Utilization of Vision Corridor for Self-evaluation of Vision Among Secondary School Students in Igbo-Ora, Southwest Nigeria
Authors: Ugalahi Mary O. , Bekibele Charles O. , Ogundipe Ayobade O.
Published: July 2021

Introduction:

Uncorrected refractive errors have been identified as a major cause of visual impairment with a high magnitude in developing countries, due to the paucity of eye care workers. To overcome this, different approaches like screening by non-eye care workers and self-assessment have been explored. This study aims to determine the utilization, reliability, and factors affecting the utilization of vision corridors among secondary school students.

Material and Methods:

An observational cross-sectional study conducted among students of Lasogba High School, Igbo-Ora, Southwest Nigeria. All the students received training on visual acuity assessment with the 6-meter Snellen’s chart. Thereafter, the chart with graphic instruction “Vision Corridor” was provided with a 4-week exposure period. All students who utilized the vision corridor recorded visual acuity in a register maintained by a community health extension worker. The utilization and factors that may have affected utilization were assessed after the exposure. Data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Science version 15.

Results:

A total of 373 students completed the study; males accounted for 48.8% and females 51.2%. The mean age of the students was 15.2 (±2.2) years. A total of 151 (40.5%) students utilized the vision corridor and factors associated with utilization included being female, age ≤15 years, and being in a junior class, all of which were statistically significant.

Conclusion:

A moderate proportion of the students utilized the vision corridor. This approach to refractive error screening appears promising, as self-evaluation may reduce the need for skilled manpower in refractive error screening in secondary school students. Therefore, this may effectively utilize skilled eye care manpower for other eye care services in developing countries where there is a paucity of eye care workers.

Published: July 2021

Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face significant challenges in the control of COVID-19, given limited resources, especially for inpatient care. In a parallel effort to that for vaccines, the identification of therapeutics that have near-term potential to be available and easily administered is critical. Using the United States (US), European Union (EU), and World Health Organization (WHO) clinical trial registries, we reviewed COVID-19 therapeutic agents currently under investigation. The search was limited to oral or potentially oral agents, with at least a putative anti-SARS-CoV-2 virus mechanism and with at least five registered trials. The search yielded 1,001, 203, and 1,128 trials, in the US, EU, and WHO trial registers, respectively. These trials covered 13 oral or potentially oral repurposed agents that are currently used as antimicrobials and immunomodulatory therapeutics with established safety profiles. The available evidence regarding proposed mechanisms of action, potential limitations, and trial status is summarized. The results of the search demonstrate few published studies of high quality, a low proportion of trials completed, and the vast majority with negative results. These findings reflect limited investment in COVID-19 therapeutics development compared with vaccines. We also identified the need for better coordination of trials of accessible agents and their combinations in LMICs. To prevent COVID-19 from becoming a neglected tropical disease, there is a critical need for rapid and coordinated efforts in the evaluation and deployment of those agents found to be efficacious.
Static energy absorption capacity of grid stiffened composite plates
Authors: Chauhan Richa , Bhar Anindya
Published: July 2021

This paper presents an experimental study on the energy absorption capacity of iso-grid and ortho-grid stiffened composite plates under transverse loading. The 3-point bend test has been performed to investigate the energy absorption behavior of grid stiffened composite plates. The test results show that energy absorption capacity up to failure is improved when the load is applied on the rib side. The ortho grid stiffened structure shows a higher energy absorption capacity after failure when loaded at the rib side. The main failure modes in grid stiffened composite plates are rib fracture, matrix cracking and delamination over the skin.

Published: July 2021

Herein the present study focuses on arsenic (As) contamination in groundwater, which plagues a vast section of the population of the world. Even the conservative estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO) estimate the number of people plagued by arsenic contaminated drinking water to be around 140-200 million. The Ganga- Brahmaputra fluvial plains in India and Padma-Meghna fluvial plains in Bangladesh are said to be one of the worst groundwater calamities to the humans. The Arsenic levels in drinking water in some of the most populated states in India are disproportionately higher than those defined by WHO guidelines. The paper, thus, delves into the anomaly in permissible limits defined by WHO and regional governments and its consequential effects. It briefly analyses the major sources of Arsenic contamination and its health effects in India. The study also looks closely into the states and districts plagued by the As contamination and explores the prominent treatment methods employed in as removal from the drinking water.

