This paper extends on six aspects of an article on neoliberal school reforms, their possible influences on schools and school psychologists, and options for dealing with these challenges (Szulevicz, Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Sciences 2018). First, the reductions implied in the neoliberal view of the student as homo economicus and of an ideal student as self-regulated learner are described and alternative views of the student as a person (e.g., homo moralis) and of the ideal student (e.g., as intentional self-developer) are presented. Secondly, several promoting and inhibiting influences on neoliberal school reforms are discussed: competence-based school education, output-oriented school governance, and standardized school performance testing on the one hand, and critical discourses about these phenomena on the other. Third, attention is directed towards impending disadvantages of the aforementioned reforms (e.g., insufficient preparation of students for the fullness of life). Fourth, goals for interventions are discussed (e.g., reducing neoliberal influences on schools, creating an awareness of the disadvantages of neoliberal reforms, forming coalitions to promote alternatives to these reforms). Fifth, some intervention approaches for reaching these goals are considered with special emphasis on different system levels and stakeholders at which these interventions may be targeted (e.g., education policy makers, teachers and parents associations). Sixth, evaluations of the interventions are called for to monitor their effects and to refine the guiding goals, problem analyses, and strategies. In closing, some transferable principles of the preceding approach are highlighted that could be used to better understand and manage other educational problems as well.

AbstrakPendidikan karakter merupakan upaya untuk meningkatkan kualitas proses dan hasil pembelajaran yang mengarah kepada pembentukan karakter peserta didik dengan menitiberatkan pada keteladanan, pembiasaan, dan penciptaan lingkungan yaang kondusif . Bertujuan untuk menanamkan nilai-nilai karakter matematika seperti jujur, demokrasi, bertanggungjawab, mandiri, disiplin, kerja keras, kreatif, dan rasa ingin tahu. Nilai-nilai karakter yang dikembangkan dalam pembelajaran matematika tetap harus berlandaskan pada nilai-nilai universal. Pengintegrasian nilai-nilai pendidikan karakter dapat ditempuh dengan langkah-langkah : a) Menggunakan nilai-nilai budaya dan karakter yang memperlihatkan keterkaitan antara Kompetensi Inti dan Kompetensi Dasar dengan nilai dan indikator untuk menentukan nilai yang akan dikembangkan; b) Mencantumkan nilai-nilai budaya dan karakter itu ke dalam silabus; c) Mencantumkan nilai-nilai yang sudah tertera pada silabus ke dalam Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran; d) Mengembangkan proses pembelajaran peserta didik secara aktif yang memungkinkan peserta didik memiliki kesempatan melakukan internalisasi nilai dan menunjukkannya dalam perilaku yang sesuai; e) Memberikan bantuan kepada peserta didik, baik yang mengalami kesulitan untuk menginternalisasi nilai maupun untuk menunjukkannya dalam perilaku. Oleh karena itu diharapkan setiap peserta didik mampu menginternalisasikan nilai-nilai tersebut ke dalam tingkah laku kehidupan sehari-hari melalui proses pembelajaran, baik di dalam kelas maupun di luar kelas. Pembelajaran yang dapat menginternalisasikan nilai-nilai tersebut adalah pembelajaran kontekstual yang membantu guru dalam memotivasi siswa untuk mengaitkan pengetahuan yang dipelajarinya dengan kehidupan sehari-hari. Karakter apa sajakah yang dapat dikembangkan pada mata pelajaran matematika?. Dan model pembelajaran apa yang dapat diterapkan untuk mengembangkan karakter matematika?. Dengan menggunakan metode penelusuran literatur, artikel ini menyajikan tentang integrasi nilai-nilai karakter dalam mata pelajaran matematika melalui model pembelajaran kontekstual.Kata Kunci: Nilai-Nilai karakteristik Matematika, Pembelajaran Kontekstual.AbstractCharacter education is an effort to improve the quality of process and learning outcomes that lead to the formation of the character of learners by focusing on exemplary, habituation, and the creation of a conducive environment. Aims to inculcate the values of mathematical characters such as honest, democratic, responsible, independent, disciplined, hard work, creative, and curiosity. The character values developed in mathematics learning must still be based on universal values. Integrating character education values can be pursued by the following steps: a) Using cultural values and characters that show the linkage between Core Competence and Basic Competence with values and indicators to determine the value to be developed; b) Include the cultural and character values into the syllabus; c) Include the values listed in the syllabus into the Lesson Plans; d) Develop an active learning process of learners that enable learners to have opportunities to internalize values and demonstrate them in appropriate behaviors; e) Provide assistance to learners, whether it is difficult to internalize the value or to show it in behavior. Therefore it is expected that every student can internalize these values into the behavior of everyday life through the learning process, both in the classroom and outside the classroom. Learning that can internalize these values is contextual learning that helps teachers in motivating students to relate knowledge learned to everyday life. What are the characteristics that can be developed on math subjects ?. And what learning model can be applied to develop math character ?. Using the literature search method, this article presents the integration of character values in mathematics subjects through a contextual learning model.Keyword: Values of Mathematical Characteristics, Contextual Learning.

