However, this is a consequence of worry with the body, with the biological aspects, that have been followed the way of physical education during the last decades. Recently, based on theoretical presupposed with strong mark, an integrating vision of human being have been configured, defending the interlacement between cognitive, affective and motor aspects, beyond the significance of the aspects for the construction of knowledge process. This research arose from the inquietude about the affectivity in the pedagogic relation in the Physical Education Graduation Courses. The aim of this study was to identify the feelings and emotions from the teachers in the pedagogic relation and which situations were responsible to cause it. The Henri Wallon e Lev S. Vygotski theory were the theoretical reference for this research, beause they developed theories about developement, Their contribution have been very important for the affectivity study in the instruction-learning process. The information were collected through the reflexive interview, being as participants of this study, two teachers (man and woman) that minister theoretical and practice classes in the Physical Education Graduation Courses. The results indicated pleasant feelings like realization and pleasure to be teaching in the Graduation Courses and also confidence given by the students about their jobs. Unpleasant feelings like anguish, anxiety, timidity, fear and angry in the most different situations during the relationship with their students also were identified. The woman teacher verbalized the emotions as, palpitation and tremor during situations that is necessary to be exposed. The man teacher do not indicated any emotion. Without of any intention of generalize the results, in the statistics pattern of the results, this research had as limitation to study the affectivity in the instruction-learning process, bringing a reflection about the constitution process in the subjective manifestation of teachers, looking forward to understand their necessities / Na área da Educação Física o número de pesquisas envolvendo os processos cognitivos e biológicos, principalmente em fisiologia do exercício, desenvolvimento e controle motor, lazer e recreação, é consideravelmente maior que as pesquisas envolvendo estudos sobre a afetividade. De certa forma, isto é conseqüência da preocupação com o corpo, com os aspectos biológicos, que acompanham a trajetória da Educação Física durante algumas décadas. Mais recentemente, a partir de pressupostos teóricos com forte marca social, tem se configurado uma visão integradora do ser humano, defendendo o entrelaçamento entre os aspectos cognitivo, afetivo e motor, além da relevância destes aspectos para o processo de construção do conhecimento. Esta pesquisa surgiu das inquietações acerca da afetividade na relação pedagógica nos cursos de Formação de Professores de Educação Física. O objetivo do estudo foi identificar os sentimentos e emoções dos professores formadores na relação pedagógica e quais as situações indutoras desses sentimentos e emoções. As teorias de Henri Wallon e Lev S. Vygotski foram o referencial teórico desta pesquisa, por desenvolverem teorias do desenvolvimento, suas contribuições têm sido muito importante para o estudo da afetividade no processo ensino-aprendizagem. As informações foram coletadas através de entrevista reflexiva ou recorrente, tendo como participante deste estudo, um professor e uma professora que ministram aulas, de disciplinas teórico-prático, num Curso de Formação de Professores. Os resultados apontaram sentimentos de tonalidades agradáveis como realização e prazer de estar na docência no Curso de Formação, e confiança depositada pelos alunos no seu trabalho. Sentimentos de tonalidades desagradáveis como angústia, ansiedade, timidez, medo e raiva nas mais diversas situações de relacionamento com seus alunos. A professora verbalizou as emoções sentidas como, palpitações e tremor em situações que tem que se expor, e o professor não nomeou nenhuma emoção. Desprovida da intenção de generalizações dos resultados encontrados, nos moldes da estatística, dos resultados encontrados, esta pesquisa limitou-se a estudar à afetividade no processo ensino-aprendizagem, trazendo uma reflexão sobre o processo de constituição das manifestações subjetivas dos Professores Formadores, procurando assim entender suas necessidades

