Do the philosophy, concepts and goals of the four core grade eight Saskatchewan curricula require teachers to be global educators?Khan, Jacqueline Joan 30 January 2008
The twenty-first century is a globally interdependent society, with people connected on a political, cultural, environmental and economic level. To prepare students to graduate into this interconnected community, global education is integral to their schooling. A global education program includes three equally important components: Content, that promotes knowledge of and respect for the pluralistic and diverse world; learning to take Action, which encourages students to recognize and respond to global needs; and Pedagogy, which should incorporate collaboration and allow students too develop as critical thinkers . When the first two categories are taught and learned using an appropriate pedagogical style, students are empowered to find and use their own voices to contribute in their global community.<p>While research demonstrates that Saskatchewan teachers believe that global education is important, studies indicate that global education is not implemented by Saskatchewan teachers. What inhibits implementation of global education? The written curriculum is a document that guides teachers in planning and delivering subject content mandated by Saskatchewan Learning. For this study I inquired into whether the Grade 8 curriculum of the four core subject areas (Mathematics, English Language Arts, Social Studies and Science) require and assist Saskatchewan teachers in being global educators.<p>A text analysis was done to determine if the goals, philosophies and objectives of the Grade Eight Core Curriculum reflected the three components of a global education program, thus requiring Saskatchewan teachers to be global educators. Quantitative analysis was used to determine the number of times global education concepts appeared in the curricula and a qualitative analysis was carried out to determine how the concepts were used. Analysis of the curricula determined that global education concepts are found predominantly the Social Studies document, meaning that teachers of other subject areas do not receive much assistance to be global educators. Analysis also revealed that while global education concepts appeared in the philosophies and goals sections of all curricula, the concepts were lacking or absent in the objectives sections, meaning that the curricula do not provide direct assistance to teachers in implementing global education.

Problematika LGBT v českých a zahraničních kurikulárních materiálech / LGBT topics in Czech and international curricular materialsJírová, Dominika January 2016 (has links)
The paper is a review of contemporary theoretical and curricular approaches to sexual minorities in education. It analyses the curricula documents, the theoretical bases of access to (sexual) minorities in education in the Czech Republic and relevant documents available in English-speaking countries on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender-related (LGBT). Document analysis was performed using the "snowball" method. The aim is to analyse the situation in the Czech Republic and compare it with results from abroad, then there are the proposed recommendations for the curriculum revision. The conclusion brings a list of materials and their contents in the Czech Republic and a comparison with foreign materials written in English. KEYWORDS curriculum analysis, minorities, LBGT, Czech Republic

Transfer track versus workforce development: Implications for policy change in Florida community collegesGriffin, Karen 01 June 2007 (has links)
Policy-makers intend community colleges to be the primary vehicles for workforce development education and training. In support of this intent, community college mission statements and curricular patterns should clearly indicate a workforce emphasis. Do these statements and curricular patterns reflect policy intent? If not, are resources being directed appropriately? This study was conducted to determine whether the current composition of the overall Florida public community college curriculum and the content of Florida public community college mission and planning statements provided evidence to support Florida leadership policy statements that portray workforce development as a primary component of the community college mission.
An investigation also was made as to whether a longitudinal assessment of the curriculum and the content of mission and planning statements provided evidence that workforce development increased as a component of the community college mission.Through the assumptions of legitimation theory, the overriding hypothesis of this study was that community colleges as institutions that allocate status confer a higher status through their transfer mission than through their workforce development mission. To carry out this study, a content analysis was conducted of 1999/2000 and 2004/2005 mission and institutional goal statements. Comparisons were made across time and between institutions. Size was included as a factor. Findings confirmed the study prediction that the transfer mission would remain paramount in the Florida community college curriculum. Findings also confirmed growth in workforce development education once non-credit sections were included in the overall curricular analysis.
However, the liberal arts transfer mission remained the primary emphasis in the curriculum analysis, although not in the content analysis. Workforce retains a priority status among policy leaders, both at a national and state level. The findings from this study indicate that leadership policy directives are aligned well with institutional mission, goal, and planning documents: workforce development holds a dominant place. However, the findings suggest that leadership policy directives are not aligned well with curricular patterns. Community college stakeholders may wish to investigate what more can be done to promote the workforce development component to students.

