Historical charcoal production: landscape and impact today
Bakalaureusetöö
Keskkonnakaitse õppekavalAjaloolise söepõletuse eesmärk oli toota puusütt, mida kasutati näiteks rauatööstuses. Söepõletamisega tegeleti aktiivselt varajasest rauaajast kuni 20. sajandi keskpaigani. Sütt põletati nii kuhjades kui ka aukudes, kuid antud bakalaureusetöös käsitletakse söepõletuskuhjasid. Uurimistöö on keskendunud 61,6-hektarilisele Kakulaane söepõletusalale, kus on kaardistatud 48 söepõletuskuhja. Eestis on küll varasemalt uuritud söepõletamist, aga mitte söepõletuskohtade maastikulisi parameetreid ja söepõletamise mõju taimestikule. Töö eesmärk on iseloomustada Kakulaane söepõletusala ning hinnata söepõletusjäänuste võimalikku mõju alustaimestikule ja puude kasvule.
Töö eesmärgi saavutamiseks identifitseeriti algselt söepõletuskuhjad kasutades Maa- ja Ruumiameti X-GIS 2.0 kaardirakenduse „Reljeef“ aluskaarti. Välitöödel kontrolliti kaardilt leitud kuhjasid mullapuuriga. Söepõletuskuhjadel esineb söesegune mullakiht. Taimkatte uuringute jaoks valiti 12 kuhja, mis polnud lõhutud ega ei asunud noorendikus. Iga kuhja peal ning ümbruses tehti 4 taimeruutu ja mõõdeti puude diameetrid. QGIS-is tehti analüüs, kasutades järgmiseid Maa- ja Ruumiameti andmekihte: mullastiku kaart, nõlvakalded, halltoonides kaart ja reljeefvarjutusega põhikaart. QGIS-is leiti kuhjade diameetrid, nende kaugused soisest alast ning uurimisala suurus. Andmete töötlemiseks ja esitamiseks kasutati Microsoft Excelit. Statistilise analüüsi jaoks kasutati RStudiot, kus viidi läbi Shapiro-Wilki test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, ANOSIM test, SIMPER test ning alustaimestiku kahe grupi kohta leiti ka Shannoni mitmekesisuse indeksid.
Kakulaane söepõletuskuhjad asuvad metsamaal. Süsinikudateering näitas, et kuhjad on pärit 15.–17. sajandist. Kuhjade diameetrid on keskmiselt 6,2 meetrit. Kuhjad asuvad gruppides, soise ala läheduses, arvatavasti seoses veevajadusega, ning pigem tasasel maal, kuhu oli mugavam kuhjasid ehitada. Uurimisala reljeef on samuti üldiselt tasane. Peamiselt asuvad kuhjad uurimisalal leedemuldadel. Eelistati kuivemaid vähemviljakaid kasvukohtasid. Samblarinde katvused ning puude diameetrid kuhjadel ja nende ümbruses ei erinenud, kuid alustaimestik on kuhjade ümbruses mitmekesisem. Puurinnet on tõenäoliselt rohkem mõjutanud hilisem metsamajandamine.
Töös püstitatud uurimisküsimused said vastused ning eesmärk saavutati. Töös kirjeldati Kakulaane söepõletusala ning hinnati söepõletusjäänuste mõju alustaimestikule ja puude kasvule. Et ajaloolise söepõletuse mõju alustaimestikule ja puurindele täpsemalt selgitada, tuleks uurimitööd jätkata suurema kuhjade valimiga erinevates kasvukohatüüpides.The historical purpose of charcoal burning was to produce wood charcoal, which was used, for example, in the iron industry. Charcoal production was actively practiced from the early Iron Age until the mid-20th century. Charcoal was burned in both mounds and pits, but this bachelor's thesis focuses on charcoal mounds. The research is centered on the 61.6-hectare Kakulaane charcoal burning area, where 48 charcoal mounds have been mapped. Although charcoal burning has previously been studied in Estonia, the landscape parameters of charcoal burning sites and the impact of charcoal burning on understory vegetation have not been investigated. The aim of this thesis is to characterize the Kakulaane charcoal burning area and assess the potential impact of charcoal burning remains on understory vegetation and tree growth.
