Emigracija iš Lietuvos neigiamai veikia ne tik šalies socialinę ir ūkio raidą, švietimo, darbo, sveikatos apsaugos ir kitų sričių padėtį, bet ir daro ypatingą žalą šeimoms bei vaikams, kurie dėl šių priežasčių gyvena atskirai. Vaikas turi teisę žinoti savo tėvus, būti auklėjamas ir aprūpinamas savo tėvų, bendrauti su jais. Tėvų emigracija yra didelis smūgis vaikui, perimant šeimos tradicijas, vertybes bei formuojant savo identitetą – savąjį Aš. Netekęs vieno iš tėvų vaikas netenka ir identifikacijos. Magistro darbe kokybinės ir kiekybinės duomenų analizės pagrindu bandoma išryškinti šias tendencijas: a) būdingesnius emigraciją patyrusių vaikų socializacijos ypatumus jų elgesio lygmeniu, išreiškiančiu internalizuotų vertybių pobūdį; b) egzistuojančius ryškesnius elgesio skirtumus tarp tokių vaikų ir šios patirties neturinčių bendraamžių elgesio; c) galimus veiksnius, turinčius vienokios ar kitokios įtakos emigraciją patyrusių vaikų globos, priežiūros ir jų teisių apsaugos efektyvinimui. Nustatyta, kad emigraciją patyrusių vaikų elgesys kai kuriais internalizuotų vertybių atvejais (atvirumo, savitvardos bei solidarumo) statistiškai reikšmingai skiriasi nuo pilnose šeimose augančių vienmečių elgesio, kurie savo elgesiu daugiau išreiškia atvirumo, tikėjimo kitais ir savimi, jautrumo bei pagarbos vertybes. Taip pat rasta, kad emigraciją patyrę vaikai kiek nepalankiau vertina savo namus, tėvus ir vertina pačią emigraciją nei šios netekties nepatyrę jų bendraamžiai. Ekspertų...

However, the condition of education, employment, health care, and other spheres are affected as well, especially having in mind families and children, who live separately because of emigration causes. Child has a right to know his/her parents, to be educated and nourished by the members of family, and also to communicate with parents. One of the parents emigration is quite an impact for a child, who puts much effort while internalizing family’s traditions, values, and forming self identity, i.e. self I. By loosing one of the parents, child loses his/her identity. Thus in this Master research project, taking in account both quantitative and qualitative methods (based on triangulation principle), such issues were taken to solve: a) children, who have experienced parents’ emigration, socialization peculiarities based on their behavior level that expresses internalized values; b) existing differences of such children – both experienced and non-experienced parents’ emigration – behavior; c) possible factors that may have an influence for the effectiveness of those children care, guardianship, and their rights protection. It was set that children, who have experienced parents’ emigration, behavior in some cases statistically meaningful differ from those who do not have such an experience, e.g. having in mind such values as openness, self-control, and solidarity.

SANTRAUKA Darbe atlikta analizė padėjo atskleisti pedagogo kompetencijas tenkinant mokinių specialiuosius ugdymo(si) poreikius. Iškelta hipotezė, kad kolegijos studentai nėra pakankamai pasirengę tenkinti mokinių specialiuosius ugdymo(si) poreikius. Apklausos raštu metodu nustatytas ir įvertintas kolegijos studentų pasirengimas tenkinti mokinių specialiuosius ugdymo(si) poreikius. Tyrimo duomenų statistinė analizė atlikta taikant Mann‘o ir Whitney testą, Stjudento kriterijus. Empirinėje dalyje lyginami studentų ir mokytojų apklausos duomenys, siekiant sužinoti, kaip jie vertina studentų pa(si)rengimą tenkinti mokinių specialiuosius ugdymo(si) poreikius, kokius jų gebėjimus reikėtų tobulinti. Tyrimu nustatyta, kad kolegijų realizuojamose pradinio ugdymo ir užsienio kalbų pedagogikos studijų programų bendrųjų dalykų (pedagogikos, psichologijos) moduliuose akcentuojami profesiniai gebėjimai išmanyti individualiuosius vaiko ugdymo(si) poreikius bei ugdymo specifiką, pritaikyti mokymo(si) turinį, taikant modifikuotos ir adaptuotos programos sudarymo principus, bendradarbiauti su ugdymo proceso dalyviais, tačiau pasigendama bendravimo su SUP turinčiais tėvais. Pradinio ugdymo pedagogikos studijų programos dalykų didaktikos moduliuose labiau, nei užsienio kalbų, akcentuojami gebėjimai keisti arba pritaikyti bendrąsias programas pagal mokinių poreikius, taikyti alternatyvius mokymo metodus. Studentų apklausa parodė žemą jų informuotumo lygį apie dažniausiai pasitaikančius mokymosi...

Die Aktualität des Themas von meiner Magisterarbeit „Einfluss der Naturbeobachtungen auf die Erweiterung der Kenntnisse der Schüler in der Grundschule“ besteht darin, das die Aufmerksamkeit auf die naturwissenschaftliche Bildung in der Schule sowohl in allen Ländern Europas als auch in Litauen wächst. Die naturwissenschaftliche Bildung ist in allen Altersstufen wichtig. Die meisten Forschungsergebnisse zeugen davon, dass die naturwissenschaftliche Bildung in der Grundschule notwendig, kompliziert und am wichtigsten ist. Deshalb sollte die Schule die Schüler in der Liebe und in der Achtung vor der Natur erziehen, weil der Mensch eigentlich verstehen soll, dass er als Naturkönig nicht werden kann. In dieser Arbeit versuchte ich zu zeigen, wie die naturwissenschaftliche Bildung in der Grundschule durchgeführt wird, welche Materialien die Lehrer dabei benutzen. Die Neuheit von diesem Thema besteht darin, dass die Lehrer zu wenig methodische Literatur für dieses neue Programm haben. Das Hauptziel der Forschung ist festzustellen, wie die Naturbeobachtungen die Naturkenntnisse der Schüler in der Grundschule beeinflussen. Der Forschungsgegenstand ist die Naturbeobachtung der Schüler der 1.– 4. Klasse im Unterricht der Weltkenntnis. Die Aufgaben der Arbeit sind: pädagogische, psychologische und methodische Literatur zu diesem Thema zu analysieren; den Platz der Naturbeobachtung in der Grundschule in Litauen in den Jahren zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Weltkrieg zu analysieren; ...

A great attention is allways paid to the upbringing of a child’s individuality, new modern methods are used. However, other activities influence the development of a child as well. One of them is mass media. According to the facts of the research, the analysis and comparison have been done to find out that similiarities and differences are among the children who are restricted to watch television programmes and those who are not. Law standards and statue regulate the activity of mass media very little. Both television and the press often avoid the protection of a child’s rights and interests garanteed by the State. The main selection criterion for presenting mass media to the society is often not the urgency and importance of the news, but the commercial factor. Parents’ surveys about the influence of mass media are often carried out and they show that the majority of... [to full text]

It is obvious that great socio – economic inequality in our society keeps growing up. Unemployment makes the daily life rather difficult for many people who are forced to receive smaller income, change their life regulations and rhythm as well as to experience psychological tenseness and lack of confidence in their future. Their socio – economical activities decline thus causing their social loneliness that contradicts to human social development. The problems of unemployment influence both jobless people and their families. The aim of the surwey is to evaluate the peculiarities of the institutional education of a child who is brought up in socio – cultural backgrounds of poverty. 402 children from different towns and villages of Lithuania participated in the surwey, 90 of them were from poor socio – cultural environment.

However, the institutional... [to full text]
