- Atitudes de alunos dos 5.º e 6.º anos de escolaridade face à integração escolar de alunos com Trissomia 21Publication . Morgado, José António Marques; Silva, José Maria CastroEste trabalho teve como objectivo estudar as atitudes de alunos do 2.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico (10-12 anos de idade) face à integração escolar de alunos com Trissomia 21, considerando como variável principal a existência (ou não) de contacto com esses alunos. Foram entrevistados dois grupos de trinta alunos. O primeiro grupo frequentava uma turma de ensino regular com uma criança com Trissomia 21 (Grupo de Contacto Próximo) e o segundo grupo frequentava escolas onde não existiam crianças com Trissomia 21 ou qualquer outra deficiência integrada (Grupo de Contacto Nulo). Os dados recolhidos através de entrevistas foram sujeitos a análise de conteúdo sendo posteriormente objecto de análise estatística de tipo descritivo e inferencial (teste não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney, considerando o nível de significância a=0.05). Os resultados mostraram que os alunos com contacto próximo manifestam atitudes mais positivas relativamente à integração escolar de crianças com Síndrome de Down do que os alunos com contacto nulo. Podemos, no entanto, concluir que ambos os grupos revelaram, na generalidade, atitudes positivas face à possível integração de crianças com a Síndrome de Down no meio escolar. ------ RESUMÈ ------ L’article a pour but d’étudier les attitudes d’élèves du 2ème Cycle de l’Ensei-gnement Basique (10-12 annés d’âge) par rapport à l’intégration scolaire d’élèves atteints de Trisomie 21, en considérant comme variable principale l’existence (ou non) de contact avec ces élèves. Deux groupes de trente élèves ont été interrogés le premier groupe fréquentait un établissement scolaire régulier intégrant un enfant atteint de Trisomie 21 (Groupe de Contact Proche) et le second groupe fréquentait des écoles dans lesquelles il n’y avait pas d’intégration d’enfants trisomiques (Groupe de Contact Nul). Les données rassemblées à travers les entrevues ont été soumises à une analyse de contenu, puis dans un deuxième temps à une analyse statistique descriptive. Les résultats ont montré que les élèves qui fréquentent un établissement scolaire qui accueille un enfant atteint de Trisomie 21 manifestent des attitudes plus positives à l’égard de l’intégration scolaire d’enfants avec Syndrome de Down que ceux qui ne côtoient pas d’enfants atteint de Trisomie 21 dans leur établissement. Par ailleurs, l’étude a permis de montrer que l’ensemble des enfants interrogés ont manifesté, en géneral, une attitude positive à l’égard d’une éventuelle intégration d’enfants trisomiques.
- Attitudes towards mathematics: Effects of individual, motivational, and social support factorsPublication . Mata, Maria de Lourdes Estorninho Neves; Monteiro, Vera; Peixoto, FranciscoThis paper aims to understand how certain different but interrelated variables such as background, motivation, and social support could lead to an explanation of student attitudes towards math and to an understanding of the defining characteristics of these attitudes in the school environment. Participants consisted of 1719 Portuguese students, from fifth-to-twelfth grade. The study utilizes an adaptation of the “Intrinsic Motivation Inventory” assessing main determinants of intrinsic motivation. One section of the questionnaire—“InmyMath Class”—also assesses student perceptions of teacher and peer support as well as student attitudes. The results revealed that, in general, students held positive attitudes towards mathematics and also highlighted the main effects of grade and math achievement on these attitudes. No gender effect was identified although the girls showed a continuous decline in attitudes the further they progressed in school. A hierarchical analysis using structural equation modeling showed that motivationrelated variables are the main predictors of attitudes towards mathematics and that teachers and the social support of peers are also highly significant in understanding these attitudes.
