Career Counseling with Academically Talented Students

Rowe, Kirk (Kirk Lee) 08 1900 (has links)
Academically talented college students have unique development needs that often go unmet. One area that is currently attracting more attention in the academically talented literature is career counseling. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of individual and group career counseling interventions. Subjects included 54 students from a special Texas program that provides the opportunity for gifted students to attend college during their final two years of high school. One instrument used assessed identity, confidence, career goals, and professional identity. The second instrument evaluated whether the subjects had recently discussed career concerns, were seeing a vocational counselor, or seeking career information. A pre-test was followed by group or individual intervention, and a post-test was conducted two months later. Results indicated an overall decrease on the instrument assessing professional identity and career goals. This study revealed no difference in effectiveness between group or individual interventions. Further research in this area is necessary to develop and refine the most effective career counseling interventions for the academically talented student.

Costa, Fernanda Menechino 27 November 2008 (has links)
Segundo o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA), a adolescência é situada entre 12 e 18 anos. O Brasil sendo um país onde existe grande desigualdade social, os jovens de classe baixa procuram o mercado de trabalho precocemente, para obter uma renda familiar maior e ajudar em casa. Considerando o defasado ensino brasileiro atual, e a falta de estruturas necessárias para a contratação de um fonoaudiólogo, tem-se como conseqüência o desenvolvimento de adolescentes com dificuldades de comunicação escrita não detectadas precocemente, assim, quando os jovens se deparam com o mercado de trabalho, em busca do seu primeiro emprego, encontram dificuldades relacionadas à sua comunicação. Este trabalho teve como objetivo geral, implantar uma Oficina de Aprimoramento da Comunicação Escrita, em adolescentes freqüentadores do Curso Primeiro Emprego oferecido pela Diocese de Bauru Divino Espírito Santo (Casa do Garoto Rogacionista) na cidade de Bauru-SP no ano letivo de 2008, devido a estes jovens apresentarem uma escrita defasada, que pode interferir direta ou indiretamente na seleção de uma vaga de emprego. As Oficinas foram realizadas no período de 8 semanas, e após a realização destas, podê-se encontrar dados estatisticamente significantes quando falamos em elaboração de texto. Após este trabalho também foi observado melhora quanto a coesão, uso de pontuação, bem como, sintaxe, e também a opinião positiva dos adolescentes em relação ao oferecimento das oficinas realizadas. / According to the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (ECA), adolescence is located between 12 and 18 years. Brazil is a country where there is great social inequality, low-class young people looking for the labor market early, to get a higher family income and help at home.

Quem não sabe ler nem escrever pede favor. Até quando? / Who does not know how to read and write bag for help. Until when?

