This work aims at analyzing and reflecting on the stories of English teacher education at the Modern Languages course. My specific goals were to observe and narrate pre-teachers' English learning and teacher education stories, besides my own teaching stories as a language teacher and the continuous education process I lived throughout the inquiry. The research was carried out alongside some undergraduate students attending a critical-reflexive English learning course at a Brazilian Federal University. I was also a researcher-participant. The theoretical background used to discuss pre-teachers' and my own English teaching and learning stories includes Wallace (1991), Celani (2001), Cristóvão and Szundy (2008), Gimenez (2007), Ifa (2006), Teixeira-da-Silva (2006), Mello (2004), Telles (2004) and Motta- Roth (2001). Yet, Carr and Kemmis' (1988), Schön s (1983, 2000), Van-Manen's (1990) and Diamond's (1991) perspectives guided some of the discussions. The research theoreticmethodological approach I used in the inquiry was Clandinin and Connelly's (2000) Narrative Inquiry perspective. The field texts that I composed emerged from the activities of MOODLE, students' and my e-mails exchanges, field notes written by me during the experiences lived in the classroom, the course curriculum and activities and the diaries written during the research process. These documents were viewed with the lens of Ely, Vinz, Downing and Anzul's (2001) interpretative perspective, who sustain possibilities for composing meanings in the research. In reconstructing the lived experiences, I composed the themes: stories of being a teacher, stories of being a researcher, stories of using technology and stories of English language teaching. These themes that emerged out of the pre-teachers' and my own stories point out to the learning that I, the researcher, and the participants could experience through the research process we lived. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar e refletir sobre as histórias de formação do professor de inglês no curso de Letras. Meus objetivos específicos foram observar e narrar histórias de aprendizagem dos alunos em relação à língua e sua formação docente, além de analisar minha própria experiência de formação continuada vivida durante todo o processo de pesquisa. O contexto desta pesquisa foi a disciplina Língua Inglesa: aprendizagem críticorreflexiva do curso de Letras de uma universidade federal brasileira e os participantes foram os alunos dessa disciplina e eu como pesquisadora-participante. A partir das discussões teóricas sobre formação do professor, de acordo com Wallace (1991), Celani (2001), Cristóvão e Szundy (2008), Gimenez (2007), Ifa (2006), Teixeira-da-Silva (2006), Mello (2004), Telles (2004) e Motta-Roth (2001), minha fundamentação teórica traz algumas perspectivas de formação de professores, baseadas na pesquisa-ação de Carr e Kemmis (1988), no paradigma reflexivo, conforme Schön (1983, 2000), na abordagem hermenêutico-fenomenológica (VAN-MANEN, 1990) e na pesquisa educacional com base nas artes, segundo Diamond (1991). A perspectiva teórico-metodológica que utilizei foi a pesquisa narrativa, conforme Clandinin e Connelly (2000). Os textos de campo que compus partiram das atividades da plataforma MOODLE, dos e-mails trocados entre mim e os participantes, das notas de campo escritas por mim durante as aulas observadas, da ementa da disciplina, das atividades de sala e dos diários que escrevi durante o processo de pesquisa. Analisei esses textos de campo conforme Ely, Vinz, Downing e Anzul (2001), que sustentam possibilidades de composição de sentidos. Ao reconstruir as experiências vividas compus os temas: histórias de ser professor, histórias de ser pesquisador, histórias de uso da tecnologia e histórias de ensino de língua inglesa. Esses temas apontam os tipos de aprendizagem vividos pelos participantes de pesquisa, durante o processo vivenciado. / Mestre em Estudos Linguísticos