- Avaliação diagnóstica em contextos migrantes : medidas e formatos de instrumentos nas escolas portuguesasPublication . Figueiredo, Sandra; Martins, Margarida Alves; Silva, Carlos FernandesA investigação na área de língua segunda determinou a necessidade de procedimentos de medição sobre a proficiência e competência. Na primeira fase deste projeto científico, pretende-se aplicar e validar provas selecionadas do corpus de testes internacionais, em alunos locutores de Português Língua não Materna do 1.º, 2.º e 3.º Ciclos, de Lisboa e Aveiro. As provas adaptadas apresentam uma proposta alternativa e complementar aos dispositivos do Ministério da Educação, focando na emergência de instrumentos validados. Algumas provas serão discutidas no sentido da complexidade e singularidade da estrutura de diagnóstico em contexto de avaliação de alunos com experiência migratória.
- Can differences in the ability to recognize words cease to have an effect under certain reading conditions?Publication . Sánchez-Miguel, Emilio; García Pérez, José Ricardo; Gonzalez, António José C. A.In this study, we aimed to ascertain whether it is possible to create reading contexts that eliminate the impact of word recognition on reading comprehension and permit pupils with reading disabilities (RD) to attain a level of comprehension similar to that of their peers without RD. Specifically, the study compared a traditional reading situation with one of reading with aids (joint reading). In both situations, pupils’ comprehension level was assessed by means of a summary and a series of inferential questions, and we controlled the effect on comprehension of word recognition, previous knowledge, rhetorical competence, and working memory. The results showed that the aids provided during reading do not eliminate the effect of word recognition, but they do permit readers with RD to attain a comprehension level similar to that of their peers.
- Competencia retórica. Una propuesta para interpretar las dificultades de comprensiónPublication . Sánchez-Miguel, Emilio; Gonzalez, António José C. A.; García Pérez, José RicardoEste trabajo mide el impacto de la Competencia Retórica –la capacidad para operar con los mecanismos que proporcionan coherencia al texto- en la comprensión lectora. Concretamente, se considera la habilidad para operar con dos mecanismos textuales diferentes: las conectivas lógicas y los dispositivos anafóricos. Con ello se ofrece una interpretación comunicativa amplia de las dificultades de comprensión que experimentan muchos lectores: la dificultad para interpretar las intenciones e ideas de un emisor apoyándose en las señales que su mensaje encierra, señales que se hacen más complejas en el tránsito de lo oral a lo escrito, siendo pues aquí donde la competencia retórica cobra un papel mayor. Los resultados confirman la importancia de la competencia retórica en el proceso de comprensión y su peso específico frente a otras variables: conocimientos previos, reconocimiento de palabras y memoria de trabajo. Faltaría determinar la dirección de su relación con la comprensión.
- Contribution to the validation of the expectancy-value scale for primary school studentsPublication . Peixoto, Francisco; Radišić, Jelena; Kesegi-Krstin, Ksenija; Hansen, Brian Benjamin; Laine, Anu; Baucal, Aleksandar; Sõrmus, Maarja; Mata, LourdesGrounded in ‘expectancy-value’ theory, this paper reports on the psychometric properties of an instrument intended to measure students’ motivation in mathematics. The participants were 2045 third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students from Estonia, Finland, Norway, Portugal, Serbia and Sweden. The Expectancy-Value Scale (EVS) was found to be suitable for early grades of primary education in measuring competence self-perceptions and subjective task values relative to the mathematics field. The results indicate a good model fit aligned with the expectancy-value theory. The EVS dimensions showed good reliability, and scalar invariance was established. However, findings also indicated high correlations between some of the EVS dimensions, which is well documented for students at this age. The findings are discussed relative to the ‘expectancy-value’ theory framework and students’
