In the context of globalization citizenship education issues are re-emerging in the international scope, including the discussion of the citizenship education concept and the role and goal formulations of citizenship education. The problem of political education has recently become increasingly important. For example, against the background of difficult political events in Ukraine over the past two decades, it becomes clear that maintaining and developing democracy requires critical citizens of society who understand the prospects of a democratic system for the country. In order to understand current socio-political problems, it is first necessary to analyze a critical analysis of historical, political and socio-cultural developments in a society. The article was created as a part of the research project “Implications of global developments on job-related ideas of teacher training students in Austria and Ukraine” of the University College of Teacher Education Vienna, the TNPU and WUNU. The contribution of this article to the aim of the research project is therefore to compare the citizenship education system in Ukraine and Austria and their respective historical development in order to draw the conclusions for teacher training. This contribution is closely connected with an international current discourse on central concepts of citizenship education. The article deals with the history of the citizenship education in Ukraine and Austria, shows the current state of development of this educational area and presents the results of the curriculum analysis of the pedagogical universities with regard to the implementation of political education in the context of globalization. The results of the work can help theorists and practitioners to understand the challenges of citizenship education in times of globalization.

In the early 1960s, Peace Corps staff turned to American colleges and universities to prepare young Americans for volunteer service abroad. In doing so, the agency applied the university's modernist conceptions of citizenship education to volunteer training. The training staff and volunteers quickly discovered, however, that prevailing methods of education in the university were ineffective for community-development work abroad. As a result, the agency evolved its own pedagogical practices and helped shape early ideas of service learning in American higher education. The Peace Corps staff and supporters nonetheless maintained the assumptions of development and modernist citizenship, setting limits on the broader visions of education emerging out of international volunteerism in the 1960s. The history of the Peace Corps training in the 1960s and the agency's efforts to rethink training approaches offer a window onto the underlying tensions of citizenship education in the modern university.

In this article David Barnett documents a practice-as-research project that employed Brechtian approaches to stage dramatic material. The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a realist text in which the protagonist, John Proctor, redeems himself for the sin of adultery by taking a heroic stand against the Salem witch-hunts. Existing scholarship has revealed a series of gendered biases in the form and content of the play, yet these findings have never been systematically realized in performance. While appearing to defend democratic values, the play’s dramaturgical strategies coerce agreement, and this represents a fundamental contradiction. Brecht offers a method that preserves the written dialogue, but interprets it critically onstage, deploying a range of devices derived from a materialist and dialectical interpretation. The aim of the production was to re-present a play with a familiar production history and problematize the political bases on which it conventionally rested. The article discusses the rationale for the theory and practice of contemporary Brechtian theatre and offers the production as a model for future critical realizations of other realist plays. David Barnett is Professor of Theatre at the University of York. His publications include A History of the Berliner Ensemble (CUP, 2015), Brecht in Practice: Theatre, Theory and Performance (Bloomsbury, 2014), amd Rainer Werner Fassbinder and the German Theatre (CUP, 2005).

The publication in 2000 of the three-volume Cambridge Urban History of Britain presented British urban historians with an ideal opportunity to take stock of the current state of research in their discipline. For Welsh urban historians it raised a number of particularly thorny issues. Whilst it contained some important chapters focused exclusively on the history of Welsh towns, it also identified Wales as one of the most under-researched areas of urban Britain. This special issue, dedicated specifically to Welsh urban history, has been conceived in part as a response to that finding. It also represents the collective efforts of scholars, new and established, whose research on urban Wales was presented at a conference on ‘Understanding Urban Wales’ at the University of Wales Swansea in September 2003. The event demonstrated the existence of a healthy ‘critical mass’ of scholarship, at both postgraduate and postdoctoral level, on Welsh towns and their development.

Judith Brown, in her Epilogue to Volume IV of The Oxford History of the British Empire (OHBE), states that of the legacies of the British Empire, the ‘most significant of all is the legacy of the school and the university’, and in particular the role of English as an international language. Brown's acknowledgement of the importance of colonial education renders all the more striking the lack of attention given to this subject in the OHBE as a whole. For example, while Volume IV contains chapters on ‘Gender in the British Empire’, ‘Critics of Empire in Britain’, ‘The Popular Culture of Empire in Britain’, and ‘The British Empire and the Muslim World’, education receives barely two dozen references, buried in the text of other chapters. These offer glimpses into the development of literacy in parts of Africa, the expansion of state educational provision in Ceylon, and the concern of Nigeria's colonial authorities regarding the socially and politically destabilizing effects of the spread of Western education; but taken together they provide no overall analysis of colonial education policies, systems of schooling or curricula. Notwithstanding what some have criticised as its ultra-orthodox overall approach, with regard to this particular field the OHBE more-or-less accurately represents the current state of research. Despite a number of interesting forays on the periphery, the history of colonial education remains a vast and largely unexplored field of enquiry: the dark continent of imperial historiography.

