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.

Plates of ceramic samples to accompany a thesis studying the suitability of five clays from the vicinity of Denton, Texas for use in high-school ceramics classes. The abundance of natural clays in Denton County and throughout the state of Texas, the ease with which clays may be obtained, and the ease with which they may be refined for use provide almost unlimited teaching possibilities in high-school art classes. This study of five Denton County clays has proved informative in several respects. It has shown that within the vicinity of Denton there are clays that are suitable for high-school use. Although all these clays may be suitable for one technique of pottery making each may not be suitable for all techniques. Many clays may be used after refining by a simple, quick process without the use of expensive and complicated equipment. Simple glazes, which have an aesthetic as well as a utilitarian value, may be compounded to fit these clays.

Œuvre dédiée à Alioune Camara; merci au Prof. Denis Dougnon de l’Université de Bamako pour le parrainage / Cette recherche examine comment et pourquoi les éducateurs en Afrique de l’Ouest, au Mali en particulier, s’approprient pédagogiquement les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) et avec quels effets. L’appropriation consiste à intégrer, personnellement et dans son milieu, la nouveauté et à la mobiliser de façon stratégique pour répondre aux objectifs contextualisés, souvent en résistance au statu quo. Une méthodologie qualitative et des approches interprétatives ont permis de comprendre les significations que les éducateurs donnent à leur réalité et leurs expériences. Trente-et-une personnes ont été interviewées: 23 enseignants du primaire et du secondaire, six professeurs d’université, et deux gestionnaires. Les éducateurs ont assimilé les TIC jusqu’à ce qu’elles deviennent partie intégrante de leur être et de leur vie quotidienne. En adaptant les TIC à leur milieu, ils ont travaillé comme des agents culturels, jouant le rôle d’interface entre les TIC et la société. Les professeurs, en particulier, ont exprimé leur souhait d’utiliser les TIC pour faciliter et renforcer la participation africaine aux débats mondiaux et à la production scientifique, et pour changer la perception présente et future de l’Afrique et des Africains. Les éducateurs ont embrassé les TIC pour les possibilités de transformation qu’elles offrent. Des changements apparaissent dans les rapports entre enseignants et étudiants (plus d’interactivités), dans les salles de classes (plus d’échanges) et les contenus des cours (plus actualisés et diversifiés), suggérant que les TIC peuvent avoir un rôle de catalyseur dans l’évolution des pratiques pédagogiques, y compris dans des contextes où l’accès aux documents est difficile et où l’héritage du colonialisme se fait encore sentir. Les perspectives et les expériences des éducateurs utilisant les TIC dans l’éducation en Afrique peuvent enrichir la théorie, la pratique et la politique éducatives et permettre d’avoir une meilleure compréhension du concept d’appropriation comme processus de changement culturel. / This research investigates how and why educators in West Africa, in Mali in particular, pedagogically appropriate information and communication technologies (ICT) and with what effects. Appropriation involves integrating newness into one’s very being and mobilizing it strategically to meet contextualized objectives, often in resistance to the status quo. It is assumed that ICT use is shaped by the values and objectives of users as well as by the local and global hierarchies of the milieus in which they are used. Qualitative research methods and interpretive approaches revealed meanings educators give to their reality and experiences. Interviews were conducted with 31 persons: 23 primary through high school teachers, six university professors, and two administrators. As educators digested ICT, it became part and parcel of their beings and everyday lives. As they adapted it to their milieus, they worked as cultural agents, mediating between ICT and society. The professors in particular expressed desires to use ICT to facilitate and enhance African participation in global debates and scholarly production and to transform how Africa and Africans are projected and perceived. Educators harnessed ICT for its transformative possibilities. The changes apparent in student-teacher relations (more interactive) and classrooms (more dialogical) suggest that ICT can be a catalyst for pedagogical change, including in document-poor contexts and ones weighed down by legacies of colonialism. Learning from the perspectives and experiences of educators pioneering the use of ICT in education in Africa can inform educational theory, practice and policy and deepen understandings of the concept of appropriation as a process of cultural change.

