The aim of the study was to establish how and compile educational relationship-focussed reading support strategies for educators to support learners who experience barriers to reading. The educator-learner relationship first had to be delineated by establishing the dimensions of the relationship, namely emotional, cognitive and value-driven activities that impact on the learner's feelings, knowledge and attitudes towards his or her world, and for the purpose of this study, how these pertain to the learner's reading development. Components of reading development, as well as barriers to reading and appropriate supportive reading activities were also described. The most essential reading skills are indicated to be a motivation to read, linguistic cueing in reading in terms of phonemic, morphemic, syntactic and semantic cueing, sight word recognition and comprehension. On this theoretical basis the reading support strategies were compiled encompassing reading and relationship-focused activities. Aims for achieving the relationship and reading skills were established, for which appropriate reading and relationship activities were then compiled. Qualitative research was implemented in the design and implementation of the reading strategies. Data were obtained from implementing the reading and relationship-focussed strategies, from learners' reading profiles, from educators' and learners' evaluation of the strategies, as well as from the researcher's own evaluation as a research participant. All the results were then triangulated to arrive at the findings of the research. These indicate that the reading and relationship activities will be successful if presented simultaneously, and with full cooperation by educators and learners alike. The contribution as well as the limitations of the research are indicated, and finally recommendations are provided. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Education))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2009.

A partir de interlocuções estabelecidas entre professores, gestores e alunos no desenvolvimento de um projeto de intervenção no ambiente escolar, procurou-se acompanhar o trabalho dos professores via semanários, sugerir atividades, realizar oficinas, explorando diversas experiências e possibilidades de trabalho com recursos tecnológicos, observando e registrando o desenvolvimento do projeto, que se efetivou em uma vivência participativa. As formas de interação e participação, as atividades significativas, a mediação do professor e da pesquisadora, os resultados e produtos do trabalho realizado, foram discutidos e compartilhados, buscando-se relacionar os pressupostos teóricos da perspectiva Histórico-Cultural assumida e a prática cotidiana dos professores em exercício, que experienciavam as possibilidades de integração das tecnologias no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Através do desenvolvimento da pesquisa observou-se que a apropriação e a utilização de instrumentos tecnológicos possibilitam o redimensionamento da prática educativa. / Abstract: This dissertation aims to evaluate conditions, interactions and impacts related to the integration of technological devices on teaching processes. Based on interlocution established between professors, managers and students when developing school environment interference projects, this project intended to follow professors work up through seminars, activities and workshops, surveying several experiences and work possibilities with technical resources, pointing project evolution out on a participatory life. The participation and interaction patterns, the relevant activities, the mediation of professor and researchers, the results and products reached were all discussed and shared in order to link theoretical conjectures of historic-cultural perspectives adopted and daily practices of professors when laboring, which have experienced the integration possibilities of technologies on teaching and learning process. Through the research process it was possible to observe how the appropriation and utilization of technological instruments contribute to the redimensioning of educational practice. / Mestrado / Psicologia Educacional / Mestra em Educação

Based in a referential of authors from Europe, such as Agazzi, Braido, Gauthier, Lenoir, Morin, Penati, Sersale e Pinau, and from Brazil, Freire, Japiassu and, mainly, Fazenda, it seeks initially a critical history overview of european published works from the 60s to the 90s about questions of interdisciplinarity in education, when this proposal started to be studied. It describes an educational intervention during some 20 years starting from a reverberation of a dream from Dom Bosco. It shows ways for an interdisciplinary education, breaking through a cracked vision of knowledge built from the reflexion of the interdisciplinary education process in different steps. It comes up with the vision of a graduated educator, able to create an environment in which faith, culture and life are put together by the educative relations. It is an investigation here called researchaction- intervention where the context of a christian education, its limits and possibilities are considered. The methaphor of Dom Bosco`s dream appears in the whole process as something that goes along with all the way. The research points out the importance of planning that when it is built and followed carefully, it reaches interdisciplinary moments where is faced up questions like, for example, the strong competition that exists at school. This study shows that it is possible to get the curricular transformation, bringing back the pastoral dimension and the role of the educator that goes beyond the simple tranmission of knowledge, seeking the evangelical way of the culture where the recuperation of the being sense is questioned continuously. Faith, culture and life gets together in everyday`s life / Este estudo objetiva investigar o nascimento, a evolução e os primeiros resultados de uma prática educativa interdisciplinar.

Descreve uma intervenção educativa ao longo de 20 anos a partir da reverberação de um sonho de Dom Bosco. Propõe caminhos para uma educação interdisciplinar, rompendo com a visão fragmentada do saber construído a partir da reflexão sobre o processo de educar interdisciplinarmente em suas diferentes etapas. Pressupõe um educador formado, capaz de criar um ambiente no qual fé, cultura e vida se integram pelas relações educativas. Trata-se de uma investigação aqui denominada pesquisa-ação-intervenção onde o contexto da educação cristã e salesiana, seus limites e possibilidades são considerados. A metáfora do sonho de Dom Bosco revela-se na tessitura do processo como algo que inicia e percorre todo o caminho. A pesquisa evidencia a importância do planejamento que ao ser construído e acompanhado, cuidadosamente, atinge momentos interdisciplinares onde são enfrentadas questões como, por exemplo, a competição velada existente na Escola. O estudo mostra que é possível a transformação curricular, resgatando a dimensão do pastoreio e o papel do educador que vai além da mera transmissão do conhecimento, buscando a evangelização da cultura onde a recuperação do sentido do existir continuamente é questionada.

