Este estudio pone de manifiesto la gran complementariedad existente entre la medicina y la pedagogía. La primera para poder satisfacer su demanda de asesoramiento pedagógico y de formación docente y la segunda para poder disponer de un nuevo escenario de formación en la práctica profesional fuera del contexto escolar. Para ello, se ocupa de identificar y analizar desde un punto de vista pedagógico los principales componentes de la formación postgrado de la especialidad de Medicina Familiar y Comunitaria (MFyC), atendiendo al siguiente esquema: tipo de formación, estructura, organización y metodología docente.En un primer apartado se justifica y delimita el problema de investigación a una especialidad concreta -la MFyC-, a un contexto, -la Región de Murcia- y a un momento formativo, -el inicio de la residencia (R1), que corresponde, según el nuevo Programa Formativo de la Especialidad a una rotación de 3 a 6 meses en el Centro de Salud-.Posteriormente se formulan los objetivos y se plantea la hipótesis que guiará todo el proceso de trabajo. El principal objetivo consiste en indagar en el Plan Individual de Formación que se establece o debería establecerse entre el tutor y su residente al inicio del primer y del tercer año de rotación (R1) en los Centros de Salud docentes de la Región de Murcia. / The present study highlights the wide interaction existing between Medicine and Pedagogy. The former can satisfy the claim of Medicine regarding the need of pedagogical consultancy and educational training. The latter offers a new scenario of education in professional practice outside the scholastic context. For such purpose, it identifies and analyses, from a pedagogical point of view, the core components of the Postgraduate Education of the specialist training of Family Medice, regarding the following domains: methods of learning, structure, organization and teaching methodology.Firstly, it justifies and defines the problem of research in a particular speciality -Family Medice, a context -Murcia Region-, and to a formative moment -the beginning of medical house Residency (R1), which consists of 3 to 6 months rotation in the Primary Care Centre, according to the New Specialist Educational Program-.Secondly, aims are established and the working hypothesis for the study is formulated. The fundamental purpose of this research is to enquire into the Learning Individual Program that there is -or there should be- between the preceptor and the student who is doing the clinical practice during the first year of rotation (R1) in the Teaching Health Centres of Murcia Region.

The purpose of this study is to outline students’ attitudes towards ICT in the learning of English. The research was carried out as action research at a vocational high school in Sweden. The study aims at giving answers to the questions what the students’ attitudes towards ICT are, to what extent they think that ICT affects their learning and if ICT use changes their attitudes towards English. The students had little or no previous experience of ICT. For a period of two months, they used ICT in their English studies. This work was organized according to Svensson’s (2008) definitions ICT as a tutor, ICT as a tool and ICT as an arena, which are connected to behavioristic, cognitive/constructive and social constructivist/socio-cultural learning perspectives, respectively. For example, the students read and listened to texts online, wrote their own dialogues for a movie and maintained their own blogs. After each module, they evaluated the method and at the end of the project they were interviewed. The study shows that most of the students were positive towards ICT in learning English. They were most positive towards ICT as a tutor, which was interesting given that behavioristic ways of learning are often criticized by today’s scholars. Furthermore, the students claimed that ICT gives them new opportunities to learn. Not surprisingly, to learn in a way that suits the individual learner was seen as positive. They stated that it was difficult to comment on the impact that ICT might have had on their performance after such a limited period of time, but they indicated that they thought that they had improved at least a little. During the interviews, a few students claimed to have changed their attitudes towards English a little, in a positive way, but it was difficult to confirm this after such short time.

Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate some uses of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a pedagogical aid for supporting students with difficulties in reaching the curricular goals in the school subject English. Special focus is on students with reading and writing difficulties and on students with a foreign background in the ninth grade of the compulsory school and in upper secondary school. The method of investigation consisted of two parts: (a) interviews with eleven regular English teachers and with four remedial teachers about their experiences of using ICT as a pedagogical aid, and (b) an action study in which ICT-based activities were tested in a group of six students with difficulties in English. The results of the interviews showed that in the remedial classes ICT-based support was rather limited. The exceptions were students with severe reading and writing difficulties and other grave learning disabilities. These students were offered greater access to various technical aids and systematic support. For dyslexic students various ICT tools often proved to be an effective and indispensable support in their learning. In non-remedial English lessons, the use of ICT was somewhat greater. Here teachers used ICT as a pedagogical aid for the benefit of all students. The computer was considered to be a good support for project writing as it provided the students with a huge database, with online dictionaries and with a spell checker. The results of the action research showed that students were positive about communicating in English via ICT and they showed great interest in other activities facilitated by technology, such as training grammar, vocabulary, and reading. In conclusion, these surveys generated results similar to those of other studies, showing that although ICT can be an effective pedagogical aid in supporting students with difficulties learning English, it is not presently being used to its full potential.

