Uma visão local de um projeto nacional: o curso mídias na educação

The essay "A local view of a national project: the course in Media Education" presents a research aimed at analyzing how the course Media in Education is being implemented by both Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte and State University of Rio Grande do Norte, with the intention of pointing out weaknesses in its use, which should be resolved in order to contribute to the design of other courses along these lines. Therefore, we performed a survey in which data collection, have used open questionnaires available in online pages created specifically for this purpose and administered to alumni and former participants, course participants and tutors from the two universities involved in the research. Through these questionnaires, we identified, especially, those aspects that negatively affect the provision of course related to the student's profile, the virtual learning environment where the course is hosted, the meetings, the contents and activities, the mentoring and the dropout, and the changes to improve the implementation of the course. The research collaborators are professors of public basic education. To understand the continuing education of teachers, conducted through distance education, using the virtual learning environment, we contextualize this from the nineties, in the context of the Brazilian educational reform took place in that decade. The Media in Education course is presented as a different proposition because it allows teachers to follow different pathways, materialized in the learning cycle. At the end of the study, we conclude that the implementation of this course, of the RN, the conditions for dialogue to happen, specifically, are not given

Mecanismos sócio-genéticos da representação social de trabalho docente por grupos de licenciandos de física e de química da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

This research aims to understand the social representations Teaching Work in groups of undergraduate students of Physics and Chemistry of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. For this, the proposal was based on the three theoretical and methodological consensus Carvalho (2012) in the explanation of socio-genetic mechanisms constituents of dynamic consensus that has functionality to your organization. It Was used to achieve this goal, the theoretical-epistemological Serge Moscovici (1978, 2003), Jodelet (2011), Wagner (1998,( 2011) and Carvalho (2012). The corpus analyzed results from a qualitative and quantitative research, developed in three stages. The first two (2) questionnaires to fifty (50) of each undergraduate course, a questionnaire and another profile for collection of free associations concerning motes inductors "Give Lesson," "Student" and "Teacher". The second step in the procedure Multiple Classifications, Roazzi (1995), aimed for another thirty (30) undergraduate students for each course, as well as Document Analysis of Educational Projects Curriculum courses in Physics and Chemistry. The data analysis of the first stage focused on descriptive statistics and frequency and average order of the words associated with motes inductors. The results from the Multiple Classification Procedure submitted to multidimensional analysis (MSA multidimensional scalogram analysis) and SSA (Similarity Structure Analysis), were interpreted by the theoretical and methodological proposal of the three consensus, supported by analysis of the rhetorical nature of justifications classifications and categorizations of words, boosted in times of application of Procedure Multiple Classification. The data revealed that the groups surveyed were the same Social Representation with specific dynamic consensual. Thinking Teaching Work for these groups it is considered in three dimensions: the BE-DO-HAVE of teaching. In the group of Physics consensus was clear semantic, which expressed a dynamic in which the interpretations of "Teaching Work" peacefully coexist on perceptions of two concepts: An identity around the "BE" "Teacher" or "BE" "Educator" and the other, how they think about professional development. The type of group consensus Chemistry pointed to a consensual logic hierarchical order in which the gradual between the elements of BE-DO-HAVE attested conflicts and disagreements about the perceptual object "Teaching Work", around what value most, whether they are the attributes of personal or professional-technical dimension of teaching, in the course of professional development. The thesis to explain the mechanisms of socio-genetic Representation Social Teaching Work by theoretical and methodological proposal was confirmed

O(s) saber(es) e o(s) fazer(es) do professor formador :reflexões sobre a prática docente

This study, developed in conjunction to the Pedagogical Practice research line and the Curriculum of Post-graduation in Education Program of UFRN is about investigations on formation of professors and teaching knowledge. Its objective is to analyze fundamental concepts for lecturing and the relationship that establishes between those concepts and the practice of forming professors. We adopted as referential the principles of social-historical approach, in the context of concepts making and development (Vygotsky, Luria and Rubinstein), and of collaborative theoric-methodological approach (Jacullo-Noto, Kemmis and Ibiapina). Collaboration with professors was mediated by diary writing, collaborative observation and conceptual network creation, essential to perceiving the given meanings to concepts that sustain the practice of 06 (six) forming professors from the UFPI Pedagogy Course. Teresina Campus. This way, reflections with collaborator professors allowed to build conceptual networks, in which prominence was given to the meanings of concepts that gave sustaining to their lecturing practices in the referred course, showing a fragmentation and disarticulation between theory and forming practice. They also indicate a need to give new concepts to the meanings of teaching concepts, learning and lecturing of these professors, in a meaning of a greater understanding about those concepts for their effective practice. On the context of collaborative reflection about conceptual networks, it was evident the conflict generated between the meanings attributed by professors and the practice developed in class, pointing to the need of rethinking the articulation between theory and practice not only on the formative process developed, but also on the continual formation of forming professors and on the construction of discussing spaces and materialization of the curricular principles of the Pedagogy Course

