Inkludering är ett begrepp vilket kan antyda individens gemenskap med andra människor, en gemenskap baserad på upplevd ömsesidighet och delaktighet. Inkluderad kan även antyda att någon eller något ingår i en kontext, exempelvis att eleven är en del av gruppen eller att momsen är inkluderad i priset. Beroende på i vilken kontext begreppet används blir betydelsen olika. Inom svensk skolverksamhet ska alla barn erbjudas bildning samt stimuleras till livslångt lärande. Pedagoger inom skolverksamheten ansvarar för barn samt ungas bildning och ytterst ansvarig är rektor för att så sker. Forskning visar att inkludering är komplext inom svensk skolverksamhet och komplexiteten är till viss del utifrån hur pedagoger upplever funktionsnedsättningar och dels utifrån hur prioriteringar görs av rektor. Prioriteringar om budget, utbildning och tid till diskussion mellan pedagoger påverkar utfallet av den inkluderande skolverksamheten. Syftet med denna studie var att öka förståelsen för en grupp pedagogers uppfattning om inkludering i syfte att skapa en djupare förståelse för en inkluderande skolverksamhet. För att uppnå syftet utformades forskningsfrågor om vilken betydelse en grupp pedagoger tillskriver begreppet inkludering och inkluderande verksamhet, hur pedagogerna förhåller sig till sitt uppdrag att arbeta inkluderande i sina olika roller samt vilken betydelse pedagogerna tillskriver de undervisningsstrategier de använder i den dagliga verksamheten. För att besvara studiens frågeställning genomfördes tre gruppintervjuer med pedagoger verksamma inom en inkluderande skolverksamhet. Vid två intervjutillfällen var respondenterna två till antalet och vid en var de tre. Intervjuerna genomfördes med frågor av en öppen karaktär. Resultatet har analyserats med hjälp av denna studies teoretiska ramverk med fokus på inkludering inom svensk skolverksamhet, vad som anses vara ett funktionshinder, en grupp pedagogers undervisningsstrategier i grupper med inkluderade elever samt en skolverksamhets lärande. Studiens resultat visar att rektor har en överhängande betydelse i hur skolverksamheten utformas och i hur en gemensam förståelse om en inkluderande skolverksamhet kan skapas. Dessutom visar resultatet att pedagogens och skolledningens uppfattning om mänskliga rättigheter samt förståelse för funktionsnedsättningar av varierande grad, kan påverka elevens lärande i en inkluderande skolverksamhet. Slutligen visar resultatet att skolledningen i sin tur påverkas av politiska beslut och statliga styrdokument i hur en inkluderande skolverksamhet kan utformas och utvecklas. / Inclusion is a term that can suggest the individual's community with other people, a community based on perceived reciprocity and participation. Included may also indicate that someone or something is included in a context, for example, that the student is included in the group or the VAT is included in the price. Depending on the context used, the meaning becomes different. In Swedish schools all children should be offered education and stimulated to lifelong learning. Educators and the school principal in schools are responsible for children as well as young people's education. Research shows that inclusion is a complex issue in Swedish school arenas, and the complexity is partly based on how educators experience disabilities and partly by how priorities are made by the principal. Priorities on budget, education and time for discussion between educators affect the outcome of the inclusive school activities. The purpose of this study was to increase understanding of a group of educators' perception of inclusion with a view to creating a deeper understanding of inclusive school activities. In order to achieve this purpose, research questions were formulated about the importance that a group of educators attributed to the concept of inclusion and inclusive activities, how educators relate to the commitment to work with inclusion in their different roles and the importance of that educators attribute to the teaching strategies they use in their daily activities. To answer the study's questiona, three group interviews were conducted with educators working in an inclusive school. At two of the interviews, with open questions, the respondents were two in number and at the third they were three. The data has been analysed using the theoretical framework of this study focusing on inclusion in Swedish school. The data deal with issues of what is considered a disability, the pedagogues´ teaching strategies in groups with students with disabilities as well as in terms of a school's organisational learning. The results of the study show that the principal has a crucial role in the design of the school activities in the creation of a common understanding of inclusive school activities. In addition, the result shows that the educator's and the school leadership's perception of human rights and of disabilities can affect to varying degrees student learning in inclusive school activities. Finally, the result shows that the school leadership in turn is influenced by political decisions and policy documents in how an inclusive school activity can be designed and implemented.

