O objetivo do presente trabalho é investigar a formação específica para atuar em manutenção industrial dos alunos das escolas técnicas profissionais de nível médio do Brasil e do Chile, identificar suas articulações com as políticas públicas de educação e se essa formação propicia o desenvolvimento de competências e habilidades para atuação profissional no mercado de trabalho de manutenção industrial. Para tal, apoiado nas ideias de Druker, Senge, Enguita, Ferretti, Rifkin, Dowbor, Godim, Bridges, Saviani, Hargreaves, Valente, Castells, SINGER, Harvey, entre outros, estabeleceu-se a base teórica da pesquisa, para subsidiar as análises das legislações educacionais de cada país, as pesquisas de campo junto aos recrutadores e selecionadores de mão de obra e aos egressos de cursos profissionais técnicos de nível médio dos dois países. O desenvolvimento da metodologia foi baseado na pesquisa qualitativa, com ênfase na análise documental e fonte de dados os documentos oficiais dos ministérios da educação para a construção da etapa de pesquisa formação, bem como na pesquisa quantitativa que analisou os dados da coleta de campo junto aos recrutadores de mão de obra constituindo a etapa de pesquisa mercado de trabalho. Articulado às duas etapas, a investigação de campo também englobou os egressos de cursos técnicos de nível médio. As respostas alcançadas pelo estudo indicam que os governos buscam propiciar a formação dos alunos nos preceitos de competências e habilidades para atuar no mercado de trabalho de manutenção industrial, assim como os egressos informam que no curso realizado tais competências e habilidades foram alcançadas, porém os recrutadores de mão de obra questionam a formação educacional dos candidatos em relação às demandas do mercado. Esta incompatibilidade de respostas mostra haver um hiato entre a formação educacional e o mercado de trabalho talvez provocado pela demora da implementação de ações educacionais face à rápida mobilidade desse mercado. Aspectos importantes ressaltaram das conclusões: Brasil e Chile mostram características diferentes em relação ao desenvolvimento da educação profissional voltada ao segmento de mecânica industrial, pois no Chile observa-se rigidez estrutural da matriz curricular, enquanto o Brasil há aspectos indicativos de uma flexibilização e abertura para o acesso em diferentes momentos para quem não cursou as séries escolares nas idades previstas e integrou os programas de formação profissional inicial com a educação de jovens e adultos. Tal fato é visto como correção de uma distorção histórica da educação profissional, mas é uma maneira de recuperar o tempo perdido e alcançar índices que o referencie junto a outros países. A educação profissional estudada tanto no Brasil como no Chile permanecem engessadas pelas políticas governamentais. / The aim of this work is to investigate the specific development required for technical school students applying for work in industrial maintenance in Brazil and Chile, identify its relationship with public educational policies and verify whether it provides the development of competencies and skills for professional performance in the industrial maintenance market. Based on the ideas of Druker, Senge, Enguita, Ferretti, Rifkin, Dowbor, Godim, Bridges, Saviani, Hargreaves, Valente, Castells, Singer, Harvey, among others, the theoretical basis of this research was established to support the analysis between the educational laws of each country, the field work with recruiters, job interviewers, and those who finish technical courses at high school level in both countries. Methodology development was based on qualitative research with emphasis on documental analysis using the official documents from Educational departments as data sources to build the steps of legislation-development goals, and on quantitative research that analyzed the field data collected with the labor recruiter to build the labor market goals. Coupled with these two goals, the field research also encompassed the students finishing technical courses at high school level. The answers gathered in this study indicate that governments are seeking to provide students development under the principles of competencies and skills in order to perform in the market of industrial maintenance labor. In the same way, students themselves claim such competencies and skills were achieved in the attended course, but the workforce recruiters doubt the applicants educational development meets the markets requirements. This incongruence in the answers shows there is a gap between educational development and the labor market, perhaps due to the delay in implementing educational actions to face this rapidly evolving market. Some important aspects raised from the conclusions: Brazil and Chile reveal different characteristics regarding the improvement of professional development oriented to industrial mechanics because, in Chile, a rigid, structured curricular frame was observed, whereas in Brazil there are indications of some flexibility and openness to allow access to those who did not go to Primary schools at the expected ages and went to adult education programs for their initial technical education. Such a fact is seen as a correction for a historic misconception of technical education, and a means to recover wasted time and try to achieve indicators that would bring the country to the same level as others.

