Being one of the most epoch making invention of the 21st century, computers have fundamentally altered every aspect of people&rsquo / s lives, including the education domain. Thus, for decades, computer-assisted language learning has received considerable amount of attention among researchers and language teachers by serving interactive, multi-sensory, and autonomous learning opportunities. In this respect, innumerable large or small-scale projects blazed a trail for other teachers to follow. The present study, therefore, is primarily concerned with the students&rsquo / attitudes towards computer-assisted language learning. Its main purpose is to investigate what the students&rsquo / attitudes are towards computer- assisted language learning (CALL) by also taking their attitude towards computer assisted learning (CAL) and foreign language learning (FLL) into consideration. Finally, factors affecting students&rsquo / attitudes and the relationships among computer assisted learning, computer assisted language learning and foreign language learning are also explored within the scope of the study. The findings demonstrate that most of the students have positive attitudes towards computer assisted learning, computer assisted language learning and foreign language learning. Age, grade, gender, years of studying English and prior CALL experience affect students&rsquo / attitudes. Moreover, students attitudes towards computer assisted language learning, computer- assisted language learning, and foreign language learning are, indeed, interrelated.

This study aimed to explore teachers&rsquo / conceptions of critical thinking and practices for critical thinking development in Turkish, social studies, science and technology and mathematics courses at seventh grade level. The study was conducted with a phenomenological approach in which 70 teachers from 14 elementary schools in Ankara participated. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers. The findings of the study revealed that there were cognitive skills, dispositions and criteria that teachers perceived to relate to critical thinking. The results also shed light on teachers&rsquo / perceptions on the acquisition of critical thinking, the roles that they assumed in the process of enhancing students&rsquo / critical thinking, teaching approaches they held with regard to the enhancement of students&rsquo / critical thinking, and the conditions that they deemed necessary to develop critical thinking in class. Moreover, teachers&rsquo / planning for the integration of critical thinking into their instruction revealed the limitations of the programs in teaching for critical thinking and the alterations that they made to eliminate these limitations and set the stage for students to think critically. In addition, teachers&rsquo / practices for the incorporation of critical thinking into instruction at seventh grade level illuminated instructional strategies that teachers used, in-class activities that they conducted, and assignments that they gave to students for the purpose of fostering their critical thinking. Furthermore, perceptions on teachers&rsquo / assessment of students&rsquo / critical thinking provided insight into the instruments that teachers used in the assessment of students&rsquo / critical thinking, the kind of critical thinking skills and dispositions that they aimed to assess, their perceptions on criteria by which they judged students&rsquo / critical thinking, and reasons behind any reservations about the assessment of students&rsquo / critical thinking. Besides, teachers&rsquo / perceptions on obstacles to and opportunities for the development of students&rsquo / critical thinking helped to identify the factors that inhibited or fostered their ability to focus on critical thinking skills in their classes. Finally, it should be noted that with regard to all the aforementioned issues, discipline-specific categories, as well as the categories across all four disciplines, emerged.

The assertion that knowledge of architecture is not an objective canon, but rather the knowledge of its practice, requires an inquiry into its personal dimension, which cannot be articulated completely. The investigations on the inarticulate (tacit) portion of knowledge in Polanyi&#039 / s works enable an inquiry into the act of comprehension with its cognitive value. This inquiry regards architectural knowledge as personal and acquired through experiences of comprehending meanings in personal problem solving processes like designing. The reorganization of knowledge through articulation is explained to be possible by comprehending the meaning transmitetd through the articulate. Continuity is viewed through the idea that, the comprehended meaning irrevocably enlarges personal knowledge and contributes to the comprehended meaning in the upcoming experiences of the individual. This approach to continuity is the account for regarding architectural education as a self conducted act that lasts as long as the individual continues comprehending. The first year architecture education is regarded as a time limited external support for preparing the students for this continuous self-education. The discussion of the thesis is structured around the depicted polar tension of the first year design studio / between the conformist tendency of the students and the instructors&#039 / attitude to enable students&#039 / creative experience. The first year of institutional education on architecture is significant for the opportunities it provides for the students&#039 / transition form confomism to creativity. The aim is to illustrate how it functions for transition to reintroduce the students&#039 / personal dimension into their articulations in the first year design studio practice. This attitude is displayed by exemplifying the setting designs and practices for students&#039 / reorganization of knowledge through the creative act of articulation. The thesis adopts in its discussions that the design exercise is a task handled not only for design learning but also for learning how to learn from the design act, which enables the development of creative skills.