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Mestre em Estudos Linguísticos / Este estudo narrativo investigou a experiência de construção de um planejamento de aulas de inglês, delineado a partir das vozes de alunos do primeiro ano do ensino médio de uma escola da rede pública estadual de Minas Gerais. Por um período de dois meses, a professora participante e eu construímos um planejamento de aulas de inglês que buscou se aproximar de uma perspectiva interdisciplinar de ensino e escrevemos sobre esta experiência em diários, relatos e notas de campo. A partir do estudo deste material documentário, sob a perspectiva teórico-metodológica da pesquisa narrativa, segundo Connelly e Clandinin (2000), foi possível recontar nossas histórias com planejamentos e destacar alguns aspectos emergentes de nossa experiência. Ainda, compreender como estes aspectos figuraram na imagem do planejamento elaborado e reconfiguraram alguns paradigmas de planejamento de aulas de inglês da professora participante e meus. Algumas vertentes teóricas, ligadas a conceitos e práticas curriculares e interdisciplinares, são apresentadas e discutidas de modo a problematizar o foco em questão neste estudo. Perspectivas curriculares, segundo autores como Schawb (1962), Dewey (1938; 1976), Connelly e Clandinin (1988; 1995), Mello (2005) e, ainda, perspectivas interdisciplinares, segundo Japiassú (1976), Fazenda (1978; 1997) e Freire (1987; 1996) são destaques neste trabalho. Dentre os aspectos emergentes da experiência, que deram forma à imagem do planejamento das aulas de inglês, destacaram-se: o entusiasmo, as surpresas, insatisfações, a esperança, os aspectos responsorial e relacional do planejamento, a insegurança de aproximar língua inglesa e interdisciplinaridade e os desafios de se planejar aulas. Este estudo se encontra na área de ensino e formação de professores de línguas estrangeiras da Linguística Aplicada, poderá colaborar com discussões neste campo e, possivelmente, com a prática de professores de inglês como língua estrangeira.

Motiva por la pregunta “Qué variaciones y giros son producidos y experimentados a partir de los desplazamientos territoriales?” la presente tesis fue desarrollada en un formato narrativo a través del cruce de relatos autobiográficos de ocho sujetos nómada, entre los cuales me incluyo. La construcción de la tesis se realizó por medio de diferentes caminos que producen encuentros: con autores cuyo pensamiento y escrita transitan por la perspectiva de los Estudios de la Cultura Visual; con literaturas diversas que me facilitaron pensar y ampliar las nociones sobre el tema problematizado; con imágenes producidas en medio de los desplazamientos y halladas al azar; de aquellos que despiertan ciertas películas, en un paseo a la deriva, en una visita a un museo y en las conversaciones con aquellos que colaboraron con la investigación. Metodológicamente, la tesis fue realizada de acuerdo a los presupuestos de la Investigación Narrativa y de la Investigación Cartográfica. La orientación teórica y argumentativa del tema fue tramada con bases en las nociones de nomadismo, a través de autores como Deleuze y Guattari, Rosi Braidotti y Onfray. El concepto deleuzo-guatariano de desterritorialización fue también incorporado al estudio como una manera de cartografiar los movimientos realizados por los participantes de la investigación. Adicionalmente, en medio de mis recorridos teóricos propongo algunas reflexiones en torno a los desplazamientos en diálogo con Rolnik; Preciosa; Lopes; Maffesoli, entre otros. Esta tesis defiende en su escrita la posibilidad de reinvención potenciada por el acto de dejar un territorio, inicialmente geográfico, pero que aquí fue entendido como otro tipo de dominio, es decir, dejar aquello que se instaura como seguro y familiar, con el fin de lanzarse en busca de algo todavía no vivido, que está latente y se configura como territorio de experimentación. En este sentido, tales movimientos se configuran como tres paisajes que titulo de la siguiente manera: “Callejeo”; “Uno en la casa, otro”; “Quién dentro de si no sale…Todos ellos tan mutables y movedizos como la condición de estar viviendo un desplazamiento. A través de estos paisajes presento algunos desarrollos conceptuales que posibilitan, a mi modo de ver, una comprensión de lo que se desplaza en nosotros cuando nos desplazamos. / By presenting as research focus territorial movements lived as transits and changes of subjective and geographical nature, the effort permeating this PhD dissertation has been in the search for exploring what happens, and how the work subjects experience this moment. Boosted by the question “What changes and twists are produced and experienced through territorial movements?”, this dissertation was developed in a narrative format through the interweaving of autobiographical