Forskning visar att motivation är betydelsefullt för elevers inlärningsprocess och skolresultat. Med detta som utgångspunkt är syftet med denna underesökning att undersöka vilka orsaker som finns till bristande motivation hos eleverna i samband med modersmålsundervisningen samt vad lärare kan göra för att höja elevernas motivation i deltagandet av modrsmålsundervisningen. Denna kvalitativa studie utgår från sju intervjuer. Tre intervjuer av modersmålslärare och sju intervjuer med elever i högstadiet. Ur intervjuerna med lärare och elever framkom att de faktorer som påverkade elevens motivation var klassrumsklimat, schemat, relationer till omgivningen, gruppindelning och samarbetet mellan modersmålsläraren med övriga lärare inom andra skolämne. / Research has shown that motivation is of great importance for the individual student's learning process and school results. The purpose of the degree project is to investigate the causes of lack of motivation in students who participate in mother tongue teaching and what teachers can do to stimulate this lack of motivation. In a qualitative study, a number of interviews were conducted. On the one hand, three mother tongue teachers in the subjects Arabic, Dari and Polish were interviewed, and on the other hand students from year 6 to year 9. The interviews asked questions about what perceptions students have about their mother tongue, what teachers can do about lack of motivation and what framework factors effect teachers' attitudes. To learn the mother tongue. The results showed that students lack of motivation was due to various factors, including lack of time, work environment, less inclusion of the mother tongue subject, mother tongue teachers relätionship to teachers in other school subject. The conclusion we reached showed the mother tongue subject's role in the diversity ofh the school community, by strengthening the student's identity and personality, and we found som tips on measures for lack of motivation among students and teachers for the subject's mother tongue.

Syftet med vår studie är att undersöka modersmålslärares strategier för att välja läromedel samt motiven som ligger till grund för dessa val på deras modersmålsundervisning i somaliska och arabiska.Studien bygger på ett sociokulturellt perspektiv och ramverk som betonar att elever lär sig i samspel med andra människor, med hjälp av fysiska och intellektuella språkliga redskap liksom läromedel.Denna studie använde en kvalitativ forskningsmetod för att genomföra tio intervjuer med tio modersmålslärare från tre olika kommuner. Nio av intervjuerna genomfördes på plats, medan den tionde genomfördes via Zoom.Studiens empiriska resultat presenteras utifrån lärarnas upplevelser om läromedelsval, och analyseras utifrån olika teoretiska perspektiv.Resultatet har visat att elevernas språknivå och inlärningsbehov vara av yttersta betydelse när de modersmålslärarna väljer läromedel. Resultatet har också visat att läraren strävar efter att hitta läromedel som ofta stämmer överens med Skolverkets läroplan, även om att det är omöjligt att hitta läromedel som täcker hela delar i centrala innehållet i ämnet modersmål.Resultat har även visat att tillgänglighet och ekonomi är två avgörande faktorer som styr skolors inköp av läromedel. / The purpose of our study is to investigate mother tongue teachers' strategies for selecting teaching materials and the motivations underlying these choices in their mother tongue instruction in Somali and Arabic. The study is based on a sociocultural perspective and a framework that emphasizes that students learn in interaction with others, using physical and intellectual linguistic tools as well as teaching materials. This study employed a qualitative research method, conducting ten interviews with mother tongue teachers from three different municipalities. Nine of the interviews were conducted in person, while the tenth was carried out via Zoom. The empirical results of the study are presented based on the teachers' experiences with the selection of teaching materials and analyzed from various theoretical perspectives. The results have shown that students' language proficiency and learning needs are of utmost importance when mother tongue teachers choose teaching materials. The results have also indicated that teachers strive to find teaching materials that align with the Swedish National Agency for Education's curriculum, even though it is impossible to find materials that cover all aspects of the central content in the subject of mother tongue. Furthermore, the results have shown that accessibility and economics are two crucial factors influencing schools' procurement of teaching materials.

