A contribuição de Lima Barreto para o entendimento da crítica educacional brasileira do início do século XX

This study aims at enhancing the understanding of the educational criticism in the beginning of the twentieth century, focusing on the ideas of Lima Barreto. Before the emergence of the "educational professionals", educational thought was developed by publicists and writers involved in a fertile debate, the results of which became visible in literary and journalistic production. Through the analysis of articles, short texts published in the press, novels and short stories written by Lima Barreto, it’s possible to gather a specific concept of education, underlying his criticism and fictional characterization of school education, as well as an interesting sketch of the cultural profile of Brazilian society at the time. Either explicitly or implicitly, in their evaluative and theoretical references, the limits of the critical readings of the author, which are expressed in the contradiction between negation of the given conditions and their affirmation, unveil the historical aspects of social and educational thinking and criticism.

Tradición e internacionalidad : Archivos de Ciencias de la Educación (3ra. Época) y el pensamiento educacional en los años sesenta

El artículo analiza los procesos de cambio en el pensamiento educacional durante los años sesenta, a partir de una relectura de la revista Archivos de Ciencias de la Educación en su 3ra época (1961-1967). El trabajo también constituye un primer intento de apropiación del concepto de externalización desarrollado por Jurguen Schriewer (1993 y 2010) para el estudio del conocimiento educacional, siguiendo la sociología de Niklas Luhmann. La relevancia de esta perspectiva teórica radica -a nuestro juicio- en que posibilita reinscribir las derivas del pensamiento pedagógico local en el contexto más amplio de las dinámicas de circulación, difusión y apropiación selectiva del conocimiento educacional a nivel mundial y regional

COMENIUS E O DIREITO À EDUCAÇÃO: A VISÃO PIONEIRA A CAMINHO DA UNIVERSALIDADE

Essa dissertação teve a seguinte hipótese de trabalho: Comenius e seu pensamento compõem uma das bases estruturais do direito à educação, como é entendido atualmente . Para discuti-la, buscou-se promover um diálogo entre o pensamento comeniano e a Declaração Mundial Sobre Educação Para Todos de Jomtien, 1990, UNESCO. Jan Amos Comenius, pedagogo e bispo morávio do século XVII, empenhou-se na criação e disseminação de sua proposta pansófica na sociedade, tendo a educação como papel central na renovação da cultura. Pretendeu-se apresentar Comenius como um pioneiro da educação , haja vista sua defesa por uma educação universal em meio a um contexto social desigual em meados dos anos mil e seiscentos, bem como na atualidade, o reconhecimento de seu pioneirismo pela própria UNESCO, considerando-o o antecessor espiritual daquela Organização. O pedagogo buscava uma sistematização do saber em chave pansófica, representada pela tríade omnes, omnia, omnino - ensinar tudo a todos e totalmente. Assim, objetivou-se especificamente: a) conhecer as fases de sua vida, que abarcam suas obras, bases teológicas e pedagógicas e vivências em seu contexto histórico; b) apresentar seu pensamento educacional e c) compreender especificamente sua proposta pansófica, que se liga ao direito à educação. A opção metodológica na análise histórico-documental, inspiração para a pesquisa, foi a História da Longa Duração, fundamentada em Fernand Braudel, Jacques Le Goff, Marc Bloch e Peter Burke. Autores que serviram como referência sobre Comenius são, entre outros: Olivier Cauly, João Luiz Gasparin, Franco Cambi, Frederick Eby, Jean Piaget, Will Monroe, Sérgio Covello, Latourette e Walker. A conclusão deste trabalho filosófico-jurídico apontou para a constatação de convergências entre o pensamento de Comenius e a citada Declaração de Jomtien, demonstrando sua notável presença na construção do conceito de direito à educação como um de seus pilares fundamentais na contemporaneidade. A pesquisa foi edificada sobre um ideal universal, que transcende épocas e encontra-se com o desejo intrinsecamente humano da igualdade através do conhecimento e pretende servir de subsídio e motivação para novos estudos a respeito do pensamento de Comenius relacionado ao direito à educação.

