CONTRADIÇÕES E DIÁLOGOS DO AMOR E DAS CULTURAS: UMA LEITURA DE BALADA DE AMOR AO VENTO, DE PAULINA CHIZIANE
Authors: da Silva Fabio Mario , Negromonte Gabrielly
Published: September 2024

Paulina Chiziane foi a primeira mulher a publicar um romance em Moçambique, além de ser ganhadora do Prêmio Camões 2021. É, como se pode notar, uma escritora de destaque nas literaturas africanas de língua portuguesa. Suas obras geralmente possuem um teor crítico, pois costumam questionar a situação feminina no país. Este trabalho busca abranger também outra perspectiva na obra desta autora, analisando os diálogos culturais que ela sutilmente propõe a partir da história de amor narrada no romance Balada de Amor ao Vento, bem como as vicissitudes que permeiam essa história nas três fases do amor vivenciadas pelos protagonistas Sarnau e Mwando, sobre as quais voltamos nossa atenção. Para desenvolver nossas discussões em torno do amor, recorremos a Octavio Paz (1994), o qual traz uma concepção ampla desse sentimento, uma vez que distingue sua dimensão universal (amor enquanto sentimento) da local/temporal (amor enquanto ideia) e que, embora focalize em seu estudo a tradição ocidental, não se restringe a esta, trazendo também reflexões acerca do amor nos tempos e nas sociedades. No que concerne à escrita de Chiziane, apoiamo-nos em estudos de pesquisadores e pesquisadoras como Freitas (2012, 2014), Botoso (2018), Costa (2016), Mata (2023) e nas contribuições da própria escritora, a saber: um ensaio de sua autoria, bem como uma entrevista cedida à pesquisadora Nazareth Fonseca. A pesquisa é de abordagem qualitativa e, quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos, foi feita uma revisão bibliográfica. Pudemos perceber que os conflitos amorosos vivenciados pelos protagonistas são também perpassados pelas contradições culturais (decorrentes da colonização) e que parece haver uma sugestão subliminar da necessidade de trocas entre os diversos povos e culturas, metaforizada, entre outros aspectos, na reconciliação do casal principal.

Study’s Excerpt

Investigation of the role of fomites in the transmission of nosocomial pathogens, specifically Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, within various units of General Hospital Katsina was carried out.
The results reveal high contamination of fomites in the male ward, with significant bacterial colony counts, and the differing susceptibility profiles of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa to commonly used antibiotics.
There is need for improved infection control and antibiotic stewardship in the region.

Full Abstract
Nosocomial infections, predominantly caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, continue to be a major public health challenge, especially in developing countries, due to their associated morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to isolate and identify bacterial pathogens from fomites in the Accident and Emergency (A&E) unit, male ward, and female ward of General Hospital Katsina and to evaluate their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. A total of 90 swab samples were collected from frequently touched items such as beddings, door handles, floor surfaces, scissors, and forceps across the three locations. Standard microbiological techniques were utilized for the isolation and identification of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, followed by antibacterial susceptibility testing using the disc diffusion method. Bacterial growth was observed in 58 (64.4%) samples, with S. aureus accounting for 32 (55.2%) and P. aeruginosa for 26 (44.8%) of the isolates. The male ward exhibited the highest contamination levels, with a mean colony count of 725.25 CFU/plate, significantly higher than the female ward (487.67 CFU/plate) and the A&E unit (48 CFU/plate), as confirmed by a one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05). Chi-square analysis revealed no statistically significant association between bacterial species and hospital location (p = 0.823). The susceptibility testing showed that S. aureus isolates were generally susceptible to Gentamycin, Ciprofloxacin, and Pefloxacin but resistant to Amoxicillin. Conversely, P. aeruginosa displayed high resistance to Gentamycin and Septrin. Conclusively, these findings revealed the critical role of fomites in the transmission of pathogens and highlighted the need for enhanced infection control measures and targeted antibiotic stewardship programs to mitigate the risks associated with these infections.
THE LAW OF SELF-EXPLOITATION OF AN WORKER
Authors: Tolmachev Oleg L.
Published: September 2024

