Construção de um sistema educacional inclusivo: um desafio político-pedagógico

Na realidade brasileira a proposta da construção de um sistema educacional inclusivo encontra-se amparada legalmente e em princípios teóricos fundamentados em ideais democráticos de igualdade, eqüidade e diversidade. No entanto, muitas vezes, as práticas inclusivas se distanciam sobremaneira das proposições teóricas e legais. Assim, neste artigo, temos como objetivo discutir aspectos relacionados ao delineamento de políticas públicas de inclusão educacional, considerando as ações político-administrativas e as de caráter pedagógico. Colocamos em debate as dificuldades de apreensão do caráter inter-setorial do processo, do conceito de educação inclusiva, como também as dificuldades de materialização de práticas não excludentes, da transformação do contexto educacional, tanto no que se refere às concepções quanto às ações na busca de implantação e implementação de um sistema inclusivo.

O conceito de Educação em Hegel

A educação sempre mereceu atenção por parte dos filósofos. Basta citar o exemplo de Sócrates ensinando em praça pública. Sua atividade era um convite ao saber. O filósofo alemão G. W. F. Hegel ( 1770 - 1834 ) também não ficou indiferente a essa questão muito embora não tenha se manifestado detidamente sobre ela em sua obra. No entanto, Hegel sempre ocupou cargos ou desempenhou funções relacionadas à educação. Por isso é possível apontar essa preocupação em sua filosofia e sugerir as possíveis contribuições. Para Hegel não há sociedade que se sustente sem a educação, pois ela é expressão da razão que busca estabelecer a liberdade e implantá-la enquanto prática corrente. Disso deriva a concepção hegeliana de homem que se caracteriza pela construção de si com seus semelhantes através da história. Esse homem é responsável pelo seu destino e por sua felicidade que não se identifica de forma absoluta com qualquer estrutura material. Nesse sentido Hegel atribui centralidade ao conteúdo e não aos métodos e técnicas. O conteúdo deve ser ministrado enquanto direito e também necessidade, pois é por ele que o homem aprende a ser livre, isto é, racional. A liberdade como fim da educação somente se realiza na totalidade da comunidade o que implica a superação de posicionamentos individualistas.

Uma reflexão sobre o trabalho docente a partir da análise do conceito de crenças

Este texto é uma reflexão sobre as crenças do professor que condicionam sua ação cotidiana e influenciam/determinam seus saberes/ações, tanto para o sucesso como para o insucesso escolar. Conhecêlas e interpretá-las pode ser um caminho ou um movimento para a transformação do trabalho docente. A partir dos conceitos de crenças, cotidiano, não-cotidiano e alienação, analisamos um trabalho realizado em uma escola da rede de ensino público paulista. O trabalho se constituiu de uma assessoria a um grupo de professores. Foi possível uma reflexão sobre as crenças e a postura dos professores, reflexão essa que indica perspectivas de mudanças.

Panorama atual da ética em pesquisa em seres humanos

In the last decades, medical care has been increasingly permeated by the concept of evidence-based-medicine, in which clinical research plays a crucial role in establishing diagnostic and treatment. Following the improvements in clinical research, we have a growing concern and understanding that some ethical issues must be respected when the subjects are human beings. Research with human subjects relies on the principles of autonomy, beneficence, no maleficence and justice. Ordinance 196/96 from the National Health Board adds to the Brazilian legislation such renowned bioethical principles.Aim: Discuss the main ethical aspects involved in research with human subjects.Materials and Methods: Critical analysis of Ordinance 196/96 and related literature.Conclusion: Ordinance 196/96 rules research with human subjects; nevertheless, it requires more in-depth discussions regarding the informed consent, use of placebo, research with vulnerable populations and research in developing countries.

Níveis de proteína digestível e energia digestível em dietas para tilápias-do-nilo formuladas com base no conceito de proteína ideal

This study was carried out to determine the best digestible energy and digestible protein ratio in feeds for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) juveniles 30.0 +/- 4.21 g) based on digestible amino acids and the ideal protein concept). Twelve rations were formulated with protein levels 22.0; 26.0; 30.0 and 34.0% of digestible protein and levels 3,000, 3,300 and 3,600 kcal/kg digestible energy. The digestible energy/digestible protein ratio was between 8.94 and 15.19 kcal/g. Three hundred and twenty four tilapias were randomly distributed in thirty six 250 L circular tanks at a density of 9 fish/tank, a total of 12 treatments with three replications. After 60 days, there was no significant difference in weight gain, daily weight gain and feed conversion ratio among the studied treatments. A linear increase was observed in fillet yield with increasing digestible protein. With respect to feed cost/kg weight gain, the treatment with 30.0% DP and 3,000 kcal/kg DE presented low cost and better cost effectiveness index. Therefore, it was concluded that digestible energy did not influence the productive performance parameters and that effective feeds can be formulated with DP levels lower than 34% when feeding juvenile tilapias. The ration should be formulated based on the concept of ideal protein.

