Good School Toolkit-Secondary Schools to prevent violence against students: protocol for a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial.

INTRODUCTION: No whole-school interventions which seek to reduce physical, sexual and emotional violence from peers, intimate partners and teachers have been trialled with adolescents. Here, we report a protocol for a pilot trial of the Good School Toolkit-Secondary Schools intervention, to be tested in Ugandan secondary schools. Our main objectives are to (1) refine the intervention, (2) to understand feasibility of delivery of the intervention and (3) to explore design parameters for a subsequent phase III trial. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will conduct a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial, with two arms and parallel assignment. Eight schools will be randomly selected from a stratified list of all eligible schools in Kampala and Wakiso Districts. We will conduct a baseline survey and endline survey 18 months after the baseline, with 960 adolescents and 200 teachers. Qualitative data and mixed methods process data collection will be conducted throughout the intervention. Proportion of staff and students reporting acceptability, understanding and implementing with fidelity will be tabulated at endline for intervention schools. Proportions of schools consenting to participation, randomisation and proportions of schools and individual participants completing the baseline and endline surveys will be described in a Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials diagram. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The ethical requirements of our project are complex. Full approvals have been received from the Mildmay Ethics Committee (0407-2019), the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (SS 6020) and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (16212). Results of this study will be published in peer-reviewed academic journals, and shared with public bodies, policy makers, study participants and the general public in Uganda. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: PACTR202009826515511.

Inteligencia emocional rasgo como amortiguador del estado de ánimo en doentes de educación infantil y primaria durante el impacto de la COVID-19 / Trait emotional intelligence as buffer of mood of in-service and pre-service teachers of preschool and elementary education during the impact of COVID-19

Antecedentes: La Inteligencia Emocional (IE) rasgo es una característica personal que puede actuar como factor protector contra circunstancias vitales desafiantes y ser un predictor del estado de ánimo en situaciones naturales como las derivadas del contexto social de la pandemia COVID-19. El objetivo general fue estudiar la relación entre IE rasgo y los estados anímicos docentes durante el confinamiento. Método: Se contó con 478 participantes, 316 docentes de Educación Infantil (EI) y Primaria (EP) de centros públicos de la Región de Murcia y 162 estudiantes de los Grados de EI y EP. Los instrumentos empleados fueron: para evaluar la IE rasgo, el TEIQue-SF; para evaluar los estados de ánimo vividos durante el impacto de la COVID-19 se utilizó una versión breve del POMS. Resultados: Los docentes con IE elevada se percibieron más enérgicos y considerados con los demás; así como menos nerviosos, malhumorados, tristes y cansados, justo el patrón contrario al de docentes con perfil de IE baja. Además, las maestras obtienen puntuaciones mayores en los estados emocionales negativos. Conclusiones: Si bien el estudio es correlacional, los resultados avalan la idea de la IE rasgo como factor protector frente al estrés, lo que refuerza su papel como promotor del bienestar docente.(AU)

Background: Trait Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a personal characteristic that can act as a buffer factor against vital challenging cir-cumstances and be a predictor of mood in a variety of natural situations such as those derived from the social context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The general aim of this research was to study the relationship between trait EI and teacher moods during confinement. Method: The study included 478 participants, 316 Preschool teachers and Elementary teachers from public centers in the Region of Murcia and 162 university students of Pre-school and Elementary education degrees. The instrument used to assess trait EI was the TEIQue-SF; to assess the moods experienced during the impact of COVID-19, a short version of the POMS was used.Results: Teachers with high trait EI were perceived to be more energized and kind-er, as well as less nervous, moody, sad and tired, just the opposite pattern of teachers with a low trait EI profile. In addition, female teachers ob-tained higher scores in negative mood states. Conclusions: Although the study is correlational, the results support the idea of trait EI as a protective factor against stress, which reinforces its role as a promoter of teacher well-being.(AU)

Liderança no exercício docente no ensino superior: um olhar psicodinâmico / Leadership in teaching in higher education: a psychodynamic perspective / Liderazgo en la enseñanza en la educación superior: una perspectiva psicodinámica