Eleven i Sen-Moderniteten : En Läroplansanalys och Didaktisk Modell / The student in late modernity: : a curriculum analysis anddidactic modelJohnsson Nuñez, Renato January 2024 (has links)
Denna avhandling tillämpar Anthony Giddens teori om sen-modernitet på gymnasieutbildningen, och i synnerhet dess inverkan på föreställningarna om ’jaget’ och självidentiteten. Den ger svar på den didaktiska frågan ”till vem?”. Dess avsikt är att förstå eleverna på en existentiell nivå, och att förstå hur de påverkas av den samtida världen. Giddens bok från 1991, Modernity and Self Identity: Self and Society in the Late Modern Age, används som teoretiska ramverket. Denna avhandling har två delar. I den första delen genomför jag ett läroplansanalys av den svenska gymnasieskolan från 1970 till 2022 och tolkar läroplanerna genom sen-modernitetens teoretiska ramar. Detta visar hur villkoren för ’högmodernitet’ återspeglas i läroplanen, vilket motiverar att överväga hur dessa förhållanden påverkar våra elevers självidentitet och vad detta betyder för undervisningen. I den andra delen utvecklar jag en didaktisk modell som kan vara till hjälp i vår undervisning då den ger klarhet om eleven under sen-moderniteten. / This thesis applies Anthony Gidden’s theory of late modernity to upper secondary school education and, in particular, its impact on the notions of the self and self-identity. It provides an answer to the didactic question “to whom?”. The intent is to understand the students at an existential level, and to understand how they are affected by the contemporary world. Giddens’ 1991 book, Modernity and Self Identity: Self and Society in the Late Modern Age, is used as the theoretical framework. This thesis has two parts. In the first, I carry out a curriculum study of Swedish upper secondary school from 1970 to 2022 and interpret the curricula through the theoretical framework of late modernity. This shows how the conditions of ‘high modernity’ are reflected in the curriculum, which justifies considering how these conditions impact on the self-identity of our students and what this means for teaching. In the second part, I develop a didactic model that can assist in our teaching as it provides clarity on the student in late modernity.

Teknik, engelska och hållbar utveckling : En kvalitativ studie hur hållbar utveckling framträder i ämnena teknik och engelska i läroplanenDisebäck, Magnus, Alkhaldi, Almina January 2022 (has links)
Currently the Education for sustainable development practices obtain a critical spot in Swedish education, owing to its prominent position in international educational policy. This qualitative analysis, based on the Pragmatism Theory, aims in the first place to investigate in what way Agenda 2030 relate to the Swedish curriculum, and how it has changed between Lgr 11 and Lgr 22. This is assessed by analyzing parts of Lgr 11 and Lgr 22 with a focus on the subjects technology and English. The results show no conspicuous connection between the Agenda 2030 and the Swedish curriculum as well as this connection has not changed between Lgr 11 and Lgr 22. We conclude the paper by discussing that it is difficult to cover the three dimensions of sustainable development (the economic, the social and the environmental.) with only one subject. Therefore, Education for sustainable development requires correlated cooperation between teachers of different subjects in order to develop and enhance the student's knowledge of sustainable development. / I detta arbete har vi identifierat vad hållbar utveckling innebär för undervisning igrundskolan där vi har använt Agenda 2030 som underlag för definition av hållbarutveckling. Med hjälp av definitionen av hållbar utveckling har vi genomfört en kvalitativanalys av Lgr 11 och Lgr 22. I analysen har det framkommit att läraren behöver skapa ettöppet klimat som leder till värderingsdialoger om hur vi kan få till ett hållbart samhälleutan att skuldbelägga. Dock så är diskursen i utbildningsmaterialet åt det motsatta hållet.Det är svårt att som enskild lärare lyckas skapa en skuldfri och mångsidig diskurs för attge eleverna förutsättningar att själva kunna ta ställning och utvecklas. Alla lärare behöverbidra med sina kunskaper och verka för ett öppet klimat, för att eleven skall lyckas.I vår slutsats framgår det svårt att enbart använda sig av ett ämne för att täcka de tredimensionerna (den ekonomiska, den sociala och den miljömässiga,) som omfattas avhållbar utveckling enligt Agenda 2030. I denna analys framgår det tydligt att socialaperspektivet och det miljömässiga perspektivet kan omfattas i hållbar utvecklingen enligtLgr 22, men det kräver ämnesöverskridande utbildning. Dock visar forskningen på att detekonomiska perspektivet inte ryms i läroplanen.

Erbjudet och upplevt lärande i mötet med svenska som andraspråk och svensk skolaTorpsten, Ann-Christin January 2008 (has links)
This dissertation focuses on the experiences of second language pupils which involve linguistic encounters. The overarching aim is to analyse second language pupils' encounters with Swedish as a Second Language and the Swedish school, using a “curriculum theory” and a ”life story” approach". The goal is achieved by examining two empirical contexts which can be described as expressed and experienced curricula. In the first context, an idea analysis is carried out of the contents of the syllabi and curricula for Swedish as a Second Language over a period of time. In the second context, a narrative analysis is carried out of the life stories given by second language pupils of their encounter with Swedish as a Second Language and the Swedish school. Trainee teachers with Swedish as a Second Language participate by telling their life stories. A framework for interpretation emerges by reasoning about language and the creation of meaning, as well as about culture, cultural capital, similarities/differences, compensating/completing and limited participation/full participation. The reasoning leads to the construction of a theoretical interpretation framework and prisms through which the offered and experienced learning can be studied. The analysis shows that what is on offer in the curricula and syllabi is mainly monocultural. It shows that a new subject has grown up based on the need to teach pupils about the Swedish cultural heritage and Swedish norms. Moreover, both changes in the expressed educational ideals over a period of time and contradictory educational ideals become evident. It is also clear that those providing the information felt both different and excluded. They were not monolingual, and did not have Swedish as their mother tongue. To make up for this lack of Swedishness, they were separated from the other classmates and offered special teaching in an attempt to compensate. They also received mother tongue tuition, which was not in Swedish, and this became a problem for those around them, who considered this was an easy option. The second language tuition they were offered focussed partly on their mistakes and shortcomings, and partly on the Swedish cultural heritage. Their earlier experience and skills were not used.
