The Catholic Church and the process of literacy among the poor
This book discusses the influence of Christian religious ideologies, especially the Catholic one, on the literacy process of individuals belonging to the lower classes of society. For many years, the Church has influenced people from different countries and continents through its ideology, whether in social behaviour or in education as a whole. The influence of religions affects people in different ways, varying according to each social class. For this reason, carrying out a historical analysis of religious influence in the educational process will allow us to critically determine the positive aspects of religious literacy and the problem of using this literacy as a form of domination. This will determine the extent to which literacy can occur via the religious sphere, enabling individuals to get closer to reading and writing practices, while at the same time relegating them to the condition of being ideologically dominated.
Higher Education and Teaching Quality
This book is aimed at educators and others interested in the topic of initial and continuing training for university teachers. From a social-historical perspective, we take pedagogical practice as our basis and start from the assumption that human action is endowed with personal meanings and senses, within a dynamic context in which elements of the personal and professional history of teachers who are seeking training are articulated. What we are investigating here is whether teachers in higher education are seeking appropriate training for their profession. We will reflect on the way in which their professional training takes place and its direct impact on improving the quality of higher education. Linking teacher training to the improvement of university teaching leads us to think that the identity of the education professional can only be conceived from the link with the meaning of social practice, so that this educator, throughout their training, needs to recognise themselves from their insertion in the society to which they belong.
The Effects of AVB in Teaching Children with Autism
The importance of implementing an early intervention programme in Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is widely acknowledged. Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is one particular intervention model that has received increasing attention. The essence of ABA is a careful analysis of behavior, adapted from the initial studies of Skinner, which aims to develop skills and reduce maladaptive behaviours in individuals with ASD. A core component of ABA is the use of positive reinforcement strategies to increase the probability of occurrence of certain behaviours. However, there is ongoing debate over the use of behavioural interventions as best practice for ASD. In this book, the efficacy of an ABA-based intervention was evaluated in ten children with ASD. The results of the present study demonstrated clear collateral gains in speech and social communicative behaviours. Additionally, there were significant reductions in the frequency of problem behaviours, which were associated with decreased parental stress level scores. These results indicate that ABA could be used as a tool to successfully promote target behaviours as well as reduce maladaptive behaviours in ASD.
Afro-Brazilian Literature and Identities
Faced with the ethnic-racial obstacles that I observe and experience on a daily basis within school walls, I decided to focus my efforts on building educational knowledge that contributes to the development and insertion of pedagogical practices that explore the cultural and racial diversity of students. I chose to work with Afro-Brazilian literature, not because it was a fad or compulsory, but because I believe that the literary bias, backed by Law No. 10.639/03, highlights the importance of black culture in shaping Brazilian society. In addition, it contributes to and intervenes in an affirmative construction of the ethnic-racial identity of adolescents of African descent within the school environment. To this end, I searched Afro-Brazilian literature for black protagonists who were not portrayed or seen as inferior to whites; not dirty, not ugly and certainly not animalized. But they should be seen as human beings who don't need any adjectives to describe their humanity and their biotype in terms of the color of their skin, their hair, the shape of their face, among other characteristics.
Affectivity and Cognition in Secondary Education
This work is the result of the author's life experience and tireless studies as an educator, in an attempt to prove the interference of affectivity in the construction of knowledge and in the life of every human being as a whole. Through a study carried out on the school floor, the author looks for evidence of the positive and negative interferences that occur in the school environment and which, directly or indirectly, affect the development of student learning. As well as demonstrating the transformative or destructive power that teachers have in the exercise of their profession, the author seeks answers to the events that occurred in the classroom when he attended the initial grades of elementary school and had both extremely pleasant and unpleasant experiences in his literacy process. These experiences were reflected throughout his academic life. This book seeks to provide guidance to education professionals so that they can reflect on and become aware of the importance of their work as educators and promoters of the future dreams of their students or, in a similar way, destroyers of dreams.
Physical education teachers’ continuing education narratives
This study investigates continuing education in Physical Education using as its source the (auto)biographical narratives of 14 Physical Education teachers who work in Basic Education in three municipalities in Greater Vit籀ria/ES. It is characterised as a study of (auto)biographical narratives, using as sources: questionnaires, focus groups, interviews, conversation circles and participant observation recorded in a field diary. The study is structured in three linked chapters. In the first, we analyse the meanings that teachers attribute to continuing training. The second analyses the productive consumption that teachers produce in and from training contexts. With the aim of bringing the university closer to basic education and signalling possibilities for policies on the subject, in the third chapter we analyse the training carried out at the Physical Education Centre (CEFD) of the Federal University of Esp穩rito Santo.
School subjects, interdisciplinarity and race relations
Nowadays, the importance of discussions on racial issues in different social spheres is becoming increasingly evident, especially in education. This is based on Law No. 10.639/03, which makes it compulsory to include 'Afro-Brazilian History and Culture' in the official curriculum of schools. This law comes as a complement to the National Education Guidelines and Bases Law (Law No. 9.394/96) and emphasises the importance of history and traditions of black origin and the study of race relations for the human development of Brazilian children and young people. The aim of this book is to enable teachers to develop a view of racial issues within the subjects they teach at school and the possible connections with other school knowledge, with reference to valuing and stimulating teacher protagonism and autonomy in the construction of school knowledge and practices in the most appropriate way for the school contexts in which they are inserted.
Leading With Culture
Leading With Culture introduces a groundbreaking perspective on organizational culture, focused on building people-centered organizations. This new paradigm views culture through the lens of employee experience, providing fresh insights into how culture shapes the modern workplace.Much of our understanding of organizational culture is based on concepts developed decades ago.

