Minden kastély úrilak, de nem minden úrilak kastély! : A kastély és a kúria fogalmának mentalitástörténeti és építészettörténeti áttekintése
Authors: Kiszely Tóth Anett
Published: May 2024

„Mondd el nekem, milyen házban laksz, hogyan rendezted be lakásodat, miként szer- vezted meg magánéletedet, és én megmondom neked, milyen az életviteled, erkölcsi és szellemi fejlődésed, sőt azt is, milyen helyet töltesz be a társadalomban”1 – ezt Charles Garnier, Párizs városának főépítésze fogalmazta meg, amikor az 1889. évi párizsi világ- kiállításon egy világkörkép maketten mutatta be a látogatóknak, milyen típusú házakban lakott az emberiség az évszázadok folyamán. Garnier gondolata jól jelzi azt, mekkora jelentőséggel bír az egykori arisztokrácia társadalomtörténeti vizsgálatában az „úri lakuk”, legyen az kastély vagy kúria, vagy általánosságban az építészetük a társadalom történetének alakulásában.
Erdély mint emlékezethely Bánffy Miklós Erdélyi történet című trilógiájának magyar és német recepciójában
Authors: Tóth Orsolya
Published: May 2024

A tanulmányban azokra a felmerülő kérdésekre próbálunk rávilágítani, melyek Bánffy Miklós Erdély-trilógiájának magyar és német recepciójában valamilyen különbséget, hangsúlyeltolódást vetnek fel. A dolgozatban előtérbe kerülnek azok a történelmi események, melyek a regényekben központi szerepet játszanak, valamint amelyeket az irodalomkritikai írásokban megemlítenek a recenzensek. Az előzetes kutatás során már körvonalazódott, hogy hangsúlyeltolódás merül fel többek között a monarchia bukásának bemutatása során. A tanulmány tárgyát képezik ugyanakkor a leírások összehasonlításai is, melyek a trilógia magyar és német nyelvű recenzióiban felbukkanó Erdély-képet és Erdélyt mint emlékezethelyet határozzák meg. A trilógia magyar visszhangja többnyire történészek, irodalomtörténészek írásaiban körvonalazódik, míg a német recepció feltárása során olyan német nyelvterületen megjelent tanulmányokat, valamint recenziókat vizsgálunk, melyek például a Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Wiener Zeitung vagy Neue Zürcher Zeitung lapokban jelentek meg, szerzőik elsősorban a kelet-európai történelem és irodalom témakörök mellett elkötelezett írók, újságírók, műfordítók.

Authors: Biryukova Anastasia , Bogomolova Evgeniya , Dzizinskaya Diana
Published: May 2024

In Russia and the Irkutsk region, there are a number of problems associated with reforestation. The significance of the issue is increasing due to the increase in felling volumes, the deterioration of natural and anthropogenic factors, and the lack of funding. The purpose of this study is to identify the main trends in changes in forests and the reforestation fund of the Irkutsk region. The article contains data on changes in the area of forests and species composition in Russia and Irkutsk region for the period 2010–2021. The problem of reforestation in Russia, especially in Irkutsk region, is considered and compared with world trends. We analyzed the dynamics of areas of coniferous, soft-leaved and hard-leaved vegetation in the Russian Federation and Irkutsk region. The study showed that in the Irkutsk region there is a higher rate of deforestation than in Russia as a whole. The study showed that in the Irkutsk region there is a higher rate of deforestation than in Russia as a whole. An analysis of the state of forest lands on the territory of the Russian Federation and the Irkutsk region showed that there is a stable change in the species composition in the forests of our country, not for the better, and a decrease in the area covered with forest vegetation. An assessment of the change in the area of forest lands in the Irkutsk region revealed an imbalance between retired and incoming forest plantations, and this imbalance is increasing every year. To solve the problem of deforestation and the decline in the quality of the country's forests, it is necessary to carry out reforestation measures on the lost forest areas of previous years. A new formula for calculating the reforestation fund has been proposed and, based on it, the volumes of reforestation work have been calculated. The authors draw attention to the need to preserve forest resources and propose measures to increase the proportion of artificial reforestation to prevent further loss of forests and preserve their ecological function.
Keywords. Dynamics of the reforestation fund, the forest fund of the Irkutsk region, the forest cover of the Irkutsk region, the area of forests, the volume of harvested timber, the volume of illegal logging, reforestation fund calculation.
On the Question of the Implementation of the Industrial Symbiosis Model in Timber Industry Complex of the Irkutsk Region
Authors: Latypova Viktoria
Published: May 2024

