According to the Curriculum Guidelines of Biology of Basic Education "school should encourage the pedagogical practice based on different methodologies, valuing the teaching concepts, the learning (internalization) and the evaluation that allow teachers and students being aware of the need for emancipatory transformation”.  The teaching of biochemistry and its contents in basic education are not discussed as a structuring content within the Biology subject, but are included in related content such as cellular biology. The objective of this study was to inventory the contents and methodologies related to biochemistry taught by teachers of basic education and produce teaching-learning materials as contribution to these contents from the inventory results. The methodology was developed from the analysis of the questionnaires applied to biology teachers from public schools of Guarapuava-Pr. The results showed that the teaching of biochemistry and biology discipline, although it comes from the same area, are designed as two unattached areas, meaning there is no perception by teachers in relation to the implicit conceptual intercept in teaching Biology and Biochemistry. To this end, the profile of the game Grow was adapted using themes related to Biochemistry. The game consists of 45 cards and a game board with a track. The player who gives more write answers to the questions reaches the end and wins the match. For game evaluation participants answered a questionnaire at the end of the activity. Most of the participants argued that the process has contributed to ensure the assimilation of the contents, since it is a leisure activity with effective participation of students. Thus, the obtained data confirmed the assumption of  Pedroso (2009), which states that the games allow a significant teacher-student interaction, disseminating scientific knowledge from the views and experiences of the student.

The purpose of the current research was the implementation of didactic audiovisual and communicative resources through a virtual classroom for the teaching-learning of English language, aimed to the first level students Languages School at Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo due to the lack of didactic material helping in the development of activities and tasks into the classroom. This fact impedes teachers and students reaching a higher level in the English Language teaching-learning process, this situation made necessary the implementation of resources adaptive to the pedagogical context and planned through a content manager or virtual classroom. The current research is quasi experimental, bibliographic, documental and descriptive which was applied to a sample where it was necessary to consider an initial knowledge diagnose before applying the communicative and audiovisual resources, then it was necessary to carry out an evaluation at the end of it. It was also necessary to use a set of activities based on communicative and audiovisual resources framed within the micro curriculum guidelines with schedules and contents that were evaluated through questionnaires and a checklist. The instruments for collecting information allowed obtaining data in both pre-test and post-test. These qualifications were compared through a statistical test that allowed concluding that the use of the mentioned resources improved the English language teaching, at the same time it was possible to recommend its use within the curriculum for the First Level of the Languages Major.

This is a qualitative case study of the parental feedback about participatory assessment done during the first year (2016) of the implementation of the reformed Finnish basic education curriculum. It covered grades 1-6 and was a first time to have a broader, tri-angulated teacher-student-parent assessment on learning and schooling. Consequently, parents were selected from those grades, being of various ethnic backgrounds. This case study was conducted in a Southern Finland basic education school. Resulting trends were obvious: parents regarded this kind of participatory assessment meaningful. Second, the newer the whole schooling and curricula update was for parents, the better was the participatory feedback. As a result of this study, it is clear that while the discussion and longitudinal studies on learning and assessment are still on-going, there is no rush to return into an old system and heavy, centralized assessment instruction patterns. On the contrary, this study showed beneficial elements and development triggers towards even more collaborative and encouraging assessment.

