 This article is the result of a theoretical research and is part of a larger study under development in the doctorate program in Education of the State University Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho. It aims to understand the importance of aesthetic literacy for the development of reading and writing of young and adult students in rural education from readings and comic books productions. This study is based on Cultural-Historical theory and has as a method the Didactic-Formative Experiment. The data recording instruments used in the research are the field records of observations made in the classroom, the audio recording of interviews with the students, as well as visual records of the comic books produced by the students and classes recordings in videos. For data analysis, we will follow the perspective of Dialectical Historical Materialism. When considering reading and writing as social and cultural practices, literacy is fundamental in the educational process. In this sense, we understand that comic books are important instruments for the development of reading and writing of the young and adults of the rural education, allying text and image in the process of teaching and learning. 

This study aims to analyze the teaching staff responsible for teaching the discipline of educational and general sociology in the regular course of a catholic college in southern Brazil between the years 1940 and 1970. The theoretical framework is based on authors of the History of School Disciplines and the sources refer to the school archives of the aforementioned institution. The results suggest a linkage between the teaching staff, the premises of the Church and, hence, a catholic sociology.

The teacher-student relationship is an important factor in the teaching-learning process and requires a teacher with, among other skills, a developed repertoire of social skills (SS). This study is a systematic review to evaluate the scientific publications on the subject of SS related to the teaching performance in Higher Education, considering the face-to-face modality. We analyzed 23 articles, published until November 2015 in six different databases (Scielo Brasil, PEPSIC, LILACS, Index Psi, Corpus PHS and PsycArticles), that focused on SS and/or nonverbal and paralinguistic components presented by the teacher in the classroom and/or in his/her relation with the students. The SS were evaluated by students, teachers and researchers and, in 47.9% of the articles, the use of validated instruments was involved. The most studied SS classes were communication (82.6%), work (52.1%) and expression of positive feelings (39.1%). While the first two classes seem to be more related to the traditional posture of the professor as a transmitter of knowledge, the latter seems to be more related to the current concern that the teacher should take on the role of mediator between the student and the knowledge, pointing to a gradual process of changes in the SS set required for effective performance in higher education. New revisions could confirm or refute the data described here.

The article uses the campaign to combat the mosquito Aedes Aegypti developed by the Brazilian government in late 2015 and early 2016, and through this, problematize some connections between the notions of biopolitics, biopower and governmentality with what seems to us that it is presented as a production trend of entrepreneurs subjects in the education of this country. We believe that the aforementioned campaign called #ZIKAZERO, can function as an example of what appears to be a directive to education by the society to assume the role of flagship of the gradual entry of entrepreneurship in formal education. On this text we begin developing the three concepts mentioned above having as underlying theme the campaign; then we will connect education with the consumer society using the notion of entrepreneurship as the link that favors the processes back and forth between this two elements; and finally, we will show how the campaign #ZIKAZERO serves as an example to expose some of the practices associated with the movement of entrepreneurship, and as the population is called to ‘do their part’ in what be seen as a production of entrepreneurial subjectivities.

In this article, we examine the work of Cecilia Meirelles in the ‘Página de Educação’, of the Diário de Notícias, of Rio de Janeiro, particularly the texts published in the ‘Commentario’ section, between June 12, 1930, when this newspaper was founded, and October 3, 1930, when the revolution commanded by Getúlio Vargas took place. During this period, Meirelles, in addition to divulging the principles of escolanovismo, addressing specific topics that could clarify it, dealt with problems that emerged with the Reform of Education of the Federal District realized by Fernando de Azevedo. In a way or another, she proved to be a combative author, who put herself in the front line for the renewal of education in Brazil, making daily comments on subjects that, in general, intertwined education and politics. 

This article presents the results of an ongoing research on school institutions. Its object of study is the Scholar Group Barão de Mipibu, with a time frame from 1909 to 1920. It aims to analyze, through the studied school group, how the scholar architecture contributed to the republican imaginary construction in the Rio Grande do Norte’s society. To base our study, we used some authors, specifically: Moreira (2005), Escolano (2001), Bencostta (2005) and Le Goff (2004). This study is important to collaborate with the Brazilian History of Education, as well as the primary school in Brazil. At last, we understand that the Scholar Group Barão de Mipibu set in the context of creation of scholar groups throughout the country, was an instrument of the republican social imaginary formation through its physical space and its architecture. 

