What is conversation and how is it related to pedagogic relations? Conversations: Hermeneutic Inquiry Unearthing Pedagogic Relations utilizes Hans-Georg Gadamger's notion of conversation as "the art of seeing things in the unity of an aspect" (Gadamer, 2004, p.368). This definition for conversation is a model for the pedagogic relation where the teacher and student experience education together, side-by-side. This thesis explores the themes of pedagogy, vulnerability and living or Being in the context of teaching. Hermeneutic inquiry -a mode, or art of interpretation-is utilized to inquire into one teacher's experience with students to unearth a deeper understanding of the pedagogic relation. The hermeneutic questions that have informed the inquiry are: 1)What is the nature of the pedagogic relation? 2)What is the nature of the teacher-student relationship? 3)What is the significance of vulnerability in teaching? 4)What is the effect of society on the pedagogic relation? Textual fragments or narrative reconstructions of conversations with students and parents are the site of the study. The study itself employs Gadamer's Truth and Method as a tool of inquiry and also explores the writings on pedagogy of David Smith, David Jardine and Max van Manen. This thesis addresses the nature of a teacher being with another, namely the student and how the teacher must have a measure of self-understanding to nurture the pedagogic relation. The teacher who engages in conversation with his/her students will undoubtedly experience a measure of vulnerability as a direct result of the relationship. The thesis concludes with writing about how hermeneutics is a mode of self-understanding and change. / viii, 129 leaves ; 28 cm.

This thesis explores the way a skilled teacher developed and implemented my idea that metacognition could be applied to affect as well as cognition in values education. This idea suggests that teachers can help primary school students to understand the role that affect has played in the development of their values through socialization, and that through this understanding the students may develop a greater capacity to question and develop their values in the future. I call this teaching idea the metacognitive-affective approach to values education. / The review of the literature explores a range of theory, research findings and practical teaching ideas. It looks at the psychological, social psychological, sociological, philosophical, and educational, literature to establish links between affect and cognition in the development and education of values. It also looks at literature on metacognition to establish ways in which metacognition could be focussed on affect and values. / The teacher developed her own understanding of my original idea, and developed, implemented, and evaluated, a teaching intervention based on her interpretation of the idea in a history unit of study over a ten week period with her grade six class. Data were derived from: (i) interviews with the teacher about her understanding of the idea, the concepts, and the issues, before, during and after the implementation; (ii) observations of the teacher’s implementation of the approach in the unit of study, and (iii) the teacher’s written reflections. / The research was an action research-oriented, evaluative case-study using an interpretive, naturalistic approach based on the constructivist paradigm. It employed a hermeneutic philosophical stance that emphasises the way prior understandings and prejudices shape the interpretive process. / The results of the research showed the metacognitive-affective approach to have potential, but, as there was insufficient time to fully implement it, there are still major questions about ways of implementing it, about its practicality, and about how to involve other teachers in trialing it. A conceptual framework for the approach was developed and the thesis concludes with the suggestion that other teachers be recruited to an action-research program to further trial and develop the approach using my framework as a starting point to confirm the value of the approach for practical classroom teaching.

There is considerable qualitative and quantitative data to suggest that chemistry in Australia is in a state of decline. This trend has been in evidence for the last fifteen years and is most evident from a progressive decline in demand for tertiary chemistry courses over this period despite an overall increase in demand for science courses in Australian universities. There is quantitative evidence to suggest that Australia is experiencing a ‘skills shortage’ of ‘trained chemists’ to support the development and sustainability of the chemical industry and, perhaps more significantly, the proportion of chemistry graduates entering the teaching profession is also decreasing. / This thesis examines the reasons for this decline in the status of Australian chemistry by conducting a series of interviews with Heads of Departments of Chemistry in Australian universities to find out their concerns on this issue and, more specifically, to ascertain the actions that they are enacting to address the decline in demand for tertiary chemistry courses and the difficulty in retaining students in the chemistry major. This process also revealed numerous constraints, most significantly, financial constraints, that impede ‘change’ in the tertiary chemistry sector. (For complete abstract open document)

