Las mil y una vidas en el edificio Quadronno de Mangiarotti y Morassutti.
Authors: Martínez Arroyo Carmen , Pemjean Muñoz Rodrigo
Published: April 2024

Entre 1960 y 1962 los arquitectos italianos Angelo Mangiarotti y Bruno Morassutti, junto al ingeniero de estructuras Aldo Favini, construyen un edificio de viviendas en la via Quadronno en Milán. Su propuesta es deudora del “Principio de continuidad de los alzados” una regla que ellos mismos establecen para conseguir la flexibilidad de la fachada. Esta flexibilidad en la envolvente permite múltiples cambios en planta en el programa doméstico o incluso la transformación del espacio para su utilización como oficina. Todo ello es posible por la implantación de un estricto sistema de modulación y prefabricación y por la participación de los propietarios en la fase previa a la ejecución. Así, un proyecto con un uso concreto se transforma en un ente vivo, gracias a una estrategia de anticipación por parte de los arquitectos. En este artículo se plantea una reflexión sobre las tácticas de diseño empleadas por Mangiarotti y Morassutti para posibilitar tantos cambios en el edificio a lo largo del tiempo sin que la propuesta perdiese un ápice de su calidad. Las mil y una vidas en este edificio de via Quadronno nos hacen pensar que, como arquitectos, aún estamos a tiempo de plantear nuevas alternativas para la ciudad.

Authors: Molina-López Patricia , Burillo-Vidal Nerea , Carrillo José M. , García Juan T.
Published: April 2024

Este estudio se centra en la comparativa de diferentes programas de modelización hidrológica en una cuenca semiárida con el objetivo de proporcionar una evaluación de su desempeño en la simulación de procesos hidrológicos. Para ello, se han evaluado dos programas de modelización distribuida o de enfoque bidimensional (Iber y HEC-RAS), y un programa de modelización semidistribuida (HEC-HMS), considerando tres eventos lluvia registrados en la red de pluviómetros de la Confederación Hidrográfica del Segura y un evento sintético de período de retorno de 100 años. Adicionalmente, se ha evaluado el comportamiento de los modelos al someter el modelo digital del terreno a cambios para una mejor modelización de la realidad. Los resultados demuestran que, en general, el modelo Iber presenta mayor similitud de los caudales simulados con respecto a los aforados, y que las obstrucciones presentes en las cuencas analizadas, a gran escala no ejercen influencia remarcable en los resultados.

Authors: Huang Chien-Yu , Lin Gong-Hong , Lu Szu-Ching , Lee Shih-Chieh
Published: April 2024

Importance: Coloring is popular with preschool children and reveals their developmental state. However, interpreting coloring performances is challenging because descriptive and subjective evaluations are commonly used with large variations.

Objective: To develop a scoring method to objectively quantify children’s coloring skills.

Design: Colored blank train templates were analyzed using four indicators (entropy, complexity, coloring outside the lines, and unexpected blank areas) to form a summed score.

Setting: Kindergarten in a urban city (Tainan, Taiwan).

Participants: Two hundred thirty-nine typically developing children ages 3 to 6 yr.

Outcome and Measures: A newly developed method to assess coloring skill on the basis of a colored picture of a train.

Results: The summed score exhibited good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .80), discriminative validity (p = .04), convergent validity (rs = .66 and .59 with age and visual–motor integration), and acceptable factorial validity (comparative fit index = .99, standardized root-mean-square residual = .04, and root-mean-square error of approximation = .13). Moreover, three coloring patterns (mature, transitional, and immature) were identified.

Conclusions and Relevance: The new method provides objective, reliable, and valid scores representing coloring skills in typically developing children. In addition, the coloring patterns can be recognized. This method can be used to facilitate comparisons of children’s coloring skills with peers and provide valuable insight into children’s development.

Plain-Language Summary: This study proposes a new method to objectively quantify children’s coloring skills with sound reliability and validity in typically developing children. The method can be used to evaluate children’s coloring skills and patterns to shed light on their developmental stages.
Clinical practice experience in a neonatal care unit: analysis according to the SWOT methodology
Authors: Mota Ana Rita , Loureiro Fernanda
Published: April 2024

In the training of nursing students, the development of skills is essential, especially during clinical practice. One way of encouraging reflection is by making structured records of the episodes experienced. The analysis of a clinical practice in a neonatology setting is presented, with the aim of reflecting on the curricular clinical practice to develop skills and learning. The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis tool was used as a methodology. It was possible to identify individual aspects (strengths: awareness of abilities and limitations, willingness to learn, ease of communication, the relationship with the nurse tutor; weaknesses: nervousness and fear) and environmental aspects (opportunities: organization of the service, diversity of experiences and safe environment; threats: language barriers and length of clinical practice). By reflecting on these aspects, based on the literature, it was possible to develop skills as a future nursing professional.

