This study explores the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) into teaching and learning within one Higher Education institution. The main question driving the study was: How is ICT integrated in the teaching and learning of mathematics, science and technology education (MSTE) in a Bachelor of Education programme? This is a case study of lecturers and students in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education. It makes use of questionnaires, interviews, field notes and document analyses to collect data. MSTE lecturers and students were assumed to be well versed in ICT usage and, therefore, well placed to assess its integration into teaching and learning. There were five main findings: First, that Mathematics, Science and Technology Education lecturers showed some ambivalence in their ontological and epistemological orientation to using ICT. Some leaned towards the instruction paradigm and used ICT as a tool for the transmission of knowledge; others leaned towards the learning paradigm, showing an awareness of the need to elicit discovery through ICT. Secondly, that lecturers’ understanding of ICT integration was oriented towards teaching and learning from technologies rather than with technologies. Thirdly, that processes of ‘pedagogical evolution’ were taking place, in terms of which there was a gradual but perceptible shift in the teaching and learning practice of both students and lecturers. Fourthly, there was no evidence to show that lecturers used ICT to promote innovative and creative teaching; in fact, students appeared to be more creative in using ICT resources, than lecturers. Fifthly, and finally, lecturers did not assign ICT-based tasks that promote conceptual understanding. They assigned tasks that asked students to extract and reproduce information from computers, without demonstrating understanding. When used in this way, ICT can, in fact, be de-skilling. From these findings, it can be concluded that ICT integration cannot be understood without exploring the ontological and epistemological orientations, as well as the theoretical orientations, at play in the teaching and learning situation. It is on the basis of these that people, that is, lecturers and students, make use of, ICTs to achieve desired goals. It is therefore recommended that, for the improvement of integration, there should be a greater emphasis on developing and sharing pedagogical expertise concerning ICT use in teaching and learning. It is recommended that a country-wide research survey should be undertaken, based on probability sampling and focussing on pedagogical issues in ICT integration in teaching and learning.

The faculty work area in the highen education has re-estructed in a substantial way. The flexibility of the hiring process has imposed itself in the private and publics IES. The hiring process of professors for substitution work has been increased and this forces a strong intensification of work hours not only in the environment but also affects the family and personal life furthermore there are no adequate working conditions, if we consider that, most of time the equipment and also the ergonomic conditions are inefficient and non-existent.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States and is one of the leading causes of cancer death among men of all races. However, African-American men are at particularly high risk. These men are diagnosed more often with prostate cancer, are diagnosed later, and are more than twice as likely to die from prostate cancer than are Caucasian men. A strategy to address this inequity was to develop a community based program that would reach this at risk population. The goal of the project was to develop an evidence-based, theory-supported education and referral program to promote prostate cancer prevention screening among African-American men utilizing New York community church settings. The resultant scholarly project aims to motivate the target population towards prostate cancer prevention screening as appropriate through the development of an evidence-based, theory-supported, community-focused education and referral program using self-efficacy theory. This project provides a program, grounded in self-efficacy, that will educate African-American men about prostate cancer, empower them with knowledge regarding risk, motivate them to seek preventative screenings, and obtain care if needed. An evaluation strategy was developed incorporating a post-test questionnaire to measure participant knowledge and self-efficacy along with a process for measuring referrals to local screening and treatment programs. The program will bring about positive social change through empowerment of a population of men suffering from disparate access to care resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Dissemination of the project will include presentations to the community church leaders and Caribbean healthcare professionals, as well as publication in Parish nursing journals.

