平面几何问题解决过程中的元认知实验研究

This study was based on the cognitive-metacognitive model of mathematical problem solving established by Lester & Garofalo(1985). The method of protocal analysis was used and 19 excellent students(9 male and 10 female) & 19 learning-disabled students(11 male and 8 female) in middle school(grade 3)were tested and interviewed during they solved plane geometry problems. The main results showed as follows: (1) There was a significant difference between excellent students and learning-disabled students on time-assignment when they solved plane geometry problems. Excellent students used more time on phase organization and less time on phase execution. There was no difference on phases orientation and verification. (2) Excellent students showed higher metacognitive level than learning-disabled students. The deference existed in phases orientation and organization. Excellent students reported more metacognitive sentences in phases orientation and organization than learning-disabled students. They had more self-awareness and goal-awareness. They had more "knowledge about what they know" and "knowledge about what they should use". They designed more globle goal and subgoals and made more self-evaluation. (3) Both the excellent students' and learning-disabled students' self-checking level should be improved.

计算机环境下的呈现方式对学生样例学习的影响

This study designed tow experiments to explore the effect of two presentation forms(liner presentation and concept-map navigation presentation)on the student's learning process. Using the method of protocal analysis and the learning path records of these students, the author of this paper further analysed the information-processing process of these students. The main results showed as follows: (1) In the initial study phase, the main effects of both the presentation form and the learner type were obvious, and the interaction effect of these two variables was also obvious. Contrasting with the liner presentation form, the concept map navigation form interfered with the learning process of the student, especially the learning-disabled students. (2) There was a significant difference between excellent students and learning-disabled learning-disabled on self explanations amount. Excellent students produced more self- explanations than learning-disabled students, especially on two phases of learning from the the example and the conclusion. (3) Under the same learning path, the main effect of the learner type variable was obvious, the main effect of the presentation form and interaction effect of these two variables weren't obvious. But the liner presentation grouped still acquired a better result than the concept-map navigation presentation groupe.

¿Barreras invisibles? Actitudes de los estudiantes universitarios ante sus compañeros con discapacidad

El presente trabajo analiza los conocimientos, opiniones y actitudes de los estudiantes universitarios sobre sus compañeros con discapacidad. La integración educativa y social de estos estudiantes es objeto de preocupación y estudio en todo el sistema educativo español, incluida la enseñanza superior en la que 21.942 universitarios con discapacidad se encontraban matriculados en el curso 2013-2014. El estudio se realiza en el marco de dos Proyectos de Innovación Educativa[1] de la Universidad de Málaga en los que se examinaron las actitudes del personal docente e investigador, el alumnado en general y el alumnado con discapacidad de esta institución. En este artículo se recogen las perspectivas de los estudiantes sin discapacidad, necesarias para medir el grado de aceptación dentro de las aulas universitarias. Se empleó una encuesta suministrada mediante correo electrónico a la totalidad de la población de estudiantes de la Universidad de Málaga (N= 32.464). El tamaño de la muestra fue de 620 estudiantes, por lo que trabajamos con un margen de error del 3,9% para la estimación de los porcentajes con un nivel de confianza del 95%. Los datos, analizados mediante análisis estadístico, visibilizan la importancia de un elevado grado de información y conocimiento así como de una experiencia directa con la discapacidad. Ambas circunstancias se traducen en actitudes más positivas y favorables. Tan solo el 20% de los alumnos manifestó haber recibido en alguna ocasión cualquier tipo de información sobre este asunto por parte de la Universidad; no obstante, la mayoría valora positivamente la presencia de alumnos con discapacidad en la Universidad, la posibilidad de contar ellos como compañeros de clase y el enriquecimiento que supone esta convivencia dentro del aula. Se discuten posibles acciones para mejorar las actitudes hacia los estudiantes con discapacidad. Además, se plantea incluir una perspectiva que promueva el empoderamiento de estos estudiantes.

