EDUCAÇÃO MUSICAL: UM ESTUDO A PARTIR DOS PCN-ARTE E DA PERSPECTIVA DE PROFESSORES POLIVALENTES DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL

A fruição artística por meio da música é um modo privilegiado de conhecimento e aproximação entre indivíduos de culturas distintas. A música pode enriquecer o trabalho pedagógico, facilitando a compreensão dos fatos históricos e atuando na formação de sujeitos críticos e conscientes, agentes de seu próprio conhecimento, em um plano que vai além do discurso verbal. A área de música tem uma função importante a cumprir. A música situa o fazer artístico do homem histórico brasileiro, que conhece suas características tanto particulares, tal como se mostram na criação de uma arte brasileira, quanto universais, tal como se revelam no ponto de encontro do fazer dos artistas de todos os tempos, que sempre inauguram formas de tornar o presente explicável. Pode-se concluir da importância da música na prática escolar, que deve ter espaço garantido nas políticas educacionais. O objetivo desta pesquisa, nessa perspectiva, é verificar as recomendações dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN-Arte) fazem quanto ao estudo da música e em que medida tais recomendações se expressam na prática educacional de escolas de Ensino Fundamental. Para tanto, explora-se, como referencial teórico escolhido, os estudos de Montanari (1988) e Barbosa (1983). É uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e se desenvolve por meio de estudos bibliográficos relacionados à temática, incluindo o PCN-Arte, e também da coleta de dados entre professores polivalentes. Os dados obtidos são objeto de análise de conteúdo, de acordo com as orientações de Szymanski, Almeida & Prandini (2004), sendo que as categorias examinadas emergiram dos depoimentos dos entrevistados. O estudo enfatiza o quanto é preciso avançar nas políticas educacionais em nosso País.

The Process of Simulation Authoring/Creation by Chemistry Teachers: A Service Learning Experience

Two case studies are presented to describe the process of public school teachers authoring and creating chemistry simulations. They are part of the Virtual Didactic Laboratory for Chemistry, a project developed by the School of the Future of the University of Sao Paulo. the documental analysis of the material produced by two groups of teachers reflects different selection process for both themes and problem-situations when creating simulations. The study demonstrates the potential for chemistry learning with an approach that takes students' everyday lives into account and is based on collaborative work among teachers and researches. Also, from the teachers' perspectives, the possibilities of interaction that a simulation offers for classroom activities are considered.

Knowledges and practices of successful literacy teachers (Brazil, 1950-1980)

Significant changes have marked Brazilian education in the period focused on by this research. Aiming to understand the configurations of the teaching profession in that period, this work focuses on the issue of the school success in the area of literacy by means of an analysis of the practices of literacy teachers who were at work between the 1950s and 1980s. The research is based on life-history accounts. The study aimed at describing the various experiences of these teachers identifying the knowledges and practices that sustained their successful literacy work as well as the various factors of a social, religious, political, familiar or other nature that, in the history of each of these teachers, favoured the development of a pedagogical style of literacy particular to each one of them. Despite the peculiarities and originality of each history, the success in the literacy process, as the defining feature of the profile of the four teachers, results from two main aspects: first, the autonomy that each one managed to keep in the development of his/her teaching work, particularly in the organisation of the teaching practices that indicated greater chances of a pupil`s learning to read and write; second, their trust in the capacity of every child for learning, independently of his/her social, economic and cultural conditions. Based on this evidence it is argued that the success of the pedagogical work, particularly during the early years of schooling, lies in an ethics of the teaching work with a double implication: first, it requires the teachers` dedication to their pupils, and second, it requires respect for the work of the teacher, so that she/he can maintain her/his autonomy and inventiveness. These aspects indicate the need for reflection on teaching work and a review of current teacher education policies, particularly the policies targeted at teachers working with literacy practices.

Western Australian primary school teachers knowledge about childhood asthma and its management

A total of 164 primary school teachers from Perth, Western Australia anonymously completed a survey of their knowledge and attitudes about asthma. These teachers were active in assisting children with asthma management but most (91.5%) felt that they did not know enough about asthma. Attitudes toward children with asthma were positive; 97% agreed that such children should be encouraged to participate in sporting activities. Specific knowledge about asthma management and medications was, however, poor. This large sample of Western Australian teachers knew more than their European counterparts but asthma training is needed and should be targeted at improving knowledge of both regular and emergency treatments for asthma.

The nurse lecturer role in clinical practice conceptualized: helping clinical teachers provide optimal student learning

Despite the fairly wide reporting in the literature of the ma ny roles of clinical supervision by the nursing teacher, little attention has been given to conceptualizing the relative priorities these roles take during the process of supervising nursing students in clinical practice. The purpose of this paper is to consider the manifestations and implications of conflicting roles when nurse lecturers undertake clinical supervision. Previously published research will provide working examples of issues in a conceptual framework for clinical teaching.

Male Teachers in Feminised Teaching Areas: marching to the beat of the men's movement drums?

Calls for more male teachers are prevalent in current gender debates in education. A dominant argument in this debate is that boys are often alienated from school because of a lack of male role models in feminised areas of the school curriculum and in primary schools. Little research has investigated male teachers' accounts of their work within feminised environments. Drawing on data collected in two research studies in music education, this paper focuses on accounts given by male teachers about (a) practices adopted specifically to work with boys and (b) the role of the male music teacher. Analysis of these data suggests that some male teachers working in feminised areas of the school curriculum adopt practices which, rather than challenging dominant constructions of masculinity, sometimes reinforce gender stereotypical behaviours in boys. We argue that calls for increasing the number of male teachers in feminised areas of schooling need also to be informed by open discussion of the underlying assumptions about masculinity which teachers themselves bring to their work.