Historically speaking, the teaching of English was never a part of Brazilian primary schools programmes. Foreign language teaching as an obligatory school subject appears only in the sixth year of basic education, and its goal is more connected to the development of critical citizens, rather than to the promotion of proficient speakers of the language. Recently, however, a number of municipal public educational systems, often in partnership with private language institutes, have introduced ELT from the very first year of primary school. This is the case, for example, of the project Rio Global Child 2016, created by the City of Rio de Janeiro in partnership with Cultura Inglesa, a well-known private English institute in Brazil. What I intend to do in this paper, thus, is: firstly, to present an historical overview of ELT in Brazilian public schools, discussing its educational relevance and functions, the challenges faced by teachers and students, and both the beliefs and debates concerning the issue (cf. Almeida, 2012; Assis-Peterson, 2003; Moita Lopes, 1996; Tílio, 2012) – including also a first account of the Brazilian cities involved in the implementation of ELT in primary schools; and, then, to discuss critically Rio de Janeiro’s project for the teaching of English in primary schools. Such a discussion is necessary not only because it may help to understand better the risks of adopting a single method (and its materials) for teaching in contexts that can be extremely different from one another, but also because other projects and experiences may benefit from an honest account of the problems faced by the association of private and public spheres and interests exemplified by Rio’s project.

Celtic traditional musics, such as those originating in Ireland and Scotland, are typically transmitted outside formal avenues. Most studies regarding the learning of Celtic traditional music have focused on the experience of teachers and students, but less is known about the philosophies of organization directors who create contexts for teacher–student interactions. In an effort to fill this gap, this qualitative interview study examines the perspectives of nine directors of organizations located in Europe and North America dedicated to teaching Celtic traditional music. Analysis showed that directors perceived the aural transmission of the music as helping students connect with each other and build community. Further, directors’ beliefs about history tended to motivate their decision-making processes toward fostering community as part of their pedagogical practice. The learning goals they set for students tended to emphasize these intangible goals over and above technique- or repertoire-related aims, with social skills being included in their definitions of “musicianship.” Implications are raised regarding meaning-making and beliefs about history in Celtic traditional music communities.

