Modelo de tomada de decisão para política industrial de nacionalização de equipamentos de geração heliotérmica
Authors: Martins Vanderlei Affonso , Weiss Mariana , Soria Rafael , Porciúncula Caio , Bicudo Ricardo , Cunha Paulo , Gonçalves Felipe
Published: July 2024

A indústria heliotérmica no Brasil ainda não está consolidada e para tanto é necessário avaliar os principais componentes que podem ser nacionalizados. No entanto existem diversos fatores que influenciam a escolha destes componentes que precisam de uma metodologia específica para sua avaliação. Optou-se pelo Método AHP de Auxílio Multicritério a Decisão, no qual foi estabelecida uma estrutura hierárquica de critérios necessários para a definição dos componentes mais importantes que podem ser produzidos nacionalmente. A estrutura criada e os resultados potenciais que serão obtidos a partir do questionário podem ser base para o desenvolvimento de políticas de incentivo industrial.

A limpeza e desinfecção constituem importantes medidas de biosseguridade adotadas em um ciclo de produção, visando manter baixa a concentrações de agentes patogênicos, reduzindo a probabilidade de infecções. Porém as bactérias podem adquirir resistência aos desinfetantes utilizados para este fim. A própolis, produto natural produzida por abelhas a partir de plantas, possui ação antimicrobiana comprovada, mas são raros os estudos utilizando-a como desinfetante. Neste estudo, um extrato etanólico de própolis verde (EEPV) foi avaliado, em comparação a um desinfetante comercial à base de amônia quaternária, quanto à capacidade desinfetante in situ em bebedouros utilizados para frangos de corte até 28 dias de idade das aves. O EEPV também foi avaliado, in vitro, contra as bactérias isoladas a partir de suabes dos bebedouros utilizados no experimento. Houve um aumento no número de UFC/ml de mesófilos totais e diminuição no número de UFC/ml de bolores totais presentes nos bebedouros à medida que as aves atingiram 28 dias de idade. Aos 28 dias de idade dos frangos, quando o desafio microbiano foi maior, a ação do EEPV como desinfetante foi semelhante à ação do desinfetante comercial a base de amônia quaternária. Nesta mesma idade das aves, o EEPV, assim como o desinfetante comercial, inibiu por completo o crescimento fúngico nos bebedouros.
Os aportes atuariais e a lei de responsabilidade fiscal: uma análise dos municípios de Curitiba e Região Metropolitana no período de 2015 a 2023
Authors: Heinrichs Karl Horst , Guimarães Inácio Andruski
Published: July 2024

Os Regimes Próprios de Previdência Social têm apresentado resultados negativos ao longo dos anos. A alíquota patronal é uma das principais fontes de financiamento dos fundos de previdência, e seu aumento pode elevar o índice de despesas de pessoal dos municípios que optarem por implantar essa medida. Este estudo analisou a evolução dos resultados atuariais dos RPPS com pior desempenho considerando a cidade de Curitiba e região metropolitana, evidenciando que a grande maioria dos municípios não buscou atenuar os resultados previdenciários negativos com a majoração da alíquota patronal. Por outro lado, a manutenção da alíquota patronal nos mesmos patamares, tendo em contrapartida o aumento no volume de aportes atuariais, poderia representar uma burla à Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal. Os resultados apontaram que tal ocorrência não foi observada, porém, ao se aplicar as recomendações constantes de avaliações atuariais, se constata a burla à LRF, bem como o subfinanciamento dos RPPS.

Analisar a tendência temporal da obesidade em adultos usuários da Atenção Primaria à Saúde (APS) do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), no período 2008 a 2023. Estudo ecológico de séries temporais, com dados do Sisvan Web; a variação média anual (vma) foi estimada pelo método de regressão de Prais-Winsten. No período em estudo aumentaram as percentagens da obesidade no Brasil e em todas as UF. As vma revelam tendência de aumento, estatisticamente significativa, das percentagens da obesidade; vma maiores à média global (1,323/ano), observou-se entre as UF de Alagoas (1,505/ano), Ceará (1,519/ano), Pernambuco (1,379/ano), Rio Grande do Norte (1,506/ano) e Sergipe (1,443/ano) da região Nordeste e Goiás (1,343/ano) da região Centro-Oeste. Tal cenário requer, além da ação conjunta dos setores responsáveis, maior compromisso da população, para se tornarem mais ativas fisicamente, bem como a opção por alimentação mais saudável.
Refugiadas ambientais no Brasil: a vulnerabilidade de mulheres e meninas migrantes por uma perspectiva de gênero
Authors: Tourinho Luciano de Oliveira Souza , Sotero Ana Paula da Silva , Rodriguez Pedro Garrido
Published: July 2024

