Specialized literature associates attitudes considered important to guarantee democratic legitimacy, such as political participation willingness with citizens’ self-recognition of their potential to influence the public sphere. As well, it emphasizes that increasing formal years of study, particularly higher education, as influential on the development of such attitude, also known as internal  political effectiveness.I propose to analyze the educational mechanisms that could explain this relationship; questioning for the Peruvian context if accumulating years in higher education would be enough to understand it. Through multiple regression models, and using the data of a survey applied to Peruvian students from a private university, this article seeks to identify if having more semesters in university would be an influencing factor on higher levels of internal political efficacy or if the experience in a course aimed at challenging students about their citizenship would be more relevant. The results indicate, for the sample selected, that the latest would have a positive and significant effect on their self-recognition as subjects of power from a democratic perspective / unlike the number of accumulated academic semesters. / La literatura especializada asocia diversas actitudes consideradas importantes para garantizar la legitimidad democrática, como la disposición hacia la participación política con el reconocimiento de la ciudadanía sobre sus posibilidades de ejercer influencia en la esfera pública. A su vez, se destaca que, a mayor cantidad de años de estudios formales —particularmente de educación superior—, mayores los niveles de dicha actitud, conocida como eficacia política interna. Propongo ahondar en el análisis de los mecanismos educativos que podrían explicar dicha relación, cuestionando para el contexto peruano si es que acumular años de educación superior resulta suficiente para comprenderla. Partiendo del análisis de una encuesta aplicada a estudiantes de una universidad privada peruana, y aprovechando modelos de regresión múltiple, se analiza si es que más semestres de estudios en la educación universitaria influiría en el desarrollo de mayores niveles de eficacia política interna, o si la experiencia en un curso orientado a interpelar a los estudiantes sobre el ejercicio de su ciudadanía tendría mayor relevancia.Los resultados indican, para la muestra seleccionada, que lo segundo tendría un efecto positivo y significativo en su autorreconocimiento como sujetos de poder desde una perspectiva democrática, a diferencia de la influencia del número de semestres académicos acumulados.

This research set out to explore the educational and socio-cultural experiences of DRC immigrant students in South African schools. Utilising a qualitative case study approach, the study attempted to provide a glimpse of the lived experiences of DRC immigrant students inside South African schools by exploring the following aspects: (1) academic performance, (2) schooling experiences, (3) linguistic disposition, (4) acculturation experiences and (5) how the students constructed their identities within South African society. The theoretical framework applied to this study was threefold in nature, namely Cultural Ecological Theory, Culture-Centred Theory and Critical Race Theory. The Major findings emanating from this study were: First, Cultural Ecological Theory could not explain the low academic performance of DRC immigrant students. Second, DRC immigrant students experienced acts of prejudice, isolation, linguistic adjustment incapability and xenophobic attacks. Third, acts of racism were prevalent at the school because teachers who taught them brought in African languages to explain lessons in class to indigenous students at their expense. Fourth, they were confronted by disrespectful modes of behaviour emanating from indigenous students to teachers. Fifth, the opportunity they had at the school, in terms of having access to education without being able to pay tuition fees, likely became their source of low academic achievement. The school had rapid turnover of teachers because the school governing body could not afford to pay additional teachers. Sixth, the students were exposed to uncommon modes of behaviour originating from indigenous students, in terms of gambling and smoking at the school. Seventh, they were exposed to display of weapons by indigenous students. Eight, the incorporation of culture into their academic work at school seemed to enhance their focus on learning. Ninth, they could not commence acculturation and identity negotiation in mainstream culture. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Curriculum Studies / unrestricted

Teacher stories were once relegated to informal gatherings but more recently this aspect of teacher development is being carefully studied in more formalized settings because it is believed to be an important part of teacher development. New ways are being sought to use various aspects of storytelling to help pre-service teachers develop important teaching skills through reflection on experience, dialogue journals, case studies and autobiography. Despite these efforts at the university level, it is especially difficult for pre-service teachers to integrate and apply theories from their methods courses to actual classroom practice. Less effort has been focused on storytelling processes that may occur outside these formal approaches. This study, therefore, looked at how pre-service teachers used stories told in an informal setting to process aspects of learning to teach. This study revealed that pre-service teachers engage in story telling for reasons and in ways that are different from teacher educator intents. Using interviews and private dialogues, patterns of when, how and why six pre-service teachers used oral stories emerged that illuminate challenges to using personal and appropriated stories in coursework. The findings of this study include how oral storytelling is used by pre-service teachers to process emotion and demonstrate specific identities and personal characteristics.

