A metodologia do ensino superior e a sua significação para a formação do professor de ensino superior feita nos cursos de mestrado em educação

A formação dos docentes para o magistério superior é uma das funções dos Cursos de Mestrado. Na pesquisa das condições em que se desenvolve a formação do professor de Ensino Superior nos Cursos de Mestrado em Educação, identificam-se. entre outras disciplinas básicas, algumas especificamente didáticas: a Metodologia do Ensino Superior no IESAE/cMEd, a Didática do Ensino Superior na UFRJ/CMEd e a Metodologia Didática na PUC/CMEd. Verifica-se não serem obrigatórias essas disciplinas para todos os mestrandos, fato que leva a supor serem suas funções insuficientemente definidas na estrutura curricular desses Cursos, no tocante ã formação do docente. Julgando-se desempenharem essas disciplinas uma mesma função na formação do professor, precisamente daquele que se destina ao magistério superior, supõe-se que a falta de definição do papel por ela desempenhado no currículo dos mestrandos em Educação resulta da imprecisão dos termos Metodologia do Ensino Superior, Didática do Ensino Superior e Metodologia Didática. Esta imprecisão é constatada ao examinar-se a literatura especializada e ao analisar-se as respostas dos mestrandos que cursaram estas disciplinas e que as lecionaram. Os resultados das reflexões dos professores feitas conduziram a opção da Metodologia do Ensino Superior como disciplina eminentemente formativa do docente para este nível de ensino, por considerá-la mais abrangente do que as demais. Pelo mesmo motivo, defende-se sua obrigatoriedade de no currículo de todos os mestrandos em Educação. Caracteriza-se a MES pela interdisciplinar idade, definindo-a como método de trabalho reflexivo, tico e elaborativo que possibilita ao professor de Ensino Superior conduzir adequadamente o processo ensino-aprendizagem. o trabalho consta de duas etapas: a fundamentação teórica e a pesquisa de campo. Na primeira foram feitas: a revisão da literatura, a definição da função da Metodologia do Ensino Superior na formação dos professores e o estudo analítico dos programas das disciplinas Metodologia do Ensino Superior, Didática do Ensino Superior e Metodologia Didática. A pesquisa de campo consiste em aplicação de questionários e entrevistas. o universo da pesquisa compõe-se de todos os mestrandos que cursaram as disciplinas Metodologia de Ensino Superior, Didática do Ensino Superior e Metodologia Didática, dos professores destas disciplinas e dos Coordenadores dos Cursos de Mestrado em Educação do IESAE, da UFRJ e da PUC, respectivamente(1976). Os pressupostos e questionamentos que orientam a pesquisa referem-se à imprecisão conceitual da Metodologia do Ensino Superior e a seu papel indefinido na formação do professor de Ensino Superior.

Práticas de letramento digital de professores em formação: demandas, saberes e impactos

