Inteligência emocional: a compreensão das emoções em crianças do pré-escolar

A inteligência emocional (IE) tem sido geralmente estudada no contexto da compreensão do funcionamento do adulto (Hall, Geher, & Brackett, 2004). Como tal, muitos aspectos da IE têm sido raramente estudados em crianças (Lahaye et al., 2010). Este estudo procura estudar e medir em crianças do pré-escolar a compreensão emocional (CE), um construto complexo, considerado componente-chave da IE das crianças pequenas (Denham et al., 2003). Especificamente, o estudo analisa as relações do desenvolvimento cognitivo, temperamento, relação com os pares, género, idade, estatuto socioeconómico e número de irmãos com a CE. A amostra é constituída por 140 crianças entre os 4 e 6 anos, às quais foram administradas o Test of Emotion Comprehension (TEC, Pons, Harris, & de Rosnay, 2004), as Matrizes Progressivas Coloridas de Raven (MPCR, aferida por Simões, 2000), a Escala de Personalidade da Criança (EPC, Dibble & Cohen, 1974) e uma análise sociométrica (Peceguina, Santos, & Daniel, 2008). Os resultados indicam correlações entre a CE e o desenvolvimento cognitivo e o temperamento, não existindo uma sobreposição entre estes três construtos. A CE é um construto desenvolvimental que vai aumentando através da idade, e que influencia as relações da criança com os pares. Os resultados desten estudo fornecem pistas relevantes para intervenções que visem a promoção de competências socio-emocionais.

O golfe enquanto meio de compreensão e transformação do indivíduo

Cada vez mais, o fenómeno desportivo é suportado pelo conhecimento de um conjunto de disciplinas científicas que, quando devidamente articuladas sob um quadro de complexidade coerente, promovem um melhor entendimento acerca das mudanças que ocorrem no indivíduo. Neste sentido, através da realização do presente trabalho, procurámos perceber qual o enquadramento conferido ao golfe e se esse enquadramento é compatível com a ideia de o golfe servir de ferramenta para a compreensão e transformação do indivíduo. Para isso, através da literatura existente, procurámos conhecer quais as suas origens e evolução, de que forma está caracterizado (conceitos e opiniões dos diferentes agentes desportivos), qual a sua expressão (ao nível dos diferentes mercados) e que tipo de estudos e investigações existentes (focados no jogador) apoiam a sua evolução. De seguida, realizámos o enquadramento do golfe à luz da Taxonomia das Actividades Desportivas de Fernando Almada e analisámos o swing com base no Modelo Taxonómico dos Desportos Individuais. Como forma de testar a conjectura de que o golfe pode servir para a compreensão e transformação do indivíduo, realizámos uma situação experimental com um grupo de 14 jogadores (com handicaps compreendidos entre 5 e 32) de forma a perceber se existiam diferenças significativas no seu desempenho (p _ 0,05), quando expostos a diferentes condições (uma condição confortável e a uma condição de desconfortável). Os resultados globais (da amostra) não evidenciaram diferenças significativas, ao contrário de alguns dos resultados individuais, que por sua vez, permitiram estabelecer ligações com as diferentes variáveis funcionais inerentes à realização do swing,possibilitando-nos a formulação de um conjunto de hipóteses que poderão servir de orientação à compreensão de algumas das características mais marcantes do jogador.

A escolha dos líderes e a compreensão emocional na educação pré-escolar

O presente estudo insere-se no domínio da investigação sobre a liderança na educação pré-escolar, a compreensão emocional e que características estes líderes infantis possuem para que sejam encarados desta forma. No pré-escolar, a investigação sobre liderança é bastante escassa (Morda & Waniganayake, 2010, citados por Mawson, 2010). A liderança é um construto que se desenvolve a partir da infância, em crianças em idade pré-escolar e que é influenciado através das relações que cada criança tem com os pares. Através deste estudo, pretendemos estudar a liderança em crianças da educação pré-escolar. Realizámos dois estudos, sendo o primeiro sobre a perceção das crianças das características da liderança infanti,l onde obtivemos uma visão do líder diferenciada pelo género e o segundo estudo sobre quais as variáveis que caracterizam a liderança em crianças do pré-escolar, ou seja, pretendíamos saber o que as crianças valorizam nos pares. Participaram nestes estudos crianças da educação pré-escolar, com idades compreendidas entre os 3 e os 6 anos, provenientes quer do meio rural, quer do meio urbano. Com estas crianças, foram realizados três testes: a Classificação Dirigida (Roazzi, Federicci e Wilson, 2001), um Teste Sociométrico e o Test of Emotion Comprehension (TEC) (Pons, Harris, & de Rosnay, 2004), na sua versão portuguesa Teste de Compreensão das Emoções (Roazzi, Dias, Minervino, Roazzi e Pons, 2008). Para além destes três, os encarregados de educação das crianças participantes preencheram um Questionário Sociodemográfico. Descobrimos que existem diferenças na forma de pensar e de escolher o líder, consoante o género da criança, que o facto de as crianças terem irmãos ou não influencia na escolha para líder, que a regulação emocional é importante na escolha para líder e existem correlações importantes entre a preferência social, o impacto social, o estatuto social, as notas T da escolha, rejeição e chefe.

