Cursos superiores de tecnologia: igualdade jurídica e dualidade na escola

Since the 1990s, higher education technology courses in Brazil have greatly expanded the offer of courses and places. However, the high dropout rates presented in these courses led to a research in order to uncover the factors that lead students to dropout. Through literature review and desk research, this study makes a historical analysis of how professional education is conducted in Brazil. This paper seeks to demonstrate that the implementation of public policies for professional education exacerbates the school’s duality. However, such duality generates contradictions between subjective and objective issues produced by the ideology disseminated by public policies and government actions in relation to vocational education. These contradictions end up unveiling the social inferiority of vocational education and discourage students from remaining in the courses. The legal equality between educational levels seeks to mediate the emergence of these contradictions. However, despite legal equality, social equality is not achieved in the implementation of public policies, leading to a high dropout rate.

A classificação bibliográfica no contexto do tratamento temático da informação: um estudo com o protocolo verbal individual em bibliotecas do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (IF´s)

The discussions that underpin the process of bibliographic classification in documentaries systems should be designed with scientific basis and theoretical, rather than only be based on professional practice. The theoretical approaches, however, attention should also be involved in professional practice. From this, the present study seeks to demonstrate through the perception of catalogers professional, the importance of reflections on the activity of Thematic Treatment of Information, especially the bibliographic classification in order to engender the strengthening of the area and improvements in product quality and services resulting from libraries. In this context, was carried out a study in the libraries of two Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (IF’s) located in two different states of southeastern Brazil. Technique was employed introspective data collection Verbal Protocol in Individual mode, having qualitative character.

Recursos de Alta-Tecnologia Assistiva Disponíveis no Mercado Nacional:ferramentas para alunos com paralisia cerebral

In Brazil, the interest on the applicability of assistive technology resources in the school environment has grown for children with cerebral palsy, according to the evidences on the diffi culties in their process of scholarization. The objective of the project was the construction of a data base about the resources of high assistive technology in the national market, indicated for the use in the classroom environment for children with cerebral palsy, with the purpose to systemize information, to assist in the selection, prescription and implementation of this type of resource. From a search in the literature available in existing national sites, a computerized archive on the availability of these resources was constructed, having as parameters the applied methodology already used in previous study. Therefore, information on adapted resources had been systemized, constituting an accessible source of data to all the interested parties, aiming to contribute for a effective implementation of these resources in the promotion of the scholarization of children with cerebral palsy in the country.

Formação do professor para o uso de tecnologia assistiva

The specialized teachers' training to work in multifunctional resource classrooms still has to reach a satisfactory level. These teachers are expected to keep a set of resources and devices used to teach a wide range of students with different disabilities. That fact leads to reflection by the academic community. Thus what specific content should such training address? This paper aims to analyze the set of resources and equipment in a classroom and infer the teaching knowledge underlying their use. The analysis was conducted by classifying 63 resources and equipment items, which led to three categories: 1) set of materials that do not require academic knowledge; 2) set of materials that require academic knowledge related to any training course for teachers; 3) set of materials that require specific academic knowledge on working with students with disabilities. It concluded that around 36% of the resources do not require academic knowledge to be used; 35% of these resources and equipment require some academic knowledge to be properly handled, and around 29% of these resources and equipment require specific academic knowledge of their content. For instance, a specific training of those resources is necessary for acting with students with severe communication disorders, multiple disabilities and visual impairment or deafness.

Tecnologia assistiva para a criança com paralisia cerebral na escola: identificação das necessidades

Studies about Assistive Technology have emphasized the need to integrate resources, services and strategies for inclusion and special education to foster the learning process and skill development of students with disabilities. The literature describes that the first step towards implementing assistive technology in schools should enable professionals to understand the situation involving the student in order to expand his or her participation in the teaching and learning process. This study aimed to identify the need for assistive technology services, resources and strategies for students with cerebral palsy in school. Two children with cerebral palsy and their teachers were selected. The data collection phase included three successive procedures: interviews with teachers, completing the identification protocol of the school routine and participant observation conducted in the classroom using filming and field diary. Based on the material gained from these three procedures, data triangulation was proposed, i.e., grouping information in a single document in order to establish categories of analysis. After preparing the material, the categories were assessed by judges from the field of knowledge. The results showed that after understanding the situation of the disabled student within the school context, it was possible to establish his or her skills and needs to indicate the appropriate assistive technology resources for the teacher's planning and thus provide proper teaching and learning for the children with disabilities. The study identified the need to establish specific procedures, an organized pedagogical plan and participation of health professionals as consultants on using assistive technology in school.

O cerrado da Escola do Meio Ambiente traduzido em saberes para a sua preservação

O Cerrado é uma vegetação que já chegou a ocupar mais de 2 milhões de quilômetros quadrados, o que correspondia a 22% do território nacional. Ele vem sofrendo intensas agressões e interferências do homem e, por isso, está quase desaparecendo. O município de Botucatu possui muitos remanescentes deste bioma, e um deles está situado na Escola do Meio Ambiente/EMA (22°55'23”S e 48°27'28”W), local onde foi realizado o presente estudo. O objetivo deste trabalho é a produção de uma publicação sobre o bioma Cerrado. Para a produção deste material levou-se em conta os dados de um levantamento florístico do fragmento de Cerrado inserido na àrea da EMA, bem como dados de um questionário, que visa testar a hipótese de que a maioria das pessoas desconhece a vegetação deste bioma, desconhecendo inclusive que ela existe em Botucatu. Com dez perguntas abertas e fechadas, este questionário foi aplicado à pessoas que trabalham e/ou frequentam sete instituições (E.E. Parque Residencial 24 de Maio, E.M.E.F. Nair Amaral, PSF - Posto Saúde da Família do Jd. Aeroporto, ITE - Instituto Toledo de Ensino, FATEC - Faculdade de Tecnologia de Botucatu, ETA - Estação de Tratamento de Água e a Fundação CASA - Centro de Atendimento Socioeducativo ao Adolescente de Botucatu) situadas no mesmo bairro ou bairros vizinhos à EMA, locais onde, ainda, existem remanescentes desta vegetação. O levantamento florístico no fragmento de Cerrado da EMA mostrou que até o momento foram identificadas cinqüenta e duas espécies vegetais. A análise dos questionários demonstrou o desconhecimento dos entrevistados em relação à Flora do Cerrado local. Após a análise dos dados ficou clara a necessidade de produção de um material sobre este bioma, assim como acentuar a importância do trabalho de Educação Ambiental realizado na EMA
