Villas Boas Quotes

aluno passa a ser corresponsável pela organização, pelo desenvolvimento e pela avaliação do trabalho.

entendimento de avaliação formativa como a que promove o desenvolvimento não só do aluno, mas também do professor e da escola.

The first publication of an abduction case took place in Brazil, involving the reported abduction of the son of a rancher, Antonio Villas-Boas, in 1957.

É o único procedimento pelo qual o aluno se responsabiliza inteiramente.

Por meio dele, os alunos aprendem a tomar decisões sobre sua aprendizagem.

Desse modo, o portfólio extrapola sua função avaliativa e passa a ser o eixo organizador do trabalho pedagógico, porque este assume outro significado: o aluno é corresponsável por sua organização. Murphy (1997, p. 73) considera que os portfólios “oferecem uma das poucas oportunidades escolares em que os alunos podem exercer seu julgamento, iniciativa e autoridade

enquanto construíam seus portfólios, os professores analisavam se suas práticas pedagógicas correspondiam às necessidades de seus alunos.

The Sexual Episodes When folklore becomes degraded to a minor literary form, as the fairy-faith was degraded to the fairy tales we know today, it natualy loses much of its content: precisely those "adult" details that cannot be allowed to remain in children's books. The direct result of the censorship of spicy details in these marvelous stories is that they become mere occasions for amazement. The Villas-Boas case is hardly appropriate for nursery-school reading, but to eliminate the woman from the story would turn it into a tale without deep symbolic or psychological value. The sexual context is precisely what gives such accounts their significance and their impact. The sexual (and, in some cases mentioned by Budd Hopkins, the sadomasochistic) component of the abduction stories provides an emotional "encoding" that makes them unforgettable. Without the sexual context – without the stories of changelings, human midwives, intermarriage with the Gentry, of which we never hear in modern fairy tales – it is doubtful that the tradition about fairies would have survived through the ages. Nor is that true only of fairies: the most remarkable cases of sexual contact with nonhumans are not found in spicy saucer books, nor in fairy legends; they rest, safely stored away, in the archives of the Catholic Church. To find them, one must first learn Latin and gain entrance into the few libraries where these unique records are preserved. But the accounts one finds there make the Villas-Boas case and contemporary UFO books pale by comparison, as I believe the reader will agree before the end of this chapter.
