Comprendre le processus d'adaptation des démarches d'enseignement en classe de sciences et technologies à l'école secondaire analyse des besoins perçus par les personnes enseignantes en milieu défavorisé

Houde, Sylvie January 2008 (has links)
Since the implementation of the latest reform in the education programs of Quebec, the adaptation of teaching has taken on an important place in the concerns of all actors in education. However, this adjustment towards the adoption of teaching practices that require more participation on the part of the pupil is not accomplished so easily, particularly in the field of science and technology (ST). In order to gain a better understanding of these processes of adaptation, it is opportune to question ourselves on the factors and dynamics of interest at stake, especially in disadvantaged environments. Such environments are faced with situations where other difficulties coexist: integration of pupils, lack of interest, problems in classroom management, multi-ethnicity, etc. As a result, such difficulties give rise. to particular limitations, expressed in the form of needs, by pupils and teachers, likely to have a restrictive effect on the adaptation of teaching practices. Accordingly, our research focuses on the needs perceived by teachers in high school ST classrooms in disadvantaged school environments, since they present a privileged means to better understand the processes involved in the adaptation of practices. The adoption of an ecosystemic perspective, centered on these needs and their contribution towards the dynamics of decision-making, enabled us to better apprehend the complexity of these processes in ST classrooms. We were able to identify the needs perceived by teachers by following the methodology of conceptanalysis of needs, and by combining focus groups with the DRAP software. The results account for the large variety of needs to be considered in the equation of adaptation of teaching practices. These needs generally belong to the classroom system (microsystem). For pupils, they are mainly cognitive needs, but for teachers, they pertain to organization and structure. The influence of these needs on the adaptation processes depends on the interpretation by teachers of teaching situations, so much so that a same need can at times be assumed as negative pressure, generating obstacles, or at other times as a positive impulse, facilitating adaptation.

Discursos jovens sobre vida, escola e trabalho: estudo realizado em uma escola de ensino médio de São Paulo / Discourses upon young lives, school and work: a state high school in a city in the State of São Paulo

Guaraldo, Livia Maria 13 April 2009 (has links)
Trata-se de uma pesquisa sobre o Ensino Médio do ponto de vista de alunos e tem por objetivo tornar relevante a voz destes. Como professora de Filosofia percebo dificuldades e atritos entre o Ensino Médio oferecido e a expectativa de aprendizagem dos jovens em relação à escola: o desconhecimento da realidade socioeconômica e cultural dos alunos e de seus sonhos tem criado descontentamentos entre alunos, que percorrem apaticamente (ou indisciplinadamente) o curso quase que, exclusivamente, para terminá-lo o quanto antes. O objeto, diante desse quadro, é contextualizar o ensino secundário em Itanhaém e constatar a visão de alunos sobre aspectos da realidade do Ensino Médio atual e como veem a sua contribuição na preparação para a vida, o futuro e o trabalho, ou seja, o foco é o discurso desse jovem a respeito desses três assuntos. O lócus da pesquisa é uma escola pública na cidade de Itanhaém, estado de São Paulo. Os sujeitos: alunos do 3º ano do Ensino Médio, final da Educação Básica. A pesquisa pretende identificar os principais pontos de insatisfação e as expectativas desses jovens em relação a esse nível de ensino. O procedimento da pesquisa: reunião de alunos e estímulo ao diálogo. Recorrendo a tratamento qualitativo analítico descritivo , descrevo o método utilizado e analiso, após um breve histórico do Ensino Médio no Brasil, os dados obtidos à luz de fundamentos teóricos sobre jovens e educação no Ensino Médio, procurando contribuir para transformar em qualidade a quantidade de informações veiculadas na educação oferecida pelas escolas públicas de Ensino Médio do estado de São Paulo. / This study aims at understanding how students who are currently studying at a estate high school in the City of Itanhaém, estate of São Paulo, Brazil for their last year conceive high school as means to enable them for the future, life and working life, focusing on the their discourse upon such issues. As a philosophy teacher at estate schools, I have had the opportunity to notice a gap between the knowledge acquisition provided and the expectations among the students: the distance between their unfulfilled needs and what the school is able to offer, added to their limited comprehension about the general social, economical and cultural situation about the country as a whole, has been translated into dissatisfaction, apathy and indiscipline. The present study also intends to identify their main expectations and chief complaints at this point of their studies. In order to do so, regular meetings with the students were used. Using qualitative treatment analytical descriptive , I have described the method used, and followed by a brief history of the High School in Brazil, I analyzed the data obtained in the light of the theoretical foundations on youth and education in high school, in an attempt to help to transform into quality the amount of information reported on education regarding the state schools of São Paulo.

