Summary: The objective of this paper is threefold: 1-Analyzing the influence between phonological awareness (syllabic and phonetic) and the learning of reading and writing. 2-check the influence of some variables lingüsticas in the initial learning of reading and writing. 3, - Identify the variables lingüsticas that best discriminate against students from high and low performance lectoescritor. The first two objectives have been addressed from a quasi methodology, with a fairly rigorous monitoring of potential variables strange, and the third by a methodology correlacional-predictiva using the technique of discriminant analysis (N = 106 and N = 99). The main findings were as follows: * Knowledge phonetic maintains a casual relationship with the aprendizjae lectoescritor, and this relationship continues the next year with writing. * The training tasks knowledge in conjunction with the teaching phonetic code for the Early Childhood Education, explains the best results in writing tasks level in 1Â º Primary Education. * It has not been shown that among variables lingüsticas such as vocabulary, articulation and verbal memory, there is a causal relationship with reading and writing, at least in the beginning of their learning, while this relationship it has been demonstrated with the knowledge phonetic. * Variables lingüsticas that best discriminate against students from high and low performance in reading and writing, both in moments starts them on their acquisition and after 1Â º Primary Education are, in this order, knowing the name and / or sound of letters, phonetic awareness and knowledge syllabic. In addition, this paper contribute two original materials: The Evidence for the Assessment of Knowledge phonological (CEECs) and the Method of Teaching Reading and Writing which includes tasks phonological awareness.

Summary: The research work to be presented in this Doctoral Thesis stems from the need on the one hand, to work together on follow-up study of children at high risk neonatológico born in the General Hospital Yagà ¼ and with the incorporation of Burgos on the status of the same school and secondly, to analyze the reality of the practice of early childhood intervention in the province of Burgos. The work is divided into three parts. In the first part we collect information on the situation neonatologíca of high-risk infants in the Hospital General Yagà ¼ e de Burgos between the years 1986 and 1991 based on the risk indicators which manages Sercicio Neonatal of Hospital.Posteriormente collect information through the families and / or the school of their school situation. From the information we gathered frequency analysis of the different variables and an analysis of correlation between variables reporting of the situation neonatal and the current situation. In sugunda party collect information through open interview of a sample of professionals working in early attention in various service ámvito of health, education and the sevicios labor on the conceptualization of leaving practice and they do. The information ovtenida is cateforaza to be analyzed so cualitariva around the assumptions that we face. In the third part we describe the monitoring of a case, the needs that a family within which a child is born high resgo for desarrollo.A over the first 8 months of life we analyze the speeches that arise from distanitas institutions and services and the degree of satisfaction that the family says. We present some of the conclusions that we have come to the study: - There is a need to establish processes quefaciliten the early detection and referral of children of this population to school, which guarantee the right pair welcomes you to be in school at an early stage. - It should be the definition of the category of school "student at risk in the desrrollo" and the establishment of a process of psychoeducational intervention for this situation. - We believe that the climate of cooperation reached allows the possibility of establishing a partnership agreement between Education and Health, to conduct a permanent monitoring of high-risk children who are born the province of Burgos. This coordinated work would lead one hand, the implementation of a continuous monitoring of children at high risk for our province, and on the other, ensure psychopedagogical intervention in cases where necessary. A-level macro service "has shown a fairly acceptable level of functioning global system early in the province of Burgos.

