Bendrojo lavinimo mokyklose daugėja vaikų ir paauglių elgesio nukrypimų apraiškų, todėl yra palankios sąlygos vykdyti mokinių elgesio stebėseną ir jos pagrindu modeliuoti prevencinę veiklą. Stebėsenos metu sukauptos medžiagos apie vaikų elgesio nukrypimus psichopedagoginė analizė leidžia įvertinti vaikų ir paauglių elgesio grupių mikrosocialinės bei makrosocialinės aplinkos įtaką jų elgesiui, atpažinti delinkventinio elgesio pasireiškimo formas, tirti pedagoginių prevencijos priemonių bei modelių efektyvumą siekiant sumažinti vaikų negatyvaus elgesio pasireiškimus socialinėje institucijoje. Tyrimo objektas - prevencinės veiklos ugdymo institucijoje modeliavimas, siekiant teigiamai paveikti vaikų elgesio nukrypimų prevenciją. Tyrimo tikslas - parengti vaikų elgesio nukrypimų prevencijos mokykloje veiklos modelį. Darbe keliama hipotezė, jog kryptingai modeliuojant vaikų elgesio nukrypimų prevenciją ugdymo institucijoje įmanoma pozityvi vaikų elgesio kaita. Tyrimas naudojant kompiuterinę stebėsenos programą STEBIS vykdytas Panevėžio rajono Smilgių vidurinėje mokykloje, stebėta 20 vaikų besimokančių 5 – 10 klasėse. Tyrimo metu nustatyta, kad septyni iš dvidešimties stebėtų mokinių elgesio normas pažeidė epizodiškai, o likusieji yra linkę sistemingai pažeidinėti nustatytas mokyklos ir viešosios tvarkos taisykles. Daugiausia vaikų stebėta dėl egresijos elgsenos atvejų (valkatavimo – 13, bėgimo iš pamokų – 12), cheminės priklausomybės (dažniausiai rūkymo – 11) ir kitų negatyvaus...

The data gathered under the observation of children behaviour deviance, using psychopedagogical analysis, enables to evaluate the impact of microsocial and macrosocial environment on the behaviour in groups of children and teenagers as well as to recognize delinquent behaviour manifestation forms. Besides, psycho- pedagogical analysis makes it also possible to examine the efficiency of pedagogical preventive measures and models in order to reduce manifestation of children’s negative behaviour in a social institution. The object of study is to model preventive activity in educational institutions seeking to affect positively children’s behavioural deviance prevention.

An anonymous questionnaire survey was carried out at Kačerginė children rehabilitation centre from June until December of 2005. 197 patients (10-17 years old) participated in the survey. Statistical analysis was performed using the statistical package SPSS 9.0 for Windows. The associations between the variables were tested by Chi squared test and z criterion. Differences between means of two independent samples were evaluated using a criterion of Mann-Whitney. The strength of the association between rank variables was assessed by the application of the Spearman correlation coefficient. Results. The majority of patients (77%) at the children rehabilitation centre were satisfied with the provided services and with the variety and number of provided medical services (82%).

The main purpose of this thesis is to identify the status of the students aged 9 to10 within the classroom environment, who are ascribed to the demonstrative character accentuation. The first part of this work is dedicated to the analysis of A.Ličko (1983), K.Leonhard (1989), V.Justickis (1993), V.Kaziukėnaitė (1995), I.Petrauskienė (1999) articles, that deal with the features of demonstrative accentuations, the motives of behavior and the possibilities of diagnosis. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to the theoretical aspects of characteristics of group and the importance of the child’s relationships in it. Also indicated are the relationships of the demonstrative children with both the official group ( class ) and the informal one ( chosen friends ). In the third part of this work a research of the primary school students in Kaunas is presented. The hypothesis that the children of demonstrative behavior, experience social difficulties was confirmed. Trying to gain the attention of others they become boring and not interesting to their peers therefore their status in the class is very low. It is recommended for teachers to cooperate with parents and help them to understand the features of the child with demonstrative character and attempt to correct them.

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]

The requirement of social services is growing constantly in Lithuania. It is necessary to increase the number of social services because the number of them is too little at this time. Especially there are many social problems in the country. The goodness and health of the family and children depend on the social condition of family. Families having invalid children often need some help and some social service. The aim of the master’s work is to analyse in the requirement of social services in families, have invalid children. Also there is a purpose to find out if invalid children who live in country have good possibilities to go to educational institutions. For the research there was used questionnaire of parents who have invalid children. The analysis the needs of social sevices has shown that families need varioes consulations and advice. Also they need possibility of using transport services and possibility of taking children to day centres. Families, which live in the country, need help in agricultural works very much too. Having estimated the results of the research analysed in the bachelor’s work, we suggest to extend groups of children’s upbringing and educational classes. Otherway invalid children still need to go to Šiauliai, Vilnius, Panėvežys. Also we suggest providing children with day care service because there children could feel home surroundings.

The problem/focus of the research - the process of integration and adaptation into general education of children with special educational needs, who are brought up in the orphanages/boarding schools.

In Lithuania the problem of left and unkept children (with damaged primary parents-children social ties) guardianship is very acute. During the recent years forming the policy of the social protection of the children left without parents‘ guardianship the main attention is allotted to stimulation of guardianship in the family and of integration to the biological family. But the family policy in Lithuania is not organized on the regular basis and is not sufficiently supported financially. Every year the number of the children‘s guardianship institutions is growing. During the recent years the number of such children is around 13 thousand. Even more poor states have no such number of the children‘s guardianship institutions as Lithuania. This problem is not that acute both in Latvia and Estonia. It is not that easy to create the conditions not only for smooth but even for necessary development of the children‘s cognitive and emotional- social health. As many as 80 percent of children in the guardianship institutions have their biological families but they spend the whole period of their early and further development till they finish secondary school in the guardianship institutions. One of the main reasons why children lost the parents‘ guardianship was that they lived in the families of social risk. The children in the guardianship institutions face multiple separations, loses, their main primary and the most important parents‘ – children social ties are damaged... [to full text]
