The objective of the present study was to discuss the theoretical and methodological principles recommended by Alexsander Romanovich Luria and their application to neuropsychological and educational assessment in infants. We present a case study of a male child, 11 years of age, diagnosed with generalized idiopathic epilepsy absence with a history of school in mathematics. The neuropsychological evaluation followed four steps proposed by Luria: (1) qualitative analysis of the symptoms, (2) quantitative evaluation of activity, (3) qualitative evaluation of activity, and (4) the proposition of a rehabilitation program. These steps were contemplated based on a neuropsychological protocol composed of nomothetic and idiographic tasks. We found deficits in manipulation activities, especially ones that demand visuospatial and visuoconstructive skills, associated with school difficulties in mathematics. The Lurian method allowed us to identify preserved and compromised cognitive functions, allowing interventions that minimized the identified deficits. Keywords: Neuropsychological Assessment.

Apresenta-se um estudo de caso de uma criança do sexo masculino, 11 anos de idade, diagnosticado com epilepsia idiopática generalizada do tipo ausência com histórico de dificuldades escolares em matemática. A avaliação neuropsicológica realizada seguiu os quatro passos propostos por Luria: (1) análise qualitativa do sintoma, (2) avaliação quantitativa da atividade, (3) avaliação qualitativa da atividade, e (4) a proposição de um programa de reabilitação. As etapas aludidas foram realizadas a partir da utilização de protocolo composto por tarefas nomotéticas e idiográficas. Foram identificados déficits em atividades manipulativas, notadamente aqueles que demandaram habilidades visoespaciais e visoconstrutivas, associadas com dificuldades em matemática. O modelo luriano possibilitou a identificação de funções cognitivas deficitárias e preservadas, além de proposição de intervenções que minimizaram os déficits identificados.Palavras-chave: Avaliação Neuropsicológica.

This paper argues that the ‘new governance’ narrative should be revised and modified to reflect context-specific details of the policy sector and styles of government. I discuss the modified network governance narrative, including how the theory of bureaucracy informs the function of network governance. I then apply it to analyze a case study of Korean educational assessment policy, specifically the National Assessment of Educational Achievement, as empirical evidence to support the claim. The case study revealed that central government was a major force in the policy development, and its bureaucratic power combined with soft and hard capital was strong. Responding to central government, opposing groups tried to change the policy by forming networks for collective action, utilizing the media and discovering flexibility within bureaucratic rules, which led to partial changes of the policy in the next regime. The study concludes with several remarks that contribute to policy analysis in education: (a) the usefulness of the modified network governance framework in analyzing policy; (b) bureaucratic structures as useful resources for stakeholders in policy; (c) educational and political beliefs as critical factors in forming and tightening networks; and (d) broader implications for understanding testing policy in Asian contexts.

RESUMO O Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) objetiva incentivar a formação de docentes para a educação básica pública, contribuindo para a valorização do magistério. A presente pesquisa visa avaliar a repercussão do referido programa na qualificação e formação de professores para a educação básica da rede pública, a partir da opinião de alunos do PIBID da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC). Para tanto, três objetivos foram delineados: analisar as repercussões do PIBID na qualificação docente; identificar a influência que o programa exerceu na escolha profissional do egresso; e identificar a percepção do egresso sobre a escola pública durante a experiência como bolsista. Enviou-se questionário para o endereço eletrônico de 584 egressos do PIBID, obtendo-se retorno de 14,4% (n = 84). A partir dos resultados, concluiu-se que o PIBID contribui consideravelmente para a qualificação da formação docente, além de despertar e reforçar o interesse pela docência. Palavras-chave: Ensino Superior, Avaliação Educacional, Formação de Professores. Evaluation of Institutional Program in Initiation in Teaching Scholarship (PIBID): a case study at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC)ABSTRACT The Institutional Program in Initiation in Teaching Scholarship (PIBID) aims to encourage the training of teachers for basic public education, contributing to the enhancement the magisterium. The present study aims, in view of PIBID graduates of the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), evaluate the impact of the program in the qualification and training of teachers for basic education. For this, three objectives were pursued: analyze the PIBID implications for the teaching qualification; analyze the influence that the program has had on professional egress choice; and analyze the perception of graduates of the public school during the scholarship experience. A questionnaire was sent to the email address of 584 PIBID graduates obtaining a return of 14.4% (n = 84). From the data analysis, it was concluded that the PIBID contributes significantly to the qualification of teacher education and arouses or reinforces the interest in teaching in public basic education. Key words: Higher Education, Educational Assessment, Teacher Training.

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.
