AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Gayla Stoner, for the Doctor of Philosophy in Education degree, presented on May 16, 2015, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: INSTRUCTORS' PERCEPTIONS OF ONLINE INSTRUCTION WITHIN REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Barbara Hagler This qualitative study explored the perceptions of instructor use of online instruction within Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs). The study concentrated on experienced instructors within a RAP that is part of a long-term, well-established trade union located in a major metropolitan area in the Midwestern United States. This study was informed by the methodology of a constructivist case study, which included the following methods: document review, expert panel, and in-depth interviews. Swan, Garrison, and Richardson's (2009) process-oriented model of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) with a constructivist approach served as the conceptual framework to inform this study. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the body of knowledge of online instruction within RAPs. The focus of this research study described (a) how RAP instructors perceive online instruction, (b) how their perceptions might impact the learning experiences of adult learners, and (c) how the perception of online learning may be improved among such instructors. The Office of Apprenticeship, which is within U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Employment and Training Administration (ETA), recently revised regulations that now encourage the integration of technology-enhanced training into RAPs. Specifically, on October 29, 2008, the ETA, through its Office of Apprenticeship, exercised its statutory authority under the National Apprenticeship Act of 1937 and promulgated the first revision in more than 30 years to its longstanding regulatory rubric governing RAPs (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29, Part 29) (Labor, 2008). These revisions, published in Title 29, Part 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR Part 29), embrace the use of "electronic media," including "interactive distance learning," as permissible instructional vehicles for the technical training of RAP-enrolled apprentices (Labor, 2008). As a result of the revision of 29 CFR Part 29, RAPs now have the option to augment their formal training programs with non-traditional instructional modalities for the benefit of both apprentice-sponsoring employers and enrolled apprentices. Interviewee quotes are used throughout the study to illustrate the range of interviewee opinion and to support conclusions. These findings may enable the instructor to provide quality instruction by demonstrating the elements of presence described in the CoI process-oriented model. In addition, my findings indicated there is evidence of a CoI process-oriented model that helps facilitate quality online learning within this specific RAP. I also discovered that RAP instructors recognize and encourage the benefits of online instruction for the apprentice, which includes (a) increased training opportunities and (b) the ability to maintain adult lifestyles. Additionally, instructors serve as mentors for the apprentice by providing guidance and opportunities in regard to achieving their educational goals. Also, I found that perceptions of online learning will continue to improve through the ongoing support provided by the RAP. Support includes technology-based workshops and pedagogical-based professional development opportunities. Finally, RAP instructors must continue to be educated on the advantages online instruction can bring to the self-directed apprentice. Primary conclusions from the study are the revelation of a strong community establishment within this specific RAP. This community of learners support the apprentice's ability to contribute positively to the workforce through the attainment of educational goals. In addition, RAP instructors take ownership of the responsibility to provide flexible educational offerings to the apprentice. These offerings include the delivery of quality courses that result in the benefits gained through online instruction. Also, instructor support of resources must continue to remain a priority for the RAP. Finally, I concluded that the self-directed apprentice has similar attributes as the ideal online learner. Flowing from the study's conclusions are several recommendations for this specific RAP, as well as the Employment and Training Administration. My recommendations include the suggestions for online lifelong learning and professional development course offerings, as well as the comparison of the learning outcomes of apprentices based on delivery modes. I recommended assessments and evaluations or online program evaluation in RAPs. Also, I recommended instructor creation of a mechanism for evaluating the quality of online instruction within RAPs. I recommended that RAPs continue to consider additional paths for sustainable funding. Additionally, I recommended that RAP instructors should receive more knowledge and application training in regard to the utilization of the process-oriented model theoretical framework of the Community of Inquiry. Finally, I recommended the creation of a national advisory sub-committee to serve the Federal Advisory Committee on Apprenticeship. The sub-committee would be charged with the purpose of understanding and disseminating educational and technological instruction to enhance RAPs.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the learning preferences and learning strategies of apprentices, and the contexts within which they learn in their workplaces. Since the end of the 1980s Australian vocational education and training (VET) structures and processes have undergone radical change in attempts to develop skills in the workforce that will ensure enterprise, national, and international competitiveness. A major strategy in the national reforms has been the encouragement of flexible delivery as a means through which workplace-based learning can be accessed by a larger number of workers in ways that are cost-efficient, and that reduce the amount of time that workers spend away from their jobs. Although flexible delivery has been championed by governments and industry alike, there has been little attempt to identify the preparedness of either learners or their workplaces for the demands of flexible learning. The thesis examines the economic context for these changes to VET, and also examines the literature available on workplace learning. Additionally, the thesis examines the conceptualisations of flexible delivery that are available in the literature, pointing to the possibility that the wide range of meanings associated with the term flexible delivery may result in quite different practices and expectations. The thesis also examines the literature on independent learning and self-directed learning, and explores the concept of client-focused flexible delivery. The study of learner preferences uses data collected from apprentices over a period of some years, in the four occupational areas commanding the highest number of apprentices in Australia. These occupational areas are Metals and Machining, Building, Electrical, and Hairdressing. These data on learning preferences are collected using the commercially available Canfield Learning Styles Inventory (CLSI). The data from the sample of 389 apprentices are analysed statistically through analyses of variance, and indicate that variables such as age, gender, and occupational area are related to learning preferences. Apprentices are shown by this analysis to prefer structured programs of instruction that are instructor-led, and to not have a high preference for independent learning or the development of their own learning goals. Additionally, they are shown to have very low preferences for learning through reading, preferring instead to learn through direct hands-on experience. While these characteristics are largely common among the four occupational groups, the Hairdressing apprentices are shown to have a slightly higher preference for independent learning and goal setting. Females are shown to have a higher preference than males for learning qualitative material through reading. Interestingly, the younger apprentices are shown to have a higher preference than the older ones for self-directed learning. Some possibilities for that finding are discussed. The research also shows that the learning preferences displayed by different groups of apprentices in any one program are much the same over time, providing some confidence that data generated from one group of apprentices can be used to make instructional decisions for future groups in the same program. The data are also factor analysed to indicate three major factors underlying apprentice learning preferences. The first factor indicates a VerbalNon-verbal preference factor, with apprentices clearly preferring to learn through non-verbal means. A second factor is described as StructureContent, with apprentices showing a preference for learning from structured programs in a structured environment. A third factor, Self-directedSocial preference, indicates apprentices preferring to learn through socially mediated presentations and contexts rather than through more independent forms of learning. Qualitative data are also generated through interviewing eight apprentices, and focusing on the learning strategies they employ while constructing knowledge in the workplace. That component of the research uses a modification of the Marland, Patching and Putt (1992a, 1992b) stimulated recall technique, and a set of learning strategies derived from the work of OMalley and Chamot (1990) and Billett (1996a). The eight apprentices are drawn from the Metals and Machining, Electrical, and Hairdressing trades. The findings indicate that the learning strategies most often used by apprentices in the workplace are those associated with the construction of knowledge that is structured and provided by the instructor or learning program, and those that include social mediation of learning. Additionally, the strategies associated with demonstration and hands-on practice are most favoured. The qualitative data are confirmatory of the quantitative data. The research also indicates, through the apprentice interviews, that support for apprentices learning in their workplace is typically unplanned and haphazard. Their experience was sometimes characterised by a reluctance on the part of the workplace to acknowledge learning needs such as trialling and practice of new knowledge, or pro-actively seeking understanding from other more skilled workers. The learning preferences and learning strategies findings for apprentices, coupled with the findings of typically poor or unplanned support in the workplace, indicate that effective flexible delivery of training to apprentices in the workplace provides a number of challenges. These challenges, it is argued, demand strategies to be developed and implemented to prepare both learners and workplaces for effective engagement with flexible delivery. Using as a theoretical framework Kembers (1995) two-dimensional model of open learning for adults, the thesis integrates the findings into a proposed two-dimensional model of learner and workplace preparedness for flexible delivery. The model provides for a Learner Development Space, a Workplace Development Space, and a Strategy Space. Within the Learner Development Space, focuses for the development of learner preparedness are identified in terms of self-directed learning, skills developments, and effective participation in a community of practice. Focuses for workplace development identified in the Workplace Development Space are those associated with development of training policies, training structures, and trainer skills and abilities. The Strategy Space then provides detail of seventy-nine specific strategies developed to enhance learner and workplace preparedness within each of the focuses identified.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a research study that investigated student learning in a mentor supported design office situation, using a cognitive apprenticeship learning approach that utilised authentic design project tusks. In this study, 29 final year Technical And Further Education (TAFE) building design students undertook authentic building design projects with expert building designers, who acted as mentors, in commercial design office situations. The mentors guided student learning by using a cognitive apprenticeship approach to learning, implemented with authentic design projects designed to replicate the everyday culture of practice activities typical of commercial design office operations. This study follows the progress of these students as they worked in collaboration with their mentors in the design and presentation of design solutions developed for the projects. Data about the students' learning experiences in this setting were collected and analysed to determine their learning outcomes, the kinds of knowledge acquired and the means through which knowledge was transferred in the study situation. A holistic interpretivistic approach was used to collect data in three phases. The first of these was a pilot-study with the other two phases providing the main data gathering parts of the study. Much of the focus of the third phase of this study was on verifying findings emergent from analysis of data collected in the first two phases, as well as seeking greater understanding of the study phenomena. Throughout each of the three phases, data were collected from multiple sources, which included interviews, direct observations, personal journals and drawings. Analysis of the data showed that using cognitive apprenticeship learning methods organised around mentor supported authentic projects implemented in authentic commercial design office situations provided successful transfer of declarative, tacit and procedural knowledge from the mentor to the students. This thesis concludes with recommendations for the classroom application of cognitive apprenticeship learning methods, as used by the expert building designers who participated in this research.

Abstract:

Bibliography: pages 107-120.
This thesis explores the decline and transmutation of the apprenticeship system in South Africa, specifically as it occurred in the metal and engineering industry. It proceeds to analyse the most basic and influential imperatives which have driven this process. On the side of capital, these imperatives were the inexorable motive for a profit driven industrial organisation and on the side of organised labour, the imperatives to protect skills, jobs and wages. The existence of the one set of imperatives presupposed the need to redefine the existence of the other set. These contradictory imperatives have shaped the trajectory of the apprenticeship system in South Africa. They were contradictory because the one was an impediment on the untrammelled extension of the other. However, as the imperative of profit maximisation gradually became the predominant consideration in the relationship, it began to exert greater pressure on the character of the apprenticeship system. Within the apprenticeship training system, the imperative of profit maximization prioritised price calculation as the dominant consideration by which decisions and trajectories were chartered. Since the state mediated the relationship between the various economic interests in society, its interventions merely curtailed a more rapid consolidation of the effects of a profit driven industrial organisational imperative, within the apprenticeship training system. The triumph of the profit maximization imperative, systematically eroded the system of apprenticeship training in the metal and engineering industry of South Africa. An institutional inertia within the South African state resulted in the manifestation of erosive effects within institutions of the state empowered with governing and managing human resources development. This institutional inertia within the state was an accompaniment to the broader erosion of the apprenticeship training system at the workplace.

Abstract:

The Eastern Cape Region, once had sufficient job seekers with automotive component manufacturing skills and experience. Indications are that this pool has been desiccated. The draining of skills out of the area is starting to affect growth potential and competitiveness in the industry in the area. In 1998, the Skills Development Act was passed to implement the National Skills Development Plan, and to encourage employers to train personnel. The strategy promotes a three faceted approach to encourage the development of skills; Workplace Skills Development Plans, Learnerships and Sector Specific Initiatives. This study will focus on the implementation of learnerships in the Catalytic Converter Canning Industry. The aim of this research is to verify the skills shortages; identify which skills are required by the Catalytic Converter Canning Industry in the Eastern Cape and propose a strategy of addressing these needs by means of learnerships. By studying the Legislation supporting the National Skills Development Plan, conducting a literature study, and interviewing knowledgeable people in the industry, the skills requirements of the industry were identified. Thereafter, a questionnaire was drawn up and completed together with representatives from Eberspächer South Africa, Faurecia Exhaust Systems South Africa, Precision Exhaust Systems and Tenneco Automotive South Africa, the active manufacturers of catalytic converters, for OEM’s worldwide, who are based in the Eastern Cape Region. The empirical study confirmed the findings of the research and skills deficiencies were identified. In conclusion, a strategy is proposed whereby the Catalytic Converter Canning Industry could address the skills shortage by the implementation and development of learnerships.