O trabalho docente representa um campo fundamental na sociedade, dada sua importância na formação de futuros profissionais e, especialmente, cidadãos. Dessa forma, a intenção do presente artigo consiste em levantar as questões oriundas do exercício de liderança na atribuição docente e refletir acerca desta liderança no Ensino Superior no que tange à sua importância para o processo formativo, bem como a inspiração que esse ofício pode proporcionar aos educandos, partindo da ideia de que a docência é um exercício de liderança. A proposta metodológica com que analisamos tal exercício, consiste na perspectiva qualitativa de caráter descritivo-analítico. Dois professores foram entrevistados por meio de um roteiro semi-dirigido com vistas a levantar e compreender as experimentações oriundas de suas trajetórias de vida que culminaram no trabalho docente que atualmente exercem. Como fundamentação teórica e metodológica de análise, utilizou-se a Psicodinâmica do Trabalho, por seu olhar quanto aos modos de ser dos sujeitos provocados pelo encontro com o trabalho e as exigências pertinentes aos processos deste. Como resultado, a amostra revelou significativa concordância com os aspectos de liderança na prática docente que exercem, embora reiterassem que existem consideráveis dificuldades nesse ofício. Essa clareza requer uma mobilização por parte dos professores líderes que por vezes se sentem sobrecarregados e redescobrindo meios de não adoecerem. Tais resultados têm potência para que novos estudos sejam elaborados no sentido de ampliar a discussão e contribuir para ações docentes, mas, sobretudo, humanas, melhores e mais afetivas.(AU)

Teaching work represents a fundamental field in society, given its importance in the training of future professionals and, especially, citizens. In this way, the intention of this article is to raise the matters arising from the exercise of leadership in teaching assignments and to reflect on this leadership in Higher Education in terms of its importance for the training process, as well as the inspiration that this craft can provide to students, based on the idea that teaching is an exercise in leadership. The methodological proposal with which we analyze this exercise consists of a qualitative perspective of a descriptive-analytical nature. Two teachers were interviewed through a semi-guided script which intended to raise and understand the experiences arising from their life trajectories that culminated in the teaching work they currently perform. As a theoretical and methodological basis for the analysis, the Psychodynamics of Work was used, due to its view on the subjects' ways of being, provoked by the encounter with work and the demands pertinent to its processes. As a result, the sample revealed significant agreement with the aspects of leadership in their teaching practice, although they reiterated that there are considerable difficulties in this job. This clarity requires mobi-lization on the part of leading teachers who sometimes feel overwhelmed and rediscover ways not to get sick. Such results have the power for new studies to be developed in order to broaden the discussion and contribute to teaching actions, but, above all, human, better and more affective actions. (AU)

El trabajo docente representa un campo fundamental en la sociedad, dada su importancia en la formación de los futuros profesionales y, en especial, de los ciudadanos. De esta forma, la intención de este artículo es plantear las cues-tiones derivadas del ejercicio del liderazgo en la tarea docente y reflexionar sobre este liderazgo en la Educación Superior en cuanto a su importancia para el proceso formativo, así como la inspiración que este oficio puede brindar a los estudiantes, partiendo de la idea de que enseñar es un ejercicio de liderazgo. La propuesta metodológica con la que analizamos este ejercicio consiste en una perspectiva cualitativa de carácter descriptivo-analítico. Se entrevistó a dos docentes a través de un guion semidirigido con miras a plantear y comprender las experiencias surgidas de sus trayectorias de vida que culminaron en la labor docente que desempeñan actualmente. Como base teórica y metodológica para el análisis, se utilizó la Psicodinámica del Trabajo, por su mirada sobre las formas de los sujetos de ser provocados por el encuentro con el trabajo y las exigencias propias de sus procesos. Como resultado, la muestra reveló un acuerdo significativo con los aspectos de liderazgo en su práctica docente, aunque reiteraron que existen dificultades considerables en este trabajo. Esta claridad requiere movilización por parte de los docentes líderes que a veces se sienten abrumados y redescubriendo formas de no enfermarse. Tales resul-tados tienen el poder de que se desarrollen nuevos estudios para ampliar la discusión y contribuir a la acción docente, pero, principalmente, a la acción humana, mejor y más afectiva.

