Research on the development and self-realization of human personality is based on the perception of humans as philosophical beings. The question surrounding the „human being“ has become a question about the survival of humanity. In research centres in Europe, the USA, Canada, China, Australia the balance between biological, psyological and social components in human development is becoming an evermore active research focus. A research group from the Academy for Teacher Education and Educatioanl Administration Riga and the State University Smolensk (Russia) analyzed the professional identity of post-sendary teachers from two cultures with the aim of analyzing the nature of the professional identity of pedagogues and to determine a research methodology. Methodology in pedagogy involves teaching about the untiy of theory and research methods. The structure of scientific methodology is composed of four levels: 1) general theoretical, philosophical, methodological principles and approaches; 2) general pedagogical methodological principles; 3) regularities and principles of the sub-field of pedagogy; 4) principles of selection and use of research methodologies for a specific theme, based on empirical data. The methodological sources of this research are theoretical literature, dissertations in pedagogy as well as individual experiences of pedagogical and scientific activities. The research results show that the professional activity of post-secondary teachers and the quality of societal development influence and connect with each other.

The Relationship

Abstract. TV news are essentially cultural phenomena. Previous research suggests that the often-overlooked formal and implicit characteristics of newscasts may be systematically related to culture-specific characteristics. Investigating these characteristics by means of a frame-by-frame content analysis is identified as a particularly promising methodological approach. To examine the relationship between culture and selected formal characteristics of newscasts, we present an explorative study that compares material from the USA, the Arab world, and Germany. Results indicate that there are many significant differences, some of which are in line with expectations derived from cultural specifics. Specifically, we argue that the number of persons presented as well as the context in which they are presented can be interpreted as indicators of Individualism/Collectivism. The conclusions underline the validity of the chosen methodological approach, but also demonstrate the need for more comprehensive and theory-driven category schemes.

Abstract. The current study examines the item and scalar equivalence of an abbreviated school-based universal screener that was cross-culturally translated and adapted from English into German. The instrument was designed to assess student behavior problems that impact classroom learning. Participants were 1,346 K-6 grade students from the US (n = 390, Mage = 9.23, 38.5% female) and Germany (n = 956, Mage = 8.04, 40.1% female). Measurement invariance was tested by multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) across students from the US and Germany. Results support full scalar invariance between students from the US and Germany (df = 266, χ2 = 790.141, Δχ2 = 6.9, p < .001, CFI = 0.976, ΔCFI = 0.000, RMSEA = 0.052, ΔRMSEA = −0.003) indicating that the factor structure, the factor loadings, and the item thresholds are comparable across samples. This finding implies that a full cross-cultural comparison including latent factor means and structural coefficients between the US and the German version of the abbreviated screener is possible. Therefore, the tool can be used in German schools as well as for cross-cultural research purposes between the US and Germany.
