A program for reducing teacher's resistance to changes in curriculum in centralized education systems. An experience on changes of mathematics text books in Iran based on distinction results

Ketabdar, Zohreh 02 May 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Curricula in concentrated educational systems are prepared from an upper-stream reference and hand over teachers’ disposal. Curricula in Iran are compiled in the so-called math curriculum development office and then put at the disposal of teachers. The researches in this regard show that such plans provide some resistance against executing it which are named teacher - proof programs, even it changed to some extent for accept ion, its execution is suspeciable. This research first explains how math books of middle grade were changed as a result of investigations on TIMSS result in year 1995. These investigation show Iranian Books are weakness in problem solving methods as Polya had said. And so curricula developers in Iran tried to integrate Polya\\\'s method in math books and changed curricula based these frame work. Then, it shows how teachers treated these changes. The finding of analyzing the data has been collected in this research through observations and interviews. It is intended that teachers resist against these changes. Finally according to this research, we suggest a model which we refer if it is used through concentrated educational system, we could expect teachers tolerance against the changes would be decreased and so compiled curricula further matched to executed curricula.

Orientador: Luis Enrique Aguilar / Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Educação / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-07T02:49:49Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Bernardes_VaniaAparecidaMartins_D.pdf: 725444 bytes, checksum: 9436a738f4f54a3108284f7117b194a9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2005 / Resumo: A presente investigação tem como objeto de estudo a constituição da história da formação de alfabetizadoras. Tem-se como propósito reconstituir e analisar a trajetória de seis profissionais nesta área, sendo reconhecidas como boas alfabetizadoras pelas comunidades em que atuam, na rede pública municipal, estadual e federal da cidade de Uberlândia- MG, a partir de 1980. Tal delimitação teve como base da pesquisa as narrativas de fatos relevantes desses sujeitos em que a atuação docente apontou situações vivenciadas que possibilitaram sua constituição e o seu próprio desenvolvimento profissional. Dentro dessa perspectiva, tornou-se possível estabelecer as formas como as mesmas incorporaram na prática a alfabetização como processo de formação. De modo que, para se obter um quadro amplo e significativo a respeito do problema abordado, optou-se por uma metodologia qualitativa de pesquisa, baseada na análise da história oral de vida de seis alfabetizadoras que foram escolhidos para fazerem parte deste estudo. Assim sendo, o que marca a relevância científica desta pesquisa, é a contribuição de investigar e recuperar aspectos históricos, políticos e educacionais da trajetória de formação de alfabetizadoras na cidade de Uberlândia- MG. Portanto, as questões que se colocam são: Quem são as alfabetizadoras consideradas como boas profissionais pela comunidade? O que aconteceu a partir do momento do magistério? O que aconteceu na vida desses sujeitos que hoje são reconhecidos como bons profissionais? Como foram suas trajetórias de formação e atuação? Quais e como os fatos relevantes ocorridos na educação interferiram em suas trajetórias de vida e na constituição dessas profissionais ao longo das duas últimas décadas? Como se deu o processo de constituição dessas alfabetizadoras neste últimos vinte anos? Em outras palavras, extraiu-se das narrativas indícios que permitiram identificar as interações mediadas por outras pessoas em um determinado contexto político-econômico-cultural, sobretudo das influências determinantes de instituições sociais na formação dessas alfabetizadoras. E, ainda, como são construídas as matrizes do seu sistema de conhecimento, suas interpretações diante do papel da prática exercida enquanto alfabetizadoras que, ainda hoje, ocupam importante papel no cenário educacional da cidade de Uberlândia, ora incorporando, ora refutando as doutrinas teóricas e/ou símbolos que são socialmente elaborados. Pressupõe-se uma construção pessoal das alfabetizadoras a respeito das experiências vividas nas interações sociais que mediam a relação delas com a formação docente passando a orientar, transformar e intervir na prática. Neste sentido, pode-se dizer que o desenvolvimento desses sujeitos, reconhecidas como ¿boas alfabetizadoras,¿ aconteceu do plano social para o individual, plano este em que as alfabetizadoras apresentam uma versão singular e personalizada, cultural, social e histórica em que estão inseridas / Abstract: The present investigation deals with study of the historiacal background of Teaching to read-teachers. The purpose of the study is therefore to analyze the lives of 6 professionals in this area, known as good read and writing teachers that work in the city, state and federal public system of the city of Uberlândia-MG since 1980. This particular group was analyzes considering the most important facts that accured during this period that favored their professional growth, within the study, the different ways and reasons that led these teachers to dedicate to the act of teaching to read wee presented. To obtain a broader vision, the research was done using quality methodology to analyze the six teachers that orally told their stories. The stories included historical,political and educational aspects of their lives. Some of the questions to be answered were: Who are the best professionals in the act of teaching to read in our community? What did they do right after graduating from teachers'college? What happened in the following years? What facts best contributed in the formation of these professionals in the last 20 years? By listening to the narrations of these teachers, the survey was able to extract the influences of different people within the political, economical, cultural and social context. Also the schooling background that these teachers receied and the important roll they played was considered as these teachers were held as being the best in the cities educational system. How these teachers related to their teachers influence in the practical aspects of these professional, was studied. Therefore, the survey showed how these good teachers in the art of teaching to read lived, their individuality and their envolvement with the cultural, social and historiacal enviroment in their city / Doutorado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Doutor em Educação

