No. of bitstreams: 1 Sílvia Regina Abreu Leal_.pdf: 1355196 bytes, checksum: 879d766c9e3d375d37ca7a4cf8d53fa4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-12-19 / Nenhuma / O estudo de caso aborda os níveis de apropriação das Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação (TIC) por parte dos professores da Rede Verzeri (RV) de colégios, com base no documento de Padrão de Competências em TIC para Professores (UNESCO, 2009). Para tanto, considera-se o conhecimento e a utilização, nas práticas docentes, dos recursos disponíveis no Portal Educacional adotado pela RV. A pesquisa apresenta duas abordagens, de forma online: a quantitativa configura-se no âmbito de estudo de caso e apresenta aspectos relevantes que contribui para a coleta e análise de dados como reconhecimento de diferentes perspectivas, oportunidade de reflexões e a variedade das abordagens do Projeto de Competência em TIC para professores. Na pesquisa qualitativa, privilegia-se apenas a abordagem de Criação do Conhecimento, explorando o componente TIC a partir das habilidades esperadas pelos professores selecionados. O campo empírico foi composto por quatro colégios privados de Educação Básica da RV, localizados no interior do RS. Os interlocutores da pesquisa são os professores que estão lotados nos quatro colégios e que responderam os questionários online postados em plataforma acadêmica denominada Portal Educacional. Como parte integrante do processo de coleta de informações e validação da categoria de criação do conhecimento, foram utilizados, como material de apoio, os relatórios de acessos das ferramentas do Portal Educacional. Os resultados da pesquisa foram consolidados com base na triangulação de dados. Esta metodologia de análise oportuniza a superação das limitações tanto da pesquisa qualitativa como da pesquisa quantitativa, combinando os diversos métodos, dando-lhes, assim, a relevância necessária. O resultado da pesquisa, baseado no Padrão de Competências em TIC para professores, demonstra que: 41,20% do corpo docente estão em fase de alfabetização tecnológica; do percentual de 58,80% restantes, 28,76% dos professores encontram-se na abordagem de Alfabetização em Tecnologia, 18,86% no Aprofundamento do Conhecimento e 11,18% na Criação do Conhecimento. Este projeto permitiu uma melhor compreensão do padrão de competência em TIC dos professores, assim como a verificação de como as ferramentas online disponíveis no Portal Educacional favorecem a inovação e a construção do conhecimento. / The case study discusses the levels of appropriation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by teachers of Rede Verzeri (RV) colleges, based on the Competency Standard document on ICT for Teachers (UNESCO, 2009). For this we consider the knowledge and the use in teaching practices, resources available in the Educational Portal adopted by RV. The research presents two approaches, online: a quantitative, appears within the case study and presents relevant aspects that contribute to the collection and analysis of data as recognition of different perspectives, opportunity for reflection and the variety of approaches to project Competence in ICT for teachers. Qualitative research is privileged only approach Creation of Knowledge exploring the ICT component, as expected by the teachers selected skills. The empirical field was the four colleges of Basic Education of the RV, the private network, located within the RS. The interlocutors of the research are the teachers who are crowded in the five colleges and the answer online questionnaires posted on academic platform called Education Portal. As part of the information gathering and validation of the category of knowledge creation process were used as collateral to access the reports of the Portal Educacional. The search results were consolidated based on the idea of triangulation. This method of analysis provides an opportunity to overcome the limitations of both qualitative and quantitative survey research, combining the various methods, thus giving them the necessary relevance. The survey results, based on the Standard ICT Skills for teachers, demonstrate: 41.20% of the faculty is in the process of technological literacy, the percentage of 58.80% is 28.76% in Literacy approach technology, 18.86% in Deepening Knowledge and 11.18% in the Creation of Knowledge. This project provided a better understanding of the pattern of ICT skills of teachers, as well as verification of how online tools available in Educational Portal favor innovation and knowledge construction.

It's purposes are to describe the teacher's socio-demographic profile, their perception regarding the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) applications as well as the possible relation between their ethical perception and the selected courses Political-Pedagogical Projects (PPP'S). On the quantitative side, a survey was applied to the teachers in order to outline, on the basis of their use and behaviors perspective, the ethical-citizen perceptions associated to the applications of those technologies. On the qualitative side, PPP'S were investigated by means of content analysis. The theoretical framework applied to the research is regarding those main categories developed in The Human Condition by Hannah Arendt. The results describe the sample as teachers with 40 years of age in average, followed by 12 years of schooling experience composed for the most part by females (62%) living in the South and Southeast Brazilian countryside. Their perceptions suggest positive perception towards alterity and low quality of information shared online, but moderately weak critical thinking in relation to privacy civil right, followed by inhibited political participation and lack of convergence between curricular projects and the teacher's effective perceptions. / Trata-se de pesquisa explorat??ria que pode ser compreendida como contributiva, sob a perspectiva da ??tica e da cidadania no ??mbito da cibercultura, para a discuss??o curricular relativa ?? forma????o continuada de professores.

