Psicanálise e educação: uma questão diante da prática em uma escola pública

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo central a reflexão acerca da possibilidade de inserção da psicanálise no trabalho na área da educação, especificamente em escolas públicas da Prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro. O estudo foi instigado pela experiência em instituições educacionais, o que levou ao surgimento de diversas indagações a respeito do campo da educação, englobando não só as questões da práxis psicanalítica na escola, mas também as questões políticas, econômicas, sociais e éticas que atravessam essa instituição e extrapolam o campo da psicanálise. Neste percurso, foi realizado um resgate histórico da educação pública no Brasil, sobretudo na Primeira República, trazendo para a discussão alguns movimentos deste campo, como o escolanovismo e a pedagogia libertária. Ademais, ressaltou-se o papel da psicologia na educação neste mesmo período. A partir disso, procurou-se distinguir a psicanálise da psicoterapia, levando em conta a especificidade teórica, clínica e ética da psicanálise, o que evidencia a revolução discursiva operada por Sigmund Freud. Por fim, objetivou-se situar a questão do sujeito na escola, que pode ser trabalhada a partir de uma diversidade de dispositivos psicanalíticos, sendo fundamental o estabelecimento e manejo da transferência.Concluiu-se ainda que o trabalho institucional está vinculado à clínica uma vez que envolve a escuta e o fazer falar.

O movimento humano e sua interface com o letramento

O movimento humano, que é o tema dessa tese, teve e tem um papel extraordinário na história do homem no planeta, e na sua própria história de vida. Essa pesquisa, que situa-se em um campo epistemológico comum à Educação e à Educação Física, tem o objetivo geral de definir o papel do movimento humano no processo de letramento, com vistas à formação do licenciado em Educação Física. Para isso, lança mão de uma metodologia que se utiliza da pesquisa científica de base teórico-conceitual, valendo-se do método de investigação de caráter qualitativo e teórico, para sua construção. Como estratégia para o seu desenvolvimento, opto por uma construção singular onde já na introdução discuto e defino os conceitos básicos que darão suporte à tese, por isso essa parte toma um encorpamento maior em volume e importância. Os capítulos são construídos em formato de artigos que, ao mesmo tempo em que se encerram em si mesmos, eles conduzem na direção do objetivo maior da tese, o que se torna claro na conclusão geral da tese onde construo as amarras entre os temas que foram discutidos. Assim, ao investigar o movimento humano, a partir de sua ação para o desenvolvimento cognitivo do sujeito, com o objetivo de dar sustentação à teoria que afirma existirem interfaces entre movimento humano e letramento, foi possível debater vários assuntos ligados ao corpo, à cultura, aos modos de pensamento, à Educação Física e, logicamente ao movimento humano e ao letramento. Finalmente essa pesquisa conclui a existência de uma ligação direta entre movimento humano e desenvolvimento cognitivo do sujeito, o que leva também a possuir interfaces claras e objetivas entre o movimento humano com o processo de letramento, na medida em que a essência do letramento é ser um processo de desenvolvimento cognitivo constante, instalado em uma determinada cultura. Finalmente, visto como um objetivo interdisciplinar, o letramento se apresenta como um tema que também deve ser considerado e buscado pelo professor de Educação Física escolar, se tornando assim um agente de letramento na escola

Escolarização de adolescentes em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa de internação: estudo bibliográfico

