Letramento no tr��nsito: eventos e pr��ticas na formação de condutores de ve��culos

In the contemporary society, the language is presented in all social spaces and assumes many different purposes in order to meet the needs that emerge from each of these sphere. In traffic, this reality is not different. To guide vehicles, it is necessary to know, by means of reading artifacts, what the legislation establishes in what concerns the way to act in this domain. Thus, this works aims at describing the practices of literacy held in events of driver trainings and know the expectations generated by drivers/learners from this training. In theoretical terms, it anchors in Literacy Studies, comprehended here as social practices (BARTON; HAMILTON, 1998; KLEIMAN, 1995, 2008; MORTATTI, 2004; STREET, 1984; OLIVEIRA, 2008, 2010; ROJO, 2009; PAZ, 2008). Genre Theory (BRONCKART, 2004, 1999; OLIVEIRA, 2010) and in your multimodal instance (KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN, 1996; DION��SIO, 2006). In terms of methodology, it follows the bias of qualitative research, because of its ethnographic nature (BOGDAN; BIKLEN, 1994; MINAYO, 2010; CAN��ADO, 1994; CHIZZOTTI, 2005). The research corpus was generated by reading the Brazilian Traffic Code, by observing the literacy events held in Drivers Training Centers of Natal, analysis of course books used in these events, plus questionnaires with open and closed questions and semistructured interviews. The collaborators are constituted of drivers in training, and instructors who work in this field. The analyses show significant contributions regarding the placement more committed of future drivers with the welfare and safety of those who use the public roads, from the practice or reading done during the traffic training. The contribution of this work lies in the possibility to expand the discussion about the language practice uses regarding the training for the traffic, more specifically, the training of drivers of vehicles

Pr��ticas de letramento digital de professores em formação: demandas, saberes e impactos

Over the last decades, the digital inclusion public policies have significantly invested in the purchase of hardwares and softwares in order to offer technology to the Brazilian public teaching institutions, specifically computers and broadband Internet. However, the teachers education to handle these artefacts is put away, even though there is some demand from the information society. With that, this dissertation chooses as an object of study the digital literacy practices performed by 38 (thirty-eight) teachers in initial and continuous education by means of the extension course Literacies and technologies: portuguese language teaching and cyberculture demands. In this direction, we aim at investigating the digital literacy practices of developing teachers in three specific moments: before, while and after this extension action with the intent to (i) delineate the digital literacy practices performed by the collaborators before the formative action; (ii) to narrate the literacy events made possible by the extension course; (iii) to investigate the contributions of the education course to the collaborators teaching practice. We sought theoretical contributions in the literacy studies (BAYNHAM, 1995; KLEIMAN, 1995; HAMILTON; BARTON; IVANIC, 2000), specifically when it comes to digital literacy (COPE, KALANTZIS, 2000; BUZATO, 2001, 2007, 2009; SNYDER, 2002, 2008; LANKSHEAR & KNOBEL, 2002, 2008) and teacher education (PERRENOUD, 2000; SILVA, 2001). Methodologically, this virtual ethnography study (KOZINETS, 1997; HINE, 2000) is inserted into the field of Applied Linguistics and adopts a quali-quantitative research approach (NUNAN, 1992; D��RNYEI, 2006). The data analysis permitted to evidentiate that (i) before the course, the digital literacy practices focused on the personal and academic dimensions of their realities at the expense of the professional dimension; (ii) during the extension action, the teachers collaboratively took part in the hybrid study sessions, which had a pedagogical focus on the use of ICTs, accomplishing the use of digital literacy practices - unknown before that; (iii) after the course, the attitude of the collaborator teachers concerning the use of ICTs on their regular professional basis had changed, once those teachers started to effectively make use of them, promoting social visibility to what was produced in the school. We also observed that teachers in initial education acted as more experienced peers in collaborative learning process, offering support scaffolding (VYGOTSKY, 1978; BRUNER, 1985) to teachers in continuous education. This occurred because of the undergraduates actualize digital literacy practices were more sophisticated, besides the fact being integrate generation Y (PRENSKY, 2001)

Formação de professores de assentamentos rurais do Rio Grande do Norte: representa����es, mem��rias e pr��ticas de letramento

