En aquest article es presenta l'estat actual de l'educació oberta dins el context europeu i, especialment, des de l'enfocament universitari. Inicialment, s'exposa què s'entén per educació oberta contemporània i com aquest concepte ha anat evolucionant al llarg del temps. A continuació, s'incideix en les accions que impulsa la Comissió Europea: des de l'establiment d'un marc europeu d'educació oberta fins a una panoràmica de les polítiques educatives actuals. També s'informa d'experiències concretes i es fan una sèrie de recomanacions per al disseny de polítiques que afavoreixin l'obertura de l'educació. D'altra banda, s'analitza la relació de l'educació oberta amb la ciència oberta i, més concretament, el seu encaix dins aquest nou paradigma. Finalment, es considera si el suport a l'educació oberta és una oportunitat per a les biblioteques acadèmiques i quina influència tenen els professionals de la informació dins el context educatiu obert. This paper provides an overview of open education in Europe, focusing on higher education. It begins by considering how the notion of ‘contemporary open education’ has evolved over time. It then reviews the various open education-related initiatives that have been promoted by the European Commission, from the institution of an open education framework to the current development of education policies. It also reports on specific initiatives and makes a series of recommendations about policy design oriented to opening up education. It analyses the relationship between open education and the open science movement, specifically the manner in which open education can be contextualised in the emergent paradigm of open science. Finally, the paper considers how academic libraries should be supporting open education and examines the influence that information professionals can bring to bear in this field.

The objective of this paper is to articulate school writing practices and the new communication and information technology from the Internet, by searching a way of rethinking and redefining the text production patterns with which schools still deal. In order to explore such relationship, we propose a paper which points out how the use of some digital genres from cyberspace, such as the e-mail and the MSN Messenger, contribute to the construction of collaborative writing practices of some secondary school students. To do so, we will be based on Bakhtinian constructs of speech genres and on the Genre Situated Theory (ERICKSON, 1997; YATES; ORLIKOWSKI; RENNECKER, 1997; SHEPHERD; WATTERS, 1999; DEVITT, 2000) to understand what digital genres are and how they behave. It is an empirical research carried out with sixteen students and one teacher from a secondary State school located in the municipality of Campinas - SP. The students created a website to release a digital newspaper, and, in order to produce texts which shall be exposed in such newspaper, they make use of e-mail, and MSN Messenger. As a resource for a multimodal analysis of the students text productions over the Internet, we will adopt the semiotic metafunctions (presentational, orientational, organizational), displayed by Lemke (1995, 1998a, 1998b), to deal with the data generated by means of the registers of the several ways with which the students construct senses when they learn and develop texts collaboratively through the use of digital genres.

This is a study on a partnership between a non-governmental organization, a municipal Citizenship, Assistance and Social Inclusion Department and a public school in a city in the state of São Paulo. This partnership is developed through social and educational activities for 6 to 14-year-old boys either in the morning or in the afternoon when they are not in school. The aim of the paper is to identify and problematize the procedures used to evaluate the actions of non-formal education (NFE), highlighting possibilities, limits and challenges in this particular case, and then raise questions about how NFE is designed. The concepts of educational and emancipatory evaluation are adopted as theoretical background. The methodology consists of (i) a literature review of key concepts, (ii) documentary research and (iii) semi-structured interviews with one representative from each institution involved in the partnership. The results make it possible to identify limitations and weaknesses of the evaluation procedures, especially regarding its construction and configuration as a participatory and democratic tool, with the possible effect of restricting contributions to the education and transformation of the subjects and evaluated processes. However, there is a need for further studies in this field in order to examine whether the results presented here are repeated when focusing on other partnerships between ENF, government and school.

