Esta pesquisa, em nível de Mestrado, buscou analisar o processo de implementação da pré-escola obrigatória, em municípios da microrregião de Ribeirão Preto - SP, com o objetivo de analisar as matrículas na pré-escola de 16 municípios da microrregião de Ribeirão Preto, estado de São Paulo, no período de implementação da Emenda Constitucional nº 59 de 11/11/2009, que previa a universalização da Educação Básica dos 4 (quatro) aos 17 (dezessete) anos no período entre 2009-2016. Investigou-se, em termos quantitativos, em que medida os municípios desta microrregião paulista, com suas especificidades, responderam à nova exigência legal em relação à pré-escola, identificando os dados de inclusão escolar das crianças e as relações de um atendimento quantitativo com o qualitativo; comparou-se a evolução no número de matrículas da pré-escola e a população entre quatro e cinco anos de idade nestes municípios, compreendendo as questões relativas à implementação da obrigatoriedade para estas crianças, e suas condições. Analisando o número de matrículas e a população de quatro e cinco anos de idade e comparando-os ao perfil dos municípios, observou-se que seis municípios da microrregião de Ribeirão Preto, assim como 15,7% dos municípios nacionais, não conseguiram implementar as leis e mantiveram, segundo nossas estimativas, crianças de quatro e cinco anos fora da pré-escola. / This research, at Masters level, sought to analyze the process of implementation of compulsory preschool in municipalities of the micro region of Ribeirão Preto - SP, with the objective of analyzing enrollments in the preschool of 16 municipalities of the micro region of Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, in the period of implementation of Constitutional Amendment No. 59 of November 11, 2009, which provided for the universalization of Basic Education from 4 (four) to 17 (seventeen) years in the period between 2009-2016. It was investigated, in quantitative terms, the extent to which the municipalities of this São Paulo microregion, with their specificities, responded to the new legal requirement regarding the preschool, identifying the data of children\'s school inclusion and the relations of a quantitative attendance with the qualitative; the evolution of pre-school enrollments and the population between four and five years of age in these municipalities were compared, including questions regarding the implementation of compulsory education for these children and their conditions. Analyzing the number of enrollments and the population of four and five years of age and comparing them to the profile of the municipalities, it was observed that six municipalities in the micro region of Ribeirão Preto, as well as 15.7% of the national municipalities, were not able to implement the laws and maintained, according to our estimates, four- and five-year-olds out of preschool.

Early childhood care and education is one of most fundamental elements on children journey. Although it looks irrelevant, children need it as a passage to use to begin developing their brains educationally as well life skills in generally. Swaziland has been neglecting early childhood care and education for a in the past, however, the situation has changed and now the Swazi government is getting involved through developing policies that support Early Childhood Care and Education. Tomorrow People Academy seeks to provide pre-school education in Swaziland with multiple enrollment programs, to cater for the different kinds of educational needs for the Swazi market. The business plan will present factors on how the Swazi government has moved from not supporting Early Childhood Care and Education to setting up and implementing structures that supports it. The business plan will then present paramount factors that are needed for the success in such an industry.