Abstract:

Thesis (MTech (Business Administration)--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018.
In South Africa the government, industry and communities have placed pressure on Higher Education Institutions to deal with general skills shortage: whilst they prepare students to meet requirements and standards which industry expects. Universities of Technology are empowering students with theory, combining it with practical experience to generate graduates that are ready to meet industry’s demands and professional expectations. However, it has not proved easy to place students.The researcher has attempted to establish from companies the reasons the challenges and barriers posed during the Work Integrated Learning process. Work-Integrated Learning is important in bridging the gap between graduate attributes and industry expectations and the significant role that it plays in bridging the gap between graduate attributes and industry expectations. The workplace is a source of learning for students.The feedback from industry supervisors should be seen as an integral part of assessing students’ readiness for the world of work. The purpose of this research is to ascertain how managers deal with students during the Work-Integrated Learning period.The results of the study create foundation for future developments and research. It will also inform the development of an effective and innovative Work-Integrated Learning curriculum that is more supportive academically, and that encourages professional excellence and produces work-ready graduates. A qualitative research method was used in the study. Fifteen financial services managers from different companies were individually interviewed. Ethical approval for the study was sought and obtained. The results demonstrated that the managers experienced mixed feelings regarding their experience when supervising students in their respective companies. A closer examination of the managers’ responses, however, revealed that they had high expectations of students that participated in WIL, coupled with the quality of training provided by the Higher Education Institutions. These expectations include the following: effective time management, especially when reporting for work; regular attendance and team work, good and effective communication between company and the hosting university; and for WIL students to work independently, were all regarded as important.Although some managers had positive experiences of supervising students, there were those that expressed concerns about students’ levels of work readiness, as some indicated that students lacked self-confidence, while others raised concerns about students’ attitudes and lack of work ethics. It is recommended that the WIL programme should include activities that will enhance students’ confidence, independence and work-effectiveness. A collaborative effort should be made between various stakeholders that are involved in WIL: The need to give feedback to students on a full range of skills and competencies in the workplace, has not been extensively studied; hence an attempt by the researcher to establish some of the industry managers’ experiences in this regard.

There are a plethora of medium and small-sized manufacturing companies that do not rely completely on autonomous systems. As a result, it is more economical to use a mixture of human labor and manufacturing robots; however, with the thousands of people who apply for these jobs, many do not have the experience to work along-side robots or understand how robots works. The research described by this thesis introduces a solution to this problem through TeachBot, an automated, hands-on apprenticeship program. TeachBot seeks to empower manufacturing workers with the skills necessary to work collaboratively with robots in the manufacturing industry. Through the use of ROS, the program teaches key topics in robotics such as encoders, kinematics, feedback, and programming through multiple interactive modules. TeachBot is setup with three main components: a JSON file of instructions, a JavaScript file, and a python file. The JavaScript file parses the instructions and sends commands to the python script. The python script then sends these commands to the robot. This process allows TeachBot to be modular and universal such that it can be modified easily and applied to any robot. This research focuses on implementing TeachBot onto the Sawyer Robot and the possible extension to the Universal Robot 5e.

Chronic disease is the most important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, but the current standard of care is woefully ineffective. It is paternalistic, episodic, and perversely incentivized based on volume, resulting in poor outcomes at extraordinary cost. Technology-supported apprenticeship is a model of chronic disease management that embraces the contribution of the patient. It is collaborative, continuous, and designed to achieve value through improvement in the experience, clinical outcomes, and cost of care. In this model, patients are the novice apprentices of master clinicians. A software platform called CollaboRhythm provides applications on mobile phones and tablets as scaffolding for collaboration. Tracking tools document progress, visualizations highlight associations between actions and outcomes, and personalized decision support encourages self-efficacy. Powerful virtual visits and instant messaging allow master clinicians to provide adaptive coaching within the context of daily life rather than in the artificial environment of the office. Apprentice patients have the potential to become master coaches themselves; thus producing an exponentially scaling health ecosystem at minimal cost. Two randomized, controlled trials were conducted to evaluate if technology-supported apprenticeship could augment the "best of the best" in office-based care and scale it via virtual deployment. Apprentice patients for basal insulin titration at the Joslin Diabetes Center were more satisfied with their care than controls, achieved better outcomes (-3.1% vs. -2.5% HbA1C), and did so with minimal increase in cost ($206). Those for hypertension management at the Massachusetts General Hospital were also more satisfied with their care, achieved better outcomes (-26.3 vs. -15.9 mmHg SBP), and did so with negligible increase in cost ($14). Over a longer period of time, apprenticeship is projected to produce better outcomes at decreased cost. Technology-supported apprenticeship has extraordinary potential, but the paternalistic culture of medicine and its volume-based economic model present significant impediments. Future work needs to address longer durations of coaching, greater numbers of apprentices per coach, patients as coaches, other chronic diseases, and patients with comorbidities.

Abstract:

While academic nursing programs teach the concepts and theory of providing care, these programs cannot provide sufficient experiential learning to prepare the nurse for all that might be faced in diverse clinical practice settings. As a result, each nurse faces transition to practice hardships with the first nursing role and again each time the clinical setting changes. The Specialty Nurse Residency intervention offers support and instruction during the crucial transition period. Efficacy of the intervention is evaluated based on data analysis from pre and post-intervention survey responses. This quantitative, descriptive study solicits feedback from experienced staff to answer the question: Are the positive outcomes of the Specialty Nurse Residency program reproducible in specialty units other than the Burn ICU as evidenced by preceptor, manager and educator feedback before and after program implementation? The intervention engages new-to-specialty nurses within an evidence-based support system that validates competence and development of clinical reasoning skills. Preceptor development and support are key elements of intervention and program delivery, as these crucial staff members safeguard program and learner success.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Democratic South African government inaugurated in 1994 identified the need for intermediate skills that are required to contribute to the growth of the economy and to reduce the high unemployment rate. Further Education and Training Colleges (FETC) were established after 1994 by merging the former 152 technical colleges into 50 FETCs. The function of these FETCs was to offer intermediate skills to the youth, women, and employed and unemployed South Africans. The South African government introduced a number of strategies, Acts and policies to support the colleges and to implement demand-driven intermediate skills programmes which would close the skills gap and improve the growth of the economy. These policies seek to ensure that skills offered at colleges are aligned to the needs of industry and to make sure that the college programmes will be in demand in the work place. The study presented is aimed at investigating this alignment by evaluating how apprentices in the final stage of their vocational training perform and meet the demands at their work places. A number of strategies used by different countries to support and develop their education systems are discussed. The discussion is directed at considering how vocational education ensures a positive contribution to skills development and what its impact is on the growth of the economy. This study provides a comprehensive policy and legislative framework which governs and supports the higher education institutions and the FETCs. The study was designed to determine whether welding apprentices from the College are, according to the work place staff and management and stakeholder bodies, appropriately equipped with vocational skills and knowledge to execute their duties at the work place. The evaluation and analysis of the data extracted from the responses of the interviews and questionnaires are presented and discussed. The results enabled the researcher to conclude that the evaluation of apprentice performance at the work place provides significant insight into the question of how vocational training and knowledge at the WCFETC meet the demands at the work place. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations are made.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die demokratiese Suid-Afrikaanse Regering, wat in 1994 ingehuldig is, het die behoefte aan intermediêre vaardighede om die groei van die ekonomie en die van die hoë werkloosheidssyfer te verlig, geïdentifiseer. Verdere Onderwys en Opleiding Kolleges (VOOKS) is na 1994 totstand gebring deur die samesmelting van 152 voormalige Tegniese kolleges tot 50 VOOKS. Die funksie van die Verdere Onderwys en Opleiding Kolleges was om intermediêre vaardighede aan die jeug, vrouens en Suid-Afrikaners in diens of werkloos, te verskaf. Die Suid-Afrikaanse Regering het ´n aantal strategieë, wette en beleidsrigtings aangeneem om die kolleges te ondersteun en om die aanvraag-gedrewe intermediêre vaardigheidsprogramme te implementeer wat dan die vaardigheidsgaping sou vernou en die groei van die ekonomie sou bevorder. Hierdie beleidsrigting beoog om te verseker dat vaardighede wat by die Kolleges aangebied word, belyn is met die industrie as ook om te verseker dat die kollege programme benodig word in die werksplek. Die studie is gemik daarop om hierdie belyning te ondersoek en te evalueer hoe vakleerlinge in die laaste stadium van hulle ambagsopleiding vaar, en voldoen aan die eise van die werksplek. ´n Aantal strategieë wat deur verskillende lande gebruik word, om hulle eie opvoedingsstelsels te ontwikkel, word bespreek. Die bespreking verwys na hoe ambagsopvoeding ´n toevoeging tot vaardigheidsontwikkeling kan verseker en wat die impak daarvan op die groei van die ekonomie het. ´n Alomvattende beleid en ´n wetsraamwerk, wat Hoër OpvoedingsInstansies en die Verdere Onderwys en Opleiding Kolleges beheer en ondersteun, word verskaf.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
Esta tese objetiva estudar o encontro dos jovens com o mundo do trabalho a partir de sua passagem por um programa de aprendizes em uma grande empresa privada brasileira com sede no Rio de Janeiro. Fazem parte do programa de aprendizes dessa empresa jovens entre 15 e 21 anos de ambos os sexos que moram em regiões diferentes do Estado, em geral na Baixada Fluminense ou em favelas cariocas pertencentes a famílias de baixa renda. Busca-se refletir sobre as questões que emergem no encontro dos jovens com o universo organizacional assim como compreender os significados concedidos por eles ao trabalho no que se refere às suas expectativas de futuro e aos seus projetos de vida. Parte-se da compreensão de que vivenciamos um momento de crise no qual toda a sociedade vem sofrendo profundas transformações com impactos diversos para os sujeitos contemporâneos e para a produção de subjetividades. A juventude, em especial, vem sendo atingida diretamente por esse cenário fazendo com que a passagem para a vida adulta seja um desafio. Nesse sentido, o governo brasileiro vem desenvolvendo políticas públicas voltadas para a juventude, dentre as quais a Lei de Aprendizagem faz parte. Esta foi criada pelo Ministério do Trabalho e do Emprego visando apoiar o jovem em sua inserção no mercado de trabalho e estabelece que organizações tanto públicas quanto privadas devem contratar obrigatoriamente um percentual de moças e rapazes entre 14 e 24 anos em regime especial de aprendizagem para conceder-lhes formação técnico-profissional. Para alcance dos objetivos da tese, foi realizada ampla pesquisa qualitativa de campo ao longo dos anos de 2010 e 2011 na qual foram utilizados instrumentos diversos para a coleta de dados: entrevistas individuais, focus group, observações e intervenções de campo que se concentraram na seleção dos aprendizes, em algumas ações de treinamento pelo qual passaram e no seu dia a dia de aprendizado na empresa. Os dados mais significativos coletados em campo foram analisados a partir de referências teórico-bibliográficas da Psicologia e de outras áreas de saber das Ciências Humanas e Sociais que dessem suporte à sua compreensão. Como alguns dos principais resultados obtidos na pesquisa, pode-se destacar que a ocupação profissional para a qual os jovens são preparados durante sua formação no programa de aprendizado não está necessariamente vinculada aos desejos de carreira que possuem para seu futuro. Os projetos de vida que denotam a busca por estabilidade são pautados em carreiras que requerem a realização do ensino superior. O encontro dos jovens com o universo da empresa não é simples, requer a aprendizagem de formas de falar e de se portar que são bem-vindas ou não. São essas formas de saber assim como o sentido de responsabilidade que ganham ao terem tarefas a realizar os principais aprendizados que os jovens carregam da experiência vivida. Por outro lado, a empresa ainda possui dificuldades para lidar com esses jovens percebendo-os a partir de estereótipos ligados às suas origens socioeconômicas que acabam por gerar mecanismos de desenvolvimento com teor civilizatório.
This thesis aims to study the encounter of youngsters with the world of work from their passage through an apprenticeship program in a large Brazilian private company headquartered in Rio de Janeiro. Took part of the apprenticeship program from this company youngsters aged 15 to 21 years old of both sexes living in different regions of the state, usually in Baixada Fluminense or in Rio de Janeiro's favelas (slums). It is an objective to reflect on the issues that emerge in the encounter of young people with the organizational universe as well as understanding the meanings given by them to work in relation to their expectations for the future and their life projects. It starts with the understanding that we experience a moment of crisis in which the whole society is undergoing profound changes with many impacts to contemporary subjects and for the production of subjectivities. The youth in particular has been hit directly by this scenario making that the transition to adulthood to be a challenge. In this sense, the Brazilian Government has been developing public policies for youth; among them is the Apprenticeship Law. This was established by the Ministry of Labor and Employment to support the youth in their integration into the labor market and states that both public and private organizations should hire a mandatory percentage of girls and boys between 14 and 24 years old under special learning regime to give them technical and professional training. To achieve the objectives of the thesis, it was conducted extensive qualitative field research over the years 2010 and 2011 in which several instruments were used for data collection: individual interviews, focus group, field observations and interventions that have focused on the selection of apprentices, in some training activities through which they passed, and in their everyday learning in the company. The most significant data collected in the field were analyzed from theoretical and bibliographic references of Psychology and other areas of knowledge from the Humanities and Social Sciences that supported their understanding. As some of the main results obtained in this research, it can be emphasized that the occupation for which young people are prepared during their training in the apprenticeship program is not necessarily linked to the career desire they have for their future. The life projects that show the search for stability are lined in careers that require the completion of higher education. The meeting of young people with the company universe is not simple, requires learning of ways of speaking and behaving that are welcome or not. These are the ways of "knowing-how" as well as the sense of responsibility that they earn along the tasks to achieve the key lessons that young people carry from the lived experience. Moreover, the company still has trouble dealing with these youngsters perceiving them from stereotypes linked to their socioeconomic backgrounds that end up generating mechanisms of development with "civilizational content.

