eduCAPES and the scientific dissemination of educational products/processes of a professional graduate program in the state of Pará in the quadrennium 2017/2020

The elaboration of educational products/processes as a result of the dissertation of a Post-Graduation Program (professional modality) is primordial for the improvement of Brazilian education, bringing academic knowledge closer to the needs of society. Therefore, the present research investigates how the knowledge generated by a professional Post-Graduate Program (PGP) in the Teaching Area of a public University in Pará has been disseminated, identifying which regions of Brazil and the world are interested in these educational products/processes. For this, a documentary research was conducted with the analysis of these educational products/processes produced in the quadrennium 2017/2020, made available on the PGP website and on the eduCAPES Platform. Data collected: the type of educational product/process; number of downloads, viewing ranking by country and city (further arranged in geographic regions). It was found that the analyzed production was visualized in the European, American and Asian continents; and in the countries Brazil, United States and Ukraine; in Brazil the largest number of accesses is from the Southeast region. The most viewed products were educational games. In this context, the dissemination of academic production is vital to meet the demands of society and of teachers/researchers, helping in the solution of everyday problems and professional practice. So, making the products/processes accessible by making them available not only in open access platforms but also in other social media. Present the products in other languages for greater global reach.

Improvement of Educational Products Validation form in professional postgraduate programs

ABSTRACT Educational Product and Technical-Technological Product constitute a specificity of postgraduate programs in the professional modality, a product that must be carefully evaluated by the programs and recorded on platforms of evaluating bodies. In 2019, a working group from the teaching area was assembled to create a Validation Form for these products. Thus, this article aims to present a proposal for improving this Validation Form for Educational/Technical-Technological Products, based on reflections treated in scientific articles and scientific events from the area, focusing on the relevance and need for this type of evaluation in a standardized way. It is intended to collaborate with the improvement of the evaluation processes and procedures of Educational/Technical-Technological Products for the necessary accuracy, representativeness, and homogeneity, which will allow the real dimensioning of the contributions of these products. This involves not only training qualified professionals, but also transforming practices in the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) [Brazil's Unified Health System], promoting advances in science and in its fields of application.

Publishing in Local ELT Journals: A Way to Decolonialize Knowledge

Educational institutions, particularly those for higher education, seek to ensure their visibility and valid indicators for institutional accreditation processes through the publications of their teachers. Their projection is intimately associated with the circulation of their production in accredited publications whose reputations depend on their positions in prestigious rankings, databases, and indexing systems. That is why Colombia, in recent years, has experienced an increase in the number of scientific journals published in the country. This phenomenon was a reaction by academics to the obstacles for publishing in renowned journals, generally edited in hegemonic or central contexts, where it is presumed that knowledge is disseminated for the whole world. In this article, I analyze the role played by locally edited journals in the decolonialization of knowledge. I base my analysis on studies carried out in the fields of the English teacher as researcher and writer, academic writings, and the publication of scientific journals. I identify the contributions, suggestions and challenges for publications in the English Language Teaching area. I also stress the importance of strengthening professional communities, encouraging greater participation by professors in the dissemination of their work, and the need to value knowledge generated in peripheral contexts, without ignoring links with the global world.

A análise dos resultados foi embasada pelo referencial teórico da Análise Textual Discursiva. Os resultados da experimentação apresentaram indícios de que a estratégia utilizada despertou interesse nos estudantes, possibilitando momentos de aprendizagem. Assim como, contribuiu para formação inicial destes futuros professores, pois permitiu que os licenciandos mobilizassem saberes docentes, como os disciplinares, pedagógicos e experienciais. Quando se evidência essa mobilização de saberes, é possível ter indícios de que os licenciandos possivelmente possuirão pré-requisitos para preparar aulas no modelo didático aplicado. Um dos desdobramentos dessa pesquisa é motivar pesquisadores da área de ensino a voltar suas pesquisas para formação de professores, na perspectiva de prepará-los para empregar diferentes estratégias didáticas no Ensino de Ciências e Biologia. Palavras Chave: Formação de Professores. Aulas Práticas. Atividades Experimentais. Ensino de Ciências. Abstract Practical activities contribute to greater participation of students in the disciplines, helps to arouse interest in content, besides contributing to the understanding and construction of scientific knowledge. Thus, the present research aimed to elaborate a scientific experiment, in order to assist students of a degree course in Biological Sciences to better understand the content of secondary metabolites – allelopathy, as well as analyzing the contribution of such a strategy. Thus, the reports contained in the evaluative syntheses answered by the students were used as data collection instrument. The analysis of the results was based on the theoretical framework of Discursive Textual Analysis. The results of the experiment showed evidence that the strategy used aroused interest in students, enabling learning moments. As well as, it contributed to the initial formation of these future teachers, because it allowed the graduates to mobilize teaching knowledge, such as disciplinary, pedagogical and experiential. When this mobilization of knowledge is evidenced, it is possible to have indications that the undergraduates may have prerequisites to prepare classes in the applied didactic model. One of the developments of this research is to motivate researchers in the teaching area to return their research to teacher education, in order to prepare them to employ different didactic strategies in science and biology teaching.

APPROACHES AND STEPS IN ESP COURSE DESIGN

This paper discusses how ESP (English for Specific Purposes) course design has developed into one of the most trending EFL teaching fields since the early 1960s. It's a phenomenon that has grown out of a number of other course designs. To date we have come across a huge range of course offers in the ESP field. each course has its own teaching area and has a design or approach to running the course. This paper aims to find out what kind of approach and design is contained or used in each ESP course that integrates all the needs of the course. It is about how to integrate the three components of needs analysis, PSA, TSA, and LSA, and integrated sources of data holders, students, teachers, and experts. Each step of the structured approach will integrate all the components required in an ESP course.
