Reflection of three prominent religious, mythological and epic themes in mystical texts
Get PDFZoroaster, Jamshid and Kaykhosrow are among the personalities who have a large part of the culture and beliefs of ancient Iran. Art and literature have also provided a good platform for the widespread reflection of such wondrous themes in mystical texts. The influence of Zoroastrian teachings on the thought, culture and customs of ancient Iran is undeniable. The era of Jamshid's narration in ancient Iran and Shahnameh is highly respected for its tranquility, abundance of blessings, and abundant social services. In addition to Barkikhosrow, who is one of the virtuous and most prominent mystical figures in Avesta and Shahnameh, the epics and myths of Shahnameh have greatly influenced the mystical texts of later centuries, and mystics, referring to the myths and epics of Shahnameh, have the deepest mystical expressions. Ethical. The myth is derived from the Greek "history", meaning search, knowledge and story, and is closely linked to religious and mystical beliefs, as it contains the menu of ancient humans and the manifestation of their beliefs about the creation of the world, beings and human beings. It is worth mentioning that the main purpose of mystics in dealing with the myths and epics of Shahnameh is to express mystical themes. In this research, an attempt has been made to express three prominent religious, mythological and epic themes: Zoroaster, Jamshid, and Kaykhosrow, and how they are reflected in mystical texts, their transformation and their connections from the beginning to the stage of Islamic perfection and maturity. The method of work in this research is the use of library and written resources based on analysis and description

Fall of the Berlin Wall: Reflection of the Historical Event in the Newest German Drama
Get PDFIn this article, the authors refer to the play “Kein Schiff wird kommen” (“No ship will come”), 2010, by a young German playwright Nisa-Momme Stockmann, in which “historical events are refracted in the context of personal events of the characters”. In the center of the play is a young man, a writer, who was commissioned by the theater to write about the fall of the Berlin Wall. The protagonist of the play is a representative of an indifferent generation, far from politics and history. In 1989, he himself was a child, and the reunification of Germany, at first glance, had no effect on him. However, upon closer inspection, it turns out that the fall of the wall turned out to be an important event for him and his family. Only an appeal to the history of the country and the family helps the character to resolve the internal conflict. This shows the relationship with the tradition of German literature after World War II: German writers often refer to historical facts in their works. The key topic is of guilt and responsibility, which has been rethought in the literature over the past 60 years. Analysing the drama allows us to conclude that modern young people reject their past, which causes the character's personality crisis, and it also leads to failure in communication. In addition, alongside with ousting the past, the problem of German identity arises
Lingvocultural Types in the British Language Picture of the World
Get PDFOne of the mainstreams in linguistics at the end of the XXth - beginning of the XXIst century is a linguocultural modeling of linguistic consciousness and communicative behaviour, i.e. the creation of a certain linguocultural archetype. By itself, the term "linguocultural archetype" is an interdisciplinary concept of cultural linguistics, linguistic conceptology and linguistic personology. The authors of the paper consider a linguocultural archetype, on the one hand, as a set of indicators, which make it possible to find a recognizable image of some individual, and on the other hand, reveal the features typical for a social or ethnic group, which is a binding basis for the archetype. The linguocultural archetypes presented in the paper are considered as typified individuals from a certain ethno-social group; they are recognisable by their characteristic features of verbal and non-verbal behaviour and value orientation in the society. The paper deals with conceptual, figurative, value and associative features of British linguocultural archetypes such as "English policeman", and "knocker up".The important indicators of linguocultural archetypes in cognitive consciousness of people are recurrence, associativity and textuality. The recognisability of the linguocultural archetypes "English policeman" and "knocker up" is stipulated by the mentioning of these professions in films, works of writers and artists, as well as in mass media materials

