Ce travail représente un cheminement de recherche qui a consisté en l’exploration d’indices numériques et de critères qualitatifs permettant d’étudier les prises de décision tactiques chez deux groupes de filles d’origines culturelles différentes (tunisienne et française). Avec cette étude, nous envisageons de contribuer au développement d'un corpus de connaissances propre aux sports collectifs dont le handball féminin à l’école. En particulier, nous ambitionnons de généraliser des outils et des méthodes d'observation permettant d'obtenir des informations plus pertinentes, plus précises sur ce qui se passe réellement en jeu dans les rapports d’opposition.Les différentes expérimentations montrent l’effet de la condition d’apprentissage avec verbalisation sur le projet d’action et sur la pertinence des choix dans les configurations du jeu lors des rencontres. Il y a donc un intérêt certain pour la construction de connaissances tactiques à long terme en relation avec la mise en œuvre d’une véritable sémiotique de l’action motrice en handball. Les jeux réduits constituent un outil d’apprentissage fondamental en didactique des sports collectifs. La mise en relation de la pensée dans et sur l’action offre aux élèves des moyens différenciés pour progresser. Le retour réflexif sur la pratique est une source de perfectionnement de cette dernière en permettant d’accéder aux règles d’action. En préservant une rigueur certaine dans la démarche de recherche et en ayant pour souci de clarifier les différentes étapes de notre travail, nous avons tenté de contribuer au développement d’une didactique scolaire des jeux collectifs. / This work represents a research process that consisted in exploring numerical indices and qualitative criteria in order to study decision making with two groups of girls from two different cultural backgrounds (French and Tunisian). Through this study we hope to contribute to the development of a body of knowledge relative to team sports, including female handball at school. Specifically, our ambition is to generalize observational tools and methods giving access to more pertinent and precise information on what actually happens in game play with respect to the opposition relationship.The different experimentations show the effect of the learning condition with verbalization on the action project and on the pertinence of choices in configurations of play during game play. There is an unquestionable interest for the construction of long term tactical knowledge in relation to the implementation of an actual motor semiotic activity in handball.Small-sided games constitute a fundamental learning tool in team sport didactics. Relating thought in and on action offers students differentiated ways for making progress. Reflective feedback on game play generates its improvement, for it provides access to action rules. By insuring rigor in the research process and by keeping in mind the clarification of the various stages of our work, we tried to contribute to the development of team sport didactics at school

This dissertation aims at analyzing what has been produced in Brazil in the form of Master s Dissertations and Doctorate s Thesis in the last two decades in the field of International Comparative Education. The objective of this research was to understand if these works are realized according to the standards, procedures and perspectives indicated by multilateral agencies or otherwise, if what has been academically accomplished in the field has been criticizing the influence of multilateral agencies on the educational policies implemented in Brazil. A group of 37 keywords related to Comparative Education was searched in the CAPES Databank. The analyses revealed 53 works on International Comparative Education. This material was divided according to the topics they presented and a group of 11 dissertations and thesis on educational systems and policies was obtained. These works were analyzed according to the following categories: a) modernization and development; b) the hole of multilateral agencies/autonomy; c) educational system s reforms; d) homogeneity/diversity; e) the hole attributed to the indicators. The results show that although some of these works contain certain characteristics that are typical of the conceptions presented by multilateral agencies, the majority of them is critical and denounces the hegemonic patterns established by developed countries and that are imposed to the developing countries, based on uniform diagnosis performed by multilateral agencies. / A intensificação do processo de globalização, o enfraquecimento dos limites dos Estados nacionais com o surgimento dos grandes blocos de países e o advento das tecnologias da informação proporcionaram um intercâmbio crescente entre os países e deram novo alento aos estudos comparativos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o que tem sido realizado no Brasil, na forma de dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado, nas duas últimas décadas, na área de Educação Comparada Internacional. Nosso problema de pesquisa partia da necessidade de compreender se as pesquisas na área de Educação Comparada no Brasil têm sido realizadas segundo padrões, procedimentos e perspectivas indicados pelos organismos multilaterais ou, inversamente, se o que tem sido produzido academicamente tem se constituído como uma crítica às ações que legitimam as políticas educacionais implantadas no Brasil sob a influência das agências multilaterais. A pesquisa buscou no Banco de Dados da CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior) um conjunto de 37 palavras-chave relacionadas à Educação Comparada. A análise efetuada apontou um total de 53 dissertações e teses que fazem estudos comparativos internacionais na área da educação. Estes trabalhos foram agrupados de acordo com a temática abordada e obtivemos um grupo de 11 trabalhos que analisam sistemas e políticas educacionais. Estes trabalhos foram analisados de acordo com as seguintes categorias: a)desenvolvimento e modernização; b)papel das agências multilaterais/autonomia; c)reforma dos sistemas educacionais; d)homogeneização/diversidade; e)papel atribuído aos indicadores. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que embora alguns desses trabalhos apresentem matizes característicos das concepções apresentadas pelas agências multilaterais, a maioria deles é crítica e denuncia os modelos hegemônicos estabelecidos pelos países desenvolvidos e que são impostos aos países em desenvolvimento, a partir de diagnósticos uniformizadores realizados pelas agências multilaterais.

