<div><div>Designing trajectories in dynamically complex environments is challenging and can easily become intractable via solely manual design efforts. Thus, the problem is recast to blend traditional astrodynamics approaches with machine learning to develop a rapid and flexible trajectory design framework. This framework incorporates knowledge of the spacecraft performance specifications via the computation of Accessible Regions (ARs) that accommodate specific spacecraft acceleration levels for varied mission scenarios in a complex multi-body dynamical regime. Specifically, pathfinding agents, via Heuristically Accelerated Reinforcement Learning (HARL) and Dijkstra's algorithms, engage in a multi-dimensional combinatorial search to sequence advantageous natural states emerging from the ARs to construct initial guesses for end-to-end transfers. These alternative techniques incorporate various design considerations, for example, prioritizing computational time versus the pursuit of globally optimal solutions to meet multi-objective mission goals. The initial guesses constructed by pathfinding agents then leverage traditional numerical corrections processes to deliver continuous transport of a spacecraft from departure to destination. Solutions computed in the medium-fidelity Circular Restricted Three Body (CR3BP) model are then transitioned to a higher-fidelity ephemeris regime where the impact of time-dependent gravitational influences from multiple bodies is also explored.</div><div><br></div><div>A broad trade-space arises in this investigation in large part due to the rich and diverse dynamical flows available in the CR3BP. These dynamical pathways included in the search space via: (i) a pre-discretized database of known periodic orbit families; (ii) flow-models of these families of orbits/arcs `trained' via the supervised learning algorithms Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs); and, finally (iii) a free-form search that permits selection of both chaotic and ordered motion. All three approaches deliver variety in the constructed transfer paths. The first two options offer increased control over the nature of the transfer geometry while the free-form approach eliminates the need for a priori knowledge about available flows in the dynamical environment. The design framework enables varied transfer scenarios including orbit-orbit transport, s/c recovery during contingency events, and rendezvous with a pre-positioned object at an arrival orbit. Realistic mission considerations such as altitude constraints with respect to a primary are also incorporated.</div></div>

__Les réflexions sur le FLE en Angola sont envisagées dans le cadre historique, sociolinguistique et pédagogique. Elle a pour objectif la mise en place d’un dispositif du FLE niveau A1 vers A2 et B1 vers B2 en vue d’aider les enseignants du FLE qui se trouvent en difficultés d’améliorer leurs pratiques et aux étudiants de mieux s’approprier le FLE.La recherche porte sur une problématique spécifique qui est les difficultés langagières des étudiants en FLE qui nous interpelle et nous nous sommes posés les questions suivantes : dans quelle mesure les difficultés langagières des étudiants seraient en lien avec les difficultés des enseignants peu formés pour enseigner le français langue étrangère.Qui enseigne ? Quelle est sa formation ? Comment enseigne-t-il ? À qui enseignent-ils ?Les réponses à ces questions ont nécessité l’élucidation des plusieurs concepts. Ce travail a privilégié une approche comparative avec des vidéographies de classe et des entretiens. Nous avons décrit les activités de classe en nous intéressant à la fois à la circulation des savoirs et surtout à l’analyse des gestes professionnels des professeurs de nos institutions universitaires. Ainsi, deux types d’analyse ont été privilégiés à savoir linguistique et didactique.La thèse a vérifié l’hypothèse selon laquelle la didactique du français langue étrangère permet d’élaborer des savoirs linguistiques et culturels adaptés au contexte angolais, de pallier les difficultés dans l’activité enseignante et de faire des apprenants les acteurs de leur propre apprentissage. ________________________________________ ______________________________________ / French as a Foreign Language (with the French acronym FLE) in Angola is first considered in its historical, socio-linguistic and pedagogic contexts. This thesis focuses on teaching methods with the objective of proposing a teaching strategy for FLE from level A1 to A2 and from B1 to B2. The aim is to assist those FLE teachers who find themselves in difficulty to improve their practice as well as to increase students’ mastery of FLE. The research centres on the specific problem which is the language difficulties of the poor results that students achieve in FLE, which is a cause for concern and has led to the following questions: to what extent the language difficulties of students would be linked to the difficulties of teachers who are poorly trained to teach French as a foreign language? Who are the teachers? What training have they received? How do they teach? Whom do they teach to? The answers to these questions have required the clarification of linguistic concepts and different aspects within linguistics. This study has adopted a comparative approach using video recordings of classes and interviews. We have described classroom activities with a focus on the exchange of knowledge and in particular on an analysis of the professional practice of teaching staff in our university institutions. Two types of analysis have thus been undertaken: linguistic and pedagogic. The results confirm the hypothesis that the approach adopted in teaching French as a Foreign Language allows the acquisition of linguistic and cultural knowledge appropriate to the Angolan context, overcomes difficulties faced by teachers and enables learners to take an active role in the own learning.

