The Russian psychologist L. S. Vygotsky (1896–1934) has been one of the central figures in the recent shift from the cognitive to the social and the cultural in educational and psychological research. A. N. Leontiev’s (1903–1979) activity theory has had a similar impact in the West. A. A. Leontiev’s (1936–2004) psycholinguistic theories have also started to attract increasing attention. The ideas of these scholars have also made their mark on second and foreign language learning research outside Russia. However, there is no one widely accepted, monolithic Vygotskian or Leontievian theory. Furthermore, the nature and role of language in action and activity remain open for debate. Th...
This book approaches the field of positive psychology from a post-modern perspective. It explores the consequences of combining current trends and models with supplementary participatory and transformative methods. The book brings a more collective, qualitative, culturally sensitive and transformative approach to the processes of making sense and implementing the science of positive psychology. It moves beyond the individual level towards a “knowledge community” and “knowledge of the communities”. The book is an invitation to more participatory and polyphonic dialogues in the field of positive psychology.
How Brazilian postwar avant-garde artists updated modernism in a way that was radically at odds with European and North American art historical narratives. Brazilian avant-garde artists of the postwar era worked from a fundamental but productive out-of-jointness. They were modernist but distant from modernism. Europeans and North Americans may feel a similar displacement when viewing Brazilian avant-garde art; the unexpected familiarity of the works serves to make them unfamiliar. In Constructing an Avant-Garde, Sérgio Martins seizes on this uncanny obliqueness and uses it as the basis for a reconfigured account of the history of Brazil’s avant-garde. His discussion covers not only widely...
Esta obra é fruto da pesquisa de Doutorado, realizada em uma escola pública municipal, em Teresina-PI, nos anos de 2016 a 2018, visando investigar as contribuições da formação continuada para a reelaboração das práticas pedagógicas dos professores no ensino de Ciências da Natureza nos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, a partir de considerações sobre a formação dos professores no Brasil, professores de Ciências da Natureza e seus aspectos históricos. A metodologia se deu por meio da pesquisa-ação, e explicita a "Formação Continuada de Professores dos Anos Iniciais e a Prática Pedagógica em Ciências da Natureza", com a compreensão dos professores sobre: formação, ...
Mas o que pudemos aprender com a formação inicial de professores que, realizada em nível médio, trazia em seu bojo um conjunto de ideais e de princípios que nos eram tão caros naquele momento político de luta pela democratização do Estado brasileiro e latino-americano? Em que ética e em que política estamos ancorados hoje, quando materializamos nas políticas públicas educacionais os fazeres e os saberes para a docência? Como considerar a dimensão técnica da formação sem nos afastarmos do engajamento político da formação docente? Desafios como esses estão ainda presentes em nossa prática docente, quer na condição de formadores de professores, quer na nossa própria formação como docentes. Lembrar dos olhos brilhantes dos secundaristas que se preparavam para serem professores, da literatura ético-política que se fazia presente nos livros didáticos dos anos 1970 e 1980 indicam que estávamos constituindo um trabalho de consciência política no campo educacional e que, hoje, precisa ser resgatado a cada dia na formação em nível superior. Com certeza, esta coletânea dará a sua contribuição nesta direção.
Este trabalho analisa a construção do Método Histórico na obra do historiador alemão Johann Gustav Droysen (1808-1884), fundado a partir da interpretação hermenêutica e alicerçado nas reflexões teóricas do Historicismo oitocentista. Para tanto, buscou-se contrastar as compreensões filosóficas da história com as concepções teóricas da História presentes na fundamentação metodológica droyseneana. Buscou-se ainda apontar para o uso da Hermenêutica na elaboração do Método Histórico, garantindo-lhe os meios adequados para lidar com o material histórico e construir as bases para uma discussão empírica em que as questões heurísticas, a crítica das fontes e a interpre...
