uso do texto filosófico na educação básica: é possível ler Kant?
Authors: Dossena Luiz Felipe de Saibro
Published: February 2025

É possível trabalhar com textos clássicos da filosofia no atual contexto das escolas públicas brasileiras? Se sim, como fazer uso desses textos? Quais as possibilidades e os limites para nossas pretensões, enquanto professores de filosofia, quanto ao uso do texto filosófico? Importantes teóricos do ensino de filosofia no Brasil, tal como Lidia Maria Rodrigo, Renata Aspis e Silvio Gallo, defenderam que os textos filosóficos não apenas podem e devem ser trabalhados em sala de aula, mas ainda que tais textos devem ocupar papel central no ensino da disciplina. Cabe refletir sobre essa proposta a partir da realidade na qual estamos hoje inseridos, pretensão do texto que se segue e cujo objetivo é discutir as possibilidades e os limites do uso do texto filosófico a partir do relato de minha experiência no estágio em filosofia, que foi realizado em uma turma do segundo ano do Ensino Médio em uma escola pública da cidade de Santa Maria, RS.
Modos de pensar a escola: estudos de gênero e tempo livre para emancipação dos/as estudantes
Authors: Seiffert Thays de Lima
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo nasce das discussões de uma narrativa desenvolvida em uma disciplina cursada no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, cujo objetivo fora tensionar os modos de pensar a escola, da modernidade ao contemporâneo. Pretende-se colocar em destaque a importância das relações de gênero no campo filosófico-educacional, através de uma problematização de documentos que orientam as políticas públicas educacionais brasileiras, tais comoa Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e o Referencial Curricular Gaúcho do Ensino Médio (RCG/EM). Apresenta um estudo a respeito das concepções de alienação, poder e corrupção presentes no livro Em Defesa da Escola: uma questão pública de Jan Masschelein e Maarten (2017), bem como se vale das críticas ultraconservadoras chamadas de “ideologias de gênero” no âmbito escolar como formas de pensar modos contemporâneos de alienação, poder e corrupção presentes nos processos de escolarização.
Uma curta introdução à escrita acadêmica e ao trabalho acadêmico
Authors: Loque Flavio Fontenelle
Published: February 2025

Para os(as) estudantes de filosofia, a transição do Ensino Médio para o Ensino Superior implica deparar-se com um nível significativamente mais alto de exigência quanto à leitura e à escrita. Em especial nos períodos iniciais, umas das principais dificuldades enfrentadas pelos(as) estudantes decorre da ausência de uma compreensão clara (i) dos elementos estruturantes dos textos filosóficos, (ii) das características básicas dos gêneros de escrita acadêmica e (iii) de algumas tarefas corriqueiras do trabalho acadêmico. O presente artigo tem como objetivo elaborar uma explicação sintética desses três pontos e, ao final, fornecer uma orientação bibliográfica que permita um aprofundamento da compreensão de cada um deles.
Contornos curriculares do ensino de filosofia no ensino médio em teses doutorais defendidas após a MPV 746/2016
Authors: Chaves Kleber Santos , Eugênio Benedito Gonçalves
Published: February 2025

Apresentamos no artigo em tela os resultados de uma Revisão Sistemática de Literatura (RSL) cujo objetivo de pesquisa foi indicar os contornos curriculares do ensino de Filosofia no ensino médio em um corpus formado por sete teses cuja investigação atravessou, simultaneamente, o campo do Currículo, do Ensino de Filosofia e do Ensino Médio e que tenham sido defendidas no Brasil após a Reforma dessa etapa da educação básica (MPV 746/2016, convertida na Lei 13.415/2017) até 2022. Para tanto, nos aportamos teoricamente na Teoria do Discurso de Ernesto Laclau e Chantal Mouffe e nas curriculistas Alice Lopes e Elizabete Macedo. Metodologicamente nos inspiramos na Análise de Conteúdo de Laurence Bardin e nos procedimentos da RSL, adaptados da indicação de Maria Cristiane Galvão, Ivan Luiz Ricarte e Chitu Okoli. Compreendemos com a pesquisa que há uma divergência entre a ambiência criada pela Reforma e pela Base Nacional Comum Curricular e as necessidades apontadas nas teses para um ensino filosófico.
Mobilizar, defender e justificar: a importância e os desafios da disciplina de Filosofia na educação contemporânea
Authors: Bocalon Paulo Cesar , Silva Adriano Alves da , Porreca Wladimir , Scorsolini-Comin Fabio
Published: February 2025

