A sobrecarga de trabalho do professor pode causar desafios para os professores, levando a esgotamento a longo prazo, se não forem abordados. Consequentemente, o presente estudo tem como objetivo examinar as fontes de prevenção de burnout das perspectivas dos supervisores de EFL (inglês como língua estrangeira). Os participantes foram 85 supervisores iranianos de EFL, cujo trabalho era observar e dar feedback aos professores sobre seu desempenho no ensino em vários níveis de proficiência linguística, do nível básico ao avançado. Um método misto sequencial foi empregado neste estudo. Primeiro, a coleta de dados qualitativos foi realizada por meio de entrevistas com 30 participantes, a fim de determinar as fontes de prevenção de burnout na perspectiva dos supervisores. Em seguida, foi elaborado um questionário de prevenção de burnout, utilizando os resultados das entrevistas, após o qual foi aplicado aos demais participantes. Os dados coletados foram analisados por fatores para identificar os componentes do construto de prevenção de burnout. Os resultados da análise de conteúdo dos dados da entrevista indicaram que o apoio dos professores de seus colegas, a situação menos estressante e a satisfação no trabalho foram as principais fontes de prevenção de burnout. A análise fatorial mostrou as mesmas fontes de burnout que os principais componentes do construto de prevenção de burnout. As conclusões deste estudo enfatizam a contribuição do apoio educacional e emocional dos professores, proporcionando um local de trabalho construtivo e saudável, bem como a renda desejável como formas de prevenção do esgotamento nos professores de EFL.

SERIAM OS FUNCIONÁRIOS ACRÍTICOS E DESCONHECEDORES DO QUE FAZ UM ESTUDANTE GOSTAR DE SUA ESCOLA?
Authors: Cajado Bruno , Lesquives Heitor , Maknamara Marlécio
Published: December 2019

Embora tenham conquistado reconhecimento de que também são educadores, os funcionários das escolas ainda são pouco frequentes em pesquisas sobre como sujeitos da educação escolar pensam e atuam. Dito isso, fizemos a indagação aos funcionários de escolas públicas soteropolitanas sobre quais fatores ou aspectos fariam um estudante gostar de sua escola. O material empírico foi constituído por 37 respostas à pergunta “o que faz um aluno gostar de sua escola?” e analisado segundo inspiração da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados foram organizados em oito grupos característicos: múltiplos fatores, assistencialista ou bom tratamento, ensino-aprendizagem, qualidade empresarial-tecnicista, estrutura concomitantemente com ensino-aprendizagem, localidade (segurança), futuro dos discentes, e os próprios alunos. Percebemos também que quase um terço dos funcionários consideram vários fatores agindo concomitantemente pelo bem estar dos estudantes, embora por vezes inspirados de ideias neoliberais. Com tais análises, concluímos que esses funcionários não estão alheios aos problemas (e acertos) das escolas, sendo sujeitos heterogêneos, ativos e críticos.
OCUPAÇÕES DAS ESCOLAS PÚBLICAS NO RS: SOCIALIZAÇÃO POLÍTICA, REPRESENTAÇÃO E LIDERANÇA ENTRE SECUNDARISTAS
Authors: Severo Ricardo Gonçalves , Barcellos Sérgio Botton Barcellos Botton , San Segundo Mário Augusto Correia
Published: December 2019

O artigo tem como questão central analisar como se constitui a percepção do papel das lideranças e representação por parte dos (as) estudantes secundaristas que realizaram ocupações nas escolas estaduais durante o ano de 2016 no Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil. A pesquisa qualitativa foi realizada em 2016 em duas cidades (Pelotas e Rio Grande), com posterior entrevista com informante de ocupação em escola na cidade de Porto Alegre, no ano de 2017. Como procedimentos de pesquisa foram realizados dez grupos de discussão e aplicação de questionário semiestruturado a sessenta e cinco estudantes com idades entre doze e dezenove anos e uma entrevista semiestruturada com informante de ocupação em Porto Alegre. Percebeu-se duas visões centrais sobre liderança, sendo a primeira do grupo dos que não reconhecem a existência de liderança e tem uma visão considerada negativa sobre esta categoria, relacionando-a ao formalismo, autoritarismo e ausência ou distância, apontando como modelo ideal formas horizontais de organização. O segundo grupo identifica lideranças e compreendem-nas como aqueles que realizavam maior parte das tarefas e que estão mais imersos no cotidiano das ocupações. O que é comum entre os grupos é que é considerada legítima a participação em termos de intensidade e envolvimento com a pauta.

