Nesse campo, ela se vincula à linha de pesquisa “Processos Formativos, Infância e Juventude” e ao Grupo de Pesquisa “Formação, Trabalho Pedagógico e Representações Sociais na Educação Infantil”. Descobrir como o Curso de Pedagogia da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Presidente Prudente, auxilia os futuros professores a serem professores de Educação Infantil constituiu a questão problemática transversal que inspirou o estudo. O objetivo geral foi pesquisar a contribuição da formação inicial para o desenvolvimento da profissionalidade docente do professor de Educação Infantil, no Curso de Pedagogia da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Presidente Prudente. Com a finalidade de responder ao problema foram propostos os seguintes objetivos específicos: examinar o Curso de Pedagogia, no período de 2001 a 2007; pesquisar fatores que o condicionam; investigar as experiências formativas, os programas, projetos e parcerias e as estratégias formativas. O objeto de estudo se constituiu na formação inicial do professor, quanto ao processo de desenvolvimento da profissionalidade do professor de Educação Infantil, e os seus participantes foram os alunos do 4º ano do Curso de Pedagogia – Turma 2011-2015. A construção do referencial teórico amparou-se nos aportes teóricos do campo da educação da infância, o qual considera a criança como ser histórico, ativo e portador de direitos, e a formação inicial como um direito do professor de Educação Infantil, bem como nos contributos da abordagem sociológica interacionista das profissões e nos subsídios teóricos para constituição profissional, fundamentada em conhecimentos profissionais e saberes específicos. A realização do estado de conhecimento possibilitou a identificação de contribuições e desafios à formação inicial e à profissionalidade docente. Os dados contidos na pesquisa documental oportunizaram a investigação das intenções prescritas no Curso de Pedagogia. Os dados obtidos nos questionários e nas entrevistas realizadas com alunos concluintes do Curso de Pedagogia foram examinados sob a perspectiva da análise de conteúdo e permitiram a categorização temática. A análise dos dados, com a técnica da triangulação, revelou distribuição irregular e aleatória dos indícios identificados a partir dos indicadores de profissionalidade docente, as especificidades, eixos e características e contribuição incipiente do Curso de Pedagogia para o desenvolvimento da profissionalidade dos professores de Educação Infantil. Os procedimentos metodológicos convergem para a identificação do modelo de formação pautado na racionalidade prática no Curso de Pedagogia e de uma concepção de profissionalidade docente reflexivo-produtivista. A tese mostrou a necessidade de integrar as especificidades, eixos e características da profissionalidade docente dos professores de Educação Infantil no Curso de Pedagogia e que existem perspectivas para o desenvolvimento profissional por meio de projetos de formação e de supervisão apoiados pelas instituições de formação, supervisão de ensino e escola. Tal investigação reclama o atendimento das especificidades e necessidades formativas dos professores de Educação Infantil, exigências educacionais das crianças pequenas e as premências da sociedade. / This research is part of the Graduate Program in Education of the Paulista State University (Unesp), Faculty of Science and Technology, Presidente Prudente. In this field, it is linked to the research line "Childhood and Youth Formative Processes" and to the Research Group "Training, Pedagogical Work and Social Representations in Early Childhood Education". Discovering how the Pedagogy Course of the Faculty of Science and Technology, Presidente Prudente, helps the future teachers to be teachers of Early Childhood Education was the problematic transversal issue that inspired the study. The general objective was to investigate the contribution of the initial training to the development of the teaching profession of the teacher of Early Childhood Education, in the Pedagogy Course of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology, Presidente Prudente. In order to answer the problem, the following specific objectives were proposed: to examine the Pedagogy Course, from 2001 to 2007; research factors that condition it; to investigate the formative experiences, the programs, projects and partnerships and the formative strategies. The object of study was the initial teacher training in the process of developing the professionalism of the teacher of Early Childhood Education, and its participants were the students of the 4th year of the Course of Pedagogy - Group 2011-2015. The construction of the theoretical framework supported the theoretical contributions of the field of childhood education, which considers the child as historical, active and bearer of rights, and initial training as a right of the teacher of Early Childhood Education, as well as in the contributions of the interactionist sociological approach of the professions and in the theoretical subsidies for professional constitution, based on professional knowledge and specific knowledge. The realization of the state of knowledge made it possible to identify contributions and challenges to the initial formation and professionalism of the teacher. The data contained in the documentary research facilitated the investigation of the intentions prescribed in the Pedagogy Course. The data obtained in the questionnaires and the interviews carried out with final students of the Pedagogy Course were examined from the perspective of content analysis and allowed thematic categorization. Data analysis with the triangulation technique revealed an irregular and random distribution of the indicators identified from the indicators of teacher professionalism, the specificities, axes and characteristics and an incipient contribution of the Pedagogy Course to the development of the professionalism of the teachers of Education Child. The methodological procedures converge to identify the training model based on practical rationality in the Pedagogy Course and a conception of reflexive-productivist teacher professionalism. The thesis showed the need to integrate the specificities, axes and characteristics of the teaching profession of the teachers of Early Childhood Education in the Course of Pedagogy and that there are perspectives for professional development through training and supervision projects supported by institutions of training, supervision of teaching and school. Such research demands the attendance of the specificities and formative needs of the teachers of Early Childhood Education, educational requirements of the young children and the needs of society. / SEE/SP: 686/0088/2014