Published: April 2024

This study sought to investigate sexual self-esteem as an indicator of risky sexual behaviour among female students attending teacher training colleges in Kenya. The study focused on second-year female students in the 29 public teacher training colleges in Kenya. Using ex post facto research design, data was collected through a personally delivered questionnaire from 350 female students in 13 public teachers’ training colleges in Kenya and subsequently analysed using simple regression statistic at 0.05 alpha level. The findings revealed a linear and significant relationship (F= 7.894; 1,345; P< .05) between sexual self-esteem and risky sexual behaviour. The study further revealed that the beta value (? = .150) was statistically (t = 2.810; P <.05), the findings implied that sexual self-esteem had a positive effect on risky sexual behaviour, and the impact was statistically significant. The adjusted R2 value (R2 = 0.22) further revealed that Sexual self-esteem could account for 22% of the variation in risky sexual behaviour among female students. These findings have important implications and lessons in regard to reducing incidences of risky sexual behaviour among female teacher trainees, specifically, stakeholders in teacher training colleges including, college administrators, counsellors, and sexual health practitioners, within the colleges. These should develop and adopt strategies suggested in this study to address the challenge of sexual risk-taking among female teacher trainees.

This study's objective was to investigate the influence of sexual and reproductive health knowledge on risky sexual behaviour among female students in public teacher training colleges. Using ex post facto research design, data was collected through a personally delivered questionnaire from 350 female students in 13 public teachers’ training colleges in Kenya and subsequently analysed using simple regression statistic at 0.05 alpha level. The findings revealed a linear and statistically significant relationship (F=4.172; df= 1,345; P=.042) between sexual and reproductive health knowledge and risky sexual behaviour. The computed beta index (? = -.109) was negative, weak but statistically significant (t = 12.278; P = .042). This finding suggests that the selected domains of sexual and reproductive health knowledge had the capacity to predict risky sexual behaviour. The adjusted R2 value (R2 = .012) further revealed that Sexual and reproductive health knowledge could account for 1.2% of the variation in risky sexual behaviour among female students. These findings have important implications in regard to reducing incidences of risky sexual behaviour among female teacher trainees, specifically, stakeholders in teacher training colleges including, college administrators, counsellors, and curriculum developers. These should develop and adopt strategies suggested in this study to address the challenge of sexual risk-taking among female teacher trainees.

Authors: Parolin Guilherme , Gadis Ribeiro Vinicius , Miotto Bruscato Léia
Published: April 2024

O conhecimento gerado no projeto de design, devidamente capturado e representado por meio de sistemas de Design Rationale, pode configurar-se como fonte de valor exclusivo e, portanto, de diferencial competitivo às organizações. Nesse contexto, explora-se a potencialidade do sistema de Design Paramétrico Grasshopper como sistema de Design Rationale a partir de sua comparação com os sistemas convencionais gIBIS e QOC. São aplicados três critérios de análise comparativa: sintaxe; representatividade de parâmetros de design e suas relações; e representatividade do fluxo informacional. A partir do framework DIKW, são relacionados os processos informacionais desenvolvidos no uso dos sistemas analisados - pesquisar, idear, avaliar, relacionar, e aplicar - aos quatro níveis informacionais - dado, informação, conhecimento e sabedoria. A análise aponta indícios de que o Grasshopper pode ser empregado como um sistema de Design Rationale e indica potenciais diferenciais frente aos sistemas convencionais, assim como direcionamentos para pesquisas futuras.
Fontes variáveis: possíveis impactos para o design da informação em mídias digitais e para a área da tipografia
Authors: Woloszyn Maíra , Santos Gonçalves Berenice
Published: April 2024

