O presente estudo analisa o processo de definição das Diretrizes Operacionais para a Educação de Jovens e Adultos e a participação das agências do campo recontextualizador oficial. Esta pesquisa tratou de dois temas das Diretrizes: idade mínima para ingresso nos cursos e certificação para a EJA. Foi utilizado o conceito de classificação de Bernstein para descrever e analisar as relações entre agências do campo recontextualizador oficial abrangendo, também, o campo recontextualizador pedagógico e as posições dos representantes dessas agências acerca dos temas. O método da observação participante foi utilizado para a coleta de informações em cinco momentos, durante o mês de agosto de 2007 a outubro de 2008. Observou-se a trama de argumentos em cada encontro levando a quatro posições: favorável, contrária, não consensual ou ausência de posição com relação aos temas enfocados. O estudo revela um processo democrático de definição de normas que poderá proporcionar reflexão sobre políticas públicas para a Educação Básica. Os conceitos de modelo de competência e modelo de desempenho de Bernstein serviram para analisar o Exame Nacional de Certificação de Competências de Jovens e Adultos (ENCCEJA), demonstrando que não se trata de exame de competências, mas de verificação de desempenho dos participantes. / This study examines the process of defining the Operational Guidelines for the Education of Young People and Adult and the participation of agencies of the official recontextualizing field. It deals with two issues of the Guidelines: minimum age for admission in the courses and certification for the EJA. Bernstein's concept of classification was used to describe and analyze the relationships between agencies of the official recontextualizing field covering also the pedagogic recontextualizing field and presenting the positions of the representatives of those agencies about the issues. The participant observation method was used to collect information on five occasions during the month of August 2007, and from August to October 2008. The intersection of arguments was observed in each meeting identifying four positions: a favorable one; an opposing one; a no consensus one and a lack of position considering the focused issues. The study reveals a democratic process of defining norms witch will provide reflection over public policies for the Basic Education. Bernstein's concept of competence model and performance model were employed to analyze the National Certification Examination Skills in Education for Youth and Adults (ENCCEJA), demonstrating that it is not an examination of competence but a verification of the performance of the participants.

This dissertation examines the practice of writing military history in conjunction with military theory. It shows that in the pursuit of establishing military theory, military history is often actively distorted and manipulated by military theorists. Those military theorists who, consciously or subconsciously, succumb to this practice are identified here as "theorist-historians". The effect of this manipulation, its implications and consequences for the field of study as a whole are examined, as is the didactic nature of military history in the light of historical accuracy. In conclusion the role and effect of the military theorist~historians are evaluated against those of purely academic historians. The unique didactic needs of military history are also highlighted. Two twentieth century British military theorists, B. H. Liddell Hart and J. F. C. Fuller, were chosen as being representative of the military theorist-historian group. / Political Science / M.A. (International Politics)

Este estudo analisa oito dimensões do currículo, da prática pedagógica e da avaliação, no ano letivo de 2004, em duas turmas de alfabetização de escolas públicas de Porto Alegre – uma Estadual e outra Municipal. O processo de alfabetização numa escola organizada por Séries é comparado com o realizado na escola organizada por Ciclos de Formação. Os resultados encontrados nestas duas práticas são comparados com os resultados obtidos numa prática de alfabetização investigada em 1984 (Veit, 1990), na mesma Escola Estadual. Esta investigação foi baseada na teoria do sociólogo Basil Bernstein (1996, 1998) e inspirada nas definições operacionais de uma pesquisa realizada em Lisboa por Morais et al. (1993). A comparação entre os três contextos educacionais apresentou diferenças acentuadas entre as ideologias de um e de outro sistema de ensino, sendo possível distinguir, na Escola Estadual, uma modalidade de Pedagogia Visível e, na Escola Municipal, uma Pedagogia Invisível. / This study analyzes eight dimensions of the curriculum, of the pedagogic practice and of the evaluation, in the school year of 2004, in two groups of literacy in Porto Alegre public schools’ - a State one and a Municipal one.

The results found in these two practices are compared with the results obtained in a literacy practice investigated in 1984 (Veit, 1990), in the same State School. This investigation was based upon sociologist Basil Bernstein's theory (1996, 1998) and inspired in the operational definitions of a research accomplished in Lisbon by Morais et al. (1993). The comparison among the three educational contexts presented strong differences between the ideologies of an and of the two different educational systems, being possible to distinguish, in the State School, a modality of Visible Pedagogy and, in the Municipal School, an Invisible Pedagogy.

Neste trabalho são descritas as relações sociológicas envolvidas no âmbito escolar de professores de Química do Ensino Médio de duas escolas da cidade de Itabaiana-SE. Para discutir as relações envolvidas na comunidade escolar foi utilizado um recorte da Teoria de Basil Bernstein, em específico o Modelo do Discurso Pedagógico centrado no contexto escola/sala de aula, proposto pelo Grupo de Estudos Sociológicos da Sala de Aula (ESSA). Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram: direção, coordenação, alunos (1º e 3º Ano do Ensino Médio), pais ou responsável e professores de química. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir do uso de uma metodologia mista. Os resultados mostraram que as relações entre os sujeitos professor-escola não são tão efetivas isto porque são enfatizadas apenas as interações principalmente em momentos de reuniões. A relação entre professor-pais de alunos é praticamente inexistente e a relação professor-aluno ocorre de maneira mais efetiva, porém contém imperfeições que devem ser corrigidas, segundo o modelo adotado como referencial. Em comparação ao modelo teórico para prática pedagógica do professor, proposto pelo grupo ESSA, os dois professores pesquisados apresentam similaridades em suas práticas pedagógicas, em relação ao modelo adotado. A maior discrepância nas práticas dos dois professores é em relação à classificação do espaço entre os professores e alunos, para o professor 1 há uma nítida separação do espaço, diferentemente do professor 2 que apresentou classificação fraca. Para uma prática pedagógica favorável ao desenvolvimento escolar deve-se buscar o estreitamento das relações entre todos os sujeitos envolvidos, na busca por classificação e enquadramento próximo ao modelo de uma prática pedagógica mista que seja favorável ao sucesso do aluno na escola.