Since the middle of the last century and to this day, the economic development of countries is achieved by increasing industrial production, while causing great harm to the environment. In 2015, the 21st Conference of the Framework Convention on Climate Change adopted the Paris Agreement signed by 197 countries to reduce environmental impact by reducing greenhouse gases. Russia has also joined the policy of decarbonization of the national economy. The pulp and paper industry of the forestry complex of the Russian Federation is the main polluter of soil, air and water resources, which poses the problem of finding optimal solutions to reduce environmental impacts.
The author presents the data of large timber enterprises in Eastern Siberia, which are the main environmental pollutants. The concept of industrial symbiosis is given, the prerequisites for the formation of industrial symbioses in the context of political, regional, socio-ecological and macroeconomic components are given. The author substantiates the introduction on the territory of the Irkutsk region of a special cluster form in the format of industrial eco-parks, which will allow the use of waste from enterprises as a subsequent resource in the activities of other enterprises. Thus, this recommendation will enable the Russian Federation to scale up the applied experience by introducing the proposed model to other industries.
Corruption, Extremism and Terrorism: Facets of Interconnection and Interdependence in Modern Society
Authors: Novikov Valeriy , Sigarev Andrey
Published: May 2024

The situation in the field of ensuring the national security of the Russian Federation at present and in the foreseeable future is characterized by the intensification and activation of many problems. With the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine, both internal and external threats related to the activities of unfriendly states have intensified. The article examines the relationship and interdependence of the two most significant threats: extremism and terrorism on the one hand and corruption on the other one.
The purpose of the study is thus not simply to prove the relationship between terrorism and corruption, but to identify specific mechanisms for their interrelationship in contemporary circumstances. Knowing these mechanisms, we are able to counter them. As an empirical basis, we rely on the experience gained by Russian law enforcement agencies since the mid-1990s in countering extremism, terrorism and corruption. The methods of system, historical, formal-logical analysis are used. The scientific novelty of the presented study is an attempt to project the identified problems and patterns into the future to develop priority directions of ensuring the national security of Russia in new conditions.
The Main Directions of Improving the Effectiveness of the Fight Against Corruption in Russian State Authorities
Authors: Kulakov Vadim , Yarunina Аnna
Published: May 2024

The topic of fighting against corruption is relevant, because corruption is an extremely dangerous phenomenon for society. The Economic Security Strategy of the Russian Federation consistently proves that corruption is one of the threats to the state, since it is inextricably linked with such threats as an increase in the share of the shadow economy, increased differentiation of the population by income level, insufficient investment, low economic growth, inefficient public administration and a decrease in the quality of education and medicine. The issue of corruption in public administration was particularly acute, since corrupt affects power structures and it inevitably leads to the destabilization of the entire State system. The analysis of the level of corruption in the Russian Federation carried out in this article led to the conclusion that existing anti-corruption law enforcement practices are ineffective in our country, and the corruption of State authorities is particularly dangerous. The purpose of the research is to develop measures for anti-corruption activities in Russian state institutions based on an assessment of the level of corruption in state authorities and management. The practical significance lies in the formulation of a number of recommendations for improving anti-corruption measures implemented in the Russian Federation.
The Concept of the Budget Revenue Generating Industry in the Development of a Strategy for Socio-Economic Development of the Regions
Authors: Kolbyagina Lyudmila
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the application of the criterion of the budget-forming industry (the budget-forming industry is proposed to be considered an industry by type of economic activity, whose tax revenues bring at least 15 % to the consolidated budget of the region), which allows taking into account the industry specifics of each region when making management decisions by executive authorities in terms of preparing strategic planning documents for the purpose of sustainable provision of the revenue part of the consolidated budget of the region and achieving other socio-economic effects. The analysis of the Strategies of socio-economic development of the regions in the Siberian Federal District showed that the Irkutsk Region is the only entity where the tax policy of the region has been developed. In addition, the Irkutsk Region has a Committee for interaction with participants in the budget process, the purpose of which is to create activities aimed at increasing the revenues of the consolidated budget of the region. It is established that such an indicator as a budget-forming industry integrated into the socio-economic development strategy of the region will allow to respond promptly to changes in the situation with regard to control measures, which the relevant executive authorities of the region need to focus additional attention on. The advantage of the criterion is the link to the real economic situation in the region. The use of the criterion of the budget-forming industry will ensure the validity of the management decisions made in the field of regional tax policy. The implementation of the concept will not affect the expenditure part of the budget of the region.
​​Making ‘Setgel’s Creature’ Mindful​: Conceptual Change in Contemporary Mongolia
Authors: Turk Elizabeth Hunter
Published: May 2024

