Proximity to services is crucial to reduce social inequalities. Spatial coverage of schools/hos-pitals is estimated here, it is also analyzed if variations in the amount of service received are associated with the socioeconomic level of the neighborhoods. We start from the assumption that the geography of service is ineffective and inequitable. With calculation of buffers, zone statistics and linear regressions, it was found that the service of high schools and hospitals is centralized, but not the distribution of elementary/middle schools, in addition, disadvan-taged groups receive less offer of services, but this is weakly related to the socioeconomic factor.

The aim of this study was to investigate the nature of global argumentation structures in a teaching context based on collective argumentation during a mathematical investigation. To this end, a case study was carried out with students entering a teacher training course in mathematics at a federal educational institution. Data were collected through written records surrounding the group activity as well as through video recording of the collective argumentation. Based on the theoretical methodological framework regarding the subject, the data were analyzed in order to identify the argumentation structure generated and the role of the teacher in its design. As a result, 6 distinct structural compositions were identified, with the "divergent source" structure being an unprecedented contribution to the research literature. The study also revealed that the type of support provided by the teacher during collective argumentation interferes with the anatomy/design of these structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since the COVID‍-‍19 pandemic, educational institutions have implemented measures to balance traditional teaching, educational, and organizational needs with the extraordinary demands posed by the emergency. The focus of the research is to understand whether, several years later, the Italian school system has managed to transform itself, drawing reflections and best practices from the pandemic experience. The role of the school principal is crucial in maintaining a balance by addressing the concerns of both the school staff and students and their families. The article focuses on a qualitative analysis of 14 interviews with school principals in the regions of Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli Venezia Giulia, and Emilia-Romagna. This analysis has underlined a necessary reflection to review and redesign a new model for understanding and evaluating the role of school principals and, consequently, the organizational and educational system.

School management plays a fundamental role in the development and improvement of educational institutions, being crucial in ensuring an environment conducive to student learning and growth. In the contemporary context, the implementation of quality standards and indicators (PIQ) has become a widespread practice, improving educational processes and raising the level of excellence in educational institutions. This research explores the perceptions of school managers at General Secondary School of Chinhamapere in the year 2023 in relation to the implementation of quality standards and indicators and their impact on the development of this educational institution. For the research, the case study method and the content analysis technique were used. The main results of the research show that the effectiveness of PIQ depends, to a large extent, on the understanding and engagement of school managers, who play a central role in the conduct and execution of educational policies. As we stated, most investors confirm the importance of quality standards in improving education, but face challenges in implementing them due to financial constraints and lack of resources. We saw that managers who integrated quality standards into their management practices noticed significant improvements in institutional performance and school community satisfaction.

In the English-speaking Caribbean, an estimated 46% of men and 61% of women are currently overweight or obese, and 8% of children younger than 5 years are also overweight. To combat this worsening epidemic, driven by unhealthy dietary patterns, the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) issued the 2007 Port-of-Spain Declaration, which included mandates on the provision of healthy school meals, promotion of healthy dietary patterns, and reintroduction of physical education in schools. These mandates are aligned with evidence-based approaches used in childhood obesity prevention programs. School-based interventions, including curriculum revisions, are part of a multipronged approach to improve nutrition in children and are designed to complement and reinforce other interventions in schools. However, formal evaluation of the Port-of-Spain Declaration showed that most CARICOM member countries had difficulty implementing the mandates related to schools and diet. The Improving Household Nutrition Security and Public Health in the CARICOM project, in collaboration with regional institutions, the CARICOM Secretariat, and the Caribbean Examinations Council, sought to enhance nutrition education through revision of region-wide primary and secondary school curricula to increase the focus on prevention of noncommunicable diseases. This paper describes the process of revising the Caribbean Examinations Council’s Human and Social Biology syllabus for secondary schools and the CARICOM Health and Family Life Education Regional Curriculum Framework for primary schools, which was achieved through multisectoral collaboration. We used the Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications-Enhanced model to describe the process through which the modifications were made.