This work has as study object the representations that teachers have about literacy, and schooling, as well as their memories and their reading and writing practices in the formation process of teachers in rural areas of the State of Rio Grande do Norte. We focused our discussion in literacy practices constructed on language workshops, assumed as necessary for the teacher formation, the existence of a pedagogical context that allows developing the appropriate teaching action. These workshops aimed at creating a space of constant reflection and action. The corpus is composed of letters written by teachers in formation workshops and interviews emphasizing questions of literacy, schooling, memories and reading and writing practices. These teachers make use of literacy practices related to the plots which they belong to. This research is informed mainly by studies that discuss the Literacy (Street, 1984, 1995; Barton, 1998; Freire, 1978, 1980, 1990, 1996), focusing its political character and of inclusion to the literate world, the Social Representations (Moscovici, 1978) and the studies on genre as a discoursive practice (Fairclough, 2001). Methodologically, this research is of critical ethnographic nature (Cameron, 1992). The letters are disclosed as identity practices - pictures of life histories of the teachers. The analyses of the interviews, in turn, show the literacy multifaceted character, evidencing innumerable views on the phenomenon

Foucault e a arte do cuidado de si: uma nova possibilidade de Discuss��o para a formação continuada de professores de l��ngua inglesa

This thesis proposes a new thinking on the English teacher and their continuing education, leaving the picture emerging of a new professional, who is producing and being produced. From this perspective, I present an analysis of self writing of thirteen student-teachers, teachers on how they position themselves to be discursively constituted as subjects in the context of continuing education. As part of Applied Linguistics, the theory and method that supports the analysis of data are articulate key elements of Foucault notions, namely:The care of the self, seeking their connection with one another and care of and the self writing. In the theoretical notions of these elements are implied notions of others, such as speech, ethics, technology of the self, subject and truth. (Foucault, 1984, 1995, 2004c, 2006), and questioning the ethics of the subject. I propose to examine selected excerpts from the self writings of student teachers with a specialization in Teaching and Learning the English Language, seeking linguistic processes in the material production of subjectivities.In order to analyze the process of subjectivation, I examine the discursive statements of selected cuts, aiming to learn more specifically, the points of identification and fragments of the uniqueness of the teachers, showing how they care for themselves and reflect upon them in building their subjectivity from the technologies of the self, to occupy the position of English Language teachers. The results show that, in the exercise of self writing, the subject falls, and a practice of asceticism, discursively construct her/his subjectivity

