[pt] Partindo da hipótese teórica de que a construção de identidades docentes se dá essencialmente na mediação das dimensões que cercam os saberes e o fazer docente, e no intuito de compreender melhor algumas das miudezas do processo de formação de professores, a pesquisa de doutoramento, que resulta no presente texto, teve como objetivo investigar como são interiorizados os significados e os sentidos que constituem a produção de identidades docentes na particularidade do curso de Geografia da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, campus Maracanã. Nos cotidianos de formação de professores, tem-se a faceta criativa de identidades docentes diversas, que envolvem a apreensão de valores, significados e visões de mundo. Para melhor compreender essas particularidades, realizou-se um resgate de dois conceitos que serviram de base para a pesquisa: paisagens de licenciatura e epistemologia da prática profissional dos professores. Em aproximação com o método cotidianista, a pesquisa possibilitou experimentar o ambiente de formação de professores também como um laboratório de pesquisa e, a partir de conversas informais e entrevistas semiestruturadas com parte do corpo discente, conclui-se que, ao longo da formação para o magistério, os sentidos e significados da docência são desenvolvidos na construção do habitus, da práxis e do ethos docente em espaçostempos onde são negociadas dimensões que cercam a produção de identidades docentes. Esses espaçostempos são entendidos como paisagens de licenciatura, uma vez que mediam sentidos da cultura e da identidade docente durante a graduação em Geografia, momento de produção e absorção dos saberes e do fazer docente, na perspectiva da epistemologia da prática profissional dos professores. A cultura docente é composta por valores e crenças compartilhadas, mas que são assimiladas individualmente, e desempenham um papel fundamental na maneira como os professores se percebem. Como foi verificado na investigação com alguns discentes, é uma dimensão da profissionalidade docente fundamentalmente produzida na formação inicial. Os currículos das modalidades Licenciatura e Bacharelado, o Estágio Supervisionado obrigatório, o Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência e o Programa Residência Pedagógica foram as paisagens de licenciatura investigadas durante a pesquisa e percebidas pelos discentes como espaçostempos de construção de suas identidades. Nesses espaçostempos, a apreensão do habitus docente sugere a assimilação de atitudes e posturas que constituem o fazer docente. A práxis docente é incorporada na tomada de consciência sobre a importância da relação entre teoria e prática, entre os saberes docentes e o fazer docente. Já o ethos docente é desenvolvido na formação inicial, por meio da construção de personalidade comportamental, moral e afetiva. / [en] Starting from the theoretical hypothesis that the construction of teaching identities takes place essentially in the mediation of the dimensions that surround knowledge and teaching practice, and with the aim of better understanding some of the intricacies of the teacher training process, doctoral research, which results In this text, the objective was to investigate the means by which meanings and meanings that constitute the production of teaching identities are internalized in the particularity of the Geography course at the State University of Rio de Janeiro, Maracanã campus. In the daily routine of teacher training there is the creative facet of different teaching identities, which involves the apprehension of values, meanings and worldviews. To better understand this particularity, two concepts were recovered that served as the basis for the research: teaching landscapes and the epistemology of teachers professional practice. In approximation with the everyday method, the research made it possible to experience the teacher training environment also as a research laboratory, and based on informal conversations and semi-structured interviews with part of the student body, it is concluded that, throughout the training for the teaching, the senses and meanings of teaching are developed in the construction of habitus, praxis and teaching ethos in spaces-times where dimensions surrounding the production of teaching identities are negotiated. These spaces-times are understood as undergraduate landscapes, since they mediate meanings of culture and teaching identity during the Geography degree, a moment of production and absorption of knowledge and teaching practice, from the perspective of the epistemology of teachers professional practice. Teaching culture is made up of shared values and beliefs, which are assimilated individually, and play a fundamental role in the way teachers perceive themselves. As verified in the investigation with part of the student body, it is a dimension of teaching professionalism fundamentally produced in initial training. The curricula of the Degree and Bachelor s degrees, the mandatory Supervised Internship, the Institutional Teaching Initiation Scholarship Program and the Pedagogical Residency Program were the degree landscapes investigated during the research and perceived by the students as spaces-time for the construction of teaching identities. In these spaces-times, the apprehension of the teaching habitus suggests the assimilation of attitudes and postures that constitute teaching. Teaching praxis is assimilated in the awareness of the importance of the relationship between theory and practice, between teaching knowledge and teaching practice. The teaching ethos is developed in initial training through the construction of a behavioral, moral and affective personality.

