Extériorité des définitions versus réalité des usages : où va se blottir la subjectivité des lexico-graphes ?
Authors: Verine Bertrand
Published: January 2025

Kinesthesia, the internal sensation of movement, is most often assessed through sight, in relation to its external correlates – action and spatial position. This paper investigates a symptom of this tension in French: the discrepancy between dictionary definitions and written uses of the verb blottir or the adjectival participle blotti. On the one hand, from Furetière (1690) to the online Grand Robert, lexicographers restrict their definitions to an external action that makes the ‘blotti’ object less voluminous and/or less visible. On the other hand, from as early as 1844, authors have used this lexical field to refer to intimate interaction with the environment. A search of the Frantext database reveals that for the last century and a half, dictionary entries have lacked a meaning such as: [to seek bodily contact with something or someone in order to achieve physical and/or emotional well- being]. Today, this meaning accounts for almost half of all occurrences. The study thus points to a twofold omission in the work of lexicographers: the late and partial consideration of the ‘subjective interaction with people or objects’ component in favour of exteriority alone, and the complete neglect of the tactile-kinesthetic implications of movement in favour of spatial position alone.

Authors: Chan Johnny , Teng Songyan
Published: January 2025

The adoption of online learning has introduced a multitude of opportunities and complexities. This shift poses a challenge in preserving the integrity of digital assessments, which is further accentuated by the increasing accessibility of online resources. Assessment design has emerged as a promising solution to tackle this issue, with a specific focus on creating assessments that are resistant to cheating behaviour. Personalised assessments, in particular, have shown promise in reducing academic dishonesty. This work introduces the Personalised Assessment Generative Engine (PAGE); it is designed and implemented to simplify the process of creating and administering personalised digital assessments for the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS). Following the design science research methodology, PAGE has been developed to efficiently generate personalised assessments with variations in questions, answers, and additional materials. Deploying PAGE in a university course uncovered several benefits and considerations for educators with using such a tool in their classrooms. The strengths and weaknesses of PAGE are analysed, highlighting its application areas and potential avenues for future work.
Inclusive Education: Historical Evolvement and Future Perspective
Authors:   "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University of Iasi, Iaşi, România, Kopito Miri
Published: January 2025

This article seeks to shed light on various inclusive education (IE) aspects within the current educational policy landscape. IE stands as a beacon of progress, aiming to provide equal opportunities for quality education to all pupils, accommodating diverse and adapted responses to each learner's needs and unique abilities while eliminating discrimination and exclusion. Despite being considered a key educational goal in the Western world, implementation challenges arise owing to confusion between 'integration', 'inclusion', and IE. To clarify this confusion, the article examines IE's roots and developmental stages, considering societal perceptions that shaped them. The goal is to establish clear boundaries for the concept, facilitating a unified educational discourse. Special attention will be given to an examination of IE in Israel in 2024, as a test case of a society coping with broad societal heterogeneity, reflected in its education system. The article claims that to promote IE, the existing separation between regular and special education, which currently operates as two parallel and separate tracks, should be abolished. As long as a fragmented educational discourse persists, IE will continue to face conflicting voices of inclusiveness in theory and exclusion in practice. Hence, it is necessary to create a single educational heterogeneous inclusive system to address all pupils' diverse needs without separating between types of learners. This change will enable the development of an exemplary society that promotes values of equity, diversity, choice, and social justice.

Augmented reality is an innovative way to enhance learning, transforming the way students access and assimilate knowledge. This technology has the potential to make education more accessible, attractive and effective. The purpose of this study is to identify the opinions of teachers / future teachers who teach / will teach at primary school, regarding the use of augmented reality applications in environmental education in primary school. Environmental issues in Romania, at all levels of education, are insufficiently explored, despite the growing need and efforts made by the Ministry of Education. Educational activities that contribute to preventing climate change, combating biodiversity loss, illegal deforestation, environmental pollution should be introduced from the earliest ages, and the ways of presentation should be as attractive, closer to the digital generation.
Research data was collected via an online questionnaire with 24 questions, using the 5-point Likert scale. The sample consists of 133 participants selected by the non-probability sampling method.
According to the survey results, most participants believe that the use of augmented reality applications has the potential to provide immersive and interactive experiences in environmental education classes for primary school students. However, the participants identified challenges and limitations that need to be considered before they can be fully accepted in the education sector. In conclusion, further research and development is needed to highlight the potential of augmented reality in primary school environmental education.

