A Concept for Inclusive Physical Education Training Program for Future Pre-School and Primary-School Teachers

Author(s): Galena Terzieva / Language(s): English / Issue: 5/2019

The adoption of new normative documents in the field of education in Bulgaria determines the inclusion of children with special educational needs in general education schools. The significant and integral role which physical education plays in the educational process poses the question of the inclusion of children with impairments in motor activity training as well. Teachers implementing it contribute greatly to its positive effects. The main features of physical education include active motor activity and the related physical workload. In order for them to be adapted successfully to the specific needs of children with different disabilities, more specialized training is required. The analysis of the curricula of the faculties of education in Bulgaria shows that future pre-school and primary school teachers who will be responsible for the physical education of children in kindergartens and primary schools respectively do not receive appropriate training in adaptive physical education. The aim of this article is to present a concept for introducing a training programme on “Motor Activity Training and Inclusive Physical Education”, intended for students of the specialty Preschool and Primary School Education at the Faculty of Education, Trakia University, Bulgaria.

A FEAST OF FOOLS: MEALTIMES AS DEMOCRATIC ACTS OF RESISTANCE AND COLLUSION IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Author(s): E. Jayne White / Language(s): English / Issue: 03/2017

In Bakhtin’s (1986) conception of carnivalesque the body, its contents and, by extrapolation, food, play a central role in a communication genre that acts as a form of resistance. As Cresswell and Teucher (2011) explain, the body is ‘an embodied expression of community’ (p. 107) and conveys participatory meaning without the need for mediation. In early childhood education contexts that are typically oriented towards ‘free play,’ mealtimes represent a special opportunity to understand the complex social struggles that take place through acts of the body which are typically located in the ‘underground’ of the educational setting (White, 2014). The ‘feast of fools’ marks out the significance of such events as a form of resistance and collusion between peers which utilise the teachers presence as an opportunity to resist authority and create dialogic tensions accordingly. In such cases the peer group thrives as an unmediated presence in the ‘bonds of brotherhood’ beyond the official, ‘educative’ realm in temporarily suspended moments of joy.

A médiapedagógia lehetőségei a kisgyermekkorban

Author(s): János Timár / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 26/2014

Media education is a rapidly developing new field at the crossroads of psychology, sociology, pedagogy, media research and media theory. It is based on the idea that children’s education is not possible without the knowledge and understanding of their media environment. The basic objective of media education is the development of media literacy. In the process of becoming a social person with self-reliance, it is an important aspect to not only gain an understanding of, but also be able to use media actively and consciously. Developing media literacy is integrated with the education of democratic values. Education package, MOPED, offers a program for early childhood (ages 5–11) media pedagogy, based on the methods of experiential education, which develops skills through experience.

A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF PLASTIC ARTS CLASS UPON THE PLASTIC SKILLS OF PRE-SCHOOLERS

Author(s): Venera-Mihaela Cojocariu,Noemi NASTURAS / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2014

Preparing the child for adult life and socio-professional integration involves the complementary achievement of the desiderata of intellectual, socio-moral, technological, psycho-physical education and, in close connection with these, aesthetic education. The major objectives of aesthetic education at the preschool age imply both the creation of the premises for building aesthetic attitude and the identification and enhancement of the children’s creative skills in all the domains of art, from the literary to the musical, plastic, choreographic and theatrical. Through the experimental study, conducted during the 2013-2014 school year, we have tried to highlight a non-formal way of exploiting the plastic skills of 5-6 years old preschoolers (the Plastic Arts class) as well as its widely formative impact. Besides the results presented in the study, there was also found a series of collateral effects such as the enhancement of artistic sensitivity, improving relationships with classmates, the pre-school teacher and parents, relevant contributions to the socio-moral and intellectual formation.

A vajdasági magyar óvodák helyzetképe az odajáró gyermekek szüleinek tapasztalatai alapján

Author(s): Réka Ágyas / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 2/2018

The kindergartens, as well as most of the minority schools in Vojvodina, are bilingual (Serbian and Hungarian). Education and nursing take place in 136 localities in Vojvodina. The survey presents the situation of Serbian – Hungarian pre-school institutions, based on the opinion of Hungarian parents. In the survey, we examined the motivations of preschool selection, which can be categorized primarily as subjective factors: the personality and sympathy of the teacher, as well as the quality of the pedagogical work. There were objective factors as well, such as the importance of mother tongue education and nursery, or the good physical condition of the facility in a safe area. The parents formulated some development directions, such as the importance of sports and physical education, and playful acquisition of the official and foreign languages (primarily English). The paper highlighted that in Hungarian families the plan of the majority language education hardly appears.