As globally circulating understandings of mental health and mindfulness practices gain popularity in Mongolia, they articulate with setgel, a localised concept that has been shaped by a constellation of historical forces. Loosely translated as ‘mind’ in English, setgel has remained central to Mongolian notions of personhood, health, and civic duty, even as the meanings associated with those ideas have changed. As progressivist forces, Tibetan Buddhism and the dominant Soviet political culture of much of the 20th century have held and shaped values in public life. This Position Piece explores the role of power relations and political economy in changing associations of setgel through the example of a recent state-sponsored, Buddhist-inflected mindfulness promotional event for Mongolian influencers. It asks broader questions about how anthropologists as generators of ‘cultural’ knowledge attend to expectations from institutional hosts in the field while also maintaining fidelity to historical change in our work.
​​Invoking Senghor​: Universal Healthcare Coverage and the Place of Culture in Senegal
Authors: Wood Anna
Published: May 2024

Senegal introduced Couverture Maladie Universelle (CMU), its version of universal health coverage (UHC), in 2013, basing it on the establishment of mutual health insurance. Mutual health organisations (mutuelles de santé) manage the pooling of funds, including member enrolment fees and government subsidies; in an effort to extend the reach of UHC, the Senegalese cultural sector created a mutuelle of its own. As part of ethnographic fieldwork focused on CMU, I attended a ceremony at the Grand Théâtre National de Dakar on the occasion of this mutuelle receiving a large cheque from the government. In this Field Note I examine the centring of Senegalese culture during this event to reflect on the national project of development itself. The event’s celebration of the arts sector coupled with its emphasis on mutualism and solidarity invoked Senegal’s post-colonial developmentalist visions and aspirations that were motivated by négritude and African socialism under its first president, Léopold Sédar Senghor. Engaging with renewed calls for African values and morality to be put at the centre of development, I argue that ambitious endeavours like CMU present such an attempt and help buoy it, but that, in the context of continued healthcare underfunding, one-off gifts like that presented during the ceremony are unsustainable.

Published: May 2024

The role of art education in the holistic development of young children is undeniably essential. This form of education not only shapes the perceptions and worldviews of children but also nurtures and cultivates their innate creative capabilities. In this context, the roles of primary school teachers and pre-service primary educators are quite crucial to achieve this goal. This study investigates the self-efficacy beliefs of pre-service primary educators concerning visual arts instruction, as well as their attitudes toward the pedagogical profession. The research cohort comprises 160 pre-service primary educators from a prominent state university in Türkiye. Instruments utilized in this study include the "Self-efficacy Scale for Visual Arts Teaching" and the "Attitude Towards Teaching Profession Scale". The findings reveal a subtle yet statistically significant correlation between the pre-service teachers' self-efficacy beliefs in visual arts instruction and their attitudes toward the pedagogical profession. Notably, there was a discernible difference in the self-efficacy beliefs concerning visual arts instruction in favor of participants with family members engaged in artistic endeavor. Furthermore, an upward trend was observed in both the self-efficacy beliefs in visual arts teaching and attitudes toward the teaching profession as the academic grade level advanced. In light of the findings, we suggested some remarkable implications.

Published: May 2024

Academic engagement (AE) is an educational concern, and universities seek to increase its level by identifying the factors affecting it. Self-determination theory (SDT) and self-efficacy (SE) have been assumed to affect academic engagement directly or indirectly. Recognizing the significance of investigating AE and the factors influencing it, a notable research gap is spotted in the exploration of the mediating influence of SE in the relationship between SDT and AE. The current study tried to fill this gap and aimed to reveal the levels of self-determination, self-efficacy, and academic engagement of undergraduate students as well as the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between the self-determination motive and academic engagement. After applying the relevant measures to a sample of 240 undergraduate students, the results showed that self-efficacy and autonomy as a dimension of self-determination had a medium level, while the level of relatedness was high; moreover, the level of academic engagement was high and self-efficacy was low. Autonomy and competence as components of self-determination were also revealed to directly and indirectly affect academic engagement. The results also demonstrated the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between self-determination motive and academic engagement. In light of the previous findings, there are some important implications, through which the teachers and faculty members can identify the factors affecting AE to help students increase their participation in educational activities. Psychological Counsellors can also use the findings to help students in coping with academic life challenges and positively interacting with their educational environment.

