The diploma work is devided into two parts, theoretical and practical one. Theoretical part concerns about defining of terms such as motivation, seniors and leisure time of them, style of their leisure time. It is aimed at trainig of memory with seniors as well. This part takes knowledge from the books and connects these topics. Practical part connects to theoretical one and applies it to use. The topic of project is Handicrafts and profession and through momories tries to motivate to creative activities. Though it there is improvement of memory, creativity, fantasy, flexibility of hand and social contact too.

The purpose of this essay, with the title “Is “fine” fine? About educator’s approach towards tothe visual creative activities of preschool children”, is to analyze how us preschool educator’s approach to the visual creative activities of preschool children and why we relate to them in acertain way or why we use a certain linguistic expression, when we comment on children’s visual creative activities. Part of the purpose is also to reflect about how this controls the occupation. That is why I take the starting point in discourse theory. I ask the questions what discources form the educator’s ideas and what ideas form the educator’s respective discourses and what is the background to the usage or avoiding of a specific linguistic expression. As both play and learning are prominent in the preschool world and also can be related to visual creative activities, I also relate to theory of play in this essay. As a background in the text andas a help to understand the reason in different views of art or creative activities, I also refer to certain theories of art. From this I try to distinguish tendencies in the approach amongst educators. I reached the conclusion that there is an ambivalence around different approaches and also that the curriculum is ambiguous, which according to my opinion with advantage could lead to an increased collegial reflection regarding linguistic expressions and the irmeaning. From the interviews and my observations, there is a consciousness surrounding accepted expressions and treatment but no deeper reflection around why it is accepted or not accepted to express oneself in one way or another. / Syftet med denna essä, som bär titeln ”Är ”fint” fint? Om pedagogers förhållningssätt gentemot barns bildskapande”, är att undersöka hur vi pedagoger i förskolan förhåller oss till förskolebarns bildskapande och varför vi intar en viss hållning eller använder ett visst språkligt uttryck, när vi kommenterar barns bildskapande. En del av syftet är även att reflektera kring hur detta styr verksamheten, varför jag tar avstamp i diskursteori. Jag ställer frågorna, vilka diskurser som formar pedagogers föreställningar och vilka föreställningar som formar pedagogers respektive diskurser samt vad som är bakgrunden till bruket eller undvikandet av ett specifikt språkligt uttryck. Eftersom både leken och lärandet är framträdande i förskolans värld och även kan förknippas med bildskapande, förhåller jag mig i den här texten även till lekteori. Som en bakgrund i texten och som hjälp att förstå orsaken till sätt att se på bildskapande och konst på olika sätt, berör jag även vissa konstteorier. Jag försöker utifrån detta samt diskursteorin, intervjuer med informanter samt gestaltningar av egna erfarenheter, urskilja tendenser i förhållningssättet hos pedagoger. Jag kom fram till att det finns en ambivalens kring olika förhållningssätt samt att läroplanen är mångtydig, vilket enligt min mening med fördel skulle kunna leda till ökad kollegial reflektion kring språkliga uttryck och dess innebörder. Det råder, utifrån intervjuerna och mina iakttagelser, en medvetenhet kring vilka uttryck eller bemötanden som är gångbara men inte djuparereflektion kring varför det är accepterat, respektive inte accepterat att uttrycka sig på det ena eller det andra sättet.

The purpose of this paper is primarily that of determining what recreational needs exist today, what social changes have occurred to bring about these needs, what unit of society is most capable of taking the lead in meeting these needs, and what procedures may be adopted for meeting them. An interest in this subject has stemmed from observation of two main factors: (1) The existence of inadequate programs for meeting recreational needs in schools with which the writer has been associated, and (2) General indifference to or ignorance of the importance of educating for worthwhile use of leisure time. / "A Paper." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Virgil E.

