DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n5p591 Subjective social status comprises the perception of individuals about their social status. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between subjective social status and sociodemographic indicators (age, educational level, marital status and economic level) in athletes from Santa Catharina. A total of 593 athletes of both sexes and mean age of 21.18 (± 5.58) years, 371 men, randomly selected, practitioners of individual and collective sport modalities, federated in clubs in the western region of Santa Catarina participated in the study. Social status perception was assessed using the MacArthur scale version for young people adapted to the sports context. For the association between perceived status and sociodemographic indicators, the Chi-square and Multinomial Logistic Regression tests were used, stratified by gender and adjusted for age variables, educational level, marital status and socioeconomic status. Dissatisfaction with status was found in 85% of the sample. Moreover, 46.9% of participants perceived themselves with low family status and 46% perceived themselves with intermediate status in their clubs. The association between groups showed statistically significant differences according to sex, age, educational level and marital status. The association between sociodemographic variables and status according to sex indicated that younger men, with less education, and single were more likely to be dissatisfied with their status. There is need for greater attention by health professionals regarding younger male athletes, with lower education and single regarding their status perception.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n5p602 The aim of this study was to investigate the physical, physiological (HR) and tactical demands of small-sided soccer games (SSG) with numerical equality (3x3) and numerical superiority (4x3). Eighteen male players of a soccer team played against each other both types of SSG, both played as two 4-minute bouts interspersed with 4-minute rest. Physical (distances, velocities and accelerations) and HR demands were recorded by a GPS system (15hz) and a heart rate monitor during SSG. The individual tactical behaviors proposed by the System of Tactical Assessment in Soccer were registered by an observer who analyzed the SSG videos. Reliability was verified calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the absolute and percentage standard error of measurement (SEM and %SEM, respectively), both considering athletes’ individual scores in each SSG bout. As a result, higher number of variables related to physical and physiological demands presented significant ICC values, being classified as moderate to excellent in relation to variables related to tactical demands. Considering these variables that presented significant ICC values in both SSG, the SEM% values found for physical and physiological variables ranged from 3.0 to 42.0%, while those found for the tactical variables ranged from 31.6 to 75.0%. It could be concluded that several variables related to physical and physiological demands present moderate to excellent reliability. Differently, the majority of variables related to tactical demands were not reliable in both types of SSG.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n6p621 The aims of the study were: 1) to analyze the exercise intensity in several phases (six phases of 15 min) of soccer matches; 2) to compare the match time spent above anaerobic threshold (AT) between different age groups (U-17 and U-20); and 3) to compare the match time spent above AT between players’ positions (backs, midfielders, forwards and wingabcks). Forty-four male soccer players were analyzed. To express players’ effort, the heart rate (HR) was continuously monitored in 29 official matches. Further, HR corresponding to the intensity at the onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA) was obtained in a field test. The highest exercise intensity during match was observed in the 15-30 min period of the first half (p< 0.05). Match time spent above AT was not different between players from U-17 and U-20. In the comparison among players’ positions, wingbacks showed lower time above AT (p< 0.05) than players of other positions. The intensity of effort is higher in the 15 to 30 minutes of play (intermediate phase), probably because the players are more rested in the beginning and wearing out is progressive throughout the game. It is also noteworthy that the intensity of exercise (HR and time above AT) of wingbacks was lower, probably because they usually are required to run a larger number of sprints and need more time below the AT to recover.