Summary: We as a starting point for this work assertions concerning the overall situation of failure in the subject of mathematics and try to root for the concepts of attitude towards mathematics and mathematical literacy (i), identifying possible explanations for the observed phenomenon. After a theoretical approach based on the exploitation of these concepts, we conducted its connection to the current context of the teaching of mathematics in Portugal. The following is an empirical study in which we seek to link the attitude of the students with regard to the subject of math with their level of literancia mathematics. To that end, we chose a sample of the population made up of students who had already completed Basic Education in the area of the Regional Bureau of Education of the Alentejo region (RBAS), a region in which we work. We used as instruments to collect information on a Scale attitude to the subject of mathematics, and used by us in a study conducted exploration in 2000, and Prova of Afriçao National Course math at the end of Basic Education in order to form a hierarchy level mathematical literacy. We organized, structured analysis and interpretation of the information collected using computerized SPSS having reached some conclusions that go against some of the esterotipos associated with the process of teaching and learning of mathematics, usually already high levels of failure in this Course, in particular. Despite the fact that we recognized some limitations resulting from options, of course, we have been having to do over labor, it is our view that it opens promising clues for further research.

Summary: Social Cognitive Theory of Albert Bandura is the reference desk on which supports this thesis that, in general, seeks to explore the beliefs of autoeficacia teaching faculty in the basic dimensions of education: planning classes The involvement of students in their learning, interaction with students and the assessment of learning and the teaching profession itself. To that end, it develops a tool for evaluating the autoeficacia directed teachers to teach at this level. The theoretical framework begins with a thorough review certainly on the importance of the thought processes of teachers as a key vehicle for improving education, and consequently student learning. After reviewing much of the studies conducted in this regard, the interest focuses on the analysis of the beliefs of teaching faculty, and specifically on the perception that teachers have on their perceived ability to teach. After presenting the main lines of social cognitive theory, the speech will focus on an exhaustive description of the meaning and the impact that such beliefs can practice in the teaching faculty. Moreover, other variables are studied which are of interest because of their relationship to the feeling of self-efficacy to teach some rather academic (preparation of perception, learning responsibility, satisfaction with teaching tasks, and so on.) others describe different profiles of the participating teachers (years of teaching experience, academic level, and so on.).

The first one is to make a theoretical study of the concept of authority. The second aims to offer some suggestions for teaching training teachers to train them in authority. The research is organized into six chapters. The first three address the first of these objectives, the remaining three to the second. The first chapter focuses on the concept of authority in the former. It is a study of teaching Greek and Roman thought, highlighting the former education now. In the second chapter study of the concept of authority stops at the Modern and Contemporary Age. In particular the focus initially on realism or disciplinarismo teaching, second in the pedagogy of Jean Jacques Rousseau, and third in educational theory of John Dewey.

Summary: General Objectives: A. Knowing the main characteristics that has taken the initial training of Teachers of History, Geography and Social Sciences Chileans. B. Knowing the principal features that have had the training of teachers of History, Geography and Social Sciences Chileans. C. Finding the perception that teachers of history Chileans have on the degree of utility of the initial and ongoing training. D. Finding the perception that teachers of history Chileans have the effects that has represented the Education Reform in Sector Curricular History and Social Sciences. Methodology: This research used as a tool for collecting information a questionnaire of 90 questions, divided into four areas. In its development stages normally met established by specialists research methodology and criteria are considered as aspects of the characteristics of the object of study of research, level of rigor and quality, the ability of the staff involved; access the sources of information necessary time available resources and the human, social and economic rights. With this instrument was collected information on the type of training that has prevailed among teachers Chilean History, Geography and Social Sciences, both initial and ongoing training. In addition, it addressed their areas of knowledge and vocational preparation, both disciplinary and educational aspects, in the context of an educational reform that has continued improvement policies for teachers and demanded of them new skills, abilities and domain content. The questionnaire was submitted to all the teachers of history of the V Region. After three calls were successfully completed 186 questionnaires, representing 38.5% of the total. Contributions: This thesis reached several conclusions depending on the various objectives and assumptions. His greatest contribution to be traced as it is a first scientific approach to the training of teachers in Chilean history. In this country, have not yet been established lines of research on the Teaching of History and the Social Sciences or the formation of Staff. Therefore, as this thesis research represents an initial mapping of the characteristics of such training, no doubt, will open up new research in universities and educational information to the authorities when making decisions related to the faculty of history. Among the key findings include: Initial training of teachers Chilean History, Geography and Social Sciences was dominated by historical knowledge. The secondary school teachers have been trained over historians that teachers, even if they also do not have adequate knowledge in connection with the construction of historical knowledge. They believe that the historical had a much higher quality than a geographical one. The teacher training is scheduled with many weaknesses and great distance from the other two disciplines that have shaped the university curricula. There is a lack of knowledge about important approaches and currents historio graphic. Teachers from secondary were not fonnados following these críterios. They prevailed training focused on traditional political history, according to comments historical stories generals. The historic cientificidad usually located within a context of positivism. Moreover, the relationship history with social science is not always perceived by teachers as a good thing. They feel that the social sciences can be a danger to the way they have designed the teaching of history in the future. The formation of the pro-8 teachers a47 history has lasted the same time as the other university degrees. The choice of studying pedagogy is strongly linked to the value of history as a discipline. The teaching practices were also traditional, with a clear predominance of lectures and exhibition. In training there is a long standing tradition. Among the teachers there is a culture of the upgrade. A significant percentage of respondents not returned to the university since its release. Those who have made improvements were dissatisfied because they can not find that continuing education has served to enhance their professional practices in the classroom. The utility of the initial training in practice was also under discussion because a significant percentage of those polled felt that such training was limited utility when desatollar the profession in a school. The experience of most of the teachers was to resume the study of many subjects in college that were not revised. This was evident in the preparation of university curricula do not take account of programs in secondary education and was known as carving reality of History teachers. Therefore, the degree of influence and impact of university education in the practice of these teachers is minimal. At the same time, research proves that among the teachers there is a broadly negative perception of educational policies developed by the Education Reform in History and Social Sciences. The discomfort of teachers is due to the lack of participation. The teachers feel that they have not been adequately consulted by the authorities before setting educational policies. Consider that most of the policies desatolladas for curriculum reform for the sector History and Social Sciences and in general for all disciplinary areas of the school curriculum have not been well implemented. The level of criticism of teachers of history with this educational reform has focused specifically on the degree of realization of its policies.

