<p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Abstract: </span></strong>The formal school system has been deemed to be essential in helping build the necessary knowledge and attitudes needed to promote environmental literacy. However, in a reality regulated by inexact educational policies and strong socioeconomical inequalities, any attempt to empower those living in marginalized conditions to care for their environment-on both its natural and social dimensions-can be seriously compromised. The present ethnographic case study in a science classroom in a Brazilian public school describes and articulates how the use of media literacy-based instructional strategies can inform teachers and students' critical classroom practices towards ecologizing the performance of curricula.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: popular media literacy; ecoliteracy; environmental; and science education; ethnographic case study; discourse analysis; global emancipating citizenship.</p><p><strong>Resumo</strong>: O sistema de educação formal é considerado essencial para o desenvolvimento de uma alfabetização ecológica. Entretanto, em uma realidade regulada por políticas educacionais inexatas e fortes desigualdades sócio-econômicas, qualquer tentativa de incentivar aqueles vivendo na marginalidade para que cuidem do seu ambiente - seja ele natural ou social - está seriamentecomprometida. O presente estudo etnográfico de caso em uma sala de aula de ciências em uma escola pública no Brasil visa descrever e articular como o uso de estratégias baseadas em novas tecnologias de mídia pode facilitar as práticas pedagógicas de professores e alunos de modo a mediar uma implementação mais ecológica dos atuais currículos escolares.</p><p> </p>
The intent of this article is to understand the postgraduate model in education adopted in Brazil and Canada with the purpose of analyzing the similarities and differences of the evaluation criteria adopted in these different contexts. The method used is a comparative analysis and uses document analysis as a research technique, referencing the main documents that outline standards of the postgraduate in both countries. The documents were classified under the following categories: program structure and governance, evaluation of faculty and students, intellectual production/dissemination and social engagement. In general, Brazilian and Canadian postgraduate studies are aligned with shifts in academic culture that are reflected in the performance and evaluation of academic activities. Differences surface in areas related to autonomy and the balance between quantitative and qualitative criteria, which are more evident in Canada. The study emphasizes the need for a thorough analysis of the challenges experienced by and the perspectives of the graduate students in the contexts investigated, especially with regard to social engagement and research practice, given the demand for publication, in the Brazilian context and its potential to compromise social engagement. Le études de troisième cycle en éducation au Brésil et au Canada: approximations et distances dans les critères d'évaluation.Résumé: Cet article vise à comprendre le modèle études de troisième cycle en éducation adopté au Brésil et au Canada, dans le but d'analyser les approximations et les distances des critères d'évaluation présents dans ces différents contextes. La méthode utilisée se rapproche d'une analyse comparative et utilise l'analyse documentaire comme technique de recherche, prenant comme référence les principaux documents qui standardisent le troisième cycle dans les deux pays. Les documents ont été analysés à la lumière des catégories suivantes: organicité politique, évaluation des professeurs et des étudiants, production intellectuelle et insertion sociale. En général, les programmes de troisième cycle brésilien et canadien sont alignés sur le changement dans la culture académique qui est basé sur l'évaluation et la performativité des activités développées. La différence réside principalement dans l'aspect de l'autonomie et dans un meilleur équilibre entre les critères quantitatifs et qualitatifs, qui sont plus évidents au Canada. L'étude souligne la nécessité d'une analyse approfondie des défis et perspectives des étudiants diplômés dans les contextes étudiés, notamment en ce qui concerne l'engagement social et la pratique de la recherche qui, étant donné la demande de publication, notamment dans le cas brésilien, être compromis.