Este estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma análise crítica acerca da importância e dos desafios enfrentados na disciplina de Filosofia na educação básica brasileira. Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica, propõe-se uma reflexão sobre como a Filosofia pode ser necessária para uma educação integral na contemporaneidade, bem como identificar alguns dos obstáculos que, historicamente, têm comprometido sua efetivação na educação básica. Buscou-se não somente enfatizar a indiscutível relevância da Filosofia na educação integral dos estudantes, mas expor estratégias para superar os desafios impostos pelo modelo neoliberal em vigência em nosso país. A postura crítica e reflexiva defendida pela disciplina deve orientar perenemente o trabalho docente, a seleção de conteúdos e a integração desses saberes aos de outros componentes em vigência na política educacional contemporânea. Mobilizar, defender e justificar a importância da presença da disciplina de Filosofia na educação básica apresenta-se como um desafio que deve ser assumido coletivamente.
Considerações sobre o projeto de vida e o ensino de filosofia no novo ensino médio
Authors: Alves Mauricio Silva
Published: February 2025

A proposta de um ensino de filosofia imbricado ao projeto de vida, de algum modo ser equiparado ao trabalho filosófico – como muitas vezes o trabalho em arquitetura – é antes de tudo um trabalho sobre Si-mesmo. O presente estudo manifesta o entendimento de que é preciso considerar o Ensino de Filosofia no Novo Ensino Médio como elemento fundante para a construção do projeto de vida. Essa afirmação está pautada no que direciona a competência geral número 8 da BNCC e seus desdobramentos no Documento Referencial Curricular da Bahia. Pautado do método bibliográfico,este artigo apresenta como resultado a valorização da prática pedagógica inserida no componente curricular da licenciatura em filosofia, como elemento potencializador do fazer docente do professor de filosofia no ensino médio, oferecendo-lhe substratosfilosóficos para lidar com o projeto de vida. Frente a essa empreitada do projeto de vida relacionado com o ensino de filosofia está, além de uma concepção puramente teórica, uma discussão pautada no campo prático-existencial.
Entre a Filosofia e a Tecnologia: reflexões sobre a formação da Consciência Crítica por meio do Currículo Paulista no Novo Ensino Médio
Authors: Frau Erica Cristina , Oliveira Adaor Marcos de
Published: February 2025

O artigo busca refletir sobre a formação da consciência crítica a partir da utilização das tecnologias digitais no ensino de Filosofia nas escolas públicas do estado de São Paulo depois das alterações do Novo Ensino Médio e da implementação do Currículo Paulista no ano de 2020. O objetivo é refletir sobre como o uso dessas tecnologias influenciam a formação da consciência crítica dos estudantes. Utilizando a análise do discurso como metodologia, o estudo está organizado em três partes: a primeira aborda o esvaziamento da Filosofia no Novo Ensino Médio explicitando as reduções na quantidade de aulas ano após ano; a segunda trata da obrigatoriedade dos Materiais Digitais elaborados e ofertados pela Secretaria da Educação do estado de São Paulo; e a última reflete sobre o papel das plataformas digitais BI Educação, Tarefa SP e Prova Paulista no ensino de Filosofia. A conclusão aponta para uma preocupação com o uso excessivo de tecnologias, que têm priorizado o desempenho e a superprodução de resultados em detrimento da formação crítica dos alunos. Embora o Material Digital seja apresentado como um recurso adaptável, o artigo questiona sua aplicabilidade e eficácia no contexto educacional, destacando a sobrecarga de conteúdo e a superficialidade nas aprendizagens propostas. A reflexão crítica, essencial para o ensino de Filosofia, está sendo comprometida pelo modelo atual de uso das tecnologias digitais nas escolas.
Marketing preditivo: a armadilha da personalização da informação
Authors: Oliveira Thalles Rodrigues
Published: February 2025

