Desenvolvimento profissional docente: um estudo com professores enfermeiros universitários / Teacher professional development: a study with university nurse professor

Borba, Kátia Pereira de 19 December 2017 (has links)
Introdução: O professor enfermeiro é um profissional que tem um importante trabalho transversal na área do ensino de enfermagem. Exercendo a docência universitária, seu trabalho não se reduz ao campo didático-pedagógico, mas pressupõem ofícios com distintos ramos do saber, o que exige instrumentalização diversificada, com o objetivo de formar o profissional enfermeiro para o mundo do trabalho. Todavia, sob a hegemonia contemporânea da lógica neoliberalista, a formação do enfermeiro pode estar mais articulada ao mercado de trabalho, o que concebe um profissional proativo e flexível para a realização de multitarefas. Com o advento do neoliberalismo, a universidade pública tornou-se uma instituição de altíssimo grau de complexidade, um tipo sofisticado e diversificado de organização social, sendo a carreira docente compelida ao paradigma do produtivismo acadêmico. Mediante o interesse de estudar a formação docente e o exercício da docência no ensino de enfermagem de professores enfermeiros universitários atuantes em uma universidade pública e debruçando-se sobre as leituras científicas, compreendeu-se o termo formação docente sob uma visão ampliada, denominado nessa perspectiva desenvolvimento profissional docente (DPD). O DPD se constrói ao longo da carreira docente e pode ser influenciado pela instituição de ensino e contextos políticos. Considerando-se a influência da política neoliberalista sobre a universidade pública brasileira, partiu-se da premissa que o DPD de professores enfermeiros universitários tem profunda relação com o exercício da docência no ensino de enfermagem. Assim, essa pesquisa respondeu a seguinte questão: Como acontece o DPD de professores enfermeiros universitários atuantes em uma universidade pública? Objetivo: Analisar o desenvolvimento profissional docente de professores enfermeiros universitários atuantes em uma universidade pública. Percurso metodológico: Estudo de caso naturalístico, descritivo e exploratório de abordagem qualitativa, realizado junto à Universidade de São Paulo (USP), no curso de Bacharelado e Licenciatura em Enfermagem da Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto (EERP). Obtiveram-se dados de fontes primária e secundária. Para a fonte primária utilizou-se como instrumento de coleta de dados uma entrevista semiestruturada, e para a secundária a observação do trabalho docente e a consulta em documentos, os quais, o Curriculum lattes dos professores entrevistados, os planos de ensino das disciplinas ministradas por estes, e o projeto pedagógico do curso. As entrevistas e as observações do trabalho docente foram realizadas pela própria pesquisadora, entre os meses de setembro a dezembro de 2016. As observações aconteceram posteriormente à realização das entrevistas, mediante a técnica observação do tipo observador como participante, sendo descritas em um diário de campo, o que totalizou 200 horas de práticas pedagógicas observadas. A inclusão dos participantes no estudo caracterizou-se por amostragem intencional, obedecendo aos seguintes critérios: ser professor enfermeiro em Regime de Dedicação Integral a Docência e à Pesquisa; ter atuado ou estar atuando em alguma (s) das 23 disciplinas anuais ou semestrais que estavam sendo ofertadas para os graduandos do primeiro ao quinto ano do curso, no segundo semestre letivo do ano de 2016; e ter experiência na docência de no mínimo três anos. Os dados da entrevista semiestruturada foram organizados em quatro categorias temáticas, e analisados através da análise de conteúdo, na modalidade de análise temática. Na análise utilizou-se o referencial teórico de Carlos Marcelo García. A pesquisa somente aconteceu após aprovação por Comitê de Ética. A participação dos professores enfermeiros foi voluntária após aceitação e assinatura do termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido. Foi mantido o sigilo dos participantes e a garantia do anonimato quanto às informações adquiridas. Resultados, análise e discussão: A compreensão sobre as relações que envolvem o professor enfermeiro, e a universidade pública, o currículo, o ensino de enfermagem e a profissionalidade, possibilitaram analisar o desenvolvimento profissional docente desse grupo específico. Participaram da pesquisa 30 professores enfermeiros, com o predomínio de mulheres adultas, com tempo de formação acadêmica superior a 10 anos e experiência profissional na docência e na assistência de enfermagem há mais de cinco anos. A análise e discussão foram construídas em quatro categorias temáticas: A organização da universidade pública como elemento inerente ao desenvolvimento profissional docente; O currículo como elemento intrínseco ao desenvolvimento profissional docente; O desenvolvimento profissional docente de professores enfermeiros universitários, e as expectativas da profissão quanto as oportunidades de cursos de formação e carreira docente; e o desenvolvimento profissional docente de professores enfermeiros universitários, e as atividades acadêmicas e didáticas que envolvem o ensino