Procede-se a discussões acerca das relações entre as histórias de vida e o desenvolvimento profissional docente. Com esse intento, em primeira instância, foi desenvolvida a análise epistemológica da literatura especializada no tocante aos aspectos teórico-metodológicos das duas categorias levantadas. Demais disto, em termos empíricos, foram analisadas as narrativas de uma professora da educação básica, produzidas em contexto de investigação de pós-graduação, seguindo os critérios éticos de pesquisas com seres humanos. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo consiste em compreender e analisar os aspectos de desenvolvimento profissional que há na narrativa (auto) biográfica de uma professora de História da educação básica. Metodologicamente, este trabalho ampara-se na abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa e no método (auto) biográfico, e traz como contribuições a reflexão acerca do desenvolvimento profissional com suporte em histórias de vida da professora, sinalizando os potenciais formativos e de pesquisa das (auto) biografias nas investigações educacionais. No mesmo sentido, evidencia um compromisso social com o tema e chama atenção para a proposição de outras investigações utilizando o aparato das histórias de vida e do método (auto) biográfico, para a discussão de outras categorias temáticas insertas no terreno da formação de professores.

This theoretical article examines the epistemological underpinnings of perceptual training in additional language phonetic-phonological learning. It investigates three central concepts from Direct Realism in Speech Perception—’affordances,’ ‘abilities,’ and ‘events’—and proposes a higher-order affordance, termed ‘speakability,’ that encompasses lower-order, constituent affordances such as gesturability and expressability. These lower-order affordances can be enhanced through laboratory-based training, thereby promoting the exercise of speakability. Based on the premise that human perceptual abilities can be improved through training (E. J. Gibson & Pick, 2000; Chemero, 2009; Gibson, 1966), our theoretical argument explores how additional language learners, whose perceptual systems are attuned to their primary language patterns, may benefit from training in detecting and calibrating new additional language-specific visual, acoustic, and kinesthetic information. This fine-tuning process supports the accurate perception of the target language. Given the reciprocal nature of the perception–action cycle—where perception guides action and action provides new perceptual information (E. J. Gibson & Pick, 2000)—, we argue that perceptual training is consistent with Direct Realist principles. Even when artificial or manipulated speech data are used in laboratories, the perception of characteristic additional language actions through screens or headphones still occurs directly and can guide learners in detecting and actualizing new affordances. We posit that learners’ relations with artificial speech data promote the perception of new affordances, thereby improving the execution of language-specific articulatory gestures.

This book examines how Performance or Outcomes Based Funding (POBF) policies impact racial equity in higher education. Over the last decade, higher education has become entrenched in a movement that h

This chapter reviews data from a qualitative interview study conducted with POBF advocates and critics from various organizations focused on higher education, campus leaders, and academic researchers. As more states move toward substantial POBF formulas, it is crucial to understand how these policies work to advantage or disadvantage our most vulnerable student populations. In this chapter, we explore higher education leaders’ insights and experiences with POBF, specifically targeting leaders who have been publicly vocal about the ways the policies have helped or inhibited equity.
