Children with deficits in particular areas of learning in religious education

V magistrskem delu obravnavam katehezo otrok s posebnimi potrebami, s poudarkom na otrocih s primanjkljaji na posameznih področjih učenja. Kateheti, katehisti in katehistinje se pri poučevanju verouka velikokrat znajdejo v situacijah, ko imajo v večinski skupini veroučencev, ki so večinoma brez dodatnih učnih težav, tudi otroke s posebnimi potrebami – najpogosteje k verouku nemoteno prihajajo otroci s primanjkljaji na posameznih področjih učenja. Taka situacija je pogosta tudi v srednjem šolanju, zato so v raziskavo vključeni tudi profesorji predmeta vera in kultura, ki ga izvajajo na katoliških gimnazijah. Otroci oziroma mladostniki s PPPU imajo na določenih področjih učenja, kot so branje, pisanje, računanje, pravopis izrazito nižje izobraževalne dosežke. Ker v stroki zaenkrat še ne obstajajo specifični didaktično-pedagoški pripomočki za delo z otroki in mladostniki s PPPU, sem ta problem natančneje raziskala, predstavila problematiko in poskusila oblikovati priporočila, ki bi jih pri verskem pouku otrok in mladostnikov v bodoče lahko upoštevali. Trenutno stanje v stroki sem raziskala z vprašalnikom, ki sem ga poslala izbranim katehetom in profesorjem predmeta vera in kultura. Ugotovila sem, da je k večinskemu pouku in verouku vključenih veliko otrok s PPPU (predvsem dislektikov), zanje pa zaenkrat ne obstajajo posebni specifični pripomočki in prilagojena učila. Profesorji in kateheti večinoma obravnavajo snov po zastarelih in neprilagojenih učbenikih, ki prav tako niso več primerni za ostale (vero)učence in dijake zaradi svoje neaktualnosti. Prav tako sem ugotovila, da se v stroki ne organizira dovolj rednih strokovnih izobraževanj, namenjenih specifičnemu delu z otroki in mladostniki s PPPU, oziroma se za taka izobraževanja kaže premalo zanimanja.In my master\u27s thesis I will deal with the catechesis of children with special needs, with an emphasis on children with disabilities in particular areas of learning. Catechists, catechists and catechists often find themselves in situations where children with disabilities - most often children with disabilities in particular areas of learning - are freely attending classes in a large group of believers, mostly without additional learning difficulties. Such children have markedly lower educational attainment in some areas of learning, such as reading, writing, numeracy, spelling. The disorders are as follows: dyslexia (reading disorders), dysortography (spelling problems), dyscalculia and specific artymetric learning difficulties (numeracy disorders), dysgraphia (writing disorders), non-verbal learning disorders, and dyspraxia (a deficit in practical and social skills). These disorders also often occur with neurological developmental disorders (ADHD, ADD, communication disorders, developmental coordination disorders, autism spectrum disorders) and other mental disorders (anxiety, depressive and bipolar disorders). Quite a few such students can attend a school with a personalized program, where they usually attend a class with the younger ones, and attend religious classes with their generation, quickly revealing a gap between the students\u27 abilities and learning goals and those of other religious students. Since there are no specific didactic-pedagogical recommendations for the treatment of children with special needs in the field of expertise, I will investigate this problem more closely, present the problem and try to formulate recommendations that would be taken into account in the teaching of the teaching of children with deficits in individual teaching fields in the future. I will investigate the current situation in the field with a short questionnaire to send to selected catechists and professors of the subject Religion and Culture at Diocesan High Schools in Slovenia, in order to find out how teachers adapt themselves to children and what tools and adjustments they already use