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n6p629 Declarative Tactical Knowledge Tests are presented as important evaluation tools for the teaching-learning-training process regulation. This study aimed to establish the content validity of scenes of the Declarative Tactical Knowledge Test in Volleyball – DTKT:Vb. Five male coaches of the Brazilian Volleyball team who worked with male athletes participated as judges, being responsible for training formation categories up to 21 years, experts in the sport, with minimum ten years of experience. The judges evaluated 212 scenes containing extremity attack (n=55), central attack (n=33), setting (n=68) and block (n=60) situations and used a 1-5 point likert scale to assign a score to the scene according to requisites image clarity, practical relevance and item representativity. The Content Validity Coefficient (CVC) was used to determine the CVC for each scene and the instrument as a whole, with cutoff point of 0.80. The results demonstrated that “image clarity” (CVC=0.92), “practical relevance” (CVC=0.96) and “item representativity” criteria (CVC=0.96) showed satisfactory levels. After calculating CVC, the ecological validity of scenes was determined, which consists of the selection of scenes where there was convergence among decision made by judges and decision made by athletes. Thus, from 212 scenes initially prepared, 66 have been validated. Scenes validated using CVC enabled the evaluation of the Declarative Tactical Knowledge, assisting in the planning of teaching-learning-training processes of male volleyball athletes.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n6p658 The aim of this study was to outline the physical fitness profile related to sport performance of Brazilian children and adolescents, stratified by sex. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study and information was obtained from the Projeto Esporte Brasil (PROESP-Br). The sample consisted of 8,750 voluntary subjects aged 7-17 years evaluated in the period between 2013 and 2015. The following variables were evaluated: lower limb strength (LLS) through the horizontal jump test and upper limb strength (ULS) through mediceball pitch, speed through the 20-meter sprint test and agility through the square test. Variables were classified with PROESP-Br criteria. For data processing, means, standard deviations, absolute and relative frequencies and confidence intervals were used. The results for boys have shown that the “poor” category had the highest prevalence: LLS (40.2%), ULS (29.7%), speed (41.4%) and agility (37.5%). The “excellent” category, as expected, had the lowest prevalence: LLS (3.7%), ULS (4.9%), speed (2.0%) and speed (3.5%). The results for girls were similar to those of boys, where the “poor” category had the highest prevalence: LLS (43.7%), ULS (36.8%), speed (43.8%) and agility (41.0 %). The “excellent” category also had the lowest prevalence: LLS (4.2%), ULS (4.3%), speed (1.6%) and speed (3.1%). The results indicated that the majority of Brazilian children and adolescents have physical fitness related to sport performance. Among variables analyzed, LLS for girls and speed for boys were the components with the most unfavorable results.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2017v19n1p1 The aim of this study was to develop an instrument to identify barriers to PA in children. This is a validation study with observational and cross-sectional design. The population consisted of students aged 06-09 years from the city of Uruguaiana/RS. The instrument content was obtained by theoretical matrix, constructed from the literature review and the assessment of barriers through open questions applied by proxy report (n=100) and focus groups conducted with parents/guardians and children. It is a questionnaire consisting of 29 closed questions. After testing the instrument clarity, its implementation was carried out (n = 293) to verify the construct validity and internal consistency. After one week, parents/guardians were asked to answer the questionnaire retest reliability (n = 168) to verify the agreement. Exploratory factor analysis distributed the 29 questions in six factors, with total variance of 55.6%. All items that have defined the factors obtained load greater than 0.4 and eingenvalues above 1.0. In the internal consistency analysis, item-total correlations ranged from 0.23 to 0.64 and the total alpha value was 0.90. Reproducibility values ranged from 0.43 to 0.78. Twenty-four questions met all the criteria adopted for the study. It was concluded that the instrument developed has adequate validity and reliability for the identification of barriers to PA in schoolchildren aged 06-09 years.