A Performance Study of Marine Education Programs for Teachers in the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium

Li, Kun-Yeng 25 August 2003 (has links)
The purpose of the study is to explore the performance of Marine Education Curriculum in the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium. The study explores the differences between in-service training teachers¡¦ personal characters and the performance of marine education curriculum. The performance includes the 3-dimension framework (cognition, technique, and affection) and integral experiences. Through integrating marine educational related references, observation and questionnaire survey of the teachers who participated in the marine education curriculum in National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium, the researcher analyzes the statistical dates, and the result of the study is as follows: ¢¹.The participative proportion of the teachers is higher under the following characteristics: female, single, teaching in elementary school, 20~25 years old, living in Kaoshiung ,university-educated and practice teacher¡CThe major participative motives of the teachers are broadening views and personal interest¡C ¢ºThe teachers enhance most cognition in the segment of designing conception in marine learning sheet. The teachers enhance more ecology cognition from the Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium in the segment of designing conception, fountainhead ecology, coral grown environment. The teachers enhance less ecology cognition in the segment of marine research apparatus and particular ecological condition. The teachers enhance most technique in the segment of performing commentary skill. The teachers enhance most affection in the segment of marine knowledge acceptability. The most participative handicap of the teachers is the long route to the Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium. The favorite curriculum of the teachers is to tour and visit the marine ecological displays in museum. The teachers most approve that to design marine learning sheet would enhance students¡¦ marine ecological studies. ¢»The marine educational cognition enhancements were influenced by the teachers¡¦ characteristics including sexes, teaching subjects and school regions. The teachers¡¦ participative motives influenced the technique, and affection enhancements. ¢¼The participative handicap of the long route to the Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium is influenced by the teachers¡¦ sexes and school regions. The teachers whose participative motive is tour and rest considered that absences and errands of school administration. The greater parts of the teachers liked to tour and visit the marine ecological displays in museum. The other marine educational favorite curriculums were influenced by the ages, service qualifications, teaching demands and personal activities. The integral agreements were influenced by ages and personal activities. The activity satisfactions were influenced by service qualifications, teaching grades, educational backgrounds and personal activities

Um olhar sobre a educação continuada em Ciências de professores das Séries Iniciais no Estado de São Paulo / A wiew on the science formation of Elementary school teachers in na in service short course. 2009

Tavares, Mari Inez 25 May 2009 (has links)
A presente dissertação insere-se na linha de pesquisa formação continuada de professores. Pretendeu-se analisar o percurso de dois cursos de formação continuada de professores das séries iniciais em ciências que tinham por finalidade construir e discutir o conceito de transformação de materiais, além de favorecer uma reflexão a respeito do ensino de ciências para crianças através da criação de atividades experimentais, além do fortalecimento da autonomia dos professores cursistas. O contexto escolhido foi a utilização de um material didático que possui as suas atividades orientadas pela metodologia construtivista (PROQUIM). Esta investigação realizou-se com o corpo docente das séries iniciais de duas escolas: denominadas respectivamente de escolas \"A\" e \"B\". A primeira localizada na região central da cidade de São Paulo e a segunda localizada na Zona Leste do mesmo município. Ao todo participaram 37 professores. Esta investigação foi dividida em duas partes intimamente ligadas: a primeira abrangendo o convite ao curso de formação continuada, o próprio curso em si e a criação de atividades experimentais para crianças das séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. A segunda envolveu entrevistas com os professores após um ano decorrido o curso de formação. Esta entrevista teve por finalidade verificar se houve influência ou não do curso de formação continuada nas concepções dos professores a respeito do ensino de ciências para crianças que freqüentam as séries iniciais. A metodologia de análise consistiu na análise do conteúdo proposta por Laurence Bardin das respostas dadas às atividades desenvolvidas, à entrevista realizada com alguns professores envolvidos e do texto produzido pelos alunos dos professores entrevistados. Pode-se concluir da investigação que os professores que foram influenciados pelo curso desenvolveram aulas experimentais que envolvia diálogos em pequeno e grandes grupos que também influenciaram as crianças, pois estas não tiveram dificuldade em expressar-se por escrito causas e conseqüências. Já as crianças dos professores que não foram influenciados pelo curso que mantiveram a sua prática docente semelhante àquela de quando se formaram na Habilitação Específica para o Magistério, além da dificuldade de expressar-se por escrito sobre causas e conseqüências, elaboraram o texto como se fosse uma cópia de texto de livro didático. A nossa perspectiva é que no futuro este estudo de caso possa colaborar com ações de formação continuada em Ciências para professores das séries iniciais no que tange à metodologia de curso e na reorganização de livros didáticos de ciências destinados para crianças no que se refere à inclusão de atividades experimentais. / The present study focuses on the in service formation in science of Elementary school teachers. The goal of this work was to unveil the influence of a short course on the teachers practice in classrooms in what regards science teaching to the children. To achieve this goal we employed a constructivist teaching strategy. The public involved in the work was constituted of 27 teachers of two different schools settled in São Paulo city. The investigation involved an in service course and interviews with some of the teachers besides some activities with their students. The data were collected from the sources through content analysis employing the propositions from Laurence Bardin. We conclude that part of the teachers were influenced by the activities developed in the course and a more intensive in service modality coud be more effective.

