The research described here was inspired by a national review which concluded that too many children come into our primary schools with unmet speech and language needs (Bercow, 2008). Teachers are in a position to identify language difficulties but many have expressed uncertainty regarding their role in this process. I believed that the LAMP (Linguistic Assessment for Mapped Provision) screen for language and communication which I had developed would help teachers to identify language concerns and would also increase their professional confidence in this complex area. I had developed the LAMP screening instrument and piloted it over a 2 year period prior to this study. It is employed here as a universal screen that is used in a whole school approach in order to enable teachers to identify language need. The use of the LAMP as a universal screen applied to all the children in a school lessened the likelihood of preconceived notions impacting upon teacher’s perceptions of need in the classroom. The LAMP data allowed schools to track the progress of individual children within a class and whole school context. Teachers need to be aware of any pre-conceptions they may have in relation to the performance of children from different socio economic circumstances. The hypothesis that poverty continues to provide the weightiest detrimental effects upon children’s language development was examined and within the parameters of this study was found to be contestable. Study design: A systematic survey was conducted over 4 Primary schools using the LAMP. Rich picture data was accessed from teacher questionnaires and focus groups involving participants from the schools in the study. The repeated measures design provided information on what teachers had learned in the period of reflection between the screenings. The use of a mixed methods repeated measures design helped me to understand what was difficult for teachers and what the teachers felt would help them. The 4 schools in the study were chosen to reflect varied social contexts in order to explore any impacts of SES on the results. Analysis of data: In a repeated measures design, a LAMP screen was completed for every child across the 4 schools by their teachers in February and then June in one school year. Results of screening were analysed and compared on a range of variables using SPSS. Questionnaires were used to collect teacher perceptions before and after using the LAMP screen. Focus groups were held in the schools at the end of the study to add more information on how helpful teachers felt the process had been in raising their awareness, confidence, and skills in the identification of SLCN. Findings: The main trend observed was a decrease in levels of teacher concern related to children’s speech and language needs from the first to second screening survey. Differences were found at a statistically significant level on a range of variables. The expected differences between high and low socio-economic status (SES) schools were not found. Teachers reported increases in their awareness, confidence, and skill in identifying children’s speech language and communication concerns by the end of the study. Some changes to classroom practice were reported. Conclusions: I propose that use of the LAMP screen increased teacher awareness of the nature of language difficulty and that this heightened awareness was a key variable in the observed changes to language concern scores. The LAMP screening process was seen by schools’ staff to have had a positive effect on teacher’s skills and to be relatively easily assimilated into the school system. However some participants identified a number of challenges relating to time constraints and maintaining the use of LAMP as high profile in the context of competing time demands in their schools. It is suggested that EP services would be in a position to support schools to implement and embed the LAMP screening model as part of their Service provision. It is also proposed that economic deprivation or disadvantage did not appear to be the only important factor to consider when making funding decisions intended to support children’s linguistic competency in schools.

