In this fast paced world, computer and internet use have automatically become an essential part of metropolitan life. It is easy for those who were born in the older generation to notice the impact of computers and internet on themselves, but what about this young generation of Thai teenagers who are growing up in a computerized generation? What computer-related behavioral aspects do these teenagers find to be unique for their generation? In seeking the answer to this question, this study aims to explore six different areas. Topics of discussion concern: (1) Thai teenagers define their computerized generation; (2) The computerized generation’s daily life activities; (3) The symbolic meanings of computers and the feelings of being in cyberspace; (4) Characteristics and concepts Thai teenagers use to identify as computer and internet-related influences on their generation; (5) Responding to common false myths concerning teenagers and computer use in Thai society; (6) Foreseeing their future living with computers and advance technologies. Data were collected from among sixty male and female high school students, age 16-19, in four different public schools in Bangkok. Anthropological research methods, namely participant observation, survey questionnaire, and in-depth interviews were utilized in order to achieve these study objectives.

Em 2016, estudantes secundaristas ocuparam algumas escolas públicas no Rio de Janeiro e esta pesquisa investigou suas motivações, ouvindo opiniões de estudantes ocupantes e não ocupantes sobre essa tática do movimento estudantil. Utilizou metodologias da extensão universitária, que valorizaram o sujeito estudado como parte ativa na produção do conhecimento, ao lado de técnicas variadas de coleta de dados: questionário, observação participante, rodas de conversa e registros dos próprios jovens. Analisa especificidades do formato ocupação, dialogando com pesquisas sobre ativismo juvenil no recente ciclo de políticas públicas de juventude no Brasil. A conclusão é que a escola que os jovens querem não é possível sem a sua presença efetiva nos debates, já que sua principal reivindicação é o direito à participação. Implica praticar, efetivamente, os princípios expressos na Constituição Federal (1988) e na Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação (1996) em relação à “gestão democrática da escola”, pois direções de escola autoritárias foram uma das motivações importantes para as ocupações.Palavras-chave: Juventude. Escola. Participação.Occupy moviments at schools in Rio de Janeiro in 2016: motivations and everyday livesAbstractIn 2016, high school students occupied some public schools in Rio de Janeiro and this research investigated their motivations, listening to opinions of students occupying and not occupying on this tactic of the student movement. It used methodologies of university extension, which valued the studied subject as an active part in the production of knowledge, along with varied techniques of data collection: questionnaire, participant observation, talk wheels and youth records themselves. It analyzes the specificities of the occupation format, dialoguing with research on youth activism in the recent cycle of public youth policies in Brazil. The conclusion is that the school that young people want is not possible without their effective presence in the debates, since their main claim is the right to participation. It implies practicing effectively the principles expressed in the Federal Constitution (1988) and in the Law of Guidelines and Bases of Education (1996) regarding "democratic school management", as authoritarian school directions were one of the important motivations for occupations. Key words: Youth. School. Participation.

This article examines the impact of using a philosopher’s pedagogy to teach school subjects (Lewis & Sutcliffe 2017) through the case study of Ethnic Studies at Kailua High School. Conducted in a multicultural setting, the participants in the study are 89 high school students and data comes from their course assignments. A constructivist approach to grounded theory methods is used to analyse data. Findings reveal how two facets of the philosopher’s pedagogy helped engage students and positively impact their personal and academic development. They are: (1) the seven-part inquiry process and (2) the community of inquiry. In the article’s conclusion, using the philosopher’s pedagogy to teach Ethnic Studies is presented as an important means for developing student engagement and carrying out the aims of multicultural, culturally responsive, and social justice approaches to schooling.

