This book shows how behavior analysis can be applied to teaching reading and writing to primary school students and to special populations, such as children with intellectual and hearing disabilities and illiterate adults.

The book is divided into four parts. The first part presents the theoretical f...
Este livro faz parte de uma coletânea de dois volumes sobre leitura e escrita. Neste volume II, 24 pesquisadores, vinculados a 10 universidades brasileiras, fazem uma síntese de investigações empíricas sobre ensino-aprendizagem de leitura e escrita, com diferentes populações (e.g., adultos, crianças com Deficiência Intelectual e Auditiva), sob a perspectiva da Análise do Comportamento, ciência com forte tradição no Brasil. Diálogos entre essa ciência e outras áreas de conhecimento (fonoaudiologia, linguística e educação) são também apresentados. De acordo com a Política Nacional de Alfabetização (PNA) o processo de alfabetização deve se basear em evidências científicas, as quais devem nortear a estruturação curricular e práticas de ensino. Esta obra é voltada para alunos de graduação, pós-graduação e profissionais de psicologia e áreas afins. Estes, encontrarão aqui, subsídios para a realização de novas investigações e para a tomada de decisões baseadas em evidências, em contextos de ensino de leitura e escrita.

This volume, The Brazilian Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science, is the first attempt to present to a general audience, works from Brazil on this subject. The included papers are original, covering a remarkable number of relevant topics of philosophy of science, logic and on the history of science. The Brazilian community has increased in the last years in quantity and in quality of the works, most of them being published in respectable international journals on the subject. The chapters of this volume are forwarded by a general introduction, which aims to sketch not only the contents of the chapters, but it is conceived as a historical and conceptual guide to the development of the field in Brazil. The introduction intends to be useful to the reader, and not only to the specialist, helping them to evaluate the increase in production of this country within the international context.
Examines the most important democratic challenges of today, using the Covid-19 pandemic as a case study.
There can be little doubt that there are truly colossal challenges associated with providing food, fibre and energy for an expanding world population without further accelerating already rapid rates of biodiversity loss and undermining the ecosystem processes on which we all depend. These challenges are further complicated by rapid changes in climate and its additional direct impacts on agriculture, biodiversity and ecological processes. There are many different viewpoints about the best way to deal with the myriad issues associated with land use intensification and this book canvasses a number of these from different parts of the tropical and temperate world. Chapters focus on whether science can suggest new and improved approaches to reducing the conflict between productive land use and biodiversity conservation. Who should read this book? Policy makers in regional, state and federal governments, as well as scientists and the interested lay public.
