TITLE:Family and School Socialization of Children with ADHD AUTHOR: Zuzana Bílková DEPARTMENT: Department of Psychology SUPERVISOR: Doc. PhDr. Isabella Pavelková, CSc. ABSTRACT: The thesis is focused on the process of socialization of children with ADHD in family and school setting. We present the overview of current research about etiologies, symptoms and therapy of the syndrome. The socialization is defined as the process of interactions between individual and his social and cultural background. ADHD symptoms are considered to be an important factor in socialization process, particularly as the factor affecting the relationships with parents and teachers. The research is focused on children of preschool and school age. We pose research questions concerning the influence of setting the diagnosis, the influence of ADHD on child's relationships with educators and the influence of the diagnosis on the relationship between family and school. Data were collected during interviews with parents and teachers of children with ADHD and during observation of children in their home or school. Data were analysed by qualitative analytic methods. Research outcomes point out the importance of educators' attitudes towards the problem, the importance of early setting a diagnosis and important role of motivational...

This qualitative study investigated parents’ and principals’ expectations of their roles in the parent-school relationship and how they defined, encouraged, and realized parental involvement within an urban Catholic high school setting. Through pattern analysis and axial coding of the data collected from parents and principal interviews, documents, and observations at parent-school meetings and events, four patterns emerged: (a) the underlying child-centered mission, (b) the parents’ role in supporting the student, (c) the parent-school relationship created to support the student, and (d) the principals’ role in creating a trusting environment that promotes parental involvement. Further analysis was guided by the parental involvement frameworks of Epstein (2001) and Barton, Drake, Perez, St. Louis, and George (2004) and the Catholic school mission. The findings revealed that the child-centered goal guided the parents’ and principals’ expectations of shared responsibilities, although the parents varied in how they defined parental involvement activities. Parents expressed the importance of the school’s role in creating a caring and respectful environment that encouraged a strong parent-school relationship. The principals addressed the Catholic school mission and how they developed the school culture, climate, and environment to support that mission. This study author concluded that Catholic schools have the opportunity to create strong parent-school relationships that encourage differentiated parental involvement. In addition, she concluded that the role of all schools is to provide a relationship built on trust and the knowledge that parental involvement requires consideration of the varied types of involvement and ways in which parents choose to mediate the types of parental involvement.