A pesquisa tem por objetivo discutir comparativamente a organização curricular da bioquímica em cursos interdisciplinares de licenciatura que habilitem para docência em biologia no ensino médio de duas universidades federais brasileiras. Trata-se de investigação qualitativa, pautada nos pressupostos da educação comparada, guiada pelas fases: descritiva; explicativa; justapositiva; comparativa. Para tanto, foram utilizados os seguintes procedimentos metodológicos: análises bibliográfica e documental. O estudo apresenta uma contextualização dos condicionantes pedagógicos da formação de professores de biologia no Brasil, considerando, para tanto, os aspectos históricos, culturais, sociais e políticos da criação dos cursos e os aspectos da inserção da bioquímica nestes cursos, considerando marcos e trajetórias da educação em bioquímica, bem como seus aspectos conceituais e epistemológicos. Apresenta também uma caracterização dos arranjos curriculares das universidades Unila e UFABC, bem como uma análise de seus planos de desenvolvimento institucional e projeto pedagógico de cursos. Observou-se que o aspecto interdisciplinar promovido pelos cursos ainda supõe uma relação de disciplinaridade e que a flexibilização do currículo acaba perpetuando suas principais deficiências, como pudemos pressupor para o ensino de bioquímica, que está timidamente presente na organização curricular, permitindo-se questionar se há um aprofundamento dos saberes específicos ensinados. Ainda, embora haja uma preocupação com as questões das sociedades contemporâneas, as disciplinas que trabalham conteúdos de bioquímica não apresentam ementas que contemplem questões sociocientíficas nos cursos investigados. / The present dissertation is constituted from the following research problem: How is Biochemistry training structured in the curricular organization of Biology teacher training courses that present an interdisciplinary proposal? The research aims to comparatively discuss the curricular organization of biochemistry in interdisciplinary undergraduate courses that qualifies for biology teaching in the high school of two Brazilian federal universities. This is qualitative research, based on the assumptions of comparative education, guided by the phases: descriptive; explanatory; juxtaposition; comparative study. For this purpose, the following methodological procedures were used: bibliographical and documentary analysis. The present study presents a contextualization of the pedagogical conditioning factors of the training of biology teachers in Brazil, considering the historical, cultural, social and political aspects of the creation of the courses and the aspects of the insertion of biochemistry in these courses, considering the milestones and trajectories of education in biochemistry, as well as its conceptual and epistemological aspects. It also presents a characterization of the curricular arrangements of Unila and UFABC universities, as well as an analysis of their institutional development plans and pedagogical course design. It was observed that the interdisciplinary aspect promoted by the courses still suppose a relation of disciplinarity and that the flexibility of the curriculum ends up perpetuating its main deficiencies, as we could assume for the teaching of biochemistry, that is timidly present in the curricular organization, allowing to question if there is a deepening of the specific knowledge taught. Also, although there is a concern with the questions of contemporary societies, the disciplines that work in biochemistry contents do not present menus that contemplate socio-scientific questions in the courses investigated.

