Este trabalho é sobre um modelo metodológico desenvolvido para investigar um curso de Especialização em Ensino de Ciências (Física, Química e Biologia) para professores em serviço do Estado de São Paulo. O curso foi ofertado pelo governo paulista por meio programa REDEFOR junto à Faculdade de Educação da Universidade de São Paulo. Testamos o modelo construindo indicadores para uma amostra de 400 planos de ensino produzidos durante o curso por 246 professores. A partir da leitura e interpretação dos planos selecionados na amostra e de respostas dadas às enquetes aplicadas ao longo do curso, investigamos o uso das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) na proposição de atividades de ensino. Para automatizar o processo, incorporamos ao modelo três programas computacionais: o NVIVO, o EXCEL e o SPSS que, combinados com técnicas de análises qualitativas e quantitativas o fortaleceram. Vários testes estatísticos puderam ser empregados nas análises realizadas com os indicadores construídos, dentre esses, o da regressão múltipla em que os indicadores das enquetes se comportaram como variáveis preditoras (independentes) do estudo e os indicadores dos planos de ensino como variáveis dependentes. Nas enquetes edificamos dois indicadores: Formação (indFOR) e Vida Diária e Trabalho (indVDT) ambos para antes e durante o curso. Confrontamos cada um desses indicadores com indicadores de uso de TIC dos planos de ensino: Quantidade (indQTIC) e Variedade (indVTIC). Na análise da regressão múltipla, os resultados mostraram que apenas os indicadores indVDT-antes e indVDT-durante apresentaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas em suas médias para a quantidade e para a variedade de uso de TIC. A associação dos dois indicadores de Vida Diária e Trabalho com cada indicador dos planos de ensino foi fraca em torno de 0,25, ou seja, aproximadamente 5% da variância da quantidade ou da variedade do uso de TIC poderiam ser explicadas pelo conjunto de indicadores. Aprofundamos a investigação de indTICenqVDTd via análise de Cluster para identificar os grupos estatisticamente significativos nessa variável em conjunto com os indicadores de uso de TIC de quantidade e variedade e com o indicador de notas oficiais das SD. Encontramos dois grupos, sendo que o primeiro (grupo 1) detinha os melhores resultados (em média) em todos os indicadores. Já o segundo grupo (grupo 2) apresentou os piores resultados (em média) de todos os indicadores incluídos na análise de Cluster. A combinação das respostas dadas a itens de enquetes com a quantidade e a variedade de uso de TIC encontrada nas SD e com o desempenho expressos pelas notas oficiais das SD, nos levaram a concluir que, quando o professor conhece as TIC e as utiliza durante seu ato de planejar, a qualidade do plano de ensino tende a melhorar e, isso poderá, como consequência, trazer melhorias para a qualidade de suas aulas. O modelo metodológico que desenvolvemos é versátil e o consideramos como a principal contribuição deste trabalho para a área da Educação. Por ele, outros recursos utilizados em aulas como: atividades experimentais, músicas, poesias, histórias em quadrinhos, receitas de culinária etc. poderiam ser mensurados e investigados. / This work is about a methodological model developed in order to investigate a course of specialization in science education (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) for in-service teachers of the State of São Paulo. The course was offered by the state government through the REDEFOR program in the Faculty of Education, University of São Paulo. We tested the model building indicators for a sample of 400 education plans produced during the course by 246 teachers. From the reading and interpretation of the plans selected in the sample and the answers to surveys applied throughout the course, we investigated the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in proposing educational activities. To automate the process, the model incorporated three computer programs: NVIVO, EXCEL and SPSS which strengthened it, by combining with techniques of qualitative and quantitative analysis. Several statistical tests could be used in analysis with built indicators, among these, the multiple regression in which the indicators behaved as predictor variables (independents) and the indicators of educational plans as dependent variables. With the surveys we build two indicators: Formation (indFOR) and Daily Life and Work (indVDT) for both before and during the course. We compared each of these indicators with ICT use indicators of educational plans: Quantity (indQTIC) and Variety (indVTIC). In the analysis of multiple regression, the results showed that only the indVDT-before indicators and the indVDT-during statistically had significant differences in their average for the amount and the variety of ICT use. The association of the two indicators of Daily Life and Work with each indicator of educational plans was weak around 0.25, ie about 5% of the variance in the amount or variety of ICT use could be explained by the set of indicators. We deepen the research indTICenqVDTd via Cluster analysis to identify statistically significant groups in this variable together with the amount of ICT use indicators and variety and the indicator of official notes of SD. We found two groups, the first (group 1) held the best results (on average) in all indicators. The second group (group 2) showed the worst results (on average) of all indicators included in the cluster analysis. The combination of responses to polls items with the quantity and variety of ICT use found in SD and performance expressed by the official notes of SD, led us to conclude that when the teacher knows ICT and use it for your act of planning, syllabus quality tends to improve, and this may, as a consequence, bring improvements to the quality of their classes. The methodological model we have developed is versatile, considered as the main contribution of this work to the area of Education. For it, other resources used in classes as experimental activities, songs, poetry, comics, cooking recipes etc. They could be measured and investigated.

