RAZÕES DA LÍNGUA: CULTURA E ENSINO DE INGLÊS

Línguas são fenômenos ligados ao ser humano e são habilidades criadas pelas sociedades humanas. Segundo o linguista norte-americano, Noam Chomsky, quando estudamos a linguagem humana, aproximamo-nos do que poderíamos chamar de essência humana - as distintivas qualidades do pensamento que são únicas para os homens. Assim como Chomsky, o pensador Lev Vygotsky, também sustentou a ideia de que a linguagem serve essencialmente para a expressão do pensamento. Considerando tais pressupostos, este trabalho aborda as razões da língua e busca demonstrar como a Língua Inglesa não só envolve conhecimentos de pronúncia, vocabulário, gramática etc., como abrange a discussão de fatores culturais e antropológicos como indica o filósofo Josef Pieper e o linguista David Crystal. Após uma discussão teórica, analisa-se o caso do inglês e de sua dualidade.

AMOR E EDUCAÇÃO EM C. S. LEWIS E JOSEF PIEPER

Josef Pieper e C. S. Lewis são dois dos principais filósofos do nosso tempo. A presente pesquisa visa analisar as doutrinas desses pensadores sobre o amor e extrair as consequências para a educação. Pieper e Lewis são importantes intelectuais, respeitados por todo o mundo acadêmico, por conta de suas obras, originais e profundas, como pensadores cristãos. Seus estudos sobre o amor cada autor com seu próprio ponto de vista são incontornáveis para todos que se ocupam da educação. Lewis e Pieper compartilham uma metodologia centrada na linguagem, o que leva à compreensão da essência comum aos amores (Pieper) e dos quatro amores: afeto, amizade, eros e caridade (Lewis). E ambos voltam-se para a linguagem comum. Quanto mais a palavra amor é distorcida e deturpada hoje em dia, tanto mais é necessária uma análise filosófica como a de Pieper e Lewis. De acordo com os autores, a educação para o amor remete à Antropologia Filosófica e esta dissertação apresenta a conexão entre a concepção de amor e a de homem, e a educação que a elas se segue.

PAPÉIS SOCIAIS DOS TUTORES EM CURSOS DE LICENCIATURA EAD: UM ESTUDO SOBRE AS REPRESENTAÇÕES SOCIAIS

Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar quais as representações sociais que os tutores têm, sobre a própria atuação na educação a distância, em cursos de Licenciatura. Com o propósito de analisar se o tutor se reconhece como docente e participante no processo de formação do aluno o estudo de campo teve como sujeitos tutores com formação acadêmica em licenciaturas e que atuam em cursos do mesmo nível nessa modalidade, em instituição particular de Ensino Superior da Grande São Paulo. Os caminhos percorridos para tal investigação justificam-se na trajetória formativa pessoal e nos espaços da experiência que se constroem no cotidiano dessa atividade. Um estudo sobre os modelos disponíveis na modalidade a distância no ensino superior do país, um breve histórico sobre os aspectos da EAD no Brasil e uma explanação sobre o modelo no qual esses tutores atuam, além de uma aproximação com as representações sociais da profissão docente, são abordagens presentes neste trabalho, que pretendeu contribuir para a educação aprofundando conhecimentos sobre o tutor responsável pelo acompanhamento dos alunos nos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem, considerando as possibilidades de ampliação, de alcance e democratização da educação no país. Os Resultados demonstram que há uma tendência de ser considerada, pelo tutor, uma atuação que se confunde com a essência da profissionalidade docente, numa indicação de que é necessária uma reflexão mais aprofundada sobre a função e a atuação desses profissionais.(AU)

Sistema de Conrolo Interno no processo de avaliaçao de desempenho na Administraçoa Publica

