Naceu lá na serra uma linda flor: a fundação do Império Serrano (1947-1952)

As escolas de samba no Rio de Janeiro se constituíram como espaços privilegiados para atuação política dos moradores das comunidades e assim extrapolaram sua função primeira de promover o lazer para o carnaval em direção à visibilidade das comunidades a elas ligadas. Neste contexto, enfocam-se o Morro da Serrinha e a fundação da Escola de Samba Império Serrano, em uma ação que remonta as redes de relações sociais baseadas em laços familiares. a memória da história da escola vincula-se à memória das famílias locais, elementos centrais de produção e reprodução de um discurso legitimador para a agremiação na região. Através de uma espécie de discurso vencedor, desde os motivos para a fundação de uma nova escola para a região até os carnavais vencedores, a identidade local foi estabelecida em um movimento dialético, pois o lugar passou a ser identificado pela escola de samba, e esta e seus moradores pelo lugar. Assim foi possível identificar na rede familiar do Morro da Serrinha projetos próprios que, através da escola de samba, transpuseram barreiras sociais e angariaram benefícios para a região.

Project evaluation SOU-estuTUtor: mentors’ perception

The introduction of new degrees in the Faculty of Education and the relevance of educational guidance comes to them, as a compulsory subject in all four grades started from 2009-2010, gives the opportunity to return and boost the University Guidance Service (UGS) as a means of consistency with the profile of their education and professional development of its students. The aim of the paper focuses on the evaluation of the results after the first year of implementing a peer mentoring project, SOU-estuTUtor Project, developed from UGS with all degree students of the Faculty of Education for Students new entrants. Program has been evaluated through the perception and satisfaction of the mentors on the organization, training, skills developed and adapted to the needs of students. After one academic year of implementation, the results show, on the one hand, the satisfaction and commitment of those involved and the partial response to the needs of the students served, as well as the optimization of the personal resources of the university but also some limitations that make it necessary to review the mentoring program in terms of control and duration of the process.

University students with disabilities in Universities. A study of their inclusion

Access to higher education has increased among students with disabilities, and universities are adopting different alternatives which must be assessed. The purpose of this study was to identify the situation of a sample of students with disabilities (n=91) who attend a university in Spain, through the design and validation of the “CUNIDIS-d” scale, with satisfactory psychometric properties. The results show the importance of making reasoned curriculum adaptations, adapting teacher training, improving accessibility and involving all the university community. Different proposals were provided which support the social dimension of the EHEA.

The Cuban school as a context for a proper development of the environmental perception

Environmental Psychology in Cuba is a new discipline that promotes a historical and cultural vision of mankind. Perception is one of the distinct processes that creates environmental consciousness. Depending on the perception of the environment, individuals interact with it, and vice versa. It means that a good perception of the significant elements of the environment also contributes to the formation of an environmental consciousness, in which perception is one of the main processes. In this transformation the school is one of the most important places for creating knowledge, skills, habits, and good attitudes towards the environment. As a result, the evaluation of the environmental perception development in students allows detecting weaknesses in the environmental education and proposing solutions based on specific problems. This study is based on different researches where the subjects were Cuban students from different educational levels and provides a first approach to the dynamic of the environmental perception development in these individuals. Recent researches have used some dimensions of the environment concept as development indicators: material, relational, intrapersonal, behavioural, cognitive, natural or ecological, and cultural. Generally speaking, different investigations show that school is the right context for environmental education.

Practicum in Educational Psychology: comparative analysis between areas of knowledge

In this paper we present the process and results of an investigation in which, after reflecting on the concept of Practicum and, specifically, in the Practicum in Educational Psychology degree taught at the University of A Coruña, an assessment is made taking into account the opinion of the students who have studied this matter, as to the relevance that the planned objectives are given and subsequent achievement of these. The results differ considering the area that the teacher who has tutored belongs to. Methodologicaly, it is a descriptive research, survey type, which involved a significant sample of students in their final year of the degree in the year 2012/13 through a questionnaire which validity (Teaching and content) and reliability (internal consistency) have been properly set (judgment of experts and a pilot experience for the calculation of Cronbach's alpha). The results show that the Practicum program has a good development of most of the objectives, especially those related to skills, where the average of the highest rated goals exceed the rating of 4. This suggests clear lines for innovation and improvement in the areas of conceptual and attitudinal level.

Teachers’ perception of visual deficiencies and their impact on students

The sense of vision is people’s main source of information acquisition, hence the importance of a right diagnosis and correction, if necessary, of any faults for proper learning, especially in the early years of schooling. This article discusses the results of a survey of teachers in Andalusian schools that aimed at highlighting their knowledge of their students’ possible visual deficiencies, and its possible impact on school performance. The results indicate that such knowledge is generally limited to the type of refractive anomalies, and that they think that such anomalies are well treated in their students. Despite the importance they attach to these deficiencies on school learning, they think that other factors may have a greater role. They also consider that better training on this topic is necessary.

Co-evaluation as a strategy to improve working group dynamics: an experience in Sport Sciences

The aim of this study was to analyze if the perceptions of students before and after carrying out the work, that is, their perception of different aspects of the functioning of the group, the working skills acquired as well as those they think that need to be improved, varied depending on whether the contribution of the different members of the group was being co-evaluated or not. 144 students of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences participated in this study. In order to analyze the students' perception of group work the adapted questionnaire by Bourne et al. (2001) was used. Results showed that groups which implemented co-evaluation assessed more negatively the experience in general than those which did not. However, co-evaluation groups perceived their competence to work as a team had improved to a greater extent than the groups without co-evaluation, evaluating more positively both the performance and the result of work and increasing their knowledge of the other team members. Using a co-evaluation system seems to generate both a better assessment of the running of the team and the result of its work.

Relaciones interétnicas y adaptación cultural entre Shuar, Achuar, Aguaruna y canelos Quichua

Hace algunos años estuve reuniendo datos genealógicos bajo la g¡ría de Eladio Jiukám, el apu o líder de una comunidad Aguaruna en el Alto Río Mayo del Peru. Empezamos a discutir el concepto de patáa, palabra aguaruna usualmente traducida como "familia". Eladio insistió en que patóa incluye no sólo a todos los residentes de su comunidad, sino virtualmente a todos los Aguarunas del valle (aproximadamente 1100 personas), hasta abarcar aldeas tan lejanas como aquellas que están a cinco días de viaje a pie. A pesar de que no todas las personas en la comunidad de Eladio comparten su amplia perspectiva sobre lo que constituye una "familia", sus comentarios demuestran un hecho importante: Eladio y los demás miembros de esta aislada, y aparentemente autónoma comunidad, piensan en sí mismos como si estuvieran vinculados estrechamente con las demás comunidades de la región.
