Abstract : Information and communication technologies (ICTs, henceforth) have become ubiquitous in our society. The plethora of devices competing with the computer, from iPads to the Interactive whiteboard, just to name a few, has provided teachers and students alike with the ability to communicate and access information with unprecedented accessibility and speed. It is only logical that schools reflect these changes given that their purpose is to prepare students for the future. Surprisingly enough, research indicates that ICT integration into teaching activities is still marginal. Many elementary and secondary schoolteachers are not making effective use of ICTs in their teaching activities as well as in their assessment practices. The purpose of the current study is a) to describe Quebec ESL teachers’ profiles of using ICTs in their daily teaching activities; b) to describe teachers’ ICT integration and assessment practices; and c) to describe teachers’ social representations regarding the utility and relevance of ICT use in their daily teaching activities and assessment practices. In order to attain our objectives, we based our theoretical framework, principally, on the social representations (SR, henceforth) theory and we defined most related constructs which were deemed fundamental to the current thesis. We also collected data from 28 ESL elementary and secondary school teachers working in public and private sectors. The interview guide used to that end included a range of items to elicit teachers’ SR in terms of ICT daily use in teaching activities as well as in assessment practices. In addition, we carried out our data analyses from a textual statistics perspective, a particular mode of content analysis, in order to extract the indicators underlying teachers’ representations of the teachers. The findings suggest that although almost all participants use a wide range of ICT tools in their practices, ICT implementation is seemingly not exploited to its fullest potential and, correspondingly, is likely to produce limited effects on students’ learning. Moreover, none of the interviewees claim that they use ICTs in their assessment practices and they still hold to the traditional paper-based assessment (PBA, henceforth) approach of assessing students’ learning. Teachers’ common discourse reveals a gap between the positive standpoint with regards to ICT integration, on the one hand, and the actual uses of instructional technology, on the other. These results are useful for better understanding the way ESL teachers in Quebec currently view their use of ICTs, particularly for evaluation purposes. In fact, they provide a starting place for reconsidering the implementation of ICTs in elementary and secondary schools. They may also be useful to open up avenues for the development of a future research program in this regard.

Initial and continuous education for teachers has been studied at Group of Studies and Research on Language, Teaching and Teachers’ narrative (GEPLENP in Portuguese). In order to do so, we use teacher’s narratives from public schools in Assis/SP. Narrative researches have been very widely spread either in Brazil or in any other country. Meaningful papers have shown how important the topic is as well as the method used. This research tries to identify teachers’ social representations, which result from historic, cultural and time constitutions in order to get close to group of teachers’ representations about their initial and continuous education. The individual and singular narrative method gives us the opportunity to access the history told by the participants. The results point out that initial education promotes the opposition between theory and praxis and use of tool is highlighted in continuous education, which limits possibilities of teachers’ reflection on their own school role thus evidencing institutional interests.

Ce mémoire présente une analyse des représentations de dix-sept enseignants quant à l’intégration linguistique, socioscolaire, scolaire et sociale d’élèves allophones immigrants dans trois écoles secondaires pluriethniques de la région de Montréal. Cette étude a eu lieu dans le cadre d’un projet visant à décrire les modèles de services destinés aux élèves allophones immigrants à travers les perceptions d’acteurs scolaires québécois (De Koninck, Z. et F. Armand, 2012). Les représentations de huit enseignants de classes d’accueil et celles de neuf enseignants de classes ordinaires ont été dégagées à partir d’une analyse thématique de leur discours recueilli au moyen de six entrevues de groupe. Le questionnaire d’entrevue a mené les enseignants à dresser des bilans de l’intégration d’élèves allophones immigrants et à porter un regard sur leurs rôles. L’interprétation des résultats a permis de situer les représentations de l’intégration des enseignants sur un continuum d’acculturation. Les résultats révèlent que les enseignants de classes d’accueil ont généralement mis l’accent sur le bien-être affectif de leurs élèves et sur l’enseignement du français langue seconde, alors que les enseignants de classes ordinaires ont souvent rapporté traiter tous leurs élèves de manière égale. Par contre, des préoccupations en lien avec la place de la langue française au Québec ont mené plusieurs enseignants à justifier des dynamiques de ségrégation et à se représenter la langue maternelle et le milieu familial des élèves allophones immigrants comme des obstacles à l’intégration. Lorsqu’on les situe sur un continuum d’acculturation, les représentations de l’intégration de certains enseignants tendent vers le modèle interculturel, alors que celles d’autres enseignants se rapprochent de l’assimilation.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi o de descrever as expectativas relacionadas, diretamente, ao de s empenho do papel do professor universitãrio bem como, de modo articulado, descrever a representação social, dele formada no âmbito de uma especifica comunidade universitária pública. Foram realizadas 41 entrevistas com os três segmentos componentes da comunidade universitária, distribuídas da seguinte forma: is professores, 17 alunos e 9 funcionários, recrutados aleatoriamente, em suas unidades de ensino. Estas correspondiam as seguintes áreas: Psicologia, Educação, Filosofia, Ciências Sociais, Hist6ria e Comunicação - que fazem parte de uma mesma aglutinação de interesses, Ciências Humanas. Foi utilizada uma metodologia qualitativa para a obtenção dos relatos, através de método de história de vida. Assim, privilegiou-se a obtenção do conhecimento sobre o papel social e representação do professor de graduação, a partir dos relatos dos próprios componentes da comunidade universitária enfocada. O procedimento analítico utilizado para avaliar os depoimentos foi embasado na técnica de análise de conteúdo, através da utilização do método de categorias. A partir de análise detalhada foram surgindo os temas subjacentes a cada uma das categorias e, com isso, pode-se chegar às representações sociais dos professores. Ao trabalhar com essas categorias e seus temas subordinados é que se chegou às principais questões discutidas no presente trabalho: as representações da universidade em suas relações com a sociedade, papéis sociais e representações dos professores por cada um dos componentes dos segmentos entrevistados, as relações entre estes segmentos e as expectativas inerentes ao papel desempenhado pelos professores, entre outros.

