Alguns aspectos problemáticos relacionados ao ensino-aprendizagem da álgebra linear

Este trabalho aborda alguns aspectos que considero como possíveis dificuldades ao ensino-aprendizagem da disciplina Álgebra Linear. Trata-se de uma disciplina de grande importância para muitos cursos de graduação da universidade e considero que qualquer estudo que objetive melhorar este ensino é importante. Contém diversas considerações sobre dificuldades que os alunos podem enfrentar no estudo da disciplina, como aquelas relacionadas ao conhecimento que já trazem do curso médio que tanto podem ser usados como auxilio como também podem causar dificuldades de entendimento dos conceitos mais gerais da disciplina, dificuldades com o uso da geometria, dificuldades com termos conhecidos de outras disciplinas, dificuldades lógicas e outras dificuldades.

Constituição dos saberes docentes de formadores de professores de matemática

O objetivo desta pesquisa é compreender como os formadores de professores de Matemática, ao longo de sua formação e desenvolvimento profissional, constituem, elaboram e reelaboram, diante dos desafios da prática docente no nível superior, os seus saberes docentes. Os sujeitos da pesquisa são professores que atuam como formadores de professores no curso de matemática da UFPA, lotados no Campus Universitário do Sul e Sudeste do Pará. A produção de material de análise foi realizada através de entrevistas que foram gravadas, nas quais buscou-se informações junto a cinco formadores de professores de matemática, todos formados pela UFPA. Três desses formadores atuam nas disciplinas específicas de matemática e dois atuam nas disciplinas pedagógicas. A análise da formação profissional dos formadores foi desenvolvida levando em consideração sua formação a partir de seu ambiente familiar, sua passagem pelo Ensino Fundamental e Médio, sua graduação e pós-graduação, considerando ainda os desafios e dificuldades do trabalho docente vivenciados por eles para constituírem sua identidade docente. Três foram os eixos de análise: a) a formação inicial e continuada do formador; b) percepções e reflexões acerca do curso de licenciatura em matemática do CSSP; c) o modo como concebe, produz e desenvolve seu trabalho docente, e como esses processos têm contribuído para a construção de seus saberes docentes. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam, entre outros aspectos, que ao longo do processo de formação e desenvolvimento profissional a construção dos saberes do formador é caracterizada por um período de intensas aprendizagens que coadunam com o que diz a literatura em relação ao choque de realidade, sendo marcada por desafios, angústias e dilemas, mas, também, por sentimentos de satisfação, responsabilidade e alegrias. A análise das falas dos formadores de professores nos revelam como são mobilizados os saberes adquiridos ao longo da vida, especialmente durante a sua prática docente, e evidenciam que, apesar de os professores perceberem que é na ação pedagógica que eles aprendem e continuam aprendendo a ser professores, reconhecem que a formação acadêmica tem sido fundamental e constitui um diferencial no processo de constituição profissional.

Análise praxeológica de conexões entre aritmética e álgebra no contexto do desenvolvimento profissional do professor de matemática

Este trabalho é uma pesquisa narrativa autobiográfica, que expõe a análise das minhas praxeologias, no contexto do meu desenvolvimento profissional, como professor de matemática. O foco da análise recai sobre os diversos conflitos praxeológicos que vivi durante a elaboração e aplicação em sala de aula de uma proposta didática para ensinar operações polinomiais na sétima série (oitavo ano) do ensino fundamental. Com esta pesquisa pretendi responder a seguinte questão: Quais conexões entre aritmética e álgebra determinaram as minhas praxeologias durante a ampliação didática que desenvolvi, para ensinar adição, subtração, multiplicação e divisão de polinômios, na sétima série (oitavo ano) do ensino fundamental? Para analisar as minhas próprias praxeologias a partir da proposta didática que elaborei, assumi a Teoria Antropológica do Didático (TAD) de Yves Chevallard como referencial teórico principal. A análise que fiz das minhas próprias praxeologias envolveu sistema de numeração decimal, operações aritméticas fundamentais, operações polinomiais, tipos de tarefas e técnicas, universo cognitivo e equipamento praxeológico. Os resultados apontam que as minhas relações pessoais com tipos de objetos ostensivos e não ostensivos e tipos de tarefas e técnicas presentes ou não na proposta didática que elaborei, revelam quais praxeologias passadas e presentes compunham os diversos momentos do meu desenvolvimento profissional como professor de matemática. Assim, antes da graduação vivi as praxeologias de professor leigo, durante e após a especialização o meu universo cognitivo passou por conflitos praxeológicos, revelando que as sujeições institucionais conformavam as minhas praxeologias para ensinar as operações polinomiais.

A ginástica no ensino fundamental e médio na cidade de Rio Claro/SP: a perspectiva dos alunos

The Gymnastic as a manifestation of the Body Culture Movement should be part of the contents worked in scholar Physical Education, throughout the process of Basic teaching. However, according to studies conducted by researchers from academic Gymnastics school knowledge involving the gymnastics have been tentatively taught in school by numerous factors. For this, the objective of this research was to understand and analyze the opinion of students in middle and high school about gymnastics classes developed with the involvement of graduation scholarship holder and the coordination of the project Gymnastics Goes to School from the UNESP/Campus Rio Claro “Núcleos de Ensino”, in 2012. This research used a questionnaire with topics about the Gymnastic with options: Never Practiced, Like a Lot, Like, Am Indifferent, Dislike, Hate with a space for writing and drawing, relevant to the research objectives. The research was performed with 79 students in middle and high school. With data analysis, it was observed that the students identified themselves more with the Artistic Gymnastic, followed by Rhythmic and Acrobatic Gymnastic and, at last, the General Gymnastic, both through the questionnaire and trough the drawings, which goes against the results from the article published in 2010 by Pereira et al, entitled The students detest the contents gymnastic in physical education classes: motives and alternatives, where the students understand the gymnastics activities only as support, abdominal and stretching. Therefore, to have a real understanding of gymnastics in school, there is a need for teachers to explain and develop the contents gimmicks, so the students could understand the difference among Gymnastics activities and, at the same time, discovering the pleasures of this body practice

