O tema de investigação converge para a análise e interpretação de como duas escolas municipais em Presidente Prudente estão se organizando para enfrentar os novos desafios a elas colocados e como os professores constroem a sua prática docente diante desses novos desafios histórico-sociais. Nosso objetivo é analisar a organização dessas duas escolas e o trabalho que realizam diante das novas dimensões de seus processos pedagógicos: a formação da personalidade dos alunos; o trabalho e aceitação das diferenças e o trabalho com a comunidade. Para essa análise elegemos a metodologia qualitativa e utilizamos como instrumentos para captar a realidade das duas unidades de ensino em todo o seu dinamismo a observação direta, a análise documental, a entrevista semi-estruturada, além da pesquisa bibliográfica. Constituíram-se como referenciais teóricos centrais para a definição dessas dimensões de análise os conceitos desenvolvidos por Juan Carlos Tedesco e João Barroso. Partimos do pressuposto de que a prática docente é possibilitadora da construção de conhecimentos e que à escola cabe incluir e integrar todos e trabalhar com as novas dimensões da formação dos alunos em seus processos educativos. Como resultado de nosso trabalho percebemos que há nessas duas unidades de ensino uma preocupação com as novas demandas da escola, que são pontuadas nos Projeto Políticos Pedagógicos construídos coletivamente; uma preocupação incessante com a qualidade da educação oferecida; um espaço de formação garantido nos HTPC’s e uma atenção e envolvimento com a comunidade escolar... / The present study entitled Municipal Schools: the search of answers to the challenges contemporary in/of public, popular and democratic school is linked to the research line: Public politics, School Organization and Formation of Teachers. The investigation theme converges for the analysis and interpretation on how two municipal schools in Presidente Prudente are being organized to face the new challenges put to them and how the teachers are building their educational practice in front of those new historical-social challenges. Our objective is to analyze the organization of these two schools and the work that they accomplish in front of the new dimensions of their pedagogic processes: the formation of the students' personality; the work and acceptance of the differences and the work with the community. For that analysis we chose the qualitative methodology and we used as instruments to capture the reality of the two schools in all their dynamism the direct observation, the documental analysis, the semi-structured interview, besides the bibliographical research. They were constituted as central theoretical frame of reference for the definition of those analysis dimensions the concepts developed by Juan Carlos Tedesco and João Barroso. We departed from the presupposition that the educational practice makes possible the construction of knowledge and that it’s up to the school to include and to integrate all students and to work with the new dimensions of the students' formation in their educational processes. As a result of our work we noticed that there are in those schools a concern with the new demands of the school, that are punctuated in the Pedagogic Political Project collectively built; an incessant concern with the quality of the education that is offered; a guaranteed formation space in HTPCs and an attention and involvement with the school community. Both are in constant movement... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Nosso interesse foi de investigar como processos que ocorrem no âmbito da política pública oferecem um campo para a problematização dos espaços públicos a partir do projeto pedagógico e do processo educacional. Realizamos uma cartografia a partir dos afetos recolhidos na experiência, descrevendo os aspectos que nos permitem compreender a dimensão política do ambiente para o viver no meio urbano com a abrangência da ecologia considerada em sua abordagem física, mas com atenção sobre os seus desdobramentos para o ambiente dos vínculos e para o ambiente do pensamento. Deste modo, confrontamos as três perspectivas da ecologia com os processos de constituição do sujeito ao articular os estudos de educação popular e ambiental com os estudos sobre os processos de subjetivação. / The work is resulted of experience lived in the municipal district of Suzano, São Paulo (2010-2012), in that is was build a process of construction of the Politics Municipal System of Environmental Education, one of the axes of this politics was the Program of Popular Environmental Education, I focus of our studies in the research. Our interest was of investigating as processes that happen in the extent of the public politics offer a field for the problematization of the public spaces starting from the pedagogic project and of the education process. We accomplished a cartography starting from the affections collected in the experience, describing the aspects that allow o understand us the political dimension of the atmosphere for living in the urban way with the inclusion of the ecology considered in her physical approach, but whit attention on their unfolding for the atmosphere of the bonds and the atmosphere of thought.

