Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This research work is linked to the Program of Masters Degree in Education, of Federal University of Santa Maria, included in the Graduation, Knowledge and Professional Development research line. The subject of the present research involves the discussion about the contribution of the discipline called Oriented Teaching for the academic professors' graduation processes, inferring possible quality indicators for this level of education. This discipline is offered in the syllabus of the courses of Master s Degree stricto sensu in education, in Brazilian Federal Universities. In that way, the general objective is attempting to understand in which manner the Oriented Teaching can contribute for the formative process of the subjects in matter. The methodology is qualitative/quantitative, concerning two dimensions: a quantitative one, seeking to draw a general panorama of the Oriented Teaching in Brazilian Federal Universities and a profile of the discipline in UFSM; and a qualitative one, through the case study with students and Professors of PPGE/CE/UFSM. Therefore, based on the interpretative analysis of the collected data, it is drawn a panorama that defines in general terms the Oriented Teaching in Brazilian Federal Universities and it is built analysis categories that demonstrate how is the status of the discipline at UFSM. These are: Professors' instruction in the Higher Education, Feelings according to the Oriented Teaching and Influence of the Advisor. Thus, starting from the subject and objectives of that research, the found categories can mirror the following quality indicators: education opportunity; teacher's self-valorization as person; group working; learning of the academic teaching; timetable of the Oriented Teaching; inclusion of the number of students that attends the discipline; the oriented Professors' involvement along the extent of the discipline; the advisor's tutorage. Then, those possible indicators reinforce the idea that the Oriented Teaching becomes a possible path in the academic Professors' education process; that could contribute positively in the quality of the higher education. / Este trabalho de pesquisa está vinculado ao Programa de Pós- Graduação em Educação, da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, inserido na Linha de Pesquisa Formação, Saberes e Desenvolvimento Profissional. A temática de pesquisa envolve a discussão sobre a contribuição da disciplina Docência Orientada para os processos formativos de professores universitários, inferindo possíveis indicadores de qualidade para este nível de ensino. Esta disciplina é oferecida na matriz curricular dos cursos de pós-graduação stricto sensu em educação, nas universidades federais brasileiras. Dessa forma, o objetivo geral desse estudo é compreender de que maneira a Docência Orientada pode contribuir para o processo formativo dos sujeitos em questão. A metodologia é de cunho qualiquantitativo, envolvendo duas dimensões: uma quantitativa, visando traçar um panorama geral da Docência Orientada nas universidades federais brasileiras e um perfil da disciplina na UFSM; e uma qualitativa, através do estudo de caso com alunos e professores do PPGE/CE/UFSM. Assim, com base na análise interpretativa dos dados coletados, desenha-se um panorama que define em termos gerais a Docência Orientada nas universidades federais brasileiras e constrói-se categorias de análise que demonstram como a disciplina apresenta-se na UFSM. Estas são: Formação de professores para o Ensino Superior, Sentimentos frente à Docência Orientada e Influência do Orientador. Portanto, a partir da temática e objetivos dessa pesquisa, as categorias encontradas podem espelhar os seguintes indicadores de qualidade: oportunidade de formação; valorização do professor como pessoa; trabalho conjunto; aprendizagem da docência universitária; carga horária da Docência Orientada; abrangência do número de alunos que realiza a disciplina; envolvimento dos docentes orientados ao longo do desenrolar da disciplina; tutoria do orientador.

Orientador: Cristiano Amaral Garboggini Di Giorgi / Banca: Alberto Albuquerque Gomes / Banca: José Cerchi Fusari / Resumo: Esta dissertação apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada na área de formação de professores que, mais que aprofundar teses, preocupou-se em entender melhor - através da perspectiva dos próprios professores da rede pública estadual - como será a transição de um processo de formação contínua pontual (principalmente através da formação externa à escola) para um processo de formação contínua no local de trabalho docente. A metodologia adotada foi o estudo de caso e os principais instrumentos para a coleta dos dados foram entrevistas reflexivas e grupo focal. A descrição, categorização e análise das falas dos docentes possibilitaram identificar os grandes entraves factuais e psicológicos existentes na realidade e no ideário dos profissionais da área da Educação - maiores impedidores da efetivação da formação contínua em serviço dentro da unidade escolar - e demandaram apontamento de possíveis caminhos a serem trilhados pelas diversas instâncias envolvidas no processo educativo a fim de viabilizar a concretização efetiva desse novo modelo de formação. / Abstract: This study presents the results of a research about teacher's development. More than discuss some theories we intend to try to understand deeply - through the perspective of the teachers who work in public schools - how is the transition from a continuing development process, which is specific (specially through the out-school development), to a continuing development process hold in the school, where the teachers work. The methodology chosen in this study is the case study and the main instruments to collect data were the reflexive interview and focal group. Trough the description, categorization and the analysis of the teachers' speech it was possible to identify the most serious difficulties in terms of facts and the psychological ones that exist not only in our reality but also in the education professionals' minds. These obstacles do not permit the effectiveness of continuing development in the school; they also demand the suggestion of some ways through which different groups involved with the education process can provide the realization of this new model of the teachers' development. / Mestre

