O ensino de projeto arquitetônico é, via de regra, o tronco da estrutura curricular dos cursos de Arquitetura no Brasil. Não obstante, com o passar do tempo, o ensino de projeto se mostra à prova de definições estáticas a respeito de metodologias de ensino para sua prática e aprendizado. São inúmeras as metodologias propostas e em desenvolvimento para o ensino de projeto, pois a elaboração de um projeto envolve a inter-relação entre diversas categorias de conhecimentos e habilidades, que interagem de modo não-linear entre si. Com a revolução digital do exercício profissional de arquitetura, um novo paradigma se apresenta como um particular desafio para as universidades brasileiras: introduzir no currículo do curso metodologias de ensino de projeto arquitetônico estruturadas, de modo articulado com meios e plataformas digitais que exploram as ferramentas computacionais para além do limiar da simples representação gráfica. Analisando o panorama geral, é possível notar que esta prática ainda está em estágio inicial no País (ROMCY, 2017). Segundo Orciuoli, (2009) a arquitetura digital ainda é vista com certa resistência pelas próprias faculdades de arquitetura. Neste sentido, esta dissertação se propõe a pesquisar a implantação de estratégias para o desenvolvimento de projeto utilizando o ambiente digital algorítmico e paramétrico em uma disciplina de projeto arquitetônico, assim como a instrumentalização necessária para a utilização destas ferramentas computacionais Foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa-ação em disciplinas do 4ª semestre da faculdade de arquitetura onde se propuseram exercícios relacionando conteúdos instrumentais às disciplinas de projeto para conectar o conhecimento computacional às estratégias projetuais. Na sequência, foi realizada uma análise sobre a integração entre softwares de desenho em plataforma BIM (Building Information Modelling) e softwares de modelagem algorítmica/paramétrica. Com isso, pretendeu-se fornecer subsídios instrumentais para que os alunos possam explorar estratégias projetuais digitais que utilizassem formas complexas, diminuindo assim os percalços habituais relativos à falta de destreza técnica na ferramenta digital tanto para o raciocínio projetual quanto para a posterior representação gráfica de suas propostas. Ademais foram analisados comparativamente os dados fornecidos pelos alunos antes e depois da implementação da abordagem de projeto digital, a fim de detectar problemas, potencialidades e efetividade da estratégia de ensino proposta. / The teaching of architectural design is commonly the main curricula structure in architectural graduation in Brazil. Even though, over time, project teaching has been difficult to define by static methodologies to teach its practice and learning. In fact, there are lots of methodologies proposed and in development to teach the activity of design. That´s because the design activity involves inter relationships between several knowledge domains and skills that´s interact in a nonlinear way. With the digital revolution of architectural practice, a new paradigm reveals itself as a particular challenge to Brazilians architecture schools: how to introduce, in the course curricula, structured methodologies to architectural design teaching in an articulated manner with digital media that explores computational tools beyond graphic representations boundary. Analyzing the general panorama, it is possible to note that this practice is still in its initial stages in Brazil (ROMCY, 2017). According to Orciuoli, (2009) digital architecture is still seen with some resistance by the architecture faculties themselves. In this sense, this work proposes to study strategies to develop projects using digital algorithmic and parametric media in a discipline of architectural design as well as the knowledge necessary to carry on these computational tools An action research was developed in disciplines of the 4th semester of the architecture faculty where they were proposed exercises relating instrumental disciplines with design disciplines to connect computational knowledge to design strategies. Next was analyzed the integration between a BIM software with a algorithmic/parametric modeling software. To this end, instrumental grants were able to assist people in the development of digital capacities, using the complex forms reducing in this way the usual gaps related to a lack of technical skills on reasoning or drawing with digital tool. Data developed by the students before and after the implementation of the digital design approach was analyzed comparatively in order to detect problems, potentialities and effectiveness of the proposed teaching strategy.

