One recent trend in colleges and universities across the nation is the internationalization of higher education. This internationalization has taken form in two different areas: (a) the curriculum and (b) the co-curriculum. The curricular realm has responded by offering additional or new programs in languages and area studies as well as opportunities to study abroad. The co-curricular realm has also responded in the construction of international centers, and the development of international-style programming and international theme housing. One component of the co-curricular realm, international theme housing, has enabled American students to experience a living arrangement with a cross-cultural focus. Researchers have explored the impact this type of arrangement can make in the lives of students during their college career. However, no extensive research has been conducted to see if a connection can be made between roommate pairings and cultural activity. The purpose of this study was to examine the cultural activity of two groups of American students. Cultural activity was defined in this study as: (a) a focus on international issues in academic work, (b) establishing and maintaining relations with non-American people, and (c) participating in events with an international theme. The two groups of students included Americans with International Roommates and Americans with non-International Roommates. The study compared the levels of cultural activity between participants in the two groups. To discover the differences in cultural activity between these two groupings of students, a series of logs were created for participants to record their daily activities. These logs included sections for participants to record classes, assignments in classes, use of media, social interactions, and social activities. The researcher recruited 30 participants (15 participants with an international roommate and 15 participants with a non-international roommate) to complete these logs. Data were collected over a two-week period. Participants were also asked questions in an exit interview. Results revealed only limited differences in the levels of cultural activity between the two groups. The findings suggest that living with an international student does not promote higher levels of cultural activity among American college students. / Master of Arts

Socio-cultural activity theory (SCAT) was used to examine the nature of collaborative working in a case study of school-based occupational therapy (SBOT) in Ontario. Collaborative consultation has been widely adopted in SBOT practice. However, we know little about the impact of collaboration for students and lack understanding about how the organization of SBOT service contributes to collaborative working among educators and occupational therapists. Grounded in theoretical understanding about the distributed nature of group learning, SCAT was used as a conceptual and analytical tool in this study to describe SBOT collaborative consultation from multiple stakeholder perspectives. The research took place in two phases. Phase One involved case study research to describe SBOT for three students with disabilities from multiple stakeholder perspectives. Data were gathered using a combination of observation, document analysis, and interviews involving participants directly involved in the delivery of SBOT with each focal participant. SCAT provided a framework for describing the nature of joint effort. Dilemmas emerging from incongruence between elements in the activity system were identified and described. Common characteristics in two cases enabled cross-case analysis to also identify features of collaborative working that facilitated educational programming and outcomes for students with developmental disability. In Phase Two, program administrators participated alongside service recipients and service providers in a series of focused discussion workshops to reflect on case study findings and prioritize areas for program improvement. Developmental Work Research (Engeström, 2000) and Appreciative Inquiry (Cooperrider, Whitney, & Stavros, 2003) methods were used within a participatory action research approach to facilitate organizational learning among stakeholders. Engagement of stakeholders supported program administrators in critically examining decision-making for the delivery of SBOT service in the region studied. Combining practice-driven dilemmas with conceptual tools of analysis enabled a multiple-perspective understanding about the social, cultural, and historical work practices that have influenced collaborative interactions in SBOT practice and led to the development of principles for improving how work is shared. Program administrators used their shared understanding to propose a new model for delivering SBOT services. / Thesis (Ph.D, Education) -- Queen's University, 2011-09-28 21:31:58.308

Arts and cultural activity may play an important role in regional economic development. But to what end and by what means? Traditional economic development theory identifies export expansion and import substitution as the means by which an industrial sector may add to a region’s economic base. Recorded and visual arts may produce exports in some regions, but live performing arts are incapable of exportation. Instead, they must generate tourism to capture extra-regional dollars. Contemporary research argues two additional means by which the arts may encourage growth. First, the presence of a great many artists and arts institutions may increase firm productivity and efficiency by reducing the cost of arts services, increasing the quality of and accessibility to arts services, and promoting innovation. Second, an abundance of arts and cultural activity may attract a highly skilled, competitive workforce, which then attracts firm relocation. This report presents original research designed to test this last hypothesis as applied to Austin, Texas. Results indicate that while the arts in Austin may not attract a competitive workforce, they do appear to have at least some significance in retaining creative professionals. / text