Abstract A WATERSHED MOMENT: IMPLEMENTING STATE ENVIRONMENTAL LITERACY POLICY INTO A CENTRAL VIRGINIA SCHOOL DISTRICT By Melinda J. VanDevelder, Ph.D. A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Virginia Commonwealth University. Virginia Commonwealth University, 2018 Director: Charol Shakeshaft, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Educational Leadership Policy goals may be impossible to achieve at the classroom level (Ravitch, 2014), as policy depends on those who implement it (Lipsky, 1980). The purpose of this research was to investigate how the voluntary environmental educational executive order, EO42, was implemented and executed in a Central Virginia Public School district. The requirements of EO42 were former Virginia Governor MacAuliffe’s response to a multi-state policy he signed called the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement, which called for all Virginia public education schools to implement Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs) with students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Interviews of state educational and environmental policy-makers indicated EO42 was a hurried process that came without funding and which was done, in large part, to make a political statement. An interview of the Central County Public School’s science specialist portrays the practices used with local environmental outreach educators in order to prepare 64 middle and high school science teachers to implement MWEE lessons required by EO42 for the 2015-2016 school year. A 2 x 2 Chi-squared analysis done on data collected from teacher surveys indicated a statistically significant difference [Chi-squared (1 d.f.) = 4.17, p < 0.05] between teachers’ professional development attendance and teachers’ perceived ability to complete a MWEE lesson with their students. Analyzed teacher survey data also indicates that teachers who had attempted MWEEs in prior years were more likely to attempt a MWEE with their students [t (61) = -2.846, p = 0.006] than were teachers who had not. Though 83% of teachers reported completing a MWEE with the majority of their students, analysis of teacher-reported lessons indicated that only 22% of teachers completed the four components required of a MWEE (environmental issue definition, an outdoor field experience, an action project, and project synthesis and conclusion). Results indicate that there is much work to be done when introducing new policy into secondary schools (Ball, Maguire, & Braun, 2012).

No processo investigativo foram utilizados questionários exploratórios e entrevistas semidirigidas com o intuito de construir um corpus de análise baseado nas argumentações de professores licenciados em química. A discussão teórica é sustentada pelos estudos de John Dewey, que valoriza a experiência prática pessoalno sentido de aproximar a educação escolar ao contexto social do aluno através de experiências educativas. O processo de análise foi orientado por Zymanskiet al. (2010), que nos levou a organização de temas apriori, conforme as questões de pesquisa e, à elaboração de categorias emergentes dos assuntos comuns diante dos relatos dos entrevistados. A análise desses relatos evidencia que os professores pesquisados valorizam a organização de atividades em espaços não formais como forma de mostrar ao aluno as diversas aplicações da química no dia-a-dia, de levar o aluno à vivência de uma experiência prática que possa promover discussões sobre questões de segurança do trabalho, visualização de processos industriais, entre outros temas, e motivá-los a buscar aprendizados que muitas vezes podem ser inibidos pela realidade escolar atual. Todavia, esses professores enfatizam que as atuais condições de trabalho nas escolas oferecem diversos entraves, que dificultam a adoção desse tipo de atividade, das quais foram mencionados, com bastante ênfase, a falta de verba nas escolas para tais visitas, o número elevado de alunos por turma e a falta de apoio de outros profissionais. Percebemos ainda, que o Centro de Ciências da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora desempenhou papel importante para a formação inicial e continuada de duas das professoras investigadas. A maioria dos entrevistados reforçou a relevância do espaço pelas condições adequadas em permitir que experiências pudessem ser realizadas de forma segura e agradável para os visitantes. Ao final, podemos inferir que fica claro que a integração entre diversasestratégias educativas podem propiciar diferentes abordagens para que o aluno possa perceber que a linguagem química pode ser também uma forma de leitura do mundo cotidiano que nos permite reflexões sobre nosso mundo real. / This dissertation characterizes the report of an investigation carried out throughout my masters whose goal was centered on the relevance of non-formal settings for the enrichment of the education in chemistry. In the investigative process surveys were used in some exploratory and semi-structured interviews in order to build a corpusof analysis based on the arguments of licensed teachers in chemistry. The theoretical discussion is supported by studies