Author(s): Elena Getova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2018

This essay outlines the possibilities for chartering parallels between two collections of prose – “Under the Monastery Vine” by Elin Pelin and “The Well of Saint Clare” by Anatole France. The analogies and juxtapositions presented here stem from the categorical insistence on behalf of some scholars who see the two texts in terms of the following relation: follower (that of Elin Pelin) and prototype, model (that of Anatole France). The in-depth analysis of this relation reveals certain transformations of the model that are indicative of specific narrative decisions on the part of the Bulgarian author.

Author(s): Dobrina Velinova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2018

The article discusses the effect of the use of personal-oriented learning (POL) in mathematics education on pupils achievements. Compared to the success of the pupils at the outcome of the Lower Gymnasium Degree (LGD) – 7th grade and National External Evaluation (NEE). The results obtained from NEE are slightly lower compared to the grades when completing the training, but the differences are not statistically proven. The differences in the success of girls with boys and between pupils from Bulgarian and Turkish ethnicities are small and unproven. Between the success of the pupils at the end of the 7th grade and the success of NEE has a high correlation dependence – (r = 0,825***). The strongest influence on the success has the activity of pupil participation in the learning process (92.526% at completion and 89.193% of NEE). On NEE, the number of pupils with high success decreased by 23.40%, while the number of low-grade pupils increased by 52.38%. The results obtained from the conducted NEE in mathematics show a stronger activation of the pupils with lower success and the receipt of higher grades compared to those with higher success.

Author(s): Georgi Jordanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2018

Creativity and personality creative potential is provoked mostly by the means of fine art when at school, or at home during one’s spare time. To what extent - does art education meet these new requirements at present? The school and in particular the teacher continue to teach by following the old norms and rules. Students, on the other hand, listen to things that are boring for them or incomprehensible. A gulf and misunderstanding develops between the two most important levels in the education process - teacher-student. Art is one of the basic means in the formation of values; but when it is not taught felicitously and comprehensively to students, it loses its formative power.This calls for experimenting different new forms of education in order to establish their effectiveness according to the expected results. In response, the fine arts curriculum should be in conformity with the needs of the time and the dynamics of the surrounding reality development. It should be an open, flexible and dynamic system of learning and education through art.A kind of new non-traditional art education is considered. A total change of teachers’ views should ensue so as to form a new way of thinking, acceptable for the new environment. As the children change, the environment around them changes, the only thing that remains the same is the teacher of fine art classes. It’s not enough to be a good artist or a good pedagogue; you have to be a modern person as well.
