Este artigo apresenta resultados de pesquisa de mestrado em Educação que procurou fomentar processos de ensinar-e-aprender Química com base em saberes presentes no cotidiano dos educandos, com o objetivo de problematizar relações de complementaridade entre o saber científico e o saber popular. A pesquisa ancorou-se nos princípios teórico-metodológicos da Educação Popular e da Etnociência e foi realizada em diálogo com educandos de um curso técnico em Química na cidade de Jundiaí-SP. Como procedimentos metodológicos foram desenvolvidos encontros de problematização e planejamento de práticas educativas, rodas de conversa e participação em uma feira científica. A análise dos relatos dos educandos revelou sua motivação e seu engajamento na construção dialógica de novos conhecimentos por meio da conexão entre saberes científicos e populares. A abordagem dialógica do ensinar-e-aprender Química possibilitou questionar as práticas educativas bancárias, ainda fortemente arraigadas no contexto dessa disciplina, e suscitou reflexões sobre a importância de incorporar temas significativos oriundos do cotidiano dos educandos, favorecendo sua participação e seu protagonismo no processo de construção de conhecimentos.

Teaching-and-learning Chemistry in the perspective of dialogicand problematizing education AbstractThis paper presents results of a Master’s research in Education that sought to foster processes of teaching and learning Chemistry considering knowledge present in the routine of the students with the objective of problematizing relations of complementarity between scientific knowledge and popular knowledge. The research was anchored in the theoretical-methodological principles of Popular Education and Ethnoscience and was carried out in dialogue with students of a technical course in Chemistry in the city of Jundiaí-SP. As methodological procedures were developed meetings of problematization and planning of educational practices, circles of conversations and participation in a scientific fair. The analysis of the students’ reports revealed their motivation and commitment in the dialogical construction of new knowledge through the connection between scientific and popular knowledge. The dialogical approach of teaching-and-learning Chemistry allowed the questioning of banking educational practices, still deep-rooted in the context of this subject, and raised some reflections about the importance of incorporating generative themes originating from the routine of the students, providing their participation and protagonism in the process of knowledge construction. Keywords: Popular Education. Ethnoscience. Generative themes. Teaching-and-learning Chemistry.

This text was written from a workshop with young people from the city of Novo Hamburgo in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. We problematized the youths and their perspectives of future in an interface of education and work. The study uses the methodology of systematization of experiences to analyze the practices with eight young people in the workshop "Young People in Action" by approaching the themes: future, education and work and thus identify which elements are determinant for creating expectations for the future. The theoretical framework has an important contribution from popular education and sociology. We found that: the school and the family are structural tests that circumscribe the future expectations of young people; the young ones also presented dissonance in their tendencies as to what believe or act and they do not seem to have the habit of making plans about the future. The systematization of experiences showed to be very powerful, since it allows a constant movement of teaching and learning through practice.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a relação entre a reestruturação urbano-industrial e os conflitos na conservação do patrimônio industrial de Campinas. A análise privilegia o final dos anos 1970 até 2014, anos de intensificação dos processos destacados. Nossa pesquisa teve como procedimentos metodológicos: revisão bibliográfica, trabalhos de campo, entrevistas, pesquisa documental, produção cartográfica. O estudo mostra que, em Campinas, o elevado número de tombamentos associados à dimensão cotidiana do trabalho indica uma tendência política de preservação da memória trabalhadora, ferroviária e industrial. Entretanto, muitos dos tombamentos contribuíram contraditoriamente para a deterioração de exemplares do patrimônio industrial da cidade. Nesse sentido, os projetos e as ações impelidas pelos agentes produtores do espaço urbano de Campinas – o poder público municipal, os empresários, os moradores (antigos e novos), as instituições e os grupos políticos de defesa do patrimônio – evidenciam os conflitos pelos usos, funções e apropriação material e simbólica da cidade.  Palavras-chave: reestruturação urbano-industrial; patrimônio cultural; produção do espaço urbano. PRESERVE FOR WHOM? THE CONTRADICTIONS IN THE PRESERVATION OF THE URBAN-INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE IN CAMPINAS (SP) Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyze the relationship between urban-industrial restructuring and conflicts in the conservation of the industrial heritage of Campinas. The analysis privileges the late 1970s to 2014, years in which the highlighted processes were intensified. As methodological procedures, our research had: bibliographic review, fieldwork, interviews, documentary research, cartographic production. The study shows that, in Campinas, the high number of legally protected buildings associated with the daily dimension of work indicates a political tendency to preserve working, railway and industrial memory. However, many rules contradictorily contributed to the deterioration of specimens of the city's industrial heritage. In this sense, the projects and actions driven by the producing agents of the urban space of Campinas – the municipal public power, the businessmen, the residents (old and new), the institutions and the political groups for the defense of the heritage – evidence the conflicts over the uses, functions and the material and symbolic appropriation of the city. Keywords: urban-industrial restructuring; cultural heritage; urban space production. ¿CONSERVAR PARA QUIÉN? LAS CONTRADICCIONES EN LA PRESERVACIÓN DEL PATRIMONIO URBANO-INDUSTRIAL EN CAMPINAS (SP) Resumen: El propósito de este artículo es analizar la relación entre la reestructuración urbano-industrial y los conflictos en la conservación del patrimonio industrial de Campinas.

Nuestra investigación tuvo como procedimientos metodológicos: revisión bibliográfica, trabajo de campo, entrevistas, investigación documental, producción cartográfica. El estudio muestra que, en Campinas, el elevado número de edificios legalmente protegidos asociados a la dimensión cotidiana del trabajo indica una tendencia política a preservar la memoria laboral, ferroviaria e industrial. Sin embargo, muchas de las normas han contribuido de forma contradictoria al deterioro de ejemplares del patrimonio industrial de la ciudad. En este sentido, los proyectos y acciones impulsados ​​por los agentes productores del espacio urbano de Campinas – el poder público municipal, los empresarios, los vecinos (viejos y nuevos), las instituciones y los grupos políticos de defensa del patrimonio – evidencian los conflictos por los usos, funciones y apropiación material y simbólica de la ciudad.

Learning Chemistry

The process of teaching and learning chemistry is still considered difficult, for even with all the technology available for its improvement, this same issue is responsible for students’ distraction in class. The most common example are smartphones, which are devices that are increasingly versatile and have been inserted into the daily lives of almost all people. The use of mobile devices in the classroom can be a useful alternative for teachers to overcome the difficulties inherent in this process. This paper aims to present the contribution of educational android games in the process of learning organic functions at a public school in the city of Pau dos Ferros (RN). Initially, we use the Google Play Store® platform to check the availability of games dealing with organic chemistry topics. We choose four applications to be used as a supplementary methodology for solving exercises related to organic chemistry. Furthermore, we collected students’ opinions regarding the method used. We observed that these devices when used in a controlled, planned and an appropriate way can contribute to a positive approach to the motivation and interest of students during class.

Use Of Technology

The primary purpose of Brigham Young University (BYU) is to provide students with a combination of sacred and secular education often described as the “BYU experience.” Achieving this purpose is challenged by the rapid growth in Church membership and an enrollment cap of 30,000 students. To address these challenges, BYU sponsors the use of technology to bridge the gap between the increased Church membership and the number of students allowed under the enrollment caps. This institutional case study shows how these challenges have influenced the hybridization of teaching and learning for on campus (resident) and off campus (distance) students. It also describes how BYU has brought distance education to campus, and is beginning to bring campus-based educational practices to distance education.
