Ensino dos números racionais comparando medidas de unidade

This research aimed to investigate the possibility to develop the process of teaching and learning of the division of rational numbers with guided tasks in interpretation of measure. Adopted as methodology the Didactic Engineering and a didactic sequence in order to develop the work with students of High School. Participated of training sessions twelve students of one state school of Porto Barreiro city - Paran´a. The results of application of the didactic engineering suggest the importance of utilization of guided tasks in interpretation of measure, since strengthened the understanding, on the part of students, the concept of division of fractional rational numbers and contributed for them develop the comprehension of others questions associated to the concept of rational numbers, such as order, equivalence and density.

Estatística com projetos: uma alternativa de ensino e aprendizagem

This work presents the use of projects as an alternative for teaching statistics, for that it was elaborated a Project that involves the educational socioeconomic reality from the families of the students and built a link between the reality and the scholastic knowledge. This project was applied in Sesi School - Pato Branco between the months of August to September 2014 with 25 students from the 1o and 2o grades from High School. To work the statistics concepts a questionnaire was applied for the parents of the students of the Project´s, they answer it and through these answers the students made frequency tables and graphs, besides measure calculations on measures of central tendency and dispersion measure. All of the construction were realized manually and in the Excel spreadsheet and some of them were chosen to be in this work to with the purpose of showing the hits and the mistakes done. The students worked in groups of 5 students, except in the last class when it was done a test referring to the contents taught in the classroom and a questionnaire for them to evaluate the project´s application. The results show that the teaching of Statistics trough projects motivate the students interest, stimulating the statistical reasoning, in addition made the students know a Math that was different from the one they have already known, with a lot of calculation but with no final objective.

Metodologia de ensino do conceito de função exponencial à luz da teoria das situações didáticas

This essay presents a proposal on methodology over the mathematical object Exponential Function which enables the development of interpretative and creative skills with potential meaning to the students starting from a didactic sequence structured on the light of The Theory of Didactic Situations from Guy Brousseau and, from the Records of Semiotic Representation of Duval, providing interactions among the students, the teacher and the environment of cooperative learning where the students feel free to express their own ideas as well as to suggest their own approaches. The methodology presented has been developed according to the students first knowledge, valuing their different ways of registering, which have such an important role during the teaching and learning processes. The proposal has been applied to the students from the first year of high school of Colégio Estadual José de Anchieta Ensino Fundamental e Médio, located in a town called Dois Vizinhos –Paraná. In order to the development of the research the methodological tool Didactic Engineering Artigue which consists in a methodology developed only to the research with didactic situations. The main goal has been reached at first, which was to work on the conceptual part of the Exponential Function, the relation of dependence and its main characteristic so that the variable part is in the exponent. Moreover with no imposition but starting from suitable didactic situations, the students were able to realize that they could solve the problems which involve the exponential function and furthermore create new problems (according to their universe) modeled by this kind of function. Its believed that the methodology based on the theory of didactic situations, analysis of students registers, observation on mistakes and obstacles as well as reflections over the aspects of the didactic contract are of fundamental importance to the teaching practice and determinant during the teaching-learning process.

Motivação no trabalho voluntário: expectativas e motivos na Pastoral da Criança

The present study has proposed a structural model to identify the reasons why individuals become voluntary, keep and exit this type of work. The empirical space was the Pastoral da Criança - social action agency of the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil (CNBB) - community-based institution that has its work based on solidarity and the sharing of knowledge. The theoretical framework has the context in which are volunteering studies in Brazilian and world level. Then discuss the various concepts of volunteering and presented the theoretical models of volunteer motivation. Studies of Mostyn (1983) and studies conducted by the BEPEGE-Base for Studies and Research in Management Policies and Strategies - in their line of research GERQUAL - Human Resource Management and Organizational Quality - of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte as Carvalho e Souza(2006), Souza, Medeiros e Fernandes (2006), Souza et al (2009, 2010), Cavalcante et al (2011a, 2011b, 2011c, 2011d) were the main theoretical references for the construction of the model that was tested. Data collection was done through a survey with 71 indicators, in 2 visits to cities from the Diocese of Pesqueira, Pernambuco. The first data collection occurred in the period between May 30 and June 3, 2011, in Buique/PE and the second collection happened in Pesqueira/PE, in St. Joseph Seminary, in the period between July 6-8, 2011. 720 questionnaires were collected. The sample was divided into two parts. Exploratory Factor Analysis was applied in first part and Confirmatory Factor Analysis - structural equation modeling - in the second half. The examination of the results achieved by the expectations, reasons for entry, reasons for staying and exit reasons showed that all hypotheses were accepted. So the motivation of voluntary Pastoral da Criança can be explained by a set of interactions between these five constructs: Altruistic, Affectionate, Amiable, Adjusted and Astute

