- Da deficiência à diferença: divisões na conceptualização de s/Surdos e ouvintes.Publication . Silva, Ana Isabel; Oliveira, Ana MariaConstruímos e relacionamo-nos com o mundo pela linguagem. O seu uso revela preconceitos, fundamenta estereótipos e cria estigmas. Historicamente ancoradas à deficiência, a conceção de surdez varia entre comunidades ouvinte e Surda. A linguística cognitiva descreve este matizado de conceitos à luz da teoria da categorização, preferindo um tratamento da linguagem atualizada no uso pragmático da língua. Três formas de conceptualizar a surdez a partir da dicotomia deficiência – diferença, representadas por uma formadora de LGP, uma professora de educação especial e uma audiologista, reequacionando o jogo de palavras entre deficiência e diferença, que começa a diluir-se em múltiplas identidades.
- El humor en libros de texto de matemáticassPublication . Menezes, Luís; Flores, Pablo; Ribeiro, António; Matos, Isabel Aires de; Balula, João Paulo; Oliveira, Ana Maria; Delplancq, Véronique; Viseu, Floriano; Gomes, Helena Margarida dos Santos Vasconcelos; martins, ana patríciaEl humor en educación se asocia generalmente al discurso del profesor, pero también a los recursos didácticos, como libros de texto, en los que se espera que tenga una doble función: (i) afectiva, aliviando el estress y motivando a los alunos; y (ii) cognitiva, contribuyendo a la comprensión de los conceptos. Las Matemáticas escolares con frecuencia despiertan en los alumnos sentimientos poco favorables por la alta abstracción de sus contenidos. Estas circunstancias han justificado que consideremos relevante examinar cómo se recoge el humor en los libros de texto portugueses y españoles de Matemáticas. Para esto hemos realizado un análisis del conteúdo de cuatro libros de texto de Matemáticas en Portugal (dos de 4º y uno de 5º curso) y uno de España, todos ellos de amplia difusión nacional. Examinamos el tipo de humor, los objetivos del humor, la forma en que desafían al alumno y las formas en que se presenta. Los resultados muestran que prácticamente no aparece humor en los libros, ni en el texto ni en las ilustraciones. Sin embargo, todos los textos muestran situaciones de buena disposición, presentando recurrrenemente gente riendo (Portugal), o personages con gesto amables y simpáticos (Espanha e Portugal), o situaciones lúdicas.
- A emancipação da Língua Gestual Portuguesa na plataforma multilinguePublication . Silva, Ana Isabel; Oliveira, Ana MariaA educação para a diversidade continua a ser redefinida à luz de diferentes paradigmas educacionais emergentes. Cabe nesta comunicação entender a LGP como uma língua minoritária, construtora de cidadania e de diversidade na plataforma multilingue europeia. Reflectiremos acerca da importância da comunidade surda na cultura de empowerment deste código linguístico visuo-espacial, cujo estatuto se inscreve num conjunto de documentos oficiais de natureza nacional e internacional, mas cuja consolidação se ancora ainda a (di)visões herdadas de mundividências co-construídas entre normo-ouvintes e surdos. Reequacionaremos esta dicotomia sublinhando o papel dos agentes educativos na construção de uma terceira margem (Zarate, 2003) almejando o cosmopolitismo.
- Foreign language skills: a challenge for the economyPublication . Delplancq, Véronique; Costa, Ana Maria; Oliveira, Ana Maria; Amante, Susana; Oliveira, Isabel; Abrantes, José Luís; Pato, Maria Lúcia; Amaral, Odete; Fidalgo, SusanaAwareness of the fact that multilingualism opens doors to new markets and new business opportunities is not an original phenomenon, but the various works produced with a view to its being acknowledged are still little publicized and granted little practical use also. Showing mastery of communicative skills in several foreign languages is always valuable for the market economy, not only in terms of sales and marketing, but also in order to reach new target groups and establish lasting strategic relationships. The purpose of this article is to provide a general overview of the studies carried out in this context, focusing in particular on aspects such as the increasingly obvious relationship between in force language practices of a diversified nature and the proper functioning of businesses. Equally important is the mastery of language skills, seen as an important driving force of cross-border cooperation, as well as the development of an emotional culture within the business world, propitious to the implementation of efficient language management strategies, which are clearly beneficial inasmuch as the market economy is concerned.
- Foreign languages and employability: a complex relationship. Case study in the region of Viseu (Portugal)Publication . Delplancq, Véronique; Costa, Ana Maria; Oliveira, Ana Maria; Amante, Susana; Abrantes, José Luís; Pato, Lúcia; Amaral, Maria Odete; Relvas, Susana; Fidalgo, SusanaThe challenges of today's societies when it comes to employability and to the reality of the current labour market are more and more delicate and diversified. One of the major commitments we expect from higher education is to prepare its students to face this kind of complexity, understanding its nuances and having the capacity to adapt quickly to situations which are common in companies’ lives. From this perspective, the assessment of the impact that the mastery of FL (foreign languages) among our students can have on the different business sectors becomes paramount. It involves reorganising the work carried out with the students during their academic path and raising awareness of future professionals so they may understand the importance of obtaining and mastering communicative skills in foreign languages that will provide them with the right tools to ensure an effective response to the requirements they will have to meet when they apply for a job. The close connection that exists between higher education institutions and the business world also allows the companies to realize that they should (re)think their recruitment policy in order to take into account the importance of foreign languages. Bearing this in mind, the project "Foreign Languages and Employability" (FLE), that will be presented in this article, started in January 2017, at the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (IPV), in Portugal. It focuses on creating a closer relationship with the local business community in order to understand its needs regarding foreign languages. The aim of the project is to strengthen the more practical aspects of the students’ education to ensure the graduates’ employability and a successful professional development. Data collection is carried out through the analysis of job offers, through the replies given to online surveys and through semi-structured interviews. The project includes representatives of the different IPV schools (Agrarian, Education, Health, Technology and Management) working in different sectors of the institution.
