Buscando significações na aprendizagem de inglês no ensino médio: uma experiência de fomento de autonomia

Apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa investigativa realizada no campo do ensino e aprendizagem de línguas buscando desenvolver a autonomia do aluno referente à aquisição do conhecimento de língua inglesa em uma escola rural. Este trabalho derivou da necessidade de tornar significativa a aprendizagem de inglês levando em consideração também a motivação como um elemento importante na construção desse conhecimento. Do ponto de vista teórico foram relevantes as contribuições de e Harmer (2001), Brown e Jacob (apud WILLIAN et al, 2004) sobre motivação; Holec (apud PAIVA, 2005), Little (1991), Dickinson (1994) Benson (2001) e Paiva (2007) no que se refere à autonomia no ensino e aprendizagem de línguas. Do ponto de vista metodológico, as contribuições de Hadley (2004) e Viana (2007) foram importantes para o direcionamento dos procedimentos de constituição dos dados à luz dos estudos da pesquisa-ação. Este trabalho foi realizado por mim enquanto professora e pesquisadora, coletando os dados em minha sala de aula com uma turma de Ensino Médio composta por vinte e oito alunos do primeiro ano do turno da noite em uma escola pública na cidade de São Francisco do Pará. A análise dos dados permitiu afirmar que uma aprendizagem significativa deve partir de situações que envolvam os alunos em condições de uso da língua. Ele também mostrou que situação de uso da língua em contexto real faz a aprendizagem ter mais sentido para os alunos ao mesmo tempo em que adotam autonomia. A atividade que conduziu este estudo foi chamada de foi Posters' show cujo objetivo desenvolver nos alunos comportamentos diferenciados em relação à aprendizagem. Pois, em se tratando de autonomia, a vivência dos alunos, a experiência, e a responsabilidade na situação de aprendizagem são mais importantes do que o domínio das regras gramaticais ou mesmo do conteúdo programático anual destinado à cada etapa de ensino. A análise dos dados permitiu afirmar que o trabalho obteve resultados positivos, pois ocorreram mudanças nos alunos acerca da própria aprendizagem, evidenciando que é possível construir atitudes autônomas se forem dadas condições apropriadas aos alunos.

A resolução de problemas aditivos e sua complexidade: a previsão dos professores e a realidade dos alunos

Esta pesquisa dedicou-se a investigar a resolução de problemas aditivos nas séries iniciais e, em especial, se a concepção dos professores sobre a complexidade de um problema aditivo é determinante no rendimento dos alunos. Para alcançar esse objetivo foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa exploratória sobre as estratégias de resolução de problemas com alunos dos municípios de Belém, Capanema e Bragança, em 08 turmas de 4ª série, sendo sete delas de escolas públicas e uma de iniciativa privada, totalizando 205 alunos participantes da pesquisa. Com base nos estudos de Huete e Bravo (2006) aplicou-se, através de um questionário, 17 problemas aditivos aos alunos e, de acordo com seus rendimentos, os problemas foram divididos em problemas de baixa, média ou alta complexidade. Investigou-se também a avaliação dos professores quanto aos problemas aplicados aos alunos. Os resultados indicam que quanto maior é a complexidade de um problema para os alunos, mais dificuldade os professores têm de prever essa complexidade, especialmente porque algumas variáveis se fazem presentes na constituição de um problema complexo. Concluiu-se que é necessário dar maior atenção à formação docente, uma vez que o sucesso nas previsões de um problema aditivo está relacionado aos professores com maior formação acadêmica e aos professores com formação específica em matemática, além do que se faz urgente que se realize atividades voltadas à linguagem matemática nas salas de aulas, pois se percebeu pelos resultados dos alunos, uma real dificuldade nesse segmento.

Information access law and disclosing of information by joint-stock companies in Brazil: open data and Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) standard

The strategic management of information plays a fundamental role in the organizational management process since the decision-making process depend on the need for survival in a highly competitive market. Companies are constantly concerned about information transparency and good practices of corporate governance (CG) which, in turn, directs relations between the controlling power of the company and investors. In this context, this article presents the relationship between the disclosing of information of joint-stock companies by means of using XBRL, the open data model adopted by the Brazilian government, a model that boosted the publication of Information Access Law (Lei de Acesso à Informação), nº 12,527 of 18 November 2011. Information access should be permeated by a mediation policy in order to subsidize the knowledge construction and decision-making of investors. The XBRL is the main model for the publishing of financial information. The use of XBRL by means of new semantic standard created for Linked Data, strengthens the information dissemination, as well as creates analysis mechanisms and cross-referencing of data with different open databases available on the Internet, providing added value to the data/information accessed by civil society.

