O objeto de nosso estudo foi a ação do Estado voltada à Educação Infantil, por isso buscamos primeiramente entender o papel desempenhado pelo Estado frente ao pensamento liberal e neoliberal para posteriormente descrevermos como esse atendimento se organizou no país. Nosso trabalho se desenvolveu no sentido de conhecer a organização pública e gratuita para acolhida à criança pequena e de compreender como as políticas educacionais foram formuladas em um município, do estado de São Paulo, durante o período em que o Brasil esteve inserido no reordenamento e nos ajustes neoliberais. O trabalho de campo envolveu o levantamento de dados quantitativos e qualitativos, por meio de planilhas para levantamento do número de matrículas na rede pública, de entrevistas e de questionários com os atores sociais envolvidos no processo. Os resultados expressaram as novas formas pelas quais, na década de 1990, a esfera pública respondeu às demandas sociais e explicitaram que as decisões tomadas sofreram influência do cenário político e das ordenações neoliberais. / Abstract: The research aimed at the identification of the neoliberal principles of decentralization, focalization and privatization in the municipal organization to the offer of places to the Primary Education in the political setting of 1990's. The object of our study was the action of the State in the face of the Primary Education, so we first tried to understand the part performed by the State with relation to the liberal and neoliberal thought, and then describe how this service was organized in the country. We developed our assignment in order to get to know the public and free organization to the welcome to little children and to understand how the educational policies were drawn up in a city, in the state of São Paulo, during the period which Brazil had been inside of the neoliberal reordering and adjustments. The fieldwork involved the survey of the quantitative and qualitative data through spreadsheets, in order to know the number of registrations in the public education, and the interviews and questionnaires with social factors involved in the process. The results showed the new ways which the public sphere dealt with the social demands in the 1990's and made explicit that the political setting and the neoliberal ordinances had influence on the decisions that were made. / Mestrado / Educação, Sociedade e Cultura / Mestre em Educação

The purpose of the study was to examine changes in cardiovascular function and neuromuscular performance of primary grade girls after a six-week treatment program. The Kraus-Weber Tests and modified Harvard Step Test were administered to sixty-seven subjects before and after the treatment program, which consisted of exercises and running for the experimental group and sedentary games for the control group. None of the significant differences in recovery heart rate or the Kraus-Weber tests could be attributed to the treatment program. The length of training program was apparently not enough to detect change in fitness level of the subjects. A need exists for exercise tests that are more meaningful and more easily administered.

The main aim of this dissertation was to examine the status of Physical Education for senior primary girls in KwaZulu-Natal. Two sets of questionnaires were used to acquire information from Physical Education teachers and management staff involved in supervision of Physical Education at primary schools. The data obtained were then analysed. • To determine the degree of constructive guidance given in the teaching of senior primary Physical Education by school management • To determine whether physical educators are suitably qualified • To determine whether Physical Education forms part of the core curriculum at school • To make a historical comparative study of the development of Physical Education in primary schools and in KwaZulu-Natal in particular • To determine whether schools have the necessary resources needed in order to teach Physical Education • To make recommendations for the improvement of teaching Physical Education in the senior primary phase in the primary schools of KwaZulu-Natal The main findings of this study were as follows: • Presently there are only 28% of Physical Education specialists teaching Physical Education • The majority (60%) of the educators teaching Physical Education to senior primary learners is males • That about 36% of the educators do not actually teach Physical Education during the Physical Education lesson • An overwhelming majority (100%) of Physical Education educators indicated that they were not supervised in the last 36 months. Some go far back as seven to ten years • A little more than half (58%) of the schools had specialists in school- but they were classroom-based educators. Several recommendations are made out of these findings ranging from making Physical Education part of the core curriculum, ensuring Physical Education is taught by a specialist educator, providing facilities and equipment, supervising of Physical Education and the role of the Physical Education subject advisors. It is expected that such recommendations, if implemented, would contribute towards the elimination of problems that face Physical Education specialists and in improving the status quo of 'Physical Education. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Humanities Education / MEd / Unrestricted
