nÃo hà / A pesquisa discute argumentos sobre o conhecimento de si na DeduÃÃo Transcendental da CrÃtica da RazÃo Pura, utilizando como estratÃgia de anÃlise e estudo da obra o seu cotejamento com um manuscrito kantiano encontrado e publicado apenas no final do sÃculo XX. Utiliza tambÃm para aprofundamento das teses os comentadores que notadamente realizaram discussÃes sobre a temÃtica. Os argumentos defendem a importÃncia do sentido interno para compreensÃo do argumento principal e para caracterizaÃÃo de suas especificidades, o que o torna esse Ãltimo tema adjunto ao problema. O tempo, que à a forma desse sentido interno, foi estudado como aparecimento do sujeito na sensibilidade e, portanto, à fator crucial na compreensÃo da subjetividade kantiana. O trabalho de pesquisa foi estruturado em torno de algumas distinÃÃes importantes para compreensÃo do tema em anÃlise, sÃo elas: entre sentido interno e sentido externo, e apercepÃÃo e sentido interno. Ao longo da produÃÃo dos argumentos, ressaltou-se o carÃter sistÃmico do pensamento kantiano, o que implica em maior complexidade na definiÃÃo de seus elementos, visto os mesmos estarem bastante definidos em relaÃÃo aos demais. Do trabalho se conclui a especificidade do conhecimento de si, compreendido como distinto do conhecimento em sentido strictu por nÃo conter os qualificativos de um conhecimento propriamente objetivo. Das conclusÃes tambÃm emergiram a corporeidade do sujeito empÃrico como modo de apreensÃo de si mesmo, revelando a relaÃÃo sentido interno e externo, alÃm da autoafecÃÃo como conceito importante na compreensÃo da distinÃÃo do sentido interno da apercepÃÃo transcendental. / This research discusses arguments about self-knowledge in the work Transcendental Deduction of the Critique of Pure Reason using as a strategy of analysis and study of the work the comparison of it with a Kantian manuscript found and published only at the end of the 20th century. It also uses, in order to deepen the theses, the commentators who notably held discussions on the subject. The research defends the importance of inner sense to understand the main argument and to characterize its specificities. Inner sense is a secondary theme, but very attached to the main problem. Time, which is the form of this inner sense, has been studied as the appearance of the subject in the sensibility and, therefore, crucial factor in the understanding of the Kantian subjectivity. This research was structured around some important distinctions to understand the theme under analysis, they are: between internal sense and external sense, and apperception and inner sense. Throughout the production of the arguments the systemic character of the Kantian thought was emphasized, which implies in a greater complexity in the definition of its elements since they are defined in relation to the others. The research concludes the specificity of the self-knowledge that is distinct from the knowledge in a strict sense, because it does not contain the qualifiers of a properly objective knowledge. From the conclusions also emerged the importance of the embodiment of the empirical subject as a way of apprehending oneself, expressing the relation between internal and external sense; as well as the self-affection as an important concept to understand the distinction of the inner sense from the transcendental apperception.

Culture is at the core of language teaching. Because classrooms are contact zones (Pratt 1991), teachers must have a well-developed sense of their own intercultural competence so that they may better facilitate the cross-cultural discovery inherent in language teaching. Teacher preparation programs need to provide opportunities for new teachers to increase their intercultural awareness. The purpose of this research was to qualitatively understand the experiences of pre-service teachers in a required culture-learning class at a large urban university. Specifically, the focus of this study was the completion of a mini-ethnography project designed to give the students a cross-cultural exchange. Since such contact zones can be the site of reflexivity and transformation, this study sought to understand the contexts in which reflexivity and transformation might occur, as well as how these changes might influence a person's intercultural competence. This research used student writing as a primary source for illustrating change. Writing samples from all course assignments were collected from the class. Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) Profiles were collected from three individuals who also agreed to extensive interviews. This data was used to create case study portraits of the class as well as the three individuals, illustrating a variety of experiences with the ethnography project. Change in intercultural competence was measured according to the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (Bennett 1993) and the IDI. Each person had a markedly different experience with the project, and each person experienced some kind of intercultural change. Overall, the results suggest that ethnography is a useful classroom tool. When used at an appropriate stage of a student's intercultural development, reflexivity and perspective transformation can occur, thus leading to intercultural competence.

