Vantagens e desvantagens do ensino das técnicas de quatro baquetas para instrumentos de lâminas nas escolas de música portuguesas
No full textRelatório de estágio - Mestrado em Ensino da MúsicaResumo I - Prática Pedagógica - O estágio pedagógico, objectivo inerente a esta importante secção, realizou-se no Conservatório de Música da Metropolitana da AMEC | Metropolitana, em Lisboa.
Inicialmente caracteriza-se esta estrutura quanto à história, estrutura e objetivos pedagógicos. O estudo da população escolar e a sua distribuição abordou-se de forma aprofundada, dissecando matematicamente a distribuição da mesma pelos diferentes cursos disponibilizados pela escola, pela faixa etária dos alunos e pelo plano curricular onde os mesmos se inserem.
Seguidamente optou-se por uma caracterização descritiva dos alunos integrantes da amostra, sob a qual o trabalho se realizou, expondo tanto os seus níveis musicais como a suas situações curricular e sociológica. Analisaram-se as suas perspetivas e motivações, contrastando-as com a abordagem do pensamento epistemológico.
Na parte orientada para a pedagogia desenvolvida incide-se substancialmente nos níveis metacognitivos e motivacionais intrínsecos de cada aluno, tal como nos objetivos, metas e estratégias previamente delineados de forma ao melhor desempenho destes.
O capítulo seguinte relaciona-se com a análise crítica da atividade docente. Apresenta-se primeiro, uma exposição metodológica do trabalho desenvolvido pelos alunos ao longo dos três períodos letivos, utilizando-se uma forma pormenorizada para a fácil compreensão da situação curricular dos alunos. Posteriormente optou-se por apresentar uma crítica analítica, abordando de sobremaneira a ótica tanto do aluno como do mestrando na apresentação e resultados da pedagogia aplicada, demonstrando-se a eficácia dos métodos pedagógicos escolhidos, assim como a recetividade e assimilação dos mesmos por partes dos alunos.
Conclui-se, depois de uma sustentada introspeção, que a realização deste relatório e das ações que lhe estão subjacentes permitiu a revisão e a consistência de conceitos didáticos anteriormente assimilados, assim como a melhoria da postura na futura atividade docente. A autoavaliação inerente ao trabalho desenvolvido constituiu-se como alavanca na melhoria continuada do papel de professor e na capacidade de análise de cada aluno, permitindo uma reflexão individual e centrada nas suas características intelectuais e psicomotoras do desenvolvimento.Resumo II - Investigação - O presente estudo tem como objetivo estudar e descrever as vantagens e desvantagens do ensino das técnicas de quatro baquetas, para instrumentos de lâminas nas escolas de música portuguesas.
Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa criou-se um modelo de investigação construído com base na experiência profissional do investigador, dada a ausência de modelos teóricos suscetíveis de aplicação ao contexto do estudo.
A nível metodológico optou-se por um estudo transversal, descritivo e exploratório, recorrendo-se ao inquérito por questionário para a recolha indireta de dados. O estudo incidiu sobre uma amostra não probabilística de trinta e três percussionistas/professores de percussão portugueses. Solicitou-se via correio eletrónico a todos os estabelecimentos de ensino superior portugueses que têm a licenciatura em música – variante percussão como oferta formativa, que distribuíssem o questionário pelos alunos e ex-alunos do referido curso.
O protocolo de tratamento dos dados teve em conta os objetivos específicos da investigação, incidindo na análise descritiva, uni, bi e multivariada. Os dados recolhidos foram tratados via Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) versão 17, cujos resultados evidenciaram que os inquiridos consideram muito importante o domínio das três técnicas - Stevens, Burton e Traditional, concordando, na sua maioria, que a escolha das técnicas tem variado ao longo do tempo. Outra questão relaciona-se com a escolha da técnica, influenciada pelo professor e pela primeira técnica com que se contacta que, por norma, é a selecionada para o desempenho diário. Os resultados evidenciaram igualmente que os percussionistas que se dedicam ao ensino da música, que tem uma pós graduação ou equivalente em Música ou que são licenciados são os que maioritariamente frequentaram estabelecimentos de ensino estrangeiros.
