Educational Psychology / Built from a diverse background of theatre-based education and social change theories, drama-based instruction (DBI) employs active, kinesthetic learning strategies to engage students in classroom activities. Much of DBI is grounded in scaffolding students through a Describe, Analyze, and Relate (DAR) thinking process. DAR requires students to consider information in a systematic way, leading them through the steps of Bloom’s Taxonomy and moving from lower-order to higher-order thinking skills. Examining information at this deeper level is a process similar to the automatic thought-stopping mechanism of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). As in CBT, rather than making hasty assumptions, students are guided through steps that allow them to analyze details and to examine stimuli thoroughly. Yet the context of DBI is different from many CBT therapeutic settings because DBI is situated in a classroom environment. DAR is delivered as a whole-class intervention with peer interaction occurring throughout the thinking and questioning process. Social perspective-taking involves one individual’s efforts to discern the thoughts and feelings of another individual, a skill that has been linked to more effective problem solving. When teachers offer structured exposure to thought-stopping and perspective-taking processes, students gain practice with social perspective-taking and problem-solving skills. The current study proposed a multiple baseline, single-case design to explore how practice using the Describe, Analyze, Relate (DAR) questioning technique affects students’ capacity to engage in social perspective-taking and social problem-solving. The school in this study participated in a year-long, campus-wide initiative to train teachers in how to use DAR across subjects and grade levels. Two fourth grade teachers, one fifth grade teacher, and one visual arts teacher were identified as demonstrating proficiency in the DAR technique. In each of the three core teachers’ classes, a letter was sent home explaining the project and requesting opt-in from interested parents. From those who responded, students with special education placements were removed, then two students were randomly selected per class. The researcher met individually with the selected participants to conduct repeated measures of the Interpersonal Negotiating Strategies Interview for baseline, intervention, and follow-up phases of the study over the course of the 2012-2013 school year. Additionally, participants’ teachers were asked to complete the Social Skills subscale of the Behavior Assessment System for Children for each phase of data collection. Post-intervention interviews were conducted with the teachers to assess for their perceptions of the DAR strategy and DBI-based pedagogy in general. Visual analysis was used to assess the effectiveness of the treatment on student social perspective-taking and problem-solving. Overall, the quantitative results of the current study did not conclusively link DAR with social perspective-taking and problem-solving. However, the qualitative data from teacher interviews yielded positive feedback related to the utility of DAR questioning on improving higher-order thinking in their students. Further research is necessary to clarify and deepen understanding of this effect. / text

The purpose of this study is to explore the South Korean art education system in the context of history, culture and politics. This thesis provides further explanation on how history has impacted the South Korean art education system and affects current curriculum, theories and practices. Four highly qualified educators and professors from South Korea were interviewed to collect date relating to current practices in South Korean art education. The study focuses on Korean history, which affected the education policies, social perspective, art education theories and curriculum. This study also highlights the relationship of western art education theories and the traditional Korean theories. Understanding culture through history and policies can provide in-depth perspective on why and how South Korean art education has evolved to what it is today. This information may assist art teachers as they modify lessons to fit the needs of students who are immigrating from South Korea.