A gestão de conflitos e a compreensão emocional em crianças do pré-escolar

É na primeira infância que as crianças aprendem a rotular as emoções, mas só muito mais tarde aprendem a distinguir as manifestações emocionais comportamentais. Se por um lado, umas ainda não conseguem controlar os seus impulsos quando estão a tentar resolver os conflitos entre pares, outras dependem exclusivamente do adulto para tudo o que fazem, há outras, que são tímidas por natureza e não interagem com os colegas (Katz & McClellan, 2001). O estudo foi operacionalizado numa instituição particular na Ilha da Madeira, foi realizada uma amostragem por conveniência, constituída por 27 crianças do jardim-deinfância, com idades compreendidas entre os 3 e os 5 anos. A recolha de dados foi feita através de um questionário de dados sociodemográficos, entrevista semiestruturada e de um teste de avaliação psicológica (TEC - Test of Emotion Comprehension). Os resultados indicam que as crianças apresentam dificuldades em identificar situações de conflito e no que concerne à capacidade de compreensão das emoções, a maioria das crianças que participaram no estudo apresentaram resultados positivos na compreensão emocional, nomeadamente no reconhecimento das emoções e na compreensão das causas externas das emoções.

A compreensão do corpo na formação profissional do fisioterapeuta

Physical therapy has suffered of a mechanistic influence, with the superspecialization and fragmentation of learning, which interfers directly in the professional s understanding of the body, besides affecting his therapeutic performance. Worried about this reality, this research analyzed perceptions of Physical therapy students from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte and Universidade Potiguar about the human body. This is a descriptive study where 167 students were evaluated through objective and subjective responses to questionnaires designited QUEB Questionnare of understanding body evaluation. Searching the complement of the datas the QUEB open-ended was created, which gives freedom to students to answer freely. This questionnnaire was applicated on a subgroup composed by 21 students of the Health Sociology subject of the Physical therapy course. The validation process of these questionnaires included strategies of a panel of experts and face validity. The theorical reference analyzed based on the studies which favor the rejoining of knowledge represented by transdisciplinary support. The analysis of the results were performed quantitativavely and qualitatively through categorization of the responses selectioning key-words and the most expressive discourses , besides using descritive statistics interpretation. According to the responses, the body thought only thought biologically, ignoring the understanding of man as a cultural and social construction, confirming the presence of the reductionist model, with overvalorization of early specialization, technical training and purely biological and mechanical considerations of the body and its mobility. Probably, the dialogic knowledge of the body human inside Physical Therapist s learning can promote a growth of health s concept and a true activeness of Physical therapy on it, being the body a link with social environment. So, through understanding of the body as a complex form, the physical therapy will be able to attend your patients considerating their biological characteristics, but so the religious, political, social and ethics. Finally, this reflection suggests a search for a less technical vision, which allows the professional to discern more than segments of the body and which will contribute to a wider understanding of the patient and his social context, leading to greater humanization of the body , improvement in services and consequently, in the quality of life of these patients

