Fazendo conexões com o mundo real: uso de conceitos e modelos da física no contexto da zoologia

There are considerations of that the education of Physics of the way as comes being driven us textbooks and consequently in classroom, is distant and distorted of their real purpose. We notice that the education of this science through the Physical school discipline, has I assume a character of preparation for university entrance exams exercises resolution, exceling for the memorization of formulae and by the mathematical solutions, fact that looks to cause to it is lacking of motivation and to the disinterest of the students regarding his contents. Since we are surrounded by phenomena, events, elements of the nature, new technologies, objects and so many others that can be explained and many times until applied and/or reproduced by means of physical concepts, there is no reason for treat to Physical as somewhat academic and remote of the reality. The little interest of high school students by the discipline of Physics and their poor performance in the learning of his contents has led to the search of new paths, resources and strategies that promote a more meaningful learning. Taking into account these facts, we seek in this course conclusion work, observe, analyze and apply concepts of the Physical one in multiple elements of ours routine, doing use of the interdisciplinary nature as a possible mechanism. The animals exert a fascination on most people. Much of what we see in their way of being and behaving can be explained by the laws of Physics and its models. Their physique, behavior and activities involve diverse movements, communication and sensing as physical limitations varied. Zoologists and physicists build models in an attempt to explain or understand animal behavior using well-established physical principles. The creation of physical models is going to approach a problem, identifies the fundamental information and removing all of the irrelevant details. An example...

O léxico e seu uso em textos de alunos de língua estrangeira: um estudo descritivo pautado na Linguística de Corpus como subsídio para o ensino.

The aim of this article is to present part of the results of a study concerning the lexicon employed by students learning Spanish language in a Languages degree (Undergraduate Education program). We describe the use and the context in which two verbal forms occur. We made use of Corpus Linguistics theory in order to compile two corpora of descriptive and argumentative compositions and observe the use of two Spanish verbs (haber and tener – third person singular). 250 compositions from first and second year students were collected. The WordSmith Tools software was applied to generate the list of words and the list of concordance. The verbal forms hay and tiene were the most used, and in some cases they were applied inappropriately when compared to the traditional Spanish grammar and to an electronic corpus. The results were discussed in class and were important to raise consciousness in relation to the students’ textual production.

A comunicação em fóruns de um curso a distância de formação de professores para uso de TDICS: análise da presença de ensino

The importance of the inclusion of digital technology in the classroom has already been pointed out by numerous authors in the educational field and some of them herald that it is through this inclusion that we can achieve transformations in school settings. Based on this assumption, this paper aims to present a distance learning course offered to in service and preservice teachers, focused on the use of technology in foreign language classroom primarily focusing on the role of teacher educators in mediating discussions. For this we sought theoretical support in studies which deal with distance courses (KENSKI, 2008), about virtual environments (ARAÚJO and MARQUESI, 2008), online discussion forums and investigation community and teaching presence (GARRISON, ANDERSON and ARCHER, 2000). Based on the previous theories presented, teacher educator’s messages were analyzed during a distance course offered to teachers in continuing and initial training, identifying marks of teaching presence and pointing to appropriate mediations and/or possible gaps. The results indicate that the teacher must be even more aware of the types of feedback that are provided and of the teaching presence mentioned by Garrison and colleagues (2000, 2001).

Atuação do Terapeuta Ocupacional no contexto escolar: o uso da tecnologia assistiva para o aluno com paralisia cerebral na educação infantil

A tecnologia assistiva favorece a participação do aluno com paralisia cerebral nas diferentes atividades do contexto escolar, pois possibilita que a criança atue de modo construtivo no seu processo de ensino e aprendizagem. O objetivo deste estudo foi operacionalizar as etapas de confecção de recursos da tecnologia assistiva para crianças com paralisia cerebral no contexto da Educação Infantil. Para contemplar este objetivo geral foram estabelecidos os seguintes objetivos específi cos: caracterizar os alunos que participaram do estudo, os seus professores e o contexto escolar que estavam inseridos. O estudo foi realizado em escolas municipais de Educação Infantil, sendo que seus participantes foram dois alunos com paralisia cerebral e seus respectivos professores. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio da atuação colaborativa entre o terapeuta ocupacional e o professor e foi dividida em cinco etapas: entender a situação, gerar ideias, escolher as alternativas viáveis, representar a ideia e construir o recurso de tecnologia assistiva. Os procedimentos foram registrados por meio de fi lmagem, diário contínuo, gravação das entrevistas e protocolo de registro, após a organização do material coletado foi realizada a triangulação dos dados e em sequência a análise de seu conteúdo. Foi possível concluir que para a prescrição e confecção do recurso de tecnologia assistiva é necessário à implementação de um programa de intervenção por meio da atuação do terapeuta ocupacional e do professor durante as atividades na sala de aula em que o aluno esta inserido.

