Pierwsza z trzech śląskich insurekcji we współczesnej narracji podręcznikowej Casus opracowań dla szkół ponadgimnazjalnych i ponadpodstawowych
2020
Nie wszyscy zdają sobie sprawę z tego, że szkolne podręczniki historii to dla wielu ludzi jedyne książki historyczne, z którymi mieli styczność w ciągu swojego życia. To stwierdzenie powinno zachęcać do systematycznego monitorowania zarówno treści, jak i obudowy dydaktycznej tego rodzaju opracowań. Wychodząc z tego założenia, autor artykułu przeanalizował ponad 20 najpopularniejszych podręczników historii, przygotowanych dla uczniów szkół ponadgimnazjalnych w latach 1989-2019. Celem analizy było zobrazowanie I powstania śląskiego z 1919 r. Zdaniem większości autorów podręczników szkolnych decyzja o przeprowadzeniu plebiscytu na Górnym Śląsku, zapisana w traktacie wersalskim, wywołała antago…
The issue of mathematics textbooks in the correspondence of Giovanni Novi to Enrico Betti during the Unification of Italy
2013
The Unification of Italy represented a political, educational and mathematical turning point; leading researchers worked to raise both the mathematical and political standard in Italy through their active role in the reform of the Italian educational system at the secondary as well as at the university levels. One of the aims was to adapt the elementary books of mathematics to the progress of mathematics, through the translation of new works too. In the Archivio Betti, at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, there are 48 letters that the mathematician Giovanni Novi (1826-1866) sent his friend Enrico Betti (1823-1892) from December of 1850 to October of 1864. Novi translated important treat…
“From Savage to Sublime (And Partway Back): Indians and Antiquity in Early Nineteenth-Century American Literature”
2016
This article examines the comparisons made between Indians and Antiquity in early nineteenth-century American literature (notably in the works of Washington Irving and James Fenimore Cooper); to do so, it begins by reaching back to references in European and American writings of the eighteenth century. One of the main motivations behind the associations between Native Americans and the Ancient World made in the early decades of the nineteenth century was to “elevate” Indians in order to transform them into worthy symbols of the recently established United States. Such associations also rendered them suitable subjects for treatment by authors inspired to a large extent by the Romantic Moveme…
A comparative analysis on Finnish and Korean high school English textbooks in the perspective of communicative language teaching
2016
English textbooks are a key resource for English courses in both Finnish and Korean high schools. The present study aims to compare the similarities and differences of Finnish and Korean high school English textbooks and analyze them from the perspective of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) on which English textbooks of both countries are theoretically based. Two English textbooks have been selected from each country for this research. One textbook is targeted for 10th grade and the other for 11th grade. The textbooks have been analyzed according to six dimensions: textbook structure, vocabulary, language forms, topics and cultural backgrounds, communicative functions, and activities fo…
Polityczne uwarunkowania powrotu Polski nad Bałtyk w latach 1918 –1920 w podręcznikach do nauczania historii. Casus krajowych opracowań dla szkół pon…
2021
The year 2020 saw the centenary of the return of Pomerania to Poland, which regained access to the Baltic Sea. This event, along with many other issues connected with the establishment of the Polish state after the First World War, has been the subject of historians’ research for years. This also applies to history educators who analyse the contents of school textbooks. The author of this article, which is consistent with this research trend, decided to analyse dozens of the most popular textbooks for teaching history in secondary schools used by Polish pupils over the past 30 years, i.e. in the period from 1990 to 2020. The article primarily uses the philological and comparative methods. T…
The political and military struggle to incorporate Greater Poland into Poland after World War i, in history textbooks the Case of Polish High School …
2022
The vast majority oj historians view school history education as extremely important. They emphasise that it plays a key role not only in shaping young people s knowledge about the past, but also in defining the historical awareness of the whole ofsociety, because ofiten what students learn at school determines their lijelong knowledge about many historical issues. Unfortunately, awareness o f these obvious statements dpes not go hand in hand with respect for the achievements of history didactics. This is a scientific discipline in which one of the most important research areas is the analysis of school history textbooks, which are still basie sources of students’ knowledge about the past, …
L’enseignement de la civilisation française en Italie durant la période fasciste dans le discours préfaciel des manuels publiés entre 1923 et 1933
2020
In this article, we have chosen to study the prefaces of textbooks for the teaching of the French language published between 1923 and 1933 which mention, and this for the first time in Italy, in the title or the subtitle, the term Civilization. We analyze the way in which the authors of the textbooks for teaching the French language decided to present Civilization. We identify their objectives by taking into consideration the introductory texts of these manuals where we can capture the ‘declarations of intent’ of the authors. We highlight the main speeches that crisscross the prefaces of these manuals.
Les débuts de l’enseignement du français commercial en Italie, de la Loi Casati à la Réforme Gentile
2019
In this paper, the focus is, first of all, on the organization of commercial education and French language teaching programs after the coming into force of the Casati Law; then the study focuses on the pedagogical aspects of a body of textbooks. For each aspect, we highlight the differences and, at the same time, the similarities of the methods present in the textbooks used for the teaching of the French language in schools and technical institutes.
Reasoning and proving in Algebra. Examples from 8th grade school mathematics textbooks in Italy
2022
Some research studies concerning the didactics of Algebra discuss how learning to solve problems using symbolic algebraic language can be hard for students (Bohlmann et al., 2014; Palm, 2009). Students, in fact, have often difficulty to learn the ways in which the sym- bols should be manipulated to argue or to prove an assertion in order to reach a problem solu- tions. Although many studies conducted by mathematics educators discussed important contri- butions to this subject (e.g. Arzarello, Robutti & Bazzini, 2005; Boero, 2001; Carraher, Schliemann, Brizuela & Earnest, 2006; Lins & Kaput, 2004; Ursini & Trigueros, 2001), not many analysis were conducted on the role of the …
Climate change and sustainability in Primary Education. Problems and solutions proposed by the Social Sciences textbooks
2021
El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar las propuestas y actividades relacionadas con la solución a los efectos del cambio climático y la sostenibilidad que se insertan en los actuales libros de texto de Ciencias Sociales españoles (Educación Primaria). A partir de la consulta de las principales editoriales que se usan en España (Anaya, Bromera, Santillana, SM y Vicens Vives), se han analizado los manuales correspondientes al 3er ciclo (5º y 6º). Tras la revisión de estos recursos se han categorizado 3 tipos de soluciones: 1) propuestas sobre recomendaciones a seguir, tanto colectivas como individuales; 2) actividades en las que el alumnado debe proponer soluciones; y 3) información s…