A coordenação pedagógica e o processo de inclusão do aluno com necessidade educacionais especiais:Um estudo de caso

The school inclusion presents a number of challenges that has been mobilizing initiatives and studies about its effectiveness. If on one hand in such studies and initiatives it becomes important to emphasize on the role and training of teachers, on the other, there is few studies about the role (and performance) of the pedagogical coordination in face of this process. In this sense, this research focuses on the role of educational coordination in face of the school inclusion of students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and it undertakes the following study s questions: has the action by the coordinator contributed to the process of including students with Special Educational Needs? How is it presented in the process of inclusion of students with SEN in regular education? And it aims to: investigate the role of the pedagogical coordinator in the process of inclusion of students with Special Educational Needs of Primary Education at regular schools; and to analyze the limits and possibilities of the coordinator actions in the process of inclusion of students with SEN. For the effectiveness of the research, a state school of Elementary School located at the city of Natal/RN was taken as an empiric field. It was selected as research subjects 4 coordinators, 2 teachers of the Multifunctional Resources Room and 2 teachers of 6th to 9th grades. The methodological approach that was used in this research is consistent with the qualitative approach, and it is configured as a case study, as it is understood that this type of research responds to the objective of the study, assuming the observation of everyday school life, the educational document analysis and interviews with the subjects as procedures and tools to build data. The construction and analysis of the data were followed by a dialogue with the literature dedicated to coordinating education and school enrollment. Considering the responsibilities of the contemporary pedagogical coordination due to the challenges and possibilities of schooling for all students, specially regarding to what is referred as collaborative work and ongoing training of teachers, this study points out to the lack of an articulated action related to the school inclusion process, considering the monitoring of the teaching activity and its dialogue with the Multifunctional Resources Room. Moreover, the emphasis on meeting the daily school routines and the compliance with bureaucratic procedures, put it into second, restructuring of the Political-Pedagogical and the possibility of mobilization of school around the problematization and systematization of an inclusive school project. The effectiveness of school s inclusion, therefore, implies the scaling of the functions of the pedagogical coordination, as well as the reorganization of the school it self, to ensure the mediation of collaborative actions, contemplating the teachers continuing education, having as a landmark difficulties, problems and experiences constructed in the school context

Abordando as relações ctsa no ensino da química a partir das crenças e atitudes de licenciandos: uma experiência ormativa no Sertão Nordestino

Este estudio investigó las actitudes y creencias de los estudiantes universitarios en Ciencias Químicas por la Universidad de Río Grande do Norte (UERN) como un paso hacia la elaboración de una propuesta de material didáctico para el estudio de las relaciones CTSA en la licenciatura en química. Para el conocimiento de las actitudes y creencias fue utilizado dos instrumentos (Escala Likert y un cuestionario), que proporcionó un análisis dentro del nuevo paradigma de investigación (cuantitativa y cualitativa) en la Enseñanza de la Ciencia y Matemáticas. Los resultados mostraron que los estudiantes de licenciatura en química tienen creencias positivistas y que suelen son considerados por algunos como ingenuas, como la creencia en el modelo de decisión tecnocrática, la linealidad del desarrollo científico y tecnológico que lleva a el bienestar social y neutralidad de los conocimientos científicotecnológico. Basándose en estos datos y la literatura sobre el tema se elaboraron tres módulos de aprendizaje: a) Cuestionando la hegemonía del conocimiento técnico y científico, b) Las relaciones entre ciencia, tecnología, sociedad y medio ambiente - las relaciones CTSA c) Propuesta de temática para la enseñanza de la química en una perspectiva de CTSA: El Río Mossoró. Por último, el material producido se utilizó en dos cursos ocurridos en el Campus Central en el Centro de Educación Superior en São Miguel, ambos de UERN. Los participantes expresaron su aprobación al enfoque trajo de el experimento propuesto y de el caso de simulación contenidos en la propuesta de

Uma história de vida e uma vida de histórias: memória e oralidade no Romanceiro de Dona Militana

