SER PROFESSOR: UM ESTUDO SOBRE A CONSTITUI����O IDENTIT��RIA PROFISSIONAL DO ENFERMEIRO DOCENTE

O presente estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de compreender a constru����o da identidade profissional de enfermeiros docentes do curso de gradua����o em Enfermagem de uma institui����o privada localizada na cidade de S��o Paulo. Para tanto, discute os processos de constitui����o identit��ria pautado nos estudos de Vera Placco de Souza, no ��mbito nacional, e de Maurice Tardif e Claude Dubar, no ��mbito internacional. Em uma etapa explorat��ria, foi aplicado um question��rio semi-estruturado a cinco professoras da p��s-gradua����o em Enfermagem e realizada uma entrevista semi-diretiva com dois desses participantes com o objetivo de refinar os instrumentos de coleta. A pesquisa principal fez uso de entrevista realizada com sete professores do curso de gradua����o em Enfermagem da mesma institui����o. Os dados, tanto do estudo explorat��rio como da pesquisa principal, foram analisados tendo como refer��ncia os pressupostos da an��lise de conte��do sistematizados por Laurence Bardin e Maria Laura P. B. Franco. Os resultados indicaram que os enfermeiros se tornam professores impelidos pelo desejo de ensinar e de compartilhar conhecimentos, oportunidade de trabalho, flexibilidade de hor��rio e complementa����o da renda profissional, e s��o influenciados por professores de sua trajet��ria formativa e por familiares. As caracter��sticas valorizadas por eles em um professor foram: o dom��nio do conte��do ensinado, sobretudo o saber t��cnico; a busca cont��nua do conhecimento; ��tica; profissionalismo; humaniza����o. Nota-se um predom��nio das caracter��sticas que envolvem o conhecimento dos conte��dos em detrimento das quest��es pedag��gicas. A reflex��o e preocupa����o com a Doc��ncia est��o presentes em suas falas, assim como a busca constante para a supera����o das dificuldades existentes na profiss��o. Eles consideram a Doc��ncia uma profiss��o com um papel social de destaque do mesmo modo que a Enfermagem. Outro fator destacado nas respostas foi a forte representa����o do enfermeiro na carreira profissional dos pesquisados. Em seus relatos, foi poss��vel perceber que sua constru����o como docentes ocorre de forma cont��nua ao longo da carreira, o que fica evidenciado em suas falas quando afirmam serem melhores professores agora do que no in��cio de sua trajet��ria profissional e que, apesar de ser uma caminhada espinhosa inicialmente, tornou-se prazerosa e significativa com o passar do tempo. Ressalta-se aqui a import��ncia de se valorizar os saberes do professor, partindo deles e trabalhando-os te��rica e conceitualmente para que o docente amplie a compreens��o do processo de ensino em sa��de que, no mundo contempor��neo, tornou-se de alta complexidade.

A IMPORT��NCIA DO ENSINO DA DEONTOLOGIA NA FORMA����O DO PROFISSIONAL DE EDUCA����O F��SICA FRENTE ��S INFLU��NCIAS DO PARADIGMA EDUCACIONAL EMERGENTE

O objetivo deste trabalho foi, atrav��s de pesquisa te��rica para uma fundamenta����o filos��fica, analisar como o estudo da Deontologia, observando as influ��ncias do Paradigma Educacional Emergente, pode contribuir com a forma����o do Profissional de Educa����o F��sica e como, com ader��ncia aos conceitos de ser humano de Freire, Morin, Maturana e Varella e da legisla����o vigente, situa-se o ensino superior neste contexto. Princ��pios ��ticos foram observados como imprescind��veis para o desenvolvimento profissional em Educa����o F��sica, e confirmamos esta necessidade no decorrer do trabalho. Utilizamos como instrumentos de an��lise, conceitos filos��ficos b��sicos da distin����o de moral e ��tica em La Taille e Severino; estudos da prepara����o Ética e Bio��tica em Tojal; novos paradigmas da ci��ncia segundo os estudos de Santos; do Paradigma Educacional Emergente em Moraes e das rela����es de ensino-aprendizagem do Ensino Superior atrav��s do pensamento de autores como Severino, Lib��neo, Saviani, Cunha, Dias Sobrinho e Arroyo.

