The Brazilian educational policy has been guided by the principle of scholar inclusion or inclusive education, comprising all diversity of students, particularly in public schools. Among these students are also those who have disability and special educational needs. With this research one tried to analyze how the inclusion process of students with disabilities has been happening in Physical Education classes according to teachers, as well as to identify main needs of teachers for the development of a satisfactory job regarding inclusion of students with physical, visual, hearing, intellectual or multiple disability. Therefore, a research was done in four out of the six Regional Boards of Fortaleza (CE), encompassing 88 Physical Education teachers who had a student with some of these deficiencies. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were used, in which a questionnaire with open and closed questions answered by all teachers, as well as semi-structured interviews with 10% of participants, were used as data collection instruments. The results indicated important factors related to the inclusion process of students with disabilities, such as: the highest number of teachers, 33% of teachers, had moderate knowledge about their student's disability; 40.9% found moderate the participation of parents or responsible in daily scholar life of students with disabilities; 42% receive much support from the school in carrying out their educational activities and are completely concerned with the peculiarities of their students with disabilities; 39.8% respect their limits and difficulties and evaluate as moderate the participation of students in their classes. One concludes that the type of disability and the degree of limitation are directly proportional to the level of participation in class and that the excitement and creativity of teachers, the school structure and parental support are significant for a successful scholar inclusion. One believes that the results obtained may subsidize important decisions from the Municipal Secretariat of Education of Fortaleza, as well as from teachers, parents, relatives and students. / A Educação Física Escolar é disciplina de fundamental importância para o desenvolvimento de crianças e adolescentes. A política educacional brasileira se norteia pelo princípio da inclusão escolar ou educação inclusiva, abrangendo toda a diversidade de alunos, especialmente na escola pública. Nesse alunado, estão também os que têm alguma deficiência e apresentam necessidades educacionais especiais. Com esta investigação, procurou-se analisar como ocorre o processo de inclusão de alunos com deficiência nas aulas de Educação Física sob o ponto de vista dos professores, bem como identificar as principais necessidades docentes para o desenvolvimento de um trabalho satisfatório em relação à inclusão de alunos com deficiência física, visual, auditiva, intelectual ou múltipla. Para tanto, foi realizada pesquisa em quatro das seis Secretarias Executivas Regionais de Fortaleza (CE), envolvendo 88 professores de Educação Física que tinham algum aluno com alguma dessas deficiências. Adotaram-se abordagens qualitativa e quantitativa, tendo como instrumentos de coleta de dados um questionário, contendo questões abertas e fechadas, respondido por todos, bem como entrevista semi estruturada com 10% dos participantes. Os resultados apontaram importantes fatores relacionados ao processo de inclusão dos alunos com deficiência, tais como: o maior número de professores, o percentual de 33% dos professores apresentou conhecimento moderado sobre a deficiência do seu aluno; 40,9% consideram moderada a participação de pais ou responsáveis no cotidiano escolar do aluno com deficiência; 42% recebem muito apoio da escola no desempenho de suas atividades didáticas e se preocupam completamente com as peculiaridades do seu aluno com deficiência; 39,8% respeitam os seus limites e dificuldades e avaliam como moderada a participação dos alunos em suas aulas. Conclui-se que o tipo de deficiência e o grau de limitação do aluno está diretamente proporcional ao nível de participação nas aulas e que o interesse e a criatividade do professor, grau de instrução e conhecimento, a estrutura da escola e o apoio dos pais ou responsáveis são significativos para a inclusão escolar proveitosa. Acredita-se que os resultados obtidos poderão subsidiar importantes decisões relativas a Educação Física Escolar, tanto de gestores educacionais e escolares, quanto dos professores, pais, familiares e alunos.

The problem with which this investigation was concerned was that of gaining a better understanding of factors which promote public school teachers' job satisfaction and the determination of the degree of impact of two specific organizational factors upon such job satisfaction. The two organizational factors are those of involvement in the decision-making process of the school district and the locus of control construct. This study had two purposes. The first was to determine if the direct involvement of classroom teachers in the decision-making process of a public school district affected their perceptions of job satisfaction. The second was to determine the relationship of locus of control on job satisfaction when teachers were directly involved in the decision-making process of a public school district.

