Design And Application

Numerous studies show the disinterest or the negative evaluation that students have towards the learning of the subject of physics and although this perception is provoked by diverse situations, it can´t be left aside that this affects the motivation of the students and consequently in learning. For this reason the objective of this study was to identify if the use of gamification in the classes influences the motivation of young people and thus be able to encourage them a positive view of the subject of physics, therefore in this investigation implemented a methodology based on gamification which includes the planning, design and application of three games over a semester in which participated 50 students of the subject of Physics II of the Escuela Nacional Colegio de Ciencias y Humanidades plantel Vallejo, obtaining as a result that the use of gamification indicates that it is a motivating element since it provokes a gratifying experience in the students.

Развитие технического творчества учащихся - это базовый элемент воспитания молодежи с инженерным мышлением; оно возможно при органическом единстве основного и дополнительного образования в системе преемственности форм и методов воспитания молодежи со способностями к техническому творчеству. Детский технопарк «Кванториум», получивший активное развитие в настоящее время, стал инновационной моделью реализации задачи государственного масштаба. Требуется глубокий научный анализ феномена детских парков: оценка эффективности педагогических условий для воспитания детей с креативным инженерным мышлением, системой социальных ценностей, воплощенных в образе выпускника образовательного модуля. В рамках настоящей статьи осуществлен краткий анализ педагогических условий развития технического творчества учащихся 5-9 классов, сложившихся в педагогической практике образовательного модуля «Энерджиквантум». Критериями оценки развития творчества детей стали беглость, гибкость, оригинальность мышления. Как показал опыт развития технического творчества учащихся 5-9 классов в Кванториуме, для достижения результата требуется создание специальных педагогических условий. В настоящей статье анализ этих условий и результаты педагогического эксперимента по развитию уровня технического творчества детей систематизированы. The development of children’s technical creativity is the basic element of education of young people with engineering mind-set. It is possible with the organic unity of basic and additional education in the system of continuity of forms and methods of education of young people with an engineering mind frame and skill set. The Quantorium Children’s Technopark, which is currently actively developing, has become an innovative model for the implementation of the national objective. Deep scientific analysis of the phenomenon of children’s parks is required. It is necessary to assess the effectiveness of pedagogical conditions for educating children with creative engineering mind-set. It is important to form a system of social values embodied in the image of an educational module graduate. The article provides a brief analysis of the pedagogical conditions for the development of technical creativity among 5-9 grade pupils established in the pedagogical practice of the educational module «Energiquantum». The criteria for assessing the development of children’s creativity were fluency, flexibility and originality of thinking. The experience of the development of technical creativity among 5-9 grade pupils in the Quantorium has shown that to achieve proper results it is necessary to provide specific pedagogical conditions. The article systematizes the analysis of these conditions and the results of the pedagogical experiment in the development of children’s technical creativity.

Social representations of human rights violations were investigated in a questionnaire study conducted in five countries (Costa Rica, France, Italy, Romania, and Switzerland) (N = 1239 young people). We were able to show that respondents organize their understanding of human rights violations in similar ways across nations. At the same time, systematic variations characterized opinions about human rights violations, and the structure of these variations was similar across national contexts. Differences in definitions of human rights violations were identified by a cluster analysis. A broader definition was related to critical attitudes toward governmental and institutional abuses of power, whereas a more restricted definition was rooted in a fatalistic conception of social reality, approval of social regulations, and greater tolerance for institutional infringements of privacy. An atypical definition was anchored either in a strong rejection of social regulations or in a strong condemnation of immoral individual actions linked with a high tolerance for governmental interference. These findings support the idea that contrasting definitions of human rights coexist and that these definitions are underpinned by a set of beliefs regarding the relationships between individuals and institutions.

Abstract. Background: The Internet is used by young people at risk of self-harm to communicate, find information, and obtain support. Aims: We aimed to identify and analyze websites potentially accessed by these young people. Method: Six search terms, relating to self-harm/suicide and depression, were input into four search engines. Websites were analyzed for access, content/purpose, and tone. Results: In all, 314 websites were included in the analysis. Most could be accessed without restriction. Sites accessed by self-harm/suicide search terms were mostly positive or preventive in tone, whereas sites accessed by the term ways to kill yourself tended to have a negative tone. Information about self-harm methods was common with specific advice on how to self-harm in 15.8% of sites, encouragement of self-harm in 7.0%, and evocative images of self-harm/suicide in 20.7%. Advice on how to get help was given in 56.1% of sites. Conclusion: Websites relating to suicide or self-harm are easily accessed. Many sites are potentially helpful. However, a significant proportion of sites are potentially harmful through normalizing or encouraging self-harm. Enquiry regarding Internet use should be routinely included while assessing young people at risk.

Age At Exposure

Abstract. Background: We investigated the age at exposure to parental suicide and the risk of subsequent suicide completion in young people. The impact of parental and offspring sex was also examined. Method: Using a cohort study design, we linked Taiwan's Birth Registry (1978–1997) with Taiwan's Death Registry (1985–2009) and identified 40,249 children who had experienced maternal suicide (n = 14,431), paternal suicide (n = 26,887), or the suicide of both parents (n = 281). Each exposed child was matched to 10 children of the same sex and birth year whose parents were still alive. This yielded a total of 398,081 children for our non-exposed cohort. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to compare the suicide risk of the exposed and non-exposed groups. Results: Compared with the non-exposed group, offspring who were exposed to parental suicide were 3.91 times (95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.10–4.92 more likely to die by suicide after adjusting for baseline characteristics. The risk of suicide seemed to be lower in older male offspring (HR = 3.94, 95% CI = 2.57–6.06), but higher in older female offspring (HR = 5.30, 95% CI = 3.05–9.22). Stratified analyses based on parental sex revealed similar patterns as the combined analysis. Limitations: As only register-­based data were used, we were not able to explore the impact of variables not contained in the data set, such as the role of mental illness. Conclusion: Our findings suggest a prominent elevation in the risk of suicide among offspring who lost their parents to suicide. The risk elevation differed according to the sex of the afflicted offspring as well as to their age at exposure.

Key Players

A series of six papers on “Youth Development in Europe: Transitions and Identities” has now been published in the European Psychologist throughout 2008 and 2009. The papers aim to make a conceptual contribution to the increasingly important area of productive youth development by focusing on variations and changes in the transition to adulthood and emerging identities. The papers address different aspects of an integrative framework for the study of reciprocal multiple person-environment interactions shaping the pathways to adulthood in the contexts of the family, the school, and social relationships with peers and significant others. Interactions between these key players are shaped by their embeddedness in varied neighborhoods and communities, institutional regulations, and social policies, which in turn are influenced by the wider sociohistorical and cultural context. Young people are active agents, and their development is shaped through reciprocal interactions with these contexts; thus, the developing individual both influences and is influenced by those contexts. Relationship quality and engagement in interactions appears to be a fruitful avenue for a better understanding of how young people adjust to and tackle development to productive adulthood.
