Saber ler, saber aprender: será a linguagem o preditor principal da inteligência?

O interesse pelo estudo da relação entre a linguagem e a inteligência tem vindo a aumentar nos últimos anos. O objectivo deste estudo consiste em realizar o enquadramento teórico dos antecedentes e estado actual do tema. Um século de investigação em torno da inteligência não foi suficiente para clarificar um conjunto de questões e controvérsias a propósito da delimitação psicológica deste constructo. Como em outros campos da ciência, também aqui os avanços da investigação introduziram novas questões e novas incertezas. A linguagem por materializar várias funções humanas assume um papel fundamental na aprendizagem do indivíduo. E os problemas de realização escolar, embora constituam antes de mais um problema para o indivíduo que os exibe, representam na verdade bem mais do que um problema individual. As suas facetas sociais, políticas e económicas são por demais evidentes.

Práticas pedagógicas na utilização de quadros interativos multimédia

Mudança, rutura, inovação – estas são algumas das principais demandas da realidade do século XXI, num mundo que avança vertiginosamente face a um futuro incerto. A noção de proficiência enquadra-se em praticamente todos os cenários com que o ser humano se depara. Em temos educacionais urge adequar as evoluções tecnológicas, que controlam a maioria das tarefas do quotidiano, aos processos educativos implementados nas escolas, bem como na vida de cada indivíduo como ser construtor do seu saber; desta forma, alguns requisitos tornam-se prementes face à construção de um conhecimento válido e universal. O modo como as tecnologias assumiram um papel preponderante na maioria dos sistemas educativos postula estudos empíricos que apresentam uma perceção da articulação entre as tecnologias e os atuais métodos de ensino-aprendizagem. A presente investigação propõe-se analisar uma ferramenta cognitiva da atualidade – o Quadro Interativo – no que concerne às estratégias e práticas pedagógicas a ela associadas. Este estudo baseia-se numa metodologia preponderantemente qualitativa cujo objetivo consiste em reunir os dados mais recentes relacionados com o tema, incidindo no uso de técnicas e instrumentos de índole qualitativa nomeadamente observação, entrevistas e análise documental. Não se pretende tirar ilações ou generalizações dos factos, sendo que, a investigação visa estudar casos nos quais se encetam práticas pedagógicas com recurso às novas tecnologias, em particular ao Quadro Interativo, numa perspetiva de rutura paradigmática, averiguando em que medida estas práticas representam cenários inovadores. Foi possível apurar que a tecnologia não é sinónimo de inovação pedagógica uma vez que os processos de ensino estão presentes nas observações da investigadora; a tecnologia é usada na abordagem e esclarecimento de conteúdos curriculares porém, contribui para a retenção de informação e a aquisição do conhecimento inerente aos conteúdos referidos ao incrementar a motivação dos alunos.

Vacinação: o fazer da enfermagem e o saber das mães e/ou cuidadores

Observa-se na prática das unidades de saúde, ainda hoje, o pouco conhecimento das mães sobre o processo de vacinação e pouco envolvimento do enfermeiro nesse processo, principalmente na área de educação em saúde. O objetivo é identificar as ações de enfermagem na sala de vacina e descrever o conhecimento das mães/cuidadores acerca da vacinação infantil. Estudo exploratório-descritivo com abordagem quantitativa. A população foi composta por 43 mães e/ou cuidadores e 10 profissionais de enfermagem. Ocorreu em duas Unidades de Saúde da Família, na Zona Oeste de Natal/RN, em novembro e dezembro/2008. A maioria das mães (88,4%) conhece a importância de vacinar a crianças, embora não saibam quais as vacinas estão sendo dadas e para quais doenças são destinadas. A maioria dos profissionais prioriza mais a técnica do que a atividade educativa. Percebe-se, portanto, que há lacunas no saber das mães/cuidadores e nas ações de enfermagem que visem um trabalho promocional na sala de vacinação

Ensinando e aprendendo a ler na escola infantil: reflexões sobre o saber-fazer de uma professora

