From the theoretical perspective of Socio-Historical Psychology, fundamental concepts of the psychological constitution of the child were raised during the school period, as well as their socialization inside and outside the school. The concepts served as grounds for an interview, applied to two children from private schools in São Paulo. From the answers obtained, a qualitative analysis was carried out, using the theoretical reference of the Meaning Cores, research methodology created by Wanda Maria Junqueira Aguiar and Sergio Ozella (2006; 2013). The analysis allowed a mapping and construction of a panorama of how children perceive and signify the process of school reinforcement, generating important data for parents, teachers and professionals in the area of education and health. From the information found, the adults involved with the child can restructure and orient the process of school reinforcement in a different way, aiming at reducing or eliminating the feelings of exclusion and devaluation that the process can generate in the child / Esta pesquisa teve o objetivo de identificar significações atribuídas por estudantes do ensino fundamental ao processo de reforço escolar. A partir da perspectiva teórica da Psicologia Sócio-Histórica foram levantados conceitos fundamentais da constituição psicológica da criança no período escolar, bem como de sua socialização dentro e fora da escola. Os conceitos serviram de base para criar um roteiro de entrevista, instrumento fundamental desta pesquisa, que foi aplicado a duas crianças estudantes de escolas particulares de São Paulo. A partir das respostas obtidas foi realizada uma análise qualitativa, utilizando o referencial teórico dos Núcleos de Significação, metodologia de pesquisa criada por Wanda Maria Junqueira Aguiar e Sergio Ozella (2006; 2013). A análise permitiu um mapeamento e construção de um panorama de como as crianças percebem e significam o processo de reforço escolar, gerando dados importantes para pais, professores e profissionais da área de educação e saúde. A partir das informações encontradas os adultos envolvidos com a criança podem reestruturar e orientar de forma diferente o processo de reforço escolar, visando à diminuição ou eliminação dos sentimentos de exclusão e desvalorização que o processo pode gerar na criança

Smartphones, a fusion of mobile telephony, the internet and various media, such as a camera and recorder, are boosting transformations in terms of blurring the boundaries, and it is increasingly difficult to delimit public and private, real and virtual environments. Digital social networks are also being favored by this technology, which enhances their functions and intensifies interactive possibilities. Paradoxically to the population increase, through these mediating tools the world seems smaller and the perception of time and space is transformed. The purpose of this research is to identify the relation of the subject with these mediating technologies. In order to do so, we are based on the socio-historical perspective of understanding of reality, based on historical and dialectical materialism, which grasps productions built socio-historically based on concrete materiality, as well as the understanding of life as a contradictory and constant movement, Complex perception of reality, while mutually constituted by the individual and society. In this perspective the focal group technique was used to survey the subjects' speeches. A pilot group was carried out to test the proposed method and, after the necessary adjustments, there was a definitive application with six groups, totaling twenty-eight participants, all PUC-SP undergraduate students from different courses. As a trigger for the dialogue, slides were presented with images related to the subject. The verbalizations were recorded and transcribed to identify the meaning core, which were analyzed and discussed. In the meaning core potential emancipatory fragments as well as traps and risks in this process were verified / Na dinâmica contemporânea a vida cotidiana está atravessada tecnologicamente pela esfera digital. Os smartphones, fusão entre telefonia celular, internet e diversas mídias como, por exemplo, câmera fotográfica e gravador, estão potencializando transformações em termos de borramento entre espaços, sendo que cada vez mais é difícil delimitar os âmbitos público e privado, real e virtual. As redes sociais digitais também estão sendo favorecidas por essa tecnologia, que potencializa suas funções e intensifica possibilidades interativas. Paradoxalmente ao aumento populacional, através dessas ferramentas mediadoras o mundo parece menor e a percepção de tempo e espaço se transforma. A proposta desta pesquisa é identificar a relação do sujeito com essas tecnologias mediadoras. Para tanto, nos baseamos na perspectiva sócio-histórica de compreensão da realidade, fundamentada no materialismo histórico e dialético, que apreende produções construídas sócio-historicamente com base na materialidade concreta, assim como a compreensão da vida como contraditória e em constante movimento, o que possibilita percepção complexa da realidade, mutuamente constituída pelo indivíduo e sociedade. Nessa perspectiva a técnica de grupo focal foi utilizada para o levantamento de discursos dos sujeitos frente a situações que envolvem o uso das redes sociais digitais. Houve a aplicação do procedimento a seis grupos, totalizando vinte e oito participantes, todos estudantes de graduação da PUC-SP de diferentes cursos. Como estímulos disparadores do diálogo foram apresentados slides com imagens referentes ao assunto. As verbalizações foram gravadas e transcritas para identificação dos núcleos de significação, analisados e discutidos. Verificaram-se nos núcleos potencialidades de fragmentos emancipatórios, assim como armadilhas e riscos nesse processo