The aim of this study is to seek fundamental uses and gratifications of a social networking website, Facebook as a case, and the possible advantages and the challenges of utilization of Facebook for instructional activities. The research study encompassed four main steps / the analysis of uses &amp / gratifications of Facebook, the analysis of Facebook utilization possibilities for instruction, the interviewing for two preceding steps, and the realization and analysis of a course on Facebook. In the study both qualitative and quantitative data were gathered through questionnaires, interviews and open-ended questions. The qualitative data was analyzed according to qualitative data analysis techniques and quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS software. The results showed that Facebook which is perceived as a usable tool has a potential utilization for instructional activities. As quite new context, the participants seemed concerned about participating any learning activity on Facebook. Most of the participants in all steps of the study emphasized that Facebook should be a supplementary material for instructional activities. It is concluded that individual differences and alternative methods must be studied for better integration of Facebook into education.

In this study, a three phase Sequential Mixed Method Design was utilized to test a research based model explaining the relationships between technology integration and the factors affecting it. In the first phase, interviews were conducted with 20 elementary school teachers to identify the most common factors affecting elementary teachers&rsquo / use of technologies. The qualitative findings then guided the development of a survey instrument in the second phase. In the last phase, this survey was administered to 1080 classroom teachers in Ankara. In this phase, a path analytical approach was utilized to investigate the direct and indirect effects of teaching experience, computer use in years, principal support, colleague support, technology competency, teachers&rsquo / attitude and belief towards using technology and lack of time on technology integration to elementary school settings. Our findings indicated that technology integration is a complex process affected by many factors and these factors are highly related to each other. Within all factors, teachers&rsquo / technology competency has the largest direct effect on technology integration. Also, principal support, computer use in years, colleague support and teachers&rsquo / attitude and belief have important influences on technology integration. The technology integration model developed in this study provides a valuable tool for both policy makers and school principals to design and develop some strategies to bring success about integrating technologies in school environments. It will help the school principals in developing a vision and plan, indicating how technology will be integrated to the lessons and how the teachers are expected to use technologies.

Ive Got the Power!: Investigating Pre-service Special Educators Perceptions and Abilities to Teach Reading to Students with Disabilities Tandria Milagno Callins M.S., CCC-SLP ABSTRACT This study, through a multiple case study approach, was designed to investigate how pre-service special educators were empowered to teach reading to students with disabilities during their final internship. A developmental-constructivism theoretical framework guided this study in order to examine how a teacher preparation program prepared a six-member cohort of pre-service special educators in the areas of efficacy, competency, and preparedness. Based on the principles of developmental-constructivism, the researcher investigated whether or not these pre-service special educators became more empowered in the areas of efficacy, competency, and preparedness through active-learning and hands-on opportunities. The researcher employed a concurrent mixed-method design for data collection and analysis. To complement the quantitative data from the surveys, the qualitative data from the interviews were collected in order to provide support, to explain, and to account for discrepancies in the data. The levels of empowerment were measured by the differences between self-reported data on pretest and posttest measures on the Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES), Special Education Competency Scale (SECS), and Preparedness to Teach Reading Survey (PTRS). Videotaped observations of each pre-service special educator teaching a reading lesson were collected and analyzed to determine the percentage of observable reading practices. Results included both increases and decreases in perceptions of empowerment on the TSES, SECS, and PTRS. The pre-service special educators were able to demonstrate approximately 50-65% of the reading competencies on the reading observation rubric. The results also revealed gaps between self-perceptions and actual practices among the participants. Institutional barriers such as student behaviors and the mentor/mentee relationship accounted for most of the gaps observed between beliefs and practices.

