Ce mémoire porte sur les perceptions de l’université et des diplômes (universitaires) chez les lycéens guinéens du privé et du public en classe de terminale. L’atteinte de cet objectif exigeait une exploration de l’expérience scolaire et extrascolaire des élèves. La démarche privilégiée est qualitative et a consisté en des entrevues semi-dirigées auprès de 23 jeunes de deux lycées de la capitale, différents de par leur statut (privé/public) et l’origine sociale de leurs élèves. Les résultats de la recherche montrent que l’expérience scolaire et extrascolaire varie considérablement selon le type de lycée fréquenté. Si le parcours scolaire au privé s’est déroulé sans grands heurts, il est nettement plus chaotique parmi les élèves du public. Les premiers bénéficient d’un cadre d’apprentissage -tant au niveau infrastructurel que professoral- et d’un soutien familial clairement plus propices aux études que les seconds. Hors de l’école, si le temps est consacré aux loisirs pour les lycéens privés, il est marqué par une forte implication dans les activités économiques de survie pour les lycéens et lycéennes du public qui doivent tous se « battre » pour rester aux études. Les données révèlent en outre que la poursuite des études au-delà de la classe de terminale est perçue par les deux groupes de lycéens comme une suite logique de leur parcours scolaire. L’université attire et exerce une forme de « fascination » notamment pour le «bout de papier » qu’elle octroie. Le diplôme universitaire demeure perçu comme une marque distinctive et un symbole de prestige et, surtout dans des milieux populaires, comme un gage d’employabilité. Enfin, pour les jeunes filles du lycée privé, la poursuite des études est présentée comme un moyen d’acquérir une certaine indépendance même si, comme leurs homologues du public, la poursuite des études doit « coexister » avec le projet matrimonial. / This paper aims to analyze the perception of university education and university degree among senior high school students from public and private schools in Guinea. Using a qualitative analysis, the research explores the participants’ academic and nonacademic experience. Semi-directed interviews were conducted among 23 pupils from two high schools in the capital Conakry. The targeted schools differ by their statutes (private/public) and the social origin of their students. As illustrated by the analysis, the academic and nonacademic experiences vary notably depending on the type of high school attended. School trajectories of students from public institutions are more chaotic than those of students in public institutions. The first benefit from a better learning environment—equipment and teachers—and a more favorable familial context than the latter. Outside school, while students in private schools devote their spare time to leisure activities, their public counterparts spend most of their time involved in petty money-earning activities, ‘‘fighting’’ to pay their school fees. In addition, the data show that both private and public schools’ students perceive the pursuit of their studies beyond senior high school as a logical continuation of their academic journey. The university attracts and ‘‘fascinates’’ students, notably for the «piece of paper» it grants. The university degree remains a distinctive mark, a symbol of prestige and, especially among public schools’ pupils, a guarantee of employability. Finally, for girls in private schools, higher education is perceived as a way for future independence, even if they do not disconnect their schooling future from their marital plans.

This project researches the history of a demolished building and its material that was later salvaged to formulate suggestions for reuse and interpretation within a new structure. The specific case examined was Indianapolis's Oscar C. McCulloch School No. Five demolished in 1986. The architectural glazed terra cotta was rescued from the wreckage and is the focus of this study.This creative project traces the historical and architectural significance of School No. Five, including a discussion on the general history of terra cotta, its use and manufacturing and construction techniques, and how it specifically applies to School No. Five.Next the salvaged terra cotta from School No. Five were assessed in an eight step process. The results of the assessment show the type and extent of deterioration observed on each piece, including a discussion on the various causes of deterioration, general repair, conservation techniques, and finally specific recommendations for the salvaged terra cotta. The project concludes with several design options and interpretations of the reconstructed facade of School No. Five. / Department of Architecture

This thesis has presented a comprehensive study on the abandonment of historic school buildings by the Indianapolis Public Schools system from 1970 to 1997. During this period, IPS closed or demolished sixty-four city schools representing nearly fifty-three percent of all Indianapolis public schools in 1970. The principal reason behind the facility closings was a dramatic decline in student enrollment beginning in 1967, but rapidly accelerating after 1970.Several factors contributed to this fall in public school rolls: lower birth rates, the unified government system (Unigov) that merged Indianapolis and Marion County administrative functions, and highway construction and urban renewal projects that cleared large areas of residential neighborhoods. The most significant factor, however, was court mandated integration of Indianapolis public schools in 1970, which led many white families to flee the IPS district and eventually