Desta pesquisa participaram 10 docentes recém-ingressos no campo profissional, os quais responderam a um questionário com perguntas relativas à formação inicial e ao ingresso na profissão. A revisão bibliográfica foi de fundamental importância para compreender melhor o tema em questão e também me situar da importância mundial e no impacto da melhoria educacional que se pode alcançar dando maior assistência ao professor que está em início de carreira. Os objetivos desta pesquisa foram de compreender como ocorreu a inserção do professor novato de ciências, com quais dificuldades eles se depararam no exercício da profissão e qual a contribuição teve a formação inicial para preparar esses profissionais a atuar plenamente como docente. A metodologia utilizada foi de caráter qualitativo e investigativo e como instrumento de coleta de dados, foi aplicado um questionário semiestruturado aos professores novatos participantes da pesquisa e após esses dados foram analisados pelo método da “análise de conteúdos” (MORAES,1999), que consiste em categorização, descrição e interpretação das respostas obtidas. Os resultados demonstraram que há lacunas na formação inicial desses novatos no que se refere principalmente a desarticulação entre teoria e prática pedagógica e também evidencia a ausência de ações de inserção por parte das escolas da rede estadual de Pelotas. Ao final, é proposto um curso de formação continuada para professores novatos de ciências como uma possível solução que venha a melhorar a entrada no campo profissional docente e a preencher as lacunas da formação inicial, proporcionando ao novato um crescimento no seu modelo didático pessoal, uma maior autonomia profissional e a contribuir com a fixação na carreira docente. / This study consists of a survey conducted in Pelotas / RS on the inclusion in teaching science teacher regarded rookie. This research participated 10 freshmen teachers in the professional field, which answered a questionnaire with questions relating to the initial training and entry into the profession. The literature review was of fundamental importance to better understand the issue at hand and also my place of global importance and impact of educational improvement can be achieved by giving more assistance to the teacher who is just beginning their careers. The objectives of this study were to understand how was the insertion of the new science teacher, with what difficulties they have encountered in the profession and the contribution had initial training to prepare these professionals to fully act as a teacher. The methodology was qualitative and investigative character and as a data collection instrument was applied a semi structured to novice participants teachers of the research and after these data were analyzed by the method of "content analysis" (MORAES, 1999), which It consists of categorization, description and interpretation of the responses. The results showed that there are gaps in the initial formation of these newcomers as it mainly refers to the disconnection between theory and teaching practice and also highlights the lack of integration of actions by state schools of Pelotas. Finally, a continuing education course is proposed for novice science teachers as a possible solution that will improve the entry into the teaching profession field and fill in the gaps of initial training, providing new growth in your personal educational model, greater professional autonomy and contribute to fixing the teaching profession.

