Propondo para a compreensão da cognição individual a ideia da atuação do corpo cognitivo, que procura explicar, de que se constitui, como se configura e atua. Então, arrisca a metáfora da atuação do corpo cognitivo como abordagem epistêmica das formas de construção e difusão de conhecimento numa comunidade de prática, seguindo os estudos de Wenger e tendo como lócus de atuação e observação a comunidade de prática que trabalha na manutenção do ambiente Moodle na Universidade Federal da Bahia. A atuação do corpo cognitivo dá rota a esta navegação que tem como rumo a criação coletiva do conhecimento e justifica-se socialmente pela importância de desenvolver o conhecimento do conhecer. / ABSTRACT The thesis Cognitive Body Enaction, based on the metaphorical transit between individual and collective cognition, is developed in an interdisciplinary qualitative research that takes human cognition theoretical references from Varela, Thompson, Rosch, Lakoff, Johnson and others embodied mind studies and Damásio's conscious mind. Proposing the individual cognition understanding by means of cognitive body enaction idea, explains his constitution, how stands up and actuates. Then, taking some risk, proposes the cognitive body enaction metaphor as an epistemic approach to forms of knowledge construction and dissemination in a community of practice, following Wenger's studies and using the community of practice that maintains the Moodle environment at Federal University of Bahia as locus for action and observation. The cognitive body enaction gives route to this navigation, whose direction is the collective knowledge creation which is socially justified by the knowledge of knowing development.

Dans la nouvelle économie caractérisée par des propriétés telles que la mondialisation, l'intangibilité et l'interconnectivité, les organisations éducatives sont nécessaires pour surmonter les nouveaux défis, en particulier la nature changeante du dynamisme accru et de la complexité des exigences des organisations éducatives. L'une des philosophies stratégiques actuelles aidant les organisations éducatives à développer des capacités stratégiques traitant de l'incertitude est la gestion des connaissances (GC). Grâce à l'acquisition systématique, la création, le partage et l'utilisation des connaissances, les organisations développent, renouvellent et exploitent leurs ressources fondées sur le savoir, leur permettant ainsi d'être proactifs et adaptables aux changements extérieurs et d'atteindre le succès concurrentiel. Apparaissant comme un moyen puissant de maintien, de la compétitivité de l'organisation, GC a été largement étudiée et ce à partir de différentes perspectives. Toutefois, seul un nombre limité de recherches ont visé les ressources des organisations éducatives pour examiner empiriquement les relations entre l'infrastructure GC et les différentes stratégies pour investir les actifs humains. Pendant ce temps, la recherche sur les approches GC à partir d'une approche dynamique a été la plupart du temps de nature conceptuelle. Il est proposé ici que l'omission d'appliquer le processus GC peut entraver la contribution intégrée, potentiellement utile aux stratégies organisationnelles afin d'améliorer l'éducation des principaux éléments qui constituent les approches GC. En outre, un examen de la littérature montre que les preuves les plus empiriques ont été obtenues dans le cadre des pays développés. La possibilité que ces modèles pourraient être adoptés dans les organisations éducatives pour répondre aux spécificités des pays en développement a reçu très peu d'attention à ce jour. En se basant sur la théorie de l'apprentissage social prolongé par les approches basées sur la capacité des connaissances dynamiques, cette recherche développe un modèle théorique d'intégration de la capacité GC. L'examen empirique des relations hypothétiques entre les variables est réalisé au moyen de questionnaires de sondage en Arabie Saoudite. Pour l'étude pilote, 30 projets de questionnaires ont été distribués directement aux cadres supérieurs participants au forum « société Global Knowledge 2013 » qui a eu lieu au centre du Roi Abdulaziz pour la Culture Mondiale du groupe ARAMCO Arabie Saoudite, le 9-10 Décembre 2103. [...] / In the New Economy characterized by properties such as globalization, intangibility and inter-connectivity, educational organizations are required to overcome the new challenges, especially the changing nature of the enhanced dynamism and complexity of the requirements from the educational organizations. One of the current strategic philosophies assisting educational organizations to develop strategic capabilities dealing with uncertainty is knowledge management (KM). Through the systematic acquisition, creation, sharing, and use of knowledge, organizations develop, renew and exploit their knowledge-based resources, thereby allowing them to be proactive and adaptable to external changes and attain competitive success. Emerging as a powerful means for sustaining organizational competitiveness, KM has been widely investigated from different perspectives. However, only a limited number of researches have adopted the resource based view of the educational organizations to empirically examine the relationships between KM infrastructure and the different strategies for investing human assets. Meanwhile, research on KM approaches from a dynamic capability approach has been mostly conceptual in nature. It is proposed here that a failure to apply KM approaches may hinder the potentially valuable integrated contribution to organizational strategies for enhancing education of the major components that constitute KM approaches. In addition, a review of the literature shows that most empirical evidence has been obtained in the context of developed countries. The possibility that such models might be adopted in educational organizations to fit the specificities of the developing countries has received very little attention to date. Relying on social learning theory extended by the knowledge and dynamic capability based approaches, this research develops an integrative theoretical mode) of KM capability. Empirical examination of the hypothesized relationships among variables is conducted by means of questionnaire surveys in Saudi Arabia. For the pilot study, 30 draft questionnaires were directly distributed to senior managers participating in the Global Knowledge Society Forum 2013 took place in King Abdul Aziz Center for World Culture, ARAMCO Saudi Arabia, during the period of9-10 December 2103. The responses returned with complete data were assessed, using factor analysis and reliability testing, to refine and finalize the questionnaire administered in the main survey.

