A formação do pedagogo-professor no curso de pedagogia: limites e possibilidades na visão de professores formados no campus avançado de Patu da UERN

The inconclusive policies regarding the teaching background, specifically the Pedagogy Course, whose National Curricular Directives DCN were ratified by the Ministry of Education on April 4th 2006, have been causing protest from the various forces within the scope of the university, specifically in the Pedagogy Departments in which, through their professionals, express the several stands about the pedagogue profile, his/her professional acting field and a curriculum that meets the background needs of this professional. This paper tried to assess, from the viewpoint of the student who graduated from the Pedagogy Course and who acts in classroom in the first years of the Elementary School, to what extent this course meets the background needs of the professional who works as teacher. In specific terms it was this paper's objective to identify the most important background needs of teachers who graduated in Pedagogy, who act in the first years of the Elementary School; To list the contributions and limitations of the Pedagogy Course of CAJIM/UERN in the teachers' background, outlined by the graduates of the course; to raise suggestions for the improvement of the teachers' background in the Pedagogy Course of the CAJIM/UERN. In order to turn these objectives viable we opted for the qualitative approach in research, more precisely for the case study methodology, from which we used as instruments for the execution of the field work the observation in classrooms, semi-structured interviews which became the main instrument used for the data construction and analysis. The data analysis process took place through the content analysis technique based in Bardin (2000). The theoretical line is based on the studies from Schön (2000), Nóvoa (1997), Perrenoud (1993), Alarcão (2003), Ramalho (2003) we also used the National Curricular Directives which serve as current Parameter for the Pedagogy courses. The study indicated that the Pedagogy Course contributed for the personal and professional enrichment, however, difficulties in the theory-practice articulation are still present in the everyday life. The theoretical knowledge assimilated, though represent increments to the professional practice, are not enough to enable a pedagogical practice with excellence. There is a need to consider a curriculum in a dialectic perspective, configurator of social and cultural practices sustained by the reasoning as praxis, thus it must not be seen solely in a theoretical plan, mas as a process that builds itself between the acting and the reasoning.

O currículo do curso de pedagogia da UFPA/Campus Universitário do Baixo-Tocantins e a identidade cultural das populações do campo

O estudo focaliza a análise da Identidade Cultural das Populações do Campo e sua relação com o Currículo do Curso de Pedagogia do Campus Universitário do Baixo Tocantins da Universidade Federal do Pará, partindo da análise do seu Projeto Político-Pedagógico, dos planos de curso das disciplinas que fazem parte do Núcleo Básico do desenho curricular do Curso: História Geral da Educação, História da Educação do Brasil e da Amazônia, Teoria do Currículo e Prática Pedagógica e das Diretrizes Operacionais para a Educação Básica nas Escolas do Campo. O objetivo principal desse estudo foi investigar como o Currículo do Curso de Pedagogia do CUBT/UFPA estabelece relações com a Identidade Cultural das Populações do Campo. A metodologia utilizada privilegiou a pesquisa de enfoque qualitativo, com ênfase a análise documental e entrevistas semi estruturada. O estudo demonstrou que o Curso de Pedagogia em sua trajetória no Brasil desde 1939, tem sido marcado por discussões em torno de sua especificidade, e que seu currículo vem ligado a uma política que hoje toma como base a docência. O Curso de Pedagogia do CUBT/UFPA, traz em seu Projeto Político-Pedagógico a dinâmica organizada de acordo com a estrutura do Curso de Pedagogia do Campus do Guamá/UFPA, priorizando em seu contexto a realidade urbana, pois como delineia o desenho curricular do curso, quando em sua organização, garante a discussão da educação rural apenas em seu Núcleo Eletivo. O Campus Universitário do Baixo Tocantins, localizado no município de Abaetetuba-Pa vivencia em sua realidade o cotidiano das populações do campo, não podendo se ver separado de tal especificidade. Para tanto, o Curso de Pedagogia necessita de um Projeto Político-Pedagógico voltado também para a identidade cultural dos povos do campo, não anulando o urbano, mas construindo espaços de valorização identitária. Há necessidade de considerar um currículo numa perspectiva dialética, configurador de práticas sociais e culturais sustentadas pela reflexão enquanto práxis, devendo não ser visto como um plano a cumprir, mas como um processo que se constrói entre o atuar e o refletir.

Simulação numérica de fluxo de águas subterrâneas do aquífero Rio Claro, na região do campus da UNESP - Rio Claro, SP

The water management in any area is highly important to the success of many business and also of life and the understanding of your relationship with the environment brings better control to its demand. I.e. hydrogeological studies are needed under better understanding of the behavior of an aquifer, so that its management is done so as not to deplete or harm it. The objective of this work is the numerical modeling in transient regime of a portion of the Rio Claro aquifer formation in order to get answers about its hydrogeological parameters, its main flow direction and also its most sensitive parameters. A literature review and conceptual characterization of the aquifer, combined with field campaigns and monitoring of local water level (NA), enabled the subsequent construction of the mathematical model by finite elements method, using the FEFLOW 6.1 ® computational algorithm. The study site includes the campus of UNESP and residential and industrial areas of Rio Claro city. Its area of 9.73 km ² was divided into 318040 triangular elements spread over six layers, totaling a volume of 0.25 km³. The local topography and geological contacts were obtained from previous geological and geophysical studies as well as profiles of campus wells and SIAGAS / CPRM system. The seven monitoring wells on campus were set up as observation points for calibration and checking of the simulation results. Sampling and characterization of Rio Claro sandstones shows up a high hydrological and lithological heterogeneity for the aquifer formation. The simulation results indicate values of hydraulic conductivity between 10-6 and 10-4 m / s, getting the Recharge/Rainfall simulation in transient ratio at 13%. Even with the simplifications imposed on the model, it was able to represent the fluctuations of local NA over a year of monitoring. The result was the exit of 3774770 m³ of water and the consequently NA fall. The model is considered representative for the...
