Facebook studio groups/pages are commonly used by applied music faculty to communicate with current students, recruit new students, share students' activities, and promote faculty members' professional performances and academic endeavors. However, the blurred lines between academic, professional performance, and social activities in the field have led to a wide variety of approaches to Facebook use by music faculty. This dissertation documents the first generation of music faculty social media users and investigates the beliefs, intent, and lived experiences of music faculty who use Facebook studio groups/pages to communicate with their students. Four music faculty were interviewed and a semester's Facebook studio group/page data collected for each faculty member. Interviews and Facebook data were analyzed using Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to identify emergent, and ultimately super-ordinate, themes from the data. The three super-ordinate themes that emerged were: Impact of Social Media on Studio Teaching and Learning, Learning through Enculturation, and Faculty Lived Experiences with Facebook Studio Groups/Pages. Findings of the study included: faculty concerns about personal and professional risk; the observation that teaching and learning are occurring through these Facebook studio groups/pages by way of the process of enculturation, but without evidence of a Virtual Community of Practice; and, a multitude of group/page management practices developed in isolation that suggest a need for discussion/debate and training in the field to determine best practices for using Facebook studio groups/pages as an extension of the physical studio. Recommendations include training for music faculty that situates Facebook studio groups/pages within the enculturation process of students pursuing careers in music, music department development of guidelines for Facebook group/page creation and management based upon their institutions' rules and oversight procedures, and the sharing of exemplar Facebook studio groups/pages by professional music education organizations to encourage discussion of best practices for teaching and learning in informal environments.

A quantitative study was conducted to determine the socio-economic outcomes for the beneficiaries of the Expanded Child Survival Initiative in Uganda. The population comprised of all orphans and vulnerable children who were trained under the Expanded Child Survival Initiative of which a sample of 102 respondents were included in the structured data collection process. The outcomes that were explored were employment, income, assets and family support to siblings and other dependants by the primary beneficiaries. The findings show that the outcomes of the Expanded Child Survival Initiative were positive and benefited socio economic lives of the respondents and their family members. The majority of the respondents were using the skills obtained from the training and were employed. The employment provided a source of income and the income earned facilitates the respondents in providing the basic needs of the family members. They were able to provide adequately for most of their basic needs. The findings also show that the respondents had accumulated some assets. A number of factors influenced the utilisation of the newly acquired skills including having tool kits, start-up capital and business management skills. It is recommended that training providers should provide start-up support to the apprentices in order to facilitate them to utilise the skills obtained from apprenticeship trainings. / Public Health / Thesis (M.A. (Public Health))

Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Democratic South African government inaugurated in 1994 identified the need for intermediate skills that are required to contribute to the growth of the economy and to reduce the high unemployment rate. Further Education and Training Colleges (FETC) were established after 1994 by merging the former 152 technical colleges into 50 FETCs. The function of these FETCs was to offer intermediate skills to the youth, women, and employed and unemployed South Africans. The South African government introduced a number of strategies, Acts and policies to support the colleges and to implement demand-driven intermediate skills programmes which would close the skills gap and improve the growth of the economy. These policies seek to ensure that skills offered at colleges are aligned to the needs of industry and to make sure that the college programmes will be in demand in the work place. The study presented is aimed at investigating this alignment by evaluating how apprentices in the final stage of their vocational training perform and meet the demands at their work places. A number of strategies used by different countries to support and develop their education systems are discussed. The discussion is directed at considering how vocational education ensures a positive contribution to skills development and what its impact is on the growth of the economy. This study provides a comprehensive policy and legislative framework which governs and supports the higher education institutions and the FETCs. The study was designed to determine whether welding apprentices from the College are, according to the work place staff and management and stakeholder bodies, appropriately equipped with vocational skills and knowledge to execute their duties at the work place. The evaluation and analysis of the data extracted from the responses of the interviews and questionnaires are presented and discussed. The results enabled the researcher to conclude that the evaluation of apprentice performance at the work place provides significant insight into the question of how vocational training and knowledge at the WCFETC meet the demands at the work place. