A Gestão Documental na Autoridade Portuária de Barcelona

Este relatório de estágio representa o trabalho desenvolvido na Autoritat Portuària de Barcelona (APB), mais precisamente no Centro de Documentação da Autoridade Portuária de Barcelona, num período de 150 horas, onde tive a oportunidade de passar pelos diferentes serviços de documentação e realizar as tarefas inerentes a uma Instituição com idêntica tipologia àquela onde presto idêntica atividade em Portugal. Descreve-se a empresa e o trabalho desenvolvido no Centro de Documentação (CENDOC), considerando todas as funções desenvolvidas ao nível da gestão documental, na biblioteca, no arquivo intermédio, histórico e no arquivo fotográfico. O serviço de Arquivo agiliza a gestão de um fundo documental com mais de 3.900 metros lineares de documentos textuais, 500 metros lineares de documentação gráfica e cartográfica e 75.000 fotografias. Também gere o Património Cultural Móvel da APB, tanto o fundo documental do Arquivo Histórico (textual e imagens), como as coleções de objetos artísticos de interesse histórico e cultural (pinturas, esculturas, artes decorativas, cartas náuticas, modelos de navios). Toda a documentação do Arquivo Intermédio foi devidamente tratada, higienizada e organizada num novo espaço de arquivo, com melhores condições de acondicionamento. Aproveitando este trabalho, foi desenvolvido um novo Plano de Classificação em maio de 2012, no mesmo período que desenvolvi o estágio, a fim de melhorar o serviço de Arquivo. O serviço da Biblioteca tem ao alcance dos seus utilizadores um fundo de 1276 publicações periódicas e mais de 2.300 monografias, catalogadas no programa informático CDS/ISIS. A sua classificação é feita com base na Classificação Decimal Universal (CDU), e a partir de um tesauro especifico elaborado pelos técnicos do CENDOC. Enquanto Técnica Superior no Centro de Documentação e Informação na Administração do Porto de Lisboa (APL), o desenvolvimento deste estágio trouxe um importante contributo para o serviço que desempenho no Centro de Documentação e Informação na Administração do Porto de Lisboa. Este Estágio possibilitou, sem dúvida, um melhor conhecimento teórico e prático no âmbito das tarefas inerentes ao mesmo, e a capacitação para o desenvolvimento de projetos relacionados com as funções que desempenho, no Centro de Documentação e Informação da Administração do Porto de Lisboa.

Contributos da supervisão pedagógica para a promoção de uma educação ambiental

A educação ambiental apresenta-se hoje como mais uma valência de formação e de responsabilidades atribuídas à escola, dada a importância da dimensão da sustentabilidade na relação do homem com a natureza. A supervisão e a liderança podem desempenhar nesta pro-blemática um papel importante na promoção de uma visão humana e ética da abordagem da temática ecológica – que parece não estar a ter o sucesso desejado e necessário. Nas culturas tradicionais, e em todas as sociedades em que uma visão religiosa do mundo domina sobre o livre arbítrio de cada um, a natureza era objeto de um respeito ou mesmo veneração como obra divina. Mas com a relevância dos direitos individuais, sobretudo a partir do século XVIII, e com a crise de valores comunitários, aumento do individualismo e uma visão hedonista da existência, a usufruição imediata dos recursos tornou-se hábito e até paradigma de organização social. Uma análise crítica sobre o passado docente e uma consciência de responsabilidade ambiental desperta pela experiência de infância juntaram-se a uma reflexão sobre a responsa-bilidade educativa no sentido de desenvolver nos alunos não só as aprendizagens cognitivas mas também uma dimensão formativa global em que as perspetivas de responsabilidade soli-dária por um futuro sustentável pudessem estar presentes. É para estes valores que este projeto aponta.

Safe construction through design: perspectives from the site team

How does the work of designers impact on the safety of operatives at the construction site? Safety research and policy emphasize the importance of designing for safe construction, yet the interface between design and construction is poorly understood: accidents have multiple causes making it hard to establish causal links between design choices and safety outcomes. An in-depth case study of a major station project examines how professionals on the construction site perceive and manage the safety challenges of a building design. Analyses reveal understandings that, on the project studied, design has an impact on safety because of: (1) the timing of design work, where the volume of late design changes increased the difficulty of planning safe procedures, e.g. for working at height, lifting heavy items, refurbishing and demolishing old buildings; and (2) inputs from design stakeholders with insufficient practical knowledge of construction and operation required unplanned work-arounds, e.g. to coordinate different sub-systems, provide maintenance access, and manage loads during construction. These findings suggest that safety suffers where projects are under-designed, and that alongside regulation, there is a need for robust management attention to the contractual structures, incentives, processes and tools that enable clients and designers to understand material practices of construction and operation.

