Estudos sobre o Pensamento Pedagógico Brasileiro nos colocam diante de diferentes tendências pedagógicas que consolidaram o processo educativo no Brasil. Ao longo do tempo, tais tendências estiveram sob influência de acontecimentos diversos, advindos dos campos: econômico, social, cultural e educacional, que apontavam para outros arranjos pedagógicos. Sobre a Tendência Tradicional, é CORRETO afirmar que

I. tem bases filosóficas no Humanismo Tradicional e toma a Psicologia Inatista como referência.

II. tem Johann Friedrich Herbart como seu principal precursor.

III. surge, no Brasil, com o advento da República; seus precursores são Johann Friedrich Herbart e John Dewey.

IV. sua prática pedagógica é centrada na figura docente, tem nascedouro no catolicismo, foi implantada no Brasil pelos padres jesuítas.

V. sua prática pedagógica se caracteriza, sobretudo, pelo reconhecimento das experiências e vivências dos alunos, considerando seus conhecimentos prévios.

Comentários

• Fiz por eliminação. Visto que John Dwey é o pai da escola nova e a ensino tradicional foi advindo do jesuítas que vieram catequizar os filhos dos portugueses.

• Johann Friedrich Herbart Embora profundamente intelectualista, a pedagogia  tem como objetivo maior nem tanto o acúmulo de informações, mas a formação moral do estudante. Por considerar a criança um ser moldado intelectualmente e psiquicamente por forças externas, Herbart dá ênfase primordial ao conceito de instrução. Ela é o instrumento pelo qual se alcançam os objetivos da educação. “Para Herbart, só o ignorante comete erros”, diz a pedagoga Maria Nazaré. Tendência Tradicional

As tendências pedagógicas contribuem para a compreensão e orientação da prática educativa, considerando como critério a posição que cada tendência adota em relação às finalidades sociais da escola. Essas concepções foram organizadas em dois grandes grupos: a pedagogia liberal e a pedagogia progressista.

  Analise as diversas tendências pedagógicas e faça as devidas correspondências, considerando suas respectivas características.

I. Tendência liberal tradicional.

II. Tendência liberal renovada progressivista.

III. Tendência liberal renovada não-diretiva.

IV. Tendência liberal tecnicista.

V. Tendência progressista libertadora.

VI. Tendência progressista libertária.

VII. Tendência progressista crítico-social dos conteúdos.

( ) A principal função social da escola refere-se à apropriação do saber, uma vez que, ao garantir um ensino de qualidade, serve aos interesses populares e consolida o papel transformador da escola.

( ) O reconhecimento da autoridade do professor pressupõe uma atitude passiva e receptiva do estudante, especialmente no que se refere aos conhecimentos transmitidos como verdades absolutas.

( ) Considera que a educação escolar objetiva organizar o processo de aquisição de habilidades, atitudes e conhecimentos mediante técnicas específicas, com ênfase no uso de tecnologias educacionais.

( ) Privilegia métodos de ensino fundamentados em experiências e na solução de problemas, defendendo a premissa “aprender fazendo”, sendo papel da escola adequar as necessidades individuais ao meio social.

( ) A função da escola reside em promover uma educação que transforme a personalidade dos estudantes em um sentido libertário e autogestionário, sendo a autogestão conteúdo e método, cabendo ao professor o papel de orientador.

( ) Voltada para a formação de atitudes, enfatiza mais as questões psicológicas do que as pedagógicas ou sociais, sendo, portanto, centrada no estudante e no estabelecimento de um clima favorável a uma mudança no indivíduo.

Comentários

• Gente vamos rever o gabarito dessa questão?

  As versões libertadora e libertária têm em comum o antiautoritarismo, a valorização da
  experiência vívida como base da relação educativa e a idéia de autogestão pedagógica. Em
  função disso, dão mais valor ao processo de aprendizagem grupal (participação em discussões,
  assembléias, votações) do que aos conteúdos de ensino. Como decorrência, a prática educativa
  somente faz sentido numa prática social junto ao povo, razão pela qual preferem as modalidades
  de educação popular "não-formal".
   

  3.2 Tendência progressista libertária
  Papel da escola - A pedagogia libertária espera que a escola exerça uma transformação na
  personalidade dos alunos num sentido libertário e autogestionário. A idéia básica é introduzir
  modificações institucionais, a partir dos níveis subalternos que, em seguida, vão "contaminando"
  todo o sistema. A escola instituirá, com base na participação grupal, mecanismos institucionais de
  mudança (assembléias, conselhos, eleições, reuniões, associações etc.), de tal forma que o
  aluno, uma vez atuando nas instituições "externas", leve para lá tudo o que aprendeu. Outra forma
  de atuação da pedagogia libertária, correlata á primeira, é - aproveitando a margem de liberdade
  do sistema - criar grupos de pessoas com princípios educativos autogestionários (associações,
  grupos informais, escolas autogestionários). Há, portanto, um sentido expressamente político, à
  medida que se afirma o indivíduo como produto do social e que o desenvolvimento individual
  somente se realiza no coletivo. A autogestão é, assim, o conteúdo e o método; resume tanto o
  objetivo pedagógico quanto o político. A pedagogia libertária, na sua modalidade mais conhecida
  entre nós, a "pedagogia institucional", pretende ser uma forma de resistência contra a burocracia
  como instrumento da ação dominadora do Estado, que tudo controla (professores, programas,
  provas etc.), retirando a autonomia.
   

• 3.1 Tendência progressista libertadora
  Papel da escola - Não é próprio da pedagogia libertadora falar em ensino escolar, já que
  sua marca é a atuação "não-formal". Entretanto, professores e educadores engajados no ensino
  escolar vêm adotando pressupostos dessa pedagogia. Assim, quando se fala na educação em
  geral, diz-se que ela é uma atividade onde professores e alunos, mediatizados pela realidade que
  apreendem e da qual extraem o conteúdo de aprendizagem, atingem um nível de consciência
  dessa mesma realidade, a fim de nela atuarem, num sentido de transformação social. Tanto a
  educação tradicional, denominada "bancária" - que visa apenas depositar informações sobre o
  aluno -, quanto a educação renovada - que pretenderia uma libertação psicológica individual - são
  domesticadoras, pois em nada contribuem para desvelar a realidade social de opressão. A
  educação libertadora, ao contrário, questiona concretamente a realidade das relações do homem
  com a natureza e com os outros homens, visando a uma transformação - dai ser uma educação
  crítica.
  Conteúdos de ensino - Denominados “temas geradores", são extraídos da problematização
  da prática de vida dos educandos. Os conteúdos tradicionais são recusados porque cada pessoa,
  cada grupo envolvido na ação pedagógica dispõe em si próprio, ainda que de forma rudimentar,
  dos conteúdos necessários dos quais se parte. O importante não é a transmissão de conteúdos
  específicos, mas despertar uma nova forma da relação com a experiência vivida. A transmissão de
  conteúdos estruturados a partir de fora é considerada como "invasão cultural" ou “depósito de
  informação’’ porque não emerge do saber popular. Se forem necessários textos de leitura estes
  deverão ser redigidos pelos próprios educandos com a orientação do educador”.
  Em nenhum momento o inspirador e mentor da pedagogia libertador Paulo Freire, deixa de
  mencionar o caráter essencialmente político de sua pedagogia, o que, segundo suas próprias
  palavras, impede que ela seja posta em prática em termos sistemáticos, nas instituições oficiais,
  antes da transformação da sociedade. Daí porque sua atuação se dê mais a nível da educação
  extra-escolar. O que não tem impedido, por outro lado, que seus pressupostos sejam adotados e
  aplicados por numerosos professores

O Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio – ENEM – assume, atualmente, as seguintes funções avaliativas: a) avaliação sistêmica, ao subsidiar a formulação de políticas públicas; b) avaliação certificatória, ao aferir conhecimentos para aqueles que estavam fora da escola; c) avaliação classificatória, em relação ao acesso ao ensino superior, ao difundir-se como mecanismo de seleção entre as instituições de ensino superior, articulado agora, também, ao Sistema Unificado de Seleção (SISU). A edição 2016 atingiu mais de oito milhões de inscritos. Costumeiramente são produzidos Relatórios Pedagógicos pelo INEP, após a diagnose dos resultados individuais e globais. Tais documentos revelam os perfis socioeconômicos dos inscritos, além de trazer significativas informações sobre as culturas e as práticas curriculares que regulam e ambientam essa oferta de ensino. Diante do exposto, é correto AFIRMAR que: 

I. os indicadores apontados nos Relatórios Pedagógicos oferecem relevantes subsídios para a reformulação do Ensino Médio no Brasil.

