Promover competências em contexto educativo: estudo de três propostas de intervenção

Abstract

This study reflects about competencies promotion in educational context, presenting three proposals for psychoeducational intervention, Going for the Goal (GOAL) Program (DANISH, MEYER, MASH, HOWARD, CURL, OWENS, & KENDALL, 1992), Social Competencies Promotion Program (MATOS, SILVA, ALÃO, ALVES, SAMPAIO, & CARVALHO, 1997) and Instructional Program for Education and Emotional Release – PIELE (HERNÁNDEZ, & HERNÁNDEZ, 2001). These three programs aim personal and social development of the participants (children and youth) and make use of small parts/stories, the body language and drama to the teaching / learning of transversal competencies. Taking a contextualized and active interventional methodology, they defend the teacher as a facilitator of learning that focuses its attention on the learners. Having been implemented in educational settings in U.S. and Europe, assessment data show its effectiveness in the development of pro-social values, well-being, social behaviors and self-worth. These evidences induce us to believe that these programs are good intervention proposals to competencies promotion in educational context.
