Actualmente, la sociedad de la información ha establecido el uso frecuente de las tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), lo cual ha permitió que las estrategias pedagógicas lideradas por la docencia, evoluciones y permitan el desarrollo de habilidades de formación que permitan a los alumnos consolidar su aprendizaje por medio de herramientas virtuales. El presente trabajo es un estudio el cual tiene como propósito verificar si los docentes de la Universidad del Rosario, del programa de Administración de Empresas de la facultad de administración, están realizando un buen manejo de la plataforma rosarista, llamada Moodle.

La formación en administración en Colombia: una contribución histórica del desarrollo empresarial

l El desarrollo empresarial colombiano contribuyó con la formación de profesionales de la administración debido a requerimientos de las organizaciones de personal capacitado para interpretar la empresa y el entorno. Las condiciones permitieron que algunas universidades se dedicaran a organizar programas nocturnos para unir la teoría con la práctica y el surgimiento de disciplinas cercanas a la profesión fue un soporte de carácter académico.

Matronas, sacerdotisas, mujeres caritativas y mujeres públicas: caridad, género y política en Santa Fe de Bogotá, 1855 - 1886

El texto tiene por objetivo examinar las conexiones que se establecieron entre género y política en tres asociaciones de caridad de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX en Bogotá. El estudio de la Congregación de la Caridad, la Asociación del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y de la Sociedad Protectora de Niños Desamparados desde una perspectiva que vincule género y política permite captar ambigüedades, contradicciones, conflictos y fisuras presentes y operantes en la constitución de los partidos políticos y en los diferentes proyectos de orden social que estaban en disputa en el mundo político del siglo XIX.

L'adquisició de la lectura en una mostra d'alumnes de segon a cinquè d'Educació Primària

L'objectiu general d'aquesta tesi fou estudiar longitudinalment l'adquisició lectora (català i castellà), de 2n. a 5è. cursos d'Educació Primària, en una mostra de 214 alumnes (101 nenes i 113 nens) d'una escola pública catalana, a partir dels resultats obtinguts en les Proves Psicopedagògiques d'Aprenentatges Instrumentals (P.P.A.I.; Canals, Carbonell, Estaún i Añaños, 1988), aplicades a principi i final de cada curs. Les P.P.A.I. valoren la velocitat i exactitud de descodificació lectora a través de la lectura de textos diferents per a cada curs, i la comprensió lectora mitjançant exercicis diferents per a cada curs (ordenar frases, executar ordres escrites, respondre qüestions sobre el contingut d'un text...). Els resultats van ser: -La majoria de la mostra, escolaritzada en català, amb independència de la llengua més parlada a casa (català o castellà), van desenvolupar progressivament i de forma similar les habilitats lectores (català i castellà) iniciades en cursos anteriors, aconseguint a finals de 5è. l'automatització dels procés de descodificació lectora en ambdues llengües. -La velocitat lectora pràcticament es va triplicar, passant d'unes 40 paraules/minut inicials a unes 130 paraules /minut a finals de 5è. - L'exactitud lectora també va augmentar i, a finals de 5è., la majoria de la mostra llegien sense quasi errors d'exactitud. -La comprensió lectora cada cop fou més elaborada i la majoria es van afrontar progressivament, amb èxit, a activitats més complexes de comprensió lectora. -En general, el desenvolupament de les habilitats lectores va ser bastant similar en els dos sexes, però a finals de 5è. es van detectar més nens que nenes amb nivell baix (descodificació i/o comprensió) i més nenes que nens amb nivell alt (descodificació i/o comprensió). -Els subjectes que es van situar en un nivell mig (descodificació i/o comprensió) a 2n., van ser els que més es van mantenir en el mateix nivell fins a 5è. En canvi, els que a 2n. mostraven nivells extrems (alt o baix), van evolucionar de forma més variable. -Es va observar que les habilitats adequades de descodificació lectora no van implicar, necessàriament, haver desenvolupat un bon nivell de comprensió lectora. I al revés, un bon nivell de comprensió no sempre va correlacionar amb un nivell correcte de descodificació. -Després de classificar la mostra en tres subgrups (mig, alt i baix) a partir dels resultats en descodificació i comprensió en català de l'última valoració de 5è., es van observar evolucions bastant paral·leles entre els subgrups en velocitat i comprensió, mantenint-se cada subgrup en el nivell que els definia al llarg dels diferents cursos. Però un 6,54% de la mostra, amb dificultats de comprensió lectora en català a finals de 5è, va experimentar, respecte la mostra i el seu propi rendiment en la primera valoració de 5è., una important disminució de la comprensió lectora a finals de 5è.

