The purpose of this study is to provide a ready reference that may be the basis for helping teachers develop a detailed program to meet some common social and emotional difficulties of six-year-old children. An analysis of the findings and opinions of clinical psychology and educational authorities pertinent to this problem should yield conclusions and recommendations which may be objective enough to lead to a better understanding of the six-year-old child.

This study involved the effects of a perceptual motor enrichment program upon the motor skills of a six year old boy with cerebellar brain damage, who, with a control group of ten normal six year olds, was given a pre-test of motor skills. He and a child from the control group participated in a perceptual-motor enrichment program. The motor skills of both subjects were tested halfway through the program. Following the program, the experimental child, the control child, and the control group were post-tested on their motor skills. The testings showed that the greatest gains in motor skills were obtained by the experimental child, followed by the control child. The control group displayed little increase in motor skill performance.

We emphasize that one of the main actions of the Program includes the publication and distribution of didactic materials to support the pedagogical work in the classroom. We underline that in the year of 2011 the Read and Write Program contemplated the first year with the publication of a Guide of Planning and Didactic Guidelines for the teacher and a Collection of Activities with proposals addressing the students. In this perspective, the central objective of this research is to investigate how the proposal contained in the didactic material of the Read and Write Program was experienced by the students and by the t acher of the first year of a elementary public state school in the metropolitan region of Campinas in S?o Paulo, Brazil. The study included the following specific objectives: (i) identify how the Collection of Activities of the first year of elementary school was used in the classroom; (ii) observe how students developed the activities contained in the proposals of the didactic material; (iii) analyze the perceptions of the teacher and the students about this material. The researched classroom had twenty-five students. The data collection procedure included: classroom observations; interviews with the teachers and interviews with the students. The observations were registered in a field diary according to a previous script. The teacher s interview was done in the classroom during the lesson of a specialist teacher. The children s interview was held in the school environment with the assistance of a doll-character as a mediator element between the researcher and the children. Sixteen children were interviewed accordingly to the prior authorization of their legal guardians. The results showed how students relate to the reading and writing activities in the literacy process, contributing to a greater understanding of the six-year-old child. They also offered elements to evaluate the Read and Write Program regarding the didactic material of the first year as well as their integration in the school, contributing to the discussions about the model of teacher s continuous training that has been repeating itself in the state of S?o Paulo, Brazil. The research points to a political and education scenario that has maintained the same theoretical axis for three decades, but in short intervals of time presents something new. We observed a discontinuity inserted in a set of continuities. / O Programa Ler e Escrever se caracteriza como uma pol?tica educacional do estado de S?o Paulo e se constitui por um conjunto de a??es que visa ? melhoria da qualidade da alfabetiza??o nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental (EF). Destacamos que uma das principais a??es do Programa compreende a publica??o e distribui??o de materiais did?ticos para subsidiar o trabalho pedag?gico em sala de aula. Ressaltamos que no ano de 2011 o Programa Ler e Escrever contemplou o 1? ano com a publica??o de um Guia de Planejamento e Orienta??es Did?ticas para o professor alfabetizador e uma Colet?nea de Atividades, com propostas destinadas aos alunos. Nesta perspectiva, o objetivo central desta pesquisa ? investigar como a proposta contida no material did?tico do Programa Ler e Escrever (PLE) foi vivenciada pelos alunos e pela professora de uma sala de 1? ano do Ensino Fundamental em uma Escola Estadual da Regi?o Metropolitana de Campinas (RMC). O estudo contou com os seguintes objetivos espec?ficos: (i) identificar como o uso da Colet?nea de Atividades do 1? ano do Ensino Fundamental se concretizou em sala de aula; (ii) observar como os alunos desenvolveram as atividades contidas nas propostas do material; (iii) analisar as impress?es da professora e dos alunos sobre este material. A sala pesquisada tinha vinte e cinco alunos. Os procedimentos de coleta de dados inclu?ram: observa??es em sala de aula; entrevista com a professora; e entrevistas com os alunos. As observa??es foram registradas em um di?rio de campo, segundo um roteiro pr?vio. A entrevista com a professora foi realizada em da sala de aula no momento da aula de um professor especialista. As entrevistas com as crian?as foram realizadas no ambiente da escola com a utiliza??o do recurso auxiliar de uma bonecapersonagem como elemento mediador entre a pesquisadora e as crian?as. Foram entrevistadas dezesseis crian?as, de acordo com a autoriza??o pr?via de seus respons?veis legais. Os resultados evidenciaram as formas com que os alunos se relacionam com as atividades de leitura e de escrita no processo de alfabetiza??o, contribuindo para uma maior compreens?o da crian?a de seis anos. Tamb?m ofereceram elementos para se avaliar o Programa Ler e Escrever no que se refere ao material do 1? ano, como tamb?m a sua inser??o na escola, contribuindo para as discuss?es sobre o modelo de forma??o continuada de professores que vem se repetindo no estado de S?o Paulo. A pesquisa aponta para um cen?rio pol?ticoeducacional que se mant?m h? tr?s d?cadas no mesmo eixo te?rico, mas que em intervalos curtos de tempo apresenta algo que parece novo. Observamos uma descontinuidade inserida num conjunto de continuidades.

