Several studies have shown that many students have misconceptions and everyday concepts about evolution that prevent them from learning the theory of evolution. Previous research has also shown that biology teachers are not always aware of students’ difficulties or design education that challenges students’ conceptual understanding of evolution.  The purpose of this study is to develop knowledge about biology teachers’ evolution teaching, by describing which possible misunderstandings teachers identify that their students have and which teaching methods they use to identify and address these misunderstandings. The study also provides several examples of teaching strategies that could be used as a resource for teachers in their evolution teaching. Eight semi-structured interviews with Swedish biology teachers were conducted, where the majority teach at the upper secondary level.  The result shows that some biology teachers are aware of common misunderstandings in the theory of evolution, while others are not. A common misconception which most of the teachers raise is that their students express that individual organisms can adapt to the environment based on need. Evolutions is thus wrongly regarded as a need-driven process. Most biology teachers in the study do not use comprehensive methods, such as multiple-choice tests or assignments, to map students’ pre-understanding and potential misconceptions about evolution. An important conclusion from this study is that teachers need to design a student-orientated evolution education that takes a starting point from students’ misunderstandings, support students to develop their conceptual understanding and challenges prevailing misconceptions. A second important conclusion is that students together need to have the opportunity to discuss and compare everyday concepts with scientific explanatory models. / Åtskilliga studier har påvisat att flertalet elever har missuppfattningar och vardagsföreställningar inom evolution som motverkar deras inlärning av evolutionsteorin. Tidigare forskning har också kartlagt att biologilärare inte alltid är medvetna om elevers svårigheter eller utformar en evolutionsundervisning som utmanar elevers begreppsförståelse.  Denna studies syfte är utveckla kunskap kring biologilärares evolutionsundervisning, genom att beskriva vilka eventuella missförstånd som lärare urskiljer att deras elever har samt vilka undervisningsmetoder de använder sig av för att identifiera och adressera dessa missförstånd. Studien ger även flera exempel på undervisningsstrategier som skulle kunna utgöra en resurs för lärare i deras evolutionsundervisning. Åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer med biologilärare genomfördes, där majoriteten undervisar på gymnasienivå.   Resultatet visar att en del biologilärare är medvetna om vanligt förekommande missförstånd i evolutionsteorin, medan andra inte är det. En vanlig missuppfattning som flertalet lärare lyfter är att deras elever ger uttryck för att enskilda individer kan anpassa sig till miljön för att det finns ett behov. Evolution betraktas därmed felaktigt som en behovsdriven process. Flertalet biologilärarna i studien använder sig inte heller av omfattande metoder, till exempel flervalstest eller inlämningsuppgifter, för att kartlägga elevers förförståelse och eventuella missuppfattningar inom evolution. En viktig slutsats från studien är att lärare behöver utforma en elevcentrerad evolutionsundervisning som tar sin utgångspunkt i elevers missförstånd, stödjer eleverna att utveckla deras begreppsförståelse samt utmanar rådande missuppfattningar. En andra viktig slutsats är att elever behöver få möjlighet att tillsammans diskutera och jämföra vardagliga med vetenskapliga förklaringsmodeller.