During my practical training period I observed that many of the students have a negative attitude against mathematics. I also observed that these students have a difficulty reaching the goals in the subject. In my opinion there are different factors that can be the reason to why these students experiences mathematics as a difficult subject in school. This is the reason why I wanted to find out which factors that lies behind the difficulties and how the pedagogues work to support these students. It is also significant that every single student get their rights to develop a positive attitude against mathematics and that the pedagogue supports the students in their development. The point with this degree project is to find out, with the help of three pedagogues, which factors that could lead to difficulties in mathematics with students. However, I also want to find out how the pedagogues teach out when they come across with students with mathematical problems. The three informants have many years of experience in teaching and they have worked with students in the elementary school for many years. They have also been teaching students with difficulties in mathematics. When I was interviewing the pedagogues I got the chance to give them attendant questions and also be accessory during the interview. The results of my study showed that there are different factors that can lead to difficulties in mathematics with students, but also that there are different kinds of ways to work for the pedagogue with students that have problems with the subject. These factors are emotional blocks, lacking in the teaching, reading- and writing difficulties and difficulties in the language. My study also showed that with the help from the pedagogue, the students can develop a more positive attitude against mathematics, thru social interactions, dialogues, group work and elaborative work.

Research has established a close link between talk and cognition; that talk is central to the meaning-making process and thus to learning science. However, the challenge is shifting teacher pedagogical practices to those that promote meaningful learner talk and mediate substantive engagement with science concepts. Research suggests that long-term school based teacher support programmes do bring about changes in teacher beliefs and classroom practices. My study was part of a five year project to investigate teaching strategies for the implementation of South Africa’s new science curriculum in Soweto high schools. Taking a socio-cultural perspective I sought to understand the use of science talk as a tool for teachers to mediate meaningful engagement with and understanding of high school science. I investigated teacher-learner interactions in three experienced teachers’ classrooms following their participation in the intervention programme. I wanted to understand how they used talk to create dialogic discourse and how meaning making was negotiated within this discourse. Taking a collaborative research approach I used case study methodology to collect and analyse observational data from each teachers’ lessons. Data analysis was informed by Mortimer and Scott’s model for analysing classroom interactions and Toulmin’s Argument Pattern (TAP). My findings indicated that classrooms had become interactive. Although teachers took up a largely authoritative stance there was tendency to a dialogic communicative approach. That is, while traditional IRE discourse persisted, there was significant evidence that teachers created dialogic discourse (eliciting and taking up learners’ ideas). Teachers both opened up and shut down talk, through evaluative and elaborative feedback, respectively. I observed the emergence of spontaneous argumentation in two teachers’ lessons. Argumentation differed from forms reported in literature in two significant ways. First, arguments were co-constructed by the teacher and learners and secondly, an unusual form of argumentation to make sense of conventional science concepts as opposed to the usual argumentation on socio-scientific issues as observed in local South African studies so far. Whereas most argumentation research has focused on the structure of arguments constructed by individual participants, I observed arguments co-constructed collaboratively by several participants. These findings have been published in a peer reviewed journal. A further, unrecorded finding for South Africa was engagement in talk within hybrid spaces, which are combinations of formal scientific ways of talking with context-based and culturally informed forms of talk. Lastly, science talk was enriched in these classrooms by linking it to other forms of engagement, such as reading, writing, practical activities and computer technology. This too has not been reported in South Africa. Some methodological findings emanating from my study included the positive effects of the model adopted by the Project on Implementation of Curriculum Change (ICC Project). The project employed a model of sustained on-site teacher support, systematic teacher-researcher collaboration, co-teaching and modelling of teaching strategies. I also discuss the implications of my findings for teacher professional development as well as for science teacher education in South Africa and further afield.

