O combate à doença de Chagas no Brasil tem passado por transformações significativas ao longo dos anos. A partir da década de 1980, o país implementou com sucesso programas de controle que reduziram drasticamente a transmissão vetorial e transfusional do Trypanosoma cruzi. No entanto, desafios permanecem, como o crescimento das áreas urbanas, que levou à reintrodução da doença em novos contextos. A vigilância deve ser constante, especialmente em áreas rurais e periurbanas, onde espécies de triatomíneos, ainda presentes, continuam a representar um risco de transmissão. Além disso, o manejo de casos crônicos e a integração de novas tecnologias diagnósticas são fundamentais para a continuidade do controle da doença de Chagas. São considerados modos de transmissão da doença de Chagas, EXCETO:

Os indicadores de saúde são empregados como ferramenta para identificar, monitorar, avaliar ações e subsidiar as decisões do gestor. Por meio deles é possível identificar áreas de risco e evidenciar tendências. Considerando a informação como subsídio para o planejamento de uma equipe de trabalho, deve-se escolher quais indicadores serão usados em nosso planejamento, quando, então, a partir dessa escolha, refletir a respeito dos instrumentos de coleta de dados, uma vez que a “alimentação” correta desses instrumentos é condição necessária para obtenção do resultado final do processo que reflete a situação real, qualquer inconsistência nesse resultado, comprometerá o valor da informação; portanto, quanto mais simples e compreensível for o instrumento de coleta, melhor será essa captação e seu resultado final.

Brasil surge como potência em energias renováveis do G20


Sucesso se deve à robusta base hidrelétrica e expansão da solar, destaca Ember.



O Brasil é líder em energia renovável dentro do G20. No total, 89% da eletricidade do país veio de fontes limpas em 2023, de longe a mais alta entre as economias do G20 e três vezes maior do que a média global de 30%. Enquanto isso, quase metade do G20 ficou abaixo da média mundial. Segundo Kostantsa Rangelova, analista global de Eletricidade da Ember, o sucesso do Brasil em atingir uma parcela tão alta de renováveis se deve principalmente à sua robusta base hidrelétrica e à rápida expansão da energia solar e eólica nos últimos anos.

As fontes de energia renovável são pauta de destaque nas discussões globais acerca das mudanças climáticas e desenvolvimento sustentável. Tendo em vista que o Brasil adquiriu posto de destaque na utilização de “energia limpa”, pode-se evidenciarp como pontos positivos da utilização doméstica de energia solar:

O cinema não deve ser visto apenas como mais um recurso didático-pedagógico, mas também como forma de socialização, assim como a educação. Nesse sentido e, ainda, seguindo o que afirmam os PCNs: “a história não é ensinada apenas no espaço escolar, os alunos têm acesso a inúmeras informações e imagens transmitidas por diversos meios – rádio, livros, enciclopédias, jornais, revistas, televisão, cinema, vídeo e computadores –, que também difundem personagens, fatos, datas, cenários e costumes que os instigam a pensar sobre diferentes contextos e vivências”.

66Q895181 | História, História Geral, História, Prefeitura de São João Nepomuceno MG, Consulplan, 2024

Desde a formação do Estado brasileiro, no início do século XIX, a história tem sido um conteúdo constante nos currículos escolares. Contudo, seus objetivos, propostas e metodologias de ensino nem sempre foram os mesmos. Isto porque, como campo de pesquisa e produção de saber, a história não possui uma abordagem unificada. Logo, no campo de ensino, as abordagens teóricas e metodológicas também variam. Podemos, então, situar a inclusão da história no currículo escolar no ano de 1827, pelo “Decreto das Escolas de Primeiras Letras”, a primeira lei sobre a instrução nacional do Império do Brasil. Segundo o texto desse decreto, a escola elementar (ou básica) deveria fornecer aos educandos noções básicas de política e moral cristã.

