El derecho de autonomia del paciente menor: Virtualidad de la mediacion en conflictos sanitarios con menores
2017
La Ley 41/2002, de 14 de noviembre reconoce el derecho a la autonomía del paciente en el ámbito sanitario, configurado como un derecho subjetivo en el marco de los derechos de la personalidad. Recientemente, las Leyes Orgánica 8/2015, de 22 de julio y Ley 26/2015 de 28 de julio han introducido importantes reformas en la consideración de la madurez de los menores para decidir determinados actuaciones que afectan a su persona, confiriendo a sus progenitores la facultad de consentir intervenciones sanitarias que puedan suponer grave riesgo para su vida o salud. Regulación ésta que plantea ciertos interrogantes a la hora de ofrecer soluciones a ciertos conflictos familiares y sanitarios que se …
A Critical Analysis of the Explicit and Implicit Treatment of Human Rights Education in Early Childhood Education Textbooks
2020
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child explicitly recognizes that children are entitled to the full range of civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. Despite the powerful social function of textbooks in legitimizing cultural norms in primary and secondary education, there has been little attention on human rights issues in early childhood education (ECE) curricular materials. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the explicit and implicit representation of human rights education (HRE) in ECE textbooks. Our quantitative and qualitative results show that ECE textbooks failed to find any explicit mention of children’s rights, an excessive attention focused on t…
The Winding Road to Accessing the Voices of One Thousand Schoolchildren : A Nexus Analysis of Collecting Data for a Survey
2021
This article describes a nexus analysis of the lengthy, complex process of negotiating access to schools for a research project surveying 1,002 children (aged 9–12 years) about their digital and language practices. The analysis distinguished layers of adult-centered gatekeeping, each of which needed to be tackled in sequence. Bottlenecks particularly arose at the gatekeeping stage, in which superintendents of schools decided whether to grant research access to schools. Factors facilitating the research process included the hybrid data collection design, the procedures for obtaining parental consent, and the active collaboration with the children themselves. A significant discourse emerged a…
Child poverty in a Scandinavian welfare context - from children's point of view
2011
Published version of an article published in the journal: Child Indicators Research. Also available from the publisher at: http;//dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12187-010-9092-0 The focus for this article is child poverty in a Nordic welfare state context. With data from two qualitative studies from Sweden and Norway, we discuss child poverty from the children's point of view, in the framework of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, articles 27 and 28. In article 27, food, housing and clothing are mentioned as particularly important for an adequate standard of living. In poverty studies where children's voices are being heard there has been little focus on these necessities. We find that a fe…
Lasten osallisuuden jännitteet varhaiskasvatuksessa
2021
Lasten osallisuus on varhaiskasvatuksessa pedagogisen toiminnan keskeinen tavoite. Osallisuuden toteutuminen voi olla kuitenkin käytännössä vaikeaa. Sitä hankaloittavat lasten osallisuuden epäselvä teoreettinen määrittely, tiedon puute osallisuutta tukevista käytännöistä ja toimintatavoista sekä varhaiskasvatuksen resursoinnin kysymykset. Varhaiskasvatuksen lapsiryhmät ovat yhä monimuotoisempia, ja myös siksi on tärkeää kehittää kasvattajien osaamista lasten osallisuuden huomioon ottamisessa. Jotta lasten osallisuus ja oikeudet osataan tunnistaa, on tunnettava niihin liittyvää tutkimustietoa ja lainsäädäntöä sekä uusia toimintatapoja. Artikkelissa tarkastelemme, millaista oli Oiva – Lasten …
Can we increase children’s rights endorsement and knowledge?: A pilot study based on the reference framework of competences for democratic culture
2022
This pilot study is the first to examine whether a novel curriculum based on the Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture (RFCDC) could increase children’s endorsement and knowledge of children’s rights. We conducted a pre-test-post-test design with an intervention and a comparison school. Pupils (n = 172) from Bulgaria, Italy, Norway, Romania, and Spain attended schools in which the curriculum was taught, whereas pupils in the comparison group (n = 120) attended schools in the same city where the curriculum was not taught. Both groups were tested on their endorsement and knowledge of rights before and at the end of the intervention. Children in the intervention group incre…
