Text in Afrikaans / Hierdie proefskrif oor 'n Fundamenteel-agogiese besinning oor die eise van kulturaliteit in 'n multikulturele samelewing beklemtoon kulturaliteit as een van die antropiese grondvorme en die eise dienaangaande om kulturaliteit te realiseer. Die mens is as unieke synde in sy gerelasioneerdheid tot sy medesyndes, sy geofisiese omgewing en die transendentale in-en-aan-die-wereld teenwoordig. As sodanig is hy in gerelasioneerdheid tot die horn omringende besig om 'n leefwereld te stig. Hy doen dit in die tyd en in historiese verbondenheid en in medesynsbetrokkenheid met sy medemens. Sy leefwereldstigting realiseer hy kragtens sy synsfundamentalium van kulturaliteit. Onderliggend aan sy kulturaliteitvergestaltende leefwereldstigting le 'n bepaalde normeen waardesisteem. Hierdie norme en waardes dien as riglyne vir sy Ieefwereldstigtende Dasein. Kulturaliteitvergestalting is ook nie 'n individuele aangeleentheid nie. Die mens stig sy leefwereld saam met medesyndes as gemeenskap-in-struktuur volgens gemeenskaplike norme en waardes. As gemeenskap-in-struktuur organiseer die mens homself as kollektiewe synde in samelewingsinstellings, waaronder die gesin, skool, kerk en staat. Hierdie (en ander) samelewingsinstellings speel 'n funksie-spesifieke rol as moveerder van kulturaliteitvergestalting, wat impliseer dat elke samelewingsinstelling die norme- en waardesisteem van die gemeenskap waarin hy ageer 6f handhaaf 6f bevraagteken en selfs nihileer. Kulturaliteitvergestalting as aangeleentheid wat in die tyd plaasvind, beteken die huidige, post-moderne tegnokratiese era, is die vergestaltingstyd van kulturaliteitvergestalting. 'n Verkenning van die post-moderne era toon dat kulturaliteitvergestalting blootgestel word aan die bedreiginge van die tyd, waaronder die geofiese aftakeling/vernietiging van die aarde as primere vergestaltingsbodem van kulturaliteit, asook antropies-eksistensiele bedreiginge wat die outentieke, waardige menswees as Dasein en Sosein as partikuliere, genormeerde syn erodeer. Hierdie bedreiginge van kulturaliteit figureer as omgewingskending en -vemietiging asook die dehumaniseringstendense van die tegnokratiese tirannie op veral sosio-politieke en sosio-ekonomiese terreine. Om die mens kulturaliteitvergestaltend deur genormeerde leefwereldstigting as kultuurskepping sy Dasein te laat vergestalt, kan verskeie eise as moontlikheidsvoorwaarde gestel word. Die eise geld vir die mens as individu en mens-ingemeenskap en hou verband met die erkenning van sy menswaardigheid, sy norme en waardes op grond waarvan hy sy Dasein kulturaliteitvergestaltend realiseer, asook die bewaring en sinvolle benutting van die geofisiese gegewene as bestaansvoorwaarde vir alle lewe. Slegs dan leef hy voluit. / This thesis highlights culturality as an anthropic fundamentalium and the imperatives governing it in order to realise culturality. Man as unique being is immanent in his relatedness to his fellow human beings, his geophysical environment and the transcendental being in and at the world. As such, man is engaged in creating a life-world within time and historicity and in co-existential engagement with his fellow man. Man realises his life-world in terms of the fundamentalium of being pertaining to his culturality. Underlying his creation of a life-world reflecting his culturality, is a certain system of values/norms operating as guidelines for his Dasein created by his life-world. Shaping culturality is not an individual act. Man with his fellow man as society in structure creates his life-world in terms of common norms/values, organising himself as collective being in social institutions, including the family, school, church and state, which play a function-specific role to actuate the creation of culturality, implying that each one either maintains or questions or even utterly rejects norms/values of the society within which it operates. The creation of culturality as something temporal means that the present post-modem technocratic era serves as a temporal focus for it. Scrutiny of this era shows that the creation of culturality faces threats posed by this very era, among others the geophysical despoiling/destruction of earth as the primary locus for the creation of culturality as well as anthropic-existential threats eroding authentic human dignity as Dasein and Sosein as particular normed being. These threats are manifested as environmental violation and destruction as well as the tyrannic technocratic proclivity towards dehumanization, especially socio-politically and socio-economically. For man to realise his Dasein by normed creation of a life-world as the creation of culture, various imperatives may operate as conditions of potentiality for man individually and socially, relating to his human dignity, the norms/values by which he realises his Dasein through the creation of culturality as well as the conservation and meaningful utilization of the geophysical environment as condition of the geophysical environment as erudition for life. Only then does man fully exist. / Educational Studies / D.Ed. (Filosofie van die Opvoeding)

