The rise of unhealthy beverage consumption, such as soft drinks, in children and youth for the last 25 years has increased the risk of low bone mass density by replacing milk (a major source of calcium intake), compromised dental health, and possibly contributed obesity. A school-based nutrition education intervention was developed to promote a change in this behavior. This study examined the effectiveness of this nutrition education program, called FUEL (Fluids Used Effectively in Living), in promoting healthy beverage consumption among high school students. The FUEL nutrition education manual consisted of six classroom sessions; it was delivered in four classes of grade nine students using different approaches, either multiple or single strategies. The nutrition intervention used multiple teaching methods which included six lessons delivered as visual, group interaction, tactile, individual, and auditory teaching styles. The multiple strategies approach was delivered through peer educators (led by a dietitian) in one class and dietitian-only in another class. In the single strategy approach, also called self-taught, two classes received only the handouts in the FUEL manual. This latter approach was considered the control to the nutrition intervention. The two classes that received either peer education or self-taught approach were in two high schools in Saskatoon. The two classes with either dietitian-taught or self-taught approaches were in a high school in Prince Albert. The beverage intake, knowledge, and attitude of students were assessed by a self-administered questionnaire before the intervention, a week after the intervention, and three months after the intervention. In Saskatoon only, a one year follow-up beverage intake assessment was performed. None of the schools in the FUEL study provided healthy beverage choices for the students. Generally, students in our study consumed an adequate amount of milk, but they drank sugary beverages daily. There was a tendency to replace milk and 100% fruit juices with sugary drinks. After the intervention, students in multiple teaching strategies decreased their sugary beverage intake significantly. The findings indicated that a school-based nutrition education with multiple teaching strategies may lead to positive knowledge, attitude and behavioural change which will have beneficial effect on long-term health.

These teachers the subjects of the research - had been located in the RME. It based itself theoretically on the studies of some authors, among which they can be detached Chaui (1996.2001, 2003, 2006); Miranda (1997, 2004, 2005); Gramsci (2004); Rabbit (1994, 1998, 2003, 2004, 2006); Arroyo (2000) and others. It had as study object to investigate the knowledge that is present in the teachers performance of Eaja who teach to 5° the 8° series of nocturnal basic education. The changes in the contemporary society provoked by the economic, social and political transformations have significantly affected the education and in this field, the formation of the teacjers for basic education and, also, for the Eaja. This process directs the formation of educators and learners for the narrow marketing, predominant vision in the globalized world, undeserving all the knowledge that does not possess immediate application, influencing of negative form the quality of education, in special, of the education directed for the Eaja that is constituted basically of manual worker or dismissed workers. This inquiry inquired: What challenges the teachers face to deal with the existing tension between education and learning? How they deal with these challenges? What knowledge is present in their practices? How had they been appropriated? The supposed continued formation has contributed to redimension the knowledge of these teachers? Searching to answer these investigations, it argued - with some authors the difference between common sense and systemizes knowledge and the paper of the university in the production of the knowledge, searching theoretical elements that could base the agreement of the ultimate issue of this research. On the basis of Machado (1997, 2001), Ribeiro (1999), Lopes (2006), Nogueira(2005) and others, had argued it question of the specificity of knowing of the teachers of the Eaja and its implications to the knowledge of the teachers in general, establishing relations with the systemize knowledge and the common sense in the formation and performance of the of Eaja of SME of Goiânia. The analysis made possible the apprehension of the passage formed of knowledge of the investigated subjects and of its implications in the practice one of Eaja. By means of its speeches it was possible to understand that the challenges of the teaching work go beyond the field of the formation, and that in the search to take care of to the specificity, the teacher works with the learners of Eaja the knowledge searched in the reality of the pupil. / Esta pesquisa do tipo qualitativa, intitulada: Os saberes dos professores do segundo segmento do ensino fundamental