This research focuses on Physical Education academic teaching and the relationship its professors establish between pedagogical background and their university teaching practices. Its aims include understanding such a relationship and, more specifically, identify the professor profile, what makes his/her pedagogical practice easy and what limits it, knowledge involved in the making of their teaching identity, besides verifying how a professor builds his/her pedagogical practice. This inquiry follows the quantiqualitative research approach, its data coming from questionnaires containing open and closed questions answered by Physical Education professors graduated in Physical Education teaching at two private higher education institutions. Results reveal individuals aware that pedagogical training is important to teaching although some of them do not see it as the most important requisite. They also reveal that reflexive teaching practice, professor-researcher practice, theoretical knowledge, and technical and academic training are the most important requisites to the professor s background. One hopes this study stimulates new inquiries into these matters and increases academic knowledge on professors teaching and pedagogical practice, above all Physical Education ones.

This study aims to investigate and analyze the limits and possibilities of the webquest as a methodology for the development of interdisciplinary activities in the school context. We presuppose that it constitutes itself in a methodology that enables the articulation between the different fields of knowledge, using the resources of interaction and research, available on the internet in a collaborative manner. The investigation is qualitative, therefore, uses as instruments in the production of data questionnaires, interviews and field notes. Far from producing conclusive results, the research indicates potential uses of webquest for the development of interdisciplinary activities in the school context.

This paper has got the objective of analyzing the autonomy process of the municipal regions concerning its educational policies in Brazil. The research took in account the phenomena of decentralization, deconcentration, municipalization and autonomy. In order to achieve this goal, a historical study about the outdated conceptions of the State and its evolvement in time was done, what clearly depicts, as an outcome, the updated notion of the State of Brazil and its municipal regions nowadays. Then, the range of the educational public policies was discussed in the remodelling scenary of the Contemporary State related to the distribution of functions and roles among the federate beings. In the quest of identifying a possible autonomy for these educational public policies, this study was focused on the district of Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais and its educational system during the period of 1997 to 2003. A bibliographical research about the development process of Brazil was done as a first step. Afterwards, the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988 was brought into context, especially in the articles related to education. The Fourteenth Amendment, the law that created a National Fund for Maintenance and Enrichment of the Educational System (FUNDEP Fundo Nacional de Manutencao e Valorizacao do Magistério) and the law of Aims and Bases for the National Education (Lei 9394/96 LDB Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educacao Nacional) were deeply studied in order to detect the real extension of the municipal autonomy. Also, other texts, laws, projects, reports, statements and statistic data form the district of Patos de Minas were analyzed. The decentralization related to the educational policies is indeed regulated by the Law of Aims and Bases for the National Education, the so called "LDB". This regulation is committed to a flexible educational policy, what allows the municipal regions to focus on its own, according to their profile. The deconcentration, though, engages the municipal regions to maintain the common schools only, without the responsibility to create their own teaching and methodology system, what means that the common schools belong to the States. The municipalization itself does not permit us to analyze its credits. It relies on the commitment of each county. Also, the autonomy is ruled and implies the capacity to develop the municipal educational system. However, this autonomy can be limited by the municipal budget, by its illegal or improper use, by the poverty of the assisted population and the economy itself. It came to the conclusion that, beyond all the law about the Educational System, maybe it is the public policies, among them the educational one, that creates a barrier to the evolvement of the districts. This fact demands a great self-government capacity to strengthen the municipal autonomy. The State of Brazil controls the educational policies through the "LDB" Law, systemic assessments, PNLD and PCNs. It is known, although, that there are municipal regions developing its proper autonomy.

This present research has been organized based on the systematic observation of the Extension Project with interface about the scientific research and technological development. Having as one of its goals to make a discussion about the ongoing training of teachers, the authorship process of the research subjects, as well as the integration of information and communication technologies in the teaching-learning. This purpose determined our participation during the years 2008/2009 as researchers of medias courses in the math classes (Nod I and II) attended to the math teachers who teach in Elementary Education in public and/or private schools observing the presence relations with the no presence support, which the important focus on the studies: Understand the digital Educational process of math teacher from the Elementary Education in a viewpoint of constitution of teaching knowledge . As methodological studies of the research, we focused on the contributions of González Rey, doing our research based on the Qualitative Epistemology principles, which contribute with the knowledge production through the helpful analysis interpreting. It was based on observations and recordings done in the areas, interviews and questions, we could have the informations found in our studies. We realize that the formative process can be developed in socialization process and creation of teaching know-how which helps them use their creativity during their educational practices, based on critics and conscious of technological and communicative information. However our research shows us the subjects experiences in the formative process in the interaction moments, mediate interactions and person one, also their day-bay-day experiences in class, form important factors in the constitution of autonomy authorship of the subjects expressing the effective teaching-learning process for teachers and learners that appeared since they got the didactic and digital materials.

