Children's Learning

Girls and boys express their contribution to the learning community in their own ways. These contributions pose a challenge for pedagogues interested in the evolution of democracy as inconclusive dynamics of intergenerational exchange. Children’s claims as subjects of rights are linked to a concept of positioning in the social structure. Works by Janusz Korczak, Célestine Freinet and Paulo Freire explain this connection between pedagogy and social practices of expression. Reggio and Swedish pedagogues document children’s learning as well. This article examines the pride girls and boys display regarding their learning procedures and standpoints in community.

Abstract This article analyses elements of the social structure of transnational criminal justice. The main goal of the analysis is to investigate if the terminology crafted around transnational criminal law as a distinct legal system corresponds to the social structuration of this space as it can be observed in the justice practices that drive it. To enable such an analysis, the article contributes both a theoretical discussion of how best to conceptualise the social spaces of transnational criminal justice as well as, more cautiously, an empirical investigation into the workings of these spaces, focusing the fight against drugs, terrorism, corruption and ecological crimes. Building conceptually on Pierre Bourdieu’s field theory, the analytical focal point of the article is the practices of transnational criminal justice and the professionals who are active in this space. This raises crucial questions of how the social practices of transnational criminal justice structures usages and developments of the law. Based on the identification and analysis of four separate but interrelated spaces of practice, the article argues that our theoretical understanding of transnational criminal justice and law needs to be recalibrated to take into account the different ways in which it is mobilised to create either security or good governance.

tema central deste artigo são os processos de aprendizagem em situações educativas, discutidos a partir de reflexões e conceitos de uma pedagogia da libertação, campo teórico e metodológico entendido aqui em um sentido amplo, envolvendo idéias, e um olhar, que se baseia em Paulo Freire, mas também em outros autores, como John Dewey (que influenciou muito a Freire). O trabalho está dividido em duas partes. Na primeira, o objetivo é analisar inicialmente o próprio discurso e a própria racionalidade que tenta entender a construção do saber nas situações educativas fora da universidade, isto é, o pensar científico nas faculdades de educação. Em seguida, o artigo procura demonstrar como o conhecimento e mesmo o pensar ocorrem em experiências acionais, não se constituindo em fenômenos puramente intelectuais, soberanos e transcendentes à experiência social. ABSTRACT: The main theme of this article are the learning process in educative situations, using the concepts and reflections of the liberation pedagogy, theoric and methodological field related to the thought of authors like Paulo Freire and John Dewey. (Dewey did influence Freire). This text is divided in two parts. In the first section, the goal is discuses the speech and the thought that try explain the construction of the knowledge outside of the university (the scientific thought in the education research). In the second section of this text, we emphasize that the knowledge and the scientific thought occur in experiences of the social practices. They are not intelectual, sovereign and purely transcendentes phenomena to the social experience. Key-words: thought; knowledge; pragmatism; liberation education

This article is devoted to the theoretical aspects of the development of communication skills of preschool children. In modern conditions of updating the content of education, the problem of developing communication skills reaches the level of an actual socio-pedagogical problem, since its solution largely depends on the success of children's learning; the effectiveness of interpersonal interaction with teachers and peers, and in General - the social adaptation of children. The article discusses the main concepts related to children's communicative development, components of communication skills, and a retrospective analysis of the formation and development of the concept of "communication", "communication", and "communication skills"
