Estudo de uma proposta de ensino de física para o primeiro ano do ensino médio inspirada na teoria do pensamento complexo de Morin

O mundo está passando por uma mudança paradigmática. O paradigma moderno baseado nas ideias de René Descartes e Isaac Newton está sendo substituído por um novo paradigma chamado de pós-moderno ou complexo. Essa mudança tem gerado uma crise em toda a sociedade, e essa crise pode ser muito bem percebida na escola. Enquanto o mundo passa a valorizar a criatividade, a autonomia e habilidades como o trabalho em equipe e a capacidade de resolução de problemas complexos, a escola procura se fechar em torno de si mesma, exigindo a memorização e reprodução de conteúdos prontos, visando a solução de problemas artificiais que em nada se relaciona com o cotidiano e os interesses dessa nova sociedade. Nessa perspectiva, esse trabalho propõe uma metodologia para o ensino do conteúdo de Física do primeiro ano do Ensino Médio inspirada na teoria do pensamento complexo de Edgar Morin. Para isso, desenvolvemos uma sequência didática com atividades que visam não só abordar os conteúdos previstos pelo Currículo Oficial do Estado de São Paulo de maneira contextualizada e motivadora, mas abordá-los com o objetivo de procurar iniciar o desenvolvimento do pensamento complexo dos alunos. Assim, para alcançar esse objetivo, na elaboração de cada atividade, levamos em consideração \"Os Sete Saberes Necessários à Educação do Futuro\" de Morin assim como as competências e habilidades que estão previstas nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN). Sabemos que o pensamento complexo não se desenvolve do dia para noite, pois é um processo que se estende por toda a vida. Entretanto esperamos que com esse trabalho, possamos dar uma contribuição nesse sentido, e vislumbrar durante o ano letivo o princípio do desenvolvimento desse modo de pensar nos alunos.

Una eina per a l’escriptura extensiva i l’argumentació: el diari de lectura

L’article versa sobre les possibilitats de treball de l’escriptura a Batxillerat a partir d’una seqüència didàctica per a l’elaboració d’un diari de lectura, que és un document produït pels alumnes a partir del que els suggereix la lectura d’una obra literària. Tot revisant les bases pedagògiques de la didàctica actual del català quant al procés d’escriptura i el valor de l’argumentació i de la reflexió en l’àmbit educatiu, es pretén que el llibre es convertisca en un estímul per a la creativitat i possibilite l’escriptura extensiva. Així doncs, l’obra literària deixa de ser un element de lectura superficial i pren un caràcter dialògic. El lector esdevé alhora escriptor i, com a tal, s’enfronta a les dificultats i moments de gaudi que aquest fet implica.

Família e escola: memórias de letramento

The school has the social function of educating the individual, building knowledge, attitudes and values that make supportive, critical, ethical and participatory. It is understood, however, in this study, these functions will only be, in fact, met at school if the family engagement at school. As a result, the objective of this research is to rescue the stories of families literacies yesterday and today and their expectations forward to school literacy of children. Theoretically, this research is based on studies of literacy (STREET, 1984; KLEIMAN, 1995; TFOUNI, 1995; 2010; OLIVEIRA, 2008) and in research on family literacy (HEATH, 1982; 1983; DANTAS; MANYAK, 2010). Methodologically, it is a qualitative research which fall within the field of Applied Linguistics (MOITA LOPES, 2006), characterized as an approach of the kind interpretative (MAYRING, 2000; CRESWEL, 2010). It takes as research area Municipal School Councilman Jose Sotero - Igapó / Natal-RN, using data generation tools such as: interview, questionnaire, teaching sequence and conversation wheel, aiming to seek answers to the following questions: How important to recover the reading and writing practices of the parents? What are the relationships between the history of the parents and the reading practices prevalent in the family? Which way to articulate these two systems: family and school, giving new meaning to the literacy practices experienced in the family context and the implications of literacy in school literacy of children? From the analysis of the data generated is expected to understand the family-school binomial and its interference in the literacy process of the students.

