Examining Dual Language, Bilingual, and ESL Teachers’ Knowledge, Professional Development Experiences, and Perceptions About Second Language Programs In TexasFranco-Fuenmayor, Susana Elena 03 October 2013 (has links)
The rapid increase of the English Language Learner (ELL) student population in the United States and their continued lack of achievement means that research must focus on examining differences between the types of second language programs that are available in the U.S. to assist ELLs to learn a second language. The lack of research about teachers’ knowledge and perceptions along with professional development practices in second language programs indicates the need to improve teacher training. This dissertation includes two research studies that followed a mixed-methods approach. Study 1 was conducted with 225 Bilingual and English as Second Language (ESL) teachers in a large suburban school district. Study 2 included 335 Dual Language and ESL teachers from forty school districts in Texas.
Study 1 examined Bilingual and ESL teachers’ knowledge of research on bilingual programs, instructional issues for ELLs, general instructional strategies, and second language development amongst bilingual/ESL teachers who work in different language programs. Also, the study considered the professional development opportunities provided to teachers of ELLs. In addition, it examined teachers’ perceptions about administrators, program implementation, program features, school and community, and adequate training along with the degree of program satisfaction.
Study 2 investigated whether the program of instruction, grade level, years of experience, types of route to certification, and feelings of pre-service teacher preparation made a difference on Dual Language and ESL teachers’ knowledge and perceptions of second language programs. It also focused on the type of professional development that teachers receive and program strengths and challenges.
Findings from both studies indicated significant differences in regards to teachers’ knowledge and perceptions based on a number of variables examined. There were similarities and differences in regards to professional development experiences, program strengths and challenges. Findings indicated that a large number of teachers of ELLs are not receiving adequate training and that bilingual and Dual Language teachers know more than ESL teachers about research on bilingual programs and second language development. These findings have policy implications because they provide information about the type of knowledge and training that teachers are receiving and most importantly the deficits.

Diálogo escola-comunidade : reflexão sobre saberes e formação de professores /Ferreira, Regina Helena Penati Cardoso. January 2005 (has links)
Orientador: Yoshie Ussami Ferrari Leite / Banca: António Teodoro / Banca: Josefa Aparecida Gonçalves Grígoli / Este trabalho, de caráter qualitativo, investiga a questão da formação de professores a partir das demandas estabelecidas na atualidade por um novo conceito de sociedade e gestão democráticas, que aponta a necessária reorganização dos sistemas educacionais, na direção de uma maior participação da sociedade, como meio de construção de uma escola de qualidade para todos. A partir desse pressuposto, analisa-se a necessidade de as escolas buscarem o diálogo com a comunidade e as implicações desta tarefa para a organização da escola e para o trabalho dos professores, bem como a contribuição que a análise dos saberes constituídos e utilizados pelos educadores pode trazer para a reflexão em torno da formação de professores. Para realizar a investigação foram feitas observações, análises de documentos e entrevistas com gestores e professores, em uma escola da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Presidente Prudente, localizada em área de exclusão social, empenhada na tarefa de construir o diálogo escola-comunidade. O tratamento dos dados revelou uma escola que se reelabora a cada dia, num processo que constrói e reconstrói saberes, buscando edificar uma nova forma de ser e de se fazer educação coerente com uma sociedade democrática. Evidenciou-se que os educadores, na busca do diálogo com a comunidade, mobilizam diferentes saberes, destacando-se entre eles, aqueles ligados à compreensão das relações entre sociedade e educação, saberes que favorecem a construção de processos coletivos e participativos, e saberes que permitem relacionar diferentes formas de conhecimento. / This dissertation, of a qualitative nature, investigates the process of teachers qualification based on the current settled demands for a new conceit of democratic society and public management that indicates the necessary rearrangement of the educational systems in order to improve community partnership as a way of providing a high quality education for all. Starting with this postulation, we analyze how needful it is for the schools to establish a dialogue with the community as well as the consequences of this task into the school organization and the teachers' work. We also investigate in which way the analysis of the established knowledge used by the teachers can contribute to the debate about their qualification. To perform the investigation, we chose a municipal public elementary school located in a poor neighborhood in Presidente Prudente. There we found a group of professionals willing to improve the dialogue with the community. Their routine work was observed, school documents were analyzed, and interviews were fulfilled. The figures treatment revealed a school that is constantly trying to elaborate itself in a process of developing knowledge, looking for a new way of being and of making education coherent to a democratic society. It became evident that the school staff, trying to dialogue with the community, makes use of different kinds of knowledge, especially those related to the comprehension of how community and education are connected, that is, acquirements that favors the development of collective processes as well as the establishment of relations among the different kinds of knowledge. / Mestre