de enfermagem. Compreendeu-se que os professores enfermeiros universitários entendem a função primordial da universidade pública como instituição social, contudo consentem com a sua função hegemônica contemporânea enquanto organização social, e percebem a sua estrutura física como elemento contribuinte para o DPD. Evidenciou-se o currículo do curso como elemento de instigação e divergências entre os professores, assim como, a necessidade de haver formação e o compartilhamento de discussões sobre o desenvolvimento do mesmo. Os professores enfermeiros envolvem-se com o processo de ensinar; exercem docência no ensino de enfermagem desempenhando suas práticas pedagógicas em instalações apropriadas; e têm dificuldades quanto à disponibilidade de tempo para preparar antecipadamente suas atividades de ensino. Apresentam discordância em relação à articulação entre projeto pedagógico, planos de ensino e o desenvolvimento de práticas pedagógicas; articulam o ensino, a pesquisa e a extensão; e demonstraram discrepâncias quanto ao uso de estratégias de ensino e de referenciais teóricos para fundamentar o preparo de suas práticas pedagógicas. Por fim, os professores enfermeiros compreendem o DPD como elemento que abarca a carreira docente e que influencia positivamente e negativamente sobre o exercício da docência no ensino de graduação em enfermagem, e apontam a necessidade de ter na universidade indicadores de avaliação, que incentivem a capacitação do professor na área do ensino. Considerações Finais: O desenvolvimento profissional docente de professores enfermeiros universitários pode exercer influência sobre o exercício da docência, beneficiando ou não o ensino de enfermagem. Espera-se com este estudo ter possibilitado reflexões sobre o exercício da docência de professores enfermeiros universitários mediante a perspectiva da visão ampliada da formação docente, assim como ter contribuído para modificações junto ao contexto do ensino de enfermagem. Em tempos de neoliberalismo recomenda-se ampliar o campo de discussão e pesquisa sobre o DPD, envolvendo a educação em enfermagem em universidades públicas / Introduction: The nurse professor is a professional with an important transversal job in nursing teaching. Besides being university professors, their work is not only didactic-pedagogical, but also in distinct positions in the realm of knowledge, what demands diversified instrumentation aiming to enable the professional nurse to work in the job market. Nevertheless, under the contemporaneous hegemony of neoliberal logic, the nurse formation is found more articulated to the job market, what conceives a proactive professional to multitask. With the advent of neo-liberalism, the public university became an extremely complex institution; a sophisticated and diversified social organization where the career in teaching is compelled to the paradigm of academic productivity. Owing to the interest in studying the teacher formation and teaching practice in nursing by university nurse professors working in a public university, and based on extensive scientific reading, the term teacher formation was better understood within a broader perspective as teacher professional development. The teacher professional development is built along with a career in teaching which can be influenced by the educational institution and political contexts. Considering the influence of neo-liberalist politics on the Brazilian public university, it was noted that the teacher professional development of university nurse professors has a deep relation with the teaching practice in nursing. Hence, this research answered the following question: How is the teacher professional development of university nurse professors working in a public university? Objective: Analyze the teacher professional development of university nurse professors working in a public university. Methodology: Study of a naturalistic case, descriptive and exploratory with a qualitative approach carried out along with São Paulo University (USP), in a nursing college course leading to a Bachelor of Education degree from Ribeirão Preto nursing school (EERP). Therefore, primary and secondary source data was obtained. For the primary source data collection a semi-structured interview was carried out, and for the secondary source data collection, teacher practice observation and documentation verification were chosen, which comprises the analysis of the Curriculum Lattes of the interviewed teachers, teaching practice plans of the ministered subjects and the pedagogical project of the course. The interviews and teacher practice observations were performed by the researcher between September and December 2016. The observations were posterior to the interviews by means of participant observer technique being depicted in a field diary, what totaled 200 hours of observed pedagogical practice. The participants\' inclusion in the study characterized by intentional sampling complied with the following criteria: being a nurse professor in Full Time Dedication Regime to the Teaching and Research; having worked or been working in one or some of the 23 annual or semi-annual disciplines which were being offered to the graduate students of the first and fifth year