To get the results, is used a reflection about ethic's concept starting on the Greek Ancient of Prot??goras, S??crates, Plat??o, Arist??teles, Hannah Arendt in twentieth century. The caution's ethics, the ethics and education and the education for the future were discussed on this reflection by the view of some theoretical thinkers like Yves de La Taille, S??rgio Sinay, L??liam do Valle, Leonardo Boff and Moacir Gadotti. This research analyses documents related to education in general and high school specifically, from the Federal Constitution to School Regulations, the articles about students integral formation, specially ethics. The methodological option is a qualitativa research with a case study based on semistructured interviews with students and teachers. High school teenagers and their teachers were interviewed in these areas: Human Sciences, Language Sciences and its technologies and Mathmatics and its technologies . Ethics conceptions are cleared for both: students and teachers. The importance of teachers during the students ethics formation are analised for both groups. The family absence during the process of education and ethics of a student is noticed with both groups, too. Finally, is presented a suggestion : a family gradual involvement during the educational process of their children like a concreta measure for a construction of an ethical person. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar o papel exercido pelo professor na forma????o ??tica de alunos do ensino m??dio em uma escola privada na cidade de Luzi??nia, Goi??s.

Esta dissertação pretende inserir alguns pontos em um território que atravessa as áreas da Educação e da História: o ensino de História. O problema investigativo deste trabalho se volta para o professor de História na sala de aula e questiona: como ele se constitui como sujeito? Pesquisador ou mero reprodutor de discursos acadêmicos? De que forma a bagagem acumulada no estudo dos conhecimentos históricos em nível universitário afeta a sua prática professoral? Que lugar ocupam os saberes e os fazeres docentes no ensino da História? O referencial teórico principal é composto por escritos de Michel Foucault, buscando assinalar as críticas que o autor fez à escrita da História. Como ferramenta de análise, optou-se pela descrição de cenas de aulas de História, quando o pesquisador foucaultiano e o docente se encontram no palco do acontecimento: a sala de aula. As cenas narram as relações estabelecidas entre os corpos de professor e de alunos e que resultam em choques, confrontos e embates de verdades, posições e significações. Elas buscam inserir problematizações neste cenário, fazendo surgir as experiências intempestivas e as vivências infames. O professor de História, na perspectiva foucaultiana, anseia por buscar elementos que tornem o passado um objeto vivo. Assim como aquele que se denominou historiador do presente, o caminho investigativo desta pesquisa aspira pensar de que maneira pode-se contribuir para libertar os pensamentos e as narrativas das estruturas engessadas que persistem nos ditos e escritos históricos. / This dissertation intents to insert some points in a territory that crosses the Areas of the Education and History: History teaching. The investigative problem of this study turns to the History professor in the classroom and interrogates: how does he constitute himself as a subject? Is he a researcher or mere reproducer of academic discourses? How does the know-how of the historical knowledge accumulated during the study, in university level, affect his professorial practices? What places do the professor’s knowledge and doings occupy in the teaching of History? The main theoretical framework is constituted by Michel Foucault’s writings, aiming to analyze the critics made by the author about the writings of the History. The description of History classes’ scenes was used as tool of analysis, when Foucault’s researcher and the professor meet each other on the happening’s stage: the classroom. The scenes narrate the relations established between professor and students that result in shock, confrontation and true oppositions, positions and significations. They attempt to reveal the truth established around this scenery, promoting untimely and infamous experiences. The History professor, according to Foucault’s perspective, is eager to find elements that turn the past into live object. As that one who called himself as the historian of the present, the investigative path of this research aspires to think how it is possible to contribute to release the thoughts and narratives from the plastered structures that remain in the historical sayings and writings.

