Social Sciences and Education Research Review, 5(2), 6-29. https://sserr.ro/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/SSERR_2018_5_2_6_29.pdf

    Abstract. The study purpose was to analyse 1) narratives of young people who experienced a war, fled to Sweden and were cared for and placed in institutions; 2) institution personnel narratives about the day-to-day work of taking care of young people who have experienced war; and 3) interactive patterns contributing to constructing the category ‘social pedagogue’. The material was gathered through interviews with young people in care with experiences of war and with personnel who work with these young people at residential or care homes. The social pedagogic perspective in social sciences stresses including the individual in the community, which gives the individual confirmation of an identity through community participation. Successful interaction between individuals is fundamental for achieving community integration of unaccompanied children and young people in Sweden. Analysis of the study’s empirical material reveals major variations in what is expected of a social pedagogue working in institutional care in Sweden with unaccompanied young refugees who have experiences of war. A common denominator is that the mission of and context in which the social pedagogue operates appear flexible enough to enable an individual to play the role in a variety of ways. Only when the individual social pedagogue adopts an active, assertive, independent, personal and relatively strong posture will there be a chance of being important to other professional categories and for the client. In practice, therefore, only when the individual social pedagogue transcends the expectations of the conventional role will there be a chance to be appreciated by other collaborators.

    Abstract. More and more children experience a new way of living as they are pushed to the streets due to the altering of the inter-human relations within family and to social reality. Social and economic changes worldwide have had a tremendous impact on the whole social system, including the structure and organization of family. After 1990, Romanian society witnessed the coming out of the phenomenon of street children. The issue of such children is still topical, due to the specificity of this social phenomenon, on the one hand, and to the different manners of diagnosing and initiating efficient measures capable of decreasing it. The article analyses several studies which focus on the characteristics of street children.

    Abstract. The article addresses the prerequisites for the development of a category of transversal competences of the teacher – emotional competences, which represent a novelty and interest issue in the postmodern pedagogy studies, focused on the professional training for the didactic career. The article tries to configure the cognitive nucleus of the emotional competence issues, based on conceptual analyzes in the representative literature, focused on comprehensive analyses of the terms of emotional competence and emotional intelligence. The multidimensional structures of the two conceptual domains, being in a functional connection, outline the perspectives of the theoretical and methodological approach of the teacher’s emotional competence profile. The presented theoretical foundations will be used in theoretical studies and future empirical research, which we intend to achieve, according to the general assumed objective, of developing a theoretical, methodological and operational system of the process of development of transversal competences for the didactic career, in general, and of the emotional ones in particular.

    Abstract. We intended to offer in this article a synthesis of the ways in which the culture developed at the corporate level is manifested. The term culture in the organizational analysis refers to the common values and believes that end up characterizing the organizations. Beyond the diversity of these variables, their intensity and their manner of manifestation vary from individual to individual, from one working group to another, but a strong organizational culture will always find and use a common denominator.

    Abstract. Radio broadcast journalism has certain principles and techniques which are always to be taken into consideration when writing a script. News writing for radio is based on some rigors meant to assure that the public will receive the information properly. First of all, radio news must be concise, clear, and accurate. The information should be meticulously verified and transmitted only when the radio journalist has a confirmation beyond any doubt. The script must answer to the most important journalistic questions (the so-called Five W’s: who, what, when, where, and why), and it is mandatory to be structured in a manner that helps the presenter draw and maintain the attention of the listeners for as long as possible. The text of the news must be easy to be read and easy to be understood. It is meant to be comprehended only by listening, so the editor should comply with the rules that guarantee an impeccable reception of the message transmitted.

    Abstract. The "Motivation and School Learning" work addresses students' motivation and learning issues, which helps them understand the benefits of these two processes, so that the goals set by them are attained. The theme chosen by us is important in that it presents the forms of motivation and its influence on the teaching-learning process and the harmonious development of the student's personality. To be motivated is to act, to tend towards something, to do something. A student who feels no impulse or need to act is an unmotivated student, while a student who is activated or energized to act toward a goal is considered a motivated student. It is important for the pupil to show interest in school, to accomplish the school tasks and to meet the established goals. To be successful, teachers need to form a teaching-learning style that motivates students, centered on arguing their usefulness, enhancing existing skills and competences, and ensuring action. It is good for teachers to encourage students to take ambitious goals or to persuade them to accept the goals they propose, depending on the interests and skills identified.

    Abstract. In this study, we review the changes that the mediatic text has undergone so far, subject to change of delivery method. The channel, the support is part of building block of the the text, and implicitly of the message. Thus, as shown below, dialogue, interactivity, and participation are traits that not only modify the mediatic text, but also bring about changes at the level of media ideology: the categorical boundaries between the subjective and the objective, the soft press and the hard press (Vattimo) weaken increasingly more.