Com esta dissertação pretende-se perceber qual a importância de um Sistema de Controlo Interno num processo de avaliação de desempenho na Administração Publica. Nesse sentido, e resultante da revisão de literatura, constata-se que a Auditoria tem vindo a assumir um papel preponderante na vida das instituições publicas e privadas, não se esgotando nos modelos de controlo meramente económico-financeiros, estabelecendo cada vez mais uma postura proactiva e de parceria estratégica na gestão das organizações. No que diz respeito ao Sistema Integrado de Gestão e Avaliação de Desempenho na Administração Publica(SIADAP) e passados quase 10 anos depois da sua aprovação, importa perceber o que pensam os seus protagonistas, avaliadores e avaliados. Para tal, propusemo-nos fazer um estudo, através de um inquérito por questionário, contando com a colaboração de 412 trabalhadores em funções publicas em instituições de ensino superior publico, do qual resultou um sinal de que apesar de grande parte dos trabalhadores fazerem um esforço para promover aquilo a que o SIADAP na sua essência se propôs, ou seja, a melhoria do desempenho e a qualidade dos serviços públicos, a analise de alguns comentários e sugestões indiciam que este processo está longe de ser consensual.

A utilização dos procedimentos analíticos de auditoria em Pequenas e Médias

Numa altura tão conturbada como a que vivemos, onde se assiste por um lado a crises económicas e financeiras, por outra ao relato de variadas situações que configurarão questões de fraude, ressurge indubitavelmente a questão do papel do auditor e o gap de expetativas em relação à auditoria financeira. O interesse por parte dos auditores nos procedimentos analíticos tem crescido significativamente nos últimos anos devido, pelo facto de potenciarem uma melhoria da eficiência e eficácia do trabalho de auditoria. Regra geral, os procedimentos analíticos são utilizados com mais frequência na fase do planeamento e revisão global de auditoria, sendo crescente o seu uso como testes substantivos e como verdadeira evidência de suporte da opinião do auditor. No entanto, quando se realiza auditorias a Pequenas e Médias Empresas (PME), existem vários fatores na essência das PME a ter em conta, tais como, a existência de limitações no controlo interno e na informação disponível e o domínio por parte do proprietário-gerente. Estes fatores derivam da pequena dimensão dessas empresas, o que origina a limitação da utilização dos procedimentos analíticos. A presente investigação tem como principal objetivo analisar de que forma os Revisores Oficiais de Contas (ROC) utilizam os procedimentos analíticos no processo de auditoria a PME, estando conscientes das limitações inerentes à sua utilização. Para o efeito, e como metodologia foi dirigido um inquérito aos ROC portugueses, tendo obtido um total de 44 respostas. Os principais resultados indicam que: os ROC recorrem com mais frequência a procedimentos analíticos simples numa auditoria a PME, em particular na fase de planeamento e são aplicados com maior frequência na área dos gastos com o pessoal (comparativamente com as áreas de vendas, compras e Estado); é frequente a verificação dos resultados dos procedimentos analíticos com outro tipo de procedimentos numa auditoria; e na sequência de resultados satisfatórios os ROC optam por reduzir de forma moderada os testes de detalhe. Os ROC consideram importante alguns fatores próprios das PME na utilização dos procedimentos analíticos, o que origina uma menor utilização desses procedimentos nas PME comparativamente com as grandes empresas.

Heidegger e a técnica moderna

The general objective of this research is to clarify and discuss the original contribution of Martin Heidegger's philosophical reflection on the essence of modern technique. For this purpose, it was structured the interpretative course of this dissertation in two essential moments. At first, we present Heidegger's interpretation of the essence of the modern age which, in turn, will be recognized from the metaphysical foundation that establishes the essence of modern science: the subjectivity that represents, calculates, manages and produces the real. We will see which, in this context, modern science was still thought close to the modern technology, what will change considerably from the writings of the post-war, in which Heidegger thinks modern science from a much broader and essential process in that the essence of the technique has already been unfolding. Thus, in a second moment, we will analyze how, for Heidegger, the modern metaphysics of subjectivity reached its completion at the time of modern art from the principle of control and planning of entities in general (Gestell), revealing the nontechnical sense of the technique (beyond the anthropological, humanistic and instrumental view) as well as the threatening character of modern technique in its conversion project of the entity from the reserve fund (Bestand).

