Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / A tese analisa o papel desempenhado pela UNESCO no que se refere a disseminação de diretrizes e valores ideológicos no campo da educação no Brasil na virada do milênio e a tarefa educativa realizada pelo Programa das Escolas Associadas da UNESCO (PEA-UNESCO) como um dos mecanismos de difusão do modelo educacional da UNESCO no chão das escolas. Dessa forma, resgatamos, num primeiro momento, algumas categorias e conceitos marxianos e marxistas que foram utilizados como suporte teórico para análise do objeto, seguido de uma breve reflexão sobre os limites e as possibilidades de conjuntura. Num segundo momento, caracterizamos a política neoliberal como uma expressão político-pedagógica da nova sociabilidade e o Novo-Desenvolvimentismo no Brasil como uma forma de ressignificar o padrão de intervenção do Estado na economia e na questão social. Além disso, realizamos uma revisão de literatura e análise de estudos que elaboraram sínteses sobre a pedagogia da hegemonia e sua relação com os organismos multilaterais. Abordamos, num terceiro momento, por meio de pesquisa documental e análise bibliográfica, um pouco da história da UNESCO, seus princípios, conteúdos, métodos e seus principais encaminhamentos da virada do milênio, bem como sua articulação com os outros organismos multilaterais. Por último, analisamos o PEA-UNESCO no contexto da perspectiva educacional da UNESCO como forma de dar materialidade a análise. Deste modo, ao compreendermos a vinculação com a necessidade burguesa de educar o consenso e educar para o conformismo, concluímos que a UNESCO, no conteúdo e na forma através de diversas ações , vem exercendo a função de elaborar e difundir um modelo pedagógico que cimenta as orientações de políticas públicas educacionais dos demais organismos multilaterais. Afirma-se que ela cumpre um papel de intelectual orgânico ao contribuir de forma significativa para conformar as classes trabalhadoras aos valores requeridos pelo sistema capitalista no seu atual estágio ao compor o bloco histórico dominante. O PEA-UNESCO cumpre a tarefa pedagógica de difundir, ideologicamente, a perspectiva de educação ao longo da vida e a educação para o desenvolvimento sustentável como elementos que reforçam o processo de afirmação de uma nova sociabilidade requerida pelo Estado educador, no qual a UNESCO/PEA, na nova fase superior do imperialismo, cumpre um papel significativo

