The present work has, as its objective, the development of an application of the game “The Secret Number”, available on the OBMEP´s website, and its proposed use in the classroom. Currently, Math teachers face enormous difficulties in teaching various contents, especially topics that require great mental effort from students, since the modern student is a differentiated one who requires new and innovative practices for effective learning. So, the use of games in the classroom is an interesting pedagogical option. The game “The Secret Number” was chosen as it contributes to the development of mathematical logic, the fundamental theorem of counting, and basic notions of probability. The application was developed on the SCRATCH platform and the activity sheets were created using the CANVAS application. Through the application of the game in the classroom, a gradual improvement was observed in the students' strategies to win the game, as well as an increase in their interest in the contents being taught.

This dissertation aimed to analyze the phenomenon of Child Sexual Abuse - CSA in its interface with the Justice System, especially with regard to the trajectory of the alleged victims and the quality of the interventions offered during the judicial processes. In the Brazilian context, it was intended to observe possible consequences of the changes promoted by Law n. 13.431/2017, which establishes the Guarantee System for the Rights of Children and Adolescents Victims or Witnesses of Violence. For this, two studies were carried out, the first with the objective of carrying out an integrative review of national and international literature of documentary studies with samples of criminal cases related to the ASI and the second with the objective of identifying the proposed changes in Law n. 13.431/2017 through a documentary research based on a sample of judicial sentences associated with CSA cases. The integrative review was carried out following the guidelines of the PRISMA 2020 protocol. The electronic databases Scopus, PsycNET, PubMed and Scielo were consulted, using the descriptors: “sexual abuse” AND child OR children AND justice OR “forensic psychology” OR “legal processes” OR “judicial actions” OR lawsuits OR “legal decisions” OR “court decisions” OR “psychological report” OR “psychological expertise” and similar words in Portuguese, for articles published in English, Portuguese and Spanish between 2010 and 2020. Initially 538 articles were found, 530 of which were deleted according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The results pointed to: the incipience in relation to documentary research supported by legal proceedings related to the CSA, mentioning limitations of access to more robust and complete data; significant flaws in conducting psychological expertise; disregard for good practices in interviews and non-use of forensic interview protocols in children's testimonies. In the documentary research, data were collected through an electronic tool with open access to Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo information. Initially, 221 sentences were found, of which 27 were selected according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. With regard to the profile of victims, aggressors and characterization of violence, the results found confirmed previous studies, demonstrating the complex dynamics involved in these cases. During the identification and analysis of the main documents that supported the judgments, the insistence on the search for material evidence was observed, evidenced by the high prevalence of medical expertise, to the detriment of psychological expertise, carried out in only one third of the cases analyzed, despite its effectiveness and influence on the outcome of judicial decisions. With regard to the specific objective of evaluating the impact of enforcing Law n. 13.431/2017, a trend towards a decrease in the total processing time of cases was identified, greater speed in scheduling the testimony of victims in court and an increase in the rate of convictions. It is hoped that the present study can contribute to the understanding of the ASI phenomenon in its interface with the Justice System and that the collected data can be used in training strategies for professionals involved in the system of guaranteeing the rights of children and adolescents.

In this work we made a quick study on some basic results related to Groups and Lie Algebras, action of Groups and Fiber Bundles with the objective of defining connections in Principal Bundles and, later, in Associated Vector Bundles. Once these concepts are understood, in the main part of this work, following the article Stability and Isolation Phenomena for Yang-Mills Fields by J.P. Bourguignon and H. B. Lawson Jr., we developed the “geometric environment” and defined the Yang-Mills Functional in order to demonstrate a stability result, namely: every weakly stable Yang-Mills field on S4 with structure group G = SU(2),SU(3),U(1) or U(2) is self-dual or anti-self-dual.

