Évaluation et amélioration du rendement de la formation en entreprise : vers une démarche basée sur la gestion des processus d’affaires.

La formation est une stratégie clé pour le développement des compétences. Les entreprises continuent à investir dans la formation et le développement, mais elles possèdent rarement des données pour évaluer les résultats de cet investissement. La plupart des entreprises utilisent le modèle Kirkpatrick/Phillips pour évaluer la formation en entreprise. Cependant, il ressort de la littérature que les entreprises ont des difficultés à utiliser ce modèle. Les principales barrières sont la difficulté d’isoler l’apprentissage comme un facteur qui a une incidence sur les résultats, l’absence d’un système d’évaluation utile avec le système de gestion de l’apprentissage (Learning Management System - LMS) et le manque de données standardisées pour pouvoir comparer différentes fonctions d’apprentissage. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons un modèle (Analyse, Modélisation, Monitoring et Optimisation - AM2O) de gestion de projets de formation en entreprise, basée sur la gestion des processus d’affaires (Business Process Management - BPM). Un tel scénario suppose que les activités de formation en entreprise doivent être considérées comme des processus d’affaires. Notre modèle est inspiré de cette méthode (BPM), à travers la définition et le suivi des indicateurs de performance pour gérer les projets de formation dans les organisations. Elle est basée sur l’analyse et la modélisation des besoins de formation pour assurer l’alignement entre les activités de formation et les objectifs d’affaires de l’entreprise. Elle permet le suivi des projets de formation ainsi que le calcul des avantages tangibles et intangibles de la formation (sans coût supplémentaire). En outre, elle permet la production d’une classification des projets de formation en fonction de critères relatifs à l’entreprise. Ainsi, avec assez de données, notre approche peut être utilisée pour optimiser le rendement de la formation par une série de simulations utilisant des algorithmes d’apprentissage machine : régression logistique, réseau de neurones, co-apprentissage. Enfin, nous avons conçu un système informatique, Enterprise TRaining programs Evaluation and Optimization System - ETREOSys, pour la gestion des programmes de formation en entreprise et l’aide à la décision. ETREOSys est une plateforme Web utilisant des services en nuage (cloud services) et les bases de données NoSQL. A travers AM2O et ETREOSys nous résolvons les principaux problèmes liés à la gestion et l’évaluation de la formation en entreprise à savoir : la difficulté d’isoler les effets de la formation dans les résultats de l’entreprise et le manque de systèmes informatiques.

A teaching/learning support tool for introductory programming courses

In This work we present a Web-based tool developed with the aim of reinforcing teaching and learning of introductory programming courses. This tool provides support for teaching and learning. From the teacher's perspective the system introduces important gains with respect to the classical teaching methodology. It reinforces lecture and laboratory sessions, makes it possible to give personalized attention to the student, assesses the degree of participation of the students and most importantly, performs a continuous assessment of the student's progress. From the student's perspective it provides a learning framework, consisting in a help environment and a correction environment, which facilitates their personal work. With this tool students are more motivated to do programming

Construindo pontes para a inclusão: um projeto de ensino/aprendizagem cooperativa

