THE EDUCATIONAL NETWORK IN AN OPPIDUM IN SZEKLERLAND FROM THE EARLY MODERN PERIOD TO THE MIDDLE OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Author(s): Sipos István / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 33/2023

A town is only as developed as its educational institutions. Several educational institutions have been established in Cristuru Secuiesc since the Middle Ages. The first schools were founded and supported by churches. Catholic, Reformed and Unitarian church schools were founded from the first half of the 17th century onwards, but there are historians who state that these schools have already been established in Cristur in earlier centuries, just like in other Transylvanian towns. However, from the second half of the 19th century, other educational establishments appeared alongside these schools: a Girls' Normal School and even a Pedagogical High School. This paper aims to present the brief history of these educational institutions from the mid-20th century.

ASPECTS CONCERNING TEACHING AND LEARNING OF CULTURAL HERITAGE

Author(s): Maria-Mihaela Avram / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 33/2023

One of the greatest risks to our cultural heritage is ignorance. People who do not recognize a valuable cultural item, may destroy it, or let others do it. Teaching about cultural heritage should happen not only in schools, but also in churches, through public meetings, in every university, in summer school camps, etc. Those who destroy icons and cultural objects for being old, and replace them with new, modern ones, especially in rural areas, are unaware of the value of the objects they have. Television programs should include documentaries on cultural heritage, museums should print fliers with valuable traditional pieces, in a constant effort of diminishing the destruction of cultural heritage objects. Police Departments may contribute alongside archaeologists and teachers to inform students through periodical visits to schools, and lectures about illegal traffic of cultural heritage items. Workshops, visits to archaeological sites and archives, to local craftsmen, may also help them understand the importance of a nation's historic and cultural heritage. This paper tries to emphasize the importance of cultural heritage knowledge, the importance of fight against heritage crime, and the importance of education. Heritage should be part of school curriculum or extracurricular activities in order to teach students how to recognize valuable cultural objects that represent their national identity. For ethnic minorities it is very important to preserve their identity through promoting their cultural creativity and innovation. By learning and understanding different cultures can help avoid misjudging others and improve your knowledge. All cultures are equally worthy of respect. That is why we should fight to accept and protect not just our cultural heritage, but the cultural heritage of others, too.

PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS (SENSORY IMPAIRMENTS)

Author(s): Adriana Ciobanu,Mariana Pîrvan / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 34/2023

Blocked by their own emotions, children with special educational needs have great difficulties in adapting to school, the changing environment of the child with special educational needs influences the somatic and psychological state of the child, children cannot know the full diversity of human experience, thus many social and personal resources remain inaccessible to them. The quality of our lives depends on how we learn to work with emotions. Emotional intelligence is an invaluable tool in the educational process that also affects the formation of higher mental functions, and negative emotional states, chronic dissatisfaction, lead to the adoption of a passive or aggressive communication style thus making it more difficult for them to adapt in mainstream schools but also, lowering school performance. Quality of life for young schoolchildren with ESC/sensory disabilities would mean: necessary psycho-pedagogical assistance (tutoring, remedial education, homework support); therapeutic interventions (individual and group); psychological counselling (mediation).

THE STUDY OF THE PECULIARITIES IN DECISION-MAKING IN ADOLESCENTS

Author(s): Maria Pleșca / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 34/2023

The article deals with the problem of decision-making at the adolescents' age. The adolescent is constantly faced with such situations when it is necessary to choose which way to carry out his activity. This choice will depend on the conditions of the reality that surrounds him, on the goals set, as well as on the individual characteristics of the people who interact with him. In a situation of stress, uncertainty, or choice, it is possible to reduce the influence of emotions on the individual, his behavior, and decision-making, as well as to minimize the feeling of uncertainty only through emotional regulation. The study demonstrated that: 1. there are differences in the manifestation of personal decision-making factors depending on the study profile of adolescents: in ones with a real profile, rationality will be manifested, and in those with a sports profile, the tendency to take risks; 2. there are differences in the manifestation of personal decision-making factors depending on the study profile of adolescents: adolescents with a real profile show rationality, and those with a sports profile tend to take risks.