Mgr. Sarah Asfour Vedoucí práce: PhDr. Michaela Tureckiová, CSc. Studijní program: Specializace v pedagogice Studijní obor: Andragogika a management vzdělávání ABSTRACT This diploma thesis deals with lifelong education - adult education in formal, non-formal and informal education. The diploma thesis discusses about the concept of lifelong learning and the effect of education in the life of an individual. The aim is to briefly compare and evaluate lifelong learning opportunities with an emphasis on non-formal education, more specifically on retraining courses. In the diploma thesis, I deal with the strategic management of retraining courses in the field of non-formal education as well as the possibilities of innovation of the courses mentioned. The thesis is divided into two parts, namely the theoretical part and practical part. In the theoretical part, there are discussed in more detail the conditions for obtaining accreditation for organizers of retraining courses, conditions and possibilities of support for applicants for the retraining course by the Labour Office of the Czech Republic, there is discussed the advantages for employers to support their employees in non-formal education. The diploma thesis is devoted to the strategic management and planning of education, including the importance of...

Low graduation rates are a significant issue for colleges. The majority of higher education institutions in the United States offer learning communities (LCs), which have been found to be effective for improving course success and persisting to the next semester. However, there is a gap in the literature regarding the effectiveness of LCs with different types of populations and different types of LCs. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to identify the most effective types of LCs. Research questions addressed the effects of different types of LCs on different student success outcomes for community colleges. The study was based on Tinto's interactionist model of student departure and Astin's model of student involvement. Studies examining the relationship between student success and participation in college LCs provided the data for the meta-analysis. A random effects model was used to generate the average effect size for 39 studies and 50 individual effect sizes. The results showed that LCs are most effective with community college students when they include additional support strategies, counseling is available to students, one of the linked courses is an academic skills course, at least one of the linked course is developmental, and the focus is on increasing course success or student engagement. The implications for positive social change suggest that LC programs implement two linked courses, include an academic skills course, focus on developmental courses, and provide access to a counselor and additional student support strategies. In addition, LC programs are most effective when the goals of the program are student engagement and course success.

The objective of the thesis was twofold. Firstly, to map the situation in one-year post- secondary courses of English organised by private language schools in the Czech Republic and to recommend teaching methods and materials suitable for the given age group and the aims of the courses. Secondly, to outline the legislation regulating this form of study and in view of the recent legislative changes to compile a set of arguments for preserving the student status for the course participants. The first part of the thesis summarizes the lingvodidactic principles of teaching English as a foreign language with respect to the specific characteristics of learners between 19 and 22 years of age. It also presents a brief overview of the historical development of teaching methods as a background to the methodology applicable to post-secondary courses and provides a basis for textbook evaluation and selection. In the empirical part of the thesis the organization of post-secondary courses at three private language schools was contrasted and two sets of questionnaires completed by their students were analysed. Based on the conclusions drawn in the theoretical background as well as on the output of the questionnaires the contemporary approach of principled eclecticism was recommended as the most suitable...

