          Abstract

          Uma parcela grande de alunos enfrenta dificuldade de aprendizagem, e lidar com este desafio traz dúvidas para muitos professores, tanto os já experientes como os em processo de formação. O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o perfil dos 60 alunos encaminhados para acompanhamento escolar por meio da realização de estudos de caso (observação e entrevista) desenvolvidos pelos graduandos do curso de Pedagogia. A análise do perfil considerou: nível de escolaridade, idade, sexo, incidência de reprovação, tipo de dificuldade mais evidente e acesso (ou não) a reforço escolar. Evidenciou-se que o maior percentual de encaminhamento ocorre no 3º ano, aos 8 anos de idade, sendo a maioria meninos. A leitura e a escrita são as áreas que motivaram o encaminhamento do maior número de alunos quando estas coocorreram. Questões de comportamento, ligadas à desatenção, estão presentes em 35% da amostra, sendo que cerca de 30% dos alunos já tinham sido reprovados. Dos alunos encaminhados, 70% não recebiam acompanhamento extraclasse. O perfil evidenciado revela a atenção redobrada que os alunos com problemas para aprender necessitam. Destacou-se o papel que a formação inicial e continuada pode desempenhar no sentido de impulsionar o professor a uma constante reflexão sobre sua prática pedagógica, analisando as acomodações necessárias para desenvolver o potencial dos alunos, respeitando as suas diferenças e auxiliando na superação de suas dificuldades. Enfatizou-se que, nessa perspectiva, a pesquisa colaborativa, a exemplo dos estudos de caso realizados nas escolas, é um caminho promissor, pois valoriza as trocas entre a produção acadêmica e a prática docente.

          Translated abstract

          A large number of students face learning difficulties and dealing with this challenge offers doubts to many teachers, both experienced and in the process of training. The article aims to present the profile of 60 students sent to school tutoring through the Case Studies (observation and interview) developed by the graduating students of the sixth stage of the Pedagogy course. The analysis of the profile considered: level of schooling, age, sex, incidence of disapproval, type of difficulty which are more evident and access (or not) to academic support. It was evidenced that the highest percentage of referral occurs in the 3rd year, at 8 years of age and most of them are boys. Reading and writing, when they co-occurred, are the areas that motivated the referral of the largest number of students. Behavioral issues, related to inattention, are present in 35% of the sample and about 30% of the students have already failed. Of the students referred, 70% did not receive extra-class follow-up. The profile shown reveals the increased attention that students with learning problems need. Emphasis was placed on the role that initial and continuing teacher training can play in encouraging teachers to reflect on their pedagogical practice, analyzing the accommodations needed to develop students' potential, respecting their differences and helping to overcome their difficulties. It was emphasized that, in this perspective, the collaborative research, like Case Studies carried out in schools, is a promising way, since it values the exchanges between the academic production and the teaching practice.

          Sex differences in intrinsic aptitude for mathematics and science?: a critical review.

          This article considers 3 claims that cognitive sex differences account for the differential representation of men and women in high-level careers in mathematics and science: (a) males are more focused on objects from the beginning of life and therefore are predisposed to better learning about mechanical systems; (b) males have a profile of spatial and numerical abilities producing greater aptitude for mathematics; and (c) males are more variable in their cognitive abilities and therefore predominate at the upper reaches of mathematical talent. Research on cognitive development in human infants, preschool children, and students at all levels fails to support these claims. Instead, it provides evidence that mathematical and scientific reasoning develop from a set of biologically based cognitive capacities that males and females share. These capacities lead men and women to develop equal talent for mathematics and science.

            Working memory deficit in children with mathematical difficulties: a general or specific deficit?

            This study examined whether children with mathematical difficulties (MDs) or comorbid mathematical and reading difficulties have a working memory deficit and whether the hypothesized working memory deficit includes the whole working memory system or only specific components. In the study, 31 10-year-olds with MDs and 37 10-year-olds with both mathematical and reading difficulties were compared with 47 age-matched and 50 younger controls (9-year-olds) on a number of working memory tasks. Compared with the age-matched controls, both groups of children with MDs performed worse on tasks tapping the central executive (e.g., visual matrix span) and the phonological loop (e.g., word span). More important, the MD group performed worse than the younger controls on the counting span task, whereas the group with comorbid mathematical and reading difficulties performed worse on the counting span task and the visual matrix span task. These findings provide support for the assumption that children with MDs have a working memory deficit. More specifically, children with MDs have a central executive deficit connected to concurrent processing and storage of numerical and visual information.

              Math learning disorder: incidence in a population-based birth cohort, 1976-82, Rochester, Minn.

              To report the incidence of math learning disorder (Math LD) among school-aged children, overall and by gender. To compare incidence estimates obtained by using three different methods to identify Math LD cases. To assess the extent to which children manifest Math LD alone, versus Math LD with comorbid reading disorder. This is a population-based, retrospective, birth cohort study. Subjects included all children born 1976-82 who remained in Rochester, Minn after age 5 (N = 5718). Using records from all public and private schools, medical facilities, and private tutorial services, all individually administered intelligence quotient and achievement tests and extensive medical, educational, and socioeconomic information were abstracted. Math LD was established using research criteria based on 3 formulas (regression-based discrepancy, nonregression-based discrepancy, low achievement). Cumulative incidence rates of Math LD by age 19 years varied from 5.9% to 13.8% according to the formula used. Boys were more likely to be affected than girls, with relative risk ratios from 1.6 to 2.2 depending on the formula applied. Many children with Math LD (35% to 56.7%, depending on the formula used to define Math LD) did not have a comorbid reading disorder. These results, from a community-based birth cohort, suggest that Math LD is common among schoolchildren, and is significantly more frequent among boys than girls, regardless of definition. Many children with Math LD do not have an associated reading disorder.