Orientador: Marina Célia Mendonça / Banca: Luciane de Paula / Banca: Maria Isabel de Moura / Resumo: Os avanços tecnológicos observados na contemporaneidade modificaram as formas de interação, produção, configuração e interpretação de enunciados. Essas modificações atingem diferentes campos de atividade, como o didático-pedagógico, que, hoje, possui fronteiras além do espaço físico escolar. Neste cenário, esta pesquisa de mestrado coloca em foco "novas" modalidades de ensino/aprendizagem praticadas na internet, nas quais estão presentes gêneros discursivos incomuns na esfera didático-pedagógica. O corpus selecionado são posts com fins didáticos do blog do Cursinho Pré-Vestibular Descomplica. A análise é centralizada na presença de gêneros que produzem humor - em especial, o meme - nestas práticas de ensino/aprendizagem. Interessa-nos a presença do humor como recurso didático nas relações de ensino e as modificações possíveis desta presença pensando em um histórico sobre as relações em ambientes de ensino/aprendizagem. Neste contexto, outras discussões foram suscitadas, como o próprio entendimento do meme como gênero do discurso, como memórias discursivas do espaço escolar, da imagem de aluno e de professor e o "uso" de gêneros do discurso no ensino de língua materna. O que pôde ser percebido, por meio das análises, é que os materiais disponíveis e suas respectivas formas de apresentação dialogam com o que temos tido, nas últimas décadas, nas salas de aula dos cursinhos presenciais do país: docentes que utilizam piadas e outros recursos humorísticos em seus discursos.

These modifications reach different activity fields, like the didactic-pedagogical, which has boundaries beyond the physical school space. In this scenario, this research focuses on "new" modalities of teaching/learning practiced on the internet, in which are present discourse genres that are uncommon in the didactic-pedagogical sphere. The selected corpus are didactical posts from the vestibular preparation course Descomplica. The analysis is centered on the presence of humor generating genres, especially the meme, in these teaching/learning practices. It is of our interest the presence of humor as a didactical resource in the teaching relations and possible modifications of this presence when we think about the history of the relations in teaching/learning environments. In this context, other discussions were raised, like the own understanding of meme as a discourse genre; the discursive memory of school space, student and teacher; and the "use" of discourse genres in mother tongue teaching. What could be perceived, through the analysis, is that available resources, and their respective ways of presentation, dialogue with what we had, in the last few decades, in the face-to-face vestibular preparation courses in Brazil: teachers who use jokes and other humor resources in their discourse. In the blog, this humor discourse takes ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

De caráter qualitativo-interpretativista, traz reflexões sobre a reescrita textual na prática de sala de aula, no contexto de construção do que denominamos Projetos Didáticos de Gênero (PDG), no qual são analisados os discursos de quatro professoras em entrevistas feitas antes e/ou depois da aplicação desses projetos, elaborados durante a formação continuada de que as atoras fizeram parte. Esses discursos foram analisados à luz do Interacionismo Sócio-Discursivo (ISD), a partir do folhado textual (BRONCKART, 2009) - a infraestrutura textual, através das sequências discursivas. Também foram inferidas representações relacionadas às ocorrências de termos vinculados à reescrita. Os resultados mostram que a reescrita ainda carece de reflexões por parte dos professores, para que esteja incorporada na prática docente de forma mais eficiente. A pesquisa contribui para os estudos linguísticos, relacionados ao ensino de língua materna, ao olhar para a reescrita na perspectiva do professor, no sentido de entender como acontecem as práticas de reescrita e como elas podem ser mais bem desenvolvidas para promover mais criticamente a educação linguística dos alunos. / This research has as aims to identify the importance given to the rewriting process as reflexive activity in representations of teachers participate in the continuing education project by training together for the development of the educational process of reading and writing textual production in Elementary Education. This project is coordinated by Ana Maria Mattos Guimarães and Dorotea Frank Kerschof PPGLA/Unisinos Observatory Program of Education / CAPES, and considers the rewriting process very important in language learning. As qualitative research interpretative brings reflections about textual rewriting practice in classroom, in the context of construction of the Gender Didatic Project (PDG), in which four teachers were interviewed before and/or after the implementation of these projects. During these interviews a corpus formed to interpret the representations of infrastructure textual sequences through discourse (Sociodiscursive Interactionism Bronckart, 2009). These forms of textual rolling had a relation to rewriting. The results show that rewriting still lacks reflections by teachers for incorporating teaching practice more efficiently. This research is related to the teaching of the mother tongue and has the capacity to promote language education in students.

