Integrated Decentralized Training for Health Professions Education at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: Protocol for the I-DecT Project (Preprint)
Authors: Govender Pragashnie , Chetty Verusia , Naidoo Deshini , Pefile Ntsikelelo
Published: April 2017

BACKGROUND

The Integrated Decentralized Training (i-DecT) project was created to address the current need for health care in South Africa among resource poor climates in rural and periurban settings. The University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) in South Africa has embarked on a program within the School of Health Sciences (SHS) to decentralize the clinical learning platform in order to address this disparity. Framed in a pragmatic stance, this proposal is geared towards informing the roll out of decentralized clinical training (DCT) within the province of KwaZulu-Natal. There currently remains uncertainty as to how the implementation of this program will unfold, especially for the diverse SHS, which includes specialities like audiology, dentistry, occupational therapy, optometry, pharmacy, physiotherapy, speech-language pathology, and sport science. Consequently, there is a need to carefully monitor and manage this DCT in order to ensure that the participating students have a positive learning experience and achieve expected academic outcomes, and that the needs of the communities are addressed adequately.

OBJECTIVE

The study aims to explore the factors that will influence the roll-out of the DCT by developing an inclusive and context-specific model that will adhere to the standards set by the SHS for the DCT program at UKZN.

METHODS

Key role players, including but not limited to, the South African Ministry of Health policy makers, clinicians, policy makers at UKZN, clinical educators, academicians, and students of UKZN within the SHS will participate in this project. Once the infrastructural, staffing and pedagogical enablers and challenges are identified, together with a review of existing models of decentralized training, a context-specific model for DCTl will be proposed based on initial pilot data that will be tested within iterative cycles in an Action Learning Action Research (ALAR) process.

RESULTS

The study was designed to fit within the existing structures, and emerging framework and memorandum of understanding between the partners of this initiative, namely, the Ministry of Health and UKZN in order to develop health care professionals that are competent and prepared for the changing dynamics of healthcare in a developing world.

CONCLUSIONS

It is envisioned that this study, the first to include a combination of health professionals in a DCT platform at UKZN, will not only contribute to effective service delivery, but may also serve to promote an interprofessional cooperation within the SHS and tertiary institutions in similar settings.
Facilitating Factors and Barriers to the Use of Emerging Technologies for Suicide Prevention in Europe: Multicountry Exploratory Study (Preprint)
Authors: Muñoz-Sánchez Juan-Luis , Delgado Carmen , Sánchez-Prada Andrés , Parra-Vidales Esther , de Leo Diego , Franco-Martín Manuel
Published: April 2017

BACKGROUND

This study provides an analysis on the use of emerging technologies for the prevention of suicide in 8 different European countries.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to analyze the potentiality of using emerging technologies in the area of suicide prevention based on the opinion of different professionals involved in suicide prevention.

METHODS

Opinions of 3 groups of stakeholders (ie, relevant professionals in suicide field) were gathered using a specifically designed questionnaire to explore dimensions underlying perceptions of facilitating factors and barriers in relation to the use of emerging technologies for suicide prevention.

RESULTS

Goal 1 involved facilitating factors for the use of emerging technologies in suicide prevention. Northern European countries, except for Belgium, attach greater relevance to those that optimize implementation and benefits. On the other hand, Southern European countries attach greater importance to professionally oriented and user-centered facilitating factors. According to different stakeholders, the analysis of these facilitating factors suggest that professionals in the field of social work attach greater relevance to those that optimize implementation and benefits. However, professionals involved in the area of mental health, policy makers, and political decision makers give greater importance to professionally oriented and user-centered facilitating factors. Goal 2 was related to barriers to the usability of emerging technologies for suicide prevention. Both countries and stakeholders attach greater importance to barriers associated with resource constraints than to those centered on personal limitations. There are no differences between countries or between stakeholders. Nevertheless, there is a certain stakeholders-countries interaction that indicates that the opinions on resource constraints expressed by different stakeholders do not follow a uniform pattern in different countries, but they differ depending on the country.

