Necessidades de formação de professoras principiantes da educação infantil/pré-escola

This work arose from our concerns with the issues of teacher training for early childhood education. From the difficulties encountered as a novice teacher in elementary, we deem important to research training needs of these professionals. Thus, we define the objective of this research to investigate the training needs of novice teachers teaching Early Childhood Education/Elementary school. Our work fits in Educational Research Qualitative Approach, and its construction procedures of the semistructured interview data and document analysis. Our empirical field was made up of schools in the metropolitan region of Natal / RN, offering kindergarten / elementary school. The subjects are five teachers who act as holder of the elementary school class and have 0-3 years of teaching practice, characterizing the second Huberman (2007) as novice teachers. Data analysis, based on principles of content analysis, three themes emerged: Beginner Teaching Professor in Early Childhood Education / Preschool; Reasons explaining the difficulties Faculty / Formative Needs Teaching and Training in Early Childhood Education / Elementary school, from the Training Needs Analysis, with their respective categories, subcategories, contributing to our understanding of the subject matter. The entry into the profession is marked by mixed feelings of euphoria and fear, where there seems to be a "clash" with reality. The difficulties are related to the planning / execution of activities, meet the individual needs of learning and assessment of children. As a strategy to overcome the difficulties the teachers exercise the action-reflection-action in their practices and seek continuous updates in the theoretical and methodological framework of early childhood education. The reasons that define these difficulties may be related to the teacher, school, family, and students of these institutions. In experiencing these difficulties has outlined the need for teacher training, among which stand out studies on ethics in teaching with children, the concept of children and their childhoods, peculiarities of teaching / learning in preschool, toys and legal determinations on early childhood education, multi-language and expressions in early childhood education, specific content areas of knowledge, among others. Furthermore, studies on the theoretical as Piaget, Vigotsky, Maria Carmen Barbosa and Emily Smith. For these professionals to be a professional early childhood education is: like children, be patient and careful, have specific theoretical and practical training for teachers in kindergarten, being able to improvise with seriousness and competence and get updates on continuing education. The surveys, together with the authors and teachers, to confirm our understanding that the training needs of beginners may be related to shortcomings in the initial and continuing education

Currículo e arquitetura escolar: concepções de professoras e equipe gestora do Colégio Nossa Senhora das Neves-Natal-RN

The present study aims to investigate the conceptions of teachers and management team of the Colégio Nossa Senhora das Neves - Natal / RN about curriculum, school architecture and possible relationships established between these components. To develop the study, we rely on the theoretical contributions of Viñao Frago (2001), Escolano (2001); Benconstta (2005), among others, about the architecture school, and with regard to curriculum, ancoramo us in theoretical reflections Silva (2000, 2006, 2008). We assume that the school place is a social construct and as such, reflects the interests of certain groups, to organize, establish ways to condition their unctions and uses. In this space, people's lives is planned, both those who work there, as those who study there. Thus, the architecture school promotes, through representations, signs, symbols and shapes, certain charges that impact the ways of being and acting subjects by establishing appropriation and expropriation of rights and legitimate forms of inclusion and exclusion. Thus, it is an expression of power. A power that is expressed in the form of lead the way people should behave in a certain space. Clarity on these aspects of the architecture school is important, since in the same way that the opinion of several experts is important to discuss the adequacy of school architecture (environmentalists, architects, engineers, planners), the / the teacher / and the / as managers / must also meet the educational nature of the architecture school, so as to present its share of contribution in order to make the post-school conducive to learning multiple. From this perspective, we analyze the concepts of four teachers and eight individuals who are part of the management team of the CNSN, whose views were seized through participant observation, semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis. The construction of the data indicated levels of conceptual curriculum varied, ranging from those rooted in traditional theories of curriculum as those regarding the curriculum tied to discursive and contextual aspects. The conceptions of architecture school, predominantly focused on the aspects of the architecture school materials and most established subject, differently, relations between curriculum and school architecture

