Authors: Minnakhmetova D. R. , Topolnitsky O. Z. , Rizakhanova A. M. , Tikhonova I. V.
Published: October 2024

Relevance. Malocclusions accounts for 37% to 89% of all maxillofacial conditions in children aged 3 to 18 across various regions of Russia. These malocclusions can present as isolated issues in a single plane or as combined anomalies across multiple planes. Jaw narrowing or underdevelopment is influenced by various endogenous and exogenous factors. The choice of treatment depends on the severity of the malocclusion. While literature indicates several effective methods for treating transverse malocclusions, some aspects remain insufficiently explored.

Materials and methods. A statistical analysis was conducted on 271 patient records of individuals with transverse malocclusions who received treatment in the Department of Pediatric Maxillofacial Surgery at A.I. Evdokimov Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, between 2013 and 2023.

Results. There was an almost equal distribution of patients by gender, with a noticeable increase in medical consultations from 2013 to 2023. The majority of surgically treated patients were between 15 and 17 years old. Isolated transverse malocclusions were significantly less common than cases combined with other pathologies, with mesial occlusion being the most frequent comorbidity.

Conclusion. The findings demonstrate a significant need for surgical treatment in pediatric patients with transverse malocclusions through distraction osteogenesis. This underscores the importance of continually improving treatment methods for children, including enhancing diagnostics, refining treatment indications, optimizing distraction protocols, and adjusting treatment courses. These efforts aim to improve the quality of rehabilitation for children, ensuring better outcomes into adulthood and facilitating their social adaptation.
STATE POLICY ON THE PROTECTION OF NATIONAL INTERESTS OF UKRAINE IN THE INTERNET ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Diakiv Nazar
Published: October 2024

The article deals with the problem of protecting Ukraine’s national interests in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The Internet is seen as a space for free expression of opinions, but often turns into a battlefield in the information war. The article analyses the processes of informatisation of society and the increase in the number of Internet users. The impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on the leading Internet providers and their political position is analysed. Today, Ukraine enjoys great support from leading campaigns in this area, but the aggressor country is heavily funding war propaganda. Attention is drawn to the results of statistics on cyberattacks on state institutions and the public by the Russian Federation. It is emphasised that today state institutions, business and society in Ukraine have united to counteract the negative information influence of Russia. The structure of Ukraine’s national interests, priorities and directions of their protection are defined.
Attention is focused on the fact that the Russian Federation attracts teenagers to extremist and radical activities on the Internet. This additionally threatens the national interests of Ukraine. Prevention of extremism is based on raising the legal, political and general culture of citizens, and shaping a positive image of the state. Therefore, it is justified to take effective measures to develop a powerful ideological corpus, a national idea and to adhere to the state’s strategy for European integration.
It is important to establish systematic training of specialists in the field of protecting national interests in the Internet space, enhancing the preventive role of the media and institutional support for analytical, educational, propaganda and information work. The author proposes to develop a powerful system of countering manipulations on the Internet, which will include technological developments, methodology, ideological component, legal and educational measures. The author substantiates the necessity of Ukraine’s integration into the global and regional European information space; integration into international information and telecommunication systems and organisations; modernisation and certain changes in the information policy; improvement of legislation on harmonisation of national legislation with international standards; introduction of modern information and communication technologies into public administration processes, etc.

Posthuman child: Implications for pedagogy and educational research?
Authors: Murris Karin
Published: October 2024

Posthumanists propose an urgent and complete re-thinking of our relationships to other humans and the more-than-human. The Western culture/nature dichotomy is currently the ontological framework responsible for (adult) humans’ extractive and detached relationship to nature. The current ecological crisis forces us to re-examine the ontological foundations of how humans relate to one another and to the worlds we co-create. In this chapter, I re-turn to the question what the human is through the concept ‘child’, thereby pushing back at those scholars who simply include child in their critique of ‘the’ human. But child as a concept is complex and refers to chronological, fleshy child in spacetime, as well as the abstract notion that exists only because of its polar opposite, i.e., adult. Working with multiple temporalities and the awareness that earth dwellers – including children and more-thanhuman – are not all ‘on the same timeline’ is particularly generative for childhood studies: child(hood) is not something we (adults) leave behind. With reference to various examples from scholarship that resists erasures between past and future(s), the chapter asks ontological questions about the concept ‘child’ and discusses why it matters epistemologically, ethically and politically for teaching and research to move away from current representational paradigms in education science.

