Higher education in Taiwan has been influenced by U.S. and Western practices, and syllabi represent one means to verify this. However, limited research exists in Taiwan on course syllabi and on similarities of syllabi with practices in other countries. In the U.S. as the paradigm shifted from teaching to learning and to the learning-centered context, scholars argued that syllabi should be learning-centered. Given the assumption that higher education in Taiwan is similar to U.S. higher education and the call for a learning-centered context, this qualitative research examined 180 undergraduate syllabi at a public university in Taiwan with a (traditional) syllabus component template and a learning-centered syllabus component template derived from the literature in the U.S. to describe (1) the contents of syllabi, and (2) the extent that syllabi in Taiwan were congruent to U. S. syllabus component templates. Syllabi at this university were highly congruent with the (traditional) syllabus component template and were congruent at the medium level with the learning-centered component template. About 90% of syllabi included 8 of 10 major components. Additional findings included: 70% of faculty were male, and 30% were female; more than 75% of the faculty earned their doctoral degrees from the United States or Europe; gender made no difference on inclusion of major components for both templates; there was no difference in inclusion of components on both templates for faculty who earned their doctoral degrees from the U.S. or Taiwan; a high percentage (80%) of college courses adopted English textbooks published in the U.S.; some differences existed and use of English in the syllabus and on components included in the syllabi. Based on these syllabi, it is evident that syllabi in Taiwan represent course planning and organization congruent to recommended practices in the United States.

This paper aims to analyse syllabi written for teachers of English in Sweden from 1962 up until 2000. The syllabi are placed into a matrix to provide a lucid view of the development. The syllabi used in this study are the documents published in 1962, 1980 and 2000. The paper moves on to historically acknowledge methods and approaches in language teching serves as the basis of the division made in the matrix, as well as White's (1988) classification of two types of syllabi. The study shows that the syllabi have become more and more communicative and drawn from the structural type. The teachers are still the ones in charge, but the syllabus today is more open for interpretation that the previous documents.

This study investigates the development of the subject of English in Swedish upper secondary schools through an analysis of the syllabi in the curricula Lgy 70, Lpf 94 and Lgy 11, with a focus on English teaching and learning. In the last 50 years, the Swedish upper secondary school has undergone three major reforms. These three reforms have had an impact on the ways of teaching the English subject. By employing Fairclough’s (1992a) three-dimensional model, the study finds that these three major reforms had an impact on English teaching and learning in terms of communicative competence and individualization and teachers’ roles. The finding is important because it indicates that the current upper secondary English classroom needs to be changed when it comes to teaching and learning methods.

The United States is undergoing a major increase in a segment of the population we socially define and understand as aged. By the year 2030 approximately one in every five Americans will be 65 years or older. Because the concept of age is encompassed in our everyday world of social reality, it is a subject matter for the discipline of sociology. Aging is also recognized as a subject matter for courses in social gerontology, which incorporates a multidisciplinary approach with material from social, psychological, and biological areas. This research endeavor constitutes a content analysis of course syllabi found in the 5th edition of Teaching Sociology of Aging and the Life Course, an instructional resource publication available through the American Sociology Association, to gain insight into the way sociology constructs and presents the study of aging in sociology of aging courses as opposed to courses in social gerontology. The presence of seven sociological concepts, as well as psychological and biological references, is examined and compared in syllabi from the two areas of aging study. Results show the main differences between the two types of syllabi are that social gerontology focuses on psychological issues and sociology of aging emphasizes social roles. Both areas of study are somewhat similar, for both contain concepts in areas referencing roles, norms, stratification, and population. Social gerontology syllabi appear to have a significantly higher presence of psychological references than does sociology of aging and slightly more reference to biological references than does sociology of aging.

A rubric was used to determine the frequency of college-readiness practices of Problem Solving, Authentic Learning, and Collaborative Learning present in Advanced Placement Calculus and English syllabi. Chi square tests were conducted and determined Problem Solving, Authentic Learning, and Collaborative Learning were found significantly more often in the English syllabi than in the Calculus syllabi. Problem Solving and its subcomponents understanding the problem and strategizing, as well as the Collaborative Learning subcomponent dialogue, were found in the English syllabi more than in the Calculus syllabi. The Collaborative Learning subcomponent reciprocal teaching was found more frequently in the English Literature and Composition syllabi while peer review was found most often in English Language and Composition syllabi and not analyzed for its presence in the Calculus syllabi. No significant differences were found between subjects for the Problem Solving subcomponent hypothesizing, Authentic Learning or any of its subcomponents, nor the Collaborative Learning subcomponents using out of class time for study group learning or group projects.

This study examines the similarities and differences between the Nordic syllabi (the Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian syllabi) and the influence CEFR has had on their structure and development. This was carried out using the method of hermeneutics, looking for similarities and differences using seven different dimensions of comparison. The study shows that there are similarities between the Nordic syllabi which have all been influenced by the CEFR. The most notable similarity between the documents is the communicative nature of teaching and assessment. This could give a deeper understanding of the Nordic countries' similarities and differences when it comes to language teaching. Further studies are needed using quantitative methods to say if these findings and connections between the Nordic syllabi are due to the influence of the CEFR or if other factors have been just as influential.

In July of 1999, I wrote to 24 Texas junior and community colleges (and one four-year institution) describing my thesis agenda of a general biology lecture and laboratory syllabus for introductory biology students. I requested the titles and authors of the general biology textbooks and laboratory manuals they were currently using, the publishers of these texts, and the edition of said texts. I then contacted publishers of the various textbooks who, in turn, directed me to the Dallas-area representatives for further inquiries. I assimilated the various authors' general biology topics into a two-semester syllabus of lecture and one semester of laboratory. The document is not a text manuscript, but an all-inclusive listing of a general biology syllabus broken down by subject.

This qualitative study examines the teaching of urban education in introductory and foundational college courses. The research positions course syllabi as ubiquitous public documents that socialize students into discourse communities, and is framed within theories of social constructivism. An examination of course objectives, course assignments, and core required texts revealed varying levels of consistency in the stated learning outcomes on all (n = 31) syllabi. Overall, five conceptual approaches to introductory courses in urban education emerged: 1) schools and the social order; 2) historical perspective; 3) education policy analysis; 4) professional practice, pedagogy and research persona; and 5) teacher as change agent. Shared organizing features of all syllabi included references to education inequity, social stratification, structural racism, poverty, and social justice; however, the degree of topic emphasis varied substantially. Closer alignment between course objectives and course assignments was identified in two conceptual frameworks: a) schools and the social order and b) education policy analysis. However, minimal alignment between course objectives and assignments was identified on syllabi in c) professional practice, pedagogy; d) teacher as change agent; and e) historical perspective approaches. A review of core texts on the syllabi revealed notable consensus about required titles. Urban education is a field of study inhabited by many different academic disciplines. These findings suggest that for the field’s introductory courses, greater coherence of conceptual approaches and closer alignment of assignments with objectives deserve to be carefully considered.

