Entre cristo e o diabo:o ideário do Colégio Americano Batista do Recife (1902-1942)

Due to lack of work on the history of Baptist schools in the Northeast region of Brazil, it is important to understand through a historical reconstruction of the Baptist Protestant education. We embarked on this venture as a chance to understand the presence of Protestant schools, and his ideas on Brazilian soil. Our goal is to promote a reflection which has the axial dimension of the Baptists Protestant education, in time, we will place the debate between 1902-1942. The temporal boundaries of 1902-1942 was because 1902 was when he started the American Baptist College of Recife in 1942 and that ends the cycle of managing directors of Americans. Understand the functionality of time a school is justified when we realize that the history of education is the story of a work of self and formation within a framework that has the school as the main support that can enable a reading of reality. We also intend to examine the school culture brought to Brazil by American missionaries and their applicability in the Brazilian cultural-historical context. And just to demonstrate the hypothesis that the educational contribution of Baptists added to the participation of other Protestants promoted advances in Brazilian society. Possibly taking for granted that the Baptists were in possession of the democratic ideals of religious freedom, taken by many representatives and religious version of the republican regime. In addition to promoting a model in Brazil to make different methodological schools, based on the ideals of new school and ethics of the Bible. Our proposed research aims at understanding how North American missionaries settled in Brazil and what were the purposes of adding to the efforts of evangelization to formal education, binomial that justified the establishment of schools. A vision of saving men for evangelization and education of the Devil attack victims over the ethics of Christ

Um estudo sobre o estágio supervisionado na formação inicial de professores de matemática na Bahia

This work arose from our concerns with the issues of teacher training for early childhood education. From the difficulties encountered as a novice teacher in elementary, we deem important to research training needs of these professionals. Thus, we define the objective of this research to investigate the training needs of novice teachers teaching Early Childhood Education/Elementary school. Our work fits in Educational Research Qualitative Approach, and its construction procedures of the semistructured interview data and document analysis. Our empirical field was made up of schools in the metropolitan region of Natal / RN, offering kindergarten / elementary school. The subjects are five teachers who act as holder of the elementary school class and have 0-3 years of teaching practice, characterizing the second Huberman (2007) as novice teachers. Data analysis, based on principles of content analysis, three themes emerged: Beginner Teaching Professor in Early Childhood Education / Preschool; Reasons explaining the difficulties Faculty / Formative Needs Teaching and Training in Early Childhood Education / Elementary school, from the Training Needs Analysis, with their respective categories, subcategories, contributing to our understanding of the subject matter. The entry into the profession is marked by mixed feelings of euphoria and fear, where there seems to be a "clash" with reality. The difficulties are related to the planning / execution of activities, meet the individual needs of learning and assessment of children. As a strategy to overcome the difficulties the teachers exercise the action-reflection-action in their practices and seek continuous updates in the theoretical and methodological framework of early childhood education. The reasons that define these difficulties may be related to the teacher, school, family, and students of these institutions. In experiencing these difficulties has outlined the need for teacher training, among which stand out studies on ethics in teaching with children, the concept of children and their childhoods, peculiarities of teaching / learning in preschool, toys and legal determinations on early childhood education, multi-language and expressions in early childhood education, specific content areas of knowledge, among others. Furthermore, studies on the theoretical as Piaget, Vigotsky, Maria Carmen Barbosa and Emily Smith. For these professionals to be a professional early childhood education is: like children, be patient and careful, have specific theoretical and practical training for teachers in kindergarten, being able to improvise with seriousness and competence and get updates on continuing education. The surveys, together with the authors and teachers, to confirm our understanding that the training needs of beginners may be related to shortcomings in the initial and continuing education

Cuidado de enfermagem ao potencial doador de órgãos em morte encefálica: uma reflexão sobre a prática

