From the understanding that the questioning Was ist Aufklärung? guides the diagnosis of Foucault s philosophy in a present-day ontology, we go back in philosophy history and propose that, while Kant elaborates the present from the Aufklärung concept, Foucault lays the foundation of his critical genealogy on the neologism governamentality , which is power technology operating at its full, a research tool, a lens that allows us to see how safety devices work. Leading the discussion towards Education, we realize that the educational praxis is a new way to guide children s behavior nowadays. It is not, however, something entirely detached from the educational praxis that existed until then, typical of a disciplinary society. We should not understand such passages as compartmentalized substitutions from one society to another, once realizing the present we live in a clearer way demands the perception of the shift from a disciplinary society towards a control one, as well as the study of the way this movement is connected, not only to a specific manner of conducting people s behavior but also linked to the so-called education crisis . It seems that today s educational praxis acts as a device that works in harmony with a specific governamentality model. Thus, on thinking of the connection between governamentality and educational praxis today, we realize that the latter is to be found inside a discursive order which supports control society governamentality, and is in turn supported by the former. / Esta Dissertação busca, amparada em categorias do pensamento de Michel Foucault, pensar como a articulação entre poder e governamentalidade contribui para pensar a práxis educacional hoje. A partir do entendimento de que a pergunta Was ist Aufklärung? é a problematização que orienta o diagnóstico da filosofia de Foucault numa ontologia do presente, retrocedo na história da filosofia e proponho pensar que enquanto Kant pensa o seu presente a partir do conceito de Aufklärung, Foucault alicerça sua genealogia crítica no neologismo governamentalidade . Este último é uma tecnologia de poder em pleno funcionamento, uma ferramenta de pesquisa, uma lente que permite enxergar como operam os dispositivos de seguridade. Levando esta discussão para a Educação, percebo que a práxis educacional hoje constitui-se numa nova maneira de conduzir a conduta das crianças. Não se trata, entretanto, de algo absolutamente apartado da práxis educacional que vigorava até então, tipicamente na sociedade disciplinar. Não devemos compreender tais passagens como substituições compartimentalizadas de uma sociedade a outra, uma vez que perceber com maior nitidez o presente em que vivemos exige a percepção do deslocamento da sociedade disciplinar para a sociedade de controle, assim como o estudo da forma como este movimento está vinculado não somente a uma maneira específica de conduzir a conduta das pessoas, mas também ligado à chamada crise da educação . Ao que parece, a práxis educacional hoje atua como um dispositivo que funciona em plena sintonia com uma determinada forma de governamentalidade. Assim, ao pensar na articulação entre governamentalidade e práxis educacional hoje, percebo que esta última se coloca dentro de uma ordem discursiva que dá sustentação à governamentalidade da sociedade de controle, assim como é por ela sustentada.

The study has the qualitative bibliographical character with the focus on the theoretical production of Paulo Freire and in the autobiographical perspective of the research. The central theory is that Freire s thought of the construction of the historical subject in its aesthetic dimension, contributes to the re-signification of the pedagogical possibilities in the theatrical praxis on the process of constitution of this subject. In the attempt of establishing a dialogue between Freire s thought and scholars in the fields of philosophy, education and drama, I searched in Marx, Adorno, Fiori, Boron, Boal, Brecht, Duarte Jr, Gadotti, Nóvoa, Passeggi, Josso, Casali, among others, the basis to develop my theory. In this work, it was possible to verify that the theatrical pedagogical-praxis with the focus in the view of the world by the subjects involved can be an open space for the construction of historical subjects, that is, committed with the reflections concerning the relations between people and their humanization processes aiming social transformation / Esta pesquisa visa a compreender o meu processo de construção como atrizmulher-professora, tendo como base o pensamento de Paulo Freire, com o objetivo de elaborar reflexões sobre a constituição do sujeito histórico em sua dimensão estética e da práxis teatral como uma possibilidade pedagógica de construção desse sujeito. O estudo tem o caráter bibliográfico qualitativo com enfoque na produção teórica de Paulo Freire e na perspectiva autobiográfica de pesquisa. A tese central é que o pensamento de Freire sobre a constituição do sujeito histórico, em sua dimensão estética, contribui para a compreensão das possibilidades pedagógicas da práxis teatral no processo de constituição desse sujeito. Na tentativa de fazer dialogar o pensamento freiriano com teóricos do campo da filosofia, educação e do teatro, busquei em Marx, Adorno, Fiori, Boron, Boal, Brecht, Duarte Jr, Gadotti, Nóvoa, Passeggi, Josso, Casali, entre outros, subsídios para desenvolver minha tese. No trabalho, foi possível constatar que a práxis-pedagógica teatral, com o foco na leitura de mundo pelos sujeitos nela envolvidos, pode ser um espaço aberto para a construção de sujeitos históricos, ou seja, comprometidos com a reflexão sobre as relações entre as pessoas e seus processos de humanização, tendo em vista a transformação social

