Avaliação e Projeto Pedagógico: uma relação amorosa na prática da educação de jovens e adultos

Este artigo instiga uma reflexão sobre a avaliação no sentido de conhecer o educando para qualificar suas atitudes, habilidades e conhecimentos tendo como objetivos a tomada de decisões sobre o que, como e quando re-planejar e planejar as ações pedagógicas. Avaliar com a disposição de acolher o outro no seu ser e no seu modo de ser, como o outro está para a partir daí, decidir o que fazer. Refletir sobre as possibilidades de atividades que emergem das atividades do dia a dia buscando através do diálogo os profundos sentidos da linguagem-pensamento e realidade, cuja transformação trará novas necessidades de expressão. O Projeto Pedagógico se inicia quando nos permitimos dialogar com a comunidade para conhecê-la, o nosso plano de aula terá a proposta dialogada e refletida com os educandos fazendo emergir o tema gerador e a sua problematização. Os conteúdos curriculares serão os conhecimentos sócio/culturais desenvolvidos pela humanidade por necessidades históricas.

HIV attitudes and practices among professors in a Brazilian dental school.

Although there is considerable published research on Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), individual biases persist because of lack of information regarding HIV virus transmission. As a result, both infected patients and health care professionals suffer. The objective of this study was to determine if there is prejudice among university professors at the School of Dentistry at Aracatuba's Sao Paulo State University (FOA-UNESP) concerning HIV-positive patients or HIV-positive health care professionals. Out of the seventy-seven professors who responded to the questionnaire, 62.3 percent (forty-eight) stated that they advise their students not to refuse to treat a patient with HIV. Although 96.2 percent (fifty-two) of the fifty-four professors who treat patients have reported that they treat patients who are HIV-positive, only 65.3 percent of them were aware of infection control precautions, and only 32.7 percent reported that they would treat an HIV-positive patient like any other patient. There is also prejudice regarding HIV-positive professionals because only 48.1 percent (thirty-seven) of the professors responded that they would be willing to be treated by an infected professional. It can be concluded that there is prejudice among some of the FOA-UNESP university professors regarding individuals who are HIV-positive.

Attitudes about inclusion by educators and physical educators: Effects of participation in an inclusive adapted physical education program

This study assessed the attitudes about the inclusion of students with disability by professionals in education and health, relative to their experience and training. We compared three groups: 20 teachers and trainees who worked in an adapted physical education program (GI); 75 professionals from the municipal education system of Rio Claro subdivided according to their experience-CGyes e CGno, respectively, with and without experience. We used the inventory adapted by Palla (2001) to assess participants' attitudes and self-concepts. Overall, individuals in the group that participated in the intervention maintained their tendency of being favorable toward inclusion. Teachers in regular school settings in the municipal school system of Rio Claro (Sao Paulo, Brazil), regardless of their experience with inclusive settings, remain mostly indecisive about the benefits of inclusion.

Initial stages of attitude’s instrument adaptation to brazilian sports competitions

The aim of this study was to adapt and initiate validation of an instrument of attitudes toward mathematics to sports competitions. So through a correlational study, we adapted the instrument counting on a total sample of 260 young athletes (n=260), all students, divided into three rounds, and the confirmatory purpose we apply a pre competitive stress scale in order to show mappable symptoms. An initial reliability of the instrument, Alpha 0.83 to negative attitudes, and 0.90 for positive attitudes, with the average results of 2.52 (±0.86) to negative attitudes and 4.66 (±0.84) was determined for attitudes positive; we conclude that the instrument performed well in this first test, and should be applied in a larger sample, by un mounting this case study that young athletes have positive attitudes toward sports competition, so they enjoy participating in the competition.