Published: May 2024

Blended learning emerges as an indispensable tool for pioneering science education practices in the 21st century. Studies underscore the efficacy of blended learning applications in science education, particularly in enhancing learners' computer proficiency, fostering positive attitudes and motivation towards science courses, and surmounting learning hurdles. This study aims to assess the levels of self-efficacy among science teachers for blended education within the context of the digital transformation process. It also seeks to investigate the predictive capacity of various factors and analyze teachers' experiences with blended learning. The research adopts a mixed-method approach, integrating both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. Quantitatively, the study utilizes the "Self‐Efficacy Perception of Distance Education Scale" to gauge science teachers' self-efficacy perceptions about distance education. The quantitative segment encompasses a sample of 175 science teachers. On the other hand, for the qualitative aspect, 26 teachers' experiences were examined through an “Open-Ended Question Form” to gain nuanced insights. The results of the quantitative analysis demonstrated that science educators displayed a heightened level of perceived self-efficacy in the domain of distance education. The influencing factors identified included gender, seniority, school type, class size, and usage of laboratory facilities. The qualitative findings indicated that science teachers' engagement with blended learning was characterized by both positive and negative sentiments. These experiences were further categorized into subgroups of positive and negative encounters.

Exploring University Students’ Online Learning Readiness: A Mixed Methods Study of Forced Online Learning
Authors: Loi Chek Kim , Lim Jason Miin Hwa , Mohd Suki Norazah , Lee Hock Ann
Published: May 2024

Background: Despite the advancement achieved in previous research into online learning, few studies have used both quantitative and qualitative data to examine how students’ readiness to learn online is affected by three different external factors, comprising (i) the degrees to which technology is available to students, (ii) the support provided by the institutions of learning, and (iii) the social influence affecting the students engaged in forced online learning in a pandemic situation.
Purpose: To fill this research gap, this study explored university students’ forced online learning readiness in relation to technological accessibility, institutional support and social influence during a pandemic, in an attempt to furnish insights into how educators can maximize the benefits of adopting online learning methods.
Method: A mixed methods research design was employed in this study. Quantitative data, elicited via self-administered questionnaires completed by 211 participants, was analyzed using the frequencies, means, standard deviations and Pearson correlation analysis involving the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 27. Qualitative data, elicited via 11 open-ended questions posed to 41 students through in-depth interviews, was then studied using a thematic analysis of the participants’ feedback concerning the three constructs in online learning.
Results: Our quantitative analysis showed that institutional support had the strongest positive correlation with online learning readiness, and this was followed by technology accessibility and social influence in relation to students’ readiness to learn online. Qualitative findings further indicated that students were largely concerned about Internet accessibility and the setting where their roles were restricted to being mere listeners in online sessions. Apart from being apprehensive about excessive online assignments, students also acknowledged that their online interactions were influenced by their friends and family members, and they would prefer practical work that could inspire them to reflect and engage actively with the course material given during the pandemic.
Conclusion: While lecturers can make online classes more interactive and discussion-generative, university administrators need to aptly facilitate their institution’s transition to the forced online learning mode, moderate social influence, improve the learning management system, and provide training to teachers and students on the use of emerging technology.

General analysis of the dissipation of strain energy in circular columns
Authors:   Dept. of Technical Mechanics, University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, Rizov Victor
Published: May 2024

This theoretical paper is concerned with general analysis of the strain energy dissipation in columns of circular cross-section. The columns are under longitudinal displacements that vary continuously with time. The columns exhibit non-linear viscoelastic behavior that is studied by mechanical models constructed by using non-linear springs and dashpots. Besides, the columns are functionally graded along the radius of the cross-sections. A simple expression for the dissipated strain energy in the columns under consideration is derived. The expression holds for columns having portions with different radius of the cross-section. Also, the expression derived is applicable for columns built-up by concentric layers. Results indicating how the dissipated strain energy is influenced by various factors (distribution of material properties, geometry of the columns and loading) are presented. These results are found by using a non-linear viscoelastic model with one spring and one dashpot. A check-up is performed by determining the dissipated strain energy through subtracting the strain energy in the spring of viscoelastic model from the whole strain energy in the column.

