Stališča učiteljev razrednega pouka in svetovalnih delavcev o zlorabah otrok

Poropat, Suzana (author), Krek, Janez (mentor)

Ker zlorabe in medosebne travme v naši družbi obstajajo, je dolžnost šole in učiteljev, da le-te preprečijo, oziroma lajšajo njihove posledice. Če je učenec žrtev domačega nasilja in šola to prepozna, vendar se ne odzove, šola taka dejanja posredno podpira. V magistrskem delu smo v teoretičnem delu predstavili oblike zlorab, lastnosti žrtev in lastnosti storilcev, pa tudi pomembne zakone in predpise, ki urejajo področje zlorab otrok, nasilja v družini in ukrepanje odgovornih institucij v Republiki Sloveniji. Potem smo se osredotočili na vlogo šole in predstavili dejavnike in razloge za zlorabo otrok. V empiričnem delu smo s pomočjo kvantitativne raziskave, in sicer z anketnimi vprašalniki, ki smo jih razdelili med učitelje razrednega pouka in svetovalne delavce osnovnih šol, ugotavljali in analizirali, kako učitelji in svetovalni delavci poznajo specifične znake zlorab otrok, ali so sposobni ukrepati ob primerih zlorab učencev, ali sodelujejo z zunanjimi institucijami (centrom za socialno delo, policijo, pravosodjem, terapevti …), koliko znanja pridobijo v času dodiplomskega izobraževanja in ali se udeležujejo seminarjev ter delavnic o zlorabah otrok. Dobljene rezultate smo primerjali z rezultati enakega anketnega vprašalnika, izvedenega leta 2007. Raziskava je pokazala, da se svetovalni delavci počutijo bolj kompetentni kot učitelji razrednega pouka za ukrepanje ob sumu na zlorabo otrok. Anketiranci na dodiplomskem študiju niso obravnavali tem s področja zlorab oz. neprimernega ravnanja z otroki. Svetovalni delavci bolje poznajo znake čustvenega nasilja in spolne zlorabe, enako kot učitelji pa znake telesne zlorabe in zanemarjanja. Ugotovili smo tudi, da so rezultati podobni rezultatom iz leta 2007, le pri prepoznavanju znakov spolnih zlorab smo ugotovili, da jih anketiranci bolje poznajo kot so jih leta 2007. Navedli smo tudi predloge in konkretne zapise anketirancev za bodoče izboljšanja dela učiteljev in svetovalnih delavcev. S to raziskavo želimo opozoriti učitelje razrednega pouka in svetovalne delavce o pomembnosti poznavanja zlorab oz. neprimernega ravnanja z otroki in o tem, kako pomembno je o zlorabah govoriti in nadgrajevati svoje znanje.

• Title: Views of teachers and school counsellors on child abuse

Abstract

Since abuse and interpersonal trauma exist in our society, schools and teachers have the duty to prevent them or at least to mitigate their consequences. If a pupil is a victim of domestic violence and the school staff notice it, but do not react, they support such actions. The theoretical part of this thesis presents the forms of abuse, characteristics of both victims and abusers, along with relevant laws and regulations that govern the area of child abuse, domestic abuse and measures taken by responsible institutions in the Republic of Slovenia. It also focuses on the school's role and presents the factors and reasons for child abuse. The empirical part studies and analyzes the degree to which teachers and support staff are familiar with specific signs of child abuse, their ability to intervene in case of abuse of pupils, whether or not they cooperate with external institutions (Social Work Center, the police, the justice system, therapists …), the amount of knowledge they gain during their undergraduate education and whether or not they attend seminars and workshops on child abuse. The study is quantitative and it was carried out using questionnaires that were distributed among teachers and support staff of primary schools. Its findings are compared to the findings of the same study, carried out in 2007. The study shows that support staff feel more competent for the intervention when suspecting child abuse than class teachers. The participants did not cover subjects from the field of abuse or inappropriate treatment of children during their undergraduate education. Support staff are better at recognizing the signs of emotional violence and sexual abuse, while both groups are on the same level when it comes to noticing physical abuse and neglect. It is also noted that the findings are similar to those from 2007, the only relevant difference is that this time, the participants were better at recognizing signs of sexual abuse than participants from 2007. Suggestions and specific records of participants are also given in order to improve the work of teachers and support staff in the future. The purpose of this study is to highlight the importance of recognizing abuse or inappropriate treatment of children to class teachers and support staff, and the importance of discussing abuse and upgrading our knowledge on the topic.