A discussão que emerge da Psicanálise acerca da impossibilidade de educação aponta para os limites existentes na ação educativa, permitindo-nos refletir, através do vínculo com a noção de transferência, sobre o que se convencionou chamar de \"relação professor-aluno\". Os educadores nem sempre percebem que a educação não se limita à realidade externa, uma vez que os personagens dessa suposta relação estão mergulhados na realidade transferencial. Compreendemos a pretensa relação professor-aluno como o núcleo onde se de-senvolve a educação propriamente dita. No entanto, aquilo que a Pedagogia atual vislumbra como previsão e controle dos efeitos dessa \"relação\", a saber, o domínio do conhecimento científico sobre o desenvolvimento das capacidades maturacionais e o ajuste da prática do educador à realidade psicológica de cada aluno, opõe-se ao caráter imprevisível inerente à ação educativa. Uma vez submetidos às \"leis\" do inconsciente, os efeitos do encontro entre professor e aluno estão além de qualquer previsão e controle. O que nos deve interessar, então, é a compreensão da origem desses efeitos. E é isso que o conceito de transferência vem esclarecer. / The discussion that emerges from Psychoanalysis regarding the impossibility on education points out to the limits of the existing educational activity, which allows us to reflect, throughout the relationship with the notion of transference, about what is conventionally called \"teacher-student relationship.\" Educators do not always realize that education is not limited to external reality, since the actors in this supposed relationship are immerse in a transference reality. We understand the alleged teacher-student relationship as the core where education develops itself. However, what the current Pedagogy (Education) envisions as prediction and control of the effects of this \"relationship\", namely, the domain of scientific knowledge about the development of maturational qualification (capacities) and the adjustments of educator´s practices to the reality of each student, opposes to the unpredictable nature inherent to the educational activity. Once submitted to the \"laws\" of the unconscious, the effects of the encounter teacher-student are beyond prediction and control. What should interest us, then, is to understand the origin of these effects. And this is what the concept of transference elucidates.

Within the field of mathematics teacher education, mathematics graduate students have recently become subjects of investigation. While research in this area tends to focus on future schoolteachers, little has been done to examine prospective university teachers of mathematics and their understanding of its teaching and learning. As a result, the experiences of mathematics graduate students and the development of their teaching practices are not well understood. Almost seventy-five percent of mathematics PhDs will become professors at post-secondary institutions dedicated to undergraduate education. Since much of their careers will be spent in the classroom, attending to the manner in which mathematics graduate students develop their teaching practices is important in understanding how they are shaped for their future profession. The purpose of this research project was to uncover issues and difficulties that arise as mathematics graduate students develop their views of their possible future roles as university teachers of mathematics. Over a six-month period, conversations were held with six mathematics graduate students exploring their experiences of and perspectives on mathematics teaching. Using hermeneutic inquiry and thematic analysis, the conversations were analysed and interpreted with attention to themes and experiences that had the potential to influence the graduate students ideas about and approaches to the task of teaching. This dissertation also attends to notions of identity for mathematics graduate students, in particular their emerging identities as mathematicians and what being a mathematician in the world means to them, as well as their identities as future post-secondary teachers of mathematics. The structures and expectations of behaviour within their department of mathematics had implications for how the participants formed their identities as mathematicians and mathematics teachers. Lave and Wengers notion of legitimate peripheral participation is explored with regard to the meta-themes that came through the analysis. These meta-themes are: replication where university mathematics teacher identity and classroom practices became a process of replication; resignation the research participants felt resigned to one particular way of being in mathematics and of mathematics teaching; and despondence the participants were beginning to lose their excitement about becoming post-secondary teachers of mathematics.

Background: In a context of belt-tightening policy and of increasing competition between universities in France and in Germany, universities and therefore professors are required to increase their efficiency and to provide evidence of it. Performance measurement systems are assumed to increase transparency and incentives within the university sector. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to analyze to which extent performance measurement of professors at one French and one German university is relevant and how this performance can be measured. The study is conducted at the business school l’IECS Ecole de Management de Strasbourg (France) and within the Faculty of Business & Economics at the Europa-Universität Viadrina in Frankfurt an der Oder (Germany). Method: Performance measurement is considered through the study and the comparison of two universities. Based on a theoretical framework including theories from the private sector, the public sector and the university sector, several in-depth interviews are conducted to collect facts and opinions from both professors and administrators and from both the IECS and the Viadrina. Conclusion: This study assesses the relevance of the measurement performance of professors at the IECS and the Viadrina. It provides also the main areas where professors’ performance should be measured and the main methods to measure this performance. Lastly the thesis raises several issues linked to performance measurement such as the organizational culture of universities, the utilisation of performance measurement system information and the impacts of performance measurement.