Its locus is the classroom, understood as a place, which synthesize elements proceeding of other instances with different social backgrounds of each one in a permanent transit of the different directions of these same elements and its own educational scenery. The objective is to describe and analysis the interactions in the classroom, to understand the relationship between the interactions undertaking by the students and teachers and the teach-learning process, as well as to understand by which ways their own singular histories participate in the development and learning process of one another. The method undertaken inserts in the paradigm of the quality researched and constitutes in a narrative of the day by day scenes between two classes of elementary school, and started to be built based on observation and audio-recording. The analysis was elaborated through indicatory survey of the senses shared in the interactions, flowing grouping that we call nucleous of shared senses based on the theoretical focus of Gonz?lez Rey for the subjectivity study. This focus was based sustained for the interpretations elaborated during the analyze, flowing a plot which the teachers and students emerged as singular person and sharing senses. In the conclusion, we detached interpretable elements as having more of the shared senses in the two-empiric moments of the research, which led our understanding of the relation between the senses, development and learning. It is possible to say that the senses engendered in the interactions can be understood as more favored or not of the learning process and of the development to depend on by which way teachers and students insure as subjects. This manner seems to be intimacy attached to the possibilities of meaning and senses of these subjects and their ways of facing the obstacles that interpose in the different models of interaction: dealing with their students by their teachers, arbitrate by their duties; dealing with their duties by the students, arbitrate by their teachers; and dealing of the subjects with the others actors in the classroom. / Esta pesquisa versa sobre os sentidos engendrados nas intera??es como favorecedores ou n?o do processo ensino-aprendizagem. Seu locus ? a sala de aula, entendida como espa?o em que se sintetizam elementos de sentido e significa??o procedentes de outras inst?ncias das experi?ncias sociais de seus protagonistas, em um tr?nsito permanente de diferentes sentidos atuais dos sujeitos e dos pr?prios cen?rios educativos. Seu objetivo ? descrever e analisar as intera??es em sala de aula, entender a rela??o entre as intera??es empreendidas pelos alunos e professores e o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, bem como compreender de que forma as hist?rias singulares dos sujeitos participam de seu processo de desenvolvimento e aprendizagem. O m?todo utilizado insere-se no paradigma da pesquisa qualitativa, e constitui-se da narra??o de cenas do cotidiano de duas salas de aula do Ensino Fundamental, constru?das a partir de observa??es e grava??es em ?udio. A an?lise foi elaborada a partir do levantamento de indicadores dos sentidos partilhados nas intera??es, derivando agrupamentos que chamamos de n?cleos de sentidos partilhados, com base no enfoque te?rico de Gonz?lez Rey para o estudo da subjetividade. Tal enfoque constituiu-se enquanto sustenta??o para as interpreta??es formuladas ao longo da an?lise, que desvelou uma trama em que as singularidades de professores e alunos emergem imbricadas e partilham sentidos. Na conclus?o, s?o destacados elementos interpretados como mais significativos dos sentidos partilhados nos dois momentos emp?ricos da pesquisa, que conduziram ? nossa compreens?o da rela??o entre os sentidos, o desenvolvimento e aprendizagem. ? poss?vel dizer que os sentidos engendrados nas intera??es podem ser entendidos como mais favorecedores ou n?o da aprendizagem e do desenvolvimento a depender da maneira pela qual professores e alunos insurgem como sujeitos singulares. Tal maneira parece estar intimamente atrelada ?s possibilidades de significa??o desses sujeitos e ?s suas formas de enfrentamento dos obst?culos que se interp?em nas diferentes modalidades de intera??o lida das professoras com seus alunos, mediada pela tarefa; lida dos alunos com a tarefa, mediada pelas professoras; e lida dos sujeitos com os demais atores em sala de aula.