Estado, Folhapress e O Globo ? que integram os três principais conglomerados da mídia brasileira. Sob a perspectiva da sociologia das redações, a pesquisa tem como aporte teórico os estudos sobre gatekeeping e newsmaking. A tese mostra os procedimentos de distribuição de materiais jornalísticos destes serviços noticiosos, sob a lógica de aproveitamento de conteúdos produzidos no interior dos respectivos grupos de comunicação. Isto é, identifica como as agências nacionais operam com as notícias exclusivas dos principais jornais de seus respectivos grupos ? Estado de S.Paulo, Folha de S.Paulo e O Globo, produtores dos conteúdos que são disponibilizados pelos serviços noticiosos a centenas de veí¬culos assinantes. Do cruzamento de conteúdos publicados pelos três jornais com os distribuídos pelas respectivas agências, constatou-se a expressiva distribuição de conteúdos exclusivos das edições diárias desses periódicos pelos seus serviços noticiosos. Como consequência, a prática predominante nesses conglomerados contribui para a presença de mesmos temas/assuntos no jornalismo brasileiro, considerando que centenas de veículos sediados em diferentes regiões brasileiras reproduzem o noticiário desses três principais jornais do eixo Rio-São Paulo. Assim, a tese apresenta ainda um retrato da presença e atuação das agências em dez jornais regionais localizados em dez principais capitais brasileiras, reproduzindo um funil midiático com oferta de temas e abordagens jornalísticas construídos por três maiores grupos de mídia do País. / This research consists of multiple case studies on the production process of the National news agencies ? Estado, Folhapress e O Globo ? which integrate the three main Brazilian media conglomerates. From the perspective of the sociology of the newsroom, the research is based on gatekeeping and newsmaking theories. This thesis presents the procedures of the distribution of journalistic contents of news services and the logic behind the dissemination of news within these organizations. That is, it identifies how National news agencies handle exclusive reports printed in main newspapers of their respective groups ? Estado de S.Paulo, Folha de S.Paulo e O Globo, makers of the contents offered by news agencies to hundreds of media subscribers. By cross-referencing journalistic contents printed in the three newspapers, with those offered by respective agencies, it found the expressive distribution of exclusive contents published on these papers day to day through their report services. As a consequence, this predominant practice contributes to presence of same themes and subjects in Brazilian journalism, considering that hundreds of media subscribers of agencies in different Brazilian regions run the same stories printed in the main newspapers located in Rio-São Paulo. Thus, this thesis stills presents a picture of presence and action among news agencies in ten regional newspapers located in ten main Brazilian capitals, reproducing a medium funnel that offers themes and framings made by the three media giants of Country.