CONCLUSIONS

Although all countries and stakeholders agree in identifying resource constraints as the main barrier to the use of emerging technologies, factors facilitating their use in suicide prevention differ among countries and among stakeholders.
Healthcare Provider Perspectives regarding the Role of mHealth in increasing Access to, and Awareness and Use of Sexually Transmissible Infection Services by Women in Bangladesh (Preprint)
Authors: Jahangir Yamin Tauseef , Liamputtong Pranee , Arora Amit , Nabi Mohammad Hayatun , Chowdhury Mohammad Samiur Rahman , Ahsan Gias Uddin , Meyer Samantha B
Published: April 2017

BACKGROUND

Although 61% of married women in Bangladesh use contraceptive methods, the prevalence of contraceptive use is lower in rural areas than in urban areas. This has implications for rates of Sexually Transmissible Infections (STIs). Cases of STIs are under-reported in Bangladesh and consequently, the awareness level, knowledge of, and use of services to minimize and prevent STI transmission among women is low. Mobile health (mHealth) services present an emerging platform for increasing the awareness and use of STI services for women at risk.

OBJECTIVE

To explore medical doctors’ perceptions of mHealth services for imporving awareness, use of, and access to STI health services for Bangladeshi women.

METHODS

22 interviews were conducted with medical doctors in a private mHealth service delivery organization. Interview data was analysed through inductive content analysis.

RESULTS

Participants perceived mHealth as increasing awareness of STI health information, as well as the use of STI services by women. Participants also noted facilitators of service use, including the minimal cost to the use of services, as well as the timeliness and ease of accessibility of the service.

CONCLUSIONS

mHealth services are beneficial for increasing the aceces too, and awareness and and use STI services by Bangledeshi women. Within the existing cultural context, our data suggest that mHealth provide a means for women to have greater agency in their sexual health. The data suggest a need to expand mHealth services for improving prevention and management of STIs in Bangledeshi women.

Authors: Robbins Rebecca , Krebs Paul , Jagannathan Ram , Jean-Louis Girardin , Duncan Dustin T
Published: April 2017

BACKGROUND

Mobile apps hold promise for serving as a lifestyle intervention in public health to promote wellness and attenuate chronic conditions, yet little is known about how individuals with chronic illness use or perceive mobile apps.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to explore behaviors and perceptions about mobile phone–based apps for health among individuals with chronic conditions.

METHODS

Data were collected from a national cross-sectional survey of 1604 mobile phone users in the United States that assessed mHealth use, beliefs, and preferences. This study examined health app use, reason for download, and perceived efficacy by chronic condition.

RESULTS

Among participants, having between 1 and 5 apps was reported by 38.9% (314/807) of respondents without a condition and by 6.6% (24/364) of respondents with hypertension. Use of health apps was reported 2 times or more per day by 21.3% (172/807) of respondents without a condition, 2.7% (10/364) with hypertension, 13.1% (26/198) with obesity, 12.3% (20/163) with diabetes, 12.0% (32/267) with depression, and 16.6% (53/319) with high cholesterol. Results of the logistic regression did not indicate a significant difference in health app download between individuals with and without chronic conditions (P>.05). Compared with individuals with poor health, health app download was more likely among those with self-reported very good health (odds ratio [OR] 3.80, 95% CI 2.38-6.09, P<.001) and excellent health (OR 4.77, 95% CI 2.70-8.42, P<.001). Similarly, compared with individuals who report never or rarely engaging in physical activity, health app download was more likely among those who report exercise 1 day per week (OR 2.47, 95% CI 1.6-3.83, P<.001), 2 days per week (OR 4.77, 95% CI 3.27-6.94, P<.001), 3 to 4 days per week (OR 5.00, 95% CI 3.52-7.10, P<.001), and 5 to 7 days per week (OR 4.64, 95% CI 3.11-6.92, P<.001). All logistic regression results controlled for age, sex, and race or ethnicity.

