Ideological Assumptions

Reciprocity between teachers and students has been central to transformative pedagogies since the early work of Paulo Freire. However, realizing students as knowledge-producers is much more difficult. This article argues that typically it is the critical educator who “troubles” students’ ideological assumptions, often with the aim of culturally reproducing ourselves through what Michael Warner describes as reprosexuality. This places teachers at the center of the power/knowledge nexus and can foreclose the possibility of a dialogic relation with students in which the power of knowledge-making is a shared endeavor. Using a case study of a graduate course focused on feminist rhetorics and pedagogies in which maternal nurturance and safety in the classroom were central issues, this article explores how Judith Butler’s politics of recognition and vulnerability can serve to build truly reciprocal student-teacher relations and a renewed vision of the role of safety in the classroom.

Speaking Skill

This study is aimed at finding out how the role of classroom interaction in students’ speaking skill by showing the role of student-student interaction and student-teacher interaction inside classroom. While, the students often found some problems in learning speaking; one of the problem that they faced was lack of interaction in classroom. According to Warda (2015:2) “lack of interaction in EFL classes, could be the first lead to student’s oral poor productions.” Allwright (1984:156) defined interaction as the fundamental fact of classroom pedagogy- the fact that everything that happens in the classroom happens through a process of live-person-to-person interaction. Classroom interaction then is the one of facilitator to start conversation, as Nunan (1991:50) argued in two-way tasks (conversational interaction), all participants have a piece of informational known only to them which must be contributed to the small group discussion for the task to be completed successfully. The writer used qualitative research design and took one of the kinds of qualitative research method, which is a case study. The data obtained from the triangulation instruments. The first instrument was observation, this instrument helped the writer to find out the real situation in classroom especially the students’ interaction in speaking class, the second instrument was questionnaire, this instrument was to classify and determine how frequently interaction in classroom, the third instrument was the data transcript from interview. The results show that 92% of the students are aware about the important of classroom interaction in their speaking skill and 56% of them need their teacher to be guider as well as motivator with the number 24% to encourage them to interact and speak in the classroom. And students really need the teacher to provide more opportunities to interact with her, which according to their responses 68% of them prefer student-teacher interaction the most. In fact, students seem to know one of good students’ qualities is speaking and interacting in classroom, since refraining classroom interaction and showing no interest will naturally affect their speaking ability.

Case Study Methods

This study aimed to analyze the newly developed math curriculum taking into account the views of teachers and students. Curriculum analysis is realized in three dimensions; (1) Classroom management – the physical and emotional environment of the classroom, the role of teachers and students, and interactions, (2) Instructions – objectives, planning, implementation, methods and techniques, instructional media, and measurement and evaluation, and (3) Strengths (and benefits) and weaknesses (and limitations). Qualitative case study methods are utilized with literature reviews.  The responses collected from the sources are the content that is analyzed, and then the code is categorized. These findings suggest that some changes have been made and reflected in the implementation of the classroom, and the student-centered approach has been incorporated into the instruction.

Focaliza o papel do fórum on-line na concepção dos professores que atuaram em um curso de pós-graduação lato sensu a distância, realizado em uma instituição pública de ensino superior. Os fóruns on-line associados a cursos são meios de interações assíncronas entre professores e alunos. Os fóruns das disciplinas do curso investigado foram observados e os sujeitos (professores e alunos), entrevistados no período de agosto de 2004 a junho de 2005. As análises desses dados se basearam na noção de situação didática e contrato didático de Brousseau (1996, apud Silva, B., 2002), nos conceitos de interação social e aprendizagem de Vigotsky (2000) e nas idéias sobre a formação do professor de educação a distância (EaD), discutidas por Belloni (2001). Essas análises foram complementadas com discussões sobre a formação de comunidades de aprendizagem on-line e o papel do professor e do aluno virtual, segundo Palloff e Pratt (2004), e sobre os conceitos de ambientes digitais de aprendizagem de Almeida (2003). Conclui que as concepções de fórum dos professores do curso mencionado são oriundas de formação e práticas presenciais e que há poucos incentivos para atualização permanente desses profissionais. Constatou-se a necessidade de investimentos do poder público na formação continuada dos professores de EaD, que contribuam para mudanças de suas concepções e resultem em transformações de suas ações no ambiente virtual, necessárias para a sociedade da informação. Palavras-chave: fórum on-line; interação; educação a distância. Abstract This article reports a case study, which focused the role of the on-line forum in the conception of the teachers who worked in a post-graduation lato sensu distance course held by a public university. The on-line forums associated with courses are means of asynchronous interactions between teachers and students. The forums of the subjects of the course at issue were observed and the subjects (teachers and students) were interviewed in the period between August 2004 and July 2005. The analyses of these data were based on Brousseau´s notion of didactical situation and didactical contract (1996), on Vigotsky’s concepts of social interaction and learning (2000), and on the ideas about the formation of distance education teachers (EaD), discussed by Belloni (2001). These analyses were complemented with discussions about the formation of on-line learning communities and the roles of virtual teacher and students according to Palloff and Pratt (2004), and about Almeida’s concepts of digital learning environment (2003). It may be concluded that the conceptions of forum that the teachers of the aforementioned course have are originated from presence formation and practice and that there is little incentive for bringing these professionals up to date. It was concluded that there is a need for State investments in the continuous formation of EaD teachers, so as to contribute to changes in their conceptions and to bring about transformations of their actions in the virtual environment, aspects necessary for the information society. Keywords: on-line forum; interaction; distance education.
