This article deals with the moral values and social issues described in the school story of the famous English writer Sarah Fielding “The Governess, or the Little Female Academy”, which is considered one of notable works written specifically for children in the Age of Enlightenment. The article examines some of the components of the genre “School Story” – the traditional opening and description of the daily routine of an educational institution for girls, plot twists, certain characters, etc. At the same time, following Sarah Fielding’s ideas, the author scrutinises the issue of children's reading and the need to discuss its content with adults. Using the examples of the wards' stories about their life before school, the problem of interpersonal relations of characters is analysed – within a family, with parents, brothers and sisters, other relatives, governesses and servants; whereas outside it, with representatives of various social groups. Much attention is paid to the depiction of behaviour etiquette and constant striving for perfection, as well as control over various emotions. As a result of the study, it is concluded that school stories are useful for young readers due to their topicality and positive general attitude, which allows adolescents to overcome numerous life difficulties during the formation and development of their personalities.

Abstract This article focuses specifically on two examples of fantasy stories and their translations into Russian: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (Lewis 1950), a classic English fantasy story, and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (Rowling 1997), a modern blending of fantasy with the traditional English school story. The analysis shows that the approach to translation is largely random. In the translations of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, there is some evidence of simplification as a strategy, and some confusion over the appropriate translation of cultural items in the translations of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Generally, however, the translators are shown not to have attempted to situate the stories in a Russian context, and have retained intact both the cultural backdrop and the moral values put forward in the works. A study of the reception of such works by young readers would provide valuable information about the success or failure of the translations discussed in this article.

This paper examines girls and power in British co-educational boarding school stories published from 1928 to 1958. While feminist scholars have hailed the girls’ school story as a site of potential resistance to constricting gender roles, the same can not be said of the co-educational school story. While the genres share many tropes and characterisation, the move from an all-female world to a co-educational setting allows the characters access to a narrower range of gender roles, and renders the female characters significantly less powerful. The disciplinary structures of the co-educational schools, mirroring those in real life, operate in a supposedly progressive manner that in fact removes girls from access to power.

Academic Rigor and Dedication to Competitive Sport in Young People 12-18 Years: Major Social IssuesQuantitative study with the aim of linking the academic performance of students who are high-level athletes in Catalonia (Spain) and who do not have any institutional support (high-performance centre, reduction of subjects, etc.) or belong to any educational institution with adapted curriculum (90-95% of households), compared to sedentary students who play sports only occasionally.The study divided students into two groups by age: 12, 14, 16 and 18 years old (secondary school). The general group (GG) was made up of students who did sports at school, did not participate in major competitions, and the weekly training requirement did not exceed 3 hours (N = 262). The group of athletes (AG) is made up of students who at least competed for the Championship of Catalonia (swimming and basketball) and the weekly training requirement exceeded 4.30 in younger students (N = 212). The questionnaires were constructed in order to gather academic information, highlighting the grades of the subjects for the second evaluation of the 2008-09 academic year and full-time sports data for training (day session, hours, competition) and schooling (public or private).We found a significant correlation (0.99) in comparing the evolution of differences between the grades of the groups. Supporting an extraordinary demand for training, and increasing with age, student athletes have better academic performance throughout secondary education. However, this trend is broken in high school, coinciding with the highest dedication to training.Two other important considerations are highlighted in the study: first, the GG presented inactivity levels which increase linearly with age and this is more prominent in females, and secondly, the enrolment of the school is basically AD private state-assisted and not public system, which can make us think about whether the family ideology also influences the sports options for children.

Проблема агрессивного поведения стала объектом широкого научного и практического обсуждения. Предлагается анализ отдельных аспектов содержания феномена агрессии, выделяются особенности подростковой агрессии. Приводятся результаты длительного изучения уровня агрессивности подростков и молодежи. Отмечается, что нарушения в сфере межличностных отношений подростков играют приоритетную роль в развитии отклоняющегося поведения; общение формирует конкретную модель поведения, оказывая порой влияние на совершение действий не всегда кон структивного характера; развитие навыков позитивного общения находится в поле влияния субъектов образовательной практики и является важнейшим фактором предупреждения агрессии подростков. Педагогически целесообразными действиями в части позитивного личностного становления является оптимизация взаимодействий участников образовательного процесса (детей, родителей, педагогов, социальных партнеров). Основными направлениями педагогической профилактической работы, с точки зрения авторов, являются: учет особенностей семьи каждого подростка как необходимое условие эффективной работы педагога; менеджмент классной ситуации и наблюдения за отношениями детей, что дает возможность предотвратить проявление агрессии в группе; обеспечение безопасности в образовательном учреждении посредством формирования социально-психологического комфорта учеников и педагогов; проецирование через СМИ и интернет конструктивных образцов мирного урегулирования конфликтов; интегрирование детей в систему социальных связей как в школе, так и вне, применяя социально-педагогические технологии; целенаправленное воспитательное воздействие на молодежь и работа с семьей в направлении устойчивых ориентаций на правомерное поведение рассматривается как значимый фактор предупреждения агрессии. The problem of aggressive behavior has become the subject of extensive scientific and practical discussion. The article offers an analysis of individual aspects of the content of the phenomenon of aggression, highlights the features of teenage aggression. The results of a long-term study of the level of aggressiveness of adolescents and youth are presented. It is noted that violations in the sphere of interpersonal relations of adolescents play a priority role in the development of deviant behavior; communication forms a specific model of behavior, sometimes influencing the performance of actions that are not always constructive; the formation of positive communication skills is in the field of influence of subjects of educational practice and is the most important factor in preventing adolescent aggression. The authors point out that pedagogically expedient actions in terms of shaping positive development in adolescents is to optimize interactions between all participants in the educational process (children, parents, teachers, social partners). The main directions of pedagogical preventive work, from the point of view of the authors, are: taking into account the characteristics of the family of each teenager as a necessary condition for the effective work of a teacher; management of the classroom situation and monitoring the relationships of children, which makes it possible to prevent the manifestation of aggression in the group; ensuring safety in an educational institution through the formation of social and psychological comfort of students and teachers; projecting constructive models of peaceful settlement of conflicts through the media and the Internet; integrating children into the system of social ties both at school and outside, using social and educational technologies; purposeful educational influence on youth and work with the family in the direction of stable orientations on lawful behavior is considered as a significant factor in preventing aggression.