The study using the qualitative approach is descriptive in the data analysis. As a methodology, the case study was chosen and the data collection instruments were documental analysis and semistructured interviews. Initially the possibilities of the research were tested with a literature review, bringing together authors for the theoretical basis of the study. An exploratory visit was then made to select the faculty, the schools and the subjects participating in the research, selected according to established criteria such as location of the faculty and schools, receptivity of the directors and teachers, formation Teacher's time of service. One college, two schools, two faculty members and two teachers from two elementary schools where the Supervised Internship develops have met the established criteria and have therefore been chosen. With the insertion in the field, faculty, schools and teachers were characterized for the purpose of identifying the environment and research subjects. It can be considered that FECLESC / UECE's Supervised Internship, especially in the Degree in Chemistry, was constituted, going through many difficulties, manifesting conceptions, ideologies and experiences of each instructor of the internship, since there was no systematization at the beginning of the course. The research also showed that the guidelines prescribed in the official and institutional documents currently in force for the development of the Supervised Internship, propose a conception of the internship in a critical and reflective perspective. In the conceptions of the subject teachers of the research, the stage is important, it is the moment of the student being before the reality of the teaching profession. However, at that moment, the ideology, culture and experience of each subject are manifested, since each one performs his work within the process, each one tries to conform to the regulatory norms systematized in official and institutional documents, that is, Each one develops its role in direct confrontation between the official curriculum, its culture and conceptions. / Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo compreender o papel desempenhado pelo Estágio Curricular Supervisionado do Curso de Licenciatura em Química da FECLESC/UECE e sua efetivação nos espaços da Universidade e da Escola Básica, analisando as concepções dos agentes pedagógicos envolvidos, considerando a perspectiva da unidade teoria e prática na formação docente. O estudo, utilizando a abordagem qualitativa é descritivo na análise dos dados. Como metodologia escolheu-se o estudo de caso e os instrumentos de coleta dos dados foram análise documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Inicialmente foram testadas as possibilidades da pesquisa com uma revisão de literatura, reunindo autores para a fundamentação teórica do estudo. Em seguida foi feita uma visita exploratória, com a finalidade de escolher a faculdade, as escolas e os sujeitos participantes da pesquisa, selecionados de acordo com critérios, estabelecidos, tais como localização da faculdade e das escolas, receptividade dos diretores e professores, a formação inicial e o tempo de serviço dos docentes. Uma faculdade, duas escolas, dois professores da faculdade e dois professores de duas escolas de educação básica onde o Estágio Curricular Supervisionado se desenvolve se enquadraram nos critérios estabelecidos, tendo, portanto, sido escolhidos. Com a inserção no campo, a faculdade, as escolas e os professores foram caracterizados com a finalidade de identificar o ambiente e os sujeitos da pesquisa. Pode-se considerar que o Estágio Curricular Supervisionado da FECLESC/UECE, especialmente no curso de Licenciatura em Química se constituiu, passando por muitas dificuldades, manifestando concepções, ideologias e vivências de cada docente orientador do estágio, pois não havia uma sistematização no início do curso. A pesquisa mostrou ainda, que as orientações prescritas nos documentos oficiais e institucionais atualmente vigentes para o desenvolvimento do Estágio Curricular Supervisionado, propõem uma concepção de estágio na perspectiva crítica e reflexiva. Nas concepções dos professores sujeitos da pesquisa, o estágio é importante, é o momento de o aluno estar diante da realidade da profissão docente. Entretanto, nesse momento, são manifestadas a ideologia, a cultura e a vivência de cada sujeito, uma vez que cada um desempenha o seu trabalho dentro do processo, cada um procura se adequar às normas reguladoras sistematizadas nos documentos oficiais e institucionais, ou seja, cada um desenvolve o seu papel em confronto direto entre o currículo oficial, sua cultura e concepções. / Esta investigación tuvo por objetivo comprender el papel desempeñado por la Etapa Curricular Supervisionado del Curso de Licenciatura en Química de la FECLESC / UECE y su efectividad en los espacios de la Universidad y de la Escuela Básica, analizando las concepciones de los agentes pedagógicos involucrados, considerando la perspectiva de la unidad teoría y Práctica en la formación docente.

En ese momento, se manifiestan la ideología, la cultura y la vivencia de cada sujeto, una vez que cada uno desempeña su trabajo dentro del proceso, cada uno procura adecuarse a las normas reguladoras sistematizadas en los documentos oficiales e institucionales, o sea, Cada uno desarrolla su papel en confrontación directa entre el currículo oficial, su cultura y concepciones.

