ABSTRACT.
Improvement in hand hygiene has been strongly associated with positive outcomes in maternal and child health. Although Bangladesh has a high level of awareness of key hygiene messages, the practice of handwashing, the most effective hygiene behavior, is low. Suchana, a multisectoral nutrition program, aims to increase knowledge and practices around various water, sanitation, and hygiene settings in Sylhet region, the northeast of rural Bangladesh. This study aimed to investigate the changes in indicators related to handwashing knowledge and practices among Suchana beneficiaries in final compared with baseline evaluations. Data were derived from the baseline and final cross-sectional evaluation survey. The following handwashing knowledge and practices were considered: handwashing before preparing food, before eating food and feeding children, before serving food, after defecation, and after touching animals. The descriptive findings indicate that Suchana intervention improved handwashing knowledge and practices in the intervention area compared with the control. The odds of having knowledge of hand washing before preparing food (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.60; 95% CI: 1.30–1.98), before eating food and feeding children (aOR: 1.68; 95% CI: 1.25–2.25), before serving food (aOR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.04–1.76), after defecation (aOR: 1.74; 95% CI: 1.25–2.41), and after touching animals (aOR: 1.67; 95% CI: 1.29–2.16) were higher in intervention area than the control area. Similarly, the impact on maternal handwashing practices at final evaluation indicated successful effects of the intervention. These results suggest scaling-up of similar interventions for larger populations living in vulnerable areas of rural Bangladesh.

Authors: Souza Rodrigo Ramalho , Inocente Joana de São Pedro 
Published: July 2023

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo entender a existência de espaço para uma abordagem voltada para os multiletramentos nas aulas de língua portuguesa no ensino médio integrado ao técnico, sob a visão do professor que atua cotidianamente na escola. Para alcançá-lo, desenvolvemos uma pesquisa de campo no Instituto Federal de São Paulo (IFSP) – Câmpus Salto de abordagem qualitativa, aprovada pelo comitê de ética e dividida em duas fases. Na primeira fase, realizamos entrevistas semiestruturadas com dois professores, analisando-as em interlocução com as teorias da Pedagogia dos Multiletramentos, sendo que, por meio dessa análise, pudemos ter uma percepção mais clara de uma abordagem voltada para os Multiletramentos nas aulas de língua portuguesa do ensino médio integrado ao técnico. Em um segundo momento, com base nessa análise e nas fases da Pedagogia dos Multiletramentos, propostas pelo grupo Nova Londres (CAZDEN et al., 1996) desenvolveremos um plano de aula. Esse plano será analisado – quanto à sua viabilidade – pelos mesmos professores entrevistados anteriormente. Esperamos que os resultados possam auxiliar tanto os professores de língua portuguesa que atuam no ensino médio, quanto os graduandos do curso de Letras.

Abstract
This research aims at understanding if there is room for a Multiliteracies approach in Portuguese lessons in the context of technical high school, considering teachers’ point of view.In order to reach this objective, we developed a field research at Instituto Federal de São Paulo (IFSP) –Salto campus. It is a qualitative research, approvedby the Ethical Committee and divided in two phases.Firstly, we conducted semistructural interviews with two teachers, which were analysedaccording to Multiliteracies theories. Through this analysis, we could have a clearer perception about a Multiliteracies approach in Portugueselessons in the context of technical high school. Secondly, based on those analysis and on the phases of Multiliteracies Pedagogy, proposed by The New London Group (CAZDEN et al., 1996), we will develop a lesson plan. This plan will be analysed concerning its viability by the same teachers who were previously interviewed. We expect the results can help both high school Portugueseteachers and undergraduate language students.

Authors: Lemos Bárbara 
Published: July 2023

As tecnologias inclusivas proporcionam aos alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais maior autonomia, seja por meio de recursos físicos ou virtuais, sendo de extrema importância para a concessão de oportunidades. Considerando que a acessibilidade é um direito garantido pela constituição e a educação é um direito social, buscou-se identificar os principais pontos de dificuldade na inclusão de pessoas portadoras de deficiência no âmbito escolar e verificar como a utilização das TICs (tecnologias da informação e comunicação) podem auxiliar neste processo. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de levantamento bibliográfico junto a bancos de teses e dissertações, artigos, sites do governo e mediante buscas na página do Google Acadêmico e dificuldades expostas por um aluno portador de deficiência física. Com a pesquisa foi possível verificar quais as necessidades dos alunos portadores de deficiência do IFSP- Campus Votuporanga e a possibilidade de implementação de TICs visando inclusão. Considerando os dados coletados, conclui-se que o processo de inclusão de alunos com deficiência é possível na medida em que as escolas estejam preparadas para auxiliar estes alunos de acordo com suas especificidades e que tenham condições materiais, físicas e apoios necessários para isso.

Abstract
Inclusive technologies provide students with special educational needs greater autonomy, whether through physical or virtual resources, being extremely important for granting opportunities. Considering that accessibility is a right guaranteed by the constitution and education is a social right, we sought to identify the main points of difficulty in the inclusion of people with disabilities in the school environment and to verify how the use of TICs (information and communication technologies) can help in this process. The research was carried out through a bibliographic survey of theses and dissertations, articles, government websites and through searches on the Academic Google page and the difficulties exposed by a student with a physical disability. With the research, it was possible to verify the needs of students with disabilities at the IFSP- Campus Votuporanga and the possibility of implementing ICTs aimed at inclusion. Considering the data collected, it is concluded that the process of inclusion of students with disabilities is possible insofar as schools are prepared to help these students according to their specificities and that they have the material, physical conditions and necessary support for this.