To achieve this, the charcoal mounds were initially identified using the Estonian Land and Spatial Development Board's X-GIS 2.0 application’s „Relief“ base map. In the field, the mounds identified on the map were verified with a soil auger. Charcoal mounds are characterized by a soil layer mixed with charcoal. For the understory vegetation studies, 12 mounds were selected that were not disturbed or located in young forest stands. On and around each mound, four understory vegetation plots were established, and tree diameters were measured. Analysis in QGIS used the following datasets from the Estonian Land and Spacial Development Board: soil map, slope, grayscale map, and shaded relief base map. In QGIS, the diameters of the mounds, their distances from the wetland area, and the size of the study area were determined. Microsoft Excel was used for data processing and presentation. For statistical analysis, RStudio was used, performing the Shapiro-Wilk test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, ANOSIM test, SIMPER test, and Shannon diversity indexes were calculated for the two groups of understory vegetation.
The Kakulaane charcoal mounds are located on forest land. Radiocarbon dating showed that the mounds date from the 15th to 17th centuries. The average diameter of the piles is 6.2 meters. The piles are located in groups near the wetland area, likely due to the need for water, and on generally flat terrain, which made mound construction easier. The study area's terrain is also mostly flat. The mounds are mainly located on podzolic soils. Drier and less fertile sites were preferred. Moss layer coverage and tree diameters on and around the piles did not differ, but the understory vegetation around the mounds was more diverse. The tree layer has likely been more affected by later forest management.
The research questions posed in the thesis were answered and the objective was achieved. The Kakulaane charcoal burning area was described, and the impact of charcoal burning remains on understory vegetation and tree growth was assessed. To more precisely explain the impact of historical charcoal burning on understory vegetation and the tree layer, further research should be conducted with a larger sample of mounds in various site types
Personality traits related to reporting adverse drug and vaccine side effects: explorative research based on Big Five personality traits and personality nuances
Käesolevas uurimistöös vaadeldi ravimite ja vaktsiinide kõrvaltoimete raporteerimise seost isiksuseomadustega Suure viisiku ja isiksusenüansside tasandil, eesmärgiga leida täpsemaid tulemusi, millised isiksuseomadused ja kuidas kõrvaltoimete raporteerimist ennustavad. Uurimistöös kasutati Eesti geenivaramu andmebaasi (EstBB) ning statistilistesse analüüsidesse kaasati nende osalejate andmed, kes olid täitnud isiksuseküsimustiku (100 isiksuse nüanssi), osalenud ravimite ja vaktsiinide kõrvaltoimete uuringus (ADE-Q) ning raporteerinud kõrvaltoimeid või märkinud, et kõrvaltoimeid ei esinenud (N = 34 979). Uurimistöö tulemused näitasid, et kõik Suure viisiku isiksuseomadused olid statistiliselt olulised ennustajad ravimite ja vaktsiinide kõrvaltoimete raporteerimisel: mõlemas kategoorias kõrgem neurootilisus, madalam ekstravertsus, suurem avatus kogemusele, madalam sotsiaalsus ja madalam meelekindlus. Kõrvaltoimeid raporteerisid enam naised ja nooremad inimesed. Nüansside tasandil paranes ennustusmudelite seletusvõime ning üksikväited kirjeldasid täpsemalt kõrvaltoimete raporteerimise tausta
Multilingüismo en la traducción de Zeru horiek (1995) de Bernardo Atxaga al finés y al estonio
Multilingualism in the Translation of Bernardo Atxaga’s Zeru Horiek (1995) into Finnish and Estonian. Zeru horiek (1995, The Lone Woman, English translation by Margaret Jull Costa) is the second most multilingual novel written by Bernardo Atxaga after Obabakoak. While Basque is the source language of his literary works, his fictional world is multilingual. In Zeru horiek seven natural languages appear together with Basque: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Catalan, Galician and Latin. This paper investigates how and why these languages are used in the novel, based on the theoretical approaches presented by Manterola (2019) and Verschik and Saagpakk (2023). Another purpose is to bring into the spotlight two translations of the novel never studied before: the Finnish version Tuolla taivaalla (1999, translated by Tarja Roinila) and the Estonian version Need taevad (2022, by the author of this article). Twenty-three years separate these translations, but the literary contexts of their publication are not very different. Firstly, because of the dominance of English as a main source language of literary translations, and secondly, on account of the fact that Basque, Latin and Romance language skills are not very common in its target readers.
