Formação do professor para trabalhar com recursos de tecnologia assistiva: um estudo de caso em Mato Grosso

Due to the process of educational inclusion, it is necessary for the teacher who works with disabled students to acknowledge and master the resources of assistive technology equipment available in Brazil. The objective was to identify the presence of these resources at school and evaluate, having the teacher as the evaluator, the conditions of dealing with the Assistive Technology resources and equipment. The sample consisted of 14 teachers who work in the Resources Multifunction Classroom and 18 regular classroom teachers who have disabled students enrolled in their classrooms. Data collection was performed through the TAE Questionnaire - Assistive Technology for Education. The data collection was performance in groups during the training course sponsored by the Education Department of Rondonópolis as part of the Program of Continuing Education Training for Managers and Educators - Inclusive Education: The Right to Diversity. The questionnaire data indicated differences between the two groups mentioned. The teachers of the Resource Classes indicated that Assistive Technology resources are now being introducing at schools and that over 50% of this group understand the resources presented on the questionnaire. Most of the regular classroom teachers is still unaware of the Assistive Technology resources and equipment. Regarding the dealing of these resources the group of teachers from the multifunctional classroom is better prepared to use this technology. The data suggest the need for investment in acquisition and training of teachers in relation to Assistive Technology resources.

O (des)conhecimento do professor sobre a avaliação e o plano de desenvolvimento da escola

This paper is part of an extension project titled “The implementation of the School Development Plan in public schools of São Paulo: contradictions and implications for the educational management practice”. The School Development Plan is a program supported by the Ministry of Education through the National Fund for Education Development. Since 2010, it has been directed to state and local public schools that have not reached the goals set by the Basic Education Development Index. This research has been conducted in four public schools of an inner city of São Paulo since April 2011, in which the School Development Plan is being implemented. The objective of this study is to analyze the teachers’ concepts of learning assessment and identify the instruments used for such assessment and when they are used. The research made use of a qualitative approach. The study is based on literature review and data collected through questionnaires completed by teachers. We consider the importance of teachers monitoring the whole teaching and learning process and not only the results. However, public policies stimulate final results; thus, the study points out that teachers perform a checking, not an assessment, since there is no decision making. It is crucial to join quantity and quality when performing an assessment that diagnoses and values students and their effective learning.

Cotidiano e filosofia no ensino médio: mediações

O presente artigo propõe reflexões acerca de possíveis relações a serem estabelecidas entre o cotidiano vivido por alunos e professores do Ensino Médio e o processo de filosofar a ser ensejado pela disciplina de Filosofia. Tem como pressuposto que alunos e professores, imersos que estão na vida cotidiana, tanto poderão sentir-se provocados a discutir questões importantes postas pelos âmbitos do cotidiano e da Filosofia, quanto poderão permanecer indiferentes a elas. A questão central remete à possibilidade de instigar um diálogo filosófico significativo, por meio do ensino de Filosofia. Elucidados prioritariamente pelo campo filosófico (Heller e Gramsci), os âmbitos do cotidiano e da Filosofia sugerem discussões filosóficas relevantes: concepções de vida cotidiana, de Filosofia e de suas possibilidades de inter-relação. A aproximação entre a vida cotidiana e a Filosofia coloca não somente um problema filosófico, mas também um problema pedagógico. qual o papel da escola, do professor e da própria Filosofia, no processo ensino e aprendizagem? Tem-se como hipótese que, para se utilizar o cotidiano como ponto de partida da reflexão filosófica, é indispensável compreender o significado filosófico de cotidiano e de não-cotidiano e o papel do professor como agente mediador entre esses âmbitos.

Os artigos de jornal no ensino superior: utilizando um recurso didático não-convencional no ensino do Direito

Trata-se de artigo decorrente de nossas práticas pedagógicas no ensino superior, particularmente no ensino de Direito Constitucional mediante a utilização de artigos de jornais. Essa idéia surgiu com a finalidade de despertar o aluno para a leitura de periódicos específicos da área, e de diminuir a distância no campo do conhecimento entre a eficácia jurídica e a eficácia social. Como é sabido, o ensino do Direito ainda contempla o padrão didático das aulas lidas, o recurso da subsunção e da simples repetição doutrinária, muitas vezes, lamentavelmente, alicerçadas em apostilas ou resumos que conduzem o aprendizado à mera reprodução de doutrina. Centralmente quanto ao ensino de Direito Constitucional, ao mesmo tempo em que pressupõe um íntimo relacionamento com os outros ramos do Direito, guarda enorme distância quando se trata da transmissão de seu conteúdo. O trabalho ora comunicado é resultante de um projeto desenvolvido mediante duas etapas: na primeira a busca é pela compreensão das normas e dos princípios existentes no corpo da Constituição e na posterior objetiva-se a tradução de tais normas e princípios no contexto social, com base nas discussões em artigos de jornal. Essas discussões são desenvolvidas, ainda que superficialmente, por meio da análise dos aspectos constitutivos da configuração textual dos artigos. O que se tem como resultados é a observação de que, mediante o recurso didático de artigos de jornais, o estabelecimento de uma discussão das normas e princípios constitucionais tem tornado a relação ensino-aprendizagem no curso de Direito mais interessante aos alunos e professor.