ResumenLa forma en la que los docentes ejercen sus prácticas pedagógicas repercute con fuerza sobre el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje. Es por eso que los docentes con mejor desempeño contribuyen en la creación de condiciones óptimas para el aprendizaje a partir de un entorno crítico natural, en el que se vale de sus  destrezas para dar un mejor uso a  la información que ellos quieren enseñar mediante estrategias que los estudiantes encontrarán atrayentes. Por otra parte, los estudiantes suelen distinguir entre sus profesores los que ejercen su labor con mayor empeño y efectividad. En este sentido, el objetivo central de la investigación consistió en caracterizar las prácticas pedagógicas de los docentes mejor evaluados  por sus alumnos en la  UFPS. El estudio se abordó desde  el paradigma cualitativo, para lo cual se utilizó un  diseño  descriptivo de caso. Los sujetos de investigación fueron cinco docentes, uno de cada facultad  y cuarenta y tres estudiantes que tomaron asignaturas con estos docentes. En la recolección de información se utilizaron dos técnicas: relatos de vida  y entrevistas semiestructuradas, se indagó sobre las percepciones que tienen los docentes y estudiantes  sobre las  prácticas pedagógicas. Los hallazgos de la investigación reflejan que las prácticas de los docentes mejor evaluados se caracterizan por ser disciplinadas, planificadas y comprometidas, identificándose que los docentes no se apegan a nivel teórico y pedagógico a un modelo pedagógico determinado. También se encontró que los atributos reconocidos por los estudiantes como propios de un buen docente son la puntualidad, la responsabilidad, el compromiso y la actualización disciplinar y pedagógica. En conclusión, las altas evaluaciones de los docentes por parte de sus alumnos están soportadas en la flexibilidad y la relación docente estudiante.Palabras claves: desempeño docente, práctica pedagógica, modelos pedagógicos Underlying conceptions and models in the pedagogical practice of teachers whose performance is the best evaluated by university studentsAbstractThe way teachers utilize their teaching methods has a strong impact on the teaching-learning process. Therefore, teachers who perform better in the classroom create the optimal conditions for learning from a critical natural environment, in which the teachers may apply their skills to employ teaching skills that utilize the information they want to teach, so that students may find their lessons more appealing. Nevertheless, students tend to easily identify which of their professors teach with greater effort and effectiveness. Accordingly, the central objective of this study was to characterize the teaching practices of the UFPS professor’s which scored highest on the students’ evaluations. The investigation was consistent with the qualitative paradigm, for which a descriptive case study design was used. The research subjects were five teachers (one from each faculty) and forty-three of their students. There were two techniques used to collect data: semi-structured interviews and hearsay, both concerning the perceptions that teachers and students have about teaching methods. The findings of the research demonstrate that the methods of the teachers with the more positive student evaluations are characterized by discipline, planning and commitment. The study also identified that all the teachers, on both a theoretical and educational level, did not stick to any particular pedagogical model. It also found that the attributes, as recognized by the students, of a good teacher, are punctuality, responsibility, being committed, disciplined and having a determined teaching approach. In conclusion, the students’ high ratings of their teachers are founded in both the adjustibility and the student-teacher relationship.Keywords: teaching performance, teaching methods, pedagogical models  Concepções e modelos subjacentes na prática pedagógica de professores cujo desempenho é o melhor avaliado pelos estudantes universitáriosResumoA forma como os professores exercem suas práticas pedagógicas tem um forte impacto no processo ensino-aprendizagem. É por isso que os professores com melhor desempenho contribuem para a criação de condições ideais para aprender a partir de um ambiente crítico natural, que usa suas habilidades para fazer melhor uso da informação que eles querem ensinar  através de estratégias que os estudantes encontrarão atraente. Por outro lado, os alunos muitas vezes distinguem entre seus professores aqueles que exercitam seu trabalho com maior esforço e eficácia. Nesse sentido, o objetivo central da pesquisa consistiu em caracterizar as práticas pedagógicas dos professores melhor avaliados pelos alunos na UFPS. O estudo foi abordado a partir do paradigma qualitativo, para o qual foi utilizado um desenho de caso descritivo. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram cinco professores, um de cada faculdade e quarenta e três alunos que cursaram assuntos com esses professores. Na coleta de informações, foram utilizadas duas técnicas: histórias de vida e entrevistas semiestruturadas, e as percepções que os professores e alunos têm sobre práticas pedagógicas foram investigadas. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que as práticas dos melhores professores avaliados são caracterizadas por serem disciplinadas, planejadas e comprometidas, identificando que os professores não aderem a um modelo pedagógico específico a nível teórico e pedagógico. Verificou-se também que os atributos reconhecidos pelos alunos como pertencentes a um bom professor são a pontualidade, responsabilidade, compromisso e atualização disciplinar e pedagógica. Em conclusão, as avaliações elevadas dos professores por seus alunos são apoiadas na flexibilidade e na relação professor-aluno.Palavras-chave: desempenho docente, prática pedagógica, modelos pedagógicos

Introduction: Teacher-student relationship is very important element in education to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning process. There are multiple factors affecting this relation. If we analyze these factors and take measures to improve these, there will be better relation; and teaching learning will be improved. Materials & Methods: This descriptive type of cross-sectional study was carried out in obstetrics and gynaecology department of selected medical colleges of Bangladesh. Five government & three non-government medical colleges were selected purposively situated both in Dhaka and outside during the period of July 2017 to June 2018. Total 170 students and 30 teachers were responded through self-administered semi-structured questionnaire with five points Likert scale. 20 teachers were responded through in-depth interview schedule. Quantitative data analyzed by SPSS version 19. Qualitative data analyzed manually. Results: Study revealed that multiple factors were related to the relation among medical teachers and students. Mutual respect, empathy, Good listening skill, mutual respect, sharing expectation, self-disclosure, awareness about own role are the most important influencing factors in this relation (mean score >4). Use of drugs/tobacco, speech difficulty, love affair of students, negatively affect communication. Study also revealed barriers of relation fear and shyness, language barrier and discrimination of students by the teachers. Friendly relationship, open minded behavior, student- teachers cooperation, open discussion, morality and religious practice, motivation of by teachers, understanding each other’s, avoidance of student’s politics, responsibility of students & teachers, teachers training with reduced workload have great impact on removing these barriers. Conclusion: Addressing these issues at all possible levels, proper measures should be taken to improve relation among teachers and students; so that teaching learning process can be enhanced and ultimate goal of medical education can be achieved.

