This empirical research study focuses on the qualities of resilient adolescents in a technical school. The study indicates why some adolescents in a technical school are resilient, while other adolescents in this technical school are not resilient. Thirty resilient and thirty non-resilient adolescents in a technical school were chosen to participate in the empirical study. The empirical study consisted of quantitative research (a questionaire that was completed by the sixty adolescents), and qualitative research (three chosen resilient adolescents took part in an interview). This study is therefore a mixed methods study. The conclusions of the study were supported by the literature. The qualities of the resilient adolescent in a technical school are similar to the qualities of resilient adolescents in other contexts. Resilient adolescents in this technical school were characterized by protective factors and processes that had their roots in the individual, the community, culture and relationships. This study is an explorative study. More rigorous research is needed before this study's findings can be generalised. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2008.

A personal conviction that Victorian secondary technical education was not necessarily “second rate” prompted this study - the history of Shepparton South Technical School. This thesis examines the evolution of a secondary technical school until its demise under the 1982 to 1989 State Labor Government. The technical schools were under threat from their inception following the 1910 Education Act. The first Chief Inspector of Technical Instruction, Donald Clark, warned that their executive school councils and their links with the senior technical colleges were bulwarks against their extinction. Clark argued that there was a need for strong leadership and vigilance if they were to retain their distinctive philosophy. The wording of the 1910 Education Act did not specify the development of a dual system. Yet the tech schools flourished because they were popular with boys and parents, because of their executive Councils, and because of their relationship with industry. The junior techs evolved into secondary techs during the 1950s and 60s, staffed by teachers with industrial experience who were qualified to teach apprentices, as well as the junior students. A Board of Inspectors of Technical Schools travelled throughout Victoria to disseminate information and mentor technical school staff. DTE Ted Jackson’s 1970 policy gave principals unprecedented autonomy to respond to the needs of young people within their local community.

All this development is being perceived in everyday schools and find out what are the reasons influencing the change of the curriculum of technical courses at a school founded in the fifties and how technology is in it is the objective of this project which raises the initial hypotheses of determinants that bring about this change as performance of the faculty members, composed of a majority of teachers working in the labor market, the vocation of the school or the requirement of the labor market. This research will also address the challenges of the school to adapt to the world of technology and especially the importance of the teacher to support that change as the protagonist, along with their students. As this is a technical school, there is the close and necessary relationship with the labor market, with a reference to employability and technology education, which requires a pre-defined curriculum to meet the labor market, but that changes frequently because of its educational nature. To arrive at conclusions, we analyzed official documents governing the national vocational education, school documents, meetings, focus groups and questionnaires with students and interviews with teachers and coordinators. There has been a dialogue between "speeches" and were created units of meaning of the questions most relevant to the changes in the curriculum and the integration of technology. It was concluded that the agents that cause the changes in the curriculum and promote the insertion of the technology are: faculty members, formed mostly by professional teachers, the labor market and working students, and the methodology used by the school, especially by the time it is "left over" in the classroom / A evolução da tecnologia está presente em muitos aspectos do cotidiano de boa parte das pessoas, das mais simples tarefas, como ir ao banco para receber seus vencimentos, fazer compras, comunicar-se, entre outras coisas. Toda essa evolução está sendo percebida no cotidiano das escolas e descobrir quais são os motivos que influenciam a mudança do currículo dos cursos técnicos de uma escola fundada na década de cinquenta e como a tecnologia é inserida nele é o objetivo desse trabalho que levanta hipóteses iniciais de fatores determinantes que provocam essa mudança como a atuação do corpo docente, composto por maioria de professores atuantes no mercado de trabalho, a vocação da escola ou a exigência do mercado de trabalho. Essa pesquisa abordará também os desafios da escola em adaptar-se ao mundo da tecnologia e, principalmente, a importância do professor em acompanhar essa mudança como protagonista, junto aos seus alunos. Por se tratar de uma escola técnica, observa-se sua estreita e necessária relação com o mercado de trabalho, sendo uma referência em empregabilidade e em ensino de tecnologia, o que pressupõe um currículo definido, previamente, para atender ao mercado de trabalho, que, no entanto, sofre mudanças constantes por conta de sua essência educacional. Para chegar-se às conclusões, foram analisados os documentos oficiais que regem a educação profissional nacional, os documentos da escola, reuniões de grupos focais, questionários aplicados aos alunos e entrevistas com professores e coordenadores. Estabeleceu-se um diálogo entre as falas e foram criadas unidades de significados das questões mais relevantes para as mudanças ocorridas no currículo e para a inserção da tecnologia. Concluiu-se que os agentes que provocam as mudanças ocorridas no currículo, bem como favorecem a inserção da tecnologia são: corpo docente, formado em sua maioria por professores profissionais, o mercado de trabalho e os alunos trabalhadores, além da metodologia utilizada pela escola, principalmente pelo tempo que ela faz sobrar em sala de aula

