Um curso de formação continuada de professores em desenho foi objeto de análise, a qual tornou possível a explicitação do processo de apropriação do conhecimento dos educadores, a constituição do professor como sujeito autor e as mudanças que ocorreram nos educadores a partir de sua própria atividade e a ação do outro. Esse processo de análise valeu-se da teoria histórico-cultural como base para a análise dos dados. Este trabalho defende que o desenho é uma importante forma de linguagem e essencial para o pleno desenvolvimento da criança, como também constitui as bases necessárias ao desenvolvimento das formas superiores de comunicação humana. Diante do fato de que muitos professores enfrentam dificuldades ao articular a teoria com a ação pedagógica por não possuírem conhecimento sobre os conteúdos de desenho a serem ensinados, constatou-se a necessidade de investir na formação continuada de professores, superando os limites entre esta e a formação inicial, pois é no exercício da profissão que estão dadas as condições favoráveis à implementação dos pressupostos formativos obtidos na formação básica. / This work stems from a research that had as main objective to put into discussion pedagogical practices that favor the development of design as a language; and, as specific objectives, to conduct theoretical studies that could support the understanding of design as a language; explain the means to overcome pedagogical conceptions and practices that limit the development of the design; identify which content and methodological procedures favor the teacher and children understanding and use of design as a language. A course of continuous training of teachers in design was object of analysis, which made it possible to explicit the process of knowledge appropriation of educators, the constitution of the teacher as subject author and the changes that occurred in the educators from the activity and action other. This analysis process drew on the cultural-historical theory as the basis to analyze the data. This work argues that the design is an important form of language is essential for the full development of the child, but also constitutes the necessary basis for the development of higher forms of human communication. Given the fact that many teachers face difficulties in linking theory with pedagogical action because they lack knowledge about the design of contents to be taught, there was the need to invest in the continuing education of teachers, overcoming the boundaries between it and the initial training, it is in the profession who are given the favorable conditions for the implementation of the formative assumptions made in basic training.

The Development of child drawing and it is potential in diagnostics The theoretical part of my thesis deals with the development of children's drawing and its subsequent interpretations. The drawing is defined in the thesis together with its development, patterns and peculiarities. The thesis is based on findings from the specialised literature that characterize children's development and its origins in the artwork and school age. Emphasis is also placed on tests to evaluate school readiness, child's overall development and psychological condition. The contribution of the teaching profession at primary school is maximized. The practical part includes the analysis of children's drawings normal and enchanted family, human character and favorite activities or interests in terms of pedagogical-psychological diagnosis. The drawings are complemented by other methods, such as interview, observation of the child and questionnaires for parents and teachers used to approach family background and medical history of the child.

This study examines the ways visual culture influences a child's drawings. The child is my 9-year-old daughter Nada, who was born in Saudi Arabia and is a fourth-grade student temporarily living in the United States. The study uses qualitative methods of data collection and exploratory case study research design as a methodology. The data were analyzed in light of Althusser's theory of ideology, specifically the notion of interpellation, along with visual culture theories. In addition, gender performativity theory, specifically the work of Judith Butler, was used to consider gender issues when these concerns emerged from the study. Nada has been exposed to two diverse cultures, those of Saudi Arabia and the United States. Both cultures may impact Nada's interpretations of her visual surroundings in various ways. Therefore, recognizing and examining how she interacts with US visual culture might help to uncover how such interactions constitute the basis of her perceptions, identities, and critical thinking. Drawing is not only a means of self-expression but also an important function of communication, identity formation, and represents possible ways of being in the world that are related to culture, community, and society as a whole. The study begins with the premise that there is a gap in understanding between the importance of visual culture and its insufficient application in Saudi Arabian art education. The implications of this study may be informative for Saudi Arabian educators, individuals, or groups interested in visual culture education and children's drawings; potentially, the Saudi Arabian educational system may also use this study to enhance its appreciation of the impact of visual culture on the creation of art and knowledge.

Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) have many devastating impacts, including the growing number of AIDS-orphans left without care. In the study, semi-structured interviews, incomplete sentences and Kinetic family drawings were used to explore the life-experiences and perceptions of AIDS-orphans living in kinship foster care, from a Gestalt perspective. The study revealed that the majority of the AIDS-orphans included were making good contact at the contact boundary and all the respondents were not familiar with the term 'foster care'. The researcher therefore recommended that children are educated about foster care at school, thus possibly increasing the awareness of foster care in South Africa, thus possibly increasing the provision of homes for the vastly growing numbers of AIDS-orphans in our country and perhaps make a difference in society. / Sociology / M.
