Ilustração e interpretação textual: a arte como estratégia de ensino-aprendizagem na área de linguagens e códigos

Investiguei a arte como estratégia de ensino/aprendizagem e como esta prática estabelece quebra de paradigmas e incentivo à autonomia discente. Para tanto fiz uma breve descrição histórica acerca do panorama teórico correlacionado com o percurso das inovações educacionais desde o final da Idade Média até a contemporaneidade, buscando identificar de que forma o acúmulo teórico-metodológico gerado por este itinerário influenciou na disciplina Arte/Educação e no seu potencial inovador. Observei ainda como a ilustração textual, produzida pelos educandos, funciona como veículo de reelaboração crítica de suas realidades mediata e imediata. Esta investigação teve como sujeitos alunos do nono ano do Ensino Fundamental II, no decorrer de 2011, na escola autogestionária Waldorf Micael, em Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. Ao longo das observações, procurei responder às seguintes questões: De que maneira a ilustração textual se configura na qualidade de mediadora de processos interpretativos no contexto de ensino/aprendizagem em arte e literatura? De que forma, ela, no contexto da sistemática pedagógica, se revela como ferramenta de inovação pedagógica? Qual a sua importância no desenvolvimento do senso crítico do educando, e como tal fato se configura inovador? Como interfere na apreensão da realidade do educando, no seu aspecto estético, político e social? Os dados da investigação foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas, análise documental e observação participante; dessa forma esta pesquisa configurou-se como qualitativa, do tipo etnográfica e de base hermenêutica.

Objetos concretos: prática de inovação pedagógica na aprendizagem matemática?

Este estudo tem a intenção de descrever, entender e explicar processo deaprendizagem de uma turma de 4º Ano do Ensino Fundamental I, com proposta de utilizar objetos concretos na aprendizagem matemática, no qual procurou desvendar à luz da concepção de inovação de que maneira esses objetos constituem uma instigação à Inovação pedagógica. Mediante aos padrões culturais da turma pretende-se conhecer e verificar o impacto desta proposta, no cotidiano dos alunos, por meiodos saberes de cada um envolvidos. Uma vez que, é visível a complexidade e a desmotivação que o aluno do ensino fundamental I apresenta com a Matemática. A necessidade de tornar a aula mais interessante e motivadora é uma inquietação constante do professor, no qual a dissertação investiga a importância dos objetos concretos, sua funcionalidade e aplicabilidade, de modo que possa facilitar a aprendizagem, bem como, proporcionar subsídios para que o aluno desenvolva estratégias significativas e inovadoras, melhorando assim, a qualidade do aprendizado matemático e seja capaz de criar situações que promovam a curiosidade, a instigação e a busca de resoluções, possibilitando no seu cotidiano empregar o conhecimento científico. O estudo tem como alusão a construção do pensamento crítico dos alunos a partir das concepções trabalhadas na sala de aula. Nessa acepção, a presente investigação insere-se numa abordagem qualitativa, de caráter etnográfico. Desenvolve-se por intermédio da investigadora com a turma, com vista à descrição da realidade estudada, seus padrões culturais e significativos, visando a compreensão do ambiente analisado. Através dos recursos como a observação participante, a entrevista e os documentos foi possível o recolhimento de dados durante a estadia no contexto do estudo. As conclusões desta investigação apontam de certa forma para a interatividade e a compreensão de certos conceitos matemáticos, mas não induz a autonomia dos alunos, o seu projeto de vida, ou seja, não perfigura um desafio à Inovação Pedagógica.

