Přístup učitelů gymnázií k přípravě studentů na přijímací zkoušky z biologie na vybrané vysoké školy / Prague Grammar School Teacher's Approach to their Student's Preparation for Biology Admission Exams to Chosen UniversitiesHajžmanová, Tereza January 2018 (has links)
Title: Prague grammar school teacher's approach to their student's preparation for biology admission exams to chosen universities Author: Bc. Tereza Hajžmanová Department: Department of Biology and Enviromental studies Supervisor: RNDr. Lenka Pavlasová Ph.D. Abstract: Students' preparation for biology and science studies on the university level is highly influenced by their biology teachers. Therefore it is very important to know the facts about this preparation: for example, how often it takes place, in which ways, which methods teachers consider successful, if they tailor the content of their lessons to the requirements of certain universities etc. By compiling a list of universities providing biology centred programs and by determining the level of applicants' success in these fields, I identified the most popular biology programs. Subsequently, the requirements of admission tests of these programs were analysed in order to maximize the success of the applicants. From these data, educators can learn how to prepare their students. The practical part of this thesis contains a research: I approached 186 biology teachers at Prague grammar schools with a questionnaire survey. Using these questionnaires I came up with the data showing how and under what conditions they prepare their students for admission...

Previous issue date: 2007 / Resumo: Este trabalho visa investigar se a prova de língua inglesa do vestibular da Universidade Federal do Paraná causa efeitos retroativos no ensino dessa língua, em escolas públicas e privadas de nível médio e cursos pré-vestibulares, e, em caso positivo, determinar quais são esses efeitos. Para atingir tais objetivos, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa qualitativa interpretativista de cunho etnográfico, na qual puderam ser ouvidas diversas vozes da comunidade escolar: escolas públicas (urbanas e rurais) e particulares, bem como cursos pré-vestibulares (particulares e gratuitos). Na busca de multiperspectivas sobre o fenômeno, procurou-se escolher os cenários que levassem em conta a grande desigualdade social do país, e incluíssem, como participantes, a maioria dos stakeholders (pessoas ligadas ao fenômeno direta ou indiretamente) para, ao final, triangularem-se os dados coletados. Além de entrevistas dos participantes, aulas de professores também foram observadas. Os resultados deste estudo mostram que o efeito retroativo da prova de inglês do vestibular da UFPR não ocorre nas escolas públicas. O que direciona o ensino desses cenários são os livros didáticos que cada escola adota. No entanto, pudemos perceber a existência do efeito retroativo nos outros cenários ¿ escolas particulares e cursos pré-vestibulares ¿, ora exercendo efeitos positivos (motivação dos diretores e professores para buscar informações sobre o exame; motivação dos alunos para estudar mais a disciplina e passar no exame; direcionamento de ementas e construção de objetivos claros; incentivo ao ensino da leitura), ora negativos (estreitamento do currículo; ansiedade dos sujeitos dos cenários). Verificou-se também que o efeito retroativo ocorreu aí em intensidades diferentes, pois interferiram no fenômeno fatores como: informações que os professores tinham sobre o exame; concepções de língua, leitura e avaliação desses professores; nível de conhecimento de língua inglesa desses profissionais; cobrança dos diretores e do grupo social (os pais e alunos); chances de aprovação, dentre outros. O que direcionou o ensino desses cenários foi o programa oficial do exame de vestibular da UFPR. Este estudo oferece contribuições teóricas ao proporcionar melhor entendimento do conceito efeito retroativo; contribuições metodológicas, por seu desenho investigativo inovador e abrangente; e, finalmente, contribuições práticas, enquanto um conjunto de subsídios para o ensino e avaliação de língua inglesa no ensino médio / Abstract: The objective of this thesis is to investigate if the English test of the University Entrance Examination of UFPR sets off the washback effect in the teaching/learning of the language in public and private high schools as well as cramming courses and, if so, what effects were they. In order to meet these objectives a qualitative interpretativist investigation was conducted in which various voices of the school community were heard such as the participants of public schools (urban and rural), the