2025-10-16T12:39:21+00:00

Introduction: Activity-riented group art therapy has been shown to effectively support children experiencing school maladjustment. Beginning with physical play activities, this approach reduces group members’ tension, stimulates curiosity, and encourages creative expression through guided media exploration. The integrated process, which involves completing creative work, promotes positive emotions such as achievement and satisfaction, and facilitates emotional release, thereby enhancing vitality. This method positively affects school adaptation by strengthening components of self-resilience, such as forming peer intimacy and improving interpersonal relationships and adaptability.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of activity-oriented group art therapy on self-resilience and school life adaptation among children experiencing difficulties adapting to school.

Methods: We included six elementary school students in A city who demonstrated maladjustment to school life. The intervention consisted of eight weekly group art therapy sessions conducted from July 2025 to August 2025.

Tools and Techniques: We used student self-resilience and school life adaptation scales as research tools. Data collected before and after the program were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test.

Results: The study showed that activity-oriented group art therapy led to statistically significant improvements in the overall self-resilience scores and all subdomains among children with school life maladjustment. Second, children who participated in activity-oriented group art therapy demonstrated improved adaptation to school life.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that activity-oriented group art therapy may serve as an effective intervention by enhancing self-resilience and positively affecting school life adaptation in children who are not adapted to school life.

The Essential Role of Responsible Recruitment: An Innovative Approach to Functional Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

2025-11-08T07:01:42+00:00

This research aims to answer the following question: How can recruitment practices promote the establishment of a utilitarian approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)? We also sought to demonstrate the existence of a concrete and significant relationship between a profit-oriented vision of CSR and recruitment practices that respect human rights, equal opportunity, and non-discrimination in hiring. To achieve this objective, we conducted a questionnaire-based survey among upper- and middle-level managers in two companies: Algérienne des Eaux and LafargeHolcim Algérie. Through this study, we sought to explore managers’ perceptions of the recruitment practices implemented within their organizations and the CSR approach adopted, in order to identify causal links between these two variables. A logical positivist stance was adopted, leading to the use of a quantitative methodology. The statistical tests performed revealed a positive and significant relationship between responsible recruitment practices and a utilitarian approach to CSR.

Emotional Intelligence Life-Skills Programme In The Prevention And Management Of Bullying Behaviour In Schools.

2025-11-27T10:22:21+00:00

Bullying victimization and perpetration in South African schools is an ongoing blight and this study’s focus was on the role of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in a Life-skills programme in prevention and management of bullying behaviour. Emotional intelligence plays an integral role in life skills pedagogical content knowledge, therefore, EI Life-skills intervention programme was developed and implemented to equip bullies with emotional and social competence and empathetic skills that will enable them to constructively solve conflicts. Quantitative research method was used to collect and analyze data for the study. The total sample of (n=40) participants comprised of Grade 09 learners between the ages of 13-15 were selected. The choice of the sample was motivated by the fact that the selected learners were bullying perpetrators. The (n=40) were evenly distributed into two groups, namely, Group A (experimental) and Group B (control) 57.5% were males and 42.5% were females. The Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) (1998) was used to collect data from the participants. Pre-test and post-test trials were conducted. The effectiveness of the programme was assessed to determine whether it can be used as an intervention tool to decrease bullying behaviour from those who bully others. Participants in the experimental group scored higher in overall EI when compared to participants in the control group post-intervention. This suggests that EI as a life-skills programme can be a powerful intervention tool in preventing bullying by fostering empathy, improving communication, and enhancing social skills among learners.
