Thesis (MEd (Specialised Education))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / The site for the study is a Western Cape school for industry that became a school of skills in 1999. According to the S.A. National Association for Specialised Education (SANASE) (2001:1), a school of skills, also referred to as a special school, caters for intellectually mildly disabled learners (IMD learners) who are characterised by their poor scholastic abilities in reading, writing and arithmetic skills, low self-esteem, poor self-concept, lack of motivation to study and their inability to cope with academically orientated work. These would be learners who were previously in mainstream schools but whose learning difficulties resulted in their being placed at special schools. These learners pose particular challenges to their school environments, and teachers who work with such special needs learners require specialised training to equip them for their tasks. Teachers at schools of skills, however, generally have no additional training. This study had as focus teachers' understanding of their roles at a school of skills. This study uses an ecosystemic approach within an interpretive research framework to obtain in-depth data on teachers' understanding of the learners' learning needs and the concomitant challenges to classroom learning and their teaching. It also explored teachers' interpretations of their professional positioning amidst the demands posed by an outcomes-based curriculum. The study found that, despite ongoing in-service training initiatives, teachers insist that they need learner-specific guidance as they were incapable of providing suitable learning to their learners. They believe that their learners will need life-long learning support. Such beliefs create barriers to successful learning and can also marginalize learners, preventing them from being part of the mainstream of community life. The study found that the successful implementation of inclusive classroom learning is left largely to teachers' personal initiative. Although some teachers achieved positive results, the majority of teachers at the site failed to provide successful learning. It seems that learning success at schools of skill is dependent on positive teacher expectations of learners learning.

This thesis is concerned with comparing the education of nurses working in intensive care in the Czech and Slovak Republics. In the theoretical part of the thesis there are described the options for nursing education in anaesthesia, resuscitation and intensive care, both in the past and at present. Presented here is the comparison of the Czech and Slovak educational system, regulation of education, their similarities and differences. The aim of the empirical part is to find out what kind of education are nurses working with in the intensive care, what is their motivation to further education and to look at the current possibilities of nursing education in anaesthesia, resuscitation and intensive care in the Slovak and Czech Republic. To obtain the data for answers to these and other questions the questionnaire has been used; specifically the methods of quantitative research. The results are processed in tables and graphs. Keywords: History of nursing education, Specialized education, Anaesthesiology, Resuscitation and Intensive Care, Regulation, Slovak Republic, Czech Republic

IC) at the 1st Medical Faculty of Charles University (1st LF UK) of current and former students towards their motivation and attitudes. It is processed in two parts within the specified topic of the thesis motivation and attitudes of students to study in NMgr. IC at the 1st LF UK. Introduction to the topic is focused on motivation and attitudes to study, qualification, specialization, continuous and higher education, to the list of educational opportunities in the field of intensive care, the competencies and their comparison with nurses and nurses in intensive care. The research is devoted to explore the perception of the education's quality for students and graduates of NMgr. IC at the 1st LF UK in conjunction with other aspects. It contains the empirical quantitative research, which was carried out by an anonymous online questionnaire distributed via e-mail. The obtained data were analyzed by mathematical statistics and are presented in graphs or tables. In the study participated 22 of the 44 students in the 1st and 2nd year and 26 of the 87 surveyed graduates of NMgr. IC at the 1st LF UK. Total research sample consisted of 48 respondents. The research clearly shows that...

