In the Romanian context, writing is in a paradoxical situation: it is claimed to be important though it is one of the skills that is little invested in and moreover it undergoes strong opposition from the parents who would opt for digitalization as a preventive opportunity for their children in the future. Mistreated by both school and society, writing is given meagre chances of proving its determining role in the intellectual formation of the young generation. In this line of thought this paper aims at mapping writing as a school-taught skill by first outlining the Romanian approach to school writing (as product or process) and secondly by carrying out an analysis of the writing tasks regularly assigned, with a view to emphasizing their ups and downs and to suggesting changes that might improve not only the perception on writing in the Romanian curriculum, but also the quality of the educational output. In order to obtain a good representation of how writing is viewed by the Romanian educational system, it is deemed as appropriate to analyse the school curriculum issued and approved by the Ministry of National Education and to evaluate the implementation of the official guidelines into school textbooks. The justification for the interest of the authors in writing is related to the high rates of functional illiteracy, to the preponderant evaluation type of the pupils (a written one) and to the largely acknowledged inability of pupils to successfully manage their written tasks.

It needs a fundamental and accurate solution in facing those problems. Improving and rearranging the paradigm, system and orientation of Islamic education according to its framework can be the alternative solution to solve the problems. Islamic education should be a core in the national education curriculum, so that Islamic education will have a complete transformation in people life of this state. A comprehensive and systematic transformation of Islamic education can be done through the following stages: 1) Religious education should be the core in the national education curriculum, and the substance of religious teachings should not be disputed in nation’s life. 2) Religious education in schools and colleges/universities must be taught by qualified and professional teachers and lecturers, and 3) Implementation of religious education materials should fit the needs and age of learners.

Incorporating home care education into the medical school curriculum is essential for providing a learning experience not duplicated elsewhere. Students rotating through family medicine write a reflection paper on their experiences. The papers about home visits from July 2000 to June 2004 were analyzed by a constant comparison technique developing seven themes: student paradigm shift in their understanding of causes vs. effects of disease, misconceptions about treatment, access to care, a return to the roots of medicine, quality of family caregiving, broader implications of providing care, and controversial issues. The students’ papers demonstrate the unique environment of home visits.

The article argues that the life-creativity of Academician Ivan Andriiovych Ziaziun was subordinated to the ideals of serving his people. His "Pedagogy of good" is valuable for his natural synthesis of the principles of nationality, citizenship, patriotism, endowed with transcendental educational functions for "living and unborn" generations. It serves as a solid foundation for national education in the context of strengthening Ukrainian identity. It is substantiated that the disappearance of ethnic identity, manifested in aspects of language, national memory, traditions, symbols, culture, makes it impossible to perceive and motivate belonging to Ukrainian ethnic identity and pride for it. In the academic and pedagogical environment of this strategy, I. Ziaziun always adhered to his traditional "sense of honor, dignity and significance of education in society." He clearly understood how important it is for a teacher, a pupil, a student, and finally a state who seeks subjectivity in the world community, to balance the fundamental components of real and humane education in order to "take on the challenge of time with dignity." These ideas are designed on the conscious experience of the adoption of the principles of culture and nature compatibility and multiculturalism. The attention is paid to foreign achievements in improving the quality of educational systems through the dialogue of cultures that stimulates the development of education, industrialization, democratization, innovation of technological processes. By giving a general assessment of the results of cultural contacts, you can find numerous universal achievements of countries and peoples related to various cultural and philosophical models.
