Samopoczucie ucznia w szkole decyduje o jego sukcesie edukacyjnym oraz funkcjonowaniu w grupie rówieśników w przestrzeni szkoły.  Celem niniejszego artykułu stało się wskazanie na  możliwość wykorzystania  koncepcji dobrobytu Erika Allardta dla określenia wymiarów samopoczucia ucznia w szkole przy uwzględnieniu kontekstów środowiskowych. Wyodrębniono wskaźniki samopoczucia ucznia, umocowane w systemie ekologicznym Bronfenbrennera, które pozwolą na określenie interesującego badawczo przedmiotu.            Nie można pominąć osobistej oceny sytuacji szkolnej w kontekście indywidualnych preferencji, skoro samopoczucie rzutuje na realizację wyzwań związanych z różnorodnymi zadaniami edukacyjnymi. Właściwe rozpoznanie trudności pozwala na wkroczenie z działaniem interwencyjnym w te miejsca, które wymagają naprawy.            Zaproponowane wskaźniki samopoczucia mogą służyć jako itemy zastosowane w badaniach kwestionariuszowych. Pozwalają na wielopłaszczyznowy ogląd uwarunkowań, wpływających na odczucie dobrostanu ucznia. Właściwe rozpoznanie problemu daje szansę podjęcia działań korekcyjnych.

American Racism

American racism is deeply engrained in the nation’s ecology including its chronosystem and contributes to the nation’s unavoidably shared vulnerability. Interrogating an accurate portrayal of the nation’s history is informative for securing anti-racist research. This special issue commentary discusses the role of Spencer’s phenomenological variant of ecological systems theory (PVEST) as a means of providing an epistemic framing for disentangling and directly addressing the problem of structural racism in the conduct of science. Additionally it demonstrates the efficacy of PVEST and offers conclusions as opportunities for achieving anti-racist scholarship especially significant to adolescents’ well-being and the improved conduct of developmental science.

AbstractCancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and is expected to remain a public health concern for years to come. Within Latin America, Uruguay has the highest colorectal cancer rates. Heeding past calls to action, in this article we provide a critical assessment of colorectal cancer needs and opportunities in Uruguay with a focus on developing a roadmap for future action. First, we provide an overview of risk factors, screening procedures and guidelines, and screening rates. Next, we provide an overview of psychosocial factors that influence colorectal cancer screening, with the goal of providing guidance for future behavioral health promotion initiatives in Uruguay. In this effort, we present four conceptual models that may be used for interventions: the ecological systems theory, informed decision-making, the health beliefs model, and the health literacy model. Subsequently, we propose using an integrated model based on the ecological systems theory and health literacy model to develop national, local, and community-based interventions to increase screening rates and lower the colorectal cancer burden in Uruguay. We close the paper with a summary and implications section, including recommendations for future research programs focused on the assessment of factors that influence screening.

The paper explores the current situation with remote teaching in schools in Brazil from the perspective of ecological systems theory and school ecosystem. The situation is analysed from the viewpoints of the main stakeholders: children, parents, teachers and school managers. The author describes typical questions that the stakeholders raise in Brazil and offers answers. Advice is also offered on what can be done by the stakeholders to keep the ecosystem balanced.
