Conceptual appropriation is central to the teaching-learning and development processes. The intellectual stage is expressed by writing, verbalization and the use of the object under construction, among other means of expression. This paper discusses the conceptual appropriation by means of the creation of collaborative situations in which the argumentative language mediates the construction of knowledge. Supported by Vygotsky’s cultural-historical theory, Discussion Circle is an activity that consists of presenting some conceptual questions for the class to discuss in small groups initially, and then in a larger group, as a general meeting. Hence, we present the central ideas and theoretical support for the development of this activity and comment on a practice that took place during a course of Basic Statistics, part of the Teaching Program in Mathematics. Results indicate the conceptual development of students, which allows for the improvement of elementary school mathematics’ teacher education in terms of statistics studies, which is a strategic matter of importance for the broadening of society’s knowledge about this area. Abstract: Portuguese No processo de ensino-aprendizagem e desenvolvimento, a apropriação conceitual é central. O estágio intelectual se expressa, entre outras formas, pela escrita, verbalização e uso do objeto em construção. Este artigo discute a apropriação conceitual por meio da criação de situações colaborativas em que a linguagem da argumentação medeia a construção do conhecimento. A atividade Roda de Conversa, apoiada na teoria Histórico-Cultural de Vygotsky, consiste em propor algumas questões conceituais para a classe discutir, inicialmente em pequenos grupos e, a seguir, em uma reunião geral. Apresentamos as ideias centrais e os suportes teóricos para o desenvolvimento dessa atividade e comentamos sobre uma realização prática ocorrida em uma disciplina de Estatística Básica do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática. Os resultados encontrados indicam o desenvolvimento conceitual dos estudantes, colaborando com a melhoria da formação estatística do professor de Matemática da Educação Básica, questão estratégica na ampliação do conhecimento da sociedade sobre a área.

OBJECTIVE: to describe the perception of lecturers and undergraduate nursing students regarding the dialogic experience in the informal spaces and its relationship with training in health.METHOD: experiential descriptions were collected in the context of a public university in the non-metropolitan region of the state of Bahia, Brazil, using open interviews. These descriptions were analyzed according to the principles of the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty.RESULTS: it was revealed that the informal spaces contribute significantly to the construction of knowledge and professional training strengthening teaching and promoting the re-signification of the subjects' experience.CONCLUSION: it is evidenced that the dialogic experience has relevancy for rethinking the teaching-learning process in the university, such that the informal spaces should be included and valued as producers of meanings for the personal and academic life of lecturers and students, with the ability to re-signify existence.

Neste artigo tem-se como objetivo apontar alternativas de reconstrução do currículo escolar por meio do trabalho com projetos. Vale salientar que o currículo se refere à organização do conhecimento escolar, sendo uma construção social do conhecimento, real, significativa, com intencionalidade político-pedagógica, aberto o suficiente para ser percebido como um processo, no qual as questões oriundas da relação ensino e aprendizagem possam dar-lhe um caráter dinâmico e transformador. Um instrumento relevante para reconstrução curricular são os denominados projetos de trabalhos, pois o ponto de partida do processo de construção do conhecimento é a prática social concreta e a realidade em que acontece.Palavras-chave: currículo, projetos de trabalho, conhecimento. CURRICULUM AND WORK IN PROJECTS MEDIA: BUILDING ALTERNATIVES FOR PRACTICE INVESTIGATIVEAbstractThis article same has the objective of pointing reconstruction alternatives of the school curriculum by working through projects. It is worth noting that the curriculum refers to the school knowledge organization, being a social construction of knowledge, real, significant, with political-pedagogical intent, open enough to be perceived as a process in which issues arising in the teaching / learning can give you a dynamic and transforming character. A relevant tool for curricular reconstruction is the so-called work projects, because the starting point of the knowledge construction process is the concrete social practice and reality where it happens.Key-words: curriculum, work projects, knowledge.

