No. of bitstreams: 1 Andrezza Silva Cameski.pdf: 99502367 bytes, checksum: dc3c3bc12708099d76324c28e4d4b97c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-09-24 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The research purpose is to understand the course of teaching of Literature at Colégio Pedro II, since its start as a school subject to Benjamin Constant amendment, during the first year of Republic, in 1890. Colégio Pedro II became a reference to this research for being the first institution where Literature started being studied in a methodic way, starting along the Rhetorica e Poetica seat, besides being considered a pattern institution and reference during century XIX. It is about thinking the way the seat was planned, established and organized, as well as its studying topic, which material were used and what was the objective of teaching, concerning the understanding of constitution of humane civilizing process, taking the context into consideration. The observing of the institution will be present in the aspects that refer to the research topic data, aiming to understand its application and purposes dynamics. The theory is that Literature, when started at Colégio Pedro II, in the century XIX, became representative of a scholar model which intended to develop a national identity in its civilizing projects integrated to concepts of the Christian European world. As a studies program in Literature was created, it was noticed that such studies showed a dubious concern in strengthening a national identity when selecting mainly foreign authors and literary compositions. The sources selected to research are school documents and those related to the organization of Colégio Pedro II concerning the teaching staff and the classes. We favored the programs, Colégio Pedro II congregation records, periodicals and teaching material used to teach the literary content. For document analysis we have as a pretext the school subject conceptions of André Chervel s (1990, 1992, 1999) and Ivor Goodson s (1997), which have as a perspective the importance of historical studies for understanding the formation of a school knowledge, in which several people politicians, intellectuals settled in different command fields and especially the teachers / A pesquisa objetiva compreender o percurso do ensino de Literatura no Colégio Pedro II, a partir de sua constituição como disciplina escolar até a reforma Benjamin Constant, no primeiro ano da República, 1890. O Colégio Pedro II se tornou referência para esta pesquisa por se tratar da instituição primeira onde a Literatura passou a ser estudada metodicamente, iniciando junto à cadeira de Rhetorica e Poetica, além de ser considerada instituição modelar e referencial no decorrer do século XIX. Trata-se de pensar o modo com a cadeira foi planejada, instaurada e organizada, bem como seu objeto de estudo, quais materiais eram utilizados e o que se pretendia com esse ensino, dentro do que se entendia por constituição de processo civilizatório humanístico, considerando o contexto. A observação da instituição estará presente nos aspectos que dizem respeito aos dados do objeto de pesquisa, de modo a compreender a dinâmica de sua aplicação e finalidades. A hipótese é a de que a Literatura, ao ser constituída no Colégio Pedro II, no século XIX, tornou-se representativa de um modelo escolar que pretendia desenvolver uma identidade nacional dentro dos projetos civilizatórios integrados a concepções do mundo europeu cristão. Ao montar um programa de estudos em Literatura, notou-se que tais estudos apresentaram uma preocupação ambígua no fortalecimento de uma identidade nacional ao selecionarem autores e obras majoritariamente estrangeiros. As fontes selecionadas para a pesquisa são documentos escolares e os referentes à organização do Colégio Pedro II quanto ao corpo docente e das aulas. Privilegiamos os programas, atas de congregação do Colégio Pedro II, periódicos e materiais didáticos utilizados no ensino do conteúdo literário. Para a análise da documentação temos como pressuposto as concepções de disciplina escolar de André Chervel (1990,1992,1999) e Ivor Goodson (1997), que tem como perspectiva a importância de estudos históricos para a compreensão da constituição de um conhecimento escolar do qual participam vários sujeitos políticos, intelectuais situados em diferentes esferas do poder e, em especial os professores

Educação musical escolar em Sergipe: uma análise das práticas da disciplina  Canto Orfeônico na Escola Normal de Aracaju (1934-1971) / School music education in Sergipe: an analysis of the practices of the subject Choral Music in the Normal School of Aracaju (1934-1971).

Elias Souza dos Santos 25 September 2012 (has links)
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.

