But the researches show that the universities nowadays come working of a very limited form in the education of the statistics, making that they leave classrooms as professionals with low preparation about this topic and how to work, therefore the majority of the mathematics professors had crystallized in their practical knows little on statistics and the proposals of the PCN for the education of this topic. The proposal of this work is applied in an inquiry that will involve professor and pupils of average education. Verify if this educator would teach its pupils to solve a list with elaborated problems to understand average; medium; mode; standard deviation; quartiles and graphs as it would proceed after some adjustments considered about the Technician, Mobilized and Available. After the preparation of the professor and the results of this preparation have been implemented in its classroom, as the pupils would answer the list proposal to the test, and in which level of conceitualization considered for Robert (1998), these pupils had surveyed / Os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (1997) incluíram conteúdos de estatística no ensino Fundamental e Médio como parte do programa disciplinar de Matemática, que foi muito importante para que houvesse mudanças no ensino da Estatística, o fato levou as editoras a uma preocupação maior quanto ao ensino deste tópico, assim, passaram incluir a Estatística de uma forma um tanto mais elaborada em seus manuais e o professor de matemática vem refletindo sobre sua prática. Mas as pesquisas mostram que as universidades nos dias de hoje vêm trabalhando de forma muito limitada no ensino da estatística, fazendo que saiam para as salas de aulas profissionais pouco preparados a respeito desse tópico e como trabalhar, pois a maioria dos professores de matemática cristalizaram em sua prática conhecem muito pouco sobre estatística e as propostas dos PCN para o ensino deste tópico. A proposta deste trabalho aplicase a uma investigação que envolverá professor e alunos do ensino médio. Verificar-se este educador ensinaria seus alunos a resolver uma lista com problemas elaborados para compreender média; mediana; moda; desvio padrão; quartis e gráficos como procederia depois de alguns ajustes proposto quanto ao Técnico, Mobilizável e Disponível. Após a preparação do professor e os resultados deste preparo ter sido implementado em sua sala de aula, como os alunos responderiam a lista proposta ao teste, e em qual nível de conceitualização proposto por Robert (1998), estes alunos aferiram

There is a growing demand for places to study and graduate in computer science. Therefore a great effort is needed to improve the quality of educational process adopted by the academic institutions. The aim of this research is to analyze the planning procedures employed by the computer science course of a public school and to propose a new way of teaching, which will certainly reach better results in the teaching and learning process. In order to achieve this, we brought up a conceptual framework (CF) to support the didactic planning process of all the subjects related to the computer science course. In this research it was applied a qualitative approach, enforced nature, in an exploratory purpose. The procedures adopted were based in an experimental research. Fifteen teachers and fifty one students, from that public school, participated in the study. As a result the findings showed the behaving profile of the students, their capacity of learning and their multiple intelligence skills. There is also an analysis of the present scenario taking into consideration the different ways of planning and conducting classes. Based on data from that research it was pointed out the need of improvements in the last two aspects. However, it was prepared the framework of the CF proposed and it was given an example of its use and, finally, experiments using it were carried out by the professors. As positive results came out, the possibility of including the CF as part of class plan in that public school is real / Atualmente, na área acadêmica em computação, enfrentam-se vários desafios, dada sua importância, sua inserção nas demais áreas de conhecimento e os avanços das tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação. É crescente a demanda por novas vagas nas graduações em ciência da computação. Por isso, faz-se necessário investir esforços para obtenção de melhorias na qualidade dos processos de ensino, adotados nas instituições acadêmicas. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar o processo de planejamento de ensino no curso de computação de uma instituição pública e propor novas práticas que ofereçam possíveis melhorias no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Para tal, propôs-se um Framework Conceitual (FC), para apoiar o processo de planejamento de ensino em disciplinas do referido curso. Para a pesquisa foi utilizada uma abordagem qualitativa, de natureza aplicada, com objetivo exploratório. Os procedimentos adotados foram de uma pesquisa experimental. Participaram quinze professores e cinquenta e um alunos da referida instituição. Como resultados apresentam-se: os perfis de temperamentos, os estilos de aprendizagem, as inteligências múltiplas dos alunos e ainda uma análise do cenário atual das formas de planejamento e regência das aulas. A partir dos dados obtidos na pesquisa, foram apontadas necessidades de melhorias nesses dois últimos aspectos. Contudo, elaborou-se a estrutura do FC proposto, demonstrou-se um exemplo de aplicação e, finalmente, foram realizados experimentos com sua aplicação pelos professores. As conclusões apontam para resultados positivos e possibilidades de uso do FC no processo de planejamento de ensino da instituição pesquisada