O presente texto versa sobre o marketing preditivo e a personalização da informação. A personalização compreende o caráter inaugurador da pós-modernidade, dado que esta ideia elabora o empreendimento de si, o torna-se a si mesmo. É concebida em um momento de flexibilidade da sociedade, alto consumo de bens e, a julgar que este consumo causa prazer, logo invoca-se a estrutura do hedonismo a partir da lógica da sedução pelo marketing. É importante uma leitura pragmática sobre a pós-verdade e a personalização algorítmica, com base na filosofia de Charles Sanders Peirce. Pretende-se evidenciar, a partir do pensamento do filósofo C.S. Peirce, a organização dos internautas por um método de fixação da crença. Peirce afirma que o objetivo da crença é um estado de calmaria. Em razão da procura por essa posição estável, os usuários adotam o Método da Tenacidade, segundo o qual é suficiente apenas ter uma crença, que não necessariamente deve ser fundamentada, mas que deve, sim, cumprir o objetivo de uma crença, que é a felicidade. Portanto, busca refletir como o método utilizado fortalece o surgimento da Pós-verdade e dos seus elementos Fake News e Negacionismo. A Fake News vem a ser um discurso construído com o fim da manipulação, já o negacionismo é o sentimento de ódio e a luta pelo enfraquecimento das instituições estatais e científicas que têm o intuito de estabelecer a produção de conhecimento.
Vigilância digital e o ensino de filosofia: reflexões para uma educação crítica digital
Authors: Rezende Junior Marcos Fernandes de
Published: February 2025

Este artigo tem como objetivo explorar a temática da vigilância digital, a partir da fundamentação teórica desenvolvida por David Lyon. Através do diagnóstico referente aos desafios proporcionados pelo avanço das tecnologias digitais, a vigilância é interpretada como um fenômeno cultural dos tempos atuais. E visto que a vigilância digital pode indicar preferências, comportamentos, anseios e desejos, perguntamos: a temática não seria suficientemente significativa para ser tratada como questão educacional? Acreditamos que sim. Desta forma, compreender os sistemas de coleta, registro e classificação dos volumosos dados que circulam em enorme velocidade e variedade, pode colaborar para o processo de ressignificação das práticas digitais. Portanto, reivindica-se através da educação, a formação de uma postura crítica digital. O artigo sugere o ensino de filosofia para tal objetivo, justificado a partir da interpretação de uma reflexão ímpar, que se detém à raiz dos problemas, numa perspectiva abrangente e crítica de ruptura com o senso comum.

TEKNOLOGI MEMBRAN MIKROFILTRASI (MF) UNTUK PEMURNIAN TOTAL NITROGEN DARI SAMPAH CAIR (LEACHATE) DI TPA WANCI MEKAR KERAWANG
Authors: Nurhayati  , Yadi Supriyadi
Published: February 2025

Waste processing is currently being at the level of the government, especially solid waste, while liquid waste (leachate) has not been widely processed. Liquid waste is very disturbing to the environment because of the odor from the decomposition process of microorganisms and a little photolysis process. Leachate will cause the environmental carrying capacity to exceed and the impact of this leachate will continue because the community around the TPA location will use the river water that passes through the area to irrigate rice fields and other plants. Thus, it is necessary to conduct research on liquid waste (leachate) that is dumped into water areas, especially into rice fields, which can be used as liquid fertilizer after knowing the characteristics of the organic content in it using membrane technology. Leachate that has been centrifuged enters the feed tank and is then given a pressure of 1.2.3 Bar and a filter time of 15, 30, and 45 minutes. The results obtained are the performance of the Microfilter membrane so that the leachate flux is high, namely at a pressure of 2 bar with a time of 15 minutes, a flux value of 286 l / m2, hour will be obtained. The highest concentration of total nitrogen value was obtained at a pressure of 1 bar with a time of 15 minutes, which was 1920.800 mg/l. Based on the analysis of diversity on the total nitrogen value, it was obtained that the F count for the pressure factor was 1384.149 and the F count from the Time factor was 1231.843, when compared with the F value from the F distribution list (F table) it turned out that both were very significant as well as seen in the interaction