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations are made. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die demokratiese Suid-Afrikaanse Regering, wat in 1994 ingehuldig is, het die behoefte aan intermediêre vaardighede om die groei van die ekonomie en die van die hoë werkloosheidssyfer te verlig, geïdentifiseer. Verdere Onderwys en Opleiding Kolleges (VOOKS) is na 1994 totstand gebring deur die samesmelting van 152 voormalige Tegniese kolleges tot 50 VOOKS. Die funksie van die Verdere Onderwys en Opleiding Kolleges was om intermediêre vaardighede aan die jeug, vrouens en Suid-Afrikaners in diens of werkloos, te verskaf. Die Suid-Afrikaanse Regering het ´n aantal strategieë, wette en beleidsrigtings aangeneem om die kolleges te ondersteun en om die aanvraag-gedrewe intermediêre vaardigheidsprogramme te implementeer wat dan die vaardigheidsgaping sou vernou en die groei van die ekonomie sou bevorder. Hierdie beleidsrigting beoog om te verseker dat vaardighede wat by die Kolleges aangebied word, belyn is met die industrie as ook om te verseker dat die kollege programme benodig word in die werksplek. Die studie is gemik daarop om hierdie belyning te ondersoek en te evalueer hoe vakleerlinge in die laaste stadium van hulle ambagsopleiding vaar, en voldoen aan die eise van die werksplek. ´n Aantal strategieë wat deur verskillende lande gebruik word, om hulle eie opvoedingsstelsels te ontwikkel, word bespreek. Die bespreking verwys na hoe ambagsopvoeding ´n toevoeging tot vaardigheidsontwikkeling kan verseker en wat die impak daarvan op die groei van die ekonomie het. ´n Alomvattende beleid en ´n wetsraamwerk, wat Hoër OpvoedingsInstansies en die Verdere Onderwys en Opleiding Kolleges beheer en ondersteun, word verskaf. Die studie is ontwerp om te bepaal of die sweis vakleerlinge van die kollege, volgens die werksplek personeel en -bestuur en belanghebbende liggame, toepaslik toegerus en bevoeg is met ambagsvaardighede en kennis om die pligte van die werksplek uit te voer. Die evaluering en analise van die data, afgelei van die terugvoering van die onderhoude en vraelyste, word weergegee en voledig bespreek. Die resultate stel die navorser in staat om tot die gevolgtrekking te kom dat die evaluering van vakleerling-werksverrigting by die werksplek merkbare insig tot die vraag hoe ambagsopleiding en kennis by die Weskus VOOK aan die eise van die werksplek voldoen. Gevolgtrekkings en aanbevelings word aangebied.

There has been an increasing amount of interest shown in vocational education and apprenticeships in the early twenty-first century by successive governments and other parties connected with occupational training. However, the English further education sector has been described as ‘chronically under-researched’ (James and Biesta, 2007: 7), particularly in regard to narrative accounts of college education and pedagogy (Richardson, 2007) and there has been very little empirical research on pathways into the plumbing profession. This study explored teachers’ and students’ perceptions and experiences of both full-time college courses and apprenticeships in plumbing in order to deepen understanding of these particular types of vocational preparation. It also endeavoured to investigate whether the two different routes into plumbing appeared fit for purpose. Within an interpretive framework, data were collected using two main research methods. Ethnographic snapshot observations were recorded during lessons in three further education colleges and at the workplaces of five plumbing students and formal 1:1 semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 tutors and 14 students. The data were thematically analysed. From the many issues relating to the opportunities offered and the challenges posed by the different pathways into plumbing that this study identified, three key findings emerged. First, there was strong evidence of a dislocation between theory and practical learning, both within the college setting for full-time students and between the workplace and college settings for apprenticed learners. This had implications for both the quality of learning and the learners’ levels of motivation. Second, the study revealed the importance of supervised work experience that was centred on long-term acquisition of knowledge and relationship development for apprentices with support from their college tutors and co-workers. Finally, the findings showed the importance of authentic assessment. It was found that simulations in college could not adequately replicate the experience of doing the job in the real world. Given the inherent risks and problems regularly encountered in the plumbing profession, this signalled significant health and safety implications.

