O professor na visão das crianças: uma pesquisa sobre a construção do conhecimento social sob o enfoque piagetiano

The focus of this paper is on the construction of social knowledge according to Piagetian constructivist theory. We present data related to the ideas of children aged seven and eight years old about the role of the teacher. We observed 52 children, both male and female, immersed in two different educative environments: one considered socio-moral constructivist and the other one, traditional. The main results showed the particular processes of the individuals when they try to comprehend the surrounding reality. The only meaningful difference between the two environments studied was related to the comprehension of the necessity of formation to develop the function of a teacher. In the other aspects observed we have not found meaningful differences concerning the representations of the subjects as well as the environment in which they participated.

Professores e pesquisa: da formação ao trabalho docente, uma tessitura possível

This paper is the result of a research called Pedagogic Research in Education Schools: Aspects of the Work Conducted by Teachers developed at the post-doctorate training level at Fundação Carlos Chagas.

The relationship between research and teachers’ training is highlighted as well as the need of a curricular restructuring in Education courses , in order to think research as a forming axis in teachers’ formation. Furthermore, the contributions of research in the teaching formation and practice is addressed, along with the study of school daily activities, focused on the necessary moment to put the assumptions underlying teachers’ practices into practice and also to experience socialization among students, teachers and other professionals in this field of knowledge.

O professor da Educação Especial e o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de alunos com autismo

This paper has as subject autism, and sought to verify how the process of teaching and learning of students with autism occurs in a special education school. The Infantile Autism is today sorted as one of the “Global Developmental Disorders (PDD)” and is characterized by a severe and global impairment in several areas of development, such as reciprocal social interaction skills, communication skills and presence of stereotypic behavior, interests and activities. This study aimed to identify the teaching methodology used with adolescents with autism in special education and see in what ways this methodology assists in the teaching and learning of these students. To this end, participated in this study a teacher, expert in this issue, and three students with autism in a Special Education School located within the State of São Paulo. For data collection, 19 observations of activities performed by students with autism in the classroom were conducted and a semi-structured interview with the specialized teacher was applied. The results revealed that the teacher mentioned above does not use any specific teaching methodology to assist in the teaching and learning of these students, although there are some specific methodologies for individuals with autism, which are used in special education schools. Thus, there is a gap in the teaching process on the part of the teacher and an uncertainty about the learning process of these students with autism in this institution.

Desafios da formação docente no curso de Pedagogia: aligeiramento e pragmatismo

This paper analyzes recent policies of teacher eduation in Brazil related to the employment and professional dimmensions of the teaching career. It analyzes teacher education policies, and the guidelines established by the World Bank in the 1990s, to reform higher education in the so-called developing countries, focusing on th implementation of neolibera educational policies. These policies have produced a "new" value for educational insititutions: they are emptying schools of education; “defertilization” of schools; “deintellectualization” of the teacher profession; pauperization, fragmentation and emptying the contents teacher education programs and recontextualization of the nexus theory-practice. The reforms after the Directives and Bases of Education - Law No. 9394/1996, with respect to the education of teachers, are analyzed in relation to the process of productive restructuring. We analyze the relation between theory and practice, given the National Curriculum Guidelines for the Education Course (DCNCP, 2006), focusing on the Course of Pedagogy for the Faculty of Philosophy and Science, at the Paulista State University, Campus of Marilia. This course offers an extensive practical training, but restricted as to the academic content offered, limiting the possibilities of an in-depth training for the future teachers. Discussing these relations, this article presents the assessment of the students in the course and concludes offering perspectives for a humanizing and critical training.

Construindo relações intergeracionais na formação de novos professores: processos de aproximação e de parceria entre professores e estagiários

Esta pesquisa pretende contribuir para a compreensão das relações estabelecidas entre estagiários de cursos de licenciatura e professores da Educação Básica, que os recebem em suas salas de aula. Mais especificamente, tem-se o objetivo de investigar os processos de aprendizagem que ocorrem no encontro entre duas gerações profissionais docentes. Nesse sentido, questiona-se: de que maneira são estruturadas as relações estabelecidas entre professor titular e estagiário na escola, como ocorrem os primeiros contatos entre as duas partes, que vínculos são então estabelecidos e que relações formativas se desenvolvem no cotidiano do estágio. Tais percepções foram propiciadas pelas entrevistas e observações realizadas e analisadas sob ótica das “relações intergeracionais na docência” (SARTI, 2009), que pressupõem atenção especial a algumas categorias, tais como: geração (MANNHEIN, 1982), identidade e ciclo de vida profissional docente (HUMBERMAN, 1992; TARDIF, 2010). A pesquisa possibilitou análises que sugerem que o fator geração profissional deva ser sempre balizado com informações sobre a história de vida profissional dos sujeitos, já que, de acordo com os dados reunidos,tais experiências pessoais exercem influências em suas relações com as novas gerações profissionais. A partir desta investigação, foi possível perceber que as relações intergeracionais na formação docente envolvem fatores sutis e importantes, que dizem respeito a aspectos relativos à geração profissional dos sujeitos, mas também a sua geração social (MANNHEIN, 1982) e ao ciclo de vida profissional docente (HUBERMAN, 1992). Esse conjunto de fatores exercem influências significativas para os contatos formativos entre estagiários e professores experientes no magistério

Avaliação da política curricular paulista: perspectiva docente sobre os cadernos do professor e do aluno

The current curriculum policy of the Secretary of Education in the State of Sao Paulo introduced into the education environment the Registrar of Teacher and Student - support material to ease the teacher's work and the student's learning, in order to address all the curriculum components created as strategy of learning. The resulting guidelines that aim to transform the everyday policies of educational institutions and the individuals who compose them, are incorporated into the school experience. These decisions, however, do not transfer into life outside the learning environment nor are they translated into the work of the teachers exactly as their creators intended. Thus, in order to better understand the curriculum policies introduced by the Registrar in schools, it is essential to comprehend the viewpoint of the teachers who themselves are both the targets and agents of curriculum policy, and later the Registrar. For that was made reflexive interviews with eigth teachers that teach in São Paulo metropolitan region, than we could see that they adapt their external determinations in their own reality

A contribuição do estágio no processo de formação docente

Partindo de uma perspectiva metodológica autobiográfica, apresento ao leitor deste trabalho, o processo de minha constituição formativa desde o momento em que ingressei no curso de Licenciatura em Pedagogia pela UNESP – campus Rio Claro, até a conclusão da última etapa dos meus estágios docentes. Os dados contidos nos diferentes registros apresentados são analisados a partir do paradigma indiciário, onde procuro encontrar detalhes que contribuíram significativamente para o meu processo de constituição docente. Aponto os aprendizados adquiridos durante a realização das quatro etapas do meu estágio docente no contexto da escola e trago uma reflexão crítica acerca das experiências tidas nesse percurso. Sinalizo a importância do estágio docente na formação do futuro professor e quais as contribuições que o mesmo traz para o curso de licenciatura, para as instituições escolares onde o estágio foi realizado e para constituição formativa do futuro educador.
