Content interaction in online university courses: the start@unito project
Authors: Salusso Daniela , Cicillini Stefania
Published: July 2019

The growing number of online courses offered by many universities worldwide is reshaping the traditional delivery of knowledge. This study tries to combine e-learning and the learning principles of language and linguistics. Drawing on the experience of the start@unito project at the University of (blinded), which this year also offers language and linguistics courses, we tackle one of the main problems of online education, namely that of interaction. This study tries to combine e-learning and the learning principles of language and linguistics, focusing on the three types of interaction proposed by Moore (1989): learner-learner, learner-instructor, learner-content interactions. Specifically, we concentrate on the various ways in which learners may interact with the content in asynchronous untutored online university courses. Starting from the assumption that all the language and linguistics courses need a great deal of interaction, in order to be beneficial to students, it emerges that the application of pedagogical approaches and a careful instructional design of the courses may facilitate a more effective interaction with the content of the object of study.
Recruitment policies in Spanish universities, a case study: Teaching and research quality
Authors: Pascual-Fuster Bartolomé
Published: July 2019

This article analyzes research and teaching quality of the faculty members of the Department of Business Economics of “Universitat de les Illes Balears” (UIB) depending on the origin of their Doctor degree (local or external). This department changed the recruitment policy, from the traditional policy of hiring the own doctorate students to the policy of hiring doctorate students from other universities. Faculty members with an external Doctor degree were recruited mainly in the Spanish Job Market, most of them obtained the Doctor degree in a high-quality doctorate program, and were focused on research. Taking into account several control variables, such as age and specialization area, we obtain that faculty members with external Doctor degree show statistically significant better research quality indicators, and present no significant differences in teaching quality indicators than faculty members with a UIB Doctor degree. Therefore, we conclude that the recruitment policy of the department increased research quality without hurting teaching quality. This represents an indirect analysis of the relationship between research and teaching quality, showing a strategy to improve one without hurting the other. However, when we analyze the direct relationship between research and teaching quality we obtain some weak evidence of a negative relationship.
A collaborative game-based learning to enhance ecological economics teaching
Authors: Hoyos David , Sigüenza Waleska , Capellán-Pérez Iñigo , Campos Álvaro , Álvarez-Antelo David
Published: July 2019

Game-based learning refers to the use of game thinking and mechanics to engage and motivate students in the learning process. We applied this innovative concept to complement the theoretical sessions of an introductory course on ecological economics in the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). A participatory simulation game originally developed by Capellán-Pérez et al. (2019) in the context of energy and sustainability education was adapted for this course; and at the same time, the theoretical sessions were reshaped to enhance the learning experience of the gaming. The pedagogical effect of the whole course was evaluated with a previous and posterior questionnaire. The results show that this combined strategy is especially suited to motivate and engage students into the discipline of ecological economics, as well as in order to promote team work and collaborative thinking. We also observed that students gained a better global vision and interrelation between the topics discussed during the course and a greater capacity to understand and interiorise the global socio-environmental crisis that humanity is currently facing
A qualitative analysis of student experiences of a blended learning course
Authors: Ruijten Peter , Hooijman Eline
Published: July 2019

Blended learning has become a popular topic in higher education. A blended learning course combines face-to-face instructions with computer-mediated instructions in any possible ratio. Even though studies have investigated effects of blended learning on education costs and student performance, not much is known about how students experience a blended learning course. The current study provides insights into student experiences in a blended learning course in which all materials were available online, and a minimum number of face-to-face meetings was organized. Three students of the course participated in an in-depth interview, and all fourteen students of the course provided answers to questions during four face-to-face tutorials. Findings indicate similarities in their needs, but differences in their perception of the flexibility that was given to them in the course. A possible explanation for the differences in perception of flexibility could be the students’ self-efficacy. Future studies should be designed to investigate which factors contribute to a positive student experience of blended learning.

