Reflexiones sobre la investigación acción en el abordaje de las memorias e identidades indígenas kollas en la ciudad de La Plata

Este trabajo tiene como finalidad presentar los principales lineamientos de lo que constituye mi proyecto tesis de investigación de posgrado explicitando los objetivos generales y particulares que se buscan alcanzar. Asimismo, se presentan cuestiones referidas a los desafíos que plantea el trabajo con entrevistas y observaciones participantes, especialmente las que atañen prácticas de grupos tradicionalmente silenciados y relegados al olvido como son las comunidades indígenas de Argentina. La posibilidad de entablar vínculos estrechos con miembros de estas comunidades que permitan dar cuenta de las experiencias personales y colectivas, las memorias sociales compartidas, las herencias ancestrales y culturales, constituye el resultado de un trabajo sostenido en el largo plazo. En este caso, el desarrollo de ésta investigación se plantea como un proceso conjunto y participativo, fruto de una experiencia de extensión universitaria que permitió el acercamiento y vinculación con la comunidad kolla, Asociación Civil Warmikunamanta Antipak Sonqokuna. En consecuencia, se buscará abrir a la reflexión sobre la producción de saberes en ciencias sociales, especialmente en los estudios sobre sociedades indígenas del siglo XXI

ESCOLA PÚBLICA DE TEMPO INTEGRAL: UM ESTUDO DE CASO DAS REPRESENTAÇÕES SOCIAIS DOS PROFESSORES SOBRE OS PROCESSOS FORMATIVOS

O presente trabalho analisa as origens do modelo de Escola Pública de Tempo Integral, a partir de uma abordagem histórica que compara dois modelos: o da Escola-parque e a proposta implantada em 2006, no Estado de São Paulo. Investiga a questão com base na Teoria das Representações Sociais de Moscovici com o intuito de desvelar as representações sociais de professores, para aprofundar a reflexão sobre a sua inserção e preparação para a atuação neste modelo de escola. Prioriza, também, uma discussão sobre uma divisão que se percebe no contexto da Escola Pública de Tempo Integral, que se refere a uma distinção entre a proposta de atividades desenvolvidas sobre as atividades do currículo normal (consideradas mais importantes) e as atividades de extensão do currículo oficinas (consideradas menos importantes), cujas diferenças são geradas pela ausência de preparação destes profissionais nos processos formativos do projeto.(AU)

Dry Run Creek Watershed Improvement Project 1248-023: Final Project Report: July 2013-December 2015, October 11, 2016

In 2010 a group of farmers in the Dry Run Creek watershed, an Iowa High Quality Water Resource, formed the Dry Run Creek Watershed Improvement Association to learn more about and implement solutions to remedy a bacteria impairment in their stream. Through a partnership with Luther College, Iowa DNR Watershed Monitoring and Assessment and Iowa State University Extension the farmers were able to conduct an assessment of their stream and watershed. The assessment showed multiple potential sources of bacteria, dependent on whether water samples were collected following rain events or during dry conditions. This project will allow watershed farmers to implement solutions to reduce bacteria delivery during both wet and dry weather. Funding will be targeted to feedlot runoff control improvements, cover crops and vegetative filters, manure management strategies and livestock stream access. The council intends to continue intensive water monitoring to determine whether the strategies are successful. Research shows the bacteria reduction in water bodies can be seen relatively quickly, within 1-2 years, compared to other types of impairments.
