Este trabalho apresenta uma reflexão sobre as relações entre educação e mundo comum no pensamento de Hannah Arendt. A autora concebe o mundo comum como artificialismo humano e palco das aparências, instância que abriga o cabedal de conhecimentos, instituições, significados, virtudes, linguagens, histórias e costumes de uma comunidade. O mundo, na concepção arendtiana, abarca a esfera pública dos negócios humanos, na qual se dão as ações políticas e onde a visibilidade e a presença dos outros constituem o palco em que os homens podem revelar sua singularidade. Nessa concepção, o mundo é tido como o sentido último da formação de jovens e crianças, dado que, de acordo com Arendt, a essência da educação é a natalidade. Assim, partindo da ideia de que o sentido da educação é o nascimento e a chegada de crianças a um mundo humano que transcende nossa existência no tempo e no espaço, tivemos como objetivo pensar sobre as relações entre a formação dos novos e o mundo, bem como refletir sobre a tarefa educativa diante da perda da tradição e da autoridade em nossos tempos. Desse modo, a presente dissertação dispôs-se a analisar a seguinte problemática: diante de um mundo esfacelado e tomado pela esfera social, é possível conceber uma educação que se constitua como um elo de aproximação entre o velho e o novo, os jovens e o mundo? E, ainda, qual é o sentido de inserir os novos em um mundo em ruínas, haja vista que a salvaguarda deste mundo da total destruição é o ineditismo e a renovação que as crianças e os jovens podem oferecer-lhe? Diante desse contexto, discutimos as relações de inserção, conservação e renovação entre a educação e o mundo na tentativa de examinar e debater um possível significado para a ação educativa em face da crise do mundo moderno. Em nossa análise, consideramos que o mundo é, para a educação, o significado fundamental de seus esforços e o legado que uma comunidade concebe como digno de ser deixado como herança para as novas gerações. / The present work puts forward a discussion on the relations between education and the common world in Hannah Arendts thought. The author conceives of the common world as human artificiality and space of appearances, a framework which holds a communitys heritage of knowledge, institutions, meanings, virtues, languages, stories and customs. The Arendtian conception of the world comprehends the public realm of human affairs, where political actions are carried out and where visibility and the presence of others form the stage upon which men can reveal their singularity. Under that conceptualization the world is understood as the ultimate meaning of the formation of children and youth, since, according to Arendt, the essence of education is natality. Thus, departing from the idea that the meaning of education is birth and the arrival of children to a human world which transcends our existence in time and space, our purpose has been to ponder on the relations between the world and the formation of the young, as well as to reflect on the task of education in our days, when tradition and authority have been lost. The present dissertation therefore proposes to analyze the following questionings: before a world shattered and taken by the social sphere, is it possible to conceive of education as a link bringing closer the old and the new, youth and the world? Still, what does it mean to introduce the young into a world in ruins, considering that the safeguard this world has against its utter destruction is the very novelty and renovation children and youth can offer it? Within that context we have discussed the relations of insertion, conservation and renovation between education and the world, as we attempt to examine and debate a possible meaning for educational activity in light of the crisis of the modern world. In our analysis we have considered that, in what regards education, the world is the fundamental meaning of its efforts and the legacy a community considers worthy of being left as a heritage to new generations.