Mellan retorik och praktik : En ämnesdidaktisk och läroplansteoretisk studie av svenskämnena och fyra gymnasielärares svenskundervisning efter gymnasiereformen 1994

Knutas, Edmund January 2008 (has links)
<p>Swedish as a school subject has long been debated in Sweden, and ideas concerning its content, role and function in school and society have varied greatly throughout the years. In 1994, there was an upper secondary school reform which resulted in a partial revision of the Swedish subject, including its introduction within a new course and grading system. The Swedish A and B courses became obligatory for all upper secondary students. Other courses in Swedish became largely optional.</p><p>This study consists of two levels – a rhetorical and practical level. The rhetorical level deals with understandings and ideas of the Swedish subject and instruction as they are expressed in curricula and course syllabi, as well as with the understandings and ideas expressed by the four teachers in the study. In addition, the external and internal frame factors which underlie this rhetoric are considered. The practical level concerns the four teachers’ concrete Swedish instruction, i.e. the aims and goals, content and working methods which underlie their teaching, as well as the factors which influence, limit and facilitate it.</p><p>The aim of the study is to attempt to describe, analyse and understand the role and function of the Swedish subject after the upper secondary school reform of 1994. What ideas do the four teachers express regarding the role and function of the Swedish subject in upper secondary school and society after 1994, and how should these ideas and reasons be interpreted and understood from a more comprehensive, general perspective? How do the teachers represent the Swedish subject in their teaching, i.e. how is their knowledge of subject didactics expressed? These are two central questions in the study. A third central question concerns notions of society and the good citizen implied in the chosen views of the Swedish subject.</p><p>The study has two theoretical starting points: subject didactics and curriculum theory. Shulman’s concepts of pedagogical content knowledge and transformation are central to the subject didactics drawn upon here, while frame factor theory and Bernstein’s concepts of “classification” and “framing” are central to the curriculum-theoretical perspective. The perspective of subject didactics deals with the relation between teacher and content, while the curriculum-theoretical perspective deals with the relation between content, individual and society.</p><p>This study shows that the teachers’ knowledge of subject didactics is vague.The teachers’ transformation of content in teaching resides to a high degree in an adaptation to the students; the focus is thus not on a transformation and content analysis of the Swedish subject. Further, the teachers have an instrumental approach to the steering documents. A common characteristic among the four teachers, and in Swedish instruction generally, is that a large degree of responsibility is placed on the individual student for their literary and language development. Collective meetings were very infrequent in the teaching of the four teachers in the study.</p><p>This study discerns four teacher codes which reflect understandings and ideas of school and education, formed by previous and current material and sociocultural conditions and which the individual teacher has encountered, adopted and reshaped into his/her own.

Teaterpedagogik på gymnasieskolans estetiska program : Sju teaterlärare samtalar om sin undervisning / Theatre Education at the Upper Secondary School Arts Program : Seven Theatre Teachers Talk About Their Teaching

Remfeldt, Jens January 2013 (has links)
Denna studie genomfördes på gymnasieskolans estetiska program under tiden gymnasiereformen, Gy 2011, tog form. Syftet med denna uppsats är att lyfta fram, medvetandegöra, synliggöra och beskriva en grupp teaterlärares grundläggande ställningstaganden om gymnasieskolans teaterundervisning. Två huvudteman interagerar. 1: Hur upplever gruppen teaterlärare balansen mellan konstnärliga och pedagogiska intentioner i teaterundervisningen? 2: Hur hanterar gruppen teaterlärare balansen mellan lärares initiativ och stimulans och elevernas möjligheter till självständigt skapande?  Med en kvalitativ metod genomfördes reflekterande gruppsamtal med sju teaterlärare. Influerad av aktionsforskning deltog författaren i samtalen. Resultaten visar att gruppen teaterlärare eftersträvar interaktion mellan konstnärliga och pedagogiska aspekter i teaterundervisningen och att detta bidrar till att påverka teaterlärarnas didaktiska ställningstaganden. Teatern framställs som performativ, vilket beskriver de aspekter av teaterarbetet som, i en kommunikativ process och med en genomtänkt gestaltning, vänder sig till en publik. En grundläggande inställning till lärarrollen är att stimulera elevernas skapande och hjälpa fram deras egna uttryck genom att balansera graden av läraraktivt deltagande och medskapande. En kombination av stark eller svag stimulans från läraren och av stort eller litet utrymme för elevens autonomi ger flera möjliga lärarroller. Sammanfattning av resultaten visar att teaterlärarna eftersträvar att röra sig fritt och medvetet mellan dessa roller, och att deras växlande av roller tydligt kommuniceras till såväl elever som kollegor. / This study was carried out in the upper secondary school arts program while the reform, Gy 2011, took shape.  The purpose of this thesis is to highlight, raise an awareness of, visualize and describe a group of theatre teachers’ basic stances on upper secondary school theatre education. Two main themes interact. 1: How does the group of theatre teachers perceive the balance between artistic and pedagogical intentions in theatre education? 2: How does the group of theatre teachers manage the balance between teachers’ initiative and stimulus and students' opportunities to independent creation? With a qualitative method, reflective conversationswere carried out with seven theatre teachers. The author, who was influenced by action research, participated in the conversations. The findings reveal that the theatre teachers strive for interaction between artistic and pedagogical aspects in theatre education and that this interaction contributes to influence the theatre teachers’ didactic positions. Theatre is presented as performative, which describes the aspects of theatre work that, in a communicative process and with a deliberate design, addresses an audience. A basic approach to the role of the teacher is to stimulate students' creativity and boost their self-expression by balancing the degree of teacher active participation and co-creation. A combination of strong or weak stimulus from the teacher and of small or large space for student autonomy enables several possible teacher roles. In summary, the findings shows that theatre teachers strive to move freely and deliberately between these roles, and that their altering between roles is clearly communicated to both students and colleagues.