L'objectiu d'aquesta investigació és conèixer l'orientació pedagògica del professor universitari i els elements que incideixen en el desenvolupament professional de la seva carrera com a docent.L'estructura del present estudi inclou quatre grans blocs diferenciats. El primer bloc consta d'introducció i una justificació, s'estableixen els objectius generals i específics i el pla de treball a seguir. El segon bloc revisa, analitza i resumeix la principal literatura relacionada amb l'objecte d'estudi.- En el primer capítol, "Context de la docència universitària", es descriuen les principals característiques de l'entorn sociocultural, polític i acadèmic del treball del professor universitari.La inclinació que pren la recerca en docència universitària parteix de la perspectiva que aquesta ha de procurar aprenentatges significatius en els estudiants. Això s'aconsegueix quan aquests canvien i desenvolupen concepcions pròpies sobre la matèria. Però els estudis que han relacionat la docència de qualitat amb els resultats d'aprenentatge dels estudiants s'han dedicat principalment a analitzar les estratègies de la pràctica educativa dels professors i pocs s'han centrat a estudiar les concepcions o teories implícites dels docents respecte de per què porten a terme dites estratègies i no d'altres. A la segona part del capítol intentem analitzar els principals enfocaments d'ensenyament i aprenentatge i les concepcions docents dels professors universitaris.- En el segon capítol "Desenvolupament professional del professor universitari" defineix desenvolupament docent i presenta els factors que influeixen en el mateix. Ens serveix per explicar el desenvolupament professional del docent i el significat de les etapes i transicions en el desenvolupament docent. Tanmateix pretén aprofundir en els factors afavoridors i els limitadors del desenvolupament del professor universitari com a docent. Aquesta qüestió, poc resolta a l'ensenyament universitari, no deixa de ser transcendental i essencial per conèixer on cal incidir a l'hora de dissenyar i desenvolupar programes de formació.- Esbrinar quin és el model de desenvolupament docent més adient a les característiques del nostre professorat en els diferents moments de la seva trajectòria professional passa per estudiar les principals teories del desenvolupament docent. Així, el tercer capítol ofereix una àmplia perspectiva de les "Teories sobre el desenvolupament professional del professor universitari": teories sobre l'edat i el cicle vital de les persones adultes, teories del desenvolupament cognitiu, moral i del jo, teories sobre l'aprenentatge dels adults i dels professors, teories del desenvolupament de la carrera docent i teories del desenvolupament pedagògic. - El quart capítol del marc teòric "Models i programes de formació i desenvolupament professional del professor universitari" exposa els principals enfocaments sobre el desenvolupament professional que ens ajudaran a especificar quina formació inicial i contínua ha de ser la més adient per perfeccionar la docència del professorat en funció de les etapes de la carrera docent, fent un especial èmfasi a l'etapa d'iniciació a la docència.El tercer bloc conté l'estudi empíric de la recerca. El primer capítol, "Disseny i instrumentalització de l'estudi de camp", concreta el disseny de l'estudi de camp, la instrumentalització (qüestionari, entrevista i anàlisi de documents) i la mostra (professors de la UAB i la UPC) i les seves principals característiques. El següent capítol, "Desenvolupament de l'estudi de camp", explica el procés de construcció i validació dels instruments. El darrer capítol d'aquest bloc, titulat "Resultats", presenta el conjunt de dades obtingudes després del tractament de la informació.En el darrer bloc d'aquesta investigació, es formulen unes conclusions generals i específiques que sintetitzen aquells aspectes més importants explorats a través de la recerca. Tanmateix s'apunten unes propostes d'intervenció, es mostren les limitacions de l'estudi i es fan uns suggeriments respecte de futures línies d'investigació que es puguin obrir arran de la mateixa. / El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer la orientación pedagógica del profesor universitario y los elementos que inciden en el desarrollo profesional de su carrera como docente.La estructura del presente estudio incluye cuatro grandes bloques diferenciados. El primer bloque consta de una introducción y una justificación, se establecen los objetivos generales y específicos y el plan de trabajo a seguir.El segundo bloque revisa, analiza y resume la principal literatura relacionada con el objeto de estudio.- En el primer capítulo, "Contexto de la docencia universitaria", se describen las principales características del entorno sociocultural, político y académico del trabajo del profesor universitario. La inclinación que toma la investigación en docencia universitaria parte de la perspectiva que ésta ha de procurar aprendizajes significativos en los estudiantes. Esto se consigue cuando los estudiantes cambian y desarrollan concepciones propias sobre la materia. Pero los estudios que han relacionado la docencia de calidad con los resultados de aprendizaje de los estudiantes se han dedicado principalmente a analizar las estrategias de la práctica educativa de los profesores y pocos se han centrado en el estudio de las concepciones o teorías implícitas de los docentes respecto de porqué llevan a cabo dichas estrategias y no otras. La segunda parte del capítulo analiza las principales concepciones docentes de los profesores universitarios.- El segundo capítulo "Desarrollo profesional del profesor universitario" define el concepto de desarrollo docente y presenta los factores que influyen en el mismo. Nos sirve para explicar el desarrollo profesional del docente y el significado de las etapas y transiciones en el desarrollo docente. Al mismo tiempo pretende profundizar en los elementos favorecedores y limitadores de su desarrollo. Esta cuestión, poco discutida en la educación superior, no deja de ser trascendental y esencial para conocer donde incidir a la hora de diseñar y desarrollar programas de formación.