Practices, Perceptions and Personal Theory of Teachers About Teaching of Reading Comprehension and Text Production
No full textΣύμφωνα με τις σύγχρονες θεωρίες για τον γραπτό λόγο στόχος είναι οι μαθητές να γίνουν αυτόνομοι αναγνώστες/συγγραφείς. Η παρούσα μελέτη επιχείρησε να ελέγξει αν οι εκπαιδευτικοί στο δημοτικό σχολείο έχουν αναπτύξει κάποια προσέγγιση στην οποία στηρίζουν τη συστηματική διδασκαλία της αναγνωστικής κατανόησης και της παραγωγής γραπτών κειμένων. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι οι εκπαιδευτικοί εκφράζουν απόψεις σχετικά με τη διδασκαλία των κειμενικών ειδών και χρησιμοποιούν πρακτικές διδασκαλίας. Ωστόσο, οι περισσότεροι δε χρησιμοποιούν στρατηγικές για το στάδιο κατά την ανάγνωση και για τις συγγραφικές διαδικασίες της καταγραφής και της αναθεώρησης-βελτίωσης. Εντοπίζουν συγκεκριμένες δυσκολίες των μαθητών ως προς την παραγωγή. Αναφέρονται σε αξιολόγηση, αλλά ιδίως για την αναγνωστική κατανόηση οι περισσότεροι θεωρούν ότι εξαρτάται μάλλον από άλλους παράγοντες και λιγότερο από την ίδια τη διδασκαλία. Θεωρούν σημαντική την κατάκτηση και τη χρήση στρατηγικών, αλλά δεν αναφέρονται σε ρητή και συστηματική διδασκαλία τους στην τάξη.According to contemporary theories, the goal for students is to become independent writers/ readers. Τhe present postgraduate research tried to establish whether primary school teachers have developed a theory for the systematic teaching of reading comprehension and text production. The results of the research showed that teachers express their opinions about teaching of text genres and use practices of teaching. Nevertheless, the majority of teachers do not use strategies for the ‘during reading’ stage and for the processes of writing and reviewing. They highlight specific difficulties of their students’ text production. They believe that students’ reading comprehension and text production are testable, but especially regarding reading comprehension the majority of teachers believe that it depends more on other factors than instruction. They emphasize the importance of strategies’ use and learning, but they do not make reference to accurate and systematic teaching of strategies in the context of classroom
Greek public archaeological museums in the 21st century: who manages them?
No full textA TOPIC that recently caused a public debate in Greece is an administrative reform envisaged by the incumbent government; the reform regards the transformation of a number of public, state-run archaeological museums to legal entities that would be managed by a government-appointed board of trustees. The discussion that ensued presents us with an opportunity to ponder, once more, on the present and future of museums, of the archaeological finds kept in them and of their management by the state through its representatives, the archaeologists of the Greek Archaeological Service. In the current paper the matter is seen primarily as a property issue, an aspect which is current in international literature; yet, it also plays into a wider issue in the field of studies of past societies, namely to whom does antiquity ‘belong’ to, who has a right to speak about antiquity, and who has the right and the responsibility to manage the material remains of past societies.A TOPIC that recently caused a public debate in Greece is an administrative reform envisaged by the incumbent government; the reform regards the transformation of a number of public, state-run archaeological museums to legal entities that would be managed by a government-appointed board of trustees.

