Planejamento de ensino: a produção de significados nos cursos de licenciatura da Unisinos - RS

Abstract

This thesis proposes to investigate, describe and analyze the meanings attributed by undergraduate students of teaching from Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (Unisinos) to education planning. For this, we seek theoretical support in Studies in Teaching and Education Planning, approaching the post-structuralist perspective of Michel Foucault. From this understanding, we propose to examine the subject teaching planning with a problem-solving look. To conduct the survey, we made some moves to get closer to the academic activity (discipline) "Planning and Organization of Educational Action" offered for the nine degree teaching courses at Unisinos, and then we chose the focus group as a methodological procedure - we coordinated five focus groups with undergraduate students of teaching enrolled in a class in the university term of 2015/2. We used the language concept as a theoretical tool to study the teaching of planning by understanding that it contributes to the analysis of the discursive systems that make the objects. The study results make it possible to show that: (1) Undergraduate students of teaching refer to the planning as something flexible, not as something complete. At the same time, the future teachers will present the student as an uncontrollable variable, and when the student takes on a central role in the process of planning, school knowledge are dimmed; (2) The future teachers understand, also, the process of planning as closely linked to methodological issues, and relate it less to the objectives and contents to be developed. At the same time, when they mention contents to think about planning, undergraduate students of teaching do it as a synonym of an activity list or some tasks to be performed.
