Educational Thinking

ResumoEste artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre a relevância da filosofia e suas contribuições para o pensamento educacional. Realiza-se uma breve contextualização histórica e filosófica, com o objetivo de compreender como as relações existentes na sociedade contemporânea buscam domar a escola, ou seja, como atravessam as práticas escolares, dificultando a operacionalização do tempo livre para aprender em um espaço igualitário. A metodologia empregada foi o estudo bibliográfico, com base em um levantamento de produções correlatas, que permitissem contextualizar a temática do pensamento educacional e algumas relações entre escola e sociedade. A partir dos textos selecionados se consideraram os autores que articulam a educação escolar e o poder de doma e subordinação que a sociedade capitalista exerce sobre a escola, percebendo-se que as práticas formativas do ser humano são direcionadas para atender ao mercado de trabalho, reproduzindo, em grande medida, as relações capitalistas. Todavia, a escola se configura, então, como lugar potencialmente propício à promoção de relações sociais igualitárias, no sentido em que oferece tempo livre para aprender, o que se traduz como uma das principais potencialidades transformadoras da escola. Palavras-chave: Pensamento Educacional. Escola. Tempo Livre. AbstractThis article presents a reflection on the relevance of philosophy and its contributions to educational thinking. A brief historical and philosophical context was carried out with the objective of understanding how existing relationships in contemporary society seek to tame the school - that is, how they cross school practices, make it difficult to use free time to learn in an egalitarian space. The methodology used was the bibliographical study, based on a survey of related productions, which allowed contextualizing the theme of educational thought and some relationships between school and society. From the selected texts, it was considered the authors who articulate the school education and the power of taming and subordination that the capitalist society exerts on the school, realizing that the formative practices of the human being are directed to attend the labor market , reproducing, to a large extent, capitalist relationships. However, the school is thus a potentially propitious place to promote egalitarian social relationships, in the sense that it offers free time to learn, which is translated as one of the main transformative potentialities of the school. Keywords: Educational Thinking.

People’S Perceptions

Based on analyses of a 2016 German survey, this article contributes to debates on ‘societal nature relations’ by investigating the systematic differences between socially specific types of social relations with nature in a flexible capitalist society. It presents a typology of ten different ‘syndromes’ of attitudes toward social and environmental issues, which are then grouped to distinguish between four ideal types of social relationships with nature: dominance, conscious mutual dependency, alienation and contradiction. These are located in Pierre Bourdieu’s (1984) social space to illustrate how social relationships with nature correspond to people’s positions within the totality of social relations. Understanding how people’s perceptions of and actions pertaining to nature are shaped by their positions in these intersecting relations of domination – both within social space and between society and nature – is an important precondition for developing transformative strategies that will be capable of gaining majority support in flexible capitalist societies.

This chapter discusses the role of education in “humanizing the economy” and emphasizes its contribution to the development of a new socio-economic model that helps to overcome the irregularities present in contemporary society. It proposes the implementation of school practices aimed at the completeness of the individual and in favor of social balance. It also emphasizes the importance of the humanizing process in the attainment of values such as, justice, freedom, solidarity and cooperation, which are structuring values of social cohesion. The primary data focused on the Secondary Education in the Districts of Braga and Viana do Castelo, in the northwest of Portugal. Interviews were conducted with school principals as main actors in the research. In spite of the limitations of the work, the results show that, in Portugal, education is still focused on individualism. It is also noted that assimilation of social aspects and humanization is weak, which inhibits placing the individual at the center of economic concerns and produces negative externalities on economic and social performance including wellbeing.

Biological Differences

The term gender refers to the cultural and social characteristics attributed to men and women on the basis of perceived biological differences. In the 1970s, feminists focused on sex roles, particularly the socialization of men and women into distinct masculine and feminine roles and the apparent universality of patriarchy. More recent work has critiqued the idea of two distinct genders, calling into question the notion of gender dichotomies and focusing attention on gender as a constitutive element of all social relationships. Gender has been described as a social institution that structures the organization of other institutions, such as the labor market, families, and the state, as well as the social relations of everyday life. In addition, scholars have pointed to the ways in which gender is constructed by organizations and individual interactions. Gender not only differentiates men and women into unequal groups, it also structures unequal access to goods and resources, often crosscutting and intersecting with other forms of inequality, such as class, race, and ethnicity.

Abstract The employment level vulnerability - a subject of interest to specialists, and also lately there is an increasing attention of European organizations in this regard by means of directives and regulations .Vulnerable groups are groups without support. The main groups with a higher risk of being affected by some form of exclusion from the labor market are young people, women, the disabled, the elderly, roma people, rural population. In our country one of the characteristics of democracy is that men and women are equal in rights. Young people are exposed to an endogenous risk that reflects their inexperience and also to exogenous risks related to the fields they’re frequently working in. The purpose of this article is to show that the forms of vulnerability generate economic and social imbalances in both the individual and the country. The working hypothesis of this article is that young people and women are the groups most exposed to vulnerability, and this also influences the employment levels.

