The study of space in the school discipline of Geography is very important for the development of a clear interpretation of the various spatial nuances. With this in mind, this article had the research initiative to address the concept of geographic space in geographic education, going beyond the student's everyday reality and going beyond other spatial analyzes, and also to demonstrate didactic practices for teaching this concept with students. This study is based on a literature review, qualitative approach and dialogue on practical interventions applied in the school context. In this expectation, the work intends to contribute with a richer and more geographic thinking, teaching and learning. Since the teaching of geographic space brings the dimension of other themes and concepts, the expression accurately the relationship between society and nature and establishes a vision of the lived, conceived and represented, allowing the georeferenced vision of the student.

A GIS is a tool for working with geographic information. Therefore, its primary purpose is to maintain data about geographic space. A GIS application deals with spatial information on a computer. GIS software presents earth features on a computer and then uses GIS to visualize, question, analyze, and understand this data about the world and human activity. Often this data is viewed on a map. This chapter shows the relationship between geographical information technology and society and provides educators and policymakers with a basic understanding of GIS, its relevance to teaching and learning, and suggest possible ways for implementing GIS technology in the classroom. This means that GIS has an educational agenda to meet, since this technology presents several opportunities for teachers to implement learner-centered approaches for various subjects.

A geografia é muitas vezes vista no senso comum como um conjunto de conhecimentos sobre as caraterísticas de lugares, regiões e/ou territórios. Ao mesmo tempo, no ambiente acadêmico ainda são recorrentes as reflexões acerca da natureza epistemológica desta ciência. Este artigo é fruto de uma pesquisa de doutorado em geografia em andamento e pretende contribuir com as reflexões sobre as relações entre saberes científicos e escolares. Quais devem ser os propósitos e objetivos da educação geográfica realizada em contextos escolares? O que a educação geográfica apresenta de singular do ponto de vista epistemológico e que a diferencia de outros campos do conhecimento, disciplinas e visões do senso comum? As reflexões presentes neste trabalho se somam a outras publicações recentes na geografia brasileira e britânica que apontam para a importância da espacialidade dos fenômenos como ponto de partida para um raciocínio realmente geográfico. Palavras-chave Educação geográfica, Geografia escolar, Raciocínio geográfico.   SPATIALITY AND THE PURPOSES OF GEOGRAPHICAL EDUCATION Abstract Geography is often seen in common sense as a body of knowledge about the characteristics of places, regions and / or territories. At the same time, reflections on the epistemological nature of this science are still recurring in the academic environment. This article is the result of an ongoing PhD research in geography and aims to contribute to reflections on the relationship between scientific and school knowledge. What should be the purposes and objectives of geographic education carried out in school contexts? What is unique about geographic education from an epistemological point of view and what differentiates it from other fields of knowledge, disciplines and common sense views? The reflections present in this work are added to other recent publications in Brazilian and British geography that point to the importance of the spatiality of phenomena as a starting point for a truly geographic thinking.

Considerando que boa parte dos professores tem apresentado dificuldades ao ingressarem no magistério, especialmente quanto à compreensão do seu papel social e de como tratar questões de ensino e aprendizagem na escola, este trabalho teve como objetivo discutir o papel e a configuração da didática na formação de inicial de professores. A pesquisa assume-se numa abordagem qualitativa e numa perspectiva hermenêutica. As técnicas utilizadas foram a entrevista e o questionário aplicados a professores de didática geral e específica em universidades federais de cinco regiões do Brasil. Os resultados demonstram que a didática ensinada nas licenciaturas nas cinco regiões do país se configura como uma didática “geral”, com exceção de uma instituição. Essa didática geral considera como condição de seu ensino metodologias diversificadas e ativas para ensinar conteúdos considerados clássicos, como: Tendências Pedagógicas; Trajetória histórica da Didática. Currículo; Planejamento e Avaliação, além de outros conteúdos, como Formação e Identidade Docente. A conclusão aponta para a necessidade de articulação e configuração da didática enquanto uma área nas licenciaturas, na qual fariam parte todas as disciplinas que discutem os processos de ensino, inclusive as didáticas específicas. Como área, a didática teria possibilidade de viabilizar melhor a relação entre teoria e prática como um dos instrumentos para formar o professor mais consciente do seu papel social, e melhor preparado para atuar nas salas de aulas.Palavras-chave: didática; didática específica; formação de professores.DIDACTICS AREA CONFIGURATION IN TEACHING’S DEGREE: for beyond a general or specific didacticsAbstractConsidering that the majority of teachers has presented difficulties when joining the mastership, especially in understanding their social role and how to deal with issues of teaching and learning in schools, this work has as its objective to discuss the role and configuration of Didactics in the initial formation of teachers. The research is based on a qualitative approach and in a hermeneutic perspective. The techniques used were the interview and the questionnaire applied to teachers of General and Specific Didactics in federal universities of Brazil’s five regions. The results showed that the Didactics taught in teaching’s degree of these five regions is configured like General Didactics, excepting one institution. This General Didactics considers as condition of its teaching diversified and active methodologies to teach content considered classic, such as: Pedagogical Tendencies, Historical Trajectory of Didactics, Curriculum, Planning and Evaluation, besides other subjects, such as Teacher Formation and Identity. The conclusion points to the necessity of articulation and configuration of Didactics while an area in teaching’s degree in which all the subjects that discuss the learning process would be part of it, including Specific Didactics. As an area, Didactics would have the possibility of better enabling the relationship between theory and practice as one of the instruments to form teachers more conscious of their social role and better prepared to act in classrooms.Keywords: didactics; specific didactic; teachers formation.CONFIGURACIÓN DEL ÁREA DE DIDÁCTICA EN LAS LICENCIATURAS:además de una didáctica general o específicaResumenPor considerar que buena parte de los maestros han presentado dificultades al ingresar en el magisterio, especialmente en cuanto a la comprensión de su papel social y de como tratar cuestiones de enseñanza y aprendizaje en la escuela, este trabajo hubo como objetivo discutir el papel y la configuración de la didáctica en la formación inicial de maestros.

