    PS is multi-component intervention at the primary prevention level and aims at creating a positive learning environment and decreasing problem behaviours among students in the school years 4-9. During 2009-2012 the programme was both implemented and studied for the first time in a Swedish context. The present thesis comprises four studies of PS and applies a mixed methods approach. The thesis aims to study: 1) If the programme is effective in enhancing the classroom climate, and decreasing problem behaviours among students (Study I), 2) teachers and school staff’s perceptions of programme and implementation (study II and III) and 3) if teacher’s use of praise and clarity of school rules, regardless of programme use, are useful as classroom management techniques, and if there are any differences between classes in terms of disruption (study IV).A quasi-randomized trial was conducted in study I, comprising 3207 students in school grades 5-7 and 188 teachers in 23 schools in the wider area of Stockholm. The participating children and their head teachers answered self-report questionnaires on three occasions: At baseline and one and two years after programme initiation. Degree of implementation in the schools was also measured. Further, a qualitative design with semi-structured interviews and thematic content analysis was used in study II and III. The interviews were conducted in seven PS schools with seven school leaders and 13 school teachers during 2010 and 2011. In study IV, students (n=2266) and classes were divided into two groups, based on teacher ratings of disruptive students in class. Baseline and 12-month follow-up responses were used to perform multiple regression analysis, to compare groups and to investigate possible longitudinal associations.Study I showed no significant effects on students’ problem behaviours and classroom climate at last follow-up. The findings from study II indicated barriers to programme commitment in terms of lack of consensus, collaboration barriers and insufficient process management. It was concluded that leadership, coaching and staff selection need particular attention when implementing a programme like PS, since those factors have been defined as important implementation drivers, both in this study and previously. Study III showed that teachers’ professional identity, programme understanding and experience of change were factors affecting implementation. Ambiguities regarding the boundaries of the social assignment, opposition against the theoretical underpinnings and an unclear core component were identified as implementation barriers. In study IVit was shown that clarity of school rules did not substantially contribute to classroom climate, whereas teacher’s use of praise to some extent did. The hypothesis on weaker associations in the low disruption group could not be confirmed.This thesis cannot provide an answer to the question whether PS is effective or not, since findings indicate that the implementation did not succeed. However, findings in the last study indicate that teacher’s use of praise may contribute to improve the classroom climate. If the PS programme is to be used again there is a need for revisions, and sufficient time for schools to consider programme adoption will be crucial. Aspects of programme implementation are further discussed.List of scientific papersI. Bodin, M. C., South, S. H., Ingemarson, M. (2015).

    Trappan-modellen : Praktik och framtida studier

    No full text
    Barns fysiska och psykiska hälsa kan påverkas allvarligt både på kort och lång sikt av att uppleva våld. Att barn som upplever våld ges möjlighet till beprövade stöd och hjälpinsatser kan därför inte nog betonas. Trappanmodellen är en svensk stödmetod för krissamtal med barn som upplevt våld i sin familj som är brett använd främst inom socialtjänsten i Sverige. Att arbeta enligt Trappan modellen innebär att man erbjuder barn individuella krissamtal i tre steg, kontakt, rekonstruktion och kunskap. Genom Trappansamtalen får barn en möjlighet att berätta om sina upplevelser och tankar. Trappan modellen växte fram i ett projekt som Rädda Barnen drev 1996-1999. Målsättningen med projektet var att synliggöra barn som upplevt våld och att utveckla en modell för krissamtal för dessa barn. Boken ”och han sparkade mamma – Trappanmodellen i möte med barn som bevittnar våld ” skriven av Ami Arnell och Inger Ekbom, kom ut första gången på Rädda Barnens förlag 1999. Boken finns nu i en tredje omarbetad upplaga och idag arrangeras utbildning i Trappan modellen med högskolepoäng av Ersta Sköndal Bräcke högskola. Inger Ekbom, socionom och leg. Psykoterapeut kommer under dagen att berätta hur metoden är uppbyggd och hur den är tänkt att användas. Därefter kommer Susanne Björk studierektor för utbildningen och fil dr Maria Ingemarson beskriva en planerad förstudie som är tänkt att utgöra grunden för en tydlig definition av Trappans programteoretiska modell och ett genomförande av en större systematisk utvärdering av själva metoden och dess effekter. Förstudien har en kartläggande och en undersökande ansats och planeras innefatta litteraturstudier, frågeformulär till verksamheter i Sverige som har utbildats i Trappan samt semistrukturerade intervjuer med professionella metodutövare. </p

