<h1>Theoretical research on curriculum development and implementation has been a rich and highly diverse field of study in the second half of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st , including Estonia, but the selection of educational content for general comprehensive schools has not been a priority. Some reasons for difficulties with regard to making informed decisions about the selection of the content can be found in the constantly growing amount of new knowledge, global developments and in cultural differences within and between societies. The acknowledged political goal for organising general education for the majority of countries in Europe (and all over the world) has been the development of a cohesive and sustainable society, which can be built on acknowledged and accepted common values. Research on the potential of school subjects can contribute to that and open new vistas for development of national curricula.</h1>

The article is devoted to the analysis of the scientific and philosophical thought development, which served as a challenge to the renewal of the content of environmental education at the beginning of the XXI century. The analysis of the stages of domestic environmental education development, its content from the point of view of reflection in it of relations between society and nature is carried out. A new stage in the environmental education development in the 21st century is associated with the spread of ideas of sustainable development, which determine the transformation of all spheres of human culture. The article provides examples of tasks that currently exist in the educational literature for one of the primary school subjects, and a variant of their change from the standpoint of environmental education in the interests of sustainable development is proposed. The modern literature on the methodology of teaching the subject “The World Around” in primary school is considered from the point of view of the representation of the content of environmental education in it. The author comes to the conclusion about the insufficiency of the natural science orientation of environmental education for the formation of students’ ideas about the environmental imperative – a key category for understanding the conditions for harmonizing nature, society and the world of things. Based on the analysis performed, a conclusion was made about the relevance of updating the content of school environmental education. It is substantiated that this will contribute to the achievement of its planned result – the formation of a modern ecological culture among students. Keywords: general education, environmental education, educational content, environmental imperative, environmental culture

Abstract In the article, the concept of landscape maps by Franciszek Uhorczak (1902–1981), Professor of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, was discussed. The maps constitute a cartographic illustration of volume III, IV and V of “Universal Geography” edited by Państwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe (the National Scientific Publishing House) (Warsaw 1965–1967) – the first Polish small-scale landscape maps of the world. From the perspective of the 50s, an attempt was undertaken to assess the editorial assumptions, landscape typology and selection of cartographic means used by the author, paying special attention to the selection of colours representing landscapes. Also, issues raising controversies related to the degree of generalization of particular elements of the content, typology of landscapes as well as map details were indicated. The performed analysis leads to the conclusion that landscape maps by Professor F. Uhorczak constituted one of the most significant achievements of Polish thematic cartography of the 20th century, and they are an unequaled model also for the contemporary cartographers.

The report examines the possibility of understanding and awareness of a topic in any lesson in general education school, finding common ground with different aspects of knowledge. In this way, students perceive the new knowledge more fully and from different points of view. Their interest in searching for a new information and connecting it with the available information received in classes in various subjects, as well as from independent sources, is aroused. Thus, the students are motivated to look for new ways to perceive the entity, as well as to understand its place in the world. They gain flexibility and skills for learning and applying knowledge.

If there were no problems in the teaching of mathematics; if all methods of procedure had been perfectly worked out; if all desirable applications of mathematics were known; if all teachers had been chosen with the greatest skill and had become accomplished artists; if all children had been created with a uniform mental, emotional, moral, and social pattern; if the relative importance of all school subjects had been exactly determined; if the world in which mathematics is used would remain static, then there would be little need of a National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and Reports would be undesired luxuries.

Summary This article is concerned with some 20th-century women’s autobiographies whose authors do not play according to the rules of the genological model of autobiography and even go round its fundamental assumption that the autobiographical pact between writer and reader is impossible outside the conventional diary narrative. The three memoirs discussed in the article (written by Bronisława Ostrowska Grabska, Zuzanna Rabska, and by the poetic duo of Maryla Wolska and Beata Obertyńska) exhibit a freshness and unconventionality which make them perfect examples of Jennifer A. Gonzáles’s subgenre of ‘autotopography’. Organized round eye-catching random objects that generate a non-linear, non-sequential string of personal, or even intimate stories, they show that the true potential of women’s memoirs lies in their chequered, heterogeneous forms that can produce a seamless blend of the physical world and the world of words.