Every person (also the learner) has a need to fulfill his full potential. To be successful in fulfilling one's potential, the learner needs the accompaniment of an adult, as no person can reach selfactualisation without this accompaniment. The way in which the adult (parent) accompanies the learner, is of utmost importance. If the parent commits an educational error by not putting the educational essences into practice, it can lead to intrinsic barriers to learning, which manifests as learning problems, or specific educational needs, in a learner. Research was conducted to determine the accompaniment role of parents with children who experience barriers to learning, in Grade 4 - 7, in the Vanderbijlpark district. The aim was to determine the extent to which parents apply the educational essences to their children (learners) who experience barriers to learning. The main conclusion from the research is that the majority of parents do apply some of the educational essences. It is clear however that some parents omit I neglect to put the educational essences into practice, or make errors in educating their children. Recommendations are offered with regard to ways in which parents can apply the educational essences to their children (learners) who experience barriers to learning as well as towards further research in this regard. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004

Abstract This research examines stories told by beginning teachers’ and asks what kinds of tensions characterise their work? In earlier research tensions have been seen as personal, but here the emphasis is on how they are embedded and born in the interaction between the teachers and the relational and micropolitical environments of their schools. Tensions refer to situations, where teachers do not know how to act correctly, when two or more values or views conflict and several possible justifiable courses for action exist. Tensions are not emotions, but they are often accompanied by a strong emotional experiences. Tensions are often seen just as problems, but they can also contribute to professional growth. The empirical part is based on the basic view in narrative research, where telling stories is understood as a means through which people make sense of themselves and the world around them. The main research material are stories produced in interviews with sixteen (16) Japanese beginning teachers. For one sub-study, interviews with seven (7) senior teachers and field notes in one junior high school were also produced. In the analysis, holistic reading of individual stories, multi-voiced analysis of one narrative environment and a more traditional thematic analysis were utilised. The results show how the tensions in beginning teachers’ work are connected to their ideals on being a good teacher conflicting with expectations in the micropolitical environment of the schools. As a junior, the beginning teacher is expected to assume an obedient position with their seniors. The results also show how the views on being a good teacher emphasize putting common interests and responsibilities over personal matters. By acting against the expectations, the beginning teacher may risk harming the very important collegial relationships and therefore often decides to give up his or her ideals. The tensions are therefore born from the teacher having to give up his or her ideals and assuming opposing views. Learning how to deal and live with these relational and micropolitical tensions is connected to teacher well-being and attrition. Therefore, it is recommendable that tensions are paid sufficient attention to in both teacher education and in the schools. / Tiivistelmä Tutkimukseni tarkastelee aloittelevien opettajien tarinoita ja vastaa kysymykseen: millaiset jännitteet luonnehtivat heidän työtään? Aiemmassa tutkimuksessa jännitteitä on pidetty henkilökohtaisina, mutta tässä tutkimuksessa painotetaan sitä, kuinka ne kietoutuvat ja syntyvät opettajien ja heidän koulujensa sosiaalisen ja mikropoliittisen ympäristön välisessä vuorovaikutuksessa. Jännitteet viittaavat tilanteisiin, joissa opettajat eivät tiedä miten toimia, kun erilaiset arvot ja näkemykset ovat ristiriidassa ja perusteltuja toimintatapoja on useita. Jännitteet eivät ole tunteita, mutta niihin liittyy usein voimakkaita tunnekokemuksia. Usein niitä pidetään vain ongelmina, mutta ne voivat myös olla lähtökohtana ammatilliselle kasvulle. Tutkimuksen empiirinen osa rakentuu kerronnallisen tutkimuksen perusajatukselle tarinoiden kerronnasta kertojan tapana rakentaa ymmärrystä itsestä ja ympäröivästä maailmasta. Pääaineistona ovat kuudentoista (16) japanilaisen aloittelevan opettajan kanssa haastatteluissa tuotetut tarinat. Yhtä osatutkimusta varten myös haastateltiin seitsemää (7) kokenutta opettajaa sekä tuotettiin kenttämuistiinpanoja eräällä yläasteella. Analyysissä käytettiin niin holistista lukutapaa, moniäänistä kerronnallisen ympäristön analyysia kuin perinteistä temaattista sisällönanalyysiäkin. Tulokset osoittavat aloittelevien opettajien työn jännitteiden liittyvän siihen, kuinka heidän ihanteensa hyvästä opettajuudesta kohtaavat koulun mikropoliittisessa ympäristössä näiden ihanteiden kanssa vastakkaisia odotuksia. Aloittelevan opettajan oletetaan ottavan juniorina alisteisen aseman suhteessa senioreihin. Tulokset osoittavat myös, että näkemyksissä hyvästä opettajasta korostuu yhteisten velvoitteiden asettaminen opettajan henkilökohtaisten näkemysten edelle. Toimimalla näitä odotuksia vastaan aloitteleva opettaja saattaisi vaarantaa työn kannalta tärkeitä kollegasuhteita ja päätyy siksi usein luopumaan ihanteistaan. Tällöin jännite syntyy siitä, että aloitteleva opettaja joutuu ihanteidensa sijaan omaksumaan niiden vastaisia näkemyksiä. Näiden jännitteiden kanssa eläminen ja käsitteleminen kietoutuvat niin opettajien hyvinvointiin kuin työssä pysymiseen. Tämän vuoksi niihin tulisi kiinnittää riittävästi huomiota sekä opettajankoulutuksessa että työelämässä.
