Na maioria das escolas públicas a presença dessas tecnologias, representada pelo computador, aconteceu com a criação dos laboratórios de informática. Estudos já desenvolvidos por inúmeros pesquisadores da área educacional evidenciaram que a criação dos laboratórios de informática não garantiu que esse instrumento fosse usado como auxiliar na construção do conhecimento pelos alunos devido à desconexão com os conteúdos do currículo. Com o objetivo de articular o uso do laboratório de informática com os conteúdos curriculares de 1º ao 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental, esta pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa com características de pesquisa-ação, porém, de metodologia experimental e participante propôs uma intervenção para o uso dos computadores como auxiliares ao processo pedagógico, por meio de um curso de formação continuada em serviço desenvolvido com 24 professores de uma escola pública municipal numa cidade de pequeno porte localizada no interior da região centro-oeste do estado de São Paulo. Como produto deste estudo de Mestrado Profissional, elaboramos um livro em formato digital com sugestões para o trabalho com professores no laboratório de informática. Verificamos que apesar do receio inicial na utilização do computador, os professores demonstraram-se interessados e participativos durante a realização das atividades do curso e assim contribuindo para que o laboratório de informática educacional torne-se um local de construção de conhecimentos favorável ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem. / Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) entered school environments to be auxiliary means to the process of teaching and learning. In most public schools, the presence of these technologies, which is represented by computers, happened with the setting of computer labs. Studies previously developed by several researchers of the educational field made it clear that the setting of computer labs did not guarantee that such tools were used to help students in their knowledge construction because of the disconnection with curriculum contents. Aiming at articulating the use of computer labs with the contents of Elementary School 1st to 5th year, this study, which had a qualitative approach with characteristics of an action research and used an experimental and participative methodology, purposed an intervention for the use of computers as helpers to the pedagogical process through a teachers’ continuous training during service developed with 24 individuals in a local public school of a small town in the countryside of São Paulo. As an outcome of this study for Professional Master Degree, we elaborated a digital book with suggestions for the work with teachers in computer labs. We verified that, even being insecure about using computers, teachers like such technology and showed themselves interested and participative during the training activities and, thus, contributed for educational computer labs to become knowledge construction places which are favorable to the process of teaching and learning.

abstract: The winter holiday period has been highlighted as a major risk period for weight gain due to excess caloric intake in the form of fat and sugar. Furthermore, diets high in fat and sugar have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Exercise aids in the prevention of weight/fat gain, and prevents deleterious changes in cardiometabolic function. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of a fat-sugar supplemented diet, with and without two different exercise training protocols, on body composition, glycemic control and other markers of cardiovascular disease in an at-risk population of overweight and obese males. Twenty-seven, healthy overweight/obese (BMI >25 kg/m2) males were fed 2 donuts per day, 6 days/week, for four weeks, while maintaining their current diet. In addition, all subjects were randomized to one of the following conditions: sedentary control, 1,000 kcal/week moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) (50% of peak oxygen consumption), or 1,000 kcal/week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) (90-95% of peak heart rate). Supervised exercise training was performed 4 days/week on a cycle ergometer. Changes in body weight and composition, endothelial function, arterial stiffness, glycemic control, blood lipids and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) were assessed before and after the intervention. Body weight, lean mass and visceral fat increased significantly in HIIT (p<0.05) and were unchanged in MICT. There was a trend for a significant increase in body weight (p=0.07) and lean mass (p=0.11) in control. Glycemic control during the 2-h OGTT improved significantly in MICT and control, with no change in HIIT. Hepatic insulin resistance index (IRI) and 30-min insulin during the OGTT improved significantly after MICT and worsened following control (p=0.03), while HIIT was unchanged. CRF increased significantly in both HIIT and MICT, with no change in control (p<0.001). There were no significant changes in other markers of cardiovascular disease. The addition of a fat-sugar supplement (~14,500 kcal) over a 4-week period was not sufficient to induce deleterious changes in body composition and cardiometabolic health in overweight/obese young males. Exercise training did not afford overweight/obese males additional health benefits, with the exception of improvements in fitness and hepatic IRI. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Physical Activity, Nutrition and Wellness 2016

