Purpose: The purpose of this report is to show how the problems of teaching social science in Russia are related to the problems of reconciling the goals of social science with the practice of real teaching this subject in a modern Russian school. Design/Methodology/Approach: The report was prepared on the basis of the comparative analysis of the basic documents of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation that define the goals and objectives of teaching social studies, two basic lines of social science textbooks, exam materials, as well as secondary sources presented. Findings: Modern social science in the Russian school continues to be a theoretical discipline, extremely weakly connected with practical skills. The federal educational standard continues to be a fairly abstract document. The two popular series of social science textbooks are not focused on the formation of a real civic position of the student and his involvement in the practice of social life. Their goal is to teach a terminological apparatus to the student, part of which reproduces the language of the Soviet era. The main goal of the Unified State Exam in social science is to test the level of theoretical knowledge that is loosely related to the goals of school civic education and real life in Russia.

Finally, current challenges are discussed, taking into consideration existing socio-political discourses, such as the question of neutrality. Findings: The article shows that the relevance of citizenship education is increasing, also in regard to current socio-political phenomena, such as the growth of right-wing populism and digitalization. At the same time, the results indicate that in various federal states the subject is marginalized and threatened by current debates about the alleged neutrality of citizenship education.

Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) is an active-learning pedagogy that emphasizes content mastery as well as the development of process skills like critical thinking and problem solving. Although published POGIL materials are available in several STEM disciplines, there are still a number of courses within a variety of disciplines for which materials have not been written. The authors describe how to write POGIL activities, including details on the learning theories behind POGIL, how to develop a model, how to write guiding questions that scaffold content mastery and development of process skills, and how to refine an activity based on feedback.

This research aims to position the social skills of elementary school students as an important aspect in implementing the 2013 curriculum with a scientific approach. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach and applies purposive sampling to select the informants, which comprised 20 students in three different elementary schools (SDN), namely SDN Sonorejo 01, SDN Bekonang 1, and SDN Kemasan 01. The data-collection techniques used by the researcher include observation and documentation, with the subsequent data being analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The results show that 35% of students (7) have a good mastery of social skills, while the remaining 65% of students (13) did not demonstrate a solid mastery of social skills in class. The data implies that the social skills of elementary school students are still limited, which could in turn cause the implementation of the scientific approach to be less than optimal in the 2013 curriculum.

Four steps of historical methods were applied including: heuristic, source critic, interpretation, and historiography. Results show that the history of the Indonesian movement and its ideologies included a blend of ideas from Islam and communism, which later led to the notion of Islamic communism. To achieve this, its proponents sought to find the matching points between the two ideologies and erase any notion that might disassociate them allowing syncretism ideology. The two ideologies, when combined, were employed in the struggle against capitalism and colonialism. Islam was perceived as defending the rights of the indigenous people being oppressed by colonialism. The emergent of communists then claimed that their doctrine, which rejected colonialism and capitalism, was wholly in line with Islamic Jihadism idea in terms of fighting the negative effects of the above two ideologies.

There is limited research on the variance in teachers' beliefs on social issues such as immigration, particularly related to the grade level they teach. This research is centered on a nationwide sample of K-12 teachers (N=5190) with an examination of their views on immigration and educational rights for immigrant students, particularly those students who are undocumented. Additionally, there is an analysis of the awareness of false immigration narratives. A series of ANOVA analyses indicates that teachers from the secondary level have the most inclusive views followed by middle grades and elementary teachers. Secondary teachers were also more likely to be aware of false immigration narratives. Consideration is given to the possible reasons for these disparities based on grade level as well as the implications for teachers and teacher educators, particularly because of the need for teachers with an inclusive positionality towards the immigrant population and a critical approach towards structural barriers these students face within the school system.

The goals of this research are: 1) to substantiate the conceptual content and introduce into the terminological circulation of the philosophy of culture the concepts of &quot;nihitology of culture&quot; and &quot;nihitogenesis&quot;; 2) to substantiate the intensification of ontologization of the negative in the second half of the XX century and the present. Data were achieved using observation and description of the behaviour of modern man in virtual and real cultures; hermeneutic analysis of observation results, as well as a description of the results of virtualization and simulation of modern culture. The article extrapolates the ontological method to the aesthetic and social spheres. Research results are as follows: 1) the following metamorphoses of non-being in the space of culture being have been discovered: anthropologization of the negative; semiotization and aesthetization of non-being; &quot;hollow&quot; attitudes of everyday worldview and individual experience of inner devastation; production and consumption of simulacra; virtualization of cultural reality; 2) the processes of diminishing or even loss of reality are associated by the author with various factors, such as: the transition from the individual's solid identity to its &quot;fluid&quot; form, and ultimately to the loss or destruction of identity; the ongoing destruction of the integrity of &quot;ego&quot;of a modern subject. This is expressed in the fall of stable norms, including ethical ones, in the absence of a single anthropological ideal and in highlighting visibility in the form of &quot;flickering of countless guises&quot;, &quot;masks&quot;; an increase in the volume of simulacra in the spheres of media, art, morality, religiosity, and in everyday life as well; active interest in negative entities manifested by postmodern art; loss by a person of a sense of spiritual security, compensation for this loss by hedonism, unlimited consumption of material goods; communication virtualization, etc.

This article discusses the meaning behind the &quot;sekaten&quot; traditional ceremony, as performed in Surakarta by Surakarta palace, the government, and the local community. This is important because the &quot;sekaten&quot; ceremony is a traditional cultural event that encompasses local wisdom and moral values that guide the development of a civilized social life, yet it currently tends to be oriented toward the tourism sector, and its previous meaning is not understood by the local community. This research applies a descriptive analytical method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected from informants, namely staff at Surakarta palace, the Surakarta City Government, and Islamic religious leaders in Surakarta, as well as traders and visitors at the &quot;sekaten.&quot; The technique involved in-depth interviews and participatory observation of the places and events involved in the &quot;sekaten&quot; traditional procession. Data analysis was then carried out inductively using interactive methods. The results showed that the meaning behind the &quot;sekaten&quot; tradition has changed in the era of globalization from originally symbolizing the Islamic kingdom and royal power as part of Javanese culture. In the globalization era, the Surakarta palace defines &quot;sekaten&quot; as part of a cultural heritage that encompasses local wisdom, while the government defines it as a cultural asset and an element of the tourism industry. Finally, local people associate &quot;sekaten&quot; with syncretism, entertainment, and tourist destinations.