Despite of the technological advances that favor the transplant process, there are issues of effectiveness of care necessary for the maintenance of potential organ donors with brain death, which contribute to the no realization of transplants of organs and tissues of these patients. It is presupposed that the problems could be related to perceptions and understandings that the professionals of the units of internment have about the care required by the diagnosis of brain death. The aim of this study was to understand the meaning of the nursing care of the potential organ donor with brain death to the nursing staff. Descriptive study with qualitative approach guided by Action Science Theory and the critic-reflexive research methodology accomplished with five nurses and 19 nursing technicians from Operative Rehabilitation Center in a public hospital at Natal / RN, Brazil, between March and May 2013. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with individual reflection about the care and through group interview, after approval by the Ethics and Research Committee, CAAE No.: 04255612.7.0000.5537. The analysis was performed in a thematic way according to Bardin. During the group meeting the participants were driven in a discussion about the need for change and how to perform them. The results indicate that the professionals actions are consistent with those required for maintenance of potential organ donors, although the material and human resources are not adequate. That situation leads the professionals to develop a meaning of care as one labor more, demanding more than they can give. They express beliefs and feelings concerning the hope that their care brings a greater good that is to save lives. The reflection for a possible change of action was difficult to accomplish due to professionals not to be able to self evaluate, what lead to direct your changes suggestions for other team members. It is concluded that the care provided to these patients is a difficult care, evidenced by suffering both death situation of the person cared and pain of their families, as the dehumanizing conditions of work, helping themselves to keep distance from patients to not suffer so much. The knowledge impregnated in their act, are scientific, ethical, aesthetic and personal kind with a predominance of the scientific followed by the personal. The study was also relevant to the practice of nursing in maintaining the potential donor, in that it allowed the identification of the knowledge used by nurses in their care practice and the meaning understanding of the professionals on the care provided, as a good action that brings satisfaction when the transplanting is executed. Other experiences are suggested with the critic-reflexive research methodology, both in research as in teaching nursing

A Construção do processo democrático de auto-avaliação institutucional na UNESP

O desenvolvimento de um processo democrático de avaliação institucional na UNESP, uma universidade multi-campus, envolveu três desafios: garantir o envolvimento de grupos representativos da comunidade no processo de avaliação; atribuir poder e responsabilidade a cada setor acadêmico e administrativo no processo de avaliação; criar uma cultura de auto-avaliação e reflexão que possibilitasse debate crítico e auto-gestão dos projetos acadêmicos. Com base nos termos de referência estabelecidos pela comunidade a CPA desenvolveu uma metodologia de avaliação democrática e investigativa, orientada para a auto-gestão e de natureza quali-quantitativa. Fundamentada em três enfoques teóricos de avaliação, o democrático, o de tomada de decisão e o crítico o processo envolveu três funções: a diagnóstica, a formativo-reflexiva e a de revisão crítica. Atualmente os usos dos resultados da avaliação para orientar políticas e decisões acadêmicas, especialmente nos cursos de graduação, evidenciam avanços no processo de internalização de cultura de avaliação orientada para auto-gestão.

Projeto pedagógico: abordagens e implicações no âmbito da formação em odontologia

Proposals that aim a redirection of current health attention models in Brazil are indispensible due to the need of health issues and its challenges imposed by society. These issues come forth in Higher Education Institutions in an attempt to devise ways to face these demands. The research aims to analyze the Pedagogical Project (PP) present in the Dentistry Graduation Course in the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil-(UFRN). This is done in coherence the Brazilian National Curricular Guidelines considering main competences established in the PP. This research was approved by the Ethics Committee at UFRN under document number 285/201. The work is of descriptive nature and was realized with 30 students in the Dentistry Graduation Course. Interviews were realized with the use of problem situation approach. The research was also supported by documental studies that dealt with syllabus present in the disciplines taught at UFRN. Data were processed with the use of the ALCESTE 4.9 software. It is possible to acknowledge that some conservative conceptions arise, even though there is use of active methodologies and innovation that aim to promote reflection and articulation for general competence development such as proposed in the Pedagogical Project in Dentistry Graduation Course at UFRN. These conceptions are mainly present in the teaching-learning process where students do not have full participation. Thus it is possible to conclude that even though there are advances and breakthroughs. This is seen with that fact that there was inclusion of multidisciplinary clinical work as well optional courses in the curriculum. It was also seen that there was occasional use of active teaching methodologies in Dentistry at UFRN. But there is still a need for a didactical and methodological resizing. These actions require the need for progressive development of competences and abilities during the formative process according to what was established in the Brazilian National Curricular Guidelines

Waveguide features in self-patternable amine functionalized organic-inorganic hybrids

We report the use of organic-inorganic sol-gel derived poly(oxyehylene)/ siloxane hybrid doped with methacrylic acid modified zirconium (IV) n-propoxide for the fabrication of low cost waveguides trough direct UV laser writing. The organic-inorganic hybrids were processed as monoliths with size and shape control. The effective guiding region was identified and the number of modes was estimated via mode field analyses. A grating was successfully superimposed on the channel and the respective reflection spectrum was measured, enabling the determination of the guiding region dimension, the calculation of the effective refractive index of the guided mode. © 2007 IEEE.