Pastaruoju metu Lietuvoje atlikta nemažai tyrimų, kuriuose gilinamasi į specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių mokinių ugdymosi veiksmingumą, mokytojų gebėjimą ugdyti specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių mokinius, atkreiptas dėmesys į specialiųjų pedagogų darbo kokybę. Tačiau išsamiau specialiojo pedagogo darbas kol kas nenagrinėtas. Iškelta hipotezė, kad bendrojo lavinimo mokyklos mokytojai, SUP mokinių tėvai ir patys specialieji pedagogai ne visada palankiai žiūri į specialiojo pedagogo darbą, kartais išsako kritinį požiūrį; specialiojo pedagogo darbas dar ne visiškai tenkina mokytojų ir tėvų lūkesčius. Anketinės apklausos metodu buvo atliktas tyrimas, kurio tikslas - atskleisti, kaip specialiojo pedagogo darbą vertina individualizuoto ugdymo proceso dalyviai (mokytojai, tėvai, specialieji pedagogai). Antriniai (gretutiniai tikslai) - įvertinti specialiojo pedagogo teikiamą pagalbą kiekybiniu aspektu, nustatyti silpniausias specialiosios pedagoginės pagalbos sritis ir būdus specialiojo pedagogo pagalbos efektyvumui didinti.

We present several possible forms of mathematical competitions for University students. One of them is Blitz Mathematical Olympiad. It is a team competition, when all teams receive the same problem and are allotted 10-15 minutes to come up with a solution. This cycle is repeated 6-8 times with different problems. Modern Internet technologies allow us to organize Blitz Mathematical Olympiads for the teams which are in different cities and even countries.

This research thesis focuses on the experiences of pre-service drama teachers and considers how process drama may assist them to reflect on key aspects of professional ethics such as mandatory codes or standards, principled moral reasoning, moral character, moral agency, and moral literacy. Research from higher education provides evidence that current pedagogical approaches used to prepare pre –professionals for practice in medicine, engineering, accountancy, business, psychology, counselling, nursing and education, rarely address the more holistic or affective dimensions of professional ethics such as moral character. Process drama, a form of educational drama, is a complex improvisational group experience that invites participants to create and assume roles, and select and manage symbols in order to create a fictional world exploring human experience. Many practitioners claim that process drama offers an aesthetic space to develop a deeper understanding of self and situations, expanding the participant’s consciousness and ways of knowing. However, little research has been conducted into the potential efficacy of process drama in professional ethics education for pre-professionals. This study utilizes practitioner research and case study to explore how process drama may contribute to the development of professional ethics education and pedagogy.

Orientador: Bernardo Mançano Fernandes / Banca: Maria Encarnação Beltrão Sposito / Banca: Fátima Aparecida Dias Gomes Marin / Banca: Gil Sodero de Toledo / Banca: Sueli Ângelo Furlan / As transformações espaciais ocorridas mundialmente nos últimos anos levaram os intelectuais da Geografia a um amplo debate sobre o significado das categorias lugar, paisagem, território e região. Essas discussões foram introduzidas oficialmente entre os professores do Ensino Básico a partir de meados dos anos de 1990 com a elaboração e implantação dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais para a área da Geografia. No entanto isso não foi o suficiente para que as reflexões realizadas na universidade, a respeito dessas categorias, se concretizassem na prática dos professores que atuam no Ensino Fundamental. Através de uma investigação junto aos professores de Geografia das escolas estaduais da cidade de Marilia detectamos que as discussões existentes no âmbito do Ensino Fundamental, no que diz respeito ao significado das categorias lugar, paisagem território e região, estão muito aquém daquelas realizadas no Ensino Superior. O que aponta para a existência de um desencontro teórico-metodológico entre a Geografia do Ensino Fundamental e a Geografia do Ensino Superior. Na busca de elementos explicativos para essa realidade nos deparamos com profundas contradições existentes no processo de formação continuada dos professores. Objetivando contribuir para uma melhor qualidade do ensino de Geografia, o presente trabalho promove a socialização dos resultados obtidos em nossa investigação. / Abstract: The spatial transformations that have taken place worldwide in the last few years have led intellectuals of Geography to a broad debate about the meaning of the categories of place, landscape, territory and region. These discussions were officially introduced among teacher of Elementary Schools in mid-nineties with the implementation of the National Curriculum Parameters for Geography. However, that was not enough for the reflections made at Universities about these categories to become a reality in the practice of Elementary School teachers. In a research/investigation made with teachers of public schools in the city of Marília, we detected that the existing discussions in Elementary Schools concerning the meaning of the categories of place, landscape, territory and region are far from those made at colleges. This indicates that there is a theoreticalmethodological divergence between Geography taught at Elementary Schools and Geography taught at colleges. Looking for an explanation for this reality, we found profound contradictions in the continuing education process of the teachers. Aiming at contributing to a better quality of the teaching of Geography, this present paper promotes the socialization of the results obtained in our research. / Doutor