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2017v19n1p31 High blood pressure is a leading cause of mortality worldwide and a risk factor for several diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the predictive power of anthropometric indicators of obesity and establish their cutoff points as discriminators of hypertension and identify the anthropometric indicator of obesity that best discriminates high blood pressure in the elderly. This is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 300 older adults, 167 (56.5%) women. The following anthropometric indicators of obesity were measured: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist / height ratio (WHtR) and conicity index. Moreover, systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements were collected. To identify hypertension predictors, the analysis of receiver operating curves (ROC) with 95% confidence interval was adopted. Subsequently, cutoff points with their respective sensitivities and specificities were identified. Analyses were carried out considering 5% significance level. It was observed that some anthropometric indicators of obesity showed area under the curve (AUC) significant with BMI = 0.60 (0.50 to 0.70); WHtR = 0.61 (0.51 to 0.71); conicity index = 0.58 (0.58 to 0.68) in men. The different cutoff points of anthropometric indicators with better predictive power and their respective sensitivities and specificities were identified. The best areas under the ROC curve were for BMI, WHtR and conicity index for men; however, such measures were not satisfactory to predict high blood pressure in women.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2017v19n1p96 The aim of this study was to make a comparison between fatigue and eating disorders in professional dancers in Brazil. Overall, 108 Classical Ballet or Contemporary Dance dancers (28.6 ± 7.7 years) (49 women and 59 men) of companies from São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and Rio Grande do Sul participated in this study. The following validated instruments were used (Eating Attitudes Test; Bulimic Inventory Test Edinburgh; Yoshitake Fatigue Questionnaire, general Information). Results: 16% of dancers have symptoms of anorexia; 25% in the symptomatic bulimia scale and 30% in the bulimia scale. Significant data were identified in the comparison of bulimia nervosa scales with fatigue domains; on the symptomatic scale with drowsiness and lack of attention at work domain (p = 0.015), on the severity scale with fatigue projections to the body domain (p = 0.014), and in both scales in the impaired concentration and attention domain (p = 0.003 and p = 0.047) and in the general fatigue score (p = 0.016). Dancers with higher scores for difficulty in concentration and attention are 1.558 (95% CI 1.113 to 2.179) times more likely to have symptoms of bulimia. This study showed that there is a relationship between fatigue and symptoms of bulimia.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2017v19n2p164 The aim of this study was to verify the association between the characteristics of the school structure and the physical activity of students in the physical education class and school recess. This is an association study with quantitative approach. The random sample is composed of 176 schoolchildren (71 boys and 105 girls) from 10 schools of the city of Passo Fundo-RS, Brazil. Physical activity was evaluated with a pedometer, after which the average number of steps in the physical education class and school recess was calculated. The characteristics of the school structure were evaluated by direct observation, with the audit tool in the school. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test and generalized linear regression. The mean number of steps among boys was higher when compared to girls in the physical education class (t=3.478, p<0.001, d cohen=0.62) and in the school recess (t=2.537, p<0.01; d cohen=0.45). The number of steps in physical education class was not associated with the characteristics of the school structure. In the school recess, an inverse association was found, where boys enrolled in schools with regular quality structure performed on average 208.04 (95%CI=16.44/399.65; p=0.03) steps when compared to boys enrolled in schools with good quality structure. Schools that have bigger and/or better structure do not necessarily influence adolescents in the practice of physical activity in school recess and physical education classes.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2017v19n2p224 The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of a tapering period on anaerobic power and capacity of tae-kwon-do athletes. Thirty-one male tae-kwon-do participants of the Brazilian Championship were selected in a non-probabilistic way. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups, namely: experimental group (EG, n = 15) and control group (CG, n = 17). Both groups followed the same training protocol up to the tapering stage. CG was submitted to training loads contained in the last two weeks of the macrocycle. Only EG was submitted to tapering. Tapering had 2 weeks duration, adopting the linear tapering method. Taekwondo Anaerobic Test was performed by athletes before the start of the season, which was named as pre-intervention, and the last week of each mesocycle [Prep I, Prep II and Tapering (only EG)]. Group vs. time effect interaction (p < 0.01) was identified for alactic anaerobic power, with an increase only in EG in tapering (p = 0.01). A significant group vs. time interaction (p <0.01) was revealed to fatigue index, improved anaerobic capacity being checked in EG only after the tapering period (p = 0.01). It was concluded that two weeks of linear type tapering optimized the anaerobic power and capacity of male tae-kwon-do athletes.

