Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the Direct Method of language instruction and how it has been implemented in Latin pedagogy. It shows that the method has been used in Latin instruction throughout history and that it has been proven as an effective method. A section of textbook reviews also shows how the Direct Method has evolved and is used today in the classroom. Further, a study was conducted where direct methodology was used in a classroom setting which showed it as an effective means of instruction.

Lloyd, Mair Elizabeth. "Living Latin : exploring a communicative approach to Latin teaching through a sociocultural perspective on language learning." Thesis, Open University, 2017. http://oro.open.ac.uk/48886/.
Full textAbstract:
This study is motivated by the search for new practices to enhance the teaching of <i>ab initio</i> Latin in UK universities. It arises out of a perception that traditional methods leave some students failing to achieve course aims, their own study goals, and, in the longer term, struggling to read Latin texts with understanding and engagement. At the outset of this research, there was little recent information on Latin pedagogy in UK universities or on student opinions on provision. Some scholarship expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of Latin reading skills attained, but little work had been done on defining the nature of desirable skills or in exploring how they might be attained or investigated. This study instigates progress in all these areas. To advance understanding of how Latin learning takes place and to investigate the potential benefits of existing conceptual and pedagogical frameworks, this study draws on modern language learning theories and teaching practices and explores the application of Vygotskian sociocultural theory to learning events taking place under a communicative teaching approach. Research methods were selected pragmatically, with quantitative methods deployed to obtain a comprehensive snapshot of current practice in UK universities, while the more complex areas of learning events and perceived benefits were investigated through a combination of participant observation, interviews and innovative reading and drawing exercises. The findings confirm that traditional <i>ab initio</i> Latin teaching approaches are not well-aligned with learners’ goals, establish the value of taking a broader approach to pedagogy and provide new ways of defining and investigating Latin reading skills. This research has the potential to enhance Latin pedagogy in UK universities and other institutions. It makes a seminal contribution to applying language learning theories to Latin and suggests innovative methods for aligning students’ needs and expectations with their learning experience.

Full textAbstract:
<p> The search for effective teaching methods of Chican@/Latin@ students reached a new level of complexity when it was found that Chican@/Latin@ students who participated in the Mexican American/Raza Studies program (MARSD) in Tucson, Arizona were outperforming their White counterparts in academic achievement measures (Cabrera, Milem, Jaquette, & Marx, 2014). Rather than praise the MAS program and direct educational researchers to learn and replicate the effective teaching strategies of the program, powerful educational stakeholders sent lawyers and passed legislation HB 2281 which created the legal rationale to terminate the program (Cabrera et al., 2014). This raises the question: How serious are we as a society, including the field of Education, about closing achievement gaps and learning about effective teaching strategies of Chican@/Latin@ students? History may have the answer. </p><p> We know that the field of Education has historically failed Chican@/Latin@ students and other working class students of color in general (Duncan-Andrade, 2005b; Ladson-Billings, 1998; Noguera, Hurtado, & Fergus, 2013). Research in education of Chican@/Latin@/Chicano studies has extensive data illustrating school failure in the form of “drop out” or “push out” rates, low graduation rates, and low performance on academic achievement measures, for Chicano/a students (Luna & Revilla, 2013; Yosso, 2006). When you add that in places like California, Chican@/Latin@ students represent more than 53% of students enrolled in public schools, understanding how to effectively teach the largest demographic population becomes an ethical concern (California Department of Education, 2013-2014). </p><p> This study examines effective teaching of Chican@/Latin@ students in Hope Valley (pseudonym). I use survey instruments to ask Chican@/Latin@ college students from Hope Valley Community College to identify the most effective teachers in their K-12 experience. This form of community nomination is unique in the educational research in that it honors the pedagogical knowledge of young adults, rather than the conventional sources of knowledge (e.g., teachers, parents, scholars, and other educational researchers). The results of the survey lead me inside the classroom of these community nominated teachers, where I use ethnographic methods to learn about their efficacy as identified by their former students. This study asserts that a strengths-based community responsive approach to understanding effective teaching of Chican@/Latin@ students increases local capacity for community members and educational stakeholders to build on the unique pedagogical strengths of their own community.</p><p>

Full textAbstract:
Learning about time was part of the indoctrination of Christians in the late antique West. Time played an important role in Scripture and also in the pagan milieu from which most catechumens came. Thus, bishops were required to explain to their flocks traditional Christian concepts of time, while at the same time refute unacceptable ideas concerning time (i.e., astrology, pagan festivities), which were normally an ingrained part of the late Roman mind-set. The sermon was the predominant means of communicating these ideas. Chapters one and two begin by establishing the boundaries of time (Creation and eschatology). Bishops attempted to link all time to Christ by demonstrating that time-units had their origin in Creation and their consummation in the dies iudicii. This belief in Christ's mastery over time proved advantageous in anti-pagan and anti-heretical polemic. Chapters three through five examine the time-units themselves (e.g., the year, month, seasons, week, day and night). Symbolic exegesis and technical explanations of the workings of time-units were used to fortify the belief that all time comes from God, which, in turn furthered the demythologization of sun, moon, and stars. Chapter six examines episcopal prescriptions as to how lay Christian should spend their day-to-day life. As a general rule, bishops promoted the devotion of all time to God, requiring, at least as an ideal, that their flocks live like ascetics. This included frequent fasting and almsgiving and daily public and private worship. Chapters seven and eight follow episcopal attempts to enlarge their calendars with festivals, thus increasing the special periods of time during which the laity would be fixated on God.

Previous issue date: 2006<br>Resumo: A observação do atual panorama do ensino de língua latina em algumas universidades brasileiras, conforme traçado por vários autores, permite constatar que grande parte dos problemas aí encontrados se devem, entre outras causas, a uma metodologia originária de concepções incertas quanto aos objetivos do ensino de uma língua com as características do latim. Partindo da análise de um método de ensino dessa língua, considerado dos mais completos à disposição atualmente, inclusive no que tange à consideração nele feita da própria cultura clássica (Reading Latin, criado há duas décadas pelos professores Peter Jones [University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, U.K.] e Keith Sidwell [St. Patrick¿s College, Irlanda] e utilizado em universidades como a Federal do Paraná [UFPR] e a Estadual de Campinas [UNICAMP]), pretende-se justamente investigar as razões e a metodologia que têm levado os estudantes das universidades públicas do Estado de São Paulo, em especial, a estudar e aprender latim. Concebido, pois, o emprego de um método produzido em língua diferente do português em universidades brasileiras, nossa pesquisa toca em questões fundamentais, relativas (1) às perspectivas do ensino de latim para o nível superior, (2) aos pressupostos lingüísticos e culturais que animam o método e (3) ao papel da língua materna na aprendizagem de uma língua ''estrangeira'', observadas as particularidades que distinguem as línguas clássicas das vernáculas<br>Abstract: The look at the current Latin language teaching panorama at some Brazilian universities, according to several authors, allows one to ascertain that the most part of the problems within this panorama is due to, among other factors, a methodology stemming from uncertain conceptions regarding the teaching goals of a language such as Latin.

Full textAbstract:
This model proposes an approach for teaching history through drama in education. The program uses the framework of la carpa, a Mexican American theatrical tradition. Participants develop historical knowledge and skills of expression while they learn to use their own lives as a key to understanding the lives of others. In the past two decades in the U.S., drama teachers and youth project leaders have been employing social drama to encourage adolescents to express their fears, frustrations and experiences. As with the tradition of la carpa, the scripts reveal sentiments that may not be able to be spoken safely elsewhere. In contrast to the production of classic, scripted plays, social drama provides participants with the opportunity to create their own material using their own lives as primary resources. In addition to challenging participants aesthetically, the teaching model of la carpa fosters interpersonal development.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers the history of Latin pedagogy through the lens of the Comprehensible Input Theory of second language acquisition (SLA) developed by Stephen Krashen in the 1980s. It rejects Grammar-Translation pedagogy in favor of Living Latin pedagogy, which prioritizes language acquisition over language learning. Evidence of successful Comprehensible Input pedagogy found in many examples of Latin instruction from history shows the potential to adapt for the modern classroom those historical methods which were oriented towards the acquisition of the Latin language, and these have subsequently been shown to be supported by Krashen's work.

