Polityczne uwarunkowania powrotu Polski nad Bałtyk w latach 1918–1920 w podręcznikach do nauczania historii

Author(s): Marek Białokur / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2021

The year 2020 saw the centenary of the return of Pomerania to Poland, which regained access to the Baltic Sea. This event, along with many other issues connected with the establishment of the Polish state after the First World War, has been the subject of historians’ research for years. This also applies to history educators who analyse the contents of school textbooks. The author of this article, which is consistent with this research trend, decided to analyse dozens of the most popular textbooks for teaching history in secondary schools used by Polish pupils over the past 30 years, i.e. in the period from 1990 to 2020. The article primarily uses the philological and comparative methods. The undertaken analysis helped to distinguish from the school textbooks three main threads concerning Poland’s return to the Baltic Sea, namely the speech by the President of the United States Thomas Woodrow Wilson of 8 January 1918, the resolutions of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and Poland’s Wedding to the Sea of February 1920. As a result, it has been shown that these issues have an adequate place in textbooks, as far as it was required by curricula for teaching history in the 1990s, as well as the later reformed curricula created during the first two decades of the present century. This results from the fact that practically all analysed textbooks provide basic facts concerning the circumstances of the retaking of part of Pomerania by the Republic of Poland after the end of the First World War, which are presented with a short commentary and sometimes with additional content for learning, and with particular consideration of international conditions of this process. What should be noted in the analysed textbooks is that they are free of ideological influences, which had been visible in Polish history textbooks before 1990.

Преподаването на манифеста

Author(s): Irena Dimova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2021

In this article, we look at the genre of the manifesto and its possible uses in high school. First, we point out some basic characteristics of this type of text and link them to the idea of a “form of rebellion”. Second, we make a connection between teaching literature in school with teaching the literary events and facts as part of the so-called literary narrative, i.e., putting the phenomena into the larger framework of what is happening in the cultural context of the observed period. We propose a possible way of teaching the manifesto, based on an example of the aesthetico-theoretical work of Geo Milev, having in mind that the author has texts with the characteristics of a manifesto, not complete manifestos.

Utopia of School, Disobedience, and Translation. Two Biblical Myths in the Interpretation of Erich Fromm and George Steiner

Author(s): Rafał Włodarczyk / Language(s): English Issue: 55 (2)/2020

It can be assumed that two biblical myths – about Adam and Eve leaving the Garden of Eden and about the builders from Babel – are interesting expressions of the utopian imagination, because these myths narrate about two places where projects of sufficiently perfect social order were implemented in two different ways. At present, the school is one of the places that could be understood as the ambiguous effect of an implemented utopia of the industrial revolution era; the school is an education space designed as an important part of the project of a sufficiently perfect social order. Two original readings of the mentioned biblical myths – by Erich Fromm and George Steiner – shall contribute some new themes and outlooks to the discussion of the condition of the modern school and the discourses of critical pedagogy or the pedagogy of resistance and hermeneutic pedagogy.

CONTEXTUAL APPROACH AS A PRACTICE-ORIENTED TRAINING OF FUTURE TEACHERS IN ORGANIZATION OF LABOUR EDUCATION AMONG PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Author(s): Viktoriia Balakireva / Language(s): English Issue: 14/2020

The article substantiates the context approach of preparing future teachers for labor education of junior pupils. The relevance of the mentioned problem in the conditions of modern Ukraine is proved. It has been found that pedagogical science has accumulated considerable experience in determining the essence and ways of implementing the context approach. The context approach is seen as a professionally oriented learning, in which knowledge, skills, and skills are acquired in the context of future professional activities. The main function of the context-based approach to learning is to create conditions for the transformation of educational and cognitive activity into a professional, thus modeling the educational environment, as close as possible to the form and content to the professional. The methodology of the context approach consists of three basic forms of activity: educational activity with a leading role of lectures and practical classes; quasi-professional, which is embodied in games, special courses; educational-professional (research work of students, technological practice, diploma and course designing). The implementation of the context approach in the process of preparing future teachers for elementary school to organize the work of pupils, promotes the development of professional skills of future professionals, helps to more objectively and accurately determine their professional suitability. The use of this approach sets not only the vector of personality development, but also creates conditions for it to plan a common, unified and compulsory development line, and assists each student, taking into account his available knowledge of knowledge, to improve and realize their individual abilities and successfully pass the formation process personality The context-based approach to the training of future primary school teachers in the context of reforming higher education ensures that the conditions for future vocational and pedagogical activities are brought closer.

ΕTHICAL AND UNETHICAL ELЕMЕNTS ІN THE PEDAGOGICAL PRAXІS

Author(s): Felicia MAHU / Language(s): English Issue: 14/2020

As most of the novelties in the last century, the ethics of pedagogical praxis is an American invention. Exciting or detestable, in the business sector, ethics had a meteoric rise in North-America, then spreading all over the world, especially to independent countries which have their own economy. Educational ethics is a branch of ethics which studies the quality of the relationships between natural and legal persons involved in common actions, based on the positive values which govern the concept of education. With the absolute certainty that we are in need of more information, we would like to point out that ethics in the pedagogical praxis is restricted to the standard of the criteria for moral behavior which give clear guidelines to teachers in their professional activity.
