Особливості державного реформування професійної освіти

The concept of introduction of modern standards of vocational education in the educational process of a higher school on the basis of a competent approach in foreign countries is analyzed. It is revealed that the main idea of the competent approach is competence-oriented education, aimed at the comprehensive assimilation of various knowledge and methods of practical activity through the acquisition of appropriate competences, through which a person successfully implements himself in various fields of his professional activities, acquires social independence, becomes mobile and qualified. In order for vocational education to meet the needs of the labor market, a component of social partnership is being implemented. His key participant is an employer who creates professional standards and helps in the implementation of dual education. In addition, informal and informal education will be recognized within the framework of the social partnership. Improving the quality of education is planned due to the modernization of the educational environment, the involvement of employees in the production and service sectors, the promotion of professional development of teachers of the institution. They will also create the necessary training facilities for people with special educational needs. Considerable attention needs to be given to the problem of reducing the level of motivation of school graduates to receive a pedagogical profession, ineffective work placement systems for graduates of higher pedagogical educational institutions and lack of mobility of the retraining system of teaching staff in accordance with the needs of the labor market. Recently, the level of requirements for the work of the teacher and the burden on him is constantly increasing, and the prestige of the teacher’s work is decreasing; The cooperation of parents and the public with educational collectives of educational institutions remains rather weak. Professional education in Ukraine is carried out in the system of higher and secondary specialized educational institutions: in universities, academies, institutes, colleges, technical schools, technical, pedagogical, medical and art schools. According to many scholars and experts in the educational sector, the system of higher education in the XXI century will be influenced by world trends. Modern higher education departs from the study aimed at the quantitative (ballroom) dimension, the world is interested in what the graduates of the higher educational institution specifically know how to work, which skills and competences were acquired by a higher education student throughout the entire period of study.

Parents' cooperation with the school – assumptions and realities

Exámenes, certámenes y distribución de premios en la ciudad de México y en Veracruz durante los dos primeros tercios del siglo XIX

El artículo da cuenta de las trasformaciones de tres ceremonias escolares, exámenes privados, certámenes públicos y la “solemne distribución de premios”, en la educación superior y en la instrucción primaria del siglo XIX. Estudia cuatro periodos que corren desde finales de la época virreinal hasta la República restaurada, en los espacios geográficos de la ciudad de México y Veracruz. La perspectiva de análisis, para estudiar la reglamentación, la inclusión de diversos sectores educativos y el surgimiento de notas para calificar el aprovechamiento, combina la escolarización y el ritual público. Demuestra que esas ceremonias fueron eficaces en la consolidación del proceso de escolarización decimonónica, en aspectos centrales como el control de los profesores, la cooperación de los padres de familia, la inclusión de sectores marginados, la configuración de mecanismos para calificar el aprovechamiento escolar y la transición del predominio de la oralidad en la educación al examen escrito.

‘The needs of the child have been met’: preliminary assessments regarding domestic violence in Swedish Child Protections Services

ABSTRACTThe Swedish Child Protection Services (CPS) are responsible for providing support and protection to children experiencing domestic violence, but in a high proportion of cases where there is a suspicion that children are experiencing violence, no investigation is opened.The aim of this article is to explore on what grounds decisions were made not to open an investigation in cases initiated due to concerns that a child might have been experiencing domestic violence.The analysis is based on qualitative data consisting of 116 preliminary assessments that resulted in the cases being closed without further action. The analysis uses a theoretical model in which the CPS sorting process is understood as a way of describing a case in such a way that it fits into the organisation’s problem categories, rules and procedures.The analysis shows that a set of institutional assumptions and presuppositions affect the decision to screen out cases involving this form of child abuse. The legal requirement for voluntary parental cooperation has a profound impact on the outcome of a case. Cases are also screened out when the case workers find that parental cooperation is limited. Nor are there procedures for dealing with (psychological) violence that is not aimed directly at the child, but occurs between the parents. The outcome in these cases is that the parents’ interpretation is given precedence, while the needs of the child are seen as of less importance and become deprioritised.

Treatment satisfaction following routine outpatient cognitive-behavioral therapy of adolescents with mental disorders: a triple perspective of patients, parents and therapists.