O design da informação é essencial no contexto das mídias digitais para garantir clareza na comunicação de mensagens, facilitando assim, a compreensão das mesmas por parte do público. Para tanto, são utilizados diversos elementos para atender esta demanda, como a tipografia. Compreendida como a área que estuda história, anatomia, desenvolvimento e uso dos tipos, a tipografia passou por diversas transformações e foi impulsionada pelo avanço das ferramentas digitais. Uma destas transformações, foi a implementação das fontes variáveis, que consistem em uma tecnologia na qual diferentes larguras, pesos, inclinações e muitas outras variações são incorporadas em um único arquivo de fonte tipográfica. Frente ao exposto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar o impacto das fontes variáveis para o design da informação em mídias digitais e para a área da tipografia. Para tanto, foram realizadas dez entrevistas com designers de tipos e especialistas em fontes variáveis que atuam em diferentes contextos e países. As entrevistas foram transcritas e os dados analisados a partir do método de análise de conteúdo e da técnica de análise categorial com o apoio de um software para tratamento de dados qualitativos. Como resultado, foi possível demarcar características e atributos das fontes variáveis que contribuem para o design da informação em mídias digitais e as implicações dos mesmo para a tipografia, sobretudo para a prática do design de tipos.

Authors: Uehara Misa , Da Silva Santa Rosa José Guilherme
Published: April 2024

Neste estudo, foram examinados os princípios relativos à análise de esquemas lúdicos em jogos digitais, com ênfase na coleta de dados sobre a percepção de aprendizado e emoções de crianças (7–11 anos) em situação de vulnerabilidade social em Parnamirim, Brasil. Realizaram-se duas sessões de grupo focal, sendo uma delas conduzida com um questionário. Após interpretação dos dados mediante análise de conteúdo, concluiu-se que as crianças percebem emoções e reconhecem inteligências múltiplas durante a interação com os jogos relatados, identificando mecânicas e momentos específicos associados a essas emoções. Como descoberta secundária, observou-se que a sessão adaptada, com cartas ilustrativas desenvolvidas baseadas em respostas anteriores das crianças, apresentou desempenho superior em questões sobre aprendizados. A interligação entre o aprendizado e o nível de engajamento do indivíduo, sendo o engajamento intrinsecamente ligado às emoções, é evidenciado através da percepção dos próprios participantes. Concluiu-se por literatura e demonstração prática que essa interação existe e pode ser benéfica para o aprendizado de diferentes habilidades, sendo a coleta desses dados importante para a priorização da necessidade dos sujeitos no fazer e pensar design e para o processo educacional. A adaptação com as cartas, conforme as necessidades do grupo, fomenta maior interação e envolvimento, alinhando-se à noção construtivista de participação das crianças na pesquisa, conhecimento cujo presente estudo visa contribuir.

O objetivo desse artigo é apresentar ao leitor algumas imagens do álbum Résultat d’une Expédition Photographique sur le Solimões ou Alto Amazonas et Rio Negro feitas na segunda metade do século XIX pelo fotógrafo alemão Albert Frisch e hoje tidas como as primeiras fotos da Amazônia. Nossas atenções estarão voltadas especialmente para as fotografias tomadas entre os Miranha no alto e médio Solimões. Por meio da comparação entre os artifícios de composição e montagem das imagens com os dados etnográficos e históricos disponíveis, veremos como as fotografias oscilam em retratar os Miranha ora como “selvagens”, ora como “civilizados”. Notaremos ainda como tais atributos, aparentemente contraditórios, não são uma particularidade do trabalho de Frisch.
Sistema de clasificación en emergencias –Escala canadiense de clasificación y severidad relacionado con aumento en fallecimientos en un hospital general
Authors: Schmitz Gerald
Published: April 2024

