Adolescentes et ateliers de danse : l'exploration des bienfaits d'ateliers de danse chez les jeunes filles de 12 à 18 ans hébergées en centre jeunesse

Courreges-Chartier, Gabrielle 07 1900 (has links)
Dans le cadre de la présente étude, les bienfaits des ateliers de danse hip hop en centre jeunesse chez les adolescentes âgées de 12 à 18 ans ont été soulevés et analysés. La méthode de recherche qualitative a été appliquée afin de colliger l’ensemble des informations. Les procédures utilisées pour la collecte de données sont l’observation participante (effectuée à l’occasion de six ateliers de danse hip hop), les études de cas (par des entretiens réalisés sur trois participantes et échelonnées sur dix semaines) et l’animation d’ateliers (donnés à quatre reprises et visant l’expression et la reconnaissance des émotions). L’ensemble de ces méthodes ont fourni des résultats révélateurs quant aux bienfaits qu’apportent les ateliers de danse chez les adolescentes hébergées en CJ. Les bilans de cette étude supportent de manière générale les constats de travaux portant sur les bienfaits de la danse, notamment en ce qui a trait à la régulation des émotions (expression, reconnaissance, identification et gestion des émotions), aux habiletés sociales et aux habiletés sur le plan personnel (estime de soi, image de soi, confiance en soi et état de bien- être). Bien que les bénéfices sur les troubles intériorisés et extériorisés chez les adolescentes aient difficilement pu être observés dans les limites de cette étude, les résultats révèlent une diminution du stress et de l’anxiété chez plusieurs participantes. Ainsi, les conclusions de ce travail suggèrent que les ateliers de danse auprès d’adolescentes pourraient servir d’activité complémentaire aux programmes de réhabilitation proposés en CJ. / In this study, the benefits of hip hop dance workshops in youth centers (YC) for adolescent girls aged 12 to 18 were raised and analyzed. All of the information was gathered using the qualitative research method. Data collection procedures included participant observation (conducted at six hip hop dance workshops), in-depth case studies (via interviews conducted with three participants over a ten-week period), and workshop facilitation (four sessions focusing on emotional expression and recognition). All of these methods yielded revealing insights into the benefits of dance classes for adolescent girls living in YCs. The results of this study generally support the research findings on the benefits of dance, particularly with regard to emotion regulation (expression, recognition, identification and management of emotions), social skills and personal skills (self-esteem, self-image, selfconfidence and state of well-being). Although the benefits of internalizing and externalizing disorders in adolescent girls could hardly be observed within the limits of this study, the results indicate a decrease in stress and anxiety in several participants. Thus, the findings suggest that dance workshops with adolescent girls could be used as a complementary activity to the rehabilitation programs offered in YCs.

Sociálně pedagogická práce v salesiánských střediscích mládeže / Social pedagogical work at Salesian Youth Centres

Opatrná, Kateřina January 2011 (has links)
Annotation: The presented work deals with the contemporary Salesian education on the background of pedagogical principles of the preventive system of Don Bosco, which was formulated as a response to concrete historical conditions of life and needs of young boys in Turine in the second half of the 19th century and was based on a personal experience of a young priest and tutor John Bosco. The goal of the work is to ascertain through an analysis of the contemporary Salesisan education and concrete activities of Czech Salesian Youth Centres, whether and in what extant the Salesian activities can be considered as a social pedagogical work. The work is divided into five parts. Part One is focused on the historical context of the origin of the Salesian movement, whereas Part Two on the preventive system, as was applied by Don Bosco in his work. Part three is dedicated to the contemporary Salesian education and Part Four describes the functions, methods and forms of work in Czech Salesian Youth Centres. In Part Five I examine through the analysis of the contemporary Salesian education and activities of selected Czech Salesian Youth Centres, whether and in which extant the Salesian activities reflect and fulfil social pedagogical aspects of youth work. Key words: Social pedagogical work; Bosco Giovanni; Salesians of...