Objective: To estimate the incidence of dental caries and associated factors in the school period from six/seven to ten years of age. Material and Methods: A longitudinal study involving 168 children was followed up between 2015 and 2019 in the municipality of Palhoça, Brazil. The dependent variable was the caries incidence rate in the mixed dentition. The independent variables included information regarding demographic and socioeconomic status. Multivariate analyzes were carried out using Poisson Regression with a robust estimator. Variables with p

Abstract: We aimed to investigate and compare the distribution of establishments that sell food near municipal, state, and private schools in the municipality of São Paulo, Brazil. This cross-sectional, exploratory, and census study was conducted in 3,121 schools. Circular buffers were traced around schools and concentrations or dispersions of food stores (in absolute numbers and densities) were analyzed. A p-trend was calculated to analyze how food stores density behaved as the buffer radius distance increased. Stratified regression models were built to analyze the characteristics of the food environment. Snack bars and street vendors are the most common types of establishments surrounding schools. Some categories of food stores are concentrated (such as candy stores around municipal and private schools, mini markets around municipal schools, and snack bars around private schools), whereas others (such as super and hypermarkets and fruit and vegetable stores) are dispersed around public schools. The food environment around schools shows differences regarding the instance that administers them and private schools have more food stores around them. Poor-quality food environment around schools exposes students to risk factors regarding excessive unhealthy food consumption.

Introduction: "Patient safety" needs to be addressed and discussed in a serious and responsible manner, where it is indispensable to equip future professionals to prevent adverse events and develop a culture of patient safety. Thus, there is a need to assess patient safety in undergraduate nursing, in the context of classroom teaching and curriculum internships. Objective: This study proposes to analyze students’ perception of patient safety at a university in Northeastern Brazil. Methodology: This is a unique instrumental exploratory case study using a qualitative approach. Participants were 12 students selected by intentional sampling. Data collection occurred via an online focus group. Data were processed in NVivo software, version 12.0 for qualitative research. Results: The data illustrated the students’ perception of patient safety in three categories: classroom teaching; curriculum internships; and attributes for the management of future nurses. Although the university does not offer a specific patient safety discipline, the issue is addressed from the start of the course, by all teachers in a satisfactory manner. Final comments: The case study found that training health professionals based on patient safety measures is one of the largest investments that universities can make, sharpening critical thinking in order to improve care and reduce hospital costs, and above all, preserve life.

Deaf subjects face a daily struggle to conquer their place in the social environment, since they are often marginalized and despised by the culture imposed by society. In this direction, the present work, elaborated in the form of a critical literature review, aimed to analyze the challenges and impasses for the insertion of deaf young people in school spaces and in the Brazilian work world. It was carried out through a literature review based on authors such as Dayrell (2007, 2013), Ciavatta (2005, 2012), Mori and Sandes (2015), Silva and Pasqualli (2021), Carvalho and Nobrega (2015) among others. Decrees and laws dealing with inclusion processes in Brazil were also analyzed. As a result, it is observed that the discussions reinforce the need for inclusion policies carried out through educational institutions and other associations. It concludes, highlighting the perceptions of the deaf about the challenges faced to enter the world of work, as well as aspects aimed at expanding their training and professionalization.

The vegetation in the cities brings numerous benefits. For the children, these spaces can be used in formal education, as a strategy to prevent the spread of Coronavirus or as a form of teaching with and in nature. In order for these processes of teaching and learning in natural environments to be possible, they need to be readily available near the schools. So, this study aimed to investigate, with the use of geoprocessing tools and freely available spatial data, the existence of tree cover in the courtyard and in the spaces of public use, free of buildings and with Vegetation (EUPLEVs) around the municipal elementary schools I in Curitiba (PR), as well as the conditions of access and stay in these EUPLEVs considering traffic routes with the highest flow of vehicles. As a result, it was found that, from the 185 schools analyzed, 11 did not have tree vegetation in the courtyard or EUPLEVs in the school surroundings, while 6 other schools, although they had tree vegetation in EUPLEVs, presented traffic obstacles to access or stay in these spaces.

This article aims to reflect on the methodological strategies of a research-intervention, with emphasis on the relations between health and work, developed together with women workers from a public elementary school, located in a city in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The investigative course is structured in two steps: i) conversations about the work and observations of work activities; and ii) Meetings about the Work, initially, by professional segment and, later, with the expanded group. The perspective was the construction of a continuous and permanent observatory on the connections between health and work, stimulated by an expanded community of research-intervention - ECRI (or CAPI, in Portuguese). The main focus of the present analysis is the potential of the methodological strategies used, as well as the obstacles faced. The transformations introduced by the processes concerning research-intervention opened a permanent field of daily negotiation, committed to better living, health and working conditions.

