Peera, Rishma. "Tanzanian educational policy : effects on women's participation in formal education." Thesis, McGill University, 1995. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=23349.
Full textAbstract:
Female participation in all spheres of society is crucial in the development of a nation. One way of increasing this participation is through education in the formal system because it provides more opportunities in a modernizing society. This study presents the situation of women in education in the context of Tanzania, which has developed policies geared towards equality at all levels of society. Tanzanian educational policies have attempted to equalize opportunities for everyone regardless of race, gender and social class. A few of those policies have succeeded in reducing gender imbalances without however changing attitudes towards women's potential in the development of the nation. This study attempts to demonstrate that educational policies affect female participation in a positive manner but essentially in quantity. In the context of Tanzania, quality in education had not been a priority as much as the commitment to mass education. Therefore, female education has evolved at a lower quality than male education, thus affecting outcome in terms of opportunity. Quality education and opportunity for women will only be possible if the school, family, community and all societal institutions join in a comprehensive effort to break barriers which now prevent their full participation.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation provides a history of Mexicana/os' participation in three modes of education: formal, non-formal, and informal, in the midwestern states of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, and Missouri, from 1910 to 1955. Informed by Critical Race Theory and LatCrit Theory, the study addresses the social constructions of race, gender, and class as it analyzes how these ongoing and complex constructions influenced not only how dominant society structured and practiced education offered to Mexicana/os but also how Mexicana/os participated in education and made education work for them in parochial and public schools, in settlement houses, in churches and missions, and in familial and community settings.

Williams, Veronica A. "Karen–Burmese Refugees’ Cultural Perception of Formal Education." Thesis, NSUWorks, 2017. https://nsuworks.nova.edu/fse_etd/118.
Full textAbstract:
In the U.S. the population continues to diversify as refugees find residence within its borders. According to the U.S. Department of Education’s Refugee Resettlement Statistics (2012) of those refugees fourteen thousand and twenty identified themselves as Karen refugees from Burma. In the context of education, teachers are confronted with the language development of English Language Learners (ELLs). At the researchers school site the ELLs population include; immigrants, refugees, and Students with Interrupted Formal Education (SIFE). Although it is known that refugee students have limited formal education, which creates difficulty for them to access content and develop their English language proficiency (Decapua, Smathers, & Tang, 2009), there was a paucity of data of the cultural differences of Karen refugees’ parents experiences with formal education systems compared to those of other refugees. The researcher conducted an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) case study grounded in sociocultural theory (Vygotsky, 1978) with the aim to analyze the personal experience of Karen refugee women who relocated to an urban city located in the northeastern United States as parents of students in the U.S. public school system. After the conclusion of the study following dominant themes arose: family, limited formal education, communication and cultural representation. One major implication constituted the need for inclusion of families’ and students’ cultural knowledge into school systems and curriculum. Considering the cultural gap, it is important that teacher training programs and administrators prepare teachers with strategies for incorporating culturally responsive teaching practices into their pedagogy. Another implication of the study was communication between multilingual refugee families and American schools. Institutions working with refugee communities should prioritize interpreting and translation.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examined the educational outcomes of high school English learner (EL) students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE) to evaluate theories that explain their educational resilience. School system data and survey results from 165 high school ELs were analyzed to determine the degree to which ELs' homeland schooling had influenced their academic outcomes in the U.S. Educational outcomes included English proficiency attainment and gains as well as scores on standardized tests of algebra, biology, and English language arts. Limited formal schooling (LFS) was operationalized with three indicators for students on arrival in the U.S.: (1) gaps in years of schooling relative to grade, (2) low self-reported first language schooling, and (3) beginner-level English proficiency. Bivariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to estimate the relationships between the LFS indicators and the educational outcomes as well as the degree to which school-based protective factors and personal risk factors had influenced the relationships. Protective factors included perceived pedagogical caring, social integration with non-immigrant peers, ESOL classes, out-of-school help, and extra-curricular activities. Risk factors included high social distance, past traumatic experiences, a lack of authoritative parental support, separations from loved ones, and hours spent working in employment. This study also examined the role students' academic self-concept played in mediating and moderating the influence of protective and risk factors in the resiliency process. The findings showed that SLIFE had lower achievement on the standardized tests, but that it was largely due to having lower English proficiency at the time of the test. Lower English proficiency at the time of the test was mainly attributed to arriving with lower English proficiency and lower first language literacy. ESOL classes appeared to help students acquire English faster. After controlling for differences in English proficiency, students' perceptions of social distance appeared to predict their academic achievement on standardized tests better than their academic self-concept and the other protective or risk factors. This study contributes to our understanding of risk and resilience among SLIFE and may help inform interventions to support them better.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa se propõe a analisar a criação do conceito de educação nãoformal partindo da filosofia deleuziana, que compreende a criação de um conceito com seus movimentos e suas recriações. Nessa perspectiva, defendemos a educação não-formal como um conceito autônomo, com fazeres particulares e um campo próprio, a partir de uma lógica específica de funcionamento. Através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, considerando autores internacionais, especialmente espanhóis, norteamericanos e autores brasileiros, a trajetória histórica do conceito de educação não-formal é apresentada, tanto internacionalmente, quanto nacionalmente. A educação não-formal é analisada a partir das políticas públicas para crianças, adolescentes e jovens, e nesse contexto é considerada sua relação com a educação social, assim como uma pequena apresentação e discussão da trajetória da educação social no Brasil. Foram pesquisadas três instituições de caráter não-formal em Campinas (SP) e região, sendo uma de origem religiosa, uma vinculada ao poder público e uma de caráter comunitário. A partir da pesquisa de campo, as concepções dos educadores dessas instituições foram consideradas como constituintes da criação de nuances do conceito de educação não-formal. Consideramos ainda as idéias divulgadas pela grande imprensa sobre os fazeres da educação não-formal e como os meios de comunicação vêm divulgando esse campo. Dessa maneira, a presente pesquisa se preocupou em cartografar a educação não-formal, não como um campo descoberto, ou como um conceito estático, mas como um conceito em movimento, que vem sendo criado e recriado em diferentes momentos e locais. Percebe-se, dessa forma, que o conceito de educação não-formal assume diferentes nuances, em função de que país e de que época histórica abordamos.
Abstract: This doctoral thesis intends to analyze the creation of the concept of non formal education, starting from the deleuzian philosophy, which encompasses the creation of a concept together with its movements and its re-creations. Under this perspective, we defend the idea of nonformal education as na autonomous concept, with its particular makings and a proper field, and a specific logic of functioning. Through the supporting bibliography, which considered foreigners authors, and specially Spanish, North American and Brazilian authors, the historic trajectory of the concept of nonformal education is presented, both in international contexts as in the Brazilian context. The nonformal education is analyzed from the point of view of the public policies targeting children, adolescents, and young adult students, and under such context, we consider its relationship with the social education. We also do a short presentation and discussion on the trajectory of the social education in Brazil. We analyzed three educational institutions of nonformal character in the region of the city of Campinas (State of São Paulo), one of them having a religious origin, another related to the public administration, and the third one having a community character. From the field research, the conceptions of the educators from these institutions were considered as the elements for the creation of concept of nonformal education. We also considered the ideas publicized through the mass media respect to the makings - activities related to nonformal education, as well as the way the communication channels talk about this field. In this way, the present research was concerned in picturing and understanding the nonformal education not as a discovered field, not as a static concept, but instead, as a concept in movement, which is being created and re-created in different moments and different places. With that in mind, we realize that the concept of non-formal education assumes different forms, depending on the country and depending on the period we are focusing.