Este estudo baseia-se nas referências teóricas fornecidas por Piaget, Macedo, Kamii, Ifrah, entre outros. Trata-se de pesquisa realizada em uma escola particular de Educação Infantil da cidade de São Paulo, com 69 alunos de três anos e meio a sete anos e meio. O objetivo foi analisar a hipótese de que o jogo é um recurso metodológico para a construção da noção de número na criança, se for utilizado com intencionalidade pedagógica para isso. Utilizaram-se Jogos de Percurso, de alvo e eliminação de pontos, em situação de sala de aula, propondo-se a resolução de problemas relacionados à contagem, comparação de quantidade, cálculo e notações. Com base em Sinclair e Sastre & Moreno, foram utilizados indicadores de evolução das notações elaboradas pelas crianças. Na análise dos dados, foram estudados casos nos quais se descreveu o desenrolar das evoluções das respostas de crianças sobre os problemas enfrentados nos diferentes jogos. De um modo geral, observaram-se progressos efetivos das crianças nos conteúdos analisados. Na discussão analisou-se a importância dos tipos de jogos utilizados para o ensino e a aprendizagem dos conteúdos propostos. Consideraram-se também os resultados quanto à evolução das notações, desta pesquisa e as de Sinclair e Sastre & Moreno. Como último ponto, discutiu-se o valor dos jogos para a aprendizagem da Aritmética. Em conclusão, o presente trabalho corrobora a hipótese de que os jogos podem ser um instrumento adequado para a construção da noção de número por alunos da Escola de Educação Infantil. / This study is based on the theoretical concepts advanced by Piaget, Macedo, Kamii, Ifrah, among others. The research was carried out in a private school in the city of São Paulo with 69 students from Pre-school and beginning of Elementary school, from ages three and a half to seven and a half. The purpose was to investigate the hypothesis that the game is a resource in building the notion of number in children if used with pedagogical aim. Path-tracking games, target games and \"shut the box\" game were used in the classroom having as a proposal the resolution of problems related to counting, quantitative comparison, calculation and notation. Indicators of evolution of notations employed by children were considered based on Sinclair and Sastre & Moreno. In data-analysis, case studies were carried out in which the course of evolution of children response to the problems faced in the different games was described. In general, effective progress of children was observed in the contents analysed. In the discussion, the importance of the kinds of games employed for teaching and learning the proposed contents was examined. Both the results of the present research and those of Sinclair and Sastre & Moreno as to the evolution of notation were considered. As a last issue, the benefit of games for learning Arithmetic was discussed. In conclusion, the present work supports the hypothesis that games can be an appropriate instrument for building the notion of numbers in students of Pre-School and beginning of Elementary School.

ANHÃO, P. P. G. - O processo de interação social na inclusão escolar de crianças com Síndrome de Down em educação infantil. 2009. 88p. Dissertação de Mestrado, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Saude na Comunidade, Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, 2009. A atualidade do tema inclusão escolar na rede pública de ensino traz à tona uma série de discussões pertinentes e constituintes deste novo paradigma social, principalmente para as crianças com Síndrome de Down, as quais têm seu processo de desenvolvimento cada vez mais estudado. Pesquisas têm demonstrado as consequências do processo de inclusão junto a esta população. O objetivo geral desta Dissertação é verificar e analisar qualiquantitativamente como se dá o processo de interação social de crianças com Síndrome de Down e crianças com desenvolvimento típico, na rede regular de educação infantil do município de Ribeirão Preto. Os participantes foram crianças com Síndrome de Down, na faixa etária de três a seis anos, que já frequentaram o setor de estimulação precoce da Apae de Ribeirão Preto, e crianças com desenvolvimento típico que frequentavam as mesmas salas dos pares com Síndrome de Down, também na faixa etária de três a seis anos. As filmagens foram analisadas quali-quantitativamente, por meio de categorias que identificaram o processo de interação social desta criança junto aos seus pares, em ambiente escolar. Os resultados apontam que, de maneira geral, não foram observadas diferenças significativamente relevantes entre os comportamentos apresentados pelo grupo de estudo, composto por crianças com Síndrome de Down, e pelo grupo comparado, composto por crianças com desenvolvimento típico. Os comportamentos que apresentaram diferença significativa foram: Estabelece contato inicial com outras pessoas (p=0,017) e Imita outras crianças (p=0,030). O grupo de estudo apresentou maior frequência do comportamento Imita outras crianças quando comparado ao grupo de crianças com desenvolvimento típico. Já o grupo comparado apresentou maior frequência do comportamento Estabelece contato inicial com outras pessoas quando comparado ao grupo de crianças com Síndrome de Down, demonstrando um déficit das habilidades sócias assertivas e mostrando que as habilidades sociais passivas estão mais presentes neste grupo de crianças. O estudo concluiu que nos comportamentos observados e de acordo com a faixa etária estudada, o grupo de crianças com Síndrome de Down abordado, não apresentou características de interação social muito diferentes das crianças com desenvolvimento típico estudadas. Reforçando a importância do processo de inclusão escolar desta população. / ANHÃO, P. P. G. - The interaction process in school inclusion of children with Down syndrome at child education. 