A new paradigm is slowly making its way into society, affecting our material practice as designers. Materials selection in design and product development has for a long time been dominated by a purely technical approach, mainly focusing on properties and performance. With the increasing evidence of climate change, waste and pollution, environmental effects, we are slowly realizing that unsustainable consumption of materials is no longer an alternative. Previous studies of material practices, both within design educations and the design profession, has primarily dealt with the development of material related methods. This thesis has focused on gaining an in-depth understanding of material practices within design processes, in order to develop a pedagogical framework that facilitates the development of reflective material practices in design education. There are four primary aims of the research presented in this licentiate thesis: (1) ascertain obstacles in the traditional ways of teaching materials to design students, (2) to bridge the differences in language, research culture and pedagogic approaches in design education, (3) to investigate current professional material practices in industrial design, and (4) to develop a new material framework for teaching reflective material practices for design students. During the project, the material framework has been tested and evaluated in two mandatory material courses with first and second year bachelor students from Product Design education over a period of four academic years. A comparative case study was conducted with five design consultancies. The qualitative interviews were transcribed and analysed using category zooming. The outcomes of this research are: (1) a new pedagogic framework for teaching materials to Product Design students in higher education, and (2) insights into professional practices of selecting and designing with materials. The pedagogic model A Material Framework for Product Design is designed to facilitate the development of reflective material practices in design education. The Framework consist of four levels: (1) a pedagogical foundation based on Experiential Learning theory that provide a framework for how to approach teaching and learning, (2) designing and structuring learning activities, (3) creating learning environments that facilitate learning activities, and (4) defining learning objectives, assessment of learning outcomes and detecting signs of learning. The main insights from the study of professional practices suggest: (1) that risk management has a major influence on the material selection process, (2) that negotiations of project boundaries in the ‘fuzzy’ pre-design phase has crucial influence on the risk management aspect of the material criteria activities, and (3) a lack of awareness, that design briefs usually outline material criteria expressed as sensorial characteristics, which are later translated by engineering into final material criteria used for the material selection process. The findings implies that design students would benefit from developing reflective material practices in design education.

[pt] A presente pesquisa apresenta entendimentos gerados a partir de alguns tropeços durante a minha caminhada de prática na Prática Exploratória. O jogo de palavras é intencional, porque me deparei com determinadas lacunas entre o que estudei em textos sobre a Prática Exploratória, e o que aconteceu nas minhas aulas enquanto praticante da mesma. Realizei o trabalho exploratório, em 2008, em turmas do oitavo ano do ensino fundamental e do segundo ano do ensino médio em uma escola particular na zona sul do Rio de Janeiro. A partir de questionamentos ou puzzles de sala de aula que instigavam os alunos e a mim, elaborei atividades pedagógicas com potencial exploratório (APPE), que visavam trabalhar a construção de conhecimento em língua inglesa, mas tinham como objetivo último, entendermos mais profundamente a qualidade de vida de nossa na sala de aula. O discurso produzido durante este trabalho para entender foi analisado em busca das crenças dos alunos como aprendizes de inglês como língua estrangeira. Apesar da palavra tropeços, empregada no título e no início deste resumo, ter uma conotação negativa, não é meu propósito significar as práticas apresentadas como erros ou falhas. Busco gerar reflexões sobre exemplos reais de atividades que, apesar de não terem acontecido como esperado, produziram entendimentos diversos sobre os alunos, minha atuação profissional, a instituição e nosso contexto pedagógico. Espero, através desta dissertação, incentivar outros professores-pesquisadores, que por ventura não tenham obtido resultados que julguem satisfatórios em seus primeiros passos na Prática Exploratória, a continuarem neste trajeto apesar de, às vezes, encontrarem, como diria Drummond, uma pedra no meio do caminho. / [en] This research aims at presenting understandings generated from some stumbles on my Exploratory Practice path. It is important to mention that I had to deal with some obstacles when I tried to put into practice the theory I had studied about Exploratory Practice. I carried out the exploratory work during 2008 in two different classes (8th year of Middle School and 2nd year of High School) at a private school in the south zone of Rio de Janeiro. Using my students’ and my own classroom puzzles expressed as a starting point, I designed some potentially exploitable pedagogic activities (PEPAs), which had language learning objectives but whose main purpose was to fundamentally help us understand the quality of our classroom lives. The discourse produced during this work for understanding was analyzed to unearth my students beliefs about their experience as foreign language learners. Although the word stumbles, used in the title and in the beginning of the present abstract, carries a negative connotation, my intention is by no means to consider the activities presented here as mistakes or flaws. On the contrary, my ultimate goal is to reflect upon examples of real activities that, even though did not happen as expected, were able to generate several understandings about my students, myself as a professional, the institution and our educational context. With this dissertation, I intend to motivate other teacherresearchers, who might not have obtained a satisfactory outcome following the path of Exploratory Practice, to keep on this track despite the occasional obstacles they may find.