El presente estudio presenta un mejorado modelo de reclutamiento y capacitación enfocado en mejorar la reputación de los médicos y obtener fidelización para retener a buenos especialistas médicos en provincias de Perú y de ese modo incrementar la competitividad y rentabilidad de la organización de salud. Con este propósito, se realizó una prueba piloto del modelo en una clínica de reproducción asistida (ART) con sedes en Chiclayo y Piura controlando el proceso de reclutamiento con artefactos como checklist. Los datos que resultaron después de la implementación fueron analizados utilizando el ratio de éxito en tratamientos de fertilización in vitro (IVF) del nuevo médico contratado, y con una encuesta estructurada de compromiso para determinar el grado de retención. El impacto económico del modelo también fue verificado. La prueba piloto fue aplicada exitosamente en el caso de estudio. En el nuevo modelo de reclutamiento, el nuevo médico obtuvo un porcentaje de éxito de 50% en embarazos IVF. La participación del médico principal se redujo de un 69% a un 48% sin reducir las ventas totales gracias al alto porcentaje de 26% alcanzado por el nuevo médico. El nivel de compromiso logrado por el nuevo médico fue de 96%, sobrepasando el promedio del equipo médico de la clínica de 79%. / The present research presents an improved recruitment and training model focused on increasing physician reputation and obtaining loyalty to retain good physicians in provinces of Perú and thereby increase competitiveness and profitability of the health care organization. For this purpose, a pilot test of the model was implemented in an assisted reproductive technology (ART) clinic based in Chiclayo and Piura using a recruitment process checklist. The data resulted after the implementation were analyzed using the success rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments of the new physician and a structured engagement survey to determine retention by validation. The economic impact of the model was also verified. The pilot test was successfully implemented in the case study. In the new recruitment model, the new physician achieved a success rate of 50% in IVF pregnancies. The main physician participation was reduced from 69% to 48% without a decrease in total sales because of the high percentage of 26% achieved by the new physician. The level of engagement achieved by the new physician was 96%, surpassing the average of the clinic’s medical team of 79%. / Tesis

Influence of Succession Planning on Knowledge Transfer

Ejakpomewhe, Robinson 01 January 2017 (has links)
The problem was the lack of effective succession planning strategies to facilitate the transfer of technical expertise from retiring employees to younger employees. A rebound of oil exploration activities in Nigeria would adversely affect the drilling sector due to lack of preparation and succession planning to meet the demand for technical expertise. The purpose of this case study was to explore how a succession planning program contributes to knowledge transfer and development of expertise for business continuity and prevents loss of knowledge in the oil-drilling sector in Nigeria. Twenty-four participants from one oil-drilling contractor in Nigeria participated in the study. The conceptual framework was guided by knowledge creation theory, succession planning concepts, and transformational leadership theory. Data collection included semistructured face-to-face interviews supplemented with document review. Data analysis involved a traditional text method where data coder pace each piece of data into various categories by hand. This study revealed 4 themes: individual development program, mentoring, on-the-job training, and 360-degree communication. Findings may affect oil-drilling practices by contributing to enhanced succession planning and knowledge transfer initiatives. The implication for positive social change may include the development of individuals for leadership roles and could add to the organization talent bench, and reduce knowledge gaps while ensuring business continuity.