The article analyzes the current state of geography education in schools and universities in Ukraine, focusing on the practical aspects of the use of geographic information by society. Rapid changes in the world can lead to the obsolescence of educational materials. The political map of the world can change due to geopolitical events, and data on climate change is also becoming increasingly relevant. Traditional methods of teaching geography may not be interactive enough, which can reduce students' interest and make it difficult for them to learn the material. Particular attention is paid to the role and importance of school geography in wartime, and the possibilities of realizing its importance in crisis situations arising in all spheres of public life are considered. The importance of geography in the process of post-war reconstruction of Ukraine is also considered, emphasizing the need for an integrated approach to its study and use in various aspects of social development.
Changes in the Sense of Humor in Patients with Affective Disorders: “Deficit”, “Pathological Defense”, “Mask”
Authors: Govorov S.A. , Ivanova E.M.
Published: May 2024

Relevance. The present article provides an analysis of changes in the sense of humor in patients with affective disorders. The necessity of this research is due to the emergence of new findings and the insufficient systematization of the scientific data in this field, despite the fact that methods of psychosocial rehabilitation using humor and laughter are being actively developed. The present research is aimed at summarizing and systematizing existing data on the characteristics of the sense of humor in patients with affective disorders. Results. Three theoretical approaches to understanding the specifics of humor’s changes in patients with affective disorders are proposed: «deficit», «pathological defense» and «mask». The «deficit» model describes humor’s characteristics accompanying depressive syndrome. The ones in the foreground are: a decreased affective response to humor, a reduced tendency to engage in humorous interaction with others and to use humor as a coping strategy. In manic and hypomanic states, humor functions as a «pathological defense», blocking negative emotions and stimulating positive ones. In «smiling» depression, the meaning of smiling and laughter can be characterized as a «mask»: their main goal here is to reduce the significance or to hide completely a patient’s inner feelings from others. Also, affective disorders are accompanied by an increased interest in depressive humor. Presumably, it functions as a compensation for a decrease in the use of humor in general as an emotion regulation strategy. Conclusions. Changes in the sense of humor in patients with affective disorders are heterogeneous. Understanding their specifics may be used to improve modern psychosocial therapy programs focused on humor interventions and techniques. It may also be used as an additional diagnostic tool.

A quantitative comparison was made between the two groups of participants - choir members (46 people 57-91 years old; M=73,6±7,8), and a control group of people of the same age, but not involved in singing (56 people 52-82 years old; M=67,1± 6,8) - in terms of psychological and life well-being were conducted. The following measures were used: 1) the Russian version of the С. Ryff psychological well-being questionnaire, 2) a questionnaire regarding the socio-demographic information and the satisfaction with basic life circumstances, 3) a questionnaire (only for choristers) regarding the characteristics of musical and vocal-choral activity and their impact on the well-being of respondents. Results. The detailed statements of the choristers testify to the positive impact of choral singing on their physical and psychological well-being. The level of psychological well-being of elderly and senile people is largely determined by the well-being of important life circumstances. Engagement of elderly people in the academic choral singing has a significant effect in terms of increasing the psychological well-being of participants only if the level of well-being of the main life circumstances is high. The duration of engagement in the choir singing negatively correlates with the level of psychological well-being of the participants.

Rationale. Loneliness is one of the most common conditions associated with negative consequences for the mental and physical health of a person. The work presents the study of the association between the experience of loneliness and sociotropy, as well as their moderators, such as age, gender, components of psychological well-being. Study Objective. We hypothesized that sociotropy could be a predictor of loneliness, but the power of the effect would be moderated by age-sex characteristics and levels of psychological well-being components. Materials and methods. The study involved 252 adults aged 19-73 years, 59% women. The following methods were used: the Differential Questionnaire for the Experience of Loneliness (K.N. Osin, D.A. Leontiev), the Sociotropy-Self-Sufficiency Questionnaire (O.Yu. Strizhitskaya et al.), the Scale of Psychological Well-Being C. Riff (adapted by L.V. Zhukovskaya, E.G. Troshikhina). Mathematical processing was performed on the basis of IBM SPSS 20.0 software using the PROCESS package (Hayes, 2018). Results. The results of the study confirmed the relationship between sociotropy and loneliness, and also revealed that age, autonomy, environmental mastery and personal growth act as moderators of the strength of this relationship. It was shown that in the older age group, as well as with high indicators of the components of psychological well-being, the strength of the connection between sociotropy and loneliness weakens and loses statistical significance. Conclusion. It can be concluded that the components of psychological well-being act as a resource that reduces one's vulnerability to the negative effects of loneliness.