Narrativas de formação de professoras dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental: Concepções e construções de necessidades formativas na Geografia Escolar

This article is about a study about the training needs for teachers of elementary school in the field of Geography. It is our objective to grasp their conceptions of training needs and reflect about their formative needs to teach geography. We consider the training as reflective process that involves the movement of changes and improvement beyond of formal learning, considering its numerous dimensions. We reflected about formative needs in light of the readings of Rodrigues Esteves (1993), Silva (2000), Roberts (2006), Vieira (2010). The discussions about conceptions were based on Ferreira (2007). The empirical reference constitutes to a private school in the city of Ceará-Mirim/RN, SECAT Centro de Ensino. The social subjects of our research are five teachers who work in the initial years of elementary school. We resorted a survey (auto) biographical, based on the studies of Passeggi (2011), Delory (2008), Bertaux (2010) e Josso (2010), since it is our intention to turn to the historicity of the subject and the learning, recognizing the links between him and the world and the experiences based on for learning and adult training. As technical and methodological procedure we will use the Training Narratives, whose application allows the understanding of memories and stories of schooling teachers, since are reported events occurred during the development of the individual through seminars Biographical. We observed on the narratives constructed by the teachers the absence assignments of meanings to a reworking of the theoretical formative needs and questions of its organizing principles. However, we notice the teachers were able to develop senses and means to conceive the phenomenon in study, in a descriptive way, through articulated enunciations, including aspects and opportunities linked to their teaching practices and future formative prospects. Regarding School Geography, we based our studies in the reflections of Smith Junior (1994, 2000), Tonini (2003), Vesentini (2004) and Vlach (1991), among others. We verified that the needs evidenced by the teachers to teach geography were constructed from the contexts of their teaching practices present in their school and professional trajectories. Therefore, we noticed the need for formal pedagogical qualification so that we can conceive the phenomenon in study beyond its descriptive character, understanding that it is necessary to point out reflections and questions about the dynamics of production of global capital, which conveys its interests in the contexts that often emerge formative needs of the educational system.

O espaço formativo na escola: um estudo com professoras dos 4º e 5º anos do ensino fundamental.

Es extensa, de parte de los docentes, la discusión sobre la articulación de actividades y estrategias de enseñanza que vengan a proporcionar una participación más activa del alumnado. Sin embargo tal tarea constituye un desafío para muchos profesores ya que, muchas veces, la formación inicial no siempre los prepara para esta perspectiva. Nosotros entendemos que es necesario desarrollar en los maestros una autonomía crítica, tomando la escuela como espacio formativo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue él de incentivar un espacio de discusión y reflexión para profesores en ejercicio de los 4° y 5° años de la Enseñanza Fundamental I. Ese espacio que era orientado para que ellos estudiasen y articulasen, entre otras cosas, el conocimiento disciplinar de Ciencias y la organización y sistematización de actividades de enseñanza que lleven a una participación más activa de los estudiantes. La investigación se realizó en una escuela privada de Natal/RN, que atiende a estudiantes desde la educación infantil hasta la enseñanza secundaria. Se desarrolló en cuatro fases: la 1ª, de familiarización, cuyo objeto de estudio se dio a través de la observación del salón de clase y del análisis de la planificación anual: la 2ª, de identificación de las dificultades de los maestros, teniendo como instrumentos encuestas con preguntas abiertas y elaboración de textos. La 3ª, en la perspectiva de proporcionar una intervención, se usó como instrumentos de investigación, el diario de clase y otras actividades como talleres, cursos y la elaboración de material didáctico. En la 4ª fase, para reconocer los posibles cambios en la práctica docente, ocurrieron nuevas observaciones en el salón de clase, el análisis de las planificaciones. Los datos obtenidos fueron organizados en tablas y clasificados. Los resultados señalan cambios en la práctica de esos profesionales, la introducción de la disciplina de Ciencias en el espacio formativo y el material didáctico elaborado ha sido un subsidio importante para ayudarlos en las clases