In this master’s research, we aim to understand how the “racial agenda” has been mobilized by Brazilian companies, especially from the repercussions of the murder of George Floyd, and how black informational/digital workers experience insertion and permanence in a markedly white sector, which, to a greater or lesser extent, have sought to incorporate this “agenda”. To this end, we followed cases of companies that had public repercussions on the national scene, either through statements considered racist or selection processes exclusive to black professionals. We work with the Nubank, Magazine Luiza, and Ável repercussions. Aligned with this larger context, we sought to understand the perceptions of black informational workers who work in technology companies in the city of São Carlos-SP. We used the life history method to access black employees’ perceptions and racial experiences in different stages of their lives, focusing on their racial experience in the current work. Based on the interviews, we sought to understand whether and in what ways these workers would be targets of racial distinction. We noticed that their organization in a collective or committee allows important deliberations for this group and its permanence within the company. This ambiguous position these workers occupy in the company does not escape the logic of exploitation, since they become the main ones responsible for combating the inequalities that cross them through the creation of actions of diversity and inclusion, and the racial literacy of the other workers, without the due financial return. Finally, we try to discuss through the literature how the concepts of diversity, identity, and difference are understood in this context.

Upon taking flight, humanity began to experience conflicts hitherto unheard of, and the Wright brothers, pioneers of American aviation, recorded the first occurrence of wildlife hazard in history in 1905 even before the airplane was invented the following year by the Brazilian Alberto Santos Dumont. The development of aviation in the interwar period forced countries to raise levels of aviation organization, which allowed an increase in the flow of transport, with this, conflicts also grew. Lifting, handling and management techniques need to be tested and applied in order to increase operational safety. MCA 3-8 is the main wildlife hazard manual used in Brazil, both by civil and military airports, and this manual contains the procedures related to the achievement of a preliminary approach to identify the problems related to the wildlife of a given airport: Wildlife Hazard Identification (IPF). Is the execution of this procedure restricted to the suggestion in the manual or was it possible to find an alternative? The manual directs the preparation of the IPF by carrying out two wildlife survey samples monthly over the course of a year. The data presented show that an alternative to this sampling model is viable, concentrating the surveys in a shorter period, within each season of the year, without detriment to the sampling effort. In the present study, regardless of whether the data were obtained through monthly or seasonal surveys, the risk matrices indicated the same problem species, even with the same degree of risk, that is, for the main objective of a animal census that will compose an IPF, both proposals for obtaining the data met the needs for the analyses. From the creation of the IPF, the management process is able to be better conducted and the entire prevention chain can occur in a fluid way, with actions and resources being allocated to the right places. In short, airport managers will now be able to have more than one alternative for identifying dangers related to wildlife for air operations within their reality. It will be possible to choose the most viable option so that occurrences involving animals and aircraft are mitigated and all the lives involved are preserved, which is important for both airsafety and conservation.

This monography addresses the effects of green areas in urban atmospheres, highlighting the influence of these areas on air temperature. Initially, existing knowledge about how green space can mitigate the adverse effects of urban heat islands and improve air quality in urban environments is discussed.To investigate this relationship, the study chose to utilize data collected in the year 2021 from two meteorological stations: the UFSCar station, which serves as a reference for a cooler and more natural environment, and the CETESB station, representing an urban meteorological environment. The selected data collection locations were the UFSCar Campus and the central area of Sorocaba city. The analysis was based on meteorological information collected throughout the year 2021, spanning from January to December, enabling the assessment of air temperature variations across different seasons. For this purpose, the statistical test "T-test" was employed, which is used to compare means of two samples, determining if observed differences are statistically significant. The T-test was applied to compare air temperatures recorded at the UFSCar station and the CETESB station, allowing the evaluation of whether the green areas present at UFSCar influenced thermal variations compared to the central urban area of Sorocaba. From this test, the probability of the observed difference being due to chance or statistically significant will be determined. In conclusion, the research will explore the relationship between green areas and air temperature variations in urban atmospheres. The results obtained through statistical analysis suggest whether there is statistically significant evidence that green areas can influence urban temperatures, with important implications for sustainable urban planning and the promotion of healthier environments in cities.

