No. of bitstreams: 1 VICENTE CELESTINO DA SILVA.pdf: 576216 bytes, checksum: 941ddd174742c965e3cb808dd84ab08c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-09-25 / The aim of this dissertation is to analyze the process of improving teaching and learning of how to produce a dissertational-argumentative text according to ENEM demands. It is based on Bakhtin s theory of dialogism (1988, 1997, 1998 and 2003) and other authors who focused on text production in the teaching of Portuguese, such as Antunes (2005, 2006 and 2007) and Marcuschi (2008). Why do the majority of school-leavers at Colégio Estadual Ângelo Urzêda have difficulties when interpreting and producing written texts? Can their difficulties be explained by the methodology used in the Portuguese language class which favors normative teaching rather that the ENEM didactic proposal which takes into account the five competencies when reading and producing texts? ENEM results show up student reading and writing problems. There is a general complaint from teachers of all subjects about the students disinterest and lack of quality in writing and reading interpretation. The Portuguese language teacher is indicated as the only person responsible for solving the problem. On analyzing certain school documents, it could be seen that curricular synthesis and the pedagogical policy project are not consonant with the pedagogical proposals of the PCNEM or ENEM, since neither school nor classroom practice would seem to reflect the set of competencies suggested by MEC: 1) show mastery of the cultural norms of written language; 2) understand the proposal of the composition and use concepts from the different areas of knowledge to develop the theme, within the structural limits of the dissertational-argumentative text; 3) select, relate, organize and interpret information, facts, opinions and arguments to defend a point of view; 4) show knowledge of the linguistic mechanism necessary to build the argument; 5) draw up an intervention proposal for the problem being treated, while respecting human rights. The main aim of this research was to analyze how the process of teaching and learning to produce a dissertational-argumentative text was undertaken in Grade 3A Colégio Estadual Ângelo Urzêda during 2008. Its specific aim was to identify the difficulties which have led to the success or lack thereof in the process of teaching and learning of reading and writing of high school leavers. This study is a qualitative type case-study, situated in the field of Education. It belongs to the field of Language and the Portuguese language and the discussion on the data collected seeks understanding within Bakhtinian dialogism. / Esta dissertação pretende analisar o processo de melhoria do ensino e aprendizagem da produção do texto dissertativo-argumentativo conforme as competências do ENEM. Está embasada na teoria do dialogismo de Bakhtin (1988, 1997, 1998 e 2003) e outros autores que focalizam a produção de textos no ensino de Língua Portuguesa, como Antunes (2005, 2006 e 2007) e Marcuschi (2008). Por que a maioria dos alunos concluintes do ensino médio no Colégio Estadual Ângelo Urzêda apresenta dificuldades para interpretar e produzir textos escritos? Suas dificuldades podem ser explicadas pela metodologia adotada em sala de aula de português que privilegia o ensino normativo do idioma, diferentemente da proposta didática do ENEM que leva em conta as cinco competências na leitura e produção textual? Os resultados do ENEM demonstram problemas de leitura e escrita dos alunos. Há uma queixa generalizada dos professores de todas as disciplinas sobre o desinteresse e a falta de qualidade da escrita e da leitura interpretativa dos alunos, apontando o professor de língua portuguesa como o único responsável em solucionar o problema. Ao analisar alguns documentos da escola, pude perceber que a síntese curricular e o projeto político pedagógico não demonstram ser consonantes com as propostas pedagógicas do PCNEM e ENEM, já que a escola e a prática em sala de aula não parecem refletir a matriz de competências sugeridas pelo MEC: 1) demonstrar domínio da norma culta da língua escrita; 2) compreender a proposta de redação e aplicar conceitos das várias áreas de conhecimento para desenvolver o tema, dentro dos limites estruturais do texto dissertativoargumentativo; 3) selecionar, relacionar, organizar e interpretar informações, fatos, opiniões e argumentos em defesa um ponto de vista; 4) demonstrar conhecimento dos mecanismos linguísticos necessários para a construção da argumentação; 5) elaborar proposta de intervenção para o problema abordado, demonstrando respeito aos direitos humanos. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi analisar como se dá o processo de ensino e aprendizagem da produção escrita do texto dissertativo argumentativo na 3ª série A do ensino médio do Colégio Estadual Ângelo Urzêda durante o ano de 2008. O objetivo específico foi identificar as dificuldades que têm levado ao (in)sucesso o processo de ensino e aprendizagem da leitura e da produção escrita da maioria dos alunos concluintes do ensino médio. Este trabalho é um estudo de caso de cunho qualitativo, situa-se na área da Educação, insere-se no campo da Linguagem em Língua Portuguesa e a discussão dos dados coletados busca compreensão no dialogismo bakhtiniano.

