Fallstudien beskriver och diskuterar några lektioner med elever som har specifika inlärnings-svårigheter, utifrån skolverkets Allmänna råd, och belyser vilka pedagogiskt svårhanterliga problem och dilemman som kan uppstå när det inte blir som läraren har planerat. Teorin om den proximala utvecklingszonen åskådliggörs. Aktivitetens betydelse för inlärning belyses. Komplexiteten kring lärarskap och ledarskap illustreras. Skolverkets teori om kunskap genom progression, enligt givna årskurser med givet innehåll, stämmer inte alltid med erfarenheterna hos några av verklighetens elever. Samspelet mellan lärare och elever belyses i studien. Be-skrivningar av utvecklingsrelaterade funktionsnedsättningar och psykiskt sårbara barn visar ytterligare hur elevers individuella förutsättningar kan ge konsekvenser för inlärning. / This case study describes and discusses the outcome of some lessons, according to skolver-kets Allmänna råd, given for pupils with specific learning difficulties. It shows pedagogical problems and dilemmas which might occur when things do not turn out as it was planned for. The theory of the zone of proximal development is described in broad outline. The im-portance of action as the foundation to learning is illustrated. The complex role of teaching in the classroom is explained. Skolverket pursue (the theory of) a progression plan, according to the assumption that in a certain grade the pupils learn already defined knowledge based on success from previous learnings, even though it does not always square with the experiences of the pupils state of mind. A brief account of developmental disabilities and psychologically vulnerable children further more pictures how the individual conditions of the pupils can give consequences for the ability to learn.

Sammanfattning   Bakgrund Skolsköterskan träffar alla barn under skolgången vid minst tre planerade tillfällen för hälsobesök. Tillsammans med andra professioner i skolan har skolsköterskan möjlighet att identifiera barn som far illa och har lagstadgad anmälningsplikt. Vid misstanke om samt anmälan av barn som far illa finns det risk för att skolsköterskor utsätts för stress och kan uppleva olika etiska dilemman. Detta gör det angeläget att ta reda på deras erfarenheter inom området. Syfte Att beskriva skolsköterskors erfarenheter av etiska dilemman vid misstanke om att barn far illa samt anmälan därav. Metod Studien genomfördes i två kommuner i sydsverige. Materialet samlades in vid elva intervjuer med skolsköterskor och analyserades med kvalitativ manifest innehållsanalys. Resultat De etiska dilemman som skolsköterskorna upplevde kategoriserades i fyra kategorier och elva underkategorier. Att bygga upp och bevara förtroendefulla relationer med barnen och föräldrarna var viktigt för skolsköterskorna. Viljan att göra rätt upplevdes som en svår uppgift eftersom det innebar att identifiera barn som far illa, att göra sin plikt, men även att göra nytta och inte skada. Skolsköterskorna kunde känna sig ensamma och utsatta i sin profession samt i behov av stöd, både från kollegor men även från andra professioner. De saknade återkoppling från socialtjänsten och önskade att de hade ett bättre samarbete. Slutsats Skolsköterskorna upplevde etiska dilemman i mötet med barn som far illa samt vid lagstadgad anmälan. Handledning, stöd under hela processen samt bättre samarbete med socialtjänsten skulle kunna leda till fler anmälningar. Utbildning samt standardiserade bedömningsinstrument bör kunna medföra att fler barn som far illa identifieras.   Nyckelord Skolsköterskor, barn som far illa, etiska dilemman, anmälningsskyldighet / Abstract Background The school nurse sees all children at least three times during their school years in connection to planned health visits. Together with other school professionals the nurse has the possibility to identify maltreated children and is obligated by law to report it. Suspecting and reporting child maltreatment might implicate an exposure to stress and dealing with various ethical dilemmas. It is therefore important to investigate the school nurses’ experiences concerning this issue. Aim To describe the school nurses’ experiences of ethical dilemmas when suspecting and reporting child maltreatment. Method The study was conducted in two counties in southern Sweden. Data was collected by interviewing eleven school nurses and analyzed by using a qualitative manifest content analysis. Results The ethical dilemmas experienced by the school nurses were categorized in four categories and eleven subcategories. Building and maintaining trustful relationships with the children and their parents was important for the school nurses. The wish to do right was experienced as difficult since it meant to identify maltreated children, to report it, and at the same do good and do no harm. The school nurses felt alone and vulnerable in this situation and needed support both from colleagues and other professionals. They lacked feedback from the child protection services and were yearning for a better collaboration. Conclusion The school nurses experienced ethical dilemmas when meeting maltreated children and being obligated to report it. Supervision, support during the process and a better teamwork with the child protection services may increase the reporting rate. Education and standard assessment instruments might increase the number of identified maltreated children.   Keywords School nurses, child maltreatment, ethical dilemmas, mandatory reporting