This exploratory, qualitative research explored the extent that course syllabi in the Departments of English in 13 public and 9 private universities in Taiwan reflect the inclusion of syllabus components to promote learning as recommended in the literature in the United States. Research questions included: what components can be inferred from the literature in the U.S. for the recommended components of a course syllabus, for the components for a learning-centered syllabus, and for a model to analyze Bloom's cognitive level of learning? And when these are applied to analyze course syllabi in English courses, are syllabi in these universities congruent with the models? The research identified and analyzed 235 course syllabi from the core courses listed online at these universities. The findings indicated that these syllabi are highly congruent with the syllabus components template; 68% of the syllabi included seven or more of the ten components. Additionally, these syllabi reflect medium congruency with the learning-centered syllabus template. Verbs used in objectives and learning outcomes in different English courses indicate different levels of cognitive learning goals as identified by Bloom's cognitive domain. Additional findings indicate that there was no difference in inclusion of components based on where faculty earned their doctoral degree. This research assumed similarities between higher education in Taiwan and the U.S., conclusions indicate that the course syllabi in Departments of English in Taiwan are congruent with the models recommended in the literature in the U.S.

Este trabalho visa a estudar a influência da Reforma Benjamin Constant no currículo de matemática do Colégio Pedro II. Benjamin Constant foi professor e Ministro da Instrução, dos Correios e Telégrafos, em 1890-1. Ele quis reformar o ensino brasileiro, desde a escola primária até os cursos superiores. Essa Reforma teve caráter enciclopédico, inchando de conteúdos os programas das disciplinas, sobretudo os de matemática. O Colégio Pedro II foi criado em 1837-8 para servir de modelo ao ensino secundário brasileiro, que se caracterizou por dirigir-se à elite socioeconômica; na prática, o Colégio não correspondeu bem à expectativa inicial. A Reforma alterou os programas de matemática do Colégio; dentre outras modificações, introduziu neles, a partir de 1895, noções de cálculo diferencial e integral. Para analisar a influência da Reforma nos mencionados programas, o trabalho compara os currículos vigentes de 1880 a 1890 aos posteriores (1890- 1900). As bases teórico-metodológicas da pesquisa são Ivor Goodson e Jean- François Sirinelli. O trabalho visa, ainda, a caracterizar Benjamin Constant como intelectual e a examinar se e como esse seu status teria influído na Reforma. A pesquisa usa numerosos documentos: atos normativos (como os decretos que instituíram reformas educacionais no Império e no início da República), documentos curriculares (programas de matemática do Colégio Pedro II) e documentos produzidos pelo próprio B. Constant.
This paper intends to study the influence of the Benjamin Constant Reform in the Mathematics curriculum of the Pedro II School. Benjamin Constant was a Mathematics teacher and the Head of the Instruction, Mail and Telegraph Ministry (1890-1). He intended to reform all levels of Brazilian education and decreed the Reform named after him. The Reform had an encyclopedic nature, inflating the content of the programs for each subject, especially the one for Mathematics. The Pedro II School was founded in 1837-8 to serve as a model for Brazilian secondary education, which was characterized as targeted to the social/economical elite; however, the School does not seem to have fulfilled the initial expectations. The Reform altered the Mathematics syllabus of the Pedro II School; among other changes, it added, from 1895 on, notions of differential and integral calculus. To analyze the influence of the Reform in the aforementioned syllabi, this paper compares the Mathematics curriculum in use in 1880-1890 to the ones used later on (1890-1900). The theoretical and methodological bases for this research were Ivor Goodson and Jean-François Sirinelli. The paper also aims to establish Benjamin Constant as an intellectual, and to examine if and how this status would have affected the Reform. The research uses several documents: normative acts (such as the decrees that established educational reforms in Brazil, during the Empire and in the early Republic), curriculum documents (Mathematics syllabi of the Pedro II School in the 1880-1900 period) and documents produced by B. Constant himself.

The problem of using a state adopted textbook written to apply to a large body of students with varying interests and needs was overcome by using a detailed syllabus that arranged course content in a meaningful sequence that appealed to student interest. The outlined syllabus prepared a two semester life science curriculum to be used by the teacher to guide lesson planning. Both semesters were divided into three units each. Materials included in the syllabus were given to actual student groups in real classroom settings. Since hands on learning was an important part of classroom instruction, two laboratory sections were included in the appendices to be used with the syllabus.

This paper examines how aesthetic and anthropologic culture is represented in a few selected textbooks for English and to what degree these representations correspond to the aims of the English course syllabi. Regarding aesthetic culture, the emphasis in the syllabi is on the students using literature as means to an end, mainly to develop certain skills such as an understanding of the English language, or learning about anthropologic culture through aesthetic culture. The aesthetic values of literature as an art form are not promoted or encouraged at all. The selected textbooks correspond to the syllabi on this matter. Concerning anthropologic culture, the emphasis in the syllabi is on ‘difference’. Other cultures are presented as strange and distant from us, and this is something that also can be seen in the selected textbooks. Moreover, in one of the textbooks the students are addressed as future tourists, potentially causing them to view other cultures and places as sights to see and sites to visit, instead of as having intrinsic value.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
A common form of training or education evaluation involves the examination of course participant reactions towards various aspects of the course for summative evaluation purposes. Participant reactions have been examined within the framework of a comparison between online and face to face courses often with a slight positive weight towards online courses (Sitzmann et al., 2006). Past research on this topic has denoted a need for studies examining the relationship between objective course characteristics and participant reactions. This paper seeks to examine the relationship between participant reactions of a sample of geographically disbursed teachers enrolled in a large, national professional development company and objective course characteristics as communicated by course syllabi within a framework of comparison between online and face to face courses. The delivery format, knowledge base, specificity of course objectives, and student interaction levels were all related to some degree to various participant reactions, although the effect sizes were notably small. In many cases, an interaction between the delivery format and objective course characteristic in question influenced the participant reaction. Objective course characteristics as communicated by the syllabi appeared to be major predictors of participant reactions within the face to face courses that were examined, but not for the online courses. Course development stakeholders are recommended to pay attention to the course syllabus design process and craft quality syllabi that communicate relevant information while concurrently anticipating potential participant reactions.; Organizations may be able to align the outline for instruction or "contract" as presented by the syllabus with recommendations as offered by participant evaluations so as to instill consistent expectations within the participants and maximize positive reactions towards the courses within which they are enrolled.ID: 030646245; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Thesis (M.S.)--University of Central Florida, 2011.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 124-132).