A sala de aula em cena: uma pesquisa em ensino do teatro a partir da experiência docente

At first moment we present a reflection about the history of theater and later a contextualization of didactic movements oriented to scenic arts. Through at the constant dialogue with authors of areas involving education, theatre, corporeality and music was possible analyzing, develop and criticize a education work under my responsibility involving fourteen classes. At the second moment will occur a critical self about the quality of theater classes his contents and methodologies. The technique will be at side of the emotion and together develop skills aimed at tracing paths for theater developed at a classroom of a especific private school in Natal-RN. At the third moment one class is chosen for analyze of the academic research and many experiments happen after this decision, initiated and sensitized through of the music with a significant look at the corporeality and prioritizing the theater as content in ninth grade - elementary school two. At the conclusion is possible see that learning is mutual and the theater can become life routine as well as the arts in general and when all arts will be regularized into the national educational system for public and private schools we will have more susceptible humans and more intellectual capacity

Habitus, representações sociais e construção identitária dos professores de Maracanaú

In the last three decades, the subject of the teacher's social identity has been discussed under various theoretical focuses, not only in Brazil, but also beyond our borders. In this thesis, the theme is approached starting from the theoretical proposal that has been developed by Domingos Sobrinho (1994), which is strongly based in the epistemological approach between Pierre Bourdieu’s praxiology and the Theory of the Social Representations formulated by Serge Moscovici. It presupposes that this would make it easier to apprehend the process of construction of social identity of the investigated social group. The universe of the research is constituted by teachers of the fundamental teaching of the municipal district of Maracanaú, state of Ceará, that were active in class-room work there during at least three years, and were registered or had concluded the Course of Educational Formation promoted by UECE in that municipal district. Taking into account that the teacher's social identity is a process in permanent construction, resulting of their daily experiences and of the interferences originated from of the social context, the investigative tasks were implemented in two different stages, although they complement each other. Initially, with the objective of putting in evidence the genesis of the formation of that group’s habitus, an analysis of the family and school lives of eleven teachers who participated in the course was made, using as main sources of data: thematic memorials, semi-structured interviews and observations - inside and out of the class-room – during four school semesters. In the second stage a test of free association of words was applied to 426 teachers, seeking to apprehend the structure of the social representations of family and school – a methodological strategy considered necessary to enhance and identify certain outlines of the habitus in study, besides being in agreement with the theoretical model followed. It became evident from the results that the identity of Maracanaú’s teachers is molded and transformed into a multifaceted dynamic unit that shows successes and mistakes, certainties and doubts. For instance, besides an innovative speech seeking to reassure that teaching is a profession and not a simple vocation or mission, some discourse and attitudes are identified that point to the opposite direction, extolling the school as extension of the family, defending a parental relationship with the students, and looking at certain aspects of daily school life as “sacramental”. However, in the light of science such ambiguities and incoherences are inherent to common sense discourse, where the influences of the patterns and cultural references are present in the process of identity construction of the group, which was confirmed by the research of their social representations of family and school