O estudo discute o processo de ensino e aprendizagem em Dança na Educação Básica. Tendo por objetivo principal investigar como ocorre o processo de construção dos corpos dançantes na escola de ensino formal, a pesquisa desenvolve-se numa abordagem qualitativa, empírica e reflexiva, que se propõe a problematizar as relações entre os saberes teóricos e práticos que envolvem a disciplina de Dança no meio escolar, considerando seus referenciais, objetivos, conteúdos e procedimentos didáticos. O estudo “deságua” na configuração do termo “co(rpo)letivo”, idealizado pela autora, que caracteriza um corpo dançante na escola. A parte empírica da pesquisa ocorre no Instituto de Educação General Flores da Cunha, escola da Rede Estadual de Ensino de Porto Alegre – RS, onde alunos de uma turma do 1⁰ ano do Ensino Fundamental participam de aulas de Dança ministradas no 2⁰ semestre de 2011. Considerando essa experiência prática, são analisados materiais (vídeos, fotos, relatórios de observação), na perspectiva de autores como: Freire (1996), Tardif e Levasseur (2011), Imbernón (2011), Becker (2008), Gil (2004), Marques (2010), Strazzacappa (2006), Tiriba (2008), dentre outros. Ao tratar de temas inerentes à inserção da Dança na escola, a pesquisa compreende fatores como: perfil docente, possibilidades e dificuldades da ação pedagógica, conteúdos e processos históricos de Dança, Educação e Sociedade. A partir destas questões e reflexões propõe-se um entrelaçamento de saberes na tentativa de ampliar as possibilidades de trabalho em Dança na Educação Básica, problematizar mitos a respeito do ensino da Dança e pesquisar o universo que engloba a sua prática. Os resultados obtidos no estudo levam a considerar que a construção de corpos dançantes na escola, vincula-se ao comprometimento por parte da instituição educacional com um ensino de Dança de qualidade; ao oferecimento de condições para que o aluno crie e acredite no seu próprio potencial; e do desenvolvimento de propostas contínuas e atualizadas em relação às tendências artísticas da Dança. Nessa perspectiva, as especificidades que demarcam o corpo na escola, indo ao encontro da noção de “co(rpo)letivo”, são, de modo geral, o envolvimento num processo de construção de saberes em Dança numa escola de Educação Básica promotora de vivências coletivas de aprendizado, em sintonia com o processo de criação e recriação da autonomia do corpo, e de experimentação da Dança de modo investigativo, crítico e criativo. / The study discusses the process of teaching and learning of Dance in Elementary Education. Since the main objective is to investigate how the construction process of dancing occurs in formal school education, the research develops a qualitative, empirical and reflexive approach which intends to debate the relationship among the theoretical and practical knowledge which involve the discipline of dancing at school considering its benchmarks, objectives, contents and teaching procedures. The study leads to the configuration of the term "co(rpo)letivo", idealized by the author, that represents a dancing body at school. The empirical part of the research occurs at the Instituto de Educação General Flores da Cunha, State School of Porto Alegre - RS, where students of the 1⁰ year class of the elementary school attends classes in Dance which was held in the 2⁰ semester of 2011. Considering this practical experience, materials are analyzed (videos, photos, class reports) from the perspective of authors such as Freire (1996), Tardif and Levasseur (2011), Imbernon (2011), Becker (2008), Gil (2004) Marques (2010), Strazzacappa (2006), Tiriba (2008), among others. By addressing issues concerning the insertion of Dance at school, the research includes factors such as: teaching profile, possibilities and difficulties of pedagogical action, content and historical processes of Dance, Education and Society. From these questions and reflections, the research proposes an interweaving of knowledge in order to expand Dance possibilities in Elementary Education, discuss myths related to teaching Dance and understand the universe that encompasses its practice. The results obtained in this study lead to the conclusion that the construction of dancing bodies in school are linked to the commitment by the educational institution with a qualified teaching of dance; offering the conditions for the student to create and believe in their own potential, and the development of continuous and updated proposals related to the artistic trends of Dance. From this perspective, the specifics that outline the body at the school, meeting the concept of "co(rpo)letivo" are, in general, the involvement in a process of knowledge construction in a dance at a Basic Education that promotes collective learning in line with the process of creation and recreation of body’s autonomy, and also the experimentation in Dance, in an investigative, critical and creative way.

