Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a viabilidade da educação online como estratégia de formação continuada de professores de música em exercício na educação básica. O método de pesquisa utilizado foi a pesquisa-ação, que consistiu de um curso online sobre tecnologia na educação musical destinado a professores de música de escolas públicas situadas no Estado do Pará. Oito professores aceitaram participar da pesquisa. Foram utilizadas três técnicas de pesquisa: questionário auto-administrado, observação participante e entrevista semiestruturada. Os resultados da presente pesquisa indicam que as bases para criação de programas de formação continuada de professores de música em exercício na educação básica, por meio da educação online, estão na concepção metodológica que a orienta, na gestão eficiente do ambiente, na adequação do material didático disponibilizado ao conteúdo do curso e no apoio institucional. / This study aimed to investigate the viability of online education as a strategy for inservice music teacher education. The research method used was the actionresearch, which consisted of an online course on music technology for in-service music teachers of public schools situated in the State of Pará, Brazil. Eight teachers agreed to participate in this research. Three research techniques have been used: self-administered questionnaires, observation and semi-structured interviews. The results point out that the basis for the creation of in-service music teacher education programs, using online education, resides on the conception that orient the program, on efficient administration of the environment, on adequation of the teaching material available to the content of the course and on the institutional support.

This research investigates the contributions of the reflective teaching to pre-service English teacher education and it is justified by the need of discussing the perspectives to language teaching education in Brazil. From both qualitative analytical-descriptive and analytical-interpretative methods, it aims at identifying the kind of reflection made by three pre-service English teachers during their experience on internship. It seeks to check if the reflections move theoretical references and if there can be changes in teachers‟ behavior when it comes to their teaching practice through reflection. The theoretical references used are Pimenta & Lima (2002) concerning teachers‟ internship; Huberman (1995) and Hughes (1996) concerning the profile of beginning teachers; Dewey (1933), Schön (1982), Perrenoud (2002), Liston & Zeichner (1996) and Alarcão (2003) concerning the definition for reflective teacher. / Esta pesquisa investiga as contribuições da prática reflexiva para a formação inicial do professor de inglês e justifica-se pela necessidade de discutir as perspectivas para a formação de professores de línguas no Brasil. De cunho qualitativo analíticodescritivo e analítico-interpretativo, tem o objetivo de identificar quais são as reflexões feitas por três professores de inglês em formação ao longo do estágio supervisionado. Busca-se verificar ainda se as reflexões mobilizam referências teóricas e se há mudanças no comportamento dos professores em relação à sua prática a partir da reflexão. As referências teóricas utilizadas são Pimenta & Lima (2002) acerca do estágio supervisionado; Huberman (1995) e Hughes (1996) sobre o perfil do professor iniciante; Dewey (1933), Schön (1982), Perrenoud (2002), Liston & Zeichner (1996) e Alarcão (2003) na definição e discussão da prática reflexiva. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados são utilizados a escrita do diário reflexivo, entrevistas de explicitação e observações de aula.

