O experimento e o lúdico: reflexões sobre atividades didáticas experimentais para o ensino de Física e a ludicidade

In this work, is discussed the importance of experimental activities in Education of Physics in Basic Education from the experience of Supervised Stage and the work with the Initiation of Teaching in the Program PIBID CAPES, in this case linked to the Department of Education of the Institute of Biosciences, Campus Rio Claro, São Paulo State, in partnership with three schools of basic education in the city. At first, based on the work of Ferreira with Instrumentation for Teaching Physics, consider the electrostatic theme. The focus is the searching for equipments constructed with low cost materials and easy access. Were developed and promoted strategies of the use of such materials in Physics’ Teaching, with a view to reintroducing experimental teaching activities in Public Basic Education, in the form Workshop Learning and Teaching of Physics, as well as lessons of Laboratory with the help of script and also in the form of an Experiments Library. These experimental activities were critically analyzed with a focus on playfulness. The focus of work in experimental activities for the Physics’ Teaching allowed to redeem, critically, didactic materials. From the standpoint of playfulness, playful moments and interaction of individuals with the knowledge that provides the experimental material when used strategically, they seem to be of great relevance to the Physics’ Teaching in Basic Education. It is possible to use experiments in Physics’ Teaching in public schools

A China em África- que Desenvolvimento Comum? o caso Cabo Verde

Depois de alcançada a ideologia de Estado e ter defenido assim a sua posição política, com as conhecidas consequências acarretadas, a nova RPC de Mao Zedong caminha, depois da sua morte, para um outro processo de mudança, a mudança económica. A administração Deng assume as responsabilidades de abertura do dragão asiático ao mundo, pela implementação de um conjunto de reformas que conduzam ao desenvolvimento económico. Em algumas cidades, consideradas como “laboratórios experimentais”, apesar das contrariedades constantes à actividade privada levada a cabo, o impacto das reformas foi tão intenso que essas passaram a ser consideradas como modelos de desenvolvimento. São exemplos os casos de Wenzhou, Sunan, e de algumas regiões do Sul da China. Todos esses casos têm em comum os factores envolvidos, que são: o Estado/PCC; as autoridades locais; as famílias; as empresas familiares e a capacidade empreendedora das mesmas. Esse desenvolvimento da China, sem precedentes, faz com que a potência procure fora do seu território recursos que dêem prosseguimento ao mesmo, nesse contexto, encontra em África um novo parceiro. A cooperação entre África e China, apesar de não recente, é a partir de então intensificada, numa relação que se pretende de igualdade e de ganhos comuns. Sempre com vários pontos que definem o objectivo desta parceria, destaca-se o desenvolvimento comum como aquele que perdura desde a era maoísta. Com esse objectivo China investe em África, oferece condições de parceria aliciantes e compromete-se em transmitir ao continente o seu modelo de desenvolvimento. Mas, tendo em conta que África, apesar de poder aprender com o desenvolvimento chinês, não pode fazer depender do discurso chinês o seu desenvolvimento, consideramos os mesmos factores destacados no caso da China, o caminho prosseguido pelo continente para um desenvolvimento sustentável, e analisámos o caso específico de Cabo Verde, onde a presença chinesa, a sua actuação empreendedora e competitividade se fazem sentir na vida diária dos cabo-verdianos, com algumas lições a transmitir para o desenvolvimento futuro do país, perspectivando este futuro a curto, médio-prazo.

Los datos obtenidos de las encuestas de ambos sujetos están referidos a: la existencia o no de infraestructura de laboratorio en las escuelas, las características de sus participaciones en los laboratorios y la frecuencia de realización de los mismos. Complementan esta información sus opiniones expresadas en las respuestas a las entrevistas, donde se destaca el papel que atribuyen a los experimentos en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Los resultados indican un incremento en la motivación y en la asimilación de los contenidos por parte de los alumnos que participaron en las demostraciones experimentales en las escuelas con infraestructura de laboratorio. Se manifiestan también limitaciones en el orden material con énfasis en las escuelas más alejadas del centro de la ciudad de Santiago de Cuba y de preparación de los profesores para una eficiente utilización del instrumental que poseen en función de la docencia.