II. o processo avaliativo demandado pelo exame auxilia as ações de estudantes, pais/mães, professores, pesquisadores, gestores e dirigentes das instituições escolares envolvidas nesse processo, oferecendo subsídios à (re)elaboração do Projeto Político Pedagógico, bem como outras ações de planejamento da instituição escolar.

III. a avaliação sistêmica, demandada pelo exame, deverá propiciar a criação de um ranking para divulgar a qualidade de ensino das instituições que lecionam Ensino Médio no Brasil.

IV. o referido processo avaliativo fomenta reflexões acerca das políticas e práticas curriculares que envolvem o Ensino Médio no Brasil, além de oferecer condições para a autoavaliação dos envolvidos no processo de ensino e de aprendizagem.

V. o referido processo avaliativo atenderá, sobretudo, a sua função precípua que é promover a seleção para o ingresso no Ensino Superior, principalmente nas instituições públicas.

D. Sara reside e trabalha na periferia da região metropolitana de Recife e tem dois filhos. O mais velho terminou o Ensino Fundamental e necessita de uma vaga no Ensino Médio em uma escola pública e gratuita para dar continuidade aos estudos. Depois de percorrer várias escolas no bairro onde mora e em outros bairros próximos, D. Sara não conseguiu vaga no Ensino Médio. Vendo o risco de seu filho ficar sem estudar, D. Sara foi orientada a buscar a garantia do direito social à educação junto ao Poder Público. Para tanto, utilizou como fundamento para sua exigência o que preconiza a Constituição Federal (CF), conforme segue. 

I. O atendimento à educação obrigatória, inclusive do Ensino Médio, é direito subjetivo, cabendo ao Poder Público a obrigatoriedade de ofertá-la para todos.

II. A Educação Básica é obrigatória e gratuita dos 4 (quatro) aos 17 (dezessete) anos, o que inclui, necessariamente, a oferta do Ensino Médio para todos os cidadãos.

III. A educação é direito de todos e dever do Estado e da família, mas a Lei prevê apenas a progressiva extensão da obrigatoriedade e gratuidade ao Ensino Médio.

IV. O não oferecimento ou a oferta irregular do Ensino Médio importam a responsabilização da autoridade competente, que é obrigada a providenciar o atendimento.

IV. O Ensino Médio, como etapa final da Educação Básica, prescinde da obrigatoriedade e da gratuidade, não havendo na Constituição Federal qualquer dispositivo que respalde sua oferta nesses termos.

TEXT 1  

WHY MILLENIALS WILL SAVE US ALL  

By Joel Stein

I am about to do what old people have done throughout history: call those younger than me lazy, entitled, selfish and shallow. But I have studies! I have statistics! I have quotes from respected academics! Unlike my parents, my grandparents and my great-grandparents, I have proof.

Here’s the code, hard data: the incident of narcissistic personality disorder in nearly three times as high for people in their 20s as for the generation that’s now 65 or older, according to the National Institutes of Health; 58% more college students scored higher on a narcissism scale in 2009 than in 1982. Millennials got so many participation trophies growing up that a recent study showed that 40% believe they should be promoted every two years, regardless of performance. They are fame obsessed: three times as many middle school girls want to grow up to be a personal assistant to a famous person as want to be a senator, according to a 2007 survey; four time as many would pick the assistant job over CEO of a major corporation. They’re so convinced of their own greatness that the National Study of Youth and Religion found the guiding morality of 60% of millennials in any situation as that they’ll just be able to feel what’s right. Their development is stunted: more people ages 18 to 29 live with their parents than with a spouse, according to the 2012 Clarck University Poll of Emerging Adults. And they are lazy. In 1992, the non-profit Families and Work Institute reported that 80% of people under 23 wanted to one day have a job with greater responsibility; 10 years later, only 60% did.

Millennials consist, depending on whom you ask, of people born from 1980 to 2000. To put it more simply for them, since they grew up not having to do a lot of math in their heads, thanks to computers, the group is made up mostly of teens and 20-somethings. At 80 million strong, they are the biggest age grouping in American history. Each country’s millennials are different, but because of globalization, social media, the export of Western culture and the speed of change, millennials worldwide are more similar to one another than to old generations within their nations. Even in China, where family history is more important than any individual, the internet, urbanization and the onechild policy have created a generation as overconfident and self-involved as the Western one. And these aren’t just rich-kid problems: poor millennials have even higher rates of narcissism, materialism and technology addiction in their ghetto-fabulous lives.

They are the most threatening and exciting generation since the baby boomers brought about social revolution, not because they’re trying to take over the Establishment but because they’re growing up without one. The Industrial Revolution made individuals far more powerful - they could move to a city, start a business, read and form organizations. The information revolution has further empowered individuals by handing them the technology to compete against huge organizations: hackers vs. corporations, bloggers vs. newspapers, terrorists vs. Nation-states, YouTube directors vs. studios, app-makers vs. entire industries. Millennials don’t need us. That’s why we’re scared of them.

In the U.S, millennials are the children of baby boomers, who are also known as the Me Generation, who then produced the Me Me Me Generation, whose selfishness technology has only exarcebated. Whereas in the 1950s families displayed a wedding photo, a school photo and maybe a military photo in their homes, the average middle-class American family today walks amid 85 pictures of themselves and their pets. Millennials have come of age in the era of the quantified self, recording their daily steps on FitBit, their whereabouts every hour of every day on PlaceMe and their genetic data on 23 and Me. They have less civic engagement and lower political participation than any previous group. This is a generation that would have made Walt Whitman wonder if maybe they should try singing a song of someone else.

They got this way partly because in the 1970s, people wanted to improve kids’ chances of success by instilling self-esteem. It turns out that self-esteem is great for getting a job or hooking up at a bar but not so great for keeping a job or a relationship. “It was an honest mistake,” says Roy Baumeister, a psychology professor at Florida State University and the editor of Self-Esteem: The puzzle of Low Self-Regard. “The early findings showed that, indeed, kids with high self-esteem did better in school and were less likely to be in various kinds of trouble. It’s just that we’ve learned latter that self-esteem is a result, not a cause.” The problem is that when people try to boost self-esteem, they accidentally boost narcissism instead. “Just tell your kids you love them. It’s a better message,” says Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, who wrote Generation Me and The Narcissism Epidemic. “When they’re little it seems cute to tell them they’re special or a princess or a rock star or whatever their T-shirt says. When they’re 14 it’s no longer cute.” All that self-esteem leads them to be disappointed when the world refuses to affirm how great they know they are. “This generation has the highest likelihood of having unmet expectations with respect to their careers and the lowest levels of satisfaction with their careers at the stage that they’re at,” says Sean Lyons, co-editor of Managing the New Workforce: International Perspectives on the Millennial Generation. “It is sort of a crisis of unmet expectations.”