2009. 88p. Dissertação de mestrado, Programa de Pós- Graduação em Saúde na Comunidade, Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, 2009. The current issue of school inclusion in the public school system brings to light a series of discussions and relevant components of this new social paradigm, especially for children with Down syndrome, which have their development process increasingly studied. Polls have shown the consequences of the inclusion process with this population. The aim of this is to verify and analyze quali - quantitatively how it gives the process of social interaction of children with Down syndrome and typically developing children in the regular network of child education in the municipality of Ribeirão Preto. Participants were children with Down syndrome, aged from three to six years, which have attended the area of early stimulation of APAE of Ribeirão Preto, and typically developing children who attended the same room of peers with Down syndrome also in age of three to six years. The films were analyzed quali - quantitatively, using categories that identified the process of social interaction of this child with their peers in the school environment. The results show that in general no significant differences were observed between the behaviors presented by the study group, composed of children with Down syndrome, and the comparison group, composed of children with typical development. The behaviors that were significantly different: \"It establishes initial contact with others\" (p = 0017) and \"He imitates other children (p = 0030). The study group showed higher frequency of behavior \"He imitates other children\" when compared to the group of children with typical development. But the comparison group showed greater frequency of behavior \"establishes initial contact with other people\" when compared to the group of children with Down syndrome, showing a deficit of social assertions skills and showing that passive social skills are more present in this group of children. The study concluded that the behaviors observed and according to the age group studied, the group of children with Down syndrome approached showed features of social interaction not very different from typically developing children studied. Reinforcing the importance of the school inclusion in this population. Key words: Pre-school, Down syndrome, Social Interaction, Child.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Ermelinda Barricelli.pdf: 2406283 bytes, checksum: d88b59ce0444a6bf7ecc3ea473048757 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-06-20 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This thesis is aimed at investigating how the interviews of a prescriber, a trainer and a teacher represent in the processes of creating, spreading and using the official document called Orientações Curriculares Expectativas de Aprendizagens e Orientações Didáticas OCs (2007), developed by the City of São Paulo with focus at Pre-school Education. Studying the Pre-school Education history has shown us how fragile this segment is, particularly in Brazil, due to the fact that a) the child is perceived as physically as well as intellectually fragile; and b) thus the transposition of such beliefs to the educational contexts culminates in a split service: taking care and educating. Such contradictions have taken us to consider the hypothesis that historical conflicts would appear somehow in the processes of creating, spreading and using the official document. In order to check this hypothesis the following interviews were analyzed: a) one conducted with the coordinator of the group responsible for elaborating the official document, the prescriber; b) another with a trainer from Diretoria de Orientações Técnicas da Secretaria de Educação de São Paulo; c) and the other interview was performed with a teacher from the public school system run by the City of São Paulo. The interviews were carried out in December, 2008, June 2010 and August 2010, respectively. In this way, we were able to monitor the process since its conception up to the implementation at the Pre-school facilities. It was taken into consideration as our theoretical framework the studies conducted by researchers from CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers), ERGAPE (Ergonomie de l Activité des Professionnels de l Éducation), LAF (Langage, Action, Formation) and ALTER CNPq (Analysis of Language, Educational Work and their Connections) based at LAEL, PUC-SP. The data was analyzed according to the procedures proposed by the Socio-discursive Interactionism (BRONCKART, 1997/2003) in relation to the analysis of some elements of the feuilleté textuel: 1) the general infrastructure of the text (general text plan, thematic content, sequences and types of