[pt] O processo de formação presbiteral é constituído por um itinerário que corresponde à vida do ministro sacerdotal desde o seu despertar vocacional até a conclusão de seus dias sobre a terra. Nesse percurso, encontram-se as etapas de formação inicial e permanente que se complementam, por se caracterizar como um processo que, além de unitário, é integral, enquanto inter-relaciona as dimensões humano afetiva, espiritual, pastoral e intelectual, do seminarista ao sacerdócio ministerial, num iter dinâmico, de modo a lhes favorecer o amadurecimento necessário para cumprir sua missão. O Seminário Arquidiocesano de São José do Rio de Janeiro possui um itinerário formativo elaborado a partir da Ratio Institutionis Sacerdotalis: O dom da vocação presbiteral, sobre o qual esta pesquisa se detém como o seu objeto material, elucidando a contribuição das etapas e das dimensões da formação para o desenvolvimento da antropologia da vocação presbiteral. Nesse sentido, a presente dissertação perpassa alguns autores patrísticos acerca da teologia e da práxis sacerdotal, os atuais desafios antropológicos para a formação presbiteral e o progressivo desenvolvimento humano e espiritual dos formandos ao longo do iter formativo. Distribuída em cinco partes, a pesquisa tem início, identificando a teologia do ministério presbiteral e seus traços antropológicos no testemunho patrístico da Didaqué, Clemente de Roma, Inácio de Antioquia, Policarpo de Esmirna, Papias de Hierápolis, Hermas, Barnabé e Justino de Roma, prosseguindo por meio dos aspectos unitários e integrais do processo de formação, em que são desenvolvidos os temas das dimensões da formação e das etapas formativas da pastoral vocacional, do seminário menor, do propedêutico, do discipulado, da configuração e da síntese. Os aspectos teológicos e antropológicos do processo formativo encerram a pesquisa, ressaltando os desafios para o desenvolvimento do formando e as propostas para a sua maturação humana e vocacional. / [en] The process of priestly formation is constituted by an itinerary that corresponds to a priest s life from his vocation awakening to the end of his days on Earth. In this path, there are the stages of initial and permanent formation that complement each other. This can be characterized as a process that besides being unitary is also wholesome insofar as it interrelates the affective, spiritual, pastoral, and intellectual human dimensions in a seminarian life up to the priesthood within a dynamic iter whose aim is to encourage him towards the necessary maturity to accomplish his mission. The Archdiocesan Seminary of Saint Joseph in Rio de Janeiro has a formative pathway based upon the Ratio Institutionis Sacerdotalis: The gift of the priestly vocation, in which this research focuses as its material object, elucidating the contribution of the stages and dimensions of formation towards the development of an anthropology of the priestly vocation. In this context, this present work runs through some patristic authors’ theologies and their related priestly praxis, the current anthropological challenges for priestly formation, as well as seminarians’ onward human and spiritual development throughout their formation iter. Divided in five parts, this research’s starting point describes priesthood theologies, and anthropological traits in the patristic testimony of Didache, Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp of Smyrna, Papias of Hierapolis, The Shepherd of Hermas, Barnabas, and Justin of Rome, undertaking the unitary and integral aspects of the formation process in which dimension elements of formation, vocation ministries formative stages, minor seminary, propaedeutic, discipleship, configuration and synthesis are developed. Theological and anthropological aspects of the formative process conclude this research as it highlights challenges regarding the development of the person being formed and proposals whose aims are human and vocation maturation.

The Jesus of history and the Christ of faith are two different figures. Two centuries of search for the historical Jesus has led to greater awareness and better use of New Testament criticism, had salutary effects on proper historical biblical research and the desire to look beyond the paucity of material about Jesus in the canonical gospels. Despite proven difficulties the historical Jesus is an endless enterprise eliciting an equally endless fascination. The solution to the Jesus mystery appears better linked to Paul who has never been subjected to the same degree of historical research as Jesus. The figure, character, preaching, and teaching of Jesus was fashioned by the gospel authors not just to fit in. with the primitive church but to provide a natural linkage with Pauline Christianity. Christian faith is only loosely intertwined with Jesus of Nazareth and has everything to do with the Christ de"-ised by Paul. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th.

Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / It is unknown if the Summer Seminar program, which gives rising high school seniors a six-day look at Naval Academy life, has resulted in a more successful midshipman. While not previously discussed in literature, there are an abundance of studies on civilian recruiting and orientation programs, as well as realistic job previews and expectation-lowering procedures. Based on this literature, it is theorized that Summer Seminar program participation will be positively correlated to increased graduation rates and increased academic cumulative quality point ratings, as well as increased military and physical performance. This hypothesis was tested using multiple hierarchical regressions on population data obtained from the Classes of 1997 through 2003. Success is defined using seven dependent variables organized by academic, military, and physical performance. The key independent variable is participation in the Summer Seminar program, while eleven other independent variables control for demographics, selection criteria, and proven indicators of success. Participation in the Summer Seminar program had a significant relation to increased graduation rates, increased academic cumulative quality point ratings, increased military cumulative quality point ratings, and increased physical readiness test scores. This study concludes that the Summer Seminar program makes a unique contribution to midshipman success at the Naval Academy. / Lieutenant, United States Navy

This is an explication of Lacan’s Seminar XVII. The introduction situates the Seminar in its time and in relation to other theories of discourse. In part one I examine the changes which it brings to a variety of ideas already known in Lacan’s oeuvre such as Jouissance, Master Signifier(s) and Oedipus. Part two looks the four discourses in detail after considering the positions common to each. I provide accounts of each discourse as taking place internally to a subject and between subjects. The coda examines areas where further research is possible, reviews and critiques some scholarship on this seminar and inquires into the use value of the discourse theory, both generally and as a means of getting beyond Lacan.

Denna uppsats tar sin utgångspunkt i frågeställningar som berör handledarens yrkeskunnande. Benämningen handledare syftar i detta fall på lärare som är VFU-handledare för lärarstudenter eller mentorer för nyutexaminerade lärare. VFU och introduktionsår för nya lärare befinner sig i gränsområdet mellan utbildning och yrkespraktik. Vilka är de kritiska punkterna i handledarrollen? Är det möjligt att följa en modell och vad fungerar i verkligheten? Vilka områden och frågeställningar är relevanta för blivande handledare? Hur kan man utbilda för att kunna hantera dessa områden? Det empiriska material som ingår i denna uppsats har bland annat arbetats fram med hjälp av dialogseminariemetoden. I linje med grundsynen inom forskningsämnet Yrkeskunnande och teknologi har exempel från praktisk yrkesverksamhet, både utifrån författarens egna och blivande handledares upplevelser, fått utgöra stommen i arbetet. Utöver konkreta exempel på dilemman i koppling till handledning beskrivs forskning inom handledningsområdet. Olika perspektiv på kunskap och yrkeskunnande är ytterligare en beståndsdel i arbetet. Avslutningsvis förs ett resonemang kring de kritiska punkterna i handledarrollen och hur man kan betrakta dem i koppling till olika perspektiv på kunskap samt hur denna relation påverkar möjligheten att utbilda yrkeskunniga handledare enligt ”en modell för verkligheten”. / This essay has its basis in issues concerning supervisors’ skills. The term supervisor, in this case, refers to teachers functioning as supervisors during teacher students’ placements or as mentors during the probationary year. What is the crucial point in the role of the supervisor? Is it possible to follow a model and what works in reality? What fields of interest and which questions are relevant for future supervisors? How can you educate these individuals so the will be able to handle such issues? The empirical material that is a part of this essay is a result of the dialogue seminar. According to the basic outlook of the research subject Skill and technology examples from practice is the foundation of this work. Beyond these practical examples of dilemmas in connection to supervision research in the field of supervision is described. Different perspectives of knowledge and skill are other components in this essay. Finally, a discussion about the crucial points in the role of the supervisor is conducted. It is illustrated how different perspectives of knowledge affects the possibility to educate skilled supervisors by using “a model for reality”.

Denna studie utgår ifrån ett sociokulturellt perspektiv på lärande och syftet med studien är att undersöka huruvida seminarier som arbets- och bedömningsform kan främja intresset för olika moment inom naturvetenskap i allmänhet och biologi i synnerhet, samt att undersöka huruvida seminarier även kan fungera som ett bra bedömningsverktyg.   De metoder som användes i studien var enkät och intervju. Studien utfördes i tre moment. Först genomfördes seminarier inom ämnet biologi i en årskurs 8. Därefter besvarades en enkät av ca. 60 elever från seminarieromgången. Slutligen genomfördes två gruppintervjuer, en med elever och en med lärare.    Resultaten visar att det verkar finnas en koppling mellan seminarieformen och ett ökat intresse, men att kopplingen endast går att göra till intresset för det specifika ämnesområde som tas upp under seminariet. Det är möjligt att detta i förlängningen kan leda till ökat intresse för biologi, men det skulle krävas ytterligare undersökningar för att ta reda på detta. Resultaten visar också att seminarier för vissa elever är en uppskattad bedömningsform och att lärarna tycker att den fungerar bra som komplement till skriftliga metoder.
