Narrativas autobiográficas de professores
Alguns autores nos ajudam a trazer para o campo educacional, discussões tocantes à análise da profissão do professor como uma das tarefas impossíveis (CODO, 1999; PEREIRA, 2011). Tal impossibilidade carrega consigo a perspectiva de que todo ato educativo carrega em si o empreendimento do fracasso, dado o afastamento da docência como atividade de “aprender” e sua relevância para a atividade de “ensinar”. Somos cientes que muitas são as exigências e demandas contemporâneas e como estas se tornaram elementos importantes para se problematizar a atuação docente da atualidade. Obviamente, que nesse contexto, a consciência de qualquer uma destas fragilidades já é razão para o sofrimento psíquico em função da ideia de que nenhum professor gosta de abrir mão da “arrogância narcísica”, a qual mascara a nossa “falta” de saber, e tantas outras “faltas”, como falta de internet, falta de formação e falta de infraestrutura tecnológica, conduzindo-nos ao sofrimento psíquico da profissão.

Simulation and Its Discontents
How the simulation and visualization technologies so pervasive in science, engineering, and design have changed our way of seeing the world. Over the past twenty years, the technologies of simulation and visualization have changed our ways of looking at the world. In Simulation and Its Discontents, Sherry Turkle examines the now dominant medium of our working lives and finds that simulation has become its own sensibility. We hear it in Turkle's description of architecture students who no longer design with a pencil, of science and engineering students who admit that computer models seem more “real” than experiments in physical laboratories. Echoing architect Louis Kahn's famous question,...

Multiple Intelligences Around the World
Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) has become a cornerstone of American education. This is the first book to draw upon an international network of MI practitioners to share stories and strategies of educational innovation. Each contributor addresses key questions of MI application. How have different people implemented MI? How do different cultures assimilate this intelligence theory to fit their educational values and traditions? What kinds of cultural conflicts are encountered along the way? And, what universal lessons can be drawn from these experiences?