This study analyzes and reports on the characteristics of writing-triggered peak experience and other positive human experiences and explores some possible factors that can bring about such moments. Three basic questions were explored: Can writing trigger peak experience and other positive human experiences? How are writing-triggered peak experience and other positive human experiences best described? What factors influence the occurrence of writing-triggered peak experience and other positive human experiences? Participants were asked to write about their happiest moment in writing. The sample consisted of 270 students enrolled in undergraduate writing classes at a major southwestern university. Of 270 participants, 119(44%) reported having had at least one peak experience or similar positive human experience as a result of writing. Protocols reporting peak experience and other positive human experiences in writing were analyzed for content, yielding a total of 14 descriptive attributes. The participants described their writing experiences as flow of the words, the process of writing is its own reward, peak performance, clarity, disappearance of negative states of mind, and enhanced sense of power and personal worth. Content analysis also yielded 13 possible triggers of peak experience and other positive human experiences including self-expression, realization, free writing, use of writing for introspection, and creative and inspirational writing. In addition, personal orientation was explored as a possible trigger of peak experience and other positive human experiences using a 16-item questionnaire. Factor analysis results yielded four factors: (1) aesthetic creative expressive writing, (2) writing as a thinking and problem solving tool (3) self-discovery, and (4) not interested in writing. Factor one accounted for the highest variance (37%). The common elements in this factor were expressive writing, self-related writing and creative poetic writing with poetic and creative writing having the highest loading.

Proclus is part of a long exegetical tradition that understands Plato and Homer to be in agreement. The Sixth Essay of his Commentary on Plato’s Republic particularly significant because it is the only extant ancient text that attempts to prove the concord of Plato and Homer philosophically. Yet, despite his uniquely reasoned approach, this endeavour suffers from charges of irrationalism. The necessity that drives him to seek this conciliation is thought to come from the pious attachment he has to Homer as an authority rather than the properly philosophical demands of his rational system. The aim of this thesis is to show that Proclus’ need to show Plato and Homer’s agreement is not an irrational adjunct to an otherwise rational outlook, but that it follows from the central doctrines of his philosophy. This will be accomplished through a detailed consideration of Proclus’ doctrine of the poetic ????????. In looking at how Proclus’ reading of Plato in the Sixth Essay is informed by his understanding of ????????, we will see how Homer becomes the means, both of taking the traditional criticisms of Plato’s apparent self-contradiction seriously and also of defending him against them. In looking in turn at how the soul actually experiences the ??????? of Homer’s inspired poetry, it shall become apparent that Homer does not just save the coherence of rational thought in this exterior way, but that his poetry operates as both the possibility and perfection of the rational soul’s various powers.

Personal informatics systems help people collect and reflect on behavioral information to better understand their own behavior. Because most systems only show one type of behavioral information, finding factors that affect one’s behavior is difficult. Supporting exploration of multiple types of contextual and behavioral information in a single interface may help. To explore this, I developed prototypes of IMPACT, which supports reflection on physical activity and multiple types of contextual information. I conducted field studies of the prototypes, which showed that such a system could increase people’s awareness of opportunities for physical activity. However, several limitations affected the usage and value of these prototypes. To improve support for such systems, I conducted a series of interviews and field studies. First, I interviewed people about their experiences using personal informatics systems resulting in the Stage-Based Model of Personal Informatics Systems, which describes the different stages that systems need to support, and a list of problems that people experience in each of the stages. Second, I identified the kinds of questions people ask about their personal data and found that the importance of these questions differed between two phases: Discovery and Maintenance. Third, I evaluated different visualization features to improve support for reflection on multiple kinds of data. Finally, based on this evaluation, I developed a system called Innertube to help people reflect on multiple kinds of data in a single interface using a visualization integration approach that makes it easier to build such tools compared to the more common data integration approach.

