The task of the university professor is a mission and not simply a profession and that is why higher education should be impregnated with values. Nowadays education is articulated into three areas: the State, the Market and the Volunteering, but no one of these three sectors by themselves has covered the needs of all the citizens, there have always been losers, therefore the conjunction of the three sectors became necessary. Communitarianism promotes an ethical-social pact that favors the progress of society without nullifying the individual dimension. It believes that the university is the space where a communitarian consciousness should be promoted to generate a social capital by means of education and it is a privilege place to substantiate the moral identity of the person beginning with the commitment of the professor with the university student. / El quehacer del profesor universitario es misión y no simplemente profesión, por ello la educación superior debe estar impregnada de valores. En la actualidad la educación se articula en tres vertientes: el Estado, el mercado, el voluntariado, pero ninguno de estos tres sectores por separado ha cubierto nunca las necesidades de todos los ciudadanos, siempre ha habido perdedores, haciéndose necesaria la conjunción de los tres sectores. El comunitarismo promueve un pacto socialético que favorezca el progreso de la sociedad sin anular la dimensión individual. Entiende que la universidad es el espacio donde se debe propiciar una conciencia comunitaria para la generación del capital social a través de la docencia, lugar privilegiado para fundamentar la identidad moral de la persona partiendo del compromiso del docente con el universitario.

The aim of the study is to use a phenomenographic approach to highlight how educators in preschool perceive that their absence can affect the phenomenon of collaboration between guardians and educators. The research questions that have been the starting point of the investigation are about how the educators describe their perception of collaboration between preschool and home, how the educators describe their perception of absence among the educators in preschool and how they describe their experience of absence in relation to collaboration. Through a qualitative approach, the survey was conducted in the form of ten individual semi-structured interviews based on a flexible interview guide. The informants consisted of principals, preschool teachers and other educators who work in preschools. The phenomenographic analysis resulted in six categories of description which then form two outcome spaces. The outcome spaces were Educators absence can affect collaboration and Educators absence does not have to have an impact on collaboration. The categories of description and the outcome spaces together highlight the educators perceptions of how the educator's absence can affect the collaboration between preschool and guardians. The result shows a variety of perceptions where the outcome space The absence of educators can affect collaboration summarized into three factors for a non-functioning collaboration, which are absent educators, lack of conditions and insecure relationships. The outcome space Educators absence does not have to have an impact on collaboration was also summarized into three factors for a well-functioning collaboration, which were educators present, good conditions and secure relationships. The conclusion was that the educator's absence in preschool is a contributing factor to the fact that cooperation with guardians is affected. On the other hand, there are clear success factors which mean that absence does not have to affect cooperation. / Studien har som syfte att genom en fenomenografisk ansats belysa hur personal i förskolan uppfattar att deras frånvaro kan påverka fenomenet samverkan mellan vårdnadshavare och personal. Forskningsfrågorna som varit undersökningens utgångspunkt handlar om hur personalen beskriver sina uppfattningar om samverkan mellan vårdnadshavare och personal, hur personalen beskriver sina uppfattningar om frånvaro bland personalen i förskolan samt hur de beskriver att de erfarar frånvaron i relation till samverkan. Undersökningen har genom en kvalitativ ansats genomförts i form av tio enskilda semistrukturerade intervjuer som utgick från en flexibel intervjuguide. Informanterna bestod av rektorer, förskollärare och barnskötare som arbetar inom förskolan. Den fenomenografiska analysen resulterade i sex beskrivningskategorier som sedan utgör två utfallsrum. Utfallsrummen blev Personalens frånvaro kan ha en påverkan på samverkan och Personalens frånvaro behöver inte ha en påverkan på samverkan. Beskrivningskategorierna och utfallsrummet belyser tillsammans personalens uppfattningar om hur personalens frånvaro kan påverka samverkan mellan förskola och vårdnadshavare. Resultatet visar en variation av uppfattningar där utfallsrummet Personalens frånvaro kan påverka samverkan sammanfattats till tre faktorer för en icke-välfungerande samverkan vilket är frånvarande personal, bristande förutsättningar och otrygga relationer. Utfallsrummet Personalens frånvaro behöver inte ha en påverkan på samverkan sammanfattades också till tre faktorer för en välfungerande samverkan vilka var närvarande personal, goda förutsättningar och trygga relationer. Slutsatsen blev att personalens frånvaro i förskolan utgör en bidragande faktor till att samverkan med vårdnadshavare påverkas. Däremot finns det tydliga framgångsfaktorer som gör att frånvaro inte behöver påverka samverkan.

