A educação física e a tomada de consciência da ação motora da criança /

Saladini, Ana Cláudia. January 2006 (has links)
Orientador: Adrian Oscar Dong Montoya / Banca: Ângela Pereira Teixeira Victoria Palma / Banca: Fernando Becker / Banca: Marcelo Carbone Carneiro / Banca: Rosely Palermo Brenelli / Resumo: Adotamos, para esta tarefa, a Epistemologia Genética de Jean Piaget por entendermos que a gênese do conhecimento explica-se na relação solidária entre o sujeito e objeto, partindo de níveis menos elaborados de conhecimento para níveis mais complexos. Ao propormos esta pesquisa qualitativa, com aplicação do método clínico, tivemos como objetivo investigar como as aulas de Educação Física têm se ocupado com a tomada de consciência da ação motora da criança, tendo em vista uma professora que apresenta uma ação pedagógica tradicional e outra, com uma ação pedagógica construtivista. Para identificarmos estes pressupostos epistemológicos na ação docente das duas professoras, aplicamos três instrumentos: uma avaliação situacional, uma entrevista semi estruturada e observação de três aulas de cada uma. Diante das informações encontradas junto às crianças, pudemos organizar três níveis de consciência da ação motora do chute: nível um, nível dois e nível três, sendo o primeiro o mais primitivo e o último o mais elaborado que encontramos. Diante deste estudo concluímos que, antes que o sujeito construa conceitos, há uma consciência própria do corpo e o funcionamento deste não obedece a leis mecânicas. Portanto, na Educação Física Escolar, além de vivenciar as experiências motoras, o aluno deverá compreendê-las para que a construção e compreensão de sua motricidade seja uma realidade. / Abstract: This task was based on Jean Piaget Genetic Epistemology, because we understand that the genesis of knowledge is founded on the cooperative relationship between subject and object, starting at less elaborate levels of knowledge towards to most complex ones. As we proposed this qualitative research, with use for clinic method, we aimed to investigate how Physical Education classes have placed the development of awareness in children motor action. We observed the classes of a teacher who has a traditional pedagogical approach and of another teacher whose approach is constructivist. In order to identify these epistemological assumptions in their teaching actions, we used three instruments: a situational evaluation, a semi-structured questionnaire and the observation of three classes of each. By considering the information gathered from the children, we were able to organize three levels of awareness of their motor action for kicking: phase one, phase two and phase three; being the first the more primitive and the last the more elaborate. Thus, we concluded that, before one constructs their concepts, there is a self-awareness of the body and its functioning doesn't obey to mechanics laws. / Doutor

Understanding first year undergraduate achievement in a post-1992 university science department

Luan, Yun January 2010 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to address the under-researched theme of achievement among students in a post 1992 university in the UK. The findings are based on a case study of a cohort of first year (FY) undergraduates in a science department in a post 1992 university. Three key research approaches were deployed within this case study, namely, grounded theory, phenomenography and survey research. These three distinctive approaches have been framed within a broad interpretivist perspective in which subjectivity is managed through researcher positionality and the triangulation of data where appropriate. The research findings demonstrate that the point of registration at higher education (HE) institutions does not constitute a successful student because such a constitution is a process of becoming, involving complex meaning-making processes over time. These processes are characterised by a movement from 'outsider and potential achiever' to 'insider and reflexive achiever'. Important phases within this movement are those of: attending; being engaged and solving self-identified difficulties. In the light of the evidence gathered and the review of the existing scholarship, a detailed exploration and theorisation of these phases is offered. The preoccupation with students who fail in some way has led to a lack of research into those who succeed. This research has sought to overcome this lack by exploring the active meaning-making processes that lead undergraduates to achieve. A dynamic is identified between students' reflexive management of their FY experience and aspirations to achieve and the institutional context. This dynamic is also held to undermine the notion of students as customers awaiting satisfaction, suggesting instead that students be regarded as reflexive actors in the shaping of undergraduate achievement. This study presents a novel alternative to the prevalent deficit model in the relevant research which tends to treat students as passive bearers of diverse levels of readiness for undergraduate study. It also offers an alternative to the prevailing research on why students fail to progress or stay at university.

A contradição/conflito entre formação cultural e indústria cultural em Theodor W Adorno / The contradiction/conflict between cultural formation and cultural industry in Theodor W Adorno

