CZY DORASTANIE MUSI BYĆ TRUDNE?

Author(s): Lucyna Bakiera / Language(s): Polish

Niewątpliwymi atutami książki są z jednej strony rzetelna informacja o zmianach zachodzących w życiu młodych ludzi – podana w sposób logiczny i uporządkowany, z drugiej zaś – spojrzenie poradnikowe: jak dorośli mogą na te zmiany reagować i które reakcje pomagają, a które przeszkadzają w rozwoju i układaniu wzajemnych relacji. Autorka pokazuje trudności, ale przedstawia je jako normalne i rozwojowe, wyjaśnia, obala mity. Pisze w sposób wyważony, nie posługuje się stereotypami, nie straszy, lecz uspokaja, buduje zrozumienie, co nadaje całości konstruktywny, pozytywny wydźwięk. Praca łączy w sobie wysokie walory merytoryczne dobrej książki naukowej z przystępnością formy i lekkością pióra książki popularnej. Co więcej, zawiera jasne i cenne wskazówki dotyczące postępowania. To połączenie wiedzy, mądrości i dobrego stylu czyni z niej pozycję ze wszech miar wartą polecenia. /// Z recenzji prof. dr. hab. Piotra K. Olesia

Modern Quranic Hermeneutics: Abdulkarim Soroush on the Expansion of Prophetic Experience

Author(s): Abdullah Rexhepi,İsa Memishi / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

. Since early times, Muslims have speculated on the nature of Revelation and the Divine Speech. This has resulted in Muslim scholars developing divergent approaches to this problem. With the constitution of the orthodoxy, the former school became dominant and it postulated that the Quran is the Word of God dictated to Prophet Muhammad through the angel Jabrail. However, during the last decades in Iran emerged scholars, such as Abdulkarim Soroush, who proposed new approaches to understanding and interpreting Revelation. This paper discusses the hermeneutical project put forward by Soroush by discussing his article on the “Expansion of Prophetic Experience”. In this article, the author argues that his modern hermeneutics is radically different from orthodox theology and problematizes that the idea that the Quran as a human creation brings about other implications outside theology, such as for instance opening the Muslim thought and liberating it from scriptural readings.

Studying creativity in students' learning styles in different high schools Iran

Author(s): Kalantari Masume,Tahan Mohammad / Language(s): English Issue: 10/2018

Learning, creativity, and innovation are considered as the axis of the activities of all educational and entrepreneur-based institutions. Learning style of students as one of the factors effective in learning and academic progress has always been taken into consideration. By identifying the learning style and rate of creativity of individuals, each style can be a more appropriate teaching method adopted by teachers and also a more correct method of learning by learners. Accordingly, the main goal of the present article is to identify the differences of learning styles of individuals in different academic majors and the rate of the creativity of individuals in each learning style. The present methodology employed in this research is of descriptive-correlational research design. The statistical population consists of all the last-year students at the high school level in the city of Ghaen. The statistical sample consisted of 115 girls and 117 boys selected by classified sampling. Kolb’s learning style inventory and Abedi creativity were used to collect the required data. These two tools are standardized, therefore their validity is verified. On the other hand, the reliability of the Kolb’s inventory and that of Abedi’s creativity were 0.74 and 79.5, respectively. To analyze the data obtained by Chi-square tests, one-way analysis of variance, Pierson covariance, and stepwise regression were employed. The results show that there is a meaningful difference between the creativity of the students with diverging and assimilator learning styles. Learning styles of students of different branches are also different. Creativity of the students of Mathematicsis more than that of the Humanities and there is also a meaningful negative relation between concrete experiential learning methods and creativity (r=0.702 and p<0.01).

SURVIVAL AND PARALLELISM

Author(s): Florent Rrahmani / Language(s): English Issue: 11/2019

The constitutional changes of 1989 in Kosovo, in addition to physical, political andpsychological pressure, exerted social pressure through job dismissals. Job dismissalsbecame a “normal” process, becoming a common way of exercising social pressure.In all these impossibilities in front of which a whole society is placed, self-organization oropposition through self-acting is expressed.In this course, the collapsed life on every sphere, and precisely this collapse burdened evenmore the daily life of these citizens, imposing reflection on these inabilities.While therepressive state was exclusive, degrading, and denigrating for a category of the society,precisely this category got self-integrated through resistance, which can not be calledotherwise but self-organization.In this flow, many subsequent developments came to the fore,such as the comprehensive mobilization of the society, so that individual tasks became selfvoluntarycollective duties and obligations.To this society, faced with such a situation, Solidarity was undoubtedly imposed in every areaof life, having the course from similarities, and “solidarity that comes from similarities is atits maximum when the collective conscience completely wraps up all our conscience andcomplies with it on all points” (Durkheim, 2004).

