Education In Brazil

Media have played a relevant role in society because it is through them that values and concepts of our time are incorporated by teenagers and children. It is important to un-derstand these effects as the young generation is exposed to these media and also how it would be possible to take advantage of this influence to school practices. Focused on this issue, the influence of media, in special movies, how the research in science education had been studies this trend. These work it is an art state which focuses on understands how and what kind of research related with this issue in Natural Science Education in Brazil. For this, we used the full papers presented at the ENPEC- Brazilian Conference on Research in Science Education from 1997 (date of the first meeting) to 2009 (the recently). It is expected that this knowledge will allow evaluating and redirecting these educational researches re-lated to this issue based on our results with the theme cinema and education. Key words: education and media, movies, natural science education, trends.

Science Education Standards

The requirements of Lithuanian Natural Science Education standards for a primary school are quite difficult to implement. The conducted research has demonstrated that natural science education of the primary school graduates in Šiauliai city and Šiauliai region did not correspond to national primary natural science education standards (Vilkonienė, Vilkonis ir Lamanauskas, 2005). Some researchers (Klimienė, 2001; Lamanauskas, 1996) maintain that the planned results can be achieved through integrated teaching. In their opinion the objectives and the tasks of natural science education can be implemented through regular and optimal usage of the content of various teaching subjects. The content of native language education contains the activity called subject text reading. Choosing subject texts it is purposeful to consider their content. It is an excellent possibility to integrate the knowledge of natural science into the content of native language education. Reading, discussion and the analysis of the writings presented in the article during the classes of native language would enable effective integration of the points of natural science education. The article also contains the fragments of natural science education standards, which could be purposefully used as a basis for organising integrated education/self-education, and the proposed information sources, which could be purposefully used by pupils and teachers, searching for the answers to the arisen questions. Key words: natural science education, linguistic education, integration, sources of additional information.

Self-expression is characteristic to any student and planning a drama lesson a teacher’s task is to make it very important for the student. If it turns out to be a success students will have an inner wish to improve their knowledge. The method of drama is one of the means to educate students seeking positive changes. The essence of this method is to feel the interrelation with the technology, the process of changes by means of drama signs. Drama method enables to develop abilities giving special tasks to the students with individual character and aptitudes. Each student has an opportunity to improve and seek higher level at a certain pace. Drama method is based on differentiation, the students have excellent possibilities to evaluate themselves, make conclusions, suggest technologies and make decisions. This article is an attempt to touch upon some examples how the method of drama helps to arouse students’ motivation for a peculiar subject. Besides, a teacher always tries to find links between students’ personal experience and the topic of the lesson so that the students could demonstrate their knowledge, attitude, thinking and opinion by means of drama method. All things considered, it is possible to state that the use of drama method in any lesson is a powerful tool to improve knowledge, feel open to cultural variety and establish social relations.

Education Process

There is arising several problems doing the practical or laboratory works at school. One of them is that there are no laboratories fitted separated from classes. If the teacher wants to do practical or laboratory wok he must ask the pupils to do a part of work at home. This separates the lesson; there are no possibilities to compare properly or to generalize the results of the work. The problem can be solved connecting the lessons; also, this is not always possible because of the elements of the education process organization. My experience shows that there are possibilities to do enormous spread of independent or exploratory work properly organizing the lesson, giving a chance to generalize the work and to make conclusions. When the school got the cameras for microscopes and when all of them were connected with computer the new possibilities have been arisen for education process (1 picture). There are possibilities to show microscopic objects exploring them during the lesson when computer is connected with television. This expands the possibilities of the lesson, saves the time, the work is getting more consequent (3 picture). I am presenting the one version of the lesson using the microscopic camera, computer and television in education process. The chosen structure and the methods of the lesson permit to use productively the time in the lesson. Even if there are no laboratories still there are possibilities to do and to generalize the work. The work groups having less practical working skills are doing their work properly because the information is public. There are enough time to divide the results of the resource and to compare them among the work groups. The data of the research are straighter because the micro-preparations and measurements using for counting are equal. The counting is very comfortable, undemanding for special efforts. The disadvantage of the lesson is that the lesson can be organized only when the equipment is prepared and for this teacher must spend the time. It is easier to do the work with the salt soak than with the sugar soak and this is not mirrors exactly the features of the osmosis.

A need to combine school knowledge with everyday life knowledge, skill of understanding of natural world already exists during lessons of science nature at elementary school. To show to pupils, which information, news, skills are particularly important, useful and indispensable for far education, revision lessons be led. Teachers know that these lessons play an important role in process of teaching. All exercises should have definite content-related and didactic value. Taking into account the natural children’s knowledge, the amazing curiosity of world, spontaneity, passion for asking, teachers should prepare exercises in a proper way. Child’s creative abilities from literary, artistic, theatrical ones and its actual knowledge should be also used to prepare some selected activities. Key words: natural science education, revision lesson, teaching process, didactic materials.

Scientific Research Activity

Scientific research activity (SRA) of the future nature subject teachers during university studies is a significant their professionality / skilfulness component. Teacher research activity at school and education quality improvement are directly related. On the other hand, teacher as a researcher (research) competence is formed not only during studies at university or performing pedagogical practices, but also during continual professional improvement activities, as for example, reflexive research. It is obvious, that learners’ scientific research activity is one of the main activity directions in natural science education process. Such activity effectiveness, and also natural science education quality for the most part guarantees properly prepared teacher. A qualitative research was performed, in which 84 two Lithuanian university bachelor and master study programme students participated. The main research aim is to analyse SRA significance to teacher profession, contribution to professional readiness, and also to evaluate study process favourableness to scientist (researcher) career choice and personal student readiness for SRA. Data analysis was carried out applying content analysis method. It has been stated, that the biggest part of respondents relate SRA with professional improvement, and essential such activity contribution is professional readiness improvement (knowledge acquisition, experience and competence development). It has been fixed, that study process is partly favourable, however unsuitable conditions, teachers’ lack of interest and unfocused orientation to career hinder its improvement. Regardless of the fact that 50 % of research participants evaluated their personal readiness to participate in SRA as improper, still the attitude to researcher career remains positive. Key words: qualitative research, scientific research activity (SRA), teacher education, university students.
