No. of bitstreams: 1 2014 - Maristela Almeida Mercandeli Rodrigues.pdf: 6894633 bytes, checksum: e785720f1704a76402ce2d2e070e69fb (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-05-22 / The objective of this research is to describe how the practices of librarians reflect their collective learning and provide teachers in the practice of searching for teaching. How people learn about their practices is the subject of study by organizational learning (AO), which appears in the literature from two perspectives: technical and other social perspective. For this research, the social perspective was strengthened by considering learning as an emergent phenomenon of social interactions as a social construction of the human condition. Specifically, a social practice perspective of understanding of the organizational learning process from which emerges the notion of communities of practice. The librarian practice is potentially focused on the skills and techniques that professional mediators. The literature points to the need for closer relations between the librarian and the teacher. We opted for the Participant Research as methodology, which revealed through a workshop on good practices with librarians, and semi-structured interviews with script with teachers, methodological and political importance of the knowledge generated. There is evidence that what Pedro Demo (2004) calls for more decisive "comparative advantage" of PP, since profound changes necessarily involve both the ability to think about alternative interventions from the perspective of the subject (construction of historical autonomy ). That meant admitting that political and ideological implications stem from a practice historically made by teachers and librarians in the school environment, even though this practice has not been based on doing and learning collective. The awareness of community, more specifically the importance of a collective practice was spontaneous and raised the subject when performing the search. The sharpness with that consciousness appears as a search result has been an encouragement to the researcher. / O objetivo desta pesquisa ? descrever como as pr?ticas dos bibliotec?rios refletem sua aprendizagem coletiva e propiciam nos docentes a pr?tica de pesquisar para ensinar. Como as pessoas aprendem sobre suas pr?ticas ? tema de estudo por parte da aprendizagem organizacional (AO), que aparece na literatura sob duas perspectivas: uma perspectiva t?cnica e outra social. Para esta pesquisa, a perspectiva social ganhou ?nfase por se considerar a aprendizagem como fen?meno emergente das intera??es sociais, como uma constru??o social da condi??o humana. Especificamente, numa perspectiva sociopr?tica de compreens?o do processo de aprendizagem organizacional da qual emerge a no??o de comunidades de pr?tica. A pr?tica bibliotec?ria se revela potencialmente focada nas habilidades t?cnicas e mediadoras desse profissional. A literatura aponta para a necessidade de estreitamento nas rela??es entre o bibliotec?rio e o docente. Optou-se pela Pesquisa Participante como metodologia, a qual revelou por meio de uma oficina de boas pr?ticas com os bibliotec?rios, e de entrevistas semi estruturada com roteiro com os docentes, a import?ncia metodol?gica e pol?tica do conhecimento gerado. H? que se evidenciar o que Pedro Demo (2004) denomina de ?vantagem comparativa? mais decisiva da PP, uma vez que mudan?as profundas implicam, necessariamente, tanto o saber pensar quanto as interven??es alternativas a partir da ?tica do sujeito (constru??o da autonomia hist?rica). Isso significou admitir que implica??es pol?ticas e ideol?gicas decorrem de uma pr?tica historicamente constru?da por docentes e bibliotec?rios no ambiente escolar, mesmo que esta pr?tica ainda n?o tenha sido fundamentada no fazer e aprender coletivo. A tomada de consci?ncia de coletividade, mais especificamente da import?ncia de uma pr?tica coletiva foi espont?nea e suscitada nos sujeitos ao se realizar a pesquisa. A nitidez com que essa consci?ncia aparece como resultado da pesquisa foi um alento para a pesquisadora

