Bartłomieja z Jasła Pochwała logiki

Author(s): Michał Tadeusz NOWORYTA / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2022

Bartholomew of Jasło was a professor at the University of Prague and the University of Kraków, active about the turn of the 14th century. He was mostly interested in logic, methodology, and social changes, as equal access to education for everyone, no matter their status. His first, and only so far edited, work is the so-called First sermon of the restoration of University. Most of the so far discovered works by Bartholomew are sermons, mostly based on Seneca, Boethius, and others, authors not so popular in his day. The paper introduces to the edition of two redactions just such a sermon: his opening lecture to logic (recommendation of logic).

This article outlines the transformations of Polish education and new trends in pedagogy that impacted the development of readership during the Second Republic of Poland. Included in this article is also an analysis of selected curricula for teaching Polish language in public schools and guidelines for how they were implemented with a focus on the development of reading and reading skills.

Introligatorstwo krakowskie pierwszej połowy XIX wieku w świetle dokumentów cechowych

Author(s): Elżbieta Pokorzyńska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2021

The archive documents of the Krakow Bookbinding Guild confronted with the legal acts in force allow us to examine the activity of the guild in the first half of the 19th century. At that time, the guild organisation still held a monopoly on the practice of crafts, and the poor economic condition of the city did not allow for the development of this trade. The number of members of the guild and bookbinding workshops was small, usually no more than ten, and the number of apprentices they employed was also small. In the majority of cases, the workshops were handed down from one generation to the next. In addition, the influx of foreign professionals and master’s qualifications to the guild was small, limited by high registration fees. At the same time, the Krakow bookbinding centre educated many students, and many apprentices from foreign centres arrived in the city

U dział młodzieży akademickiej w przedsięwzięciach bibliograficznych w okresie zaborów (druga połowa XIX i początek XX wieku)

Author(s): Alicja Matczuk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2021

In the second half of the 19th century and in early 20th century, one could observe an increase in the appearance of bibliographic studies initiated or prepared by Polish university students. This new form of bibliographic work was promoted by scientific societies, especially Czytelnia Akademicka – an association of young people studying at University of Lviv and Jagiellonian University. Created in the 1860s under the auspices of leading academics, it was further developed in scientific societies with bibliography-oriented profiles. Lviv pioneered quantitative and qualitative bibliographic projects and it was there, that the Historians Society, under the direction of Ludwik Finkel, created the fundamental Bibliography of Polish History, a basic scientific aid to historians, as well as Alexander Hirschberg’s Bibliography of Uprisings of the Polish People. It was there too that the first attempts were made to compile current bibliography in the field of literature and philosophy. Students at Jagiellonian University were also bibliographically active, although to a much lesser extent. For example, Franciszek Gawełek initiated and individually developed a Retrospective Bibliography of Polish Ethnography. Also, students of the Faculty of Imperial Law of the University of Warsaw (located in the Kingdom of Poland) contributed to Adolf Suligowski’s works on the Bibliography of Polish Law of 19th and 20th Centuries.

We Need You, Uncle Sam: Images of the USA Entry into World War I in Polish School History Textbooks During the First Two Decades of the Twenty-first Century

Author(s): Marek Białokur,Karolina Biedka / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2021

This paper presents an analysis of the content of Polish school textbooks for teaching history in the context of the USA’s entry into World War I in 1917. School textbooks have been chosen as the dominant source of student history knowledge. Fourteen textbooks were analysed: seven for the third stage of education (lower secondary schools) and seven for the fourth stage (upper secondary schools, technical schools). These were used between 2001 and 2017. The USA’s entry into the Great War undoubtedly had a decisive impact on the outcome of the global conflict. The article shows the way in which this subject was presented to students in schools. We analyse the information contained in the textbooks on the circumstances of this historical event and the conclusions and assessments formulated. Special attention is also paid to the didactic solutions applied.

The Role of Presidia of National Councils in the Recruitment Process for Higher Education in 1953–1956 on the Example of the Voivodeship of Zielona Góra

Author(s): Bohdan Halczak / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

On 2 March 1953, the Prime Minister established a new procedure of recruiting university entrants. In order for the high school graduates to pursue higher education they had to receive a positive opinion from the administrative authorities in their district. The communist authorities directed to the universities young people who were of a peasant and working class. Young people who were considered to be of “a foreign social class” were prevented from attending university. This procedure was in force until 1956. The article presents the process of the recruitment for the university candidates in 1950–1953 in the realities of the Voivodeship of Zielona Góra.

