The first variant is specified for type A and B units and the second variant is specified for type C units. Standards for given category and variant are additionally divided according to dress and gear which is used during testing as follows:  BDU (battle dress uniform);  BDU,...

The word that disappeared - A scientific essay on the child-rearing responsibilities and practical professional knowledge of preschool educators This scientific essay examines how child-rearing tasks of the preschool educator relates to their practical knowledge from a hermeneutical perspective considered in the light of Hannah Arendt's concept of responsibility. The study consists of six subject narratives and an ethno-logical field study carried out at two preschools. Participatory observations and interviews were used as a method. Explored here is how professional responsibility, regulated in the preschool's governing documents, balances out against interpersonal responsibility in an activity where children spend most of their wakening hours and where attention is given to various factors such as the need for freedom, organisation and security. Examined too is how rules, companion education, self-regulation, leadership, adult authority and the application of governing documents weigh up against the concepts of children's' participation, influence and power. The concept of rearing in preschool is a controversial one: This may be due perhaps to connotations of rigid rules and nagging adults, but also that activities of the last decade have developed towards more school-based learning. Preschool teaching contains so much more however. In the daily workings of the enterprise security is established, while children are also learning to deal with materials and environments, learning to take on their own responsibility—exercising independence on a gradual basis. Alongside free play and creative activities, rearing therefore forms a vital element of children's non-cognitive learning that even affects interaction and communication. A concept that has been a part of the preschool world for over a century rearing has now been removed from the preschool curriculum.  Results demonstrate that the task of child-rearing is an element presupposed in a teachers’ practical knowledge. Based on a complex number of variables, children’s best interests are constantly considered. An unspoken gap sometimes arises between the professional’s responsibility and the interpersonal responsibility that they require to bridge the gap. This becomes particularly evident when children require the response of adults with whom they feel secure. In this manner child-rearing activities, previously seen as solely the parents concern, now also fall upon the educator, even if this remains unsaid. It is therefore assumed that the work of child-rearing will remain in preschools even if the word itself disappears. Responsibility, content and praxis, in the question of child-rearing therefore needs to be discussed and highlighted together with parenting to maintain a socially sustainable future. / I denna vetenskapliga essä undersöks hur förskolepedagogers fostransansvar yttrar sig i förhållande till deras praktiska yrkeskunnande ur ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv och i förhållande till Hannah Arendts ansvarsbegrepp. Studien består av sex egenupplevda berättelser och en etnologisk fältstudie utförd på två förskolor där deltagande observationer och intervjuer använts som metod. Här utforskas hur det professionella ansvaret, som regleras i förskolans styrdokument, balanseras mot ett mer mellanmänskligt ansvar i en verksamhet där de flesta barn vistas större delen av sin vakna tid och där hänsyn ska tas till olika faktorer som behov av frihet, organisation och säkerhet. Därför undersöks också hur regler, kamrat-fostran, självreglering, ledarskap, vuxenauktoritet och tillämpning av styrdokument avvägs mot begrepp som barns delaktighet, inflytande och makt. Fostransbegreppet är omstritt i förskolan. Det kan bero på att det förknippas med stelbenta regler och tjatiga vuxna, men det kan även spela en roll att verksamheten utvecklats i riktning mot ett mer skolämnesbaserat lärande under de senaste tio åren. Undervisningen i förskolan är dock så mycket mer. I grund-verksamhetens dagliga rutiner etableras trygghet samtidigt som barnen lär sig att hantera material och miljöer liksom att ta ansvar för sig själva och stegvis utöva självständighet. Tillsammans med fri lek och skapande aktiviteter utgör därför fostran en viktig del av barns icke-kognitiva lärande som även berör samspel och kommunikation. Ett begrepp som varit en del av förskolans värld i över hundra år och som nu stryks ur förskolans läroplan.   Resultatet visar att fostransuppdraget existerar som en förgivettagen del av pedagogernas praktiska kunskap. Utifrån en mängd komplexa variabler görs ständiga överväganden för barnens bästa. Ibland uppstår även ett outtalat tomrum mellan yrkesansvaret och det mellanmänskliga ansvaret som de behöver överbrygga. Något som blir särskilt tydligt när barn kräver gensvar av vuxna som de känner sig trygga med. Fostranshandlingar som tidigare sågs som föräldrarnas ensak blir på så vis också pedagogernas även om det förblir outtalat. Man kan därför anta att arbetet med fostran kommer att leva kvar i förskolan även om själva ordet försvinner. Ansvar, innehåll och praktiskt handlande i fostransfrågan behöver därför diskuteras och lyftas fram tillsammans med föräldrasamverkan för en socialt hållbar framtid.

