Esta pesquisa tem como título Inovação Pedagógica em Busca de Mudanças Qualitativas no Ensino Fundamental I, com o objetivo de investigar a prática pedagógica no sentido de identificar a existência ou não de inovação pedagógica, no âmbito da Escola de Ensino Infantil e Fundamental Trilha do Saber, situada no município de Guaraciaba do Norte/Ceará/Brasil. A universalização da pesquisa se dá com foco nas interações entre professora e alunos e destes entre si. Os sujeitos desta investigação são os alunos e a professora do 3º ano, turma B, do Ensino Fundamental I. O referencial teórico utilizado nesta investigação tem como base os estudos de Fino a partir de (1999), Fino & Sousa desde (2005); Papert (1980, 1993, 2008); Vygotsky (2007); Perrenoud (2000); Freire (1979, 1985, 2011); Mendonça (2009, 2010); Toffer (1997); Gadotti (2006, 2008); Piaget (2010); Salviane (2009) e outros teóricos, que fundamentam concepções de prática pedagógica inovadora. Esta pesquisa com foco na aprendizagem, nos alunos e nos contextos de aprendizagem é de natureza qualitativa e estudo de caso, segundo a orientação de Yin (2001), Silva (2009), Macedo (2006, 2008); Alvarenga (2010) e Lapassade (2005), uma vez que esse processo de investigação permite a utilização de diversos instrumentos de coleta de dados; utilizou-se a observação participante e a entrevista semiestruturada, favorecendo o cruzamento dos dados (triangulação) no procedimento de análise e discussão dos resultados. Concluiu-se, que a escola deve ser um espaço aberto às mudanças e indagações dos alunos compondo-se dos aspectos criativo, dinâmico e inovador assegurando aos aprendizes novos contextos de aprendizagem situada. Concluiu-se, ainda, nesta investigação, que é mais difícil a inovação pedagógica acontecer nas escolas públicas em razão da inclusão de programas e projetos que são implantados pelas políticas educacionais.

Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender como a construção da autobiografia no software movie maker, em um contexto de inovação pedagógica, pode favorecer o letramento de crianças com e sem deficiência intelectual. Dessa maneira, a construção do gênero textual autobiografia, com uso da tecnologia, suscitou uma série de fatos no processo de letramento nos possibilitando: o reconhecimento das particularidades que legitimam esta ação pedagógica como inovadora; a verificação das etapas do letramento nas crianças com e sem deficiência intelectual; a identificação dos nutrientes cognitivos presentes nesta ação pedagógica; a análise dos artefatos que resultaram deste projeto. Neste estudo foi utilizada uma metodologia qualitativa de inspiração etnográfica através de um estudo de caso. Foi analisado primeiramente o paradigma educacional que dá suporte às ações da Escola Municipal Engenheiro Henoch Coutinho de Melo, que foi o local de realização desta pesquisa, confrontando-o com o paradigma que mobiliza a ação pedagógica da professora Maria de Fátima Trigueiro. O caráter inovador deste estudo revela-se no momento em que a prática pedagógica para o letramento dos alunos com e sem deficiência intelectual desta turma rompe com a forma de organização do currículo da rede municipal do Recife e do Projeto Político Pedagógico da citada escola, que apesar de ser um currículo com suporte teórico construtivista está organizado de maneira tradicional. A construção de uma autobiografia surge do olhar atento da professora sobre os temas de interesse presentes nos diálogos dos alunos e do interesse destes em utilizar a tecnologia para suas aprendizagens. O letramento desenvolve-se em um clima de diversão e descobertas, com o entrosamento entre a escola e a família, intensificando o significado da escrita e da leitura como via de acesso para uma construção de identidade. Ao final desse estudo constatou-se que os estudantes com e sem deficiência intelectual avançaram qualitativamente no processo de letramento através da construção da autobiografia no software movie maker.