O processo de internacionalização das universidades brasileiras, em um contexto mundial no qual se multiplicam as interfaces de contato linguístico e, consequentemente, cultural entre os sujeitos, traz como consequência, entre outras, a reflexão sobre a formação de um repertório plurilíngue e o desenvolvimento da competência plurilíngue e pluricultural do estudante nos níveis anteriores de escolarização, antes do ingresso na universidade, e os modos pelos quais isto pode ser alcançado. Esta dissertação tem por objetivo investigar o desenvolvimento da competência de leitura plurilíngue em estudantes de Ensino Médio de uma escola técnica pública do Estado de São Paulo que realizaram um curso de leitura plurilíngue de textos autênticos, segundo a abordagem de ensino de línguas própria à didática do plurilinguismo, a Intercompreensão entre línguas aparentadas. A proposição autoral do curso Leitura Pluriligue que implicou na definição de objetivos, concepção da progressão, do material didático e dos instrumentos de avaliação deve-se à falta de material e de práticas educativas em Intercompreensão voltadas a este público. A implicação da pesquisadora na práxis, em todas as etapas do curso, determinou que a pesquisa fosse caracterizada como pesquisa-ação. O quadro teórico geral, que serviu de diretriz para a elaboração do curso e para a análise dos dados, baseou-se nos conceitos e pressupostos da didática do plurilinguismo (BEACCO, 2005; 2007; CANDELIER, 2007; GAJO, 2009), entendida como meio de promover a educação plurilíngue. Além disso, recorremos aos pressupostos das abordagens plurais de línguas, principalmente aos da Intercompreensão (BLANCHE-BENVENISTE e VALLI, 1997; DABÈNE, 1996; MEISSNER e al., 2004, DEGACHE, 2006; CASTELLOTTI, 2008; ESCUDÉ e JANIN, 2010). E, por abordarmos a questão do desenvolvimento de uma competência plurilíngue pelo viés da recepção de textos escritos, observamos as teorias sobre leitura e leitura em língua estrangeira (JOUVE, 1993; MALHEIROS POULET e al., 1994; PIETRARÓIA, 1997, 2011; COSTE, 2002; KLEIMAN, 2008,2009; GIASSON, 2008). Nosso corpus de pesquisa é constituído por dados sócio-linguísticos dos participantes, que foram coletados por meio de fichas diagnósticas, e pelas produções dos estudantes, que incluem atividades em sala de aula e o questionário de autoavaliação. Os resultados mostraram a relação dos aprendentes com a aprendizagem de línguas estrangeiras e com a própria L1 e como eles se apropriaram das estratégias próprias à Intercompreensão na leitura e compreensão de textos em línguas estrangeiras aparentadas. / Within a worldwide context in which linguistic and consequently cultural contact interfaces multiply between social actors, the process of Brazilian Universities Internationalization brings as a result among others the reflexion about Plurilingual fund and Pluricultural and Plurilingual competency development of students at pre-schoolar level and before college admission, also the means by which can be accomplished. Elementary students at a Technical Public School in São Paulo State carried out a Plurilingual course on authentic scripts basis according to language tuition approach proper to Plurilingual preceptive, say, Intercomprehension between allied languages, thus the aim for this essay is to look students over competency development on Plurilingual reading. The authorial assertion Plurilingual Reading which implied on targets definition, advancing conception from preceptive material and assessment instruments due to the shortage of educational practices and material about intercomprehension headed to this sort of public. The distinct examiner involvement at every course stage imposed an action-research characteristic to this research. The general theoretical frame which was used as directive for the course work out and data analyses, was based on concepts and Plurilingual preceptive quotes (BEACCO, 2005,2007; CANDELIER, 2007; GAJO, 2009) known as a mean of Plurilingual education promotion. Additionally we made use of approach quotes at language plural, mainly those from Intercomprehension (BLANCHE-BENVENISTE e VALLI, 1997; DABÈNE, 1996; MEISSNER e al., 2004, DEGACHE, 2006; CASTELLOTTI, 2008; ESCUDÉ e JANIN, 2010). We were able to observe foreign language reading theory by approaching the matter of plurilingual competency development through the bias of written texts (JOUVE, 1993; MALHEIROS POULET e al., 1994; PIETRARÓIA, 1997, 2011; COSTE, 2002; KLEIMAN, 2008,2009; GIASSON, 2008). Our examiner corpus is formed by sociolinguistic data from participants which were collected from diagnostic sheets and also from learners output which include classroom activities and self-assessment queries. The outcome showed learners connection to foreign language apprenticeship as well as their own tongue and how they came up with own strategies for reading intercomprehension and foreign language texts.