The purpose of this qualitative study is to investigate how social science teachers perceive and express the concept of society in social studies. The study consists of focus group interviews with nine social science teachers at two upper secondary schools and its results are analyzed against the theoretical backdrop of Odenstad's orientation topics, analytical subjects and discussion topics and Sandahl’s first-order and second-order concepts. In short, the two different conceptual devices can be described as the skills and abilities that are most important for the students to master in order to develop advanced thinking skills in social science. Particular emphasis is put on critical thinking, that is, the ability to seek, structure and evaluate information from different sources and to draw conclusions from this process. The emerging results show a certain consensus on the concept of society among social science teachers as the potential subject of study and analysis that would simplify and clarify the analyses of the different levels in society which, in turn, would contribute to adding significance and bringing cohesion to the subject as a whole. As for the skills and abilities that stem from Odenstad's orientation topics and Sandahl’s first-order concepts, the interviewed teachers all emphasize conceptual ability as well as good external knowledge to have knowledge of how society is made up. With reference to Odenstad's analytical subject and discussion topics and Sandahl's second-order concepts, it would seem that it is not only important but a prerequisite that students develop an analytical ability and critical thinking as well as the ability to sift through and process large amounts of information and assume different perspectives on the topic or issue at hand.

Wir können Mathematikleistungen über fluide Intelligenz (FI) vorhersagen. Der Einfluss von FI auf kognitive Prozesse und neuronale Mechanismen, die mathematischen Fähigkeiten in verschiedenen Teildisziplinen zugrunde liegen, ist jedoch wenig verstanden. Vorliegende Arbeit spezifiziert FI-bezogene Unterschiede in diesen Prozessen und Mechanismen beim Lösen von Geometrie-, Arithmetik- und Algebra-Aufgaben. Mithilfe eines multimethodalen Ansatzes beleuchtet sie das Zusammenspiel zwischen FI, Leistung und Faktoren wie Aufgabenkomplexität, Lernen und Strategiewahl, die kognitive Prozesse und Anforderungen beim Problemlösen beeinflussen. Leistungsunterschiede wurden durch Messung von Reaktionszeiten und Fehlerraten, Strategien durch Augenbewegungsanalyse erfasst. Als Indikator kortikaler Aktivität diente die ereigniskorrelierte (De-)Synchronisation (ERD/ERS) im Alpha-Band. Um kognitive Prozesse zu unterscheiden, haben wir die ERD/ERS im Theta-Band und den Alpha-Unterbändern einbezogen. Beim Lösen unvertrauter geometrischer Analogien zeichnete sich hohe FI durch verstärkte Verarbeitung visuell-räumlicher Informationen zum Repräsentieren von Merkmalszusammenhängen aus. Schüler mit hoher FI passten ihre Strategiewahl den Anforderungen flexibler an. Erstmals konnten wir durch trialweise Identifikation von Strategien FI-bezogene Unterschiede in der neuronalen Effizienz der Strategieausführung feststellen. Beim Lösen vertrauter arithmetischer und algebraischer Terme zeigten sich bei Schülern mit hoher im Vergleich zu Schülern mit durchschnittlicher FI geringere Anforderungen zur Aktualisierung numerischer Repräsentationen und eine bessere Leistung in komplexen Aufgaben. Weitere Analysen legen nahe, dass Schüler mit hoher FI Zusammenhänge in der Aufgabenstruktur besser erkennen und passende Routinen abrufen können. Die Fähigkeit Zusammenhangsrepräsentationen zu bilden könnte demnach ein Schlüsselaspekt zur Erklärung FI-abhängiger Unterschiede in mathematischen Fähigkeiten sein. / Fluid intelligence (FI) is a strong predictor of mathematical performance. However, the impact of FI on cognitive processes and neural mechanisms underlying differences in mathematical abilities across different subdivisions is not well understood. The present work specifies FI-related differences in these processes and mechanisms for students solving geometric, arithmetic, and algebraic problems. We chose a multi-methodological approach to shed light on the interplay between FI, performance, and factors such as task complexity, learning, and strategy selection that influence cognitive processes and task demands in problem-solving. We measured response times and error rates to evaluate performance, eye movements to identify solution strategies, and the event-related (de-)synchronization (ERD/ERS) in the broad alpha band as indicator of general cortical activity. Further, we considered the ERD/ERS in the theta band and the alpha sub-bands to distinguish between associated cognitive processes. For unfamiliar geometric analogy tasks, students with high FI built relational representations based on a more intense processing of spatial information. Strategy analyses revealed a more adaptive strategy choice in response to increasing task demands compared to students with average FI. Further, we conducted the first study identifying strategies and related cortical activity trial-wise and thereby identified FI-related differences in the neural efficiency of strategy execution. For solving familiar arithmetic and algebraic problems, high compared to average FI was associated with lower demands on the updating of numbers leading to a better performance in complex tasks. Further analyses suggest that students with high FI had an advantage to identify the relational structure of the problems and to retrieve routines that match this structure. Thus, the ability to build relational representations might be one key aspect explaining FI-related difference in mathematical abilities.

