[pt] O estudo da motivação do estudante de ensino médio tem ganhado notável relevância em busca do bem-estar desses alunos e de uma aprendizagem mais eficiente, como forma de enfrentamento das altas taxas de evasão escolar nesta última etapa da educação básica brasileira. Diversos atores podem influenciar no florescimento humano dos indivíduos, especialmente a família que, por meio de suas práticas, se torna causa de colaboração ou de transtorno para a motivação do adolescente. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral investigar as relações entre os estilos parentais e a motivação do aluno do ensino médio. Para tal, recorreu-se ao aporte teórico dos Estilos Parentais de Maccoby e Martin e da Teoria da Autodeterminação de Deci e Ryan. O trabalho se dividiu em duas etapas, utilizando métodos mistos. Na primeira etapa, de contorno qualitativo, foram coletadas entrevistas abertas de 41 estudantes de uma escola federal do Rio de Janeiro, cujo objetivo foi realizar um levantamento inicial das percepções dos estudantes acerca das razões que os levam a estudar e ir para escola, de tal modo que este estudo exploratório pudesse subsidiar a construção de uma escala de motivação para alunos do ensino médio. Embora tenha sido verificado que a maioria das categorias encontradas eram intercambiáveis, identificou-se categorias específicas para cada pergunta. Esses dados revelam que, apesar de a maior parte dos motivos ser semelhante, existem particularidades motivacionais que precisam ser avaliadas dentro do seu contexto específico. A segunda etapa, de cunho quantitativo, consistiu na aplicação de três escalas psicométricas em uma amostra de 818 estudantes fluminenses. O primeiro instrumento utilizado, denominado de Escala de Motivação para Estudar no Ensino Médio, foi desenvolvida, ao longo deste trabalho, com base nos resultados da primeira etapa. A análise fatorial exploratória empregada revelou um modelo tridimensional, agrupando a nova estrutura em 31 itens, de modo que o tipo de motivação que obteve a maior média por item foi a controlada, seguida da autônoma e figurando a desmotivação com a menor média. Novos ajustes foram sugeridos para aperfeiçoar a estrutura do modelo, como apontado pela análise fatorial confirmatória. A segunda escala, Medida de Motivação para Aprendizagem no Ensino Técnico Profissional, foi usada também para avaliar a motivação desses alunos, tendo como enfoque aspectos que levam os estudantes para ir à escola. A análise da média por dimensões verificou que a maior pontuação foi da motivação identificada, enquanto, a desmotivação notabilizou-se com a menor média. A terceira escala aplicada foi o Instrumento para Avaliar Responsividade e Exigência Parental Percebidas na Adolescência. Foi observado que as dimensões de exigência e responsividade das mães e dos pais têm o potencial de influenciar na motivação dos filhos, ainda que de forma fraca ou moderada. Em relação aos estilos de parentalidade, a pesquisa constatou que mães e pais autoritativos favorecem uma motivação mais autônoma, em seus filhos; mães autoritárias têm uma propensão maior a ter filhos com motivação controlada; e mães e pais negligentes tendem a ter filhos desmotivados. Da síntese desses resultados, pode-se concluir que práticas parentais com maior nível de responsividade e exigência são mais benéficas para a motivação dos adolescentes, do que práticas que tenham nível alto de exigência, mas baixo em responsividade. As piores práticas podem ser consideradas aquelas que tenham um nível baixo para essas duas dimensões. / [en] The study of high school students motivation has gained remarkable relevance in the pursuit of their well-being and more efficient learning, as a way to address the high truancy rates in this final stage of Brazilian basic education. Several actors can influence the flourishing of individuals, especially the family, which, through its practices, becomes a source of collaboration or disruption to adolescent motivation. This research aimed to investigate the relationships between parenting styles and high school students motivation. To do so, we relied on the theoretical framework of Maccoby and Martin s Parenting Styles and Deci and Ryan s Self-Determination Theory. The work was divided into two stages, using mixed methods. In the first stage, of qualitative assessment, open interviews were performed with 41 students from a federal school in Rio de Janeiro. The objective was to do an initial assessment about students perceptions of the reasons that lead them to study and go to school, in such a way that this exploratory study could contribute to the construction of a motivation scale for high school students. Although it was observed that most of the categories found were interchangeable, specific categories were identified for each question. These data reveal that, despite most motivations being similar, there are motivational particularities that need to be evaluated within their specific context. The second, of quantitative assessment, consisted of applying three psychometric scales to a sample of 818 students from Rio de Janeiro. The first instrument used, called the High School Study Motivation Scale, was developed, throughout this work, based on the results of the first stage. The exploratory factorial analysis employed revealed a threedimensional model, grouping the new structure into 31 items, so that the type of motivation that obtained the highest average per item was controlled, followed by autonomous and demotivation appearing with the lowest average. New adjustments were suggested to refine the structure of the model, as pointed out by the confirmatory factorial analysis. The second scale, Measure of Motivation for Learning in Technical and Vocational Education, was also used to evaluate the motivation of these students, focusing on aspects that motivate students to go to school. The analysis of the avarage by dimensions found that the highest score was identified motivation, while demotivation stood out with the lowest average. The third scale applied was Instrument to Assess Perceived Parental Responsiveness and Demand in Adolescence. It was observed that both maternal and paternal demand and responsiveness dimensions have the potential to influence children s motivation, even though weakly or moderately. Regarding parenting styles, the research found that authoritative mothers and fathers promote more autonomous motivation in their children, authoritarian mothers tend to have children with controlled motivation, and neglectful mothers and fathers usually have demotivated children. From the synthesis of these results, it can be concluded that parenting practices with a higher level of responsiveness and demand are more beneficial for adolescent motivation than practices that have a high level of demand but low responsiveness. The worst practices can be considered those that have a low level for these two dimensions.

