The focus of this study is the phenomenon of beginning teacher competence. In Queensland, the context for the research presented here, the competence of beginning teachers is appraised by their supervisor (usually the principal) at the end of their first year of full-time employment. This appraisal is conducted on behalf of the Queensland Board of Teacher Registration and a positive outcome enables beginning teachers to achieve full teacher registration. Although there exists research suggesting that principals bring to the appraisal process their conceptions of competence, there is a dearth of knowledge about beginning teachers' conceptions of their own teaching competence. The research presented here adds to the debate about competence by including the voice of the beginning teacher. This focus, located within the context of local issues, is used to explore important themes that are relevant to other systems of beginning teacher appraisal. The selection of phenomenography as the research approach adopted for this study is based on its appropriateness to the investigation of a phenomenon such as competence. Phenomenography aims to describe, analyse and understand the ways in which people experience aspects of the world around them. The point of departure that sets apart this approach from many others, is the principle that phenomenography seeks to investigate neither the phenomenon, nor the people who experience the phenomenon, but the relation between the two. The results of a phenomenographic study are presented as a description of all of the possible conceptions that a specific group can have about a particular phenomenon. For the research presented here, eighteen beginning teachers were interviewed individually in order to identify and describe the variation in their conceptions of competence. Research participants representing State, Catholic and Independent school systems were drawn from preschools, special, primary and secondary schools of one provincial city, in one regional area of South East Queensland. Two major outcomes emerged from the research presented here. Firstly, beginning teachers were identified as experiencing competence in a number of ways. Although these conceptions were varied, their number was quite limited. Six distinct conceptions of beginning teacher competence were identified, with a further finding that individual beginning teachers were not limited to one conception, but conceived of competence in multiple ways. Because the relational nature of competence demands that it be investigated within the context in which it is experienced, this study also identified five different approaches to competence appraisal, as understood by the beginning teachers who had undergone the appraisal process. Comparisons of both conceptions of competence and approaches to appraisal were then compared to existing research in this area. This thesis presents an alternative view of competence and appraisal that may be used to further develop the process of appraisal and indeed, the professional development of beginning teachers.

Nosso principal objetivo é identificar que fatores explicam esta percepção a partir de um estudo de caso com servidores técnico-administrativos na Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. Testamos a hipótese de que fatores contextuais são mais importantes do que variáveis pessoais. Metodologicamente, adotou-se uma perspectiva multimétodo, combinando estudo de caso, observação não participante, análise documental, estatística descritiva e multivariada. Os dados foram coletados através de um survey realizado com 550 participantes e as respostas foram submetidas à análise fatorial confirmatória que identificou quatro dimensões (Efetividade da Avaliação do Estágio Probatório, Suporte da Instituição, Ação Gerencial e Valorização do Estágio Probatório enquanto Avaliação). Em seguida, utilizou-se a regressão linear múltipla para mensurar o efeito das dimensões sobre a percepção da Efetividade da Avaliação do Estágio Probatório. Os resultados corroboram a hipótese de pesquisa já que fatores contextuais exercem maior impacto sobre a percepção da efetividade do que variáveis pessoais. Comparativamente, o Suporte da Instituição foi a dimensão que produziu maior efeito. Com este trabalho espera-se incentivar uma reflexão sistemática sobre o sistema de avaliação do estágio probatório e fornecer subsídios para elaboração de políticas especialmente voltadas para melhorar a qualidade da burocracia no Brasil. / What factors explain the perception of the effectiveness of the probationary period rating? Our main goal is to identify what factors explain this perception through a case study with technical administrative employees of the Federal University of Pernambuco. We test the hypothesis that contextual factors are more important than personal variables. Methodologically, we adopted a multi-method approach, combining case study, non participative observation, document analysis and descriptive and multivariate statistics. Data was gathered from a survey carried out with 550 participants and the answers were submitted to confirmatory factor analysis which identified four dimensions (Effectiveness of the Probationary Period Rating System, Institutional Support, Management Action and Recognition of the Probatory Period as Evaluation). Then, we applied linear multiple regression to estimate the effect of these three different dimensions on the perception of the Effectiveness of the Probationary Period Rating System. The results support the research hypothesis since contextual factors exert greater impact than personal variables. Moreover, Institutional Support was the dimension that yielded highest effect. By doing this study, we expect to contribute to encourage systematic reflection on the probationary rating system and to provide input for the elaboration of public policies particularly committed to improve bureaucratic quality in Brazil.