Die Rechenstörung ist definiert als Unfähigkeit, trotz normaler Intelligenz und angemessener Beschulung grundlegende Rechenfertigkeiten zu erwerben. Über dieses Störungsbild gibt es nur wenige wissenschaftliche Daten. Die vorliegende Studie hatte zum Ziel, epidemiologische sowie klinische und neuropsychologische Daten zur Rechenstörung zu erheben. In einem ersten Abschnitt wurden 182 zufällig ausgewählte Drittklässler einer Großstadtpopulation mit standardisierten Leistungstests untersucht. Probanden mit einem erheblich schlechteren Ergebnis in Mathematik als in Rechtschreibung wurden als solche mit dem Verdacht auf eine Rechenstörung identifiziert. Wir fanden eine Prävalenz von 6,59 % (n=12). Der zweite Teil der Studie hatte eine umfassende klinisch-neurologische und neuropsychologische Diagnostik zur Überprüfung der Verdachtsdiagnose der Probanden zum Inhalt. Nur fünf der Eltern der zwölf identifizierten Probanden stimmten dieser weiterführenden Diagnostik zu. Von diesen fünf Probanden konnten bei vier umschriebene Störungen der Rechenfertigkeiten diagnostiziert werden. Jedoch nur einer erfüllte die diagnostischen Kriterien der ICD-10 für eine Rechenstörung. Die erhobenen Daten werden verglichen mit denen einer anderen Studie der Arbeitsgruppe mit einer repräsentativen Stichprobe aus einem ländlichen Raum. Zwar finden sich aufgrund zeitlicher Unterschiede und unterschiedlicher zur Anwendung gebrachter Testinstrumente erhebliche Unterschiede in den Ergebnissen der standardisierten Leistungstests, die Prävalenz für Rechenstörungen ist jedoch in beiden Studien gleich. Auf der Grundlage einer Übersicht bisher veröffentlichter Forschungsergebnisse und der erhobenen Daten wird die Diagnose der Rechenstörung diskutiert. Es wird geschlussfolgert, dass sie trotz teilweise unscharfer Definition als medizinische Entität valide ist. Der Vorzug der Verwendung von deskriptiv-qualitativen diagnostischen Kriterien an Stelle von quantitativen Differenzen in standardisierten Leistungstests wird betont, ebenso wie die Erfordernis einer international einheitlichen Terminologie. Die Notwendigkeit weiterer Forschung auf dem Gebiet wird unterstrichen. / The Specific disorder of arithmetical skills is defined as an individual's unability to acquire arithmetical skills in spite of normal intelligence and adequate mathematical education. There is a considerable lack of data on the condition. The present study attempts to collect epidemiological as well as clinical and neuropsychological data. In a first step, randomly chosen 182 third-graders of a city population were screened for a suspected Specific disorder of arithmetical skills, defined by a significantly worse mathematics compared to spelling achievement. We found the prevalence of the condition to be 6.59 % (n=12). In the second step we attempted to validate the suspected Specific disorder of arithmetical skills with a thorough clinico-neurological and neuropsychological test battery. Only five of the parents of the twelve probands agreed to further testing. Of those five, four showed below-average performances in at least one area of mathematical abilities. However, only one proband met the diagnostic criteria for the condition of the ICD-10. The study compares our data with those of another study by our group of a rural population sample. Due to temporal differences and different screening instruments, the screening test results are quite dissimilar, yet the prevalence rate for the condition is equal in both studies. Considering a review of the literature on the field as well as our own data the diagnosis of the Specific disorder of arithmetical skills is discussed. It is concluded that it has validity as a medical condition, but that is currently ill-defined. Diagnostic criteria employing qualitative aspects of the condition rather than quantitative discrepancies in standardized tests are proposed. An universal terminology of the condition is suggested and the need for further research emphasized.

