This thesis presents a description and analysis of scaffolding in the construction of teaching knowledge in a pre-service teacher training course in a Turkish university. Prior research in the area of scaffolding in primary school classrooms has focused on pupils operating in their native language and their interactions with the teacher and each other. The nature of scaffolding in the construction of knowledge has been identified and explored at an interactional level of talk. While these studies have informed educational practice in schools and teacher training contexts, there has been little research which puts the social, cultural and linguistic context at the heart of scaffolding. This thesis is based on a socio- cultural theory of learning and as such recognizes the influence of the context on the scaffolding of construction of teaching knowledge. This research was a qualitative study utilizing ethnographic techniques. Data emerged over time from recorded feedback sessions, recorded input sessions, self-evaluations, assignments, respondent validations and research diary. It became apparent early on in the study that scaffolding was taking place at both a micro-level, as manifested in the interaction between trainer and trainee, and at a macro-level, as manifested in the context of the training. The context of training included the second language context, the discourses of teaching and training, and the relationship between theory and practice. This study is significant in that it highlights the relationship between context and talk in scaffolding the construction of teaching knowledge. Hitherto, this relationship has not been emphasized in reports on scaffolding. The mutually beneficial relationship of macro and micro-scaffolding points to a teacher training pedagogy which acknowledges both macro-conditions for scaffolding, as well as micro-scaffolding techniques at an interactional level.

With the foundation of the research results and findings, several suggestions are made for the cosmetology departments of High Schools and Vocational High Schools. The Study was implemented with literature review and survey study. At first, theoretical foundation was established so as to know the connotation and mode of practice of practical training program. Secondly, survey study was applied to gather the information of current practical training program teaching, and attained the aim of this study. The study focused on 19 High Schools that with cosmetology department in the Northern Taiwan. Using the “Questionnaire on the Practical Training and Teaching of Cosmetology Department in High Schools and Vocational High Schools” compiled by the Researcher, the questionnaire survey was conducted to receive a total of 167 effective questionnaires from 167 teachers of cosmetology department. The data were analyzed through SPSS 10.0 for Windows software packages, further analyzed through descriptive analysis, t-test and one-way ANOVA for assumption and test. Those up to the significant research hypothesis were further taken into comparison through the Schefféé method to look into various divergences. The main findings of this study were as follows: 1. Practical training program teaching of cosmetology program should emphasize on meeting the enterprises’ need. 2. Most of the teachers of cosmetology departments were satisfied with the school equipments and resources, but felt less satisfied with the training program planning and policy. 3. Most of the cosmetology departments’ teachers approved that when set up a training program, the prior considerations should be: 1. job market, 2. teachers’ quality enhancement, 3. teachers’ specialty requirement. 4. Most of the cosmetology departments’ teachers believed that practical training program should lay particular stress on comprehension, demonstration and practice. Based on the findings of this study, proposals would be offered to the educational administration authorities, schools, school teachers as well as future researchers.

For this research, we identified how Technologies can assist in the Curricular Pedagogical Project at Universities we have researched; we analyzed what happen when we use the techonology to educate geography degree students and the reflection about the non-use of techonologies in the practical of Geography teaching. This is a qualitative research combined by the use of case study, semi-structured interview, and focal group. We resorted to the use of a questionnarie to quantify the related data in the training of students with regard to the practices and non-use of geotechnologies for Geography teaching. These methodologies were used to realize the distance travalled by students of this research, since from the begining of their academic education until nowadays. We have also made a discussion that it is based on theoreticals what approach the themes of: begining and continuing education for Geography teachers; teaching at university; National Curriculum Guidelines for teacher training, curriculum, geography teaching, geotechonologies; and the use of the geotechonologies for geography learning-teaching. According to the results of this research, we understand how the use of geotechonologies for geography teacher training happened and we identified that, in spite of the students have an opportunity to study subjects in the techonology zone and acess to the digital cartography, SIG softwares, photos from satellite, air pictures, GPS, in the component curriculums, they are not prepared to use these resources for teaching geography at school education, cause they hadn’t a quality education at university where could offer them a necessary support to use it at school. We have also checked that the majority of the teachers who were interviewed as well as the other teachers this course need to think about their practice and