Master of Science / Department of Geology / Matthew Totten / Oil production in Kansas has a long history with plays being found on all sides of the state. The source of Kansas’s hydrocarbons has been traditionally thought to be outside the state due to low thermal maturity and the shallow burial of potential source rocks within Kansas. This research addresses the question regarding the source of the oil in Kansas, at least within a small geographic area of roughly 146mi[superscript]2. The Spivey-Grabs-Basil Field has been one of the more successful fields within the state of Kansas since the 1960’s. This field is compartmentalized and offers a natural laboratory in which to conduct the field’s first formal oil-source rock correlation since oils are locked into place. While the main focus of this research relies heavily on pyrolysis and GCMS for biomarker analysis, it also investigates the possibility of using rare earth element (REE) concentrations as a possible fingerprint of organic matter within a source bed. TOC values of the Chattanooga shale samples from the Spivey-Grabs-Basil filed range from 0.75 and 3.95 wt. %, well within productive capacity. Pyrograms show both the potential for additional production, and the likely previous expulsion of hydrocarbons. Biomarker concentration percentages between C[subscript]27, C[subscript]28, and C[subscript]29 steranes, as well as pentacyclic terpane ratios compared between crude oil from the Spivey-Grabs-Basil and the Chattanooga shale show a definite genetic relationship. REE values of the organic fraction of the Chattanooga inversely correlate with those of the crude oils, suggesting fractionation during oil generation. After comparison of results with the Woodford shale in Oklahoma, the conclusion of this study is that the Chattanooga shale which underlies the Spivey-Grabs-Basil oil field of southern Kansas is the probable source rock which generated the oil now being produced.

Cette recherche analyse la pénétration des Cultural Studies dans les curricula de deux départements de sociologie francophones : celui de l’Université de Montréal et celui de l’Université du Québec à Montréal. À partir des entretiens conduits auprès de professeurs, mais aussi de l’analyse des curricula inspirée de la théorie développée par B. Bernstein, cette recherche questionne tous les enjeux relatifs à l’introduction d’un nouveau cours ou d’une nouvelle façon de penser dans un département. Il ne s’agit donc pas de conclure sur la forte – ou faible – présence des Cultural Studies dans les programmes, mais plutôt d’expliquer ces variations de présence à partir des caractéristiques sociales, politiques, économiques et même géographiques, propres à chaque département. L’analyse conduite va aussi plus loin en constatant que les Cultural Studies, même si elles ne se sont pas développées à grande échelle au Québec, ont eu un impact sur la façon dont sont abordés les objets sociologiques. / This research analyzes the penetration of cultural studies in the curricula of two French departments of sociology, one at the UdeM and in the other one at the UQAM. From interviews conducted with teachers, but also from the analysis of curricula inspired by the theory developed by B. Bernstein, this research examines all issues related to the introduction of a new course or a new way of thinking in a department. The purpose is not to conclude on the high–or low–presence of cultural studies in the programs, but rather to explain these variations of presence from the social, political, economic and even geographic characteristics that are specific to each department. The conducted analysis goes even further by noting that cultural studies, even if they have not been developed at a large scale in Quebec, have had an impact on how the objects are sociologically discussed.

This dissertation examines the contributions of Basil Manly Jr. to the congregational song of Southern Baptists. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the study, introduces the hymnals compiled by Basil Manly Jr., and identifies his contribution of original texts and tunes to the repertory of Southern Baptist hymnody. Chapter 2 focuses on the collaboration of Manly Jr. with Basil Manly Sr. in the compilation of The Baptist Psalmody (1850). The first Southern Baptist hymnal was developed in response to the dominance of The Psalmist (1843) in Northern states and the need for a comprehensive hymnal suited to congregational singing of Baptists in the South. The Psalmist's omission of popular hymns and the opposition to this hymnal are discussed in detail. "Standard hymns" among Southern Baptists of the mid-nineteenth century are identified through comparative analysis of the period's most significant Southern Baptist hymnals and tunebooks. The Manlys' editorial values are discussed and the contents of The Baptist Psalmody are contrasted with those of The Psalmist . Chapter 3 concerns Manly Jr.'s first musical compilation, Baptist Chorals (1859). It was intended to promote congregational singing among Baptists at large and designed to serve as a tune complement for both The Baptist Psalmody and The Psalmist . Notable aspects of Baptist Chorals include Manly Jr.'s philosophical preface on congregational song, the juxtaposition of old and new tunes with multiple texts at each opening of the hymnal, and a standardized musical format. Chapter 4 examines Manly's Choice (1891) and its musical edition, The Choice (1892), as compendiums of evangelical hymnody. Manly Jr.'s efforts to disseminate their repertories of historic texts and tunes among Southern Baptists of the late nineteenth century are discussed. Finally, the contents of The Choice are compared with Southern Baptists hymnals of the twentieth century. Chapter 5 draws conclusions on the significance of Basil Manly Jr. in the development of Southern Baptist hymnody. The twelve appendixes include first-line indexes and tune indexes to Manly Jr.'s hymnals, lists of "standard" hymns among nineteenth-century Southern Baptists, the complete prefaces to his hymnals, and a presentation of his original hymn texts and tunes. / This item is only available to students and faculty of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
