Darbo objektas: paauglių motyvacijos sportuoti ir sporto poreikių tenkinimo ryšiai. Tyrimo problema. Sportuoti skatinančių veiksnių problema yra aktuali, nes vis dažniau mokslininkai kelia tokius klausimus: kokia motyvacijos sportinei veiklai struktūra, kaip skatinti vaikų ir paauglių motyvaciją, koks jų poreikis sportuoti. Ugdymo turinys taip pat yra svarbus veiksnys, lemiantis mokinių motyvaciją. Ryšys tarp sportinio ugdymo turinio įvairovės ir vaikų motyvacijos sportuoti dažniau nagrinėjamas formaliojo švietimo požiūriu, o neformaliojo - dažniau nusakomas teoriškai, nei grindžiamas konkrečiais empiriniais tyrimais. Mokytojams ir treneriams taip pat yra labai svarbu įvertinti paauglių demografinius veiksmus, nes jie labai svarbūs, nepriklausomai nuo to, kur paauglys sportuoja. Nežinant motyvacijos ypatumų, sunku būtų kryptingai spręsti paauglių sveikos gyvensenos ir užimtumo laisvalaikiu problemas, rengti juos varžyboms. Tyrimo tikslas - įvertinti paauglių (12-14 metų) motyvacijos sportuoti bei sporto poreikių tenkinimo ryšius Šilutės rajono savivaldybės bendrojo ugdymo ir sporto mokyklose. Tyrimo uždaviniai: 1. Nustatyti paauglių (12-14 metų), besimokančių Šilutės rajono savivaldybės bendrojo ugdymo ir sporto mokyklose, motyvacijos sportuoti skirtumus; 2. Įvertinti paauglių (12-14 metų), besimokančių Šilutės rajono savivaldybės bendrojo ugdymo ir sporto mokyklose, sporto poreikių tenkinimo skirtumus; 3. Išanalizuoti paauglių (12-14 metų), besimokančių Šilutės rajono... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / Work object: relations of teenagers’ sports motivation and satisfaction of sport needs. Problem of the study. The problem of the factors enhancing exercising is relevant as more often scientists raise the following questions: what is the structure of sports activity, how to encourage the motivation of children and teenagers, what is their need to exercise. Educational content is also a very important factor, determining the students’ motivation. The relation between the variety of sport educational content and children’s motivation to exercise is often analysed in regard to formal education, and informal education is more often outlined theoretically than based on specific empirical studies. It is also very important for teachers and trainers to assess the teenagers’ demographic actions as they are very important independent of the fact about where the teenager exercises. Not knowing the peculiarities of motivation, it would be difficult to single-mindedly solve the problems of teenagers’ healthy lifestyle and occupation in their free-time, to prepare them for competitions. Objective of the study – to assess the relations of teenagers’ (12-14 years-old) sports motivation and satisfaction of sport needs in comprehensive and sport schools of Šilutė region municipality. The tasks of the study: 1. To determine the differences of sports motivation of the teenagers (12-14 years-old), studying at comprehensive and sport schools in Šilutė region municipality; 2.

Majority of the psychologists note that it is natural of a man to evolve gradually. In the beginning of the career, a teacher survives some stages of pedagogical development progress (Frances Fuler, 1969; Feiman – Nemsener, 1983; Leitwood, 1992; Arends, 1998; Šernas, 1998 etc.), but first and most of all (s)he experiences diffidence and self-concern. Only later (s)he starts to care about the teaching situation and the learners. After surveying a range of studies considering first-year teaching problems, a conclusion can be made that there are still very few programs helping beginner teachers’ work. As one of the ways which could help a young teacher solve raising problems, mentorship is being studied as method to establish and maintain partnership with young and little- or non-experienced colleagues. Good partnership should be grounded on common interests, mutual help and knowledge. The present article the deals with mentorship as way to help a beginner teacher’s adaptation and his formation as an educator, in which mentor means a person specially appointed to admonish a young teacher. Since Lithuania joined the international APartMent mentor preparation project in 2001, mentor has been defined as a qualified specialist able to conduct future teachers’ school practice. The present article states the opinion that it would be logical if the same mentor or a specially appointed person could admonish a beginner primary teacher as well, because a... [to full text]