La evaluación formativa, ¿Realidad o buenas intenciones? Estudio de caso en docentes del nivel primario
Get PDFTo develop the educational process framed within the competence approach, it is necessary to implement changes in the sub-processes, being of interest in this study the change in the evaluation of learning by the evaluation for learning, which implies a paradigmatic change that requires deconstructing a practice rooted in teachers. It is assumed that its successful implementation in the EBR will depend on the educational actors internalize and become aware of the need for this change in the evaluation, this would generate a positive predisposition to its application and the training, workshops and other strategies used to disseminate it are used to acquire the knowledge to support strategies for effective implementation. Faced with this pedagogical phenomenon of great social connotation and the reluctance and inefficiency observed in Peruvian schools, it isconvenient to analyze why the formative evaluation disseminated and embodied in official guide documents is not yet a reality in teaching practice. The answers were sought in a group of teachers involved in its implementation and were contrasted with the opinions of those who officially monitor its implementation in the classrooms, finding ignorance in the processes of this formative evaluation and a stubborn resistance to its application that underlies the teachers, who still use their own actions in other ways of evaluating.Para desarrollar el proceso educativo enmarcado dentro del enfoque por competencias, se requiere implementar cambios en los subprocesos, siendo de interés en este estudio el cambio en la evaluación del aprendizaje por la evaluación para el aprendizaje lo que implica un cambio paradigmático que requiere deconstruir una práctica arraigada en docentes. Se presupone que su implementación exitosa en la EBR dependerá de que los actores educativos interioricen y se concienticen de la necesidad de este cambio en la evaluación, ello generaría predisposición positiva a su aplicación y las capacitaciones, talleres y otras estrategias empleadas para difundirla sean aprovechadas para adquirir el conocimiento en que se respalden las estrategias para una aplicación eficaz. Frente a este fenómeno pedagógico de gran connotación social y ante la renuencia y la ineficacia observada en las escuelas peruanas, resulta conveniente analizar por qué la evaluación formativa difundida y plasmada en los documentos oficiales guías, no es aún una realidad en la práctica docente. Las respuestas se buscaron en un grupo de docentes implicados en su implementación y se contrastaron con las opiniones de quienes monitorean oficialmente su implementación en las aulas, hallándose desconocimiento en los procesos de esta evaluación formativa y una pertinaz resistencia a su aplicación que subyace en los maestros, quienes aún emplean acciones propias de otras formas de evaluar
Power and Society in Russia during the First World War: The Rewiev of Modern Russian Historiography
Get PDFRelevance of the investigated topic is determined by the fact that modern historiography considers the society not only as a receptor but also as independent actor with its own purposes, ideas and interests. The study of society, which is under emergency conditions (wars, revolutions, etc.), is especially interesting for historians and other social sciences researchers. The investigation of historical experience of power and society interaction in Russia can be interesting under modern Russian conditions. The object of the given article is modern Russian historiography of World War I. The article aims to characterize the modern Russian historical literature, which deals with the power and society interaction in Russia in 1914-1917 (from the beginning of World War until the February Revolution in Russia). The authors describe the impact not only internal (source study, methodology) but also external (social and political aspect) factors on historiography. They made a conclusion that modern Russian historians consider the power and society interaction from two main points of view (social and political spheres), describe it as generally constructive and emphasize that at one point collaboration was replaced by confrontation (especially in the political sphere). In modern Russian historiography, there are controversial opinions about some problems (for example, who initiated the interaction: power or society). The materials of the article can be helpful for historians, university professors, teachers, who deal with problems of history of Russian historical science and Russian history of early XX century
Fitting a Model to Students' Cognitive engagement: A Step Towards Accountable Education in Medical Education
Get PDFIntroduction: Motivation is one of the most important effective factors in learning. It can lead to long-lasting learning in connection with identity. Creating an appropriate setting for development and actualization of students with different Scientific, social and cultural abilities is one of the accountable education package’s The Health System Evaluation Plan. Whereas emotion regulation and management is one of the important needs of students and empowering them in this field is a necessity. Method: Present study is a kind of non-experimental design. To speak more precisely, it is a type of correlations design which has analyzed a structural pattern of variables relationship, done in 2016 in Sabzevar university of medical Sciences, 720 students was selected using multistage cluster sampling as the sample group and employed Berzonsky’s identity style Inventory (ISI-3), achievement goals scale of Midgley et al(PALS), and motivated strategies for learning questionnaire (MSLQ). Data was analyzed using path analysis. Results: nformational identity style has both direct and indirect effect (through the intervening role of mastery goals) on cognitive engagement (P<0.01). Normative identity style has an effect The path from diffuse-avoidant identity style to performance-avoidance goals was excluded from fitted model, fitted model predicts 41% of cognitive engagement. Conclusion: Inorder to improve learning, cognitive engagement (mental efforts) can be targeted using motivational and identity variables

Phraseological Transformations in Classical Works of English and Russian Literature
Get PDFThe article aims to reveal and analyze phraseological paradigm of transformed PUs in the context within two remote cognates. The following problems arise: 1) detection and analysis of semantics and semantic structure of transformed phraseological units; 2) allocation of general features of using such PUs in the context; 3) investigation of functioning of such PUs in classical works of English and Russian literature. Semantic, grammatical, componential and contextual aspects of using such phraseological units are analyzed in the present research. The paper presents the analysis and comparison of such linguistic systems as semantic macro and micro structures of PUs in English and Russian languages. The meaning of a PU presents a combination of two major macro components: 1) significative and denotative meaning and 2) connotative meaning. The semantic analysis of PUs gives us a fundamental understanding of existing of such micro components of meaning as estimation, emotionality, expressiveness and functioning in the context within the whole structure of meaning
