The authors analyse macro-level political decisions across various societies as well as individual actions and experiences to advocate for a more inclusive and effective education system capable of driving social change. They consider relationships between politics, education and social change – in various contexts and dimensions. The macro level of educational policy (and politics) is confronted with the micro realities of human biographies. However, the authors do not consider people who are influenced by political decisions as incapacitated "mass". Thus, social change always results from these macro-micro connections. This interdisciplinary book includes themes related to political sciences, education, and sociology, which resulted from the authors' study of contemporary social and education phenomena. It gives insight into interesting paradoxes and controversies.
The societies of the twenty-first century are subject to social, cultural, political, and economic changes. In this context, the school is asked to educate the future citizens in the present. To respond to this kaleidoscopic reality, the school is immersed in a pedagogical revolution. In this book, the reader will find a selection of avant-garde research works from different disciplines and contexts, which have their epicenter in the school and in the faculties of education. New issues in pedagogy and education, and new roles of teachers and students, are discussed in a global and diverse context. And new methodological and formative proposals are also proposed to build the ideal school and the ideal teacher, from the initial and continuous teacher training.
This volume represents the result of cooperation between representatives of different academic disciplines, particularly researchers dealing with multiculturalism, cross-cultural education, civil education, penitentiary pedagogy in the context of global and European cultural and demographic transformations, and ethnopedagogues, sociologists and historians. The contributors here are united by a common interest in cross-border interpretations of cultural differences within pedagogical and social discourse. As such, the book presents in-depth and versatile reflections on the current ways of conceptualising multiculturalism as expressed across Europe. Each chapter includes a conclusion indicatin...

In Polish and Czech pedagogy, there have not been many studies on the social, cultural and educational functioning of academic youth in a culturally diversified environment. The analysis of identity behaviours presented by university students from the Polish-Czech borderland and of their learning potentialities will provide a chance for mutual recognition, understanding and the enrichment of both cultures – along with providing a chance for cultural sensitization. Due to the applied culturalization attitudes, this will also enhance the participation in the culture of the neighbouring country and the shortening of cultural distance. Such studies are also associated with a reflection upon the way in which a contemporary human understands cultural dimensions, the role they play in human life and the scope in which they shape the individual’s own and their social/cultural identity.
Plunka argues that drama is the ideal art form to revitalize the collective memory of Holocaust resistance. This comparative drama study examines a variety of international plays - some quite well-known, others more obscure - that focus on collective or individual defiance of the Nazis.
The monograph has an original, interesting and correct structure that includes a comparative analysis of selected aspects of traditional education in the context of historical and modern digital media education. The cognitively important results of empirical research on phenomena and processes present in the education of both countries, learning projects and teachers’ roles in contemporary education as well as their competencies in the use of digital media demonstrate the evolution of technology. Furthermore, they indicate the shape and contents of future education, which will be focused on the use of computers, computer networks and social media. The book can encourage its readers to refl...
Niniejszy tom prezentuje sposób myślenia o praktykach pedagogicznych jako o integralnej części profesjonalnego przygotowania nauczycieli do pracy. O jego strukturze zadecydowały obszary, którym Autorzy nadali szczególne znaczenie i w obrębie których toczyły się naukowe dyskusje. Pierwsza część publikacji zawiera opracowania dotyczące teoretycznych podstaw praktyk pedagogicznych w kontekście modelu edukacji nauczyciela oraz refleksje na temat znaczenia praktyk pedagogicznych dla budowania postawy nauczyciela – świadomego profesjonalisty. Teksty zamieszczone w drugiej części prezentują przykłady rozwiązań stosowanych w praktykach pedagogicznych w kontekście kształtowania/doskonalenia kompetencji nauczycieli wczesnej edukacji. W trzeciej części tomu Autorzy skoncentrowali się na ukazaniu praktyk pedagogicznych z perspektywy ich uczestników: studentów-praktykantów i nauczycieli.
Marcin Wiatr leistet einen Beitrag zur Rekonstruktion, aber auch zur Versachlichung und Weiterentwicklung des seit 1989 in Polen geführten bildungspolitischen Diskurses über die Aufarbeitung und Aneignung des deutschen Kulturerbes. Im Zentrum des Projektes steht »Oberschlesien« – einerseits als Gegenstand einer erinnerungspolitischen Untersuchung, andererseits als Schauplatz virulenter bildungspolitischer Entwicklungen, die symbolisch in das erstmalig erscheinende Geschichtsbuch zur Regionalkunde Oberschlesiens einfließen. Ziel der Studie ist, der bildungspolitischen Debatte in Polen wie Deutschland eine verlässliche Basis zu geben, um (auch) deutsches Kulturerbe als Europäisierungsmoment der oberschlesischen Geschichte zu begreifen. Weiter will sie andeuten, wie Oberschlesien als ein multikulturell geprägter Erinnerungsort im Unterricht erfolgreich vermittelt werden kann.
