A IMPORTÂNCIA DAS TICS E DA EDUCAÇÃO COMO PROCESSO COMUNICACIONAL DIALÓGICO NO ENSINO SUPERIOR: Um Estudo da Universidade Estadual de Mato Grosso do Sul

Esta tese teve por objetivo saber como o corpo docente da Universidade Estadual de Mato Grosso do Sul (UEMS) percebe, entende e reage ante a incorporação e utilização das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TICs) nos cursos de graduação dessa Instituição, considerando os novos processos comunicacionais dialógicos que elas podem proporcionar na sociedade atual. Metodologicamente, a tese é composta por pesquisa bibliográfica, buscando fundamentar as áreas da Educação e Comunicação, assim como a Educomunicação; pesquisa documental para contextualização do lócus da pesquisa e de uma pesquisa exploratória a partir da aplicação de um questionário online a 165 docentes da UEMS, que responderam voluntariamente. Verificou-se que os professores utilizam as TICs cotidianamente nas atividades pessoais e, em menor escala, nos ambientes profissionais. Os desafios estão em se formar melhor esse docente e oferecer capacitação continuada para que utilizem de forma mais eficaz as TICs nas salas de aula. Destaca-se ainda que os avanços em tecnologia e os novos ecossistemas comunicacionais construíram novas e outras realidades, tornando a aprendizagem um fator não linear, exigindo-se revisão nos projetos pedagógicos na educação superior para que estes viabilizem diálogos propositivos entre a comunicação e a educação. A infraestrutura institucional para as TICs é outro entrave apontado, tanto na aquisição como na manutenção desses aparatos tecnológicos pela Universidade. Ao final, propõe-se realizar estudos e pesquisas que possam discutir alterações nos regimes contratuais de trabalho dos docentes, uma vez que, para atuar com as TICs de maneira apropriada, exige-se mais tempo e dedicação do docente.

Produção do mestrado profissional em ensino de ciências naturais e matemática da UFRN (física e química/2005-2012): papel dos documentos oficiais e características dos produtos educacionais

The importance of the Professionals Master in the field of science education is revealed by the recognition that they provide, to practicing teachers, in particular, training spaces for reflection and application of knowledge. This work appears in the context of the project "Research and training in teaching science and mathematics: a cutout of academic production in the northeast and overview of formative action in basic education" on the Centre for Education program, which main objective was to conduct studies description, analysis and evaluation of the academic production of Postgraduate Programs in Science Teaching of UFRPE, UFRN and UEPB and investigate the contribution of continuing education in stricto sensu level, of graduated teachers to improve the quality of basic education . We sought to examine a cut of academic production PPGECNM / UFRN, taking as reference dissertations of Natural Sciences, finished between the years 2005 and 2012, which have developed and applied educational products for high school students. More specifically we sought to conduct a general characterization of the dissertations analyzed for basic descriptors, to understand if and how the official documents governing the Brazilian education, especially science education, subsidized development of dissertations and identify current trends for science teaching are addressed and which ones are used in preparing the product of dissertations. The survey was based on documentary analysis, a type of qualitative approach in which the documents are objects of study in themselves. The results revealed that most of the work was developed in public schools, on subjects of physics and chemistry. During analytical reading of the text of the dissertations was observed that, in its construction, most of them addressed somehow, official documents governing the Brazilian educational system, that the products are basically teaching units and teaching approaches that are more focused on Experimentation and History and Philosophy of Science

Um estudo sobre o ensino de evaporação no contexto ciência, tecnologia e sociedade

The scope of this Dissertation is propose the teaching of the evaporation based on the approach Science, Technology and Society (STS) because we believe that this type of approach is able to provide students with a more critical and conscious learning about science. Moreover, with this search, it´s possible to show for students the importance of role to play for them as citizens in decision making aimed to benefit all who are part of the community to which they belong. From this perspective, broached the theme evaporation in a region characterized by constant lack of water for consumption, the municipality of Santa Cruz/RN because, despite the creation of dams to regulate the flow of rivers and increase the availability of water during periods of scarcity, we know that these reservoirs have a large free liquid surface allowing high water loss by evaporation. Thus, evaporation affects the performance of reservoirs for water supply and irrigation, being a phenomenon of particular interest to study. To this end, a questionnaire in order to identify students' preconceptions on the subject was applied. Was then prepared and conducted a workshop geared toward students majoring in Physics Campus Santa Cruz, Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN). The completion of the workshop served as a space for discussion of the topic within the context of the municipality of Santa Cruz/RN. As a product, we suggest to physics teachers a guide with recommendations to be taken into account when they teach this subject

Formação docente e conhecimento profissional: desafios para o ensino da matemática na EJA

