O ensino de álgebra nos três últimos anos do Ensino Fundamental tem se reduzido a um momento destinado ao treino e à fixação de regras e procedimentos algébricos. Ao que parece, os livros didáticos corroboram com essa visão do ensino de álgebra. Por outro lado, sabemos que no livro didático estão presentes algumas intenções didáticas legitimadas, de certa forma, por todos aqueles que participam do processo de ensino. Ao professor, que muitas vezes só possui o livro didático como material para preparar as suas aulas, cabe transformá-lo no saber que será ensinado na sala de aula. A álgebra é uma ciência ensinada predominantemente na escola e é relevante para capacitar os sujeitos a compreender o desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico atual. Por isso, parece-nos que o ensino de álgebra nos 7º, 8º e 9º anos do Ensino Fundamental deveria contribuir para a construção de um pensamento algébrico, superando as práticas rotinizadas. Assim, o objetivo do nosso trabalho é analisar de que modo os livros didáticos desse nível de ensino permitem a construção do pensamento algébrico. Ou seja, investigar o percurso de didatização da álgebra no Ensino Fundamental ou, mais propriamente, nos livros didáticos. Para essa análise utilizamos a Teoria da Transposição Didática e a Teoria Antropológica do Didático, propostas por Yves Chevallard. Essas teorias propiciaram uma análise mais aprofundada sobre os materiais e também demonstram ser uma ferramenta consistente para auxiliar o professor na sua prática pedagógica. Analisamos três materiais pedagógicos: dois livros didáticos, que vieram da lista de livros aprovados no PNLD-2011 e o Caderno elaborado pelo governo do Estado de São Paulo proveniente da proposta São Paulo Faz Escola. Com essas análises conseguimos perceber que a programabilidade do saber legitimada pela noosfera impossibilita muitas inovações na didatização referente ao ensino de álgebra, e que alguns livros ainda mantêm o ensino de álgebra voltado para o treino de procedimentos e resoluções. Por outro lado, também conseguimos encontrar outros percursos de didatização nos quais está presente um ensino voltado para o desenvolvimento do pensamento algébrico. / The teaching of algebra in the last three years of elementary school has been reduced to a point aimed at training and to set rules and algebraic procedures. Apparently, textbooks corroborate this view of teaching algebra. On the other hand, we know that in the textbook are didactic intentionalities, in a way, to all who participate in the teaching process. In the teacher, who often only have the textbook and material to prepare their lessons, will lie the responsability to turn it in the knowledgment which will be taught in the classroom. Algebra is a science predominantly taught in the school and it is relevant to enable the students to understand the current technological and scientific development. Therefore, it seems that the teaching of algebra in 7th, 8th and 9th grades of elementary school should contribute to the construction of an algebraic thinking, overcoming the routinized practices. The objective of our work is to analyze how that grade level books allow the construction of algebraic thinking. In other words, to investigate the route of didactization algebra in elementary school or, more properly, in textbooks. For this analysis, we will use the theories of Didactic Transposition and Anthropological Theory of Didactic proposed by Yves Chevallard. These theories provided a deeper analysis of the materials and also prove to be a consistent tool to assist teachers in their teaching. We analyze three teaching materials: two textbooks, which came from the list of approved books in PNLD-2011 and the Booklet prepared by the state government of São Paulo from the proposed São Paulo Faz Escola. With this analysis we can see that the programmability of knowledge legitimized by the noosphere prevents many innovations in didactization concerning the teaching of algebra and some books still keeps teaching algebra facing the training procedures and resolutions. On the other hand, we did find other paths of didactization in which an education directed to the development of algebraic thinking prevails.

This final thesis deals with the anthropological profile of children with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), which is one of the most common psychiatric diagnoses in childhood. Many studies have demonstrated the relationship of ADHD to differences in physical growth, mostly in terms of growth retardation and lower weight parameters. However, these differences are often associated with the use of pharmacological treatment. Some authors point to the possibility of the influence of ADHD itself. In this paper we compare the anthropometric parameters of the 40 boys with ADHD from 6.00 to 10.99 years of age who are treated with medication (methylphenidate) and 172 boys of control group. The compilation of control group for use in clinical research of ADHD was one of the objectives of the thesis. We also compared anamnestic data obtained using questionnaires. It provided information such as birth parameters, duration of breastfeeding, eating habits, amount of time spent in physical activity, or time spent watching television. The control group of healthy individuals was established to better reflect the somatic profile of recent child population and also provided the anamnestic data. Against currently used growth standards control group showed some significant differences, which could be...

