Como as pessoas percebem as outras é relevante no processo de ensino aprendizagem e nas interações sociais como um todo. Essas percepções definem a maneira com que as pessoas reagem umas às outras. Em particular, a avaliação da percepção de professores colabora na compreensão das atitudes do professor diante dos comportamentos de seus alunos. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a percepção de professores sobre a influência genética e ambiental em comportamentos relevantes no processo educacional: personalidade, inteligência, dificuldades de aprendizagem, problemas de comportamento e doenças mentais. Para tanto, o questionário The NatureNurture Question:Teachers perceptions of how genes and the environment influence educationally relevant behavior foi adaptado à língua portuguesa do Brasil e aplicado para 501 professores de todos os níveis de ensino, do estado de São Paulo. Os resultados demonstraram que os professores atribuíram influências genéticas e ambientais em proporções aproximadamente iguais considerando todos os domínios, personalidade e dificuldades e aprendizagem. Atribuíram maior influência genética à inteligência e doenças mentais, bem como maior influência ambiental aos problemas de comportamento. Metade dos participantes afirmou ter estudado aspectos da genética em sua formação para professor. A maioria dos professores declarou que ter um aluno com dificuldade de aprendizagem geneticamente influenciada afetaria seu método de instruí-lo. Os professores percebem que genes e ambiente criação são imprescindíveis nos comportamentos de seus alunos, reconhecendo, inclusive, a interatividade dos dois fatores, informações importantes para o delineamento de ações na formação dos mesmos possíveis intervenções no âmbito educacional. / How people perceive others are important in the educational process and social interactions at all. These perceptions define the way people react to each other. In particular, the evaluation teachers perception collaborates in the comprehension of teacher\'s attitudes towards the behavior of their students. The aim of this study was to evaluate teachers perception on the genetic and environmental influence on relevant behaviors in the educational process: personality, intelligence, learning difficulties, behavioral problems and mental illness. For this purpose, the questionnaire \"The Nature-Nurture Question: Teachers\' perceptions of how genes and the environment influence educationally relevant behavior\" was adapted to the Portuguese language in Brazil and applied to 501 teachers at all levels of education, the state of São Paulo. The results showed that teachers attributed genetic and environmental influences in approximately equal proportions considering all domains, personality difficulties and learning. They attributed greater genetic influence on intelligence and mental illness as well a greater environmental influence to behavior problems. Half of the participants declared to have studied aspects of genetics in their schooling to teacher. Most teachers stated that having a student with genetically influenced learning difficulty would affect his method to instruct. Teachers perceive that genetic and environment are essential for behaviors of their students, recognizing even the interaction of two factors. This information is important for the design of action in teacher education and possible interventions in the education sector.

Esta dissertação também apresenta os principais métodos de avaliação encontrados na literatura e o princípio de funcionamento dos sistemas TTS / Abstract: This thesis proposes, as main contribution, a new synthesized voice evaluation methodology. The method consists of a set of steps that seek to assist the assessor in the stages of planning, implementation and analysis of data collected. The method was originally developed to evaluate a set of synthesized voices to find the voice that best fits the environments for distance education using avatars. Relations between intelligibility, comprehensibility and naturalness were studied in order to know the factors to be considered to enhance the speech synthesizers. This thesis also presents the main evaluation methods in the literature and how TTS (Text-to-Speech) systems work / Mestrado / Telecomunicações e Telemática / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica

This thesis focuses on the transformation of identities of international master students attending Örebro University along with their perception of how this experience will affect their future. A qualitative content analysis of 10 semi-structured interviews was employed to explore the topic and answer the research questions. The thesis is guided by the theoretical background that stands on the synthesis of Jenkins’ perception of identity and the identity theory, supplemented by the understanding of international students as ‘student travellers’. The analysis of respondents’ narratives revealed that all aspects of their identity were affected. International students, throughout their stay abroad, live in a certain bubble as they distance themselves from the society on one hand and identify with the international students’ group on the other, affecting their social identity. However, before a new identity is formed and while the old one is being changed, the students experience a state of limbo during which uncertainty of roles emerges. Their person identity is influenced as well due to the international experience providing an opportunity to consciously alter some aspects of personality and, furthermore, to promote their independence, open-mindedness, and awareness of other cultures. Additionally, through contact with these other cultures, the international student develops into a person of two minds – international and of the country of their origin. In regards to the students’ perception of the future, the desire to stay international, to travel and live abroad is essential in creating something of a nomad life. Moreover, the respondents considered the international experience to have a positive impact on their career through an advantageous position over others along with the acquisition of an international network.

