    Ο πλανήτης γη πλήττεται συχνά από σεισμικές καταστροφές με τρομερές συνέπειες στις ανθρώπινες κοινωνίες και στο περιβάλλον του. Το φυσικό αυτό φαινόμενο δημιούργησε ανησυχίες στους προϊστορικούς ανθρώπους και έδωσε το έναυσμα για αναζητήσεις και ερμηνείες σε όλους τους πολιτισμούς και τις θρησκείες. Οι μοναδικοί και ενδιαφέροντες μύθοι με τους οποίους οι άνθρωποι προσέγγισαν τους σεισμούς, αποτέλεσαν την παράδοσή τους και διαδόθηκαν από γενιά σε γενιά, αποτελεί το αντικείμενο της παρούσας εργασίας. Ο βασικός σκοπός της μελέτης είναι να εξετάσει τη σημασία των μύθων στη διδακτική διαδικασία. Σε πρώτο στάδιο γίνεται αναφορά στις ιερές ιστορίες των σεισμών που έρχονται από το παρελθόν μέσα από τη μυθολογία της παγκόσμιας κοινότητας. Αναλύεται η σημασία των μύθων για τους λαούς καθώς και η αξία αυτών στη γνωστική, κοινωνική, συναισθηματική και ηθική ανάπτυξη στους μαθητές. Στη συνέχεια αναδεικνύεται η αξιοποίηση της μυθολογίας στη σχολική τάξη εστιάζοντας στη χρήση των μύθων για την προσέγγιση του γεωλογικού φαινομένου του σεισμού. Η διαδικασία που χρησιμοποιείται ακολουθεί τη βιωματική μέθοδο διδασκαλίας project. Σε τρίτο στάδιο επιχειρείται η διδακτική προσέγγιση του φαινομένου του σεισμού στο δημοτικό σχολείο διαθεματικά, υλοποιώντας σχέδιο εργασίας με τη χρήση των μύθων από την ελληνική και παγκόσμια μυθολογία σε παιδιά πρώτης σχολικής ηλικίας. Ο κύριος στόχος είναι η ανάδειξη της συμβολής των μύθων στην πνευματική καλλιέργεια των μαθητών καθώς επίσης στην ευαισθητοποίησή τους σε ζητήματα σεισμών και περιβάλλοντος. Στη συνέχεια να παρουσιάσει πως οι μύθοι μπορούν να βοηθήσουν τους μαθητές στην ανακάλυψη της άρρηκτης σχέσης του ανθρώπου με τη γη και το περιβάλλον.Planet Earth is often hit by seismic disasters with terrible consequences on human societies and its environment. Prehistoric people were concerned about this natural phenomenon as well, and as a consequence in any culture and religion several attempts of examination and explanation of the seismic disasters origin can be found. In the human history people created unique and interesting myths trying to explain the earthquakes, establishing a tradition spread from generation to generation. This is the subject of the current work. The main purpose of the study is to examine the importance of myths in the teaching process. In the first stage, the sacred stories of earthquakes, as they are delivered to us from the mythology of the world community, are referenced. The value of myths to people is analyzed, as well as their influence in cognitive, social, emotional and moral development of the students. The use of mythology inside the class is addressed focusing on how the myths are used to approach the geological phenomenon of earthquake. The teaching method that is followed is the experimental teaching method called the ‘Project’. At the last stage, the phenomenon of earthquake is studied through a cross disciplinary attempt. Specifically, for the first grade kids of the elementary school an exercise based on the myths of the Greek and world mythology is developed. The main purpose of this attempt is to show how the myths can affect the spiritual cultivation of the students as well as their awareness to seismic and environmental issues. In turn it is tried to present how the myths can help the students to discover the strong relation of man with the mother earth and the environment

    Discriminating CEFR levels in Greek L2: a corpus-based study of young learners’ written narratives

    No full text
    In line with cross-linguistic research aiming at identifying criterial features that discriminate the CEFR proficiency levels, the present study investigates language elements that are core characteristics of each proficiency level for Greek L2. It is based on a graded corpus of 150 written narratives produced by young L2 learners (aged 8–14) at levels A2 to B2. This corpus was annotated with respect to a set of features at both the sentence and discourse level, such as clause subordination, connectives, modifiers and grammatical accuracy. Statistical analysis identified certain aspects of these features that discriminate language proficiency levels in L2 Greek narratives and are put forward as criterial features. These include the frequency of dependent and centre-embedded clauses, the gradual decrease of additive and the emergence of contrastive and inferential connectives, the felicitous use of clitics, as well as the use of evaluative adverbs and adjectives