Valino, Maria de Lurdes 09 May 2006 (has links)
Com base no pressuposto de que o ingresso na escola e um maior acesso ao mundo letrado são fatores transformadores da identidade, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar a modificação ocorrida em jovens e adultos analfabetos, quando em processo de alfabetização, no curso de Educação de Jovens e Adultos. O corpus é constituído pelos depoimentos de 15 alunos - com idade entre 16 e 58 anos - de uma turma de alfabetização de um curso noturno de uma escola da rede particular, no município de São Paulo. Os depoimentos foram obtidos por entrevistas realizadas em três diferentes momentos do ano letivo, quando se buscou compreender como o sujeito, historicamente, se constituiu analfabeto e como lidou internamente com a auto-imagem e a imagem social negativas: o significado de ser analfabeto; o desejo e a necessidade de ler e escrever; a expectativa de aprendizagem; o enfrentamento dos fatores facilitadores e dificultadores; a expectativa quanto ao curso de Educação de Jovens e Adultos; o ingresso na escola e o maior acesso ao mundo letrado; as perspectivas de mudança e as resistências ao processo. A partir da marcante percepção da \"falta\", evidente nos depoimentos, trabalhou-se, nesta dissertação, com a conceituação da díade analfabeto-analfabetismo, com o conceito de estigma que envolve o analfabeto e com o conceito de identidade como um processo em contínua mudança e a possibilidade de crescente transformação qualitativa. Com base nas referências teóricas fornecidas, principalmente, por Ciampa, Erikson e Goffman, entre outros, os resultados apontam para a evidência de que a transformação na identidade do jovem e do adulto alfabetizandos se realiza de acordo com a superação gradativa de dificuldades, o que, na prática, se traduz pela passagem do estado de analfabeto para o de alfabetizado. Essas transformações estão descritas em cinco momentos: 1) a percepção da falta; 2) a busca de correção de um defeito; 3) a assunção do papel de estudante; 4) a escrita do próprio nome e 5) a superação de limites, nem sempre previsíveis - em termos de enfrentamento das dificuldades relacionadas tanto à aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita quanto ao processo de se constituir como leitor e escritor num contexto altamente letrado. / Based on the idea that, beginning in a school and with a higher access to a literate world are factors to change one\'s identity, this research had focused on the investigation of what modifications would happen to teenagers and adults illiterate after a literate course on the Teenagers and Adults Education. The \"corpus\" is supported by 15 statements of students between the ages of 16 to 56 years old. Those who took part of an evening literate course in a private school in Sao Paulo city. It was obtained from interviews happened at 3 different parts of the year, when it was tried to understand how, historically, someone grew up as illiterate and how did he or she deal with his or her undertaken self image and social image: the meaning of being illiterate; the wiliness and the necessity to learn how to read and write; the easy and hard factors faced during the literate process; the expectation on the Teenagers and Adults Education course; the beginning on the school and the access to a literate world; the perspective of changes and the resistance to the literate process. As higher the perception of the lack was, shown on the statements, this work focused on the illiterate, and with the conception between literate and illiterate, and what is implied around the illiterate, and with conception of identity as a process in continuous changing and the possibility of keeping the development. Based on, mostly, Ciampa, Erikson and Goffman, between other references, the result of this work pointed to the evidence that the changes on teenagers and adults illiterate identity happens by every day winning of difficulties, which consists on the changing from illiterate to literate. This changes are described in five stages: 1) the perception of the lack; 2) the search for correction of something that was wrong; 3) the understanding that the student is a student; 4) the stage when he or she writes his or her own name; and 5) the edge passed throw that is not always predictable, which is the facing of the difficulties related to the learning of reading and writing as much as the process of building up as a reader and a writer in a higher literate context.

Abrindo-se para o mundo: adolescência, literatura e língua estrangeira / Adolescence, literature and foreign language: the opening to a vivid world

Moreira, Heloisa Caldeira Alves 18 October 2013 (has links)
Essa pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar as relações entre a literatura infanto-juvenil de expressão francesa e o ensino de Francês Língua Estrangeira para adolescentes. A partir da prática em sala de aula, como professora de língua francesa, e da percepção de que a língua apresentada nos manuais era uma língua exilada de sua função social e voltada sobretudo para a comunicação, buscamos identificar novas possibilidades de trabalho com o idioma numa perspectiva social e dialógica embasada nos trabalhos de Bakhtin (1999 [1930]) e de Vigotski (2008 [1930]. O fato de a nossa prática ser voltada para o público adolescente, levou-nos a perceber que o texto literário, por suas qualidades estéticas e sua polissemia, adaptou-se muito bem a nossos objetivos linguísticos e ao momento de introspecção e de ampliação da percepção do mundo externo vivenciada por essa faixa etária. Ao eleger o texto literário, pesquisamos e analisamos o que já existia de material para o trabalho de FLE com esse público. Além disso, apoiados nas pesquisas de Giasson (1990), Kato (1985) e Jouve (1992), refletimos sobre o leitor e suas estratégias de leitura, selecionamos textos, inclusive obras integrais, e propusemos percursos de compreensão desses universos linguísticos e culturais. Além disso, passamos a palavra ao aluno, por meio de questionários, e escutamos o que tinham a dizer sobre suas práticas de leitura e sobre o que experienciaram ao longo dos percursos propostos. Dessa forma, pudemos observar os resultados e pensar em novos desdobramentos. / This research aims to investigate, identify and discuss the relationship between childrens literature in the French language and the Teaching of French as a Foreign Language (L2) for the promotion of literacy acquisition for teenagers. Based on the teaching-learning practice and experiences in the classroom, as a teacher of the French language, and the perception that the language presented in textbooks language was exiled somehow, of its social approach and since literary texts do not achieve or feature much in French Language Teaching, FLT materials, but it is engaged mainly for communication instead; this research seeks to identify new opportunities to work with the language (L2) in a social more authentic, expressive, functional and dialogical trend based on the work of Bakhtin (1999 [1930]) and Vygotsky (2008 [1930]. As our teaching practice set here is focused on teenagers, it led us to realize that the literary text, due to its both, aesthetic qualities and polysemy, fits with our goals as well as language, with the moment of introspection and broadening the perception of the outside world which is experienced by age group mentioned. When electing the literary text, researched and analyzed existing material to work for this target public of FLE are meant for the understanding of the interrelated nature of the cognitive, social, linguistic literacy development of it. Moreover, drawing on research Giasson (1990), Kato (1985) and Jouve (1992), reflected on the reader and their strategies for reading selected texts, including whole works, original masterpieces and propose paths understanding of these linguistic and cultural universes. Through questionnaires, our students were given the voice so that we could hear and feel the stream of it and get to find out what our target public had to say about their reading practice and what they have experienced over the proposed guided reading, in order to reap the rewards of the teaching-learning process and think of new challenges and achievement.

