The diploma thesis deals with the education of pupils with specific learning disabilities. The theoretical part deals with the definitions of specific learning disabilities, the needs of students and the possibilities of re-education of individual disorders. There are defined degrees and types of support, legislation that regulates the education of students with special needs, but also other opportunities for their education. The practical part deals with case studies or observations of students with SPU, then a questionnaire survey, which seeks to answer the question of how teachers worked with students with SPU at the time of distance learning, whether they succeeded educational goals and also with what difficulties pupils struggled. The questionnaire survey is supplemented by structured interviews with teachers who participated in the education of students during distance learning.

Este trabalho investiga o olhar dos tutores de sede sobre o impacto de suas intervenções sobre a construção de conhecimento das alunas-professoras de um curso de pedagogia a distância. A metodologia de pesquisa foi inspirada no método clínico piagetiano e a fundamentação teórica é a Epistemologia Genética. A coleta de dados foi realizada em dois momentos distintos. No primeiro momento foi realizada uma entrevista através do MSN, tendo um roteiro com sete questionamentos e no segundo momento um questionário composto de três perguntas enviado para os sujeitos através do correio eletrônico. A entrevista aborda questões sobre a construção de conhecimento, sobre a avaliação e a sua função de tutor. O questionário trabalha com a ideia das intervenções e suas relações com a construção de conhecimento das alunas-professoras. A contribuição do tutor nas aprendizagens das alunasprofessoras do PEAD foi analisada a partir de suas noções sobre a construção de conhecimento, da avaliação como um momento de aprendizagem e do impacto de suas intervenções. Foi possível verificar que os tutores compreendem que a sua atuação tem relação direta com a construção de conhecimento das alunas-professoras. / This thesis examines the perspective of headquarters’ tutors on the impact of their interventions on knowledge building of students-teachers in a distance learning course on pedagogy. The research methodology was inspired by Piagetian clinical method and Genetic Epistemology was adopted as theoretical framework. Data collection was developed at two different times. Initially, an interview was conducted through MSN, guided by a script with seven questions. Secondly, a survey containing three questions was sent to participants via email. The interview addresses issues on knowledge building, evaluation and the role of tutor. The survey explores the idea of interventions and the relationship between these and knowledge building of students-teachers. Data collected were analyzed from the following topics: knowledge building, evaluation as a privileged moment of learning and the impact of tutors’ interventions. The tutor contribution in the students-teachers PEAD learning was analyzed based on their construction knowledge notions, the evaluation as a learning moment and the impact of their interventions. It was possible verify that the tutors understand that their performance is directly related to the students-teachers construction knowledge.

An exploratory, descriptive design in the phenomenological approach was used to describe and explore how student tutors' experienced the process of evaluation of their clinical teaching in a specific distance-learning programme. The researcher conducted a tape-recorded focus group interview with seven participants who voluntarily agreed to participate. After transcription, the data was analysed using Tesch's (1992:92) method of analysis to code the data into themes in order to identify commonalities. The findings of this study indicated that participants experienced the evaluation process positively and negatively. The negative experiences included difficulty in obtaining access to evaluators, practica facilities, and inconsistencies of evaluators. Recommendations were made for improving evaluation of teaching skills of student tutors in this distance programme. / Health Studies / M. A. (Health Studies)