No. of bitstreams: 1 Karina Midori Ishimori.pdf: 960025 bytes, checksum: b914c91f0bb1c18cb88d9c6fc436e314 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006-03-09 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / The purpose of this paper (research) is to analyze how one feels and what it means to be of Asian descent in Brazil for adolescents who are unhappy with their phenotypic characteristics. The fundamental phenotype of having "slanted eyes" denounces one as a foreigner in Brazil aside from the fact that one is indeed Brazilian. In his daily life, the Nikkei adolescent is often reminded of his ethnicity by the majority of the population: he is called Japanese. It is assumed that there is a duality for being and feeling Brazilian or Japanese and this experience, made clear through the physical features (characteristics), incites thoughts that must be more deeply understood. To do so, the history of the Japanese immigration to Brazil was reconstructed until currently to contextualize the conditions (reasons) that made them migrate, the conditions that they found upon arrival, the ancestral culture that was carried with them, and how today they act within Brazilian society. Next, the concepts of ethnic and national identity of Asian adolescent descent in Brazil and the difficulty in establishing a bigger or smaller pattern of integration of such people in the social reality of Brazil were exposed. After that, it was also contextualized the body today, the importance of physical characteristics as a means to differentiate individuals in Brazil, and finally the body in historical and dialectal materialism. The methodological and theoretical suppositions of this research are from socio-historical psychology that is based in the cultural-historical psychology of Vigotski. The data was collected in a private elementary and junior high school that primarily serves the Japanese community in São Paulo. In the first phase, the method used was a questionnaire given to junior high students in their 2nd or 3rd year to get to know the students and then select them. The second phase was comprised of interviews with two Nikkei adolescents who belong to the third generation of Japanese migrants and are between 16 and 17 years old. The analysis of the interviews allowed for the identification of the movement and process of the subjective construction of these adolescents in their bicultural experiences. In this regard, it became clear that they live with a constant feeling of not belonging to neither the Occidental nor the Oriental worlds, which is closely related to the way they define (use) their own bodies. / Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar os sentidos e significados do ter e ser um corpo oriental em adolescentes nipo-brasileiros insatisfeitos com suas características fenotípicas. A fenotipia fundamental de possuir olhos puxados o denuncia como estrangeiro no Brasil apesar de ser brasileiro por direito. O adolescente nikkei em seu cotidiano é sempre lembrado de sua etnia pela maioria da população: ele é chamado de japonês . Parte-se do pressuposto de que há uma vivência dual de ser e sentir-se brasileiro ou japonês e essa experiência evidenciada pelas características corporais sugere reflexões a serem conhecidas de maneira aprofundada. Para tanto, foi reconstruída a história da imigração japonesa para o Brasil até os dias atuais para poder contextualizar as condições que os fizeram migrar, assim como as condições encontradas, a cultura ancestral que os nikkeis carregam, e como hoje eles circulam na sociedade brasileira. Em seguida, foram expostos os conceitos de identidade étnica e nacional de adolescentes nipo-brasileiros e a dificuldade em se estabelecer um padrão de maior ou menor integração destes na realidade social brasileira. Depois disso, também se contextualizou o corpo na atualidade, a importância das características corporais como forma de diferenciação entre indivíduos no Brasil e, finalmente, a corporeidade no materialismo histórico e dialético. Os pressupostos teóricos-metodológicos deste trabalho são da Psicologia Sócio-Histórica que toma como base a Psicologia Histórico-Cultural de Vigotski. A coleta de dados foi realizada em uma escola particular de ensino fundamental e médio que atende principalmente a comunidade japonesa de São Paulo. O método utilizado foi composto numa primeira fase pela aplicação de um questionário em estudantes do 2° e 3° anos do ensino médio para um conhecimento inicial visando a seleção dos sujeitos. A segunda fase se caracterizou por entrevistas semi-abertas com duas adolescentes nikkeis, pertencentes à terceira geração de japoneses entre 16 e 17 anos. A análise das entrevistas permitiu identificar o movimento e processo de construção subjetiva destas adolescentes em suas experiências da biculturalidade. Nesse sentido, percebeu-se que elas vivem um constante sentimento de não pertencimento em relação ao mundo ocidental e oriental que estão intrinsecamente relacionadas na maneira como significam seus próprios corpos.

