This article analyzes and compares two types of Bulgarian reflexivedative constructions with optative meaning: bi-clausal (Иска ми се да танцувам ‘I wish to dance’) and monoclausal (Танцува ми се ‘I feel like dancing’). It presents the structural and semantic specificity of these constructions as well as the possibilities and constrains for their use. Both structures are distinguished by the presence of a verb in the third person, the reflexive particle се and an obligatory dative clitic expressing an experiencer argument. The bi-clausal constructions are viewed as resulting from optative diathesis: аз искам да ‘I want to’ → иска ми се да ‘I wish to’. The monoclausal constructions are viewed as resulting from a further transformation: Иска ми се да танцувам → Танцува ми се. The semantic specialization of the monoclausal constructions is to express a desire for something based on an internal need (primary or secondary). The dative argument is understood as a ‘feel like/experiencer’ subject of the denoted event.

This study deals with an issue that is significant in view of the buildup of word morphological structure, something frequently neglected by investigators, viz., morphemes encoding specific grammatical meanings of Bulgarian participles, which indicate in a specific way why participial forms belong to a separate lexeme class. Of course, there are authors who have discussed participial morphostructure (Pashov 1976, Vatov 1992, Kutsarov 2012, Kutsarov, I. 2007, Aleksova 2012, etc.). However, almost all of them (save Kutsarov, K. 2012, 2019) interpret the grammatical function of participial morphemes through the prism of the verb, i.e., if the participle is part of the verb form composed. Thus the study sets two basic goals: to describe the morphemic classification of Bulgarian participles according to their traditional description in the verb paradigm; to analyze relational and classification morphemes that belong to participles – morphemes that differentiate participles from adjectives and verbs.

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.

The article presents the results of a questionnaire survey conducted in high schools in some Western and Southwestern Bulgarian towns. The survey includes questions related to the motivation for learning, the students' interest in the subjects studied at school, and their preferences for different scientific fields in higher education. The text gives an example of good practice of interaction between a high school and a Bulgarian university, which attempts to bridge the gap in communication between the two levels of Bulgarian education. Conclusions are made about the place and authority of the philology (in particular – Bulgarian philology) in the modern educational situation.

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.

Theatrical pedagogics allows for the considerable change of the ordinary school lessons and transforms its educational objectives. The students become stronger in their confidence of their skills to use Russian language as a means of communication and willingness to improve their knowledge. Dramatization in Russian language brings positive emotional experience, cultivates creative abilities in children, adds to their personality, trains interest towards the Russian language and Russian culture. Theatrical lessons create conditions for increasing motivation in studying Russian language with lessons in Russian as a foreign language.

The following article explores the usage and transformations of various connotative units in the contemporary Bulgarian and Russian TV advertisement discourse. The role of precedent phenomena (precedent texts, precedent statements, precedent names, precedent situations) is defined in the mirror of intertextuality and interdiscursivity. The theoretical part of this work includes different definitions, on the basis of which the linguocultural units (from classical literature, fairy tales, movies, lyrics of songs, sayings, phraseology, statements of famous people and advertisement) in both languages are grouped according to the classification advanced and their sources of origin and modifications. The different types of structural and semantic changes in their combinations are studied.

Our research interest was provoked by a group of lexical units typical of the German language, containing the productive suffix -weise. These words represent an open system, the representatives of which show a high frequency of use, and nuance the sentence meaning in a distinctive way. The present comparative study between the two unrelated languages, based on a corpus of excerpts from the original fiction and published translated texts from and into German, aims to identify and analyze possible options for precise bilateral translation of the respective lexical items. The analysis made is extremely useful and necessary to overcome the difficulties identified in the course of teaching German as a foreign language, and contributes to the formulation of clear concepts for achieving accurate equivalent translation.

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.

