Interatividade nas TICs: abordagens sobre mídias digitais e aprendizagem

A forma com que os indivíduos estabelecem suas relações com o mundo tem mudado constantemente. As Novas Mídias e as Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) proporcionam maneiras diferenciadas no que diz respeito às práticas destes indivíduos, sejam essas em momentos de lazer, de estudo ou de trabalho. Os ambientes virtuais, através das mídias interativas, possibilitam a conexão de diferentes áreas do conhecimento e a convergência dos meios na potencialização dos mais variados campos, especialmente a partir da internet. Hoje em dia não basta apenas a disposição de plataformas como forma de repositório de conteúdos. A interatividade é o ponto chave nesta nova era,...

Accumulation & Innovation

This work focuses on the experience of a Brazilian cassava starch agro-industry in developing its technological capabilities since 1917, when it was first established. Its main purpose is to explore how the process of technological progress which occurred along with that industrialization, especially regarding the starch industry, has been determined by the following variables: I) the pattern of capital accumulation, II) the capability of the related technical base to both the promotion or absorption of technological changes, and III) firms' strategies towards innovation.

Brazilian researchers’ activity in international publication

O estudo é baseado em coleta de dados junto a pesquisadores brasileiros com experiência em publicações de artigos acadêmicos em periódicos internacionais, e examina uma gama de práticas correntes, de acordo com a Teoria da Atividade de Engestrom. A análise dessas práticas revela que há inúmeros e sérios conflitos dentro das atividades que compõe o objeto final, a publicação. Essas informações enfatizam a necessidade de políticas institucionais que apoiem o trabalho dos pesquisadores, tanto no campo da pesquisa quanto no letramento acadêmico em português e em língua estrangeira.

Language education and the university: fostering socially-just practices in undergraduate contexts. Volume 1: language, culture and discourse

Organizadores: Daniel de Mello Ferraz, Ana Paula Martinez Duboc ​ We don’t know what the future holds among so much polarization, hybrid wars, movements to disassemble public education, but the role of a teacher educator who is engaged and aware of its representation in the society cannot be denied and vanished. On the contrary, a teacher educator in the complexity of his/her role will inevitably be reference of resistance: creating discursive and theoretical opportunities, legitimizing knowledge other than those which comes top down. Certainly, this book will trigger other similar projects and contribute meaningfully to critical teacher education (Fabrício Ono). ​ ISBN: 978-65-5939-053-3 (brochura) 978-65-5939-054-0 (eBook) ​ DOI: 10.31560/pimentacultural/2020.540

Projective Processes and Neuroscience in Art and Design

  • Publisher: IGI Global

Recent advances in neuroscience suggest that the human brain is particularly well-suited to design things: concepts, tools, languages and places. Current research even indicates that the human brain may indeed have evolved to be creative, to imagine new ideas, to put them into practice, and to critically analyze their results. Projective Processes and Neuroscience in Art and Design provides a forum for discussion relating to the intersection of projective processes and cognitive neuroscience. This innovative publication offers a neuroscientific perspective on the roles and responsibilities of designers, artists, and architects, with relation to the products they design. Expanding on current research in the areas of sensor-perception, cognition, creativity, and behavioral processes, this publication is designed for use by researchers, professionals, and graduate-level students working and studying the fields of design, art, architecture, neuroscience, and computer science.
