Relatório de estágio: que desafios(s) para a avaliação das aprendizagens? uma análise a partir de um mestrado em educação pré-escolar numa Escola Superior de Educação

A formação profissional, nomeadamente a formação profissionalizante (2ºCiclo de Estudos no âmbito de Bolonha) tem vindo a ser alvo de discussão entre as diferentes áreas do conhecimento, nomeadamente no que respeita às possíveis metodologias de avaliação a adotar (práticas profissionais supervisionadas, elaboração de portefólios individuais, realização de trabalhos de grupo com acompanhamento tutorial, redação de Relatórios de Estágio, entre outras). A presente comunicação tem como principal objetivo discutir e analisar as conceções dos educadores de infância recém-formados acerca da educação de infância e das aprendizagens realizadas no âmbito da Prática Profissional Supervisionada (PPS), através da análise dos Relatórios de Estágio elaborados no âmbito do Mestrado em Educação Pré-Escolar de uma escola superior de educação, especificamente os que dizem respeito a um grupo de mestrandos dos anos letivos 2010-2011, 2011-2012 e 2012-2013. Nesta análise, serão privilegiados os seguintes eixos: i) a caracterização reflexiva do contexto socioeducativo; ii) a análise reflexiva da intervenção; iii) as considerações finais realizadas. Pretende-se, a partir desta análise, identificar e compreender os potenciais desafios (que elementos e critérios de avaliação? Como caracterizar, de forma reflexiva, um determinado contexto socioeducativo?) trazidos ao processo de avaliação das aprendizagens dos mestrandos do curso em questão. O quadro teórico de referência centra-se numa revisão de literatura sobre a formação profissional dos educadores de infância e sobre a avaliação das aprendizagens dos adultos. A metodologia utilizada, de natureza qualitativa, inclui análise documental (objetivos do curso, perfil profissional de saída, guião para a elaboração dos Relatórios de Estágio), e a subsequente análise de conteúdo. Os resultados obtidos apontam para asseguintes conclusões: se por um lado, todos (12) os mestrandos do estudo seguiram, escrupulosamente, o guião fornecido pela equipa de docentes da Prática Profissional Supervisionada para a elaboração dos Relatórios de Estágio, por outro lado e no que se relaciona com a caracterização reflexiva do contexto socioeducativo, a análise reflexiva da intervenção e as considerações finais realizadas, constata-se que existem diferenças significativas na estrutura organizativa do discurso escrito, na escolha do quadro teórico de referência bem como nas reflexões pessoais realizadas. Enquanto que os mestrandos (5) do ano letivo 2010-2011 demonstram ter optado por construir um quadro teórico de referência ancorado, preferencialmente, por referências bibliográficas relacionadas com a Educação de Infância e facultadas pela equipa de docentes do mestrado em estudo, os mestrandos do ano letivo 2011-2012 (3) optaram por recorrer a um quadro teórico de referência mais alargado e abrangente, no qual se pode verificar, também, a existência de uma consulta e análise documental frequente sobre a legislação em vigor para o âmbito da Educação de Infância. Por sua vez, os mestrandos que terminaram a sua formação no ano letivo 2012-2013 (4) demonstraram, na elaboração dos seus relatórios de estágio, uma preocupação e intenção claras em dar resposta a todas as questões colocadas, fazendo emergir algumas questões de fundo: 1) por que razão os relatórios de estágio analisados apresentam diferenças significativas nas aprendizagens realizadas pelos mestrandos em estudo? 2) Quais as possíveis razões para estas diferenças? 3) Que aprendizagens realizaram estes mestrandos e quais foram as mais significativas? Estes são alguns dos possíveis desafios colocados à avaliação das aprendizagens.

