Theatre is the passport to the creation of a balanced educational system in the United States (US), while standardized testing is the downfall of the ideology behind ‘No Child Left Behind’ (NCLB). As an educator, I was greatly influenced by Howard Gardner, theorist of Multiple Intelligences and Neil Fleming theorist of learning modalities. This work has carried over into my work in theatre as a director. Theatre does not have to didactically serve formal education, which emphasizes mathematics and reading/writing, nor does it have to be merely a spectacle. Theatre can be experimental, artistic, cathartic, foster social and intrapersonal skills and increase intelligences in all areas for children and adults. The adaptation of the children’s book The End by David LaRochelle into a play for children demonstrates the potential that lies within the art of theatre to be more than just entertainment. Furthermore, my work on the adaptation of The End was greatly influenced by my research and participation in the production of Pinocchio with Ohio Valley Summer Theatre in the fall of 2008. From this production, I gained considerable knowledge on the topic of Commedia Del’ Arte which impacted my work on my own production The End.

This two-part study included a content analysis of an AP art history text and a survey together with interviews with AP art history teachers that embraced both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. The first phase of the study examined one of the more popular art history survey texts in the AP art history program, Gardner’s Art through the Ages, in terms of how inclusive it is in addressing issues of sexual orientation and, particularly, same-sex perspectives. In addition, the text was examined for evidence of sexual orientation ignored – particularly same-sex perspectives ignored and for heteronormative hegemonies. The second phase investigated the understandings and opinions of AP art history teachers toward the inclusion of sexual orientation and same-sex perspectives in their curriculums and classrooms. Recent recognition of gay, lesbian, and same-sex perspectives in the study of art history has challenged art educators and art historians to begin to consider opening up their curriculums and writings to include these perspectives. These ignored perspectives produce important understandings that enrich and deepen the discourse of art history. The inclusion of gay and lesbian content and same-sex perspectives to the study of AP art history, not only effectively serves the needs of AP art history teachers, but it provides a more equitable and comprehensive visual arts education to students. The implications of this study are broad and complex. If students are to be well and comprehensively educated in the history of the visual arts, including discussions about the sexual orientation of gay and lesbian artists as well as artworks depicting same-sex perspectives is important. Similarly, their teachers must be well-informed and believe that including such material in the curriculum is important. There is definitely a need for designing more balanced and equitable AP art history programs that include gay and lesbian artists as well as same-sex perspectives. From a multicultural art education perspective, this study reveals that gays and lesbians are marginalized in a major AP art history survey text. It illuminates how an AP art history survey text and AP art history teachers’ attitudes and knowledge base on same-sex perspectives inform their curriculums, specifically concerning what’s important to teach in an AP art history classroom. If approved AP art history survey texts as well as the influential annual AP College Board art history exam included issues of sexual orientation, particularly same-sex perspectives, it would encourage more AP art history teachers to include gay and lesbian artists and same-sex perspectives in their curriculums.

Assuming the principles of MI theory and reflecting on the context of teaching optics activities and educational activities for Polytechnic High School, which was deployed in Rio Grande do Sul in 2012, were developed and evaluated in order to improve students learning. The activities planning started from previous students' ideas mapping about the nature of light. This initial mapping showed that students had an immense difficulty in expressing the nature of light or describing its meaning. Activities were developed and applied to a group of students from an urban Polytechnic Public High School, in Rio Grande do Sul, over an academic quarter. The starting points proposed by the Theory of IM were used to stimulate multiple intelligences: Linguistic, Logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, naturalist, and Personal. The spectrum of intelligences, in it s entirely, was not stimulated, although in each activity, but we sought to involve the largest possible number of intelligences. It was found that the activities promoted not only the complexity of previous ideas, but the development of students' autonomy to positining themselves about the nature of light theories and the optical phenomena. Throughout this research, we seek to encourage the greatest possible number of intelligences, presenting different perspectives in Optics, unusual in physics teaching, such as the use of painting, drawing and storytelling activities, allowing students to make use of their skills, building learning together with other colleagues and