Its main purpose is to find out if the changes which occurred in 2011 led to a democratic choice or if they were just a way the government found to use the election process to legitimize its power of influence within the schools. The general objective is to contribute to a critical analysis on the changes in elections for principals of state schools in the city of Anápolis in 2011 in accordance to the 2783/SEDUC/GO ordinance. These changes were the insertion of an online course for precandidates to that position, an eliminatory test and a mandatory course on educational management for the elected candidates. In this sense, the study is justified by the importance of understanding the implications of the current policy of the State Board of Education of Goiás concerning the democratic management of schools, as well as its importance and credibility within the local community. The methodology is principled by a qualitative research paradigm and the data were raised through the study of relevant documents and legislation and the application of semistructured interviews. The data were analyzed based on the theoretical framework and allowed to ponder the impact of changes of 2011 elections for democratic management. The most important conclusion of this research was that in the year of 2011, there was not an election but a validation of pre-approved candidates who passed the test on management. In the city of Anápolis there were few schools with candidates competing for the election. Besides, some principals have been dismissed from their functions and the local board of education has designated other professionals to replace them. The participants, in general, have not noticed any change in the schools management and have expressed dissatisfaction with the current model of choice which in their opinion represents a setback in the election process for principals and consequently for the democratic management of public schools. / Esta pesquisa trata do processo de escolha dos diretores da educação básica da rede estadual de educação do município de Anápolis-Goiás em 2011. Ela tem como problemática central desvelar se as mudanças ocorridas em 2011 permitiram uma escolha democrática ou se esta foi uma forma do governo realizar as eleições, legitimando seu poder de influência dentro das escolas. O objetivo geral é contribuir com as análises críticas sobre as mudanças ocorridas nas eleições para diretores das escolas estaduais no município de Anápolis em 2011 conforme a portaria 2783/SEDUC/GO, como a inserção de um curso preparatório na modalidade a distância para os pré-candidatos, uma prova de caráter eliminatório e um curso de gestão educacional obrigatório para os candidatos eleitos. Nesse sentido, o estudo justifica-se pela importância de se compreender os meandros da atual política da Secretaria de Estado da Educação de Goiás no que se refere à gestão democrática das escolas, bem como sua importância e credibilidade junto à comunidade local. A metodologia aplicada foi a pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, e os procedimentos foram o estudo da documentação/legislação pertinente e realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas para levantamento de dados. Os dados foram analisados à luz do referencial teórico, e permitiram ponderar sobre o impacto das mudanças das eleições de 2011 para a gestão democrática. As conclusões mais importantes desta pesquisa são no sentido de que no ano de 2011 não houve uma eleição de diretores, mas sim uma validação dos candidatos pré-aprovados na prova sobre gestão. Em Anápolis, houve poucas escolas com candidatos concorrentes nas eleições, e alguns diretores estão sendo exonerados de suas funções e, em seus lugares, a Subsecretaria indica os diretores que irão ocupar o cargo. No geral, os entrevistados não perceberam nenhuma mudança na gestão das escolas e demonstraram insatisfação com o atual modelo de escolha, apontando, assim, para um retrocesso no processo das eleições para diretores e em consequência para a gestão democrática das escolas públicas estaduais.

