TL;DR: According to the statistical notes of the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anisio Teixeira (Inep), the number of enrollments for Special Education students increased in 2018 by 33.2% compared to 2014 in Brazil.
Abstract: According to the statistical notes of the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anisio Teixeira (Inep), the number of enrollments for Special Education students increased in 2018 by 33.2% compared to 2014 in Brazil. This article aimed to verify the enrollment rate of Special Education (students from special schools, special classes and included) in Technical Education for Secondary Education in the State of Amapa- Brazil (2015-2018). Methodologically, data were collected on the Inep website and bibliographic research, with an approach that involves mixed methods. In the results, there was an increase in enrollment in the courses integrated in the federal network, while in the concomitant and subsequent courses the rate of increase occurred in the state network. On the other hand, in Youth and Adult Education (EJA), in turn, there was only registration of enrollments in the face-to-face federal network. It is concluded that schools need to be prepared to serve the public of special education, so that they can guarantee an inclusive quality education. For this, greater public investments in education in the north of the country are needed. In addition to national and state commitment, in the development of research that can map the theme of special education in its relation to levels, stages and other teaching modalities (such as EJA), respecting the socioeconomic and cultural differences of the Brazilian regions, as well as its possible educational strengths and weaknesses.

TL;DR: Teixeira et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted a trabalho quantifying o numero de matriculas in Educacao Especial (Especial) no Estado do Amapa, Brazil, entre 2015 and 2018.
Abstract: O Ensino Fundamental, assim como a Educacao Infantil e o Ensino Medio, tem o intuito de desenvolver no educando a capacidade de aprender, a compreensao do ambiente natural e social e o fortalecimento dos vinculos em que se fundamenta a vida social. O objetivo deste trabalho e quantificar o numero de matriculas na Educacao Especial, nos anos iniciais e fundamentais, no Estado do Amapa, Brasil, entre 2015 e 2018. A abordagem deste estudo e quanti-qualitativa. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa no banco de dados do Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anisio Teixeira (INEP), e a posteriormente discussao dos dados, com base em documentos e bibliografias. Dos dados e variaveis fornecidos percebe-se que a ausencia de dados oficiais, dificulta o embasamento de estudos que permitam alcancar maior profundidade no tema da evasao escolar na Educacao Especial, e por consequencia, avaliar melhor as politicas publicas de insercao para o publico-alvo desta modalidade de ensino. Para inserir equitativamente discentes na Educacao Especial, faz-se necessario que a maioria das escolas possuam o Atendimento Educacional Especializado, e que seja distribuido igualitariamente dentro dos bairros, em seus respectivos municipios para alcancar o maior numero possivel de alunos. Assim como, construir a terminalidade especifica para cada necessidade especifica, bem como, minimizar as fragilidades que o publico-alvo da Educacao Especial, enfrenta no processo educacional e por conseguinte, diminuir os indices de evasao escolar de pessoas com deficiencia.

TL;DR: In this article, the academic efficiency of subsequent technical courses offered by the Federal Institute of Amapa (IFAP) in 2018 was compared in the distance and on-site modalities, and it was found that the Academic Efficiency of the Subsequent Technical Courses offered in the Face-to-face modality is greater than that of the Courses offering in the Distance modality.
Abstract: The Federal Institutes, created in 2008, are part of the Federal Education System and aim at training citizens to work actively in the world of work. The Subsequent Form, one of the ways in which the High School Technical Courses enable technical training and is intended for students who have already finished high school. The objective of this research was to compare the academic efficiency indexes of the subsequent courses, in the distance and on-site modalities, offered by the Federal Institute of Amapa (IFAP) in 2018. To this end, a bibliographical and documentary research was carried out, as to the approach, this study it is quanti-qualitative. The data were accessed on the Nilo Pecanha Platform (plataformanilopecanha.org). It was found that the Academic Efficiency of the Subsequent Technical Courses offered in the Face-to-face modality is greater than that of the Courses offered in the Distance modality. With regard to distance education, because it has lower Academic Efficiency when compared to classroom teaching, it is necessary that the institution develops actions to combat and prevent evasion. In conclusion, the need to foster other studies that investigate the problems related to dropout in Distance Education and that also propose other solutions to minimize dropout rates and raise the Academic Efficiency Index of Subsequent Courses offered in distance education by the Federal Institute of Amapa.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality. Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

TL;DR: A Metodologia Cientifica, mais do que uma disciplina, deve ser encarada como um conjunto de procedimentos sistematicos e racionais, base da formacao tanto do estudioso quanto do profissional as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A Metodologia Cientifica, mais do que uma disciplina, que em principio desperta a ideia de uma linha puramente teorica, deve ser encarada como um conjunto de procedimentos sistematicos e racionais, base da formacao tanto do estudioso quanto do profissional. Ambos atuam, alem da pratica, no mundo das ideias, ou seja, suas linhas basicas caminham pelo campo teorico, porem, o acumulo do conhecimento cientifico teorico, permite a sua aplicacao pratica no desenvolvimento tecnologico, alem de sua utilizacao nas atividades profissionais. Pode-se afirmar que a pratica nasce da concepcao sobre o que deve ser realizado e qualquer tomada de decisao fundamenta-se naquilo que se afigura como o mais logico, racional, eficiente e eficaz. Desta forma, deve-se encarar a Pesquisa Cientifica e o Metodo Cientifico, que fornece os subsidios para a sua realizacao, como fundamentais para o modelo de sociedade que estamos inseridos. Os alunos devem compreender a Metodologia da Pesquisa Cientifica como um instrumento que deve auxilia a humanidade a encontrar as respostas para os problemas que surgem em nossa vida cotidiana, alem da sua importância para a elaboracao do Trabalho Cientifico, que deve ser apresentado ao final do curso de Pos-Graduacao. Para atingir este objetivo, os alunos deverao produzir um resumo cientifico.