This study analyzes the initial training education for Language teachers, especially when it comes to English language teaching, considering the legislation which gives it support. The Portuguese-English course offered by the Federal University of Sergipe was chosen as the empirical field of this research, and its main document, the pedagogical project (Resolution n.59/2007/CONEPE), was analyzed. It is a qualitative research of a critical-descriptive type. The dialectic method was used for deepening the analysis of theories based on bibliographical and documental research. During the investigation, the social, economic, political, and educational contexts were analyzed, taking into account the changes in Capitalism according to Netto and Braz (2006), Bolaño (2002), Behring, and Boschetti (2006), among others. University education in this context of changes was also analyzed, taking into consideration the contributions by Sguissardi (2006), Chauí (2003), and Nascimento et al (2006), as the local context (Sergipe) was considered. The initial training education for teachers was also studied. First, in a wider way, referring to the public policies for teachers training based on studies by Weber (2002), Dourado (2001, 2002), and Freitas (2002); and some documents, such as the National Educational Law (lei 9.394/1996) and the National Policies for the Initial Training of Teachers of Basic Education at the University Level (Resolution CNE/CP 1, February 18th, 2002). Teachers training for English teachers, which is the focus of this study, was also examined. In this sense, a dialogue was established, involving the subject of Resolution n.59/2007/CONEPE, which approves the Political and Pedagogical Project of the Portuguese-English Course at UFS, the theoretical information of several authors, such as Almeida Filho (2007) and Paiva (2003), as well as the legislation which deals with the teaching of English and teachers training education for English teachers. As far as the legislation is concerned, the main documents consulted were: the National Curricular Parameters for Foreign Language, Elementary and Secondary Education, the Curricular Orientation for Secondary Education, and the Curricular Policies for Language Courses. The dialogue established points to the fact that the university, especially the teachers training course designed for English teachers, has followed the idea of providing a service but not of producing knowledge, whereas this last one should be its main objective. In this sense, the analysis showed as main problems concerning teachers training that are offered to English teachers who attend the course in study: the reduced number of hours dedicated to the teaching of the English language, as well as the insufficient number of hours directed to teachers training education. / Esse estudo analisa a formação inicial em Letras, em especial no que concerne ao professor de língua inglesa, frente à legislação que a ampara. Para conduzi-lo, foi escolhida, como campo empírico, a habilitação em Português-Inglês ofertada pela Universidade Federal de Sergipe, objeto de análise documental, a partir do seu projeto pedagógico (Resolução n.59/2007/CONEPE). Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo crítico-descritiva, que, fazendo uso do método dialético, realizou-se mediante aprofundamento teórico obtido por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Na condução da investigação, discutiu-se a conjuntura social, econômica, política e educacional a partir das mudanças no capitalismo, contando com as análises de Netto e Braz (2006), Bolaño (2002), Behring e Boschetti (2006), entre outros. Analisou-se também o ensino superior nesse contexto de mudanças, considerando as contribuições principais de Sguissardi (2006), Chauí (2003), e de Nascimento et al (2006), quando se tratou do contexto sergipano. Foi estudada ainda a formação inicial de professores, primeiramente de uma maneira mais ampla, referindo-se às políticas públicas de formação de professores, com base nas análises, especialmente de Weber (2002), Dourado (2001, 2002) e Freitas (2002); e de alguns documentos, tais como a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (lei 9.394/1996) e as Diretrizes Nacionais para Formação Inicial de Professores para a Educação Básica em Nível Superior (Resolução CNE/CP 1, de 18 de fevereiro de 2002). Examinou-se também a formação de professores de língua inglesa, foco do trabalho. Nessa parte, estabeleceu-se um diálogo envolvendo o que está documentado na Resolução n.59/2007/CONEPE a qual aprova o Projeto Político Pedagógico da habilitação Português-Inglês da UFS, as informações teóricas de diversos autores, tais como Almeida Filho (2007) e Paiva (2003), e a legislação que trata do ensino e da formação do professor de língua inglesa: os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais de língua estrangeira, ensino fundamental e médio, as Orientações Curriculares para o Ensino Médio, e as Diretrizes Curriculares para os Cursos de Letras. O diálogo estabelecido aponta para o fato de que a universidade, em especial, o curso de formação de professores em língua inglesa, tem atuado segundo a lógica de prestação de serviço e não como produtora de conhecimento, quando esta deveria ser sua real função. Nesse sentido, a análise empreendida permitiu observar como principais problemas, no que tange à formação do professor de inglês graduado pelo curso em estudo, o reduzido número de horas dedicadas ao ensino do idioma, bem como a insuficiente carga horária direcionada à formação do professor.

The main objective of this work is to characterize and help choosing the person responsible for carrying out activities related to the CI in the company, to identify the most appropriate information sources to obtain information about the company and software tools for their monitoring. The theoretical part is drawn on the literature and is dedicated to the description of competitive intelligence and characteristics of different phases of the CI cycle. Other sections are devoted to typologies of information resources and software tools for their monitoring. Following parts are dealing with the characteristics of the category of small and medium-sized enterprises; the investigated company and education organizations fit in this category. The practical part of this thesis deals with the possible proposal of Competitive Intelligence for specific training company. As the first step we realized the analysis of the business environment and its major limitations. In the following part we deal with the CI system design, consisting of a selection of variant realization, along with the characteristics of the responsible person, the definition of information resources and recommending software tools for regular monitoring. The practical benefit of this work is to introduce CI system design, based on monitoring of information sources, obtaining information and their subsequent evaluation in relation to the competitive environment of the company. Another important asset of the work is a sample of implementation of such a system in the company of categories of small and medium-sized enterprises, which respects their limitations.

