The problem of study concerns whether the video self-confrontation technique would have a beneficial behavioral effect on children engaged in play therapy, as had previously been demonstrated on adults receiving psychotherapy. Using this technique, videotape equipment records a patient during a therapy session after which the patient is confronted with the reality of his own image and behavior. The objectives of the video technique are to accelerate insight and positive behavior change.

Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Curriculum and Instruction / Frederick Burrack / The purpose of this research is to discover influences that guide practice habits of collegiate instrumental music students, explore student self-discovery of practice needs, and create strategies that can be used to improve the quality of students’ individual music practice. To best address these intentions, three unique yet sequential studies were implemented. The Discovery study focused on the uncovering prior experiences that shaped students’ practice habits before entering college to get an idea of how current practice habits were formed. The Video Self-Confrontation study had participants watch a video recording of a practice sessions to address possible gaps between their perception and the reality of their practice habits. The video self-confrontation prompted discussion about possibilities for enhanced practice skills. The Intervention study expanded upon information from previous studies to develop and administer personalized interventions designed to address weaknesses and identify effect on participants’ practice habits. Independent practice, the time after instruction when a student works toward mastery of skills or concepts, is widely recognized as a critical component of improvement in the performance music. These studies aim to help bridge the gap between practice theories and optimal experiences. These studies explored elements related to practice behavior. Because each person had unique experiences and diverse ways to describe their experiences, a methodology for each study was required that allowed for structured data collection and organization. As such, the constructivist paradigm supported these studies.

Este trabalho foi desenvolvido a partir da experimentação de uma nova metodologia para a produção textual – organização de uma seqüência didática a partir da perspectiva dos gêneros textuais (Schneuwly & Dolz, 2004)– que serviu como motivação para uma auto-reflexão do docente sobre sua atuação durante sessão de autoconfrontação (Clot, 1999/2006). A conjugação de duas perspectivas firma a base teórica deste projeto: o quadro epistemológico do ISD; e os estudos ergonômicos propostos pela Clínica da Atividade (Clot, 1999/2006; Clot e Faïta, 2000). A escolha do interacionismo sociodiscursivo (ISD) como base teórico-filosófica principal se consolida com o objetivo de mudar o conceito sobre o texto na sala de aula de língua materna, além de aprofundar o foco de estudo do agir docente como trabalho através das dimensões que o constituem. / The main aim of this study is characterize how two teachers of Portuguese who work in a public High School represent their own acting as teaching professionals. This research was developed from the experiment of a new writing methodology – the organization of a didactic sequence from the text genre perspective (Schneuwly & Dolz, 2004) – which enrolled a motivation a motivation for a teacher’s self-reflection during the self-confrontation mode (Clot, 1999/2006). The conjugation of two perspectives compounds the theoretical basis for this project. The Socio-discursive Interactionism (ISD) epistemological frame; and the ergonomical studies proposed by The Activity Clinic (Clot, 1999/2006; Clot e Faïta, 1999). The choice of the Socio-discursive Interactionism as the main philosophical and theoretical basis is justified by the goal of changing the current text concept in Portuguese as a Native Language classrooms, besides deepen the focus on studies which consider the teaching acting as an occupation throught it

