No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Lenin Tomazett Garcia.pdf: 681009 bytes, checksum: c712ef5eca0af3a4e52a5d9eb102fe5c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-03-03 / This research investigates the implementation of the National Programme of Integration of Professional Education with Basic Education in the Mode of Education Youth and Adults (Proeja) in the state of Goiás. Has as goal the classic studies in the context of educational policy: the establishment of a federal program in state schools. Problematizes the tension among continuity and rupture developed from the tracks and illuminates the Proeja quest to unravel the meanings of this program for the state of Goias, especially highlighted by the struggle to ensure access to education as a social right noun. The methodological tools used to biographical and documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with professionals involved in program implementation. The theoretical support that based the analysis of the object studied was historical and dialectical materialism, identifying the contradictory aspects of the proposition of a public policy in the context of economic materiality, focused on maintaining the lack of access to education for all. The analysis revealed a tension between establishment and implementation of the Programme. The regulatory and legal actions are completed, but the program is not done effectively, the process that engenders this determination, restores the questioning about the functionality of this program as a way of resolving conflicts and social inequalities. This functionality is the limit of the program itself, and outlines its defensive character against the fundamental contradiction of capital, which organizes our current system of social metabolism. / Este trabalho investiga a implantação do Programa Nacional de Integração da Educação Profissional com a Educação Básica na Modalidade de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (Proeja) na rede estadual de Goiás. Possui como baliza o enfrentamento clássico no âmbito das políticas educacionais: a implantação de um programa federal na rede estadual de ensino. Problematiza as tensões entre ruptura e continuidade desenvolvidas a partir das trilhas que o Proeja ilumina e busca deslindar os sentidos desse programa para o estado de Goiás, mormente destacado pela luta para garantir o acesso à educação como um direito social substantivo. Utiliza como recursos metodológicos a análise bibliográfica e documental, bem como entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais envolvidos na implantação do programa. O suporte teórico que embasa a análise do objeto estudado é o materialismo histórico-dialético, com o esforço de identificar os aspectos contraditórios da proposição de uma política pública no âmbito de uma materialidade econômica, pautada pela manutenção do não acesso à educação para todos. A análise revelou uma tensão entre implantação e realização do programa. As ações normativas e legais são cumpridas, mas o programa não se realiza efetivamente. O processo que essa determinação engendra repõe a problematização sobre a funcionalidade do Proeja como uma das formas de resolução dos conflitos e das desigualdades sociais. Essa funcionalidade é o limite do próprio programa e demarca o seu caráter defensivo ante a contradição fundamental do capital, que organiza o nosso atual sistema de metabolismo social.

The mission of this project is to develop a school-to-career curriculum that can be utilized by all middle school students. It is designed to help educate these students in the skills they will need to become successful in their future careers.

