O presente trabalho apresenta o relato de uma atividade prática desenvolvida com alunos do Ensino Médio, visando a compreensão e a representação de conceitos geométricos e trigonométricos presentes em situações da vida cotidiana dos estudantes. A intervenção didática foi desenvolvida por bolsistas do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (Pibid), discentes de Licenciatura em Matemática, e pelo professor supervisor de área, que também era o docente titular da turma. Sua realização aconteceu em uma Escola Estadual, localizada na cidade de Cuité/PB, em uma turma do segundo ano do Ensino Médio, nos meses de julho e agosto de 2015. Com auxílio do instrumento teodolito e dos conceitos trigonométricos, os alunos conseguiram medir alturas inacessíveis de algumas estruturas que faziam parte da cidade em que residiam e da escola em que estudavam, percebendo, com isso, a importância das relações trigonométricas para a determinação das alturas encontradas. Observou-se que a demonstração da fórmula utilizada para mensurar as alturas contribuiu para que os alunos compreendessem conceitos geométricos e trigonométricos. Além disso, entende-se que a experiência relatada reforça a importância do uso de diversos instrumentos de medidas, como o teodolito, nas aulas de Matemática do Ensino Médio. Eles favorecem o processo educativo dos referidos conceitos, visto que possibilitam a contextualização de seu ensino em situações presentes na rotina dos alunos e dinamizam a ação docente.Palavras-chave: Altura.

<p>This study aims to investigate the ability of pre-service class teacher at University of Petrain solving mathematical problems using Polya’s Techniques, their level of problem solving skills in daily-life issues. The study also investigates the correlation between their ability to solve mathematical problems and their level of problem solving skills in daily-life issues. The study sample consisted of 65 female students majoring in class teacher. Data were collected using two questionnaires: the mathematical problem solving test which was developed by the researchers and daily life problem solving scale which was developed by (Hamdi, 1998). The findings indicate that students had high level skills in solving daily problems; there are no statistically significant differences in daily problem solving in relation to their academic year or high-school stream. Conversely, the findings also indicate weaknesses in students’ skills in solving mathematical problems, with no statistically significant differences among students in solving mathematical problems according to Polya’s problem solving steps. However, there were statistically significant differences in students’ performance in solving mathematical problems in relation to the mathematical topic, and in favor of measurements and algebra; in addition to statistically significant differences in students’ ability to solve mathematical problems in relation to academic year and high-school stream, but no correlation between students’ abilities in solving mathematical problems and those in solving daily problems.</p>

The establishment of links between SAGASCO Resources Limited (SAGASCO) and secondary schools in the city and country regions of South Australia has provided benefits to both the petroleum industry and to the students and teachers at the schools. Links between Penola High School in the southeast of South Australia and Hamilton Secondary School in Adelaide began in 1993 and have continued to the present. Feedback from the schools has been positive and significant. The two schools have overwhelmingly endorsed the links and have benefited both in curriculum development and in gaining a glimpse of industry operations that is not found in textbooks. The benefits from the link process has also revealed a cascade effect in which students and teachers have utilised information on the petroleum industry and incorporated it into reports, publications and texts that have been further used by the schools and the community, thus enhancing the original link process. Links with schools require stronger support by the petroleum industry to meet the needs of schools and to provide balance to the often negative profile of our industry in the community both in the immediate and longer term.

In the modern system of school education, there are approaches to the implementation of physical education content with the help of various variable modules based on the sports means use. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the variable module "Wrestling" in the physical education of high school students on the main indicators of preparedness. Material and methods. The organization of study provided that during the 2017-2019 school years in Shchyrets secondary school №1 I-III degrees named after the Hero of Ukraine Bohdan Ilkiv of Shchyrets village council we introduced an experimental module "Wrestling" into the educational process of high school students in the discipline "Physical Culture". In general, in the 2017-2019 academic years to our study were involved 53 students of 10th forms (31 boys and 22 girls). In the 2017-2019 academic year – 74 students of 11th forms (41 boys and 33 girls). We used the following methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical data of and sources of the Internet, analysis of documentary materials, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. There were selected 8 tests which determined the general preparedness, 12 tests for special preparedness. To determine the technical and tactical preparedness of students we fixed six basic groups of techniques which they had to demonstrate. Results and discussion. There are established the indicators of efficiency according to the percentage values of changes in the main groups of indicators (general, special, technical and tactical preparedness) of high school students. Finding out the level of general competencies allowed us to substantiate that there were significant changes in all indicators (p≤0.05–0.01). According to the analysis of special preparedness (competencies), we obtained a significant (p≤0.01) improvement in the results of most tests and control exercises. The percentage values can be observed significant variability in the levels of representatives’ changes in different subgroups. Conclusion. The study confirms a number of experts’ opinions that high school students need a little more time to form a sustainable level of preparedness and more profound adaptive changes in indicators of different preparedness components. The implementation of the structure and content of the variable module significantly affected the level of general and special competencies and technical and tactical preparedness of high school students (both girls and boys). However, the educational process in secondary schools cannot be equated in organizational and methodological conditions, basic tasks and the main purpose with training in sports sections

O ensino no Brasil vem sofrendo grandes transformações, oportunizadas pelas frequentes discussões que buscam aprimorar a prática docente e o aprendizado discente de forma humanizadora e democrática. Este texto busca mostrar a complexidade que a tradução do ensino de Geografia possui, principalmente em razão das divergências na criação de sinais para representar os mesmos conteúdos, uma vez que a estrutura da Língua Brasileira de Sinais não possui um consenso nacional frente às especificidades de seu público-alvo. O método empregado teve como base a observação das aulas de Geografia de alunos surdos e deficientes auditivos da Escola Estadual de Educação Especial Dr. Reinaldo Fernando Cóser, localizada no município de Santa Maria/RS, e a aplicação de uma oficina pedagógica que objetivou a alfabetização cartográfica de alunos do sexto ano do ensino fundamental até o primeiro ano do ensino médio. Como resultado, discutimos conteúdos cartográficos que mais trouxeram dificuldades de tradução, e refletimos sobre a necessidade de definir um consenso nacional para a prática didática, principalmente pela existência de regionalismos com implicações linguísticas relevantes que alteram conceitualmente os conteúdos, de forma que os professores possam utilizar os sinais de forma segura e compreensível em qualquer lugar do país.ABSTRACTThe teaching in Brazil has been undergoing great transformations, opportunized by the frequent discussions that seek to improve teaching practice and student learning in a humanizing and democratic way. This text seeks to show the complexity that the translation of Geography teaching has, mainly due to the differences in the creation of signals to represent the same contents, since the structure of the Brazilian Sign Language does not have a national consensus regarding the specificities of its target Audience. The method used was based on the observation of the Geography classes of deaf and hearing impaired students of the State School of Special Education Dr. Reinaldo Fernando Cóser, located in the city of Santa Maria / RS, and the application of a pedagogical workshop that aimed at literacy cartographic study of students from the sixth year of elementary school to the first year of high school. As a result, we discuss cartographic contents that have brought more difficulties for translation, and we reflect on the need to define a national consensus for didactic practice, mainly by the existence of regionalisms with relevant linguistic implications that conceptually alter the contents, so that teachers can use the signals in a safe way and understandable anywhere in the country.Keywords: Geography Teaching; School Cartography; Libras.