Nas últimas décadas encontramos nos documentos oficiais (PCNEM e PCN+) orientações quanto à necessidade da inserção da Física Moderna e Contemporânea (FMC) nas aulas de física no Ensino Médio. Nesse mesmo período, professores e pesquisadores já sinalizavam quanto a esses aspectos e percebe-se que existem pontos em comum em suas pesquisas quanto às dificuldades de implementação dessa inserção. Nessa perspectiva, alguns conteúdos já foram inseridos a partir de projetos de inovação curricular nas escolas públicas e por meio de cursos de formação continuada, atendendo às necessidades dos professores de física, mostrando, por exemplo, que é possível levar tais conteúdos para a sala de aula. Contudo, quando procuramos analisar as pesquisas referentes ao professor nesse contexto, percebe-se uma escassez de trabalhos que se ocupam da formação e da prática docente no contexto da inovação curricular e, mais especificamente, da inserção da FMC. Dessa forma, este trabalho procura analisar a formação e a prática do professor nesse contexto, apresentando uma articulação possível entre a Teoria da Transposição Didática (TTD) e a Teoria Antropológica do Didático (TAD), ambas de Chevallard, na identificação das praxeologias adotadas pelo professor durante o processo de didatização dos saberes, na perspectiva de que ele desempenha um papel central e, ao mesmo tempo, sensível no momento de transformar o saber até que este chegue à sala de aula. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, centrada em um estudo de caso, no qual é analisada a prática docente de um professor de física da rede pública que participou de um curso de formação continuada no contexto da inovação curricular, e que, posteriormente, trabalhou com uma sequência didática sobre a temática da dualidade onda-partícula no Ensino Médio. Assim, busca-se identificar as praxeologias transpostas do curso de formação continuada para a sala de aula, bem como o exercício da vigilância epistemológica ao longo desse processo. / In the official documents (PCNEM and PCN+) of recent decades an orientation on the need to insert Modern and Contemporary Physics (MCP) in high school physics classes was published. In the same period, teachers and researchers already signaled on these matters and it is noticed that there are common difficulties to implement this insertion, as related in their research about this subject. From this perspective, some contents on curriculum innovation projects in public schools have been suggested giving pedagogical updating courses focusing on the physics teachers needs, showing, for example, that it is possible to take such contents in a the classroom. However, when we analyzed the research on the teacher in this context, there is a perceived lack of studies dealing with training and teaching practice in the context of curriculum innovation and, more specifically, the insertion of the MCP. Thus, this paper analyzes the formation and practice of teacher in this context, indicating a possible link between the Didactic Transposition Theory (DTT) and the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD), both of Chevallard, in the identification of the praxeologies adopted by the teacher during a didactization process of knowledge, from the standpoint that it plays a central role. At the same time, it is analyzed how the teacher shows to be sensitive until the knowledge turns to reach the classroom. For this, a qualitative research was conducted, focusing on a case study, where the teaching practice of a physics professor at the public school who participated in a continual education course in the context of curriculum innovation, and subsequently worked with a teaching sequence on the topic of wave-particle duality in high school. Thus, we seek to identify the transposed praxeologies the continuing education course for the classroom, and how is the exercise of epistemological vigilance throughout this process.

