O exercício de investigação se fez inicialmente nos livros didáticos e manuais do professor aprovados Programa Nacional do Livro DidáticoPNLD 2007, nas disciplinas de História e Geografia. Ao mesmo tempo, investigou-se como o professor pode responder ao desafio que se apresenta de ensinar e aprender diante da diversidade cultural. Através da pesquisa com os professores descobriu-se que a questão da identidade é pouco refletida e se apresenta de tal maneira que professores têm dificuldades de instaurar discussões relacionadas ao tema no âmbito da escola. Sabe-se que houve um aumento dos investimentos em políticas públicas educacionais e dos vários documentos que foram construídos para o fortalecimento da educação por parte do Governo Federal, através do Ministério da Educação - MEC, nas últimas décadas que deram um impulso e possibilitaram novas dimensões no que tange à educação básica. Nesta pesquisa, o foco foi recuperar como se compreende a temática indígena no âmbito de uma escola não-indígena, em uma área limítrofe. Seu diferencial foi buscar em uma escola de ensino fundamental séries iniciais de Io ao 5o ano - situada nas bordas da área indígena Potiguara, no Estado da Paraíba, a maneira pela qual se reflete/constrói a identidade indígena, recorrendo-se para isso aos livros didáticos, e muito pouco aos Potiguara que estão ao lado; utilizando como fonte privilegiada as 25 coleções (de várias editoras) concernentes às disciplinas de História e Geografia aprovadas para o PNLD 2007, dentre as quais as duas coleções dessas disciplinas que foram adotadas na escola. O intuito de compreender como a temática indígena se apresenta nos livros didáticos distribuídos em escolas públicas, no que se refere a textos escritos e imagéticos. A junção da pesquisa nos livros que circulam nas escolas, o planejamento escolar e a '"contemplação" nesse planejamento, atividades de alunos e entrevistas com os professores teve como resultado esta dissertação. A mesma traz consigo uma provocação pela busca da compreensão das diferenças étnicas e de certa forma das dificuldades enfrentadas pelos educandos e educadores. Principalmente no que diz respeito aos grupos étnicos indígenas na Região Nordeste, tão presentes e, ao mesmo tempo, distanciados das obras didáticas e do universo escolar, mesmo fazendo parte deste recorte no contexto da História e da Geografia. / This research investigates in which aspect public policy education presents the concept possibility to constitute a pluralistic society, based on the teaching and learning process principle and the challenge that implements the constitution of a multiethnic nation. Prior investigation in textbooks and teacher's manuals approved for National the Textbook Program [PNLD-2007] in the disciplines of History and Geography. Furthermore, it analyses how teacher may respond to the teaching and learning challenge facing cultural diversity. Teachers analyses demonstrates the identity lack of reflection, therefore, teachers face difficulties to raise discussions on this theme within school. It is said that there is an investment increase in educational public policies, and several documents developed with education empowerment by the Federal Government through the Education Ministry [MEC], which lately it provides new dimensions concerning basic education. This research focuses on the indigenous issues recovering in a non-Indian school of a border area. Its distinguishing feature has the purpose to examine elementary school grades from 1st to 5th periods, located on indigenous edges in Potiguara-PB, constructing indigenous identity essentially on textbooks giving no emphasis on Potiguara. Thus, twenty-five collections from various publishers as the main source concerning History and Geography approved in 2007 PNLD [National Textbook Program], among these collections from the two disciplines adopted by the school. It purposes to reflect how indigenous issues are presented in the textbooks distributed in public schools, regarding both written and image texts. Research within books that circulate in schools, school planning and planning activities contemplation, student tasks and teachers interviews results in this dissertation. This study also provokes the search in order to accept ethnic differences, well as students and educators difficulties. Especially Northeast indigenous ethnic groups, on the other side, quite distant from teaching works and school environment, even participating in the history and geography context

The theoretical part of the dissertation describes some specific learning disabilities (next SLD) - especially dyslexia, pays attention to causes of the defects, diagnosis and reeducation. Its aim is to describe the personality of these children or their perception of colours. Further, some possibilities how to work with a child with a learning disability in foreign language lessons at basic schools are discussed. The practical part is aimed at teaching aids production. It means a textbook, a CD, sheets with appendices, etc. Each aid is described and its benefit for both, the pupil and the teacher, are mentioned and also teaching methods are explained.