The remembrance of parental acceptance-rejection and its effect to psychological well-being
No full textΟ σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν η μελέτη της επίδρασης της αντιλαμβανόμενης γονικής αποδοχής-απόρριψης κατά την παιδική ηλικία στην ψυχική ευεξία του ατόμου κατά τη διάρκεια της ενήλικης ζωής, αλλά και κατά πόσο η επίδραση αυτή διαμεσολαβείται μέσα από άλλους παράγοντες όπως είναι ο ενήλικος δεσμός και το διαμορφωμένο στυλ διαπροσωπικών σχέσεων. Η έρευνα διεξήχθη σε 729 φοιτητές από τους οποίους οι 344 ήταν άντρες και οι 384 γυναίκες με μέση ηλικία τα 21 έτη. Οι κλίμακες αυτοαναφοράς που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν συγκέντρωναν δεδομένα γύρω από δημογραφικά στοιχεία, την ενθυμούμενη γονική αποδοχή-απόρριψη, τον ενήλικο δεσμό, το διαπροσωπικό στυλ και την ψυχική ευεξία. Τα αποτελέσματα ανέδειξαν ότι πράγματι ο ενήλικος δεσμός διαμεσολαβεί στη σχέση της αντιλαμβανόμενης γονικής αποδοχής-απόρριψης και της ψυχικής ευεξίας με την επίδραση του δεσμού υψηλής αποφυγής να παρουσιάζει μεγαλύτερη επίδραση από το δεσμό υψηλού άγχους. Τέλος, το μόνο διαπροσωπικό στυλ που αποδείχθηκε ως διαμεσολαβητικός παράγοντας ήταν εκείνο που αφορούσε την υγιή εξάρτηση. Τα παραπάνω ευρήματα συμβάλλουν στην περαιτέρω κατανόηση του βαθμού, αλλά και του τρόπου με τον οποίο η αποδοχή-απόρριψη από την πλευρά των γονέων κατά την παιδική ηλικία μπορεί να επηρεάσει την ψυχική ευεξία του ατόμου σε επόμενα στάδια της ζωής του.The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of perceived parental acceptance-rejection in childhood on psychological well-being during adulthood, but also whether this effect is mediated through other factors such as adult attachment and the interpersonal profile test. The study was conducted on 729 students of whom 344 were men and 384 were women with a mean age of 21 years. The self-report scales used gathered data around demographics, recalled parental acceptance-rejection, adult attachment, interpersonal style, and psychological well-being. The results showed that adult attachment mediates the relationship between perceived parental acceptance-rejection and psychological well-being with the effect of the dysfunctional detachment having a greater effect than the destructive overdependence. Finally, the only interpersonal style that proved to act as a mediating factor was the healthy dependency. Findings contribute to the further understanding of the degree, but also of the way in which the acceptance-rejection by parents during childhood can affect the psychological well-being of the individual in later stages of lifespan
The Tree of Life in Four Seasons: an Educational Application in the Archaeological Museum of Rethymno
No full textH εργασία αυτή αποτελεί μία πρόταση εναλλακτικής παρουσίασης εκθεμάτων του Αρχαιολογικού Μουσείου Ρεθύμνου στα οποία απεικονίζονται δέντρα, η οποία πραγματοποιήθηκε το 2009, στο πλαίσιο της οριζόντιας δράσης του Υπουργείου Πολιτισμού (και Τουρισμού, τότε) με θέμα Το δέντρο της ζωής σε τέσσερις εποχές.
Για την υλοποίησή της χρησιμοποιήθηκε μία θεματική ενότητα παραστάσεων δέντρων (ελιάς, κυπαρισσιού, ροδιάς και φοίνικα). Στόχος ήταν να γίνει λόγος για τον σεβασμό της φύσης και το τοπίο ως τόπο αναφοράς μιας κοινότητας και ως πλαίσιο αναφοράς των μνημείων.
Για τη βιωματική εμπειρία, την ενσυναισθητική εμπλοκή των συμμετεχόντων και τον αναστοχασμό σχετικά με το θέμα, δραματοποιήθηκε ο αρχαίος ελληνικός μύθος του Ερυσίχθονα.In this paper, we present a proposition of an alternative representation of objects with plant decoration in the Archeological Museum of Rethymno, undertaken in 2009, in the frame of the horizontal activity “The tree of life in four seasons”, proposed by the Ministry of Culture.
For its realization we used an ensemble of tree motifs (olive tree, cypress, pomegranate and palm tree). Our target was to speak about the respect owed to nature and the landscape as reference place of a community and as frame of reference of the monuments.
