Qual a maior contribuição do ensino de ciências à sociedade? O que revelam professores da educação infantil ao ensino médio

Este estudo teve como objetivo mapear as concepções de professores de diferentes níveis de ensino sobre a maior contribuição do Ensino de Ciências para a sociedade. A proposta faz parte de uma pesquisa realizada pelo grupo de pesquisa Formação e Ação de Professores de Ciências e de Educadores Ambientais. Os dados foram coletados por meio de uma questão contida em um questionário, com 75 professores. As respostas foram organizadas em categorias relacionadas: à maior contribuição, às características envolvidas e ao elemento objeto da contribuição. Os professores revelam aproximação com discurso hegemônico e distanciamento das perspectivas críticas, indicando a necessidade de problematização da perspectiva política–pedagógica dos professores de Ciências Biológicas.

Autocuidado na percepção de pessoas com hanseníase sob a ótica da complexidade

Objective: This study aimed to understand how patients with Hansen's Disease perceive self-care from the complexity perspective. Methods: Qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study based on the Collective Subject Discourse. Results: Sample composed of 15 subjects, most of whom were married males (66.6%) with a mean age of 52.3 years and were classified in the polarized forms of the disease. The following themes emerged from the DCS synthesis: having Hansen's Disease, drug therapy, self-care and lifestyle. The study provided visibility to the vertical model, which is largely hegemonic in the tradition of public health care policies, showing concern about only treating the disease, disregarding the complex relationships involved. Conclusion: Acknowledging these limitations and setting strategies to change them in favor of the dialogue among interprofessional team members are challenges to further develop self-care practices and to empower patients in relation to treatment and disease.

O reflexo do espelho não mostra a subalternidade: Drácula sob uma perspectiva pós-colonial

This paper aims to make a Postcolonial Reading of the Gothic novel Dracula, written by Bram Stoker.

For this purpose, the theories of three important writers of the Post-Colonialism, Edward Said, Homi Bhabha and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, were studied, as well as the enlightening ideas of Stephen Arata in The Occidental Tourist: Dracula and the Anxiety of Reverse Colonization. It also verified the construction of Orientalism in Stoker's work, and its constitutively hybrid and transparent characters due the speech manipulation with the ideological filter of the hegemonic power. This manipulation also characterizes the fragmentation in the work, which is an indication, among others, of modernity in Stoker's novel