The conception of humanism for contemporary education has been presented by some authors with the perspective of a new paradigm for education. Faced with this imperative, we analyze the theme in order to perceive possible interfaces between the conceptions of a humanist education promulgated by UNESCO and the National Education Plan. To do so, we chose three documents pertinent to the study: from UNESCO, the text Education: a treasure to be discovered, also entitled Delors Report (1997) and Rethinking education: towards a global common good? (2016) and from national legislation, the National Education Plan, Law 13,005, dated June 15, 2014. The methodology is the qualitative research, through literature review and documentary analysis. The analysis of the data is given by the Content Analysis proposed by Bardin (2016). The results point to: a humanistic conception of contemporary education; The humanist principles affirmed by UNESCO; The humanistic character of the National Education Plan and the four pillars proposed by Delores that were little achieved. For the continuity of the study, the debate on other ways of overcoming technicity and achieving a full development of the four pillars of education is suggested.

This article aimed to discuss the contributions of Michel Foucault to Education, and the role of biopolitics and its interrelationships with curriculum, in school everyday. We present the theoretical-practical contributions of a cyberculture research-training, carried out in the context of the Undergraduate Course in Education of the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, in the period 2013-14, whose fundamental characteristic is to form the other and form ourselves in the process. We sought to integrate research and teaching in higher education, through the creation of curriculum acts, supported in diverse material and intellectual devices, from which emerged research processes and products that have constituted in effective actions of curriculum biopolitics. In this way, we identified a set of indicators grouped in the integrative, formative and technological dimensions, which propitiated the development of autonomy and the emergence of teaching and student authorships, in different languages and formats, materialized in textual and imagery narratives, in educational networks, and made available in the form of REA - Open Educational Resources. 

The present paper aimed to know the representations and the practices of Physical Education teachers, who teach in different cycles of teaching, related to the movement from the binomial ‘thought’ (the movement structured in the curriculum) and ‘lived’ (the one that is informal, not formal, of phenomenological intention). To do so, two paradigms of curriculum and practice approach were taken as reference: the ‘Physical Education thought’ – of formal curriculum; the Physical Education – here called as lived – lived by the spontaneous act of the game, the play, the experiencing, the context, the circumstance. The group (sample) of study was constituted by 10 teachers (5 of the 2ndcycle and 5 of the 3rd cycle). For data collection, we used a semi-structured interview; for data analysis, we used a qualitative/content analysis of the data. The results reveal similar and complementary views on the issue. 

This article emerges from an exploratory qualitative study conducted with faculty members from higher education institutions in Brazil, Spain and Mexico. The goal of the study was to analyse the perceptions of faculty members from the looked at institutions, on pedagogical innovation resulting from the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in their teaching practices. The data were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire forwarded by e-mail. Content analysis technique was used to study the data. Results showed three types of perceptions held by faculty members in relation to pedagogical innovations arising from the use of ICT in their practices. Most firmly believe and identify innovations resulting from the use of ICT. A smaller number of participants also identify innovations, but point out that, in addition to the use of ICT, they are the result of the teacher's attitude. There is also the opinion related to the saturated use of ICT, without the perception of innovation. 

This paper studies the reception of a sample of readers of the book 1808: how a crazy queen, a scared king and a corrupt court fooled Napoleon and changed the history of Portugal and Brazil, by Laurentino Gomes. The concepts of public history and historical culture are used, from the Didactics of History (Bergmann, 1990; Rüsen, 2001), to which the historical teaching and learning are a complex and multifactorial phenomenon. We dedicated to study the reception or the learning of a sample of readers of the book 1808 from three dimensions of the historical culture: cognitive, aesthetics and politics (Rüsen, 1994). The data were obtained with the application of a questionnaire through internet and interpreted based on the content analysis (Bardin, 2011). We concluded, based on the analysis of the interview data, that the success of such book is sustained on the history taught at school (that ‘educates an interested public’) and on the academic history (as source of authority); aesthetic resources are indicated by readers as an important factor of interest. The combination of aesthetic and historiographic factors generates, among readers, a ‘window effect’ that seems to provide immediate access to the past, in which a restricted critical awareness of the readers is observed.