The main aim of the study was to validate the Portuguese version of the Subjective Vitality Scale - SVS for the Portuguese elderly population through of confirmatory factorial analysis. The existence of differences in the perception of subjective vitality among sufficiently active and insufficiently active older adults was also analyzed. A total of 309 Portuguese elderly (242 females, 67 males) aged 60-90 years (M = 68.59, SD = 6.60) participated in this study. Of the total sample, 256 are sufficiently active, while 53 are insufficiently active. The results show that the model was adjusted to data in a satisfactory way (χ² = 28.95; df = 9; CFI = .97; TLI = .94; SRMR = .04; RMSEA = .08; RMSEA 90% CI = .05 - .12), and show a concurrent validity with the Portuguese version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The data obtained allow us concluding that the Portuguese version of the Subjective Vitality Scale can be used as a measure of subjective vitality in the Portuguese elderly population. It was also verified that the subjective perception of vitality is greater among individuals sufficiently active compared with their peers that do not reach the amount of practice of recommended physical activity.

Identifying diferent anthropometric, physiological and motor aspects is essential to obtain success in sports practice. However, these components may be developed in same age subjects diferently, in part due biological development. he aim of the study was compare and correlate the explosive strength to biological maturation by sex, obtained by estimation of skeletal age based on anthropometric variables. he sample consisted of 239 subjects of both sexes, aged 10 to 13 years. Maturation was assessed by skeletal age predictive equation and upper and lower limbs explosive strength using medicine ball throw test and vertical jump, respectively. Skeletal age was assessed by skeletal age using a predictive anthropometrical based equation. Upper and lower limbs explosive strength were evaluated by medicine ball throwing test and vertical jump test, respectively. Post hoc analysis showed delayed biological development subjects had worst medicine ball throwing test performance than accelerated boys (p=0.001; d=0.96) and girls (p< 0.01; d= 2.01); regarding to vertical jump test, worst performance was also detected to maturational delayed boys when compared to accelerated ones (p=0.24; d=1.1) and girls (p=0.007; d=0.75). Regression analysis showed skeletal age explained variance of 36% and 19.2% for boys and 45.2% and 16.1% for girls upper and lower limbs explosive strength. Skeletal age is positively related to upper and lower limbs explosive strength and show higher performance for accelerated biological development young players when compared to delayed ones, independently from sex.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2017v19n4p416 Warm-up is broadly used to increase performance and protect against injury in sports. However, the effects of different models of warm-up on maximal exercise and the subsequent recovery period are undetermined. This study aimed to assess the effects of different warm-ups on performance, blood pressure and autonomic control. Fifity three subjects rested for 5 minutes and then were randomly allocated to one of four experimental groups: Control (CTR), Aerobic Warm-up (AER), Static (SST) or Ballistic (BST) stretch. Immediately after warm-up, they performed a maximal cycling test and rested for 30 minutes. Heart rate variability (HRV), Systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure were assessed throughout the entire experiment. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey post-test or two-way ANOVA followed by either Bonferroni or Dunnet post-test, when appropriate. Warm-up did not change test performance or HRV (p>.05), however, when compared between-groups, SBP was higher in BST against all groups (p<.05) after warm-up, and lower in SST and AER after maximal test (p>.05). When compared to baseline values SST showed increased SBP in recovery (p<.05) while only AER and BST showed post-exercise hypotension at 30 minutes (p<.05). In conclusion, despite the lack of effects on performance, AER and BST seem to improve while SST seems to impair the recovery of cardiovascular parameters in an autonomic-independent mechanism.

