No. of bitstreams: 1 leila_cristina_gomes_alencar.pdf: 1944002 bytes, checksum: caf8f01df208b47efe5051e786a03fe5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-11-28 / This investigation is intended to contribute to the rhetoric studies of genre found in the specific professional context, that is, in written records aimed at the development evaluation of learning in the starting years of basic education. The specific objectives aim not only to show aspects of the rhetorical situation of production, reception, and circulation of genre in focus, but also to examine typical patterns and variations within the same genre. The theoretical foundations that guide the study are found in socio-rhetoric, according to theoreticians such as Charles Bazerman (2011, 2015), Carolyn Miller (2012), Bawarshi and Reiff (2013), and Bezerra (2011, 2012, 2017), among others. The presupposed theoreticians referred to are bound up around similarities regarding response to a wider concept of genre as social action. The corpus that supports the analysis consists of two reports on the development of learning (pedagogic assessment documentation) in relation to the last year of children education and the first year of elementary school. The analyses are backed up by heuristic genre analysis presented by Bawarshi, Reiff and Amy Devitt (2004), found in Scenes of Writing: Strategies for Composing with Genres. As for results, records are made around the production and use of the genre; the description of patterns and variations that are typical of the genre, without overlooking the intergeneric relationship. At this stage, it is worth mentioning the interrelationship between genre and context by means of shared cues and the concept of sets of genre. In this scenario, we must highlight the interactive processes, the discursive flow typified in the relationship between the individual and the collective, the coherence between the records and the objectives of the genre, the attempt at attracting and engaging those who read by those who write, with a focus on the objective to be reached, among other propositions systematized by the analysis. The studies reveal, among other propositions, that the choice of what should be recorded is typified by the context of production and use, that is, the acts of writing as product and process in social action in professionally located. In short, the studies and systematizations applied show potential to broaden the research field of professional writing – specifically - related to the writing of basic education teachers, documented in a learning development and evaluation report. / Esta investigação pretende contribuir com os estudos retóricos de gêneros situados no contexto profissional específico, ou seja, em registros escritos destinados à avaliação do desenvolvimento das aprendizagens nas séries iniciais da educação básica. Os objetivos específicos visam não só a indicar aspectos sobre a situação retórica de produção, de recepção e de circulação do gênero e do conjunto do gênero em foco, bem como a examinar padrões típicos e variações dentro do mesmo gênero. A fundamentação teórica que baliza o estudo se localiza na sociorretórica segundo as proposições de teóricos como Charles Bazerman (2011, 2015), Carolyn Miller (2012), Bawarshi e Reiff (2013) e Bezerra (2011, 2012, 2017), entre outros. Os pressupostos teóricos referidos se entrelaçam por meio de similaridades a responder ao conceito mais amplo de gênero como ação social. O corpus a respaldar a análise é composto de dois relatórios de desenvolvimento das aprendizagens (documentação pedagógica avaliativa) referentes ao último ano da educação infantil e ao primeiro ano do ensino fundamental. As análises estão respaldadas na heurística de análise de gêneros apresentada por Bawarshi, Reiff e Amy Devitt (2004), localizada no Scenes of Writing: Strategies for Composing with Genres. Quanto aos resultados, inscrevem-se em torno da identificação do cenário de produção; da descrição da situação de produção e uso do gênero; da descrição de padrões e de variações característicos do gênero, sem se perder de vista a relação intergenérica. Nesse ponto, ressalta-se a interrelação entre gênero e contexto por meio de pistas compartilhadas e do conceito de conjunto de gêneros. Em tal cenário, destacam-se os processos interativos, o fluxo discursivo tipificado na relação entre o individual e o coletivo, a coerência dos registros com os objetivos do gênero, a tentativa de atratividade ao engajamento de quem lê por aquele que escreve com foco no objetivo a alcançar, entre outras proposições sistematizadas pela análise. Os resultados revelam, entre outras proposições, que as escolhas sobre o que registrar se apresentam tipificadas pelo contexto de produção e de uso, isto é, os atos de escrita como produto e processo em ação social profissionalmente localizada. Em suma, os estudos e as sistematizações aplicadas indicam possibilidade a ampliar o campo de pesquisa acerca da escrita profissional, especificamente, relacionada à escrita de professoras na educação básica, registrada em relatório avaliativo do desenvolvimento das aprendizagens.

Despite having a successful physical education program at Etiwanda Intermediate School the need still remains for a written curriculum that ties in with the California State Framework (1994). The development of this project represents the beginnings of the goal of a written curriculum at Etiwanda Intermediate School. This will be an on-going process, through use of needs assessment surveys, including the teachers at all levels, focus on teaching practices, plenty of hands-on practice, and incentives for teachers. There is also an evaluation form to meet the needs in the ever-changing world of physical education.