of John Dewey, who values personal practical experience in order to bring the school education into the social context of the student through educational experiences. The analysis process was guided by Zimanskiet al. (2010), which led us to organize themes, according to the research questions and the development of emerging categories of common issues before reports of respondents. The reports analysis shows that the surveyed teachers valorize the planning of activities in non-formal spaces as a way to show to the student the various applications of chemistry in usually basis to lead them to the practical experience that can promote discussions on issues of job security, visualization of industrial processes, among others, and, finally, motivate them to seek lessons that can often be inhibited by current educational reality. However, these teachers emphasize that current working conditions in schools offer many obstacles that hinder the adoption of this type of activity, which have been mentioned in the interviews in a quite emphatically way; the lack of resource funding in schools for such visits, the high number of students per class and the lack of support from other professionals could be pointed out. We noticed also that the Science Center of UFJF played an important role for the initial and continuing training of two teachers investigated. Most respondents stressed the importance of that space for suitable conditions to allow experiments that could be performed in a safe way and be enjoyable for visitors. At the end, we can infer that it is clear that the integration of different educational strategies may provide different approaches to the student to realize that the chemical language can also be a way of reading the everyday world that allows us to thinking about our real world.

Cette recherche a pour but d’étudier le rapport à l’école et à la scolarisation de parents d’élèves récemment immigrés au Québec. Plus précisément, elle étudie les représentations sociales (RS) de ces parents sur les systèmes scolaires de leurs sociétés d’accueil et d’origine ainsi que les stratégies qu’ils déploient pour soutenir l’expérience socioscolaire de leurs enfants dans le contexte scolaire québécois. L’originalité de notre étude réside à la fois dans le recours aux RS pour étudier le rapport à l’école des parents, dans la considération de leur situation prémigratoire et dans le croisement de deux points de vue sur la situation d’intérêt, soit celui de parents récemment immigrés ainsi que d’intervenants et d’intervenantes communautaires scolaires interculturels (ICSI). Ancrée dans une démarche qualitative interprétative exploratoire, notre collecte de données s’est faite auprès de six ICSI (6) et de vingt-cinq parents d’élèves québécois récemment immigrés (25). Les deux groupes de sujets ont été rencontrés dans le cadre d’entrevues semi-dirigées. La technique d’associations libres a aussi été mise à profit auprès des parents, afin de favoriser l’accès à la complexité de leurs RS (Carassus et Dosquet, 2010; Vidal, Rateau et Moliner, 2006). Selon nos résultats de recherche, les RS des parents récemment immigrés sur le système scolaire québécois s’ancrent plus largement dans leur expérience migratoire : motifs d’immigration et conditions d’établissement expérimentées dans la société d’accueil. Aussi, nos résultats ont montré la pertinence de structurer les RS des parents autour de quatre grands thèmes : l’intégration scolaire, sociale et professionnelle assurée par l’école; le développement intellectuel et la forme scolaire; divers enjeux de socialisation véhiculés à l’école et dans la société québécoises; les relations école-familles immigrantes. Dans ce sens, bien que les parents mettent en contraste divers éléments des systèmes scolaires de leurs sociétés d’accueil et d’origine, leurs RS du système scolaire québécois sont surtout ancrées dans des perspectives d’avenir pour leurs enfants, interpellant fortement la capacité de l’école à intégrer ces derniers dans les milieux scolaires et socioprofessionnels de la société d’accueil. Aussi, nos données convergent vers le désir de nombreux parents que le capital humain de leurs enfants soit actualisé à leur plein potentiel dans le contexte migratoire. Nos résultats montrent aussi l’ancrage de l’école à un moment et dans un espace donnés, alors que les RS des parents illustrent souvent des valeurs socioculturelles véhiculées à l’école québécoise et des modalités des relations école-familles pas toujours connues des parents récemment arrivés au Québec. Le croisement des regards des parents et des ICSI révèle aussi de nombreuses stratégies mobilisées par les parents récemment immigrés pour soutenir l’expérience socioscolaire de leurs enfants dans la société d’accueil que nous avons catégorisées ainsi : stratégies déployées «à la maison», stratégies déployées «à l’école» et stratégies déployées «en lien avec la communauté». Nos résultats tendent à montrer que l’actualisation du rôle de parent d’élève «à l’école» est soumise à des modalités plutôt instituées par le milieu scolaire. Aussi, les résultats de notre recherche mettent en lumière un