A study of Certain Aspects of the Development of the Home Economics Program of the Teachers College High School of the North Texas State Teachers College

Smith, Nora Olive 08 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to present the development of the home economics program of the Teachers College High School from its beginning to the present time of the thesis. It aims to show the type and number of of courses offered, the number of and classification of students enrolled, and what provision was made for the supervision of instruction in these classes. The main body of the thesis is composed of five chapters, which may be outlined in the following manner. Chapter II is a historical sketch of the Teachers College High School. It tells the story of the founding of the parent institution, its development into a teacher's college, and the establishment of a demonstration school as a teacher-training laboratory for college students. Chapter III of the study traces the course offerings in the high school from 1909 to 1939. In this connection, the nature and number of the courses offered are discussed and attention is given to the development of various new phases of the work. Table I shows the development. Chapter IV deals with some aspects of the enrollment of the high school students in the home economics courses. Chapter V of the thesis deals with the supervision of home economics instruction in the high school. Two tables outline the teaching lode of the supervisors. Chapter VI presents a summary of the findings and the conclusions of the study. Since no previous study of the development of the home economics program in the Teachers College High School has been made, this survey should be valuable to those interested in the growth of home economics in this institution.

The role of early college high school in P-16 success: a case study of students’ perceptions of Mission Early College High School effectiveness

Valdez, Melinda Martin 05 February 2010 (has links)
The short existence of Early College High Schools has not allowed for considerable research to assess their operational effectiveness. Furthermore, the effectiveness perceptions and reactions of students enrolled at these schools have not been given ample opportunity to be studied – an integral component of any school’s operation. The purpose of the study is to focus on one specific ECHS while in its third year of existence to assess its operational effectiveness from the perspective of its students. The research methodology which was selected as appropriate for the study involves the use of qualitative research coupled with the case study method. In order to assess for reliable observations, currently enrolled students were interviewed to gain knowledge of their perception of the operational effectiveness at their early college high school. Additional qualitative data was utilized with an inductive analytic approach to provide for a detailed view of the school. Data was segmented into relevant parts to help identify emergent themes. The following themes emerged from the findings: attainable success; student roles and responsibilities; personalization; support to achieve higher-level work; highly qualified teachers; and engaging parents and community. The findings suggest that student perceptions reflect an effective school environment that enables them to meet the expectations of high school graduation and completion of up to two years of college credit. Moreover, the supplemental data collected provided evidence of effective school administration and instructional practices that foster the support and engagement of students to meet their needs as early college high school students. An objective study of an early college high school may assist its administrators to ascertain whether they are meeting the needs of their students. Future research concerning this topic may be able to utilize the results and conclusions of this study to further enrich the knowledge of effective early college high schools. / text

Industrial Arts: A Medium for Economic Education

Leslie, Leo A. 08 1900 (has links)
This study of the feasibility of introducing certain economic concepts into secondary school industrial arts curricula reveals that most Americans understand economics poorly. The study divides economic concepts into seven major categories with which the responsible adult should be familiar. The study examines trends toward involving economics in contemporary industrial arts projects and presents selected such activities with an economic emphasis. The study concludes by distinguishing between suitable and unsuitable economic concepts for integration into industrial arts curricula.

Instituto de Ciências Exatas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ensino de Física. Volta Redonda, RJ. / O Peer Instruction é uma metodologia centrada no aluno, voltada para a compreensão dos conceitos de uma dada disciplina. Nela, alunos devem, após uma breve exposição sobre um tópico da disciplina, responder a questões conceituais de múltipla escolha, chamadas Conceptests, individualmente após um minuto ou dois para reflexão sobre a resposta correta. Dependendo do número de respostas corretas dadas em um primeiro levantamento das respostas escolhidas pelos estudantes, pode haver um momento de dois a três minutos onde os estudantes procuram colegas com respostas diferentes das suas, explicam o raciocínio seguido e tentam chegar a um consenso sobre a resposta correta. Após estas sessões de debate, o professor procede a um levantamento das novas respostas, e discute a resposta correta com os estudantes. Neste trabalho, descrevemos a experiência de aplicação da metodologia de ensino descrita acima a duas turmas de 1º ano do ensino médio do Colégio Estadual Dr. Antônio Fernandes, no município de Miguel Pereira, RJ ao longo do ano de 2014, cobrindo a ementa de Cinemática e Mecânica. Analisamos os resultados de desempenho dos estudantes ao responder aos Conceptests, e verificamos os efeitos da metodologia sobre o engajamento dos estudantes sobre o processo de aprendizagem e sobre o interesse no estudo da disciplina de Física. / Peer Instruction is a student-centered teaching method, focused on the conceptual understanding of a discipline. Within its framework, after watching a mini-class on a given topic, students must answer multiple choice conceptual questions (dubbed Conceptests) individually, after one or two minutes of reflection. Depending on the number of correct answers given to the question in a first instance, students must find a peer who has chosen a different answer, and debate with them explaining the reasoning followed for arriving at the answer of choice, with two or three minutes for that. The peers should, if possible, try to reach a consensus on what the correct answer would be. After these debate sessions, the teacher proceeds to a second round of answers, and then discusses the correct answer with the students. In our work, we present a report on the application of this teaching method to two first-year high school classes from Colégio Estadual Dr. Antônio Fernandes, in Miguel Pereira county, which is part of the educational network of the State of Rio de Janeiro. The work was conducted along the year 2014, and the syllabus was Kinematics and Mechanics. We analyse the performance of students in answering the Conceptests, and we investigate the effects of applying the method on student engagement in the learning process, as well as on their interest in the study of Physics.

