FROM TOUCH TO NARRATIVE: DIGITAL IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN INTEGRAL DEVELOPMENT DURING CHILDHOOD
This research aimed to reflect on recent scientific production, through a narrative literature review, regarding the use of immersive digital technologies, focusing on tactile interaction and narrative construction, to understand their contribution to the integral development of children in early childhood education. Based on a qualitative, exploratory approach, a narrative literature review was conducted in the following databases: Scopus; Web of Science; Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO); Google Scholar; Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES); and Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD). From the searches, studies published between 2015 and November 2025 were selected, with an emphasis on scientific articles, dissertations, theses, books, and institutional documents that discussed the educational potential of digital technologies in childhood. The results indicated that the pedagogical use of immersive environments, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), expands children's cognitive, motor, social, and emotional experiences, favoring active exploration, problem-solving, peer communication, and creative expression, in addition to contributing to the development of symbolic, creative, and communicative skills. However, theoretical gaps persisted regarding teacher mediation, the ethical limits of technological use, and unequal access to digital resources. It was concluded that the intentional, critical, and mediated use of immersive technologies can contribute to a pedagogy sensitive to childhood, based on playfulness, interaction, and inclusion, consistent with the formative and sociocultural demands of the digital age.

MAKER CULTURE IN EDUCATION: FOUNDATIONS, POTENTIAL, AND CHALLENGES FOR PEDAGOGICAL INNOVATION
This article aims to present a literature review on Maker Culture in Education, based on journal articles and books, constituting a bibliographic research. It explores the fundamental concepts and characteristics of Maker Culture, its relevance to the educational environment, and practical examples of its application, aiming to show how this approach can contribute to innovative pedagogical practices and educational strategic planning. Maker Culture is a movement that values people's autonomy and creative capacity to solve everyday problems, regardless of their background. In education, it is based on Papert’s constructionism, prioritizing student protagonism in practical and collaborative projects, which transforms the dynamics of pedagogical practices, making them more active and meaningful. Maker Culture has proven to be a promising approach by enriching the school curriculum with practices that promote creativity, problem solving, use of technologies, and meaningful learning. It is concluded that, although its implementation faces challenges such as scarcity of resources, limited infrastructure, and the need for teacher training, the positive results observed indicate that Maker Culture can transform schools into more innovative, inclusive spaces aligned with contemporary demands of teaching and learning.

SHARED READING AND EMERGENT LITERACY IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Emergent literacy encompasses a set of skills that develop from early childhood and precede formal literacy, involving aspects of oral language, phonological awareness, vocabulary, and meaningful contact with written culture. Shared reading has been identified in the literature as a relevant pedagogical practice for the development of these skills, promoting interaction between adults and children and favoring the construction of meaning around the literary text. In this context, this work aims to analyze, through a literature review, the contributions of shared reading to the development of emergent literacy in Early Childhood Education. This is a narrative review, based on scientific productions selected from national and international databases, considering criteria of thematic and methodological relevance. The studies analyzed show that shared reading contributes to the expansion of vocabulary, the development of oral language, the organization of narrative, and the strengthening of the child's connection with social reading practices, in addition to favoring children's protagonism in the knowledge construction process. It is concluded that shared reading, when carried out intentionally and with mediation, constitutes a powerful pedagogical strategy for promoting emergent literacy, with significant implications for teaching practice and for the formation of readers from childhood.

IMPACTS AND BENEFITS OF IFPI IN JOSÉ DE FREITAS (PI): VOCATIONAL EDUCATION, AGRONOMIC TRAINING, AND TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT IN A RURAL CONTEXT
The implementation of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Piauí (IFPI) in the municipality of José de Freitas is part of the process of internalizing vocational, scientific, and technological education in Brazil, aimed at reducing educational inequalities and strengthening territorial development. This article critically analyzes the educational, productive, and territorial impacts of IFPI’s activities in the municipality, from its establishment in 2014 to its recent institutional consolidation, with particular emphasis on the creation of the undergraduate program in Agricultural Engineering. The study adopts a qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach, based on bibliographic review, documentary analysis, and contextual interpretation of institutional and territorial data. The findings indicate that IFPI has expanded access to high-quality public education, especially for young people from rural areas, promoted technical and higher education in agricultural fields, and contributed to the dissemination of scientific knowledge applied to local productive practices. However, these impacts are neither homogeneous nor automatic, as they depend on the articulation between educational training, public policies, technical assistance, and regional productive dynamics. It is concluded that IFPI acts as a relevant agent of territorial development in José de Freitas, although its effects rely on integrated strategies and broader public policies.

