Information literacy (IL) is recognized as the overall critical literacy for the 21st Century. Although large amounts of digital information are available, there is concern within higher education that students lack the competencies to assess and analyse sources in terms of relevance to their courses. Information literacy skills are of critical importance in teaching medical students to engage with evidence-based medicine (EBM), often within a problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum. Information practices that underpin academic and professional life should be embedded into the learning experience of the subject, and not taught extraneously in isolated silos. Attitudes of teaching staff at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand towards embedding evidence-based information literacy skills into the Graduate Entry Medical Programme 1 and 2 curriculum were examined. Existing integration of IL skills into the curriculum was shown to be limited, and not as high as perceived by educators. Five barriers against the integration of IL skills, and six opportunities for embedding information literacy, were identified in the curriculum. Awareness of evidence-based practice was found to be high, and collaborative teaching of IL skills with librarians was accepted by a large majority of educators. Dynamic Purposeful Learning (DPL) was proposed as a constructivist framework into which collaborative teaching of IL skills could be placed. DPL draws on active and collaborative learning, as well as cognitive scaffolding and apprenticeship, and is suited to PBL in the context of medical education.

Tautinis tapatumas yra vienas iš asmens tapatumo aspektų, kurį lemia šešiamečio refleksyvūs apmąstymai „kas aš“. Vaikas savąją tapatybę ima suvokti artimiausioje socialinėje aplinkoje (šeimoje ir ugdymo(si) įstaigoje). Todėl šiame darbe nagrinėjami priešmokyklinio amžiaus vaikų refleksyvaus tapatinimosi su tauta apmąstymai, tėvų ir ikimokyklinio ugdymo pedagogų požiūris į vaikų tautiškumo ugdymą(si). Tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti 5-6 metų amžiaus vaikų tapatinimosi su tauta situaciją ir problemas. Siekiant įgyvendinti šį tikslą iškelti uždaviniai: 1. Nustatyti 5-6metų vaikų savęs priskyrimo tautai (tapatumo) bruožus. 2. Išsiaiškinti tėvų išskiriamus vaikų tautinio ugdymo(si) veiksnius ir prioritetus. 3. Išanalizuoti ikimokyklinio ugdymo(si) įstaigų pedagogų išskiriamus vaikų tautiškumo puoselėjimo veiksnius ir prioritetus. 4. Palyginti vaikų, tėvų ir pedagogų pateiktus vaikų tautinio ugdymo(si) ypatumus. Šiems uždaviniams įgyvendinti buvo išnagrinėti 235 tiriamųjų iš penkių Lietuvos miestų (Birž��, Marijampolės, Šilutės, Šiaulių ir Vilniaus) samprotavimai: 82 priešmokyklinio amžiaus vaikų, 68 ikimokyklinių ugdymo(si) pedagogų ir 85 tėvų.

A child‘s perception about the national identity appears in his/her close social environment (the family and/or an educational institution). That is why the work analyses the children‘s of pre-school age identity with the nation of as well as parents‘ and teachers‘ attitude towards the education in national identity of the children. The objective of the analysis is to measure the points of reflexive identity among six-year old children. The following tasks have been set to implement the main objective of the thesis: - Set the features of identity with the nation among the children at pre-school age. - Define the factors and priorities of national education distinguished among the parents of the children mentioned above. - Analyse the factors and priorities the teaching staff distinguish while fostering the national identity in children. Totally 235 respondees have presented their considerations which helped to reach the result of the work: i.e. 82 children of the pre-school age, 68 members of teaching staff working in pre-school education institutions and 85 parents. The analysis has resulted in the following: - the children distinguished food, Lithuanian script and friends among the language and origin as national identity features; - following the parents‘ opinion the basic factors of the education in national...