Esta pesquisa apresenta como objeto de estudo a prática profissional de psicólogos no Ensino Fundamental desenvolvida na rede privada de educação. Para tanto, teve por objetivo analisar modos de inserção de psicólogos que atuam em escolas particulares, tomando o materialismo histórico-dialético enquanto base interpretativa de análise. Compreendemos a prática profissional de psicólogos produzida em um sistema educacional que, ao se constituir na rede privada de ensino, expressa um conjunto de contradições, desafios e impasses para uma atuação ético-política da profissão, no campo da Educação Básica. Algumas questões orientaram a pesquisa: quais práticas psicológicas podem ser desenvolvidas em uma rede de ensino que vive as contradições do mercado para sua manutenção? Como as proposições da área de Psicologia Escolar, centradas em referenciais críticos e institucionais, comparecem nessas organizações de ensino? Quais desafios e entraves se defrontam psicólogos em sua prática profissional ao atuarem em escolas de educação privada? Assim, buscamos conhecer e analisar: a) condições de trabalho em que a atuação de psicólogos se desenvolve; b) modalidades de atuação/intervenção e teorias que embasam suas práticas; c) expectativas daqueles que contratam psicólogos no que tange ao trabalho a ser desenvolvido em escolas da rede privada de ensino; d) desafios e estratégias construídas para a superação das contradições apontadas em sua prática profissional. O campo de investigação contou com depoimentos de dez psicólogos, por meio de entrevistas em profundidade, e de cinco contratantes (duas coordenadoras pedagógicas e três diretores). Oito dos psicólogos são formados por instituições privadas de ensino superior, apenas um é do sexo masculino e a maioria apresenta entre quarenta e cinquenta anos, sendo que o tempo de trabalho varia de 30 a 5 anos. Organizamos os dados em dois eixos de análise: condições de trabalho e atividades profissionais desenvolvidas. No primeiro eixo, identificamos que a contratação de psicólogos para atuar nas escolas ocorre, preferencialmente, por indicação e que parte significativa dos entrevistados é contratada como orientador educacional. De maneira geral, as condições de trabalho são consideradas satisfatórias no que tange ao salário e à carga horária de trabalho, entre 30 e 40 horas semanais. Consideram como dificuldades o que denominam como sensação de falta de tempo para atuar como gostariam e o trabalho junto a professores ou família dos estudantes. Quanto ao segundo eixo, verificou-se que grande parte dos psicólogos ao atuar como orientador educacional, centra sua prática em atendimento aos estudantes, pais e professores, individualmente, utilizando referenciais da Psicanálise e da Psicologia Comportamental, pouco recorrendo ao conhecimento teórico-metodológico da Psicologia Escolar e Educacional e aos teóricos da Psicologia da Educação para atuarem. Os psicólogos afirmam não realizar atendimento clínico (avaliação/psicoterapia) nas escolas. Práticas que incluem discussões ou temáticas da Psicologia Escolar e Educacional foram mencionadas em relatos a respeito de aspectos institucionais e relacionais envolvidos nas práticas pedagógicas, de determinados diagnósticos de estudantes que são encaminhados aos profissionais, bem como em críticas ao processo de medicalização da aprendizagem. Uma atuação aos moldes tradicionais perpassa a expectativa dos contratantes à medida em que esperam de psicólogos auxílio na solução de problemas: buscando orientar os pais, o próprio aluno e realizando encaminhamento para profissionais especializados ou aulas de reforço/aulas particulares, em casos de dificuldade na aprendizagem. O trabalho em equipe é valorizado, o que compreendemos ser uma condição fundamental para educadores e psicólogo(s) trabalharem juntos os desafios que surgem. Adotamos por base o Documento Referências Técnicas para Atuação de Psicólogas(os) na Educação Básica que apresenta princípios ético-políticos para a atuação de psicólogos nacionalmente e princípios da abordagem da Psicologia Histórico-Cultural para propor determinadas condições para uma atuação em uma perspectiva histórico-crítica. Assim, defendemos a tese que o psicólogo ao adotar essa perspectiva estará se comprometendo com críticas ao caráter meramente adaptativo de estudantes e educadores à escola e promovendo ações na direção da transformação que se expressa por abrir possibilidades de superação e mudança nas ações/práticas para uma compreensão institucional de produção do conhecimento, visando garantir as finalidades da escola, seja pública ou privada. No caso dos profissionais das escolas privadas, os desafios recaem mais fortemente sobre a modalidade de contratação que, ao retirar o caráter específico da Psicologia Escolar e Educacional, delimita um outro campo de atuação mais diretamente centrado em interpretações e práticas de cunho pedagógico e individual, historicamente presentes nas atribuições do orientador educacional / This research has its