Семантиката на другостта в противостоянията на XXI век

Author(s): Dorothea Valentinova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2016

The focus of the article is on the new-old “weapons” of the triad power-control-capital, harnessed in the development of new geopolitical strategies and a new social, political and cultural engineering on global scale. Attempts to identify, define and decode them are complicated by infiltration of various new or forgotten old paradigms related to the legitimization of new or forgotten old “enemies”. The common feature between all these models, however, is the opposition of us against them (the Others), ours against theirs, us against us; the artificial generation of confrontations and zones of tensions between different types of protagonists and antagonists, the use, misuse and manipulation of the social anger, the strategical involvement of different players with different roles - representatives of corporations and monopolies, government regulatory bodies and state institutions, civil society activists and organizations.

„Стратегическо мислене – метапознание – рефлексия“в практическото обучение на студенти педагози

Author(s): Nikolay Tsankov,Veska Guviiska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2016

The paper explores the relation strategic thinking – metacognition –reflection in the context of the professional training programs of education majors.It revisits the idea of strategic thinking championed by an array of philosophersfrom Immanuel Kant through John Dewy to Martin Covington, who foregroundsthe issue from the point of view of education and student success. The latter is feasible only if clear criteria are available to the student as regards his/her capabilities, the complexity of the task and the resources employed in its resolution.In principle, this is a process of metacognition inasmuch as the student evaluates his/her own reasoning and professional reflection developed in the shape of self observation and self-cognition. Our assumption is that the most important condition for the utilization and realization of this relation is the language behavior of the student wherein language and idea, reasoning and questioning, doubt and argument validation coincide. The analysis is developed within the framework of Donald Davidson’s conception of reiterating the relation between language and act and that between language and mental processes as a network of convictions, attitudes and expectations.

Дигитални медии и работа с художествени текстове в обучението по немски език като чужд

Author(s): Elena Savova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2016

The text presents opportunities to use digital media and technology when working with literary texts in teaching German as a foreign language. In this context is being discussed the importance of digital media and their hermeneutic and didactic useful properties (accessibility, multimediality/hypermediality, interactivity). Based on theoretical and methodological literature are presented different opportunities for using various electronic resources, educational materials, electronic applications, platforms, tools, functions, types of tasks. In this way we support the argument that didactic use of digital media complements and enriches the traditional repertoire of learning activities when working with foreign language literature texts. The goal is not only of building a common communication skills of those who study a foreign language, but also of stimulating their creative thinking and behavior, of building conscious and autonomous learners and developing aesthetic and media competence. The conclusion is that to achieve these goals in the current language learning practice through literature are mostly used the "accessibility" and "multimediality/hypermediality" properties of digital media. In recent times is often utilized and the "interactivity". The existing studies often try to comply both with innovative ways of teaching and communication, as well as aesthetic qualities of literary works.