This research investigates the cultural politics of 'borderless' education. In Australia, online internationalised education has recently emerged as a market innovation borne from the intersection of two agendas in the higher education sector: an enthusiasm for technological means of delivery; and the quest for international full-fee paying enrolments. The empirical study analyses how both cultural difference and cultural sameness were produced in a case study of borderless education and were made to matter in both the design and the conduct of online interaction. A core MBA unit offered online by an Australian university was selected for the study because its enrolments included a group enrolled through a partner institution in Malaysia. The study is framed in the broad context of the changing cultural processes of globalisation, and in educational markets where knowledge is business. In this more fluid and complicated cultural landscape, the technologies and social practices supporting online education were understood to offer new cultural resources for identity processes. Pedagogy, rather than providing an inert stage for cultural identities to interact, was understood to play an active role in invoking and legitimating possible orientations for student identities. The framework thus builds on a metaculture, or understandings of culture and cultural identity, more appropriate for the cultural conditions of globalising times. The study was conducted as a virtual ethnography of the case study unit drawing on: the observation and recording of all virtual interaction in the unit's website; interviews and dialogues with the lecturer and designer involved; email interviews with some students; and the collection of course artefacts and related documentation. The methodological arguments and design addressed the complexity of grasping how culture is lived in globalised times, and how it is invoked, performed and marked in virtual interactions. Using layered textual analyses synthesising Bernstein's theory of pedagogic discourse and Systemic Functional Linguistics, a description of the unit drew out contradictory aspects in its macrogenre design. On one hand, the design aimed for cultural saming in terms of delivering undifferentiated curriculum and pedagogy for the diverse cohort of students. On the other hand, it also aimed for cultural differencing in the 'student subsidy'of the curriculum. The analysis showed how cultural difference was thus produced as both a curricular asset, and as a series of pedagogical problems in the case study unit. The 'student subsidy' design involved allocating students to purposefully mixed groups for assessable small group discussions in order to enrich the curricular treatment of cultural diversity as a topic of interest. This design invoked expressions of a range of cultural identities and knowledge claims about cultural differences. These claims were analysed with reference to how they were legitimated, and who invoked what culture on behalf of which groups. Despite the design of an undifferentiated process, the conduct of the unit displayed a number of pedagogical problems or 'regulative flares' in which groups of students complained about being overly or insufficiently differentiated. The analysis focused on three such flares: troubles with naming protocols; troubles around genre expectations for assessment tasks; and trouble over 'local' markers for the Malaysia students. These were summarised as trouble with the unit's 'default settings' and presumptuous assumptions about whose cultural terms applied in this educational setting. The study makes a contribution to the sociology of education, in particular with regard to internationalisation and online modes of delivery. The empirical study also contributes to the sociology of the cultural processes of globalisation. More practically, it is suggested that such programs could profitably embrace a version of culture more in line with the entangled routes and global flows that have brought the students and provider together, one that can accommodate and celebrate glocalised identities.

With the increasing development of relations of consumption between discipline knowledge and students, educators face many pressures. One of these pressures is the emotional response of students to their learning experiences and the weight given to their evaluation of teaching by universities. This study emerged from the polarised nature of student responses to one particular area of study in landscape architecture, the integrative discourse of Landscape Planning. While some students found this subject highly rewarding, others found it highly confronting. Thus the main aims of this study are to describe how the students, teacher and institution construct this discourse and to propose a way to rethink these differences in student responses from a teacher's perspective. Firstly, the context of the study is outlined. The changing nature of higher education in Australian society frames the research problem of student-teacher struggles in Landscape Planning, a domain of knowledge in landscape architecture that is situated in a an enterprise university in Queensland. It describes some of the educational issues associated with Boyer's scholarship of integration, contemporary trans-disciplinary workplaces and legitimate knowledge chosen by the institution [Design], discipline [Landscape Architecture], teacher [Landscape Planning] and students [useful and relevant knowledge] as appropriate in a fourth year classroom setting. Secondly, the conceptual framework is described to establish the point of departure for the study. This study uses the work of Basil Bernstein, Harvey Sacks and Kenneth Burke to explore the changing nature of knowledge relations in Landscape Planning. Unconventionally perhaps, it begins by proposing a new concept called the 'decision space' formed from the conceptual spaces of multiple participants in an activity and developed from notions of creativity, conceptual boundaries and knowledge translation. It argues that it is in the 'decision space' that this inquiry is most likely to discover new knowledge about student-teacher struggles