Neste contexto foi considerado como objeto de estudo aspectos das trajetórias sociais desses professores, trazendo subjacente a elas a perspectiva de um habitus, como uma identidade que vai se constituindo. Tratou-se de um estudo de natureza qualitativa, do tipo descritivo, que teve como técnicas: observação, fonte documental e entrevista semi-estruturada. Os participantes foram quatro professores de Educação Física, classificados em iniciantes e experientes de acordo com o tempo de docência na área, sendo o trabalho de campo realizado em escolas públicas da rede municipal de uma cidade do interior do estado de São Paulo. Os dados foram apresentados em três eixos temáticos - "A escola como espaço social de formação, produção de sentidos e reprodução de estruturas pedagógicas"; "Entre o habitus de aluno e o habitus de professor: a manifestação dos saberes docentes", "O habitus profissional do professor de Educação Física Mediante tais eixos, constatou-se que na constituição docente as vivências percebidas na socialização primária com a Educação Física escolar e o esporte influenciaram a escolha pela profissão. Contudo, o ingresso no magistério foi principalmente justificado pela estima aos professores universitários, pelas disciplinas específicas do curso e pelos estágios. Na constituição do habitus professoral, as ações didáticas, a hexis corporal, e a postura revelaram um habitus social e uma manifestação plural dos saberes docentes (profissionais, disciplinares, curriculares e experiências)...

In this context, as object of study, it was relevant the social aspects in the life of the teachers, not ignoring the underlying perspectives of a habitus related to the continuous process of construction of the educational identity. This study had a qualitative and descriptive nature, and the manipulated techniques were the observation, the research in documental sources and the semi-structured interviews. The participants were four teachers, classified in beginners and experts, in agreement with period of teaching in the area. The fieldwork took place at public schools of a municipal district of São Paulo. The information came in three thematic lines, that is: "The school as social space of formation, production of senses and reproduction of pedagogic structures"; "Between student's habitus and teacher's habitus: the expression of teachers knowledges"; and "The professional habitus of the teachers of Physical Education". By such lines, it was verified that in the educational constitution the existences noticed in the primary socialization with the school physical education and the sport influenced the choice for the profession. However, the entrance in the teaching was mainly justified for the esteem to the academicals teachers, for the specific subjects of the course and for the apprenticeships. In the constitution of the professorial habitus, the didactic actions, the corporal hexis, and the posture revealed a social habitus and a multiple manifestation of teachers knowledges.

Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo envolvendo um grupo de professores de uma escola da rede pública do Estado de São Paulo, situada na cidade de Presidente Prudente. O objetivo principal da pesquisa foi identificar as representações sociais desenvolvidas por esses professores sobre o projeto pedagógico e, mais especificamente o projeto pedagógico da escola, para o aprofundamento do significado deste importante documento na instituição escolar. Partindo da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional, nº. 9.394 de 20/12/1996, que estabelece que as escolas devam "elaborar e executar" seu projeto pedagógico procuramos investigar, pela utilização da teoria das representações sociais, como os professores, sujeitos de nossa pesquisa constroem representações sobre o seu trabalho e o ambiente escolar. Esse processo é caracterizado por uma dialética, ou seja, pensam e produzem representações construídas por outros indivíduos dos grupos aos quais pertencem, reelaborando-as e partilhando-as novamente num movimento infinito de recebimento, processamento, construção/reconstrução de significados sobre a realidade social partilhada. A partir do levantamento de dados coletados por meio dos instrumentos de pesquisa utilizados: questionário, entrevista semi-estruturada, utilização do software ALCESTE e grupo de discussão, os professores demonstraram um distanciamento que ocorre entre o projeto formal, que está no papel, e aquele que realmente ocorre no cotidiano escolar. Pôde-se constatar que o sistema oficial de ensino muitas vezes colabora para que as propostas feitas com base na legislação não sejam cumpridas integralmente.

This is a qualitative study involving a group of teachers from a school in São Paulo state, located in Presidente Prudente. The main objective of the research was to identify the social representations developed by these teachers who are teaching things from the project, and more specifically the school project, to deep the meaning of this important document in school. Under the Act, the guidelines and bases for National Education, No. 9,394 of 20/12/1996, which establishes that schools must "develop and implement" the pedagogic project, we tried to investigate, by the use of the theory of social representations, such as teachers, subjects of our research who construct representations about their work and the environment school and the process is characterized by a dialectic, or they think and produce representations built by other individuals of the groups to which they belong to, doing them and sharing them again in an infinite movement of receiving, processing, construction / reconstruction of meanings about on a shared social reality. From the survey data collected by the instruments used to search: questionnaire, semi-structured interview, use of the software ALCESTE and discussion in group, the teachers demonstrated a gap that occurs between the formal project, which is on paper, and that that happens in everyday school. It was noted that the official system of education often collaborates to the proposals made on the basis of the legislation are not met in full. It was highlighted the contribution that the project could represent, and the possibility of collective participation that should be expanded, which a decade ago was unthinkable in public the schools. This finding, according to the teachers, enables a new type of organization of school work, which contributes to the...(Complete abstract, click electronic access below) / Mestre