O outro diálogo: uma compreensão do diálogo interno

This thesis aims to enable a wider comprehension on thought operation as well as suggest alternatives for the formation of reflexive, critical, autonomous and creative individuals. The research defends the idea that it is possible for an individual to develop vigilant attention that makes thought flexibilization and change in the course of action, possible. This operation is called Internal Dialogue and is essentially characterized by a continuous openness towards novelty and learning. This makes it possible to minimize the usual way thought operates, in a automatic fashion (automatism). The research was based on theoretical references and ideas of David Bohm (1989;1994;2005) and Michael Polanyi (1983). The main emphasis was the understanding that a crisis situation enables awareness and state of alert that favors a more flexible thought pattern (Aragão Gomes, 1994, 1997). The methodology used was presentation and analysis of these moments through autobibliographical records with indication of crisis on behalf of the subjects. Other criteria were also used that enabled the composition of the analyzed material such as the fact that: the subjects were public and real, the data was available through accessible material; the subjects identified themselves as in crisis; these crisis were of varied kinds; they had different social, cultural and professional profiles. Thus, three auto-bibliographical elements were selected: the Infidel: the story of a woman that challenged Islam (2007), written by the political Muslim author Ayaan Hirsi; Still me: memories (2001), of the actor Christopher Reeve as well as Confessions of a Philosopher (2001), by the philosopher Bryan Magee. In these books an analysis was made related to parts that stated action an though operation that express internal dialogue. These were organized into categories that were pointed out as relevant for the identification of internal dialogue such as: Perceptions of physical reaction; emotions, beliefs and issues, individual actions, self judgment and thought, self questioning, comprehension, observation and empirical investigation, perception of the changes they performed in the world, escape of conditioning as well as action that resulted in new meaning. The analysis performed reinforces our goal once it sated that internal dialogue is an important tool that allows thought awareness, minimizing common automatism and making consciousness possible as well as favoring the occurrence of critical and reflexive thought. Thus, final considerations deal with the need for the development of teaching methodologies that address internal dialogue as a counterpoint to the many daily action that reinforce the automatism of thought

Relações entre teorias da história e ensino de história: a compreensão de professores

This thesis has as an objective to think over the teachers` understanding of the school History of the Fundamental Teaching regarding the existent relations between the history theories and the teaching of the school History, as well as to think over how these teachers see the influence that their teaching practice gets from the history theories. The work is based on the postulates of the qualitative research and on the characteristics of the ethnography of the school practice. The main procedures of data gathering were the documental analysis, the semi-structured interviews, the field diary and the observations of classes. The scientific perspective of the multiple references is an important source in this research. The participants of this work are two teachers of the school district of Natal who work in the field of the school History in two schools on the North Side of the city. The accomplished analysis point to significant indications that didn't occur continuous and regular teaching situations in the initial and continuing education of these teachers that clearly showed the relations between the history theories and the teaching of the school History. They also suggest that their understanding about the influence that their teaching practice gets from the history theories, is not still explicit. We understand that the relations between the history theories and the teaching of the school History are important for the initial and continuing education of these teachers who belong in this knowledge field, even when these relations are not explicitly pointed by the teachers, because they will always influence the teaching practice that the teachers of the school History build

A televisão refletida na escola: a compreensão de mães/educadoras

This work aims to examine the television social representation by mothers/educators as a TV viewers, to understand the meaning of this media in their quotidian and which relations occur between teachers and students in the classroom. The study purpose is the educational television rule, based on a social representation approach. It look for to reveal, through the discourses of five educators who are engaged in pedagogic activities in the Public Elementary School of the Natal city, a significant experience in the media education field progress. It’s also a way to understand which representations the educators have about the television can contribute to aid the idea and critic analysis about the media meaning in the teacher’s formation. Some questions were in the basis of the investigation as: What is the television for the educators who are also TV viewers? How it reaches the classroom? Their relation with the media interfere in the pedagogic practice? Assuming that the verbal technical is one of the formal ways to access the representations, the methodological strategy employed was the open interview, guided by a wide and flexible schedule, leaving the interviewees free to expose their ideas, a attitude adopted to avoid the imposition of interviwer’s points of view, that result in a rich material. Through this strategy it was possible to confirm or to reject presumptions raised in the beginning of the investigation and modify some planning direction lines. The study has as the theory presupposition the contribution of the Mexican researcher Guillermo Orozco Gómez, who, based on the Paulo Freire e Jesús Martín-Barbero ideas, establishes a dialogue between popular Education and the communication theories, mainly the television reception, when he develops an integral view focused on the audience or on the multiple mediations model. The school – and the family, as well – is an important mediator of the media information. The relationship which the teachers establish between the television and their representations about it in their lives reflects effectively and directly on their professional practice and on the media dialogue within the school, it can contribute to the critic reflection which students establish with the media trough the educators mediation

Reconceitualização das categorias de skemp de compreensão relacional e compreensão instrumental como critérios globais

The thesis presents a systematic description about the meaning, as Skemp, relational understanding and understanding instrumental, in the context of mathematics learning, being that we had as a guide his understanding of the schema. Especially, we analyze some academic productions, in the area of Mathematics Education, who used the categories of understanding relational and instrumental understanding how evaluative instrument and we see that in most cases the analysis is punctual. Being so, whereas the inherent understanding relational schema has a network of connected ideas and non-insulated, we investigated if the global analysis, where it is the understanding of the diversity of contributory concepts for formation of the concept to be learned, is more appropriate than the punctual, where does the understanding of concepts so isolated. For this, we apply a teaching module, having as main content the Quaternos Pythagoreans using History of Mathematics and the work of Bahier (1916). With the data we obtained the teaching module to use the global analysis and the punctual analysis, using research methodology the Case Study, and consequently we conduct our inferences about the levels of understanding of the subject which has made it possible for us to investigate the ownership of global analysis at the expense of punctual analysis. On the opportunity, we prove the thesis that we espouse in the course of the study and, in addition, we highlight as a contribution of our research evidence of need for a teaching of mathematics that entices the relational understanding and that evaluation should be global, being necessary to consider the notion of schema and therefore know the schematic diagram of the concept that will be evaluated

