Journal Title: Вісник Житомирського державного університету імені Івана Франка - Year 2016, Vol 84, Issue 2
Abstract
Every nation has its own mechanisms of treating and overcoming orphanhood based on national traditions, culture, ethno-pedagogical principles of upbringing and education. Polish experience and institutional forms of care including SOS children's villages can be of use for Ukraine in improving its own system of orphan care. Embracing existing practices is especially and vitally essential due to geographical proximity of the two countries. The article provides an analysis of scientific papers and institutional forms of care which the author was able to study as a Layne-Kirkland scholarship holder at Adam Mickiewicz University (Poznań) and assesses the grounds for formation of SOS children's villages in Poland. The villages function was to create preconditions for family-like education and all-round development, satisfy children's physiological and psychological needs, prepare them for independent life and assist children in envisioning of their own future. The role of the SOS-mother appears to have been crucial in the child's rearing and development. The article also addresses the educational function of SOS children's villages. The educational potential of SOS children's villages, their advantages and disadvantages have been reviewed. Their activities generally fall under several common categories: corrective, speech and social therapy, excursions, presentations, sports contests, meetings, etc. The methods of education include that of modeling, suggestion, imitation, education through work, team activity, self-government, etc. Children participate in amateur talent groups; improve their linguistic and communicative competence. Education is provided in the form of preventive and didactic lessons in different subjects. SOS children's villages serve for improvement of educational activities and give children hope for happy childhood. The article outlines tasks, forms and methods of education and care in SOS children's villages.
