As conclusion, it was found the motivational character of RPG game for the teaching of History and also it points to an increase of motivational targets as learning and performance-approximation for the students who played the game / Mestrado / Psicologia Educacional / Mestre em Educação

This thesis uses analytic philosophical inquiry and autobiographical narrative inquiry to identify a conception of critical thinking (CT) that is “most adaptable” for teaching History 12, and then discusses the strengths and limitations. The CT literature includes several conflicting conceptions of CT, and I use two specific types of analytic philosophical inquiry, (conceptual analysis and conceptual structure assessment), to identify which conception is “most adaptable” for teaching History 12. After considering the degree to which each conception meets the criteria developed for the “most adaptable” conception of CT, I conclude that the Critical Thinking Consortium’s (TC²) conception is the most adaptable. Of all the conceptions developed thus far, the TC² approach is unique because it is designed solely as a pedagogical model for embedding CT throughout the curriculum of each subject and grade level. In the second section of the thesis, I use autobiographical narrative inquiry to reflect on the strengths and limitations of the TC² model after using the model to teach History 12 for a year. One of the foundational principles of the TC² conception is the notion that embedding CT throughout the curriculum is a powerful way of improving understanding. I determine that this contention is accurate because students improved their knowledge of the curriculum, the epistemology of history, and the adoption of CT in their everyday lives. Furthermore, use of the TC² conception helped improve my planning and assessment practices, and initiated a positive change of my role in the classroom. / Education, Faculty of (Okanagan) / Graduate

The aim of this research is to know the changed and permanent aspects of writing of History related to the evaluated and approved textbooks distributed by ―Programa Nacional do Livro Didático para o Ensino Médio (PNLEM)‖ through analysis of its conceptual metahistoric and substantive concepts. The methodology used was the analysis of the rules set up by announcements of programme on historical concepts considered important. So, we carry out the analysis of present and past collections to the programme in order to know if PNLEM was responsible for an improvement in their conceptual contents as ever identified by researchers on teaching History when they worked on the ―Programa Nacional do Livro Didático para o Ensino Fundamental‖. Our meaningful time goes from 1997 to 2005. The methodological procedures of Analysis of Content by Laurence Bardin (1977) were used to cathegorize the contents extracted in historical propositions in the textbook. The importance of this is to know how much the public policies influence in History textbooks in this teaching level. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo conhecer as mudanças e permanências na escrita da História veiculada nos livros didáticos avaliados, aprovados e distribuídos pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático para o Ensino Médio (PNLEM) através da análise de seus conteúdos conceituais meta-históricos e substantivos. Usando como baliza de análise as prescrições dadas pelos editais do programa sobre os conceitos históricos considerados importantes, realizamos a análise das coleções em edições anteriores e posteriores ao programa, visando saber se o PNLEM foi responsável por uma melhora nos conteúdos conceituais das coleções, como já identificado pelos pesquisadores em Ensino de História ao investigarem o Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) para o Ensino Fundamental. O nosso recorte temporal abrange o período de 1997 a 2005. Utilizamos os procedimentos metodológicos da Análise de Conteúdo de Laurence Bardin (1977) para categorizar os conceitos que foram extraídos nas proposições históricas presentes no texto didático. A importância desse trabalho está em conhecer o grau de influência das políticas públicas nos livros de História para esse nível de ensino.

"The problem of this study is to determine to what extent the junior high school teachers of industrial arts in Texas are being trained to meet the apparent needs and trends in the field.

As Sweden has moved from being a homogeneous country to a multicultural melting pot of various nationalities so has the need for history teachers to understand how to raise various historical issues in a way without unnecessarily offending or aggravating while still doing their duty of educating and fostering the next generation on Swedish citizens. Therefore, this research overview of the topic “sensitive and controversial issues in history teaching” (SCIs) has been done as an attempt to bridge knowledge gaps and create more understanding for how to educate on SCIs by gathering information from nations where the issues have already been well documented. Consequently, this study attempts to showcase different SCIs in different nations as well as showcasing how teachers from each nation either try teaching said issues or ignore it. The conclusion is that teachers in general do not shy away from teaching controversial subjects and that a controversial subject is a subject that still holds an emotional connection to a student or a teacher.