Este estudo teve como temática a escolarização no sistema socioeducativo brasileiro. Buscou-se a partir de bibliografia especializada efetuar a análise da escolarização de adolescentes em conflito com a lei em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa de internação, ou seja, privados de liberdade. A dissertação foi construída prioritariamente a partir de documentos acadêmicos disponibilizadas no portal da CAPES e em sites de universidades brasileiras. Buscou-se realizar um balanço da produção científica sobre o tema no país, tendo como recorte os textos produzidos na área de concentração educação. O período temporal foi delimitado entre janeiro de 2010 e maio de 2015. A produção analisada é composta por 20 dissertações de mestrado e três teses de doutorado, totalizando 23 documentos acadêmicos. Após a seleção, os documentos foram sistematizados através do instrumento metodológico de pesquisa, Mapa Conceitual, e posteriormente, pelo software ATLAS.ti, o que colaborou para análise e comparação dos documentos estudados, permitindo identificar os temas discutidos, os autores utilizados e as temáticas e subtemáticas pouco estudadas ou não mencionadas no que tange a escolarização de adolescentes internados. O objetivo central do estudo foi analisar de que modo os documentos acadêmicos acessados apresentavam a escolarização dos adolescentes em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa de internação. Percebeu-se que a escola acaba sendo, equivocadamente, responsabilizada pelo caráter pedagógico e educativo proposto pela socioeducação. Verificou-se que a escolarização para adolescentes institucionalizados em unidades socioeducativas de privação de liberdade apresenta todas as mazelas da escolarização extra-muros, e incorpora, na maioria das vezes, aspectos punitivos, repressivos e disciplinares das unidades de internação. A escolarização não tem sido realizada de forma a garantir esse direito aos adolescentes. O estudo sinalizou os encaminhamentos nacionais para a promulgação das Diretrizes Nacionais para a escolarização em unidades socioeducativas, que tendem a amenizar a situação. Ao escamotear a má qualidade da escola e negar o direito a uma educação escolar qualitativa, entende-se que os adolescentes vivenciam o não direito à escolarização, restando a estes apenas a inclusão precária no sistema de ensino, e posteriormente, o processo de culpabilização da vítima, pautado em um discurso meritocrático, que reafirma o adolescente como desinteressado pela escola, incapaz de seguir seu processo de escolarização e mal comportado, pois interessado apenas em novos atos infracionais.

Determinismo o libertad. Consumo y NTICs en la escuela del siglo XXI

Entre las peculiaridades en nuestra sociedad occidental actual figura la presencia invasiva de la nueva cultura mediática del consumo y los cambios que esta ha provocado en el entorno de cada sujeto. En la medida en que niños y adolescentes pasan menos tiempo con su familia y se exponen más a los medios, éstos adquieren mayor protagonismo en la construcción de su universo cultural convirtiéndose en una fuente de heteronomía y perjudicando a las instituciones educativas. Afortunada o desafortunadamente, este fenómeno evoluciona de forma inmediata y cualquier estudio queda obsoleto en un periodo de tiempo muy reducido. Sin embargo, es necesario realizar trabajos que permitan conocer la sociedad del momento, sus transformaciones y sus nuevas formas de vida. Para ello y con el objetivo de encontrar alternativas que impidan la disociación del proceso de socialización, se ha realizado una pequeña investigación teórica sobre los diferentes agentes socializadores y su cambio de rol así como un estudio de caso en busca de evidencias empíricas que han permitido extraer conclusiones al respecto.

IInformacyjne wspomaganie oświaty

In view of a constant growth of writings on didactic and educational problems it is necessary to create an efficient system of scientific educational information. This system will provide creative teachers with materials that will facilitate the selection and access to materials that will enrich the teachers' methodological base and their own intellectual potential by means of a network of school and pedagogical libraries. Such well-organized and efficiently operating system at the level of the school superintendent's office, whose links will be educational institutions as well as those that improve teaching methods of the teaching staff, may be of great information and practical importance in the present age of rapid transformations. It will become an instrument that will make contact with pedagogical writings and improvement of qualifications of the teaching staff possible.

Evaluation of Serious Games: A Holistic Approach

Digital games constitute a major emerging technology that is expected to enter mainstream educational use within a few years. The highly engaging and motivating character of such games bears great potential to support immersive, meaningful, and situated learning experiences. To seize this potential, meaningful quality and impact measurements are indispensible. Although there is a growing body of evidence on the efficacy of games for learning, evaluation is often poorly designed, incomplete, biased, if not entirely absent. Well-designed evaluations demonstrating the educational effect as well as the return on investment of serious games may foster broader adoption by educational institutions and training providers, and support the development of the serious game industry. The European project RAGE introduces a comprehensive and multi-perspective framework for serious game evaluation, which is presented in this paper.