Não se atingiram os objetivos operacionais completamente porque logo na definição da população e, consequentemente, da amostra houve constrangimentos relacionados com a não existência de pré recolha de dados por observação direta e com o não controlo direto da distribuição/recolha dos questionários.Abstract I – Teaching - The lecturers' activity, which is an inherent objective to this section, took place at Conservatório de Música da Metropolitana of AMEC | Metropolitana, in Lisboa. In the beginning this activity is characterized in terms of history, structure and pedagogical objectives. The study of the school population and its distribution was deeply approached, mathematically dissecting such distribution by different courses provided by the school, by students' age group and curriculum plan. Then, it was decided to choose for a descriptive characterization of the students included in the sample, under which the work was carried out, exposing both their musical levels as their curriculum and sociological situation. Students' perspectives and motivations were also analyzed and compared to the epistemological thinking approach. As regards the teaching-oriented part of the course, emphasis is substantially given to the metacognitive and intrinsic motivation levels of each students, as well as to the objectives, targets and strategies previously outlined in order to reach a better performance. The next chapter is related to the critical analysis of the lecturers' activity. Firstly, a methodological exposition of the work developed by the students in the first three school years is presented. For this purpose, a detailed approach for easily understand the students' curriculum is used. Secondly, it was decided to present an analytical review, thus approaching both the students' perspective and the lecturers' during the presentation and results of the applied pedagogy, demonstrating the effectiveness of the teaching methods chosen, as well as the openness and assimilation of these by the students. It was then possible to come to the conclusion, considering a sustained introspection, that the preparation of this report and actions underlying such report allowed for the revision and consistency of instructive concepts previously assimilated as well as the improvement of the attitude while lecturer. The self-assessment to the work developed had a leverage effect as regards the continuing improvement of the lecturer's role and the analysis capacity of each student, thus allowing for an individual analysis focused on the intellectual and psychomotor development features.Abstract II – Research - The objective of the present study is to analyze study and describe the advantages and disadvantages of the four-mallets grips for tuned percussion used by the Portuguese. For the development of such research, there was the need to create an investigation model built on the basis of the professional experience of the researcher himself, considering the absence of theoretical models susceptible for the application of the study’s context. At a methodological level, the option was a cross-sectional study, that is, a descriptive and explanatory study. Therefore, it was prepared a questionnaire survey for indirectly collect the data needed. The study is focused on a non-probabilistic (unintentional) sample including thirty three Portuguese Percussion players/professors and corresponds to the fully completed and returned questionnaires. All Portuguese particular higher educational institutions, with graduate programs in Music - percussion area as the training offer - were requested to distribute the questionnaire by the students and former students in this area. The Data Management Protocol considered the specific objectives of the investigation with focus on the uni, bi and multi-varied descriptive analysis. Data collected were treated via Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17 and results demonstrated that respondents consider the domain of the three grips as very important - Stevens, Burton and Traditional. Majority of respondents agrees that the grips choice has varied over time. Other issue is related to the grip’s choice, influenced by the lecturer and by the first grip students have contact with, which, is usually the one adopted for daily performance. Results also demonstrated that drum players who dedicate themselves to the music teaching and who have a post-graduation or equivalent degree in Music or who are undergraduated, are those who attended a foreign teaching institution. Operational objectives were not completely achieved, because when defining the target population and, consequently, the sample, there were some constraints related to both the non-existing data pre-collection as regards direct observation and the non-existing direct control of delivery/collection of questionnaires.N/

Psychosocial difficulties in people with epilepsy: a systematic review of literature from 2005 until 2010
