Normaliza����o de dispositivos m��veis no processo de aprendizagem de ingl��s : um estudo �� 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 Tri��ngulo 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.

A educação a dist��ncia e a forma����o docente

This study was guided by the following question: Is it possible to prepare good teachers for Basic School in Distance Learning (DL) online? The over all objective of this study was to identify and systematize the essential knowledge and skills for the practice of teaching in basic education as well to investigate whe ther the Distance Learning courses which train and prepare future teachers include all the knowledge and skills necessary for teaching practice. This is a qualitative the oretical and bibliographic research that aims to analyze the current stageof the knowledge on this theme. We selected recent papers on this subject, in order to study what has been written by the authors as well to know which are their significant findings. Data were collected from dissertations, thesis and books published on the theme. Preliminarily, the theme of the presentation and contextualization has been made and the argument about the relevance of the study for education. In the second section, we present an overview of the Distance Education in Brazil: coargumentncepts, characteristics, emergence, evolution and regulation. The third section the working environmentin training teachers and students in on line education, targeting to be familiar to Learning Virtual Environments (LVE), analyzing how these new learning spaces are settled and how students and teachers be have in front of the new settings of teaching and learning using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). In the fourth section aimed to identify which are the essential knowledges and skills that the teacher must master in order to work competently as well to discover which are the personal and professional characteristics of a good teacher in the XXI century. The fifth section studied and analyzed the current situation with in Distance Education is carried out in Brazil. We identified the most significant contributions of Distance Learning to Brazilian Education System in order to contribute to advances in the debate on the effectiveness of teacher training courses in distance education mode online.Finally in the sixth section were made final remarks and presented the study results.

A escola do urbano no campo do munic��pio de Catal��o/GO : ensino de geografia nas especificidades do lugar

This study makes an approach to the Morro Agudo Community (Cisterna) located in Catal��o city(GO) rural area where stands the Maria B��rbara 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 Matem��tica representadas nas vozes de um grupo de professoras dos anos iniciais da rede p��blica 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 Uberl��ndia, 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.

Concep����es dos professores da educação b��sica sobre as feiras de ci��ncia

Currently the Science fairs in Brazil have gained great incentive, examples are the regulations that the government has been implementing in education and the financing of public calls for events throughout the national territory. However, even with this incentive, some researchers point out that the scientific fairs and shows are still interpreted as an extemporaneous work by teachers. In order to know the views of basic education teachers about the fairs of Science, proposed to carry out this research. Given this situation, based mediation theory and sociocultural interaction Vygotsky (2001), the theory of instrumentalism Dewey (2002) and the proposed education through research Galiazzi e Moraes (2002), we sought to understand the importance of fair and their benefits as well as the presence in the talks of respondents. In order to analyze the answers of respondents, used to discourse analysis proposed by Eni Orlandi (2009), in which it is observed and is an interpretation of the speech of teachers, considering their interpretation and how to shape their thinking on the research object. In analyzing the results of the survey, it was noted that the teachers interviewed know the importance and objectives of science fairs, however experience difficulties that often does not allow these events to be carried out. In seeking to assist them to minimize these difficulties, it was realized the need for a product to make available guidance on how to develop research projects and assemblies of science fairs, that would provide an education for the research. Thus, resulting from research, was set up a blog and a booklet with texts, articles and report templates.

Estrat��gias de trabalho com blogs no ensino de geometria em turmas de 5�� ano do ensino fundamental

This paper presents a survey conducted through collaborative work, which took place in a suburb school in the city of Uberlandia-MG. The research is characterized as case study and has a qualitative approach. Had the objective to look for different strategies of teaching and learning through the use of technology in pedagogical practice. Regarding the methodology in this research, we analyzed the work with the support of blogs, whose pages were used for student records and discussions directed to the geometry content. The students who were attending the fifth (5th) year of elementary school were invited to participate in this project. However, the research subjects were only those students who accepted the invitation to participate in the study through statement signed by parents. The project was developed with 30 students in the second half of 2014 and another 30 in the first half of 2015. The physical space at school, where most of the project activities were done was at the computer lab. In the process of compiling the data, at school, the following instruments were used: field notes produced by the entire project team, photographs and footage of the activities produced in the computer lab and in classroom (recorded by the research team) questionnaires, interviews, virtual space records: the blogs. The results of this research mainly focused on the analysis of the fifth year student���s productions records in blogs. Regarding the conclusion, the research has shown that blogs, software and differentiated dynamic studies attracted the student���s attention, leaving them mostly instigated by the unknown. Gradually, students built their own knowledge from their mistakes and successes. The entire work process enabled the computer lab to be an environment that is used not just to solving computerized and tedious drills. The blogs production work in groups, developed in students the reading and writing of both the mother language as symbols and mathematical nomenclature. The interaction between students became noticeable throughout the project, since it provided the student���s personal growth, respect, tolerance and mutual cooperation. In this sense, we concluded that the project greatly contributed to the students' literacy process in the mother language, mathematics and computer literacy.