El proyecto Flores de Metal aborda el problema de la comunicación desde la perspectiva gráfica en temáticas sociales. El objetivo de este proyecto, consistió en desarrollar herramientas educativas audiovisuales abordando la problemática del maltrato a la mujer en una institución educativa y su comunidad incorporando metodologías de innovación social y co-creación. No se desarrolla hipótesis al inicio de la investigación, por ser un proceso de marcado enfoque cualitativo donde las variables son vistas en su contexto de forma holística, como expresan Hernández, Fernández y Baptista (2016), pero esta se enuncia al momento de realizar las conclusiones. Para este cometido se escoge una muestra no probabilística de conveniencia, por tratarse de una población con características de acceso restringido (menores de edad). Se realiza un estudio transversal; utilizando para la comprensión de los conocimientos y actitudes frente al tema por parte de los actores, los instrumentos de recolección de datos diario de campo y cartografía social. Luego inicia el proceso de co-creación que es el punto de inflexión principal de la investigación-creación, como mencionan Puello-Socarrás & Rodríguez (2017). El resultado son tres recursos audiovisuales, generados en conjunto con los talleristas, donde se instalan capacidades de realización audiovisual y reflexiones sobre temas de desarrollo humano que potencian las temáticas de contenido social no solo en los talleristas sino también en las comunidades de influencia, proponiendo una nueva discusión y un cambio social en los actores.

AbstractThe Metal Flowers project addresses the problem of communication from the graphic perspective in social issues. The objective of this project was to develop educational audiovisual tools addressing the issue of abuse of women in an educational institution and its community by incorporating social innovation and co-creation methodologies. No hypothesis was developed at the beginning of the research, as it was a process with a marked qualitative focus where the variables were seen in their context in a holistic way, as expressed by Hernández, Fernández and Baptista (2016), but this was stated at the time of making the conclusions. For this task, a non-probabilistic sample of convenience was chosen, since it is a population with restricted access characteristics (minors). A cross-sectional study was carried out, using daily field data collection instruments and social mapping to understand the knowledge and attitudes of the actors. Then the co-creation process began, which was the main turning point of research-creation, as mentioned by Puello-Socarrás & Rodríguez (2017). The result was three audiovisual resources, generated jointly with the workshop participants, where audiovisual production capacities and reflections on human development issues were installed, which enhanced social content issues not only in the workshop participants but also in the communities of influence, proposing a new discussion and social change in the actors. Keywords: Creation, visual works, verbal and visual communication, narrative, creative research.

Unfortunately, racism, cultural and religious discrimination, homophobia and other forms of discrimination remain prevalent in society. Instilling the key tenets of ethics and morality is important in helping overcome these issues. This starts at an early age with the education of schoolchildren and Yoshio Oshitani is a researcher based at Mukogawa Women's University, Japan, who is exploring moral education and social issues in schools. Oshitani's focus is on cultivating moral judgement, moral sentiment and motivation to practice morality among schoolchildren. Ultimately enabling them to be raised to live independently with moral practice. To do this, it is important to address existing issues in the Japanese school system and introduce a focus on moral education. As such, Oshitani and his team have developed a class whereby one hour a week schoolchildren use textbooks and other teaching materials to understand moral values that can enable us all to live better and consider moral events and situations from multiple perspectives. The development of each child is monitored through individual evaluation, (evaluating areas of growth) with their sense of moral values considered. Ultimately, Oshitani believes that if children can be introduced to morality from an early age, this will lead to a better, more accepting future society.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether and to what extent different forms of symbiotic relationships (named mutualism and collaboration) within a usage centre lead to different levels of value in use for its resource integrators. This study focusses on the educational services provided in deprived neighbourhoods to potentially vulnerable adolescents. Design/methodology/approach This study applies a two-phase sequential exploratory mixed-method design. The first phase included a qualitative study that involved both the focal (the students) and peripheral resource integrators (the students’ parents) of a Brazilian educational institution that had exceptional results. The qualitative findings were used to build a comparative multi-group survey with four subgroups in which 530 peripheral resource integrators participated. Findings A mutualistic educational institution in which the participation of students’ parents is mandatory creates more value in use than collaborative institutions in which parental participation is optional. In the context of educational services for vulnerable adolescents, value in use is echoed in the coexistence of families, greater caring about the students, and the encouragement from the adolescents’ positive beliefs about education and respectful relationships with others. Social implications Initiatives aimed at addressing social issues regarding children or adolescents in situations of vulnerability will achieve better results if their families are contemplated and involved. Originality/value This study is the first to empirically test Kleinaltenkamp et al.’s usage centre framework (2017). In so doing, the study advances the understanding of how the interdependence of actors in the usage processes leads to value creation for vulnerable populations.