The application of the theory of marginal utility to the modern conditions of entrepreneurs’ activities, as well as to the labor of hired workers, in combination with modern research in this area, allowed the author to identify and formulate a stable pattern of “self-exploitation of an worker”, characteristic of any modern working person. The analysis of the average estimates by a modern small entrepreneur and hired worker of the marginal usefulness of the results of their labor and the burden of their acquisition (appropriation) led the author to the conclusion that there are certain stable regularities in the ratio of these estimates, which can be formulated as the law of the self-exploitation of an worker (working person): “The subjective assessment by the worker (working person) of the marginal utility of the ruble he earns will always decrease, and the marginal burden of earning this ruble will increase. At the point of intersection of these two estimates, an equilibrium state occurs, when the assessment of further efforts to earn the marginal ruble acquires a negative character and exceeds the assessment of the attractiveness of the marginal ruble earned. At this equilibrium point, the worker (working person) stops making efforts to earn the next ruble”. The author refers to a modern worker or working person as people who make certain efforts to earn money or some other results of their work, relying mainly on their own physical and mental strength and resources. These can be both self-employed citizens and small entrepreneurs, managers and other employees. The identified patterns clarify the causes and mechanism of a sharp decrease in the productivity of employees with an excessive increase in the production load, the nature of the concept of the “norm of control” (“sphere of control”) and its connection with the reasons for “delegation of authority” in organizations. The revealed features of the self-exploitation of working people in various areas of employment make it possible to take them into account in practical activities, more effectively distributing the labor load.

The issues of tourism development in regional entities in the context of business adaptation to the requirements of the mobilization economy are considered. Tourism is endowed with the property of a driver of economic, social and cultural development of territories. The object of the study is the tourism sector as a key link in the image education system of the region. The purpose of the study is to develop a model for managing the competitiveness of tourism services in the context of mobilization changes on a marketing and communication platform that implements new requirements for digitalization and intellectualization of innovative transformations. It is proposed to activate the communication multiplier and use human capital more effectively in the course of marketing adaptation of subjects to the action of multidirectional factors of the external and internal contours of the local socio-­economic system. The research is based on the use of a systematic approach to understanding the essence of adaptive potential in relation to the mobilization stage of the transformation of the tourism sector of the Russian economy. Categorical analysis was applied in the development of a new conceptual framework in the field of tourism business. The method of expert assessments was used to determine the impact of various factors on the development of the tourism sector, as well as a modeling method to improve the competitiveness management of the business forming it. A model for managing the competitiveness of tourism services in the context of the mobilization orientation of the economy is proposed, which allows creating a “window of opportunity” for the sustainable functioning and development of the tourism sector at the level of the regional economy within the framework of the strategy formed by it to keep business competitive positions. The results obtained correlate the effectiveness of business development with the marketing and behavioral adaptation of subjects with the expansion of the action of the communication multiplier.

Authors: Bakharev Evgeniy Yu. , Anisimov Alexander Yu.
Published: September 2024

The introduction of digital technologies affects almost all areas of activity of modern organizations, including production, organizational structure and relationships with partners, suppliers and customers. The importance of implementing digital transformation in all areas is emphasized in many strategic and program documents of the Russian Federation. The purpose of this study is to study the strategic aspects of the digital transformation of organizations, as well as the impact of costs on the implementation and development of digital technologies of organizations and the results and their activities. As a result of the study, it was determined that digital transformation is an important tool for ensuring direct communication between organizations and clients, allowing products and services to be adapted to the changing needs of consumers. Based on content analysis, the work determined that the main benefits for the organization as a result of digital transformation are an increase in the productivity of production factors and an increase in financial results as a result of investments made and costs for the implementation and use of digital technologies. However, organizations that invest in digital technologies often fail to achieve the expected increase in revenue. In this regard, to assess the degree of impact of investments in digital transformation, as well as the costs of introducing and using digital technologies and financial results in the work, a correlation analysis was carried out. As a result of the correlation analysis between the values of profit indicators by type of economic activity, as well as the volume of investments and the volume of expenses of the organization for the implementation and use of digital technologies, it was revealed that an increase in investments and costs for the introduction of digital technologies is not always accompanied by an increase in financial results, which is confirmed by the values of correlation coefficients, as well as an assessment of their significance. During the research, the methods of content analysis, descriptive and statistical analysis were used. As a result of the study, it was determined that the economic effect of the introduction of digital technologies in different industries may be different, which determines the use of differentiated strategic approaches to the digital transformation of modern business.