in Landscape Planning. It outlines an educational sociological view of the 'decision space' using Bernstein's concepts of the underlying pedagogic device, pedagogic discourse, pedagogic context, recontextualising field and most importantly the pedagogic code comprising two relative scales of classification and framing. It introduces an ethnomethodological view of knowledge boundaries that construct the 'decision space' using Sacks' concepts of context-boundedness and indexicality in people's talk. It also makes a link to a rhetorical view of knowledge choices in the 'decision space' using Burke's concepts of symbolic human action, motive and persuasion in people's speeches, art and texts. Thirdly, the study is divided methodologically into three parts: knowledge relations in official and curriculum texts, knowledge choices in student drawings and knowledge troubles in student talk. Knowledge relations in official texts are investigated using two relative scales of classification and framing for Landscape Planning and its adjacent pedagogic contexts including Advanced Construction and Practice 1 and 2 and Advanced Landscape Design 1 and 2. The official texts that described unit objectives and content in each context reveal that Landscape Planning is positioned in the landscape architecture course in Queensland as an intermediary discourse between the strongly classified and strongly framed discourse of Advanced Construction and Practice and the weakly classified and weakly framed discourse of Advanced Landscape Design. This seems to intensify the need for students in their professional year to access and adapt to new pedagogic rules, apparently not experienced previously. A further subjective reflection of my own week 1 unit information as curriculum text using classification and framing relations is included to explain what characterised the rationale, aim, objectives, teaching programme, assessment practice and assessment criteria in Landscape Planning. It suggests that the knowledge relations in my teaching practice mirror the weakly classified and strongly framed discourse of the official text for this unit, that is that students were expected to transcend knowledge boundaries but also be able to produce specific forms of communication in the unit. Knowledge choices in student drawings in Landscape Planning are described using a new sociological method of visual interpretation. It is comprised of four steps: (a) setting up a framing scale using the social semiotic approach of Kress and van Leeuwen (2005) (contact gaze, social distance, angle of viewpoint, modality, analytical structure and symbolic processes) combined with the pentadic approach of Burke (1969) (act, scene, agency, purpose); (b) setting up a classification scale using the concept of agent from the pentad of Burke (1969) combined with how the relationship between 'I' the producer and 'you' the viewer is constructed in each drawing, like a sequence in a conversation according to Sacks (1992a); (c) coding student drawings according to these two relative scales and (d) assessing any shifts along the scales from the start to the end of the semester. This approach shows that there is some potential in assessing student drawings as rhetorical 'texts' and identifying a range of student orientations to knowledge. The drawings are initially spread across the four philosophical orientations when students begin Landscape Planning and while some shift, others do not shift their orientation during the semester. By the end of the semester in 2003, eight out of ten student drawings were characterised by weak classification of knowledge boundaries and weak framing of the space for knowledge choices. In 2004, nine out of twenty-one drawings exhibited the same orientation by the end of the semester. Thus there is a changing pattern, complex though it may be, of student orientations to knowledge acquired through studying Landscape Planning prior to graduating as landscape architects. Knowledge troubles in student talk are identified using conversation markers in student utterances such as 'I don't know', 'I think', 'before' and 'now' and the categorisation of sequences of talk according to what is knowable and who knows about Landscape Planning. Student talk suggests that students have a diverse set of affective responses to Landscape Planning, with some students able to recognise the new rules of the pedagogic code but not able to produce appropriate texts as learning outcomes. This suggests a sense of discontinuity where students dispute what is expected of them in terms of transcending knowledge boundaries and what is to be produced in terms of specific forms of communication. The study went further to describe a language of legitimation of knowledge in Landscape Planning based on how students viewed its scope, scale, new concepts and other related contexts and who students viewed as influential in their selection of legitimate knowledge in Landscape Planning. It is the language of legitimation that constructs the 'decision space'. Thus in relation to the main aims of the study, I now know from unit texts that the knowledge relations in my curriculum design align closely with those of the official objectives and required content for Landscape Planning. I can see that this unit is uniquely positioned in terms of its hidden rules between landscape construction and landscape design. From student drawings, I acknowledge that students make a range of knowledge choices based on different philosophical orientations from a pragmatic to a mystical view of reality and that my curriculum design allows space for student choice and a shift in student orientations to knowledge. From student talk, I understand what students believe to be the points of contention in what to learn and who to learn from in Landscape Planning. These findings have led me to construct a new set of pedagogic code modalities to balance the diverse expectations of students and the contemporary requirements of institutions, disciplines and professions in the changing context of higher education. Further work is needed to test these ideas with other teachers as researchers in other pedagogic contexts.