BARRIERS AND SOLUTIONS TO OPEN SOURCE APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: INNOVATION THROUGH COLLABORATION

It has been proposed that the field of appropriate technology (AT) - small-scale, energy efficient and low-cost solutions, can be of tremendous assistance in many of the sustainable development challenges, such as food and water security, health, shelter, education and work opportunities. Unfortunately, there has not yet been a significant uptake of AT by organizations, researchers, policy makers or the mainstream public working in the many areas of the development sector. Some of the biggest barriers to higher AT engagement include: 1) AT perceived as inferior or ‘poor persons technology’, 2) questions of technological robustness, design, fit and transferability, 3) funding, 4) institutional support, as well as 5) general barriers associated with tackling rural poverty. With the rise of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for online networking and knowledge sharing, the possibilities to tap into the collaborative open-access and open-source AT are growing, and so is the prospect for collective poverty reducing strategies, enhancement of entrepreneurship, communications, education and a diffusion of life-changing technologies. In short, the same collaborative philosophy employed in the success of open source software can be applied to hardware design of technologies to improve sustainable development efforts worldwide. To analyze current barriers to open source appropriate technology (OSAT) and explore opportunities to overcome such obstacles, a series of interviews with researchers and organizations working in the field of AT were conducted. The results of the interviews confirmed the majority of literature identified barriers, but also revealed that the most pressing problem for organizations and researchers currently working in the field of AT is the need for much better communication and collaboration to share the knowledge and resources and work in partnership. In addition, interviews showcased general receptiveness to the principles of collaborative innovation and open source on the ground level. A much greater focus on networking, collaboration, demand-led innovation, community participation, and the inclusion of educational institutions through student involvement can be of significant help to build the necessary knowledge base, networks and the critical mass exposure for the growth of appropriate technology.

The elimination of the tutoring group-hour in Secondary Education. An exploratory study about teachers thoughts.

The Tutoring Group-hour in Compulsory Secondary Education and Post-Compulsory Schooling has been eliminated in a number of autonomous communities. Given the importance of the tutorial act as one of the fundamental pillars in students overall development, its disappearance has created considerable disturbance in the educational institutions, sparking a debate regarding the role of the tutor and the impact and effectiveness of their actions. In this survey, teachers from two different schools in the Community of Madrid maintain that they are properly trained to perform the various duties required for a tutor, show strong disagreement to the elimination of the Tutoring Group-hour in secondary schools, advocate incorporating it at a primary school level, and consider one of the main consequences of its disappearance to be less personalized attention for students. In short, an educational response that is less effective.

Social Networks Usage Profile: Descriptive study with students in the University of Murcia

Telematic tools are very important for our lives in the present era and moreover this idea is made more evident if we analyse young people behaviours. However, it seems that the possibilities that these tools allow subjects from a professional point of view, beyond the purely playful aspects, are still not fully exploited both by subjects, neither by educational institutions where they learn. Our work studies the uses of social media in the context of university students. In order to this we have designed a research based on quantitative methodology with a survey. We have applied a questionnaire to students in the University of Murcia. The questionnaire was answered by 487 students in the first half of 2014. The survey results confirm our hypothesis that social networks are part of the basic and habitual tools of communication between the youth of our university and eminently used for leisure purposes, and that the tools used for more academic activities are those allowing greater control of privacy.

The Rights of Religious Associations to External Relations: A Comparative Study of the OSCE and the Council of Europe

This paper argues that religious associations have a number of substantive rights when it comes to their external relations. It does so though comparing the position of the OSCE and the Council of Europe. This paper considers whether the emerging framework includes: (1) a right to legal entity status, (2) a right to establish and run charitable or educational institutions, (3) a right to privileges and substantive benefits and (4) a right to anything else. It concludes that the current developments are welcome because religious freedom has a collective aspect that is essential to the lives of many believers.

