Reformulació dels Plans Docents de Creativitat i Disseny en crèdits ECTS

Els objectius estan orientats cap a l’assoliment dels criteris de qualitat i la seva adaptació a les característiques de la titulació. És a dir, en quina mesura les diferents activitats docents permeten assolir les competències definides en la titulació. En aquest sentit, a continuació es relacionen els objectius plantejats: 1. Fer el seguiment de la docència de les dues assignatures d’estudi del projecte. 2. Construir un protocol d’assegurament de la qualitat docent, en el marc de la titulació, que permeti el seguiment i l’aplicació a la totalitat de la titulació. 3. Establir els processos de control i assegurament de la qualitat docent segons els criteris d’aprenentatge de Bolonya. 4. Aquests objectius hauran de ser desenvolupats durant la docència de les matèries objecte d’estudi. Els procediments que es presenten en aquest treball se centren en l’avaluació experimental de dos indicadors centrals en cada una de les assignatures de la prova. Els resultats aconseguits en aquest projecte dintre de la Prova Pilot de la titulació de Publicitat i Relacions Públiques ens porten cap a dues direccions. Primerament, les primeres proves i els indicis obtinguts fins al moment permeten determinar que l’aplicació de la metodologia Bolonya demostra tenir una major potència docent en una de les assignatures analitzades “Introducció a la creativitat publicitària”, i que, a més, identifica el caràcter d’estudiants que més rendiment d’aprenentatge en treuen. En l’altra assignatura, els resultats encara no són concloents, tot i que s’endevina que manté el ritme de bons resultats que ja es mostraven d’inici. En segon lloc, els resultats analitzats permeten pensar que l’ús de la metodologia Bolonya no implica cap detriment docent i a més a més, permet treballar de manera millor les matèries. La present recerca, doncs, quantifica en quin grau s’estableix la progressió d’aprenentatge amb les activitats docents en la nova metodologia Bolonya expressat en aquest valor de potència docent.

Aproximació al canvi conceptual dels docents respecte a l'ensenyament estratègic de la lectura, a partir d'un curs de formació : una experiència al Cicle mitjà d'Educació Primària

Aquest projecte s'emmarca dins de l'àmbit de l'assessorament psicopedagògic, concretament, en la formació del professorat per a l'ensenyament d'estratègies d'aprenentatge. El tema d'estratègies d'ensenyament/aprenentatge és massa ampli per a poder tractar-lo en un projecte com aquest, amb una limitació temporal que exigeix concretar l'actuació en els punts següents: fer una selecció prèvia d'un determinat conjunt de procediments d'aprenentatge vinculats amb la lectura, situar-lo dins d'un context escolar concret de manera que la formació vagi dirigida als docents del cicle mitjà d'educació primària d'un CEIP del Masnou i centrar l'experiència en dos d'aquests docents.

Una aproximació a l'alfabetització digital en l'àmbit educatiu no universitari de Catalunya (a partir de la recerca PIC escoles de la UOC)

Aquest treball s'estructura en tres parts. En la primera hi ha el projecte de treball. La segona part vol reflectir tot el marc conceptual elaborat i reelaborat amb profunditat entorn de la recerca, el qual és necessari per a estructurar, entendre i autoavaluar-la. El marc conceptual se centra bàsicament en tres aspectes: en primer lloc, el mètode de recerca emprat en la recerca PIC a les escoles; en segon lloc, l'evolució de les tecnologies en l'ensenyament paral·lelament a la mateixa concepció de l'ensenyament-aprenentatge, i, com a conseqüència dels dos anteriors, finalment, s'hi analitza l'evolució del concepte d'alfabetització, concretant l'estudi en l'alfabetització digital, com també la possibilitat ampliada per a les TIC de fomentar l'aprenentatge col·laboratiu. La tercera part del treball analitza la funció social de l'escola en la societat del coneixement.