A formação de professores de Ciências na modalidade a distância tem se constituído em uma opção para os gestores governamentais no desenvolvimento de programas formativos no Brasil e no exterior. Contudo, a problemática que envolve a implantação desses programas é complexa e demanda certa organização conforme os contextos em que eles se realizam na forma de ações articuladas entre os sujeitos em atividade coletiva nas estruturas que constituem os referidos processos. Uma abordagem teórica promissora para a pesquisa desses programas é a Teoria dos Sistemas de Atividade (ENGESTRÖM, MIETTINEN e PUNAMÄKI, 1999). Foi no escopo dessa teoria que se pesquisou um curso de Especialização em Ensino de Ciências, oferecido na modalidade a distância em caráter de formação continuada, organizado pela Universidade de São Paulo em parceria com a Secretaria de Educação do Estado de São Paulo, no âmbito do Programa REDEFOR. Dentre um conjunto de sistemas de atividade, em que atuaram centenas de sujeitos, com seus objetos de atividade específicos, foi selecionado o Sistema de Atividade relacionado à aprendizagem do professorcursista. Para pesquisar seu ciclo de desenvolvimento, definiu-se como ferramenta analítica o ciclo expansivo de desenvolvimento, um constructo teórico inscrito no quinto princípio da Teoria dos Sistemas de Atividade. Ao determinar-se a escala para o ciclo de aprendizagem expansiva Produção de Sequência Didática, Participação em Fórum e Realização do TCC foram designados mediociclos de aprendizagem, que, por hipótese, configuraram o macrociclo de aprendizagem pesquisado. Com base em critérios qualitativos e quantitativos, foi selecionado a partir da amostra um professor-cursista e seu ciclo expansivo de desenvolvimento foi investigado em análise microgenética. Os resultados da pesquisa indicaram que esse professor-cursista vivenciou conscientemente os três mediociclos expansivos, interagiu autonomamente e demonstrou uma significativa evolução qualitativa em cada um deles, ou seja, desenvolveu-se como sujeito professor a partir da aprendizagem no Curso. Igualmente, os resultados indicaram que a organização de cursos de formação continuada de professores de Ciências na modalidade a distância pode ser assentada nos princípios da Teoria dos Sistemas de Atividade. / The training of science teachers in the distance modality is becoming an option for government managers in the development of training programs in Brazil and abroad. However, the problems involved in implementing such programs are complex and take some organization issues as the contexts in which they are realized in the form of coordinated actions between subjects in collective activity structures that constitute these processes. A promising theoretical approach to study these programs is the Activity Systems Theory (ENGESTRÖM, MIETTINEN e PUNAMÄKI, 1999). In the scope of this theory, one has investigated the course of Specialization in Science Teaching, offered in the distance modality for in-service purposes that has been organized by the University of São Paulo in partnership with the Department of Education of the State of São Paulo, under the REDEFOR PROGRAM. Among one set of activity systems, in which hundreds of subjects have been acted with specific objects of activity, one has selected the Activity System related to the learning of the teacher in training to investigate her/his developmental cycle. The expansive cycle of development has been defined as the analytical tool, one theoretical construct principles of the fifth principle of AST. In order to determine the scale of the expansive learning cycle, one has designated three learning mediocycles, Production of Teaching Learning Sequences, Participation in the Forum and Elaboration of End-of-study Masterpiece, which hypothetically have constituted the learning macrocycle. Based on qualitative and quantitative criteria, one has selected a teacher in training and his/her expansive cycle of development has been investigated in terms of microgenetic analysis. The results indicated that this teacher in training has consciously experienced the three expansive mediocycles, he/she has autonomously interacted and he/she has demonstrated a meaningfull and qualitative evolution in each of them, in other words, he/she has developed as a subject from the learning in the Course. Also, the results have showed that the organization of in-service teacher training courses in the distance modality might be arranged taking into account the principles of the Activity System Theory.