The research includes two dimensions: the first one focus the municipal system, exploring the structure set for the in service training programs; and the second one examines this process at two municipal preschools. The research followed a qualitative methodology; it collected and analysed the municipal legal and orientation documents and the written records about the training practices developed by the schools management teams (composed by one principal, one pedagogical adviser and one assistant teacher at each school). Nowadays, teacher s formation is a controversial field, where are reflected different ideas on models for people, school and society. The preschool teacher formation is part of this scene, defined, however, by its own specific features. The specific literature concerning the formation of early childhood education teachers has been asserting the knowledge built about childhood, as relevant in their training programs. . In this sense, this dissertation attributes centrality to this generational category, as a central aspect for the early childhood education teacher s formation. The research results reveal, at the municipal level, several contradictions and a lack of importance given to the early childhood education particularities; at the same time, results show that the municipal documents offer an important general structure for the training process developed at municipal schools. In the two preschools it was observed that conceptions about early childhood education and teacher formation followed more integrated and holistic perspectives, what can be explained by the professionals own formation experiences that showed influences from past external advisors. The research also registered a relative lack of initiative by the teachers at the in service formation programs, in comparison with the active leadership of the management team at each school / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar a formação continuada do professor de educação infantil, desenvolvida no contexto de duas pré-escolas públicas, no município de São Bernardo do Campo, estado de São Paulo. A pesquisa desdobrou-se em duas dimensões: no âmbito do sistema municipal de ensino, investigando as estruturas que normatizam a formação e no âmbito interno às escolas, analisando as práticas formativas desenvolvidas pelas equipes gestoras, por meio de registros escritos dessa prática. A pesquisa adotou uma abordagem qualitativa e utilizou como estratégia de coleta de dados, a análise documental. A formação de professores constitui-se, na atualidade, em campo multirreferenciado e marcado por disputas em defesa de modelos de sociedade, de homem e de escola. A formação do professor de educação infantil insere-se nesse cenário, delimitada, contudo, por especificidades que lhe são próprias. A literatura sobre a formação do professor de educação infantil vem afirmando que os saberes construídos sobre o campo da infância são relevantes na formação desse profissional; esta dissertação aborda os conhecimentos sobre esse campo como elementos fundantes desse processo formativo. Os principais resultados da pesquisa revelam que, no âmbito municipal, a despeito de contradições e da não priorização de uma abordagem específica para a educação infantil, existe um quadro legal prescrito que estrutura a formação continuada nas unidades. No âmbito das pré-escolas investigadas, os resultados indicam que as concepções que balizam o trabalho formativo são mais amplas do que as orientações municipais, sugerindo a contribuição das histórias de formação das equipes gestoras e de assessorias passadas. Observou-se, também, o pequeno espaço ocupado pelo protagonismo docente na formação continuada no lócus escolar, e o papel decisivo assumido pelas equipes gestoras nesse processo

Cette thèse traite des réformes et des politiques éducatives mises en place au Royaume-Uni après l’arrivée au pouvoir des nouveaux travaillistes en 1997. À la suite de la dévolution, deux Assemblées furent créés en 1999, l’une au Pays de Galles, et l’autre en Irlande du Nord, et l’Écosse se dota d’un Parlement. Cela entraîna la pérennisation des différences qui existaient entre les systèmes éducatifs du Royaume-Uni, la gestion de chaque système éducatif étant confiée à ces nouvelles institutions. La thèse analyse en profondeur les évolutions et les transformations générées au sein des différents systèmes éducatifs entre 1997 et 2010 (période de gouvernance des nouveaux travaillistes), et dégage les divergences et/ou rapprochements qui en ont découlé. Elle montre comment chacune des quatre nations a fait évoluer sa politique éducative, tout en tenant compte des réformes qui furent mises en place par les précédents gouvernements, ces changements ayant déjà profondément bouleversé l’organisation des systèmes éducatifs (New Public Management/autonomie des écoles). Certaines réformes antérieures à la période d’étude, qui modifièrent profondément le modèle de fonctionnement et l’organisation de ces systèmes éducatifs, sont également abordées car les gouvernements du début des années 2000 durent en tenir compte lors de l’élaboration de leurs projets éducatifs. Cette étude comparative tente aussi de définir l’efficacité des réformes en matière de performance scolaire et d’égalité des chances. / This thesis deals with the reforms and education policies that were implemented in the United Kingdom after the arrival of New Labour in 1997. Following devolution, two Assemblies were created in 1999, one in Wales, and one in Northern Ireland, and Scotland had a Parliament. This led to the persistence of the differences that existed between the education systems of the United Kingdom, the management of each education system being entrusted to these new institutions. The thesis analyses in depth the evolutions and the transformations generated within the different education systems between 1997 and 2010 (period of governance of New Labour), and reveals the divergences and/or convergences that ensued. It shows how each of the four nations has changed its education policy, while taking into account the reforms that were put in place by previous governments, these changes having already profoundly changed the organisation of these education systems (New Public Management/Local management of schools). Some reforms, prior to the period under study, which profoundly changed the organisation of these education systems, are also discussed because the governments in the early 2000s had to take them into account when developing their education projects. This comparative study also attempts to define the effectiveness of reforms in school performance and equal opportunities.

