This article aims at studying the stress factors in students of an engineering course at the city of Curitiba. Although stress can be also regarded as a positive factor to the subjects, while responses to stress agents are mild and light, the notion most often widespread and damaging is that in which the estressor has a negative character and more prolonged, which indicates greater severity. Academic, social, profissional, exams, dedlines to be met, learning new technologies in short time, the search for an intership or placement in the labor market in the midst of this process of building a professional identity. Are variables that are interwined and can facilitate the emergence of estress in students. We characterize this study as descriptive, and assessment of the data will give a qualitative approach and the method used is the case study. The sample consisted of 84 engineering estudents. Finally, the study indicates the need for interventions that address the most affected group of students as well as providing proposals to minimize and avoid problems of students who drop out the course. Key-words: Education. Health. Stress. Curriculum.

This work aims to analyze the process of digital inclusion configured from the deployment of the project titled "Plan Ceibal" by the Uruguayan Government in all public schools in Uruguay. In this article our analysis focuses on data collected about the impact of the project outside the school context, and to analyze how the digital inclusion is promoting or not inserting these portable computers outside of school space familiar looking for direct gaze that make people with technologies (cultural practices of digital literacy) and not to the possibilities of equipment in relation to the effective use of ICT 's. Data will be collected through a survey ethnographic blended in development, let us consider the configurations interaction and inclusion of actors from the border town of Rivera / UR. Analysis on socio-historical bias allows you to understand how digital inclusion configures itself from cultural practices exploring the concept of zones of senses and not just for pedagogical possibilities of technology whereas there is a relationship between technologies and social structures. keywords: Social Incusion, Ethnographics, computers, education

We intend to discuss here which the contributions of genetic epistemology for learning astronomy themes present in the curriculum of the early years of EF. This arises epistemology, pedagogy, called constructivist methodology. Demonstrated in our article, using a methodology that starts with questions and problems the teacher may allow students under the action of the research object and thus make it possible to build their concepts about the world and may increasingly become more complex their knowledge. Teaching astronomy since the early years can help in the development of logical-mathematical students, which makes them able to understand the world around them, this consequently influences their scientific literacy, therefore, increasingly to intervene in the world so conscious. In this sense we believe not only in the inclusion of subjects of astronomy in science education, as well as the need to review the methodologies applied in this discipline.

Oral history is part of the debate about the role of historical knowledge and operates inquiring the historical tradition centered in official documents. This study intended to carry out possible “dialogues” between two retired teachers about their memories and opinions in relation to the education subject. We following a semi-structured screenplay divided in two blocks: the first one intended to address their experiences while they were students and the second, intended to express the memories and views of them as teachers, establishing relationships between these two times and also seeking to investigate their opinions about the current stage of Brazilian education. Thus it was possible not only generate diagnoses and report the views of the collaborators, but also understand subjectivities that only through these procedures could be made.

This article aims to discuss the use of sources, specifically those from the press, in the construction of teaching history. From this perspective, we present the following as concerns guiding this work: What is the role of historical sources in teaching history? What are the possibilities of learning from these? The press takes a prominent place in this scenario to what extent? The method chosen to approach these responses was the methodology of the research literature, as well as content analysis, which allows working with text written materials. It is important to mention that this methodology is the starting point of the message, but should be considered the contextual conditions of their producers and become critical in the design and dynamics of language to establish an opinion (FRANCO, 2005: 13). Given the above, will be drawn primarily a discussion about the teaching of history. Soon after will be presented some aspects regarding the importance of the sources and their potential uses within the area covered. Finally, we will reflect on the press and its specificities. Therefore in order to promote a reflection on the teaching of history and its vast possibilities of building space within the school.

Hierdie vraestel bied die resultate van 'n ondersoek in die loop van spesialisasie in Liggaamlike Opvoeding - FURG, wat die liggaam van navorsing tot die kontrak genoem word vir' n graad aan die begin van die 80's, 'n staat skool in die stad Rio Grande - RS. Die doel was om uitsprake wat verband hou met die liggaam van boeke bekend te onttrek, om moontlike verklarings, toesprake wat in werking gestel met die status van die waarheid oor die liggaam in die skool te identifiseer.

Este estudo de caso, realizado em uma escola pública de Uruguaiana-RS, investigou as dificuldades percebidas por professoras dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental para trabalhar o tema saúde. Quatro professoras, com idade entre 34 e 65 anos e tempo de docência entre 2 e 40 anos, responderam a uma entrevista,gravada e transcrita. A partir da análise de conteúdo, foram identificadas cinco dificuldades: a baixa condição de vida da família, a falta de apoio da família, a falta de capacitação profissional dos professores, as dificuldades particulares dos alunos e a necessidade de alfabetizar os alunos. Sugere-se que uma educação baseada na participação ativa e crítico-reflexiva dos alunos, partindo de uma formação docente preocupada com esta necessidade, possa reduzir as dificuldades de trabalhar o tema saúde nos anos iniciais e, ainda, colaborar com o processo de alfabetização.

