O estágio na formação do docente de espanhol: clínica da atividade, práxis e professor reflexivo crítico

IX Congresso Brasileiro de Hispanistas realizado nos dias 22 a 25 agosto 2016Esta comunicação objetiva tratar da formação de docentes para o ensino de espanhol, com foco específico nos processos formativos desenvolvidos na disciplina de Estágio Curricular Supervisionado na Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa (UEPG) no período de 2014 a 2015. O projeto do curso de Letras da UEPG prevê a formação de um professor/pesquisador e, para isso, a disciplina de estágio busca um processo formativo embasado na teoria da práxis (VÁZQUEZ, 1977) e do professor reflexivo crítico (PIMENTA e GHEDIN, 2005). Neste processo, a metodologia de trabalho é a clínica da atividade (CLOT, 2006) com a elaboração de sequências didáticas usando gêneros textuais (BAKHTIN, 2003; MARCUSCHI, 2008; DCEPR, 2006; SCHNEUWLY, DOLZ, NOVERRAZ, 2004). Na clínica da atividade, o graduando gravará sua prática no Ensino Fundamental, Médio ou Centro de Línguas Estrangeiras Modernas (CELEM) e vivenciará a autoconfrontação, ou seja, ele selecionará episódios da prática para discutir com colegas de graduação e justificar seus caminhos didáticos e se os resultados colaboraram para a aprendizagem dos alunos. No final da autoconfrontação, é elaborado um roteiro de boas práticas como guia para a aplicação das sequências didáticas. Na aplicação, o processo formativo é concluído, pois o graduando é acompanhado pelo professor da disciplina de estágio e avaliado conforme teorias estudadas e práticas discutidas. Assim, por meio da clínica da atividade e da criação e aplicação de sequências didáticas, a disciplina de estágio busca colaborar para o processo de formação do docente de espanhol voltado para a formação do professor/pesquisador.UNILA­-UNIOEST

SMEs and family Smes: specificities from the portuguese socio-business context

The composition of the corporate structure constitutes a relevant indicator of the entrepreneurial and economic dynamism of a certain country or territory. In contrast to past estimates over the past 45 years, the importance of small or very small scale entreprises has been steadily decreasing in the Portuguese business universe. The Portuguese socio-entrepreneurial fabric is predominantly constituted by small and very small scale businesses (micro companies): in 2015, 99,9% of the non financial Portuguese sector were SME [Small and Medium-size companies], and the micro scale companies represented around 96% of the total number of SME. In this context, family businesses acquire greater relevance due to/for the estimated weight they have on the economy (between 70% to 80% of the SME, also including great companies quoted on the stock exchange markets), on the creation of jopbs and on the role they play in the local development. Notwithstanding, there still is a significant unawareness of the business layouts of the family companies. In effect, these tend to be heterogeneousin terms of size, activity sector and degree of professionalization of the respective government models and human resources..The ongoing project, “Roadmap for the Portuguese family businesses” (2016-2018), financed by the NORTE 2020/ FEDER has as a central goal to contribute to a better acknowledgement and assessment of the impact of family companies in the northern region, as far as the local, national and international economy is concerned. For this purpose, it will build a database of the Portuguese northern region, mapping all the companies that present the layout of a family business and apply an online survey, combined with in-depth interviews to the various types and segments of family businesses, reinforcing their economic and social roles.Interdisciplinary Center of Social Sciences - University of Minho, UID/SOC/04647/2013 with the financial support of FCT / MEC through National funds and if applicable co-financed by the ERDF Scope of the Agreement PT2020 partnership

Intergenerational management succession: specificities of the Portuguese family business