A proposta desta pesquisa foi investigar questões relativas à Educação Física Escolar no Brasil: da sociedade industrial ao projeto de escola da sociedade da informação e os seus novos saberes. Identificamos elementos para uma discussão sobre os diálogos de aprendizagem entre o professor e os sujeitos em ambientes de aprendizagem. A partir do diálogo entre a literatura e as vivências práticas dos atores sociais, foram identificados os aspectos que constituem a opção epistemológica desse estudo na perspectiva de compreender os sentidos e significados atribuídos à prática pedagógica, aos diálogos de aprendizagem entre a professora e os sujeitos em ambientes de aprendizagem evidenciados durante a experiência investigativa. Tomando como linha de pesquisa o estudo de caso etnográfico, tivemos como objetivo identificar a prática pedagógica como processo formativo, os diálogos de aprendizagem entre o professor e os sujeitos. Para registo e análise dos dados, estabelecemos um diálogo com a literatura da área, uma análise de conteúdo de artigos e livros; observação e registro da prática pedagógica vivenciada na turma de 5ª série do Colégio 2 de Julho; uma análise das falas dos atores/alunos para reconhecer os sentidos e significados atribuídos ao conhecimento produzidos pela Educação Física no ambiente Escolar, além da aplicação de questionários e entrevistas. Ao final da investigação, pudemos concluir que a prática desenvolvida pela professora no âmbito dos cenários educativos, revela-se como projeto histórico que precisa ser construído no ensino de Educação Física. Este resultado do ensino-aprendizagem possibilita considerar como uma prática pedagógica inovadora.

O presente trabalho analisou as práticas pedagógico-culturais voluntárias no contexto social de crianças em situação de pobreza em Caruaru – PE – Brasil, organizadas por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa de natureza etnográfica. Foram objetivos específicos da pesquisa: explicitar os princípios e pressupostos predominantes destas práticas; analisar as atividades artístico-culturais como meio de construção do conhecimento; analisar se essas práticas pedagógico-culturais são inovadoras. Apoiamos a pesquisa nas perspectivas da interação sócio-cultural de Vygotsky (2007; 2009; 2004), da aprendizagem significativa de Ausubel (1979), da inovação pedagógica de Fino (2000; 2001; 2003; 2005; 2007; 2008; 2009; 2011), da crítica à escola atual de Toffler (1973) e dos novos contextos de ensino de Papert (2008). Participaram desta pesquisa três professoras do 1°, 2° e 3° ciclo e seus respectivos alunos. Como procedimentos de construção dos dados, adotamos o estudo de caso de acordo com Yin (2010) e Macedo (2006). E, como instrumentos, a análise documental de Bardin (2004), Macedo (2009), Lüdke e André (2004); a entrevista semiestruturada (Macedo, 2006; Marcuschi, 1999; Lapassade, 2005), a observação (Macedo, 2006) e a videografia (André, 2008; Macedo, 2006). No tratamento dos dados, utilizamos a análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2004; Macedo, 2009) e a análise microgenética (Meira, 1994; Moraes, 1999). Os resultados demonstraram práticas pedagógicas inovadoras em que as atividades artístico-culturais humanizam e subsidiam a construção do conhecimento pelo aluno. Na análise documental apresenta-se uma prática diferenciada da escola formal. Na análise e interpretação das entrevistas, a docência mostrou-se engajada na afetividade, compromisso com os alunos, autoria compartilhada, reconhecimento como professora pesquisadora e o papel de mediadora na construção do conhecimento, construído com vínculo pessoal com os alunos e destes com a instituição.

