This study was conducted to investigate the change in pre-service teacher education in Turkey by using Chaos Theory. The research questions were the following: 1) How did the 1982 restructuring relate to the 1998 restructuring? (2) What were the reasons for the anomalies that led to the 1998 restructuring? (3) How did the 1998 process of transformation work? (4) At which stage of the curve is the system now? (5) What are the possible paths the new model may evolve? The data sources in this qualitative research study were interviews and documents. The 28 participants of the interviews included some key decision-makers at related institutes and some academic staff at 8 different Education Faculties in Ankara, EskiSehir, Bolu, Adana, and KirSehir. The written documents included some relevant reports, meeting minutes, the proceedings of conferences and panel discussions, research articles, and some articles of four different newspapers in Turkey. A model of &lsquo / Change as Chaotic Transformation&rsquo / was designed by the researcher as a theoretical framework. The data, subjected to a content analysis, revealed that the logic of chaotic transformation has significant implications in investigating and understanding the stability versus instability phases in teacher education affairs in Turkey / roughly 1950s - 1970 (evolution and stability), 1970s (disequilibrium and turbulence), 1982 &ndash / early 1990s (&lsquo / forced stability&rsquo / ), and mid-1990s to 1998 (turbulence and transformation) are significant phases in this sense. The data also revealed that the reasons for the anomalies that led to the 1998 restructuring were in both program and administrative issues. Further, the process of transformation in 1998 was &lsquo / self-organization.&rsquo / It is found that presently the 1998 model is perceived as not yet institutionalized / the achievements in program issues realigned teacher education to its &lsquo / identity&rsquo / , but the path the new model may evolve depends on the clarification and institutionalization of &lsquo / governance&rsquo / and implementing strategies for developing &lsquo / human resources&rsquo / (the teacher educator profile).

This thesis develops a critical realist explanatory critique of alternative schooling programs for youth at risk taking place at three case study sites. Throughout the thesis the author pursues the question, \Are alternative provisions of schooling working academically and socially for youth at risk?. The academic lens targets literacy learning and associated pedagogies. Social outcomes are posited as positive social behaviours and continued engagement in learning. A four phased analysis, drawing on critical realism, interpretive and subject specific theories is used to elicit explanations for the research question. An overall framework is a critical realist methodology as set out by Danermark, Ekstrom, Jakobsen and Karlsson (2002, p. 129). Consequently phase one describes the phenomena of alternative schooling programs taking place at three case study sites. This is reported first as staff narratives that are resolved into imaginable historical causal components of \generative events., \prior schooling structures., \models of alternative schooling., \purpose., \individual agency., and \relations with linked community organisations.. Then transcendental questions are posed about each component using retroduction to uncover structures, underlying mechanisms and powers, and individual agency. In the second phase the researcher uses modified grounded theory methodology to theoretically redescribe causal categories related to a \needed different teaching and administrative approach. that emerged from the previous critique. A transcendental question is then applied to this redescription. The research phenomena are again theoretically redescribed in the third phase, this time using three theoretically based constructs associated with literacy and literacy pedagogies; the NRS, the 4 Resources Model, and Productive Pedagogies. This redescription is again questioned in terms of its core or \necessary. components. The fourth phase makes an explanatory critique by comparing and critiquing all previous explanations, recontextualising them in a wider macro reality of alternative schooling. Through this critical realist explanatory critiquing process, a response emerges not only to whether alternative provisions of schooling are working, but also how they are working, and how they are not working, with realistically based implications for future improvement.

The problem of this study was to determine through a review of the literature the reliability and validity of using student, alumni and faculty perceptions of program quality as criteria in the evaluation of off-campus programs, developing data gathering instruments to obtain these perceptions, administering the instruments, and determining if there were significant differences in the ratings within and between the three groups.