Im ersten Teil der Arbeit werden die theoretischen Grundlagen zum dualen Prüfsystem in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland mit dem Schwerpunkt auf den Prüfbereich Wirtschafts- und Sozialkunde und den schriftlichen Prüfverfahren erörtert. Der anschließende empirische Teil gliedert sich in eine quantitative Dokumentenanalyse im Kapitel 3 und die qualitative Inhaltsanalyse von Experten-interviews im Kapitel 4. Durch die quantitative Datenerhebung werden einerseits Prüfungsaufgabensätze des Bereichs Wirtschafts- und Sozialkunde und anderer-seits Curricula, die dem Unterricht im Prüfbereich Wirtschafts- und Sozialkunde übergeordnet sind, hinsichtlich ihres inhaltlichen Gehaltes überprüft. Im Anschluss daran werden die Gegebenheiten im Wirtschafts- und Sozialkundeunterricht an sächsischen berufsbildenden Schulen mithilfe der Experteninterviews dargelegt. Das Kapitel fünf verbindet die erzeugten Aussagen aus den einzelnen empirischen Teilen und soll abschließend den Bezug zur These vom heimlichen Lehrplan herstellen. Im letzten Kapitel werden Empfehlungen formuliert, die die Situation der politischen Bildung in der beruflichen Bildung vor allem im Hinblick auf die schriftliche Abschlussprüfung im Bereich Wirtschafts- und Sozialkunde verbessern könnten.:Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Einleitung 1 2 Das duale Prüfsystem der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 3 2.1 Allgemeine Rechtsgrundlagen 4 2.2 Zuständige Stellen im Prüfprozess 6 2.2.1 Neuregelungen im Berufsbildungsgesetz und deren Konsequenzen 7 2.2.2 Aufgabenerstellungseinrichtungen 8 2.3 Regularien für den Prüfungsbereich Wirtschafts- und Sozialkunde 11 2.4 Schriftliche Prüfungsdurchführungsform und ihre Aufgabentypen 7 2.4.1 Gebundene Aufgabentypen 21 2.4.2 Nichtgebundene Aufgabentypen 25 2.4.3 Qualitätskriterien der schriftlichen Prüfung 29 2.5 Schnittmengen von politischer und beruflicher Bildung 31 3 Quantitative Datenerhebung 38 3.1 Analyse der Prüfungsaufgabensätze Wirtschafts- und Sozialkunde 38 3.1.1 Prüfungsaufgabensatz Bürokaufmann/-kauffrau (Winter 2011/12) 42 3.1.2 Prüfungsaufgabensatz Koch/Köchin (Winter 2011/2012) 44 3.1.3 Prüfungsaufgabensatz Mechatroniker/-in (Winter 2011/2012) 46 3.1.4 Zusammenfassung der Aufgabenanalyse 48 3.2 Lehrplananalyse 50 3.2.1 Baden-Württemberg .. 51 3.2.2 Bayern . 55 3.2.3 Berlin und Brandenburg 57 3.2.4 Bremen 60 3.2.5 Hamburg 64 3.2.6 Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 66 3.2.7 Niedersachsen 68 3.2.8 Nordrhein-Westfalen 71 3.2.9 Rheinland-Pfalz 73 3.2.10 Saarland 76 3.2.11 Sachsen 78 3.2.12 Schleswig-Holstein 82 3.2.13 Thüringen 86 3.2.14 Zusammenfassung der Lehrplananalyse 89 4 Qualitative Datenerhebung 91 4.1 Forschungsdesign 91 4.2 Methode der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse 92 4.3 Ergebnisse der Inhaltsanalyse 93 4.3.1 Die Abschlussprüfung als Damoklesschwert für den Lehrenden 94 4.3.2 Nomen est omen 98 4.3.3 „Und alles andere hängt vom Lehrer ab, vom Geschick des Lehrers, seinen Unterricht zu gestalten und zu sagen, das ist wichtig.“ (3/343ff.) 101 4.3.4 Berufsbildender Unterricht und Prüfungswesen – Einheit oder Dualismus? 104 5 Konklusion 109 6 Empfehlungen 114 Literaturverzeichnis 116

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.

This empirical exploratory study quantitatively analyzed content similarity indices (potential plagiarism) from a corpus consisting of 360 dissertations and 360 published articles. The population was defined using the filtering search criteria human resource development, training and development, organizational development, career development, or HRD. This study described in detail the process of collecting content similarity analysis (CSA) metadata using Turnitin software (www.turnitin.com). This researcher conducted robust descriptive statistics, a Wilcoxon signed-rank statistic between the similarity indices before and after false positives were excluded, and a multinomial logistic regression analysis to predict levels of plagiarism for the dissertations and the published articles. The corpus of dissertations had an adjusted rate of document similarity (potential plagiarism) of M = 9%, (SD = 6%) with 88.1% of the dissertations in the low level of plagiarism, 9.7% in the high and 2.2% in the excessive group. The corpus of published articles had an adjusted rate of document similarity (potential plagiarism) of M = 11%, (SD = 10%) with 79.2% of the published articles in the low level of plagiarism, 12.8% in the high and 8.1% in the excessive group. Most of the difference between the dissertations and published articles were attributed to plagiarism-of-self issues which were absent in the dissertations. Statistics were also conducted which returned a statistically significant justification for employing the investigative process of removing false positives, thereby adjusting the Turnitin results. This study also found two independent variables (reference and word counts) that predicted dissertation membership in the high (.15-.24) and excessive level (.25-1.00) of plagiarism and published article membership in the excessive level (.25-1.00) of plagiarism. I used multinomial logistic regression to establish the optimal prediction model. The multinomial logistic regression results for the dissertations returned a Nagelkerke pseudo R2 of .169 and for the published articles a Nagelkerke pseudo R2 .095.