Caracteriza-se por ser tanto uma estratégia metacognitiva quanto de aprendizagem auto-regulada. Envolve a capacidade metacognitiva porque requer consciência da necessidade de ajuda. Além disso, revela um comportamento auto-regulado, na medida em que os estudantes exibem autodeterminação para superar uma dificuldade ao pedir ajuda a alguém que tenha mais conhecimento. Pesquisas sobre a estratégia de pedir ajuda no contexto educacional brasileiro são escassas. Nesse sentido, os objetivos da presente pesquisa foram verificar a concepção de pedir ajuda dos estudantes e investigar as relações entre essa estratégia e à série escolar, o gênero, a orientação motivacional e a autoeficácia dos estudantes. Fizeram parte do estudo 159 estudantes da 2ª, 3ª e 4ª séries de uma escola pública do município de Campinas. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: uma entrevista estruturada com questões abertas sobre a estratégia de pedir ajuda, uma escala de pedir ajuda, duas escalas de motivação e uma escala de auto-eficácia. Os estudantes mencionaram utilizar a estratégia de pedir ajuda, seja para a realização de em tarefas escolares, como para atividades cotidianas. Revelaram que o pedido de ajuda é feito de forma verbal. Diferenças entre o uso da estratégia de pedir ajuda e a série escolar foram encontradas. Os estudantes da 2ª série se diferenciam significativamente dos da 3ª e 4ª séries por apresentarem uma compreensão negativa dessa estratégia. Não foram constatadas relações significativas entre o uso do pedir ajuda e a variável gênero. A estratégia de pedir ajuda apresentou uma correlação positiva com a crença de auto-eficácia e uma correlação negativa com a motivação. Os dados são discutidos em termos da necessidade de se criar uma ambiente de sala de aula favorável ao uso da estratégia de pedir ajuda, bem como o papel do professor quanto à promoção do pedir ajuda nesse ambiente. / Abstract: The help-seeking strategy is very important to the learning process of the students. This strategy is characterized not only by metacognition, but also by self-regulated learning. Metacognition is envolved when it requires one to be conscious of the necessity of help. Self-regulated learning behavior takes place when the students demonstrate selfdetermination in order to overcome their issues by requesting the assistance of someone who is more knowledgeable. Research on help-seeking strategy in the Brazilian educational system is very scarce. Therefore, the primary objectives of this study were to verify the foundations of help-seeking strategy in students and to investigate the relationship between this strategy and their school level, gender, motivation and students self-efficacy. There were 159 students taking part in the research, ranging from 2ª to 4ª grade of a public school in the city of Campinas. The key instruments on the research were as follows: a structured interview with open-ended questions regarding the help-seeking strategy, a scale of helpseeking strategy, two motivational scales and one self-efficacy scale. The students admitted to employ the help-seeking strategy when carrying out both schoolwork and tasks of everyday life. They reported that the help-seeking strategy was verbally conducted. There were differences in the use of strategies considering the school grade level. The 2ª graders differed greatly from 3ª and 4ª graders in the sense that they displayed a more negative understanding of this strategy. There was not a significant relationship between the use of help-seeking strategy and gender. A positive correlation was found between the helpseeking strategy and the belief of self-efficacy, but a negative correlation was found between the strategy and motivation. The information gathered was discussed in terms of the need to create an atmosphere in the classroom that encourages the use of help-seeking strategy and the role of the teacher to promote the use of this strategy. / Mestrado / Psicologia Educacional / Mestre em Educação

Magister Commercii (Information Management) - MCom(IM) / There is a dire need to transform Mathematics education in the schooling system in South Africa as this is evident by the poor learner performance in the Mathematics examination results. There is a high failure rate in Mathematics at schools and the number of learners taking Mathematics up to the grade twelve level is on the decline. This study investigates the integration of computer technology in Mathematics education to improve learner performance. / South Africa