A Rede Neural ARTMAP Fuzzy tem sido utilizada nas mais diversas áreas do conhecimento, no entanto, ainda é pouco explorada em aplicações de tempo real que exigem uma aprendizagem contínua. Neste trabalho, é proposto uma Rede Neural ARTMAP Fuzzy com treinamento continuado, capaz de adquirir conhecimento ao longo da classificação ou previsão. Modificações na arquitetura e no algoritmo de aprendizagem possibilitam à rede neural ativar o treinamento sempre que necessário. Para validar o modelo proposto foram realizadas duas aplicações, uma para previsão e outra para classificação, utilizando bases de dados benchmarks e comparado com a ARTMAP Fuzzy original. Os resultados mostraram a capacidade do modelo proposto em adquirir conhecimento ao longo das amostras apresentadas de forma estável e eficiente. Assim, este estudo contribui para a evolução da rede neural ARTMAP Fuzzy e apresenta o treinamento continuado como uma alternativa eficaz para aplicações de tempo real. / The evolution of internet resources has led to an increase in the flow of data, and consequently, the need for classification or forecasting models that support an online learning. The ARTMAP Fuzzy Neural Network has been used in several areas of knowledge, however, it is still little explored in real-time applications that require continuous learning. In this work, an ARTMAP Fuzzy Neural Network with continuous training is proposed, able to acquire knowledge along the classification or prediction. Modifications in the architecture and learning algorithm enable the neural network to activate training whenever necessary. To validate the proposed model two experiments were performed, one for forecasting and another for classification, using benchmark databases and compared with the original ARTMAP Fuzzy Neural Network. The results showed the ability of the proposed model to acquire knowledge along the presented samples in a stable and efficient way. Thus, this study contributes to the evolution of the ARTMAP Fuzzy neural network and presents the continuous training as an effective alternative to real-time applications.

Levando em consideração a criação desse Programa e a sua proposta, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar a prática do orientador de estudo no processo de formação continuada dos professores alfabetizadores a partir do PNAIC. A fim de responder nosso objetivo, realizamos observação participante das formações dos formadores da IES com os orientadores de estudos de Recife e de São Lourenço da Mata e, destes com os professores alfabetizadores em seus respectivos municípios, entrevistas semiestruturadas com duas orientadoras de estudos e análise documental de cadernos do PNAIC. Todas as formações foram gravadas em aparelho de áudio e anotados em diário de campo e, posteriormente, transcritos integralmente. Ao todo foram observados três seminários (II, III e IV) dos formadores com os orientadores de estudos de Recife e de São Lourenço da Mata, quatro encontros de orientadores de estudos de Recife (IV, V, VI, X) e quatro dos orientadores de São Lourenço da Mata (IV, V, VI, X) com os professores alfabetizadores. Os dados foram tratados a partir da análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2010). Os resultados revelaram que o orientador de estudos se apresenta no documento do Pacto como elemento fundante, pois é através dele que a proposta do PNAIC chega aos espaços de formação, é ele que vai tomar as decisões, organizar e planejar situações de aprendizagem sobre a língua portuguesa com os alfabetizadores. Nossa análise evidenciou que as orientadoras de estudos observadas priorizaram estratégias formativas relacionadas aos aspectos teóricos da formação, como estudo de texto e as questões práticas como nos momentos de retorno da tarefa de casa, variando em relação à recorrência, que ao transferi-las para a formação nos municípios fabricaram “táticas” para reconstruírem sua prática. Em relação ao tratamento dispensado na formação às práticas da sala de aula, verificamos que se tornaram objeto de análise e aprendizagem coletiva dos orientadores de estudos, tanto nas suas formações com os professores da IES, como nas formações com os professores alfabetizadores. / Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa (henceforth PNAIC), as a continuous training programme, aims at promoting reflection about literacy process of Brazilian basic school students and teachers practice. Taking into account the aforementioned programme and its goals, the present study aims at analysing Study Counselor's practices regarding continuous training programme for teachers in charge of developing students literacy skills. In order to attain the goal of this study we attended and observed pre-service training programme for Brazilian Universities' trainers in which Study Counselors from Recife and São Lourenço da Mata participated, and we also attended continuous training programme workshops held by Study Counselors. We conducted semistructured interviews to two Study Counselors in additon to analysing PNAIC official document and guidelines. We voice-recorded the workshops, wrote down notes and also transcribed recordings in its entirety. We attended three seminars held by Study Counselors for teachers of both Recife and São Lourenço da Mata (II, III and IV), four meetings of Study Counselors for Recife's (IV, V, VI, X), and four meetings of Study Counselors for São Lourenço da Mata's literacy teachers (IV, V, VI, X). Data were processed according to Bardin's content analysis theory (2010). Results showed that Study Counselors are considered a fundamental element in PNAIC official document and guidelines because the programme proposal is to be delivered by means of them in the workshops, and Study Counselors are also in charge of making decisions, organizing and planning learning situations with literacy teachers concerning Portuguese language. Our analysis made evident that Study Counselors prioritized formative strategies related to theoretical aspects, such as scholarly articles study, as well as practical matters, such as those concerning students turning in assigned homework. When teaching strategies at workshops for literacy teachers, these strategies turned into "tactics" in order for literacy teachers to be able to apply them in a classroom environment. As far as classroom teaching practices are concerned, it was made evident that these became Study Counselors' study element for both analysis and collective learning in seminars designed for Brazilian universities trainers, as well as in workshops for literacy teachers.

