The Teaching of Children's Poetry: An Exploration of Instructional Practices in University Courses of Children's Literature, English, Language Arts, and Reading Education

Jacko, June Marie 12 1900 (has links)
There are no studies which focus on the instructional practices employed in the teaching of children's poetry at the university level. This project aimed to describe the instructional practices utilized in the teaching of children's poetry at universities across the United States. Limited to the practices of the university professors and adjunct instructors who were members of the Children's Literature Assembly (CLA) of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) at the time of this study, this investigation attempted to ascertain the general perceptions of poetry held by these university professors and adjunct instructors, their in-class instructional practices, and the types of poetry assignments given. Additionally, this study revealed both the poets typically highlighted and the goals held by professors and instructors in courses of children's literature, English, language arts, library science, and reading education. A mixed-methods design provided the framework for the descriptive data gleaned from the Poetry Use Survey. Quantitative data analysis yielded descriptive statistical data (means, standard deviations, ranges, percentages). Qualitative data analysis (manual and computer-assisted techniques) yielded categories and frequencies of response. Major findings included respondents': (a) belief that the teaching of poetry was important, (b) general disagreement for single, "correct" interpretations of poetry and general agreement in support of multiple interpretations, (c) general disagreement whether current curricular demands have prevented or impaired their teaching of poetry, (e) high frequency of reading poetry out loud in class, (f) emphasis on inclusion of award-winning poets in assignments, (g) instructional emphasis on variety and breadth in the selection of poets highlighted in a particular course, (h) goals for inclusion of poetry centered on pedagogical issues (e.g., frequent use, appreciation of craft; writing models; thematic uses) in language arts and across content areas.

QUALIDADE DA GESTÃO ACADÃMICA E DA DOCÃNCIA EM CURSOS DE GRADUAÃÃO: VALIDANDO RELAÃÃES COM O CONCEITO PRELIMINAR DE CURSOS (CPC) / QUALITY MANAGEMENT ACADEMIC AND TEACHING IN UNDERGRADUATE COURSES: Validating RELATIONS WITH THE CONCEPT OF PRELIMINARY COURSES (CPC)

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / O presente trabalho abordou a temÃtica da qualidade do ensino universitÃrio brasileiro. Para tal, buscou identificar a associaÃÃo que hà entre a qualidade da gestÃo e da docÃncia em cursos de graduaÃÃo, com os resultados do Conceito Preliminar de Cursos (CPC). A avaliaÃÃo da qualidade dos cursos de graduaÃÃo foi tratada com o auxilio do modelo conhecido pelo anagrama CIPP â contexto, insumos (inputs), processos e produtos (outputs), o qual abrange os momentos de planejamento e estruturaÃÃo das decisÃes, implementaÃÃo e reciclagem das decisÃes. Para cada um desses momentos existe uma forma especÃfica para avaliaÃÃo: (1) - avaliaÃÃo do contexto; (2) â avaliaÃÃo dos insumos (input); (3) â avaliaÃÃo de processos e, finalmente, (4) â avaliaÃÃo do produto. A presente pesquisa foi desenvolvida em uma amostra de 35 cursos de graduaÃÃo da Universidade Federal do Cearà (UFC), que possuem CPC, de um universo de 112 cursos, divididos em Grupo Inferior ( CPC &#8804; 2 ), Grupo Mediano ( 2 < CPC &#8804; 3 ) e Grupo Superior ( CPC > 3 ). Foi enviado um e-mail-grupo para 16.383 alunos regularmente matriculados nos 35 cursos, obtendo-se 1.433 respondentes ao questionÃrio de avaliaÃÃo da qualidade da docÃncia e 1.178 respondentes ao questionÃrio de avaliaÃÃo de qualidade da gestÃo acadÃmica. Os resultados indicaram existir associaÃÃo positiva entre a qualidade do curso e as notas do CPC. Com relaÃÃo à gestÃo acadÃmica, foi verificado que do grupo inferior para o grupo mediano houve uma associaÃÃo positiva, entretanto do grupo mediano para o grupo superior, houve um decrÃscimo em termos de qualidade avaliada pelos discentes, demonstrando baixa qualidade da gestÃo acadÃmica nos cursos de excelÃncia. No caso da docÃncia, apurou-se que o planejamento pedagÃgico foi muito bem avaliado, ocorrendo o inverso na atuaÃÃo docente e em sala de aula. Como indicaÃÃo de trabalhos futuros temos: a) aprofundar investigaÃÃo acerca da execuÃÃo da atuaÃÃo docente em sala de aula e b) averiguar o motivo da baixa qualidade da gestÃo nos cursos de excelÃncia. / This study addressed the issue of the teachinig quality of university level. To this end, we sought to identify the association that exists between the quality of management and teaching in undergraduate courses, with the results of the Concept Preliminary of Course (CPC). Assessing the quality of undergraduate courses was treated using the aid of the model known by the anagram CIPP - context, inputs, processes and products, which covers the phases of planning and decision structuring, implementation and decisions recycling. For each of these moments there is a specific way of assessing it: (1) â Context evaluation; (2) â Inputs evaluation (input); (3) - Process evaluation and, finally, (4) â Product evaluation. This research was conducted on a sample of 35 undergraduate courses of the Federal University of Cearà (UFC), who possesses CPC, of a universe of 112 courses, divided into Lower Group ( CPC &#8804; 2 ), Average Group (2 < CPC &#8804; 3), and Superior Group ( CPC > 3 ). It was sent an email for 16,383 students regularly enrolled in the 35 courses sampled, yielding 1,433 respondents to the questionnaire for evaluating the teaching quality, and 1,178 respondents to the evaluation of academic management quality questionnaire. The results indicated that there is a positive association between the course quality and the CPC scores. With relation to academic management, it was found that the lower to the middle group there was a positive association, however from the median to the upper group, it was identified a decrease in the quality evaluated by students, demonstrating low management quality in academic courses of excellence. In the case of teaching, it was found that pedagogical planning was highly rated, while the opposite occurred in the classroom teaching practice. As an indication to future work are listed: a) further research on the implementation of classroom teaching practice, and b) investigate the reason for the identified low quality for the management in courses of excellence.
