The formal curriculum practices in engineering education have been rethought in order to meet the growing demand for the development of the more traditional skills, as well as newer multidisciplinary skills for the students, making them protagonists in their own development and forging the curriculum through concrete activities (curriculum in action) that go beyond the prescribed curriculum. As a fundamental part of this process, a project was developed by students and professors of the Chemical Engineering course, where the Project-Based Learning methodology was applied. During the traditional curriculum course "Operations and Processes Laboratory", students were able to work with the curriculum in action through four main activities that required the application of technical knowledge linked to communication skills and problem solving, adaptation to reality, proactivity and analytical ability. The development of competences and skills by the students was analyzed based on the reports they presented as a result of their group projects and summarized in a matrix of general engineering competences, based on the Brazilian National Curriculum Guidelines. Through this matrix it was possible to conclude that the students solved the real problem situations using the technical knowledge learned at the University, while taking into account the relevant economic, environmental and social aspects. They defined the theme of their work, goals and the methodology to be developed with complete autonomy. They exercised creativity and used multidisciplinary skills to seek solutions and adapt resources, acquiring equipment and supplies, developing and building adaptively, while utilizing the tools at their disposal. They exercised the analytical capacity to elucidate the results and present improvements and also introduced digital technologies to facilitate communication and other processes.

This chapter outlines the historical background and current development of music education assessment in China. Following the revision of the national curriculum guidelines in 2011, the chapter analyzes (1) the value of the national standards at different school levels, (2) how the national standards affect teachers and schools, and (3) how much the teachers read/follow the guidelines in China. This chapter investigates and examines how assessment policy and practice are used in Chinese music classrooms from elementary, middle, and high schools. Furthermore, it discusses how local music teachers assess their music students and the effectiveness of the national curriculum guidelines used in music classes. The author determines that the current practice of music assessment at all school levels in China is too basic and not diversified. Designing a valid assessment that allows students at all levels to demonstrate their learning outcomes seems to be necessary for music education in China.

RESUMOEste trabalho buscou trazer a trajetória das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais de Educação Física, com o propósito de apontar as transformações da Educação Física enquanto área de formação. Para alcançarmos este objetivo, utilizamos como metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica, analisando documentos e bibliografias relacionadas ao período da implementação da Educação Física (inicialmente conhecida como Ginástica) no cenário escolar aos dias atuais, com a nova Diretriz no ano de 2018. Após esta análise, observamos que o curso de Educação Física sempre serviu a interesses sociais adversos e constatamos que este curso se encontra num momento de total incompatibilidade curricular com as diretrizes nacionais que o baseiam, ou seja, discrepância entre documentos gerados pelo mesmo órgão (Conselho Nacional de Educação). Por este motivo, torna-se o momento propício para debates onde a classe de trabalhadores(as) de Educação Física consigam caminhar em prol do conhecimento amplo e crítico para todos(as), fomentando uma base fortificada e unida num propósito de uma Educação Física ampliada em seus conhecimentos e atribuições, sem interesses exclusivos do mercado de trabalho.Palavras-chave: Diretrizes. Currículo. Educação Física. ABSTRACTThis work sought to bring the trajectory of the National Curriculum Guidelines for Physical Education, with the purpose of pointing out the transformations of Physical Education, as a training area. To achieve this goal, we used bibliographic research as a methodology, analyzing documents and bibliographies related to the period of implementation of Physical Education (initially known as Gymnastics) in the school scenario to the present day, with the new Guideline in 2018. After this analysis, we note that the Physical Education course has always served adverse social interests and we note that this course is at a time of total curricular incompatibility with the national guidelines on which it is based, that is, discrepancy between documents generated by the same body (Conselho Nacional de Educação) . For this reason, it becomes a propitious moment for debates where the class of Physical Education workers is able to walk in favor of broad and critical knowledge for all, fostering a fortified and united base in a purpose of Physical Education expanded in their knowledge and duties, without exclusive interests in the labor market.Keywords: Guidelines.

