Enfatizamos que o termo identidade (MOITA LOPES, 2003, 2006, 2010) proposto neste estudo assume uma natureza multifacetada, provisória, fragmentada e mestiça, o qual será analisado dentro dos construtos vigentes da Linguística Aplicada. A investigação foi realizada por meio da análise qualitativa dos relatos reflexivos realizados pelos professores em formação inicial ao longo de quatro semestres da disciplina de estágio supervisionado de ensino de língua estrangeira (Inglês), como também de relatos e interações postados numa Comunidade de Prática-CdP (WENGER, 1998; CLARKE, 2008) e nas sessões temáticas promovidas durante o processo de investigação. O gênero narrativo denominado relato-reflexivo, são estórias de vida e experiências desses alunos-professores com a regência, que, em momentos pontuais, são dialogadas com o leitor-pesquisador. No intuito de compreender como se dá a (re)construção de suas identidades profissionais, sociais e culturais, nos propusemos a analisar, concomitantemente, os aspectos cognitivos (BORG, 2006; ZEICHNER, 2005; ZEMBYLAS, 2005) como também as emoções e a afetividade (VIEIRA ABRAHÃO,1992, 1996, 2004, 2006; BARCELOS, 2007, 2010; ARAGÃO, 2005; COELHO, 2011) que perpassam o processo de negociação de identidades na formação inicial de professores de língua estrangeira numa perspectiva sociocultural de educação. Os resultados da análise evidenciam uma interligação dos fatores sociais, cognitivos e emocionais de (re)construção identitária recorrentes tanto no contexto virtual como presencial. Além disso, nas narrativas pudemos visualizar sincronicamente o complexo processo de (re)construção e o fluxo ... / This ethnographic and longitudinal study is aimed at investigating, analyzing and understanding the complex process of professional, social and cultural identity (re)construction in pre-service teachers in a Teacher Education Course at a Federal University in the extreme north of Brazil. The pre-service teacher’s narratives were investigated through a qualitative approach. The narratives were collected from these students-teachers during the four semesters of their supervised internship class in their undergraduate course, as well as the interactions they posted in the Community of Practice-CdP (WENGER, 1998; CLARKE, 2008) and discussed in thematic sessions accomplished during the process of investigation. The narrative genres that called reflexive narratives are live histories and experiences the teacher-students experimented with and practiced while teaching English classes at public schools. These narratives are dialogued with the researcher-reader at specific moments. Then, we simultaneously intended to understand how this professional identity (re)construction happens and we also will analyze the cognitive (BORG, 2006; ZEICHNER, 2005; ZEMBYLAS, 2005) as well as the emotions and affective aspects (VIEIRA ABRAHÃO, 1992; 1996, 2004, 2006; BARCELOS, 2007, 2010; ARAGÃO, 2005; COELHO, 2011) which one experiences while negotiating identity as the foreign language teacher education process in a sociocultural perspective. The results indicate an interconnectedness of social, cognitive and emotional factors in the identity (re)construction in both face to face and virtual spaces of interaction. Furthermore, the narratives elicit the synchronic way of the complex process of identity construction as well as its flow and its transience. We also observed a major incidence of co-construction of professional identities in the Community of Practice’s (Moodle) interactions, showing itself mainly as a sharing of emotions, realizations, ...

In recent years there has been growing enthusiasm among researchers for the promotion of online learning communities designed to support professional learning in preservice teacher education. The primary purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the role of such an online community in supporting student teacher learning during the school placement in a Chinese Normal University, and hence to enrich the understanding of student teachers’ learning experiences in an online ecology. The study’s subjects included a cohort of 42 student teachers enrolled on a four-year preservice teacher education programme, along with two university supervisors at one of China’s teacher-training universities. Primary data were collected from six weeks of online threaded discussions and from semi-structured group interviews. Supplementary data were taken from an end-of-school-placement evaluation and web-tracking logs. Data analysis has been informed and illuminated by the theoretical proposition of communities of practice. The findings of the study indicate that the online learning community is a valuable resource for supporting student teachers both personally and professionally. Findings suggest that online communication not only helps student teachers tackle immediate teaching concerns and technical problems, but, more importantly, provides them with opportunities to reflect collectively, to co-construct new teaching ideas, and to gain professional discourse competence through articulating and negotiating their evolving thoughts on teaching as a profession. In this regard, student teachers are found to be more comfortable with online self-disclosure of their personal and professional encounters and critiquing each other than they are with face-to-face communication. The research also shows that university supervisors experience mixed feelings about the fact that student teachers are more able to take ownership of their learning and therefore become less dependent on supervisor guidance as time wears on. Furthermore, these findings provide evidence suggestive of a possibly reciprocal relationship between Chinese view of learning and the building of online learning communities. Based on the results of the study, I provide recommendations as to how the significance of the school placement can be reinforced in fostering distributed student teachers’ professional growth. The results also contribute to a better understanding of the key factors in the design and implementation of effective online learning communities within preservice teacher education in China. Finally, the analytical approach used in this study provides fresh methodological insight into an alternative means of analysing online postings. It thus contributes both to the theorisation of learning communities in the context of computer-mediated communication, and to the further development of concepts drawn from the communities of practice literature.

