Desvelando a mediação do professor em sala de aula : uma análise sob as perspectivas de Vygotski e Feuerstein

A presente dissertação investiga a mediação do professor no contexto de sala de aula, tomando como ponto de partida sua atuação mediadora-interativa, confrontando-a com as categorias mediadoras estabelecidas pelo psicólogo e educador contemporâneo Reuven Feuerstein. Os pilares teóricos embasadores desta pesquisa estão consolidados nos parâmetros conceituais sócio-históricos de Lev Vygotski, com focalização em seus pressupostos sobre o desenvolvimento humano, entendido como processo de internalização das práticas sócio-culturais; em sua concepção sobre mediação, vista como base do desenvolvimento das funções psicológicas superiores; no conceito de zona de desenvolvimento proximal e sua relação com ensino, aprendizagem e desenvolvimento. A pesquisa, também, encontra fundamentos na proposta teórica de Reuven Feuerstein, especialmente no que concerne à experiência de aprendizagem mediada (EAM), entendida como condição fundamental para mudanças na estrutura cognitiva da pessoa; e nas categorias mediadoras apontadas pelo próprio autor, que se constituem condição básica para caracterizar uma interação mediadora. Esta investigação, que se caracteriza como estudo de caso, foi desenvolvida junto a três professoras, respectivamente da primeira, segunda e terceira séries do Ensino Fundamental, de uma escola particular da cidade de Veranópolis, no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, no segundo semestre do ano letivo de 2001. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas, observações e filmagens em sala de aula, focalizando o professor em sua ação mediadora. A análise dos resultados revelou que o contexto social da sala de aula é um espaço privilegiado de sistematização do saber, no qual ocorre a mediação do professor. Esta mediação se caracteriza pela presença, na maioria das vezes, não intencional, de critérios de mediação apontados por Feuerstein, com incidência e intensidade variadas.

De forasteiro a unanimidade: a interventoria de Juracy Magalhães na Bahia (1931-1934)

Esta dissertação tem como foco a política baiana, na primeira metade dos anos 1930. Centrando a análise na figura de Juracy Magalhães, que ocupou a interventoria do estado da Bahia de agosto de 1931 a outubro de 1934, quando foi eleito, de forma indireta, para governador do estado. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é identificar quais estratégias de Juracy Magalhães permitiram que, em um curto espaço de tempo, o tenente cearense assumisse o controle político da Bahia. Ou seja, entender como o militar cearense, considerado um forasteiro na Bahia, consegue se transformar numa das mais importantes lideranças políticas do estado. Enfim, estudaremos o período de 1931 a 1934, que corresponde aos anos em que Juracy Magalhães edificou sua forma de atuação na política baiana.

Combater as secas e defender as florestas a natureza nos desafios da ciência e da técnica para modernizar o Brasil (1889 a 1934)

In the first decades of 20th century the just instituted Brazilian Republic faced the challenge to modernize the country. Considering that the progress was associated with the exhaustion of the forest reserves and with climatic changes, two big issues were seen as fundamental: To Fight the Droughts and To Defend the Forests; headed by professionals who were dedicated to these ideals. This research starts from the premise that these were the main challenges enforced by nature to the Brazilian development; the general objective was delimited in the search to understand the meaning and the conception of the natural world by this group of professionals who faced the shock between modernizing the country and conserving its natural resources. Aiming to contribute with the construction of the Brazilian environmental history and to bring historical elements to the debate about the environment in the country, the author concentrates his attention to the analyses, the discussions and the actions that preceded the regulation on the use of natural resources and the implementation of the environmental legislation in Brazil, occurred in 1934. The investigation uses as methodological basis the theoretical directions of environmental history, using sources of data still little explored and valued. In such way, it is taken as starting point some published papers about this subject during the period between 1889 and 1934 in two technical magazines the Revista Brazil Ferro-Carril and the Revista do Club de Engenharia. National engineering played a basic role in this process while arguing, projecting and constructing the development. The formulated proposals, after being divulged, had fomented the interchange with other professionals and had favored the advance of ambient questions in Brazil, in the sense to preserve natural resources, to construct more harmonic relations between the society and the nature and to equate the development with the environment preservation