Alternatively, this work intended too to investigate what would be the role of technologies on an eventual pedagogical work of teachers related to Thales´ Theorem. Four teachers of public schools of São Paulo State, Fundamental Level, took part of this investigation. The teachers participated in a workshop related to teaching math subject in focus in this work, and which proposed the development of teaching strategies using the software GeoGebra. In the analysis of the proposed activities for teachers, resorted to the study of seizures proposed by Duval as well as to the work of "pedagogical transposition" proposed by Chevallard. Other elements of this analysis considered the research related to the "computer transposition" of Balacheff and some works about the use of technology in Education in general, and in Mathematics Education in particular: the researches of Kenski, Frota & Borges and Oliveira. From the descriptions of the teachers, different profiles of use of technologies and educational performance, in relation to teaching strategies, were identified, highlighting the connection between the degree of reference mathematical knowledge and the proposed approaches with mediation by computational interface. Moreover, in the context of software use, it was possible to detect connections between the mastery of the topic itself, in a pedagogical and scientific ways, and the use of exposition in classroom, as well as the advance (or not) in the figurative seizure levels of teachers / O objetivo desta pesquisa foi o de verificar quais são as dificuldades e possibilidades de professores de Matemática ao utilizarem o software Geogebra em atividades que envolvem o Teorema de Tales. Subsidiariamente, pretendeuse, também, investigar qual seria o papel das tecnologias no eventual trabalho didático dos professores em relação ao Teorema de Tales. Tomaram parte desta investigação quatro professoras da rede pública do estado de São Paulo, atuantes no Ensino Fundamental, ciclo dois. As professoras participaram de uma oficina didática relacionada ao tema matemático em foco neste trabalho, e que propunha a elaboração de estratégias pedagógicas com o uso do software Geogebra. Na análise das atividades propostas para as docentes, recorreu-se ao estudo das apreensões propostas por Duval, ao trabalho de Chevallard sobre a transposição didática, a pesquisa de Balacheff relacionada à transposição informática e aos trabalhos voltados para o uso de tecnologias na Educação em geral e na Educação Matemática em particular, tendo como base, neste caso, as pesquisas de Kenski, Frota & Borges e Oliveira. A partir das descrições das professoras, distintos perfis de uso das tecnologias e de atuação docente, em relação às estratégias pedagógicas, foram identificados, com destaque para a conexão entre o grau de conhecimento do saber matemático de referência e as abordagens propostas com mediação da interface computacional. Além disso, no contexto de uso do software, foi possível detectar conexões entre o domínio do tema em si, dos pontos de vista didático e científico, e o recurso às práticas expositivas em sala de aula, bem como ao avanço ou não nos níveis de apreensão figural das docentes

An examination of leadership and ethics literature demonstrates that, given the theoretical and practical links between the two subjects, they should also be linked within the context of adult post-secondary education. However, very little documented information exists with regard to the ways in which such integration of subject areas is achieved, and there is scant documentation indicating the kinds of pedagogical approaches that are employed for such a purpose. This study examined how the subject areas of leadership and ethics are conceptualized and integrated within the context of undergraduate credit courses at the University of Saskatchewan. The methods used to collect original data for this study were content analysis and qualitative interviews. The data collected in this study demonstrated that the integration of leadership and ethics subject areas is occurring, both implicitly and explicitly, in a variety of undergraduate courses offered through professional colleges at the University of Saskatchewan. The subjects of leadership and ethics are conceptualized in many different ways by course instructors; however, instructors perceive links between the two subject areas and expect their students to demonstrate an understanding of those links. The findings of this study will serve as a program planning resource for instructors who practice, or who wish to practice, the integration of leadership and ethics subject areas in their post-secondary classroom settings. In addition, the researcher concluded with some broad-based recommendations for further study, and suggestions regarding approaches to integration of leadership and ethics education at the University of Saskatchewan.

