For this reason, it was based on an experience of in-service training in a public school in the city of Fortaleza, whose work was been developed since 2006. As reasoning for reaching the goals of this study, it was found support in the formulations of Nóvoa (1997), Lima (2001), Imbernón (2010; 2011) and Sacristán (2010) on the process of continuing education of teachers, formulated to break the relationship of this process with the professional development. In Canário (1997) it is found support to discuss the school as a space of training for teachers, with the light of the thought of Freire (1996) and Garcia (1999) who discussed professional development, among other authors that were used to build this work. The corpus analyzed is the result of a search of a qualitative nature, come from a case study of ethnographic type, formed from three methodological tools: the comments field in a period of one year and four months, where were observed moments of training and planning, the semi-structured interviews, used with four teachers, the vice-director, a pedagogical coordinator and the director of the Municipal School Edith Braga, located in Fortaleza, under the jurisdiction of Regional Executive Secretary VI - VI. The data revealed that the training gains in the school were more significant because there was the group of teachers in partnership with the coordination and management, in a process of training and self permanent formation, where the individual experiences and collective were set in learning, in various knowledge. However, this training is not developed in a peaceful environment, with conditions for its implementation, so, the school find alternatives to circumvent the obstacles that prevent the occurrence of this training. It was concluded that for the school become a training area for your teachers it is need a greater decentralization of training policies in favor of the school. The teachers will recognize that space and the activities developed as necessary and important for their professional development. / O presente trabalho traz um estudo sobre a formação contínua dos professores dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental na instituição escolar e busca compreender as reflexões construídas pelo grupo de professores, coordenadores e gestores da escola, bem como as condições de vida e trabalho, em que esse processo de formação se desenvolve. Para isso, tomou por base uma experiência de formação em serviço de uma escola pública do município de Fortaleza, cujo trabalho já se desenvolvia desde 2006. Como fundamentação para o alcance dos objetivos o estudo encontrou apoio nas formulações de Nóvoa (1997), Lima (2001), Imbernón (2010; 2011) e Sacristán (2010) sobre o processo de formação continuada dos professores, formulado a partir da relação deste com o desenvolvimento profissional. Em Canário (1997) encontramos apoio para discutir a escola como espaço de formação para os professores, a luz do pensamento de Freire (1996) e García (1999) discutimos desenvolvimento profissional, entre outros autores que recorremos para construir esse trabalho. O corpus analisado é resultado de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, oriunda de um estudo de caso do tipo etnográfico, constituído a partir de dois instrumentos metodológicos: as observações de campo realizadas no interstício de um ano e quatro meses, onde foram observados os momentos de formação e planejamento, as entrevistas semiestruturadas, utilizadas com quatro professoras, a vice-diretora, uma coordenadora pedagógica e a diretora da Escola Municipal Edith Braga, localizada em Fortaleza, sob a jurisdição da Secretaria Executiva Regional VI – SER VI. Os dados revelaram que na escola, a formação ganha mais significado porque é protagonizada pelo grupo de professores em parceria com a coordenação e gestão, num processo de formação e auto formação permanente, onde as experiências individuais e coletivas se configuram em aprendizagens, em saberes diversos. No entanto, essa formação não se desenvolve em um ambiente tranquilo, com condições para sua realização, a escola vai encontrando alternativas para driblar os obstáculos que impedem que essa formação aconteça. Concluiu-se que para que a escola se constitua espaço de formação para seus professores é necessário que haja uma maior descentralização das políticas de formação em favor da escola, que os professores reconhecem esse espaço e as atividades ali desenvolvidas como necessárias e significativas a seu desenvolvimento profissional.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the relevance of School Management Training (SMT) to school practice; present an overview of SMT in Zimbabwe; and identify and analyse relevant SMT models to school headship. The research methods involved a literature study of primary and secondary sources, as well as an empirical situation analysis of SMT in Zimbabwe. The secondary sources comprised books, journals, research dissertations and thesis. The primary sources comprised official circulars, courses outlines the B.Ed (EAPPS) degree programme and the Heads Training Support Programme (HTSP) modules. The knowledge drawn from these sources was the basis for developing appropriate models for SMT. The empirical situation analysis comprised the use of questionnaires and interviews to examine the content, typology, the modes of SMT in Zimbabwe, as provided by a sample of 218 randomly selected school heads in Bulawayo, Matabeleland North and South regions. Personal and group interviews were conducted with selected school heads. The findings revealed the following strengths of SMT in Zimbabwe:  Induction SMT is offered to newly-appointed school heads in order to inspire their confidence in leadership.  