Early Intervention : Cross-Cultural Experiences with a Mediational Approach
by Pnina S. Klein, P. Klein, Karsten Hundeide "Why Is an
Educational Early Intervention Needed?..." (more)
Book Description:
Aid agencies, including the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, and
Redd Barna, have supported research projects on early intervention with
high-risk children in various countries. This work discusses implementation,
intervention, and outcomes of the Mediational Intervention for Sensitizing
Caregivers (MISC) in Israel, Sweden, the United States, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, and
India. Whereas most interventions are designed to enhance children's skills or
abilities, the objective of the MISC approach is to create behaviors that are
essential for future learning: concentration, comprehension, association and
connection of past, present, and future experiences, the seeking of success or
approval, self-evaluation, and planning. The book explains how teachers,
caregivers, and parents can be trained to identify and emphasize the positive
aspects of their interaction with children. It also discusses variables in the
objectives, processes, and outcomes that should be considered prior to
intervention with young children in different cultures and with special-needs
populations. An index is provided. |
