As crianças sem terrinha e o enfrentamento à pandemia de covid-19: como brincar, sorrir e lutar nesse contexto?
Authors: Ramos Márcia Mara , Leite Valter de Jesus , Rezende Janaína Ribeiro de
Published: August 2021

A pandemia do novo coronavírus escancara as consequências da crise econômica, política, sanitária, ambiental e civilizatória oriunda do modo de desenvolvimento capitalista. Tais contradições expõem ainda mais as crianças e mulheres às condições de vulnerabilidade e violação de direitos. A suspensão das aulas presenciais, o trabalho remoto ou a manutenção do trabalho presencial, bem como o desemprego e a instabilidade econômica provocaram o aumento da violência doméstica. O Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra – MST, busca enfrentar essas circunstâncias por meio da produção de alimentos saudáveis e da solidariedade, expressa na doação de comida às populações ameaçadas pelo vírus e a fome. A promoção da cultura, da literatura e do brincar das crianças Sem Terrinha, persistem enquanto forma de resistir ativamente e esperançar em meio à pandemia, combinado à disputa do sentido da educação, ao se opor à mercantilização e esvaziamento do processo formativo da classe trabalhadora.

Published: August 2021

Este artigo objetiva identificar, analisar e dar visibilidade às práticas de educação em valores desenvolvidas nos espaços intraescolares, com ênfase no papel atribuído à Educação Física neste desígnio conjuntural. Para tanto realizamos um estudo de caso em uma escola da rede pública do município de Vitória/ES, reconhecida por desenvolver um trabalho significativo na localidade em que está inserida. Os resultados demonstraram que a Educação Física é considerada como sendo potencialmente eficaz para o engendramento de práticas de educação em valores, sobretudo, em decorrência do clima afetivo empreendido nos seus espaços pedagógicos. Assim, conclui-se que é fundamental tornar exequível tal propósito educativo em toda a escola, pautando-se, para tanto, numa prática testemunhal.
Formar para inovar em Educação Física: bases para a produção de inovação na educação básica
Authors: Santos Marcio Antonio Raiol dos , Santos Carlos Afonso
Published: August 2021

Este ensaio traz reflexões sobre inovação na formação inicial para a licenciatura e objetiva analisar bases teóricas, normativas e vivenciais que impulsionam o trato com esse fenômeno no curso de ensino superior da Educação Física. Observamos que a emergência da inovação como elemento de reflexão na formação docente em Educação Física advém de sua demarcação em diretrizes curriculares e de sua exploração teórico-metodológica em projetos pedagógicos e no currículo. Além disso, o cotidiano vivido precisa proporcionar em suas diversas atividades de ensino, pesquisa e extensão o desenvolvimento profissional de professores que entendam a inovação e suas características como uma das fontes para atuação com qualidade na escola básica. A modelação curricular, por exemplo, representa um dos conceitos que, trabalhado no ensino superior, permitem pensar e experimentar a inovação no currículo, atribuindo a esse objeto um caráter ampliado, dinâmico e flexível, favorecendo a existência de práticas inovadoras na Educação Física.
A escola sem corpo: considerações acerca da crise de legitimidade da Educação Física
Authors: Bezerra Harrison de Souza , Furtado Renan Santos
Published: August 2021

Este trabalho consiste em discutir a crise de legitimidade da Educação Física escolar a partir da categoria “corpo”. Questiona-se sobre o descrédito da disciplina na ambiência escolar, apesar da sua legalidade e inquestionáveis avanços teóricos. Destaca a relação intrínseca entre corpo e escola na consolidação do projeto capitalista. Avança nas reflexões, contextualizando o debate em torno do Movimento Renovador da Educação Física, especialmente sobre a pedagogia crítica de orientação marxista. Aponta limites nas suas acepções de corpo, no geral, instrumentalizado em prol da assimilação de conteúdo mental ou da consciência crítica. Não se trata, com isto, de negar as formas clássicas de educação escolar, mas de afirmar o lugar do corpo, e, para extensão, das práticas corporais e da Educação Física na escolarização de crianças, jovens e adultos, já que a própria estrutura (física e teórica) escolar foi historicamente projetada de modo a negar e imobilizar a corporalidade dos indivíduos.

Authors: Hussein Amin Nouran , Chu Virginia W. , Davis Sheena
Published: August 2021

Date Presented 04/13/21

Proprioception is the subconscious and conscious awareness of one's body, usually referred to as a sense of self in space. This pilot study used an observational design to assess proprioception and motor performance and discovered a strong relationship between high scores on the BOT and successful performance. This research supports a relationship between proprioceptive deficits and motor proficiency. Our proprioceptive assessments can be further developed for clinical use.

Prospective Memory Assessed by the Virtual Week in Older Adults With HIV
Authors: Pinpin Yves Carlo , Foster Erin , Ances Beau M.
Published: August 2021

Date Presented 04/21/21

Prospective memory (PM) impairment is common and limits daily function among individuals with HIV. We investigated PM and the relationships between PM, clinical characteristics, and cognitive test performance among older adults with HIV. Time-based PM tasks are problematic in this population potentially due to their memory and executive function demands. Thus, OT practitioners should implement compensatory strategies based on event-based PM to increase participation in meaningful activities.

Parents’ Support of Their Child’s Playfulness: Differences in Paternal and Maternal Behaviors During Joint Play Experiences
Authors: Waldman-Levi Amiya
Published: August 2021

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

Societal changes in parental roles affect family dynamics; hence, it is imperative to understand the unique characteristics of and contributions of mothers and fathers to child playfulness. This knowledge will better equip OTs to implement interventions based on the type and quality of support provided by parents toward their child’s playfulness. Incorporating strategies tailored to parental joint play styles may have a greater effect on the child’s developmental needs.

Published: August 2021

Date Presented 04/9/21

This study is the first to compare total and change scores of Section GG to the FIM® for patients with stroke receiving care at inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs). The study’s findings show Section GG has relatively similar response patterns in self-care and mobility as the FIM. Our findings help OTs better understand Section GG and associated regional variations for patients with stroke and potential implications in IRF practice.

First Steps Toward Promoting Paradoxical Lucidity: Meaningful Engagement When Least Expected at the End of Life
Authors: Robnett Regula H. , Meuser Thomas , Michael Claire , Garside Mary , Gibson Brandon
Published: August 2021

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

This mixed-methods exploratory study provides an overview of witnessed events of paradoxical (unexpected) lucidity displayed by people with major cognitive decline who were often close to death. Fifty respondents shared their stories. Gaining an understanding of the antecedents of paradoxical lucidity, such as music or other sensory stimulation, could lead to interventions that promote these emotional and often meaningful events of re-engagement near the end of life.
