This perspective confirms that the educational practice to develop in a way that people with or without disabilities, to appropriate cultural legacy, namely the systematized knowledge offered in the school. The education that breaks the restrictions to be offered, appears in this work the theoretical contributions of authors such as Karl Marx, Dermeval Saviani and Newton Duarte. At the unveiling of the reflections, other authors have been invited to the debate, helping to establish the possibility of education for all, without restrictions or additions to this or that social group. Through documents issued by the Regional Education Center, there was 60 students with intellectual disabilities enrolled in the final years of primary education in the state schools of Cascavel-PR. For the field research, we selected the two schools with the most students in these conditions, totaling 22 participants in this study. This study aimed to answer the following questions: Students with Intellectual Disabilities would be appropriating the Portuguese Language in Elementary Education Cascavel? Or only: being in school would be a "formal conquest" of "equality" for these guys? What is the concept of Intellectual Disability of Portuguese Language teachers who serves as the basis for work in the classroom regular education? What are the possibilities and limits of learning, punctuated by teachers of Portuguese, in working with students with Intellectual Disability? In order to come to the data related to these issues, the following procedures were used: questionnaire and interview for the Portuguese-speaking teachers of the two schools and an assessment tool of appropriation of teaching this discipline, for 22 participants, composed of four texts informative and theme endangered animals proposed for the answers were given individually and in writing. It was found through research that while there are limits, students with Intellectual Disabilities, are appropriating the Portuguese language teaching and these appropriations appear when expressed through reading and writing. / Este trabalho é resultado de pesquisa de campo, realizada em duas escolas da rede estadual, no município de Cascavel–PR e teve como objetivo investigar o desenvolvimento do aluno com Deficiência Intelectual, quanto à leitura e escrita, nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental, sobretudo, lançando nessa investigação um olhar para esse sujeito, contemplando-o não como produto de uma causalidade biológica, mas em sua totalidade, tal como o é, na concepção de Vygotski (1896-1934) na perspectiva da Psicologia Histórico-Cultural. Essa perspectiva corrobora para que a prática educativa se desenvolva de forma que as pessoas, com ou sem deficiências, se apropriem do legado cultural, a saber, do conhecimento sistematizado ofertado na escola. A educação que rompe com as restrições, ao ser ofertada, aparece neste trabalho nas contribuições teóricas de autores como Karl Marx, Dermeval Saviani e Newton Duarte. No desvelar das reflexões, outros autores foram sendo convidados ao debate, contribuindo para constatar a possibilidade de um ensino para todos, sem restrições ou acréscimos para este ou aquele grupo social. Por meio de documentos concedidos pelo Núcleo Regional de Ensino, constatou-se 60 alunos com Deficiência Intelectual matriculados, nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental, nas escolas estaduais de Cascavel-PR. Para a pesquisa de campo, selecionaram-se as duas escolas com maior número de alunos nessas condições, totalizando 22 participantes desta pesquisa. Objetivou-se responder as seguintes questões: Os alunos com Deficiência Intelectual estariam se apropriando da Língua Portuguesa no Ensino Fundamental de Cascavel? Ou apenas: estar na escola seria uma “conquista formal” de “igualdade” por esses sujeitos? Qual é a concepção de Deficiência Intelectual dos professores de Língua Portuguesa que serve de base para o trabalho em sala de aula do ensino regular? Quais as possibilidades e os limites de aprendizagem, pontuados por professores de Língua Portuguesa, no trabalho com alunos com Deficiência Intelectual? Para que se chegasse aos dados referentes a essas questões, foram utilizados os seguintes procedimentos: questionário e entrevista para as professoras de Língua Portuguesa das duas escolas e um instrumento de avaliação da apropriação do ensino dessa disciplina, para os 22 participantes, composto por quatro textos informativos e com a temática Animais em extinção, propostos para que as respostas fossem dadas individualmente e por escrito. Constatou-se com a pesquisa que, embora haja limites, os alunos com Deficiência Intelectual, estão se apropriando do ensino de Língua Portuguesa e essas apropriações aparecem, quando se expressam por meio da leitura e da escrita.

