School Health Education

School health education is supposed to be aimed at taking actions based on the concept of positive health and good well-being but its scope is extending due to socio – cultural changes. Nowadays virtual world is becoming a part of the social reality and is perceived as an important socialization factor. For this reason Internet use should be treated as one of the health education areas as it influences psychosocial health and wellbeing of individuals. The article presents the Polish educational system and the place of health education in core curriculum. This issues constitute a theoretical framework for reporting the findings of research, which were aimed at determining the behaviours of Polish pupils undertaken in virtual space. The main goal of the research was to establish the influence of these behaviours on physical and psychosocial health as well as wellbeing of respondents. A similar studies were conducted by Sonia Livingstone, Michał Klichowski and Maciej Tanaś. The research proved the strong engagement of pupils surveyed in all types of Internet activities, which had an impact on occurring disorders of many areas of functioning (e.g. back pains, visual problems, tiredness, anxiety, insomnia, learning difficulties, social problems). The findings justified the urgent need to include the issues regarding safe and healthy behaviours undertaken in cyber space in health education curriculum. In conclusion some guidelines for educational practice have been formulated.

New Interpretation

The number of burials per year known from Athens decreases significantly in the Protogeometric period and then increases rapidly again in the Late Geometric period. The explanation offered for this development by Morris in 1987 is the most popular one so far. This paper will first quickly discuss this and other previous ideas and their wider implications, but then focus on providing a new one. The starting point of this new interpretation is that various types of burial sites may have different recovery rates. I will thus first sketch the different possibilities for the location of graves in Athens in the Early Iron Age and the Archaic period. The subsequent diachronic analysis of these different types of burial sites and their respective popularity forms the core of this contribution. A case study of the Kerameikos and the area of the later Agora as well as an overview of all Athenian sites is provided. These developments and their correspondences in the grave count allow for an interpretation which does account for the variations in the known numbers of graves as well as the changing spatial patterns. This is finally set into the wider field of socio-cultural changes in Early Athens.

Vision Therapy

All vision therapy techniques are not medical. It's more like psychological-educational methods. Prophylaxis and vision therapy all around the world is primarily used by psychologists and educationalists not doctors. There is no healing in improving person’s vision, it is teaching. Eyes are the same part of the human body as other parts, and you should take care and rest. Pupils' education on eyes care should be one of the tasks of general education schools. Attention needs to be paid to the quality of pupils' vision at school. Must be time to develop pupils need to take care of our own vision. Schools community should decide during witch classes and lessons vision therapy should be done. The starting point should be at kindergarten or in primary school. The sooner children adopts appropriate eye care skills, the more it becomes a habit and the less valuable time will take in older age. It is important for students to learn to love their eyes, remember to take care of them, to rest and relax them. Exercises for eyes should be prepared and given to pupils as their obligation for the eyes. The memos should be included with: relaxation exercises, solarization, massages, imaginational exercises, exercises for eyes muscles and for accomodation. Key words: vision system, vision therapy, school education.

The Social

Redefining the canon and the core curriculum is a popular topic in the current debate concerning multiculturalism. The focus on education is indeed crucial, insofar as it creates a symbolic ground for a democratic society, implying the possibility of universal dialogue across cultural and social differences. Yet to overcome the fragmenting dissensus among radical, conservative, and liberal positions, we need a concept of "general education" that reconciles the normative ideals of equality and freedom with the social reality of ethnic, social, and sexual diversity. I argue that we can develop such a new philosophy of education in the spirit of a grounded cosmopolitanism by showing how a shared and still culturally sensitive understanding can emerge from different cultural backgrounds. The goal of democratic education consists thus in the creation of a culturally grounded yet reflexively open self, as the precondition for democratic participation in the multicultural public sphere.

The core curriculum for the third stage of education includes a provision that the aim of general education in a comprehensive high school and technical secondary school is, among others, to integrate the subject knowledge from various disciplines. The article presents the results of the analysis of a selected textbook for the first grade of a secondary school implementing the core curriculum from 2018. The main research questions are: How do the authors of the textbook implement the need to integrate the language, literary and text-building education, which is included in the core curriculum for secondary schools? Do the suggested methods of integration include functional grammar? The author refers to the core curriculum, the findings of linguists – researchers of language education at school and the selected textbook. The conducted analysis is a case study.

Within recent years many critical questions have been raised concerning the effectiveness with which the schools of America are meeting the needs of a growing and developing democracy. Significant social and economic changes have tended to focus attention on institutions and practices created to serve the demands of an earlier day. A greatly increased school population has emphasized the importance of general education and new theories of learning have raised serious doubt about the value of educational procedures designed to serve an intellectual aristocracy. Many an influential voice has asked penetrating questions concerning the adequacy of a curriculum based on the fundamental assumption that “knowledge is power” and increasing attention has been given to the development of those characteristics of personality considered essential to responsible citizenship in a democratic society.

Universal Values

A teacher’s work with children of preschool and early school age focuses on achieving the teaching and educational objectives, as well as those related to childcare. The tasks include, among others, supporting pupils in shaping the image of the world, recognising different values and criteria,as well as methods of choosing them, obtaining basic social skills, and shaping moral and religious attitudes. The educator is obliged to show the children universal values and ethical principles. They also have to present role models and motivate their pupils to imitate them. All of this fosters an image of sanctity among children. When it comes to making decisions regarding the shaping of the image of sanctity among children, the teacher is restricted by educational law, especially the core curriculum of general education, as well as the school’s curriculum. This restriction applies mainly to the objectives and content of teaching and education. However, in matters of methodology, the teacher has many possibilities for creative action. They may exceed the methodologies suggested by educational law and design their own teaching innovations. With regard to shaping the image of sanctity among children, of particular note are All Saints’ Day balls, Angel Days, educational games and activities, family fairs, saints’ parades, competition and stage productions.