Conduções cênicas: A “Açon” e o movimento através dos princípios e procedimentos metodológicos de Gilles Gwizdek

The research identifies and describes the principles and methodological procedures of the director Gilles Gaetan Gwizdek on the transposition of the dramatic text to the space of representation through action and movement. Besides that, it presents the results of the experiment in two different labor camps and conducting modes: the no-actor student, inserted into the basic education, and the actor-student, inserted in higher education. Through the scenic paths encountered by the director, the individuals were could find their own ways and verify, through the scenic conductions, how such methodological procedures can achieve a pedagogical thinking about the actor's work. As theoretical referential, were studied the artists-educators: Jacques Copeau, in what sensitizes to the use of dramatic text, and Jacques Lecoq, it approaches of the physical use of the actor's body to the theater. The concepts about theater of the scholars in theater: Constantin Stanislavski, Eugênio Barba, Meyerhold, Eugênio Kusnet, Bertold Brecht go through the theoretical revisions of the thinkers: Odete Aslan, Patrice Pavis, Ney Piacentini, Lúcia Romano, Flávio Desgranges e Anne Bogart, in what affects their practical experiences and conceptual about the text, the action and the movement. It was analyzed also the practical experience based on the principles and methodological procedures of Gilles director, in rehearsals and performances of students in the ninth grade of the primary school the Basic School of the Federal University of Uberlândia - ESEBA, as also, of the students of the sixth, seventh and eighth period, of the Theater Graduation in the same university. From this analysis, it was proposed an interrelation between the theoretical and practical works, done by reading of the artists-educators about movement and Gilles Gwizdek in his work process. The research suggests that, from the movement, the student can build autonomously a character through the experience of small movements of the body. Thus, this student would increase his relationship between stage and audience, and consequently, he would cause a possible state of "seduction" of the spectator to the spectacle.

Formação de educadores de infância e professores do 1º ciclo para a prática das ciências experimentais

O Ensino Experimental das Ciências é fundamental para que os cidadãos adquiram conhecimentos, competências, capacidades e valores necessários para viver na sociedade atual. As novas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação propiciam uma cidadania participativa, crítica, uma nova forma de aprender e ensinar e também novas conceções de saber. Neste projeto de supervisão clínica conciliou-se a dinamização das Ciências Experimentais com as novas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação proporcionando-se assim não só a formação contínua de docentes do Pré-Escolar e do 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico em exercício, mas também o desenvolvimento de competências nestas duas áreas por parte das crianças envolvidas. Este trabalho baseou-se na metodologia de investigação-ação, foi desenvolvido nos laboratórios de Biologia e de Geologia da Escola Secundária Cacilhas-Tejo, e envolveu uma turma de crianças do Pré-Escolar e uma escola com seis turmas de alunos do 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, do 1º ao 4º ano de escolaridade. As atividades experimentais/laboratoriais foram planificadas, avaliadas e feita uma reflexão de modo a adequar objetivos e estratégias. Para a concretização desta investigação foram utilizados vários recursos e para a sua avaliação várias fontes de dados, os quais foram recolhidos em diferentes momentos do desenvolvimento do mesmo. Ao longo deste estudo, que se focou no segundo ano do desenvolvimento do projeto “Experimentar a Brincar”, recolheram-se dados pela observação participante e pelo diário do investigador. No final realizaram-se entrevistas, às docentes que participaram no projeto. Outra fonte de dados utilizada consistiu nos relatórios finais do primeiro e do segundo ano de implementação do projeto. Na avaliação final deste trabalho de investigação-ação concluiu-se que tinham sido melhoradas as práticas de ensino dos docentes do Pré-Escolar e do 1º Ciclo no âmbito das Ciências Experimentais, ocorrendo assim formação contínua, levada a cabo através do trabalho colaborativo, patente no desenvolvimento de vários tipos de competências nas crianças envolvidas.

