A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Education in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education in the Department of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2014. / This research was designed to ascertain teachers‟ perceptions on learner-centered teaching in the discipline of mathematics in basic education. The first aim of the study was to determine the extent to which teachers background training contributes to perception of learner-centred approach in the teaching of mathematics. The second aim sought to determine the extent to which teachers professional experience contributes to perception of learner centered approach in the teaching of mathematics. The third aim of the study was to determine the extent to which teachers background training contributes to learner-centred practices in the teaching of mathematics. Lastly, the fourth aim was to determine the extent to which teachers professional experience contributes to practices of learner-centred approach in the teaching of mathematics. To achieve the aims, a questionnaire and observation schedule were designed to collect the data. The questionnaire was primarily subjected to validation by the researcher through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). This instrument was first administrated to three hundred and nine primary school teachers of the provinces of Inhambane, Gaza and Maputo. After the piloting was performed the final version of the questionnaire was then applied to four hundred eight six primary school teachers and from this sample three hundred seventy three completed and returned the questionnaires. The returned questionnaire were then correctly analyzed. Three of four aims were connected to four hypothesis. To evaluate whether teacher background training and type of training have significant effects on teacher perceptions of learner-centred teaching approach an ordinal regression analysis was performed. To test whether would there be a relationship between teachers‟ professional experience and their approach to teaching mathematics and whether will there be a relationship between teachers‟ background training and their approach to teaching mathematics, a Chi-square 11 test of independence was used. To evaluate whether teachers use learner-centred teaching an observation schedule was also used. The results show that teachers teaching experiences as well as type of training did not have significant effect on their perceptions of learner-centred teaching. The results of this study have also shown that teachers‟ professional experience as well as the type of training teachers have received in teaching methods have no significant effects on the type of approach (teacher or learner-centred approach). Teachers of basic education prefer to use both approaches when they teach mathematics. Results from observation schedule show that teachers do not use learner-centred approach. Instead, they use teacher-centred teaching. Lastly, the results were discussed taking in account the literature reviewed within the framework of educational psychology applied to mathematics teaching. Finally suggestions were made on how to understand more deeply the question of teachers‟ perceptions of learner-centred teaching. The most important suggestion is that research should be done regarding teachers mathematics self-efficacy, how teachers perceive their own knowledge of learner-centred approach and how do they practice it. / Scientific Council of UDEBA-LAB

Este trabalho tem como objetivo geral analisar como se configura um modo de ensinar música na escola através de uma orquestra escolar e, como objetivos específicos, investigar as dimensões envolvidas nesse processo de ensino (o que, como, quem, para quem, por que e para que se ensina música nesse grupo) e compreender os significados que constituem esse modo de ensinar música na escola. A cultura escolar foi tomada como construto teórico, possibilitando olhar para o campo e entender o que nele está sendo produzido, assim como as dimensões envolvidas no ensino, a partir da prática escolar. Adotando uma abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa tem como método investigativo o estudo de caso e, como campo empírico, a orquestra de uma Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental da cidade de Porto Alegre-RS. Os dados foram coletados através de observações registradas em notas de campo; registros audiovisuais, mais especificamente fotografias e filmagens; e entrevistas semiestruturadas. A análise e interpretação dos dados indicou que o modo de ensinar música na escola através da Orquestra Villa-Lobos se configura a partir da prática musical em grupo, com referência na profissão, tendo as apresentações e espetáculos como a culminância da aprendizagem musical. Nesse processo, os vínculos afetivos vão sendo fortalecidos pelo convívio e pela prática coletiva, cultivando o que os próprios integrantes denominam como segunda família, criando a ambivalência entre a estrutura rígida e formal de uma orquestra com o ambiente acolhedor da segunda família. Essa prática coletiva foi fazendo sentido para a instituição por suas ações e resultados e o ensino na Orquestra Villa-Lobos se consolidou como um modo de ensinar música na escola, sobretudo, porque foi construído, articulado