private schools and the cramming courses (private and free ones). Since there was an intention of having a multiperspective of the phenomenon, the scenarios were chosen because of the great social inequalities of this country and, therefore, many stakeholders (participants who were directly or indirectly involved in the phenomenon) were selected to be interviewed. The data was triangulated, analyzed and discussed. Besides the interview, class observations were included. The results of this study show that there was no washback effect of the English test of the University Entrance Examination of UFPR in public schools. What helped set the teaching goals of the discipline were the contents suggested in the didactic books adopted in each school. In the other scenarios, the washback effect was observed. The positive effects were the motivation of the directors and teachers to search for information about the test; motivation of the students to study harder to pass the test; the test was used to set clear teaching objectives and reading began to be taught. The negative effects were: anxiety of the participants of some scenarios and curriculum narrowing. Different intensities of the washback effect were observed because there were other factors which interfered in the phenomenon such as information teachers had about the test, their concept of language, reading and evaluation, their knowledge of the English language, the directors demanding for the teachers¿ best, the social group (parents and students) demanding for the teachers¿ best and the chances the students had in being approved, among others. The official program of the test was used to guide the teaching/learning of these scenarios. This study offers a theoretical contribution when it helps us understand a bit more about the washback effect; methodological contribution due to the research design which is innovative and broad and, finally, a practical contribution because it intends to offer a set of information which can give support to the teaching and evaluation of the English discipline in high schools / Doutorado / Lingua Estrangeira / Doutor em Linguística Aplicada

School Entrance Test Stress Syndrome in South Korean society : a Challenge to Youth MinistryJeon, Byoungjae January 2016 (has links)
This research aims to construct a strategy for the support and care of students coping with entrance examination and academic stress within the South Korean Youth Ministry, through a relationship-oriented care ministry. For the purpose of this research, the researcher has adopted Osmer's practical theological methodology, and has used focus group interviews, in the context of qualitative research.
The structure of this research is as follows:
Chapter 1 defines essential concepts: it begins with a statement of the problem; it follows with the formulation of the problem and its purpose, the hypothesis of this dissertation, an outline of its structure, a description of various pertinent concepts and the various research tasks.
Chapter 2 looks at university entrance examinations and their role in the education system in South Korean society, and the entrance examination stress that high school students are experiencing as a result of the pressure placed on them by the pressure to excel in the entrance examination. The chapter describes both young people in the local churches, and the life they are facing as a result of the pressure placed on them by entrance examinations in the context of Korean society.
Chapter 3 describes the concept and characteristics of young people, and also provides a general theological foundation for an understanding of the youth ministry in the local church. The chapter also deals with the relationship between caring for and supporting young people, and the youth ministry, as part of the body of Christ, as it occurs in in the local church.
Chapter 4 strives to heed the voices of the young people in South Korean churches who are experiencing some sort of anxiety related to Entrance Examination Stress Syndrome, in order to ascertain precisely what is taking place. The focus group interview results indicate that young people's identities include a belief in being called by God to take the university entrance examination. This interpretation is from a reformed worldview perspective, and was identified by means of dialogue with the social support theory. As a new theological concept, the researcher also establishes the important role of the congregation that cultivates friendship and open channels of communication within its youth ministry, to establish the youths' identity as being called by God to the entrance examination.