A presente pesquisa, um estudo de caso de natureza qualitativa e dialética, teve como objetivo geral conhecer, interpretar, explicar e compreender as contradições existentes no processo de formação de professores leigos realizado pela FURG em SVP e como essas contradições se apresentam na prática pedagógica das alunas-professoras leigas; e sob a luz dos resultados da pesquisa poder apontar algumas sugestões de saberes que sejam capazes de contribuir na elaboração de novas propostas pedagógica para a formação de professores em serviço, na construção de seus currículos, podendo oferecer condições adequadas de produzir conhecimentos incontestáveis às alunas-professoras leigas – transformando radicalmente a realidade em que vivem e concomitantemente poder mudar suas vidas. O estudo foi realizado tendo como corpus empírico os Trabalhos de Conclusão de Curso das quarenta e sete professoras leigas que concluíram o Curso de Pedagogia – Anos Iniciais. A tese principal, de que há contradição no processo de formação dos professores leigos estudado, foi confirmada pelas dificuldades e impedimentos que as alunas-professoras leigas descreveram em seus relatos críticos (TCC) para desenvolveram uma prática pedagógica coerente com a perspectiva emancipadora das teorias trabalhadas no curso. Sugere-se para a organização, sistematização e execução de outros cursos semelhantes, aproximarem o máximo possível a teoria da prática, tanto nas questões pedagógicas do ensinar e do aprender, como principalmente na “ação-reflexão-ação” do cotidiano da universidade/escola, de modo que ambas venham a se constituir em uma unidade. A pesquisa, para a formação de um professor pesquisador, mesmo que em serviço, assume um dos pilares práticos da produção de saberes críticos para a transformação radical da sociedade e da educação vigente, pois os conhecimentos produzidos nessa prática são verdadeiros se forem verificados na prática, na produção, no experimento, na revolução social. / The current research, which was based on a dialectic and qualitative study, had a general aim of perceiving, interpreting, explaining and understanding the existing contradictions in the process of majoring laic teachers carried by FURG in SVP. It also aimed to show how those contradictions appear during the educational practice of the laic teachersto- be. According to the results of the research, some suggestions of knowledge can be pointed out, which might contribute to the issuance of new educational proposals to the formation of teachers that are working and also on the building up of their curriculum. It can also provide proper conditions to bring unquestionable knowledge to the laic teachers-to-be – therefore changing the reality which they live in and being able to concomitantly change their lives. The study was carried out having as empirical corpus the End of Course Papers of the forty seven laic teachers which majored in Education – Elementary School. The main thesis, i.e., that there is a contradiction in the process of majoring laic teachers, was confirmed by the difficulties and obstacles described in the critic reports (End of Course Papers) by the laic teachers-to-be, in order to develop an educational practice coherent to the emancipating perspective of the theories studied during the course. It is suggested the organization, the systematization and the devising of other similar courses, in order to approach as close as possible, theory to practice. This proximity of theory and practice should be held on educational matters of teaching and learning as well as mainly on the “action-reflectionaction” of the daily routine in the university/school, so that both become one unit. For the formation of a researching teacher, even when working, the research assumes one of the practical foundations to the production of critic knowledge to a radical change in society and current educational system, once the knowledge acquired in that practice is true if it is checked in practice, in production, in experiment, in the social revolution.

