UM OLHAR PEDAGÓGICO SOBRE A PARTICIPAÇÃO DA FAMÍLIA NO CONTEXTO ESCOLAR

Neste novo cenário de transformações, é preciso reconstruir o saber da escola e a formação do educador, bem como a participação da família no processo educativo. Os educadores e a família devem estar preparados para educar homens que irão formar a sociedade do futuro. É preciso uma sociedade justa, solidária e democrática e esta não pode ser como uma ilha, isolada em todos os seus lados; é preciso parceria da família, uma relação de colaboração entre instituições que compartilham objetos ou interesses comuns, neste caso,uma aprendizagem mais significativa para as crianças. Comprometer-se com a educação é um dever de todos. Descobrir é uma questão intensa de procuras que levam as pessoas a desvendarem uma nova descoberta, um novo aprender. Começar é um verbo que envolve muita ação; ação para repensar, refletir, (re)elaborar e, o mais importante, mudar para construir. Construir envolve uma busca constante do novo

Tecnologia assistiva e envelhecimento ativo segundo profissionais atuantes em grupos de convivência

Objective: To identify the knowledge of professionals about assistive technology and its importance in the elderly’s life. Method: Exploratory descriptive qualitative study performed with professionals working in three community groups in the city of Cajazeiras (state of Paraíba/PB). Data were collected through an interview with semi-structured script and analyzed according to the Content Analysis Technique. Results: Participation of 45 professionals. Four categories were identified, namely: Knowledge about assistive technology; Professionals’ lack of knowledge about available assistive technologies for implementation in work with the elderly; Use of assistive technology by the elderly; Impact on professional practices after implementation of assistive technology. Conclusion: Some of professionals have knowledge about assistive technology and others make a wrong interpretation by confusing it with working instruments. In spite of the positive impact of assistive technology on certain professionals’ practice, there is need for training in order to provide a better use of assistive technologies by the elderly.Objective: To identify the knowledge of professionals about assistive technology and its importance in the elderly’s life.

Dicionário Escolar e Livro Didático: uso na construção do conhecimento linguístico na Escola de Educação Básica

In this article we analyze some attempts to articulate the use of the School Dictionary (SD) and the textbook in the context of teaching and learning the Portuguese language. The DE and the textbook are tools linked to the teacher's work, aided in the process of teaching and learning languages. We want to understand the conceptions regarding the morphosyntactic terms referring to the grammatical classes present in these pedagogical materials and which dialogues are made possible by the teaching intermediation for the expansion of the students' linguistic repertoire. The documentary methodology (SÁ-SILVA, ALMEIDA e GUINDANI, 2009) was used, which analyzing materials from the PNLD (Programa Nacional do Livro e do Material Didático). The results showed that the concepts of grammar classes presented by the textbook alone are not enough to expand students' linguistic knowledge. In this sense, the dialectical relationship between the textbook and the dictionary in Portuguese language classes can make teaching and learning more fruitful.Neste artigo analisamos algumas tentativas de articulação entre o uso do Dicionário Escola (DE) e o Livro Didático (LD) no contexto de ensino e aprendizagem de Língua Portuguesa. O DE e o LD são ferramentas vinculadas ao trabalho do professor, auxiliado no processo de ensinar e aprender línguas.  Buscou-se compreender as concepções dos termos morfossintáticos referentes às classes gramaticais presentes nos referidos materiais pedagógicos e quais diálogos são possibilitados pela intermediação docente para a ampliação do repertório linguístico dos alunos. Foi utilizada a metodologia documental (SÁ-SILVA, ALMEIDA e GUINDANI, 2009), com análise de materiais do PNLD (Programa Nacional do Livro e do Material Didático). Os resultados deste estudo mostraram que os conceitos das classes gramaticais apresentados pelo livro didático ampliados pelas atividades propostas e pela consulta ao dicionário pode facilitar a compreensão por parte dos alunos. Nesse sentido, a relação dialética entre o livro didático e o dicionário nas aulas de língua portuguesa podem tornar o ensino e aprendizagem mais profícuos

INTEGRAÇÃO DA EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL AO ENSINO MÉDIO NO PARANÁ: DAS INTENÇÕES AOS RESULTADOS

This text presents a bibliographic discussion on documents and interviews data related to professional and high school teaching. It aims at integrating professional education to high school education in two schools in the state of Paraná, from 2004 to 2010. It questions how this integration took place. High School teaching dissociated itself from professional education with the LDBEN 9.394/96, regulated by Decree 2.208/97. In order to reverse the guidelines from this norm, the Decree was revoked with the enactment of Decree 5.154/2004. The government of Paraná anticipated such integration, by introducing, in 2003, political and pedagogical guidelines for the process of integrating professional education into High Schools and by developing an integrated high school education in state schools in 2004. As a result of this process, some actions became necessary such as the continuing education of teachers, a review of the pedagogical projects and a new curricular concept. It was concluded that the possibilities and limits of this proposal lie in the comprehension of the work as an educational principle.http://dx.doi.org/10.14572/nuances.v24i3.2704Este texto apresenta discussão bibliográfica, de documentos e dados de entrevistas referentes ao ensino médio e profissional. Visa analisar a integração da educação profissional ao ensino médio no estado do Paraná no período de 2004 a 2010 em duas escolas. Questiona-se como ocorreu a integração. O ensino médio tornou-se dissociado da educação profissional com a LDBEN 9.394/96, normatizado pelo Decreto 2.208/97. A fim de reverter os encaminhamentos oriundos dessa normativa foi revogado o Decreto 2.208/97 com a promulgação do Decreto 5.154/2004. O governo do Paraná antecipou tal integração, apresentando, já no ano de 2003, as bases políticas e pedagógicas norteadoras do processo de integração da educação profissional ao ensino médio, passando a desenvolver o ensino médio integrado em escolas da rede estadual no ano de 2004. Como resultados desse processo, tornaram-se necessárias a formação continuada de professores, a revisão dos projetos pedagógicos e uma nova concepção curricular. Conclui-se que o limite e a possibilidade da proposta é a compreensão do trabalho como princípio educativo.http://dx.doi.org/10.14572/nuances.v24i3.270

Non-terpenoid biotransformations by Mucor species

Biotransformation is an important tool for the structural modification of organic compounds, especially natural products with complex structures, which are difficult to achieve using ordinary methods. It is also useful as a model for mammalian metabolism due to similarities between mammalian and microbial enzyme systems. The development of novel biocatalytic methods is a continuously growing area of chemistry, microbiology, and genetic engineering, and novel microorganisms and/or their enzymes are being screened intensively. This review covers the transformation of non-terpenoid compounds such as steroids, coumarins, flavonoids, drugs, pesticides and others by Mucor spp. up to the end of 2012

High voltage electrical stimulation as an alternative treatment for chronic ulcers of the lower limbs

A estimulação elétrica de alta voltagem tem sido indicada para acelerar processos de cicatrização. Os efeitos da estimulação elétrica de alta voltagem, no tratamento de três voluntários com úlceras crônicas de membros inferiores, foram avaliados. Após quinze semanas de tratamento, pôde ser observada a redução da área de todas as úlceras, a qual sugere que a EEAV é um método eficaz no tratamento de úlceras crônicas.High voltage electrical stimulation has been recommended as a means of accelerating the wound healing process. The effects of high voltage electrical stimulation were evaluated in the treatment of three volunteers with chronic ulcers of the lower limbs.
