Norma e variação na aula de língua portuguesa

Nesta dissertação estudou-se a relação entre a Norma e a Variação no Ensino do Português. No Capítulo I realiza-se uma revisão crítica da bibliografia relativa aos conceitos e aos pressupostos teóricos relativos ao tema. No Capítulo II procede-se à análise das diversas dimensões e dos níveis de regulação do ensino do Português, avaliando primeiro o papel dos programas, as suas linhas orientadoras e a função dos manuais escolares que os apoiam, para em seguida se proceder à análise desses materiais com vista à identificação de uma dimensão normativa do ensino do Português e do modo como este atende à variação linguística. Com a análise dos manuais, no Capítulo III, pretendeu-se identificar, quantificar e avaliar, por um lado, o peso de matérias e conteúdos que já não provêm da gramática tradicional, mas de diferentes áreas da Linguística e, por outro lado, verificar a existência de referências explícitas ou implícitas quer à norma quer à variação linguística. Tal análise permitiu comprovar e concluir que, atendendo às directrizes programáticas e à orientação geral do ensino da língua materna, o ensino da Língua Portuguesa, fornecendo embora uma perspectiva mais abrangente do fenómeno linguístico, no conjunto dos ciclos e anos aqui analisados, se caracteriza pela fraca progressão no que diz respeito à explicitação do Funcionamento da Língua e ao desenvolvimento de efectivas competências (meta)linguísticas. /ABSTRACT: This dissertation is about the relationship between the linguistic norm and the Variation in the teaching of the Portuguese Language. ln chapter I there is a criticai review on the literature of the theoretical concepts and assumptions relating to this subject. ln chapter II you can find an analysis on the several dimensions and levels of regulation in the teaching of the portuguese language by first evaluating the role of the school programs, their guidelines and the role of the school textbooks which support them and to then analyse these material so as to identify the normative dimension in the Portuguese Language teaching and the way it meets the linguistic variation. The analysis of school textbooks in chapter III sought to identify, quantify and evaluate, on the one hand, the weight of themes and contents which don’t come from the traditional grammar but from different areas of linguistics and, on the other hand, to check the existence of explicit as well as implicit references not only to the linguistic norm but also to the linguistic variation. Considering the program guidelines and the general orientation of the mother-tongue teaching, this analysis has demonstrated and concluded that the Portuguese Language teaching, although within a boarder perspective of the linguistic phenomenon and all the cycles and years which were here analysed, can be characterized by its slow progression concerning the explicitness of the workings of the Language and the development of effective (meta)linguistic skills.

Relatório no âmbito da unidade curricular prática de ensino supervisionada

O presente relatório, que será apresentado à Universidade de Évora, foi elaborado no âmbito do Curso de Mestrado em Ensino de Português e de Espanhol, para o 3.º ciclo do ensino básico e ensino secundário, e resulta da reflexão da prática letiva realizada na Escola Básica de Alcáçovas, do Agrupamento de Escolas de Viana do Alentejo, no ano letivo de 2014/2015. Numa primeira parte, são revisitados os principais documentos legais orientadores da prática letiva, relativos ao ensino das línguas materna e estrangeira. Num segundo momento, após uma breve caracterização da Escola e do Agrupamento, dá-se a conhecer o trabalho realizado com os alunos do terceiro ciclo do ensino básico, enquanto professora de Português, fazendo-se simultaneamente uma reflexão sobre as escolhas pedagógicas efetuadas. Posteriormente, apresentam-se as atividades dinamizadas, os cargos desempenhados na Escola e no Agrupamento e faz-se um balanço do caminho percorrido até ao presente; Supervised Teaching Practise Report ABSTRACT: This report, which will be presented to the University of Évora, was elaborated within the context of the Master degree in Portuguese and Spanish teaching for the 3rd cycle of elementary and secondary school. It arises as a result of the teaching practice reflection carried out in Escola Básica de Alcáçovas, Agrupamento de Escolas de Viana do Alentejo, during the school year 2014/2015. In the first part, the main legal guiding documents, concerning the teaching of mother tongue and foreign languages and the teaching practice, are revisited. As a second step, after a brief characterization of School and School Grouping and while as Portuguese teacher, it is presented the work performed by the students of the 3rd cycle of elementary school, as well as a reflection about the chosen pedagogical choices. Subsequently, the carried out activities, the positions held at School and School Grouping are presented, as well as an assessment of what has been done so far.

ADDITION OF VINEGAR TO EXTEND THE SHELF-LIFE OF CABEÇA DE XARA

Cabeça de xara is a ready-to-eat meat product, whose production is very characteristic in Alentejo, a particular region of Portugal. It is a galantine usually moulded into parallelepiped shape made with various meats obtained from the Alentejano pig breed reared in the same region, namely deboned pork heads, tongue and connective tissue to which a number of condiments like salt, parsley, wine and pepper, are added. This work intended to test the feasibility of adding vinegar in order to increase the shelf-life of cabeça de xara, by reducing the contaminating microbiota responsible for spoilage, as well as controlling the pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. Three independent batches were produced and proximate composition, pH, aw, microbiological parameters and biogenic amines content evaluated. A sensory analysis was also performed throughout the storage period. No significant differences between control and vinegar samples was found regarding the proximate composition of cabeça de xara. As expected, pH is lower in the vinegar samples, however no differences in aw were observed between the two treatments. L. monocytogenes was present from the first month on only in one batch in the control treatment. However, it is inhibited by the addition of vinegar until the third month of storage, where L. monocytogenes is present but below the limit established in the 2073/2005 regulation. The presence of vinegar significantly decreased the content in biogenic amines, particularly cadaverine, putrescine and tyramine, throughout the storage period. Concerning sensory evaluation, no vinegar taste was reported by the panellists in a depreciating way.
