For this we propose the implementation of three Scenarios For Research (Skovsmose, 2008) by which carpenters feel invited to ask questions and to seek explanations within their sociocultural context. The methodological approaches used follow a qualitative research approach, with the use of techniques and procedures coming from ethnography, such as: observation, semi-structured interviews, field diary, photos and footage. Accordingly, we seek the critical-reflective deepening of different ways to understand and deal with the world mathematically, ie, knowing and doing mathematics from different social groups and that manifest themselves in non-academic and non-academic environments. This analysis emerge three categories: the first emphasizes the "do together" and "learning with others" a level of understanding beyond the practical and efficient collective work; the second category reflects the appreciation of knowledge through the oppression of the dominant power, and the third category in the dialogical process never finished, far from being tedious. New perspectives emerge from reflections that flow to a level of understanding of another reality under a critical eye, permeated of impartiality, which is intended to write another story people marked by exclusion and marginalization. / O presente estudo visa compreender os saberes e fazeres de um grupo de carpinteiros em Goiânia numa perspectiva etnomatemática de reconhecimento, valorização e potencialização de suas práticas profissionais no canteiro de obras. Para tanto propomos a realização de três Cenários Para Investigação (SKOVSMOSE, 2008) pelos quais os carpinteiros se sintam convidados a formular questões e a procurar explicações dentro do seu contexto sociocultural. Os caminhos metodológicos utilizados seguem uma abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa, sendo o uso de técnicas e procedimentos oriundos da etnografia, tais como: observações, entrevistas semiestruturadas, diário de campo, fotos e filmagens. Nesse sentido, buscamos o aprofundamento crítico-reflexivo das diferentes formas de entender e lidar matematicamente com o mundo, ou seja, o saber e o fazer matemático de grupos sociais distintos e que se manifestam em ambientes não escolares e não acadêmicos. Desta análise emergem três categorias: a primeira ressalta o “fazer juntos” e o “aprender com o outro” num patamar de compreensão para além do prático e eficiente trabalho coletivo; a segunda categoria reflete a valorização dos saberes em meio à opressão do poder dominante, sendo a dialogicidade a terceira categoria num processo nunca acabado, longe de ser fastidioso. Novas perspectivas emergem das reflexões que fluem para um patamar de compreensão da outra realidade sob um olhar crítico, permeado de imparcialidade, o qual pode se destinar a escrever uma outra história às pessoas marcadas pela exclusão e a marginalização.

Research and development is one of the technological indicators of developed countries. The vast majority of investment in this area comes from the private sector, it is therefore in the interests of each state to support the private sector investments in research and development. This thesis deals with the tax support of research and development in each of country of OECD. Subsequently the thesis describes tax incentive for research and development in the Czech Republic and the aim of the thesis is to test the hypothesis whether the tax incentive in Czech Republic has increased due to legislative changes effective from 1 January 2014.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis gathered survey data to investigate American willingness to participate in short-time compensation programs and what attributes found in other countries’ programs they find palatable. Because multiple workers in similar states were surveyed online, the data show what various workers need from a short-time compensation program.

Published Article / One of the main tasks of universities is to prepare students for an academic or professional career, and to make them responsible members of society by giving them the motivation and skills to create a better future. Education for Sustainable Development is a core feature of education in a university of the 21th century and in society. In a university, it has two aspects: firstly, to educate students and to help future academics to contribute to sustainable development, secondly, to contribute to sustainability and to spread education for sustainable development in the community. We consider examples of successful cooperation between the university and its stakeholders via projects that are relevant for education for sustainable development. We analyse the success factors and the educational and sustainability impacts of these projects.