Authors: Kulsum Umi , Sobarna Cece , Nur Tajudin , P. Wagiati
Published: December 2019

This study aimed to describe the function and the meaning of adapun in Indonesia and also the appropriate sentence structure of adapun. This writing uses a qualitative method with descriptive data and extended examples, based on the empirical facts or phenomena that are relevant to the lives of the users, and discussion. Data collection is done by note taking (library research) - gathering research data. Data sources are derived from print media, scientific writing, and textbooks. We conclude that the function of adapun has a close linkage with the above-mentioned conjunction. The meanings of adapun were: (1) adding information and explaining the previous sentence, (2) usher in the parsing, (3) stating something different but in the same domain, and (4) stating further information. Most of the predicates that contain adapun include the word adalah (“there is/are”), so in large measure, the context is regarded as stating a definition. In general, the sentence pattern that contains adapun is a simple sentence with the subject that is generally in the form of long phrases and the pattern is S-P-O-A.

Published: December 2019

In the context of globalization, the growth of the competitive environment at the interregional, national levels in the field of innovation development, the role of higher education as the main source of human resources and the formation of the innovation environment increases. The low level of development of higher education deprives the region of a certain independence, placing it in additional dependence on other systems - regional, national, economic, etc. In this regard, the study of trends in the development of higher education at the interregional level is an extremely urgent task, the solution of which will provide a process of monitoring and forecasting the prospects for the development of socio-economic systems in the medium and long term. At the same time, despite a wide range of scientific works devoted to the problem, there is still no unity in the scientific space in the sphere of formal evaluation of the effectiveness of the development of regional higher education systems. In this regard, this study proposes approaches aimed at methodological support of solving the problem. The main feature of the work is the use of methods of comparison of input and output stream values, characterizing the parameters of the regional higher school. Using the approaches of rationing of the analyzed indicators and the subsequent development on this basis of the efficiency indices, multicomponent calculations are carried out, evaluating the indicators, characterizing the return on invested capital of regional higher education systems in the form of an integrated assessment of their effectiveness per 1 ruble of financial costs. As a result of the implemented assessments, the regions of the Volga Federal district are identified, characterized by moderate and strong positions in the field of generating effects, characterizing their effectiveness in comparison with the invested financial resources.

Setting an agenda for geotourism
Authors: Newsome David , Dowling Ross K.
Published: December 2019

Travel to and appreciation of natural landscapes and geological phenomena continues to grow as a niche area of tourism. Despite economic recessions, political problems, the increasing price of oil and even the risk of natural disasters, such as volcanic eruptions, people still yearn for new experiences and need to fulfil that deep aspect our humanity, which is having a sense of wonder about the planet we live on. It is our belief that
geotourism will continue to rise as an important tourism activity as our planet becomes increasingly overcrowded, as wild places continue to be diminished and people strive for sustainable lifestyles and authentic natural experiences.
The Cretaceous fossil sites of South Korea identifying geosites, science and geotourism
Authors: Paik In Sung , Huh Min , Kim Hyun Joo , Kim Sook Ju , Newsome David
Published: December 2019

There are a range of natural resources for geotourism in Korea, including scenic mountains with variable geological histories, hot springs, and coastline environments. Many of the national and provincial parks and natural monuments in Korea have been designated because of their geological values. Three sites on Jeju Island have been inscribed on the World Heritage list largely for geological values such as volcanic features and landscape and associated scenic values. Furthermore, there are many geological heritage sites designated as natural monuments in Cretaceous sedimentary basins in Korea. They include dinosaur fossil sites and geologically scenic sites. The former are of great scientific importance and many have the potential to be developed into geotourism destinations of global significance. Five sites, on the Korean Cretaceous Deinosaur Coast which have been very important for regional tourism, are currently being nominated as World Heritage for their highly significant fossil trackways and dinosaur eggs. The full gambit of geotourism potential for Korean geological heritage has rarely been studied (Jeong, 2000; Heo et al., 2006a; Heo et al., 2006b; Heo, 2007). In this chapter the Cretaceous geosites in Korea are summarized in respect to their importance as globally significant geotourism resources.
Geotourism product interpretation Rangitoto Island, Auckland, New Zealand
Authors: Wittlich Christian , Palmer Sarah
Published: December 2019

