Identificaram-se condições para formação de/em uma comunidade de liderança que envolvesse diferentes sujeitos da instituição buscando viabilizar uma presença investigativa cíclica, sistêmica e cooperativa capaz de realizar, de modo autoconstitutivo, autoavaliativo e continuamente problematizador, a Gestão do Clima na referida Escola, mitigando sua inerente degenerescência (MORIN, 2011a). Empregou-se desenho metodológico de abordagem qualitativa, com objetivo exploratório-descritivo, adotando estrategicamente a pesquisa-ação, fundamentada em Thiollent (2011) e Coughlan e Coghlan (2002). Os dados foram tratados via análise textual discursiva (MORAES; GALIAZZI, 2006). Participantes do processo compuseram três subgrupos derivados de um grande grupo de sujeitos influentes no Clima Escolar do 9º ano do CNSM: 1) estudantes do 9º ano e do grêmio estudantil; 2) educadores; 3) equipe de coordenação. Para todos os subgrupos utilizou-se como critério a heterogeneidade dos envolvidos, provocando ambiente de cooperação, no qual a interdependência dos sujeitos gerasse comprometimento com o êxito coletivo e pessoal (JOHNSON; JOHNSON, HOLUBEC, 2007). Para os dois primeiros subgrupos, o processo de pesquisa-ação ocorreu por meio de Grupos de Reflexão, enquanto que para o terceiro adotou-se a função de monitoramento transversal e simultâneo à ação dos demais subgrupos. Os Grupos de Reflexão possuíam processo cíclico estruturado, proporcionando problematização do Clima Escolar no campo de pesquisa, elaboração de planejamento de ações, implementação do planejamento, (auto)avaliação do processo e proposição de um novo ciclo. A pesquisa corroborou a visão paradigmática da Gestão Educacional (LÜCK, 2015) em confluência com o pensamento complexo (MORIN, 2011a; 2011b; 2015), com a concepção de escola cooperativa (JOHNSON; JOHNSON, 1994; 1995; 1999; JOHNSON; JOHNSON, HOLUBEC, 2007), além do teorizado acerca da formação de liderança (KOMIVES et al., 2005; CABRAL; SEMINOTTI, 2009). A análise integrada de resultados, oriundos dos distintos movimentos da pesquisa-ação, apontou ausência de cultura de problematização sistemática do Clima Escolar no CNSM com tendência à sua secundarização. Também constatou necessidade de se considerar uma releitura de tempos e espaços de reflexão e de proposição de ação coletiva, como forma de proporcionar, institucionalmente, maior fluidez de ideias e adesão dos sujeitos à transformações que realmente desafiassem o status quo. Limitações da pesquisa incluíram dificuldades em se ampliar a discussão acerca do Clima e a capilaridade de participação para a totalidade da comunidade, em vista da multiplicidade de pautas institucionais para gestores e docentes, além de uma dinâmica curricular que exigiu do pesquisador busca por espaços intersticiais de modo a assegurar a execução da pesquisa-ação. Possibilidades de aprofundamento da pesquisa envolvem: a) investigação acerca da fidelização de estudantes e educadores da instituição via desenvolvimento de competências de liderança desses sujeitos; b) proposta de formação de/na liderança discente, proporcionadora de construção cooperativa de diretrizes de ações nos diferentes níveis escolares em espiralidade, com vistas à resultados de excelência humana e acadêmica no CNSM. / This research investigated potential factors of School Climate Management in the final year of Elementary School (EFII) of Colégio Nossa Senhora Medianeira (CNSM), Curitiba/PR - Brazil. Conditions were identified for the formation of/in a leadership community that involved different subjects of the institution seeking to make feasible a cyclical, systemic and cooperative investigative presence able to perform the School Climate Management in CNSM, in a self-constitutive, self-assessing and continuously problematizing way, mitigating its inherent degeneracy (MORIN, 2011a). A Methodological design was used involving a qualitative approach, with an exploratory-descriptive objective, adopting strategically the action research, based on Michel Thiollent (2011) and Coughlan and Coghlan (2002). The qualitative data generated were treated via discursive textual analysis (MORAES; GALIAZZI, 2006). Participants in the process composed three subgroups derived from a large group of influential subjects in the School Climate of the 9th grade of CNSM: 1) 9th grade students and the members of the student body of the institution; 2) educators; 3) coordination team. For all the subgroups, the heterogeneity of the participants was used as criterion, provoking an environment of cooperation, in which the subjects' interdependence generated a commitment to collective and personal success (JOHNSON, JOHNSON, HOLUBEC, 2007). For the first two subgroups, the action-research process occurred through Reflection Groups, and for the third, the monitoring function was transversal and simultaneous to the action of the other subgroups. The Reflection Groups had a cyclical structured process, which involved problematizing the School Climate in the field of research, planning of actions, implementation of planning, (self)evaluation of the process and proposition of a new cycle. The research corroborated a new paradigmatic vision of Educational Management (LÜCK, 2015) in conjunction with the complex thinking (MORIN, 2011a, 2011b; 2015), with the conception of cooperative school (JOHNSON, JOHNSON, 1994; 1995; 1999; 2007), besides theorizing about leadership formation (KOMIVES et al, 2005; CABRAL; SEMINOTTI, 2009). The integrated analysis of the results, derived from the different movements of the action research, pointed out the absence of a culture of systematic problematization of School Climate in CNSM with a tendency to secondary it. It also found a need to consider a re-reading of times and spaces for reflection and collective action, as a way to provide, institutionally, greater fluidity of ideas and adherence of subjects to transformations that really challenge the status quo. Limitations of the research included difficulties in broadening for the whole community the discussion about Climate and the capillarity of participation, due to the multiplicity of institutional guidelines for managers and teachers, as well as a curricular dynamics that demanded the researcher search for interstitial spaces to ensure the implementation of action research design. Possibilities for deepening the research involve: a) research on the loyalty of students and educators of the institution through the development of leadership skills of these subjects; b) proposal of formation of/in student leadership, making it possible a cooperative construction of directives of actions in the different school levels in a spiral manner, with a view to the results of human and academic excellence in CNSM.

