Com adaptações no uso e nos programas, podem também apoiar alunos e educadores no ambiente educacional. Estas mudanças podem introduzir novos conceitos e poderosas ferramentas que, ao mesmo tempo, ampliam as possibilidades e a complexidade destes ambientes. No entanto, a limitada capacidade de acesso dos educadores e alunos a estes ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem (AVA), ao contrário do que se pretende, pode ampliar a exclusão cultural e social. Este trabalho propõe a utilização do serviço de mensagens tipo SMS (Short Message Service) para modelar um AVA de baixo custo, uma estrutura que inclua estas comunidades e que, com criatividade, facilite a interação entre alunos, professores e os recursos tecnológicos, dentro e fora da sala de aula, ampliando as atividades colaborativas e as avaliações formativas. Um modelo em que o custo total de propriedade seja viável e de implantação imediata / Abstract: The mobile devices can help human being in several activities. With changes in procedures and softwares those solutions can support students and teachers in educational environment. At the same time, those changes can introduce new concepts and powerfull tools that expand the scope and complexity of those environments. The teacher and students constraints to access those Learning Virtual Environments (LVE), can make the cultural and social exclusion worse, in opposite way that it is supposed to be. This work proposes the use of SMS (Short Message Services) to model a low cost LVE, a specific solution to include those communities and, with creativity, turn it easier to interact students, teachers and the resources, inside and outside the classroom, improving the collaborative activities and formative assessment. A specific model where the TCO (total cost of ownership) will be feasible and can be up and running immediately / Mestrado / Automação / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica

This research sought to ascertain whether differences exist in the levels of student-faculty interactions between students taught by part-time and full-time faculty. Differences in the interactions of students with faculty were examined for four types of content (a) course-related, (b) intellectual, (c) career planning, and (d) informal socializing; for both in-class and out-of-class.

Bakgrunden till studien är att ordförrådet och därmed skolordförrådet är av central betydelse för elevers skolframgång. Studiens syfte är att bidra med kunskap om hur några speciallärare och lärare beskriver att de bedömer, undervisar och utvecklar elevers begreppsbildning och skolordförråd. Syftet är också att beskriva hur några elever berättar att de lär sig nya ord.  Undersökningen utfördes med en kvalitativ ansats i form av enkätundersökningar med elva speciallärare, tio lärare samt fyrtionio elever. Resultaten analyserades med tematisk analys som därefter tolkades mot centrala begrepp inom den sociokulturella teorin, den proximala utvecklingszonen, stöd och scaffolding, mediering, vardagsspråk och skolspråk, innebörd och betydelse samt artefakter. Resultaten kategoriserades i följande teman ”bedömning av elevers skolordförråd”, ”undervisning för utveckling av skolordförråd”, ”elevers hinder och möjligheter” och ”forskning, kompetens och beprövad erfarenhet”. Resultaten pekar på svårigheter att bedöma elevers skolordförråd då det verkar saknas samsyn mellan olika professioner angående skolordförråd samt en brist på kartläggningsmaterial. En slutsats är att ett gemensamt fackspråk kring skolordförrådet skulle öka möjligheterna till samverkan om bedömning och utredning mellan olika yrkesprofessioner. I resultatet återfinns en mängd språkutvecklande metoder och arbetssätt men planerad elevinteraktion samt explicit ordförrådsundervisning verkar vara mindre vanligt förekommande. Slutsatsen är att åtgärder, exempelvis speciallärares handledning behövs för att implementera aktuella forskningsrön i skolan, så att ett vetenskapligt förhållningssätt blir en självklar grund för undervisningen. Resultaten visar att elever upplever okända skolord som svårast att förstå i lärares muntliga språk och enklast att förstå i lärobokens texter. Slutsatsen är att elever behöver ha insikt om vilka skolord de inte förstår och därefter ta reda på skolordens betydelser på eget initiativ genom att fråga läraren. Studiens slutsatser är relevanta för alla delar av speciallärarens uppdrag, undervisning, utveckling och utredning. / The background of this study is that vocabulary and especially school vocabulary play a central role in students' school success. The first aim of the study is to contribute knowledge about how special needs teachers and primary school teachers describe their assessment, teaching and development of students' conceptualisation and school vocabulary. The second aim is to describe the students' perspective of learning new school vocabulary. A survey was carried out with a qualitative approach in the form of surveys with eleven special needs teachers, ten primary school teachers and forty-nine students. Results were analysed with thematic analysis, which was then interpreted against key concepts of sociocultural theory. Concepts used are the proximal development zone, scaffolding, mediating, everyday language and school language, meaning and definition and finally artifacts. Results were categorised into the following themes, "assessment of students' school vocabulary", "teaching for development of school vocabulary", "obstacles and opportunities for students” and "research, qualification and proven experience". The results point to difficulties in assessing students' school vocabulary as there seems to be a lack of consensus between different professions regarding school vocabulary and a lack of mapping material. One conclusion drawn is that a common technical language for different aspects of school vocabulary would increase the possibilities for collaboration on assessment and investigation between different professions. The results include a variety of language development teaching methods, but planned student interaction and explicit school vocabulary teaching seem to be less common. Another conclusion is that measures such as special needs teachers' supervision are needed to implement current research findings in schools so that a scientific approach becomes an obvious basis for teaching. The result shows that students perceive unknown school words most difficult to understand in primary school teachers' oral language and easiest to understand in textbook texts. The third conclusion is that students need to have insight into which school words they do not understand and then find out the meanings of school words on their own initiative by asking the teacher. The conclusions of the study are relevant for all parts of the special needs teacher's assignments, teaching, development and assessment.