Summary: This thesis explores how children are with the herd know how from his early family experiences the child will pick up and appropriates existing kinship system in their culture, as it is expressed in the organization and operation of suparentela. It is based on field research carried out with 30 cases of children to school, 6 and 7 years) of each middle-class and popular in Cali (Colombia). We have a conceptualization on the herd know, anchored in the knowledge offered by various social and human disciplines: antropologías, sociology of the family, history of attitudes, cultural psychology and psychoanalysis. The research design was based on the paradigm constructivist, which favors understanding, and a estrateiga clinic ideográfica targeted psychotherapy. Instrument exploration, and recorded graphically indagan know that pedigree on children, so that each subject visualize what you know and what we do not know and can find out what ingnora or confused. We work places to be a strategy of systematic quality, which defines categories, indicators and descriptions for each size and design tools systematization: grids valuation know pedigree and valuation family context that can be used in future investigations, and as a means diagnosis new interventions. All this is complemented by a graphical analysis of the data. Relevant results: 1, - namely pedigree, as a know it involves affective and logic, does not correlate with age: children the same age are very different types of knowing. 2 - There is a very strong correlation between interest in learning school interest in the herd know, and among disinterest in learning school and a pedigree know very poor. 3 - There is an intimate relationship between a family in which the parents do not assume their duties properly parent or adult sites trainer - and the level of pedigree know very precarious by children that are raised in those families. When parents do take their duties training their children have a wider knowledge pedigree and orderly kind of symbolic. 4-Produce a symbolic pedigree know about your family and their place in it depends on which allow and support their families in their children a questioning attitude.

Summary: Since the late 70 Premack coined the term Theory of the Mind this area of research has consolidated as a line of work very furctífera. Its unique features make the ToM is a skill essential to a proper social development and closely linked to various areas of development such as the interaction and communication, language and mental representation. The work is presented has been divided into two parts, the first, through the theoretical chapters, we have been moving in this study. We have seen the moment of occurrence object of our study, the result of study on animals; to jump from human to study and when, universally accepted, which begins to developers this capability (4.6 years or so). We have also done a review of the most commonly used to evaluate ToM focusing on those that assess false belief, and the new leap, this time to watch as there is an acquisition of such capacity in subjects with pathologies. This theoretical review has led us to try to elaborate on how access the ToM population signante deaf Spanish, from the city of Malaga, whether parents are deaf as if listeners. Our interest is not only in evaluating the performance, trying to establish relationships with variables that might explain the heterogeneity of outcomes usually investigate and found the arguments used to justify their answers, but also we wanted to make a modest attempt to shed light on when and how develop the ability to combine mental states basic subjects deaf attributing therefore complex mental states (2Â fourth order). The conclusions of the work done in conjunction with the discussion are the result of the most important aspects of the results: * Subjects deaf to deaf parents have a performance in simple and complex tasks similar to the population listener. * Subjects with deaf parents listeners have a delay regarding the public hearing on the performance of tasks false belief simple and complex. * Subjects with deaf parents listeners have a better performance in the simple task of Smarties in the Change of Location. * It is observed differences in performance between simple tasks (changing location and smarties) and complex (window) for subjects with deaf parents listeners. * For subjects with deaf parents listeners, the variables that explain the best performance in simple tasks are age and language and simple and complex tasks only age.

Summary: The thesis "Questionnaire Autoconcepto society. Justifificación and porpiedades psychometric" is framed, at the theoretical level, within the works that seek to link social competence with autoconcepto arguing that promote high self-esteem may lead to an improvement in interpersonal relationships , a greater commitment to the school and increase acceptance of social values such as honesty, kindness and responsibility social.En theses are collected as self-esteem is directly related to the social competence and their levels of functioning (behavioral , cognitivo-afectivo and system I) Thus, the paper presents an analysis from delas needs of the research group HUM/O378, which put derelieve a shortage of instruments that seek to evaluate the change in conceptualization Social (Social autoconcepto) incorporate subject have experienced. To address this issue the thesis has been organized into five chapters that explore different paradigms autoconcepto haciento hincapíe in the social nature of the construction of self-image and their dimensions, also includes a review of genetic terms used to designate it mismo.Posteriormente in chapters two and three, are made frame of the evolutionary and social conditions through which durannte adolescence affect self-image is developed, develops adolescence as a developmental stage and it is the differences in género.En chapter four performed a review of various studies linking aturoconcepto to conduct social.Por Finally, in chapter five methods and tools are reviewed studies on the self-image by highlighting the lack of tools to measure autoconcepto society. The phases of the investigation are organized in three studies, the first of which consists of a pilot study in which they analyzed the psychometric properties and discusses its structure factorial.En The second study examines the properties psiocmétricas of debugging tool that has been obtained in the study anterior.Por Finally, the study examines three relationships have been established between the questionnaire and other constructs.