Currently, the theory recognized as the most extensive to explain the mental functioning is the C-H-C (Cattell-Horn-Carroll). Among the tests internationally availables, the only one that meets this proposal is the theoretical battery Woodcock Johnson III (WJ - IIII). Accordingly, the objective of this study was to verify the convergence validity battery of Cognitives Abilities Woodcock-Johnson III, comparing it with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - WISC-III, already validated for our reality. The sample was composed of 30 students from public school of Primary and Secondary Education, being 15 men and 15 women aged between 13 and 15 years. It was applied to the participants, with parents permission, the two sets of Cognitive Abilities WJ-III and WISC-III. The results were analyzed according to the Pearson correlation and it was performed the Analysis of Variance between gender and age for each instrument. The results pointed to a significant correlation between the total score of Woodcock and the total score in the WISC of 0,865, between Woodcock and the scale implementation 0,766 and the scale verbal 0,843. As for the Analysis of Variance, in the instrument WISC-III there was no significant difference in age and in subtestes Complete Figures and Cubes Sex x Age to the subtest vocabulary. In addition, for the instrument WJ-III there were differences of Sex X Age only for subtest Verbal Understanding. The Battery Woodcock Johnson III is considered the most complete in order to allow the evaluation of different differents cognitive abilities of the model C-HC, and therefore, according to the presents results, the battery WJ-III can be used in Brazil to replace the WISC - III. / O estudo da avalia??o intelectual tem apresentado grande diversidade atrav?s dos tempos. Atualmente, a teoria reconhecida como sendo a mais ampla para explicar o funcionamento mental ? a C-H-C (Cattell-Horn-Carroll) . Dentre os testes dispon?veis internacionalmente, o ?nico que atende a esta proposta te?rica ? a Bateria Woodcock-Johnson III (WJ-IIII). Neste sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a validade convergente da Bateria de Habilidades Cognitivas Woodcock Johnson-III, comparando-a com a Escala Wechsler de Intelig?ncia para Crian?as WISC- III, que j? apresenta evidencias de validada para a nossa realidade. A amostra foi composta por 30 estudantes de escola p?blica do Ensino Fundamental e M?dio, sendo 15 homens e 15 mulheres com idades entre 13 e 15 anos. Foram aplicadas nos participantes, com a autoriza??o dos pais, as duas baterias de Habilidades Cognitivas WJ-III e WISC-III. Os resultados obtidos foram analisadas segundo a correla??o de Pearson e foi realizada a An?lise de Vari?ncia entre sexo e idade para cada instrumento. Os resultados apontaram para uma correla??o significativa entre a pontua??o total do Woodcock e a pontua??o total no WISC de 0,865, entre o Woodcock e a escala execu??o 0,766 e com a escala verbal 0,843. Com rela??o a An?lise de Vari?ncia, no instrumento WISC-III houve diferen?a significativa da Idade nos subtestes Completar Figuras e Cubos e de Sexo X Idade para o subteste Vocabul?rio. J? com o instrumento WJ-III houve diferen?as de Sexo X Idade somente para o subteste Compreens?o Verbal. Tais dados nos indicam que a Bateria de Habilidades Cognitivas Woodcock-Johnson- III- WJ-III permite uma avalia??o e um diagn?stico mais detalhado das v?rias habilidades cognitivas, podendo enriquecer ainda mais as possibilidades de instrumentos para avalia??o intelectual.