The Beauty Myth in the Works of Govekar, Kersnik, Kveder and Pajk

Magistrsko delo analizira literarni opus Frana Govekarja, Janka Kersnika, Zofke Kveder in Pavline Pajk. V središče našega raziskovanja postavljamo mit lepote v literarnih delih. V delu se posvečamo osnovnemu raziskovalnemu vprašanju, ali so liki, ki jih avtor opiše kot dobre in pozitivne osebe, hkrati tudi lepi oz. ali so med dobrimi tudi grdi ter ali so slabe osebe hkrati tudi grde – kakšno je torej razmerje »grdih slabih« proti »lepim slabim«. Cilj magistrskega dela je raziskati povezave med zunanjim videzom in značajskimi lastnostmi likov, upoštevajoč tudi socialno-ekonomsko izhodišče likov in spremembo tega skozi zgodbo. Literarne osebe ocenjujemo z vidika spola, starosti in njihovega aktivnega/pasivnega delovanja v zgodbi. Posvečamo se tudi altruizmu likov in sklenitvi partnerske skupnosti, iz katerih vzgibov so to storili ter koliko se za obstoj zveze trudijo. Enako nas zanima tako za ženske kot za moške like, osredotočamo pa se zgolj na glavne osebe literarnih del. V raziskavi nas dodatno zanima, kako spol avtorja/-ice korelira z opisom protagonistov/-k in antagonistov/-k. Magistrsko delo vsebuje teoretični in metodološki del. Kvantitativna metoda je povzeta po raziskavi I. Žunkoviča in po referenčni raziskavi J. Gottschalla, objavljeni v knjigi Literature, Science, and the New Humanities.The present master\u27s thesis analyses the literary opuses of Fran Govekar, Janko Kersnik, Zofka Kveder and Pavlina Pajk. The beauty myth in literary works is central to our research, in which we devote our attention to the fundamental research question – are the characters described by the author as good and positive also attractive or are there unattractive characters among them, and are bad people at the same time also unattractiveessentially what is the proportion between “unattractive bad” and “attractive bad” characters. The goal of this thesis is to explore the connections between the characters’ physical appearance and their personal attributes, while considering their socioeconomic background and the development of their status throughout the narrative. The literary characters are evaluated based on their gender, age and their active/passive response in the story. We also deal with the characters’ altruism and whether or not they have entered a partnership, what was their motivation and how much effort they are putting into maintaining the relationship. We seek to answer these questions in connection to female and male main characters in selected literary works. The research additionally tries to establish how the author’s gender correlates with the description of female/male protagonists and antagonists. The master’s thesis contains the theoretical and methodological part. The quantitative method was outlined in I. Žunkovič’s research and J. Gottschall’s reference research, published in the book Literature, Science, and a New Humanities

Muhammad as a second advocate

Diplomsko delo zastavlja aktualno vprašanje o primerjavi krščanstva in islama ter analizira Božje razodetje v obeh religijah, v ospredje svojega raziskovanja pa postavlja evangeljskega Jezusa ter islamskega preroka Mohameda in primerja njuno življenje ter poslanstvo. Osnovni problem diplomskega dela je vprašanje Božjega razodetja, za katerega muslimani trdijo, da se je dokončno izvršilo v islamu in ne v krščanstvu. To prepričanje temelji na Jezusovi napovedi prihoda drugega tolažnika v 14. poglavju 26. vrstice Janezovega evangelija. Diplomsko delo s pomočjo eksegetskih priročnikov Jezusovo napoved razišče in razloži. Ravno tako smo s pomočjo literature bošnjaških islamskih teologov podrobneje raziskali razloge in utemeljevanja islama kot prave vere in prepričanja, da si islam lastni zadnje in dokončno Božje razodetje. V začetku diplomskega dela primerjamo krščansko in islamsko pojmovanje Božjega razodetja. Temu vprašanju smo se posvetili bolj metodološko kot vsebinsko. Delo nadalje opredeli vlogi Božjih poslancev, posvetili smo se predvsem delovanju Jezusa in Mohamedu, njuni vlogi v skupnosti ter vlogi kot začetnikov dveh velikih religij. Obrobno smo se posvetili tudi predstavitvi Jezusa v Koranu kot velikega preroka in islamski kristologiji. Raziskovanje in ugotovitve diplomskega dela izhajajo iz korenin ene in druge religije ter primerjave njunih stičnih točk, kar je ključnega pomena za kasnejši razvoj in pojmovanje razodetja. Diplomsko delo je izključno teoretično. Delo uporablja komparativno ter sintetično metodo, s pomočjo katerih opredeli, opiše in pojasni razlike ter stične točke danes dveh največjih religij ter njunih protagonistov.The thesis raises the current question of comparing Christianity and Islam, and analyzes God\u27s revelation in both religions. A primary focus of our research is the Jesus of the Gospel and the Prophet Muhammad of Islam through a comparison of their lives and mission. A basic point of difference explored in our thesis is the question of God\u27s revelation, which Muslims claim to have been completed in Islam and not in Christianity. This contention is based on Jesus\u27 announcement of the arrival of another advocate in John 14:26. Our thesis, developed through exegetical manuals, explores and explains the prediction of Jesus. In the same way, through the literature of Bosniak Islamic theologians, we examined the reasons and justification of Islam as the true religion and the belief that Islam claims the last and ultimate revelation of God. At the beginning of our thesis development, we compare the Christian and Islamic conceptions of God\u27s revelation. We approach this part of our studymore methodologically than content-wise. We then delve into considerations of the role of God\u27s people, and above all focusing on the work of Jesus and Muhammad, their place in their respective communities, and their role as founders of two great religions. We shall include references to Jesus found in the Quran as a great prophet in Islamic Christology. The research and findings of our thesis are derived from the roots of both religions, and the comparison of their common points. This phase of our studyis of key importance for the later development and conception of revelation. Our thesis is purely theoretical founded on elements of a comparative and synthetic method to identify, describe and explain the differences and the common points of today\u27s two major religions and their protagonists
