Este estudo pesquisou como o processo de desenvolvimento moral de um professor pode influenciar o estabelecimento e o modo como se equilibram as trocas sociais, intelectuais e afetivas no campo moral com seus alunos adolescentes. O principal referencial teórico utilizado foi a Epistemologia Genética, em especial o desenvolvimento moral na obra de Piaget e em seus estudos sociológicos. O tema norteador da pesquisa é a questão da construção da escala de valores nas relações entre professor e alunos. A metodologia adotada define-se como uma pesquisa qualitativa, realizada através do método de estudo de caso múltiplo, em uma escola da rede estadual de Porto Alegre, elegendo como sujeitos professores indicados como significativos em termos de desenvolvimento moral por seus alunos adolescentes na pesquisa anterior. A coleta de dados ocorreu através de duas entrevistas clínicas com cada um dos sujeitos. Os dados foram organizados em casos, buscando investigar características do desenvolvimento dos sujeitos, de suas escalas de valores e das relações com seus alunos. Os resultados obtidos indicam que o processo de desenvolvimento moral do professor influencia seu modo de relacionar-se com os alunos, tornando-o mais ou menos relevante em termos de desenvolvimento moral dos jovens. Esse processo de desenvolvimento inclui relações familiares, formação continuada, reflexões e relações significativas ao longo de sua vida, inclusive com seus alunos. Professores que viveram em seu desenvolvimento relações de autonomia e tiveram a oportunidade de refletir sobre elas e ter um contato mais amplo com o conhecimento tendem a ser mais descentrados e ter o desenvolvimento do aluno como um valor importante, apresentando mais indicadores de que estabelecem relações significativas em termos de desenvolvimento moral com seus alunos. A escala de valores dos professores estudados segue se desenvolvendo através da reflexão sobre sua prática, da relação com os alunos e da formação continuada. Tais dados confirmam os achados da pesquisa anterior, que demonstrou que tais fatores são necessários para que tenhamos professores significativos para o desenvolvimento moral dos adolescentes e os ampliam, possibilitando a compreensão da maneira como estes fatores interferem no modo como se estabelece esta relação. / This study investigated how the process of moral development of a teacher can influence the establishment of social, intellectual and affective exchanges with adolescent students in the moral field and how these exchanges are balanced.

The methodology adopted was defined as a qualitative research, which was conducted at a public state school in Porto Alegre using the method of multiple case study, selecting as subjects teachers who were pointed out as significant in terms of moral development by their adolescent students in the previous research.

The results obtained indicate that the process of moral development of teachers influences their way of relating with students, making teachers more or less relevant in terms of moral development of the adolescents. This process of development includes family relationships, continuous qualification, reflection, and significant relationships throughout life, even with students. Teachers who experience, in their development, relationships of autonomy and who had the opportunity of reflecting about these relationships and having a broader contact with knowledge tend to be more decentered and consider student's development as an important value, showing more indicators that they establish significant relationships in terms of moral development with their students. The scale of values of the analyzed teachers is still under development through reflection on their practice, the relationship with the students, and continuous qualification. Such data confirm and the results of the previous research, which demonstrated that such factors are necessary in order to have significative teachers for the moral development of adolescents, and also expand them, enabling us to understand how these factors interfere with the way the relationship is established. / Este estudio investigó cómo el proceso de desarrollo moral de un profesor puede influenciar el establecimiento y el modo como se equilibran los intercambios sociales, intelectuales y afectivos en el campo moral con sus alumnos adolescentes.

In my opinion, a pupil from a minority represents in our society an upto- date subject. In contemporary school, it is common that not all the children have the same nationality in one classroom. Prior experience, especially with Romany children, is getting extended in contemporary society, since the opening of the borders of the Czech Republic many ethnic groups have come to our territory. These various populations represent also influx of children for whom the school attendance is obligatory and so they attend Czech schools. The fact that a pupil different physically but also by his language, ability of understanding the Czech language, cultural traditions, religion and conviction or his family rear appears in a majority classroom, has an important impact on the work of the teacher. Teacher has to confront heavy tax. School should be a place where we acquire the rules and values of the society and teacher should be that person who pays attention on respecting of these rules and values. Teacher should help his students to understand and to accept their ``strange{\crqq} schoolmate and all his ethnic group, and he should show clearly by his behavior to all pupils that racism and discrimination aren{\crq}t possible in our multicultural society.