We started with a survey of the main elements which characterized the historical, social and cultural context of Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries, which made the Boy-scout Movement to appear and shaded some of its representative elements. Later we analysed the most important steps of the life of the Founder Robert Baden-Powell, its correlation with the main components of the Scouts Method. We elaborated the historical description of the formulation process and development of the Movement from the administrative, pedagogical and geographical organization point of view. We approached the complexity of the concept of Education and the outlines of the discussions around formal education and non-scholarly education. At last, we characterized the present moment and the challenges that are suggested in the dawn of the 21st century. We call the attention for the strong pedagogical identity of the Movement and its importance in the map of association Movements.

Full textAbstract:
Institutions of formal education have a survival interest in the question of why most adults do not participate in more formal adult education. This study, using a descriptive approach, gathered evidence from 16 adults (8 males and 8 females) who had not participated in formal education in the past 10 years. The evidence gathered was used to answer the question, How do adults, who have not participated in formal education as adults, describe their reasons for not participating? The evidence was gathered from multiple individual interviews and two focus groups.Much of the previous research in discovering why adults did not participate in formal education has been done from the perspective of the participating adult. An examination of this previous research identified job related reasons as the prominent reasons adults gave for participation in formal education. Barriers/deterrents to participation were most often identified as lack of time and money; however, the study presented here found neither money nor time reported as important reasons for nonparticipation in formal education for adults.The informants in this study answered the question clearly. They did not participate in formal education for adults because they found no need for, or value in, additional formal education. Furthermore, they had no interest in exploring potential benefits.Some research on participation in formal adult education shows some adults who participated, did so for social reasons. The informants in the study presented here may have avoided formal education for social reasons, that is, a fear of failure in that context. All informants were satisfied with the way they learned needed skills and/or knowledge. Previous formal education, schooling, was not recognized as an important contributor to the informants' current or future adult lifestyles. Schooling, as described by the informants, was not credited with providing them with understanding, knowledge, and/or skills required to find employment or to support or enhance their adult lifestyles.Hands-on, and less often reading, were the methods employed by the informants and their peers. There seemed to be a threat to their self esteem if they were involved in formal adult education to gain skill and/or knowledge.Department of Educational Leadership