Horta escolar: temas geradores e os momentos pedag��gicos no ensino de ci��ncias

Science application has faced problems in the process of training and cognizant thinking subjects in their actions. Thus, this work is justified in order to reorganize the contents of this area of knowledge. Thus, the research entitled "Plantation School: generating themes and teaching moments in teaching of science" was developed with a group of 6th grade of elementary school, from the planting of vegetables in tires without usefulness, with purpose of building meanings and scientific concepts to students. This work was based on sociointeractionist perspective of Vygotsky (1996, 1998), education for thematic research Freire (1983, 1996) as well as in problem-solving situations identified by the methodology of Pedagogical Moments Delizoicov and Angoti (1992; 2002 ) which together corroborated for the construction of a proposed teaching and learning, curriculum reorganization and significance of scientific concepts. Thus, the project breaks in practice with the linearity of the contents, to develop and analyze themes mediated by pedagogical moments, in order to ascertain the contribution of this methodological resource for the teacher's work, with regard to the understanding of scientific concepts by students. Thus, lesson plans were built based on the study situation "Horta School" and Themes Generators "human interaction with the environment", "photosynthesis", "Ecology and Nutrition of living beings", culminating in the work proposal developed in the classroom. From these themes, the contents were worked through pedagogical moments, which are organized into three stages: questioning, organization / systematization of knowledge and application / contextualization of knowledge. Thus, within each Theme Generator activities were planned which resulted in the involvement of students in learning scientific concepts, such as the issue of sustainability, environmental pollution, nutrition of living beings and the decomposition of organic matter. This work led and motivated student participation in Themes generators, and allows greater interaction between teacher-student and student among his peers, through dialogism established in the classroom, which promoted a more meaningful learning for students.

Ensino Cl��nico em Enfermagem: Desenvolvimento de Compet��ncias no Contexto Cl��nico para o Futuro Profissional

O Ensino Cl��nico (EC) no curso de licenciatura em enfermagem (CLE) tem um papel fundamental nos estudantes, pois apresenta-se como uma das principais ferramentas para a forma����o do futuro enfermeiro. �� atrav��s do EC que o estudante tem contato direto com a realidade profissional, pois, antes da sua realiza����o, todo e qualquer conhecimento �� meramente te��rico, ou se resume a um conjunto de pr��ticas simuladas no laborat��rio. O EC serve de plataforma educacional que permite ao estudante estabelecer uma rela����o entre a te��rica lecionada e a pr��tica exercida. Tendo em conta toda a relev��ncia do EC, optou-se por fazer uma investiga����o com o objetivo de conhecer a opini��o dos estudantes do CLE da Universidade do Mindelo (UM) sobre a import��ncia do EC na aquisi����o de compet��ncias para o futuro profissional. Com o intuito de dar prossecu����o ao objetivo previamente delineado optou-se por uma Investiga����o de abordagem quantitativa, explorat��ria, baseada numa l��gica de pesquisa por conveni��ncia n��o probabil��stica, recorrendo �� aplica����o de um inqu��rito por question��rio para a recolha de dados tendo como popula����o alvo todos os estudantes do CLE da UM, do ano letivo 2015/2016 (183 estudantes), desta popula����o foi aplicado crit��rios de inclus��o e exclus��o, ficando assim com uma amostra de 58 estudantes. Os resultados revelaram que 97% dos estudantes consideram que o EC contribui positivamente para o seu futuro profissional. No que concerne ao acompanhamento feito pelos orientadores aos estudantes, estes t��m uma vis��o positiva que pode ser confirmada pela classifica����o que lhes foi atribu��da, em que para o Orientador Cl��nico (OC), 9% classificaram estes como excelente, 22% como Muito Bom, 47% como Bom, 19% como Suficiente e 3% como Insuficiente e. Dos Orientadores Docentes (OD), 21% classificaram estes como Muito Bom, 41% de Bom, 31% como Suficiente e 7% classificaram como Insuficiente. Ainda se pode referir que destes inquiridos, 79% consideraram que o EC �� importante, pois prepara o estudante em todos os dom��nios para a vida profissional (emocional, atitudinal, t��cnico-cient��fico e te��rico pr��tico). Sendo assim, o contexto do EC tem um papel fundamental na forma����o do estudante de enfermagem e que os pr��prios t��m a plena no����o dessa import��ncia.

