A previous study with a group of adolescents, made up of 40 boys and 26 girls from 6th. to 8th. grades, showed personalized preferences, without a group tendency and linked to complex games. The need for non-experienced subjects in such games and for starting studies making use of a simpler game, led to the research of Tetris solution by two female university students. The procedure, which was individual and videotaped, consisted of a 4-proof pre-evaluation of possibilities, 9 sessions using Tetris (more than 30 games and about 10-hour filming per person) and 3 self-evaluations (after session-1; before sessions 4 and 9). The pre-evaluation revealed a formal level of thought for both subjects. A quantitative analysis showed great progress of the subjects: throughout the sessions, there was a fall in the average number of games, associated to long lasting games, to a larger production of lines and to a larger punctuation, with the advance from the building of unitary to double, triple and quadruple lines. The micro genetic analysis demonstrated the presence of equilibration as well as the dynamic of dialectic constructions and dialectic thoughts underlying the procedural and conceptual schemes. Although the final solutions have achieved a III-Level (Subject 1) and a II-III Level (Subject 2), there were initial possibilities and more elementary mistakes than it was hypothesized to people who had formal thought. On the other hand, the constructed interdependences, both initial and global, comprised larger complexity and scope than it was foreseen. The obtained results suggested that, when solving the Tetris, it was as if the subjects were remaking the cognitive evolution course, projecting their progress to the top level of their cognitive structures or tending to this level. / Com uma abordagem piagetiana e microgen?tica, investigou-se o pensamento dial?tico e a constitui??o de poss?veis na resolu??o e compreens?o de um jogo computadorizado. Um estudo pr?vio com adolescentes, 40 meninos e 26 meninas de 6? a 8? s?ries, mostrou prefer?ncias personalizadas, sem tend?ncia grupal e ligadas a jogos complexos. A necessidade de sujeitos inexperientes nestes jogos e de estudos iniciais com um jogo mais elementar levou ? pesquisa do processo resolutivo do Tetris por duas universit?rias. O procedimento, individual e filmado, incluiu pr?-avalia??o com 4 provas de poss?veis, 9 sess?es com o Tetris (mais de 30 jogos e cerca de 10 h de v?deo por sujeito) e 3 autoavalia??es (ap?s a sess?o-1; antes das sess?es 4 e 9). A pr?-avalia??o revelou n?vel formal de pensamento para os dois sujeitos. Uma an?lise quantitativa mostrou acentuado progresso dos sujeitos: ao longo das sess?es, queda no n?mero m?dio de jogos, associada ? sua maior dura??o, maior produ??o de linhas e maior pontua??o, com avan?o da forma??o de linhas unit?rias para compostas (duplas, triplas e qu?druplas). A an?lise microgen?tica da resolu??o indicou a presen?a de equilibra??o e da din?mica de constru??es dial?ticas e pensamento dial?tico, subjacentes aos esquemas procedurais e conceituais. Embora as solu??es finais tenham sido de N?vel-III (Sujeito 1) e N?vel II-III (Sujeito 2), ocorreram poss?veis iniciais e erros mais elementares do que o hipotetizado para sujeitos com pensamento formal. De outro lado, as interdepend?ncias criadas, iniciais como globais, comportaram abrang?ncia e complexidade maiores do que o previsto. Pelos dados obtidos, ao resolverem o Tetris, os sujeitos como que refizeram o percurso da evolu??o cognitiva, com seu progresso projetado at? o patamar de suas estruturas cognitivas ou tendendo a este patamar.

