Developing a social work curriculum on political conflict – Findings from an IASSW funded project

This paper presents the findings from an innovative project funded by the
International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW) and undertaken by
an international team of academics investigating the development of a global
curriculum for social work in the context of political conflict. Coupled alongside
the emerging research and literature on the subject, our small-scale survey
findings indicate support for the need for social work educators to address
political conflict more systematically within social work curricula at both
undergraduate and post-qualifying levels of social work education. The paper
illuminates the opportunities for creative pedagogy whilst also examining the
threats and challenges permeating the realisation of such initiatives. In this way,
the implementation of a proposed curriculum for political conflict is given meaning within the context of IASSW’s Global Standards for social work education. Given the exploratory nature of this project, the authors do conclude that further research is warranted in regard to potential curriculum development and suggest using a comparative case study approach with more in-depth qualitative methods as a way to address this.

A prática do(a) coordenador(a) pedagógico(a) na Rede Municipal de Ensino do Rio de Janeiro: formação continuada de professores?

Este estudo tem o objetivo de pesquisar a prática do(a) coordenador(a) pedagógico(a) na Rede Municipal de Ensino do Rio de Janeiro. Para entender a dinâmica de trabalho desses profissionais analisei os períodos em que a Rede Municipal de Ensino estava orientada pela Multieducação, pelo Ciclo de Formação no Ensino Fundamental e pelas transformações curriculares propostas a partir de 2009, quando se iniciou uma nova gestão na Secretaria Municipal de Educação (SME). Realizei um estudo do tipo etnográfico, dialogando com autores que propiciam melhor compreensão da complexa prática do(a) coordenador(a) pedagógico(a) nas escolas. Em seguida, observei as transformações das políticas curriculares da Rede Municipal de Ensino a partir do ciclo de políticas proposto por Stephen J. Ball e colaboradores. E, por fim, examinei a prática de coordenadores(as) pedagógicos(as) através do contexto cultural e da dinâmica do currículo nas respectivas escolas, compreendendo a função desse profissional como mediador(a) das políticas de currículo na Rede Municipal de Ensino do Rio de Janeiro.

O ensino da Língua Portuguesa nas escolas públicas do estado do Rio de Janeiro: prescritivo ou produtivo?

A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar como tem sido o ensino de Língua Portuguesa na Rede Pública de Ensino do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, no século XXI, a partir das orientações curriculares prescritas pela Secretaria de Estado de Educação, buscando investigar se se trata de um ensino prescritivo ou produtivo. Para tanto, toma-se como objeto de análise a proposta curricular para o ensino de Língua Portuguesa, produzida no documento de Reorientação Curricular entregue às escolas em 2006 e no documento atual conhecido como Currículo Mínimo. Nessa proposta, é objeto de análise o discurso do documento oficial no que tange à concepção de linguagem priorizada e ao objetivo do ensino da língua materializado através do que ele apresenta como objeto de ensino das aulas de Língua Portuguesa. Esta pesquisa toma como estratégia metodológica a análise documental, utilizando a abordagem sócio-histórica na pesquisa qualitativa de inspiração bakhtiniana. A base teórica que sustenta, principalmente, esta pesquisa é a teoria da enunciação de Mikhail Bakhtin e postulados de Halliday, McIntosh e Strevens (1974) acerca do ensino prescritivo e produtivo da língua

A pedagogia das competências como política curricular do ensino médio na rede pública do Estado do Rio de Janeiro: a hegemonia da formação flexível?

A presente dissertação busca realizar uma reflexão sobre a hegemonia da pedagogia das competências como noção orientadora da proposta curricular do ensino médio na rede estadual de educação do Rio de Janeiro. Para alcançar tal objetivo buscamos verificar,através de analises de documentos oficiais, referenciais teóricos e da observação da estruturação do sistema educacional fluminense, o quanto se tem promovido a formação flexível como padrão a ser desenvolvido entre os discentes da rede. Buscou-se analisar, em um primeiro momento, a configuração do Estado capitalista, suas características principais e as mudanças referentes ao neoliberalismo. Procurou-se, em seguida, realizar uma reflexão acerca da cultura e da práxis profissional dos docentes, buscando elencar a construção de ações profissionais permeadas por princípios do capitalismo. Realizamos também uma aproximação ao conhecimento acerca do currículo, sua organização histórica e representatividade na atividade docente. Como última etapa do trabalho, buscamos realizar uma análise da proposta curricular do estado do Rio de Janeiro, indicando a centralidade que a pedagogia das competências assume no documento oficial. Analisamos, ainda, o plano de metas da SEEDUC-RJ, identificando algumas características do plano e sua articulação com a lógica da formação flexível. Por fim, realizamos, ainda, entrevistas com alguns docentes, visando a atestar fragilidades e inconsistências do currículo mínimo e da lógica formativa. Ao final, foi possível constatar como o modelo neoliberal tem espalhado suas orientações por todo o estado fluminense. Ainda explicitamos o alinhamento entre as noções globais e a materialização dessas noções no ensino local, mostrando a pedagogia das competências como dimensão formativa atrelada aos anseios de um saber fazer distante da formação emancipatória do homem.

The connection between career education and career maturity /

The value of career education is measured by the extent to which it enhances students' decision making skills regarding career planning. This is referred to as "career maturity". The purpose of this study was to examine what connections could be found between career education and career maturity within one career planning course. A senior level career planning class was studied in depth for one semester and five senior students participated in the study. The five students were interviewed three times during the semester to determine whether, and to what extent, students feel more prepared personally to make decisions as a result of a guided course of instruction. The current trend in education shows an increased emphasis on career education. The government mandates career education, students are in need of career planning courses, and parents want students to learn how to effectively make decisions concerning their future. With this increased emphasis comes the need to evaluate current career education programs which is why this study is significant and useful. The central findings were as follows: first, as a result of taking a career planning course students did increase their career maturity. Second, current career education planning curriculum was similar to the proposed course of study for career planning which comes into effect in September 1999. Current curriculum does help to prepare students to make informed educational and career decisions, a chief aim of the proposed curriculum. Knowing that this outcome is currently achieved will help when the course is being organized to fit the new curriculum.