Vínculo empregatício: interpretação judicial do direito fundamental à relação de emprego protegida e seus efeitos

The Federal Constitution, in Article 1, sections III and IV, lifted the work as the foundation of the Federative Republic of Brazil, including work as a social guarantee in Article 6, listing in its Article 7 minimal guarantees role with respect to social rights of workers. Although elevated to constitutional rights, these social rights of workers have in the judicial interpretation of the characteristic elements of the employment relationship, sometimes a mismatch with the legal and constitutional order, when, in deciding not ponder such elements, causing damage economic and social benefits to all workers, thus affecting the very constitutional basis of worker protection, there is therefore situations in which there must be part of unavailability of rights by the employee. Therefore, identifying the characteristic elements of employment, means allow immediate legal finding about possible illegality perpetrated by the employer, precisely because the sentence recognizes be merely declaratory noting, therefore, the elements that make up the juridical system normative in order to establish the characterization of employment in step with the effective observance and guarantee of social rights and therefore the employer's performance limiter as pertains to hiring and employee dismissal. This point is it's main element of this work, which is fundamental for the exegesis of the theme to limit the autonomy of the will. There is no denying, therefore, the need to extend the effects of these guarantees in the employment contract. In this context, therefore, jumping the guarantees of employees, embodied in particular in the Consolidation of Labor Laws, and especially in the Federal Constitution and international protection instruments to ensure the fundamental right to secure employment relationship, where technological advancement, social and economic, reflect directly, such as the parassubordinação, and claiming more and more systematic resolutions, especially when evidence gaps' values, which elevate the debate about the need for increased use of precedents of order to support the judgments, often beset with aspects of unconstitutionality, all in compliance with the integration of standards, seeking legal enforcement of this bond and providing legal certainty, there emerged, so the essence of the theme: discuss to what extent the distortion of employment limits the effectiveness of social rights and what its legal effects, since the constitutional standard for social guarantees protects equally worker admission.

Síntese e reatividade de derivados de quinoxalina visando aplicações como quimiossensores e estudo cinético por análise de imagens

Synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, as quinoxaline derivatives, has being shown to be relevant and promissor due to expressive applications in biological and technological areas. This work was dedicated to the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of quinoxaline derivatives in order to obtain new chemosensors. (L)-Ascorbic acid (1) and 2,3-dichloro-6,7- dinitroquinoxalina (2) were explored as synthetic precursors. Starting from synthesis of 1 and characterization of compounds derived from (L)-ascorbic acid, studies were performed investigating the application of products as chemosensors, in which compound 36 demonstrated selective affinity for Cu2+ íons in methanolic solution, by naked-eye (colorimetric) and UVvisible analyses. Further, initial analysis suggests that 39 a Schiff’s base derived from 36 also presents this feature. Five quinoxaline derivatives were synthesized from building block 2 through nucleophilic aromatic substitution by aliphatic amines, in which controlling the experimental conditions allows to obtain both mono- and di-substituted derivatives. Reactivity studies were carried out with two purposes: i) investigate the possibility of 47 compound being a chemosensor for anion, based on its interaction with sodium hydroxide in DMSO, using image analysis and UV-visible spectroscopy; ii) characterize kinetically the conversion of compound 44 into 46 based on RGB and multivariate image analysis from TLC data, as a simple and inexpensive qualitative and quantitative tool.

Educação profissional e tecnológica de turismo no Brasil: análise através da percepção de docentes da rede federal de educação