In sport, the relative age effect (RAE) refers to the advantages of participation and performance that athletes born in the first months of the selection year have in relation to those within the same age category. The aim of the present study was to investigate the RAE in athletes of the Brazilian Basketball Championship of the U-15 category in 2015, analyzing differences between sexes, geographic region, competitive level and performance of teams. The information of teams and the birth quarter (quartile) of 530 basketball players were obtained through the website of the Brazilian Basketball Confederation. The results showed greater representation of male athletes born in the first months of the year, the first and second divisions, of the Southeastern, Northern and Mid-Western regions and in female medalists. It was concluded that the RAE is present in Brazilian U-15 male basketball players, being higher in athletes of higher competitive level, particularly in the Southeastern, Northern and Mid-Western regions of Brazil. In addition, RAE proved to be associated with the winning of women’s medals.

Published: December 2017

Aging causes a reduction in the adaptive capacity of the organism. Therefore, there is a decrease in physical fitness, making it difficult to perform basic movements and the development of muscular power. Thus, to minimize this reduction, functional and traditional training can both be used; however there is no clarity about which is most effective. The aim of this study was to identify the influence of functional and traditional training on muscle power, quality of movement and quality of life in the elderly. Forty four older women were randomly divided into functional group (FG n=18), traditional group (TG n=15) and control group (CG n=11). Thirty-six sessions lasting 50 minutes were performed. Quality of life (WHOQOL-bref), quality of movement (FMS) and muscular power were evaluated. FG and TG increased significantly in relation to control group and to the initial FMS values. In FG and TG, muscle power significantly improved compared to pre-test, but not in relation to the control group. Regarding quality of life, only FG presented significant improvement. Both applied methods demonstrate the ability to improve the quality of movement and muscle power. However, functional training achieved better results in quality of life and movement.

The aim of the present study was to compare differences in heart rate (HR) response during and following exercise in obese older women with different percent body fat levels. Ninety older, obese women aged 60-87 years participated in the study, were categorized, and enrolled to one of two groups based on a lower percent body fat (LPBF ≤ 41.10 %) or higher percent body fat (HPBF > 41.10 %) as measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. The peak HR during exercise and in the first and second minutes of recovery period were compared between groups. The HPBF group presented a lower peak HR during exercise (p = 0.001) and an impaired HR recovery (p = 0.001) when compared to LPBF group. The present study demonstrated that older women who were in exceedingly obese level have an impaired heart rate response during exercise and in the recovery period, indicating possible autonomic dysfunction.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dual task multimodal physical training (MPT) on the cognitive functions and muscle strength in older adults with Alzheimer’s disease. Participants were 19 subjects with AD in the mild and moderate stages, divided into training group (TG) and control group (CG). The TG performed dual task MPT for 12 weeks. Subjects were evaluated at the pre- and post-intervention moments. The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Clock Drawing Test (CDT) and Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) were used to assess cognition. For muscle strength, the Chair Lift and Sit Test (CLST) and Manual Grasp Force (MGF) were used. The Wilcoxon test was used to analyze pre and post intragroup moments. The TG showed a significant improvement in FAB and CLST (p≤0.05) and a tendency to improve the MMSE score (p≤0.08). The CG showed significant improvement in CLST (p≤0.05). Dual task MPT improves the frontal cognitive functions and lower limb muscle strength of older adults with AD.

The aim of this study was to analyze the association between perceived neighborhood characteristics and leisure time physical activity (PA) and the moderator effect of gender, age, schooling and time spent working/studying on perceived environment and leisure PA in adults. This is a cross-sectional study conducted with 699 adults (53.1% women), distributed from 32 census tracts selected according to walkability and neighborhood income characteristics in Curitiba. Perceived neighborhood characteristics were assessed using the Brazilian version of the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale-Abbreviated (A-NEWS). Leisure time PA was evaluated through the long-version IPAQ and walking and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were analyzed separately. PA classification considered ≥10 minutes/week and ≥150 minutes/week of walking or MVPA. Associations were tested using a multilevel logistic binary model. After adjusting for potential confounders, aesthetics perception was associated with ≥10 minutes/week of walking. Additionally, access to public places for leisure remained associated with ≥10 minutes/week and ≥150 minutes/week of MVPA. The relationship between perceived access to public spaces, walking and MVPA were stronger in women and younger adults. It is concluded that a better perception of neighborhood aesthetics was associated with the practice of walking and access to public spaces with the practice of MVPA, respectively.