In the teaching history course it s found the female teacher entering, reflecting significantly in the continuous process of her identity redefinitions and reconstruction. This entering brings, even in a silent and not explicit way, the confluence of gender identity to professional identity, in which are present the relations of the proper to female. In the mastership case, these relations are found imbricated in the teaching identity construction and in the translation of this profession as female, based in Virgin Mary, through Mariano ideal diffused by the catholic church. Therefore there is a lanck in educational historiography towards the register of female teachers presence, mainly in male religious institute, the reason of this study, in which we seek to investigate: how to explain that a female identity can give support to a highly male educational project? What relations can we establish between this female identity and the entering of female teachers in Maristas Province Schools of North Brazil? We performed a bibliographic research in Maristas Schools Libraries, of Marista historial, in Recife, of Pontificia Universidade Católica do Paraná (Catholic University), in Curitiba-PR. We searched for support in studies about pedagogy history, of Marista Institute, Catholic Church, Brasilian Education and of Women; Mariologic studies, the referring to Marista Educational Proposal, to feminization and to teaching identity; and feminist theology productions. The empirical research included 10 schools from referred province and Marista Schools from Lisbon Portugal. Through semi-estructured interviews, we interviewed pioneer female teachers, Marista former Brothers and Brothers from those schools, due to their presence and action within the study period and for the concern to save their memories about the theme. The study reveals the particularities of Mariano ideal as female model and teaching, and her presence in Marista Educational Proposal. This study, in a historical approach, aims to contribute to give visibility to the woman in history and teaching construction in Brazil, mainly in religious institutions from male origin

The focus of this thesis is the discussion of stories from the fairy tales genre in reading classes of Children´s Literature. Its main purpose is to investigate the argumentative action in the mediation pedagogic process.The evidence from this study is that the argumentative action is a fundamental component of teacher´s mediation as far as story discussion is concerned. The concept of mediation in this thesis comes from principles of interacionist Psychology articulated with THE theory of argumentation. It is understood that argumentative action is a process that objectives to obtain and to intensify the interlocuter´s adhesion through speech. The analysis of the story discussion activity is based on Psycholinguistic, particularly on the study of prevision ability; on the Theory of reception with special reference to the theory of the aesthetic effect, which considers the reader´s reactions and reader´s replies to the text; and on sociocognitive conflict study highlighting conflicts modalities brought up by the discussion of texts. The corpus analysed is composed by discussion episodes of stories from reading classes of Children´s Literature realized through participative observation.The subjects were children aged five-six years old from a public pre-school located in Natal-RN, Brazil. The study highlights mediation acts of argumentative nature such as direct question; illustrations from the book; rereading that were used by the teacher-researcher in story discussion. Among its conclusions it is revealed that argumentative action in stories discussion favors and intensifies the agreement of children´s to the activity. It increases the interaction between text and reader; it favours children´s organization and explicitation of their thoughts. The analysed material shows children´s exposing their ability to argue when having adequade scaffolding by an argumentative mediator the teacher

This present work has the aim of reconstruct the biographical profile and the practices of the professor and journalist Julia Medeiros in the county of Caico, State of Rio Grande do Norte, in the 1920 s and 1930 s, justified by the visibility of this professor during the construction of the lettered society from the mentioned State and the participation in potiguar press. How were the women and educator s representations in the 1920 s and 1930 s ? With the aim to get answers, I use as sources, the Public Archive of Rio Grande do Norte and the Geographical and Historical Institute of Rio Grande do Norte, the newspaper of that time, as the available issues of Jornal das Moças (1923-1932), magazines, letters, pictures, and interviews with relatives, ex-students and friends of this intellectual woman. It was noticed that she stood out as a professor at School Group of Senador Guerra and as a journalist, sending opinions about everyday life. With this analysis, it configures, in part, her time and the history of education in Rio Grande do Norte, with the participation of teachers. Despite of her importance during the construction of education and citizenship of women, Julia Medeiros lived the two sides of the same coin: visibilty and anonymity

