O currículo domador e as tecnologias selvagens

Segundo uma perspetiva crítica e baseando-se em autores como Papert), Jonassen, Toffler, Robinson, Facer e Christensen, o artigo aborda a incorporação de tecnologias potencialmente transformadoras na escola, tão transformadoras que algumas delas (as TIC, por exemplo) têm tido poder suficiente para operarem mudanças radicais na maneira como vivemos e até como nos representamos, e como essas tecnologias acabam invariavelmente ao serviço do desenvolvimento do currículo, sem que daí advenham mudanças qualitativas importantes, quer para escola, muito menos para o próprio currículo. No caso particular das TIC, o artigo discute também como as propostas inovadoras do seu uso como ferramentas de aprendizagem desvinculadas dos modelos curriculares a priori, one-fits-all, desenvolvidas nomeadamente ao longo dos anos setenta e oitenta do século XX, foram sendo inexoravelmente suplantadas pelo uso de TIC ao serviço da didática e, mais recentemente, como suporte de plataformas digitais de distribuição de conteúdos curriculares.

A prática social, a tecnologia e a construção do currículo

Este artigo resulta de uma investigação qualitativa de natureza etnográfica, desenvolvida numa escola urbana do Funchal, na qual reflecte a acção dos alunos manuseando as ferramentas tecnológicas, na construção e manutenção de Weblogs. A noção de aprendizagem situada surge como um conceito transitório, onde de um lado, estão os processos cognitivos primários, e no outro, a prática social como fenómeno gerador da aprendizagem. Este currículo de aprendizagem emerge da participação em comunidade de prática. É a visão prescritiva da prática, das relações pedagógicas e de outras que os aprendizes constroem enquanto trabalham.

Bullying, envolvimento parental e percurso curricular: um estudo com alunos do 3º ciclo numa escola rural da Região Autónoma da Madeira

A investigação sobre o bullying reconhece que este fenómeno está disseminado nas relações estabelecidas pelos alunos com o grupo de pares no ambiente escolar e o entendimento dos mecanismos subjacentes ao desenvolvimento das ações de bullying deve integrar uma perspetiva sistémica. Um aluno está a ser vítima de bullying quando este encontra-se exposto, repetidamente e ao longo do tempo a ações negativas realizadas por um ou mais estudantes causando dor e sofrimento na vítima. O envolvimento parental na escola pode beneficiar os alunos, os professores e as famílias correlacionando-se positivamente com o desempenho académico dos alunos. A finalidade do currículo escolar consiste na aquisição de competências e conhecimento fundamentais para o desenvolvimento das dimensões cognitivas, emocionais e sociais dos discentes. O presente estudo pretende analisar a relação entre os comportamentos de bullying na escola, o envolvimento parental na escola e o percurso curricular dos alunos de uma escola pública da Região Autónoma da Madeira (RAM). A amostra é constituída por 270 alunos do 3º ciclo do ensino básico, com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 18 anos. Para a avaliação dos fenómenos foram utilizados métodos mistos de investigação. Para a recolha de dados foram utilizados o Questionário para o Estudo da Violência entre os Pares de Freire, Simão, e Ferreira (2006) e as Escalas de Sucesso Escolar de Gouveia (2008). Na análise dos dados foram utilizadas as correlações, a regressão múltipla, e a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a prevalência do bullying na escola é relativamente baixa e que os rapazes são maioritariamente as vítimas e os agressores. Os resultados indicam que os alunos com um maior envolvimento em comportamentos de bullying apresentam perceções elevadas de envolvimento educativo parental e apenas os alunos agressores apresentam perceções reduzidas de apoio parental emocional. Verificou-se também que o envolvimento parental pode ser considerado um preditor do envolvimento dos alunos em comportamentos de bullying assim como as retenções escolares não predizem o envolvimento dos alunos neste tipo de comportamentos. Os resultados deste estudo fornecem pistas relevantes para a intervenção no fenómeno do bullying na escola integrando as escolas, as famílias, os alunos e as comunidades.

Oficina de artes: um espaço para práticas pedagógicas inovadoras?