The present study is inserted in the research line - Public Politics and Management in Education of the Mastering Program in Education of the Federal University of Uberlandia. Its goal is to comprehend the historical construction of the process of Direct Election of Principals for Public Municipal Schools in Uberlandia, between the years 2000-2004. It also analyzes critically the political-pedagogical and ideological impacts of this process in the school routine. Since its creation, in the late 80 s, the Public Municipal Group of Education from Uberlandia-MG RPME/UDI (Rede Pública Municipal de Ensino de Uberlândia-MG) was a target of political-party management related organically to the executive power, which oriented, ideologically, the indication of jobs of school management to attend, authoritative and physiologically, interests of the class hegemonically dominant in the city. Given the relevance of this historical construction, the present qualitative research was based methodologically on the principals of Dialectical and Historical Materialism. The research promoted the documental analysis (of the Organical Municipal Law of Uberlandia LOM 1992, of the Commitment Letter to the Development of Public Municipal Education of Uberlândia 2000, of the Government Program of the Connection Now it is Zaire 2001-2004, of the Program Citizen School of the government Zaire Rezende 2001- 2004, of the Law of Elections for Principals in the city of Uberlandia Law 216/2001, and later regulamentation Law 7.832/01 and also of the letter of political pedagogical principles 2003-2004). It also examined a set of semi-structured interviews, organized in focal groups constituted of educators directly and indirectly involved in the process of construction and fulfillment of school elections in RPME/UDI. The discourse formations of the interviewee pointed to the initial acknowledgement that this process happened in a complex and contradictory juncture, permeated by fragmented actions of the municipal power, which reflected critically, in the process of the law elaboration that institutionalized the school elections (Law 216/2001), as well as in its implementation. The law mentioned counted, actively, with the participation of SINTRASP, rightful representative union of the category, in that time, the managers of SME, direct representatives of school units and the popular elected mandates in the city council and segments related to the educational sphere of UFU. Two elections for the job of management occurred between 2001 and 2004, and from this experience the interviewees confirmed, among other aspects, the fact that the construction of the democratic school management doesn t depend exclusively on the election of principals. That it must be consubstantiated in the adoption of public politics of education professional value, financial and administrative decentralization, as well as the effective political will of the established powers to give the school units the real autonomy of management. In 2007, the Public Ministry pointed out the unconstitutionality of the law 216/2001, fact that was used by the new municipal management elected for the period of 2005-2008, to justify and transform the election process in a consultation to the education professionals , which was interpreted by the interviewees as a profound throwback in the walk towards democratization in the schools of RPME/UDI.

The formation and the control of the manpower were challenges, constantly put back in the historical process of construction and consolidation of the capitalist system. Renewed to each crisis, this challenge was placed with great intensity due to the difficulties of accomplishment of the accumulation of the capital in crucial moments of the century XX. It was like this it in the world crisis that had as apex Second World War, one of the principal factors that fomented the industrialization process in Brazil. As, also, it was it in the wide productive restructuring, beginning a partner-historical process, unchained by the crisis of the petroleum in the beginning of the decade of 1970. Such a process reached in a structural mode the whole capitalist system in a, taking to deep changes in the production, materialized in an intensive application of the new technologies microeletronics in the production, in the innovative forms of administration of the work in a pattern powder-fordista, articulate with neoliberals politics, tuned with the globalization of the financial capital. This process was configured in an offensive of the capital in relation to the work, that it disembogued with larger intensity in Brazil, in the nineties. Erect Senai, in 1942, in the beginning of the process of Brazilian industrialization, in a context of demands for the workers' new qualifications was also intensely reached by the productive restructuring of the end passed century, as well as for the managerial culture of him engendered. The Technical course of Telecommunications of Senai of Uberlândia, interferes in that process. Because, with base in a methodology founded in the historical materialism dialectic, this work intends to do a reflection on the context, the genesis, the historical process, the unfoldings and the changes in the system of vocational education of Senai, and your interfaces with the world of the work. Taking as empiric base the case of the technical course of telecommunications of Senai of Uberlândia and the tissue of relationships that settled down to materialize it.