Os princípios básicos na educação ambiental como as ações de sensibilização, compreensão e responsabilidade, tornam-se cada vez mais necessários para possibilitar reflexões sobre práticas cotidianas em prol da melhoria geral da qualidade de vida. Neste aspecto, a temática de resíduos sólidos inserida na educação ambiental pode representar uma valiosa contribuição para despertar a comunidade. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo sensibilizar alunos de ensino fundamental de escolas municipais de Campo Magro – PR, sobre a importância da segregação e destinação correta de resíduos sólidos urbanos. Após a realização de entrevista com diretores e de diagnóstico dos ambientes das nove escolas municipais, foram definidas duas escolas para dar continuidade ao trabalho. Foi elaborado e aplicado um questionário para os alunos do 4º e 5º anos das escolas para avaliar as concepções e atitudes em relação à temática dos resíduos sólidos, ainda no mesmo dia foi solicitado a eles que realizassem uma representação (desenho) sobre o tema “lixo”. Através de análises destes instrumentos pôde-se fazer algumas considerações sobre o entendimento que os alunos têm da temática proposta, e traçar estratégias de educação ambiental de forma lúdica, como rodas de conversas e plantio de árvores, envolvendo as turmas de 4º e 5º anos. Também foram realizadas atividades de educação ambiental com os alunos dos 1°, 2° e 3° anos de ambas as escolas, além de diálogos com funcionários de limpeza, professores e os pais dos alunos. Após esta etapa, foram desenvolvidas e aplicadas atividades envolvendo as duas escolas, como confecções de cartazes (desenhos e frases) e de brinquedos, utilizando material reciclável. Todo o material produzido foi exposto nas escolas em um evento denominado “Reciclando Ideias”. No desenvolvimento das estratégias notou-se curiosidade e empenho bem como, trabalho e cooperação entre equipes. Em diálogo com os alunos, os mesmos opinavam de forma positiva sobre a continuidade das estratégias em outros momentos, mostrando interesse pelo assunto proposto e pela forma com que estávamos realizando o trabalho. Durante a realização dessas atividades pôde ser notado o envolvimento da comunidade escolar referente a questões ambientais em ambas as escolas, sendo relevante destacar a participação dos professores que sempre junto com seus alunos participaram e colaboraram para as atividades. Através desse projeto, pode ser confirmado que a temática ambiental para as séries iniciais da educação básica, deve ser trabalhada através de atividades diferenciadas e envolvendo alunos, professores, corpo técnico e a comunidade onde residem os alunos, pois somente com a ação dos multiplicadores ambientais é que será possível haver mudanças no cenário em que o meio ambiente encontra-se hoje. / The basic principles in environmental education as awareness, understanding and responsibility become actions are increasingly necessary to provide reflections on everyday practices on overall quality of life. In this regard, solid waste topic insertion in environmental education may represent a valuable contribution to awaken the community. The present study aimed to sensitize primary school students of municipal schools in Campo Magro - PR, of segregation and proper disposal of solid waste importance. After conducting interviews with directors and diagnostic environments of the nine public schools, two schools were established to continue the work. A questionnaire was elaborated and applied to students in 4th and 5th years of schools to assess views and attitudes towards solid waste topic, and they was prompted to stage a representation (drawing) on the topic "junk" on the same day. Through analysis of these instruments it was possible to make some considerations on the understanding that students have of the proposed topic, and design strategies for environmental education in a playful way, like wheels conversations and planting trees, involving groups of 4 and 5 years. Environmental education activities with students of 1st, 2nd and 3rd years of both schools were also performed, as well as dialogues with cleaning staff, teachers and parents of students. After this step, were developed and applied activities involving the two schools, as clothing, posters (drawings and phrases) and toys, using recyclable material. All material produced was exposed in schools in an event called "Recycling Ideas". The development of strategies was noted curiosity and commitment as well as work and cooperation between teams. In dialogue with the students, they opined positively about the continuity of the strategies at other times, showing interest in the proposed issue and by the way we were doing the work. While performing these activities could be noted the involvement of the school community regarding environmental issues at both schools, being relevant to highlight the participation of teachers who always together with their students participated and contributed to the activities. Through this project, it can be confirmed that the environmental issue in the early grades of elementary education, must be worked through differentiated activities and involving students, teachers, staff and community where students reside, because only with the action of environmental multipliers is that current environment scenario can be changed.

