This article aims to outline a profile of Controllership research in papers published in the annals of the National Association of Post-Graduate Programs and Research in Business Administration (EnANPAD) meeting and the USP Controllership and Accountancy Congress, from 2001 to 2006. The adopted research methodology comprised an exploratory study, with documentary analysis and a quantitative approach. The research results showed the main themes of these works, the adopted research methods, the different approaches to the study of Controllership, the researchers' affiliations and the bibliography consulted and referenced in the articles. It was concluded that, even though more papers were published in 2005, the volume is still small when compared to other themes focused on at these events. The small number of articles may also have been influenced by the search technique employed for selecting works, using the words Controllership, Controller, Management Accounting and Management Control, contained in the title, abstract or keywords. Nevertheless, this study is relevant to the extent that it contributes to the identifi cation of the qualitative and quantitative evolution of Controllership research in Brazil.

As the WHO declared the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, scientists had little information about the virus. Consequently, the United Nations called for joint efforts to disseminate scientific data about the disease. If from a medical and biological point of view, the response to the pandemic is well--known - which would be decisive in the fight against the virus -, minimal information about the communicative dimension of this crisis is shared, especially in the Communication Sciences scope, in a time when it was necessary to deliver risk messages to the population. From a sample of 20 journals with the highest impact factor in Scopus, this article tries to characterize the research that focused on the pandemic with communication in the first year of this crisis (March 2020-March 2021). In the 42 papers on COVID-19, we found that researchers did not work in a logic of international partnership, as the concerns about the digital impacts of COVID-19 on society were substantially notorious.

This paper presents an investigation about the presence of Miguel Jorge's books in scientific journals and theses and dissertations digital collections in the state of Goiás in the first two decades of the 21st century. For that, a bibliographic survey was carried out in fourteen magazines and three digital libraries of Universities in Goiás, finding a total of 03 papers and 12 dissertations that discussed the books of the aforementioned contemporary author. Given his relevant contribution to Brazilian literature, it is concluded that this writer has received attention from the academic-scientific production of the state of Goiás. Finally, we emphasize that scientific journals and postgraduate programs can effectively contribute to the expansion of the debate and recognizing local literary production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The city of Londrina (north of Paraná State) emancipated politically on December 10, 1934, five years after the arrival of the pioneers of the Companhia de Terras Norte do Paraná (CTNP) - mostly english owned company that began colonization in 1929. In October 1934, two months before being elevated to the status of municipality, was born the first communication vehicle in the city, the newspaper Paraná-Norte. Present from the beginning, the press reported on its pages the transformations that city suffered through the years, being a document of important historical value. This study therefore aims to analyze the beginning of the trajectory of Londrina's press from the place occupied by the image in the pages of the city's first newspaper, Paraná-Norte (1934-1953) and the magazine A Pioneira (1948-1954). To understand the importance of photography published in such vehicles as trace for writing the history of Londrina, it employed some research methodologies. The first was the literature, followed by the documentary analysis (MOREIRA, 2009) for all editions of the newspaper and magazine available to the public consultation, which allowed to write about the history of the two media pioneers. Already a comparative study of photography in Paraná-Norte and A Pioneira was done by iconographic analysis, proposed by Kossoy (2001). Faced with the impossibility of studying the universe of photographs published by two journals, we chose to select, via random draw, one copy per year of circulation newspaper and magazine. Thus, the study focused on 18 editions of Paraná-Norte (for the years 1951 and 1952 there are no copies available) and 7 of the magazine A Pioneira. Drawing on theoretical frameworks that deal with interfaces between story and image, press photography and memory, portraits and family albums, we conclude that, although the use of imagery has been explored differently by the two vehicles, even because of difficulties technical and financial, in both, the goal was the same: propagandize personal contributions, people, progress and local development.