As dinâmicas migratórias contemporâneas têm ganhado destaque no cenário internacional diante da intensidade dos fluxos migratórios. Destaca-se, em especial, os deslocamentos forçados decorrentes de desastres ambientais, em que as alterações climáticas e a degradação ambiental têm provocado as mobilidades humanas por vulnerabilidade social. Desta feita, a pesquisa busca analisar a interpretação da extensão da condição de refugiado para atender aos deslocados ambientais, que se tornam reféns dos desastres a partir do reconhecimento do Direito Internacional das Catástrofes. No que se refere ao grupo de vulneráveis ambientais, observa-se que a discriminação de gênero afeta, de forma direta, no acesso desigual às políticas migratórias, em um contexto de vulnerabilidade de mulheres e meninas. Nesse desiderato, o presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar a incidência da discriminação de gênero contra as refugiadas ambientais no Brasil, a partir da experiência dos fluxos migratórios ambientais advindos do Haiti. Tal pesquisa se justifica na importância de evidenciar que as práticas discriminatórias de gênero contra meninas e mulheres refugiadas são abalizadas pelo patriarcado e pelo machismo que operam nas sociedades contemporâneas. Sob esse viés, a pesquisa utilizou-se da metodologia bibliográfica e documental, para análise da vulnerabilidade e das práticas discriminatórias de gênero nos contextos migratórios, verificando-se os impactos desse fenômeno em mulheres e meninas refugiadas ambientais. Para tanto, foram utilizadas, as plataformas SCieLo, Google Acadêmico e Scopus, de artigos científicos publicados nas línguas portuguesa, nos últimos trinta anos, envolvendo as temáticas das migrações forçadas, refugiados ambientais e gênero na combinação dos descritores e operadores booleanos and/or.

Published: July 2024

O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi evidenciar as experiências de Programas de Educação para a Sustentabilidade (EpS) em nível internacional. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa-descritiva a partir de estudo bibliográfico, em que analisamos as experiências de escolas sustentáveis em diversos países, no que tange as ações socioambientais desenvolvidas; os desafios e, as contribuições das atividades implementadas no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Conhecer tais experiências, possibilita aos formuladores de políticas públicas educacionais identificar os fatores que podem potencializar a adequada implementação e desenvolvimento de Programas de EpS; aos professores, aprimorar as suas práticas pedagógicas e, propiciar situações relevantes de aprendizagem sobre questões socioambientais para os estudantes. Os resultados demonstram que a EpS pode contribuir para a superação da dicotomia sociedade-natureza, colaborando para o desenvolvimento de uma visão ambiental sistêmica e a construção de sociedades mais justas, equânimes e sustentáveis.
Novos contornos e desafios da liberdade de expressão no cenário digital
Authors: Castro Lucianna do Couto e Souza
Published: July 2024

O presente artigo oferece reflexões sobre as profundas transformações advindas da revolução tecnológica, especialmente o desenvolvimento da internet e das ferramentas de comunicação e informação. O objetivo é avaliar o cenário atual em que os direitos tradicionais protegidos pela Constituição, particularmente a liberdade de expressão, estão se desenvolvendo, e medir os desafios que surgem dessa nova realidade. Parte-se da premissa de que estamos testemunhando uma reinterpretação da liberdade de expressão conforme tradicionalmente entendida. O artigo busca definir a melhor abordagem para assegurar um equilíbrio adequado entre a expansão dos meios de interação entre as pessoas e os inevitáveis conflitos legais que surgem como resultado. Ao examinar essas dinâmicas, visa propor estratégias eficazes para navegar pelas complexidades desta era digital em evolução, mantendo os princípios constitucionais fundamentais.
Supremo Tribunal Federal e (in) segurança jurídica: breves considerações sobre a atuação da corte suprema, coisa julgada e estabilidade
Authors: Castro Lucianna do Couto e Souza
Published: July 2024