Teaching Narratives
I'm sharing this study with readers, especially education professionals, the title of which seeks reflections on which we as curriculum makers - whether we're the practitioners, those who (re)invent their actions and knowledge on a daily basis, or those who study and question these actions. We all know that the curriculum is woven into the daily life of each school and classroom, privileged places for the construction of knowledge. It is in these spaces that each of us, teachers and students, construct and reconstruct knowledge and actions. A place where people learn, teach, criticise, create, reproduce, think, do, build and destroy, form, are formed, are informed, improvise. A meeting place for various subjects, cultures and experiences. A space for multiple relationships and events that take place in the day-to-day life of the institution. This study is intended to pay tribute to literacy teachers from Cape Verde and Brazil, who, despite often working in precarious contexts, living with discourses that subjugate them, produce the present with the aim of making the future of the students possible.

Performing Organizational Paradoxes
Performing Organizational Paradoxes takes a constitutive, process approach to organizational paradoxes. It underscores the performative nature of paradox through underlying dialectical tensions, its sociomaterial foundations, and power features that bring paradoxes to life, sustain them, and enable their transformation. The book first situates a constitutive approach in the extant organizational paradox literature, by broadening the constitutive approach and addressing the many debates and inaccuracies around it. For the novice, several early chapters devote themselves to considering how paradoxical tensions present themselves, invite responses, and interrelate through their organizing outcomes. For the advanced, latter chapters consider the ubiquity of power and paradox, how bodies escape the quarantine of their paradox narratives, how inventive category work can resist power-imbued paradoxes, and an agenda for future research that challenges scholars to do more on the process side of paradox.Filling an important gap in the existing literature, this book will be a key resource for scholars and students in the fields of communication, management, educational administration, organizational psychology and any other fields that study organizations.

Challenges in training teachers for the Accountancy course
This book discusses the main challenges in the training of teachers for the Accountancy course. The aspects covered are discussed on the basis of the literature in the field, in order to provide an in-depth study of the subject. The book emphasises the need for better pedagogical preparation for Accounting professionals who work in teaching and that this preparation needs to be different from that traditionally present in Brazilian higher education institutions. Based on the data and discussions presented, it can be seen that the main challenges in the pedagogical training of teachers for the Accountancy course are mainly related to three specific factors: the recent changes in the profile of the course; the lack of didactic preparation of the teachers currently working; and the relatively low number of stricto sensu postgraduate programmes in the area. The book therefore proposes a reflection on the pedagogical training of the teachers who work on this course, so that future advances can be planned and implemented.
New perspectives on the actions of a pedagogical coordinator
This work was developed after being linked to the Postgraduate Programme in Mathematics Education, at master's level, at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul and aims to analyse the contributions of the Observatory of Education group in the actions of a pedagogical coordinator. The following stages were developed: Understanding the actions of a pedagogical coordinator, based on being part of a project focused on collaborative work and understanding the new perspectives of this coordinator based on the discussions in the study group. The theoretical references were based on the following authors: Franco (2008), Fusari (2007), Lib璽neo (2003), among others. The research approach was qualitative and the methodological procedures adopted were: autobiographies, narrative interviews and reflective sessions. With this work, we hope to expand the production of knowledge in the educational field that can subsidise discussions about the training of teachers who teach mathematics in basic education.
E-mail and letter to a radio program
With the advent of radio, a form of communication was established beyond the airwaves. What can be called the listener's letter emerged, assuming the role of a link between listener and broadcaster. However, since the establishment of this mode of interaction, there has been no study of this textual genre. This is what this work demonstrates, in an unprecedented and pioneering study of the textual genre of the listener's letter. In this way, the work deals with the socio-communicative functioning of the letter, e-mail and blog sent to a radio program, from the point of view of discursive studies of communicative genres from a socio-interactionist perspective. The aim is to analyze these genres comparatively, characterizing them in their context, describing the linguistic resources in each one, such as lexical selection, syntactic organization and forms of address, as well as observing discursive strategies and rhetorical organization. This book is aimed at teachers of Portuguese language at primary, secondary and university levels.
Computer science teaching supported by NICTs in the Cear獺 context