object of study the work of psychologists in primary education developed in the private education network. Therefore, it aimed to analyze psychologists modes of insertion who work in private schools, taking the historical and dialectical materialism as interpretative analysis base. We understand the work of psychologists, produced in a educational system constituted of private schools, expressed a set of contradictions, challenges and dilemmas for an ethical-political activity of the profession in the field of basic education. Some questions guided the research: which psychological practices can be developed in a school system that lives the contradictions of the market for its maintenance? How the propositions of School Psychology area, focusing on critical and institutional frameworks, attend these educational organizations? What challenges and obstacles face psychologists in their professional practice in private education schools? So, we seek to understand and analyze: a) working conditions in which practicing psychologists develops; b) modes of action / intervention and theories that support their practices; c) expectations of those which hire psychologists regarding the work to be developed in the private school system; d) challenges and strategies built to overcome the contradictions pointed out in their professional practice. The field investigation included in-depth interviews with ten psychologists, and five contractors (two pedagogical coordinators and three directors). Eight psychologists have been trained by private higher education institutions, only one is male and most was between forty and fifty years, and the working time varies from 30 to 5 years. Data was organized in two analysis axis: working conditions and developed professional activities. The first axis identified that psychologists hiring occur preferably by referral and that a significant proportion of respondents are hired as school counselors. In general, the working conditions are considered satisfactory with respect to wages and working hours, which are around 30 and 40 hours per week. The mentioned difficulties were a sense of lack of time to act as they would like and work with teachers or students family. In the second axis, it was found that most psychologists when acting as counselors, focus their practices on service to students, parents and teachers, individually, using references of Psychoanalysis and Behavioral Psychology, and using few theoretical and methodological knowledge of School and Educational Psychology and of Educational Psychology theorists when acting. Psychologists say they do not perform clinical care (assessment / psychotherapy) in schools. Practices that include discussions or issues of Educational and School Psychology were mentioned in reports of institutional and relational aspects involved in teaching practices of certain diagnoses of students who are referred to professionals as well as a critique of the process of the medicalization of learning. A performance to traditional mold permeates the expectation of contractors as they wait psychologists to aid in problem solving: trying to guide parents, students themselves and making referrals to practitioners or tutoring / private lessons, in cases of difficulty in learning. The teamwork is valued, what we understand to be a fundamental condition for educators and psychologist(s) work together the challenges that could arise. The document \"Technical References for Psychologists acting in Basic Education\" was our foundation since it presents ethical and political principles for psychologists work all around the country and principles of the Historic-Cultural Psychological approach to propose certain conditions for working with a historic-critical perspective. Thus, we defend the thesis that the psychologist in adopting this perspective, will be committing to making critiques of merely adaptive character of students and educators to school and promoting actions towards the transformation that is expressed by possibilities of overcoming and changing actions / practices for an institutional understanding of knowledge production, to ensure the school\'s purposes, whether be it public or private. In the case of professionals from private schools, the challenges fall more heavily on the type of contract that, by removing the specific character of Educational and School Psychology, marks another playing field more directly focused on interpretations and educational nature and individual practices, historically present in the tasks of the counselor

The thesis deals with the question whether social work is a good educational base for further specialization in psychotherapy. This question seeks to answer using the argument of current world trends, historical context and monitoring competence of the European psychotherapist. To help these areas compared with the current psychology and wonders what is the difference between these fields and how these differences manifest themselves in psychotherapy.