Cette thèse se veut une contribution à la recherche en éducation musicale en France. Elle est ancrée dans le domaine de l’enseignement spécialisé de la direction de chœur et aborde les pratiques de l’élève et de l’enseignant dans leur interdépendance, à travers l’analyse d’une situation réelle d’enseignement-apprentissage du geste de direction musicale. La recherche traite spécifiquement le travail de l’enseignant et tente de mettre en lumière le rôle de ce dernier dans la construction des savoir-faire liés à un élément technique particulier :« la levée ». Il s’agit de mettre en évidence la manière dont l’enseignant structure le cours, et les aménagements qu’il opère, en termes de « milieu » pour accompagner l’élève vers les connaissances visées. / This thesis has the purpose investing in the research of musical education in France. It isfocused on specialised teaching for choir conductors and hence studies the practicesundertaken by both the student and the teacher interdependently, by analysing the conductinggestures in a real teaching-learning situation. The research specifically takes an interest in theteacher's work, and seeks to highlight the role of the latter in the building of knowledge linkedto a particular technical element: « the upbeat ». Of particular importance is the way in whichthe teacher structures the lessons, organises the layout, in terms of “the environment” in orderto direct the students towards targeted learning.

Cette thèse analyse la confrontation entre les réformes postales inspirées du nouveau management public, cristallisées dans la politique de rationalisation de l’activité de travail, et les pratiques professionnelles des salariés. Elle étudie les enjeux, les modalités et les limites de la définition normative du travail des conseillers financiers. Désignés par l’organisation comme des acteurs du changement, ces derniers doivent gérer la tension entre logique de marché et mission de service public, qui persiste à travers un double langage de La Poste. Sont ainsi mis en évidence des positionnements professionnels qui se construisent en décalage par rapport à la norme de référence du conseiller idéal portée par l’entreprise. Cette dernière mise donc sur ses jeunes recrues, supposées réceptives aux nouvelles logiques managériales. L’étude du processus de socialisation professionnelle de ces conseillers potentiels, inscrit dans les parcours individuels, permet d’interroger l’homogénéisation des pratiques et la persistance du modèle social postal. L’approche repose sur une comparaison territoriale (Méditerranée/Île-de-France) et générationnelle. La combinaison de plusieurs techniques d’investigation (observation participante au sein de la DRH de La Banque Postale, enquête longitudinale prospective par panel menée auprès d’apprentis conseillers financiers, monographie de bureaux de poste et exploitation de données statistiques) permet de croiser les parcours biographiques et les éléments structurels d’analyse des politiques d’emploi, de travail et de formation de La Poste. / This thesis analyses the confrontation between postal reforms inspired by the new public management, fulfilled in the rationalisation politics of the working activity, and employee professional practices. It studies the stakes, the modalities and the limits of the financial advisers normative work definition. Designated as change agents by the organisation, they must manage the dynamics between market logic and the public services mission which persists through a double language at La Poste. This puts into evidence the professional positioning that is constructed based on the referential norm of the ideal adviser portrayed by the organisation. The latest therefore counts on its young recruits, excepted to be receptive to the new managerial logics. The study of the socialisation process of its potential advisers, registered on individual career paths, allows questioning the homogenisation in the practices and persistence of the social postal model. The approach is based on a territorial comparison (Mediterranean/Parisian region) as well as generational. The combination of several investigation techniques (participative observation within the HR Direction at La Banque Postale, longitudinal panel survey conducted on financial adviser apprentices, monograph of post offices and exploitation of statistic data) allows crossing of biographical paths (personal and career) and the structural elements of employment politics analysis, work, and training at La Poste.

