This exploratory multiple embedded case study investigates perspectives on education reform under conditions of minority language endangerment in Sunan Yughur Autonomous County, a minority-district in northwest China. The study included three school sites: a Yughur minority urban school; a Yughur minority rural district school, and a Yughur majority rural district school and four embedded cases: school administrators, teachers, parents and students, of Yughur, other minority, or Han nationality. Adult stakeholders were interviewed on what is important to learn in “education for quality”, and what aspects of Yughur knowledge, culture and language should be included in school curriculum as part of education for quality, while students were asked what they enjoyed studying and whether they would enjoy learning stories, poems and songs in Yughur in school. Findings include strong support among parents and students regardless of ethnicity or school site for Yughur language and culture as “essential qualities” to foster in Sunan County school curriculum, with moderate to weak support among educators ranges with some variation among sites. Three parallel visions emerge from the study of what it means today for Chinese minority student to be an educated person in contemporary China: (a) regular Chinese-medium education; (b) multicultural Chinese-medium education; and (c) maintenance bilingual education in Yughur and Chinese. The third vision envisions developing additive bilinguals who know the heritage of their minority as well as the national curriculum in Mandarin. A vision of balanced bilingualism and multiculturalism that sees heritage languages and Mandarin as “resources” is shared by the large majority of parents and students, most teachers and some administrators. Holders of other visions for local minority education largely share a “Language as Problem” orientation towards minority languages. One aim of devolution of school-based curriculum authority is to develop schools’ individuality. This study reveals three divergent models of local schooling that have developed in one minority school district: one that centres on a monolingual model of national culture, one monolingual, multicultural model, and one bilingual, multicultural model, with the latter model corresponding more closely to minority stakeholder perspectives that schools should play a stronger role in the maintenance and revitalization of their cultural and linguistic heritage.

Pesquisas em Linguística dedicadas ao ensino de língua materna têm contribuído, nas últimas décadas, no Brasil, para a reformulação de concepções de linguagem e para a alteração de práticas pedagógicas dissonantes das expectativas de professores e alunos. Em nosso trabalho, objetivamos investigar como tal contribuição teórica se materializa em ações políticas para a educação. Partimos, assim, da hipótese de que tanto os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais de Ensino Médio quanto o Exame Nacional de Ensino Médio (Enem) são efeitos do desenvolvimento dos estudos linguísticos, uma vez que, concernente ao ensino de língua portuguesa, fundamentam-se em teorias dos estudos da linguagem. Para viabilizar o necessário exame do que ora conjecturamos, definimos como objetivos específicos desta pesquisa: a) identificar que concepções de língua e linguagem comparecem nos parâmetros curriculares do ensino médio; b) analisar como diferentes perspectivas linguísticas se conjugam nos documentos oficiais, bem como nas matrizes de referência e em questões objetivas de Língua Portuguesa do Enem; c) examinar que conceitos de língua e linguagem presentes nos documentos oficiais estão subjacentes aos itens do Enem selecionados como corpus desta pesquisa e às suas matrizes de referência Para tanto, nosso percurso tem início na leitura de documentos parametrizadores do Ensino Básico, em âmbito nacional. Como aporte teórico, elegemos estudos de pesquisadores brasileiros que concebem língua/linguagem como forma/lugar de interação, sendo eles Carlos Franchi, Celso Pedro Luft, João Wanderley Geraldi, Ingedore Villaça Koch e Luiz Carlos Travaglia. Nosso segundo movimento analítico enfoca exame qualitativo de questões de múltipla escolha do Enem, selecionadas de duas edições (2004 e 2012), bem como de suas matrizes de referência. Nesta etapa, respondemos a questões norteadoras que nos permitem empreender a análise. Dos resultados obtidos, verificamos que os parâmetros curriculares e os itens do Enem analisados, assim como suas matrizes de referência, confirmam a concepção de língua/linguagem defendida pelos estudiosos brasileiros – como forma de interação, o que nos permite ratificá-los como efeitos do desenvolvimento dos estudos linguísticos dedicados ao ensino de língua materna. / Research in Linguistics devoted to the mother tongue teaching has contributed, in recent decades, in Brazil, for the reformulation of concepts of language and for changing teaching practices dissonant from expectations of teachers and students. In our study, we aimed to investigate how the contribution materializes in political action for education. We start thus the assumption that both the High School National Curriculum Standards and the National Secondary Education Examination (Enem) are effects of the development of linguistic studies, since, concerning to the Portuguese language teaching, are based on theories of language studies. To make the necessary exam than now we conjecture, defined as specific objectives of this research: a) identify which conceptions of idiom and language attend the curricular parameters of high school; b) analyze how different linguistic perspectives combine in official documents, as well as the reference patterns and objective questions of Enem Portuguese tests ; c) examine what the idiom and language concepts are present in official documents underlying the items Enem (selected as corpus) and its reference arrays Therefore, our journey begins in reading the basic education standard documents at the national level. As a theoretical framework, we chose studies of Brazilian researchers who design idiom/language as a way/place of interaction. They are Carlos Franchi, Celso Pedro Luft, John Wanderley Geraldi, Ingedore Villaça Koch and Luiz Carlos Travaglia. Our second analytic movement focuses on the qualitative examination of multiple choice questions Enem (2004 and 2012 selected editions) as well as their reference patterns. In this step we respond to guiding questions that allow us to undertake the analysis. From the results, we find that curriculum parameters and most of the analyzed items, as well as the reference patterns, confirm the conception of idiom/language defended by Brazilian researchers – as a form of interaction – that allow us corroborate them as effects of the development of linguistic studies focused on the mother tongue teaching.

