Power is undoubtedly a politically intriguing phenomenon. However, mainly its socio-practical character makes power especially important from the educational point of view. Our thinking around the concept of power can be focused on its two types: 1. Asymmetrical conception of power containing elements of resistance and conflict, 2. Concepts of power as a collective potential. The institution of school using appropriate didactic strategies in an active way can support or block one of the two proposed concepts of power. By advocating for the concept of power as a collective potential, in this article the author proposes to consider a deliberative thinking procedure as an element of education influencing the understanding of the functioning of democracy. The main purpose of the article is to justify the thesis that applying the procedural model of justification in educational practice (see John Rawls) makes a significant contribution to students’ acquisition of thinking skills that support deliberative attitudes.

Рассматривается социокультурный подход как основание современного образования, ориентированного на личность в полноте ее культурно-воспроизводительной деятельности. Исследуется связь социокультурного подхода и музея, обусловливающая изменение образовательной деятельности последнего. Актуализируется проблема расширения образовательных возможностей музея, обострившаяся в условиях социальной необходимости поиска альтернативных методов взаимодействия с личностью. Обращение к социокультурному подходу как методологии деятельности музея позволяет изменить конфигурацию общения, в качестве цели обозначив включение в процесс коммуникации личность человека как равнозначного субъекта коммуникации наравне с культурой и социумом. В соответствии с запросом общества музейная коммуникация как метод сотрудничества с личностью в образовательной практике музея становится первостепенной. Анализ образовательной деятельности музея позволяет проследить влияние коммуникационных процессов, трансформирующих содержание, образовательную среду и результаты образования в музее, придавая им личностно значимые смыслы. Следовательно, присвоение личностью разнообразия социокультурного опыта становится ключевой задачей образовательной деятельности музея, что отвечает современной социокультурной ситуации. The article examines the sociocultural approach as the basis of modern education focused on the individual in the fullness of his cultural and reproductive activity. The relationship between the socio-cultural approach and the museum is investigated, which determines the change in the educational activity of the latter. In accordance with the demands of society, museum communication as a method of interaction with a person in the educational practice of the museum becomes paramount. Museum communication and the process of its transformation in the digital age is a key concept for studying the mechanisms of modernization of the educational activities of the museum. In turn, communicative processes transform the content and results of education in the museum, giving it personally meaningful meanings. The semantic field of the content of museum education becomes the basis for communication, and the museum visitor is a representative of one or another point of view on cultural phenomena. The museum, being at the junction of various sciences (pedagogy, psychology, museology, art history), sees its goal not so much in the expansion of knowledge, but in the development of the value apparatus, attitudes, and creative abilities of the individual. Consequently, the appropriation by an individual of the diversity of sociocultural experience becomes a key task of the educational activities of the museum.

Abstract The main motivation for this paper is that a negligible number of reforms in education systems, initiated all over the world, proved to be successful in terms of bringing desired results in promoting educational practice and its final goal - the promotion of students’ learning and knowledge. Regarding the education system and its reform a change of paradigm has recently happened. In some cases, changes were made gradually, whereas in other cases it was completely abandonment of treating them as complicated systems with simple interventions and solutions toward the recognition and respect of their true complex nature. So, this reviewed paper explores new insights and tools derived from the theory of complexity. They can help to better understand and navigate the education system and its reform. Becoming familiarised with methodological implications of viewing the education system and its reform as complex system is recommendation for different stakeholders included in education system, such as teachers, students, researchers, administrators and policy makers. Advance awareness of both urgency and opportunities of analysing and respecting the education system as a complex system would contribute to better understanding the essence of dynamic wholeness of education and, for sure, would provide desired results of educational reform. For all of us that means more successful coping with the world characterised by a growing number of complex systems with growing intensity.

