O programa de integração e formação como meio de inclusão social e inovação pedagógica: um olhar etnográfico

Esta investigação inserida no mestrado em Ciências da Educação- Inovação Pedagógica tem como objetivo conhecer a cultura escolar, designadamente, as práticas pedagógicas no âmbito do programa, Plano Integrado de Educação e Formação (PIEF), num estabelecimento de ensino do Funchal. A procura de uma eventual mudança de paradigma, assim como, de inovação pedagógica, poderá comprovar e reforçar a necessidade de alterar os trilhos que levam a Escola atual a afastar-se do lugar-comum. Nesta perspetiva, o rumo a seguir passará pela Mudança, podendo o foco da mesma estar numa pequena comunidade (cultura) ou num programa, cujo estudo particular permitirá conhecer como atuam os seus agentes de aprendizagem. O desafio central da investigação emana da seguinte questão: Será o PIEF um meio de inclusão e, em simultâneo, de inovação pedagógica? Com vista a evidenciar a pertinência desta questão, foram desenvolvidos conceitos temas e abordadas teorias de aprendizagem contemporâneas que ao se concretizarem como suporte teórico de fundamentação, contextualizam o estudo e constituem a base de orientação para o trabalho de investigação no campo. A metodologia de investigação privilegiada apresenta um carácter etnográfico, uma vez que particulariza o conhecimento dos fenómenos sociais, a microanálise e a visão holística sobre a comunidade local. A definição do seu foco associado a um programa e a sua delimitação no tempo e no espaço classifica-o de estudo de caso etnográfico. O objetivo final será compreender e analisar a cultura da Escola Vila Mar através da observação participante e das narrativas dos seus intervenientes, de modo a aferir da veracidade ou logro da questão basilar. A necessidade de implementação do programa PIEF nesta escola foi a resposta encontrada face à inadequação do currículo nacional, no entanto, não se verificou no seu estudo o ímpeto suficiente para criar a metamorfose necessária.

Aptidão física associada à saúde e fatores psicossociais: diferenças entre praticantes de ginástica rítmica, desportos colectivos e não praticantes do sexo feminino, dos 9 aos 15 anos

Esta dissertação contempla dois estudos e possui como objetivos: (1) estudar a relação entre a participação desportiva, aptidão física (AptF), atividade física (AF) e sedentarismo e (2) determinar a influência do apoio parental, dos pares e da autoeficácia nos níveis de AF geral e organizada. Participaram em ambos os estudos 240 raparigas, com idades entre os 9 e 15 anos, 71 praticantes de ginástica rítmica (GR), 87 de desportos coletivos (DC) e 82 não praticantes (NP). As participantes foram avaliadas na altura, peso, perímetro da cintura e pregas de adiposidade tricipital e geminal. A AptF foi avaliada através da bateria de teste FitnessGram (Cooper Institute, 2010). A AF (Crocker et al., 1997), atividades sedentárias (ASed), a maturação sexual (Tanner, 1962), o apoio parental e dos pares (Prochaska et al., 2002) e a autoeficácia (Motl et al., 2000) foram avaliados através de questionários. Principais resultados: (1) independentemente do grupo de participação desportiva constataram-se reduzidos níveis de AF e de AptF; as ginastas apresentam níveis de AptF e de AF mais elevados comparativamente às NP (p<0,05) e praticantes de DC (p>0,05), não se registando diferenças nas ASed (p>0,05). (2) Verificou-se diferenças no apoio social (parental e dos pares) e na autoeficácia, entre as NP com as praticantes de DC (p<0,05) e com as praticantes de GR (p<0,05). As ginastas reportaram, em média, níveis mais elevados de apoio social (parental e dos pares) e de autoeficácia. Através da regressão linear múltipla, constata-se que níveis mais elevados de apoio parental e dos pares estão associados a níveis de AF mais elevados (p>0,05), sendo que 9,8% da variabilidade dos níveis de AF é explicado pelo apoio parental e 4,1% pelo apoio dos pares. Este trabalho reforça a necessidade de elaboração de programas de intervenção que potencializem a AF, e que devem contemplar estratégias de apoio social e promoção da autoeficácia.

