Este estudo histórico investigou apropriações das propostas reformistas da Escola Nova no que tange ao ensino da Aritmética para a escola primária em cinco cadernos de um aluno, de terceiro e quarto anos do curso primário, dos anos de 1952 e 1953, respectivamente, e no primeiro volume do manual didático “Práticas Escolares” que teve sua primeira edição em 1940 e décima edição em 1965, de autoria de Antonio D’Ávila. Utiliza-se como base teórico-metodológica a História Cultural na direção de dar significado às apropriações que foram feitas em relação à aritmética da escola primária em tempos da Escola Nova. Há uma predominância da resolução de problemas aritméticos ligados ao cotidiano dos alunos, indicando uma preocupação com a abstração dos conceitos com foco em uma aritmética prática, que tinha por finalidade preparar o aluno para a vida fora da escola após quatro anos de estudo no curso primário. Observa-se uma valorização do aluno como indivíduo, com respeito ao seu ritmo e dificuldades apresentadas na aprendizagem da Aritmética, um dos aspectos marcantes da Escola Nova, o aluno considerado como protagonista do processo de ensino e de aprendizagem, podendo interagir no meio social em uma formação mais humana.Palavras-chave: Aritmética.

Experience Difficulty

The research developed aims to present the school as a place of promotion to knowledge, where the educating will have the opportunity to take ownership of the necessary contents to develop and to have a social life. However, the student may experience difficulty in learning because of the lack of school inclusion, or for family and personal problems. In this sense comes the action of the Psychoeducator in the search for answers for each particularity. With investigative work, it is possible to create working methods with this student so that their difficulty is remedied. In the face of the new school paradigms, the work of the psychoeducator is essential as an intermediator in the educational process. In this context this professional gains the role of renewing the concepts of teaching and of adapting the methodologies and practices, so that in this computerized era where the information is transmitted in real time, the student is achieved in its difficulties, yearnings and fears. Thus, this work presents within the analytical, bibliographic and exploratory research a reflection on such facts, consolidating the role of the Psychoeducator, and concluding through this study the purpose of this professional that will develop its Work favoring and guiding the process of teaching and learning and human development.

Internship Experience

This exploratory study uses transformative learning theory as a lens to interpret and understand the challenges and successes experienced by education students who elect to teach or intern abroad. Transformative learning is a deeper-level learning that challenges learners to understand themselves and their world in new, more nuanced ways. We explore frames of teaching and learning from multiple lenses. Elements of the educational internship experience that emerged from students who participated in this study include initial apprehension, disbelief, and even fear; a disorienting dilemma or incongruent experience within the new school cultural context; a re-evaluation of their frames of reference, and a final emergence of more integrative, inclusive senses of self as “teacher” and “learner.” Transformative learning theory can serve both as a conceptual framework for understanding the experiences of students and as a means of suggesting ways in which educational outcomes can be better designed with a transformative intent in mind. We then present implications for teaching and learning and suggestions for future studies.            Keywords: international experience; preservice teachers; internship; transformative learning; frames of reference