Perceived Physical Education Teachers’ Emotional Support and its direct interrelation to Learners’ Academic Resilience / Apoyo Emocional Percibido de los Profesores de Educación Física y su interrelación directa con la Resiliencia Académica de los Alumnos

Academic resiliency is a learner's ability to overcome scholastic setbacks. Additionally, it was discovered that instructors' emotional support can boost academic resilience. However, these studies are predominantly vast in the elementary and secondary level, and are not connected to Physical Education in the Higher Education Context. This study has utilized two distinct questionnaires: Teacher’s Emotional Support Scale (TESS) and Academic Resiliency Scale (ARS-30). After performing Multiple Regression, it was observed that Teacher’s Emotional Support predicts Academic Resiliency, suggesting that teacher’s emotional support has a direct and significant influence to academic resiliency. Furthermore, it was discovered that Teacher’s Sensitivity and Regard to Adolescent Perspective has a direct influence to learners’ academic resilience, except positive climate. Physical education teachers may be able to help learners who are struggling academically by providing them with emotional support. The results emphasized the necessity of college learners' access to emotional support from teachers in building resilience. Finally, the results were examined, with an emphasis on how the development of learners' personal and contextual resources can have a positive effect on their well-being. (AU)

La resiliencia académica es la capacidad de un alumno para superar los contratiempos escolares. Además, se descubrió que el apoyo emocional de los instructores puede potenciar la resiliencia académica. Sin embargo, estos estudios son predominantemente amplios en el nivel elemental y secundario, y no están conectados con la Educación Física en el contexto de la Educación Superior. Este estudio ha utilizado dos cuestionarios distintos: Escala de Apoyo Emocional del Profesor (TESS) y Escala de Resiliencia Académica (ARS-30). Tras realizar una regresión múltiple, se observó que el apoyo emocional del profesor predice la resiliencia académica, lo que sugiere que el apoyo emocional del profesor tiene una influencia directa y significativa en la resiliencia académica. Además, se descubrió que la sensibilidad del profesor y la consideración de la perspectiva del adolescente tiene una influencia directa en la resiliencia académica de los alumnos, excepto en el clima positivo. Los profesores de Educación Física pueden ayudar a los alumnos con dificultades académicas proporcionándoles apoyo emocional. Los resultados subrayaron la necesidad de que los estudiantes universitarios reciban apoyo emocional de los profesores para desarrollar su resiliencia. Por último, se examinaron los resultados, haciendo hincapié en cómo el desarrollo de los recursos personales y contextuales de los alumnos puede tener un efecto positivo en su bienestar. (AU)

Lecturers' readiness for EMI in Malaysia higher education.

The current study aims to examine lecturer readiness for English Medium Instruction (EMI) in higher educational institutions and the contextual influences of gender, age, academic qualification, teaching experience, EMI course teaching involvement, and EMI training. A quantitative research design was employed, and a survey questionnaire was completed by 227 lecturers (out of 250 invited participants) from private universities in Klang Valley, Malaysia to gauge self-ratings of personal knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes in educating EMI courses. The collected data were subsequently analysed via the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27.0 software before revealing the findings from the inferential statistics of the t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) on lecturers' gender, age, academic qualification, teaching experience, EMI course teaching involvement, and EMI training. Resultantly, the important role of lecturers' knowledge, understanding, skills, abilities, and attitudes was highlighted to further enhance intercultural communicative competence in managing the increasingly diversified student body in EMI classrooms.

Função de Cuidar na Educação Infantil: Contribuições de Grupos de Discussão de Trabalho com Educadoras / Role of Caring in Early Childhood Education: Contributions from Working Discussion Groups with Educators / Función de Cuidado en la Educación Infantil: Grupos de Discusión de Trabajo con Maestros

As educadoras que atuam na Educação Infantil participam da subjetivação de bebês e crianças pequenas, o que pode ser extremamente exigente. Nesse sentido, este estudo teve como objetivo oferecer um espaço de escuta para educadoras, com vistas a refletir sobre os desafios da função de cuidar de bebês e crianças bem pequenas na Educação Infantil. Foram realizadas duas edições de um grupo de discussão de trabalho, nas quais participaram cinco educadoras. O material produzido no grupo de discussão de trabalho, juntamente com relatos discutidos em supervisão, foi analisado qualitativamente, a partir de análise temática indutiva. Os resultados evidenciam que o cuidado exige presença, previsibilidade, intimidade e sensibilidade, o que, muitas vezes, é solicitado pelos próprios bebês/crianças que convocam o adulto. Entretanto, responder a essas demandas de forma individualizada num ambiente coletivo pode trazer desconforto, mal-estar e angústia. O grupo de discussão de trabalho oportunizou às educadoras tomarem consciência de como se utilizavam, por vezes, de um estilo de cuidado mais mecanizado e controlador, de forma a se protegerem dessas demandas. Em síntese, o bebê/criança desacomoda o adulto e o convoca a (re)pensar sobre seu fazer, apontando a importância de espaços de escuta e reflexão aos profissionais da educação.

