The study aims to analyze whether two selected teaching materials intended for Swedish 1 published in 2014 and 2015 reflects the gender equality in Gy11. The study consists of a quantitative analysis and a discourse analysis that focus on how often and in what way women and men are depicted in the teaching material. The analyzed teaching materials are the textbooks Svenska 1 – helt enkelt and Fixa språket 1. The result shows that both books are quantitatively equal since men and women get almost as much space in the text and the image. However, the genders are depicted in different ways and constitute the norm in separate areas. The textbooks can even be said to be  heteronormative. The result also shows that both textbooks raise gender equality issues, which should be seen as positive because education, according Gy11, should be characterized by a gender equality perspective.

English language learning materials take a central role in Swedish secondary schools. The curriculum in Sweden advocates for communicative language teaching where students are expected to produce language in various contexts without restriction. There is much prior research on different textbooks used in Sweden. However, there has been limited analysis of how well a textbook aligns with the curriculum in terms of compliance with CLT expectations particularly for productive skills. As CLT preaches free production, it is important for teachers to know which books to choose for their courses to successfully incorporate the material to improve their students’ productive skills in various contexts. This study analysed Focus on English 8 which consists of a textbook and a workbook to shed some light on to what degree this textbook follows the Swedish curriculum with a focus on CLT aspects. This was done by using a mixed methods content analysis by conducting both a quantitative and qualitative analysis. The quantitative analysis was done by counting the amount of controlled to uncontrolled exercises in the textbook and workbook. In contrast, the qualitative analysis focused on the scaffolding present in the production exercises. Results show that while the book adheres to the curriculum, the textbook and workbook by themselves do not sufficiently facilitate free production. Thus, several steps outside the teaching materials need to be taken to encourage students to freely produce the language.

Vi lever i ett allt mer globaliserat samhälle i vilket engelska språket används inom många olika sammanhang över stora delar av världen. Det är därför viktigt att både ha goda kunskaper i engelska språket och att utveckla en god interkulturell förståelse för att kunna samverka över, såväl som inom nationsgränserna. Även Lgr11 påpekar vikten av ett internationellt perspektiv i undervisningen. Enligt läroplanen ska eleverna ges förutsättningar att utveckla sin förmåga att reflektera över livsvillkor, samhällsfrågor och kulturella företeelser i olika sammanhang och delar av världen där engelska används. Det är dock problematiskt att definiera vad ”sammanhang och delar av världen där engelska används” innebär, detta är något som läromedelsförfattare och lärare måste tolka själva i utformningen av läromedlen och undervisningen. Syftet med denna studie är att analysera sex olika engelskläroböcker för årskurs 4-6 från två olika läroboksserier för att undersöka vilka engelskspråkiga länder som synliggörs och inkluderas i ”delar av världen där engelska används”, samt att undersöka om en mångsidig och nyanserad bild ges av de inkluderade länderna. Metoden för studien är huvudsakligen innehållsanalys men även diskursanalys. Studien är förankrad i de teoretiska begreppen engelska som världsspråk, det vidgade textbegreppet, monokulturell utbildning, hegemoni, interkulturell kompetens/förståelse, vithet samt intersektionalitet. Eftersom läromedel tenderar att ges en styrande roll i engelskundervisningen och inte längre kvalitetsgranskas av staten är det viktigt för lärare att kritiskt kunna granska och välja läroböcker. Utifrån analysen kan det konstateras att det endast är vissa engelskspråkiga länder: Storbritannien, USA och Australien, som ges betydande utrymme och synliggörs som engelskspråkiga i de analyserade läroböckerna. Engelskspråkiga länder som syns men ges betydligt mindre utrymme är Kanada, Nya Zealand och Irland medan Sydafrika inte ens nämns i någon av läroböckerna. Det ges inte heller en mångsidig och nyanserad bild av alla länderna i och med att en del länder endast nämns i vissa sammanhang. / We live in an increasingly globalized society in which the English language is used in many different contexts over large parts of the world. It is therefore important to have both a good knowledge of the English language and to develop a good intercultural understanding to collaborate across as well as within national borders. Even the current curriculum of 2011 (Lgr11) points out the importance of an international perspective in education. According to the curriculum, students should be given opportunities to develop their ability to reflect on the living conditions, social and cultural phenomena in different contexts and parts of the world where English is used. However, it is problematic to define what "contexts and areas of the world where English is used" means, this is something that authors of textbooks and teachers have to interpret themselves in the formation of teaching materials and teaching. The purpose of this study is to analyze six different English textbooks for grades 4-6 in Sweden from two textbook series to examine which English-speaking countries are made visible and are included in "parts of the world where English is used", as well as investigate whether a comprehensive and nuanced picture is given of the included countries. The method of study is essentially content analysis, but also discourse analysis. The study is grounded in the theoretical concepts of English as a world language, the expanded concept of text, monocultural education, hegemony, intercultural competence/understanding, whiteness and intersectionality. Since teaching materials tend to be given a governing role in English teaching and no longer quality audited by the state, it is important for teachers to critically examine and select textbooks. From the analysis it can be stated that only some English-speaking countries: UK, USA and Australia are given considerable space and visibility as English-speaking in the analyzed textbooks. English-speaking countries that are visible but are given much less space is Canada, New Zealand and Ireland, while South Africa is not even mentioned in any of the textbooks. Neither a comprehensive nor balanced picture of all the countries are given in the textbooks seeing that some countries are mentioned only in certain contexts.

