Diagnostika a terapie ADHD

Magdaléna Halachová - Denisa Rovenská

The monograph theoretically analyzes the virtual environment and its aspects, offers insight into the identity of the child in the virtual environment, the necessity of social support and the diversity of social relationships in the real world and virtual reality. Furthermore, it contains the fundamental training program designed to minimize the risks of the virtual reality, because adolescents are often exposed to risks uncontrollably. For that reason it focuses on adolescent and empowering optimal self-image, as well as creating and maintaining real social networks. The set of experiential-educational activities is conceptually divided into two main areas. The first one is content-focused on the adolescent, his/her psychological capability including opinions, attitudes, emotions, competences, and self-reflection. The second one focuses on interpersonal real and virtual relationships, the recognition of the advantages and disadvantages of internet communication and face-to-face interaction, and last but not least for more optimal use of the Internet and preference for real social interaction.

Behavior, in the slovak language expressed as an intention, belongs to basic mental processes of every individual. In this work I consider it as the basic component of an individual having two sides, outer- and inner side. I present it in the scheme No. 2.

The problem of behavior can not be fully covered, although there is a lot of writing, discussing and experimenting by ancient time.

The work may offer only few comments, approaching maily disorders of behavior. I present the original explanation of these disorders, dividing them on primary and derived ones. Primary disorders create the core of the disorder, derived disorders create a component of other disorders.

My classification of primary disorders is as follows:

1. age dependent disorders of behavior
2. disorders in the dynamical structure and in phases of behavior
3. integrative disorders of behavior, disorders of the will, which is the sign of the developed behavior of the individual.

The work is addresses to everone who is interested in his/her owm behavior, but especially for the Medical faculty and psychiatrists, for students of all our faculties.

Rozhodovanie sa je našou každodennou činnosťou, či už ide o rozhodnutie o takých bežných záležitostiach, ako čo si dáme na raňajky alebo o tom, pre akú prácu sa rozhodneme po skončení školy. Práve kvôli ďalekosiahlym dôsledkom, ktoré môže mať jedno rozhodnutie na celý náš život, ide o oblasť, ktorej bola v psychológii venovaná veľká pozornosť. Veď klasické ciele psychológie ako popísanie, vysvetlenie či predvídanie ľudského správania sú vlastne pokusmi o vysvetlenie rozhodovania, snahou o nájdenie a popísanie faktorov, ktoré naň pôsobia. Snažia sa o to základné psychologické disciplíny ako psychológia emócií a motivácie, kognitívna psychológia, sociálna psychológia či psychológia osobnosti. V predkladanom texte prevláda najmä kognitívny prístup, sústreďujúci sa na proces spracovania a využívania informácií. Keďže je len veľmi málo skutočností, ktorých výskytom v budúcnosti si môžeme byť úplne istí, základnými pojmami sú slová vyjadrujúce neurčitosť smerom do budúcnosti, ako sú neistota, riziko, objektívna a subjektívna pravdepodobnosť. Hlavnou otázkou je teda spracovanie informácií prichádzajúcich z prostredia a proces ich využitia v procese tvorby rozhodnutí. Sú popísané faktory, ktoré vplývajú na formovanie úsudkov i na tvorbu konečného rozhodnutia. Keď sa pozrieme napr. na príčiny finančnej a následnej ekonomickej krízy, začínajúcej v roku 2008, vidíme že jedným z hlavných faktorov jej vzniku bolo nesprávne vnímanie pravdepodobností, považovanie rizikových investícií za veľmi bezpečné. Dúfam, že predkladaný text napomôže k efektívnejšiemu usudzovaniu a rozhodovaniu, aby sa vám podobné osobné krízy, ktoré by mohli byť následkom nesprávneho úsudku, vyhli. Istým opodstatnením vydania učebného textu je aj nedostatok pôvodnej literatúry venujúcej sa prezentovanej problematike, aj keď už aj v našich podmienkach je psychológia rozhodovania oblasťou záujmu stále väčšieho počtu výskumníčok a výskumníkov.

Teaching belongs among the oldest professions in human history. Despite all efforts to innovate education by substituting the teacher using the products of the rapidly developing information and communication technologies in modern teaching concepts, the teacher continues to play a decisive role in the education process. If it is to be controlled, it cannot work without a teacher.

To be a teacher means to accept the responsibility for the education of the next generation: to prepare young people for their life and future profession. To be a good teacher means to possess certain characteristics related to professionalism, thinking, expectations and leadership. It means to master different teaching and learning strategies as well as motivation methods, endure the stress and pressure of the school environment, use basic social and communication skills actively and efficiently, follow the progress of their pupils to help them improve, and also to be capable of optimally resolving emerging educational situations and issues (Rovňanová, 2015).

It suggests that the teacher must be a “master” in their profession, i. e. they must never stop learning, improving themselves, creatively working with the educational content and innovating the process of education. Innovations can come along as early as during the initial stages of one’s teaching career. Practical professional training for future teachers largely focuses on the development of subject-related and didactic skills, however, self-reflection is paid little attention. Self-reflective techniques and methods may be incorporated in the practical professional training for students in model situations in the faculty environment as well as in the actual school environments during their teaching practice.

Based on the analysis of self-reflection competences in future teachers, opinions of the mentor teachers and their recommendations and the set of pupil-oriented and educational process-oriented competences, a protocol for using self-reflection methods has been created. More precisely, it is a self-reflection teaching diary. It is an innovative method of self-reflection competence development in teaching students in their practical specialized preparation, particularly the self-reflective observation practice and conversation.

