Ramon Esquerra (1909-1938?) : geografia vital i crítica d'un esperit comparatista

La intenció d'aquesta tesi ha estat analitzar la dimensió biogràfica i crítica de Ramon Esquerra (1909-1938?). Es pretén arribar a la seva teoria a través de la seva pràctica, reconstruir el pensament global d'Esquerra a partir de l'obra dispersa que ens ha llegat i deixar constància d'un pensament literari -un pensament que mai no formularia de manera completa, però que existia i evolucionava a través de la ressenya de les obres d'altri o de la publicació de manuals i estudis-. L'activitat vital i professional de Ramon Esquerra parteix d'una autèntica passió per la literatura i la crítica literària. Aquesta activitat s'articula principalment i té el seu fruit en el camp del periodisme, la traducció i la docència. En tots tres camps, es revela com a intermediari i peça fonamental en la difusió de la literatura occidental i universal a Catalunya, que introdueix, primer, a través d'una crítica comparatista intuïtiva i, després, a través del model francès de la literatura comparada d'entreguerres, que disciplina la primera i en canvia bona part dels centres d'interès.

The Pedagogical Congresses of Portuguese Secondary Teaching : the participation of female teachers (1927-1928)

This paper was written within the context of the research project “The development of teacher’ associative organizations and unionism (1889-1990)” funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (Foundation for Science and Technology). Five important congresses about secondary education were organized in Portugal between 1927 and 1931. These congresses served to claim the rights of teachers and the consolidation of the class, as well as to promote the discussion of scientific and pedagogical problems. In these congresses, the presence of female teachers was residual. However, the few teachers who participated had a significant contribution to the definition of secondary education during the following decades. Among other issues, it contributed to the discussion of female education and to analyze the importance of Biology and Physical Education in high schools. This paper presents the analysis of the minutes of the 1927s and 1928s Congresses. This analysis allowed the assessment of the important role played by a group of teachers to define, at the end of the first third of the 20th century, the future guidelines of Portuguese secondary education. It also reported that these teachers were pioneers who opened the way for the increasing number of teachers in secondary education during the 20th century.

Saberes docentes mobilizados no ensino de EJA e sua relevância na vida cotidiana do aluno

A preocupação central desta pesquisa foi compreendermos quais os saberes docentes que o professor de EJA mobiliza na organização do seu trabalho em sala de aula e a relevância desses saberes no cotidiano do aluno de Escolas Estaduais da cidade de Garanhuns, Pernambuco, Brasil. A pesquisa foi conduzida com 100 discentes da EJA que estudam em quatro escolas da referida cidade e com oito docentes que lecionam nas referidas Instituições. Procedeu-se à aplicação de um questionário validado e adaptado aos discentes e uma entrevista semi-estruturada aos docentes dessa modalidade. A análise dos dados quantitativos foi realizada por meio do programa SPSS; enquanto a análise dos dados qualitativos foi orientada pela análise de discurso. Os resultados evidenciaram a falta de formação profissional específica dos docentes para trabalhar com a EJA, bem como a necessidade de uma política educacional voltada para essa modalidade de ensino, visto que, apesar de a maioria dos professores recorrerem aos diferentes saberes adquiridos em sua trajetória, a educação de jovens e adultos ainda expressa um reflexo de exclusão e ideologia apresentando bastante dificuldade. Assim, sugere-se que muito se tem a evoluir para que toda a potencialidade utilizada a favor do ensino de jovens e adultos obtenha sucesso, tanto para construção das práticas pedagógicas de seus docentes quanto para a facilitação do processo de ensino-aprendizagem com os alunos.