Objectives. Evaluate differences in depressive symptoms, compare sociodemographic and health-related variables associated with depressive symptoms and report level of impact of depressive symptoms on daily activities. Methods. Cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) diagnostic survey on 1115 patients aged 60–93 years who attended a primary care clinic in Korea, Russia or USA. Results. At least mild depression (PHQ-9 score of ≥5) occurred in 28% of Koreans, 65% of Russian and 27% of US participants. Russians scored more depressed on all PHQ-9 items (P < 0.01) and more suicidal thoughts (P < 0.001), while Koreans had less feelings of worthlessness (P < 0.001). Depression predictors included poorer self-rated health [odds ratio (OR) 2.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.84–3.33, P < 0.0001], chronic diseases (OR 1.34, CI 1.21–1.48, P < 0.0001), female gender (OR 1.56, CI 1.15–2.12, P = 0.0046) and religious attendance (OR 0.88, CI 0.79–0.97, P = 0.0099) for all subjects. Being employed was protective in Korea (OR 0.41, CI 0.21–0.77, P = 0.0061) and being married (OR 0.42, CI 0.27–0.66, P = 0.0002) and of older age (OR 0.95, CI 0.93–0.98, P = 0.0006) protective in US participants. Vascular disease was associated with depressive symptoms in Russia (OR 3.47, CI 1.23–9.80, P = 0.0187). In regression analyses stratified by country for a given level of depressive symptoms, the Russian sample had less impact on daily activities (Russia R2 = 0.107 versus Korea R2 = 0.211 and US R2 = 0.419) P = 0.029. Conclusions. Depressive symptoms were more common in Russia than in Korea and USA but had less impact on daily functioning. Cultural or environmental factors may account for this finding.

Denna studie syftar att undersöka huruvida animation som visuellt komplement på Spotify väcker större engagemang emotionellt än ett statiskt skivomslag. Animerade filmer har tagits fram till sex olika låtar på albumet 99.9% av artisten Kaytranada. Detta har gjorts genom en förstudie i form av en enkät, samt research om de befintliga filmer som finns tillgängliga på Spotify i dagsläget. Efter detta har designarbetet utförts genom brainstorming, explorativt skissande och storyboards. För att utvärdera skapades en värderingsmatris med syfte att välja ut de mest engagerande idéerna, för att sedan fortsätta med digitalt skissande och slutligen animering. Efter detta värderades animationerna gentemot det statiska skivomslaget genom en kvalitativ enkät, såväl som två olika fokusgrupper. Resultatet visade att även om animationerna ansågs något repetitiva så ansåg en majoritet att de var mer engagerande emotionellt än ett statiskt skivomslag.

Este estudio responde a una necesidad social y al interés de profesionales de la actividad físico-deportiva por conocer la situación y condiciones sociales y familiares en la que viven los adultos mayores de 60 años del municipio de Tapachula Chiapas, México. Encontramos que en nuestro país (México) existen pocas investigaciones empíricas que aborden y describan las características y condiciones morfofuncionales y psicológicas de los sujetos de la tercera edad. En esta investigación se aportan datos sobre la situación sociodemográfica: estado civil, actividad laboral, nivel de estudios y condiciones económica, así como comportamientos, factores y correlatos ante la práctica físico-deportiva en tres momentos de la vida: etapa de dependencia familiar (desde la niñez hasta la formación de familia propia), etapa de independencia familiar (desde el matrimonio hasta que cumple los 59 años) y etapa de adulto mayor (mayor de 60 años), lo que nos permitió analizar la evolució n de los comportamientos de esta población.En concreto, se han recogido datos sobre lo que realizan práctica físico-deportiva, los que han abandonado y los que nunca han practicado actividades físico-deportivas, así como los motivos por los que tienen estos comportamientos y la autopercepción que poseen de su práctica física, su condición física y su salud.Como conclusión se puede afirmar que nuestra población tiene un alto nivel de analfabetismo, causado por un estancamiento de casi medio siglo, que los hábitos y los comportamientos han permanecido inamovibles, probablemente por la incipiente formación inicial del profesor de Educación Física que tiene un papel determinante en la formación de hábitos, llevando a esta población a tener muy baja tasa de practicantes de actividades físico-deportivas de tiempo libre y con algunos problemas de salud. Los mo-tivos de práctica se modifican con el paso de los años, en la etapa de la juventud se relacionan con los motivos intrínsecos. Sin embargo, en la etapa de adulto mayor de 60 años se vinculan, principalmente, con motivos extrínsecos relacionándose fuertemente con el sexo, nivel de estudios y situación económica. Pero el abandono y la total inactividad física se ligan con los motivos intrínsecos, como la salud y la enfermedad. / This study responds to a social necessity and to the interest of professionals of the physical-sport activity to know the social and familiar situation and conditions in