O não-lugar dos professores nos entrelugares de formação continuada

O artigo faz uma análise dos sistemas de representação de professores, delegados eleitos para participarem do GT — Formação e Valorização do Magistério, por ocasião da realização do Seminário Estadual de Política Educacional do Espírito Santo, sobre os processos de formação continuada desenvolvidos pela Secretaria de Educação. Utiliza como referencial de análise as categorias de não-lugar, lugar, espaços-tempos e comunidades compartilhadas, a partir das obras de Lefebvre (1983), Augé (1994), Certeau (2001) e Santos (2000), dentre outros. Trabalha com metodologia baseada em coleta de dados por meio de questionário composto de questões abertas e fechadas. Aponta como resultado que o sistema de representação de professores enuncia a necessidade de instauração de processos de formação continuada voltados para a "utópica" de constituição de um coletivo escolar que supere, por meio de comunidades compartilhadas, o não-lugar por eles ocupado até então.

Academic social network in EHES

This paper presents the foundations of an Academic Social Network (ASN) focusing the Bologna Declaration and the Bologna Process (BP) mobility issues using ontological support. An ASN will permit students to share commons academic interests, preferences and mobility paths in the European Higher Education Space (EHES). The description of the conceptual support is ontology based allowing knowledge sharing and reuse. An approach is presented by merging Academic Ontology to Support the Bologna Mobility Process with Friend of a Friend ontology. The resulting ontology supports the student mobility profile in the ASN. The strategies to make available, in the network, knowledge about mobility issues, are presented including knowledge discovery and simulation approaches to cover student's mobility scenarios for BP.

Uma formação útil para a literacia no novo contexto de Bolonha

A Declaração de Bolonha (1999) obrigou a mudanças várias, reconfigurando os modelos formativos no espaço europeu do ensino superior, até 2010. A partir de 2006, em Portugal, com a criação e adequação dos cursos superiores existentes ao modelo de Bolonha, verificou-se uma generalizada redução da duração média dos diferentes ciclos de estudo e a definição de competências gerais e específicas para os cursos e estudantes. Reflecte-se sobre a importância da literacia da informação, conceito evolutivo e abrangente, que se pode traduzir, sumariamente, em saber quando e porquê se tem uma necessidade informacional, onde encontrar a informação, como avaliá-la, usá-la e comunicá-la de forma ética, incluindo as competências tecnológicas, definição que se inscreve na interdisciplinar Ciência da Informação e no comportamento informacional. Destaca-se a vantagem de uma formação para a literacia da informação no ensino superior, a qual contribuirá, certamente, para dotar os estudantes das referidas competências e melhorá-las. Defende-se a necessidade de uma desejável inter-acção entre múltiplos agentes educativos, com destaque para a trilogia estudantes, bibliotecários e professores, sendo os primeiros encarados como protagonistas activos das suas aprendizagens e devendo ser dotados de competências de literacia da informação, factor determinante para o seu sucesso. Quanto ao Bibliotecário, dotado de novas competências, entre as quais as tecnológicas, deve ser um facilitador do processo de formação para a literacia - preferencialmente integrada num projecto pedagógico e no currículo - articulando a sua acção educativa com estudantes e docentes. Corroborando a extensão educativa das Bibliotecas e aliando-a ao uso inevitável das novas tecnologias da informação e comunicação, sublinha-se o papel das Bibliotecas Digitais, que podem corresponder eficientemente aos anseios dos utilizadores no acesso a uma informação de qualidade, de forma cómoda, rápida, a baixo custo, com personalização dos serviços online, com inter-acção e socialização, através de ferramentas de edição colaborativa, típicas da Web 2.0.

Aplicació de les TIC al treball de l'estudiant, la seva tutorització, avaluació i a la mesura del seu esforç en un marc ECTS d'ensenyament a l'assignatura Disseny Microelectrònic I de l'ensenyament d'Enginyeria en Electrònica

