Globalização na escola, para além de um conteúdo / Globalization at school, beyond a content

Bonassi, Edna Celeste Vieira 20 September 2010 (has links)
Esta dissertação trata do ensino da globalização, enquanto conteúdo no último ano do Ensino Fundamental. A pesquisa envida nos caminhos de compreensão da globalização no campo teórico, mas enfocada principalmente em sua materialização no lugar de vivência do aluno, expresso no cotidiano e as relações dialéticas aí geradas a fim de oportunizar condições de contexto dessa temática para encaminhamento do tema nas aulas de Geografia. O nascedouro desta proposta ocorreu em função de contradições e paradoxos no comportamento dos alunos em relação à posse e uso de aparelhos tecnológicos de última geração, e também, das dificuldades, enfrentadas por nós professores, no ensino desse conteúdo. Assim, o objetivo da pesquisa está direcionado para a possibilidade de contextualizar o conteúdo da globalização na perspectiva dialética, considerando as variáveis que se lhe constituem, as dimensões: tecnológica, cultural, política, econômica e social, manifestas e imbricadas no cotidiano. Antes, porém é dedicado um espaço de compreensão do jovem e sua condição no contexto da e na globalização, se perfazendo no lugar do vivido, do cotidiano. O jovem, neste início de século, vive em presentes perpétuos, fragmentados pelas imagens, signos e significados; o tempo presente é um momento aparentemente único, descolado de um passado e supostamente sem vínculo com o futuro. A juventude, enquanto condição está equacionada nos moldes da racionalidade econômica e disponibilizada à globalização através dos sentidos orientados para o mercado de consumo neste momento sócio histórico e cultural, quando os signos, produtos e cultura, tomam a forma de mercadoria e delineiam comportamentos que sugerem o imediatismo e a efemeridade. Demonstramos as relações do contexto através das respostas dadas pelos alunos, seja no questionário de perguntas fechadas ou abertas. Para tanto, se fez necessária a compreensão de elementos constitutivos da globalização, no caso, destaca-se a tecnologia e o consumo, este com conotação cultural, em decorrência da ênfase dada às mercadorias-signos, imagens e bens que, em geral, ganham novos significados no processo, assim como a cidadania atrelada aos direitos de consumo a serviço do capitalismo. Tem-se nessa dialética a relação ensino aprendizagem da e na globalização objetivado no desenvolvimento formativo do aluno. Nesse sentido, destacamos as entrevistas com os professores, a fim de apurar como é articulado o conteúdo da globalização, no último ano do Ensino Fundamental, na intenção de evidenciar as dificuldades desses profissionais com relação ao tema para um posicionamento mediante às questões relevantes e propor sugestões. O encaminhamento, por sua vez, se constitui como eixo de sugestões possíveis para compor a articulação do conteúdo da globalização no movimento dialético das dimensões que lhe perfazem, a fim de favorecer o ensino e aprendizagem desse tema tão complexo. Faz-se necessário ainda tornar significativo o conteúdo a partir da realidade vivida por esses jovens e contribuir para um modo de pensar mais consciente e formador do aluno no desenvolvimento da cidadania. / This dissertation deals with the teaching of globalization as course content in the final year of primary level education. The study endeavors to bring to light how globalization is understood at the theoretical level, however, it mainly focuses on how globalization is inserted into the everyday experience of students, how it is expressed in their day-to-day lives and the dialectic processes that arise therein, with the purpose of taking advantage of the contextual conditions of this subject matter and how it is delivered in Geography classes. The concept for this study arose from the contradictions and paradoxes evident in the behavior of students with regards to their possession and use of the latest generation technological devices, and also from the difficulties that we, as teachers, face in teaching this subject. Thus, the aim of this study concerns the possibility of contextualizing the subject of globalization from a dialectic perspective, considering the variables that constitute it: the technological, cultural, political, economic and social dimensions, which overlap each other in everyday life. Beforehand, however, part of the study is dedicated to the comprehension of youths and their position in the context of globalization, and how it is received in their experiences and daily life. At the beginning of this new century, youths are living in the \"perpetual present\", a world fragmented by a plethora of images, signs and meanings; the present time is an apparently unique moment, detached from the past and with supposedly no link to the future. Youth as a condition is laid out in the moulds of economic rationality and is exposed to globalization through senses that are oriented towards the consumer market at this socio-historical and cultural junction, when signs, products and culture take the form of merchandise and delineate a type of behavior defined by immediatism and ephemerality. The students relationships with the context are demonstrated by the replies they gave in questionnaires containing both closed-ended and open-ended questions. Accordingly, comprehension of the formative elements of globalization is necessary, in this case technology and consumption stand out, the latter with a cultural connotation, as a result of the emphasis given to merchandise comprising of signs, images and goods that, in general, take on new meaning in the process, like citizenship linked to the consumption rights at the service of capitalism. This dialectic process is apparent in the relationship between the teaching and learning of globalization, aimed at the formative development of the student. Accordingly, interviews with teachers are emphasized, with the purpose of ascertaining how the subject of globalization is articulated in the final year of primary level education, with the intention of making evident the difficulties that these professionals face with regards to the subject, when they are confronted by relevant issues, and to propose suggestions. In turn, the promotion of this subject is the axis for possible suggestions to compose the articulation of globalization as subject matter in the dialectic movement of the dimensions it takes on, with the purpose of favoring the teaching and learning of this complex subject. Furthermore, it is necessary to make the content relevant from the standpoint of the reality experienced by these youths and to contribute to a more conscious manner of thinking and educating the student in the development of citizenship.

