Apresentam-se, nesse texto, os referenciais teórico-metodológicos e resultados iniciais de uma pesquisa-intervenção sobre processos formativos de mentoras e de professoras iniciantes. A formação das iniciantes pelas mentoras ocorre no Programa de Mentoria do Portal dos Professores da UFSCar (www.portaldosprofessores.ufscar.br) e a formação das mentoras (professoras experientes) em reuniões presenciais com as pesquisadoras, autoras desse trabalho. A pesquisa e a intervenção têm como base uma metodologia construtivo-colaborativa e as principais ferramentas de coleta de dados são as narrativas - escritas e orais - e conversas interativas. Relativamente ao referencial teórico, compreende-se: a aprendizagem da docência como processo contínuo no qual influem crenças, concepções, além de conhecimentos de diferentes naturezas; a iniciação à docência como período conflituoso e ao mesmo tempo rico, de aprendizagens intensas, durante o qual o professor iniciante se torna efetivamente professor; que formadores de professores - assim como professores em geral - precisam de apoio para o seu desenvolvimento profissional; que a formação continuada deve ser centrada na escola, mesmo quando virtualmente, e focalizar o atendimento das demandas indicadas por professores considerando o contexto de atuação; que a educação online via internet é uma possibilidade importante para a formação de professores. Entre os resultados obtidos, destacam-se: a construção de novos conhecimentos profissionais pelas professoras iniciantes, mentoras e pesquisadoras; a vivência, pelas mentoras - professoras experientes e bem sucedidas -, de processos de iniciação semelhantes aos das professoras iniciantes que orientam; as potencialidades de comunidades de aprendizagem e das narrativas para a promoção do desenvolvimento profissional da docência.
This study compares and contrasts four international faculty development programs for blended learning in order to understand the benefits, challenges, lessons learned, and recommendations from such initiatives. The benefits identified for faculty members, who participated in these programs, were that they became more reflective of their teaching practice and began to make a role adjustment from being a content provider to a designer and facilitator of learning for students. The biggest challenge appeared to be a lack of common institutional definition and understanding of blended learning as well as a lack of time and resources to support faculty in the redesign of their courses. With regards to lessons learned, each program emphasized the need for all institutional stakeholders to be involved in supporting the initiative and that blended learning does not simply imply adding digital technologies to an existing face-to-face course. The key recommendation from this study is that a faculty development program for blended learning needs to be clearly aligned with the institution's vision and mission.
(b) Departamento de Teorias e Práticas Pedagógicas, UFSCar. São Carlos, São SP, Brasil, darr@ufscar.br The functions that "group chronicle" (narrative of verbal and nonverbal events by a group of people discussing a common topic) might take on within action research projects relating to continuing healthcare education were analyzed. Professional practice was taken to encompass complex and tacit aspects within the social context, as proposed by the practice community. The starting point comprised action research results that used group chronicles as a non-dialectical tool. Thematic analysis was used on 31 excerpts of transcriptions of face-to-face meetings among the participants that contained the word "chronicle". Five functions were identified: facilitation of communication; engagement and identity construction; group memory and continuity of learning; raising of awareness of implicit aspects; and collaborative analysis. This tool addresses educational-investigative projects that seek to promote reflection in order to improve healthcare practices and construct knowledge from this perspective. Permanent Education in Brazilian Health/PEH. The challenge is the transformation of learning practices in continuous service/education ordered and imposed, verticalized, for professionals of only one category, and centered in processes of technical-instrumental learning for participative proposals, dialogical and that face the reality of people's work, in organization of work processes, care and administration in health [1][2][3][4][5] .For the effectiveness of these changes it is hoped that PEH crystallizes in collective and critical-reflexive in the work 4-8 processes, understanding the learning as dynamics, procedural, resulting of the active engagement in the world, in a process of construction of meaning 9 . Besides, PEH demands to value the experiences so much lived by the professionals and the senses that were built on that -given the tacit character on which the experience is constructed 8, 9 -as the reflection about the experience, that impels the professional to be conscious of what is tacit, to evaluate actions and redefine meanings, being able, like this, to produce new knowledge 10,11 .PEH aims to face the crystallization of implicit patterns of organization, work and attendance, because "frequently, problems seemingly of technical nature can express latent conflicts in the manners of thinking and acting of the profissionais" 4 , p.897. Therefore to promote the transformation by the education, the problem in subject needs to emerge, the people need to recognize themselves in the singularity of the situation and be recognized in their needs and creative-transforming potential 4 .These presuppositions are also extolled by the action-research that, in the interface among the fields of education and health, has been used for knowledge production and technology of care, as well as of formation and profissional development [12][13][14][15][16][17] . This modality of qualitative investigation is based on the colla...
