The purpose of the study was to determine the various levels on which the Progressive Education Association summer workshops have been conducted and to determine what fields of subject matter have been considered. In other words, an effort was made to determine how many of the workshops were designed for college or university teachers, secondary school teachers, elementary school teachers, administrators, or special groups, and what subject matter was considered for each group.

The purpose of this study is to explore experiences of professional growth for mid-career community college faculty. The research question that guided the study is: How do community college faculty members experience professional growth at mid- career? The research design included an interpretive social science methodology and phenomenological method. Nine mid-career community college faculty, identified as being engaged and active in their professional role, participated through in-depth interviews. Profiles of the participants in their own words were presented to reflect on their early career experiences, and themes were presented as they emerged from the data as participants talked about their experiences of professional growth. Themes emerged in the areas of: (1) experiences of professional growth; (2) how faculty made meaning of these experiences; and (3) how faculty experienced support for their growth. Faculty interviewed for this study were active in campus leadership and governance and in pursuing professional development opportunities. They demonstrated a high degree of engagement in student learning and improving instruction. They were thoughtful about their experiences, reflecting on diversity as one of the strengths of their institution and engaging in a self-reflective post-tenure process. They also experienced a high level of support from administrators and colleagues. By voicing the professional growth experiences of highly engaged faculty at an important career stage, this study offers implications for practice for faculty, administrators, and policy makers concerned with faculty, instructional, and organizational development. / Graduation date: 2013

This case study examined three listservs as follow-up activities for STARLINK® (State of Texas Academic Resources Link) satellite teleconferences for community college faculty development during the 1993-94 season. Purposes included determining through self report and other data: (a) appropriateness of listservs as follow-up activities for teleconferences, (b) if combining video satellite teleconferences with a listserv satisfied perceived needs, (c) purposes of accessing a listserv and if listservs facilitated changes in the performance of work, were supportive of teaching, and provided resources beyond teleconferences' content, (d) what aspects of listservs are helpful or not helpful to participants.

Members of the Instructional Teleconference Consortium (ITC) were mailed a survey instrument. A total list of 375 teleconference coordinators generated 137 usable responses. The purposes of this study of faculty and staff development presentations by teleconferencing were to determine the amount of usage; which subject areas are utilized; what delivery methods (live, interactive, prerecorded, multimedia, etc.) are utilized; barriers (size or location of college, size of teleconference or travel budget, etc.) to implementing teleconferences; and the sources of presentations utilized in teleconferences. Larger community colleges are the greater users of teleconferencing and even produce some for distribution to other community colleges, whereas smaller community colleges have just begun to receive equipment that enables them to receive telecasts for this purpose. No clear subject area has yet been defined that dominates these teleconferences, and the trend is toward two-way audio and one-way video as the delivery media as communication costs decline. Barriers of money for staff, equipment, and programming appear to be the principal objections to the use of teleconferencing for faculty and staff development presentations. There appear to be few sources of presentations except for the Public Broadcasting System (PBS).

Our questioning over practice and teaching theory has led us on the need of such reflection. We organized the text in three chapters. In the first chapter, initially, we will make a theoretical description of reading from the interactional perspective based on social and cognitive aspects; then we will elaborate an analysis about our current teaching situation on reading and at last we will reflect on the teacher s reading. So that we show the material used for the analysis, there is a description in the second chapter of the program of continuing graduation from the course books used in the program and questions aimed to the teachers. In the third chapter, we will reflect about two quotations presented in the course book, about the teacher s responses and about the reading concepts having in mind the interaction between such concepts and the mother language teachers. Our initial hypothesis that would explain the disarticulation between theory and practice, concerning how the theories came to the teachers, was partially confirmed / O objetivo desta dissertação é refletir sobre a relação entre professores e conceitos sobre leitura tratados em um curso de formação continuada. Nossos questionamentos sobre a articulação entre prática e teoria no fazer docente levaram-nos à necessidade de tal reflexão. Para isso, organizamos o texto em três capítulos: No primeiro, inicialmente, faremos uma descrição teórica da leitura a partir da perspectiva interacional ancorada em aspectos cognitivos e sociais; a seguir, elaboraremos uma análise sobre a nossa atual situação do ensino de leitura e, por último, refletiremos sobre a leitura do professor. No segundo capítulo, a fim de mostrarmos o material utilizado para análise, há uma descrição do curso de formação continuada, da apostila utilizada no curso e das questões direcionadas aos professores. No terceiro capítulo, refletiremos sobre duas citações presentes na apostila, sobre as respostas dos professores e sobre os conceitos de leitura, sem perder de vista a interação entre tais conceitos e os professores de língua materna. A desarticulação entre teoria e prática como conseqüência da maneira pela qual as teorias chegam aos professores, nossa hipótese inicial, foi parcialmente confirmada

