Historical Evolution of the Use of Digital Technology in Teaching Mathematics in Brazilian Classrooms
Get PDFDigital technologies are important tools to adapt the teaching of mathematics to students, but even with a wide use there are few studies historically detailing this mode of teaching, so this work aims to historically demonstrate the evolution of the technologies used. To achieve this objective, a bibliographic review was carried out in the SCIELO, SBEM, SBM and PROFMAT databases, obtaining as a result 15 articles that use some resources of digital technology as a tool for teaching mathematics, thus managing to have a timeline that includes the computer, diskette, CD/DVD, webcam, digitizing tablet, video projector, digital whiteboard, and some mathematical software, concluding that teachers already use digital technology in the classroom as a means of improving the teaching-learning process

No full textAim: To report the development of an educational booklet for adult patients with asthma. Methods: Experience report on the development of an educational booklet, from March to July 2019, considering four main steps: i) survey of topics necessary for an adequate management of asthma, ii) literature review, iii) elaboration of the educational booklet in dialogue format and iv) review and printing of the material. Results: The educational booklet entitled “Tenho asma, e agora? (I have asthma, what now?)” contains 32 pages and 11 topics that address the concept of the disease, triggering factors, use of medications and inhaler devices, symptoms and action plan in case of an exacerbation. The development of this educational technology required the team to review the literature based on scientific evidence, interdisciplinary articulation, creativity and active listening until reaching the final product. Conclusion: The construction of educational booklets should value clinical practice, users\u27 doubts and identifiable language among users. Educational booklets contribute to better health outcomes
Calibration Of Stress Wave Timer for Amazonian Species
Get PDFNon-destructive testing is increasingly being used on wooden structures. One of the preferred instruments for this task is the Stress Wave Timer, because it is portable and easy to use. This instrument needs to be calibrated to minimize possible reading errors. Tests were performed on samples of different sizes from four Amazonian timber tree species, with differing distances between the start/stop accelerometers and varying gain settings. The aim was to identify errors and find the best ratio between the Metricard SWT’s start and stop accelerometers. The best ratio was observed with settings of 40 for stop and 1 for start. The calculation of the confidence interval for the mean of the stress wave velocities expresses a degree of uncertainty ranging from 2% to 8%, regardless of the species and according to the start/stop ratio. A more in-depth evaluation led to the conclusion that the greatest degree of uncertainty occurs with short pieces. This confirms the need to calibrate the equipment, especially when using the instrument with pieces approximately equal to or less than 70 cm in length. The value for offset time (intersection of the line with the axes) was determined by a simple regression analysis, and indicated that the data correction factor varied from 1.9 to 2.2 depending on the start/stop ratio, at least in the samples studied
An inclusive approach to incorporating green chemistry in a post-pandemic world
Get PDFThe Covid-19 pandemic brought several challenges to the educational system with regard to the continuity of classes in the context of an Emergency Remote Education (ERE). Among these challenges, we highlight the intensification of disinterest and low participation of students in chemistry classes and the insufficiency of didactic proposals that work with School Inclusion (SI), with a focus on accessibility for the deaf. The ERE model lasted 2 (two) years, after this period, teachers had to face a new change in the school scenario: Post-pandemic Face-to-Face Teaching (post-pandemic FFT). Thus, with the return to classes, the challenges mentioned were accentuated, bringing again the demand for the adoption of new educational strategies. Within this context, this article is justified in the development of a pedagogical intervention focused on the inclusive teaching of Chemistry in the post-pandemic FFE, linked to the principles of Green Chemistry (GC) and the 6th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). This action aimed at the elaboration of accessible didactic materials, together with the application of an experimental, contextualized, and sustainable practical class called: Batch Adsorption with activated charcoal from the endocarp of the coconut (biodegradable adsorbent). The results of the research showed that the adoption of the contextualization methodology, concomitantly with the development of the practical activity, pointed to an improvement in the teaching of Chemistry in the post-pandemic face-to-face model. Therefore, sustainable experimentation effectively contributed to the learning process and a more critical look at the socio-environmental issues discussed
We are loaded for bear! The use of zoo holiday camp for environmental education.
Get PDFEnvironmental Education in non-formal educational spaces emerges as a tool capable of making people aware of the importance of conserving natural resources. The present study aimed to evaluate the potential of a holiday camp as a tool to promote non-formal environmental education. For 5 days, a total of 19 children between 9 and 12 years old, participated in various activities held in a zoo, located in the city of Dois Vizinhos, Paraná. The research had a qualitative and descriptive character and the field diary and participant observation were used for data collection. The results indicate that the children were made aware of the importance of all animals to the ecosystem and at various times presented critical thinking about the problems caused by man to the environment. It is hoped that the activities developed can collaborate in the process of formation for change, in which people can change their relationship with the environment, not only in their daily attitudes, but as future citizens of rights who demand economic and social transformations for the conservation of natural resources
Management of Time by Teachers of Public Basic Schools in The Shama District of The Western Region of Ghana.