the importance of their role like an opinion leader teacher for future teachers, cause they have the responsability to introduce in their pedagogical practices, new possibilities for the Geography teaching. / Nesta dissertação buscamos compreender o uso das geotecnologias para a formação e prática pedagógica de futuros professores de Geografia que cursam licenciatura na Universidade Federal da Paraíba, campus I, João Pessoa – PB, e Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, campus I, Campina Grande – PB. Para esta pesquisa temos a identificação de como as geotecnologias estão presentes no Projeto Pedagógico Curricular das universidades pesquisadas; a análise de como ocorre o uso das geotecnologias na formação dos licenciandos de Geografia e a reflexão sobre o (des) uso das geotecnologias para as práticas docentes no ensino de Geografia. A pesquisa tem caráter qualitativo com a utilização do estudo de caso, de entrevista semiestruturada e de grupo focal. Também recorremos ao uso de questionário para quantificar os dados relacionados à formação dos discentes no que se refere às práticas e (des) uso das geotecnologias para o ensino de Geografia. Essas metodologias foram utilizadas para compreender o percurso realizado pelos sujeitos da pesquisa, desde o início de sua formação acadêmica até os dias atuais. Realizamos também uma discussão baseada em teóricos que abordam as temáticas: formação inicial e continuada de professores de Geografia; docência no Ensino Superior; Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a formação de professores; currículo; ensino de Geografia; Geotecnologias; e o uso de geotecnologias no ensino-aprendizagem de Geografia. De acordo com os resultados da pesquisa, compreendemos como se dava o uso das geotecnologias na formação dos professores de Geografia e identificamos que, apesar dos alunos terem a oportunidade de cursarem disciplinas na área de geotecnologias e acesso à cartografia digital, softwares de SIG, imagem de satélite, fotos áreas e GPS nos componentes curriculares, eles não estão preparados para o uso desses recursos no ensino da disciplina escolar Geografia, pois não tiveram na universidade uma formação de qualidade que oferecesse o suporte necessário para a sua aplicação na escola. Também verificamos que a maioria dos professores entrevistados – assim como os demais que fazem parte do quadro docente dos cursos em questão – necessita refletir sobre sua prática e pensar na importância do seu papel como professor formador de futuros professores, que apresentam a responsabilidade de inserir em suas práticas pedagógicas novas possibilidades para o ensino de Geografia.

The focus of this enquiry was to enable student teachers to engage with children’s views to construct meaningful classroom learning experiences. The underpinning assumption was that learning is socially constructed. Issues addressed were: what pupils thought helped/hindered their learning in classrooms, how heeding children’s views of barriers to/facilitators of their learning can be used by student teachers for lesson evaluation, planning and reflective practice, to what extent children’s views can support student teachers’ understanding of children’s learning and the development of their pedagogical practices (this includes both curriculum planning and teaching), the development and learning of initial teacher education students as student teachers engaged in reflective practice. The research comprises two case studies; pilot and subsequent larger-scale project. It incorporated action research designed as iterative spirals of research, evaluation and development in classrooms where the student teachers were teaching children. New learning accumulated in one cycle was intended to be taken into the next. Bespoke pedagogical tools were used to create dialogic spaces and also as research data collection techniques. They scaffolded inter and intra- personal exchanges to enable student teachers to understand children’s learning from a socio-cultural perspective. These tools mediated children’s reflection on their learning and then feedback to the student teacher about what they had learnt; how they had learnt it and what would enable them to learn better. The results indicated: enhanced student teachers’ understanding of how children learn as they adapted their practice in response to children’s views, enhanced learning by the children owing to their exchanges on the interpersonal plane, with peers in the dialogic space created by the bespoke pedagogical tools, mentors require development to support student teachers to engage meaningfully with children’s learning. Outcomes cannot easily be generalised from case studies. This study found: children can express learning needs when appropriate scaffolds enable them to articulate abstract concepts, when student teachers respond to children talking about learning they can develop their practice. Implications for Initial Teacher Education are that it should: highlight the importance of children’s voice to support student teachers in developing their pedagogy, model ways in which teachers can create dialogic spaces for children’s interthinking, consider what development mentors require to support student teachers’ understanding of children’s learning in classrooms. Mediating the construction of dialogue with the Thinking Fish provided a way into both the process of interthinking for children, and also student teachers’ understanding of such interthinking as expressed through their dialogue in the focus groups. Thus the Thinking Fish may be considered to be the vicarious presence of the teacher. This may be a useful approach for teachers and student teachers to adopt as the experience for the participants in this study was meaningful and replicable in future practice, using real classroom activity as research data.