El projecte està associat a l'assignatura de Disseny Microelectrònic I, Troncal de 2on cicle d'Enginyeria en Electrònica a la Universitat de Barcelona. A l'actualitat aquesta assignatura incorpora tant d'estudiants de Física com d'Enginyeries Tècniques d'altres universitats. El seu enfoc és de caire formador pràctic. Temporalment l'assignatura correspon al primer quadrimestre en una carrera que a l'actualitat és només de segon cicle. Per tant correspon a un moment en el qual l'estudiant té el primer contacte amb aquest ensenyament. La introducció de nous conceptes i continguts és constant. Durant els dos anys de durada del projecte, aquest ha permès l’elaboració de material didàctic digital que ha estat incorporat satisfactòriament (ben avaluat per l’alumnat) al material didàctic i les activitats del curs. Un dels objectius principals a aconseguir amb el projecte, combatre el fracàs escolar associat a l’alt índex d’absentisme, s’assoleix amb aquest material. D’altra banda, els alumnes que opten per un seguiment continuat, seguint la metodologia activa del curs, veuen en aquest material el recolzament necessari per afrontar les activitats que se’ls plantegen. En ambdós casos i juntament amb la resta d'activitats presencials del curs, s'aconsegueix incentivar l'autoaprenentatge i motivar l’alumne de forma continuada. El material digital comprèn apunts de l'assignatura i problemes resolts de referència. Durant l’execució del projecte s’ha mesurat contínuament l’esforç de l’estudiant. Aquest era el segon principal objectiu del projecte, sense el qual una adaptació a la metodologia ECTS i a l’EEES és impossible. S'ha mesurat l'esforç que provoquen les diferents activitats, especialment aquelles activitats cooperatives que motiven més l'alumnat però que també el carreguen més. Com a eina per a l'estudiant s'ha desenvolupat un aplicatiu que permet que ell mateix conegui el seu esforç enfront de la resta d'alumnes com a mesura de la seva qualitat d'estudi.

eLab, a Personal Learning Environment for the Green Open Innovation Platform

Open Innovation is a relatively new concept which involves a change of paradigm in the R+D+i processes of companies whose aim is to create new technologies or new processes. If to this change, we add the need for innovation in the new green and sustainability economy, and we set out to create a collaborative platform with a learning space where this can happen, we will be facing an overwhelming challenge which requires the application of intelligent programming technologies and languages at the service of education.The aim of the Green IDI (Green Open Innovation) ¿ Economic development and job creation vector in SMEs, based on the environment and sustainability project is to create a platform where companies and individual researchers can perform open innovation processes in the field of sustainability and the environment.The Green IDI (Green Open Innovation) project is funded under the program INNPACTO by the Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain and is being developed through a consortium formed by the following institutions: GRUPO ICA; COMPARTIA; GRUPO INTERCOM; CETAQUA and the Instituto de Investigación en Inteligencia Artificial (IIIA) from Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC). Also the consortium include FUNDACIÓ PRIVADA BARCELONA DIGITAL; PIMEC and UNIVERSITAT OBERTA DE CATALUNYA (UOC).Sustainability and positive action for the environment are considered the principle vector of economic development for companies. As Nicolás Scoli says (2007) ¿in short, preventing unnecessary consumption and the efficient consumption of resources means producing greater wealth with less. Both effects lead to reduced pollution linked to production and consumption¿.The Spanish Sustainable Development Strategy (EEDS) plan defends consumption and sustainable production linked to social and economic development by adhering to the commitment not to endanger ecosystems and abolishing the idea that economic growth is directly proportional to the deterioration of the environment.Uniting the Open Innovation and New Green Economy concepts leads to the "Green Open Innovation¿ Platform creation project.This article analyses the concept of open innovation and defines the importance of the new green and sustainable economy. Lastly, it proposes the creation of eLab. The eLab is defined as an Open Green Innovation Platform personal and collaborative education space which is fed by the interactions of users and which enables innovation processes based on new green economy concepts to be carried out.The creation of a personal learning environment such as eLab on the Green Open Innovation Platform meets the need to offer a collaborative space where platform users can improve their skills regarding the environment and sustainability based on collaborative synergies through Information and Communication Technologies.