Recruitment and retention incentives in health labour markets: an analysis of participation in NHS Scotland following Dental Vocational

This paper uses a unique individual level administrative data set to analyse the participation of health professionals in the NHS after training. The data set contains information on over 1,000 dentists who received Dental Vocational Training in Scotland between 1995 and 2006. Using a dynamic nonlinear panel data model, we estimate the determinants of post-training participation. We nd there is signi cant persistence in these data and are able to show that the persistence arises from state dependence and individual heterogeneity. This finding has implications for the structure of policies designed to increase participation rates. We apply this empirical framework to assess the accuracy of predictions for workforce forecasting, and to provide a preliminary estimate of the impact of one of the recruitment and retention policies available to dentists in Scotland.

Gestaltpädagogische Elemente in der Berufspädagogik. Potentielle Erträge gestaltpädagogischer Ansätze für die berufliche Bildung. Konzepte, Fundierung, Realisierungsformen.

Gestaltpädagogische Elemente in der Berufspädagogik Potentielle Erträge gestaltpädagogischer Ansätze für die berufliche Bildung - Konzepte, Fundierung, Realisierungsformen - Zusammenfassung: Berufsausbilder, Berufsschullehrer und Trainer in der Aus- und Weiterbildung werden heute mit vielfältigen Veränderungen konfrontiert. Aufgrund des Technikeinsatzes zeigt sich in vie-len Unternehmen ein Wandel der beruflich organisierten Arbeit. Die wirtschaftlichen, techni-schen und sozialen Systemzusammenhänge werden zunehmend komplexer, dynamischer, enger vernetzt und normativ unbestimmter. Die technologische Entwicklung, vor allem der Kommunikationsmedien, hat eine Temposteigerung der Informationsübermittlung zur Folge, die gleichzeitig das Wissen erhöht. Mit der Forderung nach Schlüsselqualifikationen und der Wiederentdeckung ganzheitlicher Arbeitssituationen ist das Bestreben nach Bildungskonzep-ten verbunden, die mit der Herausbildung von Kompetenzen, wie vernetztes, system- und handlungsbezogenes Denken in komplexen Kontexten, Abstraktionsvermögen, systemati-sches Verständnis von Organisationsinterdependenzen, Selbstständigkeit, Selbstverantwor-tung, soziale, methodische und kommunikative Kompetenz und Innovationskraft korrespon-dieren. Unter dem Blickwinkel der Gestaltpädagogik fällt auf, dass die Berufspädagogik Methoden und Techniken in der betrieblichen Aus- und Weiterbildung nutzt, die wesentliche Elemente der Gestaltpädagogik enthalten. Eine konkrete theoretische Fundierung und Einbettung in die Berufspädagogik fehlt jedoch bisher. Die primäre Zielsetzung der Arbeit ist, die theoretischen Grundlagen der Gestaltpädagogik herauszuarbeiten und sie mit der Berufspädagogik in Verbindung zu bringen. An Beispielen wird aufgezeigt, wie gestaltpädagogische Aspekte in die betriebliche Aus- und Weiterbildung einfließen. Dabei werden unter anderem auch die Grenzen und Potentiale der Gestaltpädago-gik für die Berufspädagogik betrachtet. Die theoretische und praktische Relevanz der Arbeit ergibt sich daraus, dass erstmals berufs-pädagogische Vorgehensweisen der Praxis im Hinblick auf gestaltpädagogische Aspekte un-tersucht wurden. Die wesentlichen Forschungsergebnisse dieser Arbeit lassen sich wie folgt zusammenfassen: In der betrieblichen Aus- und Weiterbildung kommen Methoden und Vorgehensweisen zum Einsatz, die oberflächlich betrachtet gestaltpädagogischen Charakter haben. Jedoch werden die gestaltpädagogischen Grundgedanken, wie z.B. eine ganzheitlich umfassende Persönlich-keitsentwicklung, persönlich bedeutsames Lernen, Förderung der sozialen Interaktionsfähig-keit oder die Förderung der Autonomie in der betrieblichen Bildungsarbeit auf ein Minimum reduziert. Die gestaltpädagogischen Methoden und Vorgehensweisen werden überwiegend auf ökonomische Zwecke hin ausgerichtet und funktionalisiert eingesetzt. Man kann sagen, dass sich die betriebliche Praxis mit der Aneinanderreihung von kreativen Übungen zufrieden gibt, und eine Tendenz zu erlebnisaktivierenden Vorgehensweisen zu erkennen ist.