These three papers examine "productive failure" as a viable learning design to improve problem solving skills using open-ended problems. Productive failure, a teaching method, is based on the premise of unsuccessful learning performance in solving for complex problems with little to no support while yielding productive learning for subsequent problems. Kapur (2008) argues that hidden efficacies of learning exist in failure in which learners potentially learn through experimentation from their exploration and struggle in solving complex problems in a way that learners must first try and solve complex, novel problems on their own, but ultimately will fail to reach a solution. We have limited understanding if this type of design would be effective on complex problems with multiple solutions since previous studies on productive failure focused on problems with a canonical solution. In the three papers, I examine the extent to which students learn how to solve moral dilemmas in productive failure (PF) compared to lecture and practice (LP) and to what extent instruction in PF helps students learn skills in transferable problem solving. One paper describes a pilot study that was conducted with 21 second-year dental hygiene students. In the randomized-controlled study, analysis did not show significant differences on moral reasoning (p = .06) and transfer of knowledge (p = .58) between PF and LP instructional method. However, the effect size on students' posttest scores was high (d = .76) which as a result of the educational intervention, suggests that PF students demonstrated acquisition of new thinking and approached the complex problem in a more sophisticated moral way of thinking. To replicate these findings, the results from the pilot study were used to make adjustments in instructional and research design for a full-scale study. The second study on 77 second-year dental hygiene students from four dental hygiene programs further shows that PF students gained a deeper conceptual understanding and were better prepared for subsequent problems. PF students, I found, demonstrated greater shifts from simplistic thinking to post conventional thinking compared to LP students. Although PF students performed similarly when compared to LP students on their posttest scores in the moral responses, LP students scored lower than their pretest problem and the difference between pretest and posttest scores in LP School had a moderate effect in a negative direction (d= -.64). Findings in both studies suggest that productive failure design has the potential to help students reach a deeper conceptual understanding when they 1) analyze their own failure; 2) use the learned concept to build upon their own prior knowledge; and 3) repair existing mental models to successfully solve complex problems. As such, continued exploration of various instructional approaches like productive failure is still needed as alternatives to lecture and practice for developing problem solving skills.

In the introductory part, the thesis deals with the description of terms such as senior, old age and basic physical and mental changes that accompany this period. In the next part of the work is characterized the term client, social worker and outlined the possibilities of social work legislation in the Czech Republic. In the third part of the thesis describes in detail terms such as ethics, ethical conduct, professional ethics, code of ethics, ethical dilemmas and supervision. Based on a written questionnaire and subsequent interview, the following chapter describes the ethical dilemmas of the six social services workers. Furthermore, this chapter describes ethically and problematic situations when working with seniors, which the workers in social services formulated as ethical dilemmas. This part of the thesis is followed by another chapter in which the analysis of the selected dilemmatic situation is performed and an insight into the solution of a particular dilemmatic situation using three ethical theories (deontology, utilitarianism and care ethics) is provided.