The Product is People: An Investigation of Missile Combat Crew Perceptions Surrounding Standardized Training Curriculum

Hanel, Daniel James 05 1900 (has links)
Missile Combat Crew members are officers in the United States Air Force responsible for operating nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles. They undergo on-the-job training as part of the curriculum necessary to progress in their careers and achieve higher levels of job responsibility. The curriculum they use is created and maintained by 20th Air Force Test and Training Section. This product is known as the Missile Combat Crew Commander Upgrade program, and it has received criticisms from stakeholders who use it for being out of date and failing to capture the necessary topics for ensuring adequate on the job training is being conducted. This project seeks to examine these critiques, break down the curriculum produced by 20th AF into stages (creation, implementation, and feedback) for evaluation, uses principles of user-oriented design drawing on design anthropology to suggest alternative methods for curriculum creation, and utilizes the results of a diagnostic survey to provide data-driven recommendations to 20th AF for future rewrites of their product based on feedback from the crew members who use their product in the field.

Ensino a distância como estratégia de educação permanente em saúde: impacto da capacitação da equipe de Estratégia de Saúde da Família na organização dos serviços / Distance learning as strategy of permanent health education: impact of the Family Health Strategy staff training in the organization of services

Fratucci, Maristela Vilas Boas 06 April 2015 (has links)
A Educação à Distância é uma modalidade de ensino que permite eliminar a separação geográfica entre educador e educando para atender a um número ilimitado de alunos que estejam em busca de formação, capacitação ou atualização profissional. É também, um processo de auto-aprendizado que é incentivado pela utilização de estratégias didáticas bem elaboradas e adequadas às várias situações vigentes. Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo conhecer e explanar a vivência dos alunos do município de Amparo participantes da Especialização em Saúde da Família/UNASUS/UNIFESP, 2012, no processo de ensino-aprendizagem através do ensino a distância mediado por tecnologia e avaliar o impacto da educação permanente na organização dos serviços. Através de um modelo de pesquisa qualitativa, buscou-se estabelecer a percepção dos alunos com relação à metodologia, técnica, estratégias de aprendizagem e mudanças ocorridas nos serviços em que estão inseridos os profissionais capacitados. A metodologia, de natureza qualitativa foi utilizada através de grupos focais como processo de análise, nos encontros presenciais e webconferências, estratificados por eixos estruturantes objeto da pesquisa. O público alvo foram os profissionais formados como especialistas em Saúde da Família pelo curso de UNASUS/ UNIFESP do município de Amparo, 2012. As respostas foram classificadas segundo os eixos estruturantes buscando contextualizar o relato dos atores pesquisados. Após análise e avaliação destes discursos, foram estabelecidas relações e sínteses inerentes ao processo de ensino a distância e avaliação do impacto na organização e implementação dos serviços. Observou-se que, todas as narrativas referem a importância da educação permanente em saúde como eixo propulsor de mudanças nos serviços, e a Especialização em Saúde da Família-UNASUS/UNIFESP foi exímia em qualidade e excelência abrangendo um universo de mais de 4000 profissionais capacitados. Mas oportunamente destacaram, que nem sempre as transformações desejadas acontecem na mesma velocidade do proposto e assimilado pelo curso. Muitos fatores institucionais são barreiras naturais ao avanço de diretrizes e propostas. A práxis da docência traz elementos para que a realidade dos cursos e conteúdos seja apropriada de diferentes formas nos cenários do serviço. Entra neste quesito a habilidade dos profissionais nesta transformação entre o aprendido, apreendido e o executável. A conclusão destaca a importância do reconhecimento que a educação permanente em saúde deve ser sempre incentivada e oferecida aos profissionais, onde seus cenários de prática possam ser reorganizados e fortalecidos, buscando desenvolver propostas qualificadas social e tecnicamente, com aplicabilidade oportunizada por gestores e representantes municipais, estaduais e federais. / Distance Learning is a democratic teaching method that allows eliminating the geographic separation between the teacher and educated to attend an unlimited number of students who seeks graduation or professional refreshment. It is also a self-learning process encouraged by the use of well elaborated teaching resources according to the circumstances and contingencies. The objective of this study was to explore and to expand the experience of the UNASUS / UNIFESP Family Health Specialization Course students from Amparo municipality about the teaching-learning process on technology-mediated distance education and to measure its impact as a continuing education in the service organization. A qualitative research model was used in order to establish the student perception related to the methodology, technique, learning strategies and changes occurred in the services they are related to. In the qualitative nature of the methodology used, the focal groups were used for the analyses process, through face-to-face meetings and web conferences stratified by themes of the object studied. The target audience: professionals from Amparo municipality graduated on UNASUS / UNIFESP Family Health specialization course. The answers obtained were classified by axes to contextualize the researched actors report. After the analysis and evaluation of their speeches, the relations and a summary inherent to the Distance Learning process were established and the impact in the organization and implementation of the service were evaluated. Was noticed that all the narratives concern to the importance of the continuing education in health as a drive shaft of changes in the service. It was also noticed that the specialization was outstanding in quality and excellence. But it was highlighted that the seeking transformation does not always happen in the same velocity as the one proposed by the course. A lot of institutional difficulties are natural barriers to the advance of the guidelines and proposals. The academic praxis brings elements to make the reality of the courses and contents appropriated to different forms in the scenario service. Enters in this point the professional\'s ability in the transformation between the learned and the executable. The conclusion highlighted the importance of the recognition that the continuing education in health must be always incentivized and offered to groups of professionals, where the practical scenarios can be reorganized and strengthened. Seeking to development practical qualified socially and technically with applicability used by the managers and representatives of public power.