with the teacher. We concluded that MI theory, practiced in the classroom, can show up as a possible solution to improve students academic achievement and self-esteem, as it considers the pluralistic intelligence, not only emphasizing the linguistic and logical-mathematical / No estudo que deu origem ? Teoria das Intelig?ncias M?ltiplas (IM), Gardner (2001) afirma que somos dotados de um espectro composto por diversas intelig?ncias e o desenvolvimento individual depende do contexto cultural. Assumindo os pressupostos da teoria das IM e refletindo sobre o contexto do ensino de ?ptica, foram desenvolvidas e avaliadas atividades e a??es pedag?gicas para o Ensino M?dio Polit?cnico, implantado, no Rio Grande do Sul, em 2012, que buscavam ampliar o aprendizado dos alunos. O planejamento das atividades partiu do mapeamento das ideias pr?vias dos alunos sobre a natureza da luz. Este mapeamento inicial mostrou que os alunos apresentavam dificuldade em expressar a natureza da luz ou descrever o seu significado. Foram desenvolvidas atividades, que foram aplicadas a um grupo de alunos do Ensino M?dio Polit?cnico de uma escola p?blica estadual urbana, do Rio Grande do Sul, ao longo de um trimestre letivo. Para tanto, foram utilizados os pontos de partida propostos pela Teoria das IM para estimular m?ltiplas intelig?ncias: Lingu?stica, L?gico-matem?tica, Espacial, F?sico-cinest?sica, a Naturalista e Pessoal. O espectro de intelig?ncias, em sua totalidade, n?o foi estimulado, embora, em cada atividade, se tenha procurado envolver o maior n?mero poss?vel de intelig?ncias. Verificou-se que as atividades promoveram n?o s? a complexifica??o das ideias pr?vias, mas o desenvolvimento da autonomia dos alunos para se posicionarem quanto ?s teorias sobre a natureza da luz e os fen?menos luminosos. Ao longo desta pesquisa, ao buscarmos estimular maior n?mero poss?vel de intelig?ncias, apresentando a ?ptica sob diferentes perspectivas, incomuns no ensino de F?sica, como o uso de atividades de pintura, desenho e conta??o de hist?rias, as quais permitiram que os alunos fizessem uso de suas habilidades, construindo o aprendizado em conjunto com os demais colegas e com o professor. Conclui-se que a teoria das IM, praticada na sala de aula, pode se mostrar como uma poss?vel solu??o para melhorar o rendimento escolar e a autoestima do aluno, uma vez que considera a intelig?ncia pluralista, n?o enfatizando apenas a lingu?stica e a l?gico-matem?tica

A presente pesquisa investigou as funções da música no ensino fundamental: um olhar sobre cinco escolas estaduais de Porto Alegre/RS. O assunto proposto foi oportunizado a partir das categorias elencadas por Alan Merriam (1964), etnomusicólogo norte americano. Participaram desta pesquisa cinco escolas estaduais de ensino fundamental da cidade de Porto Alegre/RS e dezessete sujeitos que, de forma voluntária, foram o foco de coleta de material referente ao tema. Os dados para a pesquisa foram obtidos a partir de questionários, observações e entrevistas semi-estruturadas, desde que utilizassem a música em suas atividades. Estas atividades perpassaram o segundo semestre de 2005 e o segundo trimestre de 2006. Verificou-se que as professoras pesquisadas utilizam muito a música em suas atividades, mas principalmente com a função emocional, tendo como objetivo principal acalmar e tranqüilizar os alunos, para o bom desempenho da aula e das atividades escolares. A música é valorizada por seu caráter utilitarista, principalmente como fio condutor que perpassa todas as tarefas escolares.Assim, cada escola revela uma maneira diferente de articular e combinar a música em suas atividades, priorizando o atendimento ao aluno e a imagem da escola ante a comunidade. Com isto, notei como a influência da teoria das inteligências múltiplas, de Gardner tem grande penetração no meio educacional, pois a música auxilia na compreensão de outras disciplinas. Finalizando, destacam-se questões levantadas pela pesquisa e que poderão servir de sugestões para futuras investigações. / The present research has investigated the functions of music in elementary school: a view of five State schools in Porto Alegre/RS. The proposed subject was made possible through categories arranged by Alan Merriam (1964), American ethnomusicologist. Five schools were researched and the research focused on seventeen volunteers as a way of gathering material regarding the theme. The collected data was obtained through questionnaires, observations and semi-structured interviews submitted to teachers who make use of music in their activities. These activities happened throughout the second semester of the year 2005 and the second trimester of the year 2006. It was observed that the participating teachers make large use of music in their activities, but mainly with an emotional function, having as their main goal to calm down the students so they can have a better performance in class and in school activities. Music is valued as a useful tool particularly used to assist on all sort of school tasks.Each school finds different ways to articulate and combine music and their activities, having the student and the image of the school in the community as a priority. I could also notice how Gardner´s theory of multiple intelligences influences education, as music assists on the understanding of other subjects. In the conclusion, questions which were brought up by the research and can be used as suggestions for future investigations are highlighted.