Esta dissertação teve como objetivo geral investigar os indíícios do desenvolvimento profissional na atuaçaão de uma professora de muísica iniciante por meio dos gestos profissionais. Como objetivos especííficos, buscou: identificar e caracterizar os gestos profissionais na atuaçaão da professora de muísica iniciante; e compreender o processo de transformaçaão dos gestos do trabalho ou ofíício (sentidos) em gestos profissionais (elementos) singulares e contextuais na atuaçaão da professora de muísica iniciante. Para alcançar esses objetivos, foi adotado como referencial teoírico o conceito de funçaão e profissionalidade docente de Maria do Ceíu Roldaão, que defende a funçaão de ensinar como elemento fundante da profissionalidade, e o modelo de atuaçaão profissional de Anne Jorro, que apresenta os gestos do trabalho ou ofíício, como caracterizadores socialmente construíídos da profissaão docente, e os gestos profissionais, como um alargamento dos gestos do trabalho ou ofíício para uma perspectiva particular e contextual. Por meio desses conceitos, foi desenvolvido um estudo de caso instrumental, com observaçaão e gravaçaão audiovisual de sete aulas de Paloma, a professora escolhida para participar da pesquisa, e oito entrevistas de estimulaçaão de recordaçaão. Os dados coletados passaram por procedimentos de transcriçaão, codificaçaão, categorizaçaão e interpretaçaão, para, entaão, serem explicitados os indíícios de desenvolvimento profissional de Paloma. Como resultado, saão explicitadas as dimensoães (açoães) transformadoras da atuaçaão de Paloma, passando de um sentido para um elemento de atuaçaão, sendo os gestos profissionais expressos por meio dos gestos da linguagem, da encenaçaão do conhecimento, do ajuste na açaão e da eítica. O processo de transformaçaão dos gestos do trabalho ou ofíício em gestos profissionais se daí a partir da experieência adquirida pela professora no contexto de atuaçaão e eí impulsionado pela realizaçaão de treês açoães: flexibilizaçaão de pressupostos anteriores, viveência no ambiente de trabalho e reflexaão sobre a praítica. A conclusaão propoãe o entendimento do desenvolvimento profissional como o processo de aprender a ensinar com duas perspectivas em relaçaão aà atuaçaão docente em sala de aula: a perspectiva interna, que foi descrita como constataçaão desta pesquisa, e a perspectiva externa, que diz respeito a polííticas puíblicas educacionais e aàs condiçoães de trabalho a elas relacionadas. / This MA dissertation aimed at to investigate signs of the professional development in the performance of a beginning music teacher through her professional gestures. More specifically, it aimed at to identify and to characterize the professional gestures in the performance of the beginning music teacher; and to understand how the gestures of work or métier (senses) are transformed into singular and contextual professional gestures (elements) in the performance of the beginning music teacher. The theoretical framework was constituted by the concept of function and teaching professionality, by Maria do Ceíu Roldaão, who claims teaching function is a founding element of professionality, and by the model of professional performance, by Anne Jorro, who presents the gestures of the work or métier, as socially constructed characterizers of the teaching profession, and professional gestures, as an extension of work or métier gestures to a particular and contextual perspective. An instrumental case study was carried out, with data being collected through observation and audiovisual recording of seven classes of Paloma, the music teacher that engaged in the research, and eight recall stimulation interviews. Data collected underwent procedures of transcription, codification, categorization and interpretation, so that the signs of professional development of Paloma could be explained. Results make explicit the transformative dimensions (actions) of Paloma's performance, moving from a meaning to a performance element, being the professional gestures expressed through the gestures of language, the gestures of staging the knowledge, the gestures of adjustment in action and the gestures of ethics. The process of transforming gestures of work or métier into professional gestures is based on the experience acquired by the teacher in the context of her work and is driven by three actions: flexibilization of previous assumptions, living in the work environment and reflection on her practice. The conclusion proposes the understanding of the professional development as the process of learning to teach with two perspectives related to the teaching performance in the classroom: the internal perspective, which was described through the findings of this research, and the external perspective, which concerns educational policies and teachers´ working conditions related to these policies.