yes / University lecturers are required to undertake teaching and also to produce high quality papers for REF. This can be a very hard situation, especially for early career researchers. They always face the diplomas of no starting-up funding and no man power to start a new research area. This could be very challenging. Apart from constantly pursing funding and establishing collaboration, I integrated student research projects teaching into my own research. I summarise main points which help me to achieve. 1) Designing a multidisciplinary project. Research informed teaching is the key to success. Based on my own research plan, I designed interdisciplinary project to attract students with particular attention to decompose comprehensive research proposal into small parts which is achievable within students’ ability and time scale. For example, in the past two years I designed a series projects for final year undergraduates and MSc students based on my own projects of “interaction of nanoparticle with cell membrane”. Within these projects, students will have chance to expose themselves to research. For example, students will be able to explore new research area of nanotechnology, especially on nanoparticles; basic biological lab skills like cell culture, treating cells with toxins; and physiological implication of nanoparticles interacting with human body etc. These greatly inspire students thinking. At the meantime, giving student freedom and full supervision allow them to be successful. Through carefully supervision I am confident that I could get preliminary data from students’ experiments for my grant application. 2) Integrating resources to exert full. I deliberately arranged students at different levels to join in my own project at different stages. For example, final year undergraduate projects starts from Oct every year and last till March, then MSc project starts from Feb every year and last till August. I also apply for small funds to have summer students from July to Sept. Therefore I can always have students doing some experiment in the lab. The budgets from student projects are really good boost and supplementary for my own project. There is also a consistency in the projects to avoid waste and unnecessary repeat. I included students in materials, equipment preparation and explained key updated skills to increase students’ passion and to inform them of how to start a new topic from scratch. 3) Setting high standard to achieve. I continuously encourage students to achieve. It would be great to have someone who can work through whole period of your new research proposal. I particularly encourage students to design experiments, to deliver ideas, to write scientific reports for conference, and even to draft paper for submission. This would not only help students for their future career but also help myself to quickly build up my own research. It is hard process but worth.

The aim of the thesis is to find ways of promoting common development of teachers in the context of criteria for evaluating school quality from the perspective of the Czech School Inspection. Finds ways to support the development of teaching staff from the school principal, and the subsequent confrontation with the newly formulated criteria and indicators issued by the Czech School Inspectorate, which should be defined so. Good school. The theoretical part defines basic terms: the headmaster and teachers, including their competencies and development of teachers. There are also discussed the criteria and indicators of school quality assessment from the perspective of the Czech School Inspection. In the research part of the master is using the survey to determine how the director of the kinder gardens promotes the development of teaching staff and if there is a system that corresponds with the criteria and indicators for assessing the quality of schools by the Czech School inspection focused on the development of teaching staff.

No. of bitstreams: 1 CRISTIANO ALEXANDRE DOS SANTOS.pdf: 1197784 bytes, checksum: feb1511c59a27ba71ce59538aba4a511 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-08-12 / The theme of this study is the politic dimension at the professor of Teaching Qualification in History at UEG UnUs (University Unit) at Cidade de Goiás and Morrinhos between 1999 e 2010. Understanding how the politic dimension integrates the professor s identity of the course of Teaching Qualification in History at UEG is the main goal. The social relevance of the theme is in the fact of calling attention to the professor to take on, among his responsibilities, the politic commitment aiming at the social transformation. Understanding how the process of weakness of the politic aspects found in the modernity hits the teaching staff of the courses of Teaching Qualification in History at UEG was the problem of this research which demanded a line of the following purposes: find, in literature, the different approaches about the meaning of politics in modernity; recognize the liking between the education and politics, identifying the characteristics of the professor as intellectual committed pedagogically and politically with the teaching staff work; understand the objectives of higher of education, especially at UEG; analyze the politic dimension of the professor of Teaching Qualification in History of the University Units at Cidade de Goiás and Morrinhos. The method of dialect materialism was adopted as a line of investigation. In the point of view of the approach form of the object, the research is qualitative with analyses of interviews with professors and students. The guide categories of this research were: politics and university teaching staff. The axis that guides the theoretical referential are: a) conception of politics, with the support in Finer (1981), Negt and Kluge (1999), Bobbio (2000), Marx (2002), Dallari (2004) and Arendt (2007a; 2007b; 2008); b) principles of higher education and UEG based on Ferreira (1995), Silva (1995), Vieira (2000) and Catani and Oliveira (2002); c) the University as a political space with support in Brzezinski (1987; 1996; 2002), Gramsci (1989) and Portelli (1997); d) the weakness in the political aspects at the modern society with support in works of Marx (1980; 2002; 2006; 2007), Coelho (1986), Enguita (1991), Gaparini (1995) and Antunes (2001). The conclusions pointed that the university is essentially a public space where scientific, pedagogical and political activities must be materialized. The responsibility with the political education is being hindered by factors like the alienation process which involves the History Professors at UEG by the proletariation of their functions, by the definition of the person as apolitical or individualist and by the incorporation of neo-liberal referential. / O tema deste estudo é a dimensão política no(a) professor(a) da Licenciatura em História nas UnUs de Goiás e Morrinhos da UEG entre 1999 e 2010. Compreender como a dimensão política integra a identidade do professor do curso de Licenciatura em História da UEG é o objetivo geral. A relevância social do tema encontra-se no fato de chamar a atenção do professor universitário para assumir, entre suas responsabilidades, o compromisso político visando à transformação social. Compreender como o processo de fragilização dos aspectos políticos presentes na modernidade atinge o docente dos cursos de Licenciatura em História da UEG, consistiu o problema dessa investigação que exigiu o traçado dos seguintes objetivos: identificar, na literatura, as diferentes abordagens acerca do sentido da política na modernidade; reconhecer o vínculo entre educação e política, identificando as características do professor universitário como intelectual comprometido pedagógica e politicamente com o trabalho docente; compreender os objetivos do Ensino Superior, particularmente na UEG; analisar a dimensão política do professor do curso de Licenciatura em História das Unidades Universitárias da cidade de Goiás e Morrinhos. Adotou-se como trajetória de investigação o método do materialismo dialético. Do ponto de vista da forma de abordagem do objeto, a pesquisa é qualitativa com análise de entrevistas com professores e alunos. As categorias norteadoras deste trabalho foram: política e docência universitária. Os eixos que orientam o referencial teórico são: a) a concepção de política, com apoio em Finer (1981), Negt e Kluge (1999), Bobbio (2000), Marx (2002), Dallari (2004) e Arendt (2007a; 2007b; 2008); b) princípios de ensino superior e a UEG, com base em Ferreira (1995), Silva (1995), Vieira (2000) e Catani e Oliveira (2002); c) a universidade como espaço político, com apoio em Brzezinski (1987; 1996; 2002), Gramsci (1989) e Portelli (1997); d) a fragilização dos aspectos políticos na sociedade moderna com amparo nos trabalhos de Marx (1980; 2002; 2006; 2007), Coelho (1986), Enguita (1991), Gaparini (1995) e Antunes (2001). As conclusões apontam que a universidade é essencialmente um espaço público onde devem ser materializadas atividades científicas, pedagógicas e políticas. A responsabilidade com a formação política vem sendo dificultada por fatores como o processo de alienação que envolve os professores do curso de História da UEG pela proletarização de suas funções, pela definição do ser como apolítico ou individualista e pela incorporação dos referenciais neoliberais.