Ny kunskap söker människan ständigt genom hela livet. Kunskap är det vi individer tar till oss och lär oss. Sättet på vilket inlärningen sker hos elever kan variera. Alla kanske inte lär sig bäst genom dagens, än så länge vanligaste pedagogik, förmedlingspedagogik. I förmedlingspedagogiken står pedagogen för förmedling av information till eleverna och det blir ofta en envägskommunikation. Med vår uppsats vill vi hjälpa andra pedagoger och individer att få en inblick i vad inlärningsstilar innebär och vad det kan bidra med till undervisningen och till samhället. Därför har vi valt att undersöka inlärning och inlärningsstilar med fokus på de perceptuella styrkorna (sinnena). Det huvudsakliga problemområdet i denna avhandling är att ta reda på hur man kan använda inlärningsstilsanpassad undervisning i skolan och vilken inlärningsstil som föredras av eleverna i en 1:a klass. Syftet med denna uppsats är att vi vill bidra till kunskapsutvecklingen inom begreppet inlärning och hur man kan använda sig av inlärningsstilar i skolan för att uppmärksamma varje elevs individuella inlärning. Frågeställningarna vi har valt är:•Vilka skäl anger pedagogerna i undersökningsgruppen för sitt val att arbeta utifrån teorier om inlärningsstilar.•Hur arbetar elever och pedagoger i vår urvalsgrupp med inlärningsstilar i år 1? Hur kan en lektion i svenska ser ut med hjälp av inlärningsstilar i år 1?•Vilka inlärningsstilar föredrar eleverna i år 1 och varför föredrar de dem? Elever och pedagoger i den studerade klassen, kan på ett välfungerande och stimulerande sätt arbeta med inlärningsstilar. I relation till våra frågeställningar får vi utifrån våra intervjuer reda på att de visuella och auditiva sinnena är vanligast och att det är dessa arbetssätt eleverna föredrar. Vi frågade pedagogerna om man skulle kunna arbeta på samma vis inom alla ämnen? I denna fråga delar sig de intervjuade pedagogernas mening. En svarar att inlärningsstilar går att använda i alla ämnen medan en annan anser att det både kan användas i alla ämnen men kan också vara svårt att tillämpa i vissa. Om det fungerar så här bra inom svenskan, borde man väl alltid kunna använda inlärningsstilar! Påpekar Lisa. Men räcker då tiden till? Det är något som pedagogerna ser som ett stort hinder, tiden. Upplägget inför lektionen med inlärningsstilar tar tid och det gör även tillverkningen av material. Det kan också vara svårt att hitta övningar som passar varje elevs enskilda behov. / AbstractLearning styles - a recognition of differences by Sara Håkansson and Malin Wingårdh-Hallgard. This survey acts about students' learning through learning styles. The main problem area in this dissertation is to find oute how persons can used learning style tailored education in the school and which learning style are preferred of the students in a 1: a class. The aim with this essay is that we wants to contribute to the knowledge development within the concept learning and how one can use learning styles in the school in order to notice each pupil's individual learning. The issues we have choosen is:• Which reasons state the educationist in the survey group for its choice to work on the basis of theories about learning styles?• How works students and educationits in ouer selection group with learning styles in year 1? How can a lesson in Swede sees out with the aid of learning styles in year 1?• Which learning styles prefer the students in year 1 and why prefers the them? The survey's implementation builds on observations and qualitative interviews with 21 students, two educationists in a first class and a preschool teacher on the same school. We have also used different theorists and their theories, as Dunn & Dunn, Gardner and Piagets, and the theory Human Dynamics. The most important results are that the learning happens individually for each pupil and that educationists strives after letting the students find possibility to use their best perceptuel strength (minds) in order to faith through the the different learning styles. The shows itself that most off the students know himself most home with the visualy and auditory and seems to work on the basis of these strength.
