Gabriela Čanigová Teaching focused on the development of foreigners` language skills - benefits and disadvantages at work with class in Science in 2nd grade ABSTRACT The work will deal with the development of language skills of pupils with different mother tongue and evaluation of the possible benefits of including such focused activities in teaching the whole class. As many research surveys show, weakened language skills in the mother tongue are not only for pupils with a different mother tongue. Adjusting teaching to pupils with different foreigners language could enrich other pupils as well. On the other hand, it is possible that these activities will be too simple for most pupils, which could lead to a loss of interest. Another possible risk appears to be time consuming, which could lead to the need to reduce the scope and possibly the content of education. The research will be carried out in two research groups in the form of experimental teaching of selected topics of the subject Prvouka. In the experimental group the teaching (explanation, work with text, etc.) will be adapted to the language skills of pupils with different foreigners language. Such oriented education will emphasize an increased level of graphic visualization of the content of teaching and creation of space for communication and...

Syftet med studien är att öka kunskapen om ett pedagogiskt stöd till medarbetarna kan främja jämställdhetsintegreringen på arbetsmarknaden genom en utvecklingsinriktad förändringsprocess. Kognitiv teori har använts som utgångspunkt med en socialkonstruktivistisk tyngd. Datainsamlingen har skett genom en kvantitativ metod där en enkätundersökning gjordes med ett obundet slumpmässigt urval. Enkäten delades ut via sociala media på Facebook och Instagram. Det var 49 respondenter som deltog varav 40 kvinnor och 9 män. Resultatet visade att kvinnor i större utsträckning upplever mer ojämställdhet och diskriminering. De anser att mer information, utbildning och stöd i från både myndigheter och arbetsgivare i kombination med strängare straff kan främja jämställdhetsintegreringen. Män anser att ökad information, utbildning, stöd från myndigheter och arbetsgivare är tillräckliga åtgärder för jämställdhetsintegreringen. Stor del av respondenterna upplevde att en ökad jämställdhet på arbetsmarknaden skulle även minska ojämställdhet och diskriminering i samhället. Avsaknad av tidigare forskning på det specifika området av ett pedagogiskt stöd i jämställdhetsintegreringen gör att ytterligare forskning kan krävas för att styrka resultat och slutsats av denna studie. / <p>PE207G.

The purpose of this study was to assess school-based psycho-educational support to parents of children with learning impairments and how the parents' needs differ according to the age of the child, the severity of the learning impairment and the educational status of the parent. The study presents a literature review of the neuro-physiological origin of learning impairments, cognitive development, common problems experienced by children with learning impairments, the effects on the family of having a child with learning impairments and an overview of school support services in South Africa. A survey study was used. Data was collected by means of a questionnaire. The results of the study showed that parents need to be equipped with knowledge and skills irrespective of the age of the child, the severity of the learning impairment, the number of years the child has been in special school and the educational status of the parents. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.

There is a noticeable absence of studies reflecting the personal views and experiences of black British African Caribbean (BBAC) people as students and clinical participants in UK nursing careers. Previous research about their nursing career choices has always been reported as part of other mixed BME cohorts and migrant groups. Indications in the literature suggest that they were being actively discouraged by their families from choosing nursing as a career, because of their parents’ and grandparents’ negative experiences as migrant workers in the NHS, leading to very low or non-participation in the profession. This study set out to address this gap by giving them a distinct voice, independent of other cohorts. It explored the factors which influence their decision and their experiences, throughout a variety of life stages, from school through to university and into clinical practice. This was to identify whether the findings from earlier research are still relevant from their perspectives rather than that of their parents. Participants and schools in the study were recruited by purposive sampling, and data was collected in three phases, a pilot study phase, a survey phase and an interview phase. A quantitative and qualitative interpretive approach were adopted underpinned by a mixed methods design. Descriptive statistical analysis of the survey and qualitative content analysis (QCA) of the interview transcripts were utilised to enable interrogation of the data. Findings are discussed within the context of available empirical evidence, related policy perspectives and theoretical underpinnings. Four main themes emerged from the study, as specific influencing factors on their experiences. These are: careers advice and choice for nursing, support, discrimination/racism and personal resilience. The findings reveal that BBAC people receive little or no careers advice about nursing at any of their life stages. Consequently, they make uninformed decisions about modern nursing careers, leaving a gap in their knowledge. However, they are not discouraged from choosing nursing as a career, by their families. When they choose a nursing career, they are fully supported and encouraged by their parents and families, in order to survive as students and clinical practitioners. However, institutional support as students and practitioners is weak and very poor. Despite this, they do not intend to actively discourage their own children from making nursing a career choice. Racism, discrimination and racialisation remain core factors influencing their social, educational and other lived experiences, despite numerous equality legislation and implementation. These have a continuous negative impact on them as visible minority students and practitioners in the NHS. They respond to these negative experiences by developing personal resilience aided by strong social and cultural support provided by their families and community. These findings make a unique contribution to the knowledge base by giving BBAC participants their own distinct voice. This was achieved through listening to them at varied points in their life stages, from school through to university and as eventual professionals in nursing. This is important new knowledge, which has ensured a clear recognition of their personal perspectives, in their own voices. These insightful new observations are necessary to build a specific knowledge base about them and are very positive for future participation of BBAC people in nursing careers and the NHS. An adapted model for inclusive participation is proposed, based on the findings of the research.