RESUMO: Introdução: as estatísticas progressivamente preocupantes demonstram que as doenças cardiovasculares são a principal causa de morbimortalidade no Brasil e no mundo e, entre elas, estão as que levam à parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR). O aprimoramento contínuo do ensino do atendimento às vítimas de PCR pré ou intra-hospitalar torna-se fundamental para a boa formação dos profissionais de saúde, incluindo os de Enfermagem. Objetivo: o presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar o processo de ensino aprendizagem no atendimento pré-hospitalar às vítimas de PCR, utilizando as manobras de Ressuscitação Cardiopulmonar (RCP) e o Desfibrilador Externo Automático (DEA), no aspecto teórico (CONHECIMENTO) e prático (HABILIDADE), seguindo as recomendações do guideline de 2010 da Aliança Internacional dos Comitês de Ressuscitação (ILCOR). Casuística e Método: a amostra foi constituída por 37 alunos do 1º ano, da Escola de Enfermagem da Universidade de São Paulo, que não tiveram nenhuma orientação prévia sobre o tema. A pesquisa foi executada no Laboratório de Enfermagem da EEUSP (LE-EEUSP), em três fases. Na 1ª fase, houve a avaliação prévia desses alunos por meio de prova teórica (avaliação do CONHECIMENTO) constituída por 40 questões e prova prática avaliada pela execução de um check list com 20 itens (avaliação da HABILIDADE). Na 2ª fase, foi realizado um Curso teórico-prático com exposição do assunto em aula teórica e, a seguir, a demonstração prática, em simulação no LE-EEUSP, com manequim e outros materiais e equipamentos específicos. Esse ambiente para simulação, assim organizado, foi disponibilizado, durante um mês, para o treinamento dos alunos sob orientação de instrutores que aferiram o tempo e o número de treinamentos de cada aluno. Após essa etapa, na 3ª fase, esses alunos foram submetidos à nova avaliação, com prova teórica (avaliação do CONHECIMENTO) e prática (avaliação da HABILIDADE), utilizando os mesmos instrumentos da 1ª fase. Os parâmetros avaliados no estudo foram: desempenho dos alunos antes e após Curso teórico-prático; tempo de execução e número de treinamentos de cada aluno. Resultados: observou-se acréscimo de acertos na prova teórica (CONHECIMENTO) em 37 questões, com significado estatístico em 30 delas (p<0,05). Quanto à avaliação da HABILIDADE, houve aumento de acertos em 19 dos 20 itens do check list (p<0,05). Quanto à relação do percentual de acertos e/ou escores com o número de treinamentos, não houve correlação (p>0,05). No entanto, quanto à relação do percentual de acertos e/ou escores com o tempo de execução a correlação foi significativa (p<0,05) e classificada como moderada. Conclusões: após o Curso teórico prático ministrado, utilizando as estratégias de ensino descritas, houve melhora significativa do desempenho dos alunos em ambos os aspectos avaliados: CONHECIMENTO e HABILIDADE. / Abstract: Introduction: Increasingly worrisome statistics show that cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of morbimortality in Brazil and worldwide, among these conditions being those that lead to cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA). Continuous improvement of education on CPA pre or intra-hospital care is essential for the development of health professionals, including nursing professionals. Objective: This study aimed at assessing the teaching/ learning process of pre-hospital care to CPA victims with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Maneuvers (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillators (AED), as far as theoretical aspects (KNOWLEDGE) and practical aspects (SKILLS) are concerned, according to the 2010 guidelines of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). Case Description and Method: The sample consisted of 37 first-year students enrolled at the School of Nursing of Universidade de São Paulo, who had not received any previous instruction on the theme. The research was carried out in the Nursing Laboratory of the Schoof of Nursing (LE-EEUSP), in three phases. In the 1st phase, students sat a preliminary theoretical test (KNOWLEDGE assessment), with 40 questions, and took a practical test in which they had to go over a 20-item check list (SKILLS assessment). In the 2nd phase, a theoretical-practical course was offered, based on explanatory theoretical classes and subsequent practical demonstrations, with simulations at the LE-EEUSP laboratory employing dummies and other specific materials and equipment. This specially prepared simulation environment remained available for training during a month, supervised by instructors that were responsible for keeping track of the time spent and the number of training sessions taken by each student. Later on, in the 3rd phase, students were evaluated again by means of a theoretical test (KNOWLEDGE assessment) and a practical test (SKILLS assessment), with the same assessment tools used in the 1st phase. The study then considered the performance of students before and after the course and the number of sessions and time spent on training. Results: An increase in the percentage of correct answers was observed in 37 questions of the theoretical test (KNOWLEDGE), with statistical significance (p<0.05) in 30 of these cases. As to the SKILLS assessment, there was an increase in the percentage of correct answers given to 19 of the 20 items in the check list (p<0.05). As far as the relation between the correct answers percentage and/or test scores and the number of training sessions, no correlation was observed (p>0.05). However, the relation between the correct answers percentage and/or test scores and time spent on training was significant (p<0.05), classified as moderate correlation. Conclusion: After taking the theoretical-practical course, applying the strategies taught, students significantly improved their performance in relation to the aspects that were assessed: KNOWLEDGE and SKILLS.

