The main purpose of this thesis is to identify the status of the students aged 9 to10 within the classroom environment, who are ascribed to the demonstrative character accentuation. The first part of this work is dedicated to the analysis of A.Ličko (1983), K.Leonhard (1989), V.Justickis (1993), V.Kaziukėnaitė (1995), I.Petrauskienė (1999) articles, that deal with the features of demonstrative accentuations, the motives of behavior and the possibilities of diagnosis. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to the theoretical aspects of characteristics of group and the importance of the child’s relationships in it. Also indicated are the relationships of the demonstrative children with both the official group ( class ) and the informal one ( chosen friends ). In the third part of this work a research of the primary school students in Kaunas is presented. The hypothesis that the children of demonstrative behavior, experience social difficulties was confirmed. Trying to gain the attention of others they become boring and not interesting to their peers therefore their status in the class is very low. It is recommended for teachers to cooperate with parents and help them to understand the features of the child with demonstrative character and attempt to correct them.

O presente trabalho consiste em uma análise das práticas educacionais desenvolvidas e voltadas para crianças e adolescentes em situação de abrigo ao longo da história nacional. Atualmente denominada como acolhimento institucional, esta prática é garantida pela Lei 8069/90 como uma medida de proteção e suas unidades de atendimento social são entendidas como espaços socioeducativos. A investigação empírica realizada em três instituições distintas durante a pesquisa apresenta evidências de que seu caráter educativo ainda está distante do ideal de desenvolvimento integral preconizado pela Lei, prevalecendo práticas pautadas no desrespeito à subjetividade daqueles que deveriam ser a razão de sua existência. Assim, este trabalho busca fazer um resgate histórico destas práticas, seguido pela apresentação da realidade atual constatada por meio da observação-participante, para uma posterior reflexão e proposição de um trabalho socioeducativo que seja realmente significativo para os acolhidos institucionalmente nestes espaços. / This study is an analysis of educational practices and programs for children and adolescents in a shelter along the national history. Currently known as shelter, this practice is guaranteed by Law 8069/90 as a measure of protection and their social service units are understood as socio-educational spaces. Empirical research carried out in three different institutions during the study presents evidence that its educational nature is still far from the ideal of integral development envisaged by the law, prevailing practices based on disrespect to the subjectivity of those who should be the reason for their existence. This study seeks to make a historical review of these practices, followed by the presentation of the current reality observed through participant observation, for further discussion and proposal of a social-educational work that is really significant for the institutionally accepted in these spaces.