Working in Early Childhood Education implies that the adult caregiver participates in the subjectivation of babies, which can be extremely demanding. This study aimed to offer a listening space for nursery educators to reflect on the challenges of the role of caring for babies and very young children in Early Childhood Education. Two editions of the work discussion group were held, in which five educators participated. The material was qualitatively analyzed, considering the inductive thematic analysis. The results showed that care requires presence, predictability, intimacy, and sensitivity, requests often made by the babies and the children themselves who call the adult to respond from this place. However, responding to this demand individually in a collective environment can bring discomfort, malaise, and anguish. The group made it possible for educators to become aware of how they used a more mechanized and controlling style of care, to protect themselves from these demands. In summary, the baby and the children discomfort the adult and invite him/her to (re) think about his actions, pointing out the importance of spaces for listening and reflection to education professionals.

Trabajar en Educación Infantil implica que el adulto cuidador participe enlasubjetivación de los bebés, lo que puede ser extremadamente exigente. Por eso, este estudio tuvo como objetivo ofrecer un espacio de escucha a los educadores, con el fin de reflexionar sobre los retos del cuidado de los bebés y niños muy pequeños en la Educación Infantil. Se realizaron dos ediciones de los grupos de discusión de trabajo, en las que participaron cinco educadores. El material fue analizado cualitativamente, a partir del análisis temático inductivo. Los resultados muestran que el cuidado requiere presencia, previsibilidad, intimidad y sensibilidad, peticiones, muchas veces, realizadas por los propios bebés y niños que convocan al adulto. Sin embargo, responder a esta demanda de forma individual en un entorno colectivo puede traer malestar y angustia. Los grupos hizo posible que los educadores tomaran conciencia de cómo utilizaban un estilo de atención más mecanizado y controlador, para protegerse de estas demandas. En resumen, el bebé y los niños incomodan al adulto y lo invitan a (re) pensar en sus acciones, señalando la importancia de los espacios de escucha y reflexión de los profesionales de la educación.

Coping strategies adopted by students and professors in the COVID-19 pandemic context: a cross-sectional study / Estratégias de enfrentamento adotadas por alunos e professores no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19: um estudo transversal

INTRODUCTION: In face of the COVID-19 crisis, classroom activities at universities were interrupted in Brazil, following the guidelines of health agencies to minimize coronavirus contamination levels, with implications for students' and professors' mental health. OBJECTIVE: To identify the coping strategies used by students and professors of a Brazilian university during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the associated sociodemographic and institutional/academic variables. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was carried out using an online questionnaire with questions on socioeconomic aspects and applying the Ways of Coping Scale. RESULTS: 671 students and 231 professors from a public university in the south of Brazil enrolled in the study. Students and professors used more problem-focused coping strategies followed by searching for social support. Regarding the professors, the variables frequency of leaving home and gender were positively associated with the problem and emotion-focused strategies and religion/fanciful thought strategies, respectively. Regarding the students, women used predominantly emotion-focused and religious/fanciful thought strategies. Students aged 27 or more used more problem-focused and 18-20 and 21-26 years old used predominantly emotion-focused strategies. Living with family and leaving home for 8 days or more were associated with the religious/fanciful thought strategy. CONCLUSION: Attention chould be given to gender, age, and frequency of leaving home, when planning mental health actions to foster the use of a wider range of coping strategies adopted by university students and professors throughout moments of developmental crisis, such as the ones that emerged across pandemics.

INTRODUÇÃO: Mediante a crise sanitária instaurada pela Pandemia de COVID-19, no Brasil, atividades presenciais nas universidades foram interrompidas, seguindo diretrizes para minimizar níveis de contaminação por coronavírus, com implicações para a saúde mental de estudantes e professores. OBJETIVO: Identificar estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas por alunos e professores de uma universidade brasileira durante a pandemia de COVID-19, e variáveis sociodemográficas e institucionais/acadêmicas associadas. MÉTODOS: Realizou-se um levantamento transversal, com questionário online contendo questões sobre aspectos socioeconômicos e a Escala de Modos de Enfrentamento. RESULTADOS: 671 alunos e 231 professores de uma universidade pública do sul do Brasil utilizaram mais estratégias de enfrentamento focadas no problema, seguidas de busca de apoio social. Para os docentes, as variáveis frequência que saíram de casa e gênero associaram-se positivamente a estratégias focadas no problema, na emoção e religião/pensamento fantasioso, respectivamente. Quanto aos estudantes, as mulheres usaram predominantemente estratégias focadas na emoção e estratégias voltadas à religião/pensamento fantasioso. Os estudantes com 27 anos ou mais usaram mais estratégias focadas no problema e pessoas com 18-20 anos e 21-26 anos, usaram predominantemente estratégias focadas na emoção. Viver com a família e sair de casa 8 dias ou mais associaram-se à estratégia focada na religião/pensamento fantasioso. CONCLUSÃO: Sugere-se atenção às variáveis gênero, idade e frequência de saída de casa no planejamento de ações de saúde mental para fomentar o uso ampliado de estratégias de enfrentamento por estudantes e professores universitários ao longo de momentos de crise de desenvolvimento, como os que emergiram na pandemia