As dificuldades epistemológicas e metodológicas do ensino de Cálculo Diferencial e Integral em cursos do ensino superior presenciais, a rápida evolução tecnológica (tanto em hardwares como em softwares) e o avanço aparentemente irreversível do ensino a distância, constituíram uma grande motivação para este trabalho. Analisando as dificuldades na construção de significados no estudo do Cálculo como em Barufi (1999), sua natureza epistemológica em Rezende (2003), e metodologias usadas na Educação à Distância, apresentam-se as idéias da natureza artificial de Simon (1981), as tecnologias da inteligência de Lévy (1993), as mediações sobre a técnica de Ortega y Gasset (1963), culminando no conceito do coletivo humans-with-media, como em Borba e Villarreal (2005). Pretende-se alargar os passos, verificando-se os limites e possibilidades do uso de novas Tecnologias da Informação (TI´s) no ensino do Cálculo Diferencial e Integral, aplicáveis tanto no ensino Presencial como na Educação à Distância, no coletivo humans-with-media. A expectativa é a de que uma nova fase da técnica tem início, uma fase em que a separação homem/técnica é impossível. Não se trata mais da técnica e o humano, ou o humano e a técnica, mas do humano midiático. Tanto um (o humano) quanto o outro (a técnica) são atores no processo de construção do conhecimento. Sendo assim, não é mais possível abrir mão do uso das tecnologias informáticas no estudo do Cálculo Diferencial e Integral. Faz-se necessária a compreensão de sua importância na construção dos significados 9 num curso de Cálculo para o coletivo humans-with-media, e também trabalhálas, as tecnologias, como recurso potencial na mediação das dificuldades de natureza epistemológica existentes nos eixos sistematização/construção, variabilidade/permanência, global/local, discreto/contínuo, finito/infinito e construção/significação. / The epistemological and methodological difficulties in teaching Differential and Integral Calculus in graduate classrooms, the rapid technological advancements in both hardware and software and the apparently irreversible growth of distance learning constituted a major inspiration for this work. Analyzing the difficulties in giving meaning to the study of calculus as in Barufi (1999), its epistemological nature in Rezende (2003) and the methodologies used in Distance Education, this paper explores the ideas of artificial nature in Simon (1981), the intelligence technologies of Lévy (1993) and the debate over the technique of Ortega y Gasset (1963) to culminate with the concept of the collective humans-with-media as in Borba and Villarreal (2005). The present study intends to expand the boundaries by verifying the limits and possibilities of using new Information Technologies (IT\'s) to teach Differential and Integral Calculus courses to real and virtual students within the collective of humans-with-media. It suggests a new phase is beginning, where it is impossible to separate the technique from the human being, where there is no longer a technique and a human being, but only a media oriented individual who merges with the technique to become combined actors in the process of building knowledge. In this sense, it is impossible to relinquish the use of information technologies in the study of Differential and Integral Calculus. It is imperative to understand the importance of these technologies in giving meaning to the study of Calculus by 13 the collective humans-with-media and explore these technologies as a potential resource to overcome the epistemological difficulties found in the axes systematization/construction, variability/permanence, global/local, discrete/continuous, finite/infinite and construction/meaning.

