O presente artigo tem como foco discutir alguns dos modos de construção de conhecimento no campo das ciências humanas e sociais e, mais especificamente, na interface entre a Psicologia e a Educação, problematizando as noções de gênero, raça/etnia e diversidade e os efeitos aí engendrados em termos de produção de subjetividades e suas ressonâncias nos processos de formação acadêmica no campo psi. O legado de Marielle Franco – e seu assassinato – são tomados como analisadores do tempo presente uma vez que geram fraturas e rupturas, mas que, ao mesmo tempo, podem potencializar novas análises, novos possíveis, novos fluxos e ciclos de vida. A narrativa e a escrita das nossas histórias são situadas como atos político de resistência e de reexistência que potencializam novos modos de subjetivação. A partir de uma busca por outros modos de produção de conhecimento e de processos formativos não hegemônicos, encontramos no diálogo entre bell hooks e Paulo Freire a educação para uma consciência crítica como possível linha de fuga para enfrentarmos o atual contexto de perda de direitos.

This chapter explores the author's experiences with blended learning, both as a tutor and as a student at a British Russell Group University. The chapter starts from the importance of encouraging an autonomy supporting learning environment, featured within self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000). In the first part of the chapter, definitions of blended learning will be briefly reviewed. Secondly, the role of the learning environment will be explained, drawing upon previous research on learning environments undertaken by Darkenwald and Valentine (1986), mentioning the importance of the learning environment within motivational theories. Thirdly, results of a critical analysis on the own teaching and learning practice will be conducted, comparing the perspective of being a tutor and being a student. Finally, recommendations for future teaching practice will be discussed, before concluding this chapter.

O contexto pandêmico impôs muitos desafios à Educação: acesso a aulas remotas, estratégias pedagógicas envolvendo docentes, discentes e família e, certamente, a urgência em abordar conteúdos que problematizem as dificuldades no enfrentamento da pandemia. Diante disso, este artigo se propõe a discutir, a partir de uma abordagem teórica, de que forma questões sociais agravadas pela chegada da COVID-19, como o acesso ao saneamento básico e à água, podem vir à tona na sala de aula de Ciências a partir de narrativas que emergem do cotidiano dos grupos mais atingidos pelo novo coronavírus. Acreditamos, assim, ser possível tecer uma Educação em Ciências comprometida com seu papel social e engajada ao enfrentamento das desigualdades sociais acentuadas na pandemia. Para isso, partimos das contribuições intelectuais de Paulo Freire, bell hooks, Carolina Maria de Jesus e Conceição Evaristo a fim de tecer reflexões acerca da importância da ressignificação dos conteúdos da Educação em Ciências.

The present study aims at investigating challenges of applying the teaching methodology of (CELTA) productive skills in a poor learning environment and a fragile infrastructure region of Darfur, Sudan. (CELTA) is a teacher training course that consists of 200 guided learning hours including 6 hours of teaching practice and stands for “Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages”. Candidates who apply for the course aim at acquiring the knowledge and the familiarity of the effective teaching principles. However, applying the methodology of such an internationally recognized qualification that addresses the communicative language learning requires intensive usage of some modern teaching materials. Accordingly, its applicability seems extremely challenging in a poor learning environment with a fragile infrastructure similar to the situation of Darfur region. Furthermore, the difficulties of its implementation definitely prevent hundreds of students from learning facilitates and opportunities that are only attainable via courses in which the learners’ needs are highly considered. We can also be certain that through the application of such a course student develops learning speaking and writing skills respectively simply because the course methodology provides a great opportunity of practicing the language compared to the traditional teaching methodologies. In this study the researcher is reflecting on his experience in teaching EFL via utilizing (CLT) techniques in such a way CELTA course is taught. Furthermore, the researcher aims at illustrating the importance of reducing teacher’s (TTT) and increasing the (STT) in EFL classes in Darfur, Sudan. The study also attempts to highlight the role of the private sector and voluntary organizations in promoting the educational process in the region. We can therefore say that the difficulties mentioned above have begun to diminish with the presence of some voluntary organizations such as Malam Darfur Peace and Development.A qualitative method for data collection and analysis is adapted in which the researcher interviews some EFL instructors who are currently based in KSA and actually happened to CELTA qualification. The interview questions are conducted to examine their experiences on how the methodology of this course is applicable in different contexts. Finally, the study resulted into the following findings:1.         Teaching and learning the (CELTA) productive skills in a poor learning environment is difficult.2.         Still traditional teaching methods is dominating the EFL classes in Darfur, Sudan.3.         Some voluntary organizations regularly contribute to the development of the learning environment in the region of Darfur.
