IntroductionBased on the data obtained, today more and more abnormal children born in Indonesia, however they also have the opportunity to develop their potential maximally. They did not choose for be them become abnormal as it is now, therefore it is the duty of everyone to help children that have special needs such as Down syndrome child to optimize capabilities. One of the assistance given is direct interventions for improve in fine motor skills with chaining technique. Although Down syndrome children have a deficiency in academic terms, but they can master vocational skills that can help them later. Therefore, children motor skills children need to be considered and developed maximally, so eventually they were able to be independent and not depend on others.2.

Purpose of the StudyThe purpose of this study is for apply the chaining chaining therapy for improve in fine motor skills that eventually followed by an increase in the capacity and skills being self in children with down syndrome5. Research MethodsClinical interview is the most commonly used assessment in children and the parents (Sattler, 1998 in Mash & Wolfe, 1999: 104). Interviews were conducted in the mother and significant other to dig up information on the subject at home and doing interviews on teacher and school psychologist associated with the behavior of the subjects in school. In addition, the observation made by observing the object or the subject concerned or in a particular environment and behavior. Observations made on the physical appearance of the child, according to the physical characteristics that arise in children with Down syndrome are related to the five aspects of the child's fine motor skills, that is stability, bilateral coordination, sensation, dexterity (skilled) and the ability of self coached. Observations made since the first meeting until the implementation of the intervention. Psychological tests are also given, in the form of a series of tests that have been standardized for the purpose of assessment of a person to reveal some aspects, such as cognitive ability, skills or capabilities and aspects of personality (Mash & Wolfe, 1999: 116).One of the instruments use for development assessment in Down syndrome children are Vineland Social Maturity Scale (VSMS) developed by Dr. Edgar A. Doll in Vineland, New Jersey. The main goal in designing this scale for measure social maturity, which can help provide a diagnosis of mental retardation (Payne & Patton, 1981: 198).

