Projeto pedagógico: abordagens e implicações no âmbito da formação em odontologia

Proposals that aim a redirection of current health attention models in Brazil are indispensible due to the need of health issues and its challenges imposed by society. These issues come forth in Higher Education Institutions in an attempt to devise ways to face these demands. The research aims to analyze the Pedagogical Project (PP) present in the Dentistry Graduation Course in the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil-(UFRN). This is done in coherence the Brazilian National Curricular Guidelines considering main competences established in the PP. This research was approved by the Ethics Committee at UFRN under document number 285/201. The work is of descriptive nature and was realized with 30 students in the Dentistry Graduation Course. Interviews were realized with the use of problem situation approach. The research was also supported by documental studies that dealt with syllabus present in the disciplines taught at UFRN. Data were processed with the use of the ALCESTE 4.9 software. It is possible to acknowledge that some conservative conceptions arise, even though there is use of active methodologies and innovation that aim to promote reflection and articulation for general competence development such as proposed in the Pedagogical Project in Dentistry Graduation Course at UFRN. These conceptions are mainly present in the teaching-learning process where students do not have full participation. Thus it is possible to conclude that even though there are advances and breakthroughs. This is seen with that fact that there was inclusion of multidisciplinary clinical work as well optional courses in the curriculum. It was also seen that there was occasional use of active teaching methodologies in Dentistry at UFRN. But there is still a need for a didactical and methodological resizing. These actions require the need for progressive development of competences and abilities during the formative process according to what was established in the Brazilian National Curricular Guidelines

Grupos de Conversa: saúde da pessoa idosa na estratégia saúde da família

A Política Nacional de Saúde da Pessoa Idosa aponta a importância de: divulgação dos direitos da pessoa idosa; promoção do envelhecimento ativo e saudável; formação permanente dos profissionais de saúde e apoio ao desenvolvimento de estudos e pesquisas. São relatados resultados parciais do desenvolvimento de uma experiência de extensão universitária realizada em parceria e com a colaboração da rede de atenção básica. Dentre as atividades realizadas, objetivou-se desenvolver um processo grupal de promoção à saúde com pessoas idosas, tendo em vista o envelhecimento ativo e a qualidade de vida dessa população. Observou-se que as atividades em grupo consistiram em um espaço privilegiado para a constituição de redes de apoio, estabelecimento e ampliação de vínculos afetivos; reflexão e conscientização das determinações do processo saúde-doença; organização e mobilização para o efetivo controle social; além de ser um espaço de ensino-aprendizagem, orientação, intervenção e educação em saúde.

Relational learning in children with deafness and cochlear implants

This four-experiment series sought to evaluate the potential of children with neurosensory deafness and cochlear implants to exhibit auditory-visual and visual-visual stimulus equivalence relations within a matching-to-sample format. Twelve children who became deaf prior to acquiring language (prelingual) and four who became deaf afterwards (postlingual) were studied. All children learned auditory-visual conditional discriminations and nearly all showed emergent equivalence relations. Naming tests, conducted with a subset of the: children, showed no consistent relationship to the equivalence-test outcomes.. This study makes several contributions: to the literature on stimulus equivalence. First; it demonstrates that both pre- and postlingually deaf children-can: acquire auditory-visual equivalence-relations after cochlear implantation, thus demonstrating symbolic functioning. Second, it directs attention to a population that may be especially interesting for researchers seeking to analyze the relationship. between speaker and listener repertoires. Third, it demonstrates the feasibility of conducting experimental studies of stimulus control processes within the limitations of a hospital, which these children must visit routinely for the maintenance of their cochlear implants.

Educação matemática: uma investigação sobre teoria e prática no ensino regular e médio profissionalizante do CEFET- Pará

