The Gray Nine and Parallel Personality Patterns: Big Five, Dark Tetrad, and a "Well-Rounded Personality".

The vast literature on personality psychology generally focuses on neutral or socially beneficial personality traits such as the Five-Factor model (e.g., agreeableness, conscientiousness) or "dark" traits such as Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and everyday sadism. However, the current synthesis of the literature indicates that the distinction between benign, malign, and neutral personality traits and facets is partly misguided. In fact, there are many objective and subjective measures that indicate that high agreeableness is not beneficial, while moderate grandiose narcissism is. Many, if not all of the traits are rather gray and socially and personally desired outcomes indicate that people who aim for a well-rounded personality should typically be clustered in the middle of the various personality spectrums. In addition, many of the personality traits are characterized by parallel patterns of good/bad relations to social and personal outcomes.

The influence of cognitive style differences on foreign language learning strategies

Finding out how different cognitive styles affect the strategies chosen for learning a foreign language was the driving force behind this research. The rapid pace of globalization has made fluency in more than one language an essential component of every well-rounded person’s toolbox. However, in the actual learning process, there are significant achievement differences between students, which is not only related to language talent, but also influenced by individual cognitive style. By reviewing the relevant literature, this paper gives a clear definition and classification of cognitive style, and gives an overview of foreign language learning strategies. On this basis, 150 foreign language learners from different schools were surveyed by a combination of questionnaire and interview. Students’ use of various tactics for learning a foreign language is influenced by their cognitive styles, according to the results. Metacognitive methods are more commonly used by students who are independent in their subject, whereas field-dependent students depend more on tactics that involve social and emotional support. Furthermore, the study concluded that in order to maximize the effectiveness of instruction, educators should use more individualized approaches that take into account individuals’ unique cognitive styles. In addition to offering concrete recommendations for enhancing the current state of foreign language instruction, this study offers a fresh viewpoint on the unique characteristics of language learners.

Study of Stable Social Relations in the Family in the Works of Eastern Thinkers

In this article, since ancient times, advanced persons in society, scientists, scholars and sages have paid particular attention to the issues of family and marriage. Abu Raikhan Beruni, Abu Ali ibn Sina, Abu Nasr Farabi, Yusuf Khos Hajib, Kaykovus, Alisher Navoi, Abdullah Avloni, Abdurauf Fitrat, many great scholars and scientists of the East left behind many scientific and practical ideas about raising a well-rounded person in their family and family social relations. These ideas are great importance for modern science and practice. Eastern thinkers of the past emphasized the importance of the family and family education in the maturity and development of a well-rounded person. In particular, they paid special attention to the fact that interpersonal relations in the family, the moral formation of the father and mother have a special place in the upbringing of the child, that the integrity and harmony of the family depend on all the family members. The Avesta, a book of Zoroastrianism written 2700 years earlier, states that the family is a sacred place, and that husbands and wives are equally responsible for the stability of family relations, especially in raising children. The following is said about what depends on the peace and well-being of the family: “Porso, if a person restore a house and allocates a place for fire, his family, his wife and children, if his house is filled with good things and his wife and children live comfortably, if there is faith, constant fire, and other things in abundance in his house, that address is respectable”. At the same time, it is explained that what should be paid special attention to ensure positive and stable relations in the family. According to the Avesta, it is better for the father to be the leader in the family.

Converging cultures? A comparative analysis of South Korea and Sweden’s national curricula, 1980–2018

Relating to world culture theory, this article aimed to discern similarities and differences between the South Korean national curriculum (1981, 2015) and the Swedish national curriculum (1980, 2018) and a set of complementary documents, both more broadly and with special emphasis on middle school level mathematics education. The findings suggest that the latest curricula accentuate knowledge and skills. However, Sweden’s national curriculum underlines knowledge and values, while the South Korean counterpart stresses character education and a ‘well-rounded personality’. Mathematics education has not changed much since 1980 in both countries. However, cosmopolitan tendencies are more present in the latest Korean curriculum. Overall, an unequivocal converging effect has not been discerned.

Educating the whole person: Broad extracurricular involvement and prevalence of purpose and thriving among college students in China.

College students in China can choose from a wide variety of university organized extra-curricular activities (EAs), which are intended to enrich and deepen the learning experience, and reflect an educational policy goal to cultivate the whole and well-rounded person. These activities are also consistent with another policy goal, which is to foster optimal student outcomes like life purpose development. This study examined associations between EA involvement and life purpose and associations between EA involvement and thriving attributes of resourcefulness/resilience and life satisfaction among 332 undergraduate students enrolled at 20 universities across China. Measures of EA involvement, purpose resourcefulness/resilience, and life satisfaction were adapted to the Chinese culture, language, and student population. Four clusters of students emerged, representing varying degrees of well-roundedness according to their EA involvement. Patterns of associations examined between and within clusters supported the general hypothesis that more frequent and well-rounded EA involvement is positively associated with purpose and life-satisfaction, but not with resilience/resourcefulness. The significance of the findings for future research and practice are discussed.

