Knowing the perceptions of students and teachers on different themes is a fundamental task to provide different interactions in the contemporary education scenario. In Brazil, the theme of racism is a harsh and sad social reality, whose actions have stained the country's history for many years. The main objective of the investigation was to analyze the perceptions of seventh-year students and teachers, from a public school, in Porto Alegre (RS), in 2019, about racism. For this, a questionnaire divided into two parts was applied: the characterization of the research sample and the presentation of six statements, by which, based on the Likert scale, the subjects should affirm their degree of agreement, indifference or disagreement. In the teachers' questionnaire, there was still an open question, in which they should answer about the actions they take in the search for an anti-racist education. It was possible to perceive that the proximity in the perceptions about racism between students and teachers are greater than the distances. Of the six sentences presented, in half of them there were positions of proximity in relation to the assigned meanings, and in the other half, it was possible to perceive distances. However, in a more detailed analysis, it was possible to notice that the proximity exceeds the distance. Several actions to promote anti-racist education were mentioned by teachers, with emphasis on debates, literary projects and the inclusion of black personalities. Thus, it is possible to consider that, even in the case of groups with age and social distances, the perceptions about racism are diverse, but close. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses how assumptions about the nature of childhood have been triggered in the confrontations about the legitimacy of gender and sexuality themes in education in contemporary Brazil. We analyse two practical-discursive pitfalls that have been consolidated in these confrontations. The first, forged by anti-gender discussion and education activists, consists in the narrative construction of vulnerable childhood to be protected, and triggers moral panic at the prospect of discussions about gender and sexuality in schools. The second, more subtle trap, concerns the situation of passivity attributed to students in the school context, who are considered to be the subjects of instruction by teachers, including those moments when gender and sexuality issues are addressed in the classroom. The image of a child-prisoner, passive and in danger made-up by the "gender ideologues," populates the narratives analysed in the first part of the paper. It allows us to discuss the political uses of the hyperinflation of this idea of child vulnerability. However, even in educational practices that invest in working gender and sexuality matters in school setting, we observe that children can be conceived as lacking agency, such as discussed in the paper's second part. In order to challenge these logics, we highlight the ludic dimension and playing with conceptual and methodological tools that can contribute to a non-pedagogizing approach to gender and sexuality in education.

El presente ensayo busca realizar una reflexióncrítica sobre la actualidad de los conflictos que inciden en la educación nacional. Parte considerable de esos conflictos está relacionada al hecho de que ciertas ideologías conservadoras avanzan de forma sistemática sobre las políticas educativas desarrolladas en Brasil. Consideradas en conjunto, esas ideologías conservadoras se caracterizan por defender una oposición a los cambios que se derivan tanto del desarrollo de teorías y prácticas derivadas del campo académico y de las luchas sociales incorporadas a la realidad de la enseñanza básica y superior, haciendo de la escuela y de la educación un importante el locus del embate de clases estructurante de nuestra sociedad.

Objective: To evaluate the performance of health care teachers who participated in a Training Program in Nonverbal Communication. Method: Descriptive, cross-sectional survey with a quantitative approach, carried out on the premises of a higher education institution located in Guaruja, Brazil. The course was taught for two classes (A and B), with 8-hour in both groups, and in a single day for the class A and 2 in days (4 hours each day) to the class B. The course content covered the functions and dimensions of nonverbal communication, the importance of feedback and principles of andragogy. For realization of the course active learning methodologies were used. To evaluate the performance of teachers were made pre- and post-course, composed of two instruments, a form with 14 aspects of nonverbal communication related to 2 designed movie scenes (with situations of teaching and learning between teachers and students) and a questionnaire with four questions about dimensions and functions of nonverbal communication. Results: In the sample of 13 teachers, for the analysis of scenes from the film, there was an increase of teacher perception 69.24% to 82.61%, compared to the perception of the researcher. In evaluative questions of the functions of non-verbal, there was also a quantitative increase in the responses of teachers. Conclusion: The program was adequate to increase the perception of teachers as to non-verbal cues and adequacy of communication strategies for the classroom in immediate evaluation after application.

Education and the work context in educational institutions are recurring themes in the analysis of experts and theorists, in view of new social configurations and subjective processes that are included in them. In almost all discourses, questions on new pedagogic methods and interven-tions, as well as on the challenges to face contemporary problems are raised. Education is em-bedded in the social net and it is trespassed, all the time, by forces, power and knowledge rela-tions that define modes of being and acting. Teachers suffer the effects of these new social for-mations, both in relation to the different social bonds and relationships that are daily established at school, and in relation to their own working mode. This article's aim is to discuss how the edu-cator's subjectivity is being configured, considering him from a worker position. We examined the different social configurations that were produced during the Brazilian educational historical de-velopment in order to understand the transformations that take place and the work processes that are produced, constituting different modes of being and working in the Porto Alegre Municipal Education Net (RME). We delineated a discourse analysis, inspired by a dialogue between the studies of Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze, considering teachers and principals' discourses found in fles of counseling, meetings and training with teachers of RME, taken as analyzers of the historical construction of discoursivities. We emphasized the complaint as an expression of teacher's suffering and illness at work, produced by the hegemonic discourses and practices that put the teacher-worker in a place of weakness and impotence, effects of a neoliberal rationality, a logic that operates on the behavior regulation and today's subjectivity processes.

Burnout Syndrome is a reaction to chronic emotional tension which happens especially to healthcare and educational professionals, including teachers and nurses. This qualitative study aimed at: a) investigating signs suggestive of Burnout Syndrome among teachers working in elementary public schools in a town in southern Brazil; b) based on the results, to reflect on nursing work. The empirical data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 teachers. The results were grouped into three categories representing Burnout Syndrome dimensions referred to in the literature: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low professional satisfaction. The study draws attention to the link between the education and nursing fields with regard to the characteristics of the contexts where the work of these professionals is carried out. We highlight the contribution of qualitative methodology in facilitating the observation of each of the categories, and the need for effective actions to deal with the conditions which lead to the development of Burnout Syndrome.