A partir do conceito de Projetos de Letramento (KLEIMAN, 2000; TINOCO, 2008), da noção de Sistemas de Atividade (RUSSELL, 1997) e da concepção dialógica e social de linguagem de Bakhtin (1981; 2000; 2002) e Bakhtin/Volochinov (1995), este trabalho tem como objetivo geral investigar as implicações que um Projeto de Letramento como o que envolve a produção de um Jornal Escolar tem na reconfiguração da aula de língua portuguesa - especialmente no que se refere ao ensino dos gêneros, em geral, e dos gêneros argumentativos, em particular -, bem como a influência desse processo na formação continuada do professor. Esteada na concepção bakhtiniana dos estudos da linguagem, a pesquisa assume que as práticas sociais devem nortear o ensino de língua no contexto escolar (DEWEY, 1947; KLEIMAN, 2000; 2006a) e, por isso mesmo, sugere que a reprodução de outros sistemas de atividades dentro do sistema de atividade escolar insere-se nessa perspectiva. A análise dos dados mostra que a reprodução, na escola, do sistema de atividade jornalístico por meio de um projeto de letramento provoca uma reconfiguração da aula de língua materna e do ensino de gêneros. Isso ocorre porque os alunos passam a desenvolver atividades diversificadas com motivações e objetivos outros que não aqueles típicos de um sistema de atividade escolar, mas que viabilizam, ao mesmo tempo, a efetivação de propósitos estritamente escolares, entre os quais o ensino/aprendizagem de gêneros diversificados, sobretudo, os argumentativos. Além do letramento do aluno, os dados evidenciam que o projeto de produção do Jornal Escolar contribuiu para a formação da consciência crítica e cidadã dos alunos ao mobilizar uma multiplicidade de vozes sociais que encaminharam para a reflexão e resultaram em uma compreensão expandida do mundo que os cerca. Finalmente, a análise revela que o projeto do jornal contribuiu também para a formação continuada da professora colaboradora, que, ao participar desse processo, fez emergir uma nova representação de educadora, traduzida no conceito de agente de letramento, no qual de simples mediadora do conhecimento passa-se à condição de alguém que mobiliza recursos e pessoas, de acordo com suas capacidades e heterogeneidade, visando a uma ação coletiva / Abstract: This is a collaborative research of qualitative nature, that had as its object the production of two school newspapers in collaboration with a Portuguese teacher and her high school students in a town in the state of São Paulo, between March 2006 and June 2007. Using the concept of Literacy Project (KLEIMAN, 2000; TINOCO, 2008), the notion of Activity Systems (RUSSELL, 1997) and the dialogic and social conception of language by Bakhtin (1981, 2000, 2002) and Bakhtin/Volochinov (1995), this study aims at investigating the implications of project involving the production and publication of a school newspaper on the reconfiguration of Portuguese language classes - especially regarding the teaching of genres and, above all, argumentative genres - as well as the influence of this process for training in service teachers. Drawing on Bakhtinian conception of language studies, the research assumes that social practices should guide the teaching of language in school context (DEWEY, 1947; KLEIMAN, 2000, 2006a) and suggests that the recreation of other activities systems within the school activity system is part of that perspective. The data analysis shows that the recreation, at school, of the journalistic activity system by means of a literacy project causes a reconfiguration of language classes and genre teaching. This occurs because students start to develop diversified activities with motivations and purposes other than those typical of a school activity system, even though this process leads, at the same time, to the achieving of strictly educational purposes, including teaching and learning various genres, especially the argumentative ones. Beyond students' literacy, data show that the project contributed to the formation of students' critical consciousness and citizenship, by mobilizing a multiplicity of social voices that lead to debate and result in an expanded comprehension of the world around them. Finally, the analysis reveals that the newspaper project also contributed to in-service education of the collaborating teacher who, in order to participate in this process, created a new representation of herself as an educator, represented by the concept of literacy agent in which a single knowledge mediator is transformed into an agent who can mobilize resources and people, according to their capacities and heterogeneity, for collective action / Doutorado / Lingua Materna / Doutor em Linguística Aplicada

Este estudo relata a geraÃÃo e sistematizaÃÃo de conhecimentos, levando a reflexÃes conceituais, teÃricas e aplicadas da avaliaÃÃo de programas educacionais e de educaÃÃo corporativa. A problemÃtica envolve duas perguntas: 1) Que modelos de avaliaÃÃo de programas educacionais e de educaÃÃo corporativa vÃm sendo divulgados e descritos na literatura em lÃngua portuguesa e inglesa, a partir do modelo apresentado por Kirkpatrick (1959)?; e 2) Esses modelos tÃm demonstrado consistÃncia teÃrica, em termos de elementos e fases que os compÃem, ou hà novas formas de avaliar programas de educaÃÃo corporativa? O objetivo geral desta dissertaÃÃo envolve a apresentaÃÃo, anÃlise e comparaÃÃo dos modelos de avaliaÃÃo de programas educacionais e de educaÃÃo corporativa presentes na literatura em lÃngua portuguesa e inglesa, produzidos a partir de 1959, e que tÃm sido apresentados como instrumentos voltados para avaliaÃÃo de programas educacionais e educaÃÃo corporativa. Esta dissertaÃÃo foi elaborada com base na metodologia quadripolar, composta dos pÃlos: epistemolÃgico, teÃrico, morfolÃgico e tÃcnico. O pÃlo epistemolÃgico fundamenta-se na filosofia Bachelardiana, a qual