O ensino de Física e os museus de ciência

Based on the ideas of Gaspar and Marandino, discuss the teaching of physics through Museums and Science Centers, drawing on ideas such as: Scientific Literacy, Informal Education and Zone of Proximal Development. We visited and analyzed the museums: Museum of Energy Rio Claro - Mill Park Corumbataí, Catavento Culture and Education - Social Organization of Culture, Centre for Scientific and Cultural (CDCC) and Studies Center of the Universe - CEU. Point out elements of these museums that benefit the formal teaching of physics in schools, as well as positive elements of schooling that maximize the experience of museum visits

O ensino de história e geografia nos anos iniciais numa rede municipal de ensino: um estudo de caso

The present research aims to identify conceptions that teachers and students of the early years have in relation to the disciplines of history and geography. The site chosen for the survey was a municipal school in the city of Lençóis Paulista, in São Paulo. The work's theme was chosen after observing a minimization of the teaching of the contents of the above-mentioned disciplines at the expense of mathematical content and mother tongue. In addition, there were difficulties arising from the standardization of education , such as teaching network uses material apostilled . The survey data , together with literature review was conducted with students and teachers in the early years who participated in a semistructured interview . Authors like Callai (1999 and 2005), Cavalcanti (2005 and 1998) and Burke (1992) theoretically supports the research . They have in common a new conception of education that values the small deeds that result in major events. The student, in this view, plays an important role as a subject of social transformation. The research has favored both the analysis of the conceptions of teachers and students, assisting in reflection on teaching practices, but also led to reflect on the training of teachers. The research shows us that the type of material used and the practice adopted may impair the access of students to the language of nature and society

Hipersegmentação de palavras: análise de aspectos prosódicos e discursivos

This paper deals with hypersegmentation of words that are characterized by the unconventional employment of a graphical boundary (using a white space or hyphen) within the limits of the word, as in "em bora" (“although”, using a white space), and "chama-da" (“called”, using the hyphen). In a study conducted on these data, we identified motivations arising not only from their literate nature but also from the morphosyntactic and prosodic information. We showed that there are linguistic features recurrent in these registers of word boundaries, based on the analysis of texts produced by the students who attended the last four years of elementary school in a public school in São Paulo. In this paper, we advance on this study by selecting data whose characteristics do not match those which were recurrent. We will argue that the unconventional presence of boundary within the written word limits may be interpreted as representing prosodic configurations (of intonation and rhythm nature) which contribute to the construction of the relation of meanings in the text.

A abordagem histórica do letramento: Ecos da memória na atualidade

The word literacy acquired a polysemy spectrum which put it away from the notion of social and historic process, at the same time that associates it to codification and decodification of writing. Concerning to this last perspective, we would have nothing to add. However, we sustain, in this paper, considering Pêcheux´s Discourse Analysis and Lacanian Psychoanalysis approaches, that there is a conception of literacy as a phenomenon which influences indirectly individuals and cultures for whom the competence of writing is not established. In this sense, the concept of literacy is larger than alphabetization. As an evidence of this proposal, we analyze a text written by a student, that demanded him to write about a context distant from his own, and, to do so, he mobilized places from the archive and from his particular memory, showing a singular knowledge of writing culture, even though his text presents interpenetration of oral an writing forms, aspect that is not allowed by those who defend an a-historical conception of literacy. We discuss that the student’s text ran away from the reduction of a merely pedagogic ideology and reflects a discursive coherence in face of the challenge that was proposed to him. By the end of this paper, we propose that the teachers should search for devices that make easier for their students to write texts in which their authorship could emerge.

A política educacional do PT na Prefeitura Municipal de São Paulo (1989-1992): formulação e institucionalização

It was investigated how the conceptions of PT for the educational area defended in national meetings of the party have configured as policies in the City Hall of São Paulo during 1989-1992. It was made an analysis of official documents and measures adopted by the Municipal Education Secretariat. Then, it could be concluded that the priorities of implementation of the PT proposal entitled popular public school were based on four categories: Democratization of Management; New Quality of Teaching; Movement of Adult and Youth Literacy (MOVA) and Democratization Access.