Proposta Curricular para Educação infantil: (re) significando saberes docentes

The theory contemporary in the field of early children education, as well the legal discourse and official texts valid in our country point to the need for systematization of proposals pedagogic / curriculum in institutions, built and carried out by subjects that act as factor of assurance care quality. Quest us about what knowledge are required to teachers in developing a proposed curriculum for children education. Defined as an object of study, the knowledge teachers necessary for the development of a proposed curriculum for children education. As goals, assume: investigate teachers knowledge necessary for the development of a proposed curriculum in a Public Institution for children education and contribute to the (new) meaning on the part of teachers, knowledge needed to build a proposed curriculum for children education. Assuming the principles of the paradigm of qualitative research, we have developed a research institution of a children education Network Public Hall of Ceará-Mirim-RN, which serves children of four and five years old (preschool) with the participation of 17 teachers and two supervisory (teachers) that institution - subject of our research. Therefore, we have adopted the principles of action research, according to which the knowledge gained through research should build so shared / dialogue in the relationship between researcher and participants, what is the implementation of an effective action formative. As the search procedures developed observations no-teaching participants in the meetings and activities of the classroom; semi-structured interviews (individual and collective) with teachers and supervisors; analysis of school documents and participant observation in the seminars of studies reflective. The latter is implemented as key moments of speech and thought, and finally to (new) meaning of knowledge, the subject of the research-action. For these knowledge, the systematization of the register built was developed based on the principles of analysis of Content that guided us to the definition of two categories 1) knowledge teachers concerning conceptions of curriculum / proposed curriculum and 2) knowledge teachers concerning specifics of children education. From these were built subs representing thematings more specific and significant, among the many that emerged in the analysis: 1.1) Definitions of curriculum and curriculum proposal; 1.2) The subjects makers / implementing a curriculum / proposed curriculum; 1.3) elements constituting a curriculum / proposed curriculum for children education and 2.1) Functions of children education and conception of child; 2.2) The space of the play in the organization of routine. Under the intervention could significant advances with regard to (new) meaning of such knowledge from the subjects, with major disruptions to their original designs. These are presented and reflected in this work. In front of this movement, transformation, made the need for a permanent work in the context of the institution of in-service training, or mediated by pedagogical coordinator or other to assume this role with teachers, in order to provide the development and effectiveness of proposed curriculum consistent and contextualized in practice effective with the children concrete envisage the service to their specificities and a quality education

Revelações e contradições entre concepção e gestão do currículo em um curso técnico no IFRN, na modalidade de educação de jovens e adultos

This dissertation reports the results of a research which has aimed to analyze the senses attributed to the curriculum by the students of the Technical Course of Computation Maintenance and Support, organized through the Programme of Integration of the the Professional Education with the Basic Education in the Youngster and Adult Education Modality (PROEJA), at Instituto Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN), Campus Santa Cruz. It has been sought to know who the students are and to investigate their curriculum conceptions, on which the this investigation has been based on. Thus, those senses attributed by the students on their narratives have been compared to the official proposed curriculum for the Programme and to the curriculum implemented by IFRN. The current research follows the qualitative approach being led by a study case and life stories methods. In order to effective that approach, two data collecting instruments have been developed: questionnaires and semi structured interviews. The collected data has been complemented by the legal and institutional documents analysis. This study is derived from the presupposition that PROEJA s students, although are able to access school after the educational system restructuration, are still facing difficulties during their courses because of the excluding and traditional curriculum, decontextualized with their personal and work life, that is, without curriculum integration. This study has accomplished PROEJA s students characterization presenting important data for the integrated curriculum construction at IFRN and revealing that the students consider the Programme as inclusive. Nevertheless, the practices concerned to the democratic construction of the curriculum and its dialogical action indicate partial inclusion, considering that, in order to include those students indeed, it would be necessary to include them to the institutional and academic context. Contradictory situations have been detected on the course pedagogical project, considered traditional and decontextualized, especially regarding to methodological aspects. The research also allowed to increase PROEJA s investigation field as well as to contribute with a better implementation of the Programme as curricular proposal bonded to Basic and Professional Education in the Youngster and Adult Modality Education Modality

International Recommendations for Training Future Toxicologic Pathologists Participating in Regulatory-Type, Nonclinical Toxicity Studies

The International Federation of Societies of Toxicologic Pathologists (IFSTP) proposes a common global framework for training future toxicologic pathologists who will support regulatory-type nonclinical toxicology studies. Trainees optimally should undertake a scientific curriculum of at least 5 years at an accredited institution leading to a clinical degree (veterinary medicine or medicine). Trainees should then obtain 4 or more years of intensive pathology practice during a residency and/or on-the-job "apprenticeship," at least 2 years of which must be focused on regulatory-type toxicologic pathology topics. Possession of a recognized pathology qualification (i.e., certification) is highly recommended. A non-clinical pathway (e.g., a graduate degree in medical biology or pathology) may be possible if medically trained pathologists are scarce, but this option is not optimal. Regular, lifelong continuing education (peer review of nonclinical studies, professional meetings, reading, short courses) will be necessary to maintain and enhance one's understanding of current toxicologic pathology knowledge, skills, and tools. This framework should provide a rigorous yet flexible way to reliably train future toxicologic pathologists to generate, interpret, integrate, and communicate data in regulatory-type, nonclinical toxicology studies.