This study explores an experimental approach to developing and assessing the STEAM-type behaviors in kindergarten children through extracurricular activities. STEAM education, encompassing the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, is increasingly recognized for its potential to foster creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking, specific to preschool stage. The research was conducted with a middle group of 5-6-year-olds from a kindergarten in Arad, Romania. The experimental group consisting of 24 preschoolers and the control group of 24 preschoolers were evaluated. A STEAM behavior assessment grid was developed, encompassing five dimensions, each with five items. Twenty-four students used this evaluation grid to assess two children each, one from experimental class and one from control class, during both pretest and posttest stages. The STEAM behavior assessment grid focused on key areas such as curiosity, creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. The study's methodology ensured a comprehensive evaluation by involving pre-service teachers in the assessment process, thereby also contributing to their professional development. The innovative activities were structured to encourage active engagement and foster a deeper understanding of STEAM concepts. The results of the experimental research reveal that children in the experimental group exhibited a notable enhancement in STEAM-related behaviors compared to those in the control group. More specific, the experimental class showed increased abilities in creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration. These findings suggest that the integration of STEAM-focused extracurricular activities can significantly impact the developmental trajectories of young children.

In an increasingly digitised society, the development of computational thinking has become essential for everyone. Computational thinking is defined as a process of breaking down a problem into steps that are simple enough to understand, identifying solutions that can lead to automation. New generations should have the opportunity to develop this skill from early childhood, so future teachers need to develop the skills to create innovative learning contexts.
This study explores the need for initial training of students majoring in elementary and early childhood education to create learning contexts that facilitate the development of students' computational thinking.
Both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods were used to identify future teachers' perceptions of the need for initial student training to build the skills required to design learning settings that aid the advancement of computational thinking in toddlers and students. In terms of qualitative methods, the focus group method was used, discussing with students based on the questions How would you describe the concept of computational thinking? Can computational thinking be included in the teaching process? What types of activities could be carried out? As quantitative methods of data collection, a questionnaire survey was used, applying a questionnaire consisting of 24 items. The results showed that the introduction of a course based on computational thinking can significantly influence the way future teachers teach.

This article posits care as a fundamental paradigm for understanding medicine and pedagogy, highlighting its deep roots in human existence. Rich in philosophical insights, care is seen as the very essence of human communication, nurturing, and education. This study examines the complex interplay of care within these fields, advocating for a hermeneutic approach to illness. Drawing on philosophical perspectives, historical legal frameworks, and contemporary epistemological shifts, it explores how care has become central in various disciplines, transcending traditional boundaries. The traditional view of care, initially focused on disabilities and rights, has expanded to include holistic well-being and individualized attention. This shift recognizes each individual's unique needs and potential, emphasizing their value in the care process. With a holistic understanding of illness, contemporary medicine integrates care as crucial to healing. Similarly, pedagogy moves towards a "pedagogy of the person," acknowledging individual needs and ensuring they feel valued and respected. This article underscores the ethical dimension of caregiving, highlighting the responsibility and anxiety of physicians and educators. It calls for a shift from "curing" to "caring," focusing on the person rather than symptoms. By adopting a hermeneutic lens, physicians and educators interpret signs of competence and potential, fostering a collaborative and interdisciplinary understanding of human complexity. Ultimately, the article advocates reconceptualizing care as fundamental in medicine and pedagogy, emphasizing holistic care for effective well-being education.

Consequently, educators and teachers are striving to adapt to the students’ needs and interests. Moreover, in a society in which students feel more and more demotivated to learn, it is up to teachers to find ways to ignite students’ curiosity and interest that may lead to the desired satisfaction and pleasure to learn, resuscitating the intrinsic motivation to learn. In this context, this article aims to highlight the impact of Project-Based Learning as a learning tool which can benefit the students by fostering motivation and engagement during classes due to its key feature: it is an approach which places the students in the centre of learning by encouraging them to participate in an active way and take responsibility for the entire process, thus students own the learning process which enables them to find the engagement and motivation to study within themselves.

Academic resilience represents a critical variable in educational success, reflecting students’ ability to adapt and thrive in the face of academic challenges. Numerous studies have addressed the issue of academic resilience, as understanding the mechanisms underlying academic resilience as essential for the development of effective interventions to support students. Academic resilience is a multifactorial construct, influenced by personal, social and contextual factors, which needs a complex approach. Being an essential competence for the entire life, the academic environment provides the fertile ground for its development. The present research investigates the extent to which perceived self-efficacy and motivation - both intrinsic and extrinsic - impact students’ academic resilience. The study aims to explore how those psychological constructs interact to support adaptive responses in demanding academic environments. A structural equation model was developed and tested on a sample of university students. The findings reveal that academic self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation has a significant and direct positive effect on academic resilience. At the same time, even extrinsic motivation seems to influence negatively the academic resilience, it resulted that it has no direct significant influence on academic resilience. The results underscore the importance of fostering self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation in educational settings, offering critical psycho-pedagogical insights for enhancing students’ adaptive capacities.