The collection and the use of data on the internet with e-learning purposes are tasks made by many people every day, because of their role as teachers or students. The web provides several data sources with relevant information that could be used in educational environments, but the information is widely distributed, or poorly structured. Also, resources on the web are diverse, sometimes with high quality, but sometimes not. These situations involve a difficult search of e-learning resources, and therefore a lot of time invested, because the search process – typing, reasoning, selecting, using resources, bookmarking, and so forth - is completely executed by humans, despite that some of them can be executed by computers. Linked data provides designed practices for organizing, and for discovering information using the processing power of computers. At the same time, the community of linked data provides data sets that are already connected, and this information could be consumed by people anytime as resources with e-learning purposesThe current article presents the findings of a master thesis that address the linked data techniques and also the techniques used by students when searching e-learning resources, using internet. The resources used by the students, as well as the sources preferred, will be comparing with the current resources offered by the linked data community. Likewise, the strategies and techniques selected by the students will be taken into account, in order to establish the basic requirements of an e-learning collaborative environment prototype.The outline of the thesis is:Chapter 2 discusses the research methodology as well as the constructing and administering the research survey in which the current thesis based the requirements elicitation. Chapter 3 lays the groundwork for the rest of the thesis by presenting the principles and terminology of linked data, as well as related work about the internet in education, availability of e-learning resources, and surveys about the use of the internet in e-learning resources searchingChapter 4 presents the investigation of the methods used by student for exploring and discovering e-learning resources through the data analysis and interpretation of the survey. Chapter 5 Introduces to the prototype design. It includes the prototype idea, the requirements specification using the data analysis of the survey, and the architecture of the e-learning collaborative environment using the assumptions reached in the literature review and the dereferencable URIs found in the linked open data cloud diagram. The design of components in the environment will be addressed in terms of UML diagrams. Chapter 6 Validates the requirements of the prototype.Chapter 7 Tackles conclusions of the master thesis project in order to find incomes for further research in the area. This chapter also shows the contributions e-learning world evaluation is based on the benefits indentified by using this approach and gives indications of what future work can be done to improve the results. The findings address the decision-making process for designing a new era of e-learning environments that enhance the selection of e-learning resources, taking into account the technology available, and the information around the World Wide Web.

