A presença de homens docentes na educação infantil: lugares (des)ocupados

A partir da abordagem investigativa da multirreferencialidade, com base em Jacques Ardoíno, e tendo como lentes teóricas os conceitos de cultura e de gênero, discutidos respectivamente por Victor Hell, Stuart Hall, Alfredo Veiga-Neto, e Joan Scott, Guacira Lopes Louro, Dagmar Meyer, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar as implicações da presença de homens docentes na Educação Infantil, problematizando as relações de gênero a partir de um amálgama de atravessamentos sociais, históricos e culturais. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com dois homens que exercem a função de educador infantil na rede pública de ensino do Município de Natal/RN/Brasil. A análise das entrevistas possibilitou a organização dos dados em quatro focos de discussão. O primeiro deles refere-se às figuras masculinas (re)produzidas no cotidiano da Educação Infantil, cujas representações discursivas constroem o homem como “perigoso”, “poderoso” e “respeitado”, ajudando a perpetuar os vínculos histórica e culturalmente estabelecidos entre a figura masculina e as imagens de autoridade, liderança, comando, ao mesmo tempo em que reforça o suposto caráter natural das relações entre a figura feminina e o cuidado infantil. O segundo foco de discussão trata da polarização entre os elementos do binômio masculino/feminino, ativado constantemente nas relações que se estabelecem entre homens e mulheres no cotidiano da Educação Infantil, tornando as instituições desta etapa de ensino um local de concretização dos mais diversos significados de gênero. O terceiro foco de discussão problematiza a necessidade de afirmação da heterossexualidade dos educadores infantis entrevistados, destacando-se a associação (geralmente feita por gestores, por colegas de trabalho e pelas famílias das crianças) entre a heterossexualidade masculina e o adequado exercício da função docente. O quarto e último foco de discussão trata das lacunas da formação inicial e continuada de educadores infantis, enfatizando que, de modo geral, os cursos que formam professores para atuar em instituições de Educação Infantil tendem a desconsiderar a inserção profissional de homens nessa etapa de ensino. Assim, a Dissertação que ora apresentamos tem como escopo a desnaturalização de estereótipos de gênero no cotidiano da Educação Infantil, entendendo que este é também um contexto muito profícuo para o exercício de resistência às imagens cultural e historicamente associadas a homens e mulheres.

A verdade (des)construída: a inserção da homossexualidade na comunidade cristã Nova Esperança, em Natal

The religious plurality has been increasingly intense in Brazil, while it has served as an object of study in various fields of knowledge. In this context, this paper aims to point out the general heterogeneity among experienced growth of Protestant and evangelical denominations, especially those who claim to be inclusive by attending to human diversity, seeking to understand the relationship between religion and homosexuality. Specific objectives aim to understand the functioning and speeches produced by Comunidade Cristã Nova Esperança in Natal. The theoretical framework was seated in the works of Bento (2008), Lima (2009), Goffman (2001), Natividade (2008), Musskopf (2008), Helminiak (1998), Foucault (1997), among others. We tried to discuss the trajectory and how is the process of organization of the Comunidade Cristã Nova Esperança in Natal, the social advances that have reached homosexuals in our country, how this institution has contributed to the shift in paradigm in Christianity in respect to matters pertaining to religion and homosexuality, and the meaning of being a homosexual christian from the viewpoint perceived by social subjects living this experience

Estética do apocalipse: (re) considerações acerca da (des) arborização urbana de Natal e seu contributo à saúde pública

This study intends to establish a relation between environmental degradation, particularly the devastation of the green canopy, and public health. Utilizing a mapping of the trees included in the researched area, each individual tree was analyzed according to its age, taxonomic listing, architecture, shape and size (determined by aesthetic/convenience reasons or deformed by pruning). Initially investigated were the covert reasons lying underneath the constant aggression against trees (which many times seem to contain elements of hatred and contempt) within the urban environment. In addition to that, the aspects concerning environmental modifications and the consequent impact on public health were also assessed. Two main problems promptly emerged as a result of the removal of trees: a) without a canopy to protect the areas, they became subject to winds directly blown from SW Africa and impregnated with aerosol partic les, which are common causes for respiratory disorders and, b) direct UV solar radiation, which causes some types of skin cancers and eye disorders. To reach such results, we studied the origins and formation of UV radiation induced cancers and searched for the UV radiation spectra of action, e.g., usual intensity and quantity reaching clear and shadowed spaces in a certain area and its consequences. In a second instance, we also searched for pertinent data resources in order to confirm the increase of skin cancer cases due to exposure to UV radiation and the relation between the destruction of the green canopy and the above mentioned problems. We believe that a few significant results have been achieved by this study, namely: the relation between a culture based on medieval beliefs and its consequences on the environment; how this culture exploits and deforms nature in pursuit of financial and psychological interests to a point of transforming the landscape into a copy of something devoid of any relation to latitude and altitude; and above all, the indifference concerning the alarming results carried by these modifications

