O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar resultados de pesquisa realizada, nos anos de 2015-2016, em três unidades escolares situadas do interior da Bahia. A pesquisa versa sobre a relação entre a prática educativa e a emancipação humana no contexto do Programa Mais Educação, sob a perspectiva dos estudantes participantes do referido programa. Para ter acesso às informações, foram utilizadas entrevistas de grupo focal com a participação de trinta estudantes que frequentaram o programa, além de um questionário socioeconômico com a finalidade de traçar o perfil dos participantes da investigação. Optou-se por utilizar dispositivos metodológicos do materialismo histórico dialético, por se tratar de um programa cujas categorias principais são de base marxista: educação integral e emancipação humana. Conclui-se, com este estudo, que a prática educativa do PMEd contribui, parcialmente, para a emancipação humana dos estudantes, na medida em que proporciona o desenvolvimento de habilidades necessárias para conscientização e racionalidade, sobretudo, por meio das oficinas do macrocampo Acompanhamento Pedagógico, quando os estudantes têm a oportunidade de ampliar seus conhecimentos. No entanto, contraditoriamente, de acordo com as análises adorniana, o trabalho proporciona o processo de adaptação dos estudantes ao meio social na medida em que desenvolve atividades socioeducativas desconectadas com o currículo escolar, fragmentadas, não planejadas, como intuito apenas de ocupação do tempo livre dos estudantes, sem o compromisso com a sua formação integral e desenvolvimento da capacidade de autorreflexão crítica.AbstractThe objective this article is to present research results in the years 2015-2016 in three school units located in the interior of Bahia. The research is about the relation between educational practice and human emancipation in the context of the More Education program under the perspective of the students participants of said program. To access the information, were used focus group interviews with the participation of thirty students that attended the program, besides a socioeconomic questionnaire with the purpose of tracing the profile of the participants. It was decided to use methodological devices of dialectical historical materialism, because it is a program whose main categories are based on Marxism: integral education and human emancipation. It is concluded that with this study that the practice of PMED contributes, partially to the human emancipation of the students,  insofar as it provides the development of skills necessary for awareness and rationality, above all, through the  workshops of the macro field accompaniment pedagogical when students have the opportunity to broaden their knowledge. However, contradictorily, according to the analyzes, the work provides the   process of adaptation of the  students to the social environment insofar as it develops activities socio-educational disconnected with the school curriculum, fragmented, not planned with the intention of only occupying the students free time without the commitment to their integral formation and development of the capacity for critical self-reflection. Keywords:  Emancipation. Educational Practice. More Education Program. ResumenEl propósito de este artículo es presentar resultados de investigaciones realizadas en tres unidades de la escuela situadas en el interior de Bahia, en los años de 2015-2016, sobre la relación entre práctica educativa y la emancipación humana en el contexto del “Programa Mais Educação”, bajo la perspectiva de estudiantes que participan del Programa.

The Prescott Public Schools believe that the computer will become an integral part of the nation's public school curriculum in the 1980s. whether it be through the study of the social impact of computers, a review of the career opportunities, or the inclusion of a course in programming. They are meeting this computer challenge of the future through their Computer Literacy project. The project was launched with funding from ESEA Title 1V-C and the State Vocational Education Program, and it provides training for students, teachers, and parents.

In everyday communication, participants can critically explore their understanding of morally complex phenomena. There has been little effort within the social sciences to provide insight into whether and how athletes communicate among themselves about morally contested topics. This study attempts to fill this gap in the literature. Through focus group interviews and with the help of Goffman’s frame analysis, we explore how a group of young, Norwegian road cyclists communicates about doping. The article demonstrates that this communication is strongly norm-regulated and often appears as brief, assertive, and evasive. We show how the communication reflects a hegemonic discourse of doping as immoral and inexcusable. We conclude that this discourse limits explorative communication and may limit young athletes’ preparation for doping-related dilemmas and social pressures.

Anti-doping represents a global system where an athlete is in the center of a control and regulations. The perception of legitimacy is important for compliance with rules and regulation within the anti-doping system. However, the concept of legitimacy in anti-doping is not sufficiently defined, which makes it difficult to develop psychodiagnostic tools for its assessment within the framework of relevant psychological theories. The aim of this study is to review psychological literature on legitimacy perception and identify a framework within which legitimacy can be studied in anti-doping area. Reviewed data were structured by three categories of legitimacy: “proper”, “just” and “appropriate” and a respective matrix for a focus group interview had been developed. Four focus-group interviews had been conducted among Russian competitive athletes (N=22). The focus-group interviews revealed three main themes: trust to anti-doping organizations, equal and transparent anti-doping rules and possibility for athletes to influence anti-doping policy. Legitimacy of anti-doping is an important psychological construct that may be operationalized through the perception that anti-doping is functioning proper, just and appropriate. In addition, athletes voiced their concerns on the transparent and equal implementation of the anti-doping rules and possibility to influence anti-doping policy.

