Title: The Pikler Early Childhood Education Author: Dana Noack Department: Katedra psychologie, FF UK Supervisor: Prof. PhDr. Lenka Šulová, CSc. Abstract: The intention of this study was to explore how the parents who are familiar with the Piklerian principles use these in upbringing their children in the family in the period of early childhood. The theoretical part describes the process of socialization (with the emphasis on the preconditions for the early interaction both on the child's and the parent's side) as well as the topic of upbringing in the family (basic models and the relation of upbringing to the socio-cultural and the historical context) and the most important aspects of the child development in the first three years. The last chapter of the theoretical part introduces the Hungarian pediatrician Emmi Pikler, the basic pediatrist Emmi Pikler, the basic premises of her approach and it's principles related to the issue of the motor development, care and play. The empirical part presents the results of the qualitative content analysis of data gathered by a questionnaire. These data provide us with a basic picture of how the concrete parents use the Piklerian principles in upbringing their children.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Elaine Cardia Laviola.pdf: 2691025 bytes, checksum: 81b99754158e9bca9064eced4361611a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-06-22 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / This doctoral thesis is linked with the Center of Studies of Gender, Race and Age (Núcleo de Estudos de Gênero, Raça e Idade NEGRI) of the postgraduate studies program in Social Psyhcology from the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP), as part of the collective research project which focus on the discourse made by adults about their babies, their upbringing, education and care. This thesis' objective is to describe and interpret the discourse of eight mothers of babies, professionally active, with a university degree, belonging to the urban middle class and living in the city of São Caetano do Sul, in the state of São Paulo, about the baby and their perception of what they consider adequate methods od upbringing, education and care not only for their own children, but also for other babies. We assumed that, in the interviewees' discourse, the perception of the small child as fragile, immature and dependent would prevail. This view links the baby, first and foremost or exclusively, to the domestic realm, sustaining its invisibility in the social level and in public context, making it difficult for its rights for education to be completely fulfilled by the policies of education of children ages 0-3. We adopted the theoretical approaches offered by the new studies on childhood, which attempt to break away from the adult-centered and naturalizing concepts, as well as the academic production of the French researchers Bloch and Buisson (1998,1999), on the process of choice of couples of methods of child upbringing and education, analyzed by them, from the perspective of relations between generations as well as gender relations. Based on the use of content analysis techniques we present the results, which confirm our initial hypothesis, around five interpretative axles: the interviewees' social contexts; perceptions of the baby and the toddler; methods of upbringing, education and care for babies; the government and the society's responsibilities; and aspects related to the relations between generations / Esta tese de doutorado vincula-se ao Núcleo de Estudos de Gênero, Raça e Idade (NEGRI) do Programa de Estudos Pós-Graduados em Psicologia Social da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP), integrando o projeto coletivo de pesquisas que vem focalizando discursos proferidos por adultos sobre o bebê, sua educação e cuidado. Seu objetivo foi descrever e interpretar discursos de oito mães de bebês, inseridas profissionalmente, com formação universitária, pertencentes às camadas médias urbanas e residentes no município paulista de São Caetano do Sul, sobre o bebê e suas concepções sobre o que consideram adequado em termos de modalidades de educação e cuidado não só para seus filhos, mas também, para outros bebês. Partimos da hipótese de que prevaleceria, nos discursos das entrevistadas, uma concepção de criança pequena, considerada frágil, imatura, dependente, que vincula o bebê, prioritária ou exclusivamente, ao espaço doméstico, sustentando sua invisibilidade no plano social e em contexto público, dificultando que seus direitos à educação sejam plenamente contemplados pelas políticas de Educação Infantil. Adotamos os aportes teóricos proporcionados tanto pelos novos estudos sobre a infância, que procuram romper com concepções adultocêntricas e naturalizantes, quanto pela produção acadêmica das pesquisadoras francesas Bloch e Buisson (1998, 1999) sobre o processo de escolha de casais por modalidades de educação infantil, analisado, por elas, a partir da perspectiva das relações intergeracionais e de gênero. Com base na utilização de técnicas de análise de conteúdo apresentamos os resultados, que corroboram nossa hipótese inicial, em torno de cinco eixos interpretativos: os contextos sociais das entrevistadas; concepções sobre o bebê e a criança pequena; modalidades de educação e cuidado para bebês; responsabilidades do Estado e da sociedade; aspectos intergeracionais

The master thesis "Parents and marketing forms targeted at children: awareness, attitudes and educational approaches" describes marketing and advertisement methods that aims towards children and also parental perception of these methods. The children's segment is quite popular in the marketing industry, mainly because young consumption behaviour is easily affected. Parents play a big role in influencing children's perception, which is why I chose to focus on parents as well. Parents need to know about these advertisement and marketing's forms if they want to influence their children in a correct way. The theoretical part of the thesis describes characteristics of media education in the family, marketing forms aimed on children, approaches and strategies of parents in media education and also the reaction of children to the given advertising forms. The practical part discusses the description of the chosen research technique, namely qualitative research consisting of semi-structured in-depth interviews. The aim of these in-depth interviews was to find out the level of orientation of preschool children in the child-targeted marketing forms. The goal was to establish their attitudes towards these advertising forms and describe how they approach this area in the education of their children. Negative...

