AbstractIn this paper I explore conceptions of the embodied mind or heart-mind in three major global traditions: the Chinese (Confucian and Daoist) teachings on inner cultivation, especially the integration of hot and cold cognition (Slingerland 2014); the idea of sophrosyne or self-regulation in accord with wisdom that has long been the chief educational ideal of the Greek cultural cosmos; and the Buddhist-inspired idea of mindfulness which is now finding increasing applications in education. All three, I suggest, agree on a for our contemporary debates crucial point: that the reliably “civil” person is one whose moral development has matured to a point where their intellectual and moral capacities, their heart and mind (or “heart-mind”), achieve a degree of balanced integration. As the commonalities of these traditions are coming into view to a global community of education, we have a perhaps a new opportunity to recover a deeper sense of education that goes beyond the mere technical and instrumental competence that now preoccupies educational thought in many national and international influential reform projects.

Parents are faced with a rather perplexing array of approaches to authority and discipline in the family. These approaches range from permissive perspectives, which emphasize freedom and warmth, to authoritarian perspectives, which emphasize control and compliance. Many parents search for a biblical approach to authority and discipline in the family. This article presents such an approach, both in terms of theological-theoretical perspectives and research addressing these perspectives. A biblical approach emphasizing dominion and service working hand-in-hand yields a more authoritative perspective. Research has demonstrated this perspective as beneficial to the child in the development of instrumental competence, self-esteem, responsibility, and moral maturity.

Instrumental Competence

The article discusses development of translator competences as the main task of translator trainers. Based on the accepted definition of the notion of “competence” and the modern reali-ty of the profession, the authors propose a model of professional translator competence as the general ability to perform translation/interpreting which includes specific competences: com-municative competence, linguistic competence, textual competence, technological competence, socio-cultural competence, instrumental competence, theoretical competence, and ethical competence. The authors argue that all specific competences are interconnected, and their combination determines the character of the professional personality of a translator / interpreter.
