No. of bitstreams: 1 Luana Serra Elias Tavares.pdf: 7112984 bytes, checksum: 94e56fc00fcc824c030a72640e9d2dc3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-12-17 / The present study intend for investigating if the coordinating teacher practice their professional authorship when they act as a literacy teacher trainer, from a perspective of the "Reading and Writing Program" (SEE-SP). It aims to do research, in the coordinating teachers´ eyes, how much literacy this public policy action, configured as a student obligatory program, invests on the autonomy construction of this subject as a teachers trainer, as well as comprehend the training choices prioritized by himself in the foundation of literacy teachers (teaching contents, strategies, planning process, socialization, knowledge mediation, among others). In this sense the study adopts a methodological approach, relied on a quality content analysis technique (BARDIN, 2011) and uses collecting information instruments as a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. It still makes the use of the official and technical type of documentation analysis, like the registration of formative guidelines performed by people mentioned before. From an exploratory study aiming to raise the profile of the subjects totality (75 coordinating teachers), were elected three professionals who work with their technical documents and then the interviews. The theoretical reference this study is based on are: Nóvoa (1991, 1995, 2002, 2007, 2009), Foucault (1992, 1996, 2006, 2012), Ball (1994, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008) and Contreras (2002), for bringing reflections that found and lay the foundation on this discussion, and Bardin (2011), in the material analysis obtained from the interviews. As the results, the study certifies that the demanded space for an acting, in fact, autonomous, is restricted by the limits imposed by the policy that rules the Reading and Writing Program. It becomes evident, the presence of a power relationship that this policy inserts in the educational systems, promoting people that auto-regulate themselves and complete mutually. Although the official speech and the studied subjects defend the professional autonomy, the investigation shows up the opposing fact it has been researched between reproduction versus authorship needs to be relativized, once it is not possible to polarize this reality, as well as it becomes clear the utopia of thinking about an absolute autonomy or in a total reproduction. / A presente pesquisa destina-se a investigar se o professor coordenador exerce sua autoria profissional, quando atua como formador de professores alfabetizadores, a partir da perspectiva do "Programa Ler e Escrever" (SEE-SP). Objetiva pesquisar, pelo olhar do professor coordenador, o quanto essa ação de política pública, configurada como um programa obrigatório de alfabetização dos alunos, investe na construção da autonomia desse sujeito como formador de professores; bem como compreender as escolhas formativas priorizadas por ele na formação de professores alfabetizadores (didatização de conteúdos, estratégias usadas, processo de planejamento, socialização e mediação de conhecimentos, entre outros). Nesse sentido, a pesquisa adota uma abordagem metodológica de caráter qualitativo, a partir da análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011) e usa instrumentos de coletas de dados como o questionário e as entrevistas semiestruturadas. Apoia-se, ainda, na análise documental do tipo oficial e do tipo técnico, como os registros de pautas formativas realizadas pelos sujeitos em questão. A princípio, realizou-se uma pesquisa exploratória com o objetivo de levantar um perfil da totalidade dos sujeitos (75 professores coordenadores). A partir disso, foram selecionados três sujeitos com os quais trabalhar seus documentos técnicos e, posteriormente, realizar as entrevistas. Os referenciais teóricos que sustentam essa pesquisa são: Nóvoa (1991, 1995, 2002, 2007, 2009), Foucault (1992, 1996, 2006, 2012), Ball (1994, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008) e Contreras (2002), por trazerem reflexões que fundamentam e alicerçam tal discussão, e Bardin (2011), na análise do material que colhido a partir das entrevistas. Como resultados, a pesquisa constatou que o espaço requerido para uma atuação, de fato, autônoma, é restringido pelos limites impostos pela política que rege o Programa Ler e Escrever. Evidencia-se, ainda, a presença de uma relação de poder que tal política insere nos sistemas educacionais, promovendo sujeitos que se autorregulam e que competem mutuamente. Embora o discurso oficial e os próprios sujeitos pesquisados defendam a autonomia profissional, a investigação mostra que o contraponto que se buscava entre reprodução X autoria precisa ser relativizado, já que não é possível polarizar essa realidade, bem como evidencia-se a utopia de pensar em uma autonomia absoluta ou em uma reprodução total.