La investigación surge como respuesta a la preocupación por las actitudes de rechazo y desinterés de los estudiantes frente a las asignaturas de teología, específicamente cristología; así mismo a la exigencia de la incorporación de la tecnología de la información y comunicación (TIC) en el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje, potenciando así, la construcción del aprendizaje. Se propone la implementación del aula CristoAct, en la plataforma Moodle, como medio de apoyo a las sesiones presenciales de la asignatura de cristología; teniendo como objetivo demostrar que el uso del aula virtual CristoAct, mejora la actitud de los estudiantes frente a la asignatura de cristología de la Universidad Católica Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo. La metodología aplicada fue de tipo experimental, con diseño cuasi experimental de un sólo grupo, con pretest y postest. Teniendo como población, estudiantes matriculados en la asignatura de cristología distribuidos en 7 secciones; y como muestra a los estudiantes de la sección “G”. El grupo en estudio mejoró el nivel de actitud frente a la asignatura de cristología demostrando que la utilización del aula CristoAct ha facilitado espacios para compartir, interactuar y realizar la extensión de la temática en estudio, reflejándose los resultados en su rendimiento académico. La actitud positiva de los estudiantes se debió al uso del entorno virtual como elemento didáctico, ya que motivó a los estudiantes y acrecentó una actitud favorable frente a la asignatura; siendo reutilizables los recursos multimedia diseñados e implementados por el autor en cualquier plataforma y/o servidores de la web.

This dissertation pursues the possibility of increasing quality of teaching students in medical fields using LMS Moodle. It is based on years of experience with designing of e-learning courses at the Charles University. LMS Moodle uses knowledge of computer-aided or computer-controlled teaching at universities. According to an analysis of the changing situation at universities that is characterized by increasing number of students, also by creation of bachelor degree courses and unideal teaching financial security on the one hand and the significant developement of ICT on the other. As part of this work the usability of ICT in medical study fields was solved in subjects "Medical Informatics" , " Prosthetic materials and technology" and " Gnathology". In the last year (2010) LMS Moodle was started for a whole network of medical faculties that cooperate on the creation and access to electronic learning materials MEFANET (Medical faculty's network since 2007). Analysis of the central installation operation of Charles University's LMS Moodle for teaching from 2004 to 2010 gives a good picture of the aspects associated with the operation LMS Moodle, which would help assisting in management of LMS Mooodle Mefanet. The tracking of an e-learning course's development within the central Moodle installation at the...

The dissertation aims to expand access through a low-cost technological innovation system S-MLS to learners in underdeveloped areas with difficulties in accessing education. Technology is advancing rapidly. However, many parts of the world need access to educational advances, which are hindered due to war, political situations, and low literacy and income. A qualitative phenomenological approach explores the lived experience using the solar-powered computing and learning management system (LMS) to support the development of educational access in underrepresented societies, developing countries, and rural areas where access to proper classroom education is non-existent. Proof of concept is used with a group of students in a rural area, a developing country, and within an underrepresented population to check the feasibility of using the equipment in a real-world setting. A technology acceptance model would be used to identify the user's perceived interest and user acceptance. The community of inquiry theory would find the first-hand experience and point of view of the learner. The student group interviews would be through semi-structured interviews. Observations, surveys, video/audio recordings, and artifacts would be gathered for further analysis. The data collected would be analyzed using interpretative phenomenology analysis (IPA), close examination, and management of development themes through thoughts, observations, and reflections on the technological experience and future research and implementations provided. The projected finding would be to check that a solar-powered Raspberry Pi system with MoodleBox operating system that runs Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) LMS would be feasible to provide learning underdeveloped areas to enhance education.

