After restoring Independence in Lithuania, there has not been a separate research carried out which would contain an in-depth analysis of the quality of activities presented in history textbooks used in general education schools. Therefore, the following research problem is raised in this article: whether the activities presented in the history textbooks for 5th–8th grades that are currently in use in Lithuanian general education schools are suitable for developing the achievements in history subject which are defined in the General Curriculum Framework. The aim of this study is to investigate the suitability of history textbook activities for 5th–8th grades for developing pupils‘ achievements delineated in the General Curriculum Framework 2008. To reach this aim the following objectives were raised: 1) to discuss the key achievements in history subject as well as the requirements for history learning process that are highlighted in scientific literature and educational programmes; 2) to reveal the role of a textbook and its activities / activities system for improving pupils’ achievements in accordance to Lithuanian education documents and scientific literature; 3) to analyse the suitability of history textbook activities for 5th–8th grades for improving pupils’ knowledge and skills delineated in the General Curriculum Framework for Basic Education 2008 for the subject of history. Methods of research: analysis of education documents and scientific literature, analysis of textbook content. Data of the analysis revealed that more than half of the tasks in the investigated history textbooks for 5th–8th grades require from pupils knowledge and understanding of historical figures, events or cases depicted in a textbook. Fewer than a quarter of the analysed history textbook activities are designed to developing pupils’ ability to put knowledge into practice. Very few tasks presented in textbooks are intended for developing the capacity for more complicated reasoning. Whilst analysing the adaptation of activities in history textbooks for 5th–8th grades for developing pupils‘ competencies in the subject, it became clear that the activities are only partially suitable for developing the competencies delineated in the General Curriculum Framework. The greater part of tasks is designed for developing an understanding of historical evolution and ability to engage in historical analysis and interpretation. Only 4.3 percent of tasks induce the pupils to develop an ability to orientate in historical time and space. The analysed textbooks contain few activities that would motivate pupils to take an integral approach towards Lithuanian and world history.

This article is a review of the history textbooks of High School that aims to view and analyze the content of multiculturalism material contained in history textbooks. The method used in this study is critical discourse analysis. The subject in this study is Indonesia history textbook class XI High School Curriculum 2013 (Revised 2017). The results of the study showed that there is a content of multiculturalism material contained in textbooks. This can be seen from the achievements of indoctrinators who support multiculturalism as a whole (the value of tolerance, the value of equality, and democratic values). With the appearance of these indicators, it can be said that the Indonesia history textbook class XI curriculum 2013 is enough to display the content of material containing multiculturalism. In addition, withthe ampilnya content of multiculturalism material in historical textbooks, it can be said to be an effort to be able to channel the understanding of multiculturalism to the younger generation (students). The material of multiculturalism itself  is very suitable to be displayed in historical textbook material. Because, history textbooks in addition to being a medium that supports learning, is also a medium that can show learners a historical event that has occurred in the past with many essences and values of diversity that exist. It is a common interest for the formation of attitudes of learners who can respect each other in their lives.   KEYWORDS Multiculturalism, History textbooks, Discourse analysis.

One of the eight wastes that Lean production, inspired by the Toyota Production System, proposes to study is the underutilization of workers, that is, the inadequate use of their intelligence. The sense is to provide listening and participation in improvement projects, of professionals who have experience in daily life and, in many cases, consistent academic qualifications.  The objective of this work is to study the importance of the participation of teachers and employees of a basic education school in the construction of new routines and work methods, in the context of the Lean management philosophy, justified by the scarcity of scientific literature on the subject. Brazil has about 184,000 basic education schools with one million four hundred thousand teachers working from kindergarten to the ninth grade of elementary school, and of these, 83.2% have a college degree, a percentage that grows every year. About the schools, 21.7% are private, 61.3% municipal, 16.6% state, and 0.4% are federal schools. As a research methodology, a systematic review of the literature was adopted, based on the PRISMA protocol, allowing the identification of 53 records, 14 of which were included in the literature review, due to their adherence to the researched subject. The main contribution of this paper is the identification of a research gap involving the underutilization of workers and adoption of the Lean management philosophy in the education sector, as well as a conceptual proposal of the positive impact on the educational organization results by not underutilizing workers, without wasting their intelligence.

