Análise dos procedimentos metodológicos de dimensionamento e execução de parede diafragma

The present paper conducts an analysis of all steps for the construction of diaphragm walls, from obtaining the soil parameters until its execution. Construction stages of diaphragm wall are detailed. The paper presents a detailed analysis of the main available calculation methods to obtain the soil parameters and the design of the diaphragm wall. A case history extensively documented in previous research and present in international symposiums was chosen for an analysis of construction process and excavation’s instrumentations, as well as emphasizing the importance of temporary works and construction sequence for deep excavation with cast in-situ diaphragm walls. In general, it is possible to conclude the main difficulty and uncertainty of the dimensioning are obtaining the soil parameter for diaphragm wall design. And, it is also possible to conclude the monitoring and execution control are paramount to the success of the diaphragm wall construction

O Paradigma iniciário e a refacção no ensino de produção textual

A prática da reescrita é um dos métodos mais eficazes para aprender a dar sentido aos textos produzidos, a escrever textos coesos e coerentes, a não cometer erros de gramática, a se familiarizar com a ortografia da língua e, consequentemente, cometer cada vez menos erros desse tipo. Além disso, a reescrita permite chegar a textos com argumentação bem construída, a sair de textos de senso comum, a deixar de lado a linguagem infantilizada, a escrever para um leitor que não apenas o professor e a se acostumar com as características próprias de cada tipo de texto. Foram realizadas análises de textos escritos por estudantes do 2º ano do Ensino Médio a partir dos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos referentes ao paradigma indiciário, paradigma este que permite análises do tipo qualitativa, desenvolvido no âmbito das ciências humanas. A partir do olhar de detetive proposto pelo paradigma indiciário foi possível indicar os erros cometidos pelos estudantes, fazê-los refletir sobre os próprios textos e melhorá-los através da reescrita. Os resultados obtidos com as refacções mostram que é este um método eficiente de se trabalhar em sala de aula, pois essa prática permite que o aluno se volte para os seus erros de forma a corrigi-los. Além disso, é possível concluir que essa prática constante tende sempre a trazer resultados positivos, visto que quantas mais forem as reescritas, melhor o texto se torna. Nesse sentido, a utilização do paradigma indiciário é muito pertinente por permitir uma análise minuciosa, mais atenta aos erros cometidos e às análises dos mesmos

Formação de professores de espanhol: algumas reflexões

The article is concerned with the professional development of teachers of Spanish as a foreign language (SFL). The study aimes at: (a) articulating a context for discussion on issues related to teaching SFL, and (b) identifying the main difficulties related to linguistic content and methodological aspects that students who are teachers have in regard to their professional development as SFL teachers. Participants were undergraduate student-teachers of Modern Languages who participate in the project Centro de Línguas e Desenvolvimento de Professores (CLDP). Data analysis was conducted according to the Qualitative-Interpretive Paradigm and Action Research. The results show that participation in the CLDP Project creates an academic context that facilitates the professional development of SFL teacher as the activities complement the quality of their academic education.

Circunferência da cintura ou abdominal? uma revisão crítica dos referenciais metodológicos

Embora haja consenso sobre a validade e facilidade do uso da antropometria na classificação da obesidade abdominal, ainda não existe consenso sobre a nomenclatura da medida e os sítios anatômicos para sua obtenção. Desta forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar de forma crítica o uso da circunferência da cintura ou abdominal em adultos para aferição da obesidade abdominal. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática a partir de busca em bases de dados indexadas MEDLINE (PubMed) e Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO). Foram revisados artigos publicados no período compreendido entre 2003 e 2009. Quanto à nomenclatura, apesar dos National Institutes Health tratarem circunferência da cintura e abdominal como sinônimos, os pesquisadores internacionais, tem preferido o uso do termo circunferência da cintura. Quanto ao sítio anatômico para a medida, falta ainda consenso entre os pesquisadores e orientação da International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Considerando que os atuais pontos de corte para as populações de origem européia foram elaborados a partir dos sítios anatômicos estabelecidos pela OMS 1989, torna-se razoável a adoção desta referência. Sobre os pontos de corte, a proposta da IDF representa resultado de um consenso internacional e avalizado pela Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia.

Quais saberes são mobilizados para suprir as lacunas na formação inicial referentes à história da ciência?

