Secondary school students are being inadequately prepared for an active understanding of genetic diseases. There is good evidence that students are being graduated out of high school, without even a basic knowledge of the more than two thousand genetic diseases. This work presents this evidence, as well as highlights some of the difficulties and challenges found in the teaching of genetics. This project is aimed at ascertaining how much secondary school level, life science and biology teachers know about genetic diseases. Also, by concentrating on four specific genetic diseases (Cystic Fibrosis; Tay-Sachs Disease; Sickle Cell Anemia; Thalassemia) that are representative of the racial and ethnic distribution in United States secondary schools, this study determines how much and to what degree, teachers are teaching about the subject. Twenty-six life science and biology teachers from the Greater Boston Area, were randomly chosen from the junior and senior high school science teachers that volunteered to participate. All responses from the interview which contained twenty-six questions, were recorded and scored as to accuracy. A Reliability Test was conducted using the process of "test and retest", to determine the test's coefficient of stability. Data was analyzed by a VAX/VMS using the STATA statistical analysis program. This research investigated four questions: (1) Are biology and life science secondary school teachers teaching the basic principles of genetic diseases? (2) Do biology and life science secondary school teachers know the basic principles of genetic diseases? (3) Are biology and life science secondary school teachers teaching the characteristics and mechanisms of the four specific genetic diseases--Cystic Fibrosis; Tay-Sachs Disease; Sickle Cell Anemia; Thalassemia? (4) Do biology and life science secondary school teachers, know and understand the characteristics and mechanisms of the four specific genetic diseases? Using the results of this study, a Genetic Disease Curriculum Strategy Format was developed. The purpose of this teaching manual is: (1) to increase the level of science teachers' knowledge and understanding of genetic diseases; (2) to enhance science teachers' instructional ability; (3) to supplement existing biology and life science curriculum; (4) to assist educators in writing new genetic diseases curriculum.

Objective. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of teaching strategies used by approved clinical instructors (ACI) to facilitate student learning during clinical experiences in athletic training. Design and setting. A qualitative case study design was used to examine the questioning skills of ACIs at an athletic training education program (ATEP). Subjects. Participants consisted of eight ACIs and 24 athletic training students (ATS) affiliated with an ATEP. Measurements. Data consisted of: 23 field observations and field audio recordings, eight interviews with ACIs, and 64 stimulated recall interviews with ATS and ACIs. Data was analyzed through open, axial, and selective coding and coding for process. Cognition level of questions posed by ACIs was analyzed using a Question Classification Framework (Sellappah et al, 1998). Results. Three themes emerged. Theme 1: Approved Clinical Instructors in Athletic Training: training technicians or educating problem-solvers. Theme 2: Creating and nurturing learning relationships to establish enriching clinical learning environments. Theme 3: Cognitive engagement of the learner: active or passive participant. Conclusions. The affective and cognitive tone of the clinical learning environment appears to be related to ACIs beliefs and attitudes, ATS active or passive participation in the experience and the strength of the learning relationship between the ACI and the ATS. ACI selection and utilization of teaching and questioning strategies is related to ACI beliefs and attitudes toward clinical education and the purpose of clinical experiences. ACIs who identify more strongly with ACI as athletic training educator tend to possess student centered teaching strategies that support student exploration and creativity. ACIs that identify more strongly with ACI as service provider tend to possess instructor centered teaching strategies that support student identification and replication of athletic training skills and knowledge. Implications. ACIs use of strategic questioning and student centered teaching strategies appears to be strongly related to the ACI's beliefs and attitudes toward clinical experiences and his or role as an ACI. A shift away from apprenticeship learning environments toward problem-solving learning environments may require a shift in ACI beliefs and attitudes.

As abordagens fenomenológica e hermenêutica foram a inspiração metodológica da pesquisa. O estudo, que ocorreu numa escola da rede pública municipal de Salvador, com professores de 1ª a 8ª série do ensino fundamental, considerou a organização do trabalho pedagógico como elemento atrator de promoção e/ou agravar a saúde do professorado. Compreendo que a ação docente tem algumas especificidades em relação a outras categorias profissionais, discuti o exercício da profissão como uma atividade que demanda certas especificidades das organizações escolares. Entender as estratégias construídas por professores/as exigia uma discussão sobre as adversidades que eles/as enfrentam diante da docência. Essas adversidades podem ser decorrentes das relações construídas no espaço escolar e do conteúdo da ação docente. Sobre as estratégias os/as professores/as as constroem como um recurso que visa, tanto poupar energia e se desgastar menos, como encontrar, de modo criativo alternativas para enfrentar os problemas da escola. A pesquisa aponta para a necessidade de se construir uma organização do trabalho pedagógico que considere a coletividade como intrínseca à educação e à ação docente. Finalizo, destacando que as estratégias defensivas,ou de fuga, levam a uma banalização do processo educativo, enquanto as de enfrentamento ou criativas, representam um esforço no sentido de transformar a adversidade em criatividade, buscando sentido para a atividade pedagógica. / Salvador