of the course in the second semester of the school year of 2016; having experience in teaching of at least three years. The semi-structured interview data was organized in four thematic categories and verified through content analysis in the thematic analysis modality. In the analysis, Carlos Marcelo Garcia\'s theoretical reference was used. The research was put into execution after the approval of the Ethics Committee. The nurse professors had a voluntary participation after acceptance and signature of the agreement term free and elucidated. Moreover, the secrecy of the applicants was maintained and the anonymity of the information gathered guaranteed. Result, analysis and discussion: The understanding about the relationship between the nurse professor and the public university, the curriculum, the teaching in nursing and professionalism permitted the analysis of the teacher professional development of this specific group. Thus, 30 nurse professors participated in the research with the preponderance of adult women, college graduated for over 10 years with professional experience in teaching and nursing assistance for over 5 years. The analysis and discussion were built in four thematic categories: - The organization of the public university as an inherent element to the teacher professional development; - The curriculum as an intrinsic element to the teacher professional development; - The teacher professional development of university nurse professors and the profession\'s expectations regarding graduation course opportunities and career in teaching; - The teacher professional development of university nurse professors and the didactic-academic activities that involve the teaching in nursing. It was inferred that the university nurse professors comprehend the primordial function of the public university as a social institution. Nonetheless, they consent with their contemporaneous hegemonic position while social organization, and perceive the university material structure as a contributing factor to the teacher professional development. In addition, the curriculum was noted as an instigating and diverging element among the professors, they felt the necessity of educating themselves and sharing ideas about its development. The nurse professors get involved in the teaching process, teach nursing executing their pedagogical practices in appropriate environments, but they have difficulty as for time availability to prepare their teaching activities beforehand. The group presents disagreement regarding articulation between pedagogical project, teaching plans and pedagogical practice development. Furthermore, they coordinate teaching, the research and extension, but demonstrate discrepancies concerning teaching strategy use and theoretical references to fundament their pedagogical practices. Lastly, the nurse professors understand the teacher professional development as an element that encompasses the teaching career and that influences positively or negatively the teacher practice in the nursing graduation. The group also utters the need of assessment indicators at the university which motivates the empowerment of the professor in the teaching area. Final Considerations: The teacher professional development of university nurse professors can influence the teaching practice, benefitting or not the nursing education. It is expected that this study has fomented reflections about the teaching practice of university nurse professors under a broader perspective of the teacher formation, as well as having contributed to modifications in the field of nursing teaching. In neo-liberalism times, it is recommended that the discussion field and the teacher professional development research be expanded involving nursing education in public universities

A escrita na formação continuada de professoras alfabetizadoras: práticas de autoria. / Writing practice as a potential tool for the development of authorship among alphabetizer teachers.

Almeida, Benedita de 10 August 2007 (has links)
O estudo trata de pesquisa colaborativa realizada durante um ano por dois pesquisadores universitários e um grupo de doze professores de uma escola do campo de Educação Infantil e Ensino Fundamental do sudoeste do Paraná, com a promoção de reuniões semanais para análise, discussão e estudo da prática pedagógica. O projeto de educação continuada de professores tomou a escrita sobre a prática como um importante recurso formador para a melhoria da prática e para o desenvolvimento profissional docente. Tal potencialidade é analisada com base nos pressupostos sócio-históricos da linguagem e desenvolvimento humano, de Vigotski, na perspectiva dialógica e enunciativa, de Bakhtin, e na concepção de escrita como trabalho, de Riolfi. Alguns princípios se destacaram na orientação da pesquisa. (1) O caráter simbólico cultural da escrita, cujo aprendizado desempenha papel fundamental no desenvolvimento sociocultural do sujeito, por atuar na atividade mental mediada e exigir operações analíticas complexas e mais conscientizadas; a atitude de controle e deliberação que sua especificidade de dirigir-se a um interlocutor ausente ou imaginário implica e a maior abstração e intelectualização dos motivos que a determinam (VIGOTSKI). (2) Dos estudos de Bakhtin, os conceitos de diálogo, polifonia, alteridade, exotopia, gêneros do discurso, constituição semiótica da consciência, tributários da interação verbal, contribuíram para a compreensão da escrita no vínculo com a subjetividade e a produção de conhecimento. (3) De Garrido; Garrido, Pimenta e Moura; Giovanni; Mizukami, o conceito de reflexão como orientação para os processos formativos e para o desenvolvimento profissional de professores, a integração do conhecimento teórico aos saberes e práticas docentes, a relevância do contexto sócio-político e da produção de conhecimentos e aprendizagens sobre a docência. À luz desses fundamentos, e direcionando o foco às quatro alfabetizadoras da escola, analisa-se um conjunto de escritas desencadeadas no desenvolvimento de um projeto pedagógico coletivo pela escola: atas, diários, relatos da prática, textos de análise e avaliação da experiência. A análise evidenciou o papel formador da escrita, a agregação de um elevado nível de refinamento intelectual e elaboração reflexiva, pelo efeito de retroação e compreensão que produz e que movimenta as subjetividades. A textualização escrita da prática, pela mudança do gênero de discurso, esforço analítico, inclusão da alteridade e efeitos de deslocamento, inseriu as professoras num patamar de recriação da experiência e de desenvolvimento da própria esfera da prática educativa. Entre os principais resultados deste estudo, constataram-se contribuições dos estudos da linguagem e das atividades de escrita para a formação de professores: desenvolvimento da autoria e de atitudes e competências investigativas; reconhecimento de aspectos sociopolíticos que enleiam as práticas pedagógicas; valorização da aproximação pessoal entre os membros do grupo; fortalecimento da identidade profissional; valorização do conhecimento; desenvolvimento do compromisso ético-político com o ensino; mudanças conceituais sobre a escrita e a prática pedagógica e melhoria da prática. As contribuições conceituais de Bakhtin e Vigotski, principalmente pelo papel que concedem ao outro e à linguagem na produção da autoria, evidenciaram-se como uma valiosa sustentação teórica à pesquisa colaborativa e ao desenvolvimento profissional docente. / Collaborative research carried out by two university researchers and a group of twelve teachers at a country school in the Southwest of the state of Paraná (Brazil), who used to meet once a week for discussion, analysis of teaching practices in order to improve teaching and learning during one year. The In Service Teacher Education Program designed for this study was based on the assumption that writing over one´s own practice is an important formative resource for the improvement of teaching practice. This approach was inspired by Vigostski´s socio-historical aspects of language and human development, Bakhtin´s dialogical and enunciative perspective and Riolfi´s conception of writing as work. Some principles highlighted the research orientation. (1)The symbolic and cultural character of writing, whose learning plays basic role in one\'s sociocultural development, by acting in the mediated mental activity and by demanding complex analytical operations such as control, deliberation, great abstraction and intellectualization required to direct the writing message to an absent or imaginary interlocutor (VIGOTSKI). (2)From Bakhtin´s studies the concepts of dialogue, polyphony, alterity, speech genders, formation of the semiotic conscience, verbal interaction, writing comprehension linked to subjectivity and knowledge creation. (3)From Garrido; Garrido, Pimenta and Moura; Giovanni; Mizukami the concept of reflection as orientation to the formative processes of teacher\'s professional development, the articulation of theoretical knowledge and teacher´s representations and practices, the relevancy of the sociopolitical context on the production of teaching and learning knowledge. In the light of these fundaments, and directing the focus towards four school alphabetizers, a set of writings was analyzed: dairies, stories of their professional lives, evaluation texts over the experience. The analysis revealed the construccionist role of writing, aggregating a higher level of intellectual refinement and reflexive elaboration, offering feedback and analytical understanding of their practices and putting subjectivity into motion. The exercise of writing over their own practices, through the shift of gender of speech and analytical effort, has inserted teachers in an experience of re-creation, developing the authorship of their teaching practices. Among the main results found by this study in teachers development we stressed: authorship and investigative attitudes; recognition of sociopolitical aspect on the pedagogical practice; proximity between the members of the group; appreciation of knowledge; sociopolitical commitment towards teaching and learning; conceptual changes about writing and pedagogical practice and the improvement of practice itself. Bakhtin´s and Vigotski´s conceptual framework, particularly those related to language authorship, turned out to be a powerful theoretical support to collaborative research and to teacher professional development.