Darbo objektas – Sūduvos regiono muziejų etnokultūrinė veikla. Pristatomi didieji savivaldybių muziejai: Marijampolės kraštotyros muziejus (Marijampolė), Vilkaviškio (Paežeriai) ir Zanavykų (Girėnai) krašto muziejai, 3 privatūs ir 19 visuomeninių muziejų, esančių Sūduvoje. Darbo tikslas – išanalizuoti minėtų Sūduvos regione esančių muziejų edukacinę, etnokultūrinę veiklą, ją palyginti ir apibendrinti. Darbo tema aktuali tuo, kad visapusis žmogaus ugdymas privalo apimti visas žmogiškojo gyvenimo sritis, neišskiriant ir vienos svarbiausių – savo šaknų, papročių bei tradicijų išsaugojimo ir puoselėjimo. Šių dienų vaikai ir jaunimas nė neįsivaizduoja, kaip galima ne pirkti, o patiems išsiausti audeklą, nusivyti virvę, nusipinti pintinę, išsikepti duoną. Tėvai yra prigimtiniai ir nepakeičiami savo vaikų lavinimo veiksniai, šeimos užduotis – puoselėti etnokultūrinį mikroklimatą, perduoti tradicijų bei papročių paveldą. Todėl ir mokytojai, ir muziejininkai stengiasi padėti šeimai populiarinti ir išsaugoti etnokultūrinį palikimą. Darbą sudaro trys dalys: Įvadas, Bendroji Sūduvos krašto muziejų charakteristika bei Etnokultūrinės edukacinės veiklos organizavimas. Pirmoje darbo dalyje siekiama atskleisti muziejaus kaip mokslo įstaigos specifiškumą, aptariamos Sūduvos muziejų etnokultūrinio tyrimo prielaidos.

No Brasil, as políticas públicas para reintegração de adolescentes em conflito com a lei enfrentam desafios para sua efetividade. Desde o surgimento das primeiras instituições de acolhimento para crianças e adolescentes abandonados e em conflito com a lei, práticas para contenção dessa população foram priorizadas em detrimento de instrumentos que despertassem a crítica para formação desses cidadãos. O objetivo da dissertação foi analisar o histórico dessas instituições para elucidar as contradições deste Sistema de Atividade que impede a concretização de um projeto socioeducativo para os meninos e meninas internados na Fundação Casa. Foi realizada coleta de dados etnográficos, por meio de entrevistas, observação participante, combinada com consulta em artigos, teses, dissertações, literatura e filmes sobre o histórico institucional e seu funcionamento na atualidade. Utilizando conceitos da Teoria da Atividade Histórico Cultural foi realizada análise histórica para evidenciar contradições em três momentos distintos: surgimento dos reformatórios, criação da Fundação do Bem Estar do Menor e transição para a Fundação Centro de Atendimento Socioeducativo. A análise mostrou o desenvolvimento institucional passando da proposta de contenção para um modelo socioeducativo. Entretanto, as práticas disciplinares para contenção dos internos não foram totalmente extintas causando distúrbios e anomalias no Sistema de Atividade. Aventa-se a hipótese da existência de um objeto em disputa evidenciando suas contradições nos e entre os elementos do Sistema. Para que ocorram mudanças que acompanhem a proposta socioeducativa, é preciso uma expansão conceitual do objeto pela instituição, de modo que ele seja compartilhado pelos diferentes profissionais envolvidos na atividade, orientando ações articuladas voltadas para atenderem à demanda social atual. Para tanto se propõe o Laboratório de Mudança (LM), método de intervenção formativa com potencial de reunir os atores para construção de soluções inovadoras e experimentação de práticas baseadas em novas relações de trabalho. / In Brazil, public policies for the reintegration of adolescents in conflict with the law face challenges to their effectiveness. Since the emergence of the first shelter institutions for children and adolescents abandoned and in conflict with the law, practices to contain this population have been prioritized to the detriment of instruments that provoke criticism for the formation of these citizens. The purpose of the dissertation was to analyze the history of these institutions to elucidate the contradictions of this Activity System that prevents the implementation of a socio-educational project for boys and girls admitted to the Casa Foundation. Ethnographic data collection was carried out, through interviews, participant observation, combined with consultation on articles, theses, dissertations, literature and films about the institutional history and its current functioning. Using concepts from the Historical Cultural Activity Theory, a historical analysis was carried out to highlight contradictions in three distinct moments: the emergence of the reformatories, the creation of the Welfare of the Minors Foundation and the transition to the Socio-Educational Center. The analysis showed the institutional development going from the contention proposal to a socio-educational model. However, disciplinary practices for restraint of inmates were not totally extinguished causing disturbances and anomalies in the Activity System. The hypothesis of the existence of a disputed object is presented, evidencing its contradictions in and among the elements of the System. In order to bring about changes that accompany the socio-educational proposal, a conceptual expansion of the object by the institution is necessary, so that it is shared by the different professionals involved in the activity, guiding articulated actions aimed at meeting the current social demand. For that, the Change Laboratory is proposed, a method of training intervention with the potential to bring together the actors for the construction of innovative solutions and experimentation of practices based on new working relationships.