Cette étude porte sur le rôle des attitudes et des comportements parentaux dans le processus de décrochage scolaire au travers de deux objectifs. Le premier consiste à vérifier le rôle médiateur des aspirations scolaires de l’adolescent sur le lien entre les aspirations scolaires parentales pour leur enfant et le décrochage scolaire. Le second objectif vise à valider le rôle protecteur du soutien scolaire parental vis-à-vis du décrochage lorsque les aspirations scolaires des parents pour leur adolescent sont peu élevées. Les résultats ont été obtenus à partir de données longitudinales recueillies auprès de 4630 élèves québécois de secondaire pendant cinq ans. Ils mettent en évidence par l’emploi de régressions logistiques que les aspirations scolaires de l’adolescent médiatisent partiellement le lien entre les aspirations scolaires des parents et le décrochage scolaire. Comme attendu, le nombre de décrocheurs s’avère moins important dans la situation où les parents aux aspirations scolaires peu élevées soutiennent scolairement leur enfant. En revanche, les résultats n’ont pas permis de démontrer statistiquement le rôle protecteur du soutien scolaire parental car, contre toute attente, le nombre de décrocheurs s’est avéré également plus important lorsque des parents aux aspirations scolaires élevées soutiennent scolairement leur enfant. Quelques hypothèses sont avancées pour expliquer ce résultat contre intuitif. Les conclusions de cette étude laissent penser qu’accompagner les parents et leur enfant sur le niveau de leurs aspirations scolaires, permettrait de réduire le risque de décrochage scolaire. Elles ouvrent également sur de nouvelles perspectives quant au rôle modérateur du style parental et des difficultés scolaires de l’adolescent sur l’influence du soutien scolaire parental dans le processus de décrochage scolaire. / This study focuses on the role of parental attitudes and behaviours in the process of school dropout through addressing two objectives. The first objective consists in verifying the mediator role of educational aspirations of the adolescent on the relationship between parental educational aspirations for their child and school dropout. The second objective aims at validating the protective role of parental support against school dropout when parental educational aspirations for their adolescent are low. The results were derived from data gathered annually among 4630 Quebec high school students from 7th to 11th grade. The results demonstrate through the use of logistic regressions that educational aspirations of the adolescent mediate partially the relationship between the parental educational aspirations and school dropout. As observed, dropout were less frequent when the parents with low educational aspirations supported their child in its education. Nonetheless the results could not prove the protective role of parental educational support. Indeed, the number of dropouts appeared surprisingly also higher when parents expressed high educational aspirations and high support. Several explanations are proposed to explain those results. This study suggests that working with both parents and their child on their educational aspirations may help decrease the risk of school dropout. They also bring new perspectives on the moderating role of parenting style and academic difficulties of the adolescent on the influence of parental educational support in the school dropout process.

The thesis is divided into the theoretical and the practical part. The theoretical part consists of three chapters, the first is devoted to familiarization with the problems of homelessness. I deal with the social aspects of this phenomenon, such as social exclusion and associated problems of social inclusion in the second chapter. The final chapter discusses the possibilities of assistance directed at homeless people. The practical part includes qualitative research where I try by means of ten case studies to bring the fate of homeless people who seek the services of institutions, where they can find qualified help in solving a wide range of problems that may be the cause of their present situation. By analyzing data, I try to figure out what is behind the possible success or failure of such persons in the pursuit of social inclusion.

Föreliggande studie syftar till att bidra med kunskapen om specialpedagogers yrkesidentitet i relation till särskilt stöd i matematik. Forskningsansatsen är kvalitativ och utgångspunkten för studien är sju intervjuer med yrkesverksamma specialpedagoger i den svenska grund- och gymnasieskolan. Specialpedagogernas beskrivningar har analyserats med hjälp av en diskursanalys och de teoretiska begreppen diskurs och positionering. Resultatet visar att tre diskurser, Specialpedagogik-diskurs, Matematik-diskurs och Frihets-diskurs, kan konstrueras utifrån specialpedagogernas utsagor. Studiens slutsats är att specialpedagogernas positionering är en komplex och föränderlig process och att de tre konstruerade diskurserna påverkar vilka positioner som tillgängliggörs och vilka positioner som specialpedagogerna tar och ges. Specialpedagogik-diskursen är den diskurs som utövar tydligast påverkan på specialpedagogernas positionering. Studien visar också att specialpedagogernas positionering kan påverka skolors arbete med särskilt stöd i matematik. Utifrån kunskaper om matematik, relationellt perspektiv och ett relationsskapande synsätt tar ofta specialpedagogerna en mer tillbakadragen position gentemot kollegorna i arbetet med särskilt stöd i matematik. Detta kan bidra till att skapa ett avstånd mellan ämnesinnehållet (matematiken) och det specialpedagogiska arbetet och dess innehåll. Avslutningsvis visar studien att specialpedagogerna kan spela en viktig roll i att överbrygga detta avstånd eftersom de på individ-, grupp- och organisationsnivå är en yrkesgrupp som kan påverka arbetet med särskilt stöd i matematik.

The thesis deals with the topic of education of pupils with hearing impairment and a different mother tongue. The first part of the thesis contains basic theoretical background. It describes the issue of hearing impairment, the comprehensive rehabilitation of people with hearing impairment including its individual components, schools educating pupils with hearing impairment and the individual communication approaches used in the education of these pupils. The possibilities of educating and supporting pupils with a different mother tongue and pupils who have a different mother tongue and a hearing impairment are outlined. The theoretical part focuses on the support that is provided to the families of such pupils and to the educational staff working in this area. The practical part aims to describe and analyse the education and other support that is provided to pupils with a hearing impairment and a different mother tongue educated in a primary school for pupils with a hearing impairment. A qualitative research design is chosen to achieve the main research aim. Based on this aim, the sub-objectives and the research questions arising from them are set out. Furthermore, the research methodology, research sample and research site are characterized, followed by a description of the research process....