L’enseignement du lexique arabe à l’Institut supérieur des langues de Damas n’est pas encore à la hauteur des attentes de l’apprenant pour lui fournir une bonne connaissance lexicale. Les outils pour développer ce travail n’ont pas évolué dans les méthodes utilisées. Dans ces méthodes, on applique toujours l’approche classique du lexique. Cette approche n’est plus valable au moment où le critère de fonctionnalité lié à la notion de fréquence a commencé à avoir sa place dans la nouvelle conception du lexique. Ce projet de thèse vise donc à contribuer à l’enseignement de l’arabe langue étrangère à l'Institut supérieur des langues en profitant des recherches faites pour l'enseignement d’autres langues vivantes, et spécialement celles qui s’inscrivent dans le Cadre européen commun de référence pour les langues (CECRL). / Standard Arabic is actually the language of writing. The speeches made in the media and in some TV series are, in most cases, a literal restatement of visual coding of the language (text written in standard Arabic) in auditory coding (reading aloud the written text). Similarly, everyday Arabic does not have the same coding as Arabic that exists in the media, in books and in Arabic language courses. This gives the impression that the current teaching content is not suitable for a usage outside the language classroom.This thesis deals with the problem of the composition of the lexical content of textbooks of teaching Arabic L2 of Higher Language Institute of Damascus (Syria). A content that does not withdraw from standard norms (focus on the adaptation of a classic or moderne standard Arabic), but seeks to be as close as possible to the daily practice of language that is very rich in dialect. The current content represents the traditional approach of the lexicon, which focuses on the semantics of words and phrases while the communicative features of these language elements are little treated. The proposed analysisshows the weak points in the structure of textbooks now in use. It is based on the criteria of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the skill references of Niveaux pour le français that offer an approach batter adapted to the preparation of the lexicon in recent textbooks of teaching moderne languages. This analysis focuses on finding the crossing points in standard and spoken Arabic in Syria to build a route map that allows the learner an easy passage from what he learns in the Arabic language classroom to Arabic that is really practiced in everyday communications. It provides some solutions to reduce the gap between these two usages of Arabic.

When it comes to the foreign language teaching in Sweden, there are, amongst others,  two recommendation direction documents that serve as help and support to achieve an appropriate acquisition and teaching of the foreign language. These documents are the courseplan for foreign languages by GY11 that is established by the Swedish department of education and the Common European Framework of Reference for languages, that’s been written by the European Council. In this essay, we have chosen to analyse wheather or not three Spanish textbooks, Caminando 3, Alegría 3 and Vistas 3, reflect the goals that are established in these two documents. When we analyse the textbooks we are only taking two aspects of language learning into account, these are the cultural aspect and the aspect of oral interaction. In order to complement the investigation we have handed out questionnaires to eight Spanish teachers, that work in a commune in the south of Sweden, where we ask them if they try to implement the goals established by these two documents in their teaching, if they have any knowledge about these documents, and whether they find that these three textbooks reflect these goals or not. The textbook analysis shows that all of the three books accomplish the goals set by the two direction documents when it comes to both aspects. According to our investigation the book that presents the best reflection is Vistas 3, which also is the only book published after the actualisation of the courseplan of GY11.                                                                        However, the majority of the teachers believe that they know the means of both direction documents. Even so, it is clear that the course plan is the document that is best known and that the mayority of the teachers have been educated about its goals, which is the opposite of the results of the same questions concerning the Common European Framework of Reference for languages. In addition, the majority of the teachers say that they do not try to implement the goals of this document in their teaching. Then again the results of the courseplan are different as it says that the majority of the teachers actually try to implement and take notice of this document, and its goals, in their teaching.           When it comes to the questionnaire results of the textbooks, Alegría 3 has the best results. It is considered to accomplish the established goals by both documents and to serve as a functionable tool in the teaching of the two aspects. The majority results of Vistas 3 and Caminando 3 is that they are only considerd to partly accomplish the goals of the documents of directions, and to partually serve as good tools in teaching of the two aspects. To sum up, the questionnaire results of Vistas 3 and the results of the analysis don’t correspond. This might be because of the lack of knowlede that one of the teachers, who wasusing this book, had concerning the documents of direction. In conclusion, it is important to remember that the textbooks shouldn’t be used as the only teaching material to follow the guidelines of the direction documents.

This thesis deals with teaching Czech as a second language for pupils with a different mother tongue at primary school. Collects and presents professional findings on this topic. Diploma thesis explains the difference between Czech as a second language and Czech as a foreign language and compares them. The thesis examined what is necessary when the teacher is planning the lesson. Further, describes in detail the various materials and textbook Domino 1 in terms of a beginning teacher of Czech for foreigners. In the practical part of the thesis submitted to analyse three topics. Based on this analysis and complete analysis of theoretical knowledge, textbooks, and materials originated recommendations for a beginning teachers. The thesis also deals with a utility of textbooks of Czech as a second language in a regular classroom. The practical part includes ideas for games in a lesson or samples of worksheets.