The choice of this subject is justified by the importance of Linear Algebra in the disciplines that make up a course in Electrical Engineering and the latent need of a change of focus given by teachers who teach the discipline. Therefore, we want to bring elements that justify the reformulation of the course that work with mathematical subjects such as Linear Algebra with graduations in this profile. The results were obtained through bibliographic searches, official documents applying for the courses of Electrical Engineering, interviews with teachers of graduation and applied exercises cited in the interviews. For its analysis, we sought in Anthropological Theory of the Didactic of Chevallard (1999), articulate the various concepts which are exposed in the triad object-person-institution. Among the results, we see that the learning of concepts of Linear Algebra as Matrix, Linear Systems and Linear Transformation is geared to existing relationships with others disciplines such as Electrical Circuits, Signal Processing, Electromagnetic Theory, among others. It also could identify the search for the formation of the conceptual and general engineer for that prime mathematical tied to search. We thus getting information to reply to our original question: Why does the Linear Algebra should be tauch in a graduate of Electrical Engineering? But how education could be directed? After the analysis of the gotten information, we perceive that the anticipation of certain content of the graduation could be worked through examples offered in current books of Linear Algebra. Another suggestion, pointing in the speech of teachers, refers to the integrated projects that address the interdisciplinary inherent in this course / Esta pesquisa inserida no atual projeto denominado Em busca de situações propícias para a aprendizagem de conceitos básicos de Álgebra Linear do Grupo de Estudos de Educação Algébrica (GPEA) da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP), propõe encontrar elementos que respondam às questões inerentes a esta investigação: Por que e Como deve ser lecionada a disciplina Álgebra Linear em uma graduação de Engenharia Elétrica? A escolha deste tema justifica-se pela importância da Álgebra Linear nas disciplinas que compõem um curso de Engenharia Elétrica e na necessidade latente de mudança de enfoque dado pelos professores que lecionam a disciplina. Assim, pretendemos trazer elementos que justifiquem a reformulação de cursos que trabalham com disciplinas matemáticas como a Álgebra Linear em graduações com este perfil. Os resultados foram obtidos através de pesquisas bibliográficas, documentos oficiais vigentes para os cursos de Engenharia Elétrica, entrevistas com professores desta graduação e exercícios aplicados citados nas entrevistas. Para sua análise, buscamos na Teoria Antropológica do Didático (TAD) de Chevallard (1999), articular as diversas noções expostas que constituem a tríade objeto-pessoa-instituição. Dentre os resultados obtidos, verificamos que a aprendizagem de conceitos de Álgebra Linear como Matrizes, Sistemas Lineares e Transformação Lineares está atrelada às relações existentes com outras disciplinas da graduação como Circuitos Elétricos, Processamento de Sinais, Teoria Eletromagnética, dentre outras. Também pudemos identificar a busca pela formação do engenheiro conceitual e generalista que prime por conhecimentos matemáticos vinculados à pesquisa. Estaríamos, assim, obtendo informações para responder a nossa pergunta inicial: Por que a Álgebra Linear deve ser lecionada em uma graduação de Engenharia Elétrica? Mas como poderia ser direcionado este ensino? Após análise das informações obtidas, percebemos que a antecipação de determinados conteúdos específicos da graduação poderia ser trabalhada através de exemplos propostos em livros atuais de Álgebra Linear. Outra sugestão, apontada no discurso dos professores, faz referência a projetos integrados que tratem a interdisciplinaridade inerente a este curso

O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi elaborar uma metodologia de diagnóstico da realidade dos estudantes como parâmetro de gestão. Como objetivos específicos, buscou-se aprofundar a temática pesquisada, visando a ampliar os conhecimentos e permitir uma melhor conexão entre os diferentes conceitos de um aluno ideal; entender a importância de reconhecer as diferenças e de construir levantamentos socioantropológicos sobre a realidade local. Para tanto, estruturou-se a pesquisa em três pilares: como o município faz hoje, o que a PENSE 2012 (Banco de dados) trouxe de importante e quais as principais tendências apontadas pela pesquisa, considerando o que a literatura recomenda. Este estudo investigativo teve como metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisa na Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Viamão (com realização de entrevistas e coleta de documentos) e pesquisa em banco de dados público (IBGE: PENSE, 2012). O trabalho gerou dois produtos para a rede educacional: a ampliação do cadastro dos alunos, com a construção de um parâmetro incluindo variáveis que contemplem melhor a diversidade presente nas escolas; e apontamentos para a elaboração de uma pesquisa socioantropológica na Rede Municipal. / Considering the importance of understanding who the subjects of education are, this study is an attempt to understand the reality of the education network in the city of Viamão, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in performing the diagnosis of elementary school students’ profiles as a parameter of educational management. The aim of this research is to formulate a methodology for diagnosis of students' reality as a management parameter. As specific objectives, the study attempts to deepen the topic, aiming at increasing the knowledge about it and enabling a better connection between the different concepts of the ideal student; to understand the importance of both acknowledging the differences and formulating social anthropological surveys of the local reality. In order to do that, the research has been grounded on three pillars: the way the city conducts the process today, important actions PENSE 2012 (database) has taken, and the main trends pointed by the research, considering what the literature has recommended. The methodology of this investigative study comprehended a bibliographical research, a research at the Municipal Secretariat of Viamão (with interviews and document collection), and research in a public database (IBGE: PENSE, 2012). The study has led to two outcomes for the educational network: widening of the students’ records with the formulation of a parameter including variables that are more suitable to the diversity seen in the schools; and notes for the formulation of a social anthropological research in the Municipal Network.