LANGUAGE AS A TOOL OF ENFORCED ETHNIC CONVERSION IN A BORDER SPACE WITH THE EXAMPLE OF TRANSELSIA (ZAOLZIE SILESIA)
Authors:   University of Warsaw, HUT Pawel
Published: January 2025

Poland is a unique country in Europe, as it changed its geographical location after the Second World War, leaving large Polish groups in other countries. Since 1989, there has been an intensification of contacts between kin-state and foreign compatriots. Foreign compatriots are a heterogeneous group, as only a part of the population remained in the former USSR (Latvian, Lithuanian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakh republic), while in Czechoslovakia (Transelsia) the local population did not undergo mass migration, but there were changes in their ethnic identification. Investigating the contemporary determinants of ethnic identity seems important from an academic perspective, and this is what this study is devoted to: consisting of in-depth interviews, questionnaires and observations. Using Transelsia as an example, the author describes the reaction of the former majority in the region to the assimilation pressure, which was carried out, among other things, through the introduction of the Czech language into the public space. In the Transelsia area, the presence of the Polish language is not identical in all parts.
In the following considerations reference was made to: topographical names, names of public facilities, Polish-language education, as well as names of service points, shops and workshops. Based on the analysis of the data obtained from the in-depth interviews, questionnaires and observations, it was assessed that the hypothesis adopted in the study was confirmed. The state language has become a tool for forced ethnic conversion, and bilingualism itself also has a hidden dimension, with content used to impose Czech identity (e.g. bilingual street names whose patrons are historical figures with anti-Polish and nationalist involvement). Currently, an area of rivalry between Polish and Czech circles in Transelsia is theTeschen dialect, which the Czech side wants to use as an argument in the historical justification of its rights to the region.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has profoundly affected global security and international relations, particularly influencing perceptions of trust in institutions such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This study investigates the level of (dis)trust in NATO among citizens, especially youth, in Romania and Türkiye—two strategic NATO member states—within the context of the evolving geopolitical landscape. Romania, with its border shared with Ukraine, and Türkiye, with its historically complex relationship with the Alliance, provide unique case studies for understanding public sentiment towards NATO amidst Russia's aggression. The research methodology integrates a dual approach, thus the qualitative component will involve a theoretical framework and a comparative analysis, examining data from the Eurobarometer reports and other surveys to assess changes before and after the invasion of Ukraine, while the quantitative component consists of a questionnaire administered to students from Romania and Türkiye across various fields of study, including international relations, diplomacy, political science, history, economics, languages, and engineering. The findings highlight the intricate and multifaceted nature of trust in international organizations, particularly during times of conflict. They underscore how trust can be influenced by shifting geopolitical dynamics and varying national contexts.
desigualdad en tiempos de pandemia: cólera e influenza española en México
Authors: Rajchenberg Enrique
Published: January 2025

Las coyunturas de epidemia y de pandemia ponen al descubierto la desigualdad en las sociedades, entre otros, a través de las diferencias en las tasas de morbilidad y de letalidad. Pero también constituyen momentos en que las representaciones, acerca de los pobres y de la pobreza, se manifiestan con mayor claridad. El artículo estudia esta temática durante dos pandemias en México, la del cólera en 1833 y la de la influenza española en 1918.
Historias del saber filosófico en la Argentina. Revisiones críticas, nuevas perspectivas y diferentes objetos
Authors: Sosa Paula Jimena , Galfione María Carla
Published: January 2025

A lo largo del siglo XX surgen una serie relatos en torno al pasado de la filosofía argentina. Dichas narraciones motivan el presente dossier que intenta ir más allá de ellas, con el propósito de realizar nuevas interpelaciones para iluminar objetos hasta ahora desatendidos. Explorar otros marcos teóricos habilitan nuevas preguntas, que, además de los contenidos semánticos del discurso filosófico, pueden incluir otras preocupaciones teóricas e históricas: cómo, desde dónde, por qué, con o contra quién se escribe. Así, la presente revisión crítica atiende a diferentes momentos y expresiones del pensamiento filosófico argentino. Busca desnaturalizar las definiciones y las etapas trazadas en las historias más clásicas, como también las explicaciones en torno a las recepciones filosóficas allí presentes, sumergiendo dichos relatos en los contextos históricos y discursivos en los que se inscriben.
saber filosófico en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires
Authors: Moine Facundo José
Published: January 2025

Este trabajo analiza los comienzos de la filosofía académica durante la primera década del siglo XX, centrándose en el ámbito de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Se ocupa de diversos textos publicados por autoridades y profesores en distintas revistas institucionales, reconociendo allí las marcas de sus primeras definiciones. Desde una mirada atenta a los saberes, de inspiración foucaultiana, se observan allí la delimitación de un conjunto de elementos teóricos que acompañan los movimientos institucionales. El saber filosófico se iba moldeando en el marco de una universidad y facultad también en formación, entrelazándose mutuamente en ese proceso.
