O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a importância da sexualidade infantil e do desenvolvimento psicossexual da criança para a formação do indivíduo, e a forma pela qual são tratadas estas esferas da vida da pessoa pelas instituições sociais. Através de estudos de autores da primeira geração da Escola de Frankfurt, desenvolveu-se uma discussão sobre a importância da Família, da Educação e da vivência da sexualidade pelo indivíduo para a formação. Partindo da hipótese de que a sexualidade infantil desempenha papel central na formação do indivíduo, interessou-nos saber, como esta esfera do desenvolvimento da criança é abordada nas Políticas Públicas para a Educação Infantil no Brasil. Pudemos constatar, através do estudo teórico, que o autoritarismo e a negligência do adulto em suas atitudes diante das manifestações da sexualidade infantil, podem contribuir para a formação de um indivíduo regredido, propenso a seguir governos autoritários, e que a formação para a autonomia, necessária à resistência ao sistema capitalista e a sociedade de massas, depende tanto de limites, estabelecidos pelo adulto, a alguns desejos da criança, quanto do apoio à manifestação natural da sua sexualidade. Averiguamos a partir da pesquisa das Políticas Públicas para a Educação Infantil que a abordagem desta temática é quase inexistente nos documentos analisados, e quando ela se apresenta, é feita de forma superficial e insuficiente para a promoção do esclarecimento sexual, extremamente necessário para os profissionais da educação, figuras importantes para a formação da criança. Concluímos que a Educação, que deve promover resistência à violência e à opressão produzidas pela sociedade capitalista, tem como responsabilidade o esclarecimento sexual para a prevenção da formação do indivíduo regredido / This present research aims to analyze the importance of childhood sexuality and the childs psychosexual development to the individuals development, and how these aspects of life are perceived by social institutions. Through the studies of researchers from the first generation of the Frankfurt Institute, we discussed the importance of Family, Education, and the individuals experience of sexuality in their development. Based on the hypothesis that childhood sexuality plays a central role in the individuals development, we were interested in investigating how this aspect of the childs development is addressed in the Public Policies for Preschool Education in Brazil. Through theoretical study we came to the conclusion that authoritarianism and adults negligent attitudes towards manifestations of childhood sexuality, can contribute to the formation of a regressed individual, inclined to follow authoritarian governments, and that the development of autonomy, crucial to resisting capitalism and the society of the masses, depends on the limits imposed by adults on some of the childs wishes, and on the support of the natural manifestations of their sexuality. From research carried out about the Public Policies for Preschool Education, we could conclude that guidelines along this theme are almost non-existent in the documents analyzed, and when the subject is discussed, it is done superficially and insufficiently for the purpose of promoting sexual enlightenment, which is extremely necessary for teachers, who are important figures in childrens education. We conclude that Education as a whole has the responsibility to promote sexual enlightenment in children in order to prevent the development of regressed individuals and to resist the violence and the oppression inherent in capitalist society

O presente estudo pretendeu, por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa investigar quais os critérios utilizados pelas professoras das pré-escolas públicas do município de Osasco para promover alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais, assim denominados por apresentarem deficiência intelectual, de uma fase para outra e após essa etapa de escolarização. O suporte teórico fundamentou-se na legislação educacional nacional, estadual e municipal, além de produções de autores renomados na área sobre educação infantil, educação especial e avaliação da aprendizagem. Utilizaram-se, também, documentos internacionais que subsidiaram a elaboração de legislação nacional referente ao atendimento de pessoas com necessidades educacionais especiais. Foram selecionadas duas escolas, uma na zona Norte e outra na zona Sul do referido município. Fizeram parte da amostra cinco professoras e cinco alunos que se encaixavam no objetivo da pesquisa. Para complementar os dados coletados junto às professoras, foram entrevistadas também as ex-diretoras das escolas, assim como especialistas da Equipe de Apoio Interdisciplinar. Da análise das entrevistas, verificou-se que as professoras apontaram a idade como sendo critério para promoção dos alunos, tanto de uma fase para outra, como após a pré-escola. Contudo, em alguns casos, os alunos permaneciam por mais tempo na pré-escola o que era justificado pelas necessidades específicas apresentadas por eles e a permanência nessa etapa por mais tempo era avaliada, nesses casos, como benéfica para seu desenvolvimento e aprendizagem. A partir dos dados coletados, verificou-se que as escolas que fizeram parte da amostra da pesquisa adotam, para a quase totalidade dos alunos, a concepção de avaliação utilizada na Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação (Lei nº 9394/96) para a educação infantil, não tendo, assim, finalidade de promoção nem mesmo para acesso ao ensino fundamental. / This study aimed, using a qualitative approach, to investigate which criterion were used by the preschool teachers in public schools in the municipality of Osasco to promote students with special needs, so called for presenting intellectual deficiency, from one phase to another and after this stage of education. The theoretical support was based on the national, state and municipal educational legislation, besides the productions of famous authors in the area on preschool education, special education and evaluation of learning. It was also used international documents that helped the development of the national legislation about attention to people with special educacional needs. Two schools, one in the North zone and another one in the South zone of the city that had been selected. Five teachers and five students, who fit in the objective of the research, had been part of the sample. The formerdirectors of the schools had also been interviewed, as well as specialists of the Equipe de Apoio Interdisciplinar to complement the data collected from the teachers. From the analysis of the interviews, it was verified that the teachers had pointed the age as the criterion of student´s promotion from one phase to another and after preschool. However, in some cases the students remained for more time in the preschool, what was justified by the student´s specific needs and their longer permanence at this stage was evaluated as beneficial to theis development and learning. From the collected data, it was verified that the schools that had been part of the sample of the research adopt, for almost all students, the conception of evaluation used in Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação (Law nº 9394/96) to early childhood education, so it does not have the purpose of promotion, nor the access to primary school.

