Formação permanente de professores no cotidiano escolar: o real e o possível

This article aimed to understand the meanings attributed to permanent education in everyday school life. In this sense, the work focuses on how six elementary school teachers, early years, from the municipality of Feira de Santana, Bahia, inhabit theteaching profession and reveal the experiences they develop in permanent education in the school routine. The study is qualitative, anchored in the (auto)biographical approach. As a device for collecting information, narrative interviews were used. The work is anchored in the contributions of several authors, highlighting Freire (2001); Nóvoa(2009); Silva (2020); Silva and Rios (2018), among others, which deal with experiential learning and ongoing training of teachers who inhabit the teaching profession in basic education. The study made it possible to conclude that there are formative singularities that take place in the municipality of Feira de Santana in view of the specificities of teaching woven into the school routine. The narratives made it possible for the voice of the collaborating teachers to flow, showing how permanent training takes place in the practices, knowledge and practices that the teachers develop at school.Este artículo tuvo como objetivo comprender los significados atribuidos a la educación permanente en el cotidiano escolar.

Construção da identidade docente em tempos de pandemia: narrativas de professores/as do ensino fundamental

O texto enfoca a identidade profissional docente de professores/as da educação básica, promovendo uma análise compreensiva sobre como os/as professores/as têm habitado a profissão docente em tempos de pandemia. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo tem como objetivo identificar os fatores que se relacionam com a construção da identidade docente em tempos de pandemia. Para tanto, foram utilizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas e aplicadas a um total de quatorze professores/as de três municípios do Estado da Bahia, com atuação profissional nos primeiros anos do Ensino Fundamental. Foram elaborados dois blocos de questões: o primeiro, com três questões fechadas sobre o perfil profissional do/da informante e o segundo bloco, contendo quatro questões abertas a partir das quais se buscavam respostas mais amplas a respeito dos impactos da pandemia, com foco na construção da identidade docente. De natureza qualitativa, as entrevistas foram dispositivos que proporcionaram um mapeamento sobre como os professores/as têm desenvolvido práticas e saberes da docência na pandemia. Os resultados evidenciam sentimentos de esgotamento, angústia, incertezas, sobrecarga, resiliência, além do abandono sofrido por parte das instâncias públicas nos processos de formação, o que compromete, ainda mais, a construção da identidade dos/as professores/as marcada pela própria história como uma profissão que diuturnamente está em processo de autoafirmação, sobretudo em constante busca pelo reconhecimento dos poderes públicos e da sociedad

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.

NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the Neotropics

Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, 10 anteaters, and 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the southern United States, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to the austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n = 5,941), and Cyclopes sp. have the fewest (n = 240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n = 11,588), and the fewest data are recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n = 33). With regard to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n = 962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n = 12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other data sets of Neotropical Series that will become available very soon (i.e., Neotropical Carnivores, Neotropical Invasive Mammals, and Neotropical Hunters and Dogs). Therefore, studies on trophic cascades, hunting pressure, habitat loss, fragmentation effects, species invasion, and climate change effects will be possible with the Neotropical Xenarthrans data set.

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.
