A aula de língua inglesa em uma escola pública de ensino médio : o retrato de um desserviço

O objetivo desta dissertação é investigar, descrever e interpretar como acontece o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de língua estrangeira (inglês) em escola pública de ensino médio que agrupa alunos de diferentes de níveis de conhecimento sistêmico, advindos do ensino fundamental, em uma mesma turma. O estudo é de cunho etnográfico, e segue uma abordagem qualitativa interpretativa, realizado com um grupo de alunos de 1ª série de uma escola pública de ensino médio. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada entre o período de abril a setembro de 2001 guiada pelos questionamentos básicos dessa forma de pesquisa: a) o que está acontecendo aqui? e b) como? Para obter subsídios para análise posterior e, conseqüentemente, respostas às questões norteadoras do trabalho, o estudo incorporou como suporte, momentos e procedimentos de microetnografia (ERICKSON, 1986, 1990) ou microanálise sociolingüística (GUMPERZ, 1982), fundamentando-se na importância da Sociolingüística Interacional como elemento enriquecedor e ampliador para modelar a relação professora / alunos e para compreender o discurso em sala de aula. Teoricamente, este trabalho de pesquisa partiu de fundamentações de pensadores e educadores como Vygotsky e Paulo Freire, entre outros, tendo como pano de fundo, teorias e metodologias de ensino de língua estrangeira como um todo e, especificamente, centradas no cenário educacional brasileiro. Igualmente, estudos sobre ensino formal e postulações de lingüístas como Lightbown e Spada (1995), Ellis (1993,1996), Nunan (1998), Richards e Lockhart (1994) e Thomas (1999). Pela análise dos dados, foi possível articular uma compreensão sobre a abordagem usada na sala de aula foco deste estudo, a qual pode ser entendida como Tradicional, fortalecendo a metodologia de Tradução e Gramática, em uma relação assimétrica entre professora e alunos, sem co-participação social, desconsiderando, pois, a intersubjetividade nas atividades e impedindo, assim, a negociação de significados, pelo discurso dialógico, bem como dificultando a construção do conhecimento em LI. Nessas condições, a definição do processo de ensino é a de educação bancária, caracterizada por Paulo Freire como educação de transmissão, de dominação e de cunho autoritário, diluído em um discurso monológico que resulta na desmotivação, no desinteresse dos alunos e na realização de outras atividades durante as aulas. Essas constatações, respaldadas pelos atores do cenário social investigado, através da triangulação de dados, permitem descrever a prática educativa como de não atendimento oportuno, pertinente ao nível dos alunos e não incidente na zona de desenvolvimento proximal, pontuada por Vygotsky, para um bom ensino. Pôde-se, no entanto, descrever atividades grupais êmicas não previstas no processo de ensino e de aprendizagem. Este estudo e seus resultados possibilita olhares mais cuidadosos para a instrução formal em sala de aula e estudos mais atentos para a prática docente nessas circunstâncias, em especial, para formação de professores de língua estrangeira.

O imaginário docente na perspectiva da inclusão de alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais no ensino superior : um percurso de significados e ressignificações

