To attain this goal, it is important to favor continuous reflection about teaching practice, which may initiate a process of pedagogical knowledge (re)construction. Considering these aspects, this research aimed at investigating a pre-service teacher education program in a public university in Sao Paulo state, to discuss how this pedagogical knowledge (re)construction process occurred in a Teaching Practice course. The main goal in this study was to verify how the theoretical/practical knowledge was articulated in the pedagogical knowledge (re)construction process, observing if and how this knowledge constructed in the pre-service teacher education course was present in student-teachers’ teaching practice. In addition to this goal, this research also aimed at understanding how they evaluated their pedagogical actions, the meanings of these actions, and how they justified their decisions and solved problems in their teaching practice. For this reason, data collected included their Teaching Practice course content, student-teachers’ questionnaires, interview with the teacher educator, class observations and reflective sessions. Results indicated that through self-assessment and reflection, future teachers were able to understand their pedagogical actions and to present some propositions to improve English language learning and teaching in different educational contexts, favoring not only their students’ language learning process but also contributing to their own continuous professional development

Pretende-se oferecer um panorama da proficiência oral desses futuros professores, com foco no vocabulário, por meio de instrumentos de avaliação da proficiência oral utilizados tanto em situação de sala de aula como em situação de avaliação, para, com base nos resultados da análise do componente lexical, contribuir para o processo de validação dos descritores de vocabulário de um teste de proficiência destinado a professores de ILE, ainda em sua fase de elaboração. Considerando-se que a avaliação de línguas, no domínio da proficiência oral, tem sido amplamente discutida na literatura internacional de Linguística Aplicada, esta pesquisa envolve questões acerca da proficiência necessária para professores de ILE, ingressantes no mercado de trabalho no contexto de ensino e aprendizagem de LE no Brasil. É sabido que o vocabulário se constitui em um dos componentes mais importantes da proficiência em língua estrangeira (STÆR, 2008), no entanto, no que concerne à competência lexical, a maioria dos estudos tem enfocado o conhecimento de vocabulário em vez de seu uso produtivo (HILTON, 2008). Além disso, pouco se sabe sobre a verdadeira relação entre a produção oral de vocabulário e os níveis de proficiência adotados na avaliação de proficiência oral. Diante desta questão, esta pesquisa, realizada em uma universidade estadual paulista, almeja investigar a competência lexical com base na linguagem produzida oralmente tanto em sala de aula como em situações de avaliação. Uma vez que os testes orais dos consagrados exames FCE e IELTS consideram as várias... / The purpose of this study is to discuss the process of assessing vocabulary oral production in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) of students graduating from English Language and Literature BA courses (henceforth Letters courses). It aimed to analyze students‟ oral proficiency based on vocabulary use, in class and in oral test situations, in order to contribute for the validation of the vocabulary descriptors, based on the results from vocabulary analysis of an oral proficiency test which is still being designed and implemented as a test for teachers. Assuming that the assessment of specific language areas within the domain of oral language proficiency has been discussed in a number of studies from the international literature in the field of Applied Linguistics, this research study addresses the issues regarding the proficiency required for pre-service teachers who are preparing to enter the field of ELT in Brazil. In view of vocabulary, assumed as one of the most important components of foreign language proficiency (STÆR, 2008), most studies have focused on vocabulary knowledge rather than on the productive use of vocabulary when it comes to lexical proficiency (HILTON, 2008) and little is known about the actual relationship between vocabulary oral production and speaking proficiency levels. Based on this rationale, this study was carried out in a pre-service teacher education course at a public university in Sao Paulo state and aims at investigating the process of oral production and assessment of the lexical component in class and in oral test situations. Once the oral tests of the high stakes exams FCE and IELTS reflect a view of speaking ability which involves multiple competencies, lexical proficiency was assessed by means of two mock speaking FCE tests, two IELTS mock tests of the speaking...

