Influência das representações sociais do pesquisador na análise de dados de entrevistas: um estudo no campo da educação especial

Social representations are values and ideas shared and transmitted by a group of individuals. This article aims to investigate how researchers’ social representations can influence their analysis of an interview. Data were collected from 28 students participating in a course on interview analysis. Students were divided into three groups. Each group received the same excerpt of a transcript, but with different characterizations of the interviewee: for Group 1, it was a young man who had studied in a public school; for Group 2, the subject had attended a special education school for people with intellectual disabilities; for Group 3, he had studied at a private school. The three groups were asked to analyze the interview and submit a written document describing their analysis. The data revealed that the students carried out interpretive synthesis, descriptive synthesis, and thematic analysis. Interpretations of content data indicated that participants in Groups 1 and 3 attributed negative representations to the interviewee and/or to public or private school. In contrast, participants in Group 2, which was told that the interviewee had intellectual disabilities, attributed positive representations to the interviewee and to the special education school. The conclusion indicates the urgency for theoretical and practical training of young researchers regarding analysis of interviews so that the representations do not lead to biased results. The comparison of the results with an earlier similar study points to a probable change in representations of people with intellectual disabilities.

Atitudes sociais em relação à inclusão: estudos brasileiros

An important component of the Inclusive Education can be the social attitudes toward inclusion presented by teachers, students and other members of the school community. The aim of this paper is to systematize main fidings of some Brazilian studies concerning that theme. The results of studies in which the Likert Scale of Social Attitudes toward Inclusion was used are summarized. Twelve studies were analyzed, examining the relationship between the social attitudes toward inclusion and some subjects characteristics, highlighting the chronological age, formation area, educational experience and previous experience with people with deficiency. The results were not able to demonstrate in a conclusive way the nature of the relationship between each of these variables and the social attitudes toward inclusion. These seem to be affected by a group of complexly related variables of the subjects and of the target of social attitudes.

Reféns na Cidadela Inimiga:a relação universidade-movimentos sociais na América Latina

This article discusses the recent historical contingencies that placed the universitary left on the defensive and, simultaneously, the attempts of approach of some researchers-extensionists with social movements. To put in historical perspective the discussion of the relation between universities and social movements in historical perspective, we rescued the Córdoba reform (argentine university reform of 1918), the teachings of Latin American classic authors, and we produced an overview about the Reform and the long cycle of educational counter-reform in Latin America. Regarding the relation between universities and social movements, we focus on the analysis of experiences in the fields of popular habitation, agroecology and recovered factories, once we believe that these experiences bring advances in self-management, decommodification, intellectual-social movements, etc. However, these are by no means free of contradictions.

Novos Movimentos Sociais Classistas

Este artigo examina a relação entre a orientação ideológica adotada por um conjunto de movimentos sociais que recolocam no debate o seu pertencimento de classe, concluindo que o adjetivo classista se aplica apenas àqueles movimentos cuja retórica identifica este pertencimento com o lugar ocupado pela base social nas relações sociais de produção.

Movimentos Sociais no Brasil de 2008 a 2013 - um brevíssimo exame da literatura sobre sua influência na formulação das Políticas Públicas

O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar sumariamente tendências importantes na literatura acadêmica a respeito dos movimentos sociais entre 2008 e 2013 e seu nexo com a formulação de políticas públicas. Ele apresenta os resultados embrionários e iniciais de uma pesquisa ressaltando o caráter dinâmico e complexo do tema, apontando a necessidade de uma avaliação atenta às particularidades que uma avaliação sobre tais movimentos políticos demanda, sugerindo uma “tradução” ou ressignificação enriquecedora da compreensão dos mesmos, em conformidade com a formulação do italiano Antonio Gramsci.

Colaboração científica na temática redes sociais: análise bibliométrica do ENANCIB no período 2009 - 2010

The aim of this research is to point out the most productive researchers and institutions in the “Social Network” theme, in the ENANCIBs, from 2009 to 2010, as well as to describe their institutional scientific collaboration network. As research procedure, we searched for works with the entry network in the annuals of the event. 169 works were found, from which 120 were developed in co-authorship by 40 institutions. A matrix with the institutional coauthorships was created and the scientific collaboration network was reached. The results point out the same number of both most productive institutions and most productive authors. As for the scientific collaboration network, it is relevant that 37 institutions are interconnected by co-authorship. It’s also relevant that the studies in social network have been more and more present in the Information Science, mainly as investigative method for the construction of knowledge.

Atitudes sociais de professoras de um município de médio porte do Paraná em relação à inclusão

The social attitudes of teachers are considered highly relevant variables in the process of construction of school inclusion. The aim of the study was to describe the elementary school teachers’ social attitudes towards the inclusion and to identify the variables related to them. The sample consisted of 172 female teachers with ages ranging from 18 to 57, mean age of 37 and standard deviation of 7,9 years of age. A questionnaire was used to describe the participants. A Likert Scale of social attitudes towards inclusion was used. The results show that the chronological age, the level of basic training, the area of specialization, and the time of teaching experience have no significant effect on the social attitudes. The teachers with experience in teaching disabled students were more favorable towards the inclusion than those without such experience. It was concluded that the social attitudes towards inclusion may be complexly determined by different variables, demanding further studies for its enlightenment.

Educação e lutas sociais no Brasil pós-ditadura: da democratização à ausência de alternativas

Analisam-se os fundamentos do processo de democratização da sociedade brasileira e seus impactos no campo da educação. Pressupõe-se que: a) democracia não é um conjunto dado de valores; b) as sociedades capitalistas são estruturalmente desiguais, incompatíveis com qualquer noção substantiva de igualdade; c) o Estado não é o lócus da realização do interesse geral; d) os conflitos de classes formam o terreno histórico no qual se objetivam as possibilidades democráticas. Com base nisso, afirma-se que tanto nas relações sociais em geral, como na educação, efetivou-se um processo de democratização no Brasil pósDitadura, fruto dos conflitos sociais que encaminharam a sociedade brasileira a conquistas favoráveis às classes trabalhadoras. Processo este que foi contraditório: de um lado, estavam as forças populares, para as quais democratização implicava conquista de direitos e participação nos processos decisórios; de outro lado, as forças que desejavam preservar a ordem vigente, ainda que tivessem de acatar mudanças na sua configuração (de Ditadura para um regime de direito). Nas conclusões argumentamos que, com a chamada redemocratização, houve certa abertura para uma democracia mais substantiva, capaz de dar vazão aos conflitos sociais. Abertura que logo se reverteu com o neoliberalismo, o que vem levando a um contexto de crescente ausência de alternativas.