Classical Studies, as a subject, has not been seriously presented in many schools until fairly recently. Britain initiated the introduction of Classical Studies to the school curriculum in 1974, and interest has continued to grow steadily in other countries like America, New Zealand, Australia and Canada. This thesis was started on the assumption that this entirely new subject could be introduced into the curriculum for standard six and seven pupils at South African schools, for reasons which will be given later. As work continued on the thesis, the 1985 syllabus for Latin lent it further impetus. Some of the implications of the new Latin syllabus will be considered in the conclusion (Introduction, p. 6)

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR<br>As Escolas de Formação Fé e Política são uma feição contemporânea da formação política dos cristãos na Igreja do Brasil. Conhecer a origem desse novo modelo de formação, mapear essas escolas e socializar suas experiências têm grande relevância pastoral, sendo que neste trabalho são apresentadas treze escolas. A tese que se defende nesta pesquisa é a de que existe uma teologia subjacente a estas escolas e, por isto, seu objetivo principal é o de fazer um estudo teológico dos objetivos, programas e conteúdos de formação das escolas, tendo como parâmetro o Ensino Social da Igreja e a Teologia latino-americana. No que se refere ao Ensino Social da Igreja, será seguida a indicação da Evangelii Nuntiandi, tendo como base a Constituição Pastoral Gaudium et Spes e demais documentos da Doutrina Social da Igreja. No que tange a Teologia latino-americana, serão consideradas sua metodologia e sua reflexão teológica, bem como os modelos teológicos de relação Fé e Política engendrados por teólogos deste continente. A conclusão a que se chegou é que existem ênfases teológicas diversas, presentes nas Escolas de Formação Fé e Política.<br>The Faith and Politics Formation Schools are a contemporary expression of the Christian political formation at the Brazilian Catholic Church. To know the source of this new formation model, to map these schools and socialize their experiences is a very important pastoral task, so this work presents thirteen schools. The proposed thesis in this research is that there is a theology that underlies these schools and, therefore, in this work, the main objective is to develop a theological study of its objectives, programs and content related to the formation, based on the Social Teaching of the Church and in Latin American theology, as a perspective. Regarding the Social Teaching of the Church, it will be followed an indication of Evangelii Nuntiandi, based on the Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et Spes, and other documents of the Social Doctrine of the Church. As far as Latin American Theology, it will be considered its methodology and its theological reflection, as well as the theological models of the relationship between Faith and Politics`, engendered by theologians of this continent. The conclusion reached is that there are different theological emphasis present in Faith and Politics Formation Schools.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation aims to analyze the laws, specially the royal legislation from June, 28th 1759, , as well as the teaching process of Latin, taking into consideration the reforms which promoted the teaching development in Brazil. The institutionalization of the teaching practice was also analyzed here, bearing in mind the fact that, at that time, the teaching practice was, for the first time, directly related to the State, and the State was its legal provider. Both objects cannot be dissociated, since the license was necessary for those who wanted to teach Latin. This license could be obtained through public contest, which became necessary when the State started to control education. The institutionalization of the Teaching Practice will be analyzed taking as a starting point the given legislation and its effectiveness, which could be noticed in the correspondences exchanged between the General Director of Studies and his subordinates. This research was carried out based on the analyses of some sources related to the Pombaline Legislation concerning the language teaching, especially those which were produced between the years 1759 and 1772, a period which was referred as the first stage of the pedagogical reform which occurred in Portugal and its domains. This period was established to analyze the given laws had as starting point 1759 was defined as the starting point, with the legislation of June, 28th, also known as the Minor Studies Reform, and 1771 was considered the final date, with the extinction of the position of the General Director of Studies. In 1772, it was promulgated the law which reformulated the Minor Studies and opened schools in all territories, and initiated the second phase of the reforms. It should be emphasized that the legislation corresponding to the Pombaline Reforms extends until 1827, when it opened the first school of first letters in Brazil.<br>Este trabalho objetivou analisar, a partir das Reformas Pombalinas da Instrução Pública, principalmente o Alvará Régio de 28 de junho de 1759, como se deu o ensino de Língua Latina, observando até que ponto tais reformas impulsionaram o desenvolvimento desse ensino no Brasil. Associado a isso, pretendeu-se analisar também a institucionalização da Profissão Docente, levando em consideração o fato de que naquele momento teve início a conformação da atividade docente submetida ao Estado, sendo este seu provedor legal. Ambos os objetos, no desenvolvimento deste trabalho, não puderam ser dissociados, posto que, para o exercício do primeiro ensino de Latim era necessária a licença adquirida através da aprovação em concurso público instituído quando o Estado Português passou a controlar a educação. Já o segundo, a institucionalização da Profissão Docente, foi analisado a partir da citada legislação e de sua efetivação percebida nas correspondências trocadas entre o Diretor Geral dos Estudos e seus subordinados. A pesquisa foi realizada a partir da análise da algumas peças da Legislação Pombalina sobre o ensino de línguas, especificamente aquelas promulgadas entre os anos de 1759 e 1771, que fazem parte do conjunto de leis que constituíram a primeira fase da reforma pedagógica ocorrida em Portugal e seus domínios. O recorte estabelecido para a análise das leis teve como marco inicial 1759, com o Alvará de 28 de junho de 1759, ou Lei Geral de Reforma dos Estudos Menores, e marco final 1771, com a extinção do cargo de Diretor Geral dos Estudos. Em 1772 foi promulgado o alvará de reformulação dos Estudos Menores com abertura de escolas em todos os domínios, dando início à segunda fase das reformas. Convém salientar que a legislação correspondente às Reformas Pombalinas estende-se até 1827, quando foram abertas as primeiras escolas de primeiras letras no Brasil.

Full textAbstract:
Aeneas in the Antipodes offers an Australian perspective on the teaching of Virgil�s poetry in the secondary school. The study examines practices in the State of New South Wales from 1900 to the early years of the twenty-first century. The changing role of Latin in the curriculum is traced through a historical account showing the factors which caused a decline in the status and popularity of the subject from the beginning of the century to the 1970s. This decline, not confined to Australia, stimulated the introduction of new teaching methods with different emphases which were, to some extent, successful in preserving Latin from extinction in schools. Against this background of change, Virgil remained the Latin author most frequently studied in the final year of school. Because this poetry was so consistently prescribed for public examinations, a detailed investigation is made of the questions set and of the examiners� comments on candidates� performance, as evidence of changes in expectations and hence, in teaching methods. The influence of trends in Virgilian scholarship is assessed by means of a review of all the officially recommended commentaries and secondary works. The growth of literary criticism from the 1960s is shown to have had a marked effect on syllabuses and examinations, and consequently on the approach taken in the classroom. The role of local professional organizations in supporting the teaching of Virgil has been documented, showing how the disappearance of official support for Latin teaching was to some extent counterbalanced by an increase in voluntary effort. The resources and methods used to introduce Virgil to comparative beginners are classified and reviewed. An assessment is also offered of approaches made to teaching Virgil in English at both junior and senior secondary levels. The final chapter reviews the changes brought about since 2000. Current teaching practices are documented through classroom observations and teacher surveys, substantiating the impression that while most students at the beginning of the twenty-first century are less prepared than their predecessors to translate Virgil independently, they are expected to attempt a far more sophisticated analysis of the literary features Note: For appendix 3-10 please see hardcopy edition.