En plats för unga : Framväxten av de kommunala ungdomsgårdarna i Stockholm 1947–1962 / A place to be young

Mörth, Douglas January 2023 (has links)
In recent years, the existence of youth centers in Stockholm has been disputed and voices have been raised for their dissolvement. This highlights the question the relevance of youth centers today, and why they were introduced in the first place. Earlier statements have linked the establishment of youth centers due to demographic development during the 1950s. However, previous research has identified the Swedish government’s ambition to assert control over youth through discipline and restrictions in schools and other organizations. Yet, the topic of the city-funded youth centers tends to have been overlooked. Therefore, this thesis aims to study city-funded youth centers in Stockholm during 1947–1962. Moreover, socio-spatial theory has been used to analyze the youth centers as producers of social space. Additionally, the emphasis is on representing space and spatial practices as driving forces in developing a space designed for young people. The thesis concludes that the youth centers aimed to limit the movement of suburban youth into the city center of Stockholm. Furthermore, they acted as an educational tool to secure the future of democratic citizenship.

The facilitation of youth friendliness in a Youth Activity Centre (YAC) in Botswana

Matshediso, Ellah 27 November 2009 (has links)
The concept of youth activity centre (YAC) has not yet been evaluated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the YAC in Botswana. Accordingly, the researcher explored and described the lived experience of young people utilising the YAC as well as the perceptions of service providers at the Mochudi Centre in the Kgatleng District, in Botswana. Furthermore, the objective was to develop and describe guidelines for the facilitation of youth-friendly services (YFS) at YAC. A phenomenological, qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual research design was used to extract young people’s experiences and perceptions of service providers. Thirty-two young people and 27 service providers (peer educators and service delivery officers [SDOs]) were purposefully selected. Methods of data collection used were unstructured individual in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and observations in the forms of field notes. The data, mainly tape-recorded interviews and field notes were transcribed verbatim for data analysis. Tesch’s eight-step data analysis model (Creswell 1994:155) was used. One major theme, youth friendliness emerged with three categories, namely: physical, administrative, and psychological aspects of youth-friendly services. All the respondents indicated that they benefited and affirmed they were empowered and better people after using the facility. However, limited access to the facility by the target group due to location, cost of reaching the facility, and attitudes of service providers as well as failure to implement planned activities due to financial and staff shortage were obstacles to youth friendliness of the YAC. Based on the findings and literature review, the researcher developed guidelines to facilitate YFS and improved access to the YAC. Recommendations made are for practise in the YAC, education of SDOs and for further research. / Health Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Health Studies)

Agir contre la cyberintimidation avec la vidéo numérique et YouTube : une étude de sociologie cognitive sur la communication socioéducative médiatisée chez des adolescents