Esta Tese tem como objeto de estudo a compreensão das mútuas influências exercidas entre escola e família no processo de inclusão escolar. Seu objetivo foi o de identificar como a inclusão escolar da criança com deficiência visual influencia sua relação familiar e como esta reflete no processo de inclusão destas crianças. O relacionamento familiar e a inclusão escolar, temas de grande relevância para a compreensão do desenvolvimento e interação dos indivíduos com deficiência, tem sido objeto de investigações, contudo acerca das influências entre eles nada foi encontrado no rastreamento realizado nas fontes pertinentes ao tema. Esta investigação é composta por um estudo em profundidade de quatro famílias nas quais havia crianças com cegueira ou com baixa visão. Pautou-se pela modalidade de abordagem qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória coletando dados das famílias, de professores e da coordenadora de instituição especializada. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi estruturadas com as crianças com deficiência visual, com suas mães e com a coordenadora da instituição especializada e levantados dados por meio de questionário dos professores da escola regular que atuavam com esses alunos. A análise desse material registrado por escrito evidenciou o papel fundamental da interação entre famíliaescola para o processo de inclusão escolar. Ficou assinalado que as famílias ao estabelecerem atitudes cooperativas junto à escola favoreciam a inclusão, da mesma forma que, na escola, atitudes de abertura e disponibilidade para atender às necessidades específicas dos alunos com deficiência, configuraram-se como fundamentais para a interação e desenvolvimento dos mesmos. A análise evidenciou que a inserção do aluno com deficiência visual na escola afetava a dinâmica familiar, alterando-a e trazendo para as famílias novas perspectivas acerca do desenvolvimento da criança e das expectativas e confiança nela. Constatou, também, que atitudes de preconceito, barreiras atitudinais e déficit na formação de professores afetavam de forma negativa o processo de inclusão. É a preocupação com as condições educacionais para o desenvolvimento de crianças com deficiência visual que deu sentido ao mergulho junto às famílias das crianças deste estudo com o objetivo de compreender e identificar as mútuas influências exercidas entre escola e família nesse processo de inclusão escolar e social. A reflexão sobre os dados desta pesquisa confirmam que a relação entre escola e família influencia diretamente a inclusão do aluno com deficiência no ambiente escolar. A relevância das relações escola família para o processo de inclusão sugere que se de continuidade aos estudos sobre este tema para aprofundar a compreensão a esse respeito. / The framework study of this thesis is the understanding of the mutual influence role exerted between family - school , during the scholar inclusion process.The thesis objective is to identify how the process of scholar inclusion of visual deficient child influences his familiar relationship, and reversely, how the family influences the child in the process of scholar inclusion. The familiar relationship and the scholar inclusion process is a highly relevant theme to understand the deficient child development and interaction. Besides being subject of investigations , nothing has been found by consulting pertinent sources related to the mutual influence role over the mentioned theme. The carried out investigation is a broad study over children with blindness or subnormal vision involving four families. The investigation was taken based upon qualitative,descriptive and exploratory approachs by gathering data from the family, professors and specialized institution coordinators. Semi structural interviews were conducted with deficient children, their respective mothers, and specialized institution coordinators. The regular school teachers of these children responded to a questionnaire for data gathering. The written recorded data analysis has made evident the fundamental role of the family - school interaction regarding to the scholar inclusion process. The family cooperative attitude regarding to the school has remarkably favoured this process. At the school side, the opening and availability attitudes, in attendig the visual deficient student, are fundamental elements for the interaction and development of them. The gathered data analysis has brought into light that the familiar dynamics was affected by the visual deficient insertion at school.The familiar dynamics was altered bringing new perspective to the family regarding to the child development, hopes and trust. It was also found that discriminating attitudes, behaving manner restriction and professors inadequate formation, negatively affected the inclusion process. The main concern of this thesis is the educational condition regarding the visual deficient child. To the referred concern was givem a motive for a study involving the family of the visual deficient child. The objective aimed at this study was the understanding and identification of mutual influences as exerted between the school and family in the social and scholar inclusion process. The findings drawn from the searching data lead to a conclusion that the relationship between school and the family, directly influences the student with visual deficiency inclusion in the scholar environment. The relevant relationship between family and school in the inclusion porcess put forward for consideration a study continuity to deeply understand this theme.

However, there are few studies which focus on the choosing of education within the private education sector in our country, especially with regards to the less wealthy population. It is within this context that the present study aims to understand the strategies which families adopt when choosing a private school in the city of Guarulhos. To this end, nine families, which had enrolled their children in the first year of secondary school in 2017, were selected, since the latter education level had the largest number of enrolments. The methodology followed was the use of semi-structured interviews with the families, which were later analysed and categorised from the standpoint of analysis of the discussion arising out of the interviews. The study showed that the procedure used in selecting an education institution is influenced by the perception of what constitutes a good school, as formed by the various life and social experiences undergone by the families. It was shown that the strategies used by the family group in the selection of a school are limited, since they are adopted as a means of avoiding public schools and are restricted by the family's financial situation. Nevertheless, some strategies stood out throughout the school selection process, namely: pedagogical issues, family financial situation, academic environment, geographic location, school staff, infrastructure, and information gathered about the education establishment and its extra-curriculum activities / Este estudo parte de constatação, baseada nos dados do Censo Escolar Inep/MEC dos últimos anos, de que há uma expansão contínua do número de matrículas e de escolas particulares da educação básica no Brasil, bem como no estado de São Paulo e na cidade de Guarulhos. No entanto, ainda são poucos os estudos voltados à educação privada sob o prisma da escolha de escola no País, principalmente no que tange à população menos abastada. Diante desse contexto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo compreender as estratégias que as famílias lançavam mão no processo de escolha de escola por uma unidade particular de Guarulhos. Para tanto, foram selecionadas nove famílias que haviam matriculado os filhos no sexto ano do ensino fundamental em 2017, visto que esse nível de ensino foi o que teve o maior número de novas matrículas. O procedimento metodológico pautou-se pelo uso de entrevistas semiestruturadas com as famílias, sendo, posteriormente, analisadas e categorizadas sob a ótica da análise do discurso. Os resultados evidenciaram que o processo de escolha de estabelecimento de ensino é influenciado pela concepção de boa escola, através de experiências vivenciadas e socialmente construídas pelas famílias. Verificou-se que as estratégias utilizadas pelo grupo familiar na escolha de escola são limitadas, uma vez que se dão mediante o evitamento da escola pública, mas que esbarram nas condições financeiras da família. Contudo, algumas estratégias se destacaram ao longo do processo de escolha da escola, a saber: questões pedagógicas; questões financeiras da família; o ambiente escolar; a localização geográfica da escola; a sua infraestrutura; os seus funcionários; as informações obtidas sobre o estabelecimento de ensino; e as atividades extraclasse ofertadas na instituição

