Diferentes olhares sobre a formação profissional em educação física


Book Description

O livro Diferentes olhares sobre a formação profissional em Educação Física traz um mosaico daquilo que vem sendo o foco de debates da Educação Física brasileira ao longo de sua história. Nos diversos temas investigados, apresentamos uma síntese daquilo que suas linhas vêm desenvolvendo desde o momento da implantação do Centro de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre a Práxis e a Formação Docente (CEPPFD/Uesb), isto é, fazemos um mapa dessa área/campo de conhecimento no Brasil de forma metódica, rigorosa e instigante. Isso já está evidenciado no título da obra, na realidade, as discussões que recortam essa área/campo são postas à prova a partir das mais diversas matrizes epistemológicas, permitindo ao leitor adentrar neste mundo tão fragmentado e difuso que é a Educação Física, mas tendo a possibilidade de perceber suas idiossincrasias. Nessa direção, buscamos apresentar um retrato da formação profissional em Educação sem retoques, desde suas tentativas na busca por uma identidade acadêmica, quando fora sugerida sua exclusão da universidade, até as questões mais comezinhas da educação infantil, essa talvez uma das negligenciadas em relação ao aparato teórico-metodológico. Trata-se de um livro que tem a pretensão de dar ao leitor uma visão da realidade em que a Educação Física transita, sem rodeios das suas mais diversas interfaces, sem intenção de buscar por conciliação ou consenso, revelando com isso os limites epistêmicos da área/campo. Dirigida não apenas aos profissionais da Educação Física, a obra quer atingir outros segmentos interessados nos debates relativos à epistemologia, à gnosiologia e à crítica ontológica, ou seja, aqueles que as questões relativas à produção do conhecimento lhes são caras. Uma das principais vantagens do acesso ao seu conteúdo é ter desvelado na mesma obra as mais diversas correntes, tornando visíveis as contradições e paradoxos que versam na área/campo da Educação Física, muitas vezes obscurecidas.

Teaching Selves


Book Description

2001 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title This is a book about how identities arise, in particular, about how individuals "become" teachers, and how pedagogy in teacher education programs can promote identity development. Teaching Selves argues that being a teacher is not a matter of simply adopting a role but rather involves the construction of an identity as a teacher. Focusing on identity, the book tells the stories of six undergraduate students enrolled in a secondary teacher education program at a large state university. Through a qualitative study made up of interviews, observations, and teaching experiences with the subjects over a three-year period, the author explains the process of becoming a teacher, concentrating on the influences of education courses and other features of the teacher education program. Filled with students' stories and personal reflections from the author, Teaching Selves offers a personal vision of what is possible in a very public endeavor—the education of new teachers.

This book offers a powerful set of tools for thinking and talking about the day-to-day practices of contemporary science classrooms.

Care in Sport Coaching


Book Description

While it is accepted that sport coaches should safeguard participants, Care in Sport Coaching: Pedagogical Cases argues that coaches have a duty of care that moves beyond protection and involves the development of caring relationships with athletes. Recent high-profile incidents of abuse in sport highlight the need to reposition coaching as a caring activity and to embed care within coach education and coaching policy. Based around extended case studies, this book provides grounded accounts of how coaches care in their everyday practice. These case studies are analysed using multidisciplinary theoretical perspectives to illustrate and problematise how coaches care. Conclusions are provided, based on these analyses, that will help coach educators, researchers and policy makers establish care as a key facet of everyday sport coaching activities. Additionally, the book offers guidelines that will aid practitioners to enact care in their practice. This is important reading for coaches, researchers, lecturers and students who are concerned with the role of coaches and the development of coaching practice.




A Course in Miracles Made Easy


Book Description

A Course in Miracles (ACIM)—the self-study spiritual-thought system that teaches the way to love and forgiveness—has captured the minds and hearts of millions of people, and delivered inner peace where fear and pain once prevailed. Its universal message is unsurpassed in its power to heal. Yet many students report that they have difficulty grasping the principles, or encounter resistance to the lessons. So, even while they yearn for the spiritual freedom the Course offers, they put the book aside, hoping one day to get to it. Alan Cohen, ACIM student and teacher for over 30 years, takes the Big Picture ideas of the Course and brings them down to earth in practical, easy-to-understand lessons with plenty of real-life examples and applications. A Course in Miracles Made Easy is the Rosetta stone that will render the Course understandable and relatable; and, most importantly, generate practical, healing results in the lives of students. This unique reader-friendly guide will serve longtime students of the Course, as well as those seeking to acquaint themselves with the program.




Conflict, Livelihoods, and Poverty in Guinea-Bissau


Book Description

Conflict, Livelihoods, and Poverty in Guinea-Bissau is part of the World Bank Working Paper series. These papers are published to communicate the results of the Bank's ongoing research and to stimulate public discussion. Conflict and political instability have weakened Guinea-Bissau's productive infrastructure considerably during the past three decades. This situation contributes to an increase in the degree of vulnerability of the population, especially in rural areas where most economic activities continue to take place. As growth has been weak, poverty levels remain high. This book provides a collection of papers on conflict, livelihoods, and poverty in Guinea-Bissau based on both the nationally representative 2002 household survey and a small scale survey with both quantitative and qualitative components implemented in 2004. The chapters deal with growth and poverty, institutions and social networks, the determinants of poverty, the means of livelihoods of the population, and finally cashew production and taxation.