My purpose in Part I is to develop a model of general mathematical education: that is, to identify aims appropriate to a course of mathematical education which forms part of a programme of general education. To do so presumes, of course, that it is possible to justify both the inclusion of mathematics-related aims and content in the curriculum, and their organisation around a unit entitled 'mathematics'. I will offer arguments for both these presuppositions, as well as for my model of general mathematical education.

This study demonstrates the lack of meaning in contemporary society. Modern youth is confronted by numerous factors contributing towards a meaningless life. Because the child has an existential yearning for menning, he needs the pedagogic guidance of a (Christian) educator to assist him to constitute his own life-world and, in particular, to enable him to attain a meaningful existence via the acquisition of a Christian philosophy of life. The study reveals the role of education with regard to the various components of constituting a life-world and the overall task of the school and its curriculum. The significance of a Christian philosophy of life in helping the child to constitute a life-world through education is demonstrated with special reference to various aspects of adulthood (modes of human existence) and certain meaningful relationships. / Educational Studies / M.

Acompanha: Caderno pedagógico: as oficinas na formação continuada de professores: uma estratégia a partir do pró-letramento matemática para a construção do conceito de frações. / O presente estudo teve como objetivo contribuir na formação de professores dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental a partir de oficinas pedagógicas baseadas no fascículo de frações do Programa de Formação Continuada Pró-Letramento Matemática. A pesquisa foi realizada no ano de 2011, em um curso de 30 horas para 16 professores do 2º ano do 2º ciclo (antiga 4ª série) do Ensino Fundamental de 9 anos da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Ponta Grossa. Do ponto de vista metodológico, o estudo inseriu-se em uma pesquisa interpretativa de natureza qualitativa e finalidade aplicada. Para coleta de dados foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: o questionário, o Pré-teste, o Pós-teste, o Diário Coletivo e o Diário de Bordo. A partir do questionário foi possível traçar o perfil dos professores e com os resultados do Pré-teste foram detectadas as dificuldades e os obstáculos que os professores encontravam no ensino de frações. Após análise e avaliação dos dados obtidos com estes instrumentos foram organizadas sete oficinas pedagógicas visando o aprofundamento do conteúdo e estratégias de ensino. Os registros do Diário de bordo foram utilizados pela pesquisadora/aplicadora para a confirmação e/ou adaptações nas oficinas de modo atender as necessidades dos professores participantes do curso. Ao término das oficinas foi aplicado o Pós-teste, que juntamente com os comentários registrados pelos professores no Diário Coletivo, serviu de parâmetro para avaliar o aprendizado durante as oficinas. Ao final do curso percebeu-se que as atividades realizadas nas oficinas pedagógicas contribuíram para ampliar o conhecimento dos professores tanto no aprofundamento conceitual quanto nas estratégias de ensino, e ainda evidenciou-se a relevância do acompanhamento sistematizado das equipes centrais das instituições mantenedoras (Secretarias Municipais e Estaduais de Educação), para que o professor não se sinta isolado diante do desafio de ensinar e possa propiciar aos seus alunos uma aprendizagem cada vez melhor. Como produto final desse trabalho, apresenta-se o Caderno Pedagógico: “As oficinas na formação continuada de professores - uma estratégia do Pró-Letramento Matemática para a construção do conceito de frações”, cuja finalidade é a de orientar ações pedagógicas no ensino de frações. / The present study aimed to contribute to the training of teachers of the first years of elementary school from teaching workshops based on issue fractions of the Program of Continuing Education Pro-Literacy Mathematics. The survey was conducted in 2011, on a course of 30 hours for 16 teachers in the 2nd year of the 2nd cycle (former 4th grade) elementary school for nine years the Municipal School of Ponta Grossa city. From the methodological point of view, the study entered into a qualitative interpretative research and applied purposes. For data collection we used the following instruments: the questionnaire, the Pre-test, the Post-test, the Collective Diary and Diary. From the questionnaire it was possible to trace the profile of teachers and the results of the pre-test