A obra oferece introspecções intelectuais e extrospecções didáticas dos autores nas diversas áreas do conhecimento imersos nos fazeres docentes e aprendizagens discentes enquanto resultados de pesquisas e experiências educacionais. Com isso, o estudo exarado nos capítulos, a presente publicação contribui com textos que versam de algum modo, direta ou indiretamente, a educação e o ensino numa perspectiva da teoria ou pela prática pedagógica com a intenção de trazer ideias interdisciplinares e questionamentos para incentivar o debate a respeito do ensino e da aprendizagem. Tudo isso se revela por meio de novos e múltiplos olhares interdisciplinares na educação e articulados pelos conhecimentos teóricos aos práticos, possibilitando ampliar e significar os múltiplos saberes para Pensar e Fazer a Educação.
A obra EDUCAÇÃO EM TEMPOS DE COVID-19 nos apresenta importantes reflexões sobre os novos desafios que estávamos protelando sobre uma educação a distância ou sobre o uso das tecnologias dentro de sala de aula como recursos pedagógicos. A pandemia ao mesmo tempo que nos mergulha num isolamento, nos abre um leque de novas possibilidades para se pensar a educação na contemporaneidade. É também um momento propício para se pensar a solidariedade e a amizade. Se não bastassem as dificuldades enfrentadas em sala de aula presencial, agora as famílias e alunos em geral precisaram se adaptar às novas metodologias, recursos tecnológicos e os problemas que seu uso, ou falta, lhes impõe....
A obra reúne estudos e pesquisas sobre a Educação Profissional e Tecnológica, que foram desenvolvidos por integrantes do TransformAção - Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Políticas Públicas e Trabalho Pedagógico na Educação Profissional do Colégio Técnico Industrial de Santa Maria (CTISM/UFSM). Assim, os capítulos contemplam as temáticas: Ensino Médio Integrado (EMI); Educação de Jovens e Adultos integrada à Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EJA-EPT); Inclusão na EPT; Educação Profissional na Rede Estadual; Gestão na/da EPT e Cursos Técnicos Subsequentes. Os estudos aqui reunidos abordam as diversas realidades, desafios e perspectivas dessa modalidade de ensino, buscando inspirar novas reflexões, discussões e práticas na Educação Profissional, tanto para contribuir com o avanço das políticas e dos espaços educacionais, quanto com a formação integral do sujeito.
Methods of Statistical Model Estimation examines the most important and popular methods used to estimate parameters for statistical models and provide informative model summary statistics. Designed for R users, the book is also ideal for anyone wanting to better understand the algorithms used for statistical model fitting.The text presents algorith
Why has the promise of American democracy been so persuasive to immigrants despite prejudice regarding cultural inferiority, a history of slavery and genocide, violations of human rights, media manipulations, and imperial self-righteousness? How can we analyze, understand, and evaluate the response patterns of immigrants, which evolved after the shock of arrival in the United States and the encounter with severe democratic shortcomings? This book investigates patriotic dissent of naturalized German immigrants to overcome what I call "the democratic gap," namely the discrepancy between democratic ideals and practices. By turning to six force fields (abolitionism, female emancipation, cultural pluralism, patriotic performance culture, the civil rights movement, and Holocaust consciousness), a comparison of democratic criticism between German immigrants and African American writers reveals the underlying premises of transcultural confrontations and hidden motives behind declarations of Americanness. The response patterns discussed are also relevant for other immigrant groups such as Asian Americans, Arab Americans, or Hispanic and Latino Americans.
This Bayesian modeling book provides a self-contained entry to computational Bayesian statistics. Focusing on the most standard statistical models and backed up by real datasets and an all-inclusive R (CRAN) package called bayess, the book provides an operational methodology for conducting Bayesian inference, rather than focusing on its theoretical and philosophical justifications. Readers are empowered to participate in the real-life data analysis situations depicted here from the beginning. Special attention is paid to the derivation of prior distributions in each case and specific reference solutions are given for each of the models. Similarly, computational details are worked out to lead...
There are, by now, several long term, time series data sets on important housing & macro variables, such as land prices, house prices, and the housing wealth-to-income ratio. However, an appropriate theory that can be employed to think about such data and associated research questions has been lacking. We present a new housing & macro model that is designed specifically to analyze the long term. As an illustrative application, we demonstrate that the calibrated model replicates, with remarkable accuracy, the historical evolution of housing wealth (relative to income) after World War II and suggests a further considerable increase in the future. The model also accounts for the close connection of house prices to land prices in the data. We also compare our framework to the canonical housing & macro model, typically employed to analyze business cycles, and highlight the main differences.
Analytical Pyrolysis: Techniques and Applications provides an overview of analytical pyrolysis applied to geochemistry, biology, polymers, and biomass. This book presents a survey of basic phenomena, data analysis, and instrumentation. Organized into 15 chapters, this book begins with an overview of mass spectrometry in developing ion sources that are applicable to materials that either have low volatility, high molecular weight, are thermally unstable or some combination of the three. This text then examines the role of thermal processes in many of the desorption methods. Other chapters consider desorption techniques, which are closely allied to analytical pyrolysis. This book discusses as well the Flash Vacuum Pyrolysis/Field Ionization Mass Spectrometry (FVP/FIMS) technique, which is based on a direct link between the pyrolysis unit and a double focusing mass spectrometer. The final chapter deals with inert atmosphere poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) thermal decomposition. This book is a valuable resource for chemists and researchers.
From ancient Greek times, music has been seen as a mathematical art, and the relationship between mathematics and music has fascinated generations. This work links these two subjects in a manner that is suitable for students of both subjects, as well as the general reader with an interest in music.
The 3rd edition of this popular textbook introduces the reader to the investigation of vegetation systems with an emphasis on data analysis. The book succinctly illustrates the various paths leading to high quality data suitable for pattern recognition, pattern testing, static and dynamic modelling and model testing including spatial and temporal aspects of ecosystems. Step-by-step introductions using small examples lead to more demanding approaches illustrated by real world examples aimed at explaining interpretations. All data sets and examples described in the book are available online and are written using the freely available statistical package R. This book will be of particular value ...