Based on the experiences of a number of teachers and tutors, the overall purpose of this study is to contribute to knowledge about multilingual study guidance. The purpose is specified by the following questions: What experiences do teachers and tutors have of the importance of study guidance for the language, knowledge and identity development of multilingual students and what challenges do they face? What descriptions do teachers and tutors give of how multilingual study guidance can be organized and implemented and what challenges do they face?  The method for this study is qualitative semi-structured interviews in seven focus groups consisting of 10 tutors and 19 teachers in grades 1–6. The perspective of the study is sociocultural and the result is interpreted based on the hermeneutic approach. The result of the study shows that the informants agree that study guidance favors language, knowledge and identity development of multilingual students by enabling students to strengthen and develop their mother tongue and second language in parallel to the development of subject knowledge. Through the opportunity to mediate their knowledge and thoughts, the students' sense of identity is strengthened and developed. Futhermore, the informants describe that multilingual study guidance is most commonly carried out during the lessons as well as in mathematics and social and science subjects. Several informants, mainly teachers express an uncertainty about how study guidance can be organized and implemented and what effects this will have on the development of multilingual students. The challenges that the informants in the study experience is that aspects of time and organization make it difficult to find forms of cooperation between teachers and tutors for the planning and evaluation of multilingual study guidance.  The conclusion is that cooperation between teachers and tutors and knowledge of multilingual study guidance increase the multilingual students’ opportunities to develop.

Facilitation of learning through the use of tutors is a worldwide approach that is supported by most Open and Distance Learning institutions. This approach was expanded by integrating face-to-face mode of delivery and online delivery with the purpose of increasing access and participation of students at Unisa. However, the practicality of this integration cannot be overlooked and this reality led to this study. Given the background, this dissertation presents a study on tutors’ perceptions of effective facilitation through the use of an integrated tutor model (ITM) in an Open Distance Learning (ODL) environment. This study sought to explore the views of Unisa tutors focusing on the success factors, challenges and the impact this model has on tutors’ behaviour in terms of tutorial delivery in the implementation of the integrated tutor model in tutorial classes. This was done with an aim of expanding access and participation. A qualitative research method was conducted with Unisa Gauteng Region tutors. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews. The findings of the study showed that the level of academic staff involvement in the tutorial program is very low and there was no involvement at all in other colleges. The training and development provided to ODL tutors is highly appreciated by tutors, however, it needs to be intensified to yield the desired outcomes. Findings further revealed that the institution needs to attend to the provision of access to students. Based on these findings, recommendations were made that academic staff members need to increase their level of involvement in the tutorial program in order to support tutors who provide support to students. Practical training of tutors on the use of technology is necessary and the institution must increase access to computers and the internet for students. / Educational Studies / M. Ed.

This thesis examines the possibilities of linking the interest in a child (a participant in interest education in the field of education of leisure) with the interest in achieving the goals of various leisure education activities, as well as the goals being (co)determined by the child itself. The thesis strives to find the solution in a method in which an activity goal of the child is transformed into a goal of the tutor with the intention of encouraging the child's personal development. The thesis is divided into four chapters.The first chapter deals with educational goals and the goals of leisure education.The following chapter explores the goals of education as set by various pedagogical conceptions and alternative approaches to the isme. The third chapter acquaints the reader with the psychological potential of the target group.The last chapter is dedicated to the growth of child's potential, its ability of free choice and decision making, expressions of creativity, and the "flow" state.

