This study qualitatively examined the congruence between anticipated and experienced stressors and coping, and approaches to coping by elite adolescent swimmers across a competitive season. Eight swimmers were interviewed before and after 4 swim meets in a season. Data collection and analysis were guided by theories of stress and coping. Accuracy of anticipating stressors was low, and the stressors and coping strategies were variable across the season. Idiographic profiles were created for each athlete and grouped according to similar characteristics. Three groups included athletes who (a) generally perceived stressors as something to be avoided, (b) generally perceived stressors as problems to be solved, or (c) generally perceived swimming as fun and minimally stressful. These patterns appeared to be associated with anticipating stressors, highlighting the complex and dynamic nature of stress and coping among adolescent athletes.

In this article the status of teaching as a profession and the morale of teachers in Australian schools in the current era provide a framework for the examination of the intent and outcomes of teaching excellence awards. The research study applied an interpretive research paradigm and used both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. The methodology and the theoretical framework were based on organisational and sociological paradigms. Data informing the study were collected from 44 award recipients and 57 of their colleagues between the years 2000 and 2002. Documentation relating to the promotion and process of awards was also examined. The introduction of teaching excellence awards into the school education sector is found to be a reflection of the economic era in which the current education system is situated. The paper concludes that the awards process may be potentially politically manipulative.

In this chapter, the authors investigate the issue of gathering network-related social data by means of both qualitative and quantitative methodology. An overview of the most relevant visual approaches such as network pictures and different kinds of network maps (“paper and pencil”, “paper, pen, and tokens,” and “digital network maps”) will be given, including an example of a migration study in which a network survey was carried out with the aid of the software program VennMaker. Finally, the authors discuss the advantages and disadvantages of data collection based on digital network maps and make suggestions for future research.

Összefoglaló. Az elmúlt évtizedekben a nemzetközi megközelítésben használt sajátos nevelési igény fogalma átalakult, kiszélesedett. Ezzel együtt az együttnevelés kezdetben a különböző fogyatékos tanulókra terjedt ki, ma már több csoportot is magába foglal, és a vonatkozó szabályok az Európai Unió tagországaiban is különbözőek. Az uniós célkitűzéseknek megfelelően több ország oktatási rendszerében egyre nagyobb körben van jelen az inklúzió, ami sok elemében hasonló, némely vonatkozásban pedig különböző lehet. A szemléletmód változása hatással van a problémák azonosítására is. Írásunk az európai adatgyűjtés kvalitatív és kvantitatív adatait, valamint a hazai folyamatokat mutatja be. Summary. In recent decades, the concept of special educational needs used in the international literature has changed and expanded. Conceptual approach to inclusion initially covered students with different disabilities, now it includes several other groups, and the relevant regulations also differ from one member state of the European Union to another. In line with EU objectives, inclusion in the education systems of several countries is increasing, which is similar in many aspects and may differ in some other aspects. Changing conceptual approaches also have an impact on problem identification. Our paper gives an overview of qualitative and quantitative data of European data collection, as well as presents the proper Hungarian processes.