O argumento de inclusão enquanto política de acesso à universidade pública

There are a great number of evidences showing that education is extremely important in many economic and social dimensions. In Brazil, education is a right guaranteed by the Federal Constitution; however, in the Brazilian legislation the right to the three stages of basic education: Kindergarten, Elementary and High School is better promoted and supported than the right to education at College level. According to educational census data (INEP, 2009), 78% of all enrolments in College education are in private schools, while the reverse is found in High School: 84% of all matriculations are in public schools, which shows a contradiction in the admission into the universities. The Brazilian scenario presents that public universities receive mostly students who performed better and were prepared in elementary and high school education in private schools, while private universities attend students who received their basic education in public schools, which are characterized as low quality. These facts have led researchers to raise the possible determinants of student performance on standardized tests, such as the Brazilian Vestibular exam, to guide the development of policies aimed at equal access to College education. Seeking inspiration in North American models of affirmative action policies, some Brazilian public universities have suggested rate policies to enable and facilitate the entry of "minorities" (blacks, pardos1, natives, people of low income and public school students) to free College education. At the Federal University of the state Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), the first incentives for candidates from public schools emerged in 2006, being improved and widespread during the last 7 years. This study aimed to analyse and discuss the Argument of Inclution (AI) - the affirmative action policy that provides additional scoring for students from public schools. From an extensive database, the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) technique was used as well as a Quantile Regression considering as control the variables of personal, socioeconomic and educational characteristics of the candidates from the Brazilian Vestibular exam 2010 of the Federal University of the state Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). The results demonstrate the importance of this incentive system, besides the magnitude of other variables

Gestão compartilhada de P&D em petróleo:a interação entre a Petrobrás e a Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

This work addresses the relationship between University-Firm aims to understand the model of shared management of R&D in petroleum of Petrobras with UFRN. This is a case study which sought to investigate whether the model of cooperation established by the two institutions brings innovation to generate technical-scientific knowledge and contribute to the coordination with other actors in the promotion of technological innovation. In addition to desk research the necessary data for analysis were obtained by sending questionnaires to the coordinators of projects in R&D at the company and university. Also, interviews were conducted with subjects who participated in the study since its inception to the present day. This case study were analysed through the Resource-Based View and Interorganizational Networks theory. The sample data also stands that: searches were aligned to the strategic planning and that 29% of R&D projects have been successful on the scope of the proposed objectives (of which 11% were incorporated into business processes); which was produced technical and scientific knowledge caracterized by hundreds of national and international publications; thesis, dissertations, eleven patents, and radical and incremental innovations; the partnership has also brought benefits to the academic processes induced by the improved infrastructure UFRN and changing the "attitude" of the university (currently with national prominence in research and staff training for the oil sector). As for the model, the technical point of view, although it has some problems, it follows that it is appropriate. From the viewpoint of the management model is criticized for containing an excess of bureaucracy. From the standpoint of strategic allocation of resources from the legal framework needs to be reassessed, because it is focused only on the college level and it is understood that should also reach the high school given the new reality of the oil sector in Brazil. For this it is desirable to add the local government to this partnership. The set of information leads to the conclusion that the model is identified and named as a innovation of organizational arrangement here known as Shared Management of R&D in petroleum of Petrobras with UFRN. It is said that the shared management model it is possible to exist, which is a simple and effective way to manage partnerships between firms and Science and Technology Institutions. It was created by contingencies arising from regulatory stand points and resource dependence. The partnership is the result of a process of Convergence, Construction and Evaluation supported by the tripod Simplicity, Systematization and Continuity, important factors for its consolidation. In practice an organizational arrangement was built to manage innovative university-industry partnership that is defined by a dyadic relationship on two levels (institutional and technical, therefore governance is hybrid), by measuring the quarterly meetings of systematic and standardized financial contribution proportional to the advancement of research. These details have led to the establishment of a point of interaction between the scientific and technological-business dimension, demystifying they are two worlds apart

El papel de la cooperación sur-sur en materia de educación técnica en Haití después del terremoto del 2010: estudio de caso: Brasil y Ecuador (2010-2015)

El presente estudio de caso analiza el papel de la Cooperación Sur-Sur (CSS) proveída por Brasil y Ecuador en materia de Educación Técnica en Haití después del terremoto del 2010 hasta el año 2015. Bajo el entendido que la CSS busca intercambiar, por medio de proyectos, los conocimientos y técnicas en los cuales estos países tienen experiencia, una de las formas de cooperación que tienen Brasil y Ecuador frente a Haití está basada en brindar capacidades en materia de Educación Técnica, con el fin de incentivar el desarrollo del recurso humano en los diferentes sectores a los cuales ésta va dirigida. En ese sentido, se escogieron dichos países al ser dos de los que más aportaron de América del Sur mediante la Educación Técnica hacia Haití después del terremoto. De ésta forma queda demostrado que por medio del intercambio de conocimientos, se puede hacer una apuesta fundamental al desarrollo de un país, enseñando y capacitando a personal de áreas específicas, con el ánimo de aumentar las capacidades productivas.