Over the last decades, the digital inclusion public policies have significantly invested in the purchase of hardwares and softwares in order to offer technology to the Brazilian public teaching institutions, specifically computers and broadband Internet. However, the teachers education to handle these artefacts is put away, even though there is some demand from the information society. With that, this dissertation chooses as an object of study the digital literacy practices performed by 38 (thirty-eight) teachers in initial and continuous education by means of the extension course Literacies and technologies: portuguese language teaching and cyberculture demands. In this direction, we aim at investigating the digital literacy practices of developing teachers in three specific moments: before, while and after this extension action with the intent to (i) delineate the digital literacy practices performed by the collaborators before the formative action; (ii) to narrate the literacy events made possible by the extension course; (iii) to investigate the contributions of the education course to the collaborators teaching practice. We sought theoretical contributions in the literacy studies (BAYNHAM, 1995; KLEIMAN, 1995; HAMILTON; BARTON; IVANIC, 2000), specifically when it comes to digital literacy (COPE, KALANTZIS, 2000; BUZATO, 2001, 2007, 2009; SNYDER, 2002, 2008; LANKSHEAR & KNOBEL, 2002, 2008) and teacher education (PERRENOUD, 2000; SILVA, 2001). Methodologically, this virtual ethnography study (KOZINETS, 1997; HINE, 2000) is inserted into the field of Applied Linguistics and adopts a quali-quantitative research approach (NUNAN, 1992; DÖRNYEI, 2006). The data analysis permitted to evidentiate that (i) before the course, the digital literacy practices focused on the personal and academic dimensions of their realities at the expense of the professional dimension; (ii) during the extension action, the teachers collaboratively took part in the hybrid study sessions, which had a pedagogical focus on the use of ICTs, accomplishing the use of digital literacy practices - unknown before that; (iii) after the course, the attitude of the collaborator teachers concerning the use of ICTs on their regular professional basis had changed, once those teachers started to effectively make use of them, promoting social visibility to what was produced in the school. We also observed that teachers in initial education acted as more experienced peers in collaborative learning process, offering support scaffolding (VYGOTSKY, 1978; BRUNER, 1985) to teachers in continuous education. This occurred because of the undergraduates actualize digital literacy practices were more sophisticated, besides the fact being integrate generation Y (PRENSKY, 2001)

Narrativas de professores em formação sobre a didatização de podcasts para o ensino de inglês na floresta

Considering the following conditions: (1) the fluency demands of students in an undergraduate program in Languages and Literatures/English in the Amazon region; (2) the listening and speaking needs of pre-service teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL); (3) my continuing education as a professor of EFL and my academic literacy as a teacher-researcher and pre-service-teacher trainer, this study, which is based on Narrative Inquiry, reports on a teacher experience of working didactically with oral genres through podcasting an activity that emerged with the advent of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Through this process, I engage with some theorists who promote teaching as a process that is driven by a concept of language as social practice. Subsequently, I make use of the notions of context of culture and context of situation, derived from Systemic Functional Linguistics, as well as the concept of genre and register derived from the perspective of this theory. Based on these principles and beliefs, the Amazon region constitutes the register (situation) of the genres used in this study. These principles also provide, opportunities for building learning strategies appropriate to this local context, and also to teach listening and speaking skills from a task-based approach. During the experience, based on the reflective teacher-education model, the participants produced narratives about the process, which I then analyzed according to Ely, Vinz, Downing and Anzul (2001), who propose possibilities of composing meanings in Narrative Inquiry. Based on this perspective, I discuss the following topics, which were highly emphasized in the participants narratives: the lack of didactic activities using oral genres; the relevance of context within teacher education; and collaborative work as a strategy to overcome gaps in digital literacy, language fluency and teaching skills. The meanings I thereby compose point to a paradigm shift in English language teaching within this context. I also argue for a pedagogical practice that is engaged with historical and socio-cultural issues, and with the development of language skills, also one that promotes the implementation of ICTs at the very start of teacher training programs, adopting teaching and learning strategies that correspond to the demands of fluency in this particular context, and deficiencies imposed by geographical isolation

Professores em formação: o momento da prática de ensino e a relação entre estagiários e professores-colaboradores

O tema Prática de Ensino, Estágio Curricular Supervisionado tem sido discutido na literatura brasileira desde o século XX, ora criticando-se a Didática, ora questionando-se a Formação dos Professores. Observa-se que não há nas políticas públicas menção sobre a formação do professor-colaborador com relação à sua preparação ou orientação, constituindo-se no problema desse estudo. Parte-se do pressuposto de que “a teoria da formação que fundamenta a prática pedagógica do professor da Educação Básica não é a mesma que fundamenta a formação inicial na universidade” e/ou que “a falta de um projeto mais amplo da formação dos formadores impedem um trabalho independente e mais objetivo”. Dessa forma objetiva-se: (a) averiguar a concepção que os estagiários têm de escola, socialização profissional e estágio no processo de aquisição da experiência de ensino por ocasião da implementação da Prática de Ensino, considerando como temas centrais a passagem de estudante-estagiário a professor-principiante; (b) identificar nos relatórios de estágio as dificuldades assinaladas, bem como as descobertas relativas à docência no que concerne aos estágios e (c) analisar as concepções que os professores das escolas se utilizam para orientar, formar e avaliar os estagiários durante o processo de estágio. Na busca dos resultados escolheu-se a pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, do tipo construcionismo social, tendo na fonte documental, na entrevista semi-estruturada e na análise de conteúdo as técnicas escolhidas. No que tange aos estagiários, encontramos que estes, no momento em que entram em contato com a prática profissional, sentem insegurança e dificuldades com relação ao fazer pedagógico. Com relação aos professorescolaboradores, observamos que há a necessidade de uma formação neste sentido, dessa forma, encontramos... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Formação acadêmica e produção científica docente em descrição arquivística: um estudo a partir dos cursos de graduação em arquivologia do Brasil