resulted in one way, cross-district busing in 1981.The approaches adopted by Indianapolis Public School officials and the school board between 1970 and 1997, in response to the loss of student population, demonstrates an evolution of policy concerning historic school buildings in the city's inventory. During the early rounds of large scale closings, 1972-1975 and 1980-1981, IPS authorities specifically targeted older schools for closing. This policy changed during the last period of closings, 1995-1997, as some consideration was placed in closing decisions on school buildings' historic and architectural significance.Indianapolis Public School procedures governing the sale of surplus schools also went through a transformation between 1970 and 1997. Until recently, IPS was little concerned about the intended use of former schools by potential buyers. As a result, many historic school buildings were lost due to neglect or outright demolition. In 1997, however, Indianapolis school officials began to take responsibility for ensuring that historic schools leaving IPS's stewardship be preserved. / Department of Architecture

According to SEE/SP, the purpose of the program is to evaluate each school through annual aims, which are pre-established by SEE/SP and based on two criterias: the school flow and the student s performance in the Evaluation System of São Paulo State (SARES). The aim ends up in an index of Education Development of São Paulo State (IDESP), for each level of education. In this paper, we discuss the School Quality Program from 2008 to 2012, having as parameters the objectives proclaimed by SEE/SP, taking the empirical research data analysed under the theoretical framework composed by Claus Offe and Antonio Gramsci, in relation to the educational improvement quality. The empirical cutting to data collection included eight of the nine poles that made up the Teaching Coordination of São Paulo Contryside and the case study happened in three pre-selected schools, under Pirassununga Teaching Board responsability. We notice the emphasis on the product overlapping the educational process, both for the SEE/SP, through IDESP, and in the surveyed schools organization. Intra and extra factors make up the educational quality for the subject researched and the teacher s evaluation is considered an important quality factor for parents. We see as positive aspects of "School Quality Program", the SEE/SP trying to improve educational quality at public schools and the network-wide deployment of a single curriculum with essential skills and competences for student learning. The Bonus for Results (BR) established with the objective of motivating school teams to achieve the aims of IDESP, is a contradiction. It doesn t motivate teachers, but, provide places and pedagogical time to prepare students for the SATS. The schools surveyed had difficulties to maintain a track record of IDESP improving. Educational quality has a potential converter of social and economical reality, but for that, we have to provide enough public funding for education, enhance the teaching profession and teachers, improve the initial and recurrent training, enable other spaces and times of learning. / No ano de 2008, a Secretaria de Estado da Educação de São Paulo (SEE/SP) iniciou o processo de implantação do Programa de Qualidade da Escola e do projeto Proposta Curricular em todas as escolas estaduais paulistas. De acordo com a SEE/SP, a finalidade do Programa é avaliar cada escola por meio de metas anuais, pré-estabelecidas pela própria SEE/SP, com base em dois critérios: o fluxo escolar e o desempenho dos alunos no Sistema de Avaliação do Rendimento Escolar do Estado de São Paulo (SARESP). A meta concretizase em um Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação do Estado de São Paulo (IDESP), para cada nível de ensino. Neste trabalho, discutimos o Programa de Qualidade da Escola , no período de 2008 a 2012, tendo como parâmetros os objetivos proclamados pela SEE/SP, tomando os dados da pesquisa empírica analisados sob o referencial teórico composto por Claus Offe e Antonio Gramsci, em relação à melhoria da qualidade educacional. O recorte empírico para a coleta de dados abrangeu oito dos nove polos que compunham a Coordenadoria de Ensino do Interior da SEE/SP e o estudo de caso deu-se em três escolas pré-selecionadas, jurisdicionadas à Diretoria de Ensino Região de Pirassununga. Verificamos a ênfase no produto sobrepondo-se ao processo educativo, tanto para a SEE/SP, por meio do IDESP, como na organização das escolas pesquisadas. Fatores intra e extraescolares compõem a qualidade educacional para os sujeitos pesquisados e a avaliação docente é considerada um fator de qualidade para os pais. Percebemos como aspectos positivos do PQE a tentativa da SEE/SP de melhorar a qualidade educacional nas escolas públicas e a implantação, em toda a rede, de um currículo único com habilidades e competências essenciais para a aprendizagem do aluno. A Bonificação por Resultados (BR), instituída com o objetivo de motivar as equipes escolares a alcançar as metas do IDESP, é uma contradição. Essa bonificação não motiva os professores; todavia, eles cedem lugares e tempos pedagógicos para preparar os alunos para as provas. As escolas pesquisadas apresentaram dificuldades para manter uma trajetória de melhoria do IDESP. A qualidade educacional tem um potencial transformador da realidade social e econômica, mas, para isso, temos que viabilizar formas de financiamento público suficientes, valorizar a escola pública e o seu magistério, melhorar a formação inicial e continuada dos professores, viabilizar outros espaços e tempos de aprendizagem.