This study aims at presenting the results of Research Project History of Colégio Agrícola de Uberlândia: from the school foundation to the first professional degree in the Curso Técnico em Agropecuária (Farm Technician Aprenticeship Program) (1957- 1972). The research was sponsored by Capes, and carried out during the Master s Course in Education Program. The area of concentration is History and Historiography of the Federal University at Uberlândia, having as advisor Professor Doctor Sandra Cristina Fagundes Lima. The main concern is to analyze the history of Colégio Agrícola at Uberlândia, a public technical-professional teaching high school, studying from its creation and foundation to the first course degree in Técnicos em Agropecuária , (Farm Technician Aprenticeship Program) from 1957-1972. The period of study is from the beginning of the school construction to the professional degree awarded to the first group of students, once the construction took twelve years, until 1969. In order to analyze the first group of students the following categories were employed: school architecture, time and space, knowledge and pedagogical practices, and teachers/students profiles. Former students were investigated to understand if their formation has reached the expectations and objectives of the school. The documents collected and used as base for the research analysis are stored in the Public Archive at Uberlândia (ArPU), in the Association of Commerce and Industry at Uberlândia (Aciub), and in the school archive as well. From the press we investigated the newspapers Correio de Uberlândia , O Triângulo and 7 Dias ; records of the City Council were used once they are sources that, through the alderman speeches, represent the politics context of the time. Fourteen former students of the first group were interviewed, based on oral history. A bibliographical study was conducted based on pictures, enrollment forms, and students and teachers personal data found in the school archive. The sources allowed the analysis and understanding the events and educational discussions on a national/regional level. The results were compared to the specialist literature according to the Brazilian reality. We have carried out a descriptive study of the institution, and developed a dialogue based on history and theory. Our intention was also to look for inter-relations with the Brazilian education issues, mainly on what refers to farm teaching. The results show the importance of the foundation of Colégio Agrícola at Uberlândia once it has contributed to modernize the primary sector both in the city and countryside.

This work seeks to enlarge the academic research in the history of Brazilian education focused on schools of little visibility in society. For that, we proposed to inquiry the history of Escola Noturna ―Machado de Assis‖, an elementary public night school in the city of Ituiutaba between 1941 and 1960. Above all, we aimed to understand the emergence of urban public education kept by municipal government and the relations between elementary night schooling and educational, political, and economical context, both locally and nationally. Methodological procedures included bibliographical research upon public education especially political efforts and legislation and on aspects of the making of municipality in Brazil. Besides, we drew from interviews with school s former students, staff assistant, and teachers, from Brazil former presidents and Minas Gerais former governors messages, from minutes of town council meetings, and from local newspapers printed during 1941 and 1960. Reading critically these written records and interpreting oral accounts from interviews has made possible to assert that adult literacy in this school occurred itinerantly and precariously, for it had no building of its own. Such a lack suggests that, even if this school met the interests of local government, it deserved no attention from the latter, as it received a restrained financial support from Ituiutaba s city hall. And yet, even if this school were of no interest to the local political debate and had no impact on local society, it was relevant to a share of the population adults and adolescents who lack education and who could not attend day schools because they worked in the daytime. In meeting their schooling needs, this school played its role so well that in the course of its history it evolved from a condition of having no local expressivity to the one where it is seem as a relevant institution in the local and regional scenario.

This research aims at studying the Curso Normal , in regular and (semi)internship regimen, offered for women by the Colégio Imaculada Conceição , a private catholic confessional teaching institution at Tupaciguara-MG. We have chosen the period of 1961-1977, approaching activities since the beginning of the course until the year the institution started to admit boys. The established pedagogical and disciplinary aspects developed by the institution were studied in a way to verify if curriculum and subjects have influenced the students while professionals; if the catholic principles contributed for the educational and moral formation of the students; besides apprehending the representations the former students, former teachers and the city press have constructed about the Colégio Imaculada Conceição . Our research sources were: the press; school documents (letters, registers of: monthly payment; scholarships; teachers frequency; school regiment; students grades; grades and tests; enrollment; teaching inspections; grades control; and students booklets); reports and registers found in the Town Hall and municipality representative office at Tupaciguara-MG. Iconography (photos, pictures, maps and architecture plans of the institution) and oral sources obtained from interviews carried out with both the school former students and teachers. It was possible to verify that the education offered by the Curso Normal of the Colégio Imaculada Conceição was engaged with Christianity ideals of the Catholic Church, besides attending the desires of the time society, as follows: to form educated girls that could be able to work as elementary school teachers; to be good mothers and housewives. That would influence a significant number of families to enroll their daughters in that teaching institution.