Summary: The topic of study developed in this thesis is the production and use of notations and its relationship to the knowledge of the mental states in preschool children. The first part of the thesis focuses on the theoretical framework on external systems of representation and mental states. Different work on the external systems of representation have highlighted the importance of these systems gain in children and the knowledge that they had long before they enter school. Moreover, research on Theory of the Mind suggest awareness of children from the mental states in themselves and others from 4 years or so. This knowledge will be crucial in their interpersonal relationships and enabling them to establish a form of communication with others in which individuals will be able to get in the place of another person and realize, among other things, adapting a written message to the state of knowledge another individual may make this decode it properly. The overall objectives of the research are: 1-To analyze the relationship between the capacity to produce functionally notations communication and the ability to differentiate mental state itself and others. 2-To compare the capacity to produce notations communicative with the ability to deliver messages oral communication, both in its format veracity of deception. To achieve these goals, in the second part of the thesis we conducted two pilot studies complementary, so that in the first study delved into the relationship between the communicative function of the notations and the ability of attributing mental states in 240 children Mexicans from 3 to 6 years, divided into two groups. The results of this preliminary study suggest that there is a relationship between the capacity to differentiate two mental states (himself and others), as measured by success in the test of false belief and the ability to produce functionally communicative notations from the 4-6 years. However, while the ability to differentiate mental states is a necessary condition so that they can produce functional notations, is not a sufficient condition. It seems that other skills associated with the knowledge of the systems notacionales and with the pragmatic skills of their use, play an important role. In the second study, the aim focused on the investigation of the effect of mode of communication in messages produced for the purpose of comparing the production and use of notations and spoken messages. For this, 270 girls and Mexican children from 3 to 5 years of age produced and broadcast messages notations under 2 conditions: truthfulness and deception. The results suggest an improvement in both symbolic systems related to age, but a slight evolutionary gap between the two modes of communication. Younger children were better in their spoken messages unlike older who were able to adapt the best information in their notations in their spoken messages. Finally, the last chapter of the thesis discusses the results of two pilot studies and referred to the main conclusions drawn from this work.

Summary: Schooling is early for more than 20 years a reality in the Autonomous Basque Country. Over the last decade, the massive deployment of classrooms than 2 years has turned this first cycle of Early Childhood Education in prescriptive de facto. The characteristics of their new tenants have resulted in adjustments both physically and psychology and among the latter find their psychomotor Bernard Aucouturier; intervention psicocorporal more implanted in Euskadi. The psychomotor is the area that gives an account of the psyche from the body and the body. In childhood, the body and its movement will be an agent of sustenance and psychological development. This is a relatively young field theoretical and practical emerged in France in both educational and healthcare environments. In its evolution has been away from authoritarian models and adultocéntricos, both directly through physical contact, and indirectly, through slogans, and has come close to intervention models paidocéntricos and spontaneous, with the aim of encouraging and assisting the child development at its set. Among these is the proposal of B. Aucouturier, we are going to evaluate in this investigation. Its practical effect is more than evident, but at the theoretical level than justified, demonstrated and explained, described using various psychological theories. The methodology has been observational, given that we were interested in exploring an activity common in children from 2-3 years - salto-, and in a context-daily room psychomotor. The literature review informed us of the lack of investigation and two important theoretical contributions. The key has been the theory psicogenética Henri Wallon, as it has allowed us to measure the jump in their conditions organísmicas and contextual, both natural and human, and the relationship between the two sets each subject. In fact, this is a natural automatic early childhood, the voluntary separation vertically, which grows and learns at the age of the prototype of the kind, early childhood, particularly in the stadium sensoriomotor, and announced the following, Stadium of personalism, which will depend on the functional apparatus of balance, because it represents the maximum opposition and resistance to gravity, control of the degree of vertigo and overcoming the exclusive domain of the position of the kind, vertical, his condition is balance enough. We define the action of psychomotor jump, we established sets of behaviors perceptible in which she participated, define, and ordered relate, and build them with a tool for monitoring ad hoc type format field on the "jumping during psychomotor the third year of life. " For this instrument proposed four macrocriterios, three relating to the conditions organísmicas and the fourth contextual conditions, and each of them produced a series of criteria, in turn, from each criterion was prepared a catalog with the respective behavior generated. The number of the criteria reduced to 20-bounds program informático- and 144 the number of behaviors, respectively. With the format of log all field breaks the game zone sensoriomotor the room psychomotor recorded in the 47 sessions that took place from February 2002 to June 2003 -exactamente 3,016 jumps, previously digitalizados- group's natural 2 and 3 years 8 s -15 cr 98d iaturas in both class C. Q. Lezama de Lezama (Bizkaia). Because we were interested in identifying patterns of conduct, data analysis that was applied was the Sequential Analysis of Retardos all breaks each participant for the purpose of eliciting behavioral patterns jump from standard behavior, and through computer software SDIS-GSEQ, version 4.1, we obtained the results of the 15 participants in various temporary groupings, which were in number from 6 to 8 depending on the quantity ordered and the limits of the program again. Then, we produced a table of results by individual participant, we interpret them and wrote a short report on each individual jump genesis, complete with background information and the annotations made when registering. In addition, we made a new attempt integrator on the patterns evolutivo acquisition and development of automatism in question. We arrived at 12 findings, including those related to the evolutionary patterns or rates jump, a clarification on their learning and conditions with its progress and regression, the overlapping of certain cultural references, as in vaults "Operation Triumph" the difference in muscle tone and activity by sex, and so on. So we can say that the objectives of the research, which is completely unprecedented, and have been discharged from the future prospects we have to expand the contextual conditions, both natural and human, in terms of intervention psychomotor, and the relationship to the evolution the jump in, thus further progress in objectivity, which is what corresponds to science in general and psychology in particular.