Física e música: o uso de canções como ferramenta auxiliar no ensino de física

In this work we present a didactic proposal to use song lyrics for Physics Teaching aimed to High School level. Based on the work proposed by Zanetic (1990) that Physics is also Culture, we understand that its influence extends beyond the scientific boundaries, reaching spheres of knowledge where its presence is less obvious, such as the arts, especially Music. Based on proposals for Ramos and Gomes (2013), activities were conducted in two groups of second year of high school in the city of Rio Claro, each with an approach. In one of the classes the students received as material the lyrics of the songs printed and the other students were given a table along with the lyrics. In these materials the students identified physical concepts present in the songs Nuclear Shelter of the São Paulo band Premeditando the Breque and Manhattan Project of the Canadian band Rush. We observed during activities an improvement in the participation of students in theoretical discussions, probably due to a more favorable context for students to express themselves assigned by us to the activities with the songs. After performing the activities we demonstrated that you can enter the Music in the classroom not only as entertainment but as an aid in research and understanding of physical concepts

O ensino de física e a curiosidade epistemológica: o uso de experimentos de eletricidade em atividades educacionais

We analyzed with this work the importance of using experiments in the classroom, especially the low-cost experiments for better learning of Physics, discussing the context where this discipline is inserted, which in general, has been presented to students in a traditional, mechanistic way. We worked with the electrostatic theme and low cost didactic experiments, focusing on the pizza electrophorus. About the handling of this experiment, we can see the surprise and curiosity in students, depending on how it is used in didactic activities in order to make it meaningful to the student. We discussed how the curiosity can be harnessed in the classroom, the types of curiosity according to Freire, how to overcome the curiosity to become epistemological, the physics involved in the experiment and the teacher's role in this context

A formação de professores e o uso pedagógico da Web 2.0: a visão de estudantes de licenciatura

The aim of this paper is to discuss the importance of training teachers to use Web 2.0 in the classroom. Its intention was to fi nd out whether students are familiar with the main Web 2.0 resources and know how to exploit their potential in the development of teaching activities. In addition to the literature review, we developed a fi eld exploratory-descriptive research. The research was held in a private university located in the city of Bauru (São Paulo State, Brazil). We selected 213 students enrolled in “Supervised Training III” course, which is part of the teacher training curriculum available for students in the second year of undergraduate course. Results concluded that the students surveyed have access to computers and the Internet, are relatively skilled in handling the available tools and recognize the importance of including them in the teaching and learning process. The students demonstrate diffi culty using the web in a didactic manner, particularly the Web 2.0, which involves a focus on users and collaboration. Therefore, the article points to the need to rethink teacher training courses in order to include practical activities aimed at the use of technology as a teaching resource.

Educação ambiental e o uso de materiais audiovisuais em teses e dissertações brasileiras em educação ambiental

Levando em conta o modelo de desenvolvimento vigente, consideramos o momento atual, de crise ambiental, como fruto do estabelecimento de uma postura antropocêntrica frente à natureza. Assim, a EA vem sendo apontada como uma das possibilidades de mudança deste cenário. A EA que propomos se apoia em três dimensões, estabelecidas por Carvalho (1989), com especial enfoque na dimensão valorativa. Dentre os recursos potencialmente relevantes para o desenvolvimento da EA, destacamos o cinema ficcional e documentário. Possuidor de uma linguagem própria, o cinema pode e deve ser utilizado, visto que sua presença na sociedade atual é intensa. Dentre as inúmeras qualidades que este recurso possui, consideramos que ele apresenta imenso poder de atrair a atenção dos alunos, uma vez que possui por si só técnicas únicas para tal finalidade. O uso do cinema em sala de aula, entretanto, exige alguns cuidados e preparativos por parte de quem se propõe a utilizá-lo com este fim, ou corre-se o risco de recair em um uso corriqueiro, a fins de entretenimento, e portanto sem qualquer finalidade educativa. As perguntas que permeiam o presente trabalho são: este assunto tem sido abordado em teses e dissertações voltadas a pesquisas envolvendo a EA? Se sim, quais fundamentações teóricas abarcam, e o que está sendo levando em consideração para sua execução? Que aspectos significativos têm sido apontados sobre esses recursos, que podem subsidiar os trabalhos de EA? Para a coleta das teses de interesse, recorreremos ao banco de dissertações e teses de educação ambiental desenvolvido pelo projeto de pesquisa interinstitucional denominado Educação ambiental no Brasil: análise da produção acadêmica (teses e dissertações) - EArte. Verificamos que, apesar de muitos trabalhos apontarem o uso de filmes em suas pesquisas, este uso ainda é feito de maneira superficial e é tido apenas como mais um recurso de apoio. Existe uma...