Nossa agenda consiste na tarefa de desvelar como o aluno – (a) conceptualiza essa cena escolar, (b) quais suas práticas efetivas e (c) qual a normatização idealizada para esta cena. Para tanto, nossa investigação tem como foco o discurso destes atores, coletado mediante instrumento escrito (questionário) em um cenário específico – uma escola pública do interior de Minas Gerais. Assim, é através do DIZER dos alunos, de seus enunciados lingüísticos presentes em seus discursos que nos propomos a investigar seus papéis dentro da sala de aula. Nossa premissa, sustentada pelo paradigma sociocognitivista, é de que a linguagem é um guia poderoso no processo de busca de desvelamento da forma como os sujeitos concebem, categorizam e vivem experiências sociais, culturais e interacionais. No exercício analítico do discurso, nosso aporte teórico fundamental é a Lingüística Cognitiva, ancorado nos trabalhos de Lakoff (1987, 1999) Processos de categorização e conceptualização; Fillmore (1977, 1982a, 1982b, 2003) Semântica de frames; Hebert H. Clark (1996) A linguagem como forma de ação conjunta, além dos estudos em Antropologia Evolucionista de Tomasello (2003). Nosso propósito fundamental é compreender uma questão educacional; daí a necessidade de uma interpretação dos dados discursivos com vistas ao desvelamento de comportamentos dos sujeitos, enquanto falantes, usuários de práticas lingüísticas interacionais, mas também enquanto sujeitos com necessidades humanas, valores éticos e morais. Nossas conclusões afirmam que, embora haja uma grande contradição entre o discurso sobre as práticas e as reais práticas discentes em sala de aula, o que há é uma não-naturalização das práticas negativas, do conflito existente entre alunos e professores. Frente à tal contradição, faz-se necessária, pois, uma educação sistemática da oralidade nas salas de aula, objetivando a construção de uma ética-cidadã. / The main of this study is a linguistic practice conventionalized as an oral institutional gender – the lesson. Our purpose awakes the way how the student (a) conceptualizes this scholastic scene, what are his effective practices and (c) what is the normatization idealized for this scene. For so much, our investigation deals with these actors’ speech, collected by means of a written task (questionary) in a specific scene – a public school from the interior – Minas Gerais. Because of the students saying, also their linguistic statements which are present in their speeches, we propose to investigate their role in the classroom. Our premise, sustained by sociocognivism paradigm, points out that language is a powerful instrument in the process of how people conceive, categorize and live social, cultural and interacional experiences. In analytic exercise from the speech, our theorical and fundamental support is Cognitive Linguistic, based on Lakoff”s works (1987, 1999) Process of categorization and conceptualization; Fillmore (1977; 1982a; 1982b, 2003) Semantic of frames; Tomasello’s Evolucionist Antropology (2003). Our fundamental aim is to understand an educational question, that is the necessity of an interpretation of the speech considering people’s behavior and their awakening, as speakers users of interactional linguistic with human necessities and ethics and moral values. Our conclusions affirm that although there is a contradiction between the speech and students’ reality in class, what counts is a non-naturalization of negative practices, about the conflict between students and teachers. In spite of this contradiction, it’s necessary a systematic education of the orality in class, in order to construct a ethic-citizen.

La thèse s’attache à rendre compte des processus de construction d’une référence en danse contemporaine à l'école élémentaire. Elle s’appuie sur l’observation de trois cycles d'enseignement au cycle 3 (CE2/CM1/CM2) conduits par des enseignantes aux parcours de formation contrastés. Recherche in situ, l’étude s'inscrit dans une perspective comparatiste. Elle prend appui sur la théorie de l'action conjointe en didactique (Sensevy et Mercier, 2007 ; Schubauer-Leoni et Leutenegger, 2008) et sur la théorie anthropologique du didactique (Chevallard, 1999, 2007) afin de mettre en évidence les liens entre phénomènes de co-construction des savoirs en classe et épistémologie pratique des professeurs observés. Elle mobilise par ailleurs la théorie du mouvement dansé de Laban (1947/2003, 1949/2007) qui offre un cadre conceptuel d’'analyse du savoir danser permettant de caractériser cette épistémologie pratique. Le recours à une méthode dite «clinique/expérimentale» (Leutenegger, 2009) a permis de créer les conditions de la comparaison inter cas, tout en rendant possible des observations de l'ordinaire de l’enseignement dispensé. La confrontation des trois cas met en évidence l'incidence des rapports aux savoirs des professeurs sur la co-construction de la référence en classe. Les principaux résultats attestent d'une forte incidence des rapports au savoir sur les praxéologies didactiques et disciplinaires mobilisées par les trois enseignantes. La mise en évidence des effets de cette épistémologie professionnelle sur le savoir mis à l’étude permet en conclusion d’interroger le champ de la formation. / This thesis attempts to report processes of construction of a contemporary dance reference at primary school. This research is based on observation three teachers having contrasted training in dance : observation during three teaching units in the 3rd, 4th and 5th years (French education system). A comparative perspective is chosen to conduct research – in situ data collection -, through two theories, the Joint Action Theory in didactics (Sensevy and Mercier, 2007 ; Schubauer-Leoni and Leutenegger, 2008) and the Anthropological Theory of Didactics (Chevallard, 1999, 2007). This theorectical position brings into light relations between knowledge coconstrution phenomena during the class and practical epistemology of these teachers. Moreover, the Dance Movement Theory of Laban (1947/2003, 1949/2007) is mobilized, offering an effective framework to analyse «Dance Knowledge» and to define this specific practical epistemology. The choice of the so-called «clinical/experimental» method (Leutenegger, 2009) abled to create conditions of a cross-case comparison and makes possible observations of Ordinary teaching process. The confrontation of these three cases brings into light incidence of «teachers' relations to knowledge» on co-construction of the dance reference in class. The main results give also evidence of a strong incidence of «teachers' relations to knowledge» on the didactic and disciplinary epistemologies differently mobilized by teachers. This thesis reveals effects of this professional epistemology on particular «Dance Knowledge» and allows to extensively question the field of teachers' training.

