          Abstract

          Abstract: This paper seeks to develop a “Strength-based proactive approach for building resilience in school children” under political crisis to be used by counsellors within Gaza schools to advance social and emotional learning programmes that enhance students' resilience and wellbeing. A mixed-methodological approach was used to collect and analyse the data. The qualitative methods included the data collection using literature review, (12) interviews with school principals and psychologists and (12) focus groups with parents, counsellors and teachers. The quantitative method included data collection using (619) students’ self-administered questionnaires. The study population consisted of all the students of basic education grades in Gaza city. The study sample was random and consisted of (619) students. Statistical analysis was used to analyse the questionnaire and the content analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. Findings obtained in this study reflected that both qualitative and quantitative methods highlighted similar strength factors that support building resilience among school children in Gaza. They define children’s ability to adapt and succeed despite the difficult conditions surrounding them, child positive thinking, providing care, creating a supportive school environment, incorporating resilience topics in curriculum, engaging children in resiliency workshops, building strong relationships between school and family, joining peer groups and building good relationship with neighbours and relatives. In conclusion, this study comes as the first effort to develop Conceptual Strength-Based Proactive Approach model for counsellors in Gaza city and other cities experiencing similar political instability to apply effective approaches for fostering academic learning, resilience and wellbeing of school children.

          Resumen: Este artículo busca desarrollar un “enfoque proactivo basado en la fortaleza para fomentar la resiliencia de los niños en edad escolar” en situaciones de crisis política, para ser utilizado por los orientadores en las escuelas de Gaza, con el fin de promover programas de aprendizaje social y emocional que mejoren la resiliencia y el bienestar de los estudiantes. Se utilizó un enfoque metodológico mixto para recopilar y analizar los datos. Los métodos cualitativos incluyeron la recopilación de datos mediante la revisión de la literatura, 12 entrevistas con directores de escuelas y psicólogos y 12 grupos focales con padres, orientadores y maestros. El método cuantitativo incluyó la recolección de datos utilizando un cuestionario autoadministrado por los estudiantes de la muestra. La población de estudio estaba compuesta por todos los estudiantes de los grados de educación básica en la ciudad de Gaza. La muestra de estudio fue aleatoria y consistió en 619 estudiantes. El análisis estadístico se utilizó para analizar el cuestionario y el análisis de contenido para analizar los datos cualitativos. Los hallazgos obtenidos en este estudio reflejaron que tanto los métodos cualitativos como los cuantitativos resaltaron factores de fortaleza similares que apoyan la creación de resiliencia entre los escolares de Gaza. Definen la capacidad de los niños para adaptarse y tener éxito a pesar de las difíciles condiciones que los rodean, el pensamiento positivo de los niños, la provisión de cuidados, la creación de un entorno escolar de apoyo, la incorporación de temas de resiliencia en el currículo, la participación de los niños en talleres de resiliencia, la construcción de relaciones sólidas entre la escuela y la familia, grupos y buenas relaciones con vecinos y familiares. En conclusión, este estudio se presenta como el primer esfuerzo para desarrollar un modelo conceptual de enfoque proactivo basado en la fortaleza para orientadores en la ciudad de Gaza y otras ciudades que experimentan una inestabilidad política similar para aplicar enfoques efectivos para fomentar el aprendizaje académico, la resiliencia y el bienestar de los niños en edad escolar.

          The Discovery of Grounded Theory

          <p>Most writing on sociological method has been concerned with how accurate facts can be obtained and how theory can thereby be more rigorously tested. In The Discovery of Grounded Theory, Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss address the equally Important enterprise of how the discovery of theory from data--systematically obtained and analyzed in social research--can be furthered. The discovery of theory from data--grounded theory--is a major task confronting sociology, for such a theory fits empirical situations, and is understandable to sociologists and laymen alike. Most important, it provides relevant predictions, explanations, interpretations, and applications.</p><p>In Part I of the book, Generation Theory by Comparative Analysis, the authors present a strategy whereby sociologists can facilitate the discovery of grounded theory, both substantive and formal. This strategy involves the systematic choice and study of several comparison groups. In Part II, The Flexible Use of Data, the generation of theory from qualitative, especially documentary, and quantitative data Is considered. In Part III, Implications of Grounded Theory, Glaser and Strauss examine the credibility of grounded theory.</p><p>The Discovery of Grounded Theory is directed toward improving social scientists' capacity for generating theory that will be relevant to their research. While aimed primarily at sociologists, it will be useful to anyone Interested In studying social phenomena--political, educational, economic, industrial-- especially If their studies are based on qualitative data.</p></p>

            Psychosocial resilience and protective mechanisms.

            The concept of mechanisms that protect people against the psychological risks associated with adversity is discussed in relation to four main processes: reduction of risk impact, reduction of negative chain reactions, establishment and maintenance of self-esteem and self-efficacy, and opening up of opportunities. The mechanisms operating at key turning points in people's lives must be given special attention.
