“Will I or Won’t I Be Sorry?”—Qualitative Research on Emotional Reactions of Secondary School Students in Poland after Resignation from Religion Lessons

There is an empirical underestimation with regard to the study of the emotional states of young people. In Poland, an increasing number of secondary school students are deciding to stop attending their schools’ religious lessons. Of these, 57 students shared their experiences during structured interviews that were subjected to interpretative phenomenological analysis. Before the young people taking part in the interview were asked about their emotional state, they were previously given the opportunity to express their attitudes towards their school’s religious lessons. The students had various emotional reactions after dropping out of their school’s religious lessons. In many cases, the students had difficulty noticing and naming their emotional states. These students were in the majority. Other students did specify their emotional states related to this decision. The analysis of these emotional reactions reveals students’ attitudes towards secondary-school religious lessons. The results of the study may prove to be an important voice for those responsible for the substantive design of religious lessons at schools. In addition, young people’s inability to name their emotions may prove to be an alarming fact for mental health professionals.

Wolność religijna w ośrodkach izolacji nieletnich w świetle polskich regulacji

The subject matter of this publication is the issue of religious freedom of juveniles placed in isolation centres, with particular attention to the competitiveness of the entities that co-shape the decision on the scope of the right to religious practices and services in such centres, i.e., the child themselves, their parents or guardians and the administration of the correctional institution. The paper considers the importance of a child’s religious freedom and their right to self-determination. It goes on to consider the rights of parents or guardians to raise their child in their faith and culture, both in light of Polish and international regulations. This is a particularly momentous problem, especially in the event of incompatibility between the child’s will and the parents’ decision in this regard. On the one hand, the legislator has decided that a child of a certain age is sufficiently aware to be responsible for their actions, while on the other hand, the child cannot yet decide on their own to participate in religion lessons and religious practices and services. Finally, it is attempted in the publication to decode the scope of the authority of the administration of correctional institutions and juvenile correctional centres on the subject of religious freedom of their residents. This is an issue relevant not only to the field of criminal and juvenile law, but also to human rights.

ЗВУКОВАЯ КУКЛА: КАНТ, ЕВРЕИНОВ И ХЛЕБНИКОВ

Nikolai Evreinov’s report “The theatricalization of life. Ex cathedra” (1911) and Velimir Khlebnikov’s manifesto “Our Basis” (1919) demonstrate a similar idea of the beginning of human civilization. Both authors insist that the performative function of language preceded the communicative function, that performativity was the ground for complete understanding, and that present-day process control requires the attainment of a special speed of oral speech, through which the alienation of the primordial state is constructed. The symbol of performativity for both becomes a scrap of cloth that transforms the one gifted with it into a sound puppet, so that language is interpreted along the lines of the puppet game. The origins of such commonality are found in Kant’s treatise “The Conjecturable Вeginning of Human History” (1876). The assimilation of Kant’s ideas is assumed, not directly, but through the interpretation of the Fall in the fundamental theology and middle school religion lessons. The anthropological interests of Evreinov and Khlebnikov proved productive in challenging the dream of synthetic total art.

Upaya Meningkatkan Minat Belajar Siswa Dengan Model Pembelajaran Problem Based Learning Pada Materi Kemampuanku Terbatas Kelas VII di SMPN 1 Sanaman Mantikei

Interest is a persistent interest or tendency to pay attention to or be involved in something because you realize the importance or value of that thing. Learning models have a very important role because learning models are a means of conveying lesson material.

Efforts to Improve Learning Outcomes of Islamic Religion Lessons for Class III Students Through the Role Playing Method

The problems and the perspectives of modern religious education in Swedish primary schools

Primary school religious education is important and understudied in modern educational practice. Classes on religious education are used to impart knowledge to pupils about the world’s main religions. Knowledge about specific religions, or how to collaborate with representatives of different religions, is mostly absent. Unfortunately, teachers of religious education often do not use their classes as a tool for their students’ moral and spiritual development. It is also one of the problems for Swedish schools and it has to be solved because Sweden is a very multicultural country with representatives of many religions; and one of the tasks of modern schools is to show how to be tolerant of others. This research aims to highlight problems and develop ways of teaching religious education in primary schools through theoretical literature analysis on the research topic. Also, we provide didactic exercises which teachers can use during religion lessons to diversify them and make it more accessible to students.

Moral Education in Maltese Kindergarten State Schools: A Focus Group

Malta has become a diverse country and educators are facing challenges in adapting their pedagogies to their current students. Given that parents were opting their children out of Catholic religion lessons, the ethics curriculum was introduced in the primary and secondary classroom. However, no direction was given regarding moral education in the kindergarten classroom with children aged 3-5. This study seeks to explore how kindergarten educators are transmitting morality in their classroom and what impacts these transmission practices. This descriptive research used cluster sampling. Seven kindergarten educators whose ages range between 30-60 participated in two two-hour focus groups representing the diverse demographic and needs of the students in the colleges of Malta and Gozo. Given the flexibility and organisational approach, thematic analysis was used to code the focus groups. The major findings are that teachers beliefs followed by school climate are salient factors in the impact on moral educational strategies.

„Nieobecny dyskurs” o potencjale politycznym edukacji religijnej w Polsce

The issue of the “political turn” in the context of religious-pedagogical reflection in Poland should be considered – in some sense – as “absent discourse”. Despite this, one of the leading tasks of the Catholic Church, and thus of religious education in Polish schools, is to shape believers so, that they are not only good Christians, but also citizens, aware of their rights and obligations. Based on this assumption, in the first step of the theoretical analysis, the relations between the Church itself and politics were presented. Then, the “broadened” and at the same time pro-democratic horizon of the religion lesson was outlined. Finally, the religious and pedagogical perspectives were presented, not only directly related to the political dimension of religious education in Poland, but also challenging it in terms of content, structure and concept.