Tuolla taivaalla is an example of early and indirect translation and, according to the model of Delabastita (1993), tends to substitute some expressions and passages in other languages, used by Atxaga, with elements of Finnish. The substitution reduces multilingualism, omits all reference to Galician and modifies some literary aspects such as the relationships between characters. Modifications in Esos cielos (the autotranslation by Atxaga) used as source text and an effort to make the text understandable for the reader can explain this linguistic and cultural homogenisation. Need taevad illustrates a late and direct translation that conventionally preserves and reproduces the multilingualism of the original. It even increases it in two ways: by restoring the source language in some passages (in English and French) presented in Basque in Zeru horiek, and by including some expressions in Basque. The strategy that allows this is permutation (translation in a footnote). Hence, two types of Estonian reader have been kept in mind: those who know some of these languages and those who do not
Fotografía y proceso de escritura en "Sete palabras" de Suso de Toro, "Soinujolearen semea" de Bernardo Atxaga y "La meitat de l’ànima" de Carme Riera
Abstract. Photography and the writing process in Sete palabras by Suso de Toro, La meitat de l’ànima by Carme Riera and Soinujolearen semea by Bernardo Atxaga. This paper aims to understand the function of pre-digital photography as described in contemporary metafiction. For this comparative analysis, I have selected three novels representing different cultures on the Iberian Peninsula and published in the 21st century: Sete palabras (Seven Words, 2009) by the Galician writer Suso de Toro (born in 1956), La meitat de l’ànima (Half the Soul, 2004) by the Catalan Carme Riera (born in 1948) and Soinujolearen semea (The Accordionist’s Son, 2003) by the Basque author Bernardo Atxaga (born in 1951). These three novels present a common feature in which the narrator (a writer born around 1950) writes a book in which he or she is, simultaneously, the sender of the written message (his or her book) and the receiver of the photography used during the writing process. In this construction of meaning, the writer re-contextualises the visual image and uses it for various proposes: to compare situations or characters, to verify discourses or facts, to identify someone, to preserve data in the record, or to communicate something. Sometimes, the photography does not accomplish its supposed function and does not help the writer to continue documenting or writing. In this case, the difficulty or impossibility of knowing the truth is emphasized. These photographies also have a narrative and structural function in the books, as they frequently demonstrate the text’s own self-awareness.
 
Freedom of religion or belief - the quest for religious autonomy
In this thesis it is argued that while the concept of freedom of religion or belief itself is opaque and difficult to define, the right to religious freedom must contain certain basic factors – most importantly the right to individual (religious) autonomy. The individual autonomy approach is seen here as providing the necessary rationale for the protection of freedom of religion or belief. This rationale is not cemented in stone in the practice of the Convention and this has caused the Court to lose its focus on individual freedom. It is a dangerous tendency. It allows the focus to be placed on the role of the State and leaves freedom of religion or belief to be heavily affected by politics and fluctuating social attitudes. In this regard, this thesis looks for the meaning and scope of individual and collective religious autonomy and how it is and ought to be represented in the practice of the European Court of Human Rights. It is the aim of the author to contribute to a clearer and more principled understanding of Article 9 of the ECHR. The right to individual autonomy is thought to be able to provide the necessary focus for the European Court of Human Rights in creating a more robust framework for the protection of freedom of religion or belief different from current Court practice which shows inconsistency in its reasoning and theoretical chaos. This lack of clarity has also contributed to freedom of religion or belief being a relatively weak right. It is explored here as to how the principle of autonomy (as developed in this thesis) relates to other principles provided by the Court, namely the principle of State neutrality, pluralism and the effective protection of rights, but also the margin of appreciation and the autonomy of religious communities. The individual autonomy centred theoretical framework in the first part of the thesis will be engaged to analyse the conflict in the triangle of state-individual-community explored in the second part
Organisatsioonisisene kaasamispraktika struktuurimuudatuste otsustamisel haridus- ja teadusministeeriumi näitel
Organizational involvement practices in the Ministry of Education and Research.