A fiscaliza����o do exerc��cio profissional no Conselho Regional de Enfermagem do Rio Grande do Norte: um debate ��tico

The present investigation had as its study subject the history of professional monitoring, at the Regional Nursing Council of Rio Grande do Norte (Coren-RN). It assumes that the fiscalization by the Council is an important tool for improving the quality of nursing care. This study aims to analyze the history of monitoring of the nursing profession in Rio Grande do Norte, in the period from 1993 to 2013. It was marked in the ethical-philosophical contribution of Fourez and V��zquez. This is a study of social history, descriptive and analytical, with a qualitative approach, using the methods of documentary research and the technique of oral history. It had the Coren-RN as locus of the empirical research, with its documents and the participation of inspectors and presidents. The history of monitoring was built based on documents and interviews with those who lived through this path. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of UFRN as Opinion 562 400/2014 (CAAE: 25452113.7.0000.5537). The results indicate that the Coren-RN, during these twenty years faced many difficulties such as the shortage of inspectors, the precarious reality of most health services, lack of professional qualification, the illegality of professional practice and structural deficiency in the institution. Nevertheless, it must be recognized that the monitoring process exercised by the Council, has evolved over the years. This evolution is expressed in increasing the number of inspectors, in the acquisition of a new seat and three vehicles, the creation of the subsections in the cities of Natal, Caic�� and Pau dos Ferros, the referral of ethical procedures, among other achievements. Similarly, it is registered an improvement in the credibility of nursing professionals and other regulatory agencies. In summary, the monitoring as core activity of the Council is going through a process of transformation, in order to make the dialogue between the disciplinary design and the pedagogical design, in defense of nursing care quality. Therefore, it is an unfinished process, in continuous construction.

Mestrado profissional em sa��de da fam��lia: o curso sob a perspectiva dos mestrandos

Professional masters were created in Brazil in the 1990s in response to social changes in the world of work and aim to train high-level professionals with own profile for various activities of society and the productive sector. They are up in more innovative mode of graduate studies in Brazil, and therefore lack of legitimacy of their identity, which raises the need for discussions to get further information and outline the characteristics of this postgraduate modality. You want to build new understandings about their peculiarities starting from the perspective of students from the Professional Masters in Health Net Northeast Family Training in Family Health, and not only according to the similarities and differences with the academic master. This study aims to understand the meanings attributed by masters training in that course. This is a qualitative, exploratory study. The subjects are 100 students in training in 2013, distributed among the six institutions nucleation Network Northeast Training in Family Health. To collect information desk research was conducted in institutional records of all students, as well as interviews. We interviewed 15 students, distributed in the six nucleation institutions. Information obtained through recorded interviews were transcribed and resulted in two analytical corpus subsequently submitted to Alceste �� 4.9 software for identification of semantic classes. It can be concluded that the course provided a redefinition of professional practices in the Family Health Strategy, considering the organizational context of primary care in the Northeast and the specifics of the health work. Even before the student body difficulties related to ownership of research methods, and the very active methodology of problem-based learning, the course effectively contributed to the improvement of work processes in primary care, valuing teamwork and allowing the acquisition of new scientific knowledge.

Processo de constru����o do conhecimento a partir do di��logo ensino-servi��o na ��tica dos profissionais de sa��de