Both digital competence and collaborative skills are important for citizens who need to navigate in future societies. This paper is based on an interview study with ten teachers and the aim is to survey how teachers design their teaching to promote collaborative learning methods by using 1:1. Different perspectives on teachers´ design of the collaborative processes in terms of interaction through the digital device or processes that occurred around the device were found. To visualize how teachers operationalize collaborative learning in their pedagogical activities, the model of TPACK in situ was used (Willermark, 2018). In the analysis of the examples that the teachers reproduced based on TPACK in situ, the results of the study show many innovative learning processes where students interact with their tablets and how the teachers design their teaching to interact with different kinds of subject content. By using Learning Design Sequences as an analysis tool, further understanding was reached of how, when and in what way technology supports the collaborative processes and in which phases of learning this happens. In this way, institutional patterns became prominent through the influence of the physical learning environment, which increased the understanding of how around or through 1:1 also can be placed in a spatial context. Finally, Learning Design Sequences were used to identify opportunities and challenges for teachers in designing for collaborative learning through 1:1. The purpose of the study is to investigate how teachers say they design their teaching to promote students’ collaborative work through digital units in school years 1–6 and through the teachers’ statements see what influencing factors, abilities, subject content and technology support a design of digital teaching for the benefit of collaboration and student-to-student interaction in digital arenas. Based on the conclusions the author also presents a didactic model for teachers to take into consideration when designing their pedagogical activities for practising collaborative skills in the 1:1 classroom. / Digital kompetens såväl som kollaborativ förmåga bygger på elementära kunskaper som medborgare kommer att behöva för att kunna navigera i framtida samhällen. Detta är en intervjustudie med tio lärare med syftet att undersöka hur lärare säger sig designa sin undervisning för att arbeta kollaborativt genom användande av 1:1. Det fanns också initialt en avsikt att uppmärksamma olika perspektiv på de kollaborativa processernas utformning i fråga om dels interaktion genom den digitala enheten, dels processer som sker bredvid. För att synliggöra hur lärare operationaliserar ett kollaborativt lärande i den pedagogiska verksamheten användes modellen TPACK in situ (Willermark, 2018). Vid analysen av de exempel som lärarna återgav utifrån TPACK in situ kunde studiens resultat visa på ett flertal innovativa undervisningsprocesser där eleverna arbetar interagerande elev-till-elev med sin lärplatta och hur lärare designar sin undervisning utifrån ämnesinnehåll. Genom att använda Learning Design Sequences som analysverktyg kunde ytterligare förståelse uppnås för hur, när och på vilket sätt tekniken understödjer de kollaborativa processerna och i vilka faser av lärandet detta sker. På så sätt blev institutionella mönster framträdande genom bland annat den fysiska lärmiljöns påverkan vilket ökade förståelsen av hur bredvid eller genom 1:1 kan sättas i en rumslig kontext. Avslutningsvis användes Learning Design Sequences för att identifiera möjligheter och utmaningar för lärare i att designa kollaborativ undervisning genom 1:1. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur lärare säger sig designa sin undervisning för att främja elevernas kollaborativa arbete genom digitala enheter i skolår 1–6 och genom lärarnas utsagor se vilka påverkansfaktorer, förmågor, ämnesinnehåll och teknik som understödjer en design av digital undervisning som främjar kollaboration och elev-till-elev interaktion i digitala arenor. Baserat på undersökningens slutsatser presenterar författaren en didaktisk modell med avsikt att stödja lärare när de designar sin pedagogiska praktik så att den kan utveckla kollaborativa förmågor genom 1:1.

Yes / Background: Digital Health Enterprise Zone (DHEZ) Academic building opened in 2017 with the aim of improving outcomes of people living with long-term conditions. This multi-disciplinary facility houses: physiotherapy and optometry public clinics, health promotion areas, and digital diagnostics. Additionally, a medicines review hub with consultation rooms and teaching space was created for the School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences (SPMS), University of Bradford. Pharmacy students have already successfully performed health-related activities with the public in international literature (Lawrence, 2018). This project explored SPMS academics’ perspectives on the potential use of the facility for the teaching and delivery of health-related activities by pharmacy students.