Education White Paper No.6 (2001) – Special Education: Special Needs Education. Building an Inclusive Education and Training System creates the expectation that more South African schools will need to follow an inclusive approach to address, effectively, the varying educational needs of all learners. A number of South African private schools implemented inclusive programs before the publication of this white paper. This research focuses on the perceptions of four South African private school principals with regards to the implementation of these programs and the consequential development of their schools. This qualitative research generated data about the selected private schools through a semi-structured interview, a document analysis, and a literature review. The processed data displayed the principals’ perceptions about the South African private schools’ nature; location; the expertise of the various stakeholders; the schools’ criteria and considerations for administering an inclusive program; the effects of the inclusive programs on the schools’ development; the influence of an inclusive approach on the development of staff, infrastructure and administration within these schools; and the nature of the systemic changes within these private schools. The literature review confirms that inclusive education is a diffuse term and that the American IDEA legislation, as the most progressive policy in this regard, ensures comprehensive inclusive mainstream schools for all learners, irrespective of their educational needs, in the least restrictive environment in their respective communities. The interview data was transcribed, labelled according to specific markers and thematically interpreted in five groups. The data analysis showed that the location of the private school, the expertise of the stakeholders at the school and the motivation for the program’s existence all play a definitive role in the extent; nature; marketing; assessment; policy formulation; accreditation; infrastructural developments; cost; policies; procedures; decision making; leadership style; in service training and staff allocation linked to the inclusive program. There are still misconceptions and questions about inclusive education within and outside the private school milieu. The growing cost and increased workload linked to this approach impede its widespread development and make other schools hesitant to implement it in the same manner as the private schools used in this research sample. AFRIKAANS : Onderwys Witskrif Nr.6 (2001) –Spesiale Onderwys: Die vestiging van ’n inklusiewe Onderwys en Opleidingstelsel se verwagting is dat meer Suid-Afrikaanse skole ’n inklusiewe benadering sal volg om al die onderwysbehoeftes van alle Suid-Afrikaanse leerders effektief aan te spreek. ’n Aantal Suid- Afrikaanse privaatskole het voor hierdie publikasiedatum verskillende inklusiewe programme geïmplementeer. Dié navorsing werp lig op die sienings van vier Suid-Afrikaanse privaatskool-hoofde aangaande die implementering van dié programme én die skoolontwikkeling wat daaruit voortvloei. Die kwalitatiewe het data oor die geselekteerde privaatskole deur ’n semi-gestruktureerde onderhoud, ’n dokument-analise en literatuurstudie ingesamel en verwerk. Die data het die skoolhoofde se persepsies aangaande die Suid-Afrikaanse inklusiewe privaatskole se aard; ligging; die kundigheid van hulle belanghebbendes; die skole se kriteria en oorwegings om die inklusiewe program te bedryf; die effekte van die inklusiewe program op skool- ontwikkelings; die invloed van die inklusiewe benadering op die personeel-, infrastruktuur- en administratiewe ontwikkelings in dié skole; én die aard van die sistemiese veranderings in die privaatskole opgelewer. Die literatuurstudie het bevestig dat inklusiewe onderwys ‘n diffuse term is en dat die Amerikaanse IDEA-wetgewing, as die progressiefste beleid in hierdie verband, verseker dat ‘n volwaardige inklusiewe hoofstroomskool alle leerders, ongeag hulle onderwysbehoefte, in die minsbeperkte leeromgewing in hulle gemeenskap akkommodeer. Die onderhouddata is getranskribeer, volgens merkers geëtiketteer en tematies geïnterpreteer in vyf groeperings. Die data-analise toon dat die ligging van die privaatskool, die kundigheid van belanghebbendes by die skool en die motivering vir die program ‘n besliste rol speel in die omvang; aard; bemarking; assessering; beleidformulering; akkreditering; infrastruktuurontwikkelings; koste; beleide; prosedures; besluite; leierskapstyl; indiensopleiding en personeeltoewysing van die inklusiewe praktyke. Daar is steeds wanopvattings oor inklusiewe onderwys binne en buite die privaatskoolbedryf, en die verhoogde werkslas en groeiende koste hieraan verbonde rem die wydverspreide ontwikkeling en maak nuwe skole huiwerig om dieselfde stap te neem as die gevestigde skole.

The students are the research subject, as their answers will be the basis for the data collection and analysis. The survey was conducted in an east zone State School in São Paulo, downtown, focusing on students of the 2nd year of high school only. The qualitative method was the one that best responded to the proposed purposes for this research, i.e., the understanding of a real approach which could have the opinions of respondents themselves as a result. We used the observation and a questionnaire with open and closed questions as our method, so we could identify subjects with potential or a reader profile, according to their own personal considerations. In the methodological part, this research reviews the studies of LÜDKE, Menga; ANDRÉ, Marli E.D.A. (1986). FREIRE, Paulo (2009, 2010, 2011); PETIT, Michèle (2008, 2009, 2013) and BAPTISTA, Ana M.H (2011) served as a support for the theoretical foundation, as well as for data analysis obtained. The conclusions of this study enable a much closer understanding of expectations of the potential reader student. / Aunque ni todos los jóvenes tenga nel hábito de la lectura, creemos que todos sean lectores en potenciales; ni siempre eso es explorado por el professor que, a su vez, no observa em el alumno La capacidad y/o la voluntad de profundizar una lectura, sobre todo, la lectura literaria.