In view of this perspective, the following research problem is established: Does teaching advice, as a school-centred training practice, contribute to the teacher education? In order to answer this question, it is defined as a general objective to investigate the contribution of teaching advice to the teacher education and to the teachers’ development of a private school located in the West Zone of São Paulo city. This study, developed on the basis of the content analysis theoretical references (BARDIN, 2011; FRANCO, 2012), uses the qualitative analysis of data collected in a focus group and in the application of two questionnaires designed respectively for teachers and teaching advisors, who are the research subjects. Considering the categories of analysis selected, the analysis of the data revealed that the teaching advice promotes support and safety to the professionals participating in it, triggering significant teacher education processes. However, it has been shown that this practice alone is not enough to consolidate such processes if it is not linked to a school project and to working conditions that benefit the career´s development of these professionals / Tendo em vista a complexidade da formação docente e o reconhecimento da relevância das condições objetivas de trabalho em que a docência se estabelece, vários estudos (CANÁRIO, 1994; 1998; ANDRÉ, 2016; ALMEIDA; PLACCO, 2013; GATTI, 2013a; IMBERNÓN, 2009; 2010a; 2010b) têm considerado a escola como local privilegiado de formação docente. Tendo em vista essa perspectiva, estabelece-se o seguinte problema da pesquisa: A assessoria pedagógica, como prática de formação centrada na escola, contribui para a formação docente? De forma a responder a esse questionamento, define-se como objetivo geral investigar a contribuição da assessoria pedagógica para a formação e o desenvolvimento de professores de uma escola particular situada na Zona Oeste da cidade de São Paulo. Este estudo, desenvolvido com base nos referenciais da análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011; FRANCO, 2012), vale-se da análise qualitativa de dados gerados por meio de grupo focal e da aplicação de dois questionários destinados, respectivamente, a professores e assessores pedagógicos, sujeitos da pesquisa. Considerando-se as categorias de análise selecionadas, a análise dos dados revelou que a assessoria pedagógica promove apoio e segurança aos profissionais que dela participam, desencadeando processos formativos significativos. No entanto, evidenciou-se que essa prática, por si só, não é suficiente para consolidar tais processos se não estiver aliada a um projeto de escola e a condições de trabalho que favoreçam o desenvolvimento da carreira desses profissionais