This systematic review article focuses on Vygotsky’s Sociocultural approach in the context of early childhood education which focuses on the teaching of learning and development that can be achieved through the sociocultural environment of students. This article is built by conducting previous studies or literature highlights to obtain information related to Vygotsky's sociocultural approach which refers to aspects of teaching-learning and student development. Meanwhile, this article reporting method uses optional reporting items for systematic study and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) or Systematic Literature Review (SLR) article adapted for current research review while using two main databases namely Scopus and Web of Science. Thus, this search effort has resulted in a total of 26 articles that have been systematically censored and analyzed and then the survey successfully formulated the six main themes contained in Vygotsky's sociocultural approach namely, Social theme, Language theme, Process theme, Meaningful learning theme, Constructor theme- knowledge, and Artifacts. In total, further analysis of the six themes has resulted in five sub-themes. The findings of this study have delved deeper into sociocultural from Vygotsky’s perspective as a basis for child development.

Given the limited number of documents addressing methodological context in higher education with a rigorous approach, this chapter comprises a document drawn up in order to clarify methodological concepts. It emphasizes the importance of the teaching-learning process and the significance of placing the student at the center of all actions. The educator's mission changes from being a mere transmitter of information to being a conductor and organizer of the learning situation. To achieve this, several methods must be combined, requiring a balance between the theoretical and practical classes. Likewise, they can be benefited by carrying out complementary activities. This combination is intended to face the great challenges of higher education in the 21st century, which are driven by changes in the way students learn. The emergence of technologies means that the protagonist in the collective construction of knowledge is the student, responding to their digital and participatory demands.

Many functional definitions emphasize a portal as an integrated system providing a gateway to organized data (c.f., Batson, 2000; Copeland, 2001; Eisler, 2001; Looney & Lyman, 2000). However, a learning portal may go beyond the information management function to provide important mechanisms for reaching out to new populations of learners and engaging them in new ways to facilitate learning and development. Beyond serving as a gateway and an organizer, a portal can provide access to a broader range of contemporary information and learning resources (experts, teachers, researchers, mentors), encourage enriched interaction with those resources and with other learners anywhere in the world, and support new models of teaching, learning and research. Ultimately, a collaborative, community-based process of designing and implementing a portal may support institutions in reorienting towards a user-centered learning community.

AbstractThis article reports on a small-scale study conducted among first and second-year students of English at the University of Graz in the winter semester 2013–2014. The aim of the study was to determine the extent to which students in their peer-group interactions were using language efficiently as a means of thinking and learning together. To this end, audio-recordings were made of pairs and groups of students working collaboratively on various tasks in three different English language classes. The article begins by briefly reviewing previous work on the joint construction of knowledge and understanding via learner-to-learner talk. Although this work pertains to collaborative learning in learners’ L1, the participants in the study, most of whom were future teachers of English, communicated in the target language at B2 level and thus seemed to constitute a group of learners to whom the literature equally applied. The next part of the article describes the teaching/learning context and the pedagogical approach followed, which is guided by the principles of learner autonomy. This is followed by an analysis of three transcripts of audio-recordings, and the article concludes by considering the implications for future practice of the insights gained.

