Origem da vida na terra: um estudo à luz da teoria piagetiana

Ao longo de nosso desenvolvimento, estamos constantemente em contato com temas relacionados ao funcionamento dos sistemas sociais. Sob o enfoque psicogenético piagetiano, observamos, em inúmeras pesquisas, que essas informações são compreendidas por meio de um longo trabalho individual, ou seja, não são incorporadas nas mentes dos sujeitos por absorção passiva. Um destes temas refere-se à origem da vida. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar as ideias de crianças e adolescentes a respeito da origem dos seres vivos. Para tanto, utilizou-se uma entrevista clínica sobre a temática e os dados foram analisados conforme os níveis de compreensão da realidade social. Os resultados apontam que grande parte dos estudantes recorre à explicação criacionista, mesmo tendo contato, no ambiente escolar e nas aulas de ciências, com a abordagem científica acerca da origem da vida. À medida que conhecer os processos cognitivos que perpassam a mente dos alunos é fundamental para embasar intervenções pedagógicas, favorecendo o processo de ensino aprendizagem, pretendeu-se, com este estudo, fornecer informações acerca da construção do conhecimento social, bem como contribuições ao ensino de ciências.

O papel da mediação da informação nas universidades

The information process should be understood as essential to the success of any institution, mainly those that produce knowledge. Information mediation being part of this process must be understood as an action capable of directing the knowledge construction of individuals. The information mediation in universities is a way of mediating the knowledge generated within and outside the university environment, including its specialized audience and to society. Thus the concept of information mediation is discussed in this work and its role within universities and the role of information professionals as information mediators. The social responsibility of universities needs to be reaffirmed into the society and the information is a possible way for the success of this action.

Não aprender na visão de crianças e adolescentes brasileiros: um estudo evolutivo na perspectiva piagetiana

This article aims to present dada from a research about the construction of social knowledge under the Piagetian perspective. Beliefs of children and adolescents about not to learn were investigated. 80 individuals aged 6 to 16 years participated of this study. They had to answer to three methodological tools: a drawing, the analysis of a history and the analysis of a film which involved situations of not learning. It will be presented here the main results of the drawing task.

Results also show that Brazilian individuals are not in advanced levels of understanding of social reality, even at older ages.

Formação do leitor: projeto educativo e constituição humana

The discussion about reading as a cultural practice is a requirement that points to the school relevance to take itself as a social space of meanings construction and the need to use methodologies that focus on the knowledge construction process and the individual development in considering the teaching dynamics that encourage the strategies discovery for individual and collective work, facilitating that human culture object appropriation . The focus is on the relationships in the classroom and school context mediated by language to written language acquisition, with emphasis on reading. This study intends to contribute for the refl ection on the pedagogical implications derived from the organization of a teaching context, intentionally aimed at the teaching organization of reading strategies in the written language acquisition process. The hypothesis is that the reading strategies contribute to the contexts organization with pedagogical coherent and to the competent reader formation during the education act. The studies are based on Brazilian educators Girotto; SOUZA, 2010) and on North American educators (HAMPTON & Resnick, 2008; OWOCKI, 2003; WEDWICH & Wutz, 2008; HARVEY AND GOUDVINS, 2007), with the action research methodology.

A criança de 01 a 03 anos: uma reflexão sobre a evolução da imitação no processo de formação do eu

This investigation aims to observe play contents and elements that make it possible to notice if a child is at the imitation stage. First of all, this study reviews Piaget’s findings about the origins of imitation, and how it develops into representation. After that, “game” is analyzed in order to understand the cognitive representation and how children develop the ability to use symbols. Based on these assumptions, a study was developed into a public school (Profª Maria Teixeira Fittipaldi) with 9 children, aged between 1 to 3. Methodology included the observation of play and activity time; a diary to record the observations; and the analysis of the collected data, based on Piaget’s research into the classification and development of symbolic play. The results show that all observed situations were at the “first stage”, which reveal the apogee of ludic symbolism, and that the kind of game varied according to the child’s age. Moreover, it was possible to notice the importance of symbolic play at preschool, since it triggers world knowledge development and helps interpersonal relationship growth.

Formação Reflexiva do Professor em Contextos Virtuais: A Experiência do Projeto Teletandem Brasil

This article chiefly aims at discussing issues concerning reflective teacher education for and in virtual environments for language learning. Given the need for research on reflective practice in new virtual environments, we present the experience of pedagogical supervision through mediation in the virtual context for collaborative learning in teletandem. Some research results in this context, such as in Salomão (2008), Kfouri-Kaneoya (2008), Cândido (2010) and Silva (2010), show how favorable and conducive to the development of reflective pre-service teacher education it seems to be, as it emphasizes the co-construction of knowledge in a dynamic relationship between theory and practice.