De modo mais específico, examina como a forma de vida da colonização alemã do Rio Grande do Sul, iniciada no século XIX, entrelaça-se com a forma de vida daquela escola; analisa como, do ponto de vista pedagógico, a classe multisseriada da EMEF Tiradentes estava organizada; discute como os participantes da pesquisa descreveram a relação das famílias com a escola por meio da prática do dever de casa; e, quanto à educação matemática e no que se refere ao dever de casa dessa área do currículo, identifica como foram descritos pelos participantes os jogos de linguagem praticados pelas famílias e aqueles praticados na forma de vida escolar. As ferramentas teóricas do estudo estão vinculadas ao campo da Etnomatemática, em seus entrecruzamentos com as teorizações de Michel Foucault, e às ideias de Wittgenstein apresentadas em sua obra Investigações Filosóficas. O material de pesquisa consiste em entrevistas realizadas com sete famílias vinculadas à EMEF Tiradentes, em entrevista com a professora da classe multisseriada, em observação de aulas e de reunião de pais e na análise de documentos da EMEF Tiradentes. Os principais resultados da investigação apontam que: não foram encontrados indícios que pudessem relacionar a forma de vida da colonização alemã do Rio Grande do Sul com a forma de vida da EMEF Tiradentes; a gramática da matemática escolar praticada naquela classe multisseriada era constituída por um conjunto de jogos de linguagem marcados pela escrita e pelo formalismo presente no uso de algoritmos; o auxílio ao dever de casa era considerado pelas famílias como uma das principais vias para sua participação em questões educacionais; foi possível, finalmente, identificar semelhanças de família entre os jogos de linguagem matemáticos praticados pela forma de vida escolar e aqueles praticados pelas famílias quando auxiliavam seus filhos nos deveres de casa de Matemática. / The Master Dissertation aims at discussing the family-school relationship with regards to mathematics education, more specifically, this relationship in the EMEF Tiradentes, peasant multigrade school located in Novo Hamburgo, municipality of German colonization of the region of Vale do Rio dos Sinos - RS. In a specific way, it examines how the form of life of German colonization of Rio Grande do Sul started in the nineteenth century is intertwined with the form of life of that school; analyzes how, from the pedagogical point of view, that multigrade class of was organized; discusses how the participants described the family relationships with school through the practice of homework, and, about mathematics education in relation to school mathematics homework, identifies as are described by the participants of the language games and practiced by the families and that practiced in the form of school life. The theoretical tools of the study are linked to the field of Ethnomathematics in their intersections with the theories of Michel Foucault and Wittgenstein's ideas which were presented in his book Philosophical Investigations. The research material consists of interviews with seven families linked to EMEF Tiradentes, interview with the teacher of the multigrade class, classroom observation and parents meeting and analysis of documents EMEF Tiradentes. The main research findings indicate that: regarding the practices of EMEF Tiradentes there is no evidence that can relate the life form of German colonization of Rio Grande do Sul with the way of life of EMEF Tiradentes. The grammar of the school mathematics practiced in the class of multisseriate EMEF Tiradentes was consisted of a set of language games marked by writing and present formalism in the use of algorithms; the families described the aid to homework as a major form of family involvement in the educational issues, and was possible to identify family resemblances that approached the mathematical language games practiced by way of school life and the language games practiced by the families when these helped their children with their math homeworks.

This study is an historical study of parent participation in school level decision making, particularly in curriculum issues, in relation to the Victorian Government policies of Devolution through the 1980s. It was conducted as a case study of one rural secondary school, examining how the role of parents in the school�s curriculum development and associated decision making structures may have changed during the decade from the early 1980s to the early 1990s. Three conceptual models were established, which served as analytical frameworks for the field data: a Theory model of how school level participation could operate, a Policies model deriving from the expectations of the major Government policies of the time, and an Historical model based on research and analyses of practice in Australia and overseas. The findings indicate that little effective parent participation developed or took place in the school over the period under study. Major contributing factors identified are the lack of policy direction and official mechanisms, especially in implementation of change, the definition of appropriate participant roles, the culture of traditional authorities in education (teacher in the classroom, principal in school processes and bureaucracy in administration), and the local factors of community attitudes and demographic profile. While the local factors are significant, it is concluded that the policies did not provide sufficient direction or mechanism to overcome the entrenched culture of traditional authorities in schooling. Changes in practice were directed more by the influence of specific personalities in single situations than any development of general attitude or institutional structure.