- A ecologia de uma inclusão de sucessoPublication . Pimentel, Júlia van Zeller de SerpaA partir de um quadro teórico bioecológico e transaccional, (Bronfenbrenner & Morris 1998, Sameroff & Fiese, 2000), este trabalho apresenta o estudo longitudinal de uma criança com síndroma de Down, nascida em 1994 que frequenta actualmente o 6° ano de escolaridade. Tem como objectivo analisar os factores que poderão ter contribuído para o sucesso de um processo de inclusão, a nível dos diferentes sistemas ecológicos. O estudo iniciou-se no momento do nascimento. Neste trabalho salientam-se os dados essencialmente qualitativos, recolhidos a partir da entrada na escolaridade obrigatória, em que, para além dos aspectos de adaptação familiar e interacção mãe-criança, foram também analisadas a evolução das aprendizagens e a participação social nos contexto extra-familiares. O processo de transição para o segundo ciclo, aos doze anos, mostrou as dificuldades que a escola tem para pôr em prática uma verdadeira Inclusão. Não sendo possível extrapolar os seus resultados, este estudo de caso mostra a Interdependência de um conjunto de variáveis ecológicas na optimização das potencial idades de uma criança com sindroma de Down. ------ ABSTRACT ------ Within an ecological and transactional model (Bronfenbre ner & Morris, 1998, Sameroff & Fiese,.2000), this paper presents a longitudinal case study of a Down syndrome child, born in 1994, attending the 6th grade in a regular school setting. We aim to show the different factors that have contributed for the success of this child's inclusion. The study begun immediately after birth but, in this work we ernphasise data collected since lhe child entered compulsory school when we analysed both familiar and school variables that could be related to learning acquisitions and social participation. When the child was twelve, the transition process to a diferente school setting, showed how difficult it is to achieve inclusion. The data in this case study can not be generalised but show the interdependence of different ecological variables in the development of aDown syndrome child.
- Efeitos de uma intervenção sobre emoções a partir de histórias tradicionaisPublication . Fernandes, Ana Rita Ligeiro; Mata, Maria de Lourdes Estorninho NevesEste trabalho teve dois objetivos a elaboração de um programa para trabalhar emoções básicas com crianças em idade pré-escolar sustentado em histórias infantis e a análise do seu impacto no desenvolvimento do conhecimento das emoções a 3 níveis: nomeação, reconhecimento e conhecimento da causa das emoções, O programa foi desenvolvido com crianças dos 3 aos 5 anos, existindo um grupo de intervenção com questionamento ao nível das emoções (Alegria, Tristeza, Raiva e Medo) e um grupo de controlo. Após 8 sessões identificaram-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os 2 grupos, no seu conhecimento das emoções.
- Exponential random graph models of preschool affiliative networksPublication . Daniel, João Rodrigo; Santos, António José; Peceguina, Maria Inês Duarte; Vaughn, Brian E.Exponential random graph models were used to assess the relevance of reciprocity, popularity, transitivity controlling for effects based upon ego and alter sex, and sex homophily, on the formation of affiliative ties in 19 Portuguese preschool peer groups. The number of times two children were recorded as nearest neighbors in focal samples was used as an indicator of the relationship's strength. Independent parameter estimates of the different models (one for each group) were summarized, separately for the three age groups (“3-year-olds”, “4-year-olds” and “5-year-olds”) using a multi-level approach to meta-analysis. Results showed that affiliative ties between children were sex segregated, highly reciprocal, more likely to be directed to a restricted number of children and with a tendency to create transitive triads. The structural processes underlying the formation of affiliative ties were quite stable between classrooms.
- Interdisciplinary teaching practices in STEAM education in BrazilPublication . Abra Olivato, J.; Castro Silva, J.This study explored primary school teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs about interdisciplinary teaching practices related to science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education and project-based learning to understand teacher perceptions and practices and to recommend some teacher training according to the national curricular standards in Brazil. Qualitative data were gathered using semi-structured interviews carried out with in-service teachers, which were supplemented by a questionnaire featuring both closed-ended and open-ended questions. The data were subsequently subjected to quantitative analysis. The findings reveal that while most teachers are familiar with and incorporate project-based learning into their pedagogical approaches, their awareness of and training in STEAM education are limited. Nevertheless, teachers perceived themselves as being very competent across most STEAM domains, including interdisciplinary curricular integration and projects. Chemistry, physics and arts are exceptions, with lower levels of teacher self-efficacy when compared to the other disciplines. This article examines the implications of these findings for pedagogical practices and teacher training in Brazil, while addressing what are teachers’ current perceptions of STEAM practices, encompassing project-based learning and interdisciplinarity. It identifies the training requirements necessary to enhance their confidence in teaching science, while integrating arts-related subjects.
