Physical activity and motor competence in 4-8-year old children : results of a family-based cluster-randomized controlled physical activity trial
2016
This thesis addresses the following research questions: 1) what are the intensities of physical activities that are typically considered to develop motor competence in children, 2) how is accelerometer-derived physical activity (PA) associated with motor competence (MC), 3) what is the effect of family-based PA counseling on children’s PA and MC, and 4) does initial parental support of a child’s PA moderate the counseling effect on the child’s PA? Participants consisted of a total of 126 apparently typically developing children aged 4 to 8 attending childcare or primary school. PA was measured with triaxial accelerometers, MC with the Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (KTK) test (Kiphard &…
Dzieci polskich imigrantów w Norwegii. Kwestie adaptacyjne i tożsamościowe
2016
W niniejszym tekście zaprezentowano wybrane problemy dotyczące dzieci imigrantów. Podstawę stanowiły badania prowadzone wśród dzieci polskich imigrantów w Norwegii. Objęto nimi rodziny pochodzące z jednego regionu, a mianowicie z województwa opolskiego. Miały one na celu ukazanie procesu przystosowania się dzieci do nowego środowiska szkolnego. Ważnym problemem było przygotowanie się do wyjazdu dzieci i ich rodzin, łącznie z nauką języka, rozpoznaniem specyfiki kraju migracji, istotny był również początkowy okres pobytu w kraju przyjmującym. Pokazano, jak na proces adaptacji dzieci w nowej rzeczywistości miały wpływ sposoby odnoszenia się do nich rówieśników i innych reprezentantów nowego k…
Predictors of foster father’s engagement in foster family homes
2021
Tło badań: Ojcostwo zastępcze jest niewątpliwie szczególnym rodzajem ojcostwa, ponieważ mężczyzna, często będąc już mężem i ojcem swych biologicznych dzieci, podejmuje decyzję o odgrywaniu roli ojca zastępczego. Pełnienie roli ojca zastępczego wymaga wysokiego poziomu zaangażowania w realizację działań opiekuńczo-wychowawczych oraz kompensacyjnych, które z kolei wymagają ciągłego podnoszenia kompetencji w zakresie pracy z dzieckiem osieroconym. Cel badań: Poznanie czynników warunkujących poziom zaangażowania ojców zastępczych w realizację rodzicielskiej działalności w rodzinnych domach dziecka w wymiarze zarówno globalnym, jak i parcjalnym. Metoda badawcza: W badaniach zastosowano metodę so…
Non-abusing mothers’ agency after disclosure of the child’s extra-familial sexual abuse
2020
This qualitative study analysed the agency of eight non-abusing mothers in the Turkish Cypriot Community after disclosure that their child had been sexually abused by someone outside the family. The aim was to discover how, after disclosure, such mothers act to protect their children in the contexts of their family and community. The data were gathered via semi-structured in-depth interviews and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). In the nuclear family context, maternal agency emerged in the form of motherhood skills, including emotionally supporting the abused child, double-checking the child’s safety or limiting the child’s mobility, and controlling the actions…

Children's Temperament and Academic Skill Development During First Grade: Teachers' Interaction Styles as Mediators.
2015
The present study followed 156 Finnish children (Mage = 7.25 years) during the first grade of primary school to examine to what extent parent- and teacher-rated temperament impacts children's math and reading skill development during the first grade, and the extent to which this impact would be mediated by teachers' interaction styles with the children. The results showed that the impact of children's low task orientation and negative emotionality on their math skill development was mediated via teachers' behavioral control and, among girls, also by psychological control. The negative impact of children's inhibition on math skill development, in turn, was not mediated via teachers' interact…
Family and work-related risk factors in children's social–emotional well-being and parent–educator cooperation in flexibly scheduled early childhood …
2023
Non-standard work schedules (NSWS) have become typical, but their associations with childcare arrangements and children's well-being are unknown. This study explores how risk factors are associated with the social–emotional well-being of girls and boys using flexibly scheduled early childhood education and care. Furthermore, the study investigates whether well-functioning cooperation between parents and educators buffers the negative effects of the risk factors. This study, which is a part of a larger survey carried out in three European countries, reports Finnish parents' (N = 146) perspectives. The results showed that high parental stress was associated with low child well-being. Strong p…
Strategie innovative per la formazione dei futuri docenti
2017
La ricerca si propone di individuare un modello di acquisizione della competenza digitale e delle 4C (communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking) degli studenti del Corso di Laurea di Scienze della Formazione Primaria in vista di un reale sviluppo professionale. Si è ipotizzato che l’utilizzo del modello flipped classroom anche nella didattica universitaria possa rappresentare una valida proposta nella formazione dei futuri docenti di scuola primaria per la progressiva acquisizione delle 4C e che il progetto eTwinning nella formazione iniziale degli insegnanti possa fornire un valido supporto per promuovere tali competenze chiave. La valutazione e la scelta dei prodotti …

Review article: intestinal lymphoid nodular hyperplasia in children - the relationship to food hypersensitivity.
2012
SummaryBackground Lymphoid aggregates are normally found throughout the small and large intestine. Known as lymphoid nodular hyperplasia (LNH), these aggregates are observed especially in young children and are not associated with clinical symptoms being considered ‘physiological’. In children presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms the number and size of the lymphoid follicles are increased. Patients suffering from gastrointestinal symptoms (i.e. recurrent abdominal pain) should systematically undergo gastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy. With these indications LNH, especially of the upper but also of the lower gastrointestinal tract has been diagnosed, and in some children it may reflect …
