Abstract: The objective of this paper is to propose a number of new directions for analysis and reflection in the emerging research field of collective teacher work. This paper is organized in two parts: the first situates the issue of collaborative work as part of the reforms and changes that have taken place in the teaching profession since the 1980s; the second relates this issue to the many ways of dividing up teaching work. This paper aims to lay the conceptual groundwork for a field that has been largely unexplored. This work is based on the studies of Professor Tardif’s research team on changes in the teaching profession and team teaching systems, and on recent research by Professor Borges on team teaching under secondary school reform programs

Abstract: For centuries, educators have assumed that children acquire knowledge by internalizing it form the environment. It was not until the 1970’s that the researchers begun to study about the nature of children’s reading and writing systems. Psychologist wondered how children come to understand what literacy is, what functions children believed literacy served in their lives, and how children made use of literacy. This paper tries to answer these questions based on the Piagetian perspective.

Abstract: In this study, analysis of variance for parental demographic nt variables to students’ total attitudes toward science teaching and learning was carried out. A survey was carried out on a randomly selected 243 participants in the secondary school section (12-16 year age group). The Likert type questionnaire was used to collect data which was subjected to ANOVA testing. The Null hypothesis (Ho) testing showed F-ratios which were significant at both .05 and .01 alpha levels leading to rejection of (Ho). Parental encouragement, parental socio-economic status and parental educational levels were all significant towards attitude formations and change towards the teaching and learning of Science. It was concluded that parents play a critical role in encouraging and supporting their children’s Science learning at home and in school and throughout their communities.