El próprio alumno es el sujeto de la pesquisa, y sus respuestas serán la base para la colecta y análisis de los datos. La pesquisa se realizó en una Escuela Estadual de la zona Leste de São Paulo em um barrio periférico, centrando solamente em los alumnos del 2.º Año del Enseño Secundario. El método cualitativo fuelo que mejor contestó a los objetivos propuestos para esta pesquisa, o sea, la comprensión de um planteo real que resultase de las propias opiniones de los entrevistados. La observación y la aplicación del cuestionario com cuestiones abiertas y cerradas fue el método que utilizamos para la identificación de los sujetos con ese potencial o perfil lector, según sus propias consideraciones.

The main objective of every school should be to provide quality teaching and learning. To be able to achieve these goals, a school needs adequate resources. Quality educators are vital in this regard. According to Clarke (2009) in “School Management&Leadership”, Graham Hall of the Wits School of Education estimates that South Africa needs to recruit at least 20 000 teachers a year. This number merely serves to replace those teachers who leave the system annually. Since local training institutions deliver only 7 500 qualified teachers every year, it means that there is an annual shortfall of 12 500 (Clarke, 2009). The challenge of teacher shortages needs to be addressed urgently. One option may be to give aspirant teachers the opportunity to do in-service training, also known as school-based educator training or an internship. However, this creates new challenges –one of which is that different role players need to take responsibility for this method of teacher training. The involvement of the school is obvious, because it plays host to these students. Many schools reacted positively to the request made by the Department of Education to assist with educator training. This unfortunately resulted in such schools burdening their already overworked workforce with even more responsibility. Furthermore, although a school may be willing to contribute to teacher training by accommodating and assisting student teachers, it cannot be assumed that its management will act responsibly and accountably. Only limited guidelines, regulations and prescriptions for managing the student training programme exist at this stage. This means that every school acts in good faith and hopes that it will hit the target. The limited nature of these regulations also allows for the school-based educator training programme to be easily mismanaged or even misused. A more streamlined, uniform system is needed, without limiting the creativity of schools. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Education Management and Policy Studies / unrestricted

In music education, aesthetic education and praxial music education serve as two major, guiding philosophical frameworks, yet supporters of each often conflict with one another. Furthermore, both are slightly problematic with respect to the specific context of the public school. Each framework is primarily music-based, however, music education has existed in the wider context of general education since the 1830s. Given the recent core-status designation for music education, as part of all fine arts, in the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, a framework from general education that supported music education could offer benefits for the domain. However, the wider context of general education is messy as well. Two groups occupy most of the space there, and remain locked in a fundamental disagreement over the purpose of a formal education. The progressive educators, historically framed by Dewey and Thorndike, contend that education functions as societal improvement. In contrast, the essentialists contend that education functions as cultural transmission. Therefore, a more specific need for music education involves selecting a framework from general education that resolves this conflict. The writings of William Chandler Bagley indicate that he balanced both considerations of a formal education while also advancing his notion of essentialism. Bagley differed from the progressive educators predominately associated with Dewey over definitions and ideas surrounding a democratic education. Emergent points of contrast with Thorndike include distinctions between social efficiency and Bagley's alternative idea of social progress. Bagley also diverged from other essentialists over definitions concerning liberal and cultural education. To make these viewpoints of Bagley explicit, I describe characteristics of a progressive education, and an essentialist education separately, before introducing Bagley. Finally, I apply Bagley's ideas into the domain of music education. Ultimately, I contend that through common outcomes of creativity, competition, and literacy, the domain of music education can remain securely grounded in the values within the public schools.

Orientador: Cibele Cecílio de Faria Rozenfeld / Resumo: Nos últimos anos, com a expansão das tecnologias, presenciamos o surgimento de diferentes dispositivos, programas e aplicativos, tornando as Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação (TDICs) cada vez mais presentes no mundo, em diferentes contextos na era da Cultura Digital (SANTAELLA, 2003; BERTOLDO, SALTO E MILL, 2018; KENSKI, 2018). Desse modo, no panorama educacional contemporâneo, ressalta-se os desafios advindos dessa nova era, pois, se por um lado essas ferramentas podem potencializar o trabalho dos educadores, sem delimitação espaçotemporal, por outro elas exigem suporte e Competência Digital dos professores e alunos (UNESCO, 2008, 2014, 2016). Nesse sentido, inúmeras são as discussões acerca da formação de professores, em uma perspectiva crítico-reflexiva (FREIRE, 1979; MOURA-FILHO, 2011) e perceptiva (MERLEAU-PONTY, 1999; MATOS E JARDILINO, 2016), para o ensino de línguas aliado ao uso das tecnologias (BAX, 2003; LEFFA, 2012; PAIVA, 2013; MARQUES-SCHÄFER E ROZENFELD, 2017). Além do mais, percebe-se o descompasso entre a velocidade transformacional das TDICs e a morosidade em integrá-las na Educação e na formação docente, bem como as condições de infraestrutura, a oferta e o manejo de recursos tecnológicos (KENNISNET, 2015; ALMEIDA E VALENTE, 2016). Partindo desse cenário, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as percepções de professores de inglês da rede pública de ensino acerca da relevância do uso das TDICs em sala de aula, da infraestrutura para ...