In this study, teaching is seen as a complex decision-making situation, where different factors that influence the teaching and learning process are interwoven and connected with each other. To describe and analyse the complexity of teaching literature in a foreign language instruction setting is the aim of the study. The study was conducted with one teacher participant and her group of 16–17 years old pupils in a Swedish upper secondary school, while they read a German youth novel. Data on the teacher decisions in the planning phase was collected by interviewing the teacher before the actual teaching of the novel and between lessons, while the implementation of the teacher decisions was observed during the lessons. In the interviews, four decision areas showed to be central to the teacher: teaching goals, choice of text, task formulation, and the role of freedom and control as central concepts of learner autonomy. In the analysis chapters, the decisions within these different areas are described, commented on, and contextualized within the teacher’s own teaching concepts, and within current research and theory on foreign language reading, learning, and teaching. Factors critical to the decision-making situation are identified. The findings of the study show that teaching literature employs a decision-making process of great complexity because of the subjective character of the reading process. The complexity of the process is increased by the fact that a foreign language was being taught. Even for an experienced teacher (as the teacher who was observed in the study is) teaching decisions are characterized by a complexity which her many years of teaching experience can only partly compensate for. The main goal for the teaching of the novel was formulated by the teacher as ‘reading pleasure’, a concept grounded on a previous teaching experience. Since the teacher saw tasks as an obstacle for a reading experience, the task formulation constituted a conflict for her. In the study, the structure of the conflict is described by investigating different understandings of the concepts ‘reading pleasure’ and ‘task’. A crucial question was raised: What was considered to be the most important activity of the lesson: the reading or the tasks? When the task is secondary to the reading, there is an opportunity for the learner to focus on the reading experience; an important condition for reading pleasure. When the task is considered to be the primary activity, the student’s focus is on solving the task, and the reading activity thus looses its importance when the task is fulfilled. The interpretation of teaching concepts like ‘task’ is therefore a crucial factor that influences the teacher’s decisions about the teaching. A second concept that is central to the teacher’s teaching activities is ‘learner autonomy’. Since it is a central concept in the Swedish school curriculum, learner autonomy is held in very high esteem, whilst teacher control is consequently held in very low esteem. The idealization of learner autonomy, along with insufficient explanation of its impact on the distribution of the responsibility for the learning process between teachers and pupils are seen as factors that lead to an increased complexity in the decision-making process about how to manage situations where pupils are not prepared to take on the responsibility that is given to them.

Our paper presents some preliminary observation from a collaborative exploratory study linking mathematics, science and reading within a technology enhanced problem-based learning scenario conducted at one French Canadian Elementary and Middle School. Presented in a form of dialogue between teacher and researcher, our findings give some meaningful insight in how an innovative mathematics teaching can be developed and implemented using a real-world problem solving. Instead of a traditional presentation of material about lighting up homes, participating mathematics, science and French teachers were working collaboratively with the ICT integration mentor and two university professors helping students investigate a problem from various perspectives using a variety of cognitive and metacognitive strategies, discussing and sharing the finding with peers and presenting them to a larger audience using media tools. Our preliminary results may prompt further investigation of how innovation in teaching and learning can help students become better critical thinkers and scientifically empowered citizens.

