Vaikai – tai žmonijos ateitis, mūsų džiaugsmas ir pasididžiavimas. Atrodo, kad kiekvienam vaikelis turėtų būti didžiausiu turtu, laime ir paguoda. Deja, reali situacija kitokia. Vaikai dabar mušami, marinami badu, paliekami miške, šaltyje, imami įkaitais, išnaudojami seksualiai. Smurtas gali būti apgalvotas veiksmas norint išnaudoti ar nubausti arba tiesiog impulsyvi susierzinusio tėvo, mokytojo ar stipresnio vaiko reakcija. Bet kuriuo atveju toks smurtas prieš vaikus pažeidžia pagrindinius žmogaus teisių principus: pagarbą žmogaus orumui ir teisę į fizinį neliečiamumą. Vaiko teisių įgyvendinimo požiūriu ypač svarbus mokyklos vaidmuo. Mokykla daug gali prisidėti ne tik prie dorinio vaikų auklėjimo, jų elgesio humanizavimo, bet ir prie tėvų sąmoningumo ugdymo, nepakantos smurtui, nesmurtinių drausminimo būdų bei vaiko teisių propagavimo. Tačiau siekiant šių tikslų visų pirma būtina įdiegti vaiko teises pačiose mokyklose. Mokslinių tyrimų pagrindu galima teigti, jog Lietuvos mokyklose dar negarantuojama vaiko teisių apsauga. Taigi viena iš plintančių prievartos formų yra priekabiavimas. Priekabiavimas – tai problema, kuriai skiriamas ypatingas dėmesys visame pasaulyje ir tik pastaruoju metu pradedama nagrinėti moksliškai ir Lietuvoje. Šio magistrinio darbo tikslas – atskleisti vaikų tarpusavio priekabiavimo ypatumus mokykloje, išsiaiškinant mokyklos vadovo vaidmenį problemos sprendime. Uždaviniai : 1. apibūdinti priekabiavimą kaip reiškinį; 2. atskleisti pagrindines... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / Children are the future of the mankind, our delight and pride. It seems that every child should be the greatest treasure, happiness and comfort. However, the real situation is different. Children are being beaten, starved, left in the forest or cold, taken hostage or used sexually. Violence can be a deliberate action on purpose to use or punish, or simply an impulsive reaction of a parent, teacher or a stronger child. In any case, such violence against children violates the main principals of human rights: respect to human dignity and the right to physical immunity. From the point of view of the implementation of children rights, the role of the school is extremely important. The school can contribute a lot not only to the moral upbringing of children and humanization of their behaviour but also to the education of the consciousness of parents, intolerance to violence, nonviolent ways of discipline and the propagation of the protection of children rights. However, with a view to these aims, first of all it is essential to introduce the children rights into schools themselves. On the ground of scientific research it is possible to state that the protection of children rights is not guaranteed in Lithuanian schools. So, one of pervasive forms of violence is molestation. Molestation is the problem that receives special attention all around the world and only recently it has begun to be dealt with scientifically in Lithuania. The aim of this Master’s thesis is to reveal the... [to full text]

Kiekviena šalis susiduria su mokinių, nelankančių mokyklos arba iškritusių iš jos, problema. Pagal Lietuvos Respublikos Švietimo įstatymą privalomas ir valstybės garantuojamas ugdymas yra iki 16 m. pagal pradinio ir pagrindinio ugdymo programas.

Non attendance of school is a worldwide problem. It existed for ages. However it got to be comprehensive when we began to realize the policy (the law of education of Lithuania claims that all children and teenagers under 16 must attend school) of compulsory education. Many teachers and parents encounter unwillingness of children to learn and attend school and face the problem of nonattendance. While taking care of nonattendance of pupils, it is important to characterize them. These pupils usually have no wish to attend or attend not properly, commit crimes or stay in the street. At school they irritate teachers, prevent from giving lessons, have problems in learning. Such children feel repudiated by their friends, avoid showing their feelings and joking, they are unable to concentrate and are impulsive. Very often such children are either super responsible or having no responsibility at all. They are very difficult to communicate, don’t think about possible consequences, difficult to achieve aims. Not full and discordant families, use of drugs and alcohol in families, constant rows and conflicts between parents, lack of emotional relationship between parents and children, various mistakes of upbringing and other possible factors negatively influence child’s personality and forming of his interests. Organizing the activity of children we have to stimulate their interests, excite their curiosity and purposefully direct this activity. Intending to change the attitude of risk... [to full text]