Le propos de la thèse est d’étudier le traitement social de la sexualité des personnes désignées comme « handicapées mentales » en Suisse et en France, par le biais d’une enquête qualitative réalisée par entretiens avec des personnes considérées comme « handicapées mentales », des parents, des éducateurs spécialisés et des assistants sexuels.Une première partie étudie les représentations des personnes désignées comme « handicapées mentales » au sujet de la sexualité et met en lumière des formes de leur vie sexuelle, souvent commentée mais qui restait inexplorée. Puis, la deuxième partie porte sur l’analyse des représentations et des pratiques institutionnelles et parentales relatives à l’accompagnement de la sexualité des personnes « handicapées mentales » dans le contexte actuel de la « santé sexuelle ». Enfin, la troisième partie de la thèse est consacrée à l’étude de l’assistance sexuelle telle que cette activité est récemment apparue en Suisse.En mobilisant le handicap mental et la sexualité comme des révélateurs mutuels, cette recherche se donne ainsi pour objectif d’analyser comment les différentes catégories d’acteurs impliqués dans l’accompagnement de la sexualité des personnes « handicapées mentales » co-construisent les normes qui régissent la vie sexuelle de ces dernières. Elle vise à offrir une étude la plus complète possible du traitement social de leur sexualité et des logiques qui le sous-tendent. / The subject of this dissertation is to study the social construction of the sexuality of people labelled as « intellectually disabled » in Switzerland and in France by means of a qualitative survey realized through interviews with persons considered as « intellectually disabled », parents, specialized educators and sexual assistants.A first part deals with the analysis of the representations of persons labelled as « intellectually disabled » regarding sexuality and with bringing to light the forms of their sexual life, often commented but still unexplored. The second part aims at analyzing the institutional and parental representations and practices towards the sexuality of people considered as « intellectually disabled » in the current context of « sexual health ». Finally, the third part of this dissertation studies the recent activity of sexual assistance in Switzerland.By mobilizing intellectual disability and sexuality together, this research aims at analyzing how the different categories of actors implied in accompanying « intellectually disabled» people in their sexuality co-build the norms that govern their sexual life. It aims at proposing a complete study of the social treatment of their sexuality and the logics that underlie them.

L’instruction des ADV (Aveugles et Déficients visuels) sous-tend leur apprentissage et leur intégration aussi bien scolaire que sociale, et est fondée sur des politiques mises en œuvre dans divers pays. En France et dans d’autres pays, sont conçues au profit des ADV des politiques d’intégration dont celles en milieu ouvert et en milieu spécialisé. Les études de terrain en France et en Tunisie montrent, qu’avec de supports et de matériels spécifiques, les ADV ont pu apprendre les mathématiques en concrétisation de ces politiques d’intégration. / Teaching the BVI (Blind and Visually Impaired) is the foundation of their learning and integration in both school and society, and is based on policies implemented in various countries. In France and in other countries, integration policies, in an open and specialized setting, are formed for the BVI. Field studies in France and in Tunisia show that with specific media and materials, the BVI were able to learn Math, thus concretizing these integration policies.

Currently, when it is mentioned school Inclusion, it is possible to evaluate in the theorist studies and also in the national and international laws, two differ tendencies: whole inclusion and on-going services. The specialized educational support service is included in both proposals but there are different nuances. The research has looked to establish a parallel between the concepts that basis those proposals and the specialized educational support service in the city of São Bernardo. It is about a Case Study of ethnographic kind. The research procedures adopted were the participant observation, document analyzes, forms filled and interviews with itinerant teachers invited. That Study was developed at São Bernardo do Campo municipal schools that have resources room and those teachers are habilitated in the mental deficiency special education. Those teachers work for the first four years (fundamental education) of the São Bernardo municipal schools. It was concluded that the specialized support service in São Bernardo do Campo is offered from the perspective of on-going services. In this case, the students from common classrooms, in general, are able to adapt for what have been offered, and do not require structural curricular changes. Itinerant teachers should contribute in order to help the student adaptation for what have been established. Even in this case, it is possible to consider as possibilities for those teachers, their contribution for the access and permanency of students that were historically excluded from the regular education.