Este trabalho objetivou uma reflexão sobre a ação mediadora no processo de ensino-aprendizagem da leitura, por mim vivenciada no Núcleo de Educação Infantil (NEI/UFRN) junto a crianças de 6/7 anos, tendo como proposta explicitar os elementos orientadores necessários a esse processo, que se traduzam como referência a outras práticas educativas. Sua realização pressupôs as seguintes questões: que conteúdos estão envolvidos no ensinoaprendizado da leitura? Como os alunos aprendem a ler? Que tarefas são instrumentais no ensino e aprendizado da leitura? Nele foi adotada a concepção de leitura enquanto atribuição de significados a um texto escrito através do processo interativo entre leitor e texto, guiado pelos objetivos/finalidades deste leitor. Adotou os princípios metodológicos da abordagem qualitativa, entre cujas características salienta-se a primazia do interesse pelo processo do que simplesmente pelos resultados ou produto. Seus resultados evidenciaram que a leitura, enquanto prática cultural, pode ser aprendida na escola infantil, espaço de apropriação de saberes mediados pela cultura. Constatou-se que, a exemplo das demais aprendizagens, o aprendizado da leitura implica numa atividade mediada em que o professor, administrando e organizando o meio social educativo, cria espaços de diálogo para as muitas vozes presentes nesse meio. Gera, desse modo, um contexto polifônico, dialógico e de alteridade pela ação de planejar/avaliar/replanejar a sua atuação e a de seus alunos. A relevância deste estudo concerne à intenção de socializar uma vivência, cuja tônica é a reflexão sobre a leitura enquanto prática cultural e as estratégias de ensinar e aprender a ser leitor.

Avanços e retrocessos na articulação de um pacto territorial: a experiência do PRONAF Infra-Estrutura

Since minetics The economics and political promotion along the necessity of flexibility in states actions admited actors partipction and social controlo on process of construction in local development. The Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento à Agricultura Familiar (PRONAF) by this framework consists suprass the specific points about contry world in order to embrace territorial dimension of development, focalizing actions that estimulate co-operative pratices among local agents. This work proposal intends to identify advances and regression of PRONAF Infra-estrutura (Framework) by one territorial pact organization considering its administration about mechamisms on advantage conmflicts between distinct actor and their ables to atimulates a construction of new relationships between governors and population.

Poéticas de um saber brincar: a vez e a voz do fandango

The present thesis aims to get to know and to analyze the elements which make up the poetical performance of the Fandango from Canguaretama confirming/corroborating an eminently theatrical model. It still highlights the producers´ history, its asset production and its insertion in community where we had contact with two other types of performances: the daily and the ritualistic. Such actions both combine and present different meanings and objectives, promoting distinct readings and experiences. Looking at these three ways of performances poetic, daily, and ritual enabled to go deeper in cultural aspects of the studied community and, thus, check over what is going on in these events, how they accord with and conceive a popular performance context. The research could substantiate the existence of a theatrical model whose performance by means of the voice and active presence of playful bodies, implied in getting to know the consolidation of a cultural patrimony which reveals us the past, but, especially, the present, its people and its place

Autoconhecimento e práticas corporais: para uma educação transpessoal integradora do saber ao ser no processo de formação inicial dos alunos de educação física

This thesis deals with the self-knowledge importance and corporal practices and the contribution of the Transpersonal Education for the initial formation process of students of Physical Education. In this context, students are stimulated to come in contact with the bases of learning to know, to make, to live together and to be for the promotion of integral education. We give priority to holistic conception of educating based in Emergent Paradigm. In this conception, student in initial formation is led to get back the view of integral being, life and love as education basis. We had as starting point, the essential dimensions to the learning geared toward the embodiment integration, autopoiesis and trans-disciplinarity. This work presents tracks for the teacher formation of Physical Education. It deals with the unfolding of teaching experiences in 2006, in Graduation Course in Physical Education of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, in subject of Corporal Conscience, offered to undergraduate students which can be characterized as an action-research. This process was chosen as knowledge and intervention method because it allowed knowing and acting at the same time, studying the conditions and results of accomplished experience. In shared meetings with reflected experiences, we appeal to the experiences of situations that had mobilized the corporal, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions of participants. The data collected through observations, accounts, questionnaires and interviews of learning processes had been starting points for the beginning of dialogue along with students of Graduation Course in Physical Education. The findings had been interpreted through of hermeneutics and discourse analysis. In this research, participants are considered as protagonist and boosters of educative process. The theoretical basis was supported by Transpersonal Education which contributed for a peace culture and respectful relationship. In its initial formation process, this research protagonists had evidenced of the importance of transpersonal education, geared toward action and changing, new ways of being and living together, facing the daily conflicts from a human and rational perspective. The research emphasized the importance of a new look on the teacher formation of Physical Education to face the limits of fragmented formation. Thus, we recognize that through the teacher education process, the transpersonal education provided wide significant changes reported during research, extending and re-meaning different learning levels such as: cognitive, emotional, attitudinal, and behavioral geared toward the personal and transpersonal development, reiterating the relevance of self-knowledge for development and establishment of pedagogical practice which prioritizes the life direction. The necessity of integrating knowledge to being in the initial process of teaching formation was emphasized in all the transpersonal meetings

