Clima de Trabalho uma Proposta de Análise da Organização Escolar: revisão teórica

O presente artigo apresenta uma revisão bibliográfica a respeito do conceito de Clima de organizações educacionais. Serão abordadas as diferentes definições de clima escolar, as características, os tipos e as variáveis que o determinam. A importância dos estudos sobre clima escolar encontra-se no fato de que tal abordagem possibilita uma melhor compreensão do processo organizacional que se desenvolve nas escolas, permitindo maior clareza das ações que se processam e, conseqüentemente, aprimoramento da organização escolar e do ensino.

Heterogenidade em narrativas escolares: sentidos que se constroem nas diferenças e nos desvios

O presente trabalho propõe uma reflexão sobre a construção de sentido em narrativas escolares produzidas durante o SARESP - Sistema de Avaliação de Rendimento Escolar do Estado de São Paulo. A proposta é conseqüência da observação de que a prática da redação escolar nos sistemas de avaliação externa constitui uma atividade mecânica e resulta da prescrição de instruções, de forma que os textos produzidos apresentem relativa estabilidade composicional. Considera-se, na análise, 1) que a estabilidade textual decorrente das instruções de produção promove a padronização das redações; 2) que ao se desviar do tema proposto, o sujeito opera com a singularidade das experiências vividas; 3) que em meio à estabilidade promovida pelo Sistema de Avaliação, identificam-se nos textos dos alunos fontes enunciativas que se confrontam e evidenciam valores histórico-culturais, o que permite vislumbrar a condição do aluno como sujeito social e da linguagem como meio de interação. A discussão fundamenta-se nas reflexões de Mikhail Bakhtin sobre dialogismo e gêneros discursivos. Na análise dos textos, atenta-se também para o conceito de heterogeneidade enunciativa discutido por Authier-Revuz.

Análise de custo-efetividade de métodos preventivos para superfície oclusal de acordo com o risco de cárie: resultados de um ensaio clínico controlado

This study presents the results of a cost-effectiveness analysis in a controlled clinical trial on the effectiveness of a modified glass ionomer resin sealant ( Vitremer, 3M ESPE) and the application of fluoride varnish (Duraphat, Colgate) on occlusal surfaces of first permanent molars in children 6-8 years of age (N = 268), according to caries risk (high versus low). Children were examined semiannually by the same calibrated dentist for 24 months after allocation in six groups: high and low risk controls (oral health education every three months); high and low risk with varnish (oral health education every three months + varnish biannually); and high and low risk with sealant (oral health education every three months + a single application of sealant). Economic analysis showed that sealing permanent first molars of high-risk schoolchildren showed a C/E ratio of US$ 119.80 per saved occlusal surface and an incremental C/E ratio of US$ 108.36 per additional saved occlusal surface. The study concluded that sealing permanent first molars of high-risk schoolchildren was the most cost-effective intervention.

Caracterização do Perfil Cognitivo-Linguístico de Escolares com Dificuldades de Leitura e Escrita

Investigou-se o perfil cognitivo-linguístico de escolares com dificuldades na aquisição da linguagem escrita acrescentando-se testes específicos em um modelo de resposta à intervenção (identificação e intervenção precoces do risco para transtorno de leitura). Participaram 45 escolares do 2º ano, idade média de 7 anos de ambos os gêneros, divididos em grupo controle (sem dificuldades, n = 32) e grupo de risco (com dificuldades, n = 13). Escores mais de 1,65 DP abaixo da média do grupo controle para cada teste foram considerados déficits específicos. Enquanto a análise de grupo apontou os prejuízos fonológicos como único fator de risco, a individual acrescentou a inatenção e a nomeação rápida como fatores causais independentes. Um modelo ampliado de resposta à intervenção que inclui a avaliação cognitiva é proposto.

A violência da escola na voz de futuros professores: uma probabilidade da produção da cultura da violência em ambientes escolares?