A universidade é um local de aprendizagem no qual conhecimento acadêmico, social e cultural permeia a relação entre os estudantes, onde estes terão a oportunidade de vivenciar diferentes situações durante o curso. A maior preocupação é como esta experiência influenciará o estado nutricional com a possível mudança dos hábitos cotidianos, como abuso de bebidas alcoólicas, uso irrestrito de suplementos vitamínicos e alimentares e a alimentação inadequada. O consumo alimentar de universitários foi o foco desta pesquisa que teve como objetivo geral identificar as principais mudanças do consumo de alimentos/ bebidas e estilos de vida por meio de estudo de coorte, envolvendo estudantes ingressantes nos cursos de graduação da Escola Superior de Agricultura \"Luiz de Queiroz\" - ESALQ/USP, e como objetivos específicos desenvolver, validar e aplicar um instrumento com a finalidade de identificar medidas comportamentais relacionadas aos hábitos de consumo alimentar, atividade física, situação socioeconômica e relacionar as informações obtidas ao estado nutricional do estudante; descrever o consumo dentro e fora do domicílio. Participaram da pesquisa estudantes com idade entre 18 e 30 anos. Um questionário foi aplicado juntamente com a avaliação antropométrica para mensuração do peso, altura e classificação do estado nutricional por meio do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Este protocolo foi repetido após 8 meses de curso para que fosse identificada a situação do estado nutricional de cada indivíduo relacionada às mudanças do comportamento alimentar. Os dados coletados foram armazenados em base de dados no Microsoft Excel, sendo analisados por meio do Statistical Analysis System. Os dados quantitativos foram expressos em média e desvio-padrão (DP) com cálculos de intervalos de confiança de 95%. O teste do qui-quadrado foi utilizado para comparar a distribuição da prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade quanto à variável sexo, associando-se ao IMC. Foi utilizado o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse de Pearson para verificação de concordância entre peso e altura aferidos e referidos. Foi realizada análise de regressão múltipla para identificação da mudança de consumo entre as fases, assim como para peso corporal. Utilizou-se o nível de significância de 5%. Observaram-se entre as duas fases quantidades preocupantes de nutrientes ingeridos aquém ou além dos limites preconizados para ambos os sexos; destaque para o elevado consumo de sódio, e insatisfatório de carotenóides. No caso dos carotenóides, houve crescimento significativo da contribuição da categoria 3 para as alunas. O consumo de cafeína na segunda fase foi maior, predominando o fornecimento pelos alimentos ultraprocessados. De forma geral houve aumento do consumo de alimentos processados e ultraprocessados. Observou-se aumento (significativo a 5%) no consumo de lipídios. Constatou-se diminuição na prática de exercícios físicos e aumento na ingestão de bebidas alcoólicas, e destas com energéticos e no tabagismo. Concluiu-se que o ingresso na universidade contribui para a mudança nos hábitos alimentares e estilos de vida de maneira negativa, sendo necessária intervenção adequada visando a promoção da saúde dos estudantes. / The college is a learning place where academic, social and cultural knowledge exists in the relationship between students, where they will have the opportunity to experience different situations during the course. The biggest concern is how this experience will influence on the nutritional status with the possible change in daily habits, such as alcohol abuse, unrestricted use of vitamin and food supplements and inadequate nutrition. Dietary intake of students was the focus of this research aimed to identify the main changes in the consumption of food, beverage and lifestyles through cohort study, involving freshman students in undergraduate courses of the Escola Superior de Agricultura \"Luiz de Queiroz \" - ESALQ/USP, and specific objectives are to develop, validate and apply an instrument in order to identify behavioral measures related to food habits, physical activity, socioeconomic status and relate the information obtained to the nutritional status of the student, describe consumption inside and outside the home. the participants were students, aged between 18 and 30 years. A questionnaire was administered along with the anthropometric for measuring weight, height and classification of nutritional status using the Body Mass Index (BMI). This protocol was repeated after 8-month course to be identified the situation of the nutritional state of each individual related to eating behavior changes. The collected data were stored in a database in Microsoft Excel (2007 version), and analyzed using the Statistical Analysis System software (version 9.3). Quantitative data were expressed as mean and standard deviation (SD) with calculation of 95% confidence intervals. The chi-square test was used to compare the distribution of the prevalence of overweight and obesity and gender, associating with BMI. We used the intraclass correlation coefficient of Pearson to check correlation between weight and height measured and reported. It was performed multiple regression analysis to identify the change in consumption between phases, as well as body weight. Used the significance level of 5%. They were observed between the two phases worrying amounts of nutrient intake below or above the recommended limits for both sexes; especially the high sodium intake, and poor carotenoids. In the case of carotenoids, a significant growth of the category 3 contribution to the students. Caffeine consumption was higher in the second phase, predominantly supply the ultra-processed food. Overall there was an increase in the consumption of processed foods and ultra-processed. There was an increase (significant at 5%) in the consumption of lipids. Found a decrease in physical exercise and increased intake of alcohol, and those with energy and tobacco. It was concluded that entry into the university contributes to the change in eating habits and lifestyles in a negative way, requiring appropriate intervention to combat harmful habits to aiming to promote the health of students.