O discurso formativo do Biólogo sobre a morte: matizes e metáforas do saber que o sujeito não deseja saber

This study - Biologist s formative speech about death. Nuances and metaphors from knowing that the subject of do not want to know - shows a marginal cognitive construction in scientific education from biologist - death. It considered as obvious that death is a theme that covers both the scientific education from biologist and the division of the subject, and concerns the splitting of the double life-death and the principles of inclusion and exclusion of the subject. Part of sensitive question: What is the epistemological weave who supports biologist's speech about death? It is constituted an object of study of the biologist s speech on death. It is advocated the thesis that: Death is an epistemological obstacle announcing for something always aims to escape from the perspective of knowledge, especially of scientific knowledge because, since it is understood as cognitive learning about the disruption of biological phenomenon life which is involved on weave of imaginary and symbolic constructions about the finiteness of life; it has constituted a metaphorical knowing - encouraged by the noisy silence - which does not allow to know in full, mobilizing hence subject in searching for transitional truths that reduce the ontological being-mortal anguish centered in subjective dimension involved in the act of knowing. From this movement of search that the object mental life after death wins a symbolic value that requires a real-looking multi-referential for the study of biology - life - and its implications: the finiteness of life, especially by moving the omnipotence of scientific objectivity expressed by signs and symbols that seek say the completeness of scientific knowledge-, signaling thus the existence of the dynamics of incompleteness implicit in subjectivity that supports knowledge relating to the double, life and death, and to the temporality of the existence of Homo sapiens sapiens, with the axis guiding the desire of the subject, do not want to know about death, implicit in the mechanisms objective-subjective founded by non-said of death is the epistemology of the existence of objective-subjective subject, whose core is the negation of death. The theoretical methodological knowing web is anchored in the multi-reference which favors a transit by theoretical current, as the Psychoanalysis, bachelardian philosophy, the epistemology of complexity, the Thanatology, the Social Psychology, and Etnocenology, and Understanding Interview. The unveiling of the study object from the analysis of oral speech of eleven biologists who serve in high school, from three main guiding: Death in the history of life,Death in biologist s academic education and, Conceptions about concepts

Natal como destino turístico : um estudo das imagens (re)veladas pela mídia, pelos turistas e suas implicações educacionais e culturais

