Im Beitrag wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie sich das Sagbare in organisationalen Schweigepraktiken im Kontext von Machtmissbrauch und Gewalt gegen Kinder und Jugendliche durch Mitarbeiter:innen verschiebt. Anhand einer Fallstudie im Bereich der stationären Eingliederungshilfe wird diskutiert, wie Übergriffe im professionellen Sprechen und Schreiben umgedeutet und ausgelassen werden können. Deutlich wird, wie in solchen Praktiken ein Schweigen über Gewalt in organisationalen Routinen und Praktiken über Jahre unaufwändig vollzogen werden kann. Der Artikel endet mit einem Resümee der Befunde und Überlegungen zu den Herausforderungen von Supervision in Bezug auf verschwiegene Gewaltkonstellationen in Organisationen.
Emotion-specific vocabulary and its relation to emotion understanding in children and adolescents
(2024)
Among children and adolescents, emotion understanding relates to academic achievement and higher well-being. This study investigates the role of general and emotion-specific language skills in children’s and adolescents’ emotion understanding, building on previous research highlighting the significance of domain-specific language skills in conceptual development. We employ a novel inventory (CEVVT) to assess emotion-specific vocabulary. The study involved 10–11-year-old children (N = 29) and 16–17-year-old adolescents (N = 28), examining their emotion recognition and knowledge of emotion regulation strategies. Results highlight the ongoing development of emotion-specific vocabulary across these age groups. Emotion recognition correlated with general vocabulary in the younger group. In the older age group, emotion recognition was related to emotion-specific vocabulary size, but this effect only became apparent when controlling for the depth of emotion-specific vocabulary. Against expectation, there were no significant contributions of general or emotion-specific vocabulary to knowledge of emotion regulation strategies in either age group. These findings enhance our comprehension of the nuanced interplay between language and emotion across developmental stages.
Im Sommer 2021 erschien die bundesweite Studie „Beteiligung von Kindern im Kita-Alltag“, die Fachhochschule Potsdam und die Universität Graz hatten sie im Auftrag des Bundesfamilienministeriums erstellt. Ein Team aus Wissenschaftlerinnen hatte Alltagssituationen in 89 Kitas und Krippen offen gefilmt und ausgewertet.
Vor allem beim Essen beobachteten die Forscherinnen immer wieder „grenzüberschreitenden Körperkontakt“ und nicht angemessenes Verhalten der pädagogischen Fachkräfte: Sie schoben etwa den Stuhl samt Kind so nah an den Tisch, dass das Kind den Oberkörper kaum bewegen konnte. Andere stellten den Teller auf dem Lätzchen ab, ebenfalls um zu verhindern, dass sich die Kinder beim Essen zu viel bewegen. In rund 30 % der zehnminütigen Essenssequenzen beobachteten die Forscherinnen solche Vorfälle ein- bis viermal. In 16 % der Situationen sogar noch öfter. Lediglich in einem Fünftel der ausgewerteten Spielsituationen und 11 % der Essenssequenzen beobachteten die Forscherinnen überhaupt kein grenzüberschreitendes Verhalten.
Kinderrechte im Kita-Alltag
(2023)
The current study investigates infants' and toddlers' understanding of teasing interactions and its effect on subsequent social interactions. Teasing is a special kind of social interaction due to its dual nature: It consists of a slightly provocative contingent action accompanied by positive ostensive emotional cues. Teasing thus presents an especially interesting test case to inform us about young children's abilities to deal with complex social intentions.
In a first experiment, we looked at 9-, 12-, and 18-month-old infants' ability to understand and differentiate a teasing intention from a trying intention and a refuse intention. We found that by 12 months of age, infants react differently (gaze, reach) and by 18 months they smile more in reaction to the Tease condition.
In the second experiment, we tested 13-, 20- and 30-month-old children in closely matched purely playful and teasing situations. We also investigated potential social effects of teasing interactions on a subsequent affiliation sequence. Twenty- and 30-month-old children smile more in the Teasing than in the Play condition. For the 30-month-old toddlers, additionally, number of laughs is much higher in the Tease than in the Play condition. No effect on affiliation could be found.
Thus, from very early in development, infants and toddlers are able to differentiate teasing from superficially similar but serious behavior and from around 18 months of age they enjoy it more. Infants and toddlers are able to process a complex social intention like teasing. Findings are discussed regarding infant and toddler intention understanding abilities.
In this paper, we want to present research on children’s perspectives in the context of participation. We emphasize that the survey of children's perspectives is a form of participation. We understand participation based on children’s rights. We refer to the Lundy model ([2007]. “‘Voice’ Is Not Enough: Conceptualising Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.” British Educational Research Journal 33 (6): 927–942. https://doi.org/10.1080/01411920701657033), which emphasizes that it is not enough to simply ask children to speak their minds. Rather, they also need the experience that their views have an influence. In the discourse on quality in ECEC, children's perspectives became only recently the focus of extended research. In evaluation instruments, at least in Germany, the inclusion of children’s perspectives is rare. In the study presented here, these two aspects are brought together using the example of the evaluation instrument QuaSi. We describe how children's perspectives are taken into account in the evaluation and feedback process in contrast to everyday life in ECEC centres. It becomes clear that the collection of children's perspectives and their feedback to the pedagogues in the centre does not automatically lead to their views influencing the quality of the centre.
The current understanding of cognitive development rests on the premise that infants can individuate objects early on. However, the so-called object-first account faces severe difficulties explaining extant empirical findings in object individuation tasks while alternative, more parsimonious explanations are available. In this paper, we assume that children start as feature-thinkers without being able to individuate objects and show how this ability can be learned by thinkers who do not already implicitly possess the notion of an object. Based on Tugendhat's ideas on the relation between singular terms and object reference, we argue that spatial indexicals comprise the fundamental means of object individuation and describe how feature thinkers might acquire the complex substitutional system of spatial indexicals. In closing, two accounts of object cognition that do not rely on symbolic capacities, namely Pylyshyn's FINST indexes and Burge's perceptual objectivity, are critically discussed.
Missachtet und abgehängt
(2022)
Obwohl Kinder in besonderer Weise von den Einschränkungen aufgrund der COVID-19-Pandemie betroffen sind, wurden ihre Rechte in der Krise nur mit großer Verzögerung und sehr unvollständig berücksichtigt. Um die Interessen von Kindern während zukünftiger Krisen nicht erneut zu missachten, ist die Verwirklichung eines Kinderrechtsansatzes auf allen Ebenen notwendig. Besonders wichtig ist dafür die Verankerung der Kinderrechte im Grundgesetz.