The main objective is to give visibility to emotions experienced in the context of teacher education and work, as well as to its recursiveness in language, by means of investigating representations of emotions and resources for acting in undergraduate voices. As a way to trigger this language in dialogue, the following tools from the Clinic of Activity are used: simple self-confrontation (SSC) and cross self-confrontation (CSC). The texts were generated in two SSC sessions with two novice teachers, one with each research collaborator, and one CSC session with both collaborators, in 2015-6. These texts are analyzed in the light of Socio-discursive Interactionism (BRONCKART, 2008, 2012), focusing on thematic content and modalizations, so that to comprehend the lines that weave emotions and interweave resources for acting on verbalization about teachers‟ education and work. For this, other relevant concepts involve emotion (SPINOZA, 1955, VYGOTSKY, 2004, GOLEMAN, 2007; CRAMPTON; LEWIS,2016), reconfiguration (BRONCKART, 2008), objective, subjective and social worlds (HABERMAS, 2010), empathy (BAKHTIN, 2010), discursive genre and style (BAKHTIN, 1997) and professional genre and style (CLOT, 2007, 2010). The analysis is developed in order to discuss the following research questions: which themes emerge in language about teachers´ work? How are emotions and resources for acting thematized and intertwined in graduating teachers´ voices? In which way are resources for acting woven from emotions and vice-versa? On answering these questions, threads of the objective, social and subjective worlds are unraveled through modalizations present in teacher discourse. Based on this analysis, remarks about teacher education are woven, in terms of inclusion in the professional genre and the development of style, of situations that mobilize the emotions of graduating teachers, of the reconfiguration of emotions and acting, as well as the fabric of resources for acting, amongst others, emphasizing the emotional dimension of teachers. Lastly, considerations based on the discussion of data are presented, as the necessity of emotional education at schools and at universities, as well the relevance of work groups, of reconfiguration processes and of psychological support in teachers‟ courses. / No campo da Linguística Aplicada, o presente estudo trata da linguagem sobre o trabalho docente em formação inicial, em especial, durante o PIBID na Licenciatura em Letras Inglês, UFPB, atentando para as emoções e para os recursos para o agir por meio da linguagem. O objetivo central é dar visibilidade às emoções vividas na formação e no trabalho docente e a sua recursividade na linguagem, por meio da análise das representações das emoções e dos recursos para o agir na voz de professores licenciandos. Para suscitar essas vozes em diálogo, são utilizadas ferramentas da Clínica da Atividade, corrente da Psicologia do Trabalho, a saber: autoconfrontação simples (ACS) e autoconfrontação cruzada (ACC). Os textos foram gerados em 2015-16, em duas sessões de ACS, uma com cada um dos dois professores colaboradores, licenciandos do referido curso de Letras Inglês, membros do PIBID atrelado ao curso, bem como em uma sessão de ACC, com os mesmos colaboradores. Esses textos são analisados à luz do Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo (BRONCKART, 2008, 2012), com enfoque no conteúdo temático e nas modalizações, a fim de percorrer os fios que tecem as emoções e entretecem recursos para o agir no dizer sobre a formação e o trabalho docente. Para isso, são considerados conceitos como emoção (SPINOZA, 1955, VYGOTSKY, 2004, GOLEMAN, 2007; CRAMPTON; LEWIS, 2016), reconfiguração (BRONCKART, 2008), mundos objetivo, subjetivo e social (HABERMAS, 2010), empatia (BAKHTIN, 2010), gênero e estilo do discurso (BAKHTIN, 1997) e gênero profissional (CLOT, 2007, 2010). Destarte, a análise é desenvolvida com o propósito de discutir as seguintes questões de pesquisa: quais temas emergem na linguagem sobre o trabalho docente? Como as emoções e os recursos para o agir são tematizados e entrelaçados na voz dos professores licenciandos? De que forma são tecidos recursos para o agir a partir das emoções e vice-versa? Ao responder a essas perguntas, são percorridos fios dos mundos objetivo, social e subjetivo nas modalizações presentes no dizer dos professores. A partir dessa análise, são tecidas considerações sobre a formação inicial, quanto à inserção no gênero profissional e o desenvolvimento do estilo, sobre situações que mobilizam as emoções dos licenciandos, a reconfiguração de emoções e do agir, a tessitura de recursos para o agir, entre outras, enfatizando a dimensão emocional dos professores. Concluindo, seguem ponderações fundamentadas na discussão dos dados, como a necessidade de educação das emoções na escola e na universidade, a relevância da formação de coletivos de trabalho, dos processos de reconfiguração e do apoio psicológico nas licenciaturas.