Public organizations have certain missions, structure, hierarchy, power and authority lines.
The structures are complex, multi-level and decisions are made in different lines. Structural
changes cause uncertainty among employees, workplaces are being reduced and employees`
social confidence is influenced. Therefore, it is important to share accurate and in time
information. Managers have to share information and involve employees in decision-making
process to avoid cynicism and resistance about the change. As a result of the involvement the
employees involved feel that the change has been their desired change and adapting to change
will be faster. In addition, a decision made by involving the members will be more efficient
and improved.
In this bachelor`s thesis author analyzed organizational involvement practices in decision
making process of structural changes, on example of the Ministry of Education and Research
(MER). A study found that main purpose of employee involvement in decision-making
process is to obtain expertise. Employees are involved to share information and advice on
topics related specifically to involved employee`s job field. But decisions are made by
management. This is, according to Cabrera et al (2003, Brown & Cregan 2008: 670 kaudu),
information sharing work climate - employees in MER are primarily involved through
information sharing.
The same principle is used when deciding structural changes – the management of MER
decides the structural changes by involving the heads of departments when necessary.
Employees were not involved to the discussions and negotiations of structural change forced
in 1st December 2011. Many employees heard the first time about structural change on
Ministry general meeting, where employees’ were introduced the purposes and reasons of the
change. According to Vos ja Schoemakeri (2001) the shortage of this kind of decision making
process is little employee involvement in the original plans, so the management has to
contribute later extra to motivate employees.
But in this case the motivation has not been sufficient because some official still do not know
why the MER structure had to be hanged. According to Vos ja Schoemakeri (2001: 101)
structural change causes uncertainty among the employees, affects employees' social
confidence and leads to tensions in communication. Therefore the author suggests to decide
structural changes useing human-centric approach. Employees will be involved in the
beginning of the change and according to Dean et al (1998: 345) changes will not be for the
workers by surprise.
Organizational involvement in decision making process lessens the resistance, increases
satisfaction (Lawler 1987: 38-39) and the quality of decision is higher (Wagner et al 1997:
50).
Thus, employees need to be involved in decision making process to achieve successful
outcome. This ensures a higher quality of decision-making, makes the adjustment easier, and
thereby improves organizational presentation and effectiveness.http://tartu.ester.ee/record=b2610660~S1*es
The analysis of tax morale on the sample of southern Estonian entrepreneurs
Magistritöö
Ökonoomika ja ettevõtluse õppekavalRiik vajab tegutsemiseks vahendeid ja suurema osa kogub ta nendest maksudega.