Perceções de comportamentos (Des)adequados e relacionamento com pares na escola: um estudo com alunos de 9º ano

Os comportamentos e as relações entre pares na escola são importantes para o desenvolvimento social e pessoal dos jovens. A influência exercida pelos pares pode ser positiva ou negativa. Esta investigação visa conhecer as perceções que os jovens têm sobre os comportamentos e relacionamentos adequados/desadequados entre pares. Participaram no estudo 16 estudantes do 9ºano, do sexo masculino, identificados como tendo bom/mau comportamento. A recolha dos dados foi realizada através de questionário constituído por questões abertas. Os dados foram tratados qualitativa e quantitativamente. Os bons e maus comportamentos são conceptualizados por relação com atitudes individuais e relacionais. A perceção dos professores sobre o comportamento dos jovens é diferente da perceção que estes têm do seu próprio comportamento. Os alunos consideram maioritariamente não serem influenciados pelos pares, nem exercerem influência sobre eles. A promoção do relacionamento entre pares é vista como passando pela realização de atividades especificas. O grupo de alunos identificado com mau comportamento apresenta menor variedade conceptual; ABSTRACT: The behaviors and relationships in peers at school are important to the social and personal development of young people. The influence exerted by peers can be positive or negative. This research aims to analyses the perception that young people have about the appropriate/inappropriate behaviors and relationships among peers. Sixteen male students of the 9thyear made part of this study, indentified with bad/good behavior. The data collection was made through questionnaires consisted of open questions. The data was evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. The good and bad behaviors are conceptualized by individual and relational attitudes. The teachers’ perception of the behavior is different from the perception that the young people has of themselves. The majority of the students do not consider themselves as an influence to the peers, and not even the peers as an influence to them. The promotion of peer relationship is seen as through the realization of specific activities. The student group which was identified with bad behavior presents a lower conceptual variety.

O (Des) Encontro Geracional das Aprendizagens e a fractura cultural

Em cada território, existe um universo considerável de aprendizagens disponível para a totalidade da população aí residente. Aos contextos formais e escolares, onde a hegemonia das culturas letradas importadas de latitudes económicas, sociais e culturais, tantas vezes distantes, e legitimadas pelos poderes nacionais, sempre se apresentaram, como alternativos ou complementares, os contextos não formais e informais, promovidos pelas instituições locais, geradas e desenvolvidas pela chamada sociedade civil. Nesta heterogénea realidade social e institucional, coexistem diversos conhecimentos, diferentes culturas e distintos estilos e processos de aprender. Nestes contextos, aparentemente enriquecidos pela diversidade, existe, mais ou menos evidente, uma fratura profunda. Uma fratura entre as culturas, as gerações e os rituais de aprendizagem. Uma falha social que, lenta, mas inexoravelmente, vai afastando os mais novos dos mais velhos, os mais ricos, dos mais pobres, os mais letrados dos menos letrados, os que ficam dos que saem.