A fenomenologia da síndrome de Tourette (ST) é complexa. Apesar de tiques motores e vocais serem as características definidoras da síndrome, muitas pessoas relatam ter urgências premonitórias (fenômenos sensoriais) de difícil descrição. A história natural da ST também é variável, com alguns indivíduos que experimentam uma redução acentuada nos tiques até o final da segunda década de vida, enquanto outros permanecem com sintomas ao longo de toda a vida adulta. Os objetivos principais desta tese são três: (1) desenvolver um instrumento de avaliação clínica com boa validade e confiabilidade para ST; (2) investigar os fenômenos sensoriais (FS) associados a ST; e (3) documentar o curso da gravidade dos tiques durante as duas primeiras décadas de vida. Para atingir esses objetivos incluíram-se grupos de pacientes clinicamente bem caracterizados e de artigos científicos publicados em periódicos internacionais de alto impacto. A Escala de Gravidade Global de tiques de Yale (YGTSS) apresentou excelentes propriedades psicométricas, o que foi replicado em estudos independentes. Também emergiu como a escala de gravidade mais utilizada em ensaios clínicos randomizados para ST em todo o mundo. Os FS, particularmente urgências premonitórias, são comumente relatados entre os indivíduos com ST com a partir da idade de 10 anos. Há uma sobreposição considerável com os FS descritos por indivíduos com Transtorno Obsessivo- Compulsivo (TOC). Os tiques costumam ter seu início na primeira década de vida e, então, seguem um curso flutuante com mudança do seu repertório. Conforme documentado no terceiro estudo, para a maioria dos pacientes, o período de pior gravidade dos tiques ocorre geralmente entre 7 e 15 anos de idade, após o qual a gravidade declina gradualmente. Esta queda dos sintomas de tiques é consistente com os dados epidemiológicos disponíveis que indicam uma prevalência muito menor de ST entre adultos do que crianças. Em resumo, há um esforço para incremento da caracterização fenomenológica e da história natural da ST. Revisões da YGTSS devem ser consideradas. Avanços significativos foram feitos para caracterizar e mensurar os FS associados a ST. Estudos acerca das bases neurobiológicas, da fenomenologia e da história natural da ST estão em andamento no sentido de identificar os indicadores prognósticos / The phenomenology of Tourette syndrome is complex. Although overt motor and vocal tics are the defining features of Tourette syndrome, many individuals report experiencing sensory \"urges,\" which are often difficult to describe. The natural history of this condition is also variable, with some individuals experiencing a marked reduction in tics by the end of the second decade of life while others go on to have a lifelong condition. The aim of this thesis was three-fold: (1) to develop a valid and reliable clinical rating instrument; (2) to investigate the sensory phenomena associated with Tourette syndrome; and (3) to document the course of tic severity over the course of the first two decades of life. Each of these three studies involved groups of patients with Tourette syndrome or a chronic tic disorder and each of these studies has been published in a peer-reviewed journal. The Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) has excellent psychometric properties that have been independently replicated. It has also emerged as the most widely used clinician-rated tic severity scale in randomized clinical trials around the world. Sensory phenomena, particularly premonitory urges, are commonly reported among individuals with Tourette syndrome by the age of 10 years. There is considerable overlap with the sensory phenomena described by individuals with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Tics usually have their onset in the first decade of life. They then follow a waxing and waning course and a changing repertoire of tics. As documented in the third study, for a majority of patients the period of worst tic severity usually falls between the ages of 7 and 15 years of age, after which tic severity gradually declines. This falloff in tic symptoms is consistent with available epidemiological data that indicate a much lower prevalence of Tourette syndrome among adults than children. This decline in tic severity has been confirmed in subsequent studies. In summary, incremental progress is being made in our efforts to characterize the phenomenology and natural history of Tourette syndrome. Revisions to the YGTSS should be considered. Significant advances have been made in measuring the premonitory urges associated with Tourette syndrome. The neurobiological underpinnings of the phenomenology and natural history of Tourette syndrome are currently underway in an effort to identify prognostic indicators

Esta pesquisa analisa situações de diálogo e interação pelo computador e web motivados por temas, autores e conceitos da disciplina Sociologia. Investiga as potencialidades dialógicas de construção do conhecimento em situações de diálogos virtuais entre alunos e o professor da disciplina - em uma modalidade de ensino apoiado por recursos da web que ocorrem fora do espaço-tempo da aula tradicional. Tem como hipóteses verificar se o compartilhamento de informações através da rede e a mediação tecnológica são demandas incorporadas pela escola e se a comunicação em ambientes virtuais amplia a perspectiva dialógica de construção do conhecimento escolar, na qual o professor enquanto provocador cognitivo (PICONEZ) possa (re)avaliar as relações ensino-aprendizagem na disciplina Sociologia. Sob a perspectiva da pesquisa-ação, foi estruturada na observação e participação direta e análise qualitativa de situações concretas de diálogos educacionais em ambiência virtual envolvendo as seguintes ferramentas tecnológicas: correio eletrônico (e-mail), pesquisa pela internet, análise a partir da exibição de filmes em DVD, interações através de um BLOG publicado pela professora e reuniões através do