La narrativa cartográfica de Antonio Muñoz Molina en los Misterios de Madrid y la Noche de los tiempos

Author(s): Arantxa Fuentes Ríos / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 3/2018

Starting from the epistemological framework of literary cartography, throughout this article we will dwell on the concept of map as a literary spatial structure. First, we will outline the panorama in which the map has become a recurrent tool in cultural industries, as is observed not only at an editorial level, but also in the development of literary tourism. In parallel, within the contemporary novel, the map is also present as a spatial tissue underlying the novelistic structure. This will be our main object of study. In this regard, we will discern the characteristics of this spatial narrative design and its hermeneutical implications, and then develop this cartographic perspective in two novels by the Spanish writer Antonio Muñoz Molina: The Mysteries of Madrid and The Night of Time.

Childhood and Technology. Short Notes on Genre and Character Picture of Bulgarian Children’s and Young Adult Literature of the 1920s and 1930s

Author(s): Nadezhda Stoyanova / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2018

The article is focused on the interpretation of technology in Bulgarian children’s and young adult literature of the 1920s and 1930s. The research asserts that it is not possible to talk about technology in Bulgarian literature ignoring the works written for children and youths because it was the Bulgarian children’s and young adult literature that started to include more often and to develop consecutively the images of the child and the machine in common literary plots. The first part of the article places an emphasis on the notions ‘childhood’ and ‘machine’. The second part is focused on the particular genres that integrate technology as a topic (biographies and science fiction novels are the main ones), and the third part is about the changes in the character system (the inventor, the worker, etc.) that this topic provokes.

Езиковите технологии и ресурси – нови перспективи в обучението по български език (Българската лексикално-семантична мрежа БулНет и Българският национален корпус)

Author(s): Svetla Koeva,Svetlozara Leseva,Ivelina Stoyanova,Maria Todorova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2016

The paper proposes approaches for the application of electronic language resources and technologies in Bulgarian language teaching. The active integration of language technologies in the teaching process leads to an increased interest in the subject, the formation of skills for individual work, and the development of research skills. We present in more detail two language resources for Bulgarian: BulNet – a lexical semantic network for Bulgarian, and the Bulgarian National Corpus. The application of these resources in language teaching is demonstrated through several types of linguistic problems.

Музеят и „културата на участие“ – проекции в български образователен контекст

Author(s): Vasya Delibaltova,Sonya Penkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 7/2018

The authors accept the thesis that the conception of ‘museum of participation’ is well-grounded and perspective by the standards of the building of modern museums. The main arguments are sought in the direction of social change and its reflection on the modern museum and pedagogical theory. The ideas of N.Simon are extensively represented and the points of intersection between them and the general perspective they give have been sought. Arguments are advanced regarding the need for: Change in the roles of museum workers and the audience; Change in the conception of museum educational content and the ways of its creation; Change in the methods applied in the different programs; Change in the forms in which the programs are implemented; Change in the conception, creation, contents and implementation of museum educational programs; Change in the concept about the results from the study in a museum environment and its assessment. The described characteristics are taken as landmarks for the design of modern and effective museum educational programs. On this basis a concretization of the work of the National Museum of Military History has been extensively presented in terms of main directions of work as well as concrete programs.

Interactive Game Development to Assist Cultural Heritage

Author(s): Zsolt László Márkus,Gábor Kaposi,Miklós Veres,Zsolt Weisz,György Szántó,Tibor Szkaliczki,Desislava Paneva-Marinova,Radoslav Pavlov,Detelin Luchev,Maxim Goynov,Lilia Pavlova / Language(s): English Issue: VIII/2018

Serious educational games provide a novel way to transfer knowledge on cultural heritage, which can especially attract young people by using interactive multimedia technology. The paper presents a new flexible tool for developing, managing and presenting games. This server-based solution can facilitate the game development by applying game templates, layout styles and question pools. It also supports the development of game packages for multiple languages and multiple platforms (Web and mobile). The games can easily be customised for various learning domains. Complex games can be composed from several so-called minigames (e.g. puzzle, multiple choice, memory game, crossword etc.) and the tool also supports the evaluation of the user answers and organising competitions. The games were applied to deepen knowledge on various topics related to our cultural heritage. The latest game development is represented by the serious educational game “The Thracians” running in a virtual 360º panorama environment, which presents the life, beliefs and traditions of the ancient tribes.

Ефектът от прилагането на интерактивно личностно ориентирано обучение по математика върху успеха на учениците при завършване на прогимназиална образователна степен и Национално външно оценяване

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.