This diploma thesis examines the use of the law as an instrument for the governance of the education system in the Czech Republic. It evaluates the impact some selected changes in legislation had on the education system during the period between 1990 and 2010. The topic of this paper is the law used as an instrument for implementing education policies in the Czech Republic, as well as monitoring of and evaluating objectives and reality. A section in the theoretical part is dedicated to defining and explaining the basic terms the author works with and uses throughout the text. The paper briefly analyses the development of changes within the school system in the course of the first twenty years that followed after the November overthrow in 1989. Key attempts to make changes in education and child-rearing are described, and the amendments to the Education Act or, if applicable, other legislation that impacted on the school system and education are examined. Not only does this paper summarize the key legislative reforms within the education process in the Czech Republic between 1990 and 2010, it also examines the education system from the curriculum documents' point of view - Primary School, General School and National School, the Framework Education Programme - as well as the school governance systems...

In which purpose, for who and when does equality get fullfilled in the education system? This studie takes aim on the upper level and second upper level school system to study what the curriculum says on the one hand and what the system brings out on the other. With critical theory as method, with Herbert Tingsten as founder, this studie analyzes the logic of the education system to set out if the pupils choice of education, after the upper level lower secondary school, in second upper level is legit with democratic principles such as freedom (of choice). The theory, used to analyze the individuals progress to be autonomous, uses Adam Swifts definition of freedom as an individual being autonomous. The findings of the study shows that what politicians chases as equality really i´snt equality. What sets out be a guarantee in the upper level lower secondary schools official documents, that every student are concerned by the goals of the school, really don’t apply to all students. Equality is withheld, politicians have put forward, when every student gets at least the grade E. This stands against that the grade E as it is graded by the Swedish school department “Skolverket” and so by the teachers in local schools doesn’t reach to the goals outlined in the official documents. Equality as it is defined in earlier studies is partly confirmed by this study, partly redefined as it shows that equality in the education system don’t seem have anything to do with the opportunities or possibilities of the pupils in the school system.

This research focuses on an issue that has persisted in Greece over recent decades – long-term youth unemployment. The issue has worsened in the last few years, however, in particular following unprecedented historical times caused by a worldwide economic recession that hit Greece particularly hard. This recession that was triggered by events in the United States in 2008, set off a worldwide recession, the effects of which continue to affect countries like Greece today. It is in this context that the post-secondary graduate unemployment rate in the country soared to 20% in 2010 and has since continued to follow an upward trend. What is more, the Greek economy, with debt to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio reaching more than 140% in 2010 and 165% in 2011, is not showing signs of improvement. This situation is far from encouraging for unemployed Greek youth. Grounded theory (GT) methodology is undertaken in this study which borrows from both Glaserian and Straussian GT method approaches. A Constructivist Grounded Theory perspective is used to interpret findings as the thesis analyses barriers to employment, understandings and coping mechanisms in relation to Greek graduate unemployment and identifies prospects for the future. Six participants were recruited through convenience sampling and informed research through in depth interviews. Unemployed post-secondary graduates interviewed in this study offered uniquely grounded data to inform my analysis and shared timely information amidst the challenging context of the Greek fiscal crisis. The situation has gained much international attention and opened the door for re-thinking and new possibilities. Given that the economic situation in the Eurozone is inextricably linked to the conditions in its member states, this study considers employment policy in both Greece and the European Union (EU). The thesis concludes by suggesting some potential areas for further research. / Graduate

This thesis focuses on the exploration and analysis of the current state of motivation and stimulation of employees in an organization. Based on the determined level of their motivation and stimulation, particular corrective measures were proposed to increase the employees´ motivation, loyalty to their employer as well as their overall satisfaction with working life. The first stage comprised a review of professional literature, both domestic and foreign, and studies dealing with motivation and stimulation. Using appropriate research methods, the current state of motivation and stimulation of employees in the given organization was analysed. Based on the information gathered from questionnaires and unstructured interviews, the corrective measures were proposed. They could help effectively increase motivation of the employees and strengthen their relationship with the organization.