We understand routine as those daily, repetitive and regular activities that occur in a particular quotidian, seeking organize it. Was held, in addition to a literature search, which sought to embrace the main authors who discuss this subject: Barbosa (2000), Cavasin (2008), Rodrigues (2009) and Lima (2010), an ethnographic study spanning two municipal schools in the region of Cascavel city. The fieldwork, whose data were collected through observation, using the cursive register technique, aimed to describe the pedagogical activities in the early years of elementary school, focusing on routines. In Phase I, it was observed for three days, the first and second year of elementary of two schools, totaling 48 hours. So it was decided, in phase II, concentrating the 48 hours of observation in a single class. Found a predominance of routines totaling between 52 and 72 percent of other educational activities in school life. Based on observations, the routines were classified as related to the organization of time, space, compliance with school rules and structuring of content. Considering the high frequency of the routines in the pedagogical process, emphasizes the importance of giving them the same treatment given to other activities developed by the teacher, planning them intentionally. Dialogues in the sense that, by targeting the formative aspect in education, routines can be constituted both an educational category that contributes to students learn the scientific knowledge, which process, school is responsible; as unlike can characterize an activity that hinders the learning process, making it uninteresting and boring, if not planned and diversified. / Ao considerar a escola como instituição responsável por garantir às novas gerações a apropriação dos conhecimentos historicamente construídos pela humanidade, buscou-se, com esta pesquisa compreender as rotinas presentes nos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Entendem-se como rotinas aquelas atividades diárias, repetitivas e regulares que ocorrem em um determinado cotidiano, buscando organizá-lo. Realizou-se, além de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, que buscou abarcar os principais autores que discutem essa temática: Barbosa (2000), Cavasin (2008), Rodrigues (2009) e Lima (2010), uma pesquisa etnográfica abrangendo duas escolas municipais da região de Cascavel. A pesquisa de campo, cujos dados foram coletados por meio da observação, utilizando a técnica do Registro Cursivo, objetivou descrever as atividades pedagógicas desenvolvidas nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, com foco nas rotinas. Na fase I, observou-se durante três dias, o primeiro e o segundo ano do Ensino Fundamental de duas escolas, totalizando 48 horas. Optou-se, então, na fase II, por concentrar às 48 horas de observação em uma única turma. Constatou-se o predomínio das rotinas totalizando entre 52 e 72 por cento das demais atividades pedagógicas desenvolvidas no cotidiano escolar. Com base nas observações realizadas, as rotinas foram classificadas como referentes à organização do tempo, do espaço, ao cumprimento das normas escolares e à estruturação dos conteúdos. Considerando-se a alta frequência das rotinas no processo pedagógico, ressalta-se a importância de se dar a elas o mesmo tratamento atribuído às demais atividades desenvolvidas pelo professor, planejando-as intencionalmente. Dialoga-se no sentido de que, ao visar o aspecto formativo na educação, as rotinas podem constituir-se tanto em uma categoria educativa que contribua para que os alunos apropriem-se dos conhecimentos científicos por cujo processo a escola é responsável, quanto ao contrário, podem caracterizar uma atividade que dificulta o processo de aprendizagem, tornando-o desinteressante e enfadonho, caso não sejam planejadas e diversificadas.