Nexos e reflexos de uma experiência formativa mediatizada por ambiente virtual de aprendizagem: formação de professores de Ciências e Matemática na Amazônia

Esta é uma pesquisa qualitativa na modalidade narrativa, que se baseia nas experiências de formação de professores de Ciências e Matemática a distância na Amazônia, vividas no contexto de um curso via Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem (AVA). Objetivo investigar em que termos essa experiência formativa é catalisadora de reflexões docentes sobre o contexto amazônico de ensino de Ciências e Matemática e que outras aprendizagens resultantes dessa formação repercutem em percepções diferenciadas da prática docente desta área específica no ensino fundamental. Foram nove os sujeitos envolvidos na investigação, os quais foram selecionados segundo os critérios: serem professores-alunos, oriundos do curso de Especialização em Educação em Ciências e Matemática do Programa EDUCIMAT, que ensinam/ensinaram Ciências e Matemática; mantiveram um elevado nível de envolvimento nas interações ocorridas no AVA; expressaram ideias completas de modo reflexivo. Como instrumento investigativo, optei por ouvir depoimentos dos sujeitos por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada, que foram gravadas em áudio e, posteriormente, transcritas. Além das entrevistas, lancei mão de meu diário de campo como fonte de informação, que foi construído ao longo da pesquisa por meio de percepções sobre os sujeitos e seus contextos, além dos registros de ocorrências diversas no âmbito da pesquisa. Buscando produzir novas compreensões das narrativas investigadas, aproprio-me da Análise Textual Discursiva como metodologia de análise do material empírico. Assim, ao sistematizar as manifestações dos sujeitos, levando em consideração as recorrências e as singularidades, tais análises deram forma a três eixos temáticos, que trato nesta investigação, assumindo os seguintes títulos: i) Formar-se no contexto amazônico: obstáculos e enfrentamentos; ii) Tecnologias e AVA: sentido(s) da experiência formativa; e iii) As repercussões da experiência nas percepções da prática e da formação docente. A análise dos resultados revela as dificuldades de acesso à formação, à informação, às tecnologias e aos municípios no interior da Amazônia, além do fator custo, como enfrentamentos para formar-se nesse contexto. Além disso, os sujeitos revelam que, ao trocarem, experimentarem e interagirem no AVA, atribuíram sentidos de autoconhecimento apontando indicativos para a (re)invenção de si, de constituição docente num mundo marcado pelos avanços tecnológicos e de superação no uso das tecnologias que surpreendem e (trans)formam. Ainda como resultado das análises, os sujeitos anunciam conhecimentos elaborados por meio da experiência formativa que incidem em outras/novas percepções de suas práticas educativas: a utilização de tecnologias de informação e comunicação como possíveis ferramentas pedagógicas, além da interatividade, troca de experiências e diálogo em situações de ensino. O AVA, sendo percebido pelos sujeitos como um dos recursos incorporados pela formação docente a distância, apresenta-se como oportunidade de contínua formação tecida pela diversidade de ideias e como forma de aproximar-se das tecnologias educacionais frente às dificuldades na região, expressas pelos próprios sujeitos.

A avaliação formativa no ensino-aprendizagem do português: o procedimento webquest em análise