Alfabetizar crianças na escola pública: fazeres docentes em discussão

The most recent data of the Brazilian Test (BRAZIL, 2005) and of the SAEB (BRAZIL, 2007) have reaffirmed the serious situation of the Brazilian public school, where great part of the students, after to conclude 4º year of basic education, does not present minimum knowledge of reading and writing. In this picture, the situation of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, whose students had presented, in the last evaluation is particularly difficult, the worse performances of the country, in this area. The data also discloses that the failure pertaining to school, closely tied with the failure in the literacy, not only remains, as takes other aspects. In consequence of this picture, the literacy, even so widely argued in the last few decades, still instigates inquiries, as it is the case of this work. Our study got shaped due to reflections, as much to the theorizations to which we had access, as of the emergent questions of ours pedagogical practice. Through the past three decades, the studies in the area of literacy with the purpose to understand the constituent nature of the process, its aspects and its determinative ones has been intensified. The produced knowledge has contributed for the overcoming of the reductionist form as if it thought/thinks, in some contexts - this process. Such statements impel them to reflect concerning what is happening in the school, limiting or making possible the pertaining to school success. With these concerns, we delimit, as focus of study, the teaching action, having the following stunning question: What to make professors, in the context of the public school, to propitiate or hinder the process of literacy of the children? In this direction, our object of study is to make them professors who can propitiate or hinder the process of literacy of the children, in the context of the public school. The objective work to investigate, from practical of professors the teachers, that to make professors related to the literacy process - they can propitiate or hinder the learning of the written language, for the pupils of the public school, at the beginning of the school process. The work if inscribes in the qualitative boarding of research and if it configures as a case study, with characteristics of Research-Action, inspired by the following principles: authenticity and commitment and systematic restitution. For the retraction of the data, they had been used: half-structuralized interview; participant comment; meeting of studies and reflection; register in daily of field. We define as locus of study, a school of public net and, more specifically, a group of the initial years of school process that integrates the cycle of literacy . Of the five invited teachers, only one demonstrated interest in participating of the work. Its group of first year of the First Cycle of basic education is composed for 34 children, with ages between six the nine years. The data constructed by means of the described procedures, as well as its analysis, make possible to identify, between the many aspects and to make that they compose the pedagogical dynamics in the context of classroom, the following categories to make articulated with the literacy process: 1. To make of practical the relative ones to the planning, understood as To make relative: 1,1 distribution of the time-space/routine; 1.2 to the didactic activities and/or sequences and teaching interventions; 1.3 to the organization/election of the contents; 1.4 to the materials/didactic resources and 1.5 to the evaluation. 2. To make relative to the interaction professor-pupil, systemize in: 2.1 attention to the diversity; 2.2 to the affectivity. These to make, in the form as if materialized in the practical one observed, had been reflected, jointly with the teacher, as constituting parts of obstacles to a perspective of literacy. By means of the sharing of the reflections, anchored in theoretical conceptions concerning the practical one of teach-learning and, more specifically, of literacy, we register indications of new meanings of these to make on the part of the teacher in conducting them as providers of learning of its pupils, first purpose of its teaching performance. This finishing, possible synthesis at this moment is, therefore, point of fond and departure for new studies

Avaliação da aprendizagem no no contexto dos ciclos: sentidos da prática avaliativa docente

The present paper analyses matters about the assessment in the context of the school organization in cycles. The complexity that involves the assessment turns it into a difficult subject, since the evidence that the model supported by the traditional approach contributes to foil the fulfillment of new continuous and wide-ranging assessment practices, that are coherent with a view of learning as a process established in the student-teacher-knowledge interaction. This paper has as guidance the following questions: How did the introduction of the teaching organization in cycles happen in Fortaleza/ CE? How far are the teachers prepared to the introduction of the cycles system, specially in the way of thinking and practicing the assessment? What are the teacher s involvements with this project and with the continuous assessment in the cycles? What meanings do the teachers give to the assessment in this project? Therefore, were determined as objectives: to comprehend the meanings attributed to the learning assessment by the teachers in contact with the cycles in Fortaleza/CE; to identify assessment practices that are closer to a less qualifying perspective, more related to the students learning and to the educational intervention in order to improve this process. The methodological orientation chosen was based on the presuppositions of the comprehensible interview, with reference to the studies of the French sociologist Jean Claude Kaufmann, developed with 15 (fifteen) teachers of 15 (fifteen) schools of the state teaching system of Fortaleza/CE. It was considered, in the methodology, the word as a central fact in the consolidation of the object of study, what allows to conceive the teachers as active participants of this research and of the discussions about assessment. The analysis about the speeches in the interviews made possible to glimpse the meanings attributed to the learning assessment that are not related to the traditional paragon, in spite of the dilemma in which the participants of the research faced at the time of the introduction of the cycles in Fortaleza/CE. These meanings were created between the presence and the absence of the teachers knowledge that, in their way, interact with the changes caused by the obligation of the teaching organization in cycles, seeking a strategy of self-organization as a consequence of the search for new knowledge connected with the teaching

