教師的專業發展是提昇教師品質的關鍵,它包含職前的師資教育以及在職的教師進修。在臺灣,為了倡導英文教師的終身學習,在職英語教學碩士專班在民國八十八年成立。 本研究旨在探討在職英語教學碩士班對高中英文老師的影響。研究方法包含問卷,訪談及教室觀察。問卷調查部分,所使用的問卷是研究者根據文獻及三所在職英語教學碩士專班課程內容所編製的,目的在於瞭解進修教師對於在職英語教學碩士專班對他們的專業態度,專業知能及教室實務影響的自我認知。問卷調查採全國普查,有九十八所學校回函,有效問卷為一百零九份。教室觀察的部分則對兩組教師的教學進行觀察、錄影、分析及比較。這兩組教師來自同一所高中,第一組的兩位教師有在職英語教學碩士班進修的經驗,另一組的兩位教師則無。 本研究的重要發現為： 1. 在專業態度方面,在職英語教學碩士班增強了進修教師嚐試新教學法的動機, 　提高了他們的專業自信及教學熱忱,並增強了他們參與進修活動的動機。 2. 在專業知能方面,進修教師在本身的讀寫能力及語法、構詞及言談分析等語言 　知識獲益最多。 3. 在教室實務方面,專業知能的充實非常有助於進修教師應用新的教學技巧於字 　彙、語法、閱讀和寫作的教學，並有助於他們採用更多樣的教學資源及材料。 4. 運用進修所得知識於教學中讓具有在職英語教學碩士班進修經驗的教師在教 學上和不具此經驗的教師有所不同。 此研究結果對進修在職英語教學碩士班與改進英文教學方式之間的關係具有豐富啟示,是值得投注更多關注與研究的領域。 關鍵字: 在職進修　　研究所　　高中英文老師　　專業態度　　專業知能 　　　　教室實務 / Teachers’ professional development is the key to teacher quality. It encompasses pre-service teacher education and in-service teacher training. In Taiwan, in an effort to promote English teachers’ continual learning, in-service English teaching graduate programs were started in 1999 in place of what was called "Forty-Credit Program". This study aims to investigate the influence of the in-service English teaching graduate programs on senior high school English teachers. Three methods, questionnaire survey, interview, and classroom observation, were used. In the part of questionnaire survey, a questionnaire was designed to elicit participants’ self-perceptions of the influence the in-service English teaching graduate programs have on their professional attitudes, professional knowledge and classroom practice. Then, a general survey was conducted island-wide. Ninety-eight schools responded with 109 valid questionnaires. Follow-up phone interviews were conducted with seven willing respondents to further explore how they apply their new knowledge to their teaching. Regarding the classroom observation, two groups of English teachers from the same school participated in this part of study. In the first group were two teachers with the in-service English teaching graduate program experience while in the second group were two teachers without the experience. The teaching of one lesson conducted by the four teachers were observed, video-taped, analyzed, and compared. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with each teacher after the observational data were collected. The purpose of the interview was to know the reasons why they adopted current ways of teaching. This study has the following important findings. Firstly, in terms of professional attitudes, the in-service programs affect participants most in their motivation to try out new teaching methods, professional confidence, enthusiasm for English teaching and motivation to partake in in-service training activities. Secondly, in the aspect of knowledge about the English language, participants benefit from the programs the most in their own reading and writing ability as well as in knowledge of syntax, morphology, and discourse analysis. Thirdly, with regard to classroom practice, the enrichment of professional knowledge helps a lot in participants' application of new techniques to their instruction of vocabulary, grammatical structure, reading and writing. It also contributes to participants’ use of varieties of learning resources and materials. Lastly, the application of the new knowledge leads to the differences between teachers who have the in-service English teaching graduate program experience and those who do not. These findings have rich implications for the relationship between in-service English teaching graduate programs and the improvement of English teaching practice of senior high school English teachers, an area well worth more attention and research. Key words: in-service graduate programs senior high school English teachers professional attitudes professional knowledge classroom practice

Le jeu casual est un phénomène majeur de l’industrie vidéoludique, pourtant il reste peu étudié et mal considéré. Les quelques définitions scientifiques recensées présentent des divergences importantes, ainsi qu’un décalage par rapport aux jeux produits. Les modèles théoriques en design de jeu, centrés sur le gameplay, semblent inadéquats face à ce phénomène. En utilisant le modèle du praticien réflexif de Donald Schön, l’objectif de notre recherche est d’apporter un nouvel éclairage sur le jeu casual grâce au savoir professionnel des designers de jeux. Notre approche est qualitative, d’inspiration phénoménologique : nous avons recueilli l’expérience de huit designers de jeux par l’intermédiaire d’entretiens semi-dirigés proches du récit de pratique. Nos résultats montrent que les concepts utilisés dans les modèles vidéoludiques traditionnels restent pertinents