À expressão breaking news é atribuída uma intensificação da relação entre as categorias substantivas dos valores-notícia oriunda dos níveis de extraordinariedade dos acontecimentos e as rotinas jornalísticas como procedimento chave para a realização do trabalho jornalístico. Considerando a capacidade de impor o determinismo jornalístico aos fenômenos como uma das características que mais distingue o fazer profissional, parte do pressuposto que, atualmente, tal habilidade possui contornos intrincados. Pois sua prática é suscetível a influências de um ecossistema midiático complexo, em rede, descentralizado, acelerado, fluído, e marcado pela multiplicação do número de atores capazes de construir a realidade. Partindo do ciberacontecimento, o conceito proposto de ciberacontecimento breaking news constrói teoricamente esta intensificação, oferecendo possibilidades de abordá-la empiricamente. Esta construção é realizada por meio de dois movimentos. O primeiro desenvolve a proposta teórico-metodológica. Busca interfaces com a Teoria Ator-Rede (TAR), com o conceito de rizoma, de Deleuze e Guattari, com o método da cartografia e a com prática da curadoria de conteúdo. Objetiva arquitetar a anatomia e a dinâmica do processo evenemencial de um acontecimento extraordinário ao se desenvolver em rede. O segundo movimento busca, na teoria do jornalismo recente, subsídios para sustentar o ciberacontecimento breaking news. Para isso, são analisados 75 artigos publicados em um período de dez anos (2007-2016) nos periódicos Journalism, Journalism Practice e Digital Journalism. Esta análise traça uma evolução da expressão “breaking news” na contemporaneidade observando as discussões realizadas em sua órbita. Elas nutrem e contextualizam as características do ciberacontecimento breaking news desenvolvidas no primeiro movimento. A abordagem do breaking news desenvolvida nesta tese sugere um processo de dispersão e de reconcentração das práticas jornalísticas, em um movimento cuja tendência é a ampliação das fronteiras do jornalismo. / This doctoral thesis develops the cyberevent breaking news, a theoretical-methodological proposal that aims to understand the breaking news in contemporary Journalism performed in digital networks. The expression breaking news here is understood as an intensification of the relationship between the substantive categories of the news values originated from the events’ levels of extraordinariness and the journalistic routine as a key procedure for performing the journalistic work. Knowing that the capacity to impose journalistic determinism to phenomena is one of the characteristics that distinguishes professional journalistic work, it is based on the assumption that, nowadays, this ability has intricate boundaries, since it is known that its practice is open to influences of a complex, networked, decentralized, accelerated, fluid media ecosystem that is characterized by the multiplication of the number of actors able to build the social reality. Taking the concept of cyberevent as starting point, the cyberevent breaking news builds the mentioned intensification theoretically, offering possibilities to approach it empirically. This construction is splited in two movements. The first one develops the theoretical-methodological proposal itself. It does this by creating interfaces with the Actor-Network Theory (ANT), with the Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of rhizome, with the cartography method and with content curation practice. The goal is to architect the anatomy and dynamics of the evenemential process of an extraordinary event when it happens in a network. The second one quests subsidies to sustain the cyberevent breaking news in the recent journalism theory. For this, 75 articles published over a period of ten years (2007-2016) in the journals Journalism, Journalism Practice and Digital Journalism are analyzed. This analysis traces an evolution of the expression "breaking news" in the contemporaneity observing the discussions that appears in its orbit. Such discussions feed and contextualize the characteristics of the cyberevent breaking news developed in the first effort. The understanding of the breaking news developed in this thesis suggests a process of dispersion and reconcentration of journalistic practices, in a movement that indicates the expansion of the journalism boundaries.

