The aims of this study are: 1) to investigate the EFL students’ motivation in the implementation of the scientific approach (SA) and 2) to investigate the EFL students’ participation in the implementation of the scientific approach (SA). This investigation was under Classroom Action Research (CAR) and was done in two cycles consisted of four stages namely planning, acting, observing and reflecting. The subjects were the students of SMP Negeri 2 Sinjai Tengah in academic year 2016/2017. The data was collected through observation, questionnaires, and interview. While the results of CAR, both in the first and the second cycle shows that the students’ motivation and participation in the English learning process significantly improved by implementing SA. All students gave positive responses toward the implementation of SA in the English class. Of the two variables, participation variable is higher than the motivation variable. For learning motivation, students’ reaction toward the teacher’s responses and spirit of the students in carrying out their tasks were the most motivating factors of the students in learning. Meanwhile for the classroom participation, classroom embodied action and silent or non-oral participation were the most participation activities favored by students.

This study explores changes in willingness to communicate in a second language (L2 WTC) inside multilingual classrooms among short-term exchange students. Data were collected from eight Chinese exchange students studying in three universities in Canada and two instructors teaching in one of these universities through in-depth interviews. Qualitative content analysis was conducted and three patterns of WTC changes were found: positive, negative, and no apparent changes. Three main factors underlying these changes were identified, which include students’ perceptions of values in speaking up, sense of fitting in, and classroom environment. The two instructors from the host university provided positive comments and supportive suggestions regarding international students’ L2 WTC and oral participation in multilingual classrooms. This study highlights the importance of sustaining short-term exchange students’ L2 WTC through concerted efforts from students and teachers for maximizing the effectiveness of study abroad programs.

We examine group response systems (GRS) as an educational tool. We use an experimental approach and student survey data to assess vendors' claims that GRS improve student engagement and feedback, and thus improve learning. A key part of our design involves controlling for effects of moving to a more interactive pedagogy that have been found to affect learning. For a management accounting course, we find only limited GRS learning effects, as proxied by exam performance. Contrary to our expectations, we find a decline in engagement, as proxied by student oral participation, when GRS are used. We also find little evidence that GRS lead to greater student satisfaction with the course. We do find support for student satisfaction with GRS, from which we infer that implementation problems are not driving our results. In summary, we find little support for vendor claims, when controlling for changes in pedagogy.

Resumo: Este trabalho apresenta uma proposta didática para o primeiro ano do ensino fundamental com vistas à apropriação de conceitos científicos da área das Ciências da Natureza. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, conduzida por uma história infantil multimodal, realizada com 19 estudantes do primeiro ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública localizada no município de Nova Palma (Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil). Inicialmente, foi apresentado um vídeo da história infantil intitulada "Um tucano no meu caminho", produzida com sons, imagens animadas e textos elaborados por uma das autoras deste trabalho. Com base nesse enredo, os alunos tiveram a oportunidade de decodificar a mensagem da história manifestando-se oralmente e por meio de atividades de escrita e desenho. Nesses registros foi possível identificar três categorias: I- Quanto à apropriação do enredo da história; II- Quanto aos estágios de alfabetização; III- Quanto à apropriação dos conhecimentos científicos. A análise dos resultados permitiu a verificação de que a história infantil “Um tucano no meu caminho”, mediada pelas tecnologias digitais, se constituiu em uma estratégia didática viável para o estabelecimento da relação ensino e aprendizagem de Ciências. Além disso, possibilitou a identificação dos níveis de alfabetização dos alunos, os quais foram reconhecidos pela manifestação de diferentes habilidades e pela expressão dos conhecimentos científicos. Palavras-chave: Literatura infantil. Tecnologias digitais. Alfabetização científica. Ensino e aprendizagem. SCIENCE TEACHING AND CHILDREN'S STORIES: PROPOSAL FOR THE EARLY YEARS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Abstract: The purpose of this work is to present a didactic proposition for the first grade of elementary school conducted by a multimodal children’s history, in order to reach the appropriation of scientific concepts of nature science fields. A qualitative approach was used on this study performed with 19 students of this educational stage in a public school from the municipality of Nova Palma (Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil).  At first, it was shown a video containing the history for kids titled “A toucan in my way”, produced by one of the authors and containing sounds, images and texts performed by her. The pupils had the opportunity of discussing about and decoding the history message through oral participation, besides writing and drawing activities. It was possible to identify three categories from this feed-back materials and experiences, namely: I- Relative to the history script appropriation; II- Relative to the literacy stages; and III- Relative to scientific concepts. The analysis of results allowed to verify that this children’s history under mediation of digital technologies becomes an adjusted didactic strategy for the constitution of teaching-learning relationship in sciences’ education. Furthermore, it became possible the students’ literacy levels identification, allowing the expression of diverse abilities and scientific knowledge.