MSN. A proposta dos temas e a análise dos diálogos dão-se a partir da perspectiva de uma rede sinérgica, isto é, de que o conhecimento é resultado da articulação de reflexões individuais. Estas reflexões são orientadas e motivadas pelos objetivos da disciplina Sociologia, explicitados nas Orientações Curriculares Nacionais (OCN), documento oficial do governo, elaborado por especialistas das Ciências Humanas e complementar aos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN). Tais objetivos estão representados no processo da disciplina Sociologia e sua abordagem requer a presença de um professor que oriente sua prática pelos princípios dialógicos da construção do conhecimento a partir da reflexão de todos os envolvidos no ato educativo; pelo compromisso com a educação problematizadora (FREIRE), em seu papel transformador e emancipatório representada pela função social da escola. Os resultados apontam que o uso das tecnologias de comunicação amplia o espaço-tempo da aula presencial e permite que os objetos da disciplina se articulem ao cotidiano do aluno. Também apontam para a necessidade de inserção - pela escola - do uso dessas tecnologias e o reconhecimento de suas potencialidades pedagógicas. As Tecnologias de Informação e de Comunicação (TIC) ampliam a função social dos conteúdos da disciplina ao permitir que a reflexão sobre a própria realidade - pelo aluno - possa ser complementada sob perspectiva da interatividade como elemento constitutivo do novo modelo conversacional, descentrado e bidirecional. A mediação tecnológica, nos diálogos virtuais, proporciona terreno fértil de novos (outros) contornos à prática (mediação) pedagógica orientada pelos princípios da dialogicidade ao permitir, entre outros aspectos, que os alunos proponham novos temas para as aulas, realizem novas leituras e interpretações e tenham acesso permanente ao professor. Tal postura metodológica constata a presença de transformações na arquitetura de poder da sala de aula tradicional polarizada na figura do mestre. As TIC possibilitam pela cooperação e diálogo crítico-reflexiva, ampliação da rede sinérgica do conhecimento favorecendo a dialogicidade, interação e mediação pedagógica e tecnológica incrementando a qualidade da relação entre os atores do ato educativo abrindo novos caminhos para construção do conhecimento em Sociologia. / This research examines situations of dialogue and interaction through the computer and web motivated by subject, authors and concepts of the Sociology discipline. Investigates the potential of dialogical construction of knowledge in situations of virtual dialogues between students and teacher of the discipline - in a mode of teaching supported by web resources that occur outside the space-time of traditional classroom. It has as hypothesis to verify if the sharing of information through the network and the technological mediation demands are incorporated by the school and whether the communication in virtual environments broadens the dialogical perspective of scholar knowledges construction, in which the teacher as a provocative cognitive (PICONEZ) may (re)evaluate the relationships in the teaching-learning Sociology discipline. From the perspective of the action research, it was structured in the observation and direct participation and qualitative analysis of concrete situations of conversations involving virtual educational environment, the following technology tools: electronic mail (e-mail), researches on the internet, analysis from the exhibition of DVD movies, interactions through a blog published by the teacher and meetings through MSN. The proposal of the issues and analysis of the dialogues from the perspective are from a synergistic network, that is, that knowledge is the result of the articulation of individual thoughts. These thoughts are guided and motivated by the goals of the Sociology discipline, explained in the National Curriculum Guidelines (OCN), official government document, prepared by experts from the Social Sciences and complementary to the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN). Such goals are represented in the process of Sociology discipline and its approach requires the presence of a teacher to guide the practice through the dialogical principles of the construction of knowledge from the reflection of all those involved in the education act; the commitment to education problematizing (FREIRE), its role as a transformers and emancipator represented by the social function of the school. The results indicate that the use of communication technologies broadens the space-time of the presential class and allows the objects of discipline to articulate the student\'s daily life. They also point the need of integration for the school for the use of these technologies and the recognition of their educational potential. The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) expand the social content of the discipline by allowing the discussion about the reality -by the student may be supplemented under the perspective of interactivity as a component of the new conversational model, off center and bidirectional. The technological mediation, in virtual dialogues, provides fertile ground for new (other) outlines to practice (mediation) guided by the principles of dialogicality when allowing, among other things, that the students propose new topics for classes, performing new interpretations and readings and have permanent access to the teacher. This methodological posture constates the presence of changes in the architecture power in the classroom in the traditional figure of the polarized master. The ICT allows by the cooperation and critical-reflexive dialogue, synergistic expansion of the network of knowledge favoring dialogicality, interaction and pedagogical and technological mediation increasing the quality of the relationship between the actors of the education action opening new avenues for the construction of knowledge in Sociology.