e sedimentado dentro da própria escola. / This study aims at analyzing a school orchestra sets up a way to teach music in schools. More specifically, the study aims to investigate the dimensions involved in this teaching process (what, how, who, to whom, why, and to what purpose music is taught to this group) and to understand the meanings that help to constitute this way of teaching music in schools. Taken as a theoretical construct, the school culture made it possible to understand what is being produced in the field, as well as the dimensions involved in music teaching, from the perspective of the school practices. Adopting a qualitative approach to research, a case study with the orchestra of a Municipal School of Basic Education of Porto Alegre-RS was carried out. Data were collected through observations recorded in field notes, audiovisual recordings, specifically photographs and footage, and semi-structured interviews. Data analysis indicates that the way of teaching music in the school orchestra is set up from the practice of making music together, taking the music profession as a reference, and public performances as the culmination of the process of music learning. In this process, the affective ties are strengthened both by participants’ interaction and collective practice, cultivating what the members themselves call a second family. This creates ambivalence between the rigid and formal structure of an orchestra and the welcoming atmosphere of the second family. Through its actions and outcomes, this teaching practice gradually became meaningful for the institution. The way of teaching music in the orchestra was consolidated as a way of teaching music in the school because it was built, articulated and settled within the school itself.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral compreender como ocorre o processo de desenvolvimento profissional do professor de música a partir da sua relação com a escola de educação básica. A visão conceitual de lugar de Tuan e de Lévy e Lussault, de desenvolvimento profissional de Nóvoa e de construção biográfica de Delory-Momberger, bem como a pesquisa autobiográfica e as narrativas, constituem o referencial teóricometodológico desta pesquisa. O estudo foi realizado por meio de entrevistas narrativas com quatro professores licenciados, experientes e atuantes em escolas de educação básica de Porto Alegre, RS. A análise dos dados foi construída a partir de macrotemas que emergiram dos dados das entrevistas: do trabalho na escola de educação básica; da relação com os sujeitos escolares – o outro; da autoformação. Esses macrotemas são como marcas perceptíveis no processo de desenvolvimento profissional do professor de música. A análise indica que o desenvolvimento profissional de cada professor é único e pessoal, já que constituído por meio das experiências. O outro, o eu e a construção do eu com o outro – o lugar, são os eixos que sustentam o desenvolvimento profissional dos professores. É na alteridade que o professor se desenvolve. Portanto, se reconhecer na experiência na e com a escola é condição do desenvolvimento profissional do professor de música, sendo a experiência com o lugar o que constitui a toca. A toca é um lugar interno de formação, que, ao amalgamar formação pessoal e profissional, se torna lugar promotor do desenvolvimento profissional. Essa dinâmica do processo de desenvolvimento profissional se dá a partir da constituição da toca (ethos), da sua morada, em que os professores constroem lugar em si mesmos, constituindo-se biograficamente a partir da escola (lugar). A presente pesquisa procura dar maior visibilidade às relações do professor com a escola como base do desenvolvimento profissional do professor, pensando a escola não como um pano de fundo, mas na complexidade de sua dimensão espacial, tendo em vista compreender o processo em que se alia a formação com a atuação e fornecer pistas para pensar a formação de professores em cursos de licenciatura em música. / This research had as general objective to understand how the professional development process of music teacher occurs from its relation with the school of basic education. The conceptual view of place of Tuan and Lévy and Lussault, of professional development of Nóvoa and of biographical construction of Delory-Momberger, as well as autobiographical research and narratives constitute the theoretical-methodological reference of this research. The study was carried out through narrative interviews with four licensed teachers, which are experienced and active in basic education schools in Porto Alegre, RS. The analysis of the data was based on the macro-themes that emerged from the interview data: the work in the basic education school; the relationship with the school subjects - the other; the self-training. These macro themes are perceptible marks in the professional development process of the music teacher. The analysis indicates that the professional development of each teacher is unique and personal, since it is constituted through experiences. The other, the self and the construction of the self with the other - the place, are the axes that sustain the professional development of the teachers. It is in alterity that the teacher develops him/herself. Therefore, to recognize oneself in the experience at