O fio de Ariadne : a formação contínua do PNEP e desenvolvimento da competência da leitura no 1.º CEB

Afirmando-se como uma necessidade premente, a qualidade da formação contínua de professores tem evoluído nos últimos anos. Esta urgência surge a partir das exigências que cada vez mais se sentem, quer a nível nacional, quer internacional, de um ensino e aprendizagem que acompanhe as mudanças sociais, tecnológicas e multiculturais. O Programa Nacional de Ensino do Português (PNEP), que surgiu pela necessidade de aumentar os níveis de literacia dos alunos portugueses, foi o objeto de estudo desta investigação. Nesta perspetiva, pretendeu-se identificar de que forma a formação de professores se articula com as dinâmicas da formação centrada nas escolas, no âmbito do PNEP, no desenvolvimento de competências de leitura dos alunos do 1.º CEB. Embora a aprendizagem do português padrão passe pelo ensino e aprendizagem de vários domínios, focalizou-se o estudo na relação entre a atitude reflexiva do professor e o desenvolvimento das capacidades leitoras dos alunos, através do ensino explícito de estratégias de compreensão de textos. O estudo empírico sustentou-se em autores como Alarcão (2002), Colomer & Camps (2008), García (1992), Lomas (2003), Pawlas, & Oliva, (2007), Sim-Sim (2007), entre outros. No estudo optou-se por uma metodologia mista, qualitativa e quantitativa. O caso em estudo, sobre o PNEP e a sua influência na formação docente, concretizou-se em contexto escolar e circunscreveu-se ao cenário profissional da investigadora. Durante o ano letivo 2009/10 sete professoras/formandas, sob a supervisão da investigadora/formadora, desenvolveram a sua prática pedagógica, num Agrupamento de Escolas na área de Gondomar. Assim, foram analisadas as reflexões contidas nos portefólios formativos das docentes. Em extensão, foi aplicado um inquérito por questionário, a cento e vinte e um professores dos Núcleos Regionais do Porto e Minho. Segundo os resultados obtidos, concluiu-se que a frequência do PNEP contribuiu para formar professores reflexivos que, ao mudarem práticas, potenciaram o desenvolvimento da competência de leitura dos alunos do 1.º CEB, o que se refletiu na melhoria dos resultados escolares, em todas as áreas do saber.

WNT5A Mutations in Patients With Autosomal Dominant Robinow Syndrome

Robinow syndrome is a skeletal dysplasia with both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance patterns. It is characterized by short stature, limb shortening, genital hypoplasia, and craniofacial abnormalities. The etiology of dominant Robinow syndrome is unknown; however, the phenotypically more severe autosomal recessive form of Robinow syndrome has been associated with mutations in the orphan tyrosine kinase receptor, ROR2, which has recently been identified as a putative WNT5A receptor. Here, we show that two different missense mutations in WNT5A, which result in amino acid substitutions of highly conserved cysteines, are associated with autosomal dominant Robinow syndrome. One mutation has been found in all living affected members of the original family described by Meinhard Robinow and another in a second unrelated patient. These missense mutations result in decreased WNT5A activity in functional assays of zebrafish and Xenopus development. This work suggests that a WNT5A/ROR2 signal transduction pathway is important in human craniofacial and skeletal development and that proper formation and growth of these structures is sensitive to variations in WNT5A function.

