¿Es cierto que los estudiantes no participan?

Los estudios de Pedagogía de la Universitat de Girona impulsan un proceso de participación democrática en el que profesorado y alumnado diagnostican de forma conjunta las disfunciones y los problemas detectados a lo largo del curso. Se dice que los estudiantes de la universidad no participan. Algunos lo atribuyen a la manera de ser de los jóvenes en la actualidad, otros lo explican por los valores propios de la sociedad posmoderna y por el desgaste progresivo de una forma de entender y de practicar la democracia. Otras causas de la falta de participación de los estudiantes son la naturaleza de los órganos de participación más institucionalizados como el claustro, las juntas de facultad, los consejos de estudio o las reuniones de delegados; el escaso interés mostrado por los responsables de la gestión académica en preocuparse por las inquietudes de los alumnos o la falta de democracia y participación con la que muchos alumnos llegan a la universidad. Para paliar esto, se reforma la composición del Consejo de Estudios de Pedagogía (CEP); se crea el Consejo de Estudiantes de los Estudios de Pedagogía (CAEP) del cual deriva el plenario y se organiza una reunión de toda la comunidad educativa para hacer un balance general del curso; se crea un Comité Orientador de la Política de los Estudios de Pedagogía (COOPEP). Además, se establece un plan de evaluación integral y transparente; los alumnos participan en ruedas de prensa, sesiones informativas de principio y fin de curso, y en la Tarde Pedagógica, destinada a orientar el futuro profesional de los pedagogos que van a terminar la carrera; y se crean la asociación de estudiantes Paideia y la Revista de Pedagogía como canales de comunicación.

Virtualidades educativas de la Retórica y Poética aristotélicas.

Recuperar de los textos aristotélicos un concepto comprensivo de educación, de hombre, de hábito, de retórica y poética, con vistas a establecer las bases para una enseñanza educativa, entendida como 'paideia' y no como simple transmisión de conocimientos. La concepción de que el núcleo de toda cultura es ético y estético y de que la formación necesita otros elementos además de los intelectuales-lógicos, constituyen los presupuestos para presentar una interpretación unitaria de los textos aristotélicos contrastada con aportaciones y comentarios de otros autores. A lo largo de cuatro capítulos independientes, aunque paralelos y relacionados entre sí, se analizan los conceptos de Retórica y Poética y su relación con la educación y la cultura, así como la virtualidad educativa de la Tragedia, en cuanto al argumento considerado como 'imitación a la acción', a través de los aspectos lógicos y emocionales de la trama. Para tratar vitalmente lo complejo y contingente, lo azaroso y el aparente desorden, se propone, en vez de la razón teórica y el pensamiento logicista, la razón práctica y el pensamiento analógico que posibilita configuraciones globales, rehabilitando, por tanto, la virtualidad de la Ética, la Retórica y la Poética como fundamento de la tarea educativa.

Filosofía de la educación en Aristóteles.

La educación en Aristóteles desde la perspectiva de la Filosofía de la Educación. El investigador se sitúa en el ámbito de la reflexión filosófica sobre el hecho educativo y sus dimensiones : perfectibilidad del hombre, concepción subyacente del mundo y de la vida, valores, etc. Antropología aristotélica. El estudio consta de tres partes: la situación sociopolítica de la época en la que vivió Aristóteles, la Antropología aristotélica (Psicología, el saber humano, el obrar humano, el concepto de arte, la justicia , la amistad, la felicidad). En la última parte se desarrollar la concepción de la Paideia: la concepción del ciudadano y del no ciudadano, el proceso educativo y sus etapas. Interpretación filosófica cuyo centro es la Antropología aristotélica y sus gravitaciones, los valores y la educación. Hacer presente la dimensión pedagógica de la obra aristotélica y su actualidad. La distinción entre Tékcne y Phrónesis que hace Aristóteles clarifica los motivos y actitudes subyacentes que informan las dos corrientes principales de la interpretación contempor nea de la educación: el currículum y la enseñanza. La Phrónesis aristotélica fundamenta la nueva orientación que no ve la educación como algo esencialmente técnico ni eminentemente práctico, sino como algo que guarda una estrecha relación con la disposición para actuar de manera correcta, prudente y ajustada a las circunstancias. Este trabajo contribuye a revitalizar un pensamiento que, en ningún momento, se ha manifestado agotado. Hoy es Aristóteles un autor que obliga a pensar iluminando la problemática educativa actual.

