Resting on bibliographic reference, this paper focuses on the subject of the Historical-Critical Pedagogy (PHC). It aims to discuss about PHC, taking elements from its historical and conceptual path brought about from the ideas of intellectual and activist Dermeval Saviani, since the late 1970s, up to the achievement of its collective character, in a movement that builds a critical pedagogical theory of the relationship schoolsociety. Historical, philosophical, psychological, economical, socio-political and methodological aspects constitutive of this anti-establishment theory are approached, as a possibility for the educational work to be developed in public schools, to answer the working class' needs. It's a necessary path to be followed by education professionals. It is a theory that has as one of its central assumptions the defense of classic knowledge domains, the curriculum as a fighting tool against the weapons deployed by the ruling classes. The PHC thus upholds a project of education and school. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an overview of the situation of professional masters in the Ensino area at the National Graduate System. Through bibliographical and documentary research tools, we conducted this quantitative study, in which we analyzed data from the graduate programs in Brazil. The Ensino area was established in 2000, and nowadays is the one that has most professional programs, 56% of it, and the data show that demand for such courses continues to grow. Given this expansion, we studied the impact of professional courses regulation by Ordinance CAPES / MEC No. 17/2009, analyzing the proposals for new courses before and after that. We compared the academic and professionals programs by their technical productivity, percentage of proposals for new courses and programs, checking the limiting factors for its implementation and its performance in periodic reassessments. We found that the professional masters are growing in quantity and quality, but still has less scientific productivity compared to academic programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The methodology consisted in to apply two questionnaires to students, (one at the beginning and another at the end of the intervention activities), with the purpose of diagnosing and assessing the level of knowledge about Paleontology, and another to verify the availability of the interference activities as a tool in teaching and learning process. The activities consisted of lecture, workshop of fossil replicas and a visit to the Laboratories of the Biological Sciences Course of Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UFT). Students in both schools showed up like a similar level of paleontological knowledge. At first it was possible to verify a low paleontological knowledge by students.

This paper seeks to question this "pedagogical prejudice", making room for a debate addressed to the understanding of the sociological and philosophical knowledge as constitutive knowledge of one of the main social functions of the school, namely: the education for citizenship. We bring also the discussion of the specificity of Sociology and Philosophy in the School, including such disciplines as members of an educational project founded to build a "prudent knowledge for a decent life," as teaches us today, Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2006).

The research in Education finds in the cinema a new investigative field of exploration. Furthermore, when the object of interest is related to the body in its various nuances - educational, cultural, social historical, philosophical -, we have in films a privileged possibility of extending the experiment of the thought. In this paper, basing on the work of the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, we assume that the statutes of the films images in the research domain needs to be envisioned in another way: not as mere methodological strategies, but as indirect language doing the researcher to see and think otherwise. This text, inspired by this assumption, follows the following steps: a reflection on the body and the vision in Merleau-Ponty's thought, which allows us to question how address ourselves to the images and to the world of visibility, to the visible and to the invisible of what we see. This first inspiration leads to epistemological and ontological nuances that surround the relationship between the body and the cinema. Our point of orientation is the text The cinema and the new psychology, whose reading permeates our view of the real and the imaginary. Subsequently, we present an example of how another treatment of the images is possible. Finally in conclusion we list some implications of these perceptions for investigations in the field of Education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