Šiandien Lietuvos mokykloms reikalingi aukščiausios kvalifikacijos kompetetingi vadybos specialistai, turintys reikiamų žinių ir įgūdžių, nuolat tobulėjantys ir keliantys savo kvalifikaciją bei vadybinius gebėjimus, galintys daryti įtaką kaitos procesams savo mokykloje. Lietuvos mokyklų direktoriams standartai dar nėra nustatyti, tačiau anglų autoriai yra sudarę vadybos standartus. Siekiant išanalizuoti Nacionalinius standartus mokyklų direktoriams Velse, kuriuos leidžia Nacionalinė Velso Asamblėja ir atskleisti šios praktikos galimybes Lietuvoje, atliktas aprašas, kurio paskirtis – atlikti Velso ir Lietuvos mokyklų vadovų kompetentingumo vertinimo lyginamąją charakteristiką. Tyrimo tikslas - išanalizuoti Velso mokyklų vadovų kompetencijų vertinimo praktiką ir palyginti su Lietuvos švietimo dokumentais. Atlikus kokybinį tyrimą, buvo nustatyta, kad mokyklos vadovo kompetencija yra vienas iš veiksnių, lemiančių ugdymo kokybę, todėl būtinas valstybinis požiūris į mokyklos vadovo kompetencijos aprašą, į kompetencijų įgijimo ir tobulinimo sistemą. Siekiant aiškiau numatyti mokyklos direktoriaus veiklos modelį, siūlyti galimybę Lietuvos Respublikos švietimo ir mokslo ministerijai parengti standartus mokyklų direktoriams. / Today’s Lithuanian schools require highly qualified, competent management specialists who would have the necessary knowledge and skills, who would constantly improve and advance their qualification and managing skills, who could influence the changing processes at their schools. The standards for the Lithuanian school headmasters have not been set yet, however English authors give such standards. Seeking to analyze the Welsh national standards for the school headmasters, published by the National Assembly, and to disclose the possibilities of this practice in Lithuania there has been done a study, the aim of which is to make a comparative characteristic of the competence of Lithuanian and Welsh leaders. The aim of the study is to analyze the Welsh practice of evaluating the school leaders’ competence and to compare it with the Lithuanian educational documents. The qualitative study has shown that the school leader’s competence is one of the factors influencing the quality of upbringing, therefore the state point of view towards the study of the school leader’s competence, its acquisition and perfection system is necessary. Seeking to clearer determine the school headmaster’s module of activities, the possibility for the Lithuanian Republic ministry of education to prepare the standards for the school headmasters is suggested.

Šiandieninėje visuomenėje bendradarbiavimas traktuojamas kaip vienas reikšmingiausių procesų bei siūlomų sprendimų įvairiems, permainų įtakotiems, iššūkiams. Bendradarbiavimas tampa vis aktualesnis mokyklos bendruomenėje, įtakojantis ugdymo ir mokyklos, kaip organizacijos, kokybinę kaitą, inovacijų sklaidą, pedagogų profesinį tobulėjimą. Šiame magistro darbe analizuojami bendradarbiavimo plėtotės ypatumai mokyklos kontekste. Iškelta hipotezė, jog bendradarbiavimo kultūra siejasi su visos švietimo organizacijos funkcionalumu. Todėl tikėtina, kad tokios bendradarbiavimą apibūdinančios dimensijos kaip: pozityvus tarpusavio sąveikos vertinimas, aktyvus dalyvavimas įvairioje mokyklinėje veikloje, skatinantis vadovavimas bei valdymas (darbo organizavimas, informacijos sklaida, motyvavimas), palankūs tarpusavio santykiai bei atmosfera, o taip pat individualūs gebėjimai bei pastangos bendradarbiauti yra prielaida mokyklos veiklos efektyvumui ir bendradarbiavimo kultūrai plėtoti. Empirinis tyrimas buvo atliktas anketinės apklausos metodu. Atlikta statistinė ir psichometrinė duomenų analizė. Tyrime dalyvavo 99 respondentai (pedagogai, administracijos darbuotojai bei ugdymo įstaigų vadovai). Apklausa vyko Vilniaus „X“ vidurinėje mokykloje ir „Y“ gimnazijoje. Svarbiausios empirinio tyrimo išvados: 1.Respondentų požiūris į bendradarbiavimą švietimo organizacijose yra pozityvus, tarpusavio sąveiką ugdymo įstaigose vertina kaip ,,reikalingą“, ,,įvairią“, ,,demokratišką“, „draugišką“...

Collaboration becomes significant for school community and it determines education and school’s, as organization’s, qualitative changes, the spread of innovations, the professional improvement of educators. In this master‘s final paper peculiarities of collaboration system development in school context are analyzed. In hypothesis it is assumed that there are relations of collaboration culture with school functioning. It’s assumed that school functioning and collaboration culture development is determined by such collaboration dimensions as: positive estimation of collaboration, active participating in various school activities, motivating leadership and management (job organization, the spread of information, motivation), positive relationships and collaboration atmosphere, also individual abilities and attempt to collaborate. 99 respondents (educators, administration workers and schools’ directors) from “X” secondary school and “Y” gymnasium participated in this study. Participants had to fill up the questionnaires. Statistical and psychometric data analysis was made. The results have shown that: 1. Attitude toward collaboration in educational organizations are positive, interaction, reciprocity is thought to be “necessary”, “various”, “democratic”, “friendly”, “introducing the spread of innovations” and “voluntary”. 2.