The ongoing debate about the capacity of distance learning (DL) to assist in the development of teaching skills and to improve teaching practice is the focus of many inquiries in the field of teacher education. The practice-based nature of Foundation Phase teaching poses unique challenges for professional development of teachers through DL programmes. In order to address inadequacies identified in the literature and previous research, a practical component was designed and included in the revised version of the Advanced Certificate: Education - Foundation Phase, as part of a bursary project. In 2011 the Northern Cape Department of Education (NCDoE) enrolled 50 practising Foundation Phase teachers for this distance learning programme as the first of three cohorts in the bursary project. A learning portfolio and audio-visual resources, designed according to principles derived from previous research and related literature, formed part of this practical component. The aim was to support teacher applied competence through developing pedagogical content knowledge, self-directedness, and a professional attitude, and through guiding the application of new knowledge and skills in practice. The completed portfolios further served as an instrument for the assessment of teacher performance with regard to applied competence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of the practical component of the revised Foundation Phase ACE programme delivered by the NWU via distance learning with specific focus on the way this component facilitates the development of applied competence and the way the portfolio provides for the assessment of professional classroom competencies of practising Foundation Phase teachers. The study further aimed to put forward a model for the development of applied practice based on the findings of the study. In order to attain the aims of the study, the literature was explored to firstly determine the elements which contribute to applied competence in effective teacher professional development programmes. The literature was further explored to determine what the body of scholarship indicates with respect to programme design features that support applied competence in DL programmes for teacher professional development. An implementation evaluation study was then conducted on the programme by collecting data from 50 Foundation Phase teachers as the first of three cohorts enrolled for the bursary project. Data were primarily collected through multiple qualitative methods including a focus-group interview, individual interviews, written expectations as well as open ended questions of questionnaires. Descriptive data were also collected through semi-structured questionnaires. Qualitative data were analysed through content analysis to determine the theoretical and conceptual implications of the profile and teaching context of the Northern Cape Foundation Phase teacher enrolled for the DL Foundation Phase ACE programme, the expectations of these teachers regarding the way the practical component would support their applied competence in their contexts, and the teachers’ experiences of the way the programme component supported the development of their applied competence. The study further determined the extent to which the learning portfolios interrogate the elements of applied competence. Quantitative data collected through semi-structured questionnaires were statistically analysed and served to support the interpretation of qualitative data. The investigation was approached from a constructivist paradigm; an approach that falls under an interpretivist philosophical orientation. Although quantitative methods were used to gather descriptive statistical data in support of the qualitative data, the study is grounded in qualitative research methodology where the concern is with the formative evaluation of the DL programme component The findings strongly confirm the value of such a practical component as part of a DL programme to support the elements of applied competence. However, the way the programme accommodates teacher profiles and teaching contexts will greatly influence the sustainability of the programme outcomes in practice. The findings further show that the portfolio as instrument for the assessment of applied competence requires careful planning and should provide strong guidance in the reflective process to support sustained outcomes of the programme in practice. A suggested model for a DL programme for the professional development of Foundation Phase teachers is based on the findings of the study. / PhD (Curriculum Development Innovation and Evaluation), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

The current study aimed to explore the indicators for evaluating senior high school English teachers’ professional competence, and at the same time, to provide English teachers access to improve and increase teaching efficiency by showing the rankings of indicators under each sub-criterion investigated from 279 English teachers with 4 social background variants in 22 public senior high schools in New Taipei City. The social background variants included gender, educational backgrounds, school size, and total teaching years. In accordance with literature review and expert validity, 5 criteria, 13 sub-criteria, and 47 indicators were established as evaluating standards. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was employed and the results indicated that: 1. Planning competence: Teaching planning was more important than course planning. Planning appropriate teaching activities and developing teaching procedures were considered to be the most important in the two sub-criteria respectively. 2. Teaching competence: Communicative competence and English language competence were the first two priorities, but presentation of teaching materials the last. Good oral communicative skills and self-expressive ability were labeled as the most essential indicators respectively. 3. Management competence: Classroom management was rather prominent than resources management. Good teacher-student interaction was especially viewed as important in classroom management. 4. Professional development: Grasping opportunities to learn was taken more significant than conducting teaching research and teaching innovation. In grasping opportunities to learn, reflecting on one’s teaching and seeking professional development were seen as more important than others. 5. Teaching ethics: Working attitude was of higher significance than professionalism, especially establishing good working relationship with school staff, students’ parents, and surrounding communities. In conclusion, indicators which were more helpful to teaching were more favored. Despite their different social backgrounds, teachers tended to show similar opinions on the development of their professional competence. According to the results of the study, some suggestions were provided for professional development of English teachers, teacher training, gender differences of English teachers, teaching experiences, and future studies.