which the adults live majors on 60 years of the municipality of Tapachula Chiapas, Mexico. We find that in our country (Mexico) few empirical investigations exist that approach and describe to the characteristics and morfofunctional and psychological conditions of the subjects of the third age. In this investigation data are contributed on the sociodemographic situation: civil state, economic labor activity, level of studies and conditions, as well as behaviors, factors and correlates before the physical-sport practice at three moments of the life: stage of familiar dependency (from the childhood to the formation of own family), stage of familiar independence (from the marriage until it turns the 59 years) and stage of greater adult (greater of 60 years), which allowed us to analyze the evolution of the behaviors of this population. In particular, data have taken shelter exceeds what they realize physical-sport practice, those that have left and those that never have practiced physical-sport activities, as well as the reasons by which have these behaviors and the self perception that they own of his physical practice, his physical training conditions and its health. As conclusion can be affirmed that our population almost half has a high level of illiteracy, caused by a stagnation of century, that the habits and the behaviors remained unremovable, probably by the incipient initial formation of the professor of Physical education that has a determining paper in the formation of habits, taking to this population to have very low rate of medical instructors of physical-sport activities of free time and with some problems of health. The reasons for practice modify with the passage of the years, in the stage of youth are related to the intrinsic reasons. Nevertheless, in the stage of greater adult of 60 years they tie, mainly, with extrinsic reasons being related strongly to sex, level of studies and economic situation. But the abandonment and the total physical inactivity league together with the intrinsic reasons, like the health and the disease.

La présente étude vise à examiner dans quelle mesure le sexe ainsi que les caractéristiques comportementales et relationnelles des agresseurs permettent de rendre compte de l’augmentation, sur une période d’un an, du sentiment de solitude chez les victimes de harcèlement par les pairs au secondaire. L’échantillon est composé de 538 élèves de secondaire I et II de la région de Montréal. Au cours de deux années consécutives, le niveau de victimisation des élèves ainsi que l’identité et les caractéristiques des agresseurs (i.e.: sexe, agressivité, popularité et victimisation) ont été évalués à partir de mesures auto-révélées et de procédures de nominations par les pairs. Les résultats démontrent, qu’au-delà de la fréquence à laquelle les élèves sont victimisés, le sexe des agresseurs permet de rendre compte de l’augmentation à travers le temps du sentiment de solitude chez les filles et les garçons. Plus spécifiquement, le nombre d’agresseurs féminins identifiés par les élèves constitue un facteur de risque étroitement lié au développement du sentiment de solitude. Par ailleurs, les caractéristiques des agresseurs ne sont pas associées à l’accroissement du sentiment de solitude à travers le temps. Cependant, le fait de se faire agresser par des élèves qui présentent des difficultés d’ajustement social importantes (i.e. : agressifs et victimisés) est associé de manière concomitante à un moins fort sentiment de solitude. La discussion aborde les processus intra- et interpersonnels permettant d’expliquer pourquoi les sentiments de solitude associés à la victimisation par les pairs sont susceptibles de varier en fonction des caractéristiques des agresseurs. / The goal of the present study is to examine to what extend bullies’ behavioral and relational characteristics account for changes over time in loneliness feelings among victimized middle school students. The sample was composed of 538 grade 7 and 8 students from two middle schools in Montreal. During two consecutive years, students’ level of victimization and bullies’ characteristics (gender, aggressive behaviors, popularity and victimization) were evaluated with self-reported measures and peer nominations. Results show that, beyond the frequency to which students are victimized, bullies’ gender was associated with an increase over a one year period in loneliness feelings for girls and boys. Specifically, the number of females bullies identified by the students, constitutes a risk factor closely linked to the development of loneliness feelings. Moreover, the behavioral and relational characteristics of the bullies were not associated with an increase over time of loneliness feelings. However, being bullied by students characterized by social adjustment difficulties (aggressive and victimized bullies) was negatively associated with concurrent loneliness feelings. The discussion highlights the intra- and interpersonal processes explaining why the loneliness feelings linked to victimization by peers are likely to vary according to the bullies’ characteristics.

