ABSTRACT: The present study is based upon the Phenomenological Methodology, with field and bibliographic research. It presents as a main objective the analysis on how the teaching and learning educational process develop upon the reading skills, as well as the encouragement and practice of reading in students of young ages in private schools in Belém, state of Pará (Brazil), in fourth grade groups, in elementary school. Having set specific goals, the search is centered in the practical reading ability matter, and if such ability is of linguistic code development solely learned or the search of not only the decoding process, without taking in consideration the broadening aspects, such as text comprehension, targeting the active reader especially when it comes to the author's ideas. Such discussion regarding the reading learning process in elementary levels in private schools in Belém, state of Para (Brazil) is questioned by field research, teachers, students and the coordination, using as data collecting instruments, questionnaires with open and closed questions, interviews and focal groups. Along the study, regarding the formation of young readers, it requires some aspects, such as, the choice of good titles and in-class stimulating activities or even outdoor ones, so the students - especially the ones in the initial phase of learning- are and feel prepared and even conscious of the importance of the reading for their critical thinking- as a future citizen. Therefore, the factors that may interfere in the reading process, for instance, varied titles, stories that verse towards the cultural imaginary, texts directed to the young public, that awaken the interest of the student body, beyond the linguistic codes acquired in the texts, not obtaining the interpreting criteria that it might evoke. The reading is, by the society, a fundamental factor that might lead the human being to discovering new standards and social horizons, but only going further the typical mechanisms in presenting the texts in class, is when the teacher may reach the whole levels of comprehension of the written system, teaching how to read, with fundamental elements to the initial reading in elementary school.

Talent in first, second, and third graders: teachers’ perspectives vs. educational reality

The article addresses the subject of talent by emphasizing different conceptions about talent and by proposing an approach to this theme, from the point of view of talent in boys and girls. It also provides an analysis of research conducted with first, second, and third graders in public and private schools of the Costa Rican Education System. Using questionnaires and observations of the dynamics of the classroom as measurement tools, this study contrasts teachers` expectations about their students’ talent with the reality of the class environment, pointing out the existing abyss between teachers’ beliefs and their professional practices.

The link between the learning organisation and curriculum innovation:A comparative study of public and private primary schools in Greece

This article examines the relationship between the learning organisation and the implementation of curriculum innovation within schools. It also compares the extent of innovative activity undertaken by schools in the public and the private sectors. A learning organisation is characterised by long-term goals, participatory decision-making processes, collaboration with external stakeholders, effective mechanisms for the internal communication of knowledge and information, and the use of rewards for its members. These characteristics are expected to promote curriculum innovation, once a number of control factors have been taken into account. The article reports on a study carried out in 197 Greek public and private primary schools in the 1999-2000 school year. Structured interviews with school principals were used as a method of data collection. According to the statistical results, the most important determinants of the innovative activity of a school are the extent of its collaboration with other organisations (i.e. openness to society), and the implementation of development programmes for teachers and parents (i.e. communication of knowledge and information). Contrary to expectations, the existence of long-term goals, the extent of shared decision-making, and the use of teacher rewards had no impact on curriculum innovation. The study also suggests that the private sector, as such, has an additional positive effect on the implementation of curriculum innovation, once a number of human, financial, material, and management resources have been controlled for. The study concludes by making recommendations for future research that would shed more light on unexpected outcomes and would help explore the causal link between variables in the research model.