O presente trabalho constitui um projecto de investigação acção realizado numa escola de primeiro ciclo do distrito de Lisboa, mais especificamente numa truma do 4º ano de escolaridade,desencadeado por dois alunos diagnosticados com dificuldades intelectuais e desenvolvimentais que integravam uma unidade de apoio e specializado a alunos com multideficiência e surdocegueira congénita . Paralelamente foram também mobilizados os docentes do núcleo de educação especial do agrupamento de escolas . A caraterização destes três contextos a turma, a unidade e o núcleo- realizou-se através da utilização dos seguintei instrumentos de recolha de dados: análise documental, observação naturalista, entrevista semi-estruturada e sociometria. A análise dos mesmos permitiu fazer as seguintes constatações : turma bastante heterogénea, diferentes níveis de aprendizagem, alunos de língua portuguesa não materna, de diferentes etnias, e nível socioeconómico, problemas de relacionamento entre eles e alguma resistência em aceitar os colegas considerados com dificuldades intelectuais e desenvolvimentais; passividade e pouca responsabilidade no ato de aprender; dificuldades no cumprimento de regras; participação escassa das famílias no processo de ensino/aprendizagem; um tipo de ensino preferencialmente expositivo ; trabalho essencialmente individualizado , por parte dos alunos; dificuldade em incluir aqueles cujas diferenças individuais são mais significativas - diferenciação pedagógica descontextualizada . Na unidade de apoio especializado verificou –se a necessidade de um trabalho mais cooperado e convergente entre todos os intervenientes . No grupo de docentes de educação especial, constatou-se que as práticas de apoio aos sessenta alunos considerados com necessidades educativas especiais de caráter permanente eram essencialmente centradas no apoio direto ao aluno, fora da sala de aula .Tendo como quadro concetual de referência o paradigma da diversidade,a inclusão, a escola e educação inclusivas, a diferenciação pedagógica inclusiva, a aprendizagem cooperativa, e , tal como já se referiu, uma abordagem assente nas permissas da investigação ação como um processo cíclico de refletir para agir e refletir sobre a acção , desenvolveram –se ações nos referidos contextos da intervenção. Turma–diferenciação pedagógica inclusiva, utilização de metodologias de ensino/aprendizagem cooperativa na área da língua portuguesa Na unidade de apoio especializado –intervenção individualizada com os alunos “caso” para O desenvolvimento das competências estipuladas nos seus currículos específicos individuais, tendo por base um trabalho coordenado e cooperativo entre professores, famílias, assistentes operacionais e técnica de terapia da fala. No núcleo de educação especial – ação de sensibilização sobre a importância do papel de parceria pedagógica com os docentes do ensino regular , para implementação de uma pedagogia diferenciada inclusiva e da aprendizagem cooperativa como estratégias de inclusão . Considerando a complexidade dos contextos de intervenção e a competência profissional tão necessária ao sucesso de todos os alunos e à melhoria da escola , com a realização deste projeto de investigação acção pelo enriquecimento profissional que proporcionou, pôde constatar-se que este tipo de abordagem (o professor como investigador crítico e reflexivo), se apresenta de facto, como uma via importantíssimade formação contínua. Neste caso, o desenvolvimento deste projeto, permitiu encontrar algumas respostas que contribuíram para a melhoria profissional dos implicados e dos contextos em questão, atenuando os problemas identificados e perspetivar outras respostas . No entanto, esta abordagem não foi um processo fácil, pois esta capacidade de fazer juízos críticos sobre o próprio trabalho requer tempo de aprendizagem e principalmente a vontade de querer fazer, sempre, mais e melhor.

The graduate teacher programme in England: mentor training, quality assurance and the findings of inspection

In its recent report on the Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP), an employment-based route to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in England, the Government's Office for Standards in Education found that, although almost all trainees meet the standards required to qualify, too often they do so at an adequate level, rather than achieving the high levels of which they should be capable. The underlying reason for this is the quality of mentoring provided in the schools. The inspectors concluded that schoolbased trainers are often not adequately prepared for their role in implementing wide-ranging training programmes for trainee teachers. Despite this generally bleak picture, Ofsted concluded that 'the minority of cases of good practice in the training programmes and of high quality teaching by trainees indicate that the GTP can be an effective alternative route for training teachers'™. This article considers the strengths and weaknesses of the Graduate Teacher Programme, introduced in January 1998, and also reports on a small-scale project, funded by the Teacher Training Agency (TTA), the key objective of which was to strengthen the existing partnerships by improving the quality of school-based tutor training and continuous professional development of staff.

Skicklig läs- och skrivundervisning i åk 1-3 : Om lärares möjligheter och hinder

This study focuses on teachers’ opportunities and obstacles to perform skillful reading and writing instruction. It’s about the ability to accurately identify where students are in their reading and writing process and to help them develop good reading skills. It is also about the ability to recognize signs of difficulties that students may have in their written language development and to know what efforts are needed to help them advance their reading and writing skills. The research is based on teachers’ own statements and survey responses on the external conditions for teaching and on their approach, attitudes and knowledge in reading and writing. The empirical material consists of interviews, surveys and test data. The interview study was conducted with eight teachers. The questionnaire was answered by 249 teachers, while the knowledge test was conducted of 269 teachers and 31 special education teachers. Many of the teachers in this study have lack knowledge in the structure of language and common Swedish spelling rules. Furthermore, it appears that a large part of them are unaccustomed to explaining, in detail, students’ reading development and find it difficult to systematically describe the aspects of daily literacy instruction. The overall picture is that many teachers teach without having tools to reflect on how their education really affects students’ reading and writing. These shortcomings make it difficult to conduct effective literacy instruction. Once students have learned to decode or if they have reading difficulties, many teachers seem to one-sidedly focus on getting students to read more. The consequence could be that those who would need to practice more on the technical basic of reading or comprehension strategies are left without support. Lack of variety and individuality in fluency and comprehension training can challenge the students’ reading and writing development. The teachers in the study, who have the old junior school teacher and elementary teacher education, have the highest amount of knowledge of reading and writing (the test). Good education can provide student teachers with professional skills that they may develop further in their careers. Knowledge of the meaning of phonological and phonemic awareness as well as knowledge of how to count phonemes seem to be important for knowledge of reading and writing (the test). Knowledge of basic reading processes can be obtained by systematic and structured work with students’ linguistic development, and through continuous dialogues with experienced colleagues on how and why questions. This is one important way to work also in teacher training. When essential professional skills are established in the teacher education, in practice students will obtain the school’s learning goals.