Nowadays it is increasingly required insertion History of Science on content to be worked in education, which raises many doubts and difficulties on the teachers did not have that content in their initial training. This work results from a qualitative empirical study aimed to investigate how a teacher of Biology and Science in a public school in the city of Bauru - SP was not in their initial training courses relating to the History of Science, mobilizes their knowledge to enter such an approach in their teaching practice. In the research methodology used as its theme the history of DNA present in the materials and also conduct open interviews and field notes to identify the knowledge involved in teaching practice and was adopted as the theoretical framework of Maurice Tardif’s Docent Knowledge. The results showed that even with difficulties arising from gaps in initial training, the teacher resorted to their experiential knowledge to meet these needs in addition to appropriate knowledge from the programs and textbooks, but its shortcomings make it difficult to analyze more critically. Thus, these data lead us to a reflection on the role of textbooks for these teachers is the process by which the consolidation of the knowledge they constructed.

Procedimentos metodológicos em design gráfico voltados a jornais diários impressos: estudos e relatos de experiência

This paper summarizes a research that has been developed from the concern about a company’s strategic planning, once regarding the product development process and its methodological guidelines. Our goal was to check if there is an ideal methodology, peculiar to the graphic design, which could be applied to a printed newspaper condition. And then, we could deduce, according to the design practices in newspapers, its relevance. We did not intend to create a specific graphic design methodology for daily newspapers, nor the analysis of methods, but we wanted to emphasize that the familiarization with acknowledged methods in the field of visual communication, during the process of professional formation, might ease good choices in the work practice on design. The understanding of the gradual introduction of graphic design on printed daily newspapers brings about, thus, not only their visual improvement, but also allows that this kind of journalism (which depends on a graphic interface in order to make their product come true) reconsider the newspaper as a whole.

O design inserido no vestuário infantil: um estudo sobre as roupas com conceitos lúdicos de aprendizagem

Among the current trends for children’s clothing is clothing that may contribute to the development and children’s learning through interaction with their clothes. For child interaction / clothes from occurring, this dress is appropriate the knowledge of design, which assist in its construction. Thus, this study seeks to investigate design principles that can be adopted for production of clothing that can assist in the development of children, showing how notions of education can be incorporated into costumes, studying the relationships and interactions between design, fashion and education. The study addresses this garment from the perspective of design, so as to provide insights that could contribute to the creation of the pieces. To that end, we developed a theoretical framework that sought to show the infant universe, communication, clothing and design. According to the methodological procedures for the work, there was a case study in ten private schools in Bauru-sp in order to obtain data on experiences with children about their preferences, attitudes and ways of reasoning child’s world.

Pesquisa etnográfica com crianças: caminhos teórico-metodológicos

This paper discusses methodological issues in educational research with young children. It approaches qualitative ethnographic research, highlighting participant observation as one of the most appropriate strategies for research developed in schools for children in the first two years of basic education, in other words, students between six and seven years old. It is suggested that ethnographic research and participant observation can diminish the differences between observer (adult) and observed (kids), when considering the peer culture in childhood , allowing the researcher to insert itself in a more properly way on a cultural reality of a given group. Furthermore, it is necessary to respect ethical principles, consider the specificities of young children and use various strategies to generate empirical data in order to enable them to participate more actively in educational research in which the object of study is childhood. Thus, young children could be recognized as producers of knowledge and subject of the investigative process.

Aportes teóricos e metodológicos para a constituição de um grupo de planejamento conjunto com docentes da licenciatura em física

We present in this paper parts of the results of a research that had the intention to promote a space of communicative interaction among teachers of an undergraduate Course of Physics Teaching so they could plan their courses together. From the theoretical recommendations of the Theory of Communicative Action , by Jürgen Habermas , it was possible to draw a way of rationality crisis in training degree in physics in Brazil and then propose the creation of a Joint Planning Group (JPG) with teachers of specific nature disciplines of physics and disciplines about physics teaching. They start a joint discussion about the relationship among the disciplines in delivering of a project for future high school teachers' training. All meetings developed over a school year in the GPC were recorded, transcribed and analyzed with a part of a methodological analysis feature of the intersubjective interactions. This methodology was developed specifically for the research. The conclusions are related to the joint constructions developed by the JPG, its local contexts and the possibility of extension of this group. The joint constructions undertaken in the group point to the defense of the formation of JPG in the formation of the professors who teach these courses.
