The goal of this paper is to identify the features of visual activity and conceptual approaches to the process of depiction. The research was carried out through observation of students’ work at the Moscow Region State University (MRSU) on the creation of paintings within the traditions of realistic depiction. The article analyzes the tendencies typical for visual activity, as well as the main problems arising in the process of artistic work, gives examples from practice, suggests ways to overcome such problems and to master the algorithms of “analytical depiction”. Author’s revisions of the following concepts are introduced: “depiction” as a method of “analytical painting”, when the result of the work is the realization of the conceived, and “copying” as drawing without comparing the qualities of the depicted, when the result of the activity is random and is not the artistic image that was intended to be created. The results of the research contribute to the theory of teaching professional art creativity, and to the understanding of theoretical problems of art and arts education. The materials can be used in teaching practice.

The study is devoted to the organization of the teaching/learning content of visual art and self-expression process in practice. The article, based on theory, explains creative self-expression in the context of pupil's meaningful learning, based on the new education policy and the developed guidelines in basic education. The individual experience of prospective primary school teachers and their understanding of self-expression in visual art has been clarified during the reflection and pedagogical observation in the study process in methods of teaching visual art which led to stating the research problem. The theoretical account offered in the article reveals pedagogical possibilities for prospective teachers to organize purposefully self-expression classes in visual art during the teaching practice so that the pupil, learning visual art without professional literacy in art, improved his/her transversal skills acquiring the experience of self-guided learning, critical thinking and problem-solving, innovation, cooperation, and civic participation.

Abstract As part of the trend toward internationalization of higher education, governments and universities have introduced policies to encourage the expansion of English-medium instruction (EMI). However, top-down policies do not necessarily translate to teaching and learning practices. This article provides a case study examining the implementation of undergraduate EMI engineering programs at a state university in Turkey to explore the gaps that exist between national- and institutional-level EMI policies and classroom-level practices. Data were collected through policy documents, classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers, and focus group discussions with students. The findings suggest that the implementation of EMI varies across classrooms, even within the same university department. Despite policies that envision one-language-at-a-time instruction, the EMI lecturers in this study varied in terms of language preference and teaching practice in their EMI lectures. Implications are discussed with respect to policy planning, teacher training, and the expansion of EMI across university contexts.

Nossa comunicação é rica em imagens, sejam estáticas ou animadas. Considerá-las na prática docente é relevante a aprendizagem. Assim, os Desenhos Animados podem servir de aporte rico para uma linguagem lúdica nas aulas de Geografia. O presente estudo é uma síntese do trabalho de conclusão de curso apresentado na Especialização em Fundamentos da Educação, da Universidade Estadual da Paraíba-UEPB. Foram utilizados Clássicos da Disney e As Espiãs como recurso didático nas aulas de Geografia em uma turma de 2o ano do Ensino Médio, não apenas como forma de ilustrar, mas também de dinamizar o conteúdo estudado - Sistemas Econômicos -, levantando debates e realizando atividades, para o desenvolvimento do senso crítico diante das imagens. Além de fornecer uma ferramenta lúdica ao Ensino Médio, tal estudo aponta a relevância do professor mediador no desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico, para que o aluno se torne um protagonista de suas vivências e cidadão participativo. PALAVRAS-CHAVE Recurso didático, Ensino de Geografia, Animações.   LUDICITY IN HIGH SCHOOL: Geography lesson through animated drawigs ABSTRACT Our communication is rich in images, whether static or animated. Considering them in teaching practice is relevant to learning. Thus, Cartoons can serve as a rich contribution to a playful language in Geography classes. The present study is a synthesis of the course conclusion work presented in the Specialization in Fundamentals of Education, of the State University of Paraíba-UEPB. Disney Classics and The Spies were used as a teaching resource in Geography classes in a 2nd degree of High School, not only as a way to illustrate, but also to streamline the content studied - Economic Systems -, raising debates and carrying out activities, for the development of critical sense from images. In addition to providing a recreational tool for high school, this study points out the relevance of the mediating teacher in the development of critical thinking, so that the student becomes a protagonist of his experiences and a participative citizen.

The present study sought to scrutinize undergraduate EFL students’ learning autonomy in a state university in Indonesia. This study employed a triangulation study of mixed-method design by distributing questionnaires and conducting interviews to get quantitative and qualitative data. The questionnaire was distributed to 40 second year participants enrolled in listening, speaking, reading, and writing for academic purposes classes, whereas 15 participants were selected for the interview Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used to analyse the data collected from the questionnaire and the interview. Findings revealed that the level of students’ learner autonomy was classified as moderate level of autonomy. This indicated that Indonesian undergraduate students were considered somewhat autonomous learners. In addition, the Indonesian undergraduate students defined learner autonomy as independent learning with or without the teacher’s assistance, students responsible for their own learning, and learner autonomy was the student’s self-awareness and self-initiated to learn outside the classroom to find ways of learning and collaborate with others. The study recommended that teachers should consistently develop learner autonomy in their teaching practice.

This chapter explores a range of encounters between modernism and school-children. Focused most sharply on the work of Marion Richardson, teacher of art at Dudley High School for Girls, it ranges across arts education policy in Britain in the early twentieth century and some other initiatives designed to get abstract art into the classroom. Richardson, in particular, has hardly been attended to by modernist scholars, but her work at Dudley, and later at the London County Council, was crucial in transforming the teaching of visual art across Britain.

Dispositif of creativity, gender and the precarisation of artistic work The aim of this article is to open up theoretical perspectives to the research of the status of the artists and especially on its gender analysis. My principal points of references are the writings of a British cultural theorist Angela McRobbie and her concepts of disposi- tif of creativity and postfeminist sexual contract. The Foucauldian concept dispositif of creativity is used to illustrate how the features of artistic working conditions are in uenced by the wider and creativity-emphasizing current of changes taking place in the general sphere of production, therefore making the working conditions of the people working in the artistic sphere even more precarious. At the same time the model of “working like an artist” becomes a prominent feature not only in the creative sector but in other industries as well. All these features and transitions are also gendered in manifold ways. The concept of postfeminist sexual contract implies that the importance of young and highly educated women is constantly growing so that the so-called “top girls” have now become the ideal worker subjects of the post-Fordist era. This is not to say that gender inequality issues are disappeared, even though there is a certain kind of a post-feminist illusion of equality tak- ing place across the society. Because of this “postfeminist masquerade” the inequalities are being reshaped and therefore becoming more dif cult to grasp. In this article I will present the main features of these two concepts and use them to analyze the changes taking place in the Finnish context of artistic activity by referring to previous empirical research ndings implemented in the eld. As a conclusion I suggest that the increased amount of self-em- ployers and free artists in the Finnish artistic eld goes hand in hand with the growing importance of individualization implemented by the dispositif of creativity. This develop- ment also leads to new forms of gender inequality, such as the growing importance of the precarious or ‘untypical’ working position of working as a free artist, self-employer or entrepreneur as an explanatory factor of the income gap between male and female artists. Keywords: dispositif of creativity, precarization, gender, artistic work