INTRODUCTION: In Brazil, the health training policies have been going through deep changes, which are the fruits of the sanitary reform and of the breakage with the biomedical model, still hegemonic. Nevertheless, the paradigm of comprehensiveness is being introduced in health and, in order to consolidate this concept, the training has been gaining new methodological approaches. One can mention the teaching-service interaction (education-health system/citizenship health), whose proposal enables the expansion of the perception of the health-disease process, as well as the warranty of compromises of training in relation to SUS. OBJECTIVE: Understand, from health professionals, the relevance of teaching-service-community interaction, vocational training of students of the Faculty of Health Sciences / UFRN. METHODOLOGICAL PROCEDURES: This study is grounded on qualitative approach. The technique used to obtain research data was the focus group. Two focus groups (FG) were accomplished in two family basic health units of the municipality of Santa Cruz ��� RN, where there is participation of professionals of the Family Health Strategy. The discussions were performed from a previously elaborated script. The analysis of results was held from the categorical thematic content technique. RESULTS: The study had the participation of 18 health professionals, and 13 (72%) were females. For these professionals, the teaching-service interaction enables the student to understand the model of comprehensive health care, since the contact with the community enhances its perception about the health-disease process, but also enables recognizing the importance of teamwork to comprehensive health care. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The results highlight the importance of a policy of reorientation within the context of training so that students have an early contact with the service and therefore develop technical skills within the context in which they are inserted.

Ética da alimenta����o: porque devemos, segundo Kant, escolher uma alimenta����o adequada e saud��vel

This thesis proposes the adoption of a practical and philosophic approach to the discussion about what should be a healthy food, in view of the actual problems concerning this subject (from famine to obesity), which affect food and nutritional security and constitute target of many official policies. In order to handle this task, this work resorts to ethic, pedagogical and anthropological concepts inherent to Immanuel Kant���s philosophy, as valuable contributions to the practice of the professional nutritionist committed to the support and accomplishment of the human right to adequate nutrition (DHAA). Under this assumption, it intends to surpass the prevailing idea inside the social programs and policies favoring the utilitarian argument. It considers rather that a healthy food is also a duty of virtue, according to the Kantian duties to one-self. The liberation of transgenic seeds in Brazil comes up as an example of the violation of the right to food security and affects it negatively, resulting from the conflict between politics and moral faced by the Brazilian government. This paper concludes that DHAA realization requires not only a committed state, but also committed citizens and suggests that Kant���s philosophy should offer important contributions to supporting the practice of the professional nutritionist, awarding him the necessary information about this matter.

CRIATIVIDADE EM PUBLICIDADE E A QUEST��O ÉTICA: um estudo da publicidade brasileira premiada

A quest��o ��tica deve pautar a atividade profissional do publicit��rio, por ser uma atividade de grande influ��ncia sobre a opini��o p��blica, pois associa a imagem de empresas e suas marcas a uma postura de comprometimento com a sociedade na qual est�� inserida, transformando-as em empresas-modelo. Em nome da criatividade publicit��ria, muitas vezes, an��ncios de produtos e servi��os diversos contradizem uma propaganda socialmente respons��vel. A presente disserta����o analisou a linguagem e o discurso da propaganda no que se refere �� quest��o ��tica, observando-se at�� que ponto elas consideram ou n��o estas quest��es. Desta forma, apresentam-se como os elementos que comp��em a mensagem podem deixar, expl��cita ou implicitamente, informa����es que poderiam comprometer a empresa caso a observa����o do p��blico fosse mais cr��tica ou mais apurada. Para esta an��lise foram selecionados an��ncios premiados no pr��mio Profissionais do Ano , hoje um dos principais pr��mios da propaganda brasileira institu��do pela Rede Globo de Televis��o, e o instrumento metodol��gico utilizado foi uma leitura subsidiada na an��lise do discurso. A grande maioria dos comerciais premiados neste Festival n��o fere princ��pios ��ticos. Foi selecionado apenas um corpus, em que se confrontou a tem��tica criativa de cada comercial com o C��digo Brasileiro de Auto-regulamenta����o Publicit��ria (CONAR), verificando assim como estes comerciais,sob este olhar, podem ser considerados como incorretos no tocante �� ��tica e �� responsabilidade social.(AU)

O Estado e o Associativismo Profissional e Sindical dos Assistentes Sociais em Portugal: trajet��ria e perspetivas atuais