da educação de adolescentes, jovens e adultos investigou os saberes dos professores do segundo segmento do ensino fundamental da Eaja. Esses professores - sujeitos da pesquisa - foram localizados na RME. Ela se fundamentou teoricamente nos estudos de alguns autores, entre os quais podem ser destacados: Chauí (1996, 2001, 2003, 2006); Miranda (1997, 2004, 2005,); Gramsci (2004); Coelho (1994, 1998, 2003, 2004, 2006,); Arroyo (2000) e outros. Teve como objeto de estudo investigar os saberes que permeiam as práticas dos professores de Eaja que atuam de 5ª a 8ª séries do ensino fundamental noturno. As mudanças ocorridas na sociedade contemporânea provocadas pelas transformações econômicas, políticas e sociais tem afetado significativamente a educação e nesse campo, a formação de professores para educação básica e, também, para a Eaja. Esse processo direciona a formação de educadores e educandos para a estreita visão mercadológica, predominante no mundo globalizado, desmerecendo todo conhecimento que não possua aplicação imediata, influenciando de forma negativa a qualidade do ensino, em especial, do ensino direcionado para a Eaja constituída basicamente de trabalhadores ou desempregados. Esta investigação indagou: que desafios os professores enfrentam para lidar com a tensão existente entre ensino e aprendizagem? Como eles lidam com esses desafios? Que saberes permeiam suas práticas? Como foram apropriados? A suposta formação continuada tem contribuído para redimensionar os saberes destes professores? Buscando responder essas indagações, discutiu-se com alguns autores a diferença entre senso comum e conhecimento sistematizado e o papel da universidade na produção do conhecimento, buscando elementos teóricos que pudessem fundamentar o entendimento da questão principal desta pesquisa. Com base em Machado (1997, 2001), Ribeiro (1999), Lopes (2006), Nogueira (2005) e outros, discutiram-se a questão da especificidade dos saberes dos professores da Eaja e suas implicações com os saberes docentes, estabelecendo relações com o conhecimento sistematizado e o senso comum na formação e atuação do professor da Eaja da SME de Goiânia. A análise realizada possibilitou a apreensão do percurso formativo dos saberes dos sujeitos investigados e de suas implicações na prática da Eaja. Por meio de seus discursos foi possível entender que os desafios do trabalho docente extrapolam o campo da formação, e que na busca de atender a especificidade o professor trabalha com os educandos da Eaja os conhecimentos buscados na realidade do aluno.

We detach the relevance to value the knowledge previously acquired by these pupils in the practical one of the teacher of athematics in classroom. The research looked for to approach different spheres of the education, having for focus to understand the necessities concerning the EAJA. In harmony to a current and recognized theoretical recital for the scholars that they search improvements for adult young the pertaining to school education of and, we search to display some of the relations that surround the development of the mathematical knowledge in the school from the partner-cultural context of the individual. For this, we carry through a research of field next to the pupils the school City Maria Helena Bretas in Goiânia- GO, place where our results are context. / Neste trabalho, salientamos a importância do desenvolvimento do conhecimento matemático a partir do contexto sócio-cultural do aluno que cursa a Educação de Adolescentes, Jovens e Adultos (EAJA). Destacamos a relevância de valorizar os conhecimentos previamente adquiridos por estes alunos na prática do professor de matemática em sala de aula. A pesquisa procurou abordar diferentes esferas da educação, tendo por foco compreender as necessidades acerca da EAJA. Em harmonia a uma fundamentação teórica atual e reconhecida pelos estudiosos que buscam melhoras para a educação escolar de jovens e adultos, buscamos expor algumas das relações que cercam o desenvolvimento do conhecimento matemático na escola a partir do contexto sócio-cultural do indivíduo. Para isso, realizamos uma pesquisa de campo junto aos alunos da escola Municipal Maria Helena Bretas em Goiânia-GO, local em que nossos resultados estão contextualizados.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo incrementar saídas diante da crise de sentido na atual pós-modernidade, assim como a formação de uma identidade ecumênica nos alunos adolescentes por meio do Ensino Religioso cristão, tendo como exemplo a ética do Rabino e profeta Jesus de Nazaré, conduzindo o adolescente hodierno inserido nesta realidade desafiadora do mundo atual, para abertura com o diferente e uma vida com propósito. Sendo um trabalho de cunho eminentemente bibliográfico, que visou a sistematizar as ideias e a prática do E. R. ecumênico na aprendizagem dos adolescentes. Estimou-se por este trabalho, contribuir na busca do diálogo, respeito e tolerância inter-religiosa para a convivência harmônica entre as pessoas e a edificação de uma sã cidadania no adolescente hodierno.