Distance Education expands the scope of the inside classroom teaching model since anybody, independent of where he lives or how much available time he has, has the opportunity to initiate or complement his studies. Considering access facility, availability and interaction resources provided, the Internet is a midia sufficiently used for Distance Education. This work has as objective the design and implementation of a framework, FA_PorT,for Portfolio-Tutoring systems coupled a Intelligent Tutoring Systems (STI) and using agents and present two applications Portfolio-Tutoring, created from the framework The FA_PorT mainly aiming the design of a model computer-based interactive learning environment for Portfolio-Tutoring systems. Each system Portfolio-Tutoring will be able to be used in the context of environment for EAD in the web. The framework proposed, aims to reuse of internal architecture (or skeleton) of a portfolio-tutoring system based on ITS and Agents, doing with that development time of a new portfolio-tutoring system will be reduced. / A Educação a Distância (EAD) amplia o alcance da modalidade de ensino presencial, já que fornece aos indivíduos, independentemente do local onde moram ou tempo disponível, a oportunidade de iniciar ou complementar seus estudos. Em virtude da facilidade de acesso, disponibilidade e recursos de interação existentes, a Internet é uma mídia bastante utilizada na EAD. O objetivo deste trabalho é projetar e implementar um framework, FA_PorT, para sistemas Portfólio-Tutor acoplado a um sistema Tutor Inteligente (STI) utilizando Agentes e apresentar duas aplicações Portfólio-Tutor, criadas a partir do framework. O FA_PorT visa propor um modelo de ambiente interativo de ensino e aprendizagem baseado numa arquitetura para sistemas Portfólio-Tutor. Cada sistema Portfólio-Tutor construído a partir do framework pode ser utilizado no contexto de ambientes de EAD na web. O framework proposto objetiva o reaproveitamento da estrutura interna (núcleo comum) de um sistema Portfólio-Tutor baseado em STI e Agentes, fazendo com que o tempo de desenvolvimento de um novo sistema Portfólio-Tutor seja reduzido

Há também os que buscam ingressar no ensino superior por meio do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) e utilizam esta modalidade de ensino para complementar os estudos, objetivando sanar lacunas deixadas pela formação escolar. O ENEM é composto por questões objetivas (subdivididas em 4 grandes áreas: Linguagens e Códigos; Matemática; Ciências Humanas; e Ciências Naturais) e a questão subjetiva (redação). Segundo dados do Ministério da Educação (MEC), mais de 50% dos candidatos que fizeram a prova do ENEM em 2014 obtiveram desempenho abaixo de 500 pontos na redação. Esta pesquisa utilizará recomendações pedagógicas baseadas no gênero textual utilizado pelo ENEM, visando prover uma melhoria na escrita da redação dissertativa. Para tanto, foi utilizado, como ferramenta experimental, o ambiente online de aprendizagem MeuTutor. O ambiente possui um módulo de escrita de redação, no qual é utilizada para correção dos textos elaborados pelos alunos, a metodologia de avaliação por pares, cujo pesquisas mostram que os resultados avaliativos são significativos e bastante similares aos obtidos por professores especialistas. Entretanto, apenas apresentar a pontuação da redação por si só, não garante a melhora da produção textual do aluno avaliado. Desta forma, visando um ganho em performance na produção da redação, foi adicionado ao MeuTutor um módulo de recomendação pedagógica baseado em 19 perfis resultados do uso de algoritmos de mineração de dados (DBScan e Kmeans) nos microdados do ENEM 2012 disponibilizado pelo MEC. Estes perfis foram agrupados em 6 blocos que possuíam um conjunto de tarefas nas áreas de escrita, gramática e coerências e concordância textual. A validação destas recomendações foi feita em um experimento de 3 ciclos, onde em cada ciclo o aluno: escreve a redação; avalia os seus pares; realiza a recomendação pedagógica que foi recebida. A partir da análise estatística destes dados, foi possível constatar que o modelo estratégico de recomendação utilizado nesta pesquisa, possibilitou um ganho mensurável na qualidade da produção textual. / Online education has grown significantly in recent years throughout the world, becoming a viable option for those who don’t have the time to pursuit traditional technical training or academic degree. In Brazil, people seek to enter higher education through the National Secondary Education Examination (ENEM) and use online education to complement their studies, aiming to remedy gaps in their school formation. The ENEM consists of objective questions (divided into 4 main areas: languages and codes; Mathematics; Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences), and the subjective questions (the essay). According to the Brazilian Department of Education (MEC), more than 50% of the candidates who took the test (ENEM) in 2014, obtained performance below 500 points (out of a 1000 maximum points) for their essays. This research uses educational recommendations based on the five official correction criteria for the ENEM essays, to improve writing. Thus, this research used an experimental tool in an online learning environment called MeuTutor. The mentioned learning environment has an essay writing/correction module. The correction module uses peer evaluation techniques, for which researches show that the results are, significantly, similar to those obtained by specialists’ correction. However, to simply display the scores for the criteria does not guarantee an improvement in students’ writing. Thus, to promote that, an educational recommendation module was added to MeuTutor. It is based on 19 profiles obtained mining data from the 2012 ENEM. It uses the algorithms DBSCAN and K-Means, and grouped the profiles into six blocks, to which a set of tasks were associated to the areas of writing, grammar and coherence, and textual agreement. The validation of these recommendations was made in an experiment with three cycles, where students should: (1) write the essay; (2) evaluate their peers; (3) perform the pedagogical recommendations received. From the analysis of these data, it was found that the strategic model of recommendation used in this study, enabled a measurable gain in quality of textual production.