I denna studie undersöks och jämförs tre vetenskapliga texter från 2000-talet som handlar om hur och när individuella flowupplevelser och gruppflow uppstår i musikundervisning på grundskolan. Fokus för studien är vilka metoder som har utvecklats för att främja flow i undervisning generellt och mer specifikt i musikundervisning. För att besvara studiens syfte och frågeställningar används metoden allmän litteraturstudie med systematisk ansats samt en informell intervju med två framstående forskare inom gruppflow och team flow samt flow i undervisning. De utvalda texterna har analyserats och granskats kvalitets- och kunskapskritiskt och studiens vetenskapliga ansats är Vygotskijs sociokulturella perspektiv på lärande. Föreliggande studies huvudsakliga resultat är att flow, gruppflow och team flow främjar barns engagemang och lust till lärande i musikundervisning på grundskolan. Det har publicerats väldigt lite forskning om flow i musikundervisning på grundskolan. Fortsatt empirisk forskning om hur flowmodellen ska tillämpas praktiskt i musikundervisning på grundskolan behövs därför för att fånga upp forskningsglappet. / This study examines and compares three scientific texts from the 21st century that deal with how and when individual flow experiences and group flow occur in music education at elementary schools. The focus in his study is which methods have been developed to stimulate flow in teaching in general and more specifically in music education. The method applied in this study is a general literature study with a systematic approach. Two informal interviews with prominent researchers on team flow and flow in education were carried out in order to meet the purpose of this study and answer its scientific questions. The three articles that were included for analysis have been critically reviewed in terms of scientific quality and knowledge. Vygotskijs socio-cultural perspective on learning was used as this studies approach. The main findings of this study are that flow, group flow and team flow as educational models are applicable and extremely useful in music education at primary schools and promote engagement and desire to learn for children. Proposals for application of the flow model in music education have been made, though future empirical research is needed to fill up the gap within flow research in music education at elementary schools. Flow in school, group flow and flow in music are well-researched areas. On the other hand, very little research has been published about flow in music education at elementary schools. Suggestions for future research are therefore discussed further on in this study.

This work was undertaken with a view to developing a textbook for United States secondary schools on the subject of death and dying through a religious lens. The purpose of this work is to provide high school teens with the means of coping with loss and a foundation for crafting their own meaning of life and death. Taking a close look at death attitudes among young people in the United States, as well as high school faculty and staff for the purpose of determining whether or not death education can be provided for public high school students, the work starts from the premise that said death education, using a religious model, should be provided for teenagers because the religious model provides the necessary elements of idea, ritual, and community, so necessary for building a world-view. Research was conducted in the form of survey and historical review to determine the efficacy of the proposed course of study. Upon analysis of the available information on death education history and course offering, as well as analysis of the survey results, the conclusion was reached that the provision of death education in the nation‟s public high schools would go a long way to reducing death anxiety amongst United States teenagers, and also give the adolescents a model for creating their own sense of meaning for all of life that includes death. / Religious Studies and Arabic / D.