Plusieurs études ont montré que l’usage croissant des Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication (TIC) dans la vie professionnelle et personnelle a largement contribué au brouillage des frontières entre ces deux sphères. La perméabilité reflète le degré auquel l’individu peut être psychologiquement et/ou comportementalement engagé dans un domaine, mais physiquement et temporellement présent dans un autre. Notre objectif est d’identifier les déterminants de la perméabilité des frontières ainsi que les différents modèles d’articulation entre ces deux domaines de vie, basés sur l’usage des TIC. La méthodologie utilisée est mixte, qualitative et quantitative. Les résultats de la première étude réalisée sur la base d’un questionnaire auprès 241 personnes, confirment, d’une part, que les frontières personnelles sont les plus perméables et qu’elles dépendent de plusieurs variables organisationnelles ainsi que des caractéristiques de travail, d’autre part, que la perméabilité des frontières professionnelles ne dépend que de la flexibilité du travail. Quatre modèles d’articulation ont été identifiés: la segmentation, le débordement, l’intégration et l’hybridation. La deuxième étude conduite selon la méthode des scénarios, a permis de restituer les modèles d’articulation dans une perspective dynamique et évolutive. Les individus changent de manières de gérer leurs frontières de vie, en fonction de leur âge, des changements de leur situation familiale et professionnelle et du climat organisationnel. L’ensemble des résultats sont discutés d’un point de vue théorique, méthodologique et pratique / Several studies has shown that the increased use of information and communications technology (ICT) in professional and personal life has largely contributed to the blurring of the boundaries between these two spheres. The resultant permeability reflects the degree to which the individual can be psychologically and / or behaviorally engaged in one area, but physically and temporally present in another. Our goal is to identify the determinants of porous personal and professional borders and the different models of articulation between these two areas of life, based on the use of information and communications technology. We used a mixed, qualitative and quantitative methodology. The results of the first study made by a questionnaire survey on 241 people confirm, firstly, that personal boundaries are more permeable and that they depend on several organizational variables and work characteristics, secondly, that the permeability of professional boundaries depends only on work flexibility. Four articulation models were identified: segmentation, spillover, integration and hybridization.The second study conducted according to the scenario method, set the articulation patterns in a dynamic and evolutionary perspective. Individuals change the ways of managing their life boundaries, depending on their age, the changes in their family and work situation and the organizational climate. All the results are discussed from a theoretical, methodological and practical point of view

L’allongement de la vie professionnelle est l’une des dispositions prise par les politiques afin de faire face au vieillissement démographique. Dans cette perspective, les salariés entrent dans un processus de vieillissement au travail. Le travail, lui-même, a fortement évolué au cours des dernières décennies. Il est marqué par de nombreux changements techniques et organisationnels qui ont pour effet de reconfigurer les pratiques et compétences des salariés (Caroli, 2001 ; Greenan, 2003 ; Vendramin & Valenduc, 2002). Les salariés vieillissent et devront vieillir dans des environnements de plus en plus médiatisés par les TIC. Or, les difficultés des salariés les plus âgés à s’adapter aux changements techniques et technologiques sont connues et démontrées (Czaja et Sharit, 1993 ; Greenan, Narcy & Volkoff, 2012) aux dépens des ressources mobilisées par ces salariés de façon à ce qu’ils continuent à « bien faire » leur travail. Dès lors, notre thèse vise à interroger (a) les effets des nouvelles technologies sur l’activité des salariés âgés ainsi que (b) les conditions sociotechniques qui permettent l’acceptation des TIC par ces salariés âgés. Nous postulons que les TIC n’ont pas nécessairement un effet délétère sur l’activité des salariés âgés dès lors que l’environnement sociotechnique rend possible le développement de l’activité de ces derniers.Dans la perspective d’une approche tout à la fois systémique, située et développementale, nous avons déployé une démarche de recueil procédant par double triangulation : méthodologique et des points de vue. A cet effet, des entretiens semi-directifs ont été réalisés à la fois avec des représentants syndicaux, médecins du travail, demandeurs