Stakeholder interpretations of design: Semiotic insights into the briefing process

Briefing phase interactions between clients and designers are recognized as social engagements, characterized by communicative sign use, where conceptual ideas are gradually transformed into potential design solutions. A semiotic analysis of briefing communications between client stakeholders and designers provides evidence of the significance and importance of stakeholder interpretation and understanding of design, empirical data being drawn from a qualitative study of NHS hospital construction projects in the UK. It is contended that stakeholders engage with a project through communicative signs and artefacts of design, referencing personal cognitive knowledge in acts of interpretation that may be different from those of designers and externally appointed client advisers. Such interpretations occur in addition to NHS client and design team efforts to ‘engage’ with and ‘understand’ stakeholders using a variety of methods. Social semiotic theorizations indicate how narrative strategies motivate the formulation of signs and artefacts in briefing work, the role of sign authors and sign readers being elucidated as a result. Findings are contextualized against current understandings of briefing communications and stakeholder management practices, a more socially attuned understanding of briefing countering some of the process-led improvement models that have characterized much of the post-Egan report literature. A stakeholder interpretation model is presented as one potential method to safeguard against unforeseen interpretations occurring, the model aligning with the proposal for a more measured recognition of how designs can trigger interpretations among client stakeholders.

Ways of knowing in ways of moving : A study of the meaning of capability to move

The overall aim of this thesis has been to investigate the meaning of the capability to move in order to identify and describe this capability from the perspective of the one who moves in relation to specific movements. It has been my ambition to develop ways to explicate, and thereby open up for discussion, what might form an educational goal in the context of movements and movement activities in the school subject of physical education and health (PEH). In this study I have used a practical epistemological perspective on capability to move, a perspective that challenges the traditional distinction between mental and physical skills as well as between theoretical and practical knowledge. Movement actions, or ways of moving, are seen as expressions of knowing. In order to explore an understanding of the knowing involved in specific ways of moving, observations of  actors’ ways of moving and their own experiences of moving were brought together. Informants from three different arenas took part: from PEH in upper secondary school, from athletics and from free-skiing. The results of the analyses suggest it is possible to describe practitioners’ developed knowing as a number of specific ways of knowing that are in turn related to specific ways of moving. Examples of such specific ways of moving may be discerning and modifying one’s own rotational velocity and navigating one’s (bodily) awareness. Additionally, exploring learners’ pre-knowing of a movement ‘as something’ may be fruitful when planning the teaching and learning of capability to move. I have suggested that these specific ways of knowing might be regarded as educational goals in PEH. In conducting this study, I have also had the ambition to contribute to the ongoing discussion of what ‘ability’ in the PEH context might mean. In considering specific ways of knowing in moving, the implicit and taken-for-granted meaning of ‘standards of excellence’ and ‘sports ability’can be discussed, and challenged.

Inovação e criatividade nas pequenas e médias empresas

The importance of small and medium enterprises for the economy of a country is fundamental because they have several strategic social and economic roles. Besides contributing to the production of national wealth, they also counterbalance the vulnerabilities of large companies providing the necessary economic balance. Socially their contribution is directly related to the lessening of unemployment, functioning also as source of stability in the community, as a means of reducing inequalities in the distribution of income among regions and economic groups, and contributes, decisively, to limit migration to urbans area. The capacity to innovate is now a key component for the survival and development of small organizations. The future today is increasingly less predictable using past parameters and the business world is more turbulent. The objective of this is to point out the need to revise the models which serve as examples for their adoption of competitive alternatives of development and to offer theoretical-practical knowledge to make possible the implementation of the innovative culture in small enterprises. It emphasizes, moreover, that in the present context, flexibility and skills to work in ambiguous situations and to find creative solutions become central concerns of businessmen and managers.

Trabalho e educação da classe operaria: a perspectiva politica da escola tecnica do Sindicato dos Metalurgicos - RJ

Esta dissertação procura refletir os pressupostos teóricos da relação trabalho-educação, a partir da vida real da classe operária, bem como a partir da prática político-pedagógica da escola técnica do Sindicato dos Metalúrgicos do Rio de Janeiro. Contextualizando o nexo entre a escola e a entidade de trabalhadores nos diferentes momentos do movimento sindical, procura resgatar a lógica da educação promovida pelos próprios operários-metalúrgicos. Ao tomar o trabalho como princípio educativo, analisa a experiência vivida por professores, operários-estudantes, dirigentes e ativistas sindicais na reconstrução do processo de produção pedagógica. Reflete então, a formação dos trabalhadores tendo como perspectiva o encontro entre o saber escolar e o saber prático do operariado adquirido no cotidiano da fábrica. Analisando a dicotomia trabalho manual/trabalho intelectual, o processo de automação da produção, a condição de classe do técnico industrial, entre outras questões, enfatiza a necessidade de se resgatar a unidade entre educação técnica e educação política da classe operária.