A presente tese analisa as aprendizagens profissionais desenvolvidas em período de estágio curricular, em que os alunos do curso de Licenciatura em Geografia da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa (UEPG), Paraná, acompanharam o trabalho de professores de escolas de educação básica (Ensino Fundamental II). O conceito que fundamenta nossas análises é o de profissionalidade docente, por considerarmos que nele está o centro das proposições do estágio; assim, buscamos identificar quais elementos e dimensões da profissionalidade permeiam as ações na etapa do estágio. O foco da pesquisa está em identificar as aprendizagens que os alunos da licenciatura desenvolvem durante o estágio e, com base nesses elementos, reconhecer o papel do professor de Geografia da educação básica na formação inicial desses alunos. Buscamos fundamentar a tese de que o professor da educação básica, que atua como supervisor de estágio, é um formador de professores, na medida em que transmite saberes profissionais constituídos em decorrência de experiências individuais e coletivas, em contextos sociais, institucionais e técnico-pedagógicos, consolidados no exercício profissional. Esses saberes possibilitam aos alunos-estagiários a reflexividade da ação docente e das práticas escolares, por meio do diálogo com e na realidade profissional. O parâmetro adotado para realizar esta investigação são os ensinos e as orientações dadas por esses professores no desenvolvimento profissional dos alunos. Para gerar as informações e proceder às análises, optamos pelo método qualitativo, adotando as diretrizes fornecidas pela metodologia de análise de conteúdo, de acordo com Bardin (2007) e Franco (2008), na compreensão do objeto investigado. Realizamos entrevistas com um grupo de alunos do curso de Licenciatura em Geografia e com os professores das escolas da educação básica que os supervisionaram em períodos de estágio. As informações obtidas, o delineamento e o interesse no objeto investigado suscitaram análises no âmbito dos saberes da docência e do habitus na prática docente. Esses dois elementos foram utilizados como categorias, ao reconhecermos o direcionamento das orientações realizadas pelos professores. A centralidade das ações desses professores está no desenvolvimento da competência profissional dos alunos, com ênfase nos esquemas práticos desenvolvidos por eles durante as aulas ministradas. O diálogo não foi um elemento constante e primordial para o desenvolvimento das aprendizagens, as quais resultaram, em grande parte, de observações individuais dos estagiários sobre a prática didática dos professores da escola básica. Além de saberes, esses professores se preocuparam com a formação do habitus docente, orientando os alunos em relação a posturas, técnicas, demonstrando senso prático. Dentre o corpus de saberes reconhecidos para a docência, os professores atribuem maior importância àqueles construídos na prática profissional, com exceção dos saberes do conteúdo, os quais, segundo eles, devem ser consolidados no curso de graduação. Esses professores compreendem o estágio como espaço de trocas de experiências e, nesse processo, consideram-se orientadores de alunos-estagiários. Porém, apontam a falta de integração com os professores supervisores de estágio da universidade como um dos obstáculos ao bom desempenho dessa tarefa. / This thesis examines the professional abilities developed during the mandatory Geography teaching apprenticeship program, in which students of the Geography Teaching Licensure Course of the State University of Ponta Grossa (UEPG), Paraná, followed the work of teachers in intermediate schools (6th to 9th grade). The basic concept that underlies our analysis is that of professionality teaching, because we believe it is the center of the propositions of the apprenticeship program; thus, we sought to identify which elements and dimensions of professional teacher activity permeate actions within the apprenticeship program. The focus of the research is to identify the abilities that licensure students develop during the apprenticeship program, and with base on these elements, recognize the role of Geography teachers of intermediate schools in the basic background education of these students. We sought to provide support to the thesis that intermediate school teachers, who act as apprenticeship supervisors, are teacher coaches, as they convey professional knowledge that is built as a result of individual and collective experiences in social, institutional, technical and pedagogical contexts which are consolidated through professional activity. This knowledge enables apprentice-students to experiment the reflective-thought action of teaching activities and school practices, through dialogue with, and within, professional reality. The parameters adopted in this research are the teachings and guidance given by those teachers in the professional development of the apprentice-students. To organize information and carry out the analysis, we chose the qualitative method, adopting the guidelines provided by the Content Analysis Methodology according to Bardin (2007) and Franco (2008) to understand the object under study. We interviewed a group of students from the Geography Teaching Licensure Course and the elementary school teachers who supervised their apprenticeship programs. The information obtained, the description and interest in the object studied raised analyses in the fields of teaching knowledges and in the habitus of teaching practice. These two elements were used as categories, to recognize the direction of the advice given by teachers. The central point of the prescriptive actions of these teachers is the development of professional competence of students, with emphasis on practical schemes developed by them during classes. The dialogue was not a constant and essential element for the development of these abilities, which resulted largely from individual observations of the apprentices on the teaching practice of these elementary school teachers. In addition to knowledges, these teachers were concerned with building a teaching habitus, counseling students with regard to attitude, techniques, demonstrating a practical sense. Within the recognized body of knowledge for teaching, teachers give more importance to those built during professional practice, except for the knowledge of content, which they say should be consolidated during the undergraduate course. These teachers understand the apprenticeship program as a space for exchanging experiences and, within the process, they consider themselves orientators of the student-apprentices. However, they point the lack of integration with the apprenticeship program supervising professors of the university as one of the obstacles to performing this task well.

