Pedagogical Work In the Modern School and Antisocial Behavior of Students
Get PDFIn the school system in the countries, in addition to the teaching staff, the schools also employ professional collaborators - pedagogues whose main task is to provide professional help and support to the participants in the work in the schools in order to be successful in the realization of school education and the effects that have been achieved to be better. Their professional goal is aimed at encouraging development and in identifying and understanding the difficulties students face and providing assistance in overcoming them, as well as preventing learning and behavioral difficulties. In addition, their professional role is realized through joint work with the teachers and the management of the school in order to ensure optimal conditions for learning and development of the students and the successful functioning of the school as an institution. They also provide support to parents and answer questions important to their children\u27s development and education.
In modern conditions, we have to talk about the presence of many requests to which the school must respond. The real clients of the school are the student, his family, employers, society, professional elites, while maintaining a certain position of the state. For the educational system, this means that state educational institutions are obliged, on the one hand, to conduct a dialogue with all consumers of education (the goal is to find a reasonable compromise), and on the other hand, to constantly create, update and multiply the range of educational services, whose quality and effectiveness will be determined by the consumer. Otherwise, the public school cannot fully fulfill its functions. It is no longer enough for a modern school to provide a graduate pedagogue with knowledge for decades to come. In the labor market and from the point of view of life prospects, the ability and willingness to learn and retrain all their lives are becoming more and more demanded. And for this, obviously, it is necessary to learn differently, in different ways.
The concept, system and organization of pedagogical work in schools are closely related and conditioned by the functioning of a complete pedagogical and psychological service as an integral part of the educational process. After all, a solid and correct pedagogical, psychological and diagnosis with a prognosis for the development and subsequent therapy for the social-educational behavior of the student can only be given by an expert team. The advancement of the pedagogical work in the school, for which a new scientific discipline of pedagogical sociology has been established, is one of the basic tasks in the realization of this role. We should understand it as a complex of a multitude of actors that influence the development and establishment of the disturbed psycho-bio-socio balance. The problem of this research is the successful realization of the pedagogical work in the school. In this context, the pedagogical work in the school should be seen in solving the pedagogical problems that are within its competence. One of the tasks of pedagogical work is social and professional influence among children to achieve a change in behavior in a positive direction, i.e. correcting the deviant, disturbed, antisocial behavior of the person who deviates from what is acceptable for social norms. There are a large number of situations where students show this kind of behavior, that is, behavior that we can define as deviant, antisocial, antisocial, etc. and thus the student\u27s behavior can be treated as a social or pedagogical problem. A pedagogical problem is, for example, the student\u27s escape from school.
There must be a reason for running away, and it needs to be discovered. Working with such children leads to the realization that the student runs away in order to avoid undesirable situations in the classroom, where he feels belittled, embarrassed, underestimated. Either he runs away, because he is not given enough attention, is neglected, the students and the teacher make fun of him, he feels inferior, insulted, or he runs away because he is not adapted to the social environment. This and a series of other moments are only part of the pedagogical problems that require resolution. The degree and ability to solve problems from a pedagogical aspect will depend on the extent to which we contribute to such children being able to fit more painlessly into school life and the social environment in the future. After all, the function of the educational process is education, adaptation and training of young people for life in social conditions. With our research, we will contribute to an easier and more successful clarification of the problems that arise as a result of the antisocial behavior of students, and thus we will help in their successful resolution by applying various educational measures and also influence the improvement of the preventive actions of educators and professional services in primary school. From a methodological point of view, it will be a small, modern empirical research
Immigration Within the Framework of "fear" in English, Macedonian and Turkish Journalistic Discourse
Get PDFIn this paper, we analyze the way the problem of immigration is embedded in English, Macedonian and Turkish journalistic discourse in the framework of "fear". The goal of our investigation is to discover the language strategies employed in the journalistic discourse that exert a negative influence on readers towards immigrants. To reveal the implicit properties of the discourse structures that direct and shape readers’ opinion, first we apply the method of critical discourse analysis. Then, using a comparative method, we establish the similarities and differences in the representation of immigrants in these three discourses taking into consideration that their treatment takes place in different cultural environments. The analysis focuses on identification and comparison of those specially selected lexical devices used in structuring the journalistic text that influence public opinion against immigrants while creating panic and fear among readers. By investigating the language strategies in the text we shed light on the manipulative power of lexical devices used for influencing the reader to take a negative attitude towards the problem of immigration.
The language strategies used in media discourse increase intolerance towards immigrants and draw a boundary between "us" and the "others." Based on the framework of "fear" the analysis shows that the three journalistic discourses use similar linguistic strategies in representation of immigration problems. The results of the analysis should raise readers\u27 awareness of the manipulative power of media and help readers create a defense mechanism against becoming its victim. Knowledge of how to decode the ways in which media construct their reality will help readers recognize and resist the discourse of fear that encourages xenophobia and racism

Objectives: The aim of the study was to find out the comparison of the quality of health services and patient satisfaction based on the accreditation status of the health center in Jayapura Regency, Papua Province. Methods: This type of research is descriptive quantitative with a cross sectional study approach. The population is patients in 2 accredited health centers and 2 non-accredited health centers with a total of 175 samples. Data obtained using a questionnaire and analyzed using chi square. This research was conducted at Harapan Health Center, Dosay Health Center, Waibhu Health Center, and Airu Health Center, Jayapura Regency. Result: The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference in the dimensions of service quality between accredited and non-accredited Health Centers based on reliability (p=0.012; RP 1.117 (95%CI: 1.032–1.209)), responsiveness (p=0.007; RP 1.132 (95%CI: 1.042–1.230)), and physical evidence (p=0.4; RP 1.165 (95%CI: 1.057–1284)). Meanwhile, factors that have no significant difference in the dimensions of service quality between accredited Health Centers and non-accredited Health Centers are based on empathy (p=0.059; RP 1.090 (95%CI: 1.008–1.179)), assurance (p=0.059 > 0.05), and patient satisfaction (p=0.497 > 0.05).
 
Dissemination of Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria Technology Through Inclusion of Cocoa Pod Husk in Poultry Feed to Substitute for Some Quantity of Maize in Adopted School
Get PDFOne of the major objectives of Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) is to investigate the effective utilization of the crops, by-products and the feasibility of small- scale production of such end-use product. Based on this objective, CPH is one of the major by-products of cocoa and has been utilized effectively by CRIN in the inclusion of poultry feeds. The adopted school’s concept was a collaboration between Agriculture Research Council of Nigeria (ARCN)/West Africa Agricultural Productivity Programme (WAPP) and CRIN. The poultry project in the school is to encourage secondary school students to develop interest in agriculture and encourage teachers to practice agriculture before and after retirement. This technology was disseminated to CRIN adopted school in feeding the birds. The inclusion of CPH in layers mash has reduced the quantity of maize by 20%. This was demonstrated by feeding equal numbers of birds with the conventional feed (controlled) and CPH fortified for 16 months (experimental). The result revealed that about N460 was saved on every 25kg of feed fortified with CPH compared to conventional feed with almost the same production result. This has brought a significant drop in amount spent on CPH fortified feed compared to the conventional feed thereby increasing the farmers profit
