Students' assessment of immersive virtual reality as a pedagogic medium

Over the past few years a number of research studies, mainly involving desktop-based or head-mounted Virtual Reality (VR) systems, have been undertaken to determine what VR can contribute to the education process. In our study we have used the findings from a number of these studies to help in formulating a new study into the perceived merits and limitations of using VR in general, and immersive CAVE-like systems in particular, as an education tool. We conducted our study with a group of final year undergraduate students who were registered on a module that described VR in terms of the scientific issues, application areas, and strengths and weaknesses of the technology.

Development of speech fluency over a short period of time: effects of pedagogic intervention

This study investigates the effects of a short-term pedagogic intervention on the development of L2 fluency among learners studying English for Academic purposes (EAP) at a university in the UK. It also examines the interaction between the development of fluency, and complexity and accuracy. Through a pre-test, post-test design, data were collected over a period of four weeks from learners performing monologic tasks. While the Control Group (CG) focused on developing general speaking and listening skills, the Experimental Group (EG) received awareness-raising activities and fluency strategy training in addition to general speaking and listening practice i.e following the syllabus. The data, coded in terms of a range of measures of fluency, accuracy and complexity, were subjected to repeated measures MANOVA, t-tests and correlations. The results indicate that after the intervention, while some fluency gains were achieved by the CG, the EG produced statistically more fluent language demonstrating a faster speech and articulation rate, longer runs and higher phonation time ratios. The significant correlations obtained between measures of accuracy and learners’ pauses in the CG suggest that pausing opportunities may have been linked to accuracy. The findings of the study have significant implications for L2 pedagogy, highlighting the effective impact of instruction on the development of fluency.

A formação do professor alfabetizador em cursos de Pedagogia: contribuições e lacunas teórico-práticas

To the we assume the disciplines of the area of Literacy of the course of Pedagogy, our intention has been the one of working the literacy, the reading and the writing as alive processes, as social practices inserted in the history, continuators of the subjectivity, done in the culture and producing of culture. The importance of the course of Pedagogy in the teachers' formation is unquestionable; however our goal is to highlight, in this work, the paper of that course in the formation of the teacher alphabetized, while mediator of the literacy process with an inclusive vision. In that to walk, it appeared us the following subject: which the contributions and the gaps theoretical-practices - of degree courses in Pedagogy - experienced for the exits of that course, in the specific pedagogic work of alphabetizing children, young adult and/or our study aims at to investigate, under the perspective of teachers alphabetizer licensed in courses of Pedagogy, the contributions and the theoretical-practical gaps of those courses, in the formation of the educator alphabetizer. In this sense, our work if it bases on the presuppositions of the qualitative investigation that leaves of the foundation that there is a dynamic relationship among the real and subjective world, an alive interdependence between subject and object, an entail indissoluble between the objective world and the subjective (CHIZZOTTI, 1998, p.79). The research is characterized as a descriptive and interpretative study and for the collection of data; the questionnaire, the semi-structured interview and the documental analysis were used. We took the following providences for the choice of Locus and of the subject of the research: it visits to the schools; compatibility of the criteria previously defined for choice of Locus and of the Subjects. For the choice of those schools, we defined the following criteria: that, in your individuality / totality, they were located in integral neighborhoods of, at least three of the four administrative areas of the city of Natal; that, in your individuality / totality, they contemplated the public spheres and private of attendance; that, in the year of accomplishment of the research - 2004 - they were offering infantile education and/or fundamental teaching; this last one gone back to the children of the initial years and/or for the youth and adult of the first levels of the modality of EJA; and that made possible the researcher's access. Front to the particularities of our study object and considering the criteria of choice of the locus, four public schools and three private schools were selected. Like this being, in those schools, we would look for the subject of our work that they would owe: 1) to be working, in 2004, with children's literacy, youths or adults: they as teacher (the), it as coordinator (the) that guides teachers alphabetizer, in public schools or peculiar of the city of the Natal-RN; 2) to be exit (the) of the degree course in Pedagogy, supplied by institutions of superior level (public or matters) of the city of the Natal-RN; 3) to have concluded your course of Pedagogy in the period of 1990-2004; 4) to have, at least, 01(one) year of experience in literacy rooms (TARDIF, 2002). The subjects interviewees concluded your courses of Pedagogy, in the period from 1990 to 2004, in institutions different from the city of Natal/RN, being five to the whole: two public IES and three deprived IES. Of the analysis of the data, the theme emerged, ' teacher's Alphabetizer Educational Formation in Courses of Pedagogy', with the following categories: contributions of the courses of Pedagogy; More important disciplines in the educational formation; Areas / Aspects lacunars of the courses of Pedagogy. The pedagogic practice of the teacher alphabetizer demands a formation from him found in you know educational, requested in the children's literacy, youths and adults. In that work, we defended the thesis that the course of Pedagogy is the locus, par excellence, for that formation, in spite of possible structural limitations and curricular of the referred course. In spite of the countless contributions of the pedagogy course for the formation of the teacher alphabetizer, our data appear for the need of a revision of the proposals curricular of that course, getting the attention for the importance of a proposal formation curricular more gone back to the literacy process / literate and for the social inclusion. We thought that, although insufficient, the teacher's formation in that perspective is a fundamental condition for a practice pedagogic alphabetizer to be promoted, in fact, inclusive and promoter of the school success