A circulação de saberes entre professores : uma análise a partir do gênero profissional docente /

Giordan, Miriane Zanetti January 2019 (has links)
Orientador: Flávia Medeiros Sarti / Resumo: Esta pesquisa tem como pano de fundo o movimento de profissionalização docente, focalizando aspectos relativos à formação dos professores, mais especificamente o conteúdo das partilhas realizadas entre eles em momentos formativos. O estudo fundamenta-se em conceitos da abordagem ergonômica do trabalho e da clínica da atividade, especialmente no que se refere às noções de atividade, gênero profissional e de estilos profissionais. Como objetivo geral, buscamos identificar elementos do gênero profissional docente que circulam entre professores da educação básica em encontros formativos. A partir do objetivo central, busca-se de modo mais específico: a) caracterizar em que situações ocorre a circulação dos conteúdos do gênero profissional entre os professores em momentos formativos; b) identificar conteúdos que circulam entre os professores em momentos sistematizados de partilha, vividos em espaços formativos; c) identificar elementos do gênero profissional presentes nesses conteúdos em circulação; d) compreender os sentidos que os professores atribuem a esses elementos do gênero profissional docente em circulação entre pares nos espaços formativos. A investigação se desenvolveu sob uma perspectiva qualitativa, elegendo como referencial empírico um programa de extensão universitária voltado para professores da educação básica. Na pesquisa de campo, procedemos em três etapas: Uma incursão no curso de extensão (objetivando conhecer o curso e a dinâmica das atividades); a observação...

The study is based on concepts of the ergonomic approach for work and the activity’s clinic, especially regarding the notions of activity, professional gender and professional styles. The general objective is to identify elements of the professional teaching genre that circulate among basic education teachers in formative meetings, unfold, more specifically, the following objectives: a) characterize in which situations the circulation of professional content among teachers occurs in formative moments; b) identify contents that circulate among teachers in systematized moments of sharing, experienced in formative spaces; c) identify elements of the professional genre present in these contents; d) understand the meanings that teachers attribute to these elements of the professional teaching genre circulating among peers in the training spaces. The research was developed from a qualitative perspective, choosing as an empirical reference an university extension program aimed for teachers of basic education. In the field research, three stages were followed: an incursion into the extension course (aiming to know the course and the dynamics of activities); participant observation, with the use of video recording of the formative meetings; and focus groups and interviews, u...

The Distribution of National Board Certified Teachers in Virginia

Kassner, Laura Danielle 03 May 2012 (has links)
This study provides a descriptive analysis of the distribution of National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) in Virginia, which offers financial compensation to these educators regardless of teaching assignment. Most localities provide additional incentives to recruit and retain NBCTs, again, not targeted or structured in any way. Given the impact of high quality teachers on student learning and the well-documented disparities in access for subsets of the student population, it is important to obtain a baseline measure of NBCT distribution in Virginia upon which leaders might build a plan for reform. Three research questions were addressed: How are NBCTs distributed across Virginia with regards to divisions' ability to pay? In school divisions with a high concentration of NBCTs, what incentive structures do these divisions offer to either support teachers while they apply to NBPTS or to recruit and retain previously successful NBCTs? What are the characteristics of the schools in which NBCTs serve with regards to the race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status of their student populations? The researcher determined NBCTs were distributed unequally across Virginia's divisions and schools based on divisions' ability to pay and student demographics. Formal support structures were found in most high concentration divisions. / Ed. D.

THE NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION PROCESS AS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: PERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROCESS HAD ON PROFESSIONAL GROWTH

Bumgarner, Heather J 01 January 2015 (has links)
Professional development is used by teachers to improve their teaching to enhance student learning, and research indicates that the National Board Certification (NBC) process contains high-quality professional development characteristics. Engagement in the NBC process can lead to professional growth by changing teachers’ knowledge, instructional practices, and students’ learning. This quantitative study investigated the extent to which characteristics of the NBC process influenced National Board Certified Teachers’ (NBCTs) professional growth. Using an online survey, the study collected responses from 119 NBCTs who participated in a specific NBC support program. Key findings included that all 20 high-quality professional development characteristics investigated had a perceived positive influence on professional growth, with some notable differences. The characteristics involving individual analysis of student work and teaching videos along with reflection were perceived to be most important, while those centering on collaboration with other candidates were perceived as less important. Second, characteristics that had the greatest perceived impact were those that focused on changing pedagogy rather than increasing content knowledge. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between the perceived importance of duration in the experience and the length of time the candidate was in the process: NBCTs who achieved in one year, as compared to NBCTs who achieved in two or three years, had statistically significant lower ratings on the influence that the duration had on their professional growth. Additionally, those who engaged in the process for financial reasons, as compared to professional growth, had a lower rating of perceived importance when all characteristics were combined.

