Author(s): Otmar Seul / Language(s): French Issue: 2(1)/2014

During the 27 years of their existence, the Franco-German courses in Legal Sciences of Paris Ouest-Nanterre-La Defense (formerly Paris X-Nanterre) created in 1986, quickly evolved into cross-border activities and during the 1990s became the center of a veritable international network of academic cooperation. Its most innovative idea was the creation in 2004, of the Franco-German summer university with participation open to third countries both within and outside of Europe.

Charles Taylor o dva pristupa jeziku

Author(s): Oliver Jurišić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 2/2016

Keeping in mind the complexity of Charles Taylor`s thought, we consider briefly the twofold understanding of language, the representational-procedural approach and the constitutive-expressive approach, beginning with the moral ontology of self or agent. In the introduction, we briefly recapitulate some of the main ideas of Taylor`s philosophy. After this, we introduce the manner in which, for Taylor, language predicates an understanding of reality, from which he refers to the twofold understanding of language.

Education and Culture as Tasks of UNESCO: Current Challenges and Perspectives

Author(s): Christoph Wulf / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

As part of UNESCO, education is seen as a part of culture; at the same time, the educational and socializing effects of culture are brought to the fore. Unlike with other international organizations, UNESCO prioritizes the foundational effects of culture and the cultural character of education. Through this engagement, UNESCO’s conceptions of economics and culture differ from other organizations. Three basic publications are illustrative of this: the Faure report “Learning to Be” (1972), the Delors Report “Learning: the Treasure Within” (1996) and “Rethinking Education, Towards a Global Common Good? “(2015). The attempt to develop a human rights oriented framework is common to these studies.

OBRAZOVANJE I KULTURA KAO ZADAĆA UNESCO-A: IZAZOVI I PERSPEKTIVE

Author(s): Christoph Wulf / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 1/2017

Prema UNESCO-u obrazovanje je dio kulture; gdje se, u isto vrijeme izražavaju i dolaze do izražaja obrazovni i socijalizacijski efekti kulture. Za razliku od drugih međunarodnih organizacija, UNESCO prioritizira fundamentalne efekte kulture i kulturni karakter obrazovanja. Kroz ovaj angažman, UNESCO-va koncepcija ekonomije i kulture ovu organizaciju razlikuje od drugih organizacija. Prisutne su tri su osnovne publikacije koje to ilustriraju: Faurev izvještaj “Učiti biti” (1972), Delorsov izvještaj “Učenje: blago iznutra” (1996) i “Promišljanje obrazovanja, prema globalno općem dobru? “(2015). Ono što je zajedničko za ove studije jeste pokušaj da se razvije okvir, koji će biti orijentiran ljudskim pravima.

Istota wprowadzenia Karty Laickości Szkoły Francuskiej

Author(s): Roman Szewczyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

The French Revolution sought to discover the way to view freedom. At the end of the Revolution, they proclaimed the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. In French society, these fruits of the Revolution were considered something sacred. Paradoxically, in a country that did so much to cleanse public life of religious factors, the same state has begun to create a religion of the state. All of the process after the Revolution, in particular, the Law of 1905 regarding the separation between the state and the church, has fortified the idea of secularism in French society. This process of the state was introduced in the schools because they wished to construct a society which was entirely secular which believed in the values of the Republic. They therefore made divisions between the public schools and the private ones. The public schools had a secular and a national character. The substantial difference between the schools was that in the public schools, the teaching of religion as a separate subject was expelled and the religious issues in the teaching curriculum was reduced to the minimum. It appeared only as a background in the historical issues. Commenting on the Charter of Secularism, I seek to respond to the question – what happened which caused them to introduce this Charter of Secularism in the schools? We find the first response in the actions of the young people who want to be respected along with having their religious systems respected. Such problems arose when the French introduced the prohibition of religious symbols. However, the prohibitions did not resolve the problem. They therefore invented and introduced the Charter of Secularism of the French School. This is a kind of new way of presenting the idea of secularism to the students. The Charter was implemented as a way of reinforcing the prohibitions which had been previously introduced. It repeats the ideas which have been presented in the schools since the end of the French Revolution. Looking at the Charter, we have the impression that it is simply a repetition of the same phrases – that it is pure theory that has nothing in common with the reality. However, the French Ministry of Education always creates new initiatives which promote the presence of secularism in the schools. Unfortunately however, they do not look at the problems of the young people. They don’t want to understand their identities and especially, their religious identities.

Author(s): Marek Kluz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

In the era of contemporary moral crisis, diverse problems and menaces of today’s world, proper education and in particular the right education of understanding and feeling truth and freedom plays an essential role. Education of a young person for these values is fulfilled best in a family because a family influences young person’s life to great extent.If education did not introduce these values, it would be harmful not only for the young person but also for the whole community. A strong position of family as the source of truth and responsible freedom should influence and inspire all institutions and people engaged in educational process, which should always be integral: It should comprise a person fully and all his or her fields of life where his or her vocation should be fulfilled.

РАЗВИТИЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ, ЗДРАВООХРАНЕНИЯ И СОЦИАЛЬНАЯ ПОМОЩЬ НАСЕЛЕНИЮ В ВОЛОСТЯХ АВТОНОМНОЙ ОБЛАСТИ КОМИ В 1920-х ГОДАХ

Author(s): Vladislav Nikolaevich Karakchiev / Language(s): Russian Issue: 5 (166)/2017

The aim of the article is to study the status and development of public education, health care and social support in the Komi Autonomous region. The author notes that the topic related to the functioning of the grass-roots government is poorly studied. The current analysis of the activities undertaken by the local authorities of the 1920s is essential. Knowledge of the historical experience can help to improve the quality of the government functioning at present. In the early 1920s, the social sphere in the region was in a difficult situation, but thanks to the work of the government, including executive committees and township leadership, a number of measures was taken to improve such areas as public education, health care and social support for the people in need. As a result, a gradual increase in the number of educational institutions and students, health care workers in the districts, and organization of social assistance was registered. The payment of pensions and benefits for the elderly, people with disabilities, war veterans, and military families was resumed. The studied data of the archives: surveys and reports of the government were used as sources for the article. The author comes to a conclusion that the districts’ executive committees have made a significant contribution into the development of the region.

Sınıf Öğretmenlerinin Organ Bağışı Tutumlarının Farklı Değişkenler Açısından İncelenmesi

Author(s): Alptürk Akçöltekin / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 24/2014

The purpose of this study is to investigate attitudes of class teachers towards organ donation. Survey model was used in this descriptive study. To this end, organ donation attitude scale in conjunction with a set of demographic questions was applied to a total of 93 class teachers employed in Ardahan. Results obtained from the study revealed that class teachers take a positive attitude about organ donation. When attitudes of teachers towards organ donation are considered with regards to demographic variances, no statistically important difference was found between the variances of sex and homeland of teachers and their attitudes towards organ donation, in contrast to a statistically meaningful difference between the variances of age, service time and source of knowledge acquisition and attitudes towards organ donation. The statistical difference found between age of teachers and their attitudes about organ donation bounds up with teachers under 25 years of age and those having ages of between 26 and 35 years, in spite of the difference determined for variances of service time and organ donation for teachers having period of service under 1 year or between 6 and 10 years. The statistical difference between source of knowledge acquisition and organ donation is, on the other hand, caused by teachers who keep up with press and visual media. According to results obtained, data regarding ages and service times of teachers are in good agreement and the positive attitudes of teachers about organ donation is associated with visual media and press as mass communication.

ICT-MEDIATED EDUCATION AND THE PROSPECTS OF THE KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY IN THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA, WITH A FOCUS ON BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Author(s): Svetlana Mitić / Language(s): English Issue: 63/2017

This paper looks into the prospects for the transition of some post-Yugoslav societies, with the main focus on Bosnia and Herzegovina, to the Knowledge Society, in light of the political and socio-economic changes in the region in the last twenty-five years. It considers the possibility of their implementing social and cultural paradigms taken to characterize the Knowledge Society as grounded in the use of information and communication technology and hybridizing their cultures. Also considered are the perceived benefits and drawbacks of ICT-mediated education, taking into consideration technology itself, as well as politics, the economy, and the dichotomy of what is implementable formally and informally. Some of the arguments used to support the conclusions of the paper refer to Ivan Illich’s unorthodox social philosophy, which proposed radical deinstitutionalization of society, including schools. Illich’s ideas are revisited in light of the failing economies and degrading societies of the post-Yugoslav nation-states, as well as of the potential of massive open online courses, or MOOCs, as an instrument of alternative or informal education. While education technology, with its distance and online learning and MOOCs in particular, might make education more egalitarian and widely accessible, its use must be considered bearing in mind its actual benefits for different social groups and individuals, as well as the implications and sine qua non for whole societies transitioning, or aspiring to transition, to the Knowledge Society, and not simply the Knowledge Economy.

Author(s): Ks. Marek Kluz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2014

Work and education plays an important role in shaping the life of very person. Thanks to it a man perfects himself, gains the means to life,and learns how to sacrifice for others. Work makes people realize their value. It unfolds in all dimensions of human life: somatic, emotional,mental, spiritual and moral. For this reason, it is impossible to separate from it the operation and process of education. Education is an essential aid in the discovery of man's possibilities. Responsibility and work for functioning education is always carried out in a social context,and produces some specific environments of formation in the community. Natural educational environment is that of family, school, work-place and other institutions. The impact of the participation, interactions and role models is characteristic for all these groups. The human existence and society depends on the proper work in the field of education.