The challenge facing principals currently is to revisit their role to improve external examination results in the Republic of South Africa. Almost all schools in the Free State, in particular those in rural areas such as the Thabo Mofutsanyana Education District; the Xhariep Education District; part of the Motheo Education District (e.g. Botshabelo and Thaba-Nchu) and most urban areas, such as the Lejweleputswa Education District and the Fezile Dabi Education District, have schools which have had poor examination results for the past 20 years. To answer the challenges currently facing principals in the Free State, this research used a qualitative research framework and methodology to articulate research questions and arrive at constructive and instructive models to reveal and close the gaps between performing and underperforming secondary schools in the province. A particular group of principals was chosen, influenced by the performance and underperformance of their schools in the various education districts in the province. Research findings from unstructured interviews with doctoral candidates, and research on China, Finland and Singapore’s education systems with special reference to instructional leadership were conducted. The doctoral candidates’ ideas were confirmed by practical unstructured interviews with Sekgutlong and Beacon high school principals who visited Singapore with the MEC of the Free State Department of Education. In plenary and parallel encounters with principals of secondary schools in the Free State, it emerged that rote learning is prevalent in the Free State secondary schools. Therefore, was resolved by the majority of the principals that critical postmodern instructional leadership should be recommended as an instructional methodology to usher in critical thinking, innovation, creativity and self-reliance in Free State education. In addition, this will close the gap between performing and underperforming secondary schools. Finally, grounded postmodern instructional leadership as a leadership strategy will assist a contemporary secondary school learner’s generation to cope with the academic requirements of tertiary education. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D.

SUMMARY: The thesis describes a situation of the part of inhabitants of the Czech Republic that are currently regarded as socio-culturally disadvantaged. It aims to term factors that endanger a healthy and harmonic development of children living in a socio-culturally disadvantaged environment. The means of child protection are specified on international and national level and the current legislation in this field is reviewed. The thesis also deals with the position of ethnic minorities in the Czech Republic and concentrates on Romany minority. On the example of one city district of Prague is presented the lifestyle of Romany community, their cohabitation with the majority and their usage of Romany ethnolect. Possible causes of formation of socially excluded communities are listed together with social and health risks for Romany people that concentrate in such local communities. The situation in the field of education of pre-school children coming from a socio-culturally disadvantaged environment is described and legislative and executive measures to support their access to education are reviewed. Social determinants of health are termed and their impact on Roma community in the Czech Republic is assessed. The research part of the thesis deals with the education of the children attending compensatory...