The issue of successful implementation of strategic organizational change is not sufficiently addressed in the literature of organizational change even though there is unanimity in reporting a high rate of failure. Moreover, attempts to provide supportive guidelines that enhance implementation success are meager and their validity in nonwestern contexts is disputed. Thus, the present study tried to address the question of how a strategic organizational change can be successfully implemented by developing an implementation model within the context of Ethiopian commercial banks. In Ethiopia, commercial banking is exclusively reserved for nationals. This makes the setting a typical national context from where two commercial banks were included in the present study through maintaining maximum variation in ownership structure. Embedded in each bank, cases of teams which were established to redesign a specific type of business process were identified to theoretically sample participants for the indepth interviews. Applying an inductive multiple case study strategy, a combination of within-case and cross-case analyses were employed with the support of the ATLAS.ti software. As a result, theoretical propositions were made and an implementation model for strategic organizational change was developed by taking the context of commercial banks in Ethiopia into consideration. The findings indicate that national and organizational contexts demand contextualized approaches to implement strategic organizational change. Although several concepts which are documented in the extant literature were confirmed, original propositions are also made by the present study. A triple helix of initiating, designing, and implementing were emerged as inseparable components of the proposed implementation model for strategic organizational change in a context where cognitive and technical readiness is ensured. / Business Management / DBL

A presente pesquisa se ampara no relato da experiência do autor na condução de empreendimento familiar de prestação de serviços de execução de rotinas administrativas para o segmento de micro e pequenas empresas, para responder a seguinte questão de pesquisa: quais os fatores que limitaram o crescimento do negócio IDEALE Serviços? Foi uma hipótese que o uso de serviços compartilhados, largamente empregado em grandes organizações, possibilitaria o crescimento da empresa, o que levou ao objetivo de identificar aspectos que poderão contribuir para a implantação de um Centro de Serviços Compartilhados para micro e pequenas empresas. O estudo seguiu diretrizes do método de direcionamento para pesquisa profissional, partindo do relato e sistematização da vivência prática do autor para a busca de teorias administrativas que colaboraram com a questão de pesquisa, o que resultou na composição de um referencial teórico multidisciplinar, abrangendo: marketing de serviços; venda de serviços; características das pequenas empresas; relações de confiança; terceirização e quarteirização; operações de Centro de Serviços Compartilhados e; qualidade e nível de serviços. Análises entre prática e teoria se seguiram, suficientes para embasar as ações de pesquisa de campo. Por meio de pesquisa qualitativa aplicada ao público de clientes e ex-clientes do empreendimento, foram coletadas impressões, críticas e opiniões sobre o modelo de prestação de serviços. E também, pela realização de uma pesquisa de caráter quantitativo junto ao segmento de micro e pequenas empresas, foi possível identificar necessidades do mercado sobre o tema. Esta dissertação mostrou que é possível a iniciativa de prestação de serviços para micro e pequenas empresas através de um Centro de Serviços Compartilhados, tendo obtido, dentre as conclusões, que: é necessário mudar a cultura da micro e pequena empresa para que venha a aceitar essa modalidade; o pequeno empresário aceita a contratação desse modelo de trabalho se tiver confiança na empresa e nas pessoas que forem atuar nessa prestação de serviços; existe uma dificuldade maior para a adesão das micro e pequenas empresas a rotinas padronizadas, tendo em vista as suas particularidades; prefere-se que o pagamento dessa modalidade seja por valor fixo mensal por um pacote de serviços; por razões de confiança, as pequenas empresas têm dificuldade em aceitar que as atividades sejam executadas por um profissional diferente daquele que fez a venda e; as pequenas empresas podem usufruir de processos integrados, a partir da quarteirização e da consolidação de parcerias entre prestadores de serviços complementares. / This research is based on the author\'s experience in leading a family business which provided administrative routine services to micro and small companies, in order to answer the following question: which factors limited the business growth of IDEALE Services? It was a hypothesis that the use of shared services, widely used in large organizations should enable the growth of the company, which led to the goal of identifying aspects that could contribute for the implementation of a Shared Services Centre for micro and small businesses. The study followed targeting guidelines for professional research, based on the report and systematization of the living practice of the author in the search for administrative theories that cooperate with the research question, which