Eensino de l��ngua portuguesa: da formação do professor �� sala de aula

La reflexi��n cr��tica sobre la escuela y los quehaceres docentes ha favorecido la producci��n y la sistematizaci��n de nuevos saberes basados en fundamentos cient��ficos, principalmente sobre las pr��cticas pedag��gicas. En la ense��anza de Lengua Portuguesa, las investigaciones buscan comprender lo qu�� y c��mo se ense��a y se aprende durante la escolarizaci��n. En esa perspectiva, realizamos un estudio sobre la formaci��n del profesor de Lengua Portuguesa y sus implicaciones en la clase, buscando observar la actuaci��n de los alumnos-maestros en el contexto escolar, durante la realizaci��n de las Pr��cticas. Para tanto, elegimos como objetivo general, investigar c��mo la carrera de Filolog��a de la UFRN/CERES/Campus de Currais Novos promov��a la formaci��n de futuros profesores para atender a las expectativas de las pol��ticas p��blicas para la ense��anza de Lengua Materna. Como referencial te��rico, estudiamos los PCN, el proyecto pol��tico pedag��gico de la carrera y autores del ��rea de ense��anza de Lengua Portuguesa y de Educaci��n, entre ellos, Geraldi (1996), Travaglia (1996, 2003), Antunes (2003, 2007, 2009 y 2010), Lomas (2003), Figueiredo (2005), Marcuschi (2001, 2008), Oliveira (2010), Riolfi et al. (2008), Possenti (2003), Alarc��o (1996, 2001) Imbern��n (2011), Pimenta y Lima (2010) y Sch��n (1993). El estudio est�� situado en el ��mbito de la Ling����stica Aplicada y se caracteriza como investigaci��n cualitativa de naturaleza interpretativista, a partir de un abordaje de inspiraci��n etnogr��fica del ambiente de las Pr��cticas. En los resultados constatamos que los alumnos-maestros privilegian la ense��anza prescriptiva, fundamentado en una concepci��n de lengua como sistema, direccionando la ense��anza de la lengua para la direcci��n contraria al abordaje funcionalista (lengua / uso), distanci��ndose considerablemente de la propuesta de formar un alumno cr��tico y agente de transformaci��n. Respecto a la visi��n de los alumnos-maestros sobre la carrera, fueron listadas algunas cuestiones relevantes, entre ellas, los contenidos que hacen parte de la carrera, la distribuci��n de la carga horaria de los componentes curriculares, la revisi��n de las ementas, la oferta de asignaturas de inclusi��n social, la reorganizaci��n de las actividades de la pr��ctica en relaci��n al acompa��amiento y orientaci��n a los alumnos-maestros y, especialmente, la desarticulaci��n teor��a / pr��ctica que fue considerada como responsable por muchas de las dificultades encontradas por los referidos alumnos en la fase de regencia de clase en la ense��anza de Lengua Portuguesa en los niveles de ense��anza fundamental y media. De ese modo, a partir del an��lisis de estos significados construidos por los alumnos-maestros sobre el proceso de formaci��n en esa carrera de Letras, constatamos la necesidad de una revisi��n del proyecto de la carrera, pues ��ste presenta esas fragilidades que necesitan ser analizadas en funci��n de la mejor��a de la calidad de la ense��anza de la graduaci��n

Narrativas de professores em formação sobre a didatiza����o de podcasts para o ensino de ingl��s na floresta

Considering the following conditions: (1) the fluency demands of students in an undergraduate program in Languages and Literatures/English in the Amazon region; (2) the listening and speaking needs of pre-service teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL); (3) my continuing education as a professor of EFL and my academic literacy as a teacher-researcher and pre-service-teacher trainer, this study, which is based on Narrative Inquiry, reports on a teacher experience of working didactically with oral genres through podcasting an activity that emerged with the advent of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Through this process, I engage with some theorists who promote teaching as a process that is driven by a concept of language as social practice. Subsequently, I make use of the notions of context of culture and context of situation, derived from Systemic Functional Linguistics, as well as the concept of genre and register derived from the perspective of this theory. Based on these principles and beliefs, the Amazon region constitutes the register (situation) of the genres used in this study. These principles also provide, opportunities for building learning strategies appropriate to this local context, and also to teach listening and speaking skills from a task-based approach. During the experience, based on the reflective teacher-education model, the participants produced narratives about the process, which I then analyzed according to Ely, Vinz, Downing and Anzul (2001), who propose possibilities of composing meanings in Narrative Inquiry. Based on this perspective, I discuss the following topics, which were highly emphasized in the participants narratives: the lack of didactic activities using oral genres; the relevance of context within teacher education; and collaborative work as a strategy to overcome gaps in digital literacy, language fluency and teaching skills. The meanings I thereby compose point to a paradigm shift in English language teaching within this context. I also argue for a pedagogical practice that is engaged with historical and socio-cultural issues, and with the development of language skills, also one that promotes the implementation of ICTs at the very start of teacher training programs, adopting teaching and learning strategies that correspond to the demands of fluency in this particular context, and deficiencies imposed by geographical isolation

Formação de caudas maxwellianas no Contexto da rota����o estelar

In this Thesis, we analyzed the formation of maxwellian tails of the distributions of the rotational velocity in the context of the out of equilibrium Boltzmann Gibbs statistical mechanics. We start from a unified model for the angular momentum loss rate which made possible the construction of a general theory for the rotational decay in the which, finally, through the compilation between standard Maxwellian and the relation of rotational decay, we defined the (_, _) Maxwellian distributions. The results reveal that the out of equilibrium Boltzmann Gibbs statistics supplies us results as good as the one of the Tsallis and Kaniadakis generalized statistics, besides allowing fittings controlled by physical properties extracted of the own theory of stellar rotation. In addition, our results point out that these generalized statistics converge to the one of Boltzmann Gibbs when we inserted, in your respective functions of distributions, a rotational velocity defined as a distribution

