Avaliação de língua portuguesa em provas escolares do século XX (1935 e 1963)

The article analyses three school exams of Elementary School, two belonging to a mother and one of her son, which were kept and provided to the researcher by the mother. The first two exams were dated March 30 and November 13, 1935 of the 3rd grade of Grupo Escolar Fernando Lobo in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. The third one was produced at Grupo Escolar Coronel Amâncio Bueno in Jaguariúna, São Paulo in March 28, 1963 in a 4th grade class. The analysed data all together point out school products which are the result of the relationship between teacher, student and school culture. School exams are as important documents as the notebooks in order to understand the school culture, and as this paper tries to indicate, they are the means for the insertion into the world of written culture. The methodology based on the microanalysis of these documents reveals records about the structure of the exams and the Brazilian school curriculum in the teaching of Portuguese as a mother tongue in 1935 e 1963.

Percepção do cirurgião-dentista sobre formação profissional e dificuldades de inserção no mercado de trabalho

Introduction: The evaluation of the perception of graduates is an essential strategy to support the political project educational in universities. Objective: This study aimed to verify the perception of dentists which are working in the labor market, about the difficulties of professional insertion after the graduation, positives and negatives aspects and suggestions regarding the training received. Methodology: This is a qualitative survey conducted with graduates of the years 2000 to 2010, of dentistry course from a Brazilian Public University. A self-administered questionnaire was sent by mail/email to all graduates in the period. The data were transcribed and subjected to content analysis, divided into pre-analysis, characterized by carefully reading floating, material exploration, guidelines for finding the analysis itself. Result: The categories related to the difficulties in early life were: getting a job/workplace, adequate working conditions and low pay, insecurity and confrontation obtained the academic and lack of administrative experience. The perceived positive aspects for the training were: good infrastructure and reputation of the university, integrating teaching-research, teacher-student relationship. The negative aspects comprised the following categories: administrative preparation, lack of integration between content theoretical/ practical, concepts used in the labor market. The suggestions presented are consistent with the difficulties to the beginning of professional life and the negative aspects. Conclusion: The professionals have faced the saturation of the labor market and different reality from those found in academic life. Despite the positive aspects, graduates suggest changes in the course conducted.

Práticas educativas de professores e comportamentos infantis, na transição ao primeiro ano do Ensino Fundamental

The objectives this research are: (a) describing positive interactions established between teacher and student, considering clinical group to behavior problems and non-clinical one; (b) describing behavior repertoire (social skills and behavior problems) of children with and without clinical classification to behavior problems, according to TRF, teacher version. The participants this study were 16 female teachers who indicated and evaluated 32 students - 16 of them presented behavior problems (with BP – clinical group), whereas the other 16 did not (without BP – non clinical group). Students aged 6 years were enrolled in the first year of elementary school. Data collection was conducted through the application of three instruments: TRF, RE-HSE-Pr and QRSH-Pr, as an interview with teachers. Data were categorized and analyzed to compare the clinical and nonclinical groups (Mann-Whitney Test). Overall, this research found that female teachers exert different practices among students who have behavior problems that do not show, being more skilled in the interactions with children without behavior problems and more agressive to those with behavioral problems. Implications for interventions and public policies are discussed.

A relação professor-aluno em medicina - um estudo sobre o encontro pedagógico

A formação humanística do aluno de Medicina é um importante objetivo educacional nas escolas médicas. Parte dessa formação se dá por meio de disciplinas da área das Humanidades, mas grande parte ocorre pelo aprendizado no ambiente cultural e nas relações interpessoais dentro da escola médica, em especial a relação professor-aluno. Com o objetivo de estudar a relação professor-aluno em uma escola médica padrão no Estado de São Paulo, desenhou-se este estudo de caso. Por meio de observação etnográfica e entrevistas em profundidade, obtivemos dados que foram analisados pelo método hermenêutico dentro de categorias analíticas construídas com base no referencial teórico da pesquisa e nos achados empíricos referentes aos tipos de relação pedagógica observados nessa escola. Descrevemos e interpretamos três tipos de relação dessa natureza, baseados na onipotência do professor, na construção de vínculo e na desqualificação do aluno. Em cada um deles, um modo predominante de comportamento estaria sendo ensinado de modo informal, aproximando ou afastando o ensino da ética e da competência relacional. Conclui-se que as relações professor-aluno na escola médica precisam ser alvo de estudo e atenção, assim como a clara definição de um padrão ético institucional para todos, para que se possa alcançar o objetivo de uma formação humanística em Medicina.