This research examined the impact on parents and carers of having a child placed at a residential special school for abused, neglected and traumatised primary aged children. The school is developing its work with families and carers, because if relationships at home are improved, children are more likely to benefit from the placement at Stowbury. Although it is the child who is referred, establishing a good working relationship with parents and carers is vital in helping them with their child’s return home. The study focused on parental experiences of the child’s first year at the school, using interviews at the start of placement and then twelve months later. The data were analysed using a comparative thematic analysis at two time points and a secondary narrative analysis. Researcher reflexivity is used and where appropriate the findings are discussed from a psychoanalytic perspective. The analysis found that during the first year the children make positive changes. Birth parents were helped with their parenting, particularly the (re)establishment of parental boundaries. In contrast, some foster carers found it difficult to share the parenting role, and tensions between home and school were identified. Some parents and carers found it difficult to reflect on their role and relationship with their child. In general, parents and carers expected their child to be able to go to mainstream school when they left Stowbury, and after one year some realised that was unlikely. The study concludes that the experience of foster carers could be improved if they were helped to increase their ability to reflect on their parenting role. In addition, sharing the parenting of this group of children can cause tension between parents, carers and staff. There are training implications for the professionals involved. This research makes an original contribution to knowledge about the psychodynamics that develop in the relationships between the parents, carers and staff looking after abused children in a residential school.

Este estudo consiste em uma pesquisa qualitativa cuja proposta foi investigar como as crianças, em suas interações, produzem significados em relação ao seu pertencimento a um grupo etário e com outro grupo de idade na instituição escolar, com o objetivo de evidenciar o que as crianças pensam e como são as suas relações na escola graduadas por idades, bem como as relações entre os grupos de crianças. Foram utilizadas as seguintes estratégias metodológicas: observações participantes e entrevistas coletivas. Participaram da pesquisa 29 crianças entre cinco e nove anos de idade da EI e do EF de uma mesma instituição escolar, situada no município de Porto Alegre. O estudo foi realizado com esses dois níveis de ensino, pois eles apresentam expectativas e finalidades educativas diferenciadas, podendo ocorrer dessemelhanças entre as formas como as crianças dos dois grupos vivem na escola, através das seguintes categorias: o tempo e o espaço escolar, as práticas adultocêntricas, os rituais e significados sociais em relação à idade, o brincar e as possibilidades de relação entre os grupos, as diferenciações etárias entre as crianças, protagonismos destas e o grupo etário enquanto um sub-geração. São apresentados os significados construídos pelas crianças frente ao pertencimento etário, as práticas diferenciadas dos grupos pela determinação espaçotemporal da escola, juntamente com os estatutos que elas recebem em cada nível de ensino, os protagonismos que as crianças realizam para garantir na escola as culturas infantis e a problematização da idade como o fator que forma uma sub-geração. / This study consists in a qualitative research whose proposal was to investigate how children, in their interactions, give meanings in relation to their belonging to an age group and to other age groups, in school institution, intending to highlight what children think and how are their relationships in a school graded by ages as well how are relationships among groups of children. The following methodological strategies were used: participant observations and collective interviews. Participated of the research 29 (twenty-nine) children between 5 (five) and 9 (nine) years old from CS (Child School) and from BE (Basic Education) of the same school institution, located in Porto Alegre City. The study was made with these two levels of the knowledge process since they present different expectations and educational ends. It can occur dissimilarities between the ways how children of both groups live in school, through the following categories: the time and the school space, the adult centered practices, the rituals and the social meanings in relation to the age, the playing, and the possibilities of relationship among the groups, the age differentiations among children, their protagonisms and the age group while a sub generation. The meaning created by children are presented considering the age belonging, the different practices of the groups determined by the space-time of school as well the statutes they receive in every level of teaching, the protagonisms children perform to guarantee, in school, the child cultures and the problematization of the age as the factor that forms a sub generation.