For this, it was analyzed how the syllabus of the subjects of genetics in said courses are structured. Authors of the area of Genetics, Genetics teaching, and education were used as a theoretical contribution to substantiate and support the analysis of the data collected. In the state of Goiás 44 courses of Biological Sciences are offered, licensing degree. The corpus of this research consisted of 16 PPC's of this universe of courses, of which 8 are from private HEIs and 8 from public HEIs, about 81% of the courses are in classroom course mode, 19% is distance. The great part of CBL courses originates in the state of Goiás, 81%, 13% originated in the state of São Paulo and 6% in the state of Rio de Janeiro. In the syllabus were found 26 disciplines related to the content of Genetics, distributed in 12 subtopics in Biological Sciences Degree in the State of Goiás, 23% of the courses offer only the discipline of Genetics based on the curriculum, in the other courses we perceive the fragmentation in levels of knowledge and the content of Genetics, this one is fragmented in a more specific area, each discipline presents a frequency that ranges from 4% to 11%. The duration of the course in Genetics in the courses is on average 57 hours (± 16), ranging from 32 to 100 hours, most of them have a frequency ranging from 60 to 80 hours along the course, the discipline is usually offered between the third and seventh period of the course. Of the 75 books cited in the syllabus over 50 have less than a decade of publication the remaining 25 are prior to 2008. The five most used works: GRIFFITHS et al, 2008 and 2013 (20%), SNUSTAD and SIMMONS, 2008 and 2013 (13%), HARTI, 2010 (8%), PIRCE, 2011 (6.5%), NUSSBAUM et al. al, 1993 and 2002 (4%). The number of books in the supplementary bibliography (107) is superior to that of basic references (75), but what is noticeable is that some authors that appear prominently are common to both bibliographies. The 5 most used works in the complement are: SNUSTAD, 2008 and 2010 (7,5%), KLUG et al 2010 (5,5%), GRIFFITHS et al, 2002, 2006 and 2008 (4,5%), BROWN 2009 and 2012 (3.5%), PIRCE, 2004, 2011 and 2012 (3.5%).Understanding that the course of Biological Sciences undergraduate Biology teachers to work in basic education and that the content of genetics is part of the curriculum, it is believed that this research serves as an alert so that the Structuring Faculty can review the menus and bibliographies used in this discipline. It should be emphasized that the Pedagogical Projects of Courses are going through compulsory reformulation according to the resolution National Council of Education - Full Council nº 2, of July 1, 2015 - It defines the National Curricular Guidelines for the initial formation in upper-level courses. A unique moment for the restructuring of the course with a view to improving the education of the elementary school teacher. / Essa é uma pesquisa documental cuja abordagem é quali-quantitativa, com o objetivo de investigar as ementas da disciplina de Genética dos cursos de Ciências Biológicas licenciatura no Estado de Goiás, por meio de um mapeamento que envolveu os Projetos Pedagógicos de Cursos dos respectivos cursos, com a finalidade de refletir sobre as contribuições que a mencionada disciplina trás para a formação dos futuros professores de biologia do ensino básico. Para tal analisou-se como estão estruturadas as ementas das disciplinas de genética nos referidos cursos. Se utilizou como aporte teórico autores da área de Genética, do ensino de Genética e de educação para fundamentar e dar suporte na análise dos dados levantados. Os resultados evidenciam uma ementa focada nos conteúdos específicos de Genética, sem evidenciar preocupação com o ensino de Genética, isso também pode ser verificado nas principais obras citadas nas referencias básicas e complementares. No estado de Goiás são ofertados 44 cursos de Ciências Biológicas, habilitação licenciatura. O corpus desta pesquisa foi constituído por 16 PPC’s deste universo de cursos, dentre estes 8 são de IES privadas e 8 de IES públicas, cerca de 81% dos cursos são na modalidade presencial, 19% são a distância. A grande parcela dos cursos CBL tem origem no próprio estado de Goiás 81%, 13% tem como origem o estado de São Paulo e 6% o estado do Rio de Janeiro. Nas ementas foram encontradas 26 disciplinas relacionadas ao conteúdo de Genética, distribuídas em 12 subtemas nos cursos de Ciências Biológicas Licenciatura no Estado de Goiás, 23% dos cursos oferecem somente a disciplina de Genética com base no currículo, nos outros cursos percebemos a fragmentação em níveis de conhecimento e do conteúdo de Genética, este vai se fragmentando em uma área mais específica, cada disciplina apresenta uma frequência que varia de 4% a 11%. A carga horária da disciplina de Genética