Principle of Support & Judgment on contributory portion of special support

This study aims to illuminate preschool teachers describe which occupational groups – preschool teachers and special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs) – claim jurisdiction (i.e. the area that the professional group controls) over the work with children in need of special support. The data consist of interviews with 15 preschool teachers. The analysis is based on Abbott's (1988) division of professional work into three aspects: a) formulation of a problem b) reasoning about the problem and c) treating the problem. One area where preschool teachers claim jurisdictional control is related to the formulation of the problem. When it comes to the aspect of the professional work which concerns reasoning about the problem, the preschool teachers report that SENCOs claim jurisdictional control instead. The results show a less straightforward image of the treatment of the problem. Preschool teachers sometimes report themselves to claim jurisdictional control over treatment and other times report that SENCOs have jurisdiction over the treatment of the problem. In the discussion, jurisdiction is related to the various aspects of professional work with children in need of special support and the issue of inclusion. The fact that SENCOs seem to have a strong jurisdiction over treatment and expert knowledge of children’s perceived shortcomings could contribute to the preschool teachers renouncing responsibility for children in need of special support. Another conclusion is that preschool teachers need to be strengthened in their professional roles and that increased special educational knowledge could contribute to preschool teachers feeling more secure in their professional roles and thus are able to meet all children’s needs in preschool.

Land reform has traditionally had two objectives: equity and productivity. Food insecurity and the need for agriculture to contribute to development emphasise the need to maintain and improve productivity while improving equitability. Land must foster production and agriculture must attract good human material. The following areas need to be considered in policy formulation and delivery: an effective institutional framework involving all the relevant public and private bodies; efficient fiscal planning is essential; potentially successful farmers must be selected and given special support, including extension and adult education; complementary services and infrastructure are needed; prioritisation of functions and land tenure reform is often necessary. In addition, international agricultural markets are very important for Africa. Wealthy nations should cease trade-distorting protection of their own farmers.

The parents’ divorce constitutes a threat to the mental, emotional and social development of the child. Research done hitherto points to direct and deferred negative consequences of divorce for all family members, especially the youngest ones, susceptible to the influence of others – the children. This difficult crisis situation is reflected in the behaviour of the adults who are experiencing it. Adult children of divorcing parents frequently live with the stigma of a child who is rejected and unloved. As a result, they function abnormally in families of their own. It is therefore important to provide special support for the children whose parents have decided to divorce. Family mediation is a good opportunity to settle the material and social situation of these families. Mediation meetings can help parents realize the mistakes they make which arise from very high levels of negative emotions resulting from the break up. This article aims to show the effects of the parents’ divorce on the children and to show specific ways to assist them in overcoming this crisis situation. One of the suggestions of support is the use of therapeutic fairy tales to explain to children the new family situation in which they find themselves. Proceeding from this assumption, the authors of the article decided to gather the opinions of parents and their children about fairy tales about divorce. For this purpose we have employed a questionnaire of our own as well as fairy tales written for children of divorcing parents.

Level Of Aspiration

The chapter is about development of consciousness, emotion, motivation, and level of aspiration, with the ways that people react to the psychological, traumatic experience caused by the gradual realization of incapacity. Some people with an intellectual disability are capable of learning together with normally-developing peers if provided with special support; however, there are others who will need an individual education program adapted to their capabilities. The most important focus in working with such students is the individual approach with regard to the specific mentality and health of each person. Such an approach can be achieved through instructional methods like avatar-based learning as the improved development of project-based learning.
