A Sociologia, a partir do seu retorno à educação básica como disciplina escolar obrigatória, no ano de 2009 no estado de São Paulo, tornou-se palco de discussões que refletiam sobre seus objetivos, currículo, material didático, condições de trabalho e formação docente. Sua trajetória histórica intermitente pelo currículo trouxe implicações para as pesquisas voltadas a esta temática que, mesmo existindo em número considerável, constituem ainda escassas referências para aqueles e aquelas que se aventuram no ensino de Sociologia. Nesta pesquisa, que tem por objeto de estudo as práticas docentes de um professor e uma professora de Sociologia da rede pública de ensino do estado de São Paulo, compreende-se a escola e seus agentes como produtores de cultura e, por isso, analisa-se aquilo que professores/as de Sociologia realizam na sala de aula. Acredita-se que estas análises realizadas sobre práticas observadas em uma mesma escola dizem respeito a condições e questões que perpassam o nível individual e ao mesmo tempo contribuem para discussões relacionadas tanto ao que é específico da rede estadual paulista quanto ao que está se configurando como próprio da Sociologia no formato de disciplina escolar. / Sociology, from its return to basic education as a mandatory subject in the State of São Paulo, in 2009, has become object of discussions regarding its objectives, curriculum, teaching resources, work environment and teacher formation. Its intermittent historical trajectory in the curriculum has brought about some implications to the research in the area, which, even though existing to a considerable extent, still yields scarce references to those who venture teaching Sociology. The present research, based upon the teaching practice of two São Paulo public-school Sociology teachers, a man and a woman, understands the school and its agents as culture producers and, therefore, analyses what Sociology teachers actually do in the classroom. We believe the analysis performed about practices observed in a single school regard conditions and questions which pervade the individual level, yet contribute to discussions related both to specificities of São Paulos public school and to what has been coming forth as belonging to Sociology as school subject.

The purpose of this essay is to examine what literary heritage teachers communicate in the school subject Swedish at upper secondary school. The overall research question for this work is: Which authors and/or works are mentioned by the teachers in the school subject Swedish at upper secondary school? How well do these authors and/or works answer towards a multicultural perspective? Which factors affect teachers´ selections of texts? Based on this purpose and these research questions, the aim is to answer the didactic question of what. To accomplish the purpose of the study a quantitative method has been used. The survey was conducted in two medium-sized cities in central Sweden, and was answered by 17 teachers. The study shows that the teachers ascribe the Western and Swedish literature great importance. Authorships and/or works outside the Western literary culture sphere are very few, as well as texts written by women and by Swedish writers with immigrant origin or belonging to national minorities. The factors that govern teachers’ selection of texts are agreement in the form of solid reading lists, cooperation and coordination, thematic work, resources and students. The conclusion that follows is that it seems to be the conservative and liberal multiculturalism that emerges most strongly when it comes to teaching literature in the school subject Swedish. / Syftet med föreliggande uppsats är att undersöka vilket litteraturarv lärare förmedlar genom skolämnet svenska i gymnasieskolan. De övergripande forskningsfrågorna är: Vilka för-fattarskap och/eller verk behandlar lärare i undervisningen i skolämnet svenska på gymnasiet? Hur väl svarar dessa författarskap och/eller verk mot ett mångkulturellt perspektiv? Vilka faktorer påverkar lärarnas texturval? Utifrån syftet och forskningsfrågorna är målsättningen att ge svar på den didaktiska vad-frågan. För att uppnå studiens syfte har en kvantitativ metod, i form av en enkätundersökning, anammats. Enkätundersökningen genomfördes i två medelstora städer i mellersta Sverige och besvarades av 17 svensklärare. Resultatet visar att undersökningsdeltagarna tillmäter den västerländska och svenska litteraturen stor betydelse. Författarskap och/eller verk utanför den västerländska litterära kultursfären är väldigt få, likaså texter författade av kvinnor och texter skrivna av svenska författare med invandrarbakgrund eller tillhörande nationella minoritetsgrupper. De faktorer som styr lärarnas texturval är överenskommelser i form av fasta litteraturlistor, samarbete och samordningar, tematiskt arbete, resurser och eleverna. Slutsatsen som följer är att det tycks vara den konservativa och liberala mångkulturalismen som framträder starkast i litteraturundervisningen i svenska.