What millennials are most famous for, besides narcissism is its effect: entitlement. If you want to sell seminars to middle managers, make them about how to deal with young employees who email the CEO directly and beg off projects they find boring. English teacher David McCullough Jr.’s address last year to Wellesley High School’s graduating class, a 12-minute reality check titled “You Are Not Special,” has nearly 2 million hits on YouTube. “Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you,” McCullough told the graduates. He says nearly all the response to the video has been positive, especially from millennials themselves; the video has 57 likes for every dislike. Though they’re cocky about their place in the world, millennials are also stunted, having prolonged a life stage between teenager and adult that this magazine once called twixters and will now use once again in an attempt to get that term to catch on. The idea of the teenager started in the 1920s; in 1910, only a tiny percentage of kids went to high school, so most people’s social interactions were with adults in their families or in the workplace. Now that cell phones allow kids to socialize at every hour – they send and receive an average of 88 texts a day, according to Pew – they’re living under the constant influence of their friends. “Peer pressure is anti-intellectual. It is anti-historical. It is anti-eloquence,” says Mark Bauerlein, an English professor at Emory, who wrote The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (or, Don’t Trust Anyone Under 30). “Never before in history have people been able to grow up and reach age 23 so dominated by peers. To develop intellectually you’ve got to relate to older people, older things: 17-year-olds never grow up if they’re just hanging around other 17-year-olds.” Of all the objections to Obamacare, not a lot of people argued against parents’ need to cover their kids’ health insurance until they’re 26.

Millennials are interacting all day but almost entirely through a screen. You’ve seen them at bars, sitting next to one another and texting. They might look calm, but they’re deeply anxious about missing out on something better. Seventy percent of them check their phones every hour, and many experience phantom pocket-vibration syndrome. “They’re doing a behavior to reduce their anxiety,” says Larry Rosen, a psychology professor at California State University at Dominguez Hills and the author of iDisorder. That constant search of a hit of dopamine (“Someone liked my status update!”) reduces creativity. From 1966, when the Torrance Tests of Creativity Thinking were first administered, through the mid-1980s, creativity scores in children increased. Then they dropped, falling sharply in 1998. Scores on tests of empathy similarly fell sharply, starting in 2000, likely because of both a lack to face-to-face time and higher degrees of narcissism. Not do only millennials lack the kind of empathy that allows them to feel concerned for others, but they also have trouble even intellectually understanding others’ points of view.

So, yes, we have all that data about narcissism and laziness and entitlement. But a generation’s greatness isn’t determined by data; it’s determined by how they react to the challenges that befall them. And, just as important, by how we react to them. Whether you think millennials are the new greatest generation of optimistic entrepreneurs or a group of 80 million people about to implode in a dwarf star of tears when their expectations are unmet depends largely on how you view change. Me, I choose to believe in the children. God knows they do.

The main communicative purpose of TEXT 1 is to

• A. present an alternative way of living to this new generation.
• B. announce the appearance of the ME ME ME Generation.
• C. inform that Millennials are the ME ME ME Generation.
• D. report on the greatness of the current generation.
• E. discuss the Millenials as a controversial and perhaps promising generation.

Gabarito: E

Comentários

• e-

  Despite casting scathing criticism at the way the millenials' generation is shaping up, the author shows glimpses of some untapped potential for them as they can more easily turn to perosnal undertakings without having to latch on to an established corporation e.g.: indie app developer as opposed to corporative cog, streaming media production rather than conventional entertainment etc. Another strand of criticism stems from this generation's inherent drawbacks, including lack of empathy and real human contact, unreal expectations and strong sense of dependency, something the author waives away at the end upon stating that "he has faith in the children". 

  Esse é o tipo de questão para se responder por último, apos se ter uma base sólida da ideia do texto. O autor apresenta os aspectos mais negativos da geração discutida enquanto compensa com pontos positivos e.g.: "The information revolution has further empowered individuals by handing them the technology to compete against huge organizations";  But a generation’s greatness isn’t determined by data; it’s determined by how they react to the challenges that befall them.

It turns out that self-esteem is great for getting a job or hooking up at a bar but not so great for keeping a job or a relationship. “It was an honest mistake,” says Roy Baumeister, a psychology professor at Florida State University and the editor of Self-Esteem: The puzzle of Low Self-Regard. “The early findings showed that, indeed, kids with high self-esteem did better in school and were less likely to be in various kinds of trouble. It’s just that we’ve learned latter that self-esteem is a result, not a cause.” The problem is that when people try to boost self-esteem, they accidentally boost narcissism instead. “Just tell your kids you love them. It’s a better message,” says Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, who wrote Generation Me and The Narcissism Epidemic. “When they’re little it seems cute to tell them they’re special or a princess or a rock star or whatever their T-shirt says. When they’re 14 it’s no longer cute.” All that self-esteem leads them to be disappointed when the world refuses to affirm how great they know they are. “This generation has the highest likelihood of having unmet expectations with respect to their careers and the lowest levels of satisfaction with their careers at the stage that they’re at,” says Sean Lyons, co-editor of Managing the New Workforce: International Perspectives on the Millennial Generation. “It is sort of a crisis of unmet expectations.”

What millennials are most famous for, besides narcissism is its effect: entitlement. If you want to sell seminars to middle managers, make them about how to deal with young employees who email the CEO directly and beg off projects they find boring. English teacher David McCullough Jr.’s address last year to Wellesley High School’s graduating class, a 12-minute reality check titled “You Are Not Special,” has nearly 2 million hits on YouTube. “Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you,” McCullough told the graduates. He says nearly all the response to the video has been positive, especially from millennials themselves; the video has 57 likes for every dislike. Though they’re cocky about their place in the world, millennials are also stunted, having prolonged a life stage between teenager and adult that this magazine once called twixters and will now use once again in an attempt to get that term to catch on. The idea of the teenager started in the 1920s; in 1910, only a tiny percentage of kids went to high school, so most people’s social interactions were with adults in their families or in the workplace. Now that cell phones allow kids to socialize at every hour – they send and receive an average of 88 texts a day, according to Pew – they’re living under the constant influence of their friends. “Peer pressure is anti-intellectual. It is anti-historical. It is anti-eloquence,” says Mark Bauerlein, an English professor at Emory, who wrote The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (or, Don’t Trust Anyone Under 30). “Never before in history have people been able to grow up and reach age 23 so dominated by peers. To develop intellectually you’ve got to relate to older people, older things: 17-year-olds never grow up if they’re just hanging around other 17-year-olds.” Of all the objections to Obamacare, not a lot of people argued against parents’ need to cover their kids’ health insurance until they’re 26.

Millennials are interacting all day but almost entirely through a screen. You’ve seen them at bars, sitting next to one another and texting. They might look calm, but they’re deeply anxious about missing out on something better. Seventy percent of them check their phones every hour, and many experience phantom pocket-vibration syndrome. “They’re doing a behavior to reduce their anxiety,” says Larry Rosen, a psychology professor at California State University at Dominguez Hills and the author of iDisorder. That constant search of a hit of dopamine (“Someone liked my status update!”) reduces creativity. From 1966, when the Torrance Tests of Creativity Thinking were first administered, through the mid-1980s, creativity scores in children increased. Then they dropped, falling sharply in 1998. Scores on tests of empathy similarly fell sharply, starting in 2000, likely because of both a lack to face-to-face time and higher degrees of narcissism. Not do only millennials lack the kind of empathy that allows them to feel concerned for others, but they also have trouble even intellectually understanding others’ points of view.

So, yes, we have all that data about narcissism and laziness and entitlement. But a generation’s greatness isn’t determined by data; it’s determined by how they react to the challenges that befall them. And, just as important, by how we react to them. Whether you think millennials are the new greatest generation of optimistic entrepreneurs or a group of 80 million people about to implode in a dwarf star of tears when their expectations are unmet depends largely on how you view change. Me, I choose to believe in the children. God knows they do.

WHY MILLENIALS WILL SAVE US ALL  

By Joel Stein

I am about to do what old people have done throughout history: call those younger than me lazy, entitled, selfish and shallow. But I have studies! I have statistics! I have quotes from respected academics! Unlike my parents, my grandparents and my great-grandparents, I have proof.

