Análise da Matriz de Competência em uma aplicação real : Avaliação da Aprendizagem em Processo de Língua Portuguesa da Secretaria da Educação do Estado de São Paulo /

Prado, Michelle de Souza. January 2016 (has links)
Orientador: Daniela Nogueira de Moraes Garcia / Banca: Rozana Aparecida Lopes Messias / Banca: Lívia Maria Turra Bassetto / Resumo: A proposta deste trabalho é discutir a matriz de competência e habilidades da Avaliação da Aprendizagem em Processo (AAP). Trata-se de um caderno de questões objetivas de Língua Portuguesa aplicado ao ensino fundamental II e médio da Secretaria da Educação do Estado de São Paulo (SEESP) para medir os coeficientes de aprendizado nesta disciplina em cada ano escolar. Analisamos as aplicações semestrais de 2015 num dado oitavo ano da rede pública do interior paulista. O debate focalizou as questões com maior porcentagem de erro, uma vez que é esta a tônica daa AAP: diagnosticar as questões que os alunos apresentaram maior fragilidade para promover ações metodológicas capazes de sanar as lacunas conteudísticas, notadamente, aqueles direcionados para a competência leitora. Realizada desde 2011, a AAP, atualmente, conta com mais de dez edições e passou a fazer parte do calendário oficial do ano letivo das escolas públicas paulistas, devido ao status que alcançou de indicador formal dos avanços das turmas no conteúdo programático de sua série. Este estudo fez seu recorte utilizando como ponto de escolha as vivências da própria mestranda, enquanto docente que acompanhou ao longo do ano a classe de oitavo ano e, portanto, foi a responsável pela aplicação e tabulação destas avaliações. A metodologia apresenta pesquisa qualitativa. / Abstract: This paper aims at discussing the competence and ability matrix of the Learning Evaluation as a Process (LEP). This evaluation is composed by multiple choice questions of Portuguese language and is employed by the São Paulo State Secretary of Education in the public schools of the state. We have analysed the applications conducted in an eighth grade class for six months in a public school in the São Paulo state. The focus of the analysis is the questions with a higher percentage of mistakes. This emphasis occurs because the LEP analyses the indicators in which the students have shown less ability and that indicate the necessity to promote methodological actions in order to fulfill the content needs, especially those focusing on the reading competence. The LEP has been happening since 2011 and, after more than ten applications, it has become part of the official calendar in public schools in the São Paulo state. It has reinforced the formal indicator of advances in the school groups for each grade. This research has had the researcher's experiences as a starting point as she has followed the eighth grade class and was in charge of the application and results of the evaluation process. The methodology presents qualitative research / Mestre

Situational and dispositional indicators of performance: Competing models in education.

Nielsen, Ingrid, mikewood@deakin.edu.au January 2003 (has links)
The attainment of high grades on the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) is critical to the future study and employment prospects of many Australian adolescents. Thus it is important to understand the factors that contribute to performance in the VCE. The aims of this study were twofold: the main aim was to test competing models of academic performance, subsuming a range of situational and dispositional variables based on a) self-efficacy theory, b) target and purpose goals, c) cognitive skills and self-regulatory strategies, and d) positive psychology. These models were each tested in terms of English performance and mathematics performance as these units contribute proportionally the most to overall VCE scores. In order to study whether pressures peculiar to the VCE impact on performance, the competing models were tested in a sample of Victorian students prior to the VCE (year 10) and then during the VCE (year 11). A preliminary study was conducted in order to develop and test four scales required for use in the major study, using an independent sample of 302 year nine students. The results indicated that these new scales were psychometrically reliable and valid. Three-hundred and seven Australian students participated in the year 10 and 11 study. These students were successively asked to provide their final years 9, 10 and 11 English and mathematics grades at times one, three and five and to complete a series of questionnaires at times two and four. Results of the year 10 study indicated that models based on self-efficacy theory were the best predictors of both English and mathematics performance, with high past grades, high self-efficacy and low anxiety contributing most to performance. While the year 10 self-efficacy models, target goal models, positive psychology models, self-regulatory models and cognitive skill based models were each robust in the sample in year 11, a substantial increase in explained variance was observed from year 10 to year 11 in the purpose goal models. Results indicated that students’ mastery goals and their performance-approach goals became substantially more predictive in the VCE than they were prior to the VCE. This result can be taken to suggest that these students responded in very instrumental ways to the pressures, and importance, of their VCE. An integrated model based on a combination of the variables from the competing models was also tested in the VCE. Results showed that these models were comparable, both in English and mathematics, to the self-efficacy models, but explained less variance than the purpose goal models. Thus in terms of parsimony the integrated models were not preferred. The implications of these results in terms of teaching practices and school counseling practices are discussed. It is recommended that students be encouraged to maintain a positive outlook in relation to their schoolwork and that they be encouraged to set their VCE goals in terms of a combination of self-referenced (mastery) and other-referenced (performance-approach) goals.