Relata-se no texto uma situação de pesquisa-ação em Educação. Esta metodologia de pesquisa se caracteriza por uma sequência típica de ação-reflexão-ação, que envolve e implica a comunidade pesquisada. Trata-se da análise da intervenção pedagógica da autora em classes de 1ª série da Habilitação Magistério dentro do Projeto Centro Específico de Formação e Aperfeiçoamento do Magistério (CEFAM) do bairro Butantã, na cidade de São Paulo, lecionando a disciplina Física, de 1991 a 1997. Por fim, foi (re)contextualizada a situação investigada. Num primeiro momento, a ação da pesquisadora-professora dentro do processo ensino-aprendizagem, centrou-se na estruturação do conteúdo conceitual de Física, num esquema que começou a denominar o Laboratório do Cotidiano do estudante, caracterizado por promover a aprendizagem a partir de situações que lhe são familiares e é uma contribuição do presente estudo ao ensino de Física no Grau de Magistério. Os resultados das reflexões contínuas sobre as ações, engendrando novas ações em cadeia, mostraram, entretanto, que é impossível atingir uma receita para o Ensino de Física, provavelmente em qualquer grau de escolaridade, apenas estruturando o conteúdo, se se deseja que os estudantes criem uma visão epistemológica diferente para os conceitos físicos, se formem como sujeitos críticos, criativos, autônomos, porém cooperativos. Assim, é necessário atentar-se para a interação social dentro da sala de aula, envolvendo todos os seus componentes, promovendo as falas entre os alunos e entre o professor e os alunos, como também a escuta atenta das mesmas, sendo esta escuta a mais importante das posturas facilitadoras da aprendizagem. Num segundo momento, ficou, pois, claro que é necessário enfocar também o Laboratório do Cotidiano do professor, conceito cunhado nesta pesquisa, que é a própria sala de aula, nascendo da reflexão o planejamento dinâmico de aula, informado pela prática, continuamente modificado e dando origem a um planejamento anual, repensado e avaliado em um continuum, quanto aos objetivos a serem alcançados, quanto aos conteúdos conceituais e de postura. Por fim, também advoga-se a escuta atenta das instituições escolares, entre si e pelas estruturas hierarquicamente superiores, responsáveis pela Educação, em particular dentro do conjunto de Projetos CEFAM existentes, resgatando seu propósito inicial de formação rápida de docentes competentes para as primeiras séries do 1º Grau. / The present text refers to a action-research situation in Education. This research methodology is caracterized by a typical sequence of action-refletion-action, which involves and comprises the community being investigated. The object of analysis is the pedagogic intervention of the author within first grade physics classes of a Teacher Formation Project of intermediate level [Centro Específico de Formação e Aperfeiçoamento do Magistério (CEFAM)], in the district Butantã of the city of São Paulo, between 1991 and 1997. At a first moment, the action of de researcher-teacher, in the teaching-learning process, was centered on structuring the conceptual Physics content, within a scheme which the author started to call Everyday Laboratory. This Everyday Laboratory for the student is characterized by trying to promote student learning, taking as starting point situations which are familiar to them, and it is a contribution of the present study to Physics teaching at a intermediate level for future Elementary School Teachers. The results of reflecting continuously on the actions, generating new actions in a chain-like fashion, demonstrated, however, that it is impossible to attain a recipe for Physics teaching, probably at any schooling level, if the aim is for the students to create a different epistemological view of the Physics concepts, being then formed as critical, creative, autonomous, but cooperative subjects. Thus, it is necessary to pay attention to the social interaction within the class, involving all its components, promoting talks between students and between the teacher and the students, as well as an attentive hearing, of those, this being the most important facilitative attitude for learning. At a second moment, it became, therefore, clear that it is necessary to also focus on the Everyday Laboratory of the teacher, a concept born here, which is the proper class room, where a dynamic planning for classes emerges from reflection, informed by practice, it being continuously modified, giving origin to an annual planning, which also is continuously renewed and assessed, in view of the objectives to be attained, referring to conceptual and postural contents. Finally, an attentive hearing is also proposed for the schoolar institutions, among each other and by those which are hierarchically superior and responsible for Education, in particular within the set of existing CEFAM institutions, to rescue their primordial objective of rapid formation of competent teachers, for the very first grades of Elementary School.

