Under det senaste decenniet har barns och ungas tillgång till olika digitala medier ökat. De flesta elever möter det engelska språket varje dag på något sätt och de är inte bara konsumenter av språket utan de producerar också engelska i olika aktiviteter på fritiden. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilket utrymme elevernas extramurala engelska får inom ramen för skolans engelskundervisning och i vilken utsträckning eleverna har användning av engelskan de lär sig i skolans undervisning i sina fritidsaktiviteter. Extramural engelska är ett begrepp som innefattar all den engelska som eleverna kommer i kontakt med utanför skolan. Studien omfattar tre lärare och nio elever i årskurs 4-6 från tre olika kommuner i Jönköpings län. Studien har en fenomenografiskt inspirerad ansats och materialinsamlingen har gjorts genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet visar att lärarna arbetat mer eller mindre med en inkludering av elevernas extramurala engelska i engelskundervisningen. Något som var gemensamt för samtliga intervjuade lärare var att de såg en signifikant skillnad i språkliga förmågor mellan de elever som spelade mycket onlinespel och de elever som inte gjorde det. Flertalet av de intervjuade eleverna ansåg sig på ett eller annat sätt ha användning av den engelska de lär sig i skolan på sin fritid. En slutsats som dras är att det är viktigt att undervisande lärare sätter sig in i var, i vilken form och på vilket sätt eleverna möter engelska i sin fritid för att kunna inkludera det i undervisningen i engelska. / Over the past decade, children and adolescents have had an increased access to digital media. Most students get exposed to the English language in some way every day and they are not just consumers, they are also producers of English when they are engaged in different activities in their spare time. The aim of the study is to look into how extramural English is included in English school curriculum and to what extent students have use for the English they learn at school in their spare time activities. Extramural English includes all the English that students come into contact with outside of school. Three teachers and nine students, all from Jönköping county, are included in this study. The students are in grades 4-6. The study has a fenomenographically inspired approach and semi-structured intervjuews have been used to collect the data. The result reveals that the teachers have been working more or less with including the students’ extramural English in school. All teachers that participated in the interviews mentioned that they saw a significant difference in the students’ linguistic abilities between the ones who played a great number of online games and the students who did not. Most of the interviewed students felt in one way or another that they had use for the English they learn at school in their spare time. A conclusion drawn from the results of this study is that it is important for teachers to determine where, in what form and in what way students come into contact with English in their spare time in order to include it in the English school curriculum.

Using resiliency theory as a lens, this qualitative study explored the educational journey and post-graduation experiences of 5 (2 females and 3 males) undocumented Latino college graduates (ULCGs). All participants completed a college degree from a U.S. four-year institution located in a state with an active in-state resident tuition (ISRT) policy. Pseudonyms were used to protect the identity of study participants since a viable path to permanent U.S. residency for undocumented students and/or graduates is currently unavailable. Participants shared their journeys through two 90-minute interviews conducted via Skype, follow-up questions conducted via e-mail, and journal entries collected via e-mail. Consistent with existing literature, findings revealed that participants experienced numerous cultural, academic, legal, and personal barriers, but were relentless in reaching their goals. Contrary to most existing literature, participants in this study enjoyed significant academic capital, aspirational capital, and followed a different and unique decision-making rationale. Findings are presented in five individual portraits and one collective portrait. Individual portraits illustrate participants' struggles, key turning points, and their life decisions. The collective portrait addresses four themes that emerged from the data, including 1) life barriers, 2) reflections of resiliency, 3) decision time, and 4) college education interpretation.

