Torre de Hanói virtual e a constucâo do conceito de funcâo exponencial no ensino médio: um processo que parte da intuicâo a caminho da formalizacâo

Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma reflexão sobre o processo de aprendizagem do conceito de Função Exponencial no Ensino Médio, a partir da utilização do jogo Torre de Hanói virtual, através do uso de laptops educacionais. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário inicial, para identificação das ideias prévias dos estudantes e por meio de registros em um diário de campo. Em seguida, os dados foram analisados conforme a metodologia Análise Textual Discursiva. A partir da análise, emergiram duas categorias: a primeira indica que a ideia inicial apresentada pelos alunos em relação à Função Exponencial está associada a uma caracterização da linguagem ligada à Função Quadrática. Já, a segunda categoria aponta uma transformação da linguagem natural do entendimento da função exponencial para a linguagem formal, isto é, a formalização escolarizada do conceito de Função Exponencial.

Criminal Conversations: Rogues, Words and the World in the Work of Daniel Defoe

Even as Daniel Defoe's roguish protagonists notably Moll Flanders and Colonel Jack try to separate themselves from illicit itinerants, they are implicated further in deviance. Moll and Jack both embody and exploit ambiguous moral and spatial arrangements, and use hybrid linguistic formulations, all of which collocate the roguish and the reputable. By brilliantly realizing this interpenetration of words and worlds, Defoe problematises eighteenth-century efforts to demarcate the illicit and itinerant along the lines of space, rank, gender and language. Such efforts facilitated deviant mobility as much as they demonised it. Much scholarship has attended to Defoe's representations of criminality and poverty. This article develops such research to re-position him in a tradition of rogue-writing that stylishly problematises normative discriminatory practices.

The Effect of Human RIghts on Criminal Evidentiary Processes: Convergence, Divergence or Realignment?

This article examines the contribution which the European Court of Human Rights has made to the development of common evidentiary processes across the common law and civil law systems of criminal procedure in Europe. It is argued that the continuing use of terms such as 'adversarial' and 'inquisitorial' to describe models of criminal proof and procedure has obscured the genuinely transformative nature of the Court's jurisprudence. It is shown that over a number of years the Court has been steadily developing a new model of proof that is better characterised as 'participatory' than as 'adversarial' or 'inquisitorial'. Instead of leading towards a convergence of existing 'adversarial' and 'inquisitorial' models of proof, this is more likely to lead towards a realignment of existing processes of proof which nonetheless allows plenty of scope for diverse application in different institutional and cultural settings.