Orientador: Raul Aragão Martins / Banca: Rita Melissa Lepre / Banca: Maria de Lourdes Horiguela / Resumo: No Brasil e no mundo a dependência e o abuso de substâncias se apresentam como grandes problemas de saúde pública. As bebidas alcoólicas são um dos principais fatores de mortalidade no mundo e a droga de maior uso entre os adolescentes, trazendo consequências físicas, psíquicas, sociais e legais relacionadas ao uso de drogas, sejam elas lícitas ou ilícitas. Em vista disso, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar o padrão uso de álcool e outras drogas em universitários e a formação de sua competência moral. O estudo foi realizado em duas fases e contou com a participação de 164 alunos da graduação da Unesp de Marília. A primeira fase, ou levantamento inicial, usou como instrumentos o AUDIT (The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test), que avalia o uso de álcool e o risco de envolvimento com outras substâncias, um questionário sócio-econômico e um questionário para uso de substâncias psicoativas. A segunda fase, utilizou o MJT_xt (Moral Judgment Test- extended version), que avalia o índice de competência moral. Quanto aos resultados do AUDIT, 29,9% (49 alunos) apresentaram-se positivos para o uso problemático ou abusivo de álcool. Diversos problemas e riscos físicos, sociais e psicológicos pelos quais passam após beber, como envolvimento com acidentes, machucar-se ou ferir a outros, perder compromissos, ter amnésia, beber se embriagando, precisar beber no dia seguinte para superar o mal-estar causado pelo álcool e sentir remorso forma relatados pelos estudantes. Cerca de 78% deles bebem ou beberam alguma vez na vida, 25% bebem mensalmente ou menos, 31% bebem de 2 a 4 vezes por mês e 19,5% bebem de 2 a 3 vezes por semana. O uso de álcool na vida se iniciou predominante entre os 11 e 17 anos de idade (67,7%). O uso de tabaco predominou entre os 15 e 17 anos (21,9%).