Local Food Systems (LFS) is a relatively new concept in geographical and planning research. Academic, professional, and public interest in LFS is in part a reaction against the social, environmental, and economic effects of a dominant Production Agriculture paradigm (Lyson, 2004), and growing concern with the potential impacts of climate change on the food supply (Ostry, Miewald, and Beveridge, 2011). While there is a growing public and policy interest in making transformative change in LFS, there is a lack of theoretical work that addresses how change processes in food systems occur. In this study, a classic Glaserian grounded theory research project investigated the subject area of local food system planning. The primary research goal was the development of a theory grounded in the experience of practitioners, elected officials, and members of the public. The emergent theory, called Transformative Incrementalism (TI) describes the social process underlying planning initiatives focused on achieving significant (transformative) change in local food systems. The data for this research project are drawn from interviews with 29 elected officials, public stakeholders, and planning staff in five communities with local food system initiatives. In addition, 10 member checking interviews were also conducted. The core category identified in the emergent TI theory was Power, with Values, Praxis, and Outcomes being other main themes. From this research, Power could be defined as the ability, through authoritative and non-authoritative influence, to have an effect on a person, process, action, or outcome. Values act as sources of power to the extent that they motivate and drive the actions of individuals and groups. Praxis includes activities designed to create, use, and maintain power, such as building relationships with other people that will give ongoing support for food planning initiatives. Outcomes include broader system and social changes resulting from local food system planning processes and activities. The main findings from this dissertation underscore the fact that the role of power has been largely ignored in the planning literature (Friedman, 2011; Flyvbjerg, 2012; Assche, Duineveld, and Buenen, 2014). Power is the main driver of change; therefore, a lack of understanding about what power is and how it operates would seem to compromise the ability of planning efforts to be effective. This research identifies and illustrates the interrelationship between the political, public, and bureaucratic spheres of actors, and examines how values, praxis, and outcomes are pivotal to transformative change in food planning initiatives. Transformative change is achieved through a long process of incremental efforts (programs, policies, and actions) by actors within the public, political, and bureaucratic groups whose values and beliefs converge and align over time. The incremental efforts are intended to support a transformative change goal. / Graduate

While research has identified the practices that successful school leaders use, the effectiveness of those practices rests on leaders enacting them with great contextual sensitivity. Research literature suggests that leaders should be thoughtful, discerning, careful and dexterous with regard to how they lead. This thesis presents a qualitative, multi-case study of how five elementary school principals lead the improvement of mathematics achievement in their schools. Taking the perspective that leadership is a sensemaking praxis, principals’ perceptions and interpretations of their contexts were explored with the goal of better understanding why they lead the way they do. The evidence revealed that the actions of the principals in this study were the product of their contextually-influenced, idiosyncratic sensemaking. This study demonstrates the value of using the sensemaking praxis perspective as a lens for understanding the enactment of educational leadership. Further, this study has practical implications for principal training, policy implementation, and school improvement.