Este estudio trata de establecer relaciones sobre la importancia del fenómeno sociocultural que emerge de Doña Militana para la cultura potiguar. Para tanto tomamos sus recuerdos de los romances como parte de un contexto social, relacionados con el tiempo y el espacio, que afecten a la vida material y moral de su grupo social. Resaltamos, por lo tanto, el fenómeno de la memoria individual en su relación con la memoria colectiva. Proponemos, en este sentido, suponer que el mantenimiento y permanencia de estos romances en la memoria de la romancera revelan una dinámica de su grupo social para la formación de su identidad. En este sentido, nos servimos como referencial teórico de los estudios de Maurice Halbwachs, en lo que respecta a los debates sobre la memoria colectiva, en paralelo a los estudios de Paul Zunthor cuando se trata de las funciones de la oralidad para la formación de la identidad. Para llevar a cabo los trabajos es de fundamental importancia, por supuesto, el relato de vida de la propia Doña Militana en confronto con los simbolismo culturales contenidos en los romances, con el objetivo que flagremos las (co)incidencias que demarquen la identidad de sus vínculos de identidad con el universo cultural en que está insertado. Como resultado, se tomó como objeto de análisis desde la deposición presentadas en las entrevistas, hasta los romances en sus aspectos poéticos, lingüísticos y mitológicos, incluyendo los significados que el desempeño de la romancera muestra. Objetivamos, por lo tanto, una comprensión dialógica de la relación entre la memoria individual (el caso de Doña Militana) con la memoria colectiva, sobre la base de un hipotético concepto que subyace a la aparente singularidad de este fenómeno - un hecho aislado en cierta medida - una razón intrínseca y compleja que se revela como la punta de un iceberg, al que convergen motivos históricos inconscientes de un patrimonio cultural

Deus e o diabo na poesia de Gregório de Matos

La présence de la Bible dans la poésie du Boca do Inferno est un fait certain pour ceux qui gardent une mémoire littéraire des compositions tênues comme sacrées par la perception religieuse. Ce travail de conclusion de Mestrado, qui a comme titre Dieu et le diable dans la poésie de Gregório de Matos, pour répondre à la question portant sur la façon dont le poète baihanais s approprie de l héritage biblique, développe le thème de la quête grégorienne des Écritures pour faire de la parodie au moment d élaborer sa poésie. Pour rendre effectif un tel travail, l étude fait recours surtout à la fortune critique-théorique construite dans les essais de Haroldo de Campos qui se consacrent à l oeuvre de Gregório de Matos et aux textes bibliques en tant qu héritage littéraire de haute valeur. Ce travail fait encore recours aux constatations sur l art-culture baroque formulées par Helmut Hatzfeld et par José Antonio Maravall, et à la théorie anthropaphagique de la formation de la culture brésilienne, établie par Oswald de Andrade, à fin de donner un support aux observations faites lors de la lecture de la poésie grégorienne. L anthropophagie biblique mise en rite par Gregório de Matos en tant que travail qui précède l ironie parodique repérable dans ses textes est un aspect de son oeuvre qui répond pour son caractère unique: récits de la Bible juive, la poésie de l Ecclésiaste et des passages des Évangiles font écho dans l oeuvre du poète brésilien.

"Eu pensei que ia sair daqui falando inglês": um estudo sistêmico-funcional sobre papéis sociais atribuídos por alunos de um curso de Letras/Inglês

Research in the area of teacher training in English as a Foreign Language (CELANI, 2003, 2004, 2010; PAIVA, 2000, 2003, 2005; VIEIRA-ABRAHÃO, 2010) articulates the complexity of beginning teachers classroom contexts aligned with teaching language as a social and professional practice of the teacher in training. To better understand this relationship, the present study is based on a corpus of transcribed interviews and questionnaires applied to 28 undergraduate students majoring in Letters/English emphasis, at a public university located in the interior of the Western Amazon region, soliciting their opinions about the reforms made in the curriculum of this Major. Interviews and questionnaires were used as data collection instruments to trace a profile of the students organized in Group 1, with freshmen and sophomore undergraduates who are following the 2009 curriculum, and Group 2, with junior and senior undergraduates who are following the 2006 curriculum. The objectives are to identify, to characterize and to analyze the types of pronouns, roles and social actors represented in the opinions of these students in relation to their teacher training curriculum. The theoretical support focuses on the challenge of historical and contemporary routes from English teachers initial education programs (MAGALHÃES; LIBERALLI, 2009; PAVAN; SILVA, 2010; ALVAREZ, 2010; VIANA, 2011; PAVAN, 2012). Our theoretical perspective is based on the Systemic Functional Grammar of Halliday (1994), Halliday and Hasan (1989), Halliday and Matthiessen (2004), Eggins (1994; 2004) and Thompson (2004). We focus on the concept of the Interpersonal meaning, specifically regarding the roles articulated in the studies by Delu (1991), Thompson and Thetela (1995), and in the Portuguese language such as Ramos (1997), Silva (2006) and Cabral (2009). Moreover, we ascribe van Leeuwen s (1997; 2003) theory of Representation of Social Actors as a theoretical framework in order to identify the sociological aspect of social actors represented in the students discourse. Within this scenario, the analysis unfolds on three levels: grammatical (pronouns), semantic (roles), and discursive (social actors). For the analysis of interpersonal realizations present in the students opinions, we use the computational program WordSmith Tools (SCOTT, 2010) and its applications Wordlist and Concord to quantify the occurrences of the pronouns I, You and They, which characterize the roles and social actors of the corpus. The results show that the students assigned the following roles to themselves: (i) apprentice to express their initial process of English language learning; (ii) freshman to reveal their choice of Major in Letters/English emphasis; (iii) future teacher to relate their expectations towards a practicing professional. To assign the roles to professors in the major, the students used the metaphor of modality (I think) to indicate the relationship of teacher training, while they are in the role of a student and as a future teacher. From these evidences the representation of the students as social actors emerges in roles such as: (i) active roles; (ii) passive roles and (iii) personalized roles. The social actors represented in the opinions of the students reflect the inclusion of these roles assigned to the actions expressed about their experiences and expectations derived from their teacher training classroom

