Problems of adaptation of pupils in the Arab pedagogy

Our ability to adaptation to new situations can not be compared with the resources for a child to adjust. We have a wealth of experience allows us to adapt to new situations in a more smooth and controlled.

The ability of a child to integrate into a new environment depends on its be shaped But also how they develop patterns of adaptation. Leaving home and integrated into a new environment, with peers those who have never seen, with different rules to be learned and in a strange place, not easy.

Arab scholars Dr. Rifai Naim [1] and Dr. Zero Halabi Muwaffaq Hashim[2] consider adaptation as a process aiming at coping with inconsistency between the student and the new school environment. This process includes psychological, social and academic adaptation aspects. The adaptation process results in a qualitative interaction between the student and the school environment, harmony and a steady balance of their relationships. Seeking this harmony, both the student’s and the school’s integral efforts are critical. The student has to bear a new role, consistent with his own nature and the requirements of the new environment. These requirements, however, must be well-defined, clear and  reasonably worded, protecting autonomy and dignity of the maturing personality. Teachers’ behaviour directly influences the process of students’ adaptation to a new school and its result. Success of pupils adaptation depends on the degree to which he can satisfy his needs (psychological, social and didactical) in the new environment. If these needs are satisfied, the student functions causing problems for neither himself nor those around him, he sets a positive attitude towards his new school.

Analysis of Arab scientific publications [3; 4; 5;6] helped to ascertain that researches on the school transition have two well-defined trends: 1) the school transition influence on students’ academic and social functioning, emphasizing identification of difficulties, encountered by the students; 2) strategies, facilitating students’ adaptation to a new school environment, providing a favourable school environment.

Changes in school environment explain problems of pupils adaptation to a new school for the most part. If the school environment does not conform to the students’ needs, his adaptation process complicates. Researchers elucidate such significant factors for the successful students’ adaptation to a new school as students’ safety and a warm and welcoming environment, also called school microclimate or ethos. However, the students’ adaptation and success of their further functioning at a new school mostly depend on students-teachers relationship (Najaf, Ahmed Afrah, 2013[7]; Abu Ghali, Mahmoud Attaf, 2014[8]).

Newcomers successfully adapt to a new school and overcome negative effects of the school transition, when their teachers’ behaviour is distinguished by such attributes as showing interest in their students, caring for their students, appreciation of their students’ endeavour, listening to their pupils, their active involvement in learning (Shaya Mohammed Abdullah, 2013[9]), making of pupils feel supported by their teachers and able to receive individual help (Daoud Sofana Ahmed,2013 [10]). The teachers’ behaviour indicator, especially important for pupils adaptation to a new school, is to help of pupils enabling them to understand many changes in students’ learning, personal and interpersonal relationship after a school transition. Relying on pupils evaluation of help, received from their teachers, we can forecast indicators of many other variables, namely, students’ psychological condition (self-concept, depression), interpersonal relationship (interaction with teachers, peers, deviant of pupils, children-parents conflicts).

Researches on adaptation to a new school usually rely on an analysis of the subjective experiences of pupils transitioned from one school to another. However, researches on their parents’ opinion about teachers’ behaviour with newcomers and its effect on the students’ emotional state at a new school has been scanty (for instance, Smadi Ahmad Abdul Majid, 2015[11]; Nomad Mona Hassan Sayed, 2015[12]; Ziad Abdel Karim, 2014[13]).

Thus, the study of Arab scientists of pupil’s adaptation problems deserves special attention of European scientists.