Este é um estudo sobre o imaginário social dos docentes do ensino superior em relação aos estudantes com necessidades educacionais especiais. Apresenta-se como problema de pesquisa: quais discursos vêm influenciando o imaginário social dos docentes e suas implicações nas práticas pedagógicas. A finalidade dessa investigação é pesquisar o docente como um ser social inserido em um contexto histórico, seu imaginário e as conexões estabelecidas nas práticas pedagógicas, os processos de ressignificação e possíveis rupturas acerca dos alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais no ensino superior. Para compor o referencial teórico, os principais autores utilizados foram Beyer, Carvalho, Glat, Moita, Nóvoa, Oliveira, Tardif e Vygotski, entre outros. E, para os pressupostos teóricos acerca do imaginário social, apoio-me em Cornélius Castoriadis, cujo conceito central é o imaginário como uma produção subjetiva. O imaginário é, portanto, socialhistórico e psíquico. A investigação é de cunho qualitativo, evidenciado através das entrevistas semi-estruturadas e nas histórias de vida utilizadas no estudo. Fiz essa opção metodológica, por possibilitar conhecer o sujeito e de o sujeito conhecer-se devido à reflexão que se estabelece no momento em que se toma consciência sobre a própria história. Dessa forma, é proporcionado um espaço para dar voz aos docentes, para que possam refletir sobre seus saberes e sua práxis, estabelecendo um diálogo e a possibilidade de reflexão sobre os mesmos. Após a análise, constatou-se que os docentes pesquisados, têm em sua formação, histórias construídas a partir de diferentes experiências e vivências sendo necessário conhecer os sentidos que cada um dá aos fatos que surgem. A inclusão de acadêmicos com necessidades educacionais especiais é ainda um desafio e como desafio, tem suscitado diferentes ações aos docentes, apoio das assessorias especializadas e do investimento do próprio docente na busca de maiores entendimentos a respeito dessa questão, pois cada sujeito é único. O processo de formação dos docentes é constante e envolvente. Essa realidade faz com que a prática seja pensada e repensada diariamente, fato esse que parece ser de extrema relevância para que o processo de inclusão ocorra e também, no dizer dos docentes, essa realidade é motivadora, enriquecedora, faz ir além, faz repensar conceitos e valores. Os docentes reconhecem e valorizam a importância das assessorias e apoios, que recebem, a respeito dos sujeitos com necessidades educacionais especiais, nesse espaço. Porém, fica evidenciada a necessidade de maiores discussões, para que as dúvidas quanto à demanda sejam mais esclarecidas, principalmente no que se refere às necessidades que não são tão visíveis e quanto à profissionalização desses sujeitos.

Materiais manipuláveis no processo ensino/aprendizagem da matemática: aprender explorando e construindo

O presente relatório surgiu no âmbito do Mestrado em Ensino de Matemática do 3º Ciclo do Ensino Básico e Secundário da Universidade da Madeira no ano letivo de 2011/ 2012 e tem como principal objetivo relatar, de forma clara e sucinta, o trabalho desenvolvido ao longo do estágio pedagógico, bem como analisar e compreender de que forma os materiais manipuláveis poderão contribuir para a aprendizagem da Matemática. Cada vez mais, verifica-se um enorme esforço e preocupação, por parte dos docentes e da comunidade escolar, em encontrar meios para incentivar os alunos a aprender. E, devido às exigências da sociedade atual, nasce a necessidade de construir novos contextos de aprendizagem, de acordo com as novas modalidades, para desta forma se alcançar um ensino/ aprendizagem de qualidade. Como tal, muitos são os desafios colocados ao professor, cujo dever consiste em encontrar resposta para as seguintes questões: Como devemos ensinar Matemática? Quais são as melhores estratégias para motivar o aluno? Como ensiná-lo a pensar e a ser autónomo? Contudo, desde os primeiros anos de escolaridade, existe uma preocupação crescente em associar os conteúdos aprendidos na escola com os objetos do dia-a-dia dos alunos, para que desta forma estes sintam uma maior proximidade com os conteúdo, associando-os a algo que lhes é familiar. Deste modo, no ensino/ aprendizagem da Matemática é importante a utilização de materiais manipuláveis, na procura e na construção de conceitos, uma vez que, a partir destes, o aluno cria uma maior ligação entre o concreto e o abstrato, compreendendo mais facilmente os conteúdos matemáticos trabalhados.

A representação social dos professores da prática do letramento na educação infantil do município de Lagoa do Carro