Spår av grundtankar i Vygotskijs teori i gymnasieskolan : En studie om hur Vygotskijs socio-kulturella teoribildning återspeglas i gymnasielärares syn på lärande / Tracks of basic thoughts in Vygotsky’s theory in the high school : A study about how Vygotskijs socio-cultural theory of education is reflected in high school teachers’ sight on learning

Andersson, Svetlana, Elmefeldt, Iréne January 2010 (has links)
Syftet med studien var att genom gymnasielärares utsagor söka spår av grundtankar i Vygotskijs teoribildning i deras syn på lärande. Detta för att ta reda på vilka kriterier lärare utgår ifrån när de gör sina didaktiska val i undervisningen och på vilket sätt Vygotskijs grundtankar återspeglas i lärares syn på lärande. Vår studie grundar sig på kvalitativa intervjuer. I undersökningen deltog fyra lärare på två gymnasieskolor. Efter att materialet var transkriberat, gjordes en analys utifrån de fyra aspekterna som kännetecknar ett socio-kulturellt perspektiv enligt Vygotskij: de sociala, de medierande, de situerade och de kreativa med betoning på lärarroll och lärande. Vi använde oss av en hermeneutisk ansats för att analysera resultatet där vi använde relevant forskning för att förstärka vår tolkning av respondenternas utsagor. I studien framkom att lärare gav uttryck för att samspel och dialog är viktiga inslag i undervisningen. Vi har även funnit spår av de medierande aspekterna där lärare som mediator har en aktiv roll, men att de samtidigt förespråkar en traditionell katederundervisning. Vår slutsats är att lärare inte stödjer sig på någon specifik vetenskaplig teori i sin syn på lärande. Vi har emellertid tolkat det som att lärare vid sina didaktiska val i undervisningen väljer att reflektera över hur elever tillägnar sig kunskap framför vad elever ska lära och utveckla. Den syn på lärande som vi kan skönja utifrån lärares utsagor är en blandning av olika teorier som färgats av Vygotskijs teoribildning. / Aim with the study was that through high teachers’ statements apply for tracks of basic thoughts of Vygotsky’s theory education in their sights on learning. This is to ascertain what criteria teachers assume when they do their didactic choices in the education and how Vygotsky’s basic thoughts are reflected in teachers’ sights on learning. Our study bases itself on qualitative interviews where four teachers from two high schools were participated. After the transcription, the analysis was done on the basis of the four aspects that characterize the socio-cultural perspective according to Vygotsky’s theory of education: the social, the mediated, the situated and the creative aspects. We chose to use the hermeneutic method for analyze of our result where we used relevant research in order to strengthen our interpretation of teachers’ statements. In the study the teachers expressed that interaction and dialogue are important elements in the education. We also have found tracks from the mediated aspects there teachers as a mediator has an active role, but that they at the same time recommend a traditional education. Our conclusion is that teachers are not based their learning on some specific scientific theory. We however have interpreted that the teachers when they choose a method, prefer to reflect over how students are getting knowledge instead of what students shall learn and develop. That sight on learning as we possibly can discern on the basis of teachers’ statements is a mixture of different theories that has been influenced by Vygotsky’s theory of education.

Prospective Zimbabwean "A" Level mathematics teachers' knowledge of the concept of a function

Nyikahadzoyi, Maroni Runesu January 2006 (has links)
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / The purpose of the study was to investigate prospective 'A' level mathematics teachers' knowledge of the concept of a function. The study was a case study of six prospective Zimbabwean teachers who were majoring in mathematics with the intention of completing a programme leading to certification as secondary mathematics teachers. At the time of the study the six prospective teachers were in their final year of study. Prospective teachers' knowledge of the concept of a function was assessed through task-based interviews and reflective interviews. These interviews, which were done over a period of three months, were structured to capture the prospective teachers' subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge for teaching the concept of a function. The interviews were also meant to capture the prospective teachers' underlining pedagogical reasons for their choices of the examples, representations and teaching approaches when planning to teach the concept. As part of the study a theoretical framework for understanding prospective teachers' knowledge of the concept of a function was developed. The framework, which was developed, was used as an analytical tool in analyzing prospective teachers knowledge of the concept of a function. The results of the study indicated that the prospective teachers had a process conception of a function although some of them had given a set-theoretic definition of a function in which a function is perceived as a mathematical object. They also confined the notion of a function to sets of real numbers. Functions defined on other mathematical objects (for example, the differential operator and the determinant function) were not considered as functions by five of the six prospective teachers.
