The purpose of the present study is to investigate the differences on gifted student&rsquo / s attitudes toward science and their preferred classroom climate during science classes based on gender and grade level.
Two questionnaires, the Test of Science Related Attitudes (TOSRA) and the Individualized Classroom Environment Questionnaire (ICEQ), were used as survey tools in this study. A group of 163 gifted and talented students among four academic levels which are eighth grade, English prep class, ninth and eleventh grade were assigned to take part in this study.
The data obtained from administration of measuring instrument were analyzed by using Two-Analyses of Variance (ANOVA).
Result indicated that grade level of students had a significant effect on attitudes towards science. The study found, first, lower-grade students show more positive attitudes toward science than the students at higher-grade level.
Secondly, there are significant differences were found among students in their perceptions of the science classroom environment based on their gender and grade level. Female students expected more personalization than male students, higher grade students preferred to have more independence and more differentiated classroom environment than lower grade students while they are learning.

A new model of students' perceptions of the primary school classroom emotional environment : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Psychology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New ZealandAndersen, Rachel Joy January 2009 (has links)
94 items was developed that encapsulate what children notice in their classrooms as affecting the emotional environment and the language they use to describe it. Study 3 had 63 adults use a modified decision task to sort the 94 items into groups of their selection of similarity and dissimilarity. The analysis of these data revealed 11 clusters of items and 3 underlying dimensions - Teacher Affect, Teacher Expectations and Style, and Classroom Dynamics. Each dimension has two opposing ends, and each of the 94 items can be viewed on a three dimensional map showing their relationship to each of the other 93 items along these 3 underlying dimensions. The visual graphic makes these dimensions easy to interpret for those who are likely to be organising classroom environments. This research shows that when given a chance to talk about their experiences in classrooms, students can explain what they value in a classroom, what they will remember about school, and what influences them and their learning.

A Gestalt program for establishing a contact making process of inclusion between educators and learners in the foundation phaseFourie, Alma 31 December 2005 (has links)
The relationship that exists between the educator and the ]earners is very important. A
positive relationship will contribute to the learners' feeling safe to explore their potentiaL
A positive relationship will lead to educators feeling motivated towards teaching.
Educators do, however, bring unfinished business to the classroom that affects their
relationship with their learners. The learners also bring unfinished business to the
classroom that affects their relationship with their educators. The resulting educatorlearner
relationship is characterized by a contact making process of exclusion. 'I11is often
leads to disciplinary problems and learners being referred to the school psychologist for
counseling.
The first research objective, therefore, was to develop a Gestalt program that wiiJ assist in
creating a safe environment in which the learners and educators can share their feelings
and emotions. The second objective was to establish a contact making process of
inclusion between learners and educators in the foundation phase.
After reviewing literature on the research problem. the researcher consulted experts on
the subject. Thorough research was done on existing literature relating to the research
problem. Using as a base the information gathered from consulting experts, the literature
search and the preliminary exploratory studies, the researcher developed the program.
The program was first pilot tested at school A. After completion of the pilot study, the
program was tested under field conditions at school B. Qualitative and quantitative data
analysis procedures were used to analyze the data. The results from both the pilot test and
the field test indicated that the program increased the awareness of the educators who
formed part of the experimental group. The awareness of the educators who formed part
of the control group, who did not receive the intervention, stayed the same. The results of
the research project allowed the researcher to continue developing a product for
dissemination.
The research study contributed to the development of a Gestalt program that assisted in
creating a safe environment where the learners and educators could share their feelings
and emotions. The program also contributed lo creating a contact making process of
inclusion between educators and learners in the foundation phase. Finally the research
study provided a program that can be used to assist professionals and other individuals in
the fields of education, psychology or social work. / Social work / M. Diac.