Authors: BABINA O.I.
Published: September 2024

The paper focuses on categorizing speech acts found in evaluative discourse, specifically in the genre of online reviews. The study was based on the text corpus of reviews on private medical centers in Chelyabinsk. During the research, we divided statements of the online reviews into three groups: evaluative statements, motivations of evaluations, and contextual statements, and identified the typical speech acts associated with each group. The research also found that different types of speech acts are linked to the focus in the online discourse, which can be directed towards the addressee-consumer, the addressee-company, or the expression of the speaker’s thoughts and feelings. Through the research, cases of hybrid speech acts were identified and the types of speech acts prune to hybridization were determined. The outcome of the research is a classification for illocutionary acts in evaluative online discourse, which can be utilized as an annotation scheme for preparing data for training text understanding models.

The article aims to analyse verbal constructions in discourse of geographical space description. The relevance is explained by the paradigm of modern linguistics and the tendency to arrange numerous discourse studies in order to investigate various types of texts and highlight their significant characteristics on various linguistic levels. Scientific novelty lies in the fact that it was the first attempt to study peculiarities of verbal constructions in the discourse of geographical space description. To organize the research the corpus of texts devoted to the description of continents and oceans was compiled. The key features of combinations with verbs ‘занимать’, ‘находиться’ and ‘располагаться’ were revealed by means of semantic, corpus and discourse analysis. As a result, the author presented semantic peculiarities of the analysed verbs, the frequency list of their word-forms, specified the main participants, typical communicative models and other syntactic features.
PRAGMATIC POTENTIAL OF THE PREAMBLE AND PECULIARITIES OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN SCHOOL NORMATIVE TEXTS (BASED ON THE GERMAN LANGUAGE)
Authors: BOLSHAKOVA T.M.
Published: September 2024

The main content of the study is the identification and description of the features of the process of actualization of the pragmatic potential of the preambles of normative texts of German primary schools, the main addressees of which are primary school students. The pragmatic potential of the preamble as a special introductory content-structural element of the text is defined as the ability to to have an impact on the addressee by creating conditions for a correct understanding of the information presented in the main text, and through the formation of a positive attitude towards it. It is revealed that the pragmatic potential of the preamble is actualized in the texts through the implementation of an explicitly expressed persuasive intention by the addressers. Its purpose is to persuade the addressees to accept the addresser’s point of view with the help of emotional and rational arguments and to encourage them to take the necessary post-communicative actions. It is shown that the persuasive intention of the addressers is explicated with the help of various speech tactics, which should be to form in children a positive attitude towards the rules of behavior and social interaction contained in the main text. It is concluded that the choice of linguistic means that verbalize tactics is determined by the features of the thesaurus of the target audience.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) involve a wide range of childhood traumatic events such as emotional, sexual and physical abuses. The detrimental effects of ACEs on adulthood have received increasing attention recently, which has been found to be significantly associated with increased risks of mental disorders and quality of relationship. Therefore, this present study aims at estimating the proportion of ACEs among the married individuals attending the Presbyterian church of East Africa (P.C.E.A), known as the Nairobi North Presbytery. This study utilized a cross-sectional research design, using a quantitative research approach to collect data from 288 married individuals sampled from 14,400 married couples across 17 parishes using Cochran (1963) formula. The total of 288 married individuals’ both male (N=150, 52.1%) and female (N= 138, 47.9%) with age ranges from 20 years to 75 years old with the mean age 45.9 ± (SD: 12.235) were sampled and screened to participate in the study. The ACE International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) is a 43-item scale which was developed according to model of ACEs by World Health Organization (2009) was used to assess childhood experiences of the participants. Results from the study showed the general prevalence of ACEs, that is the proportion of the respondents who experienced at least four or more childhood experiences at 90.6%. Also, the frequency of multiple exposure to ACEs was higher among the respondents aged 41-65 years at 54.9%, among the male respondents at 47.9%, and among the married individuals at 73.3%. Also, this study found the top three highest proportion of childhood traumatic experiences among the participants, which are community violence (91%), emotional neglect (83%), and violence against household members (79.9%). This study therefore recommended that churches in Kenya particular, and worldwide in general may consider engaging the services of clinical psychologists to help in screening married individuals for ACEs and to ensure access to mental health services for children and families, including early intervention and trauma-informed care.

