Teoria administrativa e educação : um estudo de caso da gestão da Educação Pública na Amazónia

School management is a recent worry in the history of Brazilian education. Still today the administrative theories from the industrial business model are reference for education, despite its specificities. This situation is not a misconception. Care is necessary to attempt to the goal differences from schools to companies. The aim of this research was to analyze the influence of administrative practices in the quality of education in the Brazilian state of Pará, taking as empiric reference the educational-administrative reality of the 10th Educational Regional Unit (ERU), in the period from 2007 to 2010. The study was made by means of document analysis, questionnaires and the revision of theoretic fundaments, analyzing the results of the national exams of high schools and the practice of ERU school directors and schools of the same unit. Our conclusion is that among managers, the is a lack of knowledge and lack of practice of an adequate theory for education, what has created problems to the students evaluation, whose right to success is guaranteed by the Federal Constitution of Brazil. The academics and managers of education would need to discuss and reach the propositions of a management theory that meets the aims and goals of education

Introduction

"TRAINING FOR THE UNIVERSAL MUSEUM" addresses a theme of our time. A Canadian, Marshall McLuhan, coined the phrase "global village" for this age which has witnessed mass travel, mass communications, even mass credit. Are we now about to see the "mass museum", a museum presumably homogenized and popularized for whatever constitutes the greatest cohort of global visitor which might arrive on the doorsteps of every-museum, every-where? The contributors to this volume think not. But there is in these papers some evidence of worry that we as individuals and institutions responsible for the education and professional development of museum workers are failing to consider seriously the impacts of the "global" forces at work in modern societies. Angelica Ruge discusses how the Germans are re-organizing museum training into a cohesive scheme, searching out the best elements from the former two states that now comprise the new German state. Margaret Greeves and Chris Newbery document the British search for a value free (and universally applicable?) set of museological skills which will underpin performance standards in the workplace. Both of these papers offer a response to the redefinition of the post-modern national state which as we watch, is redrawing political boundaries on every continent, and emphasizing the portability of skills and learning for the itinerant knowledge-industry worker.

Promovendo a inclusão nas actividades de tempos livres

Os problemas de comportamento e de aprendizagem em idade escolar constituem uma das principais fontes de preocupação para professores, pais, psicólogos e, de uma forma geral, para todos aqueles que se interessam pelos fenómenos educativos. Contudo, tem sido difícil alcançar posições consensuais na definição do número e tipo de crianças afetadas por estes problemas, em parte devido ao número e diversidade dos profissionais que por eles se interessam. A denominada Perturbação de Hiperatividade e Défice de Atenção (P H.D.A.) (Antunes, 2009) tem sido um dos mais estudados problemas de desenvolvimento da infância e da adolescência e dos que tem mais impacto quer seja ao nível de salas de aula, quer seja no contexto específico onde o projeto se insere. Assim sendo, este trabalho de projeto pretende atuar num grupo de crianças que frequenta o centro de atividades de tempos livres (C.A.T.L.) e que inclui uma criança hiperativa (desencadeadora do projeto), de forma a desenvolver competências sociais e educativas, no grupo e com o grupo. Neste sentido, foram realizadas atividades de estimulação de memória, ativação de atenção e concentração, de forma lúdica. O lúdico, aliado a uma programação adaptada à situação, refletida e avaliada sistematicamente, proporcionou ao grupo e ao aluno momentos de cooperação, de aprendizagens de regras, de comportamentos e de respeito por si e pelo outro.
