Implementação da contabilidade analítica no Instituto Politécnico de Beja

A opção por uma gestão eficiente e eficaz é a resposta a dar à crescente racionalização de recursos que tem vindo a ser imposta às entidades públicas portuguesas e à qual não escapam as instituições que integram o sector do ensino superior. Assim sendo, estas entidades devem desenvolver e ao mesmo tempo, adoptar mecanismos que lhes permitam gerir recursos, quer os colocados à sua disposição, quer os gerados internamente, tendo em vista a sua optimização. Actualmente a prática da Contabilidade Analítica nas Instituições assume, cada vez mais, um papel dominante na análise e controlo dos custos, mas também dos proveitos e resultados por actividade. O objectivo da implementação deste Projecto, além de ser um desafio pessoal e Institucional, é uma obrigação legislativa, à qual pretendemos responder ao colocarmos em prática a Contabilidade Analítica, inserida no Plano Oficial de Contabilidade para o Sector Público - Sector da Educação, aprovado pela Portaria nº 794/2000, de 20 de Setembro. ABSTRACT: The choice of an efficient and effective management is the answer to the increasing rationalization of resources that have been imposed on portuguese public entities and of which the institutions from the higher education sector do not escape. Therefore, these entities must develop, and at the same time, adopt mechanisms that allow them to manage resources, both those placed at their disposal, and those that are internally generated, with an aim of optimization. Currently the practice of management accounting in the institutions assumes an increasingly a dominant role in the analysis and control of costs, but also in the income and earnings per activity. The purpose of implementing this project, besides being a personal and institutional challenge, is a legislative requirement that must be dealt with, by putting into practice the Management Accounting, inserted in the Official Accounting Plan for the Public Sector- Education Sector, approved by the Ordinance Nº 794/2000 of September 20.

Semiologia neurológica numa população de escolares da primeira série do ensino fundamental

We evaluated children in the first grade of a elementary school using neurological examination. With no previous knowledgement of their educational performance, were invited all children attending five classes of the first grade of an elementary public school chosen randomly, in Itatiba / Sao Paulo / Brazil, whose parents assigned a Commitment Term for participation in this research. Children who missed three evaluations in different days or whose parents did not assigned the Commitment Term were excluded. The Traditional Neurological Examination (ENT) (Lefevre, 1972) was applied. It was considered for normal the measurement of the skull circumference, proposed by Diament & Rodrigues (1976), and the application of all ENT items. The data were stored in a database of the Epi6 Program (Epidemiologic Information), and analyzed by percentage calculation and by the c2 test. The significance level was 0.05. Children evaluated were 124. The ENT results were normal in 87 (70.16%) and altered in 37 (29.83%). Among the alterations, there were observed: light tremor, light muscular hypotonia, speech acquisition delay, macrocephaly, microcephaly, hyperactivity, cranial nerve syndrome, central facial paralysis. One child presented corticospinal tract impairment syndrome of the distal lower extremities.

Diretrizes curriculares nacionais para o ensino médio: avaliação de documento

This text offers some contributions to the debate on the changes proposed to the National Curricular Directives to reform secondary education in Brazil. In the first part, the political and economic scene is evaluated as the context which generated the last stage of reforms in the educational field in the 90s. It questions the option for a model of structural reform (in the Brazilian case more restricted to the Program for Reform of Professional Education - PROEP) and of the curriculum, whose themes find their justification in the contemporary economic, social cultural and political context. It discusses the use of a model that bases itself on experiences developed in other countries and takes the international orientation of the multilateral organizations as its theoretical methodological reference, leaving out the peculiarities and injunctions of the Brazilian political administrative system. Such a policy measure can increase the tension and distance normally existing between government programs and the possibility of their real implementation in the school network. In the second part, it discusses the Resolution of the National Education Council, the Congress on Basic Education, no.3, of 16.698 that instituted the National Curricular Directives for secondary education, as well as the Legal Bases - Part I - of the National Curricular Parameters for secondary education. The analysis of official discourse takes Bardin's (1977, p. 209) proposals as its methodological reference for the models of structural analysis, seeking to make the implicit values and the connotations of the legal texts explicit

Governamentalidade democrática e ensino de Filosofia no Brasil contemporâneo

This article takes the concepts of biopower and governmentality as the starting point for an analysis of certain recent Brazilian government documents about the introduction of Philosophy as a subject in secondary school. In the 1980s, this argument centered on Philosophy's so-called criticism and its potential for preparing citizens for a democratic society, was used by the movements aimed to restore democracy in Brazil. This argument appears to have been assimilated by the Brazilian government, because it is stated in the Guidelines and Bases of Education Law, secondary school students should demonstrate knowledge of philosophy necessary for the exercise of citizenship. The argument also appears in documents such as the PCN and PCN+ (National Curricular Parameters) and OCEM (Curriculum Guidelines for Secondary School) in their chapters on Philosophy. These documents are examined here in the light of governmentality, making explicit how Philosophy is equipped to train young people according to what is understood as a modern democratic society.

Preparação de nanopartículas de prata e ouro: um método simples para a introdução da nanociência em laboratório de ensino

A new practical experiment involving silver and gold nanoparticle syntheses was introduced in an inorganic chemistry laboratory course for undergraduate students at the Institute of Chemistry, UNICAMP. The nanoparticles were synthesized by the reduction of silver nitrate and tetrachloroauric acid with sodium borohydride and sodium citrate in an aqueous medium. Stabilities of the suspensions were tested using several different reactants including sodium chloride, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol and cistamine. Changes in optical properties were observed by electronic spectra and also by transmission electronic microscopy, which also yielded data for estimating particle size.

A construção de uma escala de estratégias de aprendizagem para alunos do ensino fundamental

Although learning strategies are important tools for schooling process, there is a lack of national instruments to evaluate their knowledge by brazilian students. Therefore, the objectives of this paper are to describe the steps necessary for the construction of a scale to evaluate the learning strategies for basic education students and to present the preliminary study of its psychometric properties. It is also discussed the utility of this instrument for diagnosis, intervention and prevention in school and educational psychology.
