A FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES EM COMUNIDADES DE PRÁTICA: O CASO DE UM GRUPO DE PROFESSORES DE QUÍMICA EM FORMAÇÃO INICIAL

This work deals with communities of practice and their contribution to pre-service teacher training. A group of eight pre-service chemistry teachers was accompanied during their participation in the PIBID program. Based on their interaction in planning teaching activities, the group was characterized as a community of practice. For this characterization the three dimensions of communities of practice were observed: mutual engagement, joint enterprise and shared repertoire. The results showed that the community of practice was essential for the training of pre-service chemistry teachers. Through community practice, pre-service teachers were able to learn more about their future practice as chemistry teachers.

Os professores do ensino superior: entre a performatividade da lei e as narrativas autobiográficas

O presente texto é parte de um projecto de investigação conduzido pelo grupo ESBRINA da Universidade de Barcelona1 e tem por objetivo compreender as implicações da reestruturação económica, social, cultural, tecnológica e laboral da universidade espanhola na vida e na identidade profissional dos docentes e investigadores. As autoras analisam os efeitos performativos da lei na configuração da actividade docente através de um estudo que pretende estabelecer a relação entre a legislação universitária espanhola dos últimos 40 anos e as experiências de vários professores universitários de diferentes gerações. A metodologia qualitativa utilizada baseia-se na análise da legislação, incidindo sobre a definição de sujeito que dela emerge, e, ao mesmo tempo, procurando estabelecer uma relação com os discursos autobiográficos dos participantes no estudo. O objectivo é salientar as transformações que se operaram na vida universitária a partir das alterações legislativas e, ao mesmo tempo, saber que estratégias foram utilizadas pelos docentes perante essas mudanças. A interacção entre a análise performativa da legislação universitária e os relatos autobiográficos da experiência vivida permite aferir as adaptações e resistências, encontros e desencontros, entre o sujeito normativo e o sujeito biográfico.

Motivações e constrangimentos dos professores do Ensino Superior para adotarem metodologias de ensino baseadas em e-Learning

Este trabalho visa identificar como é que os professores do ensino superior percecionam a adoção das metodologias de ensino com componente de e-learning e o peso dessa adoção no seu desenvolvimento profissional e na aquisição de novas competências. O estudo foi desenvolvido numa instituição de ensino superior privada portuguesa onde os professores têm uma reduzida experiência da utilização de ambientes de aprendizagem online e de estratégias de ensino com componente de e-learning. Para o efeito foi construído um questionário tendo o trabalho de campo sido realizado no primeiro trimestre de 2012. Os resultados obtidos revelam que as principais motivações dos professores para adotar o e-learning estão relacionadas com a necessidade de atingir novos públicos e de diversificar a oferta formativa, enquanto o maior constrangimento consiste no aumento do tempo dedicado às atividades letivas. Verifica-se ainda um preconceito elevado em relação ao ensino online, existindo da parte dos respondentes pouca disponibilidade para a sua adoção. O desenvolvimento deste trabalho passa pelo aprofundamento da análise dos dados recolhidos e, numa segunda fase, pela utilização de uma amostra mais representativa que possibilite a generalização das conclusões ao universo de todas as instituições de ensino superior portuguesas.

Preditores da satisfação no trabalho dos professores do ensino básico e secundário português : remuneração, valores de trabalho e stress

O papel do professor é crucial numa sociedade, e o sucesso da sua missão depende da sua satisfação no trabalho. Este estudo tem como objectivo avaliar a satisfação no trabalho dos professores do ensino público português não superior. Uma amostra de 637 professores respondeu a um questionário online sobre satisfação no trabalho, valores de trabalho, e stress. Verificou-se que os professores, em média, se encontram insatisfeitos com o seu trabalho; que os do sexo masculino se encontram mais insatisfeitos que os do sexo feminino; que a variação da remuneração dentro da profissão não tem impacto sobre a satisfação no trabalho nos professores; que o stress é o principal preditor da satisfação, tendo um claro impacto negativo; e que tanto os valores intrínsecos de locus de controlo interno como os valores sociais influenciam (positivamente) a satisfação de modo independente.