Many children, to the 4 or 5 years of age, already present acquired the contrasts of adult phonemic system. However, this process nor always occurs in accordance with the waited one, verifying alterations and shunting lines in speak of children. This study aimed to compare the orofacial praxis abilities in children with Tipical Phonological Development of Speech (TPDS) and with Phonological Disorder (PD). The research was composed for 50 children, who were divided in 30 with TPDS and 20 with PD, and ages between 4 and 8 years-old. The diagnosis of phonological disorder was determined by speech-language evaluations and complementary exams. The children were submit to the Test of Orofacial Praxis (BEARZOTTI et al., 2007), the Test of Articulatory and Bucofacial Praxis (HAGE, 2000) and the evaluation of Stomatognathic System (SS). The obtained results, in general, showed that the children with TPDS had present better performance than the Sequence Moviments carried through after verbal request and for the task of Verbal Praxis after imitation. Still, with the age increase, it had an improvement in the averages of the tests and when the tasks of praxis were carried through after verbal request, they were better than for imitation. Statistically significant results could be observed in relation to the age, for the Verbal Praxis, Orofacial Praxis and Sequence Movements after verbal request for the children between 6:0 and 8:01 years, and for Orofacial Praxis after verbal request for the aged 4:0 to 5:11 years. Thus, it s possible to conclude that the children with PD present more SS, Orofacial Praxis and Articulatory and Bucofacial alterations. Still, averages of rightness improve as age advance, and the children present more facility to realize the tasks after imitation than after verbal request, only. On this form, further studies can help develop this area still poorly developed. / A maior parte das crianças, aos 4 ou 5 anos de idade, já apresenta adquiridos os contrastes do sistema fonêmico adulto. No entanto, este processo nem sempre ocorre de acordo com o esperado, verificando-se alterações e desvios na fala das crianças. Este estudo teve como objetivo comparar as habilidades práxicas orofaciais em crianças com Desenvolvimento Fonológico Típico (DFT) e com Desvio Fonológico Evolutivo (DFE). A pesquisa foi composta por 50 crianças, sendo 30 com DFT e 20 com DFE, e idades entre 4:0 e 8:1 anos. O diagnóstico de desvio fonológico foi determinado pelas avaliações fonoaudiológicas e exames complementares. Aplicaram-se o Teste de Praxias Orofaciais (BEARZOTTI et al., 2007), o Teste de Praxias Articulatórias e Bucofaciais (HAGE, 2000) e a avaliação do Sistema Estomatognático (SE). Os resultados obtidos, de uma forma geral, evidenciaram que as crianças com DFT apresentaram desempenho melhor que as crianças com DFE, em todas as avaliações realizadas. Houve diferença estatisticamente significante para as tarefas de assobiar, vibrar e contrair os lábios na avaliação do SE, para as tarefas de Praxias Orofaciais e Sequência de Movimentos realizadas após solicitação verbal e para a tarefa de Praxias Sonorizadas após imitação. Ainda, com o avanço da idade, houve uma melhora nas médias dos testes e quando as tarefas de praxias eram realizadas após solicitação verbal, eram melhores que por imitação. Houve diferença estatisticamente significante, quanto a faixa etária para as tarefas de Praxias Sonorizadas, Praxias Orofaciais e Sequência de Movimentos por solicitação verbal para as crianças entre 6:0 e 8:1 anos, e para Praxias Orofaciais por solicitação verbal para a faixa etária de 4:0 a 5:11anos. Assim, é possível concluir que as crianças com DFE apresentam mais alterações do SE, das praxias orofaciais, articulatórias e bucofaciais. Ainda, as médias de acertos melhoram com o avanço de idade e as crianças apresentam mais facilidade para realizar as tarefas após imitação que após solicitação verbal, apenas. Dessa forma, novos estudos podem aprofundar mais esta área ainda pouco explorada.

