ResumoAlfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), naturalista inglês conhecido por seus estudos sobre a seleção natural, teve sua primeira expedição na Amazônia. De 1848 a 1852, observou e descreveu fauna, flora, geologia e grupos humanos que ali habitavam e abordou a temática da distribuição dos animais, apontando os limites de alcance das espécies e sua relação com o meio. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar, a partir de livros e artigos relativos ao período, como essa noção do limite de alcance das espécies foi abordado por Wallace e sua importância para a formulação de conceitos biogeográficos e de seleção natural. Houve ainda a construção e aplicação de uma sequência didática no ensino de biologia. Com o material analisado, apresentou-se para os estudantes um processo de construção de uma ideia, valendo-se de textos originais. A sequência didática iniciou-se com alunos do Ensino Médio, lendo trechos escritos por Wallace, com passagens que descrevem o limite de alcance de espécies amazônicas. Em seguida, tiveram que formular hipóteses sobre tais observações. Posteriormente, houveram aulas sobre o histórico do pensamento evolutivo e conceitos de seleção natural. Na finalização, incentivou-se os estudantes a refletirem sobre o processo de construção de ideias na ciência, de forma contextualizada e participativa. Verificou-se que os estudos de Wallace colaboram de forma relevante para o ensino da evolução e história da ciência, apontando a necessidade de novas abordagens nesse tema.Palavras-chave: História da ciência; Alfred Russel Wallace; Amazônia; distribuição de animais; ensino de biologia. Abstract(Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), an English naturalist known for his studies on natural selection, had his first expedition to the Amazon. From 1848 to 1852, he observed and described fauna, flora, geology and human groups who lived there and addressed the issue of distribution of animals, pointing out the limits of range of the species and its relationship with the environment. The objective of this study was to analyze, from books and articles for the period, as this notion of species range limit was approached by Wallace and its importance for the development of biogeographic concepts and natural selection. There was also the construction and application of a didactic sequence in the teaching of biology. With the material analyzed, was presented to the students a process of constructing an idea, using original texts. The didactic sequence began with high school students, reading excerpts written by Wallace, with passages that describe the limits of the range of Amazonian species. They then had to formulate hypotheses about such observations. Later, there were classes on the history of evolutionary thinking and concepts of natural selection. Upon completion, students were encouraged to reflect on the process of constructing ideas in science in a contextualized and participatory manner. It was verified that the studies of Wallace collaborate in a relevant way for the teaching of the evolution and history of science, pointing out the necessity of new approaches in this subject. Keywords: History of science; Alfred Russel Wallace; Amazônia; distribution of animals; teaching of biology

Theory Of Numbers

This book is the first volume in a new series on the history of science, and is a clearly written, historically oriented introduction to the theory of numbers. It is written in a witty style especially suitable for high school students, and encourages its readers to think about numbers in an adventuresome, exploratory manner.

This study first approaches the history of the observer’s gaze, that is, as observers, we are forming or constructing our way of visualizing moving images. Secondly, it reaffirms the importance and need of resistance of the teaching / learning of Art as a compulsory curricular component for high school. Finally, the third part reports an experience with video art production in a class of first year high school students, establishing an interrelationship between theory and practice, that is, we study video art content to reach the production of videos, aiming as a final result, the art videos created by the students of the Reference Center in Environmental Education Forest School Prof. Eidorfe Moreira High School. The first and second stages of this research share a theoretical part of the Master ‘s thesis, Making films on the Island: audiovisual production as an escape line in Cotijuba, periphery of Belem, completed in 2013.

The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of introduction of the physical computing strategy of Arduino Boards in a program design course on coding literacy and the effectiveness of the application in technical high school students. This study selected two classes of twelfth-grade students enrolled in a program design course at a technical high school in Southern Taiwan as the samples. One class was the control group (43 students), and the other was the experimental group (42 students). During the 18-week course, the control group carried out a DBL (design-based learning) programming project, and the experimental group carried out the DBL programming project using the physical computing strategy of Arduino boards. Pre- and posttests and a questionnaire survey were carried out, while ANCOVA (analysis of covariance) was used for evaluation purposes. In the course, students in the experimental group were randomly selected for semi-structured interviews to understand their learning status and to perform qualitative analysis and summarization. This study proposed the physical computing strategy of Arduino boards, featuring staged teaching content, practical teaching activities, and real themes and problem-solving tasks. The results show that the coding literacy of students in the different teaching strategy groups was significantly improved. However, in the Arduino course on DBL programming, the students in the experimental group had a significantly higher learning efficiency in coding literacy than those in the control group. Moreover, according to the qualitative analysis using student interviews, Arduino boards were found to improve students’ motivation to learn coding and to aid in systematically guiding students toward improving their coding literacy by combining their learning with DBL theory. Thus, Arduino technology can be effectively used to improve students’ programming abilities and their operational thinking in practically applying programming theories.