Full textAbstract:
An inquiry into why potential adult learners, employed full time and eligible for substantial tuition assistance dollars, do not participate in formal education may be of interest to administrators within higher education, labor union leadership, and adult educators. Using a descriptive approach, this study gathered evidence from 10 adults who had not participated in formal education in at least the past 10 years. The evidence collected was used to answer the question, Why do UA W-GM active union members, contractually eligible for tuition assistance funds, not participate informal education? Evidence was compiled from two one and one-half hour interviews and from a number of telephone conversations. Much of the previous research on non participation describes barriers and constraints to participation. The informants in this study spent little time discussing why they had not participated. Their discussions instead focused on how and why they had successfully engaged in many informal learning experiences.The research method used in this study is suited to provide details that indirectly provide a basis for analysis into non-participation in formal education for the selected group of informants. Analysis is provided in Chapter V. However, Chapter IV is presented in such a way as to invite readers to develop their own insights based on this sample of unique and varied experiences.Department of Educational Studies

This study analyzes the concept of nonformal education and provides a framework for analyzing nonformal education systems. Nonformal education is seen by policy makers and funding agencies as one of the alternatives to formal schooling that may assist developing countries in the modernization process. Nonformal education is defined as any systematic learning that is provided outside the formal system to meet the learning needs of adults as well as children.
In order to achieve the objectives of the study, two separate literature reviews are provided. Firstly, a review of the literature on the concept of nonformal education is provided. The review analyzes how the concept of nonformal education has developed. It discusses some issues regarding definitional problems; major
characteristics of nonformal education and the major differences between nonformal education and formal education. Various theories that relate to nonformal education and development are discussed.
Following the conceptual analysis, a review of selected research that has been conducted on nonformal education in the last twelve years is provided. Only major cross-cultural studies are reviewed as they provide a basis for comparison. Conclusions of the studies are discussed. A framework is provided for analyzing and comparing nonformal education systems. The framework identifies three levels of analysis: national, regional, and local. The major elements of the framework are discussed and questions are provided indicating at which level they can be asked.
Major conclusions of the study are discussed in terms of planning nonformal education systems. Some recommendations for further research are provided.Education, Faculty of

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo geral analisar a dinâmica de funcionamento das atividades não formais do Colégio Estadual Guadalajara e apontar para possíveis pontes-diálogo entre educação formal e não formal nesse espaço escolar. Para atingir esse objetivo a dissertação contemplou: a) a descrição das atividades do Núcleo de Cultura do Guadá desde a sua implementação, b) a análise das possíveis relações estabelecidas entre as atividades não formais e as atividades oferecidas pela instituição a partir do proposto pela rede oficial de ensino e c) a influência do Programa Mais Educação na promoção das atividades não formais de ensino pela escola. Nesse sentido, a investigação em foco, ressalta o regime colaborativo entre o ideal de educação integral proposto pelo programa e a perspectiva de formação holística do indivíduo presente nas atividades não formais do C.E. Guadalajara. Para isso conta com aporte teórico de autores como Gohn (2010), Trilla (2008), Gadotti (2005) e Libâneo (2010) para conceituar e categorizar educação formal e não formal. E, com Ferreira (2007), Guará (2006), Cavaliere (2002) e Coelho (s/d) para esclarecer a perspectiva de educação integral e problematizá-la. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados foram: observação não-participante, análise documental, história oral e aplicação de entrevistas semi-estruturada realizadas com as duas animadoras culturais do Núcleo de Cultura. Os resultados revelam que, de fato existem articulações pontuais entre educação formal e não formal na escola pesquisada. Este aspecto está relacionado com a participação de professores no planejamento das atividades não formais e a melhoria do rendimento dos alunos nas disciplinas formais em virtude da participação nas oficinas ofertadas pelo núcleo. No tocante a colaboração do Programa Mais Educação para a promoção das atividades não formais da escola foi constatado que o programa serviu como auxílio para subsidiar atividades que já ocorriam no espaço escolar sem seu financiamento.This research has the objective to analyze the dynamics of the operation of non-formal activities of the State College Guadalajara and point to possible dialogue - bridges between formal and non-formal education in the school environment. To achieve this goal the dissertation included: a) a description of the activities of the Center for Culture of Guada since its implementation, b) analysis of the possible relations between the non-formal activities and the activities offered by the institution from the network proposed by official teaching and c) the influence of More Education program in the promotion of non-formal education activities for school. In this sense, the research focus, emphasizes the collaborative arrangements between the ideal of comprehensive education offered by the program and the prospect of holistic training of this individual in the non-formal activities of the EC Guadalajara. For it has theoretical support of authors like Gohn (2010), Trilla (2008), Gadotti (2005) and Libâneo (2010) to conceptualize and categorize formal and non-formal education. And Ferreira (2007), Guara (2006), Cavaliere (2002) and Coelho (s/d) to clarify the perspective of integral education and problematize it. The methodological procedures were non - participant observation, document analysis, oral history and application of semi - structured interviews with both cultural encouraging of Nucleus of Culture. The results show that indeed there are specific links between formal and non-formal education in the school studied. This is linked with the participation of teachers in the planning of non-formal activities and improving student performance in formal disciplines by participating in workshops offered by the core. Regarding the collaboration of More Education Programme for the promotion of non-formal school activities was found that the program served as an aid to subsidize activities that have occurred at school without their funding.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to define the private sector's receive-site coordinator's role and current practice associated with the day-to-day management of a distance receive site by describing what private sector receive-site coordinators do in practice. Descriptive data were collected in six areas: demographics, private sector receive-site coordinators' reporting relationships, distance education equipment and usage, tuition support for students at receive-site locations, private sector receive-site coordinators' knowledge of distance education, and the private sector receive-site coordinators' current practice.Many organizations in business and industry in the private sector invest in distance education systems and programs as a means of providing educational opportunities for their employees. These organizations assign the duties of managing their receive-site location to an employee in their organization. The polices and procedures of organizations receiving distance education programs, the job level of the person assigned the receive-site coordinator responsibilities, the knowledge level of the receive-site coordinator, and the practices of the receive-site coordinator are variables that influence employee participation in distance education programs. Additionally, those variables impact distance education university administrators in administering and marketing the university's distance education programs to organizations. Yet, there is very little literature that speaks to the distance education receive-site coordinators' role or the knowledge and skills required to manage a distance education receive-site location.By conducting this research, the private sector receive-site coordinators' practice was described. It was concluded that private sector receive-site coordinators are a non-homogenous group of mostly training and development professionals with undergraduate degrees and have the responsibility of managing the day-to-day activities of receive-sites by incorporating the duties of a private sector receive-site coordinator with their otherday-to-day work activities. The private sector receive-site coordinators' job responsibilities span a variety of tasks that include marketing programs, helping students overcome problems, assisting with course logistics, and installing, operating, and in some cases, maintaining distance education equipment. It was also concluded that university administrators viewed the role of the private sector receive-site coordinator as a key element of the distance education system.Department of Educational Leadership