discourses); 2) mechanisms of textualization (nominal connection) and 3) the enunciative mechanisms (voices). It was also was employed as a category for analysis the action figures from the same theoretical framework (BULEA, 2007, 2010). Therefore, this thesis shows that, on one hand, the processes of creating, spreading and using of a new prescription are made by conflicts related to the dimensions of the job (CLOT, 2008) and, on the other, such conflicts can be linguistically and discursively identified. The relevance of this research lies on to the fact that it was possible to identify linguistic features, which point to conflicts. These linguistic features have enabled us to check how these conflicts have an effect on the above-mentioned processes which is the aim of this research. Consequently, it was possible to acknowledge the outcome when implementing an Educational Public Policy, as well as to conduct a research that also contributes for the Pre-school segment, as there are few studies aimed at the teachers work in this area / O objetivo desta tese é investigar de que forma os textos-entrevistas de uma Prescritora, de uma Formadora e de uma Professora representam os processos de elaboração, de difusão e de utilização de um documento oficial do Município de São Paulo voltado para Educação Infantil - Orientações Curriculares Expectativas de Aprendizagens e Orientações Didáticas OCs (2007). O levantamento de parte da história da Educação Infantil nos mostrou a fragilidade desse segmento, especialmente no Brasil, já que nele se considera a) uma visão de criança marcada pela crença da sua fragilidade física e intelectual; e b) a consequente transposição dessas crenças para os contextos educacionais que culminam em um atendimento dicotomizado entre o cuidar e o educar. Essas contradições, por sua vez, nos levaram à hipótese de que esses conflitos históricos se manifestariam, de alguma forma, nos processos de elaboração, de difusão e de utilização do documento municipal. Para a verificação dessa hipótese propomo-nos a analisar três entrevistas: a) com a coordenadora do grupo de elaboradores do documento oficial do Município de São Paulo, a Prescritora; b) com uma Formadora da Diretoria de Orientações Técnicas da Secretaria de Educação de São Paulo; c) com uma Professora da Rede Municipal de São Paulo. As entrevistas foram realizadas, respectivamente, em dezembro de 2008, em junho de 2010 e em agosto de 2010. Desse modo, pudemos verificar o andamento do processo, desde a sua idealização até a sua chegada à escola de Educação Infantil. Tomamos como base teórica central os estudos realizados por pesquisadores da Clínica da Atividade do CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers), do grupo ERGAPE (Ergonomie de l Activité des Professionnels de l Éducation), do grupo LAF (Langage, Action, Formation) e do grupo ALTER CNPq (Análise de Linguagem, Trabalho Educacional e suas Relações) sediado no LAEL da PUC-SP. Os dados foram analisados de acordo com os procedimentos propostos pelo Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo (BRONCKART, 1997/2003) no tocante à análise de alguns elementos do folhado textual: 1) a infraestrutura geral do texto (plano global, conteúdos temáticos, sequências e tipos de discurso); 2) os mecanismos de textualização (conexão nominal) e 3) os mecanismos enunciativos (vozes). Utilizamos, ainda, como categoria de análise as figuras de ação, desse mesmo aporte teórico (BULEA, 2007, 2010). Assim, esta tese demonstra que os processos de elaboração, de difusão e de utilização de uma nova prescrição se constituem por conflitos relacionados com as dimensões do trabalho (CLOT, 2008) e que esses conflitos, por sua vez, podem ser identificados linguístico e discursivamente. A relevância desta pesquisa deve-se, principalmente, ao fato de termos levantado as marcas linguísticas que nos indicam conflitos verificando de que forma esses conflitos incidem sobre os processos mencionados anteriormente, foco desta pesquisa. Assim, pudemos conhecer os desdobramentos da implantação de uma Política Pública Educacional e, finalmente, a pesquisa contribui também para o segmento de Educação Infantil, já que ainda são escassas as pesquisas voltadas para o trabalho docente nessa área

Introdução Estudos populacionais realizados com crianças evidenciam um aumento no consumo de alimentos ricos em açúcares e de alta densidade energética. Esta mudança nos padrões de consumo tem sido apontada como um dos fatores que favorece o ganho excessivo de peso. Interações entre pais e filhos no contexto alimentar são importantes na formação das preferências infantis e no padrão de ingestão. Objetivo Caracterizar o grau de aceitação de alimentos habituais de pré-escolares e as atitudes e práticas alimentares exercidas por seus pais, de acordo com sexo, idade e estado nutricional. Métodos Quatrocentas crianças de pré-escolas universitárias participaram do estudo. Aplicou-se teste afetivo utilizando-se fotografias de 29 alimentos habituais das crianças e escala hedônica facial de cinco pontos para verificação do grau de gostar. Cento e noventa pais responderam a um questionário sobre atitudes e práticas alimentares frente a alimentação infantil. Testes de Mann-Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis foram feitos para comparação da aceitação