A Study of Teachers' Challenges with the Inclusion of Middle and High School Students with Autism

Goodrow, Marcie Anne 01 January 2016 (has links)
Middle and high school general education teachers in the school district in this bounded case study were facing challenges with meeting the needs of students who have autism in the current inclusion program. The purpose of this study was to understand teachers' challenges with components of the inclusion program and serving students with autism in the general education classroom. The conceptual framework was Villa and Thousand's 5 system-level best practices for successful inclusive education. A purposeful sampling procedure was used to select 4 general education teachers who were teaching autistic students in an inclusive setting; this sample included 2 middle school level and 2 high school level teachers from 2 schools in the small rural district. The data collected through classroom observations and semi structured interviews were coded based on Villa and Thousand's best practices of leadership, redefined roles, collaboration, adult support, and promotion as each related to inclusion of autistic students. Results were used to identify challenges teachers were facing that prevented the 5 system-level best practices from being implemented. Key challenges were collaboration between general and special education teachers and lack of professional development for all teachers on inclusion. Findings were used to provide recommendations for how to address challenges in middle and high school inclusion programs and for conducting future studies in different settings. The results of this study could be used by school leaders and other stakeholders to make informed decisions about system level implementation of inclusion program components and for enhancing the learning of students who have autism in the inclusive setting.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2006 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / A disciplina de Biologia Educacional está inserida nos currículos de graduação para formação de professores e sua importância é considerada, atualmente, uma necessidade pelo fato de a escola ser promotora da saúde, como uma das suas funções sociais. Crianças que estudam na rede pública, mesmo na cidade de São Paulo, apresentam quadros de doenças bastante expressivos. Criança sem saúde, não aprende e conseqüentemente tem menos chances em sua vida adulta. Os futuros educadores devem ter estes conhecimentos para um envolvimento e trabalho com seus alunos e as comunidades locais. Objetivo. Analisar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de alunos universitários, no âmbito desta disciplina. Planejar e desenvolver uma metodologia com estratégias de aula que facilitem o aprendizado. Analisar, na visão dos alunos, quais os pontos positivos e negativos no processo. Método. Desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa, da qual participaram estudantes do primeiro semestre do curso de Pedagogia de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior privada da cidade de São Paulo, do tipo pesquisa-ação, em que o pesquisador é também autor de uma prática, no caso, de docência, com caráter qualitativo acrescida de instrumentos quantitativos; como forma de coleta de dados, foram utilizados questionários e o diário de campo; para análise dos dados foi realizada primeiramente a tabulação dos questionários, verificou-se a freqüência das respostas, calculada em porcentagem, e posteriormente os resultados foram expressos em gráficos; em seguida, os dados coletados pelos depoimentos foram analisados segundo a técnica de análise do sujeito coletivo. Resultados. Os resultados obtidos forneceram informações importantes para reflexão dos docentes do ensino superior sobre o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, mostrando que as estratégias utilizadas propiciaram envolvimento e participação do aluno, aproximação da realidade pessoal e profissional, maior interação nas relações interpessoais, reflexão e crítica. Conclusões. O referencial teórico sobre o aprendizado de adultos, as metodologias ativas e o relacionamento interpessoal entre professor e alunos, aliados à análise da visão dos alunos sobre os pontos positivos e negativos no processo de ensinoaprendizagem, proporcionaram subsídios para acreditar numa metodologia e estratégias didáticas específicas para adultos e que devem contemplar a motivação do docente e a comunicação pedagógica, incluindo os elementos criatividade, conteúdo técnico atualizado e conteúdo formativo aplicados à futura profissão, troca de experiências, que permitam uma relação professoraluno afetiva, com interação e diálogo. Pretende-se com esta pesquisa contribuir para reflexões, incentivar ações e novas pesquisas voltadas para o aprendizado e, conseqüentemente, para a formação de profissionais. / The discipline Educational Biology is inserted in the graduation courses for teachers formation and its importance is considered, currently, a necessity for the fact of the school be health promoter, as one of its social functions.