This dissertation is the result of research accomplished during the year 2009/2010, in the Master course, Line of Policy and Management in Education, from the Graduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Uberlândia. It raises issues about the Public Policy and School Management, focusing on the praxis of Democratic School Management in Brazil, analyzing how it has been formed from the year 1980. To the development of the work we have defined as essential to explain a concept about Democratic School Management that has as essential elements decentralization, participation and autonomy, which are considered together as bases for defining a management model. The theses that structure this dissertation are based on two questions that drive the work: do exist today, substantially structure, theoretical models that substantiate the actual conditions and the possibilities of materialization of an educational school policy with rooted democratic? How, in the societal model installed, the Democratic School Management is designed, considering the conceptual matrices and the educational policy developed? With a possible synthesis way, methodologically, we have developed a bibliographic research, subsidized by a critical and investigative analysis with dialectical perspective, viewing the object in its historical, policy and social contextualization, therefore, in its concreteness in and for praxis. We understand that the Democratic School Management is dynamic and historically inserted in a complex context in which microstructural issues are composed with macrostructural guidelines. We exercise a movement of thesis / antithesis / synthesis movement as ways to improve our reflection and define logical ways that allow us improve our reflection and knowledge. The results of this study show us, in the context investigated, that there is no possibility of formation of the Democratic School Management, since that, the conciliator participacionist model to maintain an autocratic pattern of administration, focused on Taylorist models, constructed in neoliberal models that have in the individualism, managerialism and competitive its operating structure and concreteness, are, actually, effective.

This study deepened the knowledge about the Polyvalent State School Guiomar de Freitas Costa, located in Uberlândia (MG), in the period between the years 1971 and 1980. The Polyvalent Schools rose in a period of great economic euphoria, caused by an industrial surge which demanded qualified labor and that the country, by the existing educational conditions, could not supply. The formation of technical laborers to act in the productive sectors of agriculture, industry and commerce was pressing. The major questions that moved this study were: in which context this school was created and how it operated in its early years? Who were its students and which repercussions this education had on their formation and subsequent professional performance? The search for answers for these questions contemplated, methodologically, research of institutional documents in the County Public Archives and at the Regional Superintendence of Education in Uberlândia, bibliography research and, lastly, interviews with students and professional alumni of the school. The Polyvalent Schools, using as guide line of schooling, to link theory and practice, structured their curricula to offer a general formation together with the vocational one, with courses covering general instruction as well as agricultural, industry, commercial and home economics practices. It can be perceived, then, that the Polyvalent State School Guiomar de Freitas Costa, as well as the other Polyvalent Schools, started its work in a different manner in respect to the education proposal and quality. The union of these differentials attracted to the institution a public which, in its majority, did not share its pre-professional objectives, configuring one of its contradictions. This enterprise, regardless of the great financial investment received and the expectations risen, with the decline of the law that constituted them the Law nº 5,692/71 also had its proposal and installed activities an ephemeral duration.

Considering that since the 1990's, with the social inclusion movement, the government has mad important investments in the educational field, including the creation of public policies that propagate the lemma Education for all , through the national territory; that the people access to the information and communication technology is part of this process where affirmative actions has provided informatics laboratories to the schools, trying to cause the digital inclusion in the educational context; that we are conscious that only the material resources are not enough to generate the digital education; this investigation study aims to understand the Digital Education constitution process in the school routine, featuring a reflexion about the professionals pedagogical practices, such as the reassembly of this practices for the construction of a inclusive school. The study methodology uses a qualitative approach, putting together: direct observation, field notes, semistructured interviews, questionnaires and group. The subjects were professionals from various sector of the school, as: secretary, library, pedagogics, professors and laboratories, also including alumni form the 1st to 9th year. The gathered results revealed that there are promising advances in the professionals formation, but we are far from considering that the digital eduction actually covers the whole school context, since the most of professionals is digitally excluded. Hence, this work contributes for the determination of the challenges we will deal with in the continued formation of education professionals and in their pedagogical practices updating. Key-words: Social Inclusion, Pedagogical Practices, Digital Educational

