¿Qué llega de la historiografía académica a la historiografía escolar? Una exploración en torno a la temática de la última dictadura en la escuela secundaria

Este trabajo se interroga sobre los diálogos entre historiografía académica y escolar en torno al abordaje de la última dictadura. A través del análisis de diseños curriculares vigentes, libros escolares y otros materiales didácticos de reciente edición explora las perspectivas de abordaje, los conceptos adoptados, así como las referencias académicas más recurrentes. En conjunto, muestra que la historiografía escolar se relaciona en grados variables de convergencias y distancias con el mundo académico por causa de los límites, intencionalidades, tiempos y lógicas que las diferencian y las aproximan. Además, el trabajo indica que, por un lado, la historiografía escolar utiliza ciertas perspectivas y estabiliza algunas referencias del mundo académico y, por otro, no presenta una conceptualización unívoca aun cuando expone un sólido consenso de condena a la última dictadura.

Embedding Augmented Reality Technology In The Educational Learning System


 
 Augmented Reality (AR) technology has effective potential that enhances and replaces the old way of learning into a new digitized smart learning environment by converting the school books into a virtual 3D environment, which helps students extracting and absorbing complex concepts in less amount of time. AR is a computer vision-based technology that works by tracking the surrounding using a smartphone camera and then superimposing virtual 3D objects into the real world. The capabilities of AR make classes more engaging, collaborative, and interactive. Studying may not be every student's cup of tea but with the help of a smart learning environment; school lessons can be much more interesting, interactive, and fun to learn.

As Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis em livros didáticos de biologia do ensino médio: uma análise de conteúdo

The aim of this study was to analyze the content of STIs in the didactic collections of Biology of 2018 recommended by the National High School Textbook Program (NHSTP) of the Ministry of Education. Eight didactic collections of biology of NHSTP were selected and analyzed. The methodology of the study was thematic content analysis, with the definition of five categories a priori: location of the theme; structure and formatting; content; language and visual resources that were divided into criteria and subcriteria. The other books evaluated did not address the subject to the satisfaction, being flawed/superficial, which shows that the theme STIs can still be better explored in some biology textbooks in high school. Therefore, it is still important to encourage teachers to explore the subject better with their students, going beyond textbooks. Thus, the study concluded that most of the high school books recommended by NHSTP do not address the theme STIs effectively, generating the need for complementary didactic planning by teachers in order to broaden the debate on this subject in the classroom.

Is The Library Important? Multivariate Studies at the National and International Level

Three multivariate analyses, all controlling for the effects of poverty, confirm the importance of the library. Replicating McQuillan’s analysis of 1992 NAEP scores, access to books in school and public libraries was a significant predictor of 2007 fourth grade NAEP reading scores, as well as the difference between grade 4 and grade 8 2007 NAEP reading scores, suggesting that access is important for improvement after grade 4. Access (school/classroom libraries) was a significant predictor of scores on the PIRLS test, a reading test given to fourth graders in 40 countries.

Designing Multiplayer Serious Games with Science Content

Serious Games (SGs) could be enriched with collaborative learning techniques, an approach that has the potential to increase the players’ gaming and learning experience. However, the design of Multiplayer Serious Games (MSGs) with science content needs to be facilitated with methods and tools that provide coherent designs. This research proposes a methodology that employs the design technique of personas to effectively describe the multiplayer design patterns and the game narrative according to the content of a science school book and, at the same time, balancing the educational and the entertaining character of a SG. We evaluated the suggested methodology with two groups of professionals who were assigned with the task to design a MSG, integrating the same educational content according to the suggested methodology. The designs were qualitatively examined, confirming the potential of the Multiplayer Serious Game Methodology (MSGM) to facilitate the science content integration. We expect that the MSGM could assist groups of professionals, such as teachers and developers to create coherent MSG designs.

Education and the Vernacular in 19th Century Bengal: Translation, Print, and Standardization

With the introduction of print modalities and the subsequent introduction of modern/western education systems, the questions of language, vernacular e ducation, book production, and translations became important in 19 th century Bengal. As the introduction of a new epistemological system in 19 th century Bengal necessitated the production of books and translations, several western knowle dge texts got translated into Bengali by the efforts of various individuals and institutions. These translations play a pivotal role in producing textbooks in Bengali and represent a site where the structure and vocabulary of the Bengali language got standardised and redefined through printed language and language of translations. This study tracks the translations produced by the collaboration of Fort William College and Serampore Missionary Press, Calcutta Sc hool Book Society and Vernacular Literature Society and argues that the translations produced by these institutions gave shape to a kind of Bengali language that represented a class and social hierarchy. This study argues that the translations produced by the aforementioned institutions and the printed textbooks paved a way for the upper-class urban elites to mould the Bengali language in their way (by excluding the colloquial register and language of the masses) to represent their ethos and class hierarchy and identity. This study argues that the translations produced by these institutions, in many ways, were the tools through which the various contesting views on the form and diction of the language of/in print got articulated.

