The problem in this experiment is to try to determine if the use of certain materials during the first semester of the first school year of a group of children will cause the intelligence quotients and achievements of these children to improve.

The correlation between home environment and educational performance is addressed in this study.

Con la reducción de los niveles de plomo en sangre desde una media de 3,8 μg/dL que tenían los niños de la Comunidad de Madrid en el año 1995 a una media de 1,1 μg/dL que tienen en al año 2010, se han dejado de perder entre 135.391 y 144.153 puntos de cociente intelectual (CI) entre los niños de 7-8 años, sin tener en cuenta los puntos que se pierden en el tramo por debajo de los 2,4 μg/dL, que a fecha de hoy, no está cuantificado. La capacidad de producción ganada a lo largo de la vida laboral (o los beneficios obtenidos derivados de la disminución de los niveles de plomo en la sangre de los niños de la Comunidad de Madrid), se estima en un abanico que se encontraría entre los 626,4 y los 865,4 millones de euros para toda la vida laboral de los niños de la cohorte de 7-8 años de edad. / With the reduction in blood lead levels from a mean of 3.8 mg / dL who were children of the Community of Madrid in 1995 to an average of 1.1 mg / dL who are in the year 2010, have stopped losing between 135,391 and 144,153 points of intelligence quotient (IQ) among children aged 7-8 years, regardless of the points lost in the section below 2.4 mg / dL, which date, not quantified. Production capacity gained throughout working life (or proceeds derived from the reduction of lead levels in the blood of the children of the Community of Madrid), is estimated in a range that would be among the 626,4 to 865,4 million euros for the entire career of the cohort of children 7-8 years old.

The purposes of the study were: (1) To determine the relation of the ratings of the students in activities in the physical education program by physical education instructors and the General Motor Capacity Scores made by the students; (2) To determine the relation of the physical education grades and the General Motor Capacity Scores of the students; (3) To determine the relation of the physical education grades and the academic grades of the students; (4) To determine the relation of the Intelligence Quotients and the General Motor Capacity Scores of the students; (5) To determine the relation of the academic grades and the General Motor Capacity Scores of the students.

This thesis resulted from an examination conducted to determine teacher ability to identify individual student capability based on rapport between the two parties.

This thesis presents student case studies from a third grade class at an Albany, Texas elementary school. Students with insecurity issues are described and remedial treatments are suggested.

Health professionals are especially concerned with the care of low birth weight children. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, birth weight below 2500 grams is considered as low. Low birth weight has been found to place the child s future emotional, intellectual, and learning development at risk. Some studies have shown that, on the average, during the preschool phase, premature and low birth weight children evince lower cognitive performance than their normal weight peers. OBJECTIVES. Ascertain the epidemiological and neurological profile of premature, low birth weight children evaluated in a hospital school in Sao Luis, Maranhão. METHODS: A cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach to birth cohort in 2001 of newborns admitted to the Hospital Unit of the Maternal and Child HUUFMA. Researchers recorded 45 records, only 27 of these children participated in the study was conducted using survey data from medical records and was applied to Scale WISC III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. Based on findings, although the children sampled were from low-income families, their average total IQ (WISC-III) was in the normal range. Within the children sample there were no significant differences between Verbal and Performance IQ. No significant dependence relationship between epidemiological variables and preterm low birth weight.CONCLUSION: Regardless of birth weight, without severe complications during pregnancy and childbirth, the child can develop their cognitive intellectual, their social and cognitive social skills in a satisfactory and harmonious, (provided that adequately stimulated and under the guidance of skilled professionals), the same way that passes the development of children born at term and normal birth weight. / INTRODUÇÃO: É grande o interesse de profissionais da área da Saúde para com os cuidados com crianças que nascem com baixo peso. Segundo a OMS (Organização Mundial de Saúde), são consideradas de baixo peso, crianças nascidas com peso ≤ 2.500g. As habilidades intelectuais, sociais e emocionais são necessárias para o bom desempenho escolar. Déficits de desenvolvimento se tornam especialmente evidentes quando as crianças atingem a idade pré-escolar, indicando que crianças que foram bebês prematuros de baixo peso ao nascimento têm desempenho escolar significativamente pior em relação a crianças da mesma idade. OBJETIVOS: Determinar o perfil epidemiológico e neuropsicológico de crianças prematuras, com baixo peso, assistidas em um hospital maternidade escola de São Luís, Maranhão. METODOLOGIA: Realizou-se estudo transversal com abordagem quantitativa, com coorte de nascimento no ano de 2001 de recém nascidos internados no Hospital Universitário Unidade Materno-Infantil do HUUFMA. Pesquisou-se 45 prontuários, destas crianças apenas 27 participaram do estudo, realizou-se levantamento de dados através dos prontuários e foi aplicada a Escala WISC III. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: Na pesquisa realizada os pais das crianças apresentavam nível sócio-econômico baixo, mas as crianças, em sua maioria apresentaram QI Total na categoria média na Escala WISC III; não foi encontrada nenhuma diferença estatística em QI Verbal, QI de execução e QI total dos grupos estudados, nem relação de dependência significativa entre variáveis epidemiológicas e prematuridade com baixo peso. CONCLUSÃO: Independente do peso ao nascer, sem intercorrências graves durante a gravidez e parto, a criança pode desenvolver seu cognitivo intelectual, seu cognitivo social e suas habilidades sociais de forma satisfatória e harmônica, (desde que estimuladas adequadamente e sob orientação de profissionais especializados), da mesma forma que transcorre o desenvolvimento de crianças que nascem a termo e com peso normal ao nascer.

The problem of this investigation was to make a rating of the following factors which pertain to boys in three distinct residential districts of the W. C. Stripling Junior High School, Fort Worth, Texas: (1) intelligence quotient, (2) civic attitude, (3) academic achievements, (4) Sunday school attendance, (5) club membership, (6) after-school employment, and (7) the number of broken homes.

The problem set forth in this study is to determine the relationship of certain factors to the popularity of students in the eighth grade of the Junior High School at Ozona, Texas. The factors to be considered in this study are as follows: 1. The socio-economic status of the parents; 2. Each of the factors measured by the California Test of Personality; 3. The intelligence quotient; 4. Scholastic achievement; 5. The length of family residence in the community; 6. Physical attractiveness of the students as evaluated by three teachers; 7. Athletic ability as evaluated by the physical education teachers; 8. Conduct in the classroom as evaluated by the home room teacher.
