<p>The present dissertation is concerned with the social organization of emotions in talk-in-interaction. Conversation analytic procedures were used to uncover the practices through which participants in social interaction convey, understand, enact, and utilize emotions that are made relevant to the interaction. The central aim is to describe such practices and the contexts in which they are deployed, and to link emotions to the social actions that they perform or contribute to performing within situated activities. Conversation analytic work has generally not addressed emotions explicitly for reasons discussed in the dissertation, and a second aim was therefore to test the applicability of conversation analysis to emotion research, to theoretically bring together separate fields of inquiry, and to discuss advantages and limitations of a talk-in-interactional approach to emotions. Furthermore, the analytic approach to emotions is restricted to displays and orientations that are made relevant by participants themselves.</p><p>Data consists of video recordings of six graduate school seminars at a large university in the United States, as well as interviews with all 22 participants. From the analyses, three themes emerged; "frustration", "embarrassment", and "enjoyment", and within each, an assortment of practices for doing emotions were found. Frustration was primarily located in the context of violations of activity-specific turn-taking norms. Embarrassment was found to do multiple interactional work; for example, in contexts of repair, teasing, and culturally delicate matters. Enjoyment was found to be collaboratively pursued between and within institutional activities; for example, through reported speech dramatizations, utilization of activity-transitional environments, and playful 'mock' emotions.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / In 2012 the secondary education the state of Rio Grande do Sul underwent a curricular reorganization called as Polytechnic Education. This new proposal for Secondary Education directs that the school curriculum is organized by area of knowledge, the content approach are buoyed by guiding principles, that the evaluation is emancipatory, understands the work as an educational principle, and provides for inclusion of joint spaces of knowledge called Integrated Seminars. In view of these guidelines it is understood that the pedagogical practice is changing, thus, the present study aims to investigate the contributions of a didactic proposal buoyed the assumptions Science-Technology-Society to develop classes in Integrated Seminars of space according to the purposes thereof. This study is qualitative and as instruments for data collection form used questionnaires, logbook and reviews of student written productions. The data analysis was guided by the Discursive Textual Analysis, from four analytical categories: (I) Conceptions on the Implementation of the Polytechnic Education; (II) Development of Integrated Seminars; (III) Teacher Formation; (IV) Approximations of assumptions STS with the Purposes of the Integrated Seminars. Signals the need for discussions on the Polytechnic Education, in particular on issues related to the collective work of teachers for planning teaching practices in accordance with the purposes of the proposed curriculum in an interdisciplinary and contextualized perspective, we realize the need that the workload of teachers should be rethought in order to organize teacher training spaces to address the assumptions of the Polytechnic Education and perspectives and methodologies that can be bench marks of educational work in line with the objectives of the proposed curriculum. It is noteworthy that the assumptions of the Science-Technology-Society approach are configured as a possibility to support the preparation and development of classes in the context of Integrated Seminars of the Natural Sciences area, covering interdisciplinarity, contextualization and socially relevant themes approach. Finally, it signals the need of joint partnerships between university, school and state education department for conducting teacher training spaces for those found clashes are overcome. / No ano de 2012 o Ensino Médio no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul passou por uma reforma curricular denominada de Ensino Médio Politécnico.

Diante destas orientações entende-se que a prática pedagógica está em transformação, assim, o presente trabalho tem como finalidade investigar as contribuições de uma proposta didática balizada nos pressupostos do enfoque Ciência-Tecnologia-Sociedade para desenvolver as aulas no espaço dos Seminários Integrados de acordo com as finalidades do mesmo. O presente estudo tem natureza qualitativa e como instrumentos de obtenção de dados foram utilizados questionários, diários de bordo e avaliações de produções escritas dos alunos. A análise dos dados foi orientada pelos pressupostos da Análise Textual Discursiva, a partir de quatro categorias analíticas: (I) Concepções sobre a Implementação do Ensino Médio Politécnico; (II) Formação Continuada; (III) Desenvolvimento dos Seminários Integrados; (IV) Aproximações dos Pressupostos CTS com as Finalidades dos Seminários Integrados. Sinaliza-se a necessidade de discussões sobre o Ensino Médio Politécnico, em especial sobre questões vinculadas ao trabalho coletivo dos professores para planejamento de práticas didáticas de acordo com as finalidades da proposta curricular em uma perspectiva interdisciplinar e contextualizada, assim, percebeu-se a necessidade de se repensar a carga horária dos docentes, a fim de organizar espaços de formação docente que aborde os pressupostos do Ensino Médio Politécnico, perspectivas e metodologias que possam ser balizadoras de um trabalho pedagógico em sintonia com as finalidades da proposta curricular. Ressalta-se que os pressupostos do enfoque Ciência-Tecnologia-Sociedade se configuram como uma possibilidade para fundamentar a elaboração e desenvolvimento de aulas no contexto dos Seminários Integrados da área da Ciências da Natureza, que contemplem a interdisciplinaridade, contextualização e a abordagem de temas socialmente relevantes. Por fim, sinaliza-se a necessidade de articulação de parcerias entre universidade, escola e secretaria de educação para a realização de espaços de formação de professores para que os enfrentamentos encontrados sejam superados.

Making a successful Christian marriage is a major challenge that faces the Seventh Day Adventist church (SDA Church) of Malawi. The colonial government of Nyasaland (Malawi) created weak marriages, promoting high divorce rates by its own practices during its era, which have remained to this day. The failure of secular marriages endangers the success of SDA Christian marriages. Little has been done by the Church to educate its members concerning successful Christian marriage. This study focuses on educating the church to deal with the problems that cause marriage failure in the SDA Church. The Malawi government is another tool that the church could use to address marriage failure. I have used the Bible, and scientific research methods to suggest workable solutions for Christian marriage. / Practical Theology / M.Th. (Practical Theology)