Currently, it is often observed that artificial intelligence is one of the most discussed subjects around the world. The new technologies are presented in a very abrupt way to society, and often this presents itself as a problem to be fought, considering that lately there is a lot of trust in the information present online, which is a problem, because the search for complete information and veracity of information is increasingly scarce. The ChatGPT tool shows itself as a positive and useful tool in a lot of aspects, but it also presents itself as a negative tool, considering the possibility of false information. It is not really discussed the right use of this kind of tool, which is being considered a possible problem for the professionals in education who are having problems with their students, considering that most of the answers are copied from the ChatGPT. Nevertheless, the great problem observed is the lack of critical sense and the right instruction to use this tool, because the answers are wrong most of the time, which is a problem for the formation of the student. Knowing about this problem, it is necessary to observe and qualify the usage of this kind of tool and then observe how the scientific and technological literacy is presented in the formation of the users. For that, a formulary was distributed to observe how people asked the questions to the tool, and then analyzes, based on scientific and technological literacy, which fundamentals are presented when people use this kind of tool. 35 answers were obtained, and the analysis of the answers was based on a categorization method. In the answers obtained from the formulary, it was possible to observe important aspects of the scientific and technological literacy defended by Fourez, such as the good use of specialists, the opening of black boxes, the use of simple models, the good use of translations, the use of interdisciplinary knowledge, and the good articulation between knowings.

With the advancement of production technologies and materials, it is currently possible to use Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, for the large-scale production of finished products, with numerous advantages, such as a high level of customization, simplification of factory floor and fast delivery. Production sequencing, known as Scheduling, is a well-established topic in his research area, but its application within an AM environment faces specific issues that have yet to be explored by researchers. The present study carries out a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on the subject, in order to identify the main mathematical models, algorithms adopted for their solution and the main characteristics of the computational experiments carried out. The considered environment was mathematically modeled and, subsequently, a constructive heuristic solution multi-start based on the GRASP algorithm (Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure) was implemented in order to solve this problem. From generated instances, its performance was evaluated through computational experiments. The results showed that the proposed heuristic managed to obtain good results in very little computational time, in addition to achieving a low gap dispersion, indicating a high repeatability of the implemented heuristic.

Carboxytherapy is an invasive nonsurgical technique with broad applicability for different esthetic functions, especially cellulite. Pain is the main limiting factor for its use. Electrophysical resources such as electroanalgesia and vibratory devices have been attracting attention, effectively controlling acute pain associated with injectables. Thus, it is important to investigate the effects of these therapeutic techniques on carboxytherapy pain management. To that end, 2 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were conducted. The first investigated the effects of low and high-frequency currents on carboxytherapy pain in women with cellulite. Another objective was to assess sensory comfort at the different currents. The study involved 75 women with moderate and/or severe cellulite in the gluteal region. The subjects were randomized into 3 groups: TENS (n=25), interferential current (n=25) and Aussie current (n=25), and underwent 3 carboxytherapy sessions associated with the electric current. Outcomes: pain intensity and sensory comfort. There was no significant intergroup difference for pain intensity or sensory comfort in the three sessions (p > 0.05 and p = 0.502, respectively). The second test investigated the analgesic effect of two vibratory devices associated with carboxytherapy in women with cellulite. A total of 78 women with moderate and/or severe cellulite in the gluteal region were randomized into 3 groups: VD1 (Carboxytherapy and vibratory device 1), VD2 (Carboxytherapy and vibratory device 2) and Control Group (Carboxytherapy). Outcome: pain intensity. Assessments were carried out in a single treatment session. No significant difference was found for pain intensity between the devices and the control group: VD1 (4.95 ± 2.35), VD2 (4.90 ± 2.22) and Control (4.97 ± 2.43) (p =.997). The vibratory devices did not reduce pain intensity during carboxytherapy in women with cellulite in the gluteal region.