The present study investigates treatment satisfaction (TS) rated by multiple informants (patient, parent, therapist) following routine outpatient cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) within a large sample (n = 965) of clinically referred adolescents aged 11-20years. Moreover, potential predictors of TS were analyzed (patient-related variables, mental disorder characteristics, socio-demographic factors and treatment variables). Overall, our results show a high treatment satisfaction in patient, parent and therapist ratings, with the therapists being the most critical raters (completely/predominantly satisfied: 87.8% in patient, 92.0% in parent, and 64.0% in therapist ratings). Correlations between the three raters were only small to moderate, but statistically significant. Regression analysis examining differential effects found that mental disorder characteristics (parent- and patient-reported symptoms at post) and treatment variables (especially cooperation of patients and parents as rated by therapists) explained most of the variance in TS, whereas patient-related or socio-demographic variables did not emerge as relevant predictors of TS. The amounts of explained variance were R adj. 2 = 0.594 in therapist rating, R adj. 2 = 0.322 in patient rating and R adj. 2 = 0.203 in parent rating.

Reliability and validity of a newly proposed classification system for categorisation of parental behaviour (CCPB) in the dental setting.

To evaluate the reliability and validity of a newly proposed classification system for categorisation of parental behaviour (CCPB) in the dental setting. Parents of patients aged 5-14years were included. 127 parents were evaluated and rated on two scales: Parental Cooperation Scale (PCS; 1-4) and CCPB (0-5) by two trained examiners during the initial interaction of the parent with the examiners at their first visit in the dental setting. Kappa Score measurement of agreement was used to assess the inter-rater reliability. Spearman's rho correlation was used to assess the correlations between PCS and CCPB. The Kappa score between independent raters was 0.774 (substantial agreement) and Spearman's rho correlation coefficient was 0.778, which was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The CCPB refers to the same domain as the PCS and was found to be a reliable tool to be used in future research.

From Cooperation of Parents and Educators Towards Empowering Partnership

Background. Partnership in this thesis is interpreted as the responsibility of children education which is taken by the members and their activity. The main role of the partners is to organize the environment of preschool education for children to use their prior knowledge and experience to understand new information and meaningful context.Methods. Two questionnaires were included in this research, 191 parents and 199 educators were questioned. Results. Educators and parents generally see the purpose of preschool education institution to stimulate the child’s social and cognitive development (88.9%) and considerably rarely the purpose is related to meeting the natural needs of a child (32.2%). Educators more often than parents thought that it was necessary to strengthen the education of parents in partnership with their children’s education (p &lt; .001). Mutual ambition to collaborate (67.3%), better education of parents (49.2%), the maintenance of permanent connection (41.7%), information exchange (49.7%) and better confidence in each other (45.7%) would be helpful in seeking for more effective cooperation.Conclusions. Only a small percentage of parents understand that preschool education is most important to meet the natural needs of children, create healthy situations for the development of children’s inborn inclinations. Educators are not reoriented enough to the tendencies of nowadays and only one third of them believe in its importance to meet the natural needs of a child. In most cases parents and educators indicated the same factors which might influence empowering of parents and educators for the education cooperation which would develop into to partnership, but the importance of the factors was often different.Keywords: empowering, cooperation, communication, preschool education, partnership.

The Impact of Training Videos on Attitudes About Parenting After Divorce

ABSTRACTMany U.S. states require divorcing parents to take education classes about the impact of divorce on parents and children. As educators, psychiatrists, social workers, and others create these classes, it is important to evaluate what elements of the curriculum are effective in achieving targeted outcomes. Successful Coparenting After Divorce (https://coparenting.fsu.edu) is a free online divorce education course that focuses on issues such as the emotional impact of divorce, conflict reduction, and skills for parental cooperation. The course also includes videos covering topics including examples of negative and positive parental behavior, and testimonials from children. Pilot testing of the videos and the overall course impact with divorcing parents (n = 218) suggested that the videos’ utility were significantly related to the positive change in parents’ perceptions of their relationship with their former spouse, and their child-focused attitudes. Implications for practitioners who design or provide divorce education to parents are discussed.

Demographic causes of adult sex ratio variation and their consequences for parental cooperation

The adult sex ratio (ASR) is a fundamental concept in population biology, sexual selection, and social evolution. However, it remains unclear which demographic processes generate ASR variation and how biases in ASR in turn affect social behaviour. Here, we evaluate the demographic mechanisms shaping ASR and their potential consequences for parental cooperation using detailed survival, fecundity, and behavioural data on 6119 individuals from six wild shorebird populations exhibiting flexible parental strategies. We show that these closely related populations express strikingly different ASRs, despite having similar ecologies and life histories, and that ASR variation is largely driven by sex differences in the apparent survival of juveniles. Furthermore, families in populations with biased ASRs were predominantly tended by a single parent, suggesting that parental cooperation breaks down with unbalanced sex ratios. Taken together, our results indicate that sex biases emerging during early life have profound consequences for social behaviour.