South Africa is currently undergoing a process of change from a segregated education system to a more democratic system of education. The country is characterised by drastic policy shifts in the social, economic and political arenas. The problem that called for this research is that education managers at national, provincial, district, and circuit levels are facing challenges in the understanding, interpretation and implementation of education policies as they apply to support staff, educators, learners and their parents or guardians. Lack of access to and knowledge of acts, policies and procedures in educational leadership and management seem to impact negatively on the effective functioning of public schools in the provisioning of quality education in Limpopo province of South Africa. A qualitative research methodology coupled with ontology and epistemology theories were used in a phenomenological interpretive perspective. The rationale for choosing the qualitative approach was that the subject of this research study required data on the experiences, perceptions and views of the research participants. Three research instruments of data collection were employed, namely participant observation, document analysis and interviews. Purposive sampling was chosen to select the education managers as participants who were likely to be knowledgeable about and experienced in the phenomenon under study. Focus group and individual interviews were conducted with educators, education managers, and educator union representatives. I used content analysis method to catergorise data into themes. The findings in this study revealed that knowledge of the education policies is a pre-requisite for the implementation of such policies for quality education. It was evident that education managers have inadequate understanding of the formulation, interpretation and implementation of policies. Education managers had contrasting perceptions of education quality and divergent interpretationsof education policies. The deployment of circuit managers undermined the value of management qualifications, experience and expertise in such management posts. The absence of a policy enforcement agency and a lack of coordination within different levels of education management in the province have led to unresolved cases of misconduct and non-compliance with education policies. The researcher recommends that induction of newly appointed education managers, continuous training of the serving education managers, mentoring and monitoring of the implementation of education policies should receive priority for the provision of quality education in public schools. / Educational Leadership and Management / D.

Despite the scientific and technological advances that we see nowadays, the knowledge produced by the university continues restricted to more privileged circles of our society. Realizing this issue took us to put this investigation into practice. Ultimately, it has the goal to analyze the policies of socialization of scientific production, concerning its applicability to public schools, of the UFC Graduate Program in Education, from 1997 to 2011. This thesis asked if the researches developed by the Program were being socialized among active teachers of basic education. The paper is characterized as a case study, its locus being the university itself and the Program previously mentioned. The data obtained here derived from internal documents, the other data, the one concerned with the policies of socialization, were collected through the use of semi-structured interviews. Nine subjects participated, including four, current and former, Program coordinators and other five coordinators of research lines. The analysis was based on the principles of qualitative approach. Initially, a bibliographical research was conducted, making use of three different sources, as follows: dissertations and thesis defended throughout the Program, books and articles directly related to the theme and web search. This study allowed us to conclude that the UFC Graduate Program in Education carried out researches that bring contributions to the public school. As to the policies of socialization of scientific production, it is perceived that it meets its target audience within the walls of academia. However its reach towards public school teachers needs to be reconsidered. Solid actions are required in order that the knowledge derived from academic research can reach the public school. / O fulcro desta investigação é a socialização dos achados da pesquisa realizada pela pósgraduação no campo da educação. Malgrado os avanços científicos e tecnológicos alcançados nos tempos hodiernos, os saberes produzidos pela universidade continuam restritos, via de regra, à segmentos privilegiados da população. A percepção desse problema levou a que realizasse esta investigação, que teve por objetivo analisar a política de socialização da produção científica, para com a escola pública, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da UFC, no período de 1997 a 2011. Esta tese interrogou se as pesquisas desenvolvidas por esse Programa são socializadas junto aos professores da Educação Básica que atuam na escola pública. A investigação caracterizou-se como estudo de caso, que teve como locus a UFC – Programa anteriormente mencionado. Para obtenção de dados acerca deste, foram consultados documentos internos, e, para se obter informações acerca da política de socialização da produção científica, utilizou-se a entrevista como instrumento de coleta de dados. As que se aplicou foram do tipo semiestruturada. Nove sujeitos participaram desta pesquisa, dentre eles quatro coordenadores e ex-coordenadores do Programa e cinco coordenadoras de linha de pesquisa. A análise de dados pautou-se pelos princípios da abordagem qualitativa. Para fundamentar essa análise, realizou-se inicialmente uma procura bibliográfica utilizando-se de três diferentes fontes, a saber: teses e dissertações defendidas no Programa (1997-2011), livros e artigos de autores que abordam a temática em apreço e a consulta a WEB. O estudo realizado permitiu concluir que o Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da UFC, no período que compreende os anos de 1997 a 2011, realizou pesquisas que trazem contribuições à escola pública. Quanto à política de socialização da produção científica efetivada, identificamos o fato de que esta alcança o público-alvo da academia, entretanto, a política de socialização da produção científica do Programa, para com os professores da escola pública, precisa ser institucionalmente repensada: necessita implementar ações concretas que façam chegar aos professores da escola pública os conhecimentos oriundos da pesquisa educacional que desenvolve.