The article considers the scientific basis for the study of the activities of university museums by Polish scientists. The main support for Polish university museums is said to be provided by the Association of University Museums (AUM). The author analyzes its research and popularization activities. The main purpose of the work is to study the history of the formation and development of six university museums of the Silesian Voivodeship in the Republic of Poland: “Museum of Geology of Deposits named after Czeslaw Poborsky at the Faculty of Mining and Geology of the Silesian University of Technology”, “Museum of the Faculty of Geosciences of the University of Silesia”, “Museum of Silesian Organs”, “Center for History and Traditions of the University of Economics in Katowice”, “Museum of Technology of the Silesian University of Technology” and the “Museum of Medicine and Pharmacy in Sosnowiec”. The author also examines their collections and exhibitions. Theoretical research in the field of studying university museums is considered in detail. For the analysis, scientific articles, books, brochures, mass media materials and information on museum websites are used in order to provide a complete picture of the historical and current state of university museums in the region. In the process of writing the article, the author contacted several guardians and university museum staff to clarify the dates and information provided in various sources. The work partially uses their responses received by e-mail, with the indication of information about the source.

The implementation of public schooling is usually understood as both an expressionand a means of nation-building. The formal organization of the school, i.e. thecurricula, teaching materials and the respective teacher’s education were interpretedas cultural-political arrangements deriving from assumed national convictionsabout the future of the particular nation-state and its ideal citizens. Against thisbackground, the entire learning arrangement of the curriculum can be seen asan instrument to educate pupils to become loyal national citizens. Of particularinterest is the curricular area which is explicitly dedicated to political education,i.e. civics. This paper focuses on precisely this area and its teaching materials oncivic education in a nation-state which comprises different nations organized bycantons, which cannot refer to a common religion, history or language and thusto a common culture. Examining two different cantons of Switzerland, this articledeals with the question of how nation-building may differ within the frameworkof one nation-state.Keywords: history of schooling; nineteenth century; textbooks; nation-building;citizenship education.

<p>In 2007 the special research program HiMAT - History of Mining Activities in Tyrol and adjacent areas, focussing on environment and human societies, was established at the University of Innsbruck as an interdisciplinary and international research project, sponsored by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). During late medieval and early modern times, the mining area of Schwaz in Tyrol became famous in Europe, due to the large scale exploitation of copper and silver bearing fahlores, going along with the development of high technologies in the field of mining and metallurgy. In that period, Schwaz was even called “the mother of all mines”.</p><p>In the area of Schwaz/Brixlegg the main focus of our research project is on early traces of copper mining and metallurgy dating back to the late Bronze Age. Such traces are still preserved, especially in boundary areas of the main ore deposits. On the basis of previous surveys a little valley called “Maukental” was chosen for archaeological investigations, because within this small area the entire copper production process of the late Bronze Age can be studied in detail. During the past two years, the Institute of Archaeology and Surveying and the Geoinformation Unit of the University of Innsbruck worked together in this area. One object of interest was a late Bronze Age ore dressing site situated in a former peat-bog. In this place the advantageous environment preserved fragile wooden structures and artefacts which could be digitally documented in the condition of retrieval.</p>

ResumoA química ensinada na sala de aula é considerada por muitos alunos desestimulante, tendo como principal fator a metodologia utilizada pelo professor. Nesse contexto, a História da Ciência é uma interface capaz de auxiliar o professor a desenvolver uma aula que estimule e desafie o aluno. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo demostrar a contribuição do ensino de química atribuído a Princesa Isabel por meio do conteúdo de estequiometria para melhoria no aprendizado da disciplina. O desenvolvimento do trabalho se deu por meio de um minicurso de formação de professor, que contou com a participação de graduandos do curso de Licenciatura Plena em Ciências Naturais com Habilitação em Química da Universidade do Estado do Pará (UEPA). Para coleta de dados foram aplicados dois questionários, o primeiro versando sobre o conhecimento prévio dos graduandos acerca da História da Ciência no ensino e o segundo sobre as contribuições do uso das aulas de química atribuídas à Princesa Isabel no conteúdo de estequiometria. Para o tratamento de dados utilizou-se análise textual discursiva (ATD) o qual a partir das respostas dos graduandos tiveram-se cinco categorias de análise. Constatou-se que os graduandos conhecem superficialmente acerca da História da Ciência no ensino e que após a realização do minicurso houve um maior interesse pela História da Ciência além da constatação que a mesma contribuiu na construção do pensamento crítico, na contextualização e na interdisciplinaridade, tornando o conteúdo de estequiometria mais prazeroso e significativo.Palavras-chave: História da Ciência; Aprendizado; Estequiometria.AbstractChemistry taught in the classroom is considered by many students discouraging, having as main factor the methodology used by the teacher. In this context, the History of Science is an interface capable of helping the teacher to develop a class that stimulates and challenges the student. The present work had as objective to demonstrate how the history of Princess Isabel and its relation with the chemistry, more specifically the content of stoichiometry, contributed for improvement in the learning of the chemical discipline. The development of the work took place through a mini-course of Teacher Training, which counted on the participation of undergraduates of the course of Full Degree in Natural Sciences with Qualification in Chemistry of the University of the State of Pará (UEPA). For data collection, two questionnaires were applied, the first one dealing with the students' previous knowledge about the History of Science in education and the second on the contributions of the use of chemistry classes attributed to Princess Isabel in the content of stoichiometry. For the data treatment, a discursive textual analysis (DTA) was used, which from the students' answers had five categories of analysis. It was observed that undergraduates know superficially about the History of Science in teaching and that after the realization of the mini-course there was a greater interest in the History of Science beyond the finding that it contributed in the construction of critical thinking, contextualization and interdisciplinarity, making the content of stoichiometry more pleasurable and meaningful.Keywords: History of Science; Learning; Stoichiometry.
