- ItemThe Academic Reception of Austrian, German and Swiss Reform Pedagogy Representatives in Hungarian Educational Science in the Interwar Period. Quantitative Content Analysis of the Magyar Paedagogia (1918–1939)(Národní pedagogické muzeum a knihovna J. A. Komenského, ) Szabó, Zoltán András; Technická univerzita v LiberciBy remarkably dissenting from the contemporary mainstream educational thinking, reform pedagogy played a pivotal role in shaping the educational landscape of Europe and North America. This influence was also reflected in the professional periodicals of these geographical areas. Focusing on the Central European macroregion, my paper aims at examining the references to the different representatives of three (at least partly German-speaking) countries’ reform pedagogy within the pages of the prominent Hungarian educational journal, Magyar Pedagógia (Hungarian Pedagogy). The study applied computer-assisted deductive content analysis in order to identify the key figures of reform pedagogy in the text of the journal. The results indicate a notable increase in the number of the mentions subsequent to the Trianon Treaty. These reform pedagogy representatives frequently co-occurred in the same writings, with the work school (Arbeitsschule) being highlighted as a key nexus where their ideas converged.
- ItemMovement of Special Colleges for Advanced Studies and its Current Challenges in Hungary(Národní pedagogické muzeum a knihovna J. A. Komenského, ) Garai, Imre; Szabó, Zoltán András; Németh, András; Technická univerzita v LiberciMovement of Special Colleges for Advanced Studies and its Current Challenges in Hungary The history of special colleges’ movement traces back to the last decade of the 19th century in Hungary. Furthermore, its European origin can be found in colleges of medieval universities. Although this collective support of talented students has British and French origins as well, the institutionalisation of this movement can be seen as special Central- -Eastern European and Hungarian development. The Baron Eötvös József Collegium founded in 1895 was the first representative institution of this movement. From the middle of the 20th century, several other institutions were established that followed different patterns in supporting university students during their studies. However, the expansion of this movement occurred after the political transformation of 1989–1990 in Central-Eastern Europe. That was a parallel process with capacity growth of higher education, which was forced by changing social perception of higher education and transformation of the higher education policy.
- ItemThe Political Religion of Communism in Hungarian Children’s Choir Compositions between 1958–1989(Národní pedagogické muzeum a knihovna J. A. Komenského, ) Polyák, Zsuzsanna; Szabó, Zoltán András; Németh, András; Technická univerzita v LiberciLike all cultures, totalitarian regimes develop their own symbols and rituals. As such symbols, music and music making play an important role in expressing values, norms of the community, as well as in providing models for living in it (Geertz, 1973). They are especially valuable tools for educating children. This paper summarizes the result of a pilot study in the lyrics of choral pieces for children, that were distributed along with the state-published methodological journal, Énektanítás [Teaching Singing] and its continuation, Az ének-zene tanítása [Teaching Singing-Music] between 1958–1989. Using political religion (Gentile, 2006) as conceptual framework for content analysis, the study presents: 1) how different characteristics of the communist doctrine appeared in the lyrics of choral pieces and 2) how they changed over time, outlining the life-cycle of the regime itself from militant mass movements to giving place to expressions of individualism and alternative faiths until it would dissolve in the end.
