DISADVANTAGE MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL COMPETENCIES THROUGH PLAY IN STUDY HALL PRACTICE

Summary/Abstract: Among the students of the PTE KPVK Social Pedagogy master's program, several have chosen the Study Hall (Tanoda) as their research subject, an opportunity-creating and disadvantage-managing institution. The study hall is an excellent social pedagogical setting where many innovative methods are applied to overcome social disadvantages, develop competencies, strengthen minority identity, and support local communities. The subject of this study is to present the innovative methodology and effectiveness of the Study Hall established by the Mindszentgodisa Association, founded in 2006. As a supervisor, I assisted the professional work of the study hall's professional leader, social pedagogue Tímea Nagyné Messinger, who prepared the study hall's impact assessment as her thesis. Based on the research, it became clear that, beyond classical learning support and tutoring, the study hall's other services and activities significantly contribute to the development of children's social competencies and to their emotional and family life education. For this purpose, they mainly use game pedagogy methods, such as relationship-building games, trust games, sensory development games, memory development exercises, fantasy and creativity development games, peer, group and self-awareness games, tension-relief games, and situational games. One of the most innovative games is the family game developed by the professional leader for family life education, which the professional leader successfully applied in institutional practice. In her thesis, she compared the personal and social competencies of children attending the study hall with those of children not attending but sharing similar disadvantages. Her research confirmed her hypothesis that the playful development of study hall children produced measurable differences in personal and social competencies in favour of the study hall children.
