Orientador: Tânia Gracy Martins do Valle / Banca: Maria de Lourdes Merighi Tabaquim / Banca: José Gualberto Tuga Martins Angerami / Resumo: A intoxicação por chumbo é prejudicial ao desenvolvimento das crianças, sendo potencializada por outras variáveis ambientais e sociais como: alimentação inadequada, pobreza, baixa renda e qualidade da estimulação e interação fornecidas pelos pais e escola. Isso posto, o presente estudo tem por objetivo geral comparar o desempenho intelectual de crianças com alta e baixa plumbemia com os estilos parentais nas respectivas interações com os filhos. Para isso, foi utilizada a Escala Wechsler de Inteligência - WISC-III; Roteiro de Anammese e o IEP (Inventário de Estilos Parentais). Este estudo foi realizado com 80 participantes - 40 crianças, de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 7 e 13 anos; e 40 pais (pai e mãe), todos moradores da área de risco próximo ao local de contaminação. As crianças foram divididas em dois grupos: G1 - 20 crianças com alta plumbemia (superior a 10μg/dl); e G2 - 20 crianças com baixa plumbemia (inferior a 10μ/dl). Com as informações coletadas, procedeu-se a análise estatística com Teste do Mann Whitney, com 5% de significância. Os resultados foram apresentados de forma a contemplar cinco conjuntos de dados: I) Caracterização das crianças com alta plumbemia; II) Dados anamnésicos; III) WISC-III; IV) IEP - Inventário de Estilos Parentais e V) Comparação entre o WISC-III com o IEP. A análise dos dados apontou redução da plumbemia nas crianças entre os anos de 2002 e 2005. Para as crianças com alta plumbemia os pais relataram maior número de queixa escolar, problemas de saúde, socialização e motor, embora sem significância estatística entre os grupos. Nos itens avaliados pelo WISC-III, o desempenho do Grupo I foi menor que o do Grupo 2. Na Escala de Execução o desempenho dos dois grupos foi menor que para a escala Verbal, com diferença estatística entre os grupos em: QIE (0,001) e QIOP (0,04)...

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the children's intellectual development with high and low blood lead level with the parenting styles in the respective interactions with these children. In order to accomplish this study were used - WISC-III; Anamnese's Script and IEP (Parenting Styles's Inventory), in which all of the 80 participants - 40 children, of both sexes, with ages among 7 to 13 years old, and 40 parents (father or mother), lived in the risk's area, next to the contamination place. The children were divided into two groups: G1-20 children with blood lead level above 10μg/dl; and G2 - 20 children with blood lead level lower than 10μg/dl. With the collected information, the statistical analysis was preceded with Mann Whitney's test, with 5%. The results were presented in way to contemplate five groups of data: I) the children's Characterization with plumbemia; II) Anamnese's Script Date; III) WISC-III; IV) IEP - Parenting Styles's Inventory I and V) Comparison between WISC-III IEP. The analyzed data's showed a reduction of the bllod lead level in children between 2002 and 2005. For the children blood lead level the parents related a larger number of school complaints, health problems, socialization and less motor development, although without statistical difference between the groups. In the items evaluated by WISC-III, the development of Group 1 was smaller than Group 2. In the Scale of Execution the development for both groups were lower than the Verbal Scale, with statistical difference between the groups in: QIE (0,001) and QIOP (0,04). In the Parenting Styles...

