Science as an interdisciplinary instrument for learning in high school - for a freirean epistemology (a curricular analysis of the high school classes of the College of Imaculada Conceição) / A ciência enquanto instrumento interdisciplinar para a aprendizagem no ensino médio – por uma epistemologia freireana (uma análise curricular das turmas do ensino médio do Colégio da Imaculada Conceição)

Science (from Latin scientia, "knowledge") or systematic practice. It is a product derived from systematized searches, so a method is required. For Lakatos (2011), it is the systematization of knowledge, a grouping of logically related prepositions on the behavior of certain phenomena that one intends to study. Interdisciplinarity serves asa link between the curricular components of a school institution, so it is a model with a new division ofknowledge, allows interaction, communication between disciplines seeking to integrate knowledge in a harmonious and meaningful way. Therefore, with this fusion of curricular knowledge, an important, scientific community is formed that provides high school with a quality in the learning process and, finally, the production of knowledge. By epistemology (it is the right knowledge, science. Logos: speech, study. It's the philosophy of science.) freirean, it is critical, of interactionist basis, in which knowledge results from constructions of the subject with interaction with the world, society or culture. It is in this epistemology that dialogicity occurs, there is a process of constant construction in which the epistemic subject teaches and learns, learns and teaches. It is in high school, this school stage in which adolescents study, the presence of science permeating, instrumentalizing and boosting knowledge in classes and causing learning within the curriculum.

A Theory of Why Arts Entrepreneurship Matters

Although consensus on a definition of Arts Entrepreneurship (AE) is helpful, formal theories are needed to help AE researchers and educators explain what the general AE process is and why it matters. As discussed in this article, such theories can help us understand the relationship between art innovation, art market creation and art value exchange in Artworlds. Such theories can also help AE educators in particular clarify distinctions and similarities between the systematic practice of AE and business entrepreneurship, challenge past and present assumptions about AE and may encourage AE educators to pivot towards new pedagogical directions.

Efecto de la asignatura de educación física en la percepción de los estudiantes frente al desarrollo de competencias genéricas (Effect of Physical Education on the students' perception regarding the development of generic competences)

El desarrollo de competencias por medio de la práctica sistemática de la actividad física se ha vuelto un desafío. Por lo anterior, el objetivo de esta investigación es conocer el efecto de las clases de educación física en el desarrollo de competencias genéricas mediante la percepción de los estudiantes, tras la aplicación del Cuestionario de las Competencias Genéricas de Educación Física, participando un total de 961 estudiantes de primer año pertenecientes a las diferentes carreras de la Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María de Valparaíso el año 2017. El Cuestionario fue diseñado para medir la variable de manera exhaustiva, considerando cuatro competencias genéricas: trabajo en equipo, recreación, inteligencia kinestésica y ética, las que forman parte de los programas de asignaturas de educación física. Según los resultados obtenidos se observa que en el caso de las competencias genéricas inteligencia kinestésica y ética, el valor obtenido fue de p<0,000. Para las competencias genéricas trabajo en equipo y recreación el valor fue p<0,002. Asimismo, el cuestionario presenta un 95% de confianza, evidenciando diferencias significativas, ya que el nivel de p-valor (Sig.) es p<0,05, y el valor obtenido fue de <0,000, concluyendo que los estudiantes reconocen que las clases de educación física permiten a través de la práctica sistemática de la actividad física el desarrollo de estas competencias genéricas, contribuyendo así a la formación integral del individuo. Abstract. The development of skills throughout the systematic practice of Physical Education (PE) has become a challenge. This is the reason why the focus of this reasearch is to know the effects of Physical Education on the students' perception regarding the development of generic competences, applying the Questionnaire of Generic Physical Education Competences USM to 961 first year students from differents USM careers in 2017. The questionaire was designed to measure the variable exhaustively, considering four generic competences: teamwork, recreation, kinesthetic intelligence and ethics. These skills are part of the PE course outlines. The results showed that, in the case of the kinesthetic intelligence and ethics generic competences, the p-value was p<0,000. For the teamwork and recreation generic competences, the value was p <0.002.The Questionnaire holds a 95% of confidence and shows significant differences, since the significant p-value is p<0,05 and the obtained value was p<0,000. Therefore, it is concluded that students recognize that PE allow the development of generic skills throughout the systematic practice of physical activity, confirming that physical activity favors the development of generic competences and therefore, and contributes to the integral formation of the student.

