El trabajo que se presenta en este artículo tiene como objetivo conocer los criterios y decisiones de los profesores universitarios para evaluar el aprendizaje de los estudiantes, y analizar la incidencia de estos factores en la calidad del aprendizaje. Para ello se ha contado con la colaboración de un grupo de profesores de la Universidad de Girona que nos han proporcionado las demandas de evaluación que formulan a través de los exámenes y las respuestas escritas de los estudiantes a estas demandas. Complementariamente se ha realizado una entrevista a los profesores colaboradores para conocer sus criterios e intenciones al realizar la evaluación. Entre las conclusiones obtenidas de este estudio destacaríamos la relación que se produce entre la tipología de pregunta y la demanda formulada, la diversidad de criterios de evaluación existente y la complejidad que supone evaluar la calidad del aprendizaje

This paper explores student and teacher perspectives of challenges relating to the levels of competence in English of Chinese students studying overseas from the perspective of critical pedagogy. It draws on two complementary studies undertaken by colleagues at the University of Reading. The first—a research seminar attended by representatives from a wide range of UK universities—presents the views of teachers and administrators; the second draws on four case studies of the language learning of Chinese postgraduate students during their first year of study in the UK, and offers the student voice. Interview and focus group data highlight the limitations of current tests of English used as part of the requirements for university admission. In particular, university teachers expressed uncertainty about whether the acceptance of levels of written English which fall far short of native-speaker competence is an ill-advised lowering of standards or a necessary and pragmatic response to the realities of an otherwise uneven playing field. In spite of this ambivalence, there is evidence of a growing willingness on the part of university teachers and support staff to find solutions to the language issues facing Chinese students, some of which require a more strategic institutional approach, while others rely on greater flexibility on the part of individuals. Although the studies reported in this paper were based on British universities, the findings will also be of interest to those involved in tertiary education in other English-speaking countries which are currently attracting large numbers of Chinese students.

The objective of this study was to investigate the elements that contribute to the state of stress which often affects those who embrace the university teaching career, and also to learn whatever strategies professors use to cope with stressing situations in order to develop resilience and a sound exercise of their profession. To the very nature of university teaching belong a variety of attributions, demands and challenges which, together, may contribute to the development of stress. The epistemological principles which guided this research were those of Complex Thinking, which facilitate a deeper comprehension of the human and social phenomena as viewed through the lens of complexity principles: the dialogical principle, the organizational recursivity principle and the hologramatical principle. Fully acknowledging the many difficulties brought about by any attempt that would try to explain human phenomena based only on one theoretical reference, we have elected multi-referentiality as the support for this study, thus being able to dialogue with a variety of authors about the same phenomenon. This was a qualitative research in which questionnaires and interviews were used as instruments for the empirical work. The data has been articulated into categories and subcategories, allowing for a thematic analysis. Participants of the study were seventeen professors from two different colleges in the city of Natal, state of Rio Grande do Norte. Bad working conditions, demands from the institution, student s lack of commitment, long working hours, low salaries, lack of incentives to university teachers, uncertainty concerning timetable and difficulties in proper time administration are the variables that contribute to the stress of professors. Although this is a problem that affects the group as a whole, strategies to cope with it are individually sought and vary from trying to find different leisure options, opening one s heart to colleagues or relatives, individual planning, prayer, rational facing of the situation, to simply giving in to exhaustion. The study has proposed institutional as well as personal actions that may foster a development among professors which takes into account a resilience development in a collective perspective. Also, it shows some articulations that are already under way so that professors may be attended to.

Na pesquisa investigou-se como docentes universitários em Educação Física conceituam didática. Realizou-se revisão da literatura abordando história e conceituações da didática. Utilizando-se a técnica de entrevista e análise qualitativa, coletou-se e analisou-se depoimentos de treze docentes universitários oriundos do mestrado em Educação Física. Com o método de abordagem histórico constatou-se que a didática esteve articulada às tendências pedagógicas: tradicional, escola nova, tecnicista e progressista e é conceituada como disciplina, área de estudos e técnica de ensino. Como técnica pode ser entendida no sentido amplo, referindo-se a procedimentos de levar alguém a aprender algo e no sentido pedagógico apresenta os procedimentos atrelados à questões sócio-morais. Os depoimentos coletados revelaram que os docentes universitários entendem a didática no sentido amplo. Conclui-se que na formação destes docentes universitários a didática foi abordada apenas como técnica de ensino, apesar de sua trajetória histórica e a prática pedagógica estarem diretamente ligadas aos rumos da educação.

Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa sobre a formação de professores da universidade que atuam em licenciaturas de Física, Biologia e Matemática, procurando compreendê-la a partir de sua participação em um projeto de formação continuada de professores da rede pública de ensino. O referencial teórico, apoiado em Pierre Bourdieu e Paulo Freire, possibilitou a constituição de instrumentos para caracterizar o processo de formação como construção coletiva de uma estrutura formativa. Para isso, foi necessário considerar tanto a interação de professores da universidade entre si como aquela entre eles e os professores da escola. Os resultados revelaram que o envolvimento dos professores da universidade no projeto possibilitou-lhes a produção de conhecimento em um domínio para o qual normalmente não são chamados a fazê-lo, na prática da vida universitária, a saber: a docência.

Esta dissertação corporifica o trabalho de pesquisa pautado na identificação e análise dos processos identitários presentes nas práticas discursivas de professores de licenciatura da Universidade Federal do Pará. O trabalho investigativo foi balizado por uma questão/problema orientada a levantar que posições identitárias são vivenciadas por docentes em sua trajetória de vida e percurso profissional. O principal objetivo deste estudo, portanto, foi verificar de que forma se processa a movimentação identitária de docentes durante a sua trajetória de formação e atuação. O aporte teórico e metodológico foi orientado por contribuições foucaultianas e larroseanas que permitiram o exercício de problematização, questionamento, desconstrução e atribuição de sentido às narrativas coletadas. Permitiram, ainda, entender a docência como um campo perspectivado e as identidades como dispositivos marcados pela diferença. Foram coletadas informações a partir da discursividade produzida em narrativas de dois professores de licenciaturas do Campus Universitário de Castanhal. Dentre os resultados mais significativos se encontra o de que a atuação de docentes na UFPA os coloca em lugares bastante diversificados, sendo eles, em todo momento, interpelados por um processo discursivo que tenta impor-lhes identificações e posturas a serem seguidas, bem como, condicionamentos sobre quem deve ser e que identidades assumir. Entende-se ser necessário refazer, reinventar, desconstruir e construir outras identidades e outros papéis à docência nos jogos de poder/saber.

Esta dissertação desenvolve-se a partir da pesquisa qualitativa que tem como objetivo analisar como os professores formadores compreendem a formação de professores de matemática. A pesquisa está vinculada ao Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação de Ciências e Matemáticas (PPGECM) do Instituto de Educação Matemática e Científica (IEMCI) da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA). O Estudo envolve onze professores formadores do Curso de Licenciatura em Matemática do Campus Universitário do Baixo Tocantins da Universidade Federal do Pará. Os instrumentos utilizados na pesquisa são os questionários e as entrevistas semiestruturadas, além de outros documentos, como: o Projeto Pedagógico do Curso e os Currículos Lattes dos formadores. Como referencial teórico, este trabalho embasa-se, principalmente, nos estudos formulados por Pimenta e Anastasiou (2005), Morosini (2001), Masetto (1998), Vasconcelos (2009), Gonçalves (2006), Cunha (2001), Chamlian (2009). Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que o processo de formação dos docentes universitários, no caso específico dos professores formadores de professores de matemática, necessita de ações formativas, que visem possibilitar, a esses profissionais, conhecimentos mais abrangentes a respeito da docência e das dimensões que estão subjacentes à mesma. Possibilitando, assim, que os formadores de professores de matemática possam refletir, compreender e transformar suas práticas formativas no exercício da docência, e na formação de futuros professores de matemática.

The way one conceives disabled people seems to influence the actions directed toward them. Occupational therapists constitute a part of health professionals that direct their actions based on a comprehensive view of disability. The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the conception of disability from the standpoint of occupational therapists. Fifteen university teachers of Occupational Therapy undergraduate courses participated in this study: seven from public universities and eight from private institutions, located in mid-sized municipalities in the state of São Paulo. The data were collected by means of a scale denominated “Escala de Avaliação da Concepção de Deficiência” (Rating Scale for Conception of Disability). The results show that the subjects tend to follow interactional, social conceptions of disability. This study yields contributions to understand the conception of disability held by teachers of Occupational Therapy. This conception certainly guides their teaching performance and affects the training of future professionals.

CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL FACTORS INFLUENCING LEAD AND COPPER CONTAMINATION IN DRINKING WATER: APPROACH FOR A CASE STUDY IN ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY. Lead and copper concentrations in drinking water increase considerably on going from municipality reservoirs to the households sampled in Ribeirao Preto (SP-Brazil). Flushing of only 3 liters of water reduced metal concentrations by more than 50%. Relatively small changes in water pH rapidly affected corrosion processes in lead pipes, while water hardness appeared to have a long-term effect. This approach aims to encourage University teachers to use its content as a case study in disciplines of Instrumental Analytical Chemistry and consequently increase knowledge about drinking water contamination in locations where no public monitoring of trace metals is in place.
