Em agosto de 2023, o Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação Matemática e Ensino de Física (PPGEMEF) da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM) comemorou dez anos do ingresso de sua primeira turma. Em comemoração a essa trajetória, passamos a constituir uma coleção que contém estudos sobre Docência e Formação de Professores que Pesquisam e Ensinam Matemática e Física em Diferentes Contextos, bem como sobre Ensino e Aprendizagem de Física e Matemática. Essas obras destinam-se a estudantes de licenciatura, docentes e pesquisadores que atuam na Educação Básica e na Educação Superior, nas áreas de Educação em Ciências e Matemática e apresentam resultados de pesquisas acerca de processos de ensino e de aprendizagem, saberes docentes e discentes, além dos processos formativos de professores.
A presente obra é a reunião de estudos de temáticas como Ensino-Aprendizagem, História, Filosofia e Sociologia da Ciência que são de interesse em linhas de pesquisa da área de Ensino. O livro reúne estudos epistemológicos e pesquisas teórico-experimentais no campo do Ensino de Ciências. Contempla elementos como a discussão da natureza do conhecimento científico-tecnológico, abordagens históricas e filosóficas, relações epistêmicas entre ciência e tecnologia, abordagens teóricas e metodológicas dos processos de ensino em propostas didáticas e investigações em sala de aula.
This lecture examines the ways in which digital technologies can contribute to rethinking existing educational models in order to achieve our ambitions for education.
This book presents a mobile technology capacity building framework that offers academics, students, and practitioners involved in workplace education a deeper understanding of, and practical guidance on, how mobile technology can enhance professional learning. Approaching professional and workplace learning as a hybrid space in which work, learning and technology meet, the book discusses the value of mobile technology in shaping professional education, particularly during student placements. The framework focuses on staying professional and safe, considering issues of time and place, planning learning activities, initiating dialogue, networking, creating learning opportunities on-the-go, and deepening reflection. It is designed to assist students and their educators to use mobile technology knowledgeably and responsibly, and to help bridge the gap between university learning and workplace practice. This book also contributes to a better understanding of the interconnectedness between learning, practice and technology. It demonstrates how to enhance learning and working with mobile technology by drawing on two perspectives: the 'professional-plus' and the 'deliberate professional'.
Educational researchers are bound to see this as a timely work. It brings together the work of leading experts in argumentation in science education. It presents research combining theoretical and empirical perspectives relevant for secondary science classrooms. Since the 1990s, argumentation studies have increased at a rapid pace, from stray papers to a wealth of research exploring ever more sophisticated issues. It is this fact that makes this volume so crucial.
The goal of this book is to introduce a reader to a new philosophy of teaching and learning physics - Investigative Science Learning Environment, or ISLE (pronounced as a small island). ISLE is an example of an "intentional" approach to curriculum design and learning activities (MacMillan and Garrison 1988 A Logical Theory of Teaching: Erotetics and Intentionality). Intentionality means that the process through which the learning occurs is as crucial for learning as the final outcome or learned content. In ISLE, the process through which students learn mirrors the practice of physics.
The skills of ‘critical thinking’ occupy a contentious place in debates on education. It is of course widely recognised that education must consist of more than an unreasoning accumulation of facts and skills, and that modern society demands a highly-developed critical awareness to cope with its ever-increasing complexities. Yet the very term ‘critical thinking’ threatens to become a vague and unexamined slogan, displayed more in party tricks than in useful knowledge. In this book, first published in 1981, Professor McPeck offers a critique of the major ideas and important work in the field, including those of Ennis and de Bono, while at the same time presenting his own rigorous ideas on the proper place in critical thinking in the philosophy of education. The book aims to establish a sound basis on which the role of critical thinking in schools can be evaluated and the author makes a strong case for the contribution it can make to resolving current dilemmas of the curriculum.
Originally published in 1990, this title attempts to provide for the educational practitioner an overview of a field that responded in the 1980s to a major educational agenda. This innovative ‘agenda’ called for teaching students in ways that dramatically improved the quality of their thinking. Its context is a variety of changes in education that brought the explicit teaching of thinking to the consciousness of more and more teachers and administrators.