COMPARISON BETWEEN BARIATRIC SURGERY AND TIRZEPATIDE (MOUNJARO®) IN REDUCING CARDIOVASCULAR RISK IN OBESE PATIENTS
Obesity is a chronic multifactorial disease associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, resulting from complex interactions among metabolic, hormonal, and inflammatory factors. In recent decades, surgical and pharmacological therapeutic strategies have been extensively investigated to reduce cardiometabolic risk in individuals with obesity. This study aimed to compare scientific evidence on the effects of bariatric surgery and tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) in reducing cardiovascular risk in obese patients. This is an integrative and comparative review with a qualitative–quantitative approach, developed from articles published between 2015 and 2025 in the PubMed, SciELO, ScienceDirect, and AHA Journals databases. Twenty studies were analyzed, including clinical trials, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews, of which fifteen demonstrated higher methodological relevance and were used in the comparative synthesis of findings. The results showed that bariatric surgery, particularly the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy techniques, promotes a significant reduction in cardiovascular mortality, improvement in glycemic and lipid profiles, and a decrease in systemic inflammatory markers. Tirzepatide, in turn, demonstrated a marked impact on weight loss, insulin sensitivity, and improvement of inflammatory and hemodynamic parameters, with a cardioprotective effect comparable to that observed after metabolic surgery. It is concluded that both approaches constitute effective and complementary strategies for the prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases associated with obesity, representing promising perspectives for contemporary metabolic medicine.

LARVICIDAL ACTIVITY AGAINST AEDES AEGYPTI AND ANTIOXIDANT, CYTOTOXIC AND MICROBIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF THE CRUDE ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OF POGOSTEMON CABLIN BENTH
The present work aimed to evaluate the larvicidal, antioxidant, microbiological and cytotoxicity activity of the crude ethanolic extract of Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth leaves. The chemical characterization was performed through staining and staining reactions for the detection of secondary metabolite classes. The larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti was carried out according to the protocol of the World Health Organization. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by the sequestering ability of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). As for the microbiological evaluation, the microplate dilution technique was used against three bacteria, according to the protocol of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. P. cablin presented as classes of secondary metabolites: steroids and triterpenoids, depsides and depsidones, which in synergy with the other substances potentiated the larvicidal action of the species with an LC50 of 63.91 μg.mL-1 in 24 h. There was no antioxidant activity at the tested concentrations, however, it showed inhibition of bacterial growth against E. coli with MIC of 31.25 μg.mL-1. The extract showed moderate toxic action with LC50 of 257.93 μg.mL-1. Therefore, the P. cablin species showed significant larvicidal potential, with bacteriostatic action, the absence of antioxidant action and moderate toxicity.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RESTORATIVE JUSTICE, SUSTAINABILITY, AND SHARED KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION
This article investigates the convergences and divergences between Restorative Justice and Sustainability, innovative paradigms for contemporary challenges, enhanced by mediation (Boin, 2019a) and Shared Knowledge Production (Bairon & Lazaneo, 2013). Restorative Justice, focused on repair and reconciliation through mediated dialogue (Zehr, 2002; Braithwaite, 2002), contrasts with Sustainability, which aims for intergenerational balance (WCED, 1987) and respect for planetary boundaries (Rockström et al., 2009). Both share repair, systemic vision, and community participation. Mediation, as a conflict facilitation tool (Boin, 2019a), and Shared Knowledge Production, co-creating knowledge (Bairon & Lazaneo, 2013), strengthen their integration in socio-environmental conflicts, education, and governance, especially from the perspective of environmental justice (Acselrad, 2009) and the epistemologies of the south (Santos, 2007). Despite resistances, cases like New Zealand and Indigenous productions offer ethical and practical solutions to global crises. DOI: https://doi.org/10.56238/sevened2026.008-009
MANAGEMENT OF SCALE INSECTS IN ACEROLA ORCHARDS IN THE BRAZILIAN ACEROLA BELT
The Brazilian acerola belt, composed of production hubs in the Northeast, forms the main global acerola production region. In Northeast Brazil, acerola trees have adapted better to edaphoclimatic conditions; farms operate production systems with higher technological levels and maturity, and there is infrastructure for agro-industrial processing. One of the factors that compromise acerola production is infestation by scale insects (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccomorpha). Nymphs and adult females cause injury and damage through stylet insertion, continuous sap sucking, and injection of toxic saliva during feeding. The management of scale insects represents a critical factor, as these pests can cause financial losses by reducing productivity and increasing production costs. In this context, this chapter aims to synthesize current scientific information on scale insects associated with acerola, with particular emphasis on their management in acerola cultivation within the Brazilian acerola belt.