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Cambridge curriculum in the International Islamic Elementary School Al-Abidin Surakarta and Integral Walisongo Elementary School Sragen as well as to find the points of excellence and weakness of the existing Cambridge curriculum implementation at the school. This research type is qualitative research, the subject of this research consist of principal, vice principal of curriculum section, Human Resources Development, International Class Program teachers, and students in International Islamic Elementary School Al-Abidin Surakarta and SD Integral Walisongo Sragen. Technique of collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation. Technique of analyzing data used descriptive qualitative. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the Cambridge curriculum in the International Islamic Elementary School Al-Abidin Surakarta runs well, this can be known through several findings, first of the Cambridge curriculum implementation process is routinely implemented at the beginning of the new school year by involving all levels teachers who teach in this program with special workshop held for teachers before the teaching and learning activities begin. Second, in the implementation of this curriculum, teachers are able to build enthusiastic learners and able to create a fun learning, so learners are more active and willing to try to understand the lesson of this curriculum. Third in the evaluation process goes well and learners are categorized able to meet the standards provided by Cambridge. Seeing the proud results we can see the advantages of the implementation of this Cambridge curriculum one of them is the complexity of the mindset of students increased, there are still some weaknesses, such as on the implementation of student learning is still difficult to understand the story in Cambridge math lesson, learners translate the story, also looking for ways to solve the problem. In addition the weakness found in the field is less effective in English language communication in the school. It occurs because of the lack of maximum vocabulary given to learners. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendiskripsikan implementasi kurikulum Cambridge  di SD Islam Internasional Al-Abidin Surakarta dan SD Integral Walisongo Sragen sekaligus untuk menemukan titik-titik keunggulan dan kelemahan implementasi kurikulum Cambridge yang ada pada sekolah tersebut. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif, subjek penelitian ini terdiri dari kepala sekolah, wakil kepala sekolah bagian kurikulum, Human Resources Development, guru-guru Internasional Class Program, dan peserta didik di SD Islam Internasional Al-Abidin Surakarta dan SD Integral Walisongo Sragen. tehnik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. tehnik analisis data secara deskripstif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam implementasi kurikulum Cambridge di SD Islam Internasional Al-Abidin Surakarta dan SD Integral Walisongo Sragen berjalan dengan baik, hal ini bisa diketahui melalui beberapa temuan, yaitu pertama dari proses perencanaan implementasi kurikulum Cambridge ini rutin dilaksanakan pada awal tahun ajaran baru yaitu dengan melibatkan seluruh jajaran guru yang mengajar di program ini dengan diadakan workshop khusus untuk guru sebelum kegiatan belajar mengajar dimulai. kedua, dalam pelaksanaan kurikulum ini, guru mampu membangun antusias peserta didik dan mampu menciptakan pembelajaran yang menyenangkan, dengan begitu peserta didik semakin aktif dan mau berusaha dalam memahami pelajaran kurikulum ini. ketiga dalam proses evaluasi berjalan dengan baik dan peserta didik dikategorikan mampu memenuhi standar yang diberikan oleh Cambridge. Melihat hasil yang membanggakan kita dapat melihat keunggulan dari implementasi kurikulum Cambridge ini salah satunya adalah kompleksitas pola pikir peserta didik meningkat meskipun demikian, masih terdapat beberapa kelemahan, diantaranya pada pelaksanaan pembelajaran siswa masih kesulitan dalam memahami soal cerita yang terdapat dalam pelajaran math Cambridge, karena disamping peserta didik menerjemahkan ceritanya, juga mencari cara untuk menyelesaikan soal tersebut. selain itu juga kelemahan yang saya temui di lapangan adalah kurang efektif dalam komunikasi Bahasa inggris di sekolah tersebut. hal itu terjadi karena kurang maksimalnya kosa kata yang diberikan kepada peserta didik.

Historic Significance

We have a brand new school library standards document in Canada to assist schools with transitioning to futures oriented teaching and learning. Leading Learning: Standards of Practice for School Library Learning Commons in Canada was officially released to the world in June 2014 and is now finding its way into strategic planning around the country. The publication of Leading Learning is an event of true historic significance. As the document says, “Learners have a right to expect good school libraries in every school in Canada.” Standards can indeed help measure practice, but Leading Learning does much more. By focusing on the needs of the learner, Leading Learning provides a framework for growth. Every school, no matter the status of its library program, can find itself in this framework and decide on tangible steps for improvement. The development of Leading Learning brought together input from every province and territory in the country, and successfully developed standards for growth that are meaningful within this very disparate context. This is a remarkable achievement.

In 1998, the AT&T Foundation awarded a grant to the Teacher Education Graduate Program at The New School, a university in New York City, to implement an Advanced Professional Certificate (APC) in Teaching and Learning with Technology (TELT). The grant was given to train public secondary classroom teachers in urban schools how to integrate technology into their classes. Using a cognitive science and constructivist-based theoretical framework, a twelve-credit four-course curriculum to earn the APC was developed. The intention was to offer it in a blended format in Fall 2000 through DIAL (Distance Instruction for Adult Learners), the New School's innovative online learning program. Because this was occurring during the early days of computer use in the classroom, many faculty and students had no prior experience in teaching and learning with technology, much less with teaching and learning over the internet. Web-based learning was in its infancy. DIAL was one of the first online learning programs in the United States to offer degrees, certificates and courses in the liberal arts through a computer-mediated environment. The Advanced Placement Certificate in Teaching and Learning with Technology was the first of its kind to offer a theoretically-based course curriculum in a blended learning format to urban educators. The historically significant outcomes were as follows: creating a method for teaching instructors how to teach technology online, learning how to integrate technology in the classroom, learning how to teach as well as participate in an online environment, using the DIAL interface which was an early platform built, in part, on a customized Linux platform. The pilot TELT program used both formative and summative assessments for learning outcomes and efficacy. The results were positive and a model for teacher education with technology was created. Nothing of this kind existed previously. The model was for continuing the New School graduate certificate program in the next stage.

In the introductory chapter for this volume of cases in digital transformation, author Rebecca Blankenship considers the emerging role of institutions of higher education in providing innovative environments for teaching and learning. She provides a practical foundation for the emergent and evolving need among colleges and universities to embrace digital equity through progressive initiatives that provide diverse and modern learning environments reflective of the needs and expectations of the 21st century students they serve. The author frames her discussion within the contexts of increasing digital literacy among faculty, instituting a culture of innovation and change, as well as considering how initiatives such as the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University's Digital Learning Initiative (DLI) provide realistic solutions for the technology gap between the traditional brick-and-mortar university and the evolving needs of 21st century students and expectations of the increasingly connected and competitive global workforce.