Full textAbstract:
This research investigated the past relationship between the formal education and nonformal educational systems in Palestine as a basis for considering what form the relationship may take in the future. The study was based on the initial understanding that within the field of study and practice of continuing education, non-formal education has been conceptualised as having a particular role to play in producing a more equitable society. The study was undertaken at a significant political moment. Non-formal educational institutions and programmes had flourished when, under Israeli occupation, much formal education provision was restricted. Palestinian non-formal education played a significant role in resistance to Israeli occupation and in the Intifada (1987-1994). In 1993, with the signing of the Israeli-Palestinian Declaration of Principle on Interim Self Government, the geo-political context for the Palestinian people and Palestinian institutions changed and a transitional national authority was established. The research was shaped to consider this transitional context. The research was planned to include interviews with people who were likely to be players in the process of national policy formulation. The researcher standpoint was that of a known NFE practitioner. The intention of the field approach was (a) to assess whether a perspective on social exclusion or, for reasons described in the dissertation, educational exclusion was likely to inform the education policy of the new regime and (b) to stimulate through the interview conversation, consideration of the past and future role of non-formal education in Palestine. Analysis of the views of 31 members of the educational elite was informed and contextualised by a review of the literature (mostly in English and much of it written in relation to developing societies) on non-formal education, statistical data, research reports and case studies of education in Palestine. The research argues for the necessity of reforming and reshaping Palestinian non-formal education, and for strategies to be adopted that integrate formal education and non-formal education. Consideration of policy options for the future of Palestinian non-formal education was set within a model of relationships between non-formal education and forms of governance.

