This paper discusses the issue of educational management in a challenging scenario: the closing of Brazilian schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through an exploratory research, in a documentary character, the articulating role that educational management has been developing together with the families of students was evaluated, with the aim to guarantee their access to remote activities during this period, and their maintenance and organization by part of higher departments. Under the clipping of two official documents of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Deliberation No. 376 of the State Council of Education of the state and Resolution No. 5843 of the Secretary of State for Education, it was possible to identify a greater concern with access to content, either through technological mediation or printed material and with “supervision” of teachers and students, to the detriment of strengthening aspects relevant to democratic and participatory management. No references to management or direction were found in the documents under analysis, nor ways to consolidate the participation of all actors involved in the teaching-learning process. The absence of dialogicity with all parties led us to a traumatic and exhausting process for everyone involved. Therefore, the need to rethink the pedagogical practices involved in this pandemic period is discussed, based on the difficulties listed by students, families, teachers and managers, in order to consolidate the contribution of all, in a democratic way, even if there is no social interaction between those involved at the time.

Behaviour is usually named as a main and the essential educational stimulus in the lesson. Due to the pupils’ inappropriate behaviour is common to blame their unwillingness to learn, laziness or period of adolescence. Teachers are usually looking for various types of abnormal behavior and other disorders in their pupils. Students who had teacher‘s assistant practice at schools were observing pupils and their teachers interaction in lessons. The observed lessons’ data show that lots of impact for pupil’s behaviour has teacher’s personality, the ability to communicate, respect and interact with them. The appropriate teaching organization, the competence to explain the aims and goals of the task, ability to select suitable teaching / learning methods, didactic attitude, the ability to control emotional intelligence and ect. According to reports of students, who had pedagogical teacher’s assistant practice at these schools, teachers not always give well suited teaching material. It doesn’t correspond to the pupils in his / her needs, interests, and expectations. Thy don‘t want and can‘t concentrate attention for 45 minutes. Sometimes happen when the teacher has wrong planned lessons, then pupils waste their time because simply they don‘t have what to do. The results show that very low percent of pupils work effectively, have high quality knowledge and learning results. In many cases teachers do not create positive learning environment, fail to ensure emotional security by threatening to write negative marks, to send away from classroom or end the lesson. Teachers usually don’t pay enough attention for their pupils for many reasons. They prefer treating these who are more motivated to study or are going to take the exam of the curriculum. Behaving in this way teachers make all conditions for unwillingness to study and provoke inappropriate activity of their students during lessons. In such conditions the educators don’t involve pupils of all social groups. It means that integration doesn’t work for children with the special needs. Also doesn’t work so called the inclusive education. Thy do not ensure pleasant microclimate in the classroom and suitable educational environment. The observation results state that some educators of these schools acted inadequate by writing negative marks for the students who tried to show inappropriate behaviour. Also we should emphasize that some teachers and students, who had teacher’s assistant practice, lack abilities to adapt their pedagogical and psychological knowledge in their work with pupils. They lack of abilities to control the audience, to interact with the pupils. Also they lack skills of working in a stratified society.

Now-a-days many English language teachers are resorting to what is called “blended teaching/learning” in an endeavor to incorporate information technology into their pedagogical practices. They often use virtual platforms like Moodle and Google Classroom to supportand supplement their physical classroom teaching, which transcends the routine constraints of traditional educational system. In their capacity, teachers and students may engage in necessary interactions “anytime anywhere”, adding extra momentum to the teaching-learning process. English language teaching (ELT) may be specially facilitated by such features as constant connectivity, anytime feed-backing, assignment creation, submission and grading, file sharing, virtual interaction and collaboration, etc. Here is an attempt to delineate some important features of Moodle and Google Classroom, two useful technological tools, in the light of the author’s experience as a teacher.

The study analyses the scope and role of Bloom’s Taxonomy in reforming teaching-learning practices in the classroom. Bloom’s Taxonomy propounds that teaching-learning process and assessment items should transcend beyond lower domains of learning i.e. remembering, understanding and applying to the higher domains of learning namely analysing, evaluating and creating. However, this study establishes that teacher always teach in accordance with the normative assessment patterns and students also learn accordingly. In this case, if assessment system is predominantly focused on lower domains, the teaching-learning practices will never transcend to higher domains. This study employs Bloom’s Taxonomy to categorise and analyse each item included in the annual question papers designed by the Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur and Mirpurkhas for the subject of English for grade XII. At Sindh province level, it has been found that 74% is exhausted for the lower domains whereas only 26% is used for higher domains. Given to the normative assessment practices, teachers and students would remain focused only on the lower domains, but by altering the course, the pedagogical practices and teaching-learning process in Sindh province can remarkably be reformed and transformed from sheer memorization and rote-learning to critical thinking, solution-making, knowledge-building process and analytical skills