Education plays a vital role in shaping social structures and influencing social mobility in a society, and thus educational equality is a concern for many societies. Considering the compulsory status of English from basic to higher education in China and its symbolic meaning in Chinese society, this study regards it as a window to explore educational inequality and its association with social structures. This study investigates the roles played by family, geographic divide, and institution, and the way in which the three interplay in structuring the educational pathways of individuals and shaping educational inequality. This study describes a qualitative case study of 36 students of different social milieus in an elite university. Data from the case interviews is complemented by classroom observation of three secondary schools within the educational system hierarchy, classroom observation of the elite university, teacher interviews from the four educational institutions, and collected documents. I draw on Bourdieu's conceptual tools of different types of capital, field, and habitus in order to understand the complexity of educational inequality in China. The data present striking differences in the educational trajectories between social groups. The success of higher-SES students is partly ascribed to the richer volume and types of their families' cultural capital, and the inclination for their families to transfer abundant economic capital to their children's embodied cultural capital. The interview data suggest that disadvantaged students rely heavily on formal education and are inscribed with institutional habitus due to the scarcity of educational resources obtained from family. More importantly, for advantaged students, their family, secondary schools (previous field) and the elite university (current field) work together in a consistent way, resulting in a positive momentum that contributes to a sense of belonging and fitting-in to the elite university. On the contrary, for marginalised students, contradictions and disconnections are found between secondary schools and the current elite field in terms of institutional habitus and practices, which to a large extent can be ascribed to the stratified school system and geographic divides. This situation leads to a negative momentum for them, which causes feelings of alienation and a sense of disorientation when encountering the elite field. This academic disorientation is evident in their transitional period. Their habitus is identified by a transformative tendency with easier access to dominant cultural capital and habitus. However, the transformation is circumscribed by their huge efforts made in overcoming the initial difficulties and their families' lack of capital. Some special cases in my study suggest a more equal admission policy and the critical role that institutions play in compensating for a family's lack of capital. This thesis concludes with suggestions for more inclusive practices for institutions and policy makers in China to achieve a more equal educational context.

As pesquisas sobre o ensino da evolução biológica e as teorias evolutivas dos últimos 30 anos apontam para obstáculos no processo de ensino e aprendizagem, desde a Educação Básica até a Superior, em vários países. Dos diferentes aspectos relevantes sobre a evolução biológica investigados até o presente momento a dissertação visou responder a pergunta: como a evolução biológica e as teorias evolutivas se apresentam na organização dos nove livros didáticos de Biologia avaliados e recomendados pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático para o Ensino Médio 2007/2009? Objetivou-se, assim: (1) descrever a estrutura e o padrão de distribuição do conteúdo biológico compartilhado entre os nove livros didáticos de Biologia destinados ao ensino médio avaliados e recomendados pelo PNLEM (2007/2009) destacando a evolução biológica e Teorias Evolutivas; (2) descrever as unidades e/ou capítulos específicos dessas obras didáticas que tratem a evolução biológica e as teorias evolutivas como objeto de estudo; (3) localizar conceitos evolutivos pré-determinados ao longo de todas as obras didáticas amostradas de forma a identificar o padrão de distribuição dos assuntos que associem diretamente à evolução biológica. Para a execução do trabalho o quadro metodológico baseou-se na pesquisa qualitativa com as seguintes etapas: (1) levantamento do nome das unidades, capítulos, tópicos e sub-tópicos dos livros didáticos amostrados; (2) caracterização dos capítulos específicos por meio de categorias adaptadas da literatura; (3) localização de termos (unidades perceptíveis) diretamente relacionados aos conceitos evolucionismo, evolução biológica, seleção natural, adaptação biológica, ancestralidade, variação genética e filogenia no texto principal dos capítulos específicos e não-específicos da amostra. / During the last 30 years, the research about teaching of biological evolution and evolutionary theories, points out to obstacles in the process of teaching and learning. This can be noted from elementary school level all the way through college level education, and it is present in several countries. Despite others aspects of biological evolution so far investigated, this dissertation is aimed to answer the following question: How are biological evolution and evolutionary theories presented in the organization of the nine Biology textbooks that have been evaluated and recommended by the Brazilian National Program for High School Textbooks (PNLEM 2007/2009)? To answer this question, this study is intended to do the following: (1) Describe the structure and distribution pattern of biological content shared among the nine high school biology textbooks evaluated and recommended by PNLEM (2007/2009), highlighting the biological evolution and evolutionary theory. (2) Describe the sections and/or specific chapters of these textbooks that approach biological evolution and evolutionary theories as objects of study. (3) Localize the evolutionary concepts predetermined over all the textbooks surveyed, to identify the distribution pattern of matters directly involving biological evolution. In order to achieve the goals of the present work, a methodological framework based on a qualitative approach was established by using the following steps: (1) Identification of the name of the sections, chapters, topics and subtopics of the sampled textbooks. (2) Characterization of the specific sections through categories adapted from the literature. (3) Localization of terms (perceptible units) directly related to the concepts evolution, biological evolution, natural selection, biological adaptation, ancestry, genetic variation and phylogeny in the main body of the specific and non-specific sections of the sample textbooks.

