Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / This PhD thesis entitled: BLACK TEACHERS: Imaginary, Territories and Borders in University Teaching, is part of the Post-Graduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Santa Maria (PPGE / UFSM), in the search line Training, Knowledge and Professional Development under the auspices of the Group of Studies and Research in Education and Social Imaginary (GEPEIS). The theme in question is justified by the need to meet and expand the studies and research involving the University Education Faculty of African Descent. The main aim was to investigate the Imaginary, Territories and Borders involving Teaching in University Teaching, in relation to Teaching, Research and Extension of these individuals, who experience a double place: Negro Lecturer and Researcher. The effectiveness of the proposed objectives in this research included the contributions of Bhabha (1998), Balandier (1997), Dubar (1997, 2005), Munanga (1988), Gomes (2010), Domingues (2007) in cultural studies; Bosi (1979, 1999) Meihy (2003), Josso (2010) in life stories; Ferry (1997), Vasconcelos (2000), Nóvoa (1995), and Tardiff (2002) in teacher training and studies conducted by the imaginary Castoriadis (1982, 1987, 1992, 2001, 2002, 2007), from two dimensions: social-historical and individual. Thus, this research seeks to understand, through introducing and instituting imaginary, the meanings constructed by black teachers about teaching in University Education. Thus, the data show the Teachers Knowledge and Process Training in the following categories: Schooling (Basic Education and Study and Work) Personal (Professional Choice, Family, Black Movement) and Experience (Educational Practice and Research Developed) that for coauthors were the main middleman instances of the discursive constitution of their professional identities process. In this study, I used qualitative research, descriptive nature, presenting as a case study representing a characteristic and peculiarity. In this sense, answers questions with realities that can not be quantified, because it works with a broad universe of meanings, motives, values and aspirations. For the study of the life history, which contains a complexity of experiences on different circumstances, used the methodology of oral history, from the aspect of Oral History of Life. The Oral History based on the record of events that occurred between the past and the present, or the past as renovated at present, a continuous process of new meanings phenomenon. In his reports, issues were revealed as: the instituting imaginary enlargement of the border zone of the condition of historical exclusion, schooling, and ethnic-racial issue as compared to preceding generations of black teachers. / Esta Tese de Doutoramento, intitulada: DOCENTES NEGROS: Imaginários, Territórios e Fronteiras no Ensino Universitário, insere-se no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (PPGE/UFSM), na linha de pesquisa Formação, Saberes e Desenvolvimento Profissional, sob a égide do Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Educação e Imaginário Social (GEPEIS). O tema em questão justifica-se pela necessidade de conhecer e ampliar os estudos e pesquisas que envolvem os Docentes Afrodescendentes no Ensino Universitário. O objetivo principal foi pesquisar os Imaginários, Territórios e Fronteiras que envolvem a Docência no Ensino Universitário, no que se refere ao Ensino, à Pesquisa e Extensão desses sujeitos, que vivenciam um duplo lugar: Docente Negro e Pesquisador. A efetivação dos objetivos propostos nesta investigação contou com as contribuições de Bhabha (1998), Balandier (1997), Dubar (1997, 2005), Munanga (1988), Gomes (2010), Domingues (2007) nos estudos culturais; Bosi (1979, 1999) Meihy (2003), Josso (2010) nas histórias de vida; Ferry (1997), Vasconcelos (2000), Nóvoa (1995), e Tardiff (2002) na formação de professores e os estudos do imaginário realizados por Castoriadis (1982, 1987, 1992, 2001, 2002, 2007), a partir de duas dimensões: a social-histórica e a individual. Assim, esta pesquisa busca compreender, através dos imaginários instituído e instituinte, os sentidos construídos pelos docentes negros sobre a docência no Ensino Universitário. Dessa forma, os dados mostram os Saberes Docentes e os Processos de Formação Profissional nas seguintes categorias: Escolarização (Educação Básica e Estudo e Trabalho), Pessoais (Escolha Profissional, Família, Movimento Negro) e Experiência Profissional (Prática Docente e Pesquisas Desenvolvidas), que, para os coautores, foram as principais instâncias atravessadoras do processo de constituição discursiva de suas identidades profissionais. Neste estudo, utilizei a pesquisa qualitativa, de cunho descritivo, apresentando-se como um estudo de caso que representa uma característica e uma particularidade. Nesse sentido, responde a questões com realidades que não podem ser quantificadas, pois trabalha com um universo amplo de significados, motivos, valores e aspirações. Para realizar o estudo da história de vida, que contém uma complexidade de experiências vividas sobre diferentes circunstâncias, utilizei a metodologia da História Oral, sob o aspecto da História Oral de Vida. A História Oral baseia-se no registro dos fatos ocorridos entre o passado e o presente, ou seja, o passado como fenômeno renovado no presente, num processo contínuo de novas significações. Em seus relatos, foram reveladas questões como: o imaginário instituinte da ampliação da zona fronteiriça da condição de exclusão histórica, da escolarização, e da questão étnico-racial em relação às gerações antecedentes dos docentes negros.