The presented PhD. thesis deals with effective strategies of forming legal consciousness of upper-secondary school students, and with methods that can be used for developing it. So far, legal scholars have paid only insufficient attention to this topic, even though many law experts have repeatedly pointed out its importance. Moreover, they stress the fact that a more detailed understanding of legal consciousness of citizens and of ways of influencing it can help us better understand how law works within the society. The thesis opens with the theoretical part, which defines the concept of legal consciousness, describes its level captured by the available empirical research and identifies effective strategies, which possess the potential to cultivate legal consciousness of the youth. In the following practical part, the author seeks to verify effectiveness of these strategies by means of student questionnaires, interviews with teachers and observations of their lessons. The theoretical part firstly introduces legal consciousness as the basic concept of the whole thesis. The first chapter presents the understanding of legal consciousness as one of the key terms of every law because it connects the world of law in books with the world of law actually experienced by people on day to day basis.

Para estudar como a teoria labaniana pode contribuir com o trabalho dos profissionais de saúde que atuam ou desejam atuar com as práticas corporais no SUS, conduzi uma pesquisa ação participante em dois equipamentos de saúde: o CECCO Bacuri e a UMT. A investigação, de natureza qualitativa, foi composta por: um campo de experimentação, fundamentado nas orientações para a formação de professores propostas por Rudolf Laban e direcionado à dez sujeitos que ministram as práticas a mais de dois anos. Também foi constituída por por revisão de literatura referente à inserção das práticas corporais no serviço público, à Corêutica, à Eucinética e aos dezesseis temas de movimento; e por entrevistas semiestruturadas e observações sistemáticas. Para chegar aos resultados, extraímos das falas dos participantes e de nossos registros os trechos que fizeram alusão a Laban ou a sua teoria e os analisamos com base no referencial teórico. Tal processo permitiu a identificação de três modos de se conduzir as práticas corporais. São eles: o que se processa pela observação e imitação das diferentes formas e qualidades de movimentos; o acionado através das interações verbais partilhadas por usuários e profissionais de saúde; e o realizado através da diversificação dos procedimentos didáticos, da criatividade e da ludicidade. Por meio de reflexões sobre esses modos mostramos a importância do trabalho em equipe nas ações que visam promover e produzir saúde, registramos que a teoria labaniana potencializou a observação, o reconhecimento e a experimentação do corpo em movimento, que ela auxiliou os participantes a conversarem sobre o que é possível ensinar através das práticas corporais e, a selecionar conteúdos, mobilizar e diversificar estratégias didáticas. Além disso, relatamos discussões que versaram sobre o uso intencional da palavra, sobre as maneiras de se refinar a execução do movimento e sobre o que poderia vir a ser focalizado nas capacitações direcionadas à formação dos profissionais de saúde que atuam com as práticas corporais na atenção básica. Com base nessas nesses registros pudemos verificar a força e o potencial da teoria labaniana, no que se refere, principalmente, ao esclarecimento de conteúdos e estratégias didáticas a serem desenvolvidas nas ações com diferentes modalidades e estilos de práticas corporais. Sendo assim, concluímos que a teoria labaniana atuou justamente na constituição e no aprimoramento do trabalho dos profissionais que participaram desse estudo, de modo a apontarmos para a possibilidade de se investir na difusão desse referencial nos serviços públicos de saúde / To study how Laban\'s theory can contribute to the work of health professionals who work or wish to work with corporal practices in SUS, we conducted a participant action research in two health equipment: CECCO Bacuri and UMT. The research, qualitative in nature, was composed by a field of experimentation, based on guidelines for the training of teachers proposed by Rudolf Laban and directed the ten people who teach the practice to more than two years. It was also composed by literature review concerning the insertion of corporal practices in the public service; by studies of the choreutics, the eucinetics and the sixteen movement themes; by semi-structured interviews and systematic observations. To identify the results, we draw lines of participants and our records the excerpts that alluded to Laban or his theory and analyzed based on the theoretical framework. This process enabled the identification of three driving modes corporal practices. They are: observation and imitation of movement sequences; the quality of verbal interactions processed on professional relationship/user; the diversification of educational procedures, creativity and playfulness. Through the reflections on such modes, we show the importance of teamwork in the actions that aim to promote and produce health. We recorded that the Laban\' theory potentiated the observation, the recognition and the experimentation of the body in motion, it assisted the participants to talk about what is possible to teach through corporal practices and select content, mobilize and diversify educational strategies. In addition, we report discussions that focused on the intentional use of the word, about the ways to refine the exercise and about what could be focused on training directed of health professionals who work with corporal practices in the basic attention. Based on these records we were able to verify the strength and potential of the Laban\' theory, with regard mainly to the clarification of content and teaching strategies developed in the actions with different types and styles of corporal practices. Thus, we conclude that the Laban\' theory acted rightly in the constitution and in the improvement of the work of the professionals who participated in this study, what makes us point to the possibility of investing in the diffusion of this benchmark in public services of health