Para tal, realizamos pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e de campo, recorrendo à literatura em administração/gestão escolar, às diretrizes governamentais em âmbito nacional e estaduais e entrevistas com diretores atuantes de ambos os estados. Visando a articular os três discursos - literário, político e prático -, optamos pelo apoio da Análise Discursiva Textualmente Orientada (ADTO) para analisar as entrevistas. Do ponto de vista da literatura da área, a teoria em administração/gestão escolar, principalmente a partir da década de 1980, passou a refutar os pressupostos empresariais que a norteavam, sendo assim, de um líder de comando, que possuía principalmente o caráter técnico da função, o diretor passou a ser perspectivado como um líder político para exercer a função articulada à sua comunidade escolar. Esta questão é reforçada nas diretrizes governamentais em âmbito nacional, pois constatamos que não há uma abordagem acerca da função específica do diretor, porque nos documentos há a defesa dos princípios e fundamentos da gestão democrática. Inerente a estas questões, a forma de ingresso do diretor nas escolas passou a ser discutida, em âmbito nacional, como uma das possíveis vivências escolares democráticas. Devido à descentralização da educação, a opção pela forma de ingresso do diretor ficou sob responsabilidade dos governos estaduais e municipais, sendo que os primeiros, no ano de 2015, realizaram principalmente seleções mistas de escolha e eleição direta via comunidade escolar, havendo algumas práticas isoladas de concurso público e indicação política. Visando a analisar estas questões a partir das redes estaduais de São Paulo e do Paraná, em que ambas possuem identidade histórica acerca de sua opção para o ingresso dos diretores, constatamos, a partir da análise de documentos, que as diretrizes governamentais destes estados atribuem diferentes direcionamentos acerca de sua administração/gestão escolar que se articulam às funções dos diretores na escola. As diretrizes da rede estadual paulista indicam um perfil de diretor que exerça a liderança, configurando uma prática em que suas funções se mostraram direcionadas por aspectos substancialmente burocráticos; as diretrizes da rede estadual paranaense indicam, por sua vez, uma direção mais flexível e articulada às diferentes instâncias na escola. Desta forma, articulando o discurso das diretrizes estaduais com os dos diretores, notamos que, enquanto a rede paulista mostrou-se mais alinhada a concepções técnicas da função do diretor, a direção da rede paranaense mostrou-se mais alinhada a concepções políticas. Além destas questões, há elementos que aproximam os discursos e as práticas dos diretores eleitos e concursados, o que nos indica, que para além das diferenças advindas de suas formas de ingresso, as especificidades da escola acarretam virtudes e problemáticas próprias. / The objective of this research was to analyze the functions of the elected directors of public Paraná state network and functions of gazetted officers of the public network of São Paulo, articulating them with their proper forms of entry into the school system. To this end, we conducted literature, documentary and field, drawing on literature in administration / school management, government policies at the national and state level and interviews with active directors of both states. Aiming to articulate the three speeches - literary, political and practical - we opted for the support of Discourse Analysis Verbatim Oriented (ADTO) to analyze the interviews. From the point of view of literature in the field, the theory in administration / school management, especially from the 1980s, went on to refute the business assumptions that guided, therefore, a command leader, who mainly had the technical character the function, the director came to be viewed as a political leader to exercise the hinged function of your school community. This point is reinforced in the government guidelines nationwide, as we find that there is no specific approach on the director role, because the documents for the defense of the principles and foundations of democratic management. Inherent in these issues, how to ticket director in schools began to be discussed at the national level, as one possible democratic school experiences. Because of the decentralization of education, the choice of form of entry director was the responsibility of state and local governments, and the first, in 2015, mainly held mixed selections of choice and direct election via school community, with some isolated practices tendering and political statement. Aiming to examine the issues from the state networks of São Paulo and Paraná, where both have historical identity about his choice for the entry of the directors, we find, from the analysis of documents, that government policies of these states assign different directions about administration / school management that are linked to the functions of the directors in school.The guidelines state public indicate a director profile holding the lead, setting up a practice in which their functions are shown directed by substantially bureaucratic aspects; the guidelines of the Paraná state network show, in turn, a more flexible and articulated steering to different instances at school. Thus, articulating the discourse of state guidelines with the directors, we note that, while the São Paulo network was more aligned to technical conceptions of the role of the director, the direction of Paraná network was more aligned with political views. Apart from these issues, there are elements that bring the discourses and practices of elected and gazetted officers, which tells us that beyond the differences arising from forms of entry, the school specificities lead virtues and problems.