Cette recherche porte sur l’amélioration de la motivation à l’apprentissage des mathématiques à l’Université Abdou Moumouni. Elle se situe dans une dynamique globale de mise au point d’actions pédagogiques pour remédier au problème préoccupant de la motivation à l’apprentissage des sciences. Plus spécifiquement, il s’agit de prospecter si les environnements virtuels d’apprentissage peuvent contribuer à l’amélioration de la transmission des savoirs dans un contexte universitaire au Niger. Ainsi, notre recherche vise à mieux comprendre l’impact de l’intégration des TIC sur la motivation chez des étudiants à apprendre les mathématiques au Niger. Les trois objectifs spécifiques de notre recherche sont : explorer les impacts sur le sentiment de compétence chez des étudiants à l’apprentissage des mathématiques dans un contexte d’intégration pédagogique des TIC; mieux comprendre le changement des types de motivations autodéterminées à l’apprentissage des mathématiques chez des étudiants exposés à une intégration pédagogique des TIC; comprendre les perceptions de l’usage d’un environnement virtuel à l’apprentissage des mathématiques chez des étudiants et l’évolution de leurs motivations autodéterminées. Se fondant sur une méthodologie de type mixte, cette recherche quasi-expérimentale a consisté en la collecte de données quantitatives au moyen de 2 questionnaires sur la motivation (sentiment de compétence et sentiment d’autodétermination) en pré-test et en post-test. Pour les données qualitatives, nous avons eu recours à des entrevues dirigées auprès de 9 participants. Au total 61 étudiants inscrits en science de la vie et de la terre, dont 51 hommes, ont participé à la recherche. La thèse respecte le mode de présentation par articles. Chacun des trois articles est en lien avec un des trois objectifs de la recherche, dans l’ordre cité plus haut. Les principaux résultats indiquent un impact positif sur la motivation à travers un recul du sentiment négatif de compétence chez les étudiants ayant bénéficié de l’apport des TIC comparativement aux étudiants ordinaires. En ce qui concerne le sentiment d’autodétermination, chez les étudiants ayant bénéficié de l’apport pédagogique des TIC, il est mis en évidence une stagnation ou une légère baisse des motivations peu ou pas autodéterminées et une légère hausse ou une stagnation des motivations autodéterminées chez les étudiants ayant bénéficié de l’apport des TIC. Finalement, la recherche a permis de mettre en relief l'existence de corrélations positives entre l’augmentation des motivations autodéterminées et la perception d’une qualité positive de l’expérience d'innovation pédagogique que représente l’environnement virtuel d’apprentissage des mathématiques. En définitive, cette recherche fait ressortir l’importance de l'intégration pédagogique des TIC pour améliorer les pratiques pédagogiques actuelles, et satisfaire deux besoins psychologiques fondamentaux, notamment le sentiment de compétence et le sentiment d’autodétermination, deux composantes essentielles de la motivation selon la théorie de l’autodétermination de Deci et Ryan. Les résultats obtenus dégagent des perspectives intéressantes en vue de renforcer les recours aux environnements virtuels d'apprentissage au profit de la motivation à l'apprentissage des mathématiques. Les forces et les limites de la recherche sont discutées et un ensemble de recommandations sont émises à l’intention des acteurs académiques, notamment les perspectives assez prometteuses de l’intégration pédagogique des TIC au service de l'apprentissage des sciences en Afrique, et au Niger en particulier. / This study focuses on enhancing motivation for learning mathematics at the University Abdou Moumouni. It is situated in a dynamic development of educational activities to address the serious problem of motivation for learning science. More specifically, it is exploring whether virtual learning environments can contribute effectively to improving the transmission of knowledge at university level in Niger. Thus, our research aims to better understand the impact of the integration of ICT on student motivation to learn mathematics in Niger. The three specific objectives of our research are: to explore the impact on sense of competence in students learning of mathematics in the context of integration of ICT, and better understand the change of self-determined types of motivation