Paidéia e retórica no diálogo Fedro de Platão

This study presents a study on Plato's Phaedrus , with the purpose of discussing the possibility of interpreting this dialogue as a discussion on the greek notion of paideia.. We believe to find evidence to support this claim both in the cultural background of the dialogue and in its text. As background evidence, we point to the fact that Rhetoric had become the major disciplined studied in Athens in Plato's time, largely because democratic instituitions favored its practice. As text evidence, we point out that the story of the Phaedrus can be read as the story of how Socrates leads Phaedrus's soul toward philosophy. Therefore, we believe that Plato's main goal with this dialogue is to discuss Rhetoric and present the philosophical perspective on the possibility of an art of speechmaking. In order to achieve this, Plato presents an analyses of current Rhetoric, explains his conception of dialectic, and debate the relation between extemporaneous and written speech. We believe that all those elements serve the larger purpose of providing the background to discuss the cultural education of the Athenians

A Dança na Escola: um sério problema a ser resolvido

Pretendemos abordar os aspectos relacionados à Dança na Escola e pensarmos sobre uma formação continuada, a fim de discutir e refletir a elaboração de propostas de capacitação em Dança voltadas aos professores de Educação Física, principalmente no interior do Estado de São Paulo. Analisaremos a formação inicial dos professores, objetivos, conteúdos e possibilidades de aplicação da Dança no contexto educacional. Apesar do aumento das pesquisas em relação ao ensino da Dança na Escola, falta um espaço adequado e professores comprometidos com um trabalho sério, consciente e crítico, pois a hegemonia do esporte se encontra muito arraigada na cultura escolar. Uma forma de amenizar esse problema seriam cursos de capacitação, de forma permanente, voltados aos conteúdos de Dança, a fim de que esses professores possam ter vivências em práticas dançantes embasadas em uma fundamentação teórica para, assim, discutir, analisar e refletir a melhor maneira de trabalhar esta arte no âmbito escolar.

Protozoários de vida livre em ambientes aquáticos do RN: ocorrência, caracterização e importância para a educação básica