HELENA FERRARI TEIXEIRA: ENTRE SABERES E REPRESENTAÇÕESBrancher, Vantoir Roberto 16 March 2006 (has links)
This dissertation inserts itself in the line of "Formation, knowledge and professional Development" in the PPGE - Program of Post-Graduation in Education of the UFSM - Federal University of Saint Maria. In this work, I considered myself to know the knowledge and the representations, of Helena Ferrari Teixeira, councilman and operating teacher in the decade of 40, in the city of Saint Maria. To know and to analyze the History of Life of this singular teacher, of significant importance for the History of the Women in Brazil, the Education and the Politics had been some of the objectives of this research. To (re)construct its History, I used the Biographical Method Histories of Life, in the Verbal modality, basing itself, also, in other forms of documentation such as periodicals, photographs, depositions and other carried through research already. Of this inquiry, first, had resulted some interviews with the main personage and the collaborators, who had passed for an analytical work, to the light of theoretical referential in the thematic of Sort, memory, Verbal History, Knowledge etc. The (re)construction of the Life History of Helena Ferrari Teixeira, the first woman in Santa Maria in Legislature, was realized also, through interviews with five of its former-pupils. I found in the familiar and/or public archives a significant number of documents and photographs of the teacher, which minutely had been also systemized by me. My work was finished with the production of this composed dissertation for five chapters where, at a first moment, I present the ways that I covered for the arrival to the searched subject, later, I talk with some authors, demonstrating the reason of determined choices in the collection and analysis of the data and in the proper construction of the work. In the following chapter I pass through the quarrel of [re]construction of Histories of Life, having as collaborating and citizen-source people of the third age. And, the sequential chapters, I went deep in the History of Life, properly said, of Helena Ferrari Teixeira, composing this production through its own staffs and professionals. Being thus, I believe that to the look to the knowledge of the professors of a time provided to me to a new signification of other times and lived spaces and meanings for me today. From this, I believe that, looking at the daily knowledge of the professors can, and is, showing itself as one more excellent alternative in the production and/or new signification of the professors knowledge and practical. / Esta dissertação se insere na linha de Formação, Saberes e Desenvolvimento profissional no PPGE Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da UFSM Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Nesse trabalho, propus-me conhecer os saberes e as representações, de Helena Ferrari Teixeira, vereadora e professora atuante na década de 40, na cidade de Santa Maria. Conhecer e analisar a História de Vida desta professora singular, de significativa importância para a História das Mulheres no Brasil, na Educação e na Política foram alguns dos objetivos desta pesquisa. Para (re)construir sua História, utilizei o Método Biográfico Histórias de Vida, na modalidade Oral, alicerçando-se, também, em outras formas de documentação tais como jornais, fotografias, depoimentos e outras pesquisas já realizadas. Dessa investigação, primeiramente, resultaram algumas entrevistas com a personagem principal e com as colaboradoras, que passaram por um trabalho analítico, à luz de referenciais teóricos nas temáticas de Gênero, Memória, História Oral, Saberes etc. A (re)construção da História de Vida de Helena Ferrari Teixeira, a primeira mulher do Legislativo Santa-Mariense, foi realizada ainda, através de entrevistas com cinco de suas ex-alunas. Encontrei nos arquivos familiares e/ou públicos um número significativo de documentos e fotografias da professora, que também foram minuciosamente sistematizados por mim. Meu trabalho finalizou-se com a produção desta dissertação composta por cinco capítulos onde, num primeiro momento, apresento os caminhos que percorri para a chegada ao tema pesquisado, posteriormente, converso com alguns autores, demonstrando o porquê de determinadas escolhas na coleta e análise dos dados e na própria construção do trabalho. No capítulo seguinte perpasso pela discussão da [re]construção de Histórias de Vida, tendo como colaboradores e sujeitos-fonte pessoas da terceira idade. E, nos capítulos seqüentes, aprofundo a História de Vida, propriamente dita, de Helena Ferrari Teixeira, permeando essa produção através de seus saberes pessoais e profissionais. Sendo assim, acredito que ao olhar os saberes dos docentes de uma época proporcionou-me uma ressignificação de outros tempos e espaços vividos e significados por mim hoje. A partir disso, acredito que, olhar os saberes cotidianos dos professores pode e está se mostrando como mais uma alternativa relevante na produção e/ou ressignificação de saberes e práticas docentes.

