Author(s): Sarah Crinall,Edith Crinall Rowbottom,Xanthia Patricia Mariana Blom / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2020

We have heard the warming planet’s calls for sustaining rhythms through many events. COVID-19 is one such song. We have returned home with our families to our places in a mandated ‘lockdown’. Competitive economics are troubled, and trouble our world with unsustaining patterns. An urgent, convergent conversation about how ‘we’ (writers entwining) might touch on sustenance more begins between our two families. The children amongst us want to thread into these convolutions too.

A Research on Schools as Learning Organizations: A Theoretical Approach

Author(s): Gabriela Alina Paraschiva,Anca Draghici,Constanţa-Valentina Mihăilă / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

Due to the growing pressures on the educational area to provide young people with the knowledge and skills needed to live and work in a constantly changing society and the technologies and trades that today do not exist, the model of learning organization has been extended to schools, as an attempt to re-conceptualize them from organizations that are traditionally linked to the learning and knowledge process to organizations that are capable of responding with efficiency to uncertain and dynamic environments. The purpose of this paper is to identify the state of affairs in the Romanian educational system (pre-university level) in order to provide a starting point for the implementation of the ‘school as a learning organization’ concept and model. The approach is theoretical, using desk research of regulations and data regarding the public expenditure in education, per capita funding, number of pupils enrolled, PISA results and correlations between the action-oriented dimensions (including their key characteristics/elements) of the model proposed by Kools & Stoll (2017) and the performance indicators (including descriptors) that are used at the Romanian national level. Results show that, between 2009 and 2018, school organizations were under increasing pressure and the implementation of this concept and model at system level could be an opportunity to focus on students from the organizational side, having the determined correlations as a foundation.

Author(s): Laura Kirss,Ülle Säälik,Margus Pedaste,Äli Leijen / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

As a result of the intensification and diversification of migration processes, education decision-makers across the globe find themselves facing issues of multilingual education. Coupled with demands for inclusive education for all children, education professionals, especially school leaders, are challenged with finding the best solutions possible. Moreover, school leaders lack useful evaluation tools for reviewing or revising multilingual education in the turbulent times. Stemming from the practical need for assistance in the adaptation process and the gap in research, this article proposes a new synthesized conceptual framework for analysing and evaluating the current status and characteristics of multilingual education. Firstly, the article reviews the available approaches to multilingual education and provides an analysis of them. Secondly, based on the synthesis of results, an elaborated conceptual framework in the format of a guidance tool is introduced to assist school leaders in their work with multilingual education.

Academic E-learning in Poland Results of a Diagnostic Survey

Author(s): Izabela Maleńczyk,Bartlomiej Gładysz / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Academic e-learning is not a new phenomenon world-wide or in Poland. However, there are only a few publications examining academic e-learning in Poland from a wider perspective (i.e., country-wide, and not only from that of the specific course, faculty member, or university orientation), and none of them present complex analysis and diagnosis. The goal of this paper is to present an investigation of academic e-learning in Poland in both public and private universities. The sample of 139 universities was surveyed, and relations between variables – such as e-learning process characteristics and university characteristics – were analysed via hypotheses testing. Results of the survey may constitute a basis for comparison on a national and international level and offer strategic directions for university authorities.

Activisms on the Margins: Capacity Assessment in Ten Selected Women’s Organisations

Author(s): Amila Ždralović,Zlatiborka Popov Momčinović / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2019

Various studies indicate that women have accomplished their engagement in the public sphere predominantly via the civil society and the prosaically named ‘third sector’. According to some data, women’s representation in the civil society is in reverse proportion to their representation in the domain of formal politics. This is sometimes interpreted in the context of ethics of care, which interprets engagementin the public domain as an extension of housework, but also the fact that civil society offers more freedom and autonomy than formal politics. In the context of feminism in both theory and practice, the latter is often emphasised and encouraged. Despite this, this aspect should not be idealised, particularly if we consider that the civil society is a provider of services not provided by a dysfunctional state.

Afganistan’da ve Türkiye’de Yükseköğretimde Din Eğitiminin Karşılaştırılması

Author(s): Humayun Begzad,Hasan Dam / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 64/2019

Religion is an important factor that influences and shapes the moral values, history, political, social and cultural structures of a society. After having accepted the religion of Islam, Afghanistan made important developments in the field of science and lore. However, due to the never-ending war, scientific developments could not be sustained and have even lagged behind. Especially since Afghanistan has been at war for the last quarter of a century, the education system has seen considerable losses both quantitatively and qualitatively. Educating its generations according to the fundamental principles of Islam is a top priority of the general objectives of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education of Afghanistan. In this context, religious education courses are taught as mandatory from primary level to all higher levels in all the educational institutions of Afghanistan. After the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, the "Law on Unity of Education"[Tevhid-i-Tedrisat] that had been adopted on the 3rd of March 1924 to unify the education system brought about a number of regulations in the field of religious education. In the past 25 years, religious education has undergone major improvements in spite of the fact that religious education in Turkey was hampered in some periods. While religious education courses at primary level are included as either optional or compulsory among other courses, religious courses falling under different departments such as International Islamic and Religious Sciences and Islamic Sciences Faculty alongside the Theology Faculties, are also being offered.