Desde a Modernidade, a Educação vem pautando suas práticas no racionalismo exacerbado, excluindo da vida do aluno a sensibilidade e a emoção. Os resultados deste culto à divisão mente/corpo se fazem presentes hoje na sociedade através do sentimento de incompletude e de busca do ser humano, da crescente violência e indiferença da sociedade, e da desvalorização das questões referentes à ética e à espiritualidade. Como uma tentativa de resgate da completude do Ser, e do alcance da conseqüente cura da sociedade, surge um novo paradigma, o qual busca a reintegração mente-corpo através da abordagem multidimensional do homem e da educação integral. Este trabalho de pesquisa enfoca o Projeto de Potencialização e Enriquecimento – PROPEN – do Colégio Militar de Porto Alegre, o qual é direcionado a alunos que apresentam indicadores de altas habilidades e que, através das contribuições desta nova proposta educacional, a abordagem holística, ampliou seu fazer pedagógico de modo a contemplar não apenas o lado racional do aluno, mas sim o seu Ser integral – seus aspectos mental, físico, emocional e espiritual. Tomando como base do trabalho as Ferramentas para Pensar de Edward de Bono e o legado filosófico que Espinosa nos deixou em sua Ética, esta investigação busca analisar algumas atividades propostas por este projeto aos seus alunos, a fim de esclarecer seus reflexos, seu alcance e sua validade. Como instrumentos de pesquisa foram utilizadas bioeletrografias registradas antes e depois das atividades propostas, as quais são analisadas sob a luz da Semiótica, e a análise de questionários respondidos pelos alunos e por seus pais. Os achados desta pesquisa apontam que a educação pelo sensível e pelo autoconhecimento, através de práticas que buscam a integração mente-corpo, configura-se em uma contribuição positiva para a formação do indivíduo como um todo, ampliando sua perspectiva em relação a si mesmo e aos seus semelhantes. / Since Modernity, Education has been developing its practice based on exaggerated rationalism, excluding sensitivity and emotion from students’ life. The results of this cult of mind/body division can be seen today through man’s feeling of incompleteness and search, through increasing violence and indifference in society and through the devaluation of questions concerning ethics and spirituality. As an attempt to rescue the completeness of the Being, and the consequent cure for society, a new paradigm rises, one which searches for mind-body integration through the multidimensional approach of man and integral education. This research focus on Projeto de Potencialização e Enriquecimento (Enrichment and Potential Development Project) – PROPEN – held by Colégio Militar de Porto Alegre ( Porto Alegre Military School), which is directed to students who present traits indicative of talent potential, and which has broadened its pedagogical practice, through the contributions of holistic approach in order to encompass not only the rational side of students but also their whole Being – their mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects. Taking as basis for work development the Thinking Tools created by Edward de Bono and the legacy that Spinoza left us in his Ethics, this investigation aims at analyzing some activities proposed by this Project to its participants, in order to throw light on its reflections, reach and validity. Kirlian photographies taken before and after the activities proposed, which are analyzed in the light of Semiotics, and the analysis of questionnaires answered by the students and by their parents were used as research instruments. The findings of this research suggest that the education that searches for the development of sensitivity and self-knowledge, by means of practices that aim at mind-body integration, contributes positively to the growth of the person as a whole, broadening their perspective in relation to themselves and to others alike.

Tomando como referência a etnopesquisa crítica, a metodologia qualitativa serviu-se da entrevista individual como instrumento de uma instância específica, ao mesmo tempo compreendendo-a inserida numa totalidade. O roteiro de entrevista semi-aberta foi valorizado pela diversidade e profundidade dos depoimentos de dez professoras, de duas escolas, que permitiram o registro de suas lembranças, reflexões, crenças, incertezas e sínteses. Não houve caráter valorativo ou comparativo nas possibilidades de respostas, nem intenção de julgar, avaliar, ou orientar a prática específica das entrevistadas. A confrontação das experiências vividas pelas professoras com o referencial teórico articulado pelo autor intentou desvelar as possíveis linguagens (explícitas ou não) contidas nas falas das entrevistadas, assumidamente, a partir da ótica e da interpretação do pesquisador. A análise dos dados buscou compreender a percepção do professor sobre as possíveis relações entre atividade lúdica, trabalho, cidadania, direitos humanos, preconceito, autoconhecimento e papel do educador; foi uma investigação a partir das brincadeiras na própria história do educador. Numa pesquisa qualitativa, verificou-se como a ludicidadania pode ser um recurso suporte para viabilizar uma prática educativa singular e plural, que permita a cada indivíduo, ou grupo, assumir ou ressignificar sua identidade singular e, ao mesmo tempo, reconhecer as possibilidades de convivência solidária entre as diferenças existentes na pluralidade ? tendo como pano de fundo a essencialidade do espaço/tempo para expressão da autoridade interna de cada ser. Foram quatro as principais considerações que brotaram como produtos temporários desta pesquisa brincante: 1) O principal eixo condutor da prática educativa está ancorado na visão de mundo predominante no educador - muito mais que as técnicas e instrumentos utilizados durante sua formação acadêmica; 2) A ludicidadania pode ser um recurso adequado para colaborar na explicitação dessa visão de mundo predominante no indivíduo; 3) A ludicidadania constitui uma forma integrada de educar ludicamente, o que implica autoconhecimento e aprendizagem vivenciada, cotidianamente, de direitos humanos e cidadania; 4) Identificando o grau de percepção de ludicidadania na história de vida do educador, é possível destacar os aspectos mais favoráveis e as lacunas a serem convividas. A dissimulação do preconceito racial contra os negros emergiu como elemento indispensável para ser considerado no processo educacional brasileiro. Propondo a superação da visão que o lúdico se opõe ao trabalho, os resultados encontrados englobam limites e potencialidades das práticas lúdicas na educação, onde professor e estudante podem aprender a se autoconhecer e a conviver consigo, com o outro e com a natureza. / Salvador