For the experience, the sentimental complicity (empathy) of the participants and the self-reflection on these subjects, we dramatized the ancient Greek myth of Erysichton
Conceptual Approaches and Theoretical Indications of Teacher’s Professional Development
No full textΗ επαγγελματική ανάπτυξη του εκπαιδευτικού αποτελεί σημαντικό θέμα για τους εκπαιδευτικούς, ενώ γενικά αναγνωρίζεται η συμβολή και η σημασία της σε ένα συνεχώς εξελισσόμενο και μεταβαλλόμενο εκπαιδευτικό περιβάλλον. Στην παρούσα μελέτη επιδιώκεται η μελέτη και η αποτύπωση των ποικίλων θεωρητικών και εννοιολογικών προσεγγίσεων της έννοιας μέσα από το ελληνική και τη διεθνή ερευνητική βιβλιογραφία. Όπως διαπιστώνεται, τα γνωρίσματα και τα χαρακτηριστικά της επαγγελματικής ανάπτυξης ταξινομούνται σε επτά βασικές διαστάσεις, οι οποίες διαμορφώνουν, εξελίσσονται και αναδιαμορφώνονται κατά τη διάρκεια της σταδιοδρομίας των εκπαιδευτικών. Η προτεινόμενη ταξινόμηση μπορεί να χρησιμεύσει ως θεωρητικό θεμέλιο για περαιτέρω διερεύνηση της παρέμβασης των θεωρητικών προσεγγίσεων και του αντίκτυπου τους στην καθημερινή πρακτική στη σύγχρονη εκπαιδευτική πραγματικότητα.The teacher professional development constitutes an important topic for teachers, while its contribution and significance in a constantly-evolving and changing education environment is generally acknowledged. This study explores the different theoretical depictions and conceptual approaches of the notion of professional development in the Greek and international research literature. The professional development components and features are classified in seven primary dimensions, which formulate, evolve, and reformulate during the teachers’ career path. The proposed classification can serve as a theoretical foundation for exploring the intervention of the theoretical approaches and their impact on the daily practice in the contemporary educational reality
The work and thinking of Stavros Zoumboulakis
No full textTHIS essay is based on the speech made at the award ceremony honoring Stavros Zoumboulakis with the title of Doctor Honoris Causa of the Department of Philology at the University of Crete (Rethymnon, 3 December 2019). The purpose of the essay is to discuss Zoumboulakis’ contribution to literary studies, as well as to focus on important aspects of his engagement as a public intellectual. Zoumboulakis was the chief editor of Nea Hestia, the longest-running Greek literary review, from 1998 until 2012. During his editorship, Nea Hestia exerted considerable influence on intellectual life in Greece. In many of his essays Zoumboulakis explores the connection between literature and ethics. He has shown a strong interest in European and American novels written by Jewish and Christian authors and he deals with topics such as the history of Judaism, antisemitism and the Holocaust. He has examined the pivotal role of Christianity in the historical development of hatred against Jews and he has contributed to the ongoing debate on questions regarding the philosophical and theological implications of the Holocaust. Another of his permanent concerns is the complex relationship between religion and modernity; he mainly discusses the long and difficult process of reconciliation between Christian faith and the principles of modern democracy. He also argues that it is only the secular state (l’état laïque) that can guarantee the peaceful coexistence of believers of the three monotheistic religions.THIS essay is based on the speech made at the award ceremony honoring Stavros Zoumboulakis with the title of Doctor Honoris Causa of the Department of Philology at the University of Crete (Rethymnon, 3 December 2019).

Towards an anthropological aesthetics of the demonstration. The photographs of the Serge Collet archive
No full textTHIS paper is a first attempt to gather up and structure the visual material collected in the Serge Collet Archive at the University of Crete, which concerns the photographic documentation of public protest marches in France during the 1970s. After a brief introduction to Collet’s ethnological research and to his early interest in the anthropology of demonstrations, follows a presentation of the archive textual, audio, and visual material, accompanied by a number of remarks on the historical, social, and cultural context of the ’70s in France. The inventory of the archive enables us to raise a number of methodological questions pertaining to cultural anthropology and the use of visual documentation for research purposes. Special focus is given to Collet’s approach of photography and to the theoretical, mostly structuralist, sociological and semiological background that informs it. I argue that the elements that compose this approach converge towards an aesthetics of the demonstration, for which the image is not merely an object of study but a first-hand tool for knowledge production.THIS paper is a first attempt to gather up and structure the visual material collected in the Serge Collet Archive at the University of Crete, which concerns the photographic documentation of public protest marches in France during the 1970s.

No full textΗ οικογένεια αποτελεί την πρώτη κοινωνικοποιητική ομάδα που επιδρά σημαντικά στη διαμόρφωση της συμπεριφοράς και της προσωπικότητας. Η παρούσα επισκόπηση αποτελεί μια ολιστική προσέγγιση. Στοχεύει να αναδείξει την επίδραση της οικογένειας στην εμπλοκή των μαθητών στο σχολικό εκφοβισμό, από την βρεφική περίοδο έως και την εφηβεία,
Ειδικότερα, αναδεικνύονται μια ευρεία σειρά παραγόντων της οικογένειας, όπως, οι πρώιμες σχέσεις με το πρόσωπο φροντίδας, η ποιότητα προσκόλλησης και ο γονικός δεσμός, το σύστημα της οικογένειας - με τη δομή, τη λειτουργία και τις διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις των μελών μεταξύ τους, - ο τρόπος άσκησης του γονικού ρόλου, η ανατροφή και η διαπαιδαγώγηση, που στο σύνολο τους επιδρούν ως διαμεσολαβητές στην εκδήλωση της εκφοβιστικής συμπεριφοράς και της θυματοποίησης.The family is the first socializing group that significantly influences the formation of behavior and personality.

