Role of Parents in Religious and Social Education of Children

Education is the most important and vital insitutiton that is in charge of upbringing and development of the personality of adolescents and youth. The essential vitality of paying heed to the development of human personality and the importance of psychosomatic cultivation of the students have caused this important issue to be considered as one of the essential functions of the educational system. Thus conceived, the goals of higher education are realized when the coordination with other social institutions including family is reached. Most of the educational instructors, psychologists, sociologists, and so on and so forth, trace the origin of many social and behavioral problems of students back to the existing behavioral patterns at home. Accordingly, the role of family in education and its ideal methods has been continuously recognized by humans and has had great importance in human life in all ages. The negligence or ignorance of families regarding the issue of religious education has caused many psychological, social and religious harms. In the current essay, we seek to explain the religious and social education in family and the methods of religious and social education of the family.

Intergenerational transmission in consumer behaviour: An integrative conceptual framework and future research directions

The concept of intergenerational transmission has given rise to a heterogenous body of research in consumer behaviour. It has been mobilised in domains as varied as consumer socialisation and heritage disposition. This article proposes an integrative conceptual framework for the intergenerational transmission of consumer behaviour. This framework has emerged from an interpretation of Erikson’s theory of human personality development. Its first contribution is that it links the developmental concerns of the younger and older generations (learning, differentiating, taking care and preserving) around the notion of intergenerational capital. Its second contribution is that it puts forward the concepts of sociocultural, economic, psychological and genetic capital, which serve to enrich and clarify the nature of intergenerational capital. Finally, it opens up new research directions, including a much-needed focus on the central role of the ‘pivot’ generation (the 30–65 age group) and on taking into account the concept of attachment in the study of the effect of inherited psychological resources on the adoption of consumer practices.

Communication and the Shaping of Human Personality; Deconstructing the Nature/Nurture Debate in Light of the Menace of Street Children in Nigeria

At the core of the knowledge inquiry about behavioural differences is the nature versus nurture debate which has been central to the development of various theories of human personality. The metaphor of a pendulum, swinging back and forth between nature and nurture, has been used to depict the opinion of scholars and practitioners in the social sciences and psychology in this debate. Nature / Nurture debate seeks to proffer answers to the following questions: why do people differ significantly in temperament, approach to challenges and level of intelligence even when they are siblings sharing from the same pool of genes? The debate also seeks to understand why people with different genetic trait behave alike within a group. How does our physical environment affect human behaviour and what role does communication play in the development of human personality? In the context of street children in Nigeria, should we attribute human personality to nature or nurture? These are issues this paper seeks to deconstruct. Methodologically, the paper examines critical theories of human personality and utilises a mix of review of relevant literature, comments and observations to discuss the role of communication in the formation of human personality. It concludes that though nature contributes towards human behaviour and personality, communication, which is the tool that drives socialisation, is central to the development of personality among the street children of Calabar. Thus, if communication can influence personality negatively, then the street children of Calabar have a chance of being rehabilitated through a different kind of communication aimed at behaviour modification.

Autonomy, Competence and Relatedness: Single Case Study

Self-determination Theory (SDT) is a theory of human motivation, personality development and wellness in social contexts. It proposes that all human beings have three basic psychological needs – the needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness – the fulfilment of which is considered necessary and essential to vital, healthy human functioning. The present study assesses these three psychological needs of a 20 year old female using the Indian Adaptation of the Thematic Apperception Test (Choudhury, U., 1960). The results show the presence of the need for competence and relatedness, while the need for autonomy is only being partially fulfilled. There is presence of an environmental press of lack and loss and in spite of this there is hope and a striving to achieve her goals.