pour définir le jeu casual, mais demandent à être retravaillés afin de rendre compte des mutations de l’expérience de jeu. Ainsi, un challenge dans un jeu casual n’est pas un obstacle mais une opportunité d’action pour le joueur. De plus, la progression se fait par la variation des challenges plutôt que par l’augmentation de la difficulté. Ensuite, certains concepts qui semblaient pertinents pour définir les jeux casual, tels que la fiction positive, ont été rejetés par nos participants. Enfin, notre étude a permis de rassembler des informations sur le rôle du designer de jeu casual et le contexte dans lequel il exerce, ce qui permet d’expliquer certaines causes de la vision péjorative du jeu casual. / Casual games are one of the main phenomena in the video game industry, but remain under-explored and are not highly regarded. Scientific definitions are scarce, inconsistent, and often disconnected from actual games. Further, theoretical models for game design, centered on gameplay, often fall short in defining casual games. The objective of this study is to use Donald Schön's model of the reflective practitioner to shed a new light on casual games through the collection of professional knowledge of game designers. This study follows a qualitative approach with phenomenological inspiration. Eight one-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with casual game designers who were asked to provide a narrative of their professional practice. Results show that traditional game design concepts remain relevant for understanding and defining casual games, but need to be reworked in the light of new experiences and contexts in gaming. Namely, challenge is no longer synonymous with obstacle, but should be considered as an opportunity of a player’s action. Progression should be based on the variation of challenges instead of increasing difficulty. In addition, participants rejected some concepts that were previously considered appropriate for defining casual games, like positive fiction. Finally, this study provides insight into the role of casual game designers and the context of their work, which can help explain the often negative perception of casual games.

In addition to this main objective, three other secondary objectives were defined: to identify the professional teaching knowledge of the professors and how they developed this knowledge, if they develop their knowledge by their own and / or institutional initiatives and, finally, if they have the necessity for an ongoing updating. It was carried out a theoretical study based on many authors, for instance, Imbernón and Marcelo who were the main reference in relation to the professional development theme, while Tardif was the main one who provided the principles in relation to professional teaching knowledge. A survey research instrument was applied with 235 Business Administration professors, from 10 different community universities which are part of ACAFE System (Association of Santa Catarina educational foundations). It was noticed by the collected data that the initial assumption of this work, expressed in the research question that in-service teacher education contributes to the professional development, was correct, because despite all the limitations pointed out in the in-service teacher education offered currently by all institutions, professors still consider that it helps a lot . But it was possible to realize that there is a limited understanding of professional development, as a synonym for in-service teacher education and in this sense, it was confirmed that in-service teacher education could contribute effectively to professional development if it included (1) reflection on the experiential knowledge, (2) updating the knowledge of the specific field of Administration, (3) discussion of the role of the University and its institutional policies, (4) the curriculum of the course as a whole, (5) knowledge of reality and the students of the institution / Este trabalho visou estudar como a formação continuada contribui para o desenvolvimento profissional de professores de Administração. Além deste objetivo principal, três outros objetivos secundários foram definidos: identificar quais são os saberes profissionais docentes destes professores e como os constituíram, se eles desenvolvem seus saberes por meio de iniciativas próprias e/ou institucionais e, por fim, se sentem a necessidade de uma constante atualização. Realizou-se o estudo de muitos autores, todavia deve-se destacar que, em relação ao tema desenvolvimento profissional, Imbernón e Marcelo foram os principais referenciais, enquanto em relação aos saberes profissionais