The research had the following Objectives: a) Identify the facilities and difficulties found out by the teachers-students from the courses of post graduation named: Technologies and Distance Education and DE and the New Technologies ; through the research in the apprenticeship virtual ambience; b) To analyze the leading principles of pedagogic practical linked to the process of the knowledge construction and the way that the drill named: Scientific Research Methodology, contribute to the formation of the searching student meanwhile he or she is the producer of the knowledge. The starting conceptual point was framed by making the interlacement between technology and curriculum, while the literature revision concentrated about the knowledge history, the research as an educative principle and as a scientific principle. The investigation that is characterized by the case study enabled to form the two analyze categories: teaching and learning by searching and autonomy in the conception of Paulo Freire. To explain the collection instruments it was used the analyze of the contents inside the deposition of the twenty-one teachers-students and the eight teachers of the discipline Methodology of Scientific Research and Orientation of the Works to the Course Ending, the purpose of understanding the confrontation and the virtual and real challenges of the research subjects. During the development of the research it was observed that some barriers must be overcome by the students so as by the teachers, among them it is detached: a) Plagiarism; b) Reading lack; c) Understanding of that searching is much more than use Copy and Paste Keys; d) The culture absence that the student learn something, mo matter if it is in the virtual or in the real way; e) Resistance to the new; f) Dialoguing when writing the didactic materials; g) The virtual distance by itself what doesn‟t allow the eye by eye between who learns and who teaches. By ending the present study it was tried to show that educate or learn by searching, specially in DE, it should give to the student, the object of apprenticeship, the development of his or her autonomy supported by an educative proposal that allows the critical reading of the world, in the view of making a social and political construction that leads students and teachers to freedom / O estudo que ora se apresenta, insere-se na linha de pesquisa: Novas Tecnologias em Educação, do Programa de Doutorado em Educação: Currículo da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo. A pesquisa teve como objetivos: a) identificar as facilidades e as dificuldades encontradas pelos professores-alunos dos cursos de pós-graduação em Tecnologias e Educação a Distância e EaD e as Novas Tecnologias , na realização de suas pesquisas nos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem; b) analisar os princípios norteadores de práticas pedagógicas articuladas ao processo de construção do conhecimento e a maneira como a disciplina de Metodologia da Pesquisa Científica contribui para a formação do aluno pesquisador enquanto produtor de conhecimento. O marco conceitual introdutório foi estruturado ao se fazer o entrelaçamento entre tecnologia e currículo, enquanto a revisão da literatura discorreu sobre a história do conhecimento; a pesquisa como princípio educativo e como princípio científico. A investigação que se caracteriza pelo estudo de caso possibilitou que emergissem as categorias de análise educar e aprender pela pesquisa e a autonomia na concepção freireana. Para a interpretação dos instrumentos de coleta, utilizou-se da análise do conteúdo na fala dos vinte e um professores-alunos e oito professores da disciplina de Metodologia da Pesquisa Científica e Orientação de Trabalhos de Conclusão de Curso, a fim de entender os enfrentamentos e os desafios virtuais e reais dos sujeitos da pesquisa. Durante o desenvolvimento desta, observou-se que algumas barreiras precisam ser superadas, tanto por parte dos discentes quanto dos docentes, entre elas: a) plágios; b) deficiência na leitura; c) entendimento de que pesquisar se distancia das teclas do copiar e colar; d) ausência da cultura de que o aluno aprende, quer seja no virtual ou real; e) resistência ao novo; f) dialogicidade na escrita do material didático; g) a própria distância virtual que não permite o focar olho no olho de quem aprende e de quem ensina. Ao finalizar o presente estudo, procurou-se mostrar que o educar e aprender pela pesquisa, especialmente na EaD, deve propiciar ao aluno, sujeito da aprendizagem, o desenvolvimento de sua autonomia sustentada em uma proposta educativa que permita a leitura crítica do mundo, visando um fazer social e político, que conduza educandos e educadores à liberdade