Social and psychological benefits of self-dislosure

Author(s): Narcisa Loredana Posteuca-Esi / Language(s): English Issue: 12/2019

The analysis of the concept of “self-disclosure” and implicitly, of the benefits it has upon the psychological and social dimension, reveals from an epistemic viewpoint the need for a theoretical and practical foundation well outlined from a scientific viewpoint. Thus, a comparative study at the theoretical level, but also at the level of inter-subjective practice transposes the results obtained over time in the area of psychological and social consequences and effects. Moreover, such epistemic results acquire epistemic validity in the inter-subjective field and space insofar as we can see, from our point of view, a series of (affective, cognitive) benefits related to the interpersonalrelationships or to the therapeutic relationship between the patient and the physician (analyst).

THE NEED FOR LEADER CREATION AMONGST ROMANIAN SCHOOL PRINCIPALS – EDUCATIONAL POLICY ANALYSIS

Author(s): Adina-Petronela Vechiu / Language(s): English Issue: 13/2020

Many theories of leadership and organisational climate gave been formulated over the years. This paper focuses both on transformational and transactional management and on supportive organisational climates. The theory of transformational educational management was developed as a response to the need for reform in educational systems in the 1970s and 1980s. The central convincing argument for educational staff was the assumption that a transformational leader motivates both teachers and students through increasing their consciousness regarding operational objectives and inspiring them to forego personal interest in favour of the organisational ‘greater good’ (Marks and Printy , 2003, p. 375). This strand of theory attributes certain leadership factors to the transformational leader like idealising influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualising consideration amongst others.The transformational leader came about as a response to the need for schools to be led successfully through innovative reforms. This type of leader underlines and accentuates ideas of change, innovation and the influence teachers have in these processes. On the other hand, transactional leadership is based on promoting a negotiation model which helps reaching a certain motivation level. This level is usually expressed through an accepted amount. Conversely, transformational leadership refers to certain assumed responsibilities and moral principles. Both leadership models aim to improve school environments, ultimately targeting progress through building leadership capacities amongst all those involved in facilitating school activities (apud Nedelcu, 2013).

Ethical Dilemmas in Education

Author(s): Andreea Filip,Sinziana Elena Mititelu / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2015

Ethics, one of the main branches of philosophy, deals with researching moral issues, dealing, for example, with the issue of good and evil, situational behavior and even with what we are supposed to do in certain instances, because, as Aristotle claimed, ethics can be seen as the sum of traditions and human behaviors and how it regards the way in which we act and react according to the principles rooted deep down into ourselves. Also, ethics must be correlated with the usefulness and the morality of an action, as well as with the issue of good and evil. Starting from these, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the directions ethics take in the educational system, in the context in which the issue of ethics is raised more and more often in some schools. That being said, we will also recount a few case studies starting from personal and professional experience.

The relationship between the child and the parent is very important and must be based on trust, cooperation and respect and the parent is responsible for how he / she manages certain conflicts that may arise, how to solve certain situations and the penalties he / she will choose to sanction the mistakes of the child. Also, the child must see the parent as the best friend, confess with anything and seek advice in any problem and in turn, the parent must give unconditional support to the child.At the same time, emphasis will be placed on certain ways of disciplining children, on the causes that can lead to conflicts between parents and children, as well as on the monitoring, punishments or rewards used by parents in the process of educating children.

Mediating Grannies: Caring for Young Grandchildren who Use Digital Media

Author(s): Galit Nimrod,Dafna LEMISH,Nelly Elias / Language(s): English Issue: 26 (2)/2020

Based on online surveys conducted in the United States and Israel, this study explored grandmothers’ involvement in mediation of their grandchildren’s digital media use. Study participants were highly involved in restrictive, instructive and supervising mediation—and to a much lesser degree in co-use and technological mediation. Their involvement was significantly associated with their familiarity with digital media popular among children, engagement in other activities with their grandchildren, and past mediation (as mothers). Results highlighted the technical challenges older women face in their efforts to mediate their grandchildren’s digital media use.