Nous abordons l’ « activité didactique » des enseignants comme le processus, individuel et collectif, d’élaboration et de réalisation de la tâche, lorsque celle-ci consiste à enseigner et faire apprendre des savoirs disciplinaires. Nous nous intéressons à l’activité didactique des enseignants de l’école primaire en géographie, en considérant qu’elle s’actualise en situation d’interaction avec les élèves dans le « discours géographique de l’enseignant ». Pour cela, nous mobilisons un cadre de didactique de la géographie, fondé sur l’interrogation du rapport à l’espace terrestre des individus, et nous y intégrons des apports de l’ergonomie et de la clinique de l’activité.L’étude repose sur l’analyse de quatre « unités d’enseignement » de géographie menées avec des élèves de 9 à 11 ans et d’un corpus issu des entretiens d’autoconfrontation simple et croisée avec les enseignants concernés.Les résultats présentent, à la fois, la singularité et le caractère générique de l’activité didactique et des discours géographique des enseignants. Ils mettent en évidence la place importante qu’occupent les ressources issues de l’expérience personnelle du monde, de la géographie scolaire et de la prescription endogène dans l’activité didactique des enseignants polyvalents. L’analyse des autoconfrontations met au jour le rôle central de la mobilisation subjective dans l’élaboration de la tâche et dans l’ouverture d’une zone de développement potentiel de l’activité didactique des enseignants. / We approach the teachers’ “didactic activity” as the individual and collective process of drawing up and realizing the task, when this one involves both teaching and instructing disciplinary knowledge. We will focus on primary school teachers’ didactic activity in geography, which becomes the “teachers’ geographical discourse” while interacting with pupils. For this purpose, we mobilize a framework of geography didactic, based on the concept of personal geographical relationship to the world, as well as some concepts of ergonomic and clinical analysis of the activity. This study is based on the analysis of four geography “teaching units”, led with 9 to 11 year- old pupils, and on a corpus resulting from self-confrontation interviews. The results present both the singularity and the generic characteristic of the didactic activity and of the teachers’ geographical discourses. They highlight the important place taken up by the resources produced by the individual world experience, by the subject matter and by the endogenous prescription within the didactic activity of the pluri-disciplinary teachers. The analysis of the self-confrontation interviews reveals the central role of subjective mobilization in the drawing up of the task and in the opening of a potential development area of the teachers’ didactic activity.

Considering the theoretical and analytical categories of Dialectical Historical Materialism, and studies about the activity , according to the theory of Clinical Activity by Yves Clot, the study proposition is focused on the self-confrontation technique, with some changes proposed by this researcher. Two pedagogy students (trainees) are recorded while teaching and, then, go through the self-confrontation stage, in which they watch their own practices during the recorded classes. The researcher questions about the classes, makes propositions and gives suggestions about those practices. The focus on the self-confrontation technique as an appropriate tool for the formal education of teachers is based in theories which consider reflection as the main part of the professional education process. During the analysis of the self-confrontations, the points of observation are the reflections expressed by the trainees and their movements, the variations of activities, and the comparison between self-confrontations / O objetivo principal desta pesquisa é compreender a autoconfrontação como possibilidade de reflexão e movimento, na atividade executada - o estágio. Considerando as categorias teóricas e de análise do Materialismo Histórico Dialético, e estudos sobre a atividade , conforme a teoria da Clinica da Atividade de Yves Clot, a proposta de estudo está focada na técnica da autoconfrontação com as alterações propostas