Essa pesquisa, do tipo estudo de caso, pretende mostrar que a expansão das oportunidades educacionais em relação ao ensino de 2 Grau, não significou uma democratização dessa escola, na medida em que o professor, coerente com o modelo conservador da sociedade em que vive, desenvolve a sua prática de avaliação orientando-se por critérios que caracterizam a avaliação domesticadora. Tomando por base alguns conceitos próprios ao campo da avaliação, presentes nos documentos legais e nos textos de alguns autores, notadamente nos de Luckesi, faz-se uma descrição e contextualização da prática dos professores de duas turmas da primeira série de uma escola oficial de 2 Grau, uma diurna e a outra noturna, quando se tenta explicitar as contradições presentes no cotidiano dessa escola, no que se refere à prática da avaliação. Chega-se à conclusão que os professores, distanciando a sua prática da concepção teórica sobre o processo de avaliação, priorizam a função classificatória, em detrimento da função diagnóstica que tem o objetivo de auxiliar o avanço e o crescimento do aluno. Evidencia-se a necessidade de se propor aos professores um estudo e reformulação de alguns aspectos, notadamente aqueles ligados à seleção dos conhecimentos a serem transmitidos aos alunos e à própria essência do processo de avaliação. Isso significaria transformar o acesso ao ensino de 2 Grau em acesso real a aprendizagem socialmente significativas. / This research, of the case-study type, aims at showing that the expansion of the educational opportunities in relation to the teaching in the High School Courses did not mean a democratization of this school insofar as the teacher, coherent to the conservative model existing in the society we live in, develops his evaluation practice guided by criteria which characterize the domesticating evaluation system. Taking as a basis some concepts proper to the field of evaluation, present in the legal documents and in the texts of some authors, specially in those of Luckesis, we make a description and a contextualization of the practice of the teachers of two classes of the tenth grade of an official school one a day-time class, the other a night-school class when we try to explicit the contradictions present in the daily routine of this school concerning the practice of evaluation. We conclude that the teachers diverting their practice from the theoretical contextualization on the process of evaluation priorize the classificatory function in detriment to the function of diagnosis whose objective is to foster the advancement and growth of the student. We point out the need to propose to the teachers the study and reformulation of some evaluation aspects specially those connected with the selection of the knowledge to be transmitted to the students and the proper essence of the evaluation process. This would mean transferring the access to the teaching of the High School Course in the real access to learnings which are socially significative.

We used as a research method discursive textual analysis aimed at fragmenting documents examined in units of analysis, relations between units in the categorization process and build a new text that presents the new understandings of the phenomenon studied. We question whether, in the documents, the relationships and interactions established enable or provide a training that includes the current guidelines for teacher training. Identified positivist conceptions about the vision of science, lack of clarity regarding the professional profile to be formed and found the identity crisis of the university when you try to justify their actions relating to the needs of the labor market. We analyze the contradictions in relation to issues of interdisciplinarity, training by research and through use of information technology and communication.We study in detail the PPC in Chemistry Teachers Training Courses, re-designed our views and we give as a subject/researcher/teacher in a process of continuing education teacher's own trainer. This change enabled us to participate in the drafting of a new PPC seeking help to produce a document that had minimized the contradictions perceived by us on other PPC. We therefore propose that the conscious participation in the construction and preparation of PPC requires the understanding of the intentions of which are governed these documents constituted as drivers of the paths chosen for the implementation of the pedagogical and identity of a stroke / Com o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa buscamos investigar as relações e interações entre os elementos constituintes dos projetos pedagógicos de cursos (PPC) de Licenciatura em Química no estado de Goiás. Utilizamos como método de pesquisa a análise textual discursiva que visa fragmentar os documentos analisados em unidades de análise, estabelecer relações entre as unidades no processo de categorização e construir um novo texto em que são apresentadas as novas compreensões do fenômeno estudado. Questionamos se, nos documentos, as relações e interações estabelecidas possibilitam ou proporcionam uma formação profissional que contemple as diretrizes atuais para a formação de professores. Identificamos concepções positivistas sobre a visão de ciência, falta de clareza em relação ao perfil do profissional a ser formado e constatamos a crise de identidade pela qual passa a universidade brasileira quando tenta justificar suas ações relacionando-as às necessidades do mercado de trabalho. Analisamos as contradições presentes em relação às questões da interdisciplinaridade, formação pela pesquisa e uso das tecnologias da informação e comunicação. Ao estudarmos de maneira detalhada os PPC de Licenciaturas em Química, reelaboramos nossas concepções e nos constituímos como sujeito/ pesquisador/professor em um processo de formação continuada do próprio professor formador. Essa mudança nos possibilitou a participação na elaboração de um novo PPC contribuindo para a elaboração de um documento que tivesse minimizadas as contradições por nós percebidas em outros PPC. Nesse contexto, propomos que a participação consciente na construção e elaboração do PPC demanda a compreensão sobre as intencionalidades nas quais se pautam esses documentos que se constituem enquanto direcionadores dos caminhos escolhidos para a concretização da proposta pedagógica e da identidade de um curso