Jerarquía de valores entre estudiantes de secundaria de colegio religioso y colegio laico de Lima / Hierarchy of values between religious high school students and secular ones in Lima

Raiza García Anchorena, Grimaldo, Mirian, Manzanares Medina, Eduardo 25 December 2016 (has links)
The purpose of this research was to compare the hierarchy of values among high school students, according to type of school (religious and secular) and sex. The sample was composed by 250 high school students (60.4% male, 52% religious school). The ages are in the range of 14 to 17 years (M = 15.47, SD = 0.63). The instrument used was the Portrait Value Questionnaire by Schwartz (2001), whose analysis of structure and internal consistency was satisfactory. To compare the hierarchy of values between the groups, top down correlations (rtd >) were used. According to the results, greater association (similarity) was found between the hierarchy of values depending on the type of school (rtd = .82) and, to a lesser degree by sex (rtd = .69). The comparative results show greater Benevolence, Self-Direction, Stimulation among women and Achievement among men. The implications of the comparative results are discussed.

O estudante do ensino medio e tecnico e a precarização do trabalho : perspectivas e adaptação : um estudo de caso de jovens estagiarios / The high school and technical education student and precariousness of work : perspectives and adaptation : a case study of young interns

No. of bitstreams: 1 Almeida_AdaMariade_D.pdf: 1012463 bytes, checksum: b60da0fea61d440309df998e35590efc (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008 / Resumo: Esta tese tem como objetivo apreender o processo de inserção do estudante de ensino médio e da escola técnica no mercado de trabalho por meio de estágios sócio-culturais. A metodologia da pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo e que se caracteriza como estudo de caso, compreende análise da documentação institucional e entrevistas semi-estruturadas com diretores e alunos/estagiários de duas escolas públicas estaduais do município de Araraquara-SP. Verifica-se a percepção dos diretores das escolas e de jovens sobre educação, trabalho e estágios considerando, estes últimos, parte de um movimento mais amplo de universalização do capitalismo e de reformas do Estado em que empresas públicas e privadas utilizam uma mão-de-obra jovem, escolarizada, qualificada e disposta a desempenhar, com total dedicação e sem questionamentos, diversas atividades no geral precarizadas, mal-remuneradas e destituídas de direitos, como forma de adquirir experiência e manter-se vinculada ao mercado de trabalho. Detecta-se que, nesse processo, a escola cumpre, ao lado das agências de emprego, um papel ativo de intermediária e agenciadora de estudantes para empresas indicando e encaminhando, para os estágios, aqueles já pré-aprovados pela instituição de ensino em comportamentos e atitudes - que se caracterizam como competências sociais em detrimento do saber escolar - úteis ao desempenho do trabalho. Percebe-se ainda que o jovem estudante tem uma visão extremamente otimista, idealizada, fetichista e alienada sobre os estágios sócio-culturais, não compreendendo sequer as bases sob as quais estão se realizando os estágios e, assim, está reproduzindo e legitimando os vínculos que se estabelecem entre escola/empresa no processo de inclusão da juventude brasileira, atualmente um dos segmentos sociais mais vulneráveis e afetados pelo desemprego e pela precariedade, de forma subordinada, degradada, marginal, que pode ser entendida como uma ¿inclusão excludente¿, no mercado de trabalho. Este jovem, embora denuncie viver em condições materiais de existência instáveis e sonhe, para o futuro, com uma estabilidade profissional que possibilite o acesso à sociedade do consumo e à constituição da própria família, está, hoje, adaptado à instabilidade da vida e do trabalho e incorporou o discurso dominante empresarial, escolar e da mídia, de educação contínua como único meio de atingir a mobilidade social / Abstract: This thesis is aimed at apprehending the process of inserting the high school education and technical school student in the work market by means of socio-cultural internships. The research methodology, of a qualitative nature and which is characterized as a case study, consists of institutional documentation analysis and semi-structured interviews with principals and interns/students of two state public schools of the municipality of Araraquara-SP. It was examined the perception of the schools principals' and the youngsters' on education, work and internships considering, the latter ones, part of a wider movement of capitalism universalization and of State reforms in which private and public companies utilize a young workforce, educated, qualified, and willing to perform, with total dedication and without questioning, several activities in general precarious, badly paid and deprived of rights, as a way to acquire experience and remain connected to the work market. It was found that, in this process, the school plays, along with the employment agencies , an active role as intermediary and students recruitment agencies for compani-es indicating and sending, to internships, those already pre-approved by the educational institution in behaviors and attitudes - which are characterized as social competences to the detriment of school knowledge - useful to work performance. It was also found that the young student has an extremely opti-mistic view, idealized, fetishistic and alienated on the sociocultural in-ternships, not even understanding the bases on which they are doing them and, this way, they are reproducing and legitimating the links that are establi-shed between school/company in the process of Brazilian youth inclusion, now-adays one of the most vulnerable and affected by unemployment and by precariousness social segments in a subordinate way, degraded, marginal, that can be understood as an "excluding inclusion", in the work market. This youngster, although denounces living in unstable existence material conditions and dreams, for the future, about a professional stability that makes it possible the access to the consumer society and to the constitution of the own family, is, today, adapted to the unsteadiness of life and of work and incorporated the business, school and media dominant discourse of continuous education as the only way to achieve social mobilization / Doutorado / Educação, Sociedade, Politica e Cultura / Doutor em Educação