Fontes primárias da história do vácuo e da pressão atmosférica na sala de aula: cartas e jornais históricos em articulação com o livro-texto do ensino médio

The use of the History and the Philosophy of Science (HPS) for the teaching of science and scientific subjects has been advocated in recent decades. It has been pointed out that the History of Science could make for a deeper learning of scientific concepts, since it would promote a contact with the problems which that knowledge has set out to solve. Furthermore, historical episodes would serve to put the discussions about the nature of scientific knowledge into context. With a view to explore those potentialities, the literature in the field has sought to identify the challenges and obstacles for the didactic transposition of subjects from the History of Science. Amongst many aspects, the deficiencies in the training of teachers, so that they can work with the insertion of HPS in the classroom have been highlighted. Another aspect that has been mentioned to be a challenge has to do with the didactic transposition of the Primary Sources, that is, of the original texts on the History of Science. The Primary Sources have significant potentialities: making a connection possible between scientists and concepts, showing the difficulties faced during scientific endeavors, perceiving the role of mistakes as obstacles to be surpassed, not as defeat, etc. On the other hand, there has been little exploration of these concepts in an educational context, due to their own peculiarities. The original texts are often hard to understand and their interpretation demands knowledge of the historical and scientific context in which they were written, as well as skills pertaining to the conduction of research in the field of the History of Science. With this scenario in mind, the research towards this Professional MSc degree starts from the challenge of elaborating and discussing proposals which could enable the didactical transposition of the Primary Sources. We have worked specifically with Primary Sources on the History of the Vacuum and of the Atmospheric Pressure, because of the insertion of these subjects in the Brazilian High School curriculum, in connection with the didactical textbooks. "Historic Journals" were made up from clippings of the original historical texts, as was a Didactical Unit, which takes the usual textbooks as a basis and contemplates using the Journals and the entire Primary Sources in High School. At last, we have elaborated and implemented a course designed for the preparation of teachers and for being an opportunity for the discussion of the feasibility of putting these kinds of proposal into practice

A prática de correção textual por professoras de língua portuguesa do ensino médio

Cette recherche analyse les pratiques de correction de textes de l'enseignement du 1, 2 et 3 ème niveau. Nous avons parti de discutions avec les professeurs de Langue Portugaise des troisièmes annèes d‟une école appartenant au enseignement publique, située à la ville d‟Assu RN. L'étude a les postulats théoriques de Cruz (2007), Dellagnelo (1998), Oliveira (2005), Pécora (1999), Ruiz (2001), Serafini (1989), et d‟autres. La méthodologie est de nature qualitative et d‟interpretation, dont le matériel a été constitué à partir des rapports des enseignants professionnels, ainsi que les 92 textes recueillies entre juillet et août 2008. Les dés montrent que la correction se configure comme un travail pratique, qui vise à aider les étudiants à améliorer leur écriture. Les professeurs font la correction d‟une forme mélangée, c'est-à-dire dans le texte apparaissent les corrections orthographiques, lexicales, etc., mais la prédominance de la correction est par rapport aux idées, pour le contenu du texte. Dans ce sens, les professeurs se rendent compte du valeur et de la hiérarchisation des idées discutées par les élèves, les reconnaître comme l'organisation de la sémantique et la séquence du texte. Tous les autres aspects (structurelles, grammaticaux) sont importants, cependant, en général, dans la pratique de correction des études, l‟exposition les idées occupent une place importante. Les marques de correction apparaissent sous la forme de petits billets, qui apprécie également toutes les étapes de l'écriture de texte

Analisando conhecimentos e práticas de agentes educacionais e professoras relacionados à alimentação infantil