Rural schools have a fundamental role, which goes beyond the act of educating, is an educational modality that aims at the social and political transformation of the subjects and the various dimensions of individuals. In this perspective, science education is one of the responsible for the transformation of students into more critical citizens and capable of becoming agents of transformation of the world in which they live. Thus, this research, which has a qualitative character, sought to identify aspects of everyday peasant life that can contribute to the teaching of science. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five family members of students from the field school, as well as observations, with a field diary. In this context, the participants of the research present the ideal school, which here we call dream school, and according to them this school constitutes as one of the fundamental tools for the continuity of rural settlements, family farming and aspects that involve life in the countryside. In addition, the data presented show the possibility of dialogue between family farming and science teaching, which is based on the social reality of students and the community, which is essential for the subjects to transform their social reality. In this sense, from the voices that have long been silenced, there are possibilities that can contribute in various aspects to this school and the return of their activities, approach to life in the field and the Operational Guidelines for Basic Education in the field.

Introduction: The containment required in the COVID-19 pandemic, especially of the older population, was necessary to contain the spread of the disease. However, this situation brought with it some negative aspects in physical capacity and mental health, which, may be associated with the perception of health. Objective: To evaluate the subjective perception of health and physical capacity of older adults who practiced supervised and group physical exercise in the pre-COVID19 pandemic period. Method: This is a longitudinal retrospective analysis, in which older adults duly enrolled in a UFSCar extension project were invited to participate. Physical capacity assessment (Timed Up and Go, handgrip strength, 30-second sit-to-stand test and single-leg support) took place in March 2020 and as soon as the program's on-site activities were resumed in February 2022. Mental health (Perceived Stress Scale - PSS-10 and Geriatric Depression Scale - GDS) was assessed only in February 2022. In the statistical analysis, the Paired t-test and the Wilcoxon test were applied to analyze the results of physical capacity. The Pearson or Spearman test was used to analyze the correlation between mental health aspects and health perception. Results: Fifty-seven older adults participated in the research, the majority being women (78.6%) with an average age of 73.88 years. Most of them had a good or very good health perception, both in 2020 (91.23%) and in 2022 (78.95%) and 85.72% of them self-evaluated their health as good or very good when compared to other ones in the same age group. The subjective perception of physical capacity, however, had a high percentage of reference for worsening muscle strength (48.21%) and balance (42.86%). It was observed, after two years of confinement, a worsening in the physical tests, except in the handgrip strength test and in the unipodal support with the left leg. In mental health, most older adults did not show symptoms of depression (89.3%) or perceived stress (76.4%) in 2022. Finally, it was noted that the worst results related to mental health was not associated with perceived health after a period without supervised physical exercise. Conclusion: The confinement caused by the pandemic led to a deterioration in the physical capacity of the older adults, except in the handgrip strength test and single leg support with the left leg. In addition, it was observed that a large proportion of these older adults had a good global perception of health, but the subjective perception of physical capacities had a high reference percentage for worsening after the period without performing supervised and group physical exercises. Finally, mental health was not correlated with a worse subjective perception of the physical capacity of the older adults.

Research in the area of argumentation, inherent to human beings and essential for both spoken and written communication, dates back to the 4th century BC. The argument is multidisciplinary and covers several fields of research, including computer science. Communication has evolved to social networks, which are a considerable source of argumentative texts in various domains, such as politics. The automatic evaluation of arguments is the subject of recent studies in the area of Natural Language Processing and computational models that seek to perform this task are being proposed, especially based on algorithms based on Support Vector Machines and Deep Learning. In parallel, corpus of argumentative texts in English are being produced. As a way of contributing to research related to the assessment of the quality of argumentation in Portuguese, this work aims to propose, implement and validate a computational approach, for the automatic assessment of the quality of argumentation in the rhetorical dimension in tweets related to Brazilian politics. The approach involves developing a computational model, an annotated corpus with policy-related messages, and task-specific annotation guidelines. The studies carried out here showed that the most appropriate way to assess the quality of arguments in tweets related to Brazilian politics was using a neural model generated from the fine-tuning of BERTimbau. The proposed model was able to predict with 100% accuracy instances of the High quality argumentation class.

