THE REGULAR SCHOOLING AND THE FORMAL ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION: RISING, PRINCIPLES AND NORMATIVE ELEMENTS
The present essay aims to discuss the Environmental Education within regular school considering the historical path of its insertion and the main normative elements that rules it. For that, the study is divided in three sections. Firstly, before going to the Environmental Education's specifics, there's the concern of familiarizing the reader about the Brazilian formal education bringing, in the two first sections of the essay, laws and principles that guide the different levels and modalities of education. Following, in the three last sections, discussing Environmental Education, it gives attention to a brief historical background on the rising of this field of knowledge and then discussing the rules that regulate its practice in regular education. Lastly, it illustrates with some academic works a little bit of the school practice in Environmental Education realized by some different levels and modalities of teaching within the country.
A educação como um direito fundamental de natureza social
There seems to be a consensus on the idea that our government should consider education as a priority. However, reality shows that education is still a distant dream, especially for the most vulnerable groups in our society. Both the practical implications of the fact that our Constitution states the right to education as a fundamental right of social nature and the requirements that can be addressed to the State to meet it are little known. Who is benefited by such right? May it be demanded collectively? Does it only mean a seat in an elementary school or the right to require public policies? May legal mechanisms be used in case of irregular or inadequate offer? The challenge of this article is to define the legal regime of the right to education as a fundamental right of social nature to contribute to increase the concrete possibilities for its satisfaction.
Content strategy in LibGuides: An exploratory study
Abstract Since its inception in 2007, Springshare's LibGuides has become a popular content management system (CMS) with academic libraries. The challenges of managing LibGuides content through a cohesive content strategy have not been well documented. The researchers conducted a survey of academic libraries that were using the LibGuides platform in Fall 2019 to determine how institutions are managing content challenges. Of 120 respondents, only 53% of the respondents indicated that their institutions had content guidelines that LibGuides authors were expected to follow. The top three most observed elements of these content guidelines were page design (80%), content reuse policies (77%), naming conventions (73%), and navigation (3%). 15% of respondents' institutions did not review guides once they were published. Of those that reviewed guides post-publication, authors (84%) most frequently reviewed their own guides. These findings imply that LibGuides are largely cared for on an honour system. Guidelines tend towards quantifiable elements and omit more abstract concepts.
