No. of bitstreams: 1 shirleydecassiapereiramachadodemiranda.pdf: 1059765 bytes, checksum: 4f43f95595ac11044fd1156cf44c1783 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-05-09 / O presente trabalho parte da constatação de que a ausência de um programa institucional de acolhimento e de acompanhamento sistemático dos docentes durante os anos iniciais da carreira na Rede Municipal de Educação (RME) de Belo Horizonte – em particular dos profissionais que trabalham em área de risco e vulnerabilidade social – compromete a permanência no cargo e o desenvolvimento profissional. Buscando compreender esta questão, o objetivo é descrever e analisar o exercício da profissão docente durante o Estágio Probatório de professores do Ensino Fundamental da RME/BH e, por fim, propor um Plano de Ação Educacional (PAE) com vistas a reduzir os problemas e dificuldades observados. O período em questão antecede a aquisição de estabilidade no cargo, considerada a última etapa do processo de ingresso no serviço público. Para evidenciar a complexidade que envolve o exercício da docência nesta fase inicial da carreira, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores das Secretarias Municipais de Educação e de Recursos Humanos, com gestores escolares e professoras do Ensino Fundamental que se encontram no estágio probatório. Através destas entrevistas e de observação sistemática, delineou-se, resguardados os limites, o perfil dos docentes recém-ingressos. A análise de como esses docentes lidam com a ausência de uma política institucional de inserção de educadores tem como suporte teórico os autores Maurice Tardif, Miguel Arroyo, Philippe Perrenoud e Inês Teixeira. O escopo da pesquisa comporta ainda a comparação com outras políticas de apoio e formação de professores iniciantes implementadas em redes públicas de educação no Brasil e no exterior. Com base na descrição e análise do caso, apresenta o Plano de Ação Educacional que visa potencializar a inserção dos professores no início da carreira na RME/BH. O PAE está dividido em três eixos: o primeiro diz respeito à regionalização do concurso público na RME/BH. O segundo eixo à inclusão de uma formação inicial logo após a Entrada em Exercício. O terceiro eixo à adoção de uma formação continuada, durante os três primeiros anos que compõem o estágio probatório. / This study starts from the observation that the absence of an institutional program reception and systematic monitoring of teachers during the early years of his career in the Municipal Education System in the city of Belo Horizonte (RME/BH) - particularly professionals working in risk areas and social vulnerability - undertakes to permanency in office and professional development. In an attempt to understand this issue, the objective of this study is to describe and analyze the performance of the teaching profession during stage probationary teacher of Elementary Education of RME/BH and, finally, to propose an Educational Action Plan (PAE) aimed at reducing the problems and difficulties encountered. The period in question before the acquisition stability in office, considered the last step in the process of entering the public service. To highlight the complexity involved during the initial stage of a teaching career, semi-structured interviews were conducted with administrators from the Municipal Secretaries of Education and of Human Resources, with school administrators and with elementary school teachers during their probationary period. Through these interviews and systematic observation, was outlined, preserved the limits, the profile of the beginning teachers. The analysis of how these teachers deal with the absence of an institutional policy of inserting educators has like theoretical framework the authors Maurice Tardif, Miguel Arroyo, Philippe Perrenoud and Inês Teixeira. The scope of this research also involves a comparison with other support policies and beginning teachers education implemented in networks of public education in Brazil and abroad. Based on the description and analysis of the case, presents the Educational Action Plan which aims to maximize the placement of teachers in the beginning of their careers with RME/BH. The PAE is divided into three sections. The first concerns the regionalization of the civil service exam for RME/BH. The second section focuses on the inclusion of initial teacher education shortly after the entry into exercise. The third section pertains to the practice of on-going education during the first three years, which make up the probationary period.