Much research has been dedicated to the difficulties LGBTQ individuals face. Further, school counselors have been challenged to assist LGBTQ individuals in the school setting. Being aware of the specific issues and being educated about specific ways to assist these individuals enable school counselors to be more effective clinicians (DePaul, Walsh, & Dam, 2009). This article will address three components of counselor preparation and affirmative school counseling interventions: counselor self-awareness, LGBTQ sexual identity development, and LGBTQ-affirmative school climate. For each component, an activity is presented to assist professional school counselors become more LGBTQ-affirmative.

Les Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication (TIC) sont de plus en plus accessibles et utilisées au quotidien, en particulier par les jeunes. Si ces nouvelles formes d’interactions sociales sont porteuses de diverses opportunités (Valkenburg, 2010), elles font émerger dans le même temps des formes de violence inédites. Les recherches sur la cyberviolence se sont considérablement développées depuis les années 2000 au niveau mondial. En France, toutefois, mis à part les travaux de Blaya (2010, 2013), les recherches dans ce domaine restent rares et peu de données relatives à la prévalence, à la nature et aux mécanismes de ce phénomène sont disponibles. L’objectif de cette thèse est, par conséquent, d’évaluer l’ampleur de la cyberviolence entre adolescents en France, d’analyser les caractéristiques de cette nouvelle forme de violence et d’explorer ses processus en lien avec le milieu scolaire, notamment le climat scolaire. A cette fin, nous avons mené une enquête de victimation et de violence auto-reportée auprès de 3586 collégiens et lycéens répartis dans plusieurs académies. Les données recueillies nous permettent de mettre en évidence les taux d’adolescents qui déclarent avoir été victimes et/ou auteurs de chacune des formes de cyberviolence au cours de l’année scolaire. Une attention particulière est également portée à la mesure du cyberharcèlement, que nous choisissons de considérer comme une violence répétée et/ou cumulée. Enfin, des analyses statistiques visant à tester les effets des variables relatives aux caractéristiques sociodémographiques, aux pratiques numériques et à l’expérience de la cyberviolence sur la victimation et la perpétration sont effectuées. Il ressort principalement que la problématique de la cyberviolence est bien réelle même si le cyberharcèlement, dans ses formes les plus sévères, reste minoritaire. Afin de compléter l’enquête quantitative et « ouvrir la boîte noire », des entretiens ont par ailleurs été menés auprès de 34 collégiens. Notre ambition est d’approfondir notre compréhension de l’expérience vécue par les acteurs en interrogeant leurs logiques d’action et le sens qu’ils leur confèrent. Nos analyses permettent, entre autres, d’observer un lien entre les rapports sociaux dans le contexte scolaire et dans le contexte numérique. Ces résultats permettent de souligner l’intérêt d’une prise en compte de l’environnement scolaire, en particulier du climat scolaire, dans la lutte contre la cyberviolence. / Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are more and more daily accessible and used, especially by young people. These new types of social interactions offer various opportunities (Valkenburg, 2010). At the same time, they bring also with them new forms of violence. Research on cyberviolence has developed considerably worldwide since the beginning of the millennium. However, in France, except the work of Blaya (2010, 2013), research in this area remains rare and few data about the occurrence, nature and mechanisms of this phenomenon are available. Consequently, the objective of this thesis is to assess the extent of cyberviolence amongst adolescents in France, as well as to analyze the characteristics of this new form of violence, and finally to explore its processes related to school context, especially school climate. To do so, we carried out a victimization and self-reported violence survey on 3586 secondary schools students in several school authorities/boards. The collected data allow us to highlight the percentage of adolescents who reported to have been victims and/or authors of each types of violence during the school year. A special care was paid to the measurement of cyberbullying, which we defined as a repeated and/or cumulated violence. Finally, statistical analysis were made in order to test the effects of sociodemographic variables, digital practices and cyberviolence experiences on victimization and perpetration. It mainly appears that cyberviolence is a real problem although the most severe forms of cyberbullying remains low. To complete the quantitative survey and “open the black box”, interviews were conducted with 34 middle school students. Our aim was to deepen our understanding of the experience of the actors, by questioning them on their logics of action and the meaning they confer. Among other things, our analysis enabled us to observe a link between the social relations in the school context and in the digital context. These results emphasize the need to consider school environment, notably school climate, to fight against cyberviolence.