La inserció professional dels docents novells. Anàlisi del procés de tutoria del programa Comencem bé

Serrats Gironella, Laura 29 January 2013 (has links)
Given the complexity of education today, becoming a teacher is not an easy task. In this context, professional development plays an essential role in order to maintain and improve both personal and professional skills (Friedman and Philips, 2001). It also represents an opportunity to react at educational dilemmas which frequently appear in the early years of teaching. In Catalunya, since the 2006 -2007 course, the Department of Education applies the induction program called Comencem Bé, addressed to substitute teachers during their first school year. Its objective is to help novice teachers to develop their profession. The theoretical framework states the concept and models of professional development, focusing on mentoring and induction programmes which enrich the teaching strategies of beginning teachers. Then, the practical framework consists of a research project about the teachers’ experience while mentoring at schools in Catalunya, which gives the approach of all the people involved in the programme / Davant la complexitat del context educatiu actual el repte d'iniciar-se en la professió docent no és fàcil. En aquest context, el desenvolupament professional esdevé un component essencial per mantenir i millorar les habilitats personals i professionals (Friedman i Philips, 2001) i una oportunitat per donar resposta als dilemes que s'accentuen en els primers anys d’exercici docent. A Catalunya, des del curs 2006-2007 s'aplica el programa d'inserció professional Comencem Bé, que té com objectiu ajudar el docent novell a desenvolupar la seva professió. En el marc teòric es concreta el concepte i models de desenvolupament professional centrant-se en el mentoring i els programes d'inducció a la docència. En el marc pràctic es presenta una investigació sobre el procés de tutoria del primer any d'experiència docent en centres de Catalunya, que aporta la percepció dels quatre agents que participen al programa: interins, tutors, inspecció educativa i equips directius

Martin, Noah James 22 October 2013 (has links)
This thesis document presents a case study of a professional development playbuilding process at a public elementary school located in Austin, Texas. The study argues that playbuilding is a form of participatory action arts-based research particularly when positioned within the professional development setting. This qualitative study uses a narrative thematic analysis of the playbuilding process and workshop performance to examine how reflective and reflexive practice is situated within playbuilding as professional development. The document concludes with a discussion of the limitations and transformative potential of playbuilding and argues for the creation of critical pedagogical professional learning communities for teachers in school settings. / text

Die rol van tegnologiekoördineerders in inligting– en kommunikasie tegnologie [kommunikasietegnologie] in Suid–Afrikaanse skole / Tarantal J.C.

Tarantal, Jacobus Cornelius January 2011 (has links)
Inligting en kommunikasietegnologie (IKT) vorm ‘n belangrike komponent van effektiewe onderrig en leer. Ten spyte van die gedokumenteerde voordele wat IKT vir onderrig en leer inhou, bly IKT–integrering in skole steeds gebrekkig. Die implementering van IKT om onderrig en leer oor ‘n wye reeks van leerareas te bevorder en uit te brei, blyk ‘n groot uitdaging by meeste skole te wees. Faktore soos fiskale verpligtinge, ruimtelike hindernisse, ondoeltreffende en gebrekkige infrastruktuur en swak koördinering ondermyn meeste pogings tot effektiewe en volhoubare IKT–gebruik. Onderwysers wat begin het om IKT in hul onderrigpraktyke toe te pas, verlang verskillende vorms van ondersteuning, insluitend die van tegniese en implementeringsondersteuning. Die SITES modules help om die pad na volhoubare IKT–gebruik in Suid–Afrika aan te dui deur die vernaamste studies plaaslik en internasionaal uiteen te sit, beste praktyke te beklemtoon en die noodsaaklikheid van tegnologiekoördineerders te bevestig. Die doel van die navorsing is gefokus op die rol wat die tegnologiekoördineerder vertolk in die implementering en benutting van IKT in Suid Afrikaanse skole. Hierdie inligting kan nuttig wees om huidige onderrig en