O presente trabalho buscou investigar o brincar de crianças com deficiência mental em escolas especiais de educação infantil. Para tanto, teve por objetivos: identificar os jogos e brinquedos disponíveis e mais utilizados; investigar como essas atividades eram realizadas e, por fim, investigar também a concepção sobre o brincar e seu significado, atribuído pelas professoras. Participaram da pesquisa 15 professoras de educação especial, de 5 escolas especiais da cidade de Campinas. Foi utilizado um questionário check-list para identificar a disponibilidade e a freqüência de uso dos materiais lúdicos. Posteriormente, foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas para verificar como esses materiais eram utilizados e investigar a concepção e a importância do brincar entre as professoras. O referencial teórico deste trabalho reportou-se a autores como Itard, Séguin e Decroly, que representam as origens desta prática na educação especial, pois desenvolveram métodos e técnicas utilizando-se de jogos nas suas variadas acepções, aplicando-os a crianças deficientes mentais. Baseia-se também nos trabalhos sobre o jogo na educação e no desenvolvimento infantil, tendo como referência teórica Vygotsky, Leontiev e a perspectiva sócio-cultural representada por Brougère. A análise e a discussão dos resultados encontrados permitiram a formulação de algumas reflexões sobre a utilização de jogos e brincadeiras na prática educacional com crianças deficientes mentais. Por fim, buscou-se contribuir para a valorização das capacidades dessas crianças, sugerindo alternativas de reorganização das estratégias de ação dos professores e de outros profissionais da área, com base em uma perspectiva lúdica. / The present work tried to investigate the playing of mentally disabled children at special schools of child education. To do so, we aimed to identify the most used games and toys available, investigate how these activities were carried out, and, finally, also investigate the conception of playing and its meaning, according to teachers. Fifteen special education teachers in five special schools in the city of Campinas participated in the research. A check-list questionnaire was used to identify the availability and the frequency of use of materials. Later, semi-structured interviews were performed to verify how these playful materials were used and to investigate the conception and the importance of playing to the teachers. The theoretical reference of this work goes back to authors such as Itard, Séguin and Decroly, who developed methods and techniques using games in their different senses, applicable to mentally disabled children and which represent the origins of this practice in special education. It is also based on the works about playing in child education and development, theoretically referring to Vygotsky, Leontiev and the social-cultural perspective, represented by Brougère. The analysis and the discussion of the found results have allowed the formulation of some reflections about the use of games and playing in the educational practice with mentally disabled children. Finally, we tried to contribute to the appreciation of the skills of such children, suggesting alternatives to the reorganization of the action strategies by teachers and other professionals in the area, based upon a playful perspective. RÉSUMÉ SILVA, Carla Cilene Baptista da. La place du jeu et du jouet dans les écoles spéciales d’éducation infantile. São Paulo, 2003. 185p. Thèse Doctorat. Institut de Psychologie, Université de São Paulo. Ce travail a cherché à comprendre le jeu d’enfants handicapés dans des écoles spéciales d’éducation infantile. Pour ce faire, il a eu trois buts: identifier les jeux et les jouets disponibles et plus utilisés; découvrir comment ces activités étaient réalisées et aussi examiner la conception sur l’acte de jouer et sa signification, selon les professeurs. Quinze professeurs d’éducation spéciale, appartenant à cinq écoles spéciales de la ville de Campinas, ont participé de cette recherche. Un questionnaire chest-list a été employé pour identifier la disponibilité des matériels ludiques et la fréquence de leur usage. Dans la suite, des interviews semi-structurées ont été faites pour vérifier comment ces matériels ont été utilisés et pour découvrir l’importance de l’acte de jouer pour les professeurs. Le référentiel théorique de ce travail se base sur des auteurs tels que Itard, Séguin et Decroly, qui ont développé des méthodes et des techniques où les jeux sont utilisés dans leurs plus diverses acceptions, les mettant en pratique avec des enfants handicapés mentaux et qui représentent l’origine de cette pratique dans l’éducation spéciale. Nous nous sommes aussi fondés sur les travaux à propos du jeu en éducation et dans le développement infantile, prenant comme référence théorique Vygotsky, Leontiev et la perspective socio-culturelle représentée par Brougère. L’analyse et la discussion des résultats obtenus ont permis la formulation de quelques réflexions sur l’utilisation de jouets et des jeux d’enfants dans la pratique éducationnelle auprès des enfants handicapés mentaux. Enfin, on a cherché à contribuer à la valorisation des capacités de ces enfants, ainsi on suggère des alternatives de re-organisation d’action des professeurs et d’autres professionnels du secteur, s’appuyant sur une perspective ludique.