A atitude dos professores em relação às vantagens da educação inclusiva

À medida que a escola pretende cada vez mais inserir no seu seio todos os alunos, independentemente das suas características e necessidades, coloca-se um grande desafio para as instituições escolares: educar estes alunos de forma adequada. Nos últimos anos, o conceito de Inclusão foi sofrendo uma grande evolução, tendo como principio fulcral o ajuste das necessidades de aprendizagem e adaptação das perspectivas de ensino, às dificuldades dos indivíduos. A adopção de uma filosofia inclusiva tende assim, uma reestruturação da própria escola e revoga uma acção e atitude em prol dos direitos humanos e dos cidadãos. O objectivo deste estudo passa então por investigar as atitudes dos professores em relação às vantagens da educação inclusiva, quer em relação aos alunos ditos normais, quer com deficiência, e perceber de que formas essas atitudes são influenciáveis, tendo em conta o género dos docentes, e de que modo o contacto com pessoas com deficiência na infância/juventude influencia positivamente a atitude dos mesmos. O estudo foi realizado com uma amostra de 741 professores (N= 535 do género feminino e N= 206 do género masculino). Foi aplicado o questionário APIAD – A Atitude dos Professores face à Inclusão de Alunos com Deficiência (Leitão, 2011). A análise dos resultados obtidos permitiu-nos concluir que os professores que tiveram na sua infância/juventude contacto com pessoas com deficiência têm uma atitude mais favorável relativamente às vantagens da inclusão para os alunos com deficiência (p≤0,10). Relativamente ao Género dos docentes, as professoras têm uma atitude mais favorável relativamente às vantagens da inclusão do que os professores (p = 0,023). Quanto às vantagens da inclusão para os alunos normais e alunos com deficiência, os resultados mantêm-se, com uma atitude mais favorável por parte das professoras relativamente ao professores, sendo as diferenças estatisticamente significativas (p = 0,017.) e (p ≤ 0,10).ABSTRACT: While school aims at increasing the inclusion of its students, regardless of their specific characteristics or needs, there is a greater challenge for the institutions: that of educating its students adequately. In the last few years, the concept of inclusion has developed, having as its core value the adjustment of needs and the integration of teaching propositions in relation to students. The adoption of an inclusive philosophy tends, thus, to restructure the school itself and revokes certain actions and attitudes in accordance to human rights. One of the aims of this study includes the investigation of the attitudes of teachers regarding the advantages of inclusion in education, whether towards students said normal or those with a disability. Another aim is to understand how these attitudes can be influenced, taking into account the gender of faculty members and how the contact with people with disabilities in childhood/teenage years may have a positive influence in the attitudes of teachers. The study was carried out with a sample of 741 teachers (N= 535 females and N= 206 males). We used the APIAD questionnaire - A Atitude dos Professores face à Inclusão de Alunos com Deficiência/Teacher‟s Attitudes towards the Inclusion of Disabled Students (Leitão, 2011) The collected data helped us conclude that teachers who had contact with disabled people during their childhood/teenage years have a more positive attitude towards the advantages of inclusion. (p 0,10). Regarding the gender of faculty members, female teachers have a more positive attitude in relation to said advantages than male teachers (p= 0,023). As for the advantages of inclusion towards „normal‟ children and those who are disabled, the results are the same: female teachers have a more optimistic attitude than male teachers. The differences are statistically significant (p = 0.017) and (p  0,10).

A atitude dos professores em relação às vantagens da inclusão

A inclusão de alunos com necessidades educativas especiais no ensino regular tem vindo a revelar-se um desafio tremendo para os professores, que têm tentado incluir as crianças com deficiência sem negligenciar as necessidades das crianças ditas normais. Os professores assumem, assim, um papel determinante na promoção da educação inclusiva, que está fortemente ligada às atitudes dos professores face aos alunos com necessidades educativas especiais. O objectivo deste estudo é então investigar as atitudes gerais dos professores, determinando o modo como estes percepcionam as vantagens da inclusão quer para os alunos ditos normais quer para os alunos com deficiência e perceber de que forma essas atitudes são influenciáveis, tendo em conta a experiência profissional, a experiência no ensino de alunos com deficiência e a formação inicial dos docentes. A amostra foi constituída por 640 professores do ensino regular (N=463 do género feminino e N=177 do género masculino). Foi aplicado o APIAD – Atitudes dos Professores face à Inclusão de Alunos com Deficiência (Leitão, 2011). Concluiu-se que os docentes com menos de 5 anos de serviço apresentam atitudes gerais mais favoráveis em relação à inclusão (p=0,000) e em relação às vantagens da inclusão para os alunos ditos normais (p=0,024), quando comparados com o grupo com mais de 10 anos de experiência. Quanto à experiência no ensino de alunos com deficiência, os resultados indicaram que os professores com experiência possuem atitudes mais favoráveis, do que aqueles que não têm experiência, quer gerais (p=0,000) quer face às vantagens da inclusão (p=0,023) quer ainda às vantagens da inclusão para os alunos com deficiência (p=0,013). No que se refere à formação inicial, os professores, com contacto com alunos com deficiência durante a sua formação, revelaram atitudes gerais mais positivas (p=0,000) do que os professores sem essa formação inicial, o mesmo acontecendo no que se refere às atitudes percepcionadas no que diz respeito às vantagens da inclusão (p=0,016) e às vantagens da inclusão para os alunos com deficiência (p=0,006)

iPad use in fieldwork: formal and informal use to enhance pedagogical practice in a bring your own technology world