To obtain the desired data, an exploratory, qualitative research was developed using a multiple case study approach, conducted with four Brazilian Privately Owned College Institutions. It was employed investigation techniques in document analysis and focused interviews. The results reveal a new internationalization concept and the identification of some characteristic of this process at the researched universities. Results indicate that all studied institutions have in their strategies the creation and structuring of an international office as a basic condition to start an internationalization process to cope with market demands. Regarding teaching and research, the predominant characteristic is the student formation for his or her professionalization, notwithstanding the reduced focus on research. Mobility is the main theme in the internationalization process; therefore, it characterizes a growing tendency of the periodic half year or annual student international exchange. The researched college institutions diverge in relation to payment and credit validation formats. Another common characteristic is that the four researched universities are still in an initial internationalization process / Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo responder ao seguinte problema de pesquisa: Quais os conceitos e características que identificam o processo de internacionalização em Universidades Brasileiras? Para obtenção dos dados desejados foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória e qualitativa que adotou como estratégia o estudo de caso múltiplo com quatro IES privadas brasileiras. Foram empregadas as técnicas de investigação de análise documental e entrevistas focadas. Os resultados obtidos foram um novo conceito de internacionalização e a identificação de algumas características deste processo nas universidades pesquisadas. As pesquisas indicam que todas as instituições pesquisadas tiveram em sua estratégia a característica de criação e estruturação de um escritório internacional como condição básica para iniciar um processo de internacionalização e adaptação às demandas de mercado. Em relação ao ensino e pesquisa a característica é de preponderância na formação do aluno para atuação profissional e menor foco na pesquisa. A mobilidade é o principal tema nos processos de internacionalização e caracterizam-se por mobilidade discente de periodicidade semestral ou anual, com tendência de crescimento. As IES pesquisadas divergem em relação a forma de validação de créditos e pagamentos. Outra característica comum é que as 04 universidades pesquisadas ainda estão em processo inicial de internacionalização

It presents some considerations about barriers faced by the ISL when dealing with technical and scientific terms related to specific subjects that are not part of their current vocabulary or find no equivalent in sign language and how their academic skills contribute to the erect these obstacles to the process of interpretation. Starting from the author´s experience, graduated in pedagogy, acting as an interpreter of Portuguese/Libras ( acronymous to Brazilian Sign Language) in a subjects for Exact Sciences, this research seeks to broaden perspectives on issues related to the training path of ILS and their work at the educational institutions. Initially it is presented an analysis of articles published in the National Research Congress Proceedings in Translation and Interpretation of Libras and Portuguese with attention to those articles whose theme is the training of ILS. This analysis highlights the lack of discussion of the training activities for acting in science teaching as a way to overcome language barriers found in the act of interpretation. In order to analyze the detachment between the knowledge acquired by the ILS in action during their training (initial or ongoing) and the subjects of the areas of Exact and Natural Sciences, it was proposed a questionnaire answered by the ILS from the cities of Foz do Iguaçu and Cascavel. The analysis of the questionnaire answers it is observed that the academic education of ILS focuses on Humanities courses and that, whether in postgraduate level or other training processes, there is no attention to training for acting in subjects of Exact Sciences. / Esta dissertação tem como tema a formação do Tradutor e Intérprete de Língua de Sinais (TILS) em atuação como mediador da comunicação entre professores e alunos surdos em instituições regulares comuns. Apresenta reflexões sobre as barreiras encontradas pelos TILS quando termos técnicos e científicos relacionados ao conteúdo a ser interpretado não fazem parte de seu vocabulário ou não encontram equivalentes na Língua de Sinais e como a formação do TILS contribui para a edificação destes obstáculos ao processo de interpretação. Partindo da experiência da autora, pedagoga, atuante como intérprete de Libras/Português em um Curso superior da área de Ciências Exatas e Tecnológicas, a pesquisa busca ampliar o olhar para as questões relacionadas à formação do intérprete e sua atuação junto às Instituições de ensino. Para isso apresenta, inicialmente, uma análise de artigos publicados nos Anais do Congresso Nacional de Pesquisas em Tradução e Interpretação de Libras e Língua Portuguesa com atenção àqueles cuja temática é a formação de tradutores e intérpretes de língua de sinais. Esta análise evidencia a falta de discussão sobre a formação para atuação na área de ensino de Ciências como forma de transpor as barreiras linguísticas encontradas no ato da interpretação. No intuito de analisar a distância entre o conhecimento adquirido pelo intérprete em atuação durante sua formação (inicial ou continuada) e os conteúdos das áreas de Ciências Exatas e Naturais, foi construído, a partir da aplicação de questionários aplicados a TILS da cidade de Foz do Iguaçu, um panorama local da formação dos TILS em atuação. Da análise dos questionários observa-se que a formação dos TILS se concentra em cursos da área de Ciências Humanas e que, seja em nível de pós-graduação ou outros processos de capacitação, não há atenção para a formação para atuação em Ciências Exatas.

