Riglyne vir 'n begeleidingsprogram aan ouers van gedragsgeremde leerlinge in multikulturele skoleIpland, Christiaan Heronimus 14 April 2014 (has links)
M.Ed. (Multiculturalism and Education) / It appears that much research has been done in the past on parent education, but with the emphasis on the white community. As a result of the present movement in the RSA towards multicultural education, the need for parent education in all population and ethnic groups has been increased. This area of study has been grossly neglected up to now. Due to the problematic nature of the above-mentioned situation, this study is aimed at compiling guidelines for an education program for parents of behaviorally disturbed children in the multicultural school. An investigation into the characteristics of the behaviorally disturbed child was attempted by means of a study of literature. Existing parent education programs were also studied and evaluated. Insights derived from this study were then adapted to create a set of general and a set of specific guidelines for and education program for parents of behaviorally disturbed children in the multicultural school.

Effectiveness of parent education classes: Phenomenological approachDowning, Lavonna Lucille 01 January 2003 (has links)
The effectiveness of most parent education classed is measured by changes in the child. While all programs are developed from psychological theory, and have been evaluated by research, SES and cultural aspects of the undividual have been given little attention. Since public law has recognized the incidence of child abuse and neglect, large numbers of families are required to attend parent education classes. At the same time, research indicates no particular program is more effective than another.

Is video modeling enough to teach parent-child interactions? Toward a systematic evaluation of the key components of video modeling.Whaley-Carr, Anna Marie 05 1900 (has links)
Parent-child interactions help set the foundation for a child's development. It is therefore important to investigate the relative efficiency and efficacy of procedures used to train them. One procedure that researchers continue to explore is video modeling. The current study evaluated the effect of a video model that displayed favorable parent-child interactions and a modified model with embedded instructions to determine if the introduction of either of these models would alter parent-child interactions. Both models were presented alone without supplemental guidance. Three families were involved in the study. The results showed no systematic change across families or conditions as a result of video viewing and are discussed within context of the needs of the parent, adequate stimulus control, community to support behavior change, measurement sensitivity, and influence of methodology. This study provided a great baseline for future studies to explore the necessary components to create an effective video model.

Effects of Adlerian Parent Education on Parents' Stress and Perception of Their Learning Disabled Child's BehaviorLatson, Sherry R. (Sherry Rose) 08 1900 (has links)
This study examined the effects of an Adlerian-based parent education program on parental stress and perception of Learning Disabled (LD) childrens' behavior. Forty parents, randomly assigned to treatment or waiting-list control groups, took the Parental Stress Index (PSI) and the Adlerian Parental Assessment of Child Behavior Rating Scale (APACBS) as pre and post tests. Parents in the treatment group attended a six-session Active Parenting program. No significant differences were found on the analysis of covariance for perceived parental stress following the parent education program. Seventy percent of the parents in this study had total PSI scores in the range defined as high stress by the PSI author. All of the PSI Child Domain pretest z scores were elevated indicating that parents perceive their LD children to be demanding, moody, distractible, and unadaptable. LD children's behavior is perceived as unacceptable and does not positively reinforce parents. The elevated z scores on the PSI parent Domain pretest indicate that parents of LD children feel less competent as parents and experience less attachment to their children than do parents of normal children. No significant differences were found on the APACBS following treatment, but 80 percent of the parents in the treatment group did perceive some positive behavior change. A positive correlation was found between the PSI and the APACBS indicating that perceived parental stress and child behavior are related. Parents identified 67 perceived stresors of raising LD children on a questionnaire. The results of this study indicate that parents of LD children perceive themselves to experience greater parenting stress than parents of normal childrenn. This perceived parental stress was not reduced and perception of children's behavior was not improved after participation in the Active Parenting program. Therefore, parent education groups for parents of LD children may need to be smaller, provide more time to address the issues specific to raising an LD child, and include a stronger counseling emphasis in order to provide more emotional support for these highly stressed parents.