Black men make up roughly 2% of the national teaching corps, and as Brockenbrough (2012) reminds us, there are recurring themes within Black Masculinity Studies that are central to bear in mind when looking at the lived and teaching experiences of these Black male teachers. The major one is to recognize and acknowledge the unique psychological, emotional, and spiritual toll of Black male marginality on Black men. “Oft-cited statistics on incarceration, homicide, unemployment, high school dropout, and HIV infection rates, among other chronic blights (Dyson, 1993; Noguera, 2003), illustrate not only the systemic marginality of Black men in American society, but also their distance from patriarchal definitions of manhood that rely on White supremacist and capitalist power to reinforce male domination” (p.5). The intention of this study was to engage with these Black male teachers’ narratives, stories, and commentaries and learn from their life and teaching experiences as Black men. The aim was to gain insight into how they were recruited, how they were supported, and also what their understandings and thoughts are around retaining Black male teachers in the classrooms. This is a small qualitative study is a sample of four Black Male teachers within the 2013 Teach for America Corps in NYC. As Lewis (2006) suggests, many of these Black male teachers consider their role bound to some form of social justice. This inquiry aimed to talk across the struggles and challenges of Black men in the NYC corps of the TFA program and to reach an understanding of their lived and teaching experience, and of the ways ideologies and narratives are negotiated and navigated in schools and classrooms. The questions of inquiry were aimed to provide insight into the recruitment, retention, and professional support of the Black male teacher, both in TFA and outside this program. Participation in this study was limited to Black male educators with one year of elementary or middle school teaching experience, in order to draw on and speak to the greater presence of male teachers at those levels to help teacher preparation programs navigate toward better recruitment processes, and supporting and sustaining more Black males in the classroom.

The purpose of the quality improvement (QI) project was to examine the relationship between amended nursing education concerning diabetes mellitus (DM) Type 2 self-care management incorporating Tune in, Explore, Assist, Communicate, and Honor (TEACH) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) strategies and techniques and the Glycosylated hemoglobin (HgbA1C) of veteran patients with uncontrolled diabetes. The target sample included the 2 licensed practical nurses and 2 registered nurses assigned to 2 primary care teams, and the 10 purposively sampled patients with uncontrolled DM Type 2 from each team. The nurses' competencies were measured through descriptive comparison before and after nursing education implementation using the instrument Patient Education: TEACH for Success Self-Assessment Questionnaire. The nurses' confidence and their perceived importance of the TEACH and MI skills application and skill assessment for promoting health behavior change were tested inferentially with a paired t test before and after nursing education implementation using the instrument Clinician Importance and Confidence Regarding Health Behavior Counseling Questionnaire. The primary care team developed their skills tailored to each patient's needs, considering the guiding principles and premises of the health belief model (HBM). Patients' self-care management knowledge, skills and confidence were improved. The project decreased the elevated HgbA1C of patients measured after the project initiative. The QI project leads to positive social change by decreasing the number of patients with uncontrolled diabetes among the veteran population. The patients and their providers can develop individualized plans of care for diabetes management by educating, redirecting, and evoking behavioral changes in the veteran patients by using a team approach.

Heart failure is a complex heart disease that incapacitates more than 5 million people, is associated with increasing healthcare cost, and remains the leading cause of admission in the United States. As the United States faces increasing financial burden related to readmission of heart failure patients within 30 days of discharge, many healthcare institutions are evaluating interventions to determine the most effective opportunities to improve systems, including nursing practice. The purpose of this doctoral project was to improve readmission rates within 30 days of discharge from an acute care facility through the development and implementation of a standardized, evidence-based, patient-centered discharge education toolkit using the Teach-Back method. Orem's self-care theory and the situation-specific theory of heart failure self-care were utilized as a theoretical framework to inform this doctoral project. The sources of evidence were obtained from the Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure database and through a review of nursing and health-related databases. Descriptive statistics were used to compare the pre- and posteducation session readmission rates. The rate of readmissions occurring within thirty days of discharge pre- and post-educational session retrieved from the GWTG-Heart Failure database were 9.4% and 0.0% respectively. These results showed that this discharge toolkit reduced heart failure 30-days readmission rates. The limitations and strengths of this project will be used to guide further research on heart failure readmission and self-care management. This DNP project will promote positive social change for clinicians, who can use this discharge toolkit to improve self-management in adults with heart failure and thus decrease the costs related to readmission.