This language attitudes study used a matched guise technique to compare participant reactions of American-accented English to Japanese-accented English. Participants (n = 40) were college educated adults living in the Portland area who completed an online survey which measured characteristics related to Status, Solidarity, and Dynamism using semantic differential Likert scales. Results showed that while Japanese-accented English received less favorable ratings on the Status and Solidarity dimensions on a statistically significant level, the small effect size may have indicated that the differences were negligible. Interpreting the results from the data through the World Englishes Kachruvian paradigm, it is argued that English learners and users would benefit by focusing more on achieving intelligibility than on attaining perfect control of an idealized variety of English.

Malgré la sécularisation de la société française, la religion occupe une place importante dans notre quotidien. Le fait religieux s’impose comme un élément important pour la compréhension de l’histoire du monde. Nous devons donc nous questionner sur l’utilité de son enseignement dans l’école républicaine.Notre thèse se concentre sur l’enseignement de l’histoire dans l’enseignement secondaire français, via l’analyse des manuels scolaires édités entre 2008 et 2012 correspondant à un ensemble cohérent de la sixième à la terminale. Nous appréhendons le phénomène de transposition didactique de l’objet « fait religieux » au sein des manuels. Dans le cadre de la Théorie Anthropologique du Didactique, nous étudions l’enseignement du fait religieux à travers ses outils et mettons en lumière les complexes de praxéologies que nous pouvons retrouver dans les manuels d’histoires. Face à des tâches que nous retrouvons déjà dans les prescriptions, « raconter », « décrire » et « expliquer », nous pouvons mettre en évidence l’existence de différentes techniques qui relèvent de l’exploitation de l’iconographie ou du récit.Contours flous du fait religieux en tant qu’objet, prédominance des monothéismes, cantonnement du sujet dans le passé, notre étude met en lumière d’importantes variations dans notre corpus ainsi qu’une approche prudente de l’enseignement du fait religieux de la part de l’école. / Despite the secularisation of the French society, religion takes an important place in our daily life. The religious fact is an important cog in the understanding of our world, and the teaching of it becomes a necessity.Our thesis focus on the teaching of history in secondary education, through the analysis of school textbooks published between 2008 and 2012, that correspond to a coherent set from year 7 to year 13. We grasp the phenomenon of didactic transposition of the ‘religious fact’ object within the textbooks. In the frame of the Anthropological Theory of didactics, we study the teaching of religious fact through its tool and set light on the praxeology complexes we can find in the history textbooks. In front of tasks we already find in the ‘tell’ ‘describe’, and ‘explain’ requirements, we can bring out the existence of different techniques that come under iconography or narration exploitationblurred outlines of the religious fact as an object, prevalence of monotheism, confinement of the subject in the past, our study brings light on large variations in the presentation of our subject and on the very cautious way the school treat with the teaching of the religious fact.

"June 2003" 2 maps in pocket on back cover. Bibliography: leaves 285-308. This thesis critically examines the processes involved in the construction of the linguistic historical record for the north-west region of South Australia. Focussing on the work of Norman B. Tindale, the thesis looks at the construction of Tindale's Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara and Antikirinya representations. It argues that Tindale effectively reduced a diversity of indigenous practices to ordered categories more reflective of Western and colonial concepts than indigenous views. Tindale did not consider linguistic criteria in depth, had few informants, worked within arbitary tribal boundaries, was biased towards the category 'Pitjantjatjara' and was informed by notions of racial/linguistic purity. These factors which shaped the linguistic record must be taken into account when interpreting records for use as historical and native Title evidence.