and with the school, there is a condition for the professional development of music teacher. This experience with the place is the toca. The toca is an internal place of formation, which, by amalgamating personal and professional formation becomes a promoter of professional development. These dynamics of the process of professional development comes from the constitution of the toca (ethos), of its dwelling, in which the teachers construct place in themselves, being constituted biographically from the school (place). The present research seeks to give greater visibility to the relations between the teacher and the school as a basis for the professional development of the teacher, thinking of the school not as a background, but of the complexity of its spatial dimension, as a way to understand the process in which it allies the training with the acting and providing clues to think about the training of teachers in undergraduate music courses.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender as imagens da docência de música na educação básica que emergem da literatura da área de educação musical. Fundamentado no conceito de profissionalização docente e em princípios da hermenêutica, o trabalho adota como estratégia de pesquisa a análise textual, tomando como objeto empírico 111 textos da Revista da ABEM, publicados entre 1992 e 2013. Os resultados indicam que a docência é abordada pela literatura a partir de uma diversidade de autores, instituições, procedimentos de produção, bases e fontes teóricas, além de uma multiplicidade de campos temáticos. A literatura sugere um interesse abrangente da área sobre a docência, ao mesmo tempo em que sinaliza uma possível dispersão em relação à produção sobre o tema ao longo dos vinte e um anos da publicação analisada. Predomina na literatura analisada o viés da formação e a permanência de pares, quais sejam, formação e atuação, teoria e prática, universidade e escola, saberes musicais e saberes pedagógicos, como dimensões a serem equilibradas e tratadas de modo conjunto e complementar. Conclui-se que, ao valorizar determinados aspectos – como garantias legais para a presença do ensino de música na escola; formação específica em música; reconhecimento dos sentidos da docência de música na formação das pessoas; presença de profissionais qualificados; e ações para a garantia do espaço do ensino de música nas escolas –, a área parece buscar a profissionalização docente. Porém, contradições percebidas na própria literatura, no que diz respeito a uma série de fundamentos e princípios que são propostos e à escassez de pesquisas sobre as realidades escolares, podem caracterizar a desprofissionalização da docência. As imagens da docência de música na educação básica que emergem da literatura analisada parecem se constituir a partir dessa dualidade: de um lado, uma idealização da profissão; de outro lado, as ausências: o que a própria literatura parece não apresentar, na direção daquilo que ela mesma sugere. Essa dualidade é expressa ao final do trabalho por meio de uma alegoria, a partir de duas cartas do tarô egípcio: O Mago e O Louco. / This research aims to understand the images of music teaching in basic education that emerge from the literature of music education. Based on the concept of professionalization and principles of hermeneutics, this work adopts the textual analysis as its research strategy. 111 papers published between 1992 and 2013 in Revista da ABEM (Brazilian Association of Music Education), the main journal of music education in Brazil, have been selected so far. The results indicate that teaching is addressed in the literature from a variety of authors, institutions, ways of elaborating the texts and theoretical basis and sources, and a plurality of thematic areas. This suggests a broad interest in teaching, but, at the same time, a possible dispersion of the production on the subject over the period under analysis. A tendency to treat teaching from the perspective of teachers’ education was identified, as well as the presence of some pairs, such as education and professional activity, theory and practice, university and school, musical knowledge and pedagogical knowledge, as dimensions to be balanced and treated together and in a complementary way. It follows that, by emphasizing certain aspects – such as legal guarantees for the presence of music education at school; specific training in music; recognition of the meanings of music teaching to people’s education; presence of qualified professionals; and actions to guarantee the space of music education in schools – the area seems to pursue the teacher professionalization. However, some contradictions in the literature itself were perceived, regarding some fundamentals and principles that are proposed and the lack of research about the school realities, that can characterize the deprofessionalization of teaching. The images of music teaching in basic education that emerge from the literature seem to be constituted from a duality: on the one hand, an idealization of the profession; on the other hand, some absences: what the literature itself seems not to present, in the direction of what it suggests. This duality is expressed at the end of this work through an allegory, from two cards from the Egyptian Tarot: The Magician and The Fool.