Este estudo buscou analisar a Representação Social dos professores da prática do letramento na Educação Infantil; relacionar as representações sociais acerca do letramento da educação infantil e inovação pedagógica e identificar se essas representações orientam suas práticas em prol da construção do conhecimento da criança através da prática do letramento. O referencial orientador da investigação é a Teoria das Representações Sociais de Serge Moscovici. Assim como vários estudiosos do Letramento e Inovação Pedagógica, o objeto deste estudo foram tomados como referências no intuito de compreender a representação da relação entre a teoria e a prática bem como implicações para uma inovação pedagógica. No percurso metodológico, optou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa, por trazer uma descrição dos fenômenos apresentados no contexto, e que, de acordo Minayo (2001), nas Ciências Sociais, ocupa-se com um nível de realidade que não pode ser quantificado, por conseguinte trabalhando com o universo de significados, aspirações, motivos, valores, crenças e atitudes. O campo da pesquisa configurou-se em duas escolas da Rede Pública Municipal da cidade de Lagoa do Carro – Pernambuco/Brasil. Os participantes foram quarenta e quatro sujeitos entre eles trinta e cinco professores, quatro supervisores e cinco coordenadores pedagógicos. Os instrumentos utilizados para coleta e geração dos dados foram questionário, entrevista semi-estruturada e observação participante, os quais foram tratados pela análise de conteúdo proposto por Bardin (2010). Os resultados do estudo apontaram para a compreensão de uma prática que tem no letramento uma representação social de ser um processo de aquisição de leitura e escrita, tendo como inovação a utilização de métodos ou técnicas, revelando que o processo de formação não atingiu os aspectos necessários para caracterizar uma prática educativa inovadora em que o papel do professor seria de propor ambientes favoráveis a uma aprendizagem atuando como mediador e ao mesmo tempo de ser um aprendiz ao considerar a capacidade de reflexão apresentado pelas crianças, diferenciando de um paradigma fabril que persiste na organização tradicional das escolas.

TIC e letramento na educação fundamental 2: inovação pedagógica?

O uso das Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação (TIC) estará a serviço da Inovação e melhoria da qualidade da educação, quando se pretende preparar o aluno para a vida ativa. Considerando o surgimento de gêneros novos e por ser a escola uma instituição responsável pela educação formal de indivíduos, tendo o currículo como instrumento viabilizador das funções que ela assume, surge o questionamento sobre as implicações da abordagem das tecnologias no interior do fenômeno educativo e a investigação no campo do letramento. Para fundamentar a pesquisa foram utilizados os seguintes autores: Toffler (2001); Gimeno Sacristán (1999; 2000); Papert (2008); Fino (2010); Fernandes (2000); Jonassem (2007); Lévy (1999); Kuhn (2003); Valente (1999); Freire (2010); Soares (2010); Lapassade (2005); Yin (2010); Vygotsky (2007); dentre outros. Na pesquisa em foco, tem-se como referência metodológica a abordagem qualitativa de procedimento etnográfico e observação participante, com entrevistas e análise de documentos numa escola pública estadual brasileira. O objetivo principal foi o de compreender e analisar o uso de recursos tecnológicos na sala de aula, tendo como base as práticas educativas com a utilização das TIC na Educação Fundamental II (sexto ao nono ano), que inclui os aspectos construtivistas de interação, cooperação, colaboração e construção do conhecimento. A investigação explicita uma reflexão sobre a utilização de atividades contextualizadas e interdisciplinares a partir de um trabalho feito com projetos educativos de caráter sociocultural, artístico, esportivo, ambiental, conferindo uma identidade própria à unidade de ensino. Nesse processo, a escola consegue melhorias na aprendizagem do aluno, na qual os métodos utilizados pelos educadores ultrapassam os limites do trabalho estático dos conteúdos impostos pelo currículo escolar. A referida pesquisa poderá contribuir com a comunidade escolar fazendo com que professores e gestores reflitam sobre as práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas na escola e suas implicações quando aliada a utilização de ferramentas tecnológicas.

Plano de Desenvolvimento da Escola (PDE): o processo de implantação de uma nova proposta de descentralização em duas escolas da rede municipal de ensino de Natal de 1999 a 2002