BEYOND THE DICHOTOMY: AN INTEGRATED ANALYSIS OF QUALITATIVE, QUANTITATIVE, AND MIXED-METHOD APPROACHES IN EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
This article aims to analyze the fundamental characteristics of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches in scientific research, discussing the reasons that contribute to the recurring conceptual confusion between these perspectives in academia. It is a bibliographic research, descriptive-analytical in nature and with a qualitative approach, examining reference works in the area of ​​scientific methodology. The results show that the three approaches have distinct, yet articulable, epistemological foundations, purposes, and procedures, and that conceptual confusion often stems from a lack of clarity regarding the distinction between technical procedures and methodological approaches. The study proposes analytical frameworks that systematize these articulations, highlighting that methodological choice should be guided by the research objectives and the problem investigated. It concludes that an integrated understanding of these approaches strengthens scientific rigor and supports more coherent methodological choices in the training of researchers.

EFFECT OF THE USE OF MULTIPLYING STRAINS WITH EFFICIENT MICROORGANISMS IN THE BIOREMEDIATION OF AQUACULTURE AND WASTEWATER FROM PRODUCTIVE FISH-FARMING LAKES
The intensification of aquaculture activity has increased the generation of organic waste and toxic compounds, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, threatening the quality of surface water bodies and environmental sustainability. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of multiplying strains of efficient microorganisms (EM) in the bioremediation of culture water and wastewater from fish-farming lakes. The methodology consisted of physicochemical and microbiological characterization of the waters and the application of three experimental EM doses (1/110, 1/1000, and 1/3000) in 250-liter units, compared with a control over a 45-day period. The evaluated parameters included COD, total solids, nitrogen compounds (ammonium, nitrites, nitrates), phosphates, sulfates, and microbiological counts (coliforms and heterotrophs). The results showed that although there was an increase in dissolved oxygen over time, there were no statistically significant differences between the EM treatments and the control for most variables, including the removal of coliforms and nitrogen compounds. The exception was sulfate levels, for which a significant reduction was observed in the EM treatments. It was also observed that the highest dose (1/110) was counterproductive, inducing a eutrophication process and macrophyte growth that increased the organic matter and phosphate load. It is concluded that, under the studied conditions, EM were effective specifically for sulfate removal, and lower doses are recommended for future studies to avoid eutrophication.

INTESTINAL HELMINTHIASIS AND HEALTH EDUCATION: AN EXPERIENCE REPORT
Intestinal helminthiasis is associated with poor sanitation, socioeconomic vulnerability, and continuous environmental exposure, mainly affecting children and adolescents and leading to nutritional changes and impaired growth and development. The objective of this study was to report on the experience of an extension project focused on health education about intestinal helminthiasis, developed in a school environment. This is a report on an extension experience carried out within the scope of the Clinical Parasitology discipline of the Biomedicine course at a university located in the interior of the state of Goiás. The activities were developed by students from the course at a state school in the same municipality, involving high school students. The intervention consisted of educational activities structured through dialogued presentations and interactive activities, addressing the biology of intestinal helminths, forms of transmission, clinical manifestations, and preventive measures. During the development of the actions, active participation by the high school students was observed, with recurring questions about transmission routes and prevention practices, in addition to the identification of limited conceptions related to parasitic diseases. The discussions made it possible to broaden the participants' understanding of the relationship between intestinal helminthiasis, nutritional status, and environmental conditions. It was concluded that extension activities focused on health education about intestinal helminthiasis favor the expansion of knowledge in the school community and strengthen the articulation between teaching and extension.

