O ensino e a divulgação das geociências são pouco disseminados não só no âmbito escolar, mas também para a sociedade em geral. No contexto das geociências está inserida a geodiversidade, que teve seu conceito introduzido na década de 1990 e vem crescendo nacional e internacionalmente. No entanto, diferente da biodiversidade, que é amplamente divulgada em toda a sociedade, a geodiversidade até hoje é desconhecida por grande parte da população, mesmo sabendo que seu estudo é importante para o entendimento dos processos da evolução e da dinâmica da Terra. A inserção da Educação Ambiental na divulgação desta temática pode evidenciar os aspectos abióticos muitas vezes esquecidos. Esse trabalho tem por objetivo inserir esse conteúdo em sala de aula através de uma metodologia mais alternativa: uma aula didática explicativa, porém mais dinâmica, e um jogo de tabuleiro, este ilustrando os elementos da geodiversidade (rochas, minerais, fósseis, formas de relevo, solos) e alguns locais com potencial geoturístico e maior visibilidade no estado da Paraíba, tais como, Vale dos Dinossauros, Lajedo do Pai Mateus, Pedra da Boca, Pedra do Ingá e as Falésias do Cabo Branco. Por fim, buscou-se verificar se a metodologia aplicada se apresenta como uma ferramenta facilitadora de aprendizagem. Espera-se contribuir para o ensino-aprendizagem dos alunos, de uma forma prazerosa e divertida, despertando a curiosidade e o interesse em aprender sobre geodiversidade e geociências. Para a obtenção dos dados utilizados na pesquisa, foi realizada uma visita na Escola Municipal Antônia Luna Lisboa, localizada no município de Rio Tinto-PB, na qual foram postas em prática as atividades. Para validar o jogo e a aula foi feita uma análise através de questionários, um pré-teste para avaliar o conhecimento prévio dos alunos e um pós-teste para averiguar se a metodologia aplicada em cada sala de aula contribuiu de maneira significativa como ferramenta para o ensino do conteúdo proposto. As metodologias aplicadas foram bem aceitas pelos alunos, os quais demonstraram interesse em aprender. Depois de aplicados, tanto a aula, quanto o jogo, verificou-se que as respostas dos questionários pós-teste foram mais satisfatórias e contribuíram significativamente para o conhecimento-aprendizagem dos alunos. A partir da análise dos resultados, constatou-se que novas alternativas pedagógicas são necessárias para o estímulo e a aprendizagem. Jogos podem e devem ser usados como recurso pedagógico, de modo que os alunos aprendam brincando, e aulas mais interativas, com uso de slides com imagens, também contribuem para o ensino-aprendizagem dos alunos. Abstract TEACHING GEODIVERSITY FROM DIDACTIC GAMES The education and the divulgation of the geosciences are poorly disseminated, not only in the educational range, but also for the society in general. Among the geosciences, there is the geodiversity, which had its concept introduced in the 90’s decade and has been growing worldwide ever since; however, unlike the biodiversity that is broadly disclosed for all society, the geodiversity is unknown for a large percentage of the population, even though such knowledge is very necessary for the understanding of the evolution and dynamic processes of the Earth. Bringing environmental education into the geodiversity divulgation might make the abiotic aspects, which are often forgotten, stand out. This work aims to introduce geodiversity themes in the schoolroom through a board game, illustrating the geodiversity elements (rocks, minerals, fossils, land forms, soils) and some places with geotouristic potencial and better visibility in the State of Paraíba, such as Vale dos Dinossauros (Dinosaur Valley), Lajedo de Pai Mateus, Pedra da Boca, Pedra do Ingá and the Cabo Branco cliffs, as well as verify if the methodology applied appears to be an efficient tool of learning. It is expected to contribute, for the teaching-learning process, in a fun and pleasant way, awakening the curiosity and interest to learn about geodiversity and geosciences. In order to obtain the data used in the search, a visit to the Municipal School Antonia Luna Lisboa, located in the county of Rio Tinto-PB, took place, in which the aforementioned exercises where put into practice. To validate the learning improvement achieved, an analysis through tests was held, where a pretest and an after test to assess the knowledge of the student were applied, to ascertain if the methodology contributed significantly as a tool of education of the geodiversity. The methodology was well-accepted by the students, and it was verified that the answers of the after test were satisfactory. Through the review of the results, it was found that new pedagogical alternatives are necessary for the motivation and learning of the students. Games can and must be used as a pedagogical resource, in a way that the students learn while playing; more interactive classes using slides with images also contribute for the teaching-learning of the students.

