El área de gestión de la información y del conocimiento como frente de investigación en la Ciencia de la Información brasileña: análisis de la producción científica en el período 2000-2009

The management of information and knowledge has been one of the areas of expertise of the fastest growing Brazilian information science. The purpose of this work is to observe how this research front structure from the point of view of the subjects that compose and intellectual frameworks which supports. For this we have analyzed the content of scientific production published in four majo r national journals of the discipline: Ciência da Informação, DataGramaZero, Perspectivas em Ciência da Informação and Transinformação over 2000-2009. The methodology is based on co-occurrence analysis of keywords of articles and co-citation analysis of authors.

Un uso de la historia en la enseñanza de la didáctica de la Física

It is shown the result of design, implement and analyze an exercise for teaching of Didactics of Physics, based on the use of History of Science as an information resource and point of discussion. We start with two assumptions: (1) currently, in the international level there is a research field that studies the use of History, Philosophy and Epistemology of sciences on education of teachers, which present that this field allows to treat contents of Physics in nontraditional ways, that is to say, beyond to the mathematician vision; (2) one of the dimensions that should be worked on education of teachers, specifically in education for teaching, must be, the (re) connaissance of their disciplinary knowledge, through metacognitive exercises, for which History provides appropriate resources. In order to involve the future teacher in a metacognitive activity that would allow (re) visit some of their knowledge of Physics, we developed an exercise based on research results about the history of the light concept. We analyzed the potentialities of this exercise to educate for teaching.