The purpose of this research is to show the types of violence committed by teachers that were experienced and/or witnessed by future teachers during their schooling history. It's a quantitative and qualitative research. The collection, organization, and analysis of data proceeded from Content Analysis (BARDIN, 1977) and the construction of Bernard Charlot and Pierre Bourdieu's works and specific literature on the theme. The subjects are 12 students that attended the Pedagogy undergraduate program in 2011 at the Faculty of Science and Arts of the city of Araraquara in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The data shows that the majority of the group of individuals claimed to have witnessed or experienced violence by teachers during their basic training. According to them, among the most recurring types of violence are those of symbolic nature. They attended, not equally, the public system and the private system. This enabled pointing out that violence, especially symbolic violence, occurred in both school systems. Therefore, this is a phenomenon that affects different fractions of social classes. Considering that the participants of this research are future teachers, it was established a relation with the notion of 'cycle of abuse', since there is a high possibility of them practicing the teaching function.

Desempenho de escolares rurais em narrativas escritas e possíveis relações com variáveis de perfil

The goal of this research was to characterize written stories, produced by students, without complaint of language development (oral and written), from pictographic support. In a specific way, it has been searched, in those stories, elements that could grant coherence, applying that performance with the participants’ profile variables. It was characterized as a descriptive-exploratory study, held at a rural municipal school in the State of Parana. Twenty-one (21) students of both genders and ages between seven and nine years old have participated in this study. Data collection consisted of two narratives requests: one oral, after being released, to the child, four pictures placed in sequence to form a story, and one written. This writing production had been taken for the analysis. The results have indicated that most children (71.42%) managed to produce coherent stories, seventeen (80%) in story 1 and thirteen (61%) in story 2. As to the relation of that coherence with the students’ profile in story 1, there has been no statistically significant association, for none of the analyzed variables (gender, age and education), whereas there has been a statistically significant association with gender in story 2 (p-value 0.027). It is considered that the use of the pictographic support in developing stories have been confirmed as a facilitating strategy for its construction, for it has enabled the production of coherent narratives.

Manuais Didáticos e literatura infantil: as leituras infantis no Brasil e em Portugal

The school textbook is an important pedagogic resource in the classroom, and it is frequently the only one. But, an analysis of the Maternal Language’s textbooks in Brazil and in Portugal allowed us to detect serious didactic obstacles to the learning of the language in its semiotic omnifuncionality. In this paper we are going to present the results of a project that involves the presence of a children’s literature book in the classroom instead of the textbook adaptations. We developed activities before, during and after the reading in a fourth grade class of an Elementary School in Brazil and Portugal having the aim of build readers.

Transgressões de grafia em produções textuais de escolares do programa educacional de resistência às drogas e à violência (PROERD)

Presence of the orthographic mistakes on the writting of the students with or without learning difficulties still is a concern. The focus of these study is the classification of orthographic mistakes on the writting of the students who had participated of the Educational Program of Resistance to the Drugs and the Violence (Proerd). Sixty four grade children from a public school were individually analyzed in this study. The aim of this study was to verify the frequency and characterization of the orthographic mistakes on the texts production these students. We had as base for this analysis the studies of Zorzi (1998). The most frequent mistakes made by students were: irregular phonographemic relation (24%), letters omission (18%), similar letters (13%) and hypo-segmentation and hyper-segmentation (11,0%), amongst others. The characterization of the mistakes writing makes possible the planning of the interventions, as well as, the use of the prevention strategies.

Alunos com surdez e o processo de inclusão: uma análise de discursos sobre sobre Língua de Sinais

Análise da relação entre a habilidade de integração visuo-motora e o desempenho escolar

Visual-motor integration is a skill that involves visual perception and eye-hand coordination. Deficit in perceptual ability and motor organization capacity may reflect in reading, writing and arithmetic learning difficulties. This study aimed to verify the relationship between visual-motor integration ability and academic performance, as well, whether visual perception ability was correlated with reading performance and whether motor coordination ability was correlated with writing performance. Participants were 77 students in the 2nd. year of elementary education at a public school. To data collect were applied the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration and the Academic Performance Test. The results showed a significant correlation between visual-motor integration ability and academic skills of reading (r = 0.230, p = 0.044), writing (r = 0.244, p = 0.033) and arithmetic (r = 0.277, p = 0.015). In addition, was also identified significant correlation between visual perception and reading performance (r = 0.407, p = 0) and between the motor coordination and cursive writing (p = 0.039). The results of this study are consistent with the literature, concerning the verification of visual-motor integration, visual perception and motor coordination abilities influence on the students performance in school activities.
