Teachers' Professional Knowledge Bases for Offshore Education:Two Case Studies of Western Teachers Working in IndonesiaExley, Beryl Elizabeth January 2005 (has links)
This research thesis set out to better understand the professional knowledge bases of Western teachers working in offshore education in Indonesia. This research explored what two groups of Western teachers said about the students they taught, their own role, professional and social identity, the knowledge transmitted, and their pedagogical strategies whilst teaching offshore. Such an investigation is significant on a number of levels. Firstly, these teachers were working within a period of rapid economic, political, cultural and educational change described as 'New Times' (Hall, 1996a). Secondly, the experiences of teachers working in offshore education have rarely been reported in the literature (see Johnston, 1999). A review of the literature on teachers' professional knowledge bases (Shulman, 1986a, 1986b, 1987; Turner-Bisset, 1997, 1999) concluded that, in general terms, teachers draw on three main interrelated and changing knowledge bases: knowledge of content, knowledge of teaching processes and knowledge of their students. This review also explored the notion that teachers had an additional knowledge base that was in a continual state of negotiation and closely related to the aforementioned knowledge bases: teachers' knowledge of their own and students' pedagogic identities (Bernstein, 2000). A theoretical framework appropriate to exploring the overarching research problem was developed. This framework drew on models of teachers' knowledge bases (Elbaz, 1983; Shulman, 1986a, 1986b, 1987; Nias, 1989; Turner-Bisset, 1997, 1999), the sociology of knowledge (Bernstein, 1975, 1990, 1996, 1999, 2000), and notions of pedagogic identity (Bernstein, 2000). This framework theorised the types of knowledges taught, categories of teaching process knowledge, and the range of pedagogic identities made available to teachers and students in new times. More specifically, this research examined two case studies (see Stake, 1988, 2000; Yin, 1994) of Western teachers employed by Australian educational institutions who worked in Central Java, Indonesia, in the mid-to-late 1990s. The teacher participants from both case studies taught a range of subjects and used English as the medium of instruction. Data for both case studies were generated via semistructured interviews (see Kvale, 1996; Silverman, 1985, 1997). The interviews focused on the teachers' descriptions of the learner characteristics of Indonesian students, their professional roles whilst teaching offshore, and curriculum and pedagogic design. The analyses produced four major findings. The first major finding of the analyses confirmed that the teacher participants in this study drew on all proposed professional knowledge bases and that these knowledge bases were interrelated. This suggests that teachers must have all knowledge bases present for them to do their work successfully. The second major finding was that teachers' professional knowledge bases were constantly being negotiated in response to their beliefs about their work and the past, present and future demands of the local context. For example, the content and teaching processes of English lessons may have varied as their own and their students' pedagogic identities were re-negotiated in different contexts of teaching and learning. Another major finding was that it was only when the teachers entered into dialogue with the Indonesian students and community members and/or reflective dialogue amongst themselves, that they started to question the stereotypical views of Indonesian learners as passive, shy and quiet. The final major finding was that the teachers were positioned in multiple ways by contradictory and conflicting discourses. The analyses suggested that teachers' pedagogic identities were a site of struggle between dominant market orientations and the criteria that the teachers thought should determine who was a legitimate teacher of offshore Indonesian students. The accounts from one of the case studies suggested that dominant market orientations centred on experience and qualifications in unison with prescribed and proscribed cultural, gender and age relations. Competent teachers who were perceived to be white, Western, male and senior in terms of age relations seemed to be the most easily accepted as offshore teachers of foundation programs for Indonesian students. The analyses suggested that the teachers thought that their legitimacy to be an offshore teacher of Indonesian students should be based on their teaching expertise alone. However, managers of Australian offshore educational institutions conceded that it was very difficult to bring about change in terms of teacher legitimisation. These findings have three implications for the work of offshore teachers and program administrators. Firstly, offshore programs that favour the pre-packaging of curricula content with little emphasis on the professional development and support needs of teachers do not foster work conditions which encourage teachers to re-design or modify curricula in response to the specific needs of learners. Secondly, pre-packaged programs do not support teachers to enter into negotiations concerning students' or their own pedagogic identities or the past, present and future demands of local contexts. These are important implications because they affect the way that teachers work, and hence how responsive teachers can be to learners' needs and how active they can be in the negotiation process as it relates to pedagogic identities. Finally, the findings point to the importance of establishing a learning community or learning network to assist Western teachers engaged in offshore educational work in Asian countries such as Indonesia. Such a community or network would enable teachers to engage and modify the complexity of knowledge bases required for effective localised offshore teaching. Given the burgeoning increase in the availability and use of electronic technology in new times, such as internet, emails and web cameras, these learning networks could be set up to have maximum benefit with minimal on-going costs.