In this research the historical context of the Graphic Expression disciplines present in the curriculum of the Mathematics course of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) from 1974 to 2006 (year of the last curricular reform) is discussed. The purpose is to indicate the possible cause for the almost no development of concepts in this area, which in Basic Education encompasses, above all, Geometry in the Mathematics discipline. For this, we seek information in official documents, direct work with students, teachers and public schools of basic education, verifying that the study of Graphic Expression has been subtracted, causing a gap in the formation of the future teacher who should develop such topics with his future students, indicating a possible cause for the (dis)appearance of the work of concepts in Basic Education contributing to the curricular fragmentation.

This text, in the attempt of bringing contributions for the understanding of the course of Pedagogy, leans over on the history of the course offered byUniversityofSciencesand Letters of UNESP of Araraquara, focusing their structures curriculares. For so much, they are analyzed the nomenclatures that composed the curricula of the course in their five versions (1959, 1969, 1979, 2000 and 2006), trying to explain his/her configuration to the light of the presuppositions of the cultural materialism, proposed by Welsh Raymond Williams (1921 -1988). In that sense, the text tries to show, considering their limitations, some put tensions during the processes of change of the curricula, as well as the forms as those processes are connected to the history of the course of Pedagogy in Brazil; for so much, it is been worth, for instance, of the put tensions between the specialist's of the education area formation and the teacher. He/she concludes advocating that, besides the concerning discussions to the own configuration of the scientific field the absence of a knowledge specifically pedagogic (that here passes the denominated being of dominant knowledge) it can be an explanatory factor for the countless crises that mark the history of the pedagogy course inBrazil.

 This article aims to investigate the condition of primary education teacher from the point of view of the presidents of the province of Pará, from the discourse of Soares Andréa in 1838 to the law 203 of 1851, approaching those days idea of a good teacher, the opinion about the teachers at work in the province and the actual conditions in which this professional acted. In their reports, speeches and discourses, presidents dealt with the general state of education and pointed out teachers in this scenario, highlighting their more specific comments on this professional as well as the conception of his work, as well as the established guidelines and requirements. The article is the result of a broader research on public education in Pará during the Second Empire, more specifically, between 1840 and 1852. 

The look of this study turned to the autobiographies of professors of the Mathematics Courses of private higher education institutions in Curitiba. The main objective of the research was to investigate teachers’ perceptions about the relationship between continuing education and technological resources and to develop the following specific objectives: to analyze teacher’s perceptions about the use of technological resources in continuing education and to examine how teachers understand the use of such technologies in the relationship between teacher and student in the teaching-learning process. The methodology used was a bibliographical and field research, relying on the theoretical framework studies of Brito and Purificação (2011), Rasco and Recio (2013), Gimeno Sacristán (2013), Tardif (2014) and Kenski (2015). As far as field research is concerned, the theoretical-methodological procedures of the Oral History were used to perform the seven interviews with the teachers who worked in the Mathematics Courses in Curitiba. It was possible to perceive that the teachers perceive the possibilities and the challenges both in the use of the technological resources in the continuing education, and in the relationship between teacher and student. Among the possibilities, the continued formation in flexible times and spaces; among the challenges, to monitor the speed of innovations and their applicationa in the classroom. 

This article is about the conditions for the invention of a translating didactism, through the fable writing. In order to do so, it analyzes the responses given by 26 teachers to the research instrument Didatic Script for the translation of a class or a workshop, which was worked on in the four nuclei of the Project called Writreading: Postulating a translating didactism, from the concepts of pure difference and sign (Gilles Deleuze), as well as invention (Henri Bergson), it triangulates the questions of the Script to show the operative threads of the didactics of the Writreading Project. It concludes that its invention conditions imply to build and to inhabit a certain theoretical domain and to have a certain discipline of the bodies, which is arranged by the encounter with the signs of art. Domains and bodies that enhance thinking, invention and fable; allowing, in this ambulation, the birth of different readings and writings.
