This study aims to seek trainee Educational Psychologists’ (EPs) views about their experiences of using Video Enhanced Reflective Practice (VERP) to support the development of consultation and peer supervision skills. VERP is a new pedagogical approach. Limited research has focused on professionals’ experiences of using VERP, alongside exploring the supervisors’ views regarding VERP. Trainee EPs’ are studying a doctoral training course to become qualified EPs. Participants engaged in three cycles of VERP reflecting upon their practice, using video clips of themselves. An action research design was implemented and views from trainee EPs’ and the Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) supervisor were sought, using semi-structured interviews. A form of thematic analysis was used in order to analyse the data. Findings suggest that VERP was generally a positive experience for trainees and their experiences highlighted the impact of observing themselves in practice, as oppose to retrospective reflection. Trainee EPs’ acknowledged factors to consider within a ‘shared review’, their experiences of being filmed and using technology: the strengths and the challenges of which are considered. The findings are discussed in relation to the existing literature surrounding VERP and the potential limitations are also considered, whilst highlighting implications for educational psychology professional practice and research.

This investigation charts a number of complementary explorations at the site of electronic media in art practice and design and media education. Artists are increasingly using video and computer technology in the production of their work, and these shifts are reflected in the way design and media courses are taught in Higher Education. This study seeks to relate a number of often contentious issues, but complex questions are central to any debate about the use of electronic imaging technologies by artists and the implications for teaching and learning. In this respect, the thesis is informed by my dual role as an artist using electronic media and as a lecturer in video and digital imaging in the Media Department at the University of Westminster. The study is based on a particular model of action research, and seeks after the manner of Glaser and Strauss (1967) to "ground" theory in the aggregate perceptions, understandings, and artistic or pedagogical orientations of those seeking to bring order to their own experiences in the settings. The text is arranged in eleven chapters. It begins by introducing the boundaries of the phenomena under study (which is necessarily ragged and untidy and challengingly gritty, since the composite issues have yet to have attracted any clarity of exposition, and the field is in any case characterised by imaginative leaps and cross-fertilisation) and the methodological and idealogical stances adopted. Methodologically the thesis is wide-ranging and eclectic, although also contained within the kind of feminist epistomology proposed by Sandra Harding (1992), Marnier Lazreg (1994) and others. It then moves on to examine a number of focal points and issues related to the use to which electronic media is put by artists. These topics include my own sustained attempts to develop non-linear computer systems for mapping associative thoughts, and a more general and more detailed study of the principles and characteristics of these systems when they are used for holding information about knowledge domains. Following this, there is a chapter dedicated to the application of these principles to a particular knowledge domain, colour theory, with the aim of designing a computer aided learning package. The interconnections between all the topics, issues and themes studied in the text are highlighted in the middle of the thesis before moving on to more specific investigation of the issue of gender in both technological education and creativity, with an emphasis on the use of imaging technologies by women artists. The impact of these technologies in terms of shifting aesthetic values and tastes forms the basis of the final chapter, and a conclusion seeks to offer both a tentative intellectual synopsis and to indicate how the exercise has influenced and affected my work as an artist. I am aware that to some extent this arrangement challenges both the linear quality of conventional research reportage and academic distrust of promiscuously interpenetrating ideas. I trust that this form of discourse, deliberately chosen, is experienced as working within its own terms.