The project has been implemented as teacher driven action research, where subject-specific reading was studied in classroom practitioners and analyzed by using Legitimation Code Theory (LCT). The purpose was, partly to research which linguistic domains the teachers used in the part detailed reading in Reading to Learn (R2L) and how the discursive movement looked, and partly if progression could be seen during a school year and in that case, how it affected the educators’ teaching.    Participating in the study were four teachers working in a Swedish gymnasium: a chemistry teacher and a teacher of social studies, who were working in academic preparatory programs and a teacher in Swedish as a second language and a teacher in history in one of the introductory programs. The leader of the project and author of this study is also a teacher and colleague to the participants. Totally, twelve observations of detailed reading were implemented: three observations each teacher during one academic year.    The most prominent characteristic of the project was how the teachers, by becoming aware of the linguistic domains, changed their way of using detailed reading and by using the discursive movement, they were able to make semantic waves. The experience of the teachers was that through the action research they received new tools to develop their subject-specific reading and therefore the students’ language and knowledge increased which contributed to a higher object achievement. Notable was that all students seemed to benefit from detailed reading, even the high performing and/or the students with Swedish as their native language.    The result of this study may be relevant to studies on how to augment classroom practices to better implement the subject-specific reading which may lead to change for both teachers and students, regardless of students’ language and knowledge level, stage, or subject.

The central theme of the research is an investigation into what motivates FET phase learners to learn. All learners are interested in learning certain things however, learners interests often do not correspond with what teachers are required to teach. Teachers are therefore constantly searching for ways to motivate learners to learn. This challenge is not easy for teachers in a culturally homogenous classroom, but becomes even greater when the classes are comprised of learners from diverse cultural backgrounds. So then how does a teacher motivate learners in general, and more specifically learners from different cultural orientations? This is a difficult question to answer but one that needs to be addressed considering the diversity of cultures found in the South African classroom. In this study an attempt is made to examine what motivates learners to learn, and the influence of culture on the motivation to learn of Further Education and Training (FET) phase learners in a multicultural classroom. Data on these two elements is collected through the use of structured questionnaires and focus group interviews and is analysed in order to answer the research question. / Psychology of Education / M.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate opportunities to learn (OTL) algebra by grade ten learners at three Catholic secondary schools in South Africa. Performance in mathematics is poor and is a great cause for concern. Despite the government’s effort to make education open and available to all, underperformance has continued among the black majority who were previously marginalised in the former regime. This thesis focuses on the OTL which are afforded learners who are given the chance to attend classes. This thesis met its aims through an extensive review of related literature and the implementation of practical research. The latter was carried out through case studies conducted in three schools where lessons were observed and interviews conducted with the respective teachers. Literature on how OTL mathematics are created is lacking in South Africa. Real OTL still needs to be created if the expected level of performance is to be achieved. The research produced a number of key findings: the learners were given the right to attend class but were subjected to different OTL, learning to convert within and between the different registers of representation of algebraic concepts is necessary to provide learners with OTL, it is not enough for learners to master certain facts and procedures, and learning is enhanced if the means to make the conversion necessary for concept building is developed and the OTL provided. The teacher’s approach influences the way OTL are realised and utilised by learners. The main conclusion drawn from this research is that the OTL afforded the grade ten learners were not the same and that different chances to make conversion within and between registers of representation of algebra concepts were given. Giving the teachers guidelines without expounding the meaning of specific terms such as ‘convert’ leaves gaps in their practices and results in some learners receiving adequate OTL and others not. This research argues for a more involved capacity building programme for in-service teachers to acquaint them with the expected learner-centred approaches to lesson delivery as well as familiarise them with the terminology used in defining terms in the syllabus. / Educational Studies / D.