Cette thèse porte sur l’étude de la notion de culture dans les manuels d’espagnol langue étrangère (ELE) actuels et sur la manière dont le contenu culturel va s’aborder, dans une époque où le Cadre Européen Commun de Référence pour les Langues (CECRL) et le Plan curricular del Instituto Cervantes (PCIC) ont tracé la structure des unités et ont établi les contenus nécessaires pour que l’étudiant puisse communiquer et se défendre dans cette langue. À partir d’une recherche sur la bibliographie existante sur la didactique de langues étrangères (LE) on développe une grille pour évaluer la présence du contenu culturel dans une période de temps marquée par l’influence d’un enseignement-apprentissage interculturel principalement axé sur la culture à fin de développer la compétence interculturelle des étudiants. C’est avec cette grille que nous avons pu quantifier le contenu culturel dans les manuels étudiés et que nous avons distingué les différentes habiletés mises en œuvre avec ce contenu-ci et que nous avons déterminé si celui-ci est abordé depuis une perspective interculturelle. Ensuite, nous avons mené une deuxième analyse avec l’objectif de vérifier la manière dont le contenu culturel est abordé dans chaque niveau étudié. Finalement, cette recherche présente une courte analyse des échantillons analysés pour vérifier l’évolution du stéréotype dans les manuels examinés et définir la notion de culture stéréotypée sur la société hispanique. Les résultats de notre analyse montrent qu’il existe un intérêt de la part des auteurs de manuels de ELE pour intégrer le contenu culturel. Cependant, l’analyse montre aussi que la présence de ce contenu culturel n’est pas encore très exhaustive dans les niveaux A1-B1 puisqu’elle n’est pas proposée dans une perspective interculturelle de façon continue. De plus, nous avons constaté que l’on développe quelques habilitées du langage qui priorisent l’interaction dans la salle de classe lorsque le contenu culturel est abordé, laissant de côté d’autres situations communicatives nécessaires pour renforcer l’apprentissage d’ELE. En même temps, cette recherche constate que l’utilisation du stéréotype a évolué et il ne sert plus à fortifier les croyances sur la société hispanique. Nous le trouvons dans un degré plus restreint dans les manuels et avec l’objectif de le rompre et de permettre ainsi que l’étudiant puisse redéfinir ses propres idées et préjugés par rapport à la culture hispanique. Cependant, ce travail de rupture du stéréotype nécessite de l’objectivité du professeur et d’une médiation constante entre tous les acteurs dans le processus d’apprentissage pour contraster les réalités et empêcher la fossilisation des topiques. Bref, nous constatons qu’il existe un déséquilibre au moment de comprendre et développer le contenu culturel dans les manuels d’ELE, ce qui indique le besoin de créer une grille structurée dans laquelle on puisse introduire la culture comme un fil conducteur dans l’apprentissage d’une langue. Cette recherche souligne le besoin de promouvoir un processus d’enseignement-apprentissage interculturel dans les manuels d’ELE. / This research paper focusses on the study of the notion of culture in current Spanish as it is presented in foreign language textbooks (ELE: Español Lengua Extranjera). It also examines how the cultural component is addressed at a time when the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the Plan curricular del Instituto Cervantes (PCIC) have outlined the unit structure and have refreshed the content requisites for a student to be able to communicate and operate in the foreign language. Based on a literature review of teaching methods for foreign languages a template has been developed to evaluate the presence of the cultural component over a period marked by an intercultural teaching and learning influence, where culture is the central area for the development of intercultural competence for students. Using the template, it has been possible to quantify the cultural component in the analysed textbooks, differentiating what skills are used and determining if it is analysed from an intercultural perspective. Then, a second analysis is undertaken to check how the cultural component is treated in each level of study. Finally, the paper presents a brief analysis of the samples run to check the evolution of the stereotype in the analysed textbooks and define the notion of stereotyped culture about the Hispanic world. The results of our analysis show that there is an interest from ELE textbook authors to integrate the cultural component into their language content. However, the analysis also shows that the presence of the cultural component is still not fully integrated in levels A1-B1, as it is not approached in a constant intercultural way. In addition, we found that there is a tendency to address the cultural component by using skills that foster interaction in class and undermine the importance of other communicative situations necessary to strengthen the learning of ELE. At the same time, the research finds that the use of stereotypes has evolved, as it does not reinforce stereotypical beliefs about the Hispanic world like in the past. Rather, stereotypes appear less often with students encouraged to challenge them, enabling the student to reconsider their own ideas and prejudices about Hispanic culture. However, this work of breaking stereotypes requires the teacher´s objectivity and constant mediation among several actors in the process of learning to compare the reality and avoid the fossilisation of these stereotypical topics. Nevertheless, we note that there is still a mismatch when the cultural component needs to be understood and developed for ELE textbooks. As a result, there is a need to create a structured template in which culture is presented as the main area to learn the language. This research paper emphasises the need to promote a process of intercultural teaching-learning in ELE textbooks.

