Background
The literature shows a fairly coherent picture of the types of difficulties parents face. Adaptive both coping styles and resources, such as self-compassion and ego-resiliency, indicated as important predictors of the quality of life among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder. The aim of the study was to determine the links between self-compassion and ego-resiliency, coping with stress and quality of life among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder in a Polish sample (N = 76).
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted. The CISS, Self-Compassion Scale-Short, Ego-Resiliency Scale, and Quality of Life Questionnaire were used.
Results
Regression analysis was carried out to address the research question. It was confirmed that both resources studied exhibited negative relations with emotion-oriented coping, while ego-resiliency was also positively correlated with task- and avoidance-oriented strategies. The hierarchical multiple regression conducted in three steps indicated that ego-resiliency (18%) and emotion-oriented (14%) were the strongest predictors of quality of life among parents of children with ASD.
Conclusions
The obtained results proved that ego-resiliency and a task-oriented coping strategy were important indicators of the quality of life of parents of children with ASD.
Engagement of a child with SEN during therapeutical and educational activities is important in terms of their development. This construct can be understood as the time the child spends interacting with adults, peers and materials, in a manner appropriate for their developmental age. Routines-Based Model is one of the methods which particularly promotes engagement.This study aims at measuring the level of engagement in certain preschool routines and its changes during the school year. The article consists of two parts; the first one presents issues connected with defining and identifying the levels of engagement, the second one discusses the studies connected with determining the level of engagement of children with special educational needs in the process of education.The analysis of study results indicates that children in the tested group achieve the highest scores in overall engagement and engagement with materials. The highest level of engagement throughout the year has also been observed in those categories.
<p>Obecnie procesy uczenia się i nauczania są utrudnione przez wiele dystraktorów, a jednym z istotniejszych jest stale rosnąca popularność internetu i mediów społecznościowych (np. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat), która stawia dydaktykę przed nowymi wyzwaniami. Możliwość ciągłego pozostawania online niesie za sobą wiele korzyści, ale również przeszkód, z którymi należy się zmierzyć. Przedstawione w niniejszym artykule badanie miało na celu dokonanie analizy i opisanie zależności pomiędzy używaniem internetu (głównie portali społecznościowych) a wynikami w nauce, biorąc pod uwagę aspekt osobowości rozumianej zgodnie z Sześcioczynnikowym Modelem Osobowości HEXACO oraz samooceny studentów mierzonej Skalą Samooceny Rosenberga. Wykazano, że średnia ocen koreluje dodatnio z satysfakcją z uzyskanych w nauce wyników oraz z sumiennością. Badanie nie wykazało istotnych zależności pomiędzy uzyskaną średnią ocen a częstotliwością korzystania z internetu i samooceną. Wykazano ujemną korelację samooceny ze skłonnością do porównywania swoich wyników z innymi. W niniejszym artykule zaprezentowano także dalsze kierunki badań związane z omawianą problematyką oraz ograniczenia dotyczące niniejszej pracy.</p>