This paper aims to articulate the theories of Martin Buber (Philosophical Anthropology) and Donald Wood Winnicott (Psychoanalysis) as they help us understand the world of infancy. In dialogue with these two authors, we come to understand that the ontological principle of the human being is the relationship as a mark of existence. Based on this principle, the concepts "relationship," "subtlety," "reciprocity" and "bond" are introduced in order to explore the relational dimension of the interactions between infants and adults in both educational and research contexts. Our text develops these four concepts and explores the part they play in the encounter between adults and infants, on the understanding that the latter is based on the effort to recognize each other as persons. We argue that for adults, the fundamental impulse toward infancy is to share the world through inviting their participation-an invitation in response to which babies launch themselves with the tenacity and impetus of an inaugural movement. The theoretical confluence of Winnicott's psychoanalysis and Buber's philosophical anthropology results in confirming that infants are intrinsically relational persons, and as such, these two thinkers' relational ontology has much to contribute to studies in infant education in particular and in the Human Sciences in general.

The objective of this paper is to analyze Applied Linguistics research, focusing on studies related to the teaching of language. We argue that Applied Linguistics, as it is practiced today, represents continuity with regard to research done in the 1940's, when the field started. Since its origin, the field of Applied Linguistics has aimed to understand and offer solutions to socially relevant problems that involve the use of language in educational contexts. The paper presents a brief history of reading research in Brazil in order to illustrate the development of Applied Linguistics research in the last fifty years. Three types of transformations in the field are discussed: territorial, epistemological and paradigmatic, this last one with focus on interpretative, situated research in school contexts and on a new research interest, language teacher education. In the final considerations, we propose a research agenda based on the categories discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to reflect over the need for insertion of research practices and discourse genres related to scientific research, both in primary and higher education schools. The theoretical framework was mainly the Bakhtinian and Swalesian approaches to discursive genres, in addition to works and documents about the insertion of research and literacy in genres at the different levels of education. The corpus consisted of twenty-eight questionnaires answered by students who are entering the Language and Litterature undergraduate course at a school in the federal education network regarding their experience with reading and producing genres applied to research, as well as the expectations of this pedagogical experience for their vocational training. The results signal a lack of didactics in order to teach academic genres and the need for investments in research from basic education to undergraduation, as a way to create a research culture.

This paper discusses the role of supervised internship in the professional training of journalists, considering the current working conditions and a scenario of precariousness, accumulation of functions and reduction of jobs. We present the results of an opinion poll conducted by the Union of Professional Journalists of the Federal District with students of Journalism in the DF regarding internship experiences, with their demands and expectations, and the relationships between universities, students and workplaces. The responses indicate an anticipation of entering the internship, replacement of activities by professional journalists and weaknesses in the supervision process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The following paper aims to display the Ponta Grossa State University Education Graduate Program (PPGE) maste's program students production analysis. Thus, it mentions the characteristics of the Teaching Work Studies and Research Group (GEPTRADO), belonging to this program and presents elements of theses defended from 1996 to 2013. This study is based on the principles of meta-analysis with the analysis of two hundred and sixty-two (262) theses. Sixty-four (64) papers were selected from the total. They were categorized and analyzed considering the following elements: object of study, objectives, methodology, teaching concepts and teacher training. The results show that the studies have had different characteristics over the years after the program was created. What is striking is the lack of research on technology and young children education.

