Nesse processo, que teve como cenário um curso de ELE de uma universidade do sudeste brasileiro com aprendizes cuja primeira língua é o Português, foi criado um ambiente de ensino-aprendizagem, de produção interativa-discursiva que gerou possibilidades de apropriação da nova língua (Espanhol). Assim, na presente pesquisa qualitativo-interpretativa de cunho etnográfico, foram analisados e interpretados 44 extratos de tarefas desenvolvidas pelos aprendizes de ELE no período compreendido entre 2003-2005. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram que a competência comunicativa foi atingida por meio de uma ¿vontade sustentada¿ dos aprendizes de significar na nova língua propiciada pelo ¿fascínio¿ do ¿real -maravilhoso¿ inerente ao eixo temático proposto. Essa produção interativo-discursiva ¿sustentada¿ se caracterizou por ser estendida, aprofundada e personalizada. Considerando os dados gerados, pudemos perceber que a partir do espaço privilegiado da sala de aula de ELE, pretendeu-se interpretar não só o que aconteceu durante o processo pesquisado, mas a ¿interação vivenciada¿ sem simulações desenvolvida entre a professora e seus alunos que constituiu-se num patamar de produção da L-alvo para atingir uma competência comunicativa não idealizada à luz do respeito pela ¿língua do Outro¿ e considerando ¿a realidade sócio- histórica e cultural do aprendiz de ELE no Brasil¿ / Resumo: This work describes and interprets how the communicative competence was developed while teaching and learning Spanish as a foreign language to students who first language was Portuguese. This process of teaching and learning was orientated by a ¿communicative intercultural¿ approach that worked as a ¿potential force¿ and established the guidelines of learning and teaching the foreign language. It was necessary to plan a course to develop a kind of interactive language learning process for using and acquiring the new language. Focus on classroom as a social setting, it was constructed a socio-historical communicative environment ¿real -maravilhoso¿ (Carpentier, 1977) to teach and learn Spanish in an University in the southeast of Brazil. There were analyzed and interpreted 44 samples of tasks during the period between 2003 and 2005 throughout the six editions of the course. The results evidenced that the communicative competence was achieved through a kind of interactive process that was characterized for the students' ¿strong desire¿ of using, producing and sharing meaning in the foreign language produced by ¿the fascination¿ for the topic. There were recognized three features of this maintained classroom interaction that was nominated as expansion, depth and identity. From the data we have collected we could realize that this work not only pretended to be a progress report on what happened in the Spanish foreign classroom as a context for the language of teaching and learning but also focused how an authentic and real ¿vivid interaction¿ was developed between a teacher and her students as a step to get a non idealized communicative competence. It was taken into consideration the socio-historical and cultural background of the Portuguese students learning Spanish as foreign language in Brazil / Doutorado / Lingua Estrangeira / Doutor em Linguística Aplicada

The establishment of a culture of teaching and learning in disadvantaged high schools is a challenging phenomenon since the inception of the new democratic South Africa. This study attempts to investigate variables contributing towards the establishment of a culture of teaching and learning in high schools. It is revealed through literature study that some investigations into this research topic has already been done in South Africa, but little if none is done in the disadvantaged high schools in the North-West Province, that is the reason why I was prompted to pursue this topic further. The high failure rate in Grade 12 results according to my opinion is a serious concern and is on the lips of every teacher, learner, parent, politician and relevant stakeholders. This high failure rate is, according to the findings from the literature review, caused by factors such as underqualified and unqualified teachers, inadequate resources, over-crowded classrooms, poor infra-structures (buildings), poor socio economic background of learners’ parents, inconducive environment at school and inadequate role played by teachers and learners in the teaching and learning situation. One expects that the majority of disadvantaged schools would have achieved above the 70% as the pass rate benchmark in the final Grade 12 examinations. However, in most schools in the disadvantaged area this is not the case. Based on the above statement and the complexity of the study in consultation with variables employed, I opted to use both quantitative and qualitative research designs with an aim to attempt to obtain consistency, validity and reliability of the research results. The analyses of the results reveal that most disadvantaged schools still experience a poor culture of teaching and learning. This is evidenced by low Grade 12 pass rate results in some of the provinces, including North-West. The research revealed that the variables impacting on the performance of learners at schools are subjected to a complexity of integrated activities many of which are difficult to isolate as predominantly responsible for poor performance as such. What does appear to be an issue of concern is the apparent lack of dedication one would expect from some teachers working with secondary school learners. One could conclude from the many responses that poor achievement is directly linked to poor teaching and that the latter would again be the result of poor qualifications, lack of resources, poor support systems and most important however, a lack of commitment and dedication needed to ensure a professional approach towards classroom management and teaching. / Dissertation (PhD (Curriculum and Instructional Design and Development))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Curriculum Studies / unrestricted

