Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This study presented the job category in the training process as an object, given the job statute entrusted to the Social Work from the curriculum reform of the 1990s. This proposal of to understand Social Work as a job is inserted into the last curriculum reform and, since then, it thickens the tone of a debate that supposes the discussion about the own ontological foundations of the job. The incorporation of the job category in the Curriculum Guidelines for the course of Social Work organized, anchored in Marxist foundations, professional practice as a work process that consists of the job object or raw material, by the working tools and the work itself. This new conception intended to reach new paths to social work, discussing its socio-historical registration and social significance of the profession. From this perspective, this study aimed to analyze the understanding of students of classroom courses of Social Work for Higher Education Institutions (HEI) of Sergipe about the job category, aiming to reveal the importance of this appropriation into vocational training. Therefore, it was necessary: to point out the main issues that base the discussion of curriculum reform to the relationship Social Work/job; to understand the ontological foundations of the work in Marxist theoretical and methodological matrix; to analyze the educational projects of classroom courses of Social Work of HEI in Sergipe, the menus and the lesson plans of the subjects that discuss the job category; and to identify the profile of conclusive students of classroom courses of Social Work in Sergipe. The research is characterized as qualitative, of exploratory character, guided by the critical perspective of materialism, historical and dialectical. Bibliographic, documentary and field researches were done, and it was used as a data collection instrument the semi-structured interview. The universe was composed by 86 students from two conclusive classes of HEI, characterized as empirical field and the sample reached 20 female students of the classes of 2014/2 – ten students from each HEI. As a result of the study, it was observed that even with the guarantee of the debate about the job category in the pedagogical project of the courses and its particularity in some subjects, the interviewees didn‟t show deepening on the debate proposed by the curriculum guidelines, even when inserting in training camps, signaling in some aspects conceptual inaccuracies, which denote that academic training has not led to the exhaustion of the debate in order to clarify its meaning. Therefore, it is essential to claim the work as structure of academic qualification, so that the debate is not restricted to specific subjects, contemplate all training and enable the appropriation of the debate said to Social Work, given its importance for qualification and professional practice. / O estudo em tela apresentou como objeto a categoria trabalho no processo de formação profissional, dado o estatuto de trabalho confiado ao Serviço Social a partir da reforma curricular da década de 1990. Esta proposta de compreender o Serviço Social como trabalho é inserida na última reforma curricular e, desde então, adensa o tônus de uma polêmica que supõe a discussão sobre os próprios fundamentos ontológicos do trabalho. A incorporação da categoria trabalho nas Diretrizes Curriculares para o curso de Serviço Social organizou, ancorada nos fundamentos marxianos, o exercício profissional como processo de trabalho constituído pelo objeto de trabalho ou matéria prima, pelos instrumentos de trabalho e o próprio trabalho. Essa nova concepção pretendia alçar novos rumos ao Serviço Social, problematizando a sua inscrição sócio-histórica e significação social da profissão. Nessa perspectiva, objetivou-se analisar a compreensão de discentes de cursos presenciais de Serviço Social de Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) de Sergipe acerca da categoria trabalho, visando desvelar a importância dessa apropriação na formação profissional. Para tanto, tornou-se necessário: apontar as principais questões que fundamentam no debate da reforma curricular a relação Serviço Social/trabalho; compreender os fundamentos ontológicos do trabalho na matriz teórico-metodológica marxista; analisar os projetos pedagógicos de cursos presenciais de Serviço Social das IES em Sergipe, as ementas e os planos de aula das disciplinas que discutem a categoria trabalho; e identificar o perfil dos discentes concludentes de cursos presenciais de Serviço Social em Sergipe. A pesquisa caracterizou-se como qualitativa de caráter exploratório, orientada pela perspectiva crítica do materialismo-histórico-dialético. Foram realizadas pesquisas bibliográfica, documental e de campo, e utilizado como instrumento de coleta de dados a entrevista semiestruturada. O universo foi composto por 86 estudantes concludentes de duas IES, caracterizando-se como campo empírico e a amostra atingiu 20 discentes do sexo feminino das turmas de 2014/2 – dez discentes de cada IES. Como resultado do estudo foi observado que mesmo com a garantia do debate sobre a categoria trabalho no projeto pedagógico dos cursos e sua particularidade em algumas disciplinas, as entrevistadas não demonstram aprofundamento do debate proposto nas diretrizes curriculares, mesmo quando da inserção em campos de estágio, sinalizando em alguns aspectos imprecisões conceituais, o que denota que a formação acadêmica não propiciou o esgotamento do debate, de forma a esclarecer o seu significado. Diante disso, torna-se fundamental a afirmação do trabalho como eixo estruturante da formação acadêmica, de forma que o debate não se restrinja às disciplinas específicas, contemple a totalidade da formação e possibilite a apropriação do debate posto ao Serviço Social, dada a sua importância para a formação e o exercício profissional.