Educational and professional background and success in the labor market: the case of Portuguese immigrants in the Netherlands

The aim of this paper is to describe the relationship between educational and professional occupation trajectories of Portuguese immigrants in The Netherlands. To this end, the sample used comprises Portuguese immigrants that arrived in The Netherlands in two periods which represent the highest influx of immigrants: around the years 1966 and 2002. The analysis of the data shows a strong relationship between the level of professional education and the level of professional occupation. Furthermore, some exceptions to the generalizations found show that in service training may lead to an improvement of the possibilities to ascend regarding the level of professional occupation.

A grafia dos erros de segmentação não-convencional de palavras

Neste trabalho, o foco de nossa reflexão é a grafia dos dados de escrita não-convencional de palavras, como ‘com tinuou’ e ‘ciesconder’. A questão que formulamos é: em que medida os erros de segmentação não-convencional também são resultados de decisões acerca da grafia das palavras? A resposta a essa questão é dada a partir da análise de erros de segmentação de palavras (tanto de hipossegmentação quanto de hipersegmentação) que ocorreram em textos produzidos por alunos que, à época da produção, cursavam a quinta série de uma escola pública da rede estadual de São Paulo. Os dados deste estudo foram extraídos de 107 textos produzidos a partir de uma mesma proposta de produção textual por alunos pertencentes a três turmas de quinta série. No total, foram identificadas 58 ocorrências de segmentação não-convencional, sendo 27 hipossegmentações, 28 hipersegmentações e 3 rasuras (quando há oscilação entre hipossegmentação e hipersegmentação de uma mesma palavra identificável por meio de algum elemento gráfico). Analisamos todas essas ocorrências de segmentação não-convencional, classificando-as como casos de hiper e hipossegmentação, buscando observar em que medida fatores de natureza ortográfica, juntamente com os de natureza prosódica, poderiam ser motivadores dessas grafias não-convencionais. Para fundamentar nossa resposta, ampliamos o conjunto de dados analisados às ocorrências de palavras que não estão ortograficamente corretas quanto à escolha de letras, mas que estão corretas quanto à segmentação convencional, como ‘emtão’. Ao consideramos a grafia das segmentações não-convencionais, observamos que as hipersegmentações de palavras que têm sílabas pretônicas ‘con’ e ‘en’ – como ‘com tinuou’, ‘com migo’, ‘com sigo’, e ‘em bora’, ‘en tão’, ‘em quanto’ – estão em parte motivadas no fato de essas sílabas poderem ser elementos funcionais – grafados como ‘com e ‘em’, respectivamente – e ainda no fato de, possivelmente, haver, por parte do escrevente, a observação de, pelo menos, duas regras ortográficas: uma que prevê que a letra ‘M’ só ocorre diante de ‘P, B’, dentro de palavra, e outra que prevê que a letra ‘M’ é a letra com que se grafam as preposições ‘com’ e ‘em’. Uma outra evidência de que há a formulação, por parte do aluno, de hipóteses conflitantes sobre a decisão quanto à grafia das palavras está no fato de ocorrer, em um mesmo texto, erros ortográficos relacionados à escolha entre ‘M’ e ‘N’, como ‘emtão’ e ‘en tão’. Vale observar que a grafia das nasais, particularmente em contexto de coda, oferece uma complexidade extra aos escreventes, desde o início do processo de alfabetização, como atestam os resultados de Chacon e Berti (2008), quando analisam dados de Educação Infantil. As ocorrências de hipossegmentação que envolvem o clítico ‘se’, como ‘ciesconder’, ‘cecasar’, chamam a atenção por serem grafadas com a letra ‘C’, que apresenta o valor de [s] somente quando seguida das letras ‘I’ e ‘E’, como em ‘cidade’ e ‘cebola’. Tem-se, pois, a consideração, por parte do aluno escrevente, de uma possibilidade de representação do sistema ortográfico. Assim, a flutuação na forma de grafar itens gramaticais pode ser interpretada como evidência de hipóteses do escrevente sobre o que seja palavra na escrita, particularmente, quando em jogo as formas dependentes (nos termos de CÂMARA Jr., 1970) ou os clíticos prosódicos (nos termos de BISOL, 2000). As hipóteses (conflitantes, por vezes) do que seja palavra na escrita – e que buscamos explicitar – são ancoradas, principalmente, em informações prosódicas, sobre o estatuto prosódico do clítico, e informações letradas, que dizem respeito à colocação de espaços em branco indicadores de palavra na escrita (que não se confunde com a palavra fonológica, nem com o grupo clítico) e à escolha de letras relacionadas às convenções ortográficas.