Strategier som personer med kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom använder för att hantera vardagen / Strategies that people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease use to cope with everyday life

Persson, Malin, Lindén, Martin January 2018 (has links)
Bakgrund: Antal personer som lider av Kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) ökar både i Sverige och i världen. KOL beskrivs som en kronisk, progressiv sjukdom som orsakar en betydande känsla av ohälsa och leder till lidande. Luftflödeshinder med andnöd till följd är de vanligaste besvären, vilka är individuella och varierar från dag till dag. Sjukdomens besvär varierar i svårighetsgrad mellan olika individer men även förutsättningarna att hantera dem. Därmed finns det i vårdandet ett stort krav på kompetens hos sjuksköterskan. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa olika strategier som personer med KOL använder i hemmiljön för att hantera det dagliga livet. Metod: Allmän litteraturöversikt med kvalitativ design. Resultat: Strategier som används i hemmiljön av personer med KOL belystes i fyra kategorier: Kunskap och känsla av kontroll, anpassning av aktivitetsnivå, stöd och livsstilsförändringar. Slutsats: Vanliga strategier hos personer med KOL för att hantera det dagliga livet var att anpassa sin aktivitetsnivå till sin fysiska kapacitet, fördjupa sin kunskap om sjukdomen samt att se personer i sin omgivning som emotionellt och praktiskt stöd. Livsstilsförändringar kan medföra ökat välbefinnande. Forskning i framtiden behöver fokusera på hur patienters egenvårdsförmåga och autonomi kan stärkas. / Background: The number of people suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is increasing both in Sweden and in the world. COPD is described as a chronic, progressive disease that causes a significant sense of illness and leads to suffering. Restricted airflow with shortness of breath are the most common problems, which are individual and vary from day to day. The disease severity and ways to cope, varies between individuals. The demand is high regarding the competence among nurses in the nursing care. Aim: The aim was to highlight different strategies that people with COPD use at home to manage their day-to-day life. Method: General literature overview with qualitative design. Results: Strategies used in the home environment of people with COPD were presented in four categories: Knowledge and sense of control, adaptation of activity level, support and lifestyle changes. Conclusion: Common strategies for people with COPD to manage daily life were to adjust their activity level to their physical capacity, to expand their knowledge of the disease and to see people in their environment as emotional and practical support. Lifestyle changes can lead to increased well-being. Future research needs to focus on how patients' self-efficacy and autonomy can be strengthened.

Inside and Outside Peace and Prosperity: Post-Conflict Cultural Spaces in Rwanda and Northern Ireland

Arnold, Jobb 02 June 2014 (has links)
In post-conflict settings real and imagined boundaries do a great deal to determine who is inside and who is outside of state-based narratives of peace and prosperity. Based on case studies in Rwanda and Northern Ireland, I provide an analysis of the post-conflict periods and the impact of neoliberal-styled governance on the dynamics of power. I argue that as power shifted, ‘peace’ also entailed a general social pacification, and prosperity equated to greater private profit. However, top-down social engineering has not contained the entire field of social struggle. I examine micro-level interventions taking place on the margins of mainstream discourse that trouble the moralizing state-narratives that seek to legitimate structural violence. Such spaces facilitate alternative values and practices that contribute to sustained social and cultural resilience, as well as forms of resistance. Post-conflict Rwanda and Northern Ireland have been impacted by both coercive and consensual forms of social engineering. In Rwanda, state-based framework laws and forceful regimes of local implementation rely on stark contingencies of reward and punishment to shape and control behaviour in the public sphere. In Northern Ireland, the power-sharing structure of the Belfast Agreement has reinforced ethnic politics, while depoliticizing and instrumentalizing civil society in support of its neoliberal policies. I present ethnographic research and interviews conducted with community organizations in Northern Ireland (Ikon) and Rwanda (Student Association of Genocide Survivors - AERG) that demonstrates how alternative discourses and practices are emerging in the cracks of these top-down systems. I explore Ikon’s use of creative performances and radical theology to create socially resonant cultural spaces that function as temporary autonomous zones. These TAZs unsettle aspects of individual identity while intentionally seeking to destabilize mainstream power dynamics. Unlike Ikon, AERG faces greater public scrutiny and higher political stakes. They demonstrate an adherence to the dominant social script in the public sphere, while exhibiting micro- level agency through trauma healing, and material support in private day-to-day practices. AERG’s performance in the public sphere creates temporary spaces of encounter that exceed the boundaries of official discourse, making their alternative presence felt while remaining illegible to the dominant surveillance frameworks. / Thesis (Ph.D, Cultural Studies) -- Queen's University, 2014-06-02 11:02:09.033
