Orientador: Maria do Carmo Monteiro Kobayashi / Banca: Aline Sommerhalder / Banca: Rosa Maria Manzoni / Resumo: As práticas educativas em creche, por condicionamentos históricos e sociais, trazem, predominantemente, os traços do assistencialismo e do cuidar materno. Essas características tiram o foco sobre a necessidade de formação dos educadores, não atendem às exigências do cuidar e educar na Educação Infantil - EI, consequentemente, não possibilitam que tais práticas sejam planejadas, realizadas, avaliadas e voltadas ao pleno desenvolvimento biopsicossocial das crianças. Dessa forma, esta pesquisa parte do seguinte questionamento: Quais as características dos objetos lúdicos que permitem a elaboração de indicadores que orientem seus usos nas práticas de multiletramento nas creches? Para tanto, procurou-se criar indicadores de seleção, usos, registro e avaliação de objetos para os processos de multiletramento social em creche, por meio das múltiplas linguagens da arte e do brincar, a fim de orientar os educadores nas práticas educativas. A pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo, por meio de um estudo bibliográfico realizado nas bases de dados indexadas, verificou as produções científicas na área e correlatas ao tema do estudo, no período de 1990 a 2017; o estudo documental foi realizado na legislação e nas orientações nacionais que regem a EI. Buscando fazer a interlocução entre Educação, Arte e Linguagem, o levantamento mostrou a necessidade de estudos científicos que abarquem a primeiríssima infância. Os resultados orientaram quanto aos processos de letramento e usos dos objetos lúdicos, f...

These characteristics take focus on the need for training of educators, do not meet the demands of caring for and educate in Early Childhood Education, consequently, do not allow such practices to be planned, carried out, evaluated and aimed at the full biopsychosocial development of children. Thus, this research is based on the following question: What are the characteristics of play objects that allow the elaboration of indicators that guide their uses in the practice of multiletramento in day care centers? Therefore, we tried to create indicators of selection, use, registration and evaluation of objects for the processes of social multilearning in day care, through the multiple languages of art and play, in order to guide educators in educational practices. The qualitative research, through a bibliographic study carried out in the indexed databases, verified the scientific productions in the area and related to the theme of the study, from 1990 to 2017; the documentary study was carried out in the legislation and in the national guidelines governing the IE. Seeking to make the interlocution between Education, Art and Language, the survey showed the need for scientific studies that cover the very first childhood. The results guided the processes of literacy and use of play objects, focusing on materials for early childhood and ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Budget cuts for historic preservation and other humanities based projects are occurring on the federal, state, and local levels. Funding sources that historically supported these types of projects are being scaled back and eliminated. Given the current political trends, this situation will probably continue for the next several years. It is, therefore, imperative that funding sources are identified and solicited if current preservation efforts are to continue.This creative project is a funding source guidebook for historic preservation projects for the historic preservation constituency of South Dakota. This guidebook explains grants and the grant solicitation process, identifies potential funding sources and programs for historic preservation projects, and gives information about grant, funding source, and proposal writing. / Department of Architecture