Este tema é oriundo dos questionamentos realizados pela autora no transcorrer da sua trajetória formativa, assistencial e atualmente como gestora da formação de futuros profissionais em saúde. Com o objetivo de analisar a institucionalização da preceptoria em saúde em uma unidade hospitalar geral do Município de Duque de Caxias realizamos um estudo qualitativo com abordagem socioclínica institucional, na modalidade de análise das práticas profissionais. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa em 06/06/2014, através do parecer 679.754. A coleta de dados foi realizada no período de setembro de 2014 a março de 2015, através de entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas e uma oficina de trabalho com os preceptores. Um diário de pesquisa foi construído ao longo do estudo e serviu de base para a análise das implicações da pesquisadora com seu objeto de estudo. Os sujeitos da pesquisa envolvidos são os profissionais de saúde que atuaram como preceptores dos acadêmicos bolsistas na unidade. Da leitura flutuante dos dados emergiram eixos temáticos que foram analisados a luz dos conceitos da análise institucional francesa Lourau-lapassedeana, sobretudo o de instituído, instituinte, institucionalização, implicação e analisador. A pesquisadora identificou os analisadores: convite aos preceptores na participação da pesquisa e o tempo como fator determinante na preceptoria. A partir dos resultados da pesquisa, elaboramos uma metodologia para a construção de diretrizes que venham apoiar a discussão coletiva dos profissionais de saúde que atuam como preceptores, no sentido de elaborarem em conjunto, um programa de preceptoria para o Hospital deste estudo. Concluímos que a reflexão coletiva da instituição preceptoria em uma unidade hospitalar pode motivar a transformação pessoal e profissional dos sujeitos envolvidos na formação profissional em saúde e, consequentemente, na melhoria da qualidade da assistência prestada à nossa população. / In this study collectively we reflected about the practice of health professionals in the course of training in health service. This theme comes from the questioning conducted by the author in the course of her educational career, assistential and currently as managing the training of future health professionals. In order to analyzing the institutionalization of mentoring in health in a general hospital unit in the Municipality of Duque de Caxias we conducted a qualitative study with institutional socioclinical approach, under the analysis mode of professional practices. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee on 6th July 2014, by the opinion 679.754. Data collection was conducted from September 2014 to March 2015, through semi-structured individual interviews and a workshop with tutors. A daily research was built throughout the study and served as the basis for analysis of the implications of the researcher with her subject of study. The subjects of the survey involved are health professionals who acted as tutors of academic fellows in the unit. From the initial reading of the data emerged themes that were analyzed in light of the concepts of French institutional analysis Lourau-lapassedean, especially the instituted, instituting, institutionalization, implication and analyzer. The research identified the analyzers: invitation to preceptors in the share of research and time as a determinant factor in the preceptorship. Since we take the result of the research, we developed a methodology for building guidelines to support the collective discussion of health professionals that acting as preceptors, to designing together a preceptorship study plan to the hospital. We concluded that the collective reflection of the institution preceptorship in a hospital unit can motivate personal and professional transformation of those involved in vocational training in health and, consequently, improving quality of care to our population.

The purpose of this study is to explore the question of whether or not graduate schools in social work have adequately prepared social workers to deal with the changing needs of individuals with disabilities.

The purpose of the study was to explore problems encountered in the teaching and learning of statistics in grade 11 and to offer ways of addressing them. A convenient sample of 100 grade 11 mathematics teachers and 448 grade 11 mathematics learners participated in the study. A descriptive survey design was used. Data were collected from the teachers using a teacher questionnaire, classroom observation schedule and teacher interview, and from learners through the use of a learner questionnaire, classroom observation schedule, diagnostic test and learner interview. The validity and reliability of all these instruments was established. Descriptive statistics and frequencies were used to analyse learner questionnaires, teacher questionnaires and learners‟ responses to a diagnostic test. Teacher and learner interviews were transcribed and classified according to themes. Classroom observations were analysed by using themes and checking for similarities and differences. The results showed that teachers had difficulty with the interpretation and calculation of measures of dispersion; representation and interpretation of data on graphs or plots; determining the five number summary; constructing and interpreting probability diagrams and tables; and interpreting probability terminology. Also, the results showed that learners experienced difficulties when using graphs to predict the results; interpreting and determining measures of dispersion; computation of quartiles when the total number of data values was even; representing data on graphs or plots; interpreting and determining measures of central tendency; constructing and interpreting probability graphs and tables; and interpreting probability terminology. The results found possible causes of the teachers‟ difficulties to be (1) their lack of statistics content knowledge; (2) inadequate textbooks; (3) in-service programmes which did not cover statistical topics, or which did not pay adequate attention to probability; and (4) teachers failure to attend these in-service teacher workshops. Further, the findings of the study were that the probable causes of learners‟ difficulties were (1) inadequate teaching of statistics topics in previous grades; (2) teachers‟ lack of content knowledge in statistics meant they had difficulty explaining concepts to learners; (3) inadequate learning material and learners‟ inability to use the statistics function mode on their calculators; and (4) learners‟ lack of conceptual knowledge of certain aspects of statistics. Lastly, the results of the study found that the possible ways to address the problems in the teaching and learning of statistics in grade 11 to be: (1) teachers should receive financial support from their schools/districts to attend in-service education and training programmes; (2) textbooks should be well written (provide thorough explanations) and contain all the information necessary to teach data handling and probability (i.e. formulae, more examples); (3) in-service teacher programmes should meet the needs of the teachers by offering topics that teachers find difficult to teach; and (4) more and longer inset programmes on probability, preferably five-day workshops, should be arranged. / Mathematics Education / M.