Esta investigação trata de um estudo de caso, de abordagem qualitativa, realizada com os servidores técnico-administrativos em educação da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), localizada no sul do Brasil, no período de 2006 a 2013. Apresenta como tema “Espaço de Memória da Aprendizagem do Acompanhamento do Estágio Probatório - um estudo com servidores técnico-administrativos em educação da UFRGS”, o qual se insere na linha de pesquisa Memória e Gestão Cultural, do Mestrado Profissional Memória Social e Bens Culturais. Mediante a renovação do quadro funcional da UFRGS e situações de conflitos geradas pelos diferentes tipos de conhecimentos, teve-se como objetivo analisar a Prática de Acompanhamento de Estágio Probatório da UFRGS, a fim de identificar como os servidores técnico-administrativos em Educação percebem suas aprendizagens no âmbito individual e coletivo. A metodologia empregada consistiu em uma coleta de dados por meio de pesquisa documental, entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas e diário de campo. A análise foi realizada com base nas experiências de aprendizagens dos servidores TAEs em situações formais e informais, no ciclo de aprendizagem de Argyris; Schön (1996), no processo de criação do conhecimento e no espaço de memória organizacional, esta análise permitiu identificar que estes servidores TAEs, no período de 2006 a 2013 utilizaram seus diferentes conhecimentos oportunizando novas aprendizagens. Porém, verificou-se que esta realidade pode ser diferente em outras práticas organizacionais na mesma instituição, uma vez que, esta conta com uma grande extensão de área e com uma diversidade de equipes e setores. / This research is a case-study of qualitative approach, it took place with a group of technical-administrative civil servants of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, between 2006 and 2013, having as it’s theme “The Accompaniment of the Probationary Period as Learning and Memory Space”, which is inserted in the research line Memory and Cultural Management, of the Social Memory and Cultural Assets master’s degree. Upon the institution’s staff renewal and verification of cases of conflict arousal from different types of knowledge, the research aimed to analyze the Accompaniment of the Probationary Period Practice in order to identify how staff of a Federal Institution of higher education, located in the southern region of Brazil perceive their learning collective and individually. The methodology use consisted in data collection from a document-based research, semi-structured individual interviews and field journal. The analysis was based on the experiences of learning from technical-administrative civil servants through: formal and informal situations, the Argyris & Schön (1996) learning cycle, the knowledge creation process and the organizational memory space. This analysis have enabled identifying that between 2006 and 2013 these servants used their different types of knowledge, providing opportunities new learning for the accompaniment practice of the probationary period. However, it was found that this situation might be different in other organizational practices of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul considering that the research took place in an institution that has a great area extension and big diversity of teams and departments.

Through out the country many institutions look for to fit themselves in such documents. On the other hand, other IES (Superior Education Institutions), when they are setting up such courses they looked for to be adequate to the new public politics. Based on the National Curricular Norms to form teachers for Basic Education, in tertiary level, in 2004 it was created at the CEFET-PB,the Chemistry Course (Licenciatura) to prepare people to be teachers, whose organization. This work presents the results of a research of phenomenological nature that aimed to comprehend the teachers opinions, in the range of discussions about the current politics of formation, particularly related to the CNE/CP 1 and CNE/CP 2/2002 resolutions. This work based on the curricular proposal for the Chemistry Course (Licenciatura), presents the relationship between the probationary period and the teaching practice at the CEFET-PB, in order to contribute for a reflection about these categories to clarify the teachers of the course. It started from the consideration of all changes operated in contemporary society implies changes on teacher's pedagogical practices. It was used tow instruments for the data collection: a questionnaire with open and closed questions and recordable interviews. Nine teachers form the CEFET-PB took apart and four licensed teachers. It was based in a theoretic frame as a support for discussions about the different models of teachers formation. We concluded that the representations of teachers about probationary period the practice on the activity for the teachers formation was strongly anchored in characteristic elements of the formative tendency of a institution that historically acted on a technician formation, and the results pointed to strong signs of attitudes based on a model of the technical rationality / Os documentos legais brasileiros est?o orientando a reformula??o dos cursos de forma??o de professores.