There are so many techniques which can be implemented by teachers inorder to support teaching learning process. Some techniques are also usefulfor improving students’ speaking proficiency. In Eduprana LanguageCourse, which offer Speak Out program for the young learners, the methodsin practicing speaking mostly used role-play method. In this method,students are required to practice conversation based on the situations thatare provided in module learnt. This method, somehow, make the practice ofspeaking be boring and monotone. In order to solve this problem, theteachers are required to be more creative so the class atmosphere be moreinteresting and students be more creative in speaking. The usage of game inteaching learning process has been known can give positive impact forlearning experiences. So, in this study, the writer tried to implement theusage of speaking board games in order as an effort of improving students’speaking proficiency. The method of this study is class actions research,where in this study there are two cycles that are being conducted. The resultof the study showed significant increasing point of pre-test and post-test offour variables in this study; vocabulary 2.51 to 3.11, pronunciation 2.41 to3.16, grammar 2.65 to 3.00, fluency 2.66 to 3.13. So, it can be concludedthat; 1) it is important to provide activities which engage the students’participation in the speaking activities and give them more chance to speak,such as playing board games which attracts the students’ attention andmake them enthusiastic to join the lesson. 2) Playing board games engagedthe students to speak up. When the students were playing the games, allof them had the same proportion to speak.Keywords: Speaking proficiency, board game, language course

The use of new technology in the process of teaching learning, as is the case of devices with the use of Augmented Reality, captures student and teacher's attention, creating the expectation that its use can provide the participants with new ways of interacting, new possibilities for collaboration and potentially an increase in motivation in learning. This research promoted the use of Augmented Reality using four prototypes created by the teacher during the teaching-learning process and had as main objectives: to evaluate the impact on motivation and learning competencies; identify, explore and evaluate different strategies for the integration of Augmented Reality devices and resources and define a set of guidelines for the integration of augmented reality systems. With the results of the questionnaires completed online by the students, it was concluded that they had a great interest in the possibility of interacting with the programmatic contents, the use of the prototypes added a greater motivation to solve the tasks proposed by the teacher and during the use of the prototypes the students have shown high levels of concentration for their achievement.

The process of evaluation of students is closely linked to their teaching-learning process in schools. However, the nature of evaluation techniques in a subject depends to an extent on grades at which it is taught as well as its philosophical and methodological orientation. In lower grades, for example, the focus is more on short and descriptive questions compared to higher grades where long and explanatory questions become important. The nature of school geography is different from other subjects for it focuses mainly on the spatial dimension of reality. For learning the spatial dimension of reality of the earth, maps and globes are the key teaching tools. While most techniques of evaluation in school geography are similar to other school subjects, it also uses certain techniques for evaluating students which are generally not popular in other subjects. This paper discusses use of various techniques of evaluation in school geography. It analyses how techniques of evaluation vary with grades. It identifies those techniques of evaluation that are unique to school geography. The study informs that mapping, map reading and fieldbased exercises are generally associated with geography.

Language assessment should support the learning process. Therefore, studying the washback of the assessment process is important to evaluate whether the assessment supports the learning process. English for tourism students is part of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Therefore, the appropriate assessment should be authentic since the need of their English is to perform their English based on their future professional setting. In Tourism 4.0 Era, tourism is not only dealing with welcoming guests, guiding, or arranging an itinerary but also broadcasting using internet media. One of the efforts to prepare the students with those demands is conducting the broadcast project-based assessment. This research aims at identifying its washback in the students’ learning. In-depth interview was employed as the data collection method. The results show that motivation and learning improvement were the washback of broadcast project-based assessment on learning.

The system of relationships and emotions that develop in the teaching-learning process define the complexity of teachers' education and pose the challenge of bringing out the emotional and affective culture that guides school life. Several studies on teaching practices highlight the tendency to refer to technical aspectsas a key dimension of professionalism, rather than on relational and emotional dimensions that can promote the relationship with student. The creative and unprecedented reconfiguration of professional practice is configured as the outcome of a reflexive process of subjective construction and de-construction of the profession and its development.The paper proposes a reflective training experience, which involved 76 teachers, focused on emotional and relational dimensions on teaching and based on the use of the narrative-autobiographical instruments (diary, narrative, metaphor). The results achieved in the monitoring phase show that the training offered an opportunity to reflect on oneself and one's personal and professional experience, starting from the use of alternative perspectives and interpretations than those that are already in use

Over the past few decades, the adoption of an inclusive approach to education has stimulated a reflection on the educational value of body and movement within teaching-learning process in order to break down all barriers to learning and promote the full participation of young people to school activities. Indeed,body and movement represent an important didactic "medium" for developing individualized and personalized learning paths that take into account the specific needs and characteristics of students thus contributing to their global and harmonious development.

This article highlights attitudinal analysis which can be used to predict the students’ accomplishment in their study. Analyzing the learners’ attitudes can possibly improve the validity of evaluation which is generally conducted by both lecturers and administrators either during the recruitment or in the teaching/learning process. Besides, this attempt can also be used to predict the students’ potential accomplishment when learning in IPDN. Attitude, which is commonly defined as a behavioral tendency to act in certain patterns, is very important to be analyzed in order to allow the lecturers to have more objective description of the students’ behavior and their potential accomplishment. If this thoroughly applied, attitudinal analysis will not only allow the lecturers and other related staffs to evaluate the good quality candidates, but also allow them to assess the students’ potential success. In line with the continuously increasing demand of the society toward the officials who have more integrity, analyzing attitudes can help select those having good quality, more integrity, and being more prepared in serving the society.