This paper presents the results of a study on mathematics education according to the New Education movement in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in the context of educational reforms promoted by the government in 1927-1928. Based on the autobiographical writings of two teachers involved with Escola de Aperfeiçoamento, an institution of continuing education for teachers created by these reforms, we investigate proposals for the teaching and learning of mathematics conveyed in this training and the ways in which this training was mobilized in school practices in relation to mathematics. The article unfolds in four parts. The first one presents considerations about autobiographical writing. The second one deals with the autobiographical writings and their authors, Maria da Gloria Arreguy and Alda Lodi. The following section is intended to examine the references to the teaching of arithmetics in elementary school in the autobiographical writings of both. Finally, the text concludes with some considerations about the contributions of these documents for the history of mathematics education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The following paper presents a study about the student familiarity with analogue situations. In order to do this, it was determined to what extent analogue situations presented to students in teaching activities can be considered familiar as well as their justifications given to evaluate the familiarity. Then, firstly were used some questionnaires that were applied to 112 second and third grade students of four High Schools in Candelária, Nova Palma and Santa Maria in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. After that, some individual interviews with a sample of 06 students from one of the schools involved in the study was done. The answer analysis showed that: a) the students considered familiar just the situations effectively lived; b) some students created new analogies, comparing them to the ones already presented, just changing from student to student the analogy elaborated; c) the analogues that seem appropriated to scientists and teachers sometimes were not presented in the same way to the students, once they rejected them; d) the need for justifying the analogues familiarity enabled the students to explore their personal experiences in order to find out other analogues that could justify the first ones; e) the justifications to the familiarity came from different foundations while some students recurred to lived situations and/or professional experiences, others appeal to the knowledge classified in the school contents; f) the students showed scientific knowledge and information which were learned in and out of the school as well as they used these knowledge and informations to produce their answers; g) the analogues came from a conceptual topic of a specific scientific domain, always face the risk of being little familiar; h) in some regions, some analogue situations showed not familiar to students and familiar to others; i) the socio-cultural aspects from the region where the students live tend to condition the knowledge they use to demonstrate upon the analogues. Finally, it is suggested that teachers verify which analogues should be used in a given context. Besides that, it is advisable, during the analogy teaching, to give preference to analogues present in the students everyday life or suggested by them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is the result of a research project developed over 4 years (2011-15) in 13 schools in the region of Cantabria (Spain). In this research, students from different levels of education designed and implemented school improvement processes within a model of the student voice (SV) inspired by the pedagogy of participation and inclusion. This paper describes some of these experiences mediated by technology (photographs, 2.0 devices and video) in order to analyse what opportunities these devices offer as a means for contributing to a more participative and democratic school, where the student voice is a tool for change.

ResumenEste artículo presenta los resultados de investigar el componente práctico de la carrera de Educación Bá- sica, en una universidad chilena cuya formación no contempla la inserción temprana. El estudio busca responder: ¿qué están haciendo y aprendiendo los estudiantes que participan del componente práctico de la formación? Los resultados señalan que el mode- lo terminal propuesto no es obstáculo para que los estudiantes realicen tareas propias de la conducción de la enseñanza; no obstante, la gradualidad de estas acciones falla, cuando la labor formativa del profesor supervisor y el profesor guía no responden a los mo- delos de formación asociados al componente práctico, lo cual obstaculiza los procesos reflexivos necesarios para alcanzar los estándares de desempeño docente.AbstractThis paper presents the results of research on the practical component of the Primary Edu- cation degree course at a Chilean university that does not include student placements. The study seeks to establish what the stu- dents who participate in the practical com- ponent of their training are doing and learn- ing. The results show that the model in itself is not an obstacle for the students to carry out teaching activities. However, the gradual- ness of these activities fails when the super- vising teacher and the guiding teacher do not follow the training methodology established for the practical component. This failure is an obstacle in the reflection process needed to achieve adequate standards of performance for teaching.RésuméCet article présente les résultats de re- chercher dans le composant pratique de la carrière d'Education Basique, dans une Université chilienne dont la formation des en- seignants ne prend pas en compte l'insertion initiale. L'étude vise à répondre: Qu’est-ce- que les étudiants sont en train de faire et d'apprendre avec leur participation dans le composant pratique de leur formation d'enseignants? Les résultats montrent que le modèle terminal qui est proposé n'est pas un obstacle pour que les étudiants puisent réali- ser les devoirs propres de l'accompagnement de l'enseignement; néanmoins, la fréquen- ce de ces actions fait défaut, quand le travail formatif de l'enseignant superviseur et de l'enseignant guide ne répondent pas aux mo- dèles de formation associés au composant pratique, ce qui empêche les processus ré- flexifs essentiels pour parvenir aux principes du travail d'enseignant.ResumoEste artigo apresenta os resultados da pesqui- sa sobre o componente prático da graduação em Educação Básica numa universidade chi- lena cuja formação não contempla a inserção na prática. O estudo procura responder às perguntas: o que fazem e aprendem os estu- dantes que participam do componente prá- tico da formação? Os resultados assinalam que o modelo final proposto não é obstáculo para que os estudantes realizem tarefas pró- prias na condução do ensino. Apesar disto, a gradualidade destas ações falha quando o trabalho formativo do professor supervisor e do professor guia não responde aos mode- los de formação associados ao componente prático, o que gera obstáculos nos processos reflexivos necessários para atingir os padrões de desempenho docente.