ABSTRACT This study investigates what and how mathematics (for teaching) is constituted in classroom practice. Specifically mathematical knowledge for teaching fractions in Grade 7. One teacher was studied to gain insight into the mathematical problemsolving the teacher does and the dilemmas he faces as he goes about his work. The analysis of the data show that the mathematical problem-solving that this particular teacher engaged in can be classified as demonstrating, encouraging and working with learner ideas. He appealed to mathematics (rules & empirical), experience (everyday) and the curriculum (tests and exams) to fix meaning. The mathematical problem solving and appeals he made threw up dilemmas of representing the content, competing goals and student thinking. This aided in providing a description of what mathematics for teaching is in this practice. The report concludes with a discussion of what teachers need to know or study in order to become better mathematics teachers and where do they find these courses to accommodate their need to improve as mathematics teachers.

The diploma thesis deals with the description of terms such as senior, old age and basic physical and psychological changes that accompany this period. The next part of the thesis describes the concept of client, social worker and the possibilities of social work legislation in the Czech Republic. In the third part the thesis describes in detail the terms such as ethics, ethical behavior, professional ethics, ethical code and ethical dilemmas. The following chapter, based on a written questionnaire, describes the view of the ethical dilemmas of six female social workers. Furthermore, in this chapter, I present 13 selected dilemma situations that are based on the direct practice of female social workers. This part of the thesis is followed by another chapter, in which the analysis of the selected dilemma situation is carried out and a preview of the various ethical theories most frequently encountered in the literature. The ethical theories chosen are deontology, utilitarianism and ethics of care. The aim of this thesis was to describe the basic concepts of ethical dilemmas with which workers in social services can meet. The concrete practical solution of individual ethical situations by social service workers will enable a realistic view of solving ethical dilemmas in practice. The analysis of a particular selected dilemma situation will provide a view of solving this situation using the most important ethical approaches. Knowledge of these approaches can help social workers to make choices and choose the right ethical approach.

Esta tese resultou de uma pesquisa que objetivou compreender a vivência dos dilemas pessoais de executivos bancários relativos à carreira em contexto de trabalho imaterial e suas repercussões nas relações familiares. Para tanto, em termos teóricos e com o objetivo de sustentar a tese, trabalhou-se com os conceitos de dilema, de subjetividade e estilos de vida apoiados especialmente em Bauman (2009; 2008; 2007a; 2007b; 2004), Pelbart (2000), Guatarri e Rolnik (2005) e Gaulejac (2007); de carreira, especialmente nos modelos que de carreira sem fronteira e proteana (SULLIVAN e ARTHUR, 2006; HALL, 1996), de trabalho imaterial amparado em autores tais como Lazzarato e Negri (2001), Lazzarato (2008; 2004), Negri (2009; 2008; 2003), Pelbart (2000; 2003) e Grisci (2008). Foram entrevistados dezesseis executivos bancários de Porto Alegre e da região metropolitana, bem como quinze representantes de suas relações familiares. As entrevistas estruturadas foram realizadas com os executivos bancários em seus ambientes de trabalho e com os familiares ocorreram em suas residências ou em estabelecimentos comerciais por eles indicados. A análise dos dados foi realizada de maneira qualitativa e seguiu as orientações propostas por Minayo (2001). Os resultados indicaram dilemas relativos à mobilidade espacial e funcional, e à privação da convivência. A existência dos dilemas não se mostrou inédita, porém, na contemporaneidade, eles tomam a vida profissional e pessoal dos sujeitos independentemente de limites espaço-temporais, afetando o modo de viver do executivo bancário e de sua família. Esta configuração está relacionada a um “modelo” de carreira profissional meteórica, de responsabilidade única do próprio trabalhador, em um contexto em que prevalece o trabalho imaterial (LAZZARATO e NEGRI, 2001). / This thesis stems from an exploratory research which aimed to discern the personal dilemmas related to the banking executives’ career are currently shaped and understand how these dilemmas are twisted with their family relationships. In order to do so, to theoretically support this thesis, the following concepts were taken up: dilemma, subjectivity and life style, particularly as regarded in Bauman (2009; 2008; 2007a; 2007b; 2004), Pelbart (2000), Guatarri and Rolnik (2005) and Gaulejac (2007); career, especially in the light of the models of borderless and protean career (SULLIVAN and ARTHUR, 2006; HALL, 1996); immaterial work, as approached by authors like Lazzarato and Negri (2001), Lazzarato (2008; 2004), Negri (2009; 2008; 2003), Pelbart (2000; 2003) and Grisci (2008). The interviews were conducted with sixteen banking executives from Porto Alegre and the metropolitan area, and also with fifteen representatives from their family relations. The structured interviews were conducted with the banking executives within their work environments, while the interviews with family members occurred in their homes or in stores suggested by them. Data were analyzed in a qualitative way and followed the guidelines proposed by Minayo (2001). Results suggest the existence of dilemmas related to spatial and functional mobility and social life dispossession. The existence of these dilemmas is not a novelty. However, nowadays they take over the individual’s professional and personal lives regardless of time and space limits. This, in turn, affects the executive and his family’s way of life. Such configuration is connected to a “model” of meteoric professional career, which is the responsibility of the worker alone, in a context where immaterial work prevails (LAZZARATO and NEGRI, 2001).

