This research was developed in the city of Santa Catarina in a Basic Inclusive School where deaf education policy is performed in Elementary School in the first to ninth-grade and in High school. This is a case study for 12 year old preteen with deafblindness with Usher syndrome who studies in an Association of sensorineural deafness and acquired blindness as a result of Retinitis Pigmentosa. In the year 201, the student attended the 5th grade, in bilingual mode (only for deaf). In 6th grade (2012) in mixed class (with listeners). In the bilingual class the teacher, teaches in sign language as first language and the Portuguese, as second one. Already in the inclusive class the language used is Portuguese with the presence of an educational interpreter. It was used visual resources in the accessible instructional materials for the contents of the subjects. The bilingual students took advantage by the materials. Data collection consisted of the interview with the family, with the student, and the teacher. Also pre and post student s intervention with the application of functional vision instrument. Observations were conducted in different situations and in different spaces. The obtained results were analyzed qualitatively taking as a criterion the student s own performance analysis. The student makes use of sign language easily. He presented the first symptoms of Usher syndrome: dazzing in some situations which implied difficulty to adapt to bright; decreased peripheral vision and night blindness. In the process of perception of the difficulties he doesn t see as deafblind but like a deaf. During the collection of data it was observed signs of decrease in the peripheral vision, in the locomotion, and in the sign language when the colleague uses it in his side. The results suggest that the materials used in the classroom were mainly appropriate for the amplified material with 12 points to 20 or 20 points letters as gradual exposure in different sizes. The Times New Roman font was modified to the Arial font one and after to Verdana because the changes provided more suitable traits. The results indicate, therefore, that the accessible visual resources were used properly. However, there is no support of optical and non-optical resources by the institution on this new reality: the presence of the student with Usher syndrome, in the classroom, and his constitutional right is guaranteed. / O objetivo desse trabalho foi analisar a eficiência das adaptações visuais nas atividades apresentadas para o aluno com surdocegueira por Síndrome de Usher e seu impacto na escolarização. Essa pesquisa foi desenvolvida em uma cidade de Santa Catarina em uma Escola Básica Inclusiva onde a Política de Educação de Surdos, é executada no Ensino Fundamental da primeira a nona série e no Ensino Médio. Trata-se de um estudo de caso de um pré-adolescente 12 anos, com surdocegueira por Síndrome de Usher, que é uma associação de surdez neurossensorial e cegueira adquirida como consequência da Retinose Pigmentar. No ano de 2011 frequentou a 5ª série, na modalidade bilingue (somente surdos) e na 6ª série (2012) em turma mista (surdos e ouvintes). Na classe bilingue a professora, ministra as disciplinas em Língua de Sinais como primeira língua e o Português, como segunda. Já na classe mista a língua de instrução é o Português com a presença de um intérprete educacional. Utilizou-se de recursos visuais acessíveis nos materiais instrucionais nos conteúdos das disciplinas e aproveitados por todos os alunos da turma bilíngue. A coleta de dados constou de entrevista com a família, com o aluno e a professora, avaliação pré e pós - intervenção do participante com a aplicação do instrumento de Avaliação Funcional da Visão. Realizaram-se observações em diversas situações e em diferentes espaços. Os dados obtidos foram analisados qualitativamente tomando como critério para a análise o desempenho do próprio participante. Faz uso da Língua de Sinais com desenvoltura. Apresenta os primeiros sintomas da Síndrome de Usher: deslumbramento em algumas situações o que implica na dificuldade para adaptar-se à luz brilhante; diminuição da visão periférica e cegueira noturna. No processo de percepção das suas dificuldades não se vê como surdocego e sim como surdo. Durante a coleta de dados foi observado indícios de diminuição na visão periférica na locomoção e na leitura de Libras quando o colega usa língua de sinais ao seu lado. Os resultados sugerem que os materiais utilizados em sala de aula foram adequados principalmente na ampliação do material impresso com letras de 12 pontos para 20 ou 22 pontos, conforme exposição gradual a diferentes tamanhos. A fonte Times New Roman foi modificada para a fonte Arial e, posteriormente, para Verdana porque as mudanças proporcionaram traços mais adequados. Os resultados indicam, portanto, que os recursos visuais acessíveis foram utilizados adequadamente. Entretanto, não existe um apoio de recursos ópticos e não ópticos pela Instituição diante dessa nova realidade: a presença do aluno com Síndrome de Usher, na sala de aula, para que o seu direito constitucional seja exercido.