Full textAbstract:
The dissertation is an analysis of the history, current state, and possible future directions of the development of language policy in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Although language planning in the republics of the former Soviet Union has been a major subject of debate on government nation building agendas over the last two decades, the situation and implementation of language policies significantly differ in Kazakhstan due to the conditions of multilingualism and diglossia, in addition to other geographic and historical factors that resulted in the extended penetration of the Russian language during the Soviet era (Isayev, 1977:20). In the first chapter of the study, I trace the history of language legislation and political practices throughout the period of Russian-Kazakh diglossia (Fishman, 1967), a language situation in which the use of two unrelated languages (Kazakh and Russian) performed as high and low varieties at different levels prestige, and provide an analysis of important aspects of implementing legislative decisions and practices aimed at the development and promotion of the Kazakh language. The second and third chapters of this study are devoted to legislative documents and practices aimed at the modernization of Kazakh, especially with regards to the proposed switch from a Cyrillic to a Latin orthography, and amendments to the trinity of the Kazakh, Russian and English language status policies. This study of "language modernization" (switching from Cyrillic to Latin) is an attempt to define linguistic, literary, and social conditions and challenges, especially in the remote areas. The analysis of the modernization is based on the results of an extensive review of 1) official documents related to language policies; 2) on-line/magazine/newspaper and scholarly articles on Kazakh history, culture, language, education, and politics; 3) interviews with the officials of the educational departments, schools and language specialists.

Hur påverkar detta kulturinnehållet i läromedlen? Vilken bild av de spanskspråkiga ländernas människor och kulturer kan eleverna tänkas få med sig efter att ha studerat spanska på gymnasienivå? Finns målspråksländernas kulturella mångfald representerad i läroböckerna i enlighet med ett demokratiskt förhållningssätt? Detta är några av de frågor jag söker svaren på i denna undersökning.<br>The aim of this essay is to explore the way Spanish-speaking cultures and peoples are presented in Upper Secondary language textbooks of Spanish. The study is carried out in the context of globalization and its effects on culture, identity and language teaching. Postcolonial theory and a constructivist perspective on culture provide the framework for the textual analysis which is divided into two main parts. The first part is a statistical overview of the geographical areas/countries of the Spanish-speaking world that are presented in the textbooks. The second part seeks to establish who, i.e. what type of individual, is representing the Spanish-speaking peoples in the texts. The concluding discussion revolves around whether the textbooks reflect a progressive multicultural approach, or if the colonial heritage of ethnocentrism still lingers in the view of culture conveyed.

Full textAbstract:
El campo de la investigación en didáctica de las lenguas clásicas es un ámbito poco innovador en la actualidad debido a su escasa presencia en los programas académicos de la educación post-obligatoria y superior. Partiendo de esta premisa, en la presente investigación se formulan cuáles son las metodologías de preferencia entre los profesores de lengua latina en la etapa de educación secundaria, en concreto durante los cursos de bachillerato, para comprobar si ello repercute en la motivación del alumnado y si esta motivación se refleja en los resultados obtenidos en la selectividad. Para llevar a cabo la investigación y realizar un análisis descriptivo de la situación actual, se ha examinado, en primer lugar, la realidad de la didáctica de la lengua latina desde la propia antigüedad clásica a fin de establecer el marco teórico apropiado desde el que enfocar los movimientos pedagógicos que se han ido sucediendo a lo largo de los siglos; en segundo lugar, se ha llevado a cabo el análisis y estudio comparativo de las metodológicas didácticas actuales desde una doble perspectiva. Las técnicas de recogida de datos han sido la entrevista, por un lado, a profesores expertos en el ámbito de la enseñanza de lenguas clásicas que, habiendo aplicado metodologías diversas en diferentes etapas de su actividad laboral como docentes, defienden en la actualidad los métodos activos y/o monolingües, y, por otro lado, el cuestionario a 186 profesores de secundaria y 627 alumnos, si bien se ha focalizado en el pensamiento del profesor y su sistema de creencias con respecto al aprendizaje de la antigua lengua del Lacio.
Sentadas las bases metodológicas, el objetivo general de la investigación se divide en cuatro objetivos específicos: a) indagar si el método y los materiales que emplea el profesor influyen en la motivación del alumnado; b) contrastar si los materiales que emplea el profesor son acordes con la metodología utilizada; c) examinar los resultados académicos que obtienen los alumnos dependiendo del método y los materiales empleados, y d) describir la percepción que tiene el profesorado con respecto a su actuación docente.
Los resultados obtenidos en relación a los métodos empleados en clase para la enseñanza de la lengua latina ponen de manifiesto lo siguiente: por un lado, el 47% de la muestra emplea el método deductivo o de ‘gramática-traducción’ asentado desde el siglo XIX; por otro lado, el 8% de los profesores emplea una metodología inductivo- contextual, representada en nuestro país por el método monolingüe de H. Ørberg (1956) ideado para autodidactas que desean adquirir una elevada competencia lectora en latín, según los estudios previos realizados por H. Rouse (1919). Una de las conclusiones de la investigación es que el profesorado manifiesta ciertas ventajas e inconvenientes en ambas elecciones metodológicas y en consecuencia, atendiendo a su propia formación en lengua latina y a su satisfacción o frustración con el método hasta el momento empleado, se decanta por una u otra vía. Esto se refleja en el 45% de los docentes que afirman emplear un método mixto en sus clases (es decir, métodos activos con predominio de la lengua vernácula como lengua vehicular), con el objetivo de intentar suplir las posibles carencias en su formación o de solventar otros obstáculos, localizados en el curso de la investigación.
Las conclusiones finales sugieren abrir nuevas líneas de investigación basadas en el sistema de creencias del profesorado, una aportación que, junto con los resultados expuestos, puede servir de punto de partida y aplicación para la formación de futuros profesores de lenguas clásicas.<br>The field of teaching classical languages is an area little studied today. The overall objective of this research involves the evaluation and comparison of the methods used during High School to determine whether the method used affects the motivation of students and, in the same way, if this motivation is reflected in the results. To answer these questions, and a descriptive analysis of the current situation, qualitative research techniques were used: questionnaires and interviews. The reflections, with which this work has provided us, include the posing and provision of guidance for future teachers of Latin language based on the problems that arose during the data collection process, and manifests the need to open new avenues of research in the field the teaching classical languages.

Full textAbstract:
The achievement gap between White students and students of color has long been a concern of educators. It is well established that critical pedagogy and culturally relevant teaching practices increase the possibility of academic achievement for ethnic minority students; yet, throughout the U.S., the implementation of such practices has been less than optimal. It is also clear that some teachers are doing an excellent job of teaching students of color. However, it is not clear what those teachers are doing and what their practices look like, particularly in secondary classrooms and for Latina/o students—the fastest growing ethnic minority population in the U.S. Are successful teachers of Latina/o youth engaging in critical pedagogy or culturally relevant teaching practices? Have they developed caring, empathetic relationships with students that result in greater engagement and academic success? Using a multifaceted theoretical framework of critical social theory, seen specifically through the lenses of culturally relevant pedagogy,
empathy and false empathy, critical studies in Whiteness, and critical race theory, this ethnographic multiple-case study aimed to answer those questions. By observing and interviewing educators whom principals, teachers, and parents all nominated as “successful” for the Latina and Latino students in a particular school, and identifying the teaching strategies and classroom management routines they employed, I hoped to illuminate key practices and underlying attitudes that other teachers can emulate as they strive to reach and teach Latina/o students.

