Number understanding and counting, calculation and solution of arithmetic operations presented orally are basic abilities for the arithmetical skills and the learning success. Alterations of these abilities can jeopardized the academic performance of children and also indicate impairments such as acalculia or learning impairments dyscalculia. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the arithmetic abilities of 1st and 2nd grade students from the Basic Education with the Arithmetic Test and to compare the score with the one achieved in the São Paulo´s School Performance Evaluation System (SPSPES). The aim was to verify correlations between the two tests. In the study 240 pupils of 1st and 2nd grade of the Basic Municipal School in São Paulo were evaluated. The test scores were compared between the two grades with the dependent variable: the SPSPES score in two categories based on different correction criteria (Type of Answer and Correct Answers) and the Arithmetic Test score based on correct answers. Results showed better performance of 2nd grade students when compared to the 1st grade students with significant differences in SPSPES and Arithmetic Test for the Correct Answer category. However, there was no difference between the two grades for the Type of Answer Category, proposed by the creators of SPSPES evaluation. To conclude, a positive correlation was found between the two correction categories of SPSPES and Correct Answer of the Arithmetic Test.

Electronic media are present in all activities and environments frequented by children and raise concern about the impact that time of use generates on child care, especially due to the speed of feedback and reinforcement schemes that TV, tablets and computers generally use. feature. The present study sought to verify the association between attention problems and the time of using different types of electronic media during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study was performed with data collection using digital media (cell phones, tablets, TV and computer). The link for filling out the form was posted on social networks, such as Facebook and Instagram, as well as Whatsapp messages for potential participants, during the period from June 10, 2020 to August 10, 2020. In total, 431 responsible persons indicated who agreed to participate. However, 129 were excluded when the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied (which considered duplication of data, diagnoses of neurodevelopmental disorders and compliance with suggestions for social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic). The final sample consisted of 277 responsible for children aged 7 to 11 years, who answered three questionnaires: 1) Sociodemographic data sheet; 2) Use of Electronic Devices - Parent Form; 3) Inventory of Child and Adolescent Behaviors (Child Behavior Checklist - CBCL / 6-18). The analyzes were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 22.0), with p <0.05 as the significance level. Time spent playing games with adult content, playing electronic games in general and watching videos on Youtube or other channels was positively correlated with attention problems, while time with electronic media for school activities was negatively correlated with attention problems. More harmful correlations were found with attention problems for the girls sample than for the boys. Such results indicate that the time of media use, in itself, is not the only variable that needs to be controlled by those responsible, but also the activity performed, or what is the content accessed. The difference found in the comparison between boys and girls makes us reflect on the identification of issues related to attention in both sexes. Although it is not possible to identify the directionality of the relationships found, it is concluded that there is a need for special attention to girls who use electronics with high frequency in this pandemic period, in which the use of electronics is widespread in all contexts, in order to prevent attention problems from impairing your development in different activities. The results should be used as a support for guidance to parents, teachers, pediatricians and other professionals who work directly in caring for children regarding the use of electronic media

In the 1980s and 1990s, part of the architectural scene was labeled as “minimalist”. The term, taken from the 1960s art movement known as Minimalism or Minimal Art, denoted a tendency to formal reduction in buildings of the time. Comparisons were made between aspects of Minimalism and architectural works, suggesting that architects have made use of art strategies. This research has considered four aspects of the topic – elementary form, materiality, uniform repetition and emptiness – as a starting point for the study of eight buildings, searching for similarities and differences between art and architecture approaches that may validate or not their association. The repercussion of Mies van der Rohe’s work in the 1980s and 1990s has also been evaluated. The 1986 reconstruction of the German Pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition marks the return of the “less is more” dictum, which starts being considered once again by some of the architectural practices, after the postmodern critique of modernism in the previous two decades.

La enseñanza de literatura para los adolescentes se les presenta, sea por los libros didácticos o en clases, como una materia que explota mucho más los hechos históricos de una época que una disciplina que posibilita el estudio del arte como fuerza creativa de la imaginación y la intención estética del lenguaje escrito. En ese contexto de enseñanza, la literatura llega al alumno de una manera limitada, divulgando apenas los acontecimientos de un pasado lejano de los días actuales. Una vez que la literatura queda restricta al estudio de los hechos históricos, el lado lúdico, la explotación de la lengua en su sentido más connotativo, así como la utilización de los recursos lingüísticos y estilísticos, quedan relegados a un segundo plan. De esta manera alejamos del aprendiz el placer por la lectura de los clásicos y dejamos de presentarle las publicaciones contemporáneas y postmodernas, o sea, perdemos una vez más la oportunidad de motivar adecuadamente el alumno. Basado en la observación de esta realidad, este trabajo tiene como objetivo discutir las condiciones de esta disciplina en la enseñanza media, abarcando siempre un diálogo con los Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs). Este estudio se apoya en el análisis de algunos libros didácticos indicados por el Programa Nacional do Livro do Ensino Médio PNLEM/2005, enfocando, de manera especial, el concepto de literatura que cada uno presenta y como se hace concretamente esa enseñanza.

The object of this study is the law measure municipal provisional. The Federal Constitution of 1988, like the previous one, disposed, in a specific section, the formation’s process of the laws, including the normative species of the Brazilian Legal Order, without restricting the use of the provisional measure by the Federal Executive. Thus, the other entities of the Federation, in the use of their autonomy in the federative system and the symmetry derived from it, may, in the elaboration of their regional and local Statutes, choose which normative instruments should be included in their legislative processes. The primary normative activity of the Executive today is a requirement of the modern state, which often needs to act immediately in order to serve the public interest and cannot wait for the ordinary legislative process. The provisional measure is immediately submitted to the Parliament for consideration, for validation, through the process of conversion into law, giving the last word as representatives of popular sovereignty. This primary normative instrument, of exceptional use, with force of law, made available to the chief of the Executive, for use in cases of Brazilians cities, such as Natal, Rio Branco, Palmas and João Pessoa. The discipline of the provisional measure, in the local laws, complies with the limits of the regulation set forth in article 62 of the Constitution, and is intended, in most cases, for use in public calamity and public commotion for the opening of extraordinary credit, in accordance with article 167, § 3, of the Federal Constitution, situations that fulfill the assumptions of relevance and urgency.