The final decade of the 20th century was the most important period yet in establishing a sustainable society for the coming century. After the Earth summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, the world's population was challenged to decrease its environmental impact on the Earth. Nine years after the Rio summit, we are living in a more dangerous and unsustainable world with a higher population, more resource consumption, more waste, and more poverty, but with less biodiversity, less forest area, less available fresh water, less fertile soil, and less stratospheric ozone.

The world has been going through the process of economical, political and cultural integration for a long time. At the end of the 20th century, the integration received a new meaning. In the world?s policy, sovereign countries were in conflict or collaborated earlier. A stricter hierarchy of economical and political power hubs is being established now. In such processes of globalization, differences in development, wealth and power arise, people are less safe, the sovereignity of national states is being violated. The story of equality remains in the sense of disappearance of cultural differences in floods of non-cultural culture. It is difficult to talk about democracy when the world?s power is getting stronger and stronger. Is it possible to have a globalization which would not affect human rights, and which would not prevent people from taking care of truth, freedom and happiness?

The second decade of the 21st century is characterized throughout the world by keen interest of general public in school informatics courses. It is due both to natural interest of children in everything digital in context of modern world, position of parents who believe that informatics has huge importance for the future career of their children, and to pressure of professional associations, businesses, universities concerned about status and content of school informatics courses.The research discusses the historical aspects of formation and development of the national school informatics course, modern approaches to the formulation of its purposes and the selection of content. The purpose of the research is to identify and compare the main trends in the development of school informatics in Russia and in the world, to determine on this basis the possibilities of developing the methodical system of teaching informatics.The results of the research led to the conclusion that Russia has been and still remain one of the world leaders in the field of general education in informatics: in our schools since 1985 to the present day there has been compulsory study of informatics, and the fundamental component occupies an important place in the content of the informatics course. Three key trends in the development of school informatics abroad have been identified: strengthening of fundamentality, compulsory, continuity. It is revealed that abroad priority attention is paid to the use of potential of informatics for the development and formation of computational (computer) thinking of younger schoolchildren. Introduction of compulsory informatics education in the early stages of general education is defined as a strategic direction for the development of Russian school informatics course.

The article is devoted to the analysis of functional mechanisms of persuasive speech formulas, namely, linguoculturemes (ethnic, cultural stereotypes, mythologemes, and precedent phenomena) in the defensive speeches of Ukrainian lawyers in Galicia in the beginning of 20th century. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the interaction between historical, political and sociocultural factors and strategies of linguoculturemes’ usage. The phenomenon of the rhetorical scheme is analyzed from the standpoint of extralinguistic context. The rhetorical scheme is considered as a set of rhetorical communicative instruments by which the speaker relays his own rhetorical picture of the world in order to influence the common socio-cultural communicative space. Linguoculturemes are described as essential media of historical, political, and cultural discourse in persuasive speeches. The main strategies of communicative formulas in defensive speeches of Ukrainian barristers of Galicia are analyzed. The strategy of selection of linguoculturemes was in keeping with the traditions of the Austro-Hungarian judiciary but also the desire to establish Ukrainian national identity. All precedent phenomena were used due to the imperial model of the world and achievements of the Polish people. However, at the beginning of the twentieth century, under the imperial regime, attempts to form a rhetorical scheme of defensive speeches focused on Ukrainian values and statehood can be noticed. The article considers the essence of defensive speech as an example of the official communication linked to social context in two ways: the extralinguistic conditions affect the speech structure, and the speaker, in turn, selects certain communicative formulas (linguoculturemes) to establish the linguocultural identity. The future tendencies of Ukrainian judicial rhetoric are the improvement of the communicative skills of the lawyers-rhetoricians, the rejection of Russian legal stamps, and the reactivation of traditional Ukrainian linguoculturemes.
