Social setting effects on gender differences in self-esteem: Kibbutz and urban adolescents
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1995Co-Authors: Emda Orr, Batia DinurAbstract:The study Investigated the effect of two multidimensional systems—namely, social setting and the self—upon adolescents' growth and development. Specifically, we hypothesized that gender differences in adult social status are greater in the Kibbutz than in the Israeli urban setting, and that this gap is associated with gender differences in global self-esteem among Kibbutz youth. The Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, and scales from Marsh's Self-Description Questionnaire III and from Harter's Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents were administered to 569 Kibbutz and urban adolescents from Grades 9 to 11. Data on academic achievement and parental status was also obtained. Kibbutz mothers were found to have significantly lower social status than fathers, while Kibbutz girls had significantly lower self-esteem than Kibbutz boys and urban adolescents of both sexes. The organization of the self-concept of Kibbutz females differed from the other groups: self-esteem was predicted not only from self-concepts in the domains of scholastic achievement and peer support, but also from the domain of parental support, from academic achievement, and from father's occupational status.

The Zweig Center for Special Education
Child & Youth Services, 2001Co-Authors: Yuval DrorAbstract:Summary The Zweig Center for Special Education, based on the heritage and history of Kibbutz special education, is a model for the school-university partnership and of the professional development school. This model integrates Kibbutz education with special education in a unique way. Kibbutz education is traditionally non-selective, emphasizing an educating society/environment; the integration of educational factors; the integration of society, studies, and work; active learning; informal methods; autonomy in the children's society; and autonomy of educational staff. These make possible schools as laboratories of community partnerships, training opportunities, and action research that show the varieties of school-university partnership and professional development schools.

the history of Kibbutz education practice into theory
2001Co-Authors: Yuval DrorAbstract:This book tells the history of some 90 years of « cooperative education. It presents the history of Kibbutz education from Degania, the first Kibbutz, throughout the 254 secular Kibbutzim in Israel at the end of the 20th century. The study examines systematically the ongoing tension and interplay of practice and theory in Kibbutz education. After discussing the theory of communal education and describing the division of work between the paternal home and the children's house, the author describes its structure from infant's house to high school. He also deals with the broader social and educational systems: multi-group children's and youth societies which combine social life, work and studies, the metamorphosis of the Kibbutz oriented youth movement into an independent multi-channeled movement and the development of Kibbutz educational systems on a local, regional and central level. A final chapter on research and historical evaluation of cooperative education sheds light on the link between practice and theory in education.

In the final part, the success of the Kibbutz is evaluated on the basis of the attitudes of Kibbutz parents, children and educators.

the anne frank haven a case of an alternative educational program in an integrative Kibbutz setting
International Review of Education, 1992Co-Authors: Miriam Benperetz, Moshe Giladi, Yuval DrorAbstract:The essential features of the programme of the Anne Frank Haven are the complete integration of children from low SES and different cultural backgrounds with Kibbutz children; a holistic approach to education; and the involvement of the whole community in an “open” residential school. After 33 years, it is argued that the experiment has proved successful in absorbing city-born youth in the Kibbutz, enabling at-risk populations to reach significant academic achievements, and ensuring their continued participation in the dominant culture. The basic integration model consists of “layers” of concentric circles, in dynamic interaction. The innermost circle is the class, the learning community. The Kibbutz community and the foster parents form a supportive, enveloping circle, which enables students to become part of the outer community and to intervene in it. A kind of meta-environment, the inter-Kibbutz partnership and the Israeli educational system, influence the program through decision making and guidance. Some of the principles of the Haven — integration, community involvement, a year's induction for all new students, and open residential settings — could be useful for cultures and societies outside the Kibbutz. The real “secret” of success of an alternative educational program is the dedicated, motivated and highly trained staff.

Kibbutz adolescence: The vicissitudes of ideology, communal upbringing, and self-experience
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1993Co-Authors: Aviva MazorAbstract:The Kibbutz, in the early 1990s, presents a collective community in transition. Changes in social ideology are reshaping certain aspects of developmental processes of individuals who were brought up in a communal community. This special issue highlights the unique interaction between cultural context and personality development processes in Kibbutz adolescents and young adults. Certain social, affective, and cognitive changes that contribute to identity formation in the Kibbutz context are explored from multidisciptinary perspectives .

practices of photography on Kibbutz the case of eliezer sklarz
Journal of Israeli History, 2015Co-Authors: Edna Barromi PerlmanAbstract:This article explores how socialist egalitarian ideology affected forms of documentation on the Kibbutz in Israel, by examining its practices of photography. The study analyzes the work of one photographer, Eliezer Sklarz, and his role and function in the community, focusing on the visual content and style of his work. The article also describes the role of the Kibbutz archive in promoting his work and in constructing Kibbutz identity through its photographic archive, as a mechanism for creating Zionist Kibbutz historiography. The study addresses the conflicted approach of Kibbutz society towards photography: promoting documentation through the function of the archive on the one hand, while maintaining a dismissive role towards photography as a highbrow, middle-class practice, on the other.

“In My Eyes, Each Photograph was a Masterpiece”. Construction of children's photos in a family album on Kibbutz in Israel
Social Semiotics, 2013Co-Authors: Edna Barromi PerlmanAbstract:This article explores the process of the creation of photographs on Kibbutz through a case study of one nuclear family living on Kibbutz in Israel. It examines the process of construction of photographs in the private family album of the nuclear family in relation to the public forms of documentation on Kibbutz. The article explores to what extent the photographs enabled the family to express their individuality in Kibbutz society, which was self-governed by a socialist, egalitarian ideology. It examines the influences of the childhood photographs of the mother, who joined the Kibbutz as an adult, on the construction of images of motherhood in her private Kibbutz photo album. It investigates the way in which the construction of private photographs in one family album contested dominant mythologies on Kibbutz at that time.

The archivist at the Kibbutz in question reevaluates her Kibbutz’s history while incorporating values of egalitarianism and feminism into the archive.