Normas internacionais de contabilidade: percepções dos peritos criminais federais sobre os impactos de sua adoção na atividade de perícia oficial realizada em fraudes contábeis no Brasil

Os impactos da adoção das Normas Internacionais de Contabilidade (IFRSs) tem sido objeto de debates nos meios profissionais e acadêmicos, entretanto, pouco tem sido pesquisado sobre as repercussões da adoção dos IFRSs na atividade pericial criminal. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo é captar e analisar a percepção dos Peritos Criminais Federais sobre os impactos da adoção dos IFRSs na atividade de perícia criminal oficial realizada em fraudes contábeis. Lastreou-se numa abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa utilizada para verificar associações entre as percepções, recorrendo-se ao teste Qui-quadrado de Pearson e a análise de conteúdo, respectivamente. Os resultados evidenciaram que a maior parte dos respondentes concorda parcial ou totalmente que a adoção dos IFRSs facilitará o trabalho de perícia criminal federal, encontrando associação estatística com a percepção de que fraudes cometidas sem engenharia financeira são mais fáceis de comprovar e com a percepção que um maior espaço para julgamentos técnicos tem impacto positivo na atividade de perícia criminal. Outros benefícios apontados foram o aumento da comparabilidade, a diminuição da complexidade e a valorização profissional. Entretanto, constatou-se como riscos a possibilidade de aumento nas contestações técnicas aos laudos periciais, o risco de viés e a necessidade de qualificação, porém sem associação estatística com a percepção de que os IFRSs facilitarão ou não o trabalho pericial. Não foram identificadas diferenças estatísticas de percepção em função do nível de conhecimento dos preceitos sobre os IFRSs e dos conhecimentos teóricos e práticos dos pesquisados. O estudo apresenta limitações que dizem respeito principalmente à generalização dos resultados, uma vez que a abordagem pretendida foi qualitativa e quantitativa e o número de questionários respondidos não possibilitou realizar testes estatísticos com maior robustez.

A mediação do diálogo e da reflexão na prática do supervisor pedagógico no município de Jardim de Piranhas/RN

In preparation for reviewing and reflect about the pedagogical practice of teaching supervisor, noting instances of continuing education in service, dialogue-based, reflective and shared as propelling in the construction of theoretical and practical knowledge is that we propose to undertake this research. Based in our professional practice and stimulated by the desire to contribute with the education in the city of Jardim de Piranhas-RN our intention was to highlight issues which arising from practice teaching, especially those guided in the principles of a continuing, dialogic and reflexive teachers training. In that sense we are encouraged to answer the following question. How has been developed the work of teaching supervisor in the city of Jardim de Piranhas and what kind of elements should be constituted by a continuing education in school if those elements are enhanced by a reflexive action and dialogue-based? Thus, we performed studies of theoretical foundation based in Nóvoa (1995, 2001, 2003), where he emphasizes the importance of take in account the practice itself as a source for the study in the construction of a new teaching practice process, in Alarcão (1999; 2001; 2002; 2003), Schön (1995, 2000), Tardif (2003) and Perrenoud (2002), Gomes (1998), Navarro (2005) and Oliveira (2006), among others, provided the basis to discuss the role of reflection and dialogue in the school and classroom. We still emphasize the ideas of Paulo Freire (1981; 1992; 1996; 2001; 2002), which is consistent with the proposal for a reflexive action and training. For this we adopted a methodology based in the qualitative research with field note, intending to observe the strategies which emerge in the educational supervisor practice. This practice should contribute to the training of teachers. In this process we chose three dimensions that provide structure and power in their work. So, we can describe as conceptual, strategic and changeable

As ciências da educação e a prática: sentidos atribuídos por estudantes do curso de Pedagogia