ReCLif: PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING MODEL TO IMPROVE CRITICAL THINKING FOR BEGINNER LEARNERS
Authors: Darmawan Handi , Suherdiyanto  , Muhammad Lahir
Published: February 2025

Indonesia's SDGs Roadmap 2030 underlines the importance of improving critical thinking skills to achieve sustainable development goals. Students still experience difficulties in developing critical thinking in biology learning. Conventional models are often considered less effective while complex problem-based learning models can be cognitively burdensome for novice learners. Another factor contributing to this problem is the lack of opportunities for students to apply their knowledge in real situations and solve complex problems. This research aims to develop and test the effectiveness of the ReCLif model as a simple and more effective alternative to problem-based learning for beginner learners. The ReCLif model is designed to provide challenges appropriate to the cognitive level of novice learners. This research uses research and development methods from Plomp and Nieveen as well as an experimental design to compare the ReCLif model with a control group. The research results show that the development of the ReCLif model learning syntax is an integration of complex thinking teaching and learning strategies with 3C3R design problems and 4C/ID instructional design with three learning stages (1) exploring real life; (2) using complex thinking skills; and (3) creating solutions for life situations. The results of the quade rank analysis of covariance test, obtained a Sig value. (0.000) <0.05 (?), then H0 is rejected and the research hypothesis is accepted. This means that there are significant differences in critical thinking skills in students between classes given learning using the ReCLif model, CTL model and TPS model. The results of the Bonferroni Dunn test show that the corrected mean value for the ReCLif model is 80.46, the TPS model is 71.27 and the CTL model is 70.57. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in the mean value of critical thinking skills between the ReCLif learning model and the CTL and TPS models.

Authors: Pratama Raditya , Rohmana Via Diah
Published: February 2025

This research is motivated by the findings of a lecturer teaching sports courses at the engineering study program of Cipta Wacan Christian University in Malang who reported low student enthusiasm during class learning. This raises the need for innovative methods to increase student learning motivation. This study aims to identify the effect of the application of ice breaking on learning motivation and student activity in learning sports courses in the classroom. The method used is quantitative research with descriptive design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and the internet, with a sample of 45 students consisting of 21 Civil Engineering students and 24 Mechanical Engineering students. The results showed that the application of ice breaking had a significant impact on student learning activities, with the results of data analysis showing an interval score of 63-84, which reflected a very good level of success. Students become more motivated, and learning activities increase. In conclusion, the application of ice breaking in learning sports courses can effectively increase student motivation and learning activities, making it a relevant strategy to be implemented in the Engineering study program

Regular readers of this blog might remember that back in June of this year, I suggested that the Royal Society should employ a wikipedian in residence. After emailing, blogging and other ranting, Paul Nurse got in touch with me to say that the Society was sympathetic to the idea and would investigate. His email is reproduced below: From: […]

Published: February 2025

Talk of machines taking over the planet is the stuff of science fiction but if world domination was just a simple numbers game, some machines have already “taken over” from their human masters. One machine, the particular brand of computer processor found inside all iPhones and lots of other electronic devices, has been quietly spreading around the globe at a phenomenal rate.

If you travel back in time, to around 2002, it isn’t difficult to find people claiming that Web services were going to be the new silver bullet technology to create world peace, eradicate global poverty and finally make some sense of all the data produced by the human genome project. Over hyped? Just a bit.

The debate about Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is making lots of people think harder about education and how people learn. Are we witnessing Higher Education’s Napster moment, where online services replace physical ones [1] ? Is undergraduate education over-priced [2]? How can education be improved [3]?