Hur får matematiklärare tillsammans med specialläraren, ungdomar att efter upprepade misslyckanden med matematik att fortsätta kämpa. Svaret på den frågan kan vara matematisk elasticitet. Matematisk elasticitet är något som skulle vara värt att utveckla hos ungdomar i Sverige. De fyra grundpelarna matematisk elasticitet står på är att eleven har vetskap om: Tro på att hen kan lära sig matematik, värdet av kunskap i sitt framtida liv, för att utvecklas i matematik behöver eleven lägga ner tid på träning i matematik, och att våga bege sig in i utvecklingszonen och att stanna kvar där med hjälp av stöttning från läraren är viktigt. I den semistrukturerade intervjustudien ingick sju personer. Från intervjuerna sorterades citat in i sju kategorier enligt följande: tid, negativa känslor, positiva känslor, motivation, externmiljö, internmiljö och förhållningssätt. Studien visade att trots upprepade misslyckanden så går det att övervinna svårigheter. Ingenting är omöjligt. Det fanns elever med en inre motivation som tack vare det lyckades att klara matematiken trots tidigare misslyckanden. Mycket tack vare matematisk elasticitet. Som speciallärare i matematik är det lätt att fokusera på enstaka saker i matematik som måste läras ut, och att se helheten är lätt att glömma bort. Att istället fokusera på matematisk elasticitet är ett sätt att lära eleven självhjälp och inte bli beroende av vilken lärare som hen har. Komvuxlärarna jobbade med matematisk elasticitet fast de inte var medvetna om begreppet och vad det innebär, instinktivt gjorde de det ändå. / How do the mathematics teacher together with the special teacher get pupils to struggle after repeated failures? Mathematical resilience could be the answer. In a Swedish context this is something needed to develop pupils in mathematics. One way out of this is to focus on three important themes: value, struggle and growth. From this it develops four different knowledges such as having a growth mindset, mathematics can be valuable, struggle and support to stay in the growth zone. Seven persons were interviewed using semi structured interviews. Selected quotes were sorted in seven categories as follows: time, negative feelings, positive feelings, motivation, extern-, intern-environment and treatment. The study shows that if a pupil has difficulties with mathematics things are not hopeless. There were pupils with intrinsic motivation who succeeded after several failures with the help of mathematical resilience. This is valuable to know for special teachers. The math teachers at the adult-school was not aware of that they worked with mathematic resilience, but instinctively they did.

Gibbons (2015) writes that speaking is considered as the most important skill in language learning. However, Lundahl (2014) states that there are some pupils, in year 4-6, in Sweden who do not speak during the English lessons. Thus, the aim of this study is to find out what the reasons behind EFL pupils' unwillingness to speak English are. Furthermore, teaching strategies to overcome pupils' speaking anxiety are investigated. There are many studies that investigate the underlying reasons. The data collection, for this thesis, consists of interviews with some student-teachers at Malmö University. The results showed that traditional teaching methods along with fear of making linguistic errors are two of the main reasons. In addition, negative evaluation from peers and fear of producing grammatically incorrect sentences are also factors that contribute to some pupils’ anxiety over speaking English. According to our interviewees, the implementation of a safe, supportive and communicative environment in the classroom is crucial for encouraging and motivating pupils in language learning. Providing different authentic communicative tasks, songs, stories, and games that are related to pupils' lives and interests, as well as their needs and knowledge levels, are some of the strategies employed by some teachers.

