Metodologia de projetos: uma possibilidade em sala de aula matemática

Neste trabalho, apresentamos resultados de uma oficina desenvolvida sob a perspectiva da metodologia de projetos na sala de aula de Matemática, num programa de formação continuada oferecido pela Secretaria de Educação do Estado de São Paulo Teia do Saber, na Universidade do Sagrado Coração USC Bauru SP. Por meio desta oficina, foi possível constatar a viabilidade desta metodologia, bem como a importância da formação continuada dos professores, principalmente por serem fornecidos dados de uma atividade bem sucedida, realizada por uma professora de Jaú interior de São Paulo. Nesta oportunidade, portanto, esboçamos nosso trabalho sobre a metodologia e destacamos a experiência da professora em sala de aula, tal como nos foi relatada.

Educação física escolar: estado da arte e direções futuras

The aim of this paper is to characterize and discuss the School Physical Education as a profession and subarea of research in the broader academic fi eld of Physical Education and educational research. To do that, it initially defi nes the difference between research in School Physical Education from research about School Physical Education, and point out the themes and research hypotheses for this subarea. It also analyses 289 articles characterized as research in School Physical Education, published in 11 Brazilian periodicals, classifying them in the following categories: “level of schooling”, “bodily practice” and “theme”. The results indicate that the majority of studies are carried out in elementary school, in “games” and “sports”, and in descriptive and interpretative research in School Physical Education practices in several dimensions and interrelations. In conclusion, it points to the need to a focus in the research in teaching, the implementation of public curricula, and teacher education. Finally, it alerts to the need for Brazilian postgraduate programs in the academic fi eld of physical education to invest more in research in School Physical Education subarea.

Tecnologias digitais na produção e análise de dados qualitativos

This article aims to discuss the role of digital technology in the process of collecting and analyzing data in qualitative research. We present two qualitative studies, with different objectives and contexts, that illustrate how data can be collected using different media and how they may shape the researcher's analysis and the results. Based on a theoretical perspective in which knowledge is seen as being produced by a collective of humans-with-media, as opposed to an individual or collective of humans, we believe that the technology used to produce knowledge and to analyze the data conditions the findings. Thus, technologies play a key role in doing research and the scientific knowledge generated from it.

A educação ambiental na escola básica: diretrizes para a divulgação dos conhecimentos científicos

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)

Nível de atividade física e imagem corporal de alunos ingressos de um curso de educação física da Cidade de Santo André - SP

The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of physical activity confronting to the real and ideal body image of 65 individuals of both gender (27 women and 38 men) aged between 18 and 37 years old, all students of a Physical Education College of Santo André´s City - SP. The instruments used were the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Short version (IPAQ, 2005) and Test for assessment of Body Image proposed by Stunkard et al., (1983) and adapted by Marsh and Roche (1996). According to the results, male subjects are more actives compared with female, as well as for the real and ideal body image males showed no significant difference, however, the females showed differences between the real and the ideal body image, between the gender no significant differences existed on the real and ideal body image. We can conclude that the students of this Physical Education College mostly presents in moderate or high level of physical activity, showing that the male are pleased with the real and ideal body image, and for a willing female body silhouette thinner ideal than real, with no significant differences between genders, and thus leading us to believe that the physical education College lead the students to experience practical activities becoming them lifestyle most active in search of a better quality of life and wellness.

Movimentos de um movimento: um estudo sobre os significados atribuídos ao escolanovismo e seus ritmos

Um conjunto de depoimentos coletados oralmente e de fontes escritas disponíveis no arquivo inativo de um antigo Grupo Escolar paulista é analisado em paralelo à literatura sobre o Movimento Escolanovista visando a compreender os modos como um ideário se impõe, no cotidiano das práticas escolares, num ritmo constante de avanços e resistências, alterações e manutenções. Ao mesmo tempo, defende-se que o Movimento Escolanovista – ou qualquer proposta educacional – não é um bloco maciço de significados fixos, mas uma leitura, uma mobilização, uma apropriação que, segundo os vários significados a ele atribuídos, implica a efetivação de algumas práticas no interior da escola.