CONCLUSIONS

Results from this study suggest that individuals with poor self-reported health and low rates of physical activity, arguably those who stand to benefit most from health apps, were least likely to report download and use these health tools.
A Case Study of Knowledge Exchange in a Hierarchical Mechanism
Authors: Handoko Indria
Published: April 2017

This research investigates knowledge exchange in an organization applying hierarchical mechanisms, and the influence of social interactions on knowledge flow across different levels of analysis. The research uses a qualitative case study method of an Indonesian automotive component-making company, applying semi-structured interviews, observations, and focus groups at interorganizational, internal company, and shop floor levels. The research main finding is that in an organization applying hierarchical mechanisms, social interactions that exist at one level are able to influence interactions at other levels, and that the interactions can both facilitate and inhibit knowledge exchange across levels and boundaries. The application of any formal mechanism at interorganizational level needs to consider both the dynamics operating at social level and the potentially disparate and contradictory effects it may have if its aim is to promote knowledge flow across levels. The application of in-depth exploratory case study research contributes to the conceptualization of relationships between knowledge exchange, social interactions, and governance mechanism.

Published: April 2017

The entry of small businesses into international markets has intensified. However, despite the growing presence of small businesses in international markets, studies into their international behavior, particularly regarding the effect of international relationships on international outcomes, remain limited. This study investigates the cross-border relationships of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by examining the effects of the dimensions of the key relationship on the competitive advantage and performance of SMEs in export markets. These dimensions include trust and commitment. Results indicate that trust is significantly related to commitment and export performance. Commitment is positively related to competitive advantage but not to export performance. Trust affects competitive advantage through commitment. The effect of commitment on export performance is mediated by competitive advantage. The methodology and results are presented. The conclusion, implications, and limitations of this study are also discussed.

Authors: Hidayat Chusnul , Darmasiwi Sari , Nurikasari Maulina , Cahyanto Muhammad Nur
Published: April 2017

Jatropha curcas seed cake contains a high amount of protein, and consequently has very high potentialas a medium for lipase production. The objective of this research was to characterize lipase from Aspergillusniger 6516, which was produced by solid-state fermentation on Jatropha curcas seed cake as the medium. The effects of pH and temperature on enzyme activity were evaluated, along with substrate specifcity and enzyme stability. Fermentation was performed at a water concentration of 63% and temperature of 30 °C for 7 days. The results showed that the optimum pH and temperature for Aspergillus niger 6516 lipase activities were 8.0 and 40 °C, respectively. The lipase had the substrate specifcity to hydrolyze long-chain fatty acids and was stable in polar organic solvents. The lipase had a molecular weight, Km and vmax about 19 kDa, 0.27 µmol/ml, and 52.63 µmol/ml/min, respectively. The results also suggested that the produced lipase from Aspergillus niger 6516 was an alkaline lipase. Based on these results, we conclude that Jatropha seed cake is a suitable medium for lipase production.

Authors: Silva Maurício Corrêa da , Silva José Dionísio Gomes da
Published: April 2017

O objetivo desta pesquisa é avaliar o desempenho dos gestores públicos municipais na alocação dos recursos financeiros por meio da execução orçamentária da despesa em funções sociais de governo com métrica de gestão por índice. O método utilizado foi o empírico-analítico. O aspecto temporal para a análise de dados abrangeu o período de treze exercícios financeiros (2002 a 2014) com o critério de avaliação da eficiência alocativa. Os resultados revelaram, com base no Índice de Desempenho de Funções Sociais (IDFS), que os municípios de Santos (SP) e São Bernardo do Campo (SP) ficaram nas primeiras posições (melhores desempenhos nas 9 funções de governo consideradas como sociais) e nas últimas posições (menos eficientes), ficaram os municípios de Feira de Santana (BA), Carapicuíba (SP), Aparecida de Goiânia (GO), São Gonçalo (RJ) e Belém (PA). Com base na métrica utilizada, verificou-se que maiores gastos na execução da despesa por funções de governo não significa o melhor desempenho. O melhor desempenho (mais eficiente) está relacionado com a aplicação diversificada de recursos nas diversas funções de governo (variáveis) e nas funções que são mais importantes no contexto do componente que integra o índice a partir dos componentes principais extraídos.