leerpraktyke in oënskou te neem en om ingeligte besluite rakende effektiewe en volhoubare IKT–gebruik in onderrig en leer te neem. Die studie is gebaseer op die bevindinge van die derde SITES studie (SITES 2006), wat ‘n internasionale kwantitatiewe opname oor die pedagogiese praktyke en gebruike van IKT met betrekking tot die 21ste eeuse leervaardighede in skole. Die studie het ‘n SDA metodologie van die Suid Afrikaanse tegnologiekoördineerders gevolg. Aangesien Suid–Afrika aan al drie studies deelgeneem het kon uit die literatuur longitudinale tendense aangedui word met betrekking tot IKT–gebruik in Suid–Afrikaanse skole. Tydens die SDA is beskrywende statistiek uitgevoer en kruistabulerings bereken om betekenisvolle korrelasies tussen veranderlikes te bepaal. Alhoewel meeste tegnologiekoördineerders aangetoon het dat die gebruik van IKT relevant is binne hulle skole, is die vlak van IKT–gebruik binne vakverband besonder laag weens talle struikelblokke wat die gebruik van IKT in skole belemmer. Daar is ‘n beperkte hoeveelheid rekenaars en skootrekenaars beskikbaar per skool. By die meeste skole tree onderwysers op as tegnologiekoördineerders wat ook dan verantwoordelikheid aanvaar vir die instandhouding van die rekenaars. Die tegnologiekoördineerder se pligte en verantwoordelikheid bestaan hoofsaaklik uit die onderrig van ander vakke en relatief min tyd word gewy aan IKTkursusse vir leerders en onderwysers, en juis daarom is die formele rol wat die tegnologiekoördineerder vertolk betreklik laag. Hoewel onderwysers in die meeste skole optree as tegnologiekoördineerders, ontvang hulle kommerwekkend min professionele onderwysersontwikkeling (POO). Die studie toon aan dat onderwysers onvoldoende tegniese ondersteuning ontvang. Tegnologiekoördineerders het betreklik min periodes per week tot hul beskikking om IKT–ondersteuning aan te bied. Prakties betekenisvolle korrelasies tussen die gebruik van IKT in die onderrig en leer van leerareas hang af van die beskikbaarheid van IKT–toerusting. Die gebruik van IKT in die onderrig en leer van leerareas, is in ‘n sekere mate afhanklik van die beskikbaarheid van IKT ondersteuning vir meeste van die verskillende aktiwiteite wat by skole plaasvind. Vir effektiewe en volhoubare IKT–gebruik is dit belangrik dat die onderwysers tegniese– en POO ontvang en dit sal vereis dat die tegnologiekoördineerder ‘n meer prominente rol vervul in Suid Afrikaanse skole. Tegnologiekoördineerders speel ‘n toonaangewende rol in die koördinering, instandhouding, ondersteuning en bemagtiging van fasiliteite en gebruikers by onderwysinstellings. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

Die SITES modules help om die pad na volhoubare IKT–gebruik in Suid–Afrika aan te dui deur die vernaamste studies plaaslik en internasionaal uiteen te sit, beste praktyke te beklemtoon en die noodsaaklikheid van tegnologiekoördineerders te bevestig. Die doel van die navorsing is gefokus op die rol wat die tegnologiekoördineerder vertolk in die implementering en benutting van IKT in Suid Afrikaanse skole. Hierdie inligting kan nuttig wees om huidige onderrig en leerpraktyke in oënskou te neem en om ingeligte besluite rakende effektiewe en volhoubare IKT–gebruik in onderrig en leer te neem. Die studie is gebaseer op die bevindinge van die derde SITES studie (SITES 2006), wat ‘n internasionale kwantitatiewe opname oor die pedagogiese praktyke en gebruike van IKT met betrekking tot die 21ste eeuse leervaardighede in skole. Die studie het ‘n SDA metodologie van die Suid Afrikaanse tegnologiekoördineerders gevolg. Aangesien Suid–Afrika aan al drie studies deelgeneem het kon uit die literatuur longitudinale tendense aangedui word met betrekking tot IKT–gebruik in Suid–Afrikaanse skole. Tydens die SDA is beskrywende statistiek uitgevoer en kruistabulerings bereken om betekenisvolle korrelasies tussen veranderlikes te bepaal. Alhoewel meeste tegnologiekoördineerders aangetoon het dat die gebruik van IKT relevant is binne hulle skole, is die vlak van IKT–gebruik binne vakverband besonder laag weens talle struikelblokke wat die gebruik van IKT in skole belemmer. Daar is ‘n beperkte hoeveelheid rekenaars en skootrekenaars beskikbaar per skool. By die meeste skole tree onderwysers op as tegnologiekoördineerders wat ook dan verantwoordelikheid aanvaar vir die instandhouding van die rekenaars. Die