A presente dissertação aborda o tema da utilização da Internet no ensino/aprendizagem de língua materna, mais especificamente o uso do procedimento tecnológico Webquest, como recurso didático-pedagógico que auxilia tanto os processos de ensino e aprendizagem quanto os de avaliação e visa a otimizar a apropriação de competências linguageiras por parte do aluno. Para fundamentar a inserção das Novas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação no ensino-aprendizagem da língua materna, realiza-se, a princípio, uma reflexão em torno do quadro teórico-metodológico que vem sendo proposto pelos estudiosos da Didática das Línguas e pelos PCNs para a língua materna. Nessa reflexão, enfocam-se os princípios da abordagem interacional de ensino-aprendizagem de línguas e da modalidade formativa de avaliação, mostrando sua relevância para um trabalho fecundo em sala de aula. Em seguida, unem-se a estes fundamentos, os estudos desenvolvidos pela Tecnologia Educacional, que tratam do uso do computador como recurso educativo, destacando-se o pensamento construtivista como base teórica que orienta esta prática. Neste contexto, define-se mais especificamente a metodologia de pesquisa Webquest, que pode se utilizar da Internet para favorecer a interação do aluno com variadas informações, pessoas e para lidar com a língua em seu uso real, contextualizado dentro das práticas sócio-comunicativas. Com base nesse tripé teórico, analisam-se sete Webquests produzidas por graduandos do Curso de Letras da Universidade Federal do Pará, objetivando-se verificar se essa metodologia se coaduna com as concepções da abordagem interacional de ensino/aprendizagem da língua materna, bem como da avaliação formativa, favorecendo procedimentos (auto) avaliativos e de (auto) regulação da aprendizagem indispensáveis ao desenvolvimento das competências linguageiras na produção escrita. Nesta análise documental, realizada na perspectiva da pesquisa qualitativa, propõe-se, como objetivo principal, contribuir para a inserção do procedimento tecnológico Webquest em práticas produtivas de ensino-aprendizagem de língua materna, de forma a fundamentar o emprego deste instrumento, em princípios interacionais e formadores.

Ethical Care of the Self and the Teacher in the Pedagogical Relationship: Reflections Based on the Latest Foucault

Our conception of education is that it is the responsible action whereby man becomes human, trains and faces the challenges that life and the world present, as man enters a larger, shared cultural tradition and thus joins the world. However such sharing implies that we must not just rely on tradition, but remain open to new ideas. It is essential for schooling to preserve a field where the art of living intersects with the world for which future generations are being prepared. It is in this field of intersection that this essay seeks to discuss Michel Foucault's thought, care of the self and the role played by others in the acquisition of ethical attitudes pertaining to one's conduct in life. Through reconstructing Foucault's ideas, we elaborate on the hypothesis that, before morally shaping students, teaching them values, or aiding in their skill acquisition in the sense prevailing in schooling today, it is important to understand the notion of care of the self (and how the notion implies interaction with others for effective care of the self). Care of the self is vital for thoroughly understanding the relationships between ethics and education in school. We particularly examine how Foucault's ideas and his analysis of the teacher's role in shaping the student's life conduct can help educators rethink pedagogical action in an ethical sense and find within it a certain openness to the formation of attitudes in educators and students

O sentido ético da dramática de si e o significado político da poética da diferença na pragmática do ensino: considerações à luz de Foucault

This essay discusses the theme of poetics in teaching activity, and discusses its possible ability to think about the ethical-formative sense and its possible political use to propose alternatives to the educational praxis that is restricted, in actuality, a pragmatic teaching. From the point of view of aesthetics of existence, therefore, we proposes a particular notion of poetic, fairly close to what can be understood by the dramatic that underlies the pragmatic of you last Foucault, as well as analyzes your chances to problematize the current pragmatic teaching. Thus, we look forward to assist the educator thinking both the possibility of ethics (self) transformation as the meaning of formation of another in his educational activity.

Effects of Self-Assessment on Math Homework

In this action research study of my eighth grade differentiated Algebra students, I investigated the effects of students using self-assessment on their homework. Students in my class were unmotivated and failed test objectives consistently. I wanted students to see that they controlled their learning and could be motivated to succeed. Formative assessment tells students how they need to improve. Learning needs to happen before they can be assessed. Self-assessment is one tool that helps students know if they are learning. A rubric scoring guide, daily documentation sheet and feedback on homework and test correlations were used to help students monitor their learning. Students needed time to develop the skill to self-assess. Students began to understand the relationship between homework and performing well on tests by the end of the action research period. Early in the period, most students encountered difficulty understanding that they controlled their learning and did not think homework was important. By the end of the year, all students said homework was important and that it helped them on quizzes and tests. Motivating students to complete homework is difficult. Teaching them to self-assess and to keep track of their learning helps them stay motivated.