décalage intéressant entre la mobilisation et la proactivité accrues de nombreux parents récemment immigrés ainsi que l’invisibilité de ces dernières pour le milieu scolaire, surtout lorsque les stratégies sont déployées dans l’intimité du milieu familial ou dans des contextes liés à la communauté. Le croisement des données recueillies auprès des parents et des ICSI permet aussi de préciser les besoins d’accompagnement des parents récemment immigrés pour une meilleure maîtrise des enjeux du milieu scolaire de la société d’accueil et permet de faire ressortir des pratiques des milieux scolaires et communautaires qui semblent soutenir cet accompagnement. De manière générale, nos résultats convergent vers la pertinence d’accorder une plus grande considération aux parents dans le processus d’intégration des enfants récemment immigrés à l’école du Québec et de favoriser l’établissement de relations école-familles ancrées dans une perspective de partenariat. Enfin, il semble que l’école ne puisse arriver à elle seule à soutenir l’intégration des familles récemment immigrées dans le milieu scolaire québécois ainsi que la réussite scolaire des enfants et que les ICSI représentent des ressources stratégiques à cet égard. / This research aims to study newcomer students’ immigrant parents’ relationship in regards to school and education in Quebec. Specifically, we examined these parents’ social representations (SR) with respect to the host and home societies’ school systems as well as the strategies they deploy to support their children’s educational experience in Quebec’s school context. The originality of our study lies in the use of the SR concept to explore the relationship between newcomer parents in Quebec and school, the consideration of their premigratory situation and, in crossing two views on the situation of interest: newcomer immigrant parents and community, education and cross-culture worker (CECW). In the context of a qualitative interpretative exploratory approach, our data collection was done with six CECW (6) and twenty-five newcomer students’ immigrant parents in Québec (25). In both cases, we have made semi-structured interviews. Also, to access the complexity of SR, we used the technique of free associations with the parents (Carassus & Dosquet, 2010; Vidal & al., 2006). According to our results, parents’ representations of school system in Quebec were mostly based on their migratory experience: reasons for migrating and conditions of establishment in the host society. Also, our results revealed the pertinence to structure parents' SR around four main themes: children’s school, social and professional integration into the host society; intellectual development and school structure; various socialization issues conveyed into school and into society; relationship between school and immigrant families. In this regard, although parents compare various elements between school in the host and home societies, their SR of school in Quebec are generally related to the future of their children, and these SR highly raise school’s ability to integrate their children in the school and socio-professional contexts. Also, our data converge to express many parents’ the desire to see their children’s human capital being at its full potential in the migratory context. Our results also shows that school is rooted in a specific context, while the parents’ SR often illustrate socio-cultural values conveyed in Quebec’s school, and while the terms of relationship between school and families are not always known by immigrant parents. These two points of view - those of parents and CECW -, when put into perspective, also reveals the several strategies mobilized by immigrant parents to support their children's educational experience in the host society. These strategies have been categorized as follows: strategies deployed "at home", "in school" and "with community". Our results suggest that the actualisation of the role of "in school" students’ parents is subject to some terms imposed by school. Also, our results highlight an interesting gap between parents mobilization and proactivity to support their children, and the fact that their actions are invisible for school, especially when strategies are deployed in the privacy of the family environment, or in collaboration with the community. Putting into perspective these two points of view also led us to clarify the support needed by newly immigrated parents to manage different issues related to school and schooling in the host society. Also, we have been able to identify practices deployed by school and community that are likely to support newly immigrated parents in the school context. Overall, our results converge to the pertinence of giving greater consideration to parents in their children’s integration process in Quebec’s school and on the necessity of encouraging greater partnerships between school and families. Finally, it seems that school cannot ensure on its own the integration of newcomer immigrant families and the academic achievement of newly immigrated students in Quebec's schools. In this regard, ICSI seem to be strategic resources.