Authors: Parom S.K. , Gamaleon G.D. , Ishaku S.G. , Igwe J.C. , Obajuluwa O.F.
Published: July 2021

Background: ‘Kunun-zaki’ is a local drink made from slightly fermented corn or maize, with water as the medium. It is commonly taken by the people in the northern part of Nigeria. It has high nutritional benefit, even though it can also serve as a potential source of waterborne disease if not prepared under strict hygienic condition.Objective: This study was carried out to isolate Enterobacteriaceae bacteria from ‘kunun-zaki’ drinks and to determine their antibiotic susceptibility to commonly prescribed antibiotics within Kaduna metropolis of Kaduna State, Nigeria.Methods: A total of 20 samples were randomly collected from different locations (within a period of two weeks), analysed and coliform count determined. The bacterial isolates were identified using gram staining, selective media and standard biochemical tests. Antibiotics susceptibility testing was carried out using Kirby-Bauer agar diffusion method.Results: The following bacteria were isolated: Enterobacteriaceae (50%), Staphylococcus aureus (30%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (20%). The Enterobacteriaceae bacteria isolated were: Klebsiella pneumoniae 4 (20%), Escherichia coli 4, (20%), Citrobacter freundii 1 (5%) and Proteus vulgaris 1 (5%). The antibiotic susceptibility testrevealed that ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, imipenem and ofloxacin (each 100%) chloramphenicol (90%), amoxicillinclavulanate (80%) and streptomycin (70%) were active against the isolates while the isolates were resistant to ceftazidime (100%), meropenem (80%), cefoxitin and ceftriaxone (70%).Conclusion: This study showed the presence of Enterobacteriaceae contaminants in locally consumed drink (kununzaki) sold within Kaduna metropolis which pose a potential public health risk including the risk of transmission of strains which can lead to the spread of antibiotic resistance in the society.

Published: July 2021

Background: The phytochemical screening and antidiabetic activities of the methanol leaf extract and fractions of Sansevieria liberica Ger. and Labr. were investigated.Objectives: To identify the phytoconstituents present and evaluate the anti-diabetic activity of the leaf of S. liberica Ger. and Labr.Material and Methods: A 1.2 g of the pulverized leaf was cold macerated in methanol to obtain 240 g of the crude extract (CE), fractionation was done using n-hexane, ethylacetate and butanol. The CE and the fractions were screened for phytochemical and antidiabetic analysis using standard procedures. Diabetes was induced by intraperitonial injection of alloxan. The blood glucose levels were analyzed as indices of diabetes.Results: After 24 hours, alloxan increased the blood glucose level of rats indicating hyperglycaemia. Treatment of the rats with the extract and fractions reduced the blood glucose level within 3 to 7 days of treatment. The standard antidiabetic, metformin (500 mg/kg) also showed similar effect. Extracts (250 and 500 mg/kg) of the crude extract decreased significantly (p<0.05) the blood glucose level. The antidiabetic potency of the extract and fractions were in the order of CE ˃ ethylacetate fraction > n-Hexane fraction > butanol fraction. The phytochemical screening of the extract and fractions revealed the presence of flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, glycosides etc.Conclusions: From the findings, S. liberica leaf posses antidiabetic activity which may be due to the phytochemical constituents present, and this justifies its use by local users as traditional remedy for diabetes mellitus.
Aspectos da tipicidade penal a partir da filosofia da informação
Authors: Diniz Thiago Dias de Matos
Published: July 2021

A Filosofia da Informação pode fornecer novas bases para o tratamento de conceitos tradicionalmente problemáticos da teoria do delito, especialmente daqueles compreendidos na tipicidade em seu aspecto subjetivo: a distinção entre dolo e culpa, sem cair nas aporias do objetivismo (funcionalismo sistêmico) ou do subjetivismo (finalismo). A partir de revisão de literatura focada na Filosofia da Informação de Luciano Floridi, extraem-se aportes conceituais para a delimitação do dolo, notadamente a partir das leis da entropia e da heteronomia do paciente, que permitem fundamentar os critérios doutrinários da sua caracterização, conforme a intensidade objetiva do perigo criado e o grau de vulnerabilidade concreto da vítima.