Leading to Student Teachers’ Success or Low Academic Performance

This study aimed to investigate factors that are leading to student teachers’ success, or on the other hand, to low academic performance. It focused on four major thematic areas, including 1) Study planning and time management, 2) Relationship with others, 3) Resources, and 4) Motivation and status of the teaching profession. This study took place at the Eritrea Institute of Technology, College of Education, in Eritrea. A participatory qualitative research design with thematic focus group discussions was used. Three focus group discussions with 24 students were conducted. The data was discussed in the research meetings, arranged, and each researcher was given one thematic area for further analysis. The analysis was conducted as a deductive content analysis where the four themes were leading the analysis process. The study shows that study planning and time management is one of the key elements in successful studies. Additionally, access to relevant study resources facilitates learning. Relationship with the other students, with the teachers and family is either supporting or negatively affecting to the academic performance. This study recommends that teacher education institutions should study more the reasons for their students’ both low and high academic performance. This needs multi-stakeholder approach, meaning engagement and co-operation of parents, teachers, students and governmental and non-governmental administrations.

Sealing Carious Tissue in Primary Teeth Using Crowns: The Hall Technique.

In line with reducing the invasiveness of interventions in permanent teeth and changes towards more biological approaches, there have also been moves away from traditional restorative approaches to managing primary teeth where carious dentine/lesions were completely excised and a restoration placed. The Hall Technique is a method for managing carious primary molar teeth where a preformed stainless-steel crown, also known as a preformed metal crown, is seated over a tooth, sealing in, and not removing carious tissue. This chapter discusses the rationale behind the Hall Technique, an outline of the clinical procedure to carry it out, its indications and contraindications, together with the evidence supporting its use. The Hall Technique has been found to be acceptable to children and preferred to more invasive treatment options. Like all dental treatment options, it requires careful case selection, precise carious lesion and pulpal status diagnosis (clinically and radiographically), good patient management, and excellent parental cooperation. The Hall Technique has been shown to be a durable (being likely to last the lifespan of the primary molar) and economical management option for primary molars with carious lesions, which in addition offers the benefit of full coronal coverage, reducing the risk of future carious lesion development. As part of our everyday armamentarium in paediatric dentistry, the Hall Technique is an effective management option for controlling carious lesions in primary molars.

ECDE TEACHERS TRAINING AND ITS EFFECT ON LEARNING IN SELECTED PRE-SCHOOLS CENTRES IN WEST POKOT COUNTY, KENYA

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of Early Childhood Development (ECD) teacher training on learning process in classrooms in Kanyarkwat Zone, West Pokot County, Kenya. A descriptive survey research paradigm was used. The study was conducted in 14 ECD centres within the division. A sample size of 42 ECDE teachers was selected. All the head teachers of the selected ECDCs participated. The teachers were selected through simple random sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires, interview and observation schedules. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and presented thematically. It emerged that policy framework governing ECDE programme in Kenya was not being fully practiced in the zone. Most teachers had a certificate while a few had a diploma in ECDE. The training content was sufficient to make teachers competent. However, majority had never attended refresher courses since training. Moreover, most teachers did not enjoy harmonized terms and conditions of services, though the conditions of services were emphasized during inspection by DQASOs. The study recommended facilitation of ECDE teachers by educational officers, cooperation of parents, administration, community leaders and MOE to improve the working conditions of ECDE teachers.

Pre-School Educational Institutions and Family Interaction in the System of Pre-School Education in Ukraine and Poland

AbstractThe problem of the relationship between a child's institution and a family that acquires a new social significance has been considered. It has been defined that for the current level and pace of civilization development, cooperation with the pupils’ families goes beyond the educators’ implementation of the traditional social order for supervision, education and training of children. Parents themselves show an increasing desire not to passively observe the process of raising their child in a preschool institution, but to be an active participant. The cooperation of parents and educators as partners in the child's upbringing is a stable and expressive tendency of modern preschool functioning. It has been substantiated that modern teachers of pre-school establishments need a thorough preparation that will allow them not only to implement innovative approaches to the education and child's upbringing, but also to involve parents in this process, create conditions for fruitful constructive cooperation with the family. Polish experience can serve as an important source for future teachers to prepare for cooperation with the child's family on a qualitatively new level. In Poland there are peculiar standards of good quality work of kindergarten, including fruitful cooperation between parents and teachers. Integration of a kindergarten with the child's home is a necessity of modern preschool education in the context of caring for a child. It has been established that the use of the “partnership” concept, which means social intercourse based on the equality and voluntariness of partners, is traditionally used in relation to the work of a pre-school institution with parents in Poland. The conditions of the partnership of a preschool institution and a family in the child’s upbringing have been revealed, its basic principles (mutual trust, mutual recognition of rights and competence, integration of actions, mutual loyalty) have been analyzed.