Cette thêse porte sur les relations établies parmi les différents membres du Réseau Municipal d'Enseignement de Porto Alegre, depuis la promulgation de la loi n o 8198/98 qui ont créé ce systême, et des effets qu'elle a produit. La problématique développée dans ce travail vise à rendre visible les différentes circonstances historiques et politiques dans lesquelles se développent l'organisation du Réseau Municipal d'Enseignement de Porto Alegre, la création du Conseil Municipal d'Education et la mise en place du Systême Municipal d'Enseignement lui-même. Le récit de la thêse se sert des données et des informations recueillies par les historiens et les chercheurs du domaine de l'éducation ainsi que de la recherche elle-même qui était à la base de ce texte. De cette façon, nous avons essayé de mettre en lumiêre la compréhension à propos des thématiques comme la décentralisation, le systême, le plan et le conseil de l'éducation qui ont eu des conditions (de pouvoir) de s'imposer à des moments historiques donnés. Le travail s'est concentré sur les discours des rapports, des documents historiques et des lois qui ont permis, par la force de la loi ou par l'imposition politique, certaines inflexions au cours des événements éducatifs. L'émergence d'un Systême d'Enseignement intégré par plusieurs organismes et institutions, et géré par le Secrétariat Municipal d'Éducation, à la fois qu'il organise les services éducatifs à Porto Alegre, il produit des rapports de force três complexes parmi les institutions qui n'ont que leur domaine d'action défini, en outre sont jaloux de leurs pouvoirs. Le texte, motivé par les défis des écrits de Foucault, recherche avec insistance la question de la pensée habituelle sur la façon dont ces relations se produisent. / Esta tese trata das relações estabelecidas entre os diferentes integrantes do Sistema Municipal de Ensino de Porto Alegre, a partir da promulgação da Lei n° 8.198/98 que criou esse sistema, e dos efeitos que ela produziu. A problematização desenvolvida neste trabalho procura dar visibilidade ao modo como foram surgindo, em diferentes conjunturas históricas e políticas, a organização da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Porto Alegre, a criação do Conselho Municipal de Educação e a instituição do próprio Sistema Municipal de Ensino. A narrativa da tese se utilizou de dados e informações coletados tanto por historiadores e pesquisadores da área da educação como pela própria pesquisa que serviu de base para este texto. Procurouse tornar visível, assim, os entendimentos sobre temas como centralização/descentralização, sistema, plano e conselho de educação, os quais tiveram condições (de poder) para se impor, em determinados momentos históricos. O trabalho centrou-se nos discursos de relatórios, documentos históricos e legislações que possibilitaram, por força de lei ou por imposição política, determinadas inflexões no curso dos acontecimentos educacionais. O surgimento de um Sistema de Ensino integrado por vários órgãos e entidades, e administrado pela Secretaria Municipal de Educação, ao mesmo tempo em que organiza o atendimento educacional em Porto Alegre, produz relações de poder extremamente complexas entre instituições que não apenas têm o seu campo de atuação definido, mas que são ciosas de suas competências. O texto, instigado pelos desafios dos escritos foucaultianos, busca, insistentemente, problematizar o pensamento usual sobre o modo como se dão essas relações. / This thesis deals with the established relations between the different sectors of Municipal Education System in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil, since the enactment of law no. 8,198 I 98 hat created this system, and the effects produced by it. The problematic developed in this work seeks to give visibility to how they have been emerging, in different historical and political circumstances, the organization of the Municipal Education System of Porto Alegre, the creation of the Municipal Board of Education and the establishment of the Municipal Education System itself. The thesis narrative used data and information collected by both historians and researchers from the field of education as well as the research itself, which was the basis for this text. We tried to make visible, the understandings on topics such as centralization I decentralization, system, plan and education council, which had conditions (of power) to impose themselves in certain historical moments. The research focused on report speeches, historical documents and legislation, which allowed by law imposition or policy enforcement, certain inflections in the course of educational events. The emerging of a learning Education System integrated with different public authorities and administrativa bodies, ruled by the City Department of Education, and which at the same time organizes the educational services in Porto Alegre, produces extremely complex relations of power between institutions which do not only have their field of actions clearly defined, but are also aware of their competences. The text, instigated by the challenges of Foucault's writings, aims insistently, to question the usual thinking about how these relationships occur. / La presente tesis trata de las relaciones establecidas entre los diferentes actores del Sistema Municipal de Educación de Porto Alegre, a partir de la promulgación de la Ley n° 8.198/98 que crearon este sistema, y los efectos que produce.

