O marca-passo das emoções no ritmo de crianças portuguesas com necessidades educativas especiais (estudo de caso)

Estudo de caso (metodologia qualitativa) realizado em 2013sobre inteligência emocional em alunos portugueses, frequentando 1.º ciclo educação básica, com idades de 6-7 anos de 2 escolas urbanas:2 crianças (M=microcefalia, A=autismo atípico); 2 crianças (N= criança normal, H= perturbação de hiperatividade com défice de atenção). Os objetivos pretenderam: Demonstrar a importância das emoções na aprendizagem; identificar e lidar com as emoções em situações; propor estratégias para cada criança, aquando dos resultados obtidos com aplicação do teste projetivo e utilização material didático. Metodologia: atividades com ―Uma caixa cheia de emoções‟; prova projetiva ―Era uma vez…‖ Teresa Fagulha; ficha de anamnese aos pais; análise documental aos processos; observação participante; notas de campo e triangulação. Os resultados permitiram estabelecer estratégias para diminuir os fatores de distratibilidade, facilitar a atenção com material visualmente atrativo e manuseável e fornecer instruções acompanhadas de observação. Houve dificuldades nos sujeitos em identificar a ‘ira’ e ‘raiva‘.

A COMUNICAÇÃO MIDIATIZADA NA EAD: UM DISCURSO PEDAGÓGICO DIFERENCIADO

Analisa-se, neste trabalho, como e com quais características ocorre a comunicação pedagógica nos sistemas que atuam na modalidade Educação a Distância (EAD), modalidade esta caracterizada pela mediação de tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC). O corpus desta pesquisa é composto pelo recorte da regulamentação específica e dos debates que envolvem o Ministério da Educação (MEC) e a Secretaria de Educação a Distância (SEED), a Associação Brasileira de Educação a Distância (ABED) e os profissionais da área, abordando o período do início da vigência do Decreto n.º 5622/05, que regulamentou a EAD no Brasil, em 2005, até 2009, momento em que ocorrem, pela polifonia dos modelos existentes, a supervisão e consolidação das ofertas desta modalidade no Brasil. O objetivo maior desta investigação foi analisar e avaliar como e com quais características a comunicação pedagógica apresenta o discurso educativo nesta modalidade, enquanto categoria educacional e comunicativa, caracterizada pelo uso de TIC dentro da perspectiva social. Este estudo utilizou a metodologia da pesquisa descritiva e documental, de natureza qualitativa, num percurso em que a pesquisadora procura descobrir, com a maior precisão possível, a frequência com que o fenômeno ocorre, sua relação e conexão com outros, sua natureza e suas características. Como fonte de informação e da pesquisa documental, utilizaram-se as categorias analíticas, o aspecto histórico, legal, versus a realidade da oferta desta modalidade. Buscou-se ainda entender como e com quais características as relações entre a comunicação e a educação se materializam no discurso pedagógico, nos sistemas de Ensino Superior que ofertam a modalidade EAD. Em relação aos envolvidos SEED/MEC e ABED, existem questões ainda implicativas entre as concepções de comunicação, educação e tecnologia. Pautou-se a pesquisa na análise dos caminhos e descaminhos desta modalidade e assim pôdese verificar uma oscilação entre os atores envolvidos e a consistência teórica que dá suporte de investigação ao MEC e à SEED para a realização do acompanhamento e supervisão, na perspectiva de garantir as bases conceituais que determinam e (ou) determinarão a oferta da modalidade EAD no Ensino Superior. Em relação à Comunicação Pedagógica, percebeu-se uma fragilidade nos debates, cuja ênfase ainda é de cunho quantitativo e não qualitativo. Pela análise feita, considera-se que, em razão da polifonia dos modelos, existem muitas iniciativas, mas o discurso predominante ainda é o da democratização da expansão, o que prejudica sensivelmente o avanço da valorização humana em detrimento do uso da tecnologia, e isso impede avanços na construção dos espaços possíveis e essenciais na modalidade EAD.(AU)

DE PROFESSOR A EMPRESÁRIO: CONTRIBUIÇOES DE ANTONIO VERONEZI AO ENSINO SUPERIOR

A história da fundação e desenvolvimento de uma instituição educacional, não pode ser desvinculada dos acontecimentos do país, sobretudo se ocorrida no último meio século, período ímpar na história, em que o ensino superior se expandiu de forma acelerada, sobretudo o privado. Este estudo do ensino superior brasileiro, contemplando a história da Universidade Guarulhos, tem como pano de fundo a história de vida de seu fundador e atual Chanceler Antonio Veronezi, como método de investigação qualitativa, construído por meio de entrevistas autobiográficas. Identificando nas narrativas momentos marcantes da história da educação brasileira, foram eles contextualizados no aspecto político, econômico e social. As transformações do processo de industrialização foram também pesquisadas procurando apresentar o desenvolvimento da própria cidade de Guarulhos, geradora da demanda por ensino superior desde a década de 1970 mantida até o momento. A trajetória educacional, a entrada no setor de educação, o desenvolvimento de habilidades de gestão e a transformação do professor do ensino médio em um dos mais importantes empresários e representante do setor, dotam de sentido as questões suscitadas, que poderão ser respondidas por pesquisadores da história, da pedagogia, da linguística ou da administração, entre as quais: a democratização do acesso, a qualidade do ensino superior, as representações sociais dos gestores e a mercantilização do setor.