Attrition rate is high for beginning teachers in an urban school district in the Northeast United States. Without a proper support system in place, new teachers struggled transitioning from their preparation programs into the classroom. This study focused on recent graduates from a teacher preparation program at a large local university. The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of preparedness of recent graduates from the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC) accredited preparation program. The TEAC standards provided the conceptual framework which informed the interview guides. The research questions focused on the perceived readiness of new teachers, the skills or aptitudes identified as strengths or weaknesses due to perceived gaps in preparation, and how teachers adapted what they learned in the graduate program. Using a case study design, the insights of eight recent graduates, with fewer than two years of experience, and 2 supervising professors from the university who had supervised student teachers were captured. Purposeful sampling was used to select the participants. Emergent themes were identified through an open coding process, and the findings were developed and checked for trustworthiness through member checking and triangulation. The findings revealed five perceived new teacher weaknesses: parent involvement, math instruction, classroom technology, time management, and teacher stress management. The culminating project for this research used these results to inform the content of a professional development workshop for new teachers. This study has implications for positive social change by providing a structure for improving the preparedness of new teachers.

Educators at a public high school in Southeastern United States depend on mentor teachers to minimize the attrition rate among beginning teachers, yet the strategies implemented by mentors lack definition and clarity. The purpose of this study was to explore mentor teachers' perceptions of effective mentoring strategies and their needs when mentoring new teachers. Maslow's humanistic learning theory guided this bounded basic qualitative study. The research questions focused on the mentoring strategies mentor teachers perceived as effective and the needs of the mentors. Ten high school mentor teachers, who currently mentor new teachers, were purposefully selected to participate in individual and focus group interviews. Precoding, open and axial coding were used to inductively analyze the data. The results showed mentors promote school culture, are a source of information, build relationships, use data to drive discussion, provide opportunity for reflection, conduct observations, connect theory with practice, and model professional behavior as effective strategies. Mentor teachers indicated that effective communication is crucial when mentoring new teachers. Additionally, they need specific skills to help beginning teachers better understand the reality of teaching and address their unrealistic expectations of the profession. Based on the findings a 3-day professional development for mentor teachers was developed to address mentors' needs. This endeavor may contribute to positive social change when district administration provides mentor teachers with professional development to enrich their mentoring strategies which in turn may address the challenges new teachers experience and reduce the attrition rate.

Ancrée dans le domaine de la didactique des mathématiques, notre thèse cible le « travail de l’erreur » effectué par trois enseignants dans leur première année de carrière. Libérés des contraintes associées au système de formation initiale, ces sujets assument pleinement leur nouveau rôle au sein de la classe ordinaire. Ils se chargent, entre autres, de l’enseignement de l’arithmétique et, plus précisément, de la division euclidienne. Parmi leurs responsabilités se trouvent le repérage et l’intervention sur les procédures erronées. Le « travail de l’erreur » constitue l’expression spécifique désignant cette double tâche (Portugais 1995). À partir d’un dispositif de recherche combinant les méthodes d’observation et d’entrevue, nous documentons des séances d’enseignement afin de dégager les situations où nos maîtres du primaire identifient des erreurs dans les procédures algorithmiques des élèves et déploient, subséquemment, des stratégies d’intervention. Nous montrons comment ces deux activités sont coordonnées en décrivant les choix, décisions et actions mises en œuvre par nos sujets. Il nous est alors possible d’exposer l’organisation de la conduite de ces jeunes enseignants en fonction du traitement effectif de l’erreur arithmétique. En prenant appui sur la théorie de champs conceptuels (Vergnaud 1991), nous révélons l’implicite des connaissances mobilisées par nos sujets et mettons en relief les mécanismes cognitifs qui sous-tendent cette activité professionnelle. Nous pouvons ainsi témoigner, du moins en partie, du travail de conceptualisation réalisé in situ. Ce travail analytique permet de proposer l’existence d’un schème du travail de l’erreur chez ces maîtres débutants, mais aussi de spécifier sa nature et son fonctionnement. En explorant le versant cognitif de l’activité enseignante, notre thèse aborde une nouvelle perspective associée au thème du repérage et de l’intervention sur l’erreur de calcul de divisions en colonne. / Rooted in the Didactic of Mathematics’ field, this thesis looks into the practice of three new teachers. Free from the constraints and pressures associated with the teacher training context, these subjects take on a new role in their first year on the job. Among all of the affiliated responsibilities are those related to the teaching of arithmetic and, more specifically, the long division algorithm. “Le travail de l’erreur” is the expression used by Portugais (1995) to design error management by the teacher. It includes the diagnosis of errors and the strategies unfurled to help the pupil remedy his/her mistakes. This double task is the object of this study. Combining research methods of observation and interview, we aim to describe error management in a regular elementary class setting. We delineate situations where our subjects identify and intervene on errors made by students during the arithmetic procedure. We examine how these two activities are coordinated, by documenting the novice teachers choices, decisions and actions. We focus on the organization of their conduct throughout the different situations. A theoretical framework based on the “conceptual field theory” or “théorie des champs conceptuels” (Vergnaud, 1991) enables us to reveal the implicit teaching knowledge comprised in the behavior adopted by the young professionals. This analysis reveals the dynamics of piagetian assimilation/ accommodation mechanisms. It also gives us evidence of the conceptualizing process underlying teacher conduct. We utilize the concept of “scheme” to better understand this cognitive activity. We propose the existence of “le schème du travail de l’erreur” and aim to specify his nature and function. This allows us to describe the conceptual structure, which shapes and organizes the novice’s ability to manage errors in their pupil’s calculation of written divisions.