This paper studies the communication research in Brazil and the feminist and women's approaches in this knowledge production context. For this, it considers the articles presented at major scientific events in Brazil, dissertations and theses deposited in the Banco de Teses da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES between the years 2005 and 2014. From the theoretical framework of Feminist Epistemology and Communication, the general purpose of the paper is to map the objectives concerning the research in communication when its themes are articulated with aspects of feminism and women. The methodological perspective that guides this study is cartography. The observation of 75 papers, whose abstracts were analyzed, reveals a visibility potential of women in communication. Aspects such as the subjects' experiences, politics and representations also point to the possibilities of producing knowledge for social transformation of these two areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Academic research requires a range of procedures. Each area develops its methods, which are evaluated by the quality of the research results. It is very meaningful and defining for those who are beginning this process to know these steps and procedures to form a researcher. The present text, born in the Religious Studies and Theology area, aims to present the method that was developed by the author, a visiting teacher at the Graduate Program in Religious Studies at UFJF - PPCIR-UFJF, in more than three decades of orientation, research, and learning. The paper was produced from the acquired experience of the orientations and shows the fundamental conditions for academic work, especially indicated by João Batista Libanio, but also by other researchers. The main part of the text is the systematization of the academic orientation method called "electronic method", a term created by Libanio, and assumed by the author in his over fifty orientations. Besides indicating the steps of this method, with important and practical observations, there is an example of application on how to write an article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the reality of ethical and bioethical issues in the scientific world through an integrative literature review of articles included in three databases. Seven terms from the thesaurus Health Sciences Descriptors were used, from which three combinations were elaborated and used in the three databases. After applying inclusion requirements, a total of 18 articles were selected. Certain misconducts, particularly plagiarism, falsification and data fabrication, have been showing an increasing behavior, which requires more stringent measures in order to control such phenomenon and maintain scientific credibility before society and authorities.

The objective of the paper is to analyze the extent to which the decolonial perspective is reflected in the teaching and the research in the area of International Relations (IR) in Brazil. The first part is conceptual and discusses the meanings of Decoloniality and its interfaces with the area of IR. Then, the empirical analysis is presented. Documents, data and studies were used to analyze Brazilian undergraduate and graduate courses in this area. We found some initial advances with the inclusion of debates on Ethnic-Racial Relations in undergraduate courses, the constitution of research groups and the existence of some (few) doctoral theses on the subject. However, several significant challenges were found for Decoloniality to assert itself as a relevant axis in Brazilian IR studies. Among them, the small insertion of these contents on the (undergraduate) curriculum, the centrality of the state-centered theories, racism and institutional resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Within the Brazilian Computing Society, researchers in Computing Education in Brazil have been promoting several opportunities for interaction with other areas of Computer Science. In particular, there is promising convergence in research with the area of Informatics in Education. This paper seeks to outline preliminary considerations about the convergence between Computing Education and Informatics in Education, establishing what we call Technologies in Computing Education.

This paper aims to foster discussion about the teaching of school music, conducted in mixed classes (composed of deaf and hearing students) and to present two researches that address this theme. From the bibliographic review of authors who deal with music and deafness, inclusion and educational policies (LOURENÇO, 2012; BRITO and KELMAN, 2016; SÁ, 2008; KUNTZE, 2014), the research presented seeks to achieve results that can contribute so much to initial and continuing training of music teachers, as well as favoring the implementation of a school music teaching that takes into account the diversity existing in the classroom, be it gender, race, values, religion, learning processes, family structures, among others.

The present paper aims, through a systematic literature review, at identifying and understanding the main themes in the Portuguese research in the prison context, identifying future research opportunities. The analysis of 41 papers allow the authors to identify 6 typologies of studies in this field, namely, empirical studies with adult samples, juvenile samples and prison staff, studies that work on the adaptation and validation of measures, intervention programs and theoretical papers. Thematically, the research with adult forensic populations, which represents 18 out of 41 papers, focuses on the psychopathology and personality disorders domains. The results allow the conclusion that psychological research in the prison context has focused in classic psychological themes, from the clinical domain, collecting data from inmates. The authors identify the use of multilevel approaches and research in the organizational, occupational, educational and human sexuality domains as opportunities for future research.