An Extended Exploration on Marx's Thought of Production Function
Authors:   The University of Shimane, 2433-2 Nobaracho, Hamada, ZHANG Zhongren
Published: September 2024

The topics presented in this paper are all new attempts to some extent, and so far, although there is some kind of attempts to reinterpret Marx's economic theory by using the Cobb-Douglas production function, there are few systematic studies of Marxist economics from the point of view of the production function. This paper reveals clear evidence that Marx had the idea of the production function in Capital and emphasizes that there is no such formulation in Capital as the so-called Marxian value equation c+v+m = w , written in letters, but that the formula W =c+v+m , which appears for the first time in Volume III of Capital, belongs to the typical format of a linear production function. From this it can also be recognized that the vertical Leontief production function actually stems from the decomposition of the variable capital part of Marx's production function. In terms of research methodology, this paper, based on a multi-party series of research results obtained from the study of production functions from the special to the general, after clarifying that the basic characteristic of Marx's production function is a linear production function, it achieves generalization by expanding it into the form. of the CES production function, thus clarifying the intrinsic connection between Marx's linear production function and other forms of production functions. The significance of this paper lies mainly in the fact that by exploring and analyzing Marx's idea of the production thought, we can deepen our understanding of Marx's economic theory, especially by further expanding the model of economic growth derived from the reproduction schema, and be conducive to comparative analyses with the economic theories of other schools of thought.

Authors: Faria Vinícius Figueiredo de , Corrêa Fábio , Gaspar Marcos Antonio , Silva Helton Júnio da , Ziviani Fabrício
Published: September 2024

Objetivo: A Ciência da Informação inclui a Gestão do Conhecimento como uma de suas áreas de estudo, em que a teoria e a prática interagem sistematicamente para coordenar as atividades organizacionais. A Gestão do Conhecimento e o Capital Intelectual surgem para definir o desenvolvimento de uma gestão eficaz dos recursos para gerar vantagens competitivas numa economia baseada no conhecimento. Nesse contexto, investidores, executivos de empresas, profissionais, governantes e acadêmicos debatem longamente o potencial de criação de valor do Capital Intelectual. No entanto, os modelos, definições e elementos que sustentam esse campo científico ainda não fornecem um arcabouço fundamental que tenha como função, nortear a mensuração do Capital Intelectual nos setores econômicos. Assim, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo identificar métodos de mensuração do Capital Intelectual e sua correlação com setores da economia.
Método: Foi utilizada a técnica de Revisão Sistemática da Literatura, congregada com a Análise de Conteúdo, sendo uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo e exploratório-descritivo.
Resultado: A monta de 80 pesquisas, remanescentes da Revisão Sistemática da Literatura, foram analisadas, sendo identificados os seguintes métodos de mensuração de intangíveis: Métodos de Capital Intelectual Direto (DIC), Métodos de Capitalização de Mercado (MCM), Métodos de Retorno Sobre Ativos (ROA) e Métodos Scorecard (SC). Esses métodos foram correlacionados aos setores de Comércio de produtos (indústria), Comércio de mercadorias, Comércio de serviços e Público. Verifica-se que praticamente todas as categorias de medição do CI (DIC, MCM, ROA e SC) demonstram abrangência nos quatro setores econômicos (indústria, comércio de mercadorias, comércio de serviços e público) identificados. Contudo, destaca-se uma maior concentração de estudos nas categorias ROA e SC, evidenciando um equilíbrio considerável na escolha entre métodos monetários (ROA) e não monetários (SC) para a mensuração do CI.
Conclusões: Conclui-se que a relação dos métodos de mensuração de intangíveis para diferentes setores econômicos permite compreender as razões pelas quais investidores, executivos corporativos, profissionais, autoridades governamentais e acadêmicos decidem por mensurar o Capital Intelectual das organizações. Espera-se que esta investigação fomente avanços na consolidação dos aspectos relacionados aos métodos de mensuração de intangíveis ligados ao capital intelectual como importante estrutura para a tomada de decisões nas organizações, comunidades, cidades e países.

