House`s problems, school`s problems

In the paper "Attention and concentration in public schools and private schools", Marta Manterola presents the differences between students from public schools with a bad social and economic situation, and students from private schools with a good social and economic situation. For this, the author use the Stroop`test to measure the attention and the concentration in all this students, and try to find problems in the quality of life of the children like students. The research found difference between the factors that the investigator tried to measure, and marta Manterola explained them like students`s problems at home. These problems could be the guilty of the low score in the Stroop`s test of the students from public schools.

The learning by discovery

One of the most important theories about education and development of the human being are the Jeronime Bruner`s theories. Bruner is a cognitive psychologist and he says that the person was an active subjet in the organitation and the interaction with the reality. Also, he says that the human being`s development can be understood by his culture and his especie`s history, not with the genetics or the chromosomes. He saiys that the development of the thought always is helped by the outside, and for that reason the education and school is so important in the integration of the boy in the society. Because the child is constructing the reality in the interaction with his classmates. It`s very interesting, because the clasroom is like a little society, and the child is an active constructor of the reality that he lives.

kenpo`s tournament

Hi everyone!
The last saturday I competed in a Karate`s tournament, It was so funny and interesting because there was to many people of differents schools with to much experience. By the way, I won the form`s competition and I got the third place in combat. But the best thing of all was the visit of a great master from United States, Mister Kelly. He studied with the Great Master Ed Parker, the "Father of the american karate". I love Kenpo Karate, because the marcial arts are good for relaxation, to make some new friends and to be a better person in the daily life.

psychology on line!!

Hi every one!
I bring to you two excellents websites of psychology and It could be interesting if you visit them, because It`s very important for our formation like psychologist.

The first one is the APA website( American Psychology Association); this website is the official website of APA, who is the most important referring of the last discoveries in psychology. Most of the works is in English, so you have to know how to read and write English, so take attention in classes because like psychologist, you will have to visit it regularly.

The second one is a Piaget`s website, who is the most interesting scientist in the psychology`s history, specially in cognitive neuroscience. But Piaget wasn`t psychologist, he was a biologist and a sciences`s philosopher, but many of their theories are used in education and psychology too.