During that time feminist scholars have argued that sentimental novels performed important cultural work and represent an important literary tradition. This dissertation contributes to the scholarship by placing the sentimental novel within a larger context of intellectual history as a tradition that draws upon theoretical sources and is a source itself for later cultural developments. In examining a variety of sentimental novels, I establish the moral sense philosophy as the theoretical basis of the sentimental novel's pathetic appeals and its theories of sociability and justice. The dissertation also addresses the aesthetic features of the sentimental novel and demonstrates again the tradition's connection to moral sense philosophy but within the context of the American elocution revolution. I look at natural language theory to render more legible the moments of emotional spectacle that are the signature of sentimental aesthetics. The second half of the dissertation demonstrates a connection between the sentimental novel and silent film. Both mediums rely on a common aesthetic storehouse for signifying emotions. The last two chapters of the dissertation compare silent film performance with emotional displays in the sentimental novel and in elocution and acting manuals. I also demonstrate that the films of D. W. Griffith, especially The Birth of a Nation, draw upon on the larger conventions of the sentimental novel.

Abstract The aim with this study is to examine how practicing history teachers in upper secondary school deal with historical thinking concepts. The three main questions are: which concepts do teachers use in their courses and when do they use them? How can teachers’ use of different historical thinking concepts be described in terms of reconstruction and construction? What factors influence teachers when they work with historical thinking concepts?   To answer these questions, the material, for example tests, lesson plans and notes of seven teachers has been analyzed. These analysis were followed by interviews with the teachers.   The empirical data have been handled in two steps. The first step is a survey of what historical thinking concepts teachers use and when they use them. The survey was done as a detailed reading of the teachers’ material. In this survey two historical thinking concepts, evidence and cause and consequence, have been selected for further analysis, which is the second step.   The results show that when teachers deal with the historical thinking concept of evidence they show their students models and ways to handle evidence. This is not the case when teachers handle the historical thinking concept of cause and consequence. Models are shown here as well but not to the same extent. The result also shows that the teachers’ handling of evidence in a greater extent leads to construction compared with their handling of cause and consequence.   The explanations provided in the study also point to the different character between the two concepts and what form of test the teachers’ use and what words are used to communicate for example cause and consequence. Furthermore, the explanations also indicate that the teachers’ view of what historical knowledge contains of, together with what kind of students and what other subject they teach play some part in their dealing with historical thinking concepts. / Vilka tankeredskap hanterar historielärare i sin undervisning och när framkommer dessa i de kurser lärare undervisar i? Hur hanterar lärare tankeredskap i termer av rekonstruktion och konstruktion? Dessa frågor ställs i denna studie som bygger på en analys av sju lärares undervisningsmaterial och på uppföljande intervjuer med lärarna. I den första delen kartläggs de tankeredskap som lärare hanterar i hela kurser som de undervisar i. Ett resultat av denna del är att orsak och konsekvens är det dominerande tankeredskapet som lärare hanterar. Ett annat resultat är att tankeredskapens förekomst i lärarnas kurser uppvisar stora variationer. I den andra delen sker en fördjupad analys av två tankeredskap, källor och källkritik samt orsak och konsekvens. I denna analys framkommer att lärarnas hanterande av källor och källkritik i större utsträckning kan beskrivas i termer av konstruktion, jämfört med lärarnas hanterande av orsak och konsekvens. I analysen framkommer också att lärare kan hantera tankeredskap i två steg; det som i studien kallas tankeredskap som modell respektive tankeredskap som process. / <p>Ingår i CSD-serien.</p> / Ingår i CSD-serien

