Parental Self-Efficacy and Child Diet Quality between Ages 2 and 5 : The STEPS Study

2022

Parental self-efficacy (PSE), a measure of the subjective competence in the parental role, has been linked with child well-being and health.

2016

Tämä pro gradu –tutkielma käsittelee esiopetusikäisten lasten ryhmässä toteutetun taideprojektin aikana esiin nousseita tarinoita unista. Työ pyrkii löytämään vastauksia lasten kerronnan tapoihin ja muotoihin. Työssä keskeiseksi nousee tutkimusta varten kehitetty käsite unitarina. Unitarina on luova- ja kollektiivi-nen prosessi, jonka kautta lapset kertovat tarinoita näkemistään unista monin eri menetelmin. Tutkimus lähestyy kysymyksiä unitarinan synnystä, sen olemuksesta ja tavoista joilla unet tarinallistuvat ja sanallis-tuvat lasten puheessa ja piirustuksissa. Tutkimus on luonteeltaan laadullinen tutkimus. Siihen osallistui yhteensä 14 lasta. Aineiston keruu to-teutettiin eräässä kaksiki…
