Representações sociais da Psicologia do Trabalho: o olhar de formandos em Psicologia da Universidade Federal do Pará

Este estudo percorreu questões sociais contemporâneas que envolveram o Sujeito, o Trabalho e a Psicologia na perspectiva das Representações Sociais: A formação do psicólogo do trabalho na Universidade Federal do Pará. A pesquisa identificou a Psicologia do Trabalho na visão dos estudantes concluintes do curso de Psicologia da UFPA. Analisou-se as questões paradigmáticas que a área está inserida, as vivências dos formandos nos estágios supervisionados, a questão do trabalho como fonte de identidade e as mudanças da pós-modernidade para os futuros profissionais da Psicologia do Trabalho, assim como suas perspectivas no mercado profissional. Embasou-se em Serge Moscovici (1978, 2001, 2005, 2007) e na grande teoria das Representações Sociais-RS, e em Denise Jodelet (2001, 2005, 2009) com a abordagem processual em Representações Sociais. As RS se inseriram como a teoria fundante da temática, que privilegiou as relações cotidianas a partir das comunicações humanas, que foram formadoras de representações, para a proposição de uma nova perspectiva da Psicologia Social. Optou-se pela pesquisa qualitativa e utilizou-se o Método da Explicitação do Discurso Subjacente – MEDS, para os instrumentos de coleta e análise de dados. As análises das representações apontaram para as diversas dificuldades encontradas pelos estudantes que buscavam os estágios: a substituição de atividades de estágio por pesquisas específicas sobre o mundo do trabalho e exercícios acadêmicos on line, por meio da internet; entendiam que a apropriação desses conhecimentos substitutos seriam inadequados e impróprios a alunos em formação; informaram desejar diferenciar-se dos padrões estabelecidos na área da Psicologia do Trabalho, ou seja, da visão deturpada de psicólogos que estavam a serviço da empresa e se esqueceram do trabalhador. Na questão da prática profissional, mostraram que a tentativa dos professores, em substituir os estágios por outras atividades, implicava uma ruptura do compromisso de ensino com o viés interdisciplinar e de caráter prático, explicitados nas diretrizes curriculares dos cursos de graduação da instituição. Sentiam-se desamparados e despreparados para atuação no mercado e bastante preocupados com as exigências dessa área. Todavia, vislumbravam possibilidades quando sugeriam que este campo apresentaria potencialidades inovadoras e de constante atualização, em que o papel da universidade seria fundamental e a preparação dos professores essencial à construção de uma Psicologia do Trabalho com compromisso ético e, que emergisse da prática concreta dos futuros psicólogos formados pela instituição.

Planejamento de cursos online para professores de alemão: parâmetros em mapa conceitual

Distance-learning language courses are gaining ground because they meet contemporary social demands and expand opportunities for access to new knowledge. They also favor interaction among people with similar goals but who live in places where no live learning arrangements are available. Taking Valente (2002), Garrison and Anderson (2000), and other authors for theoretical bases, this paper reflects on the criteria and aspects to be considered when one plans and ministers online teacher training courses. The data were taken from a distance-based university extension course offered on the Moodle learning platform by a university in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The objective was to encourage German language teachers to further develop their own language skills, reflect on aspects of inter-culturality in teaching the target language, and provide experience with current technological resources. This paper describes the elements that proved to be relevant in the creation and planning of the course, based on authors who deal with characteristics of computer-mediated teaching. The importance of this study is related to the fact that little information is available on the planning of courses in online formats.

Using a threaded framework to enable practical activities in Operating Systems courses

Teaching Operating Systems (OS) is a rather hard task, since being an OS designer is not a desired goal for most students and the subject demands a large amount of knowledge over system's details. To reduce the difficulty many courses are planned with laboratory practices, differing in how the practices are designed. Some try to implement next-to-real kernels, others use simulators, and even others use synthetic kernels. In this paper an approach based on synthetic kernels is described. It uses thread programming in order to establish control over the operating system components. T his approach allows the kernel to grow following the materials presented in the course. It has been successfully applied in two different courses at our University, the first one being a basic OS course and the second one an upper level course. Results from these applications are presented.

A multiple intelligences theory-based 3D virtual lab environment for digital systems teaching.

This paper describes a 3D virtual lab environment that was developed using OpenSim software integrated into Moodle. Virtuald software tool was used to provide pedagogical support to the lab by enabling to create online texts and delivering them to the students. The courses taught in this virtual lab are methodologically in conformity to theory of multiple intelligences. Some results are presented.

A trajetória do projeto Teletandem Brasil: da modalidade institucional não-integrada à institucional integrada

The purpose of this paper is to present the road taken by the Teletandem Brasil Project (Telles, 2006) and describe the modifications that have occurred in relation to the implementation of teletandem activities, which implies changes from a non-integrated modality to an integrated one (Brammerts, 1996). In order to do so, a characterization of the initial context assumed by the project is presented – non-integrated institutional teletandem - in contrast with the new environment fostered by a partnership between UNESP (Universidade Estadual Paulista) and UGA (University of Georgia). This new partnership has allowed the inclusion of teletandem into the foreign language syllabus, characterizing the institutional integrated teletandem. We also show the activities derived from this new modality.

Introdução à pesquisa com sequências didáticas na formação continuada online de professores de ciências

The integration of research in teaching practices assumes increasing importance and complexity in education. One aspect involved in this issue and poorly investigated is the training of teachers for the development of research linked with their practices. In this context, we present a training for research developed on a distance-learning course in the Science Teaching, which involves the design, implementation and analysis of didactic sequences: the Study Guide to the Initiation of the Term Paper (SGITP). Our research goal is to present a training proposal produced from the results collected from a survey of the literature of the area, and to investigate its application and its results in the teachers' continuing education program. Using data extracted from the production of students and tutors, we concluded that SGITP had a good acceptance among them and it was positively evaluated by teachers, in addition to promoting a greater understanding of research.

Multidisciplinary approach in the teaching of dental sculpture and anatomy

The purpose of the Dental Sculpture and Anatomy discipline is to introduce undergraduate students to the study of the anatomic and morphological characteristics of permanent and primary human dentition, through classes, books and cognitive and psychomotor activities. This discipline supports the teaching of specific knowledge necessary for a more extensive education, involving interdisciplinarity as a means of knowledge exchange among several areas of dentistry, to achieve comprehensive professional education. Students must recognize the dental morphology from samples of preserved teeth, and reproduce the morphology through three-dimensional models made of stone or wax blocks. In this article, the authors describe the process for producing teeth collars and macro dental models made of stone, their importance and benefits of utilization. The purpose of the study was to encourage the teaching of Dental Sculpture and Anatomy toundergraduate students of the Bauru School of Dentistry, University of Sao Paulo, through activities that would associate theory, practice and the development of manual skills.
