Holding a theory means to know its core concepts, the questions it seeks (allows) to answer, and its paradigms. However, developing research in a particular theoretical perspective means more than that. Consistency is required between what is said and what is practiced. This paper addresses it. Appropriation of the theory of didactical situations by two researchers in mathematics education that are experiencing different moments of academic career is discussed. One of the researchers reports the stumbles and enthusiasm in a new theoretical trajectory, the other one discusses how she deals with the theoretical issues she proposes to study and practice. In this text, we provide considerations of both the young researcher about her process of paradigm transformation and the researcher responsible for assisting her in this trajectory.

This paper discusses the research in education. It aims to show Ethnomethodology and critical Etnopesquisa as research possibilities of phenomenological inspiration for research in education. It is a literature research. It presents ethnomethodology as criticism of Comtean, Durkheim and Weber positivism showing that the etnomethods are activities and possibilities of individuals in society to make sense of their world. The etnopesquisa criticism follows the same path and says that the practice of making / building knowledge and learning is not separate from its expression of context. Both can assist in the process of building and the emancipation of knowledge and the people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Management is a practice that encompasses planning, organization, guidance, control and monitoring of activities in terms of means and ends. This paper presents a management system modelling for Distance Education in programs offered in Brazilian public institutions, using colored Petri nets. Moreover, it is important to mention that management acquires a high degree of complexity due to the fact that in order to deploy and maintain the distance learning courses, a set of processes that integrate and influence each other, aiming to reach pre-defined goals is required. Therefore, in order to achieve this level of complexity, this job involves tasks such as work division, responsibility assignments, setting levels of authority and to establish communication mechanisms. Accordingly, the systemic management system, currently applied to distance learning courses offered by IFCE (Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Ceará), comprises five major pillars which are: institutional, educational, technological, administrative, financial and human resources. Hence, the scope of this work deals with the modelling of the administrative and financial management process in coloured Petri nets. The model analysis has helped to identify and improve actions and activities developed in the process. It also allowed the group to have a graphical and an administrative view, which helped them to plan and execute all the funds received to run the Distance Education courses. In addition, another important aspect to mention concerns the transformation of tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge, such that the execution of administrative and financial processes becomes less dependent on the people who devised it.

This work aimed to describe the difficulties faced by the faculty and students of nursing of the Federal University of Piauí in the implementation of the SAE in a maternity. The difficulties in this regard were: non-filling of the papers, discontinuance of the care service, lack of communication between the team and university students, deficiency in the permanent education, lack of preparation of the professionals and insufficient number of personnel. There is a need for higher cohesion between the nursing team, towards benefits for the profession, client, and institution. This study is expected to bring some inputs for the nursing professionals in order to promote a worthy, humanized, and systematized care service. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