This study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of analogy-enhanced instruction accompanied with concept maps over traditionally designed chemistry introduction on understanding of acid-base concept and attitude toward chemistry as a school subject. 81 8th grade students from two classes of a chemistry course taught by the same teacher in Nuh Eskiyapan Primary School in Ankara in 2003-2004 fall semesters were enrolled in the study. There were two groups of students. During the treatment, students in the control group were instructed only with traditionally designed instruction. Students in the experimental group studied with the analogy-enhanced instruction accompanied with concept maps through teacher lecture. Both groups were administered Acid-Base Chemistry Achievement Test and Attitude Scale toward Chemistry as a School Subject as pre-tests and post-tests. Logical Thinking Ability Test was given to both groups at the beginning of the study to determine students&rsquo / logical thinking ability levels. Research data were analyzed by using (SPSS 12.0) ANCOVA and t-test. As a result of the research, it was obviously seen that analogy-enhanced instruction accompanied with concept maps caused a significantly better acquisition of scientific conception related to acid-base and produced significantly higher positive attitudes toward chemistry as a school subject than the traditionally designed chemistry instruction.

Este trabalho tem como temática as políticas curriculares circunscritas à análise de processos articulatórios no campo disciplinar da História. Defendo que a Teoria do Discurso de Ernesto Laclau é mais potente para a compreensão de como sujeitos atuam na produção de políticas e de como seus significados são discursivamente produzidos e hegemonizados. Articulo os aportes teórico-metodológicos da Teoria do Discurso aos do Ciclo Contínuo de Produção de Políticas de Stephen Ball, retomando sua defesa de currículo como texto, mas questionando o risco de reintrodução de uma centralidade no processo de significação das políticas. De igual modo, articulo à Teoria do Discurso os aportes da História das Disciplinas Escolares de Ivor Goodson, recuperando sua defesa de que significados disciplinares são negociados nos processos de hegemonização, mas questionando o risco de essencialização dos sujeitos bem como sua subjetivação anterior à articulação política. Com essa construção teórica híbrida, defendo a concepção de currículo como política cultural discursiva e a delimitação de um campo discursivo disciplinar da História como campo ressignificador das políticas curriculares. Reforço os argumentos sobre as potencialidades da Teoria do Discurso a partir de analogias com a linguagem, conferindo centralidade aos conceitos imbricados de metonimização e metaforização e de lógica do significante. A partir de uma das ferramentas da Linguística de Corpus, o programa Wordsmith Tools 5, submeto à análise, por um de seus instrumentos o Concord , o material empírico selecionado. Assim, identifico nas edições da Revista Brasileira de História e da Revista História Hoje publicações da Associação Nacional de História (ANPUH); em Pareceres, Diretrizes, Orientações e Parâmetros Curriculares, dentre outros textos chancelados pelo Estado brasileiro no período compreendido entre os anos de 1960 e 2010; e, em seis entrevistas, a forma como nesses textos se significa conhecimento histórico, destacando a superposição de sentidos. Por fim, defendo, como nos processos de significação, sentidos se deslocam e se condensam simultaneamente, tornando hegemônica a concepção embutida na metáfora de História como construção. Identifico processos de subjetivação nos quais atores sociais, defendendo a centralidade do conhecimento histórico, constituem uma identidade da História, antagonizando-se a outros que constituem uma identidade pedagógica na luta pela hegemonização de sentidos nas políticas curriculares. / This thesis focuses on the curriculum policies which are inserted in the analysis of articulatory processes in the subject field of History. I defend that Ernesto Laclaus Discourse Theory is more effective for the understanding of how subjects act in the making of policies and how their meanings are produced and hegemonized through discourse. I articulate the methodological and theoretical contributions of the Discourse Theory to the contributions of Policy Cycle Approach proposes by Stephen Ball, retaking is defense of curriculum as text but putting in question the risk of the reintroduction of a centrality in the process of the meaning of the policies. I equally link the Discourse Theory to the Goodsons History of School Subjects, recovering his defense that the meanings of the school subjects are negotiated in the processes of hegemonization, but I put in question the risk