‘Needle And Stick’ Save The World: Sustainable Development And The Universal Child, Johan Dahlbeck, Moa De Lucia Dahlbeck Dec 2011

‘Needle And Stick’ Save The World: Sustainable Development And The Universal Child, Johan Dahlbeck, Moa De Lucia Dahlbeck

Moa Dahlbeck

This text deals with a problem concerning processes of the productive power of knowledge. We draw on so called poststructural theories challenging the classical image of thought – as hinged upon a representational logic identifying entities in a rigid sense – when formulating a problem concerning the gap between knowledge and the object of knowledge. More specifically we are looking at this problem in the contexts of sustainable development and childhood using illustrating examples in order to test the validity of these theoretical accounts. The examples we use range from internationally agreed documents claiming universality concerning environmental protection and childhood …

This study examined the mediating role of loneliness (assessed by self-report at Time 2; Grade 6) in the relation between early social preference (assessed by peer report at Time 1; kindergarten through Grade 3) and adolescent anxious/depressed symptoms (assessed by mother, teacher, and self-reports at Time 3; Grades 7–9).

Teoria, Metodo E Analise: As Interconexões Necessárias No Estudo Das Crianças E Das Famílias, Jonathan Tudge, Fabienne Doucet, Sherrill W. Hayes

Sherrill W. Hayes

In this article, we argue that there must be a clear and consistent connection in research between the theory that we use, the methods that we employ, and the way in which we analyze our data. This is true no matter what aspects of children and families are being studied, although we study children and their families in different cultural contexts. The theoretical approach that we use is derived from Urie Bronfenbrenner’s recent writings. His theory is an ecological and systemic theory, forcing us to examine simultaneously aspects of the developing individual, aspects of the context (immediate, distal, and historical), …
