AbstractGrounded within current reform recommendations and built upon Giere’s views (1986, 1999) on model-based science, we propose an alternative approach to science education which we refer to as the Evidence-Explanation (EE) Continuum. The approach addresses conceptual, epistemological, and social domains of knowledge, and places emphasis on the epistemological conversations about data acquisitions and transformations in the sciences. The steps of data transformation, which we refer to as data-texts, we argue, unfold the processes of using evidence during knowledge building and reveal the dynamics of scientific practices. Data-texts involve (a) obtaining observations/measurements to become data; (b) selecting and interpreting data to become evidence; (c) using evidence to ascertain patterns and develop models; and (d) utilizing the patterns and models to propose and refine explanations. Throughout the transformations of the EE continuum, there are stages of transition that foster the engagement of learners in negotiations of meaning and collective construction of knowledge. A focus on the EE continuum facilitates the emergence of further insights, both by questioning the nature of the data and its multiple possibilities for change and representations and by reflecting on the nature of the explanations. The shift of emphasis to the epistemics of science holds implications for the design of learning environments that support learners in developing contemporary understandings of the nature and processes of scientific practices.

Given the limited number of documents addressing methodological context in higher education with a rigorous approach, this chapter comprises a document drawn up in order to clarify methodological concepts. It emphasizes the importance of the teaching-learning process and the significance of placing the student at the center of all actions. The educator's mission changes from being a mere transmitter of information to being a conductor and organizer of the learning situation. To achieve this, several methods must be combined, requiring a balance between the theoretical and practical classes. Likewise, they can be benefited by carrying out complementary activities. This combination is intended to face the great challenges of higher education in the 21st century, which are driven by changes in the way students learn. The emergence of technologies means that the protagonist in the collective construction of knowledge is the student, responding to their digital and participatory demands.

O artigo teve como objetivo mapear os conteúdos em redes sociais sobre a nutrição infantil e BLW, visando compreender como se organizam enquanto comunidades de aprendizagem. A metodologia utilizada foi do tipo explicativa de abordagem mista. Na coleta de dados, foram analisadas 6 comunidades do Facebook e 4 perfis do Instagram com representatividade na temática nutrição infantil. Resultados: O quantitativo de postagens por mídia nas 10 comunidades ocorreu da seguinte forma: Texto 6.543 postagens (63%); Imagem 3.250 postagens (31%); Vídeo 647 postagens (6%). O Instagram apresentou mais postagens de imagens do que textos; ao contrário das comunidades de aprendizagem do Facebook que produzem maior quantidade de conhecimento por meio de textos narrativos. Notou-se que os perfis do Instagram possuem número maior de seguidores em relação aos grupos do Facebook, porém a quantidade de postagens é menor, o que condiz com o estilo de utilização dessas redes sociais. O Facebook, por formar grupos, apresenta maior interatividade com os usuários, ao contrário do Instagram que apresenta uma rede social mais passiva e com a maior parte dos usuários observando e curtindo postagens. As comunidades de aprendizagem em redes sociais demonstraram que são espaços efetivos para apoio e construção coletiva de saberes com grande potencial de expansão nas áreas de educação e de saúde. Essa aprendizagem se dá, principalmente. por meio de trocas colaborativas e construção interativa de conhecimento.AbstractThis article aimed to map the contents on communities in social networks about the children’s nutrition and BLW,  aiming to understand how are organized while communities of learning. The methodology used was of the explanatory type and mixed approach. The data collection of the research was carried out online and 6 communities of Facebook and 4 Instagram profiles were selected with great representativeness in the theme of children’s nutrition and BLW. Results: The number of postings per media in the 10 communities occurred as follows: Text 6.543 posts (63%); Image 3,250 posts (31%); Video 647 posts (6%). Instagram presented more pictures posts than texts unlike Facebook's learning communities, that produce more knowledge through narrative texts. It was noted that Instagram profiles have more followers in relation to Facebook groups, but the number of posts is lower, which is consistent with the style of use of these social networks. The Facebook for to form groups has more interactivity with users, opposite of  Instagram that presents a more passive social network and with the majority of users observing and enjoying postings. In relation to the objective of the research that was to map the content present in social networks on child nutrition and BLW. The learning communities in social networks have proved to be effective spaces for support and collective construction of knowledge with great potential for expansion in the areas of education and health.Keywords: Social networks.

In this research we approach the use of Active Methodologies in the teaching of Physical Education. The general objective is to know the contributions of the active methodologies in the development of the teaching and learning process in Physical Education classes. The research was elaborated in a critical line of investigation using the qualitative approach. This is a bibliographic study with the steps: choice of theme, preliminary bibliographic survey, interpretative textual analysis and problematization. It is structured in subtopics that discuss the theme. It is noteworthy that the active methodologies are based on ways of developing the learning process, using real or simulated experiences, aiming at the conditions to successfully solve challenges arising from the essential activities of social practice in different contexts, because they are based on teaching strategies based on a critical and reflective pedagogical conception that allow reading and intervention on reality, favoring the interaction between the different actors of the process and valuing a collective construction of knowledge and its different knowledge and learning scenarios. In addition, they are practices that stimulate creativity in building problem solutions and promote freedom in the process of thinking and acting.