Matematisk modellering är en av de förmågor eleverna ska ges möjlighet att utveckla på gymnasiet. Det är dock inte helt självklart bland lärare vad modellering innebär och frågan är om de undervisningsaktiviteter som används i relation till undervisning av modellering idag verkligen är ändamålsenliga. Denna studie undersöker elevernas potentiella utveckling i att modellera inom en lektionsserie, en så kallad modelleringsmodul, riktad mot kursen Matematik 5 på gymnasiet. Elevernas potentiella utveckling studeras utifrån deras involvering i de olika delprocesser som anses utgöra modelleringsprocessen i sin helhet. Resultatet indikerar att modelleringsmodulen tycks involvera eleverna i samtliga dessa delprocesser. Samtidigt visar resultatet att detta inte är en självklarhet och att vissa delprocesser tycks vara svårare att involvera eleverna i än andra. / Mathematical modelling is one of the competences students will have the possibility to develop in upper secondary school. However, it is not entirely obvious among teachers what modelling really means and it is questionable if the learning activities that are being used in relation to modelling education today really are effective. This study focuses on the students’ potential development within a series of lessons, a so-called modelling module, adapted for the course Mathematics 5 in upper secondary school. The students’ potential development is studied based on their involvement in the various sub-processes that are considered to be the modelling process as a hole. The result indicates that the modelling module involves students in all of these sub-processes. At the same time, the results show this is not self-evident and some of the subprocesses seem to be harder to involve the students in than others.

Este trabalho investiga a interação do professor de ciências com suportes de divulgação científica (DC). A DC não é produzida visando atingir o ensino formal, todavia é um recurso frequente em aulas de ciências. A inclusão da DC em situações formais de ensino requer preparo e criatividade do professor, de modo que antes de ser utilizado, este deve conhecer o suporte e adequá-lo aos objetivos educacionais e propósitos de ensino. Esse processo ocorre em duas etapas principais, a primeira delimitada pelo acesso e consumo da DC e a segunda pelo uso em situações de ensino, que ocorre após a apropriação da DC como ferramenta cultural. Desse modo, o objetivo desse trabalho é investigar a apropriação da DC por professores de ciências. Para isso, o trabalho investiga um curso de especialização de professores por meio de perspectivas socioculturais e metodologias quantitativas e qualitativas. A investigação analisa 400 sequências didáticas produzidas por professores de ciências do estado de São Paulo, buscando evidenciar quais os principais suportes de DC utilizados, bem como os propósitos de ensino para as atividades que usam esse recurso. Além disso, realiza-se um estudo de caso que investiga as situações de uso de suportes de DC em uma sala de aula do nono ano do ensino fundamental. Nessa investigação, as aulas foram registradas em áudio e vídeo e os episódios analisados com base nas contribuições do círculo de Bakhtin. Os resultados de nossas análises possibilitaram encontrar os principais propósitos de ensino para o uso de DC, bem como os principais suportes utilizados pelos professores de ciências. Além disso, observamos e caracterizamos as principais formas de utilização da DC em situações de ensino, no caso, o professor por meio de diferentes estratégias compõe a narrativa por meio do discurso alheio, usufruindo de diversas tipologias de discurso citado, dentre principais, o discurso direto; discurso indireto e discurso indireto-livre. / This study investigates the interaction of the science teacher with public understanding of science (PUS). The PUS is not produced aimed at achieving formal education, but it is frequently used in science lessons. The inclusion of PUS in formal teaching situations requires training and creativity of the teacher, so that prior to use, he must access the material and adapt it to educational goals and to teaching purposes. This process occurs especially in two stages, the first delimited by the access and consumption of PUS and the second by using it in teaching situations, that occurs after the appropriation of PUS as a cultural tool. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the appropriation of PUS by science teachers. Hence, this work also investigates a specialization course for science teachers through sociocultural approaches using quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The research analyzes 400 didactic sequences produced by science teachers of the state of São Paulo, seeking for evidence of the main PUS media used as well as the teaching purposes for the activities that use these media. In addition, a case study has been developed in which one investigates the situations of using PUS in a classroom of the ninth year of elementary school. For this study case, lessons have been recorded on audio and video, and the episodes were analyzed based on contributions of the Bakhtin Circle. The results of our analysis allowed to find the main teaching purposes for the use of PUS and the main media used by science teachers. In addition, we characterize the main modes of using PUS in teaching situations, in this case, the teacher through different strategies makes up the narrative through alien discourse, applying different typologies of reported discourses, in which the main are the direct, indirect and quasi-direct.