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This thesis is part of the Research Line Public Policy and School Practice of the Graduate Program in Education of the Federal University of Santa Maria. It is a multiple case study that aimed to identify, interpret and understand the organization of continuous training of public school teachers policies of high school in the cities of Cascavel \ PR and Santa Maria \ RS. In seeking the context of these practices analyzes focused on the Educational Development Program Paraná \ PDE / PR and continuing training policies for teachers resulting from the Proposed Restructuring Curriculum of Secondary Education of the State Secretariat of Rio Grande do Sul Education (SEDUC / RS). The analysis left of the relationship between changes in the workplace that show in different professional sectors, continuing education as a requirement to meet the needs of society governed by the intellectualization of the productive, social and cultural space. In education, continuing education of teachers has been put as essential for professional advancement, this because the decentralized education policy, due to the new organization of the now relaxed and collective work, put on the teacher responsible for the training subjects capable of understanding and enter critically in society. For the development of research used the case study (Yin, 2010; GIL, 2009) and as techniques for data collection semi-structured interviews (CHIZZOTTI, 2012; FLICK, 2009) with teachers and students of state schools as well as analysis technical and official documents of states and schools, laws, plans, courses and continuing education programs sponsored by the Secretaries of State for Education and schools. The main thesis that the proposals for continuing education practice teachers in the public education state networks are consolidating School policies in accordance with the proposals of each State has been confirmed, although in practical terms showed detachment of teachers and students of specific training in the perspective of integrated and polytechnic education. The study made it clear that the inclusion of continuing education programs for teachers contributes to the expansion of production experience and theoretical and methodological knowledge in the subjects that act; He highlighted the contradictions of scientific development that separates science from the workplace and the importance of enhancing teachers' knowledge about the principles underlying the proposed curriculum that takes work, culture, science and technology. / Esta tese integra a Linha de Pesquisa Políticas Públicas e Práticas Escolares do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Trata-se de um estudo de caso múltiplo que objetivou conhecer, interpretar e compreender a organização das políticas de formação continuada de professores da escola pública estadual do Ensino Médio nos municípios de CascavelPR e Santa MariaRS. Ao buscar a contextualização destas práticas as análises incidiram sobre o Programa de Desenvolvimento Educacional do ParanáPDE/PR e as políticas de formação continuada de professores decorrentes da Proposta de Reestruturação Curricular do Ensino Médio da Secretaria Estadual de Educação do Rio Grande do Sul (SEDUC/RS). A análise partiu das relações existentes entre as mudanças no mundo do trabalho que evidenciam em diferentes setores profissionais, a formação continuada como requisito para atender aos anseios da sociedade regida pela intelectualização do espaço produtivo, social e cultural. No campo educacional, a formação continuada de professores tem sido colocada como imprescindível para o avanço profissional, isto porque as políticas educacionais descentralizadas, fruto da nova organização do trabalho agora flexibilizado e coletivo, colocam no professor a responsabilidade de formar sujeitos capazes de compreender e se inserir criticamente na sociedade. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa utilizou-se o estudo de caso (YIN, 2010; GIL, 2009) e como técnicas para a coleta de dados entrevistas semiestruturadas (CHIZZOTTI, 2012; FLICK, 2009) com professores e alunos de escolas estaduais além de análise de documentos técnicos e oficiais dos estados e das escolas, legislações, planos, cursos e programas de formação continuada promovida pelas Secretarias de Estado da Educação e pelas escolas. A tese principal de que as propostas de formação continuada de professores em prática nas redes estaduais públicas de ensino estão consolidando as políticas de Ensino Médio em acordo com as propostas de cada Estado foi confirmada, ainda que no plano prático demonstrasse o distanciamento de professores e de estudantes das especificidades da formação na perspectiva da educação integrada e politécnica. O estudo tornou evidente que a inserção de programas de formação continuada para os professores contribui para a ampliação de experiências e produção de conhecimentos teórico-metodológicos nas disciplinas que atuam; ressaltou as contradições do desenvolvimento científico que separa a ciência do mundo do trabalho, bem como a relevância de potencializar o conhecimento dos professores acerca dos princípios que fundamentam a proposta curricular que assume o trabalho, a cultura, a ciência e a tecnologia.