My final thesis describes ways of development of cultural properity, trainings of mind and possibilities of motivation in frame pedagogy free time specialized on a Primary School. Theoretical part contains and explains terms culture, palate (taste), elegance, arts, motivation and free time. Also specify primary school education, creative discourse, in this period and shows the use plastic art in public nursery like one of the key options of spending free time. Practical part focus on a project of plastic arts divided into creative activities realized in the public nursery of the pupils of primary school. Each activity containt detailed motivation, described procedure, conclusion and evaluation of children. This part contains also relationships and dependences between all cultural subjects such as arts, dramatization, music, and gymnastics. Explain as well the structure, application for needs of primary school. Particularity of the work of children in the age of primary school is creativity, spontaneity, unprompted action, enthusiasm, positive stance. When the children are properly instructed they cooperate with their equal, tolerate them and are very help full to each other.

The impetus for this study came from the findings of an evaluation of a Maths and Science through Arts and Culture (MStAC) Curriculum Intervention undertaken with Grade R teachers registered for a BEd(in-service) qualification at Rhodes University, South Africa. The intervention aimed to enrich Grade R teachers’ teaching of mathematics. Post-intervention classroom observations showed that, in spite of the intervention, teachers’ classroom practices did not change, and they were not using visual arts to teach mathematical concepts. This, together with the lack of research in the field of mathematics in early childhood, particularly in South Africa, motivated this research, a case study, which investigates how visual arts can be used to teach space and shape conceptualization in Grade R. I designed a research intervention underpinned by a constructivist model of teacher professional development located in reflective practice (Borko & Putman, 1995; Zeichner & Liston, 1996; Wilmot, 2005). Guided by Stacey’s (2009) notion of an emergent curriculum, I designed a three phase research intervention which involved selected Grade R teachers undertaking classroom-based research. Phase I built awareness around the notion of creativity; Phase II focused on making meaning of children’s behaviour and interests; and Phase III applied the knowledge and ideas from the Phases I and II to the teaching of space and shape. As an interpretive research study, it closely examines the participating teachers’ perceptions, experiences and reflections which were articulated in reflective reports and assignments. Following action research processes, the participant teachers engaged in the process of an emergent curriculum. They observed the behaviour interests of Grade R children, interpreted and made meaning of the evident behaviours, made decisions regarding extension activities, and planned accordingly. The findings of the study illuminate a model of teacher professional development that can support and enhance teachers’ practice. Understanding the notion of creativity and the ability to create a classroom conducive to creativity, are necessary components for teaching space and shape through visual arts activities. An emergent curriculum approach is proposed as an appropriate pedagogy for teaching children about space and shape through visual arts activities.

Text in Afrikaans / Summaries in Afrikaans and English / The supposition exists that the Transvaal Education Department's Senior Primary Class Music syllabus is not being implemented in all aspects and that this is connected to teacher training. An empirical investigation was launched using three questionnaires and a classroom field study. Two questionnaires, completed by Class Music teachers, were used to assess to what extent the school syllabus was being followed. Teachers also had to provide information about their training in Class Music teaching. The third questionnaire offered a structured interview with school principals. The actualisation of Class Music, extra curricular music activities, the role of the teacher and teacher training were examined. Lessons for standard two pupils at twenty schools, were presented for an in-depth investigation. The results were tabulated, summarised in bar graphs and interpretations rendered. According to the findings, recommendations with regard to curriculum, the implementation of the syllabus, and tertiary Class Music training were made. / Daar is vermoed dat die seniorprimere Klasmusieksillabus van die Transvaalse Onderwysdepartement gedeeltelik gelmplementeer word en dat df t verband hou met onderwysersopleiding. In die lig hiervan is 'n empiriese ondersoek geloods deur middel van drie vraelyste en deur veldwerk. In die twee vraelyste wat deur Klasmusiekonderwysers voltooi is, is nagevors in watter mate die skoolsillabus gelmplementeer word. Verder het die onderwysers hulle Klasmusiekopleiding in hierdie verband aangetoon. Die derde vraelys vorm die raamwerk vir 'n gestruktureerde onderhoud met skoolhoofde. Die realisering van Klasmusiek, buite-kurrikulere musiekaktiwiteit en die rol van die onderwyser en onderwysopleiding is nagegaan. In 'n diepte-ondersoek is lesse by twintig skole vir standerdtweeleerlinge aangebied. Die resultate word in tabelle uiteengesit en in staafdiagramme saamgevat, terwyl waarnemings weergegee word. Op grondhiervan word aanbevelings gemaak oor kurrikulering, sillabusimplementering en tersiere Klasmusiekopleiding. / Art History, Visual Arts & Musicology / M.Mus

