The Moral Education Of Children And Youth From A Pedagogical Retrospective

Author(s): Marianna Marusynets,Zoriana Vakolia,Inna Romanivna Perepeliuk / Language(s): English Issue: 12/2019

Contemporary educational science is actively seeking ways in which it is possible for the growing personality to consciously absorb basic principles of high morale where national and universal human values would be equally combined. The latter serve as guidelines determining the subject of interaction between educators and pupils. In this respect, cooperative pedagogy with its methodology comes into the picture. It involves mutual respect, equality, sociability – all the attributes of the subject-to-subject interaction oriented towards the maximum activity of educators as well as pupils.It brings about a change in the traditional approach to essence, methods and forms used in the educational process. Its ultimate goal has to consist not only in pupils` understanding of a profound meaning hidden in moral values – it is more about moral act commitment through actions, words and feelings. Only such an educational strategy leads to the result when pupils embrace social and natural environment and become true patriots of their country.

HUMAN TRENDS, ESSENTIAL FACTOR IN EDUCATION

Author(s): Elena ȘTEFĂNIU / Language(s): English Issue: 13/2020

From the point of view of Maria Montessori, adaptation is the well-being and serenity that offers the child the inner balance. From this perspective, the Montessorian strategy relies on education based on the nature of the child and his needs in the environment, so that he understands his role in the world.Human development is always accompanied by human, physical and spiritual needs: food, protection, security and love.Children need their own experiences to better understand and value what surrounds them, the environment.The adult must provide appropriate support to the child in the second development plan, of the rational spirit.In order to meet his needs, man is led by certain creative energies. These give it a strong impetus to explore the environment and to deeply exploit its being. Thanks to them and the inner will to be active, the child benefits from this opportunity and adapts to any society. These impulses are human tendencies.

FACULTY CHOICE: ASPECTS THAT INFLUENCE YOUNG PEOPLE

Author(s): Elena Sestac / Language(s): English Issue: 13/2020

Every year, thousands of young people are forced to choose a faculty, which is expected to develop professionally, intellectually and personally. Unfortunately, this election is not given the necessary importance, because it is perceived as a simple decision, without complications and without taking into account the repercussions that may exist in the future. The misinformation, the creation of the imaginary and the confusion they may face when choosing a career are examples of the problems that young people face.The present study aims to identify whether family, economic and aptitude aspects have occurred, so that the young student has chosen his career and to what extent it has influenced. Developed by qualitative methodology, this research aims to provide information on career choice. The research was carried out in a student dormitory questioning different students from various faculties.The results showed that the family aspect had a great influence on the participants, being placed on the first place of the studied aspects, and from an economic point of view, an influence was also observed in the choice of career, the aptitude did not have a great relevance in the results obtained.

Evaluation during the Romanian Language and Literature Class in Middle School Application – “Contest” Evaluation Lesson

Author(s): Andreea Diaconu / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2015

Evaluation during the Romanian Language and Literature Class in Middle SchoolApplication – “Contest” Evaluation LessonDIACONU Andreea“Ștefan cel Mare” University of SuceavaE-mail: cretu.andreea87@yahoo.comReceived 13.02.2015; Accepted 20.02. 2015AbstractIn this paper, I have tried to approach teaching assessment methods and its specific procedures, as an important part of the educational process, for two reasons that have concerned me since the beginning of my teaching career. The first reason is the desire to explore, understand, and put into practice the evaluation process in middle school as fair as possible, the second reason being the desire to help students exceed their fears regarding evaluation, so that they perceive this stage as a crowning of their work and endeavor.On these lines, the research methods have constituted the first part of the paper, and in the second part, as case study I have used the “school contest” method during an evaluation and probation of knowledge lesson.The purpose of this paper is to generally review all the characteristics of this stage, because evaluation is a complicated process of the educational system and quite a controversial one. Hence, in the second chapter, I have firstly focused on highlighting some of the essential theoretical aspects of evaluation and, secondly, I have tried to approach the importance of teaching-learning-evaluation triad during the Romanian language and literature lessons. Last but not least, the third chapter encompasses a general overview of the specific methods of evaluation for middle school during the Romanian language and literature classes and the presentation of the evaluation and probation of knowledge, all of which being necessary in order to observe the means through which evaluation can be applied to this discipline.Towards the end of this paper, as an example, I have chosen to present the consecution of an evaluation and probation of knowledge lesson as a schoolcontest for the eighth grade. By choosing this particular method, I have intended to change the students’ understanding of the least pleasant stage of the teaching process, evaluation.