Os Projetos Especiais de Ação pertencem à história dos professores da rede municipal há quase vinte anos. Implantados, primeiramente, como uma ferramenta para as escolas gerenciarem melhorias em seus contextos, constituem, atualmente, o principal instrumento da formação docente em serviço. Tal formação objetiva provocar efeitos totalizantes, alcançando práticas institucionais e efeitos individualizantes, incitando cada professor a dar visibilidade às suas ações educativas a fim de recompô-las em modos particulares de pensar, fazer e dizer a profissão. Portanto, aliam-se, nos Projetos, uma tecnologia governamental, que busca conduzir e formatar ações escolares, e tecnologias do eu, que permitem, a cada indivíduo em formação, operar mudanças em si mesmo. Daqui, abrem-se e desenvolvem-se os capítulos iniciais do presente trabalho. Um capítulo dedicado a acompanhar disposições legais, publicações oficiais e acontecimentos que foram conformando os Projetos Especiais de Ação à formação docente no âmbito do trabalho; o outro, empenhado em delinear uma lógica de funcionamento desses instrumentos a partir de três eixos permanentes nas diversas configurações que tomaram ao longo das gestões municipais: a autonomia, a centralidade do aluno e a totalização das práticas em favor de alguma qualidade de ensino. Tais eixos acomodaram e levaram aos professores uma miríade de concepções de ensino e educação, mas também delimitaram as regras pelas quais as mudanças na escola e a própria formação poderiam ser pensadas. Contudo, este trabalho filia-se aos referenciais pós-estruturalistas e aos estudos de Michel Foucault, construindo a análise do ponto de vista das relações de poder e dos processos de subjetivação. Por isso, ao aproximar-se da vida que se vive nos tempos e espaços concretos de formação, depara-se com um campo aberto a múltiplas possibilidades de realização. Desse terreno, um horário coletivo de uma Escola Municipal de Educação Infantil, onde as professoras agem, pensam, falam, brincam, riem e produzem-se, destacaram-se os termos teoria e prática e o discurso da vitimização docente. Os primeiros elementos são utilizados intensamente para definir os posicionamentos profissionais e as relações estabelecidas com a formação em serviço; e o segundo fundamenta as maneiras de lidar com a profissão, normaliza o magistério e a infância e modula uma certa terapêutica do espaço formativo. Vidas ressentidas, doentes e frustradas por uma formação que não realiza a escola idealizada, regozijam-se nas satisfações e nos prazeres mais imediatos, mesmo que estes sejam fugazes. As professoras refutam colocar o presente em questão, entregando-se a posturas queixosas; dão as costas à política, restringindo-se a não aderir às propostas públicas de formação; e não assumem o risco de educar, apegando-se aos seus saberes, creditados como tipicamente docentes, e às formas habituais de pensarem a profissão. Não se pretende uma atitude ajuizadora dos modos de esses sujeitos constituírem suas existências profissionais, mas acredita-se que, para se imaginar novos desenhos para a formação em serviço ou para assumi-la como importante ou dispensável para a docência, é preciso perguntar sobre o que se tem feito, atualmente, nos tempos e espaços destinados aos professores pensarem sua profissão. / The Projetos Especiais de Ação (Special Project of Action) belong to the history of the municipal school teachers for almost twenty years. Deployed first as a tool for schools to manage improvements in their contexts, constitute today the main instrument of in-service teacher education. That education intents to cause totalizing effects, achieving the institutional practices and individualizing effects, inciting, each teacher, to show their educational actions to recomposition of them in particular ways of thinking, doing and saying the profession. Therefore, ally, on the Projects, a government technology, which seeks to conduct and format the school actions and technologies of the self which allow to every individual in education to operate changes in yourself.