de alimentos entre as crianças. Por meio de regressão logística univariada e múltipla analisou-se a relação entre o estado nutricional das crianças e aceitação de alimentos com atitudes e práticas alimentares exercidas pelos pais. Resultados A prevalência de crianças com baixo peso foi de 1,21por cento e a de obesos 9,66por cento . Os alimentos mais aceitos foram os de maior densidade energética e/ou ricos em açúcar. A batata frita foi a preferida. Os fatores associados ao excesso de peso dos pré-escolares foram: a percepção incorreta dos pais quanto ao peso dos filhos, excesso de peso dos pais e a preocupação com o peso da criança, ajustados pela pressão para comer exercida pelos pais. As atitudes e práticas de alimentação dos pais influenciaram na aceitação dos alimentos pelas crianças. Conclusão Independentemente do estado nutricional, os pré-escolares têm preferência por alimentos de alta densidade energética, ricos em gordura e/ou açúcares. Os fatores associados ao excesso de peso das crianças estão relacionados à percepção que os pais têm do peso do filho e do próprio excesso de peso. A influência dos pais no grau de gostar dos alimentos traz questões a serem pesquisadas futuramente / Introduction Epidemiological surveys with children have shown increased intake of sugar rich and energy-dense food. This change in eating patterns has been associated with one of the factors of obesity. Interactions among parents and children regarding dietary practices influence child preferences and eating patterns. Objective - To characterize the degree of acceptance of habitual foods of pre-school children as well feeding practices and attitudes exerted by their parents, according to gender, age and nutritional status. Methods Four hundred pre-school children took part in the study. The affective test using twenty-nine photographs of the childrens habitual foods and 5-point hedonic facial scale, was applied to ascertain degree of liking. One hundred and ninety parents answered a questionnaire on child feeding attitudes and practices. The Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were applied to compare the childrens food acceptance by gender, age and nutritional status. By univariate and multiple logistic regression, it was analyzed the relationship between the childrens nutritional status and food acceptance with parental feeding practices and attitudes. Results Among the children studied, the prevalence of underweight was 1.21per cent and of obesity was 9.66per cent. The foods with highest acceptance were those with high energetic density and/or sugar rich levels. Potato chip was the preferred food. The factors associated to overweight in pre-school children were: parental misperception of childs weight, the parents overweight and concern over the childs weight, adjusted by parental pressure to eat. Parental feeding practices and attitudes influenced the children´s food acceptance. Conclusion Independent of nutritional status, pre-school children have preference for foods with high energetic density, high fat and/or sugar content. The factors associated to children´s overweight are related to parents´ perception of the childs weight and their own overweight status. The parental influence on the child´s food acceptance carries some questions to be investigated

Since the 1980s, a variety of pre-school approaches has existed within the ACT Public School System. These approaches are in theory based on different educational ideologies and principles. The Field Study Project evaluates and compares three different educational models; existing classroom processes and procedures, and student achievements in a 'traditional', a modified Montessori and a Weikart pre-school currently operating in the ACT Public School System. Using selected criteria, an analysis of the three educational models, an ecological survey and student assessments were carried out to make the evaluations and comparisons. The analysis of the three educational models indicate different program orientations and instructional preferences in the different models. The ecological survey results suggest that the 'traditional', the modified Montessori and the Weikart approaches identify with the models they are based on. Nevertheless, educational trends and orientations are similar in the three programs, which are predominantly cognitively oriented. In contrast, teaching styles differ slightly. It is significant that the teacher in the 'traditional' program fulfills a more nurturing role, while her colleagues in the modified Montessori and the Weikart programs fulfill more instructional roles. The evaluation and comparison of the student assessments seems to indicate that there are no significant differences in achievement in drawing, specific cognitive tasks and in self-concept development between matched groups of learners in the three pre-schools. The findings support the notion that middle class children enrolled in approved pre-schools develop cognitive abilities regardless of the type of program they attend. The evaluation and comparison of the three existing approaches in the ACT suggests that the pre-school organisation in the ACT Public School System is still strongly committed to the 'traditional' model, and makes only minor attempts to change educational patterns in pre-school education.