The purpose of this study was to explore the alignment of soft skills sought by current business IS entry-level employers in electronic job postings, with the integration of soft skills in undergraduate business information systems (IS) syllabi of public four-year universities in Texas. One hundred fifty job postings were extracted from two major electronic career databases. Ten undergraduate AACSB-accredited programs in the field of business information systems (IS) were investigated, and syllabi for the 70 major courses of the business IS programs were obtained for review. Content analysis was applied to all job postings and syllabi, exposing all soft skills related to the 9 categories used in this study adapted from the 21st Century Framework for Learning (Partnership for 21st Century Learning, 2009). Frequencies were tabulated to determine rank of soft skills in job postings and syllabi, and Jaccard’s coefficient statistic of occurrence was used for cluster analysis. Soft skills within all 9 categories were found in job postings (n = 1554) and course syllabi (n = 774). Three soft skill categories were aligned between job postings and syllabi: (1) initiative and self-direction, (2) social and cross-cultural skills, and (3) flexibility and adaptability. However, because differences in the higher ranked frequencies of soft skills in job postings and syllabi were noted, the null hypothesis of this study was rejected.

This syllabus includes both lecture notes and laboratory activities for a two-semester anatomy and physiology community college course. The syllabus is based on a 16-week semester that is comprised of a three-hour lecture section and a one-hour laboratory class each week. Both the lecture course and laboratory are necessary to fulfill the requirement for anatomy and physiology. Laboratory activities coincide with lectures to enhance understanding of each topic by providing visual and hands-on experiments for the concepts learned in the lecture. Laboratory quizzes will be given each week to help students maintain a working knowledge of the material learned in the laboratory. This course is appropriate for the typical anatomy and physiology student and should benefit both students who plan to major in biology and also those who are non-biology majors. Because subject matter in anatomy and physiology is quite difficult, the importance of attendance and good study skills is stressed.

This is a comparative study of the Swedish and Norwegian syllabi for English for the minimum courses required in order to be allowed to apply for university courses in both countries. The study focuses on the assessment of oral production and what guidelines teachers and students are provided with in order to know what is to be assessed. As a reference point while comparing, the Common European Framework of Reference has been used as a framework for this study. The comparison has been done solely in a text-oriented manner, comparing both of the syllabi with the reference document. In the conclusion, the results drawn from this comparison will be put against each other in order to see any differences between the two syllabi and the ways in which they have interpreted the reference document. The conclusion was that both of the syllabi were largely inspired by the reference document and so turned out to be very similar in many aspects within oral proficiency assessment, as well as there were some aspects where they were quite different. The most obvious of these were the aspect of descriptors of different grade levels which was an aspect where all three documents differed in some manner, the Norwegian syllabus being the document that was least alike the two other documents.

Supporting students transitioning from high school into college continues to be a challenge for many academics and policy makers. In this conceptual content analysis study, first-year composition (FYC) course syllabi were examined based on Kuh’s (2008) High-Impact Practices (HIP) and the Association of American Colleges and Universities’ (AAC & U) rubric and HIP tenets: Civic Learning and Community Engagement that focused on writing assignments, activities, and projects embedded within selected syllabi. Specifically, this study analyzed ten FYC syllabi at one urban, public, four-year university in Southern California during the 2015–2016 academic year. Using Dedoose (2016) the researcher deconstructed the syllabi, identifying two themes: Pedagogical and Conceptual. Overall findings indicate that more FYC course syllabi embedded the Pedagogical theme (88 occurrences) than the Conceptual theme (64 occurrences). While the university’s mission statement suggests Civic Learning and Community Engagement tenets for FYC students, the essence of the Conceptual theme, FYC syllabi embedded more evidence of the Pedagogical theme. It is hoped that HIP practices have the opportunity to minimize further marginalization of students in need of developmental composition support and construct critical thinking, civic learning, and community engagement in citizens during an age when civic leaders are needed the most.

In the past 30 years there has been a steady and growing appreciation in the literature of the importance and value of teachers' practical wisdom (TPW) - or phronesis as it is also known - to further an understanding of classroom practice and of the need to find ways to help teachers generate and share their perspectives with others. Nevertheless, the potential of this kind of knowledge (understood by Aristotle to be both practical and moral in its orientation) to contribute valuable insights to educational debates has still to be realised. Rather, educational decisions about policy and practice in many contexts (whether at a national or institutional level) are still largely driven by theoretical and technical knowledge perspectives and teacher practical wisdom perspectives are still often under-valued and remain under-represented in educational literature. One of the main reasons for this put forward in this thesis is the tendency in much of the literature to see this form of knowledge as classroom bound rather than to realise the ways in which it can inform broader pedagogical discussions. Bearing all of the above in mind, the aim of the study reported in this thesis into the TPW of 14 experienced expatriate English as a foreign language teachers (EEEFLTs) working in English language centres (ELCs) across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is threefold. Its first aim is to provide a platform for the EEEFLTs to demonstrate the contribution their TPW can potentially make in addressing syllabus related issues in the KSA ELCs they have worked and, in doing so, show how the use of TPW is not confined to the classroom. Its second aim is to increase the visibility of the participants' TPW and thus raise awareness of the importance of research into TPW and to provide a model for how this can be conducted. The study's final aim is to provide a deeper understanding of the nature of TPW. Located in the interpretive paradigm, this study uses a TPW-friendly methodology to investigate TPW: interpretive phronetic educational research (IPER), which approaches and conducts educational research through a moral and practical problem-driven lens. This understanding drives the study's methodology and all stages of its data collection and analysis and the methods used in both. The goal of such methods is an epistemological one to generate TPW whilst empowering it also by highlighting its validity and how it is easily articulated - and thus captured - and not confined to the classroom. To assist with its articulation and capture, the study employs a process defined as Problematisation: a four-stage process consisting of reflection, problematisation, deliberation and articulation which drives and shapes the semi-structured interviews the study employs and the secondary research questions that inform the primary research question. The study concludes that the EEEFLTs use their TPW as a lens (that has 12 qualities) through which to view KSA ELC syllabi and, in doing so, identify many problems with the syllabi and subsequent consequences and suggest solutions to address both. These problems, consequences and solutions have been organised under six prominent categories that represent six main problem areas to emerge from the data that suggest the syllabi are teacher, textbook and test-centred, top-down, teacher-proof and time-driven. These categories represent six problem areas that in turn reflect the problematic, negative and disempowering context from which the data informing such categories and themes have been drawn. In this study, TPW is considered disempowered knowledge as a result of the disempowering context within which it has been acquired and is used. Previous TPW studies have been conducted in more positive settings and have perhaps for this reason not focused on TPW's disempowerment. In contrast, this study takes on a much more political role as it explores TPW's disempowerment in the KSA ELC context as well as in the broader context of academia and the literature. TPW's lack of visibility in TESOL and education has several implications because unless TPW achieves greater visibility, it may fade into extinction and its potential may never be realised. This study has been conducted in an attempt to prevent this happening.

