Work of Women at Home - Serbian Practice

Рад жена у домаћинству - пракса у Србији

Author(s): Vera Gudac-Dodić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 2/2010

Keywords: housework; household; woman; family; state

Housework, despite being invisible, but necessary for the functioning of a family, in socialism it was mainly done by a woman even when she was employed. Plenty of things were based on her free of charge housework. There were practically two trends of disencumbering primarily an employed woman from housework. The socialist state strategy was based on housework socializing, that is, the tendency of transferring the majority of that work to public services and social institutions. Household modernization by using up-to-date household appliances and latest technological achievements were, also, responsible for the disencumbering an employed woman. However, the establishing of maintainance services and canteens did not yield any signifi cant results. The imbalance in housework performance and the traditional, gender-based division of labour was still designating an everyday life of a woman in socialism.

Charitable work of the London foundation Friends of Poland 1982-2009

Działalność charytatywna londyńskiej Fundacji Friends of Poland 1982-2009

Author(s): Teresa Folga-Naidoo / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 32/2011

Keywords: work of the foundation Friends of Poland; charitable aid for Poland; aid to Poles in the East

The imposition of martial law by the Communist authorities in Poland on 13 December 1981 and the slump in the economic situation of Polish families stimulated Polish emigration circles and well-known persons in the English public life to organize charitable aid for Poland. At the beginning of 1982 the organization Friends of Poland was established. The aid it organized reached most of the main Polish cities until the Communist system collapsed, and then the democratic Poland. After 1990 the work of the organization was mostly re-directed to aiding Poles living in countries that became independent after the Soviet Union was dissolved.

Rev. Franciszek Blachnicki’s social work

Działalność społeczna ks. Franciszka Blachnickiego

Author(s): Robert Derewenda / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 02/2015

Keywords: Rev. Franciszek Blachnicki;social work;temperance movement;oasis;Light – Life Movement;opposition in the Polish People’s Republic;liberation theology;non violence

Rev. Franciszek Blachnicki (1921-1987) is counted among the people who in a special way influenced the shaping of the Polish society in the period of the Polish People’s Republic. He spent the Second World War as a prisoner in Auschwitz and other Nazi camps and prisons. After the war he entered the Seminary and in 1950 he started his pastoral work. In the years 1957-1960 he developed a temperance movement – The Temperance Crusade whose central office was located in Katowice. It published its own books and periodicals and it organized numerous actions and retreats. After the Crusade was abolished by the State authorities Rev. Blachnicki started liturgical and catechetic work, initiating the Oasis Movement in 1969. The participants in this movement adopted a style of life that was different from the one popular in the Polish People’s Republic. Despite difficulties created by the communist authorities the Light – Life Movement developed dynamically, gathering 78 thousand people in summer retreats at the end of the 1980s. Because of alcoholism and social demoralization that grew in the 1970s Rev. Blachnicki initiated another temperance movement in 1979 – The Crusade for the Liberation of Man. Seeing the hypocrisy of the communist system and the propaganda of a “broad social support” in March 1980 he appealed to the Oasis participants to boycott the “election” in the Polish People’s Republic and to think over their membership in the communist party and in other Marxist organizations. In the “Solidarity” period Rev. Blachnicki prepared a special program of evangelization retreats for working people. In November 1981 he initiated an association called the Independent Christian Social Service. In 1982, in emigration in Germany, he established the Christian Service for the Liberation of Nations. The association worked for the liberation of nations that lost their statehood or independence. Rev. Blachnicki’s dynamic work was stopped by his sudden death in February 1987.

Author(s): Hikmet Hekić / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 62/2015

Keywords: giftedness; gifted pupils; identifying gifted children; forms of work;

The article relates about the phenomenon of gifted children in schools. The term gifted is defined explicating its forms as well and the problems in identifying gifted students are also discussed. Keeping in view the school practice which shows that being gifted is most often a problem of those who are gifted but also a problem to the surrounding in which they live, it is necessary to employ variety of the forms of class work in order to provide challenges and the scope for their development. The work in schools has so far been oriented by generally accepted “average” criterion as the criteria of estimating student’s potential. There is a variety of forms and methods that can be applied in working with gifted pupils. However all can be reduced to three, most commonly applied: homogenous grouping, acceleration and enrichment of the class work for gifted pupils. It is known that every child is born with one or more potential gifts. It is important to recognise gifted children as movers of our society, by this we do not mean that they need “elitist” approach they must be provided with the scope for development of their abilities with due respect to every individual personality The work with gifted pupils must be carried out with respect to all the complexity of educational and upbringing process. These children must be provided the opportunity for all-round development and growth.