O presente ensaio se propõe a explorar os aspectos jurídicos sobre o impacto que a atuação cada vez mais crescente e protagonista do Supremo Tribunal Federal assume na ressignificação do Direito Constitucional. Parte-se da constatação que esta atuação se manifesta de maneira incisiva tanto no aspecto processual, com a criação de normas processuais constitucionais, quanto no aspecto material, ao reconfigurar a teoria das fontes do direito como guardião da Constituição. Ao longo desta análise, examina-se como essa influência, assim como a norma em si, frequentemente desafia a ideia de segurança jurídica, sugerindo fragilidades em nosso sistema de estabilidades. Utilizando uma metodologia dedutiva, baseada em revisão bibliográfica, doutrina, jurisprudência e legislação, o estudo busca evidenciar os indícios dessas transformações e suas consequências para o ordenamento jurídico nacional. Assim, através da análise crítica desses elementos, busca-se compreender o papel dinâmico e às vezes controverso do Supremo Tribunal Federal na moldagem do panorama constitucional brasileiro.

Incluir o homem com suas especificidades no planejamento das ações de saúde e de outras políticas transversais têm sido um dos desafios do Sistema Único de Saúde, provavelmente pela inexistência de estudos que demostrem o impacto das políticas estadual e nacional de saúde do homem. Objetivou-se avaliar a tendência e a correlação das taxas de internações masculinas, por grupo de Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária (CSAP), considerando a cobertura da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) e a implantação da Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde do Homem (PNAISH) nos municípios goianos. Trata-se de estudo ecológico analítico das internações masculinas na faixa etária de 20 a 59 anos, segundo grupo de CSAP no período de 2009 a 2018. Os dados foram extraídos do SIH/SUS e avaliados pela correlação de Spearman e pelo modelo univariado de regressão de Quase-Poisson. A PNAISH está implantada em 100% dos municípios. A cobertura ESF apresentou tendência significativa de aumento. Há correlação significativa e positiva entre a cobertura média da ESF e as taxas de internações (ICSAP) em geral. Os cinco grupos de ICSAP com maiores taxa de internação foram: Gastroenterites Infecciosas e complicações; Infecção no rim e trato urinário; Angina; Insuficiência cardíaca e Diabetes Melitus. Houve tendência de redução significativa do número total de ICSAP em geral. Apesar da ampliação da cobertura da ESF e implantação da PNAISH nos municípios goianos, não houve impacto na taxa de internações por CSAP na população do estudo.

Esta pesquisa consiste em uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com o objetivo de identificar quais os métodos não farmacológicos no tratamento da dor oncológica. Para este estudo, foi formulada a seguinte pergunta norteadora: "Quais os métodos não farmacológicos no tratamento da dor oncológica?". A elaboração da pergunta norteadora e a busca de evidências científicas utilizaram a estratégia PICO, que se desdobra em: P de paciente ou população; I de intervenção ou indicador; C de comparação ou controle; e O de outcome (resultado clínico, resposta ou efeito observado). Nesse contexto, várias técnicas são empregadas para aliviar o sofrimento físico e emocional. Entre elas, destaca-se a acupuntura, um tratamento milenar baseado na Medicina Tradicional Chinesa, que estimula pontos específicos do corpo para regular funções orgânicas. Evidências mostram que a acupuntura pode aliviar a dor em pacientes com câncer, oferecendo uma alternativa eficaz para o manejo desse sintoma. A utilização de métodos não farmacológicos no tratamento da dor oncológica tem se mostrado uma abordagem eficaz e complementar às terapias tradicionais. Estas intervenções, que incluem práticas como acupuntura, reiki, massagem terapêutica, fitoterapia e técnicas de relaxamento, oferecem benefícios significativos tanto no alívio da dor quanto na melhoria da qualidade de vida dos pacientes.
Crise econômica, habitação, emprego e pobreza: o aumento da população de rua no município de Curitiba
Authors: Paludo Augustinho Vicente , Duenhas Rogério Allon , Oliveira Antonio Gonçalves de
Published: July 2024

