Educação inclusiva: concepções de professores de ciências com relação à inclusão de alunos com deficiência visual em aulas de astronomia

Despite of intense discussion over recent decades about the inclusion of disabled people and the influence of conception of teachers about that inclusion for the effectuation of it, this work sought to identify conceptions of science teachers regarding the inclusion of students with visual impairment in the classes of astronomy providing basis for future studies.

Influência da sociedade no desenvolvimento tecnológico: um estudo das concepções de graduandos brasileiros do Estado de São Paulo

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)

Concepções de professores sobre gestão escolar

This study examined the newly graduated in pedagogy teachers' perceptions of current school administration concepts and practices. It is an exploratory research study with questionnaire using Likert scale closed-ended questions. The results indicate an emphasis on the official view of the school administration and the sharing of responsibilities as a democratic basis. It is concluded that the respondents have basic perceptions, little criticism on the school administration, reproducing, often a government and media discourse on the subject.

Flores carnais: Mapplethorpe e a natureza socio-política da pornografia

O artista norte-americado Robert Mapplethorpe se notabilizou pela plasticidade de seus portraits em preto e branco, mas também pelo escândalo de suas composições, nas quais corpos nus, sobretudo masculinos podiam ser vistos em atos homoeróticos e sadomasoquistas. Considerada como uma arte erótica por uns e como pornografia por outros, o fotógrafo acendeu o antigo debate pornografia versus erotismo. Considerando que tanto uns quanto outros termos, só adquirem seu sentido estético, social e político se pensados contextual e historicamente. Tomamos as fotografias de flores deste autor, para levar a cabo este debate, dialogando, para tanto, com as contribuições de Michel Foucault pelas leituras da sexualidade enquanto dispositivo. Valemo-nos, ainda dos conceitos de ars erotica e scientia sexualis tratado pelo mesmo autor, para estruturar nossas hipóteses, nas quais as flores do fotógrafo são deslocadas do terreno relativamente seguro do erotismo para serem lidas como armas de um terrorismo textual (e visual), aquele que Barthes viu como capaz de 'interveir socialmente, não fraças à sua popularidade ou seu sucesso, mas graças à 'violência que permite que o texto exceda as leis que a uma sociedade, uma ideologia, ou uma filosofia tomam para construir sua própria 'inteligibilidade histórica'''.

Construção e validação de um questionário para análise de concepções bioéticas

In this paper we describe the stages of a quantitative questionnaire development that allows the investigation of conceptions about bioethical values inherent to the scientific activity. This questionnaire was statistically and semantically validated and developed according to the Likert scale. The relevance of this instrument is given by the fact that, unlike what happens in European countries, quantitative research in Brazil has little educational traditions. Therefore, this work is intended to subsidize the use of quantitative methods in Education research that lack such tools.

Os conceitos de ambiente, meio ambiente e natureza no contexto da temática ambiental: definindo significados

We present some clarifications that enable us to identify differences between the expressions nature, the environment and environment. This is not an epistemological approach, but rather reflections on these expressions refer and the implications for environmental issues and hence to Science Teaching. The nature was understood as a complex of real entities, which are capable to be thinking through perception. This same entity when is represented by a mind, become what we call the environment. This expression, in turn, is characterized not only by adding the environments species that are known, but to be a human abstraction. When we consider the uniqueness of each species and organism, which in this environment is inserted, we call environment, this is, the elements that can be seen and on which the organism can act. Thus, we seek to develop a concept broader of environment, which is not restricted to the human species.

Concepções de tecnologia de graduandos do estado de São Paulo e suas implicações educacionais: breve análise a partir de modelagem de equações estruturais

This paper presents some results from a study of undergraduate students from different regions of the State of São Paulo that sought to better understand the relationships between society and perceptions and attitudes towards technological development. Noting that the media, academia and official documents regulating education understand and present the technology in a distinct and often contradictory ways, this paper seeks to review existing literature on the different ways to conceptualize this term, and thereafter, to develop a Likert' scale for mapping the concepts of students. Using the confirmatory analysis of structural equation modeling, this research concludes that the sample studied shows a classical view, but outdated, what means technology, by linking it to science and technology without distinction or critical viewpoints.

Futuros Matemáticos e suas concepções sobre o conhecimento matemático e seu ensino

Taking referential theoretical conceptions of mathematical knowledge present in some of the main mathematics philosophical currents and considering that the teacher´s practice is influenced by his conception of mathematical knowledge, this research aims to understand the conceptions of mathematical knowledge and its teaching and learning teaching of future mathematicians. It follows a qualitative approach (case study) in which the data were collected by semi-structured interviews and document analysis. This investigation has pointed out that Mathematics together with Mathematics Teaching (or part of this: on the didactic and pedagogical knowledge of how to teach) could be important to formation of the future mathematician, who will probably teach in a college or university.