The diploma thesis comprehensively introduces the issue of in-service training of pedagogical staff with a focus on secondary school teachers as one of the areas of school self-evaluation. In-service teacher training comes to the fore as it goes hand in hand with the quality of training. In its first part, it identifies the basic definitions needed to understand the topic of school self- evaliation and in-service teacher training, then it defines the legislative framework ensuring in- service teacher training, strategic documents and other plans. Last but not least, it defines the objectives and forms of in-service teacher training and briefly outlines the situation in Europe with a focus on international surveys. Using content analysis, the thesis evaluates three annual reports of the selected secondary school. Furthermore, standardized structured interview was held with the school management and also a standardized questionnaire is distributed among pedagogical staff of the selected secondary school. Based on the obtained data, the thesis monitors the views of school management and teachers on this very issue including their motivation, conditions for development, possibilities for in-service training or the process of putting the acquired knowledge. into practice in the context of the results of...

Preparing student teachers for constructivist teaching about society in primary grades Michaela Dvořáková Abstract The content of primary social studies could be described as cultural universals - domains of human existence that form part of everybody's experience. Despite that, children do need a skilled instruction helping them to elaborate these topics. We suppose that for the constructivist teachers, deep content knowledge and pedagogic content knowledge is necessary to elaborate and conceptualize children's experiences. In this thesis, we wanted to learn more about the knowledge base of pre-service teachers. To explore the education students' content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of social studies topics, we elicited students' concepts related to the topic of family using concept mapping. Then we performed the content analysis of the obtained concepts. We tried to determine whether pre-service teachers rely on their prior knowledge (including misconceptions) of family or whether they use the knowledge gained in social science classes at the high school or at our university. Students do not use their academic knowledge gained in social studies classes spontaneously, but they are able to do when prompted. An important part of pedagogical content knowledge of a social studies teacher are the...

Ausgehend von narrativen Interviews, Beobachtungen und gemeinsamen Erfahrungen während eines interkulturellen Lehrerfortbildungsprojekts im ländlichen Haiti wird in dieser Arbeit ein detailliertes Bild der Lebenswelt ausgewählter haitianischer Grundschullehrer/-innen gezeichnet. Insbesondere wird den Fragen nachgegangen, welchen Hindernissen diese Lehrer/-innen in ihrer eigenen Ausbildung begegneten, welche professionellen und sozialen Herausforderungen ihre alltägliche Berufsausübung mit sich bringt und wie ein genaues Verstehen ihres Hintergrunds und ihres Alltags dazu beitragen kann, sowohl die Qualität ihres Unterrichts als auch ihre sozio-ökonomischen Aussichten zu verbessern. Verspätete und unzureichende Ausbildung, ein geringer Verdienst und herausfordernde Arbeitsbedingungen, sowie weitgehende Vernachlässigung durch den Staat kennzeichnen die Realität dieser Lehrer/-innen. Dennoch zeigen sie Elan und vertrauen auf eine bessere Zukunft. In dieser Studie kommen die haitianischen Lehrer/-innen selber zu Wort. Darüber hinaus wird der Prozess der interkulturellen Kommunikation und Reflexion, der mit einem solchen Projekt und einer derartigen Recherche einhergeht dokumentiert. / This study offers a detailed description of selected Haitian primary school teachers’ living and working conditions based on narrative interviews, observations, and common experiences during a cross-cultural in-service teacher training program in rural Haiti. The research is focused on the following questions: What type of obstacles did primary school teachers in rural Haiti encounter in their own education, what professional and social challenges are faced in the daily routines of these teachers, and how can a thorough knowledge of both their backgrounds and the conditions of their current lives help to improve the quality of their teaching as well as their prospects for socio-economic advancement? The reality of these teachers is characterized by a delayed and limited education, low remuneration and challenging working conditions, as well as a more or less complete lack of state support. Nevertheless, they demonstrate vitality and trust in a better future. Central to this study are the Haitian teachers’ viewpoints, but the process of cross-cultural communication and reflection going on during such a program and research is documented as well.

