Esta pesquisa parte de inquietações referentes ao papel da Geografia Física no currículo de Geografia na educação básica e da abordagem dos conteúdos relacionados à temática. Portanto, a pesquisa teve como objetivo propor a criação e utilização de recursos didático-pedagógicos para o ensino de Geografia Física. (GF) Para tal, analisou-se o livro didático (LD) “Expedições Geográficas” do 6° ano do Ensino Fundamental visando identificar lacunas na abordagem de conteúdos. Optou-se pela análise do livro do 6° ano, pois, apresenta, de acordo com a BNCC e o Currículo Carioca, mais conteúdos voltados para a temática de GF. Os materiais e atividades lúdico-pedagógicas elaborados foram baseados nas lacunas encontradas no LD com relação à GF. Com a análise do LD, observou-se que há ausência de temáticas específicas relacionadas à sustentabilidade, riscos e solos. A elaboração de materiais para o ensino desses temas é uma ferramenta que pode contribuir para a aprendizagem significativa e despertar o interesse dos estudantes. Conclui-se que há necessidade da produção de materiais para abordar temas ausentes no LD. Além disso, verificou-se que atividades lúdicas são importantes para o ensino de Geografia Física, pois permitem maior envolvimento dos alunos com os conteúdos.

Therefore, these research aimed to propose the creation and use of didactic-pedagogical resources for teaching Physical Geography.For this, the textbook “Geographical Expeditions” of the 6th year of middle school was analyzed in order to identify gaps in the content. We opted for the analysis of the 6th grade book, because it has, according to the BNCC and the Carioca Curriculum, more content focused on the subject of Physical Geography. According to the Brazilian Common Core Curriculum and the Carioca Curriculum, the 6th grade has more content about physical geography. The pedagogical materials and activities developed were based on the gaps found in the textbook. It was also observed that such content has gaps, such as the lack of integration between themes related to sustainability, socio-environmental risks and soils. It is concluded that the development of playful materials for teaching Physical Geography is a tool that can contribute to meaningful learning. In addition, it was found that recreational activities are important for Physical Geography learning. Keywords Pedagogical resources, Playful materials, Geographic Education, Carioca Curriculum.

Descriptive Method

This research describes a development process of an educommunicational project and its presentation by 7th year’s students of Middle School. Student’s part of this research was from a private school in a city part of Sao Paulo’s State. In fact, it aimed to verify possible contributions obtained by using a specific didactic sequence linked with Geography teaching. Thereunto, virtual games and educommunication tools were used to promote literacy and scientific dissemination through Digital Information Technologies and Communication. In terms of method utilized, a qualitative-descriptive method was used since it applied observation, analysis, and data comparison to obtain results. In addition, the methodology helped to solve problems throughout the project phase until it reached its final presentation. As a final result of this project, it was observed that students could develop not only active learning but also creative learning throughout the process. As assistance, students had teacher acting as a mediator in order to constantly guide and manage them in their activities. To sum up, documentary videos presented by students, combined with games and digital educational technologies are considered relevant forms of communication as well as effective learning resources because they favor a development of critical-scientific thinking. As a matter of fact, it is applicable when carrying out researches, experiencing challenges also building knowledge throughout student’s own experience processes.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the ways in which adolescent students who stutter perceive their school experiences. Method This study used a qualitative, phenomenological research design. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 7 adolescent students who stutter (3 in middle school and 4 in high school). Participants were interviewed about their school experiences, including the effects of stuttering on academics, learning, teacher relationships, peer relationships, speech therapy experiences, and self-image. Data analysis consisted of transcribing interviews and analyzing them for emerging themes. Results Findings revealed that participants described a variety of experiences around the school setting. Participants reported less favorable middle school experiences. Middle school participants reflected more on teasing, bullying, and feelings of embarrassment, whereas high school participants revealed that teachers, staff, and peers were receptive and accepting of them and their stuttering. All participants reported that their speech therapy helped with classroom participation. Conclusions As a result of the participants' varied experiences, it is important to listen to and incorporate the voices of students who stutter into school, classroom, and therapy decision-making practices.

The Difference

Purpose Vocabulary intervention can improve comprehension of texts containing taught words, but it is unclear if all middle school readers get this benefit. This study tests 2 hypotheses about variables that predict response to vocabulary treatment on text comprehension: gains in vocabulary knowledge due to treatment and pretreatment reading comprehension scores. Method Students in Grade 6 ( N = 23) completed a 5-session intervention based on robust vocabulary instruction (RVI). Knowledge of the semantics of taught words was measured pre- and posttreatment. Participants then read 2 matched texts, 1 containing taught words (treated) and 1 not (untreated). Treated texts and taught word lists were counterbalanced across participants. The difference between text comprehension scores in treated and untreated conditions was taken as a measure of the effect of RVI on text comprehension. Results RVI resulted in significant gains in knowledge of taught words ( d RM = 2.26) and text comprehension ( d RM = 0.31). The extent of gains in vocabulary knowledge after vocabulary treatment did not predict the effect of RVI on comprehension of texts. However, untreated reading comprehension scores moderated the effect of the vocabulary treatment on text comprehension: Lower reading comprehension was associated with greater gains in text comprehension. Readers with comprehension scores below the mean experienced large gains in comprehension, but those with average/above average reading comprehension scores did not. Conclusion Vocabulary instruction had a larger effect on text comprehension for readers in Grade 6 who had lower untreated reading comprehension scores. In contrast, the amount that children learned about taught vocabulary did not predict the effect of vocabulary instruction on text comprehension. This has implications for the identification of 6th-grade students who would benefit from classroom instruction or clinical intervention targeting vocabulary knowledge.
