Hortiterapia czy praca w ogrodzie – podobieństwa i różnice

There is growing attention to findand popularize untypical forms of therapy which should help patients in hospitals, occupational facilities and clinics. The main aim of the article is to show the differences between horticultural therapy as a form of therapy and work in a garden, which can also provide therapeutic results. Comparison of different determinants was a method to outline that proper understanding of the differences may be beneficialboth for theoreticians and practitioners who use nature in order to improve their patients’ health. However, it is useful for future teachers and could play a role in the teacher education process. As a conclusion, it has been established that source literature scientificreports focus rather on potential recipients or benefitswhich come from this form of therapy, whereas basic differences between gardening and horticultural therapy have been rarely mentioned. Analysis has helped to observe that there are many factors which differentiate therapeutic work in the garden from work in the garden which can bring therapeutic effects. Performing such an analysis seems to be significantin connection with the growing popularity of centers which offer this kind of therapy, and with the emergent dilemmas concerning how it differs from gardening and whether the therapy is worth the money invested in it

Wczesna inicjacja seksualna młodzieży – przyczyny i konsekwencje

Juvenescence constitutes period between infantile sexuality and sexuality of young man. Adolescence is time of discovering sexual identity, initiating new sexual behaviors and involving into intimate relationships. During this period, the forms of sexual activity are developing from less to more and more mature – from masturbation, through petting to sexual initiation. Decision of a first sexual intercourse is an important act for every person. Nevertheless, sexual initiation which is precocious, in a stage of unformed identity, can disturb psychosexual functioning of an individual causing unplanned pregnancies, leading to sexually transmissible diseases and initiating risky sexual behaviors. The causes of starting precocious sexual activity are associated with improper models of upbringing (strictness or lack of interference) as well as with distancing of youth from pedagogical or educational influences of school or church. These traditional socializing agendas are replaced with media influences and behavior patterns providing by peers. It seems that only complex acts from pedagogical and socializing backgrounds can contribute starting responsible behaviors of youth in sexual field

The study was carried out in two parts, at time intervals. The results were obtained only from mothers, which corresponds with the conclusion that mothers talk about matters of sexuality more often than fathers do and with daughters rather than with sons. The results indicate that mothers want to influence the sex education of their children, at the same time having no knowledge of what topics they are pursuing or can pursue with their child during formal sex education at school (education for living in a family).Anna Gulczyńska, Aneta Wojciechowska, Sex education of adolescents with autism spectrum disorders in Poland.

Współpraca nauczycieli z rodzicami – systemowe propozycje rozwiązań

The aim of the article is to give some systemic approach proposal as a base to educational offer. Poor relation between parents and teachers at Polish schools is a fact. Political and social-cultural changes, or taking into consideration different criteria – globalization and digitalization changes, caused transformation of parents – teachers relations. According to recent research, they are dissatisfying, rare, disappointing and frustrating for both parties. They are not an important element of school politics for directors of educational institutions. It is worth to start changes at local level, they may in the future cause global changes – in this case meaning countrywide changes. Good practices must be based on good theories.Celem artykułu jest zaproponowanie wykorzystania podejścia systemowego – jako zasadnego dla tworzenia oferty edukacyjnej. Niesatysfakcjonująca relacja rodzice – nauczyciele/nauczycielki w polskiej szkole jest częstą rzeczywistością. Zmiany polityczne, społeczno-kulturowe czy też wynikające z cyfryzacji i globalizacji przyczyniły się również do zmian w relacjach rodzice – nauczyciele. Zgodnie z najnowszymi badaniami są one niezadowalające, rzadkie, przynoszące rozczarowanie i frustrację z obu stron. Dla dyrektorów placówek oświatowych – nie są ważnym elementem polityki szkoły. Dlatego też warto zacząć zmiany – być może najpierw na poziomie lokalnym. Jeśli staną się przykładem dobrych praktyk, opartych o dobrą teorię – być może w jakimś stopniu, przyczynią się do zmian na poziomie ogólnokrajowym

The Usefulness of the Term “Normal Family” from the Perspective of Psychological and Pedagogical Assistance

The article gives an insight into the meaning of the term “normal family” and the potential implications of its use. The modernist and the postmodernist approaches presented are supposed to contribute to a reflection on the current usefulness of this term, i.e. to what extent it describes the family and work with it. The use of the terms: norm and normal is mistaken for objectivism and neutrality. It is therefore worth considering in the context of narration about the family terms such as: healthy, functional, successful, adapting, and when using the term norm or standard, to add criteria of its description. The article first presents selected definitions of norms, then the approaches to the normal family, and the resultant conclusions. Further on the article indicates the results of preliminary analyses of statements made by students, showing their ways of defining the notion of a “normal family”. Subsequently a summary is made from the perspective of both modernism and postmodernism