Water is considered an essential right to life, besides being a determinant of economic development and social welfare, represented by both the quantity available, and the quality. In semi-arid Northeast, droughts occurring on a regular basis combined with human activities, aggravate the situation regarding the conservation of water resources in this area. To alleviate this condition is common to construction of artificial reservoirs, such as reservoirs and dams. As in natural aquatic environments, these reservoirs are potential sites for the proliferation, growth and development of diverse biological communities, whether of animals, plants and microorganisms. Research on the composition and ecology of these communities, especially microbial, are still restricted. One of the least studied groups in these environments are free-living protozoa, which over time have been neglected and after discoveries about its various functions in the aquatic ecosystem are beginning to receive more attention from scholars. They are, in quantitative terms, the most important consumers of microorganisms (mainly bacteria and algae) in aquatic environments, and therefore control the abundance of these. They may therefore influence the structure of the aquatic food chain in terms of species composition, abundance, biomass and biodiversity. Despite the recognition of the importance of protozoa in the final of the trophic transfer in aquatic environments, there are few data and, in general, are still precarious knowledge of them. Given the importance of protozoa in aquatic environments and the paucity of research on this group, especially in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, the present study aimed at identifying the genus and species of free-living protozoa that are present in the Armando Ribeiro Gonçalves Dam as well as to relate the occurrence and dynamics of the trophic conditions in the environment in which they are inserted, in order to support the hypothesis that species that are in these environments can serve to indicate the water quality. We observed the presence of 65 taxa of free-living protozoa, of which 29 were identified at the species level. There was a similarity space in taxonomic composition of protozoa, suggesting a possible regulation of this type of community for limnological variables other than those studied in this work (chlorophyll a, pH, temperature). Although it was aimed to analyze the conceptions of teachers and students from nearby towns Dam Armando Ribeiro Gonçalves, on issues relating to water quality and the role of protozoa. For this, we applied questionnaires with teachers and pupils of public schools of San Rafael and Itajá. It was concluded that teachers and students recognize the multi-dam Armando Ribeiro Gonçalves, although unaware of important aspects of the dynamics and ecology of this environment. Conceptions of teachers and students are matched at various times, especially with regard to waterborne diseases. In an attempt to identify possible misconceptions about the knowledge of the protozoa, assuming that these organisms have neglected their ecological role, and are seen as only, disease, a study was done with teachers and students, following a particular methodology that allowed look so clear and precise results. It was clear that knowledge about the free-living protozoa is still quite limited. The alternative conceptions that were found show a direct relation of protozoans and diseases. From the data obtained by these studies, we planned a series of science communication activities, environmental education and health education in schools close to study environments in order to promote a didactic transposition of accumulated knowledge about these organisms, favoring continuing education of teachers and the increase of information to the local community through the knowledge of biodiversity and ecology of these organisms. Moreover, the results found in this study and reflections on it that led to propose the elaboration of a book Readers with an emphasis on the group of freeliving protozoa in the populations for use in public schools in the region where it was developed the semiarid work

O ensino da digestão-nutrição na era das refeições rápidas e do culto ao corpo

Mudanças notáveis nos hábitos alimentares, acompanhadas de práticas fisioculturistas intensas, são a tônica dos dias atuais, com registros de carências nutricionais e de obesidade bastante preocupantes, do ponto de vista da saúde pública, entre crianças, jovens e adultos. Mas o que conhecem as crianças e os adolescentes sobre o processo de digestão-nutrição, os conceitos básicos envolvidos e as condutas alimentares adequadas à boa saúde humana? Como é desenvolvido esse tema nas escolas públicas e particulares de ensino? Tais questionamentos desencadearam um estudo sobre a natureza das práticas desenvolvidas por professores de ciências e biologia e o conhecimento apresentado por alunos de escolas públicas e particulares. Os resultados revelaram inadequação no tratamento metodológico de ensino do processo de digestão e conceitos envolvidos nesse tema, que levam os alunos ao desinteresse e a manterem praticamente inalterados os conhecimentos ordinários que possuem. O processo de digestão e nutrição, bem como suas implicações para a saúde, configuraram-se como fenômenos desvinculados do aluno, à semelhança do que observamos nos livros didáticos por eles utilizados. A dinâmica das inter-relações alimentares entre seres vivos são superficialmente consideradas em ecologia e passam ao largo das adaptações comportamentais, morfológicas e fisiológicas envolvidas. Considerando esses resultados, propõe-se conteúdo baseado em abordagem ecológica, voltado para determinadas atividades experimentais, jogos e interações coevolutivas de seres vivos - aspectos biológicos e sociais, para o despertar de posturas reflexivas e críticas diante das transformações sociais em curso e de nossas necessidades biológicas no que se refere à alimentação e saúde.

Da licenciatura à sala de aula: o processo de aprender a ensinar em tempos e espaços variados

Formação de professores é um desafio que ultrapassa fronteiras de espaço e tempo. No caso da formação inicial, as dificuldades de articular necessidades formativas oriundas do campo de atuação às possibilidades dos cursos que formam o professor se mantêm. Buscando contribuir para minimizá-las, realizou-se uma investigação, cujos objetivos foram: investigar processos de aprendizagem da docência e evidenciar concepções de futuros professores sobre a sua profissão. Formulou-se um questionário com perguntas abertas, respondido por vinte estudantes do último ano de licenciatura de uma universidade pública do interior paulista, de cursos distintos. Os dados foram analisados em seis eixos temáticos, resultando em significativas constatações, das quais se destaca a falta de saberes relativos à especificidade da profissão docente e ao contexto sócio-histórico no qual ela acontece, comprometendo a ação futura do professor e, consequentemente, a aprendizagem do aluno da escola básica. Cabe, pois, repensar a formação docente, numa época em que seu redimensionamento por meios tecnológicos é possível.