Um dos principais desafios para as universidades que estão se lançando na EAD é buscar uma linguagem pedagógica apropriada à aprendizagem mediada pelas diversas mídias disponíveis. A ação da tutoria é um elemento essencial, sendo uma das determinantes do sucesso do curso. Neste novo modelo de educação os tutores desempenham mais o papel de facilitadores do que de especialistas, pois os cursos são menos estruturados e mais personalizados, cabendo aos próprios alunos cuidar de sua instrução. O controle sobre o andamento do curso, assim como o acompanhamento permanente do trabalho de professores, dos tutores, dos estagiários de atendimento e da secretaria, são igualmente cruciais, pois a interação com o aluno pode se dar de inúmeras formas e todas elas são essenciais ao sucesso da aprendizagem. A estruturação de uma equipe especializada, composta de pessoas que entendam de tecnologia e de pedagogia e, que trabalhem de forma coesa, podem garantir uma melhor performance da aprendizagem do aluno. O principal objetivo desta tese é criar um modelo conceitual de análise para identificar como as tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC) estão sendo utilizadas nos processos educacionais nos cursos a distância nas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) no Brasil. Com base nos dados obtidos através de pesquisa, efetuar uma análise comparativa a fim de identificar grupos que possuam características similares tanto relacionados aos projetos pedagógicos de seus cursos, quanto aos materiais utilizados, a estruturação dos cursos, formas de interação aluno/professor, suporte ao aluno, público-alvo, tecnologias utilizadas e sistemas de avaliação adotados. / The analysis of the different methodologies of education adopted by the leading universities in their distance education courses may instigate the interest of the professors involved with distance education, in the process of choosing the methodology that better assists the students who cannot or prefer not coming to campus. For the universities that are introducing courses in the distance education one of the main challenges is to seek for the appropriate pedagogical language of learning carried on by multiple media available. The tutorship action is essential, being conclusive to the courses success. In this new model of education, the tutors act as a facilitator of the course rather than an specialized professor, because these courses are structurally less organized but focused on personalization, considering that the students are the responsible ones for taking care of its education. The permanent control and attendance held by the general coordination of the course on its professors, tutors, trainees and secretary office are likely crucial, since the integration with each student may take place in several ways, all of them being essential for the learning success. The organization of a specialized group of persons engaged in the joint work, consisting of people specialized in technology and pedagogy that can perform their work harmoniously, may guarantee the better learning performance by the students as well. The main goal of this thesis is to create a conceptual model of analysis to identify how the information technologies and communication is being used in the distance education courses offered by high education institutions in Brazil (hereinafter called “IES”). With the data gotten through research the objective is to present a comparative analysis capable to identify the interaction ways and support given to alike students among the universities, in other words, groups that have similar characteristics with respect to the pedagogical projects of its courses, its materials, courses structure, ways of interaction between professor and student, students attendance, public, adopted technologies and valuation systems as well.

The purpose of the study was to assess Challenges of and Opportunities for Implementing the School improvement Programme in the Public secondary Schools of Iluababor administrative zone in Ethiopia. In the study a mixed research methodology was employed, specifically the sequential explanatory designs with a high priority on the quantitative and the sequential exploratory design and with less priority on the qualitative data. Out of 24 secondary schools, 12 secondary schools were selected by random sampling from six geographically clustered secondary schools. In the study (out of a total of 540 sample populations, 287 research participants were selected by random sampling/lottery method, 220 male and 67 female) were participated to fill the questionnaires. For interviews from six clusters (12 school principals, 12 district education experts, six secondary supervisors and four zone education experts) were selected by purposeful sampling to participate in the interviews sessions. Whereas, for focus group discussions ( 21 parent teachers‟ association (PTA) members; and 21 members of student councils) were as well selected by the purposeful sampling technique from three clustered geographical locations of the schools respectively. The collected data was analysed using statistical programme for social science software (SPSS) version 21. To analyse the data from questionnaires, descriptive statistical analysis like frequencies, percentile, mean values, and standard deviation were used. While, qualitative data generated from interviews, focus group discussions and document analysis were transcribed, coded and interpreted thematically. The findings indicated that with regards to the quantitative data analysis, the performances of the school improvement programme aggregate of the four domains summary of the mean values and standard deviations 287 (Mean = 2.82; SD = 0.74) showed that the indicators of practices among the school improvement programme domains were low in performance. The qualitative results as well confirmed the quantitative results. In this case, the mean value was above average and the standard deviation value was more tightly clustered around the mean. This means that the results were concurrent of each other and thus reliable. The findings revealed that, even though secondary schools put a lot of effort towards averting the challenges in school improvement, it could hardly bear fruit due to insufficient supplies of inputs and processes. This resulted in the school improvement programme performances lagging behind the set goals and targets. Additionally, the findings indicated that the major challenges in the implementation of the school improvement programme in secondary schools (9-10) were: weak collaboration among stakeholders, lack of capacity building, inefficient administrative services, limited commitment of school leadership and school governing bodies, poor school leadership and management, passive and inactive involvement of parents and local community, and, in the academic affairs, students were not successful in terms of attendance and the achievement of learners. Based on the findings, it is recommended that school principals, teachers, administrative staff, students, parents and local school communities be well equipped with basic knowledge and skills on the school improvement programme. This could help in fostering critical thinking and the problem solving capacity of the learners. In addition, school principals and the school governing bodies have to apply the recommended strategies in the study so as to alleviate the challenges in (grades 9-10) secondary schools. Above and beyond, the study suggested that in order to get better learners achievement, a strong team spirit should be established among school principals, secondary school supervisors, teachers, students, parents and local communities, and by expanding capacity building networks within the coming five years. Consequently, the schools management teams and other stakeholders of secondary schools (9-10) have to plan for continuous training and orientation on the nature, practice and significance of school improvement programme implementation. / Educational Leadership and Management / D.