Usage of a video at real-time Czech lessons (not distantly through YouTube) presents to students a very attractive way of learning a language and the socio- cultural competence quickly and entertainingly. The aim of this paper is to sum up findings of the specialized literature and to create special videos useable in foreign language classes of A0/A1 level based on those findings. The videos will be focused on development of sociocultural competence, the themes shall be following: 1.Lesson of the good manners in the Czech environment part 1. (formal X informal language) 2. Lesson of the good manners in the Czech environment part 2. ( Traveling with the Public transport, how to behave) 3. Holidays ( Christmas, Easter ) The empiric part of this thesis will be based on the hypothesis that using video in the classroom will make the acquisition of the sociocultural competence easier. The video materials will be shown in a couple of groups of student at the A0/A1 level while couple of group of other student will study without them. Those students shall get the competence through printed materials (for example books or materials prepared ad hoc by the teacher) and explanation of the teacher. There will also be prepared some supporting activities related to the videomaterials in order to confirm the...

Analysis of teaching materials in the field of music education for children 3 to 6 years and their use in practice The theoretical part of the paper summarizes the current knowledge about the concept of music education in kindergarten, describes the musical ability and position of musical activities in the Framework curriculum for pre-school education.

The first section contains the mapping of the current situation of teaching materials for preschool children. Research method was a questionnaire survey, which was determined by width and source of musical materials that teachers use in practice with preschool children. The second part is methodical and includes songbook in which the notation of specific songs that appear when working in nursery schools. Keywords music, musical development conditions, musical ability, musical activities and games, RVP PV, teaching materials

Diploma thesis deals with the content analysis of the only media education textbook, which was published in 2009. This textbook represents a teaching material for secondary school students in the Czech Republic. After the theoretical background of this topic and presentation of the curricular reform of the Czech educational systém in 2007, the work focuses on the content analysis and comparison of the textbook and recommended outputs of the Czech curricular framework. Moreover, it deals with improving core competencies of the students while teaching the media education. The didactic content of the textbook is the most concerned thing. For this kind of research the qualitative content analysis method has been chosen, using the Bloom's taxonomy of the educational goals (primarily a cognitive domain). The analysis deals with the tasks in the textbook, which are given to the students. The result of the research reflects the emphasis on memorizing data, moreover, it shows the trend of simple evaluation which do not consider the previous deeper analysis. This fact is consistent with the opinion of many other curriculum content critics in Czech schools.

Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på hur lärare beskriver högläsning och boksamtal i klassrummet i praktiken och hur dessa kan utveckla elevers språk. Syftet är även att undersöka hur lärare beskriver att de får med alla elever i boksamtal. För att uppnå studiens syfte har empiriskt material samlats in med utgångspunkt i Brymans (2011) förslag på kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Studien grundar sig på den sociokulturella teorin som redogör för att elever lär sig i samspel och genom kommunikation med andra. Slutsatsen utifrån studiens resultat är att lärare beskriver att högläsning och boksamtal har stor betydelse för elevers språkutveckling. Elevers språk utvecklas när de får möjlighet att i grupp eller individuellt stärka sig i att lyssna och återberätta en uppläst text. För att främja språkutvecklingen hos elever i samband med boksamtal använder sig lärarna av olika läromedel för att anpassa undervisningen. Lärarna är avgörande för att möjliggöra att elever utvecklas och lyckas och därför kan de anpassa högläsningen och boksamtalsstunderna till elever på olika sätt. / The aim of this study is to find out how teachers describe reading and book conversations in the classroom in practice and how these can develop pupils' languages. The aim is also to investigate how teachers describe that they engage all pupils' in book conversations. In order to achieve the aim of the study, empirical material has been collected on the basis of Bryman's (2011) proposal for a qualitative method with semi-structured interviews. The study is based on the socio-cultural theory that explains that pupils learn in interaction and through communication with others. The conclusion based on the study's result is that teachers describe that reading and book conversations are of great importance for pupils' language development. Pupils' language is developed when they are given the opportunity to, in groups or individually, strengthen themselves in listening and retelling a spoken text. In order to promote language development among pupils in connection with book conversations, the teachers use different teaching aids to adapt the teaching. The teachers are crucial for enabling pupils to develop and succeed, and therefore they can adapt the reading and book talk occasions to pupils in different ways.

A antropometria baseia-se na mensuração e análise quantitativa das variáveis dimensionais da morfologia humana e tem sido amplamente introduzida na clínica fonoaudiológica como método objetivo de análise facial. Por esta razão, torna-se de suma importância que alunos de graduação em Fonoaudiologia aprendam eficientemente essa técnica. A simulação tem sido muito utilizada como metodologia de ensino, por permitir a reprodução de uma situação real, facilitando o treinamento e o aprendizado de atividades práticas manuais, como é o caso das mensurações antropométricas orofaciais. O objetivo desse estudo foi desenvolver e adaptar recursos tecnológicos para o ensino em Motricidade Orofacial, especificamente no que se refere à análise facial, e avaliar a efetividade da simulação para o processo de aprendizado. Para isso, foi desenvolvido um tutorial interativo e adaptado o programa de computador Invivo5®, para servir como ambiente de aprendizagem simulado. Participaram da pesquisa 20 alunos do 2º ano de graduação em Fonoaudiologia, que haviam concluído a disciplina Motricidade Orofacial II, os quais foram divididos aleatoriamente nos grupos experimental e controle, e três fonoaudiólogos com experiência em Motricidade Orofacial e análise facial, que foram submetidos à calibração. Todos os alunos receberam o tutorial interativo para estudo. O grupo experimental fez o treinamento das medidas antropométricas faciais no programa Invivo5® e o grupo controle em indivíduos do próprio grupo. Após o estudo e treinamento, alunos e fonoaudiólogos fizeram a avaliação das mensurações de nove medidas antropométricas orofaciais de um mesmo sujeito, duas vezes. Os resultados da avaliação final e o tempo de execução das medidas, foram tabulados e submetidos ao Teste t pareado, o qual mostrou que não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos controle e experimental em nenhum análise. Apenas a medida do lábio inferior e o tempo de execução das medidas apresentaram significância na comparação do grupo dos profissionais com os alunos. Diante disso, o desenvolvimento de um tutorial interativo e a adaptação do programa Invivo5® para simulação foram utilizados como ferramentas tecnológicas para o ensino em Motricidade Orofacial, especificamente a análise facial. Foi comprovada a efetividade da simulação no processo de aprendizagem, uma vez que o estudo não apresentou diferenças entre os métodos de ensino tradicional e simulado, sendo ambos foram satisfatórios para o ensino. / Anthropometry is based on the measurement and quantitative analysis of the dimensional variables of human morphology and has been widely introduced in the Speech-Language practice as an objective method of facial analysis. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance that undergraduate students in Speech-Language Pathology learn this technique efficiently. Simulation has been commonly used as a teaching methodology, since it allows the reproduction of a real situation, facilitating the training and learning of practical manual activities, as the orofacial anthropometric measurements. The purpose of this study was to develop and adapt technological resources for teaching in Orofacial Myology, specifically regarding facial analysis, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the simulation for the learning process. For this, an interactive tutorial was developed and was adapted the Invivo5® computer program to serve as a simulated learning environment. Twenty students from the second year of Speech-Language Pathology at FOB/USP, who had completed the discipline \"Orofacial Myology II\", were randomly divided into groups experimental and control, and a third group, consisting of three experienced speech therapists in Orofacial Myology and facial analysis, which were submitted to calibration, participated in the study. All students received the interactive tutorial for study. The experimental group did the training of anthropometric facial measures in the Invivo5® program and the control group did it on each other. After the study and training, students and speech therapists evaluated the measurements of nine orofacial anthropometric measures of the same subject, twice. The results of the final evaluation and the execution time of the measurements were tabulated and submitted to the paired t-test, which showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the control and experimental groups in any analysis. Just the measurement of the lower lip and the execution times of the procedures presented significance in the comparison between the groups of professionals with the students. On this, the development of an interactive tutorial and the adaptation of the Invivo5® simulation program served as technological tools for teaching facial analysis in Orofacial Myology. The effectiveness of the simulation was proven in the learning process, since the study did not show differences between traditional and simulated teaching methods, both being satisfactory for teaching.