O conceito e a perspectiva de interdisciplinaridade em conteúdo dos livros didáticos de História nos levam a refletir acerca de como as disciplinas escolares se comunicam entre si no quesito interdisciplinar em suas práticas de ensino e aprendizagem. Desse modo, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar alguns conceitos interdisciplinares para o ensino e a aprendizagem escolar. Para tanto, pretende-se comparar alguns conceitos de interdisciplinaridade e a sua aplicação em sala de aula a partir de propostas do livro didático de História no tocante ao Regime Militar Brasileiro. Assim, utilizaremos como referencial teórico Thiesen (2007) e suas proposições acerca da interdisciplinaridade como movimento articulador no processo ensino-aprendizagem. Metodologicamente, trata-se de um estudo descritivo-interpretativo de natureza qualitativa. No que toca especificamente ao ensino de História, observamos que o tratamento dispensado ao regime ditatorial brasileiro poderia lançar mão de reflexões produzidas noutros campos do saber, como os estudos da ciência política e da sociologia. Assim, a temática em foco seria entrevista a partir de diferentes vieses, tornando o ensino de História produtivo e significativo. A quase inexistência da interdisciplinaridade na educação básica é fruto de uma lógica acadêmica pautada na tradição positivista que compartimentou o saber em disciplinas, especializando as ciências e, com isso, fragmentando o conhecimento. Palavras-chave: Educação Básica. Aprendizagem. Autoritarismo. AbstractThe concept and perspective of interdisciplinarity in the content of History textbooks lead us to reflect on how school subjects relate to one another in the interdisciplinary aspect of their teaching and learning practices. Thus, the objective of this research is to analyze some interdisciplinary concepts for teaching and learning. Therefore, it is intended to compare some concepts of interdisciplinarity and its use in the classroom based on proposals taken from the History textbook content concerning to Brazilian Military Government. For this purpose, we will use as theoretical framework Thiesen (2007) and his propositions about interdisciplinarity. Methodologically, it is a descriptive-interpretative study of qualitative nature. With regard specifically to the teaching of history, we observed that the treatment of the Brazilian dictatorial regime could use reflections produced in other fields of knowledge, such as the studies of political science and sociology. Thus, the theme in focus would be interview from different biases, making the teaching of history productive and meaningful. The almost nonexistence of interdisciplinarity in basic education is the result of an academic logic based on the positivist tradition that compartmentalized knowledge in disciplines, specializing the sciences and, thus, fragmenting knowledge. Keywords: Basic Education. Learning. Authoritarianism.

Introduction and goal. The article deals with the actual problem associated with the development of various methodological aspects of preparing scripts for math lessons in the Moscow E-School (MESH), which have not yet been considered in the methodology, which will help the mathematics teacher to get involved in active and productive work on the use of a new electronic resource. Research objectives were definition of approaches to the development of a typology of scenarios of math lessons in MESH and creation of a model of the most popular types of scenarios. Materials and methods. The definition of approaches to creation of typology of scenarios of lessons of mathematics was carried out on the basis of the analysis of scientific literature, analytical activity, a method of modeling and carrying out questioning of workers of education. Results. The most often applied types of scenarios for mathematics lessons which can be created by the teacher by means of the available MESH resources have been developed and described. Such types of scenarios reflect the model made on a basis of system-activity approach, and include motivational, activity, control and reflective blocks. The proposed model provides for the possibility of a unified representation of scenarios. Conclusions. The application of the developed approaches will ensure the efficiency of work of the teacher, rational use of software, technological advantages and key opportunities of tools of MESH, will facilitate search of the necessary scenario in MESH.

The need to update the curriculum and the Curriculum framework of general education has been discussed for several years, as long as a year ago, the renewal work of primary and basic education curriculum began, and this year the renewal of the secondary and preschool education curriculum started. The curriculum of the general preschool education is described for one year, with the possibility for the child to study for the second year. The preschool education programme is not structured in separate subjects – the knowledge is acquired integrally, by developing seven competencies in all activities in which the child participates, in order to ensure the balance and coherence of all competencies in different content areas. Excluded content areas are given equal volume. It is being focused on the purpose and goals of preschool education, areas of achievement and intended achievements. The learning content is divided into five areas of learning content: • language education; • social education; • STEM education(natural science, mathematics and informatics, technological education); • health and physical education; • artistic education. The general curricula for pre-primary, primary, basic and secondary education must ensure vertical and horizontal coherence of content, possible interdisciplinary links, and indicate how they can be meaningfully disclosed including the interdisciplinary topics set out in the General curriculum framework updating guidelines: • personal power, • cultural identity and community spirit, • sustainable development. The volumes of primary, basic and secondary education curricula are presented distinguishing between compulsory subject content (about 70 per cent) and optional content (about 30 per cent), which is selected and modelled by the teacher himself, taking into account school, classroom context, student needs, achievements, possibilities and in coordination with other teachers as required. When implementing optional content, more time is devoted to the development of certain skills, values, and learning of subject topics. Project works can be organised, interdisciplinary themes can be developed, time can be allocated for cognitive, cultural, artistic, and creative activities. According to the concept of the Guidelines for the Renewal of the General Curriculum Framework, this distribution of the content ratio is focused on deeper learning, integration, topic development, competence development. Keywords: curriculum framework, general education, interdisciplinary topics, project works.

