The Interaction between Theory and Practice in Social Pedagogy: Α European Campaign and an Interactive Social Pedagogical Tool against Bullying in Schools

Bullying is a phenomenon that has intensively concerned the scientific community over the last decades. A lot of research has been undertaken about this phenomenon, and a variety of actions have been planned and developed by state services as well as non-governmental organisations both at a level of prevention and management. The Smile of the Child is a recognised and certified NGO in Greece which, since 1996, has developed a wide range of social pedagogical actions concerning children’s problems, particularly child abuse and neglect, school and cyber bullying, missing and exploited children as well as health and welfare issues. The first part of the present article refers to the results in Greece, in the time of crisis, of a pan-European survey conducted in 2011 and 2012 and coordinated by The Smile of the Child . The second part of the article presents a European social pedagogy oriented interactive educational tool tackling bullying. All data derived from the survey and the educational tool itself are available at www.e-abc.eu .

First Year Of Life

A program of prenatal and infancy home visitation by nurses was tested as a method of preventing a wide range of health and developmental problems in children born to primiparas who were either teenagers, unmarried, or of low socioeconomic status. Among the women at highest risk for care-giving dysfunction, those who were visited by a nurse had fewer instances of verified child abuse and neglect during the first 2 years of their children's lives (P = .07); they were observed in their homes to restrict and punish their children less frequently, and they provided more appropriate play materials; their babies were seen in the emergency room less frequently during the first year of life. During the second year of life, the babies of all nurse-visited women, regardless of the families' risk status, were seen in the emergency room fewer times, and they were seen by physicians less frequently for accidents and poisonings than comparison group babies (P ≤ .05 for all findings, except where indicated.) Treatment differences for child abuse and neglect and emergency room visits were more significant among women who had a lower sense of control over their lives.

Pedagogy Development

My main interest in the field of social pedagogy is investigating the link between theory and practice. I will address this topic in the present article, which is a revised version of my presentation at the Social Pedagogy Development Network conference in Sligo, Ireland in May of 2012. That presentation as well as this article draws from my book Sosialpedagogisk praksis (trans. Social Pedagogy Practice), currently being translated into English scheduled for publication March 2013 in the UK by Policy Press ( Storø, 2013 ).

Insight Into

The presented volume includes articles by authors from Czech, India, Greece, Sweden and Poland. They provide us with different aspects of social pedagogy and social issues in relation to education, law and social work. These are analytical and empirical papers conducted with a wide range of methodologies, for example, research based on surveys, legal acts analysis, ethnographic fieldwork and case studies. While discussing the issues, the authors represent the specific social and cultural backgrounds at the same time being aware of global contexts. What connects all these papers is the attitude of their authors, their pedagogical sensitivity and critical awareness in reflecting on theory and practice of social sciences. We have been collecting these articles since the beginning of 2019. With these six contributions, the Readers are offered an insight into the current state of discussion on particular topics from different perspectives. I hope you enjoy a read.