AS CONTRIBUIÇÕES DOS EDUCADORES BOLCHEVIQUES NA CONCRETIZAÇÃO DE POLÍTICAS EDUCACIONAIS NA EDUCAÇÃO SOVIÉTICA

O presente trabalho, ligado à linha de Políticas e Gestão Educacional, examina o período histórico de 1917 a 1930, em que educadores bolcheviques influenciaram a educação soviética em pleno processo de construção da sociedade revolucionária. Esse importante contexto histórico gerou o interesse pelo tema remetendo este estudo a um período atravessado por discussões educacionais. Assim, procurou-se pesquisar quais foram os educadores que contribuíram para o avanço da educação soviética, o que foi pensado por eles e quais ideias sobre educação foram concretizadas por intermédio de políticas educacionais. Por meio de um estudo da época revolucionária da Rússia, buscou-se apresentar os princípios educacionais de Moisey Mikhaylovic Pistrak (1888-1940), Nadejda Konstantinovna Krupskaya (1869-1939) e Anatóli Lunatcharsky (1875-1933). Tentou-se apurar se as propostas de alguns desses educadores (ou de todos) para a época contribuíram ativamente na implantação da prática pedagógica socialista, fundada no marxismo. Cada um com suas práticas e estudos ajudou a construir o que se conhece na história como uma pedagogia socialista, baseada na ideia do coletivo vinculada ao movimento mais amplo de transformação social. A hipótese sobre a importância prática desses autores foi investigada ao longo do trabalho. A pesquisa intentou contribuir com uma reflexão acerca dos valores possíveis na educação contemporânea, que idealmente deveria valorizar o trabalho do ser humano e as relações de caráter humanitário entre os homens. Contudo, no contexto local não se conseguiu ter acesso, ainda, a uma grande quantidade de estudos relacionados ao tema. Não obstante esse fato, a pesquisa justifica-se como uma análise do período histórico conhecido por sua importância para a evolução da sociedade contemporânea. Parte-se da suposição de que no período pós-revolucionário aconteceu grande efervescência intelectual e cultural, gerando inúmeras propostas diferenciadas nos terrenos da organização escolar, da ação pedagógica, da relação escola-sociedade, da relação escola-unidades de produção, da relação entre educação e cidadania socialista etc. No decorrer da pesquisa, para estudar cada educador, foi preciso buscar em suas obras a presença de quatro temas relevantes no debate soviético daquele período: a nova sociedade soviética (papel dominante do Estado, declínio no papel da igreja e da família, reivindicação do sistema econômico de participação na educação); a organização do ensino por meio da abordagem de problemas (sistema modular); o processo de revolução cultural e a construção do novo homem; e a politecnia. Para fundamentar os temas, foi necessário caracterizar a posição do pensamento e a ação educacional de cada autor. Na abordagem dos temas, buscou-se também outros autores interessados pela educação soviética e pelas correntes doutrinárias no terreno da educação. Considera-se que a pesquisa contribuirá à academia, ao estudo da pedagogia e da política educacional, e à compreensão do pensamento dos educadores bolcheviques.

Education policy and national income distribution: New evidence from recent cross -country data

In the mid 19th century, Horace Mann insisted that a broad provision of public schooling should take precedence over the liberal education of an elite group. In that regard, his generation constructed a state sponsored common schooling enterprise to educate the masses. More than 100 years later, the institution of public schooling fails to maintain an image fully representative of the ideals of equity and inclusion. Critical theory in educational thought associates the dominant practice of functional schooling with maintenance of the status quo, an unequal distribution of financial, political, and social resources. This study examined the empirical basis for the association of public schooling with the status quo using the most recent and comparable cross-country income inequality data. Multiple regression analysis evaluated the possible relationship between national income inequality change over the period 1985-2005 and variables representative of national measures of education supply in the prior decade. The estimated model of income inequality development attempted to quantify the relationship between education supply factors and subsequent income inequality developments by controlling for economic, demographic, and exogenous factors. The sample included all nations with comparable income inequality data over the measurement period, N = 56. Does public school supply affect national income distribution? The estimated model suggested that an increase in the average years of schooling among the population age 15 years or older, measured over the period 1975-1985, provided a mechanism that resulted in a more equal distribution of income over the period 1985-2005 among low and lower-middle income nations. The model also suggested that income inequality increased less or decreased more in smaller economies and when the percentage of the population age < 15 years grew more slowly over the period 1985-2000. In contrast, this study identified no significant relationship between school supply changes measured over prior periods and income inequality development over the period 1985-2005 among upper-middle and high income nations.

