Realism, Modernism, Postmodernism: Five Modern Literary Texts in Context

E-book

Soňa Šnircová

This textbook has been designed as supporting material for the postgraduate course on modern trends in European literature. It focuses on the presentation of five modern literary modes of writing: the realistic mode which was brought to its prominence by the nineteenth-century Realist movement; the stream-of-consciousness and ‘absurdist’ modes which were developed in the context of modernism; and the magical realist and metafictional modes which are associated mainly with postmodernist literary trends. Each mode is represented by a well-known text which demonstrates the formal aspects of each mode and deals with the thematic concerns typical of the literary movement that influenced its production. The textbook adopts an interdisciplinary approach, placing the chosen literary texts into the historical, philosophical and cultural contexts that shaped their characters, and thereby providing the background knowledge necessary for a deeper understanding of their formal and thematic aspects.

Základy školskej psychológie

Ján Hvozdík

With great interest, I read the proposal for the reissue of the monograph by Prof. PhDr. Ján Hvozdík, DrSc., Základy školskej psychológie (Foundations of School Psychology). It was an honor for me to be part of the editorial board for the new edition of the textbook.

The reissue comes at a time when school psychology seems to be experiencing a renaissance in its application. This is no coincidence, as the professor’s conception of school psychology as a theoretical-applied and integrated psychological discipline strives not only directly but also indirectly, through the pedagogical practice of teachers, to influence specific situations in educational practice within the school environment. From my perspective, I also appreciate the attention given in the textbook to the ever-relevant topic of self-directed learning, that is, the autodidactics of pupils and students. School psychology has become a core subject, within which its specializations are also realized.

It is worth mentioning the fact that, under the conditions of totalitarianism, the professor was not a member of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, and yet he made significant contributions to the development of school counseling, both in theory and in practice, which commands respect and admiration. The reissue of the textbook is not an apology but rather a celebration of his positive contributions.

Proceedings of Extended Abstracts from Interdisciplinary Scientific Conference

Conference proceedings comprise extended abstracts from contributions that were presented during the conference Negative consequences of performing helping professions II – Psychological, social and health aspects of performing helping professions, which was held on 12th of June 2019 in Košice.

The conference was organized as one of the outputs of the research project APVV 14-0921 Self-care as a factor of coping with the negative consequences of the practicizing the helping professions. Abstracts present either original research by the authors or summaries of the authors' findings in their long-term research activities focused on helping professions. One of the ambitions of the conference was to create a space for dialogue between academics and professionals working in helping professions. The interdisciplinary character of the conference has brought new ideas and perception of this issue, which has also been reflected in the rich response during the discussions. Professionals from field of psychology, social work, occupational medicine and behavioral medicine participated actively or passively in the conference.

Thus, the enriching aspect of the resulting proceedings is the interconnection of applied and theoretical studies related to wide range of helping professions.

Začínajúci učiteľ a školská legislatíva I.

E-book

Zuzana Boberová

Cieľom predkladanej vysokoškolskej učebnice je poskytnúť predovšetkým ucelený a systematický prehľad o základných legislatívnych dokumentoch, ktoré sú späté s pedagogickým pôsobením a výchovno-vzdelávacou činnosťou učiteľov v školskej praxi. Vysokoškolská učebnica je v prvom rade určená študentom učiteľstva akademických predmetov, ale aj čerstvým absolventom učiteľského štúdia, ktorí sú v pozícii začínajúceho učiteľa.
Predkladaná publikácia je výnimočná tým, že sa nezameriava na konkrétne legislatívne dokumenty a ich popis, ale sprístupňuje význam a znenie viacerých legislatívnych dokumentov v kontexte kľúčových pojmov výchovno-vzdelávacej činnosti učiteľa a typických školských situácii. V publikácii neuvádzame plné znenie citovaných paragrafov zákonov, vyhlášok a rezortných usmernení ale len výňatky, ktoré sú v súlade so zameraním a potrebami učebnice. Takto chceme pomôcť študentom učiteľstva a začínajúcim učiteľom zorientovať sa v ich právach ale aj povinnostiach, ktoré definuje a vymedzuje školská legislatíva a najmä zorientovať sa v základných legislatívnych požiadavkách, ktoré sa kladú na každého učiteľa v školskej praxi, počnúc podieľaním sa na príprave školského vzdelávacieho programu, orientáciou sa v kvalifikačnom raste učiteľov, v hodnotení žiakov, v prístupe k žiakom so špeciálnymi potrebami, až po bežné školské situácie ako udelenie výchovného opatrenia, školský úraz, lyžiarsky výcvik alebo školská akcia. Vzhľadom na rozsah uvedených oblastí, sme jednotlivé témy rozdelili do dvoch publikácií podľa tematického zamerania.

In connection with the 30th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, which was commemorated in the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 2019, an interactive exhibition titled "First Touch of Freedom" was organized under the auspices of Košice Self-Governing Region in collaboration with Ján Bocatius Public Library in Košice, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, Nation's Memory Institute, and Slovak Radio and Television. The exhibition took place at Ján Bocatius Public Library and aimed to recall November's events from 1989 while emphasizing its cultural-social dimension and impact.

Conceptually, it focused on developing five dimensions of historical consciousness—a concept mainly developed in contemporary subject-specific didactics for history—namely identity, historicity, memory, spatial awareness, and temporal awareness.