This study investigated what constitutes a moral development program in Buddhist temple preschools in Thailand. The researcher employed three qualitative methods: structured, in-depth interviews, observations of teachers' instruction, and document analysis of curriculum guides. Four Buddhist temple preschools were selected as the sites. Participants for interview included three abbots and one head nun, four principals, and twelve teachers. Participants for observations included four teachers of third year classes in each preschool. The study concentrated on four research questions: (a) what are the elements of the character education curriculum? (b) How do teachers teach moral development concepts and skills? (c) What are the teachers' perceptions of the moral development of third year preschoolers? (d) How do teachers assess their pupils' moral development? Key findings for the research questions were: character education was not a subject in the National Preschool Curriculum which was implemented in the Buddhist temple preschools. Core morality was integrated into every topic. The moral behaviors emphasized in the curriculum and the lesson plans included discipline, mindfulness, kindness, helpfulness, patience, honesty, respect, thriftiness, and politeness. The Buddhist concept of the process of moral development includes character education and meditation. The preschoolers were trained to pay respect to teachers and parents as an obedience approach to character education. Preparation of teachers included screening for their values and pre-service training. The instruction of meditation was approached gradually and aroused the children's interest. After three years of schooling, the third year preschoolers were well-behaved, helpful, and kind; no aggressive behaviors were reported. The assessment of moral development of preschoolers was based on observation of the teachers throughout the school year. Implications for practice are discussed, including procedures for gathering information on beliefs, attitudes, and culture of the parents before implementation of different models of moral development. Finally, future research directions are proposed.

Sokol is a body movement organisation that has undergone many changes during its almost 160 years of existence and has been banned several times by the state power. However, she always cared for and supported Miroslav Tyrš`s legacy. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the offer of exercices for the age category of youngs in Sokol. Using a retrospective method, the history of Sokol over the last almost 160 years of its existence is briefly described. Based on a comparison of the ongoing number of divisions and the development of the membership base, the development from the renewal of Sokol in 1990 to the present years is evaluated, focusing on the selected age category. A questionnaire survey is chosen as the analytical method, which was sent electronically to the individual units. Based on the results of the questionnaire survey, previously established hypotheses were disproved or confirmed, which were based on academic work or other available literature. It is confirmed that the membership base of student categories has been growing since the 1990s, despite slight fluctuations. The most significant growth was in the period around the "Sokol slet", in which these age categories regularly participate. This was especially visible in the years around the 16th "Sokol slet" held in 2018 in Prague. The...

The importance of access to quality physical education (PE) among children is well-documented. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, resulted in significant shifts in PE curriculum delivery alongside a rapid uptake by PE teachers of new technologies. Although some research about integrating technology into teaching does exist, there is very little data about virtual learning in elementary school, particularly in the context of physical education. There are also clear gaps in the literature about teaching PE virtually during a pandemic. As such and in this study, I sought to fill a critical gap in the existing literature by identifying what specific factors shaped elementary physical education delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as barriers and facilitators to successful curriculum delivery, and I drew implications for future emergency response needs.This mixed-methods study examined elementary physical education teachers’ perceptions of teaching virtually during the spring of 2020 and/or 2020-2021 school year. The study’s sample drew on PE teachers from urban, rural, and suburban settings across the US, which included diverse experiences to explore teachers’ perceptions of virtual teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Surveys and focus groups were utilized. Results from this study elucidated that physical education teachers were challenged by limited space, equipment, internet use, and distraction within the environment when teaching. However, teachers in this sample also discussed their tenacity to help their students stay active by delivering supplies to families, posting on social media, and teaching how to make alternative equipment. Teachers also reported that the more support they received (for example, via social emotional support and also specific technology support), the less stress they felt during remote teaching. At the same time, the higher the teacher perception on live lesson participation, the more efficacious the teachers felt. The expectations of PE teachers during COVID varied from region to region, and the ever-changing schedules made teaching PE that more difficult. Although there has been some research on teaching virtually, before the pandemic there was very little research about specifically teaching elementary PE virtually. The need to pivot to remote instruction is part of our future. The implication of this work helps support the need for further education of public health goals. The need for a platform that supports PE and elementary age children is needed to best support this work. Using technology as an enrichment and supplement for PE to help reach this goal could be a positive outcome of this pandemic. The use of virtual platforms will also help deliver PE content to families and allow for technology skill development through targeted practice for any future need to pivot to remote.

Within the last decade, handicapped students were routinely excluded from public schools (Cintron, 1983). Federal and state law now guarantee these children a free, appropriate public education. It is the task of school administrators to develop programs and policy to insure the rights of handicapped children. The goal of this research is to present a legal perspective for the teaching of handicapped children in physical education and offer specific recommendations for the successful implementation of educational programs for the handicapped. A policy analysis was performed with regards to the legal aspects of teaching the handicapped child in physical education with emphasis on due process as it applies to PL 94-142, a free and appropriate education under PL 94-142 placement in the least restrictive environment, and individual educational plan as it applied to physical education. The three major sources of American law (case law, statutory law, and administrative adjudication and decision) provided the base of data for this policy analysis. Significant case law was reviewed and analyzed with emphasis on recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Statutes presented include Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Public Law 94-142 and the reauthorization of Public Law 94-142. Administrative adjudications and decisions which have been handed down by various federal and state agencies were also presented. In order for school administrators to successfully implement the intent and spirit of the education of the handicapped regulations, the following guidelines have been recommended: 1. physical education services should be provided for handicapped students commensurate to those provided for non-handicapped students, 2. the needs of each handicapped child relating to physical education should be evaluated individually, 3. shcool administrators should insure that district and building policy interface with the procedural safeguards inherent in PL 94-142. 4, the extent of physical education services offered under PL 94-142 should be delineated in the individual educational progarm for each handicapped student.
