Formação de professores para a educação técnica de nível médio: análise do programa especial de formação pedagógica da UTFPR

Claudino, Jane Carla 17 December 2011 (has links)
A forte demanda por profissionais de nível técnico para atender o crescimento do setor produtivo exige do sistema educacional professores capacitados para atuar nesse nível de ensino de forma a preparar adequadamente não só profissionais para o trabalho, mas cidadãos atuantes e transformadores da sociedade. Essa realidade não é algo tão novo em nosso país, pois desde o início do século passado várias foram as ações voltadas para o desenvolvimento da educação profissional. No entanto, se ao longo dos anos as políticas de educação profissional e tecnológica trataram de expandir a oferta, tal expansão não se fez acompanhar de políticas consistentes no que diz respeito a uma formação inicial e continuada de professores para atuar nesta modalidade educacional em seus diversos níveis. Pelo contrário, foram programas e ações de natureza pontual que não surtiram o efeito desejado, posto que foram provisórias, emergenciais e pouco efetivas. Nesse contexto, assume relevância a necessidade de definir que cursos, currículos e programas são demandados e, especialmente, quais as necessidades de professores para atuar na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT), em seus diversos níveis e modalidades. Considerando essas circunstâncias e o atual momento de expansão da Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica, essa pesquisa diz respeito às políticas de formação de professores para a Educação Profissional Técnica de Nível Médio. Considera-se que as referidas modalidades de ensino dizem respeito não só à preparação para o exercício de uma profissão, mas principalmente para o exercício da cidadania pelo trabalhador que é produtor de bens, riquezas e tecnologia. Da mesma forma, destaca-se a relevância do papel dos docentes para a efetivação de uma educação de qualidade. Partindo destas premissas, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, mediante revisão bibliográfica, análise documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas, no Programa Especial de Formação Pedagógica da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná a fim de averiguar se e como a concepção e a metodologia utilizadas nesse programa podem contribuir para que os alunos que cursam o programa adquiram uma formação compatível com as demandas da Educação Profissional Técnica de Nível Médio na atualidade, e também para torná-los educadores críticos e conscientes de seu papel social. Além da análise de documentos do referido Programa, como Regimento, Edital de Abertura de Turma e informações do sítio, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com alunos, professores e com o coordenador do curso. Estas entrevistas permitiram avaliar as concepções dos participantes sobre questões relevantes no contexto da Educação Profissional Técnica de Nível Médio, como papel e perfil dos docentes, definições de tecnologia e educação tecnológica, interdisciplinaridade e formação adequada do professor. Dentre as considerações obtidas como resultado da pesquisa, pode-se destacar o fato de que as políticas públicas voltadas a formação de professores para a Educação Profissional estão muito aquém do esperado, permanecendo lacunas que acompanham sua história desde os primórdios, assim como a dualidade estrutural constante na formação de cidadão. Além disso, verificou-se que o Programa Especial de Formação Pedagógica da UTFPR não prepara docentes para atuar na Educação Profissional Técnica de Nível Médio e que, apesar de apresentar uma estrutura pautada nos eixos norteadores propostos pela Resolução CNE n.º 2 /1997, precisa ser revisto, repensado e reestruturado não só para atender à formação de docentes para a educação profissional, mas também para a educação básica. Neste trabalho serão apresentados, com maior detalhamento, outros resultados, e algumas sugestões para encaminhamentos e futuras pesquisas. / Strong demand for technical professionals to meet the growth of the productive sector of the education system requires teachers trained to work at this level of education so as to adequately prepare professionals to not only work, but active citizens and transform society. This reality is not so new in our country, because from the beginning of last century there were several actions for the development of professional education. However, if over the years policies and technological education sought to expand supply, this expansion has not been accompanied by consistent policies with respect to an initial and continuing training of teachers to work in this mode of education in its various levels. Rather, programs and actions were timely nature that do not have the desired effect, since it was temporary, emergency and not very effective. In this context it is important to define the need for courses, curricula and programs are demanded, and especially where the needs of teachers to work in the Professional and Technical Education (EFA) at its various levels and modalities. Given these circumstances and the current period of expansion of the Federal Network of Professional Education, Science and Technology, this research concerns the politics of teacher training for Technical Education and High School for Professional and Technical Education. It is considered that these methods of teaching not only concern the preparation for a profession, but mostly for the exercise of citizenship by a worker who is a producer of goods, wealth and technology. Likewise, we highlight the important role of teachers for the implementation of a quality education. Starting from these premises, we developed a qualitative research through literature review, documentary analysis and semistructured interviews, the Special Program of Pedagogical Education Federal Technological University of Parana in order to ascertain whether and how the design and methodology used in this program may contribute to the students who undergo this training may become critical educators, efficient and conscious of their social role. Besides the analysis of documents of that Program, Procedure, Notice of Open Class and information site, we conducted semi-structured interviews with students, teachers and the course coordinator. These interviews allowed us to evaluate the views of participants on relevant issues in the context of Education Vocational and Technical High School, as a role and profile of teachers, definitions of technology and technological education, interdisciplinarity, and adequate training of teachers. The paper presents these results and referrals and suggestions for future research.