This subject is not considered as the product of a biological causality, but in its totality, as it is, in L. S. Vygotsky's (1896-1934) conception. This perspective allows an educational practice that contributes to the appropriation of culture by people, with or without disabilities, that is, of the systematized knowledge offered in the school. Other authors were invited to the debate, contributing to ratify the possibility of a teaching for all, without restrictions or additions to this or that social group. Through contact with the Municipal Department of Education and the schools of the municipal public network, 43 students with ASD enrolled in the initial years of Elementary School I, were found. For the field research, the teachers of the schools with the highest number of students were interviewed individually, with a total of 31 participants, corresponding to the 16 Teachers of Pedagogical Support (TPS) and the 15 teachers who attend these students in regular classes of teaching. The objective was to investigate how these teachers conceptualize the ASD and to reflect on the pedagogical process involving these students, contributing to deepen questions to be worked on teacher training. The analysis of the researches involving the students' learning process with ASD, developed between 2006-2016, in the Scielo and BDTD databases, is presented, synthesizing and classifying them according to their epistemological roots. Most of them are based on the behaviorist approach (22), three of them from the perspective of historical-cultural theory and one from the Piagetian perspective. We also present a brief synthesis of the conceptions of learning in these psychological currents, reaffirming the educational commitment backed by cultural historical theory. Posteriorly, the concept of ASD is presented and the conceptions of development and learning are taken from the perspective of historical-cultural psychology, which is used to analyze the data collected using Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2011). It was found that about 70% of the main teachers and 33% of the TPS´s teachers present difficulties in understanding the ASD, what hinders them from identifying the limits and the learning possibilities of these students. It is important that the teaching process enables students with and without ASD to appropriate scientific knowledge. To achieve this goal, among other demands, students need to be truly "seen". Otherwise, there is a risk of not meeting their educational needs, generating gaps in the schooling process due to the absence of adequate methodologies for the student to appropriate scientific knowledge for which the school is responsible. / Este trabalho é resultado de uma pesquisa de campo, realizada nas escolas da Rede Pública Municipal de Ensino de Cascavel–PR, e teve como objetivo buscar subsídios teóricos que auxiliem na reflexão acerca da importância da mediação pedagógica para a aprendizagem e o desenvolvimento de alunos com Transtorno do Espectro Autista/TEA, bem como compreender a relação existente entre a apropriação docente do conceito de Autismo e o processo pedagógico objetivando o desenvolvimento das funções psicológicas superiores. Considera-se esse sujeito, não como produto de uma causalidade biológica, mas em sua totalidade, tal como o é, na concepção de L. S. Vygotski (1896-1934). Essa perspectiva corrobora para que a prática educativa se desenvolva de forma que as pessoas, com ou sem deficiência, se apropriem do legado cultural, a saber, do conhecimento sistematizado ofertado na escola. Outros autores contribuíram para ratificar a possibilidade de um ensino para todos, sem restrições ou acréscimos para este ou aquele grupo social. Por meio do contato com a Secretaria Municipal de Educação e as escolas da rede pública municipal, constatou-se 43 alunos com TEA matriculados nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental I. Para a pesquisa de campo, entrevistaram-se individualmente os professores das escolas com maior número de alunos nessas condições, totalizando 31 participantes, que correspondem aos 16 Professores de Apoio Pedagógico (PAP) e aos 15 professores regentes que atendem esses alunos em classe regular de ensino. Objetivou-se investigar como esses professores conceituam o TEA e refletir o processo pedagógico envolvendo esses alunos, contribuindo para aprofundar questões a serem trabalhadas na formação docente. Apresenta-se, inicialmente, a análise das pesquisas envolvendo o processo de escolarização dos alunos com TEA, desenvolvidas entre 2006-2016, nas bases de dados Scielo e BDTD, sintetizando-as e classificando-as conforme suas raízes epistemológicas. Constatou-se que, em sua maioria, fundamentam-se na abordagem behaviorista (22), sendo três na perspectiva da teoria histórico-cultural e uma na perspectiva piagetiana. Apresenta-se, ainda, breve síntese das concepções de aprendizagem nessas correntes psicológicas, reafirmando o compromisso educacional respaldado na teoria Histórico Cultural. Posteriormente apresenta-se o conceito de TEA e retomam-se as concepções de desenvolvimento e aprendizagem, na perspectiva da Psicologia histórico-cultural, referencial para análise dos dados coletados, utilizando a Análise de Conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011). Constatou-se que, cerca de 70% dos professores regentes e 33% dos PAP, apresentam dificuldades em compreender o TEA, o que lhes prejudica identificar os limites e as possibilidades de aprendizagem desses alunos. É importante que o processo de ensino possibilite aos alunos com e sem TEA, a apropriação do conhecimento científico. Para atingir esse objetivo, entre outras demandas, os alunos precisam ser realmente “vistos”. Caso contrário, corre-se o risco de não atender às suas necessidades educacionais especiais, gerando lacunas no processo de escolarização pela ausência de metodologias adequadas para que o aluno se aproprie dos conhecimentos científicos, por cuja aprendizagem a escola é responsável.