Objetivou-se identificar os conhecimentos e as práticas relacionados à alimentação de crianças entre zero e três anos, a fim de complementar a formação das profissionais que trabalham com crianças, na área da educação nutricional. O procedimento metodológico seguiu as orientações do estudo de caso, com abordagem qualitativa. Os saberes e as práticas das participantes do estudo foram analisados por meio de questões abertas e fechadas e das observações dos tópicos relacionados à nutrição infantil, juntamente com os dados sobre a formação dessas profissionais. Pode-se concluir que tanto as agentes educacionais quanto as professoras de Ensino Infantil são detentoras de um conhecimento sobre Nutrição Infantil, porém a preocupação maior destas foi atender as necessidades nutricionais das crianças por meio de uma boa alimentação, deixando, em segundo plano, as atividades pedagógicas, as quais poderiam ser realizadas em um programa de educação nutricional, construído coletivamente e inserido no projeto político-pedagógico da escola.

Habilidades sociais e problemas de comportamento de pré-escolares: comparando avaliações de mães e de professoras

Foram utilizados o Questionário de Comportamentos Socialmente Adequados e a Escala Comportamental Infantil, versões para pais e professores. Os principais resultados foram: (a) mães e professoras de crianças sem problemas não diferiram na avaliação das habilidades sociais, mas diferiram quanto aos problemas, percebidos em nível mais alto pelas mães; (b) mães e professoras de crianças com problemas diferiram na avaliação dos problemas de comportamento e das habilidades sociais; as mães perceberam mais habilidades e menos problemas; (c) diferenças de gênero foram encontradas apenas para problemas de comportamento das crianças com problemas. Os resultados indicam a necessidade de ter diferentes informantes, em diferentes contextos, na avaliação do comportamento de crianças.

Estresse entre professoras do ensino fundamental de escolas públicas estaduais

O artigo relata pesquisa que visou, entre outros objetivos, identificar a presença do estresse, a sintomatologia e as fases apresentadas pelos professores de 1ª a 4ª série do Ensino Fundamental atuantes em escolas públicas estaduais de uma cidade do Interior de São Paulo. Participaram do estudo 175 professores, perfazendo, aproximadamente, 70% dos profissionais de Ensino Básico I (PEB-I) em atuação no município. Para obtenção dos objetivos foram utilizados dois instrumentos de coleta de dados: o ISSL (Inventário de Sintomas de Estresse) e um questionário para caracterizar a população pesquisada. A pesquisa revelou que 56,6% dos professores estão experimentando estresse, cujos principais sintomas presentes são: sensação de desgaste físico constante, cansaço constante, tensão muscular, problemas com a memória, irritabilidade excessiva, cansaço excessivo, angústia/ansiedade diária, pensar constantemente em um só assunto e irritabilidade sem causa aparente.

Da acusação às professoras pelo aprisionamento do sujeito em um diagnóstico a uma interrogação acerca da posição do analista

This study arises with two questionings: what is the usefulness of a diagnosis in school? And what moves that demand for diagnosis? Such questions were drawn up in answer to a diagnostic demand produced in the context of our internship in Scholar/Educational Psychology. On the perspective of working these issues, we conducted a literature research on diagnosis, with regard to its history, as a review of the psychoanalytic literature about the subject. This venture led us to a new interrogation: what are the elaborations that teachers produce from the child diagnosis, which place her as having special educational needs? The need of deciding the method that would lead us to answer such question, taking as reference the psychoanalytic theory, led us to an incursion to the subject research in psychoanalysis. This tracking points us that, according to Freud, on what comes to psychoanalysis, theory and research go together and that psychoanalysis is not a totalitarian world vision. On Lacan, the research is from the analysand, research that always implies the analyst and its praxis. Such path forced us to position a change to question the positions we occupy, in this experience, guided by an analytical listening. To discuss our position, we started from two cases and submitted them to construction and analysis. As a result, we found out that there is no way to know in advance what will be done from a diagnosis, which will be its uses. Point we used to considerate devastating to a child. So, to us, all children that received a diagnosis would be destined to a tragedy and what the research has shown us is that not always, not all of them. Thus, more than knowing what moves the demand, the important is the subject uses and our position towards it so they can generate a work