A formative intervention research was carried out in such a way that, according to Engeström (2011), the construction and change of concepts involve confrontation, questioning and negotiation. This work s theoretical framework is founded on the Social-Historical-Cultural Activity Theory, as discussed by Vygotsky (1930/2008; 1934/2001), Leontiev (1977) and Engeström (1987; 1999; 2001/2005); on the concepts of collaboration and reflection discussed by Magalhães (2003/2007; 2007; 2009; 2010); and, on the discussions about argumentation in school contexts proposed by Liberali (2004a) and Leitão & Damianovic (2011). A questionnaire about collaboration was applied to the participants, who received and answered it by email. Reflexive Sessions among participants, held after class observation, were audio-recorded and transcribed. The data were analyzed according to categories that were developed by Liberali (2013), Magalhães (2004), Orsolini (2005), Pontecorvo (2005), Brookfield and Preskill (2005), Magalhães e Fidalgo (2007), concerning the language used by the subjects throughout the intervention. The analysis of the data shows that the sense of collaboration spread in the group of English teachers at the school where the research was done, was the sense of comfortable collaboration. The results also reveal that the actions taken by the teacher-researcher and other participants started to awaken the sense of critical collaboration in the group / O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar criticamente tanto os sentidos de colaboração que circulam em um grupo de trabalho constituído por professores de inglês, como ações que contribuem para a construção de colaboração crítica neste grupo de trabalho. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de intervenção formativa em que, segundo Engeström (2011), a formação e a mudança de conceitos envolvem confronto e contestação assim como negociação. Como perspectiva norteando este trabalho, está a Teoria da Atividade Sócio-Histórico-Cultural, tal como discutida nos trabalhos de Vygotsky (1930/2008; 1934/2001), Leontiev (1977) e Engeström (1987; 1999; 2001/2005); nos conceitos de colaboração e reflexão discutidos por Magalhães (2003/2007; 2007; 2009; 2010); e, nas discussões sobre argumentação em contexto escolar propostas por Liberali (2004a) e Leitão e Damianovic (2011). Inicialmente, foi aplicado, aos participantes, um questionário sobre o sentido de colaboração para eles, tendo sido enviado e respondido por e-mail. Foram realizadas e áudiogravadas sessões reflexivas com os participantes, após observação de aulas entre eles. Os dados foram analisados a partir das categorias desenvolvidas por Liberali (2013), Magalhães (2004), Orsolini (2005), Pontecorvo (2005), Brookfield e Preskill (2005), Magalhães e Fidalgo (2007), quanto à linguagem usada pelos sujeitos no decorrer de toda a intervenção, observando se as perguntas da pesquisa foram respondidas e se ocorreu a reorganização da prática, para a construção de colaboração crítica. Os dados apontam que o sentido de colaboração que circulava no grupo de professores de inglês na escola onde a pesquisa foi realizada era o de colaboração confortável, e revelam que as ações da professora-pesquisadora e dos demais professores começaram a despertar no grupo o sentido de colaboração crítica

The study is grounded on the social-historical-cultural Activity Theory (Vygotsky, 1933-1935/1934, Leontiev, 1977-1978), which is founded by the dialogical comprehension of language (Bakhtin, 1981). Besides, it also presents some of the conceptions of bilingual education based on the work of Hamers and Blanc (2000). This is a critical action-research (Kincheloe, 1997), since there is evaluation, reflection and reconstruction of practice, in a critical paradigm, inserted in the context of bilingual education. It aims at the transformation and new alternatives for the ones involved in the research and at new horizons in the bilingual teaching-learning process. This research includes the researcher-teacher and the group of grade six students at a bilingual school in the city of São Paulo. The study was carried out in the second term in 2005 and the material collected is composed of selected video recordings of the classes taught in that term. The results point out to the English language being the teaching-learning object in English classes, in an enunciative point of view, being built up to become a tool-for-result when it is used without questionings that expand the understanding of the students about the language itself. It is a tool-and-result when it is interpreted, contested and expanded throughout debates between the teacher and the students. English is the object in social studies classes when it refers to new vocabulary, grammatical content or genres