This study is aimed at elucidating the meaning of therapeutic change within the context of a person's life story. The author believes that delineation of therapeutic change within this context may help to overcome the incongruence among counselling theory, research, practice, and the experience of counselling clients. After reviewing the traditional literature on therapy outcome and change, the new options coming from narrative approaches were considered. The qualitative method of a multiple-case study was chosen as the most appropriate for the posed question. Three participants in this project completed either individual (1 woman) or group (1 woman and 1 man) therapy, and believed that they achieved a substantial therapeutic change; all of them had written their autobiography in the beginning of their therapy. In each case study, the autobiography was interpreted, the interpretation refined in the Life story interview, and validated in another interview with the participant. Then the Current life interview and the Interview with a significant other were conducted, and the Portrait of change was construed; again, the product was reviewed and validated with the participant. All interpretations, and the videotapes of interviews were reviewed by two independent judges. The three Portraits of change were mutually compared, and the working delineation of the therapeutic change within the context of a person's life story was abstracted from this comparison. In all 3 cases, the change seemed to be connected with a substantial reinterpretation of the individual's life story. This reinterpretation seemed to be based on the change of the individual's fundamental beliefs about self and others in-the-world, on greater and more flexible acceptance of self and others in their relational complexity, and on positioning one's Self as an agentic hero in his or her own life story. These changes were also reflected in the genre, the formal structure, and the explanatory reasoning of the new stories the participants told about their current lives, and lived by. The limitations of this study, and the implications of the findings for counselling theory, practice, and future research are discussed.

One may classify modernity as an adolescent time whose model is adolescence. It has been observed that a great number of the behaviors presented by some adults are actually imitations of those found in adolescents. With the failure of the parental function, the adolescence process has been lengthened throughout the times and also new forms of symptomatic manifestations characteristic of this period have been observed. With the discovery of the oedipus complex, adolescence loses the importance it has had at the begining of the psychoanalysis construction. It reappears at Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905) as the last stage of sexuality and it is assigned by Freud to be the place where one of the hardest and most painful tasks are to be endured: the detachment from the parental figures. In the present work adolescence is chosen as an oedipal re-signification time, recovering from freudian works and transforming it in an operant concept considering Lacan s contributions to psychoanalysis, with the purpose of offering a metapsychological statute. This theoretical construction will make possible to give emphasis to adolescence in psychoanalysis given that we cannot deny its existence is contemporary phenomena / Temos verificado, desde algum tempo, um crescente número de estudos voltados para a adolescência. Há quem classifique a modernidade como um tempo adolescente, cujo modelo de referência é a adolescência. Observamos que muitos dos comportamentos apresentados por alguns adultos são imitações dos encontrados nos adolescentes. Com a falência da função paterna, o processo adolescente tem se alongado através dos tempos, bem como, temos visto novas formas de manifestações sintomáticas características dessa idade. Com a descoberta do complexo de Édipo, a adolescência perde a importância que tivera no início da construção da psicanálise. Vemos ela reaparecer nos Três Ensaios (1905) como última etapa da sexualidade e é eleita, por Freud, como lugar de uma das mais difíceis e dolorosas tarefas que se deve empreender, ou seja, o desligamento das figuras parentais. Nosso objetivo nesse trabalho é eleger a adolescência como tempo de re- significação edípica, resgatando-a da obra freudiana, transformando-a num conceito operante, a partir das contribuições trazidas por Lacan à psicanálise, para oferecer-lhes um estatuto metapsicológico. Essa construção teórica possibilitará dar um lugar de destaque à adolescência na psicanálise, visto que não podemos negar sua existência nos fenômenos contemporâneos