Inclusão escolar de um aluno com autismo: descrevendo práticas de alfabetização em uma escola pública - ciclo I

Learning the written language has been the subject of research and study of various sciences in recent decades, in the same way that inclusion in regular education of students with disabilities such as autism, also has been the subject of discussions in the academic and even political. However, it can be observed that these two topics are disjointed, despite the importance of ownership of the system of writing by students with autism, because that would be a way to facilitate social interaction, which is the principal difficulty of this students. This research intend to describe the inclusion process of a student with autism into a common room of the initial years, in a public school, observing which are the strategies used by the teacher in the literacy process, as well as analyze the collaborative process developed by the researcher. The methodology was a qualitative and collaborative research, the kind of case study. The participants were a teacher and her students, from the cycle I of Primary School of a public school, among which, one is diagnosed with autism. The instruments used to the data’s analysis were interviews, with the teacher and the mother of the student with autism; the written productions of the student during the research; camp diary; and the observations made during the research. To the interventions, were used alternative practices, including material production (a mobile alphabet and a album of photos), that make more easy the process of literacy, The results showed the great difficulty in performing the interventions in a collaborative process, considering that in the observations, it was found that the practices of this teacher were traditional, and also there was no planning, on her part, content to be deal with the students. Otherwise, related to the development of the autism student’s written language, it could be seen like a breakthrough, have in...

Collective screening tools for early identification of dyslexia

Current response to intervention models (RTIs) favor a three-tier system. In general, Tier 1 consists of evidence-based, effective reading instruction in the classroom and universal screening of all students at the beginning of the grade level to identify children for early intervention. Non-responders to Tier 1 receive small-group tutoring in Tier 2. Nonresponders to Tier 2 are given still more intensive, individual intervention in Tier 3. Limited time, personnel and financial resources derail RTI's implementation in Brazilian schools because this approach involves procedures that require extra time and extra personnel in all three tiers, including screening tools which normally consist of tasks administered individually. We explored the accuracy of collectively and easily administered screening tools for the early identification of second graders at risk for dyslexia in a two-stage screening model. A first-stage universal screening based on collectively administered curriculum-based measurements was used in 45 7 years old early Portuguese readers from 4 second-grade classrooms at the beginning of the school year and identified an at-risk group of 13 academic low-achievers. Collectively administered tasks based on phonological judgments by matching figures and figures to spoken words [alternative tools for educators (ATE)] and a comprehensive cognitive-linguistic battery of collective and individual assessments were both administered to all children and constituted the second-stage screening. Low-achievement on ATE tasks and on collectively administered writing tasks (scores at the 25th percentile) showed good sensitivity (true positives) and specificity (true negatives) to poor literacy status defined as scores <= 1 SD below the mean on literacy abilities at the end of fifth grade. These results provide implications for the use of a collectively administered screening tool for the early identification of children at risk for dyslexia in a classroom setting.

Sexual haressement in dentistry: prevalence in dental school

OBJECTIVE: Sexual harassment is unlawful in all work and educational environments in most nations of the world. The goals of this study were to describe the sexual harassment prevalence and to evaluate the experiences and attitudes of undergraduate students in one dental school in Brazil. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An 18-item questionnaire was administered to 254 dental students with a completion rate of 82% (208). Students were requested to respond to questions about their background and academic level in dental school, their personal experiences with sexual harassment and their observation of someone else being sexually harassed. Bivariate statistical analyses were performed. RESULTS: Fifteen percent of the students reported being sexually harassed by a patient, by a relative of a patient or by a professor. Male students had 3 times higher probability of being sexually harassed than female student [OR=2.910 (1.113-7.611)]. Additionally, 25.4% of the students reported witnessing sexual harassment at the school environment. The majority of students did not feel professionally prepared to respond to unwanted sexual behaviors. CONCLUSION: These findings demonstrate that sexual harassment can occur in a dental school setting. There is a need for ongoing sexual harassment education programs for students and university staff. Increased knowledge of sexual harassment during graduation can better prepare dental professionals to respond to sexual harassment during their practice.

Subtitling as a pedagogical tool for language teaching in journalism

This study was designed to present and discuss some results produced by a research involving the use of English subtitles of some news videos from the webiste Reuters.com (http://www.reuters.com) with pedagogical reasons in a Brazilian context (Academic English for Journalism). We have developed the research during two semesters at UNESP (Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho). The professor in charge of the study has chosen the students of Journalism as the audience to whom the videos were presented. The assumptions of many theorists and experts in Audiovisual Translation were adopted as our Theoretical Sources. The first step of the study was the assessment of the syllabus of each course. This was very helpful as a guidance in order to choose the most relevant and interesting videos for students. After the evaluation of academic and professional interests, we chose some videos to insert appropriate subtitles, according to some strategies suggested by Panayota Georgakopoulou and Henrik Gottlieb. Finally we presented the videos during the English classes. At the first time, they were presented without subtitles just to notice the comprehension level of the students. After that, the videos were presented with English subtitles. As we first assumed, the students haven’t had the whole comprehension of specific details during the first presentation, they have just used their previous knowledge and the visual aids to help them in a superficial understanding of the news. As the subtitles appear, the process of communication was finally accomplished.