Les situations d'enseignement apprentissage évoluent en milieu universitaire, notamment par le déplacement de paradigme sur l'apprenant initié par les théories socioconstructivistes et la présence du numérique qui s'accroît. Aujourd'hui un intérêt particulier est dirigé sur les études relatives à des situations de classe où sont mises en œuvre des approches innovantes et complexes fondées sur des pratiques instrumentées par la technologie. Cela ouvre de nouveaux boulevards dans la recherche en éducation surtout en questionnant les outils technologiques en tant qu'artefacts pour des usages en enseignement, en apprentissage et en administration scolaire. Dans le lot de ces usages s'est développée une importante littérature à propos des approches collaboratives autour des interactions écrites ou verbales entre apprenants. Dans le contexte de l'enseignement supérieur en Afrique francophone ces usages sont très limités voire inexistants. Ainsi, comment engager des groupes d'apprenants dans des interactions écrites de nature collaborative autour de questions complexes devient un défi majeur dans ce contexte spécifique confronté, comme d'autres pays du monde, au renouveau pédagogique marqué par l'adoption d'un nouveau système, l'utilisation de l'approche par les compétences et l'intégration d'outils et d'environnements numériques dans les situations de formation. Cela a fondé l'objet de notre étude qui est axée sur la collaboration, plus spécifiquement sur les interactions écrites, partant du " Knowledge Building " comme théorie et modèle avancés de collaboration pour soutenir une démarche de production de connaissances. Notre étude s'est adossée au domaine du CSCL (Computer Supported Collaborative Learning) qui a servi de cadre d'ancrage des pratiques que nous avons mises en œuvre afin d'étudier la qualité de la collaboration à travers le discours écrit des apprenants. Nous avons exploré les interactions et la manière dont des groupes d'individus produisaient ensemble un savoir dans des situations pédagogiques instrumentées dont le design a été pensé progressivement pour amener les groupes d'apprenants à produire un savoir collectif. Pour cela nous avons lancé une démarche d'expérimentation qui s'est déroulée sur 3 itérations, soit avec trois cohortes de 2015 à 2019. Deux situations pédagogiques ont été mises en place et dans chacune d'elles trois équipes de six ou sept membres interagissant en tant que Knowledge Building Community (axe théorique), en faisant appel aux principes de coélaboration de connaissances, mais aussi aux scripts collaboratifs sur deux supports numériques (axe technologique). Les données furent récoltées grâce à différents sources et outils de collecte. L'approche méthodologique du Design Research (McKenney & Reeves, 2012) a guidé l'expérimentation et a permis d'interroger de manière itérative chaque intervention en vue d'un raffinement progressif du dispositif. Notre étude nous a mené à la formulation d'une grille d'analyse des interactions innovatrice puisqu'elle puise son ancrage dans des données collectées au sein d'un contexte singulier engageant des apprenants peu informés des pratiques collaboratives instrumentées. Elle présente différentes catégories qui permettent d'analyser qualitativement, dans un contexte comme le nôtre, les interactions écrites de groupes d'apprenants engagés dans un processus de collaboration axé sur la coélaboration de connaissances. Notre étude a permis également d'établir la nécessité d'agir sur deux mécanismes pour espérer une appropriation des principes de coélaboration de connaissances suffisante pour conduire à des interactions écrites de nature collaborative cohérentes, soit les scripts collaboratifs et les fonctionnalités de production de notes écrites des environnements technologiques. Elle s'ajoute aux travaux liés aux démarches méthodologiques fondées sur le design avec la recommandation d'usage d'outils métacognitifs qui permettent d'agir sur la compréhension des apprenants quant à la démarche à entreprendre individuellement et aussi avec d'autres. / Teaching and learning situations have been evolving, notably through the paradigm shift towards the learner, initiated by socioconstructivist theories and digital technologies. Today a particular interest is directed on studies related to classroom situations where innovative and complex approaches based on technology-instrumented practices are implemented. This opens new avenues in educational research, especially by questioning technological tools as artifacts for use in teaching, learning and school administration. An important literature on collaborative approaches, centered on learners' written or verbal interactions, has developed in the framework of these uses. In the context of higher education in Francophone Africa, these uses are very limited or non-existent. Thus, the major challenge becomes that of engaging groups of learners in written interactions of a collaborative nature, around complex questions in this specific context in which, as in other countries of the world, they face a pedagogical renewal marked by the adoption of a new system, the use of a