O objetivo deste estudo visa compreender como as crianças e os jovens se relacionam para aprender, num espaço de socialização cultural e de contexto educativo não-formal, no campo das artes plásticas, na comunidade de prática: Espaço das artes, no Funchal. Perceber se, nesse contexto educativo, há lugar a práticas pedagógicas inovadoras, susceptíveis de estimularem o desenvolvimento do conhecimento. Para interpretar o fenómeno educativo, recorri à metodologia etnográfica, no âmbito da abordagem qualitativa, observei os indivíduos no seu ambiente natural recorrendo à observação participante, o que implicou o contacto com alguma duração, para observar do ponto de vista de quem vai ser observado, tornando-me no outro, para depois compreender melhor pelo lado de quem está por dentro. A observação, o diário de bordo etnográfico, a fotografia, o áudio, conversas informais e entrevistas etnográficas foram os instrumentos utilizados; os dados foram sujeitos a análise de conteúdo e as categorias daí derivadas foram: o conhecimento, as competências sócio-afetivas e a inovação. Verifica-se que os aprendizes aprendem, com prazer, a desenvolver e expressar a sua capacidade criativa através do desenho e da pintura, num contexto de aprendizagem situada e colaborativa com monitores ou outros aprendizes mais capazes em determinada atividade e onde a instrução não é organizada. Conclui-se que há indícios fortes de inovação pedagógica.

A transversalidade no currículo do ensino fundamental: as questões ambientais em foco

This thesis is the result of an investigation about the transversality of the environmental issues into the daily curriculum of High Schools (from first to eighth grade). The research field was the county of Santo Antonio de Jesus in the state of Bahia, Brazil. The investigation is related with the challenge that the present model of social development and organization has put to the school institution: to bring the regular discussion about Environmental Education (EE) to the school s daily life. Facing the complexity of the socio-environmental issues and the basic functions of Education, the object of study was restricted to the identification of the challenges and paradoxes of the EE inside the curriculum organization of Politic-Pedagogic Project of the schools and the teachers daily practices. About the methodology, we adopted different references for the qualitative research: sociology, history, economy, and education. As for the investigative procedures about the teacher s practices, we related the school s daily practices to the context of the community. We also adopted several investigative procedures, such as questionnaires, interviews, observations and formative intervention. The theoretical basis was organized based on references to curriculum organization, environmental culture, teacher education and also considering the pillars of a capitalistic system that is based on consumerism and that generates social exclusion. At the initial considerations, we contextualized the contemporary environmental issues in an attempt to interpret the conditions of the EE transversality into the school s daily practices, which are still oriented to the traditional Cartesian Education. Based on the collected data, we found the reasons for the teachers dilemma and reluctances to the insertion of the environmental issues into the organization of the work plan and into the management of a school. Nevertheless, the results also signed promising possibilities to the EE tranversality, in case the curriculum of the school could be more sensible towards the cultural and social-economical issues of a community. We especially questioned The National Curriculum Parameter s (PCN), which is considered highly insufficient to inform the teachers about the environmental issues, facing the actual local conditions of social and pedagogic work. The final considerations showed the role and the importance of this research as one strategy to organize the curriculum education into the perspective of the transversality of environmental issues inside the education of both teacher and student

Theatrical phenomenon borned in the Italy the Comedy dell Art concerned to it climax in the XVI century and spreading itself by the word than can be sight like the theatre base modern. Lasting parallel the conventional theatre since the three hundred years, this gender influenced significativly the making theatrical in the Europe graces the popular character of its simulation turned for the improvise. In spite of treat a theatric manifestation no more existing in the present time, we understand that the Comedy dell Art was constituted in one artistic language whose esthetics centralized in the popular fanciful and in the improvise permitted a rich possibility of verbal and not-verbal communication that today can to be taken again in contemporary productions theatricals. Departing of an approach of esthetics, this work has with purpose concentrate the references esthetics that configure that one artistic manifestation such that one references can contribute for the Arts teaches in the present times. We appeal the text and image of Comedy dell Art, such this historical reference that in context, with fountain investigated that mean and if complementary in one esthetic reflection for the creation of meaning diverse and news interpretations for the purpose investigated if having with base some analysis categories such as: the actor s body, the actuations spaces and the esthetics categories such the ugly, the comic and the absurd. To investigate the Comedy dell Art esthetic in the ambit of the teach of Arts Scenics is a manner of be understand the artistic universe of three century behind that can be meant, revived, in the marking possibilities of an art teach able to incentive the critical, the appreciation, the discussion and the transgression of instituted true. Having investigated the exhibition Comedy dell Art esthetic we rebound four stich that we judge significative for we think the Arts Scenics teach, they are: the articulation between actor s body, the text and the space actuation in the play; statement what it is given between actor s body and the on-looker and the every gesture that did share of scene in a popular scenic space; a conception actor s body that transgress with the true duty socially that is capable the to admit its dimension Dionysian, creative and ambiguous in the to do theatrical; the text conception that get beyond the ambit the word writing by the dramatist and talked by actors, if spreading the other elements significance in the scene like gesture, the parody, the recent news, the gags and the word used in the day-to-day; the scenic space like a statement symbolic between actors and on-looker that make a quality of amusement pact supported by the scenic true of artist that actuate in not usual spaces bid at an auctioning degrees of participation in the building the scenic phenomenon; and the importance of esthetics categories such as the ugly, the comic and the absurd, those categories that foundation like a do scenic transgressor make a possible exchange mutual between actor and appreciator.