- Averiguar qué modelo de desarrollo docente es el más adecuado en función de las necesidades y preocupaciones del profesorado en los diferentes momentos de su trayectoria profesional pasa por estudiar las principales teorías del desarrollo docente. El tercer capítulo ofrece una amplia perspectiva de las "Teorías sobre el desarrollo profesional del profesor universitario": teorías sobre la edad y el ciclo vital de las personas adultas, teorías del desarrollo cognitivo, moral y del yo, teorías sobre el aprendizaje de los adultos y de los profesores, teorías del desarrollo de la carrera docente y teorías del desarrollo pedagógico. - El cuarto capítulo del marco teórico "Modelos y programas de formación y desarrollo profesional del profesor universitario" expone los principales enfoques sobre el desarrollo profesional que nos ayudarán a especificar qué formación inicial y permanente ha de ser la más adecuada para perfeccionar la docencia del profesorado en función de las etapas del desarrollo de la carrera docente, haciendo especial hincapié en la etapa de iniciación a la docencia.El tercer bloque presenta el estudio empírico de la investigación. En el primer capítulo, "Diseño e instrumentalización del estudio de campo" se concreta el diseño, la instrumentalización (cuestionario, entrevista y análisis de documentos) y la muestra (profesores de la UAB y la UPC) y sus principales características. El siguiente capítulo sobre el "Desarrollo del estudio de campo" explica el proceso de construcción y validación de los instrumentos. El último capítulo de este bloque, "Resultados", presenta el conjunto de datos conseguidos después del tratamiento de la información.En el último bloque de la investigación, se formulan conclusiones generales y específicas, se apuntan propuestas de intervención, se muestran las limitaciones del estudio y se realizan unas sugerencias sobre futuras líneas de investigación. / The objective of this research is twofold: to know how university teachers approach their teaching and to know what kind of factors influence such approach and the professional development of their teaching career.The study is structured in four different parts: The first part contains an introduction and a justification of the subject matter, then the general and specific objectives are established and finally we set the work plan we are going to follow.The second part reviews the main literature related with the subject of the research.- In the first chapter, "Context of the university teaching", we describe the main characteristics of the sociocultural, political and academic context in which university teachers work.Present research on university teaching reveals the assumption that teaching has to procure students meaningful and deep learning. This can be achieved when they change and develop their own conceptions about the subject. But the studies that have related quality teaching to the learning outcomes have mainly looked at the teachers' teaching strategies and only a few have focused on conceptions or implicit teaching theories about why teachers develop such strategies. In the second part of this chapter we analyse the main teaching and learning approaches and the teaching conceptions of university professors.- In the second chapter, "Professional development of university teachers" we explore how teachers develop and we present the elements that influence its professional development. It helps us explain the stages and transitions in the teaching development. It also goes in depth with the factors that foster and limit the professional development of the professor as a teacher. We believe this is an essential question to look at in order to know where we should insist when we design and develop teacher development programs.- In order to know what professional development approach is more convenient to the different characteristics of our teachers in the different stages of their professional careers we must consider the main teacher developmental theories. The third chapter offers a wide perspective of the "Teachers' developmental theories": theories about the age and vital cycles of adult people; cognitive, moral and ego developmental theories; theories about how adult learners and professors learn; career stage theories, and pedagogical developmental theories.- The fourth chapter of the theoretical framework "University teachers' professional development models and programmes", exposes the present approaches about professional development which will help us specify what initial and continuous training is the most appropriate to improve teachers teaching in the different stages of their careers.The third part of the research contains the empirical study. As its name indicates, its first chapter, "Design and instruments of the field of study", explains the design of the study, the instruments we have used (questionnaire, interviews and document analysis) and the sample of the research (professors of two Catalan universities: Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya). The following chapter, "Development of the field of study", explains the process of construction and validation of the instruments. The last chapter of this block "Results" presents the data we have obtained after the statistical treatment. The last part of this research formulates some general and some specific conclusions that synthesize the most important aspects explored throughout the research. We also point out some intervention proposals, we show the study limitations and formulate some suggestions regarding future topics of research to be explore.