Previous issue date: 2014-07-29<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>This research is part of the "Observatory of Arts Teacher Education: comparative studies between Brazil and Argentina" and was developed in the line of research Teaching of Visual Arts (PPGAV / UDESC), on the subject of initial teacher training in arts, which usually precedes the work as teachers. The object of this research is the proposed curriculum of graduate s courses. We intend to identify how the contents on Latin America are included in the initial training of teachers in terms of curriculum matrices. We develop a case study that includes two neighboring realities: the Brazilian and Argentine, and results in a comparative study that parts from the question: "How content on Latin America are included in the undergraduate curriculum of visual arts in Brazil and Argentina?". The courses were analyzed are the three Brazilian state universities: the University of the State of Santa Catarina (UDESC), University of São Paulo (USP) and the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), and two Argentine federal universities: the National Institute of Arts (IUNA) and the National University of La Plata (UNLP), in order to deepen our reflections on a Brazilian and an Argentine reality, respectively, USP and UNLP. The selection of the five courses refers to universities whose teachers participate in the Observatory. Two hypotheses follow the first steps of this research: the first is that the content related to Latin American context rather appear in the curriculum of undergraduate education in visual arts, and when this occurs is through curriculum adaptations, since they were not planned to meet this demand; the latter is that the Argentine reality inserting content about Latin America is higher than in the Brazilian reality. Among the results, we emphasize that authors and Latin American artists permeate the initial training of arts
teachers in both countries, but in both cases, insertion of such content constitutes a small portion of the curriculum.<br>A presente investigação é parte integrante do Observatório da Formação de Professores de Artes: estudos comparados entre Brasil e Argentina e foi desenvolvida na linha de pesquisa Ensino das Artes Visuais do PPGAV/UDESC, tendo como tema a formação inicial de professores de artes, a qual antecede, a princípio, a atuação destes sujeitos como educadores. O objeto de estudo desta pesquisa é a proposta curricular dos cursos de licenciatura. Objetivamos, aqui, identificar de que maneira os conteúdos sobre a América Latina estão inseridos na formação inicial dos professores no tocante às matrizes curriculares. Desenvolvemos um estudo de caso que engloba duas realidades vizinhas: a brasileira e a argentina, e resulta num estudo comparado que parte da seguinte questão: Como os conteúdos sobre a América Latina estão inseridos no currículo das licenciaturas em artes visuais no Brasil e na Argentina? . Os cursos analisados correspondem a três universidades estaduais brasileiras: a Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC), a Universidade de São Paulo (USP) e a Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), e duas instituições federais argentinas: o Instituto Nacional de Artes (IUNA) e a Universidade Nacional de La Plata (UNLP), de modo a aprofundarmos nossas reflexões sobre uma realidade brasileira e uma argentina, respectivamente, a USP e a UNLP. A seleção dos cinco cursos refere-se às universidades cujos professores participam do Observatório. Duas hipóteses acompanham os primeiros passos dessa investigação: a primeira é que os conteúdos referentes ao contexto latino-americano pouco aparecem nos currículos das licenciaturas em artes visuais e, quando isto ocorre, é por meio de adaptações curriculares, uma vez que eles não foram planejados para atender a essa demanda; a última é que, na realidade argentina, a inserção de conteúdos sobre a América
Latina seja maior do que na realidade brasileira. Dentre os resultados obtidos, destacamos que autores e artistas latino-americanos permeiam a formação inicial dos professores de artes dos dois países, mas, em ambos os casos, tal inserção de conteúdos constitui uma pequena parcela do currículo.

Abstract
Many young adult Haitian immigrant students (YAHIS) move to the United States
hoping to achieve better lives. This growing population faces many challenges when
acculturating to a new country and educational system. Some obstacles include
inadequate family and social support, language barriers, limited education, distinct
cultural values, a lack of academic materials, a shortage of Haitian teachers, and
inadequate educational programs. These psychosocial factors often prevent Haitian
immigrants from succeeding in U.S. schools. This study explored YAHIS' experiences of
acculturation and education as they relate to these psychosocial factors. Qualitative
phenomenological techniques, guided by Adlerian theory, revealed the assumptions,
meanings, and feelings of the study participants via in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 10 YAHIS. Key findings included the identification of common themes regarding critical factors for academic success: (a) family support; (b) role of culture; (c) educational opportunities; (d) challenges of acculturation; (e) questioning of self-identify; and (f) personal attitude. These findings may inform schools, universities, and professionals who seek to assist YAHIS acculturate and succeed in the U.S. educational system. The study findings may facilitate positive social change by enabling scholars, school psychologists, educators, and family members to help YAHIS integrate into U.S. society, succeed in education, and contribute to their communities. Specifically, results suggest that administrators must provide increased transparency regarding access to education in the United States and additional information about the registration process to ensure YAHIS acculturate and have all necessary support to succeed in higher education.