Violência doméstica observada e vivenciada por crianças e adolescentes no ambiente familiar / Domestic violence observed and lived by children and teenagers in the family home

Sagim, Mírian Botelho 28 March 2008 (has links)
Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar como a criança e o adolescente, que vivem em ambientes em que a violência doméstica está presente se comportam, incluindo tanto na situação em que eles são vítimas da violência dos adultos, quanto naquelas em que a violência ocorre entre os pais, em especial contra a mãe, e eles estão na categoria de observadores. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma cidade de grande porte do interior do Estado de São Paulo, com famílias onde há a presença de violência doméstica contra a criança e o adolescente por parte de seus pais, e que foram sinalizados pelo Conselho Tutelar ou Ministério Público. E com famílias em que a violência se faz presente também entre os pais, a violência doméstica contra a mulher, e que pode ou não acontecer na frente dos filhos, e da qual já ocorreu registro de denúncia em Delegacia Especializada de Violência contra a Mulher (DDM). E, também, famílias que apresentavam episódios de violência física entre o casal e que foi informada e anotada nos prontuários da unidade do Centro de Referência Especializado da Assistência Social - CREAS, onde a pesquisa foi realizada. A amostra da pesquisa ficou composta da seguinte maneira; 17- famílias (mães) e 77- filhos, crianças e adolescentes com idade entre 6 anos e 16 anos completos. Como procedimentos metodológicos utilizou-se algumas técnicas de pesquisa e entrevista estruturada e entrevista semi-estruturada aplicada as mães, com as crianças e adolescentes, que seguiam a seguinte ordem: primeiro a entrevista estruturada, seguido pela entrevista semi-estruturada, pelos Jogos de Sentenças Incompletas e por último os Desenhos. A análise de dados foi realizada em dois formatos, análise qualitativa e quantitativa- interpretativa. A análise dos dados indicou alguns aspectos importantes com relação às mães que vivenciaram em sua infância a violência doméstica contra ela e contra sua mãe, e que era observada pelos filhos. Com relação às crianças, elas vivem em lares com a presença da violência doméstica, sabem e percebem que seus pais são violentos, mas têm apego muito grande aos pais e consideram suas famílias felizes. E, pode-se concluir que, as crianças e adolescentes presenciam a violência entre seus pais, observam e interferem na violência como também sofrem essa violência e, para eles, tudo o que é observado em casa determina o comportamento deles tanto em casa como na sociedade / The main objective of this research has been to analyse how children and teenagers who live at homes where there is domestic violence behave, including both the situation in which they are the victims of adult violence and the one in which violence occurs between their parents, especially against the mother, and in which they are mere observers.The research has been done in a big city in the State of São Paulo with three different kinds of families: - families in which the ConselhoTutelar and Ministério Público signalled domestic violence against children and teenagers by their parents.- families where there is violence between parents, especially against women, which can happen in front of the children or not, which have already been registered at the DDM - a police station specialized in helping women against domestic violence - families with stories of physical violence between the couple, informed and registered at CREAS - Specialized Center of Social Assistance, where the research has been done.The research has been based on the following sample: 17 families (mothers) and 77 children (children and teenagers with age between 6 and 16). As methodological procedures we have used some research techniques, structured and semi-structured interviews with the mothers, the children and the teenagers, and these interviews were in the following order: first the structured interview, followed by the semi-structured one, then by Incomplete Sentences Games and finally by the drawings. The analysis of the data has been done in two formats, qualitative analysis and quantitative-interpretative analysis, and it showed some important aspects concerning the mothers who, in their childhood, suffered domestic violence against themselves and agains their mothers, and werewatched by their children. As far as these children are concerned, they live in homes where there is domestic violence, are aware of the fact their parents are violent, but are so attached to them that they consider their families happy.We can conclude that these children and teenagers can see the violence between their parents, not only observe and interfere with this violence but also suffer it, and what they see at home determines their behavior both in the family and in society.
