Prática de ensino supervisionada em Ensino do 1º e do 2º Ciclo do Ensino Básico

O presente relatório foi realizado no âmbito da Unidade Curricular da Prática de Ensino Supervisionada do Mestrado em Ensino do 1.º e 2.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico da Escola Superior de Educação de Bragança, realizada no ano letivo de 2013/2014. Este relatório final apresenta experiências de ensino-aprendizagem desenvolvidas em três instituições escolares públicas da cidade de Bragança: uma do 1.º ciclo, onde asseguramos a lecionação nas áreas curriculares de Matemática, Português, Estudo do Meio e Expressões, e duas do 2.º ciclo, nas quais realizamos estágios no âmbito das disciplinas de História e Geografia de Portugal, Ciências da Natureza, Matemática e Português. Para cada uma das experiências é apresentada a contextualização das atividades realizadas no âmbito de cada uma das áreas curriculares/disciplinas, a descrição da experiência, bem como uma reflexão sobre a mesma. Todas as experiências de ensino-aprendizagem apresentadas neste documento têm como tema integrador a importância do jogo como estratégia de ensino e de aprendizagem. Assim sendo, elas articulam-se à volta da realização de jogos, cujo intuito vai desde a motivação para a aprendizagem, até à consolidação das aprendizagens realizadas pelos alunos. Sustentando a prática numa revisão dos fundamentos teóricos relativos a este tema, este relatório apresenta várias conceções, propostas por diferentes autores, sobre a importância do jogo na sala de aula, realçando a sua relevância para o desenvolvimento da criança. Por fim, serão referidas as considerações finais relativamente à Prática de Ensino Supervisionada e à sua importância para a minha formação.This report was done within the Course Unit of Supervised Teaching Practice of the Master’s Degree on Teaching the 1st and 2nd cycles of Basic Education of the Superior Education School of Bragança, in the school year 2013/2014. This final report refers to teaching and learning experiences developed in three public schools, in Bragança: one was a primary school, where we taught Maths, Portuguese, Environmental Studies and Arts/Music; the other two were 2nd cycle schools, where we had our teacher training within the subjects: Portuguese History and Geography, Natural Science, Maths and Portuguese. For each experience it is presented the context in which the activities were implemented, in each school subject, the description of the experience, as well as a reflection on it. The main topic of all the teaching and learning experiences, presented in this document, is the importance of the game as a teaching and learning strategy. Therefore, they involve playing games to motivate students for learning and doing consolidation activities. Basing the practice on the revision of the main theories of this theme, the report shows different concepts, suggested by different authors, about the importance of playing games in the classroom, emphasizing its relevance for children’s development. In the end, the final considerations on the Supervised Teaching Practice will be mentioned and it’s importance for my training

Delayed colorectal cancer care during covid-19 pandemic (decor-19). Global perspective from an international survey

Background The widespread nature of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been unprecedented. We sought to analyze its global impact with a survey on colorectal cancer (CRC) care during the pandemic. Methods The impact of COVID-19 on preoperative assessment, elective surgery, and postoperative management of CRC patients was explored by a 35-item survey, which was distributed worldwide to members of surgical societies with an interest in CRC care. Respondents were divided into two comparator groups: 1) ‘delay’ group: CRC care affected by the pandemic; 2) ‘no delay’ group: unaltered CRC practice. Results A total of 1,051 respondents from 84 countries completed the survey. No substantial differences in demographics were found between the ‘delay’ (745, 70.9%) and ‘no delay’ (306, 29.1%) groups. Suspension of multidisciplinary team meetings, staff members quarantined or relocated to COVID-19 units, units fully dedicated to COVID-19 care, personal protective equipment not readily available were factors significantly associated to delays in endoscopy, radiology, surgery, histopathology and prolonged chemoradiation therapy-to-surgery intervals. In the ‘delay’ group, 48.9% of respondents reported a change in the initial surgical plan and 26.3% reported a shift from elective to urgent operations. Recovery of CRC care was associated with the status of the outbreak. Practicing in COVID-free units, no change in operative slots and staff members not relocated to COVID-19 units were statistically associated with unaltered CRC care in the ‘no delay’ group, while the geographical distribution was not. Conclusions Global changes in diagnostic and therapeutic CRC practices were evident. Changes were associated with differences in health-care delivery systems, hospital’s preparedness, resources availability, and local COVID-19 prevalence rather than geographical factors. Strategic planning is required to optimize CRC care
