Despite its importance, several barriers and challenges impede the effective development of the teaching profession. This study aims to investigate these obstacles through the perceptions of elementary school students and teachers, providing insights into the current state of CPD in education. A survey method was used to gather data from 150 participants, including students and teachers, to explore their perceptions of CPD. The survey focused on various aspects of CPD, including educational practices, learning processes, professional development activities, and supporting mechanisms. The findings revealed significant differences in perceptions between students and teachers across the examined aspects. Teachers predominantly prioritized the learning process in their professional development efforts. Major obstacles identified included a lack of motivation and insufficient intervention for practicing teachers. Additionally, a critical challenge for teachers was the deficiency of high-quality resources necessary to conduct effective research in learning methodologies. The disparity in perceptions between students and teachers highlights the need for more targeted CPD programs that address the specific needs of educators. Enhancing motivation and providing adequate support and resources are essential for overcoming these barriers. Addressing these challenges can lead to more effective teaching practices and ultimately improve the quality of education. This study underscores the importance of understanding the barriers and challenges to CPD from both students' and teachers' perspectives. By prioritizing the learning process and addressing motivational and resource-related issues, stakeholders can better support the professional development of teachers, leading to improved pedagogical outcomes.

The process of industrialization and urbanization development has led to environmental degradation and a gradual decline in the quality of life of the world's population. In the Amazon, this process acquires fundamental importance, especially in the context of water resources in urban spaces and one of the most necessary actions to build water management mechanisms is educational action. In this sense, environmental education reflects the importance of assigning relevance to individual and collective participation in maintaining the natural cycle of life in all its construction and application dynamics. In this way, educational institutions have the responsibility to train and guide students and communities to better understand their cultural concepts and expand the meaning of actions in the context of environmental education practices. Considering this context, the theme selected for this research was the sustainable use of water, with the main objective of analyzing the environmental perceptions of elementary school students in Manaus, Amazonas, on this theme in the Amazon. The descriptive research had a qualitative-quantitative approach and was carried out through digital platforms with students from the Francisco Guedes de Queiroz Municipal School. The work developed comprised a total of 89 students from the 6th and 7th year and a smaller group with 5 students from the 6th year. A questionnaire was applied, with structured, objective and subjective questions, sent by the Google Forms platform to the cell phones of the students' guardians. The results showed that students' perception on the subject is still limited, but it already reflects a view on the need for environmental protection. Environmental Education activities are fundamental for the insertion of themes experienced by students in the construction of knowledge and citizenship. This theme emphasizes the current need for environmental education in a systematized environment, which arouses the interest of students, bringing benefits to society, and which aims to form a responsible citizen.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ ВЗАИМОСВЯЗИ МЕЖДУ ФОРМИРОВАНИЕМ КАНАЛОВ ВОСПРИЯТИЯ И РАЗВИТИЕМ ИНТЕЛЛЕКТА МЛАДШИХ ШКОЛЬНИКОВ

The article presents results of a psychological study that focuses on the polymodality of the student’s perception as an important aspect of the learning and cognitive process in elementary school. It is known that the development of intellect is the main purpose of education at all stages of schooling, however, perception is also actively developed at primary school age. Therefore, we decided to conduct a formative lesson-experiment aimed at developing the visual and auditory perception of elementary school students. Since the program of the formative experiment included mobile and didactic games, we chose physical education lessons to implement our plan. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that, using the natural need for movement, it is possible to develop the modalities of perception of younger students in the conditions of educational activity, without tearing them away from the educational process. The article presents a correlation between intelligence and the auditory and visual perception of younger students. We found that by developing the modalities of a child’s perception through a combination of outdoor and didactic games, it is possible to influence the overall level of mental development of younger students. Therefore, we came to the conclusion that it is important to develop the above modalities of perception at that particular stage of schooling

Students’ question asking process: a model based on the perceptions of elementary school students and teachers