In this context, students are stimulated to come in contact with the bases of learning to know, to make, to live together and to be for the promotion of integral education. We give priority to holistic conception of educating based in Emergent Paradigm. In this conception, student in initial formation is led to get back the view of integral being, life and love as education basis. We had as starting point, the essential dimensions to the learning geared toward the embodiment integration, autopoiesis and trans-disciplinarity. This work presents tracks for the teacher formation of Physical Education. It deals with the unfolding of teaching experiences in 2006, in Graduation Course in Physical Education of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, in subject of Corporal Conscience, offered to undergraduate students which can be characterized as an action-research. This process was chosen as knowledge and intervention method because it allowed knowing and acting at the same time, studying the conditions and results of accomplished experience. In shared meetings with reflected experiences, we appeal to the experiences of situations that had mobilized the corporal, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions of participants. The data collected through observations, accounts, questionnaires and interviews of learning processes had been starting points for the beginning of dialogue along with students of Graduation Course in Physical Education. The findings had been interpreted through of hermeneutics and discourse analysis. In this research, participants are considered as protagonist and boosters of educative process. The theoretical basis was supported by Transpersonal Education which contributed for a peace culture and respectful relationship. In its initial formation process, this research protagonists had evidenced of the importance of transpersonal education, geared toward action and changing, new ways of being and living together, facing the daily conflicts from a human and rational perspective. The research emphasized the importance of a new look on the teacher formation of Physical Education to face the limits of fragmented formation. Thus, we recognize that through the teacher education process, the transpersonal education provided wide significant changes reported during research, extending and re-meaning different learning levels such as: cognitive, emotional, attitudinal, and behavioral geared toward the personal and transpersonal development, reiterating the relevance of self-knowledge for development and establishment of pedagogical practice which prioritizes the life direction. The necessity of integrating knowledge to being in the initial process of teaching formation was emphasized in all the transpersonal meetings / A tese trata da import?ncia do autoconhecimento e as pr?ticas corporais e a contribui??o da Educa??o Transpessoal para o processo de forma??o inicial dos alunos de Educa??o F?sica. Nesse contexto os alunos s?o incentivados a entrar em contato com os fundamentos de aprender a conhecer, a fazer, a conviver e a ser para a promo??o da educa??o integral. Priorizamos a concep??o hol?stica de educar baseada no Paradigma Emergente. Nessa concep??o os alunos em forma??o inicial s?o conduzidos a resgatar a vis?o do ser integral, a vida e o amor como fundamento da educa??o. Tivemos como fio condutor, as dimens?es constitutivas para o aprender voltadas para a integra??o da corporeidade, da autopoiesis e da transdisciplinaridade. Este trabalho apresenta pistas para a forma??o do professor de Educa??o F?sica. Trata do desdobramento de viv?ncias docentes experienciadas em 2006, no Curso de Gradua??o em Educa??o F?sica da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, na disciplina de Consci?ncia Corporal, oferecida aos alunos em forma??o. Podendo ser caracterizada como uma pesquisa a??o. A pesquisa-a??o foi escolhida como m?todo de conhecimento e interven??o porque permitiu ao mesmo tempo conhecer e atuar, estudando as condi??es e os resultados da experi?ncia efetuada. Nos encontros compartilhados com experi?ncias refletidas, recorremos ?s viv?ncias de situa??es que mobilizaram as dimens?es corporais, emocionais, mentais e espirituais dos participantes. Os dados coletados por meio de observa??o, registros, question?rios e entrevistas dos processos de aprender foram pontos de partida para o in?cio do di?logo junto aos alunos em forma??o do Curso de Gradua??o em Educa??o F?sica. Os dados encontrados foram interpretados por meio da hermen?utica e an?lise do discurso. Os participantes s?o considerados nessa pesquisa como protagonistas e impulsionadores do processo educativo.O referencial te?rico, foi ancorado pela Educa??o Transpessoal, educa??o que contribuiu para uma cultura de paz e de conviv?ncia respeitosa. Os protagonistas da pesquisa no seu processo de forma??o inicial constataram a import?ncia da educa??o transpessoal, voltada para a a??o e mudan?a, para novas maneiras de ser e de viver, encarando os conflitos do cotidiano numa perspectiva humana e racional. A pesquisa ressaltou a import?ncia de um novo olhar sobre a forma??o do Professor de Educa??o F?sica para enfrentar os limites da forma??o fragmentada. Reconhecemos, assim, que atrav?s do processo de forma??o de professores, a educa??o transpessoal proporcionou amplas mudan?as significativas relatadas durante a pesquisa, ampliando e re-significando diferentes n?veis de aprendizagem: cognitivo, emocional, atitudinal, e comportamental voltados para o desenvolvimento pessoal e transpessoal, reiterando a relev?ncia do autoconhecimento para o desenvolvimento e estabelecimento de uma pr?tica pedag?gica que priorize o sentido da vida. Foi destacado em todos os encontros transpessoais a necessidade da integra??o do saber ao ser no processo inicial de forma??o docente