Social Pedagogy/Social Work in Germany

Pedagogika społeczna/praca socjalna w Niemczech

Author(s): Rita Braches-Chyrek,Heinz Sünker / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2016

Keywords: history of social pedagogy and societal work; capitalist society; possibility of emancipation; political productivity

The history of social pedagogy and social work (for more than 35 years embraced by the common name of “societal work”) is an aspect of the development of the German society. Their existence is determined by the structural durability of social inequality. The submitted text reconstructs the historical and systemic conditions for the development of social pedagogy/societal work across the German lands. The analysis focuses around the thesis that social pedagogy practiced in bourgeois-capitalist social formation, accepting the capitalist model of socialization, has to have a special way of dealing with the evolution of relations between the society/social structures and the individual, and thus the conditions of the constitution of subjectivity, the ability to operate, etc. The historical development shows that social pedagogy/social work has been exposed to political instrumentalization.

The Poetics of Mistake in Lesya Ukrainka’s Creative Work

Поетика помилки в творчості Лесі Українки

Author(s): Svitlana Kocherga / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 95/2017

Keywords: Lesya Ukrainka; aberration; mistake; Gammatia; reflection; semiotics;

The presence of a mistake in the scientific and artistic text has its own specifics and a certain sense. The origins of the scientific interpretation of the phenomenon of false date back to the category of a Gammatia based by Aristotle. The attention to mistakes as a manifestation of the accidental and means of expression was actualized by researchers of avant-garde, futurism, postmodern literature. The purpose of the proposed article is to analyze the varieties of the artistic aberration as a factor in Lesya Ukrainka's poetics in the context of her modernist searchers. The mistakes in dramas of the author mostly are the plot center and they are the result of difficult choices of characters (“Blue Rose”, “Cassandra”, “Boyar”, “Rufin and Priscilla”, “Forest Song”, “Orgy”, “On the Blood Field”, etc). The formal mistake as a sign of absurdity most markedly forms the originality of the artistic world of Lesya Ukrainka's fantastic drama “Autumn Fairy Tale”. The semiotics of false facts in her writings is always subordinated to the figurative paradigm of the text. In particular voluntaristic temporal shifts in the usage of iconic symbols of nature or culture emphasize the essence of the characters in the drama “Advocate Martian”, “In the Dense Forest” and others. The aberration phenomenon appears the central problem in Lesya Ukrainka's story “The Mistake”, which is based on the self-analysis of the writer-revolutionary who stays in prison. It is proved that the narrator is close to admit his mistake to be “orpheustic” (Maurice Blanchot) which means that his desire to own the woman took precedence over the duty of the poet just sing about her. So, Lesya Ukrainka in her creativity offers a variety of interpretations of characters' reflections over the painful consequences of a false existential choice. In conclusions, Gammatia is recognized as a symbol of the author's interpretation of modern life, with the specific fluctuations of the individual between loneliness and solidarity.

PASTORAL WORK ACCORDING TO THE “PLAN AND PROGRAMME”

PREMA ‘PLANU I PROGRAMU’ U PASTORALNOM DJELOVANJU

Author(s): Pero Aračić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1/2004

Keywords: pastoral planning; programming; strengths of planning; planning unit; Institute of Pastoral Sociology;

The starting point of this article is the necessity for the establishment of pastoral planning at biblical and educational levels. Then it elaborates the concepts and themes related to planning and programming, together with their significance in long and short periods, presenting many advantages together with the statement that the culture of individual planning has an impact on the approach to planning in a community. A clever pastoral management includes: competence of guidance, cooperative pastoral work, personal planning, material planning, planning of space and time, plan and programme. This should not be considered as an easy task. If we put ourselves in the position of those who listen to God’s message and seek for God’s will, we’ll probably come to the necessity for the determination of the real situation in which the faith is found, of the definition of the existence of a Christian and his/her community and of the means required to perform certain activities, as well as of the needy. However, one should bear in mind that, in the end, the Church is not our, but God’s project and His endeavour. He is and He remains the “head” of the constructing of the Church. And, unless the Lord build it, we who build labour in vain (Ps 127, 1).

