ALUNOS COM DEFICIÊNCIA NO ENSINO REGULAR: E AGORA PROFESSOR, VAMOS FALAR DE INCLUSÃO?

A inclusão de alunos com deficiência em ensino regular no Brasil é um movimento que vem denotando constante crescimento nos últimos anos. Embora muitos avanços sejam observados, por ser um processo que suscita mudanças conceituais, legais e de prática, traz consigo dúvidas, decorrentes das contradições existentes entre os discursos que proclamam a inclusão e a realidade educacional brasileira. Sob o prisma da docência, no contexto da escola inclusiva, são inúmeras as dificuldades que os professores vêm enfrentando na prática com esse alunado. Considerando essa problemática, apesar da produção já existente, faz-se necessário o aprofundamento de estudos deste tema do ponto de vista do professor. Portanto, esta pesquisa investiga a voz e a ótica dos professores das classes regulares que possuem alunos em situação de inclusão, mais especificamente os que têm deficiência, e aborda os diferentes aspectos da inclusão no cotidiano escolar e o apoio ao professor como uma das ações necessárias para a prática pedagógica inclusiva à luz de teóricos que discutem o processo inclusivo. O estudo, de caráter qualitativo, foi realizado em quatro escolas do Ensino Fundamental (séries iniciais) da rede pública municipal de São Bernardo do Campo, e contou com a participação de nove professores, quatro diretores e quatro famílias de alunos com deficiência. Considerando a análise dos aspectos observados, pode-se inferir que os professores têm buscado a ressignificação de suas práticas, mas desvelam a necessidade de um apoio constante, que lhes dê sustentação para o atendimento à diversidade dos seus alunos.(AU)

Building an effective trade practices commission : the role of Professor Robert Baxt AO

Bob Baxt, the third Chairman of the Trade Practices Commission, served for a single three year term from 1988 to 1991. He followed Bob McComas, who had deliberately adopted a non-litigious approach to preserving the competitive process, believing that he understood business as an insider and that much of what it did was not anti-competitive, when correctly viewed. Baxt was far more pro-active in his approach, and more closely aligned with that of the first Chairman, Ron Bannerman. Baxt sought to push the frontiers of investigation and precedent, and perhaps, more significantly, sought to influence his Ministers, the government, public servants and public opinion about the need to expand the coverage of the Trade Practices Act, increase penalties and properly resource the Commission so that it could perform its assigned roles. This article examines Baxt’s early and on-going role in teaching Australian students and professionals through his interdisciplinary Trade Practices Workshops, the political context of Baxt’s tenure, including his relations with the Attorney-General ,Michael Duffy, and his skilful handling of the Queensland Wire case.

Professor Emeritus Leo G Carney Optometry's quiet achiever

Perhaps more than any other sub-discipline in optometry and vision science, the academic field of cornea and contact lenses is populated by an assortment of extroverted and flamboyant characters who constantly travel the world, entertaining clinicians with dazzling audiovisual presentations, informing them about the latest advances in the field and generally promoting their own scientific agendas. The antithesis of this is Leo Carney (Figure 1), a highly accomplished researcher, teacher, mentor and administrator, who has quietly and with great dignity carved out an impressive career in academic optometry. Indeed, Leo Carney is optometry's quintessential ‘quiet achiever’

The Deleuze Spray, New York 1977 : an Interview with Sanford Kwinter, Professor of Architectural Theory and Criticism at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, on the Architectural Reception of Gilles Deleuze in America

So what do you want to know? I was in Paris between ‘75 and ‘78. But about half way through, Sylvère published the Anti-Oedipus issue of Semiotext(e) and, actually, that was for me one of the deciding events that made me decide to come to the United States, to come study at Columbia University. There appeared to be this little group working at Columbia working around these issues. In 1970, in Paris even, Deleuze was a cult – there was an incredibly small number of people following Deleuze... A transcript of my Interview with Kwinter about the Architectural Reception of Deleuze in America, which took place at Jerry’s,' Soho, New York, 15 January 2003. The transcript appeared as an Appendix at the back of my Masters Thesis undertaken at Yale School of Architecture, printed May 2003.