Ühiskonnas ei pöörata piisavalt tähelepanu maksumoraalile maksukuulekuse tagamiseks ja
selle tulemusel võib riigil osa maksutulusid jääda kokku kogumata. Magistritöö eesmärgiks
on välja selgitada, milline on Lõuna-Eesti väikeettevõtjate maksumoraal. Töö põhineb
eestikeelsel kirjandusel, erialastel uurimistöödel, õigusaktidel, andmebaasidest leitud
ingliskeelsetel uurimustel, inglise- ja saksakeelsel erialakirjandusel ja internetist leitud
materjalidel. Andmete kogumiseks viis autor läbi Lõuna-Eesti väikeettevõtjatega
poolstruktureeritud intervjuud. Intervjuude põhjal selgus, et maksumoraal on otsustav tegur
maksukuulekuse mõjutajana. Kodanike hoiakud mõjutavad tugevasti tahet makse maksta
seeläbi ka vabatahtlikku maksulaekumist. Inimeste hoiakuid mõjutavad ka poliitikute,
arvamusliidrite, vanemate, sõprade ja tuttavate sõnad ja teod. Mida parem on ühiskonna
teadlikkus, hoiak ja normid, seda suurem on ka inimeste ning siin juures ka ettevõtjate
maksumoraal. Eesti riigi toimimiseks tuleb tõsta Eesti ühiskonna maksutahet.The country needs financial resources to act. Most finances are raised from taxes. As not
enough attention is paid to tax morale to ensure tax compliance in the society, the state
may not collect part of the tax revenue. The aim of the Master's thesis is to find out what
are the attitudes towards paying taxes among small enterprises in southern Estonia. The
work is based on Estonian literature, specialized researches, legislation, research found in
English from various databases, English and German literature and materials found on the
Internet. The author conducted some semi-structured interviews with the small
entrepreneurs of Estonia to gather data. The interviews revealed that tax morale was a
decisive factor in influencing tax compliance. The attitudes of citizens have a strong
impact on the willingness to pay taxes, and thus on voluntary tax payments. People’s
beliefs are also affected by the words and deeds of politicians, opinion leaders, parents,
friends, and acquaintances. The better the awareness, attitude, and norms of society, the
higher the tax morale of people, and of entrepreneurs is. Good tax governance must be
promoted in Estonian society for the functioning of the state
Availability of preschool education services in Saue district
Bakalaureusetöö
Maamajandusliku ettevõtluse ja finantsjuhtimise õppekaval2017. aastal läbiviidud haldusreformi käigus liitus kolm väiksemat kohalikku omavalitsust Saue vallaga. Nüüdse valla erinevates piirkondades on erinevate suurustega alusharidusasutused ning tänaseni pole nimetatud teenuse kättesaadavuse probleemi uuritud. Samuti pole teada, kuidas hindavad teenuse kättesaadavust lapsevanemad.
Bakalaureusetöö eesmärk on alusharidusteenuse hetkeolukorra ja kättesaadavuse välja selgitamine Saue valla alusharidusasutustes seisuga 2016 vs 2020, arvestades teenuse kättesaadavuse majanduslikke ja sotsiaalseid aspekte kui ka valla alusharidusasutuses käivate laste lapsevanemate hinnanguid. Töö eesmärgi saavutamiseks kasutati kombineeritud andmekogumise ja -analüüsi metoodikat ning viidi läbi kümme kvalitatiivset poolstruktureeritud intervjuud.
Uurimistöös selgus, et 2017. aastal toimunud haldusreform ei ole mõjutanud alusharidusteenuse kättesaadavust vallas. Valla elanike arv on tõusutrendis ning rahvastik on koondunud pigem linliku elulaadiga piirkondadesse, kus kasvab vajadus alusharidusteenuse järele. Vald on loonud ühtsed võimalused kõigile koolieelsetele lastele lähtudes valla suurusest, lasteaedade ja seal pakutavate kohtade arvust. Samuti on lapsevanemad rahul teenusepakkujaga, sest vald panustab alusharidusteenusesse rahaliselt palju: kõik lasteaiad on viimaste aastate jooksul renoveeritud ning mänguväljakud on kaasaegsed. Kõigile lastele on tagatud õppevahendid ning võimalus osaleda uutes erinevates huviringides. Bakalaureusetöö autori ettepanekud Saue valla alusharidusteenuse kättesaadavuse osas: 1) säilitada kõik alusharidusasutused nendes tegevuskohtades, kus nad praegu asuvad; 2) tagada igas lasteaias logopeediline tugiteenus, et kõik teenust vajavad lapsed saaksid enne kooli vajalikku abi; 3) Saue valla lapsevanematele tagada võimalus kandideerida kõikidesse valla lasteaedadesse, sõltumata elukoha piirkonnast, sest piirkonna lasteaed ei pruugi sobituda töökoha marsruudiga.
Bakalaureusetööl on Saue valla jaoks praktiline väärtus.During the administrative reform carried out in 2017, three smaller local governments joined Saue municipality. In different areas of the current municipality, there pre-primary education institutions of different sizes and that to date, the problem of the availability of this service has not been studied and it is also not known how the parent evaluates the availability of the service.