This article discusses the psychological, methodological, practical and partially administrative communicative competence of teachers at one Vilkaviškis secondary school (SSCH) to educate children with special needs (SN) in integrated teaching conditions. It presents the results of teachers‘ questionnaire, recommendations for national pedagogical studies for BA, MA and qualification courses. The article draws five conclusions: 1.Teachers in Vilkaviškis SSCH do not possess the psychological competence for integrated education of children with SN. Due to the dominating psychological stereotypical bias some teachers are not interested in special education, partially take the individual qualities of children with SP into consideration, do not seek better quality of education, refuse to cooperate, leave education to the competence of a special educator or speech therapist. 2. The methodological competence of teachers in Vilkaviškis SSCH is insufficient since the majority of teachers have not heard a course of lectures on special education, 1/5 of teachers have not been certified, 65,1% of teachers regard their abilities to recognize a pupil with SN as unsatisfactory or insufficient, they do not know the main principles of work with children with SN. 3. The low quality practical competence of teachers in Vilkaviškis SSCH is mainly determined by the negative attitude of the school community to the integrated education of children with SN and by the lack of methodological...

Pasikeitus ekonominėms ir juridinėms sąlygoms, atsirado benamių – žmonių, praradusių gyvenamąjį būstą. Butai prarandami dėl įvairių priežasčių: tapus aferistų aukomis, prasiskolinus, degradavus. Dalis šių žmonių tampa visiškais benamiais ─ neturi nuolatinio darbo, gyvenamosios vietos, valkatauja, elgetauja, nusikalsta. Jie nakvoja atsitiktinėse vietose: vasarą parkuose, apleistuose pastatuose, žiemą – šiluminėse trasose, stotyse. Tikslus tokių benamių skaičius nežinomas. Laikinai jie gali prisiglausti nakvynės namuose. Poreikis apsigyventi nakvynės namuose yra žymiai didesnis nei laisvų vietų skaičius juose. Pastaraisiais metais Lietuvoje socialinių paslaugų sistema sparčiai plėtojama, savivaldybėse kuriamos įvairių tipų įstaigos, teikiamos naujų rūšių paslaugos. Išsiplėtus paslaugų sistemai, atsiranda naujų santykių tarp paslaugų teikėjų, ypač aktualūs tampa paslaugų valdymo, prioritetų nustatymo, paslaugų pirkimo ir pardavimo, taip pat mokėjimo už paslaugas klausimai. Vykdydama savo programines nuostatas, Vyriausybė socialinės apsaugos ir socialinės aprėpties politika siekia, kad kiekvienam šalies gyventojui būtų sudarytos visaverčio gyvenimo sąlygos, atsižvelgiant į moterų ir vyrų padėties skirtumus. Dar didesnis dėmesys bus skiriamas socialinei atskirčiai įveikti, skurdui ir turtinei nelygybei mažinti, skatinti šeimos stabilumui. Išdėstytos socialinės apsaugos ir socialinės aprėpties politikos nuostatos padės įgyvendinti Nacionalinės Lisabonos strategijos...

In the teenager year the decisive critical period starts. A person starts to integrate everything what he knows about himself, his aptitude, faculty, social values and in the active way reaches for proficiency, successful activities. In such a period upbringing problems occur which start from the alternation of mood, permanent reactions of protest and the indifferent style of behavior. The majority of such the problems could be reduced and relieve while perceiving and fulfilling spiritual demands of teenagers. One of the training courses is the individualization of educational content. It means the teacher has to consider individual features of a student. The scientific problem of our work is individualization of the content of dramatic training; for the aim to suit younger teenagers’ spiritual demands. The object of our work is individualization of the content of dramatic training while meeting the spiritual demands of younger teenagers.

The formulation of the scientific problem Community areas are the places where children can spend their leisure time and play. However, the proper purpose of them has not been clearly defined in Lithuania yet. The reports of the municipalities of Lithuanian Republic for the Children’s Rights Protection Service 2004-2005 „On the condition of the playgrounds“ state that the majority of the reported playgrounds is situated next to the blocks of flats. The condition of them is defined as satisfactory or very poor, sometimes even threatening for the children’s health. As far as the equipment of the playgrounds goes the most popular mentioned in the reports are the following: swings, structures for climbing and sandboxes. It is important to mention that often the equipment on the playgrounds does not correspond to the requirements of hygiene, especially this can be said about the sandboxes. Other pieces of equipment are dated and only occasionally are fixed, painted or refilled with sand. In some municipalities there are no playgrounds left due to the fact that the constructions which had threatened for the children’s health were dismantled. The general tendency shows that the existing sport areas in the school yards and the remaining playgrounds do not meet the children’s need for playing which is foreseen by the United Nations Convention of the Right of the Child. The 1st part of the 31st article of this Convention states that children have the right „to rest and leisure, to... [to full text]
