Refletindo sobre a Prática Pedagógica em 1.º e 2.º CEB. Conceções dos alunos de 1.º e 2.º CEB sobre o papel do professor

v Resumo O presente relatório surge no âmbito da realização do Mestrado em Ensino do 1.º e 2.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico e encontra-se dividindo em duas partes distintas que são complementares: a dimensão reflexiva e a dimensão investigativa. Na dimensão reflexiva é realizada uma viagem que relembra alguns dos momentos mais marcantes por mim vivenciados em contexto de Prática Pedagógica de 1.º e 2.º CEB. Durante o reviver desse percurso, é realizada uma reflexão fundamentada das evoluções que ocorreram ao longo do tempo, que me foram permitindo tornar na professora que sou hoje. Na dimensão investigativa é realizada uma investigação que surge num desejo intenso de querer compreender mais o mundo onde a criança vive, aliando essa vontade com um tema pertinente para a minha futura profissão. Esta investigação foi realizada numa turma de 1.º CEB (3.º ano de escolaridade) e numa turma de 2.º CEB (6.º ano de escolaridade) e teve como objetivo perceber as conceções dos alunos de 1.º e 2.º CEB sobre o papel do professor, bem como se estas se alternavam consoante o nível de escolaridade. Para a recolha de dados recorreu-se a um inquérito por questionário e também à análise documental, nomeadamente, desenhos realizados pelos alunos. Os resultados obtidos, na sua maioria, representam o professor como aquele que tem o papel de transmitir conhecimentos. A maior parte das conceções dos alunos de ambos os ciclos apontam para uma perspetiva tradicionalista do professor, como uma figura distante que detém a autoridade e todo o conhecimento. Por outro lado, surgem ideias mais atuais sobre o papel do professor, como a inclusão, referida pelos alunos do 2.º CEB e a participação ativa dos alunos na planificação das tarefas desenvolvidas em sala de aula, referida pelos alunos do 1.º CEB.

O PROFESSOR DE GEOGRAFIA NO BRASIL: ALGUMAS CONSIDERAÇÕES SOBRE O PROCESSO HISTÓRICO DE FORMAÇÃO

A proposta tem como principal objetivo buscar o processo histórico brasileiro que definiu a articulação entre bacharelado e licenciatura de Geografia no plano da formação do professor, valorizando uma estrutura que desconsidera a especificidade da sua função (professor). Esses Cursos procuram reproduzir, com deficiência, a grade curricular específica do seu análogo voltado ao desenvolvimento técnico-científico sem considerar o plano educativo da profissão. Assim, freqüentemente, se observa Cursos de Geografia voltados à formação do magistério em nível de 3º grau que prestigiam uma discussão acadêmica mais especializada, empobrecida pelo tempo reduzido e acrescida por disciplinas pedagógicas desvinculadas do conjunto, num painel desconexo que não consegue fornecer bases mínimas para a profissionalização do professor. Levando em conta esse contexto de formação, é importante considerar os ambientes institucionais que historicamente nortearam esse processo, valorizando o papel das Faculdades de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras na definição de uma proposta contraditória, visto que nos seus fundamentos buscavam assegurar uma visão integrada de conhecimento e praticavam, concretamente, uma formação disciplinar que distinguia o conteúdo específico do plano pedagógico. Nesse contexto, a análise da documentação institucional da proposta educacional brasileira permite constatar a ocorrência um ramo mercantil vinculado á educação em nível de Ensino Superior que trouxe para si a tarefa de qualificar pessoal para as consideradas “profissões menores”, principalmente as licenciaturas. Essas instituições, organizadas segundo critérios nitidamente empresariais, pouco se comprometeram com a habilitação profissional, contribuindo decisivamente, no caso da formação de professores, para o rebaixamento da qualidade da educação básica. A legislação que deu suporte a essa realidade educacional marca um panorama histórico que define os meandros da política econômica do país e fornece subsídios para a compreensão de projetos neoliberais.

