xiv, 218 p. : ill. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / The current study evaluated whether a manualized training in functional behavioral assessment (FBA) would result in typical school professionals being able to conduct a procedurally adequate FBA with a technically accurate summary statement for student behavior. Additionally, the study examined whether summary statements obtained by trained school staff were validated by formal functional analyses. The efficiency and social validity of the FBA training process was also investigated through use of an acceptability rating questionnaire and a log to document time expended by each participant. Twelve school professionals participated in Practical FBA trainings that consisted of four 1-hour training sessions guided by a training manual. A post-test analysis of FBA knowledge content indicated that the trainees ended training with the knowledge and skill needed to conduct FBAs. Ten of the 12 professionals completed formal FBAs that were then submitted to validation via functional analysis. Results of the 10 functional analyses confirmed that all 10 school professionals accurately identified the antecedents and maintaining function of student behavior. All FBAs conducted by trained school professionals were considered procedurally adequate. The average time expended by participants in completing an FBA was under 2 hours. Participants also indicated high acceptability of the Practical FBA tools and procedures. This research study presented preliminary findings supporting the efficacy of an FBA training program for school personnel. Further implications, limitations, and directions for future research are presented. / Committee in charge: Robert Horner, Chairperson, Special Education and Clinical Sciences; K Brigid Flannery, Member, Special Education and Clinical Sciences; Richard Albin, Member, Special Education and Clinical Sciences; Renee VanNorman, Member, Special Education and Clinical Sciences; Jean Stockard, Outside Member, Planning Public Policy & Mgmt

No. of bitstreams: 1 Santos_MarciaAndreados_D.pdf: 1505589 bytes, checksum: c29a1ec89e18bfe3033080d55ce70293 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010 / Resumo: Este estudo tem por finalidade descrever e discutir as representações de educadores da rede pública de um município do sudoeste do Paraná acerca dos conceitos de língua, cultura e identidade, com vistas a compreender os sentidos que atribuem à diversidade linguística e sociocultural presente no contexto em que atuam. Embora tal contexto inclua uma variedade étnica considerável, optou-se por aqui focalizar as representações construídas acerca da negritude e da indianidade dada à relevância desses grupos étnicos localmente. O corpus de análise desta tese reúne dados gerados durante atividades escritas e interações em sala de aula ocorridas ao longo de oito encontros com professores e gestores municipais realizados em um curso de formação docente promovido pelo CEFIEL - Centro de Formação Continuada do Instituto de Estudos da Linguagem da UNICAMP. A pesquisa em questão é de cunho qualitativo/interpretativista e segue os preceitos epistemológicos advogados por Moita Lopes (2006) para estudos conduzidos no campo aplicado. O aparato teórico que deu sustentação ao trabalho orientou-se por contribuições advindas da Linguística Aplicada (COX e ASSIS-PETERSON, 2007; CESAR e CAVALCANTI, 2007; FABRÍCIO, 2006; MAHER, 2007), dos Estudos Culturais (HALL, 1997; WOODWARD, 2002), da Educação (SKLIAR, 2003; SILVA, 2005), da Antropologia (THOMAZ, 1995) e da Sociologia (ELIAS, 1994; BOURDIEU, 1998; FOUCAULT, 2002). Os resultados obtidos na análise dos dados sugerem que a) as concepções relativas aos três conceitos focalizados com as quais a maior parte dos sujeitos pesquisados opera contribuem para que atitudes etnocêntricas e pouco tolerantes para com o diferente sejam mantidas e/ou b) que eles desconhecem, ou preferem não reconhecer, a pluralidade linguística e sociocultural considerável do ambiente em que atuam profissionalmente. A expectativa é que este trabalho possa subsidiar a construção de currículos interculturais de formação de educadores que os torne capazes de trabalhar com a diferença de modo produtivo e respeitoso / Abstract: This study aims at describing and discussing the representations educators who work in public schools in a district of southeast Paraná have of concepts such as language, culture and identity in order to understand the meanings they attribute to local linguistic and socio-cultural diversity. Although the context these educators work in includes considerable ethnic variety, only representations of indigenous and afro-descendent people were examined considering the relevance of such ethnic groups in the area. The analyzed corpus include data collected during written activities and classroom interactions that occurred along eight encounters with teachers and