ABSTRACT The purpose of this c-level essay shall try to illustrate how a good leader is formed. We have investigated what influences leadership style, personal characteristics or individual competence have when recruiting a new manager. This study has been carried out with comparative applications because we wanted to study the similarities and differences between the Unemployment Office, the Social Insurance Office and the Social Welfare Administration. We have used a qualitative method in interviews both with employers as well as the from the trade union representative’s perspective. Part of our results indicates that the trade union representatives and the employers are not always unanimous and do not request equivalent characteristics and knowledge at recruitment. We have also found certain differences in the recruitment process between the organisations despite the fact that they are all politically governed and have many organisational similarities. We do not claim any empirical generalisations about our results as we have studied only one municipality. Our conclusions establish how certain key factors relate to recruitment of mangers just in this municipality and in these organisations. The results, however, indicates the prominence of some key factors that might be of general importance. One of the most important result that we found in this study was that the trade union representatives had more similar opinions with each other than those they had with their respective organisations. Furthermore it became obvious from the study that great significance was given to inter-personal relationships when recruiting a new middle manager. The most significant resemblance between the three organisations was that they requested a management style that inclined towards democratic values.

Os modos de didatização de textos literários em manuais de língua portuguesa para o ensino fundamental no período de 1976 a 1996 / Didactic methods for literary texts in portuguese language textbooks for elementary and middle level education, from 1976 to 1996Marilene Alves de Santana 24 October 2012 (has links)
Esta pesquisa desenvolveu-se com o intuito de analisar, conforme a concepção de Chartier (1990), as representações que se construíram dos alunos e da literatura pelo viés da seleção e apresentação dos textos literários nos livros didáticos de Língua Portuguesa, em dois diferentes períodos históricos. Para isso, selecionaram-se livros publicados no Estado de São Paulo entre os anos de 1976 a 1996, destinados às antigas quintas e sextas séries do ensino de primeiro grau. Pretendeu-se ainda analisar, sob a perspectiva discursiva bakhtiniana, os diálogos que se estabeleceram entre os modos de seleção e de apresentação dos textos literários nos manuais e os discursos acadêmicos, pedagógicos e oficiais que propunham, nesse(s) período(s), novas concepções de língua e de ensino. Para o desenvolvimento da análise, consultaram-se as coleções didáticas que atendiam aos interesses da pesquisa e que se encontram disponíveis no acervo LIVRES (Banco de dados de Livros Escolares Brasileiros (1818-2005)) da Faculdade de Educação da Universidade de São Paulo (FEUSP). Os livros que compuseram o corpus da pesquisa foram reunidos em dois grupos, tendo como referência os documentos oficiais que se encontravam em voga no período de publicação dos manuais: os Guias Curriculares (1975) e as Propostas Curriculares para o ensino de 1º grau (1986). A opção por assim agrupar as coleções atendeu à hipótese de que, por terem sido elaborados com base no que se discutia a respeito do ensino, os documento consistiriam em materiais de apoio para se perceber os diálogos entre os textos apresentados nos manuais e os discursos circulantes nos dois momentos históricos observados. Consultadas as coleções didáticas do acervo, elegeram-se duas obras de cada período, as quais foram consideradas representativas pelo fato de apresentarem os autores literários mais referenciados em seu período de publicação. Foi com base na análise dos textos desses autores, sobretudo modernistas e contemporâneos, que foi possível vislumbrarem as representações da literatura, ora apropriada enquanto texto ou mensagem portadora de conteúdos, ora concebida como um trabalho construído de forma dialógica e situado num contexto. A respeito da representação dos destinatários dos manuais, principalmente os alunos, notou-se que, por vezes, eram projetados segundo uma imagem infantilizada, e, noutras, eram considerados competentes para construir sentidos e refletir diante dos textos que lhes eram apresentados por meio dos manuais. / This research was conducted in order to find, according to the ideas of Chartier (1990), representations that were made of students and of literature, by selecting and presenting literary texts in Portuguese language textbooks. We selected books published by the Department of Education of the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, from 1976 to 1996, aimed at students of the former fifth and sixth grades of middle level education. Our intention was also to analyze, from Bakhtin´s perspective, approaches adopted in the selection and presentation of literary texts in textbooks and academic, pedagogical and official documentation, which proposed, during that period, new methods for language and teaching. For the purpose of analysis development, we consulted textbook collections related to our research, which are available at LIVRES (Brazilian Schoolbooks Database) library (1818-2005), at School of Education, Sao Paulo University (FEUSP). Documents comprising the research corpus were organized in two groups, having as reference the official documents available at the time of the textbooks publishing: Guias Curriculares (Curriculum Guides, 1975) and Propostas Curriculares para o ensino de primeiro grau (Curriculum Proposals for Elementary and Middle Level Education, 1986). Our choice to group the collections as such was based on the hypothesis that, as they were guidelines developed according to what was discussed about teaching at the time, they consisted of support documentation to understand the dialogue between texts presented in textbooks and approaches adopted during those two historical moments observed. Having consulted the collection textbooks, we chose two pieces of work for each period, which were considered representative, because they had the most often referenced authors during their literary publication periods. Based on the analysis of the texts of those authors, especially modernist and contemporary authors, we were able to check literature representations, either adequate as text or \'message\' bearing content, or a piece of work dialogically constructed and in context. Regarding representation of the manual recipients, especially students, we noted that sometimes they were projected with a somewhat childish image, and sometimes considered competent to construct meanings and reflect on the texts and dialogues that were presented to them by the textbooks.