In this dissertation, the phrase 'Christian Citizen' refers to those Christians who possess a strong sense of identity, believing in Christianity and upholding the corresponding faith while fulfilling civic responsibility and loving one's country. Through gathering and investigating into the personal letters, works and reports and so on of Liu, this dissertation renders an in-depth exploration of Liu's analysis on national character, views on citizenship and his blueprint of the Civic Education Movement. More importantly, Liu did not resort to empty talk but walked the talk, integrating faith with daily life. Throughout his whole life, including, in the early days, the Career Guidance Movement and his work at the Y.M.C.A., his presidency at the University of Shanghai and fmally the righteous action in defending against Japanese invasion during the latter days, the quality of Liu, in being loyal to one's nation, displaying care and concern for the society, living out and walking one's faith whole-heartedly was evident. His life manifested the unification of the roles and functions of a Christian citizen of one's nation, with Christian citizenship vividly lived out. Special investigation would be made into a rarely noted work headed by Liu, Y.M.C.A.'s Civic Education Movement in the 1920s, under the slogan 'Saving Nation through Character'. The origins, effectiveness and characteristics of the Movement would be explored. This study concludes with revealing, through Liu's life, the characteristics of being a Christian citizen and examines the choice of the advocators of 'Saving Nation through Character'. / There is a saying: "One more Christian, one fewer Chinese". It implies a conflict between an Ascribed Identity (Chinese) and an Achieved Identity (Christian). The former is an inherited and irreversible blood relationship while the latter is acquired after birth, being a self-converted social role. Undeniably, conflict of identities brought about bewilderment and impact to Chinese Christians in late Qing and Early Republican eras, causing identity crisis. Role identification is a process of getting to know oneself in terms of cognition, attitude and behavior, affecting daily life and instilling meaning of life. Quite a number of researches in the past emphasized the mental struggle and torture suffered by Chinese Christians under the seemingly incompatibility of the two identities. However, identity crisis is by no means impossible to do away with or integrated. This research attempts to show that ascribed identity and achieved identity can be integrated harmoniously through identify negotiation. The case of Liu Zhan-en (1896--1938) clearly demonstrated roles of being a citizen on earth and that of heavenly kingdom need not be an either-or option. Christians are not only citizens of the eternal heavenly kingdom, but also contemporary citizens on earth. One can live in serving the Lord with piety while obeying legal requirements stipulated by the government. Devoted and sound citizenship could be harmoniously integrated to be 'Christian Citizen'. / 黃錦暉. / Adviser: Yuen Sang Leung. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-03, Section: A, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2010. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 221-252). / Electronic reproduction.

To that end, we investigated the activities of teachers which culminated in the constitution of the knowings and doings of the teaching of History in secondary school a century before the creation of courses that would prepare teachers for that level of teaching. In that sense, we delimitated two moments: the first one, in the second half of the nineteenth century, refers to the officialization of the post of History teacher by means of offerings of public teaching jobs aimed at the teaching of a specific subject. In doing so, we went back to the second half of the eighteenth century, at the time of the institution of the so-called instruções pombalinas , i.e., set of norms, promulgated by the Portuguese statesman Marquis of Pombal, for the teaching of Latin grammar, a subject that conveyed historical contents. The second one, ranging from the end of the nineteenth to the beginning of the twentieth century, features the discussions and establishments related to the normatization of the teaching of History set forth by the public power of the Gymnasio Espírito-Santense, a renowned boys school of the time. Our analysis was grounded on a corpus constituted by official documents, newspapers of the time and History textbooks that comprised the foundations for the understanding of the actions of teachers in the process of formation of History as a subject. We based our work on Roger Chartier (1990, 2009) and André Chervel (1990; 2001) in order to build the categories Humanist Fraternities (Fraternidades Humanistas), Productive Liberties (Liberdades Produtivas) and Distinctive Equalities (Igualdades Distintivas), articulating them to those of Fights, Laws and Books. As a result, we concluded that the formation of the subject of History in the state of Espírito Santo was made from the actions of teachers located in different fraternities. Some of these, in a way, professed History under strong teleological conceptions which transposed a Sacred History to a Profane History; on the other hand, other fraternities, fighting against this transposition, professed a teaching of History that potentialized the action of individuals and conflicts that crossed the period examined. We postulated that this shock was the indelible mark of the fights, laws and books upon which History teachers built the subject of History in secondary education in Espírito Santo / Este estudo analisou a história dos professores no processo de constituição da disciplina História no Espírito Santo. Para tanto, investigamos a ação desses professores que constituíram os saberes e fazeres do ensino de História no secundário um século antes da criação dos cursos que formariam os professores para esse nível de ensino. Nesse sentido, delimitamos dois momentos: o primeiro, segunda metade do século XIX, remete à oficialização do cargo de professor de História, por conta da oferta do Estado de cadeiras públicas destinadas ao ensino de um conhecimento específico. Para isso, recuamos à segunda metade do século XVIII, quando da instituição das Instruções pombalinas para os professores de Gramática Latina, disciplina que veiculou originalmente os conteúdos históricos; o segundo momento, final do século XIX e início do XX, quando das discussões e instituições relativas à normatização do saber e o fazer docente em História, no âmbito da criação, pelo poder público, do Gymnasio Espírito-Santense. Fundamentamos a análise em um corpus documental constituído por documentos oficiais, jornais de época, livros didáticos de História, de memorialistas, dentre outros que formaram a base para a compreensão da ação dos professores no processo de constituição disciplinar da História. Baseamo-nos em Roger Chartier (1990, 2009) e André Chervel (1990; 2001) para construir as categorias Lutas, Leis e Livros, articulando-as às de Fraternidades Humanistas, Liberdades Produtivas e Igualdades Distintivas. Como resultado, concluímos que a constituição da disciplina História no Espírito Santo se fez a partir das ações de professores situados em diversas fraternidades. Algumas dessas, por uma via, professaram a disciplina História sob fortes concepções teleológicas, que transpunham uma História Sagrada para a História Profana; por outra via, outras fraternidades, combatendo tal transposição, professaram um ensino de História que potencializou a ação dos sujeitos e dos conflitos que atravessaram o período analisado. Postulamos que tal embate foi a marca indelével das lutas, leis e livros a partir das quais os professores de História constituíram a disciplina História no ensino secundário no Espírito Santo