Normalização de dispositivos móveis no processo de aprendizagem de inglês : um estudo à luz da complexidade

We live in a world inherently influenced by technology and in which education is immersed in realities made possible by the support of digital technologies, such as electronic mobile devices. Thus, the general aim of this study lies in mapping and analysing the influence of mobile devices on teaching, especially with reference to learning the English language. The specific aims are to investigate how the use of mobile devices is present in the research participants’ practices, consider whether such use is beneficial, according to the students, to the English language learning as well as mapping how the use of mobile devices favours the normalisation stage, taken in this research as a complex process.The theoretical background of this study includes the premises of the Paradigm of Complexity, especially concerning the acquisition of a second language, as well as the precepts of Normalisation, which is related to the total integration of digital technologies into the English teaching and learning process in such a way that they become invisible, and the theories of language learning mediated by computers and mobile devices. Methodologically, this is an ethnographic qualitative research and its context is a language institute located in the Triângulo Mineiro region. In addition to students from five groups in the institution, two teachers and an administrative assistant participated in the survey. Data was collected through an online questionnaire, learning reports produced by students and interviews with teachers and administrative staff. The analyses indicate that mobile devices are present in the daily practices of English learners, but these uses, in most cases, are carried out through the teacher's encouragement. Moreover, despite having positive sayings on the role of digital technologies in the process of English teaching and learning, there is, among students and teachers, a dichotomy between saying and doing about the learning contexts considered valid. Additionally, the use of mobile devices in the English learning process is not yet established as a normalised issue because the process of integration of technology in teaching is still ruled by traditional uses of the technology. I conclude that the use of mobile devices in the English learning process is still not normalised, because even if students use their mobile devices every day, they generally do not realize the affordances of such use as possibilities to learn English.

Educação bilíngue para surdos : um estudo acerca de práticas de letramento crítico com alunos surdos usuários da Língua Brasileira de Sinais

At a time when the issue of the inclusion of hearing-impaired students in regular schools has been discussed, it becomes necessary to reflect upon the relevance of a recurrent educational process in schools specialized in education for the hearing-impaired: the bilingual schools. Such institutions, still scarce in Brazil, offer an oriented and specialized education to hearing-impaired children and adolescents, since they have the Brazilian Sign Language as a language of instruction in all subjects, and the Portuguese written language as an additional language, which gives them the bilingual status. This research aims to investigate how the practices developed in my Portuguese classes in a bilingual school have contributed to the development of student‟s literacy, specifically the Critical Literacy (STREET, 1985, 1990, 1998), in two classes of hearing-impaired students enrolled in the final grades of elementary school. It is a qualitative, ethnographic research, which uses the triangulation system for analyzing data: (i) the pedagogical sequences; (ii) the students‟ activities and (iii) the teacher‟s and students‟ written accounts registered as field notes. Through the intersection of the data, this work evaluates whether students have achieved some level of Critical Literacy, and what kind of collaboration and/or activity is relevant during this process. This research is justified by the need to evaluate practices at bilingual schools that, although supported by current law in Brazil, are still a minority whose work is still not acknowledged or valued. The results show that activities using real texts of different genres can contribute to the development of Critical Literacy, and also to dynamic classes, with discussions about relevant topics to society in Sign Language. Also, activities that encourage students to do research and that provide to the hearing-impaired student, the understanding of the real usefulness of Portuguese as an instrument for the social inclusion of the hearing-impaired providing opportunities for them to change their social position can collaborate to this process.

O tema água no ensino de ciências:uma proposta didático pedagógica elaborada com base nos três momentos pedagógicos

Science and technology are increasingly present in society’s everyday living, interfering with the appearance and social relationships, which requires from the population: knowledge, skills and actions to intervene consciously and responsibly in the new socio-cultural setting. The science education might become a great ally in the task of literacy and / or enable students to live consciously and critically in a world even more influenced by scientific and technological aspects. The aim of the dissertation is to develop a didactic-pedagogic proposal for science classes of the 6th year of elementary school, based on the "Generator Theme: Water and its treatment", involving the dynamics of the Three Pedagogic Moments. Such proposal consists of a Course which embraces seven teaching modules containing topics related to Generator Theme. The modules were designed and developed with four student groups of 6th year in twelve hours / class per group, with a total of approximately 120 students. The interpretation of the developed content, resulting from the thematic modules with students, led to the creation of five analysis categories. Considering the results, it is possible to conclude it is necessary, for successful teaching practices in the school environment, that the teachers embrace the aim of teaching in a meaningful way, drawing up activities that really recognize and include the student as an active subject of the educational and learning process. The use of activities that lead students to recognize themselves as main process actors, developing practices based on previous knowledge and on their specific learning, results in a situation which they will recognize the science in their lives, learn to be reflective and aware of their attitudes about the world where they live.