Here’s the code, hard data: the incident of narcissistic personality disorder in nearly three times as high for people in their 20s as for the generation that’s now 65 or older, according to the National Institutes of Health; 58% more college students scored higher on a narcissism scale in 2009 than in 1982. Millennials got so many participation trophies growing up that a recent study showed that 40% believe they should be promoted every two years, regardless of performance. They are fame obsessed: three times as many middle school girls want to grow up to be a personal assistant to a famous person as want to be a senator, according to a 2007 survey; four time as many would pick the assistant job over CEO of a major corporation. They’re so convinced of their own greatness that the National Study of Youth and Religion found the guiding morality of 60% of millennials in any situation as that they’ll just be able to feel what’s right. Their development is stunted: more people ages 18 to 29 live with their parents than with a spouse, according to the 2012 Clarck University Poll of Emerging Adults. And they are lazy. In 1992, the non-profit Families and Work Institute reported that 80% of people under 23 wanted to one day have a job with greater responsibility; 10 years later, only 60% did.

Millennials consist, depending on whom you ask, of people born from 1980 to 2000. To put it more simply for them, since they grew up not having to do a lot of math in their heads, thanks to computers, the group is made up mostly of teens and 20-somethings. At 80 million strong, they are the biggest age grouping in American history. Each country’s millennials are different, but because of globalization, social media, the export of Western culture and the speed of change, millennials worldwide are more similar to one another than to old generations within their nations. Even in China, where family history is more important than any individual, the internet, urbanization and the onechild policy have created a generation as overconfident and self-involved as the Western one. And these aren’t just rich-kid problems: poor millennials have even higher rates of narcissism, materialism and technology addiction in their ghetto-fabulous lives.

They are the most threatening and exciting generation since the baby boomers brought about social revolution, not because they’re trying to take over the Establishment but because they’re growing up without one. The Industrial Revolution made individuals far more powerful - they could move to a city, start a business, read and form organizations. The information revolution has further empowered individuals by handing them the technology to compete against huge organizations: hackers vs. corporations, bloggers vs. newspapers, terrorists vs. Nation-states, YouTube directors vs. studios, app-makers vs. entire industries. Millennials don’t need us. That’s why we’re scared of them.

In the U.S, millennials are the children of baby boomers, who are also known as the Me Generation, who then produced the Me Me Me Generation, whose selfishness technology has only exarcebated. Whereas in the 1950s families displayed a wedding photo, a school photo and maybe a military photo in their homes, the average middle-class American family today walks amid 85 pictures of themselves and their pets. Millennials have come of age in the era of the quantified self, recording their daily steps on FitBit, their whereabouts every hour of every day on PlaceMe and their genetic data on 23 and Me. They have less civic engagement and lower political participation than any previous group. This is a generation that would have made Walt Whitman wonder if maybe they should try singing a song of someone else.

They got this way partly because in the 1970s, people wanted to improve kids’ chances of success by instilling self-esteem. It turns out that self-esteem is great for getting a job or hooking up at a bar but not so great for keeping a job or a relationship. “It was an honest mistake,” says Roy Baumeister, a psychology professor at Florida State University and the editor of Self-Esteem: The puzzle of Low Self-Regard. “The early findings showed that, indeed, kids with high self-esteem did better in school and were less likely to be in various kinds of trouble.

English teacher David McCullough Jr.’s address last year to Wellesley High School’s graduating class, a 12-minute reality check titled “You Are Not Special,” has nearly 2 million hits on YouTube. “Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you,” McCullough told the graduates. He says nearly all the response to the video has been positive, especially from millennials themselves; the video has 57 likes for every dislike. Though they’re cocky about their place in the world, millennials are also stunted, having prolonged a life stage between teenager and adult that this magazine once called twixters and will now use once again in an attempt to get that term to catch on. The idea of the teenager started in the 1920s; in 1910, only a tiny percentage of kids went to high school, so most people’s social interactions were with adults in their families or in the workplace. Now that cell phones allow kids to socialize at every hour – they send and receive an average of 88 texts a day, according to Pew – they’re living under the constant influence of their friends. “Peer pressure is anti-intellectual. It is anti-historical. It is anti-eloquence,” says Mark Bauerlein, an English professor at Emory, who wrote The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (or, Don’t Trust Anyone Under 30). “Never before in history have people been able to grow up and reach age 23 so dominated by peers. To develop intellectually you’ve got to relate to older people, older things: 17-year-olds never grow up if they’re just hanging around other 17-year-olds.” Of all the objections to Obamacare, not a lot of people argued against parents’ need to cover their kids’ health insurance until they’re 26.

Millennials are interacting all day but almost entirely through a screen. You’ve seen them at bars, sitting next to one another and texting. They might look calm, but they’re deeply anxious about missing out on something better. Seventy percent of them check their phones every hour, and many experience phantom pocket-vibration syndrome. “They’re doing a behavior to reduce their anxiety,” says Larry Rosen, a psychology professor at California State University at Dominguez Hills and the author of iDisorder. That constant search of a hit of dopamine (“Someone liked my status update!”) reduces creativity. From 1966, when the Torrance Tests of Creativity Thinking were first administered, through the mid-1980s, creativity scores in children increased. Then they dropped, falling sharply in 1998. Scores on tests of empathy similarly fell sharply, starting in 2000, likely because of both a lack to face-to-face time and higher degrees of narcissism. Not do only millennials lack the kind of empathy that allows them to feel concerned for others, but they also have trouble even intellectually understanding others’ points of view.

So, yes, we have all that data about narcissism and laziness and entitlement. But a generation’s greatness isn’t determined by data; it’s determined by how they react to the challenges that befall them. And, just as important, by how we react to them. Whether you think millennials are the new greatest generation of optimistic entrepreneurs or a group of 80 million people about to implode in a dwarf star of tears when their expectations are unmet depends largely on how you view change. Me, I choose to believe in the children. God knows they do.

WHY MILLENIALS WILL SAVE US ALL  

By Joel Stein

I am about to do what old people have done throughout history: call those younger than me lazy, entitled, selfish and shallow. But I have studies! I have statistics! I have quotes from respected academics! Unlike my parents, my grandparents and my great-grandparents, I have proof.

Here’s the code, hard data: the incident of narcissistic personality disorder in nearly three times as high for people in their 20s as for the generation that’s now 65 or older, according to the National Institutes of Health; 58% more college students scored higher on a narcissism scale in 2009 than in 1982. Millennials got so many participation trophies growing up that a recent study showed that 40% believe they should be promoted every two years, regardless of performance. They are fame obsessed: three times as many middle school girls want to grow up to be a personal assistant to a famous person as want to be a senator, according to a 2007 survey; four time as many would pick the assistant job over CEO of a major corporation. They’re so convinced of their own greatness that the National Study of Youth and Religion found the guiding morality of 60% of millennials in any situation as that they’ll just be able to feel what’s right. Their development is stunted: more people ages 18 to 29 live with their parents than with a spouse, according to the 2012 Clarck University Poll of Emerging Adults. And they are lazy. In 1992, the non-profit Families and Work Institute reported that 80% of people under 23 wanted to one day have a job with greater responsibility; 10 years later, only 60% did.

Millennials consist, depending on whom you ask, of people born from 1980 to 2000. To put it more simply for them, since they grew up not having to do a lot of math in their heads, thanks to computers, the group is made up mostly of teens and 20-somethings. At 80 million strong, they are the biggest age grouping in American history. Each country’s millennials are different, but because of globalization, social media, the export of Western culture and the speed of change, millennials worldwide are more similar to one another than to old generations within their nations. Even in China, where family history is more important than any individual, the internet, urbanization and the onechild policy have created a generation as overconfident and self-involved as the Western one. And these aren’t just rich-kid problems: poor millennials have even higher rates of narcissism, materialism and technology addiction in their ghetto-fabulous lives.

They are the most threatening and exciting generation since the baby boomers brought about social revolution, not because they’re trying to take over the Establishment but because they’re growing up without one. The Industrial Revolution made individuals far more powerful - they could move to a city, start a business, read and form organizations. The information revolution has further empowered individuals by handing them the technology to compete against huge organizations: hackers vs. corporations, bloggers vs. newspapers, terrorists vs. Nation-states, YouTube directors vs. studios, app-makers vs. entire industries. Millennials don’t need us. That’s why we’re scared of them.