Cette thèse propose une analyse économique de la qualité et de l'efficience des universités et des systèmes universitaires au niveau international, à travers l'utilisation des indicateurs intrants et extrants et la méthode d'enveloppement des données (Data Envelopment Analysis DEA). La thèse est composée de quatre chapitres. Le premier chapitre intitulé "les classements des universités : une mise en perspective critique" présente et évalue la pertinence des indicateurs intrants/extrants les plus utilisés par les classements des universités. Il est l'occasion d'exposer un certain nombre de critiques présentes dans la littérature et de focaliser sur un problème méthodologique répandu dans les classements. Il s'agit de l'utilisation des inputs (intrants) comme des mesures de la qualité des universités. Une telle pratique confond moyen et résultat et fait l'impasse sur les concepts de base des modèles de comptabilité en termes de fonction de production et d'efficience. Le deuxième chapitre intitulé "caractéristiques et classements des universités : autour de quelques facteurs capables d'expliquer les différences de performance entre les universités", compare les résultats de deux classements: QS-Times et Shanghai et propose une liste de facteurs capables d'expliquer pourquoi il existe de telles différences de qualité, selon ces classements, entre les universités. [...] Le troisième chapitre intitulé "la performance et l'efficience des universités et leurs déterminants: une évaluation à partir des classements mondiaux des universités et de la méthode DEA" évalue sur la base d'une méthode DEA l'efficience de 214 universités issues de 13 pays différentes afin de savoir si les universités les mieux classées parmi les classements traditionnels sont aussi les universités qui utilisent le mieux leurs ressources. [...] Enfin, le quatrième chapitre, titré "l'efficience des systèmes universitaires de 35 pays et leurs déterminants: une évaluation par la méthode DEA et le calcul des indices de Malmquist (2006-2012)" évalue l'efficience et les performances des systèmes universitaires de 35 pays. Il propose de nouveaux scores d'efficience globale qui viennent compléter les deux premières études sur ce sujet d’Agasisti (2011) et St. Aubyn et al (2009). Les nouveautés par rapport à l'article d'Agasisti (2011) sont au nombre de cinq: l'échantillon est plus important (35 pays au lieu de 18), la période d'observation est actualisée, l'évolution de l'efficience entre deux périodes est calculée, le nombre des intrants et des extrants incorporé dans chaque modèle est plus élevé et un modèle spécifique d'évaluation de l'efficience de la recherche est proposé. Il conforte la thèse selon laquelle les systèmes universitaires de la Suisse et du Royaume-Uni sont les plus efficients. Il montre aussi sur la base d'un calcul des indices de Malmquist qu'entre 2006 et 2012 l'efficience en matière d'enseignement des 35 systèmes universitaires évalués a eu tendance à diminuer alors que l'efficience de la recherche et de l'attractivité- réputation de ces mêmes systèmes a plutôt eu tendance à augmenter. Ce qui permet de mieux évaluer l'effet des réformes inspirées par l'usage du classement de Shanghai sur les systèmes universitaires. Ces réformes conduisent les enseignants-chercheurs à délaisser l'enseignement pour la recherche. / This thesis aims to economically analyze the quality and efficiency of universities and university systems at an international level of comparison, by using input/output indicators and the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. The thesis is composed of four chapters. The first chapter entitled "university rankings: a critical perspective" presents and evaluates the relevance of inputs/outputs indicators used by most university rankings. It is the opportunity to present a number of criticisms found in the literature and focus on a common methodological problem in the rankings. It is the use of inputs as measures of university quality. This practice confuses means and results and ignores the basic concepts of accounting models in terms of production functions and efficiency. The second chapter entitled "characteristics and rankings of universities : around some factors that can explain the differences in performance between universities", compares the results of two rankings: QS-Times and Shanghai and offers a list of factors that may explain why there are such differences in quality, according to these rankings between universities. [...] The third chapter entitled "performance and efficiency of universities and their determinants: an evaluation using world university rankings and DEA methodology" evaluates on the basis of a DEA methodology the efficiency of 214 universities from 13 different countries, in order to find if the top ranked universities among traditional rankings are also universities that best utilize their financial and human resources. [...] The fourth chapter titled "efficiency of university systems in 35 countries and its determinants: an assessment by DEA methodology and the calculation of Malmquist indices (2006-2012)" assesses the efficiency and performance of university systems of 35 countries. It offers new scores for overall efficiency that complement the first two studies on this topic in the literature by Agasisti (2011) and St.Aubyn et al (2009). Compared to the article of Agasisti (2011), we identify five new developments in our study : the sample is higher (35 countries instead of 18), the observation period is updated, the evolution of efficiency between two periods is calculated, the number of inputs and outputs incorporated into each model is higher and a specific model for evaluating the efficiency of research is proposed. Our study confirms the thesis that the university systems of Switzerland and the United Kingdom are the most efficient. It also shows based on the calculations of Malmquist indices between 2006 and 2012 that teaching efficiency of 35 reviewed university systems has a tendency of declining while the research efficiency and that of attractivity-reputation is rather increasing. This allows a better assessment of the impact of reforms inspired by the Shanghai ranking on university systems. These reforms led the academic staff of universities to abandon their focus on teaching in favor of research activities.