Detta examensarbete behandlar undervisning i läsförståelsestrategier och genrekunskap. Studien utgår från forskning som visar att undervisning i dessa områden är av stor vikt för elevernas utveckling av läsförståelse. Läsförståelse i sig är grunden för framtida kunskapsinhämtning och vidare studier. Studien har som syfte att undersöka hur lärare i förskoleklass t.o.m. årskurs 3 arbetar explicit med läsförståelsestrategier och genrekunskap. Undersökningen bygger på en webbaserad enkätstudie till samtliga lärare för gällande årskurser i ämnena svenska, matematik, SO och NO/Teknik. Studien begränsar sig till att undersöka en kommun i södra Sverige. Resultaten är samstämmiga på så sätt att övervägande antal tillfrågade lärare anser sig undervisa explicit i läsförståelsestrategier. Något färre anser sig undervisa explicit i genrekunskap. Svaren visar även att undervisning förekommer i mindre omfång i denna kommun än vad som är önskvärt enligt forskningen i både läsförståelsestrategier och genrekunskap. / This master thesis focuses on teaching in reading comprehension strategies and genre knowledge. The study is based on research that shows that education in these areas is important for students' development of reading comprehension. Reading comprehension in itself is the basis for future knowledge acquisition and further studies. The purpose of this study is to investigate how teachers, active in the range from pre-school classes to third grade classes, works explicitly with reading comprehension strategies and genre knowledge.  The research is based on a web-questionnaire survey of all teachers for current grades in the subjects Swedish, Mathematics, Social studies and Science/Technology. It is limited to investigating a municipality in southern Sweden.  The results are coherent in such a way that the majority of teachers asked consider themselves to educate explicitly in reading comprehension strategies. Slightly fewer participants consider themselves to educate explicitly in genre knowledge. Also, based on the answers given by the participants, it turns out that both reading comprehension strategies and genre skills are less taught in this municipality compare to what is recommended according to science.

It was accomplished based on a research about the new set, relative to the scholar organization, created by the changes introduced with the implantation of Cycle Regime with Ongoing Progression at elementary education in public schools from São Paulo. The initial hypothesis was that the this implantation would modify, meaningfully, the school time organization, what would generate a direct impact with the cultural capital and habitus of the teachers. The research took place in 2003 in two public schools from São Paulo state net subordinated to the same Teaching Board. It was made through interviews to two teachers in each school who worked at the second cycle of elementary school, 5th to 8th grades, at a total of four, and to the pedagogic coordinators that were working at this duty since the implantation of the reform. It was also performed the collection and analysis of school documents which expressed the school time organization. This job used the Pierre Bourdieu theoretical corpus as reference, mainly the cultural capital, arbitrary cultural dominant, strategies and habitus, to verify the resulting impact of the reform quoted at the consolidated docent practices. It was testified that the initial hypothesis, concerning the school time, was not proved. Nevertheless, the direct impact on the teacher s cultural capital and habitus regarding to meritocracy, which prizes and settles an ideal student pattern, the pedagogic authority reduction on behalf of ongoing progression that makes impossible the power of the decision about the retention or approval of the pupils, and the valorization and defense of the transmission of scholar contents without which school becomes devoid of its leading duty, was evidenced. Finally the adoption of strategies such as the defense of the Grade Board strengthening and the reduction of the cycles duration from four two years aiming at overcoming these impacts and its effects that are considered damaging, by the docents, to public schools and the pupils future. / Este estudo tem a finalidade de contribuir para a compreensão de como operam e se expressam as mudanças envolvidas em reformas educacionais. Realizou-se a partir de uma pesquisa sobre o novo cenário, relativo à organização escolar, criado pelas alterações introduzidas com a implantação do Regime de Ciclos com Progressão Continuada no Ensino Fundamental das escolas públicas paulistas. Partiu-se da hipótese inicial de que a implantação da referida reforma alteraria significativamente a organização do tempo escolar o que geraria um impacto direto no capital cultural e habitus dos professores. A pesquisa foi realizada em 2003 em duas escolas públicas, da rede estadual paulista subordinadas à mesma Diretoria de Ensino, por meio de entrevistas com dois professores de cada escola, de segundo ciclo do Ensino Fundamental, 5ª à 8ª séries, num total de quatro, com os professores coordenadores pedagógicos de cada unidade escolar, que estivessem no exercício dessa função desde a implantação da referida reforma. Foi também, realizada a coleta e análise dos documentos escolares que expressam a organização do tempo escolar. Este trabalho tem como referência o corpo teórico de Pierre Bourdieu privilegiadamente os conceitos de capital cultural, arbitrário cultural dominante, estratégias e habitus para se verificar o impacto resultante da implantação da reforma em tela nas práticas docentes consolidadas. Constatou-se que a hipótese inicial, no que se refere à organização do tempo escolar, não se comprovou. No entanto, emergiu, ao longo da pesquisa, o impacto direto sobre o capital cultural e habitus dos professores referentes a meritocracia, que valoriza e estabelece um padrão de aluno ideal, a redução da autoridade pedagógica em função da progressão continuada que impossibilita o exercício do poder de decisão sobre a retenção ou aprovação do alunado e, a valorização e defesa da transmissão dos conteúdos escolares sem o que a escola fica esvaziada de sua função precípua. Finalmente a adoção de estratégias, como, por exemplo, a defesa do fortalecimento do Conselho de Série e da redução do período de duração dos ciclos de quatro para dois anos visando a superação desses impactos e seus efeitos que são considerados danosos, pelos docentes, à escola pública e ao futuro dos alunos.