Introduction: Placing practice in words is an arduous task for occupational therapists by considering the narrative aspects of practice in the complex and multifaceted relationships between human beings and society. Language favors the naming and conceptualization of what is done and opens up space of understanding and deepening of knowledge. Objective: To discuss the need to conceptualize terms to better delineate professional practice. Method: A participatory action research, organized as a community of practice for the development of clinical reasoning, with the participation of novice and experienced occupational therapists, had its data analyzed thematically, highlighting the construction of meanings about care in occupational therapy in mental health (practical, theoretical and conceptual specificities), in the light of the Dynamic Occupational Therapy Method. Results: The reflection on the shared practice favored the identification of dilemmas around the therapeutic activity and, as it gained conceptual clarity, favored the valuation of the context and the actions in occupational therapy. Conclusion: When practice is placed as an object of study, identifying statements capable of representing it, our professional field of knowledge and practice gain clarity and provide visibility to practice and epistemic communities more critical, situated, coherent, meaningful and complex.
This chapter examines the results of an investigation carried out by the researchers from a Brazilian public institution and experienced teachers (mentors) that aimed to produce knowledge on teacher professional development and learning, investigate educational processes of mentors interacting with novice teachers by e-mail, evaluate the continued education methodology adopted, and contribute to existing knowledge on online continued teacher education. The main sources of data were email communications between mentors and novice teachers, the mentors’ and novice teachers’ reflective journals, and the researchers’ observations from weekly meetings between the mentors and the teachers. The development of the online Mentorship Program has been a much more complex enterprise than a face-to-face equivalent program would have been because it demands entirely new logistics, but it promoted the establishment of professional and affective bonds among the participants, the broadening of professional knowledge, the mastery of online adult education technologies, and the participants’ professional growth.
e4142119This exploratory research focuses on the work of two beginning mentors - experienced teachers - and highlights their mentoring practices, the projected images of the performed processes and their relationships. We understand those practices as intentional actions directed to their demands - derived from continuous interpretation and decision-making processes - that aims to promote the mentees’ teacher professional learning. We analyzed the mentors' practices over 19 months as the interactions they established with the beginning teachers they mentored. It was observed that each mentor is constructing a mentoring personal style. In this process, they interpret themselves inserted in a certain context and to face the situations they develop a proper response. Their mentoring behaviors and practices reveal how much they rely on their teaching practices as they also demonstrate their decisions, acts, and the recognition of themselves as mentors, making it clear that they are building a framework for mentoring. The construction of a proper way of seeing oneself as a mentor and acting as such reveals patterns of mentoring, the characteristics of social, teaching and cognitive presences and the specificities of each interaction and, in a way, the learning of teachers experienced in this process.ResumoTrata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória que se volta para a atuação de duas mentoras iniciantes – professoras experientes – enfocando as práticas de mentoria, as imagens projetadas dos processos realizados e as relações que podem ser estabelecidas entre esses dois aspectos. Compreende-se que essas práticas são processos de ações intencionais – derivadas de processos contínuos de interpretação e de tomada de decisão – voltadas para a aprendizagem profissional da docência e dirigidas às demandas dos professores iniciantes acompanhados. Foram analisadas as produções das mentoras ao longo de 19 meses e as interações estabelecidas com as professoras iniciantes que acompanharam. Observa-se que cada mentora está construindo um estilo próprio de ser mentora e nesse processo elas vão interpretando a si mesmas inseridas em determinado contexto e desenvolvendo uma resposta própria às situações enfrentadas. Seus comportamentos e práticas de mentoria revelam o quanto se apoiam na própria prática docente e ao mesmo tempo demonstram que tomam decisões, agem e se reconhecem como mentoras. Evidencia-se que elas estão construindo quadros de referência para a mentoria. A construção de um modo próprio de se ver como mentora e de atuar como tal revela padrões de mentoria, as características das presenças social, docente e cognitiva e as especificidades de cada interação e, de certo modo, as aprendizagens das professoras experientes nesse processo.Palavras-chave: Formação de professores, Programa de indução, Professores experientes, Práticas de Mentoria.Keywords: Teacher education, Induction program, Experienced teachers, Mentoring practices.ReferencesBOLÍVAR, Antonio; DOMINGO, Jesus; FERNANDEZ, Manuel.