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of fourth-grade elementary school students and their teachers regarding students’ asking-question in order to develop a model of students’ asking-question process. A phenomenological research has been utilized and interviews were conducted with seven teachers and nine students from three public elementary schools in Istanbul, Turkey. The results showed that students generally ask questions when they are curious about the topic and want to learn the topic. Teachers pointed out situations encouraging students to ask such as creating a comfortable and active classroom environment, designing interesting activities fostering questioning, welcoming students’ questions, and being a role model for asking good questions. There is also evidence that teachers’ reactions such as being nervous or uncomfortable, ignoring them, not responding and classmates’ reactions such as making fun of, humiliating, not listening to are considered as obstacles for students while asking questions. Moreover, it was concluded that students’ questions have affirmative effects on both students and teachers. Finally, based on these results, a three-stage cycled model was developed; antecedents (internal and external causal factors), action-reaction (the act of asking questions, the reaction of teachers and classmates) and impact (impact on students and teachers). Keywords: asking questions, student questions, elementary education, phenomenological research.

Perceptions of Elementary School Students about Virtual Classes during Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic in Brazil

The new coronavirus outbreak determined the closure of schools and universities around the world. In Brazil, implementation of online teaching faced many challenges, especially for public schools. We analyzed, via an online questionnaire, the speech of children aged 6 to 11 years old to evaluate their thoughts about virtual classes. The results showed a significant negative correlation between children’s learning perception and their feelings about online classes. A duration longer than 3 hours for the virtual classes was associated with students perceiving them as “boring” and “tiresome”; and children who did not enjoy being taught in front of a screen also perceived their learning during this period as “poor”. Possible psychological impacts for children under confinement, like fear and stress may have contributed to these perceptions. Our limitations were: the small sample size compared with Brazil’s population and, also the concentration of answers in the southern (the richest and most developed) region. When giving children predefined answers, we could not be able to realize the true dimension of their emotions. The results showed that there is a need for institutions to prepare a good virtual environment for teaching, with proper training for the staff involved and attractive classes, able to captivate the students’ attention and allow better learning. In a vast territory like Brazil, there is a need of proper public policies and funding to allow better internet access and reduce educational inequality. Families shall be warned to pay attention to children’s signs of poor mental health, once confinement may be a trigger for symptoms of anxiety and depression, a synergistic conjunction that is able to deteriorate the capacity of attention and our children’s ability of learning.

Percepção de alunos do ensino fundamental sobre a conservação de insetos polinizadores e construção de um jardim floral

RESUMO: Os animais polinizadores são componentes fundamentais nos ecossistemas terrestres e essenciais para o bom desempenho dos serviços ecológicos em ambientes naturais e agrícolas. A consequência mais nefasta das ameaças à biodiversidade é, sem sombra de dúvida, a extinção de uma espécie. Desta forma, fez-se necessário conhecer a percepção dos alunos do ensino fundamental sobre a importância dos insetos polinizadores e as plantas que os atraem, repassando informações com ênfase na conservação destes. A intervenção foi aplicada na escola municipal de educação básica Maria Iraci Teófilo de Castro – Taquarana, AL para 59 alunos, referentes a duas turmas de 6° ano. A ação foi desenvolvida por meio de uma palestra com ênfase na conscientização acerca da importância da conservação dos polinizadores e seus habitats, juntamente a uma oficina de plantio de 150 sementes de plantas florais. Antes das informações serem repassadas, o desempenho dos discentes ao responderem o questionário demonstrou-se de forma negativa. A falta de conhecimento dos discentes sobre o assunto implica no desencadear de sérios problemas, pois, no instante em que o público não conhece o problema em questão, ele se torna incapaz de solucionar ou reduzi-lo. É evidente a necessidade de trabalhar com os alunos o aspecto da importância dos polinizadores para os ecossistemas naturais, pois a educação ambiental só será eficaz se levar os alunos a terem a percepção do mundo que os cerca, envolvendo-os de forma a despertar uma consciência crítica que busca soluções para o problema.