Esta pesquisa de doutorado em Artes Visuais começou no ano de 2010, na Escola de Comunicação e Artes da Universidade de São Paulo - ECA/USP, intitulada O que se ensina e o que se aprende nas Licenciaturas em Artes Visuais a distância?, sob orientação da Profa. Dra. Ana Mae Tavares Bastos Barbosa, e tem como objetivo principal o de realizar síntese analítica e crítica de currículos de formação de profissionais de Ensino de Artes Visuais nos cursos de Licenciatura em Artes Visuais oferecidos na modalidade de Educação a Distância. Trata, principalmente, do mapeamento de uma área ainda iniciante em termos de pesquisa: a verificação da qualidade da formação de professores de arte visuais feita na modalidade de Ensino chamada de Educação a Distância EaD. Como o tema é inédito na área de Ensino de arte, os três capítulos, mais as considerações finais percorrem um caminho pavimentado de muito mais perguntas do que certezas, buscando dar voz aos atores desses processos educativos, em especial aos alunos dos cursos dessas licenciaturas. Composta de referencial teórico inter e multidisciplinar, mais a pesquisa de campo, com entrevistas, busca traçar as bases para a construção de uma Epistemologia do Ensino de Artes Visuais por Educação a Distância, se colocando como uma abertura ao diálogo e à reflexão, necessários, em especial no cenário contemporâneo aonde, a cada dia mais, a Educação a Distância vem ganhando significativa expressão numérica, com a convicção de que EaD não pode ser entendida somente, como uma sucessão, ou substituição da Educação presencial, pois, sua função é, além de aumentar o acesso ao conhecimento, a de realizar-se como uma prática significativa e consequente em relação aos princípios dos projetos pedagógico contemporâneos. / This doctoral research in Visual Arts began in 2010 in the School of Communication and Arts of University of São Paulo - ECA / USP, entitled \"O que se ensina e o que se aprende nas Licenciaturas em Artes Visuais a distância?\" under supervision of Profa.

Its theorical central axle is an explanatory study about colors in childhood, over all about childrens in preschool. Some important theorical aspects have been observed, such as: the choice and the use of colors, the cultural and partner-familiar aspects, beyond the imagination itself, having Vygotsky as the main theoretical base. Beyond the theorical research, this dissertation also includes a Field Research in a Junior Education School, in the city of Florianópolis. For a more detailed study, two children have been chosen: a four years old boy and a five years old girl. During the field research, it has been collected some artistic works of both children, as well as interviews with the children and their parents. Some domestic visits have also been included in the research, in which the researcher had the oportunity to get in contact with each children's life context, and also take photos of their personal objects for data usage.The methodology used for the Field Research analysis was the "Content Analysis", by Bardin.Using this methodology, two main analysis categories have been presented: "Cores, interação social e contexto sociocultural: uma complexa trama na infância" and "Cor e imaginação: o fio da infância na construção do conhecimento", each one of them subdivided in its own respective categories / A presente dissertação apresenta-se como requisito para a obtenção do título de Mestre em Artes Visuais, estando inserida na linha de pesquisa Ensino das Artes Visuais. O eixo teórico central é um estudo exploratório sobre a cor na infância, com crianças em fase pré-escolar. Para tanto, foram observados aspectos teóricos importantes no que se refere: à escolha e ao uso das cores, aos aspectos culturais e sócio-familiares, além da própria imaginação tendo como base principal o suporte teórico de Vygotsky. Juntamente com a pesquisa teórica, tal dissertação incluiu também uma pesquisa de campo em uma escola de Ensino Infantil de Florianópolis. Para um estudo mais detalhado, foram escolhidas duas crianças: um menino de 4 anos de idade e uma menina de 5 anos de idade. Durante a pesquisa de campo foram coletados materiais artísticos destas duas crianças, bem como foram realizadas entrevistas com as próprias crianças e com seus pais. Foram também incluídas visitas domiciliares, nas quais a pesquisadora teve a oportunidade de entrar em contato com o contexto de cada uma das crianças, fotografando objetos de uso pessoal das mesmas para inclusão de dados práticos. A metodologia utilizada para a análise dos dados da pesquisa de campo foi a .Análise de Conteúdo., fundamentada por Bardin. Segundo tal metodologia foram obtidas duas principais categorias de análise:.Cores, interação social e contexto sociocultural: uma complexa trama na infância. e .Cor e imaginação: o fio da infância na construção do conhecimento., cada uma delas subdividida em suas respectivas subcategorias