Este estudo teve a intenção de compreender as ações e os projetos dos docentes enfermeiros e docentes de outras áreas da saúde em um curso de graduação em enfermagem. Nessa perspectiva, os sujeitos envolvidos foram quatro docentes enfermeiros e quatro docentes de outras áreas da saúde que vivenciaram a situação da docência, sendo, por isso, capazes de atribuir significados às suas experiências. A obtenção dos discursos foi feita por meio de duas questões norteadoras: “Como tem sido suas ações docentes neste curso de Enfermagem? O que você espera agindo desta forma?" O referencial de análise utilizado foi a fenomenologia social de Alfred Schütz. Os discursos levaram à construção do mesmo tipo vivido dos docentes enfermeiros e de dos docentes de outras áreas da saúde como sendo aqueles que desejam colaborar no crescimento pessoal do aluno e o vêem como futuro profissional; que atuam com um perfil de alunos com bagagem de conhecimentos e experiências heterogêneas; que acreditam que ser docente é também ser pesquisador; que têm a intenção de fornecer os conteúdos programáticos propostos pela disciplina; que demonstram grande preocupação e interesse em diversificar as estratégias de ensino; que agem tendo a visão de que ser docente é acreditar na valorização e respeito à diversidade de alunos mas que também vivenciam sentimentos distintos. Pode-se constatar que a reciprocidade das ações e dos projetos desses sujeitos reforça a importância da composição de um corpo docente multiprofissional, validando o conceito da interdisciplinaridade e desmistificando a idéia de que o fazer dos docentes enfermeiros seja diferente do fazer dos docentes de outras áreas da saúde / This study aimed to understand the attitudes and projects of a nursing teaching staff and the ones from other healthcare areas of a nursing undergraduate course. In this perspective, the subjects of this study were 4 nursing teachers and 4 other healthcare teachers who faced this situation, in which they were able to evaluate their experiences. Discourses were obtained by guiding questions: How have your teaching attitudes been in this nursing course? What do you expect acting this way? It was used the social phenomenology by Alfred Schütz as referential of analysis. The discourses led to build the same kind experienced by the nursing teaching staff and the ones from other healthcare areas as the person who wants to collaborate for the students’ self-growth and see him/her as a future professional, who works with a student’s profile that has heterogeneous knowledge and experience background, who believes that being a teacher is also being a researcher, who intends to provide program content proposed by the discipline, who show much concern and interest in diversifying the teaching strategies, who act keeping in mind that being a teacher is believing in value and respect the diversity of students that live distinct feelings. It’s possible to establish that reciprocity of attitudes and projects of these subjects reinforce the importance of a interdisciplinary teaching staff composition, validating the concept of interdisciplinary and, hence, breaking up the idea that teaching staff work must be different from the ones from other healthcare areas