Every year thousands of students graduate from high school and move on to higher education, but many of them are not yet prepared for college level courses. The Tennessee Board of Regents does not currently allow 4-year institutions to teach courses that are below college level, so many institutions are using programs such as learning support courses to assist a growing population of underprepared students. The purpose of this study was to determine if the 1-term and 2-term retention rates for students with the same ACT mathematics subsection scores were different between students who took a regular section of Probability and Statistics and students who took a learning support section of the course. The subjects of this study were students who enrolled in a Probability and Statistics class (either regular sections or learning support sections) at a 4-year institution from the 2013 summer semester through the 2014 fall semester. The criteria used for selecting subjects included: (1) enrolled in a section of Probability and Statistics, (2) had a valid ACT mathematics subsection score on file with the institution, and (3) recorded a final grade in the course. Students were then grouped by ACT mathematics subsection score and type of course (learning support or regular). When students were grouped by matching ACT mathematics subscores there were no real significant differences in 1-term retention, 2-term retention, or final course grade between students who took a 4-hour learning support section of probability and statistics and students who opted to take a regular 3-hour version of the same course, with one exception. Of students who scored a 17 on the ACT mathematics subsection, the students enrolled in a regular course had a 1-term retention rate that was significantly higher than the learning support course.

Objectives: To determine if there is a relationship between the number of self-testing attempts and subsequent exam grade in a pharmacy course. Method: A total of 1,342 multiple choice questions were developed for pharmacy students to self-test for a pathophysiology course. Prior to each examination, students were allowed to take online quizzes which were randomly generated and related to the exam content. Quizzes were scored immediately, and students were shown the incorrect questions along with all answer choices. A matrix of intercorrelations and repeated measures ANOVA, with post hoc tests, was generated using PASW Statistics Version 19 (IBM, Armonk, NY) to evaluate all variables. Results: 77 of 79 students (97.5%) participated, resulting in a total of 7,042 attempts. Non-participants were assigned a zero. There were variations in both the average practice attempts (18 – 30) and subsequent exam grade (82 – 90) on the 4 exams. However, a significant correlation (p ≤ 0.05) existed between number of attempts and each exam grade (R = 0.478, 0.426, 0.385, and 0.218). For each exam, students were stratified into the upper and lower 50%, according to the number of self-test attempts. On all four exams the lower 50%, based solely on attempts, scored significantly lower (p ≤ 0.05) on the subsequent exam based on a two group T-test. Implications: Although self-testing strategies increase recall ability, this strategy is uncommon in pharmacy education. These results suggest that the number of self-testing attempts improves subsequent exam grade, regardless of the score for the self tests. Read More: http://www.ajpe.org/doi/full/10.5688/ajpe76599

Objectives: To determine if a flipped classroom improved student end of module exam performance in a pharmacotherapy oncology module. Method: Third year pharmacy students in the Class of 2013experienced the Pharmacotherapy Oncology Module (15 contact hours) as traditional lectures with optional case studies as supplemental homework (ungraded). The Class of 2014 experienced the same module content with a flipped classroom approach. The middle 10 contact hours were flipped as follows: 10 Vodcasts (8 hours total time) and 6 hours of in-class case studies in place of optional case studies. Students were instructed to watch Vodcasts before in-class case studies, but were not held accountable (i.e. quizzed) for pre-class preparation. The exam questions were identical in both cohorts. Performance on exam questions covered with the flipped approach was compared between the two cohorts using ANCOVA with prior academic performance variables (GPA) as covariates. Results: The students experiencing the flipped classroom approach performed poorer on exam questions covering flipped topics than the cohort that received traditional lecture with optional case studies with previous GPA used as a covariate (p , 0.05). Implications: A flipped classroom approach to incorporate active learning does not necessarily improve student performance. Limitations of this flipped classroom experiment include long vodcasts (30 to 50 minutes) and lack of student accountability for watching vodcasts. Further research is needed to determine optimal classroom flipping techniques that result in improved student performance.