Está estabelecido na literatura de neurociência que ocorrem transformações no encéfalo de animais, devido à neuroplasticidade; estas podem ser potencializadas de acordo com os ambientes nos quais o indivíduo interage, assim como o tipo de interação estabelecida por este. Na literatura, a aplicação do conceito de ambiente enriquecido para a prática experimental mostra resultados favoráveis e significativos na aprendizagem e desenvolvimento de animais. Neste estudo, buscou-se ampliar o conceito de ambiente enriquecido para o ambiente educacional de um centro de ciência. Investigar a interação de alunos do 5º ano da rede pública de ensino, em ambiente educacional de oficinas de construção de brinquedos oferecidas, no Centro de ciência Sabina: Escola Parque do Conhecimento (Santo André, SP), e possíveis aproximações com o conceito de ambiente educacional enriquecido, proposto neste estudo, constitui o objeto deste trabalho. Nesta investigação buscou-se destacar os componentes ambientais que influem no desempenho e na interação dos alunos durante as oficinas. A investigação, de natureza qualitativa, foi inspirada na metodologia de Estudo de Caso do tipo Etnográfico Aplicado à Educação, que indica a imersão do pesquisador no campo investigado para apreensão de relações e significados dos sujeitos, apenas realizada após longa permanência do pesquisador em campo. Foram utilizados como instrumentos entrevistas, gravação em áudio e em vídeo e adotado o diário de campo para registro das observações. Os dados mostraram incorporação de elementos conceituais de fenômenos observados durante a execução das oficinas, assim como busca ativa de explicação para compreensão desses fenômenos físicos identificados durante a interação dos alunos com os brinquedos. Por meio deste estudo, identificou-se a necessidade de considerar os ambientes educacionais em perspectiva integral, em seus componentes físico-estruturais e humanos. Em ambiente educacional, as aquisições por parte dos alunos não se restringem ao ensino e aprendizagem de conteúdos, mas também se realizam na mudança de atitudes e crenças, compreensão de fenômenos e aspectos do cotidiano, entendimento estético, identidade etc. Foi observado que alunos rotulados no ambiente escolar como aluno com distúrbios; com dificuldades de aprendizagem e ou comprometimento, no ambiente das oficinas de construção de brinquedos apresentaram desempenho e envolvimento tão bom ou melhor quanto os dos alunos considerados normais. O estudo destacou o papel do mediador e do professor como essencial na atividade, como parte dos elementos enriquecedores do ambiente de aprendizagem, em que sua expectativa em relação ao desempenho dos alunos, sua concepção de ensino e de aprendizagem e orientações oferecidas aos alunos influem significativamente no ambiente, condução da atividade e desempenho dos alunos. Desta forma, observamos que o ambiente de construção de brinquedos possui elementos que propiciam a aprendizagem, a interação e desenvolvimento dos alunos / It is well established in the literature of Neuroscience that transformations occur in the brain of animals due to neuroplasticity, these can be potentiated according to the environments in which the individual interacts, as well as the type and quality of interaction established by the individual. In the literature, the application of the concept of enriched environment for the experimental practice shows favorable and significant results in learning and development of animals. In this study, we sought to extend the concept of an enriched environment for the educational environment of a science center. To investigate the interaction of students in the 5th year of public school in the educational environment of workshops to build toys that are offered at the Centro de Ciência Sabina: Escola Parque do Conhecimento (Santo André, SP), and possible approaches to the concept of enriched educational environment, proposed in this study are the objective of this research. In this study we sought to investigate the environmental components that influence the performance and interaction of students during the workshops. The research, qualitative in nature, was inspired by the methodology of case study Ethnographic Applied to Education type which indicates the immersion of the researcher in the investigated field for seizure of relationships and meanings of the subjects performed only after long enough residence of the researcher in the field. Interviews, audio and video recording were used as instruments along with the field diary to record observations. The data showed incorporation of elements of the conceptual phenomena worked during the workshops, as well as an active search for an explanation for understanding these identified physical phenomena during the students\' interaction with the proposed toys. Through this study, we identified the need to consider the educational environments in a comprehensive perspective on their physical-structural and human components. In the educational environment, acquisitions of knowledge by students are not restricted to teaching and learning contents, but also take place by changing attitudes and beliefs, understanding of the phenomena and aspects of everyday life, aesthetic understanding, identity, etc. It was also observed that students labeled at school as a student with learning problems, in the environment of the workshops to build toys showed involvement and performance as good or better as the students originally considered normal. The study highlighted the role of the mediators and the teacher as essential in the activity as part of the elements enriching the learning environment, in which their expectations regarding the performance of the students, their conception of teaching and learning and guidance offered to pupils significantly affect the environment, conducting the activity and performance of students. Thus, we observed that the environment of building toys might have physical and human elements to promote learning and students interaction and so it might be considered as enriched environment

The diploma thesis deals with the educational environment relating to the development of conduct disorders in adolescent girls. These are mainly the educational environments of family and school, in respect of their importance for the socialization of the individual. The theoretical part first briefly characterizes the adolescent period in its bio-psycho- social aspects. Further it deals with the issue of conduct disorders, their classification, manifestation, but also the etiology or specifics of these problems in girls. In conclusion it offers insight into correlation between different characteristics of the educational environments and conduct disorders with a focus on the specifics in girls. The empirical part of the work aims to map the possible relationship between conduct disorders in girls and educational environment by the form of ten detailed case studies of girls aged fourteen to sixteen placed in institutional facilities. Both qualitative and quantitative methods have been used for this research. The diploma project contributes to understanding the psychological context of the problematic development of adolescent girls and brings new data into the wider monitoring project of educational environment in adolescents. In addition to the benefits of detailed case studies of girls that give...