- Há um falar e dois entenderesPublication . Oliveira, Ana Maria; Adão, TeresaHá um falar e dois entenderes numa perspectiva da psicolinguística, mostrando que o conteúdo de uma palavra ou expressão pode/tem sempre um segundo "entender"
- HUMAT: O humor no ensino da MatemáticaPublication . Menezes, Luís; Ribeiro, António; Santos vasconcelos gomes, Helena; martins, ana patrícia; Oliveira, Ana Maria; Delplancq, Véronique; Matos, Isabel Aires de; Balula, João Paulo; Viseu, Floriano; Flores, PabloProcessar o humor e ser capaz de o produzir é, claramente, um sinal de inteligência, revelando, quando bem feito, raciocínios complexos. O humor tem um papel social importante, assumindo-se como uma experiência cognitiva que, para além de criar uma sensação de bem-estar, predispõe as pessoas para o trabalho e pode melhorar a produtividade desse mesmo trabalho. A Matemática é uma disciplina em que o raciocínio ocupa um lugar de destaque, tanto enquanto ciência como enquanto área escolar. Ao mesmo tempo, a Matemática não desperta na generalidade dos alunos o mesmo interesse, havendo alguns que apresentam à partida reações pouco favoráveis. As recentes alterações curriculares no ensino da Matemática têm, na maioria dos países do mundo, afirmado a necessidade de os alunos desenvolverem competências de natureza transversal, como a comunicação, o raciocínio e a resolução de problemas matemáticos a par da aquisição do conhecimento matemático. Também em Portugal, contemplam a importância de promover aprendizagens que aliem a construção de conhecimento matemático ao seu uso, na realização de tarefas matemáticas problemáticas e na comunicação de ideias e raciocínios matemáticos.
- Humor as a new teaching perspective for allPublication . Oliveira, Ana MariaThe importance of humour has been increasing the interest in its potential applications in a variety of professional domains. This is the case of education which was traditionally seen as a serious undertaking where there was no place for humour. However it is now understood that it is possible and very advantageous to make learning fun. In the classroom, teachers should assume the role of learning mediators. so it seems pertinent to assess teachers’ ability to process humour information through humorous texts.
- O humor em manuais escolares de MatemáticaPublication . Menezes, Luís; Ribeiro, António; Oliveira, Ana Maria; Delplancq, Véronique; Santos vasconcelos gomes, Helena; martins, ana patrícia; Matos, Isabel Aires de; Viseu, Floriano; Flores, Pablo; Balula, João PauloHumor has a wide presence in people's lives, combining affective and cognitive elements with the intention of well-being. In addition to the leisure contexts, humor has also been used in contexts associated with work, namely schools, placed at the service of teaching. Since school textbooks are a resource widely used by teachers, particularly those of mathematics, it seems pertinent to us: (I) to access the usage of humor in Mathematics school textbooks; and (ii) describe the humor used in textbooks and discuss their didactic framework. For this, we submitted, to content analysis, four textbooks of Mathematics (of the 4th and 5th grades) with wide national diffusion. The results reveal that humor, both in the text and in the illustration, has practically no expression in the textbooks. Even so, all textbooks value, at the illustration level, light-hearted situations, presenting repeatedly, people laughing.
- Humor in mathematics teaching: tasks for the classroomPublication . Menezes, Luís; Gomes, Helena Margarida dos Santos Vasconcelos; Ribeiro, António Augusto Gaspar; martins, ana patrícia; Flores, Pablo; Viseu, Floriano; Oliveira, Ana Maria; Matos, Isabel Aires de; Balula, João Paulo; Delplancq, VéroniqueThis book, Humour in Mathematics Teaching: tasks for the classroom, is a corollary of HUMAT Research Project (Humour in Mathematics Teaching), developed by the Higher School of Education of Viseu (Portugal), in partnership with the University of Minho (Portugal), the University of Granada (Spain) and the University of Mendoza (Argentina), with the support of the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (Portugal) and of the CI&DETS. The project rests upon two fundamental assumptions. On the one hand, it assumes that humour plays a crucial role in creating a learning environment that can boost the students’ motivation and encourage them to learn mathematics. On the other hand, it assumes that the understanding of humour and the learning of Mathematics are two activities that require a good reasoning capacity. It also recognises that the inquiry-based mathematics teaching, grounded on the work of the students leading to the completion of challenging mathematical tasks, provides a high potential for learning. All those considerations led to the birth of this book that offers mathematical tasks with a humorous twist and whose main goal is to fulfil these two functions: to persuade students to learn and make them think about humorous situations that involve mathematical concepts. To achieve this goal, the book is organised into two sections. The first is devoted to a brief introduction to the concept of humour and the other concepts that are associated to it approaches the concept initially in a broader sense, then focusing on the teaching of Mathematics. The largest section of the book, the second, is devoted to the presentation of mathematical tasks that are based on panels or comic strips involving humorous and witty content.