Various forms of continuing on-site SMT on-the-job training opportunities to school heads.  Whilst off-site SMT workshops inculcate skills from school headship experience, SMT conferences and seminars run by heads' professional associations cater for SMT needs of school heads. Weaknesses of SMT in Zimbabwe exposed by the study involve:  Lack of SMT newsletters to encourage self-induction  Lack of institutional provision for the smooth co-ordination of SMT  Little involvement of university experts in non-formal SMT A tripartite collaborative SMT model which integrates self-development, university tuition and HTSP tuition is recommended. For the smooth operation of the model a dedicated institute for SMT is recommended. Any further research study, local or in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, should investigate the feasibility of a tripartite collaborative model and the dedicated institute in SMT. / Educational Studies / D.Ed.

The purpose of this study is to deepen the knowledge of how feedback and evaluation with a focus on formative assessment is perceived in terms of what, how and why by a few teachers working in special needs school with a focus on training school. To answer the purpose of this study three questions were formed, What is the teachers` understanding of formative assessment in relation to other practices of assessment and feedback? How do the teachers say they practice feedback and assessment with a formative assessment focus in their teaching practices? What pros and cons do some teachers believe there is in using formative assessment? The study is based on qualitative group interviews with teachers in two schools where all the teachers are active in the training school. The interviews were recorded. To identify the descriptions made by the teachers the transcribed material has been interpreted in terms of the didactic triangel. The results show that teachers are distinctly positive to the use of formative assessment though some negative aspects have been enlightened. The teachers consider formative assessment as increasing the status in today`s school and that the knowledge requirements are clear in the education which leads to a recurring assessment as well as a focus on the learning process. The results also show that documentation and reflection plays an important part in the learning process and that formative assessment promotes learning by using the right artifacts and clear feedback that makes visible the learning of the student. This is conducted by interaction. It is, however, stated that due to the level and type of disability formative assessment is more or less easy to implement. Students at an early stage of development and students in the autism spectrum tend to be more difficult to apply formative assessment to. The results also show that some teachers believe that formative assessment tend to take too much time, as well as demanding more time consuming documentation. / Syftet med denna studie är att fördjupa kunskapen om hur återkoppling och bedömning med fokus på formativ bedömning uppfattas i termer av Vad, Hur och Varför av några lärare som arbetar på grundsärskolan med inriktning träningsskolan. För att besvara syftet formulerades tre frågeställningar, Vad uppfattar lärarna att formativ bedömning är i förhållande till andra bedömnings och återkopplingspraktiker? Hur uppger lärarna att de praktiserar återkoppling och bedömning med fokus på formativ bedömning i sin undervisningspraktik? Vilka för- och nackdelar anser några lärare att det finns med formativ bedömning? Studien bygger på kvalitativa gruppintervjuer med lärare på två skolor där samtliga lärare är verksamma inom träningsskolan. Intervjuerna spelades in. För identifiering av lärarnas beskrivningar har det transkriberade materialet tolkats med hjälp utifrån den didaktiska triangeln. Resultatet visar att lärarna är genomgående positivt inställda till användandet av formativ bedömning men vissa negativa aspekter har belysts. Lärarna anser att formativ bedömning höjer statusen i dagens skola, att kunskapskraven är tydliga i undervisningen vilket leder till att bedömning sker återkommande hela tiden samt att fokus är på lärprocessen. Resultatet visar även att dokumentation och reflektion fyller en viktig del i lärprocessen samt att formativ bedömning främjar lärandet med hjälp av rätta artefakter och tydlig återkoppling som synliggör lärandet för eleven. Detta sker genom interaktion med varandra. Resultatets negativa aspekter med formativ bedömning visades vara att elever på tidig utvecklingsnivå kan vara svåra att genomföra formativ bedömning tillsammans med samt elever inom autismspektra. Resultatet visade att lärarnas uppfattningar var att formativ bedömning kräver mera av lärarna vilket kan ses som tidskrävande samt att dokumentation ses som en svårighet i genomförandet men otroligt viktig del i processen.

