As possibilidades de uso de ferramentas da informática: software para análise de dados qualitativos e ISD

The objective of the present article is to identify and discuss the possibilities of using qualitative data analysis software in the framework of procedures proposed by SDI (socio-discursive interactionism), emphasizing free distribuited software or free versions of commercial software. A literature review of software for qualitative data analysis in the area of social sciences and humanities, focusing on language studies is presented. Some tools, such as: Wef-tQDA, MLCT, Yoshikoder and Tropes are examined with their respective features and functions. The software called Tropes is examined in more detail because of its particular relation with language and semantic analysis, as well as its embeded classification of linguistic elements such as, types of verbs, adjectives, modalizations, etc. Although trying to completely automate an SDI based analysis is not feasible, the programs appear to be powerful helpers in analyzing specific questions. Still, it seems important to be familiar with software options and use different applications in order to obtain a more diversified vision of the data. It is up to the researcher to be critical of the analysis provided by the machine.

Atitudes em relação à Bioestatística de discentes e docentes da Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas de Araraquara-UNESP

In this study, the attitudes of students and teachers at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Araraquara (UNESP University) towards Biostatistics were assessed. The Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics (SATS) scale was used as the measuring instrument. The reproducibility of the scale was estimated by Cohen's Kappa (κ) coefficient with linear weighting and its internal consistency by Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α). The individuals were first placed in two groups, according to their positive or negative attitude toward Statistics; then, the association of their attitude with the variables of interest was tested by the chi-squared (χ 2) test at a significance level of 5%. The sample consisted of 272 undergraduate students, 83 graduate students and 24 teachers, predominantly female (78.2%). Among the students, 67.5% participated in the scientific research initial training program. Reproducibility and internal consistency of the scale were adequate (κ=0.7093; α=0.9334). Most of the subjects (74.4%) had a positive attitude toward Statistics. Significant association was found between attitude and functional activity (p=0.0204), the course taken (p=0.0316) and effort (p=0.0002). Thus, it was concluded that the great majority of the participants had a positive attitude towards Biostatistics and that undergraduate students and those who reported good performance in Biostatistics showed a significantly higher proportion of positive attitude than the other students.

O lema aprender a aprender na literatura de informática educativa

This paper makes a characterization of pedagogical conceptions found in the educational informatics literature in Brazil as well as in the work of Seymour Papert given the undeniable influence of this author in that literature. We identified a strong hegemony in this field of learning-to-learn pedagogy by means of constructivism, constructionism, learning projects and pedagogy of competencies among others. We make a critical analysis of these trends in light of the historical-critical pedagogy pointing to a number of aspects that need further discussion, highlighting the problematic opposition between teaching and learning.