We report on use of iPads (and other IOS devices) for student fieldwork use and as electronic field notebooks and to promote active. We have used questionnaires and interviews of tutors and students to elicit their views and technology and iPad use for fieldwork. There is some reluctance for academic staff to relinquish paper notebooks for iPad use, whether in the classroom or on fieldwork, as well as use them for observational and measurement purposes. Students too are largely unaware of the potential of iPads for enhancing fieldwork. Apps can be configured for a wide variety of specific uses that make iPads useful for educational as well as social uses. Such abilities should be used to enhance existing practice as well as make new functionality. For example, for disabled students who find it difficult to use conventional note taking. iPads can be used to develop student self-directed learning and for group contributions. The technology becomes part of the students’ personal learning environments as well as at the heart of their knowledge spaces – academic and social. This blurring of boundaries is due to iPads’ usability to cultivate field use, instruction, assessment and feedback processes. iPads can become field microscopes and entries to citizen science and we see the iPad as the main ‘computing’ device for students in the near future. As part of the Bring Your Own Technology/Device (BYOD) the iPad has much to offer although, both staff and students need to be guided in the most effective use for self-directed education via development of Personal Learning Environments. A more student-oriented pedagogy is suggested to correspond to the increasing use of tablet technologies by students

Acesso e permanência na universidade federal do rio grande do Norte sob o ponto de vista do docente e do estudante com deficiência Natal-RN

Inclusion of students with disabilities is a recent case that has been discussed in school contexts, but the current policy of inclusion for access and retention of students in higher education is still a problem face there is much to do, therefore, are incipient studies in which this student body is involved. Accordingly, what is happening is that the most studies deal with on these students and little is said about them. For inclusive education thus the institution should prepare to receive students, having as one of its premises their point of views about what actually experience aiming at promoting education for all. Therefore, this study deals with the process of inclusion of students with disabilities regularly enrolled in undergraduate courses at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte - UFRN.They were used the assumptions of qualitative research enabled by the case study method and semi-structured interviews. It has been analyzed by guiding actions and teaching practices, under the views of disabled students and teachers, the conditions of access and permanence offered by UFRN. Twelve students with physical, visual, hearing disabilities participated and five teachers from the acedemic centers that in academic year 2008 taught to these students. For data analysis it was used the technique of content analysis. It was extracted two themes: access and retention of students with disabilities in UFRN, in which emerged the categories described and analyzed in the course of this work. The results show the difficulties of access and retention of students with disabilities within the UFRN, such as attitudinal, pedagogical and architectural barriers. However, as it has also turned out, initial advances in the quest for achieving more effective actions to guarantee access and permanence of these students in UFRN. It has concluded that the scope for the exercise of citizenship in the pupils with disabilities who need this Higher Education Institution has an inclusive education Project, wide and consolidated, for the actions undertaken by the Ministry of Education - MEC, by itself, are not guaranteed to all students due to mobility, autonomy and security. It has hoped this work will bring benefits for new studies to develop features that were located, but were not our focus, because then the UFRN may advance the inclusive process of disabled students

Inclusão de estudantes com deficiência nas instituíções de ensino superior da cidade do Natal/RN:análise das condições oferecidas no processo seletivo vestibular

The number of disabled students, who have entered the university, in Brazil, since the beginning of this century, is undergoing a speed growth. It is a change that follows a global trend that spreads an inclusive education policy and that has had a profound impact on Brazil, with import results in field researches. This subject has been highlighted due to the significant amount of disabled students enrolled in college institutions (IES), although it is still modest the number of studies about it, especially in what matters the assistance given to the candidates to a university entrance examination. The aim of this paper is to investigate how effectively Natal s IES apply the rules established in Brazilian law concerning disabled students, especially MEC/GM Circular Warning n. 277/96, in what respects the conditions given to disabled students preparing to enter a college. The investigation followed a qualitative methodological approach with support on an exploratory study. The data recollection employed questionnaire, semi-structured interview and documental analyses, and the data have been organized and assessed following Minayo s (1996) stages. What concerns the results, it was observed that none of the ten colleges inquired confirmed to possess places exclusively to disabled candidates; six of them, however, offer Special Examining Board in the selection process of disabled candidates. Among eighteen college bills, only two of them offered specific information related to services and resources offered by IES to the candidates who ask for especial assistance concerning examination. During the interviews, four managers avowed the preoccupation in offering an equal selection process, but two of them proved not dominate the subject. In conclusion, the investigated institutions managers do not still seem to respect the rule that guarantees to disabled candidates equal conditions during all the process of the university entrance examination. With this work, we hope do help changing this focus and contribute to new studies on disabled persons studying for a degree