were found difficulties and obstacles that teachers were in teaching fractions. After analysis and evaluation of data obtained with these instruments were organized seven workshops aimed at deepening the educational content and teaching strategies. The logbook records were used by the Researcher/Applicator for confirmation and adaptations in the workshops so teachers meet the needs of course participants. At the end of the workshops was applied post-test, which along with the comments recorded by teachers in the Journal Collective, served as parameter for assessing learning during the workshops. At the end of the course it was noted that activities in educational workshops contributed to the knowledge of teachers both in conceptual and deepening the teaching strategies, and also revealed the importance of systematic monitoring of the core teams of institutions offering (Municipal Education and State), so that the teacher does not feel isolated from the challenge of teaching and can provide its students with a learning better. As a final product of this work, we present the Educational Booklet: "The workshops on continuing education of teachers - a strategy of Pro-Literacy Mathematics for the construction of the concept of fractions”, whose purpose is to guide pedagogical practices in teaching fractions.

Acompanha: Manual didático para elaboração e aplicação de roteiros de ensino aplicados com informática em séries iniciais / Este trabalho tem por objetivo construir mecanismos didáticos de referência para o professor dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental trabalhar conteúdos utilizando recursos de informática. A pesquisa foi estruturada em torno do problema de aparelhar o professor para integrar o uso das TICs (Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação) em sala de aula, relacionando ensino as correntes pedagógicas de aprendizagem. Para embasar a pesquisa buscamos algumas correntes pedagógicas e suas características principais, como a de Skinner, Piaget, Papert e Gagné, as quais oferecem suporta para o trabalho dos recursos tecnológicos dentro do plano de ensino. A pesquisa também contou com uma busca por outros trabalhos dentro da literatura científica relacionados ao tema de informática como recurso de ensino-aprendizagem e que apresentam contribuições ao professor que possui interesse em ensinar usando um recurso que absorve a atenção do aluno. A fim de auxiliar os professores foi organizada uma oficina que visava testar um roteiro de critérios de seleção de softwares e um roteiro de plano de ensino usando softwares educativos disponíveis na internet e em mídia de armazenamento. A metodologia escolhida para coletar os dados é de cunho qualitativo e aplicada, onde analisamos os dados de forma impessoal. Os resultados obtidos nas oficinas apontaram a recepção positiva pelos professores que participaram da pesquisa, perante aos roteiros propostos para tentativa de sanar alguns problemas argumentados pelos professores como falta de tempo e sobrecarga de trabalho, além de falhas nas formações pedagógicas para o uso da tecnologia na sala de aula. Os roteiros de referência proposto pode vir a auxiliar mesmo o professor que não domine completamente os recursos da informática educativa. / This work aims to build educational reference mechanisms for teacher of the early years of elementary school work content using computing resources. The research was structured around the problem of equipping teachers to integrate the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in the classroom, teaching the pedagogical trends relating learning. To support the research seek some pedagogical trends and main characteristics , as Skinner , Piaget , Papert and Gagné , which provide support for the work of technological resources within the education plan. The survey also included a search for other jobs within the scientific literature related to the topic of computer science as a resource for teaching and learning and present contributions to the teacher who is interested in teaching using a resource that absorbs the attention of the student. In order to assist teachers a workshop which aimed to test a series of criteria for selection of software and a roadmap of planned teaching using educational software available on the internet and in the storage media was organized . The chosen methodology for collecting the data is a qualitative study and applied, where we analyzed the data impersonally. The results obtained in the workshops indicated the positive reception by teachers who participated in the study before the proposed attempt to remedy some issues argued by teachers as lack of time and workload scripts, and gaps in teacher training for the use of technology in classroom. The roadmaps proposed reference method may be useful even if the teacher does not completely dominate the resources of educational computing.