A pergunta que norteia o desenrolar deste estudo é: O que licenciandos de Matemática comunicam quando vivenciam o desenvolvimento de atividades de Modelagem articuladas com o material didático do estado de São Paulo? Para tanto, a produção dos dados é realizada durante a disciplina “Metodologias de Ensino de Matemática e Estágio Supervisionado I”, a qual está vinculada à matriz curricular do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática, da Universidade Estadual Paulista, campus de São José do Rio Preto. Com isso, os sujeitos são os próprios licenciandos da referida disciplina. A abordagem metodológica que fundamenta a investigação é a de cunho qualitativo e são utilizados como instrumentos metodológicos os diálogos, a vídeogravação, a entrevista semiestrutura e os documentos (compostos pelas atividades desenvolvidas pelos licenciandos). Como resultados, tem-se algumas possibilidades de condução de atividades de Modelagem a partir do material didático, tanto na escolha do tema, no início da atividade, quanto no decorrer dela; algumas alternativas de elaboração de atividades de Modelagem articuladas com Situações de Aprendizagem, presentes em tal material didático; e alguns aspectos favoráveis e justificativas para a utilização de atividades de Modelagem na Educação Básica, bem como alguns obstáculos e algumas resistências e inseguranças para a mesma, a partir das vivências dos licenciandos durante as aulas. / This study investigates what pre-service Mathematics teachers can express, through dialogue, on the working with modeling activities articulated with Sao Paulo State textbooks, in a supervised training course context. The question that guides this study is: What Mathematics is communicate by pre-service Mathematics teachers when they experience the development of modeling activities articulated with the Sao Paulo State textbooks? Therefore, the data production was performed during the course "Mathematics Teaching methodologies and Supervised Training", which is linked to the curriculum of the Mathematics Undergraduation, of Sao Paulo State University, Sao Jose do Rio Preto. Thereby, the research subjects are the graduates in this discipline. The methodological approach used in this research is qualitative following the dialogues, video recording, semi structured interviews and documents (made up of the activities undertaken by the undergraduates). The results show some possibilities of modeling activities through the official textbooks, whether choosing the subject in the beginning of the activity, as during it; some alternatives of elaboration of modeling activities articulated with learning situations, following this educational material; and some favorable aspects and justifications for the use of modeling activities in the Basic Education, as well as some obstacles, resistance and insecurities to this use, according to graduates experiences during class. / CNPq: 130609/2015-3

This study was designed to bring to the fore the reasons for introducing peace education in pre-service teacher education in Zimbabwean teachers colleges in order to establish the foundations for positive peace in Zimbabwe. The focus of the study was on the preparation of Zimbabwean pre-service teachers in peace education as an effective approach for building durable peace in Zimbabwe. The main research question that guided this study was: Why and how should peace education be introduced at pre-service teacher education colleges in Zimbabwe? The overall aim of the research is to develop an appropriate peace education programme for Zimbabwean teachers’ colleges which will be employed as a strategy for constructing positive peace in Zimbabwe. A phenomenological methodology blending Edmund Husserl’s descriptive phenomenology and Martin Heidegger’s interpretive phenomenology was used to elicit participants’ views on the challenges and possibilities of introducing peace education at pre-service teacher education colleges in Zimbabwe. Data for the study were gathered using semi-structured interviews, focus group interviews and documentary analysis. Key themes emerging from the data analysis were that (a) there is an absence of positive peace in contemporary Zimbabwe (b) Zimbabwean teachers’ colleges are not offering courses in peace education (c) peace education would benefit Zimbabwe as a country, (d) peace education is implementable at pre-service teacher education colleges in Zimbabwe, (e) there is need to develop an appropriate peace education curriculum that reflects the needs of Zimbabwean citizens and (f) college principals, lecturers, student teachers, policymakers and programme-makers have important roles to play in peace education initiatives. Through this study, the researcher established that peace education is a plausible and sustainable mechanism for building positive peace which has remained obscure in Zimbabwe despite thirty-four years of hard won independence. This shows the necessity for introducing peace education in Zimbabwean teachers colleges as a strategy for positive peace building. It is therefore, recommended that teachers’ colleges in Zimbabwe should introduce peace education in their pre-service programmes in order to build prospective teachers’ capacities to establish an infrastructure for positive peace in their future classrooms, the immediate communities and Zimbabwean society as a whole. / Philosophy of Education / D.