The purpose of the research is to examine the effects that Apartheid had/has on the shaping of leadership styles of South African political leaders from all political affiliations and different backgrounds. The research phenemenon and tentative hypothesis is that these leaders were influenced in vastly different ways according to their positions as either advantaged, disadvantaged or unaffected by the system of Apartheid. The study will examine how these different experiences under the system of Apartheid shaped current leadership styles. / The system of apartheid, caused different life experiences for South Africans, and can be seen as a defining moment in the development of South Africa, its leaders and citizens. This study investigated how these different life experiences under apartheid influenced leadership styles of South African political leaders. After completion of a literature review, semi structured life history interviews were conducted with a representative sample of members of the South African Parliament, to generate qualitative data for analysis. Content analysis was applied to this data to generate a basis from which valid and reliable conclusions and recommendations were made. The research found support in both the literature review and qualitative life stories data collected for the following propositions: • Leadership is a complex construct, which is composed of many different characteristics and influences. • The life histories of individuals comprise of a combination of unique life experiences and subjective interpretations of those experiences. • Individual life histories influence leadership development. • Apartheid was a time line event that encompassed many different life experiences of individuals within the broad phenomenon, which phenomenon does not necessarily in itself have a significantly 7 homogeneous effect on the shaping of leadership styles. What is a more significant shaper of leadership style is the leader’s experiences in and attitude towards the event or phenomenon. • Life experiences under the phenomenon of apartheid influenced the leadership styles of South African political leaders differently in accordance with their unique life experiences itself, and their subjective interpretations thereof. The recordal of the life stories of South African political leaders presents an opportunity to learn at a broader interface from the experiences of the past, to shape a collective future for a free and democratic South Africa.

The relationship between learning styles and achievement has been thoroughly studied by many researchers. However, the nursing assistant population is under represented in these studies. Hence, the purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between learning styles, demographics, and achievement of nursing assistant students in Illinois. The sample for the study consisted of 916 nursing assistant students' in Illinois. The VARK learning style inventory was used to measure the students' learning styles, and a demographic questionnaire was used to gather demographic data. The Illinois Nurse Aide Competency Test score was used to measure the achievement of students. The findings showed that there was a relationship between learning styles and achievement of nursing assistant students. Also, there was a relationship between demographics and learning styles. The dominant learning style was the multimodal all four (VARK) preference. Females were the highest representation in the sample and the majority of students were in age ranges 18-25.

The Millennial Generation is a young generation now required to effectively and efficiently navigate the cultural diversity that they encounter in various group settings throughout the United States. Research has examined conflict management styles and intercultural sensitivity, but few studies have investigated these two concepts specifically within the Millennial Generation. The purpose of this study is to fill the gap that exists in the current literature through an examination of the relationship between intercultural sensitivity and conflict management styles within the Millennial Generation in a hypothetical intercultural group setting. The results from 221 participants indicate that positive and negative relationships exist among the dimensions of intercultural sensitivity and conflict management styles, Millennials show a preference for conflict management styles that reflect a concern for self, and Millennials report high Interaction Confidence and low Respect for Cultural Difference. Limitations and directions for future research are also discussed.