Generación de cursos virtuales adaptativos en SCORM e IMS-LD

The use of virtual learning environments it’s more and more frequent in all education levels. However, this increasing use of such environments also implies that the different stages now used in the processes of teaching-learning need to be considered. Student users in a virtual learning environment are faced, not only to the problems related to acquire the knowledge of their course, but also to technological problems as information overloading, getting used to web surfing, computer use, etc. One way to minimize the impact caused by heterogeneity existing in virtual learning environments is to adapt several aspects to the specific characteristics from the user and his context. From this point of view, this work shows a model for an integral user that has been used to generate a virtual course that can interoperate between ELearning platforms. This course has been created using the SCORM reference model and the IMSLD specification

Conceptualisation et emploi du passé composé et de l'imparfait en français langue étrangère (L3) au Sri Lanka : l'impact du singhalais langue maternelle (L1) et de l'anglais langue seconde (L2)

Résumé: Notre étude chevauche deux domaines de recherche quasi indissociables : ceux de la linguistique et de la didactique des langues. Comme l'indique le sujet, elle examine la conceptualisation et l'emploi de deux notions aspecto-temporelles du français (le passé composé et l'imparfait), sous l'impact des connaissances grammaticales déjà acquises sur deux autres langues : le singhalais et l'anglais. Notre recherche relève des domaines de la psycholinguistique, de la linguistique acquisitionnelle et de la linguistique comparative. Toutefois, dans le cadre de cette étude, nous examinons ces notions grammaticales françaises et leurs équivalents présumés dans les deux autres langues comme étant des concepts relevant des langues à statuts sociaux spécifiques [à savoir, langue maternelle (L1), langue seconde (L2) et langue étrangère (L3)], dans un contexte particulier d'enseignement/apprentissage et d'acquisition de langue [à savoir, le contexte d'enseignement/apprentissage et d'acquisition du français langue étrangère (FLE) au Sri Lanka]. En ce sens, notre étude est également liée aux domaines de la sociolinguistique et de la didactique des langues, notamment, étrangères. Ce qui pourrait probablement distinguer cette recherche des autres, c'est qu'elle aborde certaines questions linguistiques et didactiques peu étudiées jusqu'ici. Entre autres, l'influence de deux langues sur l'enseignement/apprentissage d'une L3, l'enseignement/apprentissage des langues dans des contextes exolingues et le rôle des transferts dans la conceptualisation des notions grammaticales. Pourtant, lorsque nous avons choisi le contexte d'apprentissage du FLE au Sri Lanka comme terrain de recherche, nous avons également visé d'autres objectifs : examiner les systèmes verbaux de trois langues dont l'imbrication n'a pas encore été objet d'étude ; examiner le système verbal aspecto-temporel peu explicité du singhalais à la lumière des descriptions linguistiques occidentales ; vérifier certains préjugés concernant les liens de proximité et de distance entre les trois langues choisies et étudier les causes de ces préjugés. Notre corpus provient de plusieurs classes de FLE au Sri Lanka. Le public observé était constitué d'adolescents ou d'adultes bilingues ayant le singhalais en L1 et l'anglais en L2. Les cours choisis se distinguaient les uns des autres par plusieurs critères, mais travaillaient tous sur les notions du passé composé et de l'imparfait. A la conclusion de notre étude, nous avons constaté qu'un nombre important de nos hypothèses initiales se sont avérées véridiques. A titre d'exemples, les transferts entre les langues premières et la langue cible sont récurrents et non négligeables chez l'écrasante majorité des apprenants exolingues observés, et parfois, même chez leurs enseignants; si ces apprenants recourent à ces langues pour étayer leur apprentissage, ni leurs enseignants ni leurs manuels provenant de l'étranger ne les guident dans ce travail; les transferts ayant l'anglais pour origine l'emportent considérablement sur ceux provenant du singhalais. De même, suite à l'analyse contrastive des trois systèmes verbaux aspecto-temporels et à l'analyse du corpus, nous avons également eu un résultat imprévu : contrairement à une représentation répandue chez les apprenants singhalais, il existe des points convergents entre leur L1 et le français ; du moins, au niveau de l'emploi