The aim of the article is to show the meaning of practicing silence, enhancing the quality of the reflective skills of the reflective practitioner. These skills – being, speaking, disclosing, testing, and probing – reveal one’s reflective competences, which require time and silence to be developed. The reflective practitioner is a person who can creatively interact with their true-self, others, the world, and God. Therefore, he or she finds time to distance themselves from many stimuli that bombard the mind and the outer environment and treats silence and quietness more as a challenge, rather than a threat to their own existence. Silence, perceived as a space for finding a new quality of one’s identity, is presented in the paper in different perspectives. The meaning of listening silence is especially worth noticing in the domain of education, which is preoccupied with large streams of information coming from varied sources that demand to be acquired. That is why this goal seems important for those who must cope with matters connected with teaching, learning, upbringing, and development. I attempt to deal with this briefly in a theoretical, practically-oriented analysis by suggesting some solutions covered in the material below.

Chapter 1 explores the geometrical quality of Wordsworth’s and Coleridge’s imaginative commitments. Focusing principally on The Pedlar, the Guide to the Lakes, and Coleridge’s Notebooks, the chapter locates the origins of Wordsworth’s and Coleridge’s geometric visions in a divinely relational language of shapes which they intuited as children to describe the world about them and which moulded their shared Pedlar consciousness in the 1790s. It proposes that Wordsworth and Coleridge sustained the mathematical expressions of the Pedlar’s ethico-theological vision in their dealings with nature and the mind, perceiving in the material world a language of geometric forms which held it together.

The Impact

There are at least three areas in which technology can impact education: teaching, learning, and assessment. Teaching, when viewed as communication of information, has been transformed by the technology revolution. Word processing, multimedia, distance learning, and access to the World Wide Web are some prominent examples. The impact of technology on learning, defined as knowledge or skill acquired by instruction or study, has been less dramatic, in part because of our limited understanding of cognitive processes. Some forms of assessment, the collection of evidence of learning, have benefited from technology, such as item analysis of multiple-choice questions. To be effective, the focus on instruction must start with the learner and, from there, consider what should be done to enhance learning. An emphasis on what is technologically appropriate, rather than what is technologically possible, will improve the quality of both teaching and learning.

Abstract: Education is a process to humanize human beings. Therefore, the methods employed by the teacher should provide valuable characters since students make the teacher as the central figure in the process of learning. Moreover, the world’ figures that serve valuable morals for students are currently in crisis. In this void, therefore, the field of education should be triggered by improving the quality of teacher’s performance,especially for the religious teacher. The religious teacher is highly demanded to give valuable characters in all aspects of life. Hence, the educational process is not only to transfer knowledge but also to build moral values   to students. Teacher’s modelingplays a vital role in the teaching-learning process. In accordance to this, the religious teacher also functions as a spiritual father for students who provides knowledge, moral values, and justification. In this case, the teacher requires not only to have adequate pedagogical skills, but also to be able educate students well. This is due to the fact that education is aimed not only to transfer knowledge, but also to build valuable character,that is the teacher’s ability to provide model of valuable attitude and positive values to students.

The current situation in the world involves changes and corrections to the existing rules for studying. The transition to online lessons has formed a complex configuration: on the one hand – the technical side with many opportunities, on the other hand – tactics and learning strategies that need to be adjusted and synchronized according to the requirements and capabilities of online learning systems, platforms and programs. The objectives of the article do not include the description and comparison of such virtual learning platforms as, for example, Zoom and Microsoft Teams, but it is impossible not to mention them, because such platforms are modern tools for online learning and need to be used. The article highlights various nuances of teaching methods. In the real audience, the learning process is somewhat different, other systems are involved in communication, in the understanding between students and teachers, in control. I would like to emphasize that we are talking about teaching Ukrainian to foreign students of the preparatory department, about groups where there are students of different nationalities, religions, ages, basic training, as well as different temperaments, interests, life circumstances, and often such groups have no common intermediary languages. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on psychological, psycholinguistic, neurophysiological factors and taking its into account, it is possible to improve the speech, communicative, cognitive competence of students, increase the quality of learning. As for online learning, competencies develop very heterogeneously, depending on the physiological characteristics of the mind and memory, as well as on how honestly and responsibly students perform an independent part of the work. Understanding, working out and mastering different blocks of material takes more time, so it is important to rely on the conclusions of psychologists. Here the teacher's observation of the peculiarities of students' perception and timely influence on various factors, for example, on the motivation to study the material, curiosity, plays an important role. To improve the results in the development of the educational complex, the use of mnemonic techniques and technologies is suggested.

This paper discusses the need of co-operative learning in Indian classrooms in order to promote active participation of all students in the classroom. In order to prepare the students for life and higher education, the gaining and improvement of important mental skills such as the effective usage of the mind, critical thinking, and problem solving are necessary so that they can face the challenges of life actively. In recent years, teaching has been confronted by demands for higher standards and better pupil achievement in several parts of the world. Researchers have suggested a shift from teacher-centred instruction towards more active participatory learning methods as one way to improve the quality of the learning process. The search on co-operative learning is overwhelmingly positive, and the co-operative approaches are appropriate for all curriculum areas. The present paper reflects that co-operative learning makes teaching–learning more satisfying, momentous, enjoyable and effective.

Abstract Spirit and body of the man living in the world of modern technology are discussed in the paper. The entire life of modern man is under the pressure of rapid and far‐reaching changes in economy, organisation, education, self‐image. The relations between the spirit and the body on the one side and illness and health, money, media, narcissism, morality and national identity on the other side are studied in the article. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between the world of modern science and technology and the quality of life focusing on the mind and body. The fact emphazised in the conclusion is that the nature of Western ‐ European civilization has been changing with predominant turning to the SELF, to the absolute interest of an invidual in terms of materialism. The result of this civilizational turn is jeopardizing the spirit and the body of modern man.

AbstractRecent tensions within Anglicanism have brought about an intense re-visiting of some of the debates that surrounded its emergence as a worldwide Communion in the nineteenth century. Then, as now, there were a number of suggestions for stronger structures at the centre. With Lambeth 2008 and the recent ACC 14 (Anglican Consultative Council 14), the Anglican Communion has effectively reaffirmed its commitment to a voluntarist, relational way of being together; dealing with differences through mutual self-limiting rather than by central control. Beyond specific proposals, such as that for an Anglican Covenant, this continued commitment to a ‘polity of persuasion’ will require time and patience as well as a quality of ongoing engagement to succeed. What is at stake is more than Anglican unity. It is the capacity for Anglicanism to witness with integrity to the world about living under God in community, sharing power, and co-existing interdependently on a tiny and increasingly conflicted planet.

This Epilogue summarizes the main points of the book's eight chapters. It emphasizes a biopsychosocial model for understanding, treating and possibly psychiatric disorders. It also points out that major forms of mental illness are disorders of this brain as well as disorders of the mind and the person relations to others and the world. Advances in neuroscience may lead to better explanations of the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders and their philosophical implications. But these advances may not completely account for the experience of living with these disorders. Given the global burden of disease from mental illness, it should receive priority in medical research over other types of disease to improve the quality of life of the people affected by it.