Den här kvalitativa studien syftar till att undersöka hur bildstöd är utformat i tre skönlitterärt uppbyggda läroböcker på ingångsnivå riktade mot årskurs 1 i svenska för att stödja elevers läsinlärning. Studien tar avstamp i Richard E. Mayers (2014) teori om multimodal inlärning: Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning. Teorin bygger på idén att människor lär bättre och djupare från text och bild än från enbart text. Läroböckerna analyseras utifrån Lundh och Limbergs (2012) kategorier när det gäller bildstöd: dekorativ, illustrativ, narrativ och förklarande. I läroböckerna analyseras även förhållandet mellan text och bild samt vilka tidigare kunskaper eleverna behöver för att förstå bildstödet. Resultatet visar att alla de tre läroböckerna använder sig av bildstöd i berättelsen. Det bildstöd som används mest i läroböckerna är narrativt, samtidigt som dekorativt bildstöd saknas helt. Förhållandet mellan bild och text ser genomgående olika ut i läroböckerna men visar sig ha stor betydelse speciellt för elevernas läsförståelse. Precis som med allt annat i vardagen behöver eleverna ha tidigare kunskaper för att kunna “läsa” och förstå bilderna i läroböckerna. Av studiens resultat kan slutsatsen dras att läroböckerna använder sig av bilder avsiktligen för att stödja läsningen, att bilderna ger bäst stöd om de berättar samma sak som texten gör samt att eleverna måste kunna ”läsa” och förstå bilderna för att få full läsförståelse.

This diploma thesis deals with selection, design and creation of new education materials for high school teacher supporting webpage www.studiumchemie.cz. The selection of the proper theme was done on the basis of research and evaluation of recent materials on the mentioned webpage and materials created at the Department of chemical education of Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague. Preliminarily, the themes of synthetic macromolecular materials and new materials were selected. The convenience of the selected themes was confirmed by research and evaluation concerned to the preliminarily selected theme of recent high school textbooks and webpages. Consequently, educational materials in the form of PowerPoint presentations, websites, worksheets, tests, games and experiments focused on the themes of synthetic macromolecular substances and new materials were created. Materials were processed in accordance with the Framework Education Programme for Secondary General Education (Grammar Schools) as well as in accordance with the requirements of the Catalogue of graduation exam requirements from chemistry. The PowerPoint presentation and the webpage on synthetic macromolecular materials were roughly evaluated by group of teachers and the results of the evaluation are also part of the thesis....

This study aims to investigate the representation of Latin America in verbal and visual text in Swedish textbooks for Spanish teaching. More specifically, this analysis examines how much of the text is represented by Latin American people in comparison to European people, how Latin Americans are represented and how large the prevalence of each form of representation is, as well as which verbal and visual patterns are present in the textbooks. A quantitative content analysis was used to examine the study's question regarding the extent of the different text forms. The method of the analysis for the remaining questions surrounding the representation of Latin Americans was based on a multimodal critical discourse analysis with a social semiotic approach. The result indicates that Latin Americans comprise a smaller proportion of the extent of text than Europeans. Based on the results of the analysis of representation, the textbooks differed to some extent in the representation of Latin Americans, but the common patterns made visible were that Latin Americans are most often portrayed as impersonal and socially distanced in relation to the recipient. Finally, the result of analysis is problematized in relation to the didactic implications that can be brought about while teaching and the importance of teachers having and teaching critical literacy is highlighted.