The paper seeks to investigate the level of productive knowledge of ESL learners, the writing quality and the relationship between the vocabulary knowledge and the writing quality. 150 final year students of English language in a university in Nigeria were randomly selected as respondents. The respondents were asked to write an essay of 300 words within one hour. The essays were typed into Vocab Profiler of Cobb (2002) and analyzed the Lexical Frequency Profile of the respondents. The essays were also assessed by independent examiners using a standard rubric. The findings reveal that the level of productive vocabulary knowledge of the respondents is limited. The writing quality of the majority of the respondent is fair and there is a significant correlation between vocabulary and the witting quality of the subjects. The researchers posit that productive vocabulary is the predictor of writing quality and recommend various techniques through which teaching and learning of vocabulary can be improved.

<?page nr="1"?>Abstract This article investigates the ways in which service-learning manifests within our neoliberal clime, suggesting that service-learning amounts to a foil for neoliberalism, allowing neoliberal political and economic changes while masking their damaging effects. Neoliberalism shifts the relationship between the public and the private, structures higher education, and promotes a façade of community-based university partnerships while facilitating a pervasive regime of control. This article demonstrates that service-learning amounts to an enigma of neoliberalism, making possible the privatization of the public and the individualizing of social problems while masking evidence of market-based societal control. Neoliberal service-learning distances service from teaching and learning, allows market forces to shape university-community partnerships, and privatizes the public through dispossession by accumulation.

In the relationship between teachers and distance learning in the context of COIVD-19, a series of unprecedented dynamics have emerged relating to a process of open-air experimentation that is going on in the world of school. The main constructs investigated in this paper concern the professional perceptions of teachers in terms of their skills and resistances towards digital technologies. To investigate this topic, a questionnaire on distance learning was administered to a sample of 658 teachers. From a methodological point of view, factor and reliability analyses and correlation and regression analyses were conducted. From the analysis of the results, it emerged that the questionnaire measures the resistance of teachers to distance learning and focuses on three main dimensions (two positive and one negative) that link teachers’ perceptions to the resistance to distance learning. In conclusion, the theme of the acceptance of technologies in the practice of teachers is still a subject full of meaning for professional perception and vision. A second issue concerns precisely the relationship between digital technologies and users, which must no longer focus only on the relationship with students but also on the perspective of the other training actors, including teachers.

<p class="norm">The aim of this article is to shed some light on patterns of and major motives for the adoption of different types of disruptive learning innovations by Unisa academics. To realise the aim of the study, the following questions were addressed: What are the reasons for adopting disruptive learning innovations? What is the level of interaction with disruptive innovations? What training do Unisa academics require on disruptive innovations? A qualitative approach was adopted by conducting focus group interviews with 76 Unisa academics. The data was analysed using open and axial coding, where dominant themes from the discussions were identified and discussed in detail. The findings show that the interaction of Unisa lecturers with different technologies varied from technology to technology. The study also found that disruptive innovations play a pivotal role in opening avenues and collapsing the transactional distance in an ODL institution. Some lecturers lack skill in using some technology, which is a cause for concern. Therefore, lecturers need to be trained in using technology and develop a good understanding of it to improve teaching and learning.</p>

AbstractStandard definitions posit the sign as a discrete entity in relation with other signs and standing for an object (either physical or psychological). Thus the sign has two roles, as prompt and as substitutive representation. The latter raises difficult questions about the relationship of the semiotic to the non-semiotic or pre-semiotic, which can be resolved logically (as in Peirce) or rejected as unanswerable (as in Saussure), but which can never be satisfactorily resolved empirically as the phenomenal cannot be divorced from the semiotic. This impasse can be resolved if we drop the assumption that the sign is essentially substitutive. The assumption of discrete entities, at either the phenomenal or the noumenal levels, is a function of discredited substance metaphysics. On a process metaphysical account, the reality of the sign is not attached to the discreteness of any pre-existing entity. The sign remains as prompt and as relational but not (other than sometimes with respect to other signs) substitutive. Rather than defined as standing for an object, the sign can now be regarded much more simply as a feature of an event. This conception of the sign is explored in terms of its implications for teaching and learning.