No full textTeaching and Learning process and other school programmes in public basic schools in the Shama District are conducted with little regard for official timelines. This negates government efforts to improve basic education delivery and effective and efficient time management. The purpose of the study was to undertake a survey of time management among teachers and pupils in basic schools in the Shama District of the Western Region in Ghana. The study used both quantitative and qualitative designs to collect data from sixteen (16) selected public basic schools. The estimated population of five hundred (500) people consisted of circuit supervisors, headteachers, teachers, parents and pupils. Using the simple random sampling technique of the lottery and convenience methods, the sample size was 132 respondents – 4 circuit supervisors, 16 head teachers, 64 teachers, 16 parents and 32 pupils. Questionnaires, interview guide and observation were used to collect the data from respondents. The study revealed teachers rarely use TLMs in lesson presentation. Supervision of instruction by circuit supervisors was infrequent. Inadequacy of core textbooks in Mathematics, Science, English Language and Social Studies, overcrowded classrooms, teachers mainly use the lecture method in lesson delivery, etc. were some of the results of the study. The study recommended timely release and disbursement of the capitation grant to schools for effective teaching and learning as well as efficient time management. Teachers should vary their instructional strategy, prompt and adequate school supplies and regular, clinical and purposive instructional supervision to improve teaching and learning outcomes in the schools

The challenges in the application of educational strategies for doctors in the Programa Mais Médicos do Brasil (PMMB): An analytical-descriptive study
No full textThis article analyzes the challenges faced for the application of educational strategies for physicians in the Programa Mais Médicos of Brasil (“More Physicians”) and the contributions of these professionals to the work processes of Family Health teams with a focus on achieving comprehensiveness of health care and the expansion of health care. access to hard-to-reach regions. It is a documentary analysis of a descriptive nature, which includes from laws and regulations, norms, opinions, letters, memo, personal diaries, autobiographies, newspapers, magazines, speeches, radio and television program scripts to books, statistics and files schoolchildren. The results indicate that there is a need for dynamic flexibility in educational actions, focusing on the needs of the population and regions that host the program to reduce care inequities and favor the strengthening of bonds between staff and users in order to provide comprehensive care . Among the challenges, we can highlight the program\u27s contribution to the reduction of practices segmented by professional categories, subordinated to the (bio)medical figure and knowledge, with limited interprofessional and team-community interaction in the construction of common care and interconstitutive knowledge. However, it could be concluded that the contribution of the doctors of the “Mais Médicos” Program in Brazil, in addition to reducing inequities and expanding access to healthcare for the population, also contributes to the deconstruction of the hegemonic medical model, taking into account the importance of interdisciplinary knowledge for the success of comprehensive health care. In addition, it reiterates the importance of dynamic actions focusing on local and territorial reality for educational strategies, as territories have peculiar characteristics, developing the critical-reflective process of professionals and capable of solving demands in different regions
Herbicide resistance technologies in soybean cultivars
No full textThe objective of this work was to carry out a technical analysis of the biotechnologies that confer resistance to herbicides in soybeans. Two experiments were carried out (I and II) in the agricultural years 2016/17 and 2017/18, using a randomized block design with six and four replicates. In experiment I, two forms of management in weed control were evaluated for each technology studied (Roundup Ready® and Liberty Link®) and for conventional soybeans, as well as grain yield. In experiment II, the efficiency of using different herbicides to control voluntary soybeans (with and without technology) was evaluated. The pre-emergent herbicides in both managements proposed for the cultivars controlled the weeds from the emergence of the soybean crop to the application of the post-emergent herbicides in both crops. Likewise, all post-emergent herbicides showed weed control above 90% at 14 and 28 days after application. In the evaluation of the chemical control of Garra IPRO voluntary soybean, the herbicide 2,4-D stood out among the others for being more efficient in both agricultural years (above 90%). The herbicides glyphosate, 2,4-D and metsulfuron-methyl are the most effective in controlling voluntary soybean cultivars BRS 284 and CZ16B39LL
Architectural design of classroom to stimulate learning in Higher Education: An Approach Connected with Neuroeducation and Neuroarchitecture
No full textThe architectural design of learning spaces in higher education has undergone profound changes with the new educational perspectives that break with traditional pedagogical practice supported by control, hierarchy, and information dissemination. Educational institutions are gradually seeking disruptive models that enhance new learning experiences. This article presents references of innovative projects of learning and interaction spaces, that have been added to the principles of Neuroeducation and Neuroarchitecture for the development of architectural strategies for a new classroom proposal for the Bahia State University. As a result, the project brings preliminary studies to the Learning Environment Model for Higher Education (LEMHE). A flexible model, divided into three learning areas: flexible zone (active); introspection zone, and relaxing zone. This zoning aims to provide diverse experiences of pedagogical practices, added to respect the physiological needs of its users to enhance well-being and learning in higher education