The qualitative research, subsidized by the theory of Experiential Learning and by the dimensions studied in the field of Didacticism through systemic reflection and practice, was developed from the method of content analyses, having the following as its instruments: documents made available through an educator s development course, via online education, and via contents co-developed through interviews with teachers, students and one of the coordinators to the course investigated. The studies developed show that the adult learns with effect from experiences developed through cycles, within an upward spiral, throughout their lives. These cycles are experienced starting from the concept of convergent plasticity to organic working, from social integration, and from individual development built by biopsycho- socio aspects. The plasticity is the base element for the human organism due to its adaptability, suitability and transformation, and all the elements related to human learning have to be coherent with such premise. The online learning environments used for the development of educators should, within didactic strategies, see We tried, in the light of the data interpreted and the theories studied, to propose teaching strategies for the construction of an online Didacticism that can favor the educator s apprenticeship / A presente tese tem por objetivo desenvolver uma investigação sobre a aprendizagem do adulto, especificamente do educador, e buscar estratégias didáticas que auxiliem o desenvolvimento desse processo em ambientes de educação a distância on-line. A pesquisa qualitativa, subsidiada pela teoria da aprendizagem experiencial e pelas dimensões estudas pela área da Didática, numa reflexão e prática sistêmicas, se desenvolveu a partir do método análise de conteúdo, tendo como instrumentos: documentos disponibilizados num curso de formação de educadores, via educação a distância on-line, e conteúdos co-construídos por meio de entrevistas com professores, alunos e uma das coordenadoras do curso investigado. Os estudos desenvolvidos revelaram que o adulto aprende a partir de experiências que se desenvolvem por meio de ciclos, em espiral crescente, ao longo de sua vida. Estes ciclos são vivenciados a partir do conceito de plasticidade convergentes ao funcionamento orgânico, às integrações sociais, ao desenvolvimento individual, co-construídos por aspectos bio-psico-socio-educacionais. A plasticidade é o elemento fundante do organismo humano por sua possibilidade de adaptação, adequação e transformação e todos os elementos que envolvem a aprendizagem humana devem ser coerentes com tal premissa. Os ambientes de aprendizagem on-line utilizados para a formação de educadores devem buscar nas estratégias didáticas encaminhamentos para que o processo de aprendizagem contribua para o desenvolvimento do adulto integrado / autônomo. Procurou-se, à luz das interpretações dos dados e das teorias estudadas, propor estratégias de ensino para a construção de uma Didática on-line que favoreça a aprendizagem do educador

Diante da necessidade de reflexão constante sobre os processos de formação docente e do estágio supervisionado como um espaço privilegiado dessa formação, o presente trabalho focaliza sua atenção no professor da escola básica que recebe estagiários em sua sala de aula. Considerando os três atores principais do estágio, o estagiário, o professor universitário das disciplinas responsáveis pelo estágio e o professor da escola que recebe o estagiário, este último tem sido o menos ouvido em termos de trabalhos que discutem o estágio, suas possibilidades e problemas. O professor da escola básica, mesmo não sendo atualmente, na maioria dos casos, um participante envolvido intencionalmente no estágio supervisionado, está envolvido na atividade de formação docente ao receber o estagiário. A questão que nos orientou foi: Que sentidos professores que ministram aulas de Física no ensino Médio e recebem estagiários em suas salas de aula, atribuem ao estágio supervisionado da Licenciatura de Física e que relações podemos estabelecer entre esses sentidos e a formação inicial docente? Trabalhamos com uma metodologia qualitativa e nos aproximamos da abordagem sócio histórica, pela preocupação em compreender os eventos investigados, descrevendo-os e procurando suas possíveis relações, numa busca de integração do individual com o social. Foram nossos sujeitos professores do ensino médio que ministram aulas de Física, que receberam estagiários em suas salas e que foram considerados, por esses estagiários, professores que os receberam bem. Identificamos cinco sentidos para o estágio supervisionado, atribuídos pelos professores parceiros: espaço de trabalho coletivo; espaço de formação; espaço de satisfação de uma necessidade não individual do professor parceiro; espaço de análise do desenvolvimento profissional docente e de aproximação da universidade com a escola. As implicações dos sentidos dos professores parceiros sobre o estágio supervisionado apontam para três aspectos básicos na formação docente. Primeiro, aumentam a compreensão do que acontece no estágio a partir da visão do professor parceiro. Segundo, há