This thesis is focused on the impact of media literacy in terms of the ability of high school students to interpret political advertisement. In the part of this thesis the reader will be introduced into the concepts of modern democracy and mass media as its important part especially, within the context of politics, in the pre-election period. The reader will be provided an insight into the issue of the influence of mass media on citizens who are exposed to the products of political marketing. Due to the focus on high school students, this thesis mentions research domestic one as well as international that puts together terms as politics- media-teenagers. The second part of this thesis is designed as a research aimed at the impact of media literacy on the students' skills to analyze a political advertisement as well as their civic attitudes. The research is conducted as a qualitative comparison of statements of the analytical abilities of students who took part in media literacy course with those who did not. Key terms: democracy, elections, political campaign, political marketing, political advertisement, media, mass media, media literacy, high school education

Studies have shown that creative mathematically founded reasoning (CMR) outperforms algorithmic reasoning (AR) in regards to retention and (re)construction of knowledge. This suggests that creativity should be encouraged in national high-school mathematics curricula. The aim of the present study is to compare how creativity is framed in different national high-school mathematics curricula, using the following definition: creativity is the characteristics of people, processes, and environments which lead to new and original products that are useful or otherwise attractive to an individual or a society. Utilizing content and discourse analysis, the present study thus contrasts how the high-school mathematics curricula of Singapore, Hong Kong, Sweden, and Norway handle and value creativity, and also examines which role creativity takes in each curricula. Findings suggest that Singapore’s curriculum emphasizes creativity the most, and frequently does so in relation to assessment. Hong Kong’s curriculum is found to emphasize creativity in diverse ways, often using words with connotations to playfulness. Analysis of Sweden’s curriculum indicates a relatively minute focus on creativity, tending to put it in a teacher-centered context. A feature of Norway’s curriculum is an increasing emphasis on creativity as courses approach tertiary education. This also suggests a rising value of creativity in its curriculum. A similar though not as pronounced trajectory is found also in Singapore’s curriculum. In the Asian and Norwegian curricula, creativity is expressed both as a means and an end, while in Sweden’s curriculum it is only seen as an end. The results are discussed in terms of potential reasons for the prominent national features, and the study also includes an evaluation of the aptness of the suggested definition of creativity, a review of the limitations of the study, as well as propositions for further research. Finally, two recommendations are given to the National Agency for Education in Sweden – Skolverket – based on the results of the study: 1) diversify the emphasis on creativity in the curriculum, and 2) ensure alignment between what teachers value and what Skolverket values with respect to creativity.

A presente pesquisa, de tipo qualitativo e exploratório, é um estudo de caso que enfoca a integração do saber e do fazer na formação do técnico de nível médio na Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo nas décadas de 1970 e 1980. Esse tema tem como referencial a integração do saber pensar e do saber fazer e, portanto, a formação integral do ser humano - sua omnilateralidade - tendo o trabalho como princípio educativo, inclusive o trabalho escolar. Dessa forma, o estudo teve que se estender até a década atual, ano de 2007, uma vez que o ensino integrado na referida instituição perdurou de 1965 até 1999, quando a Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo transformou-se em Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica de São Paulo - CEFET-SP. Ocorre que o Decreto n.º 2.208/97 do presidente Fernando Henrique Cardoso proibiu o curso técnico integrado ao médio e o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva permitiu a volta dessa integração com o Decreto n.º 5.154/04. Com isso, tendo-se como parâmetro a importância do curso médio integrado, ou seja, cursos técnicos compostos por disciplinas propedêuticas aliadas às disciplinas técnicas, a pesquisa foi estendida até os dias atuais. Procurou-se entender a conjuntura em que foi criada a Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo, isto é, o Estado de Segurança Nacional, o Projeto Brasil-Potência e o \"milagre econômico brasileiro\", numa relação quase direta com a demanda de técnicos para as multinacionais, cuja tecnologia moderna e padrão produtivo taylorista/fordista do capital demandavam técnicos para comporem, juntamente com os engenheiros, a \"gerência científica\". Foi destacada a Lei n.