tegnologiekoördineerder se pligte en verantwoordelikheid bestaan hoofsaaklik uit die onderrig van ander vakke en relatief min tyd word gewy aan IKTkursusse vir leerders en onderwysers, en juis daarom is die formele rol wat die tegnologiekoördineerder vertolk betreklik laag. Hoewel onderwysers in die meeste skole optree as tegnologiekoördineerders, ontvang hulle kommerwekkend min professionele onderwysersontwikkeling (POO). Die studie toon aan dat onderwysers onvoldoende tegniese ondersteuning ontvang. Tegnologiekoördineerders het betreklik min periodes per week tot hul beskikking om IKT–ondersteuning aan te bied. Prakties betekenisvolle korrelasies tussen die gebruik van IKT in die onderrig en leer van leerareas hang af van die beskikbaarheid van IKT–toerusting. Die gebruik van IKT in die onderrig en leer van leerareas, is in ‘n sekere mate afhanklik van die beskikbaarheid van IKT ondersteuning vir meeste van die verskillende aktiwiteite wat by skole plaasvind. Vir effektiewe en volhoubare IKT–gebruik is dit belangrik dat die onderwysers tegniese– en POO ontvang en dit sal vereis dat die tegnologiekoördineerder ‘n meer prominente rol vervul in Suid Afrikaanse skole. Tegnologiekoördineerders speel ‘n toonaangewende rol in die koördinering, instandhouding, ondersteuning en bemagtiging van fasiliteite en gebruikers by onderwysinstellings. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

以英語為母語及非母語之國小英語教師協同教學在台之研究 / A study of a native and non-native speaker co-teaching program in Taiwanese elementary schools

何炳德, Herbert Peter Unknown Date (has links)
以英語為母語以及非英語為母語之教師,兩者間之協同教學國家級計劃,從1990年代開始在日本、韓國及香港各地執行。過去十年,台灣地區共有兩個相關計劃:一個位於中部某縣轄市;另一個則在北部地區,由該地方教育局與某知名學術基金會合作執行。關於這類的計畫,目前已有文獻探討執行上的困難,主要包括文化歧見、老師教學效能、與行政單位之運作問題,但其實卻並無整體評析之深入研究可供參考。 本研究遵循質化與量化的方法,針對北部之計畫為對象,深入評析中外師協同教學執行一年後之師生學習成效。研究首先以量化方式以成就測驗與態度問卷了解計畫中80名四年級與六年級小學生的英文學習成果、他們對英文的態度以及學習動機。另外又以訪談、課室觀察以及教學日記蒐集資料,分三組追蹤調查六位中外師之專業成長,藉衛考斯基的社會文化理論做分析,而文化體認方面,則以第三向度觀點,了解不同文化背景的老師之發展。 研究結果顯示此項中外師協同教學計劃對學生學習有正面作用,但程度則多有不同。學生之閱讀與聽力有成長,四年級學生受益又比六年級學生更多,但成果則因時間較短而稍顯淺薄。另一方面,中外教師在專業知識與文化體認上有顯著成長,可以說是本計畫最大受益者。 整體而言,計畫單位對中外師雙方合作關係之培養具備完善的機制,而在文化體認方面又有一群能夠以持平立場看待文化差距的諮詢專家,為中外師創造第三向度合作空間,使雙方能夠大方擁抱兩種文化且無需掩飾彼此之不同。這些設計使計劃更有效能,整體執行方式具參考價值。 / National co-teacher programs involving native English speaker teachers (NESTs) and non-native English speaker teachers (NNESTs) have been in operation since the 1990’s in Japan, Korea and Hong Kong. Two major programs have been established in Taiwan in the last ten years, one by a city government in the central part of Taiwan, the other by the education bureau of a rural county in the north, in collaboration with a well known academic exchange foundation. The cultural, pedagogical and administrative challenges such schemes face are well documented but there has been little evaluation of the benefits for stakeholders This study focused on the program in northern Taiwan and followed a mixed methods approach in order to trace learning gains from co-teaching for teachers and students over the course of one year. Students’ gains in English proficiency and changes in attitude and motivation were measured in a quantitative study involving over 80 4th and 6th grade students who were tested and surveyed. A triple case study investigated growth in professional knowledge and cultural awareness in three teaching pairs through interviews, class observation and teacher journals. Teacher learning was studied through the prism of socio-cultural theory and growth in cultural awareness from the perspective of thirdness. The program was found to have a positive effect on students, but in varying degrees. Student scores in both reading and listening proficiency improved while their attitudes and motivation were positive. Proficiency gains were greater among 4th graders than 6th graders, but the results also showed that for students, the impact of a one year program is relatively shallow. Teachers grew considerably in both professional knowledge and cultural awareness and were the greatest beneficiaries of the program. This study also found that the effectiveness of the program was facilitated by certain enabling mechanisms which nurtured the relationship between NESTs and NNESTs. Cultural awareness was facilitated by a culturally fair panel which helped create third spaces where teachers could embrace both cultures without hiding the differences between them.