O Ensino de ligações químicas por meio do conceito de energia: uma proposta didática para o ensino médio

This work presents discussions on the teaching of Chemical Bonds in high school and some implications of this approach in learning chemistry by students. In general, understanding how the chemicals combine to form substances and compounds, it is a key point for understanding the properties of substances and their structure. In this sense, the chemical bonds represent an extremely important issue, and their knowledge is essential for a better understanding of the changes occurring in our world. Despite these findings, it is observed that the way in which this concept is discussed in chemistry class has contributed, paradoxically, to the emergence of several alternative designs, making the understanding of the subject by students. It is believed that one of the explanations for these observations is the exclusive use of the "octet rule" as an explanatory model for the Chemical Bonds. The use of such a model over time eventually replace chemical principles that gave rise to it, transforming knowledge into a series of uninteresting rituals and even confusing for students. Based on these findings, it is deemed necessary a reformulation in the way to approach this content in the classroom, taking into account especially the fact that the explanations of the formation of substances should be based on the energy concept, which is fundamental to understanding how atoms combine. Thus, the main question of the survey and described here of the following question: Can the development of an explanatory model for the Chemical Bonds in high school based on the concept of energy and without the need to use the "octet rule"? Based on the concepts and methodologies of modeling activity, we sought the development of a teaching model was made through Teaching Units designed to give subsidies to high school teachers to address the chemical bonds through the concept of energy. Through this work it is intended to make the process of teaching and learning of Chemical Bonds content becomes more meaningful to students, developing models that contribute to the learning of this and hence other basic fundamentals of chemistry.

A escola do urbano no campo do município de Catalão/GO : ensino de geografia nas especificidades do lugar

This study makes an approach to the Morro Agudo Community (Cisterna) located in Catalão city(GO) rural area where stands the Maria Bárbara Sucena Municipal School. This school center is a result of getting together several small and isolated schools, which worked, scattered in many rural communities in the region. After this centralization in a single school, many students had to move along inconvenient distance to get their classes. Morro Agudo Community (Cisterna) was outstanding at garlic cultivation throughout the 1990`s when eventually this activity came to a decline. The region is constituted by properties of small tract of land. The landowners come from a Portuguese background and there are, in addit ion, migrant workers from the northeast region of Brazil. These northeasterners work for these local landowners, and that brings an additional meaning to the social relations in the region and to the rural schooling. The social and cultural diversity of the region has a feedback at the school arising tensions in many ways. In the teaching and learning process the school deals with this diversity, combined with rules and goals that, in the end, delivers a geography teaching not able to value the local knowledge accumulated in the region by its own inhabitants. New methodological approaches to rural school communities emerged out of the analysis of these unmet expectations. Furthermore, this study takes into consideration some “residues”, that means not all events are fit into programs; there are unintended consequences in an open process. All these are object of deep review in this doctoral dissertation. In this community, an analysis of the public policies implemented by Federal and municipal governments to rural schools communities in Brazil was conducted. The way in which public policies toward rural communities are implemented at the schools was reviewed; the goals they pursue and the role played by textbooks are also object of analysis. This study questions the relevance of this tools, mainly if they meet the real needs of the local people. The social representations of teachers and students are considered carefully based on their everyday lives and experiences.

Necessidades formativas em Matemática representadas nas vozes de um grupo de professoras dos anos iniciais da rede pública de ensino

Teacher training processes, initial and continuing, and professional practice of teachers who teach Mathematics in the early years are highlighted in the literature as complex, but also are regarded as the way to overcome many difficulties in teaching this component curriculum in the school stage in question. The aim of the study was to investigate how the training needs in Mathematics are represented by a group of teachers in the early years of elementary school of public health system of the city of Uberlândia, State of Minas Gerais. The research, qualitative approach, had as object of study the training needs, in Mathematics, of teachers in the early years. The research involved 16 teachers from two schools in the municipal public schools of that city. Data were collected through questionnaires, non-participant observations, semi-structured interviews followed by group and individual. Analyses were performed by means of thematic categories, founded by content analysis. Data interpretation allowed to understand training needs in mathematics that are presented to the collaborating group from their professional practice, considering the knowledge and skills necessary to teaching. It is understood that the teachers of the study group have major limitations in relation to the specific content and didactic knowledge of Mathematics content, however, the concern is that demonstrated not always being aware of it. Moreover, the difficulties experienced in teaching practice proven to be overcome by sources and non-formal training activities, primarily through more experienced colleagues in the profession. Thus, it becomes difficult to think the initial and continuing training courses for teachers without the training needs of the teaching practice is appreciated as an object of study.