[pt] O presente trabalho busca investigar o papel do humor conversacional nas interações em uma sala de aula de língua inglesa, na qual a pesquisadora exerceu o papel de professora. A orientação da pesquisa é qualitativa e interpretativa, com o suporte teórico da Sociolingüística Interacional, da Análise da Conversa e de Teorias sobre o Humor, buscando analisar dados compostos por gravações de aulas em fitas de áudio e notas de campo. Foi realizada uma análise sociointeracional do discurso, baseada na noção de enquadres de brincadeira conversacional, visando perceber como estes são estabelecidos e finalizados, de que forma eles influenciam na socioconstrução de conhecimento e nas relações estabelecidas entre os participantes do contexto pesquisado. Os enquadres de brincadeira conversacional podem ser iniciados e finalizados tanto pela professora quanto pelos alunos, demonstrando a influência do estilo flexível da professora na utilização do humor em sala de aula. Os resultados apontam que o humor conversacional exerce papel fundamental para o envolvimento e a diminuição da assimetria entre os participantes, podendo atuar auxiliando na construção de conhecimento na língua alvo. A principal contribuição do trabalho é um maior entendimento do papel do humor nas interações em sala de aula, trazendo uma maior compreensão das interações no contexto educacional. / [en] This study investigates the role conversational humor plays in na English language classroom, in which the researcher was also the teacher. The research orientation is qualitative and interpretative, and the theoretical basis lies on Interactional Sociolinguistics, Conversation Analysis and theories of humor, in order to analyze data constituted by audio-taped classes and field notes. A sociointeractional discourse analysis was done, based on the construct of conversational play frame and intends to notice how these frames are initiated and ended and how they influence social construction of knowledge and the relation established between the participants of the investigated context. The conversational play frames may be initiated and ended not only by the teacher, but also by the students, which demonstrates the influence of the flexible style of the teacher in the humor use in the classroom. The results show that conversational humor is essential to promote involvement and to reduce asymmetry between the participants, and is also an auxiliary in the social construction of knowledge in the target language. The main contribution of this study is the understanding of the role conversational humor plays in classroom interactions, resulting in a better comprehension of the interactions that occur in the educational context.

In this process, we employed Michel Foucault s Archeological Analysis of Discourse as the analysis tool. The research corpus is constituted of writings from the referred scholars, which are seen as primary documentary sources. The excavations, carried out in the discursive order about the meaningful learning, made it possible to verify a strong presence of a series of enunciations as its constitutive elements, for example, enunciations about the prior knowledge, mechanical or memoristic learning, learner s passiveness, world view and disposition to learn. Looking into the outcomes from the enunciative series and enunciations analysis, it was possible to observe that such authors defend the importance of prior knowledge as a starting point in the educational process. At the very end, we identified and described the possible contributions that David Ausubel and Paulo Freire have left to every educational context, including the popular education. / Este trabalho objetiva investigar as dispersões e regularidades do enunciado da aprendizagem significativa presente nos escritos de David Ausubel e Paulo Freire. Nesse processo, empregamos a ferramenta da Análise Arqueológica do Discurso (AAD) de Michael Foucault, como instrumento de análise. O corpus da pesquisa será constituído pelos escritos dos referidos estudiosos, vistos como fontes documentais primárias. As escavações, empreendidas na ordem discursiva sobre a aprendizagem significativa, possibilitou verificar uma forte presença de uma série de enunciados como seus elementos constitutivos, a exemplo, enunciados sobre os conhecimentos prévios, a aprendizagem mecânica ou memorística, disposição do educando em aprender, leitura do mundo e passividade do educando. Diante dos achados da série enunciativa e das análises dos enunciados, foi possível observar que os respectivos autores defendem a importância do conhecimento prévio como ponto de partida no processo educativo. Ao fim e ao cabo, identificamos e descrevemos as possíveis contribuições que David Ausubel e Paulo Freire deixaram a todo e qualquer contexto educativo, inclusive a educação popular.