The more frequent and abundant use of the High School Education National Exam as the gateway to undergraduate studies in the country has had repercussion to the educational institutions, students and teachers, who live the consequences of the popularization of this exam on their professional activities. The goal of this thesis is to understand the perspective of high school teachers of a specific school in Sao Paulo about the repercussions of the High School Education National Exam (ENEM - Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio) on their professional teaching practices. Our research developed with a qualitative approach, used bibliographical research on the high school and the High School Education National Exam, characterization instrument and interviews with five teachers and one teacher coordinator of a Sumare (city in the State of São Paulo) state school, in addition to the elaboration of the researcher's field journal. Our focus was on the reconstruction of the evaluation approach by the teachers, since we work on the theoretical assumption that every educational policy is reconstructed and remeant by the subjects that receive it. The basic concepts of the area of teacher formation that guided our study were: constants of the teaching work, teaching identity and teacher development. Aside from those, we also searched for knowledge about evaluation and some policies towards the high school education in Brazil. Based on the research, we could consider that the isolated work of a teacher, the opportunities of specific teaching activities, the non-reflected consumption of the political proposal are some of the conditions based on in which the teacher acquires their professional identity in this context. However, when searching for alternatives of teaching practices, when searching for answers to challenges in a collective manner, when feeling accomplished by their role as an experience creator to the students that find in the High School Education National Exam (ENEM - Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio) their source of hope to achieve the undergraduate studies, the teacher learns and develops themselves professionally, finding strategies to remain in the teaching activities. Our research indicates that the implementation of an educational policy that does not consider the formation process of the teachers, their objective work conditions and their perspective of this policy weakens their potential to induce changes on the curriculum, teaching practices and in the learning evaluation. / O ensino médio público no Brasil é vítima de um reformismo constante que tem dificultado o fortalecimento de uma identidade própria a esta etapa de ensino. A ampliação do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM), como porta de acesso ao ensino superior no país, tem trazido repercussões às escolas de nível médio, a seus alunos e aos professores que vivenciam as consequências desta popularização do exame em suas práticas profissionais. O objetivo desta tese é compreender a perspectiva de professores do ensino médio de uma escola da rede estadual paulista sobre as repercussões do ENEM em suas práticas profissionais docentes. A nossa pesquisa, desenvolvida a partir de uma abordagem qualitativa, utilizou pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o ensino médio e o ENEM, instrumento de caracterização e entrevistas com cinco professores e uma professora coordenadora de uma escola estadual do município de Sumaré-SP, bem como a elaboração de diários de campo da pesquisadora. Nosso olhar esteve voltado para a reconstrução que os professores fazem da política avaliativa, já que partimos do pressuposto teórico de que toda política educacional é reconstruída e ressignificada pelos sujeitos que a recebem. Os conceitos básicos da área de formação de professores que orientaram nosso estudo foram: constantes do trabalho docente, identidade docente e desenvolvimento profissional da docência. Além destes, buscamos também compreensões sobre avaliação e algumas políticas voltadas para o ensino médio no Brasil. Diante da pesquisa pudemos considerar que o trabalho isolado do professor, as oportunidades de práticas docentes específicas, o consumo não refletido da proposta política, são algumas das condições em que o professor assume sua identidade profissional nesse contexto. No entanto, ao buscar alternativas de práticas de ensino, ao buscar respostas para desafios de forma coletiva, ao sentir-se realizado com o seu papel de criador de expectativas para os estudantes que têm no ENEM a esperança de acesso ao ensino superior, o professor aprende e se desenvolve profissionalmente encontrando estratégias para continuar na atividade docente. Nossa pesquisa indica que a implantação de uma política educacional que não considera o processo formativo dos docentes, suas condições objetivas de trabalho e a perspectiva que eles têm desta política, enfraquece o seu potencial indutor de mudanças no currículo, nas práticas docentes e na avaliação da aprendizagem.