Previous issue date: 2012 / Resumo: Ao desempenhar as atividades de docente e de coordenador no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Santa Catarina (IF-SC), Campus São José, na área de Telecomunicações, este pesquisador estabeleceu um convívio diário com as dificuldades associadas ao fazer educativo e aos processos de ensino-aprendizagem ali desenvolvidos. Nesse sentido, este estudo se propõe a investigar o processo de formação, de atuação e da prática profissional dos bacharéis-professores (graduados, mas sem curso de Licenciatura) que atuam como docentes na modalidade dos cursos Técnico Integrado de Nível Médio e Pós-Médio no Instituto. O problema de investigação refere-se à seguinte questão: quais são as dificuldades e os desafios teórico-pedagógicos encontrados pelos bacharéis-professores da área de Telecomunicações do IF-SC, Campus São José e quais as ações de superação que eles utilizam para enfrentar ou solucionar essas dificuldades e desafios no processo do seu desenvolvimento profissional? O aporte teórico conta, principalmente, com a contribuição de autores como Tardif, Saviani, Shulman, Gauthier e Pimenta. A pesquisa assume os pressupostos da investigação qualitativa com o uso de questionários e entrevistas semi-estruturadas e uma amostra de onze professores da Instituição. O tratamento dos dados foi feito através de análise de conteúdo. A análise aponta as dificuldades e os desafios dos bacharéis-professores no ensinar e aprender cotidianos de diversas ordens, tais como: o compromisso em assumir disciplinas que não estão relacionadas diretamente com a sua formação face às demandas institucionais; a relação professor-aluno que envolve problemas associados à falta de motivação do aluno e às diferenças individuais de ordem pessoal, cognitiva e sociorrelacional no trabalho e afins; o acompanhamento do avanço dos conhecimentos técnico-científicos e a respectiva contextualização curricular prático-teórica; a falta de oportunidades para trocas de experiências entre docentes e o Suporte Educacional; a limitação para a interatividade reflexiva e contínua no grupo docente durante o ano letivo; a morosidade no tratamento dos processos estruturais para o funcionamento institucional, entre outros. Como ações de superação impetradas pelos bacharéis-professores, a análise sugere que, na sua grande maioria, são atitudes individuais calcadas na própria experiência de vida dos docentes. Entendemos, assim, que os conhecimentos didático-pedagógicos e, por conseguinte, as contribuições advindas da área de Educação, em seu conjunto para o exercício da profissão docente, são minimizadas ou até mesmo desvalorizadas pela maioria dos docentes entrevistados. Concluímos, portanto, que a formação pedagógica inicial e/ou contínua se faz necessária para o desenvolvimento profissional dos professores de Educação Profissional Tecnológica (EPT), na perspectiva de uma formação mais adequada ao desempenho da prática docente e superação de dificuldades e desafios. / Abstract: During my activities as a teacher and coordinator at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Santa Catarina, Campus São José, in the Telecommunication Area, I was used to deal with the difficulties of teachers (holders of a bachelor's degree, but devoid of teaching qualification) on their pedagogical involvement-doing in the teaching-learning processes in technical courses. Accordingly, this research aims at investigating the educational process and the bachelor-teachers' professional practices in relation to the Professional Technological Education of high and post-high school integrated courses at the Institute. The investigation problem refers to the following question: what are the difficulties and the theoretical-pedagogical challenges that bachelor-teachers who work in the Telecommunication Area at IF-SC, Campus São José, have to overcome, and what are the actions they are used to come up with in order to find a way of dealing or solving these difficulties and challenges in their professional development process? The theoretical background of this research includes contributions from authors such as Tardif, Saviani, Shulman, Gauthier and Pimenta. This research has a qualitative character, with quizzes and half-structured interviews, which were applied to eleven teachers of the Institute. Data analysis was made through content analysis. The analysis points out several types of everyday bachelor-teachers' difficulties, as well as challenges in their teaching-learning processes, such as: taking responsibility on subjects that are not directly connected to their education degree, due to institutional demands; the teacher-student relationship, which presents problems concerned with the students' lack of motivation, as well as cognitive, social-relational