Entre silenciamentos e invisibilidades: relações de gênero no cotidiano das aulas de matemáticaCasagrande, Lindamir Salete 09 December 2011 (has links)
O objetivo desta tese foi o de verificar como acontecem as relações de gênero nas aulas de Matemática de 5ª a 8ª séries do ensino fundamental em um Colégio da rede estadual de educação de Curitiba no Paraná. A pesquisa é de cunho qualitativo e foi realizada com base no método etnográfico. Foram utilizadas três técnicas de pesquisa para coleta de dados: observação, análise documental e entrevista. A faixa escolar foi escolhida pelo fato de que poucas pesquisas até então desenvolvidas abrangem estudantes desta faixa. Outro motivo para pesquisar esta faixa escolar é que os/as estudantes encontram-se em pleno processo de construção das identidades e julguei importante saber um pouco mais sobre a mesma. Observar a relação de meninos meninas com a Matemática se torna importante quando se lembra que a Matemática é considera uma disciplina masculina. A pesquisa de campo envolveu quatro turmas, uma de cada série. A observação foi por um período de seis meses e a entrevista foi realizada com quarenta estudantes (vinte meninas e vinte meninos) e quatro professores/as (dois homens e duas mulheres). Os documentos analisados foram os diários de classe (2009) e os editais com resultado final (2008). Os resultados apontam para a diferença de posicionamento de meninos e meninas em sala de aula, tanto na relação com os/as colegas e professores/as, quanto com relação ao conteúdo matemático. As meninas eram silenciadas e se silenciavam diante da classe e do/a professor/a. As relações de gênero também são silenciadas e invisibilizadas pelos/as pesquisados/as. Os dados apontam ainda que há a necessidade de que os/as profissionais sejam informados e formados para perceberem a forma como os/as discentes se relacionam entre si no espaço da sala de aula e assumam práticas para que todos/as tenham iguais condições de se manifestar pois a maioria dos/as discentes afirmou que silenciavam durante as aulas por vergonha e receio de ser motivo de chacota dos/as colegas. Percebeu-se que o poder era circulante naquelas turmas, ora estava com uns/umas, ora com outros/as e os/as estudantes construíam suas estratégias para exercer o poder e atingir seus objetivos. Durante a pesquisa percebeu-se que os estudos de gênero na educação é um campo que continua aberto para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas diversas. / The objective of this thesis was to verify how gender relations occur from 5th to 8th graders in Math classes in a public school in Curitiba, Paraná. This investigation was qualitative and conducted within an ethnographic framework. Three research techniques of data collecting were used: observation, documental analysis and interviews. The age group was chosen because there are few studies available within this age group. Four classes, one from each grade, were studied during the field research. The observations took place during a period of six months and interviews were carried out with forty students (twenty girls and twenty boys) and four teachers (two men and two women). Class diaries (2009) and final grades bulletins (2008) were analyzed. The results led us to believe that there is a different positioning of boys and girls in the classroom concerning the relations among peers and teachers as well as in relation to the content of Mathematics. Girls were silenced and silenced themselves during classes and in front of their teachers. The relations of gender were also silenced and unnoticeable by the researchers. The data also shows that there is a need for professionals to pay attention to how their pupils relate among themselves inside the classroom so they may guarantee that all students have equal conditions to express themselves considering a large number of students claim that they were silent during class because they were ashamed and feared they would be bullied by their peers. It was perceived that power circulated in those classes, sometimes ones had it, other times other students had it and these students developed their own strategies to exercise power and achieve their objectives. During this investigation, it was noticed that this is an open field for the conduction of various different kinds of studies.

The Relationships Among Organizational Communication Structures and Learning Outcomes in College Level Basic Communication CoursesCook, John A. (John Acklee) 12 1900 (has links)
Based on linear models, this study demonstrated that the psychological and social structures of the classroom, viewed as a naturalistic human system, impact learning outcomes. To operationalize learning outcomes, final grades in the course and a subject self report scale tapping perceptions of utility of material taught were used. The social and psychological structures of the classroom-as-a-human-system were operationalized through the following variables: the degree of social integration of each student, based on network analytic procedures; communication apprehension of students; dimensions of perceived credibility of instructors; dimensions of interpersonal attraction to instructors; perceived satisfaction with task demands of the course; and adjusted orientation to communication, based on communication apprehension scores and network data. Data were obtained from five sections of a multi-section communication course of a large state institution of higher learning in the southwestern region of the United States. Differences in sex were not found.

O ambiente escolar e a relaÃÃo com o saber: histÃria de vida, memÃria e narrativas de alunos do ensino fundamental / Environmental school and relation to know: living history, memory and alumni of narrative of basic educationJosà Melinho de Lima Neto 15 March 2016 (has links)
nÃo hà / A presente pesquisa objetivou compreender o ambiente escolar e a relaÃÃo com o saber dos alunos numa turma de 9 ano do ensino fundamental regular da Escola de Ensino Fundamental Raimundo Sotero de Moura, no municÃpio de Pacajus, no CearÃ, à luz de suas narrativas. As narrativas trazidas pelos estudantes foram analisadas como instrumento histÃrico importante para o entendimento da representaÃÃo acerca da sala de aula, na medida em que se situaram como sujeitos pertencentes a tal espaÃo. Eis o critÃrio de entendimento da relaÃÃo que eles fazem com o saber e a sala de aula. A proposta de construÃÃo do significado do ambiente escolar demonstrou a elevaÃÃo do sentimento de pertencimento dos alunos à escola, na medida em que colaborou com o desenvolvimento da autoestima, por destacar sua condiÃÃo de protagonistas no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Ao serem envolvidos numa atividade que propÃs a elaboraÃÃo de narrativas histÃricas de vida e de memÃria de tais discentes como parte integrante do processo escolar, foi possÃvel, por meio de tal procedimento, construir a representaÃÃo que fazem da escola. Admite-se que tal estudo seja oportuno para facilitar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, na medida em que envolveu discentes e professores da escola como sujeitos participantes da investigaÃÃo ao ser narrada a histÃria de vida dos educandos, evidenciando-se o significado que elaboram da sala de aula, bem como a relaÃÃo com o saber.