that may be part of the activity. It is a tool-for-result when used without a broad reflection or a major examination made by the students concerning concepts of the area. The English language is a tool-and-result in social studies classes in situations in which there are questions that expand and correlate concepts, and the subjects of the activity deal with the language beyond its structure. It also is used to constitute the object of social studies classes. Therefore, the results of this analysis indicate that, in this perspective, language expands itself and the area content, in both subjects / O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir o papel da língua inglesa como ferramenta mediadora em educação bilíngüe. O estudo está fundamentado na Teoria da Atividade sócio-histórico-cultural (Vygotsky, 1933-1935/1934, Leontiev, 1977-1978), que, por sua vez, apóia-se na concepção sócio-histórico-cultural do desenvolvimento (Vygotsky, 1933,1935), bem como na compreensão dialógica da linguagem (Bakhtin, 1981). Também utiliza as visões a respeito de educação bilíngüe presentes no trabalho de Hamers e Blanc (2000). Trata-se de uma pesquisa-ação crítica (Kincheloe, 1997), uma vez que há avaliação, reflexão e reconstrução da própria prática, em um paradigma crítico, inserida no contexto educacional bilíngüe, visando transformação e novas alternativas para os envolvidos na pesquisa e novos horizontes em ensino-aprendizagem bilíngüe. Esta investigação inclui a professora-pesquisadora e a turma de alunos da sexta série do ensino fundamental de uma escola bilíngüe na cidade de São Paulo. O estudo foi conduzido durante o segundo bimestre letivo do ano 2005 e o material coletado compõe-se por gravações em vídeo das aulas do período, com seleção dos dados, a partir de análise inicial. Os resultados apontam que nas aulas de língua inglesa o objeto da atividade é o inglês, contemplado em uma visão enunciativa. É constituído para se tornar ferramenta-para-resultado, utilizado para expandir a compreensão dos alunos sobre a própria língua. É instrumento-e-resultado quando é interpretado, contestado e expandido durante os debates entre professora e alunos. Nas aulas de estudos sociais, o inglês é o objeto quando se refere a novo vocabulário, conteúdo gramatical ou gêneros que possam fazer parte da atividade. É ferramenta-para-resultado quando é utilizado sem uma reflexão maior ou sem grandes questionamentos por parte dos alunos a respeito dos conceitos relativos à área. O inglês é ferramenta-e-resultado nas aulas de estudos sociais em momentos nos quais existem questões para expandir e fazer correlações entre conceitos, e a língua assume um papel para além de sua estrutura, servindo para constituir o próprio objeto de estudos sociais. A discussão dos resultados aponta que, nessa perspectiva, a linguagem expande a si mesma e ao conteúdo da área, nas duas disciplinas

The study is based in the Socio-Historical-Cultural Activity Theory, which understands that the activities of life are spaces for the development of human relations. In this perspective, the development of the participants of a given context is produced in a dialectical process, though critical reflection and through the actions of the subjects while they transform their own reality. This research focused on the training space for teachers in the “Jornada Especial Integral de Formação” (Special Integral Training Workshop), and the participants were a group of twelve teachers, a pedagogical coordinator, a school principal, a teaching supervisor and this researcher, who is also a Physical Education teacher in a municipal school located in the southern region of São Paulo. The study was conducted under the light of the Critical Collaborative Research, as an intervention-investigation assisted by the theoretical framework of the Socio-Historical-Cultural Activity Theory. We analyzed: 1) the Political Pedagogical Project of the school, 2) audio-recorded semi-structured interviews carried out with six subjects and 3) the training space. The analyses were performed based on the four-action cycle proposed by Smyth (1992): describe, inform, confront and reconstruct. The results of the investigation allowed us to perceive the distance between the socio-historical-cultural context and the pedagogical practice of the school. With this, a critical-collaborative training plan was proposed, to be shared with the school and submitted to the supervisors of the regional Board of Education / Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar as relações entre as propostas formativas na Escola e seu contexto sócio-histórico-cultural para desenvolver uma proposta de formação crítico-colaborativa partindo das experiências vivenciadas pelos participantes da pesquisa. O estudo está fundamentado na Teoria da