This thesis is a result of a research on Natal/RN as a tourist destination. We understand that cities are chosen as tourist destinations beyond its cartographic localization, from other dimensions of meanings that, in its set, constitute images. These images are, probably, very different of the images constructed by native and resident populations, who possess relations of identity with the place. The knowledge of the meanings that others attribute to this city as tourist destination, bring us near to the symbolic bonds established by individuals or social groups on the act of their choices, as well as bring us near to the interaction process city-tourists where the expectations are confirmed or not. The images divulgated by the media also participate of the complex formation of the tourist image that is being constructed and available for the different public, in different social contexts. The tourism constitutes a symbolic asset of the modern society, being considered by the studious, as one of the most expressive phenomena of the modernity, for involving each year displacement and the interaction of thousand of people of different cultures in the entire world. All this people s mobilization points to practical social related to personal motivations, to the entailed desired to the idea to travel and to exceed borders. It is already consensus that tourism is a phenomenon of economic growth, generating jobs, income, professional, qualification, bringing improvements for the host cities. Since 1995, in Brazil, the tourism as a sector of the economy, passed to be considered one of the national priorities, and in this perspective, the national politics of the tourism invested in infrastructure of Brazilian cities with high tourist potential, objecting to increase the flows of Brazilian and foreign tourists. Owing to this fact, the country still invests in programs of tourist marketing, mainly divulging the images of the natural beauties of Brazil abroad. And for Brazilians, the campaigns appeal to rescue the feeling to be Brazilian, associating the idea to travel and know its country. Natal city possesses an excellent positioning in the tourist marketing, being predominantly divulgated in national and international level, for its naturalistic singularity, where the images of its natural enchantments as warm water beaches, white dunes, warm weather, constant breeze and an always blue sky are shown as the favorite scene on this city. From what was viewed above that the choice of a tourist destination articulates from a determined imaginary of a place, already constructed or in process of construction, we consider the knowledge of this imaginary a basic learning for the population of the city and especially, for educators, in the formation of professionals in this area and for tourism managers, elaborators of public politics. Based on this estimative, we developed this research that had as a general objective to identify the images that illustrate Natal city as a tourist destination - our objective of study, particularly the meanings and senses attributed by the tourist marketing (hotel s folders) and by the tourists that visited the city during this study. The discussions and reflections that had guided this research had been given from the theoretical link between imaginary and social representation, also considering some interfaces between the fields of communication and symbol. From the studied authors, Baczko (1985) clarifies that the study of social imaginary is directed for the mechanisms and structures of the social life, especially for the intervention accomplishes and efficient of the representations and symbols in the practical collectives, as well as in its direction and orientation . Following this same thought, Moscovici (1978) says that the social representation are produced in communicational and symbolic contexts, and these representations once that already constituted circulate socially as almost tangible entities. Based on this fundament and on the analyze of Barthes (1990), particularly in the approach given to the reading of photographic image, we could observe on hotel s folders that each page evidences senses and meanings of functionality of internal and external spaces, pointing to the way of leisure offered by the keepers of city which is the hotels. About, the leisure that they offer, it is directed to young public, giving meaning to the young myth of personalized leisure tourism on children, young and adults images. The image about security that hotels offer and the singular image of Natal city as a paradise place, provide an idealization of pleasure through the sun, dunes, and beaches and also due to the hospitability of the natives who are assigned as educated . For the tourist that participated on this research, Natal city is tied only by the imaginary of leisure and nature which constitute the emotional link of the relation media-city-tourist. And with such force and fullness of directions the city discloses without tensions and contradictions as a place protected by a mythical and sacred aura. The study also demonstrates us that the potiguar culture remains (almost) forgotten, due to the silenced in this imaginary. In this perspective, we highlight that this culture silence is very close related to the disvalue of education in its general meaning. We defend that the imaginary apprehended constitutes a new reading and a new looking and understanding the tourist reality that comes historically consolidating in this city. In this direction, we glimpse that this study and its future dismemberments can collaborate with the process of rescue the cultural values of the potiguar people, in the way that the meaning of tourist may be redefined, and the tourist image of the city can be also disclosed for its identities particularities of its culture

Ensino de matemática, história da matemática e artefatos: Possibilidade de interligar saberes em cursos de formação de professores da Educação Infantil e anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental.

This work is located at the shield of research that defends the use of Mathematics History, based on the utilization of historical artifacts at teaching activities, at Mathematics classrooms, and at graduation courses for teachers of Elementary School and of the first grades of High School. The general objective is to examine the possibility of the use of historical artifacts, at teaching activities, at graduation courses for teachers of Elementary School and of the first grades of High School. Artifact, at this work, is comprehended as objects, documents, monuments, images and other kinds of materials that make sense to the Human actions at the past and that represent what have been said and done at the Human history. At the construction of the theoretical-methodological way of the research we have based ourselves upon the ideas of the authors that are engaged at the teachers formation; at researchers adherents to the use of Mathematics History (MH) as a methodological resource, and at studies accomplished that elucidate the role of the artifacts at the history and as a mediatory element of learning. We defend the thesis that the utilization of historical artifacts at teaching activities enables the increasing of the knowledge, the development of competencies and essential abilities to the teacher acting, as well as interact at different areas of the knowledge, that provides a conception of formation where the teacher improves his learning, learning-doing and learning-being. We have adopted a qualitative research approach with a theoretical and pratic study disposition about the elements that contribute to the teachers works at the classroom, emphasizing the role of the Mathematics history at the teacher s formation and as a pedagogical resource at the mathematics classroom; the knowledge, the competencies and abilities of the historical artifacts as an integrative link between the different areas of the knowledge. As result, we emphasize that the proposition of using the MH, through learning activities, at the course of teacher graduation is relevant, because it allows the investigation of ideas that originate the knowledge generated at every social context, considering the contribution of the social and cultural, political and economical aspects at this construction, making easy the dialog among the areas and inside of each one The historical artifact represents a research source that can be deciphered, comprehended, questioned, extracting from it information about knowledge of the past, trace and vestiges of the culture when it was created, consisting of a testimony of a period. These aspects grant to it consideration to be explored as a mediatory element of the learning. The artifacts incorporated at teaching activities of the graduation courses for teachers promote changes on the view about the Mathematics teaching, in view of to privilege the active participation of the student at the construction of his knowledge, at the reflection about the action that has been accomplished, promoting stimulus so the teachers can create their own artifacts, and offer, either, traces linking the Mathematics with others knowledge areas.