Actitudes hacia el VIH/SIDA, el cáncer y la enfermedad de Alzheimer

Esta revisión de la literatura tuvo como objetivo describir las actitudes hacia el VIH/SIDA, el cáncer y la Enfermedad de Alzheimer desde el modelo tripartito. Se revisaron 109 artículos publicados entre 2005 y 2015 en algunas bases de datos especializadas y herramientas de análisis de impacto. También se incluyeron fuentes secundarias ampliándose la búsqueda a los últimos 20 años (1995-2015). Los resultados mostraron que la mayoría de los estudios realizados sobre las actitudes hacia estas tres enfermedades son de tipo cuantitativo y la información se analizó con base en los componentes del modelo tripartito. Algunos aspectos sociodemográficos como el sexo y la edad están asociados con las actitudes hacia las tres enfermedades y predominan las creencias erróneas sobre ellas respecto a sus causas, curso y tratamiento. También predominan actitudes negativas hacia las tres enfermedades y las conductas e intenciones conductuales son diversas hacia cada una de ellas. No se hallaron antecedentes empíricos del estudio de la estructura de las actitudes propuesta por el modelo tripartito hacia las tres enfermedades. La Salud Pública ha liderado la investigación con base en el modelo de conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas propuesto por la OMS.

Museum Training Institute: Kershaw House, 55 Well Street, Bradford, BD1 5PS Britain’s system of vocational training and qualifications has been undergoing a fundamental revolution in recent years. The single most important feature of this revolution is the concept of competence - the ability to perform to the standards required in employment. It is in recognition of this ability that National and Scottish Vocational Qualifications are awarded.

Construção de uma nova profissionalidade docente das equipas pedagógicas dos cursos de educação e formação através da sua transformação em comunidades de aprendizagem profissional

O sistema educativo e formativo português tem vindo a mudar significativamente, devido ao fenómeno da globalização e às exigências da sociedade do conhecimento. Com efeito, os desafios de uma economia mais dinâmica e competitiva, baseada no conhecimento requerem a definição de novas políticas educativas. Os objetivos de aumentar a equidade e a oportunidade de educação para todos os alunos e de combater o abandono e o insucesso escolar conduziram à implementação, em Portugal, de algumas medidas que envolvam os jovens em programas de formação, tais como os cursos de educação e formação (CEF). É no seio deste novo e complexo contexto educativo que colocamos a relevante questão: como podem as equipas pedagógicas dos cursos de educação e formação responder, adequadamente, às exigências de atuação neste tipo de percurso diversificado de formação? A natureza dos constantes constrangimentos que os professores enfrentam permitiu-nos concluir que estes têm de trabalhar sobre a sua própria capacidade de mudança, de forma a responderem a todas estas crescentes demandas, pelo que, neste sentido, a mudança assume-se como uma extraordinária oportunidade de desenvolvimento profissional. Esta construção de capacidade ou reculturing (Fullan, 2007) é o resultado de várias adaptações e decisões, tomadas pelos professores, colaborativamente como comunidades de aprendizagem profissional (CAP). Na verdade, nas CAP os docentes estão moral e intelectualmente comprometidos com a melhoria, a inovação e a sustentabilidade da educação, por conseguinte elas não são apenas um meio de melhorar os resultados dos alunos e de aumentar as suas aprendizagens, como são, também, o processo mais eficaz de implicar os docentes no desenvolvimento profissional contínuo, profundamente ligado à ação. Consequentemente, no sentido de transformar as equipas pedagógicas em comunidades de aprendizagem profissional apresentamos um projeto de formação que se concretizará através da implementação de um círculo de estudos, no contexto escolar, que pretende assegurar o desenvolvimento e a atualização dos conhecimentos e competências dos professores dos CEF e melhorar a qualidade e eficácia da aprendizagem e da prática docente. As expectativas em relação aos resultados desta formação são bastante elevadas e alicerçam-se na recetividade e disponibilidade demonstradas, por todos os professores dos CEF, para participarem neste projeto de formação.