docentes, Tardif foi o autor mais consultado. Para alcançar os objetivos propostos realizou-se um estudo do tipo survey com 235 professores que atuam na graduação em Administração, de 10 diferentes instituições de ensino, todas comunitárias e pertencentes ao Sistema ACAFE (Associação Catarinense das Fundações Educacionais). Por meio dos dados coletados pode-se constatar que o pressuposto inicial deste trabalho, expresso na própria questão de pesquisa, de que a formação continuada contribui para o desenvolvimento profissional, estava correto, pois apesar de todas as limitações apontadas na formação continuada atualmente oferecida por todas as Instituições, ainda assim os docentes consideram que a mesma auxilia muito . Mas pôde-se perceber que há um entendimento restrito de desenvolvimento profissional, como sinônimo de formação continuada e neste sentido, confirmou-se que a formação continuada poderia contribuir efetivamente para o desenvolvimento profissional se contemplasse (1) a reflexão sobre os saberes experienciais; (2) a atualização dos saberes do campo específico da administração; (3) a discussão da função da Universidade e de suas políticas institucionais; (4) a proposta curricular do curso como um todo; (5) o conhecimento da realidade e dos discentes da Instituição

The understanding that much professional knowledge resulting from the student´s participation on the Supervised Stage, was crucial to perform this research. The overall aim of this study was to evaluate how the areas become places of training and learning of teaching, as well as verify how this areas/places influence in the in the formation of teaching prowess and obtaining of knowledge to teach mathematics. As theoretical-methodological referential in the fields of professional knowledge and teaching learning, were used contributions from Montero (2001), Shulman (1987), Roland (2005, 2006), Gauthier (1998) and Nóvoa (1995). For the discussion of training areas, the study bolstered in Escolano (2000), Viñao_Frago (2001) and Cunha (2010). The study was also relied on Pires (2000) and Moura (2001) for issues related to teaching mathematics in the early years of elementary school. This is a qualitative research based on a case study. As data collection, was used an initial questionnaire, exploratory interview, discussion and narratives group. In this way, we started with the assumption that the stage can influence the formation of the teaching; and the discussion meetings allow the student of the Pedagogy to think about the professional content to teach and to ensure learning. The analysis indicates that the students of the Supervised Stage, when insert themselves in the school and participate in class, has a possibility to establish the relationship between theoretical knowledge and knowledge of content and teaching. The reflection on this process revealed that the meanings and achievements make the school a place of learning and bring peculiarities to teaching prowess / O foco desta pesquisa inscreve-se nas discussões acerca da formação inicial de professores e, no centro desse campo, o olhar se volta para o Estágio Supervisionado no curso de Pedagogia e para o ensino de Matemática nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. A compreensão de que existe um emaranhado de conhecimentos profissionais que resultam da participação dos alunos da formação inicial nas atividades de estágio foi determinante para a realização desta pesquisa, que envolveu os alunos desse curso. O objetivo geral do estudo foi investigar como os espaços de formação se transformam em lugares de formação e de aprendizagem da docência e verificar o modo como esses espaços/lugares influenciam na constituição da profissionalidade docente e na apropriação de conhecimentos para ensinar Matemática. Como referencial teóricometodológico, no campo do conhecimento profissional e da aprendizagem da docência, foram utilizadas as contribuições de Montero (2001), Shulman (1987), Roldão (2005, 2006), Gauthier (1998) e Nóvoa (1995). Para a discussão sobre espaços de formação, o estudo se amparou em Escolano (2000), Viñao_Frago (2001) e Cunha (2010). O estudo também se apoiou em Pires (2000) e Moura (2001) para a as questões relacionadas ao ensino da matemática nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. Trata-se de uma abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa pautada num estudo de caso. Adotou-se como instrumentos de coleta de dados um questionário inicial, uma entrevista exploratória, o grupo de discussão e narrativas. Partiu-se do pressuposto de que o estágio pode influenciar na constituição da profissionalidade docente e os encontros para discussão possibilitam, ao aluno concluinte do curso de Pedagogia, reflexão sobre os conteúdos profissionais para ensinar e para possibilitar a aprendizagem. A análise indicou que o aluno da formação inicial, ao inserir-se no contexto escolar e participar das aulas, tem possibilidade de estabelecer a relação entre os conhecimentos teóricos e os conhecimentos dos conteúdos e da didática. A reflexão sobre esse processo revelou que os significados e as conquistas tornam o espaço escolar um lugar de aprendizagem e trazem particularidades para a profissionalidade docente