Authors: Santos Sarah Rúbia de Oliveira , Da Consolação Dias Célia
Published: September 2024

Objetivo: Com o aumento da disponibilidade de dados na web, cresce também o número de pesquisas em Ciências Humanas e Sociais no ambiente digital, especialmente aquelas que usam dados do patrimônio cultural. Nesse sentido, este artigo tem como objetivo investigar os desafios enfrentados pela Organização do Conhecimento no contexto das Humanidades Digitais e do Patrimônio Cultural. Para isso, são analisadas publicações na área de "Informação e Ciência da Computação" na base de dados Dimensions.
Método: Este estudo é qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório, com coleta de dados realizada na base Dimensions. Após exportação em planilhas, foram criados mapas bibliométricos no VOSViewer com os dados de 477 artigos. A análise permitiu identificar 5 clusters, dos quais 2 abordam desafios para a Organização do Conhecimento.
Resultado: Entre os principais desafios identificados estão a gestão de dados heterogêneos do Patrimônio Cultural, que estão fragmentados em vários repositórios de menor projeção e abrangência. A representação digital de dados do Patrimônio Cultural é outro desafio importante, tanto em relação ao processamento por máquinas quanto à experiência do usuário humano. Esses problemas dificultam a contextualização e enriquecimento das informações para e pelos usuários, exigindo a integração e interoperabilidade dos acervos presentes em repositórios. A integração de conjuntos de dados heterogêneos de patrimônio cultural é um problema comum em Humanidades Digitais. Os resultados apontam que as soluções atuais ainda não são suficientes para dar conta da complexidade dos dados.
Conclusões: Os resultados apontam que as soluções atuais ainda não são suficientes para dar conta da complexidade dos dados, o que aponta a necessidade de identificar, investigar e produzir acerca desses desafios, dando visibilidade para que eles possam ser abordados e enfrentados. A integração de dados, o uso de vocabulários controlados e Linked Data representam importantes processos e tecnologias para a promoção da interoperabilidade semântica e para avanços significativos nas áreas das Humanidades Digitais e do Patrimônio Cultural. Como trabalho futuro, o objetivo é concentrar em levantar iniciativas que se ocupam da integração de dados e continuar investigando a Organização do Conhecimento no âmbito das Humanidades Digitais e do Patrimônio Cultural.

Published: September 2024

Objetivo: O artigo apresenta os resultados de um estudo de caso que examina as práticas e políticas de Ciência Aberta (CA) na Universidade Nacional de Córdoba (UNC), a segunda maior universidade da Argentina. O estudo concentra-se em três dos quatro pilares da OS, conforme definidos pela UNESCO em 2021: conhecimento científico aberto, infraestruturas de ciência aberta e engajamento aberto com atores sociais, especialmente a ciência cidadã.
Método: Em meados de 2021, foi implementada uma pesquisa apoiada pelas Secretarias de Ciência e Tecnologia de diversas escolas, direcionada a professores e pesquisadores da UNC. Com base nesses dados primários, aprofundamos em casos selecionados por meio da análise de fontes secundárias. Além disso, foram realizadas consultas com informantes-chave, incluindo líderes de projetos de Ciência Aberta, participantes e pessoal administrativo universitário.
Resultado: No domínio do conhecimento científico aberto, o Acesso Aberto (AA) destaca-se como a atividade mais desenvolvida, respaldada por um repositório institucional e uma crescente coleção de mais de 100 periódicos de AA diamante. Outras práticas, como dados de pesquisa abertos, software e hardware abertos, e recursos educacionais abertos, têm uma presença menos expressiva. No contexto das infraestruturas científicas e acadêmicas, plataformas abertas implementadas localmente coexistem com um número crescente de serviços comerciais terceirizados. Projetos emergentes de ciência cidadã são evidentes em diversos campos, enquanto nas ciências sociais e humanidades, ocasionalmente, se cruzam com iniciativas de extensão universitária.
Conclusões: As universidades públicas constituem um pilar fundamental na produção de conhecimento na Argentina e na América Latina como um todo. Compreender a dinâmica e o apoio local para a Ciência Aberta é essencial. Este estudo contribui para capturar tendências, implementações e impactos relevantes para a região.
Rheumatological manifestations of H syndrome
Authors: Rahma Honsali , Tahiri Latifa , Cherkaoui Dekkaki Sara , Allali Fadoua
Published: September 2024

H syndrome (HS) is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis characterised by cutaneous hyper­pigmentation, hypertrichosis, sclerodermatous thickening, and multisystemic involvement. It results from mutations in the SLC29A3 gene encoding the human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 3, leading to impaired histiocyte apoptosis and unchecked proliferation. We report the case of a 24-year-old Moroccan male who had a history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. He deve­loped hyperpigmented skin patches with hypertrichosis and induration. Musculoskeletal findings included bilateral hallux valgus, pes planus, reducible flexion contractures of the proximal interphalangeal joints, and restricted ankle dorsiflexion. Additional findings consist of lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, hypogonadism, and ophthalmic manifestations. Investigations showed elevated sedimentation rate, anaemia, and osteopaenia. Ankle ultrasound revealed calcaneal enthesopathy and subcutaneous infiltration. In reporting this case, we aim to highlight the significant rheumatological involvement that can arise in patients with H syndrome and explore potential treatment options to improve the musculoskeletal findings.