Parte-se do pressuposto de que os tratamentos publicados por Freud demarcam importantes problemas que, uma vez examinados, resultaram na elaboração e/ou formalização de achados clínicos essenciais para a construção da psicanálise como ciência. Das cinco grandes psicanálises publicadas por Freud, apenas três foram tratamentos conduzidos por ele; devido a isso, nessa pesquisa a escolha foi a de trabalhar especificamente com o Caso Dora e o Caso do Homem dos Ratos, por paradigmáticos que são para a clínica das neuroses. O encaminhamento metodológico dado à pesquisa consistiu na análise dos citados relatos, procurando evidenciar, por meios analíticos e sintéticos, o modo como foram expostos por Freud, ou seja: a construção e a exposição da lógica argumentativa da história do paciente, de seu adoecimento, das estratégias de tratamento adotadas e das teorizações disso resultantes. Freud sempre dialogou com a psicopatologia e psiquiatria de sua época e, dada a importância conferida por ele a isso, aqui se considera fundamental que, antes da exposição da análise dos casos citados, sejam evidenciadas as especificidades da escrita de casos tal como realizado por Freud em relação a essas tradições. Em seguida, destaca-se o objetivo da divulgação de cada um dos casos, as formalizações conceituais deles advindas e seus impactos técnicos. Dentre os principais achados desta pesquisa encontram-se: a) a originalidade de Freud na criação de um estilo singular de relato de caso, no qual o paciente deixa de ser considerado como o representante de uma doença para demarcar, a partir da singularidade de sua verdade inconsciente, os aspectos que poderiam definir a etiologia das neuroses de uma forma universal; b) a demarcação do lugar ocupado pela consideração da transferência do paciente para com o analista, a partir dos erros que destaca ter cometido no tratamento de Dora, para a condução do tratamento, para a compreensão da singularidade com que se reveste a identificação na histeria e para consolidar o método da associação livre; c) o Caso do Homem dos Ratos serviu à sistematização dos dados clínicos destacados pela experiência freudiana, possibilitando a definição etiológica da neurose obsessiva e a sua retirada, no contexto da classificação psiquiátrica, do quadro das psicoses monomaníacas. Esse caso teve impacto considerável na construção da segunda tópica freudiana no que diz respeito ao liame que seria estabelecido entre a culpa, a ação do supereu e da pulsão de morte.

Esta tese buscou compreender como ocorreu a formação reflexiva de alunas-professoras num curso de Pedagogia a distância de uma universidade pública, considerando as articulações entre teoria a prática. Os fundamentos epistemológicos e teóricos estão compostos por um quadro de referência que aborda os modelos de formação de professores e de educação a distância, e pelo conceito construtivista do possível cognitivo. O marco metodológico foi guiado pelos princípios da abordagem do estudo de caso, por melhor se adequar aos procedimentos de coleta e análise de dados de caráter predominantemente descritivos e interpretativos, focado em processos. Os dados foram coletados ao longo dos nove semestres de duração do curso e interpretados à luz de três categorias de análise, nomeadamente: (i) as impossibilidades em ser reflexivo, (ii) ensaios no processo de ser reflexivo, e (iii) possibilidades nas concepções e nas práticas reflexivas Os resultados da análise sobre o processo da formação reflexiva evidenciaram que a formação reflexiva das alunas-professoras foi alcançada por meio de uma construção/reconstrução que não ocorreu de forma linear, mas revelou a evolução em patamares superiores de progressos na capacidade do pensamento reflexivo, se comparados os modos como escreviam as postagens sobre suas aprendizagens no ingresso e ao término do curso. Assim, a nova conduta desenvolvida perante as interações e problematizações vivenciadas durante o curso desenvolveu abertura de possíveis (possibilidades), que foram confirmados na qualidade, compreensão e reconstrução com que os sujeitos passaram a operar sobre suas próprias práticas, fato que comprova a importância na formação inicial e continuada do professor em serviço se constituir como um profissional reflexivo. / This thesis sought to understand how reflective formation of student teachers occurred in a Pedagogy distance course from a public university, considering the articulations between theory and practice. The epistemological and theoretical foundations are composed of a framework that addresses the models of teacher training and distance education, and the constructivist concept of the cognitive possible. The methodological framework was guided by the principles of the case study approach, because it is better suited to procedures for the collection and analysis of predominantly descriptive and interpretative data, focused on processes. Data were collected during nine semesters of the course duration and interpreted in the light of three categories of analysis, namely: (i) impossibilities in being reflective, (ii) tests in the reflective process, and (iii) possibilities in conceptions and reflective practices Results of the analysis on the process of reflective formation showed that reflective formation of female student teachers was achieved through a non-linear construction / reconstruction, but revealed the evolution in higher levels of progress in the capacity of reflective thinking, comparing the ways in which they wrote posts about their learning at the beginning and at the end of the course. Thus, the new behavior developed before the interactions and problematizations experienced during the course developed the opening of possible (possibilities), which were confirmed in the quality, comprehension and reconstruction with which the subjects began to operate on their own practices, fact that proves the importance in the initial and continuing training of the in-service teacher if he / she constitutes a reflective professional. / Esta tesis ha buscado comprender como ha ocurrido la formación reflexiva de alumnas-profesoras en un curso de Pedagogía a distancia de una universidad pública, considerando las articulaciones entre teoría y práctica.