National Agency for Education for the results of national sample results show that students with another mother tongue than Swedish have low results with a larger percentage than majority students. Research shows that this depends on their mother tongue and the importance of language in the subject to learn. The purpose of this study was to examine how teachers experience, plan and implement their teaching field of mathematics in the preparatory class. The focus is on two perspectives; an intercultural perspective and a social perspective. The newly arrived pupils in the preparatory class come from different parts of the world which leads to an intercultural classroom being formed. The aim of the social perspective is understand how students integrate into the social in the classroom.I use qualitative methods through interviews. The interviews were conducted with four practicing teachers in different schools in a given municipality. Each teacher has explained their attitude to the new arrival students, working, and what difficulties they face. The results show that the teachers teaching is based on students own ideas and previous knowledge. The teachers take into account students' background and knowledge to provide trends of the intercultural approach. This intercultural attitudes is seen even when the students come with their own methods they may use. The existing school takes into account that students have different backgrounds and skills that teachers try to assume as well as study. Students integrate into the social in small groups learning to communicate, solve problems and present their results together. The teachers try to apply different teaching styles, which is one of the intercultural learning´s important aspects. The teachers use different methods to become aware of their students’ knowledge. One disadvantage is though that some teachers, as a method, choose not to use a test in the beginning of their teaching of a class to become aware of the variety of their students’ knowledge. Instead they choose to become aware of their students’ knowledge as they are teaching, through the different classes. / Skolverkets resultat från nationella provet visar att elever med annat modersmål än svenska har sämre resultat än majoritetseleverna. Forskningen visar att detta resultat kan bero på modersmålets och det nya språkets betydelse för inlärningen i ämnet. Syftet med denna undersökning har varit att studera hur lärare, planerar och genomför och upplever sin undervisning inom ämnet matematik i förberedelseklasserna. Fokus ligger på två perspektiv vilket är interkulturella perspektivet och sociala perspektivet.  De nyanlända eleverna i förberedelseklasserna kommer från olika delar av världen, vilket leder till att ett interkulturellt klassrum bildas. Med det sociala perspektivet avses förståelse för hur eleverna integreras i det sociala i klassrummet. Jag har valt att använde mig av kvalitativ metod i form av intervjuer.  Intervjuerna genomfördes med fyra verksamma lärare i olika skolor i en kommun. Respektive lärare har fått delge sin inställning om nyanlända elever, arbetssätt, samt vilka svårigheter de möter. Resultatet visar att lärarna utgår från elevernas egna idéer och tidigare kunskaper i undervisningen. Lärarna tar hänsyn till elevernas bakgrund och kunskaper, vilket ger tendenser av det interkulturella förhållningssättet. Detta interkulturella förhållningssätt ser man även när eleverna kommer med sina egen lösningsmetoder som de får använda.  I skolan tar man hänsyn till att elever har olika bakgrund och kunskaper som lärarna försöker utgå från och ta del av dessa erfarenheter.  Elever integreras i det sociala genom att vara i små grupper där lär de sig att kommunicera, lösa uppgifter och redovisa tillsammans. Lärarna försöker visa olika metoder inom ämnet vid undervisningen, vilket är en av interkulturella lärandets aspekt. De väljer kartlägga kunskaperna hos eleverna på olika sätt. Fast som en nackdel kan det vara att vissa av de  inte väljer att ha en form av test från början och föredrar att känna efter vid undervisningen.

A pesquisa investigou as relações entre ambiente sociomoral e clima escolar de duas classes em diferentes escolas públicas: uma escola com bom desempenho escolar (escola A) e outra com baixo desempenho (Escola B), segundo notas obtidas no Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação do Estado de São Paulo (IDESP). Nessas escolas, avaliou-se o ambiente sociomoral, clima escolar e o nível de perspectiva social em julgamento moral dos alunos. A amostra foi composta por alunos e professores de duas classes do 5º ano do ensino fundamental. Para avaliar o ambiente sociomoral, aplicamos um questionário sobre clima escolar e realizamos observações do cotidiano da escola. O nível de perspectiva social em julgamentos morais dos alunos foi avaliado por meio de nove histórias, em forma de situações-problema, que envolvem o valor justiça. As questões que orientaram a pesquisa foram: Em que medida o ambiente sociomoral da escola possibilita um melhor desempenho escolar dos alunos? Quais fatores do ambiente sociomoral poderiam favorecer esse bom desempenho escolar dos alunos? Alunos que apresentam um bom desempenho escolar, no sentido de boas notas escolares, têm também perspectiva social mais descentrada em seus julgamentos morais? O ambiente sociomoral da classe na escola A foi caracterizado como propenso à cooperação e na classe da escola B como tendência coercitiva, de acordo com os critérios utilizados na pesquisa. Na literatura nacional e internacional, estudos mostram que há relação positiva entre ambiente sociomoral da escola, especialmente o clima educativo, e o desempenho acadêmico dos alunos. Nesta pesquisa essa relação também foi confirmada, pois escola A se mostrou mais favorável à aprendizagem dos alunos ao disponibilizar um ambiente mais harmônico, com poucos casos de violência e de relações hostis, em que os