Building an effective trade practices commission : the role of Professor Robert Baxt AO

Bob Baxt, the third Chairman of the Trade Practices Commission, served for a single three year term from 1988 to 1991. He followed Bob McComas, who had deliberately adopted a non-litigious approach to preserving the competitive process, believing that he understood business as an insider and that much of what it did was not anti-competitive, when correctly viewed. Baxt was far more pro-active in his approach, and more closely aligned with that of the first Chairman, Ron Bannerman. Baxt sought to push the frontiers of investigation and precedent, and perhaps, more significantly, sought to influence his Ministers, the government, public servants and public opinion about the need to expand the coverage of the Trade Practices Act, increase penalties and properly resource the Commission so that it could perform its assigned roles. This article examines Baxt’s early and on-going role in teaching Australian students and professionals through his interdisciplinary Trade Practices Workshops, the political context of Baxt’s tenure, including his relations with the Attorney-General ,Michael Duffy, and his skilful handling of the Queensland Wire case.

Professor Emeritus Leo G Carney Optometry's quiet achiever

Perhaps more than any other sub-discipline in optometry and vision science, the academic field of cornea and contact lenses is populated by an assortment of extroverted and flamboyant characters who constantly travel the world, entertaining clinicians with dazzling audiovisual presentations, informing them about the latest advances in the field and generally promoting their own scientific agendas. The antithesis of this is Leo Carney (Figure 1), a highly accomplished researcher, teacher, mentor and administrator, who has quietly and with great dignity carved out an impressive career in academic optometry. Indeed, Leo Carney is optometry's quintessential ‘quiet achiever’

GATEKEEPING, GATEWATCHING, REALIMENTAÇÃO EM TEMPO REAL: novos desafios para o Jornalismo

Faz vários anos que se sabe como os blogueiros e outros comentaristas on-line independentes criticam, corrigem, e de outra maneira desafiam o jornalismo convencional, porém isto ainda não foi plenamente aceito pelos jornalistas; as hostilidades entre as empresas de mídia e a nova geração de jornalistas cidadãos continuam a irromper de vez em quando. O antigo monopólio de gatekeeping mantido pela mídia de massa tem sido desafiado pela nova prática de gatewatching: feita pelos blogueiros individuais e pelas comunidades de comentaristas que podem não fazer reportagem das notícias de primeira mão, porém fazem a curation e avaliam as notícias e outras informações fornecidas pelas fontes oficiais, e assim prestam um serviço importante. E isto ocorre atualmente com cada vez mais rapidez, quase em tempo real: usando as redes sociais mais recentes, que divulgam, compartilham, comentam, questionam e desacreditam as matérias noticiosas dentro de minutos, e usando plataformas adicionais que possibilitam a colaboração ad hoc rápida e eficaz entre os usuários. Quando centenas de voluntários podem provar dentro de alguns poucos dias que um ministro alemão foi culpado de plágio sério, quando o mundo inteiro fica sabendo de terremotos e tsunamis pelo Twitter – como é que o jornalismo consegue acompanhar tudo isto?

The Deleuze Spray, New York 1977 : an Interview with Sanford Kwinter, Professor of Architectural Theory and Criticism at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, on the Architectural Reception of Gilles Deleuze in America

So what do you want to know? I was in Paris between ‘75 and ‘78. But about half way through, Sylvère published the Anti-Oedipus issue of Semiotext(e) and, actually, that was for me one of the deciding events that made me decide to come to the United States, to come study at Columbia University. There appeared to be this little group working at Columbia working around these issues. In 1970, in Paris even, Deleuze was a cult – there was an incredibly small number of people following Deleuze... A transcript of my Interview with Kwinter about the Architectural Reception of Deleuze in America, which took place at Jerry’s,' Soho, New York, 15 January 2003. The transcript appeared as an Appendix at the back of my Masters Thesis undertaken at Yale School of Architecture, printed May 2003.

Practical Advice to Entrepreneurs Series by ACE Adjunct Professor Dean Shepherd: Practical advice on whether to act entrepreneurially

The author, Dean Shepherd, is interested in the psychology of entrepreneurship — how entrepreneurs think, decide to act, and feel. He recently realized that while his publications in academic journals have implications for entrepreneurs, those implications have remained relatively hidden in the text of the articles and hidden in articles published in journals largely inaccessible to those involved in the entrepreneurial process. This series is designed to bring the practical implications of his research to the forefront.
