The relevance of the topic is due to the need of self-correction of senior preschoolers. Adequate self-esteem of preschoolers will give us an opportunity to prepare them for school more effectively, as well as to create some positive character traits. The preschool age is the initial period of development of a child's self-esteem. This is the most sensitive period for development of self criticism and criticism to other people. During this period, it is important to lay down the foundation for formation of a differentiated adequate self-esteem and to correct it. This article is aimed to solve the problem of correction of senior preschool children self-esteem by the psychologist. The leading method of the research is the psycho-pedagogical experiment, thanks to which some special conditions for self-esteem correction were created. This article describes the developed and implemented program of senior preschool children self-esteem correction by the psychologist, where a set of games and exercises, dramatizations of literary works, art therapy techniques, psychological techniques were used as means of correction. The material of this article can be useful for teachers and psychologists who work with preschoolers.

This article presents the national gender policy in public education in the Russian Empire in the latter half of the 19th-early 20th centuries. In the course of work the authors have used special historical research methods enabling to hammer out the facts and to approach historical sources from a critical standpoint. The comparative method allowed the authors to compare statistical data of different periods and to determine the law of development of the educational system and teaching evolution. The structural method enabled to set forth the school system in the Russian Empire and to establish existing links between different school types. The method of historical retrospection served as a requisite for an objective evaluation of public education and position of a teacher. The research is based upon archive materials, statistical data, legal acts and periodicals resulting in deep analysis of public education, assessment of teachers' position and detection of gender approach in the educational process. For the purpose of this research, the authors have compared the educational process in Vyatka Governorate and modern schools. Along with it, great attention was paid to the study of the teaching staff at those schools and gender peculiarities at selection of teachers. As a comparison, the authors have presented information on implementation of gender principles at selection of the teaching staff at European schools in the latter half of the 19th-early 20th centuries demonstrating that gender education in the Russian Empire was not peculiar only to Russian schools. In the course of work, the authors arrived at the conclusion that principles of gender education had been implemented at schools of the Russian Empire and are implemented at modern schools. At that, differences between schools of the periods under survey they connect to differences for educational purposes.

Many children with disabilities in the Republic of Kazakhstan face up to physiological difficulties in moving, communicating, learning, along with problems related to learning various computer programs. Computer technologies are of particular importance for children with disabilities. By using information and computer technologies, these children are able to not only communicate and move around, but also to go into a full education. Unfortunately, at the moment there is much tension in Kazakhstan around the issue of using information and communication technologies (ICT) in the context of inclusive education. Presently, many primary school teachers are not adequately trained to use information technologies. The objective of this article is to study the problem of ICT use and to promote high-quality education in an inclusive environment. In order to solve this problem, the authors have developed a special training course for students of higher educational institutions, providing detailed theoretical and methodological foundations of inclusive education, methods of ICT use at different lesson stages for primary school children in the inclusion context. &quot;What matters most--it is not the fact that the student uses new technologies, it is rather how it contributes to the development of his knowledge&quot; C.

The current study aimed to identify the views of students from the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Theology from the University of Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam regarding their comprehension and acceptance of the theory of evolution. A survey model was used involving a quantitative research design. The working group of the study was composed of 425 university students attending a state university in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey. Gender, faculty, department, year and political views of the teacher candidates were used as independent variables of the study. According to the findings obtained from the study, the tendency to accept evolution was higher among first year female students from the science department of the Faculty of Education compared to male students in the Faculty of Theology. This tendency was also higher among students with leftist ideas compared to students with other political views. Significant differences in various dimensions were also observed. It was found that university students' acceptance of the theory of evolution was low. This view was as expected mainly due to the students living in a Muslim country.