Uma proposta para utilização do computador no processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos primeiros números do sistema hindu-arábico

The aim of this work is presenting the development and the results of a research, which focus of interest has been the making of softwares that could help the process of teaching and learning of the hindu-arabic numerals system, on children in the alphabetical stage. Since the most important presupposes to this work are the development of the number concept according to Jean Piaget (1986-1980) and the reality of the classroom, then three different moments have been fixed: the creation of a beginning scheme of computer activities; the aplication of these activities on children in the alphabetical stage; and, finally, an analysis of the limits and possibilities of these activities while an environment cause of actions that would benefit the process of teaching and learning of the mentioned content. Finally, based on the anlysis of the results obtained, the next step was fixing a more consistant set of computer activities, which makes up a proposal to the use of computer in the process of teaching and learning of the first hindu-arabic numbers

Considerações sobre a inclusão escolar de alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais na educação de jovens e adultos

This work carried through an exploratory study with nine students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) that had passed for the scholarship in last the ten years and who were registered in the modality of Education for Young people and Adults (EYA). The objective was to identify the effect of the inclusive education, with regard to access and equity in education, in relation to the acquisition of reading, writing and calculation, having as reference the initial cycle of literacy. The research was developed with students aged between 16 and 46 years, in a city in interior of São Paulo (Brazil). About the participants, three were attended the Term I: (1ª and 2ª series), three the Term II (3ª e 4ª series) and three the Term III: (5ª series). An Instrument of Evaluation was elaborated, with specific questions of Portuguese language and mathematics. The study found that in the last ten years, of the investigated group, few students had frequented regular school and those who attended were for a short period of time. The great majority studied, in recent years, only in special school, against the current legislation of inclusive education policy in the Brazilian educational system. Although the students receive the classification of students with SEN, the scholar system demonstrate difficulties in taking care of these students in theirs specific demands of learning and remain, still, the necessity of adequate training of teachers to work in the inclusive schools and to attend the diversity present in the classroom.

O estudo das práticas de professores alfabetizadores no ensino da leitura e da escrita (1980 a 2005): o mudar é muito difícil

Neste artigo, apresentamos os resultados de um estudo que investigou o que as pesquisas dos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação do Estado de São Paulo produzidas entre 1980 e 2005, com foco nas práticas de professores alfabetizadores, dizem a respeito dos procedimentos, práticas e saberes que caracterizam a atuação desses docentes. Primeiramente, fazemos uma breve contextualização da alfabetização. Em seguida, destacamos a análise do corpus (8 teses e 32 dissertações) nos focos temáticos: procedimentos de alfabetização, práticas docentes e saberes docentes. Os dados apresentados neste artigo permitem apontar permanências e indícios de alterações nas práticas dos alfabetizadores e, consequentemente, nas pesquisas sobre essas práticas.

O ensino de informática para crianças: um estímulo à aprendizagem

The use of computers in childhood education makes it possible for them to acquire knowledge in a fun way through games. This paper describes the experience of implementing the course “Computers for Children”, which is part of a University Extension Program at the School of Dentistry at UNESP - Araraquara. This course is offered to children aged 5-7 years old and it aims, not only, to offer children, via computer, a direct contact with new teaching technologies, but also, to help them develop both their motor and logical thinking abilities through educational games. The children that participated in this course are from the Children’s Center “Casinha de Abelha” at the UNESP -Araraquara and also from the Municipal Recreation and Educational Centers also in Araraquara, SP, Brazil. The software resources used in this course to teach computer skills are the educational games “Coelho Sabido Maternal”, “A Estrela Cintilante” and “Festa dos Dentinhos”. The children’s learning and the level of difficulty in using the computer as a tool were evaluated. It was possible to conclude that the course has been contributing to the digital inclusion of children aged 5-7 years old, in addition to training their visual and audio perception, their motor coordination and memorization, hence developing skills that are essential to the children’s literacy process.