Towards a parsimonious model of faculty motivation, engagement, and work performance: A case study of a Chinese university.

BACKGROUND: The domain of faculty internationalization is under-researched, especially in the context of China. Extant research does not lend itself to applied insight, despite offering theoretical and methodological precision. OBJECTIVE: Based on the motivational systems theory, this study developed a parsimonious measure of overall faculty motivation (including capacity beliefs, context beliefs, emotions, and goals) and investigated its effect on work performance through the mediating effect of engagement in internationalization among faculty in a Chinese research-centric university. METHODS: Data of 229 faculty members were analyzed using a structural equation modeling approach. RESULTS: Faculty responses indicated that: i) the second-order overall faculty motivation scale is superior to individual items in measuring the effect of overall faculty motivation on faculty engagement and work performance; ii) overall faculty motivation positively influences faculty engagement; iii) overall faculty motivation promotes work performance; iv) faculty engagement mediates the relationship between overall faculty motivation and work performance. CONCLUSION: Faculty responses indicated that the effect of the second-order overall faculty motivation construct is superior to individual items in terms of its effect sizes on faculty engagement and work performance. More so, the measurement model showed that overall faculty motivation exerts a direct and indirect (faculty engagement) positive effect on work performance. Chinese universities should align the goals, capacity belief, context belief, and emotions of faculty with national/institutional goals to yield superior engagement for better performance.

The COVID-19 pandemic and teachers' work: perceptions of teachers from a public university in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. / A pandemia da COVID-19 e o trabalho docente: percepções de professores de uma universidade pública no estado de São Paulo, Brasil.

The COVID-19 pandemic required the restructuring of educational models, including the rapid transition from face-to-face to remote education. The aim of this qualitative research was to understand the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on undergraduate professors' work and health at a public university in the state of São Paulo. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 undergraduate faculty of humanities, biological and exact sciences form August to September 2020. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. From the content analysis, four thematic categories emerged: (1) changes in the work routine and their impacts, including adjustment to remote work and the difficulties in establishing boundaries between work and their personal life; (2) changes in the dynamics between faculty and students and the possibility of rethinking teaching practice; (3) the relationship between faculty and the university with emphasis on the decision-making process, support for the transition to remote teaching, and concerns about the quality of teaching; and (4) anguish and fears related to the pandemic that added to the set of work-related stressors. Our findings showed that actions towards the communicational dynamics, as well as actions towards faculties' mental health should be implemented.

A pandemia da COVID-19 exigiu a reestruturação dos modelos educacionais nas universidades, incluindo a rápida transição para o ensino remoto. Realizamos uma pesquisa qualitativa com o objetivo de compreender a percepção de professores universitários sobre os efeitos da pandemia da COVID-19 para a rotina de trabalho e para a saúde dos docentes de uma universidade pública no estado de São Paulo. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 17 docentes de cursos de graduação das ciências humanas, biológicas e exatas, entre agosto e setembro de 2020. As entrevistas foram gravadas e transcritas na íntegra. Da análise de conteúdo, quatro categorias temáticas emergiram: (1) mudanças na rotina de trabalho e seus impactos, incluindo a adaptação ao trabalho remoto e dificuldade em estabelecer limites entre trabalho e rotina pessoal; (2) alterações na dinâmica entre professor/alunos e possibilidade de repensar a prática docente; (3) relação dos docentes com a universidade, o processo de tomada de decisões, suporte para a transição ao ensino remoto e preocupações com a qualidade do ensino; e (4) angústias e medos relacionamos à pandemia que se somaram aos estressores do trabalho. Os resultados ressaltam a necessidade de ações direcionadas à gestão educacional, às dinâmicas comunicacionais e à saúde mental.