Abstract:

Since ‘Modern Apprenticeships’ were first introduced in England in 1994, government supported apprenticeships have gone undergone a series of transformations leading to them being underpinned since 2009 by statute and taking a central role in the current UK Government’s state-led vocational skills and education programmes for England. Accordingly, the numbers of people starting and completing apprenticeship programmes each year has increased rapidly, but these increases have also seen expansion in the support structures provided by central government, organisations and businesses. It is these ‘support structures’ that are the focus of this thesis; uncovering who the actors are and what roles they perform in the provision of England’s government-supported apprenticeship programme. Conducting interviews with a variety of people and organisations from government through to employers, this thesis considers apprenticeship in England by way of the public and private organisations that perform these varying roles. Beginning with two quotations which between them offer ideas of structure (‘script’) and agency (‘improvisation’), the research introduces an innovative use of an ancient symbol called a ‘triquetra’ (‘three cornered’) to create an ‘Apprenticeship Triquetra’. In the ‘Apprenticeship Triquetra’, three initial groups of actors – government, employers and training providers – and the many other organisations and businesses that operate in the spaces between them, are juxtaposed with their functional counterparts of governance, employment and education. The Apprenticeship Triquetra then explores the relationships between these ‘actors’ and ‘factors’ through sociological theories of Foucault’s (1978) governmentality thesis and Actor Network Theory (Latour, 1987; Law, 1987). By adding a historical lens to the concepts and theories and drawing a Ii distinction between the apprenticeship ‘programme’ and the apprenticeship ‘system’, apprenticeship is shown to be a site of complex social interactions and vested interests. This multifaceted research presents a unique critique of apprenticeships in England and concludes with three findings. The first is that there appears to be a concerning level of commodification that has developed in the apprenticeship system. The second finding relates to the way in which the power of the government has been used to direct the apprenticeship programme and system. The third finding constitutes that of an observation born out of this thesis’ historical and contemporary narratives: apprenticeship acts as a social barometer reflecting broader social contexts

Abstract:

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD
Skills development policies in South Africa and further afield consider learning in and from the workplace as critical to the training of artisans at intermediate level. Since the inception of democracy, South Africa has become part of a globally competitive economic arena where highly skilled workers capable of engaging with new technology in a changing environment are increasingly required. Continuous innovation, it is held (Kraak, 1997), is dependent on the presence of two knowledge forms in society and work: an abundance of formal (scientific and technological) knowledge, and skilled worker 'know-how' or tacit knowledge. In the present system of technical and vocational education, theoretical learning and some practical skills are obtained in institutions, mostly in the recently renamed TVET colleges, while job specific training occurs through prescribed periods of work placement. In light of common assumptions about the value of workplace learning, this research was concerned with exploring whether, and how such learning is taking place. It sought to understand the methodologies, practices, and affordances available to learning in the workplace, from the perspective of candidate apprenticeship/learnership students. To this end this study employed a qualitative approach for investigating how candidates experienced and interacted with the 'real world environment' of the workplace. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposively selected sample comprising candidates engaged in programmes that necessitated a workplace learning component, namely, the apprenticeship and learnership in fitting and turning, motor/diesel and the auto electrical trades. Data analysis was undertaken using both Atlas ti software and manual methods for coding and identification of themes. Lenses used to describe and explain learning in the workplace included the conceptual frameworks of Engestrom‘s (1987) Activity theory; Vygotsky‘s (1978) notion of learning via the 'expert other' within a Zone of Proximal Development; and Lave and Wenger‘s (1991) theorising of situated learning in Communities of Practice. This triangular juxtaposition of complementary theories formed a richly informative explanatory system for my further exploration. As a qualified artisan myself I was familiar with the negative connotations of a historical 'sit by Nellie' approach, a phrase used to caricature the way apprentices learned in the past, by simply being passive observers of the experts. However, my findings were to reveal a vastly different picture of learning in this modern, visual and tactile age. Learners in this study experienced a range of learning modalities, methodologies and affordances that were reported in 'thick' descriptions, building a vivid picture of engagement and interaction. In addition to the abundance of learning opportunities candidates experienced, their responses revealed the indisputably central role played by 'expert others' in moving them towards competence – the expert artisan emerging as the quintessential didactic practitioner. This thesis proceeds to highlight the experiences of candidates on their learning journey in the workplace, and suggests recommendations in respect of these. Key learnings are distilled, which ultimately point to the need for collective effort in appreciating and retaining for the benefit of future generations of artisans, the mentoring potential that exists in our expert artisans wherever they may be found.

Abstract:

Fundamentado no estÃgio e sua relaÃÃo com o desenvolvimento de competÃncias profissionais, este estudo pautou-se em trÃs questÃes norteadoras: 1) Quais as competÃncias adquiridas ou desenvolvidas pelos egressos de AdministraÃÃo oriundos de programas de estÃgio? Em que medida o estÃgio agregou na formaÃÃo no tocante Ãs competÃncias profissionais? E quais dessas competÃncias desenvolvidas estÃo em consonÃncia com as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para o curso de AdministraÃÃo? A partir dessas questÃes, este estudo teve como principal objetivo verificar a percepÃÃo dos egressos de AdministraÃÃo da Universidade Federal do CearÃ sobre quais e em que grau as competÃncias profissionais foram desenvolvidas a partir de programas de estÃgio realizados e quais estÃo contempladas pelas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais. A sua relevÃncia consiste em abordar e contribuir com temas contemporÃneos como estÃgio e competÃncia, na Ãtica de egressos de AdministraÃÃo que realizaram estÃgios. O estudo caracterizou-se como exploratÃrio, descritivo e de natureza qualitativa. A pesquisa bibliogrÃfica abordou assuntos relacionados Ã educaÃÃo e trabalho, competÃncias e estÃgio de estudantes. A pesquisa de campo foi aplicada a 40 egressos da UFC que concluÃram seus cursos nos anos de 2005, 2006 e 2007. No processo de coleta de dados utilizou-se como instrumento o questionÃrio estruturado e anÃnimo. Para suporte na anÃlise de dados utilizou-se o Excel. Os resultados da pesquisa permitiram concluir que o estÃgio contribui para aproximar a relaÃÃo teoria e prÃtica e desenvolver competÃncias importantes para a formaÃÃo profissional, inserÃÃo e permanÃncia no mercado de trabalho e no desenvolvimento da carreira.
Based on the apprenticeship and its relation with the development of professional competences, this study was ruled by three guiding questions: 1) What are the competences acquired or developed by the former students of Administration derived from the apprenticeship programs? 2) How much has the apprenticeship contributed to improve the professional competences? 3) Which of these competences, in the Administration course, match the National Curricular Rules? Based on these questions, this study had as its main objective to verify in the conception of former students from the Administration course in the Federal University of CearÃ, which competences and how much they were developed during the programs of apprenticeship, and which of them were agreed with the National Curricular Rules. Its relevance consists of approaching and contributing with modern themes such as apprenticeship and competence, through the former students in Administration view who had undergone the apprenticeships. The present study had an exploratory and descriptive characteristic. The bibliographical research approached issues related to education and work, as well as competences and students‟ apprenticeship. The field research involved 40 former students that had finished their courses in the following years: 2005, 2006, and 2007. In the process of data collection, a structures and anonymous questionnaire was used as a tool. Excel program was used as a support to data analysis. The research results allowed us to conclude that the apprenticeship contribute to approximate the relation between theory and practice as well as to develop competences that are important to the Professional formation, insertion and permanence into the working market and the development of the career too.

In attempts to address a skills gap, the state of South Carolina established Apprenticeship Carolina in 2007 which helps businesses create federally registered apprenticeships. Apprenticeship Carolina is a newer addition to the longstanding worker-training programs that make up the South Carolina Technical College System's Division of Economic Development. In the Charleston area, actors in the public and private sectors have partnered with the region's technical college (Trident Technical College or "Trident Tech") and leveraged Apprenticeship Carolina to create robust adult and youth apprenticeship programs in addition to leading other new workforce initiatives. At the same time, the local economy is growing and diversifying rapidly in the fields of advanced manufacturing, information technology, and other STEM-related sectors. This makes Trident Technical College's work in Charleston an attractive case study on apprenticeships as a means for addressing skills gaps. Since 2007, Trident Tech, businesses, and community partners have expanded the number of adult apprenticeships and created a regional youth apprenticeship program where both programs offer positions in career pathways in diverse sectors. This thesis examines what program administrators, community partners, and participating businesses ("sponsors") believe is working well and where there could be improvements.

Abstract:

This study examined how middle school students planned to obtain future STEM college majors and careers through a possible selves curriculum in a 13-week, in-school cognitive apprenticeship model. STEM undergraduates mentored STEM-interested middle school mentees (N= 21) from six under-served middle schools. Through possible selves activities, mentees worked on strategies to avoid becoming their feared possible self and become their hoped-for possible self. In the middle of the semester, mentee self-reported competency in STEM fields, motivation, administrator-reported STEM course grades, and STEM attendance were collected. On average, mentees felt 10.67% more motivated to pursue STEM than they felt competent in STEM. Mentees who reported higher competency tended to have higher course grades, and mentees who reported higher motivation tended to have higher attendance, although attendance was high overall, indicating insufficient sample size or variance to demonstrate significance. Mentees who attended class more tended to have a higher course grade but the same statistical issue occurred in that there may not have been a significant correlation due to sampling and self- selection biases. The majority of mentees identified unrelated possible selves, defined concrete self-improvement and abstract self-maintenance strategies, identified self-discipline as a requirement in middle school, described intellectual independence and teacher harmony strategies to solve everyday problems in middle school, identified instructivist college requirements, described responsibility as a transferable strategy, and dependence on an expert as a nontransferable strategy to solve long-term problems in college to obtain their STEM possible self.