The Effect Of Conceptual Change Approach On Students&amp / #8217 / Understanding Of Solubility Equilibrium Concept

Onder, Ismail 01 June 2006 (has links) (PDF)
The main purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of instructions one based on conceptual change approach and the other based on traditional chemistry instruction on tenth grade high school students&amp / #8217 / understanding of solubility equilibrium concept. In addition, students&amp / #8217 / attitudes toward chemistry as a school subject and toward conceptual change texts were investigated. Moreover, students&amp / #8217 / science process skills were also investigated. 125 tenth grade students from four classes of a chemistry course taught by three teachers in Kocatepe Mimar Kemal High School in 2004-2005 spring semesters were enrolled in the study. Quasi-experimental research design where intact groups were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups, was applied since it was difficult to arrange students randomly to experimental and control groups. Students in experimental group instructed by conceptual change approach in which conceptual change texts were used. On the other hand, in control group students were instructed by traditionally designed chemistry instruction. Solution concept test was administered as a pre test before the study to all groups. In addition, science process skill test and attitude scale toward chemistry as a school subject were also administered to students before the study. Solubility equilibrium concept test was administered as a post test to all groups. Moreover, each group also received attitude scale toward chemistry after the treatment and the students in experimental group also received attitude scale toward conceptual change texts after the treatment. The hypotheses were tested by using correlation analysis, t-test, ANOVA and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The results indicated that instruction based on conceptual change approach caused significantly better acquisition of concepts related to solubility equilibrium than the traditionally designed chemistry instruction. In addition, no significant difference was found between experimental group and control group students with respect to attitudes toward chemistry as a school subject. However, significant mean difference was found between male and female students with respect to both their attitudes toward chemistry and their attitudes toward CCTs. Moreover, no relationship was obtained between attitudes toward CCTs and understanding of solubility equilibrium concept. In addition, students&amp / #8217 / science process skills and prior achievements were strong predictor of understanding of concepts related to solubility equilibrium. On the other hand, no significant effect of interaction between gender difference and treatment with respect to both students&amp / #8217 / understanding of solubility equilibrium concept and their attitudes toward chemistry as a school subject was found. Results obtained revealed that students have several misconceptions that hinder learning, related to solubility equilibrium concept. Therefore, it is important to find ways for remediation of those misconceptions. Therefore, the effectiveness of instruction based on CCA in which CCTs were used in this study on remediation of misconceptions and enhancing understanding of solubility equilibrium concept compared to instruction based on traditional methods was investigated and instruction based on CCA was found more effective.

The Effect Of Explicit Method Of Problem Solving Accompanied With Analogies On Understanding Of Mole Concept

Unlu, Yalcin 01 September 2006 (has links) (PDF)
ABSTRACT THE EFFECT OF EXPLICIT METHOD OF PROBLEM SOLVING ACCOMPANIED WITH ANALOGIES ON UNDERSTANDING OF MOLE CONCEPT &Uuml / NL&Uuml / , Yal&ccedil / in M.S., Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education Supervisor: Prof. Dr. &Ouml / mer GEBAN September 2006, 56 pages The aim of this thesis was to analyse the effectiveness of explicit method of problem solving accompanied with analogy instruction over traditionally designed chemistry introduction on understanding of mole concept and attitude toward chemistry as a school subject. Participants for this research consisted of 53 students at ninth grade level from two classes taught by the same teacher in Atat&uuml / rk Anadolu Lycee. The study was carried out during the second semester in the 2004-2005 school year. During the treatment, students in the experimental group were instructed with explicit method of problem solving accompanied with analogies. Students in the control group studied only with traditionally designed chemistry instruction. Both groups were administered Mole Concept Achievement Test and Attitude Scale toward Chemistry as a School Subject as pre-tests and post-tests. To analyse the data, statistical techniques paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test were used in this study. Statistical analyses were carried out by using the SPSS 10.0. Results of the study showed that explicit method of problem solving accompanied with analogy instruction caused a significantly better acquisition of scientific conception related to mole concept but produced no significant positive attitudes toward chemistry as a school subject than the traditionally designed chemistry instruction.
