Na área do ensino da dança, mais especificamente, do ensino do ballet clássico, esta discussão foi até então pouco abordada. O objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar se a relação professor-aluno no ensino de ballet é determinante para a permanência (ou abandono) do aluno na dança. Partimos da premissa de que o ballet, em meio às outras técnicas de dança ensinadas em escolas livres (academias, conservatórios), continua sendo a mais disseminada, por isso a forma como é ensinada pode influenciar a concepção que o aluno terá sobre dança. Trata-se de uma técnica rígida e sistematizada, que impõe um padrão físico pré-estabelecido e talvez em virtude disto, o que se constata nas aulas é uma postura austera do professor em relação a seus alunos, ilustrada aqui pela imagem do bastão em punho. Acreditamos que a relação professor-aluno mais próxima e a preocupação com a individualidade do aluno muito teriam a enriquecer o ensino de dança / Abstract: The teacher-student relationship and its affects over children, young people and adults development, has been the subject of several studies in educational area. In the area of dance education, c1assical ballet education specificity, this theme has been little discussed. The subject of this research is investigating if the teacher-student relationship in barbet education has any importance in stimulating the students' interest or causing them to give up. We've started on the premise that since ballet, among other dance techniques taught in free schools (academies, conservatories), continues to be the more widely taught, and that there is real importance in the way it is taught: it can have an influence on the student's concept of dancing. Ballet is a rigid and systematic technique, which imposes a pre-established physical standard and, perhaps, it could be the reason that we usably see an austere teacher posture in relation with his/her students, here illustrated by the image of stick in hand. We believe that a c1oser teacher-student relationship in which the teacher is concerned with each individual can ready enrich dance education / Mestrado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Mestre em Educação

Denna fältforskningsstudie har undersökt hur två matematiklärare i årskurserna 4-6 arbeta med målprocesser och arbetssätt i matematikundervisningen i relation till elever med fallenhet för matematik samt hur lärarnas sätt satt arbeta med dessa aspekter enligt forskning påverkar elevgruppens kunskapsutveckling. Data består utav forskningsbaserade textkällor med särskild fokus på matematisk begåvning och det didaktiska perspektivet och empiri från intervjuer och kvalitativa observationer. Granskningar av den svenska matematikundervisningen visar att elever med fallenhet för matematik i liten utsträckning erbjuds tillräcklig stimulans för att utveckla särskilda eller inneboende talanger och förmågor i den svenska matematik-undervisningen. Forskningsstudier visar också att den svenska skolan generellt ställer låga krav på elevers prestationer och att elever i liten grad delaktiggörs i målprocesser och undervisningsplanering, vilket framhålls som negativt för elevgruppens studiemotivation och kunskapsutveckling. Likväl uppger forskning baserade granskningar att matematik-undervisningen i den svenska skolan vanligtvis är läromedelsstyrd, vilket i sin tur medför att arbetssätt och målprocesser styrs av läromedlet framför att individanpassas dem efter elever. Utifrån insamlad empiri bekräftar denna studie till viss del vad granskningarna uttrycker men data visar också att de två studerade lärarna gör individanpassningar och delaktiggör elever i arbetssätt och målprocesser i matematikundervisningen. / This field research study has investigated how two mathematics teachers in grades 4-6 work with goal processes and working methods in mathematics teaching in relation to students with mathematical cases and how the teachers' approaches to these aspects as research affect the student group's knowledge development. Data consists of research-based sources of text with a particular focus on mathematical talent and the didactic perspective and empirical evidence from interviews and qualitative observations. Examinations of Swedish mathematics education show that students with a mathematical minority are to a small extent offered sufficient incentives to develop special or inherent talents and abilities in Swedish mathematics education. Research studies also show that the Swedish school generally places low demands on student performance and that pupils are not involved in goal processes and teaching planning, which is considered negative for the student group's study motivation and knowledge development. Nonetheless, research based surveys indicate that mathematics teaching in Swedish schools is usually instructed by the teaching staff, which in turn means that work methods and target processes are controlled by the learning tool in order to individually tailor them to students. Based on collected empirical studies, this study partially confirms what the reviews express, but data also shows that the two studied teachers make individual adjustments and participate in making students work methods and goal processes in mathematics teaching.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to find what stance the particular teachers of primary and secondary schools (N=50) adopt on the problem of learning disability, especially dyslexia. Very important is to study their awareness and knowledge of this issue, their opinions and especially their personal experience. In the theoretical part of the work the history and characteristics of learning disabilities are introduced, then there is the focus on dyslexia particularly where causes, diagnostics and possibilities of reeducation are presented as well. The important part of these issues is a help of specialists which is also a component of the theoretical part. The next section is focused on teaching of foreign languages, especially English language, where the suitable methods and possible teaching aids for learning disabilities are mentioned. In the practical part of this thesis three case interpretations of pupils/students with learning disabilities are presented as well as the research - the questionnaire survey - itself. There is good knowledge of teachers in this topic which is obvious from the result of this research, at the same time their experience with these children is significant, their opinions on mixed classes are predominantly positive. On the other hand, there is a majority of answers...

Title: The ability of the future elementary school teachers to provide the first aid to pupils at live-threatening conditions Summary: This thesis is focused on the ability of future elementary school teachers in providing first aid to pupils in a life-threatening conditions.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / This study examines how families judge and choose high schools. The review of literature relating to school choice provides a theoretical framework for the study. The review includes an international perspective including both developed countries such as United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, England and Wales, the Netherlands, Scotland and Sweden, and developing countries including India, Chile, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Mauritania, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire and South Africa. The context within which school choice occurs in South Africa is examined. This context includes continued influence of Apartheid policies and current legislation including the South African Schools Act, The Admission Policy for Ordinary Schools Act and the Norms and Standards for Schools Funding. The literature review includes a critical analysis of the research, both Local and International, which addresses questions as to which factors are considered when judging and choosing schools, who makes the choice school, when the choice of school is made and which sources of information inform the choice of school. The empirical study examines the process of high school choice in urban Cape Town. The group areas Act and other Apartheid policies have created a situation where the respondents have a large number of high schools from which to chose. The selected area reflects diversity in Socio-Economic status, including both privately owned homes and council rental flats and houses. The study is limited to English medium or dual medium schools in the area. It includes both co-ed and single gender schools. / South Africa

The aim of this study is to increase our knowledge of teacher’s work with reading comprehension and reading strategies. In order to get an understanding of how the teachers work with reading comprehension, I have performed qualitative interviews with five practicing primary school teachers. The result shows that all the teachers consider that it is important to work with reading comprehension and reading strategies in primary school. The result also shows that the teachers are using different tools and different teaching methods to support and to facilitate the development of the pupils. / Syftet med den här undersökningen är att undersöka hur olika lärare arbetar med lässtrategier och läsförståelse. Undersökningen har genomförts med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer med fem yrkesverksamma lärare med olika arbetslivserfarenhet genom vilka jag försöker få en förståelse för hur de arbetar. Lärarna undervisar i årskurs ett till tre. Resultatet visar att samtliga lärare anser att lässtrategier och läsförståelse ska arbetas med i årskurs ett till tre eftersom det påverkar de andra ämnena som undervisas. Resultatet visar även att lärarna har olika tillvägagångsätt när det kommer till hur de undervisar eleverna för att främja deras läsförståelse och lässtrategier.