Educational guidance for parents who are under pressure from their adolescent childrenMarais, Amanda Claudia 11 1900 (has links)
Most adolescents place pressure on their parents. The pressure varies, so there must be factors that contribute to the variance. An important objective of the investigation was to determine such factors from the parent’s side and from the adolescent’s side. It was also important to determine the most important factors in family functioning, and in the wider social context that affect the placement of pressure on parents by adolescents. A sample of 177 high school adolescents and their parents was used. Variables such as age, gender, family structure, working circumstances of parents, birth order position of adolescents, peer pressure, the parent-adolescent relationship, self-concept and personality were included in the study. The results indicate that the pressure that parents experience is associated with parental variables rather than adolescent variables. Parental self-concept, personality, and the parent-adolescent relationship (from the parent’s side) explained almost 63% of the variance in the pressure that parents experience. The conclusion can be made that it is not adolescents who deliberately plan to place their parents under pressure, but rather parents who make themselves vulnerable to such a situation. Any remedy or guidance programme will have to focus primarily on the parent, and the success of such a programme will depend on the way in which it supports the self-concept of the parent. / Psychology of Education / D.

Analysis of high-risk hispanic families in a family support program : characteristics, factors affecting parenting skills over time, and age-paced newsletter efficacyWeatherspoon, Joni 08 January 2004 (has links)
Two studies investigated the characteristics of high-risk Hispanic parents with
young children who were enrolled in a primary prevention home visitation program
targeting first birth families.
In the first study, more and less acculturated high-risk Hispanic families were
compared to high-risk non-Hispanic White families on differences in demographic
characteristics, risk factors associated with poor child outcomes, and parent behaviors
related to infant health. Using the General Linear Model Univariate procedure, these
characteristics were then related to level of parenting skills, measured after
approximately one year of service. A total of 1005 families were included in the study.
There were important differences in parent psychosocial characteristics, health
risks, and outcomes among Hispanic families. Hispanic mothers who were more
acculturated, as measured by use of English in the home, were more likely to be at risk
for substance abuse, mental illness, and family conflict. They were more likely to
smoke and less likely to breastfeed. Less acculturated Hispanic mothers were less
educated and more likely to be isolated. Controlling for pretest scores and education
level, there were significant between group differences on parenting skills after one
year of service, however the effect was small and overshadowed by the significant
interaction effect between partner status and household category. Scores for single
Spanish-speaking Hispanic mothers were significantly lower than scores of Spanish-speaking
Hispanics in partner households.
Risk factors that were positively associated with program progress included
breastfeeding and mother's education level. Smoking, mental illness, and unrealistic
expectations for the child were negatively associated with program progress.
The second paper addressed the efficacy of an age-paced parenting newsletter
as part of a home-visiting program for Spanish-speaking Hispanic parents. Family
Service Workers serving these families delivered the newsletter and used it as a
curriculum guide and teaching tool for families. Parents reported reading the
newsletter, learning from it, and changing their behavior in response to newsletter
content. Home visitors reported that it was a useful tool to reach high-risk parents with
important parenting information. They found that it was particularly useful to combat
inappropriate or unhealthful parenting advice from well-meaning family members and
friends. / Graduation date: 2004

Revisiting deliquency as a form of communicationDhlamini, Majapane Maria 11 1900 (has links)
The three interviews at the back of thesis are in Tswana / Teenage delinquency is a growing phenomenon in the Sebokeng area. Parents with teenagers perceived as “difficult”, feel unable to parent and discipline their children.
It is not known what their perceptions are regarding their realities in relation to their children’s uncontrollable behaviour. A qualitative study was conducted to answer the following questions: What is the perception of parents with teenagers perceived as “difficult” in relation to their children’s uncontrollable behaviour? What does delinquency communicate?
This study found that the behaviour of the parents and children communicates something about themselves as people, their needs, feelings and identity, sometimes on an unconscious level, as well as about their perceptions regarding the interaction between them.
Neither the behaviour of the parent nor of the child should be seen in isolation.
Therefore, social workers should consider what delinquency communicates about each member of the family, as well as the family as a whole. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Science (Mental health))