Truth in complex adaptive systems models should be based on truth by constructive verification

It is argued that the truth status of emergent properties of complex adaptive systems models should be based on an epistemology of proof by constructive verification and therefore on the ontological axioms of a non-realist logical system such as constructivism or intuitionism. ‘Emergent’ properties of complex adaptive systems (CAS) models create particular epistemological and ontological challenges. These challenges bear directly on current debates in the philosophy of mathematics and in theoretical computer science. CAS research, with its emphasis on computer simulation, is heavily reliant on models which explore the entailments of Formal Axiomatic Systems (FAS). The incompleteness results of Gödel, the incomputability results of Turing, and the Algorithmic Information Theory results of Chaitin, undermine a realist (platonic) truth model of emergent properties. These same findings support the hegemony of epistemology over ontology and point to alternative truth models such as intuitionism, constructivism and quasi-empiricism.

File Transfer Protocol

The discourse surrounding the virtual has moved away from the utopian thinking accompanying the rise of the Internet in the 1990s. The Cyber-gurus of the last decades promised a technotopia removed from materiality and the confines of the flesh and the built environment, a liberation from old institutions and power structures. But since then, the virtual has grown into a distinct yet related sphere of cultural and political production that both parallels and occasionally flows over into the old world of material objects. The strict dichotomy of matter and digital purity has been replaced more recently with a more complex model where both the world of stuff and the world of knowledge support, resist and at the same time contain each other. Online social networks amplify and extend existing ones; other cultural interfaces like youtube have not replaced the communal experience of watching moving images in a semi-public space (the cinema) or the semi-private space (the family living room). Rather the experience of viewing is very much about sharing and communicating, offering interpretations and comments. Many of the web’s strongest entities (Amazon, eBay, Gumtree etc.) sit exactly at this juncture of applying tools taken from the knowledge management industry to organize the chaos of the material world along (post-)Fordist rationality. Since the early 1990s there have been many artistic and curatorial attempts to use the Internet as a platform of producing and exhibiting art, but a lot of these were reluctant to let go of the fantasy of digital freedom. Storage Room collapses the binary opposition of real and virtual space by using online data storage as a conduit for IRL art production. The artworks here will not be available for viewing online in a 'screen' environment but only as part of a downloadable package with the intention that the exhibition could be displayed (in a physical space) by any interested party and realised as ambitiously or minimally as the downloader wishes, based on their means. The artists will therefore also supply a set of instructions for the physical installation of the work alongside the digital files. In response to this curatorial initiative, File Transfer Protocol invites seven UK based artists to produce digital art for a physical environment, addressing the intersection between the virtual and the material. The files range from sound, video, digital prints and net art, blueprints for an action to take place, something to be made, a conceptual text piece, etc. About the works and artists: Polly Fibre is the pseudonym of London-based artist Christine Ellison. Ellison creates live music using domestic devices such as sewing machines, irons and slide projectors. Her costumes and stage sets propose a physical manifestation of the virtual space that is created inside software like Photoshop. For this exhibition, Polly Fibre invites the audience to create a musical composition using a pair of amplified scissors and a turntable. http://www.pollyfibre.com John Russell, a founding member of 1990s art group Bank, is an artist, curator and writer who explores in his work the contemporary political conditions of the work of art. In his digital print, Russell collages together visual representations of abstract philosophical ideas and transforms them into a post apocalyptic landscape that is complex and banal at the same time. www.john-russell.org The work of Bristol based artist Jem Nobel opens up a dialogue between the contemporary and the legacy of 20th century conceptual art around questions of collectivism and participation, authorship and individualism. His print SPACE concretizes the representation of the most common piece of Unicode: the vacant space between words. In this way, the gap itself turns from invisible cipher to sign. www.jemnoble.com Annabel Frearson is rewriting Mary Shelley's Frankenstein using all and only the words from the original text. Frankenstein 2, or the Monster of Main Stream, is read in parts by different performers, embodying the psychotic character of the protagonist, a mongrel hybrid of used language. www.annabelfrearson.com Darren Banks uses fragments of effect laden Holywood films to create an impossible space. The fictitious parts don't add up to a convincing material reality, leaving the viewer with a failed amalgamation of simulations of sophisticated technologies. www.darrenbanks.co.uk FIELDCLUB is collaboration between artist Paul Chaney and researcher Kenna Hernly. Chaney and Hernly developed together a project that critically examines various proposals for the management of sustainable ecological systems. Their FIELDMACHINE invites the public to design an ideal agricultural field. By playing with different types of crops that are found in the south west of England, it is possible for the user, for example, to create a balanced, but protein poor, diet or to simply decide to 'get rid' of half the population. The meeting point of the Platonic field and it physical consequences, generates a geometric abstraction that investigates the relationship between modernist utopianism and contemporary actuality. www.fieldclub.co.uk Pil and Galia Kollectiv, who have also curated the exhibition are London-based artists and run the xero, kline & coma gallery. Here they present a dialogue between two computers. The conversation opens with a simple text book problem in business studies. But gradually the language, mimicking the application of game theory in the business sector, becomes more abstract. The two interlocutors become adversaries trapped forever in a competition without winners. www.kollectiv.co.uk