Each scenario described gives the reader the opportunity to glimpse pedagogical practice with the use of technologies in favor of the tasks of teaching and learning, as well as to think critically and reflectively about the problems arising from situations that arise in contemporary education.
Teaching math to the deaf in two inclusive state schools
When I accept another person's language, I accept the person. When I reject the language, I have rejected the person, because language is part of ourselves. When I accept sign language, I accept the deaf person, and it's important to always bear in mind that the deaf person has the right to be deaf. We shouldn't change them, we should teach them, help them, but we have to allow them to be deaf." (Terje Basilier).
Profile of distance learning students in the Chemistry course at the Graja繳 hub
This paper is part of a study on the profile of distance learning chemistry students at the UAB-Graja繳 hub. As the first stage of the investigation, an analysis was carried out of the PPCs of the Chemistry degrees in the Distance Education modality - EaD managed by the SisUAB platform, based on which it is possible to understand how the student is expected to complete the course. It is understood that this profile is a way of looking at the course and possibly raising the difficulties faced by the students. This is a quantitative and qualitative study, using a questionnaire applied to 7 students on the distance education Chemistry course at the UAB-Grajau pole - at the Federal University of Maranh瓊o. After collecting the data, it can be seen that the majority of the students are between 30 and 40 years old, 86% live in the urban area, and their maturity shows that the greatest difficulty in the distance learning course is not having internet at home, but they still point to face-to-face meetings as an essential factor, showing that they do not understand the essence of distance education, which is autonomy in learning.

Teachers’ Strategies for Teaching Mathematics in Heterogeneous Classes
The book is the result of a study that investigated teaching strategies to promote mathematics learning in heterogeneous classes in the final years of elementary school. It was based on questionnaires and interviews with math teachers who work with adolescents in the Belo Horizonte public school system. By recognizing, through their reports, practices considered to be successful, these were investigated. In general, the teaching strategies analyzed in this research had some of the following characteristics: autonomy of work; intentionality of actions; seeking teacher-student interaction (affectivity); monitoring students for longer periods; concern for students' human and citizen training; positive expectations regarding students' learning potential; understanding of education as a right that must be guaranteed by the teacher, and valuing in-service teacher training. The results indicated that there is a range of possibilities and alternatives capable of promoting mathematical knowledge in situations where there is heterogeneity among the learners.

Towards Excellence
Higher education systems have always focused on knowledge and scientific research, playing a key role in the creation, preservation and transmission of these resources for the benefit of the community. Over the last few decades, these systems have undergone significant transformations to better meet the needs of contemporary society. Since the enactment of Law 01.00, major efforts have been made to improve Moroccan higher education and adapt it to the country's ambitions. These initiatives include the implementation of the LMD (Licence, Master, Doctorat) system and the 2009-2012 Emergency Program, which introduced a contractual relationship between the State and universities, with monitoring of university projects based on precise objectives and quantifiable indicators.

Distance Education
Today, the consolidated practice of Distance Education, fully inserted in the context of the development of and greater access to information and communication technologies, makes it possible to further democratize higher education in the country. But how has it been introduced into academic environments and higher education courses? Is there any preparation or training for those who will be working with it? What problems will they face? As the text will show the reader interested in the subject, the problems that arise are pedagogical, administrative, human resources and inexperience in financial management. More work needs to be done, work that exposes the reality, because many of us believe that these problems are only occurring on our course, when this is not true. This work is aimed at those who work as course coordinators, teachers who work or will work in distance learning courses and university managers in general.

The research was carried out in Professional Master's Degrees in Science and Mathematics Teaching in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in public and private institutions, and seeks to understand the expectations of teachers graduating from Professional Master's Degrees in Science Teaching.
Theory of Semiotic Representation Registers for beginners
In this book I bring together considerations I have made and published about the meaning of symbols for learning in general. And since maths is made up of symbolic systems. I also talk here, in a clear and accessible way, about the Theory of Semiotic Representation Registers as a way of understanding, specifically, the learning of maths; since it was conceived to bring contributions to the understanding of how the learning of this discipline is processed cognitively and can help teachers and researchers working in this field of knowledge.