Objetivo. El sistema de clasificación en servicios de emergencias fue implementado en todos los servicios de emergencias de la Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social alrededor del 2015, a pesar de que su utilidad y veracidad han sido cuestionadas. El presente estudio pretende establecer si existe una relación entre cambios en la cantidad de fallecimientos y en la mortalidad con la implementación de la Escala Canadiense de Clasificación y Severidad en los servicios de emergencias.Métodos. Se obtuvieron los registros correspondientes a las atenciones del Servicio de Emergencias del 2008 al 2022. Se realizó la comparación de los registros previos y posteriores a la implementación de la Escala Canadiense de Clasificación y Severidad en marzo del 2015. En total se tomaron en cuenta los datos referentes a 1 351 091 consultas, de las cuales 733 318 se dieron antes de la implementación de la escala canadiense de clasificación y severidad. Se compararon ambas poblaciones con respecto a tendencias temporales en fallecimientos, estancias en el servicio antes del fallecimiento, mortalidad y la relación entre fallecimientos y hora-paciente mensuales.Resultados. Se encontró un aumento significativo en los fallecimientos con la implementación de la Escala Canadiense de Clasificación y Severidad en un 19,8 % (p<0,001). La mortalidad en el servicio de emergencias mostró un aumento continuo desde el 2012. Sin embargo, una normalización del número de atenciones permitió observar un aumento de la mortalidad posterior, pero no previo a la implementación de la Escala Canadiense de Clasificación y Severidad (p<0,02). Por su parte, la cuantía de fallecimientos mensuales no ha mostrado relacionarse con cuantía de atenciones mensuales ni con hora-pacientes mensuales.Conclusión. La implementación de la Escala Canadiense de Clasificación y Severidad en el servicio de emergencias de un hospital de tercer nivel en Costa Rica se relacionó con un aumento en los fallecimientos, sin estar relacionado con indicadores de plétora del servicio.
Exploring the Ecological Footprint in Turkey: Analyzing the Interplay of Economic and Environmental Factors
Authors: Demirbay Sevim Gülin , Karakaş Esra
Published: April 2024

Nowadays, the world is facing increasing ecological issues due to the rapid growth of the population, the expansion of industrial activity, the fast urbanization process, and the higher levels of consumption. As a result of the current ecological problems, there has been an unchecked increase in the demand for natural resources. This study identified the independent variables that influence the ecological footprint as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), KOF Globalization Index (KOFGI), and Natural Resource Rent (NRR). The Markov chains approach was used to anticipate the movements of the dependent and independent variables in the future period. Frequency and transition probability matrices were then generated. The dependent and independent variables for the next period were compared to the actual values, and the accuracy of the predictions made using Markov chains was demonstrated. A model of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was created to accurately predict the value of the dependent variable. The ANN modeling was used to estimate the ecological footprint, taking into account the values of Turkey's GDP growth rate (% per year), NRR (as a percentage of GDP), and KOF Globalization Index data from 1970 to 2016. The Feed-Forward Backpropagation Method, which is a type of multi-layer network model, was utilized for the modeling process. The Levenberg-Marquardt optimization algorithm was employed as the network training function to update the weight and deviation values of the network. The study's findings indicate that the dataset as a whole has a significant level of agreement with the model's correctness, with a close proximity of 99.316%. Based on the collected results, it can be inferred that the developed artificial neural network (ANN) model has a notable level of precision in calculating the Ecological Footprint.

Air pollution is generally defined as the presence in the outdoor atmosphere of one or more contaminants such as fumes, dust, gases, mist, odour, smoke, smog, or vapors in considerable quantities and duration of which is injurious to human, animal and plant life. There has been increasing negative consequences of air pollution on public health, biotic and abiotic components of the environment. The study analyzed the spatial distribution of air pollution level in Enugu State, Nigeria using pollution data obtained from field work through the use of a gas analyzer. The student’s t-test was the statistical tool employed for the study while remote sensing and Geographic information system (GIS) were further used. It was observed that Trans-Ekulu, Abakpa and Emene are the most polluted areas in Enugu while Asata, Coal Camp and Independence layout are the best least polluted areas. CO is the major pollutant in the area whereas pollution was found to be more severe in the evening than morning period in the area. It was concluded that although pollution increased generally as the evening period approaches, the concentration of pollutants appears to decrease more significantly as progression is made towards the southern part of Enugu urban.
The Multidimensional Exploration Methodology for Architectural Design Studio Education: An Innovative Teaching Methodology Proposal
Authors: Birgonul Zeynep , Carrasco Oriol
Published: April 2024

