The EF play an important role in initial school processes and are an underlying aspect of learning and achieving good academic performance. Consequently, intervention programs have been developed to stimulate executive skills in the school setting. However, few studies focus on psychoeducation and effective training for teachers to stimulate the EF in school. The objectives of this thesis were to identify EF subcomponents and their development in children from 6 to 12 years of age, and to create and analyze the effects of an early and preventive neuropsychological intervention program. The program focused on training educators to stimulate the EF in 2nd and 3rd grade children. The first study explored which factors, as well as which cognitive, executive, and linguistic components are subjacent to performance scores in executive tasks. It also analyzed how children with ages from 6 to 12 years old develop such executive components. The final sample has 109 children with average age of 10.32 years old (SD=1.79) who were assessed through the following EF tasks: verbal fluency, Hayling Sentence Completion Test for children (HSCT-C), narrative discourse (ND), and Bells cancellation test. The results identified a model with three factors: (1) Factor 1: verbal executive component (language, working memory in the discursive process, verbal initiation, and planning); (2) Factor 2: cognitive flexibility and processing speed; and (3) Factor 3: inhibitory control. Age seemed to influence the development of the verbal executive factor, but not the development of cognitive flexibility, suggesting a gradual evolution for the latter. There was an increment in inhibitory control among younger children in comparison to older ones. These results are important to support the elaboration of effective intervention measures that stimulate the EF during childhood, both in clinical and in school settings. The second study presented the development process and content validity evidences of the CENA ? early and preventive neuropsychological intervention training program for educators focused on EF and attention. The development of this program involved three different stages: research and theoretical assumptions (neuropsychology and education), construction of the program and brainstorming sessions with the authors, and expert referee analysis. The CENA was suitable with respect to its objectives, structure, language, and method, presenting evidences of content validity. The third 10 study examined the effect of the CENA on 2nd and 3rd grade children. The final sample had 19 teachers (EG=10 and CG=9) and 64 children (EG=32 and CG=32) who were assessed before and after the completion of the program. In the post-intervention analysis, there was an increase in performance of tasks involving arithmetic skills favoring children in the experimental group, indicating a transfer effect to the school setting. Some EF tasks were better performed by children in the control group. After the intervention, teachers in the experimental group showed greater appropriation of the contents addressed by the program. They also presented an improved ability to observe the executive and behavioral functioning of the children, especially with respect to concepts worked during the intervention (planning, inhibitory control, and working memory). The results of the three studies, in an integrated way, contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge at the interface of neuropsychology and education. They provide insight about both the development of EF subcomponents during childhood and the elaboration of an innovative early and preventive intervention program. Such program went through a rigorous validation and construction process and yielded results that suggest effectiveness. For future studies, the authors suggest the analysis of development curves of executive components with larger samples, and with association of verbal and visuospatial tasks. It is also recommended that the CENA be adapted to other school grades, especially in public schools. The CENA should benefit from a longer period and more systematic methods for execution and evaluation, providing an effective contribution of neuropsychology to education. / No atual contexto da neuropsicologia, as fun??es executivas (FE) vem sendo cada vez mais investigadas com o intuito de melhor compreender como se desenvolvem os processos executivos na inf?ncia. As FE possuem um importante papel nos processos escolares