This study explores distinct levels of meaning from images of picture books perceived by 3- to 5-year-old children and investigates how the certain visual perception factors influence children's meaning making and if these factors are correlated. The literature review supports associations among visual perception, information, picture books, meaning, and children. Visual perception serves as the first channel that filters and interprets visual information, and picture books provide visual and verbal experience for children, who constantly search for meaning. Children age 3 to 5 years are potential users of picture books because pictorial information is considered useful to children's learning tasks. Previous research reveals that various factors influence visual perception, and meaning has been mostly associated with its semantic significance in information retrieval. In information science, little research has focused on young children's own way of categorizing information, especially visual information. In order to investigate the distinct levels of meaning perceived by children, the investigation employed both qualitative and quantitative methods including unobtrusive and participant observation, factor analysis, content analysis, and case study. The result of this study contributes to understanding the cognitive process of children related to visual literacy and their interpreting visual information in a digital environment.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study report addresses the emerging role of meaning in the workplace, and how spirituality meets this need. The conclusion is drawn that each person's interpretation of meaning is informed by their unique experience of reality, and that the path of self-actualisation gives a sense of purpose to the lives of individuals. More particularly, Frankl's concept of logotherapy proposes that people find meaning when they are future-orientated. The absence of meaning leads to an existential vacuum, a phenomena experienced individually, and collectively by whole societies. The latter causes a state of boredom or meaninglessness, a malaise that so profoundly inflicts the modern age. Numerous management surveys report that the majority want to find meaning in their work. However at times this seems at odds with the organisation's aims. This is partly the result of contending worldviews: scientific rationality versus non-physical models of the universe. The former suggests that the universe is made of separate physical matter, while the latter encourages interconnectedness. The paradigm of separateness pits employers against employees and does not entertain or prioritise individual aspirations to meaning within the workplace environment. Consequently employees become dispirited as evidenced in low productivity, rising absenteeism and low morale. The argument is made for a fundamental societal transition that embraces a spiritual perspective of reality. Consensus is reached that spirituality refers to a feeling of interconnectedness between all things underpinned by a basic harmony in the design of the universe. Some ascribe transcendence or divinity to this process. Individuals use spirituality to integrate their inner self to the known world and beyond. Spirituality itself is purposeful and therefore is an end in itself. As such it is the antidote to meaninglessness. Studies have shown that a new generation of first world people, particularly Americans, ascribe to new values of work, success, consumption and spirituality, rejecting the hedonism and materialism of the X generation. From this informal movement come new terms like Spiritual Intelligence (SQ). Altruism and self-actualisation are eagerly embraced in a new sense of the sacred that incorporates personal growth psychology, the spiritual realm and service to others. Sweeping social and economical changes, including downsizing, mergers, globalisation, the threat of terrorism since the 9/11 attacks, and Enron-type debacles are all contributing to business's spiritual awakening. In order to cope with increased stress and alienation, both managers and employees seek meaning and purpose in the workplace. Bringing spirituality into the workplace benefits all stakeholders as productivity improves and multiple bottom lines improve. This process is occurring rapidly in many different guises in orqanisations across the first world. Both individual and organisation-centred approaches towards transformation predominate. The end result is organisations that align personal and workplace spirituality, providing meaning and fulfilment to many. This study report provides numerous examples and brief case studies from across the world, including practical guidance for implementing and measuring workplace spirituality. The conclusion speculates on whether the movement is a passing fad or a real attempt at genuine transformation based on universal spiritual principles. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studieprojek spreek die tevoorskynkoming van sinrykheid in die werksplek aan en hoe dit die behoefte spiritueël tegemoetkom word. Die gevolgtrekking word gemaak dat elke persoon se interpretasie van sinrykheid gevorm word deur hulle unieke ervaring van realiteit en dat die pad van selfaktualisering 'n gevoel van sin toevoeg tot die lewens van individue. In die besonder stel Frankl se konsep van logoterapie voor dat mense doel vind sodra hulle toekomsgerig is. Die afwesigheid van doel lei tot 'n eksistensiële vakuum, 'n verskynsel wat individueel ervaar word, en gesamentlik deur gemeenskappe. Die laasgenoemde veroorsaak 'n staat van verveligheid of doelloosheid, 'n onbehaaglikheid wat die moderne gang diepsinnig kwel. Talle bestuursopnames doen verslag dat die meerderheid sin wil vind in hulle werk. Nietemin staan dit somtyds in stryd met die organisasie se oogmerke. Dit is deels die gevolg van strydende wêreld opvattinge: wetenskaplikke rasionaliteit teenoor die nie-fisiese wêreldmodelle. Die eersgenoemde stel voor dat die wêreld bestaan uit afsondelike fisiese materie, terwyl die laasgenoemde interverbinding voorstaan. Die paradigma van afsonderlikheid kuil werkgewer en werknemer teen mekaar op en trakteer of prioritiseer nie individuele aspirasies tot sin in die werkplek omgewing nie. Gevolglik raak werknemers ontmoedig soos bewys deur lae produktiwiteit, toenemende afwesigheid en lae moraal. Die argument ontstaan ten gunste van 'n fundementele gemeenskaplike oorganklikheid wat 'n spirituele perspektief van realiteit omvat. Daar bestaan konsensus dat spiritualiteit verwys na 'n gevoel van interverbintenis tussen alle dinge onderstut deur 'n basiese harmonie in die wêreldbestel. Sommige skryf voortreflikheid of geestelikheid toe tot hierdie proses. Individue gebruik spiritualiteit om die innerlike self te integreer tot die bekende en verby. Spiritualiteit is doelgerig en is in sigself 'n doel. Dit is dus 'n teenmiddel tot doelloosheid. Studies het bewys dat 'n nuwe generasie van eerste-wêreld mense, bepalend die Amerikaners, toeskryf tot nuwe waardes van werk, sukses, verbruik en spiritualiteit, wat die hedonistiese en materialisme van die X-generasie verwerp. Deur hierdie informele beweging kom nuwe terme soos Spirituele Intelligensie tot stand. Altruisme en selfaktualisering word gretig ontvang in 'n nuwe gewaarwording van die heilige wat persoonlike sielkundige groei, die spirituele realm en diens tot andere inkorporeer. Verrykende sosiale en ekonomiese verandering, insluitende personeelvermindering, samesmeltings, globalisering, bedryging van terrorisme sedert die 9/11 aanval en die Enron-tipe fiasco dra alles by tot spirituele ontwaking van besighede. Ten einde by te hou met die vergrotende stres en vervreemding, word beide werkgewer en werknemer genoop tot die soeke na sinrykheid en doel in die werkplek. Die totstandbrenging van spiritualiteit in die wekplek bevoordeel alle insethouers en produktiwiteit verhoog en die multi onderlyne vergroot. Hierdie proses kom vinnig onder verskeie maskers in organisasies oor die eerste wêreld voor. Beide individuele en organisatories-sentreerde benaderings tot die transformasie heers. Die eindresultaat is organisasies wat persoonlike en werkplek spiritualiteit spoor en sinrykheid en bevrediging aan die menigte voorsien. Hierdie studieprojek voorsien menige voorbeelde en kort gevallestudies vanoor die wêreld, insluitende praktiese voorligting vir implementering en maatstawwe vir werkplek spiritualiteit. Die slotsom spekuleer of die beweging 'n verbygaande gier is of 'n ware poging tot opregte transformasie is gebaseer op universele spirituele beginsels.

The methodological theoretical framework adopted was Socio-Historical Psychology. The research participants were two teachers with twenty years of experience in early childhood education at the public school and private school in the city of São Paulo. Data collection was carried out through conversational dynamics, and this material, the empirical basis of the study, was transcribed and submitted, for analysis purposes, to the procedures suggested by Aguiar and Ozella (2006) called nuclei of signification; these analyzes allowed us to identify the meanings made by the participants regarding the affective dimension in the teaching-learning process, pointing out their meanings: a The affective and cognitive dimension are indissociable in pedagogical practice; b) the role and quality of mediation provide the approximation of the individual with the object of knowledge in a meaningful way; c) The teacher has a fundamental role in the development of the student in the school environment, given that their listening, interventions and theoretical and practical knowledge allow the student to constitute in their social relations; d) The attentive gaze of the teacher recognizes the student as being complete / O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi investigar as significações constituídas pelo professor de educação infantil acerca da dimensão afetiva no processo ensinoaprendizagem. O referencial teórico metodológico adotado foi a Psicologia Sócio- Histórica.
