Abstrakt In my thesis I deal with the activation methods. The aim of this is to explain the students given topic using several activation methods with following test, which should give feedback of the results achieved. I wanted to research whether the activation methods affect students knowledge. I also wanted to know the students opinion on those methods and find out, if they are used by teachers of economics. I divided the diploma thesis into two parts, theory and research. In the theoretical part I describe the education on schools of economics, forms of organization, educational methods mainly the activation ones. In research I describe the procedure of my experiment. The crucial part is the analysis of the didactic tests results, which was done by the students and it is completed with the questionnaires results. I point out the impact of using the activation methods in teaching and the benefits for students, who gain the practical knowledge.

Para tal, decidiu-se: conhecer como foi sua trajetória estudantil; identificar sua inserção no mundo do trabalho, conhecer seus conflitos e dilemas e avaliar as eventuais marcas deixadas pelo processo de formação nas formas de inserção profissional. Analisou-se o caminho percorrido trazendo como referencial os pressupostos da avaliação emancipatória, no sentido de tornar visíveis os avanços e vulnerabilidades de um projeto de formação em saúde crítico-reflexivo. A pesquisa foi realizada com egressos, após três anos de formados, sendo utilizada a técnica de entrevista semi-estruturada para a coleta dos dados. Com os dados empíricos, desenvolveu-se a análise de conteúdo na modalidade temática, identificando, como tema central, as contradições do processo de construção do enfermeiro crítico e, como sub-temáticas, os conflitos de ser estudante da FAMEMA e os dilemas da inserção no mundo do trabalho. Os olhares dos egressos evidenciaram que a formação possibilitou construir valores necessários à prática profissional diferenciada, tais como a disposição do aprender a aprender, considerando que a prática é dinâmica e passível de muitas contradições. Possibilitou identificar que a proposta de mudança é um projeto contra hegemônico, necessitando transformações não só no processo de formação, mas na forma de enfrentar os conflitos do mundo do trabalho, que ainda se mantém refém de um modelo de saúde fragmentado / Resume: El objetivo es evaluar el proceso de la graduación del curso del oficio de enfermera de la FAMEMA, en la óptica de los graduados que graduaron en el primero grupo del cambio del currículo. Para tanto, fue decidido: conocer la trayectoria de los estudiantes; identificar su inserción en el mundo de trabajo, conocer sus conflictos y dilemas y evaluar las eventuales marcas dejadas por el proceso de formación en las formas de inserción profesional. El trayecto fue averiguado, trayendo como referencial los presupuestos de la evaluación del emancipación, en el sentido de tornar visibles los avances y vulnerabilidades de um proyecto de formación en salud crítico-reflexivo. La investigación fue hecha con los graduados, tres años después de su formación, usando la técnica de la entrevista semi-estructurada para recoger los datos. Con los datos empíricos, la análisis del contenido fue desarrollado en la modalidad temática, identificando, como tema central las contradicciones del proceso de formación del enfermero crítico y como temas secundários, los conflictos de ser un estudiante en la FAMEMA y los dilemas de la inserción en el mundo del trabajo. Las opiniones de los graduados demostraron que la formación permitió construir valores necesarios para la práctica profesional distinta, tal como la disposición del aprender como aprender, considerando que la práctica es dinámica y sujeta a muchas contradicciones. Fue posible identificar que la propuesta del cambio es un proyecto contra la hegemonía, que necesita transformaciones no sólo en el proceso de formación pero en la manera de hacer frente a los conflictos del mundo del trabajo, que todavía se mantene sujeto a um modelo de salud fragmentado / Abstract: The aim is to evaluate the graduation process of the Nursing Course of FAMEMA from the view of the graduates who graduated in the first group after the curricular change. It was therefore decided: to know the students¿ course; to identify their insertion in the world of work, know their conflicts and dilemmas and evaluate the eventual signs left by the graduation process in forms of professional insertion. The course which was covered was analyzed, bringing the purposes of the emancipating evaluation as reference in order to point out the advances and vulnerability of a critical-reflexive graduation project in health. The research was done with graduates three years after their graduation by using the technique of semi-structured interview to collect the data. The content analysis was developed with the empirical data in the thematic approach, identifying the contradictions of the development process of the critical nurse as the central theme and the conflicts of being a student at FAMEMA and the dilemmas of the insertion in the world of work as sub-themes. The graduates¿ views demonstrated that the graduation enabled to build necessary values for the distinguished professional practice, such as willingness to learn how to learn, considering that the practice is dynamic and subject to many contradictions. It was possible to identify that the proposal of change is a counter-hegemonic project, which needs changes not only in the graduation process but also in the way of coping with the conflicts of the world of work, which is still under a fragmented model of health / Doutorado / Doutor em Educação