The correct rate of recognition for non defect log, non defect log and defect log as well as defect knot and dead knot can reach 95.6%.Finally, the "dead knot" and "loose knot" are quantitatively analyzed based on the "integral" idea, and the volume and surface area of the defect are obtained to a certain extent,the error is not more than 1.5% and the defect surface reconstruction is completed based on the triangulation idea.
Fault Coexistence and Grading Aware TSV Test based on Delay Feature
Authors: Hao Chang , Tianming Ni , Yong Xu , Feng Li , Houjun Liang , Yang Li
Published: July 2021

Screening out the defects in the TSV manufacturing process and eliminating the resistive open fault and leakage fault as early as possible are beneficial to improve the yield and reliability of 3D ICs. The existing prebond test methods are confined to the test accuracy and de- tection range, especially the test confusion prob- lem and the lack of diagnosable ability under the coexistence of multiple faults. Based on the uc- tuation of delay feature caused by faults, a kind of fault coexistence and grading aware TSV test method is proposed to enhance the yield and reli- ability of TSVs in this paper. The reference TSV and the TSV under test are input with test stim- uli simultaneously. Furthermore, the designed delay extraction circuit is utilized to generate the rising edge and the falling edge separately and additional fault grading circuit can be enriched according to the test requirements. Finally, a one bit comparator at the capture end is used to detect whether two pulse signals arrive simul- taneously, so as to determine whether there is a fault and the type of fault. The simulation results indicate that the detection range of resistive open fault is more than 281 , and the detection range of leakage fault is less than 223 M , which is bet- ter than most existing methods. While effective- ly solving resistive open fault and leakage fault, it can also successfully deal with the coexistence of two kinds of faults and achieve a 5-level fault grading ability with relatively low area overhead.
Research on a  Course －Factors Influencing Intention for Higher Level Study and Computing Language Confidence
Authors: Kim Jihee
Published: July 2021

This study surveyed students who took computer programming (Python) courses established as liberal arts education, and investigated their motivation for taking this class, their intentions of taking advanced courses, and their confidence in the computing language. The purpose of this study was to suggest improvements in education in light of the recent increase of such classes. The collected data was subjected to descriptive statistics analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis.
First, as a result of this study we found that the more knowledge the students gained about IT through the class, the more inclined they were to take an advanced course. Therefore, we can predict that the level of academic motivation felt by the students will increase when the students learn not only the technical aspects of programming in Python, but also knowledge related to the application of a programming course in society.
Second, the students said that the more helpful their tutor was, the more confident they became in their studies of Python, and the more their skill improved when it came to programming in this language. Furthermore, considering that tutors can play a key role in helping students to learn, and that their help has a significant influence on the confidence level of students, I strongly recommend that universities introduce a ‘tutoring system’ for increasing the effects of education.

Authors: Lee Byunglim
Published: July 2021

This research aimed to study the effects of both multicultural sensibility and empathic ability on civility. There were 239 participants, who are undergraduate students in colleges, randomly recruited from N and D cities. The scales used included multicultural sensibility, empathic ability, and civility, and the results analyzed reliability, correlation, and regression.
The results showed the following: first, the means of multicultural sensibility, empathic ability, and civility were 3.69, 4.08, and 3.96 respectively. Second, multicultural sensibility, empathic ability and civility had significantly meaningful positive correlations. Third, multicultural sensibility and empathic ability had a significant effect on civility. Finally, regarding relative influence, multicultural sensibility had more of an effect than empathic ability on civility.
To increase civility, a multidimensional approach is needed. University classes on civility, and general education classes on multicultural sensibility and empathic ability, need to be further developed.
A Study on University Students’ Perception on International Development Cooperation and Global Citizenship Education
Authors: Kim HaNi , Kim YoungHwan , Park JungSun
Published: July 2021