Alcoholic beverages are a major factor of mortality worldwide and the increased use of drugs among adolescents, bringing physical, mental, social and legal matters related to this use and to other drugs, whether they are legal or illegal ones. As a result, this research aimed to investigate the pattern of alcohol and other drugs in college students and the formation of their moral competence. The study was conducted in two phases and with the participations of 164 undergraduate students from Unesp, Marília. The first phase or initial survey, used as instruments, AUDIT (The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, which evaluates alcohol use and the risk of involvement with other substances, a social and economial survey and a questionnaire for substance abuse. The second phase used the MJT_xt, which evaluates the moral competence. As the results for the AUDIT, 29.9% (49 students) were positive to problematic use or abuse of alcohol. Several problems, including physical, social and psychological problems that they go through after drinking, such as involvement in accidents, hurt themselves or injure others, miss appointments, have amnesia, getting drunk, need to drink the next day to overcome the discomfort caused by alcohol and remorse were reported by the students. About 78% of them drink or drank at least once in life, 25% drink monthly or less, 31% drink 2-4 times per month and 19.5% drink 2-3 times per week. Alcohol use in life began predominantly between 11 and 17 years of age (67.7%). The use of tobacco prevailed between 15 and 17 years (21.9%). The use of marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, amphetamines and solvents began on or after age 18 for most respondents. The most common substances used last year were: alcohol (62.8%), tobacco (20.1%), marijuana (17.1%), inhalants (7.9%)... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

<p>While the number of graduate students from different parts of the world in the United States is decreasing, the trend in Latin American populations is the opposite. Nonetheless, the current lack of information regarding the reasons behind this tendency, in terms of English language proficiency and cultural aspects, affects all parts involved: graduate students do not know what type of opportunities they can make use of; American universities do not have enough information to provide Latin American students with a sheltering environment; and Latin American governments are unable to make policies that encourage the application and facilitate admission to graduate school in American universities.</p> <p>The aim of this study is to establish a starting point for understanding the linguistic and cultural complexities of the Latin American population in graduate school in the United States. To do so, surveys and interviews were carried out to explore academic experiences, cultural influences and socioeconomic patterns that influenced the admission of Latin American students to graduate school. Mixed methods were used to describe the patterns of the survey responses quantitatively while leaving room for confirmatory quantitative analysis using the information of the interviews. The participants of this study were graduate students from Purdue University, one of the American universities with the highest number of Latin American graduate students. </p> <p>The results of this study underscore the importance of effective English language instruction during college years for reaching the graduate school admission scores, especially in cases when English language training during school was not possible or had little impact on the functional proficiency of the learner. Also, there is a large body of evidence indicating that undergraduate research internships could be one of the opportunities with the highest potential to recruit graduate Latin American students, regardless of their socioeconomic background.</p>

While there is a consensus among researchers that assessment should and can serve learning, there is less understanding of how it supports learning at a fine-grained level. This thesis uses design-based research to investigate the role of comment-only, holistic peer assessment in writing development. The theory of action synthesises Sadler's accounts of learning through assessment (1989, 2010) with Winne and Hadwin's (1998, 2008) model of self-regulated learning. It is theorised that participating in peer assessment helps students to develop evaluative expertise, which in turn enriches task perceptions, metacognitive standards and ultimately large-scale adaptation: the changes students employ in subsequent essays. Drawing on the theory of action, I designed a series of workshops for first-year English Literature students learning to write examination essays. The thesis reports on the first of two iterations. 21 participants assessed and discussed example essays; criteria were not pre-determined but emerged from discussion of four examples. Students then wrote a timed essay, assessed three peer pieces and received three reviews. A range of data was generated during the workshops, including written comments, reflections and questionnaires. Ten case study writers also took part in pre- and post-workshops writing tasks, think-aloud protocols and interviews. To trace the development of students' evaluative expertise, I coded inductively students' talk and comment about writing. Visualising the connections between emergent codes reveals writing quality as a complex web of criteria, with the essay question at the centre. There was a strong overlap between the official Faculty assessment criteria and the codes emerging from student data. However, students also frequently commented on procedural aspects of writing such as introductions and conclusions, which are left tacit or latent in Faculty criteria. Post-workshops, students' own metacognitive standards became increasingly reader-oriented and question-focussed, and these procedural aspects of writing drove the adaptations they made to their approach. I use rich, in-depth case study data to trace how, why, and when students made such adaptations. I also examine the role of peer feedback, which rather than offering new information, often verified or complemented the judgements students formed of their own writing during the workshops. The thesis thus illuminates processes involved in learning through assessment. It also shows that peer assessment is a practicable way of developing within the discipline both evaluative expertise and writing, which are key to lifelong learning.