IntroductionThe earthquake that strike on May 27, 2006 in Yogyakarta and Central Java caused many people have disabilities. And estimated that not less than 500 people got spinal cord injury (SCI), 350 of them had paraplegia caused the accident. Paraplegia resulting in an acute disease and sufferers experience a psychological problem. This is due to that paraplegia have is very small cure rate. (Kishi, Robinson & Kosier, 2001).Sharma (2005) stated that the psychological problems that arise in survivor with paraplegia in the form of emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression, fear, anger, hostility and feelings of helplessness. 23% - 30% of patients experience depression predicted paraplegia after a few months and had anxiety for at least two years after being diagnosed paralyzed. Some triggers that cause depression include a fairly long period of rehabilitation, very limited mobility, sores pressure (sores like burning on the surface of the skin due to prolonged pressure on parts of the body have a disability), bladder and bowel tract infections, medical treatment spent a long time and considerable cost, also self-care process that must involve other individuals such as family members or professional caregivers. Symptoms of depression include a greater dependence on others, especially in the aspect of self-care, feel insecure when meeting with others, haunted by a sense of despair, and a desire to commit suicide. This condition is expected to be experienced by people ranging from first year to nine years after the diagnosis of paralysis.Patients with depression generally have an error in perceiving the conditions that they experienced. As a result, become more sensitive to stimuli that are connected with these conditions. Based on the theory proposed Beck regarding negative cognition or depressive triad, depression can occur due to: 1) the emergence of negative cognitions against him were marked by the emergence of self-belief that he or she is worthless, incapable and not expected. Then the individual will interpret negative events caused the failure and inability of self, 2) emergence of a negative outlook on the environment or the outside world. Individuals who are depressed feel that all the bad things happening to them, the world and the environment are not considered sensitive, frustrating and demanding. Furthermore, he will see the world in a pessimistic and cynical, and 3) the emergence of a negative outlook on the future and assume that there will be a change, consider future is hopeless and believe that negative events will continue to occur. Depressed individuals who believe that they are helpless and do not have the power to improve the situation or the future (Beck, 1985).In paraplegic patients survivors of the earthquake, the disaster is experienced as loss of health due to disability, loss of property and loved ones, hope to be able to recover back that has not materialized, and the economy state has not returned to normal,","PeriodicalId":164632,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social & Behavioural Sciences","volume":"239 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121983073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Veloo","doi":"10.15405/EJSBS.120","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15405/EJSBS.120","url":null,"abstract":"1. IntroductionBeginning 2003, in the national school, English was re-adopted as the medium of instruction for Science and Mathematics after about 33 years of using Malay (Bahasa Melayu). This change in the medium of instruction for Science and Mathematics in schools policy was deemed necessary to ensure that Malaysians are able to keep abreast with scientific and technological development that is mostly recorded in the English language. At the same time, this move is envisioned to provide opportunities for students to use the English Language and therefore increase their proficiency in the language (Sharifah Maimunah Syed Zin, 2002). Although the implementation of the teaching of Mathematics and Science came armed with training provisions for teachers, such as the Teaching of Mathematics and Science (EteMs) programme, comments are heard from teachers regarding problems with the implementation. This change of the medium of instruction may affect the dynamics of teaching and learning Science and Mathematics in the classroom. Students seem to have problems understanding terms used and they seem to be unmotivated, and lessons seemed to have become unattractive and appealing (Harshita, 2005).Code switchingIt is observed that the language in which education is conducted is very important as the selected language may enhance or impede the quality of education. Therefore, language is an important issue, especially in multilingual classrooms where we have students from different linguistic and socio-cultural backgrounds. The language of instruction can also be a problem, especially when the content or concepts being taught are not in the learners' home language. Learning certain subjects, such as Mathematics, in English may be a problem for students whose home language is not English. Learning such subjects in the students' home language or supplementing English with the students' home language (code switching) can lead to a better understanding of the contents being taught. Hoffman (1991) view code switching as a communication strategy and it is the situation in which two languages are used in the same utterance. For bilinguals or trilinguals it is normal to move between different languages when talking with each other, and code switching is an essential strategy for them. Therefore, learners are not treated as unsuccessful monolinguals in each language, but rather as people who possess and manipulate more than one grammatical system; elements from these systems come into contact on a regular basis, and the speakers combine them in ways congruent with each language, but also reflecting unique properties specific to the code-switching situation.Talk in the ClassroomTalk in the classroom involves the talk of the teacher and the talk of the learners, and, as in any relationship, the one can have a deep impact on the other, for better or worse (Hendersen & Wellington, 1998). In the instruction of mathematics, paying to (mathematical) language is important b","PeriodicalId":164632,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social & Behavioural Sciences","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122053061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IntroductionThe Irish social and economic landscape has been marked by considerable change in recent years. Our economic plight has refocused political attention on education; with educational change being marked out as a potential route to recovery. Irish educators have been tasked with improving their schools and the Literacy and Numeracy for Learning and Life document, (DES, 2011a), along with the School Self-Evaluation Guidelines for Primary Schools (DES, 2013) have been presented as the blueprints for change. Both of these documents specify that whole school data analysis should play a functional role in future school development practices. They propose the data enquiry cycle as a mechanism for change. However, it is unclear how Irish schools will set about this change, it is unclear whether they are ready for this change, and it is unclear if they want to change. It is essential that these three ambiguities are explored from both a theoretical and concrete research base.2. Data-Informed Practice in EducationThe notion of using data in schools is by no means a novel initiative, with data-informed practices in education being commonplace for more than a decade in the U.S.A., Australia and in England. However, it would appear that the effectuality of these approaches has not always been evident. Romero and Ventura's (2010) review of the literature on the art of data-mining, suggests that while there is a consistent trend towards increased use of data-based practices in schools internationally, there are inconsistencies with regard to how the data is used and with regard to the success of these initiatives. Two of the most regularly cited obstacles to making progress with data are teacher attitudes towards data and teachers' data-literacy, including their ability to use data to inform planning.Johnson (2004) contends that while \"few of us are statisticians at heart\" there is an essential requirement to enable teachers \"to make meaning out of raw data\" (p.6). Data literacy is described as \"the ability to examine multiple measures and multiple levels of data, to consider the research and to draw sound inferences\" (Love, 2004, p. 22). A series of decoding skills must be acquired prior to becoming data literate. Earl and Katz, (2006) suggest that educators need to be able to differentiate between sound and unsound data and to have a strong sense of basic statistical concepts and measurements. Researchers also indicate that teachers need to understand the limitations of certain data and what interpretations are considered valid (Firestone & Gonzalez, 2007). However, the evidence suggests that \"educators are woefully under-prepared to engage in data-based decision making (Earl & Katz , 2006, p.4).

This research uses unstructured interviews, because this interview is informal and far more free rhythm. An Interview explore pedophilia disorder subjects, psychosocial history and medical history. In order to strengthen the results of the interview, so in this study also used a psychological test TAT (Thematic Apperception Test), because I wanted to reveal history of the subject of sexual harassment owned since his childhood, his feelings now and hopes in the future.

Work rotation system commonly applied, then the coal mine workers have the same risk for decreased immune response due to changes in circadian rhythms. Work environment in a more closed mine very big influence on the speed of the decline immune response.Circadian rhythm closely related to melatonin levels. Circadian rhythm directly influence the normality of melatonin levels that naturally in the body. Melatonin is a hormone that normally can be found in animals, humans and other organisms (Reiter et al, 2001). Naturally, melatonin have the ability as an antioxidant. Unlike other antioxidants, the role of melatonin as a natural antioxidant in the human body is closely related to the elimination of free radicals (oxidants) and assist in the recovery of the negative effects of inflammation. Melatonin activity of as a antioxidant start to be a concern since of these substances are known oxidized through the photocatalytic mechanism involving free radical (Hardeland, Fuhrberg, 1996). Fatigue can reduce working capacity and endurance of work that characterized by the sensation of fatigue, decreased motivation, decreased activity. If there is no balance between the physical and mental work will lead to decreased of concentration, ability, and effectiveness. These are the signs of fatigue and exhaustion that continues lead to work stress.Time to restore the freshness from fatigue that caused by work to be an important part in the preparation of the work shift.