Para Foucault a sexualidade é um dispositivo histórico, ou seja, se constitui no movimento da história, sendo uma invenção social de um determinado tempo. Sua constituição se dá a partir das construções no campo discursivo sobre o sexo que abarca os saberes sobre ele, bem como sua normatização e regulação social através das produções de verdade. Este trabalho busca problematizar os discursos de alunos, mães e professores do Ensino Médio, acerca do tratamento dado às questões de sexualidade na escola. Para isto, tomou para participantes mães, professores e alunos de uma escola pública da rede estadual de ensino de nível médio da cidade do Recife. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa que utiliza como técnicas a observação participante e a entrevista de grupo focal. Os grupos foram formados por professores, mães e alunos da referida escola. Os participantes receberam um estímulo visual de imagens, de pessoas e símbolos, com variadas possibilidades de interpretação sobre o tema sexualidade e em seguida ouviram uma pergunta disparadora: como as questões sobre sexualidade circulam na escola? As discussões foram filmadas apenas para fins de análise, resguardando-se o sigilo total sobre a identidade dos participantes. A riqueza da discussão desse grupo heterogêneo possibilitou a aproximação do assunto com a realidade vivenciada pelos participantes. A construção dos dados indicou, entre outras questões, que os discursos de saber sobre a temática que perpassam os participantes no ambiente escolar priorizam uma sexualidade atravessada pelo discurso médico biologizante, especialmente no que diz respeito aos aspectos preventivos. Além disto, o sexo é tratado como algo que traz consequências predominantemente nocivas ao jovem e não como algo saudável que faz parte da vida, sobretudo no período de descobertas da adolescência. Os participantes referem que os discursos que circulam na escola sobre a temática são contraditórios: ora são incentivadores de uma prática da sexualidade, pois entendem que falar sobre o assunto é estimular a prática sexual, ora visam apenas à prevenção de doenças. Apesar da discussão sobre sexualidade ser considerada pelos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs) como um tema transversal, quando questionados a respeito de quem deveria tratar o tema nas escolas, os professores tendem a delegar esta tarefa a um profissional exterior ao ambiente escolar, sobretudo ao psicólogo. Na escola estas discussões acontecem, predominantemente, nas aulas de biologia e os alunos reforçam a importância deste espaço para tirar dúvidas, pois afirmam não conseguir dialogar abertamente sobre o assunto em casa. Não é comum a frequência dos pais/responsáveis nesta escola, fato que dificultou inicialmente a composição dos grupos. Além disso, em sua formação, contamos apenas com a participação de mães, apesar do convite ter sido feito, também, aos pais. A discussão sobre a sexualidade e seus desdobramentos na escola visa contribuir para novas perspectivas de trato sobre o tema, além de aproximar o diálogo entre pais, professores e alunos de modo que seus discursos não se apresentem como verdades isoladas de cada grupo, mas que possam interagir abrindo o debate para um campo de possibilidades que contribua positivamente para a vivência da sexualidade dos alunos. / According to Foucault, sexuality is an historical device, which means that it has been composed through the history as a social invention of a particular time. The establishment of sexuality starts from the development in the discursive field about sex that includes the knowledge about it, as well its regulation through real productions. This work seeks to question the discourse of students, parents and teachers of high school, about the treatment of the issues of sexuality in school. The participants in this qualitative research study were mothers, teachers and students in a state public high school in Recife-PE, who were observed and interviewed. They received a visual stimulus with images of people and symbols, with different possibilities of interpretation on the theme sexuality and then heard a prompt question: how are the sexuality issues circulating in the school? Discussions were filmed only for analysis purposes, protecting the participants identity. The construction of the data indicated, among other things, that the speeches about this topic surroundedbythe participants in the school environment prioritize a sexuality crossed by the medical discourse, especially regarding to the preventive aspects. In addition, sex is treated as something that brings predominantly negative consequences to the young people and not a healthy part of life, especially in adolescence discoveries period. Although the discussion about sexuality has been considered by the National Curriculum Parameters (PCNs) as a cross-cutting issue, when questioned about who should deal with the topic in schools, teachers tend to delegate this task to a professional outside the school environment, especially the psychologist. At school these discussions take place predominantly in Biology classes and students emphasize the importance of this space to ask questions. They state that they dont have the opportunity to talk about it at home openly. The low frequency of parents/guardians in this school initially hindered the composition of the groups. In addition, only the mothers participated in this study, although the invitation was made also to other guardians. The discussion about sexuality and its consequences at school aims to contribute to new perspectives on the topic, as well as closer the dialogue between parents, teachers and students. Therefore, their speeches would not present themselves as isolated truths of each group, but interact opening the debate to a field of possibilities that contribute positively to the experience of sexuality of the students.

This diploma thesis focuses on the process of civic and political socialization of adolescents in the context of the reflexion of current political topics in the lessons of civic educational basis on secondary technical schools in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part of the thesis contains the explanation of basic terms regarding the chosen topic. It is then followed by an analysis of curricular documents of secondary technical education in the Czech Republic on the national level, from the point of view of the possibilities of the inclusion of current political topics into the teaching lessons. After the theoretical consolidation of the topic, a practical part of the thesis follows, which consists of a case study. This study aims to describe (with the help of the methods of mixed research) the reflexion of current political topics in the Civics lessons on a chosen secondary technical school, for example regarding the teaching methods, also the frequency and intensity of including the topics into the lessons, or expression of personal opinions of the teachers on current political topics. Through the realisation and evaluation of a questionnaire survey is at first found out the perception of teaching about current political topics, as the pupils of the chosen secondary technical school perceive it. Then is through the realisation of half-structured interviews with the teachers and the following analysis in the whole context found out also their position towards teaching about these topics. The ending part of the thesis then includes the conclusion of all important and interesting findings the study brought, evaluation of reaching the goals which were set for the research, recommendation for the pedagogical praxis and also a reflexion on the use of the findings on an own future praxis.