L’effetto “età della Terra”. Contratto didattico e principi regolativi dell’azione degli studenti in matematica.

L’oggetto di questa tesi è un fenomeno didattico osservato in due valutazioni standardizzate nazionali INVALSI, legato all’atteggiamento degli studenti mentre svolgono task di matematica. L’effetto, che abbiamo denotato effetto “età della Terra”, è stato interpretato in questa ricerca attraverso l’interazione e il confronto di diversi costrutti teorici che spiegano come questo effetto, che può essere considerato come una tipica situazione di contratto didattico, è generato dalla relazione studente-insegnante ma può diventare più strettamente legato al rapporto che hanno gli studenti con la matematica. Inizialmente abbiamo condotto uno studio dei risultati statistici delle valutazioni standardizzate nazionali (Rash Analysis). Il primo step della sperimentazione è consistito nella preparazione, validazione e somministrazione di 612 questionari a studenti di diversi livelli scolastici e basandoci sui risultati dei questionari abbiamo condotto interviste di gruppo. L’analisi quantitativa e qualitativa dei risultati ha confermato la presenza dell’effetto “età della Terra” e ha mostrato che questo effetto è indipendente dal livello scolastico e dall’età degli studenti, dal contenuto matematico e dal contesto dei task proposti. La seconda parte della ricerca è stata volta ad indagare la cause di questo effetto. Abbiamo infatti individuato un principio regolativo che condizione l’azione degli studenti mentre fanno attività matematica e abbiamo condotto molte interviste individuali per indagarlo. Il comportamento degli studenti intervistati è stato così studiato e classificato con i costrutti del quadro teorico.

An exercises editor for an e-learning environment

One of the most important tenets of e-learning is that it bridges work and learning. A great e-learning experience brings learning into the work environment. This is a key point, the capacity to construct a work environment when the student can develop proper tasks to complete the learning process. This paper describes a work environment based on the development of two tools, an exercises editor and an exercises viewer. Both tools are able to manage color images where, because of the implementation of basic steganographic techniques, it is possible to add information, exercises, questions, and so on. The exercises editor allows to decide which information must be visible or remain hidden to the user, when the image is loaded in the exercises viewer. Therefore, it is possible to hide the solutions of the proposed tasks; this is very useful to complete a self-evaluation learning process. These tools constitute a learning architecture with the final objective that learners can apply and practice new concepts or skills.

Willingness Towards Continuous Assessment

Among the factors that affect the convergence towards the European Higher Education Area, university teaching staff's motivation is fundamental, and consequently, it is crucial to empirically know what this motivation depends on. In this context, one of the most relevant changes in the teacher-student relationship is assessment. In fact, the transition from a static assessment -focused on only one temporal point (final exam)- to a dynamic assessment, will require changes in thought and action, both on the part of teachers and students. In this line, the objective of this paper is to analyze the determinants of teaching staff's predisposition to the continuous assessment method. Specifically, we consider the following explanatory dimensions: teaching method used (which measures their degree of involvement with the ongoing adaptation process), type of subject (core, compulsory and optional), and teacher's personal characteristics (professional status and gender). The empirical application carried out at the University of Alicante uses Logit Models with Random Coefficients to capture heterogeneity, and shows that "cooperative learning" is a clear-cut determinant of "continuous assessment" as well as "continuous assessment plus final examination". Also, a conspicuous result, which in turn becomes a thought-provoking finding, is that professional status is highly relevant as a teacher's engagement is closely related to prospects of stability. Consequently, the most relevant implications from the results revolve around the way academic institutions can propose and implement inducement for their teaching staff.
