Memórias de saberes construídos no processo de se constituir professor em Vila Que Era (Bragança-Pará)

Este estudo apresenta registro e reflexões sobre a trajetória de formação docente de um professor do campo aposentado que atuou na década de 80 e 90 na Localidade de Vila Que Era, próximo ao Município de Bragança, nordeste do Estado do Pará, Brasil. Como fonte para recontar e relembrar parte de sua trajetória docente foi necessário rememorar as histórias de vida do sujeito em questão, sendo a memória um elemento revitalizador de lembranças. Para esse estudo foi preciso percorrer pela trajetória da Educação do Campo no Brasil, na perspectiva de visualizar se as políticas públicas que foram desenvolvidas atendem as necessidades desse segmento e de que maneira essas políticas contemplaram a formação continuada de professores no Brasil. Como objetivo geral, analisei como se deu a trajetória de formação docente de um professor do campo aposentado para conhecer saberes presentes nas suas práticas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e para obtenção dos dados foi realizado trabalho de campo com entrevistas parcialmente estruturadas, com observação participante, para analisar através de narrativas do entrevistado que, ao relembrar as histórias de vida sua e da localidade, indicam o processo de constituir professor e traçar um perfil identitário do mesmo, levando em consideração a importância que esta localidade representa para seus moradores, haja vista que a mesma possui 400 anos de existência, e carrega consigo, uma enorme história de tradição religiosa e cultural. Para suporte teórico dialogamos com alguns teóricos que discutem sobre identidade, formação de professores, memórias, educação do campo como Almeida (2007), Brandão (1988), Boaventura (2004), Bosi (2004), Caldart, Josso (2004), Soares (2002), Freire (2005), Hall (2006) Chauí (2007) entre outros. Por fim, conclui que ao longo de sua trajetória docente o professor utilizou o ambiente, a cultura local, a tradição, os saberes prévios dos alunos como eixos norteadores na construção da sua prática educativa. Outra realidade constatada neste trabalho, foi a respeito da ausência de políticas públicas para atender as necessidades das escolas do campo e também a falta de formação de professores como prioridade para suprir as demandas do campo e oportunizar melhorias na educação de crianças, jovens e adultos.

A fraternidade e a educação para a paz: possibilidades pedagógicas

Na preocupação com o processo de formação profissional o olhar deste estudo em questão voltou-se para o processo de formação continuada, em especial um curso de extensão denominado “Escola de Educadores” que tem como temática a compreensão da fraternidade e da educação para paz como possibilidades pedagógicas. Sendo assim, o objetivo da pesquisa foi esclarecer a proposta do curso e averiguar a produção de material dos participantes e a relação com a temática em questão. Trata-se de um estudo que tem na abordagem de análise qualitativa o seu ponto de referência, privilegiando o estudo exploratório. Como resultado aponta-se que o curso possui uma estrutura coerente com seus objetivos e apresenta ações pedagógicas planejadas e sistematizadas, de caráter teórico e/ou prático que não são inseridas na estrutura curricular dos cursos regulares de graduação ou pós e possibilitam o “repensar pedagógico” do professor. Sobre a produção de material, notou-se a incorporação das temáticas trabalhadas pelo curso na leitura dos trabalhos de conclusão e iniciativas inovadoras nos estágios. Em caráter de conclusão entende-se que o curso de extensão, apresenta-se como uma oportunidade de formação, mas também um universo de novas experiências e desafios.

Influência de procedimentos educativos sobre os conceitos de berçários

The duality care-education is an aspect to be considered in the routine of childhood education institutions that have a nursery. The concepts of professionals who work in the nursery interfere with the developed practice, and require great concern regarding the continuing education. The objective of this study was to verify the effects of educational procedures on the concepts related to functions and benefi ts of the nursery for the child – from the professionals who work in a childhood education institution. These professionals were teachers and development assistants from municipal nurseries of Marília, interviewed four times – initially, after each of the two rearing procedures, and six months after the procedures. These procedures consisted of educational workshops, once a week, for one month, and 15 hours of supervised practices in the nursery. Both practices focused on the activities and their benefi ts to the child’s development. We found that the educators’ knowledge comes from common sense, and that educational workshops provided changes on their information levels, which were strengthened by supervised practice. The analysis indicates that the initial and continuing education of professionals need to consider specifi c aspects of child development, so more adequate concepts are built.

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.

Mapeamento da situação educacional dos alunos surdos de munícipios brasileiros atendidos pelo curso de língua brasileira de sinais na modalidade à distância

Recent years have seen a movement toward school inclusion of children with special educational needs. In Brazil, there is the formulation of laws guaranteeing rights for disabled people, giving you free access to regular classroom complemented by specialized educational services. In the case of students with deafness, the Federal Decree No. 5626 of 2005, recommends that schools offer the Brazilian sign language as language support, and should take into classrooms, an interpreter. In this study we conducted a mapping of the educational situation of students with hearing loss of 35 municipalities. There was a mode of education in which deaf students are enrolled, and also the municipalities have organized the specialized educational services for such students. Data were collected through interviews with managers of 35 municipalities. The results showed that the vast majority of municipalities participating in the study opted for the enrollment of deaf students in regular class. Only a few municipalities managers reported the existence of classes and enrollment in special schools or even the existence of deaf students out of schools. It also found that all municipalities have organized the specialized educational services, like additional offering in the resource rooms. We conclude that despite the existing difficulties, the Brazilian municipalities are gradually adjusting to the prospect of inclusive education. Continuing education courses should be offered in order to prepare more teachers to work with diversity.