Economic “malaise” and the state of the present society

Author(s): Alexandru Trifu / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2015

The present paper is dealing with a term which is intrinsic to our day-to-day life: malaise. And, exactly as in the case of stress, is a state determined by the people, employees and, in the double sense, the impact and the challenges of the business and natural environments on the activities and living standard of the people. Starting from the basic ideas of J. M. Keynes and P. A. Samuelson in this respect, we intend to underline the fact that malaise (and its main form “economic malaise”) is closely linked to less favorable or negative aspects from the people life and activities within entities and communities. We are referring to Depression periods or uncertain future evolutions.This term was spread in specialty literature, so we find assessments about almost all major national economies and even world economy. Different negative aspects of the society (economy) such as crisis, unemployment, debts, support the existence of malaise. In a word, malaise is a state of fact, intrinsic to the people and communities activities, but not in a manner as globalization (which also determines malaise), seen as a mantra, or repeatedly regarding everything is happen now at the local and international levels.

Didactic competencies and didactic objectives

Author(s): Aurica SOFIAN / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2015

In this paper, we aim to highlight the fundamental characteristics of the didactic competencies, on the one hand, and of the didactic objectives, on the other hand, so that their role mainly regards the optimization of the learning-assessment process. We also aim to outline the fact that these components are a key element within the learning process since they enable the streamlining of the learning, assessment and teaching process. Therefore, in terms of the instructional design, the didactic competencies and the didactic objectives are important components, which aim to affirm the success of a teaching-learning-assessment activity.

Author(s): Dobrinka Georgieva,Maya Tcholakova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2020

At a time when higher education is modernizing and becoming more dependent on technology, the paradigm of master's degree in allied health specialties such as speech-language pathology (SLP) and social work (SW) requires decisive and urgent change. The development of information technologies prompts revisioning the preparation of distance education (DE) curricula in these health disciplines. Allied health professions, including SLP and SW, need to develop knowledge, skills, and competencies in graduate student education. This article presents a theoretical overview and subsequent analysis of the existing paradigm in a number of countries, focusing on the role of evidence-based practice (EBP) in the implementation of DE at the master's degree level.

Kinetic methods in the recovery of patients with dorsal kyphosis

Author(s): Doina Buzduga / Language(s): English Issue: 9/2018

Kyphosis is the highlight of the physiological curvature of the spine in the chest region with a curve greater than 50 degrees. The objectives of this paper were the description of the disease, the presentation of the treatment methods, the periodic examination of how the applied recovery program influences the quality of life of the patient as well as the statistical modeling of the obtained results, in order to highlight the degree of effectiveness and the effects of the applied methods.The present study was performed on nine subjects aged between 9 and 17 years, where a specific recovery program was applied, individualized according to needs and requirements for each subject, pursuing the same objectives. Subjects were evaluated periodically at the beginning of treatment, at the end and then at a subsequent check.In order to highlight the degree of efficiency, as well as the effects of this recovery program on the patients with kyphosis, the resulting values were statistically modeled. Following the evaluation of the diagrams, the differences between the values that appear over time were identified. At large, the differences were found in the positive sense, thus highlighting the effectiveness of the recovery program. At control the results were variable depending on the patient's determination, so in three of the cases there were slight aggravations of the situation, but nevertheless in all in the cases there were improvements of the disease during the treatment.

Conservative treatment in patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis

Author(s): Larisa Lenuța Cîrdei / Language(s): English Issue: 9/2018

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a common disorder in middle-aged and elderly patients that results from narrowing of the neural canal and foramina, from congenital or degenerative causes. This narrowing leads to co-compression of the lumbosacral nerve root.Most patients with symptomatic lumbar stenosis have intermittent neurogenic claudication with decreased risk. However, although the physical findings and clinical symptoms of lumbar stenosis are not acute, radiographic findings are relatively severe. Magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive and good method for the evaluation of lumbar stenosis. Although there are very few studies that refer to the natural progression of lumbar stenosis, its symptoms respond favorably to nonoperative management. In patients who do not respond to non-operative treatment, surgical treatments, such as decompression or decompression with spinal fusion, are required.