Le lycée professionnel accueille des adolescents qui ont rencontré des difficultés au collège et sont en rupture avec le cheminement dit « normal ». Adolescents confrontés, non pas à une, mais à des situations d’échec, ils arrivent souvent dans ces établissements en disant d’eux-mêmes « je suis nul (le), je n’y arriverai jamais ». Se pose donc la question des stratégies pédagogiques à mettre en œuvre pour réengager ces élèves dans un processus de formation. L’hypothèse centrale de cette recherche est que les enseignants de ces établissements scolaires visent, dans leurs pratiques pédagogiques, à restructurer à la fois l’estime de soi et le sentiment d’efficacité personnelle de leurs élèves afin de les remobiliser et de les réengager sur la voie de la réussite scolaire.Une première recherche par entretiens a été menée auprès de vingt neuf professeurs de lycées professionnels. Les pratiques pédagogiques qu’ils déclarent élaborer confirment notre hypothèse.Cette étude est complétée par une enquête par questionnaires réalisée auprès de deux cent soixante cinq élèves de sections d’esthétique, coiffure, maintenance des équipements industriels (MEI) et métiers de la production mécanique informatisée (MPMI), effectuée en octobre 2007 et mai 2008. Les résultats montrent qu’estime de soi et sentiment d’efficacité personnelle sont relativement mobilisés. / French vocational schools provide education to pupils, aged 16 to 19. These pupils met difficulties in their studies and had to face a succession of failures. They have split with the ordinary process of education. They regularly say about themselves « I’m not worth, I’ll never get with it ».The hypothesis of this research was that the teachers who welcome these teenagers have to enhance their self-esteem and self-efficacy in order to make them able to accept new learnings and to feel successfull at school. In a first qualitative study, we asked twenty nine teachers the way they worked with this population of pupils. What they say about the strategies they use confirms our hypothesis.This study was completed by a quantitative enquiry. 265 boys and girls were tested twice, in october 2007 and may 2008 in order to observe the evolution in self-esteem and self-efficacy. The results are not totally convincing, particularly due to the small number of boys of the study, and even if a majority of them improved in self-esteem and self-efficacy.

Dentre estes desafios destacam-se a desumanização da prática, a fragmentação do cuidado médico individual e a desigualdade de acesso a atenção à saúde. Diante deste contexto têm se recomendado inúmeras medidas de mudança da formação médica para superar tais problemas dentre as quais uma maior aproximação desta formação com os sistemas públicos de saúde. A estruturação do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) no Brasil, ainda que tardiamente, vem produzindo uma nova agenda de reorientação da formação profissional a partir de programas, do Ministério da Saúde e da Educação, de incentivo à mudança das graduações das profissões da saúde. A Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu (FMB), com uma longa trajetória de ensino médico na comunidade vem participando dos referidos programas de incentivo à reestruturação do ensino médico. Dentro deste escopo de mudanças foi criado o Programa Interação Universidade-Serviços-Comunidade (IUSC) em 2003. Em seu desenvolvimento estruturou-se como um conjunto de disciplinas dirigidas à graduação em medicina e enfermagem, tendo como cenário de ensino-aprendizagem o território, equipamentos públicos, em especial as unidades básicas de saúde, e instituições comunitárias. As práticas destas disciplinas se desenvolvem orientadas pela metodologia da problematização e pelas concepções da humanização da prática e a integralidade do cuidado. Este estudo tomou como campo a disciplina IUSC III, ministrada aos alunos do 3º ano de graduação médica, que tem como atividade principal a consulta médica supervisionada e orientada pela concepção da “Clínica Ampliada”. Para alcançar seu objetivo de “desenvolver competências e habilidades para a atenção e promoção da saúde da comunidade” a IUSC III tem como estratégias pedagógicas: o vínculo longitudinal, o uso de roteiro de “anamnese ampliada”, discussões de casos com diferentes profissionais dos serviços de saúde e o uso de diário de campo. Esta pesquisa se propõe a reconhecer a prática de professores-tutores e alunos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem da Clínica Ampliada na Atenção Primária à Saúde, mediante estudo etnográfico do cotidiano desta disciplina. O campo desenvolveu-se durante 14 meses por meio de estudo bibliográfico e documental e observação participante com registro em diário de campo dos seguintes momentos: módulo de introdução, atividade de observação e reconhecimento da unidade de saúde pelos alunos, consulta médica supervisionada, reuniões de discussão de casos, supervisão clínica e reuniões da coordenação da disciplina com os professores-tutores. A partir da análise dos diários de campo e do estudo documental e bibliográfico das estratégias pedagógicas da IUSC III elaborou-se uma descrição densa do seu cotidiano, mediante diálogo com o referencial da Clínica Ampliada e estudos do trabalho médico e da Clínica. O estudo mostra a potência das estratégias pedagógicas para o desenvolvimento de um olhar ampliado do aluno sobre as necessidades de saúde dos usuários. Em que pese a significativa receptividade dos alunos a uma disciplina de prática clínica na qual o aluno tem um papel ativo já no terceiro ano, parte deles mostram-se resistentes à produção de narrativas dos encontros clínicos. A experiência da clínica na atenção primária é desafiadora para os alunos, diante de uma demanda que se coloca numa fronteira entre os problemas da vida e o diagnóstico bem definido, a qual se soma a ambiguidade e a incerteza do próprio conhecimento e da prática médica. A análise desta experiência de alunos e professores-tutores com o ensino da Clínica Ampliada na Atenção Primária à Saúde, embora ocupe um pequeno espaço no currículo, mostra-se fértil para a reflexão sobre o ensino médico e possíveis caminhos e estratégias para a mudança da graduação.