The field research took place at state school unit in São Paulo state capital that serves only the ciclo II of Ensino Fundamental. Semi-structured interview were held with five Portuguese teachers and with the pedagogical coordinator along with non-structured observations of HTPCs and informal moments at the teachers room. At first we approach the different steps of the curriculum development as proposed by Sacristán (2000) and adopted in the theoretical and methodological course of this work because it considers the political, social, economical, cultural and administrative dimensions in the prescribed curriculum elaboration and it includes its presentation to the school agents, its re-signification and modeling by them until it is presented as active curriculum in teaching practices, always mediated by school conditioners. After that, we discuss the Curricular Proposal of São Paulo faz escola based on its documents, its implementation mechanisms and theoretical principles and fundaments expressed in it. The Portuguese Curricular Proposal elaborated by the SEE-SP and Teaching Plans made by the investigated school s teachers are presented with the purpose of identifying convergences and divergences from the prescribed curriculum. From the characterization of that school unit as the context of the teaching practice, in the third part of this paper, we analyzed this reform control mechanisms and the Portuguese teachers comprehension about the theoretical fundament of the Curricular Proposal based on the teachers and pedagogical coordinator reports, under the categories of appropriation and objectification and continuities e changes. / A apropriação da Proposta Curricular do programa São Paulo faz escola na prática escolar dos professores da disciplina de Língua Portuguesa é o foco da análise desta pesquisa que tem como objetivo apreender qual a compreensão daqueles professores acerca dos princípios e fundamentos norteadores da Proposta Curricular e identificar mudanças na sua prática docente advindas da implementação do referido programa. A pesquisa de campo se deu em uma unidade escolar da rede estadual na capital paulista que atende apenas o ciclo II do Ensino Fundamental. Realizamos entrevistas semi-estruturadas com cinco professores da disciplina de Língua Portuguesa e com o coordenador pedagógico, além de observações não-estruturadas dos HTPCs e dos momentos informais na sala dos professores. Em um primeiro momento, abordamos a delimitação das diferentes etapas do processo de desenvolvimento do currículo, propostas por Sacristán (2000) e adotadas no percurso teórico-metodológico desta pesquisa, por considerar as dimensões política, social, econômica, cultural e administrativa da elaboração do currículo prescrito, incluir a apresentação deste aos agentes escolares, sua ressignificação e modelação pelos professores, até se apresentar como currículo em ação na prática docente, sempre mediado por condicionamentos escolares. A seguir, discutimos o programa São Paulo faz escola a partir de seus documentos, seus mecanismos de implementação e controle e dos princípios e fundamentos teóricos que este expressa. Apresentamos a Proposta Curricular de Língua Portuguesa elaborada pela SEE-SP, bem como os Planos de Ensino desta disciplina confeccionados pelos professores da escola pesquisada, buscando as convergências e divergências com o currículo prescrito. Partindo da caracterização da unidade escolar como contexto das práticas docentes, no terceiro momento, analisamos os mecanismos de controle da reforma e a compreensão dos professores de Língua Portuguesa dos fundamentos teóricos da proposta curricular, segundo as falas dos professores e do coordenador pedagógico, à luz das categorias apropriação e objetivação e continuidades e mudanças.