Para essa finalidade, houve a triangulação de dados obtidos: I) via pesquisa documental (documentos das instituições, do sistema de ensino e legislação específica); II) via informantes (entrevistas dos participantes e observação in loco); e III) via pesquisa bibliográfica (livros e artigos científicos). A pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa e caracterizada como estudo de casos múltiplos, teve a participação de 30 sujeitos dos vários segmentos institucionais (gestores, docentes, agentes/ monitores, funcionários e pais/ responsáveis), 10 de cada escola. Os objetivos específicos foram: a) investigar como a avaliação institucional tem se expressado na Educação Infantil pública do município; b) apurar limites, possibilidades e reflexos dessa avaliação na qualidade das escolas pesquisadas e na construção da política do município; c) identificar a lógica da avaliação na perspectiva dos entrevistados, em possível aproximação com diretrizes dessa política; d) entender como se estabelecem os pactos pela qualidade entre as instituições e outras instâncias do sistema e entre os próprios sujeitos da escola; e) descrever aspectos de outras instâncias do sistema que, na ótica dos atores locais, também influenciam na qualidade da unidade educacional. A pergunta central visou à identificação de possíveis contribuições da prática às escolas e ao próprio sistema de ensino. A tese advogou que tais experiências possibilitam melhorias às instituições investigadas e à participação de seus atores, oferecendo subsídios para a construção de uma política avaliativa de rede guiada pela qualidade social da Educação. Os estudos demonstraram que a avaliação institucional não pode ser tomada como a grande redentora da escola de Educação Infantil, devido a seus limites. Entretanto, constitui-se instrumento potente para a melhoria da instituição, da atuação de seu coletivo de atores e para o alcance da qualidade desejada. Nas três unidades pesquisadas, ela é tomada como instrumento de planejamento, com foco no futuro, evidenciando a confiança dos sujeitos em sua realização, uma vez que a prática não lhes concede poder, mas lhes proporciona a possibilidade de construir relações onde a titularidade de cada um começa a despontar / Abstract: The present study aimed to investigate the construction and implementation of institutional evaluation in three public institutions Childhood Education of Campinas/ SP, in possible approach to the evaluation policy of the municipality. For this purpose, there was a data triangulation: I) via desk research (documents of the institutions, of the educational system and specific legislation); II) via informants (interviews and observation of local subjects); and III) via literature (books and scientific articles). The research, qualitative and characterized as a multiple case study, was attended by 30 individuals from various segments school (administrators, teachers, instructors, staff and parents), 10 of each school. The specific objectives were: a) to investigate how the institutional evaluation has been expressed in public Childhood Education of the municipality; b) to know limits, possibilities and consequences of this evaluation on the quality of the surveyed schools and on the construction of municipal policy; c) to identify the logic of evaluation from the perspective of local actors, in possible approach with guidelines of this policy; d) to understand how the pacts are established by the quality between the institutions and other instances of the system and between local subjects; e) to describe aspects of other instances of the system that, in the view of local actors, are also responsible for the quality of the school. The central question aimed to identify the possible contributions of practice for schools and for the education system. The thesis advocated that the experiments provide improvements to the institutions investigated and to the participation of its subjects, offering subsidies for the construction of an evaluative policy guided by the social quality of education. Studies have shown that the institutional evaluation can not be taken as the great redemptive institution Childhood Education, due to its limits. However, it constitutes a powerful instrument for the improvement of the institution, the role of collective actors and to achieve the desired quality. In the three institutions, the evaluation is a tool for planning, focusing on the future, showing confidence of local subjects, because the practice does not give them power, but gives them the opportunity to build relationships where the ownership of each begins to emerge / Doutorado / Ensino e Práticas Culturais / Doutor em Educação