This case study aimed to apply, adapt and then evaluate a didactic approach to combat fake news, through scientific literacy in the context of emergency remote education (ERE) with a focus on COVID-19. For this, virtual workshops were held in 2020 with high school students from two public schools in the state of Maranhão, Brazil. All the ethical guidelines of Resolution CNS 510/2016 were followed. In the workshops, the students were exposed to the situation-problem of differentiating fake news from reliable news by identifying typical characteristics of either type of information. There were 18 characteristics for fake news and 18 characteristics for reliable news, of which 50% and 83.3% are unpublished, respectively. In addition, four fake news features and four reliable news features were observed by the students exclusively related to COVID-19. Thus, the adaptation to ERE that is proposed in the present study proved effective and could subsidize any work that aims to prepare students to better understand what is true and what is untrue in the world of the Internet, especially regards to in social media.

Neste estudo, objetiva-se compreender como os espaços e tempos promovidos por uma estrutura organizacional e metodológica alternante potencializam situações que levam os educandos a conhecer, refletir e autorregular seus processos formativos. Tal direcionamento parte de uma problemática estabelecida pelas seguintes questões: (a) que elementos/situações os educandos mobilizam diante de uma estrutura organizacional e metodológica alternante, que lhes demanda o papel de sujeito ativo e protagonista do seu processo formativo? (b) Mediante quais condições as estratégias que a escola dispõe na sua organização metodológica alternante potencializam pensamentos e conhecimentos metacognitivos nos educandos? Para dar conta dessas interrogações, a pesquisa se caracteriza como um estudo de caso de tipo etnográfico, desenvolvido com jovens secundaristas no âmbito do Instituto Educar, sendo adotados como procedimentos de investigação a observação participante, a análise documental e o grupo focal. Esses delineamentos se amparam em bases teórico-conceituais sobre cultura e aprendizagem (POZO, 2002), narrativa, cultura e externalização (BRUNER, 2001) e metacognição (FLAVELL, 1979). Os resultados evidenciam que os espaços e tempos promovidos pela estrutura organizacional alternante mobilizam os educandos à experiência participativa, à construção de projetos de vida que ensejam democracia e autonomia e à ampliação das práticas culturais de suas comunidades. Com relação aos processos que levam os educandos a conhecer, refletir e autorregular a própria formação, evidenciou-se que as possibilidades de avanços cognitivos decorrem da sua participação em coletivos, sendo que é mediante a cooperação entre os pares que as estratégias formativas podem ser potencializadoras de pensamentos e conhecimentos metacognitivos.Palavras-chave: pedagogia da alternância; educação do campo; metacognição; narrativas.Formative strategies and metacognitive processes in the context of Alternance PedagogyAbstractThis study intends to comprehend how the spaces and times promoted by an Alternant organizational and methodological structure enhance situations that lead the learners to know, reflect and autoregulate its own formative processes. This targeting starts from a problematic stablished by the following questions: (a) which elements/situations the leaners mobilize when an Alternant organizational and methodological structure demand them the active subject role as the protagonist of their own formative process? (b) in which conditions the strategies that schools have in its Alternant methodological organization enhance the metacognitive thinking and knowledge in learners? To answer these questions, the research became a ethnographic case study, developed with high school students from “Instituto Educar”, in which the adopted investigation procedures were the participant observation, the documental analysis and the focal group. These outlines are sustained by theorical-conceptual basis about culture and learning (POZO, 2002), narrative, culture an externalization (BRUNER, 2001) and metacognition (FLAVELL, 1979). The results show that spaces and times promoted by the Alternant organizational and methodological structure engage the learners to the participative experience, to build life projects aiming democracy and autonomy to enlarge the cultural practices on their communities. Regarding the processes that lead the learners to know, reflect and autoregulate its own formation, the study has shown that the possibilities of cognitive advances are result of their own collective participation, being that is through the peer cooperation that the formative strategies can enhance metacognitive thoughts and knowledge.Keywords: alternance pedagogy; countryside education; metacognition; narratives.Estrategias formativas y procesos metacognitivos en el contexto de la Pedagogía de la AlternanciaResumenEn este estudio, se pretende comprender cómo los espacios y tiempos promovidos por una estructura organizacional y metodológica alternante potencian situaciones que llevan a los educandos a conocer, reflejar y autorregular sus procesos formativos.