This study was conducted to understand the overall perceptions of university students toward International Development Cooperation (IDC) and global citizenship education. The results, based on survey data, are as follows.
First, university students agreed on the necessity of pursuing the goals of IDC and ODA projects. They reasoned that because South Koreans had benefited from foreign aid, they had a moral responsibility to contribute to the welfare of other developing countries. The students presented a high degree of agreement on the effectiveness of IDC projects in solving global problems, but they showed reluctance to the enlargement of the projects. The study revealed that the students were less aware of “2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”
Second, the study showed that undergraduates were willing to participate in IDC projects and global citizenship educations. From a macroscopic point of view, they showed an eagerness to help the poor in developing countries and be engaged in IDC projects due to their global concerns. From a microscopic view, they wanted to fulfill their sense of moral responsibility by participating in global citizenship education, which they believe might help them find a job and develop their career.
Third, undergraduates recognized that universities lack proper education on IDC and need to be equipped with a more enforced educational programs. Some of the students expected to receive multifaceted and up-to-date information on IDC via liberal arts courses.
The Effectiveness of Communication-Oriented Pronunciation Instruction and Students' Perception
Authors: Yu Kyung-ah
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this study is intended to empirically examine whether or not communication-oriented pronunciation teaching affects the English segmental and suprasegmental pronunciation improvements of Korean college learners, as well as their English speaking ability. The students who participated in this study were 26 college students, all of whom were taking an English pronunciation clinic course at a local university. Three types of pre and post-tests were conducted to find out how communication-oriented pronunciation teaching influenced the learners’ pronunciation. Namely, tests of consonant and vowel sound recognition, reading aloud tests, and picture description tests.
First, a total of 40 questions were given as pre-and post-pronunciation recognition evaluations to find out how accurately the students perceived the sounds of consonants and vowels. In addition, the students’ voices were recorded as they read dialogue readings both before and after the evaluation, in order to examine the degree of improvement of the segmental and suprasegmental features. Finally, the students were asked to describe certain pictures before and after the course to see if there were any beneficial effects regarding their pronunciation of English.
The findings showed that communication-oriented activities led to significant improvements, but only on the consonant recognition tests, not on the tests with vowels. The results from the reading aloud tests also demonstrated that the communication-oriented activities helped students to improve suprasegmental elements, such as stress, intonation, and rhythm. Moreover, there was a significant improvement in the speaking ability of the students, from which I can infer that communication-oriented activities have a positive effect on improving the students’ suprasegmentals, as well as their speaking ability.

A Study on the Educational Performance Analysis of Classical Education Based on Academic Interest Level
Authors: Kwon Soon Koo , Yoon Seungjoon
Published: July 2021

Recently, in higher education, both the necessity and the importance of a liberal education that contains an element of classical reading have been emphasized. However, it is difficult to find educational performance related with those educational programs. In order to investigate the educational performance of classical reading, surveys were given to students who were taking a ‘Reading Famous Writings’ course established at the Liberal Arts College of A university.
Moreover, to investigate the differences in the educational effects of classical education, we conducted additional analysis according to the level of individual interest. To this end, pre and post surveys were conducted, which included a classical education performance scale and an academic interest scale.
As a result of this study, we found that students who were taking this course improved certain competencies, namely, reading comprehension, communication, and creativity. In contrast, there was no improvement in academic interest, whether it be on an individual or situational level. However, we did find that the individual interest of students who were categorized as having a lower level of individual interest did indeed improve after taking this course. Through this study, we proved that some positive effects of a liberal education containing a classical reading element, especially as seen in the course called ‘Reading Famous Writings’, were experienced by the students.
The Obligatory Underwater Level: Posthuman Genealogy of Amphibian Human in Media
Authors: Serada Alesha Alesha
Published: July 2021

