This article is the result of an investigation whose main purpose was to analyze the constructions of the concept of disability. We intend to analyze the discourses on disability that teachers working with students in this situation have built. The approach to the data was from a qualitative paradigm, of descriptive scope, and supported by the grounded theory methodology. Questionnaires were applied to 22 participants, basic education teachers. We conclude that the scientific knowledge has hegemonized visions, but in the process it has turned to common sense, leaving aside an important substratum as it is our action in front of other people and the consequences of the interventions and diagnoses that, being scientifically validated, invalidate the others and exclude the others. The above implies looking at teacher training from an ethical and political stage where complex processes of reflection overcome the reduced vision that has been built on disability and its inclusion.

Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para os cursos de graduação em Educação Física e as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para os Cursos de Formação de Professores para a Educação Básica, na expectativa por compreender as lógicas de formulação e implementação destes instrumentos políticos e seus impactos na dicotomização da oferta das modalidades: licenciatura e bacharelado. Foram combinadas as pesquisas: bibliográfica e documental em uma abordagem qualitativa de investigação. Os documentos utilizados na análise foram os pareceres e resoluções do Conselho Nacional de Educação (CNE) via Câmara de Educação Superior (CES) do Ministério da Educação (MEC) que tratam sobre as particularidades da formação profissional em nível superior de professores de Educação Física (Bacharéis e licenciados). Para o tratamento dos dados foi utilizada a técnica de análise de conteúdo. Foi possível constatar que a política educacional de formação superior em Educação Física está forjada por atos decisórios contraditórios. De um lado, estabelece a garantia do direito à educação com característica humanística e generalista dando autonomia às instituições inovarem seus currículos, mas de outro, permite condicionantes mercadológicos que segmentam a formação em licenciatura e bacharelado, o que gerou insegurança jurídica para os estagiários e egressos dos cursos, desvalorização da licenciatura e enaltecimento do bacharelado.Palavras-chave: Política educacional.

The researches were: bibliographical and documentary in a qualitative research approach. The documents used in the analysis were the opinions and instructions of the National Council of Education (CNE) through the Higher Education Board (CES) of the Ministry of Education (MEC), which deal with the particularities of higher education of teachers of Physical Education (Bachelor and Teachers formed).  It was possible to record that the educational policy of higher education in Physical Education is forged by contradictory decisions. On the one hand it establishes the guarantee of the right to education with a humanistic and generalist characteristic, giving autonomy to the institutions to innovate their curricula, but on the other, it allows market conditions that segment the training in teacher courses and baccalaureate, generating legal uncertainty for the trainees and the graduates of the courses, devaluation of the degree and extolling in bachelor degree.Keywords: Educational policy.