This short story collection includes five original works of fiction, three of which make up a trilogy titled "The World Drops Beneath You," which follows the life of James McClellan from 1969 in Texas until roughly 2009, when he is struggling to care for his wife, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. One of the two remaining stories, "She Loved Him When He Looked Like Elvis," prominently features James McClellan's parents and is set approximately eight years before the start of the trilogy. Each of the stories is concerned with blue-collar families trying to make their way in postindustrial America and the forces that buffet them, including some brought on by the choices they make.

<p>  </p> <p>The highly diverse character of US universities provides an opportunity for writing programs to (re)examine the extent to which their current administrative, curricular, and pedagogical practices support a growing student population with unique linguistic, cultural, and educational backgrounds, resources, and needs. This dissertation research aimed to explores the ways in which writing programs address the increasing diversity in writing pedagogy education, as a key component of writing program administration work. The main goal of this research was to investigate how writing program administrators and teacher educators in my study context represent our current reality regarding engagement with the increased linguistic and cultural diversity in the activity of teaching to the newest members of the writing program, i.e., graduate teaching assistants. Analyses of data collected through semi-structured interviews and educational materials suggest that while issues surrounding diversity and multilingual students have been addressed in writing pedagogy education, there is still room for more work, especially integrative, (trans)disciplinary diversity work that will help turn the graduate composition practicum, as the main context for writing pedagogy education in writing programs, into a space where new writing teachers can navigate diversity in order to learn how to actively engage with and pedagogically respond to it in their writing instruction in the era of superdiversity. </p>

We present first a theoretical approach on child development , conceptions of childhood and play. Also our studies on mathematics in early childhood and the difficulties encountered in working on mathematical literacy and inclusion of meaningful activities that allow the construction of the concept of number by children . This study attempts to print meaning to the knowledge needed for school children , in the relations of learning mathematical concepts and implications for the continuity of the same in the early years of elementary school. Participated as research subjects a teacher Cluster III Childhood Education and her students , a teacher of 1st year of elementary school and curriculum coordinator of the Municipal Education Campinas . Observed episodes of the work of a group of cluster III School of Early Childhood Education . The research problem thus announces : How knowledge / knowledge related to mathematics are developed in early childhood education rooms and how they are perceived by elementary school teachers ? The methodology was qualitative , which were used as methodological resources : 1 ) interviews about the participants' understanding of the work with mathematics in kindergarten , about the contributions of this work for the students of 1st year of elementary school and prospects that such work offers classes for 1st year . ; 2 ) observations of episodes of work with mathematics classroom grouping III . The analysis is given from three categories : Working with mathematics in kindergarten - conceptualization and planning ; Playing in Early Childhood Education - contributions to literacy ; Initial and continuing the teachers of kindergarten and the early years of elementary school - the challenges of mathematics . As a result of this investigation it is possible to say that the actions developed in early childhood education , specifically those related to mathematics , are still poorly considered in the work of the early years of elementary school and that there is still a lot to make efforts with regard to training teachers of kindergarten and the early years of elementary school in order to better prepare them to work with mathematics in these stages of basic education. / Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar e compreender as pr?ticas pedag?gicas da educa??o infantil relacionadas ao desenvolvimento de conceitos matem?ticos com crian?as de cinco anos de uma escola publica municipal de Campinas e os reflexos e aproxima??es dessas