The PROEJA constitutes an educational policy directed to the care of young people and adults. Through the proposal of the integrated curriculum, it articulates Basic Education, Professional Education and Education of Youths and Adults, in the perspective of expanding schooling. The objective was to understand, from the perception of managers and teachers, the context and difficulties encountered in the implementation process of the Program between 2007 and 2017. The research, with a qualitative approach, used different methodological procedures, such as bibliographic review of authors that base the debate on EJA, integrated curriculum and Professional Education; reading and analysis of documents and legislation that guides PROEJA; semi-structured interviews with managers and teachers, systematized based on Content Analysis. The data found allow us to infer difficulties in the process of implementing PROEJA in aspects such as a training of professionals, an understanding of the specificities of the students, as well as the knowledge of the effectiveness of the integrated curriculum and the insertion of students in the institution. Thus, although the IFPI, Campus Picos has been guaranteeing the offer PROEJA since the year 2007 and the presence of the Program on campus is seen positively by the managers and teachers, many aspects of its effectiveness are fragile and need reorientation so that possible. / Esta pesquisa tiene como objeto de estudio el Programa Nacional de Integración de la Educación Profesional con la Educación Básica, en la modalidad de Educación de Jóvenes y Mayores (PROEJA) y su implementación en el IFPI, campus Picos.

Por medio de la propuesta del currículo integrado, articula Educación Básica, Educación Profesional y Educación de Jóvenes y Mayores, en la perspectiva de ampliar la escolarización. El objetivo fue comprender, a partir de la percepción de gestores y profesores, el contexto y las dificultades halladas en el proceso de implementación del Programa entre los años de 2007 y 2017. La pesquisa, de abordaje cualitativa, utilizó distintos procedimientos metodológicos, como revisión de bibliográficas de autores que fundamentan el debate EJA, currículo integrado y Educación Profesional; lectura y análisis de documentos y de la legislación que orienta el PROEJA, encuestas semiestructuradas con gestores y profesores, sistematizadas a partir de la Análisis de Contenido. Los dados hallados permiten inferir dificultades en el proceso de implementación del PROEJA en aspectos como la formación de los profesionales, la comprensión de las especificidades de los alumnos bien como en lo que se refiere a la efectuación de currículo integrado e inserción de los alumnos en la institución. De ese modo, aunque, el IFPI campus Picos venga garantizando la oferta del PROEJA mediano desde el año 2007 y la presencia del Programa en el campus sea vista positiva por los gestores y profesores, muchos aspectos de su efectuación presentan fragilidades y necesitan de reorientación para que sea posible su cumplimiento. / Esta pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo o Programa Nacional de Integração da Educação Profissional com a Educação Básica, na Modalidade de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (PROEJA), e sua implementação no IFPI, campus Picos.

[pt] Esta dissertação de mestrado tem como objetos de estudo o currículo escolar e suas relações com as concepções de escola. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em Queimados, município localizado na Baixada Fluminense do Rio de Janeiro. O objetivo da pesquisa é compreender as concepções de escola a partir das (re)elaborações do currículo escolar realizadas pelos professores, durante o processo de priorização curricular desenvolvido pela Rede municipal de Queimados no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19, no ano de 2021. Foram aplicados questionários com 79 questões fechadas e 3 abertas, respondidos por 48 professores dos anos finais do ensino fundamental que trabalham nessa Rede. Além disso, realizou-se entrevistas semiestruturadas com 16 professores, respondentes dos questionários, para permitir aprofundamentos das análises. As análises realizadas a partir dos dados produzidos foram construídas baseadas na interlocução teórica com os estudos de Tomas Tadeu Silva, Sacristán, Moreira e Candau, acerca do currículo e os estudos de Dubet e Charlot a respeito da escola e de seus objetivos. Os estudos de Nóvoa sobre formação e profissão docente, antes e durante a pandemia, também fizeram parte do arcabouço teórico utilizado. Ao longo da investigação pode-se constatar que as concepções dos professores constituem três dilemas: entre conceber uma teoria tradicional de currículo e ser responsável pela formação de um currículo humanizador; entre defender uma priorização curricular, baseada nas necessidades dos alunos, e a necessidade de dar conta dos conteúdos escolares pré-estabelecidos; entre priorizar ou reduzir os conteúdos, mediante a nova e emergencial realidade imposta pela pandemia de COVID-19. Conclui-se que há uma multiplicidade de justificativas para as escolhas adotadas pelos professores em relação à concepção de currículo e aos objetivos da escola na priorização curricular. Tais escolhas são marcadas pela subjetividade dos professores, a tradição escolar e a influência dos documentos oficiais. Aponta-se que não há consenso entre os professores acerca dos objetivos da escola, o que reverbera na complexidade de se conceituar currículo. / [en] This Master s dissertation has as a goal the study of school curriculum and its relations with the conceptions of school. The research was developed in Queimados, which is a municipality located in Baixada Fluminense – Rio de Janeiro. Moreover, it has the intention of understanding the conceptions of school from the (re)elaboration of the school curriculum made by teachers during the process of the curriculum priorization developed by the Municipal System of Queimados in the context of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the year of 2021. Questionnaires with 79 closed queries and 3 open ones were applied, which were answered by 48 teachers of the Elementary School final years, who work at this Educational System Furthermore, semi-structured interviews with 16 teachers,who answered the querries, were taken in order to allow a deepening in the analyzes.The analyses made from the data produced were created based on the theoretical interlocution with the studies of Silva, Sacristán, Moreira and Candau -regarding the curriculum, the studies of Dubet vand Charlot concerning schooland their objectives. The studies of Nóvoa on the academic education and profession of teachers, before and during the Pandemic, also made part of the theoretical framework used. Along the investigation it is possible to confirm that the conceptions of the teachers compose three dilemmas: between establishing a traditional theory of the curriculum and and being responsible for the elaboration of a humanizing curriculum; between defending the curriculum priorization, basedon the needs of students, and the necessity of coping with the pre-stablished educational contents; between prioritize or reduce the contents, upon the new reality emergency imposed by the COVID-19 Pandemic. It can be concluded that there is a multiplicity of justifications to the choices adoped by teachers in relation to the conception of curriculum and the objectives of school in the curriculum prioritization. Such choices are highlighted by the teachers subjectivity, school tradition and the influence of official documents. It is pointed out that there is noconsensus among teachers concerning the purposes of school, what reverberates in the complexity of conceptualizing a curriculum.