Today, the number of female students that enrol in degrees related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) areas is quite low. So, numerous initiatives have arisen to promote these degrees and encourage female students in these areas. In this context, the EuLES Network (u-Learning Environments in Higher Education), an interdisciplinary network created in 2010 at the University of Zaragoza (Spain) to foster research, interaction, cooperation and transfer of knowledge and technologies related to learning and open education, has developed two projects oriented to High School Students: “WikinformáticA! en Aragon” and “Women in STEM by EuLES”. WikinformáticA! en Aragón is a competition for student groups in which they develop a wiki on prominent women in the history of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The objective is the visibility of women involved in technology. The purpose of the Women in STEM project is to offer testimonies of women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics to encourage scientific vocations, especially in young people and girls. The project consists of conducting video interviews of women who work or study in these disciplines. All the videos, along with a short biography, are posted on the web.
Immersive teacher training experience on the methodology of problem posing and solving in Mathematics
Authors: Floris Francesco , Barana Alice , Brancaccio Anna , Conte Alberto , Fissore Cecilia , Marchisio Marina , Pardini Claudio
Published: July 2019

In an Italian and European context, one of the fundamental skills in Mathematics is the ability to solve problems in everyday situations, often linked to everyday life. For this reason, the problem posing and solving methodology plays a fundamental role in the process of teaching and learning Mathematics. This paper presents the results of the immersive experience "Mathematical Exploration with Problem Posing and Solving", included in the teacher training activities proposed by the national PP&S - Problem Posing & Solving - Project of the Italian Ministry of Education, which aims at enhancing the teaching and learning of Mathematics by using new methodologies and technologies. In particular, the focus will be on the work and considerations of the 50 teachers who took part in the project, from both primary and secondary school. They were guided through the individual step-by-step creation of a contextualized problem, following a process guided through stimulus-based questions. This immersive experience brought about the production of valid problems and was full of very  stimulating teachers' considerations on the various phases of the problem posing and solving.
Desafío Programm. A rural version of Erasmus for depopulated areas.
Authors: Sáez-Pérez Luis Antonio , García-Casarejos Nieves , Rincón-Pérez Marta
Published: July 2019

In remote rural areas, economic and social life exits, although young universitarian don't believe it. Dynamic companies, innovative administrations and creative third sector need talent, the most decisive input, but it is scarce and it is difficult to compete with cities to attract it. Public Universities linked to local communities could match each part, students and employees, facilitating their respective knowledge through summer internships, improving the human and social capital on both sides. That’s the objective of Desafío Programme, the experimental policy which we analyse in this work. It is implemented by the Provincial Council of Zaragoza and its University to do it reducing transaction cost by giving information and offering grants to the students who decide to work and live in very small villages. Thanks to it they obtain a professional experience in which to apply their knowledges, but, more important, they enrich themselves through an exceptional experience, learning by doing and learning by living. We expose the main points of Desafío, the kind of studies required, the type of company and organization, and the relevant costs. In base to the polls and interviews made before and after, we can deduce a very good valuation of students and employers.
Bridge the gap between high school systems with less than twelve years of schooling and European Universities
Authors: Floris Francesco , Marchisio Marina , Marello Carla , Operti Lorenza
Published: July 2019

The phenomenon of globalization that concerns the modern era, pushed by technological evolution, has led to several changes in the field of education. Not only are education policies of the single States adapting by directing towards European models: the possibility for a student to choose a university is increasing all over the world, too. In order to facilitate students who want to enroll at a European university and who come from countries with less than 12 years of compulsory schooling, our University designed the Foundation Programme. This is an additional year that allows to earn 60 ECTS to reach the 12 years of schooling, a basic requirement for university access in Europe. The main feature of this project is that it is delivered online; this allows to reduce the costs of enrollment and allows students to attend it directly from home in their country. The design, structure and methodologies of the project are described and discussed in this article.
Adapting conventional delivery to cope with large cohorts: turning seminars into workshops and changing assessment
Authors: Sweeney Simon
Published: July 2019