The assumption of the present study is that teachers should possess an adequate understanding of the nature of science and scientific method and hence this aspect was investigated. The empirical research carried out with Secondary School teacher trainees at Botswana colleges of education showed the following: Subjects possess an adequate understanding of some aspects of the nature of science and several aspects of the scientific method. They however do not have an adequate understanding on certain aspects of the nature of science. An association was found between the nature of science, type of educational institution attended, years of study and majoring in science. A positive association was found between scientific method and years spent studying. The present study recommended the inclusion of history, philosophy and sociology of science in the curriculum of teacher education. / Educational Studies / M. Ed.

It is justified by the need to also understand what involves my own participation in many continuing education courses with the purpose of gathering subsidies that provide me directing, coordinating, supervising, and developing courses of this kind. This research is theoretically grounded on studies about pre-service teacher education (Imbernon, 2000, Vianna, 2004; Martins, 2004, Santos and Mendes Sobrinho, 2006; Gómez, 1995; Mizukami, 2002; Brito, 2006, Contreras, 2002; Brazil, 2002) ; continuing teacher education (Marin, 1995; Mizukami, 2002; Destro, 1995; Contreras, 2002; Smyth, 1991); English teachers education (Celani, 2002; Paiva, 2005; Dutra, 2003, Brazil, 2001, Castro, 1999 ; Celani and Collins, 2003) and concepts of reflection (Schön, 1995, 2000). The methodological approach adopted in this study was the hermeneutic-phenomenological one (van Manen, 1990, Freire, 2007). The description and interpretation of the phenomenon in focus was undertaken through textual registers obtained through questionnaires answered by 57 student-teachers enrolled in a three-semester continuing education course offered to public school English teachers. The research results reveal that participation of public school English teachers in that continuing education courses is unique, since it results in a constant search for improvement and also in change related to practice. The results also allow me to say that the research phenomenon was experienced in three different ways because each semester was played by a different group of student-teachers who was in a different period of the course and into a different reflective moment as well / Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo descrever e interpretar o fenômeno da participação de professores de inglês da rede pública de ensino em um curso de formação contínua e justifica-se pela necessidade de também entender o que envolve a minha participação em vários cursos de formação contínua com a finalidade de obter subsídios que me proporcionem dirigir, coordenar, supervisionar, bem como elaborar cursos dessa natureza. Fundamentam teoricamente esta pesquisa, estudos sobre: formação inicial (Imbernón, 2000; Vianna, 2004; Martins, 2004; Santos e Mendes Sobrinho, 2006; Gómez, 1995; Mizukami, 2002; Brito, 2006; Contreras, 2002; Brasil, 2002); formação contínua (Marin, 1995; Mizukami, 2002; Destro, 1995; Contreras, 2002); formação de professores de inglês (Celani, 2002; Paiva, 2005; Dutra, 2003; Brasil, 2001; Castro, 1999; Celani e Collins, 2003) e conceitos sobre reflexão (Schön, 1995, 2000) A abordagem metodológica adotada nessa pesquisa foi a hermenêutico-fenomenológica (van Manen, 1990; Freire, 2007). A descrição e interpretação do fenômeno em foco foi feita a partir de registros textuais, obtidos por meio de questionários respondidos por 57 professores-alunos, participantes dos três semestres de um curso de formação contínua oferecido a professores de inglês da rede pública de ensino. Os resultados da pesquisa revelam que a participação de professores de inglês da rede pública de ensino em cursos de formação contínua é único, pois decorre de uma constante busca por aprimoramento e mudança em relação à prática. Os resultados também me permitem afirmar que o fenômeno investigado foi vivenciado de três formas diferentes, pois cada semestre foi vivido por um grupo de professores-alunos que se encontravam em um momento diferente do curso e também em um momento reflexivo diferente
