A inovação pedagógica em práticas de produção argumentativa nos saraus culturais da AEC-TEA: um estudo de caso

Este é um estudo de caso de natureza etnográfica sobre a prática discursiva desenvolvida no grupo dos Saraus Culturais da Associação Educativo-Cultural Tarcília Evangelista de Andrade, em Capim Grosso, - BA, e é estimulado pela reflexão sobre a necessidade de ruptura do paradigma tradicional que insiste em manter-se sobre as práticas pedagógicas, dentre elas as de produção discursiva, o que anuncia a urgência de inová-las, tornando-as suficientes à aprendizagem articulada com o contexto social dos sujeitos e pela qual estes são os principais responsáveis na negociação do conhecimento com o qual estão a lidar. Assim, procurou-se compreender o comportamento discursivo dos sujeitos no contexto das atividades do grupo pesquisado à luz dos pressupostos teóricos sobre Inovação Pedagógica defendidos pelo Centro de Investigação em Educação da Universidade da Madeira, os quais metodologicamente vinculam-se à pesquisa etnográfica, de forma que este estudo está associado à abordagem qualitativa pelos princípios metodológicos da etnografia, em especial a observação participante, a entrevista aberta e a análise de documentos. Buscou, ainda, no referencial teórico-metodológico da Análise do Discurso, em sua vertente francesa, embasamento para interpretar o funcionamento do discurso na produção dos sentidos e explicitar o mecanismo ideológico que o dá sustentação, o que contribuiu para revelar que a prática discursiva engendrada pelo grupo pesquisado movimenta os sujeitos na história em direção a um comportamento mais crítico. Os dados coletados, entre agosto de 2012 e maio de 2013, permitiram compreender que o referido comportamento é suficiente às premissas da aprendizagem socialmente situada e revela gestos que desmontam o invariante cultural instituído sobre a escola e, ainda, um discurso articulado como prática de movimentação de sujeitos e de sentidos. Considerando essas conclusões principais, o trabalho revela uma proposta comprometida com a Inovação Pedagógica e que pode colaborar na articulação de outras que priorizem os mesmos pressupostos.

Avaliação, portfólio e inovação pedagógica

A pesquisa em pauta teve como seu principal objetivo investigar de forma compreensiva o portfólio como uma inovação pedagógica no contexto social e cultural do colégio da Policia Militar Diva Portela na cidade de Feira de Santana-BA. Ressalta os aspectos ligados à aprendizagem dos discentes diante deste dispositivo avaliativo portfólio e sua eficácia enquanto norteador do trabalho escolar. Procura ainda identificar as características do portfólio e sua característica enquanto elemento documental da trajetória dos estudantes ou das comunidades colaborativas no que tange à sua aprendizagem. Explicita também aspectos comuns às comunidades colaborativas, a partir do momento em que se estudou esta proposta de inovação pedagógica através do trabalho constante em pequenos grupos em processo de colaboração. Para tanto, dialogamos principalmente com os seguintes teóricos: Vygotsky, Piaget, Papert, Freire, Luckesi, Villas Boas, Fino, Sousa, Guber, Macedo e Demo. Optamos pela pesquisa qualitativa e pelo método etnográfico, onde utilizamos a observação, relatos, a entrevista semi-estruturada e não-estruturada. Ao desenvolver este trabalho com vistas a uma inovação pedagógica, espera-se ampliar as possibilidades de aprimorar a metodologia e o trabalho escolar, à medida que docente e discente participam ativamente da construção da sua construção do conhecimento e sua formação a partir de uma perspectiva processualista, característica fundante do portfólio.