Occupational health, safety and ergonomic issues in small and medium-sized enterprises in a developing country

Ahasan, M. R. (M. Rabiul) 09 October 2002 (has links)
Abstracts Data and information accumulated during several years of questionnaire and checklist surveys; site visits and walk-thorough investigations in some small and medium-sized enterprises provided the basis of this thesis. Seven articles are included in this thesis, dealing with workers' physical, physiological, cognitive and psychosocial issues. The data were collected on the target group of workers from different work sites in Bangladesh for a comprehensive assessment of tasks, jobs and ergonomic issues. Jobs and tasks were classified according to the job content and task activity they performed. Most of the subjects were interviewed and some of them volunteered for physiological tests to bring attention to their occupational exposure to potentially strenuous activities in a hot and humid climate. The results showed that their working environment was non-ergonomic, not only because of the work-related problems themselves but also because of stressful tasks, extensive use of muscle force, old machinery, economic constraints, and a lack of enforcement of work regulations and labour legislation. The findings also demonstrated that the workers were associated with an increased risk of occupational hazards due to various local reasons. The results of the case studies give some insight towards a better understanding of health, safety and ergonomics applications that may contribute to bring working society together and initiate a broad-based improvement of the working environment in many developing countries like Bangladesh. The practical concern of this thesis is to improve the design of the workstation as well as to improve a worker's safe manipulation of tools and equipment and control of machinery, critical posture, and so on. This thesis also attempts to contribute the author's own views and suggestions with the hope of drawing workers' and employers' awareness and public attention towards unsafe acts and conditions, and for increasing the implementation of work regulations and labour legislation. In order to discern probable solutions, this thesis implies a prerequisite of low cost engineering solutions in the small and medium-sized enterprises. As such, it outlines applications of locally available technology utilising practical knowledge, which also provide practical approaches so that work-tasks are less stressful but productive, and safe. So, to help ergonomic application to be effective, some technical measures appropriate for local environments are thus illustrated that can be directly implemented in the developing countries like Bangladesh to prevent and control work-related problems. However, the ultimate improvement will depend on the attitude of the people involved at all levels of an interactive system, while health and safety measures are introduced in synchronisation with local systems and/or existing environments. Emphasising the workers' cognitive, psychosocial and socio-economic improvement through self-help and self-care strategies, this thesis also concludes with the belief that the attitude of the local workers, and an indifferent working culture are the arbiters of work-related problems. It is therefore essential that a concrete implementation of locally available measures be made, establishing ergonomic changes in collaboration with all the parties concerned for particular job-tasks and work processes. To help initiate this process, a more work-thorough investigation is necessary through the guidance of co-ordinated research and studies. For