台北市師鐸獎教師生涯發展及其影響因素之研究 / Career development & its influencing factors of the excellent teachers in Taipei

張永德, Chang, Yung Te Unknown Date (has links)
教育首重教師,而師資培育也是國內教育科系設立的首要目標,而培養優良教師更是其中最重要的目的,因此如何成為優良教師的知識學問其重要性自不待言。本研究乃環扣此一立意,初衷乃在探究如何成為師鐸獎教師的原因,以提供有志成為優良教師之人努力的方向。 本研究採用訪談法進行研究,研究對象為2010年台北市十位師鐸獎教師。由於師鐸獎教師的故事各有其多元繽紛的色彩,很難用一個固定模式加以齊一,但是從長遠的縱貫發展的觀點來看,仍然透露出各個階段的主要特徵。所以研究者從文獻探討中歸納出教師發展的三個階段:適應與建立能力、專業成長與發展、以及專業成熟,並以此為框架將師鐸獎教師們各自的精彩故事做為內容敘述,使得各階段的理論概念敘述得到生活實例的印證。再者,除了理論性的階段探討與故事敘述的印證外,本研究還以進入教職以後的「教師生涯發展」為主軸,另加入影響教師專業發展六個影響因素的內容為輔,鋪敘出九位師鐸獎教師的生涯發展故事,使得本研究不僅有理論概念的探討,也有具體可親活生生的故事呈現。 另外,師鐸獎教師為何能夠成為師鐸獎教師,本研究從「教師專業發展」的角度著手,藉由文獻探討歸納六個重要的影響因素:「家庭」、「高中以前的求學歷程」、「教育專業訓練」、「學校組織環境」、「在職成長」以及「個人特質」,並且從這六個因素去訪問師鐸獎教師們,並以師鐸獎教師的回答內容為基礎,再進一步的濃縮成概念性的內容。 最後,本研究以整體的角度為「師鐸獎教師的生涯發展」與「生涯發展的重要因素」主題做結論的總結如下: 一、 在六個影響因素當中,最重要的是盡心付出的個人特質; 二、 原生家庭父母親的身教影響深遠; 三、 小時候家庭環境的辛苦不一定有害,也可能成為未來的助益,關鍵乃在於正面的面對方式; 四、 「不反對」是婚姻家庭方面的基本支持; 五、 過去師長的言行態度是從事教職的重要參考; 六、 教育專業訓練對當事人主觀上的教育專業發展似乎意義不大; 七、 學校組織環境是累積能力的良好環境; 八、 教師專業成長從教學開始,進而充分發揮教師的角色功能; 九、 當事人的在職成長皆表現出不同於一般的具體投入行為; 十、 在職成長缺少有系統有組織的整體明確規劃; 十一、 積極正面的做事態度是很重要的個人特質; 最後,根據研究結果與討論提出關於成為優良教師的建議,乃分別從對教師個人、對學校、對教育政策,以及對未來研究四個方面進行條列式的建議。 / Teachers are the most important elements of teaching, and teacher cultivation is the most crucial task in the establishment of departments of education nationwide. The chief objective of all such institutions is to cultivate excellent teachers. Therefore, the importance of knowing how to become an excellent teacher goes without saying. The present study focuses on the above knowledge by exploring the experiences of teachers who have won the Teaching Excellence Award in order to provide examples for others striving to become excellent teachers. This study adopted the interview method and recruited ten teachers who won the Taipei City 2010 Teaching Excellence Award as participants. Due to the diverse nature of the stories of these award-winning teachers, it was hard to unify them into a single framework. However, when viewed from a more distant perspective, we are still able to make out the main features of the phases that these teachers went through. We were also able to identify three phases of teacher development based on a literature review: adaptation and establishment, professional growth and development, and professional maturity. These three main phases were then used as a framework to better understand the helpful stories of these award-winning teachers. The stories can in turn provide real life proof for the concept of each phase. In addition to discussing the theories related to these phases and proving them with actual examples, the current study also used “teaching career development” as a theme and incorporated six influencing factors relating to the professional development of teachers to illustrate the professional development stories of nine award-winning teachers. This research not only contains discussions on the theoretical concepts, but also presents specific, real-life stories. The reasons behind becoming a Teaching Excellence Award winning teacher are viewed from the “teaching professionalism development” perspective, and explored through the six important influencing factors identified via literature review, specifically, “family,” “the course of education prior to high school,” “educational professional training,” “school system and environment,” “professional growth,” and “personal features.” The award-winning teachers were interviewed with the above six factors in mind, and conceptual content was then further extracted through their answers. Lastly, the study used “the teaching career development of the Teaching Excellence Award winning teachers” and “the important factors influencing career development” as the overall perspective themes and concluded the following: 1. The most important factor among the six influencing factors is the personal feature of devoted effort; 2. The family-of-origin parenting effects are profound; 3. Hardships encountered during childhood are not necessarily detrimental and can even become beneficial in the future; the key lies within the way one directly confronts these hardships; 4. “Not objecting” is the most fundamental way of expressing support in married families; 5. The behaviors and attitudes of the teachers in the past are important references for teaching conduct; 6. Educational professional training seems relatively unimportant to the course of education professionalism development from the participants’ point of view; 7. The school system and environment is a good place to acquire and accumulate teaching abilities; 8. A teacher’s professional growth begins with teaching and expands to the full display of the teacher’s function and role; 9. The subjects showed exceptional activity in contributing to their own professional growth when compared to others; 10. Professional growth in general lacks clear overall systematic and organized planning; 11. Proactive and positive attitudes are very important personal features. In conclusion, based on research results and discussions, many helpful suggestions were made regarding the process of becoming an excellent teacher. Itemized suggestions for teachers, schools, education policies, and future research aspects were included.