O uso do lúdico como inovação pedagógica na aprendizagem de genética: um facilitador no desempenho do aprendiz

A disciplina de Biologia tem encontrado, ao longo de seu percurso, algumas resistências no que se refere ao aprendizado da mesma, particularmente quando se refere aos conteúdos da Genética. Temas complexos relacionados a inúmeras pesquisas genômicas geram polêmicas e levam a discussões, dentro e fora da sala de aula, sobre as sérias implicações de ordem social, ética e moral que advêm desse universo científico. Essa gama de conteúdos relacionados à pesquisa genômica, como organismos transgênicos, clonagem, e especialmente a utilização de células-tronco, leva a discussões sobre os riscos, benefícios e as implicações éticas, sociais e morais provenientes das biotecnologias geradas por essas pesquisas. Para acompanhar essa evolução gerada pelos avanços da ciência, é necessário preparar pessoas com senso crítico e capacidade para participarem dos debates contemporâneos e as implicações que surgem com os avanços científicos e tecnológicos. No entanto, no ensino da Biologia, em especial aquele voltado para a genética, normalmente não existe uma preocupação em familiarizar o aluno com os códigos da ciência, de forma que ele consiga contextualizá-los e relacioná-los com a vida prática e cotidiana, bem como com os aspectos subjetivos com os quais a ciência trata. Este contexto colabora para que o aluno sinta dificuldade em entender e assimilar os conhecimentos dessa pertinência e assim passe a engessar as estatísticas com elevado índice de reprovações na disciplina de Biologia, especialmente nas escolas da rede pública. Portanto, esta pesquisa se desenvolve no sentido de examinar as questões relacionadas à metodologia do ensino tradicional e a prática pedagógica que se utiliza de jogos como instrumentos facilitadores da aprendizagem, buscando, assim, analisar, investigar e verificar as razões das resistências no aprendizado de genética a partir do jogo como instrumento inovador de aprendizagem.

Práticas pedagógico-culturais voluntárias no contexto social de crianças em situação de pobreza de Caruaru-Pe

O presente trabalho analisou as práticas pedagógico-culturais voluntárias no contexto social de crianças em situação de pobreza em Caruaru – PE – Brasil, organizadas por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa de natureza etnográfica. Foram objetivos específicos da pesquisa: explicitar os princípios e pressupostos predominantes destas práticas; analisar as atividades artístico-culturais como meio de construção do conhecimento; analisar se essas práticas pedagógico-culturais são inovadoras. Apoiamos a pesquisa nas perspectivas da interação sócio-cultural de Vygotsky (2007; 2009; 2004), da aprendizagem significativa de Ausubel (1979), da inovação pedagógica de Fino (2000; 2001; 2003; 2005; 2007; 2008; 2009; 2011), da crítica à escola atual de Toffler (1973) e dos novos contextos de ensino de Papert (2008). Participaram desta pesquisa três professoras do 1°, 2° e 3° ciclo e seus respectivos alunos. Como procedimentos de construção dos dados, adotamos o estudo de caso de acordo com Yin (2010) e Macedo (2006). E, como instrumentos, a análise documental de Bardin (2004), Macedo (2009), Lüdke e André (2004); a entrevista semiestruturada (Macedo, 2006; Marcuschi, 1999; Lapassade, 2005), a observação (Macedo, 2006) e a videografia (André, 2008; Macedo, 2006). No tratamento dos dados, utilizamos a análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2004; Macedo, 2009) e a análise microgenética (Meira, 1994; Moraes, 1999). Os resultados demonstraram práticas pedagógicas inovadoras em que as atividades artístico-culturais humanizam e subsidiam a construção do conhecimento pelo aluno. Na análise documental apresenta-se uma prática diferenciada da escola formal. Na análise e interpretação das entrevistas, a docência mostrou-se engajada na afetividade, compromisso com os alunos, autoria compartilhada, reconhecimento como professora pesquisadora e o papel de mediadora na construção do conhecimento, construído com vínculo pessoal com os alunos e destes com a instituição.