The following is a complete syllabus for a college level genetics course. The syllabus contains lecture outlines and notes for each chapter, along with a list of transparencies needed. The quizzes and exams are prepared and placed at the beginning of the syllabus. The beginning of the course will consist of a lecture to introduce the students to the basics of genetics, followed by many applications of genetics. The process of cell division will be mastered by the students, as well as Mendelian genetics, quantitative genetics, chromosome mapping, and inheritance. The replication, synthesis, and organization of DNA are also discussed within the lectures. The final topics that will be covered using this syllabus are genetics of cancer and immunology and population genetics. These topics are essential for a detailed genetics course. The syllabus is written in great detail, and will require a full semester to be completed. The book used in association with this syllabus is Essentials of Genetics by William S. Klug and Michael R.

The purpose of this syllabus is to provide a working copy to those teachers of the advanced placement biology course taught at the high school level. Reference materials used were the Texas Education Agency ( TEA ) approved Campbell text Biology and the College Board's, Advanced Placement Biology Laboratory Manual. The syllabus is divided into major topics with outlined notes and includes laboratory exercises as recommended by the College Board. The AP biology course is intended to be equivalent to college biology. College freshman biology courses can differ among colleges and among teachers within the same college. This syllabus is intended to serve as an aid to AP teachers, to cover the topics and experiments as set out by the College Board, and to the high school student, the necessary material to successfully complete the AP examination while providing freshman biology equivalence.

The cognitive factors of spatial ability, human-computer interaction, problem
solving ability, and geographic attitude have been recognized as relevant to teaching and
learning GIS. The goal of this research was to examine these cognitive abilities in
university students taking an introductory course in GIS; examine any changes in these
abilities after completing the class; and examine the relationship between those abilities
and the students grades in the class. It was hypothesized that students with higher
cognitive ability scores would have higher grades than students with lower cognitive
ability scores. Nine different self-report surveys were used to assess the studentsÂ
spatial, computer, problem solving, and geographic cognitive abilities. The surveys
were administered at the beginning and end of the two academic semesters. Analysis of
the students scores revealed a significant improvement on four of the nine cognitive
ability surveys; one that measured computer experience and three that measured spatial
ability. Bivariate correlations and multiple regression analyses were used to measure the
relationship between the students scores on the cognitive ability surveys and the
students grades. Students received grades on lecture exams, lab exercises, individual
projects, and an overall grade. Only two of the bivariate correlations were statistically
significant: the factors of geography attitude and learning style were significantly
correlated with the students project grade. Multiple regression analysis also revealed a
very weak relationship, explaining less than 20 percent of the variance between the
scores on the cognitive ability surveys and the students lecture grade, lab grade, and
overall grade. However, a much stronger relationship, explaining more than 45% of the
variance, existed between the cognitive ability surveys and the students project grade.
These findings suggest that cognitive processes utilized for traditional classroom
learning to pass lecture exams are different than those utilized to learn the software skills
necessary to complete a GIS project. Therefore, it was concluded that the cognitive
ability scores are poor predictors of grades related to traditional classroom learning such
as lecture exams; however, these scores are more useful as predictors of the grades on a
GIS project.

The purpose of this study was to provide a snapshot of current Human Resources (HR) and Management curricula of four-year public universities in Texas in 2016 and evaluate their alignment with the competencies of the SHRM Competency Model®. This study used a mixed methods approach and analyzed course syllabi for a purposeful sample of 21 public universities in Texas. The course objectives referenced explicitly and/or implicitly all nine competencies. Three courses encompassed all nine competencies, and 84% of all programs demonstrated alignment with the competencies. “Business Acumen”, “Critical Evaluation”, “Communication” and “Relationship Management” were the most frequently referenced competencies in course syllabi. “Consultation” appeared the least frequently. This comprehensive analysis revealed that there is alignment between course curricula of public universities in Texas and competency expectations of graduates wishing to pursue a career in Human Resources. Recommendations applied to four areas including scholarship, university administration, professional associations, and practitioners.

The purpose of this study is to compare and contrast the motivations for reading in the subject syllabi for English in England and Sweden in the hopes of discovering how the English steering documents can inspire Swedish teachers to adopt new perspectives and approaches to reading. The aspects explored are epistemological approaches, reading content, general aims and aims within the subject, skills, requirements, discourses, and language usage. The study analyzes each of the subject syllabi from both countries and the final phase involves a comparison, which demonstrates the profitable and non-profitable similarities and dissimilarities. The study provides valuable perspectives on how teachers can broaden their interpretation of Swedish steering documents for the subject of English by departing from critical reading concepts and using a more encouraging discourse than that found in steering documents.

By drawing on feminist musicology, critical race, and intersectionality studies, the thesis addresses elements of patriarchy and white supremacy found within specific conservatory repertoire examples. Using the SongData methodology, Adams presents 50 years of data points of gender-race representation in the Royal Conservatory of Music and Conservatory Canada piano syllabi, reporting that white women make up 13.1% of 20th and 21st-century music and Black, Indigenous, and Women of Colour make up less than 0.6%. Piano music by BIPOC women is then leveled and broken down according to conservatory standards and compared to repertoire within existing syllabi. Also included is an original graded syllabus of over 3,000 pieces by women and additional curricular resources for the piano studio.

The aim of this research is to analyse whether the educational materials available to teachers of history at secondary level in Uruguay and Argentina, are appropriate for the objective of teaching the Holocaust through the emotional engagement of students with the content. More specifically, I argue that witness testimonies, when they are included in the materials and used as providers of meaning and insight, in complement to the historian narratives and not merely as decoration, have the potential to produce effective and durable learning through emotional engagement. This assessment is justified by Kieran Egan’s theory of education, which advances a cognitive development model that identifies stages determined by the tools of cognition that are most effective at the time. The stages corresponding to secondary level education highlight the value and effectiveness a humanized approach rooted in conceptual categories that allow the creation of schemas can have. This research will analyse syllabi and textbooks to verify whether these tools of cognition are engaged, through testimony, to provide meaningful learning. The method chosen to conduct this research is content analysis, which is used to test for the absence or presence of specific codes in texts. The results of this research yielded the conclusion that the materials fail to take advantage of witness testimony to provide emotional engagement, which contributes to the silencing of the voices of the victims in the narrative of the Holocaust.