[pt] Este estudo visa contribuir para as reflexões sobre a constituição do conhecimento escolar, com base em uma pesquisa bibliográfica que buscou identificar e discutir a aplicação dos conceitos de transposição didática, de Yves Chevallard, e de recontextualização discursiva, de Basil Bernstein. Pretendeu proporcionar, desta forma, uma visão geral das diversas leituras possíveis das proposições desses autores, no recorte acima definido. Para tanto, foram analisadas as publicações de Bernstein e Chevallard que se relacionam mais diretamente com a temática em discussão nesta pesquisa, teses brasileiras recentes que operaram com esses conceitos, além dos trabalhos apresentados a partir de 1998 nas reuniões anuais da Associação Nacional de Pós- Graduação e Pesquisa em Educação (Anped), nos Encontros Nacionais de Didática e Prática de Ensino (Endipe), e nas três revistas categorizadas pelo sistema Qualis como de nível internacional A - Cadernos de Pesquisa, Educação e Sociedade e Revista Brasileira de Educação. No decorrer deste processo de pesquisa e reflexão, colocaram-se ainda, como questões paralelas, a discussão das fronteiras dos campos disciplinares do Currículo e da Didática, e a problemática da interpretação de textos teóricos. Conclui-se o estudo, apontando potencialidades e especificidades dos conceitos de transposição didática e de recontextualização discursiva, bem como a importância da incorporação da discussão de tais conceitos na formação de professores. / [en] The objective of this study is to contribute towards reflections regarding school knowledge constitution based upon bibliographical research, aimed at the identification and application of the following concepts: instructional transposition developed by Yves Chevallard and discourse recontextualization by Basil Bernstein. With the intent to provide an overview of several possible interpretations of these authors theoretical proposals within the above-mentioned approach, an analysis was conducted of the following: publications by Bernstein and Chevallard directly related to the subject discussed in this research, recent Brazilian thesis that applied these concepts and, starting in 1998, articles presented during annual meetings of the Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Educação (Anped), and during the Encontros Nacionais de Didática e Prática de Ensino (Endipe), as well as published in the three magazines categorized by the Qualis system as international A level (Cadernos de Pesquisa, Educação e Sociedade and Revista Brasileira de Educação). In the course of this reflection and research process, parallel issues were raised, such as the Curriculum and Instruction disciplinary fields boundaries and the interpretation of theoretical writings. In the conclusion of this dissertation, potentialities and specific features of instructional transposition and discourse recontextualization were underscored, as well as the importance of incorporating the discussion of these concepts to the teachers education curriculum.

This thesis presents a study of the production of literacy practices in Year 10 English lessons in a culturally diverse secondary school in a low socio-economic area. The study explored the everyday interactional work of the teacher and students in accomplishing the literacy knowledge and practices that count for subject English. This study provides knowledge about the learning opportunities and literacy knowledge made available through the interactional work in English lessons. An understanding of the dynamics of the interactional work and what that produces opens up teaching practice to change and potentially to improve student learning outcomes. This study drew on audio-recorded data of classroom interactions between the teacher and students in four mainstream Year 10 English lessons with a culturally diverse class in a disadvantaged school, and three audio-recorded interviews with the teacher. This study employed two perspectives: ethnomethodological resources and Bernsteinian theory. The analyses of the interactional work using both perspectives showed how students might be positioned to access the literacy learning on offer. In addition, using both perspectives provided a way to associate the literacy knowledge and practices produced at the classroom level to the knowledge that counted for subject English. The analyses of the lesson data revealed the institutional and moral work necessary for the assembly of knowledge about literacy practices and for constructing student-teacher relations and identities. Documenting the ongoing interactional work of teacher and students showed what was accomplished through the talk-in-interaction and how the literacy knowledge and practices were constructed and constituted. The detailed descriptions of the ongoing interactional work showed how the literacy knowledge was modified appropriate for student learning needs, advantageously positioning the students for potential acquisition. The study produced three major findings. First, the literacy practices and knowledge produced in the classroom lessons were derived from the social and functional view of language and text in the English syllabus in use at that time. Students were not given the opportunity to use their learning beyond what was required for the forthcoming assessment task. The focus seemed to be on access to school literacies, providing students with opportunities to learn the literacy practices necessary for assessment or future schooling. Second, the teacher’s version of literacy knowledge was dominant. The teacher’s monologues and elaborations produced the literacy knowledge and practices that counted and the teacher monitored what counted as relevant knowledge and resources for the lessons. The teacher determined which texts were critiqued, thus taking a critical perspective could be seen as a topic rather than an everyday practice. Third, the teacher’s pedagogical competence was displayed through her knowledge about English, her responsibility and her inclusive teaching practice. The teacher’s interactional work encouraged positive student-teacher relations. The teacher spoke about students positively and constructed them as capable. Rather than marking student ethnic or cultural background, the teacher responded to students’ learning needs in an ongoing way, making the learning explicit and providing access to school literacies. This study’s significance lies in its detailed descriptions of teacher and student work in lessons and what that work produced. It documented which resources were considered relevant to produce literacy knowledge. Further, this study showed how two theoretical approaches can be used to provide richer descriptions of the teacher and student work, and literacy knowledge and practices that counted in English lessons and for subject English.