One of the challenges facing the education system in South Attica is a lack of the culture of teaching and learning. 1t is this challenge that prompted this research. The research investigated how the principal, as an instructional leader~ can restore the culture of teaching and learning in previously disadvantaged schools. A qualitative approach was used and three schools were selected in the Sambandou Circuit ofthe Northern Province. The research results showed that there are general and management factors that contribute to a lack of the culture of teaching and learning. Management factors include, amongst others, 1ack of staff development programmes and discipline. The general factors, on the other hand, include, amongst others, poor physical conditions and infrastructure in schools. In conclusion, the research recommended, amongst others, that principals conduct staff development programmes and supervise the work of educators and learners.

This study aimed at exploring the school effectiveness characteristics of two high schools, one with high (School A) and one with low (School B) levels of placement ratio in &Ouml / SS for their graduates, to observe their characteristics as perceived by their stakeholders (students, teachers, parents, school administrative staff and managers). In this study, a comparative pre-structured case study method was employed. The study was conducted in two private high schools in the province of Ankara, Turkey. The participants were 10 students, 10 teachers, 10 parents, 2 non-academic staff and 3 administrators from School A, and 10 students, 10 teachers, 7 parents, 3 non-academic staff and 2 administrators from School B. A framework drawn by the researcher as a result of review of relevant literature was used to conceptualize the study and to guide the interview schedules to collect data. According to this framework, six general areas in effective school literature were explored. These areas were academic emphasis, organization and administration, school climate, home-school relations, teaching staff, and physical and financial resources. The data collected through semi-structured interviews were analyzed using content analysis technique. The findings revealed that two case schools had major differences almost in all areas explored. The only major similarity between two schools was in the leadership and leader qualities under organization and administration area. The effective school characteristics of the school with high levels of placement ratio in &Ouml / SS, in all six areas explored were added to the conceptual framework drawn at the beginning of the study.

The thesis focuses on the issue of civic attitudes adopted by students of vocational schools. The author presents an overview of previous Czech research which shows that students of vocational schools are placed at the bottom of international surveys inquiring civic and political knowledge. Moreover, the results reveal that the students of vocational schools express their support for democracy as a way of government the least. The goal of the thesis is to describe civic and political opinions of concrete students and show who influences them and how. It is designed as a multiple case study. Six students of vocational schools from Prague, a smaller town and a village in Central Bohemian Region were chosen to participate in the study. The core of the work is the description of the individual cases in a detailed context including their family, community, school and friends. The findings indicate that the studied students are usually not interested in politics. Their political beliefs are heavily formed by their family and peers. School as an institution does not have any influence, not even through civic education which is compulsory during the first years of high school education. It is most of all caused by fewer opportunities for an open discussion about basic topics in classes. Media have only...

