence level. Next, the second process starts once these low con dence words have been supervised. This process updates the recogni- tion of the document taking user corrections into consideration, which improves the quality of those words that were not revised by the user. Finally, the last process adapts the system from the partially revised (and possibly not perfect) transcription obtained so far. In this adaptation, the system intelligently selects the correct words of the transcription. As results, the adapted system will bet- ter recognise future transcriptions. Transcription experiments using this CAT approach show that this approach is mostly e ective when user e ort is low. The last contribution of this thesis is a method for balancing the nal tran- scription quality and the supervision e ort applied using our previously de- scribed CAT approach. In other words, this method allows the user to control the amount of errors in the transcriptions obtained from a CAT approach. The motivation of this method is to let users decide on the nal quality of the desired documents, as partially erroneous transcriptions can be su cient to convey the meaning, and the user e ort required to transcribe them might be signi cantly lower when compared to obtaining a totally manual transcription. Consequently, the system estimates the minimum user e ort required to reach the amount of error de ned by the user. Error estimation is performed by computing sepa- rately the error produced by each recognised word, and thus, asking the user to only revise the ones in which most errors occur. Additionally, an interactive prototype is presented, which integrates most of the interactive techniques presented in this thesis. This prototype has been developed to be used by palaeographic expert, who do not have any background in HTR technologies. After a slight ne tuning by a HTR expert, the prototype lets the transcribers to manually annotate the document or employ the CAT ap- proach presented. All automatic operations, such as recognition, are performed in background, detaching the transcriber from the details of the system. The prototype was assessed by an expert transcriber and showed to be adequate and e cient for its purpose. The prototype is freely available under a GNU Public Licence (GPL). / Serrano Martínez-Santos, N. (2014). Interactive Transcription of Old Text Documents [Tesis doctoral no publicada].
