Para cumprir com esta proposta, adotamos o modelo de Multiletramentos Digitais, de Selber (2004), que congrega as várias dimensões de Letramento(s) Digital(is) e tenta explicá-los razoavelmente através de três categorias principais: Letramento Digital Funcional; Letramento Digital Crítico e Letramento Digital Retórico. Além disso, para melhor investigar as práticas discursivas das professoras pesquisadas, encontramos suporte na Teoria do Posicionamento, de acordo com a qual nós disponibilizamos lugares discursivos para nós mesmos e para os outros dentro de uma ordem moral que estabelecemos durante uma troca simbólica, construindo pontos de vista específicos através de posicionamentos (cf. HARRÉ e VAN LANGENHOVE, 1999). Metodologicamente, esta pesquisa se estrutura como um estudo de caso etnográfico (ANDRÉ, 1995; YIN, 2001; VIÉGAS, 2007), associado a uma (micro) análise do discurso (GEE et al., 1992; SACKS et al., 1974, 2005; DAVIES e HARRÉ, 1990). O contexto investigado é uma escola pública da rede municipal de ensino de Juiz de Fora-MG, localizada em um bairro periférico da cidade. As participantes são três professoras que se relacionaram direta e indiretamente com as TICs no ensino, a saber: a professora de Informática Educacional, a professora regente de turma (4º ano do Ensino Fundamental) e a professora responsável pela biblioteca escolar. Para geração de dados, utilizamos questionários, notas de campo, observação e entrevistas semi-estruturadas. O corpus de pesquisa constitui-se principalmente das transcrições das entrevistas realizadas com as participantes. Os resultados do estudo indicam que, embora as professoras tenham um posicionamento favorável ao uso das TICs no ensino, suas experiências pessoais e profissionais com tais tecnologias acabam influenciando em diferentes níveis de engajamento quanto ao projeto de inserção das TICs no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. A análise dos dados também indica um predomínio do modelo de Letramento Digital Funcional na escola investigada, o que aponta para a necessidade de se adotar perspectivas mais críticas de Letramento(s) Digital(is) no contexto educacional. / The aim of this thesis is to investigate the discursive practices of three teachers that have kept direct and indirect relationships with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT‟s) in the teaching-learning process. To accomplish with this purpose, we have adopted as theoretical framework the model of Digital Multiliteracies proposed by Selber (2004), which considers the multilayered dimensions of Digital Literacies and tries to explain them reasonably through three main levels of computer literacy: Functional Literacy, Critical Literacy, and Rhetorical Literacy. In addition, to better investigate the discursive practices of the teachers surveyed, we also have found support on Positioning Theory, according to which we provide discursive locations for ourselves and the others within a moral order that we establish during a symbolic exchange, building specific points of view inside the positions we take on (Harré and Van Langenhove, 1999). Methodologically, this research is structured as an ethnographic case study (André, 1995; Yin, 2001; Viégas, 2007) associated to a discourse (micro) analysis (Gee et al., 1992; Sacks et al., 1974, 2005; Davies and Harré, 1990). The context of this qualitative research is a public school pertaining to the municipal education system of Juiz de Fora – Minas Gerais. This school is located in a suburbian area of the city. The participants are three teachers that have kept direct and indirect relationships with ICT‟s in education, namely: the teacher of Educational Informatics, the teacher of a classroom (4th year of Brazilian elementary school) and the teacher responsible for the school library. To generate the data, we have used questionnaires, field notes, observation and semi-structured interviews. The corpus of this research consists mainly of the transcripts from interviews made with the participants. The results of this study point out that although the teachers have taken on favorable positions regarding the use of ICT‟s in education, their personal and professional experiences with such technologies tend to influence at different levels of commitment to the project of insertion of ICT‟s in the teaching-learning process. The data analysis also evinces a predominance of Functional Digital Literacy in the school investigated, which indicates the necessity for adoption of more critical perspectives regarding Digital Literacies in educational settings.

Primary school teaching and learning, and indeed the whole teaching profession continue to be shaped by the ever – changing knowledge economy and global educational trends. To this end, professional teacher development in Zimbabwean primary schools has become an important focus area in terms of how it can facilitate and contribute to effective teaching and learning in line with the new educational developments. There is consensus among primary school stakeholders that the success of teaching and learning is dependent on promoting an efficient and student - needs driven in – service programme. The purpose of the study was to explore the influence of the university B.Ed (primary) in – service teacher development programme in its mandate to fulfill the critical function to develop primary school teachers with knowledge, skills and competencies for the Zimbabwean primary education system. The imperative has been for the university in – service programme to offer competences and skills that are needed by primary school teachers and for these teachers to upgrade and update their skills for effective teaching and student learning. The theoretical approach that informed the study was Vygotsky’s Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) with its main perspective being that knowledge is socially constructed and takes place in real contexts. The study ontology was interpretivism in which the qualitative single case study design was employed. The data were collected through semi - structured interviews with the Chairperson and five lecturers of the Curriculum Studies Department and focus group discussion in respect of ten B.Ed (primary) in – service student teachers. The participants were purposefully sampled taking into account their knowledge and experience with the in – service programme and primary school teaching - learning contexts. The study found that the B.Ed (primary) in – service programme had minimal influence on primary school teachers’ teaching and learning needs. The programme had not fully addressed the primary school teachers’ expectations in terms of imparting knowledge and skills useful for classroom teaching and learning. One of the major contributory factors was that there were curriculum design frailties of the programme which were as a result of lack of dialogue, engagement and consultation between and among important primary school education stakeholders especially in – service teachers. As a result, the programme had not adequately raised the teachers’ knowledge and skills in the critical areas of their practice, yet this was the core function of the programme. From the findings, the study recommends that the University sets up a strong Curriculum Development Department funded and staffed with experts in research and curriculum design and development. These should manage the designing and preparation of curriculum documents by involving primary school stakeholders, especially primary school teachers. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / Ph. D.

The diploma thesis on the topic "Teaching of Economics at a Secondary Vocational School from the Didactics of Social Sciences Perspective" is divided into two parts. The first part is a theoretical one, where the author defines the theoretical didactic concepts in detail, and they are then used in the second, practical part of the thesis. This part presents a proposal of a didactic unit, which deals with the teaching of wage calculation. It includes a worksheet and methodical sheet as well, the detailed didactic preparation and detailed reflection of the implemented didactic unit in the classroom and online teaching. Repeatedly practising this didactic unit, it can be noted that the proposed form of teaching is effective and accepted by students. Personal and social skills, mathematical skills and critical thinking training also go beyond the main topic.