ALGORITHMIC GOVERNANCE AND THE PUBLIC INTEREST: ETHICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR DECISION-MAKING IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR
Ongoing technological transformations introduce new layers of decision-making power within the State, particularly through data-driven and algorithmic systems. While these tools can enhance analytical capacity and administrative efficiency, they may also reinforce inequalities, embed invisible biases, and weaken public transparency. This article examines algorithmic governance from an ethical-normative perspective grounded in the principle of the public interest. It engages classical moral philosophy, republican traditions, and contemporary debates on democratic governance, integrating them with the notion of “institutional conscience” and with the GIS Cycle (Governance, Innovation, and Sustainability). Methodologically, this is a theoretical-conceptual study based on a narrative review and critical analysis of legal frameworks and international references. The argument advanced is that the legitimacy of algorithm-mediated decisions depends on four concurrent criteria: universalizability, dignity, transparency, and accountability. From these principles, the article proposes guidelines for public policies involving data and artificial intelligence, including auditability, explainability, bias mitigation, protection of vulnerable groups, and reversibility of automated outcomes. It concludes that, in the digital age, the primacy of the public interest requires institutions to cultivate stable ethical self-control mechanisms capable of aligning technological innovation, social justice, and sustainability. More than a technical matter, algorithmic governance emerges as a profoundly moral and democratic challenge. DOI: https://doi.org/10.56238/sevened2026.008-006

WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT IN COMPUTING: PROMOTING LEADERSHIP THROUGH EDUCATIONAL ROBOTICS
The underrepresentation of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and computer science is a sociological challenge that demands incentive strategies from basic education onwards. This article presents the extension project "Robotic Girls: Creative Learning to Attract Girls to Robotics at IFRO". The project arose from the observation that 57.1% of students in the Technical Course in Informatics Concurrent with High School (CTICEM) did not identify with the field of computing, citing as obstacles a lack of confidence in their own abilities, limited access to resources, and financial challenges. The methodology adopted is based on Creative Learning and Problem-Based Learning (PBL), using Educational Robotics (ER) as a tool to connect theory and practice. The activities involved the use of block programming (Scratch), Lego Mindstorms EV3 kits, as well as support via a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and YouTube tutorials. The results demonstrate that the initiative promoted a significant increase in engagement: the number of participants rose from a low initial participation to the formation of all-girls teams for the Brazilian Robotics Olympiad (OBR). Beyond technical performance in competitions, the project stimulated female leadership, transforming students into knowledge multipliers through community workshops and visits to public schools. It is concluded that the RE (Research and Education), supported by mentoring programs and a collaborative environment, is an effective means to overcome gender barriers, strengthen self-confidence, and promote the empowerment of women in technology.

READING THE HISTORY OF ART THROUGH THE LINES OF DRAWING
This research aims to present a methodological proposal that uses drawing as a teaching-learning tool in the teaching of Art History. Starting from the understanding of drawing as a visual language and pedagogical resource, the research seeks to enable meaningful learning of Art History content in high school, bridging theory and practice in the classroom. The proposal aims to break with the paradigm that high school is predominantly characterized by theoretical approaches, by encouraging practical activities that stimulate the active participation of students. In this sense, the practice of drawing is developed in an articulated way with historical and artistic content, through the creation of drawing groups, favoring observation and interpretation, and encompassing the different periods and styles of Art History selected by the teacher for the practices. The research is qualitative and uses the Arts-Based Research (ABR) methodology through the methods of Action Research and Participatory Research, where the first aims to solve practical problems with action (attitudes) and constant reflection, while the second aims at the emancipation and social transformation of the participants (researcher and researched). It is concluded that the use of drawing as a pedagogical methodology contributes to the development of aesthetic sensitivity, critical thinking, and student engagement in the learning process.

