No. of bitstreams: 1 JÚLIO CESAR DA SILVA.pdf: 2967746 bytes, checksum: 7d706fdfbf1a01e547533f698bed80e2 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-09-11 / The present work, inscribed in the line of research Theories of Education and Pedagogical Processes, aimed to explain how the difficulty of learning of children in schooling processes is configured. This investigation was based on questions regarding the meaning attributed to the concept of learning difficulty and the way in which the school conceives, deals with and / or forwards children with difficulties. The theoretical contributions of Vygostky in his historical-cultural perspective on learning and learning difficulties, Bernard Charlot on the relationship with knowledge, Tiballi and Patto, on school failure, among others, formed the basis of analysis and foundation of this work . Methodologically, field research was used in three schools in the city of Goianira-GO, two public and one private. Procedures such as interviews, referrals, questionnaires and the ethnographic type survey of school characteristics were adopted. The pedagogical evaluation of learning and content evaluation was also used, with the children referred by the schools as having significant learning difficulties, which prevent the monitoring of school contents. Through the research, systematization and analysis of the data obtained, we explained the relation between the teacher and the child with the difficulty of learning. The results indicated that the children investigated do not have difficulties that impede learning, but are stagnated in certain and different moments of learning that, disregarded by the school in the process of teaching learning, end up allowing the maintenance of situations of school failure. / O presente trabalho, inscrito na linha de pesquisa Teorias da Educação e Processos Pedagógicos, objetivou explicitar como se configura a dificuldade de aprendizagem de crianças em processos de escolarização. Essa investigação se estabeleceu a partir de questionamentos referentes ao sentido atribuído ao conceito de dificuldade de aprendizagem e do modo em que a escola concebe, lida e/ou encaminha crianças com dificuldades. Os aportes teóricos de Vygostky, em sua perspectiva histórico-cultural, sobre aprendizagem e dificuldade de aprendizagem, Bernard Charlot sobre a relação com o saber, Tiballi e Patto, sobre o fracasso escolar, dentre outros, constituíram a base de análise e fundamentação desse trabalho. Metodologicamente foi utilizada a pesquisa de campo em três escolas do município de Goianira-GO, sendo duas públicas e uma privada. Foram adotados procedimentos como entrevista, encaminhamentos, questionários e levantamento do tipo etnográfico das características das escolas. Utilizou-se também da avaliação pedagógica da aprendizagem e avaliação de conteúdos, com as crianças encaminhadas pelas escolas como detentoras de dificuldades de aprendizagem significativas, que impedem o acompanhamento dos conteúdos escolares. Por meio da pesquisa, da sistematização e análise dos dados obtidos, explicitamos a relação do professor e da criança com a dificuldade de aprendizagem. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que as crianças investigadas não possuem dificuldades que impedem o aprendizado, mas encontram-se estagnadas em determinados e diferentes momentos de aprendizagem que, desconsiderados pela escola no processo de ensino aprendizagem, acabam por permitir a manutenção de situações de fracasso escolar.

As the need for educational reform is increasingly recognized, so too is the need for effective professional development (Guskey, 2000). Historically the evaluation of professional development experiences has been limited to exit surveys, noticeably failing to examine the long-term impact of the effort. This study assessed the impact on the classroom learning environment of a yearlong, job-embedded professional development opportunity for middle-school mathematics teachers. The application of learning environment instruments to the evaluation of professional development is a unique feature of this study. The research employed the Questionnaire on Teacher Interactions (QTI) and a modified version of the What Is Happening In this Class? (WillIC) survey with over 1000 middle-school mathematics students in 57 classrooms in the state of Washington. Both instruments were administered at the beginning and end of the school year. Teacher interviews were conducted with a sample of participants in order to further illuminate the impact of the professional development. Data from the study were examined for changes in the learning environment and to cross-validate the QTI and WIHIC with this specific population. Results indicate that the QTI and WIHIC are valid and reliable with the middle-school population is this study. Statistical analyses of learning environment data indicate that any pretest-posttest changes that were observed are mostly likely too small to be of educational significance. This study contributes to a better general understanding of the impact of this professional development, and its findings could be utilized in the preparation of future professional development opportunities.

Background: The Routes for Learning (RfL) assessment is intended to enable accurate assessment of the cognitive and communication skills of pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD). A literature search revealed that there is little published research regarding the implementation or effectiveness of RfL. This study aimed to begin to address this lack of research by investigating some of the ways in which the RfL materials are used in practice, why they have been used in these ways and how this relates to the RfL guidance. Participants: Two special school settings were identified while working for an Educational Psychology Service. For each setting a practitioner using RfL and a staff member with leadership responsibility for assessment/RfL was identified. Methods: A multiple embedded case study was conducted in two special school settings in a North West local authority. A running record was kept of observations made of school staff using RfL in practice. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with practitioners using RfL and staff members with leadership responsibility for RfL. All interviewees also completed a background questionnaire to provide context for the research and to support data from interviews. Interviews were recorded and transcribed. An examination of the RfL materials and resources was undertaken. Analysis/Findings: All interview data were analysed using thematic analysis and the findings presented as thematic maps. Conclusion/Implications: This study found that RfL is being used in different ways in special schools and identified a number of issues which relate to its use and implementation.

Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Weiterentwicklung des bewegten Lernens im Rahmen des pädagogischen Konzepts der bewegten Schule. Grundlegend neu ist hierbei die Fokussierung auf den Teilbereich des bewegten Lernens in den Sekun-darstufen I und II in Mittelschule und Gymnasium. Auf der einen Seite soll dessen Bedeutung im bewegten Unterricht genau analysiert und auf der anderen Seite seine praktische Umsetzung unterstützt werden. Es wird auf der Grundlage einer Literaturanalyse geprüft, wie das bewegte Lernen in den verschiedenen Konzepten im deutschsprachigen Raum verstanden wird. Durch eine weitere Literaturanalyse wird untersucht, ob und in welchen Formen das bewegte Lernen im englischsprachigen Ausland praktiziert wird. Das in Sachsen verwandte didaktisch-methodische Material zum bewegten Lernen in den Sekundarstufen I und II wird dahingehend analysiert, ob es stringent nach den Hauptzielstellungen Schaffung eines zusätzlichen Informationszugangs und Op-timierung der Informationsverarbeitung gegliedert wurde. Innerhalb einer empirischen Untersuchung soll festgestellt werden, welche Qualität das in Sachsen angewandte didaktisch-methodische Material zum bewegten Lernen in den Sekundarstufen I und II hat. In einer abschließenden empirischen Untersuchung wird geprüft, wie bewegtes Lernen in der Sekundarstufe I von Schülern wahrgenommen wird.