profissionais demonstraram estar comprometidos com a educação dos alunos e tinham uma alta expectativa em relação à aprendizagem; as regras eram conhecidas por todos, os discentes podiam questionar sobre dúvidas em relação ao conteúdo e eram cobrados em relação aos estudos; havia a pessoalidade de tratamento. Os alunos demonstraram estar mais satisfeitos com a escola, com os colegas e com os profissionais em comparação aos alunos da escola B. Em contrapartida, na escola B, as normas e regras que regiam as relações não eram debatidas ou mesmo de conhecimento da maioria dos alunos; violência, incivilidade e indisciplina faziam parte do cotidiano dos alunos e eram tratados como “naturais”. Os conflitos eram erroneamente tratados, ou por serem ignorados ou por serem aplicadas sanções expiatórias, sem que fossem envolvidos processos como diálogo ou a busca pela reparação. As percepções dos alunos sobre ações de justiça da escola e do professor foram mais positivas na escola A quando comparada à escola B. No julgamento moral sobre as histórias sobre justiça constatamos que as crianças que convivem em um ambiente mais democrático/cooperativo (Escola A) tendem a dar mais respostas pró-valores em seus julgamentos, baseando-se nas normas sociais convencionais, em contratos coletivos, na necessidade do uso do diálogo para resolver conflitos ou em valores considerados universalizáveis. Na escola B, as respostas basearam-se em contravalor e pró-valor numa perspectiva individualista ou egocentrada ou centrada nas relações grupais e em normas sociais mais convencionais. Portanto, constatamos que um ambiente sociomoral cooperativo/democrático na escola influencia o desempenho acadêmico dos alunos e, também, seu desenvolvimento nas perspectivas sociais em que fazem julgamentos de justiça. Tornam-se necessários o aprofundamento de pesquisas na área e o investimento na formação dos professores para que possam compreender a importância dessa temática tanto para formação ética e moral dos alunos como para propiciar seu desempenho acadêmico. / This thesis was developed in the Graduate Program in Education of FCT / UNESP. The research investigated the relationships between sociomoral environment of two classes in different public schools: one school with a good record of performance (school A) and one with a poor record of performance (School B), according to the scores obtained in the Education Development Index of the State of São Paulo (IDESP). In these schools, the sociomoral environment and the level of social perspective in moral judgment of the students were evaluated. The sample was composed of students and teachers two classes the fifth year of elementary school. To evaluate the sociomoral environment, we applied a questionnaire on school climate and made observations the daily life of the school. The level of social perspective in students about moral judgments was evaluated through nine stories, in the form of problem situations, involving justice value. The questions that guided the research were: To what extent does the sociomoral environment of the school provide a better scholastic performance of the students? What factors of the sociomoral environment could improve this good school performance of the students? Do students who maintain a good school performance, in the sense of good school grades, also have a more decentralized social perspective in their moral judgments? The sociomoral environment of the class in school A was characterized as prone to cooperation and in class B as a coercive tendency (according to the criteria used in the research). In the national and international literature, studies show that there is a positive relationship between the sociomoral environment of the school, especially the educational climate, and the academic performance of the students. In this research, this relationship was also confirmed. School A was more favorable to student learning by providing a more harmonic environment, with few cases of violence and hostile relationships. The professionals showed commitment to the education of the students and had A high expectation regarding learning; The rules were known by all, the students could question teacher’s about doubts about the content and were instructed in relation to the studies; school A used personal treatment. The students were more satisfied with the school A, with their colleagues, and with the professionals compared to students in school B. In contrast, school B, rules and governing relations rules were not debated or unknown to most Students; Violence, incivility and indiscipline were part of the students' daily life and were treated as "natural." Conflicts were mistakenly dealt with either because they were ignored or because expiatory sanctions were applied without involving processes such as dialogue or the search for reparation. Students' perceptions of school and teacher justice were more positive in school A compared to school B. In moral judgment about justice stories we found that children living in a more democratic / cooperative environment (School A) tend to give more pro-values answers in their judgments, they tended to base themselves on conventional social norms, collective contracts, the need to use dialogue to resolve conflicts, or on values considered universalizable. At school B, the answers were based on countervalue and pro-value in an individualistic or egocentric perspective or centered on group relationships and more conventional social norms. Therefore, we found that a cooperative / democratic sociomoral environment in the school, influences students' academic performance, and also their development in social perspectives, where they make judgments about justice. It is necessary to deepen research in the area and invest in the training of teachers, so that they can understand the importance of this subject, both for ethical and moral formation of students, and to promote their academic performance.