The following paper aims to present and analyze the perceptions of undergraduate students in Mathematics (Major and Bachelor) when it comes to research. This is a qualitative and ongoing study. The participants are students of a public university in the south of Bahia, who answered the question "What is research?" At the beginning of the Undergraduate Thesis Program (TCC), when they first had contact with scientific methodology. As a method of data analysis, the authors used the Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA). The results indicate that students already have perceptions about what research is, how to develop it, the elements that constitute a research project and the need for theoretical studies to deepen and advance in the studies. Moreover, they seem to understand that through research it is possible to have a new point of view regarding the reality studied. Finally, undergraduate and graduate students perceive research as a formative principle to help them enlarge their knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

What concept of science is based on Communication Theories? This paper delineates some aspects of this question from the analysis of the notions of "science" present in the canon of theories of Communication, as presented in the textbooks of this discipline published between 1996 and 2015. The argument is divided into three parts:) institutionally, there are procedures that refer communication studies to the classic concept of "science"; however (2) the epistemological problems of the area defy this orientation, especially in the definition of "theory", indicating (3) a need to think a "science" beyond the classical definition, close to the original meaning of the word - to know.

This paper problematizes the institutional evaluation in children's education in the face of the challenges and possibilities that compose it and seeks to analyze this evaluation from different perspectives, articulating it to the right of the children to a good quality education. With Bakhtinian theoretical and methodological principles that conceive the human formation constituted in the social context of interaction between the subjects and their utterances, the study proposes to dialogue with ideas that circulate in Brazilian academic productions. It is characterized by a qualitative and exploratory approach to data production resulting from a bibliographical survey of theses and dissertations defended in the period from 2014 to 2017 and available on the Capes website. The analysis indicates the need to understand the institutional evaluation as a complex event, emphasizing its collective character, its political dimension and its interlocution with initial and continuing training processes and its impacts and repercussions on the pedagogical work in early childhood education.

In this paper, placing myself in the position of an essay producer, I aim to analyze a group of questions and answers from a research on "family and marriage, and domestic, psychological, patrimonial and sexual violence" (especially those related to domestic violence), carried out by IPEA (Institute for Applied Economic Research), published on March 28, 2014. Through the analysis of a portion of the questionnaire, I intend to consider a principle of discursive functioning that I call "the Pontius Pilate syndrome". With this, I mean that, in the face of problems about which we are aware, we choose to "wash our hands" by assuming that we cannot get involved and by finding someone on whom we can put the blame and responsibility on, which implies our omission to intervene in what we might, perhaps, help to equate.

This paper aims to reflect on the role of research practices in social communication for the development of a qualified teaching in this area. From a brief history of LabCom Univap (about to complete three years of activities), we point out the main difficulties of forming and maintaining a research group in an area with little scientific tradition. We pointed to the importance of creating a culture of research in the field of communication research, so relevant in this social moment in which information is very valuable. In this sense, the research group's strategy must be to reframe for the students the idea of knowing who (in the research) must be systematized beyond common sense. We conclude that the strengths of the group are to evidence, for students and teachers, the responsibility for conducting research and critical analysis as essential resources for building knowledge.

The objective of this paper is to discuss and argue about the relevance of conducting bioethical research in loco, in the territory or, more precisely, in the daily life. This practice, common in the social sciences, implies the need to insert the researcher in the context of people's lives, sharing norms and expectations in the flow of daily events. It is a practice that is ethically and politically committed to the context with which it is intended to deal with and, consequently, that it becomes a benefit for the people participating in the study.