admite que a ciÃncia e seu objeto nÃo sÃo dados, mas se encontram em construÃÃo; logo, o objeto a ser analisado à flexÃvel a revisÃes e proposiÃÃes de melhoria. O pÃlo teÃrico aponta que a avaliaÃÃo de programas de educaÃÃo corporativa faz parte de um campo de estudo recente, com contribuiÃÃes em maior quantidade nos efeitos da aprendizagem no desempenho dos treinandos, pouco se investigando sobre os efeitos no grupo, unidades de trabalho e organizaÃÃes. Apresenta, tambÃm, contribuiÃÃes mais recentes da literatura em lÃngua inglesa aos modelos de avaliaÃÃo de programas de educaÃÃo corporativa a partir de Kirkpatrick e Hamblin. No pÃlo morfolÃgico sÃo descritos seis modelos de avaliaÃÃo de programas educacionais, quinze modelos de avaliaÃÃo de programas de educaÃÃo corporativa e um modelo de avaliaÃÃo de programas multinÃvel. O pÃlo tÃcnico apresenta a metodologia empregada (pesquisa bibliogrÃfica, com anÃlise de conteÃdos), a anÃlise dos modelos de avaliaÃÃo de programas de educaÃÃo e educaÃÃo corporativa, e cinco estudos secundÃrios. As consideraÃÃes finais referendam os pressupostos abordados neste trabalho, assinalando que: (1) pesquisas secundÃrias confirmaram que o sucesso de um curso em determinado nÃvel nÃo necessariamente produz o mesmo resultado nos nÃveis subseqÃentes, questionando-se, assim, o pressuposto teÃrico que supÃe relaÃÃes de causalidade ou correlaÃÃes positivas e estatisticamente significativas entre os diferentes nÃveis de avaliaÃÃo de programas educacionais dos modelos de Kirkpatrick e Hamblin; (2) constatou-se a inexistÃncia de estudos procurando explicar as ligaÃÃes entre os diferentes tipos de anÃlise (indivÃduo, equipe e organizaÃÃo). Para alcanÃar essa compreensÃo, seria necessÃria uma abordagem multinÃvel, confirmando-se, desse modo, o pressuposto de que hà outros modelos que explicam as relaÃÃes de causalidade e correlaÃÃes entre os diferentes nÃveis de avaliaÃÃo de programas de educaÃÃo corporativa; e, ainda, que (3) apesar dos modelos de avaliaÃÃo de programas educacionais serem diferentes, trazem no seu arcabouÃo os modelos referenciais de Kirkpatrick e Hamblin, validando-se, assim, o pressuposto de que ambos os modelos continuam servindo de base para a formulaÃÃo dos demais. / This study reports on the generation and systematization of knowledge, leading to conceptual reflections, both theoretical and applied, regarding the evaluation of educational programs and of corporative education. The issue involves two questions: 1) Which models of evaluation of educational programs and of corporative education have been brought to light and described in Portuguese and English literature since the model presented by Kirkpatrick (1959)? and 2) Have these models shown theoretical consistency as for the elements and phases that they comprise, or there are new ways to evaluate programs in corporative education? The overall objective of this dissertation involves the presentation, analysis and comparison of the models of the evaluation of both educational programs and programs in corporative education present in Portuguese and English literature, produced since 1959, and which have been presented as instruments aimed at the evaluation of educational programs and programs in corporative education. This dissertation was carried out on the basis of âquadripolarâ methodology which was composed of the following poles: epistemological, theoretical, morphological and technical. The epistemological pole is based on Bachelardian philosophy which assumes that science and its object are not given, but are on the process of being constructed; thus the object to be analyzed is flexible to be reexamined and open to propositions toward its betterment. The theoretical pole indicates that the evaluation of programs in corporative education is part of a field of recent study, with more significant contributions to learning effects on the performance of trainees, paying less attention to the investigation of the effects on the group, the work units and the organizations alike. Further, it presents more recent contributions in English literature to the models of evaluation of programs in corporative education from Kirkpatrick and Hamblin. At the morphological pole, six evaluation models of educational programs, fifteen models of evaluation of corporative education programs and one model of evaluation of multilevel programs are described. The technical pole presents the methodology used (bibliographic review, with content analysis), the analysis of evaluation models of programs in education and in corporative education, as well as five secondary studies. The final considerations confirm the assumptions studied in this work, by underlining that: (1) secondary research works have substantiated that success in a program at a given level does not necessarily bring about the same successful result at the subsequent levels, calling into question the theoretical assumption that causality relations or positive correlations, and statistically significant, among the different levels of evaluation of the educational programs in Kirkpatrick and Hamblinâs models; 2) it has been found out the nonexistence of studies attempting to explain the connections among the different types of analysis (individual, group and organizational). To reach such an understanding, it would be necessary to adopt a multilevel approach to confirm, in this manner, the assumption that there are other models that explain the relations of causality and correlations among the different levels of evaluation of programs in corporate education; and, further, that (3) even though the models of evaluation of educational programs may be different, they bring within their cores the referential models of Kirkpatrick and Hamblinâs, confirming thus the assumption that both models continue serving as the basis for the formulation of the others.