Um estudo sobre o estágio supervisionado na formação inicial de professores de matemática na Bahia

This work arose from our concerns with the issues of teacher training for early childhood education. From the difficulties encountered as a novice teacher in elementary, we deem important to research training needs of these professionals. Thus, we define the objective of this research to investigate the training needs of novice teachers teaching Early Childhood Education/Elementary school. Our work fits in Educational Research Qualitative Approach, and its construction procedures of the semistructured interview data and document analysis. Our empirical field was made up of schools in the metropolitan region of Natal / RN, offering kindergarten / elementary school. The subjects are five teachers who act as holder of the elementary school class and have 0-3 years of teaching practice, characterizing the second Huberman (2007) as novice teachers. Data analysis, based on principles of content analysis, three themes emerged: Beginner Teaching Professor in Early Childhood Education / Preschool; Reasons explaining the difficulties Faculty / Formative Needs Teaching and Training in Early Childhood Education / Elementary school, from the Training Needs Analysis, with their respective categories, subcategories, contributing to our understanding of the subject matter. The entry into the profession is marked by mixed feelings of euphoria and fear, where there seems to be a "clash" with reality. The difficulties are related to the planning / execution of activities, meet the individual needs of learning and assessment of children. As a strategy to overcome the difficulties the teachers exercise the action-reflection-action in their practices and seek continuous updates in the theoretical and methodological framework of early childhood education. The reasons that define these difficulties may be related to the teacher, school, family, and students of these institutions. In experiencing these difficulties has outlined the need for teacher training, among which stand out studies on ethics in teaching with children, the concept of children and their childhoods, peculiarities of teaching / learning in preschool, toys and legal determinations on early childhood education, multi-language and expressions in early childhood education, specific content areas of knowledge, among others. Furthermore, studies on the theoretical as Piaget, Vigotsky, Maria Carmen Barbosa and Emily Smith. For these professionals to be a professional early childhood education is: like children, be patient and careful, have specific theoretical and practical training for teachers in kindergarten, being able to improvise with seriousness and competence and get updates on continuing education. The surveys, together with the authors and teachers, to confirm our understanding that the training needs of beginners may be related to shortcomings in the initial and continuing education

Ateliês de história e pedagogia da matemática: contribuições para a formação de professores que ensinam matemática nos anos iniciais

This paper presents a discussion about the use of the History of Mathematics as an educational resource and conceptual mediator in the formation of teachers who teach mathematics in the years of elementary school. It was a qualitative action method, in order to show the importance of holding workshops of History and Pedagogy of Mathematics as contribution to overcome the conceptual difficulties of teaching and teachers regarding the content covered in the course of education and afterwards they have to teach in the early of elementary school. We assume that understanding the historical, social and cultural comprehension as a conceptual and didactic focus effectively nurture the pursuit of a teaching and learning of mathematics students safe and justified in order to contribute to overcoming the difficulties of teaching and learning usually occurred in the classroom of the early years. In this sense, we organized a study group formed by students of Bachelors in Education and Mathematics at the University of Piauí. We developed five training workshops in History and Pedagogy of Mathematics, with a workload of 20 hours each and four follow-up sessions and advicement, totalizing 180 hours. The purpose of workshops was to develop studies on the History of Mathematics that could support the formation of a conceptual and didactic group with a view to prepare teaching materials and activities based on information drawn from undertaken historical studies .The products designed were used in formation of the group itself and will later be used in training teachers of public school in Teresina, in the form of workshop of History and Pedagogy of Mathematics in order to overcome problems arising from teaching and conceptual this education degree in Education Based on the obtained informations it was possible to suggest new referrals procedural level of education and university extension that may contribute to the reorientation of initial and continuing training of teachers in the early years elementary school

Quadrinhos nas aulas de ciências: narrando uma história de formação continuada

Located at the intersection of Science Education, Teacher Training and use of didactic Comics (HQ), the text aims to discuss the problem which thus sets: - What is the contribution of the incorporation of comics in the continuing education of teachers Natural Sciences of the early years of elementary school? - May be the comics for enabling science teaching? - How to contribute to a reflexive training of teachers of the early years? - In order to answer these questions, there was a collaborative action research in a school located in the city of Natal / RN, with three teachers who teach natural science in the early years of elementary school. The study involved the conduct of 13 meetings of in-service, under the focus on reflective practice, with the purpose of discussing topics underlying the teaching of science and the use of comics as a methodological strategy. All meetings were recorded on audio and transcripts. The teachers finally recorded the meetings by writing a portfolio. The teachers made use of 10 sessions with reading comics in science classes, which were video recorded and later watched by the educators in autoscopy sessions followed by individual interviews. From the collected data, several aspects that have emerged can be grouped into three categories: The difficult concept of science, teachers' work and the obstacles and possibilities of comics as a teaching strategy. In this sense, are woven assessments taking as its founding, look for the reflective and dialogic practices exercised in the classroom. In the analysis of the data, we can see the conceptual difficulties, methodological and pistemological questions of teachers for teaching science, but also the limitations of comic books for teaching. Learning more relevant appointed by the teachers is related to the importance of collective work to mitigate the training needs of teaching. Finally, signals that the HQ has a great potential for use in science classes, provided that the teacher conduct a careful planning for this, but that the meetings of continuing education promote moments of reflection on teaching practices that are capable of giving rise to new attitudes before the difficulties they depict