Children's Learning

The Swedish preschool curriculum emphasizes children’s learning through play. This means that children’s learning in everyday practice is accomplished through a complex mixture of teacher-led activities and activities the children themselves initiate. When learning is viewed as situated and constituted through social interaction (Lave & Wenger, 1991), almost all social events have learning potential. Consequently, from an educational and a curriculum point of view it is important to raise the question of how children’s learning can be made visible, and determine what kind of learning children’s own initiated (play) activities imply. The focus of the paper is on children’s (aged 3-5 years) “communities of practice” at the computer during “free play” period in two various Swedish preschools settings. Events of peer interaction are analyzed in detail to illustrate what kind of learning activities are going on at the computer, and to discuss these events of potential learning in relation to the curriculum goals and the educational practice. From a curriculum point of view, the analyses show that the children’s activities at the computer involve a variety of events that might provides for learning that can be viewed as goal-oriented. From the children’s point of view, the project of socialization seems to be the most prominent goal. A crucial point for educational success, however, is to understand not only what the object of learning is, rather what motivates children’s play apprenticeship in their own “communities of practice”.

El presente trabajo expone el proceso de diseño, implementación y evaluación de la unidad didáctica «The Maze: Nosotros y ellos», elaborada por miembros del grupo de investigación DHiGeCs de la Universidad de Barcelona. Se trata de una aplicación basada en la Gamificación como estrategia didáctica y cuyos núcleos temáticos son la identidad y la diferencia, orientada a la asignatura de Ciencias Sociales y al trabajo de la competencia social y ciudadana. Su desarrollo ha requerido la reinterpretación de materiales históricos desde la óptica del juego, invitando a la reflexión y al debate sobre el «Nosotros y ellos», desde un punto de vista cohesionador, cívico y tolerante con la diversidad. Con el Learning Management System llamado Classcraft como recurso adicional, se han incorporado elementos de juego a las actividades propias de la práctica educativa, con los que el alumnado interactúa a través de avatares personalizados. El aprendizaje significativo que se consigue “dentro del laberinto” es destacable por la emoción y el entusiasmo de seguir las normas del juego. La investigación evaluativa realizada en diferentes centros de educación secundaria ha ofrecido unos resultados satisfactorios, destacando un incremento en la motivación y el compromiso, tanto por parte del alumnado como del profesorado implicado. The current work shows the design process, implementation and evaluation of the didactic unit "The Maze: Us and them", developed by members of the research group DHiGeCs of the Universidad de Barcelona. This is an implementation based on Gamification as a didactic strategy, whose thematic core are identity and difference, oriented to the Social Sciences subject and the work of social and civil competency. Its development has required to reinterpret historical materials from the point of view of the game, leading to think and debate about "Us and them", from a cohesive, tolerant with diversity and civic approach. With the Learning Management System called Classcraft as additional resource, game elements have complemented the educational practice activities, with which the students interact through personalized avatars.The significant learning acquired "inside the labyrinth" is remarkable by the excitement and enthusiasm to follow the rules of the game. The evaluation research carried out in different secondary schools has offered satisfactory results, highlighting an increase in motivation and commitment both by the students and the teachers involved.

Dominant Paradigm

This article first identifies and discusses four main causes of the crisis in educational research. These are summarized as false dualism, false primacy, false certainty and false expectations. False dualism is the apartheid that divides positivist and constructivist researchers with positivists believing in an objective reality and constructivists arguing that reality is a social construction. False primacy is the view that the positivist paradigm has come to dominate research to the detriment of more open, pluralistic and critically reflective approaches. False certainty is the argument that in an increasingly complex and uncertain world researchers have retreated to a reactionary position in order to shore up the dominant paradigm. False expectations is the case that governments, especially, are demanding more evidence-based research in order to provide urgent solutions to educational problems. The second part of the article shows how taking a pragmatic approach may help us resolve some of the difficulties identified. For example pragmatists would not privilege any one paradigm or methodology over another but would argue that both science and constructivism offer different sets of tools for investigating different aspects of the world. This also means that pragmatists see inquiry not as discovering what is really out there but as offering more or less useful descriptions to meet our particular needs and purposes. The third part of the article argues that pragmatism is not an alternative model of research but is more a working point of view or a perspective which is admittedly modest and, so pragmatists think, appropriately fuzzy. What a pragmatic approach to research actually leads to, through reflection, is a kind of useful if temporary equilibrium amongst the community of inquirers. Part of this approach is the rejection of the idea that scientific research can be used with certainty to specify educational practice. All it can provide is possible lines of action.