Na sociedade contemporânea a utilização da tecnologia é cada vez mais incorporada no cotidiano dos indivíduos e atualmente os dispositivos móveis fazem parte do cotidiano dos estudantes. Seu uso demanda novas soluções que aproveitem suas potencialidades e potencial ubiquidade considerando, todavia as limitações que esta classe de dispositivos impõe. O presente estudo abrangeu uma investigação do uso de dispositivos móveis na área de ensino de Técnica de Programação, que é uma etapa básica e fundamental para a construção de sistemas computacionais. Este trabalho aborda a aplicação de dispositivos móveis na construção do conhecimento de algoritmos e programação, considerando os estilos preferenciais de aprendizagem dos estudantes. A pesquisa investiga como aprimorar o processo de construção de conhecimento em algoritmos, com vistas a reduzir os índices de reprovação que, ao longo dos anos, têm sido constatados nesta área. A estratégia educacional utilizada envolveu o uso do ciclo de aprendizagem de Kolb (1984), que trabalha com experiências concretas, reflexão e observação. A metodologia utilizada neste trabalho consistiu em investigar como a tecnologia móvel e os estilos preferenciais preferencial de aprendizagem dos alunos podem alavancar a melhoria neste processo de construção do conhecimento, por meio de um ambiente com objetos educacionais e que enseja interações junto do serviço de SMS. A investigação buscou também adequar as necessidades derivadas de diferentes estilos preferenciais de aprendizagem que os estudantes podem evidenciar, mas considerando as limitações e características dos dispositivos móveis. Como resultado são apresentadas sugestões para as instituições de ensino, relacionadas à utilização dos dispositivos móveis e considerando os estilos preferenciais de aprendizagem. / In the contemporary society, the use of technology has been more and more incorporated to the daily life of individuals and, currently, the mobile devices have made part of the students’ everyday routine. Their usage demands new solutions which take advantage of their potentialities and potential ubiquity regarding, though, the limitations that this class of devices impose. The current study encompassed an investigation of the use of mobile devices within the Technical Programming teaching area which is a basic and fundamental stage to the construction of computer systems. This work approaches the application of mobile devices in the knowledge construction of algorithms and programming, considering the students’ learning styles. The research investigates how to improve the process of knowledge construction on algorithms aiming at reducing the indices of failing that have been verified in this area through the years. The educational strategy utilized involved the use of the learning cycle of Kolb (1984), that works with concrete experiences, reflection and observation. The methodology used within this work consisted in investigating how the mobile technology and the attention to the students’ preferential learning style can boost the improvement within this teaching learning process through an environment with educational objects and that provides students with interactions by the SMS service. The investigation also aimed at making adequate the needs derived from different learning styles the students can evidence, but by considering the limitations and features of the mobile devices. As a result, suggestions – related to the usage of mobile devices and regarding the learning styles – are presented to the education institutions.

Parece estar havendo uma transformação de valores, na qual os pais ocupam o lugar dos filhos e vice-versa, o que pode causar um descontrole das ações familiares. Para entendimento dessas relações entre pais e filhos, ou seja, como os pais estão se comportando em relação aos filhos, estudos sobre os estilos parentais vêm sendo feitos nos últimos anos. Nesta perspectiva, propôs-se como objetivo principal da presente pesquisa identificar os estilos parentais característicos das famílias selecionadas para estudo, a partir da ótica dos adolescentes. Para tanto, trabalhou-se com 62 adolescentes com idade entre 12 e 17 anos, gênero masculino e feminino e suas respectivas famílias. Os instrumentos de pesquisa utilizados constaram de uma escala de exigência e responsividade [Teixeira, M.A.P., Bardagi, M.P. e Gomes, W.B. (2004)] que foi aplicada de forma coletiva nos adolescentes e ainda da análise de documentos constantes nos prontuários dessas famílias, a fim de caracterizá-las. Os resultados principais indicaram que as famílias são geralmente numerosas com estruturas diversas e os adolescentes perceberam seus pais como mais autoritativos do que negligentes. / Concerning the social programs for adolescents in situation of high social vulnerability in the Assis city, specifically under parent’s orientation, several matters involving family relationship have come up as the result of the weakness of parental authority. A transformation of values seems to happen currently, in which parents occupy their children’s placement and vice-versa, what can cause a misleading on parent’s attitudes. For the agreement of the relationship between parents and children, that is, how the parents are behaving towards their children, new researches on parental styles have been achieved recently. From this perspective and the adolescents´view, to identify the particular parental styles of the selected families for study is proposed since then, as the main goal of the current research. For this reason, 62 adolescents between 12 and 17 years old and their respective families, both male and female, were focused on. The research tools used on such study held a scale of demandingness and responsiveness [(TEIXEIRA, M.A.P., BARDAGI, M.P. E GOMES, W.B. (2004)] that was applied in a comprehensive way on adolescents and analysis of documents belonging to such families´ file in order to characterize them. The main results showed that the families are normally large with several structures and the adolescents noticed their parents more authoritative than negligent.

At present it is usual that there is an effort in primary schools to shift a part of the responsibilities off the teacher on the students. Didactic styles enable the teachers to put their students into new roles and so the students are forced to solve new situations under different conditions. This is how the teachers can react effectively in educating the students by leading them from passive perception to creativness. The work gives information about using teaching operative styles during teaching physical education in primary schools in Příbram district.