Este estudo explorat��rio, de car��ter descritivo, tem como objetivos compreender a rela����o do Estado com a organiza����o profissional dos assistentes sociais nas diferentes conjunturas s��cio-hist��ricas da trajet��ria da profiss��o; conhecer o contributo do associativismo sindical e profissional para a organiza����o dos assistentes sociais em Portugal; caraterizar as diversas formas de associativismo profissional e sindical dos profissionais de Servi��o Social e compreender a import��ncia da regula����o profissional para a categoria. Na trajet��ria do Servi��o Social no nosso pa��s, identific��mos v��rias estruturas associativas desde os anos 50 do s��culo XX. Apesar dessa diversidade ao n��vel da organiza����o profissional, nos ��ltimos anos tem sido o projeto de constitui����o da ordem o que tem congregado os profissionais de Servi��o Social, embora de forma fragmentada. Em Portugal n��o existe um estatuto jur��dico de regula����o da profiss��o de assistente social, sendo do interesse dos profissionais, utentes e sociedade que o mesmo seja efetivado. A cria����o de uma ordem profissional poder�� vir a fortalecer o trabalho dos profissionais de Servi��o Social, bem como proteger e regulamentar o exerc��cio profissional e a forma����o acad��mica. Com a eros��o do Estado Social, as rela����es de trabalho tendem a ser desregulamentadas e flexibilizadas, subsistindo a precariedade e o desemprego. O enfrentamento a estas quest��es por parte do movimento associativo �� t��nue e a sua n��o articula����o fragiliza a prote����o dos profissionais, como indiciam a subsistente aus��ncia da constitui����o da ordem profissional e a extin����o do Sindicato Nacional de Profissionais de Servi��o Social, apesar do ressurgimento do associativismo sindical durante o presente ano (2013). As condi����es atuais diferem das existentes aquando do processo de obten����o da licenciatura e estrutura����o e implementa����o das carreiras profissionais de Servi��o Social que potenciaram e galvanizaram os assistentes sociais. A categoria profissional apresenta-se desmobilizada e com pouco poder reivindicativo, e as associa����es profissionais e sindicais vivem com constrangimentos financeiros, funcionando em regime de voluntariado, o que denota a insipi��ncia da sua estrutura organizativa. A atual conjuntura justificaria uma maior converg��ncia, debate e processos de resist��ncia por parte das estruturas associativas face ao agravamento de pol��ticas baseadas na austeridade, que t��m reflexos no mercado de trabalho, forma����o e organiza����o profissional. Parece justificar-se a exist��ncia de estrat��gias articuladas com maior clareza sobre o projeto para a categoria, apostando num debate que se fa��a com os seus diversos intervenientes. Desta forma, o associativismo poder�� constituir uma alavanca que confira maior dinamismo ��s suas estruturas organizacionais, maior visibilidade e presen��a p��blica da categoria, mas tamb��m uma maior solidez das suas organiza����es, que n��o sendo corporativas ou elitistas, salientem o primado da ��tica do servi��o sobre a ��tica do ganho. / This descriptive exploratory study aims to understand the relationship between the State and the professional organisation of the social workers in the different social-historical situations of the profession course; to know the contribute of the unions and professional membership drive to the organisation of the social workers in Portugal; to characterise the several ways of the social workers��� professional and union membership drive and to understand the importance of the professional regulation for the area. In the Social Service trajectory in our country, we have identified several associative structures since the 1950s. Despite this diversity concerning the professional organisation, the project of constituting the professional order has been responsible for the social workers��� congregation in the past years, although in a fragmented way. In Portugal, there is not a legal status of regulation of the social workers��� profession, and it is of the interest of the professionals, users and society that this may be brought about. The creation of a professional order may strengthen the activity of the social workers, as well as it may protect and regulate the profession exercise and the university education. With the Social State���s erosion, the work relationships tend to be deregulated and softened, persisting the job insecurity and the unemployment. The associative movement does not strongly face these issues, and its non-articulation weakens the professionals��� protection, as the permanent absence of the professional order creation and the extinction of the National Social Workers Union show, despite the reappearance of the union membership drive during the present year (2013). The current conditions are not equal to the ones existent in the process of obtaining the university degree and the structuring and implementing of professional careers in the Social Service area, which have strengthened and galvanised the social workers. The professional category is not mobilised and it has few claimable power; the professional and unions��� associations live with financial problems, functioning in a volunteering regime, which shows the insipience of its organisation structure. The current situation would justify a bigger convergence, debate and resistance processes on behalf of the associative structures regarding the worsening of policies based on austerity ��� this has consequences in the work market, training and professional organisation. It seems to be pertinent the existence of strategies articulated in a clearer way about the project for this professional area, investing in a debate among its several participants. Therefore, the professional membership drive may constitute a lever that can give more dynamism to its organisational structures, a bigger visibility and public presence of the area, but also a stronger solidity in its organisations which, being not corporative or elitist, may highlight the service���s ethics over the profit���s ethics.

