Das Ziel meiner Magisterarbeit ist die Erscheinung des Selbstmords unter sozial – pädagogischem Aspekt zu ermitteln und die Ansichten der Pädagogen über diese Erscheinung zu erforschen. Außerdem setze ich mir zum Ziel zu erforschen, invieweit die Pädagogen vorbereitet sind, Präventivmaßnahmen zu ergreifen. Die Hypothese der Untersuchung: 1. Die Pädagogen sind bereit, präventive Maßnahmen gegen Selbstmord zu ergreifen. Aber es fehlt ihnen an Information über die Besonderheiten des Selbstmords und über die Möglichkeiten der Präventivmaßnahmen. Selbstmord ist eine komplizierte Erscheinung, die in verschiedenen Kulturen, Epochen und bei den Menschen von unterschiedlichen Rassen vorkommt. Diese Erscheinung widerspiegelt sich in zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen und im seelischen Leben des Menschen. Sie ist als Kraft, die zu einer bestimmten Tat führt, sie ist als eine bestimmte Form des Protests. Selbstmord kann als Disharmonie der inneren Welt erscheinen, die im Augenblick der menschlichen Unsicherheit auf den Tod des Menschen verlangt. Selbstmord kann auch als das Ergebnis der schweren psychischen Krankheit vorkommen. Am häufigsten ist Selbstmord das Ergebnis des langen Prozesses, der manchmal auch das ganze Leben hindurch dauert. Die Aktualität dieses Problems ist auch in Litauen von besonderer Wichtigkeit. Das bestätigt die Statistik, die davon zeugt, dass jedes Jahr in Litauen etwa 1700 Menschen Selbstmord begehen. Noch mehr, 17000 Menschen versuchen es jedes Jahr, sich... [to full text]

Violence in sport happening during sporting fight as well as out of play, is becoming a serious social problem, most often sporting activity is criticised exactly through the excessive manifestation of aggression.

Having analysed manifestation of aggression in the aspect of sex, it was found that women are eager to express hostile aggression more than men. Summarising manifestation of aggression in the aspect of performance, the form of instrumental aggression is more expressed in high peak performance women handball players, and a feature of jealousy and tendency to hostile aggression is more peculiar to low peak performance women. Upon establishing coherence of various aggression forms among high peak performance handball players, it was founded that with increasing possibility of manifestation of instrumental aggression, a possibility of verbal aggression was also increasing. Instrumental aggression of low peak performance handball players – both men and women - is more related to defensive aggression.

When looking into pedagogic process which is based on teaching and learning, it is not difficult to perceive that some children understand and master new material quickly while the others lag behind them. The latter need additional explanation of new things, repetition in order to absorb and memorize them. It is no secret that a teaching paradigm for a behindhand child deprives the teacher of the possibility to give more attention to a child having learning abilities. As far as I have noticed, the conception of a child having learning abilities which has recently appeared in psychological and pedagogic literature has not been explicated and given reasoned explanation yet. Everything is presented on the level of definitions and conceptions. This concept is even less used in education reality. Thus a student who is eager to learn, learns much, has a learning strategy of his/her own and always achieves good results is considered a child having learning abilities. No research which would help to solve problems how to teach children having learning abilities in primary classes has been done in Lithuania so far. The tendency to carry out researches on gifted children still prevails. But the number of students having learning abilities is not large. Thus when we speak about teaching students who have learning abilities, we speak about teaching a minority distinguished according to the level of intellectual powers. Children having learning abilities constitute a comparatively small... [to full text]