Este estudo, realizado com professores engenheiros e alunos do curso Técnico em Mecânica do CEFET – Pará traz em seu bojo uma discussão muito extensa em relação à aprendizagem e à aplicação da Matemática, no curso profissionalizante. Inicio meus estudos a partir de quatro problemáticas muito presentes no processo de ensino e aprendizagem voltadas para as relações dos alunos com a educação matemática e suas aplicações práticas, no curso de Mecânica. Assim meus objetivos principais são: analisar os procedimentos didáticos na relação do processo de construção da prática pedagógica de professores de Matemática e professores engenheiros que lecionam no curso de Mecânica do CEFET-PA e compreender algumas barreiras que existem entre teoria e prática, no ensino da Matemática. Objetivo também estudar um pouco dos saberes docentes dos professores engenheiros e a relação que eles estabelecem entre saberes didáticos e saberes técnicos profissionais específicos. Os dados apontam queixas dos alunos sobre as aulas de Matemática nas duas formas de ensino, o que tem originado um sistema de obstáculos e erros no processo de ensino-aprendizagem desta disciplina, tanto no ensino fundamental, quanto no médio profissionalizante. Três foram os objetos de análise: os caminhos e percalços vividos pelos alunos, o que deu subsídios para compreensão da atuação didática dos docentes do curso de Mecânica e a relação entre o saber pedagógico, o saber de formação profissional e a prática docente dos professores engenheiros. É perceptível nas análises que, durante sua formação acadêmica, o engenheiro desenvolve aprendizagens específicas na sua natureza profissional e, após o ingresso na docência, ele tende a manter esta aprendizagem, só que agora de uma forma mais especifica e objetiva. Parece que a questão da identidade docente não é objeto central para os professores engenheiros; no entanto, ao final entende-se que a prática docente deveria ser tratada com mais atenção por estes professores. Encerro este trabalho investigando como os professores técnicos concebem a formação continuada em educação, sugerindo um relacionamento mais amplo desses, com a didática da Matemática, a partir de uma preocupação maior em torno de uma reflexão ativa na busca de formação continuada em educação Matemática. Desta forma, haverá uma ampla conciliação de saberes de conteúdo, didáticos e estratégicos.

Influence of agrochemicals fipronil and imidacloprid on the learning behavior of Apis mellifera L. honeybees

Agrochemicals on crop cultivated areas is a source of contamination for bees and may cause physiological and behavioral disorders and mortality. The LD50 of the pesticides fipronil and imidacloprid was determined and their effect on the learning behavior of Apis mellifera L. honeybee evaluated. LD50 was determined by the ingestion of contaminated food with different concentrations of insecticide concentrations: Fipronil (0, 0.8, 0.4, 0.2, 0.1 and 0.05 µg bee-1) and imidacloprid (0, 0.4, 0.2, 0.1, 0.05 and 0.025 µg bee-1). The method of proboscis extension reflection (PER) and learning through citral odor evaluated their responses to food stimulation. LD50 obtained were 0.28 ± 0.11 and 0.10 ± 0.04 µg bee-1 for fipronil and imidacloprid, respectively. The PER test showed no significant difference (p < 0.05) although agrochemicals affected the learning of bees. Insecticides fipronil and imidacloprid are extremely harmful to foraging Africanized Apis mellifera bees.

Ensino Fundamental de nove anos: articulações necessárias com a Educação Infantil

This article leads to reflect on the analysis of contexts of early Childhood Education and Elementary School concerning the space for playtime in the educational routine with groups of children between five and six years old. There was a reflection on official documents about the extension of Elementary School and the presuppositions from the Cultural- -Historical Theory. Actions related to bibliographical research, questionnaire application, photographic and written documentation of playful practices observation, collective meetings with teachers and construction of a toy library have been taken. Specifically on the studied aspect, the make-believe play is the main child activity and may be considered as a mediator from the learning and from the humanization possibilities until about six years old. With this understanding, this issue deserves attention from the government (expressed in public policies), from the teachers and from the school staff in order to offer better conditions of success on the full formation during childhood.

The Acting in Group of Teachers as Possibility of Resignification of the Interpretation about the Writing Language

Front of the possibility of acting with the teachers who teach in schools of Early Childhood Education for children aged six years, about the re-siginification of the understanding of writing language and of the importance of the child in this age group establish a positive relationship with this mode of language, was developed in 2011, a project linked to the Teaching of UNESP titled “Depathologization learning of the writing and inclusive education: reflections and actions of the teacher of Early Childhood Education”. This project aims to identification of the actions, in the classroom, of the patologization and subsequent implementation of actions depathologization writing by teachers’ actions, considering the increasingly early systematization of formal education of this kind of language in kindergarten. To this end, procedures that characterize the collaborative methodology are adopted. Throughout the methodological course, the engagement of the teachers, of the coordination and of the direction was valued, which seemed to favor both the formation, as the maintenance of the group, were very important aspects to ensure the interaction between its members and the common interest in the reflection about the topic in question. This paper focuses attention on whether thematic axes highlight during the initial survey of the expectations of teachers subsequently addressed in theoretical and reflective meetings leading up to identification of actions the patologization and/or of the proposition of the actions despatologizadoras of the learning of the writing, and in what refers to the way they are addressed.

A concepção de criança e alei de nove anos

The historical analysis of the conception of child is essential to understand the speeches, public policies and actions that are set aside for them. The 20th century ´ social-economic changes and the consequent need for women's work produced a restructuring not only in the family, but also in the care and attention focused on childhood. The present article under the perspective of Cultural-historical approach aims to make a reflection about the conception of child in the educational context, especially in the face of recent public policies that favor education´s advance in state schools. Besides, they also intend to point out some consequences and possible problems that may arise with their implementation and discuss the implications for the teacher´s organization of methodological practice and the relationship between development and learning.