Will humankind ever be able to live underwater? To answer this question from the perspective of visual media studies, I analyze narrative and expressive means used for positive representation of underwater experiences in several examples of screen media. My examples are principally different by origin and yet united by their highly enjoyable effect of immersion into underwater worlds. My primary focus is on Amphibian Man (1928), a cult early science fiction novel by Alexandr Belyaev adapted for screen in 1962 in the USSR.I also explore its unintentionally close contemporary reproduction in The Shape of Water (2016), which even led to accusations in plagiarism. The third example is a contemporary independent video game ABZU by Giant Squid (2016), which replays the same theme of amphibian human existence in a positive light. These cases present a surprisingly rare view of a safe, friendly and interactive marine world, approached by the protagonist who can breathe underwater. I apply the posthumanist lens to find out that, surprisingly, aquatic cyborgs seem to be underrated by the queer thought (Haraway, 2015, 2016); I conclude that the model of ‘queer ecologies’ may become the needed development.
Analysis of Thief Identification Techniques using Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Saraswathy C. , Sarumathi S.
Published: July 2021

Theft is a major cause of violence around the world. Several valuable things are stolen as a result of security issues in the workplace, bank, and home. In previous years, a variety of techniques were used to reduce the risks. Two of these methods are burglar alarms and CCTV recording. However, these methods are inaccurate and disorganized due to a lack of human attention in such processes. Since such a system requires human maintenance to control the data collected by the camera, it presents a greater problem for shop or home owners. The that rate of crime causes people to struggle both financially and emotionally. As a result, there is a need to prevent theft and develop a security system. It has to be simple to use, free of false alarms, human interference-free, and cost-effective. The primary goal of this paper is to serve as both a concise overview and a reference by providing primary knowledge of various techniques used as well as various research opportunities in this field. A variety of methods for identifying the thief using artificial intelligence based on the face and behaviour recognition are demonstrated in this survey.
ТВОРБЕНИ ПОСТУПЦИ ЗА ГРАЂЕЊЕ СЛОЖЕНИХ РЕЧИ У РУСКОМ ЈЕЗИКУ
Authors: Лепојевић Јелена
Published: July 2021

Питање настанка сложених речи у руском и српском језику, као и њихо- во компарирање нису тако често тема научних интересовања и лингвистичких истраживања. Разлози томе су двојаки: док је у стручној литератури на руском говорном простору ово питање исцрпно истраживано и детаљно разјашњено, те је отуда простор за нова открића и теоријска померања минималан, дотле у српском дериватолошком микрокосмосу још увек нису сва тамна места ос- ветљена, а и у литератури се могу прочитати различити, често опречни ставо- ви, по многим питањима. Као професор руског језика којем је дериватологија посебно блиска и иза- зовна дисциплина, покушала сам да практично применим своја знања из ове области и на материјал из српског језика, да поређењем два врло блиска и срод- на словенска језика, будемо корак ближе решавању неких још увек отворених питања у области српске творбе. Овај монографски рад управо разматра специфичности творбе сложе- них речи – творбене поступке, мотивске основе, средства која су коришћена за образовање сложеница и сраслица, било да она карактеришу дати тип или су својствена појединачним случајевима образовања. Основни задатак ове монографске студије је да дâ обједињени приказ свих сегмената важних за сложене речи: дериватолошких, морфолошких, семантичких и стилистичких, а за поједине примере, када је то било посебно важно, чак и етимолошки. Монографија је намењена како широј јавности заинтересованој за питања настанка сложених речи тако и студентима на курсу Творба речи руског језика.
Intelectuais brasileiros sob a mira da censura franquista
Authors: De Lima Grecco Gabriela
Published: July 2021

A Ditadura de Francisco Franco impôs a censura literária desde os primeiros anos de estabelecimento do governo franquista. Neste contexto de extrema repressão, os espanhóis não puderam ter acesso a todos os livros que desejavam. O caso dos livros brasileiros representa uma parcela pequena, mas não por isso menos interessante, dos livros que tiveram que passar pela censura franquista. Entre os autores brasileiros que foram analisados pelas plumas da censura franquista entre 1936-1975 estavam os escritores Jorge Amado, Graciliano Ramos e José Lins do Rego. As obras destes autores brasileiros são ótimos exemplos para compreender como funcionou a censura literária de livros estrangeiros durante o regime franquista, mas também a própria censura franquista. Além disso, este artigo analisa, especificamente, a censura literária de livros brasileiros na Espanha franquista (1936-1975), buscando entender as principais razões dos censores (por meio de seus pareceres anexados às obras) para censurar ou aprovar as obras brasileiras.
Documentos de inteligência como fonte: o caso do Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
Authors: Martins Faria João Paulo
Published: July 2021

