The One

Film and media education in the case of preschool-age-children is a particularly complicated matter. There are many different factors, including the question of methodology, challenges which stem from the learning abilities and skills of young children that should be discussed. The article on the one hand tries to indicate the main obstacle that preschool audiovisual education in Poland deals with. But on the other hand it presents and describes as a case study the New Horizons Association projects dedicated to children age 3–7. As the New Horizons are a nongovernmental organisation, the kind of solution they propose does not solve all the problems and is limited and restricted. In the final part of the article I critically try to refer to, what is still for many, an exceptional proposition.

Figurative Thinking

The main premise of the study is the objective need to find new means for the development of children’s personality in the modern educational process. Scientific and technological progress, the active use of technology and gadgets by children, even young children, the expansion of the use of distance learning and communication, artificial intelligence, and social networks are the realities in which we already live. Therefore, high relevance is gained by the means that are based on information technologies on the one hand but have the potential for the development of children’s personality on the other. What can be considered as one such instrument is animation creativity of children that involves the process of children jointly composing, creating, and discussing a cartoon of their own making. The assumption of the potential effectiveness of animation creativity as a means of developing children’s giftedness is based on the fact that in the process of joint creation of a cartoon, children show and develop several abilities as they create the script, images of characters, their characters and appearances, as they are involved in filming, montage, editing, as well as the presentation and promotion of the finished animated film. Children interact with one another and with technical devices, learn to listen to and hear each other, substantiate their opinion, carry the responsibility for collective work, distribute responsibilities between each other, and bring the creative idea to fruition in the finished product. The goal of the study is to conduct an empirical study to determine the effect of the author’s children’s animation technique on the development of figurative thinking in older preschool-age children. Methods: observation, conversation, measurement, creative tasks, comparative analysis of experimental data.

Social investments are important for a child’s development and future success. Parental leaves and Early Childhood Education and Care services (ECEC) are among main forms of social investment, contributing to child poverty reduction and increasing equality, as well as underpinning the potential for skilled workers in the future. The aim of the paper is to analyse availability of the main forms of social investment in preschool age children - early childhood education services and parental leaves, in Vidzeme region (Latvia) for a case study. An analysis of policy documents, parents’ surveys at pre-school institutions, interviews with education institution representatives and local authorities regarding education and social matters were conducted in the research. The support system for parents is still dominated by the “passive” form of support system. However, social investment policies are becoming increasingly more important. This is achieved by supporting parents' access to social investment services and by increasing the amount of parental leave benefits. In 2013-2015 funding for child-care and family policy has increased. Expenditure growth was mostly affected by an increase in the allowance for childcare and the minimum parental allowance. The availability of ECEC is moderate, but since 2009 private institutions and since 2013 babysitting services have been co-funded at the national level till May 31, 2016 to improve it. Since September 2015 a 3-year innovative project “Vouchers for the provision of child minder services to workers with nonstandard work schedules” has been introduced too, to promote parental employment and work and family balance. In Vidzeme region, for example, service availability is additionally stimulated by free transport services, ECEC fee discounts for poor, low-income and large families, etc. Results show that the availability of ECEC has been improved and there has been signs of positive changes in children’s development. Nevertheless, the availability of ECEC is moderate, and in some poorer municipalities in Latvia Matthew effects can be spotted – the middle and highest strata of society use services to a higher extend then the low-income society.

Introducción. El objetivo de esta investigación, realizada en 2010, es el estudio comparativo del ajuste psicosocial de los niños en edad preescolar de familias divorciadas y nucleares, en la guardería.Método. La muestra del estudio consistió de 60 estudiantes (edad media = 5,21), 30 niños en edad preescolar de padres divorciados y 30 niños en edad preescolar de familias nucleares que están matriculados en guarderías públicas. Los maestros preescolar de los alumnos fueron entrevistados y respondieron a las preguntas con respecto a la adaptación escolar de los niños. Por otra parte, los niños dibujaron una familia imaginaria en el marco de la Prueba de la Familia.Resultados. Los resultados demostraron que ambos grupos no difieren en cuanto a la adaptación escolar, las habilidades sociales y el rendimiento escolar en general, sino que aparecieron correlaciones significativas entre la calidad de las relaciones interpersonales y el rendimiento escolar, y la forma de la familia y la aparición de problemas emocionales y / o problemas de comportamiento. En último lugar, el análisis de los dibujos de los niños a mano, mostraron diferenciación significativa entre de los dos grupos de la muestra.Discusión. Los resultados del presente estudio confirman el valor de dibujo para niños y en especial de la prueba de la familia como una herramienta de diagnóstico y de evaluación de la potencia de las relaciones intrafamiliares y las representaciones que el niño ha formado sobre su familia. La guardería contemporánea, que apunta al desarrollo cognitivo, social y emocional de los niños, debe apoyar a estos niños, que, en esta edad tierna, se enfrentan a situaciones difíciles en la vida. Se requieren el trabajo constante y el esfuerzo para mejorar el trabajo de los maestros de preescolar, el desarollo de programas educativos preescolares y la prestación de ayuda a tantos niños como sea posible, independientemente de las condiciones y circunstancias. El jardín de la infancia y la escuela primaria podrían ofrecer “capacidades más bien que inhabilidades” para los niños de todas las clases sociales y contexto familiar, ya que no podemos olvidar que la adaptación de los niños y el éxito en la escuela están estrechamente relacionadas con su bienestar social y emocional.

The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is a screening instrument that addresses positive and negative behavioral attributes of children and adolescents. Although this questionnaire has been used in Germany to gather information from parents and teachers of preschoolers, few studies exist that verify the validity of the German SDQ for this age. In the present study, teacher ratings were collected for 282 children aged 36 to 60 months (boys = 156; girls = 126). Likewise, teacher ratings were collected with another German checklist for behavior problems and behavior disorders at preschool age (Verhaltensbeurteilungsbogen für Vorschulkinder, VBV 3–6). Moreover, children’s developmental status was assessed. Evaluation included correlation analysis as well as canonical correlation analysis to assess the multivariate relationship between the set of SDQ variables and the set of VBV variables. Discriminant analyses were used to clarify which SDQ variables are useful to differentiate between children with or without developmental delay in a multivariate model. The results of correlation and discriminant analyses underline the validity of the SDQ for preschoolers. According to these results, the German teacher SDQ is recommended as a convenient and valid screening instrument to assess positive and negative behavior of preschool age children.
