The National Survey per Household Sampling (NSHS) has provided, since the early 2000's, information on the existence and extent of work in household chores. This information, added of the work week in the work market, allows for the construction of an index of the intensity of the total work week in the market and in the extra-market. This essay analyzes the intensity of the total work week for men and women, considering the conditions of occupational insertion, family income, and the family cycle. The analysis shows that women who hold less stable occupations that require less qualification, who have better incomes, and have younger children tend to have longer total work weeks compared to that of men in similar occupational and family conditions and also to women who hold more qualified, higher income positions and also have young children. The results of the assay indicate the need for public policies that are capable of building instruments to protect women and that consider the social differentiation related to the type of insertion in the market. Furthermore, the study shows that job policies cannot be restricted to the work market. It is also necessary to reach the family nucleus organization conditions.

This essay seeks to contribute to building a methodological key to interpret the course and the current status of field education, a recent phenomenon in the Brazilian educational reality which has peasant social movements as its main actors. The article begins with an analysis of the original Field Education constitution, identifying its context, practices, and subjects. It then discusses the main tensions and contradictions in its course, particularly those that are produced in the relationship between the social movements and the State, in the affirmation of an emancipatory pedagogic tradition, and in the struggle for public policies that ensure peasant access to formal school education in their own territory. Finally, a few of the impasses and challenges that were singled out regarding the modern day Field education, relating them to the current global crisis of capitalism and to how it materializes itself in the issues related to work in the field.

Seeking to get to know the most significant learning approaches for nursing students at a university located in Southern Brazil, a qualitative survey was carried out among 37 students from May to June 2007. Initially, the data were collected via an instrument containing a single guiding question: "How do you best learn content?". A group of nine students was then brought together and the theme explored in more detail. The results of this study indicate these nursing students learn content best via theoretical and practical activities. This allows us to infer that learning becomes more significant to students as they realize how such learning is applied in the daily activities nurses carry out.

This article is based on an empirical research project of social nature that analyzes the meanings students of medicine attribute to the groupings formed based on their initiative in a public university and discusses the relationship between this space and the development of citizenship in a consumption society in which important movements are taking place. The empirical material was obtained from observations made in several scenarios experienced by the students and from semi-structured interviews carried out among students of medicine, the theoretical reference for which were notions of critical education and post-structuralism. The studies reveal parties, events, and celebrations, largely visible and strongly mercantilist social practices, are not hegemonic in the university space. There are also study groups, religious gatherings, debates on racial and sexual choice affirmation, community activities and scientific events, even though less visible and prestigious. In this context, academic center and sports centers, in addition to their respective purposes of political and academic engagement and of organizing sporting events, are important spaces for daily experiences and to bring students from different undergraduate periods. Based on these results, we discuss aspects of the relationship to be established between these spaces and the university curriculum, Considering values of solidarity, liberty, and social obligations.

Ensaio
This essay seeks to discuss political participation in the Single Health Service (SHS) based on the problematization of the options and conceptions that guide its definition as social control, made operational by means of mechanisms of representation of interests. As such, the goal was to drive reflection on how political participation in the SHS is transferred to daily institutional life, as a challenge to build modes of participative management. The Policy concept we adopt is defined not in terms of equality (formal), which opposes differences (social), rather as the co-production of a reality that is made concrete in the relationship between equality and difference, such as the access to and use of common goods, in its undetermined capacity, one that is open to the creation of value. Thinking of participation in these terms means to weave participation as the possibility to institute norms, and not only as the control of the execution and inspection of the existing norms. As such, participation in health is thought out based on the problem of constituting a public policy that can remain open and unpredictable, safeguarding, nonetheless, the material conditions of equality. In this regard, a public policy that breaks away from the modern sovereignty mechanisms by incorporating itself into its institutional design the unpredictability of normative production, becoming an ethical device for the production of value.
