Documentação narrativa de experiências pedagógicas na formação docente em redes

A experiência de realizar um curso sobre Documentação Narrativa de Experiências Pedagógicas em redes desde o Sul e no Sul do Brasil é aqui compartilhada. Nas redes, cultiva-se a beleza do encontro e do reencontro, de ouvir o outro, de valorizar a presença e os sentimentos. Uma história tecida nas ações formativas entre redes de pesquisa de professores, com a escrita de relatos de experiências pedagógicas, a leitura e a conversa com o entorno desses relatos, com os movimentos de reescrita e circulação das experiências dos narradores. A pesquisa (auto)biográfica e narrativa é como uma forma de promover a pesquisa em educação, o trabalho docente e o ofício de ensinar, a construção, a reconstrução e a circulação democrática do conhecimento e do know-how a partir da prática cotidiana

Progress in design and experimental activities for the development of an advanced breeding blanket

There is no doubt about the interest of achieving as fast as possible the capability to build and operate high performance reactors that finally allow fusion competing in the electricity market. An advanced breeding blanket based on the Dual Coolant Lithium Lead concept with single module segment architecture, designed for the European DEMO, is certainly aligned with such objective. This work describes some recent outcomes of the efforts carried out in the framework of the Prospective R&D Work Package in EUROfusion to develop this line. The evolution of the design has been guided by strategies aimed to achieve an equilibrium between tritium breeding & shielding requirements and mechanical integrity. To enhance the thermodynamic cycle efficiency and reduce the recirculation power by minimizing pressure losses in both the breeding zone and the first wall have been complementary guidelines. Specific models have been created to characterize phenomena like heat transfer and tritium permeation in the breeder channels. The experimental activities, which in general have produced promising results, have consisted in the characterization of different ceramic materials (carbides and oxides) in terms of functional properties at high temperature (as-received and irradiated/implanted samples) and compatibility with PbLi

Editorial: Narrativas docentes: gênero transgressor e (auto)formativo

 A escrita narrativa de professoras e professores tem ocupado, com grande frequência, espaço nos debates e estudos da comunidade acadêmica do campo educacional. Entre diferentes discussões metodológicas e epistemológicas acerca de seus usos, limites e potencialidades, uma constância: o gênero narrativo parece ter ocupado um importante e definitivo espaço de diálogo e intercâmbio entre a comunidade acadêmica e da Educação Básica. Narram professores e professoras, em diferentes contextos e momentos, dando visibilidade a fragmentos cotidianos, nem sempre vistos e percebidos por outras frestas, que não a da narrativa de quem vive

Hands-on Learning: Assessing the Impact of a Mobile Robot Platform in Engineering Learning Environments

As the world continues to change and evolve, students must acquire a diverse set of competencies and skills that focus on sustainability. This term extends beyond environmental matters, encompassing educational aspects, such as critical thinking, communication, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving, all of which are crucial components. In order to promote these aspects in an engineering learning environment, using educational tools that emulate real-life tasks related to students' future careers can significantly boost their motivation. It could be worth considering the integration of teaching techniques that align more closely with the professional work of engineering. By embracing this pedagogical approach, educators can empower students, contributing to the advancement of science and technology. The field of programming embedded or integrated systems presents numerous professional opportunities for students of Telecommunications and Electronics Engineering degrees. An embedded systems engineer is a specialized professional responsible for co-designing electronic devices based on a processor. This contribution analyzes the impact of introducing a mobile robot platform as a cutting-edge teaching approach that merges problem-based learning (PBL) with hands-on learning. The platform's main features include robustness in reducing interconnection problems and the possibility of co-designing projects with multiple integrated sensors and actuators. This learning tool makes it possible for students to work with a professional embedded system that they can find in their future careers. Hence, assessing the impact of this learning strategy using the robot and how students perceive it to enhance their professional skills is fundamental. This evaluation compares students' experiences in previous subjects with the learning approach proposed in this research that intends to support students to prepare them more effectively for transitioning to professional life. The evaluation involves a previous and post-questionnaire that examines three dimensions: energy, absorption, and dedication. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the general satisfaction item showed the highest growth rate (1.05 out of 5.00) and the best score in the post-questionnaire. This indicates that, overall, the students evaluated the impact of using the learning strategy described positively. After completing the learning experience, the dimension of dedication showed the highest increase (0.73 out of 5.00) among all three dimensions.4 - Educació de Qualita
