Formalização em Epistemologia Genética e Digrafos

One of the principal themes of genetic epistemology is the study of the psycho-genetic and historical-critical constitution of knowledge and its necessary structures. A main topic in this area is the relationship between abstract logical-mathematical structures and the epistemological-psychological structures of the epistemic subject. In genetic epistemology, formalizing and axiomatizing epistemological-psychological structures constitute one of the principal methods for showing the correlation between the two types of structures: the formalization of the epistemological-psychological structureresults in an axiomatic formal system which also expresses the abstractlogical-mathematical structure. In this context, it is interesting to note that some epistemological-psychological structures have been resistant to formalization and axiomatization, as in the case of the structure of concrete operational period groupings. Cases like these lead us to ask if there are general methods of formalizing that are consistent with the results and the general basis of genetic epistemology and genetic psychology, especially with regard to the claim that formalizing is a process, not a state, and that such general methods must therefore conform with the possibility of the continuous constitution of epistemological-psychological structures. In this paper we present some reflections, based on the general concepts of genetic epistemology and psychology and on the logical-mathematical structures of digraphs, on proposing a general method of formalization consistent with the results and the general basis of these two areas, including the possibility of the continuous constitution of epistemological-psychological structures.

Didática para a Educação Infantil: implicações do materialismo histórico dialético e da Teoria Histórico-Cultural

In this article, we discuss the contributions of Didactics for intentional pedagogical action of teachers devoted to children education. In this sense, we initially say to be essential the reflections which aim to search for foundations focused on the mobilization of future teachers for the action-reflection-action about the educational phenomena, aiming at the unveiling, with rigor and objectivity, of its multiple determinations within the capitalist relations . We believe that such unveiling is only possible in the light of a world view, a method and a praxis constituted in unison with historical materialism and its dialectic. Afterwards, we reflect on some of the principles of the Historical-Cultural Theory to understand of the active and mediator role teachers have in the process of humanization of young children and contributions of dialectical materialism to this reflection. Finally are detailed some aspects of a Didactics focused on training teachers for Children and early elementary school years’ education, which have guided our actions as teachers of the Pedagogy Course and reiterated by teachers’ narratives about their experience both in life and teaching, in search of new systematization modes, targeting an educational praxis due to the redefinition (theorization) and on the teaching practice by its very subjects.

Sistema de Comunicação Alternativa na Interação de um aluno com autismo e seu professor

Individuals with autism are often unable to communicate through speech, and the ones that are able to speak sometimes cannot begin or to maintain a conversation. This article presents a case study that observed the communicative profile of a young student with autism interacting with his teacher during classroom activities using adapted PECS. The results demonstrated that the autistic student enhanced communicative initiatives in the interaction with his teacher, and the augmentative and alternative communication system was a facilitating tool used in the communicative learning process.

O uso da informação no âmbito acadêmico: o comportamento informacional de pós-graduandos da área de Educação

This study reports part of a broader research about information behavior of graduate students in Education. The research´s participants were nine masters and doctoral students from a graduate program in Education at a public university. The focus group technique was used to collect the data. The focus group sessions were observed and recorded. The recorded data were transcribed, categorized and then analyzed using the technique of content analysis. The main aspects achieved were: i) Identification’s forms of information resources for research; ii) Internet as source of information; iii) Academic Library’s services and resources use; iv) Training to use of electronic data base; v) Difficulties to perform the search; vi) Advisor’s influence on research development; and vii) Environmental factors that affect information seeking behavior. The main results reveal that the identification of information sources occurs, mainly, through references quoted on studies of the researched area; as well as the advisors’ influence in the information seeking behavior of the participants. The results, also, disclose some environmental aspects, as example, lack of time to search and discomfort caused by the libraries’ environment that influenced negatively the information behavior of the studied group.

Sons e imagens do rádio: A era do rádio

Radio Days de Woody Allen est un film de mémoire: le narrateur ressouvient sa enfance et l´influence du radio dans les années 1940 dans le quotidien dans sa famille. Ce film n´est pas une simple reconstitution historique mais un document pour l´histoire, document visuel en potentiel étudié dans les relations cinema, histoire et mémoire. Dans cette perspective l´analyse filmique discute le méthode suggéré par Marc Ferro pour l´analyse du document d´images en mouvement. Le film est, dans nos cas, un écrivain d´histoire et en même temps un support pour la mémoire: mémoire étendu pour Jacques Le Goff et experience collective pour Walter Benjamin.

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.

Fluxos de informação que subsidiam o processo de inteligência competitiva

Information flows are responsible for the dynamics and the interaction between the various sectors of the organization and among individuals who work in it. By mapping performed in internal and external environments of the organization, it is possible to highlight the informational needs of organizational individual, since they depend on data, information and knowledge to perform their actions in the corporate environment. To meet the information needs of organizational individual need to manage the existing information flows, how it can settle and move effectively in the organizational environment. It is argued that the environments and existing information flows in an organization, subsidize the process of organizational competitive intelligence, since they are inputs for decision making and enable the planning and execution of actions in the short, medium and long term.

Contribuição de Silvio Romero para o currículo da escola elementar no século XIX

Apresentamos uma análise da obra História do Brasil Ensinada pela Biografia de seus Heróis - Ensino Cívico - livro para as classes primárias, lançado em 1890 por Silvio Romero pela Livraria Editora Francisco Alves. A obra teve pelo menos nove edições (a oitava datada de 1908 e a nona de 1913), o que sugere algum sucesso num momento em que os livros de leitura e as cartilhas eram os únicos (ou os principais) livros a que os alunos da escola primária tinham acesso. Concebida para “substituir pela biografia a instrução cívica”, Historia do Brasil evidencia a convergência, no século XIX, da produção de saberes acerca da realidade nacional (particularmente no Instituto Histórico e Geográco Brasileiro e na Academia Brasileira de Letras) com a nacionalização os currículos.