pela pesquisadora. Duas alunas de pedagogia- estagiárias - são filmadas dando aulas, depois, passam pela etapa da autoconfrontação, e assistem trechos de suas aulas. A pesquisadora questiona-as sobre suas atividades na sala de aula e intervém com propostas, opiniões e questionamentos. O enfoque na técnica da autoconfrontação, como possível ferramenta na formação inicial de docentes, apoia-se em teóricos que consideram a reflexão como principal quesito no processo de formação profissional. Na análise das autoconfrontações, o centro de observações é as reflexões expressadas pelas estagiárias, os movimentos, mudanças de atividades, na comparação entre as autoconfrontações

Dans la théorie socioconstructiviste de Vygotski (1985), la prise en compte de l’élève, de ses connaissances et de sa culture est un incontournable pour l’apprentissage et le développement. Ce travail de recherche s’intéresse à l’analyse de l’activité des élèves de première année de lycée, c’est un âge critique pour le développement de la personnalité de l’adolescent pour ce qui concerne le raisonnement mathématique. Le choix du sujet vient de la réforme du système éducatif saoudien, et de son projet pour développer les mathématiques à l’école. Dans cette approche socioconstructiviste, nous avons décidé d’aller au plus près des apprentissages, sur le terrain et aussi hors du système saoudien, pour voir ce que se passe ailleurs, quelle est la place laissée aux jeunes élèves. Nous avons ainsi observé, analysé et discuter les interactions entre les élèves et les professeurs de trois classes de mathématiques en France et en Arabie Saoudite. Dans les démarches suivies dans une configuration en îlots, nous nous rendons compte que ce n’est pas seulement une organisation en îlots qui permet de donner la parole aux jeunes élèves. Les échanges à partir de la réponse à une question, entre le professeur et les élèves étaient faibles. Dans cette étude de thèse, nous nous voyons donner le parole aux jeunes élèves dans deux dispositifs différent ; le focus groupe et l’ACG (l’autoconfrontation de groupe de jeunes), que nous avons développé dans nos analyses. L’approche innovante (ACG) donne la parole aux jeunes dans un dynamique socioconstructiviste est celle que nous cherchons à transférer vers l’Arabie Saoudite. Les résultats montrent que les deux dispositifs sont riches en potentialité, à la fois riches parce que cela redonne confiance en soi aux élèves, et aussi parce que l’estime de soi est revalorisée. Nous relevons également que ces dispositifs ont permis une évolution des pratiques pédagogiques des enseignants. / In the social constructivist theory of Vygotsky (1985), taking into account the student, his knowledge and its culture is a must for learning and development. This research focuses on the analysis of the activity of the students of first year of high school, the critical age for the development of the adolescent's personality with regard to mathematical reasoning. The choice of subject is come from the reform of the Saudi educational system, and its project to develop mathematics in school. In this socio-constructivist approach, we decided to go closer to learning, field and also off the Saudi system, to see what is happening elsewhere, what is instead left to the young students. We observed, analyzed and discussed the interaction between students and teachers from three math classes in France and Saudi Arabia. In the approaches used in islet configuration, we realize that this is not just an organization in islet that can give voice to young students. The exchanges from the answer to a question, between the teacher and the students were low. In this thesis, we see give voice to young students in two different devices; focus group of l’ACG « l’autoconfrontation de groupe de jeunes », (the youth group of self-confrontation) that we have developed in our analyzes. The innovative approach (ACG) gives voice to young people in a social constructivist dynamics is that we seek to move to Saudi Arabia. The results show that the two devices are rich in potential, both rich because it gives confidence to students, and also because self-esteem is revalued. We also note that these devices have allowed an evolution of teaching practices.