The subject of this thesis is the teacher's and the pupils' skill of empathy and its connection to the effectiveness of the learning process. In the theoretical part of the thesis the author defines empathy and states the issue of its definition. The author also focuses on the topic of development of empathy and how it is connected to the safe classroom environment. Also, the factors that influence the level of empathy within a person are explained. The thesis describes the role of empathy in the communication of a teacher and the pupils and how communication blocks obstruct expressions of empathy. The influence of empathy in the educational process is described on areas where emotions of the pupils play a key role. The thesis describes the possibilities of the teacher's development of empathy as well as practices that allow this development with the students of first five grades in elementary school. The aim of the empirical part is to find out how the future teachers view empathy. The research is aimed at finding out how students of education define empathy, whether they think it can be cultivated, whether teachers can influence the level of empathy of their students and if so, how. The second aim of the empirical part is to create and teach a lecture that would bring a deeper understanding of...

The purpose of this study was to ascertain student and teacher perceptions of the environment in which student learning takes place and their perceptions of how it has helped them in the cognitive and social domains. Data collected were through student and teacher perception surveys, student and teacher perception questionnaires, classroom observations, student focus group discussions, and teacher interviews. Themes that emerged from the data sources were student interactions, students' autonomy in personalizing their learning space, teacher perceptions of comfort in the classroom, and student perceptions of comfort in the classroom. The findings of this study point to four recommendations for educational leaders to ensure the effective implementation of new and dynamic learning spaces: (1) consult and support teacher and students, (2) provide professional development, (3) visit campuses and other learning spaces, and (4) add color. In order for real change to take place, teachers need to enquire about and embrace student preferences and allow for the discomfort that will be present when trying something new. Teachers must be willing to relinquish control of the learning experience for the student in order to allow for possibilities in personalized learning on the part of the student. They must risk initial failure in order to allow for greater successes in the long run.

Although there are many studies of the results of non-promotion, few sociometric studies have been made which show that the over-age child is not accepted by his younger classmates. What happens, then, when a child is older than his age group? What are the effects on the social status of the overage child? The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to investigate the social acceptance status of the over-age child in a sixth grade classroom. / Typescript. / "A Paper." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / "August, 1957." / Advisor: Sarah Lou Hammond, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references.

Syftet med den systematiska litteraturstudien är att ge en översikt över forskning om i vilka sammanhang elever är tystlåtna och hur tystlåtenheten relateras till elevernas personliga drag och kompetenser samt om hur alla elever kan involveras i muntligt aktiva klassrum. Studien grundas i tidigare forskning som samlat in sitt material framför allt genom empiriska metoder, som intervjuer, observationer och enkäter. Resultatet visar att det finns många bakomliggande faktorer till att vissa elever håller sig tysta under lektionerna. Rädsla, ångest och blyghet tas upp som orsaker till tystlåtenheten i flera av de publikationer som ingår i översikten. I forskningen som ingår i studien finns även vad läraren kan göra för att hjälpa sina tystlåtna elever. Dessa insatser kan vara att se över lektionsplaneringen och skapa en bra klassrumsmiljö med tydliga regler och riktlinjer men även att skapa goda relationer med eleverna för att kunna möta dem och gynna var och en av dem. Lärarna behöver möta eleverna på olika sätt för att undervisningen ska gynna varje individ. Deltagarna i de empiriska studierna är elever eller studenter, vilket betyder att lärarröster saknas i översikten. Majoriteten av all forskning som studien inkluderar är forskning som berör äldre elever och studenter. Detta visar att forskningen som utförts såväl i Sverige som i andra länder gällande lågoch mellanstadieelevers tystlåtenhet är begränsad.

Kommunikation kan ske via tal, skrift eller kroppsspråk. Elever kommunicerar dagligen både hemma och i skolan. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vad som kan påverka elevers muntliga förmåga, där studien är avgränsad till kommunikativa förhållningssätt, arbetsmetoder och klassrumsmiljö. En annan avgränsning är att studien genomförs på endast en skola eftersom det är begränsat med tid och resurser. Studien grundas på en kvalitativ ansats och de verktyg som används är observationer i två klasser och intervjuer med två lärare. Det hermeneutiska paradigmet och det sociokulturella perspektivet är den teoretiska ramen för studien. Under observationerna framkommer det att dialogisk, interaktiv, icke- interaktiv och auktoritativ kommunikation genomsyrar klassrummen. Dessutom visar resultatet att den arbetsmetod som lärarna använder mest är grupparbeten och att mindre grupper är mest givande. Det som framkommer under intervjuerna är att lärarna anser att relationer och motivation är sammanvävda och påverkar varandra, vilket överensstämmer med den tidigare forskningen.