We describe the obtained results of the study and practical recommendations for developing college teachers' technological readiness for using virtual educational environment during the professional activity in credit educational technology.
Critical Inquiry as Virtuous Truth-Telling: Implications of Phronesis and Parrhesia
Author: Pickup, Austin
Date: 2016-00-00
Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Critical Theory,Inquiry,Ethics,Rhetoric,Philosophy,Discourse Analysis,Praxis,Educational Theories,Epistemology

This article examines critical inquiry and truth-telling from the perspective of two complementary theoretical frameworks. First, Aristotelian phronesis, or practical wisdom, offers a framework for truth that is oriented toward ethical deliberation while recognizing the contingency of practical application. Second, Foucauldian parrhesia calls for an engaged sense of truth-telling that requires risk from the inquirer while grounding truth in the complexity of human discourse. Taken together, phronesis and parrhesia orient inquirers toward intentional truth-telling practices that resist simplistic renderings of criticality and overly technical understandings of research. This article argues that truly critical inquiry must spring from the perspectives of phronesis and parrhesia, providing research projects that aim at virtuous truth-telling over technical veracity with the hope of contributing to ethical discourse and social praxis. A bibliography is included.
Dropping My Anchor Here: A Post-Oppositional Approach to Social Justice Work in Education

In this paper, I explore the ways in which post-oppositional theorizing can be used to bridge between qualitative inquiry and praxis to address issues of inequities in education. I present an overview of how oppositional thinking has been privileged in academia creating an ontological trapping, with subsequent drainage of our energies and efforts. I offer post-oppositional onto-epistemologies as an invitation to examine our wounds, deeply held belief systems, and understand their manifestations forms while using a critical, post-oppositional lens. Thus, I advocate for cultivating conditions via post-oppositionality that would create onto-epistemic shifts in our scholarly activist work in education. Critical inquiry using post-opppositionality allows for imaginations and enactments of possibilities (without demonizing oppositional discourses), that affect the lives of those who suffer from the networked effects of various social structures of oppression in education.
Intimate Inquiry: A Love-Based Approach to Qualitative Research

Academics have a hard time talking about the role of &quot;love&quot; in social research, and the lack of a working definition for its meaning only partly explains our difficulty. The more substantial barrier is our tendency to think about &quot;research&quot; not as a careful exploration of specific social, intellectual, or methodological problems that bear on the everyday circumstances of real people, but as the product of observable and replicable processes, of science. Love, many would argue, has nothing to do with this. I beg to differ. In previous publications, I have offered a radical counter narrative of the possibilities that a broadened view might enable. Using my own research experiences and efforts to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline, I sketched the beginnings of an &quot;intimate&quot; approach to qualitative inquiry that is grounded in feminist theory, governed by an &quot;ethic of love,&quot; and expressed as &quot;love acts&quot; for the individuals whose lives our work aims to shape. Here, I reconsider, push, and refine these ideas with greater attention to telling truth and offering practical wisdom.

The relevance of the subject of this article is determined by an incomplete coverage of a vast domain of ethnocultural knowledge in the existing programs of training of the future educators, which allows to comprehend the values, implication and meaning of the legacy of the past and its role in the development of an individual, society and humanity at large. The aim if this article is to develop a structural-functional model of ethnocultural training of the future educators. The leading method of this research is a modeling approach, which considers the ethnocultural training of the future educators as a purposeful and organized process of formation of their ethnocultural competency. The article addresses the nature of ethnocultural competency of an educator, and its component elements (ethnopedagogical, ethnopsychological, multicultural sub-competencies); it develops a structural-functional model of ethnocultural training of the future educators, and proves the efficiency of organizational pedagogical conditions of formation of ethnocultural competency of the future educators. The discovered structural-functional model of ethnocultural training of the future educators, comprised of such component elements as an objective, content, organizational process and result, allows to enhance the process of formation of ethnopedagogical, ethnopsychological and multicultural knowledge and skills of the future educators; to develop the skills of professional and personal self-realisation in a multicultural environment; to generate ethnosensitivity to the country-specific factor. This article's material may be applied in the organization of educational process designed to form an ethnocultural individual in every segment of the educational system.