iniciais, sendo consideradas fundamentais para a aprendizagem e bom desempenho acad?mico. Em consequ?ncia, programas de interven??o v?m sendo desenvolvidos com o objetivo de estimular as habilidades executivas no contexto educacional. No entanto, ainda s?o escassos os estudos que tenham por meta a psicoeduca??o e a capacita??o efetiva de professores para estimula??o das FE em ?mbito escolar. A presente tese teve como objetivo caracterizar subcomponentes de FE no que tange ao seu desenvolvimento em crian?as de 6 a 12 anos, assim como construir e verificar efeitos de um programa de interven??o neuropsicol?gica precoce-preventiva de capacita??o de educadores para estimula??o das FE em crian?as do 2? e 3? ano do Ensino Fundamental (EF). No primeiro estudo, buscou-se investigar quais fatores e componentes cognitivos, executivos e ling??sticos est?o subjacentes aos escores de desempenho em tarefas executivas e verificar como crian?as de 6 a 12 anos desenvolvem estes componentes executivos. A amostra final foi composta por 109 crian?as com idade m?dia de 10,32 (DP=1,79) que foram avaliadas em tarefas de flu?ncia verbal, teste Hayling-Inf, tarefa de discurso narrativo oral (DNO) e teste de cancelamento dos Sinos.Os resultados identificaram um modelo de tr?s fatores, caracterizado por: (1) Fator 1: componente executivo verbal (linguagem, mem?ria de trabalho no processamento discursivo, inicia??o verbal e planejamento); (2) Fator 2: flexibilidade cognitiva e velocidade de processamento e (3) Fator 3: controle inibit?rio. Observou-se que a idade pareceu influenciar no desenvolvimento do fator executivo verbal e n?o influenciou no fator flexibilidade cognitiva e velocidade de processamento, sugerindo uma evolu??o mais gradativa deste ?ltimo fator. Observou-se um incremento no controle inibit?rio nas crian?as menores quando comparadas com as crian?as de mais idade, Considera-se a import?ncia destes resultados para subsidiar a elabora??o de medidas de interven??o para estimula??o das FE na inf?ncia em ?mbito cl?nico e escolar. O Estudo 2 apresentou o processo de desenvolvimento e evid?ncia de validade de conte?do do CENA ? Programa de interven??o neuropsicol?gica precoce-preventiva para capacita??o de educadores com ?nfase em FE e aten??o. O desenvolvimento 7 do programa envolveu tr?s etapas distintas: pesquisa a pressupostos te?ricos (neuropsicologia e educa??o); constru??o do programa e brainstorming entre autores e an?lise de ju?zes. O CENA mostrou adequa??o em rela??o aos seus objetivos, estrutura, linguagem e m?todo, apresentando evid?ncia de validade de conte?do. O Estudo 3 teve como objetivo verificar o efeito do CENA em crian?as do 2? e 3? ano do EF. A amostra final foi composta 19 professores (GE=10 e GC=9) e 64 crian?as (GE=32 e GC=32), que foram avaliadas antes e ap?s o t?rmino do programa. Na an?lise p?s interven??o, verificou-se um incremento no desempenho em tarefa que envolve habilidades aritm?ticas favorecendo as crian?as do grupo experimental, indicando um efeito de transfer?ncia para uma situa??o de contexto escolar. Em algumas medidas de FE, foi observado um melhor desempenho das crian?as do grupo controle. Ap?s a interven??o, foi constatada uma maior apropria??o das professoras do grupo experimental sobre os temas trabalhados no programa. Verificou-se que as professoras do grupo experimental demonstraram maior observa??o sobre o funcionamento executivo e comportamental das crian?as, em especial, no que se referiu aos construtos trabalhados na interven??o (planejamento, controle inibit?rio e mem?ria de trabalho). Observa-se que os resultados dos tr?s estudos, de forma integrada, contribuem para o avan?o do conhecimento cient?fico na interface da neuropsicologia e educa??o, propiciando um maior conhecimento acerca do desenvolvimento dos subcomponentes de FE na inf?ncia, bem como, em rela??o ao desenvolvimento de um programa de interven??o precoce-preventiva inovador, caracterizado por um processo de constru??o e valida??o rigoroso, e com alguns resultados sugestivos de efetividade. Sugere-se, para futuros estudos, a an?lise de curvas de desenvolvimento de componentes executivos com amostras maiores e com associa??o de tarefas verbais e visuoespaciais. Recomenda-se, ainda, a adapta??o e implementa??o do CENA para os demais anos escolares, em especial, de escolas p?blicas,com maior per?odo de tempo e m?todos mais sistematizados para sua execu??o e avalia??o, oportunizando uma contribui??o efetiva da neuropsicologia para a ?rea da educa??o.
