ABSTRACT Professors repeatedly warn students against burnout throughout the years of schooling that is required to earn a credential or license to work with persons who suffer from a substance use disorder. Despite these many warnings, burnout amongst practitioners continues to occur. There has been considerable research done over the years on the phenomenon of practitioner burnout, its causes and how to prevent it. Substance use disorder practitioners’ challenges often include high caseloads, difficult cases and lack of self-care. The data collected through an electronic server Survey Monkey allowed for a quantitative cross-sectional analysis which focused on participants’ perceptions of the causes of burnout and methods used for self-care. Respondents were recruited from two substance use disorder treatment programs, participation was voluntary. The analysis highlighted that the survey participants (n=30) view self-care as an appropriate intervention against burnout. These findings present: underlying causes of burnout; effective self-care practices for practitioners who are suffering from burnout; and how practitioners with higher education viewed self-care differently. Among the goals of the research done in this project was to bring awareness to; underlying causes of burnout; solutions to prevent burnout and effective techniques currently being used by practitioners that contributes additional knowledge to social work’s knowledge on burnout and self-care methods for practitioners experiencing burnout symptoms.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar o impacto da disciplina pedagógica como ferramenta para a formação específica, no caso, leitura e produção textual do futuro professor de língua materna enquanto em formação. Exercemos a função docente em uma universidade particular de Belém (PA), ministrando disciplinas da área pedagógica em cursos de formação de professores nas diversas licenciaturas e vimos percebendo a dificuldade dos alunos em ler com entendimento os textos acadêmico-científicos trabalhados na disciplina. Esse problema não é restrito aos acadêmicos em formação, como também, está presente nos demais níveis e nas modalidades de ensino da Educação Básica e Superior, como nos relata a mídia, ao falar do desempenho de alunos em diversos exames nacionais como o Exame Nacional de Ensino Médio (ENEM) e o Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), entre outros. O estudo foi realizado com alunos universitários que cursam o terceiro semestre do Curso de Língua Portuguesa de uma universidade particular do Pará, através de suas anotações em diários de aprendizagem, no decorrer das aulas da Gestão da Sala de Aula. Ancoramos a pesquisa no diálogo com alguns autores que abordam a temática sobre leitura, produção textual, letramento e uso do diário, como instrumento para o autoconhecimento e, também, nos pressupostos teóricos na construção do conhecimento dentro da perspectiva sócio-interacionista e discursiva. Apoiamo-nos também no conceito de reflexão crítica e no uso do diário como instrumento de pesquisa. A metodologia adotada na pesquisa foi do tipo qualitativa, de natureza etnográfica e de cunho interpretativista. Dessa maneira, os diários de aprendizagem foram instrumentos metodológicos bastante coerentes na formação dos futuros professores, pois foram eles, os grandes responsáveis pelo estudo em sala de aula, ou seja, o meu corpus de pesquisa. Analisamos as marcas lingüísticas reveladoras da construção identitária dos alunos, isto é, como os alunos relatam em seus diários o modo de apreensão da disciplina para sua formação profissional. Os resultados obtidos, por meio das análises dos enunciados elaborados pelos sujeitos em seus diários, evidenciam a mudança de crença dos alunos, a valoração, a assertividade, a transitividade, o jogo passado presente e futuro e, a interação dos alunos, por meio da realização das multiplicidades de vozes que apareceram no debate. A construção de novos saberes deu-se através de atividades individual e coletiva, levando os alunos a se apropriarem de novas descobertas, estimulando-os a pesquisar mais. Os alunos vivenciaram novas experiências e perceberam a importância do letramento, da leitura e produção de escrita, como uma grande contribuição positiva para o desenvolvimento e fortalecimento de identificação profissional atual e futura. Os diários serviram como uma ponte que conseguiu unir as teorias com as respectivas práticas pedagógicas, desenvolvidas no contexto do ensino da leitura e da produção escrita, foco do trabalho do futuro professor. / This study aims to assess the impact of educational discipline as a tool for specific training, particularly, reading and textual production, for the future professor of mother tongue while in training. We exercise the teacher function in a private university in Belém (PA), ministering disciplines in the educational area for training courses of teachers in different degrees, and we realized the students difficulty to read and understand the academic and scientific texts from the discipline. This problem is not restricted to academics in training, but also, is present in other forms of education, basic and higher, as reported by many students performance national examinations as the National High School Examination (ENEM) and the "Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), among others. The study was conducted with university students who study the third semester of Portuguese Language Course, in a private university in the state of Pará, through your personal notes in learning diaries, during the lessons of Classroom Management. The research was based in some authors that address the topics; reading, textual production, literacy and the daily use as a tool for self-knowledge and also in theoretical assumptions in the construction of knowledge within the socio-interactionist perspective and discursive. We also support the concept of critical thinking and the use of the learning diaries as a search tool. The methodology adopted in the research was qualitative, with ethnographic nature and based on interpretation. Therefore, the learning diaries were used as methodological tools of learning were fairly consistent in the training of future teachers because they were largely responsible for the study in the classroom, our object of research. We analyzed the revealing linguistic marks from the pupils identity construction that is, as the students reported in their learning diaries how to contain the discipline to their professional formation. The results obtained by the analysis of texts in the students diaries, highlight the change of belief, valuation, assertiveness, transitivity, the game past present and future, the interaction of students through the implementation of multiplicities of voices that appeared during the discussion. The construction of new knowledge happened through individual and collective activities, leading students to take ownership of new discoveries, encouraging them to research more. Students had new experiences and realized the importance of literacy, reading, writing production, as a great positive contribution to the development and strengthening of current and future professional identification. The diaries served as a bridge to unite the theories with their teaching practices, developed for teaching of reading and writing production, the focus of future work of these teachers.

本研究旨在探討教育學門系所評鑑的理論和執行相關課題，並建構教育學門系所評鑑指標權重體系，提供執行教育學門系所評鑑之參考。經由文獻分析，初擬教育學門系所評鑑指標，選取系所評鑑委員和系所主管共計16人為研究對象，使用模糊德懷術建構教育學門系所評鑑指標體系架構，再以網絡分析法建立評鑑指標的相對權重體系。研究結果指出，教育學門系所評鑑指標體系包含行政管理、環境設備、課程規劃、教師教學、學生學習、專業表現、經營成效等七個向度和17個次向度與65項評鑑指標。最後，本研究針對主管教育行政機關、辦理教育學門系所評鑑單位、教育學門系所及後續研究者提出具體建議。 / The study explored the relevant theoretical foundation and practical issues about the evaluation for educational departments and graduate schools. The study also proposed an evaluation indicator weighting system for educational departments and graduate schools in higher education. By reviewing relevant academic literature, the preliminary evaluative indicators were proposed. Sixteen experts who are university program evaluators or chairpersons of departments and graduate schools were the testing samples. This study adopted the Fuzzy Delphi method to build a framework of the evaluation indicator system. In addition, the relative weight of each evaluation indicator was assessed by the Analysis Network Process. The results showed that the conceptual framework of the evaluation indicator system containing 7 dimensions, 17 sub-dimensions, and 65 indicators. The seven dimensions are administrative management, environment and equipments, curriculum planning, faculty’s teaching, student’s learning, professional performance, and operative outcomes. Finally, suggestions were proposed to educational authority, institutions of program evaluation, educational departments and graduate schools, and further researchers.