Orientador: Maria Madalena Gracioli / Resumo: O principal objetivo deste trabalho é identificar os motivos que levam o jovem a interromper seus estudos nos cursos técnicos. Indiscutivelmente a evasão é uma dificuldade enfrentada na educação, que pode ser desencadeada por várias causas, relativas a diversos contextos, e as consequências são inúmeras. No entanto, a conjuntura em que elas estão inseridas é uma só, um futuro prejudicado e sem desenvolvimento pleno, uma vez que o abandono dos estudos é a renúncia ao direito à educação. Essa investigação de caráter qualitativo utilizou a pesquisa bibliográfica realizada em livros, artigos científicos, dissertação e teses, e por uma pesquisa de campo utilizando entrevistas semiestruturadas; a análise dos dados teve por base a desenvolvida por Bardin. A partir do estudo do material colhido foi possível identificar os motivos da evasão nos cursos técnicos, que constituída por fatores externos como trabalho; distância da escola; problemas familiares; a conclusão da educação básica em outras instituições; e, por fatores internos apontados pelos alunos como disciplinas difíceis; curso cansativo; lentidão no processo de ensinar e falta de conhecimento especifico do conteúdo ministrado por alguns professores. Também foi possível perceber que faltam políticas públicas direcionadas ao incentivo e permanência do aluno no Ensino Técnico. / Abstract: The main goal of this project is to identify the specific reasons that lead young people to drop out of technical school. Undoubtedly, evasion is a difficulty faced in education which may be caused by many factors, and its consequences abound. However, the future they foresee can be only one: damaged and without full development, as abandoning studies equals giving up education. This qualitative study used books, scientific papers, dissertations and theses as bibliography, as well as semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was based on content analysis developed by Bardin. Using the collected material, it was possible to identify the reason for the evasion from technical schools, which are caused by external factors such as work, distance, family problems, or finishing basic education in other institutions; and internal factors such as hard subjects, exhausting courses, and lack of expertise by teachers. It was also possible to detect the lack of public policies aimed at motivating the students. / Mestre

The diploma thesis deals with the current topic of headmaster's competence at secondary vocational schools, technically oriented. The thesis is based on the general theory of competencies and competency models. It aims to identify the headmaster's competencies at the technical vocational school in Prague and based on these findings create the competence model. On the basis of the literature search, a research was carried out, its purpose was to find out what competences the those people possess, i.e. to identify these competencies and to compile a competence model. The questionnaire survey technique was used as the first, data collection technique. Within the questionnaire survey, all headmasters and deputy headmasters were approached at 15 secondary technical schools in Prague. The third group of respondents was consisted of the founder of these schools. Through the questionnaire survey, we determined the importance of individual competencies. The second used technique was a semi-structured interview with selected representatives of respondent groups (headmasters and deputy headmasters). The interview was used to verify observable formulations that are part of the competency model. The result of the practical part is the competence model of the headmaster at secondary technical school in Prague....

There is, on the Physical Education classes of the Colégio Técnico Industrial (CTISM), a history of growth of the number of students absence from the first to the third grade of Ensino Médio. The objective of this study consisted of identifying and analyzing the causes that lead students to progressively become less engaged on this subject and to become more absent from these classes. Thus, the reason why the third graders of CTISM were more absent from the Physical Education classes than the first-graders was the research question. This study was based on a qualitative research and the research method of case study in the line of research School and Political Practices Public. The participants were a total of seventeen (17) students, being nine (09) students who were on third grade in 2007 and eight (08) students who graduated in 2006 with an elevated rate of class absence. The instruments which were used consisted of an exploratory subject by the third graders as well as a semistructured interview. For the results analysis, the method of content analysis was utilized. From the interaction of the theoretic and empirical elements, two categories that sum up the research results emerged: a) social conditioners; b) physical education conception. / Há, nas aulas de educação física do Colégio Técnico Industrial (CTISM), um histórico de aumento no número de faltas dos alunos da primeira para a terceira série do ensino médio. O objetivo desta pesquisa consistiu em identificar e analisar as causas que levam os alunos a, progressivamente, engajarem-se menos nesta disciplina, tornando-se infreqüentes. Assim, por que os alunos da terceira série do Ensino Médio, do CTISM, são mais infreqüentes, nas aulas de educação física, que os alunos que cursam a primeira série, foi a questão de pesquisa. Tratou-se de pesquisa qualitativa, na modalidade estudo de caso na linha de pesquisa Práticas Escolares e Políticas Públicas. Os sujeitos participantes foram num total de dezessete (17) alunos, assim constituídos: nove (09) alunos que estavam cursando a terceira série em 2007 e oito (08) egressos de 2006 com um número elevado de faltas. Os instrumentos utilizados foram uma questão exploratória, realizado com alunos em curso na terceira série, assim como uma entrevista semi-estruturada. Na análise dos resultados, utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo. Da interação entre os elementos teóricos e empíricos, surgiram duas categorias que sintetizam os resultados da pesquisa: a) condicionantes sociais b) concepção de educação física.