pr?ticas no 1? ano do Ensino Fundamental. Apresentamos inicialmente uma revis?o te?rica da abordagem sobre o desenvolvimento infantil, as concep??es de inf?ncia e do brincar. Tamb?m nossos estudos sobre ? matem?tica na inf?ncia e as dificuldades encontradas no trabalho relacionado ao letramento matem?tico e ? inser??o de atividades significativas que possibilitem a constru??o do conceito de n?mero pelas crian?as. Este trabalho buscou imprimir significado aos saberes necess?rios para a escolariza??o infantil, nas rela??es de aprendizagem de conceitos matem?ticos e as implica??es para a continuidade do mesmo nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Participaram como sujeitos da pesquisa uma professora de Agrupamento III da Educa??o Infantil e seus alunos, uma professora de 1? ano do Ensino Fundamental e o coordenador de Curr?culo da Secretaria Municipal de Educa??o de Campinas. Observamos epis?dios dos trabalhos de uma turma de agrupamento III da escola de Educa??o Infantil. O problema de pesquisa assim se anuncia: Como os conhecimentos/saberes relacionados ? matem?tica s?o desenvolvidos em salas de Educa??o Infantil e de que maneira s?o considerados pelos professores do Ensino Fundamental? A metodologia utilizada foi de car?ter qualitativo, onde foram utilizados, como recursos metodol?gicos: 1) entrevistas a respeito da compreens?o dos participantes sobre o trabalho com a matem?tica na Educa??o Infantil; sobre as contribui??es desse trabalho para os alunos do 1? ano do Ensino Fundamental e as perspectivas que tal trabalho oferece para as turmas de 1? ano.; 2) observa??es de epis?dios de trabalho com a matem?tica em sala de agrupamento III. As an?lises se deram a partir de tr?s categorias: O trabalho com matem?tica na Educa??o Infantil concep??es e planejamento; O brincar na Educa??o Infantil contribui??es para a alfabetiza??o; Forma??o inicial e continuada das professoras da Educa??o Infantil e anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental- os desafios da matem?tica. Como resultados desta investiga??o ? poss?vel dizer que as a??es desenvolvidas na Educa??o Infantil, de maneira espec?fica aquelas relacionadas ? matem?tica, ainda s?o pouco consideradas no trabalho dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental e que h? ainda muito o que empreender esfor?os no que se refere ? forma??o de professores da Educa??o Infantil e dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental no sentido de melhor prepara-los para atuar com a matem?tica nestas etapas da educa??o b?sica.

No. of bitstreams: 1 TeseSMRS.pdf: 3084090 bytes, checksum: 6aee9c2500df1b575ccf12e417c40aac (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-02-29 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / The Reading and Writing Program was implemented at state public as a public policy with specific goals: accelerating the literacy process; reverse the academic failure of students without reading and writing appropriation at the end of the cycle I; distribute educational materials in schools; and provide network training for teachers to implement the Program. This study aimed to understand possible contributions to the process of education of students with Intellectual Disabilities in the teaching perspective. The qualitative research was based on the interpretation of text and themes for data analysis, held at a public school in a medium-sized city from São Paulo state. Three teachers of common classroom and four students with Intellectual Disability / Down Syndrome participated of this. The instruments were: field diary; Probing; Class Weekly Routine; questionnaire for the participating teachers. The intervention was done in the classroom in two semesters. The results of the document analysis showed that the Reading and Writing Program Guides direct for an activity in the classroom that does not consider students with Intellectual Disabilities, with extreme learning difficulties and with a lag. The questionnaire responses showed that the teachers believe that the Program does not meet the students with Intellectual Disabilities, pointing out the need for previous training and then serve them; lack of teacher training courses to meet the student with Intellectual Disabilities in the inclusive perspective, that would be relevant item. Observations during the intervention showed that: the teachers believed these students could not learn because of the disciplinary aspect caused by intellectual disadvantage; the class routine does not allow for individualized care and; need for an expert professional in the classroom. The Reading and Writing Program uses as one of its instruments the survey, which does not offer a true picture of the