Processos de imitação-criação como constituidores da práxis pedagógica: uma intervenção didático-formativa com o formador de professores

The research deals with the constitution of the pedagogical praxis of a teacher trainer, understood as objectification of theoretical and practical unity in the teaching field. It was achieved by means of a didactic-training intervention. The research problem: as a teacher trainer in a continuous training process is a pedagogical praxis, outlined to the overall objective: investigate the establishment of the pedagogical praxis of teacher trainer in a continuous formation process. The specific objectives were: 1) outline principles and foundations theoretical-methodological course of intervention research on appropriate teaching assumptions of historical-cultural theory; 2) systematic principles of constitution of the pedagogical praxis of a teacher trainer and 3) synthesize foundations of continued training of teacher trainers in view of the historical-cultural theory, to collaborate with design of institutional policies for continuing training of university teachers. The research was developed at the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro University - UFTM, with teachers who work in their degree courses. It was developed in three stages: diagnosis, didactic-formative intervention and analysis of data. In the diagnostic step attended five teacher educators of degrees in: history, geography, physics, chemistry and letters. At this stage were used identification questionnaires, interviews, classroom observation and document analysis. In the next stage, with participation of a trainer, it was held educational-training intervention understood as the collective research-training process that is involved intervening in teaching with the development of interdependent and simultaneous actions trainings, planning and implementation of educational activities and study, classroom observation and evaluation from the perspective of dialectical unity in order to contribute to the integral development of teachers and students. The intervention were also held interviews and document analysis. The last stage of the research was the analysis of the data. In the diagnosis of education, among other analyzes, three references were found of the trainer's training-action: memorized references, empirical and praxis. It was the analysis of the references of the trainer's training-action that guided referrals ways of teaching-training intervention. As a result, it was concluded that the teacher educator is their pedagogical praxis in the dialectical units theoretical and practical appropriation of concepts and imitation-creation. Were the two principles analyzed in the research. It was also systematized some essential elements of the formation of the teacher educator: the needs of trainers are decisive in the choice of concepts that will be appropriate; the organization of the training process should take place hand in hand with planning and development classes; the theory need to be experienced in training so that appropriation/objectification of education come true, and also, participants must be strengthened as a collective studies, since we have not learned by linearity but connections. It is hoped that the research will create opportunities to deepen the debate on the continuing education of teacher educators and contribute to scientific production in the area.

Docência Universitária: o professor agrônomo na construção de sua professoralidade

The aim of this study was to understand how does the teaching learning process of the agronomy professor from Universidade Federal de Uberlândia occurs, analyzing the relationship among training, knowledge and these professors professional identity. The questions which guided the research were: How does the professional identity of these professors are developed in the teaching learning process? Which are the main formation factors that influences this process? Which are the agronomy professors knowledge and how were them built and learned by these professionals in college? This is a research with a qualitative approach, in which most of the data was collected with the professors, through two questionnaires, a simplified and an in-depth one, as well as documents that depict the history of the institute and of the Agronomy department. To guide analysis, we have used, more than the scientific production in the area, the authors Cunha (2008), Tardif (2002), Pimenta (2005), Melo (2009, 2012), Malusá (2005), Pachane (2009), Magalhães (2012), Dubar (2005), Imbernón (2002),Nunez andRamalho (2008), Almeida andPimenta (2012) PimentaandAnastasiou (2002), Cavallet (1999) Pachane (2006), Behrens (2007) Isaia (2008), Malusá (2012) and Nóvoa (1999). The analysis indicated that the teaching learning process of the agronomy professor occurs since college, with the option of been a professor, and throughout their teaching career. Their challenges are related to work conditions, although, the dilemmas between the practices related to the conceptions of traditional and progressive pedagogy can be seen in their class, teaching and teaching learning process conception. Classes are considered by professors as an interaction place but also as a knowledge transference place. This research identifies the necessity of promote cooperation between teachers, so that, the collective and integrated work in formative spaces teachers will have the opportunity to develop the knowledge necessary for teaching. The implementation of institutional initial and continuous formation, through direct dialogue between undergraduate, graduate and training and professional development programs for teachers, with better work conditions will reflect in the constant improvement of training development within universities.

Uma proposta de ensino de frações no 6º ano do ensino fundamental a partir da teoria histórico-cultural

This text presents developed in the Graduate Program in Science and Mathematics Education at the Federal University of Uberlândia, in which it was intended to answer the question: What are the pedagogical implications for the fractions concept learning for students of the 6th grade of elementary school that the teaching guide activities can provide? The objectives of this research were: a) analyze the possible pedagogical implications for the learning of the fraction's concept for students of the 6th grade of elementary school through guiding teaching activities; b) using the conceptual connections of the fraction to enable students to develop an abstract thought and c) investigate whether guiding teaching activities reflect on 'how to think' and 'how to do' of the student. Five teaching activities have been developed (MOURA, 2002) from the perspective of teaching guiding activity (TGA) and had as object of study the teaching of fractions for students in 6th year of elementary school. They have been prepared and proposed activities in which it was intended to investigate the use of history of mathematics as an aid in learning the conceptual fraction links (CARAÇA, 1951) by students. Such activities, for analysis, were organized into episodes and scenes (MOURA, 2004) and discussed how students deal with the measurement of whole quantity (all) and subunits (part); how they represent in verbal or written language. It is hoped that the research is set up as an important contribution to mathematics teaching area and may contribute to the initial and continuing training of mathematics teacher sand the formation of theoretical thinking of elementary school students.