Abstract Objective The present study assesses the implementation and the impact after 2 years of a school-based human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination program in a Brazilian city. Methods A prospective study assessing the implementation of the program, offering quadrivalent HPV vaccine in two annual doses to girls and boys aged from 9 to 10 years old. The program was started in the city of Indaiatuba, state of São Paulo, Brazil, in 2018, and had authorization from the National Immunization Program. The number of HPV vaccine first doses applied and the coverage in 2018 was calculated and compared to the year 2017. There were described events that have influenced the results. Results The program invited 4,878 children through schools (87.1% of the target population), and 7.5% refused vaccination. Several concurrent events required or competed for health professionals of the vaccination teams. The coverage of the first dose (between 9 and 10 years old) was 16.1% in 2017 and increased to 50.5% in 2018 (p < 0.0001). The first dose in all ages increased 78% in 2018 compared with 2017 (6,636/3,733). Competing demands over the program continued in 2019, and the first dose coverage dropped (26.9%). For 2020, a municipal law instituted school-based vaccination and the creation of dedicated teams for vaccination, and these strategies are waiting to be tested. Conclusion School-based annual HPV vaccination in children between 9 and 10 years old was feasible and increased vaccination coverage, regardless of gender, although the program was vulnerable to competing events.

Objectives. To identify barriers and enablers to accessing school-based eye health programs in Bogotá, Colombia. Methods. We undertook a qualitative case study that explored how structural factors, and social and cultural norms influence access to school-based eye health programs. We conducted focus groups discussions and interviews with a purposive sample of 37 participants: government stakeholders (n = 4), representatives from nongovernmental organizations (n = 3), and an eye-care practitioner, as well as teachers (n = 7), a school nurse, parents (n = 7), and children (n = 14) from private and public schools. Data were analyzed using a priori themes from the availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality framework. Results. Routine vision screening in schools is not currently provided nor is there a budget to support it. Lack of collaboration between the health and education ministries and the absence of national planning affected the delivery of eye care in schools. Factors related to acceptability of school-based eye health programs included: poor acceptance of training teachers as vision screeners; stigma related to wearing spectacles; and distrust of health services. The cost of spectacles and poor access to eye health information were identified as barriers to positive child eye health outcomes by socioeconomically disadvantaged parents and children. Conclusion. Our findings suggest the need for a national school eye health plan and improved cooperation between health and education ministries. Interventions to improve trust in health services, tackle the lack of human resources while respecting professional qualifications, and raise awareness of the importance of eye health are recommended.

This article presents the results from a research that analysed the teaching practices of history and afro-brazilian and african culture. It aims at understanding how teachers and school staff from four public schools in Rio Branco, State of Acre, Brazil, implemented the policy regarding the theme addressed by the law n. 10.639/2003. Focal groups were conducted with teachers and school staff. The results point out that the actions taken by teachers and school management members are influenced by their beliefs concerning race, racism, racial discrimination, local historic education and multiple heritage. Their actions mediate the importance of the implementation of a school curriculum and policies towards the teaching of history and Afro-Brazilian and african culture. The denial of racial discrimination becomes one of the mechanisms for non-implementing the prescriptions for teaching history and Afro-Brazilian and African culture.