of essencialization of the subjects as well as their subjectivation being prior to the political articulation. Based on this hybrid theoretical construction I defend the conception of curriculum as a discoursive cultural policy and the delimitation of a subject discoursive field of History as a field that sets new meanings to the curriculum policies. I reinforce the arguments about the potentialities of the Discourse Theory making analogies with language by giving centrality to the imbricated concepts of metonimization and metaphorization and those of logic of the significant. I submit the selected empiric material to analysis based on a tool of the Corpus Linguistics tools, the program Wordsmith Tools 5, through one of its instruments the Concord. Thus in the issues of The Brazilian Magazine of History (Revista Brasileira de História) and of the History Magazine Today (Revista História Hoje) publications of the History National Association (ANPUH); in official documents such as Reports, Directions, Orientations and National Parameters (Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais), among other texts released by the Brazilian State between 1960s and 2010; and in six interviews, I identify the way in which in these previously mentioned texts the historic knowledge is meant by highlighting the superposition of meanings. Finally I defend how meanings are dislocate and condensed simultaneously in the processes of signification, making the conception embedded in the metaphor History as construction hegemonic. I identify subjectivation processes in which social actors constitute an identity of History by defending a centrality of the historic knowledge and in which they act in antagonism to others that constitute a pedagogic identity in the struggle for the hegemonization of meanings in the curriculum policies.

The proposal of this study is to present as an object of research the Geography at Atheneu Sergipense, considering that this institution was a reference in High School Education in Sergipe. The timeframe covers the period of creation of Atheneu Sergipense, i.e. October 24th, 1870, until the moment in which the Decree no.556 of August 24th, 1908 went into effect requiring equalization of programs of secondary schools to the National Gymnasium. In This way, it is the objective of this research understand the Geography from the conception of school subject in due time, considering the contents listed in the Minutes of the Congregation of Atheneu Sergipense and didactic material adopted from main concepts: school culture, of Felgueiras (2010) and history curriculum, Goodson (1995). As research developed, there are three major pillars contributing to geography as school discipline guided the theoretical and methodological foundations of German Schools, American and French. Specifically, in Brazil, the geography was materialized as school discipline from a descriptive sense, without critical analysis, perpetuating itself in this way in textbooks and school benches . Another salutary point alludes to its origin: not born in the Academies, but in elementary schools. In the case of secondary education of Atheneu Sergipense in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries, this research considered the guidance of the explicit curriculum. / A proposta deste estudo apresenta como objeto de pesquisa a Geografia no Atheneu Sergipense, tendo em vista que esta instituição foi referência de instrução secundária em Sergipe. O marco temporal compreende o período de criação do Atheneu Sergipense, ou seja, 24 de outubro de 1870, ao momento em que o Decreto 556 de 24 de agosto de 1908 passou a vigorar exigindo equiparação dos programas das escolas de ensino secundário aos do Ginásio Nacional. Dessa forma, é objetivo precípuo desta investigação compreender a Geografia a partir da concepção de disciplina escolar no período delimitado, considerando-se os conteúdos enunciados nos indícios das Atas da Congregação do Atheneu Sergipense e no material didático adotado a partir de principais conceituações: cultura escolar, de Felgueiras (2010) e história do currículo, de Goodson (1995). Conforme pesquisa desenvolvida, há três grandes pilares contributivos para a Geografia como disciplina escolar pautados nos fundamentos teórico-metodológicos das Escolas Alemã, Norte-Americana e Francesa. Especificamente, no caso brasileiro, a geografia foi materializada como disciplina escolar a partir de uma percepção descritiva, desprovida de análise crítica, perpetuando-se, desta maneira, nos manuais e nos bancos escolares. Outro ponto salutar alude à sua origem: não nasceu nas Academias, mas sim, nas escolas elementares. No caso específico do ensino secundário do Atheneu Sergipense em fins do século XIX e início do XX, esta pesquisa considerou a orientação do currículo explícito.