The aim of the work is to find out the current situation and availability of pre-primary education services in pre-primary education institutions of Saue municipality as of 2016 vs. 2020, taking into account economic and social aspects of service availability as well as the assessments of the parents whose children attend the pre-primary education institutions. The combined data collection and analysis methodology was used to achieve the aim of the work and, a qualitative semi-structured interview was conducted in all of the examined child care institutions with one member of the board of trustees.
The research revealed that the administrative reform that took place in 2017 had not affected the availability of pre-primary education services in the municipality. The population of the rural municipality is on the rise, and the population is rather concentrated in areas with an urban lifestyle, where the need for pre-primary education services is growing. The municipality has created uniform opportunities for all preschool children based on the size of the municipality, the number of kindergartens, and the places offered there. Parents are also satisfied with the service provider because the municipality contributes a lot to the preschool education service and all kindergartens have been renovated in recent years, and the buildings and playgrounds are modern. All children are provided with teaching aids and the opportunity to participate in new and different hobby clubs.
Proposals of the author of the Bachelor's thesis regarding the availability of preschool education services in Saue municipality: 1) Maintain all pre-primary education institutions in the places where they are currently located; 2) ensure speech therapy support in each kindergarten so that all children in need of service receive the necessary assistance before school; 3) Parents of Saue municipality should have the opportunity to apply to all kindergartens of the municipality, regardless of the region of residence, because the kindergarten of the region may not fit the route to the workplace.
The paper has practical value for Saue municipality
Ajalehtede lugemine gümnaasiuminoorte hulgas
The goal of given Bachelor´s thesis was to study the habits and preferences of Estonian
high-school children in following the news. The main aim of the research was to find out how
important is traditional newspaper on the era of online journalism among the youth aged 16-18
years, who may be considered to be the most willing social group to use technological innovations.
Furthermore the study determins which are the particular newspapers and subjects that are the most
interesting for young people and how do high-school students relate to pages of newspaper that are
ment especially for youth.
The empirical part of the Bachelor's thesis is based on questionings and interviews that were
conducted by the author in 3 citys of various size and population – in Tallinn, Tartu and Võru. All
together the amount of participants was 260.
The information collected with questionnaires was processed by using quantitative research
methods, which allow primarly fixate, measure and make statistical conclusions. The transcriptions
of conducted interviews were processed by using both quantitative and qualitative research methods
in order to complement the statistics with reasons, attitudes and interpretations that young people
have regarding media usage in order to follow the news.
The questionnaire, interview and used research methods proved to be efficient. All previously rased
research questions and hypotheses got answered.
From the results appeared that students aged between 16-18 years are extremely interested in
news and follow them mostly once a day or even often. Even though newspapers did not turn out to
be the most popular mediums among high-school students, remaining on third place after television and internet, it appeared that young people do prefer traditional paper editions to modern online-
newspapers.
The results revealed that contrarily to previously raised hypothesis young people take more interest
in serious subjects like domestic and foreign news than in sports and entertainment. Partly due to
that fact they do not take greater interest in pages of newspaper like HIP! in Postimees that is ment
especially for youth, but offers mostly storys about so-called stars not technics, subcultures,
education, work and leisure activities, that actually interest young people.
Different studys held in Europe have shown that the reading of newspapers has considerably
decreased over the past years, especially among young people. Present Bachelor´s thesis has
demonstrated that Estonian high-school students are not following the sorrowful trend and are very
eager to read newspapers even though internet has seized an important place in whole society.http://tartu.ester.ee/record=b2115595~S1*es
Reasons for non-fulfillment of the obligation to attend school and the work of a social pedagogue with violators of the obligation to attend school on the example of the schools of Viljandi County
Antud lõputöö pealkirjaks on „Koolikohustuse mittetäitmise põhjused ning sotsiaalpedagoogi töö koolikohustuse eirajatega Viljandimaa koolide näitel. Teema on tänapäeval väga aktuaalne, sest uuringud on näidanud, et õpilaste koolist puudumiste arv ei ole aastatega vähenenud ning COVID-19 pandeemia ja sellega kaasnenud piirangud lõhkusid laste koolikäimise harjumist.