(Re)ensinando a alfabetizar: um estudo sobre os livros de orientação pedagógica do PNAIC (2012) / (Re)teaching literacy: a study on the pedagogical orientation of books PNAIC (2012)

Barletta, Bárbara Pereira Leme 28 April 2016 (has links)
O estudo aqui apresentado toma como objeto os livros do PNAIC, o Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa, que foram escritos para orientar o trabalho pedagógico de professores já atuantes na rede pública de ensino, junto aos Anos Iniciais da Educação Básica no Brasil. Esses livros compõem uma coleção que reúne 36 textos divididos em 8 grandes temas relacionados à Língua Portuguesa. Trata-se de investigar como esse material ordena docentes em serviço e que, portanto, já são alfabetizadores, quanto a um modo específico de ensinar a ler e escrever. Quando o título da investigação assinala o (re)ensinando a alfabetizar, quer enfatizar justamente essa dimensão de formação continuada que norteia a produção e circulação dos livros do PNAIC. Baseada nas ideias de Roger Chartier acerca dos livros e da leitura, a dissertação examina o processo de produção dos livros em pauta, ou seja, seus objetivos, sua organização e materialização, seu conteúdo, bem como suas condições de escrita e publicação. Esses livros propõem uma forma de (re)invenção da alfabetização aos docentes atuantes do Ciclo de Alfabetização em todo o país, denotando uma aparente defasagem do alunado e uma formação inicial deficitária dos professores, por isso, o destaque na formação em serviço. Assim, os livros do PNAIC operam uma espécie de ordem de seus produtores para os professores. Os entendimentos e proposições da coleção não podem ser confundidos com palavras que são simplesmente reproduzidas ou aceitas. Os livros do PNAIC participam de um processo de leitura, sujeito a diferentes adesões, interpretações ou até mesmo a negações por parte de seus leitores. Entender o que esses impressos trazem é compreender, portanto, parte de um processo que compõe a história da alfabetização no Brasil. / The present study has as object the PNAIC books, the Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa, which were written to guide the educational work already active teachers in public schools, with the Years Basic Education initials in Brazil. These books make up a collection that brings together 36 texts divided into eight major themes related to Portuguese. It is investigating how the material ordered teachers in service and therefore are already literacy, as a specific way of teaching reading and writing. When the title of the research points to the (re) teaching literacy, whether rightly emphasize this dimension of continuing education that guides the production and circulation of PNAIC books. Based on Roger Chartier ideas about books and reading, the dissertation tried to understand this collection and delimit the Literacy ways it proposes to Brazilian schools. These books propose a way to (re) invention of literacy to active teachers of Literacy cycle across the country, indicating an apparent lag of the students and initial training deficit of teachers, so the emphasis on in-service training. Thus, PNAIC books operate a kind of \"order\" of their producers for teachers. Understandings and proposals of the collection can´t be confused with words that are simply reproduced or accepted. The books of PNAIC participate in a process of reading, subject to different accessions, interpretations or even denials by its readers. Understanding what these printed bring understand is therefore part of a process that makes up the history of literacy in Brazil.

