O presente artigo apresenta uma revisão teórica sobre a temática da violência e do bullying em contexto escolar, sustentada na análise alargada de diversas fontes documentais, publicações e literatura científica da especialidade, de vários autores de referência, almejando uma aprofundada compreensão e uma adequada contextualização teórica do fenómeno em estudo. Trata-se da primeira etapa de um trabalho de investigação em desenvolvimento no âmbito da referida problemática, no Centro de Estudos das Migrações e das Relações Interculturais (CEMRI), da Universidade Aberta de Lisboa, Grupo de Investigação “Saúde, Cultura e Desenvolvimento”. O trabalho objetiva identificar, compreender e , analisar  os processos inerentes à construção da violência e da exclusão social no  meio escolar português. Pretendemos, também, aferir as principais causas e consequências dos comportamentos violentos em contexto escolar, assim como definir possíveis formas de prevenção e estratégias de intervenção/atuação, nomeadamente através dos contributos da educação intercultural. Para realizar este estudo, ainda em elaboração na sua vertente empírica, optámos pelo método de investigação qualitativa. Escolhemos realizar um estudo de tipo descritivo, na categoria de estudo de caso. Assim, propomo-nos estudar o caso de uma escola do primeiro ciclo do ensino básico, de um agrupamento de escolas do distrito de Setúbal, situada numa zona urbana do concelho do Seixal. Palavras-chave: Violência.

The study aims to identify, to know, analyze and understand the processes involved in the construction of violence and social exclusion in portuguese schools. We also intend to assess the main causes and consequences of violent behavior in schools, as well as finding ways to prevent violence and defining intervention strategies / actions, namely through contributions of intercultural education. To carry out this study, still in progress in its empirical part, we have chosen the qualitative research method. We chose to perform a descriptive study, in the case study category.

Abstract Today’s society has valued entrepreneurship in various sectors of personal and professional life, but the school seems to forget this reality. Aware of this fact, the Portuguese Ministry of Education has created a program, from early childhood education to basic and secondary education, to develop the concept of social entrepreneurship in schools. The Porto Polytechnic Higher School of Education, as an educator of teachers and teachers of the First and Second cycle of Basic Education, joined the European UKIDS project to integrate this theme in the initial and continuous teacher training. In this article we will analyze the data obtained from a UKIDS Portuguese Partner School in the context of continuing teacher education and present some conclusions. The qualitative methodology used allowed us to conclude that the UKIDS project enhanced the valorization of individual capacities, such as creativity, self-confidence, the power of argumentation, as well as the construction of social competences, in interpersonal and group relationships, which are crucial in the formation of a child’s personality in the basic school learning process.

Este artigo apresenta um estudo realizado na disciplina de Trabalho de Curso em Matemática, do Curso de Matemática – Licenciatura, da Univesidade de Santa Cruz do Sul – UNISC, o qual originou-se a partir do intuito de estudar como se constitui a aprendizagem em diferentes níveis de escolaridade em relação aos cálculos diários presentes em seus contextos, desde sujeitos que frequentaram a escola por um curto período até os que possuem formação básica completa. Os procedimentos adotados basearam-se no estudo de caso, na aplicação de  questionários e na problematização de uma situação prática com os sujeitos da pesquisa, possibilitando verificar o cenário em que estão inseridos e quais as relações que são estabelecidas entre a matemática, suas aplicações e vivências.This article presents a study performed for the graduation task of the course of Mathematics in the University of Santa Cruz do Sul and aims to study how learning is acheved at different levels of education in relation to the daily calculations present in their contexts: from subjects who attended school for a short period to those with complete basic education. The study is based on qualitative research, application of questionnaires and problematization of a practical situation with the participants, taking in consideration methods such as case study. From this study one may observe that the people dominate the mathematical contents that are necessary to them, besides that this learning is a construction from the social coexistence.

The condition of the state border area between Indonesia and Malaysia is totally different. Children of Indonesian Workers (TKI) have no (limited) access to learn in formal schools since they do not have citizenship documents. This study aims to analyze the implementation of basic education mission in the border area, particularly in Sebatik island, Nunukan regency, North Kalimantan province. In addition, the research was conducted using qualitative explorative approach. Problems arising at the border area are very diverse and systemic. The Indonesian government conducts the education in border areas still very limitedly. The role of the public, corporate and private companies (Three Net Working) becomes very important in operating the schools in border area. The role of a former lecturer who is famously called Mrs. Midwife Suraidah is very dominant in helping TKI’s children to learn a variety of knowledge in Sekolah Tapal Batas (Tapal Batas School) in Sebatik island, Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan province. Some help from companies such as Pertamina (national oil mining company), Dompet Dhuafa foundation and volunteers who are willing to be teachers strongly support the continuously of Tapal Batas School. The continuity of basic education in the state border becomes a challenge for the government since the purpose of the country written in the opening of Constitution 1945 is the intellectual life of the nation can be realized by implementing it in Nawacita program.