The main formative needs suggested by the research were knowledge on child development and child learning, and the need of an Arts curriculum proposal for the initial grades of Elementary School. From those data, a reflexive context was built with the participant teachers to give a new meaning to Arts teaching practice in the first years of Elementary School. Finally, it was shown that the Arts teacher formation must be broad and involve not only specific knowledge on Arts, but also knowledge about childhood. It was also clearly shown that a curriculum review in education undergraduate courses must be considered, besides the offering of a continual formation to teachers already giving classes. Concerning the Arts curriculum proposal, it should be done based on a work joining officials of Municipal Education, research and formation institutions and teachers working in the first years of Elementary School. Finally, the work highlights the Arts are essential in all levels of Elementary School, since its first years, and it must be taught and learnt since childhood

A mid the many transformations and advances that the contemporary society is going through, the right to education is a topic that does not end and becomes increasingly present, given the urgency of including students with disabilities in education. Given this new reality, schools are challenged to receive them with quality, and implement actions that promote favorable conditions for their development at school. Accordingly, it is fundamental the organizational restructuring of education to meet the specific needs of students. Thus, it is imperative that educational institutions defining the type of person who intend to form and the society proposing to build. These are aspects that precede any question, since the knowledge covered in the curriculum will contribute directly to the creation of human beings are involved there.

The present study aims to investigate the conceptions of teachers and management team of the Colégio Nossa Senhora das Neves - Natal / RN about curriculum, school architecture and possible relationships established between these components. To develop the study, we rely on the theoretical contributions of Viñao Frago (2001), Escolano (2001); Benconstta (2005), among others, about the architecture school, and with regard to curriculum, ancoramo us in theoretical reflections Silva (2000, 2006, 2008). We assume that the school place is a social construct and as such, reflects the interests of certain groups, to organize, establish ways to condition their unctions and uses. In this space, people's lives is planned, both those who work there, as those who study there. Thus, the architecture school promotes, through representations, signs, symbols and shapes, certain charges that impact the ways of being and acting subjects by establishing appropriation and expropriation of rights and legitimate forms of inclusion and exclusion. Thus, it is an expression of power. A power that is expressed in the form of lead the way people should behave in a certain space. Clarity on these aspects of the architecture school is important, since in the same way that the opinion of several experts is important to discuss the adequacy of school architecture (environmentalists, architects, engineers, planners), the / the teacher / and the / as managers / must also meet the educational nature of the architecture school, so as to present its share of contribution in order to make the post-school conducive to learning multiple. From this perspective, we analyze the concepts of four teachers and eight individuals who are part of the management team of the CNSN, whose views were seized through participant observation, semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis. The construction of the data indicated levels of conceptual curriculum varied, ranging from those rooted in traditional theories of curriculum as those regarding the curriculum tied to discursive and contextual aspects. The conceptions of architecture school, predominantly focused on the aspects of the architecture school materials and most established subject, differently, relations between curriculum and school architecture

Não é que eu sei ser professora!: formação continuada e construção do currículo da matemática para o ciclo de alfabetização

Esta dissertação investiga como a prática da formação continuada em Matemática dos professores do Núcleo de Educação da Infância/Colégio de Aplicação (NEI/CAp) tem possibilitado a construção do currículo da Matemática para o ciclo de alfabetização nessa instituição. Assumimos os princípios metodológicos da abordagem qualitativa com ênfase na pesquisa colaborativa. Privilegiamos atividades de formação continuada organizadas em sessões de estudos e reflexões sobre a prática pedagógica que envolveram todos os partícipes. Para a construção dos dados realizamos a escolha de instrumentos e procedimentos metodológicos como a entrevista individual e as sessões reflexivas de videoformação e de estudo. Com a intensão de responder a questão central da pesquisa definimos duas categorias de interpretação: a formação continuada em Matemática dos professores do NEICAp dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental e a construção do currículo da Matemática dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental nesta escola. Constatamos que a prática da formação continuada em Matemática acontece dentro da própria instituição e tem como interesse, além da formação permanente dos seus professores, o desenvolvimento da escola e a aprendizagem dos alunos. Avaliamos que por meio de estudos e reflexões sobre as práticas docentes, análises de propostas pedagógicas de Secretarias de Educação e de outros documentos oficiais do Ministério da Educação, em momentos de formação continuada em contextos vivenciadas pelos professores do NEI/CAp, vem sendo possível construir o currículo desta instituição e, consequentemente, a sua proposta curricular, na qual privilegiamos a área da Matemática