No. of bitstreams: 1 3643.pdf: 19647341 bytes, checksum: a9bc4ab732e0263ea4ce28ea3f6ba6a2 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-02-24 / Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos / Throughout this dialogue we fetch describe and analyze the conceptions of an experienced teacher of Physical Education on Knowledge Teacher and about what, why and to what degree of proficiency of their students 3rd and 4th grades of Elementary School in a State School in São Paulo State, should know about physical education in their classrooms. For this, we rely on the following question: What, why and to what extent an experienced physical education teacher should know about the content in order to teach their students? And what, why and to what extent students Cycle II (3rd and 4th grades) of elementary school should know about this content? We keep the term "grades" because the school itself, at the time that there was monitoring, the nomenclature used for classes and, therefore, we recognize and value their provisions and curricular structures. Linked to the apprehension of these objectives also aim to perform analysis on educational indicators of professional development in teaching, which, emphasizing the processes of teaching and learning at school, could tell us, from the participant's response, aspects of the professional development of physical education teacher in their work context. In light of qualitative research, we used the technique to collect the semi structured interview. And to best to approach the phenomenon investigated, in addition to interviews, we conducted systematic visits to meet the participant's work context. We found that teachers have a profession that is eminently collective, but that also requires personal commitment and dedication, which indicates the need for autonomy and professional responsibility. As demonstrated by the participating teacher, professional development in teaching is an inherent element of the qualified performance in Physical Education as much sway over what each teacher intends to teach classes throughout the school. Beyond this specific area, we see it necessary for the Physical Education teacher to develop different strategies, using diverse methodologies and examples, optimize time and expand the opportunities for learning environments related to students' everyday life in and out of school, mobilize knowledge to that every child, every learner to appropriate the culture of body movement in a critical, independent and conscious. Amid all this process, it is the school community as a whole promotes opportunities, facilities and adequate periods for the development of teaching process, learning and teacher professional development. So it's important to establish analytical criteria, parameters and indicators that provide information contextualized these procedural elements. / Ao longo deste diálogo buscamos descrever e analisar as manifestações de um professor de Educação Física experiente sobre a Base de Conhecimento docente e sobre o que, por que e em que grau de proficiência seus alunos das 3ª e 4ª séries do Ensino Fundamental, em uma Escola Estadual do interior paulista, devem saber sobre a Educação Física nas suas aulas. Para tanto, baseamo-nos na seguinte questão de pesquisa: O que, por que e em que medida um professor de Educação Física experiente deve saber sobre os conteúdos para poder ensinar aos seus alunos? E o que, por que e em que medida seus alunos do Ciclo II (3ª e 4ª séries) do Ensino Fundamental devem saber sobre tais conteúdos? Mantemos o termo "séries" porque a própria escola, na época em que houve o acompanhamento, utilizava a referida nomenclatura para as turmas e, portanto, reconhecemos e valorizamos suas disposições e estruturas curriculares. Associada à apreensão destes objetivos, também almejamos realizar análises sobre indicadores educacionais de desenvolvimento profissional na docência, os quais, enfatizando os processos de ensinar e aprender na escola, poderiam nos revelar, a partir de respostas do participante, aspectos sobre o desenvolvimento profissional do professor de Educação Física em seu contexto de trabalho. Sob a luz das pesquisas qualitativas, utilizamos como técnica de coleta a entrevista semiestruturada. E para melhor nos aproximarmos do fenômeno investigado, além das entrevistas, realizamos visitas sistemáticas para conhecer o contexto de trabalho do participante. Observamos que os professores exercem uma profissão que é eminentemente coletiva, mas que também exige compromissos e dedicações pessoais, o que indica a necessidade da autonomia e da responsabilidade profissional. Assim como demonstrado pelo professor participante, o desenvolvimento profissional na docência é um elemento inerente à atuação qualificada na Educação Física Escolar tanto quanto o domínio sobre aquilo que cada professor se propõe a ensinar ao longo das aulas na escola. Além deste domínio específico, visualizamos ser necessário que o professor de Educação Física desenvolva diferentes estratégias de ensino, utilize exemplos diversificados, otimize o tempo e amplie os espaços de aprendizagens para ambientes relacionados ao cotidiano dos alunos dentro e fora da escola, mobilize conhecimentos necessários para que cada criança, cada aluno consiga apropriar-se da cultura corporal de movimento de maneira crítica, autônoma e consciente. Em meio a todo esse processo, cabe à comunidade escolar como um todo propiciar espaços, meios e períodos adequados ao desenvolvimento dos processos de ensino, aprendizagem e desenvolvimento profissional docente. Por isso se torna importante estabelecer critérios de análise, parâmetros e indicadores que forneçam informações contextualizadas destes elementos processuais.