IntroductionIn Italy, in the last 20 years, the presence of students who have migrated directly (immigrant children) or indirectly (children with immigrant backgrounds) is constantly increasing. During the school year 2011/2012, there were 755.939 pupils with non-Italian citizenship attending school, accounting for almost 8.4% of the overall school population (in 1997 they only accounted for 0.7%). Their presence is greatest in primary school, where they are 9.5% of those who attend. Among the many nationalities represented, Romanian, Albanian, and Moroccan are the largest groups (Ismu-Miur, 2013).For migrant children and their families, school is a whole new world, and represents the ability of the host society to accept or reject them. School is the gateway to the host society, and the key to a new future. Actually, institutional education can be a two-edged sword. Special programs (e.g. language instruction and intercultural programs) can facilitate learning and foster the integration process by building bridges between communities and individuals from diverse backgrounds (European Commission, 2008). On the other hand, education reproduces inequalities if discriminatory practices, such as exclusion and segregation (Chomentowski, 2009) lead to lower educational attainments of disadvantaged minority groups (EUMC, 2004, p. 3). The relationship with school is complex, weaving personal goals, family expectations, and social pressures. Upon school entrance, one's self perception and the place one can occupy in this new world becomes clearer.Although there are some studies (Canino, 2010; Colombo, 2010; Dusi, 2011; Luciano, Demartini & Ricucci, 2009; Ongini, 2011) examining the relationship between immigrant families, their children and schools, the data regarding the process of integration of immigrant children in Italian schools require further investigation (EUMC, 2004). Since the widespread tendency is to attribute the responsibility of school and socio-educational integration difficulties to the families of immigrant students (Perregaux et al., 2006; Lenoir et al., 2008), and to their different culture, we thought it would be useful to hear the voices of children from elsewhere (MacNaughton, Smith & Davis, 2007). Considering their points of view could be helpful in order to develop some useful reflections (Rorty, 1991) on their experiences and needs, and to design educational interventions to support their integration, based on their point of view as \"sophisticated thinkers and communicators\" (Harcourt & Conroy, 2005, p. 567) and fully recognized social actors.2. Problem StatementThe need of belongingness is an human basic psychological need. In contemporary, multicultural Western societies this need is difficult to satisfy, especially for those who undergo a sense of loss from the very beginning of their lives, such as children who experience migration (Moro, 2010).In literature, it has been defined in a number of ways (Vallerand, 1997; Baume","PeriodicalId":164632,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social & Behavioural Sciences","volume":"1 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132110680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gustavson","doi":"10.15405/EJSBS.128","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15405/EJSBS.128","url":null,"abstract":"IntroductionHigher education of today demands pedagogical spaces where students and teachers enter authentic dialogues. In professional universities; in the authors' case, the social field, students meet societal demands and develop life quality with clients and their environment. A reflective and intuitive practitioner employs competences that comprise knowledge, practice repertoires and values. This is why education cannot be described in neutral, so called objective rhetoric. At Arcada we see that a creators of these spaces must take into consideration subject takes from both teachers and students. However as students enter Higher Education they are used from previous studies to be objectified in their own learning processes. Experiences from their previous studies have often made student detached from their learning as knowledge creation. Finding means to foster students' subjective take is related to teachers own position of being subjects in their role as teachers.Problem StatementTreating each other as subjects with mutual respect has traditionally been a part of the process of Edification (Bildung) in Higher Education. However, in today's educational climate of efficiency Higher Education has become more of a service producing institute. Students in Higher Education often lack experience of being subjects in their own studies while teachers still presuppose both self-regulation and ability to reflect. This lack of experience of being subjects in own learning also tease teachers in higher education to treat not only student but rather the whole learning process very objectified. Thus, we argue that the problem is that objectified stance to learning invites objectified interaction something that does not foster deep learning, reflection and ability to believe in changes. Instead we have sought alternative and different learning approaches that would break down the objectification in learning.To overcome the dilemma teachers' own subjectivity and ability to act as committed agents in mentoring and fostering students is problematized. Pedagogical tools when becoming routines function as straitjackets but pedagogy holds a potential for an educational purpose of subjectification. Our choice when creating pedagogical spaces with aesthetic means proposes as an alternative practice in Higher Education.Research QuestionsOur research questions are two folded:1) How could pedagogical spaces when creatively charged be created to invite subjective stance (rather than objectified) for both teachers and students in Higher Education?2) How aesthetic means trigger and enable students to become change agents to their own learning?Purpose of the StudyThe overall purpose of our study is to create learning opportunities where students and teachers are enabled to build upon their own subjective stance in order to professional competence requirements set by our diverse society and the demands of Higher Professional Education.