Redes interorganizacionais e inovação: o caso do pólo joalheiro de Belém

This work is a case study based on Belém Jewelry Pole, whose main issue is to understand how the social network (which the Pole is inserted) influences on innovation process on this area. The main objective is to analyze how interorganizational networks impacted/impact on the potential for innovation, creating both limits and opportunities for the companies development. The adopted method analyzed the historical jewelry industry trajectory since the beginning of mineral extraction in the city of Itaituba (in the Pará State) until nowadays. Primary and secondary data were used allowing the view of the dynamics of the network during transformation periods of the main involved actors in the process. The prospect of embeddedness structural as analysis technique allowed verifying the quality of interactors ties, as well as the visualization of their structures. During the jewelry industry trajectory was verified a change in the quality of social relations, modifying the information flow, trust and associations of various links in the production chain. Both direct and indirect ties facilitated the access to remote networks entering new information related to new products, processes and market aspects. This interaction has led to raising the innovation potential causing a qualitative and quantitative improvement in competitiveness of organizations. Some embedded ties allowed the formation of partnerships bringing various economic earnings for those involved in the relationship. Thus, it is understood how aspects related to the position, architecture and quality of ties in a wide social network influenced on the innovation process and eventual jewelry industry trajectory

As relações da tríplice hélice no setor da carcinicultura do Rio Grande do Norte: uma análise a partir das abordagens da imersão social e da dependência de recursos

This work consists in a study of the Shrimp Industry in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, whose central issue relates to the understanding of how the Triple Helix (University, Government and the productive sector) interrelationship limits or expands the industry s innovation process. The study aims to understand how the Triple Helix relationship interferes in the innovation process of shrimp in Rio Grande do Norte. As the knowledge becomes the resource key for production methods, the generation of new technologies, new products and processes which demands joint and integrated action of the institutions comprising the Triple Helix: University, Government and productive sector, which possess the essential resources to innovate the process and can be maximized from cooperative relationships between the referred Institutions. Thus, in this work, it was sharply used the pioneering studies of Sabato and Botana (1968) regarding the cooperation relationship between the scientific-technological sphere, the governmental and the productive base, and studies on the Triple Helix approach, proposed by Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff (2000), in which the university has a key role in the process of technological and innovative development of countries and regions, and under which it is assigned to the very University - the character of the entrepreneurial institution, through the concept of entrepreneurial University. Aiming to overcome the criticism of Cooke (2005), regarding the limitations of the Triple Helix approach, in this study it was used - as analytical perspectives - the perspective of social immersion (Granovetter, 1985, 2005) and the theory of resources dependence (PFEFFER; SALANCIK, 1978). The analytical perspectives presented in here, despite of the different assumptions, are essential to eliminate the bias that one only approach can lead (ASTLEY; VAN DE VEM; 2007). The authors arguments focus on the fact that the integration is possible if the researcher acknowledged that different perspectives may have different descriptions of the same phenomenon. As a research strategy, this study is characterized as a study case, along with the proposed objectives - the qualitative method was used as an approach and, depending on the gathering of the sector s historical, a sectional longitudinal view approach was applied (VIEIRA, 2004). The primary and secondary data were used in order to understand the sector s evolutionary process and its inter-institutional relations - regarding the shrimp culture in Rio Grande do Norte - to promote the development, as the content was used for the technical analysis (BARDIN, 1977). The approach of social immersion and resources addiction dependence made it possible to understand that relationships are established within and between each sphere (university, government and productive sector) characterizing a network of low density relationships and strongly internal and external dependence. Based on the speech of Etzkowitz and Mello (2006), a successful Triple Helix strategy of innovation requires not only the involvement and commitment of the parts, within the institutional sphere and among them, but also the development of mechanisms to coordinate the multiple and complex interactions and interfaces, focusing on promoting both environment and context for innovation and learning; it can be acknowledge from study results that the shrimp in the State of the RN, although there are several institutional mechanisms to promote greater integration and technological development, has been presented disjointed - both internally and between the spheres - and under no legitimate practice when facing the innovational promotion and integration institutions. Due to those factors, the central institutions of the network are crucial to the promotion of innovations, spreading through their direct contacts the importance factor of the sustainable competitive activity in the world market and on the national level. However, it may be concluded, from the data, that the Triple Helix relations are interfering in a negative way on what concerns the promotion of innovations in the shrimp industry in RN