Den här uppsatsen undersöker ett antal attityder till skollagens skrivning att utbildningen skall vila på vetenskaplig grund med syftet att få en bättre förståelse för vilka förutsättningar och uppfattningar och vilket utgångsläge som finns för lagens implementering. Emperin har hämtats från en totalundersökning med en kvantitativ enkät som har skickats ut till skolledare och lärare i skola och förskola i en mindre kommun. Svarsfrekvensen för undersökningen är 40 %. Datan har sedan analyserats och visas som deskriptiv statistik. Uppsatsen har en fenomenologisk utgångspunkt.   Resultatet visar att det överlag finns en positiv inställning till att använda forskning i skolan och förskola. Resultatet visar att samtal med kollegor är den största källan till forskning och att egen forskning är den källa som minst bidrar till en vetenskaplighet i skola och förskola. Studien visar att det som anses vara det största hindret för att använda forskning är tid och språkliga svårigheter. Undersökningen visar på en relativt låg vetenskaplig begreppsbas när det gäller kunskapsteorier och forskningsmetoder. Detta kan tyda på ett mindre utvecklat yrkesspråk. Diskussionens konklusion är att det kommer att fodras åtskilligt med ansträngning och kreativitet, både organisations- och kunskapsmässigt, för att skollagens skrivning skall kunna realiseras. / This paper investigates a number of attitudes to the formation of the Swedish School Law that education shall rest on a scientific base with the aim of getting a better understanding of which conditions and startingpositions these are for the implementing of the law. The basic data have been taken from a quantitative total survey which has been sent to school leaders and teachers on schools and pre-schools in a smaller commune. The response rate of the survey is 40 %. Then the data have been analysed and shown as descriptive statistics. The paper has a phenomenogical starting-point. The result shows that, generally, there is a positive attitude to using research in school and pre-school. The result indicates also that conversation with colleagues is the most important source of research and that one´s own research is the source that least contributes to scientific thinking in school and pre-schools. The study shows that what is considered to be the biggest obstacle for using research is lack of time and linguistic difficulties. The study points at a relatively low scientific base of conception concerning theories of knowledge and research methods. This can indicate a less developed professional language. The conclusion of the study is that much effort and creativity will be demanded concerning both organisation and knowledge in order to realize the formulation of the school law.

Despite the demand for a diverse STEM-educated population and workforce, college students have consistently turned away from these disciplines in large numbers, creating a persistent problem that many are trying to address. The aim of the National Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program is to inspire, attract, and retain STEM majors. Funding supports undergraduate STEM students' engagement in real-world research alongside STEM mentors. As colleges and universities compete for funding for REUs, it is important to understand the mechanisms within summer research programs that resonate most deeply with undergraduate STEM researchers. While many studies reveal strong correlations between research experiences and STEM aspirations, less is known about the mechanisms within REU programs that support these gains. My research used quantitative and qualitative self-reported data from 20 REU students, 18 of whom were underrepresented minorities in STEM. Over two summers, these students, in cohorts of ten, came to the University of Vermont to participate in a team-oriented, 10-week REU: Interdisciplinary Research on Human Impacts in the Lake Champlain Ecosystem. Two mixed-methods studies, guided by the frameworks of the theory of possible selves, theory of self-efficacy for research, and social cognitive career theory, revealed four important program mechanisms that gave rise to gains in research skills, confidence and self-efficacy for research, and STEM career aspirations, particularly for individuals from underrepresented minority groups in STEM. Findings suggest that the program fostered student capacity building within a safe, inclusive, and positive setting where students experienced what it feels like to be an active participant in the world of research. Within this context, critical mechanisms that gave rise to gains in research skills, confidence and self-efficacy for research, and STEM career aspirations included: (1) experiential education through interdisciplinary research experiences, (2) student independence and ownership balanced with expert researcher guidance and support, (3) formal and informal mentoring networks where students were mentored and where they mentored others, and (4) the establishment of an intentional learning community that advanced leadership, research skill building, perseverance, and reflection. Results from this research cannot be generalized beyond the context of the Lake Champlain REU, however, findings are in alignment with the body of literature that highlights the positive effects of REUs on STEM majors' research skills, confidence and self-efficacy for research, and STEM career aspirations. Using mixed methods to identify and understand the within-program mechanisms that support student gains is a valuable new research approach for this field. Recognizing programmatic mechanisms across REU programs can lead to expansion, replication, and application of these models beyond one institution, resulting in more positive gains for more undergraduate STEM researchers.