Face a crise econômica brasileira, as políticas sociais foram relegadas a segundo plano no período 2015-2022, e houve aumento da pobreza e da fome. A partir de 2019 coloca-se “a culpa” na Pandemia e na Guerra Rússia-Ucrânia; todavia, existe a corrupção, o abandono do planejamento, as altas taxas de juros, a vontade política.  A questão investigada é: como a crise econômica, a insuficiência de habitação popular e de empregos, impactam, como principais causas, o aumento da população de rua em Curitiba. O objetivo é evidenciar o impacto da crise econômica acerca desses temas. A pesquisa é qualitativa, aplicada e exploratória: houve levantamento bibliográfico e documental, pesquisa participante e entrevistas não estruturadas em campo. Conclui-se que, no período 2015-2022, as unidades de habitação popular construídas em Curitiba foram insignificantes, houve precarização do trabalho, redução do salário médio e aumento da pobreza e da população de rua; e 57% dos entrevistados residem nas ruas por falta de moradia ou emprego.
Students’ Attitude in Learning Geography at Secondary Level of Education
Authors: Banerjee Anindita , Samanta Swades Ranjan
Published: July 2024

Every child learns in his or her own way. Their intelligence, attitude, interest, and aptitude influence their learning process. Students’ positive or negative feelings towards any subject are essential for their academic achievement. The present study focused on students’ attitudes towards learning geography in the North 24 Parganas district, West Bengal. By adopting simple random sampling, 200 class IX students, including 100 boys and 100 girls, were included in the study. All the class IX students from the North 24 Parganas district composed the population of the study. The study used a descriptive research design followed by a survey. A validated ‘Attitude Scale’ with a five-point Likert scale was presented before the students for data collection. Four research objectives and one hypothesis were drawn for this study. The data were analysed by MS Excel. Means and standard deviations were applied for descriptive analysis, and t tests were used to verify H01 at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study showed that there was no significant difference in attitudes towards learning geography between girls and boys at the secondary level of education, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal.

Este estudio aporta valiosas recomendaciones para directivos y responsables de la toma de decisiones, orientadas a fortalecer la capacidad de respuesta y recuperación ante crisis futuras.
DREDGING IN THE ITAQUI PORT AREA, MARANHÃO - BRASIL: EFFECTS ON THE COMPOSITION AND ABUNDANCE OF ICHTHYOPLANKTON
Authors: Silveira Paula Cilene Alves da , Costa Delzenira Silva do Nascimento da , Eschrique Samara Aranha , Lima Leandro Mendes , Sodré Emanuelle Sousa
Published: July 2024

Assessments of the effects of dredging on biological resources show decreases in density and abundance of species as a result of dredging activity in port areas. Ichthyoplankton samples were taken before, during and after dredging at the Itaqui port complex west of the Golfão Maranhense. The trawls were drawn horizontally on the surface with a duration of 5 minutes. A plankton net of cone-cylindrical type was used, equipped with a flow meter. 677 fish larvae were collected, obtaining a total of 17 species. Significant effects of dredging were observed on species richness during the three stages. The species Anchoviella lepidentostole was dominant before dredging and its abundance reduced during the dredging, which is causing as consequence behavioral disturbance of these organisms. The Engraulidae family was dominant in this study and this may be a consequence of the greater resistance of their representatives to the changes in the environment caused by dredging. However, the results showed us that dredging activity influences the composition, density and abundance of these organisms.

Crossing Borders to Teach: A Literature Review of (dis)Location, Interconnectedness, and Pedagogy
Authors: Mizzi Robert
Published: July 2024

Using postfoundationalism as a theoretical guide, the author by way of a literature review examines the notion of (dis)location with educators who cross borders for work. The author uses sexuality, citizenship, and racial lenses to compare and analyze competing bodies of work that deal with crossing borders. After an analytical comparison is offered, the author highlights a gap in the literature when it comes to understanding transitions to a new country and to a new workplace. As reflected in the literature, the conclusion encourages institutions to become more proactive in their steps towards inclusion.

