This object is formed by the convergence of two thematic axs, the formation of teachers and the digital inclusion track school environment. Whereas access to technologies is not a sufficient condition for the reduction of social inequalities, the formation of teachers for the use of the so-called educational laptops arises as a fundamental aspect of PROUCA. This observation inspires the central question of this research: those formative process teachers are in schools covered by PROUCA in Goiás? On the basis of the principles of historical materialismdialectic, according to the proposed by Marx and Engels, the formative process of the teachers for the digital inclusion that occurred in the process of implantation of PROUCA in Goiás is taken as a special feature that is part of the whole that it reflects: relations material and ideological of a particular historical time. The general objective was to explain the formative processes teachers aiming to digital inclusion, track school environment, schools covered by PROUCA, in Tennessee. The research is exploratory and was performed by means of documentary analysis and field research involving the nine schools of the state of Goiás covered by the Program. It occurred between the years of 2011 and 2014, involving 55 teachers. For the treatment of the issue of digital inclusion track school environment, we highlight the contradiction to clarify the consequences of inclusion, as mere opposition to digital exclusion and social. As regards the formative processes teachers, the principle of alienation in was useful to clarify that the instrumental model adopted indicates much more adaptation of individuals to the demands of the neoliberal economy than a stand-alone formation, as it would be the foundation of action intentional teaching. The formative model was as basic assumptions the fragmentation and the hierarchy, based on an instrumental rationality. For analysis, the textual corpus emerging from exploratory research was organized in three major areas: the fragmentation that characterizes the context of training, the fragility of the concept of digital exclusion and alienation that mark the instrumental training that occurs in the bulge of PROUCA. / Esta pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo a formação de professores para a inclusão digital via ambiente escolar no contexto do Programa Um Computador por Aluno (PROUCA). Tal objeto é constituído pela convergência de dois eixos temáticos, a formação de professores e a inclusão digital via ambiente escolar. Considerando que o acesso às tecnologias não é condição suficiente para a redução das desigualdades sociais, a formação dos professores para o uso dos chamados laptops educacionais se coloca como aspecto fundamental do PROUCA. Essa constatação inspira a questão central desta pesquisa: que processos formativos docentes verificam-se nas escolas contempladas pelo PROUCA em Goiás? Com base nos princípios do materialismo histórico-dialético, segundo o proposto por Marx e Engels, o processo formativo dos professores para a inclusão digital que ocorreu no processo de implantação do PROUCA em Goiás é tomado como uma particularidade que se constitui em parte da totalidade que aí se reflete: as relações materiais e ideológicas de um determinado tempo histórico. O objetivo geral foi explicar os processos formativos docentes visando à inclusão digital, via ambiente escolar, nas escolas contempladas pelo PROUCA, em Goiás. A pesquisa tem caráter exploratório e foi realizada por meio de análise documental e pesquisa de campo que envolveu as nove escolas do estado de Goiás contempladas pelo Programa. Ela ocorreu entre os anos de 2011 e 2014, envolvendo 55 docentes. Para o tratamento da questão da inclusão digital via ambiente escolar, destacamos a contradição para explicitar as consequências da adoção da inclusão, como mera oposição à exclusão digital e social. No que diz respeito aos processos formativos docentes, o princípio da alienação nos foi útil para esclarecer que o modelo instrumental adotado indica muito mais a adaptação dos indivíduos às demandas da economia neoliberal do que uma formação autônoma, como seria o fundamento da ação intencional docente. O modelo formativo teve como pressupostos básicos a fragmentação e a hierarquização, baseando-se em uma racionalidade instrumental. Para análise, o corpus textual emergente da pesquisa exploratória foi organizado em três grandes eixos: a fragmentação que caracteriza o contexto da formação, a fragilidade do conceito de exclusão digital e a alienação que marca a formação instrumental que ocorre no bojo do PROUCA.

Στα πλαίσια της εργασίας αυτής διαπραγματευθήκαμε κυρίως την έννοια της αυτοεκτίμησης και την επίδραση του κοινωνικο-οικονομικού επιπέδου της οικογένειας σε αυτήν. Για να γίνει περισσότερο αντιληπτή η έννοια της αυτοεκτίμησης, στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο της εργασίας γίνεται η αποσαφήνιση των όρων και αναφερόμαστε τόσο στην έννοια του εαυτού με τις αντίστοιχες ψυχολογικές προσεγγίσεις όσο και στην έννοια της αυτοαντίληψης. Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο εξετάζουμε την αυτοεκτίμηση ως έννοια στα πλαίσια τόσο της οικογένειας όσο και της κοινωνίας και του σχολικού περιβάλλοντος. Τέλος επιλέξαμε την διεξαγωγή μιας ποιοτικής έρευνας με ημιδομημένη συνέντευξη και συμμετοχή τεσσάρων εκπαιδευτικών (δασκάλων) για την αποσαφήνιση και επιβεβαίωση / ανάπτυξη της θεωρίας. Στις συνεντεύξεις αυτές οι εκπαιδευτικοί δίνουν μια ενδεικτική εικόνα των αιτιών της χαμηλής αυτοεκτίμησης σε Έλληνες και αλλοδαπούς μαθητές και παρουσιάζουν την επίδραση της μετάβασης στο σχολικό περιβάλλον, του κοινωνικο-οικονομικού επιπέδου και της κοινωνικής αναγνώρισης που επιζητούν οι μαθητές. / In the context of this work we mainly negotiated the significance of self-estimation and the effect of the socio-economic status of the family in this. In order to make more perceptible the significance of self-estimation, in the second chapter of this work we make the clarification of terms and refer to the significance of self with the corresponding psychological approaches as much as in the significance of self-conception. In the third chapter we examine the self-estimation as significance in the frames of family of what society and school environment. Finally we selected the conduct of qualitative research with semi-structured interview and attendance of four teachers of (schoolteachers) for the clarification and confirmation/growth of theory. In the interviews these teachers give a indicative picture of causes of low self-estimation in Greek and foreign students and they present the effect of passage in the school environment, socio-economic status and social recognition that the students seek.

The school environment is often the focus of healthy eating and physical activity policies intended to address childhood obesity. However, students are usually excluded from the development and implementation of such policies. The purpose of this study was to explore grade nine student perspectives regarding: supports and barriers to healthy eating and physical activity at school; strategies for improving the school nutrition and physical activity environments; and potential student contribution to the development, implementation, and evaluation of school-based policies. A qualitative approach utilizing focus groups and photovoice with 30 students from two schools in southern Alberta was used to collect data. Major themes included: access to healthy food choices; teacher influences; peer influences; access to physical activity opportunities; impact of marketing; and conflicting messages. Students can provide valuable insights to policy development, implementation and evaluation. Implications for future research and policy development are reviewed. / xi, 179 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm

The thesis examines physical activities in a primary school both inside and outside of the classroom. In several randomly selected schools, I watched how many hours a day the pupils spend time moving while learning and taking breaks. Research has shown that pupils keep the activity at a minimum in school, mostly only to scheduled moves. My endeavour was to propose ways to enrich the school day by physical activity. Based on this finding, in a selected school, I conducted an experiment that was supposed to bring more physical activity into classes and during school breaks. Whether the active time spent in the school environment managed to increase through the new proposition, shows the results of the experiment. Part of this work are practical ideas for implementation of physical activities into the classroom, and tips for classrooms and school corridors equipment.