The formation of teachers is one of the greatest challenges imposed on the education, not only for the Mathematics; and it has been object of researches, studies and reflections for the researchers who intend to understand the initial and continuing professional development paths. Simultaneously, it is supported the idea that the initial formation process must give enough theoretical and practical knowledge so that the future teacher can work properly in the social context in which he or she is nested. Being a teacher requires being prepared to face different everyday situations and understanding its social context, besides contributing to the development of the students’ citizenship. Based on this, the following question arose: what contributions do the Human Science bring for the initial formation of the Mathematics teachers, and how do these contributions are realized on Licenciature classroom courses? The aim of this research is to understand how prepared the Mathematics graduated teachers are, discussing how the Human Science can contribute (as knowledge and courses area) for the qualification of the teacher. Therefore, investigations about the opinions and views of the coordinators, the professors who teach the last year of the graduation, and the almost graduated students of the Mathematics classroom course, in the west of Paraná, were made. This research is based on the theories of researchers who research the teacher’s formation, mainly the formation of the Mathematics teacher. It is also based on the legal principles that direct the teacher’s formation in Brazil; and has historical information about Human Science and its contributions for the human being. The qualitative and quantitative methods of researching are the ones present in this research, for the writing strategies and for analyzing the data.

For the field research, the coordinators and professors of the course answered a semi structured interview, and the students answered a questionnaire. The results obtained show that it is necessary to implement a new structure on this course, so it become possible to have Human Science contents implemented in the courses of the graduation and in the acting of the professors. Another result gotten is related to the dichotomy between the areas known as Pure Mathematic and Education Mathematic, what could be realized on the interviewees’ speech and can be found in the literature, a fact that seems to be kept year after year in the courses. In order to improve the current reality mentioned, we suggest to propose training the Mathematic teachers for a great and continuing formation, which includes a better humanized teaching of the Exact Science, using methodologies that allows to integrate and promote courses of specific subjects so that reflections about human relations, social relations and citizenship improvement can be taught together with. It would result on the development and improvement of the abilities the college students need in order to reflect about “being a teacher”, what aims to get prepared to work at the educational system, since our acting influence others and include responsibility and citizenship aspects on the process of teaching people of different generations.