this, an understanding of employers' attitudes and workers' involvement is essential; as well as having a grasp of the logic and reasoning behind workplace survey and the need for adequate injury records and work-related information. / Tiivistelmä Väitöskirjaan sisältyy seitsemän artikkelia, jotka käsittelevät työntekijöiden fyysisiä, fysiologisia, kognitiivisia ja psykososiaalisia asioita. Tiedot kerättiin eri kohteista Bangladeshissa keskittyen työtehtävien arviointiin ja ergonomiaan liittyviin tekijöihin. Aineisto on kerätty useiden vuosien ajan kyselykaavakkeiden ja tarkastuslistojen avulla; vierailut ja tutkimukset paikan päällä pienissä ja keskisuurissa yrityksissä muodostivat perustan tälle väitöskirjalle. Työtehtävät jaettiin sisällön ja aktiviteetin mukaan. Tutkimukseen osallistuneita työntekijöitä haastateltiin ja jotkut heistä olivat vapaaehtoisia fysiologisiin testeihin, joilla selvitettiin heidän altistumistaan mahdollisesti rasittaviin töihin kuumassa ja kosteassa ympäristössä. Tulokset osoittivat, että tutkittujen henkilöiden työympäristö oli epäergonominen, ei ainoastaan työhön liittyvien ongelmien takia, vaan myös stressin, liiallisen voimankäytön, vanhojen koneiden, taloudellisten tekijöiden sekä työhön liittyvien säännösten ja lainsäädännön puutteiden vuoksi. Tulokset osoittivat myös, että työntekijöiden riski työtapaturmiin oli kasvanut paikallisten syiden takia. Tulokset auttavat paremmin ymmärtämään terveys-, turvallisuus- ja ergonomiasovelluksia, joiden avulla työyhteisöjen osapuolet voivat käynnistää laaja-alaisen työympäristön parantamisen monissa kehitysmaissa kuten Bangladeshissä. Väitöskirjan käytännöllisen puolen tarkoituksena on työpisteiden ja -paikkojen suunnittelu ja työkalujen turvallisen käytön ja koneiden hallinnan sekä työasentojen edistäminen. Väitöskirja tuo myös esille kirjoittajan omia ehdotuksia ja näkökantoja mahdollisuuksiin lisätä työntekijöiden sekä työnantajien että julkista huomiota, vaarallisiin työtehtäviin ja -oloihin. Väitöstyö pyrkii lisäämään työn säännösten ja työvoimalainsäädännön huomioon ottoa. Työ esittelee myös teknisiä ratkaisuja pieniin ja keskisuuriin yrityksiin. Väitöskirja esittelee sovelluksia, joita paikallisen teknologian puitteissa voidaan käyttää hyväksi. Lisäksi se tarjoaa ergonomisia malleja, jotta työt olisivat vähemmän rasittavia ja sekä tuottavia että turvallisia. Ergonomisen toimenpiteen tehokkuus on pyritty nojaamaan myös paikallisuuteen. Ne voidaan suoraan toteuttaa kehitysmaassa, kuten Bangladeshissä estämään ja kontrolloimaan työperäisiä ongelmia. Kuitenkin lopulliset parannukset riippuvat paikallisten ihmisten asenteista, joita on vuorovaikutteisen järjestelmäkokonaisuuden kaikkien osapuolien tasoilla. Terveys- ja turvallisuustekijät esitetään liitettyinä paikalliseen kulttuuriin ja yhteiskuntaan tai olemassa olevaan ympäristöön. Painottaen työntekijöiden kognitiivisia, psykososiaalisia ja sosioekonomisia parannuksia oman avun kautta tämä väitöskirja myös päätyy siihen, että paikallisten työntekijöiden asenteet ja välinpitämätön työkulttuuri voivat olla työperäisten ongelmien alkusyitä. Sen tähden on olennaista, että paikallisten toimenpiteiden konkreettinen toteutus saadaan aikaan. Ergonomiset muutokset tehdään yhteistyössä kaikkien työprosessin osapuolten kanssa. Jotta tätä kehitysprosessia helpotettaisiin, on tehtävä enemmän toimenpiteitä myös tutkimuksen ja opiskelun alueilla. Tämän takia työnantajien asenteiden ymmärtäminen ja työntekijöiden osallistuminen on olennaista; sekä se, että löydetään käsitys toimenpiteiden logiikasta ja seurauksista työpaikalla. Näiden lisäksi tarvitaan myös onnettomuusrekisteri sekä työtä koskevaa informaatiota.