We present the care of the self in its birth, in its origin, from the character Socrates and its development until the beginning of the Christian age. With a keen eye, we present Foucault with a work of return and rescue of the care of the self to the personal and academic discussions; we propose, from the self care, to the contemporary subject a problematization of their life so that from this questioning he creates for herself ways of life that are coherence, knowledge and care with which he has of must particular, his himself. Passing by the sources that served as the source of study for Foucault to sketch the birth of care of the self, we design the form with which Foucault has dealt with the documents that speak of the care of self. We present Socrates as one who by excellence ensures that the other will give birth to the forms of knowledge and care of the self or, in other words, we present the care of the self socratic-foucauldian as a constant worry of the other to pay attention to ways in which he conducts her life, it creates for themselves ways of being and, therefore, creates ethics of existence. We present, finally, the care of the self as the cause of continuous immanence of modes of subjectivation of the subject that configure themselves in a non-accepting a determined essence, but a continually updated form . The care of the self leads to a single relationship and educator of modes of subjectivation of the subject; he creates, on the dynamics of temporality, ethical ways of living, which are sustained by an internal coherence of the subject with herself; he admits no stationary nature in the training of the subject, always wants a more beautiful work of himself; he is not isolation, he needs and is made with the other. The care of the self is the principle and the telos of battles and conquests of the subject within his temporality and existence / O trabalho, aqui desenvolvido, tem por objetivo apresentar o objeto de estudo de Michel Foucault em seus ?ltimos anos de ensino no Coll?ge de France, a saber, o cuidado de si. Apresentamos o cuidado de si em seu nascer, em sua origem, a partir do personagem S?crates e seu desenvolvimento at? o in?cio da era crist?. Com um olhar atento, apresentamos com Foucault um trabalho de retorno e resgate do cuidado de si ?s discuss?es pessoais e acad?micas; propomos, a partir do cuidado de si, ao sujeito contempor?neo uma problematiza??o de sua vida para que desta problematiza??o ele crie para si mesmo modos de vida que sejam coer?ncia, conhecimento e cuidado com o que ele tem de mais particular, seu si mesmo. Passando pelas fontes que serviram de fonte de estudo para Foucault esbo?ar o nascimento do cuidado de si, vamos desenhando a forma com a qual Foucault tratou os documentos que falam do cuidado de si. Apresentamos S?crates como aquele que por excel?ncia faz com que os outros d?em ? luz a formas de conhecimento e cuidado pr?prios ou, em outras palavras, apresentamos o cuidado de si socr?tico-foucaultiano como um constante inquietar o outro a prestar aten??o aos modos como ele conduz sua vida, cria para si modos de ser e, consequentemente, cria ?ticas de exist?ncia. Apresentamos, enfim, o cuidado de si como causa de cont?nua iman?ncia de modos de subjetiva??o do sujeito que se configuram em um n?o aceitar uma ess?ncia determinada, mas uma forma continuamente atualizada. O cuidado de si conduz a uma rela??o ?nica e formadora de modos de subjetiva??o do sujeito; ele cria, na din?mica da temporalidade, formas ?ticas de viver que se sustentam por uma coer?ncia interna do sujeito com ele mesmo; ele n?o admite estaticidade na forma??o do sujeito, deseja sempre uma obra de si mais bela; ele n?o ? isolamento, necessita e se faz com o outro. O cuidado de si ? o princ?pio e o telos das batalhas e conquistas do sujeito dentro de sua temporalidade e exist?ncia

The main aim of the thesis is to answer the question whether rock climbing, as a sport leisure time activity, can offer values substantial for life. The fundamental chapter, which is focused on rock climbing values, consists of two parts. The first theoretical part presents a few examples of values that are important for rock climbing. The practical part is based on a survey carried out among rock climbers. Both parts come to the conclusion that rock climbing is inspiring for rock-climbers as well as non-climbers. However, it is the courage to take responsibility for life that is essential for it to be fully-fledged, and only for such a person is rock climbing an inspiring activity.
