The Face

The interconnectedness of nations and peoples worldwide is changing the face of art education. While some scholars aspire to global education that will encourage students to become engaged in creating a more just and peaceful world, others warn that global education is tied to a neoliberal ideology and must be approached with caution. This chapter will provide a discussion of the promises and challenges of infusing global civic learning into a public school art education environment and address how global civic learning might be situated in a local context in order to avoid some of the possible pitfalls. Then, through a review art education literature, the chapter will make suggestions for the types of curricular endeavors (service learning, ethnography, ecology, and public art) that have successfully been able to situate global civic learning in local environments.

Intermediate Phase students in the Bachelor of Education programme who elect art as one of their majors often experience problems in the teaching of art at schools during teaching practice. To overcome this problem, a service-learning project was designed by which students were granted the opportunity to teach art to children from a children’s home. This project proved to be a valuable component in curriculum studies in the fourth year of Art Education. To determine in which way and to what extent art lessons contribute to the development of children and students, a case study was conducted. Data were obtained from studying their conduct and the results of their work. Additional data were drawn from interviews with caregivers at the home and discussions with children to determine to what extent art classes had an effect on their lives. Student evaluations and interviews upon completion of the project provided data which emphasised the reciprocal nature of this service-learning project. Considering the data, inferences can be drawn about the value of service-learning to learners and students, accompanied with suggestions for the future development of the project.

This paper traces the history of United Board‘s engagement with service-learning through higher education in Asia and reflects on the recent discussion about the relevancy of service-learning activities to today‘s higher education system. Through a close review of the experience shared in recent projects sponsored and organized by United Board in the last five years, service learners from colleges and universities around Asia all testified an process that deepens both cognitive and affective learning, generating in service-learning actors-faculty, students and community members-a connection that could inspire and sustain their vision and passion for life. Despite the seemingly still marginalized status of service learning programs and faculty in most higher education institutions, educators believing in whole person education only find service-learning ever more important in the face of higher education that has been increasingly trapped by the ranking race.

Altitudinal gradients are characterized by steep changes of the physical and biotic environment that present challenges to plant adaptation throughout large parts of the world. Hybrid zones may form where related species inhabit different neighbouring altitudes and can facilitate interspecific gene flow and potentially the breakdown of species barriers. Studies of such hybrid zones can reveal much about the genetic basis of adaptation to environmental differences stemming from changes in altitude and the maintenance of species divergence in the face of gene flow. Furthermore, owing to recombination and transgressive effects, such hybrid zones can be sources of evolutionary novelty. We document plant hybrid zones associated with altitudinal gradients and emphasize similarities and differences in their structure. We then focus on recent studies of a hybrid zone between two Senecio species that occur at high and low altitude on Mount Etna, Sicily, showing how adaptation to local environments and intrinsic selection against hybrids act to maintain it. Finally, we consider the potential of altitudinal hybrid zones for generating evolutionary novelty through adaptive introgression and hybrid speciation. Examples of homoploid hybrid species of Senecio and Pinus that originated from altitudinal hybrid zones are discussed.

Introdução: O basquetebol é um dos conteúdos que mais tem tendência a ser excluído da Educação Física escolar, mesmo diante de um cenário de hegemonia esportiva. Objetivo: Apresentar as possibilidades do trato com o basquetebol a partir das dificuldades encontradas na escola, enquanto os objetivos específicos são: conhecer a experiência prévia de alunos da escola pública com o basquetebol e experimentar uma proposta de ensino da modalidade através do jogo. Métodos: Esta pesquisa tem natureza qualitativa e se caracteriza por ser uma pesquisa-ação. Ela foi realizada numa escola pública recifense, e teve como sujeitos de pesquisa estudantes do 6º e 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental. Resultados: O ensino do basquetebol através do jogo proporcionou maior interesse, entusiasmo e participação nas atividades; houve uma participação de forma distinta entre meninos e meninas; a estrutura precária da escola interferiu no ensino do conteúdo. Conclusão: A ida a campo mostrou que o conhecimento dos estudantes sobre o basquetebol é limitado, muitas vezes sendo resumido em conhecer nomes de alguns jogadores. A proposta de ensino através do jogo se mostrou eficiente e atrativa, pois trouxe situações de imprevisibilidade e também aproximação com jogos que fazem parte do cotidiano dos estudantes. Isso indicou que mesmo com as dificuldades da escola, é possível oportunizar o acesso a este conhecimento. ABSTRACT. Basketball teaching experience from school daily problems: results of an action research. Background: Basketball is one of the contents that tends to be excluded from School Physical Education, even in the face of a scenario of sports hegemony. Objective: To present possibilities of teaching basketball from difficulties found in the school. The specifics objectives are: to know the previous experience of public school pupils with basketball and to try a teaching proposal of the sport through the game. Methods: This research has a qualitative nature and is characterized as an action-research. It was performed in a public school in Recife, and it had pupils of 6th and 7th year of Elementary School as subjects of the research. Results: The teaching of basketball through game provided greater interest, enthusiasm and participation of students in activities; there was a distinct participation between boys and girls; the precarious school structure interfered in the teaching of content. Conclusion: The visits in school showed the students’ knowledge of basketball is limited, often summarized to knowing famous players’ names. The teaching proposal through the game was efficient and attractive, as it brought situations of unpredictability and also approaching games that are part of students’ daily lives. This indicated that even with the difficulties in the school, it is possible to give access to this knowledge.

