Health Literacy From a Pediatrician's Perspective

Health literacy describes individual's skills to understand and use the information on health issues, compliance to the prescribed therapeutic regimen, prevention of disease and accidents, filtering the information, and making good judgments to maintain a healthy life. Low school education and fundamental education and poverty are barriers to gain health literacy. If TV broadcasts are used optimally for training in health issues, they may reach many people. The density of the active physicians, nurses and midwives, national health coverage, and training activities of the civil associations for chronic disease contribute to health literacy. Controversy exists about the benefits and risks of social media and mass media to health literacy due to information pollution. Self-diagnosis and marketing of under-the-counter drugs are problems of the digital age. Some projects aiming to improve digital health literacy skills will help people to reach reliable health-related information. Communication skills of healthcare professionals are also important.

INVESTIGAÇÃO MATEMÁTICA: UMA ALTERNATIVA METODOLÓGICA PARA O ENSINO DA GEOMETRIA COM ALUNOS DO 5º ANO DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL / MATHEMATICAL RESEARCH: A METHODOLOGICAL ALTERNATIVE FOR TEACHING GEOMETRY WITH STUDENTS OF THE 5th YEAR OF FUNDAMENTAL EDUCATION

Neste trabalho, teve-se por objetivo, analisar estratégias que os alunos de uma turma de 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental, utilizam ao realizar tarefas investigativas, envolvendo o cálculo de áreas e perímetros de figuras planas. Ademais procurou-se, investigar as conjecturas elaboradas por estes alunos para comparar figuras de mesma área, mas com valores de perímetros diferentes e vice-versa. Foram utilizadas as etapas propostas por Ponte, Brocardo e Oliveira (2006), para desenvolver duas tarefas envolvendo a Investigação Matemática. Como instrumentos de coletas de dados foram utilizados diários de campo, resolução de tarefas, observações, questionários, gravação de voz e filmagens. Para a análise dos dados, optou-se pela análise descritiva, que consiste na descrição de características de determinados fenômenos. Para a resolução das tarefas investigativas propostas os alunos usaram o material concreto e o desenho. Percebeu-se que o trabalho em grupo foi produtivo, para elaboração das conjecturas e compreensão dos conceitos geométricos.

PERCEPTION INDEX OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN FUNDAMENTAL EDUCATION SCHOOLS IN A CITY ON THE BRAZIL / BOLIVIA FRONTIER

Objective: to analyze the Environmental Education Perception Index in the light of national curricular parameters (PCN’s) within the scope of elementary education in state schools in the city of Guajará-Mirim, Rondônia, on the Brazil / Bolivia border. Method: for this study, factor analysis was used as a mechanism for building performance indices for each parameter studied. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences - SPSS [30] tool was used to determine the proposed indexes that followed the scale advocated by Hair et al [21]. Results: the results presented by the teachers of the 4 schools correspond to the perception index considered “good” with an average index of 0.699. The average perception index of school technicians and managers was 0.591, considered a “regular” index. The students had an average performance of 0.537, considered a “regular” performance index. The general IPEA among all schools surveyed was considered “regular” with a performance index of 0.597. Conclusion: the fact that Guajará-Mirim has 92% of its territory occupied by Conservation Units and Indigenous Lands and a strong environmental policy does not correspond to the level of abstraction applied by formal Environmental Education. Environmental Education given in Guajará-Mirim elementary schools imposes considerable risks on the environmental conscience of future generations, as it presents certain deficiencies in fulfilling its institutional role as a social transformer, configuring itself as a limiter of sustainable development and awareness environmental.