Cette recherche porte sur la régulation de l’activité des masseurs-kinésithérapeutes, en situation tutorale.Nous nous proposons d’analyser les feedback de régulation privilégiés par les tuteurs à partir d’entretiens de régulation filmés post situation professionnelle. Nous étudions en parallèle la présence de marqueurs de régulation de la conception de l’activité dans le discours du stagiaire. Les thématiques abordées lors des interactions ainsi que les dilemmes/problématiques (Clot, 2014, 2000) exprimés par chacun des acteurs sont explorés, par l’usage de la méthodologie des entretiens d’autoconfrontation et de l’analyse de contenu (Bardin, 2007), dans une approche compréhensive du processus de régulation. Le cadre théorique prend appui sur l’apprentissage professionnel accompagné (Jorro et al, 2016) et la régulation des apprentissages (Allal, 2007), empruntés au champ de la formation des adultes. Les résultats obtenus, relatifs à l’analyse de l’activité de huit dyades associant tuteur et stagiaire, sont l’identification des feedback privilégiés par les tuteurs et des différentes modalités de régulation tutorale favorisant l’expression de la régulation de la conception l’activité par le stagiaire, ainsi que la mise au jour de marqueurs de régulation dans le discours de celui-ci et des éléments de contexte influençant le processus de régulation. Nous proposons une typologie des régulations de l’activité, celles réalisées par le régulateur (le tuteur) et celles exprimées par le régulé (le stagiaire ou le tutoré). / This research focuses on the regulation of the activity of physiotherapists in a mentoring context. To carry out our survey, we implemented video regulation interviews with eight dyads in the context of mentor regulation and exchanges between tutor and tutee, following a clinical learning situation. We opted for a discursive approach to analyse the types of regulation feedback favoured by mentors. We also examined regulation signs which correspond to regulation intents in tutee’s discourses. The content analysis methodology (Bardin, 2007) allowed us to highlight the topics most often discussed during the interactions which sustain the regulation interviews, in relation to professional representations. The self-confrontation interviews method enabled us to understand the regulation process: it allows to probe into the tutor and tutee dilemma inherent to regulation interviews, along with Clot (2014, 2000). The theoretical references come mainly from the field of adult training, for instance “accompanied professional learning” (Jorro et al, 2016) and the regulation of learning (Allal, 2007). Our results are manyfold: informative feedback is more used by the tutor than reflexive feedback or evaluation feedback. The tutees express their intentions to change their practices for improvement in varying proportions during both the regulation and the self-confrontation interviews. We could identify the mentoring feedback which best favours the student’s mental process of regulation practice. We also singled out the words used by the tutee, which are evidence of the regulation process at stake during the activity conception. We finally suggest a classification of the various activity regulations.

The accounting profession continually has problems with hiring and keeping qualified staff; and many accounting scandals have shown a lack of ethical behavior on the part of Certified Public Accountants (CPA). This suggest a misfit between those in the profession and the ethics that the profession strives towards. Research has shown that the congruity of personal values with organizational values, person-organization fit (P-O fit), is an important factor in the hiring, socialization, and retention of employees. In addition, ethical behavior has been found related to P-O fit. Accounting educators have been called upon to address these problems by inculcating accounting students with the values of the accounting profession. This research firstly reports on the results of a comparison of the personal values of upper level accounting students in Georgia with the personal values of CPA leaders in Georgia. Personal value priorities were measured with the Rokeach Value Survey (RVS). The findings indicated that these samples of Georgia CPA leaders (N = 193) and accounting students (N = 516) significantly differed in the priority given to 24 of the 36 (66.7%) RVS values. This result suggests a lack of P-O fit between accounting students and the accounting profession. Secondly, this research reports on the effectiveness of two education interventions designed to improve the P-O fit of accounting students: a Curriculum Modification Intervention and a Value Self-Confrontation (VSC) Intervention. These education interventions were delivered online as part of the content of two distance learning classes on accounting ethics. The curriculum of both classes were augmented with content aimed at increasing the priority given to the value of courageous. The two classes were designated as either Group 1 or Group 2. Group 1 received only the Curriculum Modification Intervention. Group 2 received both the Curriculum Modification Intervention and the VSC Intervention, which was targeted at increasing the priority given to the four values of capable, courageous. honest, and responsible—values related to the Code of Professional Conduct and Bylaws (2012) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The results indicated that Group 1, from the beginning to the end of class (short-term value change), did not increase the priority given to courageous. Thus, the stand-alone Curriculum Modification Intervention did not result in the desired effect. Group 2, on the other hand, did increase the short-term priority given to all four of the targeted values. Moreover, Group 2 increased the long-term priority given to two of the four targeted values: capable and courageous. The higher priority given to these values at the end of class persisted for 15-16 weeks. The effect sizes indicated practical significance. These results suggest that the VSC Intervention was effective at inducing both short-term and long-term value change in the priority given to values of importance to the ethics of the accounting profession. These findings have implications for CPA firms, specifically with regard to hiring ethically “fitting” staff and fostering an ethical culture in accounting firms. The results of this research also provide input that may be helpful in improving accounting pedagogy, especially the pedagogy of accounting ethics education and distance education.
