Purpose: This study evaluated the impact of socioeconomic factors on children's performance on tests of working memory and vocabulary.Method: Twenty Brazilian children, aged 6 and 7 years, from low-income families, completed tests of working memory ( verbal short-term memory and verbal complex span) and vocabulary ( expressive and receptive). A further group of Brazilian children from families of higher socioeconomic status matched for age, gender, and nonverbal ability also participated in the study.Results: Children from the low socioeconomic group obtained significantly lower scores on measures of expressive and receptive vocabulary than their higher income peers but no significant group differences were found on the working memory measures.Conclusion: Measures of working memory provide assessments of cognitive abilities that appear to be impervious to substantial differences in socioeconomic background. As these measures are highly sensitive to language ability and learning in general, they appear to provide useful methods for diagnosing specific learning difficulties that are independent of environmental opportunity.

BACKGROUND: Specific reading disability is caused by disruptions in the language abilities. AIM: To characterize the neurological, cognitive and phonological performances of scholars with specific reading disabilities pre and post a remediation program. METHOD: Group I consisted of ten scholars with specific reading disability who did not undergo the remediation program. Group II consisted of ten scholars with specific reading disabilities who took part in the proposed program. Neurological, psychological and phonological evaluations were made, as well as a test of scholastic performance and of reading and writing before and after the program. RESULTS: The scholars who underwent the remediation program demonstrated improvements in their neurological and cognitive performances and also in the processing of phonological information. CONCLUSION: Favoring of the emergence of phonological and syntactic awareness after the remediation program.

Background: familial dyslexia. Aim: to characterize and compare the phonological awareness, working memory, reading and writing abilities of individuals whose family members are also affected. Method: in this study 10 familial nuclei of natural family relationship of individuals with dyslexia were analyzed. Families of natural individuals living in the west region of the state of São Paulo were selected. Inclusion criteria were: to be a native speaker of the Brazilian Portuguese language, to have 8 years of age or more, to present positive familial history for learning disabilities, That is, to present at least one relative with difficulties in learning. Exclusion criteria were: to present any neurological disorder genetically caused or not, in any of the family members, such as dystonia, extra pyramidal diseases, mental disorder, epilepsy, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHA); psychiatric symptoms or conditions; or any other pertinent conditions that could cause errors in the diagnosis. As for the diagnosis of developmental dyslexia, information about the familial history of the adolescents and children was gathered with the parents, so that a detailed pedigree could be delineated. Neurological, psychological, speech-language, and school performance evaluations were made with the individuals and their families. Results: the results of this study suggest that the dyslexic individuals and their respective relatives, also with dyslexia, presented lower performances than the control group in terms of rapid automatic naming, reading, writing and phonological awareness. Conclusion: deficits in phonological awareness, working memory, reading and writing seem to have genetic susceptibility that possibly determine, when in interaction with the environment, the manifestation of dyslexia.

Este estudo, realizado com professores engenheiros e alunos do curso Técnico em Mecânica do CEFET – Pará traz em seu bojo uma discussão muito extensa em relação à aprendizagem e à aplicação da Matemática, no curso profissionalizante. Inicio meus estudos a partir de quatro problemáticas muito presentes no processo de ensino e aprendizagem voltadas para as relações dos alunos com a educação matemática e suas aplicações práticas, no curso de Mecânica. Assim meus objetivos principais são: analisar os procedimentos didáticos na relação do processo de construção da prática pedagógica de professores de Matemática e professores engenheiros que lecionam no curso de Mecânica do CEFET-PA e compreender algumas barreiras que existem entre teoria e prática, no ensino da Matemática. Objetivo também estudar um pouco dos saberes docentes dos professores engenheiros e a relação que eles estabelecem entre saberes didáticos e saberes técnicos profissionais específicos. Os dados apontam queixas dos alunos sobre as aulas de Matemática nas duas formas de ensino, o que tem originado um sistema de obstáculos e erros no processo de ensino-aprendizagem desta disciplina, tanto no ensino fundamental, quanto no médio profissionalizante. Três foram os objetos de análise: os caminhos e percalços vividos pelos alunos, o que deu subsídios para compreensão da atuação didática dos docentes do curso de Mecânica e a relação entre o saber pedagógico, o saber de formação profissional e a prática docente dos professores engenheiros. É perceptível nas análises que, durante sua formação acadêmica, o engenheiro desenvolve aprendizagens específicas na sua natureza profissional e, após o ingresso na docência, ele tende a manter esta aprendizagem, só que agora de uma forma mais especifica e objetiva. Parece que a questão da identidade docente não é objeto central para os professores engenheiros; no entanto, ao final entende-se que a prática docente deveria ser tratada com mais atenção por estes professores. Encerro este trabalho investigando como os professores técnicos concebem a formação continuada em educação, sugerindo um relacionamento mais amplo desses, com a didática da Matemática, a partir de uma preocupação maior em torno de uma reflexão ativa na busca de formação continuada em educação Matemática. Desta forma, haverá uma ampla conciliação de saberes de conteúdo, didáticos e estratégicos.