Published: December 2017

Interval training (HIIT / SIT) combined with resistance training (RT) has been highlighted as a strategy for the improvement of health-related physical fitness markers (HRPF) in adults. Thus, the aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy of combined training (HIIT / SIT + RT) with other exercise protocols on HRPF markers in adults. A systematic search was performed in MEDLINE via PebMed, Cochrane-CENTRAL, SPORTDiscus, LILACS, SCIELO and Scopus databases between January and March 2017, using the following keywords in English and Portuguese: physical fitness, high-intensity interval training, sprint interval training, resistance training and adults. The quality of studies was evaluated using the PEDro scale. After applying both inclusion and exclusion criteria, nine articles were selected (n = 231). The extraction of means and standard deviations from studies was performed independently by two authors and the RevMan software was used to perform the meta-analysis. Combined training interventions lasted from 6 to 12 weeks and generated greater increase in maximal oxygen uptake than other forms of exercise. The combination of interval training and strength training may be considered more effective to improve aerobic capacity levels in adults.

Published: December 2017

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a importância da educação para as relações étnico-raciais na educação infantil (E.I.), a partir de dados coletados em Salvador (Brasil) fazendo um contraponto com uma experiência de pesquisa em Braga (Portugal). Do ponto de vista teórico-metodológico baseia-se numa abordagem qualitativa de cunho exploratório, com a utilização da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, bem como incidentes críticos. Os resultados mostram que existe uma fala das crianças sobre as relações raciais, o silêncio dos adultos no espaço da família e da escola. Diante disso, a educação na/para a diversidade se coloca como um desafio/possibilidade de prática pedagógica promotora da igualdade na E.I, na perspectiva da compreensão das crianças enquanto sujeitos históricos, sociais, culturais e portadores de direitos e da participação das mesmas na construção de uma sociedade mais humana e com mais equidade.
As crianças e as aprendizagens pelo cotidiano: jogos, comunicações e relações afetivas
Authors: Valença Vera Lucia Chacon , Fontana Lidiani Morgenroth
Published: December 2017

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa de viés etnográfico realizada com 24 crianças, de 3 e 4 anos, de um Centro de Educação Infantil de uma cidade do sul de Santa Catarina que teve por objetivo descrever e refletir sobre suas comunicações, jogos e relações afetivas, nas interações ocorridas entre pares. De inspiração sociointeracionista, o trabalho recebeu as contribuições dos pesquisadores da Sociologia da Infância, da Psicologia, da Antropologia e da Filosofia, tendo por figura de fundo as aprendizagens pelo cotidiano, na perspectiva apresentada por Gilles de Brougère e por Bárbara Rogoff. Observaram-se comportamentos provenientes de uma seletividade empática; reproduções interpretativas no desempenho de papéis dos jogos simbólicos e particularidades de comportamentos relacionadas a contextos diversos.
Más allá del capitalismo colonial: diálogos y saberes socialistas como movimientos de resistencia en la educación
Authors: García Olga Franco
Published: December 2017

Uma educação para além do capital significa - não apenas - resistir aos tratados coloniais impostos pelo legado europeu e pelas adoções de práticas imperialistas, mas também de promover saídas, caminhos alternativos para a constituição de outra sociedade, marcado por valores e interesses que não estejam aliados com as grandes corporações do mercado e do status quo. Resistir também é pensar propostas pedagógicas que questionem a ordem capitalista que é incutida nas crianças desde o nascimento. A Revolução Cubana, apesar dos embargos econômicos, priorizou a educação e hoje é um exemplo de que é possível uma educação para todos/as com qualidade e equidade.
Formação de professores em contexto de reforma curricular: uma proposta habermasiana em educação matemática
Authors: Peralta Deise Aparecida
Published: December 2017

Este artigo discute o papel do professor de matemática em contexto de implantação curricular e as possibilidades de validação de uma formação de professores comprometida com o desenvolvimento de um sujeito capaz de emancipar-se na perspectiva da interação entre os mundos vivido, cultural e o sistêmico. Para tanto é tomada como referência a discussão da racionalidade filosófica e pedagógica das orientações para diretrizes do Currículo do estado de São Paulo, a partir do paradigma da Teoria da Ação Comunicativa. Participaram duas professoras que foram envolvidas em entrevistas e filmagens que caracterizaram seus discursos e práticas de ensino e de avaliação, antes e após uma intervenção. A intervenção foi composta por discussões, entre cada uma das professoras e a pesquisadora, sobre características e possibilidades de interpretação de diretrizes oficiais e práticas docentes à luz da teoria habermasiana. Tais discussões se mostraram um recurso de análise da própria prática que impedem a ocorrência de processos de subordinação às questionáveis diretrizes e procedimentos impostos pelas políticas e programas públicos da Secretaria de Estado da Educação de São Paulo.
Diferentes representações para o conceito de inequações: uma análise de livros didáticos de matemática do ensino médio
Authors: Rezende Veridiana , Travassos Wilian Barbosa
Published: December 2017

