Uma descrição semiótica da metáfora no ensino de biologia: asserções sobre a célula animal

The main objective of this survey is describing signly the metaphor learning resource, with focus on biology education. Our teorical reference is the peircean semiotics, because it means solid heritage to code surveys implicated at science education, it led us to do an explanation about the main lines about that reference, addressed to researchers and lecturers interested in those reasonings. In the description yearned, another objectives appear: demonstrate diferences between metaphor/analogy and pragmatic analogy; to list metaphors, from cell representation analysis, and argue about principals diferences and probable cognitive consequences between the metaphor event in the visual representation and speech sentences. Therefore we analysed the animal cell of a high school first grade studying book – biology – cell biology – used by São Paulo and another state students. The findings demonstrate the undeniable importance of the metaphor as a learning tool in the biology education, and new findings about that, such as its limits in the concept elaboration, gnosiologic consequences for receptioning, the search needs for propositions– pictures between concept relations – in the science speech construction, and other results.

It will also be discussed the importance of becoming a critical reader when interpreting advertising messages presented by the communication means in general.

O design e o produto: parâmetros projetuais para o planejamento de jogos geométricos pré-escolares

Educational games are responsible for part of the information assimilated by the child, because these games respect the individual learning time, enabling experimentation and, consequently, being an accessory to retain the acquired knowledge spontaneously. However, the analogy between stimulus and reception/result is not always the expected. On the one hand, there are the pedagogues, bearing the knowledge necessary to the children’s development. On the other hand, are the children, who cannot completely assimilate the concept, commonly because of lack of planning on the product. After all, the children become not interested in the game, without developing the expected cognitive abilities planned for the product. Whereas the importance of the games on children’s development, this work aimed to analyze and select educational games presented on the preschool, based on the language exploration from the Design’s knowledge and skills. Specifically, the research intends to investigate games targeted to stimulate geometric concepts, and so, to describe parameters that must be observed during the product planning.

A liberdade de imprensa vista pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal: análise da ADPF n. 130

The present study aims to present and analyze the ruling of the Brazilian Supreme Court in ADPF 130 (Concentrated constitutional review action, Fundamental Precept Infringement, Argüição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental), proposed by Partido Democrático Trabalhista (PDT), which contests the compatibility of statute 5.250/67 with the Federal Constitution of 1988. This work considers that the judicial ruling is different than the approach taken by the Legislative and Executive powers, arguing that there is, in the Judiciary, a peculiar way for ruling, surrounded by mysteries, rites, secrets, pomp and circunstances unintelligible to layman. To reach the proposed goal, Justice Carlos Brito´s report and opinion on ADPF 130 are analyzed. The choice of giving special attention to this opinion, which favors the declaration of unconstitutionality of the 5.250/67 statute, is justified in that it represents agreement with the allegation of disrespect to the constitutional text, as suggested by the Partido Democrático Trabalhista. The arguments put forth by the presiding Justice on his ruling will also be the object of consideration, as well as some possible consequences of the ruling.

Recontando o recontado

There are some titles that, under a stealthy look, cause unrest and stir with our imagination. The text by Ana Maria Machado - Point to point - and the topic of a meeting at the University of Brasilia - READ: reading, teaching and reception - intertextualized in the act of reading are sufficiently provocative. Then, from them can emerge a form of ripping, as with a scalpel in a sheet of blank paper and drawing with the word. In this way of thinking, we may write our text, beginning by quoting an essay of Glawinski (1977), in which the author says that literary criticism has only recently become interested in reading, either as an object of reflection, or as a descriptive tool.

Interatividade e produção discursiva no rádio e na televisão: a participação da audiência e a conformação da mensagem informativa

The study investigates the constitution of the informational message in production processes in interactive media and television, from situations in which contents are conveyed performed by the audience. The work shows that the declared strategies employed by listeners and viewers actualize itself in a series of controls and discursive constraints resulting from the dynamics in the means of production and the relationship established between broadcaster/program and its audience. Moreover, it is clear that, despite attempts to produce an effect independent of viewer and listener regarding your participation and opinion, there is a direction and a restriction on the possibilities of expression rather than technical, operational, are of discursive order.

Perspectivas e desafios para o rádio na era digital

O rádio é o veículo de comunicação que as pessoas mais usam para receber informação e entretenimento diário. A portabilidade, a proximidade das emissoras com seus públicos e os receptores de baixo preço sustentam há várias décadas, a popularidade radiofônica. Mais recentemente, o rádio se beneficiou do crescimento da frota automotora e da enorme quantidade de celulares, que embutem gratuitamente receptores de rádio. Uma pesquisa realizada em 2010, pelo GPR (Grupos dos Profissionais do Rádio) sobre consumo radiofônico pelos brasileiros, apontou que 74% deles ouvem Rádio em receptores tradicionais, 63% ouvem pela internet, 61% pelo rádio do carro, 37% sintoniza rádio pelo celular, 21% por meio de dispositivos como MP3, MP4 e iPhone; 12% por meio de canais de áudio da TV a cabo e 3% via internet do celular. A pesquisa GPR apresenta números significativos de ouvintes em cada modalidade de dispositivo para recepção radiofônica. São indicadores claros de que um mesmo ouvinte está sintonizando regularmente suas emissoras prediletas em mais de um tipo de receptor de rádio. A nova variável demonstra que a digitalização da produção, da transmissão e da recepção, além de transformar o rádio em um veículo com linguagem multimídia, também lhe agregou a possibilidade de multi-sintonia. Ou seja, as mensagens radiofônicas passaram a ser recebidas pelos ouvintes em diversos terminais, todos dotados de ferramentas multimídia e de recursos para interatividade. É a evidência de que o rádio ingressou definitivamente no território binário e convergente do ciberespaço. De agora em diante, a formação das várias carreiras profissionais para a produção radiofônica terão que atentar para as transformações do veículo na era digital.

Retransmissoras digitais: apagão em 2016?

Cinco anos após o início das transmissões da TV Digital no Brasil, faltando próximo há três anos para o desligamento da transmissão analógica, observou-se o empenho das emissoras e da indústria de equipamentos para televisão, no que tange a substituição da atual tecnologia de produção, registro, edição e exibição de sons e imagens, inclusive em alta definição, da implantação dos equipamentos para transmissão, retransmissão e, principalmente, o impacto para o telespectador, que deverá se preparar para a recepção digital ou com substituição de seus televisores ou aquisição de set-top-box, em prazos já determinados pelo Ministério das Comunicações, sob o risco de não mais receber as transmissões de sinal da TV aberta brasileira a partir de 29 de junho de 2016. Este texto reflete sobre problemas no processo de implantação da transmissão digital brasileira que poderão comprometer a cobertura do território nacional com o sinal digital, limitar a capacidade de recepção em alta definição nas localidades mais afastadas dos grandes centros e, em consequência, implicar no atraso em se produzir conteúdo com os recursos disponibilizados pela nova tecnologia.