In this diploma thesis I look at the Analysis of selected textbook health education through the eyes of teachers who use it in their lessons. The theoretical part of this thesis serves as an introduction to the complex topic of textbooks and lays out the criteria according to which a textbook is chosen. In the practical part I carry out a didactic analysis of the textbook and I present a summary of experience of teachers who have worked with it. The practical part shows that teachers's experience does not differ significantly from the findings of the didactic analysis. The textbook's unusual approach to teaching health education is prominent in both surveys. This thesis aims to help junior health education teachers decide whether and how this particular textbook will benefit their own teaching method. KEYWORDS analysis of textbooks, teaching resources, textbooks, function and structure of textbooks, textbook evaluation

Questões relacionadas aos materiais instrucionais têm sido bastante discutidas em trabalhos reportados na literatura. Sabe-se que o Livro Didático é um dos materiais mais utilizados nas aulas de química, uma vez que norteia toda a prática docente, desde a escolha do conteúdo até o processo de avaliação. No estado de São Paulo, um novo material chegou às escolas para auxiliar as práticas pedagógicas do professor e contribuir para a aprendizagem dos alunos: Caderno do Professor e Caderno do Aluno. Nesta perspectiva, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo geral investigar as relações que o professor de química estabelece com os materiais instrucionais, em especial, com o Livro Didático e os Cadernos do Estado. Para tanto, foram entrevistados 11 professores de química do município de São Paulo que atuam em escolas públicas. Os dados foram analisados a partir das ideias de \'violência primária\' e \'violência secundária\' de Aulagnier (1975), e dos \'patamares de aprendizagem de Villani e Barolli (2000a; 2000b). A partir dos resultados obtidos verificamos que as maneiras pelas quais os materiais instrucionais se inserem na prática pedagógica do professor dependem de alguns elementos, tais como contexto do ensino, concepções de formação e demandas dos alunos. Percebemos que a introdução dos Cadernos do Aluno criou uma perturbação na ação pedagógica, enquanto que o Livro Didático ainda representa o conhecimento científico escolar. Ficou evidente que a sala de aula não é espaço neutro, pelo contrário, é um espaço cheio de confrontos de pontos de vista, de identidades, de valores e de percepções. Lidar com as divergências e diferenças pressupõe, no entender da nossa pesquisa, abordar criticamente os diferentes materiais que os professores vão incorporar à sua prática. Podemos concluir que independentemente do que for imposto aos professores, eles buscarão atalhos que lhes permitam satisfazer suas demandas. / Issues related to instructional materials have been widely discussed in studies in the literature. It is known that the Textbook is one of the materials most commonly used in chemistry classes, since it guides the whole teaching practice, from the choice of content to the evaluation process. To assist the teacher\'s pedagogical practices and contribute to the students learning a new material has been used in Sao Paulo State: The Teacher\'s and Student\'s Notebook. In this perspective, the present study aims at investigating the relationships that the chemistry teacher establishes with the instructional materials, in particular with the Textbook and Notebooks provided by the government. Eleven public school chemistry teachers of São Paulo were interviewed. Data were analyzed according to the ideas of \'primary\' and \'secondary violence\' proposed by Aulagnier (1975) and the \'levels of learning\' from Barolli Villani (2000a, 2000b). The results show that the ways in which instructional materials are included in the teacher\'s pedagogical practice depends on several factors, such as the context of teaching, training concepts and demands of the students. We realize that the introduction of the Student\'s Notebook created a disturbance in the pedagogical action, whereas the Textbook still represents the school\'s scientific knowledge. It was evident that the classroom is not neutral space, it is instead, full of different points of view, identities, values and perceptions. Dealing with disagreements and differences requires a critically approach of the different materials that teachers will incorporate into their practice. We conclude that teachers will seek shortcuts to meet their demands regardless of what is imposed on them.

In this paper we examine an Australian project in which we seek to develop leadership capacity in staff and students throughout the country, such that they may contribute to and lead others to contribute to the development and sharing of learning support resources for mathematics and statistics across disciplines and universities. One of the tangible outputs is a set of video based learning support resources that can be embedded in subjects across disciplines and shared across institutions. However the guiding aim is to develop leadership capacity, in its simplest form leading others to lead others to contribute to the project. Leadership may also be developed and exercised across different aspects of the project whether it be mapping needs, drawing together disciplines groups, finding ways to recognise and reward those engaged in the process, developing resources and the associated skills, ensuring copyright adherence, creating learning designs for optimal use of resources, evaluating the impact on student outcomes, peer review and the dissemination of findings.

According to the South African Schools Act no 86 or 1994, school governing bodies determine the official language used as Language of Learning and Teaching (LoLT) in public schools. Black community primary schools use home language in the Foundation Phase, and switch to English from the fourth grade. This study investigates Zulu as LoLT in the Foundation Phase in selected township primary schools in Gauteng East District. A qualitative inquiry used semi-structured interviews to collect data from Grade Three teachers. Findings were that educators welcomed use of learner’s Home Language as LoLT; due to diverse linguistic backgrounds of teachers and learners, Zulu was not used effectively in classrooms; code switching to English was prevalent; parent involvement was poor due to parents’ lack of Zulu proficiency and learning and teaching materials were mainly in English. The review of school language policies and the provision of multiple medium classes to accommodate language diversity were recommended. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Early Childhood Development)