A inclusão do aluno com deficiência mental no ensino médio: um estudo de caso

La défense d une école inclusive dans les forums internationaux du monde entier a stimulé l adoption de politiques éducationnelles d inclusion et la pratique d inclusion dans les écoles, de sorte à ce que la scolarisation des élèves aux besoins éducatifs spéciaux dans les classes comunes est devenue une réalité dans la majorité des systèmes d éducation. Et pourtant, l inclusion scolaire, au Brésil, avance à pas lents et pose d innombrables questions, notamment quand il s agit de l inclusion des personnes qui présentent une déficience mentale dans les niveaux d enseignement plus avancés. Basé sur ce fait, et tout en considérant que les études et recherches sur ce thème, au Brésil, sont centrées majoritairement sur l éducation enfantine et les séries initiales de l enseignement fondamental, cette étude se propose d analyser l inclusion d une élève ayant une déficience mentale, inscrite dans l Enseignement Moyen, dans une école appartenant au réseau d enseignement de l Etat, dans la ville de Natal RN. Pour répondre aux questions proposées dans cette étude nous avons fait appel aux méthodologies qualitatives, du genre Etude de Cas, et au cours de sa réalisation avons utilisé l interview demi-structurée et l observation libre dans l ambiance naturelle de l école. Ont participé de l étude, en plus de l élève qui présentait une déficience mentale, sa mère et deux segments de l école, desquels ont fait partie trois professionnels de l équipe administrative pédagogique et quatre enseignants. L analyse des données a mis en relief la résistence de l école à répondre au projet pédagogique d éducation inclusive, aspect qui a un rapport très étroit avec les spécificités de l Enseignement Moyen, la structure traditionnelle d un enseignement basé sur l idée d une classe homogène, et le bas niveau d attentes des éducateurs concernant les possibilités d apprentissage et de développement de l élève handicapée mentale. De surcroît, le manque de directives pour conduire les adaptations pédagogiques et du curriculum à l école ont rendu fragile l action des enseignants, dont le résultat est une pratique d intégration rudement malmenée. Au travers des points de refléxions suscités par cette étude, nous considérons que l inclusion des élèves qui présentent une déficience mentale doit être centrée sur une pratique pédagogique qui repousse l idée de soumettre tous les élèves à des procédures universelles cristalisées sur des pratiques imposées par les contraintes d homogénéisation, et qui, contrairement, puisse trouver à l école des conditions favorables au développement de chacun, au travers des processus d apprentissages formés par des instances de médiation et d interaction sociales

O processo avaliativo institucional de desempenho do sistema público municipal de Teresina-PI (2001 a 2005): entre a lógica da excelência e a lógica da aprendizagem

This work focalize the institutional and educational evaluation, aiming to investigate the Municipal System Institutional Evaluation Performance of Teresina City Piauí (2001-2005), and to reflect about Institutional System Performance and its contribution to compose a new learning evaluation practice. In this sense, classifies elements about the evaluation practice in two Elementary Education municipal public schools, involving Education Municipal Bureau technicians as managers, pedagogues, teachers and students. Based on the ethnographic studies principles in the educational area, the work employs investigative procedures like document analysis, interviews with groups and individuals and also participator s comments. Intending to comprehend the complexity produced by the institutional and education evaluation processes, the wok reveals the Institutional Evaluation legal and educational political basis and the several positions assumed by the Learning Evaluation, as a classification tool or as a learning enhancement. This work points, as results, to a evaluation culture bipolarity carried out by the Municipal Education System as a explicit control and regulation toll, related to the classification and learning in a interaction process that operates both in the pressure and the reflection, as a culture practice established between excellence of logic and learning. The evaluation history has been construct on the evaluation actions dialectics, joint simultaneously between the Institutional Evaluation Performance and the learning evaluation. The senses, meanings and actions bipolarity is a interaction process product sustained between the institutional evaluation, under the scholar ranking application, and the learning evaluation. In this relativity, the teacher evaluation practice is found, ruled by interesting, thoughts and actions on the school evaluation, allowing a higher security and support to the learning results. Grounded in the researched reality, its possible to say that the teacher s evaluation practice is diversified, with different characteristics, when it is done in the learning search and in the learning intention. In the first case, reflects, rearranges and constructs new actions that lead the student to produce learning. In the second, shows the will, the wish of learning, but is a weak action, producing a not really significant learning and development; as a result, remains the mark approach as a determinant in the student future. The work s hope is to contribute not just to rethink these two evaluations dimensions the institutional and the learning ones but also to organize the school and to improve the pedagogic process