In the U.S, millennials are the children of baby boomers, who are also known as the Me Generation, who then produced the Me Me Me Generation, whose selfishness technology has only exarcebated. Whereas in the 1950s families displayed a wedding photo, a school photo and maybe a military photo in their homes, the average middle-class American family today walks amid 85 pictures of themselves and their pets. Millennials have come of age in the era of the quantified self, recording their daily steps on FitBit, their whereabouts every hour of every day on PlaceMe and their genetic data on 23 and Me. They have less civic engagement and lower political participation than any previous group. This is a generation that would have made Walt Whitman wonder if maybe they should try singing a song of someone else.

They got this way partly because in the 1970s, people wanted to improve kids’ chances of success by instilling self-esteem. It turns out that self-esteem is great for getting a job or hooking up at a bar but not so great for keeping a job or a relationship. “It was an honest mistake,” says Roy Baumeister, a psychology professor at Florida State University and the editor of Self-Esteem: The puzzle of Low Self-Regard. “The early findings showed that, indeed, kids with high self-esteem did better in school and were less likely to be in various kinds of trouble. It’s just that we’ve learned latter that self-esteem is a result, not a cause.” The problem is that when people try to boost self-esteem, they accidentally boost narcissism instead. “Just tell your kids you love them. It’s a better message,” says Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, who wrote Generation Me and The Narcissism Epidemic. “When they’re little it seems cute to tell them they’re special or a princess or a rock star or whatever their T-shirt says. When they’re 14 it’s no longer cute.” All that self-esteem leads them to be disappointed when the world refuses to affirm how great they know they are. “This generation has the highest likelihood of having unmet expectations with respect to their careers and the lowest levels of satisfaction with their careers at the stage that they’re at,” says Sean Lyons, co-editor of Managing the New Workforce: International Perspectives on the Millennial Generation. “It is sort of a crisis of unmet expectations.”

What millennials are most famous for, besides narcissism is its effect: entitlement. If you want to sell seminars to middle managers, make them about how to deal with young employees who email the CEO directly and beg off projects they find boring. English teacher David McCullough Jr.’s address last year to Wellesley High School’s graduating class, a 12-minute reality check titled “You Are Not Special,” has nearly 2 million hits on YouTube. “Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you,” McCullough told the graduates.

The phrasal verb hooking up in the sentence “It turns out that self-esteem is great for getting a job or hooking up at a bar but not so great for keeping a job or a relationship.” (paragraph 6) is most adequately substituted by  

• A. talking loudly.
• B. meeting people.
• C. getting a bit merry.
• D. enjoying themselves.
• E. being scandalous.

Gabarito: B

Comentários

• b-

  Hooking up at a bar means just that- to socialise with the attending demographics and try to find some common ground for interaction.

  hooking up (neste contexto) significa socializar, correspondendo ao sentido da opção "meeting people"

  obs.:

  getting a bit merry (lol)

• A questão cobra o conhecimento de phrasal verbs: verbos que vêm acompanhados por preposições ou advérbios, que podem modificar completamente o sentido do verbo original.

  Exemplo: give up = desistir, sendo que o verbo give significa dar.

  Analisando a questão:

  O verbo frasal hooking up na frase "Acontece que a auto-estima é ótima para conseguir um emprego ou socializar em um bar, mas não tão boa para manter um emprego ou um relacionamento." (parágrafo 6) é mais adequadamente substituído por

  Pelo contexto da frase, podemos inferir que hooking up, nesse caso significa socializar, interagir, mas pode ter outros significados como ligar, ou dormir com alguém.

  A) Incorreta - falar alto.

  B) Correta - conhecer pessoas.

  C) Incorreta - ficar um pouco feliz.

  D) Incorreta - se divertir

  E) Incorreta - ser escandaloso.

  Entitlement significa se achar no direito de exigir coisas sem se esforçar o suficiente para consegui-las. Pluck & grit sao associados com 'coragem'. Responsibility & self-confidence não se adequam ao contexto.

WHY MILLENIALS WILL SAVE US ALL  

By Joel Stein

I am about to do what old people have done throughout history: call those younger than me lazy, entitled, selfish and shallow. But I have studies! I have statistics! I have quotes from respected academics! Unlike my parents, my grandparents and my great-grandparents, I have proof.

Here’s the code, hard data: the incident of narcissistic personality disorder in nearly three times as high for people in their 20s as for the generation that’s now 65 or older, according to the National Institutes of Health; 58% more college students scored higher on a narcissism scale in 2009 than in 1982. Millennials got so many participation trophies growing up that a recent study showed that 40% believe they should be promoted every two years, regardless of performance. They are fame obsessed: three times as many middle school girls want to grow up to be a personal assistant to a famous person as want to be a senator, according to a 2007 survey; four time as many would pick the assistant job over CEO of a major corporation. They’re so convinced of their own greatness that the National Study of Youth and Religion found the guiding morality of 60% of millennials in any situation as that they’ll just be able to feel what’s right. Their development is stunted: more people ages 18 to 29 live with their parents than with a spouse, according to the 2012 Clarck University Poll of Emerging Adults. And they are lazy. In 1992, the non-profit Families and Work Institute reported that 80% of people under 23 wanted to one day have a job with greater responsibility; 10 years later, only 60% did.

Millennials consist, depending on whom you ask, of people born from 1980 to 2000. To put it more simply for them, since they grew up not having to do a lot of math in their heads, thanks to computers, the group is made up mostly of teens and 20-somethings. At 80 million strong, they are the biggest age grouping in American history. Each country’s millennials are different, but because of globalization, social media, the export of Western culture and the speed of change, millennials worldwide are more similar to one another than to old generations within their nations. Even in China, where family history is more important than any individual, the internet, urbanization and the onechild policy have created a generation as overconfident and self-involved as the Western one. And these aren’t just rich-kid problems: poor millennials have even higher rates of narcissism, materialism and technology addiction in their ghetto-fabulous lives.

They are the most threatening and exciting generation since the baby boomers brought about social revolution, not because they’re trying to take over the Establishment but because they’re growing up without one. The Industrial Revolution made individuals far more powerful - they could move to a city, start a business, read and form organizations. The information revolution has further empowered individuals by handing them the technology to compete against huge organizations: hackers vs. corporations, bloggers vs. newspapers, terrorists vs. Nation-states, YouTube directors vs. studios, app-makers vs. entire industries. Millennials don’t need us. That’s why we’re scared of them.

In the U.S, millennials are the children of baby boomers, who are also known as the Me Generation, who then produced the Me Me Me Generation, whose selfishness technology has only exarcebated. Whereas in the 1950s families displayed a wedding photo, a school photo and maybe a military photo in their homes, the average middle-class American family today walks amid 85 pictures of themselves and their pets. Millennials have come of age in the era of the quantified self, recording their daily steps on FitBit, their whereabouts every hour of every day on PlaceMe and their genetic data on 23 and Me. They have less civic engagement and lower political participation than any previous group. This is a generation that would have made Walt Whitman wonder if maybe they should try singing a song of someone else.

They got this way partly because in the 1970s, people wanted to improve kids’ chances of success by instilling self-esteem. It turns out that self-esteem is great for getting a job or hooking up at a bar but not so great for keeping a job or a relationship. “It was an honest mistake,” says Roy Baumeister, a psychology professor at Florida State University and the editor of Self-Esteem: The puzzle of Low Self-Regard. “The early findings showed that, indeed, kids with high self-esteem did better in school and were less likely to be in various kinds of trouble. It’s just that we’ve learned latter that self-esteem is a result, not a cause.” The problem is that when people try to boost self-esteem, they accidentally boost narcissism instead. “Just tell your kids you love them. It’s a better message,” says Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, who wrote Generation Me and The Narcissism Epidemic. “When they’re little it seems cute to tell them they’re special or a princess or a rock star or whatever their T-shirt says. When they’re 14 it’s no longer cute.” All that self-esteem leads them to be disappointed when the world refuses to affirm how great they know they are. “This generation has the highest likelihood of having unmet expectations with respect to their careers and the lowest levels of satisfaction with their careers at the stage that they’re at,” says Sean Lyons, co-editor of Managing the New Workforce: International Perspectives on the Millennial Generation. “It is sort of a crisis of unmet expectations.”