Analysis of the Individual Set-Pieces Influence on the Teams’ Ranking in Rink Hockey

The main objective of this research was to analyze the individual set-pieces influence on the final season ranking in rink hockey. For this purpose, 6,920 individual set-pieces from 1,680 matches corresponding to free direct hits (n = 4,332) and penalty shots (n = 2,588) were analyzed during seven consecutive seasons (2012-13 to 2018-19) in the First Spanish League (Ok Liga). The variables recorded were the following for each team: total points, free direct hits attempted, free direct hits scored, penalties attempted, penalties scored, total goals scored during the season, free direct hits received, goals received from free direct hits, penalties received, goals received from penalties and total goals received in the season. Results showed that 21.08% of the goals were scored by free direct hits and penalty shots (11.58% and 9.49%, respectively). Likewise, teams ranked in a better position achieved higher effectiveness in individual set-pieces and their goalkeepers were more effective in defending the free direct hits and penalties. Furthermore, results showed significant correlations between team season points and better performance in individual set-pieces variables. Therefore, the results of this study demonstrated the importance of systematic practice of free direct hits and penalty shots for teams’ success in rink hockey. Additionally, it is suggested that teams possess special players to execute these particular elements of match play

Perception and Practices of Teaching Grammar in Higher Secondary Schools in Bhutan.

This paper reports a survey of Bhutanese teachers’ Perception and Practices of Teaching Grammar in Higher Secondary Schools in Bhutan. The teaching of grammar in Bhutanese school is predominately guided by curriculum, whereby context-based teaching is mostly encouraged. The descriptive analysis based on quantitative findings of the study indicated that Bhutanese teachers generally believed that the formal study of grammar is essential to the eventual mastery of a foreign or second language. The study also showed that grammar is generally believed to be best taught explicitly, inductively or deductively, but not implicitly. Moreover, the teachers' remark on the importance of systematic practice of grammatical features and detailed error correction suggests that there is a preference for more extensive treatment of grammatical issues. The findings of the present study also indicate that, like the teachers reported in the 2002 and 2008 studies, teachers in Bhutan appreciate the centrality of grammar in their language teaching. This descriptive analysis based on quantitative findings would be beneficial to the curriculum developers, teachers, and lecturers in developing students’ grammar skills and providing professional development to teachers for effective delivery of grammar lessons

Aging is accompanied by multiple changes, including articular degeneration and limited articular mobility, which may cause pain. Functional capability in a senior age is crucial to ensure the comfort of life for as long as possible. Therefore, it is important to take actions to maintain the proper range of mobility in the joints. Systematic practice of properly selected exercises is one of such methods. The aim of the research was to assess the effects of a physical exercise programme used in men over 60 years of age. The study was conducted in a group of men between 60 and 75 years of age. All participants took part in a 6-week exercise programme. The range of lower limb joint mobility was assessed at baseline and after exercise programme completion. The results obtained indicate that the proposed exercise programme contributed to increased joint mobility in both lower limbs. Statistically significant differences were found for all types of movements except for flexion in the ankle joint. The 6-week exercise programme seems sufficient to increase articular mobility in men over 60 years of age

The illustration of Retizafra intricata Hedley, 1912 (Gastropoda: Columbellidae) from the coastal central Queensland: Citizen Scientists and their role in systematic practice

Many Australian small molluscan taxa are often overlooked, falling by the wayside and therefore, and remaining relatively unknown to the wider collecting community. This paper redescribes and illustrates Retizafra intricata Hedley, 1912, a species that has not been illustrated within the literature for over a century. Many species are listed in databases, but they are often void of illustrative examples making positive identification problematic. Furthermore, this paper refines the syntypes and declares a lectotype to give greater taxonomic clarity. Within the discussion of this paper, the role of the citizen scientist is elucidated. Issues of how attitudinal change within some institutions can lead to the alienation of individuals, particularly those with life-long knowledge in their chosen field.

The Chronology and Significance of Ablation in the Later Stone Age Maghreb

This chapter described the earliest evidence of the systematic practice of ablation. Purposeful removal of the upper central incisors became a widespread practice with the Iberomaurusian of the Later Stone Age in the Maghreb region—the area of current-day northern Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. During the Capsian times, ablation became less prevalent, but in some cases all incisors and canines were removed. During the Neolithic period the practice became even less frequent and in some areas disappeared completely. Nevertheless, in some regions of North Africa ablation remained common and may have been a way of identifying certain tribes or individuals within society. This chapter also considers possible causes for the origin of the practice.