The study is founded on a critical, collaborative and reflexive perspective that, in creating collective spaces of exchanges and discussions, seeks to investigate the lived reality and its possibilities of reconstruction. With this focus, the professionals involved in the research are expected to discuss and seek answers to the day-to-day challenges of school through shared responsibility, commitment and improvement of the group. For this purpose, firstly a survey on the formative needs of the subjects involved was made and, later, a formative proposal in which the participants analyzed and discussed their challenges towards teacher education was elaborated. The Critical Collaborative Research (PCCol) (MAGALHÃES, 2004) methodologically bases this study once it discusses how the research course itself constitutes the possibility for all participants to learn in a more collaborative and interventional way. Data were produced by use of: 1. description of the activity context; 2. written evaluations; 3. pictures; and 4. audio recording, and analyzed with the support of the theoretical frame and the actions of critical reflection - describe, inform, confront and reconstruct (SMYTH, 1992). The results have pointed to the importance of creating spaces that provoke strangeness and continuous collective exchanges to expand the possibilities of intervention. This research can offer contributions in the elaboration of formative activities that may develop new ways of acting and thinking in the search for shared meanings to face the challenges that compose this process / A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a contribuição do processo formativo contínuo desenvolvido pelo Centro de Capacitação de Profissionais da Educação, em 2017, com coordenadores pedagógicos que atuam nas escolas do Ensino Fundamental II do município de São Caetano do Sul. O estudo está embasado na perspectiva crítica, colaborativa e reflexiva, que, ao criar espaços coletivos de trocas e discussões, busca investigar a realidade vivida e suas possibilidades de reconstrução. Com este foco, espera-se que os profissionais envolvidos na investigação discutam e procurem respostas para os desafios do dia a dia escolar por meio de responsabilidade compartilhada, comprometimento e aprimoramento do grupo. Para tanto, primeiramente foi feito um levantamento das necessidades formativas dos sujeitos envolvidos, e, posteriormente, elaborada uma proposta de formação em que os participantes analisaram e discutiram seus desafios frente à formação de professores. A Pesquisa Crítica de Colaboração (PCCol) (MAGALHÃES, 2004) fundamenta metodologicamente este estudo por discutir como o próprio percurso da investigação se constitui como possibilidade de todos os participantes aprenderem de forma mais colaborativa e interventiva. Os dados utilizados foram produzidos por meio de: 1. descrição da formação; 2. avaliações escritas; 3. fotos; e 4. audiogravações, e analisados com o apoio do referencial teórico e as ações da reflexão crítica – descrever, informar, confrontar e reconstruir (SMYTH, 1992). Os resultados apontam a importância da criação de espaços que provoquem estranhamentos e trocas coletivas contínuas para ampliar as possibilidades de intervenção. Esta pesquisa pode oferecer contribuições na elaboração de atividades formativas que possibilitem novas formas de pensar e agir dos participantes na busca de significados compartilhados para enfrentamento dos desafios que compõem esse processo

The study is based in the Socio-Historical-Cultural Activity Theory, which understands that the activities of life are spaces for the development of human relations. In this perspective, the development of the participants of a given context is produced in a dialectical process, though critical reflection and through the actions of the subjects while they transform their own reality. This research focused on the training space for teachers in the “Jornada Especial Integral de Formação” (Special Integral Training Workshop), and the participants were a group of twelve teachers, a pedagogical coordinator, a school principal, a teaching supervisor and this researcher, who is also a Physical Education teacher in a municipal school located in the southern region of São Paulo. The study was conducted under the light of the Critical Collaborative Research, as an intervention-investigation assisted by the theoretical framework of the Socio-Historical-Cultural Activity Theory. We analyzed: 1) the Political Pedagogical Project of the school, 2) audio-recorded semi-structured interviews carried out with six subjects and 3) the training space. The analyses were performed based on the four-action cycle proposed by Smyth (1992): describe, inform, confront and reconstruct. The results of the investigation allowed us to perceive the distance between the socio-historical-cultural context and the pedagogical practice of the school. With this, a critical-collaborative training plan was proposed, to be shared with the school and submitted to the supervisors of the regional Board of Education / Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar as relações entre as propostas formativas na Escola e seu contexto sócio-histórico-cultural para desenvolver uma proposta de formação crítico-colaborativa partindo das experiências vivenciadas pelos participantes da pesquisa. O estudo está fundamentado na Teoria da Atividade Sócio-Histórico-Cultural, que compreende as atividades da vida como espaços para desenvolvimento das relações humanas. Nessa perspectiva, o desenvolvimento dos participantes de um contexto é produzido no processo dialético, pela reflexão crítica e pelas ações dos sujeitos ao transformarem a própria realidade. Ao focalizar o espaço formativo dos professores na Jornada Especial Integral de Formação, o estudo teve como participantes um grupo de doze professores, um coordenador pedagógico, um diretor, uma supervisora de ensino e esta pesquisadora, também atuante como professora de Educação Física na escola municipal pesquisada, localizada na região da zona Sul de São Paulo. O estudo foi elaborado a partir da Pesquisa Crítica de Colaboração, como uma investigação de intervenção apoiada nas discussões da Teoria da Atividade Sócio-Histórico-Cultural. Neste estudo, foi feita a análise do documento do Projeto Político Pedagógico, de entrevistas semiestruturadas gravadas em áudio com seis sujeitos da pesquisa e da observação do espaço de formação. As análises foram realizadas com base no ciclo de quatro ações proposto por Smyth (1992): descrever, informar, confrontar e reconstruir. Com os resultados da investigação, foi percebido o distanciamento entre o contexto sócio-histórico-cultural e a prática pedagógica da escola. Com isso, foi proposto um plano de formação crítico-colaborativa a ser compartilhado com a escola e apresentado à supervisão da Diretoria de Educação da região