Полістратегіальні тенденції становлення й розвитку засадничих положень феномену "неперервна освіта"

The article presents the results of the genesis research of the phenomenon “continuing education”. The concept “polistrategical tendencies” is considered as a complex formation which connects philosophical, neurophysiologic, psychological and pedagogical content lines. According to these lines, phenomenon “continuing education” is disclosed in view of: development of human personality, the law of reproduction of society, reproduction of a human as an educated Human (philosophical content line); neuropsychiatric basis of human’s continuing education, engagement of neurostructures “which depend on the experience” in this process (neurophysiologic content line); processes of formation and structuring of human’s personal inner world during the lifetime (psychological content line); meaningful scientifc works in the period from the beginning of the 20th century — nowadays (pedagogical content line). Continuing education is being determined as strategical direction of the development of the world, European and Ukrainian’s systems of education. The aim of the article is to highlight the results of the research of processes of formation and development of the basic principles of the phenomenon “continuing education”. The essence of the concept “polistrategical tendencies” is revealed considering semantics of the concept “strategy”. Polistrategical tendencies are presented as a complex formation which connects philosophical, neurophysiologic, psychological and pedagogical content lines. Their analysis is aimed at a versatile study of processes of formation and development of basic principles of the phenomenon “continuing education”. In philosophical content line phenomenon “continuing education” is looked at in the context of the development of human’s personality (regular change of matter and consciousness, translational motion, transition from one state to another, process of changing object’s structure and changing the way of its functioning), the law of the reproduction of society and reproduction of a human as an educated Human (Homo educates). The content of neurophysiologic content line reveals neuropsychological basis of human’s continuing education, involvement of neurostructures in this process, “which depend on the experience”, three functional blocks of brain, ability to adapt to any life situations is laid in the human genotype, typical for brain probabilistic activity. Psychological content line presents phenomenon “continuing education” from viewpoint of process of formation and structuring of human’s personal inner world during the lifetime. In pedagogical content line processes of formation and development of basic principles of phenomenon “continuing education” are studied as derivatives of formation and development processes of the phenomenon “education” and as self-sufcient processes which are certifed by signifcant developments from the beginning of the 20 century till nowadays. The essence of the problem which is called “human’s gap” is revealed and continuing education as the way of its solution is reviewed.

Experience care: efficacy of service-learning in fostering perspective transformation in tourism education

ABSTRACTThis article presents the findings of a study, which explores the benefits of a service-learning (SL) approach from the perspective of students. The SL approach employed in this study combines theoretical discourse in human relations and personal development with active engagement in community projects. We collected 61 reflective essays from undergraduate students at an Austrian university about their impressions of the lecture and of the two community service projects they participated in. The thematic analysis of the textual data revealed that the SL approach adopted in our course largely benefitted the students. Challenge, positive emotions, affiliation, and learning are the four key dimensions which characterise the students’ experiences. Amongst the learning outcomes reported by the students, SL facilitated self-awareness, self-confidence, self-esteem, stress-resistance, enhanced communication, and problem-solving skills. Despite some challenges, SL proves to be a promising experiential pedagogical approach, which, we argue, is highly relevant to tourism management students.

Ecocriticism and Anthropocentrism in Yann Martel’s Life of Pi

Yann Martel’s novel Life of Pi, the winner of numerous prestigious awards, was described as “very bold and extreme with a wonderful central idea” (Irish Examiner 2002). The “central idea” of the novel has been described differently by readers and literary critics around the world. For many, it is Pi’s relationship with the tiger, Richard Parker; for some, it is the decentering of humans in favour of animals; and yet for others, the central idea of Life of Pi lies in Martel’s unusual treatment of religions and their role in human life. In this paper we argue that that the main idea of the novel is Martel’s ecocriticism of humanity in general, and especially the tendency of humans to put themselves at the center of any story, whether about animals or gods. Martel creates a tangled web of many different stories which define Pi’s life in order to prioritize the role of fiction in the development of human personality and dissect the relations between the human, the natural world, and the text. Although he favors the animal story, the final chapter reveals that the only story humans find “real” is the one in which animals are seen as anthropomorphic.