Colborn, Robert Maurice. "Manilius on the nature of the Universe : a study of the natural-philosophical teaching of the Astronomica." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2015. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:481db8c5-4a3b-42ff-b301-eafc3e2f9ad8.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis has two aims. The first is to show that a more charitable approach to Manilius, such as Lucretian scholarship has exhibited in recent decades, yields a wealth of exciting discoveries that earlier scholarship has not thought to look for. The thesis' contributions to this project centre on three aspects of the poem: (I) the sophistication of its didactic techniques, which draw and build on various predecessors in the tradition of didactic poetry; (II) its cosmological, physical and theological basis, which has no exact parallel elsewhere in either astrology or natural philosophy, and despite clear debts to various traditions, is demonstrably the invention of our poet; (III) the extent to which rationales and physical bases are offered for points of astrological theory – something unparalleled in other astrological texts until Ptolemy. The second, related aim of the thesis is to offer a more satisfying interpretation of the poem as a whole than those that have hitherto been put forward. Again the cue comes from Lucretius: though the DRN is at first sight primarily an exposition of Epicurean physics, it becomes clear that its principal concern is ethical, steering its reader away from superstition, the fear of death and other damaging thought-patterns. Likewise, the Astronomica makes the best sense when its principal message is taken to be not the set of astrological statements that make up its bulk, but the poem’s peculiar world- view, for which those statements serve as an evidential basis. It is, on this reading, just as much a poem ‘on the nature of the universe', which provides the title of my thesis. At the same time, however, it finds new truth in the conventional assumption that Manilius is first and foremost an advocate of astrology: it reveals his efforts to defend astrology at all costs, uncovers strategies for making the reader more amenable to further astrological study and practice, and contends that someone with Manilius' set of beliefs must first have been a devotee of astrology before embracing a natural- philosophical perspective such as his. The thesis is divided into prolegomena and commentaries, which pursue the aims presented above in two different but complementary ways. The prolegomena comprise five chapters, outlined below: Chapter 1 presents a comprehensive survey of the evidence for the cosmology, physics and theology of the Astronomica, and discovers that a coherent and carefully thought-out world-view underlies the poem. It suggests that this Stoicising world- view is drawn exclusively from a few philosophical works of Cicero, but is nonetheless the product of careful synthesis. Chapter 2 explores the relationship between this world-view and earlier Academic criticism of astrology and concludes that the former has been developed as a direct response to these criticisms, specifically as set out in Cicero’s De divinatione. Chapter 3 examines the later impact of Manilius’ astrological world-view, as far as it can be detected, assessing the evidence for the early reception of his poem and its role in the history of philosophical astrology. The overwhelming impression is that the work was received as a serious contribution to debate over the physical and theological underpinnings of astrology; its world-view was absorbed into the mainstream of astrological theory and directly targeted in the next wave of Academic criticism of astrology. Chapter 4 looks at the more subtle strategies of persuasion that are at work in the Astronomica. It observes, first, a number of structural devices and word- patternings that set up the poem as a model of the universe it describes. This first part of the chapter concludes by asking what didactic and/or philosophical purpose such modelling could serve. The second part examines how, by a gradual process of habituation-through-metaphor, the reader is made familiar with the conventional astrological way of thinking about the world, which might otherwise have struck him as a baffling mass of contradictions. The third part looks at the use of certain rhetorical figures, particularly paradox, to re-emphasise important physical claims and assist the process of habituation. Chapter 5 takes on the task of making sense of the Astronomica as a whole, seeking out an underlying rationale behind the choice and ordering of material, accounting as well as is possible for its apparently premature end, and asking why, if it is a serious piece of natural-philosophical teaching, it so often appears to be self- undermining. A short epilogue asks what path can have led Manilius to embark on such a work as the Astronomica. It offers a sketch of the author as an adherent (but not a practitioner) of astrology, who had developed a philosophical system first as scaffolding for an art under threat, but had then come to see more importance in that philosophical underpinning than in the activities of prediction. The lemmatised commentaries that follow cover several passages from the first book of the Astronomica. As crucial as the remaining four books are to his natural-philosophical teaching, it is in this part of the poem that Manilius concentrates the direct expositions of his world-view. Like the chapters, the commentaries' two concerns are the nature and the exposition of the work's world-view. Each of the commentaries has its own focus, but all make full use of the format to tease out the poet's teaching strategies and watch his techniques operate 'in real time' over protracted stretches of text. Finally, an appendix presents the case for the Astronomica as the earliest evidence for the use of plane-image star maps. At two points in his tour of the night sky Manilius describes the positions of constellations in a way that suggests that he is consulting a stereographic projection of each hemisphere, and that he is assuming his reader has one to hand, too. This observation casts valuable new light on the development of celestial cartography.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explored a regional comparison of education in post-revolutionary Mexico. It involved a micro-look into the relationship between violence, education, religion, and politics in the states of Durango and Jalisco. Research methods included primary sources and microfilms from the National Archives State Department records related to education from the internal affairs of Mexico from 1930-1939 from collection file M1370. It also utilized G-2 United States Military Intelligence reports as well as records from the British National Archives dealing with church and state relations in Mexico from 1920-1939.
Anti - clericalism in the 1920’s led to violent backlash in rural regions of Durango and Jalisco called the Cristero rebellion. A second phase of the Cristero rebellion began in the 1930s, which was aimed at ending state-led revolutionary secular education and preserving the folk Catholic education system. There existed a unique ritualized culture of violence for both states. Violence against state-led revolutionary secular educators was prevalent at the primary and secondary education levels in Durango and Jalisco. Priests served as both religious leaders and rebel activists.
At the higher education level there existed a split of the University of Guadalajara but no violence against educators. There existed four competing factions involved in this intellectual battle: communists followed Marx, anarchistic autonomous communists, urban folk modern Catholics, and student groups who sought reunion of the original university.
This thesis described how these two states and how they experienced their unique culture of violence during the 1930s. It suggested a new chronology of the Cristero rebellion. This comparison between two regions within the broader context of the country and its experiences during the 1930s allowed for analysis in regards to education, rebellion, religion, and politics.

Full textAbstract:
The present study presents an empirical analysis of the relevance of psychologists’ historical education within the framework of Latin American psychology. The ‘chronic doubt’ about the formative aim of historiography is first characterized. The ways in which such historiography is a central input in Latin American and Argentinian psychologists’ training and education is then described. The results of a descriptive, mixed socio-bibliometric analysis of the literature used as readings (n = 798) in undergraduate historical courses at Argentinian psychology programs are presented. Findings indicate a marked predominance of texts and scholarship by Argentinian authors, a marked scarcity of Latin American authors and themes, and a problematic depiction of psychology’s historical pluralism. We conclude on the implications of such results for a critical history in the Latin American psychologists’ education, and on the need to contextualize local history in regional history of science.<br>El presente estudio constituye un análisis empírico de la relevancia de la educación histórica de los psicólogos en el marco de la psicología latinoamericana.

Luego se exponen los resultados de un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo descriptivo, de tipo socio-bibliométrico, sobre la literatura utilizada como bibliografía (n=798) en asignaturas históricas de carreras de psicología en Argentina. Los resultados indican un predominio marcado de literatura de autores argentinos, una escasez marcada de autores latinoamericanos y una representación en ocasiones problemática del pluralismo histórico de la disciplina. Se concluye sobre las implicaciones de tales resultados para una historia crítica en la formación de psicólogos latinoamericanos y sobre la necesidad de contextualizar la historia local en la historia regional de la ciencia.<br>La présente étude constitue une analyse empirique de la pertinence de l’éducation historique des psychologues dans le contexte de la psychologie latino-américaine. Le “doute chronique” sur le sens formatif de l’historiographie est caractérisé, en décrivant les manières dont cette historiographie représente un apport central dans la formation des psychologues latinoaméricains et argentins. Les résultats d’une analyse descriptive quantitative et qualitative, de type socio-bibliométrique, sur la littérature utilisée comme bibliographie (n = 798) dans le contenu des cours historiques de carrières en psychologie en Argentine sont présentés. Les résultats indiquent une prédominance marquée de la littérature écrite par des auteurs argentins, une pénurie marquée d’auteurs latino-américains et une représentation parfois problématique du pluralisme historique de la discipline.

Full textAbstract:
This study was conducted to examine the problem of attrition from a public middle school foreign language enrichment program by students who were admitted on the basis of superior grades, test scores, and recommendations from their teachers, counselors, and parents. The study took place in inner-city San Antonio and involves Latino sixth and seventh graders from mostly low-income families. Literature pertaining to school choice options, education of Latino students, and student attrition was reviewed. Research questions pertained to the differences in characteristics of students staying in the program and leaving it and in the reasons students gave for their decisions to stay or leave. In addition, the efficacy of an existing student attrition model, modified for this study, was tested for organizing data. Data sources included surveys of students and teachers, interviews with administrators and counselors, and school records. Logit regression analysis revealed two factors linked to student persistence in the program to be significant to the .01 level: student involvement in the initial decision to apply to the program, and the presence of a student's best friend at the school the student attended. A third variable approached significance (at the . 10 level): the student's score on the math subtest of a criterion-referenced test given statewide. Recommendations to the district program administrators include incorporating the math subtest score on the statewide instrument into the screening process and providing more and better information to parents and students who are eligible and wish to apply for acceptance into the program.

