A obra, dividida originalmente em saúde e educação, possui textos aparentemente desconexos entre si. No entanto, trazem consigo o rigor científico necessário para suas análises e proposições, o que os interliga na construção dos saberes.
Aqui, o(a) leitor(a) vai encontrar relevantes contribuições a respeito das conexões entre educação e saberes, dando ênfase à (inter) relação entre educação e saúde. Trata-se de uma expressiva reunião de artigos paradoxalmente “in” e “inter” dependentes alimentados pela espinha dorsal do viés educacional em seu sentido mais amplo.
No espaço escolar, uma das dificuldades encontradas pelos docentes é o exercício da reflexão sobre a prática pedagógica. A apropriação de teorias se constitui em um caminho para subsidiar essas reflexões e promover melhorias na prática do ensino. A partir das teorias, o professor pode aprimorar seu saber-fazer e seu instrumento de ação pedagógica. O objetivo do presente estudo é analisar os desafios do ensino de História na contemporaneidade. Os estudos apoiaram-se na realização de observações das práticas pedagógicas e, consequentemente, de registros decorrentes de reflexões diárias de aprendizagens. A partir daí, por meio da relação entre teoria e prática, reconhece-se a extrema importância que a reflexão crítica desempenha na formação de educadores e suas respectivas implicações sobre o exercício pedagógico. A metodologia adotada foi a revisão sistemática da bibliográfica específica, definindo a pesquisa, por conseguinte, enquanto qualitativa descritiva, de cunho indutivo, com posterior estudo de caso.
This book is a study of earnings management, aimed at scholars and professionals in accounting, finance, economics, and law. The authors address research questions including: Why are earnings so important that firms feel compelled to manipulate them? What set of circumstances will induce earnings management? How will the interaction among management, boards of directors, investors, employees, suppliers, customers and regulators affect earnings management? How to design empirical research addressing earnings management? What are the limitations and strengths of current empirical models?
This collection of 24 essays explores what happens when proponents of writing across the curriculum (WAC) use the latest computer-mediated tools and techniques--including e-mail, asynchronous learning networks, MOOs, and the World Wide Web--to expand and enrich their teaching practices, especially the teaching of writing. Essays and their authors are: (1) "Using Computers to Expand the Role of Writing Centers" (Muriel Harris); (2) "Writing across the Curriculum Encounters Asynchronous Learning Networks" (Gail E. Hawisher and Michael A. Pemberton); (3) "Building a Writing-Intensive Multimedia Curriculum" (Mary E. Hocks and Daniele Bascelli); (4) "Communication across the Curriculum and Instit...
A singular and major historical view of the birth of electronic poetry. For the last five decades, poets have had a vibrant relationship with computers and digital technology. This book is a documentary study and analytic history of digital poetry that highlights its major practitioners and the ways that they have used technology to foster a new aesthetic. Focusing primarily on programs and experiments produced before the emergence of the World Wide Web in the mid-1990s, C. T. Funkhouser analyzes numerous landmark works of digital poetry to illustrate that the foundations of today’s most advanced works are rooted in the rudimentary generative, visual, and interlinked productions of the gen...
Coral reefs represent the most spectacular and diverse marine ecosystem on the planet as well as a critical source of income for millions of people. However, the combined effects of human activity have led to a rapid decline in the health of reefs worldwide, with many now facing complete destruction. Their world-wide deterioration and over-exploitation has continued and even accelerated in many areas since the publication of the first edition in 2009. At the same time, there has been a near doubling in the number of scientific papers that have been written in this short time about coral reef biology and the ability to acclimate to ocean warming and acidification. This new edition has been th...
