The Methodological Pluralism and the Multiple Intelligences in Teaching Electrical Circuits
Get PDFThis essay investigated how the plurality of teaching methodologies proposed by Laburú e Carvalho (2001) can contribute to the development of different types of intelligence in high school students. A bibliographical review was done on the theory of multiple intelligences by Howard Gardner and about the methodological pluralism with the goal of developing a democratic learning unit that would stimulate many types of intelligence and that would involve the biggest amount of students possible. The data was collected through the audio taping of classes, the observation of participants and a questionnaire done at the end of the unit. To do the analysis of the data, the Discursive Textual Analysis proposed by Moraes and Galiazzi (2007) was chosen. The intelligence spectrum was defined as a priori categories. It was observed that some methodologies stimulate a range of intelligences that was not initially expected. Besides that, practical activities in groups demonstrated to be the best way to stimulate multiple intelligences. At last, the manifestation of eight intelligences during the research were verified, a fact that was only possible due to the diverse methodologies used
A Learning Trajectory to the Understanding of the Curve Length Concept
Get PDFIn this article, we present results of a research study focusing on the analysis of a hypothetical learning trajectory carried out with students taking a mathematics teaching degree. The aim of this study was to examine students’ understanding of the concept of curve length. The qualitative research was carried out with nine students participating in a course on Differential and Integral Calculus discipline of a private university in which that content was approached. The data were obtained through records of the students' worked out solutions, notes from observation recorded in the teacher's field diary and audio recordings made during the course development. From the analysis of the results, it can be inferred that the students showed gaps in their previous knowledge and difficulties on how to use that knowledge in the construction of new concepts; however, evidence was observed that the planned hypothetical learning trajectory facilitated, in part, the understanding of the concept of curve length
Differential Equations: Between the Theoretical Sublimation and the Practical Universalization
Get PDFIn this paper, we present, briefly, the bifront character of the ordinary differential equations (ODE): on the one hand the theoretical specialization in different areas and on the other, the multiplicity of applications of the same, as well as some reflections on the development of a course of ode in this context
School Inequalities and Urban Welfare: Going beyond Socioeconomic Status with Data Science
Get PDFThe fast-changing Brazilian urban reality segregates people in socio-spatial terms and distributes urban public resources unfairly, threatening student’s access to the structure of educational opportunities and causing school inequalities. Factors such as the existence of public lighting, open sewage and garbage accumulated around the homes, as well as electricity and water supply, sanitation, and the number of residents per bathroom, are discussed as predictors of school achievements as measured using their average IDEB (Basic Education Development Index) outcomes using Data Science methods. It was found that resident/bathroom density and the household wall material in a municipality have a higher correlation with its average school achievements than the average students’ socioeconomic status, relations that are clearly illustrated through bivariate choropleth maps across all the 5,388 Brazilian municipalities with available valid data. These results are compatible with research that reveals the presence of a “neighbourhood effect,” such that the distributional inequalities in infrastructure access and ultimately the notion of urban welfare reduces educational opportunities and engenders social inequalities, what is incompatible with the ideal of a sustainable society
Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção/ Hiperatividade (TDAH): Um olhar voltado para os pais
Get PDFO presente artigo apresenta o trabalho realizado em uma escola pública do município de Cascavel, PR, onde se trabalhou com pais e ou responsáveis de crianças com o Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção/Hiperatividade. Intenta-se saber se esses pais e/ou cuidadores, ao receberem o diagnóstico, também recebem as orientações necessárias acerca do transtorno, bem como informações sobre como lidar com essa criança de maneira adequada. Foi aplicada uma pesquisa exploratória de ordem qualitativa para avaliar a importância desta orientação, onde se utilizou uma pesquisa-ação que ocorreu por meio de seis encontros quinzenais, através de questionários semiestruturados, Workshops, dinâmicas, entre outras atividades. Os resultados apontados mostram que em sua maioria, pais e/ou responsáveis, no momento do diagnóstico não recebem as orientações necessárias acerca do transtorno, mas sim, orientação quanto a dosagem e uso da medicação
Peter Pan e os lugares secretos da infância: da Ilha da Terra do Nunca ao aconchego da casa debaixo do chão
Get PDFEste artigo identifica no conto de Peter Pan alguns lugares secretos do imaginário infantil: uma ilha situada num algures, o voo, uma casinha debaixo do chão, e particularmente o presente eterno. Estes lugares são outros modos da infância (Wendy) e da juventude (Peter Pan) se dizerem, se revelarem. A análise da obra permite uma aproximação da infância imaginal, complementa as dimensões da infância desveladas pela psicologia infantil, pela sociologia da infância, etc. e ilustra como o olhar dos Estudos do Imaginário muito enriquece, numa perspetiva interdisciplinar, os estudos da literatura infanto-juvenil.Palavras-chave: utopia, ucronia, voo, casa, mãe
Expectativas e crenças pessoais acerca do uso álcool entre população de internados e não internados
Get PDFO álcool é a droga mais utilizada no mundo, sendo causa de doenças, violência e mortes. A compreensão das expectativas e crenças em relação ao seu consumo, precedem seu uso, com isso, este artigo objetivou comparar as crenças e expectativas do uso do álcool em usuários internados (UI) e usuários não internados (UNI). Foram avaliados 130 casos utilizando uma Ficha de Dados Pessoais, o Inventário de Expectativas e Crenças Pessoais Acerca do Álcool- IECPA e o Teste de Identificação de Desordens devido ao uso do Álcool- AUDIT. Os resultados apontaram para uma maior prevalência de crenças e expectativas no grupo UI, denotando ser um grupo mais frágil em relação ao consumo de álcool. O presente estudo aponta para a importância do planejamento de prevenções e tratamentos considerando as diferentes crenças dos sujeitos
The Dimensions of Making Sense: The Understanding of Exponential Functions from an Investigative Activity
Get PDFThis research is part of the ongoing Master's dissertation entitled "From the Carbon Atom to the Great Populations: Teaching Exponential Functions under the perspective of Problem Solving" of the Post-Graduation Program in Teaching Natural Sciences and Mathematics of the Regional University of Blumenau (FURB), which sought to verify the contributions of the Teaching-Learning-Assessment Methodology through Problem Solving and the use of GeoGebra software for learning exponential functions. In this specific work, we seek to relate Problem Solving as a theme of the actual current of teaching Mathematics called Making Sense and to verify its implications for the learning of exponential functions. For this purpose, an activity was developed and applied involving Newton's Cooling / Heating Law with the purpose of relating the tabular, algebraic and graphical representations of the exponential functions, validating the results from an experimental practice based on the dimensions of the Making Sense. This activity was applied in a 1st year high school class and it was verified that this problem allowed to contextualize the program content, as well as to promote the learning of new concepts from a practice in which the student becomes the main agent of his learning and the teacher acts as a mediator in this process, encouraging and instigating when necessary. In the end, it was noticed that the students have understood the involved concepts without needing the direct intervention of the teacher