This master's thesis deals with the Instrumental Enrichment Method of Reuven Feuerstein. It provides an introduction to the method as well as examples of its application in institutionalized Preschool education. The aim of the thesis is to provide insight into aspects of introducing the method as a part of Preschool education. The theoretical part desribes the theoretical framework of the method and defines the method in relation to Preschool education. The theoretical part of the thesis also deals with the principles and Czech legislation of current Preschool education and related inclusive education. The practical part of the thesis derives from a qualitative research on the real practice introduction of the method in institutionalized Preschool education. Research data are based on individual interviews with the nursery school headmasters. The interviewers were from various nursery schools across the Czech Republic, which are registered in the Register of Ministry of Education. The results of the research provide the respondents's opinions and experiences of various extent. Many overlaps were found in content of testimonies, which provides method enrichment in various areas of institutionalized preschool education. The research also brings out data on the organizational issues of introducing the...

The aim of the thesis is to examine how children as social beings and actors form themselves within the framework of a school institution that adults have set up in order to shape them in deliberate ways through nurturing education. The study is based on long-term fieldwork in a Muslim faith school in Sweden. Muslim schools have aroused a great deal of debate in Swedish society. Opponents have argued that Muslim schools lead to segregation and social exclusion, that these schools risk not promoting the fundamental values of society and that children in these schools are met by religious propaganda. Advocates of these schools have maintained that in public schools the Muslim identity is eroded by ignorance, lack of understanding and racism. Muslim schools instead offer children knowledge of their culture and religion in a way that enhances their identity and makes them secure and whole human beings who can be integrated into society. The debate reflects that school institutions function as loci for contested forms of socialisation in society; national, ethnic, religious, or the struggle of other groups for cultural production and social reproduction in which they are united in the role and importance attached to the school institution in the shaping of young people. In the debate children appear as passive receivers and products of adults’ upbringing and education, which represents both threat and opportunity. The debate around Muslim schools reflects adult-centred ideas of socialisation, where the adults’ upbringing and education is placed at the centre of the process in which children are formed into social persons. What emerged from this study is that children are social actors who shape themselves and that this shaping is more of an informal social process than a formal education process. The study raises the profile of how the school constitutes an environment in which children are in the majority and adults in the minority; a social environment in which children have significantly more social contact and a greater number of social relations with each other than with adults. The school as a child-centred social environment is reflected in the fact that it is principally children who shape each other rather than adults shaping children. / Hur formas barn i en muslimsk skola? Muslimska skolor har väckt stor debatt i Sverige. Motståndare har uttryckt att dessa skolor leder till segregation, att de riskerar att inte förmedla samhällets värdegrund och att barn där möts av religiös propaganda. Förespråkare har hävdat att i den kommunala skolan bryts barns muslimska identitet sönder av okunskap, oförståelse och rasism mot muslimer. Genom muslimska skolor erbjuds barn istället kunskap om sin kultur och religion vilket stärker deras identitet och gör dem till trygga och hela människor som kan integreras i samhället. Debatten reflekterar hur skolinstitutionen fungerar som lokus för nationella, etniska, religiösa eller andra gruppers ”kamp” om kulturell produktion och social reproduktion i samhället. Den gemensamma nämnaren för förespråkare och motståndare till muslimska skolor är den roll och betydelse som skolinstitutionen tillmäts för att avsiktligt forma den uppväxande generationen. De delar en vuxencentrerad syn på socialisation. Barn framstår som sociala produkter av de normer och värderingar som lärare förmedlar i skolan, vilket utgör både hot och möjlighet. Den här studien problematiserar den vuxencentrerade synen på barns socialisation som kommer till uttryck i debatten kring muslimska skolor. Studien visar att barn är sociala aktörer som formar sig själva och att formning snarare är en informell social process än en lärarstyrd utbildningsprocess. Studien belyser skolan som en vardaglig miljö där barn är i majoritet och vuxna i minoritet; en social miljö där barn har betydligt fler relationer och intensivare umgänge med varandra än med vuxna. Att skolan i social bemärkelse är barncentrerad innebär att det där framförallt är barn som formar varandra än att vuxna formar barn. Studien bygger på ett längre fältarbete bland barn i en mellanstadieklass i en muslimsk friskola.