The research had a qualitative approach and, for the production of information, observation sessions have been made, having a total of 23h35min, distributed in four consecutive weeks. Two 1st grade classes from a school in the West area of São Paulo have been observed, at different times, and with different teachers. The results of the observation have been recorded on a field journal. The information produced has been organized on a chart to facilitate analysis and discussion, raising four thematic axes: movement and teaching process, space and movement, movement and representation, and movement and mental self-discipline. This study has pointed out that schools do not still recognize the importance of motricity both for cognitive and affective development, even if today there are practices which integrate the movement to the activities performed. Schools do not recognize it is their job to offer opportunities for the six-year-old children to experience physical space which is fundamental for the construction of mental space , and they offer few moments for fictional play, which are important for the strengthening of representation / O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi compreender como está sendo tratada a motricidade das crianças de seis anos no ensino fundamental, considerando que para Wallon ─ referente teórico para este estudo ─ motricidade é sinônimo de psicomotricidade, uma vez que a concebe como indissociável do psiquismo. A pesquisa teve uma abordagem qualitativa e, para a produção de informações, foram realizadas sessões de observação, em um total de 24h35min, distribuídas em quatro semanas consecutivas. Foram observadas duas turmas de 1º ano de uma escola pública da Zona Oeste de São Paulo, em diferentes horários e com diferentes professores. O resultado das observações foi registrado em um diário de campo. As informações produzidas foram organizadas em um quadro para facilitar a análise e discussão, sendo que foram levantados quatro eixos temáticos: movimento e processo de ensino, espaço e movimento, movimento e representação, movimento e autodisciplina mental. Este estudo apontou que a escola ainda não reconhece a importância do ato motor para o desenvolvimento cognitivo e afetivo, ainda que haja práticas que integrem o movimento às atividades desenvolvidas. Não reconhece que cabe a ela proporcionar oportunidades para que as crianças de seis anos vivenciem o espaço físico, fundamental para a construção do espaço mental, e oferece poucos momentos para brincadeiras de ficção, importantes para o fortalecimento da representação

Os construtos teóricos de Lev Semenovich Vygotsky e Mikhail Bakhtin, principais representantes da perspectiva histórico-cultural, apresentaram-se como fundamentos teóricos capazes de oferecer um sólido embasamento para a realização de tal pesquisa. Participaram como sujeitos quatro professoras do primeiro ano do Ensino Fundamental de duas escolas da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Juiz de Fora, sendo uma escola reconhecida como de Ensino fundamental e outra reconhecida como de Educação Infantil. Além dos dados levantados em entrevistas com as professoras, foram realizadas leituras dos Projetos Político - Pedagógicos das duas escolas e algumas observações in loco, registradas em um diário de campo. A análise dos dados baseou-se nos estudos de Aguiar (2000, 2001, 2005) e Aguiar & Ozella (2006) e está organizada em três núcleos de significação: (i)a nova formatação do ensino: impactos e desafios; (ii)infância, desenvolvimento e aprendizagem; (iii)reflexões sobre dicotomias. Nesta pesquisa, concluiu-se que os sentidos construídos para a inclusão das crianças de seis anos de idade no Ensino Fundamental de nove anos foram-se constituindo a partir do imaginário pedagógico a respeito do trabalho a ser exercido na Educação Infantil, no Ensino Fundamental e no trabalho a ser realizado com as crianças de seis anos. Constatou-se ainda a falta de apoio pedagógico às professoras, o esconhecimento dos documentos oficiais que orientam o trabalho com as crianças de seis anos, a necessidade de fundamentação teórica mais consistente por parte das docentes e o movimento coerente e positivo de construção de sentidos e de busca de conhecimentos que se estabeleceu a partir da nova formatação do ensino. Ressaltou-se também a importância da realização de pesquisas que dêem continuidade a este trabalho. / The present work was a result of a qualitative research under a historical cultural perspective aimed at understanding the different meanings first-year primary school teachers are providing through their discourse for including six-year-old children in this school grade. The theories by Lev Semenovich Vygotsky and Mikhail Bakhtin, who were the major representatives of the historical cultural perspective, proved to be a solid basis for carrying out the research. Four first-year primary school teachers from two schools of the Municipal School Network of Juiz de Fora were selected as subjects, one school being ranked as Primary School and the other as Secondary School. Apart from data collecting by means of interviews with the teachers, the educational policy guidelines from these schools were analysed, and some in loco observations were made and recorded as field work. Data analysis was based on the works by Aguiar (2000, 2001, 2005), and Aguiar & Ozella (2006) and was divided up into three meaninful blocks: (i) the new educational arrangement: impacts and challenges; (ii) childhood, development and learning; and (iii) reflections on dichotomies. In this research the meanings constructed for the inclusion of six-year old children in the nine-year school schedule were found to be built through the pedagogical imagery about the work to be done in both primary and secondary schools and the work to be done with six-year-old children. Lack of pedagogical support and knowledge about official documents guiding the work with six-year-olds were also found, apart from the need for more thorough theoretical framework on the teachers´ part and for a consistent process of meaning construction and knowledge search which was established by the new educational arrangement. The importance of carrying out continued research in this area was also highlighted.