In the past twenty years, there has been a significant increase of researches about teacher s professionalization. In that context, the investigations concerning teacher s knowledge represent an important contribution, as they aim to identify and to rescue the base of knowledge that sustains the teacher s profession. In particular, the reflections and propositions of Lee Shulman have been constitute a fundamental subsidy to the teacher s professionalization in the sense of harnessing the pedagogic knowledge to the content s knowledge, establishing the pedagogic knowledge of the content that characterizes and differentiates the teacher and the bachelor in a certain field of knowledge. Among the indispensable knowledge for the Chemistry teacher's professional practice, in this research we have pointed out the pertinence of the knowledge on the use of models in Chemistry classes in the middle and high school. Those knowledges regard the comprehension of students concerning the understanding and models elaborated in science and the models implemented in the Chemistry teaching, as well as the abilities to plan didactic situations that use models. In this research, we aimed to identify the contributions and barriers during the Chemistry teacher education, in UFRN, in relation to the construction of knowledge that subsidize training teachers in the elaboration of teaching activities that involve the use of models. The investigation was accomplished in UFRN, in the Course of Degree in Chemistry, along with 13 student teachers that studied the subject Practice of Chemistry Teaching. For this research, the following instruments were used: questionnaires with open and closed questions, elaboration of a plan of activities for the Chemistry teaching and an interview to answer the established study s questions. The data was analyzed in an established criteria, classified and tabled. The results showed that the student teachers representations regarding scientific knowledge contemplated, among other topics, the idea of a method for his/her construction. In some cases, the models role was emphasized in that construction, as well as the social dimension in the validation of that knowledge. The scientific models were highlighted by most of the student teachers, as a representation method to explain, understand and interpret the chemical phenomena. On the other hand, the didactic models stood out, in most of cases, as a method of aiding the Chemistry students of the Basic Education to understand the scientific models. The representations regarding those categories contemplated important aspects, although in a superficial way, reflecting the limitations of reflections during the formative process. In the elaboration of teaching activities that use models, difficulties were evidenced, in the process of plan construction, relative to the didactic structure and to the proposition of activities that contemplated models, although the student teachers have mobilized different elements regarding the pedagogic knowledge of the content. Such verifications evidence the urge for the teacher development programs to promote changes in the teacher education in order to propitiate, during this process, reflections, discussions and propositions of activities regarding categories highlighted in this research, contributing to the construction of initial elements regarding the pedagogic knowledge of the content that will be developed throughout teaching, therefore corroborating to the teacher s professionalization

Teaching and learning representations have been more and more investigated in the Brazilian applied linguistics field, as it allows the understanding of the teachers representations and how they conceive the learning process. This practice facilitates the planning of actions to improve the educational system. This study aims at identifying, interpreting and discussing some representations related to the identity and professional view of English as a foreign language teachers in different school contexts of Natal-RN. The theoretical and methodological foundation for this research is Halliday s Systemic- Functional Linguistics (1994; HALLIDAY; MATHIESSEN, 2004; EGGINS, 1994, among others). Our goal was to reveal the teachers representations embedded in their language, mainly through the ideational metafunction, as language is the tool we use to express ourselves about the external world (events, qualities, things, etc) and the internal world (thoughts, beliefs, feelings, etc). The research corpus is made of 21 teacher narratives, generated from a questionnaire sent to the teachers, who were divided in two groups: Group 1 (public schools teachers) and Group 2 (private schools and English course teachers). Most of the participants seemed to be satisfied with their professional choice. Many of them see the job as a challenge and an opportunity to transmit knowledge. All of them affirmed that the English teacher is a professional, for different reasons; however, the low professional appreciation was a recurrent aspect among the studied narratives. When asked about where they work, the private school teachers seemed to be more satisfied with the teaching-learning process than the ones from the public schools. We believe that the data analyzed in this study is important to show how some English teachers from Natal-RN see their profession. The results might be used in continuing education courses as food-for-thought in group discussions, as it is extremely important to emphasize and stimulate this practice