Previous issue date: 2008-04-14<br>The focus of this research is the teaching of the Latin language. Due to the fact that its teaching has been facing a growing crisis in the last four decades, which currently persists, we ponder about external and internal causes of its decline, aiming at pointing out an alternative that enable us to find a way out of this situation. So, our research questions mainly concern how the teaching of Latin is viewed amongst the academic society, also investigating if it has kept up with the development of the scientific reflection about human language and the new approaches on language teaching. Furthermore, we analyse the contribution that the study of Latin can provide to the academic formation of language teachers and try to identify the areas of knowledge that can contribute to a reshaping of its teaching. Based on these guidelines, we have established as the goals of this research: 1) to reflect about the current situation of the teaching of Latin and the causes of its decline; 2) to determine its social representation among teachers and students of the Language Courses, as a way of defining the role it fulfills in the academic formation of teachers; 3) to accomplish an exploratory study of some handbooks that show alternative proposals on how to teach Latin, in order to detect their adequacy to current times and to the goals of the academic study of languages; 4) to offer an alternative proposal on how to teach Latin that takes into account the principles of Applied Linguistics, considering the socio-historical and cultural aspects of the language, enabling it to meet the requirements set by modern times. This research is divided into two parts. The first part presents the theoretical framework. We map the studies about Latin teaching inside and outside Brazil and argue against the concept of Latin being a dead language, presenting arguments set on changing this view. Then we describe and comment the notions of literacy, genre and culture, which helped us understand the reasons for the decline of the teaching of Latin and to point out suitable ways to overcome the crisis. The second part is dedicated to reflecting on the literacy practices in Latin teaching. We began by examining the answers to the questionnaires given to students and teachers about the view of Latin in the Language Courses; then we reflect on the teaching-learning of Latin as an academic literacy practice followed by an analysis of the didactic material used in teaching Latin. Finally, we suggest an approach of the familiar letter genre in ancient Rome as a means of teaching Latin in a contextualized way<br>O foco deste trabalho ? o ensino da l?ngua latina. Partindo da constata??o de que esse ensino vem enfrentando, desde as ?ltimas quatro d?cadas, uma situa??o crescente de crise, que perdura nos dias atuais, refletimos sobre as causas externas e internas do seu decl?nio, com o objetivo de apontar alguma alternativa para a sa?da da crise em que se encontra. Assim, nossas quest?es de pesquisa se preocupam, antes de mais nada, em verificar como o ensino do latim ? visto no meio acad?mico, investigando ainda se este ensino tem acompanhado os progressos da reflex?o cient?fica sobre o fen?meno da linguagem humana e sobre as novas abordagens do ensino de l?nguas. Al?m disso, discutimos acerca da contribui??o que o estudo do latim pode oferecer para a forma??o acad?mica em Letras e procuramos identificar os campos do saber que podem contribuir para um redimensionamento do seu ensino. Em raz?o dessas quest?es, estabelecemos como objetivos do trabalho 1) Refletir sobre a situa??o atual do ensino do latim e sobre as causas do seu decl?nio; 2) Identificar sua representa??o social no meio acad?mico discente e docente do Curso de Letras, como forma de contribuir para a defini??o do papel que lhe cabe na forma??o docente; 3) Fazer um estudo explorat?rio de alguns comp?ndios que apresentam propostas alternativas de didatiza??o do latim, com o intento de verificar sua adequa??o ? nossa realidade e aos objetivos da forma??o em Letras; 4) Apresentar uma proposta alternativa de ensino do latim que leve em conta as contribui??es da Ling??stica Aplicada e que, contemplando os aspectos s?cio-hist?ricos e culturais da l?ngua, seja capaz de atender as exig?ncias da modernidade e da sua inser??o no curr?culo de Letras. O trabalho est? dividido em duas partes. A primeira constitui o quadro te?rico. Nela procedemos a um mapeamento introdut?rio dos estudos sobre o ensino do latim no Brasil, com uma breve incurs?o no panorama europeu e norte americano. Em seguida, tecemos considera??es sobre a concep??o do latim como l?ngua morta, apresentando argumentos para uma revis?o desta met?fora. Finalizamos com a apresenta??o dos conceitos de letramento, g?nero e cultura, que fundamentam teoricamente a nossa proposta de abordagem do ensino do latim. A segunda parte ? destinada ? reflex?o sobre as pr?ticas de letramento no ensino do latim. Come?amos examinando as respostas aos question?rios aplicados a alunos e professores, com o intuito de detectar as representa??es acerca do latim no meio acad?mico de Letras, refletimos sobre o ensino-aprendizagem do latim como uma pr?tica de letramento acad?mico, detendo-nos a seguir na an?lise de materiais utilizados para a didatiza??o do latim. Por fim, sugerimos uma abordagem do g?nero carta familiar em Roma como instrumento de ensino do latim de uma forma contextualizada

Previous issue date: 2017-02-17<br>Não recebi financiamento<br>Considering the process of the internationalization of higher education and its regionalization beyond borders, this study had the objective of analyzing the structure of the Tuning Project in Latin America (a significant pillar derived from the European Tuning initiative, according to the principles of the Bologna Process and the European Higher Education Area), as well as learning professors‘ level of knowledge regarding adoption of the Project in the field of Education in the Brazilian context. Therefore, through a contextualized perspective regarding the knowledge of the School of Education faculty concerning the actuality of this Project in the sphere of Unicamp (The University of Campinas) – since adoption of the Project is not characterized as a State policy, but as institutional affiliation –, the progression of this research study was structured methodologically from Ball‘s Policy Cycle Approach and through qualitative research. Regarding Ball‘s Policy Cycle, three contexts were considered for the repetition of the objective: influence, production of the text and practice. The context of influence is guided by the parameters of specific political policy, the constraints and the conditions that influenced the definition, the purposes and their significance; also, in this case interest groups are identified (national and/or international). The framework of text production is based on the texts that result from the first context, among disputes, agreements, special thematic areas, time, location, the group toward which it is directed and finally the practical context – at this stage the drafted policy, with the text that explains its areas, is subject to interpretation, where it is possible to perceive its effects and consequences. From the qualitative angle, in light of content analysis considering data, a total of 17 questionnaires, which were returned, were considered from the total of 96 questionnaires that were forwarded to the School of Education professors, regarding their knowledge between adoption and/or interruption regarding the status of Unicamp in relationship to the Alfa Tuning Latin America Project. The majority of questionnaires, which were returned, demonstrated evidence that broad disclosure did not exist, so that the faculty were unable to hold a position regarding the decision of the institution in relation to adoption of the Project, or to its corresponding interruption; therefore, the majority of the faculty reported not being aware of the Project, nor knowledge of Unicamp‘s School of Education regarding adoption and/or interruption, at the same time a portion of the faculty reported partial knowledge of the Project. We understand that in the trilogy of autonomy the University must develop, the pillars over the administration, the financial area, and the pedagogical area should be analyzed and become object of intense communication through all channels, guaranteeing the main basis of democratic management.<br>Dado o processo de internacionalização da educação superior e sua regionalização além-fronteiras, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar a estruturação do Projeto Tuning na América Latina (um significativo eixo derivado do Tuning Europeu, conforme as premissas do Processo de Bolonha para a Educação Superior da Comunidade Europeia), assim como saber o nível de conhecimento dos professores sobre a adesão ao Projeto na área temática Educação no cenário brasileiro. Portanto, por meio de um olhar contextualizado sobre o conhecimento dos docentes da Faculdade de Educação a respeito da atualidade desse Projeto no âmbito da Unicamp – uma vez que a adesão a ele não se caracteriza como uma política de Estado, mas como adesão institucional –, o desenvolvimento deste estudo foi estruturado metodologicamente a partir da Abordagem do Ciclo de Políticas de Ball e por meio de pesquisa qualitativa. A respeito do Ciclo de Políticas de Ball, consideraram-se três contextos para a recorrência do objeto: influência, produção do texto e prática. O contexto da influência se pauta sobre o parâmetro da agenda de determinada política, os condicionantes e os condicionadores que influenciaram a definição, as finalidades e seus significados; nesse caso também se identificam grupos de interesse (nacionais e/ou internacionais). O contexto da produção do texto se baseia nos textos resultantes do primeiro contexto, entre disputas, acordos, temáticas privilegiadas, tempo, local, grupo para o qual se destina e finalmente o contexto da prática – neste ponto a política elaborada, cujo texto explicita seus eixos, está sujeita à interpretação, onde é possível perceber seus efeitos e consequências. Sob o enfoque qualitativo, à luz da análise de conteúdo no tratamento dos dados, foram considerados 17 questionários, objeto de devolutivas, de um total de 96 encaminhados a professores da Faculdade de Educação, sobre seu conhecimento entre adesão e/ou ruptura quanto ao status da Unicamp em relação ao Projeto Alfa Tuning América Latina. As devolutivas evidenciaram que, em sua predominância, não houve ampla divulgação a ponto dos docentes se posicionarem sobre a decisão da instituição quanto à adesão e, ainda, à correspondente ruptura; portanto, a maioria dos docentes relatou não conhecer o Projeto, bem como a adesão e/ou ruptura da Faculdade de Educação da Unicamp, ao mesmo tempo que uma parcela relatou ter conhecimento parcial. Entendemos que, na trilogia da autonomia que a universidade deve desenvolver, os pilares sobre a administração, o financeiro e o pedagógico devem ser problematizados e objeto de intensa comunicação por meio de todos os canais, garantindo-se o fundamento central da gestão democrática.