This paper aims to discuss photography in qualitative research on literature review. Photograph is located in the context of technological developments in the nineteenth century, with its attributes as object and technical research, the advantages and limitations of its use and critical interpretation guidelines. In conclusion, we present the analysis of two scientific papers that make exemplary use of photography in qualitative research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses how oral history has been mobilized in research in mathematics education, particularly in the works of the research group Oral History and Mathematics Education (GHOEM). Starting from a brief characterization of mathematics education, this paper discusses the theoretical framework that founds the ways through which oral history has been conceived and practiced in this area. Finally, it presents the research themes that have been developed by the GHOEM, in which oral history has a central role. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examined the scientific literature in operations management in Brazil, seeking to identify the themes of greatest interest of researchers and the most active research groups from a sample of 3,224 articles published in 13 national scientific journals the period from 2001 to 2010. In addition to the classification of articles according to their thematic categories also identified the origin of the authors, who were separated according to the area of expertise (management or production engineering) and the institution of affiliation. In general, 18.4% of all articles published in the magazines 3,224 analyzed fall as relevant to the area of operations. The results show sensitive difference between the percentages relating to magazines with origin in administration area, which ranged from 1.7% to 10.9%, and those related to magazines with origin in the field of production engineering, whose percentages ranged from 57.8% to 62.4%. The theme addressed was Logistics Operations management and supply chain, with approximately 20% of the published works. This theme has deserved more prominence in the magazines of administration, with 35% of the total number of papers published, than in production engineering magazines in which totals 14% of published works. The themes service operations and project management/ product development occupy virtually together, the same position, and secondly between the themes of greatest interest, both in magazines and on the administration of production engineering. Notice also that the issues related to the topic and work organization, Ergonomics are barely covered by the magazines, with an average of 2% of the works published. On the other hand, represents 8% of the papers published in the magazines of production engineering. It is believed that the research has been useful so that the researchers can better understand the editorial space that is available for the publication of their research findings, regardless of whether they have their origin in Administration or in production engineering.

This paper aims to analyze research texts from the methodological trajectory in the field of Mathematical Education which has been developed through the description language of Basil Bernstein in Bahia. The methodological design adopted has involved a qualitative approach, through documentary analysis. As for the results, the analyzed texts suggest that the research using the methodological model of the description language allows a cyclical movement: starting from the theory to shed light on the empiria, thus, it is able to produce the categories previously; legitimizing that the empirical data can broaden the theoretical field, favoring the production of analytical categories raised by the theory and theoretical feedback and empirical field, empiricism and theory dialogue in such a way that one field supports the other, although there may be dialogue with themselves, subsidized by theory.

In this paper we intend to reflect on the Brazilian graduate regarding to two major challenges: the integration of teaching, research and extension and the need for other forms of knowledge production. Initially, we point out that the hegemony of the settler in a given conception of science and knowledge production is a problem limiting and often invalidate the relations or articulations of graduate with teaching and extension. From this, we argue about the need to think of the knowledge produced in the graduate program in addition to the reduced sphere of cognitive-instrumental rationality of modern science seeking other forms of knowledge production that communicate or establish exchanges with the scientific.

