Ainda precisamos da sala de aula?: inova����o tecnol��gica, metodologias de ensino e desenho institucional nas faculdades de Direito

O reconhecimento de que a globaliza����o econ��mica, a sociedade de conhecimento e as novas tecnologias impactaram o ensino de qualquer ��rea de conhecimento �� pac��fico. O diagn��stico de que o ensino tradicional do sistema jur��dico romano-germ��nico �� marcado pela produ����o de um conhecimento descritivo e sistem��tico dos institutos e normas jur��dicas codificadas, que comp��e uma forma����o formalista e dogm��tica do direito, ancorada no protagonismo docente e sustentada em aulas excessivamente expositivas, acolhido por Garcez no presente texto, fortalece a preocupa����o sobre a pr��tica pedag��gica historicamente desenvolvida nos cursos de Direito. Essas premissas t��m mobilizado a discuss��o sobre novas pr��ticas de ensino para a forma����o jur��dica e ressaltado a import��ncia de curr��culos que se preocupem com a forma����o de compet��ncias e habilidades e valorizem mais o protagonismo discente, al��m de fazerem uso de ferramentas atuais que considerem as novas tecnologias de ensino. Dessas premissas, tamb��m nasce a pergunta que Garcez se disp��e a responder, sobre se ainda faz sentido a sala de aula.

Diagn��stico do Sistema de Tecnologia da Informa����o do Estado do Rio de Janeiro

A tecnologia de informa����o mudou nos ��ltimos anos o modo de viver, de pensar e de se relacionar das pessoas. Influenciadas pelos avan��os tecnol��gicos que se massificam cada vez mais rapidamente, as pessoas, que tamb��m s��o cidad��os dos Estados onde vivem, mudaram inclusive a forma de interagir com as institui����es. Exemplos n��o faltam nos jornais sobre esse fen��meno. Os governos n��o podem ficar para traz nessa revolu����o, que j�� se compara em escala e efeito �� revolu����o industrial do s��culo XIX, sob pena de perderem a j�� combalida legitimidade. O desafio �� grande, pois a velocidade da evolu����o t��cnica coloca mais uma press��o sobre os gestores p��blicos. Para acompanhar �� preciso modernizar a forma de administrar os ��rg��os do governo e de relaciona-los com os cidad��os e a sociedade civil. Uma gest��o da Tecnologia da Informa����o que parta dos primeiros escal��es dos governos �� condi����o inicial para mudar a forma de pensar e agir de toda burocracia. Neste estudo vamos avaliar como �� a Governan��a de TI do Estado do Rio de Janeiro em face ��s estruturas dos demais estados, considerando tamb��m as vis��es or��ament��ria e de planejamento e ainda a experi��ncia de profissionais integrantes do Sistema de Tecnologia da Informa����o do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Pretendemos extrais li����es sobre o que deve ser mantido, ampliado ou alterado no modelo de governan��a adotado.

Tempo livre de lazer e composi����o corporal de escolares do meio-oeste catarinense

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between free time for leisure and body composition of students in the crucial ninth year. (N = 228) of towns in the Midwest catarinense. We used the Adolescent Behavior Questionnaire of Santa Catarina (COMPAC) to assess lifestyle, considering that Active schoolchildren during the week, accumulated 300 or more minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Were used the time to 2 hours or more / day to determine the time of excessive use of TV and computer video game. To analyze body composition were used two criteria: the Body Mass Index (BMI) and sum of skinfolds (EDC). It was observed a proportion of 67.3% of girls and 68.7% of boys assets and more than 98% of students were using excessive TV time, computer and video game. In the classification by EDC, most of the boys showed great or low levels of body composition, while more than half of girls were classified at higher levels. As for BMI, most boys and girls had not overweight. Significant difference in the comparison of total minutes per week of MVPA reported between the groups, the second criterion of EDC and BMI for girls but not for BMI in boys. It is concluded that students with higher accumulation in minutes of MVPA showed better body composition indicators, but no significant difference was found when compared active groups with inactive, according to criteria used.

Qualidade do gasto p��blico em educa����o para os munic��pios da regi��o metropolitana de Natal-2007

The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the quality of public spending on education for the municipalities of the Metropolitan Region of Natal (RMN) in 2009 by use of two theories: The Theory of Welfare (Welfare State) and the Public Choice Theory (TEP), both important to understand the relationship between education and economics. The study also uses principles of microeconomics and public sector economics to get a better idea of the role of education in economy and society. It describes the development of the educational policy in Brazil from 1988 to the Federal Constitution of 2010, following the major changes in basic education during each government. The characteristics of the RMN municipalities were illustrated with socioeconomic indicators, while educational indicators were used to characterize each municipality regarding education. The model used in this study was developed by Bert��, Brunet and Borges, the data was collected on the back of the School Census 2009 and the Brazil Exam 2009 and it was processed quantitavely in the Information System on Public Budgets in Education (SIOPE) by use of the statistical method called standardized score of the normal cumulative distribution function. The quality of public spending on education is the result of the relation between performance indicator ratio and expense ratio. For the qualitative analysis of results, the criteria of efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness were used. The study found that municipalities with higher expenses showed a worse quality of spending and failed to convert the expenditure incurred into performance, thus confirming ineffectiveness