In this paper, we discuss the next phase of architectural design, and concerning the requirements of this point of view, we propose a new learning approach that includes digital-design thinking (by the approach) and design-driven innovation (as outcomes). The paper aims to reflect an architectural understanding shaped by current global facts and developing technologies. Moreover, we discuss this understanding from the academic perspective, which is compatible with the globally evolving socio-cultural, environmental, and economic norms. Therefore, under the title, The Multidimensional Exploration Methodology, we present a new education scheme and a learning methodology that transfers this aligned view to the architectural design studio education model and trains new designers accordingly. The learning method is developed by taking references from existing methods and blending them into each other in a way compatible with architectural design. While addressing the student as a professional, this method challenges them via real problems through challenge-based learning and adopts the new architectural understanding through the cognitive learning method. Furthermore, it aims to develop designers’ perceptions and approaches that align with the digital world through design-science research methodology within the framework of a new understanding. Consequently, it develops practical skills with the learning-by-doing model. This new architectural concept has emerged, backed up by the power of data and shaped by users’ roles and responsibilities in the digital age. This understanding, which is not only limited to Form and Function but also consists of ‘Form + Function + Interaction’, should be covered by design schools as a progression for the human-centred design approach.
The Interpretation of Environmental Ideal Images Based on Ji Chang Garden’s Literary Texts
Authors: Yu Mengmiao , Yang Xiao
Published: April 2024

The creation of literary texts on traditional Chinese gardening was a cultural phenomenon among literati and officialdom; the fictional imagination and personal experience of the garden owner and other literati constructed the ideal images of the traditional Chinese garden environment together with the physical space. Therefore, garden literary texts become a mirror of the built environment that extends it into an idealised space-time through literary rhetoric such as metaphor and metonymy, an important medium for us to interpret the connotations of Environmental Ideal Images that combine physical space and fictional imagination. We take the Jichang Garden as the research object, the typical Chinese garden during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). By applying the methods of Linguistic Structural Analysis and Hermeneutic Phenomenology, we excavate the space-time hiding in texts and visualise the environmental ideal image inside literature through drawing methods such as diagrams, collages, plans and axonometry. We intervene in the texts as interpreters from the perspective of art and philosophy, question and break through the cognition of regarding the built environment as all of gardening, and ultimately reconstruct the overall Environmental Ideal Images of Jichang Garden that combines the physical space and fictional imagination. Through the research, we have found that the fictional ideal images created by literati involve specific activities in the present and collective memories of the past, which reveal the potential and attractive side of Chinese traditional gardens.

Published: April 2024

Aedes aegypti is a vector of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). DHF is transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito which carries the virus in its body. Mosquito eradication can use natural insecticides derived from natural agent such as plants metabolites that are toxic to insects. Kayu Jawa leaf (Lannea coromandelica) is a wild plant that is easy to find. Kayu jawa leaves contain secondary metabolites such as saponins, flavonoids, polyphenols and tannins which has insecticide activity. This research was an experimental test using kayu jawa leaves (L. coromandelica) decoction at 20%, 40%, 60% and 100% to eradicate A. aegypti. Test results show that 100 % concentration of L. coromandelica leaves decoction has the greatest activity to eradicate A. aegypti. The lowest activity shown in 20% concentration. This is due to the performance of secondary metabolite compounds from L. coromandelica leaves. The conclusion of this research is L. coromandelica has an activity as an A. aegyti insecticides.
Automatic Identification of Emergency Sounds for Self-Driving Cars
Authors: Afzal Usman , Farhi Lubna
Published: April 2024

As the development of Self-Driving Cars (SDCs) advances, one important feature that requires attention is their ability to sense and respond to emergencies on the road. Drivers of emergency vehicles prioritize speed over safety during emergencies to save lives, potentially leading to accidents. However, manual cars sometimes may not understand the urgency of the situation, further increasing the risk of collisions. In such cases, self-driving cars offer a better solution to replace manual cars and minimize road accidents. These cars with emergency sound detections offer a level of responsiveness, accuracy, and consistency that surpasses manual cars, contributing to improved road safety and efficiency in emergencies. Therefore, the key objective of the research is to improve the listening capability of self-driving cars to detect emergency vehicles with the help of a hybrid feature extraction technique. The suggested technique leverages a combination of Complex Morlet Wavelet and Co-occurrence Matrix to obtain statistical features from the emergency sounds. The proposed technique can work with the input length of 1.2 seconds of raw waveforms. This research work investigates that self-driving cars can accurately identify emergency vehicles by examining the distinctive emergency sound patterns emitted by the emergency vehicle with the highest accuracy of 94%. At the same time, the proposed technique reduces the computational cost by 20 – 40 milliseconds when compared with other techniques. The result of this work not only provides better accuracy but also reduces detection time, which is a crucial requirement for real-time applications such as self-driving cars.