TRAJETÓRIAS DE DUAS PROFESSORAS: FORMAÇÃO E SABERES DOCENTES / TRAJECTORY OF TWO TEACHERS: FORMATION AND TEACHERS KNOWLEDGECosta, Sharlene Marins 04 April 2008 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This investigation, which is linked to the research line Professional Formation, Knowledge and Development of the Post-Graduate Program in Education, was thought during my initial formation process, when I participated in the Study and Research Group about Initial and Continued Formation GEPFICA in which I had the opportunity of studying themes that guided me to think about such a proposal. My interests were directed to questions related to alphabetizing teachers practices and knowledge. In this way, when drawing this research, I had as an objective to analyze the life history of two alphabetizing teachers besides reflecting about what they have in relation to the alphabetizing and literacy processes. To the development of this investigation, I have selected to use a qualitative approach based on studies by Bogdan; Biklen (1994), considering the life history of two alphabetizing teachers, having as instruments of information collection some autobiographical writings and also semi-structured interviews. The investigation is based on three themes: Alphabetization and Literacy, Teacher Formation and Teachers Knowledge. In this way, I have used many references: Rizzo (1989), Cortesão (1991), Nóvoa (1992), Barbosa (1994), Freire (1985), Mortatti (2000, 2004), Antunes (2001, 2004), Tardif (2002), Frade (2007), Soares (2003). By the end of the work, it is possible to point out some conclusive notes about their knowledge in relation to alphabetizing and literacy. I perceive that in their teaching practices the teachers mobilize the constructed knowledge both in the initial and continued formation and that they bring to their experiences memories of teachers who have marked their trajectory and that in their daily actions they mobilize the knowledge of experience. In relation to concepts of alphabetization and literacy, I noticed that there is a lack in their formation, taking me to think that the teachers formation should be reviewed in order to search for an improvement of problems related to education practices, based only on experiences. / Esta investigação, vinculada a linha de pesquisa Formação, Saberes e Desenvolvimento Profissional, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da UFSM, passou a ser pensada ainda em meu processo de formação inicial, em que participava do Grupo de Estudo e Pesquisa Sobre Formação Inicial e Continuada GEPFICA em que tive a oportunidade de estudar temáticas que me levaram a pensar tal proposta. Minhas inquietações voltavam-se para questões relacionadas a práticas e saberes das professoras alfabetizadoras. Dessa forma, ao desenhar esta pesquisa, tive como objetivo analisar a história da formação de duas professoras alfabetizadoras e refletir sobre os saberes que elas têm em relação aos processos de alfabetização e letramento. Para o desenvolvimento da investigação, optei por utilizar uma abordagem qualitativa a partir dos estudos de Bogdan; Biklen (1994), baseada na história de vida de duas professoras alfabetizadoras, tendo como instrumentos de coleta de informações as escritas autobiográficas e as entrevistas semi-estruturadas. A investigação está fundamentada em três temáticas: Alfabetização e Letramento, Formação de Professores e Saberes Docentes. Para isso utilizei os referenciais de autores como Rizzo (1989), Cortesão (1991), Nóvoa (1992), Barbosa (1994), Freire (1985), Mortatti (2000, 2004), Antunes (2001, 2004), Tardif (2002), Frade (2007), Soares (2003). Ao final do trabalho, é possível apontar algumas notas conclusivas sobre os saberes que as professoras possuem sobre o alfabetizar e o letrar. Percebo que, em suas práticas educativas, as professoras mobilizam os saberes construídos tanto na formação inicial, quanto na continuada, e que as duas trazem para sua experiência, lembranças de professores que marcaram sua trajetória, e que no cotidiano de suas ações, mobilizam os saberes da experiência. A respeito dos conceitos de alfabetização e letramento, percebo existir uma lacuna na sua formação, levando a pensar que a formação de professores alfabetizadores deve ser revista para buscar a superação dos problemas referentes as práticas educativas, baseadas apenas na experiência, sem uma articulação com os conhecimentos construídos na formação vivenciados ao longo da trajetória docente.