Corporeidade e humanescência na fonte dos saberes da vida: a formação de professores que valoriza o ser

The present study comes from inquietudes of an investigative posture assumed by a Physical Education Graduation Professor, before her educative action with undergraduate teachers. The research was done with 16 (sixteen) Kindergarten and Elementary School teachers, who teach at public schools. The referred teachers are undergraduate students of the Graduating Normal Course at Superior Educational Institute President Kennedy, in Natal/RN. The analysis and discussion of the intertwining of knowledge, within the four Pillars of Education, at the Fountain of Knowledge , is a metaphor, especially created for this study, as for its epistemological and methodological structure, guiding all the investigative process. It provided to show up the repercussion of bathing and drinking these humanizing waters of a pedagogical practice that values the Being, aiming his self-transcendence. The conclusions obtained were the following: 1) The professor, while bathing himself in the Fountain of Life Knowledge, reflects his personal and professional life, recalling feelings and emotions that through time were forgotten, but as they were remembered and lived again, impulse people towards humanity. 2) While bathing himself at the Fountain of Life Knowledge, the professor realizes he is awoken to humane knowledge, caring about his practices, which he develops in the classroom. Practices he considers the learning of knowing, of doing, of living together, and of learning how to be, having and integrated form on the Being. 3) When the worries about the developing of the Being exist coming from the undergraduate teacher there is a practice the shows up the web of corporeity knowledge knowing how to play, how to create, how to feel, how to think, and how to humanize. 4) The presence of the professional of Physical Education, with knowledge and experience of the budgets of corporeity, is essential in the process of graduating the Kindergarten and first years of Elementary School undergraduate teacher, for he, the former, has a huge responsibility as to the learning and developing of the educational process the humanizing developing of the Being In a proposal of education that occurs through the whole life. 5) The Professional of Physical Education has positions to conquer, for the existent gap in the educational process, as for the understanding of the body and of corporeity in the perspective of totality, urges to be modified in name of another mankind, with full humanity

Representação social do ensinar: a dimensão pedagógica do habitus professoral

Teaching is an activity inherent to the human condition. Historically, from the institutionalization of education, the key role to pursue that activity has been attributed to the teacher, who is required to adapt to the demands of each historical conjuncture. Currently, according to the new paradigmatic requirements, the teacher must possess various skills in order to handle the complex and challenging act of teaching. Assuming the existence of a gap between what the State and the scientific discourse recommend the teacher act upon in the classroom, a decision was made to identify the configuration and structure of social representation in the act of teaching, put forth by elementary school teachers in the public schools of Natal, RN, Brazil. Therefore, the research relied on the theoretical model developed by Domingos Sobrinho (1998, 2000, 2003), which articulates the praxeology of Pierre Bourdieu with the theory of social representations of Serge Moscovici (1978). It was intended to demonstrate how teachers habitus, in its due historical context, directs the construction of social representations in the act of teaching which guides the actions of the teacher, particularly in the classroom context. At the methodological level, the following methods and techniques were used: bibliographic and documentary review in order to identify the scientific discourse on the subject matter and the official parameters of educational regulation and the act of teaching; the Procedure of Multiple Classifications PMC in order to capture the configuration and structure of the representational content in focus, the direct observation of the classroom to identify in actual terms the social representation as "guide to action" as the theory preaches. From the standpoint of the analysis, quantitative data were analysed through Multidimensional Scaling MDS, covering in this study the Multidimensional Scale Analysis MSA and Smallest Space Analysis SSA; and non-parametric statiscal techniques. Additional data of qualitative value had to undergo categorical content analysis. It was then concluded that the teachers investigated guided themselves by social representation, the product of collectively constructed and shared assumptions about the act of teaching, forming a synthesis of different sources of information and knowledge acquirement, involving elements of common sense, religious habitus, pedagogic models considered outdated, the agencies responsible for teacher training and the hegemonic discourse about education today
