O gênero acadêmico em questão: uma análise sociorretórica de resumos de dissertações de mestrado do projeto Teletandem Brasil

The goal of this paper is to investigate the academic genre abstract of master's thesis in the context of the research project Teletandem Brasil: foreign languages for all. Taking as starting point the concepts of genre from the social-rhetorical perspective we analyzed ten abstracts of theses (a genre which is already legitimized) related to that project (which is a relatively new context). As a result of the analysis, we noticed the occurrence of a phenomenon that we called reduction of rhetorical effort, which consists in erasing rhetorical units that justify the validity of the research described in the abstracts analyzed. Among the contributions of this paper, we can highlight relevant reflections not only to the discourse communities that support the academic genre but also to the researchers who aspire to a place in this niche.

Sentimentos de quem fracassa na escola: análise das representações de alunos com dificuldades de aprendizagem

This research aimed to examine the perceptions of students with learning about themselves and to analyze what their representations are about the judgments that their teachers have of them. The subjects of this study were twenty elementary school students with low academic achievement, of both sexes, from a municipal public school in the State of São Paulo in Brazil. A semi-structured interview containing ten questions was performed. Data was transcribed and processed through content analysis and described in relation to its absolute (N) and relative (%) frequencies. The results indicated that the students believe that their teacher has a negative representation of them, as well as nourish low expectations about their performance and academic progress. The study points to the need to consider social relationships established at school and to promote reflection on the importance of these relationships in the teaching-learning process.

Desempenho escolar: análise comparativa em função do sexo e percepção dos estudantes

This paper discusses the results of an investigation of academic achievement by gender and student perception of the expectations of their teachers. 120 students from the 5th year of primary education municipal public schools in the metropolitan region of Campinas city participated in the research: 60 of the students have satisfactory academic performance and the other 60 have unsatisfactory performance. We used a scale of student perception of teacher expectations and, to measure academic performance, we considered the grade teachers assigned to students. Research results revealed significant differences between boys and girls in the group of students with unsatisfactory performance, because most of them (83.3%) were male. On the other hand, there were no statistically significant differences between boys and girls in the group with satisfactory academic performance, although girls' average academic performance was higher. Regarding the perception of their teachers, we observed differences in both groups. Students with satisfactory performance have the perception that they are more praised and more often chosen to assist the teacher in the classroom while underperforming students believe they receive more criticism from their teachers and are seen as more unruly. The data allow discussing student-teacher bond, the influence of experience at the time of learning and how it influences the interest and motivation of students.