The procedure called Matching-To-Sample (or MTS) is usually used in the construction of methods for teaching academic repertoires such as reading, to diverse populations, based on the stimulus equivalence paradigm. With advances in computer, programs were developed for the implementation of MTS tasks using the computer. These programs are widely used in researches, however, broadening the potential of this technology depends on its use in applied settings such as schools. In this case, an existing question refers to which repertoires are necessary for an individual with no formal training in research and without knowledge about the theoretical and methodological assumptions of the area of Behavior Analysis to implement successfully matching-to-sample procedures to teach children in applied settings, such as school. Thus, from a systematic replication of the study in progress, developed by Oliveira (2010), this study aimed to program and evaluates a teaching program of undergraduate students for the implementation of the computerized procedure Matching-To-Sample through two studies, described below. In Study 1, participants were four undergraduate students. Initially, a set of three stimuli was used to teach participants to: (1) program AC (dictated word-printed word) training; (2) implement AC training; and (3) analyze data performance of the learner. The procedure consisted of teaching demonstration followed by instruction to repeat the demonstration. Verbal praise following correct answers and incorrect answers end of the trial and replay of the demonstration. The performance criterion was 100% correct responses. Later, generalization tests were conducted with three new sets of stimuli. Consequences for performance differentials were removed and the performance criterion was 100% correct answers. Study 2 involving three new participants and modification of the teaching procedure. It was conducted in a manner analogous to that described in Study 1, except as provided below. Before the teaching sessions, sessions were held to baseline: (1) program AC training; (2) implement AC training; and (3) analyze data performance of the learner. The sessions were performed as described in Study 1, except that differential consequences for performance have been removed. After, teaching sessions were introduced with a demonstration followed by instruction to repeat the demonstration. Correct answers were followed by verbal praise and incorrect answers within the "Retry" and a new opportunity to respond, unlike Study 1. Criterion to finish sessions was 100% of correct responses. Next, participants were presented with generalization tests. During testing sessions, there were no scheduled consequences for participant responses. Criterion to finish the session was 100% of correct responses. According to the results of Studies 1 and 2, all participants met criterion in the three phases of training and showed generalization of repertoire to news sets of stimuli. Results showed that the procedure may be used as a sound basis for the development of a program for teachers. The results suggest that the procedure may be efficient to teach teachers to implement Matching-To-Sample procedures, extending the technology derived from Behavior Analysis Applied to applied settings, 4 such as classrooms and schools. Furthermore, this study could leverage future research with similar goals. / De acordo com o paradigma de equivalência de estímulos, a leitura pode ser compreendida como uma rede de relações entre diferentes classes de estímulos, em que algumas são diretamente ensinadas e outras derivadas desse ensino. O procedimento de escolha de acordo com o modelo (ou MTS, do inglês, Matching-To-Sample) é usualmente utilizado na construção de métodos para o ensino de repertórios acadêmicos, como leitura, a diversas populações, tendo como base o paradigma de equivalência de estímulos. Com os avanços da informática, programas foram desenvolvidos para a implementação de tarefas de MTS usando o computador. Esses programas são amplamente utilizados em pesquisas, entretanto, a ampliação do potencial dessa tecnologia depende de seu uso em contextos aplicados, como escolas. Nesse caso, uma questão existente refere-se a quais os repertórios necessários para que um indivíduo sem treino formal em pesquisa e sem conhecimentos prévios acerca dos pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos da área de Análise do Comportamento implemente, com êxito, procedimentos de MTS para ensinar aprendizes em contextos aplicados, como o ambiente escolar. Dessa maneira, partindo de uma replicação sistemática do estudo, em andamento, desenvolvido por Oliveira (2010), este trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver e avaliar uma programação de ensino de graduandos para a aplicação computadorizada do procedimento