This research searched to analyse how management activities are developed at the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte Campus São Paulo do Potengi (IFRN SPP) and how they approach the model proposed by Senge. For this purpose, the research acquired a quantitative and qualitative approach with descriptive focus based on case study. Interviews were conducted and administered questionnaire with 17 managers and responsibles for units. Some variables were chosen with the purpose to characterize the institute as a Learning Organization. The results indicated the practices of managers of IFRN-SPP are not in complete agreement with the proposed model, since it was identifield an unbalance among the five disciplines, especially the Fifth Discipline which exposed the worst performance being followed by the Shared Vision. However, since were two disciplines with High Degree of agreement and with a Medium Level of agreement if the theme is well worked in the institution, the performance of subjects who had unfavourable outcomes could be improved and the IFRN-SPP will have chances to be a Learner Institution. / Este trabalho teve como aporte teórico o modelo da Quinta Disciplina, desenvolvido pelo autor Peter Senge. Essa pesquisa buscou analisar como as atividades gerenciais são desenvolvidas no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte Campus São Paulo do Potengi (IFRN SPP) e como elas se aproximam do modelo proposto por Senge. Para tanto, a pesquisa assumiu uma abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, com enfoque descritivo, baseado em estudo de caso. Foram realizadas entrevistas e aplicado questionário com 17 gestores e responsáveis por unidades. Algumas variáveis foram escolhidas visando caracterizar o instituto como uma Organização que Aprende. Os resultados indicaram que as práticas dos gestores do IFRN SPP não estão plenamente de acordo com o modelo proposto, pois se identificou que existe um desequilíbrio entre as cinco disciplinas, sobretudo, a Quinta Disciplina apresentou o pior desempenho, seguida da disciplina da Visão Compartilhada. Entretanto, como existiram duas disciplinas com Alto Grau de concordância e uma com Médio Grau de concordância, caso o tema seja bem trabalhado na instituição, o desempenho das disciplinas que apresentaram resultados desfavoráveis poderá ser aperfeiçoado e o IFRN SPP terá chances de ser uma Instituição Aprendente.

Chat communication has been investigated within the frames of 5thD (Fifth Dimension). The study is based in field-material from two chat sessions, between children in Ronneby-Barcelona and Ronneby-Denver. During the chats there was plenty of interaction between children and, assistants, which is illustrated with the help of patterns of communication. The analysis of the data shows that chat is more than an interaction between two persons, it even connects two social settings. The thesis also deals with the question of how to create meaningful chat, since this did not occur in an entirely satisfactory way during the above-mentioned chats.

The present research was an investigation of the effects of computer assisted instruction as a supplement to classroom instruction in reading and arithmetic. The purposes of this study were to determine the effectiveness of microcomputer usage in supplemental reading comprehension and math instruction. Utilizing an elaboration of the pre-test, posttest control group design, 66 fifth graders completed the 4-month study. One-way analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data.

The problem of this study is to determine what degree of relationship exists between a group of fifth-grade children's play interests, their mental ability, and their social behavior.

The purpose of this study is to offer some proof toward helping to determine the effect of departmentalization on achievement and social adjustment of fifth-grade pupils, and to determine the best possible means by which pupils in the fifth grade may become well-rounded, socially adjusted individuals, capable of self-expression, independent thinking, and proper attitudes.

The purpose of the study is to make a comparison of the achievement and personality traits of a selected group of pupils to determine differences and relationships existing between these important factors, and to study their significance for the classroom teacher.