Pronunciation instruction in the TEFL classroom has long been a neglected area regardless of its importance for the students. The data in the literature shows that teachers are generally not ready to provide pronunciation instruction for a variety of reasons: lack of qualification and training, theoretical and practical knowledge, time and motivation. The present thesis explores the current situation of pronunciation instruction at a private language school in the Czech Republic using of classroom observations and teacher and student surveys. The results confirm the initial hypothesis that pronunciation instruction including pronunciation error correction is nearly non-existent or occurs sporadically in the classroom. Only one out of four teachers (T1) included explicit pronunciation information into his teaching. The only pronunciation error correction technique observed with the four teachers was a recast which proved to be ineffective in most cases. Even though the teachers and students are generally aware of the importance of pronunciation in foreign language acquisition, their individual beliefs and attitudes towards pronunciation learning and teaching greatly differ. Key words: pronunciation, TEFL, explicit instruction, segmental features, suprasegmental features, teacher and student cognition

No. of bitstreams: 1 Valéria Nicolau Paschoal.pdf: 3718463 bytes, checksum: a110ca5d0455634bc6a1de611f2ad18a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-11-22 / This study is characterized as a research-action, resulting from the claim of a school interested in providing the possibilities of perception wideness and a characterization that the teachers have from their students, which many times they are marked by negative and depreciative denotations. It was developed through collaborative and dialogic practices, which were brought to create a space that would enable the improvement of relationships in the scholar environment. According to UNESCO (2016), education must be integrated and humanist through the development of competencies to reach the living in society, becoming a viable way to enable people to respond to the transformations and challenges of present times. The four pillars of education for the 21st century – learn to know, learn to make, learn to be and to live together – they need to be incorporated in the implementation of the educational programs of the schools. The search for a construction of a conversational context organized for the promotion of new types and qualities of connections between teachers-students and students-students evidencing two pillars that represent the social function of a school: which are learning to be and learning to live together, started from the four pillars concept and was based on the social constructionism ideas and on the narrative and collaborative practices. Since this is a research-action, the research made use of procedures which were adapted to each of its four phases including: a free meetings and an interview with the curator; meetings with the teachers; meetings with the parents or with those responsible for the student; workshops of selfknowledge and reflective processes with students and teachers; feedbacks from all participants; and assessment meetings with teachers. The parts who took part of this research are: the curator, six teachers from the 1st to the 5th teaching course, one teacher assistant, ten children (from the age of seven to ten), their parents/or those responsible for them and the school group. The intervention made didn’t intend to find out a new problem and to resolve it, but it did have the proposition of building together with the participants new ways to be and to live together, re-affirming the social function of the school and its commitments with the transformation of the current reality. The narratives generated from this experience, were analyzed according to the social poetics and they were organized, being considered as arresting moments, around four categories: the effects of the collaborative and dialogic practices in the scholar context; considerations about the function of the school and their teachers in the 21st century; the collaborative posture in the implementation of such practices; and the development of the research through the planning of new actions. The application of this model to the scholar context was proved to be viable and useful for the construction of a more agreeable environment encouraging people to be together, mainly for the fact that it talks about values and because it triggers thoughts and attitudes to be reviewed, giving visibility to aspects of the participants’ life that weren’t noticed by them before the application of this experience / Este trabalho caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa-ação, resultante da demanda de uma escola interessada em fornecer possibilidades de ampliação da percepção e descrição que professores têm de seus alunos, muitas vezes marcada por denotações negativas e depreciativas. Desenvolveu-se por meio de práticas colaborativas e dialógicas, desenhadas para criar um espaço que facilitasse a melhoria das relações no ambiente escolar. Segundo a UNESCO (2016), a educação deve ser integrada e humanista pelo desenvolvimento de competências