Teaching a popular postgraduate political economy module to around 50 international business and environment students (mainly Chinese) had always gone well. Delivery consisted of lectures and seminars with assessment via a 3,000-word essay. But with a three times larger cohort in 2017 things went wrong. The response from the teaching team was twofold. First to replace seminars with team-taught 2-hour workshops, to provide fewer targeted readings accompanied by specific questions for groups to answer, plus a redesign of the assessment, introducing a shorter more issue-specific approach based on short (500-word) answers to five questions chosen from ten, all tied to module learning outcomes and content. How did all this go? The paper highlights problems with the traditional approach and offers an initial evaluation of the changes introduced in 2018. Ultimately the paper addresses the strengths and weaknesses of the before and after and relates this to the changing demands placed on tutors charged with teaching large cohorts in a department going through rapid expansion. The case highlights the critical balance between volume and quality and asks difficult questions about the student experience and how universities respond to an increasingly marketized higher education sector.
Enhancing understanding of analytic geometry by augmented reality
Authors: Reit Xenia-Rosemarie
Published: July 2019

An augmented reality (AR) system is a technology which combines computer-generated representations or information and reality in real-time. Instead of substituting the real situation, as it is possible with dynamic geometry systems (DGS), AR adds virtual objects or information to reality to make the situation experiential. The project MalAR aims at investigating the impact of an augmented reality (AR) learning environment in the subject area of analytic geometry. The focus of the AR learning environment is an AR-App, which supports learners understanding of mathematics situations usually given through textbook tasks. Mathematics situations are implemented in an AR-App such that the situation gets visually and enactively explorable by changing perspectives using the own body movement. The added value of integrating AR in mathematics classes is worked out and based on different learning theories like embodied cognition. The AR-App and first results of the pilot study will be demonstrated and presented. With the findings and results of the study evidence-based didactical insights in the teaching and learning with AR in mathematics instruction may be identified and needs for future AR-supported learning scenarios can be revealed.

Published: July 2019

This work applies the Multiple Factor Analysis (MFA) as an exploratory methodology to analize the indicators of the education´s management that belong to 32 Colombian public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) along the year 2013. The product of this work indicates that the majority of HEIs have similar structures, being different and better scored the following: La Universidad Nacional (UNAL), Antioquia (UDEA), Nacional Abierta y a Distancia (UNAD), Pamplona y del Valle. Also the UDEA has a high development in extension, formation, capacity and research which is considered one of the best HEIS in the country. The university of Valle has a high degree of welfare, formation and extension, besides moderate capacities on research in comparission with the UDEA wich is superior to the rest of the HEIs. Pamplona has too a high level of formation, extension and moderate weflare, research and capacity in relation to the UNAD. It worth to mention that UNAL is the best located on extension. However, it is surpassed by other University (UDEA) because has a better development in some variables associated to research and extension. To finish, there are other HEIs with too many weaknesses on the indicators of the education´s management wich are UFPS Ocaña, Sucre and Pacifico. These universities show certain problems of research, extension and capacity, but fundamentally strong shortcomings in formation and welfare.

Four years after Cyclone Pam struck Vanuatu causing extensive damages, reconstruction is near completion with full recovery in sight. The authorities are now focused on implementing their broader development plans that were slowed by the rebuilding process, which will require fiscal discipline and reforms to maintain debt sustainability. The authorities should continue their constructive engagement with development partners for technical assistance, capacity development, and concessional and grant-based funding. In parallel continuing to reform and strengthen the governance of institutions and removing vulnerabilities to corruption will be important.

Statement by the Managing Director on the Independent Evaluation Office Report on the IMF Advice on Unconventional Monetary Policies
Authors:   International Monetary Fund
Published: July 2019

I welcome the report of the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) on the IMF Advice on Unconventional Monetary Policies (UMP). The report recognizes that the Fund’s engagement on UMP since the Global Financial Crisis has been wide-ranging and, in many respects, impressive. The report offers valuable insights on how to further improve the timeliness and value added of the IMF’s advice on UMP. Accordingly, I broadly support the general thrust of IEO’s recommendations, which are helpful in informing Management’s consideration of how to push forward the Fund’s work in this area.