Against Theory: Selected “Girlhood” Feminist Artistic Practices in Poland

Author(s): Karolina Sikorska,Marta Kosińska / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

The mass public protests against introduction of further limitations on women’s reproductive rights in 2016 become important moment for the Polish feminist movement. Yet, the movement’s structure and semiotic reservoir of justifications has visibly changed in the recent years. The young Polish feminism has become more “girlish” than “womanly”. In our paper, we analyze how the “girlhood” artistic practices fit into the renewal of contemporary reflection on the gender roles of women and the Polish feminist movement. We analyzed practices of young Polish activists, involved in girlhood-feminist collectives, and compared their cultural tactics with those of selfie feminism. The paper focuses on girlhood practices as activities which take place across the individual and collective divide and redefine the public sphere. Demonstrating how these initiatives negotiate the normative cultural system, we present expressions of the girlhood experience and describe its social and structural conditions. We analyze feminist artistic practices as expressible and language-based feminine emancipatory practices, using tools typical of analysis of discourse and, predominantly, linguistic performance.

Author(s): Grażyna Leśniak-Łebkowska / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Forecasting the future trends in any area becomes more and more frustrating in view of the accelerating pace of change in all components of reality resulting with unprecedented complexity of possible impacts. Hard times call for not standardized solution of how to stay accountable for numerous stakeholders in business roadmap to the future when the value of traditional management theories and concepts in turbulent environment is undermined and performance endangered. The common rationality brings two practical solutions: building resistance to shocks and agility to take advantage of perceived opportunities and available resources. When interviewing managers on their strategic imagination and trust factors one can find too limited perspectives, reduced creativity and real capability to respond to problems on time. This paper is aimed at showing the role of soft factors such as social capital and trust, as the base for meaningful moves allowing for integrated actions. To properly address the future challenges and use the proper tools in defining goals, strategies and execution a whole new set of management competences are needed as well as new forms of managerial education with more teambased business-driven action learning and design thinking.

Aktivizmi s margina: procjena kapaciteta deset odabranih ženskih organizacija

Author(s): Amila Ždralović,Zlatiborka Popov Momčinović / Language(s): Bosnian / Publication Year: 2019

Kao što različita istraživanja ukazuju, žene su svoj angažman u javnoj sferi Bosne i Hercegovine velikim dijelom ostvarile upravo kroz civilno društvo i prozaični termin treći sektor. Prema nekim podacima, zastupljenost žena u civilnom društvu je obrnuto proporcionalna njihovoj zastupljenosti u sferi formalne politike. To se nekad tumači u kontekstu tzv. etike brige na osnovu koje se angažman u javnoj sferi tumači kao produženi rad u kući, ali i činjenice da u civilnom društvu ima više slobode i autonomije u odnosu na formalnu politiku. U kontekstu feminizma kao teorije i prakse, ovaj drugi segment se često naglašava i podstiče. Uprkos tome, ovaj aspekt ne treba idealizovati, posebno ako imamo u vidu da civilno društvo služi kao servis za pružanje usluga koje neispunjava disfunkcionalna država. To je posebno simptomatično kada je riječ o određenim kategorijama žena koje se često imenuju kao dvostruko marginalizovane i u koju spadaju žene sa sela tj. iz ruralnih zajednica, potom žene koje su preživjele nasilje, Romkinje, žene s invaliditetom odnosno majke djece s poteškoćama u razvoju i povratnice.

Alert – kryzys – przewrót. Głos w sprawie edukacji literackiej

Author(s): Marta Rusek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2019

This article is devoted to the presentation of phenomena that currently determine the role of required reading at school. It consists of three parts. The first describes the process of the decline in readership among students and the problem of growing criticism of works of literature that were previously considered as indisputably belonging to the canon. The second part concerns the reading crisis and the factors behind it – alongside the change in cultural practices special emphasis is placed here on the issue of the rapid growth of linguistic and social strangeness of older texts, their accelerated “aging.” In turn, part three proposes solutions that could turn literary education into reading as an existentially important experience.

Author(s): Yousef Methkal Abd Algani,Jamal Eshan,Nassreen Ishan-Younis,Amer Haj / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

The present study examines the teachers’ attitudes and feelings concerning the issue of violence in Arab schools in Israel, the teachers’ reactions towards that issue and ways of expressing them. The choice to focus on teachers’ attitudes and feelings towards violent behavior patterns, which is of paramount importance, must be taken into account when accessing the issue of school violence and ways of dealing with that. The researchers adopted the qualitative approach. The findings of the interviews are divided into five main categories: lack of learning, alienation and low emotional appreciation, lack of strategies and methods of intervention of the educational staff, which receive inappropriate relating at school, as well as personal and family factors, which lead toward violence. The importance of the study stems from the increase in the violence rate in the Arab sector in Israel.

Author(s): Nerijus Pipiras / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 4/2019

Archbishop Mečislovas Reinys is one of the most prominent personalities. He paid much attention to personality development. According to him, multidisciplinary education is very important, where a person’s personality can unfold. The Archbishop was admired by Don Bosco’s ideas to make the school a community. This is important nowadays when the school’s threshold goes beyond personality with a variety of life experiences. Consequently, it must appear as one of the most important factors in education, to be a moral and valuable core, which is not differ from life.
