Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir os desdobramentos do processo de formação de facilitadores e o trabalho de efetivação de 'rodas' de Educação Permanente em Saúde (EPS) em unidades de serviços de saúde no município de Vitória, Espírito Santo, cenário selecionado a partir de mapeamento dentre várias experiências de EPS em andamento no país. Adota os pressupostos metodológicos sugeridos pela cartografia para produção e análise dos dados, utilizando variadas estratégias, como observação participante, entrevistas individuais e coletivas com os profissionais e usuários. Verifica que o termo EPS admite várias concepções: movimento que coloca o trabalho em análise, visando a definir prioridades locais que promovam a reorganização dos espaços de produção de saúde; estratégia de formação dos profissionais de saúde em um processo constante de subjetivação, como estratégia de gestão, na medida em que possibilita reorganizar a gestão a partir da problematização do trabalho. Verifica a existência de 59 Rodas de EPS distribuídas em 25 serviços de saúde, com a presença de dois facilitadores em cada uma. Conclui que, nesse cenário, as várias concepções disputaram espaço e produziram efeitos, especialmente perceptíveis na mudança da forma como os profissionais compreendem o processo educativo e a sua interação com o cotidiano do trabalho.

In this article, child labor concepts and practices are taken up again, as analyzed in the author's thesis and ongoing research, to question, in the relationship between work and education, the possibilities of this child and adolescent social being. Giving continuity to the studies, an investigation is made of a policy of eradicating child labor and of having a safety network included in the scope of full protection. The author focuses on the relationship between work and training of both child and young workers and of those who work on the social policies that are part of the conditionalities for the fellowship under the Program for the Eradication of Child Labor (Peti). The text is organized into three sections: the historicity of child labor in the capitalist accumulation process, the production of the 'Work and Education' Working Group, of the National Association of Graduate Studies and Research in Education (Anped) on the theme, and current status of the issue. Thus, the article emphasizes the 'child labor' object as both the product and engine of the accumulation which, with nuances, remains functional to capital. The successive productive restructuring processes associated with the State's management modes weaken the movements in labor laws on the international level and, in the Brazilian case, the progress represented by the Children and Adolescent Statute (ECA), which maintains and deepens this social wound.

This article examines, from a gender perspective, the type of employability the population holding higher education degrees had over the last thirty years of the twentieth century. To achieve its goals, it first outlines the broader changes witnessed in the work market in this period based on a dialogue with the literature of reference. Then, based on the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics' database of census figures of 1970 and 2000, it compares different patterns and trends of some variables regarding the labor market among men and women. This approach discusses the extent to which the dynamics seen in this segment also play out a gender division of labor. The main results show that already in the 1970s most women in this group worked full time. This trend accentuated in the thirty years in question, and in the other variables trends increasingly closer to those seen among men were also noticeable. However, the persistence of female occupational segmentation and the major wage differentials still point to a gradual deconstruction of the constraints surrounding the presence of these women in the workplace.

This article seeks to present and discuss the concepts nursing teachers have about work, education and health. To this end, we interviewed seven nursing teachers who work at a higher education institution in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The reports that were obtained pointed to the double side of the work, related, concurrently, with satisfaction and distress, identified, respectively, by creativity/autonomy and obligation/insecurity. The influence neoliberal policies have on employment and in the education and health areas was also noticed. Issues related to education focused on discussing the collective construction of knowledge and civic education. Regarding health, meanwhile, the perceptions of the educators who were interviewed involved concepts of promoting health and its determining factors. The interfaces among work, education and health were perceived in different ways, calling attention to the need for multiple changes in these three areas in order for it to be possible to achieve quality in these relations.

This article examines the perceptions regarding tutor and student attitudes in the learning processes during an on-line professional refresher course. In the study, interviews were carried out among ten students and three tutors of the course by means of semi-structured roadmaps that covered the following aspects: admission to the course, technologies, content, assessment activities, mentoring, mediation, and expectations about the course. The roadmaps were organized into topics that would enable the identification of the structural conditions for the use of the tools that were available in the virtual environment, the types of interaction, the understanding of the content, as well as participants' expectations with respect to the objectives proposed by the course. The interviewees' reports point to important questions to be considered when designing and managing on-line courses, such as the need for periodic adjustments of the course's educational proposal in order to meet the demands of both students and tutors with regard not only to how the content is organized but also to updating it, the means through which the material can be accessed, and the implementation of assessment activities that are consistent with work experience.

Health professionals should be encouraged to gain independence in the search for, selection, and use of information to solve daily problems. Furthermore, they should be encouraged to reflect on the events that were experienced, to pursue the reconstruction of the path that was followed, and to give them a new meaning. This article presents a learning experience graduate students had during the process of evaluating Brazilian sites on drugs of abuse. After ascertaining the great amount of information on drugs of abuse and the lack of criteria in discussing them on the Internet, a research process got underway that triggered the preparation of a protocol to assist in the process of selecting Brazilian sites that address the drugs of abuse issue.