  La literatura científica constata la potencialidad que el conflicto puede generar en las aulas cuando se supera su sentido negativo y se inserta en el proceso educativo. Este planteamiento positivo del conflicto debiera ser asumido por los diferentes educadores de cualquier institución escolar para implementar programas alternativos a la violencia y enseñar a manejar los conflictos constructivamente. La Educación Física (EF) se presenta insólita para impulsar la gestión del conflicto en un espacio real de práctica y sobre un contexto de juego con equipos atacantes y defensores. Desde esta perspectiva, el objetivo principal del texto es mostrar una propuesta de enseñanza destinada a los últimos cursos de educación primaria. El desarrollo de la investigación, continuado en forma de tesis doctoral, se enmarca en un enfoque cuasiexperimental sobre un diseño de dos grupos (experimental y de control), desde una muestra de 130 participantes de dos colegios de Cullera (Valencia). El tratamiento (programa) se diseña desde la propia táctica del juego, y en su estructura queda incorporado el ‘conflicto colateral’, como fin didáctico, para aprender a gestionarlo entre sus miembros participantes. Sobre la práctica educativa, cabe reflejar que toma su origen de la enseñanza comprensiva; se fundamenta sobre un enfoque organizativamente participativo-colaborativo; y queda integrada en un escenario de cultura mediadora. Desde el ámbito de la EF escolar, se concluye que el método táctico-deportivo podría ser una alternativa para educar la gestión positiva del conflicto, posibilitando que el alumnado enfrentara las barreras de la comunicación y aprendiera a contrarrestar sus estereotipos destructivos.  Abstract. Scientific literature confirms the potential that conflict can generate in the classroom when its negative meaning is overcome and it is inserted into the educational process. This positive perspective to conflict should be assumed by the different educators of any school institution to implement alternative programs to violence and teach how to handle conflicts constructively. Physical Education (PE) is unusual to promote conflict management in a real practical space and in a game context with attacking and defending teams. From this point of view, the main goal of the text is to show a teaching proposal aimed at the last years of primary education. The research study, continued in the form of a doctoral thesis, is framed in a quasi-experimental method on a two-group design (experimental and control), from a sample of 130 participants from two schools in Cullera (Valencia). The treatment (program) is designed from the game's own tactic, and the ‘collateral conflict’ is incorporated into its structure, as a didactic purpose, to learn to manage it among its participating members. Regarding educational practice, it should be reflected that it takes its origin from comprehensive teaching; it is based on an organizational participatory-collaborative strategy; and is integrated into a setting of mediating culture. In the PE context, it is concluded that the tactical-sports method could be an alternative to educate positive conflict management, enabling students to face communication barriers and learn to counteract their destructive stereotypes.

Methods Of Analysis

The author of the article, considering the current sociocultural situation, finds it appropriate to use the intertextual approach to the analysis of literature within the literature classes that aims to penetrate deeply into the text. Due to identifying multi-level links with the cultural context, the given approach enriches the reader’s outlook, creates aesthetic taste, and provides cultural self-identification that is relevant to teaching literature. The purpose of the article is to show the use of dialog and hermeneutic methods of analysis as well as the game form of organizing a lesson within the framework of use of the intertextual approach and to prove the importance of this method in modern educational practice. To prove her point of view, the author offers a certain lesson model, including an intertextual game, which makes schoolchildren gradually develop the intertextual competence, including knowledge of precedent texts and the typology of intertextual links and intertextual elements; analytical skills associated with finding intertextual elements at different levels of text production, the implementation of associative links with other texts, understanding the author’s position; modes of action necessary to interpret the literature. The author’s scientific and methodical reflection is based on the discovery of the phenomenon of intertextuality, which includes the form-building and sense-forming functions of the text due to which there occurs a dialogue of various kinds of texts, interconnected in a broad cultural context. The author believes that in relation to the pragmatic educational situation in the field of studying literature in school, the experience of its systematic appeal to intertextuality as a universal text category with the use of dialog and hermeneutic methods of analysis and intertextual play, activating the cognitive and interpretive activities of schoolchildren, may be of interest to the language and literature teachers. The result of the article is a scientifically based point of view on the role of the intertextual approach to the analysis of a work of literature in the further development of the methodology, theory, and practice of modern methodical science.