A educação escolar hospitalar: práticas pedagógicas docentes com crianças em tratamento oncológico no Hospital Ophir Loyola em Belém-PA

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo investigar as práticas pedagógicas docentes com crianças em tratamento oncológico no Hospital Ophir Loyola (HOL) em Belém, Pará. Optouse como estratégia de pesquisa pelo estudo de caso descritivo tendo como sujeitos seis professores que trabalham com crianças que fazem tratamento de saúde no referido hospital, os quais foram ouvidos por meio de entrevistas estruturadas. O estudo, em seu referencial teórico, buscou analisar a criança em tratamento oncológico e a educação escolar hospitalar em seus aspectos históricos, legais, didáticos e curriculares. Os dados coletados foram analisados pela técnica de análise de conteúdo, chegando-se às seguintes categorias temáticas: dinâmica de trabalho dos professores do HOL; práticas docentes com crianças em tratamento oncológico no HOL; dificuldades e facilidades nas práticas docentes no HOL e formação inicial e continuada dos professores do HOL. Após análise dessas categorias concluiu-se que a educação escolar do HOL desenvolve um saber sistematizado, devidamente planejado e adaptado às necessidades das crianças em tratamento oncológico. Os atendimentos pedagógicos são realizados em vários espaços, de acordo com as possibilidades e necessidades dos alunos. Quanto às dificuldades dos professores na execução de suas atividades, os docentes apontaram: o tempo de permanência da criança no hospital, a situação física e emocional do aluno, a falta de materiais didáticos, as dificuldades de memorização e atenção das crianças decorrentes das medicações, as interrupções das aulas para procedimentos clínicos diversos e a falta de tempo para planejamento das atividades, que interferem no processo ensino aprendizagem. Comprovou-se também a necessidade de maiores estudos sobre o cuidado da saúde emocional dos professores. No que diz respeito à formação inicial verificou-se que estes não tiveram nenhuma formação específica para trabalhar em ambiente não convencional de educação, mas que buscam formação contínua para dar conta das demandas que se apresentam nesse espaço. Os resultados da pesquisa poderão servir de referencial para a formação de professores e em estudos na área de educação e saúde, assim como concorrer para a ampliação de políticas públicas que beneficiem a educação escolar em ambiente hospitalar.

Significados e expectativas de crianças das camadas populares em relação à escolarização

Nowadays, we understand the childhood as a result of historical and social changes. This work aims to comprehend representations and expectations made by children from the popular classes in the initial years of Fundamentaql Education. We conducted a research with six students from a public school that attends children from urban popular layer's families. The research examines the meanings and representations of educational practices developed in the relationships established among teachers, students and families through their life stories. Among the results, we can say that the environment of differentiation in the school id perceived to the students because they introject teacher's representations about their performance. Scientific studies show that children crystallize a positive image of the shool when the speech and posture of the institution value and encourage learning. However, the students are challenged to produce better results in order to participate in extracurricular activities, which they are excluded todue indiscipline or learning difficulties. The mean of the schooling is highly influenced by the performance of students and also by the attitude of educators in the family and in the school. The theoretical review points out that when students have a good performance, the merit is attributed to stress and ease they have to acquire the learning contents. In other hand, struggling students or with a lag of content explains the academic problems stems from the lack of capacity and potential for acquisition of learning compatible with age, defining schooling as something necessary for training, but which is inaccessible in their life stories

Collaborative language learning in Teletandem: a resource for pre-service teacher education

This article presents some of the results of a qualitative research project about the influences of the pedagogic strategies used by a mediator (graduate student in applied linguistics) in the supervision process of a Teletandem partner (undergraduate student in languages) on her pedagogical practice. It was done within the project Teletandem Brazil: foreign language for all. Based on the reflective teaching paradigm and collaborative language learning, with special emphasis on tandem learning, we analyzed the contributions of the collaborative relationship established between the graduate student and the student-teacher in her first teaching experience. The results bring about implications for the field of language teacher education in a perspective of education within practice, evidencing the experience of collaborative learning in teletandem as an opportunity for reflective teacher education of pre-service teachers.