This paper discusses the use of the essay by High School and undergraduate students of Portuguese language. This textual genre, besides demanding a clear authorship, also requires cultural knowledge, obtained through reading and research. In HS, the texts dealt with topics of interest to teenagers (Internet language and cultural issues in the state where they live). At university, the themes were pertinent to the qualification of teachers of Portuguese language. We tried to use strategies that avoid the grammaticalization of the textual genre, as we are going to show in the report of the experiences with 2nd and 3rd grade students of HS and with third and fifth semester undergraduate students, identified here respectively as DI and DII. This article is organized in two sections. In the first one, we are going to briefly discuss the theoretical contributions to the concept of the essay as a textual genre, since we are concerned here about reflecting on the writing practices motivated by the need for a clear point of view on the matter. In the second part, we present the report of experiences at two different levels of teaching - HS and university - which had a common general objective, but different specific objectives. In the final considerations, we will try to analyze the results obtained with such experiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main goal of this paper is to present the research conducted by the Graduate Program in Education of the State University of Para (UEPA), focusing on the productions of the professors and of the master degree candidates. For this study we analyzed abstracts from master theses. For the professors' productions, research studies developed in collective form were considered as well those linked to academic exchange programs, such as PROCAD and National Networks. The paper also presents the state of art, as it maps and discusses academic output in different thematic fields of education. We also conducted bibliographic research about the state of the art and the theoretical debate of the themes pertaining to the production of professors and students. To analyze the research productions, thematic categories were constructed and Excel tables, charts and graphs and were utilized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this paper is to discuss the absence of the work of Nise da Silveira from the academic literature. As an introduction, we will describe two paradigmatic acts of hers. First, upon returning to the hospice in 1946 she refused to apply electroconvulsive therapy, had some of the infirmary beds taken out and created space for developing creative and expressive activities. Second, she designed and implemented an outdoor space called Casa das Palmeiras for treating severe cases of psychosis. Both these acts contradicted the clinicism and segregation practiced in asylums. In Silveira 's professional practice, clinical and research were inseparable and she introduced the importance of aesthetic factors. This brought about mutations in Brazilian psychiatry and went far beyond the simple idea of reform. Studying her work is a way to counteract the mystification of her name. We are aware that a paper on such an important legacy is very limited, but we hope it will call attention to Nise da Silveira's work and generate interest in it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a discussion centered on the theme of Vygotsky's language and thought in order to show that the author's views on the matter are that underlie the arguments that support the framework of multimode and multiple representations. Just over a decade in development, the research program of multimode and multiple representations hás been showing progressive, guaranteed completion by both the international scope of their research and the breadth of issues involved in dealing with Science and Math education. As the Semiotics Theory that supports this research program and Psychology that supports the Vygotskian studies, this makes the latter almost always absent in reference to the first. However, multimode and multiple representations framework make assertions that prove compatible with Vygotsky's position regarding the inseparable interdependence between language and thought. Thus, based on this interdependence, the paper discusses and points out that the use of many languages, in its various representations, defended by multimodal and multiple representations reference, is consistent and convergent with the Vygotskian reading on the subject [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is the result of two ongoing research investigations: my postdoctoral research study and a research study on the development of student and teacher of English. The aim of the paper is to present illustrative moments from the perspective of a broader concept of dialogue, as ethics, among the researcher, students, teachers and teaching assistants. The research methodology adopted is of qualitative, interpretive and exploratory nature. Emphasis is given to understanding the concept of "Otherness" by means of listening, silencing and making choices according to emergent concepts in research studies of this nature [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper stems from a round table entitled "May research function as a foundation for language teaching?" in which the author took part during VI SENALE (2010) as well as from discussions in doctorate symposia with students from UCPEL and my colleagues Hilário Bohn and Vilson Leffa. It aims at discussing the possible relationships between research and language teaching, having the founding question of that round table as a guide. The paper discusses the link between research and language teaching considering "pure" and "applied" research and claim for a teaching attitude that can go beyond "pragmatism" and be scientifically sensible and, beyond "pure" or "applied" research, be scientifically rigorous but socially sensible, emphasizing the social responsibility of both researchers and language teachers.

With the popularization of smartphones, location-based services are increasingly part of everyday live. People use their cell phones to find nearby restaurants, friends in the vicinity, and track their children. Although location-based services have received sparse attention from mobile communication scholars to date, the ability of locating people and things with one's cell phone is not new. Since the removal of GPS signal degradation in 2000, artists and researchers have been exploring how location-awareness influences mobility, spatiality and sociability. Besides exploring the historical antecedents of today's location-based services, this paper focuses on the main social issues that emerge when location-aware technologies leave the strict domain of art and research and become part of everyday life: locational privacy, sociability, and spatiality. Finally, this paper addresses two main topics that future mobile communication research that focus on location-awareness should take into consideration: a shift in the meaning of location, and the adoption and appropriation of location-aware technologies in the global south.