This study was motivated by the latest revision of the mathematics syllabuses of the Cape Education Department. The most important changes to content in the Senior Secondary Mathematics Syllabus (July 1984) are the introduction of calculus and linear programming, the substitution of a section on analytical geometry for vector algebra and the recall of the remainder and factor theorems. The way in which these changes were introduced left the task of integrating them into the teaching process in the hands of individual teachers. This is a task of extreme importance. If one's classroom practice is to simply plough one's way through the syllabus, one loses many opportunities to make the study of mathematics meaningful and worthwhile. Accepting the view of the spiral nature of the curriculum where one returns to concepts and procedures at increasing levels of sophistication, one needs to identify the position of topics in this spiral and to trace their conceptual foundations. Analytical geometry is in particular need of this treatment. Similarly there are many opportunities for preparing for the introduction of calculus. If the teaching of calculus is left until the last moments of the Standard 10 year without proper groundwork, the pupil will be left with little time to develop an understanding of the concepts involved. It is the advent of calculators which presents the greatest challenge to mathematics education. We ignore this challenge to the detriment of our teaching. Taken seriously calculators have the potential to exert a radical influence on the content of curricula and examinations. They bring into question the time we spend on teaching arithmetic algorithms and the priority given to algebraic manipulation. Numercial methods gain new prominence. Calculators can even breathe new life into the existing curriculum. Their computing power can be harnessed not only to carry out specific calculations but also to introduce new topics and for concept reinforcement. The purpose of this study has been to bring about a proper integration of the new sections into the existing syllabus and to give some instances of how the calculator can become an integral part of the teaching/learning process

Introduction: In Sweden, it is vital that children acquire swimming ability at an early age because of the easy access to the sea, rivers, lakes, and swimming pools. Swimming ability is a life skill necessary for conducting outdoor life safely and using nature as an arena for recreation both near and in the water. Therefore, over the past century, swimming and water safety have been an essential part of the Swedish Physical Education (PE) subject to increase the likelihood that students will be able to save themselves and others from drowning. Aims: The aim of this investigation is to provide a greater understanding of the ways in which swimming ability has been described in Swedish PE syllabi for compulsory and upper secondary schools from 1962 to 2020. Materials and methods: Discourse analysis (DA) has been used to analyze the Swedish PE syllabi from 1962 to 2020. Theoretical framework: This study is inspired in a Foucauldian genealogy perspective. Results: Two main result categories were constructed from the analysis. (a) Swimming education has been present in all PE syllabi for compulsory school since 1962. These syllabi note that outdoor life, lifesaving, and swimming skills overlap and reinforce one another and suggest that swimming is an important part of Swedish culture. However, since 1994, the Physical Education and Health (PEH) syllabus for upper secondary school omits swimming skills from its content. (b) Swimming ability has a prominent position in the most recent (2011) PEH syllabus for elementary schools. Nevertheless, it is excluded from the 2011 PEH syllabus for upper secondary schools.Discussion Even though swimming ability is vital for safely conducting outdoor life and using nature as an arena for physical activity, as shown in the latest PEH syllabus, it has been excluded from current upper secondary education. Conclusion: The exclusion of swimming ability from upper secondary school syllabi may mean that some students, such as newly arrived students who migrate to Sweden, are denied opportunities to learn to swim and be safe close to and in the water.

This essay is about local history in history teaching in two cities; Kalmar and Vetlanda. The purpose was to see how teachers in Kalmar and Vetlanda define local history and what kind of local history they teach their students. I have also examined what benefits of didactics the teachers see in teaching local history. In order to find out I interviewed four history teachers at three schools in Kalmar and two history teachers at one school in Vetlanda. Some of the interviews were carried out over the telephone and the rest at the teachers´s schools. The teachers all work in upper secondary schools.
What I found was that all the teachers had more or less the same definition of the term local history; it´s about the history in one area. This area could be where their students come from or the area where the school is located. Some teachers taught more local history than others. The teachers taught some different types of local history, for example: city guiding, literature studying, subject days, essays, to search material in archives and source material etc. All the teachers said that some benefits of didactics, when it comes to teach local history, were that it could give the students some more knowledge about their hometown and its surroundings. The students know much about their hometown, but not all the background. The closeness was also an advantage; the local history is just outside the door. Hopefully it could lead to a bigger interest when it comes to history.

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study explores and potrays various ways in which reading in Xhosa can be analyzed. Learners are encouraged to see the importance of reading so that they can produce an effective communication. A range of approaches will be employed to describe and analyze what the author or writer wants to deliver through his/her message. Various types of descriptions and analyses of texts are explored in order to demonstrate the importance of reading. Important proposals advanced by Davies (1995) in her framework of hierarchical levels of text analysis are employed in showing that Xhosa reading can be analyzed in terms of this framework. This study aims at demonstrating the success of adopting the Davies framework for the learning and teaching of reading in Xhosa. Different examples of articles are examined from the Xhosa Bona Magazines. Six articles about Tourism promotion are demonstrated in an analysis using Davies' (1995) hierarchical levels of describing and analyzing texts. The seven specific outcomes for the language, literacy and communication learning area as specified in the Outcomes-based education (OBE) curriculum are discussed in relation to the teaching and learning of reading. The tourism promotion articles used in demonstrating the learner - centered approach underlying outcomes-based teaching. One of the aims of the Outcomes-based curriculum is to enhance learner participation in learning language including reading. The teaching of this kind of reading skills necessitate an understanding of how learners respond and understand texts when reading. The analyses undertaken for the Xhosa texts are important, because they demonstrate the foundation for successful teaching and learning of reading in Xhosa.

Interactive Course Organizer (ICO) is a tool that acts as a course syllabus. It combines both text and visual representation of a traditional course syllabus, and integrates visual elements, such as timelines, drawings, charts, graphs, maps, or pictures to help learners visually see the interrelationships between different parts of the course and how they all fit together. Its purpose is to provide visuals to assist learners in seeing the course and how it is organized "big picture". And by adding the interactivity feature, learners will navigate, access, and view the course content. It is a course framework to help students understand what it is they will be learning in the course.