Como problema orientador, nos guiamos pela seguinte pergunta: Quais as implicações da precarização do trabalho docente na saúde do professorado do curso de educação física em uma faculdade da Rede Privada do Ensino Superior? Como metodologia, utilizamos a corrente teórica marxista – dialético materialista, por entendermos que os fenômenos estudados não existem de forma isolada, onde se compreende o mundo como um conjunto de processos em que tudo se relaciona e se transforma. Além disso, como procedimentos e instrumentos de coleta de informações utilizamos a análise de documentos, o questionário e as entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Após profunda análise do trabalho de campo, estabelecendo a relação entre o referencial teórico com as informações coletadas, tentamos compreender, interpretar e identificar quais as implicações no engendramento da precarização do trabalho docente e da saúde do professorado do curso de Educação Física na Instituição pesquisada. Com esses fatores sistematizados, foram criadas categorias analíticas, sendo possível compreender com maior profundidade o estudo em foco. No entanto, o campo de pesquisa deste estudo foi uma Instituição da Rede Privada do Ensino Superior privado do Município de Pelotas que oferece os cursos de Educação Física Licenciatura e Bacharelado, tendo como colaboradores/as os/as professores/as que formam o corpo docente destes dois cursos. A partir da pergunta científica, do objetivo traçado e do tema em foco, tentamos estabelecer a relação da precarização da educação e do trabalho e o que isso representa na educação e na formação humana em geral, ou seja, não somente no campo de pesquisa deste estudo – da Instituição pesquisada. Compreendendo este contexto, foi possível analisar que os/as professores/as estão cada vez mais submersos pela racionalidade presidida pelo regime de acumulação do capitalismo, que precariza explicitamente o trabalho, no qual o engendramento da organização do sistema capitalista afeta a saúde dos/as docentes através das precárias condições de trabalho que estes/as estão expostos/as. A partir desta análise, então, elaboramos duas categorias analíticas que trataram sobre os preceitos do sistema capitalista, suas estratégias e a educação como mercadoria neste engendramento (primeira categoria) para que pudéssemos, então, compreender as condições precárias de trabalho da Instituição (segunda categoria) e que descreve com profundidade o trabalho pedagógico do professorado na Instituição foco de nossa pesquisa, sendo assim, possível aprofundar sobre a particularidade do trabalho dos/as colaboradores/as na Instituição e sobre o tema proposto. Concluímos que a cada ano de existência da Instituição, o trabalho pedagógico em geral se torna mais precário e que faz os/as trabalhadores/as adoecerem de modo substancial, podendo afirmar que a precarização do trabalho e a saúde docente estão intimamente associadas e que dentre os agravamentos de saúde do professorado da IES pesquisada são os problemas ósteo-musculares, problemas vocais e labirintite e que são decorrentes de fatores de saúde mental como: estres, cansaço, desânimo e transtorno de ansiedade. / This study deals with the subject "teaching health and job insecurity in the course of Physical Education in a college Private Network Higher Education" and aimed to analyze the implications of the precariousness of teaching in health / the teacher / the of Physical education in this college. As a guiding issue, we are guided by the question: What are the implications of the precariousness of teaching in health physical education course teachers in a college Private Network Higher Education? The methodology used Marxist theoretical current - materialist dialectic, because we believe that the phenomena studied do not exist in isolation, where he understands the world as a set of processes in which everything is related and turns. Moreover, as procedures and information gathering tools used to document analysis, questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. After thorough analysis of field work, establishing the relationship between the theoretical framework with the information collected, we try to understand, interpret and identify the implications for engendering casualization of teaching and health of teachers of Physical Education course in the research institution. With these systematic factors, analytical categories were created, and you can understand in greater depth the study focus. However, the research field of this study was an institution deprived of Private Higher Education Network of the municipality of Pelotas that offers physical education courses Degree and Bachelor, with the employees / as the / the teacher / the forming faculty these two courses. From the scientific question, the established objective and the subject in focus, try to establish the relationship of the precariousness of education and labor and that it is in education and human development in general, ie not only in the search field this study - the institution researched. Understanding this context, it was possible to analyze the / the teacher / the are increasingly submerged by rationality led by capitalist accumulation regime which explicitly precariza work, in which the engendering of the capitalist system organization affects the health of / the teachers through poor working conditions that they / are exposed to / as. From this analysis, then, we prepared two analytical categories that dealt with the precepts of the capitalist system, its strategies and education as a commodity in this engendering (first category) so that we could then understand the precarious conditions of the institution work (second category ) and describes in depth the pedagogical work of the teachers in the institution focus of our research, therefore, possible to deepen about the particularity of the work of / the staff / the the institution and on the proposed topic. We conclude that each year of the institution, educational work in general becomes more precarious and that makes them / the workers / the fall ill substantially and can say that the precariousness of work and teaching health are closely linked and that among health aggravations IES of teachers surveyed are musculoskeletal problems, voice problems and labyrinthitis and are due to mental health factors such as stress, fatigue, depression and anxiety disorder.