Atividade Sócio-Histórico-Cultural, que compreende as atividades da vida como espaços para desenvolvimento das relações humanas. Nessa perspectiva, o desenvolvimento dos participantes de um contexto é produzido no processo dialético, pela reflexão crítica e pelas ações dos sujeitos ao transformarem a própria realidade. Ao focalizar o espaço formativo dos professores na Jornada Especial Integral de Formação, o estudo teve como participantes um grupo de doze professores, um coordenador pedagógico, um diretor, uma supervisora de ensino e esta pesquisadora, também atuante como professora de Educação Física na escola municipal pesquisada, localizada na região da zona Sul de São Paulo. O estudo foi elaborado a partir da Pesquisa Crítica de Colaboração, como uma investigação de intervenção apoiada nas discussões da Teoria da Atividade Sócio-Histórico-Cultural. Neste estudo, foi feita a análise do documento do Projeto Político Pedagógico, de entrevistas semiestruturadas gravadas em áudio com seis sujeitos da pesquisa e da observação do espaço de formação. As análises foram realizadas com base no ciclo de quatro ações proposto por Smyth (1992): descrever, informar, confrontar e reconstruir. Com os resultados da investigação, foi percebido o distanciamento entre o contexto sócio-histórico-cultural e a prática pedagógica da escola. Com isso, foi proposto um plano de formação crítico-colaborativa a ser compartilhado com a escola e apresentado à supervisão da Diretoria de Educação da região

During the process, we intended to describe ATPC socio-historical-cultural context in São Paulo Secretary of Education and in two State Schools, located in the eastern region of São Paulo. Based on the descriptions, we planned an education proposal for educators, which subsidize Teacher Coordinators to develop ATPC as a collaborative critical space. The chosen methodology was the Critical Collaborative Research (MAGALHÃES, 2011), which allows intervention in school practices through the understanding of socio-historical-cultural context, the collaborative relations among the research subjects and the redefinition of school practices. The survey was conducted with two Teacher Coordinators from the final years of elementary school, the sector in which the researcher is an educator. The focal pedagogical practice is critical collaboration at ATPC. The instruments used to for the analyses were the audio of the ATPCs meetings and the questionnaire answered by the Teacher Coordinators. The theoretical framework was guided by discussions on collaboration and critical thinking in the light of Social-Historical-Cultural Activity Theory (TASHC) and on critical education. Analyses were conducted based on the components of Social-Historical-Cultural Activity Theory, which allowed us to visualize ATPC as an activity and identify if and how critical collaboration happens in this context. The understanding of the results allowed us to develop an education proposal for ATPCs as a critical collaborative space / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender o contexto sócio-histórico-cultural da Aula de Trabalho Pedagógico Coletivo (ATPC) e desenvolver uma proposta de formação da ATPC como espaço crítico de colaboração. Nesse processo, pretendeu-se descrever o contexto sócio-histórico-cultural da ATPC na Secretaria da Educação do Estado de São Paulo e de duas escolas da rede estadual, localizadas na região leste de São Paulo. Com base nas descrições, foi planejada uma proposta de formação para formadores que subsidie o Professor Coordenador a desenvolver a ATPC como espaço crítico de colaboração. A metodologia escolhida foi a Pesquisa Crítica de Colaboração (MAGALHÃES, 2011), que possibilita a intervenção nas práticas escolares por meio da compreensão do contexto sócio-histórico-cultural, das relações colaborativas entre os sujeitos da pesquisa e da ressignificação das práticas escolares. A pesquisa foi realizada com dois Professores Coordenadores dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental, setor do qual a pesquisadora é formadora. A prática pedagógica em foco é a colaboração crítica em ATPC. Foram utilizados como instrumentos para as análises os áudios das ATPCs e o questionário respondido pelos Professores Coordenadores. O referencial teórico estudado foi norteado pelas discussões sobre colaboração e reflexão crítica, no quadro da Teoria da Atividade sócio-histórico-cultural (TASHC) e da formação crítica de educadores. As análises foram realizadas a partir dos componentes do quadro da Teoria da Atividade Sócio-Histórico-Cultural, o que permitiu visualizar a ATPC como uma atividade e identificar se e como a colaboração crítica acontece nelas. A compreensão dos resultados permitiu desenvolver uma proposta de formação de ATPC como espaço crítico de colaboração