Full textAbstract:
The researcher examined beginning teacher induction programs in large and small districts in Tennessee for the 1997-1998 school year. Types of induction, formal and informal, were examined. The study looked at the teacher attitudes of job satisfaction, job adjustment, and socialization into the profession of teaching. The research design included five questions with two hypotheses used for testing differences between teacher attitudes in large and small systems. Beginning first-year teachers were surveyed and asked to rate their induction program as to best practices. Teachers rated the occurrence of activities in seven areas and how supportive activities were in their roles as beginning teachers. The questions were tested and statistically analyzed using chi-square and analysis of variance procedures. No differences were found in the occurrence of induction activities in large and small systems. No differences were found in how supportive an event was in large and small systems. A difference was found in job adjustment between large and small systems, but not in job satisfaction or socialization into the profession. Recommendations for further research were made to augment the study.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to clarify the structure of information systems employed by trustees in higher education and to evaluate the relationships of these systems to decision-making. Communication and organizational theories characterizing the role of informal and formal information used by policy makers and top management in organizational decision-making provided the framework for this study. Studies of top-level corporate executives (Adams 1975; Quinn 1980; Jones and McLeod 1986) revealed executives' strong preferences for and substantial use of information from informal channels for planning and decision-making. These theories were integrated with the research of Ingram (1980) and Schmidtlein (1977) concerning information source use by trustees in higher education governance.;Trustees from a small public college and a small private college comprised the sample for this study. The 25 trustees who participated in the research had served at least one academic year on their respective college boards. A biographical questionnaire requesting certain demographic data was given to the study participants. Individual interviews asking the trustees to specify the sources of information they use when making decisions for their institution were conducted.;Frequencies and percentages were calculated to identify distinctive patterns of informal and formal information source use by trustees. Results illustrate similar preferences and use of informal information in decision-making by the trustees and senior executives. The study's findings verify that informal information plays an important role in the decision processes of trustees in higher education. Notable differences in information source use were identified among trustees from the public college and the private college.;Further systematic study and development of a theory describing the role of informal information in decision processes of trustees is needed in order to fully explain all aspects of trusteeship and governance of colleges and universities.

Capozzoli, Thomas K. "Motivational orientations of adults returning to formal education : a quantitative study." Virtual Press, 1987. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/517084.
Full textAbstract:
In 1961, Cyril O. Houle, Professor of Education at The University of Chicago, conducted a qualitative study on why adults return to adult education classes. This study was the first of many studies to be conducted in the last twenty-six years. Most of the motivational research flows from Houle's three factor typology. This typology describes the motivations for adults returning to education as either "goal" oriented, "activity" oriented or "learning" oriented. Studies conducted since Houle's, by Sheffield, Burgess, Boshier and others have identified more orientations than did Houle. Boshier (1971) developed the Education Participation Scale (EPS) to identify the orientations of adults returning to adult education classes. This study used the EPS to determine if the orientation of ninety-nine adults enrolled in an adult education program in Northeast Indiana, compared to the orientations of adults who have taken the EPS worldwide. Five of the participants of the adult education program were interviewed over a five month time period to obtain their judgments on why adults return to formal educational settings. These interviews were analyzed for trends, themes and similarities and differences in the content.Findings1. The ninety-nine participants taking the EPS did differ from those participants who had taken the EPS worldwide.2. There were no topics raised in interviews that differed from the topics present in the EPS or existing factors in the EPS.3. Four of the five participants interviewed generally fit Houle's (1961) definitions of "goal" oriented adults. One participant fit Houle's definition of a "learning" oriented adult.Conclusions1. Although the interview data brought about no specific conclusions there were recommendations for further study in the area of motivational orientations of adult students.

Full textAbstract:
The non-formal adult (25-64 year olds) education in public and private teaching sectors on the basis of social and human capital, including both learners’ and non-formal education organizers’ situation is analyzed in this dissertational research. The specific purpose of this dissertation is seen through the reality that non-formal adult education is more oriented towards the expectations of employers for their employees’ better qualification(s) while placing the possibilities for personal growth and self-expression aside (i.e. escaping from human capital and putting the social capital into the first place). Also, the manifestations of social stratification in these processes are captured as well, by stressing such aspects as: the education of adult learners, the age factor and the sectors where adults work. While implementing the dissertational research, main statements to be defended were explored and confirmed as well: i) human capital remains more oriented towards social capital accumulation in the public and private sectors of non-formal adult education; ii) the differences between non-formal adult education public and private teaching sectors are rather slight.Disertacijoje analizuojamas neformalusis suaugusiųjų (25-64 metų amžiaus) švietimas žmogiškojo ir socialinio kapitalo aspektu valstybiniame bei privačiame mokymo sektoriuose besimokančiųjų ir neformalųjį švietimą organizuojančių institucijų lygmenis. Formuluojama problematika, kad neformalusis suaugusiųjų švietimas, kaip vienas svarbiausių asmens sėkmingo veikimo visuomenėje, tenkinant jo/jos pažinimo, lavinimosi bei saviraiškos poreikius garantų, yra daugiau orientuotas į esamų darbdavių lūkesčius darbuotojų kvalifikacijai tobulinti/kelti, akivaizdžiai atsiejant individo saviugdos/asmenybės tobulėjimo bei saviraiškos galimybes (kitaip tariant, atitrūkstama nuo žmogiškojo kapitalo į pirmąją vietą iškeliant socialinį). Taip pat šiame procese pastebimos ir socialinės stratifikacijos apraiškos, ypač išskiriant besimokančiųjų grupių išsilavinimo, amžiaus bei sektorių, kuriuose dirbama, aspektus. Tyrimo eigoje buvo išanalizuoti bei patvirtinti ir ginamieji teiginiai, kad: a) neformaliajame suaugusiųjų švietime valstybinio ir privataus mokymo sektoriuose žmogiškasis kapitalas išlieka orientuotas į socialinio kapitalo kaupimą ir b) skirtumai tarp neformalųjį suaugusiųjų švietimą vykdančių valstybinio ir privataus mokymo sektorių yra nežymūs.