Aberantno ponašanje i kognitivna sposobnost predškolske dece

Author(s): Gustav Bala,Ankica Hošek-Momirovic,Špela Golubovic / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 4/2007

The sample included 712 preschool boys and girls at the age of 4 to 7 years (mean 5.96 decimal years and standard deviation .96) from preschool institutions in Novi Sad, Sombor, Sremska Mitrovica and Bačka Palanka. Information concerning 36 indicators of aberrant behavior of the children were supplied by their parents, whereas their cognitive ability was tested by Raven’s progressive colored matrices. Based on factor analysis (promax method), four factors i.e. generators of aberrant behavior in children were singled out: aggression, anxiousness, dissociation, and hysteria, whose relations with cognitive functioning and age were also analyzed by factor analysis. Aberrant behavior and cognitive abilities show significant interrelatedness. Owing to orderly developed cognitive abilities, a child understands essence and reality of problems, realizes possibilities and manners of solving them, and succeeds in realizing successful psycho-social functioning. Developed cognitive abilities enable a child to recognize and understand her/his own reactions in different situations and develop manners of reacting, which leads to strengthening psycho-social safety and adapting behavior in accordance with her/his age and abilities.

About a Forgotten Newspaper for Children Nasz Głosik [Our Young Voice] (1935-1936)

Author(s): Iwonna MICHALSKA / Language(s): English / Issue: 4 (46)/2017

The subject of the article is a comprehensive summary of the characteristics of a newspaper for children, Our Young Voice, published in the years 1935 – 1936 by the County Department of the Polish Teachers’ Union (Polish: Związek Nauczycielstwa Poliskiego) in Augustów. A monograph of the periodical has not yet been written, and its title hardly ever appears in the register of children’s periodicals. In order to attain that goal, an attempt has been made to answer the following questions: Who prepared the message targeted at its readers? How was this message conveyed? What was its content like? What was its graphic design like? The conducted research concluded that Our Young Voice was a juvenile periodical written by children and for children, which meant that its young readers wrote the vast majority of articles. Stories, accounts, reports, articles and poems as well as puzzles, riddles and brief answers to subscribers’ letters could all be found within the pages of the newspaper. The Augustów periodical as a whole implemented the idea of regionalism by including texts relating to the “small children’s homeland”, which meant concentrating mainly on the history of particular cities, towns and villages of the Augustów-Suwałki region, its specific terrain features and tourist assets, local customs, recently developed ventures and newly established institutions, local schools, and child and youth organisations functioning there. Our Young Voice was targeted at younger and older school children. It was also used as either the main or supplementary material during school lessons.

Acquisition of reading and writing skills – comparative approach between the Montessori method and the traditional educational system

Author(s): Rafila-Elisabeta Ilovan / Language(s): English / Issue: 16/2018

The microstudy presented is a psycho-pedagogical experiment, which consists in applying the Montessori-specific experimental factor to a group of pre-school children in the traditional system. The investigative approach is based on a comparative study, the results obtained being interpreted from both a quantitative and a qualitative point of view. In this paper we started from the premise that Montessori strategies foster the acquisition of reading and writing skills at pre-school age. The general objectives of the investigation are the introduction into the traditional experimental system of alternative methods of acquiring reading-writing skills specific to the Montessori system and the study of the Montessori system for the acquisition of reading and writing skills in methodical terms and from the point of view of the results obtained by applying these strategies.

Adaptation du système scolaire d’éducation en territoires plurilingues : l’instance académique Française face à la situation des enfants allophones scolarisés à l’école primaire

Author(s): Michel DISPAGNE / Language(s): French / Issue: 1(HorsSer)/2019

The article addresses an educational situation experienced by the actors of the education system and schoolchildren in French Guiana. They do not have French as their first language. They are allophones or the language of schooling is French. Teachers are Francophones and do not have mastery of the students' mother tongue. How to adapt teaching in these schools without rejecting mother tongue and French? Academic bodies have gone through a new educational policy, through the use of bilingual speakers in mother tongues and in French. The educational reality being complex, the reflection will progress in a heuristic approach to take the measure of the academic and territorial context subjected to an incessant and important migratory flow. The approach is based on a legal, legislative, experiential and theoretical framework. Some authors, practitioners and theorists have been summoned: Bruner, Piantoni, Meirieu, Heyer, Gauchet, and even more. Surveys were conducted with speakers in the mother tongue. As a result, the reality of the new learning mode in academy schools is in progress. There is a real taking into account of the identity of the students and a familiarization with the French language in the apprenticeships. The pair of teachers and speakers in the mother tongue is a device that works. The surveys reveal that despite the Master-Class system to professionalize them, the ILM do not perceive themselves as sufficiently autonomous for their mission. This reflection reinforced the idea that the reality of the territory remains a complex reality.

Aktivnosti usmjerene osnaživanju nepismenih roditelja romske djece

Author(s): Maja Kutnjak / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1/2016

This paper discusses the relationship between the quality of family environment and the socio-economic status of families with regard to the impact of the impoverished family environment and educational level of parents on the early development of children. In particular it stresses the results of national surveys which indicate that Roma children are one of the most vulnerable groups of children. The paper also presents some practical guidelines for the inclusion of illiterate parents and highlights a number of programs for children of preschool and early school age and their parents from lower SES aimed at encouraging the development of literacy and other cognitive skills in children and empower parents to meet the requirements of their parental role. As one of the initial steps in the process of enhancing the cooperation and empowerment of Roma children’s parents, the paper presents research conducted by teachers and Roma assistants at Tomaš Goričanac Elementary School in Mala Subotica in the Roma settlement of Piškorovec. The main objective of the study was to determine the educational structure and the level of literacy of the adult population in Piškorovec in order to use the results for planning an intervention program which will be based on the assessed needs.