This research set out to explore the curriculum experiences of French-speaking students in a private tertiary education institution. The study was qualitative in nature and utilized narrative inquiry and the case study approach. Data-gathering methods included a blend of semistructured interviews, document analysis, participant observation and field notes. Data analysis employed content and thematic analyses. Findings that emerged from the study were seven-fold: First, the academic experiences of French-speaking students from pre-degree to third-year degree programme entailed a rigorous negotiation with the LoLT. They negotiated the pre-degree route to mainstream degree programme due to non-compliance with academic standards set for higher education. Second, French-speaking students negotiated the pre-degree route to mainstream degree programme because their curricula of study, while they negotiated secondary school education in French-speaking countries were not recognized by most South African public universities. Third, French-speaking students experienced a number of hidden curriculum experiences which were not visible but influenced the planned, enacted and assessed curricula. Fourth, the deportment of lecturers was a useful asset. Lecturers were sourced from different sociocultural perspectives of the world. The impact of lecturers’ deportment led to commitment to achieve excellence and dedication towards student learning. Fifth, the use of Zulu, Sotho and sporadic use of Afrikaans languages by lecturers became sociocultural experiences of French-speaking students. The impact of this was felt by French-speaking students when they took a longer time to negotiate transition from French-speaking to English-speaking. The rate at which white lecturers spoke and the unfamiliar accents of black South African lecturers became important aspects of experiences they negotiated at Montana College. Sixth, learning ensues when there is a hybridization of the three sociocultural factors namely language of communication, acculturation to the domain of influence and mediated identity. Seventh, it was found that power relations manifested themselves in different perspectives at Montana College. Lave and Wenger (1991) proposed that power relations exist in the field of education where teachers exercise their roles as facilitators of learning and students see that they are in possession of economic power, by virtue of the fact that they pay fees. Consequently the issues of power relations abound in the form of the “continuity-displacement contradictions” as suggested by Lave and Wenger (1991:115-116). Much new knowledge came to light, especially in terms of the three sociocultural factors (language, acculturation and identity). When these are in a state of redress, there is an emergent learning, depending on the extent of hybridization between the sociocultural factors. The magnitude of learning is conceptualized to depend on the extent of redress or hybridization among the sociocultural factors. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D. Ed. (Curriculum Studies)

This retrospective, nonexperimental, quantitative study was designed to explore nontraditional students’ perceptions of satisfaction with their graduate education experience in a customized transnational educational context. This study was undergirded by theories and concepts gleaned from multiple disciplines. Disconfirmed expectations theory of consumer satisfaction derived from expectancy theory, which describes the motivations and behaviors of consumers who purchase a service but cannot fully evaluate the service until it has been consumed, provided the overarching conceptual framework for the research. This research analyzed data from 62 graduates of a customized, transnational Master of Education program in educational leadership. Participants responded to a quantitative instrument that contained 18 questions related to various aspects of the respondents’ educational experience. The qualitative component involved responding to six open-ended questions. Descriptive statistical analyses were conducted on the quantitative data. The analyses performed include frequency distributions, means and standard deviations, Cronbach’s coefficient alpha, and a correlation matrix for the dependent and independent variables and for the six subcategories. To examine whether differences in satisfaction with specified aspects of the program were reflected in differences in subscale satisfaction, t tests were also conducted. Conventional content analysis was employed to analyze qualitative data. Statistical analyses indicated that participants were satisfied with every aspect of their educational experience. This empirical study contributes to the knowledge bank of student satisfaction in a transnational context. When the particular and peculiar needs of nontraditional learners are considered when designing graduate level programs, institutional accommodations are provided, courses that are relevant to students’ needs are taught by instructors with relevant andragogical skills, the appropriate support systems are in place, and the overall goal is to provide education that is relevant to the personal and career goals of the students, students will be satisfied with their educational experience.