O trabalho de licenciandos em alemão e inglês no PIBID: a construção da prática docente a partir das crenças de alunos do Ensino Médio sobre língua e cultura estrangeira

For some time, researchers in teacher education (ZEICHNER; LISTON, 1996; GIMENEZ, 2005) have been drawing attention to the need to place undergraduates in contexts of practice that help them make sense of the theoretical training they receive in the graduation course. In this article, we discuss the intersection between school and university for initial foreign language teacher education through activities carried out under the Brazilian Institutional Program for Initiation to Teaching – Language and Literature of a state university. These activities were aimed, on the one hand, to promote reflection about the concept of culture and intercultural language teaching during initial teacher education and, secondly, to deconstruct stereotypes of high school students about German and English language and culture. Based on the analysis of data on the beliefs of students of the school and the support of theoretical studies such as Kramsch (2006, 2009), Bolognini (1993), among others, workshops were designed to expand the cultural universe of the high school students in the partner state school, the concept of culture and to deconstruct stereotypes. It was found that the activity contributed to the reflective education of the undergraduate students in relation to the treatment of the subject culture in language teaching.

Review of Native Americans in the School System: Family, Community, and Academic Achievement by Carol J. Ward

The title of this volume promises more than the content delivers. The heart of the book is information from Ward's 1992 University of Chicago doctoral dissertation, which focused on the social and cultural reasons leading to students dropping out of school. Her first two chapters provide a good review of research on dropouts and Indian education; the following six focus on the results of her 1987-1989 study of 698 Northern Cheyenne, Crow, and white high school students attending the Colstrip Public, St. Labre Catholic, and Busby Tribal Schools in Montana. Fifty-two percent of the students in this study were Indian, with a dropout rate of 45% .

Teacher resistance to school-based consultation with the school psychologist: An analysis according to school level and model of identification for special education services

Consultation is promoted throughout school psychology literature as a best practice in service delivery. This method has numerous benefits including being able to work with more students at one time, providing practitioners with preventative rather than strictly reactive strategies, and helping school professionals meet state and federal education mandates and initiatives. Despite the benefits of consultation, teachers are sometimes resistant to this process.This research studies variables hypothesized to lead to resistance (Gonzalez, Nelson, Gutkin, & Shwery, 2004) and attempts to distinguish differences between school level (elementary, middle and high school) with respect to the role played by these variables and to determine if the model used to identify students for special education services has an influence on resistance factors. Twenty-sixteachers in elementary and middle schools responded to a demographicquestionnaire and a survey developed by Gonzalez, et al. (2004). This survey measures eight variables related to resistance to consultation. No high school teachers responded to the request to participate. Results of analysis of variance indicated a significant difference in the teaching efficacy subscale with elementary teachers reporting more efficacy in teaching than middle school teachers. Results also indicate a significant difference in classroom managementefficacy with teachers who work in schools that identify students according to a Response to Intervention model reporting higher classroom management efficacy than teachers who work in schools that identify students according to a combined method of refer-test-place/RtI combination model. Implications, limitations and directions for future research are discussed.

A Comparative Study of English Word Order Acquisition by Elementary and Secondary School Pupils - Native Speakers of Serbian and Hungarian

Kitic investigated the phenomenon of English word order acquisition by Serbian and Hungarian speakers, examining both the theoretical and empirical aspects of this phenomenon. She began by looking at language learning and language acquisition, viewing word order acquisition in the context of relevant linguistic and psycholinguistic knowledge. The main hypothesis of her empirical investigation was that the majority of word order mistakes in the language production of Serbian and Hungarian speakers of English is due to mother tongue interference. Three supporting hypotheses were introduced to specify the phenomenon of interference in its correlation to (1) language proficiency, (2) sentence patterns, and (3) optional adverbials. The conclusions were based on error analysis of 9280 sentences of 464 elementary and high school learners. The results showed that a learner's level of proficiency seems to be a relevant factor in mother tongue interference as this decreases with increased proficiency. Word order errors are however fossilised at the highest levels. The causes of interference errors, which increase with the number of sentence elements, are either absent sentence patterns or similar ones. In the case of adverbials, word order errors have two forms: interrelation (with canonical elements) and mixed adverbials.

Real-world context, interest, understanding, and retention

This study investigated the use of real-world contexts during instruction in a high school physics class - through building file folder bridges- and the resulting effect upon student interest in the subject matter, level of understanding, and degree of retention. In particular, the study focused upon whether increases in student interest were attained through the use of real-world contexts, and if the elevated interest level led to a higher degree of subject matter understanding than would be achieved using more traditional teaching methods. The study also determined whether using real-world contexts ultimately resulted in achievement of greater levels of knowledge retention by students. Class observations during traditionally taught units and during units that incorporated real-world contexts, along with a post-graduation questionnaire, were used to assess differences in student interest levels. Student pre- and post-unit test scores were evaluated and compared to determine if statistical differences existed in levels of understanding resulting from the different teaching methods. The post-graduation questionnaire results provided evidence of retention that could be related back to teaching methods. The results of this study revealed the importance of incorporating real-world contexts into science and mathematics courses. Students better understood the relevance of the lessons, which led to higher levels of interest and greater understanding than was achieved through more traditional teaching methods. The use of real-world contexts improved knowledge retention.
