Reflexão sobre pesquisa colaborativa: articulações escola e universidade (Ciência do Sistema Terra, Currículo e Formação de Professores)

This work was born from public presentation done during 8th Meeting in High Level Education Program at University Moura Lacerda, Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil, in October 2012. That time showed up theoretical hypothesis of teacher education done by a collaborative research group of teachers and researchers and main results for Pedagogy course and students of basic levels. This paper intends to show up the findings of researches done by group of studies for Earth System Science and teacher education. The aim is to think about curriculum politics and teacher education from teachers’ practices, researches and studies on high school level. Moreover, we show up theoretical fundamentals which guide our actions and think. After we treat of organization, results and curricular innovations guided by Earth System Science and how that changes the view of nature of teachers and students. Qualitative methods of research help to describe curricular processes collectively done together with teachers of public schools. Our findings show up that teacher education must be a long, collective and interactive process to prepare high level teachers and researchers for teaching and teacher education.

Filosofia da Educação no Brasil: concepções, impasses e desafios para a sua constituição como campo de pesquisa e o seu ensino nasduas últimas décadas

This article analyses the constitutions of the Philosophy of Education’s field in Brazil, from 1990 to the present day, with the purpose of analyzing the genealogy of his “crisis” as a discipline, discussing the dilemmas of its development and to indicate their main challenges today. For such purposes, by means of a genealogical method, we analyze the conceptions of philosophy of education drawn from the theoretical perspective, as well as rebuild historically the clashes caused about certain topics and, particularly, about the human formation. We conclude that the thematic shifts produced and the proliferation of those perspectives were responsible for producing lands to the dialogue between them, however, this strategy does not alleviate some problems of Philosophy of Education in Brazil, demonstrating the presence of two philosophical traditions in the current debate and demanding position of those who work in this field of research and teaching in relation to them.

Contribuição de indicadores bibliométricos para a pesquisa em Ciência da Informação: análise da produção científica em Odontologia no Brasil

This paper aims at contributing with research about Information Science through analysis of Bibliometric indicators applied to Dentistry in Brazil, comparing the impact of such production with the ones from major countries in that field. The analyzed indicators are the following: total number of citations, self-citations, average of citations received a year and index h. Within the procedures, we outlined, in the Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) the group of producing countries in the field of Dentistry from 1996 to 2009. The results show that Brazil is the only country in Latin America which is among those of major impact in Dentistry. We highlight the role of the Bibliometric indicators as methodological contribution to the research while pointing out the main “performers” in the knowledge field.

A pesquisa sobre o fazer pesquisa: uma análise de citação da literatura periódica em Ciência da Informação

Introduction: This paper considers that information science (IS) literature covers a diversity of thematics with low emphasis on researches about conducting research. The study analyzes the scientific production of authors who investigate about research methodology in the information science (IS) literature, and the references used to lay the foundation of the methodological issues regarding the area. It discusses the methodological and epistemological positions of the leading researchers highlighted as the most productive investigators on the subject in the country. Method: The research adopts the content analysis coupled with metric studies to contextualize the indicators related to productivity, to the types of authorship and citation analysis. The bibliographic coupling method is considered an analysis mode which analyzes concomitant citations. It develops a theoretical framework about the importance of scientific production analysis in different knowledge fields. The study investigates, from a theoretical perspective, the concepts about research methodology and the complementarity between methodology and epistemology in conducting research. Results: The results of the analysis showed that the production of the highlighted authors presents the methodology as a thematic focus to be applied to IS contexts, as well as a research object in the field. The prominent productivity of the authors is justified especially by deepening the meta studies about the ways to conduct research in IS. This study also identifies a trend to single-authored studies about the theme. Conclusions: The research considers that meta studies and applied and methodological studies are important to recognize a consistent theoretical and practical core in the IS area. Regarding the epistemological influences identified by the citation analysis, the study observes that the critical rationalist epistemology and the social and political epistemology are highlighted in the construction of the theoretical framework of the most productive authors.

Plano de recuperação de desastres: uma pesquisa-ação em empresa do setor energetico

This work has the purpose of demonstrating how to build a Disaster Recovery Plan. In order to achieve such objective, an adaptation of the PDCA method was applied. This plan aims resuming the IT operations as fast as possible after some kind of incident which result the stop of the services or activities. Besides serving as insurance for the continued functioning of the company’s activities, indeed your non-existence brings up risks of financial loss and threatens the company’s image. As to illustrate the functionality and validity, the method was applied in an IT department of an energy company. It was concluded that the plan was well elaborated living up to the purposes described in the objective section of this work and validating the project developed so far, having a percentage of 85% of the overall success of the systems tested

Pesquisa do Paracoccidioides brasiliensis em aerossóis ambientais: padronização de metodologia e avaliação de amostras relacionadas ao habitat de tatus positivos

P.brasiliensis é o agente etiológico da Paracoccidioidomicose, micose sistêmica mais importante na América Latina. A fase saprofítica produtora dos propágulos infectantes e outros aspectos ecológicos deste patógeno são ainda pouco conhecidos, o que impede a adoção de medidas preventivas. Diversas evidências indicam que o fungo se desenvolve no solo, porém o seu isolamento a partir destes materiais é raro e apenas eventual. O presente projeto visou desenvolver uma metodologia para obtenção de amostras ambientais na forma de aerossóis em locais onde a ocorrência do fungo já foi evidenciada pelo seu isolamento em tatus Dasypus novemcinctus e avaliar a ocorrência do patógeno nestes materiais por cultura direta e por biologia molecular em reações de PCR com “primers” específicos, já desenvolvidos em nosso laboratório. Para tal, avaliamos o padrão de crescimento do P. brasiliensis em quatro diferentes meios ditos como seletivos. Entre estes meios, encontra-se o Meio Sólido de amônia que, por nunca ter sido testado em P. brasiliensis, necessitava de testes quanto à viabilidade de uso e ajuste de concentração. Depois de testado a funcionalidade dos meios e observado o padrão de crescimento que o fungo exibe nesses diferentes meios, partimos para a tentativa de isolamento ambiental do P. brasiliensis através de amostras de solo em forma de aerossóis com o auxílio deles. Tendo em vista os resultados obtidos, optamos, também, por realizar a coleta de teias de aranhas, devido a grande aderência que exerce sobre aerossóis ambientais. Os isolados de P. brasiliensis cultivados apresentaram desenvolvimento semelhante nos quatro meios utilizados, indicando a possibilidade de uso destes meios seletivos para estudos ambientais. P.brasiliensis não foi isolado nestas amostras ambientais... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