Notre travail porte sur le thème des connaissances professionnelles mobilisées par les enseignants pendant la préparation et lors de la mise en œuvre de leur enseignement. Notre étude se déroule dans le contexte de l’enseignement des sciences expérimentales. Nous y étudions les connaissances des enseignants et leurs évolutions. Notre approche théorique articule la didactique des sciences et la didactique professionnelle avec comme cadre d’analyse des connaissances des enseignants, le concept de PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge), les connaissances pédagogiques liées au contenu. Nous avons élaboré une méthodologie spécifique, associant le chercheur et des binômes de professeurs, afin notamment de saisir l’écart entre la préparation des enseignements et leur mise en œuvre. A partir de cet écart nous définissons des incidents critiques qui sont la base du corpus que nous analysons. Nous identifions les connaissances en jeu, et indiquons comment le concept de PCK s’articule avec celui de schème. Lorsque les enseignants traitent d’un sujet au moyen des démarches d’investigation, ils mobilisent des types de connaissances spécifiques, et mettent en place des pratiques différentes, selon qu'ils travaillent au premier ou second degré. Nous montrons qu’il y a une relation entre ces connaissances et la régulation rétroactive de l’activité qui permet à l’enseignant d’ajuster sa préparation. Nous modélisons une forme d’acquisition d’expérience. / Our work focuses on the theme of professional knowledge mobilized by teachers in their lesson preparations and implementation in class. Our study takes place in the context of the teaching of experimental sciences. We study the knowledge of teachers and the evolutions of this knowledge. Our theoretical approach articulates science education and professional didactics; it also retains, for the analysis of teachers' knowledge, the concept of PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge). We have developed a specific methodology, involving the researcher and teachers organized in pairs, to observe the gap between the preparation of lessons and their implementation. From this gap, we define critical incidents: they are the basis of the corpus that we analyzed. We identify the knowledge involved, and we indicate how the concept of PCK articulates with the concept of scheme. When teachers use inquiry-based science teaching (IBST), they mobilize specific knowledge and they implement different practices, depending on their work at primary or secondary school. We show that there is a relationship between knowledge and retroactive control that allows the teacher to adjust his/her preparation. We propose a theoretical model, for a form of acquisition of professional experience.

TITLE: QUALITY OF A PRIMARY TEACHER FROM THE PARENTS AND PUBLIC PERSPECTIVE Author Alena Kolaříková DAPARTEMENT Centre of school management SUPERVISOR PhDr. Jan Voda, Ph.D. ANNOTATION The role of a teacher in society and quality of education are quite often subject of a discussion these days. These discussions are linked with evaluation of quality of teachers, their way of teaching, and also with their approach to pupils and parents. The importance of teaching can be seen in two levels: firstly, the focus is on giving the knowledge, and secondly the focus is on personal development of the pupil, his/her competencies, and personal skills and respect. In this work I will describe various styles of teaching, personal prerequisites and further competencies, as necessary qualities a teacher should have. I will present five basic teaching styles with focus on their positives and risks. In analytical part, I will look up competitions rewarding good teachers and will describe criteria based on which selected teachers are rewarded. By the form of questionnaire, the practical part will try to identify what type of teacher of 1st level Primary school is preferred by the parents / legal representatives, and what type of personal and professional qualities they appreciate the most.
