Eugenic Concerns, Population Policies and Puericulture in Interwar Greece

The scientific origins and the development of eugenic and racial theoriesformulated by physicians, jurists and intellectuals since the early twentieth century have only recently attracted scholarly attention. However, the dissemination of eugenic measures regarding the social policy that Greek interwar governments implemented to protect the health of mothers and children still remains an underresearched topic. Our contribution presents the main points of the discussion about the relation of eugenics and puericulture and traces its development among paediatricians in the 1920s and 1930s. It further looks into the stakes, the ambivalent attitude and the eugenic proposals of both liberal and authoritarian governments concerning the protection of childhood and motherhood as well as into their respective demographic policies during the interwar period

La citoyenneté dans le système éducatif grec : matières, activités et pratiques

The socio-political developments in Greece during the 80s had a direct impact on political education’s orientation : The curriculum no longer aims at enforcing the student’s adjustment to community life but rather at the student becoming an active and critically thinking citizen. This paper brings the examination of curriculum change in Greece up to the present and the move from a content-driven examination of citizenship to a pro- blem-and theme-based approach that is currently in the process of being introduced. In contemporary educational reality education for citizenship prevails as the basis on which formal education is conceived of and organized. The central discourse for education conceives the whole of the educational process, and not only the transmission of particular contents, as a public social and political task. The institutional difficulties and the didactical problems that cross-curricular innovations have brought in the civic education will be analyzed as well as the contradictions and the dilemmas related with multicultural education.Cet article tente d’analyser les tendances nouvelles constatées dans la didactique de l’enseignement civique en Grèce en rapport avec les exigences des enseignants et des élèves, ainsi que les nouveaux besoins socio-politiques. Nous nous proposons, entre autres, d’exposer la problématique créée par le phénomène de la pluralité des cultures, le débat sur l’interdisciplinarité et les difficultés institutionnelles inhérentes à l’éducation, et notamment au système éducatif grec.Karakatsani Despina.

Teaching Education Process and Citizenship in the Contemporary Digital Environment. Pre and Post-Covid Perspectives

The rapidly changing reality, which has been influenced by the development of technology and the industrial revolution since the nineteenth century, has largely weakened the teaching profession and the form and type of professional certification. This weakening also devaluates the idea of citizenship, which is largely conveyed during the education process. Contemporary education (4.0) is focused on practical education, where the space for shaping attitudes and creating behaviour patterns is marginalised. The relationship between education and industry related to socialisation and culture-forming processes is part of the development of individuals in societies and part of a broader formal development plan for different types of state and national organisations. The processes of systemic changes in education do not always keep up with the changing social, political and economic situation. The authors of this article indicate how the teacher education process looked in the past, through a sociohistorical approach based on the understanding of what teachers think about the meaning of digital learning in everyday school life and work. In order to do this, it was necessary to undertake an investigation from the perspective of the teachers themselves. This was helpful for the analysis of the semantic and ideological imperfection of education 4.0, based on the role of teaching staff in digital citizenship education

Process of introducing principles of New Education in Greece at the beginning of the 20th century : ideological issues and challenges of knowledge

The aim of the article is to provide an analysis of the introduction of principles of New Education in Greece in the beginning of the twentieth century. It focuses on the influence of this movement on Greek pedagogues, especially on those who had studied in Germany, and who tried afterwards to introduce them in the didactic sphere and in the pedagogical field. Their ideas and principles related to New Education and the School of Work (Arbeitschule) and their way of putting them into practice inside the educational system are analysed, including the creation of a certain curriculum, the way of teaching some courses, and the use of certain educational/didactical methods. It is also intended to show how the most important issues of pedagogy and didactics were developed and analysed by the most important pedagogical journals of this period. Attention is paid mainly to the difficulties faced by those who attempted to introduce this system in Greece with regard to a series of factors that differentiate the Greek paradigm from similar endeavours in other European countries. Among these factors one should mention the problem of the language and the consequent ideological antithesis, and the educational reforms in relation to the sociopolitical situation in Greece during the aforementioned period