The objective is to analyze the distinguished device of the organization of Teaching Practice in the Institute of Education of Rio de Janeiro in the scope of the formation of a new pedagogic culture: the slogan "reform of the primary teaching through the reform of teachers training"; the Institute of Education of Rio de Janeiro; the Primary School of the Institute of Education, analyzed as a device of the teaching reform for its double configuration as a primary municipal school and as a locus of experimentation, demonstration and practice of the School of Teachers; the Programs of primary education of the Federal District published in 1934 and 1937; and, finally, the device which organize the practice of the future teachers during the periods of Teaching Practice. The documental body was defined in the core of the tensions established between the main actors in the conduction of the narrative: Anísio Teixeira, due to the fact that the Institute of Education of Rio de Janeiro was idealized and created in the scope of the reform carried out by him in the Federal District; and Lourenço Filho, the main actor in this process of implementation of the reform of the training of primary teachers. The core documentation of this work is formed, mainly, by four collections of textual sources: the documents of the Archives Lourenço Filho and Anísio Teixeira of the Center of Research and Documentation of Contemporary History of Brazil of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (CPDOC/FGV); the documents of the Archive of the Superior Institute of Education of Rio de Janeiro; and the journal Archives of the Institute of Education / Este trabalho tem como objeto de estudo a Prática de Ensino na formação de professores primários, compreendendo ser esse o eixo ao redor do qual se organiza o principal dispositivo de renovação da formação de professores do Distrito Federal no período de 1932 a 1937: o Instituto de Educação do Rio de Janeiro. Como objetivo estabelece a análise de dispositivos privilegiados de organização da Prática de Ensino do Instituto de Educação do Rio de Janeiro no âmbito da constituição de uma nova cultura pedagógica: o slogan "reforma do ensino primário pela reforma da formação de professores"; o Instituto de Educação do Rio de Janeiro; a Escola Primária do Instituto de Educação, analisada como um dispositivo da reforma do ensino por sua dupla configuração como escola primária municipal e como escola de experimentação, demonstração e prática da Escola de Professores; os Programas de ensino primário do Distrito Federal publicados em 1934 e 1937; e, por fim, os dispositivos de organização das práticas das professorandas durante os períodos de Prática de Ensino. O corpus documental delineou-se no bojo das tensões estabelecidas entre os atores centrais para a condução da narrativa: Anísio Teixeira, pelo fato de o Instituto de Educação do Rio de Janeiro ter sido idealizado e criado no âmbito da reforma por ele empreendida no Distrito Federal; e Lourenço Filho, por ser o principal ator nesse processo de implementação de reforma da formação do professorado primário. A documentação central deste trabalho constitui-se, principalmente, a partir de quatro conjuntos de fontes textuais: os documentos dos Arquivos Lourenço Filho e Anísio Teixeira do CPDOC/FGV; os documentos do Arquivo do Instituto Superior de Educação do Rio de Janeiro; e a revista Arquivos do Instituto de Educação

And this affinity, the need of the meeting between the human being and the nature can be demonstrated in vary artistic records, as pictures, tapestries, wares, sculptures, and other artistic manifestations (and even in people´s own names, of streets, neighbors or cities) and in the core of many religions and philosophies. The second moment of the thesis tried to answer the following question formulated by the tutores to focus better the study objects: Which phase of the scholar education would be pertinent in this study that seeks pioneer examples that owned educative green yards in the city of São Paulo? Actually, if we wish to know about the pioneers built in the city of São Paulo, the right is the famous phrase: begin by the beginning . In other words, the ideal is to focus the research in the scholar yards of the Infant Education, for being the first scholar yard of the life