<p> The objective of this examination was to determine if there were significant differences in reported levels of motivation across five teaching tasks, as well as time allocated to each teaching task, among online and onsite university-level social science faculty. One hundred thirty-six social science faculty members were allocated into two groups that reported teaching in either online or onsite settings. Each participant completed the WTMST measuring various types of motivation across various types of teaching tasks. A measure of estimated time spent on each of the five teaching tasks was also obtained. The two groups showed several similarities in amount of motivation across teaching tasks and types of motivation with greater motivation for teaching, class preparation and evaluation of students than administrative and complementary tasks and greater motivation for teaching than class preparation. Both groups showed greater identified regulation than intrinsic motivation and greater intrinsic motivation and identified and external regulation than introjected regulation and amotivation. However, the onsite group reported greater motivation for teaching and class preparation than evaluation of students that was not shown for the online group and the onsite group reporting greater external regulation than intrinsic motivation and greater introjected regulation than amotivation that was not shown for the online group. The onsite group reported more time teaching than evaluation of students while the opposite finding was shown for the online group. The onsite group reported more time on class preparation than the other tasks except teaching while the online group reported less time, or no difference in time, spent on class preparation compared to other tasks. Reported time estimates and motivation scores were shown to be positively correlated across teaching tasks. The patterns of motivation scores across teaching tasks and types of motivation are described relative to self-determination theory. Differences within groups in motivation scores, and reported allocation of time, across teaching tasks, and corresponding positive correlation between motivation scores and reported time estimates suggests a relationship between the distribution of required duties of faculty and their motivational experiences. The findings are discussed relative to potential future qualitative and quantitative research of college faculty motivation and time allocated to various tasks, and relative to benefits to college level faculty, administrators and faculty services, and to students, toward facilitating quality of the academic experience. </p><p>

No primeiro capítulo apresento uma leitura plausível de um trabalho que dizem ter sido feito por mim, mas que eu acredito em coisas diferentes das coisas que aquele autor escreveu. Nesse texto apresento minhas perspectivas para ensinar, ensino e formação, que é base para o que escrevo nos demais capítulos. O segundo capítulo é um trecho no qual apresento uma perspectiva acerca do uso da tecnologia em salas de aula. Para desenvolvê-la, levo em consideração minhas experiências enquanto professor do Curso de GeoGebra e o referencial teórico que tem embasado minhas discussões e crenças. No terceiro capítulo apresento uma leitura sobre possibilidades de formação do Curso de GeoGebra lhes proporciona. Para isso, considero algumas das escolhas que fizemos ao elaborarmos o curso e faço uma análise das consequências decorrente delas, a partir da perspectiva do Modelo dos Campos Semânticos. No último texto escrevo um pouco sobre o processo de elaboração dessa pesquisa e sobre minhas aspirações enquanto alguém em um processo de formação. / The objective of this work is to tell histories about me and about a process of formation. In the first charpter I present a plausible reading about a work that say have done by me but I belive in diferent thigs that the author belive. In this text I present my perspective about to teach, education and formation. In the second charpter I presente my perspective about to use tecnology in education. To develop it, I consider my experience as a teacher into a Couse of GeoGebra and the theoretical framework on wich I base myself. In the third charpter I present a reading about formation possibilities of a Course of GeoGebra. I consider some choice that we made while developed the course and I buid a analysis in a Semantic Fields Model view. In the last text I this processo of formation and about my experiences while someone who is in this process.