Both elementary and middle-school levels were analyzed and it was acknowledged that they had very different trajectories. However, these segments had in common the concern with the development of the senses of both children and young adults. In middleschool level the main concern can be related to science education and practical proposals. On the other hand, the elementary school was based on intuitive teaching. The observation, practical work and experimentation have been included among the dally activities of the school and should take place in appropriate locations, where it would be possible to keep teaching materials, as well as to propose practical situations with students. In this context, there were the establishment of school museums, cabinets and laboratories inside the school. These development were not only an indication that Colégio Marista Arquidiocesano de São Paulo followed the government guidelines but also the proof that they were a symbol of modern pedagogy. It could also be considered as advertising for the school / A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar a configuração de locais próprios para o ensino de ciências no início do século XX, mais especificamente, como esse processo ocorreu no Colégio Marista Arquidiocesano de São Paulo, entre os anos de 1908 e 1940. Foi abarcado o ensino primário e o secundário e, mesmo reconhecendo que tiveram trajetórias bem diversas, esses segmentos de ensino tiveram em comum uma preocupação com a educação dos sentidos das crianças e dos jovens. Se no secundário essa preocupação pode ser relacionada com o ensino de ciências e as propostas práticas e experimentais, no primário foi marcada pela proposta do ensino intuitivo. A observação, o trabalho prático e a experimentação foram incluídos dentre os fazeres da escola e deveriam acontecer em locais apropriados, onde seria possível tanto manter os materiais de ensino, quanto propor situações práticas com os alunos. Neste contexto, foram criados os museus escolares, os gabinetes e laboratórios de ensino. Estes locais, além de serem um indício de que o Colégio Arquidiocesano seguia as orientações governamentais, também eram símbolo de uma pedagogia moderna e serviam, inclusive, de propaganda da instituição escolar

No. of bitstreams: 1 Paola Prestes Penney.pdf: 2036011 bytes, checksum: 1d5bd18e2d7c9989e5ca7f25f460e4ec (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-02-27 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This study investigates the processes through which poetic narratives are constructed in documentary cinema and their results. In order to do so, the question of the audiovisual poetry that is formed through images, sounds, and words will be analyzed. In its turn, this analysis will serve as the basis of the proposition of this study, the creation of poetic languages, and the mapping of new discernible frontiers of communication and perception in the context of the production of documentary cinema. Three documentaries by the German filmmaker Werner Herzog are analyzed Fata Morgana (1971), Lessons of darkness (1992), and The wild blue yonder (2005) which, in the context of this dissertation, constitute a poetic trilogy. Based on these works and documental material on the director, this project aims to elucidate Herzog s creative processes and their transformations in each phase of realization of those films, from the choices in conceptual approach to the editing, by comparatively analyzing the way text, image, and sound are worked together. To this end, the study of these three works is founded in two moments: the realization (technical analysis) and the result (analysis of the poetic or artistic language). This methodology satisfies technical criteria as much as it does sensibility criteria, and when combined with Gaston Bachelard s, Arlindo Machado s, and Gilles Deleuze s concepts of image, this study reveals the processes of audiovisual language creation in documentary cinema that transcend the limits of the genre / Este estudo investiga os processos de construção de narrativas poéticas em cinema documentário e seus resultados. Para tanto, será analisada a questão da poesia audiovisual que é construída por meio de imagens, sons e palavras. Esta análise servirá como base para se estabelecer a questão proposta neste estudo, a criação de linguagens poéticas e o mapeamento de novas fronteiras de comunicação e percepção sensíveis no contexto da produção de cinema documentário. Três documentários do cineasta alemão Werner Herzog são estudados: Fata Morgana, de 1971, Lições da escuridão, de 1992 e Além do azul selvagem, de 2005, que, no contexto desta dissertação, compõem uma trilogia poética do diretor. Com base nessas obras e material documental sobre o diretor, a pesquisa procura trazer um entendimento dos processos criativos de Herzog e as transformações desses processos, em cada etapa de realização dos filmes, da escolha de dispositivos à montagem, analisando comparativamente de que maneira são articulados texto, imagem e som. Para tanto, o estudo destas três obras está estruturado em dois momentos: a realização (análise técnica), e o resultado (análise da linguagem poética ou artística). A metodologia de análise adotada atende a critérios técnicos sensíveis. A fundamentação teórica engloba Gaston Bachelard, Arlindo Machado e Gilles Deleuze, com o objetivo de revelar os processos de criação de linguagem audiovisual em cinema documentário que transcende os limites do gênero