The teacher training of Brazilian Basic Education is a very important issue for the quality of education, therefore, the aim of this study is to present the results of a query made in 2010 to Pro-Chancellors of Higher Education Institutions to subsidize the fostering policy of Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education - CAPES to the teachers of public (municipal and state) basic education of the Education area. Ninety four questionnaires were administered and 68 graduate programs provided data of 1.055 teachers that work in Basic Education, which represents 22% of all students. After analyzing the data on the support received for the completion of the master level, has been observed that only 6.8% of the municipal teachers receive some form of support, while nearly 11% of state teachers are supported. Thus, it is concluded that there are few teachers receiving support to study.

This paper presents the results of a study assessing the level of Scientific Literacy of fifty-eight students. These students were enrolled in a course of chemistry at a University Community of Rio Grande do Sul. This study additionally included eight teachers who were trained at the Institution for more than five years. The instrument used to perform this evaluation was the Test of Basic Scientific Literacy (TBSL), created and validated by Laugksch and Spargo (1996). This data analysis is a reflection on the development of the Scientific Literacy during the teacher education in chemistry.

This work in an entry in Fleck's epistemology with the objective of understanding how future teachers in Biological Sciences identify with teaching profession in their formative path. Data are representing a cut of material analyzed in dissertation (TOLENTINO, 2010). The research sample consisted of 138 undergraduate students from 1st to 4th year of the Biological Sciences Graduation Course of the State University of Ponta Grossa of afternoon and night shifts and the methodology adopted part of an interaction between the qualitative and quantitative approaches by the use of SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). In presenting the data, we can see that the students draw a first time the expectations on the course, but the more inserted in the daily training of their initial aspirations and expectations are no longer answered. The lack of identity references to teaching demonstrates the fragility epistemological and contextual knowledge within the educational degree and evidence of the prevailing style of thought in the course studied. Even before the need for a deeper theoretical epistemology of Ludwick Fleck regarding the training of science teachers, it is considered that this may be a fruitful perspective in understanding the peculiarities present in this formation.

Physics Teaching in Brazil has been increasingly acknowledged as a research field. Thus, the use of History and Philosophy of Science in Physics Teaching has been drawn significant attention from government and research guidelines for education. Advances in related research in education have shown its usefulness to the teaching-learning process. However, despite the increased interest in the integration of these topics in education, there are still few concrete proposals to bring History and Philosophy of Science to the classroom. For this reason, this paper aims to draw a preliminary framework concerning researches related to this subject presented in the most important Brazilian Physics Teaching seminars and journals. To do so, we selected History and Philosophy of Science related papers, which were then classified according to their specific Physics topic and their contribution towards integration or consolidation to History and Philosophy of Science in Education. The results show that most of the papers aim to explore History, by describing or interpreting historical episodes. Also, most of papers relate to Mechanics and Modern and Contemporary Physics. Less than twenty percent of the studies propose classroom activities, which shows the distance between History and Philosophy of Science research topics and classroom practice.

This paper has the goal to describe an Instrumental English teaching experience, regarding the production of students of the second semester of a Computing Course in a Federal School in Rio Grande do Sul. For the execution of the project, it was used a base tool, the software Hot Potatoes and its five applicative tools, which resulted in the production of a CD ROM with the activities of each student involved in the project. For this, it was used authors such as Carroll (1960) and Ellis (2000).

This article was produced inside a subproject of undergraduate research that investigates study situations (SS) in High School. The focus research is to analyze the distribution of the time between speech/ actions of the teacher and the students in this process, as well as the types of discursive interaction that manifest themselves in chemistry classes. The data were produced from video recordings of the SS “Water and Life”. The classes’ analysis is referenced in Amaral and Mortimer (2006), with map preparation of activities and teaching episodes, and Mortimer et al (2007) for analysis of the types of discourse in the classroom. A special attention was given to the time that the teacher uses in each episode and discursive period. It was found that considerable time is compared with the time that students use for a variety of enunciations. We show some specificities in classes that deserve further study.

This paper engages in a discussion of the major strands of liberal and progressive pedagogical trends and key facts that relate to teaching practice for PROEJA - National Programme for Integration of Professional Education with Basic Education in the Form of Youth and Adults. Thus it is expected to obtain results which indicate that the trend that is best related to what is expected of the methodology applied in PROEJA. The PROEJA is a program at the federal level, with professional and innovative in character mode Youth and Adult Education, founded in 2006. Teaching trends come from the union between pedagogical thinking, philosophical, that in a given period of history combine their didactic and pedagogical practices, based mainly on human society and culture. Many researches have been done on both the importance and on the theoretical and practical pedagogical trends, as well as on the identity and profile of the student PROEJA, but little is discussed about the pedagogical practice in this mode. To achieve our objective, we carried out a qualitative study, literature review and exploratory, culminating in a review article. With such studies it is concluded that the historical-critical pedagogy provides more consistent with the particular needs of the methodological PROEJA, aimed at training the student's full.