<p>The overall point of the study is to describe and understand the endeavours of the pre-school teachers’ trade union to establish professionalism within this field of work, from the end of the 1960s to 2005. In order to shed light on the subject the main questions asked and answered in this study were: How does the pre-school teachers’ trade union act on issues regarding the autonomy of the pre-school teaching profession? To what extent, and in what way, does the pre-school teachers’ trade union strengthen the pre-school teaching profession’s position by differentiating itself from, and/or allying itself with other professional groups? Which knowledge base is the pre-school teachers’ trade union trying to establish and how does the union act on issues concerning the pre-school teaching profession’s knowledge base? How can these endeavours be understood from a gender perspective? The study presents profession and gender theoretical perspectives. It is based on an analysis of trade-union and official documents concerning pre-school, such as government enquiries, general guidelines and formal instructions.</p><p>The analysis shows that state regulation of pre-school and its teachers has increased over the 45-year period in question. The result of this has been clearer directives but, at the same time, a loss of professional autonomy. The pre-school teachers’ trade unions’ endeavours to establish a professional monopoly through attempting to differentiate the profession by excluding people without a university degree, has been unsuccessful despite exclusion strategies aimed at nursery nurses. A clear effort can be seen to build an alliance with the teachers in compulsory schools. Aside from extending the pre-school teachers’ university training to 3.5 years, it is also evident that the move from care and developmental psychology to pedagogy and learning has been effected through the alliance with the compulsory school teachers. From a gender perspective, the context of pre-school teaching can be seen to have changed symbolically from one primarily intended to provide care and monitor children to a more pedagogical institution. Pre-school teachers have become teachers and children’s learning is emphasised more than their development. Overall this means that the pre-school teachers have a new identity and that pre-school teaching is no longer so clearly a woman’s job.</p>

<p>Syftet var att undersöka förskollärares tolkning av begreppet mobbning samt undersöka hur de arbetar för att förebygga mobbning bland barnen i förskolan och i förskoleklassen.                                                                                     I läroplanerna, Lpo94 och Lpfö98, nämns vikten av att arbeta för att barnen och eleverna ska känna trygghet i skolan. Detta är ett viktigt ämne som är ständigt aktuellt.                                                                                                          Valde att undersöka förskollärarnas uppfattningar genom en enkätstudie. Delade ut 50 enkäter till förskollärare fördelade på 11 förskolor och 5 förskoleklasser. Bortfallet blev 18 stycken.                                                                   Resultatet visar att de arbetar kring frågor som rör mobbning bland barnen på varierande sätt. Endast ett fåtal nämnde likabehandlingsplanen som ett redskap i detta arbete.                                                                                           Nästan hälften av de förskollärare som svarade på enkäten upplever att de inte har den kunskap/utbildning som behövs för att de ska kunna arbeta med att förebygga mobbning på ett för dem tillfredsställande sätt.</p><p>Resultatet av denna studie visar även att de åtta program som presenteras i boken ”På tal om mobbning – och det som görs” som gavs ut av Skolverket under 2009 är okända för förskollärarna i stor utsträckning.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> / <p>The purpose was to investigate preschool teachers interpretation of the concept of bullying and examining how they work to prevent bullying among children in kindergarten and preschool classes. The curriculum, Lpo94 and Lpfö98, mentions the importance of working for children and students to feel safe at school. This is an important topic that is constantly up to date. Chose to investigate preschool teachers perceptions through a survey study. Handed out 50 questionnaires distributed to school teachers in 11 kindergartens and 5 preschool classes. The loss was 18 pieces. The result shows that they are working on issues related to bullying among children in different ways. Only a few mentioned the treatment plan as a tool in this work. Almost half of the preschool teacher respondents feel they do not have the skills / education needed for them to work to prevent bullying satisfactorily for them. The results of this study also shows that the eight programs outlined in the book “På tal om mobbning – och det som görs” which was issued by the School Board in 2009 is unknown to the preschool teachers to a great extent.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