Faculty and Staff Perceptions of Title IX Mandatory Reporting Policies at Two Institutions.

Most faculty and staff at postsecondary institutions are mandatory reporters who must disclose sexual assault to a Title IX Coordinator. However, scholarship examining their role is sparse. We address this gap by investigating perceptions and experiences of employees (n = 166) at two institutions. Findings indicate that most employees are aware of their reporting duties, likely to comply, have received training, and support mandated reporting. Additionally, we find significant sociodemographic differences in perceptions of mandatory reporting. Those who have had a direct experience reporting have mixed reactions to the process. We discuss research and policy implications.

Depression, anxiety, and stress among students, faculty, and staff.

Objectives: To identify and compare the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among and between students and faculty/staff; and to determine and contrast the coping mechanisms utilized and barriers to mental health care perceived within and between these two populations. Participants: A total of 448 students and faculty/staff from a Midwestern university. Methods: An electronic survey including the 21 question Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale and an exploration of individual coping mechanisms and perceived barriers to mental health care. Results: Approximately one-third of the campus community experience symptoms consistent with severe or extremely severe depression (28.3% faculty/staff, 31% students), anxiety (38.6% faculty/staff, 41.8% students), and/or stress (31.1% faculty/staff, 33.9% students). There were significant differences between faculty/staff and students in regard to mental health coping mechanisms utilized and perceived barriers to professional mental health treatment. Conclusion: Mental health problems are common in both faculty/staff and student populations.

Comprendiendo las reglas emocionales en el trabajo docente: un estudio con profesoras de enseñanza básica / Understanding emotional rules in the teaching profession: a study with female elementary school teachers

El objetivo del estudio fue identificar y caracterizar las reglas emocionales que profesoras de enseñanza básica perciben en su trabajo. Desde un enfoque cualitativo se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad y episódicas a cuatro profesoras. Logrando identificar cuatro reglas emocionales docentes: las docentes deben sentir pasión por su trabajo, deben mantener equilibrio emocional en su trabajo, deben vincularse afectivamente con sus estudiantes y deben regular entre entregar cariño y poner límites en la relación con ellos. Se reconocieron cuatro características: las reglas emocionales son implícitas; se definen en base a principios personales y principios profesionales; el incumplimiento de estas genera reflexiones autocriticas en las docentes y se reconocen formas de control externo para su cumplimiento. Se discute cómo las reglas identificadas concuerdan con la literatura, se despliegan fundamentalmente en la relación con los estudiantes y sus formas de control podrían estar influenciadas por las políticas de rendición de cuentas. (AU)

The objective of the study was to identify and characterize the emotional rules that female elementary school teachers perceive in their work. From a qualitative approach, in-depth and episodic interviews were conducted with four female teachers. Four emotional rules were identified: teachers must feel passion for their work; they must maintain emotional balance in their work; they must bond affectively with their students; they must regulate between giving affection and setting limits in their relationship with them. Four characteristics were recognized: the emotional rules are implicit; they are defined on the basis of personal and professional principles; non-compliance with these rules generates self-critical reflections in the teachers and forms of external control for their compliance are recognized. It is discussed how the rules identified are consistent with the literature; these rules are fundamentally deployed in the relationship with students and their forms of control could be influenced by accountability policies.

Constituição identitária docente em dramatização: dinâmica dos posicionamentos em conflito / Constitución de identidad maestra en la dramatización: dinámica de posiciones conflictivas / Teaching identity constitution in dramatization: dynamics of conflicting positions

RESUMO. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar o processo de constituição identitária docente de licenciandos através da dinâmica dos posicionamentos em conflito, nas narrativas e dramatizações. Esta pesquisa é qualitativa e tem como perspectiva a psicologia cultural em interface com o dialogismo bakhtiniano. Para a construção dos dados, utilizamos como procedimento metodológico entrevistas narrativas individuais e videogravações da elaboração e realização da dramatização pelos próprios estudantes, além da entrevista coletiva mediada pela dramatização. Para a organização dos dados, elaboramos tabelas de temas e subtemas e mapas semióticos individuais, articulados em um mapa coletivo. Em seguida, aplicamos a análise temática dialógica da conversação, com destaque para os temas das narrativas e dos processos dialógicos dos posicionamentos nos encontros conversacionais. Identificamos, na análise dos dados, que aconteceram conflitos na dinâmica dos posicionamentos e nas estéticas docentes, tradicional e progressista, dos participantes; o que implica no processo de constituição identitária docente dos licenciandos ao produzirem significados e sentidos que orientaram as suas atuações docentes.