As humanity, we suffer the disconnection and separation from life as a whole. This rupture, imposed by the predominant systematic paradigm during the last four hundred years, has led us to forget the holistic vision preserved by ancient cultures. This situation is also prevalent in our educational systems, controlled by the rote fragmented education, which is distant from life and from the existence and feelings of those who are learning. To overcome the current planetary crisis, it is urgent to recover the holistic vision of both life and learner, where the educational university processes are essential components for the development of professionals committed with the plenitude of life on earth. The essence of this essay is to reflect about the importance that has, for the improvement of the current planetary crisis, the recovery of our connectivity with life on earth, synchronized with the learning processes, because learning processes and vital processes mean the same thing. This essay is divided in three moments. The first one originates from the exchange of beings, knowledge, feelings and experiences, to recover our lost connection with life on earth. The second moment starts with the introduction of reflections and conceptualizations, by means of the collective construction of knowledge, with the support of specialists in the holistic vision and the processes of peer-learning, which are so necessary to save life as a whole. The third moment of this essay is explained with proposals, key ideas, symbols and signs for the connection of the vital processes, in sync with the necessary learning processes in the current times.

Collective construction of scientific knowledge is doubtless a major accomplishment of humankind. Sharing of information is a manner of inviting the interested community to participate at each step of such construction. Thus, publication of scientific articles must be regarded as an essential activity or means, because it communicates the results of the work of one or more researchers, in turn based on previous shared knowledge. In this regard, scientific journals play an important role as one of the means of communication. However, they are not merely passive vehicles, but one of the steps of the construction of knowledge itself. ... Inconsequent, irresponsible and unstructured freedom of expression and rigid censorship refractory to anything new are both noxious to any community. Although reaching a balance between extremes is a universal goal, we discover how much we missed the point only when we act and assess the consequences of our actions. In this regard, science is no different from any other field of human action.

As práticas de educação em direitos humanos (EDH) buscam a formação do sujeito de direito, conjugando as esferas cognitivas, dos valores e das ações. Por isso, sua adoção como política pública é essencial à democracia e ao Estado de Direito. Embora seja uma nova área do conhecimento, seu âmbito de atuação tem possibilitado importantes experiências. Em Pernambuco, o trabalho de inserção da EDH na rede pública estadual de ensino desenvolveu-se de forma mais sistemática a partir de 2007. Objetivou-se com este artigo analisar em que medida as práticas de EDH no ensino formal se articulam e fomentam processos de democratização nas escolas pernambucanas. Com base nos dados deste estudo foi possível inferir que as ações e metodologias de EDH adotadas estimulam a participação, a autonomia e o estabelecimento de relações mais horizontais na construção coletiva do conhecimento. Consequentemente, tais relações vêm contribuindo para algumas transformações no espaço escolar, que tendem a propiciar melhores condições para que este ambiente esteja permeado por processos de democratização.Palavras-chave: Educação em direitos humanos. Ensino formal. Processos de democratização. HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION AND PROCESSES OF DEMOCRATIZATION IN  FORMAL SCHOOLINGAbstract: The practices in Human Rights Education (HRE) pursue the formation of the subject of law, combining the spheres of cognition, values and action. Thus, to adopt them as public policy is vital to democracy and to the Rule of Law. Although it is a new area of knowledge, its field of action has been facilitating important experiences. In the State of Pernambuco, the insertion of HRE in the public school system was a process that started its systematic development as of 2007. This paper aims to analyze whether the practices of HRE in formal schooling are articulated and if they encourage processes of democratization in the schools of Pernambuco. It was possible, based on the data provided by this study, to assume that the adopted actions and methodologies of HRE motivate participation, autonomy and the establishment of horizontal relations in the collective construction of knowledge. Therefore, they contribute in some of the transformations that are happening in the space of school, that tend to propitiate better conditions so that processes of democratization may pervade this atmosphere.Keywords: Human rights education.

This paper analyzes the pedagogy of transmission, with its unidirectional nature and features that it has in common with traditional media, and the pedagogy of interaction, one of participation, dialogue and co-authorship which harmonizes with the principles of Web 2.0. New media have implemented new communication models that allow every citizen to become a potential media communicator. This communicative ecosystem suggests a society of communicators in which everyone feeds each other with his or her creations and shares individual and collective knowledge. We review communication practices that utilize feedback as a strategy of interaction, when in fact these practices still favor the perspective of the sender. We then propose a model for the collective power of knowledge called the «feed-feed model», based on the individual and collective construction of knowledge. This knowledge, which can be organized in a virtual or real setting, characterizes the fundamental principles of interactivity, even though some sectors still view these as marketing strategies. We examine the virtual silence that exists in the culture of participation, and its implications for educommunication. The article concludes with a search for other pedagogical models, and the analysis of the consequences of perpetuating the transmission model in the face of the possibilities offered by the pedagogy of interaction. En este artículo se analizan la pedagogía transmisiva, caracterizada por su sentido unidireccional, que tiene algunos rasgos comunes con los medios de comunicación, y la pedagogía interactiva, caracterizada por la participación, el diálogo, la coautoría que tiene rasgos comunes con los principios de la Web 2.0. Los nuevos medios ponen en práctica modelos comunicativos que permiten que cada ciudadano pueda ser, potencialmente, un medio de comunicación. Este ecosistema comunicativo permite pensar en una sociedad de comunicadores donde todos alimentan con sus creaciones y participaciones los saberes individuales y colectivos. Se hace una revisión de las prácticas comunicativas que utilizan la retroalimentación (feed-back) como estrategia de interacción, cuando en verdad no dejan de ser un refuerzo planteado desde la óptica del emisor, y se ofrece una propuesta centrada en la alimentación de saberes colectivos que denominamos «modelo feed feed», basado en la participación individual y colectiva para la construcción de conocimientos. Estos saberes, que pueden organizarse presencial o virtualmente, caracterizan los principios fundamentales de la interactividad, que para algunos sectores no deja de ser una estrategia de marketing. En la cultura de la participación se hace referencia al silencio virtual y a sus consecuencias en el campo de la educomunicación. El artículo concluye con las búsqueda de otros modelos pedagógicos, y con el análisis de las consecuencias que implicaría seguir reproduciendo el modelo transmisivo frente a las posibilidades que ofrece la pedagogía de la interactividad.