Chapter 5 is a discussion of the pragmatic task, which is the last of the four tasks of practical theology presented by Osmer (2008): the process of strategic action. Here, the researcher has attempted to create strategies, based on the relationship-oriented care ministry, to support students facing entrance examinations. These strategies are based on the concept of youths' identity as involving being called by God, and the inclusive congregational approach presented by Nel (2000:77-98). / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2016. / Practical Theology / PhD / Unrestricted

Inequity within Chinese Higher Education with the Focus on Henan ProvinceJi, Zhe 17 May 2016 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of students from China's Henan province regarding inequities they experience in the Chinese higher education system based solely on their geography. Henan students are required to score higher than students from other provinces on the Chinese National College Entrance Examinations (NCEE) in order to apply for admission into Chinese top tier universities. Yet despite having higher scores than their peers from other provinces and meeting all admissions requirements, Henan students have little guarantee of admission. The study systematically reviews the history of the Chinese higher education system to contextualize the impact of current NCEE policies and procedures. The perceptions of six Henan students currently studying in the top tiered Chinese University were gathered using qualitative interviews and explored for commonalities and differences. The students’ responses reveal a range of feelings from anger to acceptance, and even gratitude for the ways the inequities impacted their lives. This work increases our understanding of the link between geography and access to Chinese top tiered university and the effects of that link on students from Henan province. / School of Education; / Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program for Education Leaders (IDPEL) / EdD; / Dissertation;

Previous issue date: 2012-07-05 / The number of disabled students, who have entered the university, in Brazil, since
the beginning of this century, is undergoing a speed growth. It is a change that
follows a global trend that spreads an inclusive education policy and that has had a
profound impact on Brazil, with import results in field researches. This subject has
been highlighted due to the significant amount of disabled students enrolled in
college institutions (IES), although it is still modest the number of studies about it,
especially in what matters the assistance given to the candidates to a university
entrance examination. The aim of this paper is to investigate how effectively Natal s
IES apply the rules established in Brazilian law concerning disabled students,
especially MEC/GM Circular Warning n. 277/96, in what respects the conditions
given to disabled students preparing to enter a college. The investigation followed a
qualitative methodological approach with support on an exploratory study. The data
recollection employed questionnaire, semi-structured interview and documental
analyses, and the data have been organized and assessed following Minayo s (1996)
stages. What concerns the results, it was observed that none of the ten colleges
inquired confirmed to possess places exclusively to disabled candidates; six of them,
however, offer Special Examining Board in the selection process of disabled
candidates. Among eighteen college bills, only two of them offered specific
information related to services and resources offered by IES to the candidates who
ask for especial assistance concerning examination. During the interviews, four
managers avowed the preoccupation in offering an equal selection process, but two
of them proved not dominate the subject. In conclusion, the investigated institutions
managers do not still seem to respect the rule that guarantees to disabled candidates
equal conditions during all the process of the university entrance examination. With
this work, we hope do help changing this focus and contribute to new studies on
disabled persons studying for a degree / O n?mero de pessoas com defici?ncia que tem ingressado no Ensino Superior, no
Brasil, aumentou significativamente no in?cio do s?culo XXI. Essa mudan?a resulta
das discuss?es em torno da implanta??o da pol?tica de educa??o inclusiva no
contexto internacional, inclusive em nosso pa?s, refletindo no campo da pesquisa. A
tem?tica come?a a se destacar impulsionada pelo aumento do n?mero de matr?culas
de estudantes com defici?ncia nas Institui??es de Ensino Superior (IES). No entanto,
a quantidade de estudos ainda ? escassa, principalmente no que se refere ao
atendimento oferecido pelos candidatos com defici?ncia no vestibular das IES.
Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar em que medida as IES da
cidade do Natal-RN est?o seguindo as recomenda??es contidas na legisla??o
brasileira, especificamente a do Aviso Circular N? 277/96-MEC/GM, no que tange ?s
condi??es oferecidas aos estudantes com defici?ncia para o processo seletivo
vestibular. A investiga??o caracteriza-se por uma abordagem metodol?gica
qualitativa do tipo Estudo Explorat?rio. A constru??o dos dados se deu atrav?s da
aplica??o de question?rio, entrevista semiestruturada e an?lise documental, sendo
os dados coletados organizados e interpretados segundo as etapas indicadas por
Minayo (1998). Em rela??o aos resultados, constatou-se que das dez institui??es de
ensino superior que devolveram o question?rio, nenhuma delas possu?a reserva de
vagas para candidatos com defici?ncia e, apenas seis afirmaram oferecer Banca
Especial no processo seletivo para ingresso na gradua??o. Dos dezoito editais
analisados, somente dois apresentavam informa??es claras aos candidatos sobre os
servi?os e recursos oferecidos pela IES a quem solicita atendimento especial para
realiza??o das provas. Dos quatro gestores que participaram da entrevista
semiestruturada, constatou-se que todos revelaram preocupa??o em oferecer um
processo seletivo igualit?rio, mas parte deles n?o demonstrou possuir muito
conhecimento acerca da legisla??o espec?fica. Conclui-se que h? necessidade de os
gestores das institui??es investigadas cumprirem com a legisla??o em vigor
assegurando aos candidatos com defici?ncia o direito de concorrer no processo
seletivo vestibular, em igualdade de oportunidades, em todas as etapas, desde a
inscri??o at? a corre??o final das provas. Espera-se, com esta investiga??o, tamb?m
contribuir para o avan?o das discuss?es e novos estudos em torno do acesso das
pessoas com defici?ncia ao ensino superior

Nesse trabalho, usando como principal referencial teórico os conceitos e a abordagem metodológica proposta por Bourdieu, procurou-se verificar de que forma o vestibular é tratado nos discursos da grande mídia impressa e especializada. Mais especificadamente, qual a relação, de acordo com esses discursos, entre a posse de um diploma de nível superior (em especial diplomas de instituições de maior prestígio, que fazem os vestibulares mais concorridos) e a posição social ocupada pelos indivíduos. A hipótese foi que nesses discursos a escolaridade serviria como uma justificativa de cunho meritocrático para a posição social ocupada pelas pessoas. Para isso foram analisados os cadernos especializados em vestibular e os classificados de empregos dos dois maiores jornais do estado de São Paulo (que são também dois dos três maiores jornais do país): a Folha de S. Paulo e o O Estado de S. Paulo. Com isso pretendeu-se verificar, além da hipótese formulada, uma possível homogeneidade no trato das questões que relacionam escolaridade e mercado de trabalho em destacados veículos da mídia impressa paulista. A pesquisa contemplou também um exercício de observação feito com uma revista do Grupo Abril especializada em educação, o Guia do Estudante Vestibular 2008 e dois exemplares de um suplemento especial da Folha de S. Paulo, o Guia das Profissões 2006 e 2007. O período analisado foi o mais recente possível a partir do início da pesquisa empírica. Assim, os Cadernos Empregos dos jornais Folha de S. Paulo e O Estado de S. Paulo, bem como os cadernos Fovest e Vestibular, dos mesmo jornais, respectivamente, tiveram todas as suas edições do segundo semestre de 2007 analisadas. O que foi possível constatar a partir dos dados obtidos foi uma relação consolidada entre escolaridade e exclusão social. A posse de um ou mais diplomas de nível superior ou até de pós-graduação não foi apresentada nos veículos pesquisados como garantia de ocupação de uma posição social de destaque, nem mesmo de vagas no mercado de trabalho, por mais prestígio social que eles carregassem. Por sua vez, a ausência de pelo menos um diploma com um mínimo de prestígio aparece, na lógica dos discursos difundidos pelos veículos de mídia pesquisados, como um enorme obstáculo para a conquista de uma posição dominante ou destacada na sociedade. Assim, de acordo com o que se apurou nesse trabalho, tem-se nos espaços pesquisados uma inversão do valor social dos certificados escolares causados, ao menos em parte, pelo maior acesso das camadas populares aos diplomas de nível superior. A inflação de diplomas traz consigo uma desvalorização dos mesmos e uma ressignificação de seu papel. Alcançar estágios mais altos de escolaridade continua a ser um fator de distinção social. No entanto, essa distinção não parece mais ser uma distinção positiva que justifica privilégios adquiridos pela elite, mas antes uma distinção negativa onde a ausência de diplomas de níveis superiores de ensino serve para como explicação aceitável para que parcelas significativas da população se vejam condenadas a ocupar posições sociais mais rebaixadas. Foi possível constatar também nos discursos pesquisados uma similaridade entre as mensagens ali difundidas e os discursos de auto-ajuda, de forma