competency-based approach and the integration of digital tools and environments in educational situations. This is at the origin of our study, which focuses on collaboration, more specifically on written interactions, using Knowledge Building as theory. Our study is therefore anchored in the practices of the CSCL domain. We explored the interactions and the way groups of individuals produced knowledge together in instrumented pedagogical situations progressively designed to this end. We launched an experimental approach inclusive of 3 iterations involving three student cohorts from 2015 to 2019. Two pedagogical situations were set up and, in each of them, three teams of six or seven members interacted as a Knowledge Building Community (theoretical axis), using the principles of Knowledge Building and also collaborative scripts on two distinct digital platforms (technological axis). Data were collected using different sources and gathering tools. The methodological approach, Design Research (McKenney & Reeves, 2012), guided the experimentation and made it possible to iteratively question each intervention with a view to progressively refine the system. Our study led us to the formulation of an interaction analysis grid, an innovation anchored in data collected within a singular context involving learners with little information about instrumented collaborative practices. The study presents different categories that make it possible to qualitatively analyze, in a similar context, the written interactions of groups of learners engaged in a collaborative process focused on knowledge Building. Our study has also established the need to act on two mechanisms for a sufficient appropriation of the Knowledge Building principles leading to coherent written interactions of a collaborative nature, namely collaborative scripts and written note production functionalities of technological environments. Finally, our study adds to design-based research works focused on the use metacognitive tools that make it possible to act on learners' understanding of the process to be undertaken individually and also with others.

Thesis (MPhil (Modern Foreign Languages))--University of Stellenbosch, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The decline in the Grade 12 pass rate in South Africa has been a cause for widespread concern. While this decline in is the result of the interplay of many factors, one of them is undoubtedly that teachers and pupils often find themselves in situations where they do not have access to adequate resources. This study is a formative evaluation of material that was created with the Moodle learning management system, in order to provide teachers and learners with resources that can be made readily available online. These resources are accessible from computers and cellular phones with internet connectivity. The resources not only provide content, but also learning activities that can be used either by individual learners, or with a teacher in a classroom environment. In the absence of a teacher, the activities could also provide meaningful feedback to aid learners in the learning process. Two courses were created in the Moodle Learning Management System that cover work prescribed for Grade 12, English First Additional Language for the period 2009 to 2010; namely the prescribed short stories and the play, Nothing But The Truth by John Kani. A number of activities are evaluated according to usage and feedback that they provide. The outcome of the study is that it is possible to provide learners with online learning materials which will enable them to prepare thoroughly for the final examinations. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die daling in die Graad 12 slaagsyfer veroorsaak kommer in baie geledere. Alhoewel hierdie daling die gevolg kan wees van baie faktore, is een van die redes dat onderwysers en leerlinge hulle dikwels in 'n situasie bevind waar hulle nie die nodige toegang tot die nodige leermateriaal het nie. Hierdie studie doen ‘n formatiewe evaluering van die leerprogram wat ontwerp is met behulp van Moodle, 'n leerbeheerstelsel, om onderwysers en leerders van die nodige leermateriaal te voorsien. Die leermateriaal is toeganklik vanaf beide ‘n rekenaar en 'n selfoon met internet toegang. Hierdie leermateriaal verskaf nie net statiese inligting nie, maar bevat leeraktiwiteite wat deur leerders op hulle eie gebruik kan word, of saam met 'n onderwyser in 'n klaskamer. In die afwesigheid van 'n onderwyser kan die leermateriaal ook die nodige terugvoering verskaf, sodat dit leerders kan help in die leerproses. Twee kursusse is ontwerp as deel van 'n Moodle stelsel wat van die voorgeskrewe werk dek vir Graad 12, Engels Eerste Addisionele Taal vir die tydperk 2009 tot 2010; naamlik die voorgeskrewe kortverhale en die verhoogstuk, Nothing But The Truth, deur John Kani. 'n Aantal aktwiteite word evalueer ten opsigte van die gebruik en ook die terugvoering wat dit voorsien. Die resultate van die studie is dat dit wel moontlik is om voldoende studie materiaal aan Graad 12’s besikbaar te stel wat hulle kan gebruik om voor te berei vir die eindeksamen.