Von Information zu Kreation. Darstellung der ermländi-schen Walfahrtsorte im „Ermländischen Hauskalender"

Author(s): Barbara Sapała / Language(s): German Issue: 3/2014

Calendars had been long regarded as an element of popular culture targeted at the lower social classes. Their unique contribution to literary and cultural studies has been recognized only recently. The Warmia Calendar was published continuously between 1856 and 1938 by members of Braniewo's Catholic community. The calendar served educational (promoting knowledge about Warmia) as well as political and religious goals (promoting Warmian identity rooted in Catholicism and patriotism). The calendar's functions and the publishing strategies adopted by different authors changed with the region's political situation. This article discusses those changes based on an analysis of calendar texts dedicated to Warmian sanctuaries in chronological order.

Braniewo w okresie powstania Zgromadzenia Sióstr św. Katarzyny Aleksandryjskiej

Author(s): Andrzej Kopiczko / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2014

In 2013, in Warmia there were organised celebrations devoted to the 400-year anniversary of the death of Blessed Regina Protmann, the foundress of the Congregation of the Devout Virgins of St. Catherine,Virgin and Martyr, commonly called „katarzynki”. On this occasion,a number of initiatives have been taken to remember the person but also the environment in which she lived and worked. Particular attention was paid to Braniewo, where she was born and where up till now there has stood a provincial house of the congregation. The article is therefore an attempt to present the situation in the city in the latter half of the 16th century. First of all, we focus on a dynamic development of education -a high school and a seminary were founded in 1565, and in 1578 there was established a papal seminary. Also, a boarding school for young people and a dormitory for poor students were built. All these institutions were administered by the Jesuits. Thanks to their pastoral work and the commitment of the bishops of Warmia, particularly Stanislaus Hosius and Marcin Kromer, they managed to avoid bringing Lutheranism despite the fact that the new religion had supporters among the members of the city council. The city developed as crafts and trade, which was facilitated by membership in the Hanseatic League. On the basis of vital records, it was found that on an average 215 children were baptized annually. Among the most popular names given for girls were Anna, then Gertruda and Barbara. Among the boys in the first place should be mentioned George, then John, Peter and Andrew. In 1586 the quintuplets were born. Registered marriages were much less - an average of 56 per year. The article also presents the appearance of the city, gives a list of parish priests and mayors of that period, the equipment temples and operations of hospitals. Based on the analyzes it can be concluded that Braniewo was a well-organized city with a well functioning education at all levels of education. But pride to Braniewo was also brought by the foundress of the Congregation of the Devout Virgins of St. Catherine, Virgin and Martyr, Regina Protmann, whose sister from the beginning served in many dimensions of the social life: they took care of the sick,looked after the education of girls and were responsible for the decoration of churches. Participating in the 19th century in foreign missions they promoted the city of their foundress in many countries on different continents, especially in South America and Africa.

İstanbullu Türkolog Hikmet Cevdetzâde’nin Aile Arşivine Göre Gürcistan ve Rusya’daki Yaşamı ve Türkçe Öğretim Faaliyetleri

Author(s): İlyas Üstünyer,Gülnara Diasemidze / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 48/2015

Batumi, under the rule of Ottoman Empire, passed in to Tsarist Russia’s administration as a result of 1877-78 war between the Ottoman Empire and Tsarist Russia. Requirements of Turkish-speaking population in Batumi to a formal Turkish language learning opportunity was one of the issues discussed in formal negotiations between the two countries following the war. However, they could not agree on a tangible result in this regard. 40 years later, the local government of Batumi requested Turkish teachers from the Ottoman Empire. This was gladly approved by the Ottoman Empire and Hikmet Jevdetzade (1893-1945) was sent to Batumi from Istanbul in 1918. In 1924, Jevdetzade opened Batumi Secondary Turkish School in Batumi and began teaching Turkish language. At the end of 1920’s Jevdetzade moved to St. Petersburg due to family reasons and continued working on the Turkish education there. Jevdetzade’s life and Turkish teaching activities in Batumi first, then in St. Petersburg were not included sufficiently in Russian, Georgian and even in Turkish sources. Lack of knowledge in this field has made Jevdetzade’s place speculative in Turcology field. In this study, the information and documents about Jevdetzade’s life and Turkish teaching activities were obtained from his relatives, son Temuri and grandchild Nino, who are still living in Batumi. In the light of acquired information, alternative “readings” on Jevdetzade’s place in the Georgian and Russian Turcologies are suggested in this article.

Obszary Społecznie Odpowiedzialnego Biznesu. Uwarunkowania zachowań polskich konsumentów

Author(s): Zofia Zgoda / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2015

In her article, the author presented the standards of corporate social responsibility (CSR) determining consumer behaviours and indicated the importance of education for shaping the principles of social responsibility. Polish entrepreneurs more and more often take into account the programme of social responsibility in their activities. The key element of those programmes is consumer. Poland’s membership in the European Union’s structures reinforces the role of both public institutions and the government in promoting socially responsible projects. At the same time, it is conducive to working out management programmes with the highest standards of business ethics. The article is an attempt to answer the question whether those programmes do not come to merely façade declarations and whether the consumer is a subject in them. The article is of the conceptual nature.