A Culturally Competent Phenotypic Evaluation/Obesity Assessment in African and African American Populations: Pilot Study
Authors: Johnson Catrina , Corruccini Robert , Becque Motier Daniel , Moon Wanki , Ajuwon Kolapo , Lightfoot David A
Published: July 2019

BMI, a ratio of weight over height, is a culturally-biased tool imposed upon the scientific, academic and medical communities as an errant measure of obesity across ethnicity. Body Mass Index (BMI) relates mass (g) to a relative fat distribution with regards to height. Its genesis is from the actuarially derived and ethnically exclusive height and weight tables that promote the fictional notion of inter-ethnic ideal weights that would be later adopted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a competent measure of adiposity. Best practice, movement towards individualized medicine and deployment of effective models that impact the diabetes epidemic and its related precursors like insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome, requires terminal use of BMI, a biologically meaningless and crude indicator of obesity, in favor of  effective and culturally competent non-relative body composition evaluation of genetically determined adiposity that untenably compares values among groups. African Americans are among the increasingly affected groups for diabetes and posses unique composition variation requiring proper intra-cultural evaluation independent of inter-ethnic Eurocentric assumptions that over assesses obesity risk. Incorporating use of 4C models to evaluate adiposity and assess risk for diabetic predisposition and onset provides an effective unbiased assessment of the cultural components inherent within body composition variation among ethnicity, age, gender. Obesity and type II diabetes onset and pre-disposition is assessed phenotypically, in creation of a body mass profile among African and African American groups, using 4C model, photography, anthropometry, somatotype and genetic evaluation. Environmental obeseogenic cultural factors are also explored.
Concurrent Satellite and ground-based Lightning Observations from the Optical Lightning Imaging Sensor (ISS-LIS), the LF network Meteorage and the SAETTA LMA in the northwestern Mediterranean region

Published: July 2019

Abstract. The new space-based Lightning Imager (LI) on board the Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) geostationary satellite will improve the observation of lightning over Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, Africa and the Atlantic Ocean from 2021 onwards. In preparation of the use of the upcoming MTG-LI data, we compare observations by the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) on the International Space Station (ISS), which applies an optical technique similar to MTG-LI, to concurrent records of the Low Frequency (LF) ground-based network Meteorage. Data were analyzed over the northwestern Mediterranean Sea from March 01, 2017 to March 20, 2018. Flashes are detected by ISS-LIS using illuminated pixels, also called events, within a given (2.0 ms) frame and during successive frames. Meteorage describes flashes as a suite of Intra-Cloud/cloud-to-cloud (IC) pulses and/or Cloud-to-Ground (CG) strokes. Both events and pulses/strokes are grouped to flashes using a novel in-house algorithm. In our study, ISS-LIS detects about 57 % of the flashes detected by Meteorage. The flash detection efficiency (DE) of Meteorage relative to ISS-LIS exceeds 80 %. Coincident matched flashes detected by the two instruments show a good spatial and temporal agreement. Both peak and mean distance between matches are smaller than the ISS-LIS pixel resolution (about 5.0 km). The timing offset for matched ISS-LIS and Meteorage flashes is usually shorter than the ISS-LIS integration time frame (2.0 ms). The closest events and pulses/strokes of matched flashes achieve sub-millisecond offsets. Further analysis of flash characteristics reveals that longer lasting and more spatially extended flashes are more likely detected by both ISS-LIS and Meteorage than shorter duration and smaller extent flashes. ISS-LIS' relative DE is lower for daytime versus nighttime as well as for CG versus IC flashes. A second ground-based network, the Very High Frequency (VHF) SAETTA Lightning Mapping Array (LMA), further enhances and validates the lightning pairing between ISS-LIS and Meteorage. It also provides altitude information of the lightning discharges and adds a detailed lightning mapping to the comparison for verification and better understanding of the processes. Both ISS-LIS and Meteorage flash detections feature a high degree of correlation with the SAETTA observations (without altitude information). In addition, Meteorage flashes with ISS-LIS match tend to be associated with discharges that occur at significantly higher altitudes than unmatched flashes. Hence, ISS-LIS flash detection suffers degradation with low-level flashes resulting in lower DE.

