Há também os que buscam ingressar no ensino superior por meio do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) e utilizam esta modalidade de ensino para complementar os estudos, objetivando sanar lacunas deixadas pela formação escolar. O ENEM é composto por questões objetivas (subdivididas em 4 grandes áreas: Linguagens e Códigos; Matemática; Ciências Humanas; e Ciências Naturais) e a questão subjetiva (redação). Segundo dados do Ministério da Educação (MEC), mais de 50% dos candidatos que fizeram a prova do ENEM em 2014 obtiveram desempenho abaixo de 500 pontos na redação. Esta pesquisa utilizará recomendações pedagógicas baseadas no gênero textual utilizado pelo ENEM, visando prover uma melhoria na escrita da redação dissertativa. Para tanto, foi utilizado, como ferramenta experimental, o ambiente online de aprendizagem MeuTutor. O ambiente possui um módulo de escrita de redação, no qual é utilizada para correção dos textos elaborados pelos alunos, a metodologia de avaliação por pares, cujo pesquisas mostram que os resultados avaliativos são significativos e bastante similares aos obtidos por professores especialistas. Entretanto, apenas apresentar a pontuação da redação por si só, não garante a melhora da produção textual do aluno avaliado. Desta forma, visando um ganho em performance na produção da redação, foi adicionado ao MeuTutor um módulo de recomendação pedagógica baseado em 19 perfis resultados do uso de algoritmos de mineração de dados (DBScan e Kmeans) nos microdados do ENEM 2012 disponibilizado pelo MEC. Estes perfis foram agrupados em 6 blocos que possuíam um conjunto de tarefas nas áreas de escrita, gramática e coerências e concordância textual. A validação destas recomendações foi feita em um experimento de 3 ciclos, onde em cada ciclo o aluno: escreve a redação; avalia os seus pares; realiza a recomendação pedagógica que foi recebida. A partir da análise estatística destes dados, foi possível constatar que o modelo estratégico de recomendação utilizado nesta pesquisa, possibilitou um ganho mensurável na qualidade da produção textual. / Online education has grown significantly in recent years throughout the world, becoming a viable option for those who don’t have the time to pursuit traditional technical training or academic degree. In Brazil, people seek to enter higher education through the National Secondary Education Examination (ENEM) and use online education to complement their studies, aiming to remedy gaps in their school formation. The ENEM consists of objective questions (divided into 4 main areas: languages and codes; Mathematics; Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences), and the subjective questions (the essay). According to the Brazilian Department of Education (MEC), more than 50% of the candidates who took the test (ENEM) in 2014, obtained performance below 500 points (out of a 1000 maximum points) for their essays. This research uses educational recommendations based on the five official correction criteria for the ENEM essays, to improve writing. Thus, this research used an experimental tool in an online learning environment called MeuTutor. The mentioned learning environment has an essay writing/correction module. The correction module uses peer evaluation techniques, for which researches show that the results are, significantly, similar to those obtained by specialists’ correction. However, to simply display the scores for the criteria does not guarantee an improvement in students’ writing. Thus, to promote that, an educational recommendation module was added to MeuTutor. It is based on 19 profiles obtained mining data from the 2012 ENEM. It uses the algorithms DBSCAN and K-Means, and grouped the profiles into six blocks, to which a set of tasks were associated to the areas of writing, grammar and coherence, and textual agreement. The validation of these recommendations was made in an experiment with three cycles, where students should: (1) write the essay; (2) evaluate their peers; (3) perform the pedagogical recommendations received. From the analysis of these data, it was found that the strategic model of recommendation used in this study, enabled a measurable gain in quality of textual production.

