Percepções de professores sobre repercussões de suas experiências com modelagem matemática

Tendo como objeto de investigação o saber docente, foi desenvolvida a presente pesquisa, que buscando relações entre o envolvimento do professor com experiências de Modelagem Matemática e seu respectivo desenvolvimento profissional, focalizou as percepções do professor sobre as repercussões desse envolvimento nas ações docentes. Participaram dessa pesquisa nove professores que se envolveram com experiências de Modelagem para o ensino da Matemática, a partir de cursos de formação continuada e do estágio da graduação. Os dados referentes à pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e inspiração fenomenológica foram originados e construídos a partir das descrições dos professores acerca de como percebem as mudanças ocorridas em suas práticas de sala de aula, após envolvimento com Modelagem. A análise dos dados por meio das relações entre o quadro teórico da Modelagem, dos Saberes Docentes de Tardif e Gauthier e da sociologia fenomenológica de Schütz revelou que os professores percebem as repercussões de seu envolvimento com experiências de Modelagem Matemática em seus saberes docentes, que se resumem na incorporação de características desse processo em situações de ensino na prática cotidiana. O professor ao questionar o ensino tradicional da Matemática e perceber as repercussões do processo de Modelagem nas atitudes dos alunos, cria as condições favoráveis ao movimento das experiências docentes com Modelagem Matemática para as práticas de sala de aula.

Prevalence and trends of substance abuse in Harris County, Texas, 1989 to 1991

In the late 1980s, Harris County, Texas began experiencing an escalation of drug-related activities. Various indicators used in this analysis tracked drug-related trends from 1989 to 1991 to determine patterns for comparison of local (Houston/Harris County, Texas) to national levels.^ An important indicator of the drug scenario was drug-related activities among youths, which increased during the period of this study. The Harris County Juvenile Probation Department showed that among arrests for drug-related activities, felonies increased from 25% in 1988 to 53% in 1991. With the rise in drug-related crimes, and substance abuse among the student body, school districts were forced to institute drug education programs in an effort to curtail such activities.^ Law enforcement agencies in the county saw increased demands for their services as a result of drug activities. Harris County Sheriffs Department reported a 32% plus increase in drug-related charges between 1986 and 1991. Houston Police Department reported an increase of 109% for the same period.^ Data from the Harris County Medical Examiner, the National Institute of Justice's Drug Use Forecasting System (Houston), and drug treatment facilities around Houston/Harris County, Texas indicated similar drug usage trends. Over a four-year period (1988-91), the drugs most frequently detected during blood and urine analyses were cocaine, followed by marijuana, heroin, LSD, and methamphetamines.^ From 1988 to 1991, most drug rehabilitation organizations experienced increased demands for their services by approximately 35%. Several other organizations experienced as much as a 70 percent increase. Males accounted for roughly 70% and females about 30% of persons seeking treatment. However, the number of females pursuing treatment increased, thereby reducing the gender gap.^ Blacks in Houston/Harris County were at higher risk for drug usage among the general population, but sought treatment more readily than other ethnic groups. Whites sought treatment in similar numbers as Blacks, but overall the risk appeared smaller because they made up a larger portion of the Houston/Harris County population.^ This analysis concluded that drug trends for the Houston/Harris County, Texas did not follow national trends, but showed patterns of its own. It was recommended that other communities carry out similar studies to determine drug use trends particular to their local. ^