(AU) / Este trabalho investiga as possibilidades e os limites do serviço de apoio educacional especializado na construção de uma escola inclusiva. Atualmente, ao se falar em inclusão escolar é possível verificar, tanto nas produções teóricas quanto na legislação nacional e internacional, duas tendências divergentes: inclusão total e continuum de serviços. O serviço de apoio educacional especializado está presente nas duas propostas, porém com nuances diferenciadas. A pesquisa empírica buscou estabelecer um paralelo entre as concepções que embasam essas propostas e o serviço de apoio educacional especializado no município estudado. Trata-se de um estudo de caso do tipo etnográfico, em que foram utilizados como instrumentos de pesquisa: observação participante, análise documental, aplicação de questionários e entrevistas semi-estruturadas com professoras itinerantes. Foram convidadas para contribuir com esse estudo, através da resposta aos questionários e participação nas entrevistas, professoras habilitadas em educação especial/deficiência mental, que atuam em sala de recursos nos quatro primeiros anos do ensino fundamental de uma rede municipal. Verificou-se que o serviço de apoio especializado no município estudado é oferecido a partir da perspectiva de um continuum de serviços. Nesse contexto, os alunos matriculados nas classes comuns, geralmente, são aqueles que conseguem, de alguma forma, adaptar-se ao que está posto, não exigindo mudanças na estrutura curricular. Cabe ao professor itinerante contribuir no ajuste do aluno ao que é estabelecido. Apesar dessa constatação é possível ver como possibilidade para a atuação desse profissional, sua contribuição para a o acesso e permanência de alunos que historicamente foram excluídos do ensino regular.

The Multifunctional Resource Rooms are being implemented in public schools throughout Brazil. In order to produce knowledge about this topic, we investigated what specialized teachers who work at Multifunctional Resource Rooms publish on their blogs about the work performed in these rooms, and the experiences related to this service. Blogs were chosen as the data source, as blogs allow the common citizen to be a participative witness, in other words, people can publish texts without an editor. In this perspective, the problem of this study is configured from the following questions: Considering the Public Policies are recent, what have the specialized teachers published about specialized educational service on the internet? What is their perception considering this service? Is it possible to find out the practices of these teachers through blogs? This research aimed to describe and analyze through Text Semiotics what teachers who work with special education publish on their personal blogs and how they construct images of themselves and of the multifunctional resource rooms. The specific objectives were (a) identify on the teacher‟s discourse the experiences which have been evidenced in the educational specialized services; (b) analyze how are the practices directed to the issue of inclusive education in Brazilian education, in multifunctional resource rooms. Tem texts written by Brazilian specialized teachers were analyzed from the discursive level of Text Semiotics. The following categories were analyzed: space described in the text; actors and actants , time of enunciation; figures (concrete elements on the text ) and themes (abstract elements inferred from the figures). It was concluded that the image constructed by these teachers is hero and agents of change of multifunctional resource rooms, as this service depends on their actions to work. From the signs which are on the teacher‟s discourse, it is observed that they have internalized the policies discourse, and the teaching work in multifunctional resource rooms is predominantly focused on the student. / O presente estudo parte da indefinição e do desconhecimento do que tem sido feito pelos professores especializados, em termos de Atendimento Educacional Especializado (AEE), com os estudantes público alvo da educação especial (PAEE) no contexto das salas de recursos multifuncionais (SRM), que estão sendo implantadas nas escolas públicas de todo o Brasil. Para produzir conhecimentos sobre este assunto, buscou-se investigar o que os professores especializados que atuam em SRMs publicam em seus próprios blogs sobre o trabalho realizado nessas salas, e quais são as experiências frente a esse serviço. Os blogs foram escolhidos como fonte de dados, uma vez que permitem que o cidadão comum se coloque como testemunha participativa, ou seja, que publique textos sem a edição e olhar de um editor. Nessa perspectiva, o problema deste estudo se configura a partir dos seguintes questionamentos: Considerando que a Política de Educação Especial é relativamente recente, o que os professores especializados têm divulgado sobre o atendimento educacional especializado na internet? Qual a percepção dos professores frente a esse serviço? Será que por meio dos blogs é possível evidenciar as práticas desses professores? Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral descrever e analisar por meio da Teoria Semiótica do Texto o que os professores da educação especial publicam em seus blogs pessoais e como se constroem as imagens de si e das salas de recursos multifuncionais. Os objetivos específicos foram (a) Identificar no discurso do professor as experiências que têm sido evidenciadas no AEE; (b) analisar como tem se dado as práticas direcionadas para a questão da educação inclusiva na educação brasileira, nas salas de recursos. Para tanto, dez textos escritos por professores especializados de todo o Brasil foram analisados a partir do nível discursivo da Teoria Semiótica do Texto. Foram analisadas as seguintes categorias: espaço referido no texto; atores e actantes; tempo da enunciação; figuras (elementos concretos que revestem o texto) e temas (elementos abstratos e depreendidos a partir das figuras). Concluiu-se que a imagem construída desses professores é a de herói e de agentes transformadores da realidade das SRMs, já que o serviço depende das ações deles para que realmente funcione. A partir das marcas que aparecem no discurso dos professores, observa-se que eles têm se apropriado do discurso da Política Nacional de Educação Inclusiva na Perspectiva da Educação Especial e, também, que o trabalho docente na SRM é predominantemente centrado no aluno.