Irán y Siria, una política exterior cambiante. Análisis comparado de sus vinculantes internos y sus regiones de influencia
Authors: Guerrero Turbay Marcela , Jaramillo Jassir Mauricio
Published: April 2017

En los últimos años se han presentado cambios en la política exterior de Siria e Irán que muestran la forma como sus objetivos distan de ser inmutables. Comúnmente se las ha asociado y en algunos círculos se habla de una alianza. No obstante, el siguiente artículo pretende mostrar que aunque existe una convergencia en una serie de temas, sus prioridades en política exterior los alejan. Para ello, el texto se divide en dos partes: en primer lugar, se comparan los vinculantes internos que condicionan la política exterior en cada Estado y en segundo lugar, se contrasta la proyección regional (¿y global?) de las dos naciones. A lo largo del documento, la noción de estudio comparativo de la política exterior de James Rosenau será tomada como referente.
De la subordinación a la hegemonía. Sobre la legitimación epistemológica de las matemáticas en la filosofía natural en el siglo XVII
Authors: Ochoa Felipe
Published: April 2017

Este artículo analiza la legitimación epistemológica de las matemáticas en la filosofía natural en el siglo XVII. En el Renacimiento se alegó que las matemáticasno cumplían con los criterios aristotélicos de cientificidad, ya que no explicaban las causas eficientes y finales. Así, sus críticos inspirados en la tradición aristotélica rechazaron los primeros intentos de matematizar la filosofía natural. Se examinan las condiciones epistemológicas implicadas en el debate sobre la cientificidad de las matemáticas y su pertinencia para la filosofía natural. Se hace un recorrido historiográfico de la matematización de la naturaleza para ofrecer nuevos elementos de ponderación respecto a una caracterización históricamente más contextual y filosóficamente más conceptual del surgimiento de la ciencia moderna.

Magna natura et magna quaestio est (Hipona De, trad. 1968, 14, 4, 6), puesto que ocupará durante toda su vida el pensamiento y las obras del santo obispo. Buscar su propia alma, adentrarse en su santuario, descubrir la imagen de Dios en ella, su bondad, su grandeza, su vida… para volverla luego a Dios, su origen y meta de todos sus esfuerzos. Tal es el itinerario que nos traza el filósofo de Thagaste, sediento de verdad, que acabará volcado en la fuente que sacia, la misma Verdad.
The Effect of Input and Output Targets for Routine Tasks on Creative Task Performance
Authors: Brüggen Alexander , Feichter Christoph , Williamson Michael G.
Published: April 2017

In an environment where employees have the freedom to direct some time away from their day-to-day routine tasks to work on creative endeavors, we examine whether nonbinding targets for the amount of time to spend (input target) and/or the amount of output to produce (output target) on the routine task affects creative task performance. Results of a laboratory experiment demonstrate that providing both an input and an output target on the routine task leads to greater creative task performance relative to providing one or none of these targets. This result is consistent with theory suggesting that individuals need guidance as to how much routine work to complete in order to achieve the cognitive closure necessary for them to think creatively. However, individuals also need guidance that encourages them to limit time on their relatively comfortable routine work and spend time on more open-ended creative endeavors. By setting expectations as to what employees need to achieve on their more routine day-to-day responsibilities, organizations can increase the efficacy of the growing practice of allowing employees to spend a portion of their work week on creative endeavors.