As a result of the recent rapid increase in number of nursery schools in the United States a great deal of interest in nursery education has been evinced. The purpose of this study is to present a descriptive sketch of the nursery schools conducted at Western Kentucky Teachers College in such a manner that some results of the work may be shown.

The purpose of this study is to examine educational aid´s perceptions of social inclusion in the compulsory school for pupils with learning disabilities in training school classes. The chosen method of this study is a qualitive research approach. Five educational aid´s currently working with pupils with intellectual disabilities in the compulsory school for pupils with learning disabilities have been interviewed. A relational and categorical models of special education has been used to analyze the interviews and a comparison between the relational, categorical approach, the thoughts of the educational aids and the regulatory documents from the Swedish National Agency for Education is taking place in the study. The result of the study shows that most of the educational aid´s in the study thinks that they can both support and obstruct social inclusion for pupils with learning disabilities. The study also shows that pedagogical guidance and discussions in the work crew about social inclusion are important to promote social inclusion. The educational aid´s believe that the pupils have little interest in participate in social interaction with other pupils. Furthermore the paraprofessionals believe that the teachers should have a comprehensive view over the pupils and their school day and that the educational aid´s thinks that they have a closer relation with the pupils because they spend more time with them than the teachers do. The informants indicated that learning environments, the ability to back away, and cooperation within the teaching team are important factors to promote social inclusion. / Syftet med studien är att undersöka några elevassistenters uppfattningar om social delaktighet i grundsärskolan med inriktning mot ämnesområden. Den valda metoden i denna studie var en kvalitativ forskningsansats. Fem elevassistenter som arbetar med elever i grundsärskolan med inriktning mot ämnesområden har blivit intervjuade. En relationell och kategorisk modell av specialundervisning har använts för att analysera intervjuerna och en jämförelse mellan det relationella, kategoriska synsättet, tankar från elevassistenterna och Skolverkets styrdokument sker i denna studie. Resultatet visade att merparten av elevassistenterna ansåg att de själva både kunde underlätta oh vara till hinder för den sociala delaktigheten för elever med utvecklingsstörning. Att handledning och diskussion om social delaktighet var viktiga faktorer samt att elevassistenterna ansåg att elever med utvecklingsstörning själva hade ett begränsat intresse av att inleda socialt samspel med andra elever. Studien visade även att pedagogisk handledning och diskussioner inom arbetslaget om social delaktighet är viktiga faktorer för att öka social delaktighet. Elevassistenterna ansåg att eleverna hade lågt intresse av att delta i sociala interaktioner med andra elever. Vidare så framhöll elevassistenterna att en lärare bör ha ett helhetsgrepp över eleverna och undervisningen och elevassistenterna anser att de har en närmare relation med eleverna då de spenderar mer tid med dem än vad lärarna. Elevassistenterna indikerade att lärmiljö, förmåga att backa undan och samverkan inom arbetslaget som viktiga faktorer för att öka social delaktighet.

The writer, having been employed as a critic or supervising teacher in a city training school, has a personal interest in student teaching and student teachers. Frequently patrons voice their opinions concerning the work done in the training school. While many parents are well pleased with the results of student teaching, there are some who believe that the type of work given in the training school is inferior to that done in the public schools. The major purpose of this study is to endeavor to answer, to some extent, a few of the many questions, arising from day to day, concerning the effect of student teaching upon the achievement of the pupils in the training school.