CAPES / Pensar na juventude como sujeitos-atores capazes de participar de uma forma mais efetiva das transformações sociais, é pensar em uma forma de valorizar as possibilidades de desenvolvimento endógeno. O tema protagonismo juvenil vem sendo discutido nos últimos anos como uma das formas de estímulo ao envolvimento do jovem e como forma de aprendizado da participação democrática. A presente dissertação tem como tema de pesquisa o estudo das práticas pedagógicas da Pedagogia da Alternância em Casas Familiares Rurais e a formação para o protagonismo do jovem rural. Realizou-se uma pesquisa social, de cunho qualitativo, tendo como instrumento de coleta de dados observações, questionários e entrevistas. Fez-se uso dos instrumentos da Pedagogia da Alternância como opção metodológica de orientação da pesquisa. Entendeu-se que o protagonismo juvenil é inerente à proposta pedagógica da Pedagogia da Alternância e que os instrumentos didáticos fomentam a formação do protagonismo do jovem rural. Devese levar em conta, neste contexto, as contradições da prática pedagógica e os diferentes contextos sócio-culturais em que as Casas Familiares Rurais estão inseridas. Percebeu-se que a juventude rural necessita de maiores canais de comunicação social e de espaços de participação, especialmente nas comunidades rurais. Iniciativas que garantem e por vezes fomentam o protagonismo do jovem rural foram identificadas e destacadas como ações que foram além do ativismo juvenil. / Thinking in youth as actors-subjects capable of participating in a more effective way of social change, is to think of a way to enhance the opportunities for endogenous development. The theme of juvenile protagonism has been discussed in recent years as a way of encouraging the involvement of young and learning as a form of democratic participation. This dissertation research has as its theme the study of practices pedagogical in the Pedagogy of Alternating of Rural Family Houses and formation for the protagonism of rural youth. We conducted a social search of qualitative character, with the data collection instrument observations, questionnaires and interviews. Was use of the instruments of the Pedagogy of Alternating as a methodological option of directing research. It was understood that juvenile protagonism is inherent in the pedagogical Pedagogy of Alternating and teaching tools that foster the formation of the rural youth protagonism. It should be taken into account in this context, the contradictions of pedagogical practices and the different socio-cultural contexts to which the Rural Family Houses are inserted. It was felt that rural youth needs more social media channels and spaces of participation, especially in rural communities. Initiatives to ensure and at times foster protagonism of rural youth were identified and highlighted as actions that were beyond the youth activism.

Orientador: Luciana Maria Lunardi Campos / Banca: Alessandra Aparecida Viveiro / Banca: Fernando Bastos / Resumo: O presente trabalho visou identificar e analisar características do Ensino de Ciências no âmbito da Pedagogia Waldorf. A Pedagogia Waldorf, criada em 1919, na Alemanha, por Rudolf Steiner, está presente no mundo todo. Baseada na antroposofia, possui uma estratégia pedagógica que inclui o desenvolvimento físico, psicoemocional e espiritual do aluno. Dentre suas características estão o ensino em épocas (ensino concentrado de 4 a 6 semanas), a forte presença das artes e um processo cognitivo descrito por Goethe, que trata da observação de um fenômeno até que se chegue em sua essência. Foram realizadas entrevistas com seis professores, de cinco escolas, observadas aulas de ciências em duas escolas Waldorf, de São Paulo e de um município da região de São Paulo. Foram analisados documentos como periódicos de encontros de formação continuada em Pedagogia Waldorf e compilações curriculares. Os dados obtidos foram organizados em onze eixos e foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin. Este estudo traz uma discussão sobre os objetivos de Rudolf Steiner ao pensar a Pedagogia para o Ensino de Ciências. Os resultados obtidos evidenciam que a Pedagogia Waldorf tem como principal base de estruturação para o Ensino de Ciências a fenomenologia goetheanística, principalmente por não desvencilhar os fenômenos naturais de um mundo espiritual e desta forma, através das práticas de observação o aluno, de maneira inconsciente, compreenda a relação entre o mundo materi...