implicações relacionadas com a possibilidade de contribuição para a formação do próprio professor parceiro, pelo contato com o estagiário e do professor universitário responsável pelas disciplinas de estágio supervisionado, pela maior compreensão do estágio, da formação e da prática docente. Sendo esse ganho de compreensão revertido tanto no trabalho de formação quanto no de pesquisa sobre a formação ou sobre a prática docente. E, finalmente, em terceiro lugar, apontando possibilidades e empecilhos determinados pelas instituições envolvidas na adequação de condições para que esse estágio aconteça de maneira mais produtiva, possibilidades que podem ser melhor aproveitadas e empecilhos que precisam ser contestados e questionados nos fóruns adequados.A síntese das implicações desses sentidos para a formação aponta para a necessidade de ações intencionais na direção de uma maior aproximação entre a universidade e a escola, visto que há na situação de estágio e, em especial, no contato com o professor parceiro uma série de possibilidades de atendimento de exigências legais atuais e de atuação para a melhoria da formação inicial e continuada através de uma melhor compreensão dos contextos e das práticas docentes. O olhar mais atento das instituições formadoras e o movimento das políticas educacionais e gerais visando a organização de condições mais favoráveis para a articulação do trabalho em parceria das instituições envolvidas pode efetivar a concretização dessas potencialidades. / Facing the need for constant reflection on the processes of teacher training and supervised apprenticeship as a special area of training, this present paper focuses its attention on basic education teachers receiving trainees in the classrooms. Considering the three main actors of the apprenticeship, the trainee teacher, the university professor of the responsible disciplines for the apprenticeship and the school teacher who receives the trainee teacher, this last has been less heard in terms of papers that discuss the apprenticeship, its possibilities and problems. The basic school teacher even not being currently an intentional participant engaged in supervised apprenticeship is involved in the activity of teacher education when receives the trainee. The question that guided us was: What sense teachers, who teach physics classes in high school and receive trainees in their classrooms, assign to supervised apprenticeship of the Degree in physics and what kind of connections between these senses and initial teacher training can we establish? We work with a qualitative methodology and approach of the socio-historic approach, by the concern to understand the investigated events, describing them and seeking their possible connections in a quest for integration of the individual and the social. Were our subjects, teachers who teach high school physics classes who received trainee teachers in their classrooms and were considered by these trainees as teachers who treated them well. We identified five meanings for the supervised apprenticeship, established by the partner teachers: common work environment, formation environment, satisfaction of a no individual need of the partner teacher environment, environment of analysis of the teaching professional development and approximation from the university with the school. The implications of the partner teacher\'s meanings about the supervised apprenticeship point to three basic aspects on teaching formation. First, it raises the comprehension of what occurs in the training as from the partner teacher\'s vision. Second, there are implications with the possibility of contribution for the formation of the partner teacher himself, by the contact with the trainee and the university professor responsible for the subjects of the supervised apprenticeship, for a higher comprehension of the apprenticeship, of formation and teaching practice. Being this gain of comprehension reverted as much on the formation work as on the research about the formation or about the teaching practice. And finally, in third place, pointing possibilities and obstacles determined by institutions involved on the adequacy of conditions for this apprenticeship occurs in more productive manners, possibilities that may be better utilized and obstacles that need to be refuted and questioned on the proper forums. The synthesis of the implications of these meanings for the formation points to the necessity of intentional actions on the direction of a larger approximation between the university and the school, since there is in the apprenticeship\'s situation and, especially, on the contact with the partner teacher a series of possibilities of attendance of legal demands and of actuation for the improvement of the initial formation and continued through a better comprehension of the contexts and of teaching practices. The more attentive look from the formative institutions and the development of educational and general policies aiming the organization of more favorable conditions for the work articulation in partnership of the involved institutions may put into effect the concretization of these potentialities.