que o empenho e o cumprimento de determinadas receitas aparecem como condições fundamentais para se alcançar o sucesso acadêmico e profissional. Dentro dessa lógica, a obtenção de certificados escolares aparece como parte elementar do receituário básico para se conseguir uma melhor posição social exatamente por representar não só o domínio de determinados saberes, mas também por demonstrar empenho e dedicação. / This study, which used as the main theoretical referential the concepts and the methodological approach set forth by Bourdieu, aimed to verify how the entrance examination to universities is treated in the discourses of the mainstream media, printed and specialized, and particularly the relationship, according to those discourses, between the fact the possession of a university degree and the social position occupied by the individual. Our hypothesis was that schooling would be useful as a justification of meritocratic character for the social position occupied by the individual. Therefore, the specialized sections and want- ads of two major newspapers, Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo were analyzed. We had in view to verify, not only the formulated hypothesis but also a likely homogeneity when tackling issues which relate schooling and job market in this medium. Our research also contemplated an observation exercise undertaken along with a magazine from Grupo Abril specialized in entrance examinations: Guia do Estudante 2008 and two editions from Guia das Profissoes 2006 and 2007 (Folha de S. Paulo). The period examined was the most recent one from the outset of the empirical research .Thus, the sections \"want-ads\" of the newspapers Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo, as well as the sections Fovest and Vestibular (Entrance Examinations ), respectively, had all their editions from the second semester of 2007 on analyzed. From data obtained, it was possible to establish a consolidated relationship between schooling and social exclusion. Possession of one or more degrees was not presented in the surveyed vehicles as a warranty that the individual would occupy a position of social prominence, or obtain a position in the job market. . On the other hand, the absence of a diploma appears, in the logic of the discourses, as a major obstacle to the achievement of a dominance or prominence in the society. According to what was found in this study, there has been a reversal of the social value of university degrees caused, at least in part, by a greater access of low- income classes to these diplomas. Diploma inflation causes their devaluation and changes the meaning of their role. Achieving a higher stage of education hasn\'t ceased to be a factor of social distinction. Nevertheless, it does not seem to be any longer a positive distinction that justifies privileges acquired by the elite, but a negative distinction where the absence of diplomas of higher levels of education serves as an acceptable explanation to why significant portions of the population see themselves condemned to occupy lower social positions. It was also possible to ascertain, in the researched discourses, a similarity between the messages presented there and the discourses of self-improvement, so that the commitment and accomplishment of certain norms appear as basic requirements for achieving academic and professional success. The acquiring of school certificates appears as the basic recipe to achieve a better social position precisely because it represents not only the mastering of certain knowledge, but also because it shows commitment and dedication.

Příprava žáků ZŠ ke zkouškám na SŠ / Elementary school pupilsś preparation for the secondary school enterance examinationŠvarcová, Michaela January 2012 (has links)
In this thesis we have tried to analyse 35 different tests, which make our entrance examination specimen sets for Year 5, 7 and 9. Some schools use the services of the 'Scio' company thus these tasks represent 52 written examinations from the subject of Czech language and literature. According to our findings the main emphasis of the tests is put on the lingual parts of the curriculum, especially on orthography. The applicants distinguish the sentences, in which there are (or are not) orthographic errors. They proof to have managed the lexical, morphological and syntactic orthography in simple and complex sentences well, primarily by correction and doing filling-in exercises. Apart from that, the tasks where the applicants have to work with text are used very often. They primarily decide whether the information given results from the particular passage, they examine the verity of the submitted statements about an article, etc. From the linguistic curriculum, the word class and the sentence constituents occur abundantly. Very often the applicant's competence regarding grammatically correct word forms are being tested - the pupils might create or recognize them or complete a part of the text. In many tests, we can find tasks in which the applicants search for synonyms (or antonyms) of Czech originated or...