The 1988 Constitution was the legal marc to define changes in Brazilian State with major importance to the layout of public politician. In that moment of redefinitions e openness to new ways the redemocratization, participation and decentralization of public school had as their starter the elementary school. This work focus on the manage of FUNDESCOLA, particularly one of its politics called PDE (Educational Development Plan) wich purpose is guarantee a better quality in teaching and spread out democracy throughout its methodology. It was chosen two public schools: Professor Ulisses de Góis and Antonio Campos. The theoretical and methodological orientation is based on the theory of participative democracy developed by authors such as Putnam and Pateman. They says that a cultural background precedes individual participation in society. The collected data (educational legislation, surveys with all sectors of schools and technicians of Natal educational secretary, and relevant documents of de institutions) showed that PDE. Implementation had opposite runnings in the schools studied. In one, as a consequence of bad preparations of its teachers to absorve its methodology, PDE failed. In another way, PDE achieved its goals, especially helping the structure of action plans of the school and the administrative organization making possible several pedagogic activities planned. The work concludes that the main factor the failure or success of PDE relies on the organizational (both political and pedagogical) structure of each school. This discovery implies three important guidelines when comes to formulation of public politicians: a) Constitution of school; b) the local actors who manages the actions; c) the colletive interest in taking part of decisions

Canções no ensino de sociologia: reflexões e aplicação

As Sociology becomes a mandatory subject in the curricular componentof Brazilian high schools, we find anopportune moment to proposals and changes in the subject and in teaching, in a general aspect. It s noticed the great importance of the role that the create imagination plays in individual s formation (BACHELARD), and it s also seen that Brazilian education system has marginalized imagination to the detriment of a unifocused scientism that sterilizes creativity, playfulness and poetry in its educational process. Nevertheless, a way of thinking redefinitions to the educational horizons of Sociology as a subject and education is upheld. An educational practice that reconnects the prosaic and the poetic, using images/songs as paths/strategies of the teaching-learning process. As for that, the school structure was used where the tutor work was done to undertake experiences that made the use of songs as strategy to facilitate/stimulate the learning of the subject Sociology in high school. From thoughts and results of this experience, plus the bibliographic studies, analysis were made. The goal of this essay is to make use and stimulate the creation of poetic images from the teaching point of view, specially the Sociology subject in high school, rethinking and searching more efficient and playful ways of approaching and building educational methods from images; stimulating the development of the Thinking Reform and the Anthropoetics of the human gender (MORIN); acknowledging that imagination is an indispensable part of our integral formation

Fazer a ponte para a escola de todos(as)

The purpose of this study is to understand what are the matrix elements in which everyday activities of social author/authors, actor/actors and actress/actresses are embedded, in order to carry out the Escola da Ponte s political and pedagogic process (PPP). Thus, the object of this study is to reflect on an experience developed in a public school supported by the Portuguese State within the scenario of institutions that are committed to building up a school of the people by investing in democratization and community participation in their management process. The methodological course of action was targeted at the presuppositions of qualitative research (WOODS, 1999; BURGESS, 1997; MILLS, 1982; OLIVEIRA, 1998; BOGDAN and BIKLEN, 1994; MACEDO, 2000; CASAL, 1996; GEERTZ, 2000), with data collected from random word association (MACHADO and CARVALHO, 2003), the discourse of the interviewed (KAUFMANN, 1996; SILVA, 2006; 2002), observation notes and documents (ELIAS, 1997). Based on a multiple reference and theoretical framework, the investigation revealed elements that are construed as the raw material and pillars supporting the bridge of a school of the people, as well as the self-organization of the school community which emerges as a dimension that binds together all the elements and brings new arrangements into the school dynamics by moving from the individual to the society (DUPUY, 1990). Along this line, the central argument is that in the short and long run the public school quality does not spring from macro educational policies, nor from ephemeral mass-production programs, projects or governmental policies, but from the intent of the professionals working there in becoming authors and characters in the process of building up and carrying out the PPP. The Project has been conceived in the light of the needs and intentionality of the community whose support comes from the participation and social control held by the students families and the community s power to force to action public administration central agencies aiming at having the State fulfill its responsibilities

Serviço social na educação: saberes e competências necessárias no fazer profissional