Les jeunes immigrants de 16-24 ans au Québec et le programme Français de transition en Formation générale des adultes à la Commission scolaire de Montréal
Authors: Potvin Maryse , Lavoie Jacques , Larochelle-Audet Julie , Hamel Christiane
Published: July 2024

Depuis quelques années, les jeunes de 16 à 24 ans issus de l’immigration sont en croissance dans les centres d’éducation des adultes (CEA) pour terminer leurs études secondaires en Formation générale des adultes (FGA), principalement dans la région montréalaise. Un certain nombre de ces apprenants arrive à la FGA directement des classes d’accueil du secteur de la Formation générale des jeunes (FGJ). Cet article présente le programme Français de transition (FDT), mis sur pied à la Commission scolaire de Montréal (CSDM) à partir des besoins documentés des jeunes de 16-24 ans issus de l‘immigration. L’article dresse un portrait des jeunes dans ce programme selon les perceptions de deux types d’acteurs : 1) une trentaine d’enseignants des secteurs de la FGJ et de la FGA ; 2) les jeunes du programme FDT eux-mêmes, rencontrées à six reprises en 2008-2009 au sein d’un « groupe de discussion », et qui font état de leur parcours migratoire, social et scolaire. L’article met en évidence la complémentarité des données recueillies auprès de ces deux catégories « d’acteurs ».
Telling Stories of Resistance and Change: Organizers of Film Festivals Contribute to Media Literacy
Authors: Roy Carole
Published: July 2024

Abstract: Different authors have recently written about the importance of collective learning. Cultural events, like documentary film festivals, provide important sites for collective learning. Organizers of such events are necessary catalysts that play different roles, from programming to fundraising and audience development to promotion and volunteer coordination. By their curatorial role, programmers in particular contribute to the educational nature of these events by presenting alternative information and often ignored stories which foster critical thinking, media literacy, and critical self-reflection. Information is key in a democratic society and when mass media occlude as much as they reveal, channels that present alternative perspectives play an important role in the development of criticality in citizens.
Policing the Educational Crisis: English Canadian National Newspaper Reports of the 2012 Quebec Tuition Protests
Authors: McGray Robert
Published: July 2024

Utilizing a Critical Discourse Analysis, this research examines the coverage of the 2012 Quebec Tuition Protests by Canada’s two national English language newspapers. The goal was to uncover what relationships were formed and constituted by media when representing people challenging neoliberal assumptions of payment for continuing education. The result, I argue, is similar to the conclusions of Stuart Hall et al. about the British press’ coverage of muggings in the 1970s: media and the state form a reciprocal relationship in constituting an “ideological state-apparatus.” The difference, however, is that when centered on an issue of pedagogy in late capitalism, new marketized actors and interests begin to emerge in the role of the state. As such, adults who challenge the reciprocity of the market and media – specifically when it comes to assumptions about learning, school, or education – become infantilized; they lack the supposed revelatory truths of the market and violate the norms of what I refer to as new debt politics.
"I learned I am a Feminist": Lessons for Adult Learning from Participatory Action Research with Union Women
Authors: Hanson Cindy
Published: July 2024

For almost two decades, the Prairie School for Union Women (PSUW) has operated in Saskatchewan, Canada. Its use of feminist popular education, adult learning principles in facilitation, and, mentoring and support for activist practices make it unique from other labour schools in many respects. This paper focuses on  community-based participatory action research that explored how well the PSUW was meeting its goals to “develop women’s personal and leadership skills, to build solidarity among women workers, and to increase knowledge about the labour movement.” The article documents not only how the School achieved its goals, but how it also offers lessons in inclusive labour education and activism, nonformal adult learning, intersectional feminist approaches, university-community relationships, and transformative education.
Space for Drawing: Women, Art, Love, and Fear
Authors: Zantingh Petra
Published: July 2024

This article describes an arts-based research project where my purpose was to investigate how older women develop their skills as visual artists through the medium of drawing in a small group setting. The social construction of artist identities among the group and my teaching of drawing formed the basis of my study in this informal, community-based learning environment. I assessed how learning new creative skills later in life affects the quality of an individual’s sense of self and their perceived value and contribution in relation to society, and how apprehension about learning a new skill touches others in the group. My interest extended to investigating how the skill of drawing influences other areas of life like aesthetic awareness; and to the role of digital media in rendering the research. Arts based research as a method of inquiry allowed the use of alternative representation of results and findings.