Based on a comprehensive review of human and societal evolution the book develops an approach to conscious, self-guided evolution. In the course of the evolutionary journey of our species, there have been three seminal events. The first happened some seven million yeas ago, when our humanoid ancestors entered on the evolutionary scene. Their journey toward the second crucial event lasted over six million years when - as the greatest event of our evolutionary history - homo sapiens sapiens, started the revolutionary process of cultural evolution. Today, we have arrived at the threshold of the third major event, `the revolution of conscious evolution,' when it becomes our responsibility to enter into the evolutionary design space and guide the evolutionary journey of our species. The book tells the story of the first six million years of the journey in just enough detail to understand how evolution had worked in times when it was primarily biological, driven by natural selection. With the human revolution some fifty thousand years ago, with the emergence of self-reflective consciousness, the evolutionary process transformed from biological into cultural. From this point on, the book follows the journey with detailed attention, in order to learn how cultural evolution works. The book is organized in three parts. Part One commences with an exposition of a brief history of the evolutionary idea through time with a focus on a review of the science of general evolution and specifically social and societal evolution. Next, the book unfolds the `evolutionary story' of our species from the time when the first humanoids entered the evolutionary scene to our current era. Part Two develops a systems view of evolution, explores the ways and means of how evolution works, characterizes evolutionary consciousness and develops the idea of conscious evolution. Part Three builds upon the knowledge developed in the first two parts and sets forth the key conditions of conscious, self-guided evolution, elaborating the core condition, which is the acquisition of evolutionary competence through evolutionary learning. The focus of this part is on an approach to the design of evolutionary guidance systems that our families, neighborhoods, communities, organizations, social and societal systems can use to design the future they aspire to attain. The work is set aside from other statements in three important ways. It provides: (1) a comprehensive review of how evolution has worked wit ...

В статье описаны результаты регионального исследования престижа работников библиотек. По итогам проведенного в 2014 г. в Тамбовской области экспертного опроса руководителей учреждений культуры определено место профессии библиотекаря в рейтинге профессий, выделены региональные отличия в статусе библиотекарей Тамбовской области от соседних регионов.

Invisibilization of racism is evident in Panamá, although its effects are clearly exposed in day to day practices that may appear normal or innocent. Thesepractices have constant and violently disturbed Afropanamanian people life over the course of national history. The implications of racism are and have been present in the social, cultural and political scenarios defining inequalities in terms of rights and opportunities. With the focus on gender perspective, the goal is to identify and analyze power and domination relationships in which Afropanamanian women are involved. Nevertheless, the complex network of strategies developed by the society to provide different opportunities to women makes them face an unfair market of competences, along with a strong impact on their subjectivity, mostly due to being Afropanamanian. Pointing to propitiate new research in the national academy, the article includes some methodological issues and results of an anthropological inquire about the situation of Afropanamanian women. ; El racismo en Panamá, si bien está invisibilizado, sus efectos se manifiestan en prácticas cotidianas que parecen normales o inocentes, que la población afropanameña ha experimentado de forma constante y violenta a lo largo de la historia nacional. Las implicaciones del racismo han organizado las relaciones sociales en el panorama social, político y cultural en Panamá, y definido oportunidades y ejercicios de derechos para unos grupos en deterioro de otros. Sobre la base de una mirada atenta al género se identifican las relaciones de poder y dominación en las que está inserto el conglomerado mujer afropanameña. A pesar del complejo entramado de estrategias con que la sociedad actualiza oportunidades muy diferentes para las mujeres queda en evidencia el mercado de competencia al que se enfrentan y el gran impacto sobre sus propias subjetividades, de manera particular, por ser mujeres afro. En este artículo se proponen a la academia nacional elementos conceptuales, metodológicos y hallazgos de la investigación sobre la situación de las mujeres afropanameñas que puedan propiciar nuevas búsquedas y líneas de análisis.