differences at work and so on; monitoring the development of the scientific and technological knowledge and its respective practical-theoretical curricular contextualization; the lack of opportunities for the exchange of experiences between teachers and the Educational Support; the limitation for the reflexive and continuous interactivity in the teachers' group during the school year; delay in the treatment of structural processes for the institutional functioning, and so on. The analysis suggests that most teachers use their personal experiences as a way of overcoming problems in their professional lives. Therefore, we understand that there is a minimization of the didactic-pedagogical knowledge, as well as of the contributions from the Education area to the professional teachers' practices - they were even undervalued by most of the teachers who participated in the interview. Thus, we conclude that the initial and/or continual pedagogical qualification is needful to Professional Technological Education (PTE) teachers' professional development with the purpose of acquiring a straight qualification to their performances, as well as to overcome difficulties and challenges. / Mestrado / Ensino e Práticas Culturais / Mestre em Educação

Du BEP au baccalauréat professionnel, une élévation du niveau de qualification ? : l’exemple de la filière sanitaire et sociale avec la mise en place du baccalauréat professionnel Accompagnement, soins et services à la personne / From « BEP » to vocationnal « baccalauréat », increase of qualification? : Social and health sector in exampleRemery, Isabelle 11 June 2018 (has links)
La rénovation de la voie professionnelle en 2009 a abouti à la mise en place du baccalauréat professionnel en trois années de formation après la classe de troisième. Les enjeux sociaux et politiques affichés par le ministère s’articulent autour d’un objectif d’élévation des niveaux de qualification pour favoriser l’employabilité des jeunes. Nous avons contextualisé la mise en place de cette politique dans un secteur de formation particulier, le secteur sanitaire et social. Nous étudions à partir d'écrits scolaires et institutionnels et d'entretiens d'élèves le lien entre, d’une part, les enjeux politiques et économiques nationaux présidant à l’élaboration des diplômes, et, d’autre part, la façon dont les enseignants et acteurs de la formation investissent le nouveau référentiel et ses incidences sur le rapport au curriculum et la construction professionnelle des élèves. / The renovation of the vocational education and training (VET) in 2009 led to the introduction of the vocational baccalaureate in three years of training. The social and political issues raised by the ministry revolve around a goal of raising the levels of qualification to promote the employability of young people. We have contextualized the implementation of this policy in a particular training sector, the health and social sector. We study from academic and institutional writings and student interviews the link between, on the one hand, the national political and economic issues governing the development of diplomas, and, on the other hand, the way in which teachers and VET actors invest in the new curriculum and its impact on the relationship to the curriculum and the professional construction of students.

高職英文教師對於字彙學習策略融入教學的信念與實踐 / Vocational High School English Teachers' Beliefs and Practices in Integrating Vocabulary Learning Strategies into Their Instruction廖乙驊, Liao,I hua Unknown Date (has links)
回溯過去的研究,教師信念對於其教學行為影響非常深遠,但是對於字彙學習策略融入教學這個議題,相關的研究仍然不多。本研究旨在探討高職英文教師對於字彙學習策略融入教學的信念還有實際的教學情形。文獻探討涵蓋字彙教學的發展、字彙學習策略的理論以及教師信念與實踐。
本研究所蒐集到的有效問卷為二百零一份,研究的對象為台灣的高職英文教師。研究方式採用量化的教師問卷佐以質性的教師訪談。共有八位教師參與本研究的訪談。訪談的內容經過整理分析,用來解釋或補充問卷統計的結果。分析問卷時,採用的統計方法有描述性統計、相關係數、單因子變異數分析。本研究的主題如下:(一) 教師信念及教學情形:分別以認知策略、社會策略、後設認知以及學習媒介等策略來探討、(二)教師信念與其實踐情形是否符合,與造成兩者之間不相符的可能原因以及(三)探討影響教師信念與實踐的各種因素。
本研究的主要發現是:
1. 教師對於字彙學習策略融入教學抱持相當正面的態度,而實踐程度是中低等以上。
2. 由於統計顯示教師信念和實踐是正相關,教師實踐和他們的信念大致符合,不過教師所面臨的一些問題如教學時數限制、學生動機、教科書的設計、資源不足等會使他們無法完全遵照其信念於教學。
3. 一些因素如教學年資、教師學歷、學生程度、英語教學時間長短、教師是否參加字彙相關研習,以及是否接觸學習策略相關的研究報告等確實會影響教師的教學信念與實踐。
本研究有助於了解高職英文教師對於字彙學習策略融入教學的信念以及他們實踐的情形,希望能夠提升老師對於策略教學的覺知。研究者對於英文教師、師資培育機構、教育部還有教師書出版社提出建議改善之道,期望能進一步提升高職的英語教學。 / Although research has shown that teacher beliefs play a decisive role in teachers’ instructional judgments and decisions, their beliefs and practices in integrating vocabulary learning strategies have not gained enough attention in the recent English educational forum. This study aimed to explore what attitudes vocational high school English teachers held toward the instruction of vocabulary learning strategies and their practices of the beliefs. Literature review ranged from vocabulary instruction, vocabulary learning strategies to teachers’ beliefs and practices.