The most recent data of the Brazilian Test (BRAZIL, 2005) and of the SAEB (BRAZIL, 2007) have reaffirmed the serious situation of the Brazilian public school, where great part of the students, after to conclude 4º year of basic education, does not present minimum knowledge of reading and writing. In this picture, the situation of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, whose students had presented, in the last evaluation is particularly difficult, the worse performances of the country, in this area. The data also discloses that the failure pertaining to school, closely tied with the failure in the literacy, not only remains, as takes other aspects. In consequence of this picture, the literacy, even so widely argued in the last few decades, still instigates inquiries, as it is the case of this work. Our study got shaped due to reflections, as much to the theorizations to which we had access, as of the emergent questions of ours pedagogical practice. Through the past three decades, the studies in the area of literacy with the purpose to understand the constituent nature of the process, its aspects and its determinative ones has been intensified. The produced knowledge has contributed for the overcoming of the reductionist form as if it thought/thinks, in some contexts - this process. Such statements impel them to reflect concerning what is happening in the school, limiting or making possible the pertaining to school success. With these concerns, we delimit, as focus of study, the teaching action, having the following stunning question: What to make professors, in the context of the public school, to propitiate or hinder the process of literacy of the children? In this direction, our object of study is to make them professors who can propitiate or hinder the process of literacy of the children, in the context of the public school. The objective work to investigate, from practical of professors the teachers, that to make professors related to the literacy process - they can propitiate or hinder the learning of the written language, for the pupils of the public school, at the beginning of the school process. The work if inscribes in the qualitative boarding of research and if it configures as a case study, with characteristics of Research-Action, inspired by the following principles: authenticity and commitment and systematic restitution. For the retraction of the data, they had been used: half-structuralized interview; participant comment; meeting of studies and reflection; register in daily of field. We define as locus of study, a school of public net and, more specifically, a group of the initial years of school process that integrates the cycle of literacy . Of the five invited teachers, only one demonstrated interest in participating of the work. Its group of first year of the First Cycle of basic education is composed for 34 children, with ages between six the nine years. The data constructed by means of the described procedures, as well as its analysis, make possible to identify, between the many aspects and to make that they compose the pedagogical dynamics in the context of classroom, the following categories to make articulated with the literacy process: 1. To make of practical the relative ones to the planning, understood as To make relative: 1,1 distribution of the time-space/routine; 1.2 to the didactic activities and/or sequences and teaching interventions; 1.3 to the organization/election of the contents; 1.4 to the materials/didactic resources and 1.5 to the evaluation. 2. To make relative to the interaction professor-pupil, systemize in: 2.1 attention to the diversity; 2.2 to the affectivity. These to make, in the form as if materialized in the practical one observed, had been reflected, jointly with the teacher, as constituting parts of obstacles to a perspective of literacy. By means of the sharing of the reflections, anchored in theoretical conceptions concerning the practical one of teach-learning and, more specifically, of literacy, we register indications of new meanings of these to make on the part of the teacher in conducting them as providers of learning of its pupils, first purpose of its teaching performance. This finishing, possible synthesis at this moment is, therefore, point of fond and departure for new studies

The present work has as objective to reconstitute the biographical profile and pedagogical practices of the teacher Myriam Coeli de Araújo Dantas da Silveira, in the Professionalizing scholl of the Federal Net of the Rio Grande do Norte, in the 60 s years. The choice of the period is justified by being this the time of important changes in the Education, as an example we have the implementation of the Law of Lines of direction and Bases of the National Education, the 4.024/1961. This teacher contributed for the formation of the potiguar s society scholar, acting in the press, the journalism and the teaching, activity that I analyzed in this study. How the pedagogical practices of her had happened in the 60 s years? This question guided the research and, in the search to answer it I used as source the Public Archive of the Rio grande do Norte, the Historical and Geographic Institute of the Rio grande do Norte, the periodicals of the time, photographs, sketch books of Myriam Coeli and interviews with familiar, former-pupils and contemporaries of this master. I verified that her performance always was based in the educational changes lived deeply for her, carrying through a series of activities in the school as: elaboration of the annual program of Portuguese Language, organization of literary competitions and an practice based on the effective norms without leaving to unite respect and the understanding for the pupils. Of this form, the analysis is not summarized only to the practices of a teacher, but the configuration, in part, of the Rio Grande do Norte educational history in a determined period, the 60 s years