Apples, oranges and fruit salad : a Delphi study of the IMC educational mix

Once, we thought that comparing advertising and public relations was a bit like comparing apples and oranges. But with integration the new flavour, many academics are trying to cut and combine and create a fruit salad that will entice their customers and satisfy their stakeholders. While this has produced some culinary triumphs, it has also produced heartburn in equal quantity. This paper seeks the perfect recipe for integrated marketing communication (IMC) education by asking a Delphi panel of IMC champions questions relating to the place of IMC in the university setting; the teaching, research and curriculum development issues and the future for IMC education. The panel draws a chaotic picture of IMC education and identifies some important obstacles to curriculum development. It also predicts a number of key challenges for the future, including turf wars; the lack of faculty experience and enthusiasm to embrace IMC and the desperate need to grow the IMC brand. But perhaps the greatest challenge is how to create a generalist education in a culture of pecialisation that exists both in the university and in the workplace.

Social network markets and 'public thought'

This paper approaches its topic in a somewhat crabwise manner, but hopefully by that means it may succeed in reaching its objective without being eaten alive. It comprises a critique of a recent internet post called ‘The Shock of Inclusion’ by Clay Shirky (his contribution to The Edge World Question of 2010), in which he claims (among other things) that ‘the average quality of public thought has collapsed.’

Co-thought gestures : supporting students to successfully navigate map tasks

This study considers the role and nature of co-thought gestures when students process map-based mathematics tasks. These gestures are typically spontaneously produced silent gestures which do not accompany speech and are represented by small movements of the hands or arms often directed toward an artefact. The study analysed 43 students (aged 10–12 years) over a 3-year period as they solved map tasks that required spatial reasoning. The map tasks were representative of those typically found in mathematics classrooms for this age group and required route finding and coordinate knowledge. The results indicated that co-thought gestures were used to navigate the problem space and monitor movements within the spatial challenges of the respective map tasks. Gesturing was most influential when students encountered unfamiliar tasks or when they found the tasks spatially demanding. From a teaching and learning perspective, explicit co-thought gesturing highlights cognitive challenges students are experiencing since students tended to not use gesturing in tasks where the spatial demands were low.

Educational interventions for preventing vascular catheter bloodstream infections in critical care: Evidence map, systematic review and economic evaluation

Background Bloodstream infections resulting from intravascular catheters (catheter-BSI) in critical care increase patients' length of stay, morbidity and mortality, and the management of these infections and their complications has been estimated to cost the NHS annually £19.1–36.2M. Catheter-BSI are thought to be largely preventable using educational interventions, but guidance as to which types of intervention might be most clinically effective is lacking. Objective To assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of educational interventions for preventing catheter-BSI in critical care units in England. Data sources Sixteen electronic bibliographic databases – including MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), NHS Economic Evaluation Database (NHS EED), EMBASE and The Cochrane Library databases – were searched from database inception to February 2011, with searches updated in March 2012. Bibliographies of systematic reviews and related papers were screened and experts contacted to identify any additional references. Review methods References were screened independently by two reviewers using a priori selection criteria. A descriptive map was created to summarise the characteristics of relevant studies. Further selection criteria developed in consultation with the project Advisory Group were used to prioritise a subset of studies relevant to NHS practice and policy for systematic review. A decision-analytic economic model was developed to investigate the cost-effectiveness of educational interventions for preventing catheter-BSI. Results Seventy-four studies were included in the descriptive map, of which 24 were prioritised for systematic review. Studies have predominantly been conducted in the USA, using single-cohort before-and-after study designs. Diverse types of educational intervention appear effective at reducing the incidence density of catheter-BSI (risk ratios statistically significantly < 1.0), but single lectures were not effective. The economic model showed that implementing an educational intervention in critical care units in England would be cost-effective and potentially cost-saving, with incremental cost-effectiveness ratios under worst-case sensitivity analyses of < £5000/quality-adjusted life-year. Limitations Low-quality primary studies cannot definitively prove that the planned interventions were responsible for observed changes in catheter-BSI incidence. Poor reporting gave unclear estimates of risk of bias. Some model parameters were sourced from other locations owing to a lack of UK data. Conclusions Our results suggest that it would be cost-effective and may be cost-saving for the NHS to implement educational interventions in critical care units. However, more robust primary studies are needed to exclude the possible influence of secular trends on observed reductions in catheter-BSI.