resulted in the composition of a multidisciplinary theoretical framework, covering: marketing services; sale service; characteristics of small companies; trust relationships; outsourcing and fourth party services; Shared Service Center operations and; quality and level of services. Analysis between practice and theory followed, enough to support the field research activities. Through qualitative research applied to current and former customers of the enterprise, were gathered feelings, criticism and opinions were obtained about the model of provide service. Furthermore, by conducting a quantitative research study with the segment of micro and small companies, it was possible to identify market needs on the subject. This work has shown that the initiative to provide services to micro and small companies through a Shared Services Center is possible, having concluded that: it is necessary to change the culture of micro and small companies in order for them to accept this kind of service; small business owners will adhere the hiring of this work model if they have confidence in the company and the people who are involved; micro and small companies have a greater difficulty in welcoming standardized routines, in view of its special features; it is preferred that the payment of this kind of work is a fixed monthly amount for a service package; due to trust issues, small companies have trouble in accepting these activities to be performed by a different professional than that of the sale and; small companies can take advantage of integrated processes, from fourth party services and consolidation of partnerships between complementary service providers

Although alcohol consumption among the elderly is rising this is still modestly noted. Care managers in elderly care come in contact with elderly people. The purpose with the study was therefore to examine how care managers experience the work with elderly people with alcohol problems and six qualitative interviews have been conducted. Empirical data has been analyzed with thematic analysis and linked to previous research and Hasenfelds theory about people-processing, people-sustaining and people-changing. The results show that care managers experience routines regarding elderly with alcohol problems, does not differ much from traditional elderly cases. These cases demand a higher level of cooperation between different departments, because they lack resources to help the elderly. Important factors in the work are considered to be motivational work, building a trust and a functioning interaction. They request more knowledge about elderly and alcohol, support from colleagues and the substance abuse unit are considered important. / Även om alkoholkonsumtionen bland den äldre generationen stiger är detta fortfarande blygsamt uppmärksammat. Biståndshandläggare inom äldreomsorgen kommer i kontakt med många äldre i sitt arbete. Syftet med studien var därför att undersöka hur biståndshandläggare upplever arbetet med äldre som har en alkoholproblematik. För att besvara studiens syfte har kvalitativa intervjuer genomförts med sex biståndshandläggare i skilda kommuner. Empirin har analyserats med tematisk analys och kopplats till tidigare forskning samt Hasenfelds teori om people-processing, people-sustaining och people-changing. Resultatet visar att biståndshandläggare upplever att det som skiljer ärenden rörande äldre med alkoholproblematik rutinmässigt från traditionella äldreomsorgsärenden är att de kräver en högre grad av samverkan mellan olika funktioner då biståndshandläggare inte besitter resurser att hjälpa dessa äldre. Viktiga faktorer i arbetet anses vara motivationsarbete, skapa en förtroendefull relation och uppnå en fungerande samverkan. Biståndshandläggarna efterfrågar mer kunskap om äldre och alkohol och stöd från kollegor samt missbruksenheten upplevs vara viktigt.

O objetivo principal desta dissertação é analisar as tecnologias de aplicativos da Web 2.0, desde uma perspectivas evolucionária, e dos seus impactos nas empresas em nível global. Desta forma, para poder entender o seu nascimento, essência e importância econômica para as empresas, se tomou como base teórica o conceito evolucionário de revoluções tecnológicas e paradigmas tecno-econômicos, o qual serviu como modelo para interpretar a atual revolução das tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC) e seu conseqüente paradigma tecnoeconômico, e na qual se constatou que este grupo de tecnologias surgiu no período de tempo atual de dito paradigma conhecido como “intervalo de reacomodação” (turning point). Por outro lado, se ressaltou que uma das principais características no processo de difusão de cada paradigma tecno-econômico é o seu impacto na organização das empresas. Desta forma, a teoria evolucionária se apresentou como a abordagem adequada para entender tanto o caráter da empresa atual, entendida esta em termos do conjunto de suas rotinas (conhecimentos e habilidades), quanto as suas principais inovações organizacionais como respostas aos desafios apresentados pela própria difusão do paradigma tecno-econômico atual das TIC, na qual o acumulo permanente de novos conhecimentos e informações, isto é, de rotinas dinâmicas se tornam variáveis chaves para o próprio processo permanente de inovação, vital para as empresas. Diante da crescente utilização das