Summary: The focus of the present study doctoral thesis is the process of reviewing the composition written, as at present, it has been proved that the performance in writing and knowledge about the same are related, with the writers experts who releen text and modify sonstantemente, while writers beginners perform revisions vague to be confined to the more mechanical aspects without regard to the substantive. It has conducted two studies: the first one to be descriptive of the process of acquisition and development of all skills and abilities that the writer displays in the review text, as it is necessary for its implementation and design validation assessment tool for the review of the written composition (IRCE), and the second one on its modifiability, which aims to test the effectiveness of an instructional program in the context of the classroom, using as a resource instructional dynamic assessment, while study independently instruction in mechanical and substantive aspects of the review and its textual joint instruction. In light of the results obtained, it can be said that the acquisition process of revision follows a complex pattern, suggesting a progression of great interest and education since it allows the evolutionary sequence instructional guide, first emphasizing specific mechanical processes, such as spelling and punctuation, not to mention the external appearance of the text drawn up and grammatical aspects, and then once dominated and started automating aspects of the review mechanical nouns. We emphasize the principle eliminating words, repetition, irrelevan ences, then the inclusion of new content, adding details, then changing ocntenidos, repeated words or structures using synonyms or paraphrase, to finish with win the process of realignment and restructuring of the text. Also you can also say that students respond positively to the specific job in the review process, while confirming that the dynamic assessment as a resource instructional has proved effective.