In this thesis I explore the relationships between post-secondary education in the field of international development, and the maintenance and practices of white settler-colonialism at home and abroad. My method is to search for recurring present and absent themes found in French and English course syllabi of the Canadian Master’s Program in Globalization and International Development of the University of Ottawa. Through search strings in 81 syllabi of four mandatory courses taught over an 8-year period, 2007-2015, I find that colonialism is little mentioned, and when it is, it is usually either as something of the past or something geographically distant. I conclude that, for students, academics and others to address settler-colonialism as an obstacle to decolonization, requires (1) acknowledging their current role in naturalizing settler-colonialism, (2) denaturalizing the logics of settler-colonialism, and (3) working to deliberately give up on white settler futures, while other futures (Indigenous futures) are flourishing through the process of decolonization. While this content analysis is only a small and possibly ungeneralizable example of higher education and its simultaneous potential for colonization and decolonization, it nevertheless represents an addition to the few applications of the theoretical field of settler-colonial studies and of its material implications.

L'objectif général de cette thèse est de préciser le niveau de traitement auquel la syllabe intervient au cours de la production écrite de mots, le rôle qu'elle joue, ainsi que la dynamique de mobilisation de cette unité. Dans le premier chapitre expérimental nous explorons les relations entre l'activation des syllabes et les traitements graphomoteurs. L'activation syllabique apparaît dissociée des traitements graphomoteurs (Expériences 1a et 1b), et la dynamique d'activation des syllabes est sous l'influence des contraintes qui pèsent sur ces traitements graphomoteurs uniquement quand les contraintes sont très fortes (Expériences 2a, 2b, 2c). Les relations entre l'activation des syllabes et le traitement orthographique font l'objet du deuxième chapitre expérimental. Nos résultats montrent que les deux processus semblent dissociés (Expérience 3a et contrôle), et que la dynamique d'activation des syllabes apparaît modifiée en fonction des contraintes orthographiques, étudiée ici à travers la fréquence lexicale (Expérience 3b). L'ensemble de nos données tend à confirmer l'idée selon laquelle les syllabes sont des unités mobilisées à l'interface des traitements orthographiques et graphomoteurs, i.e., dans le buffer graphémique. Ces résultats sont discutés dans le cadre d'un modèle en cascade de la production écrite, auquel il semble que nous ajoutons un niveau de traitement spécifique à la syllabeThis research aims at specifying the processing level at which the syllable is involved during handwriting, the role that it plays, as well as the dynamics of its activation. In the first experimental chapter, we explore about relations between syllable activation and graphomotor processing. Our results show that syllable activation and graphomotor processing appear to be distinct (Experiments 1a and 1b), and that the dynamics of syllable activation vary as function of graphomotor constraints when these constraints are very strong. The relations between syllable activation and spelling are addressed is the second experimental chapter. The results show that both processes are distinct (Experiment 3a and control), and that the dynamics of syllable activation change according to spelling constraints, studied here via lexical frequency (Experiment 3b). Taken together, all these data support the assumption that syllables are activated between spelling and graphomotor processing, i.e., in the graphemic buffer. These results are discussed in a cascade model of handwriting, in which might be integrated a specific level of processing devoted to the syllable

Thesis (M.A.)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study explores how the theoretical framework pertaining to reading as advanced by Davies (1995) can be employed to develop reading skills in Xhosa and to assist learners to see reading as a process. Teaching reading to language learners has many problems. The critical thinking relevant to reading and analysis of the text in teaching reading are examined. The study explores the current genre approach in the analysis of Xhosa Bona Magazine with its articles. The research of certain scholars like Davies, Wallace, Swales, and Cope and Kalantzis will be explored, in particular, the hierarchy of five levels of text, as advanced by Davies. Reading is an integral part of the school curriculum, and to use reading texts depends on the purpose for which the educator wants to use it, i.e. to develop reading comprehension skills, to present new vocabulary and structures, or as a basis for language practice. This study examines reading in Outcomes-base Education (O.B.E.) as a current issue in South African education, to determine how the specified outcomes relate to the framework for the development of reading skills.

Die onderrig van leesvaardigheid word gekenmerk deur talle probleme. Hierdie studie ondersoek die kritiese denke wat relevant is vir leesbegrip en die analise van tekste in Xhosa ter sprake in die onderrig van leesvaardigheid.

Die werk van bepaalde navorsers soos Davies, Cope en Kalantzis, Swales en Wallace salondersoek word en, in die besonder, Davies se raamwerk van hierargiese vlakke vir die beskrywing en analise van tekste. Lees is 'n integrale deel van die skoolkurrikulum, en die gebruik van tekste vir die doeleindes van leesonderrig hou verband met die meer spesifieke doelstelling waarvoor die onderwyser die tekste wil gebruik, bv. om leesbegripvaardighede te ontwikkel, om nuwe woordeskat en strukture te ontwikkel, of as basis vir taalgebruikoefening. Hierdie studie salook leesonderrig in uitkomsgebaseerde onderrig onder die loep neem, as 'n huidige vraagstuk in taalonderrig, ten einde te bepaal hoe die spesifieke uitkomste verband hou met die raamwerk vir die ontwikkeling van leesvaardighede.

The essay treats religion teachers’ planning and how this is affected, from the perspective of three different aspects: steering documents, pupils and colleagues. Through interviews with a number of upper secondary school teachers, thoughts and opinions concerning these aspects impact on the planning, both from a quantitative and qualitative perspective, have been raised. The steering documents have proved to have the strongest influence on planning, while pupils’ and colleagues’ opinions have come second. The authors are in their closing discussion surprised to see the domination of the steering documents and the lack of cooperation between pupils and teachers as well as between teachers when planning.

Författarna har genom intervju med ett antal gymnasielärare tagit del av tankar och åsikter angående dessa tre aspekters kvantitativa och kvalitativa påverkan på planeringen. Styrdokumenten har visat sig vara den starkaste kraften i planeringen, medan elevernas och kollegornas åsikter kommit i andra respektive tredje hand. Författarna är i sin slutdiskussion förvånade över styrdokumentens starka roll i planeringen och den brist på samarbete mellan både elever och lärare och lärare emellan som blir synliggjord.