La gérontologie narrative numérique : porte ouverte sur les apprentissages informels intergénérationnels et les communications numériques

Author(s): Béatrice Crettenand Pecorini,Emmanuel Duplàa / Language(s): French Issue: 26 (2)/2020

Ontario’s action plan for seniors recognizes that seniors have health and education needs, among other needs (Gouvernement de l’Ontario, 2017). To partially meet these needs, we have proposed an innovative gerontagogical approach by combining two existing concepts: narrative gerontology with digital storytelling. Thus, by this new concept of Digital Narrative Gerontology, we give seniors a special place for the elaboration of the message they wish to bequeath to other generations, by creating together their life testimonies in digital form easy to share, while mutually acquiring new digital skills and exploiting the benefits of narrative gerontology, such as well-being, aging well, resilience and wisdom, but also informal and intergenerational learning. Communication was important on two levels: between the elder and the researcher during the oral narration and the creation of the digital narration in a relationship of mutual trust as well as in the form of digital testimony with a key message to transmit, during the broadcast of the digital narration. This research also made it possible to respond to the curiosity of the elders for new matters in a reassuring framework, adapted to their level, while respecting their learning pace and the choices of knowledge that they wish to acquire. Seniors were proud to share their digital creation with those they had chosen, thus opening the space for discussions, exchanges, emotions and the open door to a new intergenerational “narrative” and social interactions - sources of learning.

Author(s): Ana Isabel Veloso,Sónia Ferreira,Liliana Vale Costa,Óscar Mealha,Carlos Santos / Language(s): English Issue: 26 (2)/2020

The increase of computer-mediated communication use and the aging population has led to a renewed interest in online communities and social networks for active aging and social support in daily living. However, a systematic understanding of the design recommendations in Senior Online Communities is still lacking in scientific documentation. The aim of this paper is to identify the design recommendations used in online communities that support active aging. In addition, this paper highlights some of the benefits of using online communities by older adults. Twenty-three papers published between January 2015 and May 2020 in English-language, peer-reviewed publications, met inclusion criteria. The review presents a set of recommendations for designing online communities to enhance older adults’ social interactions.

Dječija I Adolescentna Psihijatrija I Psihologija U Bosni I Hercegovini – Stanje I Perspektive

Author(s): / Language(s): Bosnian,English,Croatian,Serbian

Cilj: Prikazati sadašnji model funkcioniranja i analizirati buduće perspektive Odjela za dječiju i adolescentnu Psihijatriju pri Psihijatrijskoj klinici, Univerzitetskog kliničkog centra Sarajevo. Pozadina: Odjel za dječiju i adolescentnu psihijatriju Psihijatrijske klinike postoji preko 50 godina. Funkcioniše kao jedini odjel za dječiju i adolescentnu psihijatriju u Federaciji Bosne I Hercegovine. Ciljna grupa odjela su djeca i adolescenti u dobi od 3 do 18 godina koji imaju određene psihičke poteškoće. Pacijentima se usluge pružaju kroz ambulantu, dnevnu bolnicu i zatvoreno odjeljenje. Osim toga, postoji i savjetovalište za djecu i roditelje. Zbog ekonomskih razloga i profesionalnih razmjena smatramo da je bolje da Odjel funkcioniše u okviru Psihijatrijske klinike za odrasle. Glavni nedostatak ovog modela funkcionisanja se ogleda u kasnom početku tretmana zbog straha od stigmatizacije. Metode: Uporediti model funkcionisanja Odjela za dječiju i adolescentnu psihijatriju u Sarajevu sa drugim klinikama za liječenje djece i adolescenata sa psihičkim smetnjama. Diskusija: U većini zemalja liječenje djece i adolescenata sa psihičkim poremećajima se organizira u okviru samostalnih klinika. Poredeći rad Odjela u sklopu UKC Sarajevo sa radom Zavod u sklopu KBC Zagreb vidimo da se radi o dva veoma slična modela organizacije, ali da je osnovna razlika u dostupnosti adekvatno obrazovanog kadra bez obzira što se tretira otprilike jednak broj djece i adolescenata sa različitim smetnjama. Još veću razliku uočavamo ako poredimo rad Odjela za dječiju i adolescentnu psihijatriju Sarajevo sa radom samostalnih klinika, na primjer, Psihijatrijska bolnica za djecu i mladež Zagreb ima 78 zaposlenih različitih edukativnih profila. Naš Odjel ima samo 10 zaposlenih, iako liječimo približno isti broj pacijenata. Zaključak: Cilj nam je u budućnosti uspostaviti samostalnu kliniku za djecu i adolescente. Za ovaj koncept potrebna su finansijska sredstva, multidisciplinarni profesionalni tim, oprema i prostorije čija raspoloživost zavisi od interesovanja vlasti.