RESUMEN. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo investigar el proceso de constitución de identidad docente de estudiantes de pregrado a través de la dinámica de posiciones, narrativas y dramatizaciones conflictivas. Esta investigación es cualitativa y tiene como perspectiva la psicología cultural en interfaz con el diálogo de Bakhtin. Como procedimiento metodológico utilizamos, para la construcción de los datos, entrevistas narrativas individuales y grabaciones en video de la elaboración y realización de la dramatización, por parte de los propios estudiantes, además de la entrevista colectiva mediada por la dramatización. Para la organización de los datos elaboramos tablas de temas y subtemas y mapas semióticos individuales, articulados en un mapa colectivo. Luego, aplicamos el análisis temático dialógico de la conversación, destacando los temas de las narrativas y los procesos dialógicos de posicionamiento en los encuentros conversacionales. Identificamos, en el análisis de datos, que los conflictos ocurrieron en la dinámica de las posiciones y en la estética de enseñanza tradicional y progresiva de los participantes. Esto implica el proceso de constitución de la identidad docente de los estudiantes de pregrado al producir significados y significados que guiaron sus actividades de enseñanza.

ABSTRACT. This study aimed to investigate the process of teacher identity constitution of undergraduates through the dynamics of conflicting positions, narratives and dramatizations. This study is qualitative and has as perspective the cultural psychology in interface with Bakhtinian dialogism. As methodological procedure we used, for data construction, individual narrative interviews and video recordings for the elaboration and accomplishment of the dramatization, by the undergraduates themselves, besides the collective interview mediated by dramatization. For data organization, we elaborated tables of themes and subthemes and individual semiotic maps, articulated in a collective map. Then, we applied the dialogical thematic analysis of conversation, highlighting the themes of narratives and dialogical processes of positioning in conversational encounters. In data analysis, we identified conflicts in the dynamics of positioning and in the traditional and progressive teaching aesthetics of participants, which implies the process of constitution of teacher identity of the undergraduates by producing meanings and senses that guided their teaching activities.

Qualidade de vida de professores de educação física da região da grande Florianópolis, Brasil / Quality of life of physical education teachers in grande Florianópolis mesoregion, Brazil

RESUMO A discussão sobre os fatores que podem influenciar a qualidade de vida (QV) de professores de Educação Física é importante no cenário atual de transformações sociais acelaradas que refletem no contexto educacional. Com o objetivo de verificar a associação entre QV e características sociodemográficas, aplicou-se questionários de dados sociodemográficos e de qualidade de vida (Whoqol-bref) a 298 professores de Educação Física da educação básica da região da Grande Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil. Utilizou-se no tratamento de dados, os testes Qui-quadrado, Mann-Whitney e Kruskal Wallis, com post hoc de Dunn (p<0,05). Os professores de Educação Física apresentaram escores regulares na QV geral, maiores valores de escores no domínio das relações sociais e menores valores no domínio físico. As características como sexo, ciclos vitais, tempo de serviço na rede, turno de trabalho, número populacional e Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano dos municípios foram associados à QV geral e aos domínios físico, psicológico e ambiental. Conclui-se que a QV está associada as características sociodemográficas dos professores de Educação Física e que estas devem ser levadas em considerações no planejamento e na gestão educacional no ensino básico.

ABSTRACT Based on the current scenario of accelerating social changes that reflect on the educational context, the discussion on the factors that might influence the quality of life (QOL) of Physical Education teachers is important. With the purpose of evaluating the association between QOL and sociodemographic characteristics, questionnaires on socio-demographic data and quality of life (WHOQOL-bref) were applied to 298 Physical Education teachers of Basic Education in Grande Florianópolis mesoregion, state of Santa Cantarina, Brazil. The Chi-square, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests with Dunn's post hoc method (p <0.05) were used for data analysis. The Physical Education teachers showed regular scores related to the general QOL; higher values for the social relations domain and lower ones for the physical domain. Some characteristics, such as sex, vital cycles, length of service in the school system, work shift, population number and the Human Development Index (HDI) of the municipalities were correlated with general QOL, as well as with the physical, psychological and environmental domains. It is concluded that QOL is associated with the socio-demographic characteristics of Physical Education teachers; thus, this should be taken into consideration when thinking of educational planning and management in Basic Education.