Public health education for midwives and midwifery students: a mixed methods study

Background: Current national and international maternity policy supports the importance of addressing public health goals and investing in early years. Health care providers for women during the reproductive and early postnatal period have the opportunity to encourage women to make choices that will impact positively on maternal and fetal health. Midwives are in a unique position, given the emphasis of the philosophy of midwifery care on building relationships and incorporating a holistic approach, to support women to make healthy choices with the aim of promoting health and preventing ill health. However, exploration of the educational preparation of midwives to facilitate public health interventions has been relatively limited. The aim of the study was to identify the scope of current midwifery pre registration educational provision in relation to public health and to explore the perspectives of midwives and midwifery students about the public health role of the midwife.

Methods: This was a mixed methods study incorporating a survey of Higher Educational Institutions providing pre registration midwifery education across the UK and focus groups with midwifery students and registered midwives.

Results: Twenty nine institutions (53% response) participated in the survey and nine focus groups were conducted (59 participants). Public health education was generally integrated into pre registration midwifery curricula as opposed to taught as a discrete subject. There was considerable variation in the provision of public health topics within midwifery curricula and the hours of teaching allocated to them. Focus group data indicated that it was consistently difficult for both midwifery students and midwives to articulate clearly their understanding and definition of public health in relation to midwifery.

Conclusions: There is a unique opportunity to impact on maternal and infant health throughout the reproductive period; however the current approach to public health within midwifery education should be reviewed to capitalise on the role of the midwife in delivering public health interventions. It is clear that better understanding of midwifery public health roles and the visibility of public health within midwifery is required in order to maximise the potential contribution of midwives to achieving short and long term public health population goals.

The Changing Context for Planning Education in the UK and the Prospects for Research-Led, Practice-Engaged Teaching

The UK’s Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) celebrates its centenary in 2014, marking 100 years of close relationships between university-based Planning Schools and a professional body focussed on planning practice. During this period, the context for university education and the very idea of planning has changed dramatically contributing to a continual renegotiation of the relationships between the planning profession and the educational institutions it accredits. These changes have been particularly acute in the last ten years where a number of factors have forced a rapid change in the nature of planning education in the UK. This has included a boom and then slump in the number of planning students linked to the national economic situation, a reorganisation of many planning schools and their merger with cognate disciplines such as geography and an increased focus of research output, rather than professional engagement the key institutional indicator of success. This last factor adds a particularly new dimension to the profession-university relationship, which could potentially lead to either a straining of tensions or a synergy through research-led teaching that could significantly benefit both.

This paper will briefly review the evolution of UK planning schools and the co-evolution of the main ideas informing planning education. It will then describe the current profile of UK planning schools, based on an extensive national survey conducted on behalf of the Royal Town Planning Institute. The paper will then critically review the main challenges and opportunities facing UK Planning Schools in the context of changes in both planning practice and higher education. It will then move on to the concept of research-led teaching, drawing on current practice in the UK and review how well this concept serves students and the idea of developing reflective planning practitioners. Finally, the paper will seek to draw broad lessons from the experience of the UK and reflect on the type of planning education that can best serve planning professions in a variety of international contexts in the future.

A study to evaluate the introduction of simulation as a teaching strategy for the mental health and learning disability fields of nursing, in an undergraduate nursing curriculum within one higher education institution

High Fidelity Simulation or Human Patient Simulation is an educational strategy embedded within nursing curricula throughout many healthcare educational institutions. This paper reports on an evaluative study that investigated the views of a group of Year 2 undergraduate nursing students from the mental health and the learning disability fields of nursing (n = 75) in relation to simulation as a teaching pedagogy. The study took place in the simulation suite within a School of Nursing and Midwifery in the UK. Two patient scenarios were used for the session and participants completed a 22-item questionnaire consisting of three biographical information questions and a 19-item Likert scale. Descriptive statistics were employed to illustrate the data and non-parametric testing (Mann-Whitney U test) was employed to test a number of hypotheses. Overall students were positive about the introduction of patient scenarios using the human patient simulator into the undergraduate nursing curriculum. This study used a small, convenience sample in one institution and therefore the results obtained cannot be generalised to nursing education before further research can be conducted with larger samples and a mixed-method research approach. However these results provide encouraging evidence to support the use of simulation within the mental health and the learning disability fields of nursing, and the development and implementation of further simulations to complement the students’ practicum.