de certains temps du passé. Un fait dont on était jusqu'ici ignorants mais dont on peut sûrement profiter dans les cours de FLE au Sri Lanka. Suite à ces observations et à la fin de notre thèse, nous avons fait quelques recommandations didactiques afin d'améliorer les conditions d'enseignement/apprentissage des langues étrangères, au Sri Lanka et ailleurs. Abstract: Our research is related to the fields of both linguistics and didactics, two research areas which are almost inseparable. As the title shows, the thesis examines the issue of conceptualizing and using of two grammatical (aspectual and temporal) concepts of the French language (le passé composé and l'imparfait), under the influence of previously acquired grammatical knowledge of two other languages: Sinhalese and English. Thus, our research is linked to the domains of psycholinguistics, acquisitional linguistics and comparative linguistics. However, within the framework of this study, we will consider the above-mentioned two French grammatical concepts and their presumed equivalents in the other two languages as concepts belonging to three languages with specific social status [i.e. first language (L1), second language (L2) and foreign language (L3)], taught/learnt/acquired in a particular language teaching/learning context [the context of teaching/learning of French as a foreign language (FFL) in Sri Lanka]. In that sense, our study is also associated with the fields of sociolinguistics and language teaching, especially foreign language teaching. What could probably make this study outstanding is that it studies certain linguistic and didactic issues which have not yet been studied. For example, it examines, among other issues, the following: the influence of two languages (i.e. mother tongue -L1 & second language -L2) on the teaching/learning process of a third language (i.e. foreign language- L3); foreign language teaching and learning in an exolingual context (where the target language is not spoken outside the classroom); the role of language transfers in the process of grammatical notion conceptualization. However, in selecting the FFL teaching/learning context in Sri Lanka as our field of research, we had further objectives in mind : i.e. 1) studying the verb systems of three languages whose combination has never been studied before ; 2) studying the aspectual-temporal formation of the Sinhalese verb system (which is hardly taught explicitly) in the light of the linguistic descriptions of dominant European languages; 3) verifying certain preconceived ideas regarding the proximity and the distance between the three chosen languages, and 4) studying the causes for these preconceptions. Our corpus is obtained from a number of FFL classes in Sri Lanka. The observed student groups consisted of bilingual adolescents and adults whose first language (L1) was Sinhalese and the second language (L2) was English. The observed classes differed in many ways but in each of those classes, a common factor was that the students had been learning some aspect of the two grammatical concepts, le passé composé and l'imparfait. Having completed our study, we now see that a considerable number of our initial hypotheses are proven correct. For example, in the exolingual French language teaching/learning context in Sri Lanka where we carried out our research, language transfers between the first and target languages were recurrent and numerous in the work of the greater majority of the observed language learners, and even their teachers; these transfers were so frequent that they could hardly be ignored during the teaching/learning process ; although learners turned to their first languages to facilitate the learning process of a new language, neither their teachers, nor their text books helped them in this task; the transfers originating from English were far too numerous than those originating from Sinhalese; however, contrary to the popular belief among many Sinhalese learners of French, the contrastive analysis of the three aspectual-temporal verb systems and the study of our corpus helped us in proving that there are common linguistic features between the Sinhalese and the French languages ; at least, when it comes to using some of their past tenses. This is a fact which had been ignored up to now but which could probably be used to improve French teaching/learning in Sri Lanka. Taking all observations into account, we made some pedagogical recommendations in the concluding part of our thesis with the view of improving foreign language teaching/learning in Sri Lanka, and elsewhere.