O rápido desenvolvimento da tecnologia da informação traz oportunidades para área da educação, colocando a educação a distância e aprendizagem online como opções para o modelo tradicional, sobretudo os Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), os quais, no contexto do movimento de educação aberta, são apresentados como meio para aumentar o acesso e a qualidade da educação, proporcionando redução dos custos e da desigualdade educacional, sobretudo nos países em desenvolvimento. A revisão sistemática de 74 artigos evidenciou que as IES estão incorporando os MOOCs às suas práticas - em parte, produzindo seus próprios MOOCs, mas também os integrando a seus currículos, tanto para revisar conteúdo do Ensino Médio com alunos ingressantes no Ensino Superior quanto para melhorar seus cursos.Assim, considerando que as pesquisas que avaliam a incorporação dos MOOCs aos currículos das IES investigam, sobretudo, o desempenho e o nível de satisfação dos alunos, o objetivo principal desse estudo foi compreender como os MOOCs estão sendo incorporados aos cursos presenciais de graduação e qual o valor funcional percebido pelos alunos com relação a essa prática. Para tal, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura e um estudo de caso de caráter exploratório e descritivo, que integra os enfoques qualitativo e quantitativo. A unidade de análise do estudo de caso foi a disciplina de Fundamentos de Administração, lecionada no primeiro ano do curso bacharelado em Administração, e quatro fontes de evidências foram utilizadas: documentos sobre o MOOC, documentação sobre a disciplina que utilizou o MOOC, entrevistas com o Chefe de Departamento e os professores responsáveis pela disciplina e levantamento (survey) com 101 alunos. As evidências obtidas nas etapas de investigação documental e entrevistas foram analisadas baseando-se nas questões de pesquisas, enquanto o levantamento com os alunos valeu-se da técnica de análise estatística de modelagem de equações estruturais, utilizando o software R. Os resultados do estudo permitiram identificar que, assim como sugerido pela literatura, o MOOC foi utilizado como recurso online no método blended learning em uma disciplina introdutória e substituindo parte da carga horária presencial, possibilitando o aumento do número de alunos por professor, além de tornar a disciplina mais atrativa para o alunado. Além disso, que o MOOC foi usado como recurso online para apresentação do conteúdo, enquanto os exercícios de fixação, as avaliações e as atividades complementares foram desenvolvidos pelos professores. As hipóteses propostas no estudo foram validadas: valor funcional percebido tem efeito positivo (r=0,801) na intenção de recompra (R2=64,15%), a qualidade percebida com relação ao processo de blended learning e a qualidade percebida com relação ao MOOC têm efeitos positivos (r=0,22e r=0,2929, respectivamente) no valor funcional percebido pelo aluno (R2=20,46%); a preferência e autodisciplina para realização de cursos a distância têm efeito positivo na qualidade percebida com relação ao processo de blended learning (r=0,2636 e R2=6,95%) e com relação ao MOOC (r=0,347 e R2=12,04%). Conclui-se que o valor funcional percebido pelo aluno é favorável, com escore de 4,53 (escala de 7 pontos), e é influenciado pela qualidade percebida com relação ao MOOC e ao processo de blended learning. / The rapid development of information technology brings opportunities for education, putting distance education and online learning as options for the traditional model of education, especially the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which in the context of the open education are presented as a means to increase access and quality of education, proportionate educational costs and inequality, especially in developing countries. The systematic review of 74 articles showed that HEIs are incorporating MOOCs into their practices. In part, by producing their own MOOCs, but also integrating them into their curricula, both to revise high school content with incoming higher education students and to improve their courses. Thus, considering that research evaluating the incorporation of MOOCs into The main objectives of this study were to understand how the MOOCs are being incorporated into undergraduate courses and what functional value students perceive in relation to this practice. For such, a systematic review of the literature and an exploratory and descriptive case study were carried out, integrating the qualitative and quantitative approaches. The unit of analysis of the case study was the Fundamentals of Administration discipline taught in the first year of the baccalaureate course in Administration and four sources of evidence were used: documents about the MOOC, documentation about the discipline that used the MOOC, interviews with teachers responsible for discipline and survey with the students. The evidence obtained in the documentary analysis and interviews were analyzed based on the research questions while the student lifting was based on the technique of statistical analysis modeling of structural equations using software R. The results of the study allowed to identify, that as suggested by the literature, the MOOC was used as an online resource in the blendedlearning method in an introductory discipline and replacing part of the classroom workload, making it possible to increase the number of students per teacher, in addition to making the course more attractive for the student. The MOOC was used as an online resource for content presentation, while the attachment exercises, assessments, and complementary activities were developed by teachers. The hypotheses proposed in the study were validated: perceived functional value has a positive effect (r = 0.801) on the intention to buy back (R2 = 64.15%), the quality perceived in relation to the blended learning process and perceived quality in relation to the MOOC have positive effects (r = 0.22 and r = 0.2929, respectively) on the functional value perceived by the student (R2 = 20.46%); (r = 0.2636 and R2 = 6.95%) and in relation to the MOOC (r = 0.347 and R 2 = 12), the preference and self-discipline for distance courses have a positive effect on the perceived quality of the blended learning process , 04%).It is concluded that the functional value perceived by the student is favorable, obtaining a score of 4.53 on a 7-point scale, and that this is influenced by the perceived quality in relation to the MOOC and in relation to the process of blended learning.

To improve online learning pedagogy within the field of paralegal education, this study investigated how paralegal students and paralegal instructors perceived the effectiveness of synchronous and asynchronous online paralegal courses. Survey results were analyzed using independent samples t-test and correlational analysis, and indicated that overall, paralegal students and paralegal instructors positively perceived synchronous and asynchronous online paralegal courses. Paralegal instructors reported statistically significant higher perceptions than paralegal students: (1) of instructional design and course content in synchronous online paralegal courses; and (2) of technical assistance, communication, and course content in asynchronous online paralegal courses. Instructors also reported higher perceptions of the effectiveness of universal design, online instructional design, and course content in synchronous online paralegal courses than in asynchronous online paralegal courses. Paralegal students reported higher perceptions of asynchronous online paralegal course effectiveness regarding universal design than paralegal instructors. No statistically significant differences existed between paralegal students' perceptions of the effectiveness of synchronous and asynchronous online paralegal courses. A strong, negative relationship existed between paralegal students' age and their perceptions of effective synchronous paralegal courses, which were statistically and practically significant. Statistically significant relationships existed between paralegal instructors' perceptions of effective synchronous online paralegal course and the number of courses taught by the paralegal instructor. Lastly, this study provided practical applicability and opportunities for future research.
