Gotovnost' sovremennykh roditelei k effektivnoi realizatsii ikh sotsial'noi roli "roditel'" (na primere izucheniia ottsov vospitannikov DOO)

The article reflects the results of experimental testing of the monitoring program, focused on studying the specifics of the manifestation of modern fathers' readiness to effectively implement their most important social role – «parent». Based on the results of research by scientists in the field of parenting (research by V.V. Abramenkova, A.I. Antonov, V.V. Boyko, V.I.Brutman, A.I. Zakharova, S.Yu. Meshcheryakova, R.V. Ovcharova, V.A.Petrovsky, N.Yu. Sinyagina, G.G. Filippova, A.G. Kharcheva; D. Bassin, E. Galinsky, M. Honey, M. Kaplan, etc.) and an experimental monitoring program was implemented, aimed at a detailed study of the readiness of the fathers of our pupils for responsible fatherhood. Having summarized the data obtained by us as a result of the monitoring program, we conclude that only a quarter of dads are responsible for the implementation of the role of «parent». Most fathers need help for raising their children. We define the development and subsequent implementation of the program of psychological and pedagogical support for dads in the upbringing of their children in the practice of preschool educational institutions as the target guidelines for our future activities.

Experimental Program of Monitoring Manifestations of Responsible Paternity in Modern Parents

The article reflects the content and results of the study of responsible parenthood (in particular, responsible fatherhood) among modern parents. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was made up of basic ideas in the field of studying the family as the most important social institution (works of M. Mead, D. Olson, K. Vitaker, A.Ya. Varga, Yu. Khamyalyaynen; V.N. Druzhinina, I. S. Kona, P. S. Lesgaft, A. S. Makarenko, S. Yu. Meshcheryakova, A. B. Orlov, K. D. Ushinsky, A. V. Chernikova and others); parenthood, as the most important social function implemented in the framework of family education (works by G.V. Burmenskaya, E.I. Isenina, I.S. Kona, E.V. Poptsova, E.O. Smirnova, A.S. Spivakovskaya, EG Eidemiller, etc.); motherhood and fatherhood as objective manifestations of parenthood (research by A.I. Antonov, A.Ya. Varga, V.N. Druzhinin, R.Zh. Mukhamedrahimova, L.F. Obukhova, R.V. Ovcharova, A.S. Spivakovskaya, V.V. Stolin, O.A. Shagraeva, L.B.Schneider and others). A generalized analysis of the work of scientists allows us to assume that responsible fatherhood, by which we tend to understand the balance of different styles, types, techniques and technologies of raising a child in integration with a high degree of trust in relations with him, the ability and desire to provide all the conditions necessary for his full , comprehensive and harmonious development, will be formed more efficiently and productively subject to the targeted implementation of the program of psychological and pedagogical support of this process a. The need to develop such a program to support the process of creating responsible paternity was confirmed by the results of our diagnostic study, the course and results of which are presented in this publication.

STUDY OF IDEAS ABOUT RESPONSIBLE FATHERHOOD IN YOUNG PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE THEIR OWN CHILDREN

The problem of studying the ideas of responsible fatherhood in young people aged 18 to 25 years, who do not have their own children has been considered. An empirical study of the existing attitudes towards responsible paternity in young people at this age has been presented. Fatherhood as a dynamic, socio-cultural phenomenon, which has a clear image in every culture, as well as fixed in national traditions and ideas, has been revealed. A projective technique “Unfinished sentences” has been carried out to identify unconscious attitudes to fatherhood, reveal constructive and non-constructive components of these concepts. The aim of the study is to identify ideas about responsible fatherhood in young people in this age group.

A Self-Assessment of a Philadelphia Group of Children, Youth and Family-Focused Agencies on Father Friendliness: A Descriptive Study

This project explored the integration of Responsible Fatherhood within Foster Care Service within Philadelphia Pennsylvania. It was hypothesized that the key to reducing the number of children who are at risk of entering, re-entering and remaining in various systems of care are the social service programs and systems created to meet the needs of children. One element to improve the outcomes for children is to establish that engaging fathers of foster children can be important not only for the potential benefit of a child-father relationship but also for making placement decisions and gaining access to resources for the child. A diverse group of n=22 service providers voluntarily became involved in a multi-year participatory action research to explore the value of building capacity to integrate Responsible Fatherhood practices, programs, and/or initiatives within foster care service delivery and other children and youth servicing systems. The results from the study highlight a substantial distinction between baseline and post-evaluation of the agency’s father readiness. The findings suggest that there were significantly higher scores on the father friendly checklist in the areas of leadership, polices & procedures, staff development, parent programming, and fatherhood. The article summarizes key recommendation for social service agencies to develop initiatives that outreach to fathers not only to connect with their children, but to build a broader support network that enhances child safety, permanency and well-being.