Ensinar/Aprender ortografia: uma experiência na formação de professores

The studies in the education area have been defending the importance of forming autonomous teachers that they look for to understand the context in that they act, for that movement to make possible educational interventions with better conditions of the students' learning. In the extent of the teachers' formation, it has been discussed the importance of formative actions that they have as focus the analysis of the needs in the educational formation, as alternative to turn such more significant actions. Concerned with those subjects and with the school failure in the Brazilian education, especially in the children's of the public school literacy, we accomplished this work that aims at to investigate the needs of teachers' of the Fundamental Teaching of the public school formation, in the extent of their students' orthographic difficulties, building with those teachers knowledge on the process of teaching/learning spelling. The study was accomplished at a municipal school of the city of Parnamirim-RN, that offers the Fundamental Teaching I. the approach investigativa is of qualitative nature, where the case study and the research-action were used as methodologies. They participated in the research 7 teachers and 1 coordinator of the institution. For the construction of the data the following instruments were used: glimpsed semi-directing collective and individual, documental analysis, questionnaire and observation, that made possible the triangulation of the data for the content analysis. The main results pointed that the teachers' of that school initial needs were addressed not only to the teaching of the spelling, but also to the formation type that they would receive. We verified although the formative process was favorecedor of sockets of the teachers' conscience: related to the orthographic mistakes, to the strategies used at classroom and to the planning addressed to the teaching of the spelling. Finally, we concluded that the teachers' reflection researched about their own formation needs contributed for (trans)formations of their conceptions and practices related to the teaching of the spelling, even before some found difficulties, so much in the formation as in practice pedagogic developed by the participants

Proposta Curricular para Educação infantil: (re) significando saberes docentes

The theory contemporary in the field of early children education, as well the legal discourse and official texts valid in our country point to the need for systematization of proposals pedagogic / curriculum in institutions, built and carried out by subjects that act as factor of assurance care quality. Quest us about what knowledge are required to teachers in developing a proposed curriculum for children education. Defined as an object of study, the knowledge teachers necessary for the development of a proposed curriculum for children education. As goals, assume: investigate teachers knowledge necessary for the development of a proposed curriculum in a Public Institution for children education and contribute to the (new) meaning on the part of teachers, knowledge needed to build a proposed curriculum for children education. Assuming the principles of the paradigm of qualitative research, we have developed a research institution of a children education Network Public Hall of Ceará-Mirim-RN, which serves children of four and five years old (preschool) with the participation of 17 teachers and two supervisory (teachers) that institution - subject of our research. Therefore, we have adopted the principles of action research, according to which the knowledge gained through research should build so shared / dialogue in the relationship between researcher and participants, what is the implementation of an effective action formative. As the search procedures developed observations no-teaching participants in the meetings and activities of the classroom; semi-structured interviews (individual and collective) with teachers and supervisors; analysis of school documents and participant observation in the seminars of studies reflective. The latter is implemented as key moments of speech and thought, and finally to (new) meaning of knowledge, the subject of the research-action. For these knowledge, the systematization of the register built was developed based on the principles of analysis of Content that guided us to the definition of two categories 1) knowledge teachers concerning conceptions of curriculum / proposed curriculum and 2) knowledge teachers concerning specifics of children education. From these were built subs representing thematings more specific and significant, among the many that emerged in the analysis: 1.1) Definitions of curriculum and curriculum proposal; 1.2) The subjects makers / implementing a curriculum / proposed curriculum; 1.3) elements constituting a curriculum / proposed curriculum for children education and 2.1) Functions of children education and conception of child; 2.2) The space of the play in the organization of routine. Under the intervention could significant advances with regard to (new) meaning of such knowledge from the subjects, with major disruptions to their original designs. These are presented and reflected in this work. In front of this movement, transformation, made the need for a permanent work in the context of the institution of in-service training, or mediated by pedagogical coordinator or other to assume this role with teachers, in order to provide the development and effectiveness of proposed curriculum consistent and contextualized in practice effective with the children concrete envisage the service to their specificities and a quality education

O currículo em uma classe hospitalar: estudo de caso no albergue pavilhão São José da Santa Casa de Misericórdia do Pará