The ascendancy of the bilinguals over the monolinguals in expressing creative potential (Ricciardelli, 1992; Cushen, Wiley, 2011; Lee, Kim, 2010) is verified also for the language pair Ukrainian/Romanian, the present research considered seeking to identify the nature of the connection between bilingualism and creativity in the case of high school students, half of them native Ukrainian (speaking Romanian and Ukrainian) and half monolinguals (Romanian) that were the same age. Other checked variables were: the geo-residential zone, the scholar environment, gender structure of the compared samples. Secondly, it was established both the way that differences of the creative potential are connected with the biological gender of the subjects, and the effects of interaction between the two independent variables. To measure the creative potential The Battery of Creative Thinking Tests (Stoica, Caluschi, 2006) was used. The results showed that bilinguals had better performances at all estimated elements: fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration. The gender variable has an impact, but more limited and particular, that the linguistic one: girls prove creative potential for the elaboration’s dimension, while boys are better to the dimension of fluency and ideation. Also results prove that, in case of combination between bilingualism and biological gender, influences are manifested only in elaboration. Therefore, both bilingual and monolingual girls use more details in their works, taking their bearing more in idea development and being more creative on this field, comparing to bilingual, respectively monolingual boys.

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.

The paper presents an analysis of the potential applications and limitations of the Polish diagnostic tool KOZK – Card for the assessment of communication behaviour in children with hearing impairments within the context of the Slovak Republic. The KOZK approach is a comprehensive method for evaluating communication in children with hearing impairments, encompassing not only spoken language but also facial expressions, gestures, and other forms of non-verbal communication. This area has yet to be explored in our context, offering new possibilities for special pedagogical diagnostics. This article presents the benefits of implementing KOZK, based on interviews with parents of selected children with hearing impairments and observations made as part of the evaluation of communication. Furthermore, the article addresses the potential limitations and challenges that may impact the efficacy of implementing KOZK in our context. In conclusion, the contribution provides an overview of the potential applications and recommendations for the effective use of the KOZK tool within the Slovak Republic.

The study focuses on the topic of teachers with learning disabilities, which, despite the presence of individuals with learning disabilities in undergraduate teacher training programmes and in the teaching profession, has not received sufficient attention in Slovakia. The study employs narrative interviews to delineate pivotal moments and factors that shape the professional trajectories of four teachers with learning disabilities, and to examine their perceptions of teaching in the contextof professional identity formation. Thematic analysis of the data collected identified four categories of meaning that appear to be key to understanding teaching with learning disabilities. These are the following key areas: understanding impairment as part of life, functioning with a learning disability during one’s own education, choosing a future profession, and practising teaching with a learning disability. A significant finding is that the majority of research participants in the teaching profession have shifted from concealing their diagnosis in an attempt to circumvent previous negative experiences with stigma to disclosing their diagnosis as a means of effecting change.

The present study examines the role of family rituals in functional families. A functional family is one that fulfils its basic functions, and it is within such a system that the optimal developmentof the child can be observed. The concept of the functional family has been defined on the basis of two dimensions: cohesion and adaptability. An additional criterion for our investigation was to ascertain whether the family in question employs effective management strategies in response to changes intheir environment. The objective of this paper is to examine the occurrence and various forms of family rituals, which serve to maintain and develop the cohesion of the family system and also support its adaptability. Our findings may prove useful in the eventual implementation of beneficial rituals infamilies that are perceived as dysfunctional, with the intention of improving the environment in which the development of children at risk takes place. To accomplish our goal, we employed a qualitative methodology, collecting data using semi-structured interviews.

The topic of inclusion has resonated in professional and scientific publications in Slovakia quite often in the last decade. However, there are still many questions that stimulate further investigation in the search for answers to what supports and what slows down the inclusive process at school. The report presents the results of the research of the grant project VEGA 1/0280/22, which is focused on the identification of psychosocial factors, which was solved at the Faculty of Education of the University of Prešov in Prešov in 2022 − 2024. The responsible researcher was Mgr. Jarmila Žolnová, Ph.D. The aim of the project was to make an argumentative contribution to the creation of system support for allschool actors. The data found on the side of the school (index of inclusion, organizational climate of theschool), on the side of the teaching staff (teachers’ attitude to inclusion, evaluation of pupil’s behaviourin the classroom), on the side of the learner (satisfaction with school, perception of school success, school achievement, satisfaction with social support from teachers, classmates), can be implemented in the model of inclusive school. The results show a diversity of perceptions of inclusive learning environments in each primary school. The school is a living organism in which unique situations with different inclusive conditions influence the experience and evaluation of the inclusive educational reality.
