A educa����o no primeiro governo de Lauro Sodr�� (1886-1897): os sentidos de uma concep����o pol��tico-educacional republicana

Este trabalho tem por tema a Hist��ria da Educa����o e apresenta como objeto de pesquisa a concep����o pol��tico-educacional que orientou as reformas educacionais do primeiro governo de Lauro Sodr�� (1891-1897). O seu objetivo �� analisar os sentidos que essa concep����o pol��tico-educacional assumiu na orienta����o daquelas reformas educacionais ��� tendo em vista que essa concep����o �� formulada originalmente no Governo Provis��rio (1889-1891), presidido por Justo Chermont, anterior ao de Lauro Sodr��. Problematizam-se os objetivos e as finalidades que a concep����o pol��tico-educac cional constru��da no Governo Provis��rio (1889-1891) assume nas reformas citadas, ou seja, quais os sentidos, pol��ticos e educacionais, que essa concep����o ter�� na dire����o dessas reformas educacionais do primeiro governo de Lauro Sodr�� (1891-1897). Como metodologia, a pesquisa documental, com utiliza����o de fontes prim��rias (documentos) e secund��rias (historiografia), e a sua articula����o com aporte te��rico. Assim, apontemos o corpus documental utilizado. Ele foi divido em tr��s categorias: documentos impressos oficiais, jornal e obras impressas. Entre os documentos impressos oficiais: os Relat��rios e Mensagens de Presidente de Prov��ncia de 1886 a 1889 e do Governador do Estado (Lauro Sodr��) ao Congresso do Estado do Par��, no per��odo de 1891-1897. O jornal: A Rep��blica entre 1886-1897. E por fim, as obras impressas: obras de Lauro Sodr��, como Cren��as e opini��es (1997) e Palavras e actos (1896). Para tal esfor��o, utilizamos como aporte te��rico para a leitura do objeto aqui proposto: o conceito de intelectual org��nico de Antonio Gramsci (1989; 2001); discurso de acordo com Mikhail Bakhtin (1979); campo educacional nas formula����es de Pierre Bourdieu (1982; 2003; 2008) e representa����o segundo Roger Chartier (1990; 1991). Constatou-se que a concep����o pol��tico-educacional investigada tem suas origens nas proposi����es e cr��ticas dos republicanos �� pol��tica e �� educa����o no Imp��rio. Essas proposi����es s��o efetivadas na reforma do ensino prim��rio do Governo Provis��rio, como finalidade educacional, e a forma����o de cidad��os regenerados e comprometidos com o regime republicano rec��m proclamado, a partir da inf��ncia, como objetivo pol��tico. Nas reformas operadas no primeiro governo de Lauro Sodr��, a preocupa����o �� com a educa����o secund��ria e profissional, al��m da forma����o de cidad��os junto aos trabalhadores paraenses. Dessa forma, conclu��mos que essa concep����o pol��tico-educacional procura legitimar o regime republicano nos seus primeiros momentos e no tempo de sua consolida����o, buscando, por meio da educa����o, objetivar os seus intentos pol��ticos.

Empowering Teachers as Leaders: A Hard Sell

Despite emphasis on preparing teachers as leaders, teacher educators realize that the transition of classroom practitioners into school leaders is fraught with many obstacles. This session addresses some of these obstacles, describes strategies and opportunities that we have used in our graduate master���s degree programs for teachers that support professionals as they make this change. The session will present evidence on the results of our efforts in terms of teachers��� performances within their programs and in the field after they graduate.

Use and abuse of audivisual media in the college classroom. Slides show and web pages

The multimedia development that has taken place within the university classrooms in recent years has caused a revolution at psychological level within the collectivity of students and teachers inside and outside the classrooms. The slide show applications have become a key supporting element for university professors, who, in many cases, rely blindly in the use of them for teaching. Additionally, ill-conceived slides, poorly structured and with a vast amount of multimedia content, can be the basis of a faulty communication between teacher and student, which is overwhelmed by the appearance and presentation, neglecting their content. The same applies to web pages. This paper focuses on the study and analysis of the impact caused in the process of teaching and learning by the slide show presentations and web pages, and its positive and negative influence on the student���s learning process, paying particular attention to the consequences on the level of attention within the classroom, and on the study outside the classroom. The study is performed by means of a qualitative analysis of student surveys conducted during the last 8 school Civil Engineering School at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. It presents some of the weaknesses of multimedia material, including the difficulties for students to study them, because of the many distractions they face and the need for incentives web pages offer, or the insignificant content and shallowness of the studies due to wrongly formulated presentations.