Graphicacy is the fundamental human capability of communicating through still images. Graphicacy has been described as the fourth ace within education, alongside literacy, numeracy and articulacy. However, it has been neglected, both within education and the research field. This thesis investigates graphicacy and students learning, structured around 3 objectives: establishing what graphicacy is and how it is used in the school curriculum; demonstrating the wider significance of design and technology teaching and learning by collecting evidence of the importance of graphicacy across the curriculum; and establishing how the abilities to understand and create images affect students learning. A literature review was conducted focused on three areas. Firstly, identifying the meaning of graphicacy, elements contained within it and relevant prior studies including its use in different subject areas and image use within teaching. This formed the foundations for a new taxonomy of graphicacy. Secondly, the levels of drawing and developmental stages children go through were investigated and the need for further research on children s abilities aged 11 to 14 was identified. The well balanced arguments concerning the nature versus nurture debates are described. Thirdly, the methodology used to measure graphicacy, and map the results to reflect levels of different competencies were reviewed. A naturalistic and often opportunistic approach was followed in this research. The research methodology was based on the analysis of textbooks and later, on research within practice. The research included the development, validation and use of the taxonomy of graphicacy; case studies in Cyprus, the USA and England on identifying graphicacy use across the curriculum; and the creation of continuity and progression descriptors through the analysis of students work. This work covered: rendering, perspective drawing, logo designing, portrait drawing and star profile charts. Research methodologies developed and implemented for conducting co-research and the Delphi studies are also described. Through interviews with experts, the taxonomy was validated as an appropriate research tool to enable the identification of graphicacy use across the curriculum. These research studies identified links between design and technology and all other subject-areas studied. Similar patterns of graphicacy use were identified across 3 schools, one in Cyprus, USA and the UK. Photographs were the most commonly used graphicacy element across all subject areas studied. Design and technology within England was found to use the widest variety of graphicacy elements, providing evidence towards research objective 3; establishing how the ability to understand and create images affects students learning. Continuity and progression (CaP) descriptors were created for each area covered by this research. The success of the CaP descriptors relied on the technical complexity involved in the creation of each image. Some evidence was found concerning the limits of natural development and how nurture can further develop graphicacy skills. In addition, co-research as a methodology, its limitations and potentials are identified.