A dimensão espacial e o proceder pedagógico

This research was conducted at the Post Graduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. It had the aim to understand the spatial conception associated with the pedagogical action. It promoted a historical-scientific approach to concepts of space to emphasize the spatiality from the geographical and educational theoretical referential. In it empiria situated in a university student universe, has utilized a quantitative measuring instrument as a subsidy to a qualitative dialogical analysis. It showed a synthetic framework arising from the interaction and the reflection focused into problems, challenges and potential of a pedagogical vision that considers the spatiality of teaching education. It seeks to promote delineations of paths pedagogical to a integrate approach of heterotopic space conception, as a necessary critical condition to the appropriation of social reality without doing the epistemological dichotomy, enhancing it signification to the learning academic teaching ambience; as well the scientific and teaching formation in the geography course

O ensino de Filosofia no Brasil: história e perspectivas para o filosofar

The following article has as the main concern and tendency to think and offer some ideas on the Teaching of Philosophy in Brazil and historically conceptions constructed about the philosophy, this constituting itself a challenge to Brazilian education and the formation of people. It is pertinent to the conciliation in the Teaching of Philosophy, from the History of Philosophy, the philosophize and not to join immediately to philosophical systems and their conceptions, but that is structured from the real problems of each situation and experienced in education space and society in general as an macrostructure that requires reflection about your problems. Note that, during the 500 years of education in Brazil, especially in this aspect of Teaching Philosophy characteristics with respect to the concerns and the philosophical problems have been modified, initially, a more obedient to the rules, passing, sometime later, the valorization of polemic and, finally, the systematization of reality and reflection of the real problems faced by a society such as the Brazilian. In this sense, it is proposed to understand and analyze the Teaching of Philosophy in both, the primary and secondary education and, especially, in the university.

Wiki-supported collaborative learning in primary education. How a dialogic space is created for thinking together

This paper explores how wikis may be used to support primary education students’ collaborative interaction and how such an interaction process can be characterised. The overall aim of this study is to analyse the collaborative processes of students working together in a wiki environment, in order to see how primary students can actively create a shared context for learning in the wiki. Educational literature has already reported that wikis may support collaborative knowledge-construction processes, but in our study we claim that a dialogic perspective is needed to accomplish this. Students must develop an intersubjective orientation towards each others’ perspectives, to co-construct knowledge about a topic. For this purpose, our project utilised a ‘Thinking Together’ approach to help students develop an intersubjective orientation towards one another and to support the creation of a ‘dialogic space’ to co-construct new understanding in a wiki science project. The students’ asynchronous interaction process in a primary classroom -- which led to the creation of a science text in the wiki -- was analysed and characterised, using a dialogic approach to the study of CSCL practices. Our results illustrate how the Thinking Together approach became embedded within the wiki environment and in the students’ collaborative processes. We argue that a dialogic approach for examining interaction can be used to help design more effective pedagogic approaches related to the use of wikis in education and to equip learners with the competences they need to participate in the global knowledge-construction era.

An Examination of the Development of Online Higher Education in Canada and China: Keeping Pace and Making Space

This study examined the similarities and differences that currently exist between Chinese and Canadian online higher education, and explored the economic, political, and sociocultural environments that have shaped online education in these two jurisdictions. Furthermore, this paper discussed the efficacy of, and potential for, future development of online learning in higher education in both Canada and China. The research employed a collective case study design to gather information and data on the development of online higher education. The analysis on Contact North in Canada and the One-Man University in China provide a comparative perspective on the development of 2 typical online higher educational institutions in these two countries. The study revealed that the development of online higher education is influenced by the economic, political, and sociocultural factors of environment. Contact North and the One-Man University share similarities in many aspects, but are characteristically different. The Contact North can set an example for establishing and operating a self-regulated MOOCs platform. The study also generated implications for both organizations.

Training project management complexity in postgraduate and continuing education programs: a learning strategy in the eshe (European Space of Higher Education) framework

The objective of this paper is to address the methodological process of a teaching strategy for training project management complexity in postgraduate programs. The proposal is made up of different methods —intuitive, comparative, deductive, case study, problem-solving Project-Based Learning— and different activities inside and outside the classroom. This integration of methods motivated the current use of the concept of “learning strategy”. The strategy has two phases: firstly, the integration of the competences —technical, behavioral and contextual—in real projects; and secondly, the learning activity was oriented in upper level of knowledge, the evaluating the complexity for projects management in real situations. Both the competences in the learning strategy and the Project Complexity Evaluation are based on the ICB of IPMA. The learning strategy is applied in an international Postgraduate Program —Erasmus Mundus Master of Science— with the participation of five Universities of the European Union. This master program is fruit of a cooperative experience from one Educative Innovation Group of the UPM -GIE-Project-, two Research Groups of the UPM and the collaboration with other external agents to the university. Some reflections on the experience and the main success factors in the learning strategy were presented in the paper