This bachelor thesis aim to highlight the values that form the basis for the formulation of the municipal local activity support to sports clubs. Key questions was, what are the criteria for the distribution of support, what are the conditions for the support in the municipalities, and what thoughts on development of the local sports club are behind these criteria. The study is based on one policy document from each municipality and 15 interviews that revealed a large spread in mindset and resources between the municipalities, but also similarities in the supports criteria and evaluation work. 14 out of 15 municipalities distribute the support, but the conditions are different. One interesting result the study shows is how little some municipalities really know about the money that goes out to the clubs. The conclusion this study shows is that, there is a lack of knowledge of those from the municipality responsible for supporting sport clubs.

Foram selecionados alunos de diferentes idades e diferentes séries de uma Escola Estadual de Londrina ¿ PR, organizados em 8 duplas sendo 2 da 1ª série, 2 da 3ª série, 2 da 5ª série e 2 da 7ª do ensino fundamental, totalizando 16 participantes. A coleta de dados foi realizada em sete sessões assim distribuídas: três sessões de aprendizagem do jogo Xadrez Simplificado; sessões avaliativas das condutas empregadas no jogo e em situações de jogo simuladas no tabuleiro e uma sessão para aplicação da prova piagetiana ¿O Relacionamento das Perspectivas¿ e uma sessão para aplicação de duas situações-problema propostas para verificar os níveis de Tomada de Perspectiva Social. Embasados no referencial teórico piagetiano e na compreensão de Selman sobre a perspectiva social, os dados foram analisados segundo categorias da dialética construtiva discutida por Piaget para avaliar as condutas apresentadas pelos participantes no jogo e nos níveis de Tomada de Perspectiva Social, analisados por Selman. Os resultados obtidos apontaram que o jogo Xadrez Simplificado permitiu compreender a interdependência entre as condutas apresentadas pelos participantes no jogo, o desenvolvimento da perspectiva espacial e os níveis de Tomada de Perspectiva Social em relações construtivas e integrativas. Indicaram também o jogo de regras Xadrez Simplificado como recurso possível para observar essas relações que revelam a operatoriedade crescente aplicada no jogo, indicando o desenvolvimento das condutas desde o egocentrismo e indiferenciação da perspectiva, até a reciprocidade mútua, tanto no que diz respeito à perspectiva espacial, quanto social, em escolares / Abstract: This descriptive qualitative research, has the object of studying the conduct of pupils in the game of Simplified Chess, relating it to the coordination of spacial coordination and to the Social Perspective Taking. The sixteen participants of different age from a state school in Londrina, Brazil were taken organized in eight pairs, being two from the first grade, two from the third grade, two from the fifth grade and two from the seventh grade of the elementary school. The data was collected in seven different sessions, as follows: three sessions for the learning of the Simplified Chess game; evaluation sessions of the conduct applied in the game and on-board simulated situations; and one session for the application of the Piagetian proof ¿The Relation of the Perspectives¿ and one session for the application of the two problem-solving situations aiming at verifying the levels of the Social Perspective Taking. Based on the Piagetian theoretical reference and on the comprehension of Selman about the Social Perspective, the data were analyzed according to constructive dialectics discussed by Piaget in order to evaluate the conducts presented by the participants in the game and in the levels of the Social Perspective Taking, analyzed by Selman. The results have shown that the Simplified Chess game allowed a comprehension of the interdependence among the conducts presented by the participants, the development of the spacial perspective and the levels of the Social Perspective Taking in constructive and integrative relations. Besides, they have also shown that the game of rules Simplified Chess can be used as a tool to observe these relations, revealing the growing operationality applied in the game and indicating the development of conducts from the egocentrism and nondifferentiation of the perspective to the mutual reciprocity, both in relation to the spacial and social perspective in pupils / Doutorado / Psicologia, Desenvolvimento Humano e Educação / Doutor em Educação