Trabalhar com teoria e metodologia em sala de aula pode se tornar um fardo tanto para o professor quanto para o aluno, se o docente não pensar as definições operacionais que visem à escola e ao entendimento do aluno, conforme a sua vivência e seu meio. Os conceitos devem ser trabalhados a partir de um acontecimento histórico que convide o aluno a reflexão: [...] ao fazer leituras a respeito dos presidentes chilenos do século XX, o aluno deverá ser capaz de efetuar nomeações a partir de dois conceitos: regimes democráticos e regimes autoritários. Ao fazer esse exercício teórico, ele vai entrar em contato com as diferentes possibilidades de interpretação, ou de construção, do fato histórico.

(SEFFNER, 2000:261.)

68Q895183 | Pedagogia, Lei nº 9394 de 1996, História, Prefeitura de São João Nepomuceno MG, Consulplan, 2024

[...] Passados 136 anos da abolição formal da escravidão no Brasil, ainda vivemos em uma sociedade na qual persistem e são repercutidas dinâmicas e relações sociais referenciadas numa perspectiva racial discriminatória, preconceituosa, eurocêntrica, hierarquizante e hierarquizada. É bem sabido entre nós brasileiros que o fato de milhares de indivíduos, no final do século XIX, terem deixado a condição de escravizados não significou, de maneira alguma, uma transformação profunda em suas condições básicas de vida. O contexto pós-abolição não fez emergir uma real inclusão social dos negros libertos nas principais esferas políticas, econômicas e culturais do país, ao passo que, paralelamente, se registrou uma inferiorização desse grupo dentro do modelo cultural e identitário que foi historicamente constituído e construído como hegemonicamente nacional pela ideologia (dita “civilizatória”) do embranquecimento social.

(SCHWARCZ, 1993.)

O primeiro grande marco a nível nacional para uma mudança nas perspectivas do ensino ligado à diversidade étnico-racial no Brasil foi a publicação da Lei nº 10.639/2003, que concretizou alterações na Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional, Lei nº 9.394/1996, estabelecendo, entre outras medidas:

69Q895184 | História, Processo de Independência e Movimentos Nativistas, História, Prefeitura de São João Nepomuceno MG, Consulplan, 2024

O antilusitanismo converteu-se no discurso da nacionalidade levado ao extremo; no nativismo exacerbado, que irmanava toda a classe de homens em um único sentimento compartilhado, resumido à derrubada do imperador. Mas não se pode simplificar a análise da situação. É preciso compreender os conflitos antilusitanos não apenas como disputas de nacionalidades, mas como rixas e divergências com conteúdo político bem mais amplo. Elas traziam em si, por um lado, propostas e ideias de liberdade e participação ativa; por outro, questões relacionadas ao mercado de trabalho setorizado, segmentado e hierarquizado.

Como a nossa sociedade sofre um ritmo intenso de modificações, a escola e o ensino de história em especial têm de acompanhar esse processo sob pena de transmitir conhecimentos já ultrapassados. Para isso, deve incorporar os temas e as inovações tecnológicas com que os alunos já lidam no seu cotidiano. Constitui-se, hoje, para os educadores do ensino fundamental e médio, um desafio muito grande ensinar alunos que têm contato cada vez maior com os meios de comunicação e sofrem a influência da televisão, rádio, jornal, videogames[...], computador, redes de informações etc. Discutir a respeito da utilização das Novas Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação(TICs) no ensino de história não chega a ser uma novidade.

O primeiro traço a destacar-se, no estudo do caso brasileiro, é o da origem colonial. É preciso distinguir, ainda, no amplo quadro da origem colonial (que abrange todos os continentes, salvo a Europa) que, no caso do Brasil, trata-se, antes de mais nada, de uma “civilização” transplantada [...]. Os elementos destinados à empresa de “colonização”, isto é, de ocupação produtiva – no caso do Brasil – provém do exterior, são para aqui transplantados, tanto os senhores – os que exploram o trabalho alheio – quanto os trabalhadores – os escravizados.

( ) The word “opportunity” is cognate, which means it is similar to Portuguese and has the same meaning in English.

( ) The word “improve” is cognate and the word “improbable” is one of its synonyms.

( ) The word “modernize” is a cognate word. It could be substituted by the word “update”.

( ) The word “country” is a false cognate. It seems to be a type of music, but it is actually referring to places far from the city.

Conclusions and Recommendations


Given the panorama of English instruction in Brazil, particularly in the states of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, and considering the results of the surveys conducted with universities and teachers in both states, some conclusions and recommendations could be drawn.