Esta dissertação objetivou compreender percepções de estudantes universitários sobre a transição entre os papéis de estudante a trabalhador / profissional, investigando a influência dos processos de adaptabilidade de carreira e das experiências acadêmicas, especialmente o estágio, para a transição de identidade. O Estudo 1 consistiu em um levantamento quantitativo, mapeando percepções sobre a formação e avaliando aspectos do desenvolvimento de carreira. Participaram 62 alunos de Engenharia Civil que estavam cursando o último ou penúltimo semestre. O Estudo 2, qualitativo, aprofundou a partir de entrevistas semi-estruturadas o tema investigado. Participaram 6 estudantes selecionados da amostra do Estudo 1. Os principais resultados sugeriram que as experiências de estágio influenciam o desenvolvimento de dimensões da adaptabilidade de carreira, bem como a adaptabilidade influencia o aproveitamento das vivências de estágio. Tais experiências mostraram-se fundamentais no processo de transição do papel de estudante para o papel profissional. Conclui-se com implicações para a prática e a pesquisa. / This dissertation aimed to understand university student’s perceptions of the transition from the role of student to worker and professional, investigating the influence of career adaptability processes and academic experiences, especially internships, to identity transition. Study 1 used a quantitative and exploratory method in order to identify perceptions about the graduation experiences and assess career development variables. The sample was constituted of 62 Civil Engineering students in the last or penultimate semester. Study 2 used a qualitative design to produce deeper understandings about this theme through semi-structured interviews. Six students selected from Study 1 took part on Study 2. The main results suggested that internship experiences influence career adaptability development, as well as adaptability influences how the students benefit from internship experiences. Those experiences were found to be essential in the process of transition from student to professional role. Conclusions set directions for future research and practice.

O diagnóstico, mensuração e estudo dessas estratégias colocam-se como um dos aspectos fundamentais com vistas à melhoria do processo de aprendizagem. Nesse sentido, instrumentos válidos, fidedignos e sem vieses para realizar essa mensuração são necessários na área de educação. Neste estudo realizou-se a adaptação e a validação, para a população de dois estados brasileiros, de um instrumento de mensuração de estratégias de estudo e aprendizagem construído em 1988, o LASSI (Learning and Study Strategies Inventory), e utilizado no mundo inteiro, principalmente nos Estados Unidos, onde foi criado. Participaram desta pesquisa 833 alunos universitários de quatro universidades públicas localizadas nos estados de São Paulo e Paraná. A análise fatorial exploratória indicou uma estrutura de dez fatores no instrumento, que depois de trabalhada e analisada com a utilização de outros testes estatísticos, como o teste de consistência interna (alpha de Cronbach), de correlação de Pearson e os testes de estabilidade temporal, bem como análises conceituais, passou a ser composto por nove fatores. O instrumento, originalmente tinha 77 questões, às quais foram acrescentadas para este estudo 11 relativas às estratégias de estudo e aprendizagem adotadas na Internet. Em sua versão final o instrumento ficou com 71 questões em sua parte geral e com as mesmas 11 questões relativas à Internet, ou seja, no trabalho de validação foram eliminadas seis questões, todas da parte geral. As dimensões originais foram reconfiguradas. Duas delas foram excluídas: Autoverificação e Estratégias de Verificação e surgiu uma nova: Preocupações ao Estudar...

The diagnosis, measuring and study of these strategies are fundamental aspects for the improvement of the learning process. In this sense, valid, reliable and non-oblique instruments are necessary in the education area for accomplishing this measuring. In this study, it was carried out the adaptation and validation for the Brazilian population, of an instrument used for measuring learning and study strategies created in 1988, LASSI (Learning and Study Strategies Inventory), used worldwide but mainly in the United States where it was created. Eight hundred thirty-three university students from four public universities in the states of São Paulo and Paraná, took part in this research. The exploratory factorial analysis indicated a tenfactor structure in the instrument that, after dealt with and analyzed with the use of other statistical tests such as the internal consistency test (Cronbach's alpha), the Pearson's correlation coefficient and the temporal stability tests as well as conceptual analyses, became a nine-factor structure. The instrument originally had 77 questions to which 11 were added for this study, concerning study and learning strategies adopted in the Internet. In its final version, 71 questions were left in its general part and with the same 11 questions concerning the Internet, that is, in the validation task, six questions were eliminated, all of them from the general part. The original dimensions were reconfigured. Two of them were excluded: Self-Testing and Testing Strategies, and a new one was created: Concerns when studying. Significant correlations were found between the participant's performance in the subscales of the instrument and the variables gender and area of knowledge of their courses...