Cette recherche porte sur l’expérience socio-scolaire des jeunes adultes issus de l’immigration d’origine coréenne au Québec, et ce, étudié à travers la question des processus d’identification ainsi que leur rapport à la culture. L’enquête met notamment en évidence l’ambiguïté reliée à l’identité des jeunes coréens et coréennes de minorité modèle. La problématique étudiée porte plus spécifiquement sur le vécu de frontières avec le groupe majoritaire et le sentiment d’appartenance des jeunes adultes issues d’une minorité racisée ayant rarement fait l’objet d’une étude spécifique. Le concept de processus d’identification, avec son caractère dynamique, permet, dans le cadre de cette recherche, de reconnaître le travail de négociation entre, d’une part, la catégorisation et, d’autre part, l’auto-identification. Cette négociation par l’acteur prend notamment place entre les multiples influences ethnoculturelles et les rapports d’oppression raciale auxquels ces jeunes adultes peuvent être confrontés dans leur expérience. En effet, ceux-ci se retrouvent ainsi à la croisée d’un Québec francophone, d’un Canada anglophone, d’une communauté ethnique coréenne, mais également devant divers préjugés racisant contribuant à inférioriser leur origine ethnique. En allant au-delà des portraits statistiques, l’originalité de cette étude tient dans l’analyse exploratoire de l’expérience socio-scolaire – et le sens attribué à cette expérience par les individus – à travers leurs discours construits par l’entremise d’entretiens qualitatifs. La recherche a su montrer que les individus forment des rapports complexes hybrides à leur identification et que la catégorisation par le groupe dominant est constamment négociée en des formes variées de résistance. Cette catégorisation a été vécue par les participant·es sous la forme de pressions ethniques et sociales, d’invalidation et d’exclusion sociale. Les résultats de nos analyses suggèrent également que les transitions d’institution scolaire marquent des moments importants de renégociation des frontières, tout comme la (re)découverte culturelle du pays d’origine de la Corée du Sud. Finalement, le rapport à la culture des participant·es a révélé la place centrale du français et de la blanchité dans l’identité québécoise et le potentiel de remise en question des préjugés et d’ouverture sur la culture que porte la nouvelle vague de culture populaire sud-coréenne à l’étranger. / This research focuses on the socio-educational experience of young adults with an immigration background of Korean origin in Quebec studied through the question of their identification processes as well as their relationship to culture. In particular, the research highlights the ambiguity surrounding the identity of young Koreans from model minority groups. The problematic concerns more specifically the lived experience of borders with the majority group and the feeling of belonging of young adults from a racialized minority that have rarely been the subject of a specific study. The concept of identification process, by its dynamic nature, allows us, within the context of this research, to recognize the work of negotiation between, on one hand, categorization and, on the other hand, self-identification. This negotiation by the actor particularly takes place between the multiple ethnocultural influences and the racial oppressive relationships that these young adults may face in their experience. Indeed, they thus find themselves at the crossroads of a French-speaking Quebec, an English-speaking Canada, a Korean ethnic community, but also faced with various racial prejudices that contribute to inferiorize their ethnic origin. By searching beyond statistical portraits, the originality of this study lies in the exploratory analysis of school experiences – and the meaning attributed to this experience by the individuals – through their discourse constructed with qualitative interviews. This research has shown that individuals form complex hybrid relationships with their identification and that categorization by the dominant group is constantly negotiated through various forms of resistance. This categorization was experienced by the participants as ethnic and social pressures, invalidation, and social exclusion. The results of our analyzes further suggest that transitions between school institutions mark important moments of borders’ renegotiation, and so does the cultural (re)discovery of their origin country of South Korea. Finally, the participants’ relationship to culture revealed the central place of French and whiteness in Quebec’s identity and the potential to question prejudices and to open to culture that holds the new wave of South Korean popular culture South Korean overseas.