Waldorf Education, established in 1919 in Germany by Rudolf Steiner, is present worldwide. Based on anthroposophy, it has a pedagogical strategy that includes physical, psychoemotional and spiritual development of the student. Among its features are seasonal teaching (concentrated teaching between 4 to 6 weeks), the strong presence of the arts and a cognitive process described by Goethe, which deals with the observation of a phenomenon until it arrives at its core. Six interviews with teachers were conduct in five schools, science classes observed in two Waldorf Schools, being from São Paulo and from a municipality in the São Paulo region. Documents such as periodic meetings of continuing education in Waldorf Pedagogy and curriculum builds were analyzed. The captured data was organized in eleven axes and the content analysis proposed by Bardin was used. This study provides a discussion about the Rudolf Steiner goals when applying pedagogy for the Science Teaching. The results show that Waldorf's Pedagogy m ain base of structure for Science Education is the goetheanístic phenomenology, especially for not disentangling the natural phenomena of a spiritual world and thus, through the observation practices, the student unconsciously understand the relationship between the material and spiritual world. It is yet to expect that the student will be able to re... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Orientador: Paula Ramos de Oliveira / Banca: Antônio Álvaro Soares Zuin / Banca: Edelir Salomão Garcia / Banca: José Luiz Vieira / Banca: José Vaidergorn / Resumo: Essa pesquisa teve como finalidade analisar, por meio do método dialético negativo da Escola de Frankfurt, a teoria dos ciclos anunciada pelo autor Phillipe Perrenoud, teórico que influenciou o entendimento dos ciclos no Brasil a partir da década de noventa e se propôs a teorizar sobre como os ciclos de aprendizagem deveriam se materializar em prática pedagógica e em estrutura organizacional nas escolas. A análise dos resumos de teses e dissertações que estudam a temática dos ciclos, no período de 2000 a 2011, demonstrou uma ausência de trabalhos que se preocuparam em analisar a teoria dos ciclos de aprendizagem de Phillipe Perrenoud, o que nos alertou para uma possível tendência a uma apropriação acrítica desta teoria. O trabalho foi dividido em três diferentes momentos. Na primeira seção, intitulada "Os ciclos no Brasil", procuramos inserir o leitor na temática a ser aprofundada na pesquisa por meio de um "breve" histórico sobre a inserção dos ciclos no Brasil com o auxílio do estudo dos resumos de teses e dissertações levantadas sobre os ciclos no período de 2000 a 2011 que possuem como objeto de pesquisa os ciclos em suas diferentes manifestações. Na segunda seção "Philippe Perrenoud: o pensador dos ciclos de aprendizagem" procuramos elaborar uma síntese descritiva da teoria dos ciclos de aprendizagem de Perrenoud utilizando as suas centrais obras traduzidas no Brasil e, portanto, as que mais influenciam no país o debate sobre os ciclos de aprendizagem. E, por fim, a terceira e última seção foi intitulada "Os ciclos de aprendizagem em Perrenoud: quando afirmar é negar", na qual procuramos efetuar uma análise sobre a proposta dos ciclos de aprendizagem de Philippe Perrenoud com o auxílio das reflexões dos teóricos clássicos da Escola de Frankfurt - Horkheimer, Marcuse e, especialmente, Adorno / Abstract: This research aimed to analyze, through the negative dialectical method of the Frankfurt School, the theory of the cycles announced by author Phillipe Perrenoud, theorist who influenced the understanding of the cycles in Brazil since the nineties and proposed himself to theorize about how learning cycles should materialize in pedagogical practice and organizational structure in schools. The analysis of the abstracts of theses and dissertations studying thematic cycles, from 2000 to 2011, showed an absence of studies that have focused on analyzing the theory of learning cycles of Phillipe Perrenoud, which alerted us to a possible tendency to uncritical appropriation of this theory. The work was divided into three different moments. In the first section, entitled "Cycles in Brazil", we seek to insert readers in the thematic to be discussed further in the research through a "brief" history of the insertion of the cycles in Brazil aided by the study of abstracts of theses and dissertations achieved about the learning cycles in the period from 2000 to 2011, which have as research object the cycles in its different manifestations. In the second section, "Philippe Perrenoud: the thinker of the learning cycle", we seek to develop a descriptive synthesis of Perrenoud's theory of the learning cycles using their central works translated in Brazil and, therefore, that most influence the debate in the country about the learning cycles. And finally, the third and final section is entitled "The learning cycles in Perrenoud: when to state is to deny", in which we seek to make an analysis about the proposal of the learning cycle of Philippe Perrenoud with the assistance of the reflections of classical theorists of the Frankfurt School - Horkheimer, Marcuse and especially Adorno / Doutor

Composta por três capítulos, a presente dissertação aborda a Pedagogia da Alternância como proposta metodológica destinada à população do campo com o objetivo de apresentar os seus referenciais teóricos e metodológicos e sua aproximação com tendências pedagógicas educacionais à luz da contribuição de pensadores da educação. Caracterizando-se como pesquisa bibliográfica, faz-se um estudo acerca da Educação do Campo enfatizando-se o contexto histórico e alguns elementos conceituais, bem como o surgimento da Pedagogia da Alternância no contexto mundial e brasileiro, permitindo-se perceber as relações intrínsecas que há nessa proposta metodológica com a educação do campo. Faz-se, também, um apanhado teórico-conceitual dos pilares e instrumentos que compõem a prática pedagógica desta proposta educacional evidenciando- se a formação integral, técnico/científica e orientação profissional através do diálogo de saberes a partir do contexto familiar, social e educativo de forma interdisciplinar. Estudou-se, também, a contribuição de pensadores da educação à Pedagogia da Alternância com o intuito de se verificar a aproximação dessa proposta de educação com as tendências pedagógicas educacionais o que permitiu a compreensão de que seus fundamentos teóricos e metodológicos se apoiam em diferentes tendências pedagógicas e que, nesse contexto, há um vasto campo de estudos para se mostrar e (re)criar. / Composed by three chapters, this dissertation addresses the Pedagogy of Alternation as a methodological proposal for the field population with the aim of clarifying its theoretical and methodological frameworks and its approach to the educational learning trends in light of the contribution of educational thinkers. Characterized as literature, it is a study about Field Education emphasizing its historical context and some conceptual elements as well as the emergence of the Pedagogy of Alternation in the world and in brazilian context, allowing to realize the intrinsic relationship that is with this methodological approach to the field education. Also, it makes a theoretical and conceptual overview of the pillars and instruments that make up the pedagogical practice of this educational proposal evidencing the comprehensive training, scientific and professional guidance through the dialogue of knowledge from family, social and educational context in an interdisciplinary way. It was also studied the contribution of educational thinkers to the Pedagogy of Alternation in order to verify this proposed approach education with educational pedagogical trends which enabled the realization that its theoretical and methodological foundations rely on different trends teaching and in that context , there is a vast field of studies to show and (re)create.