Rangitoto Island, an island of volcanic origin, is a unique geotourism attraction and landmark of Auckland, New Zealand, capturing the attention of tourists since 1890. The island’s symmetrical cone and lava slopes rise gradually from the sea, making the shield volcano an iconic landmark for Auckland residents and a popular urban recreation area for domestic and international visitors. This chapter focuses on the effectiveness of different types of interpretive media (e.g. information signs and guided tours) as educative tools for geotourism which occurs in an urban context. It is based on a study which investigated which media were used most, how much visitors learned from them and whether visitors had a preference for a particular medium. While a number of publications address cultural and historical aspects of the island (Murdoch, 1991; Graham, 2005; Philips-Gibson, 2006; Kearns and Collins, 2006) and Rangitoto’s natural history (Wilcox, 2007), no publications have investigated tourism on the island and there has been no visitor evaluation of the island and its interpretive media.
Geotourism potential in North Carolina perspectives from interpretation at state parks
Authors: Supak Stacy , Leung Yu-Fai , Stewart Kevin
Published: December 2019

Established in 1789 as the 12th state, North Carolina lies in the eastern seaboard of the United States of America between the Appalachian mountain range and the Atlantic Ocean. It is ranked 28th with respect to its size (139,389 square kilometers) and is the 10th most populated state with 9.1 million residents as of 2007 (US Census Bureau, 2008). The state was known for its farming/tobacco, textile and furniture industries, but substantial transformation has taken place over the past few decades and now the service industry, led by tourism, is the major part of the state’s economy (Gade, 2008). North Carolina has a unique and rich natural heritage which includes geological, landscape and biological resources that span three physiographic regions: the Appalachian Mountains, the Piedmont Plateau and the Coastal Plain (Horton et al., 1991; Stewart and Roberson, 2007). This natural heritage forms an integral part of the network of attractions enticing local, out-of-state and international tourists, who spent over $17 billion in the state and generated almost 200,000 jobs in 2007 (TIA, 2008). Indeed, North Carolina’s tourism promotional material (e.g., travel guides, brochures, websites) routinely highlight physical landscapes such as the Great Smoky Mountains, peaks like Pilot Mountain and geomorphic features such as waterfalls. Many of these geological features and attractions can be found in North Carolina’s state park (NCSP) system, which received over 12.8 million visitors in 2007– 2008 (Leung et al., 2009), with an estimated annual economic impact of $289 million to local economies (NCDPR, 2009). Landform-dependent recreation opportunities draw tourists to the state as well, with skiers enjoying the mountains and kitesurfers flocking to sandy beaches at the Outer Banks. In addition, mineral hunting has become a popular tourist activity with several independent contractors offering mine tours, cave tours and gemstone mining.
Interpretation rocks Designing signs for geotourism sites
Authors: Hughes Karen , Ballantyne Roy
Published: December 2019

Nature-based tourism experiences are attracting increasing numbers of visitors worldwide, a phenomenon that has been attributed to a range of factors including greater flexibility in terms of leisure, mobility and disposable income; a growing public awareness of environment issues; and the desire to escape from ‘everyday’ routines (Waitt, 2000). Researchers have termed the learning that occurs in these tourism settings ‘free-choice learning’ because people are free to choose what, where, when and with whom they learn (Falk, 2001). Information and educational activities delivered during free-choice learning experiences are generally referred to as interpretation. A term originally coined by Tilden (1957), interpretation is a form of communication that presents ideas and concepts in a format that is designed to interest, entertain and inspire visitors (Ballantyne et al., 2000). Unlike education in formal settings, interpretation does not consist of lists of facts, figures, and dates but rather, users illustrative media, first-hand experiences and original objects to impart meaning and demonstrate relationships (Tilden, 1977).
The UNESCO global network of national geoparks