º 5.692/71 e sua profissionalização compulsória, valorizando os cursos técnicos de forma exagerada. Foram analisadas as causas da excelência da Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo, o papel da classe média ocupando espaços públicos até profissionalizantes para sua ascensão social, a importância da função do técnico nas décadas de 1970/1980 e atualmente, assim como a função do técnico e do tecnólogo no padrão produtivo atual toyotista/taylorizado do capital. A investigação embasou-se, além de muitos documentos secundários, em várias entrevistas com engenheiros e técnicos de empresas particulares, com professores e funcionários administrativos do CEFET-SP, com alunos e exalunos do CEFET-SP e da Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo, em depoimentos de professores e ex-professores, familiares de ex-professores, além de documentos primários da Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo, como Livros de Registro de Matrículas, Registro de Diplomas e Relatórios de Gestão do Diretor de 2005 e 2006. A pesquisa resultou em opiniões muito favoráveis ao retorno do curso médio integrado, pela qualidade de ensino que oferece aos alunos, apontando, ainda, que a função do técnico de nível médio é ainda muito importante para as empresas e, se seu cargo como intermediário entre projeto e execução é desvalorizado, isso ocorre devido ao salário baixo, concorrência com estagiários, engenheiros e cursos concomitantes ou seqüenciais de qualidade inferior com a vigência do Decreto n.º 2.208/97. Vale registrar que o CEFET-SP é um dos últimos CEFETs do país que ainda não integrou o curso médio ao técnico. / This qualitative and exploratory research is a case study focusing on the integration between knowing and doing in the education of high school technicians at \"Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo\" (Federal Technical School in São Paulo) in the 1970\'s and 1980\'s. The reference for this subject is the integration between knowing how to think and knowing how to do and, so, the integral education of the human being - his omnilaterality - considering work as the educational principle, including school work. Therefore, the study had to be brought as far as to the present decade, up to the year 2007, as the integrated education at such institution lasted from 1965 to 1999, when \"Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo\" became \"Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica de São Paulo\" (Federal Center of Technological Education in São Paulo) - CEFET-SP. According to Decree no. 2.208/97 by President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, the technical course and high school integration was forbidden, but President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva allowed such integration by Decree no. 5.154/04. Thus, taking as a guideline the importance of the integrated high school course, that is, of the technical courses composed of propaedeutical subjects combined with technical subjects, this research was extended up to the present date. The circumstances under which \"Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo\" was created were analyzed, such as the National Security State, the \"Projeto Brasil-Potência\" (Brazil-Potency Project) and the \"Brazilian economic miracle\", in an almost direct relationship with the demand for technicians in multinational companies, which modern technology and taylorist/fordist production pattern of the capital required technicians to constitute the \"scientific management\" together with engineers. Law no. 5.692/71 and its compulsory professionalization were pointed out, under which the technological courses were exaggeratedly regarded. The causes for the excellence of \"Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo\" were examined, as well as the role of the middle class occupying public and professionalizing positions for its social ascension, the importance of technicians in the 1970\'s and 1980\'s and nowadays, besides the role of technicians and technologists in the present toyotist/taylorized production pattern of the capital. Besides being based on several side documents, the research was based on many interviews with engineers and technicians from private companies, with CEFET-SP teachers and employees and with students and alumni from CEFET-SP and \"Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo\"; also on testimonies by teachers and former teachers, former teachers\' relatives, as well as on primary documents from the school, such as Enrollment and Diploma Registration Books and the Principal\'s Management Reports dated 2005-2006. The research resulted in very favorable opinions for the return of the integrated high school course, due to the quality of education offered to the students; it also pointed out that the role of the high school level technician is still of high importance to the companies and, if his linking job between project and execution is underestimated, it is due to low salaries, competition with trainees and engineers and concomitant or sequential courses of poorer quality after Decree no. 2.208/97 became effective. It is worth noticing that CEFET-SP is one of the last CEFETs around the country which has not integrated the high school level course to the technical course yet.