O Programa de Aprendizagem Profissional - Jovem Aprendiz – foco deste estudo, oferece qualificação e trabalho para jovens visando proporcionar-lhes formação técnico-profissional na área do comércio de bens, serviços e turismo e acesso a empregos formais. O presente estudo tem como objetivo aprofundar o estudo do referido programa do chamado Sistema S, de uma instituição de ensino profissionalizante localizada em Porto Alegre, no sentido de verificar como os aprendizes percebem as normas de convivência do curso na sua formação profissional, a validade de cumpri-las e as sanções pelo não cumprimento, uma vez que as mesmas não levam em conta as características das juventudes contemporâneas das periferias urbanas. A pesquisa tem um caráter qualitativo, na dimensão de estudo de caso, e está inserida no campo dos Estudos Culturais em um viés pós-estruturalista. São utilizados como referências autores como Bauman (2001, 2013), Dayrell (2003, 2007), Feixa (1999), Garbin (2005, 2006, 2009), Margulis (1998), Urresti (1998), Xavier (2002), levando em conta algumas dimensões das abordagens foucaultianas. O estudo aborda as seguintes questões: como os alunos, sendo jovens e trabalhadores, encaram a importância dada pelo Programa ao cumprimento das normas de convivência exigidas na sua formação uma vez que não levam em conta as características dos jovens das periferias urbanas? E quais são as expectativas desses jovens em relação ao seu futuro profissional? Os resultados permitem constatar as tensões existentes entre as práticas culturais dos jovens estudados e as exigências do curso. No estudo a relevância social do Programa não é questionada, embora ele se proponha a problematizá-lo a fim de que não se fique de fora “da busca por inventar outras práticas e participar de outras relações sociais, educacionais, políticas e culturais” (MEYER; PARAÍSO, 2012, p. 17).
The Professional Learning Programme - Young Apprentice - focus of this study, offers training and work for young people in order to provide them with technical and professional training in the area of trade in goods, services, tourism and access to formal jobs. This study aims to deepen the study of the said program called System S, a vocational educational institution located in Porto Alegre, to see how learners realize the course of living standards in professional training, the validity of fulfill them and penalties for non-compliance, since they do not take into account the characteristics of contemporary youth in urban peripheries. The research has a qualitative character, the size of the case study, and it operates in the field of Cultural Studies in a post-structuralist bias. They are used as references to authors Bauman (2001, 2013), Dayrell (2003, 2007), Feixa (1999), Garbin (2005, 2006, 2009), Margulis (1998), Urresti (1998), Xavier (2002), taking into account some dimensions of Foucault approaches. The study addresses the following questions: how students, and youth and workers, regard the importance the program to comply with the coexistence standards required in their training since they do not take into account the characteristics of young people in urban peripheries? And what are the expectations of these young people in relation to your professional future? The results help determine the tensions between cultural practices of young people studied and the requirements of the course. In the study the social relevance of the program is not questioned, although he intends to problematize it in order that they do not miss out "of seeking to invent other practices and participate in other social, educational, political and cultural".

Abstract:

This research investigates "Project African Dawn" (PAD), a collaborative educational equine skills apprenticeship programme, funded by the International League for the Protection of Horses (ILPH) of Great Britain and hosted by the Cart Horse Protection Association in Cape Town (South Africa). The intention of the programme was to transfer expertise in farriery, saddlery and harness-making, and to create a sustainable development programme. The apprentices were 'second-chance learners' drawn from the local carting community. This research focuses on their perceptions of how the PAD equine skills courses impacted on their identity, their workplace practices and their desire for Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) language, literacy and numeracy or small business development courses. An ethnographic, interpretive, qualitative methodology was employed; a ten-point questionnaire guided the semi-structured interviews with a diverse group of apprentices. These were chosen as being representative of the apprentice population in terms of age, education, cultural and language group. Background interviews were also conducted with course facilitators, programme leaders and members of the community. These data sources were complemented by observations and documentary sources. The conceptual framework drew on the Situated Learning and Communities of Practice model of Lave and Wenger (1993); Experiential Learning theories, Social Literacy theories and Work-Based Learning models. The findings indicate that the PAD programme had a significant impact on the identity of apprentices - enhancing not only their self-image but also their status in the community. The technological skills they acquired corrected and improved their workplace practices not only to their benefit, but also that of their horses and community, and contributed to economic advancement. Most apprentices were interested in further courses in small business development, but not in ABET language and literacy, and the implications of this are explored.

Abstract:

What is a Programme-led Apprenticeship (PLA)? What do we know about how they are being delivered by Further Education (FE) colleges? Is it an Apprenticeship or is it a programme leading to an Apprenticeship? What do we know about the learners who participate in them and what do employers and colleges think of them? PLAs were announced in 2001 with the intention that learners would start in a college and work towards the technical certificate requirement of an Apprenticeship before moving into the workplace to complete the National Vocational Qualification (NVQ). By 2005, the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) confirmed 34,000 learners were on PLAs across FE colleges in England. These were learners on existing full-time vocational courses or stand-alone NVQs requested by the LSC to transfer to PLAs. Shortly after, the LSC confirmed it had met the Apprenticeship targets set by the Department for Education and Skills. Of the original 34,000 learners, less than 10% successfully completed the programme. Despite low completion rates no research was commissioned to determine why so few learners progressed to the NVQ. Instead, PLAs received ministerial approval in 2007. This study explores how PLAs are being implemented and what they mean to learners, employers and colleges. Qualitative research methods were used and included two rounds of interviews with learners five months apart. Interviews were also carried out with employers and college representatives. The research shows colleges are delivering PLAs in different ways. Too few learners move onto employed Apprenticeships and too many learners participate in tokenistic work placements that do not involve real training.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis describes and analyses vocational learning in school and workplaces, particularly the vocational learning involved in becoming a construction worker in Sweden. This includes learning the trade in upper secondary school education and a subsequent apprenticeship. An underlying argument is that activities in these contexts enable a diverse vocational learning outcome. However, there are potential tensions and contradictions, especially between production- and education-oriented aspects of the learning activities in these settings. To address these and associated issues, two research questions were posed. First, how do work-based activities enable vocational learning? Second, what forms of learning are enabled in school and work life settings and how are these forms of learning constituted? These questions were addressed using information drawn from observations, interviews and a survey. Analyses of the data, using a theoretical framework based on activity and forms of learning theory, show that the school and workplace settings enable different types of learning that form a joint constructed object. Further, the contexts provide diverse tasks that, with guidance from more experienced persons, can enhance the learning outcomes. So, vocational learning is enabled through tensions in the activity systems that form a learning outcome. In project-based vocational education and training (PBVET) provided in upper secondary school, vocational learning is enabled through basic training and opportunities to learn key techniques. In subsequent apprenticeships, the transformation of basic knowledge into specialized knowledge is enabled through close guidance and by the apprentices performing complex tasks. There are also clear differences in the freedom allowed in the performance of tasks between the PBVET and apprenticeships. The PBVET does not allow students to develop and apply their own solutions, while apprentices are encouraged to discover and implement solutions that enhance the performance of tasks. So, different forms of learning are enabled in the two contexts; the PBVET largely promotes reproductive learning and the apprenticeships largely promote productive learning. Scope for improvement was detected, as the PBVET does not appear to provide knowledge that fully meets criteria in the syllabuses, and the apprenticeship does not fully meet the learners’ educational needs. However, the settings provide complementary vocational learning opportunities. Thus, tensions and contradictions can be identified in the activity systems in the school and workplace settings that collectively form the boundaries of a learning outcome that largely corresponds to what the learners need to know and (hence) become construction workers.

O presente estudo aborda a iniciação à docência no processo da aprendizagem docente. Para isso, tomou o Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência-PIBID na Universidade do Estado da Bahia-UNEB, como lócus de investigação e com o objetivo de compreender como a iniciação à docência se relaciona no processo da aprendizagem da docência a partir da experiência do Programa na instituição. Partindo do argumento de que a aprendizagem da docência é um processo itinerante e nômade, que ocorre em diversos espaços de aprendizagem (FRÓES, 2000) foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa qualitativa em 04 (quatro) Departamentos da UNEB a partir de seus subprojetos vinculados ao Projeto Institucional da UNEB. A pesquisa de base qualitativa e natureza fenomenológica, contou com a colaboração de dez bolsistas de iniciação à docência do PIBID da Universidade do Estado da Bahia – BA. As fontes de análise foram selecionadas com base no objetivo do estudo e consideraram a aprendizagem, a formação e a licenciatura como elementos estruturantes para a realização da pesquisa. Como dispositivos de pesquisa foram realizadas as análises de documentos, entrevistas semiestruturadas e grupos focais. As análises partiram das proposições que fundamentam o trabalho investigativo e foram feitas a partir de um movimento de alternância entre o campo empírico e a teoria, numa estreita relação com as atividades acadêmicas dos Cursos de Licenciatura da UNEB e com a organização do trabalho pedagógico das escolas da Educação Básica. Assim, tais análises se articularam em quatro eixos: a identificação progressiva do licenciando com a profissão, docente, a co-existencia entre PIBID e Estágio: um entre-lugar da formação, ser e não ser professor: entre a discência e a docência e a iniciação (com) partilhada.
ABSTRACT This present study addresses the initiation in teaching on the process of docent apprenticeship. For this, it took the Institutional Grant Program Teaching Initiation-PIBID at the State University of Bahia-UNEB as investigation locus. Starting from the argument that the docent apprenticeship is an itinerant and nomadic process that occurs in several learning spaces (BURNHAM, 2000), it was developed a qualitative research in 04(four) different departments of UNEB with Initiation scholarship holders to the various subprojects teaching linked to the Program. The qualitative research base, phenomenological nature, was assisted by the collaboration of ten scholarship holders of the initiation in teaching PIBID State University of Bahia - BA. The analysis sources were selected based on the study's goals and considering the apprenticeship, education and licensure as structural elements for the research. As research devices were carried out a document analysis, semi-structured interviews and focus groups. The analyses set off from the propositions that base the investigative work in agreement with some principles of hermeneutics from an alternating movement between all the empirical field and theory, in a close relationship with the academic activities of the degree of UNEB lecturing courses and the organization of Basic School Pedagogical Work. Thus, such analyses are articulated around four axes: the progressive identification of the licensed under docent education, the shared initiation, the transition from student into faculty and the relationships of coexistence between PIBID and Internship.

Abstract:

This ex post facto comparison study of a postsecondary apprenticeship program at a naval ship construction company examined 8 years of academic performance and program completion data for two curricular formats: a 15-week traditional group (1,259 apprentices) and a 10-week accelerated group (736 apprentices). The two groups were investigated to determine if there were significant differences in retention, course grades, and overall GPA between the two curriculum lengths. A chi-square test for association between groups and retention found a statistically significant relationship between retention and curriculum length, χ2 (1, N = 1,995) = 65.84, p < .001, with retention greater for the 10-week curriculum. Six of 12 accelerated courses had higher grades (descriptively) than the corresponding traditional 15-week courses, and 4 of 12 accelerated 10-week courses had significantly higher grades (statistically) than the corresponding traditional 15-week courses. The overall GPA for completers was significantly higher for the 10-week curriculum (n = 474, M = 3.02, SD = .79) than for the 15-week curriculum (n = 862, M= 2.83, SD = .81), t (994) = -4.16, p < .001, d = - 0.26. This study has added to the limited body of literature on apprenticeship studies and workforce development by exploring how apprenticeship programs can be accelerated to transform inexperienced skilled labor into a high-performance workforce with a general increase in academic performance.

