Teachers’ perception of the concept of intercultural competence in teaching English

Intercultural competence (IC) as an essential part of conceptualization of the cultural dimension in FLT has been promoted by educationalists as the most preferred type of competence. One of the challenges of incorporating IC into FLT is to move from the recognition of IC as a model of teaching (Byram, Nichols and Stevens, 2001) to the development of practical applications. This can be due to the fact that teachers do not have sufficient knowledge of the theory behind the concept and consequently, have difficulties to implement the curriculum requirements with regards to IC into their teaching. The purpose of this study was to investigate how teachers of English in upper secondary schools in Sweden interpret the concept of IC and, accordingly, what is their view of culture in English language teaching. In order to answer the research question, I used an exploratory investigation by adopting a qualitative research method in form of semi-structured interviews. The results are similar to the previous studies (Lundgren, 2002; Larzén, 2005) and suggest that teachers lack theoretical background and central guidance with regards to IC and do not always integrate language and culture into an intercultural model of the English language pedagogy.

El campo de la Bibliotecología en el horizonte vocacional de los jóvenes : Matrícula, prácticas y representaciones

La escasa demanda que la carrera de bibliotecología tendría entre la población joven, especialmente entre quienes finalizan sus estudios de nivel medio, constituye en la actualidad una de las problemáticas que enfrenta el universo social de los bibliotecarios como campo disciplinar. A partir de esta situación, en el presente artículo pretendemos, por un lado, relevar características de la matrícula de la carrera de Bibliotecología en la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC) -Argentina-, tomando como fuente de información los Anuarios Estadísticos del período 2000-2014 de la mencionada universidad. Por otro, y a partir de un trabajo de campo que se hizo en once establecimientos educativos de nivel medio de la ciudad de Córdoba, abordaremos las prácticas y las percepciones que sobre la carrera de bibliotecología y la institución bibliotecaria tienen los jóvenes que cursaron en el 2015 el último año de estudios de la escuela media. La información recabada nos permite inferir que el escaso interés por estudiar bibliotecología estaría asociado a que el universo social de la bibliotecología no ocupa un lugar significativo en el horizonte perceptivo de los jóvenes de la escuela media.

Same-sex attracted youths: Suicide and related factors

Same-sex attracted youths comprise 10 percent to 11 percent of the secondary school population although not all of those who experience same-sex attraction will adopt a gay, lesbian, transgender or transsexual lifestyle. Most, if not all, will experience homophobia in one or more of its forms. Many of these young people will cope well with the heterocentric attitudes and prejudices prevalent in secondary schools and the wider community and make the transition into adulthood having learned how to mask their sexual preferences or develop effective coping mechanisms to deal with homophobia. Some will succumb to the pressures they experience and seek less ideal solutions that include drug use and promiscuity. Some will take their own lives. This article draws attention to the complications of same-sex attraction and argues for a school and community response that recognises and appreciates the positive contributions that diversity of sexual preference brings to any community.

Physical activity patterns of Singaporean adolescents

The purpose of this study was to document the level of physical activity and sedentary behavior in a representative sample of Singaporean adolescents. A random sample of 1,827 secondary school students from six secondary schools (929 boys, 898 girls, mean age 14.9 +/- 1.2 yr) completed the Three-Day Physical Activity Recall (3DPAR) self-report instrument. Approximately 63% of Singaporean high school students met current guidelines requiring 60 min of moderate to vigorous physical activity daily. Just over half (51.6%) met the guideline calling for regular vigorous physical activity. Across all grade levels, boys were consistently more active than girls. More than 70% of Singaporean high school students exceeded the recommended 2 hours per day of electronic media use. Collectively, these findings suggest that a significant proportion of Singaporean adolescents are not sufficiently active and are in need of programs to promote physical activity and decrease sedentary behavior.

The changing nature and role of the head of department

There is little doubt that devolution of responsibility to schools and the growth of school-based management have impacted upon the role and workload of school leaders. Not only Principals have been affected by these changes as Welch (1996) argues that Principals of public secondary schools have passed responsibility down to Deputy-principals and to Heads of Department. As such, the Head of Department role, like other school administration positions, has undergone significant change. Of interest to this paper is the changing role of Heads of Department in secondary schools. This study reports on the findings of semi-structured interviews with eight Heads of Department from four public secondary schools and Principals from each of these schools in South East Queensland. Four years after the first set of interviews, two heads of department were reinterviewed. Both sets of interviews focused upon the role, change, and the importance of leadership. The research generated eight specific themes each of which was considered consistent with the nature of the role in a period of significant cultural change. These were the difference in perceptions regarding the Head of Department role, held by Principals and Heads of Department; Head of Department leadership in terms of a curriculum framed department or whole school leadership; how individuals perceived leadership, and how they learned of leadership; the impact of the changing culture upon the individual Head of Department; the growing influence of situational factors upon the role; the impact of managerialism; the changing nature of a secondary school department; and a growing and more complex workload, and the need for different skills. Furthermore, the findings pointed towards the need for effective change processes and a reconceptualized head of department role. The paper concludes with some implications for the ongoing professional development needs of Heads of Department.

PROJETOS EDUCATIVOS COMO FACILITADORES DO ENSINO-APRENDIZAGEM

A experiência tem demonstrado que projetos educativos facilitam o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Por isso, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar as possibilidades, os limites e os obstáculos enfrentados pelo professor ao trabalhar com projetos educativos. Para tanto, foi feito um estudo de caso em uma escola do município de São Paulo em que os professores possuem como prática o desenvolvimento de projetos. Foram selecionados cinco deles: Ler e Escrever , Xadrez na Escola , Nas Ondas do Rádio pertencentes ao programa da Secretaria Municipal de Educação de São Paulo, e que constam nos projetos político-pedagógicos das escolas da rede desde 2006 e A Caixa de Pandora e Azulejos no Metrô , que aconteceram no ano de 2010. Estes dois últimos não pertencem ao projeto político-pedagógico da escola, mas foram selecionados para este estudo pelo grande número de alunos que envolvem e por terem ultrapassado os muros da instituição. Com base na teoria de vários autores, principalmente Fernando Hernández, que traz a proposta de organização do currículo integrado por meio de projetos de trabalho, e Ulisses F. Araújo, que trata da construção de valores e da influência da afetividade na formação do aluno, e considerando a prática docente e o papel importante do educador, refletiu-se sobre como os projetos educativos contribuem para o aumento do rendimento escolar. De cunho qualitativo, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida tendo como principais técnicas a leitura e a análise de documentos, fotos e vídeos, bem como entrevistas e questionários para professores e alunos. Os resultados apontam para a estratégia de projetos desenvolvida na escola objeto de estudo ela incorpora alguns elementos relativos às teorias utilizadas e para o fato de que a prática docente pode contribuir para a implantação de ações pedagógicas que auxiliam na aquisição do conhecimento e no desenvolvimento de valores, ações que caminham em direção das ideias de interdisciplinaridade e transversalidade.