The paper presents results of research and teaching project focused on the production of digital didactic materials, developed with high school students of a Brazilian public school. The project included investigative activities carried out by the students themselves, guided by teachers from two diferent school disciplines, in order to solve real problems. The motivation was the organization of a collection of documents linked to an industry for the processing of the erva mate, as a didactic material to be used in school by other people to study the industrialization processes in the state of Paraná, at the beginning of the 20th century. The article addresses issues on information and communication technologies and their use in school; problematizes their insertion into school practices only to support traditional ways to teaching and learning based on teachers oral presentation; and proposes the organization of didactic activities with an emphasis on research and with an interdisciplinary character. In this proposition, students not only use digital didactic materials prepared by teachers or other agents, but contribute to produce didactic materials that will be used by other subjects. The analysis of the results was organized into three categories: 1. New forms of relationship with knowledge based on research; 2. technologies and diferentiated modes of learning; 3. Training for professional world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Interdisciplinarity in Communication Studies has drawn the attention of many researchers in the last decades. This paper outlines some epistemological and institutional possibilities of interdisciplinarity in Communication. Grounded on literature review, it suggests that Communication is often "multidisciplinary", but rarely "interdisciplinary", as disciplinary boundaries are seldom crossed. The argument goes threefold: (1) as a field of enquiry, disciplinary juxtaposition is not enough to characterize interdisciplinarity in Communication; (2) the area has been institutionally created by an agglutination of disciplines, not an intersection of them; (3) as an academic discipline, Communication Theory, which should provide the repertoire for the area, reflects these ambiguities of the field.

This essay tries to rethink the work of those who research and educate in the university in a moment of great importance of this topic, which connects disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. Before hasty and negative decisions are made in the development of research and didactic-pedagogical actions, this paper addresses the core of the debate, which is language, to seek some clarity of meaning and to show those attitudes that favor the best relation between the values that discipline and interdiscipline in the formulation of scientific work. The historical and linguistic reflection elucidates the existing interrelationships and seeks to demystify hypotheses, which are nonetheless intelligent. It leads to the overcoming of the proposal of paradigm replacement, a vicious circle that is not probable within the theme, and seeks to guarantee the frank cooperation between the scientific networks in the different areas or, at least, the coopetition between those who educate and research.

The paper deals with the relationship between research and teaching through the subject Supervised Internship Course of the Degree in Social Sciences of the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT). Searched to analyze the extent to which the use of the ethnographic method contributes to the trainee students to develop reflections on the school, the student, the teacher and the other actors that are part of the daily school dynamics. It is a qualitative research that has used techniques such as bibliographic review and interviews. We conclude that the supervised internship reflected from the research activity contributes to the undergraduate student motivate himself to the academic life, constructing arguments from the graduation that the degree is a formation that must be linked to the research, as well as the ethnography during the internship Contributes to strengthen the relationship between research and teaching, thus ensuring the trainee reflects on the main challenges present in everyday school reality.

Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has been considered a potential theory for the unveiling of power relations and ideologies commonly found in discourse. Many theoreticians agree on the fact that CDA has contributed to the understanding of several linguistic phenomena that usually portray obfuscated hegemonies, since language is a powerful tool for disseminating biased assumptions as well as ideologies. Nonetheless, why did CDA attract severe criticisms from a wide range of scholars in the 1990s? These critics presented a full list of problems concerning the methods and approaches often utilized by critical discourse analysts. Among the criticisms, problems of reception and representativeness are claimed to pervade most of the treatment given by CDA researchers to their data. Despite all this, the keenness of critical discourse analysts to display a methodological ground to the discipline has had its positive results - CDA is now a recognized and well-established branch of Applied Linguistics in the international context, within the interface between the Social Sciences and the Humanities. Recent publication, principally from Fairclough and his colleagues, has taken into considerable account some of the criticisms, by responding to these critics accordingly. In Brazil, however, there has been a "deafening silence" about this issue, especially because researchers seem to disregard these criticisms. In this paper, I intend to "break this silence" and bring into discussion some of these criticisms and their impact on CDA and the application of its theory in Brazilian research. The main aim of the paper is to see whether some research on CDA in Brazil has presented the same problems posed by these critics, by analyzing four articles that use CDA as an orienting theory, published in a special issue on CDA from a well-known Brazilian journal entitled D.E.L.T.A. The results have indicated that some of the problems outlined by these critics also appear on the articles analyzed, which shows that critical discourse analysts in Brazil should pay special attention to the way they approach and treat their data.