Abstract The starting point of this formal-theoretical thesis is the didactic dilemma of language immersion. This means the emphasis on linguistics in prevailing research tradition, as well as the lack of theoretical basis in teaching practice. The thesis in theory consists of two parts and a didactic model, presented in the end. The base of the thesis structure and content have been the didactic questions what, why and how. The realization of these questions varies in different parts of the thesis from subject related to general didactics. The thesis analyses the didactic image of Swedish language immersion and from this concludes a culture-oriented didactic model, cultural pedagogic model. The basic elements of language immersion (functionality, overall coherence of comprehending information, the aim to develop child's linguistic awareness) form a natural part of cultural pedagogic model. Of the basic elements of language immersion can be concluded the basic factors of the model – culture, language, information, and (social) behaviour – which need to be taken account of equally in order to implement educational teaching. In the background of cultural pedagogic approach there is a certain concept of the relationship between a community and an individual. On community level it is a question of an identity being formed as well as individual's identification on the essence of prevailing culture. The problems of identity include the varied and complex values of the environment, which present the individual with challenges to which school must be able to respond. School has to develop its aims to support child's identity and self perception, both from the content and the operational point of view. When we ask, referring to Dewey's (1916) views, where the aim of the education is, answer is around us, in our environment. For this reason school should aim its operation to consider cultural factors. School operation should be both agreeable and significant. The basis needs to lie on considering the significant life functions in communication. Functionality as a word includes the possibility to pay attention to real individuality in education. Communication includes a concept of the essence of social behaviour. When we consider individual problems in supporting growth, it's a question of supporting child's inner personality, accepting child's essence. In practice adapting social and individual aspects in school life is enabled by uniting contents, such as in theme teaching. On functional level these culturally significant themes are implemented by means of project method. Making these didactically coherent curriculum themes concrete is the essential meaning of this thesis. / Tiivistelmä Tutkimuksen lähtökohtana on kielikylpyopetuksen didaktinen ongelma. Tällä tarkoitetaan vallitsevan tutkimustradition lingvistiikkapainotteisuutta sekä opetuksen käytäntöjen pedagogis-teoreettista perustelemattomuutta. Tutkimus on otteeltaan formaalis-teoreettinen ja se koostuu teoreettisesti kahdesta osasta sekä lopussa esitettävästä didaktisesta mallintamisesta. Tutkimuksen rakennetta jäsentävänä sekä sisältöä ohjaavana lähtökohtana ovat olleet didaktiset peruskysymykset mitä, miksi ja miten. Kysymysten konkretisointi työn eri osissa vaihtelee ainedidaktisesta yleisdidaktiseen. Tutkimuksessa jäsennetään teoreettisesti ruotsin kielen kielikylpyopetuksen didaktista kuvaa sekä johdetaan kulttuurisesti orientoitunut didaktinen malli, <b>kulttuuripedagoginen malli</b> . Kielikylpyopetuksen didaktiset peruselementit (toiminnallisuus, tiedonkäsityksen kokonaisvaltaisuus, lapsen kielellisen tietoisuuden kehittäminen) soveltuvat luontevasti osaksi kulttuuripedagogista ajattelutapaa. Näistä voidaan johtaa kulttuuripedagogisen mallin perustekijät – kulttuuri, kieli, tieto ja (sosiaalinen)toiminta – joiden tasapainoinen huomiointi opetuksessa mahdollistaa kasvattavan opetuksen toteuttamisen. Kulttuuripedagogisen ajattelutavan taustalla on tietty käsitys yhteisön ja yksilön välisestä suhteesta. Yhteisötasolla kyse on identiteetin muodostumisesta ja yksilön identifioitumisesta vallitsevan kulttuurin olemukseen. Identiteettiproblematiikkaan liittyy ympäristön moniarvoisuus ja kompleksisuus, jonka yksilölle so. lapselle asettamiin haasteisiin koulun on pystyttävä vastaaman. Koulun olisi kehitettävä sisällöllisiä ja toiminnallisia tavoitteitaan lapsen identiteettiä ja minuutta tukeviksi. Kun kysymme Deweyn (1916) näkemyksiin viitaten, missä kasvatuksen tavoite "sijaitsee", vastaus on ympärillämme, ympäristössämme. Siksi koulutoiminnan tulisi suuntautua kulttuuristen tekijöitten käsittelylle. Mielekkyyden lisäksi koulutoiminnan on oltava merkityksellistä. Sen on perustuttava kulttuurisesti merkityksellisten elämäntoimintojen käsittelyyn yksilöitten välisessä kommunikaatiossa. Toiminnallisuus sanana sisältää mahdollisuuden todellisen yksilöllisyyden huomiointiin opetuksessa. Kommunikaatio puolestaan sisältää käsityksen sosiaalisen toiminnan olemuksesta. Kun pohdimme yksilön problematiikkaa kasvun tukemisessa, kyse on lapsen sisäisen olemuksellisuuden tukemisesta, lapsen essentian hyväksymisestä. Kulttuuripedagogisen näkemyksen mukaan yhteiseen tavoitteeseen pyrkiminen, kulttuurisesti merkityksellisten elämäntoimintojen parissa, aidossa sosiaalisessa toiminnassa, antaa jokaiselle mahdollisuuden oman olemuksellisuuden toteuttamiseen. Käytännössä sosiaalisen ja yksilöllisyyden yhteensovittamisen koulun toiminnoissa mahdollistuu opetuksen sisällöllisen eheyttämisen, kuten teemakokonaisuuksien avulla. Toiminnallisesti näiden kulttuurisesti merkityksellisten teemojen toteuttaminen tapahtuu projektimetodin avulla. Tämän didaktisesti kokonaisvaltaisen ja opetussuunnitelmallisen tematiikan konkretisointi on tutkimuksen keskeinen tarkoitus.