Doctor of Education / Department of Educational Leadership / Kakali Bhattacharya / There is minimal scholarship related to modern Osage perspectives in the field of education. Yet, the pursuit of cultural healing relies on self-representation to move Osages toward a higher degree of self-determination, and calls for voices within the community who share zones of cultural and professional intersectionality. Using Red Pedagogy (Grande, 2008) and traditional Osage ribbon work (Dennison, 2012, 2013) as a framework, this critical Indigenous autoethnographic inquiry works to advance conversations about settler-colonial entanglements in education from the perspective of an Indigenous (Osage)-White educator and educational leadership doctoral student. This inquiry uses writing as both field and method (Richardson & St. Pierre, 2005) to explore Osage perspectives related to topics of Transformational Indigenous Praxis (Pewewardy, 2017), White privilege (McIntosh, 2003) as a pale-skinned American Indian, American Indian mascots (Pewewardy, 2000) from educational leadership perspectives (NPBEA, 2015; Waters & Cameron, 2007), and ecologically informed consciousness (Cajete, 1994).

As a Euro-African I wish to explore the validity of the idea that worldview factors are fundamental in determining the praxis of administration. From observation and experience, problems with the practice of administration appear to be generic, rather than primarily personal. (It was noted, however, that personality and temperament also play a role.) The enquiry focuses on Shona and Ndebele Christians in Zimbabwe. As the field of study is Practical Theology and to give a theological foundation for and, perhaps, at least a partial solution to some of the perceived problems, a nascent theological approach to administration is presented, together with proposed training courses in administration and leadership for Bible colleges. Because the notion of administration is somewhat abstract, a fivefold framework was used comprising Planning, Organising, Leading and Controlling, all performed within Time. Questions on the connections, values, perceptions, expectations and use of these components by Shona and Ndebele Christians were discussed in light of their worldviews. Although the intended research approach was social construction, the need for the framework undercut this approach somewhat. I also came from a moderately soft postfoundationalist viewpoint, using narrative practical theology. Six Christian leaders as co-researchers – three Shona and three Ndebele; three Pentecostal and three non-Pentecostal – shared their multicultural insights through personal anecdotes and narrative interaction. Chapter One, in two parts, begins with a personal anecdote and other illustrations highlighting some of the difficulties experienced with administration and its processes in a multicultural African context. The research question – whether worldview shapes the praxis of administration – together with sub-problems, is then outlined. The second section explains the research methodology. Chapter Two defines worldview and administration from both the natural and Christian perspectives, to clarify their nature and praxis. Some underlying problems are introduced. Chapter Three explores what constitutes administration in Christian ministry. Here, values and tasks are itemised to reveal the actual content of administration (at least from a local church pastor’s perspective) and some assumptions behind it. Chapter Four presents individual conversations with the six co-researchers. These personal responses begin to highlight the connection of worldview to administrative praxis and some initial issues arising there from. Chapter Five reflects group dialogues, which allow for cross-cultural and cross-theological views. Gender is introduced as a woman para-church ministry leader replaces a pastor. This provides further fusion of views. From there, Chapter Six examines the Shona, Ndebele and Christian worldviews in more depth. Two case studies are explored narratively, to identify how worldview factors impact the praxis of administration in specific settings. Chapter Seven discusses the group’s understanding of the Biblical perspective of administration. A tentative theological approach to administration is offered. And lastly, Chapter Eight summarises the findings, identifies the issues and presents some solutions. The focus for the latter is on possible administration courses for Bible colleges. Although not directly social constructionist, the team affirmed this approach. The intention here is to enhance this training and thus improve administration in Christian ministry for the wider benefit of the Church community. / Thesis (PhD (Practical Theology))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Practical Theology / PhD / unrestricted

