Altas habilidades ou superdotação: um estudo em uma Diretoria de Ensino da rede estadual paulista

Special Education includes gifted students. There is a lack of resources and information for identification and care of such students. They were research objectives map students with giftedness characteristic in Elementary and Middle School in Bauru/SP, as well as verify what teachers know about the issue and if they know how to work with such students in their classrooms. This qualitative, quantitative and descriptive research was structured in three stages. Step A: an observation guide of gifted children, Guia de observação de crianças dotadas e talentosas. Step B: True or False questions on the subject. Step C, field diary. Two hundred and thirty one classes from 24 schools were evaluated and 477 students were identified with giftedness characteristic in at least one of six possible areas. Three hundred and one students were in Elementary School and 176 were in Middle School. In Step B, 280 teachers from 26 schools were part of this study and it is confirmed that they have theoretical knowledge on the subject because the number of hits on the main concepts (based on the literature) was superior to the number of misses. A 4th grade classroom, with a gifted girl, was observed in step C. It was found that the teacher pedagogical practice and the resources used are not different from the ones used with other students. Thus, it appears that the student has not received the curricular adaptations to assist her developing skills

A equoterapia como auxiliar no processo de inclusão do aluno com deficiência visual: estudo de caso

This study examines the hippotherapy related to school inclusion. Inclusive education, given the diversity of human kind, seeks to understand and meet the educational needs of all students. Visual impairment is defined as a reduction or complete loss of ability to see with the better eye and after the best possible optical correction, and may be perceived by the focus when the individual educational needs of Braille for their learning. Hippotherapy is a therapeutic and educational method that uses the horse in an interdisciplinary approach in health, education and riding, searching for the biopsychosocial development of people with disabilities and/or special needs. The general objectives were: to follow a Hippotherapy program applied to a student with visual disabilities included in regular education from the practice sessions of hippotherapy and the student's school routine, and specific: to verify changes to a student with visual impairment during their participation in an equine therapy program, to check the commitment, involvement and interest in school activities the student practicing hippotherapy inserted into the regular school system. The methodology was a qualitative research, in the form of case study. The instruments of data collection were interviews, video recordings, photographs, school information and the subject of systematic observations of the sessions of hippotherapy. Interviews were conducted at three different times during the course of the program. First we used a strategy for succeeding in increasing the involvement of practicing with the school. Later, another strategy was established, consisting of the effective presence of the researcher in the school to carry out activities on the hippotherapy within the school environment. The analysis of the first interview showed no changes in school interest, however, occurred in the family environment. In analyzing the results of the second interview was seen as a...

Caracterização molecular do gênero Cephalotes (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) e da presença e frequência do endossimbionte Wolbachia

As formigas do gênero Cephalotes, rapidamente identificadas por suas operárias polimórficas de cutícula resistente e cabeça achatada possuem seu sucesso ecológico creditado à sua dieta predominantemente generalista e nidificação em cavidades pré-existentes de troncos de árvores. Possuem hábitos exclusivamente arborícolas e ocorrem nos trópicos e subtrópicos do Novo Mundo possuindo ampla distribuição geográfica. O grupo apresenta uma interessante associação com microorganismos. No presente trabalho foi feita a caracterização molecular e estudo de relações filogenéticas do gênero através da amplificação e sequenciamento de fragmento do gene 28S do DNA Nuclear de três populações localizadas em Rio Claro-SP e São José do Rio Preto-SP de duas espécies de Cephalotes: C. pusillus e C. clypeatus. Também foi feito o levantamento da ocorrência e frequência do endossimbionte Wolbachia em sete populações de Cephalotes localizadas em São José do Rio Preto-SP, Guaraci-SP, São Carlos-SP, Araraquara-SP, Delfinópolis-MG e Rio Claro-SP; abrangendo três espécies: C. pusillus, C. clypeatus e C. atratus. Esse levantamento foi realizado com a utilização de ferramentas moleculares para a análise do gene codificador da proteína de superfície de membrana do endossimbionte, o wsp. Para analises de filogenia e também do endossimbionte, foi realizada a extração do DNA total de operárias, a amplificação do gene através da técnica de PCR utilizando os primers já estabelecidos e em seguida, as amostras foram sequenciadas pelo método de Sanger. Os resultados obtidos mostraram relações monofiléticas dentro da subfamília Myrmicinae, a qual pertence o gênero Cephalotes. As análises do gene 28S trouxeram resultados otimistas no estudo da caracterização molecular do grupo. Os resultados da analise do endossimbionte corroboraram com estudos anteriores com outras espécies do gênero Cephalotes, onde ocorreu alta...

As contribuições da Pedagogia Waldorf no atendimento a diversidade e na valorização das diferenças

The ideal of Waldorf Education, since the opening of the first school in 1919, was based on innovative principles for a humanized society. Among those principles, there was the attendance of all children without distinction, which is exactly the main idea of the inclusive school. Waldorf pedagogy defends that under the right pedagogical action and care with the individual development, anyone can develop, regardless of their disability. This statem ent highlights the main objective of this methodology, that is the human development, aligned to another fundamental guideline of inclusive education. Accordingly, the hypothesis of this work is that Waldorf education promotes inclusive schooling contexts, attending diversity and valuing differences. The general objective of this study is: analyze Waldorf Education to verify if it promotes inclusive contexts. And the specific objetives were: identify elements in this practice that favors diversity attend; analyze the practice of a Waldorf school, considering documentation, structure, and conception of managers, teachers and parents. The study was based on quantitative and qualitative research approach, and the data was collected trough observation of teaching practices in a classroom where a disabled student was present, as well as through documentation and observation of the school environment. Furthermore, in order to verify the understanding of parents (71 individuals) and teachers (18 individuals) on inclusion, a specific questionnaire was developed for each of these two groups. For the records, a diary and an observation script were used. It was concluded that Waldorf methodology provides all the necessary conditions to inclusion, mainly due to it's enhancement of individuality, didactic organization and it's roots in social relations