How people learn about their practices is the subject of study by organizational learning (AO), which appears in the literature from two perspectives: technical and other social perspective. For this research, the social perspective was strengthened by considering learning as an emergent phenomenon of social interactions as a social construction of the human condition. Specifically, a social practice perspective of understanding of the organizational learning process from which emerges the notion of communities of practice. The librarian practice is potentially focused on the skills and techniques that professional mediators. The literature points to the need for closer relations between the librarian and the teacher. We opted for the Participant Research as methodology, which revealed through a workshop on good practices with librarians, and semi-structured interviews with script with teachers, methodological and political importance of the knowledge generated. There is evidence that what Pedro Demo (2004) calls for more decisive "comparative advantage" of PP, since profound changes necessarily involve both the ability to think about alternative interventions from the perspective of the subject (construction of historical autonomy ). That meant admitting that political and ideological implications stem from a practice historically made by teachers and librarians in the school environment, even though this practice has not been based on doing and learning collective. The awareness of community, more specifically the importance of a collective practice was spontaneous and raised the subject when performing the search. The sharpness with that consciousness appears as a search result has been an encouragement to the researcher. / O objetivo desta pesquisa ? descrever como as pr?ticas dos bibliotec?rios refletem sua aprendizagem coletiva e propiciam nos docentes a pr?tica de pesquisar para ensinar. Como as pessoas aprendem sobre suas pr?ticas ? tema de estudo por parte da aprendizagem organizacional (AO), que aparece na literatura sob duas perspectivas: uma perspectiva t?cnica e outra social. Para esta pesquisa, a perspectiva social ganhou ?nfase por se considerar a aprendizagem como fen?meno emergente das intera??es sociais, como uma constru??o social da condi??o humana. Especificamente, numa perspectiva sociopr?tica de compreens?o do processo de aprendizagem organizacional da qual emerge a no??o de comunidades de pr?tica. A pr?tica bibliotec?ria se revela potencialmente focada nas habilidades t?cnicas e mediadoras desse profissional. A literatura aponta para a necessidade de estreitamento nas rela??es entre o bibliotec?rio e o docente. Optou-se pela Pesquisa Participante como metodologia, a qual revelou por meio de uma oficina de boas pr?ticas com os bibliotec?rios, e de entrevistas semi estruturada com roteiro com os docentes, a import?ncia metodol?gica e pol?tica do conhecimento gerado. H? que se evidenciar o que Pedro Demo (2004) denomina de ?vantagem comparativa? mais decisiva da PP, uma vez que mudan?as profundas implicam, necessariamente, tanto o saber pensar quanto as interven??es alternativas a partir da ?tica do sujeito (constru??o da autonomia hist?rica). Isso significou admitir que implica??es pol?ticas e ideol?gicas decorrem de uma pr?tica historicamente constru?da por docentes e bibliotec?rios no ambiente escolar, mesmo que esta pr?tica ainda n?o tenha sido fundamentada no fazer e aprender coletivo. A tomada de consci?ncia de coletividade, mais especificamente da import?ncia de uma pr?tica coletiva foi espont?nea e suscitada nos sujeitos ao se realizar a pesquisa. A nitidez com que essa consci?ncia aparece como resultado da pesquisa foi um alento para a pesquisadora

Att det i lagstiftningen inte finns en tydlig definition av vad skälig levnadsnivå är, medför bland annat en risk att behov av stöd för äldre bedöms på olika grunder. Syftet med studien är att undersöka biståndsbedömningar kring äldre i olika kommuner i Mellansverige för att se om det finns likheter och skillnader. Studien synliggör vilka bedömningsgrunder biståndshandläggare har samt fångar eventuella samband mellan biståndsbedömning och olika faktorer, till exempel arbetslivserfarenhet och kommun. Detta undersöktes genom en enkätstudie och analyser gjordes sedan i dataprogrammet IBM SPSS Statistics. De teoretiska utgångspunkterna för studien var handlingsutrymme, organisatorisk struktur, behovstolkning och åldrande. En av studiens slutsatser är att arbetslivserfarenheten är en individuell faktor som kan tänkas påverka tolkningen av vad skälig levnadsnivå faktiskt innebär, och att handlingsutrymmet hos dem med längre arbetslivserfarenhet och mer professionell