Item A New Way to View Perceptions of the Quality of Life of Families Who Have a Child With Tourette Syndrome(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Khoury, RitaThe purpose of this study was to gather data from the families of children with Tourette Syndrome (TS), in order to examine the extent to which the existence of a child with TS in the family affected their Family Quality of Life (FQOL). The research was conducted according to the mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Data was collected from 25 families of children with TS. The questionnaire was analyzed statistically and the interviews were analyzed using a content analysis method. Conclusions derived from the research findings allowed the development of the ACEIST model, including five new sub-domains of FQOL that reflect the experiences of the studied families: advocacy, cooperation, explanation, information, and the severity of TS. This is a new way to view the FQOL of families who have a child with TS which is very precise, functional and family-specific. This ACEIST model fills the knowledge gap in this field, contributing to our knowledge regarding the FQOL of families who have a child with TS. The new model has practical implications for education as well as social and health policies in Israel regarding families who have a child with TS.Item Adolescents At-Risk in the Situation of Transition: Assistance Programs in the Israeli Educational System(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Vaxberg, ZivitAdolescents at-risk are defined as adolescents who may be found in physical, mental, or emotional situations of risk. Most of them come from dysfunctional families, poverty, or delinquent social environment. Their problems are expressed mainly in the emotional, educational, social and behavioral realms and lead them to absences from school, low educational achievements, behavior problems, and social difficulties. These problems increase dramatically in the phase of transition from middle school to high school. This transition is characterized primarily by: (a) change from a familiar, intimate place to a large, strange, and anonymous place, (b) change of role – from being the oldest pupil to being the youngest one, and (c) separation from significant adults and friends. The Israeli educational system has developed special assistance programs for the transition phase of adolescents at-risk. These programs operate in two parallel and complementary dimensions. During school time, there are special programs such as psychodrama groups which are aimed at strengthening the learners’ perseverance and increasing their success in the normative frameworks. After the school hours, the programs provide them with activities such as mental support and help in their homework preparation.Item Cesarska kobiecość monarchii naddunajskiej – w cieniu balansującej kontroli. Studium psychospołeczne(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Judzińska, AnetaThe aim of this article is to deconstruct images of empresses (archduchesses) from the Habsburg- Lorraine dynasty, currently present in the pop culture. The author makes her own psychological and sociological analyses (including a gender studies viewpoint) of these historical heroines, using contemporary historical studies as well as pop cultural and popular science publications from the turn of the 19th and 20th century. The main focus here lies on the biographies of two women – Maria Theresa of Habsburg and Elizabeth of Austria (Elizabeth Amalie Eugenie von Wittelsbach) who made an (un)conscious effort to achieve independence, perceived here in the context of regaining – even if to a limited extent – a sense of control and agency.Item Different Rola Perceptions and Student-Teacher Relationship Characteristics, Among High School Homeroom Educators and Subject Teachers' – Results From a Qualitative Research(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Gosen, Noah BarTeaching staff in Israel is expected to fulfill the role of civil and moral educators alongside their instructional roles. In order to achieve that goal, the Israeli education system has defined two distinct entities: the first is the unique position of the “mechanech kita”, or a homeroom educator, whose role is to address all aspects of the students’ lives. The second role is the subject teacher, who teaches a specific subject in various classes. Semi-constructed interviews of 14 high school teaching staff helped to shed light on the perceptions and practices concerning role definition and the teacherstudent relationship. The results show that homeroom educators emphasize a holistic view and perceive responsibility for the “whole student”. Both instructors valued a strong and consistent relationship with their students, but homeroom educators invested more time and employed more varied strategies to achieve it. Subject teachers emphasized scholastic aspects and practices. The results show that different role definitions lead to different role perceptions and student-teacher relationship characteristics. Further research concerning the implications of such differences on educational and inclusive processes within the school system. Implications concerning teachers’ professional training course should be considered as well.Item „Dziewczyny na politechniki” – analiza wybranych przekazów reklamowych promujących przełamywanie stereotypów zawodowych i barier płciowych w obszarze męskich kierunków studiów(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Szymczak, EmiliaNowadays it is difficult to clearly define what still belongs to strictly masculine domain and what no longer belongs to it.

This research examined whether there is a difference in the level of knowledge on ADHD between teachers in the two sectors. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, defined by disorder on the level of attention, lack of organization, and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity. The school framework, which requires the child to sit continuously and quietly, to be organized and orderly, and to focus, causes the disorder to surface. The ADHD child is excessively active and impulsive and has difficulties focusing in class. The pattern expected in the research, differences in the level of knowledge of teachers about ADHD between the two sectors, was found to be positive but weak. The average level of knowledge was indeed higher, although not significantly so, among teachers in the state schools than among teachers in the state religious schools. The level of knowledge about ADHD was found to be low in some of the ADHD parameters in both sectors. Educators need to increase their awareness and further their understanding of the disorder. It is important that teachers have at least the basic knowledge and possibility to identify the children and plan for them an educational program that will meet their needs and help them become successful and proactive citizens.Item Kompetencje muzyczne w młodszym wieku szkolnym a płeć badanych uczniów(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Bonna, BeataThe article aims to present research allowing the assessment of the musical competence of pupils in the early years of primary school, consisting of perceptual musical abilities and basic knowledge of music.

There are few studies of this kind and the analysis that takes into account gender differences provides significant information on the strong and weak aspects of the competences. The results did not confirm the often reported results suggesting that girls do better in music-related tests.Item Konflikt między rodzicami jako czynnik ryzyka nieprzystosowania dzieci i młodzieży(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Jankowiak, BarbaraThe aim of the article is to analyze parental conflict as a risk factor of difficulties experienced by their children.

There is no doubt that in recent years the focus of the test-driven policies applied in the context of both formal and social criteria for evaluating students and schools has shifted decisively towards tangible results associated with the tests results. You can even tell that the phenomenon of "testing obsession" has dominated everyday life of the school and the identity of the students and has replaced student-centering learning. The author of the article considers these problems against the background of theory and reality.Item Orientacje życiowe młodzieży – ich uwarunkowania i przemiany(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Kanclerz, BożenaThe main goal of this article is to present issues relating to life orientations on theoretical, methodological and empirical levels.