Summary: Through this paper analyzes the changes in family dynamics during adolescence of sons and daughters and the impact that these changes have on the welfare of adolescents and their mothers. To this end we opted for a design longitudinal getting information from both the boys and girls, like their mothers. The overall objectives of the work are threefold: First, analyze trends that continue the relationships between parents and their children during adolescence, which, we are paying attention to indexes such as communication and agreement in the home, frequency of conflicts and their intensity, the degree of affection and family cohesion, and the degree of control and supervision of the teenager. As for the latter, we differentiate control behavioral and psychological. As a second major goal, we study the changes in the welfare of boys and girls to or during their second decade of life, deepening in the evolution of domestic adjustment variables as self-esteem, life satisfaction, and as external adjustment the consumption of substances or academic qualifications. Finally, our third objective is to deepen the relationship between specific patterns of family functioning and well-being of adolescents. Also pay attention to the relationship between family dynamics and the adjustment of mothers. The study consists of two phases. In the first, via a cross design, analyzed the changes in family dynamics during adolescence of sons and daughters and the influence exerted upon them the momentum. The sample consisted of 513 adolescents. The second phase consists of the longitudinal monitoring of boys and girls younger players in the earlier study, those who were interviewed when they were in their teens initial, middle and late. The sample consisted of 101 youths. Among the tools we can highlight. * Communication and agree with mother and father. Prepared for this ad hoc investigation. * Conflicts in relations with progrenitores. Prepared for this ad hoc investigation. * Styles education. Lamborn, Mounts, Steinberg and Dornbusch (1991). * FACES II. Olson, Portner and Lavee (1985). * Range emotional. Steinberg and Silverberg (1986) * Self-esteem. Rosenberg (1963). * Satisfaction vital. Prepared for this ad hoc investigation. * Academic Performance. Prepared for this ad hoc investigation. * Drug consumption. Prepared for this ad hoc investigation. * Problems adjusting. Achenbach, 1991. * Evaluation of parental stress. Sheras and Abidin, 1986. Our results have a vision of family dynamics during adolescence much less dramatic and much more standardized which is present in society generally. In our families we talk on a regular basis, conflicts over the majority of genetic issues are not very frequent or very intense. Girls and boys claim ladies feel at home, and in general, presents some positive relationships with their parents. Moreover, while increasing the consumption of snuff, alcohol and hashish, the use of these drugs is not very common, and appears limited to the weekends. These results are consistent with many others in recent years, presenting a more moderate evolutionary period of adolescence. Two are the most important messages that from our point of view is emerging from this work. The first is that adolescence is a time not so terrible as reflected in the news appearing in the media, and the social image that there delos youth.

Summary: Introduction: There is a very extensive scientific literature indicating that relations within the family (family composition, style, climate, etc.). Up a scenario that determines the portfolio of teenagers and their behavior more or less likelihood that they they are kind of problematic. Moreover, the relationships within the family context can affect the basis of security and confidence with which the boys and girls manage risks and crises that have to live. Our interest is in knowing why or how family influences the behavior of children / adolescents. In other words, we believe that there may be some variables related to the basis of security and confidence to act as a mediator in the relationship between family and behavior of adolescents, and thus to explain this relationship. Consider two variables that can play that role of a mediator or "translation" of the influence of the family on the problems of adolescent mismatch: their self-esteem and perceived social support from their significant interpersonal relationships. Objective: The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between functioning, satisfaction and family communication and three indicators psychosocial adjustment (criminal behavior, substance use and depressive mood), considering the resources of psychosocial esteem and perceived social support the teenager from a multidimensional perspective and as a mediating variables in the relationship. Results: In general, the quality of relationships between family members influences resources piscosociales in two ways: when the interactions within the family are positive (cohesive, flexible, satisfactory and characterized by open communication and fluid), they relate to the further development of the perceptions of social support and the autovaloraciones positive self. On the contrary, when these relations are negative (little cohesive and flexible, and characterized by poor communication problems), they relate to resource poor social support and self-esteem. With regard to social support, the support received from the father is a central aspect in the area of protection, both for the consumption of certain substances for involvement in acts of a criminal nature. In connection with the problems internalizantes as depressive symptoms, it appears that the protective influence of parental support is more important than the other figures provided support. Concerning self-esteem, it confirms the idea of the existence of two types of self-esteem with effects in relation to problems of an externalizante in adolescents. On the one hand, a self-protective, consists of the dimensions family and school, has shown consistent relationships protection from involvement in externalizantes problems. On the other hand, a risk of self-esteem, formed by the social and physical relationships has presented consistent risk in relation to both the criminal conduct as to the consumption of substances. On the depressive symptomatology, it is the latter type, ie self-esteem which includes self respect and friendly environment and one's own body image, which is presented as an important resource protection. Finally, it is noted that in the case of behavioral problems in nature externalizante seems that the family is rather an indirect influence. In other words, the family acts as a factor distal understanding of the criminal conduct and consumption of substances that axis 8 rce its i 407 nfluencia through more proximal factors such as perceptions of social support and autovaloraciones adolescent. In the case of depressive symptoms, the problematic nature of relations communication with parents maintains a direct and meaningful relationship with the problems of type internalizante regardless of the presence of other third variable.
