O ensino da comunicação na formação universitária em ciências da Nutrição: momento atual e sua evolução até aos dias de hoje

O percurso da crescente integração das ciências da comunicação no ensino das Ciências da Nutrição reflete a importância de dotar os nutricionistas de competências comunicacionais capazes de influenciar os comportamentos dos indivíduos e populações para escolhas alimentares mais conscientes e saudáveis. O presente texto pretende contextualizar a evolução da integração da área das ciências da comunicação no ensino das Ciências da Nutrição, tendo como caso de estudo as unidades curriculares de Comunicação e de Projeto de Comunicação, do 1º ciclo de estudos em Ciências da Nutrição da FCNAUP. Estas duas unidades curriculares, no âmbito das ciências da comunicação, são complementares, atuando de forma concertada. Face aos atuais desafios da comunicação na área da nutrição, as metodologias de ensino utilizadas nestas unidades curriculares têm procurado promover a realização de atividades pedagógicas muito diversificadas e em contexto real. Pretende-se que os futuros nutricionistas sejam capazes de utilizar formatos de comunicação e modelos de educação alimentar inovadores e, ao mesmo tempo, apelativos, com o objetivo final de tornarem a sua intervenção cada vez mais eficaz do ponto de vista da tomada de consciência para a mudança de comportamentos alimentares por parte da população.

O tema água no ensino de ciências:uma proposta didático pedagógica elaborada com base nos três momentos pedagógicos

Science and technology are increasingly present in society’s everyday living, interfering with the appearance and social relationships, which requires from the population: knowledge, skills and actions to intervene consciously and responsibly in the new socio-cultural setting. The science education might become a great ally in the task of literacy and / or enable students to live consciously and critically in a world even more influenced by scientific and technological aspects. The aim of the dissertation is to develop a didactic-pedagogic proposal for science classes of the 6th year of elementary school, based on the "Generator Theme: Water and its treatment", involving the dynamics of the Three Pedagogic Moments. Such proposal consists of a Course which embraces seven teaching modules containing topics related to Generator Theme. The modules were designed and developed with four student groups of 6th year in twelve hours / class per group, with a total of approximately 120 students. The interpretation of the developed content, resulting from the thematic modules with students, led to the creation of five analysis categories. Considering the results, it is possible to conclude it is necessary, for successful teaching practices in the school environment, that the teachers embrace the aim of teaching in a meaningful way, drawing up activities that really recognize and include the student as an active subject of the educational and learning process. The use of activities that lead students to recognize themselves as main process actors, developing practices based on previous knowledge and on their specific learning, results in a situation which they will recognize the science in their lives, learn to be reflective and aware of their attitudes about the world where they live.

Horta escolar: temas geradores e os momentos pedagógicos no ensino de ciências

Science application has faced problems in the process of training and cognizant thinking subjects in their actions. Thus, this work is justified in order to reorganize the contents of this area of knowledge. Thus, the research entitled "Plantation School: generating themes and teaching moments in teaching of science" was developed with a group of 6th grade of elementary school, from the planting of vegetables in tires without usefulness, with purpose of building meanings and scientific concepts to students. This work was based on sociointeractionist perspective of Vygotsky (1996, 1998), education for thematic research Freire (1983, 1996) as well as in problem-solving situations identified by the methodology of Pedagogical Moments Delizoicov and Angoti (1992; 2002 ) which together corroborated for the construction of a proposed teaching and learning, curriculum reorganization and significance of scientific concepts. Thus, the project breaks in practice with the linearity of the contents, to develop and analyze themes mediated by pedagogical moments, in order to ascertain the contribution of this methodological resource for the teacher's work, with regard to the understanding of scientific concepts by students. Thus, lesson plans were built based on the study situation "Horta School" and Themes Generators "human interaction with the environment", "photosynthesis", "Ecology and Nutrition of living beings", culminating in the work proposal developed in the classroom. From these themes, the contents were worked through pedagogical moments, which are organized into three stages: questioning, organization / systematization of knowledge and application / contextualization of knowledge. Thus, within each Theme Generator activities were planned which resulted in the involvement of students in learning scientific concepts, such as the issue of sustainability, environmental pollution, nutrition of living beings and the decomposition of organic matter. This work led and motivated student participation in Themes generators, and allows greater interaction between teacher-student and student among his peers, through dialogism established in the classroom, which promoted a more meaningful learning for students.