Estudo preliminar de uma metodologia baseada no conceito de graus-dia, para previsão das fases fenológicas de culturas agrícolas

This work develops a methodology (using the degree-days concept and linear regression), to forecast the duration of phenological phases in crops. An experiment was conducted in the greenhouse with three cultivars of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.), cv. Califórnia-781, Tvx 5058-09C and IT 81D-1032. The methodology was based on the relative thermal efficiency rate, determined for each species or cv. The results show that the proposed methodology may be a good alternative in works involving crops, especially because it does not require the repetition of the experiments.

Princípios éticos na experimentação animal

The treatment of animals used in research or in education tests requires proper care, scientific judgment and qualified professionals to understand the needs of the animals and the special requirements of the research, tests, and educational programs. The established guidelines aim the development of knowledge necessary for the improvement of health and wellbeing of humans as well as animals to get precise and accurate results. The techniques should not be performed with inappropriate procedures that cause pain or suffering. Some principles should be considered to have an appropriate animal care and treatment.

Geração de VRS a partir de modelos atmosféricos: Conceito, implementação e resultados

Nowadays, with the implantation of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) reference station networks, several positioning techniques have been developed and/or improved. Using such kind of network data it is possible to model the GNSS distance dependent errors and to compute correction terms for the network region. Several methods have been developed to formulate the corrections terms from network stations data. A method that has been received a great attention is the Virtual Reference Station (VRS). The idea is that the VRS data resemble as much as possible a real receiver data placed in the same local. Therefore, the user has the possibility of using the VRS as if it were a real reference station in your proximities, and to accomplish the relative positioning with a single frequency receiver. In this paper it is described a different methodology applied to implement the VRS concept, using atmospheric models developed by Brazilian researchers. Besides, experiments for evaluating the quality of generated VRS are presented, showing the efficiency of the proposed method.

Conceito e classificação da dormência em sementes

Despite being known to science for quite a long time, the phenomenon of seed dormancy still baffles the scientific community for the multiple complex underlying mechanisms. The current classification systems of seed dormancy attempt to condense all that is known about the phenomenon in an attempt to generate a conceptual database that would enable facilitated interpretation of upcoming information and allow for a better contextuation of research in this field. The present paper is a preliminary overview of the current panorama of concepts and classification systems of seed dormancy that intends to serve as a standpoint for future research in this field.

Descrição do conceito de deficiência a partir da mídia cinematográfica: uma análise comportamental

This work pointed out forming elements from the conception of special necessities that the media show the audience by the movies. An expression description has established special needs and they were identified as keywords on a search of movies (1994-2004) which were analyzed by two observers, according to a script. The results showed that 33 of the movies selected, 39.9% were classified in the ramacategory; 64% shows the disability as organic nature and 57% with predominant clinic diagnoses. Many labeled practices were identified (85%) and few accessibilities options (76%). In 85% of the movies the disability is said a manifestation of problems with few (58%) professionals intervention. The results are discussed by the media role on the concept formation of disabilities, offering interaction models with important role on social practice specification or unsuitable to the relation with the diversity and to the culture.

Focando na variação: Métodos e aplicações do conceito de diversidade beta em ecossistemas aquáticos

Ecologists usually estimate means, but devote much less attention to variation. The study of variation is a key aspect to understand natural systems and to make predictions regarding them. In community ecology, most studies focus on local species diversity (alpha diversity), but only in recent decades have ecologists devoted proper attention to variation in community composition among sites (beta diversity). This is in spite of the fact that the first attempts to estimate beta diversity date back to the pioneering work by Koch and Whittaker in the 1950s. Progress in the last decade has been made in the development both of methods and of hypotheses about the origin and maintenance of variation in community composition. For instance, methods are available to partition total diversity in a region (gamma diversity), in a local component (alpha), and several beta diversities, each corresponding to one scale in a hierarchy. The popularization of the so-called raw-data approach (based on partial constrained ordination techniques) and the distance-based approach (based on correlation of dissimilarity/distance matrices) have allowed many ecologists to address current hypotheses about beta diversity patterns. Overall, these hypotheses are based on niche and neutral theory, accounting for the relative roles of environmental and spatial processes (or a combination of them) in shaping metacommunities. Recent studies have addressed these issues on a variety of spatial and temporal scales, habitats and taxonomic groups. Moreover, life history and functional traits of species such as dispersal abilities and rarity have begun to be considered in studies of beta diversity. In this article we briefly review some of these new tools and approaches developed in recent years, and illustrate them by using case studies in aquatic ecosystems.
