This article is particularly relevant in the context of the implementation of remote work regime and online studies. The fact that you can be at work or in the classroom in a domestic context is a special privilege. However, we cannot overlook some of the shortcomings of this type of experience. In the case of teaching, we must not interpret knowledge as a sum of data that needs to be delivered to the recipient. Currently, the problem of information interference has almost disappeared. Knowledge is more than a sum of data. The social context and human interaction reveal the meaningful dimension of knowledge, and once the meaning is grasped - and in the case of the learning process the student - will be able to understand the purpose and applicability of knowledge. The vivacity of the layer of meanings is maintained due to the interaction between people. The requirement to maintain effective communication in the distance learning regime is a real challenge, first of all, for the teacher. In these circumstances the teacher risks becoming a data provider.

This study examines the importance of character education in students of Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially those who are currently undergoing the online learning process. The character of education is really needed not only in school or college but also at home and in the social environment itself. Furthermore, students in colleges are no longer monitored by their parents during the learning process so that character or manners while studying are no longer something that must be observed and considered important in distance learning. This study is a literature study sourced from library materials using a qualitative approach. Thus, the research activity is the exploration of a number of data both primary and secondary with some concrete steps such as reading and studying primary data in the form of research books, theses or dissertations related to character education and its relationship with Pandemic Covid-19. Character education for students is needed because so far students are only preoccupied with lecture materials in the classroom, but pay less attention to the meaning and value behind the process itself. The situation becomes more difficult when classroom learning turns into distance learning and students cannot be fully monitored by lecturers and less participation from parents who pay less attention to character education at home.

O presente artigo versa sobre o projeto piloto nomeado e-Sipris, realizado entre a Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná (UNIOESTE) e parcerias. O objetivo do projeto é proporcionar aos apenados de três unidades prisionais, sendo elas: Penitenciária Industrial de Cascavel: PR (PIC), Penitenciária Estadual de Cascavel: PR (PEC) e Penitenciária Federal de Segurança Máxima de Catanduvas: PR, cursos de formação técnica, para que, após o cumprimento de suas penas, estejam capacitados a exercerem uma profissão e (re)integrarem-se na sociedade como cidadãos que agem dentro dos princípios sociais. Essa é uma maneira de garantir a inclusão àqueles que não tiveram acesso à educação. Acredita-se que a formação a distância supera as fronteiras geográficas, sociais e temporais desse processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Este artigo está teoricamente embasado em autores que se dedicam à educação a distância, mais especialmente em Deleuze e o conceito de rizoma, por entender-se que a modalidade educacional em questão tem características hipertextuais, considerando suas especificidades de maneira ampla e vertical.Palavras-chave: Educação a Distância; Sistema prisional; Inclusão. Distance Education as Inclusive Mode: e-SiprisAbstract This paper discusses the pilot project named e-Sipris, conducted by Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná (UNIOESTE) and partnerships. The project goal is to provide to the prisoners of three prison units, namely: Penitenciária Industrial de Cascavel: PR (PIC), Penitenciária Estadual de Cascavel: PR (PEC), e Penitenciária Federal de Segurança Máxima de Catanduvas: PR, technical training courses, so that, after their sentences, they will be able to have a profession and be (re) integrate into the society as citizens who acts accord to the social principles. This is a way to guarantee inclusion of those who had no access to education. It is believed that the distance learning overcomes the geographical, social, and temporal frontiers of the teaching-learning process. This article is theoretically based on authors engaged in distance education, and more especially in Deleuze's concept of rhizome, because it is understood that the educational modality in question has hypertext features considering its specificities in a wide and vertical way.Keywords: Distance Education; Prison system; Inclusion.

Evacuation modeling and simulation are usually used to explore different possibilities for evacuation, however, it is a real challenge to integrate different categories of characteristics in unified modeling space. In this paper, we propose an agent-based model of an evacuating crowd so that a comparative analysis of a different sets of parameters categorized as individual, social and technological aspects, is made possible. In particular, we focus on the question of rationality vs. emotionalism of individuals in a localized social context. In addition to that, we propose and model the concept of extended social influence, thereby embedding technological influence within the social influence, and analyze its impact on the efficiency of evacuation. NetLogo is used for simulating different variations in environments, evacuation strategies, and agents demographics. Simulation results revealed that there is no substantial advantage of informational overload on people, as this might work only in those situations, where there are fewer chances of herding. In more serious situations, people should be left alone to decide. They, however, could be trained in drills, to avoid panicking in such situations and concentrate on making their decisions solely based on the dynamics of their surroundings. It was also learned that distant connectivity has no apparent advantage and can be ruled out while designing an evacuation strategy based on these recommendations.

Este artigo apresenta um modelo de mediação didática para o ensino de sociologia. Efetivada em uma escola pública na cidade de São José do Belmonte, Pernambuco, Brasil, a mediação fitou o aprendizado a partir de uma pesquisa de campo feita durante a festa da Cavalgada à Pedra do Reino. Primeiro, os estudantes apropriaram-se dos conceitos de cultura, cultura popular, festa, festa popular e etnografia, e foram a campo para observar, estranhar e refletir acerca do meio do qual fazem parte, registrando suas reflexões em cadernos de campo. Nessa proposta de trabalho de perspectiva etnográfica, os alunos usaram o mundo como laboratório para compreender a sociologia. A mediação didática considerou que os discentes são investigadores críticos, protagonistas do processo de ensino-aprendizagem, na qual a palavra é dada ao educando. Eles usaram o seu contexto de existência para compreender sociologicamente o que já conheciam, mas cujos sentidos eram silenciados na estrutura social.Palavras-chave: Mediação didática; Ensino de sociologia; Perspectiva etnográfica. ABSTRACTThis article presents a didactic mediation model to teaching sociology. This mediation was applied in a public school in São José do Belmonte city, Pernambuco, Brazil, whose aim was the learning through a fieldwork during the Cavalgada à Pedra do Reino Festival. Firstly, students learned concepts as culture, popular culture, festival, popular festival and ethnography, and then they went to the field to observe, defamiliarize and reflect about their social environment, reporting their reflections in ethnographic notebooks. On this ethnographic perspective proposal, students experienced the world as a laboratory, trying to understand sociology. In the didactic mediation, students were considered as critical researchers, protagonists of the teaching-learning process, in which each one has an own narrative. They were immersed in their own social context to understand sociologically what they already knew, but which meanings were restrained in the social structure.Keywords: Didactic mediation; Sociology teaching; Ethnographic perspective
