We present the study of one of the great projects of the Barcelona publisher Editorial Labor, namely the Diccionario de Pedagogía (1936), from a new perspective: the analysis of entries on the teaching of scientific subjects. The axis of the methodologies proposed by the work is the study of living things in their natural environment from an ecological perspective, both outside the classroom via excursions and inside through aquaria, terraria, herbaria and school kitchen gardens. These methodologies can be seen to have been be influenced by New Education principles, the English Nature Study movement and the Spanish Institución Libre de Enseñanza. Coordinated by Luis Sánchez Sarto, the Diccionario de Pedagogía recorded the state of pedagogy and education worldwide, counting on a hundred or so anonymous authors most of whom were German, Austrian, American or Spanish. John Dewey, Vilhelm Rasmussen and Georg Kerschensteiner are the dictionary’s pedagogical references in science teaching. In our article, we present arguments suggesting that Margarita Comas Camps and Rafael Candel Vila were the authors of the dictionary’s two entries on teaching methodology.

Ecowomanism focuses on the relationships between humans and nature through a spiritualized lens. Three core principles of ecowomanism are Livingkind (all living things are of a type), Aliveness (life pervades all creation, visible and invisible), and Luminosity (all living things are filled with light and spirit). Ecowomanism makes a unique, spiritually infused, ecological activist praxis possible. Three notable exemplars of this praxis are Sister Chan Khong (who established Sweet Potato Farm in France as part of her mindfulness-based peace activism), Kiran Bedi (who elevated the dignity of prisoners through her beautification of Tihar Jail/Ashram in India), and Wangari Maathai (who conscientized members of the Kenyan military by helping them to see the value of protecting the natural environment and planting trees as part of the Green Belt Movement).

The railway station is the most important chronotope of the 20th century. In times of industrialisation, economic development, military confrontation between major powers, the images of a steam locomotive, locomotive, and train met in a large body of literary and journalistic texts. The study of the railway discourse is based on complex historical and semiotic meanings, which allow concluding about the properties of the Russian cultural world, studying it from a new perspective. In the process of the research, the methods of the theoretical level were used: the study and generalisation of scientific works, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction. The authors conducted a logical analysis of the collected material, developed new categories of the image of a train as a “fiery demon”, “a locomotive of progress”, “house on wheels”. Semantic models of perception of the train as a cultural space were interpreted. A discursive analysis of ideas that influenced the semantic part of the concept of “railroad” in Russian culture was conducted. It was concluded that the image of a train in literary creation has a dual character. Already at the stage of the construction of the railway, an infernal model of its interpretation as a “serpent train/dragon” was formed, capable of destroying all living things and taking them to the kingdom of death. At the same time, there are examples of a different type of interpretation of the image of a train. Some researchers insist on its connection with the archetype of “mother”, the idea of movement in a circle, return. In the post-Soviet space, the image of a train has not lost its significance. It is still assimilated by mass culture, it enters into everyday life, without losing its ambivalent character.

The report also underlines the fragment of training contents reflecting the particularity of institution’s programme and the integrity of naturalistical training. According to the analysed attitude of values the natural world is conceived as undivided and inte-gral. Cultural values are engrained in children’s senses on the basis of naturalistical training. This capacitates children to become mature personalities, thus being able to apply acquired knowledge and competences, to solve problems of every-day life, to cultivate self-confidence, to feel responsibility and to be able to adjust to the changeable environment. Key words: programme of pre-school education, model of naturalistical training, fragment of training con-tents.

This chapter presents the role of nature and nurture in shaping the behavior of human beings toward sustainability identifying instances of both dramatic extinctions of species and collapse of entire societies, as well as successful, peaceful, and healthy adaptation of human communities to their environment, in an attempt to presents the imperative conditions necessary for attaining sustainable development. A very long and intriguing history reveals that from the nature's point of view humans are rather destructive, interested in their own short-term survival. Nevertheless, the same long history of human species bears valuable lessons and examples of adaptive behaviors grounded by nurture, and based on these examples, the chapter aims at advancing a new perspective of thinking sustainable development that could lay the foundation of a new education curriculum.

Ecological problems are some of the most important items on the agenda of humanity in the 21st century. Adding spiritual depth, ethical point of view and basic human traditions to the contribution that human beings provide to ecological problems through intellect will provide realistic and lasting results. In the Palaeolithic Age, where man is under the domination of nature, he owes gratitude to the divine power of nature and worships its elements. With the beginning of industrialization, myths were only old-time stories for humanity. Due to the holism rule of ecology the salvation of nature may be possible by all the living things in the ecosystem behaving in the same way and with the same interaction. Today, there is a need for nature education in which we can teach all mankind that protecting a tree is no different from protecting a forest. Myths in the world we live today remind us of the spiritual, inner richness that nature provides to man; is an effective educational material in the sense that their ancestors can repeat their life integrated with nature. Mythology should be included in nature education. For a qualified nature education, we need the magical atmosphere that mythological stories will create. In addition to this, Duha Kocaoglu Deli Dumrul Epic will examine the historical ecological perspective of the Turkish community and the messages they give to solve their present ecological problems.

RESUMOO texto aponta três aproximações para discutir a questão do fenômeno religioso: a primeira, de caráter histórico, considerando que desde a antiguidade clássica até o horizonte medieval, coube à Teologia enfocar este objeto. Já na modernidade o fenômeno passou a ser discutido pela Teodiceia e pela Filosofia da Religião e no contemporâneo o fenômeno religioso passa a ser discutido no campo da Ciência da Religião. Na segunda aproximação, encontram-se os temas do contemporâneo que, aparentemente são adversos à própria religião, quais sejam: o Ceticismo, o Agnosticismo, o Ateísmo e a Anti-Idolatria. A terceira e última diz respeito ao campo específico da Educação e pergunta pelas possibilidades de diálogos no universo escolar, a partir das visões de mundo e diversidades culturais e curriculares vigentes na escola, afirmando o Ensino Religioso como área de conhecimento, sem perder suas raízes epistêmicas e sem correr o risco de tornar-se tão somente um conjunto de atividades.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Ensino Religioso - Ciência da Religião – Metodologia do ensinoABSTRACTThe text outlines three approaches to discuss the issue of religious phenomena: The first, considering a historical perspective, understanding that from classical antiquity to the medieval horizon, theology was responsible for focusing this object. In modernity the phenomena began to be discussed by Theodicy and the Philosophy of Religion. And in contemporary the religious phenomenon begins to be discussed in the field of religious studies. In the second approach, there are the contemporary themes, that are, apparently, adverse to their own religion, namely: Skepticism, Agnosticism, Atheism and Anti-Idolatry. The third and last concerns to the specific field of Education and asks about the possibilities of dialogue in the school universe, from the worldviews and cultural and curriculardiversities prevailing at the school, claiming religious education as a field of knowledge, without losing its epistemic roots and without the risk of becoming a set of activities solely.KEYWORDS: Religious Education - Religious Science - Teaching Methodology.