A tese "A PRÁTICA DA PESQUISA NO PROCESSO DE FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES EM PEDAGOGIA: um desafio ao docente do ensino superior para a formação de um profissional reflexivo" investigou como os cursos de Pedagogia estão organizando seus processos pedagógicos de modo a contribuir na formação de profissionais reflexivos e quais as estratégias pedagógicas docentes que podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento deste profissional. Fundamentaram basicamente esse estudo os aportes teóricos nacionais de Demo, Anastasiou & Alves e Krahe ; e Schön, Alarcão e Tardif como internacionais. A coleta de dados foi realizada em duas Universidades (privada e federal) tendo como foco principal o curso de Pedagogia presencial. O instrumento para coleta dos dados junto às coordenações e docentes dos cursos foi a entrevista semi-estruturada. Trata-se de um estudo de caráter exploratório-descritivo e utilizamos o método de análise de conteúdo para tratamento dos dados. Este estudo constatou que: os cursos de Pedagogia se configuram como estruturas institucionais de apoio à gestão e implementação de propostas de aprendizagem inovadoras com base em concepções ético-políticas emancipatórias; a análise dos dados dos docentes e coordenação do curso de Pedagogia evidenciou que a articulação entre IES, Curso de Pedagogia e práticas docentes se faz necessária na formação dos profissionais reflexivos, que a organização curricular deve abarcar institucionalmente objetivos, princípios e ações para que as estratégias empregadas nos espaços pedagógicos transcendam iniciativas. Constatou-se que na IES pública, a articulação se manifesta com maior veemência nos depoimentos docentes. Quanto ao perfil do professor reflexivo os docentes demonstraram conhecimentos sobre o assunto e algumas competências são apresentadas para a necessária imbricagem entre o ensino e a prática da pesquisa para a formação deste profissional. Foram relatadas estratégias vivenciadas na prática pedagógica que podem contribuir neste processo e destacadas que, fundamentalmente, nenhuma delas dará conta desta formação se os conhecimentos não estiverem articulados às práticas sociais dos educandos. Este estudo concluiu que há muito mais a ser pesquisado nesta área se desejamos a formação de profissionais competentes, conscientes de seus desafios enquanto permanentes pesquisadores de suas próprias ações. / The thesis "THE PRACTICE OF RESEARCH IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT OF PROFESSORS IN PEDAGOGY: a challenge to the higher education teaching staff for the development of a reflective professional" investigated how the Pedagogy courses are organizing their pedagogical processes in order to contribute to the development of reflective professionals and which pedagogical strategies from the teaching staff may foster the development of this professional. This study was basically based on the national theoretical base of Demo, Anastasiou & Alves and Krahe; and Schön, Alarcão and Tardif as international. The data collection was carried out in two Universities (private and federal), focusing mainly on the Presence Pedagogy course. The instrument for data collection at the coordination departments and teaching staff was the semistructured interview. It is an exploratory-descriptive study and the method used was content analysis for treatment of data. This study has verified that: the courses of Pedagogy represent institutional structures that support the management and implementation of innovative learning purposes based on emancipatory ethicalpolitical conceptions; data analysis of the teaching staff and coordination of the Pedagogy course has proved that the articulation amongst IES, Pedagogy course and teaching practices is necessary in the development of reflective professionals, that the curricular organization must embrace institutionally objectives, principles and actions so that the strategies employed in pedagogical spaces transcend initiatives. It was demonstrated that at the public IES, the articulation manifests with greater vehemence in the teaching staff testimonies. Regarding the reflective professor's profile the teaching staff demonstrated knowledge about the subject and some abilities are presented for the necessary involvement between the teaching and the practice of research for the development of this professional. Strategies experienced in pedagogical practice which may contribute in this process were reported and highlighted that, fundamentally, none of those will be able to meet this qualification if the knowledge is not articulated to social practices of the learners. This study concludes that there is a lot more to be researched in this field if we wish the development of competent professionals, aware of their challenges while permanent researchers of their own actions.