Servi��os de A����o Social da Universidade de Coimbra: a pol��tica de atribui����o de bolsas de estudo e o Servi��o Social

Este trabalho analisa as pol��ticas de a����o social escolar no ensino superior p��blico a partir da d��cada de 60, nomeadamente na atribui����o de bolsas de estudo a estudantes da Universidade de Coimbra. Analisa ainda as altera����es que estas pol��ticas t��m vindo a sofrer ao longo dos anos e a sua rela����o com o direito ao ensino e igualdade de oportunidades de acesso e ��xito escolar consagrado na Constitui����o Portuguesa. O Servi��o Social tem uma interven����o relevante nos Servi��os de A����o Social da Universidade de Coimbra, em v��rias ��reas, praticamente desde a sua cria����o. Neste trabalho, a an��lise das pr��ticas do Servi��o Social centra-se na atribui����o de bolsas de estudo, nos ��ltimos 10 anos. Trata-se de um estudo explorat��rio realizado com base em pesquisa bibliogr��fica e documental. Outra fonte de recolha de informa����o foi a entrevista, realizada �� Assistente Social, e Respons��vel pelo Servi��o de Bolsas entre 1978 e 2012, Dra. Elisa Decq Motta. As altera����es ��s pol��ticas de a����o social no que se refere �� atribui����o de bolsas de estudo, relacionadas com o c��lculo dos rendimentos ou com as condi����es de elegibilidade, t��m vindo a p��r em causa o direito �� igualdade de oportunidades dos estudantes, no acesso e na perman��ncia no ensino superior. Muitos deles, economicamente carenciados, est��o a ficar de fora do sistema de a����o social no ensino superior em virtude destas altera����es. �� preocupa����o dos Servi��os de A����o Social da Universidade de Coimbra a regress��o a que se tem vindo a assistir, e as suas consequ��ncias para os estudantes do ensino superior, pelo que �� urgente inverter este caminho. / This study analyses the academic social policies in the high-level educational institutions since the 60���s, namely in the allocation of scholarships to students from the University of Coimbra. Furthermore, the changes that such policies have been suffering over the last years, and their relationship with the right to education and equal opportunities to the access and scholar success that every citizen has, as stated by the Portuguese Constitution, are also examined. Since its establishment, the Social Service is a relevant area of the Social Services of the University of Coimbra, in several areas. The analyses present in this study will focus on the last 10 years, specifically on the scholarships allocation. This study is based on literature and documents research, as well as on an interview to the Social Worker responsible for the Scholarships Service from 1978 to 2012, Dra. Elisa Decq Motta. The social policies changes related with the scholarships assignment, especially those associated with the income assessment and eligibility conditions are serious hindrances to the right of equal admission opportunity and maintenance in higher education that all students have. Due to these changes, several students with financial issues are not supported by the social service in higher education. The observed changes, and its consequences for students are a matter of concern for the Social Services of University of Coimbra. It is imperative to revert the current situation.

Hipotermia terap��utica p��s-parada cardiorrespirat��ria em hospitais do extremo sul do brasil