Abstract: Introduction: The palliative care (PC) approach is a care modality recommended by the World Health Organization. Suffering and the process of dying are present in everyday clinical practice, affecting people with life-threatening diseases. However, the predominant model of teaching in Brazilian medical schools does not include palliative care. Objectives: The aim of the study was to get to know the Brazilian medical schools that include PC in their curriculum, and how it has been taught. Methods: Descriptive and exploratory study, carried out by searching for medical schools with disciplines in PC, through the analysis of the course syllabi available in the curricular matrices on the official websites of higher education institutions from August to December 2018. They were analyzed considering the offered period of the PC content, workload, scenario, and type of discipline (elective or mandatory). Results: 315 schools registered with the Ministry of Education were found, and only 44 of them (14%) offer courses in PC. These schools are distributed throughout 11 Brazilian states, of which 52% are located in the Southeast region, 25% in the Northeast, 18% in the South, 5% in the Midwest, and none in the North region. The predominant modality of the type of discipline in PC was mandatory in 61% of schools. Most Brazilian medical schools are private entities (57%), a similar percentage to the total number of medical schools identified with the teaching of PC. This course takes place in the 3rd and 4th years of the course; in most schools, the workload was 46,9 hours. The predominant scenario is the classroom, while some institutions provide integration between teaching community service and medical practice. The program contents are diverse, including thanatology, geriatrics and finitude, humanization, bioethics, pain, oncology and chronic diseases. Conclusion: PC education in Brazil is insufficient, which represents a barrier to the training of doctors in line with the recommendations of international entities, the National Curriculum Guidelines and legal frameworks within the scope of SUS. Investments by medical entities and government agencies are necessary to increase teaching in PC and the consequent qualification of medical training.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo abordar e analisar a formação da identidade pessoal e social da criança na Educação Infantil estabelecidos nas atuais Diretrizes e Referenciais Curriculares Nacionais da Educação Infantil. Procura, também, identificar a importância das brincadeiras e suas interações, dos brinquedos para o desenvolvimento da formação desta identidade e do papel do professor e da professora nesse processo. Esta pesquisa configura-se como exploratória qualitativa e tem como procedimento técnico a análise dos documentos legais como o Referencial Curricular Nacional para a Educação Infantil: formação pessoal e social (BRASIL, 1998), as Diretrizes curriculares nacionais para a educação infantil (BRASIL, 2010) e os Brinquedos e brincadeiras nas creches: manual de orientação pedagógica (BRASIL, 2012). Entendemos que os textos e as diretrizes legais, mesmo sendo referências nacionais, são significados no seu contexto e, por mais que se procure universalizar práticas, estas só se revelam na ação dos próprios sujeitos que o compõem e lhe dão sentido e significado. Ou seja, por mais que as diretrizes ou as orientações legais sejam prescritivas e universais, quem dá sentido ao texto e ao conhecimento é o próprio sujeito que o vive. Palavras-chave: Identidade. Criança. Formação pessoal e social. Brinquedos.ABSTRACTThis article addresses and analyzes one of the objectives of Early Childhood Education established in the current National Curriculum Guidelines and Frameworks for Early Childhood Education, which is the formation of the child’s personal and social identity. It emphasizes the importance of the games, toys and their interactions for the development of the formation of the personal and social identity and the role of the teacher in this process. This research is configured as a qualitative and thematic research as an analysis of legal documents as the National Curricular Reference for Childhood Education: personal and social formation (BRASIL, 1998), National Curricular Guidelines for Early Childhood Education (BRASIL, 2010), The toys and games in the nursery: pedagogical guidance manual. (BRAZIL, 2012). We understand that texts and legal laws, even if they are national references, are meaningful in their context and therefore are universal practices, these are revealed in the action of more rigorous than the right of speech and meaning. That is, as rough as legal guidelines are prescribed and universal, what gives meaning to the text and to knowledge is the subject who lives.Keywords: Identity. Child. Personal and social formation. Toys.

AbstractProblem/project-based learning is the base for the new curriculum at the department of Biotechnology and Chemical Engineering, Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. The problem based learning concept, in connection with practical solutions for organizing the courses, is discussed. The new way to pursue studies in biotechnical and chemical engineering has meant a significant change for both students and educators. A positive response from the students can be seen in the form of augmentation of motivation and activity. Team skills have improved, as well as independent study capacity. Cooperative teaching and being more of a facilitator than a traditional instructor, challenge the role conceptions for the educators.