The university context demands of its members a constant exposition of their social skills, regardless of the course chosen by the student. This conjuncture can trigger social anxiety symptoms, sometimes unnoticed for years. However, a behavioral change can only happen in individuals who perceive damage and are motivated because motivation is the intrinsic force that drives action. This study investigated social anxiety in college students and the stage of motivation to change anxious behaviors. We used a Questionnaire created on the Google forms platform, the Social Phobia Scale - Liebowitz (LSAS), the Social Anxiety Questionnaire for Adults (CASO) and the Ready to Change Ruler. The instruments assessed sociodemographic data, social anxiety constructs and motivation to change anxious behaviors in a clinical sample of (n = 52) undergraduate students from the four areas of knowledge of the Federal University of Amazonas (Humanities, Biological, Agrarian and Exactly). The database was developed in the data processing program Microsoft Excel 2013 (Microsoft Office Enterprise) and analyzed in the Statistic Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, version 23.0. The results revealed a predominance of female (80.8%), single civil status (98.1%), of participants who had a fixed love partner (53.8%), who lived with relatives (98.1%) with income ≥ 2000 reais (61.5%), who did not use drugs (75%), of academics of the Human Sciences courses (61.5%), where 65.4% of the general sample obtained significant clinical data for the diagnosis of SAD after the intersection of the CASO and LSAS scores. The correlation indicated that in the first use in a research of the north of the country, the CASO had a convergent validity with the LSAS. Ready to Change Ruler demonstrated that students are prepared to perform the change of their behaviors. High scores for SAD and motivational stage of preparation for action, make up enough data to justify intervention proposals. / A ansiedade é uma emoção responsável por um conjunto de sensações físicas desagradáveis, uma das mais perturbadoras. Quando aumenta drasticamente diante de interações sociais e em decorrência da necessidade dessa interação, pode-se estar diante de um Transtorno de Ansiedade Social (TAS). O contexto universitário exige dos seus integrantes uma constante exposição das suas habilidades sociais, independentemente do curso escolhido pelo estudante. Essa conjuntura pode desencadear sintomas de ansiedade social, por vezes desapercebido por anos. Contudo, uma mudança comportamental só pode acontecer em indivíduos que percebam prejuízos e estejam motivados pois a motivação é a força intrínseca que direciona a ação. Este estudo investigou a ansiedade social nos universitários e o estágio de motivação para mudança de comportamentos ansiosos. Foram utilizados um Questionário criado na plataforma “Google forms”, a Escala de Fobia Social – Liebowitz (LSAS), o Questionário de Ansiedade Social para Adultos (CASO) e a Régua de prontidão para a mudança. Os instrumentos aferiram os dados sociodemográficos, construtos de ansiedade social e motivação para mudança de comportamentos ansiosos em uma amostra clínica de (n=52) estudantes de cursos de graduação das quatro áreas do conhecimento da Universidade Federal do Amazonas (Humanas, Biológicas, Agrárias e Exatas). O banco de dados foi elaborado no programa de processamento de dados Microsoft Excel 2013 (Microsoft Office Enterprise) e analisado no software Statistic Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), versão 23.0. Os resultados apontaram predomínio do sexo feminino (80,8%), estado civil solteiro (98,1%), de participantes que possuíam parceiro amoroso fixo (53,8%), que moravam com parentes (98,1%) com renda ≥ 2000 reais (61,5%), que não faziam uso de drogas (75%), de acadêmicos dos cursos de Ciências Humanas (61,5%), onde 65,4% da amostra geral obteve dados clínicos significativos para o diagnóstico de TAS após o entrecorte dos escores do CASO e LSAS. A correlação sinalizou que na primeira utilização em uma pesquisa do norte do país, o CASO possuiu uma validade convergente com o LSAS. A régua de prontidão mostrou que os estudantes estão preparados para realizar a mudança de seus comportamentos. Os escores elevados para TAS e estágio motivacional de preparação para ação, compõem dados suficientes para justificar propostas interventivas. / Haviam malwares no site que por dias impossibilitaram a abertura e edição do meu arquivo.

The purpose of this study was to investigate if early childhood educators could reliably score items using a new scoring system for the Assessment, Evaluation, and Programming System for Infants and Children (AEPS; Bricker, 2002). The participants were university students completing their certification in Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education (IECE) at the University of Kentucky (UK). The six participants completed training on implementing the AEPS and administered the AEPS to measure child outcomes. The results of this study validated the new scoring system for the AEPS by illustrating that the participants could reliably score a curriculum based assessment.
