The purposes of this study were (1) to determine if learning to program a computer in either BASIC or Logo improves the problem-solving skills of fifth grade students when compared to a control group that receives no programming instruction, and (2) to determine if learning to program a computer in Logo is more effective than learning to program in BASIC for improving problem-solving skills in fifth grade students. Subjects were 132 fifth graders from two suburban elementary schools. The materials used in the study were the Computer Challenge Guide for the BASIC group and Logo in the Classroom for the Logo group. The New Jersey Test of Reasoning Skills was used as the pretest and posttest measure.

It was also objective to verify if those children still infringe rules of the relationship between phoneme and grapheme as well as position rules, morphologic, etymological and accentuation. One hundred and fifty (150) children of the fifth grade of the elementary school in a public school of the city of São Paulo participated in this study. In order to evaluate the writing, a dictation was applied and composed by 145 words. The results indicate that children of the fifth grade still made a significant number of orthographic mistakes, and these include mistakes that infringe the phonology / A pesquisa teve como objetivo principal conhecer e analisar a freqüência e os tipos de violações ortográficas que se manifestam na escrita de um grupo de alunos. Também foi objetivo verificar se essas crianças ainda infringem regras da relação entre fonema e grafema bem como regras de posição, morfológicas, etimológicas e acentuação. Participaram do estudo 150 crianças da quinta série do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública estadual da cidade de São Paulo. Para avaliar a escrita, foi aplicado um ditado composto de 145 palavras.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of 10 minutes of daily exposure for 10 weeks to a Chinese Music Curriculum and its effect on generating positive cultural attitudes towards the Chinese people, improving tonal discrimination skills, singing accuracy of tonal patterns, and accuracy of singing Chinese lyrics for third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students, compared to a comparison group not receiving the Chinese Music Curriculum. In an elementary school in Miami-Dade County, Florida, 6 third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade classes were chosen and randomly assigned to either an intervention or a comparison group. A Chinese Music Curriculum was developed for the intervention group and implemented by classroom teachers. Meanwhile, the comparison group received normal academic instruction and a weekly music class by a music specialist. Pre- and post-tests were administered to both the intervention and comparison groups: (1) Children's Attitudes toward Chinese (CATC), (2) Intermediate Measures of Music Audiation-Tonal (IMMA, Gordon, 1982), and (3) Tonal Pattern Performance Measure (TPPM). The Chinese Song Performance Measure (CSPM) was administered to the intervention group only in order to measure students' abilities for accurately singing the Chinese lyrics of a simple Chinese song, "Little Rat." Data were subjected to a mixed Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) statistical analysis, item analysis, and Pearson Product-Moment correlation. The results demonstrated that the CATC survey was a reliable and valid measure to assess children's attitudes toward Chinese people. The overall effect of the Chinese Music Curriculum was significant in combination of the three outcome measures: CATC, IMMA, and TPPM. The follow-up individual examination revealed that children's attitudes toward Chinese people and tonal pattern singing accuracy were significantly improved, but tonal discrimination skills did not improve. Grade was found to influence children's singing accuracy of tonal patterns with fifth graders outperforming the third and fourth graders. All participants in the intervention group were able to sing a Chinese song with over 70% accuracy of the Chinese lyrics.

Ano do Ensino Fundamental a partir das falas de duas professoras da Escola Municipal Luiz Anselmo e das escritas de cinquenta e quatro docentes das mais diversas escolas da rede municipal de Salvador. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir de uma abordagem quali-quantitativa, que acontece em dois momentos. A primeira fase foi realizada na Escola Municipal Luiz Anselmo, localizada no bairro de Luiz Anselmo, em Salvador/BA, a partir de entrevistas com duas docentes, observações do cotidiano escolar, das salas de aula das docentes e da escrita de um Jornal de Pesquisa. A segunda fase contou, como principal instrumento de coleta de dados, com um questionário aplicado em 35 escolas municipais da cidade, escolhidas aleatoriamente. Ao final percebe-se que as professoras da Rede de Educação do município de Salvador/BA reconhecem que é necessária uma mudança na forma como os conteúdos são selecionados e no modo como estão sendo trabalhados em sala de aula. Deixam transparecer que, mesmo desesperançadas, em alguns momentos, em outros espaços-tempos, buscam trazer para suas salas de aula recursos e metodologias diversas e enriquecedoras que tornem, em suas óticas, as aulas de História prazerosas. / ABSTRACT The text "Weaving knowledge and practices: the history taught in the fifth grade of elementary school in the city of Salvador/BA" was built in line with a survey that aims to understand how the discipline History is organized in fifth grade everyday classroom of elementary school based on two teachers view of the Municipal School Luiz Anselmo and on the writings of 54 teachers from different schools of Salvador. The research was developed based on a qualitative and quantitative approach, which takes place in two phases. The first phase was held at the Municipal School Luiz Anselmo, located in the neighborhood of Luiz Anselmo, in Salvador/BA, from interviews with two teachers, observations of daily life, the classrooms of teachers, and the writing of a Research Newspaper.

The purpose of this action research study was to investigate the affects of teaching through a situative perspective with story problems on students' understanding of fraction concepts and operations in my fifth-grade mathematics classroom. Students participated in twelve weeks of instruction. Data was collected in the form of pre and post tests, audiotaped and videotaped recordings of instructional sessions, and student work samples. Data analysis revealed that my students constructed their own knowledge about various fraction concepts and operations because students engaged in discussions, after solving story problems, that developed, extended and restructured their knowledge. One example of this occurred after students had solved an equal-sharing problem. Two students came up with different answers and another student explained why both answers were equivalent. Student work samples and post test results indicated that the one student's explanation was understood, adopted and extended by all the students in my class. The data also revealed that students' pictures typically represented the context and action of the story problems. For example, subtraction problems dealing with length were usually represented by number lines or horizontal rectangles with crossed-out markings to show the subtraction operation. Throughout this research study, I discovered that my students were capable of learning from each other and solving problems for which they have no preconceived algorithm. I also learned that analyzing students' work and listening to their discussions in ways that focused on their thinking, not their answers, provided me with information about what my students were grasping and not grasping.