Ser professor/a hoje: uma cartografia da docência no ensino fundamental / Ser maestro/a hoy: una cartografía de la enseñanza en la escuela primaria / To be a teacher today: a cartography of teaching in elementary school

RESUMO. A docência é uma profissão envolta em uma diversidade de conceitos e modos de ser-fazer-agir e conhecer a figura do/a professor/a, e suas distintas formas de atuar permitem que se compreenda a amplitude da realidade que cerca esse/a profissional. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar as percepções e significados da docência entre professores/as do ensino fundamental de uma escola municipal de Santa Maria/RS. Tendo a cartografia como método, pode-se atentar para os processos que envolvem os sujeitos presentes na pesquisa, possibilitando que problematizações provocassem reflexões. Para tanto, foram realizadas observações e quatro encontros de grupo na escola, nos quais participaram três professoras. Um diário de campo foi utilizado para o registro das narrativas e atividades realizadas. Constatou-se que a profissão docente tem sua construção feita no campo do social, pois tanto a imagem, quanto o que é ser professor/a se constrói ao longo da vida de cada um/a. Também se observou que o exercício da docência ocorre no âmbito do coletivo, pois neste espaço emergem novas perspectivas para a própria atuação profissional, permitindo assim uma forma de escape à lógica adoecedora que envolve a profissão docente. Entende-se que este adoecimento é resultante de processos de subjetivação que se expandem por toda uma rede política, econômica, cultural e social. Diante disto, pode-se apreender que intervenções que envolvem o coletivo podem ser ações potencializadoras de mudanças, tanto no ser como no fazer do/a professor/a em seu cotidiano profissional, corroborando para o seu crescimento pessoal como docente.

RESUMEN. La docencia es una profesión envuelta en una diversidad de conceptos y formas de ser-hacer-actuar y conocer la figura del docente y sus diferentes formas de actuar permite comprender la amplitud de la realidad que rodea a este profesional. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo investigar las percepciones y significados de la docencia entre profesores de primaria de una escuela municipal de Santa Maria / RS. Teniendo la cartografía como método, fue posible prestar atención a los procesos que involucran a los sujetos presentes en la investigación, permitiendo que la problematización provoque reflexiones. Para ello, se realizaron observaciones y cuatro reuniones grupales en la escuela, en las que participaron tres docentes. Se utilizó un diario de campo para registrar las narrativas y actividades realizadas. Se constató que la profesión docente se construye en el ámbito social, ya que tanto la imagen como lo que significa ser docente se construye a lo largo de la vida de cada persona. También se observó que el ejercicio de la docencia se da en el ámbito colectivo, pues en este espacio surgen nuevas perspectivas para el desempeño profesional, posibilitando así una vía para escapar de la lógica enfermiza que envuelve la profesión docente. Se entiende que esta enfermedad es el resultado de procesos de subjetivación que se expanden a lo largo de un entramado político, económico, cultural y social. Ante esto, se pudo aprehender que las intervenciones que involucran al colectivo pueden ser acciones que potencien cambios, tanto en el ser como en el hacer del docente en su rutina profesional, apoyando así su crecimiento personal como docente.

ABSTRACT. Teaching is a profession shrouded in a diversity of concepts and ways of being-doing-acting and knowing the figure of the teacher and their different ways of acting allows one to understand the breadth of the reality that surrounds this professional. This research aimed to investigate the perceptions and meanings of teaching among elementary school teachers in a municipal school in Santa Maria/RS. Having cartography as a method, it was possible to pay attention to the processes that involve the subjects present in the research, allowing problematization to provoke reflections. For this purpose, observations and four group meetings were carried out at the school, in which three teachers participated. A field diary was used to record the narratives and activities performed. It was found that the teaching profession is built in the social field, as both the image and what it means to be a teacher is built throughout the life of each person. It was also observed that the exercise of teaching occurs in the collective sphere, as in this space new perspectives for professional performance emerge, thus enabling a way to escape from the sickening logic that involves the teaching profession. It is understood that this illness is the result of subjectivation processes that expand throughout a political, economic, cultural and social network. In view of this, it was possible to apprehend those interventions that involve the collective can be actions that enhance changes, both in the being and in the doing of the teacher in their professional routine, thus supporting their personal growth as a teacher.