Antud töö eesmärgiks on selgitada koolist puudumise peamised põhjused sotsiaalpedagoogide vaatenurgast.
Eesmärgist tulenevad ülesanded:
• Selgitada koolikohustuse täitmist ning sotsiaalpedagoogi tööd koolikohustuse eirajatega koolis süsteemiteooriast lähtuvalt.
• Selgitada välja koolikohustuse eiramise peamised põhjused sotsiaalpedagoogide vaatenurgast Viljandimaa koolide näitel.
• Tuua välja COVID-19 mõju õpilastele koolikohustuse täitmise osas sotsiaalpedagoogide vaatenurgast.
• Analüüsida sotsiaalpedagoogide võimalusi koolikohustust eiravate õpilaste tõhusamaks toetamiseks.
Empiirilise uuringu läbiviimiseks kasutas autor kvalitatiivset uurimismeetodit. Valimi moodustasid Viljandimaal töötavad 10 sotsiaalpedagoogi. Uuringu tulemusena selgus, et koolikohustuse eiramine algab õpilastel juba esimesest klassist ning sotsiaalpedagoogid tõid välja peamised põhjused, miks õpilane ei täida nõuetekohaselt koolikohustust. Nendeks põhjuseteks siis on vaimse tervise probleemid, perekonna vähene huvi ja hool laste tegevuste ning käekäigu vastu. Lisaks tõid nad välja veel õpilase düsfunktsionaalset käitumist ning ka ebaedu. Sotsiaalpedagoog saab koolikeskkonnas väga paljusid probleeme lahendada ning ennetada.
Antud töö on jaotatud viieks suuremaks peatükiks. Esimeses peatükis kirjeldatakse süsteemide mõju indiviidile süsteemiteooriast lähtuvalt. Teises peatükis on kirjeldatud kooli ja koolikohustuse täitmist ökoloogilisest süsteemiteooriast lähtuvalt. Kolmandas peatükis on selgitatud sotsiaalpedagoogikat ning sotsiaalpedagoogi tööd koolikohustuse eirajatega. Neljandas peatükis on kirjeldatud empiirilise uuringu metoodikat ja valimit ja viiendas peatükis on kirjas uurimistulemuste analüüs, kus on siis kirjas empiirilise uuringu tulemused.The title of this graduation thesis is "Reasons for non-fulfillment of the obligation to attend school and the work of a social pedagogue with violators of the obligation to attend school on the example of the schools of Viljandi County." The issue is very relevant today, as research has shown that the share of absenteeism from school has not decreased over the years, and the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated restrictions have disrupted children's habit of attending school.
The aim of this thesis is to identify the main reasons for absenteeism from the point of view of social pedagogues.
Tasks arising from the objective:
• To explain the fulfillment of the obligation to attend school and the work of a social pedagogue with those violating the obligation to attend school based on systems theory.
• To find out the main reasons for non-compliance with the obligation to attend school from the point of view of social pedagogues on the example of Viljandi County schools.
• To highlight the impact of COVID-19 on students' compliance with their obligation to attend school from the perspective of social pedagogues.
• To analyze the possibilities of social pedagogues to more effectively support students who do not attend school.
The author used a qualitative research method to conduct an empirical study. The sample consisted of 10 social pedagogues working in Viljandi County. The study revealed that students' non-compliance with the obligation to attend school starts in the first grade, and social pedagogues pointed out the main reasons why students do not attend school properly. These reasons are mental health problems, low family interest, and concern for children's activities and well-being. In addition, they pointed out the students' dysfunctional behavior as well as their underperformance. A social pedagogue can solve and prevent many problems in the school environment.
This thesis is divided into five major chapters. The first chapter describes the impact of systems on the individual based on systems theory. The second chapter describes the school and the fulfillment of the obligation to attend school based on ecological systems theory. The third chapter explains social pedagogy and the work of a social pedagogue with those who do not attend school. The fourth chapter describes the methodology and sample of the empirical study, and the fifth chapter describes the analysis of the research results and provides the results of the empirical research