DECADES OF INCONSISTENCIES IN EXCEL AND MICROSOFT’S STRATEGIC SILENCE: IMPLICATIONS FOR MATHEMATICAL ACCURACY AND GLOBAL EDUCATION
The Microsoft Excel software is widely used as an educational tool in schools, universities, and professional environments. However, it presents conceptual, operational, and semantic limitations that compromise both pedagogical rigor and mathematical reliability. This article analyzes recurrent failures in calculations, nomenclature, Boolean logic, and operator precedence, highlighting their significant impact on the teaching of mathematics, statistics, and finance. Comparative tests were carried out among Excel, Windows Calculator, Copilot, and free spreadsheet software, revealing conceptual discrepancies and inconsistent results. Although the Windows Calculator shares some divergences, it performs correctly the calculations that Excel evaluates inaccurately, suggesting that the origin of such inconsistencies lies in structural decisions within the software. It was also observed that Excel Copilot can overcome part of these errors, indicating that the corrections are technically feasible, although not yet incorporated into the traditional version. The article proposes that Microsoft implement parallel functions — semantically precise and pedagogically appropriate — capable of coexisting with the current ones, reconciling historical compatibility with greater conceptual accuracy. In addition to operational limitations, semantic inconsistencies were identified in mathematical functions and in the VBA language, which may contribute to the development of imprecise concepts. Teaching with Excel is different from calculating with Excel — and this discrepancy may compromise the education of millions of students worldwide. DOI: https://doi.org/10.56238/sevened2025.038-082
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES APPLIED TO THE POULTRY PRODUCTION CHAIN AS “PRECISION TOOLS”
According to the 2024 Annual Report from the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA), Brazil produced 52.4 billion eggs in 2023, with 99% allocated to the domestic market and 1% exported. This production scale demands that poultry operations integrate advanced data-driven methodologies to optimize performance and meet evolving consumer expectations. As a global benchmark, the Brazilian poultry sector must adopt innovative technologies tailored to local conditions, ensuring product quality and maintaining competitive advantage. Strategic management now requires real-time decision-making supported by digital platforms and Industry 4.0 technologies, with emphasis on animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and corporate social responsibility. The rapid evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) systems and cloud-based infrastructures underpins the emergence of smart agriculture. These technologies enable the deployment of sophisticated mathematical models and real-time algorithms for predictive analytics and operational optimization. Research findings highlight the applicability of emerging precision technologies across the poultry production chain. These tools enhance analytical capabilities and support managerial decision-making, surpassing earlier frameworks such as Smart Poultry Farming. By streamlining processes, reducing operational costs, and generating new business opportunities, digital transformation reinforces sectoral competitiveness and aligns with strategic, environmental, and social governance objectives.

LEARNING STYLES IN DIDACTIC PLANNING OF HIGHER EDUCATION
Objective: To develop a methodological proposal to identify the characteristics of the students in a group (personality, academic level, context, cognitive structure and learning styles), to guide didactic planning towards comprehensive training, meaningful and personalized learning. Theoretical Framework: Students with heterogeneous characteristics in their biography and academic history converge in the classroom. Its identification by means of various diagnostic models (Briggs-Myer; Honey-Mumford; Kolb; VARK; 4MAT-System) allows for the adaptation of didactic planning improving students' academic results. Method: A qualitative, descriptive, literature review study was carried out, analyzing didactic planning and several models of learning styles, to develop a methodological proposal that identifies the characteristics of students in a school group (personality, academic level, context, cognitive structure, learning styles). Results and Discussion: The characteristics and learning styles identified by the models reviewed are personality (Briggs-Myer), attitude and behavior (Honey-Mumford; Honey-Alonso), experiential learning (Kolb), preferential sensory modality for perceiving and processing information (VARK, Fleming-Mills model), laterality and specificity of the cerebral hemispheres (Bernice McCarthy's 4MAT-System), interaction between students and teachers (Grasha-Riechmann). It included also an initial diagnostic examination, individual and group interviews and team building. Research implications: Didactic planning oriented towards the characteristics and learning styles of students is an innovative strategy to achieve meaningful and personalized learning. Originality/Value: The relevance of the study is to emphasize the need to identify the differences between the students of a group, in order to generate changes both in didactic planning and at the institutional level, benefiting the community.

TILAPIA SKIN (OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS) IN THE REPAIR AND PROTECTION OF THE PALATAL SURGICAL BED AFTER AUTOGENOUS GRAFT REMOVAL: A LITERATURE REVIEW
The removal of autogenous palatal grafts is widely used in reconstructive periodontal surgeries to restore the anatomy and functionality of gingival tissues; however, it may cause pain, bleeding, discomfort, and postoperative morbidity due to healing by secondary intention at the donor site. Therefore, alternatives are sought to reduce these effects and promote faster and more comfortable repair. Nile tilapia skin (Oreochromis niloticus) has emerged as a promising biomaterial due to its high concentration of type I collagen, as well as mechanical strength, elasticity, biocompatibility, low antigenicity, sustainability, and low cost. This study analyzed scientific evidence regarding the use of tilapia skin as an occlusive biological dressing for the protection and repair of the palatal surgical bed after autogenous graft removal, considering its structural properties, clinical performance, and advantages compared with conventional dressings. The literature review was conducted using the PubMed, SciELO, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, and BVS databases, employing descriptors in Portuguese and English, following inclusion and exclusion criteria for publications from 2015 to 2025. The studies indicate that tilapia skin promotes faster epithelialization, reduces postoperative discomfort, effectively protects the surgical bed, improves aesthetic outcomes, and presents no relevant complications. Moreover, its versatility allows application in different forms, such as membranes, sponges, and hydrogels. Thus, tilapia skin represents a safe, effective, and promising alternative for regenerative dentistry, although more robust clinical studies are needed to standardize protocols and expand its use in surgical practice.

