A supervisão pedagógica como prática de transformação: o lugar das narrativas profissionais

Este texto tem como objetivo discutir o lugar das narrativas profissionais, de natureza autobiográfica, produzidas por professores em contexto de formação pós-graduada em supervisão pedagógica. Começando pela discussão do conceito de qualidade em educação, e que radica numa concepção de educação para o desenvolvimento sustentável e para a transformação de pessoas e de contextos, a autora passa para uma análise do papel dos professores no desenvolvimento de práticas pedagógicas de qualidade. Embora os contextos de educação e de formação tenham um papel determinante, os professores, principalmente através das expectativas que detêm face aos seus alunos, têm um papel crucial no combate a formas de discriminação e de exclusão nas escolas. O conceito de supervisão que informa este texto também se coloca ao serviço da qualidade em educação enunciada, ao ser tomado enquanto teoria e prática de regulação crítica e colaborativa da pedagogia e do desenvolvimento profissional, numa visão da educação para a transformação e para a sustentabilidade. O texto finaliza com a ilustração do modo como as narrativas profissionais se constituem enquanto estratégias de autossupervisão do trabalho docente num contexto de formação pós-graduada. Desenvolvidas em contextos profissionais, e estabelecendo pontes entre o conhecimento acadêmico e experiencial, elas incidem na análise dos modos como o trabalho docente se coloca (ou não) ao serviço de uma pedagogia e de um desenvolvimento profissional docente assente em valores de sustentabilidade e de transformação, identificando os constrangimentos estruturais e apontando rumos de ação.

GroEL and CCT are catalytic unfoldases mediating out-of-cage polypeptide refolding without ATP.

Chaperonins are cage-like complexes in which nonnative polypeptides prone to aggregation are thought to reach their native state optimally. However, they also may use ATP to unfold stably bound misfolded polypeptides and mediate the out-of-cage native refolding of large proteins. Here, we show that even without ATP and GroES, both GroEL and the eukaryotic chaperonin containing t-complex polypeptide 1 (CCT/TRiC) can unfold stable misfolded polypeptide conformers and readily release them from the access ways to the cage. Reconciling earlier disparate experimental observations to ours, we present a comprehensive model whereby following unfolding on the upper cavity, in-cage confinement is not needed for the released intermediates to slowly reach their native state in solution. As over-sticky intermediates occasionally stall the catalytic unfoldase sites, GroES mobile loops and ATP are necessary to dissociate the inhibitory species and regenerate the unfolding activity. Thus, chaperonin rings are not obligate confining antiaggregation cages. They are polypeptide unfoldases that can iteratively convert stable off-pathway conformers into functional proteins.

Termination of major ductile strike-slip shear and differential cooling along the Insubric line (Central Alps): U-Pb, Rb-Sr and 40Ar/39Ar ages of cross-cutting pegmatites

To constrain the age of strike-slip shear, related granitic magmatism, and cooling along the Insubric line, 29 size fractions of monazite and xenotime were dated by the U-Pb method, and a series of 25 Rb-Sr and Ar-40/Ar-39 ages were measured on different size fractions of muscovite and biotite. The three pegmatitic intrusions analyzed truncate high-grade metamorphic mylonite gneisses of the Simplon shear zone, a major Alpine structure produced in association with dextral strike-slip movements along the southern edge of the European plate, after collision with its Adriatic indenter. Pegmatites and aplites were produced between 29 and 25 Ma in direct relation to right-lateral shear along the Insubric line, by melting of continental crust having Sr-87/Sr-86 between 0.7199 and 0.7244 at the time of melting. High-temperature dextral strike-slip shear was active at 29.2 +/- 0.2 (2 sigma) Ma, and it terminated before 26.4 +/- 0.1 Ma. During dike injection, temperatures in the country rocks of the Isorno-Orselina and Monte Rosa structural units did not exceed approximate to 500 degrees C, leading to fast initial cooling, followed by slower cooling to approximate to 350 degrees C within several million years. In one case, initial cooling to approximate to 500 degrees C was significantly delayed by about 4 m.y., with final cooling to approximate to 300 degrees C at 20-19 Ma in all units. For the period between 29 and 19 Ma, cooling of the three sample localities was non-uniform in space and time, with significant variations on the kilometre scale. These differences are most likely due to strongly varying heat flow, and/or heterogeneous distribution of unroofing rates within the continuously deforming Insubric line. If entirely ascribed to differences in unroofing, corresponding rates would vary between 0.5 and 2.5 mm/y, for a thermal gradient of 30 degrees/km.