A integração das TIC nas atividades curriculares sob o olhar da inovação pedagógica

A presente dissertação - “A integração das TIC nas Atividades Curriculares sob o Olhar da Inovação Pedagógica” decorre de uma investigação realizada ao longo do ano letivo 2012/2013 numa turma de 4º ano de uma escola de 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico na Região Autónoma da Madeira. Partindo da formulação da questão - Como é que a integração das TIC na curricular promove inovação pedagógica? – pretendeu-se estudar e compreender como é que acontece a integração curricular das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) nas atividades curriculares e de que forma a prática pedagógica daí decorrente poderia constituir ou não inovação pedagógica. Num primeiro momento procedeu-se à revisão da literatura relacionada com o tema da investigação. Assim, o debate construiu-se não só em torno da temática da inovação pedagógica, linha orientadora do mestrado mas também da relação existente entre as TIC e a inovação pedagógica, pondo em evidência o modo como estes dois conceitos se cruzam nas práticas pedagógicas. No sentido de contribuir para um enquadramento teórico mais eficaz, foi feita uma breve abordagem à introdução das TIC na Educação, ao enquadramento das TIC nas escolas de 1º Ciclo da Região Autónoma da Madeira bem como a sua integração nas atividades curriculares. Tratando-se da observação de uma turma, a metodologia considerada mais eficaz foi o estudo de caso. Os dados foram recolhidos através da observação participante periférica, traduzida no diário de campo, bem como da análise documental. Assim, através desta investigação, de natureza qualitativa, foi possível observar, descrever e analisar um contexto específico, tornando-se claro que as práticas pedagógicas que aí ocorreram ainda se encontram muito distantes da inovação pedagógica. Sobressaíram, desta forma, práticas enraizadas numa cultura de inovação e tecnologia educativas, não se evidenciando, portanto, a rutura paradigmática preconizada pela inovação pedagógica.

Política de promoção da exportação : um olhar sobre a evolução da cultura de melão do Rio Grande do Norte

Some sectors in Brazil are earning notoriety in the international market, configuring itself in dynamic areas for the Country. The most typical case is the agribusiness. Rio Grande do Norte state has important role, because 90% of the output of the melon exported by Brazil is produced at Assu/Mossoró. The present work planned to verify the evolution of the culture of the melon produced at Assu/Mossoró area, from 1990 to 2003. Through descriptive research, utilizing the case study and documentary analysis of secondary data this work showed the evolution of the area reaped of melon in the pole Assu/Mossoró, the quantity produced of melon and of the value of the output of the melon between 1990 and 2003. The research verified that all of the factors studied show growth during the analyzed period, showing up the importance of the agribusiness for the region. However the analysis shows the vulnerability of the sector concerning external macroeconomics factors, such as the exchange rates. Showing the importance and/or dependence of the producers for public actions to development of the culture, that might be on areas like infrastructure, economics or taxes

Da promessa à realidade: a cidade potiguar do século XIX, a partir do olhar da elite

The purpose of this research is to apprehend the perception that the ruling elite, especially the Presidents of the province of Rio Grande do Norte/Brazil, had about the potiguar city, that is, the urban localities existing in the province along the 19th century. By interweaving political, administrative, socioeconomic and spatial aspects, the study of this perception involves two distinct moments, which are also linked: a moment of apprehension of the city, that is, how the elite seizes, describes and criticizes the city; and, a second moment, which occurs simultaneously or after the first moment, of intervention in the city, in which the elite exposes its vision and projects for the city and for the territory. Rather than describing the potiguar city in itself, the research is an attempt to reveal how it was perceived along this process from a particular standpoint or discourse, official and elitist, which did not correspond necessarily or completely to what it was in reality. We tried to understand, always through the lens of the discourse, how the ruling elite perceived the potiguar city based on what their members thought about other urban realities, particularly of the advanced countries; how, within an integrated vision, this city was characterized in political, administrative, socioeconomic and spatial terms and how it consolidated itself along the period established for the research. Qualitative and historical in nature, this study was also methodologically developed based upon bibliographical and documental research. Given the fact that this research works with descriptions, comparisons and interpretations, it was necessary to make use of tools such as the discourse analysis in order to apprehend, as much as possible, what lay behind the words of the elite. The primary sources used were essentially the official documents produced by the Presidents of the province, as well as other documents written by top government officials and other members of the administration staff, all of them composing the so-called ruling elite of Rio Grande do Norte. Secondary sources were books and other publications, theses and dissertations, among others. The research made possible the identification of a certain perception of the potiguar city in the 19th century, which is certainly limited because it is grounded on a specific discourse - that of the political and administrative elite, but which, in spite of such a limitation, is still useful to understand the city and its evolution along the period established, among other noteworthy remarks