Doctoral students and researchers worldwide face the publish or perish challenge. Given that the researchers are evaluated by their productivity, publishing in indexed and reputed journals is essential. However, this is not an easy task, as the rejection rates are increasing, as are the lead time between submission and acceptance for publication. In this paper we seek to identify the main motives for rejection of Brazilian articles in the business administration discipline by inter national academic journals. We also advance some clues on how the authors may improve their work towards future publication. This paper is descriptive and exploratory, and takes on a qualitative, reflexive and critical lens. We present some recommendations of both international referees and editors of well known academic journals, geared to the writing of higher quality papers and the creation of a research pipeline. We aim at contributing to understand how researchers may develop more relevant scientific research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to identify the trajectory of English teacher education in the Arts and Letters courses, and provide an overview of the knowledge produced and put in circulation by teacher educators in Brazil. Based on research paper abstracts submitted to a pioneering event on language teacher education in Latin America, this review analyzes the advances and gaps in this area of research. It firstly summarizes the themes of the studies, from the most to the least recurrent ones. Secondly, it looks at gaps in issues concerning activity and research in teacher education. Thirdly, the paper provides insights into how the members of this community of practice can strengthen their identities as teacher educators and establish a more dialogical and empowering relationship.

Accounting researches have been marked by new approaches in order to manage costs in organizations and by multidisciplinary studies about certain phenomena from different perspectives. This article aims to draw up a profile of cost research in the framework of the accounting and management control theme area during the meetings of the Brazilian National Association of Graduate Programs in Business Administration (ENANPAD) since its inauguration as an autonomous area in 1998 until 2003. Initially, our analysis involved the review of 170 articles accepted in this theme area. Afterwards, we selected 32 specific articles on cost accounting. We examined the analyzed themes, the adopted research methods, which economic segments were investigated, the authors' academic affiliation and the kind of bibliography they had consulted. The results evidenced two main factors: (i) a strong quantitative growth in the accounting theme, increasing from 40 submitted papers in 1998 to 191 in 2003, with considerable quantitative influence in the cost area; and (ii) this quantitative growth was not accompanied, to the same extent, by the qualitative progress of papers in the cost area. This article presents the state-of-the-art of cost accounting research at a Brazilian high-quality scientific event. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a brief reflection on the slopes of cartography, perceived as posture possible for communication research in the Amazon. Front to the particularities of the region from its natural geographical aspects to the historical and social nuances, the mapping is presented as a creative proposition that recognizes the complexity involved in the multiple communication realities found in the region. From a cartographic conduct essentially procedural and wandering, you can mark the place from where you think and establish appropriations conscious and inventive theoretical and methodological perspectives in accordance with the requirements of the study object in thought and for the region.

In this paper we intend to discuss the experience of researching as a handcraft practice referenced in the Actor-Network Theory (ANT), which gives us the understanding that a research may have deviations and recalcitrancy. Researching is an unique process, in which each field implies peculiarities and differentiated actions. We linked this practice to a handcraft doing in which procedure we don't have a linear path. We chose the 'crochet' - art of weaving with threads - as a feminine heritage that involves ourselves. As we understand that the modes of doing can only be followed in their own practice, we intend to discuss the process of researching in articulation with life, as an ontological politics.

Psychoanalysis has imposed a fundamental break with the notion of science, demanding an expansion of the conception of method. The practice of psychoanalytical research has a favorable setting in academic context regarding the possibility of a rigorous and creative practice of the psychoanalyst. Recognizing the controversies in psychoanalytical research regarding the possibilities of investigation beyond the psychoanalytical clinic, this paper presents a research strategy based on the psychoanalytic method. This is the clinical-interpretative strategy, sustained on the specificities and rigor of psychoanalysis, which establishes listening, abstinence, transference and interpretation as the building blocks of research and production of knowledge in psychoanalysis. This strategy is composed by three steps, which aim the interpretation and the expansion of the meaning of a phenomenon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