The Theory analyzes what should know and what competes, formally, to the Professional of Social Service to act in the School Education. He/she investigates, starting from studies on the theme, and close to Council Federal and Regional of Social Service, and of the Brazilian Association of Studies and Researches in Social Service, that you know and competences are necessary for the social worker performance in that specific area. Through a research of nature empiric, bibliographical and documental, the analysis focus outlines the glance and the understanding of the professionals' category that represent the defense organs, fiscalization and formation of the profession. The importance of the scientific study is justified for the social worker necessary contribution acting in the School Education, whose political and pedagogic context presents multiple demands, you know and relationships, and when it is lived a social and education picture at the present time with order words in formation, as inclusion, empowerment, competence, that they demand other specialists in the school scenery to work with the varied expressions of the social subject. Since the years 1930 the social worker acts in the area of the Education, with an originating from knowledge the human and social areas that you/he/she makes possible him/it to contribute, undisciplinement, close to the pedagogic team of the School Education. The clarity of the you know and of the necessary competences to intervene in that field of specific work makes possible the legitimation of the identity, of the social worker professionalization and the formalization of his/her practice. The Theory ends that the profissionality and the social worker professionalism is built and it is recognized in the area of the Education starting from the knowledge of the you know and pertinent competences to intervene in that context, beginning that knowledge on the part of the category of the Social Service and of the formation organs and representation of the profession so that the school community - administration and pedagogic coordination, teachers and students - he understands and recognize the social worker necessary intervention in that field. The formalization of those you know and competences are built starting from actions and thought mobilizations and operation in the group of the category, and not for isolated actions and individualized. It is revealed, in the opinion of the ones that represent Regional Council of Social Service, a wide vision of the social worker in that space exercising, among other, functions that don't compete to the professional's profile or restricted to actions and techniques historically exercised in their work fields. A new profile of the professional of the Social Service that it acts in the School Education is possible when his/her action is visualized centered not just in the work with the family, but, doing of the school a proposition space and execution of programs, projects, studies and social researches. He intends, an action politics and of popularization on them know and the social worker competences in the School Education

Itinerário educacional de uma aluna cega e a busca pela imagem adaptada

The scope of this study directs an investigation in search of how the blind person learns knowledge at school mediated by the image in context of an inclusive education and how it can be (or is) triggered by the adaptation of images to the tactile seizure of the blind person and his correlative process of reading. To achieve this intent we choose a qualitative approach of research and opted for the modality of case study, based on the empirical field of a public school in the city of Cruzeta, RN and as a the main subject a congenitally blind female student enrolled in high school there, focusing, often, on the discipline of geography in its words mapping. Our procedures for construction of data are directly involved to the documentary analysis of open reflective interview and observation. The base guiding theory of our assessments is located in the current understanding about the human psychological development of its educational process inside an inclusive perspective, of contemporary conceptions about the visual disability as well of image as a cultural product. Accordingly, the human person is a concrete subject, whose development is deeply marked by the culture, historically built by human society. This subject regardless of his specific features, grasping the world in an interactive and immediate way, internalising and producing culture. In this thinking, we believe that the blind person perceives in multiple senses the stimuli of his environment and acts in the world toward his integration into the social environment. The image as a product of culture, historically and socially determined, appears as a sign conventionally used as an icon that in itself concentrates knowledge of which the student who does not realize visually himself and his surroundings cannot be excluded. In this direction, the inclusive educational process must build conditions of access to knowledge for all students without distinction, including access to the interpretation of the images originally intended for the seizure strictly visual to other perceptive models. Based in this theory and adopting principles of content analysis, we circulated inside the interpretation of the data constructed from the analysis of documents, from the subject speeches, from records of the observation made in the classroom and other notes of the field daily. In the search for pictures on the school contents, adapted to the tactile seizure of blind student, was seen little and not systematic in practice and teaching at the school. It showed us the itinerary of the student life marked by a succession of supports, most of the time inappropriate and pioneers in cooling the construction of her autonomy. It also showed us the tensions and contradictions of a school environment, supposedly inclusive, that stumbles in search of its intent, in the attitudinal and cumulative barriers brought, because of its aggravating maintenance. These findings arose of crossing data around of a categorization that gives importance to 1) Concepts regarding the school inclusion, 2) Elements of the school organization, educational proposal and teaching practice, 3) Meaning of the visual image as the object of knowledge, 4) Perception in multiple senses and 5) Development and learning of the blind person before impositions of the social environment. In light of these findings we infer that it must be guaranteed to the disabled person removal of the attitudinal barriers that are against his full development and the construction of his autonomy. In that sense, should be given opportunity to the student with visual disability, similarly to all students, not only access to school, but also the dynamics of a school life efficient, that means the seizure of knowledge in all its modalities, including the imagery. To that end, there is a need of the continued training of teachers, construction of a support network in response to all needs of students, and the opportunity to development of reading skills beyond a perspective eminently focused in the sight