This research took place in the Curumim Program at the SESC unit in the city of Araraquara / SP, with children from 7 to 12 years of age, Children whose parents work in the commercial area and in tourism. The program aims at the integral development of the child through cultural, artistic and sports activities that prioritize the playfulness and quality of life. The general objective of the research was to identify possibilities in the development of educational and musical processes with children from the perspective of non - formal education, valuing a dialogical praxis between children and researcher. The research was based on authors of music education, such as Brito (2001, 2003, 2007), Koellreutter (1997), Joly and Severino (2016), who supported the concepts of music education, articulated with other area theorists. . In order to understand and contextualize non-formal education, the contributions came from research on texts by Gohn (2007, 2008), Garcia (2015), Park and Fernandes (2005, 2015), authors who have been studying the systematization of this area of study in Brazil. The research still relied mainly on the thinking of Freire (2014) to understand the exchange between knowledge and dialogical praxis. The methodology had a qualitative approach, with reflections based on some of the concepts of the Phenomenology, based on authors such as Merleau-Ponty (2011, 2013, 2014), Bicudo (2011), Martins e Bicudo ) And Rezende (1990). Data collection was based on Bogdan and Biklen (1994), children's drawings and writings, and photos of some of the musical moments. The research brings contributions to the production of knowledge about the music in education with children. Showing the importance of dialogue as a way to construct an autonomous world, and as a motivating element for the construction of joint propositions between children and educators.

Full textAbstract:
The increased enrollment of adult learners in colleges and universities that offer online
programs has provoked a need for skilled online adjunct faculty. Administrators at online
universities in the Mideastern region of the United States have sought to better
understand the relationship between formal evaluations and teaching practices of the
online adjunct faculty. Guided by the theory of adult learning, the purpose of this study
was to determine the relationship between formal evaluations of the teaching practices of
online adjunct faculty and their professional development. A correlational study was
completed to determine the association between online adjunct faculty's perceptions of
formal evaluation processes, attitudes about teaching and, decisions to make changes in
instructional behavior. This study also addressed the association between formal
evaluations and online adjunct faculty's willingness to participate in professional
development opportunities. Online adjunct faculty with 1 or more years of online
teaching experience at a local university who had experienced a formal evaluation
participated in this research. A Spearman correlation analysis indicated a positive
association between online adjunct faculty teaching practices and their perceptions of the
quality of formal evaluations. A Spearman correlation analysis also indicated a positive
association between online adjunct faculty willingness to seek and take advantage of
professional development and their perception of the quality of formal evaluations. The
project study supports strategies for developing and implementing evaluative processes
that measure effective teaching practices and encourage professional development for
online adjunct faculty. Formal evaluative processes can affect social change by ensuring
the maintenance of quality academic standards at online universities.

Full textAbstract:
The uptake of formal education has been comparatively low for Ghanaian Muslim women and girls since the inception of formal education in Ghana. Consequently, few Muslim women in Ghana occupy key administrative and political positions because they lack formal qualifications which are acquired through formal education. The Ghanaian Government is working towards the achievement of universal primary education and the promotion of gender equality by 2015 as a means to improving the situation of Ghanaian women. This research investigates Ghanaian Muslim women's experiences and perceptions of formal education and the links between their levels of education and their participation in paid employment and local and national decision-making. It applies multi-method approaches based on a framework of Islamic feminism and social justice. Fifty-four Muslim women selected from three districts of the Eastern Region of Ghana participated in the study. Data were collected through semIstructured individual and group interviews and from observations in the field. Findings from the study reveal that perceived poor quality and lack of relevance of formal education on offer, the effect of commitment to social networks, hegemonic structures, fear of cultural shifts resulting from colonial influence, and lack of female-friendly school environments constituted barriers to Muslim women's education. Other findings suggest that poverty, gender inequality, and unresponsive administrative, political and educational structures impact on Ghanaian Muslim (and other) women's educational opportunities. The implications of the findings are discussed in relation to structures and opportunities for education and participation in decision-making at local-government and national levels. The study argues for the importance of addressing these issues if Muslim female participation in formal education is to increase. This, in tum, may enhance women's capacity and willingness to take up key administrative and political responsibilities, improve Muslim women's status and promote social justice in Ghana.