HISTORIJSKE OSNOVE VISOKOG OBRAZOVANJA U SARAJEVU – OSMANSKI PERIOD

Author(s): Ayse ZISAN FURAT,Fikret Karčić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 93/2023

The authors here thematize the historical foundations upon which higher religious education was developed in Sarajevo during the Ottoman period. The introductory part of the article relates of Waqf, a religious institution that provided the financial bases for the establishment of madrasas. Following this, they present a short review of the system of madrasas in the Ottoman classical period explaining the divisional structure therein. Further in the text they talk about the founding of Gazi Husrev-bey’s Madrasa in Sarajevo and about its status within the educational system of the Ottoman state, its Teaching Plan and Programme, and its mudarreses (teachers). Along with this madrasa, its founder, Gazi Husrev-bey, also established a school library which has over time developed into a public library. A brief history of Gazi Husrev-bey’s Library is also offered here along with the list of its librarians of the Ottoman era. In the final part of the article, the authors conclude, by drawing a parallel with the Turkish educational system, that the date of the foundation of Gazi Husrev–bey’s Library could be taken as the date of the foundation of Sarajevo University.

VJERSKO-PROSVJETNI I DRUŠTVENI ANGAŽMAN IBRAHIMA EFENDIJE AJANOVIĆA (1884-1941)

Author(s): Meho Manjgo / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 93/2023

The focus of this article is on life and work of Ibrahim efendi Ajanović (1884-1941), a prominent ‘alim of Rogatica of the first half of 20th century. On the bases of the documents preserved in the Archives of the Islamic Community of Bosnia and Herzegovina, we here bring some details of his life from his birth, education, intellectual progress, and his almost thirty years of service. After completing madrasa in Rogatica and six years of studies in Merhemića Madrasa,three years of education in Dāru-l-mu’allimīn in Sarajevo, Ibrahim-efendi, in the year 1913, joins the service as mu’allim in his birthplace of Šljedovići where he was later engaged as imam, hatib, imam-regstrar and finally as imam of a jamaat. His greatest contribution, however, was made in his role of a mu’allim as he achieved remarkable results in maktab class by bringing up a significant number of sibyan-mu’allims. He developed and extended the Plan and Program for maktab class and brought it almost to the level of an elementary madrasa. Just like reisu-l-ulema Džemaludin-efendi Čaušević, he used every opportunity to stress the importance of education and upbringing of Muslim children. He initiated the establishment of a primary school in Šljedovići, and maktabs in Dub, Đedovići, Rodić, and other villages surrounding Rogatica. In years prior to the Second World War he was elected mayor of Dub municipality. During this service, he made a remarkable contribution to developing and strengthening good relations between the Muslim and the Orthodox population of this municipality.

Hledání mezinárodního řádu: přístup Anglické školy k analýze mezinárodní politiky

Author(s): Aleš Karmazin / Language(s): Czech Issue: 3/2022

The English School of International Relations is one of the long-established theoretical approaches in IR that systematically interrogates the purpose and the character of international order at the macro-level of international politics. This paper aims to introduce and explore how the English School theoretically conceptualises and investigates international order by analysing deeply embedded (the so-called primary) institutions and other related institutional elements, norms and practices. The paper synthesises the core argument of the School, discusses how recent debates develop it and which key cleavages are present among English School authors. I argue and demonstrate that the English School has been dynamically evolving in the last two decades and that it can contribute to our understanding of the changing world. The paper also encourages the development of English School research in the Czech academic context.

THE INTERCULTURAL PARADIGM OF EDUCATION

Author(s): Teodor Pătrăuţă / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 34/2023

The future of the European space must be understood as a place of fruitful confrontation between several different cultural codes, which could have dysfunctional effects, at least at certain times, if not intelligently managed. This problem of adaptation not only for people, but also for institutions that must be adapted to receive people with particular value codes. The national identity, which must now be integrated into the European context, often contradicts centralist national ideologies. This will cause marginalized subcultures to be claimed to assert themselves differently than before.

A RECOVERABLE MODULE IN THE PROFESSIONALIZATION OF TEACHERS: THE SCHOOL MANUAL

Author(s): Nelu Vicol / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 34/2023

The text reveals the problematic of the school textbook. Elaborating a manual is also a work that requires pedagogical ingenuity and artistic talent, given that it is a reality discussed to the maximum (content, volume, functions, value, utility). The school manual is an official education policy document, which ensures the concretization of the school curriculum in the formation of competencies at a systematic and procedural level, through didactic units that can be operationalized from a formative perspective.