Tem por objeto os projetos de letramento, entendidos como um modelo didático articulador dos estudos do letramento, da pedagogia de projetos e do aporte metodológico da pedagogia crítica. Seu objetivo geral é depreender princípios de ressignificação do ensino de escrita. Dada a perspectiva situada de ação e formação que, nesta pesquisa, se assume, os objetivos específicos são: a) delinear as práticas de letramento dos graduandos de Letras (PROBÁSICA/UFRN), da cidade de Nova Cruz, em suas diferentes esferas de atividade; ) mapear os acervos a que eles têm acesso; c) analisar os projetos de letramento como um modelo didático; d) compreender como o desenvolvimento de projetos de letramento contribui para a formação de professores e para a ressignificação do ensino da modalidade escrita de língua materna. Para acompanhar o processo dialético entre ação e formação docente, foi usada a estratégia de correlacionar os objetivos de uma disciplina acadêmica (Estágio Supervisionado I) a um concurso que focaliza ações entre professores,estudantes e membros da comunidade do entorno para o reconhecimento e a valorização de patrimônios da cultura local (Concurso Nacional Tesouros do Brasil). A análise dos dispositivos didáticos que parametrizam os eventos de cada projeto permitiu a verificação de um princípio estruturante - a prática social - e quatro categorias constituintes desse princípio: a interatividade e a dialogicidade; a situação social e suas pluralidades; a agência social; a pluralidade cultural. Sustentados nesses vértices, os projetos de letramento se apresentam como um modelo interessante para a formação do professor que visa à ampliação dos letramentos. A indicação desse modelo requer, entretanto, um maior investimento no diálogo entre a ação efetivada nas escolas de educação básica, os interesses de estudantes e professores e a reflexão acadêmica, a fim de que juntos possam sobrepujar os desafios que surgem no complexo processo de ensinar e aprender língua materna. / Abstract: This is an action research of ethnographic base which is inserted in the field of Applied Linguistics and, specifically, in the area of formation of mother tongue teachers. It focuses on the literacy projects, understood as a didactical model which articulates the studies of literacy, pedagogy projects and critic pedagogy methodological approach. Its general aim is to infer resignification principles from the writing teaching. Considering the situated action and formation perspective assumed in this research, the specific objectives are: a) to delineate the literacy practices of the students graduating in Letras (PROBÁSICA/UFRN), from Nova Cruz city, in their different spheres of activity; b) to map the database to which they have access; c) to analyze the literacy projects as didactic model; to comprehend how literacy projects development contribute to the formation of the teacher and to the resignification of the mother tongue writing modality teaching. To follow the dialectical process between action and teaching formation, it was used the strategy of correlating the objectives of an academic subject (Estágio Supervisionado I) to a contest which focuses actions among teachers, students and members of the community around the school to the recognition and valorization of the local culture patrimony (Concursos Nacional Tesouros do Brasil). The analysis of the didactical devices which parameterizes the events of each project allows the verification a structural principle - the social practice - and four categories which constitute that principle: the interactivity and the dialogicity; the social situation and its pluralities; the social agency; the cultural plurality. Based on those vertices, the literacy projects are presented as an interesting model to the formation of the teacher who aims at the extending the literacy processes. The indication of that model requires, however, a higher investment in dialogue between the action accomplished in schools of basic education, the students and teachers interest and the academic reflection, so that all together can overcome the challenges which arise during the complex mother tongue teaching and learning process. / Doutorado / Lingua Materna / Doutor em Linguística Aplicada

