This research explores key aspects of the life and work of the Chilean artist Celia Leyton Vidal (Santiago de Chile, 1895-1975). Celia Leyton’s research and painting work was mainly developed in La Araucanía, the southern Chilean region where she spent most of her adult life. As a prominent middle school teacher, art researcher and painter, Leyton made a significant contribution to the academic art domain, and was devoted to the promotion and dissemination of the Mapuche culture and values. Her prolific field work includes annotations, sketches, descriptions and analysis of her research experiences, all of which led to the creation of numerous paintings and documents, including catalogues and an autobiography. Fearing it was endangered in modern times, the artist devotedly dedicated her entire life and work to disseminate Mapuche culture, virtues and worldview. A first biographic review provided a general understanding about the painter’s life, her academic background, gender-related struggles, as well as the influential references that contributed to shape her social and ethical profile, and her visual representations and symbolism. Finally, we discuss a formal and symbolic analysis of a self-portrait, considered as one of her most important art works, and which reveals the true value of her artistic and cultural project

Cultural Sector

When we start thinking about culture, the following associations come to our mind: cultural policy, cultural sector, situation of culture, financing of culture, cultural education, etc. Culture constitutes an inseparable part of each country’s economy and politics. Important aspects of the functioning of culture in modern times comprise globalization, the appearance of cultural industry, creative industries and the so-called third sector of culture. The article discusses issues regarding key aspects of the functioning of culture in Poland, both previous and current forms of financing cultural activities as well as information on possible solutions for the future. The situation of artists and authors will also be discussed – the rules governing financing, remuneration and pursuing their own cultural-artistic activities.

Scientific Achievements

The article is an attempt to sistetically present Maria Montessori’s activities and scientific achievements through the prism of her biography and to indicate the reception of the Montessori Methods in Poland. The first part indicates the key aspects of life that influence the worldview and research interests, such as the position of director at Casa de Bambini or the likely affiliation to the Theosophical Society. In particular emphasizes theme of migration, resulting on the one hand from geopolitical reasons, and on the other hand from the idea of disseminating its concept of education. It shows the emigration aspect – departure from Italy to Barcelona, associated with the then forming fascist movement, and then, to the Netherlands, determined by the anti-republican coup of General Francisco Franko. The text deals with issues related to the scientific and didactic activity of M. Montessori, including numerous foreign trips, including to the United States and India to popularize the method. It also indicates the main research inspirations influencing changes in education proposed by the researcher, i.e. the Montessori Method – influences of researchers: anthropologist Giuseppe Sergi, psychiatrist Andrea Verga, neuropsychiatrist and pedagogue Jean Marc Gaspard Itard and Édouard Séguin. It characterizes particular stages of the concept, from moral upbringing, through the system of freedom, to the concept of cosmic upbringing. The second part of the article concerns the reception of the Montessori Method in Poland, starting from the pre-war period to modern times. It presents two currents – direct reception and attempts to synthesize freblizism and montessorian- ism in order to create a new, national upbringing system and indicates possible reasons for the rebirth of the idea after 1989, were related to the evolution of the educational ideal in Poland. It presents selected studies on the topic and points to the current activities of institutions and organizations that popularize the idea of Montessori. It presents manifestations of the contemporary, unflagging addressing with the figure of M. Montessori and her concept. The above considerations have been set in the context of today’s Polish pedagogy, determined largely by concepts that contest the current school system, largely congenial with the conservative educational ideology.

Key Aspects

The article describes and analyzes three key aspects of the personality of a primary school teacher as a subject of creative pedagogical activity - Requirements for the personality of a modern primary school teacher, subjectivity of a primary school teacher in scientific discourse and activity components as a basis of professional subjectivity of a primary school teacher. The purpose of the article is to summarize the experience of Western and Eastern European scholars on the modern view of the components and activities of the subjectivity of the teacher of this profession in order to increase its didactic and educational effectiveness. It’s proved that the subjectivity of the primary school teacher is defined as a complex functional autonomy of the system, which is formed, developed, built and transformed by him in the process of life, acquisition of pedagogical education and experience of pedagogical activity. Such subject-oriented manifestations of the teacher's personality as activity (ability to conscious self-determination of creative pedagogical activity) are described; productivity (its complex ability, on the one hand, to transform the educational reality in the classroom into a humane educational environment and the student in the subject of creative learning, and on the other - to constant subjective, professional and professional self-development and self-improvement in teaching, improving the results of their activities and themselves as a subject of pedagogical activity.

Ethnic Barriers

This paper examines changes in the practice of street culture among non-violent young adult men. Many individuals who participate in street culture behave and talk in a pretty rough way among each other and act almost aggressively. This is done for establishing a certain reputation and self-image that relates to street culture rules and it is even widespread among non-violent players of this milieu. A comprehensive look on their behavior includes modifications of street culture practices in adult life. Another aspect of the fluid nature of street culture are crumbling ethnic barriers in this milieu in Germany. The latter contributes to further modifications, for instance, in social contacts and language use. The author provides supportive evidence from the existing literature and field work he has done in Germany.

There is evidence to show that the institution of marriage, particularly customary law marriage, has served as an important framework for the extraction of conjugal labour as a factor in cocoa production since its introduction in the Gold Coast in 1879. This was necessitated by the abolition in 1874 of slavery and pawning, and the consequent need to replace an illegitimate and coercive system with a legitimate one. By virtue of a pre-existing customary obligation placed on women to assist their husbands in their economic pursuits, the marriage institution provided a basis for this transition. It has been argued, however, that some forms of economic relationship in Ghana revolve around expectations of reciprocity, and that human beings are not altogether altruistic in their dispensation of labour. Hence, women who provide labour support to their husbands expect to be rewarded with land or cocoa farms. In this article, I argue that the pivotal role of cocoa in the rural economy intensified the use of conjugal labour and the consequent expectation of land by wives from their husbands, resulting in a situation in which cocoa, marriage, labour and land rights eventually evolved as ‘institutional quadruplets’. Through case studies extracted from field work conducted in six communities in the Brong Ahafo, Western and Volta Regions of Ghana I demonstrate the continued interplay between these forces in modern times, and outline some policy-centred concerns for the future direction of the cocoa industry.

Key Aspects

Introduction. Different international organisms, including UNESCO, insist on the importance of collaborative teamwork to face today’s challenges. This skill should be fostered from the early stages of education, and consequently, it is particularly important that Primary School teacher training institutions draw up proposals and implement new practices which include this type of work. This paper attempts to describe how a group of Primary School teachers perceive cooperative learning based on their interview responses.Method. The methodology is based on a qualitative and descriptive approach using semi-structured interviews. The interview content was analysed using the content analysis procedure. The sample included 48 Primary School teachers in the Madrid area who had been interviewed previously.Results. The teachers’ opinions refer to three key aspects: evaluation of the cooperative learning competence; action taken by teachers related to this competence; training received in this competence. The research findings suggest that teamwork is seldom used, and when it is used, this is basically for motivational reasons. The low importance given to this competence in initial teacher training is also mentioned.Conclusion. The results suggest that the potential of collaborative work to facilitate learning and manage diversity is not generally understood.

New Discovery

Petrified wood specimens found at Maya archaeological sites are presumed to have been used during ceremonial fire-drilling. The source of this fossil wood has been an enigma, because in modern times no fossil wood localities were known to occur in Guatemala. In 2019, field work led to the discovery of two locations where silicified wood is abundant. Physical properties and microscopic characteristics of the fossil wood from the two sites have distinctive differences, suggesting that the geologic source of material used by the Classic Maya for cultural purposes can be recognized.