Autonomia municipal na implementação de programas federais: análise da implementação do Programa Mais Educação/MEC na cidade de São Paulo / Municipal autonomy in the implementation of federal programs: analysis of More Education/MEC Program in the city of São PauloBruno Martinelli 25 April 2017 (has links)
Esta dissertação analisa a autonomia municipal na implementação de programas federais. Partiu-se da teoria sobre relações intergovernamentais no Brasil e implementação de políticas públicas para analisar a implementação do Mais Educação/Ministério da Educação (MEC) no Município de São Paulo, considerando o período de 2011 a 2016. Para realizar a análise, foi construído um quadro analítico que considera elementos topdown e bottom-up das teorias de implementação de políticas públicas. Foram considerados o desenho da política federal e o desenho da política municipal, incluindo seus incentivos institucionais, as relações interorganizacionais e a burocracia de médio escalão (BME). O método da pesquisa foi o estudo de caso único, operacionalizado empiricamente por meio de análise documental e de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Foram analisados o desenho do programa federal, a implementação dos programas municipais de expansão da jornada de ensino e as características do Mais Educação/MEC na rede de ensino. Verificamos que os programas municipais influenciaram a implementação da política federal por trazerem uma série de incentivos institucionais a este programa. Além disso, verificamos que o município levou cerca de 3 anos para construir outros incentivos institucionais para a implementação do programa federal em sua rede de ensino, conseguindo, assim, coordenar o programa. De 2011 a 2014, a adesão das unidades escolares ao programa foi marcada por diferenças inter-regionais, sobretudo de 2011 a 2013. Como principais conclusões, a pesquisa mostra que o Município de São Paulo construiu um arranjo de implementação colegiado junto ao MEC por ter criado uma série de incentivos institucionais para a implementação do programa federal em sua rede de ensino; e que a atuação empreendedora de parte da BME explica, pelo menos em parte, as diferenças inter-regionais em um contexto de pouca coordenação por parte da SME / This dissertation analyzes municipal autonomy in the implementation of federal programs. It was based on the theory of intergovernmental relations in Brazil and the implementation of public policies to analyze the implementation of More Education/Ministry of Education (MEC) in the city of São Paulo, considering the period from 2011 to 2016. To carry out the analysis, an analytical framework that considers topdown and bottom-up elements of public policy implementation theories. The design of the federal policy and the design of the municipal policy, including its institutional incentives, interorganizational relations and the middle-level bureaucracy (MLB) were considered. The research method was the single case study, operationalized empirically through documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews. The design of the federal program, the implementation of the municipal programs of expansion of the teaching day and the characteristics of the More Education/MEC in the education network were analyzed. We verified that the municipal programs influenced the implementation of the federal policy by bringing a series of institutional incentives to this program. In addition, we found that the municipality took about 3 years to build other institutional incentives for the implementation of the federal program in its educational network, thus managing to coordinate the program. From 2011 to 2014, school units membership of the program was marked by interregional differences, especially from 2011 to 2013. As a key finding, the survey shows that the Municipality of São Paulo has built a collegial implementation arrangement with the MEC for having created A series of institutional incentives for the implementation of the federal program in its educational network; and that entrepreneurial activity on the part of BME explains, at least in part, the interregional differences in a context of little coordination by the SME

Gatekeepers for Gifted Social Studies: Case Studies of Middle School TeachersBergstrom, Teresa Michelle 18 November 2015 (has links)
This is a multiple case study of the ways middle grades social studies teachers, as curricular-instructional gatekeepers, may make decisions to provide their gifted students with purposeful differentiated instruction. More specifically, this study explores what teachers believe they should do to instruct gifted students, in what ways teachers prepare and adapt curriculum and instruction for gifted students, and how instruction for gifted learners can take place in a middle school social studies classroom. Through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and supportive visual evidence, six middle grades (6-8) social studies teachers disclosed in what ways they differentiate their middle grades social studies curriculum and instruction for their gifted adolescent learners. Through Hatch’s (2002) Inductive Analysis model, findings were recorded and presented in the form of individual teacher observation and thematic cross-case analysis.