This study analyzed the influence of parental and/or guardian involvement on the academic performance of 3rd-grade students at the Municipal School Santa Luzia in Cajazeiras, Macaíba. The specific objectives included understanding parents’ and/or guardians’ perceptions of their role in the educational process, exploring their participation in students’ learning, identifying factors that affected their effective participation, and proposing strategies to encourage greater involvement of these responsible parties in the school. A qualitative case study methodology was adopted, utilizing semi-structured interviews, analysis of official documents, and a literature review. The sample consisted of 24 3rd-grade students, 2 teachers, 2 administrators, and 10 parents and/or guardians. The results revealed a significant relationship between parental support and students’ academic performance. Students who received more support or supervision from their parents or guardians performed better academically. The study emphasizes the importance of active parental and/or guardian involvement in students’ school life, not only in terms of financial and material support but also in interaction with teachers and other members of the school community. A notable aspect of the research was the formative/summative assessment conducted with parents present in the classroom. The results of this assessment, not disclosed to the students and their families, were quite revealing: when parents were present, students’ correct responses ranged from 95% to 100%, while in the absence of parents, correct responses ranged from 20% to 50%. This result highlights the significant influence that parental participation can have on students’ academic success.

A gestão escolar na contemporaneidade é cobrada a assumir uma perspectiva técnico-burocrática. Na contracorrente, o presente artigo trata da dimensão pedagógica da gestão escolar e suas contribuições para a qualidade social da educação. Autores e autoras do campo da gestão, numa perspectiva democrática apóiam a pesquisa (Luck, 2009; Paro, 2005; Arroyo, 2020). A abordagem qualitativa favorece acessar os sentidos atribuídos à gestão pelos gestores (Minayo, 2015). Para tanto, toma como campo a EREM Professor Mário Sette, a partir do estudo de caso, contando como sujeitos da pesquisa o gestor e o assistente de gestão. A observação, a análise documental e a entrevista semiestruturada são os procedimentos utilizados. Através da Análise de Conteúdo (Bardin, 1979), identificamos que a gestão da EREM Professor Mário Sette, desenvolve as dimensões administrativa e pedagógica em articulação, e dedica-se, sobretudo, à dimensão pedagógica, visando à qualidade social da educação.
Territórios periféricos e suas visualidades: texto e contexto para a educação em direitos humanos
Authors: Ramos Aura Helena , Abreu Pablo Ramos
Published: September 2024

Este ensaio apreende a força da cultura visual e expressividade da produção imagética das periferias em redes sociais da internet, como elemento da produção discursiva em um processo de disputa hegemônica por significação na qual a diferença se visibiliza. Com inspiração no paradigma epistêmico da complexidade proposto por Najmanovich (2022), analisa visualidades periféricas localizadas  por busca em perfis do Instagram a partir das hashtags #periferia e #periferias.  Operando com a ideia de constituição do social proposta por Chantal Mouffe, destaca a necessidade de se refletir sobre um sentido para a educação que considere o contexto de um mundo com fronteiras físicas que se diluem frente ao alcance e agilidade das redes sociais e argumenta que a ampla disponibilidade do aparato necessário à produção imagética é uma realidade da qual os jovens da periferia já se deram conta, apontando uma compreensão possível para a educação em direitos humanos que nomeamos como perspectiva agonística.

Published: September 2024

O projeto de intervenção surgiu, em uma disciplina de mestrado do Programa de Pós-graduação em Ensino de Ciências e Matemática, da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), a partir de uma conversa dialogada com alguns membros da Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Caruaru, ao retratar os resultados educacionais dos estudantes nas avaliações externas, mostrando os projetos e intervenções realizadas para superar esses índices. Em meio ao diálogo, foram nos repassado a implantação de 20 laboratórios de ciências nas escolas dos Anos Iniciais e Finais do Ensino Fundamental. Ao realizarmos uma visita presencial para conhecer os laboratórios de Ciências, o perfil e as necessidades dos professores percebemos a carência dos docentes sobre as novas metodologias de ensino, além da necessidade de manusear os materiais básicos do laboratório. Neste contexto, lançamos uma proposta de um curso de formação onde trabalharemos com os docentes as novas Metodologias de Ensino, a partir dos materiais disponíveis nos laboratórios que estão sendo implantados nas escolas. O curso será realizado de forma presencial e online, no sentido de que esta formação venha contribuir para uma reconfiguração das práticas docentes, a partir do uso das mais novas metodologias de ensino, focado no contexto escolar que os mesmos estão inseridos, considerando o estudante como o centro do processo de ensino e aprendizagem.