Resumo: Alguns educadores e educandos estão descontentes com o atual sistema de ensino. Com as inúmeras transformações sociais a maneira de ensinar e aprender também foram modificando ao longo dos anos, assim tanto professores quanto alunos percebem algumas práticas pedagógicas como desatualizadas. Sabemos que as transformações são inevitáveis e necessárias, todavia o desafio fica estabelecido para os professores que necessitam adequar ensino, aprendizagem, tecnologias e sociedade às suas práticas diárias mudando ou reformulando sua didática. Dessa forma o presente artigo objetiva enfatizar a importância da didática, através de discussões acerca das linhas pedagógicas, da formação do professor e do papel da didática proporcionando reflexões que permitam novos olhares sobre o ensino-aprendizagem.  Mediante a esse contexto para lecionar é necessária formação didática? O domínio do conteúdo é mais importante para o desempenho do professor do que a didática? Apresenta-se um estudo de abordagem qualitativa através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica. Conclui-se, dessa forma, que como disciplina importante e fundamental a didática conduz o trabalho, unindo teoria e prática permitindo um processo de aprendizagem significativa.Palavras-chave: Didática; prática; formaçãoAbstrat: Some educators and students are unhappy with the current education system. With the countless social changes, the way of teaching and learning have also changed over the years, so that both teachers and students perceive some pedagogical practices as outdated. We know that transformations are inevitable and necessary, however the challenge is established for teachers who need to adapt teaching, learning, technologies and society to their daily practices by changing or reformulating their didactics. Thus, this article aims to emphasize the importance of didactics, through discussions about pedagogical lines, teacher training and the role of didactics providing reflections that allow new perspectives on teaching-learning. Through this context, to teach is didactic training necessary? Is the mastery of content more important for teacher performance than didactics? A study with a qualitative approach is presented through a bibliographic search. It is concluded, therefore, that as an important and fundamental discipline, didactics conduct the work, uniting theory and practice allowing a meaningful learning process.Keyword: Didactics - practice - training

Este artigo teve como objetivo compreender como alunos e professores percebem e avaliam o clima escolar de uma determinada instituição educativa particular, no referente à dimensão “As relações com o ensino e a aprendizagem”. O clima pode ser considerado uma representação da escola, uma vez que, a partir das percepções e sentimentos de seus membros, reflete sua cultura, as práticas, normas e valores ali presentes, assim como a qualidade das relações interpessoais e a aprendizagem dos alunos. Apresentando um clima que lhe é único, cada escola, ao conhecê-lo, pode identificar o que está bom e o que precisa ser melhorado e, apoiada no reconhecimento de sua própria realidade, fomentar ações pontuais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, do tipo estudo de caso, com abordagem quantitativa, da qual participaram 417 estudantes, sendo 214 do Ensino Fundamental II (7º ao 9º ano), 203 do Ensino Médio e 35 professores da comunidade educativa, os quais responderam a questionários que avaliam o clima escolar. Os resultados apontam aspectos da escola participante que são percebidos de modo consensual pelos professores e estudantes como positivos, como as boas expectativas depositadas nos alunos e a reafirmação do compromisso dos professores com as atividades escolares e dos alunos. Porém, há outros em que comparecem divergências e, ainda, aqueles que são convergentes, mas que ambos os públicos reconhecem como mais frágeis. Dessa forma, mediante o diagnóstico levantado, a comunidade escolar terá elementos que culminarão num projeto compartilhado, a fim de prover encaminhamentos necessários com intervenções, visando à melhoria do ambiente escolar.TEACHING AND LEARNING AND ITS INTERFACE WITH THE SCHOOL CLIMATE: perceptions of students and teachers of elementary and high school educationAbstractThis article aimed to understand how students and teachers perceive and evaluate the school climate of a particular educational institution in relation to the dimension "The Relations with teaching and learning". The Climate can be considered a representation of the school, once from the starting of the perceptions and feelings of its members, reflects its culture, the practices, norms and values present there, as well as the quality of interpersonal relations and students' learning. By presenting climate that is unique, each school, by knowing it, can identify what is good and what needs to be improved and, supported by the recognition of its own reality, promote punctual actions. In the case of being an exploratory research, of the case study type, with a quantitative approach, 417 students participated in this study, 214 of Elementary School II (7th to 9th grade), 203 of the High School and 35 teachers of the educational community, which answered questionnaires that evaluate the school climate. The results point to aspects of the participating school that are perceived in a consensual way by the teachers and students as positive, such as the good expectations placed on the students and the reaffirmation of the commitment of the teachers to the school activities and the students. However, there are others where there are divergences and even those that are convergent, but which both audiences recognize as more fragile. Thus, through the diagnosis raised, the school community will have elements that will culminate in a shared project, in order to provide necessary referrals with interventions, aimed at improving the school environment.Keywords: School climate.

This article discusses the main findings and conclusions from my field research evaluating education reform in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Data collection was done during two exploratory research trips to Salvador, the state capital, in 2001 and in 2005. The Bahian Education Reform, initiated by the state government in 1999 and funded to a great extent by the World Bank, has achieved some very significant goals, most importantly the expansion of high school education and the broadening of access to primary education in areas where access was far from universal. My research nevertheless points to some sever shortcomings, namely with regard to the situation of Afro-Brazilians. Structural racism provides one of the strongest explanations for this shortcoming. Structural racism in Bahia lowers teachers' and principals' expectations about the potential for academic achievement of poor Afro-Brazilians; structural racism widens the gap between students and principals, contributing to a mutual alienation of this two groups and jeopardizing the creation of strategic alliances and synergies inside schools; and it alienates schools from neighborhoods, impeding meaningful community and parental involvement in school management. Finally, the low recognition that public teachers receive from society as a whole, reflected by low salaries, and a general lack of institutional incentive structures that reward outstanding performance and sanction under-average performance have transformed Bahian public education into a desperado system, where the motivations of teachers and students are systematically grinded and their hopes frustrated.

The pandemic situation at the beginning of March 2020 forced teachers to develop alternative teaching methods, and most important to find the best ways to keep teaching for every student no matter the situation, as for example, the lack of computer knowledge or hardware/software support. Teachers worldwide struggled to support, encourage, find the best ways not only to help students to keep learning but support them emotionally. At the end of the academic year, teachers made efforts to develop fair, appropriate evaluation procedures adapted to distance education. This paper summarizes the Distance Teaching-Learning-Evaluation (DTLE) evolution in Russia and Romania and some methods developed from March to December 2020 to support the educational activity. Some benefits, challenges and difficulties are identified during the same period of time in different DTLE scenarios, from the point of view of teachers and students, as well. Examples of new adapted methods, dedicated to the DTLE scenarios are al-so addressed in this work.