Introduction: it is necessary to assess the way students spend their free time in the final years of high school due to the poor results that have appeared recently in the baccalaureate exams. Methods: the study was carried out using a group of 202 students from the 11th and 12th grades from a National College (117 pupils) and a High School (85 pupils) from the city of Dorohoi, Botosani County. The young people filled in a questionnaire with questions about leisure activities and social relationships. The results were processed using Pearson's chi-squared test. Results and discussions: The time allocated daily for physical activity is mostly 15-30 minutes (23.76%) with significant differences between the two schools (p˂0.05). The time spent watching TV is mostly 0.5-1 hours (35.64%) with insignificant differences between grades (p>0.05). Most students (44.05%) do not sit at the computer, the calculated differences being statistically insignificant (p>0.05). When looking at social relationships we take into account friends, where in the majority of cases (32.4%) students have „one” true friend. This is a usual result because in this period of the adolescent's life the role the group of friends plays decreases, with significant differences between school years (p˂0.05). In their free time, they go out into town, mostly 2-3 evenings per week (28.71%), but there are also 31.68% negative answers. Parents are less concerned about school activity (“never” answers – 34.15%) with significant differences between grades (p˂0.01). Parents are also less concerned with the way their children spend their free time (“never” answers – 34.65%) with significant differences between school years (p˂0.05). Conclusions: there is a series of situations that guide us towards a modest concern for the future, both from students and their parents.

Longitudinal Associations

Abstract Individuals’ social connections can both shape and be shaped by cognitive abilities in aging process. This study examined bidirectional longitudinal associations between cognitive abilities and social relationships using 12-year longitudinal data (3 waves) from 499 German older adults who were born between year 1930 and 1932. Cognitive abilities were assessed as a latent construct consisting of five cognitive tests, i.e., picture completion, block design, information, similarities, and word finding. Social relationships were assessed by the self-reported number of free time partners and scales of perceived social relationships. Using a random-intercept cross-lagged panel model, we focused on within-person causal relations. Results showed that higher cognitive abilities predicted higher number of free time partners over four years and that more positive perceived social relationships predicted higher cognitive abilities at four-year follow-up. In sum, the bidirectional longitudinal associations indicate social relationships and cognitive abilities mutually maintain each other in old age.

Este artigo trata, através de dados etnográficos, do envelhecimento e das relações que podem ser estabelecidas ao longo desse processo em relação ao trabalho, evidenciando também como alguns dos sujeitos envolvidos reconfiguram suas vidas após o rompimento da ligação formal com o mercado de trabalho. O “valor-trabalho” enquanto produtor de uma identidade social de destaque na sociedade contemporânea mantém sua repercussão no tempo subjetivo dos interlocutores e sua realidade objetiva no interior da estrutura capitalista. Este trabalho é parte da pesquisa que desenvolvo no doutorado, na qual busco compreender como os longevos em dois municípios que se reconhecem e são reconhecidos pela longevidade como símbolo de identidade - Veranópolis - RS e Maués - AM - experenciam a alta esperança de vida. Palavras chave: Envelhecimento. Longevidade. Trabalho. Aposentadoria. Envelhecimento Ativo.   "The Secret is not Stop": anthropological study about conceptions of the work among elderly people in Maués – AM and Veranópolis – RS  Abstract   Using ethnographic data this paper depicts the process of aging and the relationships that can be established throughout this process in relation to work. Demonstrates how some of the subjects involved reconfigure their lives after the end of the formal link with the labor market. The "labor value", as a producer of an outstanding social identity in contemporary society, maintains its impact on the informant’s subjective time and objective reality within the capitalist structure. This paper is a part result of the doctoral research that I develop in which I seek to understand in two cities that feature high life expectancy (Veranópolis/RS and Maués/AM, both in Brazil) how the elderlies recognise themselves and are recognised by others under the sign of longevity, taking it as a symbol of identity.

Christian Message

The process of secularization, known as the process of the privatization of religion or its denial from the public square, is a heritage of Modernity. This reality had (and continues to have) important consequences for Christian theology. Hence, the renewal of Christian theology is urgent, and has a lot at stake, especially regarding the need for a renewed Christian message within contemporary society. Though public theology appeared as a normal consequence of the need for the renewal of Christian theology, this renewal is not necessarily present in many of its methods. The rigidity of both of its theological methods and language remains a problem for public theology. This article suggests that the new shift in anthropology should be taken into consideration when constructing a viable public theology nowadays. The category of “religious imagination” is of utmost importance since it takes into consideration the new definition of the human being, which is in line more with postmodernism than modernity. Thus, the article sketches the possible substantial contribution the religious imagination brings towards the revitalization of contemporary public theology. Moreover, the article mentions recent Romanian studies on the imagination, which stresses, even more, the richness hidden within it and its possible usage for the construction of a viable public theology.

Do So

The situation of women in the labor market in Poland depends on numerous complex micro- and macroeconomic factors. It results from the economic condition of the country and the global economic situation. It is a product of decisions made on a micro level as a result of macro circumstances. When discussing the employment market it should be borne in mind that it is not an ordinary market, such as the market for wellington boots or that of strawber- ries. The ‘product’ here is a human being and an ‘excess’ in the labor market creates a certain unfavorable outcome, namely unemployment. Just as an excess in the supply of wellingtons or strawberries leads to a drop in price, in the labor market it means cuts in salaries or stopping paychecks. That is why one of the tasks of the government is to provide people with the basic opportunity to get a job and earn money. Why then should the state react to the turbulence in the labor market when it does not necessarily have to do so in other markets? The answer is simply that wellingtons and strawberries do not have to provide for themselves and the family.