This article outlines how gaming and video gameplay among Danish youth can be integral parts of everyday practices. The article is based on a mixed-methods study of video gameplay patterns among Danish children and young people aged 10–18 years. The study included a survey with a stratified random sample ( N = 1560), follow-up in-depth interviews using purposive sampling from the survey respondents ( N = 19) and focus group interviews with boys and girls ( N = 2). We argue that pronounced differences in boys’ and girls’ gameplay patterns and preferences can be explained by the different ways in which gameplay is embedded into the social patterns of everyday life with family and friends. We identify two predominant gaming practices, one organised around competitive social play in teams and another around non-competitive solo play. These findings are discussed in the context of practice theory and existing work on gender and video games.

Research design: This study has a hermeneutic design. Participants and research context: In all, 40 healthcare personnel from six nursing homes in Scandinavia participated in focus group interviews in this study. Ethical considerations: This study has been evaluated and approved by the Regional Ethical Committees and the Social Science Data Services in the respective Scandinavian countries. Findings: Two main themes emerged: dignity as distinction (I), and dignity as influence and participation (II). Discussion: A common understanding was that stress and business was a daily challenge. Conclusion: Therefore, and according to the health personnel, maintaining human dignity requires slow caring in nursing homes, as an essential approach.

How teachers are engaging with a particular Ontario curriculum resource document, Me Read? No Way!, and the problem of boys’ literacy achievement in the context of a globalized neoliberal discourse of ‘failing boys’ has important implications for pedagogy and practice in the classroom. This investigation into teachers’ work adopts a feminist poststructural framework and uses critical discourse analysis to develop two case studies based on focus group interviews with a purposeful sampling of Intermediate level teachers. Not only are boys’ perceived needs and interests driving teacher choices in pedagogy and resource materials, but girls are perceived as not having any particular educational needs at all: boys will be boys and girls will be good. This investigation concludes that teacher professional knowledge must include a more developed understanding of how the social construction of gender is negotiated in the classroom.

Background: Existing research indicates that large numbers of people do not consistently use condoms when embarking on sexual relationships and instead use unreliable social cues to determine whether a potential partner is likely to have a sexually transmissible infection. This article reports on an aspect of the first major piece of qualitative research that explored young people’s perspectives on sexuality in Ireland, and focuses on how young men made sense of risk when it came to sexual behaviour. Methods: Seventeen focus group interviews (collectively comprising 124 young men) were conducted with male secondary school pupils in Ireland, whose ages ranged from 14 to 19 years. Results: The data are structured around three themes that capture how study participants made sense of sexual safety. These themes are: (i) rumour, local hearsay and ‘knowing’ a potential partner; (ii) the social construction of the ‘slut’ category; and (iii) women as ‘bearers of disease’. Young women in the young men’s social group tended to acquire a specific sexual identity, not necessarily through any definitive evidence of their sexual history, but rather through their normative behaviours – dress, presentation, appearance and so forth. It was on this basis that the sexual status of a young woman was judged. Conclusions: Based on participants’ accounts, we conclude that notions of safer sex are not merely established in individual discussions between a couple embarking on a sexual relationship, but rather are produced discursively in the wider social setting beyond the sexual encounter.

AbstractIn this article the development, use and evaluation of tasks in organic chemistry is discussed. These tasks are designed following the concept of school-related content knowledge. In this study the perceived relevance of these new tasks by preservice chemistry teachers was evaluated. Of special interest was the question how new tasks should be designed to be perceived as relevant; are some features of the tasks more suitable than others? To answer all research questions a mixed methods study was conducted. To understand the students’ rating of the new tasks by using questionnaires, in addition focus group interviews were conducted. The suitability of these new tasks for use in written exams was also evaluated. The results show that the students perceived the tasks as relevant for their future profession if they included contents of the school curriculum, realistic situations and were personalized. They perceived the new tasks also as relevant for practicing skills in communication and explanations.

The primary purpose of the study was to investigate the social and cultural factors which provide support to female athletes as well as to explore the interferences in their sports participation. Total 43 female student-athletes of secondary schools participated in six focus group interviews. Interviews of these focus groups were recorded and prepared notes from them. The findings revealed that parents support and appreciate their girls in sports at their achievements at a low level. It was revealed from the findings that female athletes have fewer facilities and rewards/incentives. It was found that female athletes were also criticized on their sports dresses in rural areas of Pakistan. On the other hand, few opportunities, sports dress, and gender inequalities were found as big hurdles in sports participation of female athletes due to male dominance. Parents, peers, siblings, and sports teachers should support their females in their sports participation.

Biographies of scientists are often used in the teaching environment, both in textbooks and in course contents - sections from the lives of scientists are often included to encourage students to pursue and enjoy science. This research investigated the effect of social content biographical texts of scientists on students' attitudes towards science courses. The research was a mixed-method study and consisted of 51 science teachers. The participants were determined according to a convenience sampling method. Focus group interviews, repertory grid technique, and individual interviews were used to collect data in the study. Through focus group interviews with teachers, it was discussed what kind of changes biographical texts might make to students' attitudes to science. Later, 51 teachers explained the social biographical texts to their students and observed the changes in the students. Based on their observations, they scored the repertory grids. Finally, an individual interview was held with fifteen teachers. As a result, it has been determined that social biographical texts were able to increase students' interest, motivation and questioning skills, while able to decrease their anxiety.