tecnologias de aplicativos da Web 2.0 entre as empresas a nível mundial como meios potenciais para atingir esses objetivos, o presente trabalho analisou o seu potencial para gerar de forma mais fluida novos conhecimentos e informações, isto é rotinas dinâmicas, tanto dentro da organização das empresas como na interação com os seus consumidores, refletindo-se, assim, no aumento de inovações permanentes de novos produtos e serviços. / The main objective of this dissertation is to analyze the technologies of Web 2.0 applications, from an evolutionary perspective, and its impacts on businesses globally. Thus, in order to understand its birth, nature and economic importance for companies, it was taken as theoretical basis the evolutionary concept of technological revolutions and technoeconomic paradigms, which served as a model to interpret the current revolution in information and communication technologies (ICT) and its consequent techno-economic paradigm, in which it was found that this group of technologies originated in the current time of said paradigm known as turning point. On the other hand, it was emphasized that a key feature in the process of diffusion of each techno-economic paradigm is its impact on business organization. Thus, evolutionary theory appeared as the appropriate approach to understand both the character of the current company, which is understood in terms of its set of routines (knowledge and skills), as its main organizational innovations as answers to the challenges presented by the own diffusion of the current ICT techno-economic paradigm, in which the continuous accumulation of new knowledge and information, that is, dynamic routines, become key variables to the self process of continuous innovation, vital for companies. With the increasing use of Web 2.0 application technologies among the companies in the world as a potential means to achieve these goals, this study examined its potential to generate more fluidly new knowledge and information, that is dynamic routines, both within the business organizations and in their interaction with their consumers, which was reflected in the increase of permanent innovations of new products and services.

Bakgrund: Vårdrelaterade infektioner (VRI) är ett stort problem i Sverige och resten av världen och en av de viktigaste patientsäkerhetsfrågorna. Det leder till ett ökat lidande för patienten, längre vårdtider samt stora kostnader för samhället. Hälften av de VRI som sker kan förebyggas med åtgärder som bland annat följsamheten till basala hygienrutiner. Trots riktlinjer är följsamheten låg. Hälso-och sjukvården ska vara av god kvalitet med hög hygienisk standard. En av sjukvårdspersonalens viktigaste uppgifter är att förhindra att vårdskador sker och undvika onödigt lidande för patienten. Därför är det av stor vikt att ta reda på vilka faktorer som påverkar hälso- och sjukvårdspersonalens följsamhet till basala hygienrutiner. Syfte: Litteraturöversiktens syfte var att belysa olika faktorer som kan påverka hälso- och sjukvårdspersonals följsamhet till basala hygienrutiner på en akutmottagning (AKM). Metod: Denna studie har genomförts som en litteraturöversikt på 13 vetenskapliga artiklar av kvantitativ design. Av dessa har tolv artiklar sökts fram genom databaserna Cinahl och PubMed och en genom sekundär sökning. Resultat: Resultatet visar på att det finns flera faktorer som påverkar hälso- och sjukvårdspersonalens följsamhet till basala hygienrutiner på en AKM. Fyra huvudfaktorer som framkom var Miljön, Kunskap och utbildning, Attityder till basala hygienrutiner och Förbättringsarbete. Slutsats: Följsamheten till basala hygienrutiner var låg och det fanns flera faktorer som påverkade att hälso- och sjukvårdspersonalen inte följde de riktlinjer som fanns. / Background: Nosocomial infections are a huge problem in Sweden and the rest of the world and the most important issue of patient safety. These infections can lead to increased patient suffering, prolonged hospital stays and higher costs for the society. Half of the nosocomial infections that happens can be prevented with measures, such as the compliance with basic hygiene routines. Despite the guidelines, the compliance is low. Healthcare must be of good quality and have a high hygienic level and preventing injury is one of the most important tasks of healthcare personnel to prevent suffering. Therefore, it is very important to find out what factors affect compliance of the staff with basic hygiene routines. Aim: The purpose of the literature review is to highlight various factors that may affect the compliance of healthcare personnel with basic hygiene routines in emergency department. Method: This study has been formed as a literature review based on 13 scientific articles quantitative design. 12 of these have been found when search through the databases Cinahl and Pubmed and one by manual search. Findings: The result shows that there are several factors that affect healthcare personnel compliance of basic hygiene routines in an emergency department. Four head factors that showed are Environment, Knowledge and education, Attitudes to basic hygiene routines, and Improvement. Conclusion: The compliance of basic hygiene routines is low and there are several factors that affect that healthcare personnel does not follow the guidelines that is available.