Published: December 2019

Today, at the start of the 21st century we can look back over a century that has seen enormous advances in our understanding of how our planet functions. While we might still not be able to predict exactly when an earthquake will happen or exactly when a volcano will erupt, we know why these phenomena occur. We know how and why mountain ranges are formed and we know how the very face of our planet changes over millions of years as the tectonic plates of the Earth’s crust continue their relentless move over the surface of the planet. But it wasn’t always like this. For centuries, people had no clear understanding of Earth processes. Nevertheless, people were in awe of their landscape and of the planet’s natural phenomena and stories, myths and legends arose to help explain them. We, as geoscientists, now have explanations for all these phenomena. However, perhaps we should ask ourselves: How successful are we at sharing this knowledge with those with no formal geological training? Moreover, how good are we at preserving these phenomena and special landscapes for future generations. Many people today still ask the same questions our ancestors of long ago asked. Yet, all across our planet we have places where the amazing story of our planet can be told to the non-specialist without the need for the use of the esoteric language so often employed by geoscientists. Moreover these places should be conserved for the future. But it should not be our aim to conserve them in a sterile way where only the geoscientist can visit, it should be our aim to conserve in a way that the local communities can take ownership of these places and where they can feel that these places contribute positively to their everyday lives.
The future of geotourism where to from here
Authors: Newsome David , Dowling Ross K.
Published: December 2019

Geotourism is on the rise the world over. Governments, tourism businesses, geological organizations, community groups, conservationists, NGOs, and individuals are seeking a future for the protection of our geological heritage and community advancement through sustainable tourism development. Countries as far apart as New Zealand and Iceland, USA and China, are getting involved and lifting our knowledge on geology and landscape, through interpretation and education. The future is exciting for geotourism as evidenced by the increased interest in geological awareness, the phenomenal rise of the Geopark Movement, and the rising interest in geotourism as a tool for conservation of our geoheritage.

An introduction to Centralized Data Management (CDM) is given and its potential benefits for PoG and geotourism are investigated. Additionally, the pathway for producing CDM-driven geotourism is explored. Finally, practical examples that were planned and realized by the author introduce the use of CDM systems.
Promoting geotourism a case study from Northeast Iceland
Authors: Hull John S.
Published: December 2019

Iceland is becoming a popular venue for nature-based tourism enthusiasts interested in exploring Arctic environments for scenic and recreational purposes (ITB 2009; Gossling and Alkimou 2006). Visitation to Iceland is expanding exponentially, generating significant revenue and income, making tourism the third largest foreign currency earner for the Icelandic economy. In 2006, total tourism receipts were measured at 47 billion Icelandic kroner (ISK), contributing 4.1 per cent to the nation’s GDP, and providing 12.7 per cent of the country’s income from foreign sources (Rannsoknir and Radgjof Ferdapjonustunnar 2008). In 2007, over 530,000 international tourists visited Iceland with over 80 per cent first-time visitors mainly from Europe and North America (Rannsoknir and Radgjof Ferdapjonustunnar 2008). The Icelandic Tourism Board (ITB 2007) identifies that the vast natural resources - glaciers, volcanos, geysers, and untamed wilderness - are some of the most important reasons contributing to the present 7 percent annual growth rate in visitation (Gossling and Hultman 2006). The most popular leisure activity of visitors is nature observation (ITB 2007). Outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, boat tours, jeep and glacier tours, snowmobile excursions, and horseback riding are also popular throughout the island. Overall, visitor motivation to Iceland is based on romanticized notions of the unique wilderness and the grandness of the landscape and tourist experiences that recreate a ‘natural’ image of the island (Gossling and Alkimou 2006; Gossling and Hultman 2006).
Management of geotourism stakeholders experiences from the Network History of the Earth
Authors: Pforr Christof , Megerle Andreas
Published: December 2019

A sharp increase in interest in geotourism worldwide in recent years has transformed many suitable regions into unique geotourism destinations opening up great opportunities for geoconservation and regional sustainable development. To fully capitalize on this potential, however, it is essential to bring together the fragmented stakeholders from the public and private sectors and establish appropriate structures and processes to facilitate their effective communication and collaboration. Only through such a partnership can an adequate knowledge base, built on diverse experiences and expertise, be established to provide certainty and guidance in the sustainable development of local geotourism products. Thus, effective communication networks and an open exchange of information are cornerstones of a successful implementation of geotourism in a region. The Network History of the Earth is a case in point for such a successful geotourism partnership. It was founded in 1997 as a framework for cooperation between a range of diverse stakeholders working together to develop a high quality sustainable tourism product based on the unique georesources of South-West Germany (Pforr and Megerle, 2006). South-West Germany mainly comprises the State of Baden-Württemberg and covers an area of 35,752 square kilometres with a population of around 10.7 million people (see Figure 8.3). A typical feature of the state is its wide variety of natural landscapes which can be subdivided into three main landforms, the Upper Rhine Graben (Oberrheingraben) in the west surrounded by the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) in the east and the Vosges Mountains (Vogesen) on the western French side, the southwestern cuesta landscape (Schichtstufenland) gently sloping towards the south-east as well as the Alpine piedmont (Alpenvorland). These diverse and distinct landscapes form the resource base of tourism, and, in some cases, like the jurassic geopark Swabian Alb and the mining areas of the Black Forest, also for geotourism (Geyer and Megerle, 2003). The service sector industries contribute almost 34 per cent to the state’s economic activities with tourism being an important industry for the state in general, but especially economically significant for regional areas.
Geotourism in the Hawaiian Islands
Authors: King Lisa M.
Published: December 2019