Analysis Of Issues Related To Education Of Pre-service Physics Teachers In Turkey

Tam, Mehtap 01 August 2006 (has links) (PDF)
The purpose of this survey is to analyse the issues related to education of pre-service physics teachers in Turkey. After reviewing the related literature, the problems were grouped in three categories / (1) Problems occurred before entering Physics Teacher Education Program, (2) Problems occurred during Physics Teacher Education Program, and (3) Problems occurred after graduation from Physics Teacher Education Program. Three questionnaires / Pre-service Physics Teacher Questionnaire-1 (PPTQ-1), Pre-service Physics Teacher Questionnaire-2 (PPTQ-2), and Lecturers Questionnaire (LQ) were developed to get information about opinions of the pre-service physics teachers and the lecturers on problems of physics teacher education. The research was conducted on 245 the pre-service physics teachers in 5 years, 297 the pre-service physics teachers in 4+1.5 years, and 85 lecturers in Physics Teacher Education Programs in 2005-2006 spring semesters. The data obtained from the administration of the measuring instruments were analysed by using Ms-Excel and SPSS programs. Results of the statistical analyses indicated that the pre-service physics teachers and the lecturers think that / the pre-service physics teachers do not come to 5 years Physics Teacher Education Program willingly and consciously / characteristics which are important and necessary to be a good physics teacher can not be measured with university entrance exam / Physics Teacher Education Programs can not cause the pre-service teachers to gain the efficiencies in physics subject matter knowledge, general pedagogical knowledge, and general knowledge which are determined by Ministry of National Education completely / increasing the period of Physics Teacher Education Program do not supplement better qualified physics teachers in Turkey / quantity and quality of the lecturers in Physics Teacher Education Program are not sufficient / and Public Personnel Selection Exam can not measure whether the pre-service physics teachers have characteristics of a good physics teacher or not.

Elements of Professional Development That Influenced Change in Elementary Teachers' Writing Instruction

Shumway, Jill Brown 09 July 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Teacher quality has been identified as the most crucial factor in raising student achievement. In order for teachers—and consequently their students—to be successful, teachers must participate in life-long career development. For this reason, a great deal of time and resources are spent on professional development. However, professional development for teachers is not always effective. This study was aimed at identifying those elements that led to success in professional development conducted in one rural Utah school district. The study operated within the theoretical framework of Appreciative Inquiry, which consists of collecting evidence by interviewing successful participants to gather stories that reveal what works best in an organization. For this study, four elementary teachers in the district were identified as having made positive changes in their classrooms as a result of participation in the professional development. These teachers were interviewed and their stories were recorded. Then, their stories were analyzed and the following common themes emerged: validation, modeling with children, "doable" practices, reanimation of previously learned content and desire to learn more. These themes were then categorized into two sections that represent instructional strategies used by the presenter and teacher behaviors that were influenced by the identified instructional strategies. While research has identified many elements of quality professional development programs, these additional elements that emerged deserve further investigation. Results may provide useful information when designing professional development that will encourage teachers to take up promoted practices.

Analysis Of Academic Learning Time In Physical Education Classes Of Prospective And In-service Teachers

Yildirim, Ahmet 01 December 2003 (has links) (PDF)
One of the important characteristics of effective teaching is to devote sufficient time to appropriate physical activity in physical education classes. The purpose of this study was to compare teaching effectiveness of prospective and in-service teachers in relation to student behaviors, course content activities and Academic Learning Time in Physical Education (ALT-PE) scores. Participants were 26 prospective and 28 in-service physical education teachers. Forty-minute regular lessons (n=54) of each teacher were video recorded in their natural settings and observed with the ALT-PE observational instrument. Learner involvement behaviors, context levels and ALT-PE scores were compared for two groups of teachers. MANOVA results have shown significant differences in student behaviors and course content activities between the groups. While prospective teachers spent significantly more time with management content, in-service teachers spent significantly more time with warm-up activities. Students in the classes of prospective teachers spent significantly more time with off-task and interim behaviors, but students in the classes of in-service teachers spent significantly more time with on task behaviors. The results, however, indicated no significant differences between the groups in motor appropriate behaviors of students. ANOVA results indicated that students spent 17.9% (for prospective teachers), and 18.7% (for in-service teachers) of total class time with ALT-PE behaviors. It seems fair to suggest that prospective and in-service PE teachers should decrease the time on management, transition, waiting, and theoretical explanations, while allocating more time on physical activity.