Avaliação do instrumento de adaptações curriculares na organização de ações educacionais inclusivas

An investigation, with the objective of revising the use of a document of individual curricular adaptations, didactic and methodological resource, proposed in order to favor the academic development of students who have special educational needs attending the regular school, has tried to find out how the teachers from a common classroom evaluate their didacticpedagogical actions planned in the referred document, in two big areas of knowledge – Portuguese and Mathematics. Thirty-eight teachers from the first to the fourth grades of the fundamental school have participated in this study as well as twelve specialized ones who taught fifty-four students with a background of strong difficulties in learning and/or suspicion of deficiency, in a municipal school chain in the west of the State of São Paulo. It was possible to identify important aspects in the pedagogical behavior with these students by showing that the use of curricular adequacies can be understood as the promoter of the inclusive education, stimulating the educational progression of this group of students in the common school.

Atendimento Educacional Especializado: análise do índice de evasão de professores em curso de pós-graduação, na modalidade a distância

This research aims to investigate the possible causes for the dropout of participants under instruction in distance courses. Data gathered from the Specialization Course in Specialized Educational Support Services - SES, sponsored by the Department for Continuing Education, Literacy and Diversity of the Ministry of Education - SECAD / MEC - and the Open University of Brazil – OUB, will be analyzed. The objective of the course is to graduate teachers who work in classrooms equipped with multifunctional resources in regular schools to give specialized educational support for students with special educational needs marked by disabilities, global development disorders and high abilities/highly gifted students. In order to analyze dropout data in the first semester of the ongoing course, a sample of 1349 participants enrolled in the distance course was considered; 216 of these had their enrollment cancelled on request or because they stopped accessing the Virtual Learning Environment - VLE / Teleduc Platform showing no interest in the course. However, the information below aims to present and discuss only the tabulated data of the 98 participants who requested to have their enrollment officially cancelled by submitting the online dropout term. The findings showed the main reasons for dropping out were personal problems, lack of time to commit to an ongoing distance course, difficulty using ICT and the tools available in the VLE. The research also highlighted the importance of developing digital inclusion initiatives as well as on-site supporting poles as a way to soften the barriers of technological accessibility and the dropout rate in this kind of courses.

Ciranda pedagógica: o ensino de Ciências e as atividades práticas nas séries iniciais do ensino fundamental : a elaboração de uma proposta

O objetivo deste projeto foi identificar as necessidades referentes às atividades práticas/experimentais no ensino de Ciências nas séries iniciais do ensino fundamental e realizar oficinas de formação continuada aos professores para suprir essas necessidades. Para isso, elaborou-se um questionário que foi aplicado a 129 professores das séries iniciais em 10 escolas municipais de Botucatu, com perguntas sobre dados gerais e atitude sobre o Ensino de Ciências/atividades experimentais. Os resultados mostraram que 69,77% dos professores não sabem o que é o letramento científico; os conteúdos mais desenvolvidos são: Corpo Humano (12,62%), Animais (11,07%), Água (10,68%), Plantas (10,10%), Meio ambiente (9,9%) e Higiene (9,32%). As maiores dificuldades para desenvolver o conteúdo foram: falta de material (28,32%), não saber elaborar/desenvolver atividades práticas (22,12%), falta de local (11,50%), falta de tempo (7,96%) e falta de conhecimentos do professor (9,73%). Sobre a freqüência de práticas, 58,06% utilizam ―às vezes‖. As maiores dificuldades para o uso de práticas são: falta de material (28,42%), falta de local (26,32%) e falta de conhecimento do professor (9,47%). As práticas utilizadas com maior freqüência são recursos – vídeos, textos – (29,41%), temas (19,12%) e atividades de campo (12,50%). Nota-se que faltam cursos de atualização e de conhecimentos básicos sobre ciências aos professores, que realizam poucas práticas com seus alunos e afirmam ter falta de conhecimento sobre ciências. Os dados serviram de referência para a elaboração de uma proposta de oficinas para professores, enfatizando-se a importância do ensino de ciências e das atividades práticas. Foi, ainda, elaborada uma apostila para os professores, que podem ser realizadas em sala de aula, com materiais de fácil acesso.

Experimentação e educação ambiental: contribuições metodológicas

During the last centuries, the human being have been considered the center of the universe. The man believed that nature was at his disposal. Appropriated their processes, their cycles changed, redefined their spaces. Today, when faced with an environmental crisis which threatens the planet life, including the human life, the Science Education can contribute to a reconstruction of man-nature relationship in other terms. The transformation of teaching practices in the school environment, to be reflective, it is still a process that challenges the vast majority of teachers. As has been indicated by Guerra (2004), among others, the traditional teaching of content delivery is still very strong and certainly more deeply embedded in ideas and activities of the teachers who focus on environmental education. With it, a theory and pedagogical discourses in critical-reflexive actions is still a major obstacle. Therefore, new proposals for education and continuing education activities need to be formulated and presented based on the characteristics and needs breathing. Therefore propose changes in the way of teaching, where there is more room for a theory and praxis alone or with a only scientific truth. The scenery of society requires that knowledge is constructed to interconnect all disciplines, joining theory and practice so we can understand the whole and their relations in an integrated manner. It was proposed here a way to build a school and applying theoretical and practical activities involving experimental and seeking to meet the principles of Environmental Education for the training of citizens aware and critical. At the same time cares to use textbooks very rich in its pedagogical character that are present in schools and often are, forgotten and unused by teachers. From this way, I chose to Experimentoteca, ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)