abstract: This study investigated the current state of the U.S. and Chinese urban middle school math teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for the topic of functions. A comparative, descriptive case study was employed to capture the PCK of 23 teachers in Arizona and of 28 teachers in Beijing, regarding their instructional knowledge, understanding of student thinking and curricular knowledge--three key components based on Shulman's conceptualization of PCK--related to functions. Cross-case comparisons were used to analyze the PCK of teacher groups across countries and socio-economic statuses (SES), based on the questionnaire, lesson plan, and interview data. This study finds that despite cultural differences, teachers are likely to share some commonalities with respect to their instructional decisions, understanding of student thinking and curricular knowledge. These similarities may reflect the convergence in teaching practice in the U.S. and China and the dedication the two countries make in improving math education. This study also finds the cross-country differences and cross-SES differences regarding teachers' PCK. On the one hand, the U.S. and Chinese math teachers of this study tend to diverge in valuing different forms of representations, explaining student misconceptions, and relating functions to other math topics. Teachers' own understanding of functions (and mathematics), standards, and high-stakes testing in each country significantly influence their PCK. On the other hand, teachers from the higher SES schools are more likely to show higher expectations for and stronger confidence in their students' mathematical skills compared to their counterparts from the lower SES schools. Teachers' differential beliefs in students' ability levels significantly contribute to their differences between socio-economic statuses. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Educational Leadership and Policy Studies 2014

Em escolas internacionais de São Paulo, currículos e metodologias de ensino internacionais e transnacionais são utilizadas. Em Matemática, estas escolas ensinam, por exemplo, um algoritmo para divisão que não é normalmente utilizados no sistema educacional brasileiro. Como a maioria dos alunos destas escolas são brasileiros, isto é caracterizado como educational borrowing. No entanto, ao estudar alguns destes elementos não tradicionais na cultura escolar brasileira, percebemos que suas origens não são facilmente identificáveis. Com a intensificação da globalização nas últimas décadas, influências estrangeiras têm se tornado mais complexas. No caso de alguns métodos, em face das dificuldades em estabelecer o país emprestador, se faz necessário complementar as teorias da Educação Comparada para que pesquisadores possam utilizar tais subsídios teóricos e entender o fenômeno com coerência. Complementos que são obtidos à luz da Antropologia, especificamente através da teoria de antropólogos como Michel de Certeau, que nos ajuda a melhor compreender a maneira com que os alunos individualizam estes produtos da educação internacional. A seguir, de volta ao domínio da Educação Comparada, os modelos típicos ideais de Brian Holmes podem auxiliar na decisão sobre o que pode ser copiado de um sistema educacional e as prováveis consequências destas ações. Ao fim da pesquisa, conclui-se que de fato os consumidores da educação internacional aqui mencionada nem sempre tomam posse deste produto conforme o anunciado pelos seus produtores. / At international schools in São Paulo, international and transnational curricula and methodology are utilized. In mathematics, these schools teach, for instance, an algorithm for division that is not normally adopted in the Brazilian educational system. Since the majority of the students of these schools are Brazilian, this is identified as educational borrowing. However, as we study some of these non-traditional elements in the Brazilian School Culture, we realize that their origins are not easily determined. With the intensification of the globalization during the last decades, foreigner influences have become more complex. It is hard to determine the lender country in the case of some methods and because of these difficulties it is necessary to complement the theories of Compared Education so that the researchers can make use of such theoretical resources and understand the phenomenon with coherence. Such complements are obtained in the light of the anthropology, specifically through the theory of anthropologists such as Michel de Certeau, who help us to better understand the way students individualize these products of the international education. Then, going back to the grounds of Compared Education, the ideal typical models of Brian Holmes can give us aid to decide what can and what can not be copied from other educational systems and the possible consequences of such actions. At the end of this research, it is concluded that in fact the consumers of the international education mentioned here not always take poss of it according to what is announced by its producers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the learning experience of Chinese hospitality students in a 4-year program at a U.S. institution in order to bridge the gap between Chinese and American education. This study could challenge traditional education and produce more culturally savvy and diverse graduates, in a field as personal and interactive as Hospitality Management, it could also help American students who want to study, work or teach in China, as they would be knowledgeable of the cultural and educational differences. This study used a qualitative approach. The researcher conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with Chinese hospitality students in a 4-year program at a U.S. institution based on the research questions presented regarding the perceived differences in learning experiences of Chinese Hospitality students. Findings of this study could have implications for the hospitality industry and more importantly the way hospitality education is being taught in a 4-year program at a U.S. institution.