Schulz, Paulo Ricardo 05 August 2011 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2017-07-10T18:26:27Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Paulo Ricardo Schulz.pdf: 806529 bytes, checksum: af519be55ff872c5c8564cd2698da025 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-08-05 / The paper seeks to analyze the contradiction/conflict that emerges between the cultural formation and the cultural industry, considering as a start TW Adorno thoughts, and it points to education as the one which can contribute to the autonomy of the individual conscience who lives inside the capitalist society, land where flourishes the conflict between the cultural formation and the cultural industry. It's inquired to describe the cultural formation as result of dialectic development of human civilization. It's shown that the period of mythic human thought already had some rationality, since this period, when giving names to the unknown and formulating explanatory stories to natural phenomenons already sought to control the line of nature. The period of logical and rational thought arises, therefore, on one side, as mythical thought overcoming, because the technique, which is the essence of this knowledge, takes refuge with the Mathematics, formulas, rule and probability to destitute all and every evidence of myth. This rational and technical moment also preserves in itself, however, something of mythological, cause it starts to enrapture the number, the formulas and the rule, mental creations which are the substitutes of the concepts that guided the mythical period. Men when expressing their subjectivity and with the desire of dominating the nature, created the divinities as in mythical period as in rational period and, in both of them, the periods turned to adore the work of their own hands. The reason that is described as the agent of cultural formation, acts dialectically in two levels: Virstand/subjective and Vernunft/objective, however, due to the reason instrumentation, this dialectic hasn't maintained itself, and this was one of the factors that has hindered the cultural formation and consequently the subject majority and autonomy. The support of mythological character in a time considered completely enlightened can be evidenced by cultural industry. It´s through it where everything gets to be submitted to market fetishism and its demands. This industry is analyzed like the union of radio, television, cinema and ideology. It pursues to standardize everything around itself, aiming to turn everything into merchant, even people´s will and the education. The leisure and recreation are also manipulated and became mere entertainment which obliterated the imagination and reason. The cultural and education reduction to a semi culture (H albbi ldung ) lent to the cultural industry a cultural formation appearance, but that, in fact, is only a so-called formation. The education, inside this quarrelsome context, however, can collaborate significantly to the awareness and emancipation insofar it reestablishes a proper dialectic between subjective and objective reason. A centric challenge is, therefore, to evince the artifices,veils, torches and magics that, in an absolute light age, daily obstruct the critical and autonomous individuals formation . This way, even when not requiring the overcoming of current society to inside its limits, the education can be designed as a space of resistance, a refuge of freedom , able to contribute to subjects formation who can really make choices, think and act in a free way. / O trabalho busca analisar a contradição/conflito que surge entre a formação cultural e a indústria cultural a partir do pensamento de T W Adorno e aponta a educação como aquela que pode contribuir para a autonomia da consciência do sujeito que vive na sociedade capitalista, solo no qual floresce o conflito entre a formação cultural e a indústria cultural. Busca-se descrever a formação cultural como resultado de um desenvolvimento dialético da civilização humana. Mostra-se que o período do pensamento mítico da humanidade já continha certa racionalidade, pois esse período, ao dar nomes ao desconhecido e formular histórias explicativas para os fenômenos naturais, já buscava controlar o curso da natureza. O período do pensamento lógico e racional surge, portanto, por um lado, como superação do pensamento mítico, porque a técnica, que é a essência desse saber, se vale da matemática, das fórmulas, da regra e da probabilidade para destituir todo e qualquer vestígio de mito. Esse momento racional e técnico também mantém, no entanto, em si algo de mitológico, porque passa a endeusar o número, as fórmulas e a regra, criações mentais que são os substitutos dos conceitos que regiam o período mítico. Os homens, ao expressarem sua subjetividade e no afã de dominar a natureza, criaram os deuses tanto do período mítico quanto do período racional e, em ambos os períodos, passaram a adorar a obra de suas próprias mãos. A razão, que é descrita como o agente da formação cultural, trabalha dialeticamente em dois níveis: Verstand/subjetiva e Vernunft/objetiva, no entanto, devido à instrumentalização da razão, essa dialética não se manteve, e esse foi um dos fatores que impediram a formação cultural e, consequentemente, a maioridade e a autonomia do sujeito. A manutenção do caráter mitológico em uma época que se considera plenamente esclarecida pode ser evidenciada pela indústria cultural. É através dela que tudo passa a ser submetido ao fetichismo do mercado e às suas exigências. Essa indústria é analisada como a união entre rádio, televisão, cinema e ideologia. Ela busca padronizar tudo à sua volta, a fim de transformar tudo em mercadorias, inclusive a vontade das pessoas e a educação. O lazer e a diversão também são instrumentalizados e se transformaram em meros entretenimentos que obliteram a imaginação e a razão. A redução da cultura e da educação a uma semicultura (Halbbildung) emprestou à indústria cultural uma aparência de formação cultural, mas que, na verdade, é apenas uma pseudoformação. A educação, dentro desse contexto conflituoso, no entanto, pode colaborar de modo significativo para a conscientização e a emancipação, isso na medida em que restabelece uma dialética adequada entre razão subjetiva e objetiva. Um desafio central é, pois, evidenciar as artimanhas, os véus, as teias e as magias que, em plena época das luzes, diariamente obstaculizam a formação de sujeitos autônomos e críticos. Assim, embora não requerendo a superação da sociedade atual para dentro de seus limites, a educação pode ser concebida como um espaço de resistência, um refúgio da liberdade , capaz de contribuir para a formação de sujeitos que possam de fato fazer escolhas, pensar e agir de forma livre.