The research aims to analyze textualization regarding communication practices between tutors and distance learning students. Specifically the research aims to verify if the educational forum is considered pertinent for knowledge construction as well as identify subject?s behavior in e-Proinfo environment. The research also aims to understand the dynamics of the teaching and learning techniques related to the forum?s printed material. This is done in order to acknowledge discourse on behalf of subjects through the presented educational assignments. In order to address the issue, the work dealt with the relations present in distance learning forums, the forms in which the assignments are made, the way social actors interact and how this debate happens in the virtual environment. The research emphasized an educational forum used in a higher education institution at Rio Grande do Norte/Brazil. Thus the research corpus is composed by messages that were posted in the forum in the module called computer material . This module is one of the last in a set of six modules that are part of The Basic Cycle for Media Training promoted by the Center for Distance Learning in a public university at Rio Grande do Norte/Brazil. The research deals with a qualitative type approach in the perspectives of Merriam (1988), Cresswell (1994) and Minayo (1996). In order to achieve this analysis, the research dealt with theoretical landmarks related to distance learning present in (Silva, 2008; Brait, 1993; Sperbe and Wilson, 1986; Marquesi and Elias 2008 as well as Xavier, 2005, amongst others. As for aspects related to media and technological perspectives present in the forum, the research dealt with (Baranov, 1989; Neuner, 1981; Kearsley and Moore, 1996). Textualization was dealt according to (Marcuschi, 2008; Costa Val, 2004) and the conceptions and functions regarding tutors was seen according to (Salgado, 2002). In the conclusion and recommendations it was seen that these discussions present relevant contributions to distance learning and go beyond the practical universe present in electronical interaction. In the final considerations it is pointed out that this research is relevant for areas such as applied linguistics and presents guidelines for those involved in continuous education and aim meaningful knowledge that is coherent with distance learning education / Esta pesquisa tem como tema o ambiente de textualiza??o no ensino a dist?ncia, com foco no f?rum educacional utilizado por uma institui??o de ensino superior do Rio Grande do Norte, tendo como objetivo geral analisar a intera??o que se estabelece entre tutor e cursistas e suas implica??es para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Outros objetivos, mais espec?ficos, foram tamb?m considerados, tais como: verificar a pertin?ncia do f?rum educacional para a constru??o do conhecimento no ensino a dist?ncia, entender as fun??es dos pap?is desses sujeitos no e-Proinfo e, ainda, identificar na constru??o discursiva dos sujeitos frente ?s tarefas agendadas como ocorre a aprendizagem nesse ambiente. Para explorar o tema, tomamos por base uma problem?tica que interroga, sobretudo, em rela??o aos modos de intera??o no f?rum, como os temas s?o postos na discuss?o, como os atores sociais dialogam entre si e como ocorre o debate no ambiente virtual em fun??o da aprendizagem. O corpus comp?ese de mensagens postadas no f?rum durante o m?dulo Material Inform?tica , ?ltimo dos seis que integram o Ciclo B?sico do Programa de Forma??o M?dias na Educa??o, promovido pelo N?cleo de Educa??o a Dist?ncia (NEAD). A pesquisa caracteriza-se como uma abordagem qualitativa, na perspectiva de Merriam (1988), Cresswell (1994) e Minayo (1996) e situa-se no ?mbito da Lingu?stica Aplicada, tendo em vista que aborda quest?es que dizem respeito ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem em ambientes virtuais. Para a an?lise, recorremos a aspectos te?ricos referentes ao ensino a dist?ncia em autores como Silva (2008), Brait (1993), Sperbe e Wilson (1986), Marquesi e Elias (2008), Xavier (2005), entre outros. Com rela??o ?s m?dias e ?s perspectivas das tecnologias aplicadas ao f?rum, recorremos a Baranov (1989), Neuner (1981), Kearsley e Moore (1996); ao ambiente de textualiza??o Marcuschi, (2008), Costa Val (2004), assim como ?s concep??es e fun??es do tutor encontradas em Salgado (2002). Nos resultados, percebemos que a intera??o tutor-cursista fica comprometida pelo apagamento da tutora, que muitas vezes, se posiciona apenas como propositora do t?pico sem participar das discuss?es para o aprofundamento e fechamento avaliativo do conte?do sugerido, prejudicando assim a aprendizagem. Observamos tamb?m a aus?ncia de uma progress?o t?pica realizada pelos cursistas devido a falta de orienta??o e reorienta??o das quest?es discutidas, bem como pelo distanciamento da postagem de uma mensagem a outra. Desse modo, consideramos pertinente a participa??o dos cursistas e tutores de forma mais efetiva no espa?o interacional com vistas ? constru??o de novos saberes para a aprendizagem em ambientes de EaD