Title: ”Welcome to 3a!”– An ethnographic case study on language-focused teaching in a linguistically and culturally heterogenic classroom   The overall aim of this ethnographic case study is to study language-focused teaching in a multicultural Swedish school and a third grade composed of pupils with different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The study focuses on the support of multilingual pupils offered by teachers and educators, on what didactic choices teachers make and what didactical methods are used during reading and writing lessons and on what language-focused teaching strategies the teachers and educators use. The results show that the school staff meet parents and pupils with openness, curious humility and advocate the use of dialogue for effective cooperation between school and home. Different vocational categories and educators with different linguistic and cultural backgrounds collaborate. They work solution-focused and language-oriented. The study shows didactical choices and methods used by teachers and educators and their reflections on the choices and methods. Working with words and texts is an important part of the lessons. Instructions, expressions of learning goals and delivery of working strategies are frequent. A variety of different methods is used, where many questions are asked and individual words or student responses are often repeated. The teachers work with clear frameworks and structure. The proximity and a good relationship with the pupils are valued. Professional cooperation is seen as a success factor and is a common feature of school life. The heterogeneity of the pupil group determines the choice of working methods. Building a Swedish vocabulary while developing knowledge is one of the most important objectives of teaching. The use of the Swedish language dominates the teaching A language-focused teaching strategy the teachers and educators use is the presentation of good examples. Strategies regarding writing, as well as behavioural instructions, were given.  Confirmation and praise were expressed and subject-related questions and clues were given. The class teacher clearly orchestrates the classroom, where subject content and concepts are put in context and parallels are drawn. The class teacher refers to previous lessons and other subjects as well as adjusts her language to the students' linguistic levels. Different forms of visual support are used regularly. Overall, this dissertation highlights: (a) Working at a culturally and linguistically heterogeneous school means a daily balancing act between socialisation and inclusion. Future democratic citizens must be trained, the Swedish school and the subject of language have to be developed, while taking into account the linguistic habits and cultural expectations of the home. Swedish school culture is to be conveyed without emptying the families of previous experiences. (b) Pupils in need of a higher linguistic or knowledge-based challenge need to stand back for the collective structural and linguistic needs for support. Pupils with the greatest need for linguistic compensatory bridges between home and school receive support through multilingual staff directly at school if they belong to one of the language groups represented at the school. (c) In spite of experienced, committed and cooperative staff, L1 education remains a difficult task to complete. L1 education seems to meet many practical organisational and status-related challenges. By employing multilingual staff, alternative solutions were found. L1 education is experienced by several pupils student as being something voluntary and unnecessary.

Daily routines in the home are typically the most common interactions for children with their siblings and parents. When a child exhibits challenging behavior in these routines, it can cause a strain on the family as well as the child's ability to learn a more appropriate behavior. This study examined the feasibility and potential efficacy of an adapted version of the Prevent-Teach- Reinforce (PTR) intervention with three families of young children with developmental disabilities. The school-based PTR manual was adapted for treatment use in a family context. The study assessed the family adherence to the collaboratively developed PTR intervention, family use of the behavior rating scale, social validity, procedural integrity, and child behavior behaviors during the routines. A multiple-baseline design across children was used to examine the impact of the PTR intervention on child behavior within the routine. Results indicated that the PTR interventions were successful in demonstrating an increase in appropriate behaviors and a decrease in challenging behaviors across children. The results also indicated that parents were able to successfully use the behavior rating scale to measure each child's behavior.

