Financial support and science promotion policies require preliminary studies of diagnoses, researcher profiles and historicity. Based on that new propositions to stimulate the areas of knowledge, the participation of researchers by gender or even the allocation of resources by region may be implemented. In this context, this study aims to describe the profile of the Scientific Initiation scholarship holders, through financial incentives from the Brazilian National Research Council (CNPq), in the Brazilian Federal Institutes (IFs), considering the type of scholarship, age and gender. A quantitative approach was used, and 2017 data were collected on the CNPq portal. The results show that, out of the total scholarships (n = 31,382), 8.75% of them were offered by FIs, with the majority of scholarships offered by the high school program (64.60%), followed by the technological development program (18.14%) and the scientific initiation program (17.26%). Most students are female (51.1%). Given the above, we emphasize the importance of studies on student profile, so that measures are taken to provide wider access to scholarships for students involved in Brazilian scientific production, as well as map the areas of greatest investment and development technological.
Virtual reality is an innovating manner of comprehending and acting on how the world is and, also, considered a new way of intellectual exercise. This work took place in a b iochemistry masters discipline (Advanced Formation in Scientific Education) and had as its observation context the forum (on-line tool) viability, intending the construction of hypertexts (active collaborative writing) by the 15 registered students in the discipline in 2008. The discipline was available on the web, in bioq.educacao.biz, where the students, teachers and monitors could subscribe. The virtual space was set with several environments (agenda, classroom, dictionary, email and forum); all of which were used during the discipline. The forum, called orkuteducation, was destined to the hypertext elaboration, which was focused in three themes: 1º) How to work with technology at school; 2º) Teaching/learning methods and new information and communication technology; 3º) Constructivism. The virtual learning environment had 2,275 accesses to its content; being the forum the most visited one, with 1,026. The built hypertext presented clear ideas about the approached themes, and realized the important role which a qualified teacher plays in the educational process. The new ways of create, organize and interact with information changes the relationship between the subject and the information itself. The hypertext constitutes "high level computer tools", through which is possible to explore knowledge in a nonlinear and interactive way. Hypertext remains a revolutionary concept of organization and access to information and its generalization impact in society is not known yet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
