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.

Author(s): Maria-Magdalena Cardis / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

Unlike the previous regulation, in the current Code of Civil Procedure there are de facto rules that should give a solution to the situation in which the child refuses to leave the debtor, even if he was entrusted with a decision of the court to another person. . However, the effect of the rules in question is uncertain and the legal mechanism is inconsistent, despite the fact that it is supposed to work in compliance with the principle of the superior interest of the child. The present article does not aim to provide an absolute solution regarding how to proceed in this situation, but only to analyse some issues that have virtually no solution, as well as how they could have a positive effects, based on the existing legislation, starting from the premise observance of the principle of the best interests of the child.

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.

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.

The reform must make sense to school directors, teachers, students and families of students across Kosovo. It must start from where Kosovo is today.

Confucius Institutes as a Tool for Promoting China’s Interests

Author(s): Marcin Przychodniak / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2018

Confucius Institutes (CI), established at universities outside China, are intended to promote a positive image of the country in the world. CI branches are becoming an integral part of the establishments at which they operate, so the universities are in part responsible for the content disseminated by CI. CI branches are not allowed to present topics controversial from China’s perspective. Most universities accept this, because Confucius Institutes allow them to expand their educational offer. However, some establishments, for example in the U.S. and Sweden, have acknowledged that CI activity is at variance with their mission and cancelled contracts with their Chinese partner. Following these examples, Polish institutes of higher education should evaluate their own cooperation with Confucius Institutes.

Author(s): Çare TUFANER / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 46/2020

The concept of value belongs to human. People form, develop, implement and teach these values in line with the society they live in, their understanding of morality, beliefs and traditions and also how they design the future for their generations to come. Considering from this perspective, one can encounter a few dimensions of the concept of value: universal values, national values, moral values, cultural values, and religious values etc. Among these types of values, the one which is not in conflict with basic human values and can’t be depicted to the local narrowing but at the same time based on the societal practices and future design of a specific society is called National Values. The Republic period of Turkey accepts Turkish National values as an upper identity and starts imprinting them in art, literature and specifically in novels. The family institution manifests itself as the most basic of the social units that make up the society, in this respect, the establishment, development and solidification of the family will mean the well-grown and healthy structure of society. This article examines the printed story books in the period between 1935 and 1950, to observe the effects of the newly established political and social state order on the family institution.

CURIOSITY IN HISTORY OF EDUCATION

Author(s): Dragoş Grigorescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

Despite the diversification of research topics in education, curiosity remained an occasional concern. The origin of the philosophy is in wonder and curiosity, as the Greek thinkers said, but nothing prevents us from considering the same beginning for education. It is sufficient to list the basic concepts of pedagogy such as teaching, learning, cognitive development, knowledge, curriculum, to see that all aesthetics postulate as a justification a native curiosity prior to the students. Often Greeks understood education as a need inherent in the human being, and the completion of it as a personal moral duty of each of us. And yet curiosity is not a career topic in the education sciences or psychology either. With a few exceptions, which we will highlight in the following. The purpose of this paper is to bring to the attention of educators the immense potential of curiosity, both for a better understanding of education and for increasing the efficiency of the teaching act itself, in the classroom, in the teacher-student relationship. For this we propose first a philosophical legitimation of curiosity as it appears in Aristotle, after which we will continue with a second section dedicated to the biological bases of curiosity, at least as they result from the ethological perspective, so that finally we can analyze curiosity as a theme. of rigorous empirical research conducted by the father of curiosity, D. Berlyne.

Dělání a oddělávání genderu. Inkonzistentní volby školy u patnáctiletých dívek a chlapců

Author(s): Kateřina Lišková / Language(s): Czech / Publication Year: 0

Lidé dělají ve svém životě genderované volby. Mezi ty nejdůležitější patří zcela jistě volba vzdělání a následně povolání. Ze statistických dat je zřejmé, že ženy volí „ženská“ povolání (kadeřnice, sekretářka, učitelka na základní škole), muži „mužská“ (automechanik, stavař, ekonom-manažer). Lidé se tedy většinou rozhodnou pro povolání typické, genderově příslušné. Struktura vzdělávacích oborů je genderovaná, a je to právě tato horizontální genderovanost, která zakládá oborovou segmentaci pracovního trhu, a je to právě segmentace tzv. feminizovaných povolání, která zapříčiňuje nižší výdělky a nižší status žen na trhu práce (Valentová, Šmídová a Katrňák ve třetí kapitole této knihy). Genderově konzistentní volby můžeme sledovat přinejmenším od ukončení povinné školní docházky, jak ukázal i náš výzkum. Převládající konzistence lze vysvětlit prostřednictvím sociální strukturovanosti, v níž se aspirace aktérů přizpůsobují možnostem: lidé chtějí (právě jen) to, co mohou získat; „naděje se přizpůsobují vyhlídkám, aspirace možnostem“ (Bourdieu 2000a: 57). Podle Bourdieuho se v důsledku strukturovaných voleb reprodukuje sociální řád neboli status quo; strukturované volby vedou navíc ke spokojenosti sociálních aktérů, protože skrze ně dosáhli (právě jen) na to, nač aspirovali.