O pedagogo como agente de transformação social para além dos muros escolares

This thesis concerns the problem about the pedagogue actuation in the social education into no scholars places. It search to understand the context and the social pedagogue role to his praxis and formation that enlarger the possibilities of the social educative practices into no scholars places. In this direction, we developed an investigation about the actuation of the pedagogues-educators in Natal city, in the 2007-2010 periods, into Municipal Secretary of the Labor and Social Assistance (SEMTAS). Considering that pedagogues are regularly attached in social educators profession as municipals public employees, we re the objective to evaluate their role into the social executed in the no scholars places, with the focus in the environmental dimensions of theirs work s places, pedagogical organization, institutional management and the professional formation. It privileged in this research the Specialized Reference Center of Social Assistance II (CREAS II), the Passages Houses I, II and III, the Social-Educative Measures in Open Environment Execution Program of Natal city (PENSEMA) and the Pitimbú Educational Center (CEDUC-Pitimbú). To realize this study it developed a research with qualitative nature by critic ethnography approach privileging those information collected with the social pedagogue-educators of the mentioned places. Through the methodological procedures adopted; beyond the bibliographical review we remarked the documental research, the semi-structured interview, the questionnaires-routes and the field observations. The analytical results revealed that the politics to the social education in Brazil historically came been dimensioned by the fight of social movements demanding the fundamental rights to the excluded people; that the SEMTAS politics of social education present a relative basic social protection to the excluded children and young people specially into law view; that the politics of social education in Natal city it s close of the logic of sanitarian attention about the disadvantaged groups; that the conceptual, methodological and formatives fragilities needs to the social pedagogues-educators praxis into non scholars places made difficult the operation capacity of a educative proposition anchored in a institutional action guided by the idea of emancipator education; that the SEMTAS take face several difficulties to developed a web assistance as preview in the reception proposition elaborated by the social pedagogues-educators. However in despite the tensions we remarked the value of this potentiality to the non scholar social education in her attempt to constitute herself in a legitimate space to the pedagogue professional actuation. In despite the obstacles to work and formation quotidian, across those non scholar spaces in the municipalities institutes to the social politics, it demonstrated personal sensibility and professional creativity in learning mediations and educative action to the children and younger derived from exclusion process and the social iniquities

A Internet como tecnointeração da aprendizagem: valorização da cultura e identidade juvenil

The present study investigates Internet as technological interaction in the school environment as a resource of the teaching-learning process. It aims to discuss the lack of synchronicity between proposals of educational access for Internet use and types of access and interaction applied by youngsters. For the development of this research, I resorted to a qualitative, descriptive and explanatory research focused on a group whose subjects are youngsters from eleven to fifteen years of age in a catholic school which belongs to a group of private teaching schools in Natal city, Rio Grande do Norte state. As methodological option it focus on a group and the observation of its participation, discourse analysis and ethnography, considering facts and data of the pedagogical practice concerning the focused theme, besides the attempt to know the youngsters everyday at school and the relationship between them and juvenile cultures. It recognizes the existence of two moments of the focused group: the first related to internet use like technological interaction; the second concerns to the way Internet is problematic as technological interaction in classroom learning. While contacting with youngsters, the study discusses the concepts of Media Environments, Culture, Identity, Network, Consumption and Citizenship. It recognizes that it is relevant for the school to consider Internet a pedagogical tool, directed not just at research, but mostly as learning environment and as learning construction in a collaborative way. It points out the need of approach between school and media environment, reevaluating the pedagogical practice, offering a new evaluation proposal (self-evaluation). It suggests a renewal in the teacher's pedagogical practice in the classroom and using Internet, valuing the connection between technological interaction and communication as motivation elements of student s learning construction and their effective participation in decisions involving citizenship. It gives priority to educational work directed at the establishment of dialogic relationship between codes, learning and contents, leading to the new findings domain in the media environment, enabling the development of abilities and performances directed at the recognition and consumption of information from a critical reading of the media

