Acompanha: Avaliação da inserção da educação ambiental como tema transversal nas oficinas realizadas em espaço cultural de educação não formal Centro de Atividades Pedagógicas Vila da Cidadania - CAPVC / O objetivo deste trabalho de pesquisa foi analisar como ocorre a inserção da Educação Ambiental (EA) nas atividades desenvolvidas no Centro de Atividades Pedagógicas Vila da Cidadania (CAPVC). Após a análise, propor como Produto de Mestrado Profissional, elaborar proposta para Curso de Educação Ambiental (CEA) como recurso pedagógico para o ensino da EA e produto do mestrado profissional em Ensino de Ciência. O desafio da incorporação da EA na temática escolar e o processo de formação continuada de professores, devem ser instrumentos para vencer este desafio, considerado como uma contribuição positiva na formação de cidadãos. Nesse sentido, o CAPVC funciona paralelamente à escola (em horário de contraturno) para uma educação transformadora quanto aos problemas ligados ao meio ambiente, um espaço cultural de educação não formal, para desenvolver atividades pedagógicas e de cidadania. A pesquisa, qualitativa descritiva, desenvolveu-se em junho de 2013, em duas fases: fundamentação teórica apoiada pela pesquisa bibliográfica e documental; pesquisa de campo, participativa, adotando como instrumentos de pesquisa a observação, com o desenvolvimento do protocolo de observação; a elaboração do plano de trabalho docente (PTD) e aplicação do questionário. O resultado dos dados gerados e coletados dos professores do CAPVC levou à construção do Curso de Educação Ambiental, inserido no Programa Formação em Ação, promovido pela Secretaria de Estado da Educação (SEED), em junho de 2014. Ficou demonstrado que os professores tem uma compreensão da EA, porém não conseguem fazer a transição da EA para a prática docente. Depois do Curso de Educação Ambiental, os professores compreenderam a importância de inserir a EA como tema transversal no conteúdo de suas disciplinas. / The objective of this research was to analyze how the insertion of Environmental Education (EA) in the activities carried out in the Centro de Atividades Pedagógicas Vila da Cidadania (CAPVC). After analysis, propose as the product of professional master’s, elaborate proposal for environmental education course (CEA) as educational resource for the teaching of EA and product of professional master's in Science Education. The challenge of embedding EA school theme and the process of continuous formation of teachers, should be an instrument to win this challenge to be considered as a positive contribution in the formation of citizens. In this sense, the CAPVC works in parallel with the school (contraturno time) for a transformative education about the problems linked to the environment, a cultural space of non- formal education, to develop educational activities and citizenship. Descriptive, qualitative research, developed in June 2013, in two phases: theoretical foundation supported by bibliographic and documentary research; field research, participatory, adopting as research instruments the note, with the development of the observation protocol; the elaboration of the work plan teaching (WPT) and application of the questionnaire. The result of the data generated and collected from the teachers of CAPVC, led to the construction of the Environmental Education Course, inserted into the Training Program in action promoted by Secretaria de Estado da Educação (SEED), in June 2014. It has been shown that teachers have an understanding of EA, but fail to make the transition from EA for the teaching practice. After the course of environmental education teachers understood the importance of inserting the EA as cross-cutting theme in the contents of their disciplines.

Thesis (M. Ed. ) - Central University of Technology, Free State, 2013 / The drafting and promulgation of education policies bring hope and an expectation to those whose interests, concerns and problems, are addressed by them. On the other hand, such policies bring confusion, uncertainty and stress to teachers who are expected to implement and put into practice prescripts of those policies. Response to the Education White Paper 6: Special Needs Education – Building an Inclusive Education and Training System (2001) and subsequent policies on inclusive education which followed, brought uncertainty to teachers and also led to some developing a negative attitude towards inclusive education. This study focused on the implementation of inclusive education in primary schools in the Lejweleputswa District of the Free State province. A literature review provided insight into the concept of inclusive education and moreover shed light on policy developments regarding learner diversity through the curriculum. An empirical investigation using a qualitative approach was conducted and data was gathered by means of focus group interviews with school-based support teams as well as a questionnaire completed by principals. Furthermore, the findings of the empirical investigation concurred, to a large degree, with the findings of the literature study. In general, it was brought to light that inclusive education is not implemented correctly in primary schools in the Lejweleputswa District. Based on certain findings, recommendations are made regarding the successful implementation of inclusive education in primary schools.

The purposes of this study were, 1. To develop a documented history of the founding of the town of Islip. 2. To trace the development of public education within the town and to parallel this development with state-wide developments in the field.

This research describes the social structure of a fundamentalist Baptist Christian School, labeled as First Fundamentalist Baptist School (FFBS). The case study is based on field research extending from August, 1985 through June, 1987. The methodology consisted primarily of qualitative measures: non-participant observation, semi-structured and informal interviews, thematic analysis and historical research. Additionally a brief quantitative survey was given. The methodology's components produce "thick description."The findings place First Fundamentalist Baptist Church (FFBC), the organization which operates the school, in the context of American Protestant fundamentalism. The church and school are shown as representing a separatist fundamentalist category. Discussion of the development of Christian schools in the United States, since the mid-1960's, along with the causes prompting the movement and the specific founding of FFBS embody chapter two. The thematic analysis of FFBS's fundamentalist curricula, based on an inerrant Bible as the pervasive controlling integrator, is the topic of chapter three. Chapter four examines the organization's relationship with the larger society: other churches, public educational authorities, the state and the larger world. Social control mechanisms functioning to reinforce the group's unique subcultural identity are detailed in the fifth chapter.The theoretical premises proposed to explain the FFBS are: 1) fundamentalism is an enduring conservative movement in reaction to modernity; 2) the FFBS-FFBC community is representative of a countercultural subculture; and 3) FFBS is a component of FFBC's sect-like orientation.Fundamentalism, once 'thought doomed to extinction as a result of the forces of modernity, remains a vital movement. Evidence of the movement's strength includes the presence of a conservatively estimated four million fundamentalists, political activism, tele-evangelism and the rise of Christian schools. Modernity, rather than extinguishing fundamentalism, has evoked strong reactions reinforcing the movement. FFBS is a component of these reactions. / Department of History