O artigo é fruto de pesquisa sobre o ensino realizado na escola contemporânea, à luz dos ensinamentos praticados na escola inspirada em Dom Bosco e na maneira como o saber jurídico é construído. Contextualiza-se a “educação contemporânea” e a importância da filosofia pedagógica de Dom Bosco, lançando mão de elementos edificadores de sua filosofia, os quais despertam propostas educacionais em prol dos direitos individuais, sociais e coletivos. A inspiração da educação contemporânea é contemplada nas discussões que envolvem a problemática ético-socioambiental, relacionada às necessidades e interesses do homem, nas esferas dos direitos sociais e dos interesses e direitos difusos e coletivos. Tratar de interesses e necessidades, no âmbito dos direitos humanos e fundamentais, a partir da vertente educacional Salesiana, desperta diálogos atuais entre a educação, a escola, o ensino, e a postura do docente e do discente em face dos problemas socioeducacionais contemporâneos, desafiadores da reconquista da qualidade humana nas relações educacionais, utilizando-se os ensinamentos de São João Bosco. A pesquisa mostra que a qualidade do ensino se realiza com a adoção de postura educacional ativa, incentivadora de conduta de afetividade pelas pessoas e entre as pessoas que participam da relação do ensino-aprendizado, na busca da prática da solidariedade e do respeito incondicional à dignidade dos seres humanos, retornando-se, assim, aos valores da essência humana. Mostra, ainda, que o resgate do dever de cuidar (de tudo e de todos) corrobora o retorno aos valores essenciais do homem, como a caridade e a compaixão, que, entre outros, promovem impulso altruísta de ternura entre os homens, que se perdem constantemente no emaranhado da selva social contemporânea.AbstractThe construction of knowledge , the duty of care and the teachings of St. John BoscoThe article is based on research conducted in the teaching process practiced in contemporary schooling, in light of the teachings practiced in the school inspired by Don Bosco and the way that legal knowledge is constructed. It contextualizes the "contemporary education" and the importance of teaching Don Bosco’s philosophy, using fundamental elements of his philosophy, which arouse educational proposals in favor of individual, social and collective rights. The inspiration of contemporary education is addressed in discussions involving ethical and environmental issues related to the needs and interests of Man, in the spheres of social rights and interests and diffuse and collective rights. It deals with interests and needs in the context of fundamental and human rights, from the Salesian educational aspect, awakens current dialogue between education, school, teaching, and the posture of the teacher and the student in the face of contemporary social and educational problems, challenging the reconquest of human relations in educational quality, using the teachings of St. John Bosco. Research shows that the quality of education is realized by adopting active educational stance supportive of conduct of affection for people and among people who participate in the teaching-learning relationship in the pursuit of practical solidarity and unconditional respect for the human dignity, returning therefore to the values of the human essence. It also shows that the rescue of the duty of care (of everything and everyone) confirms the return to the essential human values such as love and compassion, which among others promote altruistic impulse of tenderness between Men who are lost constantly in the tangle of contemporary social jungle.ResumenLa construcción del conocimiento, el deber de cuidar y las enseñanzas de San Juan BoscoEl artículo se basa en una investigación sobre la enseñanza realizada en la escuela contemporánea, a la luz de las enseñanzas que se practican en la escuela inspirada en Don Bosco y la forma en que el conocimiento jurídico se construye. Contextualiza la "educación contemporánea" y la importancia de la enseñanza de la filosofía de Don Bosco, usando los elementos constructores de su filosofía, que despiertan las propuestas educativas a favor de los derechos individuales, sociales y colectivos. La inspiración de la educación contemporánea se aborda en los debates relacionados con cuestiones éticas y ambientales, relacionados con las necesidades e intereses del Hombre, en las esferas de los derechos e intereses sociales y los derechos difusos y colectivos. Tratar a los intereses y necesidades en el contexto de los derechos humanos y fundamentales, desde el aspecto educativo salesiano, despierta el diálogo actual entre la educación, la escuela, la enseñanza, y la postura del profesor y del alumno en frente de los problemas sociales y educativos contemporáneos, desafiando la reconquista de las relaciones humanas en la calidad educativa, utilizando las enseñanzas de San Juan Bosco. Las investigaciones demuestran que la calidad de la educación se realiza mediante la adopción de la postura educativa activa de apoyo de conducta de afecto hacia las personas y entre las personas que participan en la relación enseñanza-aprendizaje, en la búsqueda de la solidaridad práctica y el respeto irrestricto a la dignidad los seres humanos, volviendo, por lo tanto, a los valores de la essencia humana. También muestra que el rescate del deber de cuidado (de todo y de todos) confirma el retorno a los valores humanos esenciales, como el amor y la compasión, que entre otros promuoven el impulso altruista de ternura entre los Hombres, que se pierden constantemente en la maraña de la selva social contemporánea.Revisor do inglês: Prof. Tadeu GiattiRevisor do espanhol: Prof. Lilian de Souza