Issues in technical education in Soweto

Madida, Gabriel Mandla 10 September 2014 (has links)
M.Ed. (Educational Management) / As a result of the accelerated industrialization which is taking place, organised industry as well as the educational authorities involved, became more aware of the need to have schools where pupils/students could receive technical oriented education (Department of Education and Training, 1981:4). Scientific and technical literacy is increasingly necessary in our society, but the number of pupils who graduate from high school with only the most rudimentary notions of science and technology portends trouble in the decades ahead. This has several implications, inter alia: People in a wide range of non-scientific and nonengineering occupations and professions must have a greater understanding of technology than ever before. Yet, the educational system does not always provide such an understanding. Pupils who take no more mathematics and science after their ninth year in school have effectively eliminated the possibility of science or engineering as a career. The pool from which the future engineering personnel can be drawn is therefore in danger of becoming smaller. Education is t.he route by which upward mobility has been achieved by disadvantaged groups. Increased emphasis must be given to aiding those who have been excluded from careers in science and engineering...

A Comparison of the Leadership Styles Of Occupational Therapy Education Program Directors and Clinic Administrators

Reiss, Rhona G. 12 1900 (has links)
Are there differences in leadership styles among occupational therapy clinic administrators and program directors in professional and technical education programs? This study investigated transformational and transactional leadership behaviors and effectiveness as measured by the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) Form 5x-Short behaviors and demographic characteristics of leaders and their organizations using a questionnaire designed by the researcher. MLQ Leader Forms were received from 50 clinic administrators randomly selected from the membership list of the Administration and Management Special Interest Section (AMSIS) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), 56 professional program directors, and 41 technical program directors from accredited occupational therapy education programs in the United States, for a total of 147 leader respondents. Rater forms were received from 2 to 5 occupational therapy staff or faculty per leader and average scores calculated. More than 86% of leader respondents were female and white. Major findings indicate that administrative positions indifferent institutional contexts relate to leadership behaviors and effectiveness. Technical education program directors and clinic administrators scored higher on transformational behaviors and effectiveness than professional education program directors. Consistent with other research on leadership, the self-ratings of leaders were higher than ratings of subordinates. The data indicated statistically significant positive correlations between transformational leadership behaviors and perceived effectiveness, a frequent finding in the literature. With the exception of Contingent Reward (CR), all transactional behaviors had a negative correlation with effectiveness. No significant relationships were found between transformational behaviors and leader’s gender or ethnicity, but males scored higher than females on the transactional behavior Management by Exception-Passive (MEP) and Laissez-Faire (LF). Some transformational behaviors were related to the leader’s age and years of experience in academia, but relationships were not linear. Highest level of education was related to leadership effectiveness. No significant relationships were found between leadership behaviors and demographic characteristics of the institution (e.g. size, public or private). Differences in leadership styles among the three groups of leaders may be attributed to differences in organizational culture and raises additional research questions on transformational leadership and measures of effectiveness in the university culture. The findings suggest the need for education and training in transformational leadership during this era of rapid change in occupational therapy practice and education.

Examining the effect of program design on career and technical program completion, technical skill attainment and job placement

Weaver, Jennifer Candace 13 December 2019 (has links)
Community college career and technical education programs struggle with meeting federallyunded Perkins performance measures. To address this need the 30-45-60 program design was developed. The study purpose was to determine if the 30-45-60 program design influenced career certificate, technical certificate or Associate of Applied Science degree completion rates, technical skill attainment, and job placement rates for students enrolled in the welding, precision machining and manufacturing and electrical technology programs. A Chi-square test of independence indicated no significantly significant relationship between the 30-45-60 program design and completion of a certificate or degree (p = .222). A closer look revealed no significantly significant relationship between the 30-45-60 program design and the career certificate (p = .392) or the Associate of Applied Science degree (.576) but was statistically significant for technical certificate (p = .000). A statistically significant relationship was found for technical skill attainment (p =.038) and job placement (p = .000).