Published: April 2017

Saprolegniasis was a primary fungal disease that attacks fish eggs and fish. This disease was caused by Saprolegnia sp. The infections of Saprolegnia sp. in fish eggs can be minimized with dip treatment in formalin solution. This esearch was the control of saprolegniasis on red nila eggs (Oreochromis sp.) with formalin. This research used 400 red nila eggs. It was dipped suspension of Saprolegnia sp. (OD550 = 0,5) for 36 jam. The treatment was divided into four groups. Each group used 10 replication and each treatment with 10 eggs. The eggs in group 1 as control were not treated. The egg in-group 2, 3, and 4 were dipped formalin for five minute. The concentration of formalin in-group 2, 3, and 4 were 4 ml/L, 5 ml/L, and 6 ml/L. These data was taken after the treatment and the investigating parameter was the mean percentage of totally eggs that not infected by Saprolegnia sp. These data was analyzed by ANAVA and LSD at α = 5 percent. The results of this experiment showed that the increasing of formalin concentrations at each treatment caused significantly decreasing at the growth of Saprolegnia sp. on the red nila fish eggs. The control (1) group was not decreasing of the growth of Saprolegnia sp. The growth of Saprolegnia sp. in-group 2 decreased until 82 percent. The growth of Saprolegnia sp. in-group 3 decreased until 92 percent. The growth of Saprolegnia sp. in-group 4 decreased until 96 percent.

The use of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) from bovine brain has been studied to obtain basic knowledge and diagnosis and prediction of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients. The importance of GAD65 in DM diagnosis based on its patogenesis. One of the autoimmune marker that can be used to detect beta-pancreas destruction in Diabetes Type I is the antibody to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65). Most of the pre-diabetic patients indicate the reactive autoantibody to GAD65. For early detection of anti-GAD65 in the serum of the patient, human recombinat GAD65 has been succeed to be used. However this is not economical, therefore, it is necessary to find the alternative source of cheaper GAD65. The aim of this research is to develop an early detection kit of Type 1 DM based on antibody-GAD65, since the longest patient suffering from DM has higher probability to be complicated, especially for uncured patients. The anti- GAD65 antibodies induced by anti-GAD65 synthetized and labelled by alkaline phosphatase can be used as reagent detection early DM patients. The ten patients of DM as samples (positive of anti-GAD65) and five rats of DM were positive with western blott technique using reagents as result of this research. It can be concluded, GAD65 enzyme isolated from bovine brain induced anti-GAD65 production and have possibilities to be packaged in a diagnostic kit for patient pre DM.

Published: April 2017

Un conflicto bélico supone pérdidas y cambios. El Verde Urbano, como uno de los bienes más preciados en una ciudad, casi siempre es muy afectado en una contienda. El propósito de esta investigación fue analizar la repercusión que tuvieron las guerras en la historia del Verde Urbano de la ciudad en la primera mitad del siglo XX. El trabajo se realizó estudiando el caso puntual de la ciudad de Tarija, Bolivia, aplicando la metodología de análisis histórico-lógico, recolectando datos de bibliotecas, archivos europeos y latinoamericanos, y contemplando los marcos: histórico, legislativo, planes y proyectos.Para la ejecución de la investigación se diseñaron cuatro fases: recopilación y análisis de la información referente a la evolución y el tratamiento del Verde Urbano en ciudades sostenibles del mundo;  recopilación y análisis de la información referente a las Guerras del Pacífico y la del Chaco, y la gestión de las superficies verdes urbanas de la ciudad de Tarija; contraposición e interpretación integral, analítica, sistémica y holística de la relevancia de la información recopilada en la fase uno en relación a la fase dos; y por último, diagnóstico y evaluación del grado de impacto que tuvieron las guerras sufridas en la historia del Verde Urbano de la ciudad. Los resultados indicaron que en las últimas décadas del siglo XIX y las cinco primeras décadas del siglo XX, se produjeron las pérdidas más significativas de superficies naturalizadas en la ciudad de Tarija. Se discute el hecho de que no se pudo resarcir el daño al Verde Urbano hasta la actualidad y la implicación que éstos indicadores puedan tener en un futuro próximo para la naturalización de la ciudad.