As for the Education for Youth and Adult (EYA), the challenge of training these teachers is to provide tools to understand and act on the teaching of mathematics. It is realized just how special education in this modality and as such teaching is lacking in an adequate and solid training in the area of knowledge. One of the major problems affecting this type of education is the high dropout and failure rates, and lack of motivation among students. Thus the need to provide differentiated profile with a professional to teach youth and adults students, so that they are able to mobilize didactic-pedagogic knowledge, methodologies and theoretical frameworks that serve as a basis for school-developed teaching practice. This thesis aims to investigate how the math teacher, who acts in adult education from elementary school, has developed its didactic and pedagogical action, and that professional knowledge has been mobilized to teach? It has highlighted the importance of initial and continuing training and professionalization of teachers dedicated to this specific type of education, when teachers should be the protagonists of their professional development. The methodological approach was begun with a literature review, then the research was anchored mainly on the ideas by Gauthier, Nuñez and Ramalho (2004); Imbernon (2011), Garcia (2006); Perrenoud (2000); Tardif (2007 ); Haddad, Di Pierro (2000), D'Ambrosio (2002), Mendes (2006, 2009), Freire (1996, 2011), and other theorists and official documents of field of adult education here and abroad. That work leads us to the understanding of the present moment from a foray into historical and conceptual aspects, as well as educational policies of EYA, as well as training, professionalism, knowledge and skills necessary for professional practice. Then, the subjects and the locus of research and the instrument for data collection were set up and led by the object of study. To consolidate the study was selected a sample of 27 mathematics teachers, working in municipal EYA Network Teaching of Natal. This research is in an investigative nature, within the quantitative and qualitative approaches focused on the responses of study subjects from the content analysis by Bardin (1977). Results from the analyzes have revealed that the initial training of mathematics teachers of adult education needs to be reconfigured in order to formalize the knowledge base of professionals (the mathematical content, didactics and professional knowledge). Thus the study suggests that this base knowledge is embedded in the pedagogical practice of these teachers, so that there is a completion of the teaching and learning process for young people and adults. The study also has pointed out that there is a need for teachers to participate in a continuing education plan that prioritizes learning situations of mathematical content considering the previous knowledge of the students. The final analyses thus indicate that knowledge of mathematics and the didactic and pedagogical strategies to be mobilized by teachers must be able to motivate the students in such a way that they feel need to incorporate in their knowledge, mathematical knowledge capable of making them more likely to have access to social, economic and labor market

Correspondências científicas como uma relação didática entre história e ensino de matemática: o exemplo das cartas de Euler a uma princesa da Alemanha

Lettres àune Princesse d'Allemagne sur divers sujets de physique et de philosophie (Letters to a Princess of Germany on various topics of physics and philosophy) is the work taken as an object of study of this thesis. It is a literary success written in the eighteenth century by the Swiss mathematician and physicist Leonhard Paul Euler (1707-1783) in order to meet a request from the Prussian king, Frederick II, the Great (1712-1786) to accept to guide the intellectual education of his niece, the young princess Anhalt-Dessau (1745-1808). The method of teaching and learning through letters elected to the education of the German monarch resulted in a collection of 234 matches in which Euler theory is about music, Philosophy, Mechanics, Optics, Astronomy, Theology and Ethics among others. The research seeks to point out mathematical content contained in this reference work based on the exploitation and adaptation of original historical works as an articulator of development activities for teaching mathematics in basic education and in accordance with the National Curriculum Parameters of Mathematics (NCP) work. The general objective point out the limits and didactic potential of Lettres à une Princesse d'Allemagne sur divers sujets de physique et de philosophie as a source of support for teachers of basic education in developing activities for teaching mathematics. The discussions raised point to concrete possibilities of entanglement between the extracted mathematical content of the bulge of the work with current teaching methodologies from resizing the use of letters according to Freire's pedagogical perspective of the correspondence, and especially the use of new communication channels in the century XXI, both aimed at dialogue and approximation between those who write and those who read.

Democratização do acesso ao ensino superior: os cursos de graduação à distância na UFRN

This thesis pursuits to contextualize the theoretical debate between the implementation of public education policy of the Federal Government focused in a distance learning and legal foundations for its enforcement, in order to raise questions and comments on the topic in question. Its importance is back to provide scientific input and can offer to the academy, particularly in the UFRN, and elements of society to question and rethink the complex relationship between the socio-economic and geographic access to higher education. It consists of a descriptive study on the institutionalization of distance education in UFRN as a mechanism for expanding access to higher education, for both, the research seeks to understand if the distance undergraduate courses offered by the UAB system and implemented at UFRN, promote expanding access to higher education, as it is during implementation that the rules, routines and social processes are converted from intentions to action. The discussion of this study lasted between two opposing views of Implementation models: Top-down and Bottom-up. It is worth noting that the documents PNE, PDE and programs and UAB MEETING reflect positively in improving the educational level of the population of the country It is a qualitative study, using the means Bibliographic, Document and Field Study, where they were performed 04 (four) in 2010 interviews with the management framework SEDIS / UAB in UFRN. The data were analyzed and addressed through techniques: Document Analysis and Content Analysis. The results show that the process of implementation of distance education at UFRN is in progress. According to our results, the research objective is achieved, but there was a need to rethink the conditions of the infrastructure of poles, the structure of the academic calendar, the management of the SEDIS UFRN, regarding the expansion of existing vacancies and the supply of new courses by the need for a redesign as the Secretariat's ability to hold the offerings of undergraduate courses offered by the Federal Government to be implemented in the institution. It was also found that levels of evasion still presents a challenge to the teaching model. Given the context, we concluded that the greatest contribution of UAB and consequently UFRN by distance learning for undergraduate courses (Bachelor in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geography and Biological Sciences, beyond the bachelor's degrees in Business and Public Administration ) is related to increasing the number of vacancies and accessibility of a population that was previously deprived of access to university