For this, the chosen research object was the Youth Choir of the Adventist Institute of Education of Santa Catarina. The reference used is based on the concept of community of practice, as proposed by Lave and Wenger (1991), from which the learning occurs from interactions between people who perform the same activity, the practice being primarily responsible for this learning. The work seeks to understand how the musical practice of students encompasses their past and current musical experiences. Then, the study devotes to understanding how social relations between members of the community of practice of the Youth Choir influence the musical development of the singers in order to exchange musical experiences that happen daily in that context. Finally, from the perspective of the interviewed students, the research reflects on musical and extra-musical learning experiences offered by the choir and how this learning occurs, from the social perspective. The results confirm the importance of social interactions as motivators and promoters of musical experiences that result in learning and development, and suggest the use of this resource in music education / Esta dissertação é uma pesquisa do tipo etnográfico que pretende compreender de que forma a interação social pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento e a aprendizagem musical dentro do coral jovem. Para tanto, o objeto de pesquisa escolhido foi o Coral Jovem do Instituto Adventista de Ensino de Santa Catarina (IAESC). O referencial utilizado baseia-se no conceito de comunidade de prática, como proposto por Lave e Wenger (1991), que postula que a aprendizagem acontece a partir das interações entre pessoas que desempenham uma mesma atividade, sendo a prática a principal responsável por esta aprendizagem. O trabalho procura compreender como a prática musical dos alunos contempla suas experiências anteriores bem como as atuais em música. Em seguida dedica-se a entender como as relações sociais entre os membros da comunidade de prática Coral Jovem do IAESC influenciam no desenvolvimento musical dos mesmos tendo em vista a troca de experiências musicais que acontece diariamente naquele contexto. Finalmente, a partir da perspectiva dos alunos entrevistados, reflete sobre as aprendizagens musicais e extra-musicais proporcionadas pela experiência coral e como esta aprendizagem acontece na perspectiva social. Os resultados confirmam a importância das interações sociais como incentivadoras e promotoras de experiências musicais que resultam na aprendizagem e desenvolvimento e sugerem a utilização deste recurso no processo educativo-musical