A pesquisa descrita neste artigo, de caráter qualitativo, tem como temática central a Educação Financeira. O objetivo nele proposto é o de investigar se a aplicação de um Curso de Serviço de Matemática Financeira, para estudantes do Ensino Superior, de um curso de Administração, que inclua em seu bojo temas da Educação Financeira, pode despertar um espírito crítico, nas tomadas de decisões e posturas, destes futuros administradores inseridos numa sociedade de consumo. Nos inspiramos teoricamente nas ideias da Educação Matemática Crítica, nas pesquisas em Educação Financeira de Kistemann Jr. (2011), sobre a produção de significados e as tomada de decisão de indivíduos-consumidores. Foi utilizado o Estudo de Caso como metodologia de pesquisa qualitativa, embasado nos trabalhos de Ponte e de Yin, que validaram as análises dos perfis dos sujeitos de pesquisa e das respostas encontradas nas atividades desenvolvidas. The research described in this article, of a qualitative nature, has as its central theme the Financial Education. The goal of this study was to investigate whether the application for a course of service of Financial Mathematics, with themes of financial education for students in higher education from a course of the Administration, could awaken a critical spirit, in decision making, these future administrators. Our theoretical inspirations are the ideas of Mathematics Education criticism, in research on Financial Education of Kistemann Jr. (2011), Costa (2012), Hermínio (2008), Campos (2013), Barroso (2013), Resende (2013) and Teixeira (2015). We used the Case Study as a qualitative research methodology, based on the work of Ponte and Yin, which validated the analyses of the profiles of the study subjects and the responses found in the activities undertaken. As the main result of this research highlights the educational product "the insertion of financial education in a course of service of Financial Mathematics, for students of a course in Administration" which had as main objective to propose an alternative to the teaching and learning of mathematical finance in higher education, with the presentation of scenarios for research, with themes concerning the consumption and use of financial instruments

O objetivo desse artigo constitui-se em investigar princípios para a organização do ensino na Educação Infantil, em especial o de matemática. Para isso, sistematizamos uma proposta de trabalho com ênfase no processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos conceitos matemáticos, por meio de jogos, compreendendo o desenvolvimento do jogo no período pré-escolar de acordo com os pressupostos da Teoria Histórico-Cultural. Considerando esses pressupostos teórico-metodológicos, desenvolvemos as ações teórico-práticas na elaboração do jogo intitulado “Desafio dos ovos”, com o intuito de articular os princípios da organização do ensino com os da Teoria Histórico-Cultural e da Atividade Orientadora de Ensino. The principles implied in the organization of teaching in Infant Education, especially Mathematics, are investigated. For this, a working proposal underscoring the teaching and learning processes of Math concepts is systematized from the above idea, or rather, games may be developed at kindergarten’s level foregrounded on the Historical and Cultural Theory. Based on the theoretical-methodological presuppositions, some theoretical and practical activities are developed for the game called ‘The Challenge of the Eggs’, to fit the principles of the teaching organization with those of the Historical and Cultural Theory and the Teaching Guiding Activity.
Classificação na Educação Infantil: discutindo propostas, concepções e práticas
 Rank in Early Childhood Education: discussing proposals, concepts and practices