The increasing pace of technological change and innovation in the labor market are important landmarks that contribute to accelerate the improvement of vocational and technological education. The need to analyze the educational processes is correlated with this dynamic in order to respond to the pedagogical processes and inherent to the labor market needs in evidence. This research theme is centered on targeted education process for tourist activity that is premised on improving the quality of services, taking as analysis parameter technological higher education in the federal education network (IF), covering the design, similarity and the differences in the courses offered, the axis of Tourism, Hospitality and Leisure instituted by the National catalog Technological Colleges and the National Science and Technology Department in Brazil. The research also aims to investigate the design and implementation of these upper and search courses emphasize the importance of training for students. The research is exploratory qualitative from survey data on the websites of the Ministry of Education, was adopted as a research procedure the questionnaire sent to coordinators via institutional email courses, to collect data in order to obtain results about Technological Education Federal Education Network. The survey results show that most courses offered by technological higher education in the federal education network (IF) is the Tourism Management, we noted that this option is the result of the ease in assembling the structure of the courses in relation to others; teachers have this type of education a more practical option for students coming to the conclusion that the courses undergo a fragile process, stating that the formation lies only in the student's interest in obtaining the higher diploma course without concern for quality this academic background, demand for courses is by being fast graduation. Even as a result of the design and development of Political and Pedagogical projects it was found that they are built in the most collegial many of them without the participation of a pedagogue; about the permanence of the student identified a high dropout rate, occurring in some campuses to migration to the traditional higher education, a BA in tourism. Thus, this work aimed to contextualize the technological higher education in tourism, presenting the reality of the current situation, aiming to discuss the phenomenon from the description made by all subjects and the research object, knowledge of which is due to experience the federal education network that was able to bring the essence of the matter.

Crises do cotidiano em Machado de Assis e Luigi Pirandello: um estudo comparado

This thesis proposes to identify possible similarities and differences between the novels Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (1981), by the Brazilian writer Machado de Assis, and Uno, Nessuno and Centomila (1926), by the Italian writer Luigi Pirandello. The two authors have prominent respective places in Brazilian and Italian literature, and both observed and experienced remarkable changes in their societies Brazil's imperial period, and Italy’s post-risorgimentale period. We will verify how each author composes a piece o literary art in which it is possible to achieve the authors’social and moral conscience. We will also attempt to achieve thefeelings of restlessness, anxiety, fear, doubt, interest, vanity, ambition: in summary, the desire of the characters to exist, which represents man at the end of the nineteenth century and commencement of thetwentieth century. The characters’ features point to fragmented identity, in search of a place in the world, even if he needs to renounce his essence and to adopt a corresponding appearance to all images that society assigns to him in order to achieve such a place. The protagonists, Brás Cubas and Vitangelo Moscarda, will lead us along the paths of consciousness of each, which demarcate the border between essence and appearance. Critics such as Roberto Schwarz, Alfredo Bosi, Leone Castris, among others, will give us the theoretical support necessary for a comparative study between the two authors, whom, like few others, knew how to express, through their characters, the difficult relationship of man with himself and with the universe at large.

O olhar das instituições de previdência sobre a casa e a cidade: promoção, financiamento e avaliação de imóveis

The investments of Caixas and Institutos de Aposentadoria e Pensões (CAP and IAP) in homes of Natal, between the decades of 1930-60, helped to boost up the local real estate market in consolidation at the time. Inserted in the first national policy on social housing in the country, these operations have demanded the creation of a wide qualified organizational structure, which would be from the "Central Offices" of Rio de Janeiro to the decentralized units of the federal states. The professionals linked to the Local Agencies have developed, on this matter, from activities related to the design and construction of residential complexes, to the daily study of financing proposals in isolated units. As from these studies, the evaluation of shelters was essential to the effectiveness of the policy, resulting in the production of data on the market value of the properties by observing and issuing judgments upon the living quarters of different social groups. Given these considerations, the aim here is to contribute to the understanding on how to operate these real estate actions in the legitimization of boundaries about the urban space and dwellings available to workers in Natal. Therefore, the views of the city and constructions expressed by the evaluating engineers in their technical reports have been taken as the focus. Being the main primary sources of work, these reports are part of the edifices process of CAP/IAP regarding Natal, whose content is systematized in the database "Enterprises", the HCUrb Research Group. In addition, there were used local newspapers at the time and interviews with professionals as complementary sources. It was found that, in general, the evaluations have configured – in a more everyday dimension of bureaucratic routines - a vehicle, among others, circulating ideas about "home" within the social security institutions, being imbued with assumptions historically constructed about the "modern habitat". Filled in loco, the reports expose the clash between modernizing ideals in vogue and clear limitations in the city scenario at the time. Fragmented images of the town are given to read through the labels assigned to the evaluated sites – these being coated of certain "scientific" character - which both legitimated and contributed to the dynamics of appreciation/depreciation of the soil and to the socio-spatial differentiation. Contradictions were evident in the endorsement given by the technicians when financing of admittedly precarious homes for insured disadvantaged categories at the local level - such as industrial workers - while strict regulations were imposed to new construction, designed, above all, to better paid categories. By identifying raters engineers as urban agents, members of a technical-focused operating system for safety and efficiency in the real estate investments of those authorities corporatist, it is desired the usefulness of further studies on these characters, their training, professional activity and participation in the construction of discourses and practices of intervention about the city and its buildings, discussing individual and grouped interests that were left behind.