Background: Soft skills have a considerable influence on the personal and professional development of future employees, affecting employment opportunities and work success. Purpose: The aim of the empirical analysis described in this paper is to define the groups of key soft skills in the business context of Hungary and Serbia. The obtained results aid the creation of a unique methodology in soft skills teaching and assessment at the universities of these neighbouring countries with a high potential for mutual transfer of students and workforce. Study design/methodology/approach: Authors performed factor analysis and Spearman's correlation on a sample of 906 students during 2023 from the Budapest Business University, Hungary and from the University of Novi Sad, Serbia. Findings/conclusions: Based on the obtained results, it was determined that there are three groups of skills most crucial for the employer. The group of business agility skills includes leadership, entrepreneurial, team and time management skills. People skills are: IT skills, language skills, empathy, appearance, ethical and moral skills, presentation skills. The group of innovative thinking skills includes: strategic thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills. Spearman's correlation indicated that there was a statistically significant positive correlation between students' perception on the possibility that they can learn all the mentioned soft skills groups during higher education, as well as a statistically significant negative correlation with the willingness to pay for extra courses in the field of the mentioned soft skills groups. Limitations/future research: The first limitation is geographical focus of our sample and the second limitation of the study is that we examined the importance of soft skills solely from the students' perspective. In the future, such research should be obtained in all neighbouring countries, as well as through employee survey.

Published: February 2025

Traffic accidents represent one of the main safety problems in urban areas. This paper is based on assumption that the analysis of traffic accidents can identify critical locations in urban areas that are crucial for traffic monitoring and its management is taken as a starting point, in order to achieve greater traffic safety. The presented analysis utilized traffic accidents within the city of Belgrade as the underlying data while the execution was carried out using a geo-informational software system. The aim of the paper is to present one approach for determining critical locations. The proposed approach was demonstrated with a set of data on traffic accidents that occurred in 2021 in three central Belgrade municipalities.

Published: February 2025

Open public spaces, as an indispensable factor of socialization, recreation and public life, represent an important aspect of urban contexts from the point of view of social sustainability. Contemporary lifestyle has changed the open public spaces usage, shifting their focus from daytime to nighttime. Existing research indicates that the female population feels a higher level of vulnerability in open public spaces during nighttime use. In pedestrian zones, the speed of movement enables a comprehensive sensory experience of spatial features and a more articulated interpretation of the environment. The aim of this paper is to determine the level of subjective feeling of safety among the female population to improve open public space usage during the nighttime. The methodology is based on a specific analysis of the results of the survey conducted among users of the Sava Waterfront in New Belgrade, Serbia. The results of the research showed that artificial lighting has a significant impact on the overall open public space usage during the night through the spatial distribution of users and their subjective feeling of safety and comfort, as well as on the duration, frequency and manner of usage. This study has the potential to enhance planning and design practices related to outdoor lighting, facilitating a more active and inclusive utilization of open public spaces, consequently enhancing the overall livability of these spaces and their social sustainability.

The paper presents the applied approach in the implementation of UN Women's project in Serbia "Safety of Girls and Women in Public Space". Five thematic workshops on improving public urban planning policies were conducted by the expert team of the Institute of Architecture and Urban & Spatial Planning of Serbia - IAUS, in the period from May to September 2023. Educational workshops, with a high level of participation, were intended for urban planners and designers, experts dealing with spatial, economic, social and environmental aspects of urban planning, but also other participants in whose jurisdiction is decision-making, as well as taking care of the arrangement, maintenance and ensuring of order and peace in public urban space. The workshops are designed as flexible and adapted to all participants, encouraging active participation and free presentation of experiences, attitudes and exchange of opinions, and if necessary, replacement of roles. The main goal was to disseminate information and raise awareness of participants on the topic of urban security and gender sensitive planning, first through the earning of theoretical knowledge, and then through practical application using planning methods and tools through simulation of teamwork at specific city locations. The relations between public urban spaces and users were analyzed, personal sense of security from the point of view of women and girls, sharpened observation of imperfections in space that can cause unpleasant and unsafe situations and adoption of a set of preventive measures to improve the situation. The final result is the creation of the document "Roadmap for Implementing Urban Safety Measures in Urban Planning" created on the basis of discussion and observations. This material offers concrete recommendations for changing the relevant legal framework at the national level and proposes the introduction of the topic of urban security as an obligation in the field of urban planning. In conclusions the paper provides an overview of applied methods, gained experience and recommendations for future educational workshops, analyzes the achieved results and points to concrete proposals for further formalization of the topic of gender sensitive space and women's safety within the framework of domestic urban planning practice.