Compreensão de natureza e formação do biólogo

Most knowledge and techniques developed by mankind since ancient times had the main purpose to study and understand the various phenomena of Nature. Science, like one of these narratives, works as a translation, transcribing what, is systematically observed. Within the set of transformations on the modern sciences, the dialogue with related areas became quite narrow and, occasionally, functional, and the dialogue with non-related areas, in turn, does not takes place by any matters. The focus of this research is the teaching of Biological Sciences, and the undergraduate courses as strategic places to disseminate a broad understanding of Nature, that broadens the conceptual relations between different disciplinary axes, previously fragmented. In order to do so, I take a four-way metaphorical approach as a methodological construction base. Three of them proposed by Joël de Rosnay, represented by artifacts: The Telescope, The Microscope and the Macroscope. And finally, a proposition that complements the approach, that i named The Naked Eye. In Telescope, which allows a more general construct of a phenomenon, I discuss the teaching of Biological Sciences in Brazil. In the microscope, which allows us to analyze in detail a scenario, I construct a rank of the major courses in biological sciences and propose a discussion on the understanding of nature on the undergraduate programs. In Macroscope, who allows, at the same time, zoom in and out to the phenomenon observed, I call for a transdisciplinary dialogue, based on the authors Ilya Prigogine, Basarab Nicolescu, Henri Atlan and Bruno Latour, which can certainly contribute to the curriculum of the Biologists training programs, that builds knowledge pertinent to a complex observation of Nature. I complete the set of the quaternary reading and understanding of the world from the Naked Eye, as the first strategy of perception in our species. For this, I invite the philosopher of Nature Chico Lucas da Silva as my interlocutor

Abordagens pedagógicas na formação de enfermeiros : compreensão de docentes de enfermagem

In the new world order is notorious changes in social, ethical, economical and political aspects in the society, which reach incisively higher education, requiring a number of modifications and a new vision in nursing education, in order to meet the demands of the Unique Health System. Thus, the Higher Education Institutes (HEI) and teachers are invited to face new challenges and reflect on their practices, using pedagogical approaches and innovative methodologies to meet the requirements of a globalized society. This study has as an objective to analyze the perspective of teachers in what concern the pedagogical approaches used in nursing education and to identify pedagogical approaches utilized by teachers in nursing education. This is a field research of exploratory kind, descriptive, of quantitative approach. The search was conducted at the Department of Nursing of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte UFRN, based in the city of Natal. The population consisted of forty-six teachers. From this population was selected a sample of twenty teachers. Data collection occurred from August to September 2011, through the utilization of the technique of interview and questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed in two moments. In the first moment, was carried out the quantitative analysis that refers to the obtained data through the interview technique, methodological procedures were submitted to the content analysis proposed by Bardin. On the second moment, concerning the quantitative analysis of the questionnaires applied to the teachers and of the identification data, which were digitized and transferred to a spreadsheet electronic of Microsoft Excel XP, tabulated and organized into tables, containing their relative and absolute frequencies. It is worth mentioning that were respected the aspects of the CNS Resolution 196/96. With regard to the characteristics of research participants, 20% were male; with a degree of titration of 55% doctorates; regarding time of service there was a greater representation from 15 to 45 years, with 45%. The results showed that 90% of teachers who participated in the research have an appropriate understanding of non-critical pedagogical approaches, only 10% had an inadequate understanding. However, 70% of teachers, despite having an adequate understanding, reported difficulties when attempting to implement these pedagogies. Most teachers, with representability of 80% consider the non-critical pedagogies relevant in nursing education, as well as critical pedagogies, being represented by 95% of teachers. It was concluded that both critical and non-critical pedagogies are in teachers practice of undergraduate nursing education. It feels like a moment of transition, since the presence of new ways of teaching as a part of this educational context, with educational models that give value to scientific, ethical and personal aspects in the educational process. The research contains limitations, however highlights the contribution of new possibilities for action, reflection on the context of performance, maximizing the pedagogical skills necessary to conduct teaching process, in line with the new educational paradigm of higher education