d’emploi seniors et salariés âgés. L’objectif est d’appréhender les relations entre vieillissement et travail de différents points de vue. Des observations et techniques de verbalisations ont également été mobilisées afin d’appréhender l’activité des salariés âgés in situ. Enfin, des entretiens d’explicitations ont été menés sur la base des observations précédemment citées afin de cerner ce qui, dans l’expérience vécue de chaque salarié âgé, orientait ses actions, tout en permettant, ou non, le développement de son activité. Nos résultats confirment que les relations vieillissement, travail et TIC sont complexes. En effet, une multitude d’éléments rentrent en jeu dans leur configuration et dans leur articulation. Néanmoins, certains d’entre eux apparaissent prépondérants : le niveau de formation initiale, l’existence et l’appartenance à un collectif de travail, la possibilité de mobiliser le métier dans sa dimension transpersonnelle (outils de travail, ficelles du métier), la latitude organisationnelle ou encore que le caractère « plastique » et ajustable des TIC aux exigences de l’activité. Ces éléments sont tout autant de moyens qui permettent aux salariés âgés de développer les compétences nécessaires à l’usage des TIC en situation pour ainsi les intégrer à leurs pratiques de travail. / The lengthening of working life has been one of the policy measures taken in order to deal with demographic ageing, and this has led workers to enter the ageing process as they are still working. Work itself has much evolved over the last few decades, as many technical and organizational changes have reconfigured the practices and skills of workers (Caroli, 2001, Greenan, 2003, Vendramin & Valenduc, 2002). Workers age, and will continue to age, in environments ever more shaped by information and communication technologies (ICT). The difficulties that the oldest workers face in adapting to technical and technological change has been well known (Czaja and Sharit, 1993; Greenan, Narcy & Volkoff, 2012) and demonstrated by the resources they mobilize so as to keep on doing “good work.” Our thesis seeks to investigate (a) the effects new technologies have on the activity of older workers as well as (b) the sociotechnical conditions that enable them to accept ICTs. We posit that ICTs are not necessarily detrimental to the activity of older workers as long as the sociotechnical environment enables its development.Using an approach that is at once systemic, situated and developmental, we have collected data by double triangulation – methodologically, as well as by gathering points of view. We have achieved this through semi-directive interviews held with union representatives, occupational health doctors, elderly job seekers and older workers. The aim is to gain better insight into the relation between work and ageing, from different points of view. Observations and verbalization techniques have also been performed to understand the activity of older workers in situ. Finally, clarifying interviews have been held following observations in order to discern which aspects in the experience of each older worker oriented their actions while enabling, or not, the development of their activity.Our findings confirm that the relations between ageing, work and ITCs are complex, as many factors come into play in their configuration and articulation. There appear however to be a certain number of overriding factors: level of initial education; existence of, and belonging to, a work collective; ability to engage in the transpersonal dimension of one’s progression (working tools and “tricks of the trade”); organizational latitude; or the “plasticity” or adaptability of ICTs to the demands of the activity. All these are means for older workers to develop the necessary skills to use ICTs situationally so as to integrate them in their professional practice.

Although tic disorders are diagnosed as neurological disorders, neurobehavioral models suggest that tics are controlled by premonitory urges that may be conditioned to become aversive through childhood, and that tics are exhibited to alleviate such phenomena. However, only indirect measures have been used to assess the presence of the premonitory urge. This study utilized self-report and GSR measurements to examine whether a punishing contingency conditioned stimuli to be aversive during conditions of tic suppression and whether punishing contingencies exacerbate aversive private phenomena in two adults. Results indicated that conditions of response cost (RC) and differential reinforcement (DRO) were effective at reducing the number of tics compared to baseline. Moreover, GSR was unrelated to urge and suppression conditions despite higher self-reported urge ratings in DRO and RC conditions. Implications of findings are discussed.