VirtualLabs@UMa: uma plataforma personalizável para a realização de actividades experimentais

Os presentes métodos de estudo complementar fora de aulas adequam-se a um contexto mais teórico onde alunos, necessitam somente de manuais escolares ou acesso a um computador para complementar os seus estudos e atingirem os objectivos. O mesmo não se enquadra para cadeiras ou contextos mais práticos como por exemplo química ou biologia. Nestes contextos normalmente necessitamos de um laboratório ou localização específica onde se encontra as condições mínimas para a realização destes exercícios ou ensino. Actualmente existem laboratórios virtuais que vêem suplantar esta necessidade, mas os nossos estudos indicam que estes não são capazes de se adaptar a novas actividades sendo necessário desenvolver um laboratório específico para cada actividade. Neste contexto, a principal contribuição desta dissertação de mestrado é a proposta e o desenvolvimento de uma aplicação de Realidade Virtual, que seja capaz de adaptar-se facilmente às novas actividades laboratoriais de forma a personalizar as tarefas a serem realizadas pelos alunos, e que possa ser acedido através da plataforma Moodle. A aplicação desenvolvida proporciona aos alunos uma melhor percepção da forma como a actividade será realizada e prepara-os para realiza-la com sucesso num ambiente real.

Professores de ciências naturais: necessidades formativas para ensinar a medir em trabalhos práticos e experimentais

This paper presents a research realized with Physics, Chemistry and Biology teachers, and it aimed to evaluate: 1) the development level of those teachers regarding the abilities that make possible to teach high school students about how to measure in practical and experimental work; 2) the formatives necessities regarding those abilities; and 3) the order of priority for teacher´s formation regarding those abilities. The study is based on the activity theory, from A. N. Leontiev (1983), since we considerer the teacher´s formation a kind of activity for which the category necessity is source of motivation and in which is a necessary condition for professionality and for the professional development. A questionnaire with open and closed questions was applied to 116 teachers during three pedagogic workshops realized to dynamize the science laboratory. The instrument allowed us to obtain the personal and professional profile of the participants, as well as their development level, their formative necessities and their order of priority about the teaching of the abilities related to the work of testing measuring hypothesis, regarding: a) to operationalize variables of a hypothesis in experimental work; b) to measure in practical and experimental work; c) to estimate possible measuring mistakes and use proper procedures to minimize them; d) to estimate the validity of a measuring; and e) to estimate the confiability of a measuring. The research results indicated some limitations of the teachers about their development level in all the analyzed abilities. More than 90% of the teachers considered those deficiencies as necessities of the continuing formation. Most of them (about 54%) expressed immediate priority for formation in each one of the abilities. From a correlation, using the statistic chi-square test, between the development level and the formative necessities for the five abilities, the obtained results allow us to assure that, for all those teaching abilities, there is a strong correlation between the development level and the formative necessity. This situation is symptomatic of the importance of approaching more the science teaching and the teacher´s formation on practical and experimental work in high school as key-component of scientific education in basic education. The obtained results can contribute, as subsidy, for continuing formation courses, having as base the necessities that constitute motivation elements of the teachers for professional development

Atividades experimentais no ensino de biologia em escolas públicas do estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil: caracterização geral e concepção de professores

Recent research has revealed that the majority of Biology teachers believe the practice of experimental activities as a didactical means would be the solution for the improvement of the Biology teaching-learning process. There are, however, studies which signal the lack of efficiency in such practice lessons as far as building scientific knowledge is concerned. It is also said that despite the enthusiasm on the teachers‟ part, such classes are rarely taught in high school. Several studies point pedagogical difficulties as well as nonexistence of a minimal infrastructure needed in laboratories as cause of low frequency in experimental activities. The poor teacher performance in terms of planning and development of classes; the large number of students per class; lack of financial stimulus for teachers are other reasons to be taken into account among others, in which can also be included difficulties of epistemological nature. That means an unfavorable eye of the teacher towards experimental activities. Our study aimed to clarify if such scenario is generalized in high schools throughout the state of Rio Grande do Norte Brazil. During our investigation a sample of twenty teaching institutions were used. They were divided in two groups: in the first group, five IFRN- Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte schools. Two of those in Natal, and the other three from the country side. The second group is represented by fifteen state schools belonging to the Natal metropolitan area. The objectives of the research were to label schools concerning laboratory facilities; to identify difficulties pointed by teachers when performing experiment classes, and to become familiar with the conceptions of the teachers in regarding biology experiment classes. To perform such task, a questionnaire was used as instrument of data collecting. It contained multiple choice, essay questions and a semi-structured interview with the assistance of a voice recorder. The data analysis and the in loco observation allowed the conclusion that the federal schools do present better facilities for the practice of experimental activities when compared to state schools. Another aspect pointed is the fact that teachers of federal schools have more time available for planning the experiments; they are also better paid and are given access a career development, which leads to better salaries. All those advantages however, do not show a significantly higher frequency regarding the development of experiments when compared to state school teachers. Both teachers of federal and state schools pointed infra-structure problems such as the availability of reactants, equipments and consumption supplies as main obstacle to the practice of experiments in biology classes. Such fact leads us to conclude that maybe there are other problems not covered by the questionnaire such as poor ability to plan and execute experimental activities. As far as conceptions about experimental activities, it was verified in the majority of the interviewees a inductive-empiric point of view of science possibly inherited during their academic formation and such point of view reflected on the way they plan and execute experiments with students