What millennials are most famous for, besides narcissism is its effect: entitlement. If you want to sell seminars to middle managers, make them about how to deal with young employees who email the CEO directly and beg off projects they find boring. English teacher David McCullough Jr.’s address last year to Wellesley High School’s graduating class, a 12-minute reality check titled “You Are Not Special,” has nearly 2 million hits on YouTube. “Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you,” McCullough told the graduates. He says nearly all the response to the video has been positive, especially from millennials themselves; the video has 57 likes for every dislike. Though they’re cocky about their place in the world, millennials are also stunted, having prolonged a life stage between teenager and adult that this magazine once called twixters and will now use once again in an attempt to get that term to catch on. The idea of the teenager started in the 1920s; in 1910, only a tiny percentage of kids went to high school, so most people’s social interactions were with adults in their families or in the workplace. Now that cell phones allow kids to socialize at every hour – they send and receive an average of 88 texts a day, according to Pew – they’re living under the constant influence of their friends. “Peer pressure is anti-intellectual. It is anti-historical. It is anti-eloquence,” says Mark Bauerlein, an English professor at Emory, who wrote The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (or, Don’t Trust Anyone Under 30). “Never before in history have people been able to grow up and reach age 23 so dominated by peers. To develop intellectually you’ve got to relate to older people, older things: 17-year-olds never grow up if they’re just hanging around other 17-year-olds.” Of all the objections to Obamacare, not a lot of people argued against parents’ need to cover their kids’ health insurance until they’re 26.

Millennials are interacting all day but almost entirely through a screen. You’ve seen them at bars, sitting next to one another and texting. They might look calm, but they’re deeply anxious about missing out on something better.

In the sentence “Never before in history have people been able to grow up and reach age 23 so dominated by peers.” (paragraph 8), there is an example of inversion. About this particular use, it is correct to say that inversion is

I. used when the speaker/writer wishes to emphasize the negative element of the sentence.

II. not usually used for rhetorical effect, such as in political speeches.

III. relatively common in everyday usage.

IV. when the position of the subject and the verb are inverted in a negative sentence.

V. most commonly used with present perfect or past perfect.

The only correct alternatives are:

• A. I, IV and V.

  INversion is a literary technique used for stressing out some passage by swapping the order of the subject and main verb. This is usually emplyed as a literary device, being rather uncommon in everyday speech. Inversion is also called anastrophe and is also used when placing an adjective ahead of the noun it modifies and a noun before its preposition. 

  Inversion ou anastrophe é inverter a ordem do sujeito e verbo em afirmações em vez de fazê-lo somente em questões. É usado para efeito literário e é considerado formal pelo uso convencional da lingua. 

  Palavras/expressões que atraem anastrophe:

  Hardly    
  Never    
  Seldom    
  Rarely    
  Only then
  Not only ... but
  No sooner    
  Scarcely    
  Only later

WHY MILLENIALS WILL SAVE US ALL  

By Joel Stein

I am about to do what old people have done throughout history: call those younger than me lazy, entitled, selfish and shallow. But I have studies! I have statistics! I have quotes from respected academics! Unlike my parents, my grandparents and my great-grandparents, I have proof.

Here’s the code, hard data: the incident of narcissistic personality disorder in nearly three times as high for people in their 20s as for the generation that’s now 65 or older, according to the National Institutes of Health; 58% more college students scored higher on a narcissism scale in 2009 than in 1982. Millennials got so many participation trophies growing up that a recent study showed that 40% believe they should be promoted every two years, regardless of performance. They are fame obsessed: three times as many middle school girls want to grow up to be a personal assistant to a famous person as want to be a senator, according to a 2007 survey; four time as many would pick the assistant job over CEO of a major corporation. They’re so convinced of their own greatness that the National Study of Youth and Religion found the guiding morality of 60% of millennials in any situation as that they’ll just be able to feel what’s right. Their development is stunted: more people ages 18 to 29 live with their parents than with a spouse, according to the 2012 Clarck University Poll of Emerging Adults. And they are lazy. In 1992, the non-profit Families and Work Institute reported that 80% of people under 23 wanted to one day have a job with greater responsibility; 10 years later, only 60% did.

Millennials consist, depending on whom you ask, of people born from 1980 to 2000. To put it more simply for them, since they grew up not having to do a lot of math in their heads, thanks to computers, the group is made up mostly of teens and 20-somethings. At 80 million strong, they are the biggest age grouping in American history. Each country’s millennials are different, but because of globalization, social media, the export of Western culture and the speed of change, millennials worldwide are more similar to one another than to old generations within their nations. Even in China, where family history is more important than any individual, the internet, urbanization and the onechild policy have created a generation as overconfident and self-involved as the Western one. And these aren’t just rich-kid problems: poor millennials have even higher rates of narcissism, materialism and technology addiction in their ghetto-fabulous lives.

They are the most threatening and exciting generation since the baby boomers brought about social revolution, not because they’re trying to take over the Establishment but because they’re growing up without one. The Industrial Revolution made individuals far more powerful - they could move to a city, start a business, read and form organizations. The information revolution has further empowered individuals by handing them the technology to compete against huge organizations: hackers vs. corporations, bloggers vs. newspapers, terrorists vs. Nation-states, YouTube directors vs. studios, app-makers vs. entire industries. Millennials don’t need us. That’s why we’re scared of them.

In the U.S, millennials are the children of baby boomers, who are also known as the Me Generation, who then produced the Me Me Me Generation, whose selfishness technology has only exarcebated. Whereas in the 1950s families displayed a wedding photo, a school photo and maybe a military photo in their homes, the average middle-class American family today walks amid 85 pictures of themselves and their pets. Millennials have come of age in the era of the quantified self, recording their daily steps on FitBit, their whereabouts every hour of every day on PlaceMe and their genetic data on 23 and Me. They have less civic engagement and lower political participation than any previous group. This is a generation that would have made Walt Whitman wonder if maybe they should try singing a song of someone else.

They got this way partly because in the 1970s, people wanted to improve kids’ chances of success by instilling self-esteem. It turns out that self-esteem is great for getting a job or hooking up at a bar but not so great for keeping a job or a relationship. “It was an honest mistake,” says Roy Baumeister, a psychology professor at Florida State University and the editor of Self-Esteem: The puzzle of Low Self-Regard. “The early findings showed that, indeed, kids with high self-esteem did better in school and were less likely to be in various kinds of trouble. It’s just that we’ve learned latter that self-esteem is a result, not a cause.” The problem is that when people try to boost self-esteem, they accidentally boost narcissism instead. “Just tell your kids you love them. It’s a better message,” says Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, who wrote Generation Me and The Narcissism Epidemic. “When they’re little it seems cute to tell them they’re special or a princess or a rock star or whatever their T-shirt says. When they’re 14 it’s no longer cute.” All that self-esteem leads them to be disappointed when the world refuses to affirm how great they know they are. “This generation has the highest likelihood of having unmet expectations with respect to their careers and the lowest levels of satisfaction with their careers at the stage that they’re at,” says Sean Lyons, co-editor of Managing the New Workforce: International Perspectives on the Millennial Generation. “It is sort of a crisis of unmet expectations.”