Im Beitrag werden Kindheits- und Schüler:innenforschung als zwei eigenständige Forschungsfelder skizziert, die in der Analyse der Wechselwirkungen zwischen Schule und außerschulischen Lebenswelten einen zentralen und sich überschneidenden Gegenstandsbereich haben. Auch wenn nach wie vor die Perspektiven und Positionen von Kindern zwischen Schule und Familie nur vereinzelt analysiert werden, lässt sich am Beispiel ausgewählter Befunde des Projekts „Kinder zwischen Chancen und Barrieren“ aufzeigen, welche Einblicke durch eine solche Perspektive auf das Zusammenspiel von Schule und Elternhaus möglich werden. Im Beitrag werden auf der Basis von qualitativen leitfadengestützten Interviews mit Grundschulkindern (N = 42) zu Kontakten zwischen Schule und Familie inhaltsanalytisch diverse Selbstpositionierungen herausgearbeitet (Kinder als „Gegenstand der Kommunikation“, als „Machtlose“, als „Informierte“, als „(Des-)Interessierte“, als „Gatekeeper“ und als „Verbesserungsprojekt“). Mit diesen Perspektivierungen auf die (schulpädagogische) Gestaltung der Kommunikation und Kooperation zwischen Schule und Familie wird an ein internationales Forschungsfeld angeknüpft, das sich mit der ‚missing person‘ (Walker 2002) im Verhältnis von Schule und Familie beschäftigt.

Der vorliegende Beitrag widmet sich thematisch der Interaktionsqualität zwischen pädagogischen Fachkräften und Kindern in institutionellen Kontexten auf der Grundlage von Forschungsergebnissen des im Bereich der Kindheitsforschung angesiedelten Projektes PIIQUE (Pro). Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob sich der spezifisch für das Interaktionssystem Unterricht herausgearbeitete komplementäre Interaktionsmodus auch in anderen sozialen Feldern beobachten lässt – z.B. in der Kindertagesstätte und hier konkret im Setting Morgenkreis. Die dieser theoretisch verorteten Diskussion zugrunde liegenden Ergebnisse einer videografischen Studie von 22 Gesprächsrunden in 24 Morgenkreisen zeigen, dass Formen eines erwachsenorientiert-responsiven Interaktionsmodus deutlich häufiger vertreten sind als inklusiv-inkludierende Interaktionsmodi. Das im Projekt theoriegeleitet entwickelte Kategoriensystem „Interaktionsmodi im Morgenkreis“ berücksichtigt neben den in der Literatur beschriebenen inkludierenden und exkludierenden für die nähere Betrachtung der erwachsenenorientierten Interaktionsmodi die komplementären Interaktionsmodi. Die Erkenntnisse diesbezüglich basieren auf einer im Kontext der Unterrichtsforschung angesiedelten Studie zu spezifischen, institutionell begründeten Interaktionsmodi zwischen Lehrkräften und Schüler:innen.

