At 6.4%, the unemployment rate for the Latin American and Caribbean region overall was the lowest for the past few decades, down from 6.7% in 2011. This is significant, in view of the difficult employment situation prevailing in other world regions. Labour market indicators improved despite modest growth of just 3.0% in the region’s economy. Even with sharply rising labour market participation, the number of urban unemployed fell by around 400,000, on the back of relatively strong job creation. Nevertheless, around 15 million are still jobless in the region. Other highlights of 2012 labour market performance were that the gender gaps in labour market participation, unemployment and employment narrowed, albeit slightly; formal employment increased; the hourly underemployment rate declined; and average wages rose. This rendering was obviously not homogenous across the region. Labour market indicators worsened again in the Caribbean countries, for example, reflecting the sluggish performance of their economies. The sustainability of recent labour market progress is also a cause for concern. Most of the new jobs in the region were created as part of a self-perpetuating cycle in which new jobs and higher real wages (and greater access to credit) have boosted household purchasing power and so pushed up domestic demand. Much of this demand is for non-tradable goods and services (and imports), which has stimulated expansion of the tertiary sector and hence its demand for labour, and many of the new jobs have therefore arisen in these sectors of the economy. This dynamic certainly has positive implications in terms of labour and distribution, but the concern is whether it is sustainable in a context of still relatively low investment (even after some recent gains) which is, moreover, not structured in a manner conducive to diversifying production. Doubt hangs over the future growth of production capacity in the region, given the enormous challenges facing the region in terms of innovation, education quality, infrastructure and productivity. As vigorous job creation has driven progress in reducing unemployment, attention has turned once again to the characteristics of that employment. Awareness exists in the region that economic growth is essential, but not in itself sufficient to generate more and better jobs. For some time, ILO has been drawing attention to the fact that it is not enough to create any sort of employment. The concept of decent work, as proposed by ILO, emphasized the need for quality jobs which enshrine respect for fundamental rights at work. The United Nations General Assembly endorsed this notion and incorporated it into the targets set in the framework of the Millennium Development Goals. This eighth issue of the ECLAC/ILO publication “The employment situation in Latin America and the Caribbean” examines how the concept of decent work has evolved in the region, progress in measuring it and the challenges involved in building a system of decent work indicators, 14 years after the concept was first proposed. Although the concept of decent work has been accompanied since the outset by the challenge of measurement, its first objective was to generate a discussion on the best achievable labour practices in each country. Accordingly, rather than defining a universal threshold of what could be considered decent work —regarding which developed countries might have almost reached the target before starting, while poor countries could be left hopelessly behind— ILO called upon the countries to define their own criteria and measurements for promoting decent work policies. As a result, there is no shared set of variables for measuring decent work applicable to all countries. The suggestion is, instead, that countries move forward with measuring decent work on the basis of their own priorities, using the information they have available now and in the future. However, this strategy of progressing according to the data available in each country tends to complicate statistical comparison between them. So, once the countries have developed their respective systems of decent work indicators, it will be also be important to work towards harmonizing them. ECLAC and ILO are available to provide technical support to this end. With respect to 2013, there is cautious optimism regarding the performance of the region’s labour markets. If projections of a slight uptick —to 3.5%— in the region’s economic growth in 2013 are borne out, labour indicators should continue to gradually improve. This will bring new increases in real wages and a slight drop of up to 0.2 percentage points in the region’s unemployment rate, reflecting a fresh rise in the regional employment rate and slower growth in labour market participation.

Compreendendo que é essencial aos professores à reflexão sobre a própria prática como estratégia de desenvolvimento profissional, este trabalho investigou as concepções de quatro professoras das séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental da Escola de Aplicação da Universidade Federal do Pará acerca do ensino e da aprendizagem de Ciências Naturais, bem como a importância que atribuem ao estudo da disciplina nesta etapa da escolarização. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa. Visou aproximar ao máximo da realidade e, ao mesmo tempo, dar voz aos sujeitos, entendendo as subjetividades como elementos essenciais à reflexão das práticas educativas. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas e questionário de explicitação, complementar às entrevistas, tratando questões relativas à História de Vida, Escolha e Identidade Profissional e Concepções e Práticas no ensino de Ciências Naturais. Na análise dos dados, foram utilizados referenciais teóricos que subsidiassem a interpretação dos dados e atendessem ao aos objetivos da pesquisa. Foram sistematizados estudos e reflexões sobre: a evolução do conhecimento científico; a história do ensino de Ciências no Brasil; as reformas educacionais e o ensino de Ciências e os modelos didáticos e o ensino de Ciências. O estudo sobre modelos didático é uma produção do Grupo de Pesquisa Investigação e Renovação Escolar, da Espanha, que emprega o conceito de modelo didático na análise do ensino e da formação de professores. Da prática das professoras, foram identificados os modelos didáticos presentes em seus processos de formação docentes, bem como os subjacentes às concepções e práticas no ensino de Ciências nas séries iniciais. Os resultados apontam que, no processo de escolarização e formação profissional, as professoras foram submetidas aos modelos de ensino tradicional e técnico e elas questionam a própria formação acadêmica, em relação às competências necessárias para o exercício da profissão, embora avaliem que tal situação pode ser superada pela formação continuada. Com relação aos modelos didáticos presentes nas concepções e práticas das professoras de Ciências, concluiu-se que não existe um modelo predominante. Dos relatos das professoras, percebeu-se um conjunto de idéias e ações que se aproximam ora de um modelo didático ora de outro, evidenciando que não há um perfil único, que caracterize apenas um modelo didático, mas coexistem concepções relacionadas aos quatro modelos, delineando um modelo de ensino eclético. O que sugere uma transição das concepções das professores sobre a educação e sobre ensino de Ciências. Isso pode caracterizar um processo de desenvolvimento profissional, já que as professoras, apesar das dificuldades para o exercício da docência em Ciências, se mostraram acessíveis às mudanças e inovações.

The American author Jack London wrote the books The Sea-Wolf and White Fang in 1904 and 1906, respectively. The former portrays the life of a literary critic, Humphrey Van Weyden, who after the wreckage of the ship in which he was is rescued by a seal-hunting schooner, where he is obliged to work and to live with the brutal captain Wolf Larsen, and in doing so he develops a more primitive profile. The latter work portrays the life of the eponymous character, a wolf that leaves the wild world in which it was born to follow its last master in the city, thus developing features of the modern world. This paper aims to conduct an analysis of the aspects that allow the transition between the primitive and the modern world in those works