Autoefic��cia, caracter��sticas sociodemogr��ficas e capacita����o profissional: um estudo com servidores de uma Universidade Federal

Self-efficacy, the construct developed by Albert Bandura in 1977 and widely studied around the world, means the individual's belief in his own capacity to successfully perform a certain activity. This study aims to determine the degree of association between sociodemographic characteristics and professional training to the levels of Self-Efficacy at Work (SEW) of the Administrative Assistants in a federal university. This is a descriptive research submitted to and approved by the Ethics Committee of UFRN. The method of data analysis, in quantitative nature, was accomplished with the aid of the statistical programs R and Minitab. The instrument used in research was a sociodemographic data questionnaire, variables of professional training and the General Perception of Self-efficacy Scale (GPSES), applied to the sample by 289 Assistants in Administration. Statistical techniques for data analysis were descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, reliability test (Cronbach's alpha), and test of significance (Pearson). Results show a sociodemographic profile of Assistants in Administration of UFRN with well-distributed characteristics, with 48.4% men and 51.6% female; 59.9% of them were aged over 40 years, married (49.3%), color or race white (58%) and Catholics (67.8%); families are composed of up to four people (75.8%) with children (59.4%) of all age groups; the occupation of the mothers of these professionals is mostly housewives (51.6%) with high school education up to parents (72%) and mothers (75.8%). Assistants in Administration have high levels of professional training, most of them composed two groups of servers: the former, recently hired public servants (30.7%) and another with long service (59%), the majority enter young in career and it stays until retirement, 72.4% of these professionals have training above the minimum requirement for the job. The analysis of SEW levels shows medium to high levels for 72% of assistants in administration; low SEWclassified people have shown a high average of 2.7, considered close to the overall mean presented in other studies, which is 2.9. The cluster analysis has allowed us to say that the characteristics of the three groups (Low, Medium and High SEW) are similar and can be found in the three levels of SEW representatives with all the characteristics investigated. The results indicate no association between the sociodemographic variables and professional training to the levels of self-efficacy at work of Assistants in Administration of UFRN, except for the variable color or race. However, due to the small number of people who declared themselves in color or black race (4% of the sample), this result can be interpreted as mere coincidence or the black people addressed in this study have provided a sense of efficacy higher than white and brown ones. The study has corroborated other studies and highlighted the subjectivity of the self-efficacy construct. They are needed more researches, especially with public servants for the continuity and expansion of studies on the subject, making it possible to compare and confirm the results

Proposta de ensino de geometria euclidiana plana para o sexto ano do ensino fundamental sob a ��tica do racioc��nio l��gico-dedutivo

This study will introduce a brief history of the Geometry development, focused in the appearing of the organization in the logical deductive structure achieved by Euclid. Following will be discussed the situation of the learning and teaching of geometry topics since antiquity until the present day, where we will notice that it does not happen with the logical-deductive perspective. After this contextualization, we will propose the realization of a geometry workshop for students of the sixth grade of elementary school, focusing to the development of logical-deductive reasoning. Applied to workshop, changes were observed in the organization of thought of the participating students in the research, furthering the understanding of the concepts and properties of flat euclidean geometry.

