Bakalauro darbo santrauka Bakalauro darbą sudaro įvadas, du skyriai ir išvados. Įvade pateikta tyrimo metodika, tikslas, uždaviniai, aprašyti tyrimo dalyviai. Suformuluota hipotezė, jog mokiniams, turintiems nežymiai sutrikusį intelektą, bendrojo lavinimo mokyklos geografijos vadovėliai yra per daug sudėtingi. Pirmame skyriuje apžvelgtos bendroji ir specialioji geografijos programos, išanalizuoti mokinių, turinčių nežymiai sutrikusį intelektą, geografiniai vaizdiniai, priežasties – padarinių ryšiai. Antrame skyriuje pateiktas tyrimas, išanalizuotas vadovėlio tekstas, bei siūlomi tekstai mokymo kursui apie Pietų Ameriką. Darbo gale pateikiamos išvados. Tyrime dalyvavo 28 aštuntos ir 28 devintos klasės mokiniai, turintys nežymiai sutrikusį intelektą. Testo metodu tirta, kaip mokiniai, turintys nežymiai sutrikusį intelektą, įsisavino mokymo medžiagą apie Pietų Ameriką. Palygintos aštuntokų ir devintokų žinios. Tyrimu nustatyta, kad aštuntokai ir devintokai maždaug vienodai turi žinių apie Pietų Ameriką. Tyrimo metu aštuntokai mokymo kursą buvo išėję prieš metus, tačiau kai kurie jų rezultatai buvo prastesni už devintokų atsakymus. Devintokai apie Pietų Ameriką mokėsi tik 7 klasėje, nuo to laiko praėjo dveji metai. Ir aštuntos, ir devintos klasės mokinių žinios – nepakankamai įtvirtintos, netikslios. Besimokantys geografijos kursą specialiojoje mokykloje, įgyja žinias, kurios padeda orientuotis pasaulyje ir artimiausioje...

The Introductory Part focuses on the research methods, the aim of the work with objectives and the description of the participants in this research. The following hypothesis has been formulated: the students with a slight mental disorder find geography coursebooks for comprehensive schools too difficult. The first chapter of this work overviews common and special geography syllabuses, and analyses links between cause and effect of students with a slight mental disorder geographical visualisations. The second chapter of this work provides a detailed analysis of the coursebook text. Furthermore, different texts for teaching about South America are suggested. The conclusions are drawn at the end of the work. 28 students from the 8th class and the same number of ninthformers with a slight mental disorder participated in this research. Using the testing method, the research was carried out trying to disclose the pecularities of how students with a previously mentioned disorder master the teaching material about South America. The knowledge of the both groups of students has been compared. After the research, it can be assumed that the knowledge about South America among eightformers and ninthformers is almost the same. At the time of the research, the eightformers had completed the syllabus a year before, however some of their... [to full text]

We usually view a family as small social group, with its basic characteristics to be mutual co-operation of all of its individual members. They are inter-connected by a variety of relations. As each member of a family is an individual and original personality, even the created family makes an individual, original and unrepeatable social organism. This applies to each different family {--} even to families with a handicapped child. This is to say, coexistence in one or another family has the same basic characteristics. When talking of life quality of people, we may have in mind different extent of perception of a man. It is possible to talk about life quality of an individual man as well as life quality of several people, e.g. life quality in a family. The aim of the graduation thesis was to find out the life quality of families living with an individual with slight mental disorder (IQ 50-60). To find out their difference from families without any mentally handicapped individual. All of that using the PedsQL questionnaire, which is a sufficient criterion for the problems fixation. Information needed for the graduation thesis processing was obtained on the basis of specialised material studies. Quantity research was performed to map the families life quality. Data collection was performed using the questioning method {--} the questionnaire method. The questionnaire designed by James Walter Varni Ph.D. was distributed to two groups {--} families with a slightly mentally handicapped individual (IQ 50-69) and families with children, without any mentally handicapped individual. The questionnaire contained 8 areas, in which the individual families could encounter any problem. The aim of the graduation thesis was fulfilled and the research confirmed the hypothesis that life quality of a family with slightly mentally handicapped individual with his/her intelligence quotient in the range of 50-60 points, differs from life quality of a family without any mentally handicapped individual. Some questions of the questionnaire provably demonstrated lower quality of life in families living with a slightly mentally handicapped individual.