Among those challenges, there are some highlights: practice dehumanization, the individual health care fragmentation and the inequality of access to health care. In the light of this context, it has been recommended several measures to change medical training, in order to overcome such problems, among which, a closer approximation of this training with the public health systems. The structuring of the Unified Health System (SUS) in Brazil, although late, has been producing a new reorientation schedule of professional training from programs of Ministry of Health and Education, of incentives to change the graduations of the health professions. The Faculty of Medicine of Botucatu (FMB), with a long history of medical education in the community has been participating of the before mentioned programs of incentive to the restructuring of medical education. Within this scope of changes, the University-Services-Community Interaction Program (IUSC) was created in 2003. In its development, it was structured like a set of disciplines directed to undergraduation in medicine and nursing, having as teachinglearning scenario the territory, public facilities, especially basic health units, and community institutions. The practices of these disciplines are developed guided by the problematization methodology and by the conceptions of the practice humanization and the integrality of care. This study took as a field the discipline IUSC III, given to the students of the 3rd year of medical undergraduation, whose main activity is supervised medical consultation and guided by the design of the "Expanded Clinic". To achieve its goal of "developing skills and abilities to care for and promote community health" IUSC III has as pedagogical strategies: the longitudinal link, the use of the "extended anamnesis" script, case discussions with different health professionals and the use of field diaries. This research proposes to recognize the practice of professors and students in the teaching-learning process of the Expanded Clinic in Primary Health Care, through an ethnographic study of the daily life of this discipline. The field was developed during 14 months by means of bibliographical and documentary study and participant observation with record in field diary of the following moments: introduction module, observation activity and health unit recognition by the students, supervised medical consultation, case discussion meetings, clinical supervision and coordination meetings of the discipline with the professors. From the analysis of the field diaries and the documentary and bibliographic study of IUSC III pedagogical strategies, a dense description of his daily life was elaborated through dialogue with the framework of the Expanded Clinic and studies of the medical and clinical work. The study shows the power of pedagogical strategies for the development of a broader student’s view about the health needs of the users. Besides the significant receptivity of the students to a discipline of clinical practice in which the student has an active role already in the third year, part of them are resistant to the production of narratives from clinical encounters. The clinical experience in primary care is challenging for students, faced with a demand that is placed on a border between the problems of life and the well-defined diagnosis, Abstract which adds to the ambiguity and uncertainty of knowledge itself and medical practice. The analysis of this experience of students and professors with the teaching of the Expanded Clinic in Primary Health Care, although takes just a little space in the curriculum, it is fertile for reflection on medical teaching and possible paths and strategies for graduation change. / CAPES: 024/2010-40