In this scientific essay I am describing and analysing the digital challenges in the classroom which lead to situations where the students take the role of a teacher leading to a situation which may challenge the teacher's authority. By implementing theories about teaching and practical knowledge I am evaluating the meaning of the teachers role in the nowadays more digital classroom from the perspective of a mothers tongue teacher, doing so by  evaluating my own experiences and through interviews with other teachers and reflections of existing research literature. The method in this study is essay-writing and my own reflection about the situation of new working conditions that I describe in my story that takes place in an ongoing pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic has led to new working methods including the inevitable usage of digital tools. In the reflection part I am studying the materials from the semi structured interviews with my colleagues where the teachers get to describe their own experiences and fears towards the increasing digitalization in their classrooms. The results have shown that the technical and digital challenges have had an ambivalent impact on teachers during the pandemic. It appears that digital tools are a support for their teaching and learning but can be used in different ways during lessons. Today all the teachers are using digital tools in the classroom, some more than others. The informants have confirmed my hypothesis that digitalizatilization affects the teachers status and authority. But the question if digitalisation increases or decreases the authority of a teacher can still be debated. Based on the decisions that we make, our authority is being affected - this sentence is a part of the conclusions in my study. The method of trial and error when approaching different bumps on the road allows us to find ways to approach those obstacles by implementing practical knowledge that appears with professional practice. With experience as a base one can experiment as well as question the used methods and therefore find new solutions to new challenges. / I min vetenskapliga essä beskriver jag och analyserar de digitala utmaningar i klassrummet som lett till situationer där elever klivit in i lärarrollen och får vara de som lär läraren och på så sätt kan utmana lärarens auktoritet. Med hjälp av teorier om lärandet och praktisk kunskap omfamnar jag betydelsen av lärarens roll i nutidens, allt mer digitala klassrum utifrån ett modersmålslärares perspektiv, egna berättelser, via intervjuer och reflektioner över existerande forskningslitteratur. Metoden i denna studie är essäskrivandet och min reflektion kring nya arbetsförhållanden vilka jag tar upp i min berättelse som utspelar sig under en pågående pandemi. Covid-19 pandemin har lett till nya arbetssätt med bland annat ofrånkomlig användning av digitala verktyg. I min reflektion ankrar jag således i mitt materialurval från semistrukturerade intervjuer med mina kollegor där modersmålslärarnas egna utsagor kring erfarenheter och farhågor inför den ökade digitaliseringen sätts i relation till tidigare forskning. Det har visat sig att de nya tekniska och digitala utmaningarna har haft en ambivalent påverkan på modersmålslärarens praktik under pandemin. Det framträder att digitala verktyg är ett stöd i undervisningen men de kan användas på olika sätt i modersmålslärarnas arbete. Idag använder alla lärare digitala verktyg i klassrummet, en del mer, andra mindre. Informanterna har bekräftat hypotesen att digitaliseringen påverkar lärarnas status och auktoritet men frågan om digitaliseringen höjer eller sänker lärarnas auktoritet kan fortfarande ställas och diskuteras. Av beslut vi gör, i vårt omdöme påverkas vår auktoritet - denna mening leder till en av slutsatserna i min studie. Att testa sig fram är en metod som kan passa bra för att tillämpa de praktiska kunskaper som uppstår i modersmålslärarnas yrkespraktik. Med erfarenhet som bas kan en experimentera, ifrågasätta och på så sätt finna nya lösningar.

The pass rate in mathematics is unsatisfactory both in South Africa and internationally. Historically disadvantaged students tend to underachieve even more due to a variety of hampering factors. An investigation into the reasons for underachievement in mathematics prompted the researcher to launch a study through which she wanted to remediate some of these identified problems. The research project took place at Technikon Northern Gauteng (TNG), and comprised of the implementation of tutorial sessions. The study was conducted by means of a quasi-experimental design using action research. The primary goal of this dissertation is to report on the process, outcomes and recommendations in order to facilitate improvement in practice. The researcher's overarching hypothesis was that tutorials in mathematics would have a positive effect on the achievement of first year mathematics students at TNG. The following questions were focussed on during the course of the study: ¨ What is the impact of mathematics tutorials on problem-solving abilities and critical thinking? ¨ What is the impact of tutorials on the self-image of the students, with reference to mathematics and mathematics achievement? ¨ What is the impact of tutorials on mathematics achievement? ¨ Which role could tutors play in the creation of role models? ¨ Do students have the need to communicate mathematically in their mother tongue? ¨ How successfully could portfolio assessment be implemented? Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered through a standardised questionnaire, the SOM, a specifically designed, structured questionnaire, observations, focus group interviews, reflective diaries and student records. Some of the findings include: ¨ Historically disadvantaged students § often possess a unsatisfactory study orientation; § apply inefficient time management; § suffer from mathematics anxiety; § do not show a correlation in terms of grade 12 symbols and success at tertiary level § often experience milieu deficit; § do not achieve according to their expectations; and § do not have a learning culture (COLT) at their disposal. ¨ Students generally perceived the tutorials as positive and contributing towards success. The students § did not often speak in their mother tongues; § appreciated the relaxed work tempo; and § utilise the support system of the smaller group. ¨ During the focus group interviews students recognised the following success factors: § regular class attendance; § completion of homework § planning and revision according to a study timetable. ¨ Students shared some personal experiences with the researcher, namely that § the tutorials boosted their self-image and make them willing to ask questions during lectures; § some tutors acted as positive role models; and § the consistent involvement of the lecturer motivated students. The statistical procedures revealed that the students in the experimental group did not perform significantly better than those in the control group, yet that does not diminish the value of the study in any way. The researcher recommends further research in the tertiary mathematics environment in order to empower students. / Dissertation (MEd (Curriculum Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2005. / Curriculum Studies / unrestricted