Este estudo constituiu-se numa análise das representações de professores acerca de relações raciais no currículo escolar do Ensino Médio. A análise fora produzida a partir do conceito de Representações na perspectiva de Roger Chartier (1990;1991) e dos estudos contemporâneos sobre as relações raciais e a educação. Associado a esse conceito, utilizamos como caminho metodológico a Análise do Discurso (BARDIN,1977; ORLANDI, 2004), envolvendo duas etapas. A primeira foi a análise dos documentos oficiais e documentos escolares com o objetivo de compreender a materialização dos discursos nos quais as formas simbólicas foram produzidas e reproduzidas pela Escola de Ensino Médio, à qual se buscou integrar técnicas de análise de discurso. A segunda refere-se à análise dos documentos orais, constituídos de discursos dos professores do Ensino Médio. Os resultados da análise dos documentos orais nos levam a inferir duas dimensões: a primeira corresponde ao processo de educação anti-racista, que dependerá da subversão dos professores no tocante às representações eivadas de preconceitos, velados ou não, presentes em sua prática pedagógica, o que influenciará no desempenho dos alunos; a segunda diz respeito à necessidade de o professor (des)naturalizá-las pedagogicamente. No entanto, tal alteração somente será possível à medida que o professor desenvolva um cabedal de conhecimentos para o enfrentamento da questão na sala de aula por meio do currículo, reconhecendo sua singularidade teórica e processual. Além disto, concluímos que os professores das disciplinas História, Artes e Literatura ainda não estão integrando suas ações pedagógicas voltadas para o atendimento da Lei n 10.639/03

Este estudo tem por objeto as Representações Sociais de egressos do curso de Licenciatura em Biologia do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Pará – IFPA acerca de sua formação docente na perspectiva da inclusão escolar de alunos com deficiências. A problemática se orientou com foco nas representações sociais anunciadas pelos professores sobre sua formação para a inclusão. O Objetivo principal do estudo foi Analisar o processo de construção das Representações Sociais de egressos de licenciaturas do IFPA sobre sua formação docente com vistas à inclusão. A Metodologia seguiu a abordagem qualitativa – descritiva – interpretativa – analítica com a intenção de ouvir o que esses professores têm a dizer sobre a inclusão de alunos especiais, assim como essas representações se constroem e qual o reflexo delas na ação do indivíduo. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo e teve como finalidade aprofundar nosso conhecimento sobre o assunto estudado. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram 10 professores egressos oriundos do campo das ciências naturais que aceitaram participar desse estudo. Os dados da pesquisa foram coletados por meio do questionário para a realização do levantamento socioeconômico, da entrevista na modalidade semi-estruturada com a intenção de apreender os discursos verbais dos professores que foram tomados como a fonte reveladora das representações sociais; e Técnica da Associação Livre de Palavras que teve como objetivo destacar imagens relevantes das possíveis representações dos docentes. Para a compreensão dos dados foi utilizada a técnica de análise de conteúdo categorial na perspectiva de Bardin. Ao analisarmos os dados que os sujeitos entrevistados apresentaram considerando as unidades de sentido sobre determinados aspectos que permeiam a Formação Docente e Educação Inclusiva, destacamos questões dialéticas como as relações entre inclusão e exclusão, afetividade e conhecimento, teoria e prática, assim como apontamentos conflitantes que sinalizam determinadas angústias profissionais. Desta forma os resultados mostram que as representações dos professores acerca do objeto de estudo apresentam-se de forma variada, revelando a necessidade de redimensionamento de ações pedagógicas, profissionais e estruturais e estão aliadas às crenças, às convenções e à tradição que ao longo da história e da cultura educacional vem reforçando a imagem do aluno com necessidades educacionais especiais, associada à concepção de deficiência e de aluno que foge ao modelo estabelecido pela sociedade. A pesquisa ainda revela representações sociais que permeiam as construções psicossociais sobre formação e Educação Inclusiva, indicando que entre os valores e os conhecimentos priorizados para pensar e, conseqüentemente agir estão fortemente vinculados aceitação das diferenças a partir de ações solitárias, ou seja, de um protagonismo individual.
