Comparison of methods in oral health education from the perspective of adolescents.

To investigate whether teenagers' knowledge about oral health is influenced by educational methods and to verify the most effective method according to their perception. The study was performed in Araçatuba, São Paulo State, Brazil, with 127 teenagers from a vocational school. It was realised in 3 steps: 1. An evaluation of knowledge about oral health using a self-applied questionnaire. 2. An application of educational methods, where the students were divided into two groups (A and B). Group A participated in three educational activities that involved lectures, individual demonstration, and participatory activity. Group B was divided into three subgroups (B1, B2, B3) and each of them participated in only one of the methods. 3. The acquired knowledge was evaluated. Group A created a focus group to give their opinion about strategies. With regards to knowledge after the application of the different methods in all groups, there was a statistically significant difference concerning periodontitis, gingivitis and herpes. In group A, after the three activities, and in group B2 after the individual demonstration, an association was found between 'healthy teeth' and 'general health' (P = 0.004 and P = 0.022, respectively). After the individual demonstration, an association was shown between variables of acquired knowledge about 'harmful diet' and 'dental caries' (P = 0.002) as well as 'good diet' and 'prevention of oral diseases' (P = 0.032). The favourite method was individual demonstration, due to the contact with educational materials, followed by participatory activity because it encouraged learning in a more dynamic way. Educational methods influenced knowledge about oral health, with individual demonstration proving to be the most effective method for acquiring knowledge. In the adolescents' view, the participatory activity was the preferred method.

Condições de funcionamento de escolas do campo: em busca de indicadores de custo-aluno-qualidade

O estudo foi realizado em 2 (duas) escolas do campo do município de Bujaru pertencente à microrregião de Castanhal na mesorregião do Nordeste Paraense. Seu objetivo foi identificar e analisar as condições de funcionamento de escolas do campo, visando propor indicadores de custo-aluno-qualidade para esse tipo de escola. A seleção das escolas se orientou pelos seguintes critérios: distância da sede do município; quanto ao tamanho; classificação em unidocente ou pluridocentes; número de professores, número de alunos; níveis de ensino oferecidos e da região em que as mesmas estão inseridas. Para a obtenção das informações foram realizadas entrevistas com: diretores; professores; pais/representantes da comunidade; e alunos. Além das entrevistas, foram utilizados formulários e observação em lócus. Os eixos de análise tomaram como questões norteadoras: as condições de funcionamento das e os seus principais problemas e necessidades e o que dizem os sujeitos que trabalham e estudam nas/as escolas do campo sobre os indicadores necessários para uma educação do campo de qualidade? Após análise dos dados, concluímos que os problemas enfrentados por professores, alunos, pais e gestores que atuam nas escolas do campo estão relacionados principalmente: a atuação em classes multisseriadas; falta de mobiliário, equipamento e materiais didáticos; falta de transporte escolar; condições precárias de infra-estrutura e falta de pessoal docente. Quanto à questão dos indicadores de qualidade, os sujeitos apontaram os seguintes fatores como fundamentais para melhorar a qualidade do ensino nessas escolas: infra-estrutura adequada, (com mobiliários, bibliotecas, laboratórios, equipamentos e material didático); contração de pessoal (professores, serventes, merendeiras, vigias e secretária); qualificação e valorização do professor; transporte e merenda escolar. O trabalho apresenta um leque de questões que podem explicitar e compor as possíveis dimensões e indicadores de qualidade, mas que não são generalizáveis para um conjunto maior de escolas. Evidentemente, que há regularidades, similitudes e aspectos que são comuns e que devem ser considerados para escolas localizadas no campo. De modo geral verificou-se que a definição de um custo-aluno-qualidade na educação, sobretudo, na educação do campo, continua a ser um desafio, especialmente porque tal discussão traz à tona a complexidade, as tensões e as contradições do fenômeno educativo em um país marcado pela desigualdade.

Basquetebol X temas transversais: a produção de material didático audiovisual para a Educação Física escolar

This study aimed, first, produce a kind of educational materials in audiovisual format, to the Physical Education, addressing the Transversal Themes in view of the basketball. The themes chosen were Cultural Plurality, addressing the basketball in a wheelchair, and Labor and Consumer Affairs, addressing the marketing and exploitation of labor force that the company is Nike. There is no doubt the importance of media production in contemporary society, as one of its main languages, but of little relevance in the school environment, especially in the area of Physical Education. In a second phase aimed at evaluating the feasibility of this material both as a teaching strategy, such as content of learning lessons. The evaluation was made through a discussion in the form of focus groups with 10 students from 9 th grade of elementary school. The results showed that despite an initial rejection of the material as a teaching strategy because of the history that Physical Education has for several years, students were open to new ways of learning. Since the results on the material, such as learning content, showed that the videos were able to address and the Transversal Themes and meet the need for procedural content with the proposed activities. With this, we realize that students are willing to discuss matters that are not always addressed, but now, with the creation of national curriculum standards should be reflected in the classroom