Published: July 2019

A História e Filosofia da Ciência (HFC) exercem papel fundamental na aprendizagem das teorias científicas e nos debates de cunho científico no ambiente escolar, no que diz respeito às raízes do conhecimento. Nesse sentido, o Grupo de Estudo e Pesquisa em Ensino de Física (GEPEF) do IFRN Campus Caicó, através de pesquisa aplicada por alguns de seus membros, realizou o presente estudo, objetivando investigar a inserção de tópicos de HFC nas aulas dos docentes de ciências (Física, Química e Biologia) do ensino médio e integrado ao técnico do IFRN – Campus Caicó. A pesquisa propôs a fazer um estudo por meio da aplicação de um questionário adaptado de Martins (2006) pelo GEPEF do IFRN - Campus Caicó, procurando destacar e diagnosticar se estes professores fazem a utilização da HFC em suas aulas, priorizando proporcionar aos alunos o conhecimento de como se chegou e de onde partiram tais conteúdos ensinados em sala de aula, além do papel do docente e suas perspectivas diante deste processo de ensino-aprendizagem.   A maioria dos docentes relatou que já utilizou em suas aulas a inserção de tópicos de HFC, mesmo que em muito dos casos de maneira introdutória aos conteúdos expostos, demonstrando um significativo interesse em estudar e trabalhar HFC com o alunado. Por fim, observou-se que as escolas hoje no Brasil preocupam-se mais com exames de seleção para o ingresso ao ensino superior, como por exemplo, o Enem, tornando a carga horária dessas disciplinas pequena, dificultando de uma forma geral a introdução da HFC nas aulas de Ciências.

Effects of syntactic structure on the comprehension of clefts
Authors: Lobo Maria , Santos Ana Lúcia , Soares-Jesel Carla , Vaz Stéphanie
Published: July 2019

The present paper presents an experiment testing Portuguese-speaking children’s comprehension of different types of subject and object clefts – é que clefts, standard clefts and pseudoclefts. We consider previous studies that explain asymmetric difficulties in the comprehension of structures with object A-bar extraction as an effect of featural intervention, and we show that only é que clefts and standard clefts (as opposed to pseudoclefts) involve a configuration justifying intervention along these lines. Featural intervention accounts therefore predict that comprehension asymmetries between subject and object clefts are only found in é que clefts and in standard clefts, but not in pseudoclefts. Our study supports the featural intervention account. In addition, it also supports the claim that different syntactic structures underlie the different types of clefts under analysis: pseudoclefts are distinguished from other clefts for not involving extraction of the clefted constituent in an intervention configuration.

El objetivo principal del presente estudio fue describir el proceso de adaptación y percepción de los estudiantes universitarios extranjeros respecto a la cultura y el sistema educativo en una universidad pública en Colombia. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo en una muestra compuesta por (7) siete sujetos provenientes de México, Brasil, Argentina y Francia. Se encontró que estos procesos no tienen finalización exacta o permanente, teniendo en cuenta que la sociedad, la cultura, el modelo educativo y la universidad están en cambio constante. Por tal motivo, los estudiantes debieron adaptarse, aprendiendo de las experiencias y de lo que los otros pudieran aportarles. Así mismo, mostraron ser permeables a las diferentes problemáticas sociales que enfrenta su nuevo contexto, llegado a comprenderlas e intentar dar una explicación basados en sus propias percepciones.
El Cultivo y Crianza de Sabidurías y Conocimientos en el contexto de la comunicación intercultural
Authors: Montoya Ortega Yulmar Runel
Published: July 2019