Supply, demand and a failure of understanding: addressing the culture clash between archaeologists' expectations for training and employment in 'academia' versus 'practice

A university degree is effectively a prerequisite for entering the archaeological workforce in the UK. Archaeological employers consider that new entrants to the profession are insufficiently skilled, and hold university training to blame. But university archaeology departments do not consider it their responsibility to deliver fully formed archaeological professionals, but rather to provide an education that can then be applied in different workplaces, within and outside archaeology. The number of individuals studying archaeology at university exceeds the total number working in professional practice, with many more new graduates emerging than archaeological jobs advertised annually. Over-supply of practitioners is also a contributing factor to low pay in archaeology. Steps are being made to provide opportunities for vocational training, both within and outside the university system, but archaeological training and education within the universities and subsequently the archaeological labour market may be adversely impacted upon by the introduction of variable top-up student fees.

'What with your grades?': Students motivation for and experience of vocational courses in further education

In this article we seek to explore the motivations for studying a vocational qualification of 40 students currently in further education. We consider student decision making, in terms of the support and guidance received, and examine the value these students place on their training, particularly with respect to their future employment. Drawing on qualitative data from 40 students we argue that a student’s sense of their educational identity is important in understanding their motivations for vocational training in the first instance as well as a lack of good careers information and guidance.

Education and training futures in horticulture and horticultural science

Horticultural knowledge and skills training have been with humankind for some 10,000 to 20,000 years. With permanent settlement and rising wealth and trade, horticulture products and services became a source of fresh food for daily consumption, and a source of plant material in developing a quality environment and lifestyle. The knowledge of horticulture and the skills of its practitioners have been demonstrated through the advancing civilizations in both eastern and western countries. With the rise of the Agricultural Revolutions in Great Britain, and more widely across Continental Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as the move towards colonisation and early migration to the New Worlds, many westernised countries established the early institutions that would provide education and training in agriculture and horticulture. Today many of these colleges and universities provide undergraduate, postgraduate and vocational and technical training that specifically targets horticulture and/or horticultural science with some research and teaching institutions also providing extension and advisory services to industry. The objective of this chapter is to describe the wider pedagogic and educational context in which those concerned with horticulture operate, the institutional structures that target horticulture and horticultural science education and training internationally; examine changing educational formats, especially distance education; and consider strategies for attracting and retaining young people in the delivery of world-class horticultural education. In this chapter we set the context by investigating the horticultural education and training options available, the constraints that prevent young people entering horticulture, and suggest strategies that would attract and retain these students. We suggest that effective strategies and partnerships be put in place by the institution, the government and most importantly the industry to provide for undergraduate and postgraduate education in horticulture and horticultural science; that educational and vocational training institutions, government, and industry need to work more effectively together to improve communication about horticulture and horticultural science in order to attract enrolments of more and talented students; and that the horticulture curriculum be continuously evaluated and revised so that it remains relevant to future challenges facing the industries of horticulture in the production, environmental and social spheres. These strategies can be used as a means to develop successful programs and case studies that would provide better information to high school career counsellors, improve the image of horticulture and encourage greater involvement from alumni and the industries in recruitment, provide opportunities to improve career aspirations, ensure improved levels of remuneration, and promote the social features of the profession and greater awareness and recognition of the profession in the wider community. A successful career in horticulture demands intellectual capacities which are capable of drawing knowledge from a wide field of basic sciences, economics and the humanities and integrating this into academic scholarship and practical technologies.

Navegando nas ondas dos saberes do ser: uma conversa com a sexualidade à luz da corporeidade.