The current scenario of demand for water for supply reinforces the imminent need for responsible management of water resources, aiming at adequate treatment and efficient availability for quality distribution to the population and other activities that demand the resource in society. The conservation of water resources presupposes an analysis of the interaction and functional unity between the water element and the other elements of the landscape, such as vegetation and soil, as well as an integrated analysis of the spatial dynamics of vegetation cover and land uses. This work aims to establish an environmental diagnosis based on the elaboration of a synthesis map of criticality of Capela do Alto/SP. The Ponderative Boolean Method technique was used, based on the analysis of the landscape in the APPs in each sub-basin of the municipality, in order to evaluate the priority areas for forest recovery as a conservationist measure of water resources. The analysis of land uses showed that the municipality has 1/3 of its territory with a predominance of the clean field classification (39%), followed by the forest classification (20%) and exposed soil (14%). The land uses in the hydrographic APP delimitation show predominance of forest (41%) and clean field (34%). The diagnosis of environmental fragility was based on the correlation of four analysis factors: vegetation cover and land use, hydrographic APP zoning, slope models and soil types, observing that 80% of all 10 sub-basins have at least more than 50% of its delimited area classified as high and very high environmental fragility in relation to the conservationist potential of water resources. Data validation shows that the groups of sub-basins represent different sets among themselves and, therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the priority areas based on the integrated correlation of factors (physical, social, economic and environmental), as well as being valid for a decision making as separate units.

This research aims to analyze the relationship between historical Syrian migration and the arrival of Syrian refugee families to Itapira, a city in the countryside of São Paulo, in order to understand the similarities and continuities in the migrant experience of a Syrian extended family that in 1945 had a relative who came to live in the country. After her, due to the impacts of the Syrian war, her brother and nephews came to take refuge in this same city, starting in 2011, and were also supported by her. Using ethnographic observation, statistical data and bibliographic references from Anthropology, Sociology, History and Demography on international migration and refuge in the state of São Paulo and Brazil, between 1880 and 2016, it was verified, from the trajectories of the interlocutors participating in the research, that the similarities and continuities in the integration process of refugee families are similar to those experienced by the aunt. In general, they are related to the difficulty of communication due to the language, the prejudiced view that the receiving society had towards them, but also the opportunities to live and have a dignified life in foreign territory after years established in Brazil. In addition, it also shows that migratory categories homogenize and frame refugees in a process that removes their identity, peculiarities and diverse possibilities and modes of existence that cooperate with the processes of invisibilization for the maintenance of social vulnerability and withdrawal of rights. In addition to adaptation, the trajectory of religious and conflict refugees is marked by memories of the violence they have suffered and in a way keeps them connected, or not, with their homeland.