This study focuses on the initial formation of the pedagogue in college, especially the formation that takes place in the Pedagogy Course. It is bound by the following question: what senses are attributed by the Pedagogy Trainees regarding the relation between the Education Science knowledge and the Pedagogic Practice knowledge developed in the Pedagogy Course of UESB, in order to build up teaching knowledge and practice? Therefore it aims to reflect on the relations between the Education Science framework and the Pedagogic Practice under the supervised classes that belong to the Pedagogy Course. It presents the implications and contextualizations concerning the pedagogue formation as a historic and cultural process, emphasizing the current moment of this formation. It is based on the idea that the senses trainees, future pedagogues, attribute to their own formation process reflect on the learning of theorical and practical knowledge that validates the process of teachers formation, especially the pedagogue formation. Accordingly, it believes that the senses attributed by the students of teachers initial formation courses regarding the Education Science knowledge and Pedagogic Practice knowledge are essential as organizers in the construction of teaching knowledge and practice while the supervised classes take place. The theorical and methodological option is based on the studies of Qualitative Epistemology by Gonzalez Rey. Empiric studies took place at the Pedagogy Course of Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia (UESB), located in the city of Vitória da Conquista/Bahia. The students who took part in this research were six graduating ones, enrolled in the last two semesters of the referred course, stage when the supervised classes happen. The procedures used in the organization of collected information consist of analysis of documents such as the mentioned course curricular project and the students reports, besides interactive and provocative talks to the students. The results show the senses students attribute to Educational Science theorical basis to practice to Pedagogic Practice opportunity of feeling as if they were teachers and to the relation between Education Science and Pedagogic Practice opportunity of experiencing the relation between theory and practice. Besides, the theorizations students have about the relation between theory and practice in teachers formation are also presented. Consequently, it is emphasized that the supervised classes are the moments in which the trainees might understand the relations between thought and pedagogic practice, building the senses attributed to the relation between the Education Science knowledge and the ones of Pedagogic Practice as organizers in the teaching knowledge and practice. In this context, the trainees build some knowledge regarding what it means to be a teacher, which is not written or published, due to its subjective dimension, but circumscribed in their pedagogic practice while the supervised classes take place and when professional teaching practice becomes effective

O estágio supervisionado como contexto de formação docente específica para educação infantil: o que dizem os formandos sobre suas aprendizagens?

Kindergarten teachers training gains the spotlight with the passing of Law number 9.394/96 (Guidelines and Basis Law) that defines this segment as the initial step of basic education, with pedagogical function. In this spectrum, the discussion about teacher training unravels to ensure social quality to education as well as the teacher s specificities towards child singularities. Adding to that, the growing propagation of Pedagogy in an undergraduate level, given that such course has been continually transformed by the National Curriculum Guidelines for Pedagogy (2006), highlighting the addition of curriculum components that are specific to upbringing. The complex debate circa kindergarten teachers training has advancements and hardships that need to be unveiled in order to improve both formation and social quality of education in the 0- 5 years old range. This investigation inserts itself in said context and aims to analyze which knowledge, specific to kindergarten teaching are constructed, according to undergraduate trainees, in Pedagogy s supervised internship. The study was conducted alongside the discipline: Supervised Internship in Child Education ministered by the Advanced Campus of Rio Grande do Norte s State University s in the municipality of Patu-RN (CAP-UERN-Patu) and was conducted through 2012 by accompanying four undergraduate interns. We first assumed that the development of teaching knowledge is a complex process of appropriation of cultural-social practices and is symbolically mediated by interactions that occur in the formation context, and the supervised internship can be understood as a space for the articulation and enlargement of theoretical and practical knowledge, directly related to the specificities of child education. The theoretical-methodological foundation was based upon the historiccultural approach of L. S. Vygotsky and M. Bakhtin s dialogism on human sciences research, as well as his postulates on learning and developmental processes, conceived as both essentially social and discursive. The investigation approached the principles of the qualitative perspective and to the construction and analysis of data, involved documental analysis and, specially, semi-structured interviews, both individual and collective, whose fundamental premise was the production-comprehension of meanings in a dialogical perspective. The participants texts/speeches produced a synthesis that points to the occurrence, within the supervised internship at CAP/UERN, of internalization/appropriation processes and, as such, of formulation of meanings that are pertinent to child education: child, childhood, kindergarten and teacher signification and this stage s specific teaching knowledge. It stood out that the internship, alongside other curriculum components, is, in fact, one of the primeval formation environment for the teachers, in which the interns interact with their colleagues, supervisor professor, collaborator professor, and of course, the children to construct their erudition. Such interactions allow the undergraduate interns to develop attitudes and procedures to reflect on what they know, what they ve done and what they can achieve. We have concluded that the undergraduate internship can constitute itself as an articulatorconsolidator environment in the future teacher s formation process and, since well oriented, can provide the effective initiation, not only to the practice, but to the praxis as a movement of non dissociability between theory and practice

O tratamento odontológico sob o olhar da criança :um estudo de representações sociais

