За етичните кодекси в сферата на образованието

Author(s): Georgi Georgiev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

The formation of the specific professional group of pedagogues in society is also the beginning of certain moral requirements towards them, which have changed over the years according to the socio-historical development. The lack of a unified Teacher‘s Code of Ethics has led to the downplaying of this subordinate normative document and its adoption as something insignificant in regulating moral relationships in the school.

Author(s): Svetla Staykova,Gergana Petrova,Ana Deneva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2016

Behavioral problems of infancy and preschool children tend to persist when left untreated and place affected individuals at higher risk of compromised outcomes. There is an increasing public interest in the possibility that early intervention or preventive efforts could reduce the severity or even prevent mental disorders later in life. Identifying children who are at risk of developing an emotional or behavioral disorder can help to intervene before negative behaviors become entrenched. Early identification of behavioral difficulties and early implementation of family support programs promote better mental health outcomes for children at risk of behavioral, emotional and mental health problems. Therefore it is essential to provide a systematic, organized support to children before going to school, even in kindergarten and creche groups.