The purpose of this study was to investigate the current programs in precollegiate instruction within the 463 Full- and Associate-member institutions of National Association of Schools of Music in the United States. A nation-wide survey was conducted in 1978-1979 to investigate the status of existing preparatory programs, and to develop an annotated directory, documenting this aspect of music enrichment opportunities for students in grades prekindergarten through twelve. The response rate was 89.4 percent.FindingsThe study revealed the following findings:1. Of the 463 NASM member institutions, 178 offer organized precollegiate instruction in music by the faculty of the school of music.2. Of these precollegiate programs, 60.6 percent are separately organized as a Preparatory Division.3. In one-third of the precollegiate programs, the administrative and developmental responsibilities are vested in a director other than the administrative head of the school of music.4. Over 45,000 students receive music enrichment through precollegiate programs in music at NASM member institutions.5. Over 60 percent of the precollegiate programs have an enrollment of one hundred or less.6. Nearly 80 percent of the institutions with precollegiate programs have experienced a five-year trend in enrollment gains.7. Of the ancillary course offerings, general musicianship is offered by slightly more than one-third of the precollegiate programs, followed by ensembles, prekindergarten programs, dance, and appreciation, respectively.8. In the institutions offering general musicianship, slightly more than one-third of the students are enrolled.9. While over 80 percent of the students receive private instruction, less than one-sixth are automatically assigned to a general musicianship class.10. In slightly more than one-fifth of the precollegiate programs, there is no extra tuition fee for the general musicianship class for students enrolled in private instruction.11. Piano, followed by voice, violin, guitar, and flute, respectively, represented the most frequently taught performance media.12. Some type of evaluative procedures are available at two-thirds of the precollegiate programs.13. Accelerated credit is available at 40 percent of the institutions.14. Less than one-fifth of the precollegiate programs have sufficiently structured evaluative procedures leading to a diploma or certificate.15. The financial support at nearly 90 percent of the institutions is by tuition alone.16. Less than 10 percent of the institutions are currently conducting research in precollegiate instruction. 17. Of the nearly one-third of the precollegiate programs that are the result of deliberate planning and organizing by the parent institution, 60 percent have originated since 1970.ConclusionsThe following conclusions are based' upon the findings of this study.1. Preparatory divisions may be found in any community regardless of geographic or demographic considerations, and in any parent institutions regardless of enrollment.2. Precollegiate instruction is limited where it does not have separate organization and a designated director other than the administrative head of the school of music in areas of program design, scope, publicity and financial development.3. Most preparatory divisions do not support a comprehensive music enrichment program. While they offer ancillary courses, their main thrust is private instruction.4. Adjunct faculty, hired solely in the preparatory division, decrease the likelihood of integrated activities with the collegiate faculty of the parent institution.5. Historically, most preparatory divisions originated as a conservatory, or as the result of deliberate planning and organizing. The growth trend in the field of preparatory programs is evidenced by the nearly 20 percent of the 178 parent institutions which have organized division division since 1970.6. Tuition fees generate the operational funds for the preparatory division in most institutions, although facilities and equipment are provided by the parent institution.Recommendations. Recommendations for program development and improvement include:1. A statement of philosophy and objectives for an organized preparatory division must be determined by administrators, from which operational procedures will be developed to determine the scope of the program.2. The designated director should receive load allocation in proportion for administrative and developmental responsibilities.3. Sources of funding should be sought for specific programming for ethnic groups within the community.4. A program structure which leads to a recognition of program completion, provides opportunity for ancillary course requirements. Performance levels and evaluative procedures would provide checks both for the teacher and parent on the progress and achievement of the student.5. The preparatory division personnel must continuously analyze and evaluate all components of the program. Lines of communication between adjunct and full-time faculty are a vital link in constructive program growth.

Private schools have frequently provided innovative, experimental, and creative program unavailable to students in the public system. The most successful have survived and expanded by offering an educational experience widely perceived to be not just as good as that available in the public system, but better. In Canada, private schools are enjoying an unprecedented popularity and while most are day-only, over sixty sustain boarding programs, as do two off-shore Canadian schools. The Handbook of Canadian Boarding Schools presents information on the educational environment of each province,then offers comparative information on each boarding school. The information on each school includes: basic data, location, history, philosophy, the campus, boarding facilities, health and safety, administration and faculty, student body and student conduct, academic calendar and program, information technology, student activities and student conduct, admission and costs. The Handbook also supplies several appendices outlining important programs often available through boarding schools, such as Advanced Placement courses and the International Baccalaureate. For parents in Canada and abroad about to commit substantial sums to their children''s education, the Handbook of Canadian Boarding Schools is an essential tool to help them make the right decision. It is also an indispensable resource for supporters of the public system looking for ideas that have worked elsewhere. / Ashley Thomson, a faculty member in the J.N.