Ser professor de portugu��s: o que dizem os discursos reguladores, os alunos e os professores no contexto da forma����o inicial (UMINHO/Portugal e UFRN/Brasil)

The constitution of being a teacher of Portuguese occurs in a dynamic process involving various factors, such as the requirements of regulatory documents, the context of teacher formation, and the configuration of current society, per se. This study is aimed at reflecting on the initial formation of teachers of Portuguese and on official documents that face this formation, raising the following questions: (1) what does it mean to be a Portuguese teacher? (2) what is the vision of the subjects (teachers and students) involved with the formation of teaching the Portuguese Language? (3) how do these individuals deal with official documents? and (4) how do these subjects discourses relate? To understand the context of the formative processes and the knowledge inherent in them, first we take the studies of Garcia (1999) and Tardif (2002) as a theoretical framework, and to understand and interpret the utterances of the interviewees, we were grounded in the writing of Bakhtin (2003), for whom the object of the Humanities, the sciences of man, is the text, since man is, by nature, an expressive being. We situate this study in the framework of qualitative research. It is a multiple case study that focuses on two contexts: formation of teachers of Portuguese at the University of Minho, Portugal, and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The data that make up the research corpus come from documents elaborated by the Ministries of Education of Portugal and Brazil and were adopted by the two teacher formation institutions cited, from individual interviews involving eight trainer teachers (four from each university), and from two group-interviews (one in each institution), done with students in training. Our analysis is divided into three stages: first, document analysis; second, analysis of the discourse of the teachers in both contexts studied; and, third, analysis of the speech of the students in training. It is noteworthy that our purpose in this research was not to come out with a definition like being a teacher of Portuguese is X, but we are interested, above all, in discussing the issues surrounding initial formation, seeking different points of view, and hearing voices coming from different social positions for better understanding our object of study. Our analysis reveals that the initial formation of teachers of Portuguese, both in Portugal and Brazil, occurs in a complex way, under the influence of various factors, including: (a) difficulties in having the individuals involved adapt to the demands of regulatory agencies; (b) students and teachers adequacy to the organizational model of the post-secondary institution; (c) teachers difficulties to deal with the learning problems of students who have limited schooling basis and come from distinct socioeconomic realities; (d) a search for the establishment of methodologies for teaching and learning the Portuguese Language more adequate to reality; and (e) a search for a definition of professional knowledge needed for the teaching practice

An��lise dos indicadores de qualidade versus taxa de abandono utilizando m��todo de regress��o m��ltipla para servi��o de banda larga

Telecommunication is one of the most dynamic and strategic areas in the world. Many technological innovations has modified the way information is exchanged. Information and knowledge are now shared in networks. Broadband Internet is the new way of sharing contents and information. This dissertation deals with performance indicators related to maintenance services of telecommunications networks and uses models of multivariate regression to estimate churn, which is the loss of customers to other companies. In a competitive environment, telecommunications companies have devised strategies to minimize the loss of customers. Loosing customers presents a higher cost than obtaining new ones. Corporations have plenty of data stored in a diversity of databases. Usually the data are not explored properly. This work uses the Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) to establish rules and new models to explain how churn, as a dependent variable, are related to a diversity of service indicators, such as time to deploy the service (in hours), time to repair (in hours), and so on. Extraction of meaningful knowledge is, in many cases, a challenge. Models were tested and statistically analyzed. The work also shows results that allows the analysis and identification of which quality services indicators influence the churn. Actions are also proposed to solve, at least in part, this problem

Situa����o da agricultura irrigada no Brasil de acordo com o censo agropecu��rio 2006

Knowledge about irrigated agricultural area and its geographical distribution are of great importance to water resources management. Evolution of irrigated area according to the irrigation method allows an identification of rational water technologies. The aim of this work was to analyze the information presented in the agricultural census of 1995/1996 and of 2006. Brazil has an area of 4.45 million cultivated hectares with irrigation. It is noticed that according to the 1995/1996 census, the irrigated area increased 1.3 million hectares, a growth of 42%. The Southeast region surpasses the South region which had, in 1995/96, the largest irrigated area. The Northeast region is the third irrigated agricultural area with 22.12 %, while the Central-west and the Northern region together sum 14.7%.
