http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-8026.2016v69n3p173Desde a década de 1990, na Argentina, tem havido uma preocupação considerável sobre se as instituições de ensino superior devem assumir a responsabilidade de ensinar habilidades acadêmicas a sua população estudantil ou se ambos os graduandos e graduados devem lidar com o processo de enculturação sem assistência. Embora acadêmicos pareçam ter chegado a um acordo e uma série de ações destinadas a facilitar o acesso dos estudantes universitários em suas comunidades de discurso alvo tenham sido apresentadas, ainda há um debate acalorado sobre a forma como a questão deve ser abordada. Neste artigo vamos descrever as iniciativas levadas a cabo em duas faculdades de engenharia (a Facultad de Ciencias de la Alimentación e a Faculdad de Ingeniería pertencente à Universidad Nacional de Entre Ríos) que abriram o caminho para a integração entre ensino e aprendizagem de habilidades de literacia acadêmica no currículo.

The transition from preschool to school age is a period when conceptual play may become the source of initiative and independence for a child — the very elements that learning activity lacks in its origins. The narrative plot of conceptual play helps children yet not capable of system thinking; it maintains the integrity and coherence of separate tasks given by a teacher, makes them more emotionally significant and provides new meanings for the child’s actions. However, if the teacher employs play and narrative only as the powerful motivators for learning, without the conceptual content, then cognitive and learning interests would generally develop in those children who came to school with a desire for knowledge and intellectual efforts. In conceptual play the child, acting on behalf of characters representing concepts, carries out the operations necessary for the formation of these concepts. The means of actions for the characters are instructional (schemes). Basing on the reading and writing lessons in primary school, the paper shows how conceptual play helps the child to keep in mind the simultaneously and equally existing (equally right) points of view on the studied subject. This lays the foundations for the future conceptual thinking, positional in its nature as it implies the ability to hold and coordinate various aspects of conceptual contradiction. Narrative plots of conceptual play enable the child to introduce his/her own connotations into the plot of a learning play and to become a co-author of the lesson, contributing to its direction.

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-8026.2016v69n3p189Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender os marcos iniciais, causas, atividades acadêmicas, bases teóricas e disciplinas envolvidas no desenvolvimento do campo de estudos de leitura e escrita no ensino superior na América Latina. Oito líderes acadêmicos da Argentina, Chile, Colômbia e México foram entrevistados a fim de aprender as suas perspectivas sobre este desenvolvimento. Os resultados mostram que os principais marcos fundadores são conferências que começaram na década de 2000; a Cátedra UNESCO é a principal rede acadêmica a reunir estudiosos interessados no tema; as razões para a emergência do campo estão relacionados com o aumento crescente das matrículas universitárias. No geral, um campo interdisciplinar de crescimento pode ser observado, mas a sua identidade disciplinária ainda é difusa, tendo em vista os conflitos de competência em curso.

The generation of literacy environments has occupied a central part in Preschool Education. This is one of the biggest concerns of educators and parents, due to the demands of society. That is the reason it to review and investigation, conceptual and aspects that are related. This process has fallen mainly on teachers, as they have the task of providing students with activities, strategies, and introducing them into the world of reading and writing. There are some parents, who are interested in helping their children with certain activities to promote literacy in the home, sometimes ask for help from teachers; however, these are not always available to help them or the parents. They teach their children the way they were taught. Under the above, there is a need to conduct a study to analyze the context in which the participants (mothers of families) develop, to encourage or create literacy environments in their homes, which will be fundamental for the development of competences and skills for the future literacy process.

<p class="apa">The transition between educational levels is a process characterized by the complexity and repercussions that it represents to the future of children’s education. Studies conducted in this field acknowledge the relevance of the approximation and continuity between the practices of preschool and primary teachers for children’s development and learning. However, they are also unanimous in stating that an optimized transition process is far from completion. There is a lack of studies that investigate the issue of continuity between educational levels in Portugal, especially in reading and writing. To address this problem, the objective of this study is to understand the way in which preschool and primary teachers work toward a coordinated and fluid transition, particularly in the field of written language. Interviews were conducted with preschool and primary teachers, and the results reveal the different positions among preschool and primary teachers in the manner in which they conceive the transition process between these two education levels.</p>
