I-Spi: innovative shared practical ideas: a support guide for literacy and numeracy in the early years of schooling, for home tutor/supervisors in distance education

Innovative Shared Practical Ideas (I-Spi) is a guide to help you and your children learn together. It is designed to affirm, support and strengthen your role as home tutor/supervisors in your daily learning sessions with your children. In this guide particular emphasis is given to the value of talk, formal and informal early literacy and numeracy practices (including ideas from distance school lessons, from home tutor/supervisors, research, and beyond), assessment of these practices together with informal assessment ideas for gauging your children’s literacy and numeracy progress, and stepping in and building on strategies

A EDUCAÇÃO A DISTÂNCIA E A FORMAÇÃO DO SUJEITO: Estudo realizado sobre o professor tutor nos cursos de graduação, na modalidade a distância da Umesp, sob a ótica da multirreferencialidade

A educação a distância (EAD) é uma modalidade de ensino antiga que se renova com as novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação (NTIC). O momento presente é promissor para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas neste âmbito, visto o crescimento desta modalidade de ensino no Brasil. Universidades brasileiras (públicas, privadas, comunitárias e confessionais) têm investido em projetos de educação a distância; percebe-se que os modelos utilizados carecem precisão na configuração das funções exercidas pelos vários atores presentes na EAD. Por esta razão, o trabalho tutorial é pe squisado tendo como objetivo o desvelar das relações entre a formação do sujeito e o papel do professor tutor, considerando o Projeto Pedagógico Institucional e o projeto pedagógico dos cursos a distância, bem como suas proposituras sobre a concepção antropológica (homem), a concepção gnosiológica (conhecimento) e a concepção política (relações político-sociais). As hipóteses que sustentaram a pesquisa consideraram a tutoria como: mediadora no processo de construção do conhecimento e desenvolvimento do sujeito e como uma das responsáveis pela articulação da equipe de EAD, nas relações com o corpo discente, da Universidade Metodista de São Paulo. O texto, a seguir, é fruto do desejo de corroborar com o desenvolvimento desta modalidade de ensino no Brasil.(AU)

The effect of cross -age tutoring routines on the tutor's perception of self as reader

Perception of self as a non-reader has been identified as one of the factors why poor readers disengage from the reading process (Strang, 1967; Rosow, 1992), thus impeding progress. Perception and informational processes influence judgments of personal efficacy (Bandura, 1997). The student's sense of reading efficacy that influence effort expenditure and ultimately achievement, is often overlooked (Athey, 1985; Pajares, 1996). Academic routines within educational programs are implemented without adequate information on whether routines promote or impede efficacy growth. Cross-age tutoring, a process known to improve participants' academic achievement, motivation, and provide opportunities for authentic reading practice, has been successfully incorporated into reading instruction designs (Allen, 1976; Cohen, Kulik & Kulik, 1982; Labbo & Teale, 1990; Riessman, 1993). This study investigated the impact teacher-designed routines within a cross-age tutoring model, have on the tutor's sense of reading self-efficacy. ^ The Reader Self-Perception Scale (Henk & Melnick, 1992) was administered, pre- and post-treatment, to 118 fifth grade students. Preceding the initial survey administration intact classes were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 commonly utilized cross-age tutoring routines or designated as the non-treatment population. The data derived from the Reader Self-Perception Scale was analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results indicated that participation as a cross-age tutor does not significantly increase the tutor's perception of self as reader in 1 or more of the 4 modes of information influencing self-efficacy as compared to the non-treatment group. ^ The results of this study suggests that although a weekly tutoring session that delivers educationally credible routines impacts achievement and motivation, efficacy effect was not evident. Possible explanation and recommendations for future studies are proposed. ^
