The aims of this chapter is to offer education professionals an assessment proposal that will help them to know the motor skills of children from 3 to 5 years old. The authors also propose to offer a methodological alternative for the creation of psychomotor intervention plans. Committed to the importance of psychomotor development for the global development of the human being, they offer an evaluation proposal using the McCarthy Aptitude and Psychomotor Skills (7th edition) as a tool. This work begins by making a chronological review of the concept of psychomotor skill and its importance in child development. It is supported by the evolutionary, psychopedagogical, psychoanalytic, and neuropsychiatric theories that have shown this aspect throughout the times, and highlighting the aptitudes and stages of motor development that children under 3, 4, and 5 years old must reach. The authors hope to provide practical knowledge that will contribute to the optimization of educational work and benefiting children´s development.

Early infant education and care have become priority issues in Brazil. The present article evaluates the spatial distribution of public preschools in the municipality of Curitiba, in Paraná State, Brazil. This problem is an important aspect of school administration and can relieve problems of inequality in public education, such as accessibility and availability of places. The main contribution of this article is the system it proposes for rationalizing decision-making in the education system in question. This system presents four complementary analyses, although they are independent of one another: (i) analysis of the current location of facilities; (ii) analysis of the proposed location; (iii) analysis for expanding the capacity of existing units; and (iv) analysis of the opening of new facilities. The models were generated using VB.NET© modeling language and were solved by the CPLEX© solver. The results showed that, in general, there is a need for immediate planning to increase the number of places available in public infant education in Curitiba, which is also a requirement for compliance with the goals of the National Education Plan (NEP) that is now in force nationwide.

The present study shows the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Spanish health questionnaire so-called Cuestionario de Salud Docente (CSD) for the Brazilian context with regard to the following variables: welfare (satisfaction and self-efficacy), and malaise (musculoskeletal dysfunctions, cognitive dysfunctions, breakdown and vocal cord dysfunctions). Some stages were performed to ensure the quality of translation and adaptation of the CSD with regard to semantic, idiomatic, experiential and conceptual equivalence between the original items and the translated ones. The final sample of the pilot study consisted of 697 teachers, 168 men and 529 women, aged between 18 and 52 years, working in 03 infant education centers, 9 Elementary schools from the 1st to 5th grade, and 04 Elementary schools from the 6th to 9th grade, and High School. Kappa test was used for assessing the temporal stability of the scores, and Cronbach's alpha test for the internal consistency of the dimensions and overall evaluation of the instrument. A satisfactory correlation between them was seen. As a measuring instrument, the questionnaire is considered reliable to evaluate teachers’ health, in addition to containing guidelines for further studies on welfare and malaise variables of Brazilian teachers.

This article focuses the conceptions of gender and sexuality of the infant education teachers of the municipal schools net of the city of Canoas (Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil). We listed the contributions that set up our theoretical opinions. Afterwards we analyzed the focal group that was accomplished with 26 teachers, where we presented to the group images that deal about the theme and listened to their understandings. The results point out the necessity of including themes of gender and sexuality in the professional graduation formation and post graduation in the Pedagogy area.
