Nos últimos anos, intensificou-se muito o número dos debates a respeito da qualidade da educação oferecida nas escolas públicas brasileiras. A principal problemática destacada pelos discursos em torno do assunto é o baixo desempenho dos alunos em testes de aptidões básicas, como leitura, escrita e noções de cálculo. Além disso, outros fatores, como a falta de formação adequada para os professores, os baixos salários e as condições estruturais precárias nas escolas, também são apontados, ainda que de forma menos expressiva, como algumas das causas da ausente ou insuficiente qualidade almejada na rede de ensino básico do paÃs. Diante desse cenário, especialmente no camp...
O leitor desta obra irá encontrar uma discussão crÃtica e detalhada acerca das teorias contratualistas como protagonistas da formação do Estado e de suas instituições, as quais por meio das polÃticas públicas e de seus subgrupos, regulamentam o funcionamento da sociedade polÃtica. A polÃtica educacional vem a se constituir um desses subgrupos, a qual normatiza a gestão do ensino público. A gestão do ensino público por sua vez, deve seguir elementos essenciais como a democracia e a participação, pois são esses elementos que respaldam as ações públicas e fundamentam a gestão democrática da educação.
This book discusses child well-being, with children and adolescents as key informants, from a Latin American perspective. It explores theoretical and empirical issues related to well-being and associated aspects, in order to understand the well-being of this population. Topics analyzed in this volume address for instance environment and community, rights, leisure time, technologies, interpersonal relationships and spirituality and their implications for changes in the well-being in children and adolescents. Especially relevant for scholars and professionals in the social and health sciences, as well as policy makers, seeking to promote child well-being, regardless of the area in which they operate.
A partir das práticas integradoras de pesquisa no Grupo de Pesquisa RETLEE e seus referenciais comuns de estudos, são definidos dois âmbitos especÃficos de análises: formação de professores e experiência educativa. Âmbitos que concentram, de modo temático e de interesse investigativo, a finalidade de constituir um movimento articulador entre as pesquisas individuais com as do coletivo, e estruturam as duas partes dos capÃtulos deste livro. Na primeira, a formação de professores se constitui como uma dimensão de reflexão que possibilita amplas e complexas discussões acerca da interferência da polÃtica curricular BNCC para o trabalho docente, dos contextos concretos de formaÃ...

IAU Symposium 301 highlights the recent advances in the field of asteroseismology and was the twenty-first in a series of pulsation meetings started in Los Alamos in 1971 and held every two years. Topics discussed centred around seismic studies of all types of pulsating stars, which - in the era of space observations made by MOST, CoRoT and Kepler - use data of unprecedented precision. The Symposium was also the opportunity to honour Wojtek Dziembowski, one of the world's leaders in the study of solar and stellar pulsations. Highlights include contributions on observing from space and the ground, techniques of analysis and mode identification, astrophysical applications of pulsations, pulsation-convection interaction, mass loss, microphysics, pulsations in main-sequence stars, compact stars and supergiants, and solar-like oscillations. Containing many excellent reviews, this volume is an important reference source for researchers on solar and stellar pulsations.
