The problem of this study consists of two phases: 1) to determine the relationship of a) sociometric status, and b) mental health, to intellectual level in a selected sample of sixth-grade children who entered school before the age of six; and 2) to determine the relationship of a) sociometric status, b) mental health, and c) attitudes toward school to the school entrance age in a selected sample of intellectually superior fifth and sixth-grade children who entered school at different ages.

This qualitative study investigates the consequences of advancing three preschoolers into kindergarten in the province of Quebec, where the derogation exemption enables younger children to start school before they reach the age of admission of five years by September 30th. The rationale for this study came from an interest to discover the perspectives of the students, their teachers, and their parents on the topic of derogation. This study examines how these students, one in grade 4 and two in grade 6, feel about being the youngest in the class, and how teachers and parents perceive them as learners and socializers. The research design is based on an exploratory qualitative case study approach. The methods used to collect the data consist of interviews conducted with the three selected students, their homeroom teachers, and two parents; observations of the students in their school settings, and the analysis of documents such as field notes and journal entries. The interviews are analyzed within a socio-cultural interpretive framework in order to examine the way that derogation has affected the social and emotional lives of the three selected children. Vygotsky's zone of proximal development is explored. This concept presents the idea that children develop their learning potential in a setting where they can learn with more capable peers and adults who provide guidance and support. When these younger children are advanced into a kindergarten class, they are placed in a setting with older peers and adult teachers. One of the issues addressed in this study is how the social milieu encourages derogated children to develop their cognitive approach to problem solving and learning. The themes that emerged from this study include the importance of parental support, peer acceptance, and self-esteem. The younger derogated students are more likely to experience success in their academic and social-emotional lives if they have good parental support, a

O manejo integrado, com ênfase no controle mecânico e a educação, tem sido defendido como uma proposta mais adequada e menos agressiva para o seu controle, evitando-se o uso indiscriminado de inseticidas. Este estudo avaliou o resultado de um manejo integrado no controle da pediculose capitis, no aspecto educacional e no controle mecânico ( penteação a úmido com pente fmo e catação) em uma comunidade escolar de Campinas, SP. Mediu-se a prevalência da pediculose capitis nesses escolares antes, durante e após um período de seis semanas da intervenção, assim como algumas variáveis epidemiológicas como idade, sexo, origem racial, tipo e comprimento dos cabelos. Foi realizada uma oficina com a direção, professores e famílias visando trabalhar a concepção em relação à pediculose e seu controle, assim como ampliar o conhecimento da infestação, seus riscos, tratamentos e o uso de controle mecânico com penteação a úmido. Realizou-se o trabalho educativo com os alunos em sala de aula, pelos professores e a pesquisadora. A concepção dos alunos quanto ao combate ao piolho da cabeça foi acompanhada nesse período através de manifestações livres impressas. Foram examinados 534 alunos na faixa etária de 6 a 10 anos com positividade de 13,1 %, a incidência no sexo feminino foi de 22,1% e no sexo masculino de 5,0%. Não houve diferença significativa na prevalência em relação aos tipos raciais e tipos de cabelos analisados. Após o trabalho educativo e de controle mecânico semanal por seis semanas, a prevalência caiu para 4,9 % (significância < 0,01, Teste de McNemar). O manejo integrado que envolveu o trabalho educativo voltado para a mudança de concepção quanto ao preconceito que envolve esse problema, relacionando-o à falta de higiene, ao uso indiscriminado de inseticidas e tratamentos individuais, assim como a valorização do controle mecânico semanal, mostrou-se muito eficiente no controle da pediculosecapitis desta comunidade escolar, evidenciada por uma diminuição da incidência da infestação. Em nova avaliação sobre a concepção de pediculose da cabeça e formas de controle que aconteceu em 2003, através de manifestações livres impressas para todas as séries e questionário aplicado a uma amostra de 88 escolares que fizeram parte do estudo em 2001, ficou evidenciado que essa comunidade escolar continuou apontando, porém em menor grau, uma conscientização quanto a não associação da pediculose à falta de higiene, porém se manteve a atitude quanto a ocultar a parasitose por vergonha ou receio. Quanto aos professores e direção da escola não houve a necessária disposição para dar continuidade a um trabalho por eles próprios apontado na época como necessário e eficiente. Esse resultado aponta para a possibilidade de se controlar essa ectoparasitose no meio escolar, de uma forma mais eficiente e com menos riscos, favorecendo a interação de toda a comunidade deste meio, já que privilegia o tratamento coletivo e o trato de concepções preconceituosas frente a um problema freqüente entre os escolares desta faixa etária / Abstract: Pediculosis capitis is a very common infestation in school children. Although it is a major worldwide problem, research and public health organs do not demonstrate any interest because it is not an important problem in tenns of morbidity-mortality. Integrated pest management involving mechanical control and education has proved to be the most adequate and least aggressive proposal for the control of this ectoparasitosis, since it avoids the indiscriminate use of insecticides. This study evaluated the results of an integrated pest management involving educational aspects and mechanical control (using a lice comb on humid hair to manually remove the lice and nits) in the control of pediculosis capitis in a school community in Campinas, Sao Paulo. The prevalence of pediculosis capitis in these children was evaluated before, during and afier the six week intervention period. Some epidemiological variables like age, sex, racial group, type and length of hair were also observed. A workshop was conducted with the teachers and school administration regarding infestation and its control , its risks, treatments as well as the mechanical control of this infestation with the lice comb. The teachers and researchers then conducted educational sessions in the classrooms. The students were free to express, in writing, their concepts in relation to the combat of head lice. In this study, 534 students, whose ages ranged from 6 to 10 years, were examined and the positivity was 13%. Prevalence among females was 22.1 % and among males 5.0%. There was no significant difference regarding prevalence in relation to racial types and types of hair. After conducting the educational sessions and six weeks of mechanical controI, the prevalence fell to down 4.9% (Significance = 0.00, McNemar's Test). Integrated pest management included educational work aimed at changing concepts that associate this problem with lack of hygiene, the indiscriminate use of insecticides and individual treatments as well as to hig Wight the effectiveness of a weekly mechanical control of capitis pediculosis in the school community, as proved by the reduced infestation. These results indicate the possibility of controlling the ectoparasitosis in schools more effectively and with fewer risks using this method, which favors community interaction, as it involves collective treatment, and resolves prejudicial concepts about a problem that is common in this age grou / Doutorado / Saude Coletiva / Doutor em Saude Coletiva

M.Ed. (Psychology of Education) / It appears that not much research has been done in the field regarding separation anxiety suffered by school beginners. The current political developments towards a fair multicultural education will cause a far greater (increased) emergence of this phenomenon as schools are now confronted with a mixture of different cultures and creeds with (overly concerned parents).while separation anxiety is manifested in the young school beginners. Due to this increased exposure and subsequent increased child anxiety. this study is designed to identify the root causes of this anxiety. and provide guidelines for an education programme for parents and teachers to identify and counteract this problem. The investigation into the causes and characteristics of separation anxiety was undertaken by means of studying literature. existing case studies and material related to the subject matter. Insight derived from practical teaching experience and the literature available was so adapted and refined to set guidelines and identify characteristics for a programme that would assist the parents and teachers to identify and through corrective action overcome and / or eliminate this problem...

The purpose of the study is to determine what degree of relationship exists between chronological age and performance in the first grade.