An Experimental Approach to Teaching the Concept of Functional Diversity.

Stanley, Cory McKelvey 04 May 2002 (has links) (PDF)
This study tested an experimental approach to use in teaching the concept of functional diversity. The project culminated in a laboratory exercise for use in high schools. Experimental design consisted of representatives of three functional groups of plants, (legumes, grasses, and forbs), planted singly, and in two, or three species combinations. Legumes were represented by Trifolium repens and Medicago lupulina, grasses were represented by Cynodon dactylon and Festuca rubra, and forbs were represented by Helianthus annus and Raphanus sativa. Plants were grown inside a controlled growth chamber. During the growth phase, measurements were taken to highlight temporal differences in development. After two months, wet and dry weights of aboveground and belowground portions were measured as indicators of productivity. Research showed unique developmental patterns related to functional groups. Secondly, functional combination, not functional group number, produced a significant difference in biomass. Laboratory use involves group discussion, active-learning, and higher understanding of conservation.

Relative Scholastic Success of College Students from High Schools of Varying Sizes

Hudson, Leonard Lee 01 August 1933 (has links)
Education in America has made substantial growth in its various phases. No factor has been more marked than in the secondary field. The South was tardy in establishing a systematic scheme owing to the devastation of a Civil War and the misunderstandings natural to a reconstruction period. Many forces for the improvement of the secondary field in this section are now accomplishing wonderful results. Accrediting associations to investigate, recommend, and regulate certain practices, different divisions of the state department of education to supervise and inspect, research organizations, graduate schools, and school authorities are adding to the fund of knowledge regarding the different conditions and situations. This naturally leads to much study and criticism regarding the efficiency of the different types of high schools. Some of the schools are small, merely in the formative stage, and have a very small number of teachers and students, while others have large faculties and a student body that reaches into the thousands. Having evolved from the grammar school and conventional academy, in a land of varying possibilities and changing conditions, the high school cannot escape the ever perpetual experimental stage. No matter what is considered a standardized school today, tomorrow introduces new demands and situations. In this connection it seems appropriate to mention some general criticisms, and to make a study of what the high school is contributing to the educational system.
