The purpose of this study was to investigate gait spatial parameters at the point of departure, with obstacle heights adjusted to individual body scale. Undergraduate student volunteers (M age=22.4 yr., SD=2.1; 6 women, 1 man) were asked to step once, then cross over an obstacle and stop. This behavior was video recorded to extract kinematic data. The obstacle heights corresponded to high (knee-height) and low obstacles (half the knee-height). Points of departure corresponded to far (length of the lower limb) and close (half the length of the lower limb). The close point of departure influenced the trailing foot's placement ahead of the obstacle as well as step length. The high obstacle influenced the trailing foot's toe clearance. An interaction between factors was observed for leading foot toe clearance. Results indicate that body scale affected the participants' locomotor behavior during the obstacle-avoidance task.

This paper describes an innovative approach to develop the understanding about the relevance of mathematics to computer science. The mathematical subjects are introduced through an application-to-model scheme that lead computer science students to a better understanding of why they have to learn math and learn it effectively. Our approach consists of a single one semester course, taught at the first semester of the program, where the students are initially exposed to some typical computer applications. When they recognize the applications' complexity, the instructor gives the mathematical models supporting such applications, even before a formal introduction to the model in a math course. We applied this approach at Unesp (Brazil) and the results include a large reduction in the rate of students that abandon the college and better students in the final years of our program.

A presente pesquisa desenvolve uma discussão acerca da formação inicial de professores de Licenciatura em Letras - Português. A crise pela qual passa a educação no Brasil hoje afeta a universidade brasileira e tem reflexos diretos sobre a qualidade da educação básica, na medida em que deveria constituir centro de formação, reflexão e produção de conhecimento para a escola. Os problemas que a universidade encara, especificamente no tocante às licenciaturas, têm raízes muito mais complexas do que a formulação de metas quantitativas para a formação inicial de professores ou para a alocação de recursos financeiros. Logo, é importante (e necessário) que se conheça melhor a constituição dos cursos de licenciatura que estão formando os professores contemporâneos. A pesquisa proposta tem como objetivo investigar, em duas instituições de ensino superior da região metropolitana de Belém-PA (uma pública e uma privada), a constituição das “disciplinas” de Metodologia do Ensino de Língua Portuguesa, denominadas como MELP. O quadro teórico que norteia este trabalho é o da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, de maneira particular os conceitos de Função Enunciativa, Formação Discursiva e Disciplina, apresentados por Michel Foucault em suas obras Arqueologia do Saber (1987) e A Ordem do Discurso (1996). Analisamos dados coletados em pesquisa documental (Projeto Pedagógico do Curso, Ementas, Planos de ensino e Material didático) e pesquisa de campo (observação em sala de aula, anotações de alunos e diário de campo), com o intuito de verificar quais elementos de disciplinas, no sentido foucaultiano (FOUCAULT, 1996), se fazem presentes na constituição das atividades curriculares de MELP desses Cursos de Licenciatura em Letras. Os dados de duas disciplinas foram analisados a fim de identificar que objetos, métodos, proposições, definições/conceitos são reconhecidos e de que maneira se relacionam. Os resultados mostram um cenário bem diverso quanto à organização das atividades de prática de ensino e estágio supervisionado nos dois cursos no que tange a) à distribuição da carga horária no currículo; b) à articulação de objetos, métodos, conceitos e proposições de disciplinas variadas e c) ao próprio papel do aluno de Letras. O desafio que se apresenta é constituir as MELP a partir de um processo disciplinar de produção de saberes.

This article mainly aims at addressing issues of the complexity and dynamics of beliefs in collaborative contexts for language teaching and learning, such as Teletandem. On the assumption that beliefs are dynamic and can be (re)signified, we present some of the results of a research about the interaction of beliefs of two Teletandem partners, a Brazilian and an Italian undergraduate student, addressing moments of convergence and divergence, as well as their possible origins and (re)significations from lived experiences. The results show how the Teletandem context can become a field for conflicts and clashes of beliefs and how the mediation as well as the relationship between the participants becomes essential for the conduction of language learning in collaborative environments.

This research project aims to determine the main way that the inclusion of topics of history and philosophy of science education activities aimed at high school, influence the process of teaching and learning of chemistry. The subject of research will be a teacher, undergraduate student in chemistry and public school students that the teaching units developed will be applied. The literature presents a large of research indicating the need to include these topics in education and present the results of large withdrawals of original sources of the development of scientific knowledge. Despite of the large number of these works are not very common reports of application of the results of these studies on activities of the classroom, which reinforces the importance of this study

Infections Related to Healthcare (IRAS) is a problem of worldwide concern, responsible for much morbidity and lethality. The incidence of IRAS associated with resistant microorganisms has increased worldwide. It is also known that the etiology of bacterial resistance is multifactorial, thus controlling the spread of resistant microorganisms requires the implementation of control measures that involve the performance of standard and contact precautions, plus the use of antimicrobials. To diagnose the problem as to the likely accession of the measures of infection control was prepared in a form to inspect the practices of the health staff acting with patients in contact precautions. The inspections had an educational and awareness, no punitive measures were taken to staff as warnings, suspensions or complains of a breach of ethics. If any irregularities were found, the professional standards of care countershaft contact and the nurse responsible for the head nurse or unit area were notified and counseled about the correct practice of isolation. While an undergraduate student initiated precautionary inspections of contact in order to verify the actual use of isolation measures, since the professionals were unaware of my active participation in the Committee on Infection Control. Facilities and difficulties were encountered in the process, and from the inspections was possible interventions to facilitate compliance with standards for isolation imposed by contact. Since the instrument has significantly improved adherence to contact isolation practices, the members of the Infection Control regulated inspections and intend to use it as a permanent method

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.

This article presents some of the results of a qualitative research project about the influences of the pedagogic strategies used by a mediator (graduate student in applied linguistics) in the supervision process of a Teletandem partner (undergraduate student in languages) on her pedagogical practice. It was done within the project Teletandem Brazil: foreign language for all. Based on the reflective teaching paradigm and collaborative language learning, with special emphasis on tandem learning, we analyzed the contributions of the collaborative relationship established between the graduate student and the student-teacher in her first teaching experience. The results bring about implications for the field of language teacher education in a perspective of education within practice, evidencing the experience of collaborative learning in teletandem as an opportunity for reflective teacher education of pre-service teachers.

The teaching/learning activities of the daylighting built environment require from the Architecture and Urbanism undergraduate student the ability to abstract the effects of daylight distributed in three-dimensional space that is being designed. Several tools and techniques can be used to facilitate the understanding of the involved phenomena, among which the computational simulation. This paper reports the digital inclusion of the daylighting teaching in the Architecture and Urbanism undergraduate course at the School of Architecture, Arts and Social Communication of Bauru (FAAC) of UNESP – Sao Paulo State University, that began in 2010. The inclusion process involved free software use, specifically the programs DIALux and SketchUp+Radiance, both with graphical output for the illuminated scenes visualization and for result analysis. The graphic model is converted from SketchUp to Radiance by a plugin and a user-friendly interface for Windows was developed to simulate the lighting. The process of digital inclusion is consolidated, with wide acceptance by students, for which computational simulation facilitates understanding of relation between daylight and built environment and helps the design process of elements for daylighting control.
