title: The meanings of extracurricular activities for ballarinian children

description: Abstract This study investigated the daily life of middle-class children in Salvador, Bahia. The research was developed at a ballet school with girls between six and seven years. The collection of data was done by an unstructured observation of ethnographic and exploratory character in ballet school and interviews with five children. The results point to the ambivalent meanings that circumscribe the ballet between the dimensions of the discipline and the playfulness, as well as the status of hyperactivity, which constitutes a point that unites the children of the present study and makes us reflect on the representations of childhood today. As more and more institutions specialized in offering activities for children appear, the results indicate that the environments in which extracurricular activities are developed are still scarcely explored in Brazil; and also discuss the need to investigate this childhood, which is invisible because it is considered normative.

title: Motivation and academic involvement: a study with university students

description: Abstract The researches suggest that motivation and academic involvement are important variables for the educational context. Thus, the main goal of this research was to investigate the relationship between these constructs. The sample consisted of 406 university students, the majority (81.3%) with ages varying between 20 and 30 years, female (55.2%) and public higher education institutions (70.4%). These answered the Academic Motivation Scale (EMA), the Academic Involvement Scale (EEA) and sociodemographic issues. The results showed a positive and significant correlation between motivation and academic involvement. Differences were also found regarding the sex, the period and area of the course and the involvement with extracurricular activities. These results were discussed in the light of theories of academic involvement and self-determination. It is suggested to carry out new research in order to better understand the variables that influence the motivation and academic involvement of university students.

title: Mediation intervention in braille learning: a study with visually impaired children

description: Abstract This study aimed to construct and evaluate a proposed mediational intervention with preschool children through reading workshops and writing in Braille system. The proposal is based on the concepts of Vygotsky on defectology and approach to the Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) developed by Feuerstein. The research was carried through ten Mediational workshops, in which they developed a work by reading a children's story and from her reading activities and writing in Braille system. The participants were four blind children of six and seven years in an institution that assists visually impaired people in the city of Uberaba / MG. Besides children also attended by the mothers and the teacher responsible for the room where the children study. We believe that there is need for further research due to the small number of participants.

title: Investigating college students’ school memories

description: Abstract This work aims to investigate the school memories of university students, through the use of autobiographical narratives, trying to understand the meaning they attribute to the school space. Although the school is considered as a space for the transmission of scientific and historically produced knowledge, it is important to reflect that it is a place where the subject is constituted in social, physical, emotional and cultural terms. Through the content analysis of the autobiographical narratives presented by 105 university students, it was possible to identify 11 categories of memories: positive, conflictive, playful, pedagogic, nostalgic, hierarchical, family participation, food, transgressive group, family rupture and prospective. The results indicate that relational and playful aspects were more remembered than pedagogical ones. It is argued that the collection of school memories is an interesting strategy to increase the knowledge about the practices performed in the school space and the meaning attributed to the school.

title: Adaptation, performance, evasion and academic experiences in higher education: literature review

description: Abstract The beginning of academic life is a period of great change for the student, who is often childishly treated in high school and faces the university's responsibilities and demands. The present work had the objective to review articles, published between 2005 and 2015, regarding the university adaptation related to the academic experiences, income and evasion, in the Engineering course. For that, research was carried out in the following electronic databases: Virtual Health Library (VHL), Scielo Brazil and Portal of Electronic Periodicals of Psychology (PePSIC). The following descriptors were used: academic adaptation, academic experiences, academic achievement, avoidance and engineering. We found 55 articles, but only 16 met the inclusion criteria. Most of the related empirical articles (66.7%) use the Questionnaire of Academic Experiences (QVA) or Questionnaire of Academic Experiences - reduced version (QVA-r). Two of them (13.3%) used this instrument together with the Social Skills Inventory and another three (20.0%) with the Student Characterization Questionnaire. It is concluded that interpersonal relationships can favor academic achievement and delay evasion, as well as student support services; and the shortage of the subject in the courses of engineering was verified.

title: The Academic Performance and Child Perceptions of Teacher Leadership Styles

description: Abstract This study aimed to verify the relationship between the academic performance of children and their perception of the leadership styles of their teachers. There are119 students from 4th and 5th years of public elementary schools, aged between 8 and 1 who participated the study. The students were distributed according to their grades in three groups: low, medium and high school performance. The Teacher Leadership Styles Inventory was used for data collection. The results showed that, in relation to the school performance groups and the teacher leadership styles, there was no statistically significant result (p&gt; 0.05). However, there was a relationship between the perception of greater use of coercive control by the teacher in the group of lower school performance when compared to the group with high school performance, this difference being statistically significant (p &lt;0.05). We discuss this relationship and point out the importance of more positive educational practices.

title: Psychologist's activity in the school inclusion of students with autism and intellectual deficiency

description: Abstract The objective of the study was to operationalize the performance of the psychologist-researcher in the process of school inclusion of students with autism (ASD) and intellectual disability (DI), based on interventions applied by teachers and parents; and evaluate the reading and writing learning of the experimental group (exposed to interventions) and control. It was attended by 14 students, seven parents and nine teachers. The procedure involved the planning of the interventions, the training with the agents, the application of the interventions and supervision by the psychologist, post-test and follow-up. The performances of the control group did not present many variations between pre- and post-test. The experimental group went from zero to higher performance in the post-test (reading: 33%, 75% and 100% correct for others, written: 50%, 75%, 75% and 100% correct for the others). The performance of the psychologist contributed to the inclusion of students with ID and TEA, in spite of the segregating practices performed with this public, in previous decades.