The involvement of parents in the activities of pre-school educational institutions positively affects children's learning achievements, mental health, social relations with others, and helps teachers to solve educational problems more effectively. The purpose of this study is to reveal the possibilities of parental involvement in a pre-school educational institution. The study examines the causes of parental involvement in the educational institution, the reasons for the involvement of parents in the pre-school educational institution, and the ways of parents' assistance to educators in the process of education. Parental communication between forms and parental cooperation has been revealed. Standardised interview was applied for the research (for gathering empiric research data) and content analysis (empiric data analysis). Parents of the children attending pre-school education establishments participated in the research. The obtained results allowed making concrete conclusions about the possibilities of parental involvement in pre-school educational institutions. Keywords: parent involvement, teachers` and parents` cooperation, parent cooperation, pre-school educational institution.

Too much parental cooperation? Parent–teacher cooperation and how it influences professional responsibility among Danish schoolteachers

Parental participation is a fundamental principle of the Danish folkeskole (for children aged 6–16), yet this article explores how too much parental cooperation influences the relationship of teachers to their professional responsibility. The majority of research on parent–teacher cooperation has focused on parents’ opportunities to participate in school life, but little is known about what teachers think about such collaboration, and how imbalances in power and authority in parent–teacher cooperation influence teachers’ professionalism. The use of reflexive autoethnographic accounts, participant observation and document analysis during a four-year period in one school provided emic insight into the, often invisible, social processes of power. Semi-structured interviews with teachers in a second school were also conducted. Drawing on a body of interrelated work focusing on Bourdieu, situated learning theory and literature about professional studies, the findings suggest that parent–teacher communities can be understood as stratified fields which provide different and complex spaces for exerting power and domination. Although power in these communities is constantly negotiated, professional responsibility may be lost when parents occupy central positions in parent–teacher collaborations.

EFEKTIVITAS KERJASAMA GURU DAN ORANG TUA DALAM MENDUKUNG PEMBELAJARAN BACA AL-QURAN ANAK DI SD IT NURUL ISHLAH BANDA ACEH

Cooperation of teacher-parents is essential in stimulating the development of children’s abilities, especially the ability to read the Quran. This research focuses on: (1) What are the forms of cooperation of teachers-parents in supporting students’ learning of reading the Quran at the Integrated Islamic Primary School SDIT Nurul Ishlah, Banda Aceh; (2) How is the effectiveness of the cooperation of teacher-parents in supporting students’ learning of reading the Quran at the school? (3) What are the obstacles encountered in the implementation of the cooperation of teachers and parents? This is by nature mixed research. Observations, interviews, questionnaires, and document analysis were used in collecting data. The data were analyzed descriptively. The results show that there have been many kinds of collaborative efforts of teacher-parents, such as meeting of teacher-parents, seminars of parenting, monitoring book of the students’ tahsīn/tahfīẓ of the Quran, personal communication, and parents’ participation in learning to read the Quran at home. All these have been effective. Nevertheless, some constraints exist in the implementation of the cooperation, including the lack of attention and concern of some parents, and the lack of facilities and infrastructure that support the programs.

Estimating adult sex ratios in nature.

Adult sex ratio (ASR, the proportion of males in the adult population) is a central concept in population and evolutionary biology, and is also emerging as a major factor influencing mate choice, pair bonding and parental cooperation in both human and non-human societies. However, estimating ASR is fraught with difficulties stemming from the effects of spatial and temporal variation in the numbers of males and females, and detection/capture probabilities that differ between the sexes. Here, we critically evaluate methods for estimating ASR in wild animal populations, reviewing how recent statistical advances can be applied to handle some of these challenges. We review methods that directly account for detection differences between the sexes using counts of unmarked individuals (observed, trapped or killed) and counts of marked individuals using mark-recapture models. We review a third class of methods that do not directly sample the number of males and females, but instead estimate the sex ratio indirectly using relationships that emerge from demographic measures, such as survival, age structure, reproduction and assumed dynamics. We recommend that detection-based methods be used for estimating ASR in most situations, and point out that studies are needed that compare different ASR estimation methods and control for sex differences in dispersal.This article is part of the themed issue 'Adult sex ratios and reproductive decisions: a critical re-examination of sex differences in human and animal societies'.