The Self-Reflection Teaching Diary is the outcome of the VVGS “Innovation in self-reflection competence development teaching methods in the practical specialized training of future teachers” grant project solving. It is an innovative and creative text-based tool not only for teaching students but also for university teachers specializing in their practical preparation as well as mentor teachers in primary and secondary schools. Its English version can be used by teaching students on their study stays abroad. It is also a transparent and unified tool in the practical preparation of future teachers aiming at the development of their self-reflection competences.

So záujmom som si prečítal návrh na znovuvydanie monografie prof. PhDr. Jána Hvozdíka, DrSc., Základy školskej psychológie. Bolo pre mňa cťou byť v redakčnej rade nového vydania učebnice. Znovuvydanie učebnice sa deje v čase, keď ako sa zdá, školská psychológia prežíva renesanciu svojho uplatňovania. Nie je to náhodou, pretože profesorova koncepcia školskej psychológie ako teoreticko-aplikovanej a integrovanej psychologickej disciplíny, ktorá sa usiluje nielen priamo, ale aj nepriamo, to znamená pedagogickou praxou učiteľov, ovplyvniť konkrétne situácie výchovno-vzdelávacej praxe v školskom prostredí. Zo svojej strany oceňujem aj to, že v učebnici sa venuje pozornosť stále aktuálnemu samoučeniu, to znamená autodidaktike žiakov a študentov. Školská psychológia sa stala profilovým predmetom, v rámci ktorého sa realizujú aj jej špecializácie. Treba pripomenúť skutočnosť, že v podmienkach totality profesor nebol členom KSS a napriek tomu má veľkú zásluhu na budovaní školského poradenstva nielen v teórii, ale aj v praxi, čo vzbudzuje úctu a obdiv. Znovuvydanie učebnice nie je jeho ospravedlňovaním, ale vyzdvihovaním jeho pozitív.

Buddy systém sa zameriava na pomoc študentom a študentkám pri adaptácii na vysokoškolské prostredie a na zlepšenie ich duševnej pohody v osobnom kontakte, ale aj online. V dnešnej dobe, keď sa mladí ľudia stretávajú s rôznymi výzvami a tlakmi (rovnováha školského, pracovného a osobného života, akademický tlak, technologické a informačné výzvy, sociálne tlaky...), je nevyhnutné poskytnúť im v univerzitnom prostredí efektívnu a ľahko dostupnú pomoc. Buddy systém však nie je len o poskytovaní akademickej pomoci, ale aj o vytváraní vzťahov, podpore a priateľstve.

Každý rodič i učitel si přeje, aby děti byly šťastné a úspěšné. Ale nadané děti jsou natolik specifické, že jejich motivace, chování, myšlení i prožívání můžou být okolím nesprávně interpretovány a přinášet jim tak trápení, nepochopení a problémy – jak doma, tak ve škole. Intelekt, paměť, vnímavost, citlivost i zvídavost  nadaných dětí bývají od útlého věku fenomenální, v některých oblastech může být ale vývoj naopak nerovnoměrný až opožděný. A proto vyžadují specifický přístup. Výchova a vzdělávání těchto dětí může být pro dospělé velmi náročná až stresující a dostávat je do situací bezradnosti i vyčerpání.

Tato kniha umožňuje rodičům a učitelům těchto dětí podívat se pod pokličku a tím jim přinést pochopení, porozumění a bezvýhradné přijetí těchto dětí. Nabízí jim praktická doporučení pro výchovu i konkrétní cvičení, techniky a metody vzdělávání – a to s jediným cílem: aby byly nadané děti šťastné, aby mohly plně rozvíjet svůj mimořádný potenciál a nadání, pracovat na svých slabých stránkách a v životě uspět. Knihu mohou číst i nadaní dospělí, kteří chtějí více porozumět svému vnitřnímu (nadanému) dítěti.

Autorka, zkušená terapeutka, velmi empaticky a poutavě přináší poprvé na český trh komplexně zpracovanou problematiku nadaných dětí, založenou na osobní zkušenosti, nejnovějších poznatcích i skutečných příbězích těchto dětí.

Predložený vysokoškolský učebný text „ Úvod do poradenskej psychológie „ poskytuje študentovi jednak komplexnejší pohľad na disciplínu poradenskej psychológie, ale zároveň obsahuje kapitoly, ktoré mu približujú konkrétnejšie samotný proces poradenstva a problematiku pomáhajúcich spôsobilosti v poradenstve. Okrem toho publikácia obsahuje kapitolu, ktorá prináša niektoré paradigmy poradenskej psychológie. Dôležitou časťou publikácie je kapitola v ktorej sa aplikuje vývin do poradenstva. Táto časť práce obsahuje pod kapitoly: poradenstvo deťom, proaktívne poradenstvo adolescentom a poradenstvo starším dospelým. Súčasťou publikácie je kapitola o etike , ktorá súvisí s poradenskou psychológiou. Predložené učebné texty sa opierajú o relevantné teoretické pramene a sprístupňujú ich študentovi. Možno povedať, že predložená práca s inými prispieva svojim dielom k zaplneniu veľkej medzery, ktorá v tejto aplikovanej oblasti psychológie vznikla v posledných dvoch desaťročiach.
