Foi realizado um estudo de caso qualitativo, com 24 alunos de um curso técnico em Recursos Humanos, com o objetivo de verificar quais são os modelos mentais que esses estudantes possuem sobre cálculos para folhas de pagamento. Ao utilizar um questionário e realizar entrevistas semiestruturadas, a fim de investigar os possíveis níveis de evolução dos modelos mentais dos estudantes, as análises mostraram que 17% dos alunos são não modeladores, ou seja, não possuem nenhuma estratégia de pensamento sobre o tema, mesmo que este já tenha sido ministrado ao longo do Ensino Fundamental e Médio. Além disso, foi observada a importância em considerar as estratégias de raciocínio dos alunos, não considerando apenas os “erros” ou “acertos” nas questões propostas. Pode-se considerar que dentro do mesmo curso diversos alunos apresentaram modelos mentais diferentes uns dos outros mesmo recebendo a mesma instrução. Esse resultado mostra a importância da reflexão sobre as práticas didático-pedagógicas utilizadas em sala de aula, uma vez que o intuito é proporcionar a todos os alunos uma aprendizagem efetiva e de qualidade que perdure ao longo da vida.

When using a questionnaire and conducting semi-structured interviews, in order to investigate the possible levels of evolution of the students' mental models, the analyzes showed that 17% of the students are non-modelers, in other words they do not have any thinking strategy on the theme, even ifit has already been taught throughout Elementary and High School. In addition, the importance of considering the students' reasoning strategies was observed, not only considering the “mistakes” or “successes” in the proposed questions. It can be considered that, within the same course, several students presented different mental models from each other even receiving the same instruction. This result shows the importance of reflecting on the didactic-pedagogical practices used in the classroom, since the aim is to provide all students with effective and quality learning that lasts throughout their lives.

The Every Student Succeeds Act redefines the priorities of our nation’s education system. Prior to its passage, turnaround strategies advanced solutions for low-performing schools. Research literature examining how these reforms impacted the schooling experiences of students attending these schools is lacking. We present the results of a qualitative case study of a reconstituted urban school in the Southwest United States, providing the perspectives of 10 students with dis/abilities and the effects accountability reform efforts had on their high school experience. Three expressed needs and desires were identified: (a) a positive school identity, (b) stability, and (c) to be recognized and heard.

Design/methodology/approach This qualitative case study (Merriam, 1998, 2009) documents how an STT program functioned in 2015-2016 academic year. Findings Findings show the STT provided a rich and authentic learning opportunity for students interested in information technology. The district benefits greatly through both cost savings and personnel support related to its 1:1 initiative. Originality/value As there is no current research on K-12 STTs, this study serves as a foundation for a practice that is growing within schools.