This study presents a model for the organization of educational content customized for environments of individual studies. For many students the availability of content in general form can not be efficient. It proposed a multilevel structure of concepts to provide the development of different combinations to show the same content. The work shows that it is possible to customize the content in order to encourage other students with the use of proximal learning standards. These patterns are obtained from the analysis of the action of students with positive results in the individual organization of the content. The formal representation establishes the definition of the student profile, multi-level content, the distribution plan of correction of concepts and teaching career. The structure of the trajectory of student teaching is formally established by the method of finite differences. The system uses artificial intelligence techniques to organize and personalize content reactively. Customization is provided by an artificial neural network that enables the classification of the student profile and assign that profile to a standard proximal learning. To mediate and adjust the contents of a reactive system was inserted into a set of rules from experts in teaching. The experiment showed the applicability and appropriateness of the proposed model. The results indicated the suitability of the approach by automating the organization\'s custom content so adaptive and reactive. The intelligent system to establish the structure of the custom content to be presented was considered efficient, giving the student a better use of the content, with higher and lower final average study time and content presented. / Este trabalho apresenta uma modelagem para a organização personalizada de conteúdos didáticos para ambientes de estudos individuais. Para muitos estudantes a disponibilização do conteúdo em formato generalizado pode não ser eficiente. É proposta uma estrutura multinível de conceitos para proporcionar o desenvolvimento de diferentes combinações para a apresentação do mesmo conteúdo. O trabalho mostra que é possível personalizar o conteúdo de forma a favorecer outros estudantes com o uso de padrões proximais de aprendizagem. Estes padrões são obtidos da análise da ação de estudantes, com resultados positivos na organização individual do conteúdo. A representação formal estabelece a definição do perfil do estudante, o conteúdo multinível, o plano de distribuição dos conceitos e a correção da trajetória didática. A estruturação da trajetória didática do estudante é formalmente estabelecida pelo método das diferenças finitas. O sistema utiliza técnicas de inteligência artificial para organizar e personalizar reativamente o conteúdo. A personalização é proporcionada por uma rede neural artificial que possibilita a classificação do perfil do estudante e associa esse perfil a um padrão proximal de aprendizagem. Para mediar e ajustar o conteúdo de forma reativa foi inserido no sistema um conjunto de regras de especialistas em docência. O experimento realizado mostrou a aplicabilidade e a adequação da modelagem proposta. Os resultados indicaram a adequação da abordagem, automatizando a organização personalizada do conteúdo de forma adaptativa e reativa. O sistema inteligente ao estabelecer a estruturação personalizada do conteúdo a ser apresentado foi considerado eficiente, proporcionando ao estudante um melhor aproveitamento do conteúdo, com maior média final e menor tempo de estudo e conteúdo apresentado. / Doutor em Ciências