What millennials are most famous for, besides narcissism is its effect: entitlement. If you want to sell seminars to middle managers, make them about how to deal with young employees who email the CEO directly and beg off projects they find boring. English teacher David McCullough Jr.’s address last year to Wellesley High School’s graduating class, a 12-minute reality check titled “You Are Not Special,” has nearly 2 million hits on YouTube. “Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you,” McCullough told the graduates. He says nearly all the response to the video has been positive, especially from millennials themselves; the video has 57 likes for every dislike. Though they’re cocky about their place in the world, millennials are also stunted, having prolonged a life stage between teenager and adult that this magazine once called twixters and will now use once again in an attempt to get that term to catch on. The idea of the teenager started in the 1920s; in 1910, only a tiny percentage of kids went to high school, so most people’s social interactions were with adults in their families or in the workplace. Now that cell phones allow kids to socialize at every hour – they send and receive an average of 88 texts a day, according to Pew – they’re living under the constant influence of their friends. “Peer pressure is anti-intellectual. It is anti-historical. It is anti-eloquence,” says Mark Bauerlein, an English professor at Emory, who wrote The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (or, Don’t Trust Anyone Under 30). “Never before in history have people been able to grow up and reach age 23 so dominated by peers. To develop intellectually you’ve got to relate to older people, older things: 17-year-olds never grow up if they’re just hanging around other 17-year-olds.” Of all the objections to Obamacare, not a lot of people argued against parents’ need to cover their kids’ health insurance until they’re 26.

Millennials are interacting all day but almost entirely through a screen. You’ve seen them at bars, sitting next to one another and texting. They might look calm, but they’re deeply anxious about missing out on something better. Seventy percent of them check their phones every hour, and many experience phantom pocket-vibration syndrome. “They’re doing a behavior to reduce their anxiety,” says Larry Rosen, a psychology professor at California State University at Dominguez Hills and the author of iDisorder. That constant search of a hit of dopamine (“Someone liked my status update!”) reduces creativity. From 1966, when the Torrance Tests of Creativity Thinking were first administered, through the mid-1980s, creativity scores in children increased. Then they dropped, falling sharply in 1998. Scores on tests of empathy similarly fell sharply, starting in 2000, likely because of both a lack to face-to-face time and higher degrees of narcissism. Not do only millennials lack the kind of empathy that allows them to feel concerned for others, but they also have trouble even intellectually understanding others’ points of view.

So, yes, we have all that data about narcissism and laziness and entitlement. But a generation’s greatness isn’t determined by data; it’s determined by how they react to the challenges that befall them. And, just as important, by how we react to them. Whether you think millennials are the new greatest generation of optimistic entrepreneurs or a group of 80 million people about to implode in a dwarf star of tears when their expectations are unmet depends largely on how you view change. Me, I choose to believe in the children. God knows they do.

  “(…) Clark University Poll of Emerging adults - adjective. ing- é um adjetivo quando o sufixo é adicionado a um verbo. e.g.: walking stick, standing wall, working computer etc.

  “Whereas in the 1950s families displayed a wedding photo - wedding é um substantivo. outros casos: housing, mating, drinking, draining etc. Uma coisa que pode complicar este tipo de questão é que 'wedding' esta modificando outro substantivo - photo. Mas 'wedding' é um substantivo quando não estiver na função de adjunto adnominal, e há uma diferença entre "wedding photo" & "wedding couple". 

  Present participle & gerund-

  Gerund tem a mesma função de um substantivo, apesar de reter sua forma verbal:

  Eating apple is good.
  Driving too fast is dangerous.
   

  Present participle é o -ing no present continuous (past participle é verbo regular com terminação -ed). 

  He is sweeping the dust.
  She was running.
  They will be swimming.

‘It seems not a lot of people are impressed with TIME's latest magazine cover, dubbing millennials as the "ME ME ME" generation: 

Although there's a subtitle that suggests despite selfies and living in the basement with parents, past the narcissism, millennials have the power to save the world. I tried reading the article to get a sense of how, but sadly I was blocked by a paywall to Joel Stein's article. (The journalism industry needs to do what a journalism industry has to do in order to survive, after all.) 

Still, the nature of the cover itself can be easily interpreted to suggest that millennials are the only generation to have suffered from crippling egotism, when that simply isn't the case.The only major difference now is that millennials have Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to highlight their meness.’

THE PAPERLESS CLASSROOM IS COMING  

Michael Scherer

Back-to-school night this year in Mr. G’s sixth-grade classroom felt a bit like an inquisition.

Teacher Matthew Gudenius, a boyish, 36-year-old computer whiz who runs his class like a preteen tech startup, had prepared 26 PowerPoint slides filled with facts and footnotes to deflect the concerns of parents. But time was short, the worries were many, and it didn’t take long for the venting to begin.

“I like a paper book. I don’t like an e-book,” one father told him, as about 30 adults squeezed into a room for 22 students. Another dad said he could no longer help his son with homework because all the assignments were online. “I’m now kind of taking out of the routine.”, he complained. Rushing to finish, Gudenius passed a slide about the debate over teaching cursive, mumbling, “We don’t care about handwriting.” In a flash a mother objected: “Yeah, we do.”

At issue was far more than penmanship. The future of K-12 education is arriving fast, and it looks a lot like Mr. G’s classroom in the northern foothills of California’s wine country. Last year, President Obama announced a federal effort to get a laptop, tablet or smartphone into the hands of every student in every school in the U.S. and to pipe in enough bandwidth to get all 49.8 million American kids online simultaneously by 2017. Bulky textbooks will be replaced by flat screens. Worksheets will be stored in the cloud, not clunky Trapper Keepers. The Dewey decimal system will give way to Google. “This one is a big, big deal,” says Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.

It’s a deal Gudenius has been working to realize for years. He doesn’t just teach a computer on every student’s desk; he also tries to do it without any paper at all, saving, by his own estimate, 46,800 sheets a year, or about four trees. The paperless learning environment, while not the goals of most fledgling programs, represents the ultimate result of technology transforming classroom.

Gudenius started teaching as a computer-lab instructor, seeing students for just a few hours each month. That much time is still the norm for most kids. American schools have about 3.6 students for every classroom computing device, according to Education Market Research, and only 1 in 5 school buildings has the wiring to get all students online at once. But Gudenius always saw computers as a tool, not a subject. “We don’t have a paper-and-pencil lab, he says. When you are learning to be a mechanic, you don’t go to a wrench lab.”

Ask his students if they prefer the digital to the tree-based technology and everyone will say yes. It is not unusual for kids to groan when the bell rings because they don’t want to leave their work, which is often done in ways that were impossible just a few years ago. Instead of telling his students to show their work when they do an algebra equation, Gudenius asks them to create and narrate a video about the process, which can then be shown in class. History lessons are enlivened by brief videos that run on individual tablets. And spelling, grammar and vocabulary exercises have the feel of a game, with each student working at his own speed, until Gudenius – who tracks the kids’ progress on a smartphone – gives commands like “Spin it” to let the kids know to flip the screens of their devices around so that he can see their work and begin the next lesson.

• A. The new learning environment makes students complain about leaving the classroom, unlike before.
• B. Most parents have adapted well to the new method.
• C. America’s schools have the adequate wiring to get all students throughout the country connected at the same time.

Another dad said he could no longer help his son with homework because all the assignments were online. “I’m now kind of taking out of the routine.”, he complained. Rushing to finish, Gudenius passed a slide about the debate over teaching cursive, mumbling, “We don’t care about handwriting.” In a flash a mother objected: “Yeah, we do.”

At issue was far more than penmanship. The future of K-12 education is arriving fast, and it looks a lot like Mr. G’s classroom in the northern foothills of California’s wine country. Last year, President Obama announced a federal effort to get a laptop, tablet or smartphone into the hands of every student in every school in the U.S. and to pipe in enough bandwidth to get all 49.8 million American kids online simultaneously by 2017. Bulky textbooks will be replaced by flat screens. Worksheets will be stored in the cloud, not clunky Trapper Keepers. The Dewey decimal system will give way to Google. “This one is a big, big deal,” says Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.

