Desafios discursivos em Português como meio de instrução nas aulas de Ciências Naturais em Moçambique

Este estudo analisa as práticas discursivas em Português (L2) nas aulas de Ciências Naturais na 4ª classe do programa de educação bilíngue cujo currículo determina a pedagogia de separação de línguas, exposição máxima do Português e evitação de uso da língua primeira (L1) nas classes de pós-transição. Com base na observação de aulas lecionadas em L1 antes da transição e nas lecionadas em Português depois da transição mais as entrevistas aos professores, o estudo constatou que os baixos níveis de proficiência dos alunos em Português contribuem para que não participem e não interajam nas aulas lecionadas com base no padrão discursivo “Initiation-Response-Feedback” (IRF). Alternativamente, os professores exploram o“Safetalk” como padrão discursivo para garantir o progresso da aula sem salvaguardar a aprendizagem. O estudo conclui que os professores lecionam à luz das pedagogias instituídas pelo currículo ao invés da pedagogia bilíngue na qual não foram capacitados.Palavras-chave: Práticas discursivas em Português; Educação bilíngue; Pós--transição

Trabajo de investigación previo a la obtención del título de Magíster en Educación mención Innovación y Liderazgo Educativo.

El trabajo de investigación hace referencia al desarrollo del aprendizaje significativo en Lengua y Literatura, puesto que es una necesidad que se muestra en la actualidad cuando los niños adquieren nuevos conocimientos y necesitan ser capaces de explicar con sus propias palabras su significado. El objetivo radica en mejorar el aprendizaje significativo de la asignatura mediante material didáctico que motive e incremente los conocimientos de los estudiantes. Para ello, se siguió una metodología cualitativa no experimental, que incluye la revisión bibliográfica de las normativas, currículo y antecedentes investigativos. El estudio diagnóstico de campo se realizó mediante ficha de observación a los estudiantes de la Institución, lo que permitió la recolección de información para su respectivo análisis. En función a los resultados de la revisión de campo se propone la implementación de un cuadernillo didáctico para el aprendizaje significativo en niños de segundo grado de la Escuela de Educación Básica “La Granja”, permitiendo así planificar las actividades en el aula. Dentro de las principales conclusiones se menciona que el cuadernillo proporciona la adquisición de aprendizajes permanentes que facilitan la práctica en los momentos de su vida diaria y dentro del contexto social en el que se desenvuelven los educandos

Doses de sulfato de cálcio incrementam a atividade de peroxidase e o enraizamento de clones de eucalipto

Due to the demand of the forest-based sector and the difficulty for providing seedlings of Eucalyptus spp. produced by cutting rooting, the objective of this study was to evaluate if doses of a calcium sulphate-based fertilizer increase the peroxidase activity and the rooting of two eucalyptus clones. The study was conducted using cuttings of the eucalyptus clones IPB22 and IBP26 (Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla), in which bi-weekly applications of the fertilizer were carried out in the aerial part of the plants for 120 days at dosages of 0, 40, 80, 160 and 320 g L-1 in indoor experimental nursery. The analyzed variables were shoot height and diameter, rooting percentage and peroxidase activity. We observed that the use of doses of calcium sulphate based fertilizer, mainly 160 and 320 g L-1, increased the height, diameter, rooting and peroxidase of the mini-cuttings for both clones. Thus, this fertilizer induces the peroxidase activity, contributing to a better development of eucalyptus mini-cuttings.Diante da demanda do setor florestal em fornecer mudas de Eucalyptus sp. e devido à dificuldade de enraizamento a partir de estacas, o presente trabalho objetivou avaliar se doses de um fertilizante mineral à base de sulfato de cálcio incrementa a atividade de peroxidase e o desenvolvimento radicular de dois clones de eucalipto. O estudo foi conduzido utilizando os clones de eucalipto IPB22 e IBP26 (Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla), nos quais foram realizadas aplicações quinzenais do fertilizante, por 120 dias na parte aérea das plantas, nas dosagens de 0, 40, 80, 160 e 320 g L-1 em casa de vegetação. As variáveis analisadas foram altura da parte aérea, diâmetro do colo, porcentagem de enraizamento e atividade da enzima peroxidase. A aplicação do fertilizante à base de sulfato de cálcio, principalmente em 160 e 320 g L-1, resultou em maior altura, diâmetro de colo, enraizamento das miniestacas e atividade de peroxidase para os dois clones estudados. Dessa forma, conclui-se que esse fertilizante induz a atividade de peroxidase, contribuindo para melhor desenvolvimento de miniestacas de clones de eucalipto

Variation of malaria transmission and morbidity with altitude in Tanzania and with introduction of alphacypermethrin treated nets

BACKGROUND: Highland areas with naturally less intense malaria transmission may provide models of how lowland areas might become if transmission was permanently reduced by sustained vector control. It has been argued that vector control should not be attempted in areas of intense transmission. METHODS: Mosquitoes were sampled with light traps, pyrethrum spray and window exit traps. They were tested by ELISA for sporozoites. Incidence of malaria infection was measured by clearing existing infections from children with chlorproguanil-dapsone and then taking weekly blood samples. Prevalence of malaria infection and fever, anaemia and splenomegaly were measured in children of different age groups. All these measurements were made in highland and lowland areas of Tanzania before and after provision of bednets treated with alphacypermethrin. RESULTS: Entomological inoculation rates (EIR) were about 17 times greater in a lowland than a highland area, but incidence of infection only differed by about 2.5 times. Malaria morbidity was significantly less prevalent in the highlands than the lowlands. Treated nets in the highlands and lowlands led to 69–75% reduction in EIR. Malaria morbidity showed significant decline in younger children at both altitudes after introduction of treated nets. In children aged 6–12 the decline was only significant in the highlands CONCLUSIONS: There was no evidence that the health benefits to young children due to the nets in the lowlands were "paid for" by poorer health later in life. Our data support the idea of universal provision of treated nets, not a focus on areas of natural hypo-endemicity