Results show that the Ministry of Education is still missing the true value of activities such as Eco-Schools and that Environmental Education is still overcoming Education for Sustainable Development in the activities carried by the stakeholders. Also, it was found that parents consider that they have changed behaviors towards a more environmental-friendly way of living due to their children.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine principals' perceptions of how effective mentoring programs and university-based principal preparation programs are in developing the skills necessary to carry out the 13 critical success factors identified by the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB). A review of the literature addressed what it means to be an effective principal and what an effective mentoring program should look like.
The quantitative study was conducted using a survey developed from the SREB's 13 critical success factors that have been developed to determine what makes a successful, effective principal. Each factor was developed into a question about whether or not Northeast Tennessee principals perceive that they were adequately prepared to be successful principals in their principal preparation programs and if they received any training through a mentoring program on these same 13 factors once they received their principalship.
The overall results indicated that few principals participated in a formal mentoring program and those who did received a marginal amount of assistance on the critical factors identified by the SREB. The results also showed that, overall, the respondents indicated that they received more adequate leadership training during their principal preparation programs on the SREB's factors in their classroom experience than they did through their hands-on experience; although, respondents did not give particularly high marks to either experience. Furthermore, respondents who belong to a cohort scored their training higher than those who did not belong to a cohort, and those who received a degree higher than a master's degree reported a higher level of training than did their peers with only master's degrees on some of the SREB's critical success factors.

National reforms, such as the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), Common Core State Standards Mathematical Practices (CCSMP), and Partnership for 21st Century Learning (P-21) challenge educators to provide students with dynamic learning experiences that address the needs of learners in today's society. These new standards represent a paradigm shift away from the meticulous content memorization of many state standards, toward more dynamic measures addressing the whole learner. To truly develop the leaders, innovators and thinkers of tomorrow, educators are beginning to look beyond the traditional schoolhouse walls to intertwine intentionally designed non-formal learning experiences within formal education. These non-formal experiences serve to connect seemingly disparate skills and knowledge through real-life, hands-on, minds-on learning. Embracing partnerships with individuals and organizations beyond the classroom fosters an environment seamlessly connecting life, work, and school.
Although the importance of student engagement in 21st century skills is at the forefront of current educational reforms, little has been done to assess this engagement. While standards such as Common Core State Standards and NGSS have measures in place for domain-specific 21st century skills, aside from PISA's cross-curricular problem solving test, there are few resources to measure non-domain specific engagement in these skills. Without a viable measure, detractors can argue that the term 21st century skills is meaningless and it distracts students from learning core content. Bridging the divide between skills and content is essential to build support for skills that reach far beyond isolated subject-matter knowledge. Engaging students in these skills through non-formal learning, and measuring the extent of student engagement in these skills will drive the development of future opportunities for students to hone them in creative ways.
The purpose of this study was to measure student engagement in 21st century skills while they participate in a non-formal learning experience. Once a viable measurement was developed, it was utilized to measure student percent of engagement in each specific 21st century Learning and Innovation skill (creativity and innovation, critical thinking, problem solving), Life and Career skill (flexibility and adaptability, initiative, self-direction and productivity, leadership, responsibility and accountability), and Socio-Cultural skill (communication and collaboration) while students participated in the intentionally designed non-formal learning experience of orienteering. The study also described what characterizes a viable non-formal learning experience facilitating student engagement in 21st century skills.
Analysis of data revealed the non-formal learning experience of orienteering engages students in 21st century Learning and Innovation Skills, Life and Career Skills and Socio-Cultural Skills. Specifically, communication and collaboration, critical thinking skills and initiative, self-direction and productivity comprise the largest student engagement. Engagement in leadership, responsibility and accountability, problem solving, and flexibility and adaptability are also evident. This particular non-formal learning experience facilitates very little student engagement of creativity and innovation. While not generalizable to a larger population, this study confirms that students immersed in a non-formal learning activity will become engaged in essential 21st century skills for school, life and work, therefore, this type of learning is a valuable part of instructional time within the formal instructional day and beyond.Ph.

Full textAbstract:
Effective leadership has a positive impact upon schools and student achievement. Teacher inclusion in leadership efforts has grown during a time of school reform. In order to sustain and define teacher leader responsibilities, efficacious teachers need to be supported by school and district administrators. A case study was used to understand the dynamics of self-efficacy as it pertains to teacher leaders in the Oak Ridge School District in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Purposive sampling was used to select 5 teacher leaders and 2 district administrators for the case study. Interviews along with observations of meetings facilitated by teacher leaders allowed for inductive analysis of the phenomenon of self-efficacy for teachers in formal leadership roles.
Self-efficacy of teacher leaders can be nurtured through various structures, climates, and learning opportunities. School districts can purposefully design teacher leadership opportunities with a clearly defined vision for all stakeholders. The findings of the study support and extend the literature on the sources of self-efficacy. Attention to the sources of efficacy for teacher leaders could help administrators plan successful leadership opportunities and assists in retention for teacher leadership roles.

