AVALIAÇÃO NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: CONCEPÇÕES DE UMA PROFESSORA DE CRECHE RIBEIRINHA DA AMAZÔNIA PARAENSE

Este estudo objetivou conhecer a concepção de uma professora de creche ribeirinha sobre avaliação na educação infantil, identificar os instrumentos avaliativos utilizados por ela e compreender de que forma os utiliza em suas práticas. A metodologia constou da realização de observações da rotina das crianças e de entrevista com a professora da turma investigada. A professora afirmou reconhecer que o processo de avaliação da criança é necessário e importante para a mediação de sua aprendizagem e desenvolvimento e que tal processo serve como referência para compor suas práticas pedagógicas. No entanto, a docente parece não saber como realizá-lo cotidianamente, uma vez que em nenhum momento durante a investigação foi percebido qualquer tipo de registro feito por ela. Provavelmente muitos dos equívocos relacionados ao entendimento da professora a respeito da avaliação nesta etapa educacional se justifica na concepção, ainda presente, de que esta possui caráter meramente classificatório.Palavras-Chave: Avaliação; Professora; Creche. The purpose of this study was to know the conception of a riverside daycare teacher about evaluation in children's education, to identify the evaluation tools used by her and to understand how she uses them in her practices. The methodology consisted of the observation of the routine of the children and an interview with the teacher of the group investigated. The teacher affirmed that the process of evaluation of the child is necessary and important for the mediation of its learning and development and that this process serves as reference to compose its pedagogical practices. However, the teacher does not seem to know how to perform it daily, since at no time during the investigation she did not make any record. Probably many of the misunderstandings related to the teacher's understanding of the assessment at this educational stage are justified in the still present conception that it has a merely classificatory character.Keywords: Evaluation.

Party Politics

Rae Sremmurd employ trap aesthetics alongside sonic signifiers of crunk in order to construct a club scene that involves partying in the midst of violence. Building on the theory of trap irony I present in Chapter 3, I consider how Rae Sremmurd do queer work as a way of existing outside of neoliberal humanism. By refusing to create capital that feeds systems of violence and by refusing to reproduce within a system of violence, Rae Sremmurd party under duress, building a club that exists just outside of neoliberal humanism, pointing to a future we can only imagine, a future that exists “outside our present conception of what it is to be human.”

Posthuman

Posthumanism is most often theorized as a technological/human hybridity, but here I consider a posthumanism that follows Sylvia Wynter’s insistence on a humanism that “exists outside the present conception of what it is to be human.” That present conception is neoliberal humanism, which constructs the human in the image of a hyper-capitalist marketplace that favors whiteness, masculinity, heterosexuality, and fixed gender identities. Here, I turn toward a posthumanism that uses critical race and queer theories to find ways of being that are less violent to those who are black, queer, and feminine. What I’m interested in here is the kind of posthumanity that actively reconstructs what has long been a violently restrictive category: human.

Animálculo, Infusório, Protozoa, Primigenum, Protoctista, Primalia ou Protista? Contribuições históricas para o problema conceitual dos protozoários

ResumoPalavras como animálculos, infusórios, protistas e protozoários foram usadas para se referir aos pequenos organismos visualizados com ajuda dos microscópios cada vez mais potentes. Os conceitos cunhados para nomear esses organismos refletiam não apenas a visão de mundo para cada pesquisador na época como também um arcabouço conceitual acerca de suas características. Os diferentes conceitos que procuraram nomear os organismos e, posteriormente, o agrupamento daquilo que conhecemos hoje por protozoários refletem em sua raiz etimológica ora um diminutivo animal, ora uma concepção de primário numa escala de perfeição ou surgimento no planeta. Atualmente, continuamos denominando este agrupamento e seus indivíduos com conceitos que carregam um amplo repertório de significados que não condizem com a concepção atual do mundo biológico. Palavras-chave: Classificação biológica; Animálculos; Protistas.AbstractWords like animalcules, infusoria, protists and protozoa are used to refer to the small organisms viewed with the help of ever more powerful microscopes. The concepts coined for naming these organizations reflect not only the world view for each researcher at the time as well as a conceptual framework about its features. The different concepts that sought to appoint bodies and subsequently grouping of what we know today protozoal reflected in its etymological root sometimes a diminutive animal, sometimes the design of the primary on a scale of perfection or emergence on the planet. Currently, we are still called this group and its individuals with concepts that carry a wide repertoire of meanings that do not match the present conception of the biological world.Keywords: Biological Classification; Animalcules; Protists.

The Physical Activity Support Needs and Strategies Scale: Its Development and Use

People with intellectual disability (ID) engage in insufficient physical activity which negatively affects their health. In accordance with the present conception of ID and the supports paradigm, the current study aimed to develop and psychometrically assess an instrument examining the support needs and strategies regarding physical activity by using individuals with ID (n = 529), service providers (n = 522), and family members (n = 462) as information sources. The analysis revealed adequate reliability for the proposed instrument, with α values between .70 and .80, and adequate construct validity for the versions of the scale for the 3 information sources, particularly for service providers. The assessment information can be included in Individualized Support Plans and could be used to design and implement the strategies for facilitating a person's physical activity in their community.

Indledende note om demokrati-begrebet

In this text, Giorgio Agamben argues that the concept of democracy attests to a political, ontological amphibology: on the one side, democracy describes a constitution of a political order (and in this sense it belongs to public law); on the other side, democracy is a certain form of administration (in which case it belongs to administrative practice). It is argued that this amphibology can be located in the political theories of Aristotle and Jean-Jacques Rousseau who have been instrumental in forming our present conception of politics. Consequently, we misunderstand the fundamental nature of politics, and any hopes of genuine political life must therefore break with this tradition of Western political philosophy.

Civilisation, dialogue, security: the challenge of post-secularism and the limits of civilisational dialogue

The purposes of this article are twofold: (1) to consider the extent to which Dialogue of Civilisations (DoC) initiatives, as alternative visions of post-secular world order, are likely to address insecurities that they identify; and (2) to point to other insecurities that are likely to remain unidentified and unaddressed in the process. In their present conception, DoC initiatives risk falling short of addressing the very insecurities they prioritise (the stability of inter-state order) let alone attending to those experienced by non-state referents, which they overlook. The article advances three points in three steps. First, I point to how projects of civilisational dialogue have bracketed civilisation, thereby leaving intact the Huntingtonian notion of civilisations as religiously unified autochthonous entities. Second, I argue that while contributing to opening up space for communication, DoC initiatives have nevertheless failed to employ a dialogical approach to dialogue between civilisations. Third, I tease out the notion of security underpinning DoC initiatives and argue that the proponents DoC, in their haste to avert a clash, have defined security narrowly as the absence of war between states belonging to different civilisations. Theirs is also a shallow notion of security insofar as it fails to capture the derivative character of security and insecurity.