This study is part of the Research Line Special Education Program Graduate Education. Its guiding question to understand what effects the discourse on assessment are brought into service by Care Specialized Education - AEE, in the conduct of conduct of teachers AEE in Florianópolis - SC. This undertaking investigative inserts into a post-structuralism approach, in which I use the lens Foucault, specifically addressing the concept of governmentality tool. The corpus of empirical research is composed of two groups of materials: documents related to legislation and evaluation reports of students served and followed the AEE, prepared by the teachers care. After the analysis of the laws, I could understand that the evaluation is produced as a possibility for identification, investigation and diagnostic categorization of the subjects of the deviation and as a mechanism of control and regulation of the conduct of the student by the teacher AEE, making students and ways of teaching performance. Then to understand how the assessment is operating driving conduct faculty, through the analysis of 194 evaluation reports produced by the teachers of the AEE in Florianopolis. Recurrences discursive found, indicate three analytical categories: "Need to diagnose / schedule and meet: Strategy driven to lead as a teacher of the AEE", "Need to standardize: teaching practices in front of the student AEE" and "Need convincing: The search for the family as a partner for the state government and learner control deviation in inclusive schools ". It was possible to show that the search for the diagnosis turns on the need for standardization as a strategy to regulate the discipline and control of risk on these subjects deviating from the norm. Finally, we have the embodiment of a relationship 'more government under government' for everyone to be and remain in school, in an order consistent with the neoliberal rationality and security policies related to education, brokered with the discourses of human rights in order to convince everyone in mobilizing for inclusion to happen. / Este estudo insere-se na Linha de Pesquisa de Educação Especial do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação. Tem como questão norteadora compreender quais efeitos dos discursos sobre avaliação são colocados em funcionamento pelo Atendimento Educacional Especializado - AEE, na condução das condutas dos professores do AEE no município de Florianópolis - SC. Tal empreendimento investigativo insere-se em uma abordagem pós-estruturalista, na qual faço uso das lentes foucaultianas, especificamente abordando o conceito ferramenta da governamentalidade. O corpus empírico da pesquisa está composto por dois grupos de materiais: documentos referentes à legislação e relatórios avaliativos dos alunos atendidos e acompanhados no AEE, elaborados pelas professoras do atendimento. Após a análise das legislações, pude compreender que a avaliação é produzida como possibilidade de identificação, investigação e categorização diagnóstica dos sujeitos do desvio e como um mecanismo de controle e regulação da conduta discente pelo professor do AEE, inventando alunos e modos de atuação docente. Em seguida, intentei compreender o modo como a avaliação está operando a condução da conduta docente, por meio da análise de 194 relatórios avaliativos produzidos pelos professores do AEE em Florianópolis. As recorrências discursivas encontradas, indicam três categorias analíticas: Necessidade de diagnosticar/marcar e conhecer: estratégia acionada para se conduzir como docente do AEE , Necessidade de normalizar: as práticas docentes frente ao aluno no AEE e Necessidade de convencimento: A busca pela família como parceira do Estado para o governamento e controle do aluno do desvio na escola inclusiva . Foi possível inferir que a busca pelo diagnóstico coloca em funcionamento a necessidade de normalização como estratégia para a regulação, o disciplinamento e o controle do risco sobre esses sujeitos desviantes da norma. Por fim, temos a materialização de uma relação de mais governo com menos governo‟ para que todos possam estar e permanecer na escola, numa ordem condizente com a racionalidade neoliberal e de seguridade das políticas voltadas à educação, agenciadas com os discursos dos direitos humanos de forma a convencer a todos na mobilização para que a inclusão aconteça.

