Abstract
The aim of this paper is to consider the currency of Comenius's understandings of preschool and family education, and their congruence with the modern theory and practice of preschool and family education. In this context, a comparative research was conducted, utilizing the method of theoretical analysis, and the technique of content analysis. The comparative analysis implies that many of Comenius's ideas are still relevant, and congruent with contemporary theoretical and empirical knowledge about preschool and family education to a great extent. The conformity of attitudes within the pedagogical system was recorded, despite the fact that Comenius's attitudes regarding children's nature and childhood, goals, importance and content of early childhood education and family environment, as well as the role of parents in that process were presented and developed in unique historical and sociopolitical circumstances. Although the comparative analysis carried out has certain limitations (selective choice of primary and secondary sources of analysis, difficulties in establishing equivalence), this work can be a stimulus for further elaboration of Comenius' essential understandings of preschool and family education in conditions of increasingly complex crises in education and the family.
期刊介绍:
NORMA is an international journal for high quality research concerning masculinity in its many forms. This is an interdisciplinary journal concerning questions about the body, about social and textual practices, and about men and masculinities in social structures. We aim to advance theory and methods in this field. We hope to present new themes for critical studies of men and masculinities, and develop new approaches to ''intersections'' with race, sexuality, class and coloniality. We are eager to have conversations about the role of men and boys, and the place of masculinities, in achieving gender equality and social equality. The journal was begun in the Nordic region; we now strongly invite scholarly work from all parts of the world, as well as research about transnational relations and spaces. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind and submission is online via Editorial Manager.