Etant donné que dans les environnements universitaires d’enseignement et d’apprentissage à distance, le tuteur, dans son activité de perception, a des difficultés à détecter les stratégies cognitives à l’origine d’un blocage, ce qui nécessite une instrumentation spécifique pour visualiser l’activité cognitive de l’apprenant dans son parcours d’apprentissage médiatisé, notre problématique de recherche a pour finalité d’instrumenter le tuteur distant pour que cet acteur, d’une formation hybride sur la plateforme UMTICE, puisse identifier les stratégies cognitives en compréhension écrite de l’apprenant singulier de FLE. Cette problématique de recherche donne lieu à deux hypothèses de recherche visant pour la première la conception d'une typologie théorique des habiletés cognitives afin de nommer les stratégies cognitives que pourrait utiliser cet apprenant lors de la réalisation de tâches de compréhension écrite et pour la seconde à nuancer l'emploi de notre instrument par le tuteur distant dans sa fonction d'identification perceptivo-cognitive lors de l'expérimentation qui s'est déroulée dans un cours particulier du CIEF de l'Université Lumière Lyon 2. / A Given that in his perception activities in university Online teaching and learning environments, the tutor has difficulty in detecting cognitive strategies that cause a blockage and which requires specific instrumentation for visualize the cognitive activity of the learner in his mediated learning path, our research objective is to instrument an On-line tutor for this actor with hybrid training on the UMTICE platform that can identify the cognitive strategies in the individual French as Foreign Language learner’s written comprehension. This research problem gives rise to two research hypotheses, first for the design of a theoretical typology of cognitive abilities in order to name the cognitive strategies that this learner could use when performing written comprehension tasks, and second to qualify the use of our tool by the On-line tutor in his perceptual cognitive identification function during the experiment that took place in a particular course at the CIEF of University Lumière Lyon 2.

This thesis focuses on the teaching of the Czech language at scioschools. The theoretical basis of Czech language didactics and the problematicsof alternative education are discussed in the first part, while the second part characterizes the individual scioschools in terms of their general concept and teaching of Czech language. The thesis is fomulated as a case study and is methodologically based on observation, interviews and document analysis. Its aim is to provide a partial insight into the practice of Czech language teaching at scioschools and to answer how and with what goal is Czech language taught. It analyses whether some innovative methods and forms of work reflecting the current topics of Czech language didactics are applied and whether is there are any unifying concepts of Czech language teaching. While this work provides insight into these issues it concludes that scioschools aim to lead the students to so-called study autonomy. Scioschools do not work with a unified concept of teaching. It find that the current Czech language teaching practice - forms of teaching, application of innovative methods or aims are heavily influenced by the personality, knowledge and experiences of the teacher - tutor. KEYWORDS scioschools, alternative school, tutor, didactics of the Czech language, aims of...

My thesis will serve as a monitoring tool for the management of an educational division in company BooK s.r.o.. This monitoring will consist in setting up a new form of monitoring feedback mechanism with help of a made-to-measure web application created by me.

Creation of this new form of feedback was requested directly by the company management of BooK s.r.o. and the implementation and using itself will bring benefits the company primarily in automatization of the monitoring process and time factor. At the same time this application will serve as a tool for evaluation of satisfaction of the customers whose opinions are crucial for the company’s success and improvement of the standard of the provided services which will result in increasing the company’s competitiveness.

The purpose of this study was to discover what defines a writing center by interviewing directors of writing centers in the Southern Appalachian area. This qualitative study was based on a single round of recorded telephone interviews with 13 writing center directors who meet the criteria for inclusion in the study. Many researchers have written about writing centers, their efficacy, and what defines them; yet, no clear consensus exists. Without a clear definition there is no means of determining the efficacy of writing centers. As a result of the interviews with the writing center directors three critical components of writing centers emerged. They were tutors, space, and leadership; these are the three major elements that define and shape a writing center. A writing center must have well-trained and knowledgeable tutors; a space, either physical, virtual or both, as a base of operation; and a director that provides leadership.

