Research as a vital action in the DIPEC territory     

Ana MarÍa Perez Aguirre  Patricia Zorzoli  Paula Ramirez  Ramona Oviedo  Dora Vai  Gabriel Lopardo 《Educational Action Research》2013,21(1):51-60

The authors present the Didáctica de las Prácticas Escolares Cotidianas – The Didactics of Everyday School Practice (DIPEC). From their point of view, it owes its specificity to certain special characteristics, one of which is the inevitable presence of concrete, immediate teaching action, which presents particular problems and therefore particular ways of dealing with them. This article includes an example of a problematic situation, the way it was handled using Paulo Freire's methodology and the action subsequently developed.  相似文献   

Sexuality and human reproduction: a study of scientific knowledge,behaviours and beliefs of Portuguese future elementary school teachers     

Luísa Veiga  Filomena Teixeira  Isabel Martins  António Meliço‐Silvestre 《Sex education》2013,13(1):17-29

Sex education in Portugal has become a right and an obligation starting in the first years of school. However, despite being required by legislation, this is not easy to achieve, partly because of weaknesses in the training of teachers, which need to be identified. In this study, data were collected about the knowledge, behaviours and beliefs of 148 teacher trainees of elementary education (6–10 years old) from two Portuguese public higher education institutions. The topic of sexuality and human reproduction had been covered by almost all of them during their initial training and was considered important by most of them. Nevertheless, about 85% asserted they are not confident enough to teach this topic to small children in a classroom and committed scientific errors about physiological‐anatomical aspects of the human body. All subjects felt that there is a lack of specific didactic materials, which does not help to overcome those obstacles. It was also possible to identify in these future teachers risky sexual practices resulting, in part, from their beliefs, which could have implications about the way the topic will be approached in the classroom. These findings show how essential it is for training institutions to pay greater attention to the education of future elementary school teachers in this area.  相似文献

Teachers,teaching and educational exclusion: Pupil Referral Units and pedagogic practice     

ANALÍA MEO  ANDREW PARKER 《International Journal of Inclusive Education》2013,17(1):103-120

This paper presents the findings of a qualitative research project carried out in a UK Pupil Referral Unit during the 2000/01 academic year. It describes and analyses the strategies adopted by a small group of Behaviour Support Service teachers in order to achieve their everyday occupational goals. It is argued that despite their commitment to the reintegration of excluded pupils into mainstream schools, the pedagogic practices adopted by these teachers served to contribute to an amplification, rather than a moderation, of pupil disaffection and misbehaviour. Teachers' perceptions and understandings about the nature and aims of lesson content varied whilst concerns and preoccupations about classroom control remained constant. Within the context of ongoing government debates in the UK surrounding ‘social exclusion’ and, more specifically, educational exclusion, these findings call for a widening of the research agenda in these areas to include more detailed investigations of occupational circumstance and practitioner needs within non‐traditional school settings.  相似文献

Thoracoabdominal breathing motion pattern and coordination of professional ballet dancers     

Isabella Martins Rodrigues  Gustavo Ramos Dalla Bernardina  Karine Jacon Sarro  Guido Baroni  Pietro Cerveri  Amanda Piaia Silvatti 《Sports biomechanics / International Society of Biomechanics in Sports》2019,18(1):51-62

Ballet training includes exercises of high and moderate intensities, which require breathing control for a good performance. This study describes the thoracoabdominal motion of professional dancers and compares the breathing patterns between professional dancers and non-dancers. Participants of this study were four male and four female (30.33 ± 4.64 years) professional dancers and four male and four female (22.75 ± 1.49 years) non-dancers. The participants executed two breathing manoeuvres while sitting motionless: quiet breathing (QB) and vital capacity (VC). The 3D coordinates of 32 retro-reflective markers positioned on the trunk were used to calculate the volume of the superior thorax, inferior thorax and abdomen. Principal component analysis was applied in the volume variation of each trunk compartment to search for dominant independent variables in a breathing motion pattern. The correlation coefficient was calculated to verify the coordination between the compartments during the breathing manoeuvres. A predominance of the superior thorax or abdomen movement was found in both groups. The professional ballet dancers have an efficient breathing pattern and maintain the same breathing pattern in QB and VC manoeuvres. On the other hand, the non-dancers group showed relevant changes of the breathing pattern to respond to a greater breathing effort, like in VC.  相似文献   

The point of view of firms in Minas Gerais about the contribution of universities and research institutes to R&D activities     

Catari Vilela Chaves  Soraia Schultz Martins Carvalho  Leandro Alves Silva  Tânia Cristina Teixeira  Patrícia Bernardes 《Research Policy》2012,41(9):1683-1695

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the interactions between firms, universities and research institutes based in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The theoretical standpoint is the innovation system of developing countries. Multivariate cluster analysis is used, more specifically, the Grade of Membership method, to group firms with similar characteristics and evaluate their pattern of interaction with universities and research institutes. The main results show that the highest rates of interaction are found among firms that manufacture chemical products, cellulose, paper and paper products, followed by those engaged in the extraction of metallic and non-metallic minerals.  相似文献   

Is it worth establishing institutional repositories? The strategies for open access to Spanish peer‐reviewed articles     

Nerea RODRÍGUEZ‐ARMENTIA  Carlos B. AMAT 《Learned Publishing》2010,23(3):193-208

We examine open access to the Spanish scientific literature via investigation of a sample of peer‐reviewed articles in seven subject categories. Of the 28,259 papers published in 2000, 26.89% were freely accessible, with the share varying among disciplines. Articles in the social and behavioral sciences were the most widely available for free. This disciplinary divide applies also to the strategies used to offer open access to documents. In clinical medicine, life sciences, arts and humanities and social sciences open access was mainly based on the publishers' side, while subject‐based repositories were dominant in physical, chemical and earth sciences and deposit on homepages was the preferred strategy in engineering, computing and technology. Institutional and general repositories seem to play a minor role in providing free access to the Spanish peer‐reviewed literature. Papers published in commercial journals are less accessible than those that appear in non‐commercial journals, and we found overlaps in almost 20% of papers deposited. The fastest way to gain open access is to deposit in subject‐based repositories and the longest delays are related to deposits in homepages and especially to institutional repositories. Open access to Spanish peer‐reviewed articles is dominated by the passive mechanism of the “gold route” and the editorial strategy with self‐archiving practices in the minority and directed mainly towards subject‐based repositories and homepage posting of the papers. The results of this study could serve as a reference point for further study on the evolution of open access in Spain.  相似文献