O ensino da estatística nos anos finais do ensino fundamental

Result of a professional master course of research work in Teaching Science and Technology of the Federal Technological University of Paraná (UTFPR), this work aims to provide the mathematics teacher of the final years of elementary school a teaching sequence (SE) which includes basic content of Statistics provided in the curriculum. In this book a text about the importance of the teaching of statistics is presented, as well as issues related to literacy skills, reasoning and statistical thinking. The development of the SE was designed considering the presuppositions of contextualization, being structured in six steps. We chose to develop a work with the basic contents of Statistics through real data collected with the participation of students, within a context for them significant. This option was due to be possible to develop with the students situations such as: raising hypotheses , communication situations experienced by different graphs and tables , results of discussion and understanding of the significance of the results obtained by means of statistical calculations. Thus, it is believed to be possible to contribute to the development of statistical skills by the students.

Educação financeira no ensino médio: uma abordagem por meio da análise de produtos financeiros com ênfase em consórcios

This paper presents a differential approach of financial mathematics developed in high school, focusing on financial education. We seek through the insertion of texts, analysis of some financial products and by the interpretation of problems to contribute to the financial training of students. Aiming to make financial mathematics more attractive and accessible to the day-today, there are available for studies some practical tools like the citizen calculator which are available for computers and mobile phones. As well as spreadsheets and software Geogebra, that allow you to compare and analyze the financial costs of consortia, financing and financial applications,in addition to being allied in the preparation and control of personal and family budget. By applying the teaching sequence proposed in a nocturnal class of high school, we realized some difficulties that have limited the financial learning of math concepts.Yet identified progress regarding the financial education of students. These observations were made through qualitative and quantitative analysis from notes in the field diary and also answers given by students in specific form.

Determinaram-se as habilidades a ensinar em cada nível de prática e não se verificou a existência de progressões únicas, variando a sequência de ensino das técnicas entre os treinadores. O ensino das técnicas é realizado após um período de preparação geral e ao longo de toda a época, tendo sempre em consideração o calendário competitivo.

A teaching-learning sequence of colour informed by history and philosophy of science

In this work, we present a teaching-learning sequence on colour intended to a pre-service elementary teacher programme informed by History and Philosophy of Science. Working in a socio-constructivist framework, we made an excursion on the history of colour. Our excursion through history of colour, as well as the reported misconception on colour helps us to inform the constructions of the teaching-learning sequence. We apply a questionnaire both before and after each of the two cycles of action-research in order to assess students’ knowledge evolution on colour and to evaluate our teaching-learning sequence. Finally, we present a discussion on the persistence of deep-rooted alternative conceptions.

A didactic sequence of elementary geometric optics Informed by history and philosophy of science

The concepts and instruments required for the teaching and learning of geometric optics are introduced in the didactic processwithout a proper didactic transposition. This claim is secured by the ample evidence of both wide- and deep-rooted alternative concepts on the topic. Didactic transposition is a theory that comes from a reflection on the teaching and learning process in mathematics but has been used in other disciplinary fields. It will be used in this work in order to clear up the main obstacles in the teachinglearning process of geometric optics. We proceed to argue that since Newton’s approach to optics, in his Book I of Opticks, is independent of the corpuscular or undulatory nature of light, it is the most suitable for a constructivist learning environment. However, Newton’s theory must be subject to a proper didactic transposition to help overcome the referred alternative concepts. Then is described our didactic transposition in order to create knowledge to be taught using a dialogical process between students’ previous knowledge, history of optics and the desired outcomes on geometrical optics in an elementary pre-service teacher training course. Finally, we use the scheme-facet structure of knowledge both to analyse and discuss our results as well as to illuminate shortcomings that must be addressed in our next stage of the inquiry.