To get to know the process of creation and installation of these institutions,became necessary primarily to comprehend the political, economical, social and educational changes that occurred in the Brazilian scenery in this period of history. It was about the change of the slave labor to the salaried labor, the transition of the imperial regime to the Republic, the coffee production and commerce and the arrival of the immigrants in Brazil. Accompanying such alterations was the expansion of the public education in Brazil, conducted by these changes. In Paraná, were created commercial institutes, technical schools, Apprentices Artifices School, schools of rural workers and fishing schools. Before the studied context, we seek to comprehend with this research which elements determine the creation and installation process of technical schools in the State of Paraná; to which necessities they came to respond; which is the public to be attended with these institutions; and which is the teaching offered by these schools. To handle the answer of this problematic, they were assigned as analysis categories: society, labor and education; with the aim of evidencing the relations of the studied object with the occurred alterations in the society at the referred historical context. To apprehend the real intentions of the State in creating technical schools in Paraná, the theoretical referential utilized was the historical materialism which enabled the comprehension of the economical, political and social reality present in Brazil, in the historical period studied. The research had a bibliographical documental character; the methodological procedure adopted was the lifting of the primary documental sources as records, Laws, decrees and regulations regarding of these institutions of technical teaching. To the access of these sources were visited the technical schools still in activity, the Public Archive of Paraná, the Public Library, the House of Memory, the municipal secretariats of education of the cities in which were installed the technical schools. The present study finds itself divided in three chapters: “The economical, political and social transformations in the republican Brazil and the professional teaching”, “The urban technical schools in the State of Paraná”, “The rural technical schools in the State of Paraná”. It concludes with the present study that the creations of technical schools in the State of Paraná was result of the process of internal economical development done by incentive of the Brazilian government, aiming the industrialization of the country and the modernization of agriculture. With the peroration of offering the education to the people, the State, by means of these institutions, aimed to prepare the labor force to the commerce, the industries, and the agriculture and thus answer to the interests of the capital. These institutions worked as shelter of minor and offered professional teaching to the labor class. / A presente dissertação teve por objetivo a reconstrução histórica das Instituições Escolares do Ensino Técnico do Estado no Paraná, criadas no período de 1900 a 1950. Para conhecer o processo de criação e instalação destas instituições, fez-se necessário primeiramente compreender as mudanças políticas, econômicas, sociais e educacionais que ocorreram no cenário brasileiro neste período da história. Tratou-se da mudança do trabalho escravo para o trabalho assalariado, a transição do regime imperial para a República, a produção e o comércio do café e a chegada dos imigrantes no Brasil. Acompanhando tais alterações, houve a expansão do ensino público no Brasil, conduzido por essas mudanças. No Paraná, foram criados: institutos comerciais, escola técnica, Escola de Aprendizes Artífices, escolas de trabalhadores rurais e escolas de pesca. Diante do contexto estudado, buscamos compreender com esta pesquisa quais os elementos que determinaram o processo de criação e instalação das escolas técnicas no Estado do Paraná; a que necessidades elas vieram responder; qual o público a ser atendido com estas instituições e qual o ensino oferecido por estas escolas. Para dar conta de responder esta problemática, foram atribuídas como categorias de análise: sociedade, trabalho e educação; com o intuito de evidenciar as relações do objeto estudado com as alterações ocorridas na sociedade no referido contexto histórico. Para apreender as reais intenções do Estado em se criar as escolas técnicas no Paraná, o referencial teórico utilizado foi o materialismo histórico o qual possibilitou a compreensão da realidade, econômica, política e social presentes no Brasil, no período histórico estudado. A pesquisa teve caráter documental bibliográfico; o procedimento metodológico adotado foi o levantamento das fontes documentais primárias como atas, Leis, decretos e regulamentos referentes à criação destas instituições de ensino técnico. Para o acesso a essas fontes, foram visitadas as escolas técnicas ainda em atividade, o Arquivo Público do Paraná, Biblioteca Pública, Casa da Memória, secretarias municipais de educação das cidades em que foram instaladas as escolas técnicas. O presente estudo encontra-se dividido em três capítulos: “As transformações econômicas, políticas e sociais no Brasil republicano e o ensino profissional”, “As escolas técnicas urbanas no Estado do Paraná”, “As escolas técnicas rurais no Estado do Paraná”. Conclui-se com o presente estudo que a criação das escolas técnicas no estado do Paraná foi resultado do processo do desenvolvimento econômico interno feito pelo incentivo do governo brasileiro,objetivando a industrialização do país e a modernização da agricultura. Com o discurso de oferecer a educação para o povo, o Estado, por meio destas instituições, visou preparar a força de trabalho para o comércio, as indústrias e a agricultura e assim responder aos interesses do capital. Estas instituições funcionaram como abrigo de menores e ofereceram ensino profissional para a classe trabalhadora.