Esta tese de Doutorado foi defendida sob o formato de artigos, cada um aborda uma das etapas metodológicas e os respectivos resultados da pesquisa. No início de cada seção o leitor encontrará um resumo específico de cada artigo. O primeiro artigo, intitulado Educação Física: dilemas da disciplina no espaço escolar analisa cinco dissertações de mestrado que tomam como objeto a educação física escolar e seus dilemas no território contestado do currículo. O dilema central é que a educação física é representada como um tempo e espaço escolar associado ao universo do lazer (removi essa vírgula) numa instituição que valoriza disciplinas consideradas úteis no mercado de trabalho. Segundo artigo, intitulado Colégio Pedro II, as reformas educacionais e o currículo da disciplina Educação Física: dos anos 80 do século XX à primeira década do século XXI historicizou o currículo da disciplina Educação Física do Colégio Pedro II, com base nos documentos curriculares produzidos nesta instituição. Concluímos que a indefinição de conteúdo e a falta de um currículo prescritivo distanciaram o ensino de Educação Física da unificação de procedimentos de ensino e avaliação nas Unidades de Ensino, perpetuando os modos de fazer e não os de saber. / This Doctoral thesis was presented in articles forms, each one of them comments one of the methodological stages and the results of this research. In the beginning of each section the reader will find a specific summary of each article. The first article, entitled Physical Education: dilemmas of the discipline in the school side analyzes five master theses that take as their objects the physical education and its dilemmas in the disputed territory of the curriculum. The main dilemma is that Physical Education is represented such as space and moment, both associated to the universe of leisure in an institution that worths disciplines that are usually considered useful in the job market. Second article, entitled The Pedro II School, education reforms and physical education curriculum: from the 1980s to the first decade of the 21st century we in objective of historicize the Physical Education curriculum of the Pedro II School, based on the curricular documents elaborated by this institution. It was concluded that the vagueness of subjects and the lack of a prescriptive curriculum has withdrawn the Physical Education teaching from the unification of teaching proceedings and Teaching Units evaluation, perpetuating doing ways and not knowing ways.

