From this perspective, this study was to investigate the contribution of constructivist methodology in teaching Production Engineering. For this purpose an experiment was conducted in groups of students of Engineering Production UFERSA, UFF e CEFET-RJ, with the aim of comparing the gains made by students in a traditional classroom and in a constructivist classroom. The two classes discussed the concepts related to Just In Time philosophy. For the constructivist classroom was used Game Production Management, activity games adapted for use in the teaching of production engineering, raised in the literature. Comparison of the results was performed from the application of statistical tests and McNemar Binomial. The results obtained by use of statistical tests denote the contribution of the inclusion of activities in teaching Constructivist Production Engineering. The results collected through a questionnaire administered to students who participated in the experiments showed the acceptance of constructive activity as a tool to complement the exhibition of traditional concepts covered in class. / O método de ensino construtivista tem como característica principal a adoção de atividades práticas em que o individuo interage diretamente com o objeto de seu desenvolvimento, sendo motivado a participar ativamente do processo de aprendizagem em que está incluído, explorando seus conhecimentos anteriores e sua criatividade. Sob essa perspectiva, este trabalho buscou investigar a contribuição da metodologia construtivista no ensino de Engenharia de Produção. Para isso foi realizado um experimento em turmas de alunos dos cursos de Engenharia de Produção da UFERSA, UFF e CEFET-RJ, com o objetivo de comparar os ganhos obtidos pelos alunos em uma aula tradicional e em uma aula construtivista. As duas aulas abordaram os conceitos relacionados à filosofia Just In Time. Para a aula construtivista foi utilizado o Jogo Gestão da Produção, atividade adaptada de jogos utilizados no ensino de engenharia de produção, levantados na literatura. A comparação dos resultados obtidos foi feita a partir da aplicação dos testes estatísticos de McNemar e Binomial. Os resultados obtidos pela utilização dos testes estatísticos denotam a contribuição da inserção de atividades construtivistas no ensino de Engenharia de Produção. Os resultados coletados por meio de um questionário aplicado com os alunos que participaram dos experimentos mostrou a aceitação da atividade construtivista como instrumento complementar a exposição dos conceitos abordados nas aulas tradicionais.

Métodos: Estudo transversal, analítico, prospectivo, comparativo, controlado, divido em duas Fases. Primeira Fase: Ensino-Treinamento de Monitores; Segunda Fase: Ensino-Treinamento das Turmas de 2° e 8° Períodos. Amostra constituída de 332 estudantes divididos em 03 grupos: A, Monitores; B, 2° período e C, 8° período, 15 foram excluídos estudantes. Os grupos receberam aulas de cinco procedimentos de emergências aplicando didática diferenciada para cada grupo. Estes treinaram os procedimentos duas horas por semana durante um semestre. Aplicou-se o Protocolo de Avaliação de Ensinotreinamento de Procedimentos de Emergência (Pré e Pós-teste), prova objetivadiscursiva e a Escala de Avaliação Global de Desempenho Operativo (OSATS) para estimação de habilidades desenvolvidas. Resultados: Grupo A desenvolveu médias superiores aos grupos B e C em todas as variáveis. As diferencias entre os grupos B e C não foram significativas. O grupo C não demostrou um desempenho superior aos outros. Conclusões: Estudantes de medicina desenvolveram conhecimentos e habilidades clinico-cirúrgicas homogêneas mediante a aplicação da metodologia construtivista fundamentada no uso de modelos cirúrgicos suínos e anatômicos, sendo capazes de executar satisfatoriamente procedimentos invasivos de emergência. / Aims: Apply a constructivist methodology based on the use of new surgical swine models in the teaching and training of emergency procedures for training medical students. Methods: Cross-sectional, analytical, prospective, comparative, controlled, divided into two phases. First phase: Teaching and Training of Monitors; Stage Two: Teaching and Training of Classes 2 and 8th periods. Sample consisting of 332 students divided into 03 groups: A, Monitors; B, 2nd period and C, 8th period, 15 students were excluded. The five groups received emergency procedures applying different classes teaching for each group. These procedures have trained two hours per week for one semester. Applied the Protocol Assessment of Teaching and Training Emergency Procedures (pre and post-test), the objective is discursive event and the Global Assessment Scale Operating Performance (OSATS) pet developed skills. Results: Group A developed higher average than the B and C groups for all variables. The differences between groups B and C were not significant. Group C did not show superior performance to others. Conclusions: Medical students developed clinical and surgical skills homogeneously by applying the constructivist methodology based on the use of surgical pigs and anatomical models and performed invasive emergency procedures.

This study examines the impact of rapid and multi-faceted change (both domestically and inter-nationally over the past four decades) on the Dutch Reformed Church. 2 February 1990 is taken as a water shed date in the history of South-Africa: a speech in parliament of former president FW de Klerk put South-Africa on a course of fundamental change in all spheres of society. The research problem deals with loss the Afrikaans community experiences as a result of societal change. The result of change and loss is long-lasting, collective grief. Grief is defined as the nor-mal, spontaneous reaction to change and loss. Unresolved grief and nostalgia saps a lot of energy and tends to turn a congregation’s attention to itself, thereby contradicting the sound reformed ecclesiology. There is no appropriate practical theological theory to help congregations address unresolved grief. Change, loss and grief are made focus points for theological reflection and empirical study. The guiding hypothesis states that efforts to build up the local church are more likely to succeed, once the “black holes” of unaddressed grief have been dealt with by a collective and on-going process of mourning. Mourning is defined as an intentional and courageous process of letting go of different losses. It is hard work, but the result of deliberate mourning is growth – and eventually a more appropriate, new identity. Unresolved grief causes congregations to get stuck in survival mode, in stead of reaching out to the nations with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Mourning is an antidote (Hamman 2005:35). The research model of G Heitink (1993) is employed to generate fresh practical theological thinking on the research problem: that congregations fail to live according to their missional identity. The hermeneutical cycle explores the “new” practical theology in the framework of a post-Einstein epistemology, as well as the theory of building up the local church in the framework of an ecosystemic meta-theory. The hermeneutical cycle is concluded with the study of contemporary theories of loss, grief and mourning. The empirical cycle reports the results of a qualitative empirical study in three local congregations of the Northern Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church. A rich description is given of 31 respondents’ experience of loss and grief in the new South-Africa. It is established that unresolved grief indeed impacts negatively on efforts to build up the local church. The strategic cycle searches for practical theological wisdom and for a theory that can guide congregations to more productive responses to change and loss. The research boils down to twelve strategic suggestions for local congregations on how to make collective mourning a normal and on-going part of their ministry. The study concludes with the hypothesis that practical theology can serve the church by developing a theory that integrates intentional mourning and grief work as a necessary and normal aspect of ministry. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Practical Theology / unrestricted