Kiswahili ni mojawapo ya lugha za Kiafrika zinazofundishwa nchini Marekani. Baada ya Vita Baridi kuisha na kuvunjika kwa muungano wa Sovieti, Marekani ilihimiza lugha fulani zifundishwe kwa maslahi ya mahitaji yake ya kiuchumi na usalama. Kutokana na kuanzishwa kwa lugha za Kiafrika katika elimu ya juu, vyuo vinavyofundisha lugha ya Kiswahili Marekani vimeongezaka kufikia zaidi ya hamsini. Katika makala hii tutaelezea ufundishaji wa lugha ya Kiswahili, utayarishaji wa walimu na vifaa, na matatizo yanayokumba ufundishaji wa Kiswahili (na lugha zingine za Kiafrika kwa jumla) kama lugha ya kigeni. Mwisho tutapendekeza njia za kusuluhisha kwa matatizo haya.

This diploma thesis aims to provide a rounded view of and information pertaining to the concept of individual preparation as part of a student's university education. The goal is to deliver wholesome theoretical materials in relation to individual preparation as part of a student's university education. The aim was to test the given hypothesis, which deal with the individual aspects of the individual preparation of university students. The work is split into a theoretical and practical section. The theoretical component covers definitions of concepts covering individual preparation as well as signposting university teaching itself. Further, it mentions teaching methods, feedback loops and the independence of the students themselves. These themes form the foundation of the practical section. The theoretical element has its basis in topical literature. The empirical section of the work stems from quantitative research, which defines how current individual preparation occurs in university students, whether it can be seen as typical for this type of education and whether there are any differences when it comes to considering degrees in either technical areas or the humanities. Data was gathered via questionnaires, which were then statistically analyzed. Respondents were approached randomly via the...

Kreativitätsförderung im Studium der Informatik ist eine zentrale Herausforderung, um Studierende auf Anforderungen in ihren zukünftigen Tätigkeitsfeldern vorzubereiten. Um einen systematischen Einsatz von digitalen Medien in der Kreativitätsförderung zu ermöglichen, wird im vorliegenden Beitrag eine Systematik entworfen und begründet, die entlang der Phasen und Aktivitäten eines kreativen Problemlösungsprozesses Möglichkeiten des systematischen Einsatzes digitaler Medien identifiziert. Dabei wird deutlich, dass zum einen eine Verknüpfung von Medien notwendig ist, um den Anforderungen an einen kreativen Problemlösungsprozess gerecht zu werden. Zum anderen müssen Mechanismen entwickelt werden, die auf den Aufbau einer längerfristigen Beziehung zwischen System und Benutzer abzielen, damit Interaktion zu neuen Funktionen und schließlich zur Herausbildung neuer Kontexte führen kann.

Service-learning, with a longstanding history in American higher education (Burkhardt & Pasque, 2005), includes three key tenets: superior academic learning, meaningful and relevant community service, and persistent civic learning (McGoldrick and Ziegert, 2002). The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has created an elective classification system – Carnegie Community Engagement Classification – for institutions of higher education to demonstrate the breadth and depth of student involvement and learning through partnerships and engagement in the community (Dalton & Crosby, 2011; Hurtado & DeAngelo, 2012; Kuh et al., 2008; Pryor, Hurtado, Saenz, Santos, & Korn, 2007). Community engagement "is in the culture, commonly understood practices and knowledge, and (CCEC helps determine) whether it is really happening – rhetoric versus reality" (J. Saltmarsh, personal communication, August 11, 2014). The study considers the applications of three Carnegie Community Engagement Classification designated institutions to understand the institutionalization of service-learning over time by examining the 2008 designation and 2015 reclassification across institution types – a Private Liberal Arts College, a Private Teaching University, and a Public Research University located in the same metropolitan area. Organizational Change Theory was used as a theoretical model. Case study methodology was used in the present qualitative research to perform document analysis with qualitative interviews conducted to elucidate the data from the 2008 and 2015 CCEC applications from the three institutions. Using intra- and inter-comparative analysis, this study highlights approaches, policies, ethos, and emerging concepts to inform how higher education institutions increase the quality and quantity of service-learning opportunities that benefit higher education practitioners as well as community leaders.