Formar professores em e para abordagens integradoras de contextos de educação formal e não formal de ciências

Tendo em conta que as orientações internacionais para a educação em ciências recomendam complementar o currículo de ciências com aprendizagens em contextos não formais. O estudo que aqui se relata consistiu na concepção, implementação e avaliação de um programa de formação continuada para professores do 1ºCEB sobre atividades integradas de educação em ciências (AIEC), a desenvolver em ambientes de educação formal e não formal. Após a implementação dessas AIEC, os professores manifestaram elevada satisfação com o empenho e motivação dos seus alunos e sentem-se muito mais motivados e seguros na exploração de temáticas de ciências em sala de aula.

O desenvolvimento profissional docente em discussão

This collection is the result of theoretical considerations made in the education field with emphasis on the teacher’s professional development. The diversity of authors, which came from distinctive higher education institutions located in Brazil and some arising from international context, reveals a multiplicity of relations between the themes that blend the centrality of “Rede de Aprendizado em Foco”. The studies and researches are organized around three themes: teacher’s learning in initial training and professional integration; teacher learning’s evaluations process and policies; and teacher’s professional development. The professionality’s formation in a period of deep and complex transformations in the social and educational scenarios is projected as a big challenge, especially when it is understood that a person is not born as a teacher, but it is constituted as such by processes that occur over a long period. The contact with the professional practice stands as an essential element in the context of teacher training, which in the course of professional learning experience different stages of training. The one that should be highlighted would be the learning moments that involve teaching’s practices. Thus, the main point of this work was based on the reflection of the teacher’s formative processes from the initial training to the professional development going through the teaching practice, which is considered as the beginning of the relationship between theoretical and practical knowledge in the context of educational reality and reporting formative experiences that have contributed to this training.

A feminização na educação básica: Os docentes do género masculino na educação de crianças

O presente estudo tem por tema as representações de docentes do género masculino que exercem a sua actividade na educação pré-escolar ou no 1º ciclo do ensino básico acerca da sua carreira profissional, num contexto educativo e institucional histórica e socialmente feminizado. A grande finalidade do estudo era abordar e dar a conhecer o serviço desses profissionais, na sequência dos seus contactos com colegas, pais e crianças, e indagar se na perspectiva dos inquiridos, o fenómeno da feminização dos níveis de educação em que laboram pode ser avaliado como um problema ou disfunção social, ou como resultado das políticas educativas praticadas no nosso País, a longo e curto prazo. Como objectivos específicos a que se procurou dar resposta estiveram, nomeadamente, a indagação das razões que poderão ter levado estes docentes a ingressar nas carreiras profissionais em causa, o grau de aceitação que experienciaram nas suas instituições de formação inicial, no mercado de trabalho e nas comunidades em que desenvolvem a sua actividade profissional. Os dados através dos quais se procurou dar consecução a tais objectivos foram recolhidos com base na realização de entrevistas semi-estruturadas a doze docentes da educação básica, sendo seis educadores e seis professores. A análise dos testemunhos dos inquiridos pareceu indicar, por um lado, que os mesmos terão beneficiado, no geral, de um enquadramento profissional não discriminatório e de uma boa aceitação por parte dos colegas, dos pais e das crianças, e, por outro, que, no seu entender, o estado de feminização deste sector educativo é uma consequência natural do contexto político, cultural e social que o País tem vindo a atravessar nas últimas décadas. ABSTRACT; This study is subject to the representations of male teachers who pursue their activities in pre-school education or the 1st cycle of basic education about their career, educational and institutional context in a historical and socially feminized. The major purpose of the study was addressing and raising awareness of the service of these professionals, as a result of their contacts with colleagues, parents and children, and whether, in view of respondents, the phenomenon of feminization of the levels of education may be operating in assessed as a problem or social dysfunction, or as a result of educational policies practiced in our country, the long and short term. As specific objectives to be sought to answer were, in particular the question of the reasons that may have led these teachers to enter the career in question, the degree of acceptance that experienced in their initial training, labour market and communities in which they conduct their business. The data through which we tried to achieve such objectives have been collected based on the performance of semi-structured to twelve basic education teachers, six educators and six teachers. The analysis of the testimonies of the respondents seem to indicate, first, that they have benefited, in general, a non-discriminatory business environment and a good acceptance by colleagues, parents and children, and secondly, that in their view, the state of feminization of education is a natural consequence of the political, cultural and social that the country has been experiencing in recent decades.