This work has been developed on the Research Area of Professional Development Knowledge of the Master Programm In Education at Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM- Brazil). The aim of this study is to investigate the body-voice relation on the teaching practice of educators that work with children in the beggining years. The body-voice relation is a mediator of their professional exercise and this study also analyses the perception these teachers have about their use of body and voice on teaching practice. The studies of Pacheco (1995), Tardif (2002), Schon (2000) have been the theoretical supports of this research. The methodology used is qualitative and the study method is the case study, with a multi-case approach. Three teachers of the beggining years in a public school participate of this research. To the better understanding of the teachers perception, the instruments of research were: observation, half-structured interview, diary, filming of classes, stimulated remembrance interview. For data systematization we chose the following aspects: (1) the perception of the teachers about their voice; (2) the perception of the teachers about their body; (3) the body and the voice of the teachers in the classroom, teaching. These aspects were essential to construct the analysis categories that constitute the final results. The conceptions and perceptions of the teachers about their voices and their bodies and the body-voice relation as a mediator instrument of their practice is a slowly constructed way. We believe this research may contribute as a possibility of construction of the teacher s practice / Este trabalho foi desenvolvido na Linha de Pesquisa Formação Saberes e Desenvolvimento Profissional do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação (UFSM) O objetivo da pesquisa foi investigar a relação corpo-voz na docência das professoras de anos iniciais do ensino fundamental como instrumento mediador de seu exercício profissional, bem como analisar a percepção que esses professores possuem a respeito do uso do corpo e da voz na docência. Os estudos de Pacheco (1995), Tardif (2002), Schon (2000) constituíram alguns dos suportes teóricos deste trabalho. A abordagem metodológica caracterizou-se como qualitativa e o método foi o de estudo de caso, com abordagem multicasos. Participaram desta pesquisa três professoras dos primeiros anos do ensino fundamental em docência na escola pública. A fim de melhor compreender as percepções das professoras, os instrumentos de coleta de dados utilizados foram: observação, entrevista semi-estruturada, diário de campo, filmagem das aulas das professoras, entrevista de estimulação de recordação. Para levantamento e sistematização dos dados mapeou-se os seguintes tópicos: (1) a percepção das professoras acerca da voz; (2) a percepção das professoras acerca do corpo; (3) o corpo e a voz das professoras na docência em sala de aula. Esses tópicos foram essenciais para a construção das categorias de análise que constituíram os resultados finais. Desta forma, foram sendo construídos os caminhos que revelaram as concepções e percepções das professoras sobre o corpo e a voz e a relação corpo-voz como instrumentos mediadores de suas práticas docentes. Entende-se o corpo e a voz como instrumentos mediadores da prática do professor em sala de aula e parte do conhecimento prático do professor. Acredita-se que esta pesquisa possa contribuir com reflexões para a formação de professores e como possibilidade de construção nas práticas docentes

The qualitative research, subsidized by the theory of Experiential Learning and by the dimensions studied in the field of Didacticism through systemic reflection and practice, was developed from the method of content analyses, having the following as its instruments: documents made available through an educator s development course, via online education, and via contents co-developed through interviews with teachers, students and one of the coordinators to the course investigated. The studies developed show that the adult learns with effect from experiences developed through cycles, within an upward spiral, throughout their lives. These cycles are experienced starting from the concept of convergent plasticity to organic working, from social integration, and from individual development built by biopsycho- socio aspects. The plasticity is the base element for the human organism due to its adaptability, suitability and transformation, and all the elements related to human learning have to be coherent with such premise. The online learning environments used for the development of educators should, within didactic strategies, see We tried, in the light of the data interpreted and the theories studied, to propose teaching strategies for the construction of an online Didacticism that can favor the educator s apprenticeship / A presente tese tem por objetivo desenvolver uma investigação sobre a aprendizagem do adulto, especificamente do educador, e buscar estratégias didáticas que auxiliem o desenvolvimento desse processo em ambientes de educação a distância on-line. A pesquisa qualitativa, subsidiada pela teoria da aprendizagem experiencial e pelas dimensões estudas pela área da Didática, numa reflexão e prática sistêmicas, se desenvolveu a partir do método análise de conteúdo, tendo como instrumentos: documentos disponibilizados num curso de formação de educadores, via educação a distância on-line, e conteúdos co-construídos por meio de entrevistas com professores, alunos e uma das coordenadoras do curso investigado. Os estudos desenvolvidos revelaram que o adulto aprende a partir de experiências que se desenvolvem por meio de ciclos, em espiral crescente, ao longo de sua vida. Estes ciclos são vivenciados a partir do conceito de plasticidade convergentes ao funcionamento orgânico, às integrações sociais, ao desenvolvimento individual, co-construídos por aspectos bio-psico-socio-educacionais. A plasticidade é o elemento fundante do organismo humano por sua possibilidade de adaptação, adequação e transformação e todos os elementos que envolvem a aprendizagem humana devem ser coerentes com tal premissa. Os ambientes de aprendizagem on-line utilizados para a formação de educadores devem buscar nas estratégias didáticas encaminhamentos para que o processo de aprendizagem contribua para o desenvolvimento do adulto integrado / autônomo. Procurou-se, à luz das interpretações dos dados e das teorias estudadas, propor estratégias de ensino para a construção de uma Didática on-line que favoreça a aprendizagem do educador

The UNAIDS report on the global AIDS epidemic (2010:9-11), stated that for the estimated 33.3 million people living with HIV, sub-Saharan Africa has a staggering 22 500 000: South Africa having the highest figure of 5 600 000. The question arises: Why has HIV/AIDS spread faster in Africa than on any other continent, despite similar international strategies? The challenge in Africa is that several HIV/AIDS beliefs and misconceptions distorting management of HIV/AIDS. South African learners receive HIV/AIDS education from the school culture, community, government and the international community, whereas they should be partners in collaborative education: yet, they are not. The research finding indicated that for effective educational strategies, education managers should be aware of these different voices affecting HIV/AIDS education. Education managers should be the main voice in dealing with this menacing epidemic. Countries that have approached HIV/AIDS scientifically and speak with one voice successfully reduced their HIV/AIDS statistics. / Educational Leadership and Management / M. Ed.
