Children and Minors in Institutional Care: Research of Self-Regulation

AbstractThe paper deals with self-regulation in children and minors living in so-called “total institutions”. It aims at a scientific study of the determinants and conditions of the process of developing self-regulation. The research is based on the assumption that the organisations originally established by the society to correct risk behaviour in children and minors now rather contribute to the preservation and reproduction of such behaviour. A scientific research in the process of self-regulation in institutionalised children and young people will answer the question of the meaning and purpose of such institutional care which is historically rooted and preferred in the Czech Republic, rather than supporting rehabilitation of families in their natural social environment. The aim of the paper is to present research approaches to study of process of self-regulation in children and minors (aged 11+) living in institutionalised environment. Self-regulation can be considered as one of the fundamental human abilities. It is based on conscious control of volitionary behaviour focused on achieving goals with a desired change in behaviour as one of the possible goals. The degree of self-regulation is significantly affected by the social environment we live in. The researcher used qualitative methods of focus groups and interviews to develop culture and social fair quantitative instrument - Self-regulation Questionnaire in Children and Minors (SRQ-CM)

Decision-making in seniors regarding residential social services

We focused on the process of decision making in seniors regarding the initiation of using residential social services, i.e. possible moving into an institutional environment. A qualitative research strategy of depth interviews among 14 service users of homes for seniors was used. The grounded theory method was chosen as a method to analyse the data obtained among the users applied in accordance with Strauss and Corbin. The interviews were transcribed and processed using open, axial and selective coding. The results show that the users consider their moving into a home for seniors a necessity when having no other choice. The seniors believe that they did not have a choice in their decision making due to their social situation, their health condition or when in need of an intensive help and care of other persons, especially with no one available to provide them with the above in their natural social environment. The fact is that they had never imagined spending the end of their life in a home for the elderly, moreover they do not consider the facility their home. On the basis of the results obtained, we made recommendations for the practice - more precisely for education of helping profession students, who are to work with seniors. (C) 2015 The Authors.

The Level of Integration of Bancassurance Products of Financial Groups Erste Group Bank, UniCredit Group and KBC Group in Selected Countries

This paper will evaluate the current state of cooperation between banks and insurance companies as well as internal integration of bancassurance products in financial groups Erste Group Bank, UniCredit Group and KBC Group. The evaluation is performed as of September, 2016. There shall be selected ten countries which are located in Central and Eastern Europe: Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Slovenia and Serbia. The aim of this paper is to determine whether or not there is a similarity in integrated financial products belonging to different financial groups in individual countries. This paper will apply a qualitative research approach. A theoretical base for evaluating the level of cooperation between banks and insurance companies and for evaluation of an internal integration of bancassurance products will be set in the paper. The theoretical base is to be compared with the current bancassurance practice within financial groups and countries. To evaluate bancassurance practice, this paper shall use data available on web sites, financial and annual reports of financial institutions. The qualitative research is to contain a detailed analysis, sorting and comparison of set theoretical bases. The financial groups show differentness as far as integration is concerned. The research led to the conclusion that there is a similarity in bancassurance products which are offered in evaluated countries. A dissimilarity was found in the level of integration of bancassurance products

Emotional and social needs of integrated disabled students in secondary school environment

The paper deals with emotional and social needs of integrated disabled pupils in the secondary school environment. The authors focused on the perception of emotional and social needs of pupils with physical disabilities who were individually integrated into a standard secondary school five years ago at the latest. The aim of the research was to determine how graduates with physical disabilities reflect on their emotional and social needs and their fulfillment in the secondary school environment. Its purpose was also to reveal how the participants describe their position within the school class. With regard to the research objectives, the authors decided for a qualitative research strategy using semi-structured interviews and an interpretative phenomenological analysis. The results showed that the emotions of the informants are mainly determined by their insufficiently fulfilled social needs. The graduates intensely experienced distrust of their classmates, but also a certain initial reluctance of the teachers to accept their specific needs. This stemmed from the lack of interpersonal communication and cooperation and the lack of shared experiences in the school environment. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd

Comparison of self-regulation in children and adolescents in children's home and protective educational facility

We focus on the process of self-regulation in children and adolescents living in institutional care. Based on a content analysis of transcripts of two focus groups carried out in a children's home and a protective educational facility, we attempted to detect, describe and explain the mechanisms of self-regulation in children and adolescents aged 11-18 years. The purpose of the study was to reveal how the participants describe their performance in tour components of self-regulation processes, i.e., in setting personal goals, in self-regulation of behaviour, in self-regulation of conflicts and in self-regulation of learning. Within the aforementioned content analysis we compared the previous areas in two types of institutional facilities for provision of institutional and protective care. (C) 2015 The Authors.

Self-regulated learning in students of helping professions

The paper deals with issue of self-regulated learning (SRL) in students of helping professions. The research aim was to explore a situation of SRL via method of situational analysis (SA). In this way it is possible to map all elements that influence the process of SRL. For this purpose we obtained data from the seven focus groups that lasted around seventy minutes each. The research sample consisted of 48 participants - university students of helping professions. We present our main findings in the form of two situational maps, relational and positional analysis. The results show usefulness of SA or studying SRL and also that SRL is not reducible on cognitive and metacognitive determinants. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