kompetens upplevs begränsat då de upplever sig styrda av kommunala riktlinjer. Vidare är en slutsats att det finns skillnader i hur ofta biståndshandläggare beviljade insatsen städ och att detta grundar sig i den rådande politiska diskursen inom kommunen kring äldres behov samt vilket arbetssätt som råder. Studien kan bidra med att utveckla det sociala arbetets praktik till en mer likvärdig biståndsbedömning för de äldre / The fact that there is no clear definition of what a reasonable standard of living is in the legislation entails, among other things, implicates a risk that the need for support for the elderly is assessed on different grounds. The purpose of the study is to examine aid assessments for the elderly in different municipalities in the middle part of Sweden to see if there are similarities and differences. The study presents the basis for assessment aid administrators have and captures possible connections between aid assessment and various factors, for example work experience and municipality. This was investigated by a survey study and analyzes were then made in the computer program IBM SPSS Statistics. The theoretical starting points for the study were room for action, organizational structure, interpretation of needs and aging. One of the study's conclusions is that work experience is an individual factor that can conceivably influence the interpretation of what a reasonable standard of living actually means, and that the room for action of those with longer work experience and more professional competence is felt to be limited when they feel governed by municipal guidelines. Furthermore, a conclusion is that there are differences in how often aid administrators grant the cleaning contribution and that this is based on the prevailing political discourse around the needs of the elderly within the municipality and the working method that prevails. The study can contribute to developing the practice of social work towards a more equal assistance assessment for the elderly

This study examines high school students' experience of a political role play in social studies. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate which abilities role-playing games develop for students and through this contribute to the social studies didactic research of experience-based teaching that reflects reality. The ambition of the thesis is to understand whether the effects of role-playing as a teaching method for the learning of political skills are experienced as useful for their role as citizens. Through a digital survey, the students in this study answer questions about their perceived development of their political self-confidence, their political abilities and whether the role-play motivates effort, which in turn answers the question of whether political role-play in social studies is effective for students' self-governance in society. The result shows that the political role-play has beneficial effects for most of the surveyed students development of their political abilities. The students in the study feel that their political self-confidence has increased and that the teaching has benefited their understanding of dissenting views. The result also shows that large parts of the student group have made an effort, which shows that they experience the effects of the teaching as useful in their future role as citizens. / Denna studie undersöker gymnasieelevers upplevelse av ett politiskt rollspel i samhällskunskap. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka förmågor rollspel utvecklar för elever för att bidra till den samhällskunskapsdidaktiska forskningen av upplevelsebaserad undervisning som speglar verkligheten. Ambitionen för uppsatsen är att förstå om effekterna av rollspel som undervisningsmetod för lärandet av politiskt förmågor upplevs som nyttiga för sin roll som medborgare. Genom en digital enkät svarar eleverna i denna studie på frågor om sin upplevda kunskapsutveckling av sin politiskt självtillit, sina politiska förmågor och om rollspelet motiverar till ansträngning, som i sin tur ger svar på frågan om politiskt rollspel i samhällskunskap är effektfullt för elevers självstyrning i samhället. Resultatet visar att det politiska rollspelet har fördelaktiga effekter för de flesta av de tillfrågade eleverna i sin utveckling av politiska förmågor. Eleverna i studien upplever att deras politiska självtillit har ökat och att undervisningen har gynnat deras förståelse för oliktänkande åsikter. Resultatet visar även att stora delar av elevgruppen har ansträngt sig vilket visar att de upplever effekterna av undervisningen som nyttiga i sin framtida rollsom medborgare.