This dissertation explores the experiences of nineteen individuals assigned to six collaborative Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) development teams across four university sites. Based on an analysis of these semi-structured interviews and process artifacts, findings reveal that collaborative MOOC development teams are composed of members with cross-campus affiliations who possess distinct knowledge, skills, and attitudes that—when combined with specific resources—facilitate the interdependence needed to effectively collaborate on MOOC curriculum. This research suggests that process behaviors that cultivate empathy and expedite trust among members positively mediate states that emerge from the diversity of power and affiliations commonly found on MOOC teams. Further, these process behaviors and emergent states are found to have an impact beyond the MOOC itself, on faculty behaviors in the classroom, staff behaviors with regards to future curriculum collaborations, and institutional acceptance and promotion of cross-campus collaborations with regards to online learning and collaborative curriculum development. While existing MOOC research has focused on the historical, pedagogical, and technical aspects of MOOC curriculum development, this dissertation contributes to a better understanding of how MOOC teams effectively collaborate to develop curriculum that leverages existing scholarship. This research therefore has implications for advancing scholarship on effective teams, collaborative curriculum design, online learning, and MOOCs, as well as informing practical recommendations for stakeholders engaged in strategically composing and working within collaborative curriculum development teams.

Over the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of adults enrolling in institutions of higher education across America. Adult students presently constitute nearly one-half of all undergraduate enrollment. This influx of adults has generated interest in nontraditional programs, including external degree programs, degree completion programs, and prior learning assessment programs. The purpose of this study was to determine if an association existed between membership in the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) and quality in prior learning assessment services as provided by senior level institutions in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accrediting region. CAEL has been a pioneer in developing adult degree programs and commissioned Urban Whitaker in 1989 to define the standards for quality in such programs. A survey instrument utilizing these standards, principles, and procedures as the criteria for quality prior learning assessment services was mailed to a random sample of CAEL member and non-member institutions in the Southern Association accrediting region. Member and non-member responses were compared utilizing the Chi-square statistical analysis to determine any differences.

Studies have increasingly shown that more parent involvement leads to higher academic achievement for kids. However, studies have also shown a difference in the ability of parents to effectively further their children's interest based on social class. Middle-class parents are described as being able to activate their cultural and social capital in order to further their interests, while working-class and low-income parents have been described as frustrated and marginalized- lacking the ability to activate their capital in a way that benefits themselves and their children. The intent of this study is to explore how parents understand their role in the parent teacher relationship to look for evidence that social class might not be as much of a factor as previous literature suggests when it comes to activation of cultural capital. Building on a study that found some working-class parents were able to activate cultural capital through their conversations with teachers, I wanted to find out if how parents understand and perform their role would offer more insight into how cultural capital is activated. Based on the premise that how parents understand their role in conversation with teachers might be able to affect their ability to activate their cultural capital, I conducted a qualitative interview study to explore how parents of 5th grade elementary students view their role in the parent-teacher relationship. Results of the study show that parents gained confidence in their role through conversations with teachers and that they also gained an increased ability to collaborate and engage in partnership with their childrens' teachers. Confidence in role and collaboration with teachers were seen as indications of activation of cultural capital. In this study, parents were able to activate their cultural capital by having collaborative relationships with teachers 9 out of 10 times, regardless of class background. I draw conclusions that parents in my study developed the ability to activate cultural capital regardless of social class background. Because of this, parents' experience of their relationships with teachers might not be as dichotomous as previous research suggests. My findings suggest that frequency of communication is an important mechanism that contributes to successful parent-teacher relationships. Communication that was particularly helpful included informal conversations and email. The use of email in parent-teacher conversations in particular is an area that deserves further study.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between career education and the career maturity of eighth-grade students as measured by the Attitude Scale and the Competence Test of the Career Maturity Inventory. A posttest only experimental design was used for the study. The subjects were selected from a population of eighth-grade students in a suburban school district in north central Texas and randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. The treatment group had a career education class for forty-five minutes each day for eighteen weeks. The control group selected an additional elective. Multiple t tests were used to test the hypotheses of the study. The hypotheses were grouped into the areas of maturity of career attitudes, maturity of career competencies, sex and career maturity, school and career maturity, and teacher and career maturity.
