Izobraževanje v zaporih in skotopični sindrom

Cizelj, Kaja (author), Radovan, Marko (mentor), Kelava, Polona (co-mentor)

Obsojencem je v času prestajanja zaporne kazni omogočeno izobraževanje, ki ima, po raziskavah sodeč, mnoge pozitivne učinke na udeležence izobraževanja. Po koncu prestajanja zaporne kazni te osebe lažje najdejo zaposlitev, izboljšajo se medosebni odnosi, znajo bolje komunicirati in reševati konflikte itd. Vse to pa pripomore k temu, da te osebe po koncu prestajanja zaporne kazni ne zaidejo v kriminal. Ravno zaradi omenjenih razlogov je pomembno, da se čim več obsojencev med prestajanjem zaporne kazni vključi v izobraževanje, vendar podatki kažejo, da se mnogo obsojencev spoprijema z učnimi težavami. Učne težave imajo lahko velik vpliv na odločitev o vključitvi v izobraževanje in na samo uspešnost v izobraževanju oz. uspešen zaključek izobraževalnega programa, zato je pomembno, da jih odkrivamo in osebam s temi težavami ponudimo ustrezno pomoč. Z raziskavo smo ugotavljali prisotnost skotopičnega sindroma med obsojenci, saj gre za sindrom, ki lahko (med drugim) povzroča učne težave. S testiranjem za skotopični sindrom smo ugotovili prisotnost skotopičnega sindroma pri treh od štirih testiranih obsojencih in odkrili težave, ki jim jih ta povzroča. Za vsakogar izmed njih smo določili tudi individualen odtenek barvnih folij Irlen, ki lahko deloma odpravi omenjene težave. Z intervjujem pa smo preverjali še uspešnost intervjuvancev v primarnem šolanju, morebitno prisotnost učnih težav, vključenost v izobraževanje in želje po izobraževanju med prestajanjem zaporne kazni ter mnenja o učinkih takega izobraževanja na življenje po prestani zaporni kazni. Obsojencem, pri katerih smo ugotovili skotopični sindrom, so izbrane folije Irlen pomagale pri odpravi ali zmanjšanju simptomov skotopičnega sindroma, prav tako pa smo ugotovili, da ocenjujejo izobraževanje v času prestajanja zaporne kazni kot pomembno za vključitev v družbo po prestani zaporni kazni.

• Title: Prison education and scotopic sensitivity syndrome

Abstract

While serving a prison sentence, convicts are offered a possibility to enrol in an educational programme, which, according to research, provides many positive effects. After completing their prison sentence, the participants of an educational programme find it easier to find a job, improve their interpersonal relationships, their communication, ability of resolving conflicts, etc. - which all helps to ensure that these people do not commit another criminal offense after the end of their detention. Precisely for these reasons, it is important that as many convicts as possible are included in education while serving their prison sentences. However, the data show that many convicts also face learning difficulties. These learning difficulties can have a major impact on the decision to enrol in an educational programme and the very success in education or the successful completion of the educational program, so it is highly important to recognize these difficulties and offer appropriate help to people with these problems. Through our research, we have identified the presence of the Irlen syndrome among convicts, as this is a syndrome that can (among other things) cause learning difficulties. With the help of Irlen syndrome screening, we detected the presence of the Irlen syndrome in three of the four convicts tested and determined the problems caused by Irlen syndrome. An individual colour of Irlen overlays, which can to some extent eliminate the mentioned problems, has been determined for each of the tested subjects. Using the interview, we also examined the success of the convicts in primary school, the possible presence of learning difficulties, involvement in and desire for education while serving a prison sentence, as well as their views on the effects such education has on life after their sentence is over convicts diagnosed with the Irlen syndrome, the selected Irlen coloured overlays helped to eliminate or reduce the symptoms of Irlen syndrome. We have also found that they assess education while serving a prison sentence an important factor for inclusion in society after serving a prison sentence.