Este estudio se interesa por comprender el aprendizaje inicial de la escritura de textos en la situación escolar de reescritura de textos a partir de la lectura de libros de literatura infantil en los primeros cursos de Educación Primaria. La hipótesis central es que la actividad de reescribir y, en particular, de reescribir textos procedentes de libros de literatura infantil, constituye una herramienta potente en la alfabetización inicial. Siguiendo la tradición empírica y conceptual de investigaciones anteriores (Teberosky, 1989, 1990, 1992), en esta investigación la reescritura de textos cumple una doble función, como estrategia de enseñanza y aprendizaje de la escritura de textos, y como procedimiento de investigación para la obtención de datos sobre los aprendizajes infantiles. La investigación hace un seguimiento de las producciones escritas de un grupo de diez niños durante los tres primeros cursos de Educación Primaria. Los textos eran producidos en la condición de reescritura de textos de libros de literatura infantil leídos y comentados en el aula de clase. Los principales objetivos del estudio son, en primer lugar, describir los aprendizajes sobre la escritura de textos obtenidos por este grupo de niños durante los tres primeros cursos de Educación Primaria y, en segundo lugar, explorar los procedimientos lingüísticos que utilizaron para establecer equivalencias entre sus textos y los textos fuente, e identificar si el recurso a dichos procedimientos varía o no en función del tiempo y la intervención educativa. De esta manera, el estudio de las producciones infantiles compiladas dio lugar a dos grandes análisis, el primero se centró en los cambios observados durante y entre los cursos escolares en tres indicadores de aprendizaje de la escritura de textos: a) la productividad textual, medida en el número total de palabras; b) la complejidad textual, medida en el número de palabras diferentes, y en el número de conjunciones coordinantes y subordinantes; y c) la incorporación de convenciones, medida en el número de signos de puntuación. Además, se explora la relación de los resultados obtenidos en las medidas de productividad textual e incorporación de convenciones con la escritura en los textos de discurso directo, esta unidad fue medida en el número de palabras escritas en discurso directo. El segundo análisis se centró en describir las relaciones de similaridad entre textos fuente (los libros de literatura infantil) y los textos resultantes (las reescrituras infantiles); para ello se identificaron las formas compartidas y las formas no compartidas entre cada texto fuente y sus correspondientes textos resultantes, se trata de un análisis de conexión lexical (de types) entre los textos. En cuanto a los resultados, por una parte, el estudio de los cambios longitudinales muestra que, en general, los niños escribieron textos cada vez más productivos, complejos y con recurso a un mayor número de convenciones del sistema de escritura. Las puntuaciones máximas obtenidas en los indicadores de productividad textual y de incorporación de convenciones fueron explicadas por la proporción de texto escrita en discurso directo, sin embargo, a partir de Segundo de Primaria los aprendizajes obtenidos en estas áreas no se restringieron a la escritura de este tipo de unidad textual. Por otra parte, el estudio de las relaciones de similaridad entre textos fuente y textos resultantes muestra que la actividad de reescribir colocó a los niños en una situación discursiva que osciló entre la citación y la paráfrasis. Desde las dos perspectivas consideradas, la de las formas compartidas y la de las formas no compartidas, encontramos que las condiciones educativas potenciaron la construcción de una atención progresiva hacia la textualidad de los libros leídos, atención que se observa en una tendencia progresiva al uso de las mismas palabras. Este trabajo suma evidencias en torno a las propuestas de comprensión del fenómeno de la alfabetización inicial como dominio de las actividades orientadas textualmente (Pontecorvo, 1996), actividades de interfase entre oralidad, lectura y escritura (Goody, 1987; Ferreiro, 2001), en las que es posible encontrar la diversidad de realizaciones escritas y orales de la lengua, la diversidad de objetivos y de medios (Blanche-Benveniste, 2008), la diversidad de modos en los que se usa el lenguaje para crear textos (Olson, 2009). / This study seeks to understand the early learning of writing texts during the initial years of primary education through the activity of rewriting texts based on reading children’s literature books at school. The central hypothesis is that the activity of rewriting, and particularly rewriting texts from children’s literature, constitutes a powerful tool in early literacy teaching. Following the empirical and conceptual tradition of previous research (Teberosky, 1989, 1990, 1992), rewriting texts performs a dual function in this study: as a teaching and learning strategy for writing texts, and as a research procedure in order to gather data on children’s learning. The study followed the written productions of a group of ten children during the first three years of primary education. The texts were produced by rewriting texts from children’s literature books which had