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2015.Este esboço de biografia procura citar algumas imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: construções biográficas de naturezas múltiplas, elaboradas em contextos, por atores e sob condições igualmente díspares. Está constituído a partir de uma visão crítica da História, o que permite que ?outras imagens?, fragmentárias e não monumentais, também tenham espaço. Em diálogo com o princípio da montagem, este esboço apresenta-se em duas partes. Na primeira, Imagens possíveis, estão citadas as imagens elaboradas em vida e post mortem acerca do austríaco-brasileiro que nasceu em Viena em 1900, se exilou no Brasil em 1939 e morreu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1978. Na segunda, Montagens possíveis, apresentam-se duas possibilidades de exercício biográfico: pela leitura alegórica do documentário O velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), entendido como instrumento de intervenção no contexto ditatorial brasileiro e de uma reelaboração biográfica concernentes às suas experiências europeias; e pelo Caderno de imagens críticas, registro dos encontros em Carpeaux pelo meio de imagens críticas produzidas a partir da cesura do presente.Abstract : This biographical sketch attempts to quote some images of Otto Maria Carpeaux: various types of biographical constructions, carried out in different contexts by disparate authors under conditions just as distinct. It stems from a critical view of history, allowing for ?other images? fragmented and non-monumental ? to share the space.In dialogue with the montage principle, this sketch has two parts. The first, Possible Images, quotes the images produced during and after the life of the Austrian-Brazilian, who was born in Vienna in 1900, went to Brazil in exile in 1939 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. The second part, Possible Montages, presents two possibilities of a biographical exercise: through the allegorical reading of documentary O Velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), understood as an instrument of intervention in the Brazilian dictatorship context and as a biographical retelling of the author?s European experiences; and through my Scrapbook of Critical Images, a record of the encounters in Carpeaux through critical images produced from the caesura of the present

    Maria José ao encontro de Tchekov

    “A Carta da Corcunda para o Serralheiro” (“Letter from the Hunchback Girl to the Metalworker”), signed by Maria José, was first performed in a theatre show in 1988 (by actress-director Maria do Céu Guerra), two years before the typescript was published in book form for the first time by Teresa Rita Lopes. The evidence upon which this article is built is that it was the theatre that revealed the dramatic destination of this singular epistle of the only female heteronym that Fernando Pessoa invented, which was also the last heteronym to be created by the author. The dramatic construction of Maria José can be approximated to the character-building strategies in Anton Chekhov’s realist dramaturgy, in a way that differs from Pessoa’s other dramaturgical experiences. The analysis of Chekhov’s ascendancy over Stanislavski’s research, as well as the importance of Schopenhauer’s conception of the tragicomic, which is simultaneously projected onto Chekhov’s theatre and Maria José’s profile, are favourable lines of reading for this rapprochement between Pessoa and the Russian fiction writer and playwright. Pessoa’s readings of Chekhov’s texts (such as the play Uncle Vania and the short story “Vanka”) provide relevant data for assessing the magnitude of this encounter.“A Carta da Corcunda para o Serralheiro”, assinada por Maria José, começou por ser difundida num espectáculo de teatro em 1988 (pela actriz-encenadora Maria do Céu Guerra) dois anos antes de o dactiloscrito se ver publicado em livro, pela primeira vez, por Teresa Rita Lopes. Parte-se da evidência de ter sido o teatro a revelar a destinação dramática da epístola singular do único heterónimo mulher que Fernando Pessoa inventou, que terá sido também o último a ser criado pelo autor. A construção dramática de Maria José pode ser aproximada às estratégias de construção de personagem na dramaturgia realista de Anton Tchekov, de um modo que se distingue de outras experiências dramatúrgicas de Pessoa. A análise do ascendente de Tchekov sobre as pesquisas de Stanislavski, bem como a importância da concepção de tragicómico em Schopenhauer, que se projecta em simultâneo sobre o teatro de Tchekov e sobre o perfil de Maria José, são linhas de leitura propícias para esta aproximação entre Pessoa e o ficcionista e dramaturgo russo. As leituras de textos de Tchekov por parte de Pessoa (como o caso da peça Tio Vânia e o conto “Vanka”) fornecem dados relevantes para avaliar a magnitude deste encontro

    Tried to when analyzing the works of Coleção História da Vó Preta, of the Santa Mariense author Maria Rita Py, the representation of black people, showing how the issues surrounding it in society, his yearnings, sorrows, lived since last century , are present in contemporary children's literature. The literature has shown an increasing concern in presenting a cultural identity that expresses the relationship of social inclusion. The Brazilian reality shows that the black, after the liberations of slaves, and most recently with the growth of the black movement, assumed a new vision, creating a new discourse in this literature, when passing to be personage of the transformation of black spirit (sense). It is in this context that the black literature of Maria Rita Py inserts, dedicated to child audience, search for solutions to solve the problems of this personage such as frustration, rejection, desire to be white, doubts and anxieties of children black in society, affect self-esteem and identityProcurou-se ao analisar nas obras da Coleção História da Vó Preta, da autora santa-mariense Maria Rita Py, a representação do negro, demonstrando como as questões que o envolvem na sociedade, seus anseios, mágoas, vividas desde o século passado, estão presentes na literatura infantil contemporânea. A literatura tem evidenciado uma preocupação cada vez maior em apresentar uma identidade cultural que expresse as relações de inclusão social. A realidade brasileira mostra que o negro, após a libertação dos escravos, e mais recentemente com o crescimento do movimento negro assumiu uma nova visão, criando um novo discurso nessa literatura, quando passa a ser personagem da transformação da consciência negra. Neste contexto que se insere a literatura negra de Maria Rita, dedicadas ao público infantil, destaca-se a preocupação em buscar soluções para resolver os problemas dos seus personagens tais como: frustração, rejeição, desejo de ser branco, dúvidas e os anseios de crianças negras na sociedade, mas que afetam a auto-estima e a sua identidade
