Participation and social order in the playground

Theobald, Maryanne Agnes January 2009 (has links)
This study investigates the everyday practices of young children acting in their social worlds within the context of the school playground. It employs an ethnographic ethnomethodological approach using conversation analysis. In the context of child participation rights advanced by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and childhood studies, the study considers children’s social worlds and their participation agendas. The participants of the study were a group of young children in a preparatory year setting in a Queensland school. These children, aged 4 to 6 years, were videorecorded as they participated in their day-to-day activities in the classroom and in the playground. Data collection took place over a period of three months, with a total of 26 hours of video data. Episodes of the video-recordings were shown to small groups of children and to the teacher to stimulate conversations about what they saw on the video. The conversations were audio-recorded. This method acknowledged the child’s standpoint and positioned children as active participants in accounting for their relationships with others. These accounts are discussed as interactionally built comments on past joint experiences and provided a starting place for analysis of the video-recorded interaction. Four data chapters are presented in this thesis. Each data chapter investigates a different topic of interaction. The topics include how children use “telling” as a tactical tool in the management of interactional trouble, how children use their “ideas” as possessables to gain ownership of a game and the interactional matters that follow, how children account for interactional matters and bid for ownership of “whose idea” for the game and finally, how a small group of girls orientated to a particular code of conduct when accounting for their actions in a pretend game of “school”. Four key themes emerged from the analysis. The first theme addresses two arenas of action operating in the social world of children, pretend and real: the “pretend”, as a player in a pretend game, and the “real”, as a classroom member. These two arenas are intertwined. Through inferences to explicit and implicit “codes of conduct”, moral obligations are invoked as children attempt to socially exclude one another, build alliances and enforce their own social positions. The second theme is the notion of shared history. This theme addresses the history that the children reconstructed, and acts as a thread that weaves through their interactions, with implications for present and future relationships. The third theme is around ownership. In a shared context, such as the playground, ownership is a highly contested issue. Children draw on resources such as rules, their ideas as possessables, and codes of behaviour as devices to construct particular social and moral orders around owners of the game. These themes have consequences for children’s participation in a social group. The fourth theme, methodological in nature, shows how the researcher was viewed as an outsider and novice and was used as a resource by the children. This theme is used to inform adult-child relationships. The study was situated within an interest in participation rights for children and perspectives of children as competent beings. Asking children to account for their participation in playground activities situates children as analysers of their own social worlds and offers adults further information for understanding how children themselves construct their social interactions. While reporting on the experiences of one group of children, this study opens up theoretical questions about children’s social orders and these influences on their everyday practices. This thesis uncovers how children both participate in, and shape, their everyday social worlds through talk and interaction. It investigates the consequences that taken-for-granted activities of “playing the game” have for their social participation in the wider culture of the classroom. Consideration of this significance may assist adults to better understand and appreciate the social worlds of young children in the school playground.

PROFESSORES DOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL EM FORMAÇÃO: UM OLHAR A PARTIR DE DISCUSSÕES SOBRE O SISTEMA DE NUMERAÇÃO DECIMAL NO CONTEXTO DO PROGRAMA PACTO NACIONAL PELA ALFABETIZAÇÃO NA IDADE CERTA / TEACHERS OF EARLY YEARS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN FORMATION: A LOOK FROM DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE DECIMAL NUMERING SYSTEM IN CONTEXT OF PACTO NACIONAL PELA ALFABETIZAÇÃO NA IDADE CERTA PROGRAM

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This work stems from a project developed under the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics and their Philosophical, Historical and Epistemological Foundations research scope of the Graduate Program in Mathematics Education and Physics Teaching at the Federal University of Santa Maria. Based on the assumptions of the Historic-Cultural Theory and the Theory of Activity, as well as authors who address the training of teachers who teach mathematics, we define as main objective to investigate the formation of teachers who teach Mathematics in the early years of Elementary school, from discussions about the Decimal Numbering System in the context of a working group of Guiding Studies of Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa (PNAIC) Program. How collected data procedure, we adopted a questionnaire applied to Guiding Studies of this Program belonging to Santa Maria (RS) polo; follow-up of continuing education presential meetings that boarded the Decimal Numbering System in one of the working groups and we realize reflective sessions with guiding studies teachers of this working group. While the questionnaire answers served to bring indicative of these teachers think about Decimal Numbering Decimal and your teaching, the data of continuing education meetings and reflective sessions were systematized in four analysis sections the teacher as subject in your formation; the math knowledge as promotor of subject development; pedagogical intentionality as element of teacher organization, e; the share as promotor of comprehension of complexity of pedagogical activity with the goal of build episodes (Moura,1992) to verify the extent to which the Guiding Studies presents quality change in your formation process. We conclude that formation space, such as offered by PNAIC, may constitute as Learning spaces of Teaching for evolved teachers, since that develop forming activities that provide access to math knowledge as a result of logic-historic process; provide discussions about Teaching organization focusing in Learning of student and favor the collective development of group, in order that knowledge appropriation occurs from the social to the individual. / Este trabalho decorre de um projeto desenvolvido no âmbito da linha de pesquisa Ensino e Aprendizagem da Matemática e seus Fundamentos Filosóficos, Históricos e Epistemológicos do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Matemática e Ensino de Física da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Com base nos pressupostos da Teoria Histórcio-Cultural e da teoria da Atividade, assim como em autores que abordam a formação de professores que ensinam Matemática, delimita-se como objetivo principal investigar a formação de professores que ensinam Matemática nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, a partir de discussões sobre o Sistema de Numeração Decimal, no contexto de um grupo de trabalho de Orientadoras de Estudos do programa Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa (PNAIC). Como procedimento de coletada de dados foram adotados um questionário aplicado a Orientadores de Estudos desse programa, pertencentes ao polo de Santa Maria (RS); o acompanhamento dos encontros de formação continuada presenciais que abordaram o Sistema de Numeração Decimal em um dos grupos de trabalho e a realização de sessões reflexivas com professores Orientadores de Estudos desse grupo de trabalho. As respostas dos questionários serviram para levantar indicativos do que estes professores pensam sobre o Sistema de Numeração Decimal e o seu ensino. Os dados dos encontros de formação e das sessões reflexivas foram sistematizados em quadro unidades de análise - o professor como sujeito de sua formação; o conhecimento matemático como promotor de desenvolvimento do sujeito; a intencionalidade pedagógica como elemento da organização do ensino; e o compartilhamento como promotor da compreensão da complexidade da atividade pedagógica com o intuito de constituir episódios (Moura, 1992) para verificar em que medida os Orientadores de Estudos apresentaram mudanças de qualidade nos seu processo de formação. Concluímos que espaços de formação, como os oportunizados pelo PNAIC, podem se constituir como espaços de aprendizagem da docência para os professores envolvidos, em especial, se desenvolverem atividades formadoras que proporcionem o acesso ao conhecimento matemático como decorrência de um processo lógico-histórico; promoverem discussões sobre a organização do ensino com enfoque no aprendizado do aluno e favorecerem o desenvolvimento coletivo do grupo, a partir da compreensão do papel fundamental das relações sociais no desenvolvimento do indivíduo.