Esta pesquisa investiga as condições objetivas e os determinantes sociais que permitiram a alguns professores efetivos da rede estadual de São Paulo participar do Projeto Bolsa Mestrado. Tal projeto, desde 2004, faz parte das políticas de formação continuada oferecidas pela Secretaria de Estado da Educação de São Paulo (SEE), com o objetivo de fornecer aos seus integrantes a possibilidade de aprofundar conhecimentos de natureza teórica e prática que pudessem interferir positivamente em seu desenvolvimento profissional. Embora se apresente como universal, pelo fato de ser aberto a todos os 125 mil docentes efetivos da rede estadual, menos de 2% deles se aventuram a participar do projeto, mostrando que a disposição para participar dessa iniciativa se enraíza em condições particulares de existência relacionadas diretamente com as condutas dos seus agentes adaptadas às condições das quais são produtos, em função de uma espécie de acordo existente entre as disposições dos agentes, advindas do âmbito familiar e dos demais processos de socialização sofridos ao longo da vida e as exigências do universo em que estão inseridos. Numa tentativa de compreender esse fenômeno, o presente trabalho, tendo como referência a teoria de Pierre Bourdieu, propõe-se a conhecer as características de alguns professores que participaram do Projeto Bolsa Mestrado, desvelando as condições que, no decorrer de sua trajetória, os levaram a constituir o interesse pelo desenvolvimento de uma pesquisa nesse nível. Na mesma perspectiva, pretende-se apreender os sentidos que esta experiência teve para esses agentes, averiguando se houve transformações em sua posição no campo educacional e relacionando essas transformações com dados que mostram a situação dos cursos de Mestrado no Brasil. Espera-se, assim contribuir para a identificação dos significados da realização do Mestrado para os agentes em questão. Por meio de entrevistas com quatro professores que participaram do Projeto Bolsa Mestrado e que atualmente são mestres, foi possível constatar que o capital cultural amealhado por cada um deles ao longo de sua trajetória resultou em relações específicas com o conhecimento e com a vontade de continuar estudando. Destaca-se que a conclusão do Mestrado possibilitou aos professores investigados estabelecer estratégias de distinção e de obtenção de capital simbólico, além de trazer melhorias em termos de capital cultural e econômico. Entretanto, esses ganhos não encontraram ressonância dentro da própria rede estadual, que não cria condições para a permanência desses professores em suas salas de aula. Esse quadro é agravado pela limitação dos ganhos materiais e simbólicos dos professores da rede estadual, dado o processo generalizado de desvalorização social da docência e ao lugar que esses professores ocupam no campo educacional. / This research investigates the objective conditions and the social determinants that allowed some teachers of São Paulos public education system to participated in the Bolsa Mestrado program. This program is part of the continued education policies offered by the Department of Education of São Paulo government in order to provide its members the opportunity to improve their knowledge and resulting in professional development. Although the program is presented as universal, opened to all 125 000 teachers of São Paulos public education system, less than 2% of them have enrolled. It shows that teachers disposal to participate in this program is based on specific conditions like, personal background, individuals personal dispositions, family influence and interpersonal relationship related to the environment theyre in. In attempt to understand this fact, the present work, with reference to Pierre Bourdieus theory, intends to investigate the characteristics of some teachers who participated in the program. This work also reveals in which conditions postgraduate studies became interest in teachers career and intend to understand the meanings of this experience for them by examining changes in their position in the educational system and relating these changes to master degree programs in Brazil. It is expected to identify the meaning of doing master degree. Through interviews with four teachers, all master\'s degree holders, who paticipated the program, it was established that the cultural capital amassed by each one of them throughout their careers resulted in specific relations between the knowledge and the will to continue studying. It can be observed that the master degree allowed teachers to establish strategies of distinction, achievement of symbolic capital and improvement in economic and cultural capital. However, these gains did not find resonance within the São Paulos public education system which does not create conditions for the teachers permanence in classrooms. This situation is aggravated by the limitations of material and symbolic gains, in a context of social devaluation of teacher expertise and of the positions these teachers occupy in the educational system.
