    People operate under some significant misconceptions in contemporary America. Parents will initiate great changes when they finally realize that many people, especially professional educators, differ significantly in their definition of morality. These parents would be shocked into action if they only knew the perversity which operates in our schools under the name of humanistic morality. Once they know they will react no differently than I have (Alice Moore, leader of the Kanawha County West Virginia Textbook Controversy)

    Reflections on Sculptural Thinking in Fashion Design

    Get PDF
    This paper explores three-dimensional thinking in fashion design; it does this by engaging with theories, concepts and philosophies related to thought and the experience of creating three-dimensional artifacts, which are common to both sculpture and fashion. Central to this relationship is the employment of the senses with respect to perception and cognition. Of particular interest is the sense of touch,and how sensory experience encounters notions of empathy and mimicry in a phenomenological encounter with others: whether animate or inanimate. The research emerged through conversations between a fashion designer, Kevin Almond and a contemporary artist, Stephen Swindells. The sensibility of the paper, and much ofthe analysis and debates, thus adopt a creative practitioners perspective. A conceptual current running through the conversation, and subsequently the paper, touched upon whether following a line of thought becomes analogous to visually and mentally tracing a human form in a psychological space – and what is the significance for fashion of the interrelationships between sculptural thinking and phenomenological encounters with others within urban environments

    Ahead of printA Formação na e para a Pesquisa no PIBID: possibilidades e fragilidades. Essa pesquisa objetiva investigar a contribuição do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação Ă  DocĂȘncia (PIBID) para a aprendizagem da docĂȘncia dos licenciandos, focalizando a construção da identidade docente como professores pesquisadores e reflexivos, no contexto de um Instituto Federal de CiĂȘncias, Educação e Tecnologia, por meio de narrativas e anĂĄlise documental. Evidenciou-se que o PIBID pode se constituir em um espaço de reflexĂŁo, em que o formando Ă© incitado a desenvolver postura investigativa, elaborar e executar projeto de ensino e de investigação; entretanto, os estudos e reflexĂ”es sobre a pesquisa deve tambĂ©m ser assumido pelos demais professores formadores para que esta atividade seja fortalecida na instituição.The Training in and for Research in PIBID: possibilities and weaknesses. This research aims to investigate contributions of the Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação a DocĂȘncia [Institutional Scholar- ship for Teaching Initiation Program] - (PIBID) to the learning of teachers. It is focused on the construction of the professional identity as researchers and reflective teachers, in the context of a Federal Institute of Sciences, Education and Technology, by means of narratives and documents analysis. It was evident that the PIBID may constitute a space for reflection, where the student is encouraged to develop an investigative approach and to prepare and implement educational and research projects; however, studies and reflections concerning research should also be taken by other trainer teachers so that such activity will be strengthened in the institution.CIEC - Centro de Investigação em Estudos da Criança, IE, UMinho (UI 317 da FCT), Portugal; Fundos Nacionais atravĂ©s da FCT (Fundação para a CiĂȘncia e a Tecnologia) e cofinanciado pelo Fundo Europeu de Desenvolvimento Regional (FEDER) atravĂ©s do COMPETE 2020 – Programa Operacional Competitividade e Internacionalização (POCI) com a referĂȘncia POCI-01-0145-FEDER-007562info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Full text link
    O artigo analisa as razĂ”es pelos quais a cultura de imagens se faz presente nos agentes simbĂłlicos da atual cultura, fomentando experiĂȘncias e estratĂ©gias educativas que se difundem para alĂ©m das fronteiras da educação formal. A hipĂłtese Ă© a de que toda anĂĄlise crĂ­tica dirigida Ă s pedagogias culturais viabilizam condiçÔes para que as estratĂ©gias educacionais tambĂ©m utilizem componentes imagĂ©ticos presentes nos agentes simbĂłlicos da cultura. Para tanto, serĂĄ analisada a cultura das imagens na perspectiva da Sociedade do EspetĂĄculo (2000), e as razĂ”es pelas quais a anĂĄlise crĂ­tica das pedagogias culturais se tornam essenciais no campo da educação, desafiando as prĂłprias prĂĄticas educacionais atuais