Introduction: lay people facing and Extra-Hospital Cardiorespiratory Arrest may panic and discredit themselves, delaying care for the victim. Therefore, a simulated and repetitive training experience, during which the apprentice can practice his skills without causing harm to the victim, can be na opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills. Objective: To evaluate the influence of training using Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice in university students facing a situation of Cardiorespiratory Arrest and performing Basic Life Support with the use of the Automated External Defibrillator. Methodology: Cross-sectional and quasi-experimental study of the type before and after a single group intervention, developed at the Health Simulation Unit of the Federal University of São Carlos, with a sample composed of 29 lay undergraduate students in the subject of the study. Data collection took place from August to December 2022, after approval of the research by the Human Research Ethics Committee under number CAAE: 50590821.0.0000.5504. Theoretical training and simulated training were carried out with the use of Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice for teaching Basic Life Support and the use of Automated External Defibrillator. Knowledge was evaluated pre and post training through the instrument built with theoretical concepts on the subject, technical performance and practical performance through the evaluation guide in Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice and, finally, self-confidence, pre and post training through the Self-Confidence Scale for intervention in emergencies. Descriptive analyzes were performed for each item, the other statistical analyzes were performed using Poisson regression models, ANOVA models and linear regression models. Results: The profileof the participants was: female (75.86%), between 21 and 22 years old (34.47%), the majority (79.31%) belonging to courses in the health area and 6 (20, 69%) reported having the habit of accessing materials related to the theme. As for the knowledge and self-confidence test, in general, there was an improvement in the scores on all items in the post-test. Regarding the performance of the participants, when comparing the times between the groups, those participants who acted first in the scene obtained significantly greater times in stage 1 and 3, while in relation to the number of repetitions, only in stage 3 there was relevance in the comparison between groups, with two more repetitions in the “not first of the day” group. Conclusion: There was a significant increase in knowledge and self-confidence after training with the use of Deliberate Practice in Rapid Cycles. As for performance, the participants' total performance time was greater in stage 2 and 3, which may be related to the greater complexity of the scenes; while the need for the number of repetitions in the three seasons was similar. The academic area and access to education influenced the time of work in this sample; and the relationship between being the first of the day or not during the performance, impacted the number of repetitions and the total time of stage 2.

Water has a direct influence on health, quality of life and human development. Most of the infectious disease burden in developing countries refer to water contamination by pathogenic microorganisms, emphasizing the importance of proper treatment, even in point-of-use solutions. Ultraviolet C radiation (UV-C) as a germicide has been studied since the beginning of the 20th century. Microorganism inactivation by UV-C is caused by alterations in DNA that lead to the formation of the pyrimidine dimer. In this study, the performance of a UV-C reactor coupled to a storage tank was evaluated, aiming to disinfect water artificially seeded with Escherichia coli. The prototype consisted of a closed-circuit system, with continuous flow, able to operate with different storage volumes. In the system, water circulates by mechanic agitation impelled by two peristaltic pumps. The UV-C irradiation source was based on 6 units of 30 W germicide lamps. In this study, operation was investigated in different volumes (1, 2, 5, and 15 L), under constant flow rate of 1 L/min of fluid exposure to light, for 60 min maximum. Finally, an analysis was carried out considering the empirical relationships found, to allow extrapolate results aiming to determine the required time to remove a given concentration of E. coli in different volumes of water. The effect of germicidal lamps on microbial inactivation showed that there is a bacterial reduction in different volumes, since in the experiments carried out the initial concentration of E. coli in logarithmic scale in volumes 1, 2, 5 and 15 L were 7.13, 5.74 , 6.10 and 5.78 log CFU/mL, respectively. The analysis shows us that in volumes 1, 2, 5 and 15 L there was a reduction in E. coli survival of 6.24, 4.03, 2.78 and 1.64 log CFU/mL, respectively.

