Isaias Alves e as aproximações entre a psicologia educacional e a educação matemática

Resumo Partindo do relatório de viagem aos Estados Unidos do educador baiano Isaias Alves, o presente artigo tem como objetivo explorar as aproximações entre a psicologia educacional e a educação matemática na década de 1930, e de que forma a primeira promoveu a circulação de teorias/autores na última, principalmente no que diz respeito ao intercâmbio entre Brasil e Estados Unidos. Enquanto aproximação teórico-metodológica, alguns dos conceitos operados são apropriação, circulação (de ideias/objetos/sujeitos) e discurso autorizado, com base em autores como Roger Chartier (1990, 2002, 2009), Serge Gruzinski (2001a, 2001b) e Michel de Certeau (2012). Além do relatório de viagem, outras fontes mobilizadas foram publicações de Isaias (livros e artigos), programas de ensino dos Institutos de Educação do Rio de Janeiro e de São Paulo, manuais pedagógicos e jornais disponíveis no acervo da Hemeroteca Digital da Biblioteca Nacional. Entre as constatações, percebe-se que o relatório de viagem de Isaias Alves deu visibilidade às discussões e publicações do psicólogo estadunidense Edward Lee Thorndike voltadas à educação matemática. Ainda, que o diálogo estabelecido entre a psicologia educacional e a educação matemática estava fortemente vinculado às discussões sobre testes e que a forma como Isaias Alves lia e dava a ler a educação matemática ocorria a partir do viés psicológico

Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil: setting the baseline knowledge on the animal diversity in Brazil

The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others

Benedicta Valladares Ribeiro (1905 - 1989): education and performance.

Este estudo trata da trajetória profissional de Benedicta Valladares Ribeiro (1905-1989) na Escola Normal Modelo de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, no período de 1926 a 1967. Teve a intenção de verificar se sua formação nos EUA influenciou o desempenho pedagógico da pesquisada, a qual dedicou grande parte de sua vida à educação. De forma pioneira, em 1926 foi em missão oficial do governo de Minas Gerais, com um grupo de professoras, estudar no Teachers College, na Universidade de Columbia nos Estados Unidos e, ao retornarem, trabalharam na reforma do ensino mineiro, auxiliando na implementação da Escola Nova. A fim de compreender sua atuação, em primeiro lugar foi abordado o governo mineiro de Antônio Carlos de Andrade, no qual Francisco Campos foi secretário do Interior o qual implementou a reforma da educação no Estado. Depois foram abordados outros aspectos relativos à face mulher e à esfera profissional de Benedicta V. Ribeiro. O último capítulo trata da sua trajetória profissional. Para consolidação da pesquisa foram utilizadas cartas pessoais de Benedicta trocadas com a família no período em que esteve nos Estados Unidos, as quais deram voz a essa jovem professora pesquisadora. Foram realizadas também entrevistas com ex-alunas, as quais elucidaram o seu percurso profissional. Destaque-se que a professora, ainda de forma pioneira, acreditava na importância da arte integrada a todo ensino e a necessidade de explorar com as crianças a imagem antes da escrita. O aperfeiçoamento no Teachers College influenciou significativamente a professora. Ela passou a ser uma admiradora de John Dewey e de outros educadores e filósofos precursores da Escola Nova.This study deals with the career of Benedicta Valladares Ribeiro (1905-1989) in the Normal School Model of Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais, in the period from 1926 to 1967. The study had the intention to determine whether the training in the U.S.A. has influenced the teaching performance of Benedicta, who devoted much of her life to education. In a pioneer way, in 1926 Benedicta went in an official mission of Minas Gerais government, with a group of teachers, in order to study at the Teachers College in the University of Columbia in the U.S.A. and when they returned, they worked in a reform of the education in Minas Gerais state, assisting in the implementation of the New School. In order to comprehend her performance, the government of Antônio Carlos de Andrade in Minas Gerais was the first approached, in which Francisco Campos, who was a country secretary, implemented the reform of education in the State. Then, it was discussed other issues related to women and to the Professional sphere of Benedicta V. Ribeiro. The last chapter deals with her professional career. To consolidate the research, Benedictas personal letters exchanged with her family in the period while she was in the United States were used, which gave voice to this young researcher professor. Also, interviews were conducted with her former students and that elucidated her Professional career. It is noteworthy that the teacher, even in a pioneer way, believed in the importance of art integrated into all education and the needs to explore with children the image before writing. The improvement at the Teachers College has significantly influenced the teacher, who became an admirer of John Dewey and other educators and philosophers precursors of the New School

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