Nationally, English instruction has been gaining importance and visibility through curriculum reform and the new model of upper secondary school. It is an enormously significant achievement that, for the first time, English has become mandatory in all public and private schools from 6th grade onward. The BNCC offers clarity on the competencies and abilities that students should develop at each education level. However, if, on the one hand, making English compulsory was an important step, on the other hand, the implementation of this policy is still incomplete. The main issue is the limited amount of instructional time in English in the national curriculum guidelines. As the cases of Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais illustrate, the result is that students have insufficient exposure to the language, with only two classes per week in secondary schools and one class per week in upper secondary. Under these conditions, it is unlikely that learners will develop full proficiency in the language, and teachers will have the instructional time to focus on all the necessary competencies and abilities required by the BNCC.

Another important consideration is the link between initial training for English teachers and how it interacts with the routines and challenges of the classroom. There is room for improvement when considering the mismatch between the programs of study at universities and the pedagogical practice required of English teachers and strengthened ties and communication between State Education Departments and the teacher training programs at universities.

Universities face additional challenges, such as the low English proficiency of students in the initial training courses. Initial training institutions face difficulties in thoroughly preparing future teachers regarding language proficiency and the pedagogical elements related to being an effective teacher. In this sense, the situation can create a vicious cycle; students leave schools with a low proficiency level in English, and those who decide to take the initial training courses to become English teachers and enter universities cannot fully develop proficiency as pedagogical competencies. Therefore, they enter schools not fully prepared to be teachers and face all the challenges of a classroom.

Another critical challenge is class size and the heterogeneity of students’ ability levels, which could limit teachers’ ability to implement some pedagogical practices, such as working with practicing speaking. This is not only a challenge faced by English teachers, but all teachers and that policymakers need to keep in mind. In addition, teachers commonly work in more than one school at a time and sometimes teach other subjects to meet the required hours of instructional time stipulated in their contracts.

The surveys with teachers demonstrated that many have never participated in a professional development session specifically designed for English teachers. For those who have, not all considered the helpful training to improve their knowledge and practice. This points to the fact that more attention needs to be paid to the continuous training courses offered to English teachers. These training courses should be frequent and address specific challenges, taking into account the pedagogical issues and areas that English teachers identify as most critical.

Briefly, it is important to highlight the windows of opportunity that have been opened in Brazil with the BNCC and the new upper secondary model. Through their education ministries, state governments have made significant efforts to adapt their regional curricula to the competencies and abilities listed on the BNCC and implement the first pilots and designed pathways for upper secondary schools. It remains a question of how the rest of those two processes will be implemented, but there are positive signs that English may gain more importance at a national level. At least in Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, there is already a movement to increase the importance of the discipline.

While Minas Gerais has developed a few specific training courses for English teachers focused on improving their pedagogical knowledge through the program “Pathways for Educators” and intends to create a training pathway for upper secondary students focused in English, Mato Grosso has implemented English in all primary schools in the state and launched the program “More English,” with resources to help teachers and students. Those efforts are aligned with the national reforms and illustrate the political willingness of states to promote more actions to improve teachers’ and students’ proficiency in English.

In these states and, to some extent, at the national level, the foundations have been set to put English instruction in the spotlight as a crucial discipline to the integral development of students. However, much work and resources are still needed to realize this goal. Therefore, the following recommendations are intended to advise decision-makers at universities and State Education Departments.

Read the statements.

I. One of the aspects that impair the implementation of the new educational guidelines mentioned in the text is student’s lack of sufficient language exposure, which may lead to lower English proficiency.

II. The mismatch between the initial training of English teachers in universities and the pedagogical practices required in schools is not considered to be a key factor that jeopardizes students’ English proficiency.

III. It is clear in the text that teachers who have not fully developed English proficiency during their initial training courses may face challenges when it comes to pedagogical practices in the classroom.

IV. Students’ different levels of English proficiency is a crucial factor that could inhibit speaking activities in the classroom.

Under these conditions, it is unlikely that learners will develop full proficiency in the language, and teachers will have the instructional time to focus on all the necessary competencies and abilities required by the BNCC.

