Reflection On Practice

Effective reading instruction is considered one the best means of preventing school failure. This study examines how effective teaching practices of reading are formed among five exemplary elementary school teachers. By using a life history protocol informed by phenomenology, these teachers describe their past and present experiences as readers and teachers, and then explain the meaning they make out of these experiences. Individual and comparative analysis reveal that, although these teachers exhibit different experiences and teaching strategies, they share many personal and contextual experiences, such as reading models and engagement, reflection on practice and the importance of sharing experiences.

Apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa que investigou as representações de “aluno da escola pública” construídas por professores da rede pública de ensino fundamental do Rio de Janeiro. Utilizando a abordagem estrutural de Abric, concluiu-se que o núcleo da representação é constituído pelos elementos pobre e aprende a “se virar” sozinho. Cotejando-se estes resultados com os obtidos nas etapas anteriores da pesquisa, observa-se que, para os professores, o aluno tem que aprender a “se virar” sozinho porque é pobre e a pobreza implicaria desagregação familiar e luta pela sobrevivência, impedindo os pais de oferecerem aos filhos a atenção de que necessitam. Dadas todas estas características, esse aluno representaria um desafio para os professores, desafio este que eles se sentem impotentes para enfrentar. Palavras-chave: representações sociais; aluno da escola pública; família e escola; fracasso escolar. Abstract The article presents a research that investigated the representations of the “public school student” constructed by public elementary school teachers of Rio de Janeiro. Using the structural approach proposed by Abric, one concluded that the nucleus of the representation is constituted by the elements poor and learns to make it on his own. Comparing these results with those obtained in the previous steps of the research, it can be observed that, to the teachers, the student has to learn to make it on his own because he is poor and poverty would imply family desegregation and struggle for survival, preventing the parents from providing their children with the attention they need. Given all those characteristics, this student would represent a challenge to the teachers, but this is a challenge they feel they are impotent to cope with. Keywords: social representations; public school student; family and school; school failure.

Résumé : Cet article décrit les pratiques et les conceptions de huit enseignants du primaire qui se situent à divers stades du processus d’implantation des TIC. Les résultats, issus d’entretiens et d’observations, montrent que les enseignants qualifiés d’expérimentateurs, qui se situent au niveau inférieur d’utilisation des TIC, ont des conceptions et des pratiques plutôt béhavioristes. Les enseignants collaborateurs ou adaptateurs, qui se situent à des niveaux supérieurs du processus d’implantation des TIC, ont des pratiques plutôt variées et affichent plus de conceptions constructivistes que les enseignants expérimentateurs. La discussion analyse les liens entre les conceptions affichées par les enseignants et les usages des TIC. Teaching practices and elementary school teacher’s concepts of teaching and learning at different levels of integration of ICTs Abstract: This article describes both practices and concepts of eight elementary school teachers who are at different stages of implementation of ICT in their practice. The results, taken from interviews and observation, indicate that teachers, identified as “experimenters” and who tend to use ICT less, adopt concepts and practices that lean towards behaviourism. Teachers identified as “collaborators” or “adaptors” and who are at higher levels of integration of ICTs tend to have practices that are more varied and show evidence of internal representations leaning more towards constructivism. The discussion further analyzes the relationship between the concepts that are evoked by the teachers and their uses of ICTs.