Avaliação de competências relacionadas com a literacia de informação: um estudo no contexto de pós-graduações em educação

A literatura da especialidade indica que os estudantes do Ensino Superior (ES) demonstram falta de competências de pesquisa, seleção e tratamento de informação científica com recurso às Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC), nomeadamente as ferramentas da Web 2.0. A maioria dos estudos sobre esta temática envolve estudantes de 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Superior, sendo poucos os que se baseiam em referenciais de avaliação destas competências. Visando obter subsídios práticos e teóricos sobre a avaliação dessas competências, ter conhecimento das competências nesta área que os estudantes do ES, em nível de pós-graduação, possuem, e das suas necessidades de formação neste domínio, desenvolveu-se um estudo que foi desenvolvido em três fases. Na primeira fase após a identificação do problema a ser estudado, a falta de competências relacionadas com a Literacia de Informação (LI) de estudantes de pós-graduação, foi realizada a revisão da literatura para a determinação dos conceitos basilares e a sustentação teórica das fases subsequentes, que prendem-se com as competências relacionadas com a LI e como estas têm sido avaliadas. A segunda fase ocupou-se da avaliação de estudantes dos 2.º e 3.º Ciclos do Departamento de Educação da Universidade de Aveiro (UA). Com base na revisão da literatura e em colaboração com os bibliotecários da UA foi definido o referencial de avaliação das competências que definem as dimensões de pesquisa, seleção e tratamento de informação científica, com recurso às TIC. A confiabilidade deste referencial (primeira questão de investigação) foi estabelecida a partir dos contributos de docentes/bibliotecários de Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES), de Portugal e do Brasil. Optou-se pela técnica de estatística descritiva e análise de conteúdo para o estudo das informações destes profissionais. Deste modo, esta investigação permitiu a construção de um referencial de avaliação das competências relacionadas com a LI, com recurso às TIC. O referencial é um fundamento para a construção de instrumentos de avaliação em razão de evidenciar as competências que os estudantes do ES devem possuir de pesquisa, seleção e tratamento de informação científica, com recurso às TIC. Assim, foi permitido, com base no referencial de avaliação e no instrumento de recolha de dados utilizado com os profissionais de IES, desenvolver um questionário que foi aplicado aos estudantes de pós-graduação do Departamento de Educação da UA. Pelas respostas, obteve-se o conhecimento da perceção que possuem a respeito das suas competências de pesquisa, seleção e tratamento de informação científica, com recurso às TIC, e das suas necessidades de formação neste domínio (segunda e terceira questões de avaliação). Para esta análise optou-se pela técnica de estatística descritiva. A terceira fase ocupou-se da escrita da tese, que foi desenvolvida ao longo de toda a investigação, sendo mais intensa nos últimos seis meses. Os resultados da avaliação indicam não só que a maior parte dos estudantes aponta saber utilizar ferramentas digitais mas também têm a perceção de possuir competências relacionadas com a LI, com recurso às TIC, a nível elevado e muito elevado. As repostas da avaliação foram confrontadas com a literatura consultada. De modo igual, indicam que os estudantes do ES superestimam suas competências nesta área, embora não apresentem ações eficazes que demonstrem dominar as competências que supõem ter, sendo um indicativo da necessidade de formação destes estudantes. Recomenda-se que a academia leve em conta o confronto diário com estas tecnologias, que permeiam o modo de aprendizagem de estudantes. Os intervenientes do ambiente académico devem trabalhar em colaboração contínua, para que a partir de ações bem planejadas se possam colmatar as lacunas apresentadas. Devem-se atender as necessidades de formação de estudantes de pós-graduação identificadas por meio de avaliações, com base num referencial. É decursiva, para trabalhos futuros, a necessidade de analisar a confiabilidade do questionário que foi aplicado aos estudantes dos 2.º e 3.º Ciclos do Departamento de Educação da UA e os resultados da sua aplicação, fazendo-o evoluir de acordo com o feedback da sua utilização e a evolução das TIC.