[pt] Esta tese estuda o papel que vem sendo desempenhado pela escola pública nos processos de socialização das novas gerações de brasileiros. Sua hipótese principal é a de que a atual centralidade da escola na vida brasileira estaria produzindo efeitos importantes na redefinição de seu papel institucional. Nesse sentido, a tese toma como pano de fundo teórico a discussão sobre a socialização e a institucionalização, e sobre como essas dimensões, tão caras ao debate clássico da sociologia, têm sido tratadas pela literatura contemporânea. A investigação acerca do novo lugar da escola pública na vida brasileira levou, como um dos desdobramentos da hipótese principal da tese, ao estudo da relação entre esta instituição, as famílias dos estudantes e a vizinhança, sabendo que esta relação está necessariamente permeada pela linguagem dos direitos da infância e da adolescência, em decorrência da promulgação da Carta Constitucional de 1988 e do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA), em 1990. Desse modo, tal percurso direcionou, ainda, à investigação do Conselho Tutelar, agência criada pelo ECA e encarregada da defesa e garantia dos direitos da infância e da adolescência no âmbito dos bairros e regiões das cidades. Buscando explorar estas relações, a pesquisa empírica da tese reuniu diferentes abordagens, quantitativas e qualitativas. Foi elaborada com dados extraídos do projeto de pesquisa coletivo Gestão escolar e territórios populares, centrado no estudo de escolas municipais do bairro Gávea e da favela da Rocinha, além de Conselhos Tutelares atuantes naquela região. O vazio institucional entre a escola, o estudante, a família e o Conselho Tutelar foi um dos principais achados da pesquisa. Este problema tem contribuído para a construção de trajetórias escolares e de vida dramaticamente desconectadas do programa de socialização estabelecido pela Constituição e pelo ECA. / [en] This thesis analyses the role that has been played by the public school in the processes of socialization of the new generations of Brazilians. The main hypothesis is that the current centrality of the school in Brazilian social life is producing important effects on the redefinition of its institutional role. In this sense, the thesis uses the discussion about socialization and institutionalization as theoretical background, and analyses how these dimensions, so cherished by the classic sociological debate, have been treated by contemporary literature. The investigation into the new role of the public school in Brazilian life led to the study, as a development of the main hypothesis, of the relationship between this institution, the families of the students and the neighborhood, acknowledging that this relationship is necessarily permeated by rights of infancy and adolescence established by the Constitution of 1988 and by the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (ECA) in 1990. This path of inquiry has also led to the investigation of the Tutelary Council, agency created by the Statute and that is responsible for defending and guaranteeing the rights of children and adolescents in the context of the neighborhoods and regions of cities. Seeking to explore these relationships, the empirical research of this thesis included different methodological approaches, both quantitative and qualitative. It was developed with data extracted from the collective research project School management and vulnerable territories, centered on the study of municipal schools in the Gavea neighborhood and the Rocinha slum, alongside the Tutelary Councils that are active in this region of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The institutional vacuum between the school, the student, the family and the Tutelary Council was one of the main findings of the investigation. This issue has contributed to the development of school and personal trajectories that are dramatically disconnected from the socialization program established by the Constitution and by the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (ECA).

<p>  </p> <p>Empathy is a complex emotional response to others’ experiences that can both advance and obstruct mutual understanding. Many fields in the humanities and social sciences have their own theories of empathy, including recent advances in rhetoric and composition. However, writing center studies have not yet arrived at a theory of empathy despite a body of scholarship that invokes empathy as a necessary skill or disposition in writing center praxis. This dissertation argues that empathic dispositions can be evoked and tempered in staff education classrooms through assignments that facilitate critical self-reflection on one’s positionality. The present pilot study describes four aspects of empathic dispositions that can be tempered in a writing center curriculum. The first chapter categorizes different concepts of empathy in writing centers and theorizes four aspects of empathic dispositions that align with theories on rhetoric, affect, and feminist approaches to empathic, critical engagement with others. The second chapter outlines the feminist methodologies and methods that were used to collect and analyze interviews with research participants. The third chapter describes a sixteen-week staff education course that was oriented to evoking and developing students’ empathic dispositions. The fourth chapter shares interviews with new consultants who reflect on their first semester in our writing center and how their work was influenced by their assignments and experiences in our curriculum. The final chapter concludes the study by outlining its limitations, charting a path forward for future research, and offering a pedagogical approach to cultivating empathic dispositions that I call resonant reflection. The results of this study indicate that consultants draw from their own experiences and values when they imagine a writer’s circumstances. They can access their rich, yet tacit, experiences through deliberative reflection, a necessary component of developing empathic dispositions that advance mutual understanding. These findings implicate that a stronger theoretical framework for empathy in writing centers can advance not only writing center research and pedagogy but also our commitments to social justice in our centers. </p>