Itinerário educacional de uma aluna cega e a busca pela imagem adaptada

The scope of this study directs an investigation in search of how the blind person learns knowledge at school mediated by the image in context of an inclusive education and how it can be (or is) triggered by the adaptation of images to the tactile seizure of the blind person and his correlative process of reading. To achieve this intent we choose a qualitative approach of research and opted for the modality of case study, based on the empirical field of a public school in the city of Cruzeta, RN and as a the main subject a congenitally blind female student enrolled in high school there, focusing, often, on the discipline of geography in its words mapping. Our procedures for construction of data are directly involved to the documentary analysis of open reflective interview and observation. The base guiding theory of our assessments is located in the current understanding about the human psychological development of its educational process inside an inclusive perspective, of contemporary conceptions about the visual disability as well of image as a cultural product. Accordingly, the human person is a concrete subject, whose development is deeply marked by the culture, historically built by human society. This subject regardless of his specific features, grasping the world in an interactive and immediate way, internalising and producing culture. In this thinking, we believe that the blind person perceives in multiple senses the stimuli of his environment and acts in the world toward his integration into the social environment. The image as a product of culture, historically and socially determined, appears as a sign conventionally used as an icon that in itself concentrates knowledge of which the student who does not realize visually himself and his surroundings cannot be excluded. In this direction, the inclusive educational process must build conditions of access to knowledge for all students without distinction, including access to the interpretation of the images originally intended for the seizure strictly visual to other perceptive models. Based in this theory and adopting principles of content analysis, we circulated inside the interpretation of the data constructed from the analysis of documents, from the subject speeches, from records of the observation made in the classroom and other notes of the field daily. In the search for pictures on the school contents, adapted to the tactile seizure of blind student, was seen little and not systematic in practice and teaching at the school. It showed us the itinerary of the student life marked by a succession of supports, most of the time inappropriate and pioneers in cooling the construction of her autonomy. It also showed us the tensions and contradictions of a school environment, supposedly inclusive, that stumbles in search of its intent, in the attitudinal and cumulative barriers brought, because of its aggravating maintenance. These findings arose of crossing data around of a categorization that gives importance to 1) Concepts regarding the school inclusion, 2) Elements of the school organization, educational proposal and teaching practice, 3) Meaning of the visual image as the object of knowledge, 4) Perception in multiple senses and 5) Development and learning of the blind person before impositions of the social environment. In light of these findings we infer that it must be guaranteed to the disabled person removal of the attitudinal barriers that are against his full development and the construction of his autonomy. In that sense, should be given opportunity to the student with visual disability, similarly to all students, not only access to school, but also the dynamics of a school life efficient, that means the seizure of knowledge in all its modalities, including the imagery. To that end, there is a need of the continued training of teachers, construction of a support network in response to all needs of students, and the opportunity to development of reading skills beyond a perspective eminently focused in the sight

Linguagem matemática: uma proposta de ensino e avaliação da compreensão leitora dos objetos da matemática

This paper discusses aspects related to the mathematical language and its understanding, in particular, by students of final years of elementary school. Accordingly, we aimed to develop a proposal for teaching, substantiated by mathematical modeling activities and reading, which takes advantage of the student of elementary school a better understanding of mathematical language for the content of proportion. We also aim to build / propose parameters for the assessment of reading proficiency of the language of the student in analyzing and modeling process, its ability to develop/improve/enhance this proficiency. For this purpose, we develop a qualitative research, with procedures for an action research whose analysis of the data is configured as Content Analysis. We refer to epistemological and didactic, in the studies: Piaget (1975, 1990), Vygotsky (1991, 2001), Bakhtin (2006), Freire (1974, 1994), Bicudo and Garnica (2006), Smole and Diniz (2001), Barbosa (2001), Burak (1992), Biembengut (2004), Bassanezi (2002), Carrasco (2006), Becker (2010), Zuin and Reyes (2010), among others. We understand that to acquire new knowledge one must learn to read and reading to learn it, this process is essential for the development of reading proficiency of a person. Modeling, in turn, is a process which enables contact with different forms of reading providing elements favorable to the development here mentioned. The evaluation parameters we use to analyze the level of reading proficiency of mathematical language proved to be effective and therefore a valuable tool that allows the teacher an efficient evaluation and whose results can guide you better in the planning and execution of their practice

A tirinha cômica em questão: atividades de leitura no livro didático de língua portuguesa

You can see nowadays a more constant questioning about the validity and effectiveness of the practices of teaching reading currently introduced in elementary school. The intelligibilities generated from many voices, and built on the border between many consciences, it can contribute to understand and to some extent, alleviate skewed or outdated understandings about the teaching of reading and its goals in the school environment. By understanding the dynamics of these practices, which always need to be modified because of new social demands, we recognize the validity of working with the prospect of reading in its historical, social and dialogic dimension (Bakhtin, 1981, 2003). The Portuguese language textbook (LDP), in turn, being one of the fundamental bases of reading in school, makes a justified and necessary active production of knowledge about the theoretical and methodological conceptions that underlie the work with reading and on how that work is effectively routed. Our aim in this essay is precisely analyze reading activities in four Portuguese textbooks (Teacher s Manuals) for the 6th grade of elementary school, focusing on the proposed activities from a specific discursive genre, in this case, the comic strip. Through this research, we retrieve and list the goals that guide the development of reading activities in the LDP, and then verify a compliance or not of these objectives in directing the activities. Finally, we describe how the reading practices that involve the strip in the textbook can legitimize or reject the reading as an area of construction and circulation of meanings between socio-historically located subjects. We take account of studies on the nature and constitution of language (BAKHTIN, 1981, 2003, 2010; BAKHTIN/ VOLOSHINOV, 2006; SOUZA, 2002; GERALDI, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2006; ROJO, 2008a, 2008b, among others), as well especific studies about the activities in Portuguese textbooks (MARCUSCHI, 2010; BELMIRO, 2006; MENDONÇA, 2006, among others)