This master’s thesis aims to explore the practice of becoming a researcher and the learning process embedded in this activity by looking at the communicative practices of PhD students, within the context of academic publishing. It is likely that the way in which these soon-to-be researchers reason about the task of communication is related to their way of approaching their field of research as well as the lived world, which makes it relevant to explore further. The study was performed based two sets of data, first open-ended semi-structured interviews with eleven PhD students at Stockholm University, where they talk about their current situation, their motivations and goals and about how they plan to publish their dissertation. Secondly, an analysis of data about publications focusing on work by PhD students at Stockholm University between 2013–2016, and information about how the intended audience, i.e. the readers, have interacted with the published material. These two sets of data were analysed with the use of theories about personal epistemology, sociocultural learning and the rationality of actions. The study shows that the majority of the PhD students at Stockholm University publishes their research findings as scholarly articles in English. The conclusion is also that the publishing process can be understood as a pedagogical tool, as it provides a vehicle for the PhD students to immerse themselves in their community of practice. These findings suggest that it could be useful to further emphasise the publishing activity as a learning process that may lead to a deeper understanding of the role of the researcher in society. / Den här masteruppsatsen avser att utforska hur doktorander lär sig sitt framtida yrke, och hur de socialiseras till att bli forskare via de kommunikativa praktiker som de ägnar sig åt, dvs. akademisk publicering. Dessa kommunikativa praktiker torde vara kopplade till hur en forskare relaterar till sitt forskningsfält, men också sin omvärld, och företeelsen är därför intressant att ytterligare belysa. Studien är genomförd i två delar. Den första delen består av intervjumaterial från samtal med 11 doktorander vid Stockholms universitet. Den andra delen består av en analys av statistik om elektroniska publikationer av doktorander vid Stockholms universitet under perioden 2013–2016. Publikationerna sätts sedan i relation till data om hur läsekretsen har interagerat med publikationerna via olika media och citeringar. De två dataseten analyseras med hjälp av teorier om personlig epistemologi, sociokulturellt lärande och handlingsrationalitet. Slutsatserna är att de flesta doktorander vid Stockholms universitet väljer att publicera sig i vetenskapliga tidskrifter på engelska, och att dessa kommunikativa praktiker kan förstås som ett pedagogiskt verktyg när det gäller lärande om och förståelse för doktorandernas kontext eller gemenskap. Resultatet av studien indikerar att det kan vara meningsfullt att fokusera på publicering, eller liknande kommunikativa praktiker, som en användbar lärandeprocess när det gäller att förstå mer om forskarens roll i samhället.

This report, in which we have put an emphasis on the word communication, is based on a student software development project conducted during spring 2002. We describe how the use of design tools plays a key role in supporting communication in group activities and to what extent communication can be supported and enhanced by tools such as mock-ups and metaphors in a group project. We also describe a design progress from initial sketches to a final mock-up of a GUI for a postcard demo application. / I denna rapport, som baserar sig på ett studentprojekt utfört under våren 2002, har vi fokuserat på ordet kommunikation. Vi beskriver hur användande av designverktyg kan spela en nyckelroll när det gäller att stöda kommunikation i gruppaktiviteter och i vilken utsträckning kommunikation kan stödas och förstärkas av verktyg som mockuper och metaforer. Vi beskriver också en designprogress från initiala skisser till färdig mockup av ett grafiskt användargränssnitt för en demoapplikation av en vykortstjänst.

Numerous research on the development of knowledge and skills within health and social care has been undertaken; however, it can be argued that there is a need to understand the connection between inclusion and the development in knowledge and experience.  The purpose of this dissertation is to explore students’ experiences of the health and social care adult- education program, and participation and learning processes it represents.  The program is considered the formal route to acquire a position as a nursing assistant or health care assistant. Furthermore, the program can be seen as a combination of vocational training, and a measure to reduce unemployment. This empirical study is based on 15 in- depth interviews with students in the health and social care adult-education. These interviews are using a hermeneutic interpretation method, and draw on Lave and Wenger`s theory of learning. In addition to sociocultural theory according to Säljö. Findings indicate that the adult-education program in health and social care is not only a training process, but also a participation process. For the students, it is about gaining participation in the professional community, in Swedish society, and also about an existential safety in a social context. In order to gain participation, intellectual and physical artifacts, as well as personal qualities, are a prerequisite. Despite these requirements, and the challenges students face, the findings reveal that most students continue their studies. This finding leads to the idea that health and social care can be understood a discipline of inclusion. These findings assist the health and social care field in understanding the connection between said artifacts for inclusion in working life and society; in addition, that such programs should be understood from a wider perspective and viewed in relation to the tension between three educational projects: the students` individual project, the program organizer’s project and the national, societal education project.