Il s’agit de déterminer si différents constats posés initialement relatifs à l’évolution de la société et du monde scolaire sont les épiphénomènes d’une tendance générale ou s’ils sont simplement issus d’une synchronie fortuite. De l’analyse de ces constats émergent des problématiques qui se cristallisent autour de concepts. D’une part, on identifie la perception de la citoyenneté, de l’autre, le développement d’un projet d’autonomie intellectuelle, assorti d’une conscientisation des apprentissages. Nous traitons d’abord les questions relatives à la citoyenneté dans le cursus scolaire avant d’approfondir les questions concernant la didactique, adoptant l’hypothèse que les liens entre ces constats participent d’une même dynamique mais s’actualisent à des degrés divers. Ainsi, la recherche débute par les différentes situations pédagogiques dans lesquelles les apprenants sont confrontés à la citoyenneté durant leur cursus officiel dans certains pays ou communautés représentatives. Le second chapitre présente l’analyse profonde et minutieuse des dynamiques sociétales sous-jacentes aux écueils mentionnés pour se focaliser ensuite sur le contexte scolaire.

Este estudo se coloca no âmbito da história das disciplinas onde investigo o lugar de inclusão e exclusão dos conteúdos sobre a história da América Latina, nas disciplinas de História nos programas curriculares do Colégio de Aplicação da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Brasil, e da Escola Superior do Comércio Manuel Belgrano da Universidade Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina. Tal estudo se localiza no contexto da política educacional dos governos militares do Brasil (1964-1984) e da Argentina (1976-1983) quando estavam em vigor a Aliança para o Progresso, a Doutrina da Segurança Nacional e a remodelação da educação proposta pela United States Agency for International Development (USAID), três políticas que explicitaram a intervenção norte-americana na América Latina. Para proceder esta análise seleciono leis brasileiras e argentinas criadas para regular nesses países a educação e o ensino, bem como os Programas Curriculares que, na época, estavam em vigor nas duas escolas. Enfoco também o lugar destinado ao ensino dos conteúdos sobre a História européia e as Histórias nacionais, do Brasil e da Argentina. Objetivo perceber a inclusão e a exclusão desses conteúdos nos programas curriculares e analisar até que ponto esse movimento de exclusão/inclusão evidenciariam um projeto de construção de uma identidade latinoamericana na política educacional dos governos militares. Para tal análise apresento uma proposta metodológica de trabalho com a História Comparada, de acordo com Marc Bloch, contrapondo em “meios sociais diferentes” fenômenos que apresentam “certas analogias”, porém também são marcados pelas especificidades.<br>This study covers the history of school courses. I investigate the inclusion and exclusion spots of contents on Latin America History in History courses presented in the course programs of Colégio de Aplicação at Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Brazil, and at Manuel Belgrano Business College at National University of Córdoba, Argentina. Such study is contextualized with the educational policy imposed by the military government in Brazil (1964-1984) and in Argentina (1976-1983) when it was in force the Alliance for the Progress, the National Security Doctrine and the education recast proposed by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) - three policies that indicated a North American intervention in Latin America. To carry this analysis, I selected Brazilian and Argentinean laws created to regulate the education and the teaching in theses countries, as well as the course programs that were, at the time, in use in both schools. I also focus on the place for the European History and for the National History contents. The objective is to find the inclusion and exclusion spots in the Programs and analyze how such inclusion/exclusion movement would be made clear as a project to build a Latin-American identity through the military government’s educational policies. For such analysis I present, according to Marc Bloch, a methodological working proposal on Compared History opposing in "different social environments" some phenomena that present "certain analogies", although they are also marked by specificities.

Full textAbstract:
<p> Latino English learners (ELs), among the largest student population in the United States K-12 school system, continue to lag behind their English-proficient peers. They also tend to attend segregated schools, have less-qualified teachers, and lack access to rigorous curriculum, including the arts. Museum education departments have increasingly sought to fill the gap in arts education for underserved populations. This mixed methods study explored the degree to which teaching artists (TAs) from a large metropolitan museum are effectively addressing the art education needs of Latino ELs. The dissertation study occured in two phases. Phase 1 included quantitative analysis of observations of the TAs using the numeric components and ancedotal evidence of the Observation Protocol for Academic Literacies. Phase 2 consisted of semi-structured interviews with the participants. Findings of the study indicate that while TAs can improve instruction in terms of providing materials of students’ native langauge and providing opportunities to transfer skills between their primary and the target language, they nevertheless use numerous strategies for effective English language instruction. This can inform museum education departments on effective teaching practices of ELs, an area of study that has almost no scholarship.</p><p>

Full textAbstract:
<p> Previous studies on nonnative English speaker teachers (NNESTs) (Reyes & Medgyes, 1994; Samimy & Brutt-Griffler, 1999; Llurda, 2008; Rajagopalan, 2005) and publications in World Englishes (WEs), English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and English as an international language (EIL), have analyzed and documented how prevailing ideologies rooted in "the myth of the native speaker" (Pennycook, 1994; Canagarajah, 1999; Kramsch, 2000), "the native speaker fallacy" (Phillipson, 1992) and associated ideologies generate discrimination and affect students and teachers' sense of self-worth. </p><p> By making use of telecollaboration to determine how L1 Spanish speaking Colombian EFL pre-service teachers' interactions with U.S. heritage Spanish speakers (HSSs) influence the Colombian future teachers' self-perceptions as (non) native speakers and future teachers, this study responds to scholars' concerns to diversify the scope of explorations on NNESTs. Examining the ideological side of the native vs. non-native speaker dichotomy in telecollaboration, this research seeks to reverse the tendency to study interactants' exchanges mainly as a language feedback process through which "native speakers" support those who are not native speakers. </p><p> Under an overarching qualitative phenomenological case study research design, the first article's pre-assessment of participants' self-perceptions of (non) nativeness found that the myth of the native speaker, the native speaker fallacy and associated ideologies permeated participants' self-images as language speakers and prospective teachers. Nevertheless, their ongoing education and the perceived benefits of becoming skillful language users contrasted with the harmful effects of these ideologies. </p><p> The second study determined that in adopting meaning making abilities as their center of interest in telecollaboration, most participants focused less on the achievement of idealized native speaker abilities. Their interaction with U.S. peers generated confidence in their use of English, self-criticism of their skills in Spanish and a tendency to embrace the idea that they could succeed as English teachers. The third article suggests that the cooperative relationships that participants established with U.S. peers provided them affective and knowledge-based resources to build more favorable views of themselves, attitudes to confront the detrimental effects of nativespeakership ideologies, and informed judgments to dismantle them.</p>