Teaching mathematics as a concept formation process requires rethinking the teacher's role, the conditions for organizing pedagogical work, the way of thinking, feeling and acting in education, the characteristics and interests of students. It needs the entire school community's involvement, presenting the content in a contextualized way, through a problematic situation, compatible with a real situation, which has elements that give meaning and construction to the mathematical content. This work sought to broaden the understanding of contextualization in the teaching of mathematics since working with content that is not related to the context in which the student is inserted is not attractive. To this end, a survey was conducted based on a semi-structured interview with the teachers and students of that school, in addition to observations and pedagogical practice. According to the results, the teachers' conceptions are identified and perceived, showing that the methodologies used by them in a contextualized way provide meaningful learning, since teaching is an active, evolving process about contextualization and its contribution to the learning of the students of this school, the research also shows how the contextualized teaching of mathematics is evaluated and the importance of bringing innovative, motivating and meaningful situations to classrooms. Therefore, it is understood that Contextualized Education in the teaching of mathematics enables the construction of the student's knowledge according to his reality, mainly due to the applicability of Mathematics, stimulates creativity, investigation, critical analysis of results and contributes significantly to the teaching-learning process.

Visa a dois objetivos, ambos ilustrados com dados escolares do município de Niterói (RJ). O primeiro consiste em uma proposta metodológica para avaliar a oferta de vagas no ensino fundamental de forma a manter escolarizados todos os jovens na faixa de 7 a 14 anos. O segundo consiste em avaliar a distribuição espacial das escolas da rede pública, identificando regiões com excesso e/ou escassez de vagas. O caso estudado apresentou a surpresa de encontrar uma população escolar bastante superior à população demográfica, sugerindo a migração de alunos de outros municípios. Quanto à distribuição espacial das escolas, o estudo apontou as poucas áreas em que haveria necessidade adicional de vagas, mas destacou que, nos bairros onde predomina a população de classe média, poderá haver forte escassez, se tais segmentos optarem pela escola pública. Palavras-chave: localização de escolas; rede escolar; ensino básico; capacidade da rede. Abstract This work has two objectives, both illustrated with schooling data of the municipality of Niterói, State of Rio de Janeiro. Firstly, a methodology is proposed to evaluate the capacity of the public system to offer basic education to all the population in the 7-14 age range. Secondly, the location of the public schools is evaluated in order to identify areas with shortage or excess of school places. The surprising finding of the study was that the enrolled population is larger than the demographic one. The possible explanation would be the migration of students from neighboring municipalities. Regarding school location, the study has identified a few areas in which additional school places would be desirable but emphasized the fact that scarcity would be serious in the districts where the middle classes predominate if such class members would demand the public system rather than the private one. Keywords: school location; capacity of the school system; basic education; school network.

We seek to investigate the challenges and possibilities of quilombola teaching practice and, in a more restricted way, reflect on the initial and continuing education of teachers, and identify advances in quilombola teaching practice in times of pandemic. Therefore, we adopted a qualitative and explanatory approach from the perspective of Historical-Cultural Theory to understand the reality and engender discussions on continuing education, use of technologies and mediation of the teaching and learning process. The information was collected through an online questionnaire using the Google Forms application, applied to 55 teachers from the Kalunga quilombola region in the state of Goiás. Our study showed the lack of investment in quilombola teacher training; the importance of teacher/student interaction; the collaborative teaching work enriches the pedagogical practice by providing the exchange of experiences and that the use of technological resources in education was essential, in order to ensure the continuity of the process, however, it was one of the factors responsible for the marginalization of teachers and students during teaching remote emergency.