Orientador: Adrian Oscar Dongo Montoya / Banca: Orly Zucatto Mantovani de Assis / Banca: Maria Suzana S. Menin / Resumo: Decorridos vinte anos da publicação no Brasil de Psicogênese da língua escrita, de Emília Ferreiro e dez anos da adoção da teoria construtivista pelos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais, temos constatado resultados que apontam para um insucesso dos alunos em relação ao ensino/aprendizagem de leitura/escrita. A teoria construtivista teria se mostrado inadequada para o enfrentamento da questão? Poderíamos apontá-la como causadora do insucesso dos alunos em relação às práticas de leitura/escrita? Deveríamos desconsiderar a revolução conceitual de Emília Ferreiro, voltar-lhe as costas e reconhecer como mais adequada a volta ao método fônico? Os professores teriam compreendido, verdadeiramente, e posto em ação, os pressupostos de Ferreiro, apoiando neles as práticas escolares de ensino/aprendizagem de leitura/escrita? Ou tê-los-iam compreendido como um novo método de ensino ou novo teste para a avaliação da maturidade dos alunos com vistas à sua classificação? Por que é que a divulgação da proposta construtivista de Ferreiro não resultou ainda em melhor desempenho dos alunos nas práticas de leitura/escrita? Esta investigação procurou compreender as prováveis razões do insucesso dos alunos em leitura/escrita e sua relação com as propostas construtivistas de Emília Ferreiro. Foram realizadas entrevistas e sessões de observação da sala de aula, com 20 professores do Ensino Fundamental I, de seis escolas municipais da cidade de Ourinhos, com melhor ou pior desempenho na Prova Brasil 2005. A partir da análise da Bibliografia e com base no questionamento de professores e na observação desses e de seus alunos durante atividades realizadas em sala de aula, pretendeuse conhecer e analisar a concepção subjacente às práticas, e as próprias práticas adotadas para o ensino/aprendizagem de leitura/escrita. Concluiu-se que os professores...

Therefore, we might ask, has the constructivism theory proved itself inadequate for the job? Could we point it out as being a cause of student's lack of success as to reading and writing? Should we put Emília Ferreiro's "conceptual revolution" to one side, turn our backs on it, and admit that it would be better to go back to the previously used phonic method. Had the teachers understood correctly and applied all that had been proposed by Ferreiro? Were they using these tools correctly to support their school activities, of teaching and learning of reading and writing? Or did they understand it to be a kind of new method of teaching or a sort of evaluation test that tested the students' maturity, with a view to their classification? Why after the publishing of Ferreiro's constructivism proposal haven't the student's performances improved, with regards to reading and writing? This study attempts to highlight the probable reasons for the student's lack of success in reading and writing, and its relation to Emília Ferreiro's constructivism proposals. Interviews were made as well as sit in class observation were done, with twenty teachers at six Fundamental Level 1 schools in the town of Ourinhos, SP State . The schools chosen were those that had been awarded the best and the worst performance rating in the Brazilian Governments year 2005 test (Prova Brasil). Based on the analysis of literature and the replies given, as well as by watching the way teachers performed in class, it was intended to get to understand and analyse...