La réflexion sur l’intégration au travail des nouvelles enseignantes touche de plus en plus la communauté des chercheurs en éducation. Avec la valorisation de la pratique réflexive, l’enseignante se voit plus que par le passé autorisé à exercer une grande liberté d’action dans son travail, ainsi qu’une grande autonomie en ce qui à trait à l’exécution de sa tâche. Cette liberté peut être lourde à porter, surtout lorsqu’on entre dans le métier. Aussi, pour soutenir cette liberté et la diriger, la référence aux valeurs demeure fondamentale. Dans le présent mémoire, nous tentons d’en savoir plus sur les valeurs qui animent ces nouvelles venues, et comment celles-ci les aident à vivre leur intégration et à concevoir leur place dans le métier. La cueillette des données effectuée à partir de leurs réflexions, souvent profondes, sur les valeurs personnelles, les valeurs au travail et le rapport au métier, permet une analyse du discours basée sur le ressenti et l’expérience. C’est en puisant dans les thèses de la modernité et de la postmodernité, toutes deux parlantes quant à l’époque actuelle, que nous tentons de mieux cerner et induire les valeurs propres aux enseignantes ayant participé à notre étude phénoménologique de type exploratoire. Grâce à l’analyse de contenu, nous sommes à même de constater que malgré une ligne de partage présente entre certaines valeurs dites modernes et postmodernes, il n’en demeure pas moins qu’une tendance se dessine : nos nouvelles enseignantes désirent être fidèles d’abord et avant tout à elles-mêmes, même si cela implique l’abandon du métier qu’elles envisagent toutes comme une possibilité, sans exception. Cela en dit long sur leurs priorités et leurs valeurs au travail. Il est clair qu’elles travaillent de manière à se sentir authentiques, toujours avec le souci de savoir s’adapter aux nouvelles situations. Cependant, même si certaines d’entre elles trouvent plus ardu de s’adapter à une demande en matière de flexibilité professionnelle à la hausse, il n’en demeure pas moins que la flexibilité au travail est un élément désormais bien intégré à l’habitus professionnel des enseignantes pratiquant depuis dix ans et moins. Si postmodernes que ça nos nouvelles enseignantes? Oui. / The integration of new teachers in their working environment is more and more the focus of interest in the education research community. With the upcoming of reflexive practice methods, there is a large space for autonomy in nowadays teaching environments, which can be heavy to handle especially at the beginning of professional practice. Facing this freedom implies a reference to certain values in order to handle well educational tasks. This master focuses on those values which are inspiring young teachers and help them deal with the beginning of their profession. Furthermore this work provides an analysis, based on deep reflections of new teachers, which gives an intuitive sense of their values and relations concerning their workplace. The interpretation of our data is done through the perspectives of modernity and postmodernity, which presently seem to have an important impact on young educators professional values. The analysis of the survey underlying this work shows, in spite of the presence of common modern and postmodern values, a significant interesting tendency. The interrogated teachers seem to be foremost true to themselves, even if it leads to the abandonment of their profession, a fact which seems to be a reflection of the balance between their professional priorities and their personal values. It is obvious that these young teaching professionals aspire to work in the most possible authentic way. Even if some of them deal with difficulties in facing work flexibility and adaptation, the analysis confirms that these values are well integrated in their professional habitus.