Technological developments related to the new forms of production organization turned to require a new profile of worker, different from that one who was imposed by rigidity and fragmentation of the Taylor and Ford?s system. Taking into consideration that thechanges in thework areheterogeneous and comprehending that they need to be analyzed in relation to the geographic region and to the productive sector in which they occur, delimited as an object of study the conditions of employment and labor of agricultural technicians who work in the CRAJUBAR Triangle, (it is how is popularly called a specific territory in the region of Cariri in the Southern Cear?). Our aim was to analyze how the productive restructuring process imposed reforms to the educational systems and caused the crisis to agriculture, affecting the new graduates?s procedures and formation trajectories from the Cratocampus of the Instituto Federal do Cear? (IFCE/Crato). It is a basic research of qualitative analysis and descriptive approach in which was used as data collection instruments, the following primary sources: a) internal documents of IFCE Crato (Institutional Development Plan, Institutional Pedagogical Plan, Educational Project Course, school records of recently new graduates ones and subjects guidelines); b) questionnaires applied to teachers, businessmen and landowners; c) transcription of interviews applied to businessmen and rural producers; d) field diary (record of visits to farmers). For a characterization of the agricultural production in the Crajubar Triangle we used statistical data from IPECE and IBGE. The data which were analyzed reveled that the student?s process of technical-professional education of IFCE/Crato were influenced by the conceptions of the School-farm System and by the conventional agriculture, without taking account of studies about family agriculture (the major responsible for agricultural production in the CRAJUBAR Triangle). The chances of employment for the graduates of IFCE/Crato on medium and large range agricultural companies are very rare. The real job opportunities are in the companies of technical assistance and rural extension, which ones that aim to assist farming families to develop a model of agriculture that must be compatible to the semi arid Northeast region. However, the process of technical-professional education in IFCE/Crato is based on the effort to insert technological advances into the production processes of agribusiness. This option, on the detriment of the studies about family farming, distanced the qualification process of students of IFCE/Crato from reality of farming on the CRAJUBAR triangle, revealing the belief in the universality and neutrality of technology as if it could be simply transplanted business model to the family agricultural development model. Nevertheless, this apolitical character of the technical-professional education of IFCE/Crato adds itself to the fact of the main opportunity for integration of graduates to the labor market consist on the offering of temporary work, with flexible relations and poor working conditions offered, by a public company of the Cear? State. / A crise no ac?mulo do capital que vem ocorrendo h? quase quatro d?cadas nos pa?ses capitalistas trouxe profundas mudan?as nos modos de produ??o e no mundo do trabalho. Os avan?os tecnol?gicos relacionados ?s novas formas de organiza??o da produ??o passaram a exigir novo perfil de trabalhador, diferente daquele imposto pela rigidez e fragmenta??o do taylorismo-fordismo. Considerando que as mudan?as no mundo do trabalho s?o heterog?neas e compreendendo que as mesmas precisam ser analisadas em rela??o ? regi?o geogr?fica e ao ramo produtivo em que ocorrem, delimitamos como objeto de estudo as condi??es de emprego e de trabalho de t?cnicos em agropecu?ria que atuam no Tri?ngulo CRAJUBAR, Regi?o do Cariri, no Sul do Estado do Cear?. Nosso objetivo foi analisar como o processo de reestrutura??o produtiva imp?s reformas aos sistemas educacionais e ocasionou a crise na agropecu?ria, afetando as trajet?rias de forma??o e atua??o de egressos do Campus Crato do Instituto Federal do Cear? (IFCE/Crato). Trata-se de uma pesquisa b?sica, de an?lise qualitativa e de car?ter descritivo que utilizou como instrumentos de coleta de dados as seguintes fontes bibliogr?ficas prim?rias: a) documentos internos do IFCE/Crato (Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional, Plano Pedag?gico Institucional, Projeto Pedag?gico de Curso, registros escolares de alunos egressos e ementas de disciplinas);b) question?rios aplicados aos docentes, empres?rios e propriet?rios rurais; c) transcri??o de entrevistasa empres?rios e produtores rurais; d) di?rio de campo (registro de visitas aos produtores agr?colas). Para uma caracteriza??o da produ??o agr?cola do Tri?ngulo CRAJUBAR, utilizamos dados estat?sticos do IPECE e do IBGE. Os dados analisados revelaram que o processo de forma??o t?cnico-profissional dos alunos do IFCE/Crato foi influenciado pelas concep??es do Sistema Escola-Fazenda e da agricultura convencional, sem contemplar estudos sobre a agricultura familiar (principal respons?vel pela produ??o agr?cola no Tri?ngulo CRAJUBAR). As chances de emprego para egressos do IFCE/Crato em empresas rurais de m?dio e grande porte s?o rar?ssimas. As oportunidades efetivas de trabalho est?o nas empresas de assist?ncia t?cnica e extens?o rural que t?m como objetivo auxiliar as fam?lias rurais a desenvolver um modelo de agricultura compat?vel com o semi?rido nordestino. Por?m, o processo de forma??o t?cnico-profissional no IFCE/Crato est? baseado no esfor?o em inserir avan?os tecnol?gicos nos processos de produ??o do agroneg?cio. Esta op??o, em detrimento dos estudos sobre agricultura familiar, distanciou o processo de qualifica??o dos alunos do IFCE/Crato da realidade da agropecu?ria do Tri?ngulo CRAJUBAR, revelando a cren?a na universalidade e neutralidade da tecnologia como se esta pudesse ser simplesmente transplantada do modelo empresarial para o modelo de desenvolvimento agr?cola familiar. N?o obstante, este car?ter despolitizado da forma??o t?cnico-profissionaldo IFCE/Crato se soma ao fato de a principal oportunidade de inser??o de seus egressos no mercado de trabalho consistir na oferta de trabalho tempor?rio, com rela??es trabalhistasflexibilizadas e condi??es de trabalho precarizadas, por parte de uma empresa p?blica estadual do Cear?.