The development policy within this context is guided by the training suppositions of the Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa – PNAIC (National Pact for Literacy at the Right Age). To look into how continuing professional development can contribute to the change of teachers’ activity, the study proposes the analysis of aspects of the training route which may promote reflection and eventual change. It also investigates the action of the former as a mediator in the process of reconstructing and resignifying literacy teachers’ methods, as well as identifies whether there were changes in practice through continuing professional development offered and measured by the suppositions of PNAIC. The theoretical background deployed is composed by Freitas (2007), Placco and Souza (2015), Larrosa (2002), Almeida (2002) and Tardif (2014). The study was conducted at a municipal school of basic education in the region of São Mateus, East Zone of São Paulo. The subjects of the research are five literacy teachers who took part in the 2016’s continuing professional development program. The methodology is qualitative, with the objective of studying the contingencies of the subjects under actual working conditions. Data was collected through a questionnaire and individual and collective interviews, always semi-structured. The analysis of the data has revealed that continuing professional development will likely promote change of practices as long as the professional and formative trajectory of the teachers is taken as a starting point for the reflections, being teaching activity itself the object of study and investigation in the face of the proposition of a formative itinerary which favors meaningful experiences that affect the former and leads to looking for new pedagogical practices. For this purpose, the study has also confirmed that the development must establish dialogical processes which emphasize an active listening and an attentive look from the former towards the groups of teachers, breaking with the conceptual and pragmatic deconstruction discourse to promote the pragmatic resignification mediated by teachers’ trajectory discourse. The research has also testified that the practice as the object of study has fostered its approximation to the theoretical basis, which aroused, besides legitimating literacy teachers’ work, changes of teaching activity in the literacy period / A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar como a formação continuada docente pode contribuir para a reflexão e mudanças das práticas dos professores alfabetizadores da Rede Municipal de São Paulo. A política de formação desse contexto pauta-se nos pressupostos formativos do Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa – PNAIC. Para investigar como a formação continuada pode contribuir para a mudança das práticas docentes, o estudo propõe a análise dos elementos do itinerário formativo que podem promover a reflexão e a possível mudança. Analisa também a ação do formador como mediador no processo de reconstrução e ressignificação das práticas, além de verificar se houve indicadores de mudança das práticas a partir da formação continuada oferecida e mediada pelos pressupostos do Pnaic. As referências teóricas adotadas neste estudo são Freitas (2007), Placco e Souza (2015), Larrosa (2002), Almeida (2002) e Tardif (2014). O estudo foi realizado em uma unidade educacional municipal de ensino fundamental da região de São Mateus, zona leste da cidade de São Paulo no ciclo de alfabetização. Os sujeitos da pesquisa são cinco professoras alfabetizadoras que realizaram a formação continuada em contexto no ano de 2016. A metodologia de pesquisa é qualitativa com o objetivo de estudar as contingências dos sujeitos em condições reais de trabalho. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados foram utilizados o questionário, a entrevista individual e a entrevista coletiva, sempre semiestruturadas. A análise dos dados revelou que a formação continuada poderá promover a mudança das práticas quando o formador considerar a trajetória formativa e profissional dos professores como o ponto de partida das reflexões, sendo a própria prática docente o objeto de estudo e investigação diante da proposição de um itinerário formativo que privilegie as vivências de experiências significativas que afetem o docente e o levem a buscar novas práticas pedagógicas. Para tanto o estudo também comprovou que a formação deverá estabelecer processos dialógicos que privilegiem a escuta ativa e o olhar atento por parte do formador com o grupo de professores, rompendo com o discurso da desconstrução conceitual e pragmática para o discurso da ressignificação pragmática mediada pela própria trajetória docente. A pesquisa também comprovou que a prática como objeto de estudo promoveu sua aproximação com a fundamentação teórica o que permitiu, além da legitimação do trabalho dos professores alfabetizadores, a mudança das práticas docentes no ciclo de alfabetização