Abstract
Through the lens of raciolinguistics, this nascent study examines the mobility/immobility of two African American Muslim TESOL teachers (AAMTT) working in the Saudi Arabian higher education (HE) context. The data were collected through interviews and autobiographies in order to examine the participants' lived experiences and their stories. It also explores the paradoxes, tensions and duplicities in treatment experienced by these two TESOL teachers while teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in Saudi Arabia. These teachers moved to the Gulf region with diverse forms of cultural, symbolic, linguistic, economic and social capital, including being 'native speakers' with excellent command of the English language, identifying (and being identified) with the culture of hip hop and Hollywood (which is replete with famous African Americans), and representing American ideals of individualism, freedom of expression, open mindedness and upward mobility. Conversely, navigating through Saudi Arabia, these AAMTT have also experienced marginalization by consistent questioning of their national origins, failure to secure employment or being flatly rejected due to colour, and scepticism by students and administrators about the level of linguistic competence, accent, rhetoric and accuracy in delivering English lessons. Likewise, subscribers to the Islamic faith, their lofty expectations of what life would be like in the Gulf have been further complicated by experiences of direct and indirect racism (a direct contradiction of Islamic teachings of universal inclusion), and they have also striven to learn the Arabic language to gain religious and social capital while simultaneously fending off perceptions that Arabic speakers cannot be 'native speakers' of English. Therapeutically, the researcher reflects on his own experiences with transnationalism as well as the experiences of these two TESOL teachers and their struggles with constantly re-conceptualizing identity and self as new challenges present themselves in the Saudi Arabia. The paradox of possessing the cultural tools for mobility while also having features that hinder mobility is explored and the researcher discusses the strategies ultimately adopted and employed to navigate living in the Gulf.

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to outline arguments for addressing religion in social studies teacher education, including strategies teacher educators might use on how and why pre-service teachers should incorporate teaching about religion in their classes. Topics addressed are: issues surrounding pre-service teachers' religious identities; teaching pre-service teachers about legal issues associated with religion in public school classrooms (e.g. teaching about religion vs teaching for religion, First Amendment rights and constraints); teacher education's role in developing religious knowledge and the influence of religion in the disciplines that comprise the social studies; and an overview of strategies and resources that teacher educators can use with their pre-service teachers.


Design/methodology/approach
This paper provides a literature review and arguments for addressing religion in social studies teacher education. A lesson plan and resources for teacher educators are also provided.


Findings
Teaching and talking about religion can no longer be marginalized or ignored within social studies teacher education. Whether it be the importance of pre-service teachers' religious identities, legal issues related to public schooling or the influence of religion across the social studies disciplines – religion matters to social studies teacher education. As the current social, political and cultural realities attest, the influence of religion appears to be more and more significant in our interconnected and interdependent world.


Originality/value
Religious literacy is a key part of civic competence and if social studies is viewed as a way to help prepare a more informed citizenry – and a way to teach and promote dialogue across difference – then social studies teacher educators must find a way to include religion in their courses. By doing so, teacher educators encourage pre-service teachers to examine how religious identity may influence their teaching, and also help develop religious literacy and an understanding of how religion is integral to the various social studies disciplines. Ultimately, this important and often ignored work in teacher education may foster cultural understandings that will lead to a more informed and respectful society.