de MTS, por meio de dois estudos, descritos a seguir. No Estudo 1, foram participantes da pesquisa quatro estudantes universitários. Inicialmente, um conjunto de três estímulos foi utilizado para ensinar os participantes a: (1) elaborar tarefas de ensino da relação AC (palavra ditada-palavra impressa); (2) aplicar tarefas de ensino da relação AC; e (3) analisar relatório de desempenho do aprendiz. O procedimento de ensino compreendeu demonstração seguida de instrução para repetir a demonstração. Respostas corretas seguiram elogio verbal e respostas incorretas término da tentativa e reapresentação da demonstração. O critério de desempenho foi de 100% de respostas corretas. Em seguida, foram conduzidos testes de generalização com três novos conjuntos de estímulos. Consequências diferenciais para desempenho foram removidas e o critério de desempenho foi de 100% de respostas corretas. O Estudo 2, proposto em seguida, consistiu de replicação sistemática do Estudo 1, envolvendo três novos participantes e modificação do procedimento de ensino. Foi conduzido de maneira análoga ao descrito no Estudo 1, à exceção do apresentado a seguir. Antes do início das sessões de ensino, foram realizadas sessões de linha de base para: (1) elaboração da tarefa de ensino de AC; (2) aplicação da tarefa de ensino de AC; e (3) análise do relatório de desempenho do aprendiz. As sessões foram realizadas como descrito no Estudo 1, à exceção de que consequências diferenciais para desempenho foram removidas. Após, sessões de ensino foram introduzidas com demonstração seguida de instrução para repetir a demonstração. Respostas corretas foram seguidas de elogio verbal e respostas incorretas da instrução Tente novamente e nova oportunidade para responder, diferentemente do Estudo 1. O critério para término das sessões foi de 100% de respostas corretas. De acordo com os resultados dos Estudos 1 e 2, todos os participantes aprenderam a elaborar e aplicar tarefas de MTS e analisar relatório de desempenho da aprendiz e, além disso, apresentaram generalização de repertório para novos conjuntos de estímulos. Os dados sugerem que o procedimento pode dar base à construção de programas de ensino de professores leigos em Análise do Comportamento e treino em pesquisa para a implementação de procedimentos de MTS computadorizados, estendendo a tecnologia derivada da Análise do Comportamento para ambientes aplicados, como salas de aulas e escolas. Além disso, este estudo poderá alavancar pesquisas futuras com objetivos afins.

The centralised control over curriculum framing and pedagogy, the generally poor quality of teaching with little sensitivity to children’s sociocultural environment; and very high drop out rates, even at the primary school level, are some of the challenges facing school education in many of the regions of India. However, one of the successful approaches to these challenges has been the Digantar school system, working in rural communities. The study is based in one Digantar School in Rajasthan and employs concepts derived from the Vygotskian tradition to interrogate the methods employed in Digantar school system. The study took Edwards’ (2010a, 2011, 2012) idea of common knowledge and Hedegaard’s (2008, 2012, 2013) idea of institutional demand in practices as conceptual lenses through which to investigate the components of the pedagogical practices that help Digantar teachers to align the motives of the school with those of the child in classroom activities. In doing so it analyses the institutional practices that lead to the development of common knowledge that in turn facilitates how teachers engage pupils as learners. Data were gathered over six months and comprised around 120 hours of school-based video data together with interviews and detailed observations with teachers and community members. Data were gathered in classrooms, teacher meetings, meetings between parents and teachers and at school-community meetings. Analyses focused on the construction of common knowledge and the use made of it by the school to achieve a mutual alignment of motives between the practices of the school with the community and the families. The study has revealed that teachers’ engagement with the knowledge and motives of other teachers and community members helped to create common knowledge, i.e. an understanding of what mattered for each participating group, which facilitated teaching-learning in the school. The analysis also points towards a form of democracy, which enhances children’s participation in their learning. It was found that building and sharing of common knowledge and creating a socially articulated ‘space of reasons’ (Derry 2008) produced a pedagogical model that engaged children in creating their social situation of development, seeking and recognising the curriculum demands being placed on them.