Apresentamos neste artigo uma análise, relacionada ao conceito de inequação e suas diferentes representações, realizada em seis (06) livros didáticos de Matemática do 1º ano do Ensino Médio, aprovados pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático - PNLD 2015. Buscamos identificar as representações e os possíveis tratamentos e conversões priorizados pelos autores dessas obras, no que se refere especificamente às inequações de 1º grau, inequação-produto, inequação-quociente e inequações simultâneas. Para as análises, consideramos todos os exercícios propostos nas referidas seções e suas respectivas respostas indicadas no final do livro didático do aluno. Como resultado, no que diz respeito aos tratamentos, destacamos que os livros didáticos priorizam o tratamento algébrico para a resolução das inequações. Com relação às conversões, nossas análises mostram que esta atividade cognitiva não é priorizada pelos autores. Uma das obras, por apresentar maior número de  situações-problema, propicia a coordenação entre os registros língua natural e algébrico, fato que é positivo para o ensino de Matemática. Outra obra apresenta um maior número de registros gráficos, em relação às demais coleções, fato que pode enriquecer a aprendizagem do aluno.
Palavra, poder e fé: orações como fonte para a história da escrita
Authors: Martins Marcelo Sabino
Published: December 2017

Este texto tem como principal objetivo apresentar possibilidades outras de trabalhar com a palavra escrita como fonte para a História, seja da própria Escrita, Leitura ou da Linguagem. Sugere-se um novo “olhar” para a palavra escrita tentando “ver” além do seu significado literal, transpor as fronteiras impostas pelas linhas do papel; e navegar pelo campo das representações, buscando sentidos reais/históricos ou imaginários. Parte-se de fontes escritas carregadas de sentidos e de representações: orações manuscritas. É a partir dessas orações que se tenta pensar nos seus muitos e possíveis significados e apropriações.
A voz de polono-brasileiros: um contexto histórico sul paranaense
Authors: Pereira Ivelã
Published: December 2017

Considerando o contexto histórico de expressiva imigração polonesa no estado do Paraná, esta investigação, inicialmente, procura traçar reflexões a partir de entrevistas de polono-brasileiros do sul desse estado, com base em duas entrevistas sociolinguísticas de sujeitos nascidos e residentes na cidade de Quedas do Iguaçu (antiga “Jagoda”), as quais são constituintes do banco VARLINFE (UNICENTRO). O polonês – língua materna de tais informantes – é considerado uma língua minoritária no Brasil, e muitos descendentes restringiram seu uso por questões históricas de interdição e silenciamento, o que desencadeou um apagamento linguístico e cultural entre muitos deles. Com isso, o objetivo principal deste artigo é depreender as dificuldades encontradas pelos sujeitos entrevistados (e antepassados) em sua inserção na sociedade brasileira, levando-se em conta as variadas esferas sociais em que interagem, bem como o(s) silenciamento(s) histórico(s) e a (não) consideração do pluralismo linguístico no Brasil. Para tanto, fundamentamo-nos em: Altenhofen (2007, 2013), Calvet (2007), Delong e Kersch (2014), Doustdar (1990), Almeida e Zanini (2011), Gardolinski (1956; 1976), Maher (2013), Nadalin (2001), Oliveira (2016), Polanczyk (2010), Wachowicz (1981, 2010), além de outros teóricos dedicados a pesquisas nas áreas de história e políticas linguísticas. A partir de uma metodologia qualitativa, foram transcritos e analisados trechos em que os informantes relatam situações de uso da língua polonesa, iniciação escolar, atividades culturais étnicas, bem como sua relação com sujeitos de outras etnias. Com base em tais depoimentos, talvez seja possível pensar estratégias de propagação do pluralismo linguístico e cultural, além de contribuir para a construção da história e a manutenção da língua desses imigrantes tão silenciados – embora tão representativos ao Paraná e ao Brasil.
Fernando Pessoa e a voz de Shakespeare
Authors: Vila Maior Dionísio
Published: December 2017