Abstract:

In 2012, National Research Council published a new science education framework that explains the science practices and its importance in understanding the process of knowledge development. The students were expected to engage in all the practices by grade 12. All science teachers need some kind of support to improve their understandings of these science practices (NRC, 2012). An important key component of engaging teachers in scientific investigations is to have the teacher participate in a research laboratory experience (NRC, 1996). Research Experiences for Teachers programs (RET) serve as a promising form of professional development to achieve this goal. These programs allow teachers to experience scientific inquiry. The context of the study was a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) program supported by National Science Foundation It was located in an United States university Environmental Engineering program. There were five preservice and ten inservice teachers in this research. In addition, there were six professors and eight graduate students who served as mentors. Each teacher worked with a specific professor and graduate student mentor in their research projects that are related to the management of the nitrogen cycle, provision of clean water, or urban infrastructure improvement. Also, four professors from engineering and science programs were interviewed to find out what each science practice means to them. The research design of this study was mixed methods that combined quantitative and qualitative research approaches into a single study. In this study, two teachers were selected for the case study based on their experiences and improvements. The study utilized different data sources such as surveys, interviews, observations, and documents. Each research question was addressed based on the results of overall analysis of all the teachers, as well as the results of each case. To find out whether there was a statistically significant difference between the pre-, mid-, and post teacher surveys, repeated measures ANOVA was used for each item. In addition, for the items that showed a statistical difference a Tukey test was conducted to find -which surveys -were significantly different from each other. Also, partial eta squared effect size was calculated for each item. Professor and graduate students' surveys were analyzed by a repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey tests. All interviews were transcribed by the researcher. The data from the interviews were coded and analyzed using a qualitative analysis software. In order to analyze the data in the observations, coding of the qualitative data procedure was employed. The teachers' poster presentations were evaluated by using the researcher-created rubric that has the criteria for each expected part of the poster presentation. The findings of this research suggest that teachers have naive understandings of science practices before they participate in an RET program because they do not have opportunities to learn what those practices mean. The findings also suggest that the teachers still have naive understandings after they participate in an RET program. This is a very important contribution to the literature, in that it is difficult for the teachers to teach those practices in their classrooms if they do not have complete and appropriate understandings of what those practices actually mean. The findings also indicated that teachers' participation in the RET program helped them to improve their abilities to engage in science practices but they need more experience, knowledge, and abilities to engage in the specific practices where they had least improvements. The analysis also indicated that the teachers who actively engaged in the science practices, had productive discussions with the graduate student mentors and participated the quick lessons they gave, read the literature for their research, used new techniques and methods, and participated in the research group meetings improved more on the abilities of engaging in science practices compared to the teachers who did not have the opportunity to participate in the practices because of the structure of their projects, had low interest, and received most of the information directly from the graduate students.

Abstract:

Le cas des post apprentis inscrits dans un dispositif de mobilité Erasmus +.Dans les discours et les actions des instances européenne et nationale, la mobilité des apprentis est promue comme un enjeu économique et politique majeur. Elle favoriserait le développement de compétences interculturelles et professionnelles dans une perspective de formation tout au long de la vie et d’insertion sur le marché du travail européen. Elle est aussi très fortement reliée aux configurations d’emploi des toutes prochaines années, avec l’agilité et la plasticité comme compétences clés. Celui qui est mobile et conscient des enjeux de sa mobilité serait capable, plus qu’un autre, de développer une forme d’entrepreneuriat de soi dans un contexte mouvant et incertain et former par la mobilité correspondrait aux attentes d’une économie mondialisée. Pour autant, cette équation ne va pas de soi. Le vécu de la mobilité des apprentis et les apprentissages qu’ils en ont retirés demeurent mal connus. Cette thèse analyse la mobilité comme un espace de transition biographique et de reconfiguration identitaire. Elle considère que la mobilité est un double mouvement, dans le temps et l’espace. Elle s’inscrit dans le courant des histoires de vie dans une perspective interactionniste. Elle fait appel, sur le plan théorique, à la notion de modernité, à la socialisation et à l’expérience comme cadres de mise à l’épreuve, aux constructions identitaires et au concept de transition. Pour saisir cette expérience inédite du point de vue de ceux qui la vivent, la recherche mobilise un dispositif qualitatif, constitué d’entretiens auprès de post–apprentis ayant effectué une mobilité de six mois et de dessins des lieux investis durant le stage en mobilité. Différents profils apparaissent en fonction des mouvements de continuités-ruptures qui s’opèrent, avec le métier, la mobilité ou la formation. Pour tous cependant, la mobilité est une période de formation à part entière. Des apprentissages professionnels ont été certes réalisés, mais les sujets mobiles ont surtout revisité leur projet existentiel. Avant d’être un espace de formation professionnelle, la mobilité est un espace d’apprentissage de soi et de reconfiguration. Les lieux choisis ont participé à cette prise de conscience, ils correspondent au projet de soi construit durant l’expérience. Cette mise en évidence de la reconfiguration d’un nouveau rapport au monde et au-delà, d’un nouveau rapport à soi, au travers du retravail et de la représentation du lieu, offre également de nouvelles perspectives pour penser l’accompagnement des dispositifs de mobilité
Erasmus post-apprentices studyIn speeches and actions of the European and French authorities, mobility of apprentices is promoted as a major economic and political issue. It would promote (it would develop) the development of intercultural and professional skills with a view to longlife training and integration into the European labor market. It’s strongly linked to the employment patterns of the next few years with “agility” and “plasticity” as key skills. If he is mobile and aware of the issues of his mobility, he would be able to develop a form of “self-entepreneurship” in a changing and uncertain world. Trained by mobility, he would fit to the expectations of a globalized economy. However, this equation is not evident. The experience of the apprentices’ mobility and the apprenticeships they have learned remain poorly known. This thesis analyzes the mobility of apprentices as a space of biographical transition and identity reconfiguration. It considers that mobility is a double movement: in time and space. It fits into life stories in interactionist perspective. It is theoretically appealing to the notion of modernity, to socialization and experiences a frame of proof, to constructions of identity and to the concept of transition. In order to grasp this new experience from the point of view of those who live it, research mobilizes a qualitative survey (etude au lieu de dispositive) based on interviews and drawings. The sample survey is composed of “post apprentices” that have lived a six-months-mobility. The drawings represented the places they lived in during their mobility. Different profiles appear according to the continuity-rupture movements which are exploited with the trade, the mobility or the formation. For all, however, mobility is a training period. Mobility is a space for self-learning and reconfiguration. This highlighting of the world’s report reconfiguration, and also of a new self-report, offers new perspectives for thinking about the accompaniment of mobility devices

Abstract:

Magister Educationis - Med
The purpose of this study was to investigate the implementation of a Literacy Intervention Programme with Grade One isiXhosa speaking learners in one primary school in the Western Cape. The study was motivated by the persisting low literacy levels in the Foundation Phase which have been reported in the Annual National Assessment (ANA) reports since 2011. The Department of Basic Education (DBE) and the Provincial Departments of Education have designed many intervention programmes to assist teachers in teaching literacy to young learners. These programmes include teacher development workshops and the supply of literacy materials in schools. Schools also have their own intervention programmes to support learners who struggle with reading and writing. Despite these efforts, there is no significant improvement in learners' literacy levels. Therefore, this study investigated how the literacy intervention programme for Grade one was implemented in one township school in Cape Town.

The teaching democraticalization by Federal Constitution of 1988 and the National Education Basis and Guidelined Law 9394/96, provided opportunity of teaching for all and intensified the need of educational system changes for better theaching quality. Aiming to reduce the school failure, the public politics for education have been prodigal in the variety of alfabetization, assessment, recovering of the not-understood contents end even school physical space use programs. The teacher s capacitation became a Education s Ministry preocupation, so was stablished in 2001 the PROFA Programa de Formação de Professores Alfabetizadores (Program of Formation Alphabet Teachers) with assistence of the municipal teaching system. Bringing a course of didactics contents and procedures improvement with a theoric base settled in a vast bibliography with psychologist and socialist character, this program had as the initial purpose to guide the teachers and to contribute for the development of their abilities in the alphabet process. However, would the PROFA s purposes change the teacher s practice, and improved the children apprenticeship? The answer for this was seeked by developing a case study with a qualitative investigation aiming to know entirely the PROFA, to mark each proposal stage, to follow the application of activities in fundamental school classrooms as well the children development and aprenticeship. Associating a bibliography study, a documental analysis, interviews and participant comment, was following during the year of 2002 the classroom s activities of teachers from first stage of Coronel Tobias Fundamental Education Municipal School in Descalvado SP. The methodological directions application of the PROFA provided a children progress on reading, hand-writing and oral interpretation, and text production, but not enaigh for all of them take the same profit during the year. Also the subsidies given by the PROFA were accepted and applied by the teachers at the daily activities school. Was concluded that it is important the need of the evaluation of paradigms of Formation that provides the preparation of teachers more reflexive and committed with education to incorporate effectiveness the contents didactic-methodologicals given by the Program like this in the daily pratice professional of the educators. As well efficient public politics, the pedagogic promises of all professional in this area is very important to get education improvement, including the commitment between teachers, co-ordenators, supervisors and director of the school. Is not possible to change it if the educators save efforts to get it done, they must play their role in this process.
A democratização do ensino, favorecida pela Constituição Federal de 1988 e pela Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional nº 9.394/96, abriu oportunidades de educação para todos e intensificou a necessidade de mudanças no sistema educacional para melhorar a qualidade de ensino. Em busca da redução do fracasso escolar, as políticas públicas para educação têm sido pródigas na multiplicidade de programas de alfabetização, avaliação, recuperação de conteúdos não aprendidos e até mesmo de utilização dos espaços físicos escolares. A capacitação de professores também passou a ser preocupação do Ministério da Educação e, em meio aos programas educacionais em andamento, é instituído, em 2001, com a colaboração dos sistemas municipais de ensino, o Programa de Formação de Professores Alfabetizadores (PROFA). Trazendo um curso de aprofundamento de conteúdos e procedimentos didáticos com fundamentação teórica assentada em uma vasta bibliografia de caráter psicológico e sociológico, este Programa tinha como proposta inicial orientar os professores e propiciar o desenvolvimento de suas competências na alfabetização. Mas, até que ponto as atividades propostas pelo PROFA transformariam a prática educativa dos professores e promoveriam melhoria real na aprendizagem das crianças? Buscou-se resposta a esta questão desenvolvendo-se este estudo de caso por meio de investigação qualitativa, tendo-se como objetivos conhecer integralmente o PROFA, assinalar cada passo da proposta, verificar se as atividades sugeridas estavam sendo aplicadas nas salas de aula do ensino fundamental e averiguar o desenvolvimento e aprendizagem das crianças. Associando estudo bibliográfico, análise documental, entrevistas e observação participante, foi acompanhado durante o ano letivo de 2002, o trabalho em sala de aula das professoras de primeiros anos da Escola Municipal de Educação Fundamental Coronel Tobias , no município de Descalvado (SP). Constatou-se que a aplicação das orientações metodológicas do PROFA propiciou o progresso das crianças em relação à leitura, interpretação oral e escrita e produção textual, porém foi insuficiente para conseguir que todas as crianças tivessem o mesmo aproveitamento durante o ano letivo. Constatou-se também, pela adesão das professoras às propostas apresentadas, que os subsídios oferecidos pelo PROFA estavam sendo aceitos e aplicados no cotidiano escolar. Concluiu-se que se faz relevante a necessidade de valorização de paradigmas de Formação que promovam a preparação de professores mais reflexivos e comprometidos com a educação a fim de que conteúdos didático-metodológicos oferecidos em Programas dessa natureza sejam incorporados efetivamente na prática profissional diária dos educadores. Tanto quanto políticas públicas eficientes, o engajamento pedagógico de todos os profissionais da área é igualmente importante para se obter melhorias na educação, incluindo o comprometimento entre professores, coordenadores, supervisores e diretores de escola. Não há possibilidade de se concretizar mudanças sem que também os educadores envidem esforços para alcançá-las, empenhando-se em cumprirem a sua parte no processo.

