Alcohol consumption is considered a global problem, principally affecting adolescents. In this context, the aims of this study were to identify the pedagogical strategies developed by elementary school teachers in the approach to alcohol with adolescents; To analyze the attitudes, beliefs, values and practices of the elementary school teachers in relation to alcohol; To discuss the repercussions of the attitudes, beliefs, values and practices of the teachers about alcohol in the dialogue with the students and in the implementation of the strategies referred to above. This was a qualitative study performed with 26 teachers of a Rio de Janeiro public school. The data were analyzed through thematic content analysis and grouped into 5 categories. It was concluded that social imaginary and attitudinal construction of the teachers directly interferes with the personal and professional practice and has repercussions in the quotidian life of the students. It was noted that the focus should not just be on the students, but on the relationship of the teachers with their pedagogic strategies.

Educational institutions have high potential for sociocultural integration of migrant children. An important role in the course of adaptation of the child belongs to the teacher, his professional skills and personal qualities. Due to the increase of cultural diversity in society and in educational institution, multicultural competences of the teacher become relevant. One of the aspects of the teacher’s multicultural competences is the mastery of forms, methods and practices of working in a multicultural class, i.e. educational technologies. Research objective is to reveal the educational technologies applied by the Russian teachers of preschool and elementary education in training and educating migrant children. We have used the questionnaire with open questions to study the educational technologies for working with migrant children applied in teaching practice. Answers of teachers have been subjected to the content analysis. Sixty-three elementary school teachers and fifty teachers of preschool institutions have participated in the research. Russian preschool and elementary school teachers consider the most acceptable and use the following educational technologies for working with migrant children: ethnocultural, group, interactive, game technologies, individualization of training, information and communicative technologies and technologies of the differentiated training. A part of the interviewed teachers give additional Russian language classes for migrant children without using technologies of training Russian as nonnative language. Also, a number of restrictions for the application of a questioning method of this research has come to light. These restrictions have been connected with impossibility to specify, clear, concretize answers of respondents.

Students’ algebraic reasoning, at the beginning of their schooling years, includes the development and promotion of functional thinking and the understanding of mathematical properties, which can be stimulated by solving problems. In the latest Portuguese Program for Mathematics Elementary Education, we do not see the topic Algebra in the first year of school although some other topics include objectives of algebraic nature. This fact showed the importance of research about the introduction of concepts and development of algebraic skills by elementary school teachers. We investigated the concept of algebraic thinking and how it has been addressed, by interviewing 50 teachers from Portugal. The results showed that the respondents agree with algebraic experiences in the early years of school; however, the data showed a considerable distance when compared to the concept of “algebraic reasoning” adopted by the current scientific community have of algebraic reasoning. With regard to activities that contribute to its promotion, problem solving was considered to play an important role in the development of algebraic skills as well as its representation and generalization.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the knowledge of elementary school teachers on child dyslexia. Methods: 10 teachers from the 1st to the 5th year of elementary education in public schools in the municipality of Abreu e Lima, Pernambuco, Brazil, participated in the study. A semi-structured interview was conducted with each teacher, individually, in the school itself and was based on some guiding questions. Results: content analysis allowed the identification of three thematic categories: 1. Teacher training does not address dyslexia; 2. Feelings and difficulties of the literacy teacher facing the challenges of literacy; 3. Lack of knowledge about dyslexia: school management of possibly dyslexic children. Conclusion: the research revealed the lack of knowledge of literacy teachers on dyslexia, despite having undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as that of teachers who participated in training offered by the municipal education network.

The continuous push for ‘Education for All’ suggests that there will be more learners with disability or exceptionality attending inclusive classrooms.  The study attempted to look at how higher education institutions in Northern Mindanao or Region 10 were preparing non-special education elementary school teachers for inclusive education.  Employing qualitative curriculum content analysis, 252 syllabi of the foundational courses in 21 Bachelor of Elementary Education degree programs for non-special education majors were examined to determine how they addressed literature-based inclusion competencies.  The findings are reflective of those in similar studies. One or two introductory theoretical courses in special education were required in preparing elementary school teachers for inclusive education.  Analysis revealed few cases of moderate to high coverage of the inclusion competencies in understanding exceptionality, collaboration, inclusive instructional strategies, and inclusive assessment under the professional education courses.  There was a predominantly zero-to-low coverage of the inclusion competencies related to the concept of inclusive education and classroom management.  The limited coverage of literature-based inclusion competencies prompted recommendations for the enhancement of elementary teacher education programs to effectively prepare teachers for inclusive classrooms.