La littérature scientifique internationale montre la réalité des apprentissages informels des enseignants sur leur lieu de travail, au sein des établissements scolaires. Toutefois ces apprentissages présentent plusieurs limites et sont qualitativement de moins bonne qualité que les apprentissages réalisés en environnement organisé. La présente recherche a précisément pour objet le développement professionnel des enseignants expérimentés à travers un dispositif de formation continue prenant en compte leurs apprentissages informels. Cette étude s’inscrit dans un programme de recherche anthropoculturel (Bertone, 2011 ; Chaliès, 2012) dont les principaux présupposés théoriques sont empruntés à la philosophie du langage ordinaire (Wittgenstein, 2004). Elle a été menée dans le cadre de deux dispositifs innovants de formation permettant à un enseignant expérimenté (le pair formateur) d’enseigner ostensivement l’une de ses pratiques spécifiques jugées efficaces à un pair enseignant expérimenté (le pair formé). Les principaux résultats de la recherche montrent la modélisation de l’activité professionnelle des pairs formateurs et contribuent ainsi à documenter la recherche internationale sur les apprentissages informels des enseignants du primaire. Ils montrent également l’apprentissage de nouvelles pratiques professionnelles de la part des pairs formés entendu comme l’acquisition de nouveaux systèmes de règles. Les résultats montrent enfin le développement professionnel des pairs formés entendu comme l’interprétation des règles apprises dans des circonstances nouvelles ainsi que le développement réflexif de l’activité professionnelle des pairs formateurs. / The international scientific literature shows the reality of teachers' informal learning in the workplace, within schools. However, these learnings have several limitations and are of lower quality than those that are carried out in an organized environment. The purpose of this research is precisely the professional development of experienced teachers through a professional development program that considers their informal learning.This study is part of an anthropocultural research program (Bertone, 2011; Chaliès, 2012) whose main theoretical assumptions are borrowed from the philosophy of ordinary language (Wittgenstein, 2004). It was conducted within the framework of two innovative training devices allowing an experienced teacher (the peer trainer) to ostensibly teach one of his specific practices considered effective to an experienced peer teacher (the trained peer). The main research results show the modelling of the professional activity of peer trainers and thus contribute to documenting international research on informal learning by primary school teachers. They also show the learning of new professional practices from trained peers understood as the acquisition of new rule systems. Finally, the results show the professional development of the trained peers understood as the interpretation of the rules learned in new circumstances as well as the reflexive development of the professional activity of the trained peers.

At the same time, however, despite the fact that the understanding of some questions concerning this issue has improved significantly, there has been little research focusing more specifically on training in-service teachers. Thus, based on the issues raised above, the aim of this study is to aprehend and analyse meanings produced by teachers as regards their in-service academic training. The present analysis involves qualitative research, whose theoretical and methodological reference background was that of Sociohistorical Psychology. The study was carried out with only one subject, who teaches at the Elementary Level and was a former student of an academic in-service training course. Data were obtained from this subject by means of recurring interviews. The analysis of the data was conducted as from a proposal made by the Signification Nuclei. From the interviews, five signification nuclei were systematised as a means of approximation to the zones of meanings which shape the subject of the research in the process of her academic training. The signification nuclei are as follows: the teaching pedagogical action as a vital human activity; the pedagogical posture of the teaching trainers; the relationship between theory and pratice in the process of academic training; the affective mediation involved in being a teacher; overcoming of difficulties during the academic training period. As to the final considerations, an aspect to be highlighted is how the subject went through the process of her academic training, which not only seems to be commmitted to building up a new teacher but also a new person in her relation to the world. Hence the construction of a new individual, a new humanization / Na atualidade, o tema formação de professor tem ocupado um dos mais importantes espaços no cenário da pesquisa na área das ciências humanas, como a Pedagogia e a Psicologia da Educação. Ao mesmo tempo, porém, em que tem aumentado de forma significativa a compreensão acerca de algumas questões concernentes a esse tema, poucas são as pesquisas voltadas especificamente para a formação do professor em serviço. Dessa forma, com base nas questões acima enunciadas, nosso objetivo geral, neste