This study aims to understand and deepen the reflection on the ethical dimension in teacher education and performance, emphasizing its importance for the development of a pedagogical praxis in favor of dialogical relationships. Faced with a pedagogical context marked by the conceptions present in contemporaneity that are guided by the condition that students are not seen as subjects of their own history and by the scientific development that privileges doing over thinking, we listed as main questions: what are the actions Could they help teachers to rethink their pedagogical practice, working so that human education becomes the essential aspect? Through a qualitative bibliographic research, based on authors such as Severino, A. J. (2011, 2010), Saviani (2015, 2016), Goergen (2011), Carvalho (2013, 2015, 2016), among others, we will seek to affirm the importance of alterity and presence in the relationship between teachers and students for a humanizing and emancipating education. We consider that every pedagogical action, from its origin and purposes, objectives and goals, has a close relationship with the Ethical Dimension and, therefore, they are ethical processes that, when carried out in the school institution, are committed to elevating the student from his condition as an individual in search of its humanization and emancipation.

The Training and the Praxis of the teacher from the Materialist Dialectic, the Cultural Historical Theory and the Critical Historical Pedagogy is the title of this dossier, which proposes to analyze contemporary themes that deal with a critical look at society, education and human training, in order to resume the contributions about dialectical thinking. It intends to discuss the formative processes that involve the school as a social institution responsible for socializing the knowledge produced by humanity, aiming at a quality education that can reverberate in the development of critical thinking of the subjects involved in the process about the objective reality. The texts are based on the Critical-Historical Pedagogy and the Cultural-Historical Theory, and mark their position by pointing out that the enrichment of human existence in its omnilateralism is a process of active and conscious appropriation, by the individual, of the cultural resources present in the environment and the value of interaction between student and student, student and teacher.

This article aims to present the epistemological contributions of Theodor Adorno's thought to the reflection of emancipatory teacher education, based on two concepts, enlightenment and self-reflection. Taking the dialectical perspective as a reference to think about society and its contradictions, as well as teacher education, it is intended to show that, despite the development of capitalism, a system capable of preventing attempts at equitable transformations, there is the possibility of developing an attitude of self-criticism and resistance, which can be put into action by individuals through enlightenment and selfreflection. Training the teacher in an emancipatory proposal requires the adoption of a consistent project that leads to overcome adaptation, unveil social contradictions so that the individual can consciously transit in the world, with the world and for its transformation.

This article seeks to make a brief contribution to the COVID-19 pandemic issue, regarding the students’ awareness of the disease and its forms of transmission. The main objective, through the comic book La Dansarina, is to promote a better understanding of the pandemic, by means of the comparison with the Spanish Flu. Thus, it is expected to make students accept the decisions of the health agencies and carry out such teachings. The methodology used in the study was bibliographic. As a main result, it was verified that a comparison between the two pandemics — through an artistic work — can motivate and arouse students’ due to their ludic bias. As conclusions, we can highlight that information can be the greatest weapon in the fight against a disease that spreads through social life and a well-told story can be more useful than news’ numbers.

This article is a synthesis a final paper, linked to the scientific initiation, carried out in the pedagogy course. The intention of this article is to demonstrate the students' approach with the Sequential Art / Comics, in the sense to produce a significant learning of the Portuguese language content. The experience aimed to analyze the language of Sequential Art / Comics in Portuguese classes, providing the training of teachers to use this teaching tool in the school environment. Methodologically, we made use of a qualitative research, using the case study and participant observation. Thus, it was possible to infer about the language aspects of Sequential Art / Comics used in elementary school by teachers, in order to promote its use in the classroom. We proposed strategies for using the multiple languages found in Sequential Art. As a result, we could observe that there are flaws in the design and use of different resources in the classroom that arouse the interest of students; we observed, as well, that they can be stimulated through materials that do not require high investments, since they are available to everyone. We conclude that the encouragement to learn the language and its different functions — such as interpretation, reading habits and textual understanding —, are factors that need to be addressed more by teachers, from their professional training to their teaching practice.

This article is an instrument through which we problematize the discussion about the possibilities of developing emancipatory educational activities in teacher training courses based on Tonet's reflections (2013) and from de critical-historic pedagogy. We list four possible activities of this nature, taking into account the specificity of the educational dimension, the contradictions that permeate education in capitalism, the distinction between the immediate interests of the empirical students and the essential interests of the concrete students and, still, the dialectical reciprocity of the contents and forms of teaching, with the ontological priority of content over forms. Thus, such activities are proposed with the greatest concern for a teaching practice that values the critical promotion of the intellectual, scientific, artistic and philosophical level of teachers and students. It is a humanist stance, which defends the elaboration of criticism and human integrity against all the misrepresentations that this form of sociability imposes on us [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article we present and discuss the value of the ethical dimension present as articulator in the organization of pedagogical work. Whereas Ethics is disfigured by the events and understandings of today's society, in which teachers hide behind masks as proletarians of unnecessary knowledge and useless to capital, analyze the ethical dimension and its importance for the process and educational practice presents itself as an appreciation of the human being and all its manifestations. Understanding the School as a space for interactions, the curriculum becomes a cultural artifact for the teacher to achieve his goal with a humanizing education that aims at the emancipation of the human being.

In recent years, the penetrating social influence of digital media popularizes teaching methodologies, proposals and recipes, which, in many cases, lack academic credentials to justify its validity, or even, have already been refuted by the scientific community, becoming in mere educational hoaxes. Given this current reality, this research article reviews and reflects on the training of teachers (general and of science) proposing that it should be based on accredited research results, to achieve high educational standards. The proposal is articulated around several educational elements: some, contributed by the didactics of science, such as scientific and technological literacy, education in context and training model of science teachers, and others, contributed by general educational research, such as professional teaching knowledge, test-based research, cognitions, educational neuroscience and critical thinking. The reflection emphasizes the themes and needs shared between these elements, proposing the concept of critical literacy, which is developed in a taxonomy of critical thinking skills, considered essential for teacher training in the digital information space, common to all current education. Finally, an empirical model and some general features are suggested, such as the integration of knowledge and the development of critical thinking skills during teacher training, to meet current teaching and learning requirements in relation to critical literacy in science and technology.

This article brings a study related to Teacher Training. It brings reflections resulting from a technical visit by Unesp professors, Campi de Assis and Marília, Cergy-Pontoise University and École Superieure du Professorat et de l'Éducation (ÉSPÉ), France, with financial support from PROGRAD and PROPG / Unesp. It was possible to know the formative process of teachers of France in order to think about the formation of our teachers, with main focus at the moment in which they carry out their internships. The major challenge lies in the articulation of theory and practice, which commonly causes astonishment to the trainees when they arrive at the school environment and need to create a reflection for the performance, that is, to look at the terrain of the school based on the knowledge accumulated in the formation. With a comparative study, it is possible to think about Teacher Training in Brazil and the possibilities of involvement with the school space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study is a systematic review on the impact of training actions on the use of technologies in teaching practices, its main effects, and challenges. The sample is the result of the survey of complete scientific articles indexed in the Scientific Electronic Library Online - (SciELO), published between 2003 and 2016. Seeking to understand communication and its meanings critically, we held a thematic content analysis, according to Bardin (2002). The review pointed to the lack of sufficient results regarding the desired impacts about the use of technologies in teaching practices with pedagogical focus and authorship by teachers and students. Thus, more studies that can meet the needs still in force are necessary, focusing on methods of utilization of technological resources in the network that enhance students' learning and development.