There are several actions in which we strive to make cities viable and sustainable, pursuing to be an alternative to the actual problems in the daily life of urbanization. In this dissertation, one of these alternatives is presented, urban agriculture (UA), which aggregates diversified practices aimed at self-consumption and/or sale to urban local markets. It occurs in distinct areas, in terms of size, location and land ownership, whether public or private. This paper focuses on pointing out that UA practices happen informally, spontaneously and in different localities. UA techniques such as soil management, vegetable and animal farming which have been incorporated into the concept are not new in the urban environment, but in the academic and institutional environment this subject is a novelty. Thereby, the objective of this work is: To analyze how the Agroforestry System Odara becomes a mechanism for the development of ecological subjects through the transformation of urban space. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews carried out with the Odara Group, residents at the surroundings of the Odara AFS and, the public power of the municipality of Itapetininga. With this dissertation, it is concluded that urban agriculture plays an important role in shaping an ecological subject, contributing to awareness and social transformation regarding environmental issues.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of using treated domestic sewage from the Sewage Treatment Station (ETE) at CCA/UFSCar – Araras as an alternative source to commercial nutrient solutions in the cultivation of anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum cv. Sumi), using 3 treatments (TA: drinking water + mineral fertilizers; TR: reuse water; TRA: reuse water + supplementation with mineral fertilizers), through the collection of data on the total chlorophyll index and biometric measurements, namely stem size, of the largest leaf, spadix, spathe length, plant height, number of flowers and leaves. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with four replications, and the data were submitted to analysis of variance, and determined by the F test, the means were compared by the Tukey test. The use of reuse water (RT) showed lower values in the total chlorophyll index, and its biometric measurements were lower when compared to the other treatments. The TRA treatment did not present a significant difference in the biometric measurements, when compared with the TA treatment, but it presented a lower chlorophyll index when compared to the same. In this way, the use of reuse water complemented with mineral fertilizers can be a viable alternative option for the cultivation of anthurium.

In this work, we investigate the existence of positive stationary solutions of the Kirchhoff equations in a limited domain, an inhomogeneous spatial coefficient and a function of first order terms with growth up to the natural. Unlike the coercive cases where the operator has a suitable lower-order term or a Dirichlet boundary condition, in the case of a refreshing Neumann boundary condition, a lack of coercivity in the Kirchhoff term occurs. In this last scenario, we prove an existence result that plays the role of a sub-supersolution principle for positive solutions of. As an application, examples are provided that show the existence of positive stationary solutions satisfying the Neumann boundary condition. To overcome the lack of coercivity we combine monotonicity and truncation techniques, with the theory of elliptic regularity, in order to construct parametric approximate problems that are coercive, and whose solutions converge, as the parameter tends to zero, to a solution.

The teacher is a fundamental figure in the learning process of social skills in the School context, in articulation with academic learning. This articulation involves teaching strategies that require, in addition to mastering the academic content, a good repertoire of social educational skills from the teacher and their continued training in this direction. For this, guidance and support through specialized advisory is essential. The present study focuses on the final stage (module 4) of a process of continuing education for teachers, whose objective was the construction, implementation and evaluation of virtual advisory for teachers to promote socioemotional development at school. To this end, module 4 included making resources and guidance sheets available in a virtual environment and advising teachers to develop, apply and evaluate a social skills program with their class of students. This thesis is composed of three chapters. Chapter I describes the process of analyzing materials and preparing guidance sheets for Elementary School teachers to promote socio-emotional development in the classroom, as well as evaluating the acceptability and feasibility of using these sheets from the teachers' perspective. Sixty-nine resources were selected and guidance sheets were created to be used by the teachers participating in module 4. Based on the data, the acceptability and positive evaluation of the teachers regarding the application of the resources with the students was noted. In Chapter II, the process and results of the virtual assistance offered to three Elementary School teachers are evaluated. The results, analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively, showed effectiveness, acceptability and viability of the online advisory process in the performance of teachers and promotion of students' socio-emotional development. Finally, Chapter III aimed to evaluate the impact of this program, guided by the advisory process, on: (a) the repertoire of social skills and (b) academic performance of students and (c) on the HSE of the three teacher’s participants. Tools from the virtual environment were used to provide resources and guidance sheets, record teaching plans and application reports, as well as self-assessment by teachers and assessment by the advisory staff. Students' assessment instruments were also applied in relation to the HS repertoire, behavior problems and academic competence. In general, positive changes were identified in the social and academic performance of the students and the social educational skills of the teachers. Furthermore, the participants made positive evaluations of the program. The set of studies suggests the viability of continuing education for teachers in social skills and social educational skills, with specialized support, in the EaD format. Positive aspects of the work, social and scientific contributions, as well as limitations and aspects to be improved are discussed
