Extracurricular language activities in higher education: Perspectives of teachers and students

This Master’s thesis researches the topic “Extracurricular language activities in higher education: Perspectives of teachers and students”. In the light of several learning theories, namely, Self-Determination Theory, Social Learning Theory and Incidental Learning Theory, extracurricular participation in language related activities is studied. The main aims of the research are as follows: to study how extracurricular language activities can be organized and supported by the education institution; to investigate how such activities can promote the participants’ learning; and, to research how these activities can be developed and improved in the future. Due to the qualitative character of this research, the empirical data collected through interviews and their thematic analysis allow to study the participants’ perceptions on the above-mentioned issues. Among other results of the research, it can be noted that the organizers of extracurricular language activities and the participants of the activities may have different perspectives on the aims of the activities, as well as their advantages. Additionally, it has been found that the participants of activities would often speak on certain categories that imply the connection to some learning theories, which allows to hypothesize that some learning could be observed in those participants, following participation in extracurricular activities. This is an implication for further research in the area, which can focus on correlations between participation in extracurricular language activities and learning outcomes of the participants.

Entre ecos e narcisos: estudo de caso sobre a prática teatral com adolescentes como atividade extracurricular numa escola de nível médio

This masters thesis discusses the studying and the teaching of drama and its implications among teenagers of the contemporary world. This paper also analyses an extracurricular project entitled Drama in the development of citizenship , which was carried out in the public state school Berilo Wanderley in Natal/RN, between 1999 and 2005 with high school students. It comprises a case study that aimed at understanding how and why they chose to take drama classes outside of the school curriculum and even after they graduated, some of them never left the school project and even started participating in the cultural and artistic context of the city of Natal quite actively, both as part of an audience as well as on artistic, political, social and pedagogical performance. The project was high significant for its participants, for the school and for the community, by creating a sense of recognition of the relevance of the pedagogical and artistic production in the public school, as it managed to yield knowledge that helped students to understand the values of group work, sharing information, collaborative assessment and, most of all, to engender actions of protagonism by the teenagers themselves within their social environments. The empirical process developed is placed in a contemporary historical context where educational paradigms shifts occur, and where categories of youth empowerment and protagonism are fundamental to the educational process in the 21st century. The objective of this study is to reflect upon the pedagogical dimension of drama classes for teenagers, aiming at providing further discussions on the role of acting classes in the construction of the personality among youngsters, thus hoping to contribute to other teaching practices, including drama and other subjects of general education

Atividade física extracurricular dos adolescentes

A atividade física regular é fundamental para garantir um ótimo crescimento e desenvolvimento dos adolescentes, onde o envolvimento com outras variáveis ambientais influencia o estado de saúde dos “adultos do futuro”. Tratou-se de um estudo não experimental, de observação e de metodologia transversal, cujo objetivo foi recolher informações sobre a atividade física extracurricular realizada pelos adolescentes matriculados nas escolas de Bragança através do preenchimento de um questionário sobre a prática de exercício físico extracurricular. Participaram 600 adolescentes com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 18 anos matriculados nos estabelecimentos de ensino da cidade de Bragança. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram que a prática de exercício físico extracurricular era efetuada por 53,9% dos jovens, verificando-se que o sexo dos adolescentes influenciava a prática de desporto (ρ=0,000), tal como a idade (ρ=0,048). Eram os rapazes mais novos que praticavam mais frequentemente desporto extracurricular, destacando-se o futebol, outra atividade (dança e musculação) e o basquetebol. Dos adolescentes que praticavam desporto extracurricular, 15,83% realizavam dietas de restrição alimentar. Em relação aos adolescentes que não praticavam exercício físico extracurricular, 11,78% também recorriam à dieta. Verificou-se que a prática de exercício físico era estatisticamente independente da realização de dietas (ρ=0,157). Para além disso, foi possível constatar que 39,1% dos jovens utilizavam o carro dos familiares como forma de transporte para a escola, seguindo-se os jovens que se deslocavam a pé (35,1%). Relativamente ao trajeto realizado a pé, a maioria demorava entre 5 a 15 minutos entre o percurso casa-escola. Visto que um número significativo de adolescentes matriculados nas escolas de Bragança não praticava atividade física extracurricular, torna-se imperativo a promoção de ações que lhes incutam este hábito de vida saudável.

The extracurriculum in an input-poor environment

This paper reports on the experiences of an extracurricular program in English language learning (ELL) that was implemented in an institute of technology in the hinterland of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Following the guidelines set out in an impact study of the reform of curriculum change in Hong Kong (Adamson & Morris, 2000), this study takes account of the context of the particular socio-cultural and political environment in which the research program takes place. Three distinct phases emerged in the career of the extracurricular program - the establishment of the program; successful implementation; and the decline. The study identifies three key factors that shaped these phases: teacher motivation; student motivation and its various influences; and available resources (including collegial and administrative support). The findings suggest that of the key factors impacting on the ELL extracurriculum, student motivation was the most influential.

Preliminary Research Findings : Volunteers in Queensland State Government

As 2001 was the International Year of the Volunteer as it seemed timely to look at the legal, social and political frameworks which provide for the long term growth of volunteers. The focus of this research is on the nature and extent of volunteers in the Queensland State Government. The social capital debate (expanded by Robert Putnam in 1995) is about citizens’ participation in extracurricular activities and has been extended to mean a collective intelligence – a capacity as a people to create the society we want. The volunteer phenomenon has been used to indicate social and ethical concern.