This study aims to analyze, by means of two case studies, some movement for the construction of the curriculum of Full-Time Education in an educational context formed by a partnership between two institutions: an elementary school, which includes the formal dimension of education and an Urban Social Center (USC), a socioeducative institution that represents the dimension of the non-formal education, both located in the city of Barretos (SP, Brazil). This study was developed from the participation in the full time project when it was observed that the movements toward the organization of the aforementioned school allowed to infer at first a bias between the formal and non-formal, which was consolidated later on in a diffuse perception of the process and the project, which caused an opening to better understand what is the full time school in the formal and non-formal dimensions. This research was developed from two case studies, C1 and C2, in an elementary school from 1st to 5th grade and an Urban Social Center (USC), which caters to that school unit a full time project. The choice of these institutions occurred because of their location: a neighborhood of lower socioeconomic class of a city in the state of São Paulo. This study brought together teachers, the school principal, and USC educators. The results for the first case study showed that most participants understand the Full Time School (FTS) as a supplementary period of learning. On the overall, the teachers and the school principal pointed out more negative aspects (N=25) than positive ones (N=22) and most report not seeing differences between those students who attend full-time and those who attend part-time school. No differences were noticed regarding the average grades of full-time students and part-time ones. In Case 2, three of the USC educators reported the FTS as being a place where the student stays all day long, and three others as a fully equipped place to meet the needs of students and a place that facilitates the students daily routines and their safety. The main positive aspect mentioned in relation to the FTS was the safety sensation that the school provides for working parents who do not have a place where to leave their children. As a negative aspect, they point out the lack of interaction between parents and children and the students fatigue. The USC offers children/teens dance workshops, physical education and drama. From these studies, it was possible to evaluate the results on the operation of the program or project and on tutoring classes aimed at strengthening the students' learning of their curricular subjects. Moreover, the results also pointed out scarce equipment and teaching resources, and insufficient spaces for the students to rest and have recreation. Thus, it was concluded that, comparing what was intended with the full time school with what the literature on this subject shows, the USC, considered as such, was classified as a non-formal education center
O presente trabalho objetiva analisar, por meio de dois estudos de caso, alguns movimentos realizados para a construção do currículo da Educação de Tempo Integral em um contexto educacional formado pela parceria entre duas instituições: uma escola de ensino fundamental, que compreende a dimensão formal da educação e um Centro Social Urbano (CSU), instituição socioeducativa que representa a dimensão não formal da educação, ambos localizados na cidade de Barretos (SP). Este estudo desenvolveu-se a partir da participação no projeto de tempo integral ao observar que os movimentos em direção à organização da referida escola permitiram inferir, inicialmente, um viés entre o formal e o não formal, que se consubstanciou, mais tarde, em uma percepção difusa do processo e do projeto, o que provocou uma abertura para compreender melhor o que é a escola de tempo integral, nas dimensões do formal e do não formal. Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida, partir de dois estudos, E1 e E2, em uma escola de ensino fundamental de 1º ao 5º ano e em um Centro Social Urbano (CSU), que atende à referida unidade escolar, com projeto integral. A escolha dessas instituições ocorreu pelo fato de localizaram-se em um bairro de classe socioeconômica baixa de uma cidade do interior do estado de São Paulo. Participaram professores e diretor da escola e educadores do CSU. Os resultados referentes ao Estudo 1 mostraram que a maioria dos participantes entendem a Escola de Tempo Integral (ETI) como um período complementar ao aprendizado da escola. Na avaliação total, os docentes e diretor apontaram mais aspectos negativos (N=25) do que positivos (N=22) e a maioria relata não ver diferenças entre os alunos que frequentam o período integral e o parcial. Quanto às médias das notas dos alunos de período integral e parcial, não se notou diferenças. No Estudo 2, três dos profissionais do CSU relataram ser a ETI um local em que o aluno permanece o dia inteiro, e outros três um local totalmente equipado para suprir as necessidades dos alunos e um local que facilita o dia a dia e a segurança do aluno. O principal aspecto positivo citado em relação à ETI foi a segurança que a escola fornece aos pais que trabalham e não têm um local para deixar o filho. E, como aspecto negativo, a falta de convivência entre pais e filhos e o cansaço dos alunos. O CSU oferece às crianças/adolescentes oficinas de dança, educação física e teatro. A partir desses Estudos, foi possível avaliar os resultados sobre o funcionamento do programa ou do Projeto e sobre as oficinas curriculares de reforço que visavam retomar o conteúdo aplicado no currículo básico. Além disso, os resultados apontaram também os escassos equipamentos e recursos pedagógicos, além de insuficientes espaços para descanso e lazer dos alunos. Dessa forma, concluiu-se que, cotejando o que se pretendia com escola de tempo integral com o que a literatura sobre o tema aponta, o CSU, considerado como tal, passou a ser classificado como um local de educação não formal
