ABSTRACT
This study aimed to present the method of the multi-center program of cognitive stimulation and rehabilitation known as "Oficina da Lembrança" (Memory Workshop), held at the University of Southern Santa Catarina, Federal University of Santa Catarina and Federal University of São Paulo. This project has assisted about 450 people aged 50 or older with memory complaints. Each session consists of one to three meetings/week (approximately 20 meetings/semester), with groups of 10 to 20 participants to carry out activities on computers, physical activity and individual oral reports of the experiences they had at the meetings (approximately 90 minutes). In the first and final six-monthly meeting, sociodemographic, health and behavioral variables, cognitive performance, functional disability and presence of depressive symptoms are collected. The project was implemented in 2006 and it is expected to continue. Programs like this are extremely important in society because they can provide benefits to the population, especially in terms of helping cognitive improvement, thus promoting health and socialization.
Este estudo objetivou apresentar o método do programa multicêntrico de estimulação e reabilitação cognitiva "Oficina da Lembrança", em execução na Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina e Universidade Federal de São Paulo. O projeto já atendeu aproximadamente 450 pessoas com 50 anos ou mais de idade com queixas de memória. Cada sessão é composta de um a três encontros/semana (aproximadamente 20 encontros/semestre), com grupos de 10 a 20 participantes que realizam atividades em computadores, atividades físicas e relatos individuais orais sobre as experiências do encontro (aproximadamente 90 minutos). No primeiro e último encontro semestral são coletadas variáveis sociodemográficas, de saúde e comportamentais, desempenho cognitivo, capacidade funcional e presença de sintomas depressivos. O projeto foi implementado em 2006 e tem perspectiva de continuidade. Programas como este são extremamente importantes na sociedade, pois podem proporcionar benefícios à população, principalmente auxiliar na melhora cognitiva, promovendo saúde e sociabilização.

Mediante una encuesta se estudió la relación entre cinco tipos de creencias docentes -constructivismo, creencias en la efectividad de la tecnologías en educación, autoeficacia docente, autoeficacia computacional y autoeficacia de enseñanza con computadores- y la frecuencia y tipos de uso de computadores de 112 profesores de cinco establecimientos chilenos que brindan educación básica y media. Usando análisis de correlación, se obtuvo que la autoeficacia computacional, la autoeficacia de enseñanza con computadores y las creencias en la efectividad de la tecnología, presentan mayor efecto en el uso de computadores que la autoeficacia docente y el constructivismo.
This study explore the relation between five types of teacher's beliefs -constructivism, teacher self-efficacy, computer self-efficacy, self-efficacy for teaching with computers and beliefs about technology's effectiveness on education - and the frequency and variety of use for computer's instructional purposes. A questionnaire was completed by 112 teachers from five Chilean schools. Using correlation analysis, it was found that computer self-efficacy, self-efficacy for teaching with computers and beliefs about technology's effectiveness on education show greater effects on frequency and variety of use of technologies for instructional purposes over teacher self-efficacy, and constructivism.