O presente estudo busca explorar os cárias de Salvador, durante o processo de inserção no programa de aprendizagem e, apercursos juvenis no processo de formação e sua relação com os programas de aprendizagem no setor bancário de Salvador. Através de uma análise interdisciplinar das práticas laborais e de perspectivas futuras dos jovens, diante de um cenário social e econômico em profundas transformações, o estudo pôde verificar a aplicação na prática da lei pelas instituições bannalisar a relação entre o esperado-explicitado no Programa e com o acordo pela instituição formadora – e a prática vivenciada pelos jovens aprendizes durante a execução de suas atividades, e investiga em que medida a vivencia laboral dos jovens aprendizes inseridos no setor bancário, contribui para a sua formação cidadã. A trajetória dos jovens é avaliada mediante análise do Programa Nacional de Aprendizagem por meio da Lei 10.097/00 como Política Pública de inserção dos jovens no mercado de trabalho. A pesquisa base da dissertação tem caráter qualitativo, exploratório e compreensivo. O campo empírico é composto por cinco jovens ingressos no programa de aprendizagem, tendo-se como critério de participação na amostra, seis meses ou mais de contrato de trabalho com bancos da rede pública e privada, de modo a permitir visões distintas entre expectativas e o nível de realização durante a imersão no programa de aprendizagem. Sendo usados instrumentos de coleta de dados como entrevistas semiestruturadas aplicadas por meio da técnica de “Bola de Neve”, ou “cadeia de informantes”, focalizando construção de identidades com o mundo do trabalho e os desafios contemporâneos na formação profissional e transição para a vida adulta.
This study aims to explore the youth courses in the qualification process and its connection with the learning programs of the banking sector in Salvador. Via interdisciplinary analysis of the labor practices and of the future perspectives of the young, facing a social and economic scenery of deep transformations, the study could verify the practical law enforcement by the banking institutions of Salvador, during the insertion process in the qualification program, and analyze the relationship between the expected-explicit in the Program and the accord by the teaching institution – and the practices experienced by the young apprentices during the execution of their activities. It also investigates to what point the labor experience of the young apprentices in the banking sector contributes to their citizen qualification. The trajectory of the young people is evaluated through analysis of the National Learning Program, according to the Law 10.097/00 as a public policy to introduce the young into the labor market. The research, which serves as a basis to the dissertation, has a qualitative, exploratory and comprehensive nature. The empirical field is composed by five young people inside the learning program, having at least six months of work contract in banks of the public or private area as the criteria for participation in the sample. In this sense, distinct views came forward among the expectations and the level of satisfaction during the immersion in the learning program. The instruments to collect data were semi-structured interviews, applied with the “Snowball” technique, or “chain of informants”, focusing on the construction of identities with the labor world and the contemporary challenges in the professional qualification and transition to adult life.

This research tries to understand the contributions of an online continuous formation Program, aiming at the professional development of formers working with basic education, supported by the theoretic-methodological reference of professional practice epistemology and distance education. Thematics such as teachers formation and distance education were examined, more specifically the online education , for considering the distance education strategy, linked to information and communication technologies (ICT), a way to conceive new opportunities for the professional development, viewing school as the formation process center references were form Shulman, 1986, 1987; Pérez Gómez, 1989; Zeichner, 1993, 2008; Knowles and Cole, 1995; Tardif, 2000, 2002; Prado and Valente, 2002; Almeida, 2003, 2005; Mizukami et al, 2003; Moran, 2003; Vaillant, 2003; Schlemmer, 2005; Vaillant and Marcelo, 2006; Hunt, 2008. The methodology used was based on the constructive collaborative pattern of research-intervention, [Cole and Knowles, 1993; Mizukami et al, 2003] linked to qualitative research theoretical matrix [Bogdan and Bicklen, 1994; Lüdke and André, 1986]. The intervention research was characterized by an online professional development Program, in the digital learning environment of the UFSCar Teachers Portal, with the participation of sixteen formers working with basic education and two researches acting as the Program mediators. The analyses were draw out from the formers reports in varied activities, such as debates occurred throughout the formative processes, private messages (mail) and testimonies that produced the formers reflexive memorial at the end of the Program. The results try to clear up aspects related to the work configuration during time spent in the learning digital situation, indicating different moments by which formers passed by in this professional development process and through the building-up of confidence relation ships, when doubts, anguishes, fears, certitudes and convictions that orientate their practices start to be explicit collectively, offering the opportunity of thinking in and about the practice from a sharing glance, allowing then the no-knowing explicit and the possibility of negotiating and explicit senses to become a former in basic education. Such dynamics happened because of the researchers continuous presence, which helped to approximate formers and to create affective bonds, which assume in the digital context a more complex dimension, related to subjective questions, due to thought expression and communication based on writing. Besides, results showed traces of how the formers knowledge changed during the process, from the concepts they have about their profession and the meaning of being a former, and relationships set up with the school partners, the theoretical discussions about how to teach teachers to teach, the possibilities of keeping on learning despite the adversities of their profession and the function/charge they occupy. Therein, it is possible to understand this researchintervention as an investigation that passes through the formation universe of online education and professional practice, that bring together results that amplify the debate about how elaborate continued formation processes in apprenticeship digital contexts, having the school as its center. In placing the basic education formers as the focus of the study, this research also came across results that enlarge the rare existing reflections about teachers formers, mainly because are being focused the basic education professionals, which also offer outpoints for debates and new researches interested in increasing knowledge in this promising investigative front.
Esta pesquisa procura compreender as contribuições de um programa de formação continuada online para o desenvolvimento profissional de formadores em exercício na educação básica, sustentada pelo referencial teórico-metodológico da epistemologia da prática profissional e da educação a distância. Articularam-se as temáticas formação de professores e educação a distância , mais especificamente, educação online , considerando que a modalidade a distância, vinculada às tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC), torna-se um caminho para a concepção de novas oportunidades de desenvolvimento profissional considerando a escola como centro dos processos formativos. Foram tomados como referência Shulman, 1986 e 1987; Pérez Gómez, 1989; Zeichner, 1993 e 2008; Knowles e Cole, 1995; Tardif, 2000 e 2002; Prado e Valente, 2002; Almeida, 2003 e 2005; Mizukami et al, 2003, Moran, 2003; Vaillant, 2003; Schlemmer, 2005; Vaillant e Marcelo, 2006; Hunt, 2008. A metodologia adotada para o desenvolvimento desta investigação pauta-se no modelo construtivo-colaborativo de pesquisa-intervenção (Cole e Knowles, 1993; Mizukami et al, 2003), que está vinculado à matriz teórica da pesquisa qualitativa (Bogdan e Bicklen, 1994; Lüdke e André, 1986). A intervenção da pesquisa caracterizou-se pela realização de um programa de desenvolvimento profissional online, no ambiente digital de aprendizagem do Portal dos Professores da UFSCar, no qual participaram dezesseis formadores em exercício na educação básica e duas pesquisadoras como mediadoras do programa. Para as análises, partiu-se das narrativas dos formadores em atividades diversas, de fóruns de discussões desencadeados ao longo do processo de formação, mensagens particulares (correio), bem como os depoimentos que compuseram o memorial reflexivo elaborado ao término do programa pelos formadores. Os resultados procuram elucidar aspectos relacionados à configuração do trabalho ao longo do tempo no ambiente digital de aprendizagem, indicando diferentes momentos vividos pelos formadores nesse processo de desenvolvimento profissional e pela construção de relações de confiança no qual as dúvidas, angústias, medos, certezas e convicções que orientam suas práticas são explicitados no coletivo, oferecendo a oportunidade de reflexão na e sobre a prática a partir de um olhar compartilhado, permitindo assim a explicitação do não-saber e a possibilidade de negociar e construir sentidos acerca de como tornar-se formador na educação básica. Tal dinâmica se deu devido à presença contínua das pesquisadoras, que permitiu aproximar os formadores e criar vínculos afetivos, o que no contexto digital assume uma dimensão ainda mais complexa, em relação às questões subjetivas, devido à expressão do pensamento e à comunicação baseada na escrita. Além disso, os resultados evidenciaram indícios de como os saberes dos formadores foram se alterando ao longo do tempo, a partir dos conhecimentos que têm sobre a profissão, sobre o significado de ser formador, das relações que se estabelecem com os pares na escola, com as discussões teóricas sobre como ensinar professores a ensinar, com as possibilidades de continuar aprendendo apesar das adversidades da profissão e da função/cargo que ocupam. Neste sentido, é possível compreender esta pesquisaintervenção como uma investigação que transita no universo da formação na educação online e da prática profissional, e que congrega resultados que ampliam a discussão sobre como elaborar processos de formação continuada em ambientes digitais de aprendizagem tendo a escola como centro do processo. Ao colocar os formadores da educação básica como foco do estudo, esta pesquisa também se deparou com resultados que ampliam as escassas reflexões existentes sobre formadores de professores, principalmente por se tratar de profissionais da educação básica e oferecem indicadores para discussões e novas pesquisas interessadas em ampliar conhecimentos nessa promissora linha de investigação.

Tese de Mestrado em Administração Pública
Este trabalho conducente à obtenção do grau de mestre em Administração Pública tem como objetivo avaliar o impacto da política de estágios profissionais desenvolvida em Portugal pela administração local, no grau de empregabilidade dos jovens, matéria sobre a qual não existe qualquer estudo avaliativo. Num contexto de escassez de recursos financeiros, assume particular pertinência perceber se os gastos governamentais no âmbito desta política de emprego têm permitido atingir os objetivos definidos. Para o efeito, desenvolveu-se um estudo do tipo experimental, através do qual se procurou conhecer a situação face ao emprego dos jovens que frequentaram os estágios, um e três meses após o fim do estágio, por comparação com a situação de outros jovens que se candidataram mas não os frequentaram. Deste estudo concluiu-se que, no curto prazo, não se verifica uma relação positiva entre a frequência dos estágios e o aumento do grau de empregabilidade dos jovens, o que põe em causa a manutenção deste programa por parte do governo português. Estes resultados devem ser confirmados no médio prazo, no sentido de aferir se a taxa de empregabilidade dos jovens se mantém ao mesmo nível. Na avaliação da política de estágios na administração local pode ainda ser relevante ter em conta outros efeitos, como sejam o facto de permitir aos jovens integrarem-se, pelo menos temporariamente, no mercado de trabalho, contrariando-se a sua tendência natural para o aumento da desmotivação, deterioração das qualificações e perda da experiência de trabalho, bem como o contributo dos estágios para o reforço da coesão social, proporcionado pelo aumento da interação social.A introdução de alterações ao design da política pública dos estágios do PEPAL, proporcionando uma maior intervenção das autarquias locais na escolha dos estagiários, poderia contribuir para que esta tivesse melhores resultados em matéria do grau de empregabilidade dos estagiários.
This study, conducive to the attainment of a master’s degree in Public Administration, aims to evaluate the impact of the public policy of apprenticeships developed in Portugal by local government on young people’s employability, a matter on which there is currently no study available. In a context of constricted financial resources, it becomes especially important to understand whether government’s spending on this labor market policy has permitted to reach the goals set. With this purpose, we developed an experimental study, through which compared the employment situation of young people who attended the apprenticeship, one and three months after it ended, to the employment situation of other youngsters who applied, but did not attend them. From this study we concluded that, in the short-term, there is no positive relationship between the attendance of apprenticeships and the increase in employability, which questions the continuation of this program by the Portuguese government. These results should be confirmed in the medium-term, in order to evaluate whether the youth’s rate of employability remains the same. In evaluating the public policy on apprenticeships developed by local government, it may also be relevant to take into account other outcomes, such as the fact that it enables young people to integrate themselves, at least temporarily, in the labor market, which permits to counter their natural tendency to increase demotivation, deterioration of skills and loss of work experience, as well as the contribution of the apprenticeships to the strengthen of social cohesion provided by increased social interaction. The introduction of changes in the design of the public policy of apprenticeships developed by local government to provide greater involvement of local authorities in the selection of trainees, might contribute to higher rates of employability of the trainees.