It was chosen as starting point the focus of who establishes and implements such policies. In that period the CFPM passed through administrative restructuring that reveal changes in classifications of which emerge new directions for public policies of continuous formation. Accordingly, the study is divided into three chapters which are formed through the issues that conduct this search, which articulated the goals, guiding the process of research. Thus, these chapters respond to the following questions: What is the historic materiality of the public policy of continuous training teaching? What the academic prospects and practices of the public policies to continuous formation implemented at the CFPM? What are the contradictions, implicit and explicit, of the policies of continuous formation implemented at the CFPM? / Este estudo analisa as políticas públicas de formação continuada materializadas no Centro de Formação Permanente do Magistério (CFPM), no período de 2000 a 2006. Elegeuse como ponto de partida o enfoque de quem elabora e implementa tais políticas. Aborda-se que no referido período o CFPM passou por reestruturações administrativas que revelam mudanças de nomenclaturas das quais emerge novos direcionamentos para as políticas públicas de formação continuada. Nesse sentido, o estudo está organizado em três capítulos que se constituíram mediante as questões norteadoras da pesquisa, que articuladas aos objetivos, nortearam o processo de investigação. Assim, os referidos capítulos respondem às seguintes questões: Qual a materialidade histórica das políticas públicas de formação continuada docente? Quais as perspectivas teóricas e práticas das políticas públicas de formação continuada implementadas no CFPM?

Importa-nos esta questão, por um lado, porque constatamos que apesar de o Centro de Educação a distância (CEND), órgão responsável pelo ensino à distância na UEM, capacitar os professores, alguns continuam encontrando dificuldades para lidar com as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC’s), principalmente no que diz respeito ao uso da plataforma de ensino. Por outro, constata-se a falta de esforços conjuntos entre o CEND e os professores no sentido de desenvolverem outras iniciativas que favoreçam uma melhoria nos níveis de compreensão dos professores em relação ao ensino a distância, como, por exemplo, capacitações internas ao nível das Faculdades. Consequentemente, verifica-se que os professores não estão comprometidos com as suas atribuições, sobretudo no que diz respeito à produção de recursos de aprendizagem, apesar de esta questão estar plasmada no regulamento. Não obstante, tratando-se de um estudo qualitativo e de uma proposta que visa melhorar a atuação do CEND em relação às dificuldades dos professores frente às TIC’s, o estudo terá como estratégias para a colecta das informações, a entrevista e o questionário. Tanto a entrevista quanto o questionário serão direcionados aos técnicos do CEND e aos professores, uma vez que as informações colectadas serão relevantes para compreendermos como e de que forma esta instituição tem lidado com os problemas que os professores enfrentam. Espera-se, por conseguinte, que o Plano de Ação Educacional (PAE) traga sugestões possíveis que, de certo modo, contribuam para a melhoria das percepções e/ou concepções dos técnicos do CEND em relação aos programas de capacitação em TIC’s para os professores da UEM. / This dissertation is aimed at proposing a Technology Distance Training programme for Lecturers at Eduardo Mondlane University in Maputo, Mozambique. This matter is of relevance for us, on one hand, because we have noticed that although the Distance training Centre, the responsible body for distance education at UEM, trains teachers, some still face dfficiculties to handle Information Technollogy and Communication (ITC). This is more observed on the teaching platform usage. On the other hand, we have become aware of lack of joint effort among the CEND and the teachers to develop further initiatives that can improve teachers’ understanding level on disrance education aspects., for instance, internal training at Faculty level. As a consequence, it is observed that teachers are not committed on their attribute duties, especially on development of learning resources, though this is preconised in the guidelines. However, being this a qualitative research of a proposal that aims to improve the CEND performance to overcome the teachers’ challenges with ITC, the research based on the strategy of data collection, interviews and questionnaires. Both interviews and questionnaires were designed for CEND specialists and teachers. This is so because data collected from them will play an important role to understand the manner this institution handles challenges that teachers face. We are of the hope that, hereinafter, the Education Action Plan (PAE) will draw possible suggestions which, to some extent, will contribute to the improvement of CENFD specialists perception and/or technical conception as far as the ITC training programmes are concerned for UEM teachers.