Wounded Learners Failed by Schooling: Symbolic Violence and Re-Engaging Low Income Adults
Authors: Lange Elizabeth , Chovanec Donna , Cardinal Trudy , Kajner Tania , Smith Acuña Nicole
Published: July 2024

Using exploratory case study to assess the learning needs of low income populations in a Canadian city, one key finding was that the majority are wounded learners from their experiences in the schooling system. Compounded by various social and economic factors, these wounds represent various forms of violence, particularly symbolic violence that continually reproduces their marginality. Community adult educators have the opportunity to offer recognition of wounding and help learners re-story positive learning identities, rebuild learning capacities as well as social and intellectual capital, and transform a limiting habitus. Through a dialectic of indignation and “dreamkeeping”, they can both also assist learners in challenging meritocratic systems that require woundedness and failure rather than capability as a form of educational justice and create spaces for hope for learners who still dream of serving others and contributing back to their communities.
Écrit dans la Reconnaissance des Acquis au Secondaire

Critical Disability Studies and Mad Studies: Enabling new Pedagogies in Practice
Authors: Castrodale Mark Anthony
Published: July 2024

I draw theoretically on the works of critical pedagogues to unpack my instructor experiences developing and teaching critical disability studies (CDS) and Mad studies in university contexts. My intent is to insert CDS and Mad pedagogies into the literature in adult education, where such discourses have been and continue to be absent from critical pedagogy in general and from teacher education more specifically. In this paper, I offer a critique of the absence of CDS and Mad studies‐informed approaches and perspectives in critical pedagogy in ways that may inform adult education. CDS and Mad studies can also help us to unpack the often ableist and sanist nature of Canadian teacher education.

Reclaiming Coady: Adult Education and Economic Development in Atlantic Canada
Authors: White Melissa , King Sarah
Published: July 2024

This paper seeks to challenge the rhetoric of deficit that surrounds Atlantic Canada by employing an appreciative approach and discussing one key Atlantic Canadian, Rev. Moses M. Coady, adult educator and the founder of the Antigonish Movement. Coady’s work was grounded in the Atlantic region, and his message of cooperation, community, and consciousness‑raising pioneered the field of emancipatory education so often associated with the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire. As Atlantic Canadians, we wish to reclaim Coady’s work and celebrate his contribution to the culture and development of our region. This paper begins with an overview of the deficit discourse that permeates Atlantic Canada. The paper describes the life and work of Moses Coady and provides a brief biography of the life and work of Paolo Freire, both of whom approached their work from an appreciative perspective, to lay the foundation for our argument as to why the work of Moses Coady needs to be reclaimed in the teaching and practice of adult education in Atlantic Canada.

Predicaments of the Academic Community-Based Educator
Authors: Brann-Barrett M. Tanya , Timm-Bottos Janis
Published: July 2024

Many academic educators who hope to contribute to socially just community building recognize that working in partnerships with people and organizations outside the academy is important. Working within publicly funded universities and engaging in community‑based work, however, require juggling responsibilities to multiple stakeholders. In this article, we present reflections on predicaments we encounter as academic community‑based educators as we balance obligations, relationship responsibilities, and outcome expectations that affect our work. We overview our educative projects and share examples of predicaments we encounter. We offer preliminary interpretations of what predicaments tell us about how power plays upon our practice and views of scholarship that may help us disrupt it. We contend that broad and inclusive perceptions of scholarship are required to allow space for community‑based educators and their partners to critically engage in community building that supports all society.

It criticizes Canadian federal and provincial government policies and programs, which focus on a global goal of enabling all women to practise exclusive breastfeeding and do not pay enough attention to immigrant mothers’ breastfeeding experience. Based on an analysis of government policies and in‑depth qualitative interviews with two Chinese immigrant mothers in Canada, I argue that breastfeeding is an ideological practice associated with neo‑liberalized restructuring that shapes the organization of current breastfeeding policies, educational and medical programs, and migrant mothers’ everyday practice.

L'expérience Étudante à Temps Partiel: Son Incidence sur L'engagement, les Perceptions et la Rétention
Authors: Lee Nicole Elizabeth
Published: July 2024