A proposta deste artigo é explorar as potencialidades e os limites dos documentos de agências de inteligência como fonte para os historiadores. Para isso, será usado o caso dos documentos do Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), especialmente durante os anos 1950 e 1960, quando a instituição investigou e monitorou de forma intensa vários movimentos sociais nos Estados Unidos. Com um histórico bastante repressivo em relação a minorias, organizações de esquerda, e até movimentos supremacistas brancos, o FBI produziu documentação farta sobre seus investigados. Apesar disso, a discussão teórico-metodológica sobre as fontes dessa agência é insuficiente, dado o caráter recente da historiografia sobre a instituição e as limitações de acesso aos arquivos do Bureau. Utilizando como base teórica de análise estudos sobre a atividade de inteligência e considerações sobre arquivologia, pretende-se discutir o olhar do historiador sobre os documentos de agências de informação.
Exílio e polêmicas intelectuais em Mariel Revista de Literatura y Arte (1983 - 1985): notas para um debate
Authors: Dias Alves de Sousa Pacelli
Published: July 2021

Este artigo busca analisar a configuração do discurso de uma revista literária e cultural produzida por exilados e refugiados cubanos: a Mariel Revista de Literatura y Arte, publicada entre 1983 e 1985, entre a Flórida e Nova Iorque. Apesar de sua breve vigência, a revista foi importante pela resposta histórica ao quinqüenio gris, à Crise do Mariel e, especialmente, pela discussão que propôs sobre a literatura daqueles anos e o cânon literário da ilha. O objetivo principal deste texto é estabelecer as relações, arquivos e intertextos que pareceram dar margem à enunciação da revista, tendo em vista as relações com as políticas culturais, tanto de Cuba quanto dos Estados Unidos, campo especialmente prolífico para os estudos de revistas culturais na América Latina. Nesse sentido, parte-se de uma análise da discursivização dos marielitos na cultura pública, a partir da mídia cubana, para então seguir a uma análise do editorial da revista, publicado no primeiro volume, bem como de alguns textos de polêmica com outros intelectuais do período.

SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHERS’ PEDAGOGICAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THEIR ASSESSMENT PRACTICES IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE WEST AKIM MUNICIPALITY, GHANA
Authors: Ghanney Robert Andrews , Agyei Edward Boafo
Published: July 2021

The study examined Social Studies teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge and its influence on their assessment practices in Junior High Schools in the West Akim Municipality in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The study was hinged on the Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) model by Shulman, (1986) and adopted the concurrent triangulation design with mixed methods approach. The census and convenience sampling techniques were used to select seventy-seven (77) and ten (10) respondents respectively for the study. Questionnaire, observation check list and document analysis were used by the researchers as instruments for data collection. These instruments were used to enable the researchers triangulate the information to test the consistency of the findings. A reliability analysis using Cronbach’s Alpha was performed to determine the internal consistency of each construct in the questionnaire and the observation checklist. The data obtained from the three instruments were analysed using descriptive statistics (frequency counts, percentages, mean and standard deviation). Inferential statistics (Pearson Product Moment Correlation) was used to test the stated hypothesis. The results indicated that generally, most of the JHS Social Studies teachers possessed some level of pedagogical content knowledge. Again, Social Studies teachers practice traditional assessment method (pen/pencil and paper). The results further pointed out that pedagogical content knowledge influence teachers’ assessment practices (r = .819**, sig. =.000** p < 0.05, CI=95%, n=77, 2-tailed). It is recommended that Social Studies teachers within the West Akim Municipality should make use of alternative assessment techniques as these other techniques will help cater for affective and psychomotor assessments which will help develop pupils’ attitudes and values.