La recherche, qui fait l’objet de cette thèse, pose la question de la contribution des espaces dits de e-learning dans la formation continue d’enseignants. Elle aborde plus spécifiquement les effets des espaces ou environnements numériques « situés », appelés communautés virtuelles, sur les façons de vivre, d’exercer et d’enrichir sa formation ainsi que d’aborder une nouvelle situation professionnelle. Elle s’intéresse particulièrement aux usages du numérique situés dans des espaces interstitiels où interagissent de façon réciproque des modalités d’apprentissage formel et informel. Le cadre conceptuel et théorique, emprunté au courant ethnologique de la sociologie des usages, porte sur le concept de communauté de pratiques et de pratiques communautiques. Il considère les usages du numérique comme constitutifs de manières de faire singulières ou d’inventions du quotidien grâce à ces espaces et en fonction de différents éléments (ou logiques) qui en facilitent ou en contraignent les usages. Dans le cadre d’une monographie, en procédant à une observation de deux espaces en ligne (un mis à disposition par l’organisme de formation et l’autre avec le support de la messagerie électronique), en menant des entretiens compréhensifs et en analysant le contexte institutionnel, sont croisées différentes sources de données. Les résultats indiquent l’émergence d’espaces interstitiels prenant appui sur des formes de sociabilité électronique. Ces espaces sont localisés à mi-chemin entre des pratiques dans une institution de formation et des pratiques quotidiennes, personnelles ou groupales. Les apports de la recherche sont d’établir un cadre conceptuel et méthodologique ainsi que de parvenir à une meilleure compréhension du rôle de l’apprentissage informel et de la sociabilité numérique dans les contextes de l’usage du numérique et de la formation continue des enseignants. / The research that forms the subject of this thesis interrogates the contribution made by so-called e-learning spaces in the continuous training of teachers. More specifically, the research investigates the effects of ‘situated’ digital spaces and environments, known as virtual communities, on ways of living, practising and enhancing one’s training as well as embarking on a new professional work situation. Particular attention is paid to the use of situated digital technology within “interstitial spaces” where formal and informal modes of learning interact with one another. The conceptual and theoretical framework, taken from the ethnological branch of the sociology of uses, focuses on the concepts of community of practice and community-based practices. That framework sees the uses of digital technology as constituting unique approaches and everyday inventions based on these spaces and depending on the various elements (or logics) that facilitate or hinder the use of them. Distinct sources of data are cross-referenced within the framework of a research monograph, leading onto a study of two online spaces (one made available by the training organisation and the other using electronic messaging), also carrying out comprehensive interviews and analysing the institutional context. The results suggest the emergence of interstitial spaces which build upon forms of electronic sociability. These spaces are located at a midway point between the practices of training institutions and every day personal or group-based practices. The contributions of this research are in its establishment of a conceptual and methodological framework, as well as in the achievement of a greater understanding of the role of informal learning and digital sociability within the contexts of digital technology use and continuous teacher training.

