O estudo faz um recorte em relação ao tema, envolvendo três eixos fundantes: A Universidade e a Formação de Professores, os Saberes da Profissão Docente e a Aprendizagem Significativa, examinados com apoio em Gimeno Sacristán (1998, 2005, 2007), Cunha (1989,1998,1999,2001,2006,2007), Rios (1993, 2006), Pérez Gómez (2001), Tardif (1991,2000,2002), Nóvoa (1989,1990,1991,1992,2008), Freire (1986,1994,1996) Pimenta (1999,2002,2005), Marcelo García (1999), Schön (1992,2000), Ausubel (1968,1978,2003), Anastasiou (2002, 2007). O estudo usa, como lócus de análise, coleta de dados, espaço de compreensão da formação inicial, os cursos de licenciatura em Letras, Pedagogia, História e Ciências Biológicas da Universidade Regional Integrada do Alto Uruguai e das Missões-URI, Campus de Santo Ângelo-RS. O trabalho constitui-se num estudo qu / This research aims to investigate the university and a meaningful learning process, hearing from university professors the way they conduct the learning process. The study is divided into three axes: The University and the acquisition of knowledge by Professors, The Professional Knowledge in the Teaching Process and the significant Learning, examined after a deep study of Gimeno Sacristán (1998, 2005, 2007), Cunha (1989, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2006, 2007), Rios (1993, 2006), Pérez Gómez (2001), Tardif(1991, 2000, 2002), Nóvoa (1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2008), Freire (1986, 1994, 1996) Pimenta (1999, 2002, 2005), Marcelo García(1999), Schön (1992,2000), Ausubel (1968,1978,2003), Anastasiou (2002, 2007). The research uses data sampling, first educational years, Language graduation courses, Pedagogy, History and Pedagogy offered at the Universidade Regional Integrada do Alto Uruguai e das Missões - URI de Santo Ângelo-RS. The research is based on a qualitative study in which questionnaires were used by undergraduate s

Japanese non-native English-speaking EFL (English as a foreign language) teachers in secondary education (JEFL teachers) work in a different educational context from language teachers in Europe. The purpose of this exploratory research is to identify the distinctive ways in which JEFL teachers think, know, believe and do. These concepts are subsumed under the general heading of JEFL teacher cognition, particularly as this applies to teaching and teacher education in Eigo Kyoiku (English education in Japan). The overall purpose of exploring JEFL teachers’ cognitions is reflected in four research guiding questions (RQs): 1) to identify the nature of JEFL teacher cognition; 2) to see any particular influences that might help shape JEFL teacher cognition; 3) to learn to what extent JEFL teachers’ cognitions are consistent with their actual practice of teaching; and 4) to discuss the ways in which the concept of language teacher cognition (LTC) may be understood and situated in the Japanese context. The research consisted of two studies: a) a quantitative Preliminary Study administered to 62 JEFL teachers and 81 modern foreign language (MFL) teachers in Scotland, in order to identify any areas regarding JEFL teacher cognition; and b) an in-depth Main Study based on a qualitative and ethnographic approach, featuring 10 JEFL teachers. This made use of qualitative data analysis and the applied KJ method, and also drew on complexity theory, through reflective and reflexive processes with particular reference to retrodictive qualitative modelling (RQM). The results of the Main Study are presented as 16 concept maps, each of which represents a featured aspect of JEFL teacher cognition (ATC). It represents the signature dynamics of each ATC and points to the variation and tension which JEFL teachers experienced in relation to each ATC. The research suggests that, although LTC have certain universal characteristics, it needs to be explored on the assumption that it is situated socially, culturally, locally and personally.

The study was an investigation into the teaching decisions that mathematics teachers make over time. I view a mathematics classroom as a didactical system of teacher, learners and content within an educational institution, where content is the material that brings teachers and learners together. Within such a system I view the teacher's role as making content available to learners. Prior research has often investigated the teacher's role by comparing teaching practices nationally or internationally, but these comparisons have tended to use the lesson as the unit of analysis. I propose that how teachers make content available can change over the course of a series of lessons and so my study used the lesson series as the unit of analysis. I purposefully designed the study so that it involved four cases, which allowed me to explore the role of the teacher and the topic in how content was made available. To investigate how teachers made content available to learners in each case, I developed an analytical approach from which I could study the modes of teacher interaction that featured across the lesson series, the forms of mathematical content made available and the sequencing of these forms. Attending to forms of content - rather than content itself - allowed for comparison of teaching of different topics. This original analytical approach represents a contribution to both mathematics education and mixed methods research. Within this small sample of cases, quantifiable differences were identified in how content was made available between classwork and seatwork, from lesson to lesson and between cases. Between-case differences in the nature of teaching 'between-the-desks' during seatwork were also identified. These differences illuminated teaching decisions to which teachers and classroom researchers may not routinely attend. The findings therefore contribute - and identify additional lines of enquiry that might contribute further - to a more extensive understanding of teaching practices.

Os professores sujeitos desta investigação participaramem 2014, do programa de formação continuada no âmbito do Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa (PNAIC) e atuamna rede pública do município deRecife/PE. Para isso, fizemos a identificação dos conhecimentos pedagógicos geral, pedagógico do conteúdo e do currículo mobilizados por estes professores caracterizando as formas de organização de ensino presentes nas aulas de Matemática. O pressuposto teórico sobre o qual nos reclinamos são as teoriasda base do conhecimento do professor sobrevindas das pesquisas de Lee S. Shulman. Esta pesquisa nos levou também a identificar como a Matemática é abordada em sala de aula, a escolha e uso dos recursos didáticos (com destaque:livro didático, o quadroe o caderno) e o conhecimento presente no raciocínio pedagógico doprofessor.A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de observações de aulas, registros no Caderno de Observação e entrevistas semiestruturadas.A partir dos dados coletados, sinalizamos que a prática do professor é singulare tem sido pouco guiada pelos elementos que deveriam ser norteadores da atividade docente:planejamento e currículo. Percebemos que o professor precisa desenvolver em base do conhecimento denovas estratégias que ultrapassem a priorização do ensino de outras áreas de conhecimento em detrimento da Matemática, a maior ênfase em um bloco de conteúdos e o trabalho que perceba e envolva a Matemática além da que é trabalhada formalmente e explicitamente. / This research's objective is to analyze mathematics teaching techniques of three Literacy Cycle teachers. These teachers, the research subjects, participated during 2014 of a continued education program under the Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização da Idade Certa (PNAIC) andare acting in public schools in the city of Recife/Pe. To accomplish it, we identified the general pedagogical knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and curriculum knowledge mobilized by polyvalent teachers that act in the Literacy Cycle characterizing the way teaching is organized in mathematic classes. The theoretical assumption in which we are inclined is that the teacher's knowledge base is that of Lee S. Shulman’s research. The field work was done through class observations, records in the observation notepad, and semi-structured interviews. This research also leadedus to identify how mathematics is explored inside the classroom, the didactic resources use and choice (with feature: the book, board and notebook) and pedagogical reasoning behind teacher knowledge. Based on the data collected, we noticed teacher’spractice is unique and has not been as guided as it should be by the teacher’sactivity elements: planning and curriculum. We realized teacher needs to developthroughknowledge base new strategies to surpass: other knowledge areas teaching prioritization but math, focus better in one specific content block and the mathematics perception and involvement worked mostly formally and in an explicit way.