O objetivo deste trabalho é contribuir com o desenvolvimento das bases teóricometodológicas para a prática do diálogo a distância, a partir de uma concepção dialógica de Educação. Desenvolvemos uma metodologia para oferta de uma disciplina a distância, em que parte de seu conteúdo tratou da formação de tutores para o diálogo virtual. Criamos um software de comunicação, o Tutor em Rede, e o implementamos para a oferta de um serviço de tutoria pela internet. Monitoramos a atuação de licenciandos ao longo de três semestres, cujas atividades e interações realizadas com estudantes de Ensino Médio para esclarecimento de dúvidas de Química formaram nossa base de dados. Observamos o caso de uma estudante de MEQVT, denominada Tutora 7A, durante estágio de tutoria pela internet, de onde selecionamos uma amostra de episódios de interação entre essa tutora e estudantes que procuraram o serviço voluntariamente para realização de nossas análises. Partimos dos estudos socioculturais desenvolvidos por Vigotski, Bakhtin, Wertsch, Wells, para investigar a interação dialógica como alternativa para o diálogo a distância. Deste estudo, sugerimos que a aprendizagem dialógica é uma interessante proposta para subsidiar os processos de construção de problemas e de significados, mas que sua concretização, em serviços de tutoria, depende da criação de estratégias para compartilhar ambos os processos. Uma das estratégias adotadas pelo sujeito de nosso estudo foi o jogo de perguntas e respostas. Esse jogo mostrou-se eficiente para a problematização das dúvidas dos estudantes, na medida em que a tutora conduzia o engajamento dos estudantes ao diálogo, por meio do estabelecimento de empatia, do compartilhamento do processo de construção de idéias e da prevalência da função dialógica do discurso. Ao final, consideramos defesa de uma concepção de aprendizagem dialógica para atividades a distância que supere o paradigma da transmissão, por um da mediação, da interação. / The objective is to contribute to the development of theoretical and methodological bases for the practice of distance dialogue, from a dialogical conception of Education. We have developed a methodology to offer a distance course Metodologia do Ensino de Química Via Telemática (MEQVT) , in which part of its content dealt with the training of tutors for the virtual dialogue. We have created a communication software, the Tutor em Rede, and implemented it to offer a tutoring through the internet. We have observed students´ performance over three semesters, whose activities and interactions held with high school students formed our database. For research purposes, we have observed a student of MEQVT during the tutoring training, from where we have selected a sample of interaction episodes between that tutor and students to perform our analysis. We have taken sociocultural studies developed by Vygotsky, Bakhtin, Wertsch, Wells, as the theoretical basis to investigate the dialogical interaction as an alternative to the distance dialogue. From this study, we suggest that the dialogical learning is an interesting proposal for the processes of problem and meaning construction, but that its achievement in tutoring services, depends on the creation of strategies to share the both processes. One of the strategies adopted by the subject of our study was a game of questions and answers. This game proved to be efficient for the reconstructing the students\' questions, in that the tutor dealed the engagement of students to dialogue, through the establishment of empathy, the sharing of the construction of ideas and the prevalence of the function of the dialogical speech. Finally, we consider to support the dialogical learning concept for distance activities that exceeds the paradigm of \"transmission\" by one of mediation, of interaction.

The fundamental advancement of information technology has given rise to distance education industry hence it has helped to the popularity of distance education among people. However, for employing innovative and advanced tools universities need financial resources. Reaching to these resources is not easy and accessible. Interaction equivalency theorem can be a good solution for overcoming the financial problems but designers are reluctant to utilize it because they think that education quality will decrease due to lack of teacher interaction. This study demonstrated that students’ perception toward interaction equivalency is positive as long as they have high level of interdependency with other students. Without this level of, students are not motivated in order to continue their courses. This study by providing techno-pedagogical design and IS design theory for support of IE helps e-learning practitioners who want to design an acceptable distance educational system with limited financial resources. / Program: Magisterutbildning i informatik