nos cursos é em média 57 horas (± 16), variando de 32 a 100 horas, na maior parte tem uma frequência que oscila entre 60 e 80 horas ao longo do curso, a disciplina é oferecida geralmente entre o terceiro e sétimo período do curso. Dos 75 livros citados nas ementas mais de 50 tem menos de uma década de publicação os 25 restantes são anteriores a 2008. As cinco obras mais utilizadas: GRIFFITHS et al, 2008 e 2013 (20%), SNUSTAD e SIMMONS, 2008 e 2013 (13%), HARTI, 2010 (8%), PIRCE, 2011 (6,5%), NUSSBAUM et al, 1993 e 2002 (4%). A quantidade de livros da bibliografia complementar (107) é superior a de referências básicas (75), porém o que se nota é que alguns autores que aparecem em destaque são comuns às duas bibliografias. As 5 obras mais utilizadas na complementar são: SNUSTAD, 2008 e 2010 (7,5%), KLUG et al 2010 (5,5%), GRIFFITHS et al, 2002, 2006 e 2008 (4,5%), BROWN 2009 e 2012 (3,5%), PIRCE, 2004, 2011 e 2012 (3,5%). Entendendo que o curso de Ciências Biológicas licenciatura, forma professores de Biologia para atuarem no ensino básico e que o conteúdo de genética faz parte do currículo, acredita-se que a esta pesquisa serve de alerta para que os Núcleos Docentes Estruturantes possam rever as ementas e bibliografias utilizadas nessa disciplina. Ressaltase que os Projetos Pedagógicos de Cursos estão passando obrigatoriamente por reformulação de acordo com a resolução Conselho Nacional de Educação- Conselho Pleno nº 2, de 1º de julho de 2015- Define as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a formação inicial em nível superior. Momento ímpar para reestruturação do curso com perspectiva de melhorar a formação do professor do ensino básico.

Ante a demanda do mercado por profissionais com formação integral, transposta por competências abrangentes, também se adicionam ao contexto o alto grau de envolvimento dos estudantes com tecnologias, o papel das instituições de ensino e dos docentes na formação dos indivíduos e as evidências de que o processo de ensino-aprendizagem focado no estudante produz experiência de aprendizagem significativa. Esse cenário enseja identificar quais são as competências necessárias à formação integral. A literatura mostra estruturas que contribuem para o desenvolvimento de competências sem contemplar aquelas da formação integral, por completo, o que ensejou o delineamento do MAI, o qual se funda sobre os princípios do construtivismo e se apropria de modelos, estratégias e tecnologias para ensino-aprendizagem eficaz, com elementos aproveitados de forma sinérgica. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar um modelo instrucional para a formação integral do indivíduo por meio do ensino de contabilidade. O Modelo concebido foi transposto ao Moodle, em um curso sobre notas explicativas com a finalidade de constatar o alcance da formação integral e, ainda, verificar indícios de sua validade. Sua avaliação se deu por meio de duas edições do curso, nas modalidades semipresencial e online. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de levantamentos e analisados com base em estatística descritiva, testes não paramétricos e análises de conteúdo. Os resultados demonstraram a efetividade do MAI em conduzir ao desenvolvimento de comunicação, pensamento crítico, colaboração e solução de problemas no processo instrucional contábil, ao que se considera formação integral. O MAI acrescenta-se à literatura como alternativa viável ao ensino de contabilidade. Suas contribuições alcançam os estudantes, por proporcionarem experiência de formação integral, bem como os docentes, por migrarem de transmissões de conhecimentos para facilitadores, e as instituições de ensino superior, por demonstrarem como se pode realizar uma formação contextualizada pelo perfil digital dos estudantes e demandas do mercado. Com base nos achados, recomenda-se que disciplinas, cursos de contabilidade e áreas relacionadas sejam planejados, considerando o uso de modelos instrucionais como o MAI. / Given the market demand for fully educated professionals transposed by comprehensive competences, the high degree of student engagement with technology, the role of teaching institutions and teachers in the training of individuals, and the evidence that the process of student-centered teaching-learning produces meaningful learning experience. This scenario identifies the competences required for integral training. The literature shows structures that contribute to the development of competences, without contemplating those of integral formation, in full, which led to the design of the ILM, which is based on the principles of constructivism and appropriates models, strategies and technologies for teaching and learning, with elements used synergistically. The objective of this research was to evaluate an instructional model for the integral training of the individual through the teaching of accounting. The designed Model was transposed to Moodle, in a course on explanatory notes, with the purpose of verifying the scope of the integral formation, and still verify indications of its validity. His evaluation was made through two editions of the course, in the mixed and online modalities. The data were obtained through surveys and analyzed based on descriptive statistics, non-parametric tests and content analyzes. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the ILM in leading to the development of communication, critical thinking, collaboration and problem solving, in the accounting instructional process, which is considered integral formation. ILM is added to literature as a viable alternative to accounting education. Their contributions reach the students, by providing full training experience, the teachers, by migrating from transmissions of knowledge to facilitators, to higher education institutions, for demonstrating how a contextualized training can be carried out by students\' digital profile and market demands. Based on the findings, it is recommended that disciplines and accounting courses and related areas be planned considering the use of instructional models such as MAI.

The theoretical and methodological framework was based on the socio-historical approach proposed by Vygotsky. To carry out the work, carried out a literature review covering concepts of violence, school violence and bullying, with the aim of studying the different scientific contributions available, identifying the current knowledge on the subject. In the survey, a questionnaire was administered to sixty-three teachers and, subsequently, twelve teachers were chosen to be interviewed. The basic education of the public of the city of Rio Verde interview data were subjected to content analysis. It was found that these professionals have little understanding of bullying, which are still unknown as to them, because teachers showed clear difficulties in the processes of recognition and understanding of the phenomenon or as well as in developing coping strategies. Teachers mean bullying as a phenomenon in a major phase of expansion, which has its genesis in social inequalities, the influence of the media, and family conflicts. The explicit forms were the most evident, above all, through play, swearing and fighting. Teachers had difficulty identifying the violence implicit in interpersonal relations and educational routine, which indicates a somewhat critical view of the dynamics of relationships within the school. The strategies adopted by them to address the phenomenon aiming to impose limits, situating the dialogue between teacher and student as the most suitable for its scope. In general, teachers reported little preparation for dealing with bullying in the school context. / Este trabalho teve como objetivo compreender os significados para docentes do ensino fundamental, das escolas públicas municipais da cidade de Rio Verde, Goiás, sobre o fenômeno bullying, fornecendo subsídios para uma reflexão sobre as questões norteadoras do tema. O referencial teórico-metodológico fundamentou-se na abordagem sócio-histórica proposta por Vygotsky. Para a realização do trabalho, realizou-se uma revisão de literatura, abrangendo conceitos de violência, violência escolar e bullying, com o objetivo de estudar as diferentes contribuições científicas disponíveis, identificando o estágio atual do conhecimento sobre o tema. Na pesquisa, foi aplicado um questionário a sessenta e três professores e, posteriormente, foram escolhidos doze docentes para serem entrevistados. Os do ensino fundamental da rede pública da cidade de Rio Verde dados das entrevistas foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Constatou-se que esses profissionais possuem pouca compreensão sobre bullying, que ainda se apresenta como incógnita para eles, pois os professores evidenciaram claras dificuldades nos processos de reconhecimento e ou compreensão do fenômeno, bem como na elaboração de estratégias de enfrentamento. Os professores significam o bullying como um fenômeno em franco processo de ampliação, que tem sua gênese nas desigualdades sociais, na influência da mídia, e em conflitos familiares. As formas explícitas foram as mais evidenciadas, sobretudo, por meio de brincadeiras, palavrões e brigas. Os docentes apresentaram dificuldades em identificar a violência implícita nas relações interpessoais e na rotina pedagógica, o que indica uma visão pouco crítica das dinâmicas de relação no interior da escola. As estratégias adotadas por eles para abordar o fenômeno objetivam impor limites, situando o diálogo entre professor e aluno como a forma mais indicada para o seu alcance. Em geral, professores demonstraram pouco preparo para lidar com o bullying no contexto escolar.