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Souza_EdsonRobertode_M.pdf: 5164995 bytes, checksum: 5892c0bed615cf0eaf17a9fdd892b117 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010 / Resumo: Esta pesquisa buscou compreender como, em questões do ENEM, gráficos no contexto do aquecimento global e das mudanças climáticas, seja qual for o enfoque dado à discussão, participam da significação sobre os temas e ainda para o mesmo contexto, quais são as características básicas do leitor de gráficos que as questões subentendem. Para tanto, foi feito um recorte que possibilitou trabalhar com questões das provas do ENEM, publicadas entre os anos 1998 a 2008, as quais continham gráficos e tratavam de algum aspecto dos referidos temas. Pautada numa perspectiva discursiva a partir de trabalhos de M. Pêcheux e E. Orlandi, esta pesquisa sugere o estabelecimento de critérios para a análise discursiva das questões, de modo a compreender de que maneira o ENEM poderia estar intervindo na constituição do leitor de ciência, no que diz respeito a esse tipo de materialidade textual. As análises demonstraram que as questões trabalham o sentido de que a Terra estaria passando por um aquecimento causado pela emissão antrópica do gás de efeito estufa CO2. Do modo como essa ideia vem sendo veiculada, ela reforça uma concepção de mudança ambiental como resultado de um único fator, numa relação causa e efeito simples, deixando de lado a concepção da Terra como um sistema integrado. O tipo de leitor de ciências subentendido nas questões se mostrou em desacordo com as propostas iniciais do próprio ENEM, que apontam para um sujeito crítico e argumentativo, capaz de tomar decisões com base em informações científicas. Para cada questão investigada foi construído um corpus, com textualizações que dialogavam entre si sobre o contexto apresentado. Os conceitos científicos que embasam as questões analisadas foram estudados, tanto do ponto de vista de conteúdo bem como do ponto de vista metodológico, para que fosse possível avaliar aspectos técnicos das questões formuladas, tendo em vista que tais aspectos são significados pelos leitores. Foi dada especial atenção ao estudo dos conteúdos e das concepções geocientíficas sobre o comportamento da Terra, principalmente sobre o aspecto climático e de suas mudanças ao longo do tempo geológico. As condições de produção de cada questão foram investigadas, o que exigiu pesquisa histórica, incluindo análise de arquivos documentais que explicitassem o contexto sócio-cultural da época em que as questões foram produzidas, entre outras coisas / Abstract: This research sought to understand how among issues of ENEM, graphs in the context of global warming and climate change, regardless of the focus in discussion, contribute to the significance of the issues and even for the same context, and what are the basic characteristics of the reader of the graphs that questions presume. To this end, a clip was made that made it possible to work with issues of evidence used in ENEM exams published between the years 1998 to 2008, which contained charts and dealt with some aspect of these topics. Based on a discursive perspective from works of M. Pêcheux and E. Orlandi, this research suggests the establishment of criteria for discursive analysis of the issues in order to understand how the ENEM could be intervening in the constitution of the reader of science with regard to this kind of textual materiality. These analyses showed that the questions work in the sense that the Earth was going through a warming caused by anthropogenic emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. The way this idea is being conveyed, it reinforces a concept of environmental change as a result of a single factor, a simple cause and effect relationship, leaving aside the conception of Earth as an integrated system. The type of reader presumed in science questions proved at odds with the initial proposals of ENEM itself, which point to a critical and reasoning mind, capable of making decisions based on scientific information. For each question investigated a corpus was built with texts that dialogue with each other on the context presented. Scientific concepts that underlie the issues discussed were studied, both from the standpoint of content as well as the methodological point of view, so that it was possible to assess technical aspects of the issues raised, considering that these aspects are significant for readers. Special attention was paid to the study of geoscience content and concepts about the behavior of the Earth, especially on the aspect of climate and its changes over geologic time. The conditions of production for each question were investigated, which required historical research, including analysis of documentary archives that spell out the socio-cultural era in which the issues were produced, among other things / Mestrado / Mestre em Ensino e Historia de Ciencias da Terra