HEALTH EDUCATION IN THE PREVENTION OF INFECTIONS IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS: AN EXPERIENCE REPORT
Hemodialysis is an indispensable therapy for patients with advanced chronic renal failure, but it is associated with high risks of infections, especially those related to vascular access. The objective is to report on the experience of an extension project focused on health education for the prevention of infections in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This is an experience report developed within the scope of the Body Fluids and Urinalysis course, part of the Biomedicine program at a university in the interior of the state of Goiás. The activities were carried out in person at a nephrology institute during hemodialysis sessions in the morning and afternoon shifts over two days, involving students, a supervising professor, and patients undergoing treatment. The educational activities included a dialogue-based presentation on infection prevention, vascular access care, and hand hygiene, as well as dynamic activities, such as an educational true-or-false game and a practical demonstration of hand hygiene techniques using playful resources. The results showed high patient participation and engagement, promoting understanding of guidelines and knowledge exchange in the care environment itself. The experience also enabled students to articulate theory and practice, develop health education skills, and gain a greater understanding of the complexity of hemodialysis care. It is concluded that educational actions carried out in the context of dialysis treatment are a relevant strategy for promoting patient safety, preventing infections, and strengthening integration between the university and the community.

THE PÉ-DE-MEIA PROGRAM AS A PUBLIC POLICY TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO STAY IN SCHOOL AND COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL: EVIDENCE FROM THE FIRST RESULTS
Dropout and evasion in secondary education are historical challenges in Brazilian education, strongly associated with socioeconomic inequalities that compromise the permanence and completion of this stage by young people in the public school system. In this context, the Pé-de-Meia Program emerges as a public policy of financial incentive aimed at the permanence and completion of secondary education by vulnerable students in the public school system. This article aims to analyze initial evidence of the implementation of the Pé-de-Meia Program in light of selected indicators of school performance, flow, and transition, discussing the extent to which the policy design is compatible with improvements observed in the 2020-2024 period. Methodologically, this is a quantitative, descriptive, and ex post study based on secondary data from official databases (Inep, Nilo Peçanha Platform, and Enem statistics), with an emphasis on Figureical analysis and the comparison of historical series. The results point to signs of an association between the Program's duration and higher pass rates, lower dropout and age-grade distortion indicators, and increased participation of public school graduates in the Enem, especially among students more exposed to the need for early entry into the labor market. It can be concluded that, although still preliminary and subject to important methodological limitations, the findings indicate the relevance of Pé-de-Meia as a policy to support high school retention and completion, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and more robust impact assessments as new data sets and series become available.

BETWEEN RIGHTS AND SILENCES: A HISTORICAL-CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION CURRICULUM IN TOCANTINS
Considering that curricular documents are not neutral, but historical productions shaped by societal projects and ideological disputes, this article problematizes the Tocantins Curricular Document – Early Childhood Education and the documents that guide Early Childhood Education in the municipality of Palmas-TO, in light of Historical-Dialectical Materialism, Historical-Critical Pedagogy, and Cultural-Historical Theory. It aims to analyze the pedagogical and curricular conceptions present in these documents, identifying foundations, limits, and contradictions related to the social function of Early Childhood Education and the role of teacher mediation. To this end, qualitative documentary research is conducted, using as corpus the Tocantins Curricular Document – Early Childhood Education, approved in 2019, and municipal regulations that govern the curricular and pedagogical organization of Early Childhood Education in Palmas. In this way, it is observed that the analyzed documents, although they recognize the child as a subject rights and value play, interaction, and experiences, maintain alignment with the National Common Curricular Base, prioritizing lived experiences, children's protagonism, and learning rights over systematic teaching, cultural transmission, and the teacher's intentional mediation. This allows us to conclude that such curricular guidelines have structural limitations, as they remain silent on the concrete material conditions of childhoods in Tocantins, reinforce neo-schoolist concepts, and weaken the school's social function as a space for the socialization of historically produced knowledge, indicating the need for a curriculum reorganization based on critical, historical-dialectical, and emancipatory perspectives for public Early Childhood Education, in the context of contemporary Brazilian educational policies.