We, our bodies and spirits and our natural and social biotopes are complex adaptable systems [CAS's], interdependent and vulnerable within natural, cultural and political biotopes, longing for life, health and happiness. Clinical and pediatric expertise and ethics are also integrated in many fields of competence and care for our integrated bios and for sustainable biotopes in nature and society. A Bioethical Imperative calls for protecting the complex and interdependent bios in nature and agriculture and in our human social, economic, corporate, cultural, and political bodies for the benefit of our children and ourselves, and for discussing 'health' and 'improvement' in ethical and not only in technical terms. The protection and promotion of healthy people, sustainable societies, and diverse and stable political bodies depend on basic economic accomplishments, healthy food, harmonious communities, preservation and diversity of cultures and environments, on individual dignity and social recognition, i.e. on gross happiness products [GHP's] and not only on gross national products [GNP's] measured in economic terms only. ; Mi, naša tijela i duše i naši prirodni i društveni biotopi, složeni su prilagodljivi sustavi, međusobno ovisni i ranjivi unutar prirodnih, kulturnih i političkih biotopa, žudeći za životom, zdravljem i srećom. Klinička i pedijatrijska stručnost i etika također su integrirani u mnoga područja kompetencije i brige za naš integrirani bios i za održive biotope u prirodi i društvu. Bioetički imperativ poziva na zaštitu složenih i međusobno ovisnih biosa u prirodi i poljoprivredi i u našim društvenim, ekonomskim, korporativnim, kulturnim i političkim tijelima za dobrobit naše djece i nas samih te za raspravljanje o 'zdravlju' i 'poboljšanju' u etičkom, a ne samo tehničkom smislu. Zaštita i promicanje zdravih ljudi, održivih društava i raznovrsnih i stabilnih političkih tijela ovise o temeljnim ekonomskim postignućima, zdravoj hrani, skladnim zajednicama, očuvanju i raznolikosti kultura i okoliša, o dostojanstvu pojedinca i društvenom priznanju, odnosno o produktu velike sreće, a ne samo o bruto nacionalnim proizvodima [BNP] koji se mjere samo u ekonomskom smislu.

This research addresses the recognition of otherness in school as a necessity to develop educational competence to learn to be and live with others, which since the 1990s was part of the four essential pillars for the education of the future. The problem of learning otredad is based on the fact that today's societies place the coexistence of a progressive heterogeneity of people, communities, origins, languages, cultures and identities, however school violence has increased in any of its manifestations, this paradox is due to the fact that schools cannot be agencies of social exclusion. The emergence of policies in favor of the management of coexistence in the educational system in Mexico in a challenge for the entire school community. At school, educational agents have not taken over these changes synchronously, nor have individuals in their role as teachers and students make use of the reason to leave their minority of political and cultural age, and assume diversity as an essential part of democratic society. ; Esta investigación aborda el reconocimiento de la otredad en la escuela como una necesidad para desarrollar la competencia educativa aprender a ser y convivir con los demás, que desde los años noventa del siglo XX formó parte de los cuatro pilares esenciales para la educación del futuro. La problemática del aprendizaje de la otredad se fundamenta en el hecho de que las sociedades actuales ubican la coexistencia de una heterogeneidad progresiva de personas, comunidades, orígenes, lenguas, culturas e identidades, empero se ha incrementado la violencia escolar en cualquiera de sus manifestaciones, esta paradoja se debe a que las escuelas no pueden ser agencias de la exclusión social. La emergencia de políticas a favor de la gestión de la convivencia en el sistema educativo en México en un reto para toda la comunidad escolar. En la escuela, los agentes educativos no se han apoderado de estos cambios de forma sincrónica, ni han hecho que los individuos en su rol de docentes y estudiantes, hagan uso de la razón para salir de su minoría de edad política y cultural y, asuman la diversidad como parte esencial de la sociedad democrática.

In this paper, based on the knowledge elaborated through different research projects carried out in recent years, I first argue the difficulty of creating discourses and proposals from the field of education due, among other factors, to the scarcity of means and resources for educational research. Second, I refer to the social, political, economic, cultural and technological changes that have led to the emergence and expansion, especially from the business field, of the discourses on the importance and convenience of implementing competency-based teaching and learning processes. I also discuss the strengths, difficulties and dangers that this entails. Thirdly, I consider the proposals made by different international organizations and their application in the Spanish education system. Next, I explore the difficulty of generating substantive changes in teaching and learning, from the enactment of the real decrees that stipulate the obligation to introduce the considered basic competences in the school curricula. The article ends with some conclusions and proposals for thinking. ; En este artículo, basado en el conocimiento elaborado a través de distintos proyectos de investigación realizados en los últimos años, en primer lugar, argumento la dificultad de crear discursos y propuestas desde el campo de la educación debido, entre otros factores, a la escasez de medios y recursos para la investigación educativa.

También discuto las fortalezas, dificultades y peligros que esto conllevan. En tercer lugar, considero las propuestas realizadas por distintos organismos internacionales y su aplicación en el sistema educativo español. A continuación, exploro la dificultad de generar cambios sustantivos en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, a partir de la promulgación de los reales decretos que estipulan la obligatoriedad de introducir las consideradas competencias básicas en los currículos escolares.
