Autonarracja jako strategia negocjowania tożsamości w tekstach polskich migrantów przebywających w Wielkiej Brytanii i Irlandii po roku 2004

Author(s): Joanna Ślósarska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2016

The article explores the shaping of narrators’ polyphonic identities in texts produced by Polish migrants temporarily residing in the UK and Ireland. Examining dozens of works produced between 2004 and 2015, Ślósarska tackles identity in relation to the fundamental determinants of self-narrative strategies. Her methodology is rooted in symbolic interactionism, standard patterns of biographies, and self-narration as a way of understanding and interpreting the world. Her conclusions focus on the function of self-narration in reconstructing individual and ethnic identities by migrants looking for new patterns of adaptation in unstable existential situations; the axiologization of the new experiences is discussed in relation to ethnic cultural memory and to the social and family identity roles developed earlier in life.

Разрешаване на конфликтни ситуации в училище от учители медиатори

Author(s): Tatyana Dronzina,Biserka Mihaleva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2017

Life is too short to waste time, energy and stress in dragging the unresolved conflict – especially if it makes you suffer every day. Frequent clashes with violence in schools seem hopeless. Obviously, we can not approach in the same way, i.e. applying only disciplinary punishments and expect a different result. We need to use actual working instruments. Mediation is a powerful tool for resolving conflict situations in school. In school mediation that is also known as school intervention meetings are held in order to achieve mutually satisfying dispute resolution, supported by a neutral third party (mediator) in the cozy space of open dialogue and partnership. School mediation is an effective method for the so called “win-win” resolution of disputes, enabling both sides involved in the conflict to win and continue their relations, having mutual interest. It is possible to transform disputes by school mediation before they have occurred. It is also possible to transfer disagreements into creative energy. The article presents various conflict situations, real for Bulgarian school, and a way that they can be resolved by the teachers-mediators.

За диалога между педагозите в началното училище и специалистите, работещи в социално-педагогически институции

Author(s): Maria Dishkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2017

This text highlights an extremely important and serious problem, which concerns the whole development of contemporary students. The name of the problem is lack of dialogue and interaction between the educational and social-pedagogical institutions. It is a fact that today’s educational reality is very different and definitely needs special attention from the pedagogical theory and practice. In school and in the classrooms almost every day we have cases that require serious intervention from specialized social-pedagogical institutions. To be effective, this intervention must be adequate and in time. In specific situations, the teacher is not only completely powerless to respond, but could complicate the situation if acting unprofessional. The article cites a research, conducted for several years. The aim of the study was to confirm or deny the hypothesis that there is no interaction between the educational and social-pedagogical institutions. The research is made through a questionnaire designed for educators working in the field of primary education. The reasons for absence of such interaction could be found equally in both sides. On one hand, the school rarely asks for outside help. On the other hand, the social-pedagogical institutions do not always respond in time, or in the best way. It turns out that the “cold war” in the education of Bulgarian children exists not only between teachers and parents, but also at institutional level - between the capacities that carry professional responsibility for training, education and overall development of the younger generation. Educational interaction is an indispensable condition for achieving positive results in the implementation of these processes. The lack of educational cooperation will not only stop progress, but can cause serious damage in shaping the character.

За дългия път на етнологията до училището

Author(s): Violeta Koceva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2017

The article in general follows the path of ethnological science in Bulgaria in order to highlight the changes in the discipline at the level of university readings. In brief, the path of the discipline is presented from the bottom up - from the collection of cultural artifacts to the construction of the science as a university discipline. As a result, there is a breakdown of ethnology from the applied sphere. Today the experience of different institutions to bring ethnology back to the bottom of the educational process - primary and secondary education – is fact. Public and cultural dynamics impose a need for our own and foreign cultures to have a real effect in building a personal level of sense of self-dignity, initiating tolerant and empathic behavior. The shaping and codification of ethnology as a science results in this distance, and the return path is imposed by the new dynamics of social and cultural reality in Bulgaria.

Новите педагогически парадигми и взаимодействието с деца и родители в образованието

Author(s): Nely Boiadjieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2018

The leading ideas of contemporary pedagogical paradigm at the beginning of the new century are result from general changes in society, social structures, family types and partners interaction, the school and expectations towards its role in the process of interaction “children-parents-teachers”. The ways to reach it are in the non-contradictory realization that the real partnership interrelation and in the assimilation and controling of the art of peaceful (nonviolence, not aggressive) constructive communication. For this type of communication new skills are necessary, which all parties (children, parents, teachers) in the interaction have to assimilate and to develop together with common activities. Their roots are in altruism, empathy and love, which are an essence of the humanity and true humaneness in relationships. They are sustainable in the temple of knowledge – the school. This is the main conclusion from the analysis of the new pedagogical paradigm for interaction with children and parents in the education.