La thèse traite des rapports entre documentations individuelle et communautaire des enseignants de mathématiques. L'étude est conduite sur deux terrains contrastés. Le premier est constitué d'une communauté institutionnelle : des enseignants de mathématiques d'un lycée, dont les classes sont simultanément équipées d'une technologie complexe ; le deuxième est constitué d'une communauté associative : un groupe de travail de l'association Sésamath engagé dans la conception d'un manuel numérique pour la classe de seconde. Dans les deux cas, l'étude s'intéresse plus particulièrement à l'enseignement de l'analyse, du fait de l'importance et de la complexité de ce domaine au niveau du lycée. La thèse propose des concepts (visions, monde du professeur, monde de la communauté) et des développements méthodologiques pour saisir les documentations individuelle et communautaire dans leur structure, leur dynamique et leurs interactions. Elle met en évidence, sur les deux terrains d'étude, des moments critiques de ces processus, les incidents documentaires, qui apparaissent à la fois comme des révélateurs et des accélérateurs. Elle montre enfin le potentiel qu'ont ces incidents pour le développement des articulations, globales ou locales, des documentations individuelles et communautaires / The present thesis treats the relation between the individual and community documentation of mathematics teachers. The study was carried out in two contrasting fields. The first field consists of an institutional community: mathematics teachers of a high school, whose classrooms are simultaneously equipped with complex technology; the second field consists of an associative community: a working group of Sésamath association that designs a digital Textbook for the grade 10. In the two cases, we are interested in the teaching of calculus, because of the importance and complexity of this mathematical field in high school. The thesis proposes new theoretical concepts (visions, teacher's world, and community world) and methodological developments to capture individual and community documentations in their structure, their dynamics and their interactions. It highlights, in the two fields of study, critical moments of these processes, documentary incidents, which appear as both revealing and accelerators. It demonstrates the potential these incidents have to develop articulations, global or local, between individual and community documentations

This paper addresses a new conceptual framework for a communitybased project management learning model that aims to support learning within a project and enhance the distribution of knowledge within a particular virtual community. This model also aims to develop a virtual community of doctoral students, who can manage their own projects online with other community members who have the same interest. In order to develop that model, a checklist of community-based project management process has been developed in the light of the literature review and the needs of stakeholders (doctoral students and researchers). Within this model, community-based project management includes three main elements: community, project and management. In relation to project, there are two main sub elements. First is projectbased learning (PBL), which is based on constructivist perspective of learning that make students construct their knowledge when they work together to accomplish specific goals. Second is the project management body of knowledge (PMBOK), which is a project management guide, and an internationally recognized standard [PMBOK Guide, 2004], that provides the fundamentals of project management as they apply to a wide range of projects, including construction, software, engineering, automotive, so the study deploy this approach to scaffold based project management learning model. In the terms of the community element, this study adopted the community of inquiry model, which defines a good e-learning environment through three major aspects: cognitive presence, social presence and teaching presence. The last element which is addressed in this study called knowledge management. After identifying these elements, this study investigates a range of tools in the light of this model. The study analyses six different learning and content management systems (OPAL, Moodle, Joomla, e107, ZMS and TUDWCMS) in order to find out tool(s) that is/are sufficient for implementing the suggested study model.

Im virtuellen Umfeld von Hochschulen ist in letzter Zeit zunehmend ein Phänomen zu beobachten, das für die Zukunft von Bildungseinrichtungen von maßgeblicher Bedeutung sein könnte. Die Rede ist von selbst gesteuerten Lerngemeinschaften, die das Internet nutzen, um sich gegenseitig bei der Bewältigung des Studiums zu unterstützen. (Auf von Lehrenden didaktisch inszenierte Blended Learning Kurse wird im Rahmen dieses Beitrags nicht eingegangen.)

This theoretical-empirical paper researches how simultaneous interpreters work with face threatening acts (FTAs). For this purpose we researched how FTAs that we identified in speeches given by native Spanish speakers at the European Parliament's plenary sittings are interpreted into Czech and English. This paper has been inspired by the study of Cédric Magnifico and Bart Defrancq from the University of Ghent "Impoliteness in Interpreting: A Question of Gender?" in which they carry out a similar research. In their study the authors research the simultaneous interpretation of French speeches given at the European Parliament's plenary sittings into English and Dutch in order to find out whether interpreters really engage in face work - by face work they mean mitigating (potential) FTAs. In this paper, however, we aimed at answering a more general research question: "How do simultaneous interpreters handle face threatening acts when interpreting at the European Parliament's plenaries?" Researching the interpretation of FTAs into two target languages, moreover, can show whether face work is influenced by the cultural norms used in the community of the target language. Even though some of our findings come close to those of Magnifico and Defrancq's, some are considerably different. Magnifico and...