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar a dinâmica curricular implementada pelo Núcleo de Educação Popular Paulo Freire (NEP), da Universidade do Estado do Pará (UEPA), no contexto hospitalar, especificamente no Pavilhão São José; através da relação com o outro, a relação com o saber no cotidiano da relação pedagógica, as interpretações dadas ao currículo pelas docentes, as alterações de sentidos, do conhecimento e do saber, que contribuem, de forma concreta, para a inclusão e para a ação pedagógica em ambientes hospitalares. Os eixos teóricos que fundamentam esta investigação se voltam para os aspectos do conhecimento e construção do currículo e suas interfaces, mais diretamente a prática do currículo no cotidiano. Através da realidade curricular do Pavilhão São José, podemos conhecer o currículo adotado e interpretado pelas docentes nessa classe hospitalar e como essa proposta vem se materializando enquanto dinâmica curricular. Trabalhamos com a abordagem qualitativa aplicando no estudo de caso realizado no Pavilhão São José da Fundação Santa Casa de Misericórdia do Pará, no período de 2004 até junho de 2005. A coleta de dados foi feita através da entrevista com as duas professoras e a Coordenadora do Projeto de Ensino do NEP, análise documental, tendo sido privilegiados os questionários sócio-antropológicos realizados pelo NEP com os alunos-pacientes ou mães, fichas de atividades das docentes e o Projeto de Ensino do NEP. Os principais resultados apontam para a necessidade de valorização dessa ação educativa frente aos profissionais de saúde e pais, para que os alunos-pacientes a compreendam como caminho para sua escolarização; para os cursos de Formação de Professores reverem o tempo da ação educativa pelo "princípio da simultaneidade de eventos", pela partilha coletiva docente, pela orientação de currículos interdisciplinares e ampliação da cultura popular; para a forma grupal de problematizar os conteúdos articulados em classe, aumentar os relativos à escolarização, visto que essa proposta tem a pretensão de ofertar aos alunos-pacientes o acesso à escola; de buscar estratégias de interação entre os profissionais de saúde e educação; e investigar essa dinâmica curricular de forma mais sistemática e constante para desenvolver o processo educativo em ambiente hospitalar.

Escolas-família agrícola e agroextrativista do estado do Amapá: práticas e significados

Tem como objetivo central a análise das Escolas-Família Agrícolas (EFA) em sua trajetória histórica e política enquanto iniciativa do movimento social rural local, e sua organização por meio de uma rede para a verificação de suas possíveis contribuições para o processo de desenvolvimento do meio rural do estado do Amapá, com vistas à sustentabilidade regional, através do estudo de caso realizado em quatro EFA: Escola Família Agrícola do Pacui, Escola Família Agrícola da Perimetral Norte, Escola Família Agroextrativista do Carvão e Escola Família Agroextrativista do Maracá, localizadas no estado do Amapá, nos municípios de Macapá, Pedra Branca do Amapari e Mazagão, respectivamente. O eixo teórico da dissertação são as categorias movimentos sociais e pedagogia da alternância, desenvolvimento sustentável e educação para a sustentabilidade, e suas revisões a fim de incorporarem o discurso da educação para a sustentabilidade, e sua articulação para o alcance do desenvolvimento rural sustentável proposto pelas EFA. Analisamos o caráter do papel do Estado e sua perspectiva de desenvolvimento pensado para a Região Amazônica, o agroextrativismo familiar rural na política de desenvolvimento do Amapá e sua evolução histórica e suas dificuldades para atingir o nível de desenvolvimento pensado. As RESEX como tentativa de concretização desta política são analisadas a partir de conceituações teóricas frente às necessidades de incorporação dos problemas socioeconômicos e ambientais. Estudamos a apropriação dessas categorias teóricas pelos atores sociais integrantes da proposta, destacando as viabilidades ou não do alcance dos objetivos propostos pelas EFA entre os pressupostos teóricos sobre desenvolvimento sustentável e as práticas que vêm sendo implementadas pelas EFA. Tratamos ainda da formulação de um quadro teórico, encaixando as considerações teóricas produzidas sobre a temática e o conhecimento empírico resgatado das falas e observações realizadas, com o objetivo de indicar as possibilidades de implementação prática da educação para a sustentabilidade a partir da análise das concepções apresentadas pelos atores sociais envolvidos, elaborando assim uma caracterização da educação desenvolvida por estas escolas e os entraves de sua relação institucional com o poder público, enquanto mecanismo de articulação política a partir de inserção deste movimento social rural. A pesquisa que dá suporte a essa dissertação foi desenvolvida entre agosto de 2003 e junho de 2004, compreendendo levantamento e sistematização de informações bibliográficas e documentais e ainda a realização de entrevistas a monitores, alunos, coordenadores, pais de alunos, lideranças e assessoria pedagógica das EFA.