Fragmentos da história das concepções de mundo na construção das ciências da natureza: das certezas medievais às dúvidas pré-modernas

A concepção filosófica do mundo se inicia com os gregos sintetizados por Platão e Aristóteles. Para o primeiro o mundo físico é aparente e para se chegar à verdade é preciso se lembrar das idéias originais que determinam seu significado. Para o segundo as coisas físicas são dirigidas pelas idéias e para entendê-las é preciso a lógica. Durante o helenismo a escola de Alexandria elabora o neoplatonismo, a base da Patrística. Após a queda de Roma, os filósofos bizantinos guardam a herança clássica. A Igreja constrói uma visão neoplatônica da cristandade, a Escolástica. No oriente os persas também sofreram a influência grega. Entre os árabes do Oriente o pensamento neoplatônico orienta filósofos e religiosos de forma que para eles a razão e a fé não se separam. Aí a ciências se desenvolvem na física, na alquimia, na botânica, na medicina, na matemática e na lógica, até serem subjugadas pela doutrina conservadora dos otomanos. Na Espanha mulçumana sem as restrições da teologia, a filosofia de Aristóteles é mais bem compreendida do que no resto do Islã. Também aí todas as ciências se desenvolvem rápido. Mas a Espanha sucumbe aos cristãos. Os árabes e judeus apresentam Aristóteles à Europa Ocidental que elabora um Aristóteles cristão. A matemática, a física experimental, a alquimia e a medicina dos árabes influenciam intensamente o Ocidente. Os artesãos constroem instrumentos cada vez mais precisos, os navegadores constroem navios e mapas mais eficientes e minuciosos, os armeiros calculam melhor a forma de lançamento e pontaria de suas armas e os agrimensores melhor elaboram a medida de sua área de mapeamento. Os artistas principalmente italianos, a partir dos clássicos gregos e árabes, criam a perspectiva no desenho, possibilitando a matematização do espaço. Os portugueses, junto com cientistas árabes, judeus e italianos, concluem um projeto de expansão naval e ampliam os horizontes do mundo. Os pensadores italianos, como uma reação à Escolástica, constroem um pensamento humanista influenciado pelo pensamento grego clássico original e pelos últimos filósofos bizantinos. Por todas essas mudanças se inicia a construção de um novo universo e de um novo método, que viria décadas mais tarde.

O lugar pedagógico da educação física na educação infantil: saberes (re)construídos na formação continuada do PAIDÉIA/UFRN

The present study aimed to investigate the overview of teachers in continuing education program who work in kindergarten, about the continuing education developed by the Paideia/UFRN through the Course of Specialization in Art Teaching and Physical Education in Childhood, having as key focus, the knowing / doing related to physical education in Childhood. From this general goal, it was elected some specific objectives as: to know the interests and expectations that motivated the teachers to participate of that referred training; the evaluation by teachers on regard of the continuing education proposed: boosters factors for possible changes in teaching activities regarding the practice of teaching physical education in kindergarten. The methodology took the principles and techniques of qualitative research strategy and the characteristics of descriptive and interpretive strategy. The locus of this research was the Course of Specialization in Art Education and Physical Education in childhood, having as the citizens of this research twenty three teachers taking that specialization course. For building and systematization of the data, we used the following tools and procedures: a questionnaire, a semi structured interview and documents analysis. The data was constructed based on the technique of content analysis, focusing the reflections and speech of the teachers about the creation of new meanings and senses for the knowing / doing in Physical Education. It was found, among other results, the need and quest for improvement of teacher education, in order to improve educational practice. It was also evident that the situations of dialogues (interactions with peers, with their professors and other professionals in the related area or not) were mentioned by most teachers in the course as a relevant moment of redefinition of knowledge. In relation to Physical Education, it was found that participation in the course of specialization provided the recognition of teaching practice of physical education as part of the curriculum and the importance of inclusion of its specificities in their educational planning. From these elaborations, we come to the conclusion that knowing the perspectives of the teachers about continuing education can contribute to the theoretical and methodological discussions in teachers education and the creation of new actions - projects and programs of continuing education constructing increasingly ways towards a successful teacher formation, able to provide new forms of acting in the educational context
