O Ensino e o Aprendizado da Escrita - novos olhares

A leitura, a escrita e a sua aquisição são pesquisadas em vários domínios do saber segundo perspectivas epistemológicas diversas; dessas pesquisas resulta intensa e diversificada produção de saberes. A alfabetização, como trabalho escolar, passa pelo embate entre práticas estabelecidas e novas propostas teóricas, sobretudo a construtivista. Isto não significa que as inovações teóricas sejam realmente aplicadas ou que as expectativas da sociedade quanto à educação escolar sejam atendidas. Para isso contribuem muitos fatores. A elaboração de uma visão do conjunto das diferentes contribuições teóricas e de suas implicações para a relação pedagógica pode ajudar a compreender o que acontece com o trabalho relativo à alfabetização do ponto de vista didático.Contribuir para o desenvolvimento desse processo constitui o objetivo deste trabalho. Para isso visitamos os diversos enfoques teóricos da leitura e da escrita, as relações entre oralidade e escrita, as abordagens pedagógicas, focalizamos as tendências atuais, sobretudo o construtivismo.

O Teatro Fórum como dispositivo de discussão da violência contra a mulher

This article presents the results of a study that made use of the Theatre of the Oppressed, in its Forum Theatre form, to promote discussions and reflections on violence against women. This was achieved through a sketch about the theme shown to a group of recyclable material collectors from two towns in the interior of the State of São Paulo. In the Forum Theatre the spectators become actors/actresses and, through the activity, help to find a solution for the enacted conflict. The results of the study suggest that the Theatre of the Oppressed can be used as an important methodological procedure for research. In the field of Psychology specifically, this theatrical tool emerges as an alternative device in order to work with participative studies involving diverse themes and issues of a community, producing ruptures in hegemonic practices and discourses.

Les Salles de Ressouces Multifonctionnelles: un recous pour les écoles inclusives au Brésil

In the 90s, the Brazilian Secretariat of the Special Education Department has expanded the democratization of education and pupils’ access to schooling, by redefi ning the operation of special education services. With this inclusion policy, the education system has been restructured. An important action, conducted during the period de 2005 to 2010, was to propose, deploy and implement Multifunctional Resources Rooms (Sala de recursos multifuncionais, or SRM), from two different types (type I and II). The challenge was to promote educational inclusion, in a program entitled Inclusive Education: the right to diversity. In a seek for new identity of teacher training and professional practice in special education, the great educational innovation is to better articulate the work of “ordinary“ and specialized teachers, via the SRM, and to develop collective and participatory actions between common spaces and support spaces. In this context, the school and the family represent an important source of partnership.

Contribuições de elementos do construtivismo e da mediação da informação para a inclusão digital de idosos

The life expectancy increase has been augmenting studies on human aging. Among these studies are those that address the interaction between the elderly and the information and communication technologies, which may facilitate the execution of daily activities by elderly people. Therefore, the goal of this article was to investigate the application of constructivist elements in computer courses offered to Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade – UNATI – UNESP – Campus of Marília, contributing to the digital inclusion of this community. The constructivist elements focused on the role of the teacher as a mediator in the teaching-learning process. It was found that most of these elements are already being applied in this universe, but some changes need to be undertaken in order to expand the opportunities for education and to allow students to have more autonomy for information seeking and use in the web environment.

O professor na visão das crianças: uma pesquisa sobre a construção do conhecimento social sob o enfoque piagetiano

The focus of this paper is on the construction of social knowledge according to Piagetian constructivist theory. We present data related to the ideas of children aged seven and eight years old about the role of the teacher. We observed 52 children, both male and female, immersed in two different educative environments: one considered socio-moral constructivist and the other one, traditional. The main results showed the particular processes of the individuals when they try to comprehend the surrounding reality. The only meaningful difference between the two environments studied was related to the comprehension of the necessity of formation to develop the function of a teacher. In the other aspects observed we have not found meaningful differences concerning the representations of the subjects as well as the environment in which they participated.

Relaciones entre tendencias de juicio moral, estilos de resolución de conflictos y percepción de la manifestación de la agresividad en niños y adolescentes

The moral judgment was approached upon a constructivist perspective which focuses on its evolution according to the different types of social relations. The several forms of resolution of conflicts are also considered in this reference, since they are related to situations of interaction, as well as the aggressiveness. The research was carried out with sixty children and teenagers from a socio-educational institution. It aimed to identify the variations according to age, and relate the trends in moral judgment, the styles of resolution of conflicts, and the perception of the educators regarding to the manifestation of aggressive behaviors. The instruments for collecting data were the Scale of Perception from Teachers for children that manifested Aggressive Behaviors in School, a Clinical Interview about moral judgment and the adaptation of the Children\'s Action Tendency Scale - CATS. The results showed that variations in relation to age were significant regarding to moral judgment. The younger children showed more heteronomous judgments and the older children more autonomous. Furthermore, the data evidenced a positive relationship between semiautonomia and aggressiveness, which raises the possibility of this being regarded as one of the unique strategies to take a position within an authoritarian and coercive environment.

Proposta construtivista em questão: analise da experiencia brasileira no ensino da leitura e escrita

Years after the constructivism theory was adopted by “Parameters for National Syllabuses”, the results have pointed to a worse performance in teaching and learning with regards to reading and writing. This article presents the conclusions proceeding from investigation about the probable reasons for the student’s lack of success in reading and writing, and its relation to Emília Ferreiro’s constructivism proposals. Interviews were made as well as sit in class observation were done, with twenty teachers at six Fundamental Level 1 schools in Ourinhos, SP State, in schools that had been awarded the best and the worst performance rating in the Prova Brasil-2005, with this objective: to know and analyze the teacher’s conceptions under their practices and their practices in the classes. The conclusion is: it is not possible to attribute the students’ lack of success in reading and writing; these studies showed that many teachers, most of them, have a non-constructivist concept of teaching and learning, it means that they do not apply Ferreiro’s researches.

Pureza nagô, (re)africanização, dessincretização

These terms stand for tendencies in the candomblé world which occurred as a consequence of intentionally introduced alterations of “tradition”. This article discusses four important interpretations of this phenomenon and tries to identify convergences and divergences between them: the constructivist approach of Beatriz Góis Dantas renewed the academic discussion in the 1980ies insofar as she related, amongst others, authenticity to the struggle for recognition and against discrimination; Lorand Matory should critize Dantas from a Black Atlantic perspective and pleads for the inclusion of transnational black agency in the analysis of the construction of nago purity. Alejandro Frigerio emphasizes in his studies of (re)africanization and antisyncretism, the aspect of individual conversion processes, while Reginaldo Prandi examines the recent transformations in the context of an analysis of the religious market. Searching for a multifaceted comprehension of the phenomenon, the article concludes by proposing the elaboration of a plural analytic perspective capable of integrating the merits of each of the four approaches.