This diploma thesis deals with the comparison of education of upper secondary teachers in chosen countries including the Czech Republic. Its objective is to analyse requirements for teachers' training, qualifications and continuing professional development. The thesis primarily looks into the organisation of the education system and governance, legislation and principals of upper secondary teachers' training in chosen countries. The thesis is divided into two main parts. The first one specifies the environment of chosen countries using different criteria (the Czech Republic, England and Wales, Finland) and also the teachers' training, qualification and development dilemma in particular countries is detailed in this part. The countries involved are described in general (geographic location, political system, social, cultural and economic situation). The outline of the development and current situation of each society contributes to the understanding of particular systems of education. Chosen countries are characterised by a considerable geographic distance and also by different historical development. The general information is enhanced with legislation and administration and governance specifics. We can assess the causes and consequences of various factors which can influence teachers' education...

The purpose of this study was to investigate if there are correlations among an instructor's approach to teaching, student evaluation of instruction outcomes, and the amount of formal coursework in education a teacher has completed. Three research questions provided the focus for the study: (1) to determine if there is a correlation between the number of formal educational courses taken by athletic training educational program (ATEP) faculty and their approach to teaching; (2) to determine if there is a correlation between the amount of formal educational courses taken by ATEP faculty and their students' evaluations of instruction; and (3) to determine if there is a relationship between faculty's approach to teaching and students' evaluations of instruction. The population for the study was certified athletic trainers working as full-time faculty in ATEPs in the State of Florida. Data were generated using all eligible faculty from 10 of the 13 universities in Florida that offer Athletic Training Educational Programs. The study included faculty who teach in large and small ATEPs. Faculty from public and private, large and small universities were also represented. The faculty completed questionnaires that included demographic information, the Approaches to Teaching Inventory (ATI-R) and the Students' Evaluation of Educational Quality (SEEQ) questionnaire. Based on the research findings, there is clear evidence that there is a lack of uniformity among ATEP faculty in the area of formal exposure to pedagogy and curriculum. 17.6% (n = 3) of respondents earned a bachelor's degree in physical education and 18.8% (n = 3) of respondents earned a master's degree in education, health education, or physical education. Of the 77.8% (n = 14) of respondents who completed or were in progress with a doctoral degree, 42.9% (n = 6) degrees were related to education. Faculty reported completing a mean of 9.25 courses related to education (SD = 7.39). The number of educational courses taken ranged from 0 to 25 courses. The study demonstrates that there is a correlation of large effect size between the amount of formal educational coursework and the SEEQ subscale value of "Assignments/Readings." In addition, the "Assignments/Readings" and "Learning/Academic Value" subscale scores on the SEEQ were significantly higher when instructors had completed more than 10 educational courses. The study found moderate and large correlations and medium and large effect sizes between the scores of 7 of the 8 remaining SEEQ subscales and the number of education courses taken by faculty. In addition, there was a moderate correlation and medium effect size between the total score of the SEEQ and the number of education courses taken by faculty. Though statistically non-significant, each of these correlations were positive and may demonstrate a need for the study to be replicated using greater statistical power.

The point of this study is to understand how Umeå university’s curriculum for the subject of history evolved in the time period 1970 to 2015. Therefore, this study will analyze Umeå university’s curriculum for the course History AB 1, that is included in the history teacher training education. Furthermore, this study will take this analyzation of the curriculum and compare it to the Swedish high school curriculum. This is to better understand the evolution of the education program for teachers, but also to study the symbiotic relationship between schools and universities. Moreover, this assignment will be using Stina Hallsén’s description of policy analyzes to examine the valuation and norms from Umeå’s curriculum, and then take the analyzation further by comparing it to the Swedish high school curriculum. It will thereafter be analyzed with Gert Biesta’s three concepts, Qualification, Socialization and subjectification. Biesta’s concepts will help to measure how good the education at the teacher education program in Umeå is. The results of the study can shortly be described that there’s a long line of changes happening at the teacher education program at Umeå university and the subject of history in the time period 1970 to 2015. The changes range from small differences like the curriculum changing pace, to big changes like entire course moments getting removed and new ones getting added. In addition, the curriculum from Umeå university gets compared to the Swedish high school curriculum. This comparison alongside the study’s framing of question serves to give better insight into how the teachers education program has changed and evolved during the time period. Lastly the results of this study show that yes, there is a symbiotic relationship between Umeå university’s education for teachers and the Swedish high school curriculum. Furthermore, the students attending the teacher training education are taught that becoming a teacher is a lifelong mission to evolve and understand the changes happening in the schools.