reports from eight nomadic subjects, among whom I am included. The dissertation construction was made by different paths, which promote encounters: with authors whose thinking and writing transit through the perspective of Visual Cultural Studies; with several literatures which promote thinking and widening the notion on the problematized theme; with images produced within the movements and found lurking around; what is felt in certain movies in a drifting stroll, in a visit to the museum, and in conversations with those who collaborate to the investigation. Methodologically, the dissertation was developed according to the principles of Narrative Inquiry and Cartography. The theoretical and argumentative orientation on the theme is based on the notions of nomadism, by means of authors such as Deleuze and Guattari, Rosi Braidotti and Onfray. The deleuze-guattarian concept of deterritorialization is also incorporated in the work in order to catograph the movements produced by the research participants. Among the theoretical paths some reflections are proposed around the movements/displacements in dialogues with Rolnik; Preciosa; Lopes; Maffesoli, among others. This dissertation defends in its writing the possibility of reinvention potentialized by the act of leaving a territory, initially geographical, but understood here as other types of domain, that is, leaving what presents itself as safe and familiar in order to go after something not lived yet, which is latent and configured as territory of experimentation. In this sense, such movements are configured as three landscapes that I have named: “Callejeo”; “Um em casa, outro”; “Quem de dentro de si não sai...” All of them are changeable and unstable in terms of the condition to be living a displacement. By means of landscapes some unfoldings are presented, which make possible a way of seeing and, to a certain extent, of understanding what changes in us while we move around. / Apresentando como foco investigativo os deslocamentos territoriais, vividos como trânsitos e mudanças de ordem geográfica e subjetiva, no decorrer da tese o esforço esteve na busca por explorar o que passa, o que acontece, e como os sujeitos implicados neste trabalho vivenciam este movimento. Tomada pela pergunta “Que mudanças e torções são produzidas e experienciadas a partir de deslocamentos territoriais?” a tese foi desenvolvida num formato narrativo a partir do entrecruzamento dos relatos autobiográficos de oito sujeitos nômades, entre os quais me incluo. A construção da tese fez-se por diferentes caminhos que provocam encontros: com autores cujo pensamento e escrita transitam pela perspectiva dos Estudos da Cultura Visual; com literaturas diversas que proporcionam pensar e ampliar as noções sobre o tema problematizado; com imagens produzidas em meio aos deslocamentos e achadas à espreita; daquilo que é sentido em certos filmes, num passeio à deriva, numa visita a um museu, e nas conversações com aqueles que colaboram com a investigação. Metodologicamente, a tese foi realizada segundo os pressupostos da Investigação Narrativa e da Cartografia. A orientação teórica e argumentativa acerca do tema aconteceu com base nas noções de nomadismo, por meio de autores como Deleuze e Guattari, Rosi Braidotti e Onfray. O conceito deleuze-guattariano de desterritorialização é também incorporado no trabalho como forma de cartografar os movimentos produzidos pelos participantes da pesquisa. Ainda, em meio aos percursos teóricos são propostas algumas reflexões em torno aos deslocamentos em diálogos com Rolnik; Preciosa; Lopes; Maffesoli, dentre outros. A tese defende em sua escrita a possibilidade de reinvenção potencializada pelo ato de deixar um território, inicialmente geográfico, mas que aqui foi entendido enquanto outros tipos de domínio, ou seja, deixar aquilo que se apresenta seguro e familiar, a fim de lançarse em busca de algo ainda não vivido, que está latente e configura-se como território de experimentação. Neste sentido, tais movimentos se configuram como três paisagens que intitulo: “Callejeo”; “Um em casa, outro”; “Quem de dentro de si não sai...” Todas elas tão mutáveis e movediças quanto a condição de estar vivendo um deslocamento. A partir das paisagens são apresentados alguns desdobramentos, que possibilitam um modo de ver e, em certa medida, de compreender o que se desloca em nós quando nos deslocamos.

