DIFFERENT MEDIA, DIFFERENT TYPES OF COLLECTIVE WORK IN ONLINE CONTINUING TEACHER EDUCATION: WOULD YOU PASS THE PEN, PLEASE?

This paper presents some findings regarding the interaction between different computer interfaces and different types of collective work. We want to claim that design in online learning environments has a paramount role in the type of collaboration that happens among participants. In this paper, we report on data that illustrate how teachers can collaborate online in order to learn how to use geometry software in teaching activities. A virtual environment which allows that construction to be carried out collectively, even if the participants are not sharing a classroom, is the setting for the research presented in this paper.

On-line collaborative learning for in-service teacher education

This article brings some of the results of a study that analyzes a hybrid course for in-service teachers in the Project Teletandem Brazil: foreign languages for all. In this project, Brazilian teachers of Spanish as a foreign language took part in a blended tandem learning course, communicating via videoconferencing with Uruguayan teachers of Portuguese as a foreign language. The aim of the study was to verify Brazilian teachers' concepts and beliefs concerning language and culture and how the teletandem interactions affected them. After the interactions, teachers' views of culture seemed to also incorporate aspects of culture as an interpersonal process, instead of the factual and static view which was previously predominant. Therefore teacher education programs must consider the possibility of conjugating theory and reflective practice through the use of videoconference tools in order to allow teachers to experience culture rather learn facts about it. © 2011 ACADEMY PUBLISHER.

Collaborative language learning in Teletandem: a resource for pre-service teacher education

This article presents some of the results of a qualitative research project about the influences of the pedagogic strategies used by a mediator (graduate student in applied linguistics) in the supervision process of a Teletandem partner (undergraduate student in languages) on her pedagogical practice. It was done within the project Teletandem Brazil: foreign language for all. Based on the reflective teaching paradigm and collaborative language learning, with special emphasis on tandem learning, we analyzed the contributions of the collaborative relationship established between the graduate student and the student-teacher in her first teaching experience. The results bring about implications for the field of language teacher education in a perspective of education within practice, evidencing the experience of collaborative learning in teletandem as an opportunity for reflective teacher education of pre-service teachers.

Parceria intergeracional e formação docente

O artigo focaliza o potencial formativo da parceria intergeracional na formação docente -inicial e continuada -, tendo por pressuposto a existência de uma cultura profissional específica do magistério (JULIA, 2001), o papel dos professores como produtores de saberes sobre o ensino (SHULMAN, 1986; TARDIF; LESSARD; LAHAYE, 1991), bem como a importância da escola como eixo para a formação docente (NÓVOA, 1999; AZANHA, 2000). São apresentados dados sobre um trabalho formativo que, desde 2006, vem sendo desenvolvido na cidade de Rio Claro, reunindo estudantes do curso de Pedagogia da UNESP e professores dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. de acordo com a proposta, futuros professores e professores em exercício atuam como parceiros, em uma relação de colaboração nas atividades docentes. Além da formação profissional dos sujeitos envolvidos, o investimento nessas parcerias tem em vista o desenvolvimento de uma dimensão mais colaborativa no seio da cultura do magistério.

Do trabalho coletivo na escola: encontros na diferença

O presente artigo trata da constituição de um grupo de formação composto por professoras das primeiras séries do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola municipal no interior do Estado de São Paulo. O grupo redefiniu a prática do reforço instituída na escola e assumiu a corresponsabilidade pela aprendizagem dos alunos dessas séries que precisavam de outros tempos para aprender. Esse fato potencializou o empenho conjunto das professoras ao promover um trabalho coletivo para acolher todas as crianças. A dimensão coletiva apareceu quando o grupo, perante os conflitos vividos a partir da prática escolar, tomou consciência deles e definiu objetivos e ações que possibilitaram aos seus alunos aprender. Explicita-se que desenvolver um trabalho coletivo não implica o apagamento das diferenças e considera-se que, com elas, é possível haver coincidência dos objetivos pelos quais os participantes de um grupo trabalham.

Environmental education and the health risk question: how do we educate the educators working with this theme?

Our society is presently seeing a trend of continuous increase of risk with severe consequences, especially those linked to environmental aspects. It has obligated us to reflect on this production and its effects, either positive or negative, and, after a long reflection, to think about the adopted model of civilization and the possibilities of changing such a model. The educational institution is among the social departments responsible for this revision process, since it represents one possibility to promote a more critical vision from society, providing it with tools needed for a more responsible action. However, schools are dominated by a traditional work, which does not allow for enough and proper attention to these relevant and current questions, and which involve a critical analysis of the conceptions and values established by our civilization, resulting in the present patterns of science-technology-society relations and their influence on the environment and health. Several research works have indicated a diversity of barriers that obstruct this necessary change. Since formal education plays an important role in the education of society for this theme, in this paper the possibilities and difficulty dealing with this problem are discussed, focusing on the question of teacher education, based on investigations related to teacher education programs for environmental education. The data collected show the urgency for introducing this theme in teacher training programs, taking into account the fact that educators have their own conceptions, values and attitudes that should be considered in these programs.
