Since the object of study of this dissertation is the Instituto de Humanidades, the primary source which made possible the analysis of the studied school’s work and also the analysis of the school culture that backboned its pedagogical practices, was the “Revista Escolar”, periodical that was part of the Insituto de Humanidades itself ant that was devised and edited by the Principal Joaquim da Costa Nogueira. The primary sources of this study were found in the “Instituto Histórico e Geográfico do Ceará”, in the rare book sector of the “Biblioteca Pública Governador Menexes Pimentel” and in the “Academia Cearense de Letras”. We must point that the iconographical material were traced in the “Museu da Imagem e do Som do Ceará”. Since the writing process of this work encompasses that of a cronical history, we have adopted Barbara Tuchman as reference, mainly from her work – “The historical practice”. Concerning the study of the history of the school institutions and those on School culture we have based our work in the texts of Justino Pereira de Magalhães, Rosa Fátima de Souza, Vera Teresa Valdemarin and Franco Cambi. In the lines of this dissertation we may realize that the “Instituto de Hmanidades”, being a private institution, educated students from the highest economical, political and intelectual class level, offering them an education based on the method of intuitive teaching and on patriotic values that were present in the republican imagination at that time. / Esta dissertação apresenta a construção da história crônica do Instituto de Humanidades, educandário particular, sediado em Fortaleza – Ceará, durante sua fase de funcionamento: de 1904 à 1914, ou seja, no contexto da belle époque. Sendo o Instituto de Humanidades objeto de estudo dessa dissertação, a fonte primária que possibilitou a visualização de seu funcionamento e cultura escolar que norteava suas práticas pedagógicas foi a Revista Escolar, órgão do educandário que foi idealizada e editada pelo professor Joaquim da Costa Nogueira. As fontes primárias para este estudo foram localizadas no Instituto Histórico, Geográfico e Antropológico do Ceará, setor de obras raras da Biblioteca Pública Governador Menezes Pimentel e Academia Cearense de Letras. Frisamos ainda, que as iconografias que constam na dissertação foram rastreadas no Museu da Imagem e do Som no Ceará. Sendo a escrita dessa dissertação uma história crônica, tomamos por referência Bárbara Tuchman, com sua obra intitulada, A Prática da História. Nas leituras a respeito da História das Instituições Escolares e Cultura Escolar tomamos por base as considerações de Justino Pereira de Magalhães, Rosa Fátima de Souza, Vera Teresa Valdemarin e Franco Cambi. Nas linhas tecidas nesta dissertação percebemos que o Instituto de Humanidades, sendo um educandário particular atendia alunos oriundos da elite econômica, política e intelectual cearense, ofertando-lhes uma formação pautada pelo método de ensino intuitivo e valores cívicos-patriótico presentes no imaginário republicano vigente.

The study examined Accounting teachers’ pedagogical communicative practices and the academic achievement Accounting students, focusing on the extent of its occurrence. Teachers’ pedagogical communicative practices are the language behaviours and discourse strategies employed by teachers in their instructional delivery. The study employed an embedded concurrent mixed methods design. A questionnaire, Accounting achievement test for students, interview and observation guides were used to collect data from 481 respondents (made up of two heads of schools, 54 teachers, and 425 students) selected from 34 senior high schools in the Ahafo, Bono and Bono East Regions of Ghana. The quantitative data were analysed into descriptive and inferential statistics by using the SPSS software while the qualitative data were analysed thematically in accordance with the research questions. The findings from the study revealed that the Accounting teachers use appropriate pedagogical communicative practices (which include speaking loudly and boldly enough and making close eye contacts with students during class contributions) to help students to assimilate concepts better in Accounting, and to promote a stimulating learning environment. The study also revealed that teachers considered their students’ maturity level, needs, motivation and readiness to learn in deciding which methodology to use for a lesson. The study further revealed that there is no significant influence of pedagogical communicative practices on student academic achievement. Pedagogical communicative practices need to form part of the training of teachers for the senior high schools in order to prepare the teachers adequately for their assignments. Finally, the conceptual framework proposed is characterised by a synthesis of pedagogy and instructional communication, and the influence that such a combination has on the academic achievement of Senior High School Accounting students. To date, there is paucity of information in the extant literature regarding this practice in Africa, specifically, Ghana and hence the need for the current research to fill the gap. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D.

Reading and writing curricula in more than 50% of America's schools have not been successful in assisting students to meet mandated academic performances for a number of reasons, including lack of student motivation and self-esteem. Research studies indicated that music can influence student motivation and academic performance in subjects such as language arts and that a music-infused curriculum could generate the positive difference between academic failure and academic success. For this qualitative case study with a constructivist paradigm, the purpose was to observe, document, and analyze music-infused lessons used by 4 teachers from prekindergarten to 5th grade with the goal to enhance students' language arts skills. The study examined teachers' perspectives and the instructional tools they used to stimulate and motivate students to strive toward academic success. It included interviews, a focus group, and observations with the participants. Data were coded, transcribed, analyzed, and evaluated for the final documented results, which revealed the benefits teachers experienced and the positive changes they noticed in their students from using music infusion in language arts. Findings revealed that students were more motivated, exhibited better attitudes, and had sustained attention and better retention of lessons taught with a music-infused structure. A recommendation is that administrators allow teachers more opportunities and flexibility to collaborate and assist with developing music-infused lessons to align with their language arts curriculum. Overall, the implications for social change were significant for educators, administrators, and students by providing an alternative method to teaching language arts that can increase motivational levels and academic success of struggling students.

Boksamtal och kooperativt lärande är två lärandemetoder som enligt forskning har en positiv inverkan på elevers engagemang och motivation. Dock visar resultat från tidigare forskning att lärare har svårt att implementera dessa metoder i sin undervisning. Därför är syftet med studien att studera hur svensklärare uppfattar sin undervisningspraktik när de kombinerar boksamtal med kooperativt lärande, samt eventuella hinder och möjligheter som lärarna upplever med denna kombination. Till grund för resultatet ligger svar från intervjuer och loggböcker, där tre svensklärare som är verksamma i årskurs 4–6, fått reflektera kring boksamtal och kooperativt lärande. I studien har vi tagit fram färdiga lektionsupplägg som lärarna fått genomföra i klassrummet. Resultat från studien visar att boksamtal med hjälp av kooperativa strukturer inte endast ger lärare möjlighet att skapa mer variation på boksamtalen, utan också bidrar till ett större engagemang och ökat samarbete hos eleverna. Men för att en implementering ska lyckas behöver lärarna få stöttning genom utbildning och ha en egen vilja att använda dessa. Sammanfattningsvis visardet slutgiltiga resultatet av studien att lärarna upplever fler möjligheter än hinder med att kombinera dessa lärandemetoder. Samtliga lärare uppgav att kombinationen med boksamtal och kooperativt lärande är något de vill fortsätta med i sitt arbete med skönlitteratur.
