Inovações didáticas e a concepção de Natureza: a pesquisa colaborativa e desenvolvimento profissional do professor

Using qualitative and collaborative research, this article refl ects on the professional development of high school teachers in the context of activities of an interdisciplinary group of collaborative research that studies and promotes didactic innovations, focusing on the environmental context, and discusses the contribution of research with teachers in the generation of a scientifi c culture. The research project involves teachers of different curricular components (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Geography and History) and researchers from universities in the areas of Education and Teaching of Earth Sciences. For data collection, three focal groups were formed with the group participants. Changes in the concept of Nature among the teachers and changes in teaching topics focused on the understanding of nature were identifi ed. The article concludes that the construction of didactic innovations helps teachers to make decisions about what, how and why to teach subjects that relate nature to society.

Proposta Curricular do Estado de São Paulo: retorno do discurso regulativo da tylerização na educação pública

This paper analyses how innovations and educational reforms affect curricular construction at public schools. It aims at reflecting if the Curricular Proposal for the state of São Paulo preserves the autonomy and identity of schools, if it respects their pedagogical political project, without attempting to homogenize them; how it changes every‐day school life, teacher’s practices, interpersonal relationships and power relations. We depart from the presupposition that this proposal adopts principles of the educational reforms started in the middle of the 90s, such as: adoption of national guidelines; introduction of market mechanisms, generating the fragility of teachers’ representation and their de‐ professionalization; relativity of the State’s role; stimuli to partnerships between public and private institutions in the fields of administration, allocation of financial resources for teaching    and implementation of external evaluating systems. At the same time, official discourse highlights decentralization, democratic administration, community participation. Some of these principles are recurrent in curriculum reforms: emphasis on the knowledge society, pedagogy of competencies and of learning to learn. In this way, we understand that the proposal aims at homogenizing school knowledge and curriculum practices, representing the notion of curriculum as product. We consider that the novelty and relevance of implemented measures demand further research, and that will be implemented by the author in 2010.

A ludicidade e a criança: (des)arranjos no ensino fundamental de nove anos

The anticipation of the beginning of Elementary School for six-year-old children, recently imposed by the Brazilian federal law, brought controversies and debates about the organization of the curriculum, routines, contents and activities, spaces and objects, conduct of behavior of teachers and parents, as well as about the policies of teachers’ training, amongst other issues. The present article, supported by advances of scientific production on children formal education, considers the changes in the concepts of children education and, consequently, in curricular practices. For this purpose, games and fun are taken as object of analysis and discussion, and the playfulness is proposed as a central curricular axle in the initial years of Elementary Education.