O desenvolvimento de pensamento crítico é reconhecido como um objetivo fundamental da educação no Ensino Médio. Ao contrário do que o senso comum possa indicar, o pensamento crítico não significa a simples emissão de opinião sobre determinado assunto, mas trata-se de um processo que usa considerações racionais das evidências, dos métodos e critérios próprios de determinado assunto para interpretar, analisar e avaliar um novo dado. Para tal, analisou-se a possibilidade de utilização de artigos científicos do tema \"Saúde e Ambiente\" como um recurso didático que visa a aprendizagem de conteúdos específicos multidisciplinares, o aperfeiçoamento de habilidades da comunicação oral e escrita dos alunos em linguagem científica, o contato dos alunos com o processo de construção do conhecimento científico, a aquisição da habilidade de buscar ativamente o conhecimento em fontes fidedignas. Como exercício, propõe-se o desenvolvimento de uma Unidade de Aprendizagem baseada em um artigo científico para aplicação na sala de aula do Ensino Médio que incentivam a análise crítica das relações entre saúde e ambiente embasada em conhecimentos científicos sólidos dos conceitos envolvidos. O papel do professor é agir como facilitador e preparador de um conteúdo mínimo conceitual necessário para cada atividade promovendo o desenvolvimento de habilidades / The development of critical thinking is recognized as a fundamental goal of education in high school. Critical thinking does not mean the mere issuance of opinion on a particular subject, but it is a process that uses rational considerations of evidence, methods and criteria related to a particular subject in order to interpret, analyze and evaluate new data. To this end, we analyzed the possibility of using scientific articles on the theme \"Health and Environment\" as a teaching resource aimed at specific multidisciplinary learning contents. The improvement of skills of oral and written communication of students in scientific language, to put students in contact with the process of construction of scientific knowledge and the acquisition of the ability to actively pursue knowledge in reliable sources are the main goals of this resource. The selected papers encompass skills and abilities which, when developed, are per se the cultural achievement aimed at. Moreover, the themes developed for application in the high school class room encourage critical analysis of the relationship between health and environment based on sound scientific knowledge of the concepts involved. The teacher\'s role is to act as a facilitator and trainer of the minimum conceptual content required for each activity

