Orientador: Tania Moron Saes Braga / Resumo: Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar a presença de ações educativas voltadas à sexualidade em uma escola pública de uma pequena cidade do interior paulista e as sugestões apontadas pelos professores e alunos para a viabilização de ações voltadas à realidade escolar. Foram utilizados questionários e registros de ocorrências para a coleta de dados junto a professores e alunos. Os resultados indicaram que a abordagem dos assuntos relativos à educação sexual está condicionada ao currículo de matérias específicas e vinculada à figura do professor, sendo realizada de maneira assistemática e descontínua, distante das proposições dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais. Utilizando-se o referencial da psicologia da saúde e os princípios da análise do comportamento, identificou-se a necessidade de programas de intervenção dirigidos primeiramente à capacitação de professores e, em seguida, à promoção da saúde de alunos, focando-se conteúdos e habilidades envolvidos no comportamento sexual saudável. / Abstract: The objective of this study is to identify the presence of educative actions directed to sexuality in a public school of a small town of the Paulista country and the sugestions showed by teachers and pupils to make possible the actions concerning the educational reality. Questionnaires and registrations of occurrences have been used to the data collection related to teachers and pupils. The results showed that the approach of the subjects relating to sexual education is conditioned to the curriculum of specific disciplines and linked to the teacher's figure, being performed in an asystematic and discontinuous way, remote from the propositions of the National Curricular Parameters. By using the reference of health psychology and the principles of behaviour analysis, it has been identified the necessity of intervention programs directed firstly to capacitate teachers and then to promote the pupils health, emphasizing contents and abilities involved in healthy sexual behaviour. / Mestre

The researcher/writer of this treatise has used qualitatively based data to develop a better understanding of the perceptions of college readiness initiatives in three public school districts in the service area of a community college in South Texas. The researcher has also used these methods to understand the perceptions of participants in a community based parental outreach program about the subject of college readiness. More specifically, through the use interviews with public school district superintendents, focus groups with educational professionals in the corresponding school districts, and similar focus group interviews with the parent/facilitators in the outreach group; critical issues, incidents, and events have been identified to improve and better inform the processes of college readiness initiatives for the college. The end product of this treatise will help both the researcher/practitioner and the leadership of the college improve their educational service to the community, and add new voices to the character of this service. The researcher as an outsider to the language and culture of the region, has also reflected on his positionality and professional growth within this community through these processes. / text

The history of the Waxahachie public schools from 1884 to 1970 reveals not only the development of the school system itself, and the local, regional, and national trends which influenced public education, but also serves as a case study of what David Tyack and Larry Cuban describe as the grammar of schooling, the inherent and implicit rules for bringing about a “real school” as perceived by its stakeholders. The study provides insights into the effects of local concerns vis a vis the larger movements and events in American history upon the development of this particular local school system. The origins and the subsequent development of the public school system in Waxahachie, a small north-central Texas community located approximately thirty miles south of the Dallas, Texas, is the focus of this dissertation. The chronological history of the Waxahachie public school system, as an early independent school system is examined from its preceding influences, through its tumultuous inception, to its consequent periods of stability, professionalization, and growth. The study encompasses three major superintendencies, equating them to regimes by virtue of their length of tenure, and as a touchstone for depicting the societal trends with which they contended or reflected. Influences of race and religion are examined as primary and secondary animating themes. The manner in which educational philosophies as described by Watras, including Scholar Academic, Social Efficiency, and Learner-Centered, are examined in relation to the historical periods during which each superintendent held office. A detailed history is presented about each superintendent’s term of office, exploring such topics as meeting the needs of a growing school district, accounting for curricular trends and forces at the local, regional, and national level, and navigating the societal terrain in the establishment and maintenance of a “real” school. / text

This study is directed to the establishment of some principles to serve as guides for public school administrators and college authorities in conducting off-campus student-teaching programs.

The problem of this study was to develop an instrument which would reveal whether certain fundamental philosophical and educational beliefs are held by public school teachers in the areas of elementary education, secondary education, and guidance.

This study was conducted to gauge the perceptions of various groups regarding the elementary principal1s role in the public schools. The hypotheses for the study were the following. 1. There will be no significant difference between the role perception ratings given by the elementary school principal and the business representative regarding their perception of the role of the elementary principal. 2. There will be no significant difference between the role perception ratings given by elementary principals and public school board members regarding their perception of the role of the elementary principal. 3. There will be no significant difference between the role perception ratings given by business representatives and public school board members regarding their perception of the role of the elementary principal. 4. There will be no significant difference between the role perception ratings of elementary principals, business representatives, and public school board members regarding their perception of the role of the elementary principal relative to the age of the respondent, the sex of the respondent, number of years in present position, number of years residing in district, and educational level of the respondent. 5. There will be no significant difference among the role perception ratings of elementary principals regarding their perception of their role relative to sex of the respondent, number of years in the present school district, and number of years as an elementary principal.

The purpose of this study represents an illustration of the techniques of public relations in music education as well as the urgent necessity for their development. Especially during; this era, American public schools are faced with the problem of providing a balanced curriculum whose chief interests lie in subjects of a scientific nature. Educators feel that this type of training is not only necessary to keep the nation ahead or equated with others scientifically, but that it is inevitably the best in preparing the student for adulthood. Public school music, in many instances, has not lived up to its responsibilities in providing the kinds of music and the type of community service it should render. Consequently, many educators feel justified in either reducing or eliminating fine arts programs in their schools. It is necessary, therefore, that the music educator study measures of encouraging musical growth in his environment, and this growth can be assured through a study of the techniques and tools of public relations.