How Do We Inhabit Openness?: Rethinking Volunteerism in the Context of Whole Person Education

— In this paper, I aim to advance a reframing of our understanding of “whole persons” in the well-established paradigm of Whole Person Education. At a time characterized by rising social conflicts and schisms, what would be an appropriate humanistic reimagination of a so-called well-rounded person? Drawing on the work of anthropologist Tim Ingold and using youth volunteerism as an exemplar of social practice, I propose the idea that a whole person, if achievable, is someone who inhabits “the open” as an unfolding, interconnecting, vibrant, and enjoyable horizon. Further, it is suggested that this open horizon moves with, and is moved by, strangers. It is hoped that an epistemology of the open that embraces stranger relationality, in the form of volunteerism or any other related social practices, will help us move toward a new whole personhood.

Making of a Great Filipino Nurse Educator

The research study aimed to identify the defining characteristics of a great Filipino nurse educator which have provided input in developing a theoretical model of a great Filipino nurse educator. This research is a qualitative study which employed a grounded theory methodology toward theory development. The following findings generated 26 categories and 9 themes from the responses of 53 nursing students and professionals. Findings revealed that the great Filipino nurse educator is defined to be a world-class (World-Klas) nurse educator who is highly qualified (Kwalipikado) from having education, experience, physical and mental fitness and being a lifelong learner. He is competent (Natatanging Kakayahan) in teaching, leadership and managerial roles, and engages in research and accreditation. He possesses caring (Mapagmahal) behaviors that are shown through communication, passion, compassion, commitment, inspiration and empowerment, transcendence, nurturing and belief in his student’s capabilities. She is equipped with well-rounded personality (Mabuting Pagkatao) comprising of positive traits, versatility, resilience and sense of humor. She is spiritual (Maka-Diyos), patriotic (Maka-Bayan), a role-model (Idolo) and catalyst agent (Tagasulong ng Pagbabago). The road to greatness of a Filipino nurse educator is all attuned with the strongest core of being spiritual and patriotic that makes it very Filipino which demarcates a great Filipino nurse educator from what is not. Each characteristic is significant because all are important in describing what a great Filipino nurse educator is. One characteristic cannot be absent nor removed for it will not decipher the puzzle of what completes the defining characteristics of a great Filipino nurse educator. Total greatness is not an end product; it is an ongoing, deliberative process. Teacher’s greatness is a lifelong pursuit. Greatness is the result of many factors.

Художественные тексты в контексте культурологического образования (несколько замечаний о современной восточной литературе)

This research focuses on modern foreign literature which introduces readers to the socio-cultural field and widens the outlook of future professionals. Cultural knowledge allows to embrace both the values of the past and the best achievements of the present, which contributes to the formation of a well-rounded personality. Fiction is an important component of cultural knowledge thanks to its polyfunctional nature — it is a harmonious synthesis of science, technology and art, it facilitates personal growth and self-fulfillment. There are several strategies represented in foreign fiction. The article focuses on the following aspects vividly described in the 20th century literature: self-realization, self-development, self-discovery, the identification of “the other/ another” in social dimension, the relations between the person and the family, the person and the society as well as person to person relations. The evidence is taken from Eastern literature, which is less known to Russian readers. The article features examples that, in our opinion, highlight the socio-cultural issues that concern modern student audience. The article concludes that the world of fiction shapes a citizen and a highly cultured person. It develops heuristic thinking, esthetic taste and ideals and facilitates a more effective adaptation of a university graduate in market economy. Not only fiction as a whole, but also everyday realia provide for an integrated function of fiction in the educational process. As a whole, fiction forms students’ need for self-realization and self-assertion as an individual creative agent of culture, as a definite personality.