Apoio governamental à inovação Tecnológica: análise da indústria farmacêutica paraense

The transformations economical, cultural and social that happen in world ambit they are associated to the intense progress and expansion of new technologies, forcing governments, people, companies and nations to the introduction of new patterns of behavior, forcing, in that way, to the continuous renewal of products and technological processes to maintain the competitiveness, so much among nations, as in the managerial world. In that matter, the technological innovation is recognized as basic factor of maintainable economical competitiveness, being the responsible for the breaking and/or improvement of the techniques and production processes, what presupposes the systematization varied institutional arrangements that they involve firms, interaction nets among companies, government agencies, universities, research institutes, laboratories of companies and scientists and engineers activities. Those arrangements, to the if they articulate with the educational system, with the industrial and managerial section and, also, with the financial institutions, they take the form that Freeman (1987) it coined of national system of innovation, promoted through public politics of CT&I, which seek to induce and to support innovative initiatives in the companies, as well as to establish demands and to prioritize vocations and regional potentialities. In that context of government support to the technological innovation interferes this study, that it looked for to know the reasons of the fragility innovative in the pharmaceutical industry of State of Pará in Brazil, pointed for PINTEC (2005), starting from the point of view of the businessmen of that section. For such, the qualitative approach was used - with interviews directing semi and the technique of the content analysis. The results of the research pointed that the fragilities innovative of the section links to the ignorance of the government support to the technological innovation on the part of the businessmen of the pharmaceutical industry of State of Pará in Brazil

Da bancada ao Bureau: análise do desenvolvimento da biotecnologia no Nordeste Brasileiro sob o enfoque de Sistema Regional de Inovação

The starting point of the present work consisted of investigating the development of biotechnology in the Northeast region of Brazil from the perspective of a Regional Innovation System (RIS). The theoretical framework adopted relied on the approaches and concepts presented by the Neo-Schumpeterian perspective. This framework was chosen because, by means of the Innovation System concept, this literature allows us to analyze the relationships and configurations of actors, as well as the role of the state and of social, science and technology, and economic policies in the studied region. The analysis considered four selected dimensions: physical infrastructure, human capital, scientific production, and funding. These variables were chosen because they allow us to verify the possibilities and limitations of developing a biotechnology RIS in the Northeast of Brazil, and these elements would help in answering the question behind this dissertation. The location of the physical infrastructure was determined by means of bibliographic and documental research and interviews with heads of institutions that do biotechnology research. Regarding human capital, the analysis focused on resource training in biotechnology, highlighting graduate courses and research groups in the area. To measure knowledge production, we delimited scientific collaboration among researchers in the field of biotechnology as the focus of this category. For the funding dimension, information was gathered from reports available at the websites of national and state funding agencies. The data was analyzed through method triangulation, involving quantitative and qualitative research stages. To back the analyses, we revisited the integration policies in the area of Science, Technology and Innovation. Our analysis has shown that these policies play a crucial role in the development of biotechnology in the region being studied. The data revealed that the physical infrastructure is concentrated in only three states (Bahia, Ceará, and Pernambuco). In this regard, the Northeast Biotechnology Network (Renorbio) stands out as a strategic actor, enabling states with poor infrastructure to develop research through partnerships with institutions located in another state. We have also verified that the practices involving human resource training and knowledge production are factors that enable the emergence of a regional system for biotechnology in the studied region. As limitations, we have verified the low immersion level of regional actors, the heterogeneity of socioeconomic indicators, the lack of financial resources, and a low innovation culture in the business sector. Overall, we have concluded that the development of a Regional Innovation System in Biotechnology, based on the current regional dynamics, depends on an effective change in the behavior of the social agents involved, both in the national and regional dimensions as well as in the public and private spheres