O presente trabalho apresenta uma análise reflexiva do Programa Federal, Pacto Nacional Pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa - PNAIC, na formação docente. Trata-se de uma pesquisa que surge a partir da seguinte problemática: o processo formativo oriundo do PNAIC tem contribuído para práticas diferenciadas de professores do ciclo de alfabetização? Qual a importância dessa qualificação profissional (PNAIC) para a formação docente? Assim, quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos a pesquisa é de abordagem qualitativa, quanto aos fins é exploratória e quanto aos meios bibliográfica, fundamentada, principalmente, nos documentos legais que regulamentam o Programa, além de autores tais como: Vygotsky (1989), Ferreiro e Teberosky (1984), Tardif (2012) e Nóvoa (1992), entre outros. Embora o PNAIC seja fundamentado em quatro eixos - formação continuada de professores; materiais didáticos e pedagógicos; avaliação; gestão, controle social e mobilização – a presente investigação tomou como foco principal o eixo da formação de professores, para os quais os demais se direcionam. Assim, destacam-se no Programa: a ênfase do trabalho do professor a partir de uma perspectiva reflexiva; as propostas de ensino centradas em um material pedagógico diversificado e lúdico; a importância da heterogeneidade de saberes. Por fim, nota-se, que o PNAIC enquanto Política Pública contribuiu significativamente no que diz respeito a repensar as práticas do professor alfabetizador visto que trouxe em pauta, temáticas pouco exploradas e até mesmo desconhecidas por muitos profissionais. Entretanto, também foi possível perceber as fragilidades do Programa, o que decorre do fato de ser um Programa Federal, sujeito às decisões políticas e econômicas.   Palavras-chave: Educação Básica. Alfabetização. Formação de Professores.                              Abstract The following article presents an analysis on the Federal Program, National Pact for the Literacy at the Right Age – PNAIC, teacher training. It is a research that arises from the following problem: has the formative process coming from PNAIC contributed to differentiated practices of teachers of the literacy cycle? How important is this professional qualification (PNAIC) for teacher education? Thus, as for the methodological procedures the research is qualitative approach, the ends are exploratory and the bibliographic means, based mainly on the legal documents that regulate the Program, besides authors such as: Vygotsky (1989), Ferreiro and Teberosky (1984), Tardif (2012) and Nóvoa (1992), among others. Although PNAIC is based on four axes - continuing teacher education; didactic and pedagogical materials; evaluation; management, social control and mobilization - this research has focused on the axis of teacher education to which the others are directed. Thus, the following stand out in the Program: the emphasis of the teacher's work from a reflective perspective; teaching proposals centered on a diversified and playful pedagogical material; the importance of knowledge heterogeneity. Finally, it should be noted that the PNAIC as a Public Policy contributed significantly to rethink the practices of the literacy teacher as it brought to the agenda, themes little explored and even unknown to many professionals. However, it was also possible to perceive the weaknesses of the Program, which stems from the fact that it is a Federal Program, subject to political and economic decisions.   Keywords: Basic education.

Basic Education System

Despite the recent enactment of the Zimbabwean Constitution which provides for the right to basic education, complaints, reminiscent of a failed basic education system, have marred the education system in Zimbabwe. Notwithstanding glaring violations of the right to basic education by the government, no person has taken the government to court for failure to comply with its section 75(1)(a) constitutional obligations, and neither has the government conceded any failures or wrongdoings. Two ultimate questions arise: Does the state know what compliance with section 75(1)(a) entails? And do the citizens know the scope and content of their rights as provided for by section 75(1)(a) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe? Whilst it is progressive that the Education Act of Zimbabwe as amended in 2020 has addressed some aspects relating to section 75(1)(a) of the Constitution, it has still not provided an international law compliant scope and content of the right to basic education neither have any clarifications been provided by the courts. Using an international law approach, this article suggests what the scope and content of section 75(1)(a) might be.

The University

Teachers trained in one country are often not allowed to serve as teachers in another country because their teacher’s license is not recognised as equivalent. The barriers these teachers have to overcome in order to work in their profession again are high and often require further (full) teacher training at the university. The paper provides insights into the conditions for teachers who participate in (re-)qualification programmes in Germany and Europe. By linking the theoretical concepts of a biographical approach to teacher professionalisation and transnationalisation in education, the results of an interview study with teachers who have participated in a programme for refugee teachers at a university in Germany are presented. The Grounded Theory analysis reconstructs the strategies of internationally educated teachers managing to keep up their hope to be able to work as teachers again and thus counter the formal de-professionalisation they are facing.

Abstract This article investigates, using a sociology of profession approach, why veterinarians and aqua medicine biologists share jurisdiction in fish health in Norway. I use a five-actor framework to highlight key events in the development of the Norwegian model for inter-professional and cross-sectoral collaboration in fish health. Veterinarians were initially the only profession involved in fish health. However, in the late 1980s, the Norwegian aquaculture industry suffered great losses due to significant disease outbreaks. Lack of scientific knowledge about the disease causing the outbreaks, Hitra disease, and lack of veterinary capacity to cope with the problem resulted in a situation in which veterinarians continued, as an early response to the disease, to use antibiotic-based therapies. The marine science milieu, with support from the aquaculture industry, instituted a vaccine solution to the endemic Hitra disease in 1987. This scientific breakthrough had major impacts on combatting fish diseases and on the further development of vaccines. New vaccine solutions for other diseases, such as furunculosis, were developed by international and multidisciplinary collaboration. Over a 7-year period, the use of antibiotic-based therapy was dramatically reduced. The control of fish diseases is aquaculture’s X factor, and without these vaccine solutions and regulation regimes, the story of Norwegian aquaculture could have been different. The successful development of the Hitra disease vaccine enabled the marine science milieu at the University of Bergen and the University of Tromsø to establish a new programme of education for aqua medicine biologists based on their own scientific knowledge base. However, their struggle for shared jurisdiction, including the right to prescribe veterinary medicine, lasted nearly 20 years. In 2005, veterinary legislation was amended, and in addition to medical doctors, dentists and veterinarians, aqua medicine biologists, as the fourth profession in Norway, gained the right to prescribe medical products. I argue that the experience in Norway, where professionals from two different sectors share jurisdiction and work side by side in fish health, is worth examining as a model for organizing inter-professional and cross-sectoral collaboration.