Acompanha: Sequência didática para o ensino do ciclo menstrual. / Este estudo teve como objetivo propor uma sequência didática para o ensino do ciclo menstrual 6º ano do ensino fundamental. Para isso, a pesquisa embasou-se nos documentos norteadores da educação no ensino fundamental Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN) e Temas Transversais. Buscou-se também subsídios teóricos acerca dos conceitos relacionados ao ciclo menstrual (FOX, 2007; MOORE, DALLEY, 2001; BERENSTEIN, 2001; COUTINHO, 1996). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de natureza interpretativa. O trabalho se desenvolveu em uma escola da rede estadual de ensino da cidade de Ponta Grossa/PR, junto a vinte e cinco alunos do 6º ano do ensino fundamental. A coleta de dados se deu por meio de registros fotográficos, gravações em áudio, protocolo de observação participante e registros das atividades desenvolvidas. Os dados foram obtidos por meio da seguinte sequência didática composta pela apresentação da situação; produção inicial, que ocorreu por meio de um questionário, a fim de levantar os conceitos prévios dos alunos sobre o tema; seis módulos que abordam sobre os diversos aspectos do ciclo menstrual; e a produção final realizada com aplicação de um jogo. Os resultados apontaram que as atividades desenvolvidas durante a aplicação dos módulos da sequência didática contribuíram para a reestruturação dos conceitos prévios dos alunos sobre o assunto, bem como na aquisição de novos conceitos sobre ciclo menstrual, além de fornecer um espaço único de discussões acerca da sexualidade, oportunizando momentos de discussão, troca de experiências e ideias. A fim de compartilhar as atividades desenvolvidas por meio desse trabalho, foi elaborado, como produto final, um caderno pedagógico contendo a fundamentação teórica sobre o ciclo menstrual e sequências didáticas, assim como as atividades propostas e sugestões de material para diversificação das aulas. / The aim of this study is to propose an instructional sequence for teaching the menstrual cycle. For this, the research was based on the guiding documents to education in elementary school National Curriculum Parameters (PCN) and Cross Cutting Themes. It also sought theoretical support about the concepts related to the menstrual cycle (FOX, 2007; Moore, Dalley, 2001; BERENSTEIN, 2001; Coutinho, 1996). This is a qualitative, interpretive nature. The work was developed in a state school education in the city of Ponta Grossa / Pr, with twenty-five students in the 6th grade of elementary school. Data collection occurred through photographic records, audio recordings, protocol of observation participant, records of activities. By applying the instructional sequence data were obtained (through a questionnaire in order to raise the students' preconceptions about the subject, about six modules that address various aspects of the menstrual cycle, and the final production, performed with application of a game). The results indicate that the activities developed during the implementation of the instructional sequence modules contributed to the restructuring of students' preconceptions about the subject as well as the acquisition of new concepts about the menstrual cycle, and provide a unique space for discussions about sexuality , providing opportunities for moments of discussion, exchange of experiences and ideas. In order to share the activities developed through this work, was prepared as a final product, a notebook containing the theoretical teaching of the menstrual cycle and didactic sequences, as well as the proposed activities and suggestions for material for diversification of classes.