A pesquisa em Ensino de Química como área estratégica para o desenvolvimento da Química

This paper presents an overview of the development of chemical education as a research area and some of its contributions to society. Although science education is a relatively recent area of research, it went through an expressive development in the last decades. As in the whole world, in Brazil also such development is attested by the expressive number of scientific societies, specialized journals, and meetings with growing attendance in the areas of science education in general and chemical education in particular. Following are the main contributions of research in science education related to chemistry teaching: adoption of teaching-learning principles in chemistry education; contextualization of chemical knowledge; interdisciplinary approach to chemistry teaching; use of the history of science for the definition of contents and for the design of curricula and teaching tools; development of specific disciplines for the initial and in-service training of chemistry teachers; publication of innovative chemistry textbooks by university-based research groups; elaboration of official guidelines for high-school level; and evaluation of chemistry textbooks to be distributed to high-school students by the Brazilian government. In spite of a positive impact of such initiatives, science education in Brazil still faces many problems, as indicated by poor results in international evaluations (such as the Program for International Student Assessment). However, changes in such a scenario depend less on the research in chemical education than on the much-needed governmental initiatives aiming at the improvement of both attractiveness of teaching career and structural conditions of public schools. In conclusion, new government investments in education are necessary for continuing the development of chemistry; moreover, scientific societies and decision makers in educational policies should take into consideration the contributions originated from the chemical education research area.

Concepções de licenciandos em química sobre visualizações no ensino de ciências em dois países: Brasil e Portugal

In this work, the beliefs of undergraduate students from Brazil and Portugal on the use of visual tools in teaching chemistry, which have increasingly been introduced in the areas of teaching/learning in these two countries in recent years, have been investigated. An interpretative analysis of the results shows little familiarity of students with specific points of the theme, beyond a poor conception about the way the visualization tools influence the construction of scientific concepts.

Formação e docência na educação infantil : um olhar sobre a prática pedagógica e o currículo

O presente estudo que trata da formação e docência na educação infantil tem por objetivo realizar uma análise da percepção das docentes deste segmento acerca da infância, da educação infantil e do currículo para educação infantil, com vistas a observar as diferenças ocorridas em sua prática pedagógica após o ingresso no curso de licenciatura em pedagogia oferecido pelo PROGRAPE-UPE. Nele busca-se responder a seguinte questão norteadora: “Como se encontra a prática pedagógica e a percepção dos educadores para com a Educação Infantil e a importância do currículo para esse segmento educacional?”. Assim, direcionamos o aporte teórico desta pesquisa para questões como a história da educação infantil, em que buscamos traçar os primeiros passos desta no Brasil, em seguida traçar nossas considerações para concepção de criança ao longo dos tempos até chegar a percepção que se tem atualmente sobre a mesma, sobretudo como sujeito da relação de ensino-aprendizagem, onde buscamos a contribuição deixada por importantes teóricos como Piaget, Vygotsky e Wallon. Além disso, também direcionamos nosso olhar ao atual processo educacional da infância tendo em vista a função e reorganização curricular, em que delineamos algumas considerações sobre a história do currículo, e assim adentrarmos na abordagem do currículo para a educação infantil, tendo-se por base a importância da observação de seus três eixos junto a este segmento. E, por fim, tratamos da atuação docente e da importância da formação para aqueles que trabalham na educação de crianças entre 0 (zero) e 6 (seis) anos de idade. Neste percurso, a metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, bem como, a pesquisa de caráter qualitativo, onde o instrumento de coleta de dados foi a entrevista, a qual foi realizada com uma amostra de 6 (seis) docentes da educação infantil, cuja avaliação foi feita com base na análise do discurso; de maneira que, ao seu final, pudemos perceber a importância do curso de formação tendo em vista um melhor entendimento por parte das docentes entrevistadas acerca da infância, da educação infantil e do currículo, bem como na melhoria de sua prática.