A história do centro de educação integrada Monsenhor Honório: surgimento e contribuições (Macau /RN - 1956 1966)

The present study objective to construct to the Education‟s History of Centro de Educação Integrada Monsenhor Honório in Macau, in the state of the Rio Grande do Norte. By means of the examination of this Institution of education, we intend to analyze its educative practical in the Fifties years, that this was the first one to offer gymnasial course and, over all, for having formed doctors, engineers, teachers, bachelors and economists in the city and the region during five decades of functioning. For this we use the records as documentary sources available in the institution, in newspapers and in public and private archives in the capital and the interior, beyond interview with former-employees, former-pupils and people who had participated of its creation and, consequently, they had made and they are part of this history. The institution‟s history helped to us to comment the reading of Macau‟s education, propitiating us reflections about pedagogical practical, methods of teaching and school regiment, in the perspective to understand a past still so present and all process for which passed the education, in the context of the proper Macau‟s history. The search results lead us to evidence that the creation of this school, in 1956, represented a landmark in the education of this municipal district, contributing of decisive form in the formation of the macauenses

O memorial autobiográfico: uma tradição acadêmica do ensino superior no Brasil

The thesis has as object of study the autobiographical memmorials. The general objective is to describe the history of the memmorial as an academic tradition of higher education in Brazil. Considered a hybrid genre, memmorials are known for focusing on life stories from a scientific perspective. The investigation revolves around three intertwined branches: History of Education, educational practices and language usages, which allow us to conduct a dialogue with multiple theoretical-methodological references with a view to supporting our analyses. The corpus used for the analysis was made up of 40 autobiographical memmorials, distributed as follows: 16 academic memmorials, dated from 1935 to 1970; 07 academic memmorials, dated from 1980 to 2007; and 17 formation memmorials, dated from 1995 to 2000. In this corpus, we also included official documents, which relate to legislation contained in edicts, resolutions, ordinances, regulations, which we used with a view to: 1) getting to know and understanding the big picture of higher education regulation in Brazil and the aspects related to the higher education teaching career; 2) investigating the text of memmorials in the light of the injunctive discourse characteristic of the edicts and resolutions in which they were based. The analysis of the memmorial supported by the legislation which regulates it allowed us to reconstitute the image of the professor throughout 80 years in the Brazilian public university. For this purpose, the study was conducted in the theoretical-methodological perspective of the (auto)biographical research in Education and of the sociolinguistic studies on discourse genres and discursive traditions. The investigations reveal the memmorial as an academic genre in which the professor's academic-professional history and the history of the higher education teaching career in Brazil intertwine. Anchored in the Bakhtinian perspective on discourse genres, according to which the memmorials evolve and become more complex as their contexts of usage also evolve and become more complex themselves, the results of our analyses allowed us to correlate genre changes to the sociohistorical context and to its usage as an educational practice in the university, in the decades under study. Therefore, the analyses showed that these self-writings: go from latent subjectivity to pure objectivity from the 1930s to 1960s; they show total annulment of the subject from the 1960s to the 1970s; they reappear in the 1980s, having Professor Magda Soares' memmorial as perspective; they expand and diversify from the 1990s onwards, taking on a formative role and a perspective of future as well. So far as language usages are concerned, we investigated the relationship of the subject with the language, especifically the manifestation of alterity on the discursive tissue of the memmorials. In this branch, the analyses pointed to the influence of the authoritative discourse on the formation of the professor and of the injunction and reinventing discourses on the authorship process. Therefore, the autobiographical memmorial reveals itself as a specific expression of the Brazilian academy's cultural sphere and allows us to confirm the hypothesis that each memorial tackles a singular-plural situation, by presenting a dialectical articulation between private and public, according to the institutional structures, in which and with which the professor has already formed him/herself and with which he/she dialogues
