A recent Executive Order by President Biden emphasized the link between racial equity, education, and artificial intelligence (AI). It stated that the Federal Government must both pursue educational equity and eliminate bias in the design and use of new technologies, such as AI.
The U.S. Department of Education’s report Advancing Digital Equity for All defines digital equity as the condition in which individuals and technological communities capacity needed have the for full participation in society and the economy.
Concerns about racial equity and bias are central to the debate on AI in education. AI systems rely on datasets, and when these datasets are non-representative or contain biased patterns, the resulting models may behave unfairly. Such systematic unfairness in automated decisions is known as algorithmic bias, which can lead to discrimination and undermine equity at scale.
Bias is intrinsic to how AI algorithms are trained on historical data. When these biases sustain unjust or discriminatory practices in education, they must be identified and addressed. For instance, algorithms used for admissions, early intervention, or exam monitoring should be regularly evaluated for evidence of unfair bias, not only during design but also as they are deployed in real educational contexts.

A charge apresentada realiza uma crítica a qual aspecto da sociedade contemporânea?
"The methods and approaches used in foreign language teaching are generally aimed at improving the basic language skills of the language. Speaking, listening, reading and writing are expressed in four basic language skills. In the literature, listening and reading are perceptual skills, speaking and writing are expressed as production skills."
Based on the text, and considering the relationship between skill development and text−context comprehension, which of the statements below is correct?
I.Productive skills (speaking and writing) require integrating linguistic knowledge with context and communicative purpose.
II.The balance between perceptive and productive skills is essential for learners to understand and construct meaning across different contexts.
III.Reading and listening comprehension depend solely on decoding linguistic forms, not on contextual interpretation.
It is correct what is stated in:
"Children's literature is a valuable tool to raise intercultural awareness in language classrooms. Through stories, learners can explore differences and similarities between cultures, and challenge stereotypes. Literature helps them develop empathy, curiosity, and respect for others." (Ibrahim, 2021. The role of children's literature in developing intercultural awareness in ELT. Nord University, p. 5).
(__)Children's literature can serve as a medium to challenge stereotypes and promote empathy.
(__)Intercultural awareness is limited to understanding vocabulary and grammar within texts.
(__)Stories that include cultural differences can foster curiosity and respect among learners.
(__)Avoiding cultural content in English stories enhances students' intercultural competence.
(__)The use of literature in ELT connects linguistic learning with emotional and cultural growth.

Smatphones are banned in Brazilian Schools
Brazil’s president has signed a law to limit smartphone use in schools, starting in February. This rule will apply to elementary and high schools across the country. Phones will only be allowed in emergencies, for educational activities, or for students with disabilities. The goal is to help students focus better and reduce distractions caused by phones.
Officials explained that children are using the internet at younger ages, which makes it harder for parents to monitor them. Limiting smartphones at school can help students concentrate on studying. A recent survey found that nearly two-thirds of Brazilians support banning smartphones in schools, and over threequarters believe these devices are harmful for kids.
Some families and students agree with the move, saying it will encourage more interaction and help classmates focus better. However, others believe it won’t solve all school issues, like bullying and harassment.
As of 2023, about two-thirds of Brazilian schools already limit smartphone use, while 28% ban them completely. Some states, such as Rio de Janeiro and Goias, have passed local laws restricting phones in schools, but enforcement has been challenging. In Sao Paulo, discussions are ongoing about banning phones in both public and private schools.
Globally, concerns ______________ smartphone use ______________ children have led to similar measures. Countries ______________ China, France, and parts of the U.S. have introduced restrictions to reduce distractions and protect children’s mental health. A report ______________ UNESCO found that one in four countries has already limited smartphone use in schools.

1. New smartphone’s rules were created to help students focus better.
2. Over three-quarters of Brazilians think phones are harmful for kids.
3. Officials think smartphones are a problem for children because they are expensive for families.
4. If the law passes in São Paulo both public and private schools will ban phones.
Choose the alternative which contains the correct affirmatives.