Abstract:

The issue of this dissertation is the relationship between Vocational Education and Training (VET) in general and VET for building and construction in particular, as well as implications of the fact that Swedish VET is carried out both in school and in working life. Vocational construction education includes a three year Construction Programme at upper secondary school followed by two to three years of on-the-job training in the construction industry. In this case study of an upper secondary Construction Programme, the school based daily instruction as well as work based training, is explored and documented. These constitute a base for descriptions and analysis of education as a whole from the perspective of Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT). The aim of the analysis is to identify the main motives for vocational construction education. The case study results are further based on descriptions and CHAT-analyses of the historical development of construction work as well as of Swedish VET in general and of vocational construction area in particular. The case study illustrates that two activities form vocational construction education; the dominating activity being construction production, and school-activity. The terms of construction industry seem to greatly determine the realisation of the school based construction production activity. E.g. teamwork is emphasised in both activities. The school activity is marked by the implementation of infusion of core subjects by vocational subjects, aimed at preparing the students for continued professional development in the trade. The conclusion drawn here is that the new Swedish apprenticeship seems to contribute to a narrow professional knowledge base, whereas the use of infused core subjects seems to contribute to a broader professional knowledge base.

Abstract:

A presente tese analisa as aprendizagens profissionais desenvolvidas em período de estágio curricular, em que os alunos do curso de Licenciatura em Geografia da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa (UEPG), Paraná, acompanharam o trabalho de professores de escolas de educação básica (Ensino Fundamental II). O conceito que fundamenta nossas análises é o de profissionalidade docente, por considerarmos que nele está o centro das proposições do estágio; assim, buscamos identificar quais elementos e dimensões da profissionalidade permeiam as ações na etapa do estágio. O foco da pesquisa está em identificar as aprendizagens que os alunos da licenciatura desenvolvem durante o estágio e, com base nesses elementos, reconhecer o papel do professor de Geografia da educação básica na formação inicial desses alunos. Buscamos fundamentar a tese de que o professor da educação básica, que atua como supervisor de estágio, é um formador de professores, na medida em que transmite saberes profissionais constituídos em decorrência de experiências individuais e coletivas, em contextos sociais, institucionais e técnico-pedagógicos, consolidados no exercício profissional. Esses saberes possibilitam aos alunos-estagiários a reflexividade da ação docente e das práticas escolares, por meio do diálogo com e na realidade profissional. O parâmetro adotado para realizar esta investigação são os ensinos e as orientações dadas por esses professores no desenvolvimento profissional dos alunos. Para gerar as informações e proceder às análises, optamos pelo método qualitativo, adotando as diretrizes fornecidas pela metodologia de análise de conteúdo, de acordo com Bardin (2007) e Franco (2008), na compreensão do objeto investigado. Realizamos entrevistas com um grupo de alunos do curso de Licenciatura em Geografia e com os professores das escolas da educação básica que os supervisionaram em períodos de estágio. As informações obtidas, o delineamento e o interesse no objeto investigado suscitaram análises no âmbito dos saberes da docência e do habitus na prática docente. Esses dois elementos foram utilizados como categorias, ao reconhecermos o direcionamento das orientações realizadas pelos professores. A centralidade das ações desses professores está no desenvolvimento da competência profissional dos alunos, com ênfase nos esquemas práticos desenvolvidos por eles durante as aulas ministradas. O diálogo não foi um elemento constante e primordial para o desenvolvimento das aprendizagens, as quais resultaram, em grande parte, de observações individuais dos estagiários sobre a prática didática dos professores da escola básica. Além de saberes, esses professores se preocuparam com a formação do habitus docente, orientando os alunos em relação a posturas, técnicas, demonstrando senso prático. Dentre o corpus de saberes reconhecidos para a docência, os professores atribuem maior importância àqueles construídos na prática profissional, com exceção dos saberes do conteúdo, os quais, segundo eles, devem ser consolidados no curso de graduação. Esses professores compreendem o estágio como espaço de trocas de experiências e, nesse processo, consideram-se orientadores de alunos-estagiários. Porém, apontam a falta de integração com os professores supervisores de estágio da universidade como um dos obstáculos ao bom desempenho dessa tarefa.
This thesis examines the professional abilities developed during the mandatory Geography teaching apprenticeship program, in which students of the Geography Teaching Licensure Course of the State University of Ponta Grossa (UEPG), Paraná, followed the work of teachers in intermediate schools (6th to 9th grade). The basic concept that underlies our analysis is that of professionality teaching, because we believe it is the center of the propositions of the apprenticeship program; thus, we sought to identify which elements and dimensions of professional teacher activity permeate actions within the apprenticeship program. The focus of the research is to identify the abilities that licensure students develop during the apprenticeship program, and with base on these elements, recognize the role of Geography teachers of intermediate schools in the basic background education of these students. We sought to provide support to the thesis that intermediate school teachers, who act as apprenticeship supervisors, are teacher coaches, as they convey professional knowledge that is built as a result of individual and collective experiences in social, institutional, technical and pedagogical contexts which are consolidated through professional activity. This knowledge enables apprentice-students to experiment the reflective-thought action of teaching activities and school practices, through dialogue with, and within, professional reality. The parameters adopted in this research are the teachings and guidance given by those teachers in the professional development of the apprentice-students. To organize information and carry out the analysis, we chose the qualitative method, adopting the guidelines provided by the Content Analysis Methodology according to Bardin (2007) and Franco (2008) to understand the object under study. We interviewed a group of students from the Geography Teaching Licensure Course and the elementary school teachers who supervised their apprenticeship programs. The information obtained, the description and interest in the object studied raised analyses in the fields of teaching knowledges and in the habitus of teaching practice. These two elements were used as categories, to recognize the direction of the advice given by teachers. The central point of the prescriptive actions of these teachers is the development of professional competence of students, with emphasis on practical schemes developed by them during classes. The dialogue was not a constant and essential element for the development of these abilities, which resulted largely from individual observations of the apprentices on the teaching practice of these elementary school teachers. In addition to knowledges, these teachers were concerned with building a teaching habitus, counseling students with regard to attitude, techniques, demonstrating a practical sense. Within the recognized body of knowledge for teaching, teachers give more importance to those built during professional practice, except for the knowledge of content, which they say should be consolidated during the undergraduate course. These teachers understand the apprenticeship program as a space for exchanging experiences and, within the process, they consider themselves orientators of the student-apprentices. However, they point the lack of integration with the apprenticeship program supervising professors of the university as one of the obstacles to performing this task well.

Abstract:

The aim of this dissertation is to describe and critically discuss the literacies apprentice-students in the Health and Social Care Programme in the upper secondary school in Sweden are given access to during the workplace-based learning part of the education. The study draws on sociocultural understandings of learning and knowing, and on perspectives developed in the field of new literacy studies of literacies as situated social practices. Ethnographically inspired methods consisting of participant observation, interviews and study of textual artefacts in both the work and school domain are used to generate data. Literacy events and literacy practices students are given the opportunity to participate in are explored as a part of tasks in the work or school domain. Additionally, the literacies students do not gain access in these workplaces but are crucial in health care and social work are explored. The results indicate that literacies in the work domain are to a large degree embedded in other work tasks. This contributes to making a large part of the reading and writing invisible for the students and their supervisors. Access to literacies at the workplace is not discussed between teachers and supervisors. A major finding is that students’ access to digital literacies in the work domain depends on the local culture of each workplace and on individual supervisor’s decisions, bringing questions of equality in the apprentice-education to the forefront. The digital literacies support central activities in the workplaces; not getting access to these practices raises questions about what kind of working life the apprentice-students are being prepared for. Thus the meaning given to the term employability, which is central in policy-documents for the apprentice education, seems to be enacted as preparing the students for a job in one position, rather than offering broad competences for advancement or changes in working life. School tasks can function in a compensatory way by introducing central texts in Health and Social care work for students, but writing these kinds of texts in the school domain are part of different literacy practices than when writing them in the work domain. Furthermore the schools have no possibilities to offer students access to the kinds of digital systems that are used in the work domain.

Abstract:

L’Histoire des écoles d’horlogerie de Besançon est inhérente à la naissance et à la continuité d’une industrie spécifique très localisée sur un territoire. Avec elles nous partons de l’ère « proto-industrielle » qui plonge ses racines dans les idéaux révolutionnaires de 1793 pour aboutir aux bouleversements technologiques de l’électronique et du « quartz » des années 1970… S’inscrivant sur la longue durée, trois « écoles » vont se succéder. Pour répondre aux attentes d’une industrie horlogère qui doit constamment faire face aux évolutions techniques, chacune à sa manière, va innover pour constituer un « corpus » original de formation qui n’est pas sans bousculer les rites et usages du temps. Si les deux premières « écoles » eurent une durée de vie limitée, la dernière entité, née en 1861 de la volonté municipale, va pendant plus d’un siècle, accompagner toute une ville (et sa région) dans sa réussite industrielle. Dès sa création, et au fur et à mesure des adaptations qu’elle a su mettre en place, par la qualité et la spécificité des formations dispensées, elle va irriguer de ses élèves toute une industrie toujours à l’affût de personnels qualifiés. Au plan national elle va diffuser le nom de Besançon comme « capitale française de l’horlogerie » en formant nombre d’horlogers-rhabilleurs tenant boutiques et autres ateliers de réparation par tout le territoire… Elle va servir de référence pour implanter dans la Cité des laboratoires de recherche et d’enseignement supérieur : un Observatoire chronométrique, une École d’ingénieurs, un Centre d’études horlogères et de développement industriel (Cétéhor)… Elle va contribuer à la diversification industrielle de la ville dans des domaines connexes à l’horlogerie, notamment dans le découpage, la micromécanique, l’appareillage et les microtechniques… Nationalisée en 1891, elle fait dès lors partie de la petite élite des Écoles Nationales Professionnelles (par assimilation), qui vont marquer le développement industriel du Pays. En 1933, quand elle intègre ses nouveaux locaux, par le nombre et l’originalité de ses filières (de l’ouvrier qualifié à l’ingénieur), par sa dotation en matériels modernes, elle est signalée comme étant le « premier établissement de l’enseignement technique » en France. Le cheminement de cette dernière école fait aussi ressortir une histoire « humaine », « prosopographique », qui met en exergue les nombreux anciens élèves qui se sont lancés avec grande réussite dans la création d’entreprises. Restés fidèles à leur école, ils ont contribué au renom et au développement de la richesse économique de la cité et de sa région… Avec ces écoles d’horlogerie, on aborde enfin l’histoire de l’Enseignement Technique en France. Pour répondre à la demande d’une industrie horlogère en pleine croissance qui déplorait les carences de l’apprentissage en atelier, elles ont été pionnières en ouvrant la voie de « la scolarisation » de la formation professionnelle. Par leurs innovations pédagogiques, et soutenues par les Anciens Élèves, elles ont su établir un lien « École-Entreprise » des plus fructueux qui marque encore la mémoire collective des Bisontins…En 1974 elle perd toute référence à l’horlogerie pour devenir le Lycée Jules Haag. Le temps de l’histoire est désormais advenu pour tenter de comprendre ce qui a fait la force et la réussite de ces « Écoles d’horlogerie » dans leur participation active, sur la durée, à la prospérité économique et industrielle d’une ville et de sa région…
The history of the watchmaking schools in Besançon is part of the birth and continuous development of a specific industry in a very limited sector of the French territory. When studying those schools we start at the « protoindustrial » time with its roots in the revolutionary ideals of 1793 and end up with the technological upheavals of electronics and the « quartz » technology in the 1970s. Three « schools » followed one another over the long term. Each school aimed at satisfying the demands of a watchmakng industry confronted to rapidly changing technical evolutions ; so it innovated in its own way by creating an original « corpus » in the students training and most of the time upset the practices and common ideas of the time. If the first two « schools » had a limited lifespan, the last one created in 1861 by the town council itself has been supporting the industrial growth of the city and the surrounding region. Since its foundation it has stuck to the industrial reality by placing the emphasis on high standards and opening new specific branches whenever necessary, thus answering the needs of firms always looking for highly qualified staff. For a large number of French people Besançon became the « capital town of the watchmaking industry » thanks to the shops or repair workshops kept by Besançon-trained former students all over France… It served as a background to set up research and university laboratories in the city : Observatoire Chronométrique, Ecole d’Ingénieurs, Centre d’Etudes Horlogères et de Développement Industriel (Cétéhor)… It contributed to the industrial diversification of the town in fields related to watchmaking such as mechanical cutting, micromechanics, equipment and microtechniques. It was nationalized in 1891 and then belonged to the very small elite goup of the Professional National Schools that influenced the future industrial development of the country. In 1933 it moved into sparkling-new premises and was acknowledged as the flagship of technical education in France : it offered a large number of innovating courses ranging from the skilled worker to the engineer and was granted the latest equipments in every field. The path of this new school also enhanced a « humane » and « prosopographical » history ; it highlighted the part played by the numerous former students who created their own successful businesses. Being faithful to their old school they contributed to the renown and economic growth and prosperity of the city and its region… Beyond the local impact we must regard the history of the watchmaking schools as an important part of the history of Technical Education in France. To meet the needs of a soaring watchmaking industry they opened the way to the transfer of professional training from apprenticeship in workshops with its observed shortcomings to education in technical high schools. Their pedagogical innovations, the strong support of their former students created a vital school-business link that still lives on in the collective memory of the town inhabitants.In 1974 its name changed to Lycée Jules Haag thus losing any reference to watchmaking. Let us now try and understand the strong influence and success of those watchmaking schools, the active part they played in the economic industrial prosperity of a town and its surrounding region…