Risk Management in Primary School Units
No full textTο παρόν άρθρο διαπραγματεύεται το θέμα της διαχείρισης κινδύνων στις σχολικές μονάδες Πρωτοβάθμιας Δημοτικής Εκπαίδευσης της Δημοτικής Ενότητας Γαζίου. Στόχος του είναι, η διερεύνηση των κινδύνων, η εξακρίβωση για το εάν πληρούνται τα απαραίτητα μέτρα ασφάλειας βάση του ισχύοντος νομοθετικού πλαισίου και η επιβεβαίωση για το εάν το εκπαιδευτικό προσωπικό τους είναι ενημερωμένο, καταρτισμένο και σε πλήρη ετοιμότητα, όσον αφορά τα θέματα ασφάλειας. Επίσης, στοχεύει να διαπιστώσει εάν έχουν γίνει οι απαιτούμενες δραστηριότητες για τη σχολική ασφάλεια και τέλος να προβάλλει την ανάγκη μελλοντικών ενεργειών. Για να πραγματοποιηθούν οι παραπάνω στόχοι, δημιουργήθηκε ένα ερωτηματολόγιο τριών ενοτήτων, βασιζόμενο κατά κύριο λόγο σε βιβλιογραφικές πηγές. Στη συμπλήρωση του ερωτηματολογίου, συμμετείχαν 103 εκπαιδευτικοί Πρωτοβάθμιας Δημοτικής Εκπαίδευσης. Από τη στατιστική ανάλυση προκύπτει ότι, οι εκπαιδευτικοί επισήμαναν την ύπαρξη πολλών παραγόντων κινδύνου στο σύνολο των σχολικών μονάδων, την έλλειψη κατάρτισης αυτών σε θέματα σχολικής ασφάλειας και πρόληψης ατυχημάτων, ενώ αναφορικά με τις σχολικές δραστηριότητες πάνω σε θέματα ασφάλειας, γνώριζαν μόνο για την επικείμενη άσκηση ετοιμότητας έναντι σεισμού. Εν κατακλείδι, η συντριπτική πλειοψηφία των εκπαιδευτικών θεωρεί απαραίτητη την επιβολή αλλαγών στα θέματα ασφάλειας, την κατάρτιση των ίδιων μέσω εξειδικευμένων σεμιναρίων και την διάθεση περισσοτέρων κονδυλίων, για την εξασφάλιση των αναγκαίων μέτρων ασφάλειας εντός των σχολικών μονάδων.This article deals with the issue of risk management in Primary School Units of the Municipality Unit of Gazi. Its aim is to investigate the risks, to verify whether the necessary security measures are being met under the current legislative framework and the confirmation that the educational personnel is informed, trained and fully prepared for security issues. It also aims to find out if the necessary activities for school safety have been done and finally to highlight the need for future actions. To achieve the above objectives, it was created a three-module questionnaire, which was based on bibliographic sources. For the completion of this questionnaire 103 Primary School teachers participated. Statistical analysis shows that, the teachers have highlighted not only the existence of many risk factors in all school units, but also the lack of training for them in school safety issues and accident prevention, while they were only aware of the impending earthquake exercise of readiness, concerning the activities for the school safety. In conclusion, the overwhelming majority of teachers believe that changes are necessary to be imposed in safety issues, as well as their training by specialized seminars. They also suggest that more funds should be available to ensure the necessary safety measures within the school units
Ritual gone wrong in Demetrius–Antony: Or, ‘you’re not a deity, you’re a very naughty boy’
Get PDFRAPPORT and mutual understanding are important to ritual: signals are sent out, and it is important that they are received in the right way. In Demetrius and Antony Plutarch traces the way in which ritual goes wrong and mutual understanding breaks down. Demetrius is greeted with divine honours, but misunderstands the terms on which the honours are paid: like other Hellenistic monarchs, he mistakes the show for reality, and does not know when it is time to lay the role-playing aside. In Antony the themes are juggled and re-sorted. At times Antony does achieve real rapport, with his men, with the Athenian public, at Alexandria; but he misjudges ritual at the Lupercalia, and much of his role-playing misfires badly at Rome. The pair ends with other ritual echoes as Cleopatra dies, echoes that might be expected to suggest a travesty of propriety but for her, paradoxically, seem exactly right.RAPPORT and mutual understanding are important to ritual: signals are sent out, and it is important that they are received in the right way.