BACKGROUND: From funerary rituals to amphitheater spectacles, gladiators played social roles that changed along the VII century B.C. and the V century A.D. in Ancient Rome. OBJECTIVE: Historically and educationally focused, this text aims to analyze training schools (Ludi gladiatorial) as a formative model for the ways of fighting, arming, physical preparation, the structure used in spectacles, fighting, and living rules, and ultimately, the professionals inside roman combats. METHODS: Therefore, I undertook bibliographical research through the works of Veyne (2009, 2015), Poehler (2013), Garraffoni (2008), and the Site of the Pompeii Archeological Park, among other works that could help me understand gladiators' training and trajectory to meet their contemporary roman society needs. Though considered part of infamous life, gladiators were requested to participate in commemorative religious and military rituals and in entertainment held at amphitheaters, thus, institutionalizing the places destined for training and the troupe (familiae gladiatoriae) to satisfy the roman and non-roman social, cultural, and administrative contexts. RESULTS: Training schools were the institutions that served for physical preparation, technique and coexistence between different subjects (lanista, trainers, fighters and fans) and institutionalized the fighting profession through presentations in local cities and in troupes in the surrounding cities and spread images of fighters, athletes and gladiators evidencing the fame of these representatives of the infamy class; however, they also reveal the formative model to youngsters by referring to the courage to "go down fighting", bordering on heroism, whether for military and political purposes or for disciplinary and punitive ones. CONCLUSION: In that institution, the gladiator's training model was rooted by funerary rituals (munus), religious celebrations, war conquests and punishment for those considered "outside the Roman law", let us not forget to mention that this model was an example of virility, strength and fame, luring young ones and volunteers from Ancient Rome and institutionalizing gladiatorial combat throughout the whole Roman imperial domain.

This study presents a theoretical-conceptual reflection of the notion of social situation of development, constructed by Vygotsky. This is a bibliographic study on the text "El problema de la edad": postulated by Vygotsky and two other authors, Lidia Bozhovich and Laura Domínguez Garcia. Subsidies were sought in the texts to compose the argument of reflection: the concept of Vygotsky and its application in studies on personality, especially in the field of school education. The reflection reiterates the social situation of development as an intrinsic condition to the relationship that children establish with their physical and social environment in their development. The end of the social situation of development at a given age is marked by changes, the manifestation of which indicates a stage in the development and formation of the personality. As a category to understand the child's development, the social situation of development is projected as important to understand the relationships it creates with the school environment.

The aim of the present study was to estimate the chance of early sports specialization in a school population. A questionnaire on Early Specialization was prepared, and 830 practitioners of different modalities answered demographic data. Participants were recruited from public and private schools. The classification of early specialization was based on selfrating methods and the three-point system. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression analysis. The results showed that the chance for sports specialization by type of school is twice as high for public schools in the moderate (OR= 2.06; 95%CI 1.46--2.74) and high (OR= 1. 96; 95%CI 1.19--3.26) than private schools. The points system classified adolescents into levels: low, medium and high specialization, showing 61.8% (n= 495), 29.5% (n= 235), 8.7% (n= 70) respectively. Participants classified themselves as practicing a single (n= 405, 50.6%), or multiple sports (n= 396, 49.4%) through the self-classification system. Therefore, the chance of a student being specialized early is low, and the age variable was not determinant in influencing the specialization of students. However, sports specialization seems to be influenced by gender and school type. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study aimed to investigate the perception of adolescent students about the issues that integrate sexual health. The research was designed from an exploratory and descriptive method, with a qualitative approach, developed in a school unit in the city of Icó - Ceará (Brazil), in October 2017. The data were extracted from interviews, and counted with the participation of 8 adolescents, where, later, it was subjected to Minayo's content analysis. The results brought important reflections, and the organization of the speeches allowed the construction of 3 categories: Horizons of sexuality in adolescence; Interrupted family dialogues about sexuality in adolescence; The internet as a definer in the knowledge of adolescents about sexuality. The results made it possible to understand the problems associated with adolescent sexuality, in an attempt to also perceive multiple nexuses involving these discussions, in addition to bringing to light biopsychosociocultural aspects of great relevance to this phase of life.

Language allows man to order and mean the world around him and by using it we can name reality and attribute meaning to our experience. Besides that, language is used in each community to represent the local reality. Thus, people name the elements in order to represent what they experience, printing, in the names, indications of their stories, cultures and social facts. This work aims to present partial results of scientific initiation research which seeks to discuss and analyze how schools are named in the municipality of Missal-PR, this study is unprecedented in the onomastic area. This article seeks to examine official and spontaneous toponyms attributed to the schools of the municipality under study. The corpus of this work was formed by names of nine schools, the municipality has, in all, fifteen schools. One of the schools whose name had been analyzed in this article is located in the center of the city because it was designed to be close to the church. Eight schools are located in the interior of the municipality, two in districts and the others in villages and communities. We use documentary investigation to achieve the proposed objective, namely: to know the toponymic motivations of the names of schools, taking into account the historical, cultural and ideological influences that influenced the choice of these names.