O centro de Fortaleza como lugar de moradia

The present study has the objective of analyzing how the ways of dwelling influences the uses and the functional and symbolic appropriations of the urban space in Fortaleza city center, through the perspective of the residents and their relation with the living place. Scenarios of development and degradation of its urban space have marked the city center of Fortaleza. The intensification of the commercial and services occupation promoted through the years, paradoxically, the valorization of the land price and the devalorization of the residential use. Thus, the residential occupation was consolidated in a discontinuous way, being concentrated mainly in the external limits of the historical core of the neighborhood. The research is structured over the delimitation of an area and the selection of multifamily residential buildings, built since the 1960s, close to the central core of the neighborhood. The spatial configuration analysis of the selected residential buildings, and their relations with the urban surroundings and the land uses, reveals different aspects related to the urban vitality, producing impacts over the ways of dwelling constituted by the daily life of the residents. The study of the ways of dwelling involves the comprehension that the dwelling is beyond the private residential boundaries and the functional occupation. The conceptual base of this research is developed over the perspective that the dwelling represents a fundamental aspect of the human condition, allowing the person to relate with the space in an essential way (HEIDEGGER, 2012). In this perspective of the dwelling, the space reunites the mental and the cultural, the social and the historical, being marked by simultaneous logics of the conceived, the perceived and the lived space (LEFEVBRE, 2006). The development of this study, over the point of view of the neighborhood residents, is inserted in the perspective of the lived space, related to the concept of place, understood as a qualitative phenomenon, giving essence and identity to the space. The place of dwelling, marked by coexistences, is one of the structural elements of the urban land use, and potential for the rehabilitation of the central areas in big cities. Therefore, the study starts from the hypothesis that the location, the nearby land uses and the spatial configuration of the residential buildings affect the ways of dwelling, in other words the residents dissolve the boundaries of the shelter and experience the urban space, from the dwelling place. The requalification of the dwelling is opposed to the residential space based in functionality, in hierarchy, in self sufficiency, in standardization and in the reproduction of the urban space, materialized in the dense contemporary residential buildings, that are unrelated to the city. The stages of the research involved the spatial configuration analysis of the selected residential buildings and their surrounding, the land use mapping and interviews with the residents. The collected data allowed verifying that the buildings are located in areas presenting heterogeneous land uses, with a great number of residents and users. However, these aspects are not sufficient to promote the vitality of the public spaces in the neighborhood, since the people movement in the streets is controlled by the opening hours of the predominant commercial use in the area. The word of the residents, collected in interviews, indicate that the conservation conditions of the public spaces and the insecurity influences their everyday relations with the place of dwelling, affecting fundamental aspects for the dwelling requalification in the central area of Fortaleza.

A gestão educacional das secretarias municipais de educação de municípios maranhenses a partir do plano de ações articuladas 2007-2011