Matemática e arte: incursões na interdisciplinaridade

The complex analysis is, in actuality, a fundamental mathematical object, given its applicability to various areas of science. This paper proposes a more interesting intertwining of mathematical content to the Visual Arts, through computer graphics. The presentation of aesthetic standards, using the “domain coloring” for viewing a complex function, shows that algebraic and geometric properties can be “colored” which makes its study more human, contextualized, pleasant and dynamic, leading to greater ability to understand, to absorb and to create concepts. This work shows the contribution to the interdisciplinarity to study of mathematics.

Entre fadas e alienígenas: desenhos animados televisivos, ética e educação física nos primeiros anos do ensino fundamental

This paper seeks to understand the mediation of cultural products devoted to childhood in the children's play culture. This research focused on a dialogue between the TV cartoons, which are foods to playfulness and fantasy that characterize childhood cultures; the ethics, because the questioning of symbolic mediators (ideas, values, norms, rules) are essential to reflect on the society we want to live, and Physical Education as a curriculum component, shall contribute to the critical mediation of the body culture and the sports arising out from the media, which has close relation with the practical and moral problems that arise in the classroom. To analyze the narrative structures of cartoons we have adopted the comprehensive methodology of Joan Ferrés. Such method suggests a hermeneuticphenomenological approach, which allowed to access Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics; as one interpretative method, it allows the reflection on our values, and also the values presented by the audiovisual product, and possible changes. Successive readings indicate that the narrative structure of TV cartoons responds to a double moral standard, which are constructed from stereotyped models between good and evil, right and wrong, villain and hero, and propose universal role models of conduct. However, some cartoons, mostly based on animé productions, have broader visions of the human common living experiences. We concluded that the current symbolic production of childhood cultures proposes one challenge to the Physical Education teacher: the critical mediation of values related to the movement body culture. Along with the support of moral philosophy, it can target his/her practice for understanding the different manners of (re)creation of the ways, and the living in society.

Aproximações entre as comunidades científica, amadora e escolar: estudando as potencialidades de observatórios astronômicos para a educação em astronomia

This article considers some potential of activities developed in non-formal education in astronomy, like astronomical observatories and other related establishments. This kind of research is less explored in our country. We present, in this text, a model to study possible relations among these kinds of communities: the scientific, the amateur and the professional, applicable in astronomical observatories, in a motion against the local and punctual activities dispersion and pulverization of these establishments, and against the use of common sense to develop their activities, aiming the advancement of the astronomy education and its national research.

Da formação acadêmica à atuação em educação física adaptada: a preparação do profissional de educação física para o contexto inclusivo escolar

This study examines the knowledge of the physical education teacher’s relation with inclusion of handicapped people in their classes. Thus, data were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire administered in 23 teachers of Physical Education. The main difficulties to the implementation of inclusion concerned basically to the lack of applied knowledge. As suggestions, were highlighted: the need for guidance by a multidisciplinary team; continuing education; upgrades in infrastructure and appropriate teaching resources; previous experience of teaching students with disabilities were also related. The data allowed the identification of elements needed to accomplish the inclusive educational physical education purpose and the need of professional prepare to attend the inclusive quests.

O profissional de educação física adaptada em contextos não formais: expectativas e realidades em diferentes perspectivas

This study aimed to comprehend the expectancies and realities in Adapted Motor Activities (AMA), of physical education (PE) professionals, public administration inside special institutions of people with disabilities (PwD), families of addicted people with disabilities and independent people with disabilities, living in Muzambinho City/MG/ Brazil, comparing the reality and expectation of EFA in non formal contexts. Participants were selected using criteria related to the central subjects of this research (PwD), totaling 26 individuals. Data were collected through interviews with audio recording and full transcription. It was found that the reality of APE has been moving in opposite ways than expectations, especially regarding the inclusion in non – formal contexts, starting the needing of reflections and discussions to acting in AMA and PE.

Rúgbi na escola?!... perspectivas de uma proposta diversificada, pautada na pedagogia do esporte para a educação física escolar do ensino fundamental

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)

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.