Formação estelar desencadeada pela colis��o entre nuvens moleculares magnetizadas

We use a finite diference eulerian numerical code, called ZEUS 3D, to do simulations involving the collision between two magnetized molecular clouds, aiming to evaluate the rate of star formation triggered by the collision and to analyse how that rate varies depending on the relative orientations between the cloud magnetic fields before the shock. The ZEUS 3D code is not an easy code to handle. We had to create two subroutines, one to study the cloud-cloud collision and the other for the data output. ZEUS is a modular code. Its hierarchical way of working is explained as well as the way our subroutines work. We adopt two sets of different initial values for density, temperature and magnetic field of the clouds and of the external medium in order to study the collision between two molecular clouds. For each set, we analyse in detail six cases with different directions and orientations of the cloud magnetic field relative to direction of motion of the clouds. The analysis of these twelve cases allowed us to conform analytical-theoretical proposals found in the literature, and to obtain several original results. Previous works indicate that, if the cloud magnetic fields before the collision are orthogonal to the direction of motion, then a strong inhibition of star formation will occur during a cloud-cloud shock, whereas if those magnetic fields are parallel to the direction of motion, star formation will be stimulated. Our treatment of the problem confirmed numerically those results, and further allowed us to quantify the relative star forming efficiencies in each case. Moreover, we propose and analyse an intermediate case where the field of one of the clouds is orthogonal to the motion and the field of the other one is parallel to the motion. We conclude that, in this case, the rate at which the star formation occurs has a value also intermediate between the two extreme cases we mentioned above. Besides that we study the case in which the fields are orthogonal to the direction of the motion but, instead of being parallel to each other, they are anti-parallel, and we obtained for this case the corresponding variation of the star formation rate due to this alteration of the field configuration. This last case has not been studied in the literature before. Our study allows us to obtain, from the simulations, the rate of star formation in each case, as well as the temporal dependence of that rate as each collision evolves, what we do in detail for one of the cases in particular. The values we obtain for the rate of star formation are in accordance with those expected from the presently existing observational data

A diversidade de interpreta����es como fator constituinte da formação docente: leitura e observa����o

Neste artigo apresentamos a an��lise de interpreta����es de estudantes em trabalhos desenvolvidos em duas disciplinas de cursos de Licenciatura em F��sica, nas quais realizamos atividades bastante distintas, uma envolvendo a leitura e outra a observa����o pelos licenciandos. Buscamos compreender falas escritas pelos estudantes como parte dessas atividades, e procuramos evidenciar a diversidade de interpreta����es e a relev��ncia desse trabalho para a formação inicial. O apoio te��rico em que nos sustentamos foi a an��lise de discurso na vertente originada na Fran��a por Michel P��cheux. A considera����o da n��o transpar��ncia da linguagem, e as no����es de condi����es de produ����o, mem��ria discursiva e repeti����o, bem como alguns aportes sobre poss��veis pap��is da observa����o na constru����o cient��fica, contribu��ram para a compreens��o de discursos escritos pelos estudantes. Mostramos a diversidade de interpreta����es dos licenciados: ao opinarem sobre a possibilidade ou n��o de se trabalhar a f��sica moderna e contempor��nea no ensino m��dio, depois de lerem um texto envolvendo esse tema, e ao redigirem um texto sobre a observa����o na pesquisa cient��fica.

Interdisciplinaridade: concep����es de professores da ��rea ci��ncias da natureza em formação em servi��o

O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar como os docentes da ��rea de Ci��ncias Naturais concebem o conceito de interdisciplinaridade e de que forma desenvolveriam um trabalho interdisciplinar a partir de um tema comum sugerido: o Efeito Estufa. Atrav��s de question��rios dissertativos, os professores-alunos participantes de um projeto de formação em servi��o (Pr��-Ci��ncias), expressaram suas concep����es iniciais a respeito do tema. A an��lise das respostas obtidas levou-nos ��s seguintes conclus��es: os professores entrevistados t��m apenas concep����es rudimentares de interdisciplinaridade e confundem este conceito com o de multidisciplinaridade. Afirmam que �� poss��vel trabalhar o conceito de Efeito Estufa de maneira interdisciplinar, mas n��o indicam metodologias adequadas para faz��-lo, devido �� car��ncia conceitual apontada anteriormente.