O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi identificar e analisar porque alguns alunos são considerados difíceis e como o professor e a escola se relacionam com eles. Para tanto, partiu-se da indicação por parte da equipe pedagógica de quem eram os alunos difíceis e, através de observações realizadas por dois anos consecutivos na sala de dois estudantes apontados e de entrevistas com suas professoras em cada um desses anos, pretendeu-se discutir as razões deles serem considerados difíceis, bem como analisar como cada professora lidou com tais alunos e que efeitos suas dificuldades lhes causaram. Para mostrar as várias faces do problema, na tentativa de compreender a dificuldade sofrida pelo professor, muitas vezes de forma solitária e culposa, o embasamento teórico desta pesquisa apresenta um diálogo entre diversas matrizes: os aspectos do cotidiano escolar, apresentado por Izabel Galvão e Julio Groppa Aquino; a perspectiva histórico-cultural vygotskiana e suas contribuições para a educação, sobretudo nos trabalhos de Teresa Rego; a psicologia escolar e a discussão sobre os encaminhamentos advindos da queixa desta instituição feita por Aquino, Adriana Machado Marcondes e Marilene Proença Rebello de Souza; o campo da Sociologia da Infância, através de seus principais autores Willian Corsaro e Jens Qvortrup, e a dimensão relacional do ensino, a partir dos estudo de gênero realizados por Marília Pinto de Carvalho. Esse estudo traz, ainda, um histórico da noção de aluno problema, apoiado nas pesquisas de Maria Helena Souza Patto e Ana Laura Godinho de Lima. Como esse fenômeno ocorre indiscriminadamente em escolas públicas e particulares, a hipótese inicial era a de que essa questão não estaria ligada a fatores estruturais ou a métodos didáticos; parecia relacionar-se com aspectos mais sutis e mais profundos da educação escolar como um todo. Ao eleger, como locus da pesquisa empírica, uma escola privada de excelência, cujo trabalho tem amplo reconhecimento, que ministra cursos de formação de professores e que serve de modelo a outras instituições, a hipótese foi confirmada ao constatar-se a presença, nesse cenário aparentemente exemplar, dos mesmos alunos difíceis de quaisquer escolas. A tentativa de compreender por que isso ocorria levou às questões que fundamentaram a discussão realizada neste trabalho, quais sejam: que a dificuldade reside na relação entre professor e aluno; que é fruto de um desencontro entre as expectativas da instituição, impressas no docente, e a singularidade e heterogeneidade do alunado; e que há um envolvimento emocional inquestionável no ensino de crianças, que desmente a ideia corrente de a docência ser um trabalho leve, fácil e pouco exigente. Esta dissertação precisou abordar, ainda, o tema paralelo, mas absolutamente ligado à questão, do deslocamento de responsabilidades por parte dos agentes escolares, através de um grande número de encaminhamentos dos chamados alunos difíceis para profissionais de saúde. Longe de querer estabelecer soluções para as dificuldades da escola e dos professores com esses alunos, intencionou-se localizar e legitimar o problema, buscando-se assim contribuir para uma discussão já abordada em outros trabalhos. / The objective of this research was to identify and analyze why some students are considered \"difficult\" and how the teacher and the school relate to them. To do so, we asked the teaching staff who were the difficult students and through observations made for two consecutive years in the classroom of two of them and interviews with their teachers in each of these years, we intended to discuss the reasons why they were called \"difficult\" and analyze how each teacher dealt with such students and the effects their difficulties have caused on them (teachers) . To show the various facets of the problem, in an attempt to understand the difficulty experienced by the teacher, usually in a solitary and guilty way, the theoretical basis of this research presents a dialogue between various sources: aspects of everyday school life, presented by Izabel Galvão and Julio Groppa Aquino, the historical-cultural Vygotskian and its contributions to education, particularly in the works of Teresa Rego; the Educational and School Psychology, and the discussion about referrals arising from complaints of this institution made by Aquino, Adriana Marcondes Machado and Marilene Proença Rebello de Souza; The Sociology of Childhood, through its principal authors William Corsaro and Jens Qvortrup, and the relational dimension of teaching, from the gender study perspective conducted by Marilia de Carvalho Pinto. This study also brings a historical notion of the problematic student, supported by the research of Maria Helena Souza Patto and Laura Ana Godinho de Lima. As this phenomenon occurs indiscriminately in public and private schools, the initial hypothesis was that this issue would not be linked to structural factors or teaching methods; it seemed to be related to subtler and deeper aspects of school education as a whole. By electing, as a locus of empirical research, a private school of excellence, whose work has been broadly acknowledged and that gives teacher training courses and serves as a model for other institutions, the hypothesis was confirmed as we noticed the presence, in this apparently exemplary scenario, of the same \"difficult\" students of any other schools. The attempt to understand why this occurs has led to questions that underlie the discussion conducted in this dissertation, namely: that the difficulty lies in the relationship between teacher and student, which is the result of a mismatch between the expectations of the institution, printed in the teaching staff, and the uniqueness and diversity of the student body, and that there is an undeniable emotional involvement in teaching children, which contradicts the current idea of teaching being a light, easy and undemanding work. This thesis had also to address the parallel theme, but absolutely linked to the issue, of the displacement of responsibility on the part of school agents, through a large number of referrals of students called \"difficult\" for health professionals. Far from wanting to find solutions to the problems of the school and teachers with these students, the purpose was to locate and legitimize the problem, seeking to contribute to a discussion already addressed in other works.