Relat��rio de est��gio de qualifica����o profissional

Relat��rio EPE - Relat��rio de est��gio em Educa����o Pr��-Escolar: O presente relat��rio de est��gio foi elaborado no ��mbito da unidade curricular de Pr��tica Pedag��gica Supervisionada, integrada no Mestrado em Educa����o Pr�� ��� Escolar e Ensino do 1�� Ciclo do Ensino B��sico da Escola Superior de Educa����o do Instituto Polit��cnico do Porto. O est��gio realizou-se no Jardim de Inf��ncia Gaia 13 que abarca crian��as desde os 3 aos 6 anos de idade. A intera����o com a institui����o e com o grupo de crian��as e equipa educativa foi feita de modo progressivo, de modo a que as atividades planificadas e o projeto curricular de grupo constru��do, fossem ao encontro das caracter��sticas do contexto e do grupo de crian��as. Desde o in��cio da pr��tica pedag��gica que se constru��ram planifica����es semanais, que tinham como pressuposto a identifica����o das necessidades de desenvolvimento das crian��as, bem como os seus interesses, os objetivos, os resultados de aprendizagem e os recursos pedag��gicos, integrados no plano de a����o. O trabalho desenvolvido teve por base a metodologia de investiga����o���a����o, atrav��s de uma articula����o entre a teoria e a pr��tica, com a inten����o de proporcionar compet��ncias profissionais na mestranda tais como: ser capaz de mobilizar v��rios saberes cient��ficos e pedag��gicos correspondentes �� educa����o pr�� ��� escolar; ser capaz de desenvolver estrat��gias pedag��gicas diferenciadas; construir uma atitude reflexiva de car��ter indagador. Todo este processo contribuiu para a idealiza����o de uma identidade profissional, em constru����o permanente, numa expectativa de aprendizagem ao longo da vida.

Aspectos do desenvolvimento da experi��ncia docente na educa����o superior: um estudo sob a ��tica da teoria dos g��neros de atividade

This analysis introduces results related to development of teaching experience from two professors of one Federal University who have taken part of one action of continued teacher training. We consider that the interplay among the individual, the language and the world cannot function straightly. It occurs through utterances, defined like real unit discursive communication, and genres of discourse (BAKHTIN, 1979/2011). Along the same line, the relation between the employee and his employment do not occur in a direct manner. This relationship takes place through genres of activity (CLOT, 2008/2010). As well as, a domain of speech genres has given possibility to individual an interaction with several discursive fields, a domain of activity genre allows the professional protruding in difficult situations traced in his employment. We know that the drafting for wield the teaching in the Tertiary Education is recommended by LDBEN (9394/96), which suggests that should be done in postgraduate program. In the mean time, what frequently happens an educational background based in a survey and not in the teaching. Thereby, several times we have observed difficulties in the accomplishment of teaching practice. Considering such aspects, this study seeks to comprehend the manner how the lecturers deal with the difficulties encountered in the classroom and how the years of experience have contributed or not for a domain of activity genre. In this regard, we have propped up in the development approach, introduced by Vigotsky, who asserts that the learning suitably organized results in development (VIGOTSKY, 1984/2007) and still explains the development of individual on the basis of relationship that it has with another, the social (VIGOTSKY, 1996b). For this purpose, were accomplished, by means of a snipped filmed lesson from each teacher, four sessions of self-confrontation (FA��TA, 1996; CLOT, 2008/2010), two Simple and two Crusade, recorded in a visual format. This material was transcribed in accordance with standards from project NURC-SP (PRETI, 1999). For the analysis, we used three mains theories: of Linguistic, is mobilized the concept of speech genres (BAKHTIN) and all discursive topics (JUBRAN; F��VERO); from Occupational Psychology, is utilized the activity genres (CLOT); from Psychology Historical-Cultural, is adopted the concept from Zone of Proximal Development and another/social in the development of individual (VIGOTSKY). In compliance with the study achieved, was possible to identify the aspects related to development of teaching experience of Tertiary Education. During the classes and reports of self-confrontation, we identify that both the professors, in the beginning of the career, they got more difficulties to deal with hindrances, and which now, with some years of experience, they get to domain better the difficult situations which they come across. They built up, for example, a greater facility in improvise examples in face of students��� difficulties in the comprehension of concepts. These aspects show that the professors have evolved the higher domain of genre, which allow them getting, in addition to turn the unexpected situation around that spring up in the professional context, as well know how to taking action in similar situation, which they have already run into in another moments. This domain enabled and enables the developing of the lecturers over the course of their professional performance.