been read and discussed in the classroom. The main aims of the study were, firstly, to describe the learning with respect to writing texts achieved by this group of children during the first three years of primary education; and secondly, to explore the linguistic procedures which they used to establish equivalencies between their texts and the source texts, and determine whether resorting to these procedures varied or not over time and based on educational intervention. The study of the children’s compiled productions therefore gave rise to two main analyses. The first focussed on the changes observed during and between school years on three indicators of learning to write texts: a) textual productivity, measured as the total number of words; b) textual complexity, measured as the number of different words and the number of coordinate and subordinate conjunctions; and c) the use of conventions, measured as the number of punctuation marks. In addition, the relationship between the results obtained on the measures of textual productivity and use of conventions and writing in direct speech was analysed, the latter measured as the number of words written in direct speech. The second analysis focussed on describing the relationships of similarity between the source texts (the children’s literature books) and the resulting texts (the children’s rewritings), by identifying the shared forms and unshared forms between each source text and its corresponding resulting texts. This consisted of an analysis of the lexical connection between the texts. In terms of the results, on the one hand, the study of the longitudinal changes showed that the children generally wrote increasingly productive and complex texts with an increasing number of writing system conventions. The maximum scores obtained on the textual productivity and use of conventions indicators were related to the proportion of text written in direct speech. However, from the second year of primary education onwards, learning achieved in these areas was not restricted to writing this type of textual unit. On the other hand, the study of the relationships of similarity between the source texts and the resulting texts showed that the activity of rewriting placed the children in a discursive situation which ranged between quoting and paraphrasing. From the two perspectives under consideration, of shared forms and unshared forms, the educational conditions were found to promote the construction of an increasing attention towards the textuality of the books which were read, and this attention was observed as an increasing tendency to use the same words. This study provides additional evidence to support proposals for understanding the phenomenon of early literacy acquisition as the mastering of textually-oriented activities (Pontecorvo, 1996); activities which interface between orality, reading and writing (Goody, 1987, Ferreiro, 2001), which include the diversity of written and oral productions of the language, the diversity of objectives and mediums (Blanche-Benveniste, 2008), and the diversity of the ways in which language is used to create texts (Olson, 2009).

This dissertation investigates the ways in which pre-k teachers understood the math content that they were to teach and their math instruction. To investigate this, a qualitative case study examining five pre-k teachers was conducted. Data sources included observation field notes, teacher interviews, and documents such as state and district pre-k guidelines. The findings from this dissertation suggest that pre-k teachers’ knowledge entails both knowledge of subject matter and pedagogical content knowledge. In addition, this study identified what these pre-k teachers knew about math and teaching/learning math as well as what they still needed to know to provide high quality and effective math instruction. Chapter 1 introduces my research question and important terms, such as mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT). Chapter 2 synthesizes relevant literature in the area of effective math instruction, theoretical framework of teachers’ mathematical knowledge for teaching and early mathematics education. The literature review seeks to highlight the importance of early childhood teachers’ deep understanding of mathematical content and of their math instruction. Chapter 3 forwards the specific conceptual framework for this study while detailing the methodology that guided this investigation including data gathering and analysis. Chapter 4 presents the findings from this research. It examines pre-k teachers’ understanding of mathematical content that they are to teach and their knowledge of how to teach mathematics. Chapter 5 addresses the significance of these two major findings. First, I discuss the four types of mathematical knowledge and skills that these pre-k teachers possess. I also compare and contrast them with the teacher knowledge examined in the literature. Then, by examining research literature on early math education, I suggest what mathematical knowledge and skills they still need to attain to offer high-quality and effective math instruction. This dissertation concludes with a discussion of implication for teachers, teacher educators, and suggestions for future research. / text