This diploma thesis is focused on psychosocial issues related to vulnerable and lonely children, especially with regard to the threat of emotional deprivation. Theoretical part provides definitions of key terms, such as child needs, upbringing, family and its background, psychological deprivation and its consequences; substitute family care, socialization, etc. The aim of theoretical part is to outline development and education of children in out-of-home care facilities in comparison with the care of child in its own family environment. These differences have been analyzed in the research part of the work. The main goal was to contact several involved experts and learn their approaches and opinions regarding the vulnerable children situation in the Czech Republic, which has been facing these issues. Semistructured interview conducted by me with the above experts was focused mostly on asking questions regarding existing {\clqq}imperfections`` in the Family Code and Act on social & legal protection of children, as amended, to highlight the indicators which have negative impacts on successful psychosocial development of children. To provide better picture of the researched issue, the work is complemented by the casuistics of a family with adopted child.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Solange Lacks_Tese.pdf: 801516 bytes, checksum: 6fec8d81d8d91513d5e9aafd87f06858 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2004 / O estudo insere-se na área de concentração "Educação, sociedade e práxis pedagógica", especificando-se nas linhas de pesquisa "Currículo e tecnologias de informação" e "Estudo e pesquisa em Educação Física & Esporte e Lazer", do Programa de Pós-Graduação da Universidade Federal da Bahia. Investe-se na formação de professores, no que tange à prática como articuladora do conhecimento no currículo, seus nexos com projetos históricos de universidade e de formação humana, perspectivando sua qualificação pedagógica, científica e política. Para tratar dessa problemática, atentou-se para posições teóricas sobre a relação trabalho-educação, destacando a compreensão de projeto histórico, luta de classes e práxis. Os dados foram coletados a partir da análise de documentos e de dois campos empíricos, o curso de Educação Física da UFBA, suas condições de oferecimento e proposições curriculares, e a "Atividade Curricular em Comunidade: Ações Interdisciplinares em Áreas de Reforma Agrária", projeto pedagógico-experimental da UFBA. A análise ocorreu, considerando-se embates, entre governo, docentes, discentes e movimentos sociais, relacionados a projetos de universidade e de formação de professores. Apuraram-se, então, as relações entre geral e específico, segundo três categorias: contradição, possibilidade, totalidade. Na literatura, nos documentos e experiências pedagógicas, reconhecem-se contradições e possibilidades na formação de professores. Na licenciatura, vislumbra-se o trabalho alienado, próprio do modo de produção capitalista, mas não mecanicamente e, sim, mediado por um trabalho pedagógico e pela luta política direcionada, o que é alterável como práxis social. O pressuposto central, por conseguinte, é o de que a formação do professor em Educação Física, marcada por antagonismos de projetos, dá-se na contradição entre teoria e prática, cuja superação passa, necessariamente, pela consideração do trabalho como articulador do conhecimento, ou seja, pela prática qualificada pedagógica, científica e política. A análise dos nexos entre trabalho pedagógico e dada concepção de formação permite verificar a dicotomia entre teoria e prática como principal contradição do processo qualificação-desqualificação da formação. Acrescentam-se as relações entre trabalho coletivo e individual, alienação e "desalienação" e as de autodeterminação como contradições tanto em licenciaturas, em toda a universidade, como em movimentos sociais organizados, o campo da ação pedagógica para a formação dos universitários. Reconhece, enfim, com base na dinâmica do real e no movimento do capital que acentua suas contradições históricas, que a resistência e a prática qualificada pressupõem suas referências no projeto histórico para além do capital, na formação política, na consciência de classe, na organização revolucionária. / Salvador