Este livro apresenta um estudo teórico/prático em um aterro sanitário localizado no município de Campina Grande-PB, fruto de uma dissertação de mestrado. A geração de biogás em aterros sanitários é influenciada por diferentes condições atreladas aos fatores ambientais locais, às características físicas e químicas dos resíduos aterrados e aos aspectos relacionados à operação dos aterros. No período que compreende o primeiro ano de aterramento de resíduos sólidos urbanos, acontecem as maiores interferências no processo biodegradativo que vão influenciar na velocidade de degradação posterior e, consequentemente, na geração de biogás em aterros. Portanto, este livro apresenta os resultados de uma verificação das principais interferências operacionais e meteorológicas nas condições físico-químicas e geração de biogás de resíduos sólidos recém dispostos em aterro sanitário e com um ano de aterramento.

Sedikitnya pengetahuan dan minimnya pola pelestarian juga pengetahuan tentang Bahasa Batak Toba di Indonesia menyebabkan bahasa tersebut kurang terjaga kelestarianya terutama bagi para kalangan muda yang terus mengikuti perkembangan zaman. Hal tersebut dikarenakan proses globalisasi dan urbanisasi yang berpotensi memicu terjadinya asimilasi dan akulturasi budaya, terutama didaerah perkotaan. Keadaan tersebut memicu terbentuknya bahasa baru (bahasa gaul) yang lebih disukai terutama oleh kalangan pemuda yang tanpa disadari hal tersebut membuat kita kehilangan identitas sebagai masyarakat yang memiliki suku dan adat istiadat masing – masing dan munculnya sekolah nasional dan internasional yang mewajibkan siswa untuk berkomunikasi menggunakan bahasa asing. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya pola pembelajaran yang lebih efektif agar Bahasa Batak Toba tetap terjaga kelestariannya. Salah satunya dengan membuat aplikasi penerjemah dari Bahasa Batak Toba ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia dengan menggunakan algoritma Boyer Moore Berbasis Android. Sistem yang dibuat memiliki 100 kosa kata Batak Toba yang nantinya dapat diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa indonesia. Aplikasi ini juga dibuat sebagai salah satu penyebaran dan pengenalan Bahasa Batak Toba ke masyarakat luar sehingga Bahasa Batak Toba akan tetap terjaga kelestariannya karena aplikasi penerjemah ini mampu menerjemahkan dari Bahasa Batak Toba ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia atau sebaliknya dengan baik yang didasari acuan kamus Batak Toba-Indonesia yang berlaku.

Este estudo explora o desafio e as oportunidades de integrar o storytelling nas práticas pedagógicas e estratégias de gestão em escolas públicas de ensino fundamental. Com recursos limitados, mas dotadas de infraestrutura física e tecnológica básica, estas instituições se encontram em um ponto crucial para o fortalecimento da qualidade educacional. A qualidade na educação, conforme investigado, abrange não apenas a transmissão de conhecimento, mas também a promoção de um aprendizado dinâmico, significativo e engajante, essencial para o desenvolvimento de habilidades críticas e analíticas nos estudantes. Identificou-se que a adoção eficaz do storytelling pode ser um catalisador para alcançar esse objetivo, enriquecendo o processo de ensino-aprendizagem e, por extensão, melhorando a qualidade geral da educação oferecida. Através de uma revisão da literatura especializada, observou-se que a implementação bem-sucedida do storytelling em ambientes educacionais requer uma gestão escolar proativa, capaz de planejar e integrar de forma coesa essa prática pedagógica. Isso inclui investimentos direcionados na formação contínua de professores e na atualização da infraestrutura tecnológica, permitindo que o storytelling seja explorado em sua plenitude. Além disso, enfatiza-se a necessidade de avaliações contínuas, que permitam ajustes e otimizações no uso do storytelling, assegurando que esta abordagem contribua efetivamente para os objetivos de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento dos alunos. Promover a qualidade em uma instituição escolar, portanto, implica em reconhecer e implementar estratégias que façam uso efetivo dos recursos disponíveis, como o storytelling, para criar um ambiente de aprendizado rico e estimulante. Isso destaca a importância de uma gestão escolar visionária, que entenda a educação como um processo integrado e dinâmico, focado não apenas na transmissão de conteúdo, mas na formação integral do estudante. Através deste estudo, conclui-se que o storytelling emerge como uma estratégia poderosa na promoção da qualidade educacional, evidenciando a relevância de práticas inovadoras na gestão pedagógica e administrativa das escolas públicas.