Procurarei refletir sobre o sentido de emulação percetível em alguns textos de Pessoa, no que às relações que com alguns outros escritores canónicos diz respeito; abordarei a relação de pensamento e de admiração que Pessoa manteve, ao longo de toda a sua vida, com Shakespeare, bem como a relação dialógica possível de deduzir nos procedimentos de criação heteronímica pessoana e na criação de personagens shakespeareana. Por essa perspetiva, procurarei concentrar-me em diversas questões: no “problema shakespeareano” (lembrando, pelas leituras de Pessoa, alguns exemplos capazes de esclarecerem um posicionamento específico do poeta português relativamente a Shakespeare); na problemática da “alteridade” — bem como na conceção pessoana de “poeta dramático”, dos “graus da poesia lírica” e da “dinâmica dialógica” inerente à heteronímia de Fernando Pessoa (que nos reenviará, de imediato, para a teoria do fingimento pessoano); no problema da “figuração psicológica” inerente ao poeta dos heterónimos e ao poeta nascido em Stratford-upon-Avon; na “ansiedade da influência” (através da qual refletiremos no papel do heterónimo Alberto Caeiro).

Este trabalho registra as espécies de Lonchaeidae obtidas de frutos de Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck coletados em áreas do polo citrícola do estado do Pará, Brasil. Três espécies de Lonchaeidae infestaram frutos de C. sinensis, sendo Neosilba glaberrima (Wiedemann) a predominante.
Notas sobre o papel da cultura no desenvolvimento em Celso Furtado
Authors: Caetano João Evanio Borba , Missio Fabricio José
Published: December 2017

O objetivo do artigo é retomar alguns elementos da análise de Celso Furtado sobre o papel da cultura no desenvolvimento. Para tanto, a partir de elementos da abordagem histórico-estrutural, articula-se inicialmente a conexão entre os conceitos de desenvolvimento, cultura e dependência. Posteriormente, a partir de uma análise crítica, discutem-se as consequências, para o desenvolvimento dos países periféricos, da ausência de autonomia dos centros nacionais de decisão e o papel da cultura enquanto instrumento de dominação. Por fim, apresentam-se algumas considerações sobre o caso brasileiro. Em termos conclusivos destaca-se a necessidade dos países subdesenvolvidos lutarem pela valorização da cultura local como forma de determinar os rumos do processo social, sendo que o estado tem papel fundamental nesse processo.
O concurso público e as novas competências para o exercício da magistratura: uma análise do atual modelo de seleção
Authors: Feitosa Gustavo Raposo Pereira , Passos Daniela Veloso Souza
Published: December 2017

O trabalho avalia o atual modelo de concurso em face das novas competências reputadas essenciais para o exercício da magistratura. Trata-se do resultado de uma de pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa, cujos dados foram coletados a partir da análise de provas de concurso para ingresso no cargo de juiz de todos os Tribunais de Justiça dos Estados e dos Tribunais Regionais Federais, realizados no período de  2007 a 2012. Verificou-se que a forma dos concursos para juiz, não obstante se mostrar como um método democrático e isonômico, oferece poucos recursos para o recrutamento de candidatos com competências necessárias ao desempenho da magistratura no atual cenário social e político do país. Ao privilegiar o conhecimento técnico e a capacidade de memorização aferido em provas de múltipla escolha e utilizar de maneira limitada a formação interna, por meio das escolas de magistratura, o Judiciário abdica de efetivamente escolher o perfil de magistrado mais adequado para a função.