Älander, Eva (2011): De nationella proven i svenska – hur påverkar de undervisningen i årskurs 9? Examensarbete i didaktik. Lärarprogrammet. Akademin för utbildning och ekonomi. Högskolan i Gävle. Sammanfattning Detta är en studie om det nationella provet i svenska för årskurs 9. Arbetets syfte har varit att undersöka hur några lärare uppfattar att de nationella proven påverkar de prioriteringar som de gör runt ämnets innehåll. Med andra ord: hur de nationella proven påverkar undervisningen i svenska i årskurs 9. Leder proven till att den dagliga undervisningen fokuserar vissa mål på bekostnad av andra mål? Eller är det snarare så att provens existens hjälper till att ställa kursplanens innehåll i fokus på ett sätt som gynnar elevernas måluppfyllelse? Undersökningen genomfördes i form av semi-strukturerade intervjuer med fem stycken lärare som i dagsläget undervisar i svenska. Dessa lärare har varit involverade i genomförande och bedömning av nationella prov mellan två och femton gånger. Den intervjuguide som användes berörde två stycken teman; de nationella proven samt kursplanen i svenska och dess skrivningar om ämnets centrala innehåll i årskurs 7-9. Årligen genomför cirka 100 000 elever de tre delprov som ingår i det nationella provet i svenska för årskurs 9. Trots att proven inte mäter alla kursplanens mål är de mycket viktiga redskap för lärarnas bedömning och betygssättning. Lärarna i denna studie ser provresultaten som ett mått på (och garant för) sin egen bedömningsnivå, att de hamnat rätt i sin helhetsbedömning av elevens måluppfyllelse. Under en längre tid har det konstateras relativt stora avvikelser mellan elevernas provbetyg och deras samlade terminsbetyg. En sådan avvikelse behöver inte alltid vara ett problem, men den kan också visa på att lärares bedömning inte är likvärdig över landet. Problematiken blir extra tydlig när långa texter ska bedömas och bedömningsanvisningarna lämnar stort tolkningsutrymme till den enskilde läraren. Ett arbetssätt som rekommenderas för att råda bot på likvärdighetsproblematiken är sambedömning. Sambedömning problematiseras i denna studies resultat utifrån risken för att skolkulturer skapas samt de tendenser till skillnader i villkor som anas mellan lärare på kommunala respektive fristående skolor. Det blir tydligt i denna studies resultat att det nationella provet påverkar undervisningen i relativt stor utsträckning, inte minst genom de grundliga förberedelser som genomförs inför provet. Detta väcker frågor om var gränsen går mellan att ge eleverna så goda förutsättningar som möjligt och att förbereda dem så pass mycket att provresultatet inte säger något om elevens kunskaper utan snarare är en produkt utav en längre tids strategiska förberedelser? Nyckelord: bedömning, kursplan, lektionsinnehåll, måluppfyllelse, nationella prov, svenska, årskurs 9 Keywords: assessment, course syllabi, goal attainment, lesson planning, national tests, Swedish, year 9

Thèse sur travaux, l’ensemble est constitué d’un tome de « fil rouge » de 119 pages et de quatre tomes de travaux, reproduisant successivement (A) des livres, livres collectifs, articles et contributions à un ouvrage collectif, (B) des rapports d’inspection générale dont l’auteur a été le pilote ou le copilote, (C) des articles de revues, (D) des conférences et communications et (E) des interviews publiées. La première partie s’explique sur les circonstances qui ont présidé au cours de la carrière d’un haut-fonctionnaire de l’administration de l’éducation nationale à la production régulière de travaux et sur la constitution progressive d’un corpus tirant sa première cohérence de ses objets. Elle répond aussi à la question des motivations, superficielles ou profondes de la demande de légitimation universitaire de ces travaux dans le cadre d’une thèse de doctorat, de même qu’elle s’interroge sur ce qui peut étayer cette légitimation, en termes de construction d’objet, de raisonnements et de résultats.La deuxième partie reprend des travaux antérieurs ce qui traite de la façon dont le système éducatif français est gouverné, à partir des deux sous-titres « Un ministère de l’ignorance ? » et « Le désordre des pouvoirs éducatifs » : il est montré en quoi la sacralisation de la notion de système éducatif, le discours factice sur l’évaluation, la fermeture hexagonale de l’essentiel du débat sur l’éducation, ainsi que le peu d’intérêt institutionnel vis-à-vis des connaissances sur l’école concourent à renforcer un Etat éducateur central aussi monopoliste qu’impuissant.La troisième partie est plus spécifiquement consacrée à un aspect souvent négligé du système éducatif, à savoir les politiques curriculaires : l’auteur montre non seulement que le concept même de curriculum n’est pas utilisé, mais aussi que le désordre qui caractérise depuis longtemps la « fabrique des contenus » d’enseignement en France fait paradoxalement système avec une indifférence aux apprentissages des élèves qui n’est qu’un aspect du caractère sélectif des traditions éducatives françaises. Il analyse enfin dans quelle mesure le « socle commun de compétences en fin de scolarité obligatoire » inaugure une première « politique curriculaire » dans le cadre de ce paysThis thesis, consisting mainly in submitting a corpus of previous works, is made of one “guiding light” volume (119 pages) and four volumes that reproduce (A) books, collective books, articles and contributions to collective works, (B) official reports of “inspection générale” of which the author was main or associated pilot, (C) articles from reviews, (D) lectures and communications, and (E) published interviews.The first part explains from which circumstances a senior civil servant of the Department of Education regularly produced such works since 1985 and how these works step by step got their first consistency. It also tells from which motivations, be they superficial or deeper, the academic legitimization of these works is aimed for in the framework of a PhD. It also questions the grounds of this academic legitimacy, from the ways the objects were built, the kinds of reasoning that are used and the produced results themselves. The second part starts from what in the previous works dealt with the way the French Educational system is ruled, with two subtitles “A Department of ignorance?” and “Disorder in Educational authorities” : it is shown to what extent the notion of “educational system”, made sacred as it is, together with fallacious political positions about evaluation, with the frequent ignorance of international issues in most educational decisions, and with a weak official interest towards knowledge about education, reinforces the central State, as far as Education is concerned, as an actor paradoxically monopolistic, ignorant and powerless.The third part is more specifically dedicated to one aspect of the educational system that is often ignored and taboo, namely curricular policies: the author does not only show that the concept of curriculum itself is not used, but that the disorder that has for long characterized the way the curricula are produced in France, makes up a system together with a disinterest towards what students actually learn, this disinterest being itself part of the selection-oriented French educational tradition. Eventually, it analyses to which extent the introduction of the “common core of competencies to be reached at the end of compulsory education” (“socle commun”) opens the way for the first curricular policy in this country