Summary: The Information Technology and Communications (hereinafter ICT) already have a long history in the field of education, however some areas of the curriculum have been kept away from this relationship. This could be the case of Physical Education in Primary Education, whose guidance on motor activity has not been conducive to this relationship. On the other hand many circumstances advised that the technology has to be part of school activities from different perspectives. Among them, we could cite the guidelines presented by the Delors Report (1996), whereby the technologies could promote the continuous enrichment of knowledge, promote equal opportunities, or provide a means of socialization. On the other hand ensuring access for all to ICTs, is one of the objectives of the council of Europe in the coming years. Therefore it is considered that no area of the curriculum should remain detached from this commitment. An analysis on the use of technology in the field of physical activity and sport, revealed that it already has several decade of initiative, linked mainly to motor learning, training, management and high performance, but that school this relationship has been rather low. It seems that the faculty of Physical Education technology used primarily for the management of the course and its tasks as a teacher: planning, programming, recording observations .. But learn Physical Education with the ICT think that enters into conflict with the intent of the area. In this sense, the ultimate aim of the thesis focuses on "Finding the appropriate treatment which should take ICT, both from the perspective of teachers and students in Physical Education from primary school, understood as an area whose specificity is your relationship with the motor activity. " Intent to be trying to answer through information collected through various quantitative and qualitative techniques. Thus, some interviews with experts contributing their understanding of the circumstances surrounding the use of ICT in education, questionnaires on a sample of Teachers of Physical Education of the City of Barcelona lets us an approximation of the actual use that makes the faculty of Physical Education of ICT, and provides information for discussion groups and forums telematic professionals provide information on existing experiences, as well as to determine the requirements for the incorporation of ICT in Physical Education primary. In conclusion it could be said that ICT can not and should not replace the motor activity in primary school, but that may represent a good strategy to earn hours for the area, encourage certain attitudes, or processes and reflection. However, any initiative to be the result of thinking and planning, and not just the technological imperative. The technology and its benefits are a right of each and every citizen. Adecuarla the needs, a prerequisite.

Summary: Plans Training Area are an organizational model for the continuous training of teachers different from those carried out in other autonomous communities in the country. This peculiarity, combined with the network of institutions working so interrelated, led one of the questions of the thesis: Do you agents acting on a plan to train area have defined functions? Â Does the delicate balance of many parallel institutions? Â What do you think the players? Â Is making the regulatory framework for the functioning of genetic PFZ? Another issue discussed was how little experience how his work in the commission of PFZ actors involved in the development of processes that are unique. Centramos questions in one of these processes, the detection requirements: Â What concept of need are people who perform processes detection training needs of teachers? Â What role are given by the process and what role attributed to teachers? Â What is the relationship between the conceptualization of the teaching profession, the formation of this professional and detection of their training needs?. The first part of the work is the theoretical framework, consists of three chapters. The first chapter is about the ongoing construction of the concept of teaching profession caracterizándola. It is a journey through the different visions of profession and the relationship between professionalization and teacher training. The second chapter deals with theoretical perspectives that shape classifications and theoretical current training of teachers. Have been discussed and defined the technical rationality and reasonableness reflexive practice as two ends of the different orintaciones, it will help us in a theoretical abstraction, putting the speeches of people who have participated in our search, within the different options. The third chapter takes place conceptualizing the core of search: the training needs of teachers and processes detection needs. It analyzes trends that currently exist in the field of detection needs. It analyzes trends that currently exist in the field of detection training needs, focusing on the educational backgrounds of Catalonia. The second part of the thesis embodies the four chapters that relate to the design and development of research, analysis and interpretation of data and the conclusions and implications of the study.