Research on the Development of the Preschool Children’s Musical Ability

The paper mainly discusses the development of children's musical ability from three aspects: the ability of children's singing, the ability of rhythm and the ability of music appreciation. It concentrates on the development of the preschool children’s musical ability. With the methods of field survey, logic analysis, and literature review, the paper make the conclusion that the main task of preschool education is to improve the children's perception of music, appreciation and music performance ability. For preschool music teaching, the important things is not only the musical techniques, but also to meet the special spiritual demand. Music education is conducive to the all-round development of human personality, edify sentiment, to establish a positive and optimistic attitude toward life, pay more attention to enhance the humanities accomplishment. Elegant music is an important source of personal perception of aesthetics. Therefore, for the growth sensitive period for young children, multi-faceted and multi-level musical ability training is particularly important. Music is a natural expression of human thoughts and feelings, is the means of emotional catharsis. Music can be defined as specific combinations of sounds to reflect the emotion and the objective reality of a category of art; it is a kind of human spiritual products. Music is composed of organized musical auditory imagery and shape the image expression of emotional and social reality of life, a kind of art form.

Kate Chopin’s The Awakening: an exploration of Edna Pontellier’s transition during her Mid-Life Crisis

In the context of 1890s hegemonic ideology of fin-de-siecle, America has witnessed the emergence of a new breed of women writers who dared to challenge and dismantle the rigid system of normative ethics and disregard the propriety code of society imposed by patriarchal doctrines. Among these forerunners was Kate Chopin, whose controversial texts broke new thematic ground at that time. Feminist critics have explored the portrayal of The Awakening’s protagonist as an icon of nineteenth-century women who struggled for autonomy and sexual freedom in an inhospitable Victorian society, but Edna Pontellier’s desires and actions appear to be more of manifestation of her psychology than of any need to change society’s attitudes towards women. This study intends to explore the psychological transitions of Kate Chopin’s The Awakening heroine in her middle age and to trace the stages in which Edna Pontellier experiences the feelings of Mid-Life Crisis through the eyes of Jung, Erikson and Myers Briggs model of human personality development.

Autonomy of human mind and personality development

Abstract A psychology of human individual development is proposed which argues against its reduction to the description and control of human behavior or to cognitive psychology in the model of information and communication technology. Instead the author’s earlier conceptualization of the autonomy of human individual development is now elaborated further. The foundational premise to this end rests in Macnamara’s (1999) explication of Brentano’s (1874) notion of intentionality, i.e., referring to something as an object. It reveals the access of the mind to the ideal objects and to the kinds which provide for identity and individuation of the objects of human cognition (Macnamara and Reyes, 1994). It converges with the anti-irrationalism postulate which was put forward by Ajdukiewicz (1934). The reduction of the mind in psychology to something else proves unable to meet the anti-irrationalism postulate, regards perception and cognition to be of one piece, and it excludes intuition and ideals. In contrast to this, the notions of the spontaneous and self-sustainable perception and the self-determined mind open a way for psychology without the reduction of it to anything else. The same route has been taken earlier (Niemczyński, 2007) with a study of personality development from adolescence to the late ages.

Forschungsmethodologie zum Wesen und Inhalt der beruflichen Identität der Hochschullehrkräfte

Research on the development and self-realization of human personality is based on the perception of humans as philosophical beings. The question surrounding the „human being“ has become a question about the survival of humanity. In research centres in Europe, the USA, Canada, China, Australia the balance between biological, psyological and social components in human development is becoming an evermore active research focus. A research group from the Academy for Teacher Education and Educatioanl Administration Riga and the State University Smolensk (Russia) analyzed the professional identity of post-sendary teachers from two cultures with the aim of analyzing the nature of the professional identity of pedagogues and to determine a research methodology. Methodology in pedagogy involves teaching about the untiy of theory and research methods. The structure of scientific methodology is composed of four levels: 1) general theoretical, philosophical, methodological principles and approaches; 2) general pedagogical methodological principles; 3) regularities and principles of the sub-field of pedagogy; 4) principles of selection and use of research methodologies for a specific theme, based on empirical data. The methodological sources of this research are theoretical literature, dissertations in pedagogy as well as individual experiences of pedagogical and scientific activities. The research results show that the professional activity of post-secondary teachers and the quality of societal development influence and connect with each other.