Work seniority as a determinant of employment intensity

Staż pracy jako determinanta intensywności podejmowania zatrudnienia

Author(s): Beata Bieszk-Stolorz / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 08/2015

Keywords: employment; labour market; unemployment; life events histories analysis

The purpose of this article is to analyse the intensity of unemployment leaving in relation to the length of an unemployed person’s work seniority. A hypothesis was made that its intensity changes depending of that person’s employment history and on its gender as well as education. The research material consisted of individual data of 21,398 unemployed people registered by the Poviat Labour Office (PUP) in Szczecin in 2012 and observed throughout 2013. The author used the event history analysis, which was conducted in three steps. First, the author assessed the likelihood of remaining unemployed depending on the unemployment period.

BEZPIECZEŃSTWO PRACY MEDIATORA-BADANIA PILOTAŻOWE

Author(s): Joanna Kufel-Orłowska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2021

Keywords: mediation; mediator; safety at work; pilot studies;

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the functioning of the mediator profession in various aspects of its effectiveness. This implies the need for research in all dimensions of his work. Much has been said about the mediation procedure, about the ways of conducting it, about ethics and even the desired qualities of a mediator, but it has not yet been examined whether his/her work is safe, and if not, what constitutes the greatest threat in it. The work of a mediator is distinguished not only by specific technical and organizational features, but also based on unique competences, skills and knowledge. The role of the mediator is to perform specific tasks that are characterized by high social usefulness, and his activity is primarily focused on working with people. The article describes the specificity of the mediator's profession and discusses the pilot studies carried out among professionally active mediators in Poland in terms of the safety of their work, in general and psychological aspects.

Mature teachers about their job – a research work

Dojrzali nauczyciele o swojej pracy – raport z badań

Author(s): Elżbieta Strutyńska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4 (41)/2022

Keywords: teacher; strengths; challenges

The article outlines how mature teachers perceive the strengths and challenges in everyday schoolwork. The presented analyzes are based on 14 individual in-depth interviews (IDI) with teachers who have many years of work experience in school (minimum 20) and are over 50 years old. In the research, I used thematic analysis. In addition, I coded the data using the inductive approach. I selected four categories of thematic threads that define the advantages of a mature teacher. The respondents described themselves not only through the prism of individual characteristics but also through various types of competencies (e.g. didactic and methodological), the ethos of the profession and the specificity of the period of life. At the same time, they pointed to the difficulties associated with many years of work in the domain - health problems, contemporary challenges and many years of professional experience. Celem artykułu jest próba nakreślenia (i) sposobów postrzegania przez dojrzałych nauczycieli ich mocnych stron oraz (ii) wyzwań, przed którymi stają w codziennej pracy szkolnej. Podstawą zaprezentowanych analiz jest 14 indywidualnych wywiadów pogłębionych (IDI) z nauczycielkami, które mają wieloletni staż pracy w szkole (minimum 20) i ukończone 50 lat. W badaniach zastosowałam analizę tematyczną. Dane kodowałam w ramach podejścia indukcyjnego. Wyłoniłam cztery kategorie wątków tematycznych, które określają atuty dojrzałego nauczyciela. Badani określali siebie nie tylko poprzez pryzmat charakterystyk indywidualnych, ale także różnego rodzaju kompetencji (np. dydaktyczno-metodycznych), etosu zawodu i specyfiki okresu życia. Równocześnie wskazali na trudności związane z długoletnią pracą w zawodzie – problemy zdrowotne, wyzwania współczesności oraz wieloletnie doświadczenie zawodowe.