Lakan u Podgorici - ciklus predavanja

Author(s): Filip Kovačević / Language(s): Montenegrine

Kreiran potrebom crnogorske akademske sredine, jedan od vodećih ciljeva Centra za građansko obrazovanje (CGO) je da stvara programe kojima bi odgovorio na manjkave ili, pak, potpuno nezastupljene teme i oblasti upostojećim nastavnim programima visokoškolskih ustanova u Crnoj Gori. Mobilnost i fleksibilnost koja karakteriše sektor civilnog društva osiguravale su nam mogućnost brze i adekvatne „reakcije” u smislu formiranja novih programa, škola, seminara, foruma ili okruglih stolova, organizovanih na teme i u oblastimakoje je nalagao turbulentan, složen i na momente opskuran Zeitgeist. Unutar programa Aktivno građanstvo, početkom 2010. godine CGO je imao zadovoljstvo da realizuje prvi ciklus predavanja o Žaku Lakanu, francuskom psihoanalitičaru, psihijatru i fiolozofu, jednoj od intelektualnih ikona XX vijeka koji je ostavio neizbrisiv trag ne samo na psihoanalizu, već ina teoriju književnosti, filma, kulture, istoriju umjetnosti, feminizam. Ovaj ciklus predavanja predstavljao je pilot projekat u okviru novog obrazovnog potprograma – Savremene tendencije kritičke misli. Ideja je potekla od kreatora i voditelja ciklusa, doc. dr Filipa Kovačevića u januaru 2009. Njegova namjera bila je da se u okviru nekog od programa CGO-a napravi neformalni forum za raspravu o filozofskim, psihološkim i sociološkim temama koji bi bio otvoren za sve zainteresovane. Od 18. februara do 10. juna 2010. godine, četvrtkomu 19h u prostorijama CGO-a, okupljala se nesvakidašnja grupa znatiželjnih entuzijasta zainteresovana za psihoanalitičku teoriju Žaka Lakana. Ovaj više nego uspješan eksperimentalni program bio je volonterski poduhvat u kojem je profesor Kovačević volontirao svoje znanje i stručnost, CGO svoje prostorijei organizacione kapacitete, a polaznici/ce svoju radoznalost i slobodno vrijeme.

Metafizyka dla neurotyka. Czym jest i czym mógłby być coaching filozoficzny?

Author(s): Marcin Fabjański / Language(s): Polish

Seria: Studia Philosophica Silesiensia (3), ISSN 2720-1120 The book deals with the assumptions, practices and challenges facing the new field of practice called “philosophical coaching”. The author proposes a definition of philosophical coaching as ethically and metaphysically engaged coaching, which distinguishes it from all other varieties of coaching, as well as from most psychotherapy approaches, as it is not afraid of metaphysical inquiries and is also ethically committed. From living philosophy, such as was cultivated in Greek and Roman antiquity, and — at the same time — in India and China, it inherited the courage to ask fundamental questions about the meaning of life, human finitude, our place in the cosmos, and the source of good life.

Steinerův přínos moderní psychologii

Author(s): Zuzana Ledvoňová / Language(s): Czech

The goal of this monograph is to uncover conributions of anthroposophy, a doctrine of Rudolf Steiner - thinker of the turn of 19th and 20th century, to the modern science and psychology and compare it with the contemporary scientific knowledge. It consists of analysis of Steiner's doctrine and its comparison with findings of theory of knowledge and psychology. First, we introduce Steiner’s life and work, then his doctrine– anthroposophy, which he called aspiritual science. However, this so called “science” is inconsistent with modern science in many ways, especially in the matter of existence and exploration of the supersensible worlds. The anthroposophy presumes an objective nature of thinking, but only under the assumption of cultivation of thereof and clairvoyant abilities training. Next part is dedicated to Steiner’s thoughts about psychology. For the sake of greater objectivity in science, Steiner and other authors agreed on the need to focus on research and development of the subject of knowledge. For this purpose, a new position of psychology and psychotherapy is oered, because both of them have tools and theories which helps to discover the attributes of the subject. Consequently, we introduce a new paradigm in psychology which is a connection between natural and spiritual sciences, by the same rule as a soul stands between the materialistic and spiritual world. We also outline a new different methodology approach apart from material knowledge and an integration of the sources of knowledge – senses, reason and intuition. Further, the monograph pursues Steiner’s theory of personality and development theory. According to Steiner, a personality consists of body, soul and spirit. Steiner’s theory of personality has the same units as Victor Frankl’s or Ludwig Klages’ theory. We can also find some similarities with transpersonal psychology. We compare Steiner’s conception with psychoanalytic, socialcognitive, humanistic-existential and traits approach as well. Steiner’s development theory is divided to seven-year periods and in each of them a specific part of human being is developing. In each of the period, there is a necessity to affect the developing part according to the principle of teachable moments and sensitive periods by Havighurst. We also find great correspondence with the Piaget’s development theory, partly with Ericson’s and categorical contradictions with Freud’s psychosexual development theory. This publication reveals similarities and differences between modern science and anthroposophy. We highlighted some of the weak points of anthroposophy as well as those of the modern science and introduced a draft of a new approach in science. This draft is a synthesis of both doctrines. This monograph is a contribution to discussion about scientific disposition of the anthroposofic approach. Beside this, we also evaluate usefulness and applicability of the Steiner’s knowledge within modern science.
