The article describes features of the influence of ideological orientations of personality on building a picture of the world and the self-image. It defines specificity of self-cognition, self-realization and self-identity process in adolescence. Determinants of ideological orientations formation are mentioned. The features of synergistic approach to the study of world view formation, the self-image, the hierarchy of personal values in a contemporary environment are considered. Differences were defined of life values, senses, perceptions about the meaning of life between creative and talented high school students and other high school students from regular schools. The influence of social and cultural factors on these differences (social status of parents of high school students, the prestige of school) is analyzed.

Researches on levels of happiness enable to comprehensively analyse information about the society, political culture and public spirit. One of the fields of such researches can be the research on the relation between the level of happiness of the society and governance of the state. Responding to this field, the public opinion research centre “Vilmorus” conducted a representative survey of Lithuanian population, aiming to find out respondents’ opinions about the level of happiness last year and during next five years’ period as well as their attitude to that part of public expenditure which, seeking the increase of residents’ level of happiness, should be allocated for defence of the state. In total, 1005 respondents were surveyed (people over 18 years old from 19 towns and 31 villages). The research also revealed that the level of happiness determined respondents’ opinions about distribution of state budget and funding of defence of the state. It was found that in the opinion of respondents with lower level of happiness there was no need to allocate funds for defence of the state at all.

Mathematical reasoning is often underdeveloped in students with learning disabilities (LD). Problem solving and reasoning represent one of the most important aspects of a mathematics curriculum. The purpose of the present study was to examine how communication through writing in mathematics via a digital environment impacts the mathematical reasoning of students with and without LD. Specifically, the research was guided by research questions: (1) What differences exist between the mathematical reasoning of students with and without LD prior to and after using a digital writing environment? (2) How does use of the digital writing environment differ between students with and without LD? (3) To what extent does student reasoning change overtime when emphasis is placed on communication via writing in mathematics? Oral reading and math fact fluency as well as participants’ working memory were used as academic variables. The Math Reasoning Inventory (MRI; Burns, 2012) is a formative assessment designed to evaluate mathematical reasoning through a face-to-face interview. The primary focus is on core numerical reasoning strategies and understanding. Subjects participated in an intervention focused on communication in mathematics through the use of digital writing tools in a computer-based mathematics program. Results reveal that communication through writing or peer-based discussions around mathematics can impact students’ reasoning skills. Reasoning is a fundamental skill in mathematics and remains an area in which students with LD continuously struggle; therefore, interventions focused on advancing student reasoning will be increasingly pivotal to mathematics education. Students in this study showed improvement in different areas of reasoning over the course of the intervention and responded differently to the types of writing environments that were offered. Regardless of which digital environment was preferred by students with and without LD, results demonstrated that incorporating writing into mathematics to communicate mathematical information benefited all students in this study and has the potential to impact mathematics education.

A deaf individual’s language cognizance is one of the main factors leading to his/her inclusion in the community of the deaf. Sign language has a major influence on the development and creation of deaf individuals’ identity. The conscious use of sign language as a communication tool is closely related to the different perception of the world and, thus, culture dissimilarities. At present, the subject ‘Sign Language’, contributing to the overall development of language cognizance of deaf individuals — sign language users -, is being introduced at primary schools for hearing impaired individuals within the framework education programme. The following text presents the conclusions of the research focused on ascertaining the perception of sign language, the level of knowledge relating to the theory of sign language, and the position of sign language in the society (culture of the deaf) on the part of sign language users themselves — pupils at 2nd level primary schools for hearing impaired individuals — through the qualitative approach method.

Internationally there has been increased recognition of the value of strength based assessment in educational and mental health service delivery. While there are a number of informal methods for determining a child’s strengths and assets, there are few standardized strength based assessments available for international use. In this study the teacher version of the Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale-Second Edition (BERS-2) was translated into Lithuanian to determine its factor structure for use in Lithuania. The results suggest that the Lithuanian BERS-2 can be a useful strength based assessment for teachers and schools in Lithuania.

A set of moral standards plays an important role in social life, as it forms the basis for assessing the attitudes and behaviors of individuals. Ethics attempts to determine and resolve normative issues relating to the specific social situations. Thus provides a basis for establishing the rules of human functioning in the situation arising from a particular social or professional role. The purpose of this paper is to present some aspects of professional ethics of social workers affecting the standards of the profession. Secondary sources were used in preparation of this text, especially code of ethics of social workers and other axiological contents on the issues discussed. A social worker, whose activities are essentially social, performs many professional roles. Therefore, they should be guided by values and moral principles, arising from general ethics and specific standards contained in the code of ethics of the profession. Codified professional ethics helps a social worker in the proper performance of duties and is a reference point for resolving ethical dilemmas. Standards contained in the code of ethics uphold the dignity of the profession and at the same time indicate how the representatives of the profession should behave, and how they should not. The provisions of the code of ethics relate to the profession, relationships with coworkers, beneficiaries, employers and society. They include specific objectives and tasks of social work, understood as a practical human activity for people who need support and assistance in the fulfillment of basic needs and solving problems arising as a result of deprivation of those needs.

The objective of the submitted contribution is to describe the issue of oral motor praxis in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The initial section of the contribution deals with the theoretical solutions relating to the given issue and, concurrently, provides information on the already implemented research focused on the given issue. The central domain is the analysis of oral motor ability in children with ASD through the application of the partial task activity ‘Warm-up’ from the software programme FONO 2. The results of the longitudinal observation are detected through the created evaluation scale and are recorded in the form of tables and graphs that are, subsequently, analysed. The results of the study constitute partial solutions of the specific research project IGA (IGA 2014/2015 PdF 2014_016), which was implemented by the Institute of Special Education Studies of the Faculty of Education Palacký University in Olomouc (principal researchers: Kateřina Vitásková, Alena Říhová).

Schooling period is particularly important for posture formation because during this period pupils grow and develop quickly, bones and their commissures are intensively forming. The child should also get knowledge about hygiene and healthy lifestyle but still more significance is attached to physical exercises, active physical activities, strengthening all body muscles. 60 eighth form pupils at the age from 13 to 14 years participated in the research. The majority of adolescents choose more than one kind of physical activity but physical education lessons remain the main occupation during which children engage in physical activities. More than a half of adolescents do exercises on their own, less than a half of them go to workouts or the sports club.
