Relatório de ensino supervisionada, realizada no agrupamento vertical n.º 3 de Évora - Santa Clara e Escola Secundária Severim de Faria em ensino de educação física nos ensinos básico e secundário

O presente relatório tem como objectivo efectuar uma retrospectiva e um balanço sobre todo o trabalho desenvolvido ao longo do ano lectivo na Prática de Ensino Supervisionada (PES). A prestação do aluno de PES foi ao longo deste relatório analisada minuciosamente, sendo na sua análise implícita uma reflexão crítica de carácter importante. A PES desenvolveu-se na EB 2;3 de Santa Clara, EB1 de São Mamede e na Escola Secundária de Severim Faria. Concluiu-se que o planeamento é essencial para que exista uma organização e controlo sobre o processo ensino­ aprendizagem; que a avaliação formativa é essencial para o sucesso dos alunos; o planeamento por etapas assume-se como o mais adequado para o processo ensino­aprendizagem. Por último considera-se que leccionar uma aula é muito mais que colocar os alunos a realizar uma modalidade desportiva, sendo necessário, pensar, planear, organizar, demonstrar, acompanhar, facultar informação e adaptar-se aos alunos e ao meio escolar. ABSTRACT; The present report aims to make a retrospective overview of the work throughout the school year in Supervised Practice Teaching (SPT). The present report aims to make a retrospective overview of the work throughout the school year in Supervised Practice Teaching (SPT). The work of the student of SPT is carefully examined through this report; a critical reflexion is implicit in all chapters. The SPT was developed in three schools: EB 2, 3, Santa Clara, EB1 São Mamede and Secondary School Severim Faria. lt was concluded that planning is essential for achieving a high level of organization and control on the teaching-learning process; that the formative evaluation is fundamental for the student’s success; and that a planning model based on stages seem to be the most appropriate for the learning process. Also, it was understood that teaching a lesson is much more than getting the students practicing a sport; it requires skills like planning, organizing, demonstrating, instructing and adapting to the students and school’s characteristics.

Moçambique: educação e VIH/SIDA: as perspectivas dos professores e directores face ao VIH/SIDA na realidade ecolar

Esta dissertação centra-se na análise da perspectiva dos directores/ professores de Educação Cívica e Moral da 6ª e 7ª das Escolas Primárias e Completas (EPCs) na realidade do VIHISIDA nessas mesmas escolas, considerando as representações que estes actores têm face a esta patologia. Este estudo visa apreender a construção da resposta ao fenómeno no quotidiano escolar. Pretende, igualmente, avaliar as representações dos actores face às intervenções e hipóteses de melhoria da resposta dada. E, ainda, chamar a atenção da sociedade, do ministério e da escola, para a necessidade de se ouvir as diversidades que caracterizam as escolas na resposta ao VIH/SIDA. O trabalho de campo foi realizado nas EPCs do Distrito de Quelimane e Nicoadala, com base em entrevistas semi-estruturadas realizadas aos Directores e aos professores da província da Zambézia. Foi igualmente feita recolha documental e bibliográfica, tendo-se recorrido ao apoio de teorias pertinentes ao estudo. Face à investigação realizada, podemos concluir que, apesar do envolvimento dos actores locais no processo de prevenção do VIH/SIDA, existem carências e lacunas a nível da respectiva formação pedagógica e epidemiológica, a nível das condições de trabalho e no que diz respeito às fracas articulações entre o Ministério da Educação e o Ministério da Saúde. ABSTRACT: This dissertation focuses on the perspectives of the principals/teachers of civic and moral education of the 6th and 7th classes o EPC’s on the reality on HIV/AIDS in schools, considering the representation that they have on this pathology. This study aims to understand the construction of responses to the phenomenon in the everyday life. It also aims to take a closer look at the representations of the actors on the interventions and the possibilities of improving the daily responses of the EPC's. Another aspect that was considered was of the society, the ministry and schools on the relevance of listening and nuances of schools in response to HIVIAIDS. Based on the fieldwork in the districts of Quelimane and Nicoadala, semi-structured interviews with school principals/ teachers were carried out as well as the collection of documents, bibliographies and the support of pertinent theories. According to this research we can conclude that besides the local actors' involvements in the prevention process of HIVIAIDS, there are lacks and needs on teaching training and on epidemics, on working conditions and a weak dialogue between Education and Health Ministries.

Do school based food and nutrition policies improve diet and reduce obesity?

OBJECTIVE: To review the effectiveness of school food and nutrition policies world wide in improving the school food environment, student's dietary intake, and decreasing overweight and obesity. METHODS: Systematic review of published and unpublished literature up to November 2007 of three categories of nutrition policy; nutrition guidelines, regulation of food and/or beverage availability, and price interventions applied in preschools, primary and secondary schools. RESULTS: 18 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most evidence of effectiveness was found for the impact of both nutrition guidelines and price interventions on intake and availability of food and drinks, with less conclusive research on product regulation. Despite the introduction of school food policies worldwide few large scale or national policies have been evaluated, and all included studies were from the USA and Europe. CONCLUSION: Some current school policies have been effective in improving the food environment and dietary intake in schools, but there is little evaluation of their impact on BMI. As schools have been proposed worldwide as a major setting for tackling childhood obesity it is essential that future policy evaluations measure the long term effectiveness of a range of school food policies in tackling both dietary intake and overweight and obesity.

Prerequisite Programs at Schools: Diagnosis and Economic Evaluation

In this study, 20 Brazilian public schools have been assessed regarding good manufacturing practices and standard sanitation operating procedures implementation. We used a checklist comprised of 10 parts ( facilities and installations, water supply, equipments and tools, pest control, waste management, personal hygiene, sanitation, storage, documentation, and training), making a total of 69 questions. The implementing modification cost to the found nonconformities was also determined so that it could work with technical data as a based decision-making prioritization. The average nonconformity percentage at schools concerning to prerequisite program was 36%, from which 66% of them own inadequate installations, 65% waste management, 44% regarding documentation, and 35% water supply and sanitation. The initial estimated cost for changing has been U.S.$24,438 and monthly investments of 1.55% on the currently needed invested values. This would result in U.S.$0.015 increase on each served meal cost over the investment replacement within a year. Thus, we have concluded that such modifications are economically feasible and will be considered on technical requirements when prerequisite program implementation priorities are established.

Teaching in rural and remote schools: a literature review

In this paper. the authors examine a wide range of recent research into the preparation and support for teachers working in rural and remote schools. The paper reviews many preservice and inservice initiatives which highlight issues affecting:teaching and learning in schools outside the major metropolitan centres. The work is reviewed from an Australian perspective but evaluates research from throughout the world. The paper concludes that despite a large body of research (Gibson, 1994), that has identified the need for specialised pre-service preparation which accommodates the social and professional differences associated with work in rural and remote areas, the implementation of such programs by teacher training institutions has been sparse, lacking in cohesion and in many cases non-existent.

Responding to globalisation: Refugees and the challenges facing Australian schools

This paper explores issues relating to the education of refugee children in Australia within a framework of globalisation. We begin by outlining what we understand to be key dimensions of globalisation. We then move to a consideration of education for refugee children, and the rights to education set out in major international conventions. We argue that there are a number of key challenges to be addressed in policies for the provision of education for refugee children under the current conditions of globalisation in Australia.