Laboratório didático: perspectivas experimentais do ensino de física no nível médio

Here we present an exploratory study on the use of laboratory teaching in four schools of Basic Education in Rio Claro, SP, three of them high school and one of the second cycle of basic education, developed in the years 2011 and 2012, under activities of the course Prática de Ensino e Estágio Supervisionado, the Degree in Physics - UNESP, Rio Claro campus and work with Pibid (Projeto Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência) in agreement UNESP CAPES Notice 2009. Initially, we diagnose the situation and identify the laboratories using them for Teaching Physics, from direct observation and contact with teachers. Based on the experimental realization of educational activities in such schools, we discuss different teaching strategies, and using experiments built with inexpensive materials (Ferreira and Ramos, 2008). We analyzed the role of the teaching laboratory in the development of skills and abilities of students, related to the teaching and learning of Physics, as well as aspects concerning the use of instructional laboratories

Desempenho analítico de laboratórios prestadores de serviço na determinação de metais em águas

Analytical laboratories are expected to produce reliable results. Decision makers are guided in their actions (financial, legal and environmental) using analytical data provided by numerous laboratories. This work aimed to evaluate the analytical performance of Brazilian laboratories on producing trustworthy results. Nineteen laboratories, accredited and non-accredited ones, were contracted to analyze a USGS (United States Geological Survey) certified water sample for 17 chemical elements (mostly metals) without knowing the origin of the sample. Considering all the results produced, only 35% of them were valid. Three laboratories present satisfactory performances, whereas the majority showed a very poor overall performance. The outcomes of this work show the need for a more effective analytical quality program to Brazilian laboratories.

Rigidez do papelão ondulado: comparação entre resultados experimentais e os obtidos por cálculo analítico

Cardboard packing for horticultural products has as main function to protect them. The design of a cardboard packing request the knowledge of the bending stiffens which is depending on the modulus of elasticity. The objective of this work was to calculate the cardboard modulus of elasticity from data obtained in laboratory using physical characterization test, with different methods, and comparing the results with the values obtained experimentally. Ten samples of each cardboard selected for this study were tested in the paper fabrication direction and in its transverse direction. The papers liner and medium resistance to the traction, used to calculate the bending stiffness, was determined in a universal machine test. To obtaining of the bending stiffens the four points test was accomplished. Expressive variations among the methods from which the modulus of elasticity is obtained were observed and that influence the bending stiffness of the structure. The stiffness values obtained experimentally were always greater than the values obtained from analytical method. This difference can be attributed to two factors, the production processes that assurance a larger rigidity than the components separately and the addition of the adhesive layer that is not taken in consideration in the analytic calculations.

Plasticidade neural: relações com o comportamento e abordagens experimentais

Behavioral adaptiveness to different situations as well as behavioral individuality result from the interrelations between environmental sitmuli and the responses of an organism.These kind of interrelationships also shape the neural circuits as well as characterize the plasticity and the neural individuality of the organism. Studies on neural plasticity may analyze changes in neural circuitry after environmental manipulations or changes in behavior after lesions in the nervous system. Issues on neural plasticity and recovery of function refer both to physiology and behavior as well as to the subjacent mechanisms related to morphology, biochemistry and genetics. They may be approached at the systemic, behavioral, cellular and molecular levels. This work intends to characterize these kinds of studies pointing to their relations with the analyis of behavior and learning.The analysis of how the environmental-organismic interrelationships affect the neural substrates of behavior is pointed as a very stimulating area for investigation.
