In this context, this study aims at a critical analysis of an alternative curriculum organization that has been developed in the courses of initial teacher development, specifically in the courses Science Undergraduate, Art & Language and Communication of Federal University of Parana - Coastline campus. For this, we chose the guiding question as in what extent the proposal being developed in UFPR Coastline brings elements with potential to contribute to a new curricular paradigm in initial teacher development. The adopted methodological approach for this study is the qualitative research approach in the form of case study. To obtain the data, we focused on document analysis and discussion groups with students and teachers. Authors such as Garcia (1999 ) , Tardif (2011 ) , Masetto ( 2003, 2006 , 2007, 2009 , 2012) , Gatti (2010 ) , André ( 2005, 2009 , 2010) , Diniz - Pereira ( 2007, 2010 ) , Romanowski ( 2010, 2012 ) , Imbernon (2009 ) , Saviani ( 2005, 2009 ) , Tanuri (2000 ) , Carbonell (2002 ) , Silva (2007 ) , Moreira (2006 ) , Lopes and Macedo (2011 ) supported the construction of the theoretical framework concept that guided the research from theirs theories on innovation , teacher formation and curriculum. The data indicate that the curriculum reform in progress manifests with characteristic movements of change with innovation in a set of core and relevant elements such as design and curriculum organization , teaching knowledge , models of formation , practical activities / stage and methodological principles. The character of building in movement of the curriculum, open to the collective intelligence of educators in their institutional contexts find room for diversification and innovation, confronts us with the possibility of a new paradigm in process. Thus, this research contributes to the field of curriculum theory and practice analysis to bring an experience that puts into action directions that have long putting to the curricula in initial teacher development / A recorrente denúncia de que o preparo oferecido nos cursos de formação inicial não tem oferecido respostas adequadas às novas exigências do trabalho dos professores na sociedade contemporânea e aos desafios enfrentados pelos docentes em suas práticas cotidianas tem colocado em questão a revisão dos currículos que formam esses profissionais. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo tem como objetivo a análise crítica de uma organização curricular alternativa que vem sendo desenvolvida nos cursos de formação inicial de professores, mais especificamente, em cursos de Licenciaturas de Ciências, Artes e Linguagem e Comunicação da Universidade Federal do Paraná - Unidade Litoral. Para isso, escolheu-se como questão orientadora investigar em que medida a proposta que vem sendo desenvolvida na UFPR Litoral traz elementos com potencial de contribuição para um novo paradigma curricular na formação inicial de professores. Adota-se como caminho metodológico para este estudo a abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa na modalidade de estudo de caso. Para obtenção dos dados, privilegiou-se a análise documental e grupos de discussão com alunos e professores. Autores como Garcia (1999), Tardif (2011), Masetto (2003, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012), Gatti (2010), André (2005, 2009, 2010), Diniz-Pereira (2007, 2010), Romanowski (2010, 2012), Imbernón (2009), Saviani (2005, 2009), Tanuri (2000), Carbonell (2002), Silva (2007), Moreira (2006), Lopes e Macedo (2011) deram suporte à construção do marco teórico conceitual que orientou a pesquisa a partir de suas teorias sobre inovação, formação de professores e currículo. Os dados indicam que a reforma curricular em andamento se manifesta com movimentos de mudança com característica de inovação em um conjunto de elementos centrais e relevantes, tais como concepção e organização curricular, saberes docentes, modelos de formação, atividades práticas/estágio e princípios metodológicos. O caráter de construção em movimento do currículo, aberto para que a inteligência coletiva dos educadores em seus contextos institucionais encontre espaço para a diversificação e a inovação, coloca-nos diante da possibilidade de um novo paradigma em processo. Dessa forma, essa pesquisa contribui para o campo da teoria e das práticas curriculares ao trazer para análise uma experiência que coloca em ação direcionamentos que há tempos vêm se colocando para os currículos na formação inicial de professores

Thesis (DAppLing)--Macquarie University, Faculty of Human Sciences, Department of Linguistics, 2009. / Bibliography: p. 167-188. / Introduction -- Contextual background -- Literature review -- Methodology -- Pre-service teachers' beliefs about being a teacher -- Practicum students' beliefs about the teaching experience -- Teachers' first year experience: beliefs and reflections -- Conclusions. / This research focuses on the analysis of the beliefs of pre-service Mexican student-teachers from a public university in central Mexico who have learned English as adolescents or young adults. Specifically, it examines their beliefs about teaching and about themselves as English teachers in different stages of initial professional development. The participants reflected on their experiences as English language learners, students, teaching practicum students and as first year teachers in a follow up study. -- This thesis is composed of three studies that are linked by involving the same participants. The studies follow these participants through different stages in their initial development as teachers.The research is set within the qualitative research paradigm and draws on qualitative data and interpretive analysis. The data were retrieved using the following procedures: autobiographies, a focus group interview, journals, personal interviews and short narratives. -- Responses to the following research questions emerged through the different stages of this thesis. 1. What initial beliefs do pre-service and beginning students hold about being a teacher? 2. Do these beliefs evolve or change during the initial stages of their teacher development? 3. Do their experiences during their initial stages of their development influence their beliefs? -- There is little research on English language teacher beliefs in Mexico. It is considered that research in this area can contribute to the understanding of the processes of what English language teachers' beliefs are and how they evolve or develop over time and the influences that they may have on the actual teaching process. This research may contribute to bring to the attention of English language teacher preparation programs the necessity of providing opportunities for student-teachers to unpack their beliefs and reflect and view them in the light of the courses and their practice in order to create an understanding of the Mexican educational context of which they will be a part. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / viii, 265 p