[pt] O Programa Ginásio Experimental Olímpico (GEO) foi implementado pela Prefeitura Municipal do Rio de Janeiro para atender alunos dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental com vocação para o esporte, buscando a formação de excelência do aluno-atleta-cidadão em algumas escolas de horário integral da rede. Desenvolvemos um estudo de caso sobre a implementação do programa em uma das unidades, localizada no bairro Caju. Realizamos entrevistas com técnicos responsáveis pelo programa nos órgãos municipais e instituições que participaram na implementação do projeto e com a equipe de gestão e professores da escola. Aplicamos um questionário aos atores escolares, reunimos documentos sobre o modelo em questão e realizamos observação do cotidiano escolar. Concluímos que a localização da escola influenciou a evolução da demanda de vagas nesse modelo de escola possivelmente em maior medida que as características do projeto propriamente dito. As regulamentações pouco claras favoreceram a discricionariedade dos atores escolares ampliando a margem de tomadas de decisão com base em suas crenças e valores pessoais. As exigências impostas a um modelo criado para atender também à uma demanda por escolas eficazes na rede, assim como a histórica cultura de pouca valorização do papel da educação física e do esporte no contexto escolar também pareceram influenciar tanto a discricionariedade dos atores quanto o estabelecimento da cultura organizacional da escola estudada. Os dados analisados indicaram que o processo seletivo dos professores, os valores motivados pelas ações esportivas e o tempo ampliado de permanência de professores e alunos pareceram influenciar positivamente o clima escolar. / [en] The Olympic Experimental Gymnasium (OEG) Program was implemented by the Municipal Government of Rio de Janeiro, to attend students of the final years of Elementary School with talent for sports, seeking the excellence training of student-athlete-citizen in some full-time schools of the network. A case study on the implementation of the program was developed in one of the units, located in the Caju neighborhood. We conducted interviews with technicians responsible for the program in the municipal agencies and institutions that participated in the implementation of the project, with the management team and teachers of the school. We applied a questionnaire to the school actors, gathered documents about the model in question and made observation as participants in the school everyday. We conclude that the location of the school influenced the evolution of demand for positions in this school model possibly to a greater extent than the characteristics of the project itself. The unclear regulations favored the discretion of school characters by broadening the scope for decision-making based on their personal beliefs and values. The demands imposed on a model created to meet also a demand for effective schools in the network, as well as the historical culture of little appreciation of the role of physical education and sport in the school context, also seemed to influence both the discretion of the characters and the establishment of the organizational culture of the school studied. The data analyzed indicated that the selection process of the teachers, the values motivated by the sports actions and the extended time of permanence of teachers and students appeared to positively influence the school environment.

This work deals with the classroom climate. The aim is to measure and compare the classroom climate at chosen South Bohemian primary and secondary schools. The work consists of two parts. The first part is theoretical and deals with the basic concepts related to the classroom climate. It deals with the school class as a social group, the position of students in the group, key players and climate determinants as well as with the developmental stages of adolescence, also with the differences between elementary and secondary grammar schools and the possibilities of measuring classroom climate. The second part, which is the fundamental for this work, defines the objectives, assumptions and research methods. In conclusion, the measurement results, their interpretation and verification of assumptions are set.

This study investigates the relationship between the school climate, as perceived by the professional staff, and specific leadership behavior, as reported by the school principals in a selected school district in the state of Washington, The purpose of the study is to determine the extent to which the leader behavior of the principal correlates with- the total school climate as well as with the individual factors comprising the school climate. There are no statistically significant relationships among the variables studied. The hypothesis that the higher the leadership skills of the principal the more beneficial would be the climate of the school is not supported. The results suggest that the school climate is independent of the leadership behavior of the principal. Since no difference was found when the factors of climate were considered cumulatively, the individual factors were analyzed for significance. The seven factors of climate, identified by James Tunney and James Jenkins from the CFK Ltd. School Climate Profile, were independent of the leadership ability of the principal.
