Currículo, conhecimento e transmissão cultural: contribuições para uma teorização pedagógica contemporânea

O artigo examina os estudos contemporâneos sobre a constituição dos currículos escolares, bem como os processos de seleção dos conhecimentos a serem ensinados, buscando ponderar a relevância e a urgência de produzirmos uma reflexão crítica sobre os modos de transmissão cultural mobilizados nas diferentes cenas pedagógicas. Para tanto, inscreve essa problematização no âmbito dos estudos curriculares, indicando as maneiras pelas quais se atribui centralidade ao conceito de conhecimento escolar. Serão revisados três pensadores sociais do século XX: Émile Durkheim, Antonio Gramsci e Hannah Arendt. Em condições teóricas diferenciadas, partindo de pressupostos argumentativos divergentes, os pensadores assinalam a relevância social e política da tarefa da transmissão cultural na escola.

Dermatite atopique de l'enfant: principes généraux de la prise en charge [Atopic dermatitis in children: general principles of management].

Atopic dermatitis is the most frequent dermatosis in childhood. Numerous studies underscored the central role of skin barrier alterations in the pathogenesis of the inflammatory skin lesions. The management of atopic dermatitis has to be multidimensional. It combines among others some daily local care and a sporadic topical anti-inflammatory treatment during the acute flare-ups. The objective of this article is to summarize, in light of the recent European guidelines, the general principles of management of atopic dermatitis, for the general practitioner.

Sociedade da informação: globalização, identidade cultural e conteúdos

Os conteúdos informacionais nas redes eletrônicas são analisados na perspectiva de seu impacto social e da promoção da identidade cultural. Considera a penetrabilidade e capilaridade das teconologias da informação um dos principais indicadores de desenvolvimento da sociedade da informação e defende a instalação de pontos de acesso à internet em bibliotecas públicas e escolares. Defende também o fomento à produção de conteúdos, seu registro e difusão nos âmbitos de governo, da sociedade pelos indivíduos, de forma a refletir as diversidades culturais e regionais, urbanas, periféricas e rurais, assim como o resgate da memória já registrada em língua portuguesa mas ainda não acessível. O documento foi elaborado com a participação de especialistas de todo o país e serviu de base para a redação do Capítulo 5 do Livro Verde do Programa Sociedade da Informação no Brasil - Socinfo.

Medical residents' feedback on needs and acquired skills following a short course on cross-cultural competence

Objectives The purpose of this study is to assess short and long term changes in knowledge, attitudes, and skills among medical residents following a short course on cultural competency and to explore their perspectives on the experience. Methods Eighteen medical residents went through a short training programme comprised of two seminars lasting 30' and 60' respectively over two days. Three months later, we conducted three focus groups, with 17 residents to explore their thoughts, perspectives and feedback about the course. To measure changes over time, we carried out a quantitative sequential survey before the seminars, three days after, and three months later using the Multicultural Assessment Questionnaire. Results Residents expressed a wide variety of perspectives on the main themes related to the content of the training - culture, trialogue, stereotypes, status, epidemiology, history and geopolitics - and related to its organization - relevance, volume, timing, target audience, training tools, and working material. Using the MAQ, we observed a higher global performance score (n=16) at three days (median=38) compared to results before the training (median=33) revealing a median difference of 5.5 points (z=2.4, p=0.015). This difference was still present at three months (∆=4.5, z=2.4, p=0.018), mainly due to knowledge acquisition (∆=3) rather than attitudes (∆=0) or skills (∆=1). Conclusions Cross-cultural competence training not only brings awareness of multicultural issues but also helps participants understand their own cultures, perception of others and preconceived ideas. Physicians' education should however also focus on improving implementation of acquired knowledge in cross-cultural competence.

France's Charter for the Environment : of Presidents, Principles and Environmental Protection

France amended its constitution in 2005 to include a Charter for the Environment. The Charter lays out France's commitment to supporting the right to a 'balanced environment'. This article first traces the Charter's origins to a legacy-building presidential initiative. Jacques Chirac decided to invest in a neglected policy domain in which his own majority had shown little interest. He was obliged to intervene repeatedly in order to bring this project to a successful conclusion. In doing so, he staked out environmental affairs as an area of potential presidential supremacy. Next, the content of the Charter is examined. In this document, French traditions of universalism come together with an international movement for anticipatory environmental protection. This is reflected in the constitutionalisation of the precautionary principle, which emerged as the most controversial part of the Charter. The debates this provoked tended to caricature a risk-management principle whose meaning has been carefully refined to forestall objections. Finally, the Charter's potential efficacy is analysed. The post-Charter record of legislative and judicial activity concerning the environment is meagre, but not wholly inauspicious.