Traces, Patterns, Texture: In Search of Aesthetic Teaching/Learning Encounters

This inquiry reveals the crucial guidance of teachers toward surveying the capacity and needs of students, the formation of ideas, acting upon ideas, fostering connections, seeing potential, making judgments, and arranging conditions. Each aesthetic trace causes me to wonder how teachers learn to create experiences that foster student participation in the world aesthetically. The following considerations surface: • Given the emphasis in schools on outcomes and results, how do we encourage teachers to focus on acts of mind instead of end products in their work with students? • Given the orientations toward technical rationality, to fixed sequence, how do we help teachers experience fluid, purposeful learning adventures with students in which the imagi¬nation is given room to play? • Given the tendency to conceive of planning in teaching as the deciding of everything in advance, how do we help teachers and students become attuned to making good judgments derived from within learning experiences? • How do we help teachers build dialogical multivoiced conversations instead of monolithic curriculum? • What do we do to recover the pleasure dwelling in subject matter? How do we get teachers and students to engage thoughtfully in meaningful learning as opposed to covering curriculum7 • A capacity to attend sensitively, to perceive the complexity of relationships coming together in any teaching/learning experience seems critical. How do we help teachers and students attend to the unity of a learning experience and the play of meanings that arises from such undergoing and doing? The traces, patterns, and texture evidenced locate tremendous hope and wondrous possibilities alive within aesthetic teaching/learning encounters. It is such aliveness I encountered in the grade 4 art classroom that opened this account and continues to compel my attention. Possibilities for teaching, learning, and teacher education emerge. I am convinced they are most worthy of continued pursuit.

Traditional education vs modern education. What is the impact of teaching techniques' evolution on students learning process?

The main objective of this article is to focus on the analysis of teaching techniques, ranging from the use of the blackboard and chalk in old traditional classes, using slides and overhead projectors in the eighties and use of presentation software in the nineties, to the video, electronic board and network resources nowadays. Furthermore, all the aforementioned, is viewed under the different mentalities in which the teacher conditions the student using the new teaching technique, improving soft skills but maybe leading either to encouragement or disinterest, and including the lack of educational knowledge consolidation at scientific, technology and specific levels. In the same way, we study the process of adaptation required for teachers, the differences in the processes of information transfer and education towards the student, and even the existence of teachers who are not any longer appealed by their work due which has become much simpler due to new technologies and the greater ease in the development of classes due to the criteria described on the new Grade Programs adopted by the European Higher Education Area. Moreover, it is also intended to understand the evolution of students’ profiles, from the eighties to present time, in order to understand certain attitudes, behaviours, accomplishments and acknowledgements acquired over the semesters within the degree Programs. As an Educational Innovation Group, another key question also arises. What will be the learning techniques in the future?. How these evolving matters will affect both positively and negatively on the mentality, attitude, behaviour, learning, achievement of goals and satisfaction levels of all elements involved in universities’ education? Clearly, this evolution from chalk to the electronic board, the three-dimensional view of our works and their sequence, greatly facilitates the understanding and adaptation later on to the business world, but does not answer to the unknowns regarding the knowledge and the full development of achievement’s indicators in basic skills of a degree. This is the underlying question which steers the roots of the presented research.

Identification of bla(CMY-7) and associated plasmid-mediated resistance genes in multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from dogs at a veterinary teaching hospital in Australia

Objectives: To determine clonality and identify plasmid-mediated resistance genes in 11 multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli (MDREC) isolates associated with opportunistic infections in hospitalized dogs in Australia. Methods: Phenotypic (MIC determinations, modified double-disc diffusion and isoelectric focusing) and genotypic methods (PFGE, plasmid analysis, PCR, sequencing, Southern hybridization, bacterial conjugation and transformation) were used to characterize, investigate the genetic relatedness of, and identify selected plasmid-mediated antimicrobial resistance genes, in the canine MDREC. Results: Canine MDRECs were divided into two clonal groups (CG 1 and 2) with distinct restriction endonuclease digestion and plasmid profiles. All isolates possessed bla(CMY-7) on an similar to 93 kb plasmid. In CG 1 isolates, bla(TEM), catA1 and class 1 integron-associated dfrA17-aadA5 genes were located on an similar to 170 kb plasmid. In CG 2 isolates, a second similar to 93 kb plasmid contained bla(TEM) and unidentified class 1 integron genes, although a single CG 2 strain carried dfrA5. Antimicrobial susceptibility profiling of E. coli K12 transformed with CG 2 large plasmids confirmed that the bla(CMY-7)-carrying plasmid did not carry any other antimicrobial resistance genes, whereas the bla(TEM)/class 1 integron-carrying plasmid carried genes conferring resistance to tetracycline and streptomycin also. Conclusions: This is the first report on the detection of plasmid-mediated bla(CMY-7) in animal isolates in Australia. MDREC isolated from extraintestinal infections in dogs may be an important reservoir of plasmid-mediated resistance genes.