Lin Yutang as My Role Model / transl. from Engl. by A. Skomorochov

Lin Yutang is for me a role model of how to live in our contemporary global world. He lived and was educated in Asia, America, and Europe, and he tried to integrate the best virtues of all these cultures. He never forgot his Chinese roots, but in his philosophy of life he was truly cosmopolitan. Lin put the special emphasis on education. Working himself as a teacher for many years, he criticized the formal education in our schools, which is based on memorization and repetition, as well as on constantly testing and grading students. Lin argued that the proper task of education is to stimulate thinking and the development of an independent personality. He was also opposed to over-specialized education and urged for the development of a well-rounded human being. A properly educated and cultivated human being shows good taste in all situations and conduct. The best way toward developing such a well-rounded and cultivated person is through the reading of classical literature. Lin himself was an admirer of classical literature and a person who wrote essays, short stories, and novels. In his view, literature evokes our sense of wonder at the universe and at human life. Lin’s philosophy of life and education can help us make our students — and ourselves — better human beings and better citizens of our globalized world.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE CURRICULA OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR LOWER GRADES OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA AND GERMANY

This paper is intended to confirm the theoretical viewpoints, but also open new chapters in the field of advances in theory and practice of planning and designing physical education classes. The physical education curriculum ought to encapsulate the fundamental postulates of this field which comprises the educational and anthropological components. It is founded on practical application. The educational content is focused on developing functional knowledge, which together with the abilities and achievements attained should nurture a well-rounded personality in a child in terms of physical and mental health and interpersonal skills. The steps in designing a physical education curriculum are specific and consist of a number of stages which are dependent on a multitude of internal and external factors. One of the key prerequisites of a successful design is abiding by certain principles. It is worth mentioning that several approaches are common in tackling the issues and questions encountered while designing the physical education curriculum. This is the reason why the core premise in defining the issues in this paper is the difference or similarity of curriculum design in the two countries. I have therefore analyzed and compared the content of the global, operative and executive curricula in a number of schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Germany. Whether these curricula accomplish the objectives set, which curriculum is more acceptable, whether they are aligned with the real needs of today's children and whether they can be adapted are just some of the questions to which I endeavour to provide answers in this paper. It is especially important to mention the function of upbringing in a curriculum. The planned content should be such that it contributes to forming and strenghtening the moral characteristics and traits in students. To achieve this it is necessary to accomplish several tasks with the function of upbringing in addition to those which target the physical and intellectual development. This includes affecting the willpower and in practical terms substituting "I will, I can, I dare" for "I will not, I cannot, I don't dare", molding the character and conscious discipline, imparting a positive attitude towards work, teammates and material resources. To ensure the best possible class quality and that the aims and objectives have been met, the currently used curriculum should be analyzed and compared to determine whether: 1. It meets the aims and objectives of physical education 2. It takes the current constitution and abilities of students into consideration, but also the level of their motor skills and achievements and all other pertinent factors which affect or may affect the success of physical exercise 3. It is aligned with the individual needs of students and the existing working conditions which enable us to envisage which approaches, methods, tools and equipment would be most suitable.

English

This research attempts to throw light on the indigenous African moral philosophy from the yoruba socio-cultural paradigm, espousing the adequacy of its authentic ontological and ethical principles towards sustainable development in the contemporary period. Indigenous African morality revolves around the notion of character and character traits which aim at analyzing actions and motive of a moral agent. Character-ethics approaches moral discourse not on the face value of moral actions; rather, from the broad understanding of the nature of reality and subsisting metaphysical orientation in a socio-cultural experience that shapes the mind and conducts of its individuals. The concept of Omoluabi suffices as generally accepted character (Iwa) model among the Yoruba predominantly in the West African sub-region. An Omoluabi is a well-rounded good person, exhibiting virtues like moderation, truth, diligence, courage and wisdom among others. Behind these virtues are African ontological and ethical principles that inform the making of an Omoluabi in the Yoruba traditional moral setting. The underlining metaphysical orientation accentuates spiritual primacy, duality and complementarity to promote interdependence of all forces and harmonious relationship. In effect, the character of Omoluabi is such that harmonises interests, promotes the spirit of live and let live, diplomacy and collective well-being in the society. Conceptual analysis and critical evaluative reasoning were employed as the methodology to unravel the potential of the African metaphysical orientation via Yoruba traditional morality. “The complementarity and symbiotic orientation drawn from the characteristics of Omoluabi was argued as germane to peaceful coexistence”. Generally, it is our position that the notion of Omoluabi hinged on authentic African metaphysical orientation will enhance sustainable moral development especially in a pluralistic society. Key words: Morality, character (Iwa), omoluabi, duality, African moral philosophy.

Learning to see the world again: Josef Pieper on philosophy, prudence, and the university

In this article I utilize recent psychological and sociological studies on education along with Catholic philosopher Josef Pieper’s work on the relationship between sight, prudence and the perception of reality to show the importance of vision and experience for moral education. Drawing on the above, I then will look specifically at the importance of liberal arts education in universities and how this would relate specifically to disciplines like the sciences. What this article argues is that education needs to be more holistic. It needs to take seriously the tight integration of both the development of technical learning along with other important kinds of knowledge and experience. One becomes the scientific self not just through gaining technical proficiencies but by becoming a well-rounded and holistic person.