A concepção estrutural como expressão plástica: um olhar tectônico sobre arquitetura em madeira

This work regards to the structural conception as a formal element of design in wood architecture. On this approach, the group of projects studied is formed by some realized works of two important Brazilian architects: Severiano Porto and Marcos Acayaba. The time interval comprises the period from 1971 to 1997, which correspond respectively to the years of the creation of first and the last of the analyzed constructions. The research perspective concerns to the relationship between the parts, the whole and the building techniques adopted in each project. Moreover, the analysis focuses on the structure as the link among the different projectual ideas. Thus, the research method firstly includes a survey of specific bibliographies and documents which refer to the structural conception in wood architecture. Secondly,the buildings are analyzed according to the methods of architectural composition discussed through this work.

Um olhar sociológico sobre a criança e o brincar: espaço e tempo de construção, reinvenção e aprendizagem

This research I discuss the play, also talking with the other subjects that make up the universe in which the play is inserted, such as family, school and culture. The fundamental proposition of this dissertation assumes that the absence of play in children's lives affect their physical structure, psychological, biological, cultural, social, historical and theirs development. The initial questions were: What are the spacetimes reserved in the school for play? What is the importance of play in the development of children? Does the school recognize the importance of play in its social space? How the children perceive and use the spacetimes to play at school? Are there spacetimes at school to play? This is a theoretical and empirical research of exploratory study. The research‟s field was the Municipal School Professor Ulysses Góes, located in district of Nova Descoberta, in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte and, as research techniques, I used: participant observation, photography, structured interviews with students and questionnaires with teachers. The results indicate that for most of children, the school allows the play, few disagree with this preposition.Teachers recognize the importance of play in school, but for various reasons do not provide your practice. The dissertation points the possibility of new studies and developments for the theme.

A PERCEPÇÃO DO ESPAÇO PÚBLICO NA MODERNIDADE: UM OLHAR SOBRE A CIDADE DE NATAL

It investigates the perception of the public space in the city of Natal. It approaches, therefore apprehension forms, entails and experiences, in the formalization in the way of seeing, to live and to interact with that part of the urban territoriality. With that perspective, they were focalized, especially, three periods lived in Natal: the first two decades of the century XX, the beginning of the forties, also of the previous century, and the scenery with which that city comes at the present time. With that direction, it puts back in focus, and for reflection, not just an universe that makes possible the people to interact, independent of the individual will of each one, but also the importance of that interaction for the social and political life of the city and for the formation of a wider and interactive vision of the people with yours surroundings

A casa própria: sonho ou realidade? : um olhar sobre os conjuntos habitacionais em Natal

This dissertation is about housing provision under a capitalist system. It aims at analyzing the economic relevance of the Brazilian housing policy, in particular, looking at the housing estates built in Natal city. It also draws on a data-base about living and housing conditions in Natal, produced in the wake of a more comprehensive research of the 50 largest housing estates in the city. Theoretically, the dissertation discusses: the symbolic dimension of housing; housing as a commodity; the alleged social and economic stability of homeownership; and the urban dynamic of housing estates. It also discusses the historic and conceptual references of the Brazilian housing policy and its consequences to Natal city. From the 1960s, polilcy under the BNH privileged the production of large housing estates. Although this was more closely related to economic rather than social objectives, this policy helped expand the urban limits. This was the case for Natal. At the end, this policy was not targeted towards the poorest in society but towards those low income house buyers who could afford to pay for the mortgages on offer

