Teaching Tolerance in a Globalized World: An Introduction
No full textThe increasing diversity of student populations is a global educational trend. The relatively recent rapid influx of immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers, coupled with issues of increasing intolerance, social exclusion and feelings of alienation, and extremism among young people, are posing complex challenges for educational systems around the world. Education has a key role to play in preparing future generations to address these problems and ensuring that young people acquire the social, civic, and intercultural competences needed for active and successful participation in society. This book presents five empirical studies, designed to examine differing factors and conditions that may help schools and teachers in their endeavors to promote tolerance in a globalized world. The 2009 International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) provided the research data. This introductory chapter describes the overall theoretical framework, discusses key constructs, and outlines the aims guiding the five studies, concluding with an overview of all chaptersInternational Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) provided the researchdata.

How Do We Assess Civic Attitudes Toward Equal Rights? Data and Methodology
No full textThis open access thematic report identifies factors and conditions that can help schools and education systems promote tolerance in a globalized world. The IEA’s International Civic and Citizenship Study (ICCS) is a comparative research program designed to investigate the ways in which young people are prepared to undertake their roles as citizens, and provides a wealth of data permitting not only comparison between countries but also comparisons between schools within countries, and students within countries. Advanced analytical methods provide insights into relationships between students’ attitudes towards cultural diversity and the characteristics of the students themselves, their families, their teachers and school principals. The rich diversity of educational and cultural contexts in the 38 countries who participated in ICCS 2009 are also acknowledged and addressed. Readers interested in civic education and adolescents’ attitudes towards cultural diversity will find the theoretical perspectives explored engaging. For readers interested in methodology, the advanced analytical methods employed present textbook examples of how to address cross-cultural comparability of measurement instruments and multilevel data structures in international large-scale assessments (ILSA). Meanwhile, those interested in educational policy should find the identification and comparison of malleable factors across education systems that contribute to positive student attitudes towards cultural diversity a useful and thought-provoking resource
Maria Magdalena Łubieńska (1833–1920) – artystka wyemancypowana
No full textMaria Magdalena Łubieńska née Countess Łubieńska (1833–1920), an amateur painter, author of oil paintings, watercolours and drawings, forced by the circumstances of life to found in 1867 the School of Drawing and Painting and then, in 1878, “Painting Shop”, which three years later became the Studio of St Luke, operating until at least 1910. Łubieńska’s Studio was chiefly famous for its stained glass windows (made in mixed technique). Many of them have survived to this day in churches, mostly neo-Gothic, located in the then Congress Kingdom of Poland. The stained glass works are also noted in the churches of the Austrian and Prussian partitions of Poland and former eastern borderlands, including Russia. The first stained glass window, for the Warsaw cathedral, Łubieńska was to paint herself. The stained glass windows made in the Warsaw studio, presented in this paper, reflect her activity only in part. Admired by her contemporaries, mocked in subsequent periods, they are currently becoming of interest to art historians.Maria Magdalena z hr. Łubieńskich Łubieńska (1833–1920) malarka amatorka, autorka obrazów olejnych, akwareli i rysunków; zmuszona przez okoliczności życiowe założyła w 1867 roku Szkołę Rysunku i Malarstwa, następnie, w 1878, „Malarnię”, którą trzy lata później przekształciła w Zakład św. Łukasza, czynny przynajmniej do 1910 roku. Zakład Łubieńskiej zasłynął przede wszystkim z wyrobu witraży (wykonywanych w technice mieszanej). Wiele z nich zachowało się do naszych czasów w kościołach, głównie neogotyckich, na obszarze ówczesnego Królestwa Polskiego. Prace witrażowe zakładu notuje się również w kościołach zaboru austriackiego i pruskiego oraz dawnych Kresów, także Rosji. Pierwszy witraż, do katedry warszawskiej, Łubieńska miała malować samodzielnie. Zaprezentowane w artykule witraże warszawskiej pracowni tylko w części są odbiciem jej działalności. Podziwiane przez współczesnych, wykpione w kolejnych epokach, stają się obecnie obiektem zainteresowania historyków sztuki

Zygmunt Gloger’s archeological interests
No full textThe article focuses on the presentation of Zygmunt Gloger’s figure as a co-founder and the first president of Towarzystwo Krajoznawcze (The Sightseeing Society). The author focuses on showing the way that passion for learning about the past of one’s own area and one’s own country, initiated and implemented by Zygmunt Gloger, became the task of the social institution he established. For this purpose, she mentions and analyzes many aspects of life of the intellectual antiquarian from Jeżewo; both those that shaped him as a writer, and as a scientist-archaeologist.Uniwersytet ŁódzkiAbramowicz Andrzej, Historia archeologii polskiej XIX i XX wiek, Warszawa–Łódź 1991.Abramowicz Andrzej, Wiek Archeologii, Warszawa 1967.Blombergowa Maria Magdalena, Badania na ziemiach litewskich i białoruskich, [w:] Badania Polaków na terytorium Imperium Rosyjskiego w XIX i początku XX wieku, Łódź 1993, s. 39-71.Blombergowa Maria Magdalena, O najstarszych polskich mapach archeologicznych, „Kwartalnik Historii Nauki i Techniki” 1992, R. 37, nr 2, s. 151-172.Burek Krzysztof, Starożytnicy i archeolodzy.
