    Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    This study aimed to investigate the role of the pedagogical process on the development of emotions and feelings in the preschool age, based on the analysis of the child’s school activity. This research involved observations in the classroom and an interview with the responsible teacher, in order to analyze the extent to which the pedagogical activities mobilized the emotional aspects of children and contributed to their affective-emotional development. The results showed that being recognized by the teacher in the collective is emotionally more significant than the nature and success of the task execution. It follows that understanding the dynamics of emotions in the concrete school life of pre-school children is essential for pedagogical planning that aim the emancipation of subjects.Este estudo investigou o papel do processo pedagógico sobre o desenvolvimento das emoções e sentimentos na idade pré-escolar, a partir da análise da atividade escolar da criança. A pesquisa envolveu observações em sala de aula e uma entrevista com a professora regente, a fim de analisar em que medida as atividades pedagógicas mobilizavam os aspectos emocionais das crianças e contribuíam para seu desenvolvimento afetivo-emocional. Os resultados demonstraram que ser reconhecido no coletivo pela professora é emocionalmente mais significativo que a natureza e o sucesso da execução da tarefa. Conclui-se que compreender a dinâmica das emoções na vida escolar concreta das crianças em idade pré-escolar é imprescindível para o planejamento pedagógico que vise a emancipação dos sujeitos

    This work begun in the year of 2011, with the principal aim of building and implementing a pedagogical proposal for the municipal system of children's education in the town of Bauru/SP. This building is made collectively with a work of organization, orientation and theoretical grounding. The utmost aim of the intervention is to fund a purpose of work that can guide the pedagogical practice in the educational cells connected to the municipal system of chindren's education. This proposal is materializing trough a written document that arrange the guidelines and educational principles for the reorganization of the municipal children's education. Therefore, all the teachers of the municipal children's educational system of the town, so as the present and future students benefit from this work.Esse trabalho se iniciou no ano de 2011, com o principal objetivo de construir e implementar uma proposta pedagógica para o sistema municipal de educação infantil do município de Bauru/SP. Esta construção se dá no âmbito coletivo através de um trabalho de organização, orientação e fundamentação teórica. O intuito último da intervenção é o de consolidar uma proposta de trabalho que possa orientar a prática pedagógica nas unidades escolares integradas ao sitema municipal de educação infantil. Esta proposta vem se materializando em um documento escrito que sistematiza diretrizes e princípios didáticos para a (re)organização do ensino municipal infantil. Sendo assim, serão potencialmente beneficiados pelo projeto todos os professores do sistema municipal de educação infantil e todos os alunos atualmente matriculados nas escolas que integram o município, bem como futuros alunos a serem recebidos nessas unidades escolares de ensino infantil