Play areas of entertainment and development are new recourses for modern city children, but at the same time, they produce risks of road traffic accidents, deviation, social inequality and social exclusion. Playgrounds in city/town yards are free zones of children's pastime, where children communicate and play together. The aim of this article is to consider children's playgrounds as semantic centers of town children's everyday life and to analyze their role in the social life of children of different age groups. Our research has made it possible to compare children's and adults' views on playgrounds. The position of parents is characterized by assessment of safety, variety of play equipment and developmental orientation. The importance of playgrounds for children is defined by possibilities of free communication and playing with other children.
Toward a Methodology of Death: Deleuze's &quot;Event&quot; as Method for Critical Ethnography

This article examines how qualitative researchers, specifically ethnographers, might utilize complex philosophical concepts in order to disrupt the normative truth-telling practices embedded in social science research. Drawing on my own research experiences, I move toward a methodology of death (for researcher/researched alike) grounded in Deleuze's philosophy-as-method and his concept of event. I approach ethnographic research with this concept in mind in order to unpack the experiences of Latino immigrant youth activism during a critical ethnography in Chicago. I suggest that new ways of thinking with Deleuze in qualitative inquiry might offer a breakthrough/breakdown and death of systems of thought that position research subjects in limiting ways, ultimately arguing that Deleuzian &quot;event&quot; offers the possibility for the birth of new selves.
Turning the Lens: Reflexivity in Research &amp; Teaching with Critical Discourse Analysis

Subjects: Discourse Analysis,Critical Theory,Race,Reflection,Educational Research,Social Justice,Action Research,Preservice Teachers,Mathematics Teachers,Secondary School Mathematics,Student Teachers

This article explores the use of Critical Discourse Analysis in truth-telling in education research. I argue that without critical reflexivity Critical Discourse Analysis can become a means of reinforcing and reinscribing some of the same dominant discourses that we critique. Here I suggest the recognition that in the role of teacher and researcher we are also caught up in dominant discourses. As such we need to include our own discourse use (both teaching and writing) in our analysis and critique. In doing so we can more effectively use CDA for truth-telling. To illustrate I present two sample analyses from a social justice oriented action research course for secondary preservice mathematics teachers. I include my own use of discourse in the analysis both as the teacher of the course and then critique my written analysis of the same class.

The paper analyzes the collections of the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (MAE RAS) and the Russian Ethnographic Museum (REM) (St. Petersburg, Russian Federation). Their study is of great importance both in the scientific-theoretical and practical aspects. In theory, their study is of particular interest, since at the turn of XXth century customs of the Kazakhs underwent dramatic changes, many traditions, which remained intact for centuries, were perceived as archaisms. The museum collections became the material and information basis, which could be used to reliably reconstruct the traditional way of life of the Kazakhs. The main objective of this paper is to study the collections of traditional Kazakh clothing (19th century), describing specific features of its national ornaments, comparison of modern and traditional ornamentation (19th century). Relevance of the problem being under study is amplified in the context of universal cultural globalization. Against this background, the uniqueness and originality of the Kazakh ethnic culture are threatened with extinction. This study reveals key tendencies related to the cultural impact of globalization on the ethnic and cultural identity of the modern Kazakh society by the example of studying national ornaments on traditional clothing. The authors conclude that some of the decorative motifs, presented in modern renovated clothes are applied incorrectly. The paper provides analysis of the factors that caused this phenomenon and recommendations to improve cultural background of the population.
Critical Inquiry for the Social Good: Methodological Work as a Means for Truth-Telling in Education
Author: Kuntz, Aaron M.
Date: 2016-00-00
Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Critical Thinking,Inquiry,Teaching Methods,Social Justice,Ethics,Praxis,Ethnography

This article questions the ubiquity of the term &quot;critical&quot; in methodological scholarship, calling for a renewed association of the term with projects concerned with social justice, truth-telling, and overt articulations of the social good. Drawing on Michel Foucault's work with parrhesia (or truth-telling) and Aristotle's articulation of phronesis (or practical knowledge), the authors situate critical inquiry as a political project of interrupting the present for a more socially-just future. A bibliography is included.