Leitura de mundo, leitura da palavra : construção da competência leitora

Nossa intenção, na presente investigação é seguir um procedimento analógico ao da construção da competência leitora e refletir sobre as influências educacionais, sobretudo, no interesse, ou falta dele, pela leitura, competência fundamental para o desenvolvimento do indivíduo na sociedade. Iniciamos pelo processo de aprendizagem e ensino da leitura e finalizamos com as reflexões: como a prática pedagógica do docente, desperta ou reconcilia o jovem leitor com a leitura? Compreendemos que somos capazes de contribuir para o desenvolvimento e aprofundamento dos hábitos de leitura dos estudantes, principalmente escolar, a fim de “aprimorar” os níveis de leitura e promover no estudante o prazer de ler, desde que, nós enquanto figuras mediadoras e motivadoras em sala de aula, o professor, sintam verdadeiramente esse desejo de desperta no outro o prazer de ler. Como resultado, depreende-se que o próprio professor ainda não incorporou seu papel enquanto figura motivadora, importantíssima, na construção de alunos leitores. Simultaneamente constatamos que o professor é sabedor das lacunas no seu processo de formação acadêmica e da necessidade de formação continuada para “aperfeiçoamento” da sua prática e da posição que ocupam como sujeitos de suas leituras e que seu hábito de leitura, ou ausência dele, tem consequência na prática de ensino/aprendizagem e em seu posicionamento frente aos estudantes como ícone motivador da mesma. Concomitantemente, aferimos que a concepção que predomina nas práticas da leitura ainda é a noção de leitura como decodificação de palavras, essa percepção é notada não só na fala dos estudantes, mas também na do professor. Aferimos também, que a maioria dos estudantes investigados não tem o hábito da leitura e consequentemente não tem consciência das estratégias usadas nesse processo de produção de significados. Esperamos que as discussões aqui apresentadas, e os resultados obtidos nesta investigação proporcionem reflexões sobre a prática pedagógica, favorecendo alterações que colaborem para a melhoria do ensino/aprendizagem de leitura.

Lärares syn på undervisning i närområdet utanför klassrummet : En intervjustudie om hur lärare ser på undervisning som sker i närområdet utanför klassrummet inom de samhällsorienterande ämnena i årskurs 1-3

Syftet med studien var att ta reda på hur lärare ser på närområdet och hur de bedriver undervisning i närområdet utanför klassrummet inom de samhällsorienterande ämnena i årskurs 1-3. Vidare var syftet att undersöka vad lärare hade för åsikter om undervisningens inverkan på elevers lärande i årskurs 1-3 samt vad de såg för möjligheter och problem med undervisningsformen. För att besvara studiens syfte intervjuades sex lärare genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna analyserades med en innehållsanalys där mönster söktes i informanternas svar. Resultatet visade att samtliga lärare anser att undervisning i närområdet utanför klassrummet har en positiv inverkan på elevers lärande men att alla lärare inte bedriver undervisning i denna form. Problem som hindrar lärare från att bedriva undervisning i närområdet är tids- och ekonomibrist samt bristen på forskning inom ämnet och vissa lärare saknar även viljan till att bedriva undervisning på detta sätt. I resultatet presenteras även några olika exempel på hur lärare undervisar i närområdet utanför klassrummet och vad de ser för möjligheter med denna undervisningsform.

Ensinar/Aprender ortografia: uma experiência na formação de professores

The studies in the education area have been defending the importance of forming autonomous teachers that they look for to understand the context in that they act, for that movement to make possible educational interventions with better conditions of the students' learning. In the extent of the teachers' formation, it has been discussed the importance of formative actions that they have as focus the analysis of the needs in the educational formation, as alternative to turn such more significant actions. Concerned with those subjects and with the school failure in the Brazilian education, especially in the children's of the public school literacy, we accomplished this work that aims at to investigate the needs of teachers' of the Fundamental Teaching of the public school formation, in the extent of their students' orthographic difficulties, building with those teachers knowledge on the process of teaching/learning spelling. The study was accomplished at a municipal school of the city of Parnamirim-RN, that offers the Fundamental Teaching I. the approach investigativa is of qualitative nature, where the case study and the research-action were used as methodologies. They participated in the research 7 teachers and 1 coordinator of the institution. For the construction of the data the following instruments were used: glimpsed semi-directing collective and individual, documental analysis, questionnaire and observation, that made possible the triangulation of the data for the content analysis. The main results pointed that the teachers' of that school initial needs were addressed not only to the teaching of the spelling, but also to the formation type that they would receive. We verified although the formative process was favorecedor of sockets of the teachers' conscience: related to the orthographic mistakes, to the strategies used at classroom and to the planning addressed to the teaching of the spelling. Finally, we concluded that the teachers' reflection researched about their own formation needs contributed for (trans)formations of their conceptions and practices related to the teaching of the spelling, even before some found difficulties, so much in the formation as in practice pedagogic developed by the participants