Saberes docentes na organização do ensinio-aprendizagem: uma construção reflexiva com professoras do ensino fundamental

The present study has the objective to analyze with teachers from Elementary School the knowledge mobilized in the organization of the teaching-learning process, and its implications in the exploitation of that process. The investigation was developed with two teachers from the first years of the Elementary School, from a public school in Pau dos Ferros-RN. It adopts as basis the notion of knowledge as a set of individual and social relations that the individuals maintain with the world and with themselves, in the teaching and learning relation. (CHARLOT, 2000). It considers yet that the knowledges are immediate processes, reconstructed and mobilized by the practice of reflection, in dialogical and interactional contexts in contact with others. (BAKHTIN, 2002, 2003; VYGOTSKY, 1991, 2004, 2005). The collaborative approach was the theoretical and methodological background that oriented the investigative-educative process. By choosing a collaborative research as basis of the investigative pathway, it starts from the knowledge that the critical and collaborative reflection developed with the teachers from the first years of the Elementary School contribute to explicitate and resignify the meanings assigned to the knowledges that these teachers mobilize in the organization of the teaching-learning and its implications in this process. The results of the reflexive and investigative process developed with the teachers demonstrate that the familiar, scholastic, academic, professional, and the work knowledges lived, constitute the consciousness of being a teacher, and that these knowledges implicate in the dynamics of the process of teaching-learning, but not always the teachers take consciousness about these knowledges. The critical and collaborative reflection, mediated by the actions of describing, announcing, facing and reconstructing allowed to the participants of the research to realize the knowledges of themselves and of the other, the difficulties and possibilities in the organization of the teaching-learning process

As dimensões dos valores e da participação política em projetos de professoras: abordagens sobre os resíduos sólidos

Este trabalho aborda elementos relativos às dimensões dos valores e da participação política, desenvolvidos por professoras, quando da elaboração de projetos temáticos sobre resíduos sólidos. A análise representa um momento da investigação dos processos de educação continuada de professoras de séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, de São Carlos, SP, ao aprender e ensinar conteúdos relativos à temática ambiental, com foco nos resíduos sólidos. Apontamos na discussão dos dados que as professoras freqüentemente não reconhecem os limites da dimensão dos conhecimentos, o que provavelmente dificulta a percepção das possibilidades de desenvolvimento do trabalho com as dimensões dos valores éticos e da participação política. Analisamos, para estas dimensões, alguns aspectos que se destacaram na pesquisa realizada.

O desenvolvimento do conhecimento pedagógico do conteúdo de sexualidade na vivência das professoras

Através da utilização do método fenomenológico foram realizadas entrevistas individuais com três professoras do Ensino Fundamental, que trabalham na rede municipal de ensino de Uberlândia. A partir da análise dessas entrevistas, foi possível apontar algumas conclusões a respeito do desenvolvimento profissional de professores e sua relação com um ensino efetivo.

Memória de velhas professoras: a natureza e a relação sociedade-natureza

Este artigo tem como objetivo identificar, a partir da memória de velhas professoras, as concepções de natureza e de relação sociedade-natureza presentes nos depoimentos de professoras que atuaram na rede pública estadual de uma cidade do interior do estado de São Paulo, nas décadas de 1960 e 1970. Constatou-se, por meio das leituras das narrativas, que as professoras apresentam a natureza por meio de diferentes concepções. No que diz respeito à relação sociedade-natureza, evidencia-se a relação conflituosa que se estabelece entre o homem e a natureza. No geral, o homem foi apresentado como aquele que destrói a natureza, caracterizado pelas professoras como ruim e ignorante. Tentar compreender como a natureza e a relação sociedade-natureza se fazem presentes na memória dessas professoras pode contribuir para a construção de novas formas de relação sociedade-natureza nos dias atuais.