Findings suggest that middle grades social studies teachers take into consideration factors that influence their curricular-instructional beliefs, directly affecting the decisions they make in terms of curriculum selection, instructional delivery, and the methods of differentiation employed to meet the needs of their gifted students. Much of what teachers planned, prepared, and adapted was often influenced by the needs of their students, but also addressed mandates of their school and district agendas. This conflict between meeting the needs of both students and administration resulted in gatekeeping that often favored administration, while reducing the frequency of best practices for middle level gifted students in social studies classrooms.
Implications for the study include how teacher confidence, or the lack there of, effects instructional practices. Time constraints in middle level curriculum pacing and increased assessment also limited opportunities for rigorous, relevant, and differentiated social studies instruction for gifted students. Middle level social studies teachers of gifted call for clearer and more illustrative descriptions of what the academic ceiling for gifted social studies might look like in general. There are distinctive contrasts between models of differentiation and neighboring concepts of individualized and personalized learning. While in theory differentiation is meaningful, middle level social studies teachers find it difficult to implement methods of differentiation in their classroom with desired frequency. There is a distinctive bond between the fields of social studies, English Language Arts, and research skills. Middle level social studies teachers of gifted seek greater opportunities for meaningful professional development options. Lastly, there is a call among middle level social studies teachers for the inclusion of gifted initiatives in teacher education programs.
Topics that could be explored for future research include a continued effort to expound applicable gatekeeping practices, the provision of purposeful professional development and learning for teacher populations, continued application and practice of differentiation in the field of social studies education, increased inclusion of social studies in the elementary classroom, the awareness and servicing of gifted learners in the middle school social studies classroom, and the increased inclusion of gifted populations with undergraduate and graduate social studies education programs.

Teacher stress in rural middle schools:teachers' perceptions of three contributing factorsDavidson, Karen Voncille 02 May 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this research was to examine rural middle school teacher’s perceptions of stressful factors present in their current position. Data was gathered from 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade teachers in the city and county schools located in O County, Mississippi. Two instruments were used for the study. The first survey instrument identified three stress factors (teacher workload, student discipline, and No Child Left Behind) and their relationship with teachers. The second instrument measured the degree to which the three stress factors were appraised as stressful. The data gathered in this study provided an awareness of factors that can increase understanding of teacher stress levels. The discussion of stress emphasized that what is perceived as stressful for one person may not be perceived as stressful for another. Results revealed that these teachers face some difficulties at their schools and in the classroom dealing with their emotional perspective or from the perspective of the children they teach. Furthermore, results indicated that rural schools offer a less stressful learning environment than urban schools. Just knowing some of the common stress factors can assist school systems and administrators in developing interventions to alleviate stress that may at some point lead to burnout.