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)

Principais modificações na pós-graduação no Brasil e suas implicações na qualidade de vida dos professores universitários

This work aimed to point out the major changes in post-graduation and their implications on professor's well-being. For this proposal, exploratory research was carried out using books and periodicals, indexed in SciELO and Web of Science. We tried to emphasize research published in the last decade. The subject is difficult to bound, as the definition of quality of life itself depends on geographical and cultural aspects. Thus, the main aspects that surround this controversial issue were selected, with no claim to exhaust it. It is pretty clean that university managers believe that the university must meet the productivist requirements. Therefore, university and undergraduate, which in the recent past were spaces of thinking, became a series production space. In this scenario it is not enough pure research and long-term, but the rapid and direct research. Also, some studies already show the relationship between the work of public universities and health issues. It is believed that the deleterious relationship between the productivist pressure and the teacher's quality of life will be quite evident in a near future

Representações de conteúdo inseridos no plano de ensino de professores em formação continuada

A partir de um curso com abordagem interdisciplinar contemplando as áreas: Química, Física e Ciências Biológicas, solicitou-se aos professores de Química a elaboração de Planos de Ensino, sobre o tema Equilíbrio Químico. O objetivo foi construir uma análise das representações de conteúdo (CoRe) no planejamento. A pesquisa realizada caracteriza-se como qualitativa descritiva e a análise foi realizada com base na análise de conteúdo. Inicialmente os professores apresentavam preocupação com relação à memorização dos conceitos pelos alunos. Ao final, pode-se perceber uma ligeira mudança no discurso dos professores e sua postura valoriza a compreensão dos conceitos relacionados ao conteúdo, e os conhecimentos prévios dos alunos como requisitos de aprendizagem.

Reflexões a respeito da educação a distância: a visão de professores em formação continuada

The study aimed to analyze the vision of teachers in conducting a continuing education course in level of expertise in the field of special education, focusing on Global Development Disorders, through the modality of distance education. The current study was provided by the Network Program São Paulo Teacher Training - REDEFOR in partnership with Universidade Estadual Paulista-UNESP, for teachers of the state of São Paulo. The survey went through some steps, namely: a) literature review a brief history of Distance Education in Brazil and in the world thus seeking to understand their development to the present day, including legislation that regulates; b) study and survey of potential and limiting factors for distance education in teacher training. Was observed of initial and continuing teacher education in the distance mode, focusing on education and training policies implemented by the state of São Paulo, in recent years; c) data collection with 33 teachers in the continuing education process, e-mail and performed with the use of Google Drive tool that enabled the creation of online search form; d) organization, analysis and interpretation of data and its consequences. Through the results it observed that distance education is considered a favorable mode of education for the continuing education of teachers. The course was offered via Moodle and tools were considered easy to assimilate and elaborate activities in general, favored the construction of knowledge, and some questioned for its effectiveness. It follows therefore, that distance education provides continuing education for teachers, but it is necessary in the preparation of these courses is taken into consideration the tools and resources available in their construction, contributing to a dynamic and interactive model between all participants in which the exchange of experiences, questions, doubts, can effectively contribute to the construction of knowledge and possible developments in..