This study aimed to provide a continuing education towards raising teachers for reflection and effective sexual education within the school environment as a possible route of self-education and training of teachers of elementary school. More specifically aim to facilitate through the Continuing Education to discuss the knowledge of the body and knowledge of human sexuality, presenting them as core knowledge in the integral formation of individuals and promote discussion of a Human-centered education Teaching in a vocational training and human .In this sense, we dialogue with the human teaching preconized by Arroyo (2002, 2004) along with the humanization (hominization) of the individuals through education, under Freire´s perspective of the being more (2003) as well as his ideas, Pineau´s (2003) and Josso´s (2004) about the educational practice understanding as a way to build up the autonomy of the individuals who we intend to educate. We defend the inclusion of the body as an essential learning element according to the principles of corporeity presented by Assman (2001), whose comprehension is that every learning experience has a corporal inscription. Furthermore, the knowledge about human sexuality cannot be excluded from this process since the sexuality is inherent of individuals and is constructed and reconstructed during their existence. Our view of the world and of man is supported by the knowledge of the complexity (Morim, 2004) trying to surpass the mechanist view that sees them through the duality view, fragmenting them. For the discussion and construction of knowledge that search for the confluence of these knowledges about the being and the educational practice, aiming at the individual integral formation starting from the process of self-formation/self-knowledge, we´ve directed our research-action-formation having as compass the theoretical-methodological postulate of the research-action (Barbier, 2002; Morin, 2004; Thiollent, 2004) because it makes the participation of all the involved people in the process of resolution or surpassing of problem solving possible. We´ve used the continuing formation as a way of access for data collection, applying a questionnaire with open questions for the ones involved in the research. Based on the findings it´s been possible to infer that for the teaching formation it is necessary the inclusion of the Human sexuality and corporeity theme, so that the teacher can surpass the biological view of sexuality and also the expansion of the mechanist view of the body. To do so, we suggest that the teaching formation happens supported by the teaching capacitation and formation according to Maturana (2004), bringing teaching knowledges (Tardiff, 2002), which contribute effectively for the responsibility to educate people for life.

A contribuição do estágio supervisionado para a formação reflexiva do pedagogo

This study aims to investigate the contribution of supervised training for training reflective of the students in the service of pedagogy course of the Vocational Training Program for Basic Education - PROFORMAÇÃO Universidade Estadual do Rio Grande do Norte / Campus Avançado Professor João Ismar de Moura - CAJIM Patu City / RN. Based on studies of Schon (2000), Alarcão (2003), Pimenta (1994, 2000), Tardif (2002) Ibiapina (2008) among others have adopted a theoretical framework which have been focusing on studies concerning the formation of the reflective teacher, in perspective also contribute to the professionalization of teachers. The study falls within the qualitative approach of educational research and the methodology chosen has characteristics of a collaborative research. In the process, we used the following instruments: individual and group interview, sitting reflective observation, videoformação, material prescribed personal documents. The relevance of this research is to highlight the contribution of reflexive perspective in the teaching profession for: knowledge of teachers, teacher professional development, relationship between theory and practice, collective work, school and university as a place of training. These findings indicate that: a) the stage for advanced teacher becomes a teacher action research, seeking to (re) signification practices, b) the stage still presents itself as an activity limited to the applicability of the theories, hence the need for dialogic relations between theory and practice in education, requiring their redefinition c) despite experiencing an in-service training, the students still need information to enable them to link theory to practice, but understand its importance, d) a collaborative discussion can be a strategy that encouraged and implemented, is likely to be an alternative to the consolidation of training reflective e) It is important to the collective action of teachers in the school and the university as an opportunity for development of the reflective process f) the students-teachers still do not understand what is reflection and not experiencing it, but realizes the need to change the thinking and way of acting, g) there are conflicts between the teacher's knowledge of the students, teachers and the actions constituting the real, creating contradictions between saying and doing training