Diversified Services of Delivering the Passion of Reading to Campuses

Living in a world of television, computer games, and a visual online world, children and books become more distant. Reading habits of the next generation determine the future of the nation. Many nations in the world promote a reading environment, raising reading ability as policy priority. The Kaohsiung Public Library has been the landmark of effortful and proactive promotion of reading in southern Taiwan. In recent years, in order to complement school education, and raise national competency, the Kaohsiung Public Library has, based on the principal of “Customer Center, Proactive and Progressive”, reached out to numerous campuses, providing diversified services to promote and raise the level of literacy of school children. Mayor Ju-lan Ye, a great enhancer and promoter of reading, in addition to founding the “Reading with the Mayor: the Chrysanthemum Reading Club” to read with under-privileged groups, has added 5,000,000 NT dollars to the originally allocated budget for the purchase of books for elementary and middle schools to enrich the library collections. Through the various strategies to promote children’s reading, the Kaohsiung Public Library has disseminated the seeds for reading in every corner of campuses where students can read and enrich their lives in the world of books.

Breaking Barriers with Student-Centred Teaching and Learning using Library Books in the United States' Poorest Schools

An analysis of a random sample of the 2930 applications for library books to a private U.S. Foundation from schools having 75% or more of students on free or reduced lunch identifies characteristics of these poorest schools and demonstrates how they would use the newly acquired books in relation to student and collection needs. Results reveal the impact of national and state legislation, the widespread use of the Accelerated Reader System, and the need for bilingual and multicultural books. These libraries appear more focused on improving student achievement test scores than on promoting general information literacy.

Paleontologia e ensino básico: análise dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais e dos livros didáticos em Juiz de Fora, MG, Brasil

Paleontology and basic education: analysis of Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais and textbooks in Juiz de Fora, MG, Brazil. Paleontology has a crucial role in teaching Science and Biology for helping to understand different natural processes, although there is limited space in its school approach. It is necessary to understand how its content has been worked by the teachers, both quantitatively and qualitatively. In order to understand how their themes are addressed by basic education textbooks, in private and public schools in Juiz de Fora, after analyzing the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (National Curriculum Parameters, translated by the authors) - PCNs and their guidelines, from the sixth to the ninth year of elementary school and of the entire high school, a table of presence or absence was set up, with the main themes in Paleontology indicated, analyzing which were present in each book. For qualitative analysis, 11 questions were listed. The analysis included 22 themes in 18 elementary school and 15 high school books. High school books had the largest number of topics covered, with 123 presences, and elementary school, 69. The most present themes were: “Origin of Life”, “Theory of Evolution” and “Fossil Concept”; the least addressed: “Types of Fossils”, “Fossils as Non-Renewable Natural Resources” and “Great Extinctions”. Most books deal with subjects with no connection with other areas, without contextualization, with rare interdisciplinarity and relationship with environmental issues, necessary to confront science denialism and the recent risks of educational retrogression. The results reveal the importance of broadening the discussion on how to address Paleontology in basic education, assessing school incentives, teachers’ motivation, the perception of the importance of teaching this science, and the use of other tools besides the textbook. Keywords: science teaching, Base Nacional Comum Curricular, school, environmental education, fossils.

EFL TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS ON USING PEDAGOGICAL MODULES IN ECUADOR: A FOCUS GROUP INTERVIEW

English language textbooks are widely used as one of the essential resources in education. In Ecuador, local authorities created specific course books for state schools and high schools called pedagogical modules. Hence, the terms pedagogical textbook, course book, and modules will be used interchangeably. This study aims to explore perceptions of Ecuadorian English as a Foreign Language teachers on implementing the pedagogical modules to state schools, which were provided by the Ministry of Education. Besides, participants will provide perceptions on the connection of the mentioned textbooks with the Ecuadorian National Curriculum. The study includes an exploratory qualitative design using a focus group interview with eight EFL teachers from primary and secondary schools. The focus group interview findings indicated that teachers have both positive and negative perceptions towards using these pedagogical textbooks. Teachers agree that these pedagogical modules promote English learning success in a contextualized and authentic way by connecting aspects from the curriculum and current ELT principles. Nonetheless, all of the teachers indicated that integrating the pedagogical modules to state schools was, in many ways, disorganized. Based on the results, this study suggests constructive changes to specialists in charge of creating and editing EFL pedagogical modules.

Mikhail Lomonosov's Image in School Books of the 19th — 21th Centuries

National and civil identity base on the mass historical consciousness, which in its turn is formed partly by the means of teaching history at schools. So school-books are an important instrument of the state-power and academic society used to influence the development of historical memory and national consciousness. In the course of time authors of school books reorient from one events and figures to some other, shift accents, estimates and interpretations. The figure of M. V. Lomonosov stays constant in the course of decades. His significance and positive estimate seem not to change. However we cannot say that the image really does not change at all. The transformations of the great Russian scientist on the pages of school books are under consideration in this article. The author differentiates the constant consistent of the narratives, which stay the same in course of many decades; accent shifts, changes in fact choice and interpretations. The main base of the research is the school books for history and literature; sciences, physics and chemistry books are used too. The analysis of school-books leads the author of current research to the following conclusions. The story of childhood and youth of M. V. Lomonosov, the image of encyclopedist and enlightener, the patriotic motive slightly changed throughout the period under consideration. The changing motives are: estimate of the port’s talent, role in Moscow university foundation, the image of Elisabeth’s magnate and the image of pious Christian / church and religious prejudice antagonist.