O presente estudo teve como objetivo perceber de que modo os alunos se comportam frente às ferramentas tecnológicas aliadas ao currículo de geometria e analisar como o conteúdo do currículo do 7º ano do ensino fundamental pode ser inserido como recurso para o aluno e para o professor no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. A partir desses pressupostos, levantou-se a ideia de desenvolver e criar ambientes que pudessem levar o alunado a construir competências e habilidades na área de geometria de modo a experimentar os conceitos que a norteia, tendo como suporte uma abordagem de cunho exploratório e dinâmico com auxílio de oficinas, recorrendo a um ambiente de geometria dinâmica - o GeoGebra. Dessa forma, acredita-se que a recorrência aos ambientes de geometria dinâmica (AGD) proporciona relações investigativas e exploratórias de modo a favorecer ao aluno aquisição de conhecimentos relacionados à geometria de modo a fazer novas descobertas e firmar os conhecimentos prévios de propriedades e relações geométricas. Nesse sentido, pôde-se realizar um questionário para saber o grau de conhecimento dos alunos com relação à tecnologia e a informática dando estrutura e suporte sobre como deveria proceder nas atividades perante o Software GeoGebra. O estudo seguiu uma metodologia qualitativa, quantitativa e interpretativa com observação nas atividades realizadas pelos alunos e no desempenho destes na realização. A recolha de dados foi efetuada em duas turmas de 7.º anos, cujo professor na metade do ano letivo era o investigador e depois, outra professora assumiu, mesmo assim dando continuidade com o estudo e aplicação do projeto. Na recolha de dados foram utilizados a observação de aulas, relato da opinião dos alunos com registos, entrevistas e depoimentos. O estudo foi desenvolvido durante dez meses (de Fevereiro a dezembro de 2015) em aulas onde foram feitas ambientação do Software GeoGebra de modo a facilitar o manuseio e compreensão dos conceitos matemáticos envolvidos. Posteriormente, foram aplicadas atividades de natureza exploratória e investigativa recorrendo a janela do ambiente de geometria dinâmica - GeoGebra. Nesta fase inicial, a maior parte dos alunos manifestaram dificuldades em manusear na janela sendo que ocorreram casos em que o aluno abria ferramentas que não eram necessárias. Nessa etapa, o objetivo principal foi fazer com que os alunos se familiarizassem com o GeoGebra e fizessem construções informais para tirar conclusões próprias e pesquisasse suas regularidades. Os resultados indicaram que os alunos melhoraram significativamente a sua compreensão dos conceitos de geometria plana. Notou-se a evolução significativa nas análises de resultados e, em consequência do trabalho simultâneo com os recursos tecnológicos, as ferramentas informáticas e oficinas de geometria com atividades exploratórias permitiram aos alunos deste estudo ultrapassar algumas das suas dificuldades adquirindo competências e habilidades para formalizar os conceitos prévios e adquiridos em todo o estudo. / This study aimed to understand how the students behave in the face of technological tools combined with the geometry curriculum and analyze how the content of the curriculum of the 7th grade of elementary school can be inserted as a resource for the student and the teacher in the process teaching and learning. Based on these assumptions, we created the idea of developing, creating environments that could lead the student body to build skills, and abilities in the field of geometry in order to experience the concepts that guided, supported an exploratory nature approach and dynamic with aid workshops, using a dynamic geometry environment - GeoGebra. Thus, believed that the recurrence to dynamic geometry environments (AGD) provides investigative and exploratory relationships in order to encourage students to acquire knowledge related to geometry in order to make new discoveries and establish the prior knowledge of geometric properties and relationships. In this sense, it was possible to conduct a survey to know the level of knowledge of students with regard to technology and computer giving structure and support on how it should proceed in the activities before the software GeoGebra. The study followed a qualitative, quantitative and interpretative methodology observation in the activities carried out by students and the performance of the achievement. Data collection performed in two groups of 7 years, which teacher in the middle of the school year was the investigator and later another teacher took over, still continuing with the study and implementation of the project. In data collection were used classroom observation, reporting the opinion of students with records, interviews and testimonials. The study conducted for ten months (from February to December 2015) in classes where they made ambiance of GeoGebra software in order to facilitate handling and understanding of mathematical concepts involved. Subsequently, exploratory and investigative nature activities using environmental window dynamic geometry were applied - GeoGebra. At this early stage, most students expressed difficulties in handling the window and that there were cases in which the student opened tools that were not necessary. At this stage, the main objective was to get the students acquainted with GeoGebra and do informal constructions to draw own conclusions and review research regularities. The results indicated that students significantly improved their understanding of the concepts of plane geometry. It noted the significant progress in the results of analyzes and, because of simultaneous work with technological resources, software tools and geometry workshops with exploration activities allowed the students of this study overcome some of their difficulties acquiring skills and abilities to formalize the concepts and previous acquired throughout the study.

