The Challenge of Achieving High Quality Non-formal Teaching in Community Settings

Author(s): Terry Price / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2018

This paper is written by a non-educational professional and draws upon considerable personal experience (and that of others) of designing and managing learning based projects in communities that rely almost exclusively on tutors to deliver non-formal courses to a diverse range of learners with widely different needs and prior experience of learning. In some ways this remains a widely neglected sector within education across many parts of Europe when compared with the formal teaching of adults and children in primary, secondary and tertiary settings despite arguably facing the greatest teaching challenges. The paper will reflect on the reality for learners, learning providers and tutors and focus on the demands these make upon tutors and their consequent support and professional development whilst contrasting the reality of investment by Government and agencies in recognising and resourcing these needs and positing alternative ways in which it may be more likely to occur.

С езика на числата за равнището на текстова компетентност на учениците от прогимназиален етап

Author(s): Snezhanka Dobreva Georgieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2018

The article presents the result of three experimental years. Number indicators are shown in order to measure at the beginning and at the end of the experiment the level of textual competence of one hundred and thirteen students in two secondary schools in the town of Shumen. The level of textual competency is divided into two groups: the first one-receptive skills of the students (defined as the ability of understanding the text and analyzing it) and the second one-productive skills (creating and retelling a composition). According to number results are suggested methodical decisions (exercises, lessons, two types of algorithms-one for analyzing a text and second for editing textual mistakes) all for bettering the level of textual competency of the students in secondary schools in understanding parts of speech as cohesive devices in a text.

Етноцентризмът и инерциите от миналото – сериозни проблеми в българската образователна система (етнопедагогически аспекти на основното и средното образование)

Author(s): Vesselin Tepavicharov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2018

In this article, the author presents some problematic areas of the Bulgarian educational system related to ethnocentrism and unforgettable inertia from the near and farther past. The author’s opinion is supported by materials from field ethnographic researches and some publications dealing with the issue under consideration. Ethnocentrism is represented in its negative side in some history lessons and also in the literature that do not take into account the feelings of Bulgarian citizens of Turkish ethnic origin and Muslim religious background. As a weakness of our educational system, the practical absence of materials referring to the history and culture of the minority communities in Bulgaria is mentioned. The text also shows that this is a weakness of the educational systems of European countries at all, which in turn hampers the integration of minority communities into societies of state-building European nations. As an opposition to ethnocentrism, the educational practice in Latin America has been mentioned, where racial, ethnic and religious harmony has been achieved through the study of community history and culture.

Роля на психолога в приобщаващото образование

Author(s): Аneta Atanasova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 8/2018

Inclusive education in Bulgaria is trying to make its way as part of the government politics backed with the relevant normative documents for the last twenty years. Although the topic is not novel, it is still actual, significant and discussable. The transition from integration into inclusion is already a fact at the normative base and is still being slowly established in human consciousness and in the practice of kindergartens and schools. The full understanding and real accomplishment of inclusive practice is a process which should be supported by the professional psychological society. Bulgarian psychologists still unsurely walk forward, participate and impose their competence in the scope of inclusive education. The psychologists’ roles are many-handed and complicated. The report conceptualizes and discusses the main activities, roles and competences which the psychologists should own, participating into the process of inclusive education.

Функционално оценяване на потребностите и практически техники за успешното приобщаване на децата с увреден слух в общообразователната среда

Author(s): Neda Balkanska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 8/2018

The ways of integration of children with hearing impairment in mainstream schools are the object of discussion in this article. The main thesis advocated in the content is the importance of adequate needs assessment of hearing-impaired children, the application of an individual approach in education that is oriented not only to children with hearing impairment but also to all children with SEN, as well and to all students in the class. The theory of multiple intelligence offers a solid argument in this direction regarding registering the learning style for each child and his/her inclusion in structured group activities that also stimulate social integration.

Author(s): Mina Hubenova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 8/2018

The introduction of cross-cultural issues in teaching is a logical consequence of the integrative tendencies which are getting more and more popular. The new circumstances require a different attitude towards the learners. They should be viewed as subjects of their own culture on the one hand, and as representatives of the foreign culture through the culture studied, on the other hand, the problem is discussed in terms of its cognitive, emotional and pragmatic dimensions.

Трябва да се борим за правата на детето – педагогическите идеи на Корчак от перспективата на Омбудсмана по правата на детето

Author(s): Marek Michalak / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 9/2018

Responsibility today has become the main educational, social, cultural and political problem. Undoubtedly, the period of a special development of the child protection dates from XX century and continues until now. In the beginning, there were appeals and innovatory views on the education of children of the Swedish pedagogue and feminist Ellen Key, who proclaimed XX century as a “century of the child”. After that came the ideas, the creative work and mainly the practical activity of Janusz Korczak. When he was alive Korczak spoke on the topic of children`s protection: “side by side to the defender that knows paragraphs of the written laws, I insist to assign a place to the educator that knows the secrets of unwritten laws” – and by that as announcing the establishment of the institution ombudsman of human rights. Children`s rights are our common responsibility – of the government, the observing institutions, scientists, non-governmental activists, teachers, educators. We should fight for them, to insist, so we would not stand one day in front of the dilemma that Irena Sendlerowa posed, one of the greatest among us, who was rewarded in 2007 with the Medal of the Smile from children themselves: “And what the world did? The Great powers? The world was silent! And silence sometimes means to agree with what is happening”.

Author(s): Barbara Smolińska-Theiss / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 9/2018

Children`s rights are not only with a legal but also with a pedagogical character. They take into account not only children`s specifics but they also bear educational messages. Janusz Korczak who is considered as a herald of the children`s rights has special merits in this respect. His idea regarding the children and childhood, which was exposed almost one hundred years ago, is reinvented again today and it is decoded as “pedagogical spirit” of the Convention of the rights of the child.

Author(s): Boryana Miteva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2018

Integration process in the region of East Asia is a relatively new phenomenon in comparison with Europe or America. The idea for deepening East-Asian regional cooperation emerged during 50s and 60s of XX century. Nevertheless, East Asian countries were not ready to take steps in that direction yet. Although a few South East Asian countries managed to establish in 1967 first successfully operating regional organization – ASEAN, real attempts for deepening regionalism and integration, including East Asian countries, appeared after the end of the Cold War. This study aims to outline Beijing, Tokyo, and Seoul’s basic views on development of East Asian integration and to analyze similarities and differences between them. The study also attempts to explain what really prevents East Asian countries to achieve comprehensive and effective integration of the region.