Cette recherche est ancrée dans les racines de la pédagogie de Célestin Freinet, un des plus importants éducateurs du XXème siècle, car ses propositions naissaient de la réalité de l élève lequel était, de ce fait, valorisé. Au début de ses recherches, Freinet s est rendu compte que pour pouvoir édifier une école qui, effectivement, atteigne les classes populaires, il devrait réaliser des changements dans le milieu scolaire. Notre travail le principe de coopération dans les actions développées par le professeur et ses élèves dans le quotidien de la salle de classe. Les décisions pour la réalisation de ce travail ont exigé, de notre part, une profonde et globale réflexion vis à vis des pas qui devraient être entamés, considérant que notre intention n était pas de faire une simple intervention dans le système scolaire avec une programmation pré-établie, sans instruments crées à priori pour le développement d actions dans le contexte scolaire. Comme questions principales nous pouvons souligner: Comment la coopération contribue pour le vécu des élèves? De quelle manière ce principe se réalise dans le quotidien de la salle de classe? Le principe coopératif, pourrait-il agir comme une alternative qui favorise la dynamique de la salle de classe et des relations entre les élèves? Le principe de la coopération exige la création d une ambiance en salle de classe dans laquelle il existe des éléments médiateurs dans la relation professeur-élève. Ainsi, l organisation de la salle a un caractère important; il faut considérer la participation des élèves dans la construction de ses connaissances. Pour cela, il est nécéssaire créer des structures qui doivent être complétées à partir de l activité des propres élèves. Dans la ligne de cette pensée nous avons, donc, comme objectifs spécifiques: 1) Investiguer, dans l action pédagogique du professeur, l utilisation de stratégies pour la consolidation du principe coopératif pour la salle de classe; 2) Faire une réflexion à propos de l organisation du travail coopératif développé par le professeur en observant comment celui-ci est réalisé en salle de classe; 3) Établir un répertoire des vécus de coopération construits en salle de classe par les élèves et le professeur. Ainsi, pour développer une interaction avec les sujets de la recherche [professeurs et élèves] des études ont été développés ancrés sur les principes de la recherche qualitative de type ethnographique pour considérer ce dernier un référentiel méthodologique plus indiqué à l utilisation des téchniques d observation, interviews et analyse de documents, car ces téchniques sont, traditionnellement, associées à l ethnographie. Cette recherche a pour but comprendre la vision de ce qui arrive quotidiennement dans la salle de classe observée et les multiples relations imbriquées dans le processus de motivation de l apprentissage utilisant la coopération

The present study investigates and analyzes the participation of the teacher Lia Campos, during the 50 s and 60 s years, in the norte-riograndense educational organization. The choice of the period is justified because was at this the time what this teacher remained in the potiguar lands, working in favor of the education. In the search of data that informed me concerning her actions, I cover quantities as the Public Archive of the Great River of the North, Historical Institute and Geographic of the Rio Grande do Norte and the Center of Supplementary Studies Teacher Lia Campos, in the task to obtain photographs and verbal stories of friends and fellow workers, periodicals of the time, laws and decrees. Based on the primary education, the work of Lia Campos shows the relevance of the teaching formation for this level of education and the way as the ones that in it work can lead their conceptions and daily practical tasks. This way, I evidence that the cited teacher promotes, in this State, a series of activities as: survey and systematization of the school net; organization of the administrative stuff of the schools; qualifications and courses of improving for lay professors, as well as implantation of the Law of the Education nº 2.171/1957. Through this analysis I show as this teacher left printed her mark in the Rio Grande do Norte historiography by means of her actions, being therefore remembered for that they had followed her experience in norte-riograndense lands