A metodologia utilizada pela maioria dos professores do ensino superior, em especial no curso de Administração de Empresas, tem como prioridade a aula expositiva, centrada na figura do professor. Os conceitos são apresentados de forma linear, sendo o aluno o sujeito dependente, um modelo similar ao encontrado em nossas escolas de ensino fundamental e médio. Dentro deste contexto, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar o trabalho desenvolvido na disciplina “Informática Aplicada” no curso de Administração de Empresas de uma instituição de ensino superior, onde a preocupação do professor foi significar e contextualizar a aprendizagem desses profissionais através de Projetos de Trabalho, potencializados pelas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC). Para atender a este objetivo, a presente pesquisa teve como sujeitos: os alunos da disciplina Informática Aplicada, do curso de Administração de Empresas, 1o ano – noturno e o professor da disciplina, que também se identifica como pesquisador. Estes sujeitos tiveram como contexto uma instituição de ensino superior particular: Associação Educacional Toledo de Presidente Prudente – SP, Brasil. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida segundo a abordagem qualitativa do tipo pesquisa-ação. Os resultados da pesquisa mostraram ser possível a criação de um ambiente favorável ao aprendizado, através de uma aprendizagem contextualizada e significativa, um novo modo de contemplar o conteúdo programático da disciplina e, por conseguinte, atingir aos objetivos do curso, com o desenvolvimento de habilidades e competência, as quais contribuem para a formação do Administrador de Empresas. / The transposition from theory to practice, together with the development of skills and competence, has been a problem for students and teachers in Business Administration graduation courses for quite a long time. The methodology used by most professors, particularly in Business Administration courses, has considered the speech class as a priority, centred upon the teacher. The concepts are presented in a linear way, being the student a dependent subject, a model similar to the one found in our elementary and secondary schools. Within that context, this study aims to analyze the work developed by Applied Information Technology, a subject in the Business Administration course of a college institution, where professors' concern has been to signify and contextualize the learning of such professionals through Work Projects, potentialized by Communication and Information Technologies (CIT). To reach that aim, the present study had the freshmen of Applied Information Technology, in the Business Administration course, and their teacher (also identified as the researcher) as subjects. They had a private college as the context (Toledo Educacional Association, in Presidente Prudente, São Paulo State, Brazil). The reasearch was developed according to the qualitative approach, research-action type. The results showed that it is possible to create a favorable environment for teaching, through contextualized and significant learning, as a new mode of contemplating the subject's programmed contents, and, consequently, to reach the course's aims, with the development of skills and competence, which contribute to the education of a Business Manager.

A presente pesquisa de estudo de caso e carÃter qualitativo foi realizada em uma Escola de Ensino Fundamental, localizada no distrito de Parada, no municÃpio de SÃo GonÃalo do Amarante, no estado do CearÃ. A referida escola foi uma das nove escolas contempladas com o projeto UCA no estado do Cearà e uma das duas escolas, do mesmo estado, localizada no territÃrio praieiro. A pesquisa dissertativa teve duraÃÃo de aproximadamente trÃs meses (com os alunos) nos quais foram realizados 14 encontros presenciais e uma aula de campo destinada à visitaÃÃo dos alunos e professores a X Bienal Internacional do Livro. Participou da pesquisa uma turma do 8 ano do ensino fundamental, com 25 alunos. Durante o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, foram utilizados, como instrumentos principais do nosso trabalho, o laptop educacional conectado à internet, ferramentas livres do Google Drive e o Sistema On-line para CriaÃÃo de Projetos e Comunidades-SÃcrates. As tÃcnicas e materiais de coleta de dados foram o 1) DiÃrio de Campo; 2) Check list; 3) Entrevista Semiestruturada; 4) GravaÃÃo de VÃdeo, Ãudio e Captura de Imagens, coletadas pela prÃpria pesquisadora. Os resultados foram analisados de acordo com as macrocategorias estabelecidas, acompanhados de suas categorias e subcategorias. Constatamos que, a partir das situaÃÃes colaborativas propostas durante os encontros presencias e no ambiente virtual, os alunos usaram os laptops e construÃram materiais digitais por meio da interaÃÃo e colaboraÃÃo entre os participantes do projeto. / The research investigated how a collaborative project, developed in a UCA school contributed to the development of collaborative practices in the classroom. This research case study and qualitative research was reld in a Elementary School, located in the district of Parada in the City of SÃo GonÃalo do Amarante, Cearà State. That school was one of nine schools awarded the UCA project in the state of Cearà and one of two schools in the same state, located in a beach region. The research Essay lasted approximately three months (with the students) and was conducted in 14 meetings and a class field destined to a visitation with the students and teachers to X Bienal Internacional do Livro. Participated in the research a group of 25 8th graders. During the development of the research, we used as main instruments of data collecting, the educational laptop connected to the internet, Google free tools and the On-line System for Creating Projects and Communities â SOCRATES.