A ESPACIALIDADE DAS INDÚSTRIAS DE ALTA TECNOLOGIA E DAS INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO SUPERIOR NO TERRITÓRIO BRASILEIRO ATUAL

Neste artigo temos por objetivo geral analisar a distribuição espacial das instituições de ensino superior e das indústrias de alta tecnologia no território brasileiro. Para isto, nos utilizamos do referencial teórico, ao buscar referências bibliográficas que discutissem sobre o desenvolvimento dos pólos tecnológicos e das instituições de ensino superior. Como categorias de análise geográfica, utilizamos: espaço urbano, território e região. No referencial empírico, devido à dimensão do universo de pesquisa e da escala geográfica adotada, utilizamos fontes de dados secundárias, coletadas em institutos pesquisa estatais (INEP, IBGE, RAIS, ANTT e INFRAERO). A partir das técnicas de georreferenciamento dos dados coletados para os 5.564 municípios brasileiros elaboramos mapas temáticos, que nos permitiu compreender a distribuição das instituições estudadas, bem como as relações entre elas. As indústrias de alta tecnologia no Brasil se associam espacialmente e organizacionalmente com as instituições de ensino superior para capacitação de mão-de-obra, e secundariamente, para desenvolver novas tecnologias, visto que no Brasil estas indústrias são caracterizadas mais pela difusão de tecnologias de ponta, do que de fato pelo desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias em si.

“DO REAL ABSTRATO AO REAL CONCRETO”: UMA PROPOSTA DE TRABALHO DE CAMPO EM PARATY/RJ

Nessa busca incessante de compreensão da realidade e de correlação entre os diferentes fenômenos que envolvem a vida em sociedade é que o professor de Geografia tenta reforçar a importância da dimensão espacial nos currículos escolares. Assim, busca-se um ensino de Geografia pautado em elementos teóricos que, em conjunto, possam dotar o aluno de uma competência intelectual capaz de ampliar a sua compreensão da dinâmica do mundo à sua volta. Nesse sentido, este trabalho procurou resgatar o caminho percorrido na construção teórico-metodológica, execução e resultado de um trabalho de campo, desenvolvido na cidade histórica brasileira de Paraty-RJ pelos alunos do 2º Ano do Ensino Médio do Colégio de Aplicação João XXIII/ UFJF/ Brasil e que culminou com a produção, pelos alunos, de um pequeno vídeo documentário. Dessa forma, se o espaço é, a priori, um conceito abstrato, ele ganhou dimensão real e concreta quando da realização deste trabalho, em uma cidade notadamente marcada por morfologias que nos remetem, concomitantemente, ao “antigo e ao moderno”. Partindo de determinadas formas urbanas, mas não nos restringindo a elas, avançamos numa tentativa de melhor compreensão dos complexos e atuais processos de (re) produção urbana, com todas as dinâmicas que a envolvem e sustentam.

GEOGRAFIA DA REALIDADE E REALIDADE GEOGRÁFICA: SUBJETIVIDADE E CIÊNCIA PRESENTES EM CONCEITOS GEOGRÁFICOS QUE CARACTERIZAM A VIDA

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar ao leitor uma compreensão da realidade observada, percebida e vivida pelo homem, ator efetivo do espaço geográfico e responsável por profundas transformações em seu meio ambiente. Os conceitos Geografia da realidade e realidade geográfica são decorrentes da análise de imagens que obtemos a partir da leitura de diferentes tipos de textos, que carregam consigo a importância da interpretação dos conceitos que constituem o conhecimento geográfico. Comprovar de que maneira o homem constitui sua própria compreensão da realidade foi a proposta para a elaboração da tese de doutorado da autora, que utilizou para análise as apostilas de Geografia – Ensino Médio referentes ao programa de Educação a Distância Telecurso 2000, associando-as a textos de caráter didático e literário, sendo este “Os Sertões”, de Euclides da Cunha. Consolidando a análise proposta, foram utilizados diferentes textos de caráter científico com o propósito de formular questões reflexivas e até comprobatórias da importância das imagens que elaboramos e/ou evocamos durante o processo de (re)construção do conhecimento. Como produto, encontramos imagens que nos permitem uma visão do mundo associada a aspectos elementares de nosso cotidiano, nem sempre valorizado ou considerado como integrante do saber submetido aos rigores da ciência.