Abstract This study explored mathematical identity work by drawing on the cases of Finnish and Slovenian pre-service elementary teachers. All cases reported having had negative experiences with mathematics during their school years. These experiences were shown to have a central meaning for pre-service teachers’ mathematical identities. However, identity also extends to the future. For this reason, pre-service teachers’ anticipations of the future were also explored. The concepts of narrative identity (Ricoeur, 1992) and possible selves (Markus & Nurius, 1989) were applied in the context of mathematics education. The overall narrative perspective of the study enabled a psycho-social understanding of identity. The special interest of the study was confined to an understanding of the role that educational contexts play in pre-service teachers’ mathematical identity work. Narrative inquiry was applied as a research methodology. In-depth interviews invited pre-service teachers to construct narratives of their mathematics-related experiences. These narratives were analysed holistically and categorically, as well as in terms of content and form. The findings showed striking similarities in pre-service teachers’ school-time memories. The cases in question felt like victims of their own mathematical experiences. The anticipations of mathematics teaching were also underlined by the challenges rooted in their school-time experiences. However, a surprising finding was that the identity work in which the Finnish and Slovenian cases engaged during their teacher education differed substantially. The main reasons for the differences in identity work seemed to stem from different emphases and pedagogical practices in mathematics education courses within the Finnish and Slovenian teacher education settings. The study argued that identity work can be facilitated during teacher education. To begin such a process, it would be central to focus on pre-service teachers’ biographical context through narrative pedagogical tools. The findings also showed that neglecting issues from school-time experiences might engender further challenges for pre-service teachers’ future mathematics teaching. Finally, the study argued for the need to openly address identity during teacher education. The significant theoretical contribution of the study is the conceptualisation of ‘mathematical identity work’. / Tiivistelmä Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin matemaattista identiteettityötä suomalaisten ja slovenialaisten luokanopettajaopiskelijoiden kokemusten kautta. Opiskelijoiden mukaan heillä oli ollut omana kouluaikanaan kielteisiä matematiikan opintoihin liittyviä kokemuksia, joilla osoitettiin olevan negatiivisia vaikutuksia opiskelijoiden matemaattisiin identiteetteihin. Koska tutkimuksessa korostuu identiteetin tulevaisuusaspekti, tarkastelun kohteina olivat opiskelijoiden tulevaisuuteen liittyvät toiveet ja odotukset. Tutkimuksessa sovellettiin narratiivisen identiteetin (Ricoeur, 1992) ja mahdollisten minuuksien (Markus & Nurius, 1989) käsitteitä matematiikan opetuksen kontekstissa. Identiteetin ymmärtämisen psyko-sosiaalisena ilmiönä mahdollisti narratiivinen näkökulma. Erityinen huomio kohdistettiin siihen, millainen merkitys kasvatuksellisilla konteksteilla on luokanopettajaopiskelijoiden matemaattisessa identiteettityössä. Tutkimusmetodologiana käytettiin narratiivista tutkimusta. Opiskelijat kertoivat syvähaastatteluissa matematiikkaan liittyvistä kokemuksistaan. Nämä narratiivit analysoitiin holistisesti ja kategorisesti ottaen huomioon myös niiden sisältö ja muoto. Tuloksista ilmenee merkittävää samankaltaisuutta luokanopettajaopiskelijoiden omaan kouluaikaan liittyvissä muistoissa. Monet esimerkiksi kuvailivat itsensä uhreiksi. Myös tulevaan matematiikan opetukseen liittyvät ennakko-odotukset olivat värittyneet opettajaopiskelijoiden omaan kouluaikaan liittyvien haasteellisten kokemusten kautta. Yllättävä tulos oli se, että suomalaisten ja slovenialaisten opiskelijoiden luokanopettajakoulutuksen aikainen identiteettityö erosi huomattavasti toisistaan. Erojen pääsyynä ovat nähtävästi erilaiset painotukset ja käytänteet opettajankoulutuksen matematiikan pedagogisissa opinnoissa. Tutkimus osoittaa, että identiteettityötä voidaan pyrkiä edistämään opettajankoulutuksen aikana. Prosessin aloittamiseksi olisi tärkeää kohdentaa huomio opettajaopiskelijoiden elämäkerrallisiin konteksteihin soveltamalla narratiivisia pedagogisia työkaluja. Sillä että omaan kouluaikaan liittyviä kokemuksia ei oteta huomioon, voi olla kielteisiä heijastuksia opettajaopiskelijoiden tulevaan matematiikan opetukseen. Tutkimuksen mukaan identiteetti on syytä ottaa avoimesti tarkasteluun opettajankoulutuksen aikana. Tutkimuksen teorian kannalta merkittävä anti on termin matemaattinen identiteettityö käsitteellistäminen.

