O Sertão educa

Para la construcción de la tesis, reflexionamos sobre el sertão como un lugar que educa. Basado en la filosofía de la naturaleza, Merleau-Ponty, en alguna literatura del país, libros sobre la obra del poeta de la canción (João Batista de Siqueira), en las directrices, en conversaciones con los bosquimanos do Cariri paraibano y Pajeú Pernambuco, es posible pensar y entender la educación por la relación humana del interior con la naturaleza y la poesía. En el campo de la reflexión epistemológica, entendemos que la educación para la vida puede ser una ruta para entender el hombre de aprendizaje por medio de las relaciones y la construcción de un conocimiento compartido y experimentado a diario al nuevo aprendizaje. Involucrados con el fenómeno de Bush, la actitud fenomenológica era de fundamental importancia para poder caminar en los caminos de la investigación, siempre teniendo cuidado para no ser un alojamiento antes de que el fenómeno investigado, pero sí, un punto de partida para la construcción de horizontes de sentido, dando otros significados para una mejor aproximación. Es posible entender que la educación es la experiencia vivida de los sertanejos con la naturaleza y la poesía. Esta perspectiva fenomenológica revela que la educación de Bush emerge del mundo vivió de la montaña, a través del contacto sensible con otros animales, las plantas y la poesía. Es una educación corporal, como sucede en el universo de sensibilidad y abre el campo de la existencia humana, interconectado con los seres animados e inanimados do sertão

Nature, Poetry, and Liminality in the Poetry of Robert Frost

Explores how Frost examines and configures the divide between life’s imperfections and its rewards. I am particularly interested in how Frost positions both the non-human natural world and poetry itself as intermediary (or liminal) realms that might help us live simultaneously in the worlds of reality and the imagination, or truth and beauty, or heaven and earth.

The nature of imagination in Education for Sustainability

 This research investigated the nature and role of imagination in Education for Sustainability. Through participation, observation and interview, the research examined the ways in which understanding sustainability requires imagination. From a New Materialist standpoint, imagination is re-conceptualised and re-positioned as central and constitutive to learning and knowing.

Utilizing argumentation to teach nature of science

The quest for the achievement of informed nature of science (NOS) views for all learners continues to inspire science educators to seek out effective instructional interventions to aid in the development of learners’ NOS views. Despite the extensive amount of research conducted in the field, the development of informed NOS views has been difficult to achieve, with many studies reporting difficulties in changing learners’ NOS views. Can engaging learners in argumentation lead to improvements in their NOS views? This review answers this question by examining studies which have explored NOS and argumentation in science education. The review also outlines a rationale for incorporating argumentation in science education, together with a brief overview of important recent studies in the field. Implications drawn from this review suggest that the incorporation of explicit NOS and argumentation instruction, together with consideration of various contextual, task-specific and personal factors which could mediate learners’ NOS views and engagement in argumentation, could lead to improvements in learners’ views of NOS.

Asterisms

ASTERISMS is a collection of lyric poetry that seeks to express a sense of awe for the natural world by exploring themes of science, art, and the self. By combining physics and metaphysics, scientific terminology and musings on love, ASTERISMS argues that these seemingly-disparate fields of knowledge can harmonize in unexpected ways. In its style, the collection draws from the works of Dorianne Laux, Pablo Neruda, and Annie Dillard. Most of the poems are written in free-version and are tied together by images of astronomy and wilderness, both modern and prehistoric. Poems about classical music appear as interludes meant to complement others concerned with science and technology, as music too has its own invented language. Like asterisms - ancient inventions meant to personalize the expansive mystery of the night sky - this collection seeks to admire, if not completely understand, our place in the natural world and cosmos beyond.

A Obra de Arte como Verdade Poética

Tomando como referência o texto A Origem da Obra de Arte de Heidegger, o objectivo desta dissertação é a análise da questão da obra de arte como verdade poética. Considerando a experiência do conhecimento como a origem da criação, por via do que o mundo revela, e considerando tanto a produção artística como outras formas de produção pela mão do homem enquanto atitudes de apresentação da verdade encontrada, ela reflecte acerca daquilo que a obra de arte tem e que a distingue das demais criações do homem

Gaining a better understanding of how Outward Bound Western Canada course outcomes are achieved : a research study /