This study explores the influence of mentor teachers in the meanings and practices that two elementary preservice teachers adopted about eliciting and using student ideas, while learning to teach science in the university science methods course and in the field placement classroom. Prior research on teacher development has shown that the high-leverage practice of eliciting and using student ideas can support preservice teachers in thinking about common problems of practice. I used four core problems of practice to examine the meanings and practices that preservice teachers adopted in eliciting and using student ideas as they planned, enacted and reflected on methods course assignments in the field placement classroom. Using sociocultural and situative perspectives on learning, I identified two factors that influenced the sense that preservice teachers constructed and the practices that they adopted about eliciting and using student ideas. These factors were mentor teacher's perspectives on learning and goals for student learning. I also examined three mechanisms by which mentor teacher's perspectives and goals influenced preservice teacher meanings and practices about eliciting and using student ideas in instruction, including mentor teacher's classroom practice, the nature and foci of mentor teacher and preservice teacher conversations and mentor teacher's use of preservice teachers' ideas in their conversations about instruction. The results suggest that preservice teachers come to make sense of and use student ideas in their instruction in ways that closely align with those of their mentors. They also indicate that preservice teachers' integration of experiences from different learning-to-teach contexts in making sense of student ideas may be related to the degree of alignment between mentor teachers' perspectives and goals and the perspectives and goals of the science methods course.

E uma das dificuldades encontradas por este professor está em identificar procedimentos de ensino que favoreçam a aprendizagem de seus alunos. Na visão da análise do comportamento o sucesso ou fracasso do ensino está nas relações entre as respostas dos indivíduos envolvidos no processo e as condições nas quais ele ocorre. Neste sentido, o professor tem um papel de destaque por ser quem escolhe o método a ser utilizado. Neste trabalho foram analisados dois procedimentos de ensino comumente utilizados por professores, a apresentação de perguntas e de instruções. Instruções e perguntas são comportamentos verbais, e ambos podem funciona como regra especificando o reforço que modelou a topografia da resposta e colocou-a sob o controle do estímulo e são úteis para resolver a questão da primeira ocorrência da resposta. O presente trabalho apresenta um modelo de investigação de variáveis possivelmente relacionadas ao comportamento de Instruir e Perguntar de uma professora universitária do curso de matemática. Para isto, foram feitas filmagens e análises de seis aulas, procurando observar o que a professora fazia, em que momento, e como os alunos se comportavam diante do fazer da professora, e também qual a ação dela após as respostas dos alunos. As instruções e perguntas foram identificadas. Em seguida, as instruções foram classificadas como: instruções mínimas, instruções que descreviam o antecedente e a resposta e a consequencia e instruções completas. Foram identificados as situações em que as instruções e as perguntas ocorreram e analisadas possíveis relações entre a situação... / Although Brazilian universities are responsible for top-level professionals' education, research development and for carrying out extension activities, professors are rarely prepared to teach. And one of the difficulties faced by professors is to identify teaching procedures that promote learning of their students. At the behavior analysis poitnof view the success or failure of education is on relations between the responses of people involved in the process and the on conditions under which it occurs. So, teachers have a important role because they choose the teaching method that will be used. In this paper two procedures commonly used by teachers in the classroom were examined, the presentation of questions and instructions. Both are verbal behaviors, and can function as a rule by specify the reinforcement that modeled the response topography and placed it under stimulus control. Both are efficient in promoting the first occurrence of the response. This paper presents an investigation model of variables possibly related to Instruct and Ask Question behaviors of a college professor of a mathematics course. To this aim, six classes were filmed and analyzed; trying to see what the professor did, when she did, and how students behave as a consequence, and also how she acts after the students' responses. After Instructions and questions were identified, the instruction were classified as minimal instructions, instructions that described the antecedent and the response, instructions that described the response and consequence or complete instructions. The situation in which the instructions and questions were presented and possibly relations between the antecedent situations and the events subsequent to these instructions or questions were analyzed. It was identified the frequency of students' behaviors subsequent to the asking question ant instructing behaviors of the professor. These ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