Published: July 2021

ESTE ARTIGO PROPÕE DISCORRER ACERCA DOS FATORES QUE DIFICULTAM A PERMANÊNCIA DOS ALUNOS UNIVERSITÁRIOS ORIUNDOS DE ESCOLA PÚBLICA NO AMBIENTE UNIVERSITÁRIO. O TRABALHO FOI ORIUNDO DA DISCIPLINA DE METODOLOGIA DA PESQUISA EM EDUCAÇÃO, E SE DEU NA UNIVERSIDADE ESTADUAL DO CEARÁ COM OS ALUNOS DE DIFERENTES SEMESTRES DO CURSO DE CIÊNCIAS BIOLÓGICAS. POR HAVER UM GRANDE DEBATE SOBRE POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS DE ACESSO À UNIVERSIDADE, O TEXTO BUSCA ABORDAR A VIDA DOS ALUNOS QUE OBTIVERAM ÊXITO EM ENTRAR NA GRADUAÇÃO ANALISANDO COMO ELES ESTÃO ATUALMENTE E COMO SE SENTEM AO LIDAR COM AS DIFICULDADES QUE ENFRENTARAM OU QUE AINDA ENFRENTAM. A PARTIR DA METODOLOGIA DE HISTÓRIA DE VIDA, POR MEIO DE ENTREVISTAS, CONCLUIU-SE QUE MUITOS ALUNOS PASSAM SITUAÇÕES SEMELHANTES, REPETIDAS A CADA SEMESTRE, MAS QUE EXISTE UMA INVISIBILIDADE DESTES PROBLEMAS DENTRO DA INSTITUIÇÃO RESULTANDO NA FALTA DE APOIO PARA OS ESTUDANTES.

Authors: SAUMA FERREIRA DANIELA , RAFAELA ALVES PEREIRA SILVIA , YORRANA DA SILVA SOUZA EMILLY , DE NAZARÉ FARIAS LUCIANA
Published: July 2021

O ENSINO DE CITOLOGIA É UM DOS CONTEÚDOS BASE DA BIOLOGIA, E MUITOS ALUNOS ENCARAM COMO ALGO COMPLEXO E ABSTRATO, COMPROMETENDO O ENTENDIMENTO QUANTO AO FUNCIONAMENTO CELULAR. ASSIM, TENTANDO DISPOR DE UMA METODOLOGIA QUE FACILITE A APRENDIZAGEM, ESTE TRABALHO SE SUCEDEU NA PRODUÇÃO DE MODELOS DIDÁTICOS DE CÉLULAS VEGETAL E ANIMAL CONFECCIONADAS EM CROCHÊ. ESTE FOI UM MATERIAL DIDÁTICO REALIZADO POR GRADUANDAS DO CURSO DE LIC. PLENA EM CIÊNCIAS BIOLÓGICAS DA UNIVERSIDADE DO ESTADO DO PARÁ, COMO PARTE DA AVALIAÇÃO DE UMA DISCIPLINA DO CURSO, CULMINANDO NA I MOSTRA DE ENSINO EM UMA ESCOLA PÚBLICA. E PARA ANÁLISE E AVALIAÇÃO DA ESTRATÉGIA REALIZAMOS A APLICAÇÃO DE QUESTIONÁRIOS PARA OS DISCENTES DA MESMA TURMA, QUE AVALIARAM POSITIVAMENTE A METODOLOGIA, CONSIDERANDO SER UM MATERIAL INTERESSANTE, LÚDICO, INOVADOR, QUE PRENDE A ATENÇÃO, FACILITA A VISUALIZAÇÃO DAS ESTRUTURAS TIRANDO-AS DA IMAGINAÇÃO, ALÉM DE INSTIGAR A CURIOSIDADE E PROPORCIONAR INTERAÇÃO ENTRE ALUNO E CONTEÚDO.
CIÊNCIA E RELIGIÃO: PRIMEIRAS APROXIMAÇÕES ONTOLÓGICAS PARA A PESQUISA EM ENSINO
Authors: VICENTE ALFAYA DOS SANTOS JOÃO , CEZAR AMORIM DE OLIVEIRA MARIO , D'AQUINO ROSA MARCELO
Published: July 2021