A atua����o eficaz dos trabalhadores da sa��de no atendimento imediato da parada cardiorrespirat��ria possibilita o efetivo processo de implementa����o da hipotermia terap��utica, reduzindo poss��veis danos cerebrais e proporcionando um melhor progn��stico para o paciente. O presente estudo objetivou conhecer o processo de implementa����o da hipotermia terap��utica p��s-parada cardiorrespirat��ria em hospitais do extremo sul do Brasil. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, do tipo descritiva. O cen��rio do estudo foram duas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva de dois hospitais onde a hipotermia terap��utica p��s-parada cardiorrespirat��ria �� realizada. Os sujeitos do estudo foram m��dicos, enfermeiros e t��cnicos de enfermagem atuantes nas referidas unidades. A coleta de dados foi composta por dois momentos. Primeiramente, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa retrospectiva nos prontu��rios dos pacientes e, posteriormente, foram aplicadas entrevistas semiestruturadas por meio de roteiro de entrevista com os profissionais citados, as quais foram gravadas com aparelho digital. A coleta de dados ocorreu durante o m��s de outubro de 2014. Para interpreta����o dos dados, foi utilizada a an��lise textual discursiva, construindo-se tr��s categorias. Na primeira categoria, ���processo de implementa����o da hipotermia terap��utica���, constatou-se que o hospital com uma implementa����o sistematizada e organizada utiliza um protocolo escrito e, em rela����o ��s fases de aplica����o da hipotermia terap��utica, ambas as institui����es utilizam os m��todos tradicionais de indu����o, manuten����o e reaquecimento. A segunda categoria, ���facilidades e dificuldades vivenciadas pela equipe de sa��de durante a aplica����o da hipotermia terap��utica���, identifica a estrutura f��sica, harmonia da equipe, equipamentos para a monitoriza����o constante das condi����es hemodin��micas dos pacientes e a otimiza����o do tempo de trabalho como facilitadores. No que tange ��s dificuldades, constatou-se a aquisi����o de materiais, como o gelo e o BIS; disponibilidade de um ��nico term��metro esof��gico; inexist��ncia de EPI���s; conhecimento insuficiente e inaptid��o t��cnica; aus��ncia de educação permanente e dimensionamento inadequado dos profissionais de enfermagem. Na terceira categoria, ���efeitos adversos e complica����es encontradas pela equipe de sa��de durante a aplica����o da hipotermia terap��utica e cuidados de enfermagem realizados���, verificou-se, como efeitos adversos, a ocorr��ncia de tremores, bradicardia e hipotens��o e de complica����es como hipotermia excessiva e queimaduras de pele. Os cuidados de enfermagem direcionam-se aos cuidados com a pele e extremidades, uso do gelo, seda����o, higiene, conforto e preparo de material para monitoriza����o. Concluiu-se que a hipotermia terap��utica �� poss��vel de ser aplicada, na realidade das institui����es pesquisadas, de maneira segura, eficaz e de baixo custo.

Conversando com a tecnologia: contribui����es de Jo��o Augusto Bastos para a educação tecnol��gica

For the reader of this book it is reserved a historical walk through the efforts realized in the field of education to settle the necessary basis for the formation of a participating citizen in the socio-technical process and the dialogic and communicative action with the technological world. There are ten articles that discuss about many aspects of the relationship between education and technology, experienced by the author, who at any moment forgot thinkers with whom he spoke as J��rgen Habermas, Karl Marx, Karl Popper, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer and Ruy Gama. You can dream and run away from the instrumental knowledge to incorporate the woven continuous experience in the practice and experience with people. In this atmosphere of concepts, characteristics and perspectives is the technological education, which runs through dialogue with technology, possession of knowledge and interdisciplinary. Talking to the technology, the subject interacts with society so that the demands are part of projects in this field of this champ of knowledge and the other sciences. It also means to explore knowledge and practices of professionals and educators working in this field full of normative and formative values.

It is expected that the chapters present the program, aspects of its production, interests and theoretical/methodological relations, contributing to the strengthening of Mathematics Education as a research field and familiarization and deepening of the topics discussed.

Telefone celular como recurso did��tico no ensino de f��sica

Currently, there are several factors that suggest the need for the school to review their teaching practices: 1) the speed with which information and communication technologies - ICT are spread throughout society and in particular the increasing use of mobile phone by groups in school age;2) the scope and power of integrating ICT convergence of these technological resources, that can be used as teaching resources; 3) the fact that nowadays students grow up in a technological world and make their thought patterns operating in accordance with this reality, etc... In contrast, there are educators unrelated to the appropriation of ICT, presenting, in many cases, resistance to them. There is a incongruity between how individuals use mobile phones, for example, inside and outside the school. There are also educators, schools, public educational departments claiming to be against mobile phones usage; bills and laws regulating their use in educational space, etc... For these controversial aspects we have investigated whether cell phone use as a teaching resource practices mediator in Physics teaching. For this purpose, we developed an applied research with qualitative and exploratory approach about the objectives, adopting participant and the technical procedures. A documental and bibliographical research was taken. First of all, data were collected by e-mail, through a multiple choice questionnaire applied to private school teachers in southern Brazil, to identify the researched reality and develop teaching practices likely to be applied in the studied corpus. Then, such practices were applied in workshops located in Curitiba and Ponta Grossa cities, in Paran�� state. During the application, data was collected by the researcher's field notes. Then, we recorded chats about the workshops from an instant message software (msn messenger), and we took photographic records. Data analysis was performed by triangulation. The results showed the need to enhance continuing education courses for teachers and the production of national academic literature, such as articles, dissertations, theses and books that explore the theme of the cell phone and its functionality in educational spaces as an educational resource mediator in the practices of teaching Physics. They are available in the dissertation defended in 2012, and now are also systematized in this book, organized as a final product of research conducted by the Graduate Program in Science Education and Technology UTFPR, Campus Ponta Grossa-PR.