The participants of this study were vocational high school teachers in Taiwan. The data collection instruments were questionnaire and interview. The former provided mainly quantitative data and the latter qualitative data. A total of 201 valid questionnaires were analyzed and computed by means of descriptive statistics, correlation, t-test and one-way ANOVA. Eight teachers were contacted for the follow-up interviews. Their interview results were utilized to further support and explain the questionnaire data. There were three issues investigated in this study. The first one was teachers’ beliefs and practices in integrating vocabulary learning strategies into their instruction. Teachers’ beliefs and practices of cognitive strategies, social strategies, multiple sources, and metacognitive strategies were discussed. The second was the consistency and inconsistency between teachers’ beliefs and their practices and the possible problems that might cause the inconsistency. The third one was influential factors that affected teachers’ beliefs and practices.
Based on the results of the study, major findings were summarized. First, teachers approved highly of the integration of vocabulary learning strategies and the frequency of their practices ranged from low to high. Second, based on the significant correlation of teachers’ beliefs and practices, the relationship was generally consistent. However, teachers were not able to teach what they believed completely. Some of the strategies revealed larger gap due to the problems from the curriculum, students’ motivation, textbook design and teachers’ preparation. Third, variables such as teachers’ teaching experience, educational background, students’ BCT test score, instructional time, teachers’ attendance of workshops and their exposure to related research were found to be significant in affecting teachers’ beliefs and practices.
It is hoped that the study can contribute to more understanding of vocational high school teachers’ beliefs and practices in vocabulary learning strategies. Teachers may inspect their teaching process and raise the awareness of integrating vocabulary learning strategies into their teaching. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher further made suggestions to English teachers, teacher education institutes, the Ministry of Education and the textbook publishers. Results of this study might help enhance English teaching in vocational high schools.

四技二專英文科測驗之演變與高職英文課程綱要之互動 / A Study on the Development of the English Tests of the Technological and Vocational Education Joint College Entrance Examination (TVEE) and its Interaction with the Guidelines of the Vocational High School English Program (VHSEP)劉妃欽, Liu, Fei Chin Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在探討四技二專英文科測驗與高職英文課程綱要之互動,分別從以下三方面來探討: 一、四技二專英文試題的發展歷程。二、高職英文課程綱要在不同階段的特色。三、四技二專英文科試題與高職英文課程綱要之互動。
本研究採試題定性分析法,以分析81年至97年四技二專英文科試題及76、87、95年教育部所頒布之高職英文課程綱要,同時參考相關之測驗、教學研究論文,探討四技二專英文科測驗與高職英文課程綱要之互動。主要發現如下:
第一, 81-87年四技二專英文科測驗的重點在於僅測驗學生單項的語言知識,且偏重學生的記憶力而非綜合分析的能力,題幹也較少提供足夠的情境及線索供受試者參考。測驗的重點與課程綱要在某方面有相呼應之處,例如著重文法及單項的語言知識;閱讀測驗的取材雖多樣化,設計卻有不當之處;另外, 課程綱要雖重視聽說讀寫技巧, 但測驗僅能測出讀的能力。
第二,88-89 年試題轉變為漸漸著重整合式試題及語言的使用,例如,發音及拼字不再出現,且因課程綱要鼓勵老師使用溝通式教學法,所以測驗的特質亦略具溝通式語文學習,取材的內容著重與生活相關。當時的課程綱要亦有此特色。然聽、說、寫能力並沒有被測驗出來,題幹所提供的線索不足,文法測驗停留於單句的測驗,都是與課程綱要不符合之處。
第三,90-97年為試題產生最大變革的階段,90年教育部成立技專校院入學測驗中心,負責命題、建立題庫、分析試題、開發新題型等工作。因此90年度之後考試題型固定,溝通式語文教學及測驗目標確定,多為整合式題型,題幹有足夠的線索及情境,整體理解重於局部理解。例如:文法測驗併入克漏字測驗, 閱讀測驗需應用閱讀策略。此時的課程綱要著重後設認知理論,要學生培養有效的學習策略,測驗有反應此特色。但聽、說、寫能力並沒有被測驗出來,這違反課程綱要的目標。
此研究結果對於四技二專英文科測驗及高職英文教學有相當的啟示,是值得投注更多關注與研究的領域。