Contrôle cavitaire de la réactivité redox d'un ion métallique (Cu) dans un environnement biomimétique / Supramolecular redox control of a biomimetic metallo-site (Cu) embedded in a cavityBrugnara, Andrea 18 November 2013 (has links)
La molécule X6TMPA, constituée d’une unité TMPA (tris(2-pyridylméthyl)amine) greffée de façon covalente à trois des six unités aromatiques du calix[6]arène, permet de coordiner et stabiliser un ion cuivre (Cu+ et Cu2+) dans un environnement mononucléaire. Ces composés possèdent des propriétés uniques en chimie hôte-invité ainsi qu’en réactivité redox. De tels systèmes présentent cependant des limitations car : – le macrocycle et les complexes métalliques associés ne sont solubles qu’en milieu organique ; – le complexe cuivreux obtenu avec un tel macrocycle n’est réactif vis-à-vis de l’oxygène qu’à l’état solide. Le présent travail de thèse décrit les modifications introduites dans la structure du composé X6TMPA pour faire face à ces restrictions, détaillant ainsi les études conduites afin d’évaluer l’impact des modifications sur les propriétés des molécules résultantes. Le chapitre 2 présente la stratégie synthétique de « trifonctionnalisation » du grand col du macrocycle. Elle a été employée pour l’introduction de groupements hydrophiles, qui rendent le calix[6]arène et les complexes métalliques associés solubles en milieu aqueux. Des études de reconnaissance moléculaire en solution aqueuse ont été ainsi menées. Une propriété très remarquable en chimie hôte-invité est la forte affinité du complexe cuivrique pour l’anion fluorure en milieu aqueux. Le chapitre 3 présente la stratégie synthétique de « hexafonctionnalisation » du grand col du macrocycle. Elle a permis d’obtenir des composés qui ont été utilisés pour des applications telles que l’immobilisation sur surface et la réaction de monoclick. Le chapitre 4 présente la stratégie synthétique de « trifonctionnalisation » du petit col du macrocycle. Elle a permis d’obtenir des systèmes réactifs en solution, notamment un composé contenant trois unités phénol qui donne un radical stable à température ambiante ainsi qu’un composé contenant trois unités quinone dans lequel la cavité est devenue une unité redox-active. Ainsi, des études concernant les macrocycles et leurs complexes monométalliques à base de Zn2+, Cu+ et Cu2+ sont exposées et discutées. / The X6TMPA molecule is composed by a tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TMPA) cap covalently linked to the small rim of the calix[6]arene. This compound can coordinate and stabilize a Cu(I)/Cu(II) ion in a mononuclear environment. These compounds possess unique properties in host-guest and redox chemistry.This PhD thesis work describes some synthetic strategies employed in order to modify the scaffold of the macrocycle, either at the large or the small rim. Moreover, the studies conducted in order to evaluate the impact of each structural modification on the reactivity of the resulting system are detailed. Chapter 2 describes the “large rim tri-functionalization” strategy. It has been employed to introduce three hydrophilic moieties on the calix[6]arene unit. These groups enable the water-solubilization of the molecule, as well as the Cu(I)/Cu(II) monometallic complexes. For these systems, host-guest chemistry in aqueous media has been explored: a remarkable property is the high affinity of the cupric complex for fluoride anion. Chapter 3 describes the “large rim hexa-functionalization” strategy. The obtained compounds have been employed for novel applications, as surface functionalization or “monoclick” reaction. Chapter 4 describes the “small rim tri-functionalization” strategy. The obtained compounds are reactive in solution. A phenol-containing macrocycle, that gives a stable radical species at room temperature, and a quinone-containing macrocycle, in which the calix[6]arene moiety is a redox-active unit, are presented. Moreover, the reactivity of the monometallic complexes (Zinc, Copper) has been explored and discussed.

Capsules hélicoïdales auto-organisées par repliement d’oligoamides aromatiques pour la reconnaissance moléculaire / Helical capsules based on aromatic oligoamide foldamers for molecular recognitionLautrette, Guillaume 27 September 2013 (has links)
La reconnaissance moléculaire constitue l’une des questions fondamentales les plus discutées dans le domaine de la chimie supramoléculaire. Cette thèse présente la conception, la synthèse et l’étude des propriétés de capsules hélicoïdales auto-organisées par repliement d’oligoamides aromatiques. Ces récepteurs sont constitués d’une chaîne oligomérique se repliant en hélice et comprenant une séquence d’unités codant pour des diamètres différents. Le repliement de l’oligomère donne naissance à une cavité pouvant accueillir des molécules invitées. La grande modularité des séquences, permettant une évolution contrôlée des structures des foldamères, donne lieu à la reconnaissance sélective et anticipée de substrats d’intérêts biologiques. Le phénomène d’encapsulation a été mis en évidence en solution par spectroscopie RMN et CD, et dans le solide par diffraction des rayons X. / Molecular recognition is one of the major challenges of supramolecular chemistry. Here, we present the design, synthesis and study of helical capsules properties self-organised by aromatic oligoamide folding. These receptors consist of oligomeric chains that fold into a helical conformation and comprise of a sequence of units which code for different diameters. Oligomeric folding defines a cavity which can recognize guests. The great modularity of the sequences has allowed a controlled evolution of foldamer structure resulting in the selective and predict recognition of biological substrates. The phenomenon of encapsulation was demonstrated in solution by NMR and CD spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray diffraction.