This study examined how Outward Bound Western Canada (OBWC) course outcomes are achieved by exploring the relationships among course components, students' characteristics, and course outcomes. OBWC is a wilderness-based adventure education organization that helps students achieve outcomes such as increased self-awareness, self-confidence, motivation, interpersonal skills, concern for others, and concern for the environment. This study explored the ways in which the various components of courses and the characteristics of students contribute to determining the outcomes students experience as a result of their courses. The purpose of the study was to gain a better understanding of how OBWC course outcomes are achieved in order to strengthen adventure education theory, enhance practice at OBWC and other adventure education organizations, and provide a foundation for further research on this topic. As an interpretive case study, this study sought to describe how OBWC course outcomes are achieved and to provide interpretations of the research findings. Data was gathered from OBWC students and instructors using the quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques of questionnaire, interview, and observation. Data collected from 98 participants ensured a considerable breadth to the study, while interviews with a number of participants also enabled the collection of in-depth data. Analysis and triangulation of the data from the various sources allowed discernment of the research findings. A comprehensive and detailed picture of how course outcomes are achieved emerged from the findings. Twenty-nine course components were found to influence course outcomes, including various aspects of course activities, the physical environment, instructors, and the group. The findings indicated that certain course components were most influential in determining increases to students' self-awareness, self-confidence, self-reliance, self-esteem, self-concept, motivation, self-responsibility, interpersonal skills, concern for others, and concern for the environment. A number of course components were found to indirectly contribute to positive course outcomes by helping maximize the effectiveness of other components, by increasing students' motivation while on course, or by facilitating the processing and transference of new information. The findings also suggested that several course components either directly or indirectly affected course outcomes in negative ways. In addition, the gender, age, population, and expectations of students were found to play a role in determining the course outcomes they experienced and in determining which course components caused those outcomes. Interpretation of the findings resulted in the generation of research-based theory. The main theoretical argument derived from the results of the study was that course outcomes are influenced by a combination of course components and characteristics of students. More specifically, the theory generated by the study indicated that five groupings of factors contribute to course outcomes, including course activities, the physical environment, instructors, the group, and students' characteristics. The study was considered in relation to existing adventure education literature and larger theoretical issues. The generated theory and research findings were then used to develop suggestions for improving practice at OBWC and other adventure education organizations, as well as for enhancing future research studies.

A poesia épica na construção dos Discursos de Dion Crisóstomo

Epic poetry in the construction of Dion Chrysostom’s Discourses. The construction of images in the speeches of Dion Chrysostom was drawn from references in Homer. When the orator uses images from Greek epic poetry, Dion Chrysostom intimates the representation of images found in the literature to propagate his philosophical and political ideas during the first century A.D. under the administration of the emperors Domitian, Nerva and Trajan. Current analysis of the author’s works discusses literature as one of the representational forms of Hellenistic identity under Roman domination.

Com fer lectors de poesia en secundària

En aquest article es presenten una sèrie d’activitats pràctiques i de reflexions amb el propòsit de fer lectors de poesia a Secundària, tot un repte per al professorat. S’hi insisteix en la necessitat de treballar a l’aula textos poètics per descobrir una altra forma d'utilitzar el llenguatge, vinculada al joc del ritme i la rima de les paraules, i perquè la poesia és indispensable per al desenvolupament intel·lectual i afectiu. Es pretén així facilitar experiències gratificants per ajudar el nostre alumnat a descobrir el gust per la lectura, l'escriptura i la dramatització de textos poètics.

CONCEPÇÕES FUNDANTES NO DISCURSO DOS PROFESSORES E CONSTRUÇÃO DE VALORES PEDAGÓGICOS NUM CURSO DE PEDAGOGIA

Esta pesquisa surge da minha preocupação sobre os valores pedagógicos no ensino superior: quais são, quais os seus fundamentos filosóficos, como são concebidos e aplicados na prática docente e especificamente na formação de professores em um curso de Pedagogia. Os conhecimentos, saber-fazer, métodos e habilidades que são mobilizados diariamente, nas salas de aula, com o fim de formar outros professores, também são partes desta busca. O referencial fundamenta-se nas concepções de Paulo Freire sobre valores pedagógicos e sobre educação, a partir da sua visão antropológica, gnosiológica e política do ser humano e de uma sociedade mais justa e equilibrada. O objetivo freiriano é uma educação libertadora que supere as contradições entre opressores e oprimidos, para evitar, por meio da educação, que elas sejam mantidas ou resolvidas a partir de uma solução individual ou por meios violentos. Somente um conjunto de valores pedagógicos bem assimilados e praticados, por parte dos docentes e daqueles que participam do processo educativo, permitem a superação da opressão: diálogo, humildade, fé nos homens, pensar crítico, ética, amor. A aceitação e realização desses valores permitirão não somente melhorar a educação em si, mas a sociedade como um todo. A pesquisa inclui reflexões sobre o ensino brasileiro e a qualidade dos professores com relação ao agir na formação e na sua própria transformação individual como seres críticos, ao usar os valores pedagógicos objeto do pensamento de Freire. Como instrumentos metodológicos, foram utilizados: leitura de textos e artigos de Paulo Freire e de outros comentadores e educadores brasileiros e estrangeiros; questionários fechados que permitiram coletar dados sobre o clima e a cultura organizacional e verificar que a educação nacional ainda está presa a estruturas históricas tradicionais, as quais se manifestam em conteúdos e metodologias que não resolvem a crise educacional do nosso país. Esses questionários foram aplicados a alguns professores, escolhidos por amostragem, do curso de Pedagogia de uma instituição superior em São Paulo. Os resultados desta pesquisa apontam que as opiniões dos professores entrevistados revelam um enfoque pouco participativo. Em alguns aspectos, eles demonstram que não há o hábito de diálogo sobre os problemas educacionais, como também não há abertura para medidas inovadoras que poderiam contribuir para com a qualidade do ensino e aprendizado. Isso demonstra o abismo entre o discurso e a prática docente colaborando para a falta de inspiração e de consciência crítica que todo profissional deve possuir, como valor pedagógico.(AU)