The research presented this problematization: how the school supervision may contribute to the formative needs of the school management of the kindergartens affiliated to the system. In order to develop this work, a qualitative approach was used with the aim to recognize through the narrative interview, with four subjects, two double of managers (Direction and Pedagogical Coordination), inspired in the theories of Josso (2004, 2007); Souza (2007); André (2008). The historical contextualization of the kindergartens in the city of São Paulo was supported by authors as Haddad, Campos and Rosemberg (1991), Sanches (2003), Kulmann Jr. (1998) and Franco (2012 and 2015). The comprehension about the meaning of the childhood was based on Arroyo (1994). In order to discuss the continuing education and the school management, the theoretical assumptions of Nóvoa (2002, 2007 and 2009), Garcia (1999), Souza and Placco (2015), Salmaso (2012), Rangel (1998), Possani (2012) and Libâneo (2001) were used. The analysis of the narratives was made from the needs, challenges and formative possibilities presented by the managers. This study resulted in markers to a formative proposal which, through an integrated schedule between the kindergarten, the pedagogical department of the Regional Education Directory and the School Supervision, contemplate the kindergartens’ scarce formation in order to overcome the challenges, therefore we highlight conceptions and intentions which need to be present in the formative proposal / O presente estudo teve por objetivo, compreender as necessidades, desafios e as possibilidades formativas da gestão nas creches conveniadas da Rede Municipal de Educação (RME) de São Paulo e propor indicativos, para formação dos gestores no papel da supervisão escolar, que colabore e qualifique as ações educativas construídas com bebês e crianças na Educação Infantil. A pesquisa apresentou a seguinte problematização: como a supervisão escolar pode contribuir com as necessidades formativas da gestão escolar das creches da rede conveniada. Para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, utilizou-se a abordagem qualitativa, com a finalidade de reconhecer por meio da entrevista narrativa as necessidades formativas de quatro sujeitos, duas duplas gestoras (Direção e Coordenação Pedagógica) inspiradas nas teorias de Josso (2004 2007); Souza (2007); André (2008). A contextualização histórica das creches no município de São Paulo, foi respaldada por autores como: Haddad, Campos e Rosemberg (1991); Sanches (2003); Kulmann Jr. (1998); e Franco (2012, 2015). Embasa a compreensão, acerca do significado da infância Arroyo (1994). Para discutir a formação continuada e a gestão escolar, a pesquisa fundamentou-se nos pressupostos teóricos de Nóvoa (2002, 2007, 2009); Garcia (1999); Souza e Placco (2015); Salmaso (2012); Rangel (1998); Possani (2012); e Libâneo (2001). A análise das entrevistas, foi realizada a partir das necessidades, desafios e possibilidades formativas, apresentadas pelas gestoras. Esse estudo resultou em indicativos para uma proposta formativa, que por meio de um calendário integrado entre a creche, o departamento pedagógico da Diretoria Regional de Educação e a Supervisão Escolar, que contemple a escassa formação das creches da rede conveniada. A garantia de momentos formativos permanentes; coletivos; reflexivos; e propositivos, com as equipes gestoras da creche é fundamental, para a superação dos desafios, sendo assim, destacamos concepções e intenções que precisam estar presentes na proposta formativa