Ces dix dernières années, l'étude des réseaux petits-mondes a montré une grande stabilité de certaines métriques issues de la théorie des graphes formels. Elle porte sur l'analyse de réseaux traduisant des activités de l'homme : réseaux d'échanges téléphoniques, de connexions aériennes, de navigation sur le Web, de structure des lexiques linguistiques, mais également de réseaux de diffusion des épidémies ou de réseaux de relations sociales. En revanche, peu d'études ont porté sur l'analyse de la dynamique de ces graphes et leur évolution au cours du temps. C'est cette approche que nous développons dans ce document. Nous nous intéressons ici à des graphes obtenus à partir de comptes rendus professionnels de travailleurs sociaux. Ces graphes modélisent les cooccurrences des mots au sein des phrases. Notre analyse porte sur un lexique professionnel et sur l'évolution de son usage sur une période de près de 40 ans. Après avoir constitué notre matériel à partir des textes écrits (environ 1500 pages dactylographiées), ce corpus d'étude a été quantifié, vérifié, homogénéisé et traité orthographiquement sur un mode semi-automatique. Puis ce corpus normalisé a donné lieu à la constitution d'un graphe global pour la période complète, et d'une quarantaine de graphes pour chacune des sous-périodes étudiées. C'est sur ceux-ci que porte l'analyse de la dynamique d'évolution de graphe issu d'un lexique professionnel. Au final, notre travail permet de pointer le paradoxe existant, entre d'une part la contrainte d'écriture liée à un objet qui ne change que très peu dans la nature de sa mission (le travail d'un éducateur de rue) et d'autre part la permissivité du langage oral qui ne cesse d'évoluer (le langage professionnel). Par ailleurs notre approche propose une certaine automatisation pour dégager l'essentiel d'un "dire professionnel" dans un corpus de comptes rendus. / These last ten years, the study of small-world networks indicated a great stability of certain metrics from the theory of informal graphs. It is about the analysis of networks illustrating man's activities : networks of phone conversations, air connections, web browsing, linguistic vocabularies structure, but also epidemics' spreading or social relations networks. However, few studies focused on the analysis of these graphs' dynamics and their evolution over time. It is this approach that we develop in this document. We will take an interest in graphs obtained from professional reports of social workers. These graphs model the cooccurrences of words within sentences. Our analysis focuses on a professional vocabulary and on the evolution of its use in a period of time of almost 40 years. After our material was produced out of written texts (around 1500 typewritten pages), this corpus of studies has been quantified, checked, homogenized and orthographically dealt with on a semi-automatic mode. Then, this normalized corpus led to the formation of a global graph for the entire period, and of around forty graphs for each of the subperiod under study. Thus the analysis of graphs dynamics changes focuses on a professional vocabulary. Finally, our work enables us to highlight the existing paradox, on one hand, between the writing obligation linked to an object which only changes a tiny bit in the nature of its mission (the work of a street educator), and on the other hand, the permissiveness of oral language that keeps evolving/changing (the professional language). Besides, our approach suggests a certain automation to release the crux of a “ professional saying” in a report's corpus.