A ���formação do professor��� e seus sentidos em 23 Anos do Bolema: 1985-2007

We present results of research aiming to identify and analyze the meanings of teacher education in papers published over 23 years of Bolema, from 1985 to 2007. Specifically, we analyzed what the authors of the articles understood as teacher education and how they approached it in their projects, research, and interventions. We found that teacher education is characterized: by means of the definition of teacher education, its objectives and functions; from what is expected of the teacher at the end of the education process; from the disciplinary and/or pedagogical contents proposed in courses; from the practical activities proposed; through suggestions of courses and their curricular structures; from reflections on its limitations and possibilities.

O processo de constitui����o hist��rica das diretrizes curriculares na formação de professores de Educa����o F��sica

Os processos hist��ricos que permeiam as diretrizes curriculares possibilitaram enxergar quais s��o as id��ias e as preocupa����es para com a formação de professores no ��mbito da Educa����o F��sica. Dentro desse contexto, o objetivo foi averiguar, nas pol��ticas p��blicas de formação de professor dessa disciplina, como ocorreu o processo de qualifica����o e certifica����o, buscando entender as justificativas que orientaram a regulamenta����o dos normativos legais de 1939 a 2004. Portanto, trata-se de um estudo descritivo, de an��lise qualitativa, tendo como fonte prim��ria as Diretrizes Curriculares veiculada pela imprensa oficial. As novas Diretrizes Curriculares (Resolu����es CNE/CP 01/2002, 02/2002 e 7/2004) apontaram perspectivas na formação de um professor mais qualificado para o seu campo de atua����o, priorizando a quest��o da dimens��o pol��tica da profiss��o, das compet��ncias e do corpo de conhecimento da ��rea. Embora haja progressos em rela����o aos normativos anteriores, chama-se aten����o para a necessidade de que as propostas em constru����o fa��am a media����o entre a proposta atual, o percurso hist��rico do pr��prio curso e a rela����o teoria-pr��tica, visando o equil��brio na formação. A proposta das novas diretrizes n��o deixa de evidenciar avan��os significativos no horizonte da profissionalidade docente e da identidade profissional docente. da mesma forma, para o leitor ou estudioso atento, n��o deixa de causar preocupa����o o excesso de compet��ncias t��cnicas colocadas, passando-se a impress��o de que agora o que vale �� o primado do saber fazer.

Professores de Street Dance do Estado de S��o Paulo: formação e saberes

This research of qualitative nature, aimed to analyze the formation and knowledges of the teachers of Street Dance from the State of S��o Paulo. Reviewing the literarature it was approached the conceptions of culture, "Hip Hop Culture", and Street Dance. Also, some studies referred to the professional formation in dance and Physical Education; acting in dance by the teacher of Physical Education; and professional academic formation and/or experimental. The approaching method was the story of the time at present. The technique: interview semi-structured. According to the analysis of the statements: a) we noticed that no one of the interviewers show academic formation in dance; a small part is graduated in Physical Education, and the majority act as authorized teachers by the CREF and/ or DRT; b) we verified that the teaching of Street Dance is determined by experimental knowledges. The Street Dance shows itself as a process of constitution, and the formation and the knowledges to its teaching did not show systematization.

Limites do ensino de dan��a na formação do professor de Educa����o F��sica

The dance is one of the cultural content of body movement. But it is known, by means of literature and researches, that the training of teachers of Physical Education has submitted this content limits, damaging their future education in schools. This article discusses these limits and their possible solutions, ruled itself for both in literature and analysis on data collected in search of the Masters PEREIRA (2007). In this analysis it was felt that the dance is little in this Fitness because of graduate students have little experience inside and outside the school environment, because many parents, teachers and students have to dance with prejudice, and because do not feel prepared to deal with this content in schools. It appears that this may be due to the hegemony of sports in physical education, and some misunderstandings when you think the goals and content of dance in physical education.