CURRENT PERSPECTIVES ON THE MANAGERIAL ROLES OF THE TEACHER

Author(s): Marta Mutașcu (Gana) / Language(s): English Issue: 34/2023

This article is a synthesis of the current theoretical landmarks in the international and national literature regarding the managerial roles of the teacher, more precisely the way in which the management of the class of students is carried out. This area is of particular interest to pedagophical research and refers to the wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers use to keep students organized, focused, task-minded and productive during an hour so that educational goals can be achieved. When classroom management strategies are effectively executed, teachers minimize behaviors that prevent learning both individually, for each individual student, and for the group, as a distinct psychosocial entity, while maximizing behaviors that facilitate or improve learning. In general, effective teachers demonstrate great class management skills, while the hallmark of the inexperienced or less effective teacher is a messy class, where students do not work effectively or pay attention to tasks. In the first section of the article we will define the concept of management and argue its usefulness in the sciences of education. Later we will analyze the class of students from a systemic perspective and we will review the most important managerial roles of the teacher. Finally, we will analyze the current paradigms aimed at optimizing the teacher-student relationship in pedagogical practice.

4-6 Yaş Kur’an Kurslarına Yönelik Online Şikâyetler Üzerine Bir Durum Çalışması: sikayetvar.com Örneği

Author(s): Fatma Kurttekin / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 4/2023

The “2022 Administrative Activity Report” states that the number of Qur’an courses for 4-6-year-olds affiliated with the Presidency of Religious Affairs, which started its educational activities with a pilot programme in the 2013-2014 academic year, has rapidly increased to 5,651. A certain standard and level of quality are expected from these educational institutions. When these expectations and quality are not met, stakeholders can express their dissatisfaction/complaints within their immediate social circles on a micro level and to a broader audience through the internet on a macro level. One of the complaint platforms where these grievances are published in our country is a website called “sikayetvar.com”. The website “sikayetvar.com” has been preferred due to being the first complaint platform, allowing free membership, and providing easy sharing of complaints. In this respect, the study aims to analyze and evaluate the dissatisfaction with the problems related to service quality by examining the complaints about the 4-6-year-old Qur’an courses that were published between 1.6.2019 and 30.6.2023. To achieve this research goal, document scanning and content analysis were used. The research identified 166 complaints associated with Qur'an courses for ages 4-6, categorized into three themes: “registration and dues”, “staff”, and “legitimacy and facilities/resources”. Almost all of the complaints were centered around registration dues, and personnel matters. The findings suggest that the Presidency of Religious Affairs should adopt a proactive and solution-oriented approach to enhance service quality and strengthen its connection with internal and external stakeholders. Several suggestions for achieving this goal are provided.

Power and violence in Ignatian education

Author(s): Jerzy Kochanowicz / Language(s): English Issue: 2 (43)/2023

Since 1548, Ignatian education has been offered in thousands of educational institutions run by the Society of Jesus. The aim of the article is to identify manifestations of power and violence in this education. The author uses the historical method, analyzing the documents produced by the Jesuits before their suppression in 1773, when a relatively uniform system of teaching and upbringing was in force in their institutions around the world. The author notes that Ignatian education was inspired by the spirituality and experiences of the founder of the Order, Ignatius of Loyola was as a self-demanding man, determined and at the same time sensitive and open. He created a thriving, highly hierarchical institution with a global reach, but able to flexibly adapt to local conditions. Despite their laudable aims, Jesuit schools offering Ignatian education have been marked by symbolic, structural and physical violence, and most Jesuits have sided with those of power and importance for centuries. It was only in the 20th century that they took a more decisive stand on the side of those most in need.

Ruchy kobiece w Rosji na przełomie XIX i XX w. w walce o dostęp kobiet do edukacji

Author(s): Beata Goworko-Składanek,Joanna Sadowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 14/2023

Women’s movements in Russia in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries consisted of a number of environments that differed in terms of ideology and were activating at different times. All of them wanted to broaden women’s access to education, up to equal rights with men. For some it was the main goal, as education was a chance for women to gain economic independence and subjectivity. Achieving these goals required not only the consent of the tsarist authorities, but also a change in the patriarchal attitude of society, including women themselves. Progress was gradual, but not systematic, and there were periods of regression. The main factor was the current political and social situation in the Empire, which was very dynamic at that time. Six decades saw the spread of co-educational primary schools and Sunday schools for adults, the creation of female high schools with a curriculum close to that of male gymnasia, and female colleges of a vocational nature. Independent, active, conscious and educated leaders of women’s movements have become role models for new generations of women.