Full textAbstract:
L'objet de cette étude vise à comprendre le processus de décentralisation de l’éducation musicale au Chili tel qu'il a été mené par le compositeur et chef d’orchestre Jorge Peña Hen, de 1950 à 1973. Ce musicien, engagé socialement, a fondé et développé de manière riche et prolifique un nombre important d’institutions musicales au nord du pays, notamment en créant des orchestres symphoniques, des chœurs, un conservatoire et des écoles de musique expérimentales, organisant de nombreux concerts et activités culturelles, faisant naître enfin le premier orchestre d’enfants en Amérique latine. Son exemple sera repris sur tout le continent sud-américain, donnant naissance à un fort mouvement culturel dont l'ampleur s'étend jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine. C'est dans un tel contexte que Jorge Peña Hen mit en place un système direct de participation civile par le biais de la pratique musicale, ce qui va rompre avec les tendances musico-culturelles conçues jusqu'alors par et pour une élite chilienne étroitement liée aux politiques d’État. Il connut malheureusement une fin tragique en 1973 sous la dictature militaire chilienne du général Augusto Pinochet. Cependant, ses principes égalitaires et sa pédagogie novatrice ont inspiré de nombreux autres projets, du Venezuela jusqu’en France, comme le montre l’exemple de l’orchestre d’enfants de Grigny sur lequel nous conclurons cette étude afin de mieux comprendre les mécanismes et les enjeux de tels processus<br>This study aims to understand how the composer and conductor Jorge Peña Hen succeeded, from 1950 to 1973, in implementing a decentralisation process in the musical education in Chile. It shows an analysis of the Chilean musical Institution and the construction of Chile State from the middle of the twentieth century until now. Jorge Peña Hen, who was a socially committed musician, founded and developped a great number of musical institutions in the north of Chile, including symphonic orchestras, choirs, a conservatoire and experimental music schools. Within these premises, as well as in the whole country, he organised numerous concerts and cultural activities. This approach led him to create the first children orchestra in South America, an experiment which became a model duplicated all around the south of the American continent, giving birth to a strong cultural movement whose extent goes until these days. It is within this context that Jorge Peña Hen put in place a direct system of civilian participation through musical practice, which will break with the current cultural and musical tendancies conceived by and for a chilean elite closely related to State policies. He unfortunately knew a tragical end in 1973 under the military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. However, the egalitarian principles and innovative teaching method which guided his work inspired many other projects, from Venezuela to France, as shown by the children orchestra of Grigny for example, which will also be studied in this thesis in order to get a better understanding of the mechanisms and stakes of such process

Full textAbstract:
Teaching & Learning<br>M.S.Ed.<br>A lack of English proficiency in the Latino community living in America has great repercussions, especially in communication between family members and education or health care providers. Latin parents are left to rely on their children to act as translators when communicating with their teachers or school personnel. Furthermore, Latino parents often have a limited understanding of the U.S. school system, curriculum, and what they are entitled to as parents. Latin-American parents could benefit from learning specific education-related terms to better understand the education system. Stimulus equivalence is a behavioral technique that can be applied to language learning and target these specific terms. This study worked with Latin-American parents with a lack of English proficiency in education-related terms such as national education initiatives. Six education-related terms were selected and two participants were tested and trained for relations among the stimuli through match-to-sample procedures. Stimuli were presented in five different categories: name, acronym, picture, English definition, and Spanish definition, creating a total of twenty possible relations. Results showed the emergence of 9 and 11 relations, while only two to four were explicitly taught to the two participants. This adds to the literature on stimulus equivalence and demonstrates the effectiveness of using stimulus equivalence procedures to teach language to parents in the Latino community.<br>Temple University--Theses

Nadeau, Julie Wiggins. "Responses of Successful Latina Students to Academic Challenges of Prerequisite Nursing Courses." ScholarWorks, 2011. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/866.
Full textAbstract:
Nursing schools struggle to prepare enough nurses to meet the health care needs of a diverse and aging population in the United States. Many students do not complete their degrees, contributing to the problem. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore and describe how successful Latina students experience and respond to the academic challenges of prerequisite nursing courses. The nursing shortage; healthcare needs of Hispanic patients; student outcomes; self-efficacy, achievement goal orientation, and academic help-seeking; and Hispanic cultural values framed the study. Using semistructured private interviews, the researcher explored the lived experiences of 6 successful Latina students when they encountered challenges in prerequisite nursing courses. Seven superordinate themes emerged following interpretative phenomenological analysis of the data: (a) facing academic challenges, (b) recognizing emotional response, (c) seeking help, (d) transcending academic challenges, (e) owning knowledge, (f) persevering, and (g) living out values and beliefs. The hermeneutic approach allowed participants to describe the transition from avoiding to reaching out for help. Conclusions and recommendations include the need for faculty to recognize and respond to the importance of family, relationships, values, and beliefs to academic success in Latina students. Implications for social change include enhanced faculty ability to support the academic endeavors of this population. Improved graduation rates in Latina nursing students will help to address the nursing shortage and the need for a health care workforce that mirrors the population of the United States.

Full textAbstract:
<p> This qualitative dissertation study explores the various roles and practices that classroom teachers can enact in their work to increase the college going rates of working-class Latina/o youth. Utilizing Stanton-Salazar's (2011) <i> empowerment social capital</i> theoretical framework, this study examined the role and identity development, practices, and challenges of 14 classroom teachers whose college-focused work aimed to increase their students' <i> social capital</i>, resources, and opportunities for higher education. In addition, it also examined those cases when educators extended their work to actively counter the inequitable schooling conditions and structures facing working-class Latina/o youth (i.e., <i>empowerment agents</i>). Utilizing interviews, document collection, and journal responses, some of the emerging themes included: the role that teachers' personal identities play in their practices for college access and social justice, the lack of funding and resources for students' college planning prompting educators' efforts, and the various challenging schooling structures and policies testing teacher sustainability. Policy and practice recommendations aim to increase the development of resource-generating and empowering relationships between working-class Latina/o youth and their teachers, as well as to develop structures and environments required for teacher sustainability. Recommendations for further research are also provided.</p>

Full textAbstract:
The low academic achievement among Latino students in many inner city high schools leads to higher failure, dropout, and absenteeism rates, as well as lower standardized test scores and graduation rates. The purpose of this study was to explore whether Latino parental attitudes toward and perceptions, level of, and form of involvement may be linked to this low student achievement. The theoretical framework for this study was Epstein's parental involvement model. The research questions investigated the relationship between Latino parental attitudes toward and perceptions, level of, and form of involvement and student academic achievement. Fifty-eight parents participated in a parent survey for this mixed methods study. Ten parents were interviewed to obtain the qualitative data. Based on Pearson's product-moment correlation, the survey data revealed that there were no statistically significant relationships between Latino student academic achievement and parental attitudes toward and perceptions, level of, and form of involvement. Parent interview data identified parent work schedules, the inability to communicate in English, and parents' lack of education as potential barriers to their involvement. Parent recommendations to overcome these barriers included adjusting school office hours, providing bilingual school personnel, and offering parenting classes that may make high schools more accessible for Latino parents and, by extension, may challenge school personnel to better understand and address the needs of their students' parents in an attempt to promote educational equity.

Full textAbstract:
Many leaders of higher education institutions in the United States face changes in student demographics, tightened regulatory environments, and reduced state funding. University leaders have an opportunity to leverage targeted marketing strategies in order to increase their institutions' market share in the Latino student segment. The purpose of this study was to explore the strategies that some university leaders use to increase Latino student enrollment in higher education programs. The marketing mix and the Ps of marketing theory comprised the study's conceptual framework. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 3 marketing experts from the higher education sector, who were selected by purposive sampling. Data were audio recorded, transcribed, member checked, and then coded for themes. Emergent themes describe the elements to consider when implementing a comprehensive strategic marketing plan, the challenges marketers face when trying to increase Latino student enrollment, and the importance of selecting and engaging stakeholders during the recruiting process. Marketing managers and practitioners in higher education, organizational strategy leaders, and policy makers may use these findings to understand the needs of Latino students, which may contribute to the growth of Latino student enrollment and the financial viability of the institution. Implications for positive social change include increased educational attainment for Latinos and related impacts for students' communities and society.