Opiniões de professores do ensino médio: refletindo sobre os projetos escolares e a interdisciplinaridade

Official documents indicate to a curriculum organization that promotes the dialogue in different areas of knowledge. Among the proposals strategies are the "School Projects". This research appears from the staff need evidenced in the development of practice of the researcher in recent years as Pedagogical Advisor in high school. The comments made in the daily work on the kinds of projects and how they were developed in the school, generated concerns. They aroused the interest in further the discussion, aiming to reflect with teachers about the implementation of a pedagogic action on the use of educational projects in the classroom, as a didactic strategy which promotes the learning of students. In this sense, it seeks to develop studies and discussions by the application of questionnaires and the holding of a workshop with teachers in the area of Science of Nature and Mathematics in private high school institutions from Natal, searching opinions of them as the preparation and development of school projects. As general purpose, it aims to contribute with elements to the reflection of the teachers on the use of this strategy of education. For both, we propose: the knowledge of ideas/opinions of teachers on planning, development and evaluation of projects, both disciplinary and interdisciplinary, identifying the main difficulties of these teachers about the work with projects at school; reviewing projects developed at school after the press conference in a meeting with teachers, incorporating the identified aspects as weak points. In the course of the methodology research, questionnaires were used with open and closed questions for the lifting of preliminary ideas for teachers in order to subsidize the planning of a developed meeting later in the school itself on the subject in question. 10 teachers took part of the first step and 17 in the second one (pressconference). In the third stage, an individual interview was carried out and analysis of projects already developed. It is observed that, as the main difficulty for the development of projects in school, pointed to the time factor in the planning team, followed by excessive working hours for teachers that, generally, also work in other schools. Some teachers say they do not develop projects for not having knowledge of how to develop school projects, neither disciplinary, nor interdisciplinary

Caracterização do ciclo sono/vigília de professores do ensino médio em natal/rn

In the school environment is fundamental the knowledge about the sleep-wake cycle (SWC), because we find children and adolescents with excessive sleepiness and learning difficulties. Furthermore, teachers with high demand and with different work schedule, which may contribute to changes in SWC. The aim of this study was to describe the SWC of high school teachers in Natal/RN. Habits and knowledge about sleep, chronotype, SWC, daytime sleepiness, sleep quality and job satisfaction were described in 98 high school teachers from public and private school. These parameters were compared according to the characteristics of work, family structure and gender. Data collection was performed with the use of questionnaires in two stages: 1) "health and sleep" (general characterization of sleep habits), Horne & Ostberg questionnaire (characterization of chronotype), Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the Index of Pittsburg Sleep Quality, 2) The sleep diary for 14 days. From the results, we observe that the teachers woke up and went to bed earlier in the week and showed a reduction of time in bed around 42min comparing to weekend. This reduction in time in bed during the week was accompanied by an increase in nap duration on weekend. In addition the teachers woke up earlier on Saturdays than on Sundays, probably due to housework and leisure. The teachers' knowledge about sleep was low in relation to individual differences and effect of alcoholic beverages on sleep, and high in the consequences of sleep deprivation. The differences found in comparisons on the characteristics of work, family structure and gender were punctual, except concerning the work schedule. The teacher who started work in the morning and finished in the night, woke up earlier, went to bed later and had less time in bed, when compared to teachers who work only in two shifts. In addition, teachers with late chronotypes who begin the work in the morning had a greater irregularity in the wake up time compared to teachers with earlier and intermediate chronotypes. Half of teachers have excessive sleepiness, which was positive correlated with work dissatisfaction. In general, teachers showed IPSQ averages equivalent to poor sleep quality and the women showed worst averages. From the results, it is suggested that the SWC of teachers varies according to work schedule, leading to irregularity and partial sleep deprivation in the week, although these responses vary according to chronotype. These changes are accompanied by excessive daytime sleepiness and poor sleep quality. However, it is necessary to expand the sample to clarify the influence of variables related to work, family structure and gender together

As características dos alunos são determinantes para o adoecimento de professores - um estudo comparativo sobre a incidência de Burnout em professores do ensino regular e especial

The practice of teaching is permeated by adverse working conditions, low wages, inadequacy of material and teaching resources, overcrowded classrooms, tension in relationships with the students, excessive work load, lack of safety in the school environment, insignificant participation in institutional planning and in institutional politics. The objective of the present study was to compare burnout among three groups of teachers who work in elementary grades: a) 20 teachers who teach in regular school classrooms without the inclusion of students with special educational needs - RSI Group; b) 20 teachers who teach in the regular classroom with special needs students - RCI Group; c) 20 teachers who teach in resource classrooms (SR Group). The instruments used for data collection were the Maslach Burnout Inventory -MBI. The data was analyzed by SPSS version 13.0 and Kruskal-Wallis test for comparison of the three groups. The results were organized in the form of figures and tables. In general, the results demonstrated that the groups presented relative similarity. The teachers from the SR Group obtained the best results in the evaluation of the three burnout scales when compared to the RSI Group and RCI Group, that is, there was a prevalence of answers in the lower levels of emotional exhaustion, high level of low personal accomplishment and low level for depersonalization. It is hoped that these results contribute to a better understanding of burnout in teachers from regular classrooms with or without students with educational special needs and/or to indicate new directions for investigation.