It has the purpose to take into consideration the way these texts portrayed its contemporaneity, since this was an adverse moment in our Republic. Therefore the texts being examined are those written between 1964 and 1985, which comprehended João Goulart's government, Military Coup and presidents-generals' administration. For this purpose, the textbooks themselves were used along with a specific bibliography concerning educational laws that were in force that period, the history of school discipline and the history of this editorial field, which analyzes not only the texts but also the school curriculum established by the Secretary of Education and its members, including authors, editorial staff and sales department. Concluding, it makes an analysis its relation with state organs responsible for the production of this, material, as illustrates the committees created by several governments that were in charge of its evaluation and subsequent distribution to public schools. During these 20 years of editorial production, it's possible to verify that changes in the national political conjuncture had repercussions on the textbooks because of the inspection of organs instituted to infiltrate into several places. One can observe that, as a consequence of the political openness, these texts were profoundly modified / Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal analisar os livros didáticos de História do Brasil escritos no período da Ditadura Militar e observar se em seus textos há correspondências com os preceitos da Ideologia de Segurança Nacional implementado pelo novo regime, observando também outras vozes que pudessem existir. É sua proposta considerar como os textos retratavam a sua contemporaneidade, já que fora um momento adverso de nossa República, assim, foram trabalhados os textos que correspondem ao período 1964-1985 examinando as representações sobre o governo de João Goulart, o Golpe militar e a administração dos generais-presidentes. Para tal, foram utilizados os próprios livros didáticos, uma bibliografia especializada que trata das leis educacionais vigentes no período, a história da disciplina escolar e a história deste campo editorial - que analisa não somente os textos, mas também o currículo prescrito pelas Secretarias de Educação e sua composição - que abrange autores, equipe editorial e equipe de vendas. Além de observar, a relação com os órgãos estatais ligados à sua produção, assim como as comissões criadas por diversos governos que lidavam com a sua avaliação e a posterior distribuição nas escolas públicas. Como este trabalho abrange um período de 20 anos de produção editorial, é possível verificar que as mudanças na conjuntura política do país atingiram os livros didáticos num momento em que os órgãos de vigilância estavam infiltrados nos mais diversos ambientes, deste modo, observamos que após a abertura política, esses textos sofreram alterações significativas
