Abstract: Character education provides values that can be owned and practiced by the child so that all deeds in his life have a characteristic value in the future. The problem of character education in the family that emerged today is the disintegration of character traits in early childhood. Cultural values on the family and society or more precisely the values of heritage characters are still able to maintain well and still original in some people who still hold Java Javanese culture. This study aims to find answers to the right character education pattern for early childhood in Pleret District. This research will also construct early childhood character education in Pleret Subdistrict in order to become a foothold for every family in teaching character education to their children.   Abstrak: Pendidikan karakter memberikan nilai-nilai yang dapat dimiliki dan diamalkan oleh anak agar semua perbuatan dalam hidupnya mempunyai nilai yang berkarakter di kemudian hari.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo entender a percepção dos professores de educação infantil sobre os princípios da Integração Sensorial (IS), assim como a identificação dos sinais sugestivos de Disfunção de Processamento Sensorial (DPS) e as atribuições ao processo de aprendizagem. A amostra foi constituída de 13 professores vinculados a 3 escolas de educação infantil do município, com os quais aplicou-se um questionário e uma entrevista semiestruturada. Através desta coleta, foi possível encontrar uma dificuldade no reconhecimento dos princípios de IS, assim como na relação dos comportamentos das crianças que apresentam dificuldades de aprendizagem com sinais de DPS ocorrendo uma atribuição desses acontecimentos a fatores familiares e da idade infantil. Contudo, conclui-se que os professores não possuem preparação para lidar com crianças que apresentem demandas relacionadas a DPS e que eles não conseguem compreender a importância de uma melhor investigação e avaliação dessas crianças por um profissional habilitado como o terapeuta ocupacional.Palavras-chave: processamento sensorial, aprendizagem, professores, crianças.AbstractThe present study aims to understand the perception of early childhood education teachers about the principles of Sensory Integration (IS), as well as the identification of signs suggestive of Sensory Processing Dysfunction (DPS) and attributions to the learning process. The sample consisted of 3 early childhood education schools that together present a total of 49 teachers, of which only 13 agreed to participate in the research, where a questionnaire was applied and a semi-structured interview was conducted with the objective of profiling these teachers. Through this collection it was possible to find a difficulty in recognizing the principles of S, as well as in the relationship of the behaviors of children who present learning difficulties with signs of SD, with an attribution of these events to family factors and child age. However, it is concluded that teachers are not prepared to deal with children who present demands related to Sensory Processing Dysfunction, and that they cannot understand the importance of better investigation and evaluation of these children, by a qualified professional such as the Occupational Therapist.Keywords: sesorial processing, learning, teaching, children.ResumenEl presente estudio tiene como objetivo comprender la percepción de los maestros de educación en la primera infancia sobre los principios de la Integración Sensorial (IS), así como la identificación de signos sugestivos de la Disfunción del Procesamiento Sensorial (DPS) y las atribuciones al proceso de aprendizaje.

Background: The National Early Childhood Intervention System of Portugal is an organized set of services under the responsibility of the Ministries of Health, Labor, and Social Security and Education aimed to support children between 0 and 6 years old and their families, and its mission is to ensure Early Childhood Intervention. At present, there is no research to support the extent of the use of sensory interventions in early intervention teams of Portugal. Aims: This study aims to analyze and understand the role of occupational therapists who support children with Sensory Processing Dysfunction and their families in local Early Intervention Teams. Methods: A qualitative and descriptive research was developed using semi-structured interviews. The interviews were conducted with ten occupational therapists who have worked in Early Intervention Teams in the North of Portugal for at least one year. Results: Modulation and Praxis were the categories of Sensory Processing Dysfunction most identified. Families consider that Sensory Processing Dysfunctions interfere with children's performance in activities of daily living and playing. Early childhood educators report that Sensory Processing Dysfunctions influence the child's participation in food, playing, and in more structured and directed activities. To transfer skills, occupational therapists organize training for professionals, families, and early childhood educators. Conclusion: The importance of collaborative work between professionals and the child's family is evident, and the support they provide in the natural environment and daily routines.