El Cultivo y Crianza de Sabidurías y Conocimientos (CCRISAC), es una metodología de investigación propia que nace en el seno de la Red de Universidades Indígenas Interculturales y Comunitarias de Abya Yala (RUIICAY), como una propuesta desde los pueblos indígenas y afrodescendientes de Abya Yala. Esta iniciativa se hace enriquecedora desde el ejercicio de la comunicación intercultural, puesto que asegura la relación interpersonal entre el investigador y la comunidad de manera holística, respetuosa y de consenso, es decir, toma como parte esencial y parte de la construcción colectiva de sujeto a sujeto; construye, dialoga, comparte, consensa, valida, socializa y armoniza. La metodología fue el Cultivo y Crianza y Crianza de Sabidurías y Conocimientos, que se visualiza desde la armonización de los conocimientos entre las distintas fuentes bibliográficas. Finalmente, la comunicación intercultural es un elemento indispensable que se materializa desde la relación y correlación entre los sujetos de estudio, es decir, las comunidades son el foco esencial que abren su mente al investigador para poder construir comunitaria e interculturalmente. Por ello, todo investigador e investigadora, debe de abrir su mente al ejercicio de una comunicación diferente, humana y que se hace visible desde el entendimiento respetuoso entre diferentes.
Sistemas de innovación y formación de redes para el desarrollo local
Authors: Hernández Medina Carlos Alberto , Báez Hernández Alexander , Carrasco Fuentes Magdalys Alibet
Published: July 2019

Se presenta el concepto de red local de gestión del conocimiento como base de los Sistemas de Innovación Local. Las redes se ven como una forma de incorporar vínculos e interacciones que hacen posible, en lo local, regional y nacional, la existencia de economías externas y rendimientos crecientes. En tal sentido el reconocimiento cada vez mayor que tienen las redes está sustentado en la idea de que, independientemente de la cantidad de información y conocimiento codificado que produzca una sociedad, si no hay vinculación entre la cantidad total de conocimiento codificado y las diversas competencias (conocimiento tácito) encarnados en los individuos y en las organizaciones, el país no será capaz de captar el impulso productivo del conocimiento y plasmarlo en innovación y en un sendero de desarrollo estable.
Ensayo sobre la educación como convivencia para superar las escisiones
Authors: Darós William Roberto
Published: July 2019

Se ha partido en este artículo del supuesto que convivencia significa vivir conscientemente en compañía. Se ha considerado que los seres humanos desean compañía, pero también autonomía o autodeterminación. Con una metodología propia de los ensayos, se ha considerado que la convivencia implica: a) Una relación con la satisfacción relativa y provisoria a través del intercambio; b) Más las diferencias (físicas, sociales, culturales, económicas, etc.), El bienestar de unos y el malestar de otros, llevan o pueden llevar a escisiones, grietas, separaciones, rupturas de la convivencia, que requieren superarse. Se ha planteado la hipótesis de que el proceso educativo personal y social, que respeta la libertad, la racionalidad y la afectividad es una herramienta necesaria pero quizás insuficiente, en un mundo que propone el hiperconsumo como ideal de vida

Published: July 2019

La elección de forrajes no sólo debe basarse en las virtudes agronómicas, sino también en su valor nutricional y palatabilidad para el ganado, en este sentido se evaluaron los efectos de tres fertilizantes orgánicos en el crecimiento vegetativo de la forrajera botón de oro (Tithonia diversifolia) en condiciones de vivero, el experimento consistió en un DCA, con esquejes de 30 cm de largo con 4 nudos, se establecieron en vivero en bolsas de 4x8 pulgadas, con 30% de abono orgánico y 70% tierra común, se evaluaron tres réplicas por tratamiento, cada réplica consistió en 49 plantas para un total 588 plantas. Las variables evaluadas fueron sobrevivencia del material vegetativo, área foliar, biomasa fresca de hojas, altura de plántulas y relación hoja tallo. La mayor sobrevivencia se obtuvo cuando se aplicó Lombrihumus y Compost (92.37% y 89 % respectivamente). La mayor área foliar se obtuvo mediante aplicación de Lombrihumus con 103.3 cm² y 95.6 cm² cuando se usó compost. El mayor crecimiento de plántulas se obtiene con el empleo de Lombrihumus. La biomasa verde de las hojas se incrementa en 58.62 gr cuando se aplica Lombrihumus, y 47.61 gr cuando se usa Bokashi. Los mayares resultados de relación hoja tallo se obtienen aplicando compost (0.81 gramos) y Bokashi (0.81 gramos). Se recomienda el uso de los abonos orgánicos para promover el crecimiento rápido de la forrajera botón de oro (Tithonia diversifolia).