This paper aimed at investigating how educators of public schools for children dealt with the different sleep and/or vigil rhythms of these children; nevertheless, an analysis of the collected data showed us that there were other practices that have also remained unchanged and that are part of the institutional routine of these children. It is, therefore, of vital importance to re-examine the educational background of those professionals who are responsible for young children. In fact, the data collected shows that there is a waste of time that could be used in a more productive way in terms of how these children develop and learn. As time is not used adequately, there is no progress and the objectives of Children Education tend to be minimized. We hope results shown here will make it possible to debate in depth such an important issue which has not been properly studied yet / O sono é uma atividade de caráter cristalizado nas instituições de Educação Infantil de atendimento à criança de 0 à 3 anos. Este trabalho teve por objetivo investigar como os educadores de uma escola pública de Educação Infantil lidavam com os diferentes ritmos de sono e vigília das crianças de 0 à 3 anos. No entanto, a análise dos dados coletados permitiu identificar, além das respostas buscadas, várias outras práticas cristalizadas, que engendram a rotina institucional das crianças. É urgente e necessário repensar a formação profissional daqueles que atuam junto à criança pequena. De fato, os dados revelam desperdício de um tempo precioso, que poderia ser utilizado em prol do desenvolvimento e da aprendizagem da clientela. Como isso não ocorre, os propósitos da instituição são desvirtuados e o papel da Educação Infantil tende a ser desvalorizado. Espera-se que os resultados aqui alcançados permitam aprofundar e discutir um assunto importante, ainda não devidamente estudado

The theoretical part comprehends the review of the concepts related to the emotion and the interdependence among cognition, emotion, affect and mathematical learning to make this section many authors were searched. According to those mentioned in the work, the emotion presents itself in an inseparable in the work, the emotion presents itself in an inseparable way from cognition and learning. This dynamics of relations was searched through interviews with teenagers facing learning difficulties. Through the work, it was possible to demonstrate that a set of emotions and feelings may or may not be mobilized to learning. From the reflection about this set, some hypotheses were made about how to minimize, from the affect, the learning difficulties showed by the students / Acredita-se que a perspectiva afetiva não representa a única vertente do fracasso escolar. Os problemas de aprendizagem são múltiplos e diversos, e os fatores causais também. Fatores como problemas de comunicação, diferenças culturais e lingüísticas, baixo nível de instrução da família, falta de oportunidade de desenvolvimento, privação de estimulação, currículos inadequados, distúrbios psiconeurológicos, por exemplo, são responsáveis por algumas das causas referentes à alta percentagem de problemas de aprendizagem nas populações. Com este trabalho pretende-se chamar a atenção para a vida afetiva dos estudantes como um fator importante no processo de ensino-aprendizagem da matemática. Pretende-se, também, demonstrar como a emoção está presente nos problemas de aprendizagem matemática, qual a sua dinâmica nas relações de sala de aula e como é possível inverter os padrões emocionais autodestrutivos que podem comandar a vida escolar do estudante. O tema é a matemática emocional. A parte teórica compreende a revisão dos conceitos relativos à emoção e a interdependência entre cognição, emoção, afeto e aprendizagem matemática. Para essa parte consultaram-se diversos autores. Segundo alguns autores citados no trabalho, a emoção apresenta-se de maneira inseparável da cognição e da aprendizagem. Essa dinâmica de relações foi investigada e percebemos algumas raízes das dificuldades de aprendizagem. Através do trabalho foi possível demonstrar que a trama de emoções e de sentimentos podem ou não mobilizar para a aprendizagem. Partindo da reflexão sobre essa trama elaboraram-se algumas hipóteses de como minimizar, a partir do afeto, as dificuldades de aprendizagem apresentadas pelos estudantes

This thesis examines the possibilities of linking the interest in a child (a participant in interest education in the field of education of leisure) with the interest in achieving the goals of various leisure education activities, as well as the goals being (co)determined by the child itself. The thesis strives to find the solution in a method in which an activity goal of the child is transformed into a goal of the tutor with the intention of encouraging the child's personal development. The thesis is divided into four chapters.The first chapter deals with educational goals and the goals of leisure education.The following chapter explores the goals of education as set by various pedagogical conceptions and alternative approaches to the isme. The third chapter acquaints the reader with the psychological potential of the target group.The last chapter is dedicated to the growth of child's potential, its ability of free choice and decision making, expressions of creativity, and the "flow" state.