It’s a deal Gudenius has been working to realize for years. He doesn’t just teach a computer on every student’s desk; he also tries to do it without any paper at all, saving, by his own estimate, 46,800 sheets a year, or about four trees. The paperless learning environment, while not the goals of most fledgling programs, represents the ultimate result of technology transforming classroom.

Gudenius started teaching as a computer-lab instructor, seeing students for just a few hours each month. That much time is still the norm for most kids. American schools have about 3.6 students for every classroom computing device, according to Education Market Research, and only 1 in 5 school buildings has the wiring to get all students online at once. But Gudenius always saw computers as a tool, not a subject. “We don’t have a paper-and-pencil lab, he says. When you are learning to be a mechanic, you don’t go to a wrench lab.”

Ask his students if they prefer the digital to the tree-based technology and everyone will say yes. It is not unusual for kids to groan when the bell rings because they don’t want to leave their work, which is often done in ways that were impossible just a few years ago. Instead of telling his students to show their work when they do an algebra equation, Gudenius asks them to create and narrate a video about the process, which can then be shown in class. History lessons are enlivened by brief videos that run on individual tablets. And spelling, grammar and vocabulary exercises have the feel of a game, with each student working at his own speed, until Gudenius – who tracks the kids’ progress on a smartphone – gives commands like “Spin it” to let the kids know to flip the screens of their devices around so that he can see their work and begin the next lesson.

THE PAPERLESS CLASSROOM IS COMING

Back-to-school night this year in Mr. G’s sixth-grade classroom felt a bit like an inquisition.

Teacher Matthew Gudenius, a boyish, 36-year-old computer whiz who runs his class like a preteen tech startup, had prepared 26 PowerPoint slides filled with facts and footnotes to deflect the concerns of parents.

• A. wise.
• B. conventional.
• C. original.
• D. obsolete.
• E. unusual.

Gabarito: B

Comentários

• b-

  All the answer choices broach concepts related to something being quaint, which means something of ancient qualities still retaining a curious aspect. Something run-of-the-mill would hardly be regarded as "quaint".

  obs.: wise is mentioned an archaic meaning for quaint.

  'quaint' significa antigo mas não de modo ofensivo. Seria algo clássico e ao mesmo tempo fora do comum. 

• THE ANTONYM: 

  Quaint means pitoresco, synonyms: unusual, funny, curious
  nevertheless, antonym is: conventional (convencional)

• A questão cobra conhecimento de vocabulário, especificamente sobre antônimos.
  
  
  Vamos analisar o enunciado:
  
  Synonyms and antonyms can play a very important role in alerting the reader to a change in the direction of the passage. In the sentence “for many of my students a tablet or a laptop screen is almost as quaint as a paper book", the antonym for quaint is....

  "Quaint" significa pitoresco. Algo que é pitoresco é original, diferente, exótico, curioso, inusitado, singular. Portanto, o antônimo de pitoresco seria normal, habitual, usual, convencional, trivial, corriqueiro, frequente, regular.
  
  
  Analisando as alternativas teremos:

There is a broad consensus that prepositions are notoriously difficult to learn. Long after ESL/EFL students have achieved a high level of proficiency in English, they still struggle with prepositions. In TEXT 3, “Filled with” (paragraph 1), “care about” (paragraph 2) and “replaced by” (paragraph 3) are examples of dependant prepositions. In this context, choose the only alternatives below which all groups of preposition combinations are semantically correct.

• A. boast about, care for, object to be aware of.
• B. dream about, rely in, react to, accuse of.
• C. differ of, refrain from, apply for, deal with.
• D. protest about, glance at, argue of, contribute to.
• E. subscribe to, recover of , succeed in, substitute for.

LESSON PLAN – A SCHOOL TRIP  
Pre-task (15-20 min)

Aim: to introduce the topic of a school trip and to give the class exposure to language related to it. To highlight words and phrases

Steps:

- Show pictures of students in a school trip, such as museum, park, airport, botanic garden and ask them where they go to have a good class out.

- Brainstorm words/phrases onto the board related to the topic: people, verbs, feelings, etc.

- Introduce the listening of a teacher and students planning a class out.

- Write up different alternatives on the board to give them a reason for listening eg. (a) museum/public library; (b) meet at the train station/in the square.

- Play it a few times; first time to select from alternatives, second time to note down some language.

- Tell them they are going to plan a class out and give them a few minutes to think it over. Task (10 min):students do the task in pairs and plan the day out. Match them with another pair to discuss their ideas and any similarities/differences.

Planning (10 min)

Here is a list of suggestions for the teachers who are engaged in the activity to plan their lessons:

- A teacher of Tourism and Sustainable Development Theory can ask students to find out about the infra-structure of the place and make a list of possible problems and solutions in order to write a report;

- A teacher of History can ask students to find out when the airport was built, how it was designed, who ruled the city at that time and if there were any interest in improving the accessibility, read the laws about accessibility, write a report about what was going wrong and make suggestions.

- A teacher of English can ask students to find out all the signs if they are translated, if there is accessibility in relation to all the airport, write directions to tell the tourists how to get to the places inside the airport; take notes about problems and solutions.

- The week after the visit all the students will have to share information about their findings.  

The situation presented above is mainly related to the principle of  

• A. Behaviorism.

The Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is best understood as an approach, not a method. Considering some of its interconnected characteristics as a definition of communicative language teaching-approach, analyse the statements below.

I. Classroom goals are focused on all of the components of communicative competence and not restricted to grammatical or linguistic competence.

II. Language techniques are designed to engage learners in the pragmatic, authentic, functional use of language for meaningful purposes. Organizational language forms are not the central focus but rather aspects of language that enable the learner to accomplish those purposes.

III. Fluency and accuracy are seen as complimentary principles underlying communicative techniques. At times accuracy may have to take on more importance than fluency in order to keep learners meaningfully engaged in language use.

IV. In the communicative classroom, students ultimately have to use the language, productively and respectively, in unrehearsed contexts.

V. Classroom goals are focused on form rather than meaning.

The only correct alternative(s) is/are:

• A. III, IV and V.
• B. II, III and IV.
• C. I, II and IV.
• D. II, III and V.
• E. I, III and V.

Some popular ELT authors stress two aspects of English for Specific Purpose (ESP) methodology: “all ESP teaching should reflect the methodology of the disciplines and professions it serves; and in more specific ESP teaching the nature of the interaction between the teacher and learner may be very different from that in general English Class”.

According to these authors’ view, choose the correct ESP features from the absolute and variable characteristics.

I. ESP is designed to meet specific needs of the learner.

II. ESP is not designed for specific disciplines.

III. ESP makes use of the underlying methodology and activities of the disciplines it serves.

IV. ESP is centered on the language (grammar, lexis and register), skills, discourse and games appropriate to these activities.

V. ESP is not designed for adult learners, neither at a tertiary level institution nor in a professional work situation. It is however used for learners at a secondary level.

The only correct alternative(s) is/are:

• A. I, II and III.
• B. I, II and IV.
• C. III, IV and V.
• D. I, III and IV.
• E. II, III and V.

From the point of view of some popular authors Genre is a purposeful, socially constructed oral or written communicative event, such as a narrative, a casual conversation, a poem, a recipe, or a description. Different genres are characterized by a particular structure or stages, and grammatical forms that reflect the communicative purpose of the genre in question.

Considering teaching English for Specific Purpose (ESP) through a Genre-Based Approach, it is true to say that

I. receptive skills, particularly listening, are given enhanced status.

II. the main objective of ESP is to enable students to perform certain linguistic tasks related to their academic and professional settings.

III. the choice of the texts, to be used in the classroom, is based on the genres identified as important for students.

IV. needs analysis as well as content knowledge diagnosis are key steps in the planning and teaching through this Approach.

V. one of the key principles of the approach is that grammar as a receptive skill, involving the perception of similarity and difference, is prioritized.

The only correct alternative(s) is/are:

• A. II, III and IV.
• B. I, III and V.
• C. III, IV and V.
• D. I and IV.
• E. II, IV and V.