Personality, Language and Distractions in Society

While there is a never-ending tussle between ‘nature’ and ‘nurture’ over the share of influence each has on human behaviour, one could find an interesting way of looking at things from a psychological angle that takes into account not rational actions, rather it focusses on something that is often overlooked – ‘distractions’. The reason for such distractions could be many, all pointing towards one dominant fact that human society is a complex system with innumerable degrees of freedom. The limiting factor of human agency could be found in the form of language, an idea that was well articulated by Ludwig Wittgenstein. A careful analysis of the development of human personality shows that what goes down as individual is scarcely so. Social institutions act as rationalizing agents that supply an identity to a new-born baby even before it is born. In a civilized society, most human interactions take place in three distinct settings for a growing individual – the family, the school and the economy or the world of professional employment. In the Parsonian scheme of society, especially social structure, there is a movement from particularistic to universalistic in terms of the nature of human interactions. The power of language acquisition which is natural to every human being does not equip one with the required vocabulary in order to facilitate interactions. It is learnt through interactions over a period of time. It is through language that one develops a particular world view. But the process should not be seen as a smooth, streamlined process. There are ‘chaotic’, noise-like disturbances called ‘distractions’. This paper looks to analyze some of the positive and negative aspects of the phenomenon that go into shaping human personality.

PENDIDIKAN FILSAFAT UNTUK ANAK? PENDASARAN, PENERAPAN DAN REFLEKSI KRITIS UNTUK KONTEKS INDONESIA

This article argues for the importance of philosophical education for elementary school's students in Indonesia. Philosophy can be understood as value education and also life education. Both are very important for the human's personality development. Therefore, ideally, this kind of education should be provided since childhood age. But, philosophy has different teaching method in compare to other sciences. It asks the children to think for themselves and try to find answers for their questions independently. It should not be a burden for children that already have loads of subjects to learn. The program philosophy for children should also bear in mind the existing cultural context that already exists in Indonesian society.

Spiritual Change Outside Institutional Religion as Inner Work on the Self: Deep Within and Beyond

The present study employed a qualitative phenomenological method to explore how processes of spiritual change were experienced outside institutional religion. In-depth interviews were conducted with 27 Israeli adults (13 men, 14 women; age range 25–66; M = 45.3) who experienced such a change. The findings underscored the pervasiveness of the concept of work, which was extensively discussed by all the participants and which reflected the meaning they ascribed to their experience of the change process. Spiritual work was experienced as effortful, demanding, and involving a gradual non-linear process without a clear end-point. Spiritual work on the self was perceived as involving two complementary processes: uncovering and cleansing the self—the Spiritual-Psychological facet—and expanding it and rising above—the Spiritual-Transpersonal facet. The discussion suggests that the interplay of psychological and transpersonal spiritual work makes up an alternative narrative of human personal development where modern values of work sustain a postmodern change process.

Psychomotor development on preschool child through movement games

Problem statement: the game, considered as a form of general and motor activity, is the main instrument in the formation and development of human personality. Purpose of study: the research aims to see the degree by which movement games teaching, applied within the Romanian educational program raises the psychomotor skills of preschool children: coordination, balance, rhythm, precision of movement, laterality. Methods: in conducting this research were used the survey method, the direct and indirect observation method, the measurement and evaluation method and the statistical and mathematical method. Data was collected during 18 months from 136 children, aged from 3 to 5 years (±3 months) and enrolled in 3 kindergartens. A custom developed Protocol was applied to the experimental group, while the control group received the classical educational program. Findings and Results: Descriptive statistics for the collected data indicate a statistically significant effect for the following variables: vertical jump F(1,133)=1.563, p=.213, MSE=15.824, η²=.012; speed running F(1,134)=7.206, p=.008, MSE=8.320, η²=.051. Independent t test results showed significantly higher average values for the experimental group versus the control group, for the variables: vertical jump t tests in the intermediate stage (t=2.668, p=.009); speed running t tests in the intermediate stage (t=2.261, p=.025) and final stage, (t=3.906, p=.001). The obtained results show a positive effect due to the Evaluation – Intervention interaction, significantly higher for the variables: vertical jump η²=.11, running speed η²=.11, trunk bending η²=.16, trunk extension η²=.23.Conclusions and Recommendations: educational sport activities and movement games raise the level of driving skill development and psychomotor qualities, based on the biological factors - motor education interaction and a greater involvement in the correct performance of sport activities.