This study investigated the impact of a sensory-motor stimulation programme, namely the SEMOSTI Programme, on the gross motor proficiency of four-to-six-year-old children. A field experiment was conducted using a quasi-experimental comparison group pretest-posttest design as three teachers implemented the SEMOSTI Programme over a 30-week period. Data collection took place at two schools’ grade R classes in Gauteng province of South Africa. Due to a limited sample of 73 participants, the results are context-bound and specific to Afrikaans-speaking, white, grade R children and selected gross motor skills. Data was collected using subtests of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2), a scale and measuring tape as well as several questionnaires. The variables, physical activity, body mass index (BMI), gender, age, and perinatal morbidity could possibly influence the results and were taken into account. Data was statistically analysed using the General Linear Model (GLM) procedure and Dunnett’s t-test analysis. Findings indicated that the SEMOSTI Programme had a significant impact on the dependent variable, gross motor proficiency. The SEMOSTI Programme positively impacted on all five motor skills tested (bilateral coordination, balance, running speed and agility, upper-limb coordination and strength), but only the impact on running speed and agility and strength were statistically significant. Findings from the questionnaires indicated that the teachers who presented the SEMOSTI Programme perceived it as user-friendly, well-structured and effective in choice of equipment and activities. They identified the timeframe for the evaluation of developmental milestones and the structure of the plan-of-action section as weaknesses. Findings suggest that the SEMOSTI Programme is promising in improving gross motor proficiency in four-to-six-year-old children. Through participation in the programme, the experimental group significantly improved total gross motor proficiency, running speed and agility, and strength. This study offers support for the future use of the SEMOSTI Programme as a stimulation programme in grade R after further development and validation. / Dissertation (MOccTher)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Occupational Therapy / unrestricted

This study is a phenomenological investigation of children's emotional development and experience focusing on the secondary emotion of pride. The purposes of this study were: (1) to examine the phenomenon of the development of pride in six- and seven-year-old children's socioemotional interactions, (2) to understand how and when young children experience, live, and display emotion, and (3) to develop insight about a child's perspective of their experience of emotion by entering into their field of perception. Respondents included six children, the two parents of each child, and the children's teachers. Theory-based sampling was used. The data were collected through the use of interviews with children, their parents and their teachers. The respondents described their emotion experiences, their interactions with others, and elaborated on their stories. What emerged from the data was consistent with existing literature in that at around the age of six, the components which allow for the construct of pride: perception, cognitive abilities, verbal skills, and socioemotional capacities, are present but not necessarily connected. By seven years of age, the component pieces are generally beginning to coalesce into a describable phenomenon. Second, pride was communicated between children and others often deliberately and purposefully, as well as indirectly and unconsciously. Third, the extracted meaning revealed that the essence of the phenomenon of pride was a positive, desirable feeling, the experience of pride for children and adults was about having a relationship with another person and pride can be related to either one's own accomplishments, another person's accomplishments, or an individual's qualities. Additionally, when pride is overemphasized it can be experienced as a negative feeling, and pride appeared to be interconnected with one's sense of humility. Recommendations are provided for parents, educators, and therapists. Studies which may investigate more fully the various aspects of socioemotional development are offered.