O PRESENTE ARTIGO É UMA INVESTIGAÇÃO TEÓRICA, ORIENTADO POR UMA PERSPECTIVA ONTOLÓGICA DE CUNHO MARXISTA. CONSIDERA-SE QUE (1) A ÁREA DE ENSINO SE CONSOLIDOU COMO UM CAMPO DE INVESTIGAÇÃO PROFUNDAMENTE ENRAIZADO NA ABORDAGEM DA TEORIA DO CONHECIMENTO OU EPISTEMOLOGIA E (2) QUE DIVERSAS PESQUISAS VÊM PROCURANDO ABORDAR A RELAÇÃO ENTRE ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS E RELIGIÃO A PARTIR DE TROCAS CULTURAIS OU PELO DESENVOLVIMENTO COGNITIVO DE CONCEITOS CIENTÍFICOS. DEFENDE-SE NESTE TRABALHO QUE O TRAJETO SEGUIDO POR ESSAS PESQUISAS SEGUEM O MESMO CAMINHO PROPOSTO PELO CARDEAL BELARMINO NO SÉCULO XVII, SEPARANDO O CONHECIMENTO DO MUNDO (VERDADES CIENTÍFICAS) DO SER DO PRÓPRIO MUNDO (VERDADES ONTOLÓGICAS), ABRINDO ESPAÇO PARA TODA SORTE DE MANIPULAÇÃO, INCLUINDO A RELIGIOSA. EM TEMPOS DE OBSCURANTISMO RELIGIOSO, FAZ-SE UMA DEFESA QUE PESQUISAS QUE PRETENDAM INVESTIGAR A RELAÇÃO ENTRE CIÊNCIA E RELIGIÃO, SE QUISEREM CHEGAR A RESULTADOS DIFERENTES DA SOLUÇÃO BELARMINIANA, DEVEM SE PAUTAR POR UMA ABORDAGEM ONTOLÓGICA.

Authors: ALMEIDA DE PAULO BRENA , PEREIRA SILVEIRA ANDRÉA , MARIA ARAÚJO DE AGUIAR CAMILA
Published: July 2021

O ENSINO DE BIOLOGIA NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA AINDA É MARCADO PELA MEMORIZAÇÃO DE CONCEITOS, SEM QUE HAJA RELAÇÃO DESTES COM O COTIDIANO DO ALUNO. COM O INTUITO DE CONTRIBUIR PARA MODIFICAR ESSA REALIDADE, AS ATIVIDADES LÚDICAS SE CONFIGURAM COMO METODOLOGIAS ATRATIVAS E FACILITADORAS DO PROCESSO EDUCACIONAL. EM VISTA DISSO, DESENVOLVEMOS UMA PESQUISA DE CARÁTER QUALITATIVO, QUE CONSISTIU EM CONHECER AS PERCEPÇÕES DE ESTUDANTES DO 1º ANO DO ENSINO MÉDIO DE UMA ESCOLA PÚBLICA DE ITAPIPOCA-CEARÁ, ACERCA DA UTILIZAÇÃO DE JOGOS DIDÁTICOS NO ENSINO DE BIOLOGIA, BEM COMO INVESTIGAMOS AS IMPRESSÕES DO JOGO “CONHECENDO A CÉLULA”, ELABORADO PARA ESTA ATIVIDADE. UTILIZAMOS QUESTIONÁRIOS CUJAS RESPOSTAS FORAM ANALISADOS PELO MÉTODO DE ANÁLISE DE CONTEÚDO DE BARDIN. REGISTRAMOS QUE O JOGO DIDÁTICO EM CONJUNTO COM A AULA EXPOSITIVO-DIALOGADA FACILITOU A COMPREENSÃO DO ASSUNTO. CONCLUÍMOS QUE ESSAS ATIVIDADES AO ALIAR ENSINO E LUDICIDADE, DESENVOLVERAM NOS ALUNOS À MOTIVAÇÃO E O PRAZER EM APRENDER.