Ce travail se propose de discuter, dans les domaines de la linguistique appliquée, focalisés dans l enseignement-apprentissage de la langue maternelle, les processus didactique-pédagogique avec lesquels se construisent, interactivement, et s organisent les pratiques de lecture et d écoute du genre roman, en tant qu objet enseigné, dans le contexte du cours de langue portugaise. On cherche ici, spécifiquement, à décrire et à interpréter les différentes manières utilisées par l enseignante pour apprendre la lecture et l écoute du roman Le Petit Prince, d Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, et, par conséquent, la réception de ce genre du discours par les apprenants, résultat des échanges interactifs entre l enseignante et les apprenants pris dans le processus de transposition de savoirs à propos de ce genre. La condition d existence de ces échanges se trouve dans les procédures didactiques de l enseignant lorsqu il propose aux apprenants des activités de la lecture et de l écoute des textes. Dans ce contexte, le corpus dont nous nous occupons se constitue des enregistrements en vidéo, audio et prises de notes dans les carnets de classe des cours de Portugais, pour la période scolaire de 2005, avec un groupe de 5ème année de la formation fondamentale d une école publique fédérale de Belém (PA). Du point de vue théorique-methodologique, nous nous inspirons des contributions de Moita-Lopes (2003) et Geertz (2006), surtout à ce qui concerne la conception et les procédures de constitution et traitement des données selon les présupposés de la recherche ethnographique. Encore du point de vue théorique et pour ce qui concerne l analyse des données, nous utilisons les contributions de Bakhtin (2003), sur les études énonciatif-discoursifs sous une conception dialogique du langage, les contributions issues des domaines des études appliquées et des études en didactiques de langues, dans la section de Psychologie et Sciences de l Éducation de l Université de Genève, coordonnée par Schneuwly, Dolz et ses collaborateurs (2000, 2001, 2002, 2004 et 2005) envisageant la construction de l objet enseigné par moyen d instruments didactiques, et, finalement, Rojo (2001 et 2002), et sa discussion sur l apprentissage des capacités de lecture essentielles à la formation du lecteur et producteur à l école. L analyse des données obtenues nous a permis de relever la façon utilisée par le professeur pour enseigner le genre roman, mettant en relief l apprentissage de la lecture par les apprenants à travers les instruments didactiques capables de le faire devenir l objet enseigné

This work aims to describe and analyze the process of the mathematics teacher modernizing in Rio Grande do Norte, in the period from 1950 to 1980. For that, we use as theoretical foundation assumptions of Cultural History and memories of the researchers Maurice Halbwach, Ecléa Bosi and Paul Thompson. As methodological tools, we used bibliographical resources and semi-structured interviews, in order to do a historical reconstruct of the mathematics educational scene of institutions and people who taught mathematics in Rio Grande do Norte, or those who participated in the modernization of the teaching of this subject, recovering their training and its practices in teaching. For the analysis of the bibliographical resources, initially we organized in a systematic way the transcripts of the interviews and documents, which were accumulated during the research, so long our thoughts, returning to the theoretical basis of this research, through questioning of knowledge acquired and that guided the problem of our study. The analysis showed that, important moments to modernize the teaching of mathematics in Rio Grande do Norte happened such: (1) Training Course of Lay Teachers in Rio Grande do Norte, in 1965, (2) Course for Teachers in Normal Schools, in 1971 (3) Satelite Project on Interdisciplinary Advanced Communications (SPIAC) in 1973; (4) Lectures of the teacher Malba Tahan, at Natal, from the end of the 50 s, that could be analyzed through the lessons notes of the teacher Maria Nalva Xavier de Albuquerque and the narrative of teacher Evaldo Rodrigues de Carvalho and (5) Courses of the Campaign for Improvement of Secondary Education and Broadcasting (CISEB). Thereby, the modernization of the school s mathematics teaching in Rio Grande do Norte, in the period from 1950 to 1980, was given mainly by disclosure of the Discovery Method and by the Set Theory contents in Teacher Training Courses