The purpose of the article is to typologize terminological definitions of security, to find out the general, to identify the originality of their interpretations depending on the subject of legal regulation. The methodological basis of the study is the methods that made it possible to obtain valid conclusions, in particular, the method of comparison, through which it became possible to correlate different interpretations of the term "security"; method of hermeneutics, which allowed to elaborate texts of normative legal acts of Ukraine, method of typologization, which made it possible to create typologization groups of variants of understanding of the term "security". Scientific novelty. The article analyzes the understanding of the term "security" in various regulatory acts in force in Ukraine. Typological groups were understood to understand the term "security". Conclusions. The analysis of the legal material makes it possible to confirm that the issues of security are within the scope of both legislative regulation and various specialized by-laws. However, today there is no single conception on how to interpret security terminology. This is due both to the wide range of social relations that are the subject of legal regulation and to the relativity of the notion of security itself and the lack of coherence of views on its definition in legal acts and in the scientific literature. The multiplicity of definitions is explained by combinations of material and procedural understanding, static - dynamic, and conditioned by the peculiarities of a particular branch of legal regulation, limited ability to use methods of one or another branch, the inter-branch nature of some variations of security, etc. Separation, common and different in the definition of "security" can be used to further standardize, in fact, the regulatory legal understanding of security to more effectively implement the legal regulation of the security direction.

By identifying two general issues in recent history textbook controversies worldwide (oblivion and inclusion), this article examines understandings of the United States in Mexico's history textbooks (especially those of 1992) as a means to test the limits of historical imagining between U. S. and Mexican historiographies. Drawing lessons from recent European and Indian historiographical debates, the article argues that many of the historical clashes between the nationalist historiographies of Mexico and the United States could be taught as series of unsolved enigmas, ironies, and contradictions in the midst of a central enigma: the persistence of two nationalist historiographies incapable of contemplating their common ground. The article maintains that lo mexicano has been a constant part of the past and present of the US, and lo gringo an intrinsic component of Mexico's history. The di erences in their historical tracks have been made into monumental ontological oppositions, which are in fact two tracks—often overlapping—of the same and shared con ictual and complex experience.

В статье предпринята попытка теоретического анализа и изучения научной литературы по организации и становлению воспитательной работы с осужденными в местах лишения свободы, продемонстрирована взаимосвязь между политико-воспитательной работой, ресоциализацией и исправлением осужденных в пенитенциарных учреждениях. Проведенное исследование позволяет предполагать, что воспитательная работа является основополагающим средством исправления различных категорий осужденных (регламентировано ст. 9 УИК РФ). На этой основе критерием исправления будет становиться устойчивое правопослушное поведение человека. В связи с этим возникает необходимость использования психолого-педагогической программы по перестройке и самооценке осужденных, позволяющей формировать их готовность к самореализации, когда осознание совершенных преступлений становится внутренне неприемлемым. Авторами отмечается, что, самоисправление человека зависит от ряда направлений воспитательной работы: нравственного, правового, физического воспитания, получения основного общего образования, получения профессии. Очевидно, что для закрепления положительного результата процесс ресоциализации в пенитенциарных учреждениях должен проводиться сотрудниками всех отделов и служб на основе комплексных программ, разработанных с учетом специфики и возраста осужденных.The article attempts a theoretical analysis and study of scientific literature on the organization and formation of educational work with convicts in prisons, demonstrates the relationship between «political and educational work», re-socialization and correction of convicts in prisons. The study suggests that educational work is a fundamental means of correcting various categories of convicts (regulated by article 9 of the criminal code). Based on this criterion fixes will become sustainable human behavior, demonstrating a conscious rejection of the violation of legal norms with the aim of securing sustainable patterns of law-abiding behavior. There is a need to use the psychological and pedagogical Program for restructuring and self-assessment of convicts, which allows to form on this basis their readiness for self-realization, when the awareness of the crimes committed becomes internally unacceptable. In this regard, the self-correction of a person depends on a number of areas, namely, moral, legal, physical education, basic General education, profession, forming the basis of educational work. It is obvious that in order to consolidate a positive result in penitentiary institutions, the activities of all departments and services should be carried out a process of re-socialization on the basis of comprehensive Programs developed taking into account the specifics and different ages of convicts.