O estudo investiga como a Classificação vem sendo tratada na Educação Infantil. Em particular, as atividades propostas em livros didáticos e a atuação de docentes em sala de aula. Esta pesquisa contemplou: análise de livros didáticos de Matemática, observação de sala de aula e realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com professoras desta etapa de ensino. De modo geral, tanto nos livros didáticos quanto nas propostas em sala de aula, as atividades apresentam-se como contexto fecundo para se explorar aspectos numéricos, geométricos e lógicos, com a predominância de atividades que previam o agrupamento de objetos que possuíam uma propriedade comum ou mesmo atributo. Na preocupação em tornar o conhecimento acessível e com significado para a criança, se perdeu em algumas atividades a clareza conceitual.The study investigates how the Classification has been treated in kindergarten. In particular, the activities proposed in textbooks and the role of teachers in the classroom. This research included: analysis of textbooks of Mathematics, classroom observation and carrying out semi-structured interviews with teachers of this educational stage. In general, both in textbooks as the proposals in the classroom, the activities are presented as fruitful context for exploring numerical, geometric and logical aspects, with the predominance of activities that provide for grouping of objects that had a common property or even attribute. The aim of making it accessible and meaningful to the child's knowledge, was lost in some activities the conceptual clarity.

Um caso de ensino sobre o sistema de numeração decimal como meio de identificação e formação de saberes de futuros professores de Matemática
Authors: Oliveira Raquel Gomes de
Published: April 2017

Este artigo é sobre uma pesquisa qualitativa interpretativa que analisou a utilização de um caso de ensino como meio de identificação e de elaboração de saberes docentes de licenciandos de Licenciatura em Matemática de uma universidade pública do interior de São Paulo. O caso de ensino versava sobre o Sistema de Numeração Decimal (SND) e oportunizou aos licenciandos a vivência do processo de diagnóstico, de compreensão de dificuldades e de avaliação em situações didático-pedagógicas. A análise dos resultados evidenciou que a clareza dos licenciandos quanto às características do SND, em termos de agrupamento e posicionalidade, mostra-se pertinente para a elaboração de saberes docentes referentes à compreensão da natureza e da origem dos erros cometidos pelos alunos do caso de ensino. Igualmente essa clareza permitiu realizar questões e ações relacionadas à prática pedagógica. Os resultados indicam que saberes docentes podem ser desenvolvidos a partir da qualidade da relação entre o saber do licenciando e o saber apresentado pelos alunos no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Concluiu-se que as simulações didático-pedagógicas vivenciadas em um caso de ensino podem ser entendidas como meio de desenvolvimento de saberes docentes na formação inicial de professores.Palavras-chave: Caso de Ensino.

Etnomatemática: uma aproximação com o trabalho como princípio educativo
Authors: Costa Claudio Fernandes da
Published: April 2017

Este texto tem como objetivo aprofundar estudos sobre a centralidade do trabalho, como princípio educativo, a partir da perspectiva ontológica, materialista e dialética, em Marx, e relacioná-lo/aproximá-lo com a Etnomatemática como concebida por Ubiratan D`Ambrosio. Neste sentido, buscamos identificar aspectos ontológicos na/da formulação Etnomatemática d`ambrosiana que contribuem para a referida aproximação, bem como vislumbrar o seu potencial político-pedagógico. Por outro lado, examinamos o fato de que, embora não seja descartado, o princípio educativo do trabalho não é central na prática e na pesquisa em Etnomatemática, inspirada no Programa lakatosiano. Para atingir tais objetivos, além dos dois autores principais, nos apoiamos, ainda, em Barata-Moura (2008), Duayer (2010, 2015), Ferreira (2007), Frigotto (2005, 2015), e Miarka (2011). Os resultados e conclusões parciais deste trabalho teórico apontam, por um lado, a sintonia e relevância teórico-pedagógica da referida aproximação, para pesquisas e práticas que tomam como base a ontologia da Etnomatemática d’ambrosiana. Por outro lado, indicam uma “diferença substantiva” entre a “dinâmica” e o relativismo do Programa de Pesquisa lakatosiano e o Programa Etnomatemática d`ambrosiano, razão pela qual entendemos que a prática e a pesquisa em Etnomatemática, embora admitam o trabalho, não identificam nem se relacionam com a relevância ontológica desta categoria.Palavras-chave: Programa Etnomatemática.