The objective of this work was to know the Quality of Life of young people of four states of Mexico with very marked cultural and geographical characteristics. To achieve the objective, the GENCAT Scale was used, proposed by Verdugo, Arias and others (2009) in which it is based on 8 sub scales: Emotional well-being, Interpersonal relationships, Material well-being, Personal development, Physical well-being, Self-determination, Social inclusion and Human rights. The sample was selected from a non-probabilistic sample of 620 young people. The instrument was validated with an item analysis in which it was obtained in Cronbach's alpha of 0.92. A comparative gender study was carried out and significant differences were found with the T test in four of the sub scales. It is concluded that young people perceive two spheres in their quality of life: the first from the personal factors is perceived very low, while the second, from the social or external factors is perceived with very high values. That is, when assessing the quality of life, young people are depersonalized, but with a high level of support from their context.
A escrita camp de uma narradora trans no romance "Do fundo do poço se vê a lua", de Joca Reiners Terron
Authors: Coelho Lilian Reichert
Published: July 2019

Apresenta um exercício de leitura do romance brasileiro contemporâneo Do fundo do poço se vê a lua (2010), do escritor Joca Reiners Terron, a partir do problema configurado pela instalação de uma ambiência camp pela narradora-protagonista, uma transexual que sonha ser a Cleópatra de Elizabeth Taylor. A hipótese-guia reside na concepção de que, pelo recurso à estética camp, Terron reafirma algumas teses sobre o trabalho do escritor no cenário contemporâneo, o futuro da literatura e a relação com a instância leitora. Do ponto de vista teórico, foram acionadas referências interdisciplinares, tanto da crítica literária quanto da antropologia, da sociologia e da comunicação. Metodologicamente, a opção foi a crítica textual (Bergez 2006). Como resultados, concluímos que o romance foi construído pela categoria camp em associação com outras estéticas, como o kitsch, a paródia, o pastiche, o fake, sempre à luz do artifício, a fim de cumprir o objetivo de Terron, que é questionar o lugar do escritor e da literatura na relação entre estética, enredo e mercado.
O erotismo como embate: o corpo na (da) poesia feita por mulheres
Authors: Escaleira Bruna Renata Bernardo , Inácio Emerson da Cruz
Published: July 2019

Este artigo busca discutir poéticas que abordam o corpo e a condição da mulher em Portugal e no Brasil nas décadas de 1970 e 1980, a partir da produção de autoras como Maria Teresa Horta, Clarice Lispector, Ana Cristina Cesar, Luiza Neto Jorge, Adélia Prado e Olga Savary, dentre outras. Num momento de luta contra a repressão estatal e dos aparelhos ideológicos, observa-se a emergência de um discurso (FOUCAULT, 2014) contestatório em que o corpo feminino torna-se sujeito do processo literário, sobretudo, na poesia de cunho erótico. Por meio do comparatismo literário comprometido com o sentido e os efeitos de presença dos textos (GUMBRECHT, 2010), propõe-se uma análise das relações entre essa nova escrita transgressora (FOUCAULT, 1963) e o cânone, à luz do pensamento de Derrida (1986) e em consonância com os discursos feministas. Observa-se que o embate pela liberdade material dos corpos também pode realizar-se no e por meio do próprio discurso, num movimento que persiste na poesia feita por mulheres até hoje.
"On the way" to the function concept - experiences of a teaching experiment
Authors: Szanyi Gyöngyi
Published: July 2019

Knowing, comprehending and applying the function concept is essential not only from the aspect of dealing with mathematics but with several scientific fields such as engineering. Since most mathematical notions cannot be acquired in one step (Vinner, 1983) the development of the function concept is a long process, either. One of the goals of the process is evolving an "ideal" concept image (the image is interrelated with the definition of the concept). Such concept image plays an important role in solving problems of engineering. This study reports on the beginning of a research aiming the scholastic forming of the students' function concept image i.e. on the experiences of a "pilot" study. By the experiment, we are looking for the answer of the following question: how can the analysis of such function relations be built into the studied period (8th grade) of the evolving process of the function concept that students meet in everyday life and also in engineering life?