[pt] O DIREITO À EDUCAÇÃO DE ALUNOS COM DEFICIÊNCIA: ASPECTOS DA IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DA POLÍTICA DE EDUCAÇÃO INCLUSIVA EM CORUMBÁ/MS / [en] STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES RIGHT TO EDUCATION: ASPECTS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLICY OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN CORUMBÁ/MSFLAVIA PEDROSA DE CAMARGO 04 February 2020 (has links)
[pt] O trabalho buscou investigar a implementação das políticas da educação inclusiva na rede municipal de Corumbá/MS a partir das percepções dos agentes implementadores. Como objetivos específicos buscamos conhecer como as políticas educacionais voltadas aos alunos com deficiência são implementadas no município e quais as condições de atendimento desses alunos na rede municipal. Focalizamos em particular a interação entre a gestão das escolas com a Secretaria Municipal de Educação e a maneira como ocorrem os atendimentos voltados aos alunos com deficiência, considerando a atuação da gestão e professores das unidades escolares. Como referencial teórico utilizamos os estudos sobre burocracia de médio escalão e de nível de rua, para entendermos como essas relações se estabelecem. Utilizamos também o contexto histórico das políticas da educação especial para entendermos de que maneira elas se consolidam na sociedade brasileira, além dos Estudos sobre a Deficiência (Disability Studies) que nos ofereceram condições de chaves de interpretação dos fenômenos por meio da perspectiva sociológica da deficiência, sobretudo através do conceito de Capacitismo. Inicialmente foi aplicado um survey às equipes de gestão e aos professores de todas as escolas urbanas da rede municipal de Corumbá, totalizando dezesseis unidades escolares. A partir da análise dos dados coletados e dos microdados do Censo Escolar 2016 foram escolhidas três escolas para participar de um movimento posterior de pesquisa qualitativa. Esta fase qualitativa incluiu cerca de um mês de observação do cotidiano em cada escola e entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com oito integrantes das equipes de gestão e dez professores. Esta segunda fase da pesquisa foi completada com a análise de documentos oficiais e seis entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais da Secretaria Municipal de Educação. Os resultados mostraram que os agentes implementadores das políticas da educação inclusiva, apesar de seus esforços para realização do trabalho, encontram dificuldades que interferem diretamente em sua atuação. O funcionamento precário de algumas unidades escolares, a pressão de responsabilização quanto aos resultados sem a oferta de condições adequadas de trabalho, o desmantelamento nos últimos anos da equipe pedagógica responsável pelo atendimento dos alunos com deficiência da rede municipal são fatores que impactam profundamente no trabalho desses profissionais. Atrelado a isso ressaltamos também as percepções desses agentes implementadores a respeito do conceito de deficiência e o fato da maior parte deles considerar os alunos com deficiência como incapazes. Este conjunto de fatores contribui para os resultados encontrados no Censo Escolar, que mostram que esses alunos, embora acessem à escola regular, no marco da política de inclusão educacional em vigor, encontram-se majoritariamente retidos nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, raramente completando as condições para sua efetiva inclusão escolar e social. / [en] The work sought to investigate the implementation of public policies of special education in the municipal system of Corumbá / MS based on the perceptions of the implementing agents. As specific objectives, we wanted to learn how educational policies aimed at students with disabilities are implemented in the municipality and what the conditions of attendance of these students are in the municipal system. We focused particularly on the interaction between the school board with the Municipal Department of Education, and the way the service to the disability students is provided considering the operation of the school management and teachers. As a theoretical framework, we use studies on middle-level and street-level bureaucracy to understand how these relationships are established. We also used the literature on the historical context of special education policies to understand how they were consolidated in Brazilian society, in addition to Disability Studies, which offered us keys to interpret phenomena through the sociological perspective of disability, especially throughout the Ableism concept. Initially a survey was applied to the management teams and teachers of all urban schools of the municipal system of Corumbá, summing sixteen school units. From the analysis of data collected and the microdata of the 2016 Brazilian School Census, three schools were chosen to participate in a following movement of qualitative research. This qualitative phase included about a month of observation of the daily life in each school and semi- structured interviews done with eight members of the management team and ten teachers. This second phase of research was than complemented with official documents analysis and six semi-structured interviews with professionals from the Municipal Education Department. The results showed that the agents implementing the policies of the special education, despite their efforts to carry out the work, find difficulties that interfere directly in their work. The precarious functioning of some school units, the pressure to hold the principals accountable for the school results, without the provision of adequate work conditions, and the dismantling in the last years of the educational team responsible to provide the service to the students with deficiency of the municipal system, are factors that impact the work of the professionals at school level. In addition to that we highlighted the perceptions of the implementing agents to the concept of disability and the fact of the majority of them considers disability students as unable. This set of factors contributes to the results found in the School Census that show that these students, although they attend the regular school, within the framework of the current policy of educational inclusion, are mostly retained in the initial years of Elementary Education, rarely completing the conditions for effective school and social inclusion.