towards learning of mathematics in students exposed to integration of ICT; understand the perceptions of the use of a virtual environment for learning mathematics among students and their evolving self-determined motivation. Based on a methodology of mixed type, this quasi-experimental research has included the collection of quantitative data by means of 2 questionnaires on motivation (sense of competence and self-feeling) in pretest and posttest. For qualitative data, we used structured interviews with 9 participants. A total of 61 students enrolled in life science and earth, including 51 men, participated in the research. The thesis meets the format articles. All three articles are related to one of three research objectives in the order mentioned above. The main results indicate a positive impact on motivation through a decrease in the negative sense of competence among students who have benefited from the contribution of ICT compared to regular students. With regard to feelings of self-determination among students who benefited from the contribution of ICT, it is clearly demonstrated in a stagnation or decline in average little or no self-determined motivation and a slight increase or stagnation of the reasons self-determined in students who have benefited from the contribution of ICT. Finally, research has helped to highlight the existence of significant positive correlations between increased self-determined motivation and perceived quality of the positive experience of pedagogical innovation that represents the virtual learning mathematics. Definitively, this research highlights the importance of integration of ICT to improve current teaching practices, and meet two basic psychological needs, including perceived competence and feeling of self-determination, two main components of motivation according to the self-determination theory of Deci and Ryan. The results show interesting perspectives for strengthening the use of virtual learning environments for the benefit of the motivation for learning mathematics. The strengths and limitations of the research are discussed and a set of recommendations are made for academic actors, for instance the promising prospects of pedagogical integration of ICT for learning science in Africa, and specially in Niger.

There is scant research concerning youth development programmes specifically from Adler's (1968) Individual Psychology perspective. Current programmes seem to be void of critical issues that are important in the local context because of their having a strong bias towards the Western perspective. Thus, the present research project sought firstly to assist the Previously Disadvantaged Youth (PDY) to develop constructive lifestyles characterised by self-mastery, encouragement, creativity and social interest. Secondly, it aimed to obtain specific local African input that would help expand the current Personal Life Planning Programme (PLPP) to one that addresses the unique needs and circumstances confronting South African PDYs today. Finally, it attempted to test the validity, scope and merit of Adler's theoretical assertion, within the context of the previously disadvantaged communities in South Africa, that all humans are engaged in a lifelong striving for superiority to overcome perpetual feelings of inferiority and life tasks. The latter objectives were addressed through the implementation of the PLPP. The study, as well as the related PLPP, is strongly founded on Adler's Individual Psychology (Adler, 1968; Ansbacher & Ansbacher 1956; Corsini & Wedding, 2005; Meyer et al., 2003; Prochaska & Narcross cited in Osborn, 2001). The relevant data were collected from a sample of matriculants from the PDY population living in a black township near Pretoria. The information was collected by means of the PLPP workbook; semi structured interviews, as well as, audiovisual equipment. A combination of a "Pre-structured Case Outline" and the related "Sequential Analysis" (Miles & Huberman, 1994, p. 85) was adopted, with the researcher undertaking the entire data management process. In addition to confirming the applicability of Adler's theory within the PDY context, the findings suggest that the research objectives were significantly met, i.e. the participants reported and displayed marked lifestyle improvements along with specific life skills development needs related to their deprivation. / Psychology / D.
