A aula expositiva tem sido uma das principais estratégias pedagógicas em todo o mundo, desde que o método foi consolidado pelos jesuítas na Idade Média. Mesmo com a introdução de outras metodologias, baseadas em autores como Jean Piaget, e o crescente uso de ferramentas de tecnologia educacional, as aulas expositivas continuam presentes no cotidiano das escolas.Seguindo esse conceito, o professor entra na sala e expõe o conteúdo de uma disciplina para os alunos, que fazem anotações e perguntas. No final da aula, o professor passa a lição de casa. Na aula seguinte, após a correção das tarefas, o professor faz outra apresentação e assim sucessivamente, até a conclusão do curso.Recentemente, porém, um método que inverte esta lógica tem sido adotado por professores. É o flipped classroom ou sala de aula invertida. A união de tecnologia educacional e atividades de aprendizagem nesse modelo permite que os alunos vejam as aulas no seu próprio ritmo, pausando para fazer anotações ou retrocedendo a gravação se não entenderem alguma explicação, por exemplo.
A Metodologia B.I.R.D.(Bringing Innovative and Rapid Development) é através de aprendizagem personalizada, ou personalização, que remete para uma grande variedade de programas educacionais, experiências de aprendizagem, abordagens pedagógicas e estratégias de apoio acadêmico que se destinam a atender às necessidades de aprendizagem, interesses, aspirações, ou origens culturais distintas de cada aluno, fazendo que o mesmo tenha o resultado esperado em um curto espaço de tempo com o uso das tecnologias do dia-a-dia.
"During the presidency of Lula Da Silva, billions of dollars in bribes
were taken to allow construction companies to overcharge the
government-owned oil company, Petrobras. Now, Brazil has corruption, but
it's actually pretty good for a developing country. But the people of
Brazil have come to expect more, and they have been left down.
Current
president, Dilma Rousseff, was chairwoman of Petrobras during the
period of corruption, but no one knows whether Lula or Dilma were
involved or aware. But Lula was under investigation before Rousseff
appointed him to be her chief of staff, a move that means he can no
longer be prosecuted by a normal court.
I think this whole thing
speaks very highly of Brazil. A reckoning had to come, and I'm pleased
the citizens are holding the government accountable. However, I can't
stop seeing parallels between the awful partisan situation here in the
U.S. and the lack of skepticism people in this story have when it comes
to believing awful things about their political opponents.
Using
this scandal to clean up Brazil must be done, but using it to score
political points or gain power is going to rip the country apart.
This
is an epic story, and no one knows where it ends. Whether Rousseff
retains power and who gets elected once the house is fully cleaned out
will say a lot about how this very young democracy handles its economic
and cultural growth when people's perceptions are controlled largely by
social media.
I think there are many good things in Brazil's
future, but leaders will have to do more than fight for power. They will
have to actually lead."