No. of bitstreams: 1 Debora Rana de Camargo.pdf: 1271550 bytes, checksum: b864f87529a3bb302f1f69dbf9111118 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-08-28 / This study builds on the realization that Pedagogical Coordinators of the Municipal Education System of São Paulo, are not necessarily acting as teacher educators. This study aims at analyzing the necessary conditions for the Pedagogical Coordinator to act as teacher educator, performing in-service training in Municipal schools. The aim of our research has been to analyze the Cadernos de Apoio e Aprendizagem (Learning and Support Workbooks) produced by the Bureau of Education of São Paulo in partnership with Fundação Padre Anchieta, which distribution in the municipal public system started in 2010. Such material aims at giving greater effect to Learning Outcomes by means of planning activities that, organized into teaching units, relate to these outcomes. The material is composed by the Teachers Workbook, the Students Workbook and a complementary Video. Four Pedagogical coordinators whose teachers work in the first years of Primary Education and make use of such Workbooks were subject of the present research. Data gathering was conducted through semi-structured interviews, with theme-based questions. Data analysis was conducted through the construction of double-entry data tables in which the columns contained thematic aspects of the interviews and the lines contained the interviewees answers. Data analysis and interpretation reveals that, although Pedagogical Coordinators are aware that teacher education and Education Bureau policy implementation are among their professional duties, these tend to be partly carried out, or not carried out at all on their daily performance. What prevents it from happening are conditions related to training issues, conjunctural, and structural policies that were here organized into categories of analysis and could, thus, be investigated in further detail. It was concluded that, even with the support of the Bureau of Education, with teaching materials and guarantee of one Pedagogical Coordinator per school, if the basic conditions are not met, the process of in-service training is not carried out. This happens either due to poor conditions provided by the Bureau of Education, or, to the State accountability for personal assignments, which are, therefore, not transferable / Esta pesquisa partiu da constatação que o coordenador pedagógico da rede municipal de ensino da cidade de São Paulo não necessariamente atua como formador dos professores. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar as condições necessárias para que o coordenador pedagógico da rede municipal de ensino de São Paulo possa vir a atuar como formador de professores, realizando nas escolas a formação contínua em serviço. Foram objeto desta pesquisa os Cadernos de apoio e aprendizagem, produzidos pela Secretaria Municipal de Educação de São Paulo em parceria com a Fundação Padre Anchieta, com distribuição para a rede iniciada em 2010. Este material foi elaborado com a finalidade de dar maior eficácia às Expectativas de Aprendizagem, presentes do documento de Orientações Curriculares, por meio do planejamento de atividades que foram organizadas em unidades didáticas, articuladas às expectativas. Fazem parte deste material o Caderno do professor, o vídeo que complementa as atividades propostas no material gráfico e o Caderno do aluno. Foram sujeitos desta pesquisa quatro coordenadoras pedagógicas da rede municipal de ensino que atendem o ciclo I e cujos professores utilizam o Caderno de apoio e aprendizagem. Para levantamento das informações, foi utilizada a entrevista semiestruturada com as questões organizadas em blocos temáticos. Para a análise dos dados, foram construídos quadros de dupla entrada. Na coluna, foram colocados aspectos dos blocos temáticos das entrevistas e nas linhas as respostas de cada uma das entrevistas. A análise e interpretação dos dados revela que, embora o coordenador pedagógico saiba que dentre as suas atribuições esteja a de ser formador dos professores e a de auxiliar a implantar as políticas definidas por SME-SP à equipe de professores, no dia a dia isso não é realizado ou é realizado parcialmente. O que as impede são condições relativas às questões formativas, conjunturais, estruturais e políticas, que foram aqui organizadas em categorias de análise e assim puderam ser melhor investigadas. Concluiu-se que apesar do apoio de SME, com materiais didáticos e garantia de um coordenador por escola, se as condições básicas não forem garantidas, o processo de formação contínua em serviço não se realiza, seja por pouca condição dada pela SME, seja pela responsabilização ao Estado de atribuições que são de âmbito pessoal e, por isso, intransferíveis