“In the Beginning was the Deed”: A Study of Trotsky’s Marxist View of Religion
Authors: Ding Man
Published: February 2025

本文首先说明，托洛茨基在宗教本质的认识方面坚持马克思、恩格斯的观点，将宗教视为自然和社会人间力量的超人间形式外衣。其次，在褪除宗教外衣的方法上，他指出要坚持以无产阶级动向为基准，以自然科学和社会科学褪除自然和社会的宗教外衣。再次，在新生苏维埃政权的宗教工作方面，他指出了经济建设与文化建设对宗教工作的重要性。本文认为，托洛茨基坚持和发展了马克思主义宗教观，在无神论宣传和宗教工作上对俄国无产阶级革命和政权建设起到了积极作用，研究其宗教观对建设新时代马克思主义宗教学、推进中国宗教治理现代化、积极引导宗教与社会主义社会相适应具有启发意义。
A Textualistic Reinterpretation of the Development of Rosa Luxemburg’s Political Economic Thought in the Context of Imperialism
Authors: Chen Haodong
Published: February 2025

罗莎·卢森堡是第二国际时期独树一帜的思想家，其政治经济学思想经过丰富的革命进程而逐渐成熟。卢森堡政治经济学思想本质上是对帝国主义的批判，集中体现出两种不同的批判前景。一是发轫于《波兰的工业发展》文本群。卢森堡在波兰与俄国的经济联系的分析中，形成从资本主义外部找到帝国主义空间扩展因子的思想雏形。二是发轫于《社会改良还是革命？》文本群。卢森堡在与伯恩施坦等修正主义者的对抗性阐释中考察到了发达资本主义的危机在于无法在过剩生产中实现扩大再生产。最终，卢森堡在《资本积累论》文本群中完成了两种帝国主义批判进路的融贯，将危机根源最终指向非资本主义世界，在帝国主义的现实转用中形成了独特的理论创新。
James Steuart’s Theory of Social Formations and Its Influence on Marx
Authors: Wang Zilong
Published: February 2025

1767 年出版的《政治经济学原理研究》提出了较为完整的政治经济学体系。斯图亚特以政治领域、城乡发展、贸易模式和技术发展作为社会形态理论的切入点，这四种关键要素在历史运动中呈现复杂且动态的、此消彼长的关系，这一观点超越了英国古典政治经济学的抽象理论预设。根据这四种要素，斯图亚特以经济基础为依据，将社会形态划分为游牧、农业和交换三大历史阶段，他认为人类社会是复杂的有机体，而历史发展源于经济基础和生产方式的动态演变。斯图亚特以物质生产、经济基础和原始积累这三大主题，为马克思的政治经济学理论提供了广阔的历史视野，并深刻影响了马克思历史唯物主义的形成。
The Transcendence of Marxist Political Economy Method over Scottish Enlightenment Thought: The Study of Material Interests as a Clue
Authors: Ma Jian
Published: February 2025

自政治经济学从十七世纪诞生以来，古典政治经济学家们对物质利益的历史定位，呈现出非线性的发展态势。马克思立足于物质利益范畴的“现实转向”，详细阐明斯密“劳动分工”范畴中利己主义的理论化规定与弗格森“文明社会”范畴中的“道德话语”关涉，进而捕捉到物质利益范畴所关涉的社会秩序和文明政治问题。马克思立足于对物质利益范畴的思想全貌的把握，揭示了物质利益在其具体生成过程中所呈现的科学诉求的流动性，及其继续探讨的现实空间和时代价值。
Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844: A Window to the Modern Lifeworld―A Profound Ethical Interpretation
Authors: Su Yongsheng

马克思在《1844 年经济学哲学手稿》中对现代生活世界的描绘，洋溢着对人性、自由及异化等伦理议题的深切关怀。要洞悉现代生活世界的貌态，必须在国民经济学家对我们的“隐瞒”中寻找。通过实证叙述，《手稿》深入剖析了由工人、财富与资本家构筑的现代生活世界，揭示了三者间的复杂关系及异化劳动现象，并批判了资本主义制度下劳动与财富的异化、贫富差距的扩大以及现代资产阶级社会在道德层面的腐朽与堕落等问题。可以说，《手稿》展现了马克思对现代生活世界的深刻关怀与理想社会的构想，不仅是对经济现象的分析，更是人类解放和道德进步的宣言。