Family firms are considered the world’s most predominant form of business organisation. Notwithstanding the fact that there is a lack of consensus with regards to their definition, on recognise that family firms are different from non-family businesses due to their specific relations at three levels, namely ownership, business and family. It would appear that the family influences, shapes and conditions both the firm and its continuity, mainly through the intergenerational management succession, its planning and effectiveness. According to a recent research focused on the entrepreneurial succession in Portugal (AEP, 2011), 50% of family businesses are not passed on to the second generation, and only 20% reach the third generation. Also, taking into account the main results from the project “Roadmap for Portuguese Family Businesses” (NORTE2020/FEDER), the empirical findings have proved that the business succession planning has been identified as one of the most challenging steps in the life of the family firm, which demands for appropriate analysis. In fact, resistance to succession, relationship founder/ successor, planning of succession, type of organisational culture, among others, explain how executive succession is one of the most important and hardest tasks in organisational life. In this article, we aim to discuss the main management challenges of a family business, particularly the importance of succession preparation and the role of the family in the socialisation of the second (third or subsequent) generation. Based on an online survey (N 1148) and on in-depth interviews conducted to founder/ manager/ owner (N 23), we will seek to point out major challenges faced by the Portuguese family business, as far as this matter is concerned.NORTE-02-0853-FEDER-00001

Overlaps between the family and the business: key insights and challenges of family entrepreneurship in Portugal

Family-oriented companies are a predominant type of company in the context of the Portuguese private business fabric. At the heart of this business typology, two structural aspects of the life of individuals coexist: work (company) and family, with multiple challenges experienced by those who create, manage and coordinate them: their entrepreneurs. Recent studies reveal that 50% of family businesses do not reach the second generation and only 20% reach the third generation (AEP, 2011). Business succession planning represents one of the main management challenges experienced in this segment of companies. This communication presents a reflection on family entrepreneurship in Portugal, offering a portrait of the family businesses in the North Region of Portugal and focusing on main management challenges, such as business succession and management professionalization. For this purpose, the main results from the research project “Roadmap for Portuguese family businesses” (2016-2018), financed by NORTE 2020 / FEDER will be presented. The aims of this project were to contribute to a better knowledge and institutional visibility of this segment of companies, as well as to assess the impact of companies Northern Region in the local, national and international economy. The data presented is the result of an eclectic methodological design that has combined a quantitative-extensive approach, based on the construction of a database with all family companies formally registered in the North of Portugal and posteriorly the application of an online survey (LimeSurvey platform) to the family entities collected in previous step, in order to better characterise the profiles of family companies, and also a qualitative-intensive approach based on the conduction of a set of 23 in-depth interviews to family managers/ owners, bearing in mind the diversity of this business typology, namely in terms of basic variables such as the sector of activity, size, year of foundation, founder’s gender

Urinary incontinence: the impact on the quality of life

Quality of life (QoL) assessment represents an emerging focus in the health area since it use can complement clinical practice and optimize resources. Urinary incontinence is a common consequence in the oncologic pathology of the prostate that severely affects QoL.A descriptive, analytical and longitudinal study was conducted with the participation of oncological patients from the ambulatory urology department of an oncology hospital unit of the North of Portugal. The sample, obtained through convenience non-probabilistic sampling between October 2015 and July 2016, included 60 patients. The ICIQ-SF was used. The impact on QOL was classified as: zero (0), no impact; from 1 to 3, slight impact; 4 to 6, moderate; from 7 to 9, severe; and, of 10 or more, very serious. Urinary incontinence had a moderate impact on the perception of QoL of patients in M0 and M1. It was observed that as the symptoms decreased, the patients’ perception of QoL increased and M3 and M6 had a slight impact.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Age Differences in Age Stereotypes: The Role of Life Domain and Cultural Context

We examined the domain-specific views of young and old people held by young (18–30 years, n = 278) and older adults (60–85 years, n = 289) in Germany, the USA, and India. Views about old and young people differed between life domains but were mostly similar across age groups and countries. Older adults in the USA and Germany – but not in India – held slightly less negative views about old people than did young people in some domains, possibly indicating a projection of better-than-expected own aging experiences of older adults into their in-group stereotypes in Western countries. The findings of our study can be explained by socialization processes, supporting mostly a developmental perspective regarding the acquisition and endorsement of age stereotypes