Este trabalho enfoca a problemática da inclusão educacional de alunos com deficiência no ensino regular brasileiro. A partir da revisão sistemática da literatura sobre o tema foi possível apresentar dois estudos. O primeiro tem natureza descritiva, objetivou revisar artigos sobre inclusão de alunos com deficiência no ensino regular brasileiro, a fim de investigar o panorama da pesquisa nessa área. Foi utilizada a revisão sistemática na biblioteca virtual da SciELO, na qual foram selecionados 138 artigos para investigação. Os resultados desse primeiro estudo apontaram que as pesquisas sobre inclusão educacional avançaram a partir do ano de 2005, principalmente nas regiões sudeste e sul, com prevalência de pesquisas empíricas em diversas áreas do conhecimento e com destaque para a educação. O segundo estudo analisou artigos científicos, que tratam da inclusão de alunos com deficiência no ensino regular de acordo com a concepção teórico-metodológica da teoria bioecológica do desenvolvimento humano. A partir da revisão sistemática da literatura e a avalição do instrumento CASP se selecionou 16 artigos que foram analisados a partir do modelo bioecológico PPCT. Observou-se que a partir dos dados apresentados o uso da teoria bioecológica foi útil para investigar pesquisas e sistematizar a organização de trabalhos.

Data presented here is the result of an extension project developed by UNESP which aims to support children who complain about learning disabilities. These students with reading and writing problems were part on intervention sessions, individually and/or in small groups, in which different games and non-usual activities were implemented. These intervention sessions seek an improvement in the non-learning situation and, above all, a change in the relationship that the children have established with these school subjects. So far, the main results indicate a development in the mentioned areas and a significant improvement in the entire student learning condition, which were verified during the intervention sessions and by the teachers’ and parents’ reports, as well. We also present here reflections on the process of assessment and intervention and about the way these subjects are dealt at school, and the meaning of not learning how to read and how to write for a child.

PURPOSE: The development and application of collective pedagogical activities to assess phonological skills in pre-readers and beginning readers and could serve as potential screening tools to help in the early identification of students at risk for dyslexia. METHODS: The FAE tasks (alternative tools for educators) were built on classical phonological tasks known as sound categorization and in the Protocol for Cognitive-Linguistic Skills. FAE tasks basically consisted of matching pictures as well as pictures to spoken words according to their phonological similarity in the onset (alliteration) or rhyme and were given to 45 students on the first grade, of both genres and 7.3 years old on average. RESULTS: The protocol proved to be effective, confirming that phonological awareness, verbal working memory and rapid naming abilities constitute the main risk factors for dyslexia, and to which the FAE tasks were more strongly correlated jointly with the phonemic discrimination. FAE tasks were also strongly correlated with literacy skills. CONCLUSIONS: Students at risk for dyslexia can be efficiently identified through scientifically developed pedagogical tools, adapted and tested for the Brazilian's educational reality. This is a promising research field with the potential to help in avoiding the currently excessive number of students mistakenly labeled as having learning disabilities and improperly referred to specialized public services, as well as to indicate the more appropriate theoretical-empirical framework to guide our educational policies.