Relações de poder, fragmentação e gestão do território no semi-árido nordestinho: um outro olhar sobre o Cariri paraibano

This study aims to analize the Cariri Paraibano territory, as a product of relations of power that were being established along its historic process of territory formation. In this process, the fragmentation and the territory management are fundamental elements to socioterritorial reality comprehension. The theoretical-conceptual basis is based on notions of territory, region, power and territory management, which are articulated to the opinions and empiric confirmations origined from interviews made with several social actions. They also were made photographical records and researches on books, newspapers and magazines, as well on other information sources related to the object of studying. Obtained data confirm the pressuposement on which the relations of dominations and the used methods by the power s owners in the region created a little fruitful political practice and little adequate to the process of active participation of the local population on the territory management, even being on disagreement with the new political-institutional mechanisms, which take to political-administrative more democratic and participative in the country

Do olhar inquieto ao olhar comprometido: uma experiência de intervenção voltada para a atuação com alunos que apresentam paralisia cerebral

Compte tenu de l importance de la formation des enseignants pour répondre, de nos jours, aux besoins des élèves dont les caractéristiques marquantes sont la diversité et la différentiation, desquels nécessairement font partie , à un échelon croissant, des personnes atteintes d une déficience quelconque ; devant le constat que les actuelles politiques d éducation, en fonction de leurs limitations, peuvent être considérées comme un des principaux facteurs qui entravent la concrétisation d un vrai processus d inclusion de ces personnes ; compte tenu, encore, que le confront des situations éducatives concernant le processus d inclusion de ceux ayant des déficiences physiques, notamment lorsqu il s agit d élèves atteints de paralysie cérébrale, engendre chez les enseignants un état de troublante inquiétude du fait de ne se sentir convenablement préparés pour se confronter avec des situations pareilles, cette recherche, centrée sur cette problématique, a chosi comme objectif planifier, mettre en marche et analyser un programme d intervention pédagogique dans une école régulière de la ville de Natal/RN, auprès de quatre enseignants de l école fondamentale (7e Série) qui avaient reçu, dans leur classe, deux élèves atteints de paralysie cérébrale. S utilisant comme recours méthodologique de la recherche-action, le programme d intervention s est structuré autour de troix axes thématiques : l attitudinal, le pédagogique et le vécu en milieu scolaire, sous la forme de discussions théoriques et la mise en oeuvre de ces thématiques. Les données qui devraient être soumises à l analyse ont été collectées à partir des procédés d observation, d entretiens avant et après l intervention, du régistre de photos et d un questionnaire. Les interprétations faites, basées dans la comparaison du discours des sujets ont signalé que les enseignants ont progressé dans la maîtrise des savoirs scienfiques concernant la paralysie cérébrale et dans la connaissance des personnes atteintes par cette déficience. Par rapport aux valeurs et significations attribuées par les enseignants à ce programme d intervention à partir de leur choix des photos dans l ensemble du déroulement de ce processus formatif, elles s expriment par une prise de conscience très marquée, de la part des enseignants, par rapport :aux besoins éducatifs des élèves atteints de paralysie cérébrale ; à l importance et au vrai rôle que l école doit jouer face aux politiques d éducation inclusive ; aux difficultés vécues par ces personnes, qui réclament le plus profond respect de leurs ingularités ; la reconstruction d une nouvelle image concernant ces personnes ; la constatation qu il est possible aux enseignants d adapter et même de créer à l école des ressources et matériaux pédagogiques envisageant la qualité du processus d enseignement et apprentissage de l élève atteint de paralysie cérébrale ; finalement, la perception de l importance du travail en équipe, d un milieu scolaire accessible à ces personnes et de l appuis de la famille dans le contexte de l éducation inclusive. Les résultats obtenus, issus de ce programme d intervention, d après l évaluation finale des sujets, de part de témoigner de son efficacité, montrent que l intervention a été une excellente opportunité d habiliter ces enseignants et d améliorer le processus d enseignement à l école choisie comme le locus de cette recherche
