Um olhar sobre a formação de professores de matemática a distância

Os professores de Matemática, assim como os que ensinam as demais disciplinas nos cursos de nível fundamental e médio, deparam com vários fatores desestimulantes:fraco desempenho dos alunos, currículos desinteressantes, deficiência na própria formação. Diante desse quadro, a autora investigou uma alternativa à formação tradicional de professores de Matemática. Ela analisa a educação a distância para tentar identificar se esse meio seria adequado para promover tanto a formação inicial quanto a continuada dos docentes da disciplina. Ela se baseia em um caso exemplar: o curso de licenciatura em Matemática a distância do Centro de Educação Superior a Distância do Rio de Janeiro (Cederj), que integra a Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB), ligada ao Ministério da Educação. O curso serve de modelo para outros cursos da UAB. A autora apresenta a implementação do projeto desde a etapa inicial, avaliando documentos e um grande volume de entrevistas, principalmente com alunos formados no curso, mas também com professores e gestores. O estudo capta diversos aspectos do curso da Cederj/UAB, como as expectativas dos alunos em relação ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem, as dificuldades que encontraram, a forma como tinham acesso às aulas a distância, o comportamento diante dos colegas nos encontros presenciais e os resultados práticos da formação. As conclusões da autora incluem pontos positivos e deficiências, mas ela levanta subsídios importantes para a discussão sobre o uso do instrumento educação a distância na formação de professores de Matemática.

Perfil dos professores participantes da 2ª edição do curso de LIBRAS a distância: uma propsota de formação continuada no contexto educacional inclusivo

This research presents an analysis of the profile of participants in the second edition of the Extension Course “Libras by distance: a proposal for continuing education of teachers in inclusive educational settings”, funded by the Program for Continuing Education of Teachers in Special Education, the SEESP / MEC and the support of the UAB, whose goal was to promote a theoretical-practical-discourse on the importance of Libras in deaf education. The course was developed by the School of Philosophy and Science of UNESP / Marília, in distance mode. practicing teachers in public schools, linked to 19 Departments and / or Directors of Education in several regions of Brazil took the course. The information was collected from the questionnaire responses of the diagnostic evaluation performed in the pre-registration course. In general, the information was about place of residence, marital status, family constitution, educational training and professional experience in special education. We performed quantitative analysis and descriptive statistics on the data. The information presented refers to a summary of results for the total sample investigated.

Atendimento Educacional Especializado: análise do índice de evasão de professores em curso de pós-graduação, na modalidade a distância

This research aims to investigate the possible causes for the dropout of participants under instruction in distance courses. Data gathered from the Specialization Course in Specialized Educational Support Services - SES, sponsored by the Department for Continuing Education, Literacy and Diversity of the Ministry of Education - SECAD / MEC - and the Open University of Brazil – OUB, will be analyzed. The objective of the course is to graduate teachers who work in classrooms equipped with multifunctional resources in regular schools to give specialized educational support for students with special educational needs marked by disabilities, global development disorders and high abilities/highly gifted students. In order to analyze dropout data in the first semester of the ongoing course, a sample of 1349 participants enrolled in the distance course was considered; 216 of these had their enrollment cancelled on request or because they stopped accessing the Virtual Learning Environment - VLE / Teleduc Platform showing no interest in the course. However, the information below aims to present and discuss only the tabulated data of the 98 participants who requested to have their enrollment officially cancelled by submitting the online dropout term. The findings showed the main reasons for dropping out were personal problems, lack of time to commit to an ongoing distance course, difficulty using ICT and the tools available in the VLE. The research also highlighted the importance of developing digital inclusion initiatives as well as on-site supporting poles as a way to soften the barriers of technological accessibility and the dropout rate in this kind of courses.

Reflexiones sobre el papel de la contextualización en la enseñanza de ciencias

The contextualization and discussion about the science role in the social and economical development are unquestionably important for the science teaching process. It doesn’t mean, however, that the scientific-theoretic knowledge and the strategies involved in its construction and application might be neglected. In this way, a dangerous situation is created when the contextualization is assumed as a unique and primordial target in science education. This paper presents a research carried out with 15 future chemistry teachers and the results show a worrying «supervalorization» of the contextualization beside other equally important aspects of the chemical knowledge.

Gênero e diversidade na escola: reflexões acerca da formação continuada sobre assuntos da diversidade sexual

This article aims to discuss reports brought by the teacher the early years of public school in the training course in Gender and Diversity in School (GDS), with regard to the prejudices of gender and sexual diversity. The GDS training course was offered in 2009 and 2010, by the Open University of Brazil (UAB), in cooperation agreement with the Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp).

The course GDS was inserted in the modality teacher continuing education elementary education from the public schools, in the semipresencial way, and it was divided into five thematic modules: diversity, gender, sexuality and sexual orientation, race / ethnicity. In this article, we present the analysis of the memorials written by / the teacher / participants of the 1st GDE course, polo Jau, in the state of São Paulo, that link the learning which was experienced in the course. Were obtained reports about conflicts arising from the dissonance of personal beliefs and professional responsibilities; involvement of the life’s history of the teacher in his performance in the school (subjectivities); transposition of conceptual errors built out of school, between other aspects. It could be observed that the course has destabilized these teachers with some questions about their certainties. The difficulty in changing and transforming concepts and prejudices about sexual and gender diversity was clarified during the course. The course enabled the educators the contact with contemporary questions, reflect on their attitudes and conceptions of education, which can help to transform their practices in school, providing new perspectives on the issue of sexuality