A presente dissertação buscou analisar se, e como, o Ensino por Investigação pode promover o Engajamento Disciplinar Produtivo (EDP) entre alunos de uma turma da disciplina Física do terceiro de ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública estadual localizada na periferia da cidade de São Paulo. Num primeiro momento e no âmbito escolar, o EDP pode ser entendido como um indicador do grau de envolvimento com os temas e práticas de uma disciplina. Para tratar o tema, realizamos revisão bibliográfica entre trabalhos da área de pesquisa em ensino de ciências e física sobre o envolvimento de estudantes nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem na educação formal. Também estudamos trabalhos relacionados ao Ensino por Investigação e o estabelecimento de interações discursivas em sala de aula. Estes estudos permitiram propor indicadores de engajamento, de engajamento disciplinar e de engajamento disciplinar produtivo que foram utilizados na análise de episódios ocorridos em sala de aula. Os dados analisados nesta pesquisa são constituídos por aulas gravadas integralmente em vídeo, além de todo material didático a eles disponibilizado durante a aplicação da de uma sequência de ensino investigativa que versava sobre o tema \"Dualidade onda-partícula\". Pela análise da fala dos alunos, durante as atividades, e pelas interações dos mesmos com o professor e entre si, pudemos observar que, em vários momentos das atividades propostas nas aulas, houve um engajamento da turma, ficando este bastante condicionado às ações do professor. / This thesis aimed to assess whether, and how, Teaching through Investigation can promote the Disciplinary Productive Engagement (DPE) of a group of high school Physics class students, from a public school located in the suburbs of Sao Paulo. DPE can be understood as an indicator of the degree of involvement in a class with the themes and practices of a discipline. To address the research subject, we conducted a literature review of research in science education and physics, and the involvement of students in the teaching and learning processes in formal education. We also reviewed studies about Teaching through Investiagtion, and the establishment of discursive interactions in the classroom. These studies allowed proposing engagement indicators, disciplinary engagement and productive disciplinary engagement that were used in the analysis of episodes that occurred in the classroom. The data analyzed in this study consist of classes recorded entirely in video, plus all teaching materials available to them during the application of an Investigative Teaching Sequence; which was about the theme \"wave-particle duality.\" By analyzing the speech of the students during the activities, and the interactions with the teacher and each other, it was observed engagement of the class several times during the activities proposed. However, the engagement was conditioned by teacher\'s actions.

It has made through a Master Programme of Education in Sciences and Mathematics at Federal university of Goiás. The study of geometry through the trial is a form of education defended by Education many researchers in mathematics education (ANDRADE; NACARATO, 2008; FAINGUELERNT, 1999; PAULO, 2001; PAVANELLO, 2007). Begin of a proposal to work through scenarios for mathematics research as it considers the student's participation in an investigative approach, through play and through the act of playing. Developed the project "Small Builder" in which students built mini-houses that the process of building geometric concepts we studied. The activities were developed in the Escola Municipal Santa Helena , at Goiania, in a room with 27 children between 10 and 12 years. The data were analyzed following the paths of qualitative research in a phenomenological approach. In the investigative process, we analyzed the ways of understanding expressed by the students and the educational intervention carried out by the teachers involved. The study converged to open three categories: the understandings expressed on the measures proposed scenario, the understandings expressed on ways and plane figures in the proposed scenario, the understandings expressed in addition to the geometry in the proposed scenario. These categories have shown the possibility of the project "Small Builder" is set as the for research, by enabling the study of geometry and also go beyond. The analysis showed the weaknesses of the teacher and student, and the ephemerality of the scenarios for research, allowing one to rethink the life-world classroom geometry. / O presente trabalho, realizado junto ao Programa de Mestrado em Educação em Ciências e Matemática da Universidade Federal de Goiás, investiga quais as possibilidades da construção de miniaturas de casas serem cenários para investigação para o estudo da geometria. O trabalho com a geometria, por intermédio da experimentação, é uma indicação defendida por vários pesquisadores em Educação Matemática (ANDRADE; NACARATO, 2008; FAINGUELERNT, 1999; PAULO, 2001; PAVANELLO, 2007). Nesta investigação, parto das considerações desses autores e caminho para uma proposta de trabalho por meio dos Cenários para Investigação Matemática. Essa perspectiva considera a participação investigativa do aluno de forma lúdica e por intermédio do ato de brincar. Desenvolvi o projeto Pequeno Construtor , na Escola Municipal Santa Helena, em Goiânia, em usa sala com 27 crianças entre 10 e 12 anos. No projeto, os alunos edificaram minicasas para que, no processo de construção, estudássemos conceitos geométricos. Os dados obtidos foram analisados seguindo as orientações da pesquisa qualitativa numa abordagem fenomenológica. No processo investigativo, foram analisados os modos de compreensão expressos pelos alunos e a intervenção pedagógica realizada pelos professores envolvidos. O estudo convergiu para três categorias abertas: as compreensões expressas sobre medidas no cenário proposto; as compreensões expressas sobre formas e figuras planas no cenário proposto; as compreensões expressas para além da geometria no cenário proposto. Tais categorias revelaram a possibilidade de o projeto Pequeno Construtor se constituir como cenário de investigação, ao possibilitar o estudo da geometria e também ir para além dela. As análises indicaram as fragilidades do professor e do aluno, bem como a efemeridade dos cenários para investigação, ao mesmo tempo em que possibilitaram um repensar o mundo-vida da sala de aula de geometria.