Os jogos com regras na educação matemática inclusiva

This present study aimed to examine the use of games with rules in working with math education in regular classes included in Elementary School, in the municipal education schools of Natal/RN, observing the learning process and development of all students, especially those with disabilities. The theoretical references used are based on Vygotsky's works and other authors from the historical-cultural perspective, as well as researchers in the field of Inclusive Education and Mathematics Education. The investigation was based on the qualitative research guidelines, with the application of semi-structured interviews with educational coordinators and teachers from the schools involved as well as classroom observations, looking for, in the speeches of those involved and in their teaching practices, elements to reflect on the Mathematics Inclusive Education, the use of games with rules -starting from its goals, the participation of disabled students, the pedagogical mediations, up to its accessibility - and from the learning of disabled students. The analysis results showed that the concepts underlying the development of inclusive teaching practices still refer to the clinical-medical paradigm, understanding the student with disabilities from their deficiencies; which teachers use, in their majority, the mathematical games with rules in their classes, but which the teaching mediation, during these activities, still needs to be qualified so that they can, effectively, contribute to the learning and development of all students; students with disabilities do not always participate in games with others colleagues; games with rules are rarely accessible; and that the Universal Design principles are not adopted in the selected classrooms for this study. Thus, it is clear that much remains to be done so that Mathematics Education can contribute to the learning and development of all students, and among those actions the teacher continuing education is recommended

Mudanças nas concepções do professor do ensino fundamental em relação à inclusão após a entrada de alunos com deficiência em sua classe

As concepções dos professores podem determinar as atitudes sociais em relação à inclusão do aluno com deficiência na sala de aula. Dentre dessa temática, pode-se questionar: a concepção de inclusão do professor do ensino regular muda no decorrer do ano letivo após a entrada de alunos com deficiência? Assim, objetivou-se identificar a existência de mudanças de concepções do professor do ensino regular em relação à inclusão. Participaram do estudo cinco professores do ensino regular que atuavam em sala de aula com pelo menos um aluno com deficiência, em três escolas de Município do interior Paulista. Os dados foram coletados durante um ano letivo por meio de três procedimentos: entrevista não-estruturada; segmento bimestral das informações por meio de cadernos de conteúdo e entrevista semi-estruturada, ao final do ano. Os dados foram tratados por meio da técnica designada como análise da enunciação. Dessa análise, foram estabelecidas classes e subclasses, aferidas por juízes para verificar o grau de concordância da análise. Os resultados mostraram mudanças de concepções nas subclasses: expectativa em relação à inclusão do aluno com deficiência no ensino regular, experiência em relação à inclusão, perfil do aluno para ser matriculado no ensino regular; ritmo de aprendizagem do aluno com deficiência na sala de aula regular, avaliação da aprendizagem do aluno com deficiência, dificuldades em lidar com a diversidade, dificuldade em lidar com a disciplina/comportamento do aluno com deficiência e dificuldade para ensinar o aluno com deficiência. Conclui-se que a entrada, por si só, do aluno com deficiência no ensino regular não garantiu a mudança de concepção dos professores.

A participação escolar de alunos com deficiência na percepção de seus

The identification of the level of school participation of disabled students is crucial for monitoring the inclusive educational process. It requires the use of measuring instruments that provide functionality before school specific demands, and that at the same time can motivate the teacher to reflect on his judgment about the performance of students with disabilities. School Function Assessment (SFA) is a tool that helps recognize the special needs of students with disabilities according to parameters of functionality and participation. Thus, this study analyzed the influence of the use of SFA on the teacher's judgment of student participation and performance. Eight teachers responded regarding the participation of nine students with disabilities through the use of the SFA and a questionnaire. The results indicated that, for five teachers, SFA helped with the perception of the student's participation, focusing on the activity demand and brought reflections on: the need of evaluation not just in the classroom, co-relation between the degree of disability and the participation of the student, understanding of the specificities of the performance, importance of the adaptation to neutralize incapacity and the importance of the focus deviation from the disability toward functionality.