FINANCIAL EDUCATION – THE PATH TO ECONOMIC WELL-BEING

Author(s): Ioana-Raluca Diaconu,Bogdan Andrei Tiliuță / Language(s): English Issue: 34/2023

Financial education plays a particularly important role in an education-based society and involves having a set of skills and knowledge that enable people to make informed and effective decisions with all their financial resources. This concept is based on understanding the phrases "saving", "investment", "credit" or "interest", terms that can generate a feeling of financial well-being and self-confidence. BNR specialists reveal to us that, in Romania, a large part of people lacks financial education, an aspect confirmed by the latest studies ("Financial well-being and financial literacy in Romania" - 2022 - conducted by the World Institute within the Romanian Academy or "Eurobarometer" - 2023 - representative survey at the European Union level requested by the European Commission). In our research we aim to identify the purpose of financial education, present the latest statistics and studies on the degree of financial inclusion and determine the main advantages as well as the importance of financial education. Therefore, on April 11, 2022, the law establishing Financial Education Day in Romania is promulgated. Financial inclusion has an important role in increasing the quality of life, and for this, financial education programs are needed regarding the facilitation of access to basic financial products and services - internet banking, lending, saving or investments.

HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY SUBJECTS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN INTERWAR BESSARABIA (1918-1928)

Author(s): Ana Onofrei / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 34/2023

In interwar Bessarabia, history and geography played a considerable role in the creation of national sentiment. In all regions of Romania, these subjects began to be taught in schools starting with the 1918-1919 school year. In all secondary schools, the History of the Romanians was introduced instead of the History of Russia and the Geography of the Romanian Countries, instead of the geography of the homeland. National history was taught not only to students, but also to Bessarabian teachers, who wanted to serve in the villages of the region. These disciplines did not aim at the transmission of information, but at the formation of character and love of country. During the school inspections, the inspectors confirmed the fact that history and geography were well rooted in the consciousness of students and teachers, in other cases, they noticed their impassiveness or ignorance in the development of these Romanian objects.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE EDUCATIONAL ACT

Author(s): Miluța Ursu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 34/2023

Emotional intelligence represents the ability to identify, evaluate and control one's own emotions as well as those of the people around. This type of intelligence resides in the ability to know and understand yourself and to know and understand others. Emotional intelligence is related to concepts such as love, empathy, spirituality, and is not related to the intelligence quotient that we all know - IQ." (3, p. 5) In a single phrase, emotional intelligence is the ability to identify, understand and manage moods and feelings - both our own and those of others.

Improving Academic Outcomes and Behaviours through SEL (Social and Emotional Learning)

Author(s): Costina Denisa Bărbuceanu / Language(s): English Issue: 75/2022

It is said that social and demonstrative skills are indicators of how well a person adapts to the social setting, acclimates and changes, and ultimately the success she/he will have in lifespan. In fact, basic developmental skills such as meticulousness, emotional stability, openness, and the ability to be pleasant may be even more important than cognitive intelligence in determining future employability. Despite the fact that these skills are linked to central life outcomes, it can be challenging for teachers to find operative ways to rank, teach, and evaluate social and emotional skills. The expansion of these indispensable life skills through social and emotional learning (SEL) is critical for students' progress, as it is directly related to their success and contentment as adults. For many future students, school is the only place where any deficiency in these skills can be spoken before they become adherents of society. Combining these skills with academic development creates high-quality learning experiences and versatile education environments, (Stoian, 2019a; Stoian, 2019b) that empower students today to be more effective contributors in their lecture rooms and, tomorrow, in their workplaces or groups. The development of these skills has shown several positive results, including better academic outcomes, enhanced attitudes, behaviours and relationships with peers, as well as a deeper linking to faculty, fewer acts of misbehaviour and also less emotional distress (students with depression), unease, pressure or social withdrawal.