This thesis investigates the concept of honour and why this is a relevant concept in the teaching of literature in the school subject of Swedish. In order to investigate this I have analyzed two Young Adult books; Heder (2002) and Fallen flicka (2009) by the author Christina Wahldén. These books show how young women of today are systematically subordinated and how their lives are controlled by male relatives. This culturally specific oppression of young women is constituted by ancient concepts of honour, which in turn are interlinked with women’s sexuality and the male control of it. The oppression has its roots in patriarchal and traditional thinking which is specifically characteristic for an honour culture. Both the male as well as the female characters are modeled by the author in order to make a didactic point. She wants to put the oppressive males on display in order to make us (the readers) aware of the horrific situation that many young women of today suffer from. In order to problematize this I apply postcolonial theory. This theoretical approach allows me to question the way in which the characters are constructed in the books. The standpoint which Christina Wahldén takes in writing her books is disputed, and in this thesis I discuss different viewpoints on this matter. On the one hand there are those intellectuals who agree with the above stated. On the other hand there are others who disagree and instead of a clear-cut cultural pattern, view the concept of honour and how it is used in societal debate with great suspicion. For them the finger pointing only cements prejudices and construct clear-cut difference-markers between Us: the good and modern, and Them: the evil and barbaric. Postcolonial theory lends its support to this latter way of thinking. In this thesis I therefore discuss postcolonial theory at lengths. In this discussion I rely on three theorists’ viewpoints in particular: Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak and Homi Bhabha. My own understanding of postcolonial theory is founded on the central thoughts which these theorists advocate. Besides lending its theoretical viewpoints to my readings of Christina Wahldén’s books, Postcolonial theory also influences my didactic discussions. In these discussions I try to explore why, and in what way, Postcolonial theory is applicable to the school subject of Swedish. My own view is that it can be used as a pedagogic tool to enable critical readings. I find this theoretical approach valuable in order for the school subject of Swedish to become a democratic one which engages the students to practice critical thinking and together read, write and discuss texts dealing with the conflicts that surrounds them in today’s multicultural society. In this thesis I argue strongly for this kind of awareness, an awareness which results in an understanding for the purpose of teaching Literature as a way of dealing with topics of significance for the students as members of a democratic society.

O presente trabalho objetiva analisar as práticas da disciplina Canto Orfeônico, na Escola Normal de Aracaju, no período de 1934 a 1971. A importância desta investigação consiste no fato de que procura informar, através dos indícios, a existência do ensino musical escolar, ainda no período imperial. Tal ensino, aos poucos, foi se desenvolvendo, assumiu objetivos, métodos, funcionamentos diferentes, produziu materiais didáticos, recebeu várias denominações e, nos primeiros anos da Revolução de 1930, se denominou Canto Orfeônico constituindo-se, assim, uma disciplina obrigatória no currículo da escola brasileira até 1971. O estudo ancora-se nos autores da Cultura Escolar - Chervel (1990), Goodson (1990), Julia (2001), Forquin (1992), Viñao Frago (2008), Bittencourt (2003), Faria Filho (2002), Oliveira (2007), Souza (2005), Bencostta (2010), Ranzi (2007), Valdemarin (2007), entre outros - e tem como pressuposto teórico-metodológico as abordagens da História Cultural, sobretudo os conceitos defendidos por Le Goff (1984). Trabalhamos com as categorias cultura escolar, cultura material escolar e disciplina escolar. Para tanto, utilizamos um corpus documental diversificado (fontes escritas, como livros, dissertações, teses, jornais, leis, decretos, ofícios, diplomas, certificados, autobiografias e orais, entrevistas com ex-normalistas, ex-professores e, por fim, iconográficas), tendo como propósito uma apreensão mais alargada do objeto de investigação. O exame das fontes demonstrou que, depois da década de 30, a educação musical escolar, na modalidade do Canto Orfeônico, no Brasil e em Sergipe, foi muito bem planejada, articulada ao sistema político de governo, mobilizou massas escolares e concebeu um profissional docente especializado (professor de música). Alguns aspectos das histórias de vida e percursos de formação de professores (as) de Canto Orfeônico foram discutidos com base em Goodson (2000), Lawn (2000), Moita (2000), Nóvoa (2000), Huberman (2000), Sirinelli (2003), entre outros. O processo de institucionalização da profissão docente mobilizou os (as) professores (as) sergipanos (as), no sentido da obtenção de certificados de sua profissão. As práticas orfeônicas em Sergipe seguiram as determinações da legislação federal, mas, pelas peculiaridades da cultura local, assumiu características diferentes de outros estados do Brasil. Contudo, o ritual do culto à pátria - hinos e canções patrióticas -, a valorização dos heróis sergipanos, brasileiros e dos símbolos nacionais são características que marcaram as práticas dessa disciplina em quase todos os estados do Brasil. Em Sergipe, as práticas dessa disciplina foram inseridas, primeiramente, no currículo da Escola Normal de Aracaju e, posteriormente, nos demais estabelecimentos de ensino. A disciplina alcançou um período de êxito (1934 a 1955), porém, em 1956, começou a decair, chegando a ser extinta em 1971. A análise dos documentos oficiais (governo federal), dos documentos normativos (Escola Normal) e dos depoimentos (fontes orais) denotou contradições, ou seja, nem sempre as determinações dos documentos oficiais (currículo pré-ativo) se efetivaram na prática cotidiana da sala de aula (currículo ativo). De um modo geral, no período de 1934 a 1971, a história da disciplina Canto Orfeônico em Sergipe revelou continuidades, rupturas e contradições, mas, mesmo assim, o ensino cumpriu com seus objetivos, pois incutiu uma representação patriótica e nacionalista no imaginário social de muitas gerações de escolares. / This paper aims to analyze the practices of the subject Choral Music in the Normal School of Aracaju, in the period 1934 to 1971. The importance of this research is in the fact of informing, through of evidence, the existence of school music education, still in the imperial period. This teaching, gradually, has developed, assumed goals, methods, different operations, produced educational materials, had several names and, in the early years of the Revolution of 1930, was called Choral Music and from this period became a compulsory subject in the Brazilian school until 1971. For the construction of this paper were used authors of School Culture as a - Chervel (1990), Goodson (1990), Julia (2001), Forquin (1992), Nóvoa (2000), Viñao Frago (2008), Bittencourt (2003), Faria Filho (2002), Oliveira (2007), Souza (2005), Bencostta (2010), Ranzi (2007), Valdemarin (2007), among others - and is based on the theories and methods of Cultural History, especially the concepts defended by Le Goff (1984). We work with the categories: school culture, school material culture and subject school. Were used several documents (written sources, such as books, dissertations, theses, newspapers, laws, decrees, written and formal communication, diplomas, certificates, autobiographies and oral, interviews with former students, former teachers and, finally, iconographies), with the objective of having a broad knowledge of the object of study. The study of the sources showed that after the 30s, the school music education of Choral Music in Brazil and Sergipe, was very well planned, jointed with the political system of government, mobilized the schools and formed a professional school skilled (music teacher). Some aspects of life histories and trajectories of the formation of teachers of Choral Music were discussed based on Goodson (2000), Lawn (2000), Moita (2000), Nóvoa (2000), Huberman (2000), Sirinelli (2003), among others. The process of establishment of the teaching profession mobilized the teachers in Sergipe, with the objective to obtain certification of the profession. The process of instituting the role of music teacher caused a mobilization between the teachers of Sergipe, who sought to build the certification of their profession. The practices of Choral Music in Sergipe obeyed the determinations of governmental law, but by the peculiarities of local culture, took on different characteristics from other states in Brazil. However, the ritual of devotion to country - hymns and patriotic songs - and the appreciation of heroes of Sergipe and Brazil, and national symbols are characteristics that marked the practice of this subject in almost all states of Brazil. In Sergipe, the practices of this subject were introduced first, in the curriculum of the Normal School of Aracaju and later in other schools. The subject has reached a successful period (1934-1955), but in 1956 began to decline, becoming extinct in 1971. The analysis of official documents (government), documents of Normal School, and testimony (oral sources) showed inconsistencies, in other words, not always the determination of official documents reached to the classroom. In general, the period from 1934 to 1971, the history of the subject Choral Music in Sergipe exposed continuities, severances and contradictions, but, the school fulfilled its objectives, because transmitted a patriotic and nationalist representation in the social imaginary of many generations of students.