Perceptions of primary school principals about the assessment of learner performance in mathematics within outcome based education.

Mdluli, Manono Angeline 14 October 2008 (has links)
M.Ed. / The transformasieproses in Suid-Afrika met die instelling van Uitkomsgebaseerde Onderwys, asook die implementering van die Nasionale Assesseringsbeleid tesame met snelle ontwikkeling in die onderrig en leer van wiskunde, het ‘n veranderde siening van die skoolhoof se rol, funksie en verantwoordelikhede teweeg gebring. Een omvattende verandering vir die skoolhoof is om te verseker dat ‘n skool gehalte onderrig en leer voorsien en in stand hou. Die tranformasie in die onderwys het daartoe aanleiding gegee dat die navorser ondersoek ingestel het na die persepsies van skoolhoofde ten opsigte van die assessering van leerderprestasie in wiskunde binne die Uitkomsgebaseerde Onderwysparadigma. Hierdie navorsig gee die verskillende persepsies wat laerskoolhoofde oor die aard van wiskunde en die assessering van leerderprestasie in wiskunde het. ‘n Kwantitatiewe navorsingsmetode is gebruik om skoolhoofde se persepsies oor die assessering van leerderprestasie in wiskunde te identifiseer. Tesame hiermee het ‘n literatuuroorsig die raamwerk vir die ondersoek voorsien. Die doel van die navorsing was om die persepsies onderliggend aan skoolhoofde se bestuur van assesseringshandelinge te identifiseer. ‘n Gestruktureerde vraelys is as navorsingsinstrument gebruik. Die sleutelbevindings van hierdie navorsing was dat laerskoolhoofde uiteenlopende persepsies van die aard van wiskunde en die assessering van leerderprestasie in wiskunde het. Hulle persepsies van die aard van wiskunde spruit uit die manier waarop hulleself in wiskunde onderrig is, die manier waarop hulle geassesseer is, en hulle oortuigings en houdings oor wiskunde en assessering. Die volgende sleutelaspekte het uit hulle persepsies van die assessering van leerderprestasie in wiskunde en hulle rol om te verseker dat gehalte onderwys voorsien word, na vore gekom: • ‘n Gebrek aan begrip vir die aard van wiskundige kennis. • ‘n Gebrek aan begrip van die essensie van uitkomsgebaseerde assessering. • Beperkte kennis en begrip van hedendaagse sienings oor die onderrig en leer van wiskunde. Ten slotte is dit duidelik dat deur opleiding en ontwikkelingsprogramme en sterk ondersteuningstrukture, skoolhoofde ondersteun kan word om die assessering van leerderprestasie doeltreffend te bestuur en die voorsiening van gehalte onderrig en leer in wiskunde te verseker. / Mr. D.R.

Selfpersepsie en kursuspersepsie in studente se loopbaankeuse

Ferreira, Lynette 23 April 2014 (has links)
M.Ed. (Educational Leadership) / One of the most important choices that a student has to make is that of a career. Because of the financial implications, it is of the utmost importance that a student makes the right choice. To be able to do so, the student must know him-/herself and must be aware of the demands of the specific career. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a student's self and career perception have an influence on the successful completion of his/her studies. The point of departure of this study is the perceptual tradition and self-concept theory. This tradition operates on the premise that all behaviour is a function of the individual's perceived world. Each person has a unique system of perceptions about the self and this self-concept generates behaviour and is selective as far as the assimilation of other perceptions is concerned. This tradition maintains that each person is a conscious agent who considers, constructs, interprets and then acts. Research was undertaken to investigate the self and career perceptions of students and the effect that they may have on successful career choices. The most important findings were: The students all have a positive self-concept as well as a positive perception of the future. They all feel that the economy and politics will not have a negative influence on their future career. Students who have made a successful career choice had a thorough knowledge of their future careers and of their own ability, likes, dislikes and interests whereas students who have made a wrong choice did not have such knowledge at first. The following is recommended: The vocational guidance teacher should guide pupils towards in-depth self-perceptions and career perceptions.