Bégin, Mathieu 07 1900 (has links)
La cyberintimidation désigne toute situation où un individu ou un groupe recourt à une technologie numérique et/ou un média social, dans le but de nuire à un tiers. Au Québec, 22 % des adolescents sont victimes d’actes de cyberintimidation chaque année. Les effets les plus importants de ces actes sont notamment l’anxiété sociale, la baisse des résultats scolaires, la dépression sévère et l’apparition d’idées suicidaires. Cette thèse s’intéresse aux actions mises en œuvre par des vidéastes amateurs et par des adolescents pour lutter contre la cyberintimidation, à l’aide de la vidéo numérique et YouTube. La recherche s’appuie sur la théorie de la rationalité cognitive, qui propose d’expliquer l’existence des phénomènes sociaux en s’intéressant aux raisons pour lesquelles les individus agissent dans un contexte donné. Elle recourt aussi aux concepts de médiation et de médiatisation, dans le but de distinguer l’acte relationnel de communication de l’acte de mise en média de l’information. Dans le cadre de la recherche présentée, 59 vidéos amateures ont été archivées, trois entrevues avec des vidéastes ont été réalisées et 14 groupes de discussion avec 75 adolescents ont été menés. Ces trois ensembles de données ont fait l’objet d’une analyse catégorielle de contenu, qui a permis d’identifier les idées dominantes et les modes de représentation privilégiés dans les vidéos et dans les discours des participants. Les résultats présentés montrent que les vidéos amateures pressent le public à agir contre la cyberintimidation, mais qu’elles proposent peu de pistes de solution concrètes. Afin de convaincre le public à agir, les vidéos révèlent des taux de victimisation élevés, s’opposent à l’idée selon laquelle la cyberintimidation serait moins grave que l’intimidation traditionnelle, et affirment que ce phénomène peut conduire au suicide. Les vidéos mettent de l’avant une image des victimes qui peut paraître stéréotypée à première vue, mais qui correspond aux résultats des recherches sur la cyberintimidation. Cette recherche montre aussi que les vidéastes amateurs sont plus motivés par l’acquisition d’un capital de reconnaissance et par le développement d’habiletés en production vidéo que par le désir d’aider autrui en rapport avec la cyberintimidation. Les résultats montrent également que l’idée de produire des mises en scène caricaturales pour la cyberintimidation est rejetée par les adolescents, qui valorisent plutôt le réalisme et l’authenticité. Ils révèlent aussi que les adolescents sont peu réceptifs à l’idée de recourir à l’humour ou à la violence pour convaincre un public, et qu’ils s’opposent à l’idée de produire une vidéo dont les contenus sont générés par ordinateur ou dénués de toute présence humaine. La principale contribution de cette recherche à l’avancement des connaissances sur les jeunes et les médias est une meilleure compréhension des défis qu’ils rencontrent quand ils produisent une vidéo de nature socioéducative. Des programmes d’éducation aux médias ciblant les adolescents pourraient aborder avec eux les principes d’une telle communication, notamment le choix des contenus, le public visé et le mode de diffusion. / Cyberbullying refers to any situation where an individual or a group uses digital technology and/or social media in order to harm a third party. In Quebec, 22% of teenagers are victims of cyberbullying each year. The major effects of these acts include social anxiety, lower grades, severe depression and the emergence of suicidal ideation. This thesis focuses on the actions favored by amateur videographers and adolescents to fight against cyberbullying, using digital video and YouTube. The research is inspired by the theory of cognitive rationality, which suggests that social phenomena may be explained by the reasons why individuals act in a given context. It also uses the concepts of mediation and mediatization in order to distinguish the relational act of communication and the act of formatting information. In this study, 59 amateur videos have been archived, three interviews with video producers have been conducted and 14 focus groups with 75 teenagers were lead. These three data sets have been subjected to a categorical content analysis, which identified the dominant ideas and the preferred modes of representation in the videos and in the discourses of participants. The results presented show that amateur videos urge the public to act against cyberbullying, but that they offer few concrete solutions. To convince the public to take action, the videos show high rates of victimization, take position against the idea that cyberbullying is less serious than traditional bullying, and argue that this phenomenon can lead to suicide. The videos present a picture of the victims that may seem stereotypical at first glance, but which corresponds to the results of research on cyberbullying. This study also shows that video producers are more motivated by the acquisition of a capital of recognition and by the development of skills in video production than by the desire to help those affected by cyberbullying. The results also show that the idea of ​​producing unrealistic dramatizations to describe cyberbullying is rejected by teenagers, who value instead realism and authenticity. They also reveal that teenagers are not receptive to the idea of ​​using humor or violence to convince an audience, and that they are opposed to the idea of ​​producing a video whose contents are computer-generated or in which there is no human presence. The main contribution of this research to the advancement of knowledge on youth and media is a better understanding of the challenges faced by teenagers when they produce a socioeducational video. Media education programs targeting teenagers could discuss with them the principles of such communication, especially regarding the choice of contents, the intended audience and the preferred mode of diffusion.