The main purpose of this thesis was to analyze educational management of Municipal Departments of Education (SEMED’s) of cities in Maranhão inserted in the Plan of Articulated Actions (2007- 2011). We evidence the role of Union in that public policy. The leading argument is that Brazilian federal government is not demos constraining in relation to its national sub-governments, what makes the central government to enforce, primarily, educational politics like PAR. This kind of politics interferes in the educational management by national sub-governments, turning them into mere executors. By turning them into mere executors, PAR limits their autonomy and over imposes the results-based management as a parameter to improve the education quality. In order to develop the hypothesis, we adopted Political Science as theoretical basis, represented by Federalism Theory as pact which premise is the cooperative pattern of federalism as being the best form of government because it allows a joint decision-making process from the idea of no centralization of power. The methodology was historical materialism, which assumes the totality and contradiction as a form to understand the phenomenon that does not express in direct way its existence, but can be analyzed from such categories that made possible to interpret the reality. So, we used as tools the semistructured interview and documental analyses with triangulation of data. The empirical basis of the research is 04 (four) cities in Maranhão that obey the following criteria: 1. The municipality has to be assigned on the FNDE Resolution nº 29/2007; 2. To present the lowest educational management indexes from the diagnosis made in loco by PAR; 3. To present the lowest financial management indexes based on the diagnosis in loco by PAR. The results suggest that PAR does not effect a resultbased management which are proposed in its legal rules neither the SEMEDs can propose their conception of educational management. That situation creates a hybridism that sometimes turns to managerialism and performativity, sometimes to bureaucracy, sometimes to a total uncoordinated and unarticulated action. In relation to SEMEDs management, this thesis shows that these institutions have no own conception about educational management and end up acting in an uncoordinated and unarticulated way. The thesis concludes that PAR is an over imposition by federal government towards national sub-governments that conflicts with management patterns of those institutions that are used to a less managerial logic. This over imposition makes the Central government to be the center of Brazilian federalism, which is in reality an incomplete pact.

NARRATIVAS DE EXPERIÊNCIAS VIVIDAS POR DOCENTES E DISCENTES COM USO DE TECNOLOGIA DE INFORMAÇÃO E COMUNICAÇÃO – TDIC NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA

Vivemos um período de transformações políticas, econômicas, sociais e culturais que, a todo instante, nos impõe desafios. Neste contexto, nas últimas décadas, o uso da tecnologia tem sido ampliado na realização de diversas atividades cotidianas, na divulgação de informações, na comunicação, como forma de expressão e organização da sociedade. A escola, enquanto instituição social, precisa reconhecer esta nova realidade, esta diferente possibilidade de aquisição e transformação de saber, para que possa intervir, ressignificar e redirecionar sua ação, a fim de atender as demandas de seu tempo. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa, a partir da apresentação e análise de experiências realizadas com o uso de Tecnologias da Informação e Conhecimento, é o de refletir sobre como inserir estas ferramentas no processo de ensinar e aprender na escola a partir da visão de professores e alunos, visando a formação integral do educando. Deste modo, no desenvolvimento, entendemos como necessário conhecer e considerar o contexto histórico, bem como as perspectivas relacionadas a escola e seus protagonistas (professores e estudantes) na chamada Sociedade da Informação e do Conhecimento. Ressaltamos a importância do docente (sua formação) e seu papel de mediador nos processos de aprendizagem, assim como a recepção à tecnologia, observando função e espaço de atuação desta. Destacamos experiências com a utilização de TDIC, realizada por professores e alunos, como a produção de game, revistas científicas, escrita de histórias, produções artísticas, blogs, vlogs, discussões em grupos presentes em redes sociais. A metodologia utilizada nesta pesquisa é qualitativa, na modalidade de pesquisa-ação e narrativa, em função do envolvimento com o grupo e com as atividades desenvolvidas, nas quais os participantes compartilham com o pesquisador suas histórias pessoais e de aprendizagem relacionadas às ações ou às atividades que realiza, fornecendo informações e indícios relevantes sobre o seu processo de formação ao longo do tempo. A revisão de literatura foi realizada por meio de análise bibliográfica e documental em livros, teses, dissertações, periódicos específicos sobre o assunto, além de artigos publicados na Internet. A coleta de dados foi realizada a partir de conversas informais, entrevistas semiestruturadas e filmagem dos relatos. A análise foi realizada a partir da abordagem hermenêutico-fenomenológica, que busca descrever e interpretar fenômenos da experiência humana, a fim de investigar a essência por meio da identificação de temas. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade e possibilidade da ampliação da utilização de TDIC como recurso no processo de ensino e aprendizagem, por meio de formação, diálogo, interação, intencionalidade, expectativas, esperança e seus desdobramentos.