of a child after his or her contact with their´s family yards. And in this way we start to lapidate yard-gardens of paulistanos´ Kindergartens! Research that detailed, raised data and facts known and unpublished about gardens (Landscaping Art) & children (History of Culture, in the case the Infantile) & Kindergarten (Education). Interdisciplinary extension contemplated in the Stricto Sensu`s course profile in Education, Art and History of Culture in which this thesis is inserted. Invisible yards, these and our pioneer paulistanos. Still little is known about them, historically, architecturally. Except lot of works about its Pedagogy based in the Froebel System theory that amalgamated the examples identified and selected. Therefore, we call them invisible Yards, because we need to transform them visible again. Because they were capable to connect garden and infant education and natural environment. And also can be rescued to renew the actual scholar yards, starting by the firsts: of Infant Education. These discoveries are made with emphasis in a last moment, with the deeper study about the garden of the Kindergarten attached to the Escola Normal Caetano de Campos: Histories of a caetanista Kindergarten student, Architecture and Landscaping. Followed by a serie of reflexions of the own graduate student in the reading of projects in this areas. Possible analyses if understood in two big concepts: of Micro-History of Cultural History (Peter Burke) and of Method of the Theory Based on Data , de Glaser and Strauss. / Num primeiro momento, a pesquisa pretendeu resgatar os laços perdidos, ou melhor, desfeitos entre o ser humano, o ser humano em sua primeira infância e o meio natural enquanto ambiente favorável ao bem estar psíquico, à saúde e às práticas educativas visando aprendizagens na fase da Educação Infantil, de modo integrado. E esta afinidade, a necessidade do encontro entre o ser humano e a natureza pode ser demonstrada em vários registros artísticos, como quadros, tapeçarias, louças, esculturas, entre outras manifestações artísticas (e até mesmo no próprio nome das pessoas, de ruas, bairros ou cidades) e no cerne de muitas religiões e filosofias. O segundo momento da tese tentou responder a seguinte pergunta formulada pela orientadora para focar mais os objetos de estudo: Qual fase da educação escolar seria pertinente neste estudo que busca exemplares pioneiros que possuíssem "pátios educativos verdes" na cidade de São Paulo? Na verdade, se desejamos saber sobre os pioneiros construídos na cidade de São Paulo, o certo é a famosa frase: "começar pelo começo". Ou seja, ideal é focar a pesquisa nos pátios escolares da Educação Infantil, por serem o primeiro pátio escolar da vida de uma criança após seu contato com o quintal de sua família. E assim começamos a "lapidar" pátios-jardins dos Jardins de Infância dos paulistanos! Pesquisa que detalhou, levantou dados e fatos - conhecidos e inéditos - sobre jardins (Arte Paisagística) & crianças (História da Cultura, no caso a Infantil) & Jardins da Infância (Educação). Gama interdisciplinar contemplada no perfil do curso de Stricto Sensu em "Educação, Arte e História da Cultura" no qual esta tese esta inserida. Pátios invisíveis, estes e os nossos pioneiros paulistanos. Ainda pouco se sabe sobre eles, historicamente, arquitetonicamente. Exceto muitos trabalhos sobre sua Pedagogia baseada no Sistema de Froebel - teoria que amalgamou os exemplares identificados e selecionados. Assim, os chamamos de "Pátios Invisíveis", porque precisamos torná-los visíveis novamente. Porque eles foram capazes de conectar jardim e educação infantil e meio natural. E também podem ser "resgatados" para renovar os pátios escolares presentes, a começar pelos primeiros: da Educação Infantil. Estas descobertas se dão com ênfase num último momento, com o aprofundado estudo sobre o jardim do Jardim da Infância anexo à Escola Normal Caetano de Campos: Histórias de uma aluna do Jardim da Infância caetanista, Arquitetura e Paisagismo. Acompanhado de uma série de reflexões da própria mestranda na leitura dos projetos destas áreas. Análises possíveis se entendidas dentro de dois grandes conceitos: o da Micro-História da História Cultural (Peter Burke) e o do "Método da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados", de Glaser e Strauss.