trabalho, consiste em apreender e analisar os sentidos produzidos pelo professor acerca da sua formação acadêmica em serviço. Trata-se de um trabalho de pesquisa qualitativa, cujo referencial teórico-metodológico utilizado foi a Psicologia Sócio-Histórica. Trata-se, ainda, de um trabalho realizado com apenas um sujeito, que é professor do Ensino Fundamental e ex-aluno de um curso de formação acadêmica em serviço. A obtenção das informações junto ao sujeito ocorreu a partir do uso de entrevistas recorrentes. E a análise dessas informações foi realizada a partir da proposta dos Núcleos de Significação. A partir das entrevistas realizadas, inferimos e sistematizamos cinco núcleos de significação como via de aproximação às zonas de sentidos que configuram o sujeito da nossa pesquisa no processo de sua formação acadêmica. Destaquemos os núcleos de significação: a atuação pedagógica docente como uma atividade vital humana; a postura pedagógica dos professores formadores; a relação teoria e prática no processo de formação acadêmica; a mediação afetiva na constituição do ser professora; a superação das dificuldades vividas na formação acadêmica. No que se refere às considerações finais, um aspecto a ser destacado é o modo pelo qual o sujeito vivenciou o processo de sua formação acadêmica, a qual se configura como uma formação comprometida não apenas com a construção de uma nova professora, mas, de uma nova pessoa na relação com o mundo. Por isso, a construção de um novo indivíduo, de uma nova humanização

The research includes two dimensions: the first one focus the municipal system, exploring the structure set for the in service training programs; and the second one examines this process at two municipal preschools. The research followed a qualitative methodology; it collected and analysed the municipal legal and orientation documents and the written records about the training practices developed by the schools management teams (composed by one principal, one pedagogical adviser and one assistant teacher at each school). Nowadays, teacher s formation is a controversial field, where are reflected different ideas on models for people, school and society. The preschool teacher formation is part of this scene, defined, however, by its own specific features. The specific literature concerning the formation of early childhood education teachers has been asserting the knowledge built about childhood, as relevant in their training programs. . In this sense, this dissertation attributes centrality to this generational category, as a central aspect for the early childhood education teacher s formation. The research results reveal, at the municipal level, several contradictions and a lack of importance given to the early childhood education particularities; at the same time, results show that the municipal documents offer an important general structure for the training process developed at municipal schools. In the two preschools it was observed that conceptions about early childhood education and teacher formation followed more integrated and holistic perspectives, what can be explained by the professionals own formation experiences that showed influences from past external advisors. The research also registered a relative lack of initiative by the teachers at the in service formation programs, in comparison with the active leadership of the management team at each school / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar a formação continuada do professor de educação infantil, desenvolvida no contexto de duas pré-escolas públicas, no município de São Bernardo do Campo, estado de São Paulo. A pesquisa desdobrou-se em duas dimensões: no âmbito do sistema municipal de ensino, investigando as estruturas que normatizam a formação e no âmbito interno às escolas, analisando as práticas formativas desenvolvidas pelas equipes gestoras, por meio de registros escritos dessa prática. A pesquisa adotou uma abordagem qualitativa e utilizou como estratégia de coleta de dados, a análise documental. A formação de professores constitui-se, na atualidade, em campo multirreferenciado e marcado por disputas em defesa de modelos de sociedade, de homem e de escola. A formação do professor de educação infantil insere-se nesse cenário, delimitada, contudo, por especificidades que lhe são próprias. A literatura sobre a formação do professor de educação infantil vem afirmando que os saberes construídos sobre o campo da infância são relevantes na formação desse profissional; esta dissertação aborda os conhecimentos sobre esse campo como elementos fundantes desse processo formativo. Os principais resultados da pesquisa revelam que, no âmbito municipal, a despeito de contradições e da não priorização de uma abordagem específica para a educação infantil, existe um quadro legal prescrito que estrutura a formação continuada nas unidades. No âmbito das pré-escolas investigadas, os resultados indicam que as concepções que balizam o trabalho formativo são mais amplas do que as orientações municipais, sugerindo a contribuição das histórias de formação das equipes gestoras e de assessorias passadas. Observou-se, também, o pequeno espaço ocupado pelo protagonismo docente na formação continuada no lócus escolar, e o papel decisivo assumido pelas equipes gestoras nesse processo