Abstract:

Apprenticeship is an old and venerable method of teaching skills and knowledge stretching back to antiquity. Most of the traditional aspects of this teaching and learning method, the practice of apprenticeship, takes place in the workplace where few educational researchers venture. In addition, because apprenticeship bridges issues related to education, training, labour market, social policy, and anthropology, research reports cover a broad spectrum but do not offer a synthetic view of apprenticeship. This research, focuses on a single trade, in a single company, in order to document the practice of formal apprenticeship. To set the stage, a preliminary classification of the disparate literature on apprenticeship as well as a brief history of apprenticeship in Canada and in British Columbia is offered. The registered cook apprenticeship in British Columbia studied shows that four major themes undergird the 'program': context, progression, knowledge, and vocational training. Context directly affects what can and is practiced on the job, hence affects the outcomes of the apprenticeship. In addition, it can be assumed that micro contextual differences play a role as important as macro contextual differences in apprenticeship. Progression represents the journey from neophyte to master and impacts apprenticeship as it charts one's career progression; a clear view of progression also seems to affect apprenticeship outcomes. Knowledge and vocational education seem to be linked and represent, for the apprentices and the masters, external yardsticks of achievement which are used to confirm stages of the journey. The research shows that present day apprenticeships have retained much of their rich tradition. Historical elements can be recognized in the models which summarize writings about apprenticeship presented in this paper. The models help contrast the practice with the intent of apprenticeship; and allow for the creation of a composite model which best fits fit a real-life case. Suggestions about the current practice of apprenticeship can be made from the models. But future research will have to further clarify some of the issues raised here, as well as chart a coherent course for the study of apprenticeship.

Abstract:

M.A. (Human Resource Management)
Sufficient trained labour is necessary for the economical growth and development of the country, and artisan training is therefore a national priority. The Metal Industry is the largest contributor to apprentice training in South Africa. Continual technological development places a high demand on artisans, and that in turn requires intensive training. This has led to the need for candidates with strong mental abilities and aptitudes to meet the above-mentioned requirements. The selection and classification of apprentices who will be successful in their training and work is not an easy task, since the majority of apprentices are school leavers and do not have previous work experience. It is therefore necessary to assess their trainability and work potential by means of a psychometric test battery. The purpose of this study is to determine whether apprentices can then be classified into specific trades on the basis of their psychometric test results. Should this be possible, apprentices can be placed in specific trades according to their aptitudes, abilities and interests.

Abstract:

A research report submitted to the Wits School of Education, Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education by combination of coursework and research Johannesburg, February 2018.
Worldwide, various governments have taken significant measures to promote vocational education in an attempt to position it as an equal alternative to academic education. The problem, however, is that in many countries neither young people nor their parents perceive vocational education as having the same value as academic education (Allais, Marock, & Molebatsi, 2014). This is in contrast to Continental European countries, such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland where approximately two thirds of youth completing general schooling each year select vocational education over university education. South Africa a country in which vocational education is extremely stigmatized, is reforming its apprenticeship system and has set itself a target of qualifying 24 000 new artisans by 2020 (DHET 2015). Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges are viewed as key vehicles through which large numbers of artisans can be trained. However, employers do not have trust in the quality and capacity of public TVET colleges and have taken responsibility for training artisans through their own in-house training facilities and private training providers (National Treasury n.d.). The result is that TVET colleges have been side-lined in the supply chain for artisan development. It is against this background that the South African government is piloting a dual system apprenticeship project, which aims to: a) improve the quality of artisan training at public TVET colleges; b) build employer trust in the quality of the public artisan training system; and c) position TVET education as an attractive option for young people. This research is focused on apprentices training to become electricians through a dual apprenticeship model. The dual system integrates classroom theory with on-the-job instruction thus ensuring that learning is integrated and regularly reinforced. Through semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire, this study brings the voices of 95 electrical apprentices to bear in order to develop a much deeper, richer and nuanced understanding of how apprentices experience the artisan development system. It seeks to understand what motivates young people to enrol at a TVET college, and what apprentices’ experiences, perceptions and expectations are of dual system apprenticeships. The study provides insights into the merits and challenges of dual system apprenticeships within the South African context.

The purpose of this research is to set a structure for the practical training of N-course apprentices. This research focuses on the practical training of apprentices in the telecommunications field. However it has become clear that this structure can be applied to other fields of practical training for apprentices as well. It is important for all training officials who deal with practical training in the technical field to keep pace with the latest development in competency-based training in the technological world. Modular practical training focuses on the ability of the apprentice to master specific skills as required in his field of training. The training program comprises a set of instruction modules with set objectives which can be obtained only if followed by carrying out specific actions. The important characteristic of modular training is that the apprentice is expected to master all the modules set for his particular field of occupation at his own pace according to his individual talents and abilities. The individual trainee is held responsible for succesfully mastering all practical objectives set to him. These modules are arranged progressively and progress is measured with definite performance criteria. A practical module is a complete instructional unit. It comprises aims, objectives, a pre-test, contents with resource material and a final criterium test.

This study concentrated on chronicling the events leading to the establishment of formalized apprenticeship training in South Africa in 1922 and its evolution to its present form. Particular attention was paid to the legislation, both provincial and national, that provided for the establishment of the present system. The apprenticeship system of the USA was also examined from its roots up to the present time in all its forms of technical, vocational and artisan training. Looking at the different college systems and technical training schools of the USA. Comparisons between USA and South Africa‘s apprenticeship systems was made with specific recommendations for South Africa‘s system.

Abstract:

D.Ed.
The research has been done under the leadership of the Rand Afrikaans University with the co-operation of the National Training Board. Apprentice training in South Africa developed from the traditional journeyman route to a more advanced competent modular based training system. The existing competent modular based training for apprentices consists of on the job training, institutional training, offered by an accredited training centre and theoretical training away from the work environment, offered at a Technical College. The existing apprentice training scheme is controlled by legislation (Act No 56 of 1981). The research has been undertaken to determine whether the existing apprentice training scheme complies with the developing needs of the industry and the individual learner. A literature study about the development of the apprentice training system in South Africa is compiled. The study includes an examination of vocational education and training systems of eight different countries. The literature study is compiled to create an holistic picture concerning vocational education and training, focusing on the training of apprentices. Other countries' vocational education and training models are also evaluated to see what South Africa can learn from other countries and to incorporate the transferable strengths to the alternative routes for artisan training developed by this research. With the aid of scientifically designed questionnaires and interviews, the existing apprentice training scheme is examined. The existing training scheme is evaluated against the following criteria: an integrated approach to education and training; effective human resources development according to the technological and manpower, as well as the individual needs; access to artisan training and flexibility of training scheme; recognition of prior learning; career guidance of learners; mobility between industries, employers and institutions, that the training scheme provide; The results of the questionnaires and interviews have shown that the existing apprentice training scheme is outdated and needs to adapt to comply with new challenges for developing competent tradesmen and -women in South Africa. This study addresses the problem surrounding the existing artisan training scheme by developing alternative routes for artisan training. As the results of artisan training should be outcome based. The first step of designing the alternative routes is to formulate the skills and knowledge needed to be a competent artisan. The alternative routes for artisan training is then designed to develop and enhance the skills as formulated.

Abstract:

This qualitative research investigated the implementation problems of apprenticeship training program in the Addis Ababa TVET colleges and enterprises. The research looked into the training program conducted by TVET Colleges and enterprises. Relevant literature on the nature of apprenticeship training and the factors that could affect its implementation were also reviewed. The research applied the theoretical statement of Bandura’s (1977) theory of observation /imitation/, Vygotsky’s theory of ZPD, contextual or the situated learning (Lave and Wenger, 1991), the constructivist view of learning and career theory as the main theoretical frameworks to describe the apprenticeship training process. The theories, however, do not mention the factors that can hamper the implementation of apprenticeship training in a specific social context. The theory of observation was preferred since it can describe the apprentice’s effort to master the skill of an occupation by observing the craftsman at the enterprises. The situated learning was preferred as it gives value to practice as a condition for the effectiveness of learning. Similarly, the research considered Vygotsky’s theory of the ZPD. The application of ZPD indicates the difference between what the apprentice can accomplish independently and what he/she can do with the close assistance of supervisor on a given task. Holland’s career theory (as cited in De lary, Duncan & Swarth, 2006) is also considered to describe the apprenticeship training in relation with an occupation. The current research has enabled to consider context specific conditions by focusing on the investigation of the causes of the implementation challenges of the apprenticeship training. The researcher collected data from Addis Ababa TVET Agency experts, deans of one private and another public TVET Colleges, college apprenticeship training coordinators, trainers, trainees, supervisors and enterprises by employing unstructured and structured interviews, observation and Focus Group Discussion tools. The analysis was made by making the data pass through three successive steps: data reduction, data display and interpretation, and conclusion. The findings showed that the implementation of the apprenticeship training program had challenges that could be shared among its actors; Trade Unions had no involvement in the implementation of the apprenticeship training program; the selected colleges and enterprises addressed their challenges by using limited strategies and without regular and systematic way; the presence of some less motivating factors for the participation of the apprentices in the apprenticeship training was reported; the presence of conditions that could adversely affect the apprentices’ acquisition of occupational skills was reported; the provision of apprenticeship training at the enterprises lack, either facilities or training services, in order to arrange the apprenticeship training program for TVET college trainees; and there were some indications for the presence of some weak professional qualities of supervisors that have implications for the apprentices’ training. Eventually, it was concluded that the implementation of apprenticeship training program in the Addis Ababa TVET Colleges and enterprises had challenges that require the consideration of both institutional and human conditions.
