Darbe atlikta teorinė sutrikusio intelekto vaikų ir jaunuolių, gyvenančių globos įstaigoje, psichosocialinės charakteristikos ir salutogenezės, kaip sunkumų įveikos metodologijos, bei vidinės darnos ir jos komponento – sunkumų įveikos strategijų struktūros analizė. Iškelta hipotezė, kad sunkumų įveikos strategijų pasirinkimas priklauso nuo jaunuolių asmens savybių ir socialinės aplinkos. Neįgalūs jaunuoliai, įveikdami sunkumus, mažiau naudoja adaptacinių gebėjimų reikalaujančias strategijas. Interviu ir anketinės apklausos metodais buvo atliktas tyrimas, kurio tikslas – ištirti, kaip įveikia sunkumus sutrikusio intelekto jaunuoliai, išėję iš vaikų ir jaunimo pensionato, kokias įveikos strategijas jie naudoja. Atlikta nestandartizuotos medžiagos turinio (duomenys kategorizuoti pagal semantinius ryšius) ir statistinė (aprašomoji vidurkių, standartinių nuokrypių, faktorinė) duomenų analizė. Tyrime dalyvavo 7 jaunuoliai, turintys intelekto sutrikimą, ir 110 pensionatų darbuotojų, globėjų ir jų šeimų narių (atitinkamai – 99, 8 ir 3 respondentai). Empirinėje dalyje nagrinėjamos sutrikusio intelekto jaunuolių asmenybės ypatumai (psichologinės ir būdo savybės, gebėjimai, vertybės ir nuostatos), socialiniai resursai (socialinė aplinka), stresinės situacijos ir jos subjektyvaus vertinimo ypatumai, įveikos veiksmai (strategijos), kuriuos individas atlieka, norėdamas prisitaikyti prie esamos situacijos. Svarbiausios empirinio tyrimo išvados: 1. Sutrikusio intelekto jaunuolių įveikos...

The hypothesis claims that the choice of difficulties coping strategies depends on personal characteristics of young people and the social environment. When coping with difficulties the disabled young people use fewer strategies requiring adaptation abilities. The research was conducted using the methods of interview and questionnaire. The aim of the research – to study the ways the young people with the dysfunction of intelligence from orphanages and foster homes for children cope with difficulties and the coping strategies they use. The analysis of the content of nonstandard material (the data were categorized according to semantic relations) and statistic data analysis (descriptive analysis of averages, standard deviations, factorial analysis) were done. 7 young people with the dysfunction of intelligence and 110 employees working in the boarding-school, guardians and members of their families (99, 8 and 3 respondents respectively) participated in the research. Personal peculiarities of young people with the dysfunction of intelligence (psychological and temper peculiarities, abilities, values and attitudes), social resources (social... [to full text]

The thesis deals with the construction of the model for training Self-efficacy of young people with moderate intellectual disabilities based on A.Bandura’s Social Learning Theory. The hypothesis of three conditions is developed: Self-efficacy of young people with moderate intellectual disabilities will be trained if: 1) educational situations are based on the educator and the learners’ harmony of aims and equipotential interaction; 2) the learner is able to express his feelings and images in the creative work spontaneously by means of art expression and the educator is able to express his expectations; 3) the educator is active creating conditions for art expression searching for the ways of social promotion and analysing the changes in the topics and graphic patterns of creative works of young people with moderate intellectual disabilities. To implement and study these three conditions the art expression studio initiated its activity and educational situations adequate to the hypothesis were created. The pedagogical interaction was investigated employing standardised observational method, the elements of Grounded theory and H-T-P methods were employed to analyse the learners’ drawings, and the manifestations of the learners’ Self-efficacy were searched employing phenomenological investigation performing case analyses. It is proved that consciously and purposefully constructed equipotential pedagogical interaction is the precondition of Self-efficacy of young people with MID.