The relevance. There is a lack of information in the scientific literature about predictors of professional burnout among schoolteachers. This complicates psychological work to prevent and overcome professional burnout syndrome, which is a consequence of significant physical and psychological overload among modern teachers. The aim. To identify the most significant personal factors of professional burnout among schoolteachers. Study design. The article analyzes the relationship between the professional burnout of schoolteachers and such personal factors as the professional motivation of teachers, their meaningful life orientations, strategies for coping behavior, satisfaction with various aspects of pedagogical activity. Materials and methods. The study involved 409 teachers of secondary schools in Moscow and the Moscow region aged 23 to 65 years. The following questionnaires were used: «Professional Burnout» questionnaire, «Life Orientations Test», «Job Satisfaction Components Questionnaire», «Coping Methods Questionnaire», «Professional Motivation Questionnaire». Data analysis was carried out using correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results. It is shown that the socio-psychological qualities of the individual, necessary for building the pedagogical interaction of the teacher with other participants in educational relations, primarily with the parents of students, are of high importance for reducing the risk of professional burnout. The most significant personal factors that are predictors of professional burnout among schoolteachers with different indicators of burnout have been identified (dissatisfaction with interaction with students’ parents, the predominance of controlled motivation for work, preference for unconstructive strategies for coping with problematic situations, a feeling of unfulfillment and inability to fully manage one’s life). Conclusions. Psychological, advisory and psychotherapeutic assistance to schoolteachers can be expanded by correcting work motivation, using positive reappraisal and non-confrontation to cope with difficult situations, and teaching effective means of communication with other participants in educational relations.

This article presents a review of ceramic materials used in modern orthopedic dentistry. Currently, the main types of orthopedic structures containing dental porcelain are metal–ceramic and metal-free ceramic crowns and prostheses made using pressed ceramic technology, in particular veneers. All types dental porcelain prostheses have a common manufacturing technology, which involves the sequential application of ceramic layers with their subsequent firing. Moreover, each group of teeth has additional masses for firing, such as masses of the cutting edge and masses simulating various effects (e.g., blue, yellow, and other shades, imitation of tooth growth lines). These masses are created to give future crowns the most natural and aesthetic appearance. All structural components (layers) of ceramics used in the manufacture of ceramic prostheses have a similar chemical composition. The raw material is feldspar glass with crystalline quartz. Depending on the conditions of the reactions, the composition of mixtures can vary, and compounds with desired properties can be obtained using the phase analysis method, which will expand the range of domestic ceramic materials produced, which are currently relatively scarce. This is especially relevant in modern conditions of import substitution.

The education concept and its false dichotomies
Authors: Segura González María Dolores
Published: May 2024

Introduction: The conceptual complexity inherent in the term "education" has been associated with numerous analyses from various disciplinary approaches, paradigms, and theoretical currents. Objective: This article aims not to offer a univocal definition of the meaning of education but to consider it from a sociological perspective that integrates the false dichotomies of individual/society, continuity/discontinuity, and reproduction/change. Development: In the first part, the text presents a theoretical proposal on the articulation between culture, identity, and memory. Culture is understood as the set of objectified and subjectivized forms in historically specific contexts, which provides the individual with intersubjective elements for identity formation, where memory acts as an active dialogue between the psycho-individual and the socio-collective dimension. In the second part, education is proposed as a complex and dynamic process of cultural communication, identity formation, and social construction of memory. It emphasizes the importance of analyzing education from a theoretical perspective that considers the interaction between the individual and society, offering the possibility to understand its crucial role in processes of social reproduction and continuity, as well as in those of change and discontinuity. Conclusions: The mentioned false dichotomies in approaches to studying education polarize and create an antagonism between structures and subjects, individual and society, and reproduction and social change, consequently providing little understanding of how these phenomena articulate with educational processes, overlooking the multiple possibilities of co-participation and mutual determination.