One section dedicated to follow the legal dispositions, the official publications and the happenings that had been conformed the Projetos Especiais de Ação (Special Project of Action) to in-service teacher education; the other one engaged to design a working logic of this instruments from the three permanent axles in different settings which took over the municipal administrations: the autonomy, the centrality of the student and the aggregation of efforts in favor of some quality of teaching. Those axels placed and conducted a plenty of educational conceptions to the teachers, but also delimited rules by which the school changes and the education could be thought. However, this research is affiliated to the poststructuralist references and to the Michel Foucaults studies, developing the analysis from the power relations and the subjectivity point of view. Therefore, when approaching the life that is lived in the factual time and place of education, it faced with a filed open to multiple possibilities of achievement. In this field, a collective time of a public school early childhood education, where the teachers act, think, speak, play, laugh and produce themselves, it was detached the terms theory and practice and the teaching victimization discourse. The first elements intensively used to define the professional positioning and the relations established with the in-service education. The second one based ways of dealing with the profession, normalizes the teaching and the childhood and modulates a certain therapeutic of the education. Resentful, sick and frustrated lives for an idealized school that cannot be implemented rejoice themselves with the more immediate satisfactions and pleasures, even if fleeting. The teachers refute to put the present into question, indulging in complainant postures; turning their backs on politics, restricted to ignore the proposed of public in-service education; and do not taking the risk of educating, clinging to their knowledge, credited as typically teaching, and to the habitual ways of thinking about the profession. Do not want an attitude of censorship of the ways the subjects constitute their professional existences, but it is believed to imagine new designs for the in-service education or to take it as important or dispensable for teaching, it is necessary to ask what has been done, nowadays, in times and places for teachers thinking their profession.

Like so many aspects of South African society, teacher education is undergoing change. The researcher studied existing school-based in-service education and training (SBINSET) programmes in the Northern Province and to improve the programmes, proposes Continuous Self-Renewal School-Based INSET (CSR SB INSET). Based on the extensive literature survey, strategies that would improve effective educational transformation are identified. Different concepts of INSET are explained. Components of teacher education are examined as are those factors that influence educational transformation. Advantages and limitations are identified and guidance on how to overcome these are suggested. The aim of this study was to examine INSET towards educational transformation with reference to primary schools in the Northern Province in order to introduce and assess a CSR SBINSET. The study examines the existing SBINSET programmes which are run in the Northern Province. The importance of teachers' continued professional growth is emphasised throughout this study. The researcher views systematic in-service training programmes for teachers as an educational necessity for the continuing professional growth of primary school teachers. An empirical survey has been undertaken to ascertain the effectiveness of CSR SBINSET and the type of delivery strategy that may be implemented.The research considers particular aspects of classroom practice addressed in the programme. The research was guided by the following questions: + Which methods do teachers use in their subject teaching? + What are their approaches to learners and learning? + How do teachers reflect on their teaching? + What strategies do teachers use? This research aims to improve existing SBINSET programmes run in the Northern Province inter alia by observing practising teachers. CSR SBINSET attempts to improve the competencies teachers, lecturers and District Officials, through such means as the presentation of centre-based, school-based and cluster-based workshops. Although the educational authorities should take initiative to provide educational transformation, the following share responsibility in this vital aspect of education: + those in the Department of Education who are responsible for planning; + superintendents of education within districts and regions; + training institutions such as universities, technikons, colleges and private agencies. The importance of and necessity for, continuous professional development of primary school teachers by means of SBINSET programmes, is emphasised. / Educational Studies / D. Ed. (Didactics)

Curriculum 2005 together with its learning areas has been introduced in South Africa in 1998. All learning areas, except Technology Learning Area, are not new. Technology is growing so rapidly that it gives so many challenges to people. These challenges include making technology part of our curriculum, formulating and adapting technological solutions to problems people may experience. We have to ask ourselves what technology or Technology Education means. Therefore, this study provides the meaning and the rationale for Technology Education in our curriculum. This study also attempts to shed light on the form of training educators should attend for Technology Education. Although there are different methods of training, for example PRESET and INSET, this study concentrates on various forms of INSET. INSET is chosen because it is a means through which the present need for Technology Education educators can be solved. The percentage of educators involved in part-time study will increase in relation to the number in full-time education. The closing down of some of colleges of education in South Africa reduces the use of PRESET and increases INSET as a means of educator training. The advantages of using INSET instead of PRESET are provided in this study. The National Teacher Audit of 1995 has shown that the quality of INSET in South Africa is poor. In addition, it seems the present ad hoc way of running INSET will not cope with challenges of training educators for Curriculum 2005 and Technology Education. Normally, INSET is the prime strategy for addressing problems in PRESET. Unfortunately, INSET has to train educators for Technology Education (Technology Learning Area) which was never touched by PRESET before. For this reason, this study provides an INSET model, guidelines and recommendations to make the suggested model of INSET work successfully. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Comparative Education)