No. of bitstreams: 1 Karen Ambra.pdf: 3522031 bytes, checksum: 2af655ed53277c5da95825cc304ed5b1 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-05-22 / Fundação São Paulo - FUNDASP / ChIPPA, on the play of “make-believe”, are perceived as pedagogically relevant to Early Childhood Education. For this purpose, twelve children, attending this level of education, participated in the study, as well as four teachers who worked there, in this level of education, and one primary school literacy teacher, all of them from a private school, located in the south of São Paulo (SP), Brazil. The literature review showed that play is a difficult concept to define, still seen in the daily school life as a natural phenomenon. It has also been demonstrated that, on the contrary, it has a social character, which is why it should be understood as a child right and, thus, intentionally implemented in schools too. The theoretical perspective adopted was Socio-historical Psychology, especially the Vygotskian concepts that deal with the relations of learning and development, of language and thought, of meanings and significance, of mediation and zone of proximal development, and the role of play in the child development. The method consisted in the application of the Children's Initiated Assessment Tool (ChiPPA) to the participating children and the use of two questionnaires, addressed to the teachers: one focused on their initial ideas about playing and their presence in the daily life of the Early Childhood Education, and another, after having made available the information on the ways of playing of each child, to verify if this data could guide the teaching planning and improve the educational practices. The results show that the ChIPPA can guide the elaboration of pedagogical objectives, since they indicate the different levels of abilities of the children in “make-believe” play. In addition, the teaching discourses that initially defended the play, but did not implement it in the quantity and quality expected in the daily school life, pointed out that, knowing the children's abilities in the games proposed, new pedagogical perspectives were unveiled, that is, the need to extend the frequency of play and its duration; to propose situations of “make-believe” play and symbolic play, and also to analyze carefully the play to, based on this, propose better planned pedagogical interventions. It was suggested that ChIPPA is an important tool for teachers in the service of learning and child development / Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar se (e como) os dados oferecidos pelo ChIPPA, sobre a brincadeira de faz de conta da criança, são percebidos como pedagogicamente relevantes para a Educação Infantil. Para tanto, participaram do estudo doze crianças que frequentavam este nível de ensino, quatro professoras que nele atuavam e uma alfabetizadora do 1º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola particular, situada na zona sul da cidade de São Paulo (SP), Brasil. A revisão de literatura mostrou que a brincadeira é um conceito de difícil definição, visto ainda no cotidiano escolar como um fenômeno natural. Foi também demonstrado que, ao contrário, ela possui caráter social, razão pela qual deve ser entendida como um direito infantil e, deste modo, implementada intencionalmente também nas escolas. A perspectiva teórica adotada foi a Psicologia Sócio-histórica, em especial os conceitos vigotskianos que tratam das relações da aprendizagem com o desenvolvimento, da linguagem com o pensamento, de sentidos e significados, de mediação e zona de desenvolvimento proximal e o papel da brincadeira no desenvolvimento infantil. O método consistiu na aplicação do Instrumento de Avaliação do Faz de Conta Iniciado pela Criança (ChiPPA) junto às crianças participantes e no emprego de dois questionários, dirigidos às professoras: um voltado às suas ideias iniciais sobre o brincar e a presença dele no cotidiano da Educação Infantil e, outro, após ter disponibilizado as informações sobre as formas de brincar de cada criança, para verificar se estes dados poderiam orientar o planejamento docente e aprimorar as práticas educativas. Os resultados mostram que o ChIPPA pode orientar a elaboração de objetivos pedagógicos, por indicarem os diferentes níveis de habilidades das crianças no brincar de faz de conta. Adicionalmente, os discursos docentes que defendiam inicialmente o brincar, mas sem o implementar na quantidade e qualidade esperada no cotidiano escolar, apontaram que, conhecidas as habilidades das crianças nas brincadeiras propostas, novas perspectivas pedagógicas foram descortinadas, ou seja, a necessidade de ampliar a frequência das brincadeiras e seu tempo de duração; de propor situações de faz de conta em torno do brincar convencional e do brincar simbólico e, também, de analisar criteriosamente a brincadeira para, com base nisso, propor intervenções pedagógicas mais bem planejadas. Sugeriu-se, portanto, que o ChIPPA constitui uma importante ferramenta para as professoras, a serviço da aprendizagem e do desenvolvimento infantil
