The purpose of this study is to identify the main characteristics of educational practices which affect negatively the child’s emotional development. The aim of punishment is for the undesired behaviours not to be committed again. Even if this type of intervention has some behavioural immediate consequences, the influence on child’s profound personality structure is a long term effect. Feelings as fear and regret are mutually exclusive emotions. This is why the child domination strategies don’t determine a real behavioural change. But because of parents’ too strong emotions they determine strong disciplinary interventions subscribed in maltreatment area. The destructive impact of maltreatment on child development is discussed and the involved factors are presented in order to delineate the area of alienating disciplinary practices.

The theoretical analysis of psychological and social characteristics of motivation, motives' transformation, motivators, processes of demotivation and re-motivation in personality's professional activities and their impact on one's career was made in the article. We use the term motivation to explain the psychological development, impact on career, self-realization, which combines efficiency and passivity, initiative and stagnation of personality. We assume that professional crises, professional maladjustment, emotional exhaustion, fatigue and other phenomena that can lead to dissatisfaction with the activities, excitation and emotional tension which provoke internal and external conflicts - are psychological causes of demotivation. Therefore, unfavorable social-economic situation, difficulties in self-fulfillment up to the deterioration of interpersonal relationships and psychological climate in the team, insufficient moral and material stimulation, etc. - are social causes of demotivation. Re-motivation is a system of measures aimed at motivation restoration. It helps to ensure additional support for the self-development in everyday and professional situations.

The focus of the present study is on students' metacognitive knowledge, strategies and experiences involved in learning. Due to the complexity of the construct, the literature on metacognition promoted a proliferation of senses and approaches. The paper presents a model in which specific levels of generalization of the construct of metacognition are differentiated. Based on their level of generalization, the clusters of metacognition are located in a hierarchical structure. Two main constructs are differentiated: metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive management. Each cluster unfolds three different interrelated factors: knowledge on persons, on strategies, and on tasks, in the case of metacognitive knowledge cluster, and metacognitive strategies, metacognitive monitoring and control, regulation and self-evaluation, for the cluster of metacognitive management. The theoretical model was empirically tested on a sample of 575 Romanian students in upper secondary education. Structural equation modeling was conducted to test the fitting of the model. Methodological implications and directions for future research are discussed.

As socially active persons, we are inevitably part of various groups which facilitate the activities that we carry out daily. Our personal attitude within the group that we belong to can influence the group activities in a positive or in a negative way, or it is possible that our influence on the group be insignificant or negligible. Belonging to various groups and social categories gives the person a social identity, which is always built in terms of a comparison or an analogy with other persons or groups. Building an identity means determining similarities and differences in a conceptualised environment through the unconditional intervention of the categorization process. This research project aims at investigating the manner in which the individual characteristics of a person influence the characteristics of the group he/she belongs to, as well as the connections established among the group members, in terms of group activity.

This study aims to highlight the most frequent factors that determine the educational interventions to exceed into disciplinary excesses. Explanatory models are presented including social factors, parental personality characteristics and child emotional factors. In the maltreatment etiological equation the parent or educator psychological personality represents a strong determinant. Attachment, defined as an emotional relationship between parent and child, has also profound influences in maltreatment phenomenon. The key factors involved in the development of attachment are considered to be mainly the responsibility of the adult to signals transmitted by the child (modulating arousal) and the various interactions initiated by the adult (stimulation). Child maltreatment involves risk factors correlated with attachment problems, but also with interference of ego organization and the poor integration of cognitive, social, emotional and motivational dimensions of behaviour.

The article deals with the means of preventing professional psychological disorders. The social-psychological phenomenon of self-presentation is viewed as the personal structure which takes part in personal interactions and defines the mode person interprets the data taken from the social environment and the personal data transmitted back to the environment. Variety of presentational images includes everyday interactions, professional presentation and quite recent phenomenon of social networks' communication. We presume that self-presentation has to be analysed as an interpersonal structure or an explanation scheme of the way person deals with information. Nowadays occupational stresses, psychological break downs and burning out are very common, mainly due to the changes of the social-psychological environment and processes of information exchange. The named changes are peculiar features of modern society and can be classified as interpersonal information processing disorders, because they have incorrect data processing as their common feature. We suppose that forming an adequate picture of oneself and understanding the true meaning of the data taken from the environment are the necessary premises of effective self-presentation construction. And effective self-presentation is the basis for person's ability to prevent interpersonal information processing disorders. Besides it is supposed that profound research of the self-presentation structure can show the ways of effective prevention of interpersonal information processing disorders. Basic interrelations between given phenomena are discussed on the grounds of social-psychological discourse.

Overweight in children is a current issue in Romania. The long term consequences are numerous and serious. Therefore, a nutritional assessment in school is required in order to identify weight problems for students and prevent overweight.We evaluated 16 students aged between 10 and 12 years old (5th grade). The study was made in two directions: anthropometric assessment (BMI percentile) and nutritional assessment (food frequency questionnaire). Then we developed nutrition lessons adapting the learning contents to the intellectual and age characteristics of pupils. Among 16 students evaluated, one student was underweight, 10 students were normal weight, 4 students are overweight and one student was obese. Nutrition evaluation revealed that most students eat fast food almost daily, they use the computer or TV at least an hour per day and they are not choosing healthy food. At the parent-teacher meeting were presented the findings. We explained that it is necessary to consult a nutritionist who could recommended a complete program for weight control. Overweight is the result of unbalanced diet and lack of exercise. To prevent childhood obesity it is necessary a collaboration between parents, teachers and nutritionists for nutrition education activities.

Starting from the premises that there are a multitude of didactic methods to teach entrepreneurship, we elaborated two questionnaires, to which a number of 395 pupils and 35 high school teachers answered. The aim of the present research was to identify how to grow the efficacy of the teaching-learning process of the entrepreneurial disciplines. The research shows that students are interested in entrepreneurial education, are innovative and ambitious, determined to do something new, have the desire to show that they can be leaders, and they are perseverant… What student aspects must be developed? Can this discipline develop in the future, in the context of the raised interest of the teachers and students for teaching-learning entrepreneurship? Learning/teaching entrepreneurship must become more effective so that the results can be quantified in the number of graduates who will become entrepreneurs.