Para la narrativa de la tesis, se utilizaron informaciones y datas recopilados tanto por historiadores e investigadores del área de educación como por la misma investigación que sirvió de base para este texto. De esa manera, se buscó volver visibles las comprensiones sobre temas tales como centralizaciónldescentralización, sistema, plan y consejo educativo, los que han tenido condiciones (de poder) para imponerse en determinados momentos históricos. El trabajo está centrado en los discursos de informes, documentos históricos y legislaciones que han posibilitado, a fuerza de ley o por imposición política, ciertas inflexiones en la marcha de los acontecimientos educacionales. El surgimiento de un Sistema Educativo integrado por varias órganos y entidades y gestionado por la Secretaria Municipal de Educación, a la vez que organiza la atención educacional en Porto Alegre, produce relaciones de poder extremadamente complejas entre instituciones que no solo tienen definido su ámbito de actuación, sino que también son celosos de sus competencias. El texto, motivado por los retos de los escritos foucaultianos, busca insistentemente la problematización del pensamiento corriente sobre cómo se dan dichas relaciones.

The main aim of this thesis is to describe the personality and life of Ladislav Malý (1862-1956), a teacher, writer, traveller and amateur national historian, who put forward the foundation of the Museum of Příbram. The thesis also tries to situate Ladislav Malý's life into the context of the era and to assess his importance in the history of Příbram, the Příbram region and the Habsburg monarchy, respectively the Czechoslovak Republic. The third task of the thesis is to assess if Ladislav Malý fits in this context and whether or not, in some way, he is out of it. The story about Ladislav Malý is not strictly chronological. As the title "Chapters from Ladislav Malý's Life" sais, the individual aspects of his life (teacher's work, writing, traveling, etc.) are described separately to make them easier to understand and to place them in the overall picture of the era of second half of the 19th century till the middle of the 20th century.

The present study aimed at describing and analysing stakeholders' perception of the role of the school in providing moral education in a multicultural society. The relevance of moral education today in the context of the Mauritian society cannot be underscored given the widespread concern about the collapse of family structures and the demise of family role models as agents of moral education. The adoption of a materialistic philosophy of life and the increasingly influential role of the media have contributed to the disintegration of the moral fibre of society. Using a qualitative approach, the understanding of various categories of stakeholders, namely teachers, students, parents and school administrators, regarding the issue of morality, moral education and the role of the school have been investigated through a survey. The sample consisted of 33 teachers, 30 students and 9 school administrators and 10 parents. The data was collected through four focus group discussions with students and teachers respectively and a series of individual in depth interviews with parents and school administrators. The data collection period extended over eight months. The conceptual framework used in the study was based on the social learning model developed by Bandura (1991:91). The notion of modelling or vicarious learning as a form of social learning is particularly relevant in the case of moral learning and moral socialisation in the context of the school. The findings reveal a general consensus among adults of the need for schools to seriously reconsider its function as a moral educator. Their perceptions of the ways in which it ought to take place focus primarily on the use of role modelling and dialogue within the school set up. Adults also seem to believe that some form of direct moral instruction could be considered if the strategy used is more student-centred and based on discussions about case studies. The students, however, perceive indirect moral instruction through the hidden curriculum to be more effective in helping them to understand and internalise moral values. Chief among their concern is the role of the teacher and his or her professionalism as well as communication skills. In the light of the findings, guidelines have been developed to implement a moral education programme at secondary school level. / Educational Studies / D.Ed.(Psychology of Education)
