AbstractTwenty, fifth- and sixth-grade students who reported mild depressive symptomatology were placed into a brief intervention program. The program was conducted over eight, weekly, 90-minute sessions and aimed to teach students depression management strategies and positive coping skills. Significant reductions in symptoms of depression, anxiety and externalising behaviour were found and maintained for six months. The results lend support to the effectiveness of this brief program for early intervention in depression. The potential for the program to prevent the later development of clinical depression and related problems is discussed.

The evolution of virtual worlds in education has provided the creation of new pedagogical alternatives. In the present study, we explore this potential, integrating the Bloom’s Mastery Learning theory, designing a teaching method based on periodical assessments, and supplementary, support offered through the use of an OpenSim virtual world. An experiment was carried out during half of the school year of 2017, involving 74 sixth grade students in a Science class, divided in control and experimental groups. The results demonstrated better performance of the group using the virtual world in comparison to the group using the Moodle learning platform, in which, the post-test presented a slightly higher median for Group 2 (84.50) compared to Group 1 (83.00). As for the student’s impressions, it was in general of acceptance and positive impressions about the experience.

Four recently developed adolescent language tests, the Fullerton Test for Adolescents (FLTA), the Test of Adolescent Language (TOAL), the Clinical Evaluation of Language Functions (CELF), and the Screening Test of Adolescent Language (STAL), were compared to determine: (a) whether they measured the same language skills (content) in the same way (procedures); and (b) whether students performed similarly on each of the tests. First, respective manuals were reviewed to compare selection of subtest content areas and subtest procedures. Then, each of the tests was administered according to standardized procedures to 30 unselected sixth-grade students. Despite apparent differences in test content and procedures, there was no significant difference in students' performance on three of the four tests, and correlations among test performance were moderate to high. A comparison of the pass/fail rates for overall performance on the tests, however, revealed a significant discrepancy between the proportions of students identified in need of further evaluation on the STAL (20%) and the proportion diagnosed as language impaired on the three diagnostic tests (60-73%). Clinical implications are discussed.