RESUMEN La disciplina Estudios Literarios forma parte del currículo propio de la carrera Licenciatura en Educación Primaria que se estudia en las universidades de Cuba. Mediante esta disciplina se pretende acercar a los futuros maestros de la enseñanza primaria al mundo de la creación literaria, para que desarrollen habilidades de apreciación y análisis literario que les permitan la selección y estudio de textos con verdaderos valores éticos y estéticos, tanto para su recreación personal como para su labor pedagógica. El análisis histórico de dicha disciplina, el intercambio con profesores de diferentes centros universitarios del país que la han impartido y sus respectivos jefes, la observación de la práctica educativa y la propia experiencia de la autora como profesora de diferentes asignaturas literarias por más de 20 años, permitió constatar que no existe claridad por parte de los profesores que imparten las asignaturas literarias con relación a los fundamentos gnoseológicos, psicológicos y didácticos que intervienen en su enseñanza. En correspondencia con ello, la presente investigación tiene como propósito explicar dichos fundamentos, destacando leyes, principios, y conceptos en que se sustenta el estudio de una obra literaria, los procesos psíquicos fundamentales que intervienen en ellos y las etapas, desde el punto de vista didáctico, por el que transcurre.Palabras clave: Apreciación literaria, Enseñanza de la literatura, Análisis literario, Teoría literaria, Proceso docente educativo.Knowledge, psychological and didactic rationale of teaching literature ABSTRACT The Literary Studies discipline is part of the curriculum of the Bachelor’s Degree in Primary Education studied at universities in Cuba. This discipline is intended to bring future teachers of primary education to the world of literary creation developing skills for appreciation and literary analysis that allow selecting and studying texts with true ethical and aesthetic values, both for their personal recreation as for their pedagogical work. The historical analysis of this discipline, exchange with teachers from different university centers of the country that have taught it and their respective leaders, observation of the educational practice, and the author’s own experience as a teacher of different literary subjects for more than 20 years, have showed that teachers who teach literary subjects do not have clear concepts in relation to knowledge, psychological and didactic rationale intervening in their teaching. Correspondingly, the purpose of this research paper is to explain these rationale by highlighting laws, principles, and concepts that underlie the study of a literary work, the fundamental psychic processes involved in it, and, from the didactic point of view, the stages through which it takes place.Keywords: Literary appreciation, Teaching literature, Literary analysis, Literary theory, Teaching process.

The subject of the article is the problem of the discrepancy between the actual educational practice in schools and the official policy and declarations regarding shaping social and civic competences, characterized, inter alia, by the ability to cooperate. The aim of the article is to try to answer the question about the causes of weakening the ability to cooperate in the everyday functioning of people and institutions. The answer to this question is analyzed on the basis of the source texts of Richard Sennett, an American sociologist who devoted a lot of space to this problem in his works. In the first part of the article, the author describes the problem of the condition of modern man. In the second part, she presents the problems of changes taking place in today's world that cause the "corrosion of character" of human. In the third part, she discusses the issue of cooperation ritual and routine, which have the power to educate. The last part of the article, she presents an attempt to answer the question about what one needs / what one can to be changed in contemporary education, so that the development of competencies important from the point of view of functioning in the contemporary world has become an essential tool for education and upbringing.