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Poor performance by South African students especially in literacy and numeracy are at a level of national crisis. Theory, as well as international and national systemic tests, show that the reasons for this is both multiple and extremely complex. In this study I investigated the problems relating to learner achievement levels in South African education. The main question arising from this problem, which I addressed, is: What are the possible factors that contribute to learner achievement levels in South Africa? My conceptual focus is on pedagogic practices and the socialization of identity, and how these relate to learner achievement levels, working from the premise that children from different social classes experience schooling differently. My focus is on the classroom, phase and school contexts, whilst locating these in the wider national, continental and global contexts. The disciplinary approach used in this study is in the domain of sociology of education, drawing specifically on the work of leading sociologists Pierre Bourdieu and Basil Bernstein. Bourdieu’s notions of ‘habitus’, ‘field’ and ‘cultural capital’ helped in understanding structure and agency, and the interiority and exteriority of social relations, whereas Bernstein’s ‘code theory’ and his work on curriculum, pedagogic practices and pedagogic discourse was used to describe how formal knowledge is realized and transmitted, and its effects on different social groupings. Methodologically, this study is located within a qualitative interpretivist research paradigm. Research was conducted in three purposively selected public primary schools in the Western Cape using a qualitative multiple case study research design. The bounded cases were Grades 1, 4 and 7 learners in relation to their teachers and principals. The rationale for selecting these particular cases stems from the fact that research in these particular areas of schooling is lacking. The significance of the study lies in the fact that previous research on learner achievement used teacher behaviour as a predictor for achievement, whereas this study focused primarily on learner behaviour and the learners’ views on their own achievement. The study employed in-depth data collection procedures including questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations and various document related sources. The contextual analysis reveals that there is clearly a need to understand the nature of the learner, what they bringing into school and how they make sense of schooling. Furthermore, it shows that the ways in which learners exercise their agency is reinforcing underachievement. It further reveals that teachers are under pressure to get learners to adhere to the middle-class ethos of schooling and as a result are pushed into the regulative discourse compromising the instructional discourse within pedagogy. Pedagogically, the analysis reveals that teachers are under pressure in terms of curriculum coverage having to work within restricted time-frames, and having to meet the requirements of the ANAs that they do not see the possibility to relax framing in terms of pacing. As a result they are leaving their learners behind. Furthermore, the unnecessary strong framing at the level of pacing, not making the evaluation criteria explicit, and the heavy reliance on systemic testing, as in the case of the ANAs, is creating homogenised and standardised learner identities, which translate into differential learner experiences and ultimately differential learner achievement levels. / National Research Foundation (NRF)

Education has undergone much change in post-apartheid South Africa. New school policies and curricula are some of the changes that have impacted education in significant ways. An important consequence of all this is that classrooms have become more racially mixed and/or culturally diverse. Teachers have also had to adjust to the changes in their classrooms not only in pedagogic terms, but also in terms of perceptions of learners and more importantly, their attitudes towards learners. The study was conducted at three Co Ed schools in the Gauteng South district. The schools are all situated in Eldorado Park. The aim of the research was to investigate ways in which teachers’ attitudes, as perceived by learners, affect learners’ engagement in their own learning. A case study methodology within the qualitative paradigm was employed. Data was collected through learner focus group interviews. The main research question was: In what pedagogical ways, as perceived by high and low achieving learners, do teachers transmit attitudes of care, trust and expectations to learners. The findings indicated that there are differences in learners’ perceptions and experiences of teachers’ pedagogical ways, particularly with regard to low achieving learners. Moreover, the low achieving learners had significantly different, mainly negative, experiences of pedagogical ways. The study concluded that in order for learning to be facilitated, certain pedagogical means/ways are required to transmit attitudes of care, trust and expectations. This study suggests that there is room for further research in this field.

This paper will report on the findings of the research that was conducted in a private school in Johannesburg about mathematics teachers’ identities described in policy and how these are demonstrated in practice. The central questions that guided the study were: ‘How are identities of mathematics teachers described in the new mathematics curriculum policy?’ and ‘How are these identities demonstrated in practice?’ I anticipated comparing teacher’s personal pedagogic and official pedagogic identities in classroom practice for Further Education and Training (FET) band from learners’ perspective since learners are at the center of the Outcome-Based-Education (OBE). This study was informed by theoretical concepts of ‘identity’ from Gee (2001), Boaler and Greeno (2000), and Jansen (2001). Naidoo and Parker’s (2005), Jita and Vandeyar (2006) and Parker (2006) analyzed tension between personal pedagogic and official pedagogic subject identities of South African teachers provided me a contextualized framework for this study. My analysis confirms that although the two teachers’ identities still have tension, reconstruction of the ‘new face’ of the teachers is on progress that has relation with ‘the kind of teacher’ is referred by the NCS.