Natal Condomínio Clube : inovação espacial nos eixos de valorização da zona sul da cidade

This dissertation is about new real estate development in the southward expansion area in Natal, Brazil, by use of high-rise condos, so-called club-condominiums. The area includes part of the neighboring municipality, Parnamirim, and focuses on the role played by urban developers in the housing market. The main feature in these condos are common areas filled with leisure equipments, allegedly to grant quality of life, comfort and tranquility to residents. The rapid development of the area takes advantage of large plots of land available as well as of urban infrastructure. Overall preference of middle-class sectors for the South area of Natal (and adjoining part of Parnamirim) is also a factor worth of note. For this reason, this part of the city constitutes one of the preferred areas of urban developers. This dissertation includes a discussion of Henri Lefebvre s production of space, emphasizing its tridimensional features. It draws on David Harvey s works to deal with transformations of the built environment regarding the dynamics of real estate markets; in particular, it considers the idea of creative destruction. Finally, the dissertation discusses the concepts developed by Pedro Abramo regarding the forms of operation by urban entrepreneurs, in particular the concepts of urban convention and spatial innovation. For the empirical work, a number of interviews with key entrepreneurs and civil servants were undertaken. In more general terms, it is worth observing that there is a direct relationship between the location of such developments and the process of spatial fragmentation, seen both as a consequence and a strategy of the way urban developers operate

A política empresarial: a responsabilidade social como mecanismo de segurança

Neste ensaio, tomamos como problema as ações da política empresarial no Brasil, em específico a política de responsabilidade social das empresas, por entender que existe nessa iniciativa um status de inovação tecnológica que precisa ser interrogado, pois se inscreve no interior de uma racionalidade que objetiva o governo das populações e tem como instrumento técnico, para realizar esse fim, uma sociedade controlada por mecanismos de segurança. Para tanto, partimos da análise de três procedimentos efetivados por alguns projetos sociais desenvolvidos por empresas brasileiras - a pesquisa científica, o protagonismo juvenil e a metodologia participativa. A referência de análise são textos de diversas naturezas, veiculados por esses projetos e disponíveis ao acesso público.

Inovação educacional no século XIX: a construção do currículo da escola primária no Brasil

O texto busca reconstituir o processo de renovação dos programas da escola primária engendrado no Brasil a partir de 1870, situando a modernização educacional no país em relação ao contexto internacional. Para este estudo utilizamos como fonte de pesquisa o parecer de Rui Barbosa acerca da Reforma do ensino primário e várias instituições complementares da instrução pública (1883), em especial o volume concernente à discussão sobre métodos e o programa escolar. A análise efetuada mostra que a renovação do programa escolar significou para as camadas populares maiores oportunidades de acesso à cultura. Demostra, também, como o programa constitui um projeto político social civilizador, direcionado para a construção da nação, a modernização do país e a moralização do povo.

Inovação tecnológica e o mercado de trabalho do engenheiro cartógrafo

The article focuses on the presence of the technologic innovation and the surveyed current conditions of the cartographic engineer's work market. The methodology is based on forms with objective questions answered by the professionals. The current survey is the fourth one starting in 1995 and the first one with on line forms filled out by the Brazilian Association of Cartographic Engineers - São Paulo Section's web page. The sample was made up with 141 engineers and it revealed numbers that confirm the growing visibility and social recognition of the Brazilian cartographic engineer, although still far from the condition consistent with the territorial extension and the importance of Cartography for the country. The survey shows that the monthly average revenues are of approximately fifteen minimum wages; that the sample has only 13% of employers, although it is the highest percentage among all surveys; that 63 professionals cited 127 times that their organizations are related to technologic innovation at a proportion of two citations per organization; that 69% of the sample are optimists concerned to the future. Other important pieces of in formation to students and professionals will also be discussed in the article.