Concepções de alunos do ensino médio sobre o tema água: subsídios para o planejamento de atividades investigativas interdisciplinares

Meaningful learning occurs when new knowledge to be aggregated are grounded in other students already possess. In preparing didactic sequences for teaching concepts, one should take into account these concepts and knowledge to produce more effective and lasting learning, and build new concepts that will become subsumes for subsequent learning. This research was developed in a subproject linked to institutional Scholarship Program Initiation to Teaching (PIBID) of a Universidade Estadual Paulista. The proposal is based on the articulation of the Public School and the University, strengthening the initial training of undergraduates, and continued teacher network, improving the quality of education. The proposed work is based on interdisciplinary research and teaching by investigation. Undergraduates in Biology, Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry jointly propose interdisciplinary teaching activities and investigative applied to high school students of Public School partner. To survey the views of these students on the theme Water, they were asked to draw up an essay entitled "The importance of water", with the aim of organizing information for planning a teaching strategy that articulates the disciplines of training of undergraduates. In this paper we present a qualitative analysis of these essays, performed based on content analysis. The analysis allowed to identify existing concepts in students' cognitive structure and classify them into adequate and inadequate compared to scientifically accepted concepts. Several misconceptions were raised indicating the need to produce didactic sequences that in addition to working the concepts presented in the curriculum of disciplines take into consideration the possibility of more meaningful learning. This research produced the elucidation of existing concepts, indicating where deficiencies were larger. One major contribution was the realization that concepts that may be considered by teachers as simple and already acquired by the students often come so misguided in their explanations. From the results obtained, integrated activities have been planned and implemented, and more relevant to the needs of students aiming to recover and enrich the knowledge they possessed, encouraging the use of scientific concepts and their application to daily living situations.

Reino da natureza, reino dos fins, e proto-reino: um estudo de traduções conservativas

We provide conservative translations from propositional modal logic KT (the simplest normal alethic logic) into propositional modal logic KD (the simplest normal deontic logic), and from this into the propositional modal logic K (the simplest normal logic simpliciter). Following an idea discussed by Jaakko Hintikka, these conservative translations are based on the third formulation of Kantian categorical imperative, the formulation of the Kingdom of Ends.

Conteúdo e forma, percepção e expressão: o ciclo estético de evolução da natureza

This is a theoretical paper that seeks to work, through interrelations, concepts relating to contemporary aesthetics in parallel to phenomenon of perception. It begins with the aesthetic interaction between content and form in order to trace the development of perceptionexpression interaction, inserted into the mutual action of its physical and psychical aspects "through behind" a thinking mind. In order to generalize such interaction to reality itself as a natural and evolutionary cycle, we start from the analysis of perception of more complex organic beings, endowed with consciousness, to extend the question to the simplest organic beings, as even to inorganics. It is based upon principles of equilibrium and unity in diversity to highlight a historical fact that it seems undeniable: that man evolves and this evolution, their perception clears, while that is particularized your experience and aesthetic judgment. Having in the art, the activity can boost an evolution more profound while pleasurable.

Concepções geométricas de percepção e representação da forma no desenho

A study on means of developing of perception and reading of the form by the conception and development of a Teaching Methodology of Drawing with emphasis in its early stages, its development and application in the initial stages of the Design process, dissecting it as a mental and physical process. We will be addressing the contributions of Geometry as a mean of simplification of the reading and materializing configurations as some pointers for addressing the Drawing teaching in the reported course.

O tratamento de questões sociocientíficas na formação de futuros professores de ciências: possibilidades e desafios nas vozes dos licenciandos

The perspective STSE (Science-Technology-Society-Environment) was recently implemented in the training courses for science teachers in Brazil, and proposes greater coordination of scientific knowledge with subjective questions that constitute the science, enables discussion of the nature of science and its implications for social and environmental issues. The present work aims to contribute to training of science teachers that approximates the current demands of contemporary society. Having as theoretical reasons the implications of STSE Movement in science teaching, we bring some considerations on pedagogical practices of undergraduates in Biological Sciences held within its Supervised. Through content analysis of the speeches of undergraduates, we can identify contributions and limitations that treatment of socio-scientific issues (SSI) revealed in the process, putting to discuss some aspects that are tangent training teachers committed to a contextualized view of science and scientific training. It discusses, among them, the relationship theory and practice in supervised training of future teachers’ conceptions about the implications of the STSE perspective in science teaching and science teacher positioning ahead controversial themes.