Historiquement, les apprenantes et apprenants à temps partiel vivent de l’isolement sur campus, ont moins de possibilités d’engagement scolaire et souffrent de taux d’attrition beaucoup plus élevés que leurs collègues à temps plein (Jacoby, 2015; Rajasekhara et Hirsch, 2000). La présente étude cherche donc à découvrir des stratégies efficaces pour enrichir les expériences scolaires et sociales des apprenantes et apprenants à temps partiel et, par conséquent, à augmenter leurs taux de rétention. À la session d’automne de 2015, un sondage anonyme a été utilisé pour capter les attitudes, les expériences, les besoins et les défis de 41 étudiantes et étudiants à temps partiel dans un grand collège communautaire canadien. À partir des données recueillies, des stratégies efficaces ont été relevées pour enrichir les expériences collégiales de la population étudiante à temps partiel et un lien entre le sentiment d’affinité envers l’établissement et la motivation des apprenantes et apprenants à temps partiel de poursuivre leurs études jusqu’à l’obtention du diplôme a été établi. Les recommandations découlant de cette étude sont axées sur la flexibilité, la disponibilité, et les choix des étudiantes et étudiants à temps partiel en matière de programmes postsecondaires, de cours, de services et d’activités sociales à l’intention de cette population.
Poetry, Prose and Personhood: The Art of Storytelling with the Homeless
Authors: Zhang Paige , Kteily-Hawa Roula
Published: July 2024

In 2016, 235,000 Canadians experienced homelessness and on any given night, there are 35,000 Canadians who are homeless. Many have significant mental health needs. This article describes a series of storytelling workshops offered at a shelter and medical clinic that provided a space for homeless people to reflect, share their voices, gain communication skills, and connect within a peer group. Fourteen self-selected homeless men participated. Staff and participant experiences are shared in this paper pointing to how narratives and storytelling provide a rich ground for better understanding and empowering people experiencing homelessness.
Women’s Illness Narratives: Storytelling as Art-Informed Inquiry
Authors: Kteily-Hawa Roula N
Published: July 2024

This article explores three narratives from South Asian Canadian immigrant women living with HIV, and how the project shifted from a conventional qualitative interview methodology toward an arts-informed narrative inquiry. Sharing my own story as an immigrant and refugee woman helped to establish trust and an emotive engagement with the women, making it easier for them to share their HIV-related experiences. Using a storytelling approach and Arthur W. Frank’s illness perspectives (1995),which include restitution (getting well), chaos (hopelessness), and quest (transcendence) as a framework, can deepen understandings of their lived experience as immigrant and refugee women living with HIV.
Introduction to Finding Voice and Listening: The Potential of Community and Arts-based Adult Education and Research
Authors: Butterwick Shauna , Roy Carole
Published: July 2024

This special issue of the Canadian Journal for the Study of Adult Educationincludes nine articles that each explore arts and community-based research and/or pedagogy and the power of these practices to create opportunities for those living on the margins to find their voices, tell their stories, and to have those experiences be heard by others. While adult educators and researchers oriented to addressing social injustices and inequalities have long been concerned with the matter of voice, in this special issue we include accounts of community and arts-based activities that created conditions for those voices to be heard. There is no possibility for change if there is no audience for these voices. Creative expression in various forms has much to offer practices that are concerned with enabling individuals and groups located on the margins of dominant society to speak and be heard.

N Ngoda: The Wealth Beneath Our Feet Exhibition
Authors: Chipangura Njabulo
Published: July 2024

Contemporary exhibitions in museums are increasingly becoming popular platforms to engage with stories of social struggles that surrounding communities will be  facing. This paper will look at how Mutare Museumused an exhibition on illegal diamond mining—the research, the design, and the production—to create a public forum, encourage dialogue, and in the process, reframe the museum and effect social change. Illegal diamond mining in Eastern Zimbabwe was a topical issue and we took it up into our exhibitory halls thereby allowing the public to engage on issues surrounding diamond mining in an open forum.  In the paper,   I will look at the conceptualisation of a polysemic exhibition on diamond mining that involved bringing together multiple stories by communities affected in the aftermath of relocations which paved way for the establishment of formal mining operations. Chiadzwa diamond fields are located approximately 80 miles south west of the city of Mutare, Manicaland.
Witnessing the Walking With Our Sisters Exhibit/Memorial: Learning from Trauma
Authors: Desmoulins Leisa
Published: July 2024

This article reports on a recent study into volunteers’ experiences learning from the Walking With Our Sisters (WWOS) commemorative exhibit to honour Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. The study is grounded in Battiste’s (2013) possibilities of educational transformations, within the context of learning from Indigenous commemorative exhibits that tell the hard truths of colonization (Lonetree, 2009) through visual testimony, and witnessing the stories of Indigenous peoples. Bearing witness involves responding to the call of testimony to act for justice (Laub, 1992). Interviews with 20 participants at two sites of the WWOS touring commemoration provided insights into a learning process of awakening, embodied knowing, and acting for change. Engaging with WWOS reshaped participants’ relationships to events and people in the past as transformative learning. Participants formed generative relationships and act for justice for Indigenous women and girls today.