Spannungsfelder des elterlichen Arrangierens von Grundschulkinderbetreuung und ihre Implikationen für die öffentliche Angebotsgestaltung
Authors: Kairies Christoph
Published: October 2024

Während mittlerweile ein breites Forschungsfeld zum Verhältnis von Familie und Schule vorzufinden ist (vgl. Thiersch/Silkenbeumer 2022), sind Forschungen und Diskurslinien, die die Alltagspraxis der Familien(mitglieder) und weitere Bildungs- und Betreuungssettings mit einbeziehen eher die Ausnahme. Vor dieser Folie richtet sich der Beitrag darauf, wie Eltern die Kinderbetreuung im Grundschulalter arrangieren. Ausgehend von einer wissenssoziologisch-praxeologischen Perspektive auf Familie (vgl. Bohnsack 2017; Jurczyk, 2014; 2020) wurden im Rahmen des Promotionsprojektes ,Kinderbetreuungsarrangements aus Elternperspektive‘ Interviews analysiert, um kommunikative Wissensbestände und handlungsleitende Orientierungen von Eltern zu rekonstruieren. Im Beitrag werden anhand exemplarischer Fallanalysen Spannungsfelder zwischen Familie und Beruf im elterlichen Arrangieren von Grundschulkinderbetreuung herausgearbeitet. Ein besonderes Augenmerk wird hierbei auf die elterlichen Funktionszuschreibungen an Betreuungsformate für Kinder im Grundschulalter vor dem Hintergrund der familialen Alltagspraxis gerichtet. Auf diese Weise wird eine Akteursperspektive für die Qualitätsentwicklung (schulischer) Betreuungsformate empirisch ausleuchtet und Schlussfolgerungen daraus für die öffentliche Angebotsgestaltung diskutiert.

Zum Zusammenhang von sozialer Partizipation mit kind- und lehrkraftbezogenen Variablen
Authors: Schürer Sina
Published: October 2024

Gelingende soziale Partizipation gilt als eines der Hauptziele inklusiver Bildung. Forschungsbefunde zeigen jedoch, dass Partizipation nicht allein durch inklusive Beschulung gesichert werden kann. Dabei zeigen sich Unterschiede im Ausmaß der sozialen Partizipation zwischen Klassen, sodass es naheliegt, neben Lernenden- auch Lehrkraftmerkmale in den Blick zu nehmen. In dieser Studie wird die selbstwahrgenommene soziale Partizipation von Lernenden mit schwachen Schulleistungen und Migrationshintergrund untersucht. Darüber hinaus analysiert der Beitrag zwei lehrkraftbezogene Variablen. Es wird überprüft, ob (1) die Interaktionsqualität zwischen Lehrkraft und Kind sowie (2) die Unterstützung von sozialen Gruppenprozessen durch die Lehrkraft in Zusammenhang mit der Partizipation stehen. Es wurden Daten einer standardisierten Fragebogenerhebung von 422 Lernenden aus 21 Klassen mittels hierarchischer Regressionsanalysen analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich leistungsschwache Lernende weniger eingebunden fühlen. Der Migrationshintergrund ist nicht prädiktiv für die Partizipation. Je positiver die Interaktion mit der Lehrkraft beschrieben wird und je mehr die Lehrkraft Gruppenprozesse unterstützt, desto positiver fällt die soziale Partizipation aus. Die Befunde werden mit Blick auf Implikationen für die schulische Praxis diskutiert. (DIPF/Orig.)
Ganztagsbildung aus der Perspektive von Kindern
Authors: Seitz Simone , Hamacher Catalina
Published: October 2024

In einer qualitativen Studie zur Qualität von Ganztagsbildung (Seitz/Berti/Hamacher 2023) wurden mit der Dokumentarischen Methode (Bohnsack 2017) die Orientierungen und das Erfahrungswissen von 20 Kindern auf Ganztagsbildung rekonstruiert. Die Analysen führen zu den Annahmen, dass Kinder dem Spiel eine spezifische Bedeutung beimessen und spielbezogene Erfahrungen sowohl in Aktivitäten, die typischerweise für die formale Bildung stehen (wie Unterricht), als auch in anderen, die zumeist der non-formalen sowie informellen Bildung zugeordnet werden, suchen und hier aktiv Handlungsräume ausgestalten. Im Beitrag diskutieren die Autorinnen von diesen Überlegungen ausgehend Orientierungen der Kinder in Bezug auf Spiel und verbinden hiermit kritische Anfragen an das Konzept „kindgerechter“ Ganztagsbildung.