school principals and assistants in a course sponsored by CEFIEL - Center for Continuing Education of the Institute of Language Studies of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). This study is qualitative and interpretative in nature and follows the epistemological principals suggested by Moita Lopes (2006) for applied research. The theoretical bases adopted was oriented by contributions from the fields of Applied Linguistics (COX e ASSIS-PETERSON, 2007; CESAR e CAVALCANTI, 2007; FABRÍCIO, 2006; MAHER, 2007), Cultural Studies (HALL, 1997; WOODWARD, 2002), Education (SKLIAR, 2003; SILVA, 2005), Anthropology (THOMAZ, 1995) and Sociology (ELIAS, 1994; BOURDIEU, 1998; FOUCAULT, 2002). Data analyses results suggest that most research subjects a) operate with theoretical conceptions in regard to the three focused concepts which contribute for the maintenance of ethnocentric beliefs and attitudes of disrespect for differences and /or b) do not know, or prefer not to acknowledge the considerable linguistic and socio-cultural plurality of the context in which the act professionally. The expectation is that the research here described can contribute to the elaboration of intercultural curricula for the education of school professionals thus enabling them to work with differences in school environments in more productive and respectful ways / Doutorado / Multiculturalismo, Plurilinguismo e Educação Bilingue / Doutor em Linguística Aplicada

The School Counseling Psychology Program: A Qualitative Study.

Barnes, Daniel Vern 27 July 2005 (has links) (PDF)
The service role and functions of school counseling and school psychology have been discussed extensively for several decades. The literature from each professional discipline is replete with calls to expand the training and service capacity of these school professionals. Simultaneously calls are made for even broader educational reform as it specifically relates to student pupil services. From within this context an integrated school counseling and school psychology program known as the School Counseling Psychology Program was organized and administered at Brigham Young University. This qualitative dissertation study highlights the perceived strengths and limitations of this integrated training program. The impact of integrated services and collaboration among student service professionals is highlighted from a regional perspective that reaffirms the value of grassroots level research. Lastly, the conceptual barriers and recommendations of administering an integrated school counseling and school psychology training program are presented and discussed.

No. of bitstreams: 1 6682.pdf: 2066305 bytes, checksum: 53fc128292a84adc383af6eaee695657 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-03-09 / Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos / Various studies show benefits of family-school relation on development and performance of students that are target audience of special education (TAEE) especially on early childhood education. However, they also show lack of information and training of school professionals to establish such relation with families. Considering such needs, an intervention program was implemented aiming to offer means to favor family-school relation of preschool TAEE students. This study aimed to: (a) identify possible opinion switch of school professionals regarding families , families of TAEE students and family-school relation after attending an intervention program; (b) analyze family-school relation during school professionals attendance in the program and (c) assess structure and social validity of the program. Data collection occurred during the program offered to seven preschool professionals of municipal schools who taught TAEE students. The intervention was held in the university dependencies and comprised nine 2-hour meetings totaling 18 hours. To achieve proposed goals, participants filled in: (a) an identification questionnaire; (b) pre and posttest focal group guides and (c) an intervention program evaluation. Participants also registered contacts made with TAEE students relatives in a biweekly field journal. Content analyses were made with data obtained in focal groups and field journals. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were made with data obtained via program evaluation. Results indicate that participants presented conceptual change regarding proposed topics after attending the program. Participants opinions and perceptions were improved and regarded more positive aspects with reduced frequency of references to demands, stigma, guilt and negative comments towards families. They also cited more aspects related to family involvement and its benefits to students development. Regarding practical relation between participants and TAEE students relatives, no significant changes in quantity, frequency and duration were observed in a general analysis, although positive changes were observed in some cases such as the insertion of topics that are more positive, pleasant, and that evidence progress in students behavior/development/performance, changes in participants evaluation regarding meetings productivity and relatives posture during the intervention, and the withdrawal of barriers and harmful factors to the relation. Regarding program evaluation, positive aspects were (a) manner and strategy used to contact relatives and (b) contributions to the establishment of family-school relation. In addition, participants unanimously reported (a) satisfaction with day, quantity and frequency of meetings, (b) that the program aided their teaching practice, and (c) that they would refer the program to a colleague. Lastly, six participants reported change in their relation with TAEE sutdents relatives. In conclusion, the program reached favorable results to family-school relation in this context and may have its results used to support further research and intervention. / Diversas pesquisas indicam os benefícios da relação família e escola no desenvolvimento e desempenho do alunado público alvo da educação especial (PAEE), principalmente na educação infantil. Contudo, também apontam a carência de informação e formação por parte dos profissionais escolares para o estabelecimento desta parceria com as famílias. Considerando tais necessidades, foi realizado um programa de intervenção visando oferecer alternativas que favorecessem a relação entre família e escola de alunos PAEE pré-escolares. A pesquisa teve como objetivos: (a) identificar as possíveis mudanças nas opiniões de profissionais escolares sobre as temáticas famílias , famílias de crianças público alvo da educação especial e relação família e escola , após a participação em um programa de intervenção; (b) analisar a relação família e escola, ao longo da participação de profissionais escolares em um programa de intervenção e (c) avaliar a validade social e a estrutura do programa de intervenção. A coleta de dados ocorreu durante um programa de intervenção oferecido para sete profissionais escolares pré-escolares municipais que lecionavam para criança(s) PAEE. O programa de intervenção ocorreu nas dependências da universidade e foi composto por nove encontros de duas horas de duração cada, totalizando 18 horas. Para alcançar os objetivos propostos, as participantes responderam: (a) um questionário de dados de identificação; (b) um roteiro de grupo focal pré e pós-teste e (c) um questionário de avaliação do programa de intervenção. As profissionais escolares também descreveram em um diário de campo, os contatos que estabeleceram com os familiares de uma criança PAEE. Foi realizada análise de conteúdo com os dados obtidos nos grupos focais e nos diários de campo e análises quantitativas e qualitativas com os dados obtidos por meio do questionário de avaliação do programa de intervenção. Como resultados, verificou modificações a nível conceitual pelas profissionais escolares sobre as temáticas abordadas, após a participação no programa de intervenção, identificando-se que as opiniões e concepções das mesmas mostraram-se mais aperfeiçoadas e relacionadas a aspectos positivos, com menor frequência de referências à cobrança, estigmatização, culpabilização e atribuições negativas às famílias, além de citarem mais questões relacionadas ao envolvimento com a família e os benefícios ao desenvolvimento do aluno. Quanto à relação prática entre as participantes e os familiares do aluno PAEE, de forma geral, não foram constatadas mudanças significativas na quantidade, frequência e duração dos encontros. Porém, foi possível perceber modificações positivas em alguns casos, como maior frequência de assuntos positivos, agradáveis e que evidenciavam o progresso do aluno em âmbitos desenvolvimentais, comportamentais e/ou de desempenho, além das modificações nas avaliações quanto à produtividade dos encontros estabelecidos e quanto às posturas dos familiares durante o mesmo. Ainda, verifica-se que as barreiras e fatores prejudiciais à relação tenderam a diminuírem. Quanto à avaliação do programa, os aspectos citados como positivos referem-se à possibilidade às e estratégias de contato e a contribuição para o estabelecimento da relação com a família. Além disso, a totalidade das participantes alegou: (a) satisfação quanto ao dia, quantidade e frequência dos encontros, (b) que o programa auxiliou em sua prática docente e (c) que o indicaria para um colega. Por fim, seis das sete participantes afirmaram perceber mudança em seu relacionamento com os familiares do aluno PAEE. Os achados permitiram maior investigação sobre o tema e apresentou resultados favoráveis ao relacionamento entre família e escola na realidade investigada, oferecendo assim, subsídios estruturais e metodológicos a serem utilizados na criação de programas de intervenção e/ou cursos de formação inicial e continuada.