Provision of Economic Security by Creating Innovation Network of Transnational Cluster Initiatives

1. Introduction Modern linguistics has gained a wealth of experience (OR: a great deal of) experience studying phenomena related to the description of human's occupation and his professional discourse, as well as professional term-system description. But nowadays scholars note modern shift to study languages not only in itself and for itself' but to studying it close connection with human consciousness, his cognition, culture and professional practice, i.e. shift toward closely connected to cognitive language study anthropological and civilizational linguistics (see such scholars as E.S. Kubryakova, L.V. Ivina, I.G. Ruzin, G. Lakoff, M. Johnson, A.G. Shaikhulov, Z.R. Pal'utina). So, the problem of a new approach to terminology study appears very important nowadays. The purpose of this article is to outline our experience of professional terminology study and description according to these modern science trends. Thus, for example, linguists state that scientific phenomena should be studied first and foremost according to their role for a human being, their assignment for human personality development and improvement (1, c. 212). Basing on this message we suppose that oil and gas sector terminology system should reflect true and clear understanding of the level of human knowledge of oil and gas industry.. Being constantly subjected to human purposeful activity, it constantly keeps being shaped and altered under the influence of the serving its needs science development level. The term system under study enables us to ascertain specific oil and gas field terminology characteristics every new term unit of which is to acquire similar structural and semantic characteristics. The study investigated the hypothesis that the methodology of cognitive-ideographic description is applicable for modern terminology systems and allows scholars and subject specialists to systematize terminology, identify structural, semantic, nominative, motivational and functional characteristics of composing them terms. 2. Method We can justify our idea of oil and gas term unification into a separate investigation object by our observation that the elements of this term-system represent structurally and communicatively interacting term units. Term units of the term system under study have common logical, structural and semantic features, uniform word form building and derivational characteristics stating logical and semantic relations between them and affecting term system formation. Studies modern lexicology stress the idea that full and thorough study of a language lexical system is possible only by compiling its thesaurus, where it is possible not only to outline paradigmatic relations but also show typical combination models of lexical units (Moskvin (1997), Shaikhulov (2001), Tabanakova (2001) and others). In their ideographic studies these scholars point out that not any single study of a language lexical system can fully depict its dividedness. This task can only be solved by compiling ideographic dictionaries the very core of which is based on the principle of studying the full volume of language lexical system, concurrently reflecting the basic principles of its formation--integrity, continuity, hierarchical pattern and inclusiveness. Ideographic dictionaries, as the scholars' state, make it possible to represent the whole aggregate of semantic fields, lexical-semantic groups and other lexeme amalgamations their co-relation and hierarchical organization (3, p. 43-57; 4, p. 5-22; 5, p. 234; 6, p. 20 and others). In line with the above we propose our holistic and systematic approach to building ideographic oil and gas business term unit's paradigm. Scholars believe ideographic dictionaries alongside with other types of dictionaries (analogical, associative, synonymic, semantic, subject-thematic and others) to be a means of a particular terminological systems term units description and at the same time enable us to represent the term system as a set of concepts each having own specific structure and comprising lexemes of relatively equal semantics. …

INOVASI KURIKULUM DALAM PENGEMBANGAN PENDIDIKAN (Suatu Analisis Implementatif)

The curriculum is one of the important components that are crucial in the education system of units, and is a tool to achieve educational goals as well as guidance in the implementation of teaching in all types and levels of education. As a consequence, implementing curriculum in schools should manage well, so that the learning outcomes will be more effective, to realize it, it requires good management. This curriculum management meant that the educational process will take place in schools can be directed and coordinated in a systematic manner to achieve educational goals that have been set. In the management of the curriculum very necessitated a review-a review of theoretical and practical curriculum that can be managed always in line with the development of human life, science, technology and personal development subjects students. to address any problems that arise in the school environment, especially in the field of teaching and learning, it is highly charged policy principal as manager to always involve personnel-school personnel such as teachers, school committees, teachers bimpen and all parties involved in the implementation of the curriculum, to perform periodic review of the curriculum by involving all stakeholders, the curriculum review purposes, as an effective goal to improve learning outcomes are maximized.