Background: A crucial part of rehabilitation of cardiovascular disease is to increase aerobic capacity. High intensity intervals are an emerging field in cardiac rehabilitation. Adhering to physical training has been shown to be quite hard for these patients. There is no systematic review of different training intensities for these patients that also include interventions towards changing and adhering to new training behaviors. Objective: Map out changes in VO2peak from high intensity intervals or moderate continuous training in cardiac rehabilitation and to see if theories or techniques for behavioral change was applied to maintain and increase adherence to physical activity. Method: This systematic review was done with the databases of PubMed and PEDro. The studies could only include patients with heart failure or coronary artery diseases. Articles were assessed for quality and given a preliminary level of evidence. Results: 11 articles were included; ten studies showed a significant increase in VO2peak. Three studies showed a significant increase in VO2peak between groups in favor of high intensity intervals. Some behavior change techniques could be interpreted by the authors, but no theories were used. Conclusion: This review could not conclude that one specific modality of training is superior in cardiac rehabilitation.

Esta pesquisa tem como principal objetivo conhecer os projetos de Estudo do Meio, significativos do ponto de vista do ensino e aprendizagem, desenvolvidos nas escolas públicas municipais de Ensino Fundamental (5ª a 8ª série) de Santana de Parnaíba. Analisamos, no contexto da realidade escolar pública, as possibilidades de práticas que tenham resultados positivos na formação dos educandos. Os principais documentos da pesquisa são os questionários e as entrevistas com professoras e supervisoras. Os questionários foram aplicados com os professores de todas as disciplinas e, a partir da análise, identificamos, entre outros projetos, trabalhos de Estudo do Meio realizados por duas professoras que foram escolhidos como estudo de caso. As entrevistas com essas professoras permitiram conhecer o desenvolvimento dos projetos, as condições que favoreceram as realizações e os resultados obtidos. Discutimos como o modelo cartesiano de conhecimento influenciou ideologicamente a sociedade industrial, inclusive no que se refere à instituição escolar e, ainda, a importância do pensamento dialético nas práticas educativas. Abordamos também questões relacionadas às práticas de ensino vinculadas aos aspectos da estrutura escolar e da formação contínua dos educadores. Discutimos a importância do Projeto Político Pedagógico e do currículo em construção vivenciado no cotidiano escolar. Com base na análise das informações dos dois projetos de Estudo do Meio, buscamos conhecer ações pedagógicas voltadas para uma aprendizagem significativa em escolas públicas. Analisamos o Estudo do Meio como uma alternativa de método, que leva em conta as subjetividades dos educandos, que tem como princípio o trabalho coletivo, a integração das disciplinas e uma aprendizagem crítica. Por fim, concluímos que determinadas práticas pedagógicas podem revigorar o cotidiano do espaço escolar, no caminho da compreensão da realidade em sua complexidade, na formação da cidadania e na função social da escola. / This survey targets at getting to know the projects Environment Study, meaningful from the teaching and learning points of view, as deployed in Santana de Parnaiba public schools of Fundamental Education (5th to 8th degree). We analyzed the practical possibilities within public education\'s contextual reality giving a positive return to students\' formation. Quizzes and interviews with teachers and supervisors form the survey\'s main documents. The quizzes were presented to teachers of all branches of knowledge and after the analysis we identified and choose as study cases\' from among other projects\' two Environment Studies done by two lady teachers. The interviews with the two teachers gave us the opportunity to know about the project development, conditions favoring realizations and the results thus attained. We discussed how the Cartesian model of knowledge had influence over the industrial society, including what relates to the school institution and also the importance of dialectic thinking on educational practices. We also approached issues relating to teaching practices and linked to aspects of the schooling structure and continuous training of educators. We discussed about the importance of a Pedagogic Political Project and the curriculum vitae daily developed in schools. After the analysis of all information collected from the Environment Studies of both projects, we tried to know the types of pedagogic actions that might be focused on a meaningful learning at public schools. We analyzed the Environment Study as an alternative approach method, taking into consideration that as a principle all of the students\' subjectivities carry a collective work, an integration of disciplines and a critical learning. Finally, we came to the conclusion that certain pedagogical practices may daily strengthen the school space towards an understanding of reality in all its complexity and may also strengthen the formation of citizenship and the school\'s social function.
