The Spirit of Defiance in Mentorship Amongst Black Men and Boys

Author(s): Kelly N. Ferguson / Language(s): English Issue: 14/2018

Black male students are disproportionately disciplined in schools, primarily for subjective acts of defiance. This scholarship explores how defiance is an integral force in the lives of Black males from boyhood to manhood and how schools can contribute to the development of this unique expression of resilience. Defiance is a personal and collective set of resistance strategies to counter the economic, racial and social constraints unique to Black life in American society and schools. When defiance is channeled constructively, Black males use it to foster productive academic, social and professional lives, and to counter negative stereotypes. Understanding the spirit of defiance will aid teachers, schools and communities in minimizing cultural misunderstandings that lead to punitive and exclusionary disciplinary referrals.

The study was designed as a survey study, and 249 teachers from various fields participated in the study. “The Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale” which was developed by Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk-Hoy (2001), and adapted by Çapa, Çakıroğlu and Sarıkaya (2005) was used to collect the data. The data were analyzed using an arithmetic mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, and one way ANOVA. The kurtosis and skewness values were found to be between -1 and +1, and the data were assumed as having normal distribution. According to the results of the study, the level of teachers’ perceptions of self-efficacy was determined as “high”. In addition, it was revealed that the teachers’ self-efficacy perceptions did not show a significant difference based on the gender variable, but a significant difference was found in the variables of field of education, the region in which they work, and work experience. In this respect, the self-efficacy perception levels of teachers who work in the city center were found to be higher compared to the teachers who work in rural regions. The teachers in the field of basic education (preschool and classroom teachers) had higher self-efficacy perceptions compared to teachers from other fields.

Wspólnota dzieci i młodzieży Ruchu Focolari miejscem kształtowania umiejętności pokonywania trudności

Author(s): Mariola Teresa Kozubek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2018

The psychological condition of young generations is getting poorer and poorer, which can be observed especially in difficult and conflict situations that require independent actions. This is a considerable challenge faced by teachers and educators. Looking at a range of programs involving measures aimed at preventing developmental disorders in children and young people, in particular concerning the social and emotional sphere of their functioning, it is worthwhile paying attention to those dealing with formative activities undertaken as part of Christian children and youth communities founded at the turn of the 20th and 21st century. One of them is the Focolare Movement, established during the second world war by a young teacher Chiara Lubich (1920-2008). Experiencing the educational community of the Movement is a source of valuable material for analyses. This experience, along with selected texts and speeches of Lubich addressed at children and young people and analyzed from a hermeneutic perspective, constitute the basic source of the present analyses. What follows from them is that formative actions within the Movement are conducted based on a coherent program that supports an integral development of a person as well as the idea of living for others through the participation in the community. The assumptions accepted by the Movement pertaining to transcendence of the human being, interpersonal relations, and the attitude to the world allow for demonstrating to young people that any life obstacle may have a positive side to it. Although the source of these assumptions are religious charisma and experience, such formation performed by the communities is not restricted to the faith-related issues only (i.e. religious education) but includes all areas of life of young people. Seen from this angle, communities seem to be a place for shaping the abilities to overcome life difficulties. The educational ideas of Lubich are applied in diverse cultures around the world. Also, they have been recognized by significant scientific and religious circles, which can be demonstrated by the following distinctions: the Templeton Prize, the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education, the Human Rights Prize awarded by the Council of Europe, as well as 16 honorary doctorate degrees, including an honorary doctorate in education studies awarded by the American University in Washington (2000). The author’s considerations may serve as a basis for further analyses, especially given that the educational experience and pedagogical ideas of Lubich are relatively unknown in Poland.

Author(s): Elżbieta Marek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

The presented text covers the changes Poland underwent in teachers’ training in the second half of the 20th century.

The dominant feature of teacher training in the years 1945–1989 was continual transformation encompassing all forms of education: from the lowest form of training to master studies. In this article there will be formulated some conceptions of teacher training characteristic of the four distinct stages singled out, with special attention paid to organizational and curricular changes and their political motivation.

Nauczyciel w diagnozie aktywności fizycznej ucznia

Author(s): Marek Jagusz,Katarzyna Sojka-Krawiec / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

Data regarding the report on physical education and sport conducted by the SCC in the years 2010 and 2013, and the information from the discussion on the Core Curriculum suggests that teachers often do not have the competence to apply the knowledge of health education in teaching physical education (PE). This paper shows that this competence system influences the teacher’s qualifications as an expert in ergonomic management of the competence building process in physical education of students. In this way, it is possible to identify the locus of health diagnosis in the general diagnosis of student’s physical activity. This paper considers the impact of environmental stressors.

Family Education in Russia: Current State and Trends

Author(s): Sergei Ivanovich CHERNYKH,Vladimir Parshikov / Language(s): English Issue: 12/2018

In the Law "On Education in the Russian Federation," adopted in 2012,family status was proclaimed as an alternative. Actualization of this status in practice required philosophical, economic, sociological and psychological analysis. A sufficient number of theoretical papers have emerged, on the basis of which it is possible to form a generalized idea of whatfamily education is, what its position is, and whether it can be considered as an alternative to general school education. Of interest to the authors, these issues were analyzed in the context of comparative approach and resultedin two determinative conclusions of the prospectof family education. The first is that today family education cannot be fully considered as an alternative to the general one, since it has a weak methodological base, and its state is determined by the subjective approach to organization. The second is that for development of family education it is necessary to solve two big problems: a) to build a system of pedagogical parenteducation; b) to create an appropriate ecosphere in order to support family education/training.

Peer culture and adult-child relations

Author(s): William A. Corsaro / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

The article at hand addresses adult-child relations, comparing them in two settings – Italy and the United States. More specifically, I will be investigating family and community relations with the children and school institutions. A longitudinal ethnography in Italy, conducted with a colleague, permitted us to focus on the children’s transitions from preschool to elementary school and even into middle school. When comparing the Italian outcomes (where children normally stay in the same group with the same teacher) with my earlier work in American preschools (where children normally change groups and teachers), I became more aware of the vital role which teachers, parents, community leaders, and volunteers play in supporting the peer cultures of young children. Therefore, this article will share insights gathered by comparing my observations and experiences in Italy and the USA, looking first at teachers, then considering family members, and ultimately the general community. Among other things, special notice will be taken of time schedules, emotions and bonding, free play, field trips, civic engagement, etc. This discussion will close with some reflections on my own relationship with the children and my own contributions to their peer cultures in my role as a researcher, as an adult, and as a friend in their lives.

Szkoła jako miejsce wsparcia w trudnych sytuacjach

Author(s): Maria Kocór / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2018

The matter is included in the object of interest of pedagogy of school. Invoking subject literature, as well as results of own empirical research on stress of students and teachers, the author concludes that often these subjects require assistance and understanding. Stress situations are caused by 'experience' of institutional and social every-day life of school. In the undertaken considerations the author seeks answer to the question: to what extent is a school a place to support its subjects? Are they willing to support themselves in difficult situations? While briefly analyzing the results of the study conducted amongst pupils and educators, a concern regarding the school's climate and harmony between institutional and socio-cultural dimension of school rises. 'How else could we think differently about school and build a good climate in it?' is a question that determines creative ideas and further reforms school.