For a 25-year period during the apartheid era in South Africa, all school-leaving white men were issued with a compulsory call-up to national military service in the South African Defence Force. It is estimated that 600 000 men were conscripted between 1968 and 1993, undergoing military training and being deployed in Namibia, Angola and South Africa. The purpose of this system of military conscription was to support both the apartheid state’s role in the “Border War” in Namibia and Angola and the suppression of anti-apartheid resistance within South Africa. It formed part of the National Party’s strategy of a “total response” to what it perceived as the “total onslaught” of communism and African nationalism. While recruiting and training young white men was the focus of the apartheid government’s strategy, all of white South African society was caught up in supporting, contesting, avoiding and resisting this system in one way or another. Rather than being a purely military endeavour, conscription into the SADF therefore comprised a social and political system with wide-ranging ramifications. The 1994 democratic elections in South Africa heralded the advent of a very different political, social and economic system to what had gone before. The focus of this research is SADF conscripts’ narrations of identity in the contested narrative terrain of post-apartheid South Africa. The thesis begins with a contextual framing of the historical, social and political systems of which conscription was a part. Drawing on narrative psychology as a theoretical framework, the thesis explores discursive resources of whiteness, masculinities and perceptions of threat in conscripts’ narrations of identity, the construction of memory fields in narrating memories of war and possible trauma, and the notions of moral injury and moral repair in dealing with legacies of war. Using a narrative discursive approach, the thesis then reflects on historical temporal threads, and narrative patterns that emerge when analysing a range of texts about the psychosocial legacies of conscription, including interviews, research, memoirs, plays, media reports, video documentaries, blogs and photographic exhibitions. Throughout the thesis, conscripts’ and others’ accounts of conscription and its legacies are regarded as cultural texts. This serves as a means to highlight both contextual narrative negotiations and the narrative-discursive patterns of conscripts’ personal accounts of their identities in the post-apartheid narrative terrain. The original contribution of this research is the development of conceptual and theoretical framings of the post-apartheid legacies of conscription. Key to this has been the use of narrative-based approaches to highlight the narrative-discursive patterns, memory fields and negotiations of narrative terrains at work in texts that focus on various aspects of conscription and its ongoing aftereffects. The concept of temporal threads has been developed to account for the emergence and shifts in these patterns over time. Existing narrative-discursive theory has formed the basis for conscripts’ negotiations of identity being identified as acts of narrative reinforcement and narrative repair. The thesis concludes with reflections on the future possibilities for articulating and supporting narrative repair that enables a shift away from historical discursive laagers and a reconfiguration of the narrative terrain within which conscripts narrate their identities. / Also known as: Edlmann, Theresa

Every year many immigrant families become members of United States communities. Among these are international graduate students whose lives and identities, as well as those of their families, are changed as they negotiate between cultures and experiences. In this study, three Saudi graduate students share their stories about culture, education and literacy. This research employs narrative inquiry to answer the following question: What stories do Saudi immigrant students tell regarding their educational beliefs and experiences, as well as the experiences of their children in the U.S. and in Saudi Arabia? The participants' interview texts are the main data source. The three-dimensional narrative inquiry spaces of temporality, sociality, and place help identify the funds of knowledge in place throughout these narratives. Data analysis uses funds of knowledge as a theoretical lens to make visible the critical events in each narrative. These events point to themes that support the creation of a third space in which the participants negotiate being in two cultures as well as their storying across time to understand their own experiences. Themes of facing challenges, problem solving, adaptation, and decision-making connect these stories and support the discussion of findings within the personal, practical, and social justifications for this narrative inquiry. The participants' negotiation of being in two cultures as revealed here serves as a resource for educators in understanding the instructional needs of immigrant families. The findings also have the potential to contribute to changing existing misconceptions about this minority group and other immigrant groups. In a rapidly growing global community as the United States, such narratives provide insights that invite personal understandings and connections among diverse people.