As ações fazem parte do modo como a equipe gestora atua em situações de violência na escola. O estudo da violência requer um entendimento amplo sobre como ocorre para que as ações possam atuar nas causas do problema. Procuramos identificar as variantes que interferem na escola, que são da escola e as que são contra a escola, articulando essas variantes ao processo de transformação da direção em gestão que passaram os dirigentes educacionais. Para identificar o modo como a equipe gestora atua procuramos perceber como alunos, professores e gestores vêem a violência no espaço escolar. Posteriormente, fizemos a relação entre projeto político pedagógico e o regimento interno e as ações gestoras de enfrentamento do problema. Dessa maneira, objetivamos compreender as práticas gestoras de resolução dos conflitos. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma escola da periferia de Salvador com alto índice de violência. Com uma amostra de 103 alunos, 10 professores e 5 membros da equipe diretiva. Para a coleta dos dados foram utilizados o grupo focal, a entrevista semiestruturada, a aplicação de questionário e a observação sistemática. Os resultados indicaram a presença de baixa sociabilidade no ambiente escolar, ausência de um eficaz sistema de regras, a falta de um sentimento de pertença na participação do conselho escolar, a presença da droga e da intimidação como causa para os casos de violência física e psicológica ocorridos durante o desenvolvimento da pesquisa. Concluímos esse trabalho apresentando as estratégias que podem potencializar o papel do gestor escolar em situação de violência. / Salvador

Middle schools in Georgia and all over the United States face unique obstacles for enhancing the academic accomplishment of an increasingly diverse group of learners. Under pressure to implement innovative research-based teaching practices to overcome these challenges, many schools and teachers adopt differentiated instruction (DI), a teaching approach designed to accommodate different learning styles and levels of ability. This study was grounded in Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences and Lev Vygotsky's zone of proximal development (ZPD) theory. The research questions investigated in this study were designed (1) to explore the perceptions of science teachers regarding how they apply DI and (2) what obstacles they encountered in their application of DI methods. The data collected were analyzed using occurring themes through individual interviews, observations, and artifacts from 5 regular education science teachers and 2 special service teachers who implemented DI in their classroom. Findings of the study revealed that the teachers experienced successes and difficulties in implementing DI strategies in science. They addressed these difficulties by changing their lessons to coincide with available materials or resources and applying low-preparation DI strategies to meet the needs of each student. Data from this study informed social change by assisting teachers in providing enhanced instruction which promotes student engagement and academic success through the grades. In turn, empowers students to graduate from high school prepared for advanced learning, which leads to productive careers.

Syftet med denna pilotstudie var att lyfta fram erfarenheter om hur förskollärare hanterar situationer med barn med utmanande beteende i förskolan. Pilotstudien fokuserar på förskollärares erfarenheter av stödåtgärder för att kunna bemöta barn med utmanande beteende samt vikten av kunskaper och möjligheter till vidareutbildning. De frågor som pilotstudien avsåg att besvara var följande: Vilka pedagogiska strategier använder sig förskollärarna av i sitt arbete i förskolan samt finns det möjlighet för förskollärarna att vidareutveckla sina pedagogiska strategier? För att kunna få insikt i problemområdet har vi som utgångspunkt använt oss av ett sociokulturellt perspektiv och genomfört en pilotstudie med enkät som medel för datainsamling. 34 rektorer och totalt 137 förskollärare tillfrågades om de ville medverka i studien. Vårt resultat bygger på svar från sju förskollärare. Samtliga sju förskollärare framhåller att det finns möjligheter till vidareutbildning och att de anser att de får möjlighet att utvidga sina kunskaper via de olika strategier som tillämpas i barngruppen i undervisningen. Sammantaget visar pilotstudien på varierande grundkunskaper utifrån vad förskollärarna fått ta del av under sin utbildning. Men framför allt visar resultaten från pilotstudien att förskollärare faktiskt fått kunskap under sin utbildning i att bemöta barn med utmanande beteende. Samtidigt pekar pilotstudien på vikten av möjligheter till vidareutbildning för att kunna hantera framtida situationer med barn med utmanande beteende. Slutsatsen blir att pilotstudien ger en inblick i ett komplext problemområde där pilotstudien kan ligga till grund fortsatta studier där det kan avsättas mer tid för datainsamling.