This journal-article-formatted dissertation explores university professors’ and trainers’ practices in engaging students in their classrooms. By systematically examining the current literature related to engaging instruction, I identified the core components of engaging instruction, as well as the strategies to effectively engage students. Despite the paucity of available empirical studies investigating the ‘engagement’ concept for professors and trainers, the available studies were examined to understand how researchers conceptualized and operationalized “effective engagement.” Findings from this literature review provided a theoretical foundation for the research. I explored the perceptions and practices of college professors regarding engaging instruction. I interviewed seven professors face-to-face. Subsequently, I analyzed the interview transcripts using the constant comparative method. Findings from the study showed that the participants had varied views. Nevertheless, they agreed that an engaging professor must focus on learning; consider various aspects of students’ personal development including their cognitive, social, and emotional development; and take care of different student learning styles, for example, visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Participants expressed the importance of student engagement. Body language, verbal and non-verbal cues, and eye contact were the main parameters used by the participants to evaluate student engagement. Participants also emphasized the importance of asking questions, judging from student responses and assessing instructional effectiveness by evaluating the questions asked by students. Similarly, I also explored seven trainers’ perceptions on engaging instruction and the strategies they used for engaging trainees by conducting face-to-face interviews. I utilized the constant comparison method to analyze the interview transcripts. Major findings indicate that trainers should be trainee-centered in instruction, accommodate different learning styles, elicit trainee participation by creating an encouraging class environment, and connect with trainees by building rapport early in a training session.

G.W.L. Marshall-Hall began work as first Ormond Professor of Music at Melbourne University in 1891. In July and August 1898 he published a book of poems and gave a public address, which, together, led to demands for his dismissal. The outcry against him came largely from a section of the community which Matthew Arnold, some thirty years earlier in England, had identified as Hebraic. The radical contrast between, on the one hand, the underlying assumptions of this group, particularly its epistemology and axiology and, on the other, the Hellenic, Existentialist axioms that informed Marshall-Hall’s thinking, created a situation which was structurally conducive to the hostile outbreak of collective action that occurred. This structural conductiveness was reinforced by a number of elements of strain - a belief in the debased character of the times; a pervasive Manicheanism; various misunderstandings in regard to Marshall-Hall’s views, deriving from the unsystematic and frequently allegorical manner of their exposition; and contemporary perceptions of his role as a university teacher, and of the tone in which his outbursts were couched (itself the outcome of a blend of conscious beliefs and unconscious motivation).

A escolha do tema de pesquisa decorreu da constatação de dificuldades de alunos da 5ª a 8ª séries em desenvolver a capacidade de produzir e compreender textos nas mais diversas situações de comunicação, numa escola em que os professores são licenciados e adotam as orientações oficiais em relação ao ensino da Língua Portuguesa. Em função da pesquisa, fez-se um estudo das principais concepções de linguagem e de ensino da Língua Portuguesa presentes na produção científica brasileira, com destaque à concepção da linguagem como forma de interação, por ser esta a mais consensual entre os pesquisadores e, também, a opção adotada nas propostas curriculares oficiais. Considerando-se que esta concepção privilegia como conteúdos as práticas da leitura, da produção de texto e da análise lingüística, a pesquisa constituiu em verificar sua recepção, através do discurso e das práticas de ensino de professores. A pesquisa, de tipo qualitativa, utilizou-se do estudo de caso e consistiu da observação de aulas de dois professores de Português, na 5ªsérie, de duas escolas públicas. Foram feitas, também, entrevistas e questionários com esses professores e seus alunos, bem como observação de situações informais na escola, coleta de textos e produções dos alunos, plano de ensino dos professores etc. A intenção final foi juntar o embasamento teórico deste estudo e a análise dos dados coletados, tendo em vista fornecer contribuições teórico - práticas ao aprimoramento das práticas pedagógicas do atual ensino de língua materna no ensino fundamental, lastreadas numa perspectiva didáticopedagógica de cunho crítico e numa concepção de linguagem interacionista.