Information And Communication

The rapid development of science and advances in advanced technology have implications for the rhythms of human communication. A very striking implication is that people are increasingly free and easy (easy access) in obtaining information and knowledge, including in the field of education. The global education environment is seen in several ways to provide solutions to other gaps and problems through the soaring distributed learning opportunities. Learning process activities with the help of information and communication technology take place not only applied limited by space, location or level of education such as at school or college, but can be done in many different places and involve a lot of people. Learning methods from learners that are not limited to time and place are called information and communication technology based learning. Learning media that can be used in distance learning are: computers, television, radio, internet, voice recordings, and VCD tapes.

Abstract Background COVID-19 has profoundly impacted the healthcare education environment and telemedicine has been used to augment face-to-face learning and support social-distancing. There is little evidence which examines how patients feel about participating in teaching with this technology. Method A prospective survey of 229 surgical inpatients/outpatients was conducted at a university hospital between August–September 2020. The survey consisted of 31 questions (7-point Likert scales, quantitative items, and free-text answers) to explore: general attitudes towards teaching, attitudes towards COVID-19, perceptions of face-to-face teaching and perceptions of telemedicine teaching. Relationships between demographics and areas of interest were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively. Results Patients reported a positive attitude towards both face-to-face (mean 5.5 [1.1SD]) and telemedicine teaching (5.4 [1.2]) however there was a preference for the face-to-face approach (mean difference [MD]=.16, p = 0.14). Face-to-face teaching was found to be less bothersome (MD=.32, p=.002) and more rewarding (MD.33, p<.001). Older patients were more likely to report both teaching techniques as embarrassing (face-to-face r=.16, p=.048; telemedicine r=.15, p=.036) or as an infringement on their privacy (face-to-face r=.13, p=.048; telemedicine r=.17, p=.017). Qualitative analyses revealed four themes of the patient experience: apprentice role of students, communication skills, transient need for telemedicine during COVID-19 and privacy concerns. Conclusions Despite reporting a favourable impression of telemedicine teaching, patients prefer traditional face-to-face styles as they find telemedicine more bothersome and less rewarding. Educators should take this into consideration during planning of teaching during the pandemic.

Resumo Este artigo trata da forma como professores e alunos do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública da cidade Manaus entendem a discussão sobre a educação sexual e sexualidade em um espaço no qual se busca o conhecimento e aprendizagem. Considerou-se necessário explorar esse tema em face das polêmicas e os tabus envolvidos neste assunto. O profissional da escola responsável por discutir esse assunto com os alunos, na maioria das vezes, é o professor, sendo que poucos possuem capacitação para tratar do assunto. A pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender a percepção dos adolescentes e professores a respeito as atividades voltadas para a sexualidade e educação sexual conduzidas em uma escola pública da cidade Manaus. Esta pesquisa teve uma abordagem qualitativa-quantitativo, caráter descritivo e de campo, sendo o instrumento utilizado, um questionário. A partir dos resultados foi possível identificar que os professores buscam dialogar com a temática com suas respectivas disciplinas, entretanto, o tema ainda gera interpretações equívocas por parte dos alunos, mostrando assim que os professores não estão capacitados adequadamente para a condução dos debates e discussões voltadas para o assunto. Os adolescentes entendem que o debate sobre a sexualidade e educação sexual são importantes para o esclarecimento e redução de preconceitos. Entende-se que esta pesquisa oferece uma reflexão a respeito do assunto para que sejam reformuladas as propostas de educação sexual e discussão da sexualidade no ambiente escolar. Palavras-chave: Preconceitos. Alunos. Professores. AbstractThis article deals with how teachers and high school students from a public school in the city of Manaus understand the discussion about sexual education and sexuality in a space where knowledge and learning are sought. It was considered necessary to explore this theme due to the in the face of controversies and the taboos involved in this subject. The school professional responsible for discussing this subject with students, most of the time, is the teacher, and few have training to deal with the subject. The research aimed to understand the adolescents’ and teachers’ perception regarding activities related to sexuality and sexual education conducted in a public school in the city of Manaus. This research had a qualitative-quantitative, descriptive and field approach, and the instrument used was a questionnaire. From the results it was possible to identify that teachers seek to dialogue with the theme with their respective subjects, however the theme still generates misinterpretations on the part of students, thus showing that teachers are not adequately trained to conduct debates and discussions aimed at the subject. Adolescents understand that the debate about sexuality and sex education is important for clarifying and reducing prejudices. It is understood that this research offers a reflection on the subject so that the proposals for sexual education and the discussion of sexuality in the school environment are reformulated. Keywords: Prejudices. Students. Teachers.
