Author(s): Mihaela Grasu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

Romanian education alignment of international regulations imposed inclusion of children with special educational needs in mainstream schools. The paper aims to examine whether the measures were taken to Romania to adopt the policy of inclusion - creating complementary to educational services and introduction of new specialist schools - are proving effective. Difficulties of collaboration between the professionals who have a recognized status and the new specialists, "double constraint" experienced by teachers forced to choose between a focus on students with special educational needs who require individual support or the rest of the class, secondary adaptive mechanisms they use to accommodate inclusion policy (neglect, undifferentiated treatment of pupils with special educational needs to the rest of the class, use inappropriate methods of discipline etc.) are reasons that make inclusion of pupils with special educational needs to be a source of conflict in the Romanian education. In addition, it presents the phenomenon of institutional violence on students with special educational needs.

Author(s): Cristina-Maria Pescaru / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

The moral-civic conduct represents the externalization, the objectifying of the moral-civic consciousness in acts and actions of various concrete situations in which the child is. One plan covers “the interior” plan, the other one “the exterior” plan of the moral personality. Morality can be sketched, provisionally defined as a real, collective and individual phenomenon, comprising both rules (principles) that govern the human relations and human types of activities and all the (subjective and objective) manifestations which are made in various degrees and ways into these rules, which assess the collective and individual appreciations.(Cătineanu, T., 1982: 60-62)Specifying the social, extrinsic tasks related to a social order, makes it possible to sighting the location and the status that ethics plays in the social disciplines. Ethics has a dual status, being a theoretical discipline of a philosophical and scientific nature.

EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, ANXIETY AND SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS IN ADOLESCENCE

Author(s): Claudia Sălceanu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

Provenance and socioeconomic status have a large impact over the mental health in adolescence. The aim of this research is to identify significant differences in anxiety and emotional distress between adolescents with high socioeconomic status and low socioeconomic status. Previous research highlighted that low socioeconomic status is related to mental illness, stereotypes, low self-esteem, poor school-based social status, a feeling of hopelessness and high levels of anxiety and depression. A sample of 360 adolescents was assessed with Emotional Distress Profile (PDE), Endler’s Anxiety Scales (EMAS-T) and a Socioeconomic status screening, made by the author. Results show, on one hand, that adolescents with low socioeconomic status have higher levels of both anxiety and emotional distress, and on the other hand, that anxiety strongly correlates with emotional distress. Practical implications of this research regard the self-assessment in adolescence, the better understanding of the role of socioeconomic status in one’s subjective assessment of social rank, the importance of this assessment dimension in the development of autonomy and self-esteem, and the importance of these results for the development of effective interventions to improve the adolescent’s mental health.

THE BULLYING PHENOMENON IN ROMANIAN SCHOOLS

Author(s): Rodica Emilia CIUCĂ / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

Articles is aiming to conduct a systematic review of scientific literature on bullying phenomenon and tries to analyse its manifestation in Romanian schools. Bullying is a global phenomenon, usually neglected in schools around the world. The impact of the bullying is determined by the serious consequences not only for children who are victimized by aggressors, but also for those who initiate aggression. This is an important issue that will not be solved until a holistic approach (parents, teachers, specialists, local community, etc.) will address the reasons why children humiliate and intimidate others, and will identify the causes that trigger such behaviours. With the right guidance and training, children can acquire necessary skills to solve their problems instead of managing them by intimidating others. In order to provide such education and to successfully eliminate the aggression in schools, we must determine the causes and effects of school bullying. The most common causes of such behaviour can be the lack of empathy, egocentrism, pride, the superficiality of human relationships, and especially the exposure, assumption, imitation of similar patterns of behaviour - most of the time in physical or virtual environments.

PROCEDURAL GUARANTEES CONCERNING THE RESPECT OF THE CHILD’S BEST INTEREST

Author(s): Cosmin Mihai Pricina / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

The legislator has enshrined the rights of the child as human rights and transposes into national law the universal standards applicable to all children. There has been a general transposition from a child's needs regulation to a full legal valorization of their rights as a natural person undergoing protection and covering the child’s entire person. The absence or insufficiently outlined characters of the child’s discernment associated with limited life experience are legally compensated by a system of means of protecting both the person and the child's heritage. In scientific papers it is mentioned that, as a rule, in ordinary situations, the legal guardian is called upon to identify the direction of the child's interest and to decide accordingly. In all processes concerning minors (divorce, child custody, establishing or termination of placement) the court can not offer a solution without hearing the minor if he has reached the age of 10 years. Therefore, according to the provisions of article 264 Civil Code, the court of tutorship will settle the dispute only after the minor has been heard in the respective case. The purpose of this paper is to show procedural guarantees and psychological implications in the extraordinary situations in which the child can be found. Special situations arise from external forces generated by parents or others in civil society. The magistrate must ensure the trust that the relationship between him and the child should be based on. The hearing technique essentially pursues the observance of the general principles of the protection and promotion of child rights in close connection with the principle of truth finding by the magistrate.

Author(s): József Molnár,Viktória Ferenc,D. István Molnár / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2019

Preschool education is the foundation of mother tongue education, and is one of the main pillars of national identity. Effective planning of the kindergarten network requires knowledge of the future development of the number of preschool age groups. The paper presents the results of the projection of the number of Hungarian speaking 3–5 year-olds in Transcarpathia in the 2018–2022 period. This data may determine the demographic basis of the Hungarian kindergarten network in the near future. The number of Hungarians, ethnically mixed Hungarian-Ukrainians, and Hungarian-speaking Gypsy children were counted separately, because the extent and possibilities of inclusion of the three groups in Hungarian kindergarten education differ. The study also includes the categorization of Transcarpathian settlements based on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the Hungarian-speaking kindergarten children living there.