A questão problemática investigada é: quais as implicações que esse contexto multilíngue, bem como as AH/S podem trazer para a escolarização do sujeito? O histórico do percurso escolar analisado inicia-se no 1º ano e segue até o 9º ano do ensino fundamental, que compreende as idades entre seis e quatorze anos do sujeito. A pesquisa foi realizada em duas escolas localizadas em uma cidade do interior do Estado do Paraná, onde o sujeito reside com os pais e avós maternos. Os dados da pesquisa foram coletados por meio de entrevistas com professores, psicólogos, diretores, equipe pedagógica, familiares e com o próprio sujeito. Dados de outros estudos (STREIECHEN, 2014) também serão retomados com a finalidade de discutirmos questões linguísticas e escolares do sujeito em questão. Esta pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa, de cunho etnográfico, apoiada em um estudo de caso. A Análise Textual Discursiva (MORAES; GALIAZZI, 2016) foi a Metodologia utilizada para a análise dos dados, uma vez que esse modelo oferece a oportunidade de o pesquisador mergulhar, de um modo mais profundo, na interpretação dos dados, com o compromisso de gerar novas teorias e/ou pressupostos. A Psicanálise foi a Teoria utilizada para respaldar a análise dos dados, visto que essa abordagem aponta conceitos de interesse para a compreensão da relação professor/aluno, entre os quais está a importância da fala e do desejo do educando na aquisição do conhecimento, bem como da escuta mais atenta por parte dos docentes para conhecer o aluno em sua plenitude. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam, entre outros aspectos que: os desafios de aprendizagem do sujeito, nos anos iniciais, não foram relacionados às AH/S, pelo fato de os professores não as identificarem; seu modo peculiar de escrever não foi associado ao seu contexto multilinguístico e/ou às AH/S, mas tomada como erro, uma vez que os professores desconheciam as línguas que envolviam esse sujeito; a ênfase dos docentes estava mais inclinada às dificuldades e menos às habilidades desse aluno. Isso fez com que as dificuldades se acentuassem cada vez mais, levando o educando a desenvolver repúdio pela escola e um total desinteresse pelos estudos. Nossas conclusões inferem para a dificuldade que alguns docentes encontram ao se depararem com alunos com condições peculiares de aprendizagem, visto que, engessados em suas estratégias tradicionalistas e seculares, ficam impossibilitados de ouvir e conhecer o aluno, desconsiderando a vida que fica além dos muros da escola. Portanto, nossa tese é de que, por não carregarem o estereótipo da deficiência, tanto os alunos com AH/S quanto os filhos de pais surdos, tornam-se invisíveis aos olhos de muitos educadores, ficando à margem e fadados ao ‘fracasso’. Defenderemos, portanto, a importância de esses alunos receberem uma atenção especial, por parte da escola, a fim de que não sejam excluídos de um efetivo processo de ensino e aprendizagem. / This study aimed at analyzing the school trajectory of a hearing student, who: is bilingual with high abilities/giftedness (HA/G); has a deaf mother; lives in a familiar context, in which five languages are involved: Ukrainian, Polish, German, English, and Libras. The research question that guided this study was: what are the implications that this multilingual context, as well as the HA/G may have on the participant's schooling? The participant's school trajectory analyzed encompassed the period from 1st to 9th year of the elementary school, at which the participant’s age varied from six to fourteen years old. The study was conducted in two schools located in countryside of Paraná, where the participant resided with his parents and maternal grandparents. The data were collected through interviews with teachers, psychologists, principals, pedagogical staff, family members and the participant himself. Extra data from other studies (STREIECHEN, 2014) were also used in order to discuss the participant’s linguistic and school issues. This is a qualitative study, ethnographic in nature, supported by a case study. The Discursive Textual Analysis (MORAES; GALIAZZI, 2016) was the methodological framework adopted to analyze data in this study, considering that such framework allows the researcher to interpret the data further, with the commitment to generate new theories and/or assumptions. Psychoanalysis was the theory adopted to support data analysis, since this approach points out concepts of interest for comprehending the relationship between teacher and student, to cite: the importance of student's speech and desire to acquire knowledge, as well as of teacher's most attentive listening to become acquainted with a student in his/her amplitude. Results indicated, among other aspects, that: the participant's learning challenges, in the initial school years, were not related to the HA/G, since teachers did not identify such abilities; the participant's peculiar written style was not associated with his multilingual context and/or with the HA/G, but considered as erroneous, once the teachers were not acquainted with the languages experienced by the participant; the teachers' priority relied on the participant's difficulties rather than his abilities. The aspects aforementioned suggested that the participant' struggles intensified more and more, leading him to develop an antipathy for the school and a total indifference for studying. The conclusions pointed to the difficulty that some teachers encounter when they have to work with students with peculiar learning conditions. Such teachers, due to their traditionalist and secular strategies, are unable to listen and become acquainted with their students, disregarding their lives beyond the school walls. Therefore, the thesis of this study is that, because they do not carry the stereotype of disability, both students with HA/G and children of deaf parents become invisible in the eyes of many educators, being isolated and doomed to failure. This study highlights that these students should receive special attention in the scholar environment, so that they are not excluded from an effective teaching and learning process.