Another important consideration is the link between initial training for English teachers and how it interacts with the routines and challenges of the classroom. There is room for improvement when considering the mismatch between the programs of study at universities and the pedagogical practice required of English teachers and strengthened ties and communication between State Education Departments and the teacher training programs at universities.

Universities face additional challenges, such as the low English proficiency of students in the initial training courses. Initial training institutions face difficulties in thoroughly preparing future teachers regarding language proficiency and the pedagogical elements related to being an effective teacher. In this sense, the situation can create a vicious cycle; students leave schools with a low proficiency level in English, and those who decide to take the initial training courses to become English teachers and enter universities cannot fully develop proficiency as pedagogical competencies. Therefore, they enter schools not fully prepared to be teachers and face all the challenges of a classroom.

Another critical challenge is class size and the heterogeneity of students’ ability levels, which could limit teachers’ ability to implement some pedagogical practices, such as working with practicing speaking. This is not only a challenge faced by English teachers, but all teachers and that policymakers need to keep in mind. In addition, teachers commonly work in more than one school at a time and sometimes teach other subjects to meet the required hours of instructional time stipulated in their contracts.

The surveys with teachers demonstrated that many have never participated in a professional development session specifically designed for English teachers. For those who have, not all considered the helpful training to improve their knowledge and practice. This points to the fact that more attention needs to be paid to the continuous training courses offered to English teachers. These training courses should be frequent and address specific challenges, taking into account the pedagogical issues and areas that English teachers identify as most critical.

Briefly, it is important to highlight the windows of opportunity that have been opened in Brazil with the BNCC and the new upper secondary model. Through their education ministries, state governments have made significant efforts to adapt their regional curricula to the competencies and abilities listed on the BNCC and implement the first pilots and designed pathways for upper secondary schools. It remains a question of how the rest of those two processes will be implemented, but there are positive signs that English may gain more importance at a national level. At least in Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, there is already a movement to increase the importance of the discipline.

While Minas Gerais has developed a few specific training courses for English teachers focused on improving their pedagogical knowledge through the program “Pathways for Educators” and intends to create a training pathway for upper secondary students focused in English, Mato Grosso has implemented English in all primary schools in the state and launched the program “More English,” with resources to help teachers and students. Those efforts are aligned with the national reforms and illustrate the political willingness of states to promote more actions to improve teachers’ and students’ proficiency in English.

In these states and, to some extent, at the national level, the foundations have been set to put English instruction in the spotlight as a crucial discipline to the integral development of students. However, much work and resources are still needed to realize this goal. Therefore, the following recommendations are intended to advise decision-makers at universities and State Education Departments.

Conclusions and Recommendations


Given the panorama of English instruction in Brazil, particularly in the states of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, and considering the results of the surveys conducted with universities and teachers in both states, some conclusions and recommendations could be drawn.

Nationally, English instruction has been gaining importance and visibility through curriculum reform and the new model of upper secondary school. It is an enormously significant achievement that, for the first time, English has become mandatory in all public and private schools from 6th grade onward. The BNCC offers clarity on the competencies and abilities that students should develop at each education level. However, if, on the one hand, making English compulsory was an important step, on the other hand, the implementation of this policy is still incomplete. The main issue is the limited amount of instructional time in English in the national curriculum guidelines. As the cases of Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais illustrate, the result is that students have insufficient exposure to the language, with only two classes per week in secondary schools and one class per week in upper secondary. Under these conditions, it is unlikely that learners will develop full proficiency in the language, and teachers will have the instructional time to focus on all the necessary competencies and abilities required by the BNCC.

Another important consideration is the link between initial training for English teachers and how it interacts with the routines and challenges of the classroom. There is room for improvement when considering the mismatch between the programs of study at universities and the pedagogical practice required of English teachers and strengthened ties and communication between State Education Departments and the teacher training programs at universities.

Universities face additional challenges, such as the low English proficiency of students in the initial training courses. Initial training institutions face difficulties in thoroughly preparing future teachers regarding language proficiency and the pedagogical elements related to being an effective teacher. In this sense, the situation can create a vicious cycle; students leave schools with a low proficiency level in English, and those who decide to take the initial training courses to become English teachers and enter universities cannot fully develop proficiency as pedagogical competencies.
