This work presents the results of a research it had as objective to investigate the National Curricular Parameters - Mathematics PCN of the last two cycles of Primary Education in the period from 1996-2008, as regards the process of preparing and performed courses, for the dissemination of PCN in Sergipe it s offered by members of the technical team of the State Department of Education Sport and Leisure of Sergipe - SEED. Firstly were performed readings about curriculum from authors such as Sacristan (1998), Goodson (1995), Veiga Neto (2002) and Silva (2009), to understand the extent which the PCN can or cannot be categorized in relation to theories of curriculum. And from these analyses sources collected were taken as reference D Ambrosio (1989) and Mendes (2009) and for methodology trends, Valente (2007) for sources treatments. Semistructured interviews were also realized, especially made with Ruy Cesar Pietropaolo, one of the participants in the process of elaboration about initial and final version about PCN Mathematics. Even sources were taken as the opinions on the preliminary version of the PCN, the curriculum developed by Sergipian, planning teaching, ministering record, evaluation form and certificate courses about PCN, belonging to the archival Center Personal Qualification Prof. Antonio Garcia Filho. From these sources collected and examined, It‟s possible to include Sergipe in the map of the states with produced opinions on the preliminary version of the PCN, and declare that as it happened in other states, in Sergipe there was a Mathematics Curriculum Proposal dated 1995 with similar themes inserted in the PCN, as example: The problem solving and mathematical games. It was found that during almost a decade there was training courses with involved these and other issues that have gained force prescriptive orientation from the publication of the parameters. Finally, it was found during the stage of dissemination of topics related to PCN, there was a process of adaptation from the understanding that trainers have had in relation to: for example, the organization of content about the use of resources and methodologies. And probably because of that, the game was one of the most prominent thematic featured in the courses. / Neste trabalho e apresentado o resultado de uma pesquisa que teve por objetivo investigar sobre os Parametros Curriculares Nacionais . PCN de Matematica, dos dois ultimos ciclos do Ensino Fundamental, no periodo de 1996 a 2008, no que diz respeito ao processo de elaboracao e aos cursos realizados, para a divulgacao dos PCN em Sergipe e ofertados por membros da equipe tecnica da Secretaria de Estado da Educacao do Desporto e Lazer de Sergipe - SEED. Inicialmente foram efetuadas leituras sobre curriculo, a partir de autores como Sacristan (1998), Goodson (1995), Veiga Neto (2002) e Silva (2009), para compreender em que medida os PCN podem ou nao ser categorizados em relacao as teorias de e sobre curriculo. E para exame das fontes coletadas foram tomados como referentes D.Ambrosio (1989) e Mendes (2009) para as tendencias metodologicas e Valente (2007) para o tratamento das fontes. Tambem foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, com destaque para a efetuada com Ruy Cesar Pietropaolo, um dos participes do processo de elaboracao da versao inicial e final dos PCN de Matematica. Ainda foram tomados como fontes os pareceres sobre a versao preliminar dos PCN, a proposta curricular elaborada por sergipanos, planejamentos didaticos, ficha de ministrantes, ficha de avaliacao e certificados de cursos sobre os PCN pertencentes ao acervo do arquivo do Centro de Qualificacao Pessoal ¡°Prof.¨¬ Antonio Garcia Filho¡±. A partir dessas fontes coletadas e examinadas e possivel incluir Sergipe no mapa dos estados que produziram pareceres sobre a versao preliminar dos PCN, e afirmar que assim como aconteceu em outros estados, em Sergipe houve uma Proposta Curricular de Matematica datada de 1995 com tematicas semelhantes as postas nos PCN, a exemplo: da resolucao de problema matematico e dos jogos. Foi constatado ainda que durante quase uma decada houve cursos de formacao, envolvendo essas e outras tematicas que ganharam forca de orientacao prescritiva a partir da publicacao dos Parametros. Por fim, constatou-se que durante a etapa de divulgacao de tematicas vinculadas aos PCN, ocorreu um processo de adaptacao a partir dos entendimentos que os formadores ja possuiam em relacao a por exemplo, a organizacao dos conteudos, ao uso de recursos e as metodologias. E provavelmente, por conta disso, o jogo foi uma das tematicas mais destacada nos cursos.

The<br />intention is to affirm innovative, creative and advanced mathematical thinking, high quality, structured and<br />functional knowledge, which in this study refers tospecific areas of mathematical analysis. A well thought<br />project was designed and constructed in such a way&nbsp; to integrate within the teaching process, and its<br />implementation has enabled the establishment of interdisciplinary correlation and the study of functions and<br />their use in scientific problems through the process of mathematical modelling. Special attention is paid to the<br />realization of cognitive activities of pupils in each stage of the process of mathematical modelling, and acheiving<br />their vertically-cumulative order. As a separate activity focused on the goals and needs of selected processes of<br />mathematical modeling, harmonized with teaching content being studied, a new methodical approach was<br />introduced and applied to treat functions given by&nbsp; a definite integral, with special emphasis on treatment of<br />logarithmic function given by a definite integral,&nbsp; and followed by treatment of the exponential function as the<br />inverse logarithmic. A part of the research is focused on the introduction and implementation of new methodical<br />concept in treatment of functions given by a definite integral and on university level of studying mathematical<br />analysis. Efficiency of these new and modern methodical approaches was tested on pupils and students,&nbsp; with<br />planned and systematic usage of computers and appropriate software, and processed by comparative analysis of<br />results obtained by pedagogical experiments. Results have shown positive impact of proposed methodical<br />approaches to the quality of pupils&rsquo; and students&rsquo;&nbsp; mathematical knowledge, and the achievement of optimal<br />results in learning and studying of teaching content on mathematical functions.</p>

This investigation was designed to determine if teaching vocabulary through integrating English and Social Studies curricula would provide tenth grade students who are poor readers with strategies to improve their reading comprehension. The strategies used were designed to support struggling readers and English language development students to connect denotative and connotative meanings of words found in the novel Animal Farm to their social studies class' content.

The dynamics of the social interaction within the cooperative learning group are accepted and considered to be one of the aspects that will influence the individual learner's feelings regarding the group activity. The impact of the groupings on the quality and quantity of the observable learning within the class is considered. For this study the cooperative learning groupings were manipulated, considering aspects of the learner's social relationships uncovered with the use of a social questionnaire, which the learners completed. These details were summarised by means of a sociometric table and a sociogram. This study approaches the topic from two main perspectives. Primarily observation and naive sketches, from the learners, formed the source of the data and provided the initial perspective on the area of study. From the viewpoint provided in this information specific grouping paramaters were applied to later groups of learners, and a survey conducted. / Educational Studies / M. Ed (Socio-Education)