A percepção dos docentes de ensino médio de enfermagem sobre a construção do ser professor / The perception gained by senior high school nursing teachers about their development process

Orosco, Simone Shirasaki 29 June 2010 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-01-26T18:49:33Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 DISSERTACAO_SIMONE SHIRASAKI OROSCO_INICIADA.pdf: 380050 bytes, checksum: 3669bc9a6172aab5714b1e8bab99fdbf (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-06-29 / This study was carried out to broach the development undergone by the nursing teacher and his/her pedagogical activities in times of changes brought about in the field of education within the context of modern society. Many teachers, as they begin their educational activities in the field of health, do not attend courses to achieve pedagogical qualification or relevant undergraduate courses in education. In one s professional development he/she becomes a teacher when he/she identifies himself/herself with a discipline he/she became fond of while attending an undergraduate course and so he/she ends by performing the function of a teacher based on the traditional teaching-learning process. In spite of the growing number of schools and high level technical professionals in the field of nursing in Brazil, it seems that people are not concerned with the quality of their teaching, since few researches have been carried out concerning those professionals and their background development. In face of that issue, this study was carried out to raise the representation of senior high school nursing teachers about their development process. The research at issue was based on the theory of Social Representations, characterized as a descriptive exploratory quantitative-qualitative based approach. The subjects studied in the research comprised 12 (twelve) nursing teachers at senior high school level working in a private school located in Presidente Prudente. A questionnaire was applied presenting open and closed questions, after asking for their authorization, an explanation about its social and academic contributions, and the signing of the Term of Free and Conscious Consent. The information about the characterization of the participants was presented as a quantitative-based research. The qualitative data collected were interpreted in the light of content analysis. The outcomes show that the real development process undergone by the nursing teacher was represented by his/her experience in realizing himself/herself as such. Most of the teachers believe that proficiency in teaching involves putting in motion skills such as knowledge, attitudes, and ingenuity. Concerning the teaching practice, they try to pass on proficiency to their students, resources such as the capacity to articulate one s wisdom; they use group dynamics, reading and research as teaching procedures, and they carry out a formative and global assessment. From such outcomes, some possibilities stand out, items such as teaching qualification for those who are in need of it, the school seriously engaged in furthering its teachers qualification, and activities which favor the association between scientific knowledge, ingenuity, and attitude centered in the student s reality. / O presente estudo tem como tema o processo de construção do ser professor em Enfermagem e suas atividades pedagógicas em tempos de mudanças na educação e na sociedade moderna. Muitos docentes, ao iniciarem suas atividades educacionais na área da saúde, não realizam cursos de capacitação pedagógica ou pós-graduação no ensino. Em sua trajetória profissional vira professor ao identificar-se com uma disciplina que gostou enquanto era graduando e acaba exercendo a docência baseado no processo de ensino-aprendizagem tradicional. Apesar do crescente número de escolas e profissionais de nível técnico em Enfermagem no Brasil, parece não ocorrer muita preocupação com a qualidade de seu ensino, pois poucas pesquisas foram encontradas sobre esses profissionais e sua formação. Diante disso, este estudo tem como objetivo verificar a representação dos docentes de ensino médio de Enfermagem sobre a construção do ser professor. A pesquisa teve como referencial a Teoria das Representações Sociais, sendo caracterizada como descritiva e exploratória, de abordagem quanti-qualitativa. Os sujeitos pesquisados foram doze (12) docentes enfermeiros do ensino médio de Enfermagem de uma instituição particular da cidade de Presidente Prudente. Foi aplicado um questionário, contendo questões abertas e fechadas, após a solicitação de autorização à instituição, explicação sobre as contribuições sociais e acadêmicas da pesquisa e assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. As informações sobre a caracterização dos participantes foram apresentadas sob a forma quantitativa. Os dados qualitativos coletados foram trabalhados à luz da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados revelaram que a construção real do ser professor em enfermagem foi representada por sua experiência de estar professor. A maioria dos professores acredita que as competências para ensinar envolvem a mobilização dos saberes como conhecimento, atitude e habilidade. Em relação à prática docente, eles buscam desenvolver competências nos alunos, como a capacidade de articulação dos saberes; utilizam a dinâmica em grupo, a leitura e a pesquisa como procedimentos de ensino; e realizam a avaliação formativa e global. A partir desses resultados, destacam-se algumas possibilidades, como a capacitação docente para os que ainda não a possuem, a instituição comprometida com a formação docente e o incentivo às atividades que fortaleçam ainda mais a associação entre conhecimento científico, habilidade e atitude adequada à realidade do aluno.