The present project is linked to the research line of Education and Arts of the Graduate Program on Education/UFSM and to the FAPEM study group and research: Teacher Management, Action and Research on Musical Education. The main objective was to investigate the history of Music in the Pedagogy Course at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria in terms of how it was organized and implemented. Besides, factors that influenced the
syllabus organization were analyzed so that an understanding of the changes that took place
in the subject of Music between 1984 and 2008 could be better assessed. This kind of investigation is part of the historical field of school subjects having as reference the
researches developed by Bittencourt (2003), Chervel (1990), Goodson (1997, 2008) and Santos (1990). Metodologically, the investigation was organized based on oral history∕reports (ALBERTI, 2005; FREITAS, 2006; MEIHY, 2005), whose data were collected through some
teachers interviews, teachers who saw changes made in the course syllabus, together with an analysis of corresponding documents. The Pedagogy Course, throughout its history, has been attempting to qualify future professionals in the different fields of knowledge. Thus,
issues dealing with the teaching of Arts have permeated this area enabling prospective teachers to have contacts with knowledge necessary to develop classroom teaching.
Concerning Musical Education, the insertion of music in the Pedagogy Course syllabus took place in 1984 and, since then, the area has been going through the process of constant development so that teachers can be better prepared. Many professors and teachers that deal with music subjects have contributed with their academic and professional experience besides their personal trajectories, establishing the mark of duty and professionalism of this area within the context of UFSM. Through the research, it has been verified that the year
1984 was seminal to what UFSM pedagogues profile should be. A new course was started, marked by up to date tendencies, with its syllabus organized based on specific
methodologies to the different areas of knowledge. Throughout the years, formative propositions have been altered and the course has gone through three major changes - 1984, 2004 and 2007 - in order to comply with legislation, with area guidelines and the changes of conceptions on the part of professors and teachers responsible for the subject of music. The registered syllabus changes reflected a great amount of thought, discussions and movements, internal and external, regarding the context of the Education Center, which
reflected a new dynamic in Brazilian education. The serious commitment on the part of the coordination and teachers regarding the course generated new syllabi, which followed new perspectives of what a new teacher should be, and have contributed to the quality improvement of school contexts in Santa Maria and towns in the vicinity.O presente projeto está vinculado à linha de pesquisa Educação e Artes do PPGE/UFSM e ao grupo de estudos e pesquisas FAPEM: Formação, Ação e Pesquisa em Educação Musical. Objetivou-se investigar a história da disciplina de Música no curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, compreendendo-se como ela foi construída e implantada em seu currículo. Buscou-se ainda analisar os fatores que influenciaram tal construção e compreender as mudanças que se fizeram presentes na disciplina de Música entre 1984 e 2008. A investigação se insere no campo da história das disciplinas escolares, tomando-se como referência os estudos de Bittencourt (2003), Chervel (1990), Goodson (1997, 2008) e Santos (1990). Metodologicamente, a investigação foi organizada a partir da história oral (ALBERTI, 2005; FREITAS, 2006; MEIHY, 2005), cujos dados foram coletados mediante depoimentos de colaboradores que presenciaram as modificações no currículo do curso, juntamente com a análise de documentos institucionais. O curso de Pedagogia, ao longo de sua história, vem buscando qualificar os futuros profissionais nas diferentes áreas do conhecimento. Desse modo, preocupações acerca de propostas voltadas ao ensino de Arte têm permeado este espaço, proporcionando aos futuros professores contatos formais com um corpo de conhecimentos necessários ao exercício da docência em sala de aula. No caso da Educação Musical, a inserção da música no currículo do curso de Pedagogia ocorreu no ano de 1984 e, desde então, a área vem se constituindo e consolidando na formação de professores unidocentes. Inúmeros professores que trabalharam com as disciplinas de música contribuíram com suas experiências acadêmico-profissionais e suas trajetórias pessoais, marcando com compromisso e profissionalismo a área no contexto da UFSM. A partir da pesquisa, constatou-se que o momento de 1984 foi decisivo para o que viria a ser a formação de pedagogos na UFSM, criando-se um novo curso, marcado pelo pioneirismo, o qual estruturou seu currículo a partir de metodologias específicas às diferentes áreas do conhecimento. Ao longo dos anos, as propostas formativas foram sendo alteradas, passando o curso por três reformulações - 1984, 2004 e 2007, de modo a adequar-se à legislação, às orientações da área e às mudanças de concepções dos professores responsáveis pela disciplina de música. As alterações curriculares registradas nasceram de intensas reflexões, discussões e movimentos, internos e externos, ao contexto do Centro de Educação, os quais refletiram uma nova dinâmica da educação brasileira. O trabalho incansável da coordenação e dos professores comprometidos com o curso gerou novos currículos, os quais acompanharam as tendências de formação de um novo professor e contribuíram para a qualificação dos contextos escolares de Santa Maria e região.

Notre recherche a pour objet de decrire la structure syllabique du sarde. Dans cette optique, nous nous refererons a une theorie phonologique non-lineaire qui pose comme centrale la notion de contrainte: la theorie des contraintes et des strategies de reparation (tcsr). Dans le premier chapitre consacre a la syllabe, nous avons essaye de donner un apercu des problemes lies a la definition de cette notion d'un point de vue phonetique et surtout phonologique. Dans le deuxieme chapitre, nous avons analyse le role et la fonction des contraintes a l'interieur de la tcsr en faisant des comparaisons avec d'autres modeles phonologiques. Une partie de ce chapitre a ete consacree a la representation des segments et a la description des principes qui determinent le licenciement des segments au sein de la syllabe: le gouvernement et le liage. Les chapitres suivants (3-5) sont consacres a l'analyse de toute une serie de phenomenes lies a des contraintes sur la syllabification: le renforcement du /j/ en attaque, le polymorphisme du /s/ en coda, et les contraintes sur la structure des segments (processus de propagation, de debuccalisation ou d'effacement). Le dernier chapitre est consacre a la metathese du /r/. Il s'agit d'un processus tres productif, surtout dans certains parlers meridionaux. Dans ce domaine nous avons en outre constate un phenomene de pseudo-metathese qui concerne le groupe rd. En ce qui concerne les enquetes, nous avons explore une douzaine de localites. Les points d'enquetes ont ete choisis en fonction des particularites que les parlers en question presentaient au niveau segmental ou syllabique, dans le but de mieux comprendre et de verifier in loco certains faits que nous avions deja observesThe goal of our research is to describe to sardinian syllabic structure. We follow the framework of theory of constraints and repair strategies. In chapter 1 we propose a definition of syllable particularly from phonology standpoint. In chapter 2 we analyse the function of constraints in theory of constraints and repair strategies, in optimality theory and in declarative phonology and the principles of segments licensing: government and binding. In chapters 3-5, we examine a set of phenomena concerning syllabification constraints (/j/ renforcement in onset position), and segments structure constraints (process of spreading, debuccalisation or deletion). In chapter 6 we analyse the /r/ metathesis