Estudantes do ensino superior e perspetivas de carreira no setor do turismo e da hotelaria: estudo de caso

Nos últimos anos, o turismo em Portugal tem vindo a crescer, o que se tem refletido na indústria hoteleira nacional, tornando fundamental a existência de profissionais competentes neste setor. A indústria turística e hoteleira é desafiante devido às suas especificidades, reunindo vários tipos de organizações e serviços. Diversos autores referem a existência de elevadas taxas de rotatividade dos profissionais deste setor, questionando se os estudantes que ingressam em cursos desta área conhecem as características de uma carreira neste setor. A formação e o desempenho dos profissionais desta área poderiam, portanto, beneficiar da interação entre mercado de trabalho e ensino superior de forma a perceber e, se possível, conciliar as expectativas dos estudantes e as competências que as indústrias julgam determinantes para o seu sucesso. Alguns autores referem também a importância da vocação e de algumas características pessoais no desempenho de funções em hotelaria, tendo desenvolvido uma escala com características pessoais associadas à “cultura hoteleira”. Foram já realizados estudos em diferentes países em que foram determinadas as expetativas do estudantes quanto ao seu futuro profissional ou comparadas as características pessoais de estudantes de diferentes áreas de estudo. O objetivo deste estudo é caracterizar os estudantes de uma instituição de ensino superior portuguesa quanto às características pessoais e expectativas de uma carreira em turismo e/ou hotelaria e comparar esta perceção com a de um conjunto de profissionais da indústria hoteleira. Para tal, foi elaborado e aplicado um questionário a estudantes de cursos do 1.º ciclo relacionados com a área do turismo e hotelaria de uma escola pública portuguesa do ensino superior (n=329) e foram realizadas entrevistas a profissionais de hotelaria. Concluiu-se que para a maioria das características pessoais e expetativas de carreira não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre cursos. Nos casos em que houve diferenças, foi possível estabelecer uma associação com as especificidades dos cursos frequentados. Quanto às expectativas, a expressão “oportunidade de viajar” é a que mais se distingue pela positiva e a expressão “um trabalho que seja fácil de conciliar com a família e parentalidade” pela negativa. Geralmente os estudantes manifestaram vontade de trabalhar num setor ligado às especificidades do seu curso, com exceção dos estudantes da licenciatura em Turismo, que privilegiaram o setor da hotelaria. Os profissionais de hotelaria valorizam não só a formação académica, mas também algumas características pessoais e a experiência profissional, que poderá ser obtida através da realização de estágios.

Democratização do acesso ao ensino superior: os cursos de graduação à distância na UFRN

This thesis pursuits to contextualize the theoretical debate between the implementation of public education policy of the Federal Government focused in a distance learning and legal foundations for its enforcement, in order to raise questions and comments on the topic in question. Its importance is back to provide scientific input and can offer to the academy, particularly in the UFRN, and elements of society to question and rethink the complex relationship between the socio-economic and geographic access to higher education. It consists of a descriptive study on the institutionalization of distance education in UFRN as a mechanism for expanding access to higher education, for both, the research seeks to understand if the distance undergraduate courses offered by the UAB system and implemented at UFRN, promote expanding access to higher education, as it is during implementation that the rules, routines and social processes are converted from intentions to action. The discussion of this study lasted between two opposing views of Implementation models: Top-down and Bottom-up. It is worth noting that the documents PNE, PDE and programs and UAB MEETING reflect positively in improving the educational level of the population of the country It is a qualitative study, using the means Bibliographic, Document and Field Study, where they were performed 04 (four) in 2010 interviews with the management framework SEDIS / UAB in UFRN. The data were analyzed and addressed through techniques: Document Analysis and Content Analysis. The results show that the process of implementation of distance education at UFRN is in progress. According to our results, the research objective is achieved, but there was a need to rethink the conditions of the infrastructure of poles, the structure of the academic calendar, the management of the SEDIS UFRN, regarding the expansion of existing vacancies and the supply of new courses by the need for a redesign as the Secretariat's ability to hold the offerings of undergraduate courses offered by the Federal Government to be implemented in the institution. It was also found that levels of evasion still presents a challenge to the teaching model. Given the context, we concluded that the greatest contribution of UAB and consequently UFRN by distance learning for undergraduate courses (Bachelor in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geography and Biological Sciences, beyond the bachelor's degrees in Business and Public Administration ) is related to increasing the number of vacancies and accessibility of a population that was previously deprived of access to university