No full textThe aims of this paper are to identify factors that influence the psychosocial difficulties (PSDs) that persons with epilepsy experience in their everyday life, to describe their onset and the way they evolve over time, and to analyze the determinants of changes over time and other related variables. Electronic databases were searched for studies published in English between January 2005 and May 2010, and information from thirteen studies was extracted. The most frequent PSDs found in people with epilepsy were depressive symptoms, memory functions, quality of life, anxiety, stigma, locus of control, cognitive functions in general, and emotional functions in general. It can be stated that patients' life areas are affected by cognitive, emotional, and psychological problems. However, the majority of studies focus on isolated PSDs or on the effects of a specific determinant in the course of epilepsy, leaving some gaps that could encourage further research
Systematic literature review on ICF from 2001 to 2009: its use, implementation and operationalisation
No full textPurpose. To present a systematic literature review on the state of the art of the utilisation of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) since its release in 2001.Method. The search was conducted through EMBASE, MEDLINE and PsychInfo covering the period between 2001 and December 2009. Papers were included if ICF was mentioned in title or abstract. Papers focussing on the ICF-CY and clinical research on children and youth only were excluded. Papers were assigned to six different groups covering the wide scenario of ICF application.Results. A total of 672 papers, coming from 34 countries and 211 different journals, were included in the analysis. The majority of publications (30.8%) were conceptual papers or papers reporting clinical and rehabilitation studies (25.9%). One-third of the papers were published in 2008 and 2009.Conclusions. The ICF contributed to the development of research on functioning and on disability in clinical, rehabilitation as well as in several other contexts, such as disability eligibility and employment. Diffusion of ICF research and use in a great variety of fields and scientific journals is a proof that a cultural change and a new conceptualisation of functioning and disability is happening
UMA LEITURA DA "FEIRA DAS QUINTAS", DE OSWALD DE ANDRADE
No full textABSTRACT: Published weekly between 1926 and 1927, the column "Feira das Quintas", of Oswald de Andrade, brings the reflections of its author regarding the Brazilian artistic scene. We distinguish in the present one search the controversy with integrants of Verdeamarelismo and his comments as critical, both in a style marked for the rapidity of the journalistic language. The perception of the interference of these writings in the history of local literature and in the implantation of the aesthetic-ideological values of the Brazilian modernist movement is intended with this boarding
A systematic review of the psychosocial difficulties relevant to patients with migraine
No full textMigraine is a common disease which causes significant burden to individuals, in terms of personal suffering and activity reduction, and to societies, in terms of disease cost. The purpose of this study is to identify the most relevant psychosocial difficulties related to migraine, the variables associated with them and the most relevant determinants of their evolution over time. MEDLINE and PsychINFO were searched for studies published in English between 2000 and 2010 that examined psychosocial difficulties in persons with migraine with and without aura, from clinical trials and observational studies. Information on the description of each difficulty, its determinants of onset and change over time and associated variables were extracted and categorized at a higher level. In total, 34 difficulties have been collected from 51 papers: the most frequent were reduced vitality and fatigue, emotional problems, pain, difficulties at work, general physical and mental health, social functioning and global disability. Evidence exists that pharmacological treatments have an impact toward improvement in patients' difficulties, in particular emotional problems, physical and mental health, difficulties with employment and global disability. Migraine treatments and decreased headaches frequency are the major determinants of improvements in psychosocial difficulties, while no information is available for determinants of worsening; understanding the role of such factors is of primary public health relevance, given the high prevalence and the relevant personal and societal costs of migraine
Sucrose in the concentrated solution or the supercooled “state” : a review of caramelisation reactions and physical behaviour
No full textSucrose is probably one of the most studied molecules by food scientists, since it plays an important role as an ingredient or preserving agent in many formulations and technological processes. When sucrose is present in a product with a concentration near or greater than the saturation point—i.e. in the supercooled state—it possesses high potentialities for the food industry in areas as different as pastry industry, dairy and frozen desserts or films and coatings production. This paper presents a review on critical issues and research on highly concentrated sucrose solutions—mainly, on sucrose thermal degradation and relaxation behaviour in such solutions. The reviewed works allow identifying several issues with great potential for contributing to significant advances in Food Science and Technology.Authors are grateful for the valuable discussions with Teresa S. Brandao and Rosiane Lopes da Cunha during this research. Author M. A. C. Quintas acknowledges the financial support of her research by FCT grant SFRH/BPD/41715/2007