L'objectiu central del nostre treball ha estat, d'una banda, descriure i analitzar allò que s'esdevé quan s'incorporen les Tecnologies de la Informació i la Comunicació (TIC) en un model formatiu d'ensenyament superior presencial; de l'altra, observar el procés d'interacció didàctica durant la incorporació progressiva de les TIC a l'ensenyament superior, explicar el procés de desenvolupament i construcció d'una plataforma telemàtica i, consegüentment, ser motors de canvi i millora des de la praxi del procés d'interacció didàctica amb el suport de les TIC a l'ensenyament superior presencial.Atesa la naturalesa del que es volia investigar, doncs, hem volgut aproximar-nos metodològicament a un enfocament científic emergent o multiparadigmàtic. Per tant, aquesta recerca se centra en l'avaluació, en la descripció i en l'anàlisi de la mostra observada, alhora que ens apropa en un nou escenari didàctic dins l'ensenyament superior basat en la bimodalitat presencial. Una bimodalitat presencial entesa a partir de les sinergies entre una varietat multimetodològica d'activitats i dinàmiques presencials a l'aula i una extensió de la mateixa presència, a partir del complement i del suport de les TIC. / El objetivo central de nuestro trabajo ha sido, en primer lugar, describir y analizar lo que sucede cuando se incorporan las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en un modelo formativo presencial de enseñanza superior; en segundo lugar, observar el proceso de interacción didáctica durante la progresiva incorporación de las TIC en la enseñanza superior; en tercer lugar, explicar el proceso de construcción de una plataforma telemática y, consecuentemente, ser motores de cambio y mejora desde la misma práctica educativa del proceso didáctico mediante el soporte de las TIC en la enseñanza superior presencial.Dada la naturaleza de lo que se quería investigar, nos hemos aproximado metodológicamente a un enfoque emergente o multiparadigmático.Esta investigación se centra en la evaluación, descripción y análisis de la muestra observada y se aproxima a un nuevo escenario didáctico en la enseñanza superior basado en la Bimodalidad presencial.Bimodalidad presencial que se entiende a partir de las interacciones entre una diversidad multimetodológica de actividades y dinámicas presenciales en clase y de una extensión de la misma presencia, a partir del complemento y soporte de las TIC. / The central objective of my thesis has been, in the first place, to describe and to analyse what happens when ICT is incorporated into a formative presence model of higher education; secondly, to observe the didactic interaction process during the progressive incorporation of the ICT into higher education; thirdly, to explain the process of construction of a web learning platform, consequently, to be the motor of change and improvement from the practice of the didactic process with the support of the ICT into higher education.Given the nature of this kind of research, we have come closer, methodologically, to emergent or multiparadigmatic approach. This research is based in the evaluation, description and analysis of the observed sample and it deepens into a new didactic scene in higher education based on the "Bimodalidad presencial". By this term, we mean a set of interactions between a multimethodologic diversity of dynamic activities in the class-room plus an extension of distance learning, through the use of the ICT.
