In the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, the scientific research in Europe started focusing more on the problems of upbringing.

2nd and 3rd graders' attitudes towards the English language : attitudes before and after studying English at school

2014

Oppilaat aloittavat Suomessa englannin opiskelun useimmiten 3. luokalla. Englannin kieli on kuitenkin vahvasti läsnä Suomessa esimerkiksi mediassa ja ulkomaalaisten kautta. Monet perheet myös matkustavat ulkomaille. Siksi onkin syytä olettaa, että lapsilla on asenteita englannin kieltä kohtaan jo ennen kuin he aloittavat sen opiskelun koulussa. Asenteilla on suuri merkitys englannin kielen oppimistuloksien kannalta. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia millaisia asenteita lapsilla on englannin kieltä kohtaan 2. luokan keväällä ja kuinka asenteet ovat muuttuneet 3. luokan kevääseen mennessä, kun he ovat opiskelleet englantia suurin piirtein yhden lukuvuoden verran. Tutkimus käsittelee my…

Basic school teachers' attitudes towards inclusive education in Ghana

2011

ABSTRACT Attitudes towards Inclusive Education are extremely complex and vary from one teacher to another. This is because traditionally, children with Special Education Needs (SEN) have been segregated into separate learning environments. This practice is now being questioned by teachers who believe it is an infringement of the rights of children with SEN. The proponents of Inclusive Education (IE) are of the opinion that including students with disabilities into mainstream classrooms would maximise their learning experiences. The present study examined the attitudes of basic school teachers in mainstream classrooms towards Inclusive Education in Ghana. It also assessed the best learning e…

Preliminary evaluation of an analog procedure to assess acceptability of intimate partner violence against women: The Partner Violence Acceptability …

2015

Acceptability of partner violence against women is a risk factor linked to its perpetration, and to public, professionals’ and victims’ responses to this behavior. Research on the acceptability of violence in intimate partner relationships is, however, limited by reliance solely on self-reports that often provide distorted or socially desirable accounts that may misrepresent respondents’ true attitudes. This study presents data on the development and initial validation of a new analog task assessing respondents’ acceptability of physical violence toward women in intimate relationships: the Partner Violence Acceptability Movie task (PVAM). This new analog task is intended to provide a more i…