To be successful and be effective in teaching, one must be familiar with a variety of methods in instruction and teaching strategies. This also includes becoming aware of any challenges that student and teachers might confront at all levels. Advanced-level piano students, such as those who are at the collegiate level, study the masterpieces of the great composers. However, they may still be in need of developing certain technical and musical skills which should have been covered at the late intermediate level. This study focuses both on exercises and on late intermediate-level repertoire. This study examined the methodical approaches of Russian technical school primarily through the exercises of Theodor Leschetizky, Isabelle Vengerova, and Heinrich Neuhaus and compared these exercises with passages from appropriate great literature suitable for late intermediate-level students. This may not only in preparing for more advanced piano repertoire but also broadening general piano techniques. All together, this may further promote in prevention of musical problems that might occur at a more advanced-level of piano study.This study focuses both on exercises and on late intermediate-level repertoire.

The major purpose of this research study is contrived to determine and evaluate the historical backgrounds of Nigeria and the United States and its implications in the educational policies and systems of the two nations. Both these countries had their humble beginning under the British colonial administration.

The need for preparing our youth to live in an interdependent world on this finite planet has become urgent since the beginning of the nuclear age at the end of World War II. There is a need to extend the loyalty of the citizen tor the nation-state to human needs seen from a global view. The involvement of the United States in the international community already is extensive because of its predominant power. This involvement is not reflected in our education, either from the amount of time devoted to social studies in our schools or in the emphasis on international relations in that curriculum. To achieve the global view which our changing society demands it is suggested that some unifying concepts be chosen which cross the various social science disciplines namely, the concepts of change (both violent and non-violent), conflict, authority or power, order, freedom and responsibility. These concepts enable the teacher, using a problem-solving approach, to raise questions which make values explicit, and provide flexibility in subject matter and range of student ability. In a global context, the following specific goals would be encouraged: overcome ethnocentrism, recognize the diversity of faces that the U.S. presents to the world, seek a transnational view based on human rights, emphasize the problem rather than the institution, and seek foreign points of view in source materials. During the 1960s there have been 80me innovations in both subject matter and method in teaching social studies, ranging from entire school systems to single schools and classes, and there are a number of new curricula materials coming out of projects funded by both government and private sources. This thesis has l.dent1tied a number of these with the idea that the teacher who is interested in presenting a global orientation now has a growing number of tools to choose from. He need not wait to construct a new curriculum but can supplement and reorient his approach in his own classroom. However, this implies that the teacher baa a global view already. Opportunities for foreign studies are becoming widespread and, hopefully, more and more teachers will feel they are an essential part of their preparation. Unfortunately, there is very little course preparation for the global view at the college level, where the largest proportion of teachers will develop.-or not develop--an international awareness. The community at the state or local level can often be of considerable help in encouraging this kind of experience for its teachers. It is probable that the more activist role of today’s student has been a factor in the trend toward using the inquiry, or discovery, method in the classroom. Certainly, this method has the advantage, for a global view, of using concepts which' can present controversial subject matter in an open-ended way. It uses the techniques of a scientific approach and enables the social studies to introduce more social science findings of current global concern. Discussion of values becomes an essential element. Such discussion begins with the student's experience, and by exposing him to a clash of personal beliefs there is evidence that motivation is increased and a possible shift in attitudes occurs. The teacher who aims to teach from a global viewpoint will need help, both in keeping abreast of the current curricula and in having available the most recent findings of social science and educational research which could affect the attitudes of his students. In particular, the area of conflict studies has potential for resolving international problems. The teacher, thus, has a key role in preparing future citizens to meet the changes of a global society.

The purpose of this study of the epistemology of John Amos Comenius was to discover and make clear the philosophical basis for his pedagogical ideas. It was encouraged by Dr. Dagmar Capkova of the Comenius Institute in Prague who pointed to a limitation of Comenian studies in United States schools, i.e., the study of his ideas apart from their philosophical basis.