Because it is apparently a very broad and diffuse idea, the Delors Report, published in Brazil under the title Education - a treasure to be discovered was adopted as a starting point. The impact of this report was examined in the elaboration of the National Curricular Parameters for High School, specifically regarding this dimensions and perspectives related to the conception of knowledge and qualification. On this aspect, it is analyzed how the understanding of the education crisis was appropriated by the Brazilian government, at that time, in order to implement curricular changes in Secondary School / Na presente dissertação são analisados os sentidos atribuídos ao que se convencionou intitular crise da educação. Por se tratar aparentemente de uma ideia muito ampla e difusa, adotou-se como ponto de partida o relatório Delors, publicado no Brasil com o título Educação – um tesouro a descobrir. Examinou-se o impacto desse relatório na elaboração dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais para o Ensino Médio, especificamente no que tange às dimensões e perspectivas relacionadas à concepção de conhecimento e formação. Sobre tal aspecto, analisa-se como o entendimento da crise da educação foi apropriado pelo o governo brasileiro, naquela ocasião, a fim de implementar mudanças curriculares no Ensino Médio

The world is becoming a global place in which science, technology, engineering and mathematics hold a key to a successful future. To help secure this future it is important to engage students early with relevant curriculum that sparks interest and success in STEM fields. However, education reform occurs slowly, so this paper looked at a potential paradigm that can help to bring about change in a middle school environment that harnesses the long standing strengths of learning and education with the integration of technology to create changes in the pedagogy of learners and teachers. The study implemented a transmedia STEM book and evaluated the impact it had on student perceptions of STEM, school attitude, academic achievement, and preferred activity types, providing an example vehicle for change that can be adopted over time. The main findings showed that students who used a 3-Dimensional printer had higher math achievement and a more positive perception of math.

Title: Výtvarná výchova ve školním vzdělávacím programu pro 2. stupeň základní školy Author: Bc. Kateřina Círová Department: Katedra výtvarné výchovy Supervisor: PhDr. Leonora Kitzbergerová, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The subject of my thesis is the creation of an art education curriculum for the sixth year at the second level of primary school. In the theoretical part of the thesis, I first analyze the concept of art education in terms of its development and changes over time. Then I analyze the concept of the visual field in relation to the structure of the curriculum within the characteristics of Art and Culture for the second level of basic education. I look deeper at creating educational content in relation to specified educational goals. In the last chapter of the theoretical portion, I define the concept of specific teaching methods for teachers of art education. In the practical part of my thesis, I apply the educational content of the field of art education to the program of teaching art education at the second level of primary school with regard to the teacher's conception of art education. In the empirical part, I focus on the reflexive practices of the teacher in the framework of action research. I emphasize the factors that influence the teacher's approach to teaching. I present the...