para o viver em sociedade, tornando-se um caminho viável para a formação de pessoas capazes de responderem às transformações e desafios da atualidade. Os quatro pilares da educação para o século XXI – aprender a conhecer, a fazer, a viver juntos e a ser – precisam ser incorporados na implementação dos programas das escolas. A partir desta proposta e baseada nas ideias construcionistas sociais e nas práticas colaborativas e narrativas, buscou-se a construção de um contexto conversacional organizado para a promoção de novos tipos e qualidades de conexões entre professores-alunos e alunos-alunos, evidenciando dois pilares: aprender a viver juntos e aprender a ser. Tratando-se de uma pesquisa-ação, utilizou-se de procedimentos adequados a cada uma das quatro fases que a compõem, incluindo: reunião livre e entrevista com a mantenedora; encontros com professores; reunião com pais e/ou responsáveis; oficinas de autoconhecimento e processos reflexivos com alunos e professores; feedbacks de todos os participantes; e encontros avaliativos com professores. Participaram da pesquisa: a mantenedora, seis professoras do Ensino Fundamental I (1o ao 5o ano), uma auxiliar de sala, dez crianças (de sete a dez anos de idade), seus pais e/ou responsáveis, e a equipe escolar. A intervenção realizada não teve o propósito de descobrir um problema e solucioná-lo, mas de construir juntamente com os participantes, novas possibilidades de ser e de conviver, reafirmando a função social da escola e seu compromisso com a transformação da realidade. As narrativas geradas a partir desta experiência, foram analisadas de acordo com a poética social e organizadas em momentos marcantes em torno de quatro categorias: efeitos da prática colaborativa e dialógica no contexto escolar; considerações sobre a função da escola e dos professores no século XXI; postura colaborativa na implementação de tais práticas; e desdobramentos da pesquisa pelo planejamento de novas ações. A aplicação desse modelo ao contexto escolar mostrou-se viável e útil na construção de um ambiente de convivência mais harmonioso, principalmente por abordar valores e encorajar a revisão de pensamentos e atitudes, dando visibilidade a aspectos de vida dos participantes que não eram percebidos por eles antes desta experiência

Research has shown that interest in science often decreases in the middle-school grades for both boys and girls, but that more boys continue on the science track in high school and college, leading to males dominating the fields of science and engineering in the work place. The interpersonal interaction between teachers and students, as both individuals and as a group, comprises a large part of the classroom learning environment. Though these interactions last only a school year, they can influence student attitudes and achievement in the long term. Past research has suggested that a key factor in improving student achievement and attitudes is to create learning environments which emphasize characteristics that have been found to be linked empirically with achievement and attitudes. The purpose of this study was to use quantitative methods to validate a learning environment questionnaire (Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction, QTI), to investigate outcome-environment associations, and to compare male and female students in terms of their attitudes, classroom environment perceptions and achievement. An attitude scale, based on items from the Test of Science Related Attitudes (TOSRA), and a 48-item eight-scale version of the QTI were administered to 1228 science students in Grades 6, 7 and 8 at one middle school in South Florida. Student achievement was measured using the students’ quarterly (nine-week) science grade. / The results revealed satisfactory internal consistency reliability for the QTI, with alpha reliability coefficients ranging from 0.51 to 0.83 for different scales with the student as the unit of analysis and from 0.54 to 0.96 for class means. For the 10-item attitude scale, the alpha coefficient was above 0.80 for both the student and the class mean as the unit of analysis, demonstrating high internal consistency reliability. Overall, the results of the statistical analyses supported that the QTI questionnaire and the attitude scale are valid and reliable instruments for use with secondary science students in South Florida. A strong relationship was found between student outcomes (attitudes and achievement) and many of the eight QTI scales with either the individual or the class mean as the unit of analysis. For example, students’ attitudes towards science were more positive when teachers exhibited more leadership and understanding behaviors and science achievement was higher when teachers were friendlier and less uncertain. The use of MANOVA tentatively revealed gender differences in students’ perceptions of teacher interpersonal behavior, attitudes towards science, and science achievement. However, the differences between males and females were statistically significant only for the Helping/Friendly, Dissatisfied, and Admonishing scales of the QTI and for achievement. In general, relative to males, female students had more positive perceptions of teacher interpersonal behavior and higher academic achievement.