Critically Engaging Volunteer Guides
Authors: Keenlyside Emily Grace
Published: July 2024

The role of art museum educators has shifted from presenter of information to facilitator of dialogue. But as art museums pledge to be more accountable to — and representative of — a plurality of publics and narratives, what is spoken about with visitors? Given revolving temporary exhibitions and expanded readings of permanent collections, guides play a dual role of adult learner and educator. This article asks what learning opportunities equip art museum guides to critically engage with challenging subject matter. A qualitative research project grounded in the author’s reflective practice, it draws on interviews with newly trained volunteer guides. Responses suggest that guides’ relationships to challenging subject matter are multilayered and deserving of both personal and institutional attention. Findings point to a need for support that includes, but is not limited to, ongoing training. This article will contribute to the growing but limited scholarship on art museum educators’ learning, speaking to efforts by trainers and adult educators to foster reflexivity and critically embrace the potentially challenging and necessary dialogues inspired by art museum collections.
Creating Temenos in the Classroom
Authors: Di Rezze Gianna
Published: July 2024

The following article describes the interplay of self-knowledge and relational knowing in the co-creation of the classroom temenos. A nurturing classroom temenos is a particular quality of relational space which may be experienced by students as a place where they are safe, seen, heard and accepted. The greater temenos of the classroom is shaped and in-formed by teachers’ cultivation of their own inner temenos through mindful practices which can help build capacity for relationship. In this article I borrow alchemical language and processes to describe my experience of the relational temenos. I use select personal narratives and two key symbolic images to describe how this embodied knowledge of self and other might allow students and teachers to become more fully themselves. I suggest that it is in this invisible but existent intersubjective space or  “innermost layer” (Aoki, 1988, p. 20) of teaching where the potential for transformation and future well-being might be found.
Feminist Activist Storytelling
Authors: Chau Annie
Published: July 2024

I came to recognize the importance of story over the course of my master’s degree. With the intention to diversify feminism, I explored the storied journeys of Indigenous and racialized immigrant women in Canada becoming activists. ‘Becoming’ is imperative to feminist activism, as Ahmed (2017) stated, “Feminism is DIY: A form of self-assembly” (p. 27). Politically, understanding how women have learned about and resisted against sexism, racism, and colonialism through their narratives has informed my praxis of feminism, decolonization, and allyship. Personally, my studies brought me to my own stories and storytelling, as a feminist activist and daughter of Vietnamese refugee ‘Boat People’. I share how I came to read story, listen to story, and tell my own story.
Bending the Line
Authors: Dominguez Mariana
Published: July 2024

This article is a personal reflection about the acknowledgement of my “taken-for-granted frames of reference” (Mezirow, 2003, p. 59), which were replicating the hegemonic narrative I grew up surrounded by as a white, Mexican, Spanish-speaker; while hindering a more thorough understanding of the educational and linguistic topics that interested me. Drawing from the work of North American and Latin American, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, scholars working in the fields of language revitalization and Indigenous knowledge, I provide a personal introduction and link my language learning and teaching experiences to my professional interest in Spanish-Yucatec Maya bilingualism of undergraduate Maya students of my region while beginning to outline my presence as a non-Indigenous emerging researcher working with Indigenous students.
Learning and Teaching
Authors: Mantas Kathy , Roy Carole
Published: July 2024

Learning and Teaching: Artful Narratives of Transformation, a special issue of the Canadian Journal for the Study of Adult Education, features ten articles, field notes, a book review, and a virtual art exhibition–a first for this journal–meant to complement and extend discussions on the theme of learning, teaching and transformation. More specifically, this issue brings together creative essays from diverse perspectives and disciplines, using multiple artful forms, to illustrate transformation in both formal and informal learning and teaching contexts. This collection contributes to the ongoing discussions on alternative and emergent approaches to transformative learning–a theoretical framework that continues to be crucial in adult education. As well, it invites us to consider the power of reflective, narrative, creative, and artful processes to give form to, communicate, and transform our complex, multi-layered, and colourful professional and personal (as well as collective) experiences of teaching and learning.