Durante muito tempo o cerne de muitos processos de ensino e aprendizagem têm sido o “aprender a aprender". As mudanças têm sido a característica mais estável ao longo dos tempos e é necessário adequar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem, para desenvolver profissionais melhores. O mercado atual provoca uma valorização de profissionais diferenciados, a aplicação de certas técnicas de gestão moderna exige competências específicas, e estas devem ser estimuladas no ambiente formal de aprendizagem (sala de aula). Nesse trabalho a incorporação da Teoria das Inteligências Múltiplas às estratégias de ensino aula: expositiva, seminário e projeto, dentro do curso de engenharia, tem como objetivo refletir sobre novas possibilidades de ensino que auxiliará o processo de aprendizagem e o desenvolvimento de características pessoais e técnicas necessárias ao profissional em formação. / For a long time the heartwood of the learning and teaching process has been “how people can learn how to learn". Nowadays, the changing process due to economy globalization a high competitive imposed by social changes leads to some adjustments on the learning and teaching process. The stock option available has to be fulfilled by professional with specific and nonconventional capabilities. The present paper deals with those aspects, concerning the engineering teaching process and the new exigencies of performance, and introduces the Multiples Intelligences Theory into the higher education. The Multiples Intelligences Theory is one of the available tools to revitalize the engineering teaching situation by been incorporated into the teaching methods: expositive class, seminars and project, on behalf of the learning process and to the development of personal and technical capability needed by the professional been formed.

A variety of factors influence what teaching strategies an educator uses. I analyze survey responses from algebra teachers in Scotland and Appalachia America to discover how a teacher's perception of these factors, particularly their view of mathematics itself, determines the pedagogical strategies employed in the classroom.

Abstract available in the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education.

Many U.S. adolescents struggle with obesity and a lack of motivation to be healthy and physically active, which affects individual as well as public health. The purpose of this mixed-method study was to evaluate students' motivation to participate in physical education class and better understand the teaching strategies currently used by physical education teachers who participated in an interview and 2 observations. Self-determination theory framed the research questions, which focused on students' intrinsic motivation to participate in physical education class and physical education teachers' use of autonomy supportive teaching strategies. Learning Climate and Basic Need surveys were administered to 6th-8th grade students (n = 261). Analysis of descriptive statistics revealed students felt the strongest fulfillment of relatedness from their teacher (M = 5.6) and autonomy support to be the least (M = 4.6). Overall inferential statistics revealed similar results when teachers were compared. Analysis of variance resulted in no significant differences between the teachers as related to competence, relatedness, autonomy, and perceptions. Qualitative data was coded and revealed similar themes; all data revealed relatedness scores were the highest for all the teachers, and autonomy support was the lowest for all the teachers. Positive social change provides an updated 9-week curriculum plan with new units that have been designed to enhance their motivation and create awareness of lifelong physical activities; autonomy supportive teaching strategies have been incorporated in the curriculum.