Bien qu’ils soient généralement opposés sur la question de l’herméneutique et de l’historicisme, Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2002) et Leo Strauss (1899-1973) sont deux des plus grands représentants du retour contemporain à la pensée grecque, et plus particulièrement à Platon. Cette thèse cherche à éclairer le débat entre Gadamer et Strauss en insistant sur cet élément central de leurs philosophies respectives. En dépit de multiples accords interprétatifs sur les Dialogues, nous soutenons qu’un désaccord est également perceptible à même leurs lectures de Platon, à savoir qu’ils ne s’entendent pas sur la relation de la dimension théorétique et la dimension pratique de l’existence humaine dans la philosophie platonicienne. Nous cherchons d’abord à introduire les problématiques platoniciennes en analysant les réceptions gadamérienne et straussienne de l’interprétation d’Aristote proposée par Martin Heidegger dans les années 1920, laquelle influença de manière déterminante leur approche de Platon. Nous comparons ensuite leurs compréhensions de l’articulation entre theôria et praxis dans la philosophie platonicienne à l’égard de trois questions : 1) la signification pratique de la forme dialoguée ou dialogique de la philosophie ; 2) le rapport entre philosophie et poésie ; 3) le rapport entre politique et philosophie, a fortiori la philosophie comme recherche des Idées. En éclairant ainsi des points de convergence et de divergence entre Gadamer et Strauss en amont de la question de l’herméneutique et de l’historicisme, nous proposons un portrait plus complet et nuancé d’un dialogue qu’on tend trop souvent à réduire à une stricte opposition.

O interesse por este tema se deve à riqueza deste projeto de conhecimento crítico, interdisciplinar e conectado à práxis revolucionária. Devemos esclarecer, contudo, que este conceito de crítica possui dois momentos que optamos por caracterizar como materialismo interdisciplinar, de 1930 a 1937, e teoria crítica, de 1937 a 1940. Não podemos nos esquecer de mencionar, além disso, o quanto este modelo é tributário da crítica elaborada por G. Lukács em História e consciência de classe / Abstract: The present work treats precisely the elaboration of the critical theory of society by Max Horkheimer in the 1930's. The interest on this theme is due to the richness presented by this critical project of knowledge, also interdisciplinary and connected to revolutionary praxis. We shall clarify, however, that this concept of critique is constituted by two moments that we have decided to characterize as interdisciplinary materialism, ITom 1930 to 1937, and critical theory, ITom 1937 to 1940. We cannot forget to mention that this model is based on the critique G. Lukács created in his History and class consciousness / Mestrado / Filosofia / Mestre em Filosofia

Sua fonte básica são as publicações daquele período, catalogadas nos Resumos Analíticos em Educação - INEP/REDUC e o referencial de análise utilizado foi a teoria da práxis. A pesquisa demonstrou que, durante o período estudado, vão sendo formuladas e debatidas concepções diversas da relação teoria e prática. Essas concepções evoluíram em íntima articulação com a realidade sócio-política brasileira, partindo de princípios educacionais de formação de professores perfeitamente ajustados com a reprodução das relações sociais hegemônicas existentes, e chegando a outras que postulam o deslocamento dessa hegemonia para os setores e camadas populares. No entanto, o que se observa é que essas concepções que preconizam princípios formativos articulados às transformações sociais não conseguiram formular, até o final do período estudado, propostas pedagógicas concretas, realmente transformadoras das relações teoria e prática, educação e trabalho / Abstract: The object of this dissertation is the study of the teacher' s preparation ITom the first four grades of Elementary School during the decades of 10 and 80, with special attention in the relation of theory and practice. The data were collected in the educational publications ITom the mentioned decade, catalogued in the "Resumos Analíticos em Educação - INEP / REDUC' and the reference used in the analyse was theory and praxis. The research showed that during the studied period, different conceptions were formulated and discussed about the relation of theory and practice. These conceptions were developed in a close relation with the Brazilian social-economic structure and starting from the educational principles of teacher¿s formation perfection adjusted with the reproduction of the existing hegemonic social reIations and arriving to others, that postulate the transference of this hegemony to the popular sectors and levels. Neverthless, what we observe is that these conceptions that extol formative principles Inked to the social transformation were not able to formulate - up to the end of the studied period - concrete pedagogical proposals, which will really transform the theory/practice and education work relations / Mestrado / Psicologia Educacional / Mestre em Educação