This research falls within the study field of relations between education, work and professional formation. Also seeks to analyze the projects Partnership for education and The future in ours hands, that are developed by Votorantim Group under the organizational model of toyotist production and aimed at young people and adults. And even the formation of worker in the model of capitalist productive organization in the company Votorantim Metals, in Vazante MG, at the period in which such process has been consolidated. Our study begins of the following questions: why are there so many institutions proposing the professional requalification at a time when unemployment sweeps the world? What would be the (no) ways of human formation against the productive process? Who is interested in this knowledge, which the formation that is being proposed and for what work? And what is the conception of professional education (and society) that is contained in the Professional Formation Program of Votorantim Group, linked to programs Partnership for education and The future in ours hands? For both, it became necessary to understand the capitalism in Brazil in its partial transition from fordist paradigm to the flexible accumulation, in which the professional formation studied is included and that seeks adapt the education according to market imperatives. This to replace speeches and introduce new notions such as employability, competences, etc. Also sought to understand the changes in the work process in this company and its developments, objectives and subjectives, for the working class it belongs. Also aims to discuss about the conditions of modernization and development of programs that are based on toyotism and developments of such changes. And also its educational aspects, the adequacy of the working class to the changes cause by toyotism through training conducted in the company aimed at the deployment of new programs. The research still analyzes the education in the company aiming at the worker and his educational evolution in the model of capitalist productive organization.

The objective of this research is to problematize the resignification that the 1995 State Reform causes in the State's obligation regarding the "right to education", by means of the partnerships between the private and public sectors, and especially with the Civil Societies' Organizations of Public Interest - CSOPI's. In this concept, the study proposes to analyze the political-judicial aspect proposed in the 1988 Federal Constitution, halting the impact of the separation of the State from public educational service which, in view of the Reform, became characterized as non-exclusive. The investigation was made through bibliographic research, in classic and contemporary works on this theme and documental research, especially in recent legislation which normatizes the CSOPI and of the "third division". In viewof the resultant analysis it was possible to verify that, in the political/jurisdictional/constitutional scope this is classified as innovative interpretations, having a colaborative application, as public social service, including education, is a State obligation as an educational right. Nevertheless, these services are tainted by the revolt of the CSOPI's, especially in the educational sphere. However, in the institutional field, the indispensibility of the educational programs offered to the communities is verified, as well as the non-removal of the State departments from their constitutional responsibility (societal) regarding educational rights.

This work is linked to the line of Policy and Management in Education in the Master's Program of the Faculdade de Educação da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (FACED-UFU) and is based on research conducted through means of primary and secondary sources on the results of increasing employability and educational achievements of the youngsters who accomplished the Projeto Juventude Cidadã (PJC), developed by the Federal Government in conjunction with the municipal level in Uberaba-MG, in 2006 and 2007. The research covered two stages of development: bibliographical analysis and empirical reality. In the context of this project, we consider two fundamental issues: its inclusion in the total body of youth policies developed by the federal government and its links with the educational issue, once, not only in the PJC, but in all similar projects, the education of young people is addressed as a requirement. To establish the context of the PJC, this text describes a framework of federal public policies for professional education and social inclusion. Entrepreneurship and community participation, strong components of the normative documents that ruled the PJC, are understood as important elements in preparing young people for entering the labor market. At the end of the research we realized that, despite the social framework in the country demand the adoption and implementation of systemic long term policies, and, even though the interviewed accomplishing students have made a positive assessment, there is to be observed the fragmentary and occasional outline of the actions carried on by the Federal Government. The PJC did not escape this condition, having shown operational difficulties relating to the various stages of its execution. Considering the young students, it is argued not to be possible to impute solely to them full responsibility for their employment, after the training process provided for in projects linked to public policies. There is need to provide political action that lead the youngsters to finding a first job position and ensuring the maintenance of this condition.

This master s degree dissertation aimed at characterizing education in the state of Minas Gerais in the 1920s, when the country were going through many political, economical, social, and educational changes. To do so, this research focused on the education reform designed by Francisco Campos so that to identify its relationship with the state s development project as well as to place its foundations in the process of modernizing this state. Such a goal required an understanding of modernization in Brazil as whole as well. This way one could understand Minas Gerais society deeply, above all between 1926 and 1930, period in which Campos hold a position in the state government staff as internal affairs secretary. Methodological procedures included bibliographic research to contextualizing the subject matter historically and reading critically official speeches of Minas Gerais governor at the time to contrasting the official discourse with governor Antônio Carlos political program. Such a contrast could put into evidence the relationship between the ideals of modernization, liberalism, and New School and the educational changes presented by the education reform Francisco Campos planned for Minas Gerais in the 1920s.