Oral health measures directed to children are characterized by the lack of policies that consider the individual and his biopsychosocial aspects. As a consequence, it can be observed that a child´s dental experience has normally been prejudged as unpleasant and threatening. Thus, this study is aimed at investigating dental treatment from the child´s viewpoint using the theory of social representations for theoretical/methodological support. This theory was selected for being able to build practical knowledge surrounding the interrelations between social actors, the phenomenon and the world around them. The investigation was performed at the Professor José Fernandes Machado State School, located in the Ponta Negra district of Natal-RN-Brazil. The participants consisted of 30 children from the public elementary school system in the 6-10 year age group, who had undergone dental treatment within the previous year or were being treated at the time of data collection. An in-depth interview and story drawing within a theme were used as collection instruments. Thematic Content Analysis (Bardin, 2002) was used to analyze the material collected in the interviews, whereas for story drawing within a theme, in addition to content analysis, the data were also analyzed by the Coutinho model (2001). The two instruments demonstrated similarity of content as well as complementarity and contained categories associated to the model for dental treatment in children, the description of the dental office environment., the perception of the image of the dentist, as well as psychological and behavioral manifestations. The results enable us to understand determinate reactions of the children in relation to dental treatment, which has been characterized by its technical-curative approach, where the motive for seeking treatment, the manner in which it is performed and the relation of the dentist with the child are all in evidence. Thus, this study intends not only to reveal the viewpoint of children faced with dental treatment, but also to contribute to a dental practice directed towards them, in this way instilling in the professionals who attend them a more concrete awareness of the needs, anxieties and feelings of these young patients

Modelo operacional do estudo de caso como estratégia de ensino na disciplina de enfermagem médico-cirúrgica: avaliação dos alunos

O estudo trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, com o objetivo de avaliar as contribuições e dificuldades sentidas pelos alunos, na utilização do Modelo Operacional do Estudo de Caso, proposto pelas autoras como uma das estratégias de ensino utilizada pela disciplina de Enfermagem Médico-Cirúrgica. Para instrumentalizar e operacionalizar a análise de conteúdo das respostas concedidas pelos alunos, utilizamos da análise temática, segundo Bardin. Com a realização desta investigação concluímos que os alunos reconhecem o modelo como estratégia de ensino na formação dos mesmos, principalmente, quanto ao conhecimento teórico-prático da assistência (70%) que este oferece, estimulando-os à autonomia na tomada de decisões e solução de problemas na área, além de incentivá-los na utilização do acervo da biblioteca. A outra contribuição está relacionada ao conhecimento referente à metodologia científica (30%), onde o modelo emerge a eles como uma estratégia de iniciação a esta atividade. As dificuldades sentidas pelos alunos na elaboração do estudo de caso ocorreram nas seguintes etapas: - no levantamento bibliográfico (58%), principalmente, quanto a falta de bibliografia específica e recente na área de enfermagem e ao não acesso dos alunos da graduação aos índices informatizados: - na redação do trabalho(27%), porém ao mesmo tempo revelando que o estudo de caso propiciou conhecimentos básicos de como elaborar e escrever um trabalho científico; dentre outras (15%).

Programa de saúde vocal para educadores: ações e resultados

TEMA: a voz do professor tem sido foco de estudos nas últimas duas décadas devido à alta ocorrência de alterações vocais nesta classe profissional, assim, reforçou-se a necessidade dos professores participarem de ações para garantir saúde vocal. Poucos são os estudos na literatura que descrevem programas e seus resultados. PROCEDIMENTOS: Descrever um Programa de Saúde Vocal desenvolvido no período 2002 a 2005, para educadores de ensino público (infantil e fundamental) do interior do Estado de São Paulo, composto por grupos básicos de voz oferecendo conhecimento teórico prático de cuidados vocais, com triagem da qualidade da voz dos participantes; grupos avançados buscando reorganização dos processos de fonação e do uso vocal em sala de aula. RESULTADOS: em média 56% dos educadores inscritos frequentaram as ações; 62,9% das vozes apresentavam distúrbios na triagem vocal com maioria em grau discreto; no início dos grupos avançados 100% dos educadores participantes referiram mais de 3 sintomas associados ao uso vocal, e após, somente 45% deles ainda de 4 a 13 sintomas; os dados de autopercepção vocal revelaram baixos escores de impacto da voz nas atividades profissionais. CONCLUSÃO: a descrição revelou a necessidade de ajustes constantes do programa para alcançar seus objetivos. A baixa participação às ações pode estar relacionada à presença de impacto discreto da voz nas atividades profissionais, fato a ser mais bem investigado no futuro, e o benefício constatado objetivamente da participação dos educadores nos grupos avançados de voz foi a diminuição na quantidade de sintomas vocais.