classroom; it does not help in the resumption of teacher actions to mediate learning, and therefore, does not generate progress of students who do not reach the alphabetic hypothesis; It does not contribute to the inference of alphabetic level of the student by the teacher, who goes for it of his own criteria. The adapted activities from the Weekly Routine indicate that the Reading and Writing Program contributes to creating an inclusive environment in the classroom, but not enough to promote advances in the acquisition of reading and writing in students with Intellectual Disabilities. The education of students with Intellectual Disabilities, in the public school of São Paulo state, does not meet the legal requirements and propagates a school culture of exclusion. / O Programa Ler e Escrever foi implantado na rede estadual paulista como uma política pública com objetivos específicos: acelerar o processo de alfabetização; reverter o fracasso escolar dos alunos sem apropriação de leitura e escrita ao final do ciclo I; distribuir material didático nas escolas; e oferecer formação em rede aos professores para implementar o Programa. O presente estudo teve como objetivo a compreensão de possíveis contribuições ao processo de escolarização do aluno com Deficiência Intelectual na perspectiva docente. A pesquisa qualitativa teve como base para análise de dados a interpretação de texto e eixos temáticos, tendo sido realizada em uma escola da rede estadual paulista de uma cidade de médio porte. Participaram três professoras de sala de aula comum e quatro alunos com Deficiência Intelectual/Síndrome de Down. Os instrumentos foram: diário de campo; Sondagem; Rotina Semanal da classe; questionário para as professoras participantes. Foi feita a intervenção em sala de aula em dois semestres letivos. Os resultados da análise documental apontaram que os Guias do Programa Ler e Escrever direcionam para um trabalho em sala de aula que não considera os alunos com Deficiência Intelectual, com extremas dificuldades de aprendizagem e com defasagem. As respostas ao questionário demonstraram que as professoras acreditam que o Programa não atende aos alunos com Deficiência Intelectual, apontando necessidade de formação anterior para então atendê-los; escassez de cursos de formação docente para o atendimento ao aluno com Deficiência Intelectual na perspectiva inclusiva, o que seria item relevante. As observações, durante a intervenção, mostraram que: as professoras acreditavam que esses alunos não conseguiam aprender devido ao aspecto disciplinar provocado pela desvantagem intelectual; que a rotina de classe não permite um atendimento individualizado e; que há necessidade de um profissional especialista em sala de aula. O Programa Ler e Escrever utiliza-se como um de seus instrumentos a sondagem, a qual não oferece um retrato fiel da sala de aula; não contribui na retomada de ações de professores para mediar a aprendizagem e, portanto, não gera avanços dos alunos que não alcançam a hipótese alfabética; não contribui para a inferência do nível alfabético do aluno por parte do professor, que se vale para isso de seus próprios critérios. As atividades adaptadas da Rotina Semanal indicam que o Programa Ler e Escrever colabora para a criação um ambiente inclusivo em sala de aula, mas não o suficiente para promover avanços em termos de aquisição de leitura e escrita nos alunos com Deficiência Intelectual. A escolarização dos alunos com Deficiência Intelectual, na escola estadual paulista, não atende aos preceitos legais e propaga uma cultura escolar de exclusão.

This thesis examines the context in which Advanced Placement (AP) English policies are made, examining the political and economic realities that impact policy decisions as well as the discipline-based critiques of the AP English program which have led many writing program administrators (WPAs) and faculty to question existing credit and placement policies. Recent efforts to dramatically expand the AP program have left many questioning whether the AP English experience actually fulfills the promises suggested by the program. After reviewing current literature relating to AP English, this thesis examines the findings of an empirical study conducted at BYU. The study evaluates the outcomes of AP English based on student writing in an actual college setting, focusing on the predictive validity of AP exam scores. Conclusions are drawn from the findings of the study and the review of literature. Recommendations are made for evaluating and designing AP policies that respond sensitively and fairly to all the stakeholders while encouraging WPAs and interested faculty to actively define the role of AP English within the college curriculum.