Etude des incidences d’un accompagnement formation à médiation corporelle sur le renouvellement personnel et professionnel d’une enseignante-directrice d’une école de musique

Cette recherche porte sur le processus de renouvellement personnel et professionnel d’une enseignante et directrice d’une école de musique (Ecole Musique en mouvement), à la faveur de l’accompagnement formation à médiation corporelle que j’ai mis en place, afin de répondre à sa demande de formation. L’étude s’inscrit dans le domaine de l’éducation et de la formation continue des adultes ; l’accompagnement formation s’enracine dans le paradigme du Sensible. Dans le champ théorique, après avoir éclairé le carrefour entre des processus de changement et les actions d’accompagnement formation qui tentent de les favoriser, j’ai présenté la Psychopédagogie Perceptive et développé la spécificité de cette démarche d’accompagnement formatif à médiation corporelle. La posture épistémologique déployée est celle d’un praticien chercheur qui opte pour une démarche heuristique d’analyse qualitative. C’est à partir d’une méthodologie de recueil croisé (journal de bord de la participante à la recherche et entretiens face à face), que j’ai effectué une analyse catégorielle d’inspiration phénoménologique, suivie d’une analyse herméneutique des données, afin de comprendre les incidences de notre pratique sur la sphère de la vie personnelle et de la vie professionnelle de l’enseignante et directrice, dans les champs de sa perception, de sa cognition et de ses actions.

L'étendue internationale des nouvelles firmes de hautes technologies: le rôle du capital humain et de l'intention stratégique des fondateurs

De récentes recherches ont mis l’accent sur l’importance pour les nouvelles entreprises internationales de l’existence de ressources et de compétences spécifiques. La présente recherche, qui s’inscrit dans ce courant, montre en particulier l’importance du capital humain acquis par les entrepreneurs sur base de leur expérience internationale passée. Mais nous montrons en même temps que ces organisations sont soutenues par une intention délibérée d’internationalisation dès l’origine. Notre recherche empirique est basée sur l’analyse d’un échantillon de 466 nouvelles entreprises de hautes technologies anglaises et allemandes. Nous montrons que ce capital humain est un actif qui facilite la pénétration rapide des marchés étrangers, et plus encore quand l’entreprise nouvelle est accompagnée d’une intention stratégique délibérée d’internationalisation. Des conclusions similaires peuvent être étendues au niveau des ressources que l’entrepreneur consacre à la start-up : plus ces ressources sont importantes, plus le processus d’internationalisation tend à se faire à grande échelle ; et là aussi, l’influence de ces ressources est augmenté par l’intention stratégique d’internationalisation. Dans le cadre des études empiriques sur les born-globals (entreprises qui démarrent sur un marché globalisé), cette recherche fournit une des premières études empiriques reliant l’influence des conditions initiales de création aux probabilités de croissance internationale rapide.

Ein Beitrag zur Methode der ergonomischen Beurteilung des Einstiegs ausgewählter Nutzfahrzeuge

Ergonomic and biomechanical conditions of ingress-egress were investigated and modelled for lorry drivers. A variable buck and a motion capture system were developped and built. Ingress - egress motion was captured and analyzed for conditons representitive for a majority of lorries, and a cohort of male subjects. A fuzzy-neural network classifier was developed to assess the motion and advise optimum dimensions for lorry package design, based on minimum human stress and optimum comfort.

L’internationalisation des jeunes entreprises de hautes technologies : Le rôle des compétences internationales des fondateurs [The internationalization of new technology based firms : the role of the international skills of founding teams]

Extending recent research on the importance of specific resources and skills for the internationalization of start-ups, this article tests a negative binomial model on a sample of 520 recently created high technology firms from the UK and Germany. The results show that previous international experience of entrepreneurs facilitates the rapid penetration of foreign markets, especially when the company features a clear and deliberate strategic intent of internationalization from the outset. This research provides one of the first empirical studies linking the influence of entrepreneurial teams to a high probability of success in the internationalization of high-technology ventures.

Apprendre à bien lire : une étude coût efficacité des Actions Lecture

How to Improve Pupils' Literacy? A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of the Action Lecture This article presents a cost-effectiveness analysis of an innovative teaching method run in some nursery and primary schools in Paris. This project, named Action Lecture, is designed to improve pupils' abilities and taste on literacy. We report the results of an evaluation of this program. We describe the experimental protocol that was built to estimate the program's impact on several types of indicators (academic abilities, attitude toward reading, school life) by comparing the evolution of treatment schools and control schools. Data were processed following a Differences-in-Differences (DID) method. Then we use the estimation of the impact on academic achievement to conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis and take a reduction of the class size program as a benchmark. The results are positive for the Action Lecture program both in terms of impact's evaluation and in terms of cost-effectiveness ratio.
