O APARELHO BUROCRÁTICO EDUCACIONAL: A ORGANIZAÇÃO DO ENSINO PARA O MUNDO DO TRABALHO

ResumoTomando como ponto de partida a noção de burocracia no campo do marxismo tem-se como tema central deste artigo a apresentação e análise da legislação educacional brasileira como forma de compreensão até mesmo do lugar da História neste cenário, além do entendimento do currículo desta disciplina no ensino básico. A hipótese que se pretende sustentar aponta para a centralidade das alterações constantes em benefício dos interesses das frações burguesas que têm influência no aparelho burocrático do Estado, neste caso, no aparelho burocrático educacional, sobretudo por meio da alteração da noção de planos de Estado para planos de governo.Palavras-Chave: Educação; Ensino de História; Burocracia; Legislação.

The hypothesis that we intend to support points to the centrality of the constant changes in favor of the interests of the bourgeois fractions that have an influence on the bureaucratic apparatus of the State, in this case, on the educational bureaucratic apparatus, mainly by changing the notion of State plans to plans of government.Key-Words: Education; History teaching; Bureaucracy; Legislation.

History curricula in high schools, after reform in 1932, published in „Wiadomości Historyczno-Dydaktyczne”(1933-1939)

When Poland regained independence it was crucial to unite school systems of all polish lands under one governance, as well as to prepare projects of school acts, that would apply to all country. Most important was to unify system, its organization, language of lectures etc. in the whole country. In accordance with Ustawa o ustroju szkolnictwa dated 11th March 1932 school system was to be based on seven-year 3rd degree public school. It was assumed, that schools would prepare talented children and adolescents to promotion from one type of school to the other, as well as to promotion from lower degree schools to higher degree schools. „Wiadomości Historyczno-Dydaktyczne” were one of the journals published between 1933 and 1939 by Polish Historical Society for history teaching. Editor-in-chief was Kazimierz Tyszkowski, who after 1937 functioned together with Antoni Knot. Articles concerning teaching of history in secondary school, especially concerning introduction of new programs, were published in „Wiadomości Historyczno-Dydaktyczne”. Taking into account the need to organize school system after more than 100-years dependence from invaders governance, should not be surprising, that it was developed fast, and not always proposed and implemented solutions were supported by the public, teachers and experts, what can be noticed when analyzing content of particular articles.

More than a matter of qualification: Teachers’ thoughts on the purpose of social studies and history teaching in vocational preparation programmes in Swedish upper-secondary school

The aim of this article is to increase our understanding of how history and social studies teachers in vocational preparation programmes (VET) in Sweden relate to the obligation of preparing students for their future lives as citizens. Previous research on VET programmes has primarily emphasised predetermined roles of education. Different critical perspectives have established how different VET practices contribute to reproducing specific values and a type of knowledge that leaves less room for students to act as independent subjects. In part, the findings of this article contribute to problematising such a description. In a series of interviews, teachers expressed what can best be described as a clear will to prepare students for a future as broadminded and tolerant citizens. The multi-perspective approach emphasised by these teachers not only illustrates the socialisation and qualification functions of education, it also gives prominence to the importance of student subjectification. Furthermore, this article stresses that the teachers do not view the question of the purpose of their subjects in terms of either/or. Rather, it suggests they see their obligations as a matter of professional judgment and customised responses to unique didactic situations.

Active learning in history teaching in higher education: The effect of inquiry-based learning and a student response system-based formative assessment in teacher training

Information and communication technology has produced changes in the demands of modern-day society (e.g., most jobs will require advanced digital skills in the short term). In addition, nowadays, new active methodologies using emerging technologies are being put into practice. However, little research has been conducted with pre-service teachers, particularly in the teaching of history. This quantitative study analysed the impact of the implementation of a mixed methodology using inquiry-based learning and a student response system (SRS) for the formative assessment of the academic achievement of 240 prospective primary teachers of history. The application of this mixed methodology shows better academic results than traditional lecture-based teaching. In addition, students’ scores achieved through use of the SRS predicted the scores of male students in the final exam; however, this was not in the case for females. Implications for practice or policy: The introduction of information and communication technology into history teaching brings active learning environments in higher education. Pre-service teachers can improve their knowledge of history through the implementation of inquiry-based learning methodology and SRSs. Our results indicate that an SRS can be an effective tool for teachers to carry out students' formative assessment. Teachers can effectively use SRS scores to predict male students' performance in history, but not female performance.

Didactic Perspectives on the Interpretation of Historical Sources in Schools

The purpose of this article is to offer a clear and concise overview of the didactic perspectives on the interpretation of historical sources that have been developed in recent years. To this end, we have considered it appropriate to dedicate a few paragraphs to the problems of current historical education and to the proposals that seek to remedy this situation. Likewise, we have specified the scope of historical thinking in history teaching and presented the main research associated with it. The exposition of these details has served as a preamble to the central development of the topic. In the main section, we have presented the treatment of historical sources as a methodological process, intimately related to their interpretation, which accounts for the skills and abilities that the student must develop for the satisfaction of historical research problems. As conclusions we emphasize the importance of the use of historical sources in the disciplinary and methodological understanding of the subject by the students. Finally, regarding the methodology used for the elaboration of this work, we have resorted to the bibliographic analysis of various sources of information, including theses, research articles and books, in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic we have proposed to investigate.

Comparative history in humanities’ teaching in Ukraine

History as a Magistra Vitae encompasses a lot of mutually complementing research and teaching subjects. It should be taught step by step from local and simple items up to global generalizations taking into account the age, educational level, and professional interests of audience. The pupils at the primary and secondary schools learn at first about their native towns or districts, later in more detail about their motherland as a whole, and common patterns of Europe with just basic names and data of the World. The higher schools are to combine minimal information of history necessary for any civilized human being with emphasized attention at the respective fields’ past separately for future lawyers, physicians, engineers, etc. In Ukraine as an extremely exhausted nation it is crucially important to break deeply rooted complex of inferiority, to prove indivisibility of domestic history with East-Central and the rest of Europe. We should overcome as soon as possible a situation when large territories had been devastated by Holodomor and colonized by alien settlers from other parts of the Soviet Union after this genocide. The newcomers’ offspring gradually will get accommodated to their new homeland yet during Transition they are an easy target for destructive impacts from abroad. To counteract subversive propaganda, we need highly educated teachers and lecturers. The pro-European liberals in Ukraine had been exterminated by notorious totalitarian purges or forced to exile and replaced by mercenaries of Russian revanchist forces. The huge traditional Universities hardly can be reformed and modernized, as they inherited stereotypes and prejudices from the past. Newly created, seemingly more flexible and certainly less corrupted higher schools attract capable and ambitious people yet their alumni feel temptation of more easy opportunities. Ukraine needs patriots now more than ever desperately fighting for survival against aggressor in current Hybrid war. The prospects look optimistic, yet for the time being it requires a lot of efforts. History teaching becomes still more important to promote unity of interdependent philological, historical, political, and state making generations of national rebirth aimed at the repatriation to modernity.