Fragilizado ao assumir riscos e ter que lidar com a instabilidade e a insegurança consequentes da busca por sua liberdade na sociedade líquido moderna e em contexto de trabalho imaterial, o indivíduo é exposto a inúmeras promessas de ferramentas de rápida solução, serviços, métodos e técnicas de desenvolvimento pessoal que prometem maior controle sobre as experiências de vida. A presente dissertação busca analisar como dilemas pessoais vivenciados em contexto de trabalho imaterial na sociedade líquido moderna são apresentados e trabalhados na perspectiva do life coaching. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório que contou com a participação de cinco profissionais que prestam o serviço de life coaching. A coleta de dados se deu através de entrevistas individuais semi-estruturadas. Para a análise dos dados foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo. A análise dos resultados foi realizada de maneira qualitativa e se deu á luz do referencial teórico sobre a sociedade líquido moderna, o trabalho imaterial, o coaching e o life coaching. Os resultados da pesquisa permitiram indicar o life coaching como serviço que busca corresponder à demanda por desenvolvimento pessoal no alcance de adaptação a mudanças, excelência em todos os domínios da vida e no ímpeto por autorrealização pessoal, características da vida líquida, através do uso de ferramentas gerencialistas originalmente empregadas para o desenvolvimento empresarial. Alinhado com a ideia de que todos devem estar em estado permanente de vigilância e de gestão de si, e mergulhado no movimento mercadológico de autoajuda e de desenvolvimento pessoal patrocinado por uma ideologia produtivista e capitalista, o life coaching mostrou-se como clara expressão da noção de produção de subjetividade, contexto característico do mundo sob hegemonia do trabalho imaterial. A oferta do serviço de life coaching se mostrou, ainda, de estruturação inconsistente. A falta de consenso apontada sobre o conhecimento de base que alicerça o coaching e a falta de regulamentação quanto à formação e premissas para atuação profissional nesta área são elementos que justificam o questionamento com relação à adequação da capacitação dos life coaches para o tratamento de dilemas pessoais em contexto de trabalho imaterial na sociedade líquido moderna. / The personal search for liberty in liquid-modern society and immaterial work context, and the consequent need to take risks and to deal with an instable and insecure environment can make one vulnerable as exposed to a countless number of tools, services, methods and techniques for personal development wich promises fast results and increased controle over life experiences. The present dissertation searches to analyse how personal dilemmas experimented in immaterial work context and in liquid-modern society are presentated and worked in the perspective of life coaching. The present study is characterized as an exploratory study and counted with the participation of five professionals who offer life coaching services. The data was collected through individual semi-structered interviews. To analyse the data the content analysis was used. The analysis of the results was developed in a qualitative way from theorical references about liquid-modern society, immaterial work, coaching and life coaching. The results of the research indicates life coaching as a sevice that utilizes management tools originaly aplicated in business devolopement, and a service that corresponds to a demand for personal development in the search for adaptation over changing situations, for excellence in all of life´s domains, and in the search for personal realization, all caracteristics of liquid life. Aligned with the idea that all should be in permanent state of awareness and self management, and deeply merged in the self-help and personal development market sponsored by productivist and capitalist ideology, life coaching is presented as a clear expression of the subjective production notion that is characteristic of a world in predominance of immaterial work. The life coaching has yet been presented as an inconsistent service in terms of it´s strucuture. In Brazil, the lack of consense pointed out over its knowledge base, the lack of regulation over the life coaching formation and the inexistence of premises for life coaching professional performance are elements that justify questioning how appropriate and adequate are life coaches´ capacitation to work out personal dilemmas in immaterial work context and in liquid-modern society.

Objectives: To examine the extent to which pharmacy students’ attitudes, subjective norm beliefs, and perceived behavioral control beliefs explain gray dispensing decisions, using the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as a framework. Method: Third professional year pharmacy students (n=159) from two academic cohorts were provided three written case scenarios: (1) a dentist prescribing outside of his scope of practice; (2) a physician prescribing for a family member; and (3) a patient who was out of refills on insulin. A brief questionnaire assessed TPB constructs, whether or not the student would dispense the medication, and the number of times the student would dispense in 10 similar situations. Composite scores were calculated for TPB constructs after analyzing internal consistency reliability. Linear regression techniques were used to analyze the influence of the constructs on mean intent to dispense in similar scenarios. Results: The percent of students who indicated they would dispense in each scenario was 68% in scenario 1, 74% in scenario 2, and 81% in scenario 3. For all case scenarios, mean intent to dispense in similar scenarios was explained by attitude scores (p≤0.006). For the insulin refill and family prescribing cases, mean intent to dispense was also explained by subjective norm beliefs (pImplications: Student attitudes consistently predicted intention to dispense across the gray scenarios. These findings can be used to develop and target upstream TPB construct interventions in pharmacy education that influence students’ downstream dispensing decisions. Additional research is warranted to determine if TBP constructs similarly explain the dispensing behaviors of practicing pharmacists.