Published: September 2024

O presente relato objetiva-se a descrever as vivências e experiências realizadas no estágio da docência no ensino superior, realizado na disciplina Metodologias Ativas e Inovadoras, durante semestre 2020.3 (remoto), ofertada no curso de Licenciatura em Física, da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. A disciplina Metodologias Ativas e Inovadoras oferecida tinha como principal objetivo articular teoria e prática pedagógica, privilegiando estratégias como debates, primando temas inovadores. Assim, foram utilizados diferentes recursos tecnológicos e ferramentas com apoio de redes sociais como o WhatsApp e recursos Google, como o Google Classroom, Google Meet, repositórios no Google Drive. As aulas eram interativas, por meio da Plataforma Google Meet, com discussões e apresentações, realizando-se atividades individuais e/ou em grupos, promovendo construções e aprendizagens individuais, compartilhadas e colaborativas. Os alunos participantes da disciplina eram em número de dezesseis, conduzidos a discutir e compreender metodologias ativas e inovadoras, com base nos pressupostos teóricos e possibilidades práticas de suas utilizações. Algumas atividades extraclasse foram desenvolvidas, acompanhados por meio do Google Classroom e redes sociais, além de esclarecimento de dúvidas e execução de um projeto envolvendo experiências em Física, intitulado Aprendizagem através do Encantamento e Investigação no Ensino de Física, culminando na produção de um capítulo, por aluno participante, e produção de um e-book. O estágio foi bastante proveitoso, criando possibilidades e discussões em temáticas importantes envolvendo o objeto de pesquisa, ampliar experiências na graduação, no contato com os alunos, na preparação e execução dos projetos e das aulas. A preocupação de ofertar conteúdos de melhor qualidade aos discentes, para formação pessoal e profissional na compreensão das metodologias ativas. Um momento ímpar, considerando a experiência e importância nas contribuições significativas para minha formação proporcionada pelo professor e também meu orientador durante todo o período do estágio e muito mais para minha formação como pós-graduando e pesquisador no Ensino de Ciências, conhecendo e refletindo estratégias de aprendizagem aplicáveis na prática docente.
COMPREENDENDO O PROCESSO DE GERMINAÇÃO A PARTIR DA EXPERIMENTAÇÃO

Published: September 2024

O ensino de ciências com marcas tradicionais vem sendo transformado por renovações metodológicas que os professores adotam, tornando os estudantes sujeitos ativos dentro do processo de construção do conhecimento. Dentro dessas renovações, pode-se destacar a experimentação problematizadora, que é marcada por três momentos; (i) Problematização inicial; (ii) organização do conhecimento; e (iii) aplicação do conhecimento, de acordo com os processos metodológicos do professor. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo objetivou-se em aplicar uma experimentação problematizadora para a compreensão do processo de germinação das sementes, obtendo resultados satisfatórios a respeito da construção de conhecimentos por parte dos alunos sobre o processo de germinação.

Published: September 2024

O presente trabalho trata-se de um relato de experiência de uma atividade realizada com estudantes do 9º ano em uma escola da rede privada do município de Paulista-PE. O trabalho desdobra-se sobre a importância das plantas alimentícias não convencionais para a alimentação e sua relevância no contexto da biodiversidade. Pesquisar sobre esses vegetais que não estão em nossa alimentação diariamente, mas que poderiam estar, promoveu o interesse dos estudantes acerca desses vegetais e favoreceu discussão sobre modos de preparo e cultivo. Esta proposta está em sintonia com a necessidade premente de inovar e diversificar os meios didáticos pelos quais o conteúdo de botânica é exposto, favorecendo através da pesquisa e da prática a aquisição de saberes que perpassam os contidos no currículo, enriquecendo a experiência e a vivência dos estudantes nas aulas de botânica.