Curricular decision making is foundational to teachers’ practice—every facet of the instructional process is the result of teachers’ decisions. For new teachers, learning to make curricular decisions that will satisfy institutional, public, and professional demands and facilitate learning in their classrooms can be especially challenging given today’s standards-based educational climate. In the primary grades, teachers find themselves having to manage competing demands of accountability and their own beliefs about effective instruction for young children. Despite the field’s renewed interest in studying teachers’ thinking as it relates to post-NCLB curricular decision making, few studies examine curricular decision making among beginning primary grade teachers who share the same accountability issues as their more experienced colleagues. Utilizing case study methodology, this investigation explored how five novice primary grade teachers approached curricular decision making for the core content areas within accountability-driven Texas public schools. Data included classroom observations, interviews and post-observation conversations, lesson planning think-alouds, and curricular documents. Cross-case analyses indicate that participants' curricular decision making was characterized by professional judgment in response to various dilemmas they encountered while attempting to address personal, professional, administrative, and organizational expectations. In many ways, the standards-based contexts in which participants taught made teaching especially difficult for these teachers who were only beginning to accumulate the wisdom of practice. Findings also suggest that participants' curricular decisions were informed by a combination of internal and external influences. Most significantly, curricular decisions were deeply rooted in who teachers are and who they hope to become as professional educators. Professional identity permeated all five teachers' approaches to curricular decision making, from the types of decisions they chose to address to the actual decisions they made in the classroom. Concomitantly, these teachers' conceptions of the teaching profession helped shape the nature of their curricular decisions. The study also reveals that professional colleagues played a strong role in guiding curricular decisions among the participants, although not all support offered to novices was necessarily beneficial for their development as effective decision makers. Finally, the study raises questions about incongruities between teacher preparation programs and the expectations graduates will face as beginning teachers. / text

The research studies school heads’ perception of the implementation of the new Moral and Civic Education (MCE) curriculum in Hong Kong primary schools. The MCE curriculum is positioned as a key task in curriculum reform since 2001. The present study recognises school leadership role in steering curriculum delivery in which school heads’ perception is one of the determinants in shaping curriculum execution. Qualitative approach is adopted to uncover the factors affecting the perception of school heads and subsequent implementation strategies. Purposive sampling of six primary school heads is identified for interview to collect data. Content analysis is employed to make inferences from the data reviewing how school heads’ personal belief and values orientation affect the delivery of the curriculum. The MCE curriculum, resting on virtue ethics projecting desirable values to be promoted, is appealing to the school heads. The MCE curriculum designed as values education, resonates Chinese culture emphasizing cultivation of virtue through education while at the same time addressing the societal expectation of the call for promoting national identity with the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997. Given the social and political context of Hong Kong, positive attitude is exhibited by all the sample school heads but they respond differently to the curricular role, reflecting a wide spectrum of understanding of the curriculum and pedagogical competency. The research findings propose the importance of a heightened awareness of school heads’ cognition of the curriculum but their attitude towards the curriculum is deterministic how the curriculum is implemented. The attitude taken hinges on the values and belief of school heads vis a vis organisation values of the school. A model portraying school heads’ awareness, attitude and action for curriculum implementation is recommended to further study school leadership with implications for theory building and practice.

The purpose of this narrative inquiry study was to investigate the influence of curricular mandates on the teaching practices of high school mathematics teachers. Narrative inquiry, philosophically based on John Dewey’s theory of experience (Dewey, 1938), provides the intimate study of an individual's experience over time and in context(s) (Clandinin & Connelly, 2000). This study focused on the experiences of three high school mathematics teachers’ stories of educational change with data collected through interviews and personal documents. Socio-cultural narrative analysis was used to interpret the participants’ stories of adaptation. The data, presented as an ethnodrama, is composed of scenes taken from the interviews and interweaves the participants’ stories of evolution as they tackled the struggles of change on multiple levels: curriculum, student assessment, and teacher evaluation. Results indicated teachers adopt both traditional and reform strategies when deciding on appropriate teaching practices. Collaboration and professional development were two important aspects used by the participants to enlarge their toolbox of teaching practices when forced to challenge their existing beliefs. This study contributes to the scarce research on the impact of curricular mandates on teaching practices. It also highlights the experiences of high school mathematics teachers as they embrace the paradigm shift associated with the mandates and implement changes to their practices to promote a more student-centered, collaborative environment.

The study described through content analysis the general music course in the secondary school as perceived in selected curricular sources from the 1960's and 1970's. As various writers of curricular sources developed their own content and methodologies, a vast amount of data became available which seemed unmanageable because of the particular philosophical goals chosen for the course. The study organized in a systematic manner the content and methodologies of the.course by means of eighteen categories. Categories of high frequency inclusion in the general music sources were shown to be the elements of music, music vocabulary as a specific area for learning, the predominant choice of classical Western/art music, the use of listening and creative activities and the discussion of psychological learning principles.
