“O Conselho Federal de Psicologia – CFP oferece aos profissionais do Sistema Conselhos informações de natureza ética, teórica e metodológica sobre a avaliação psicológica, visando a aprimorar a qualidade dos serviços psicológicos oferecidos à sociedade brasileira. Essa demanda emergiu a partir dos fóruns de discussões sobre os métodos e, dentre eles, a definição de critérios mínimos para a validação dos testes psicológicos. Investimentos dessa envergadura se mostram eficazes, na medida em que oferecem um conjunto de informações norteadoras sobre os limites e as possibilidades dos métodos de avaliação psicológica empregados no Brasil, respaldados pela atual legislação que regulamenta a profissão de psicólogo neste país” (CFP, 2007, p. 6). O processo de avaliação psicológica apresenta alguns passos essenciais para que seja possível alcançar os resultados esperados, a saber:
I- Coleta de informações pelos meios escolhidos (entrevistas, dinâmicas, observações e testes projetivos e/ou psicométricos, etc.). É importante salientar que a integração dessas informações deve ser suficientemente ampla para dar conta dos objetivos pretendidos pelo processo de avaliação. Não é recomendada a utilização de uma só técnica ou um só instrumento para a avaliação. II- Levantamento dos objetivos da avaliação e particularidades do indivíduo ou grupo a ser avaliado. Tal processo permite a escolha dos instrumentos/estratégias mais adequados para a realização da avaliação psicológica. III- Indicação das respostas à situação que motivou o processo de avaliação e comunicação cuidadosa dos resultados, com atenção aos procedimentos éticos implícitos e considerando as eventuais limitações da avaliação. Nesse processo, os procedimentos variam de acordo com o contexto e propósito da avaliação. IV- Integração das informações e desenvolvimento das hipóteses iniciais. Diante delas, o psicólogo pode constatar a necessidade de utilizar outros instrumentos/estratégias de modo a refinar ou elaborar novas hipóteses.

Read the abstract below, analyze the following statements and identify the correct ones:
“This paper discusses some of the assumptions behind the use of the terms international, global, foreign, additional language and lingua franca when referring to English. Such terminology is approached from the angle of the pedagogical praxis surrounding teaching-learning English in Brazilian public schools (GIMENEZ, CALVO & EL KADRI, 2011), based on Derrida’s and Foucault’s thoughts on text and discourse, taken here as our focal point when analyzing such terminology for English language teaching. The connotations attributed to English are analyzed in their occurrence in language policy documents, international academic journals and abstracts of papers presented at a Brazilian teacher’s education conference; the uses of the terms are contrasted with English as a foreign language (EFL), as has been traditionally used in Brazil. KEYWORDS: foreign language, additional language, English, language concept, poststructuralism.” (JORDÃO, Clarissa Menezes. ILA – ILF – ILE – ILG: Quem dá conta? RBLA, v.14, n.1, p.13, 2014)

“Icebreakers are first-day activities that are meant to give students and the teacher an opportunity to get to know one another. They are helpful activities for taking a class full of strangers and turning them into friends (or at least acquaintances). However, icebreaker activities tend to be short and limited in the extent to which students can interact. How well can we really get to know someone during a 30-minute activity on the first day of class?”