Philosophers have not been sceptical only about metaphysics or religious beliefs. There are a great number of other beliefs generally held which they have had at least as much difficulty in justifying, and in the present article I ask questions as to the right philosophical attitude to these beliefs in cases where to our everyday thought they seem so obvious as to be a matter of the most ordinary common sense. A vast number of propositions go beyond what is merely empirical and cannot be seen to be logically necessary but are still believed by everybody in their daily life. Into this class fall propositions about physical things, other human minds and even propositions about one's own past experiences based on memory, for we are not now ‘observing’ our past. The phenomenalist does not escape the difficulty about physical things, for he reduces physical object propositions, in so far as true, not merely to propositions about his own actual experience but to propositions about the experiences of other human beings in general under certain conditions, and he cannot either observe or logically prove what the experiences of other people are or what even his own would be under conditions which have not yet been fulfilled. What is the philosopher to say about such propositions? Even Moore, who insisted so strongly that we knew them, admitted that we did not know how we knew them. The claim which a religious man makes to a justified belief that is neither a matter of purely empirical perception nor formally provable is indeed by no means peculiar to the religious. It is made de facto by everybody in his senses, whether or not he realizes that he is doing so. There is indeed a difference: while everyone believes in the existence of other human beings and in the possibility of making some probable predictions about the future from the past, not everybody holds religious beliefs, and although this does not necessarily invalidate the claim it obviously weakens it.

The issues are considered related to providing mining enterprises with the engineering personnel capable of managing mining and blasting operations. At present, not all the mining enterprises have a full staff of specialists and managers who are legally entitled to manage mining and blasting operations. Some employees who previously had such a right, after changes in the legal framework, ceased to meet the new requirements. The analysis is presented concerning the competencies required to perform these production functions, as well as educational programs that allow acquiring these competencies. The importance of professional retraining programs for solving these problems and the imperfection of the modern regulatory framework, which practically excludes the possibility of obtaining the right to manage mining and blasting operations, even after professional retraining for persons with a higher technical education in a non-mining profile, are shown in the article. An integrated approach is proposed for resolving the issues of the admissibility of obtaining the right to manage mining and blasting operations by these persons considering a number of factors: basic education, work experience and positions held at a mining enterprise, completed training in programs of additional education and professional retraining. Such programs should be developed and implemented by the organizations with experience in training mining engineers and having a license from Rosobrnadzor for the right to implement programs not only for additional professional education, but also for higher professional mining education. The need is substantiated in developing professional standards for managers of mining and blasting operations at the enterprises for the extraction of solid minerals. Recommendations were developed for amending the federal rules and regulations in the field of industrial safety in order to ensure the possibility of using professional retraining programs for training and final certification of the managers of mining and blasting operations.

The Impact

Much of what we know about stroke is limited to the first 5 years postinjury; however, the effects of having a stroke remain several years, even decades, postinjury, and the impact this has on an individual's quality of life over a long period of time is not completely understood. Purpose The purpose of this study was to understand one woman's experience living with the effects of stroke over multiple decades postinjury and to explore factors that affected her quality of life during this time. Method Using Grounded Theory methodology, data were drawn from 28 years of journals kept by the participant and from semistructured family interviews. Results Four major interacting themes emerged from the data: family support, faith, personality, and journaling. Findings are discussed in the context of resilience theory.