Situated almost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Hawaiian Islands are not only one of the most isolated places in the world (Juvic and Juvic, 1998), but also one of one of the most isolated places in the world (Juvic and Juvic, 1998), but also one of the best known. Hawaii's acclaimed natural attractions stem from its volcanic origins - tall mountains deeply eroded by tropical rains and waterfalls into rugged gorges and valleys, a spectacular backdrop for world-class beaches, dramatic volcanic landscapes and forests. The state consists of six main islands: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Lanai and Hawaii Island, also known as the Big Island. Two lesser known islands, Niihau and Kahoolawe, are not open to conventional tourism. Tens of smaller, much older islands, northwest of the main island chain, are protected by-and-large within the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument.

On the Plurality of Environmental Regimes of Anticipation
Authors: Dolez Antoine , Céline Granjou , Séverine Louvel
Published: December 2019

In recent years, the social sciences have increasingly investigated ways in which futures are anticipated, fostered, and pre-empted. However, less attention has been given to how various predictive approaches inform different ways of acting in the present. Our article presents the results of an investigation into the current practices and agendas of forest scientists and managers in France. We first suggest how an anticipation of environmental futures is coming to the fore as an emerging field of expertise and practices in forest sciences, including predicting but also monitoring, preparing and adapting to projected futures. We then account for the co-existence of three “micro-regimes” of anticipation combining a certain approach to the forest, a certain vision of the future, and a certain type of scientific predictive approach, including different anticipatory objectives, different modelling practices, and different interactions between research and management: i/ Adapting forestry to future climates; ii/ Predicting Future Tree Biology; iii/ Monitoring forests as indicators of climate change.
Organising Policy-Relevant Knowledge for Climate Action
Authors: Cointe Béatrice , Cassen Christophe , Nadaï Alain
Published: December 2019

Greenhouse gas emission scenarios are key in analyses of human interference with the climate system. They are mainly produced by one category of computer models: Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs). We analyse how IAM research organised into a community around the production of socio-economic scenarios during the preparation of the IPCC AR5 (2005-2014). We seek to describe the co-emergence of a research community, its instruments, and its domain of applicability. We highlight the role of the IPCC process in the making of the IAM community, showing how IAMs worked their way to an influent position. We then survey three elements of the repertoire that served to organise collective work on scenarios in interaction with the IPCC and the European Union, and which now frames the community and its epistemic practices. This repertoire needs to articulate epistemic practices with the pursuit of policy relevance, which shows how epistemic communities and patterns of co-production materialise in practical arrangements.
Inventing Prediction for Regulation
Authors: Boullier Henri , Demortain David , Zeeman Maurice
Published: December 2019

In policies targeting environmental and health hazards, an effort is frequently made to anticipate and avert more or less probable adverse events. In this context, computerized models are frequently portrayed as superior knowledge tools, for their capacity to extrapolate from existing data and predict hazards. This paper looks at the historical development and use of such models in regulation, with the specific example of structure-activity relationships (SARs) in the regulation of new industrial chemicals at the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It asks how evidential culture(s) in a regulatory organization change, in particular how new methods and forms of knowledge find their place alongside others to forge regulatory decisions. The development and application of, first, a qualitative approach to structure-activity relationships, and then of quantitative models, show that the EPA had the necessary autonomy to imagine and adjust a method emerging in the research environment to respond to regulatory needs. This can be understood from a coproductionist perspective, if adjusted to take into account the bureaucratic knowledge that mediates the imagining and application of prediction in regulatory practice.