This thesis proposes that moral development, specifically teaching students to be caring and compassionate, should be a goal of high school education. The research sought evidence of moral education taught explicitly within the public high school system of Canada’s English-speaking provinces using four indicators: graduation requirements, provincial governments’ purposes of education, high school curricula and school division mission statements. Findings reveal that although departments of education and school boards express concern for students’ moral development in educational goals and supplementary programming, there is very little follow-through to the classroom and students. No graduation requirements or courses were found pertaining to moral education. Using key search terms it was also determined that any related curriculum content, embedded in other subjects, constitutes only minor portions of courses. Recommended is an increase in mandatory moral education at the high school level, focusing on interpersonal relations and the ethic of care. / May 2009

According to works’ data of research and periodic literature of Lithuanian and foreign scientist authors about conception and structure of competency and analyzing specifics of soldier’s work. The model of consultant competency evaluation is applied, also, to evaluate the soldier’s competency components missing in their competence are reveled and the most effective foreseen ways of soldier’s basic competence are offered. The results of research were published in scientific conference of students “Junior scientist 2006” and some of the results were applied successfully in Lithuanian grand duke Algirdas’ mechanize infantry battalion for calculation of soldiers training results.

The special learning needs in Initial Teacher Education of international postgraduate students whose own education was linguistically and culturally different to that of New Zealand students are often unacknowledged and under-researched. This qualitative study, based on narrative inquiry, presents case studies of six participants from six different countries, languages and cultures. The findings point to challenges faced by pre-service teacher education students from other languages and cultures. Tensions created by language difficulties, new pedagogies and social and educational cultural differences lead to feelings, at times, of disorientation, heightened “otherness” and unease. Students who are crossing the border between one culture and pedagogical belief system to another require specific support. This study did, however, find evidence of students developing new understandings about teaching and learning. The findings carry implications for the content, delivery and pedagogy of Initial Teacher Education programmes. The introduction of a Foundation Course and a Support Group, modelling of good practice by ITE lecturers using a variety of interactive teaching strategies and targeted reflective practices are suggested. In a time of teacher shortages, changing demographics in schools and the changing nature of university-based ITE it is important that the assumption that one size fits all in ITE all needs to be put aside. From the perspectives of social justice and acceptance of diversity it is timely to pay attention in ITE to the learning of students from other languages and cultures. This study suggests ways of moving towards this goal.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine how children interact with each other and what social positions they assume when using the learning pad. The social positions reffered to is the Owner, the Participant and the Spectator, defined by Ljung Djärf (2004). According to Ljung Djärf (2004), the Owner is defined as the one in control of the mouse and keyboard. The Owner is expected to be in charge of what is happening on the screen. The Participant is typically found on a chair near the computer. The role of the Participant is to support the Owner by suggesting how to proceed regarding the task that is being worked on. The last position is the Spectator, the child also found near the computer passively observing what is taking place on the screen. The position of Spectator may have been self-selected by the child or assigned by the owner. In order to answer the research question of this thesis, an observation study was identified as the appropriate empirical data collecting method. In the analysis of the data, the children was divided into groups based on their level of skills. Children with more skills and knowledge regarding the technology. Children with better reading skills Children with greater skills in using the learning pad and previous experience of the game used during the observations   These skill groups emerged when the results would be analyzed and those affected the resolut.
